Chapter 399 Give You a Slap
Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was very depressed. He was a minister of the Ministry of War. During the invasion of Jiannu, he led the army to resist Jiannu. After Hong Chengchou recovered Zunhua, he returned to Zunhua City and served as Minister of the Ministry of War. Zunhua.He is the Minister of the Ministry of War. According to the theory, he is the boss of Zunhua City, and the place where he sits is also in the middle of the lobby, but it is impossible now. The person sitting in the middle of the lobby is a young man, wearing black armor, with a raw face. Ru Guanyu, eyes like bright stars, but the soldiers on the left and right sides of the hall are fierce, making Zhang Fengyi tremble with fear and dare not move.

"Your Majesty came to Zunhua, I don't know what to advise?" Zhang Fengyi was very helpless, and everyone said that the Zhengbei Army was extremely good at fighting. I didn't believe it before, but now I finally believe it. I was still in Ji County yesterday, and this morning, I took advantage of Zunhua City Within an hour of opening the city gate, he rushed into the city. Li Xin even beheaded the guerrilla generals defending the city. Thirty thousand troops roared past and occupied Zunhua City. Poor Zhang Fengyi didn't even have a chance to react. He was blocked in the government office.Finally, under Li Xin's repeated assurances of his life, he called the gate of the government office and let everyone in.

"It's nothing. I heard that Zunhua is beautiful. Last time I came, I didn't have time to come in, so this time I came in and took a look. Why, Zhang Shangshu, you don't want Benhou to come in?" Li Xin looked at it with a half-smile Zhang Fengyi.

"Don't dare, dare not, it's Zunhua's honor for Master Hou to come to Zunhua, how could the subordinates object?" Zhang Fengyi smiled, but he was secretly scolding Hong Chengchou in his heart, he finally remembered Li Xin Why did he come to Zunhua? At the beginning, Hong Chengchou blocked Li Xin in Zunhua. If he hadn't forgotten to pack the food and grass outside the city camp, Li Xin would have been trapped here to death.For this matter, Hong Chengchou also publicized it everywhere, and he was proud of it for a long time.Zhang Fengyi was also envious and jealous, but he never thought that Li Xin, the majestic Marquis of Zhengbei, would be a guy who would take revenge. Occupying Zunhua, he turned himself, the majestic Minister of the Ministry of War, into a prisoner.These are all caused by the hateful Hong Chengchou. It's too hateful for me, Zhang Fengyi, to wipe the shit you pulled down by yourself.At this time, what Zhang Fengyi hated the most was not Li Xin, but Hong Chengchou who followed behind Li Xin's army.If it wasn't for Hong Chengchou, who had played Li Xin together, how could he be what he is today.

"That's good." Li Xin nodded, and suddenly said: "At the time when Jiannu retreated in a hurry, he must have left a lot of things behind! Where did these gold and silver treasures, and those food and grass go? I don't want to Take all of them, but there must be a share for those who see it! You know, if I, Li Xin, hadn't held up Jiannu, my lords wouldn't have been able to get these things!"

"This, this? Lord Hou, the lower officials didn't take so much money!" Zhang Fengyi's complexion suddenly changed after hearing this, his face flushed red all the way to his neck.

"Could it be that you all gave these gold and silver treasures and food to those ordinary people?" Li Xin said disdainfully.He didn't believe that people like Hong Chengchou were so good that they would return all these gold and silver treasures to their owners.If the officials of the Ming Dynasty were all so good, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Ming Dynasty would not have become what it is now.He, Li Xin, has no chance to rise beyond the Great Wall.

"This, this, Lord Hou, you also know that the soldiers and horses of the lower official came last. After paying tens of thousands of taels of silver and 20 shi of grain and grass, these need to be given to the victims of the disaster, and the Xifengkou must be rebuilt, I really don’t have much silver taels here." Zhang Fengyi said with a wry smile.

Seeing his appearance, Li Xin believed him a little bit, and said with a smile: "I don't know how the disaster victims in the city are now? Can anyone go home and start farming again?"

"Hou Ye was joking. Jiannu just left, but many people came back, but all the land was seized by the big family, and the property of the family was not preserved. Although many returned home, they were also waiting It's just relief." Zhang Fengyi was not lying about this, and Li Xin had indeed seen this in the city.

"Are you interested in sending all these people to the cloud?" Li Xin suddenly looked at Zhang Fengyi and said.

However, Zhang Fengyi's face changed, he shook his head as if he didn't know what he looked like, he waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Master Hou, this officer is responsible for protecting the environment and the people, how can he send the people under his rule to the cloud? Once the court blames it, the lower officials can't afford it!"

"Master Zhang, do you think His Majesty the Emperor won't trouble you if you let our lord enter the city?" Shi Yuan said with a straight smile: "The so-called protection of the border and peace of the people, the imperial court has lost so many cities and lost money." Officials who have killed the people should be killed. But aren’t these people living well now? I heard that Lord Shangshu and Lord Shoufu are on good terms?”

Zhang Fengyi was startled when he heard the words, and looked at Shi Yuanzhi in surprise, the friendship between him and Wen Tiren was still very secret, not many people in the court knew about it, but looking at Shi Yuanzhi's appearance, he obviously knew the secret Yes, which surprised him.

"Master Shi made a joke. The lower officials and the first assistant ministers are gentlemen who are not party members, how could they collude with each other? Lord Hou also made a joke." Zhang Fengyi naturally denied this.

"Yes or no, my Lord Hou is naturally lazy to take care of it. After all, my lord is just a Marquis of Zhengbei, not a member of the imperial cabinet. As for the dirty things among the court officials, my Lord Hou is even more unwilling to watch." Arrived." Shi Yuanzhi said with a smile: "It's just that we are concerned about these people. Once the slaves create chaos, then the imperial army will cause chaos again. If after we leave, Hong Chengchou's soldiers come here and cause chaos again. Whether the prestige of the imperial court is lost or not has nothing to do with us, but it has a lot to do with my Lord Marquis, we cannot let the common people scold my master behind his back, I believe Lord Shang Shu understands this!"

"This is natural, this is natural." Zhang Fengyi cursed secretly in his heart. Who didn't know that Li Xin was an extremely hypocritical guy. At the beginning, this guy took a lot of food from the Jiangnan gentry, which caused complaints from the Jiangnan gentry, but he didn't expect it Yes, Li Xin did not collect these grains and grasses into his own bag, but distributed them all to the people in Shandong. For a while, the people in Shandong called Li Xin the Buddha of Ten Thousand Families.Right now, Li Xin still looks like this, it's really abominable.

"Well, since this is the case, this Marquis will recruit refugees in the city. As long as they are willing to go to Yunzhong, this Marquis hopes that Master Shangshu will not stop them." Li Xin looked at Zhang Fengyi and said calmly.

"That's natural, that's natural." Zhang Fengyi felt annoyed in his heart, but he had no choice but to nod repeatedly.

"Damn, hate." Hong Chengchou, who has always been cunning and cunning, cursed loudly in the imperial camp outside Jixian County. He received news from Zunhua that Li Xin had really captured Zunhua, and he was recruiting refugees in Zunhua. Migrate these refugees to the cloud.You must know that most of these refugees were captured by Jiannu from various places in the Central Plains. Later, because Li Xin captured Xifengkou, Jiannu withdrew in a hurry, causing these Ming Dynasty people to stay in Zunhua. Although Hong Chengchou and others Zunhua was recovered, but they did not have time to resettle these refugees. The army took the grain, grass, gold and silver treasures looted by Jiannu as their own, and did not distribute half of them to the refugees, so these refugees could only be trapped in Zunhua In the city, these people have now become Li Xin's trophies.Although Hong Chengchou was well prepared, he was still very angry when things came to an end.

"Right now, I'm afraid we can't do anything about Li Xin?" The one who spoke was Gao Qiqian, who still came with Hong Chengchou. As for Lu Xiangsheng, he led Tianxiong's army to continue to suppress bandits, and Qin Liangyu also led his army back to Shuzhong.

"Junmen, why don't we send troops to the entrance of Xifeng and block the entrance of Xifeng." Zuo Liangyu rolled his eyes and said suddenly: "No matter how powerful Li Xin is, he can't conquer it in a short time compared to him." Xifengkou."

"Take Xifengkou?" Hong Chengchou's eyes lit up, but he quickly thought of something, shook his head and said: "Although Xifengkou is a Xiongguan Pass, it's a pity that Jiannu burned that place clean." It's clean, you don't really think that there is Zhang Shangshu there, so you will finish the repair of Xifengkou!"

"The last general made a slip of the tongue." Zuo Liangyu said hastily.The efficiency of officials in the Ming Dynasty was very poor. Unless there was an imperial decree from the emperor, otherwise, these things could not be done so easily.

"Actually, it's really not easy for us to intervene in this matter." Hong Chengchou suddenly remembered the scene when Yang Sichang was about to leave. The Shangfang sword was not something anyone could bear.Yang Sichang was just going to be the magistrate. Even though the former Xuanfu was special, but with the failure of Lin Danhan and Li Xin's unification of the grasslands, the place of Xuanfu is no longer important.In such a place, Yang Sichang actually carried Shangfang's sword when he took office. This is probably a big move, and the target of this big move must be Li Xin.

How could Li Xin be so easy to deal with? Hong Chengchou was very disdainful of Yang Sichang. This guy might have some room for improvement in the court and could do something, but at the border, especially in the Xuanfu, he was just looking for guilt.

To be honest, Hong Chengchou probably didn't even think that he refuted Zuo Liangyu's suggestion. On the one hand, it was because Xifeng buckle might not be suitable for defense, but on the other hand, in his heart, he was not jealous of Yang Sichang. It means that he has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty since the Tianqi Dynasty, and even made a lot of efforts when Chongzhen ascended the throne, but when it comes to trust, he may not be as much as Yang Sichang.This time, it is also a subconscious reaction to cooperate with Li Xin and calculate Yang Sichang.

"Then should we report this matter to the emperor and ask the emperor to decide." Zuo Liangyu hurriedly asked.

"That's natural." Hong Chengchou said without thinking: "I'm afraid the Son of Heaven would not have thought that Li Xin would go to Zunhua. Hehe, it's a trivial matter for me to lose face. The key is that Yang Sichang's side may be in trouble."

"Where is Master Yang?" Zuo Liangyu's expression changed.

"Do you still remember the man named Huang Degong who competed with you in front of the Meridian Gate? He followed Yang Sichang to Xuanfu." Hong Chengchou suddenly said with a smile: "But this time, this Huang Chuangzi may be in trouble."

"My lord, there is no war in Xuanfu, how could it be so unlucky?" Zuo Liangyu asked curiously.

"Because their target this time is Li Xin." Hong Chengchou sneered: "You don't really think that Yang Sichang went to the Xuanfu once, just as a magistrate! He wants to deal with Li Xin and the North Army, so just Take Huang Degong away. Hehe, I'm afraid a Huang Degong can't deal with Li Xin, and Yang Sichang has made a big mistake this time."

"My lord, didn't Zheng Beihou have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor? How could he deal with him again?" Zuo Liangyu obviously didn't understand the reason behind this.

"So what, Li Xin's army is too powerful. The elite soldiers of the imperial court are no match for him at all. There are 10,000+ elite soldiers and horses near the Xuanfu. If we break through the Xuanfu, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance of King Qin. It was captured by Li Xin. The emperor, this is to fear him." Hong Chengchou shook his head and said: "Maybe the emperor will not kill him, but he will definitely check and balance. After all, this country belongs to Daming country."

"Damn, hate, Hong Chengchou is incompetent." Xinuan Pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen received Hong Chengchou's memorial, Li Xin walked through Xifengkou, entered Zunhua City by the way, and occupied Zunhua City, although he didn't know why Li Xin did this , but in the end it is to occupy Zunhua City, and Zunhua City can quickly reach the grassland when it exits the Xifengkou. At that time, will there be a chance to deal with Li Xin?
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is just revenge for Li Xin." Wen Tiren persuaded from the side: "When Hong Chengchou was in Zunhua City, he blocked Li Xin from outside the city. It was originally used to force Li Xin to surrender. If it wasn't for Li Xin After breaking through Zuo Liangyu's camp and gaining some food and grass, I'm afraid Li Xin is already a turtle in the urn. Thinking about Li Xin running across the grassland, he is always invincible. When has he suffered this kind of treatment, so when he went back this time, he played Hong Chengchou ruthlessly One, happened to pass through Xifeng Pass, and stationed in Zunhua City. Li Xin will withdraw his army soon after he arrives." Wen Tiren smiled, but he understood Li Xin, and Li Xin didn't take much advantage this time. , although he showed off his might in the city of Beijing, he lost thousands of soldiers and lost a general. In the future, he almost couldn't even return to Yunzhong. Although he didn't say anything about this loss on the surface, but in his heart I always bear a grudge.He won't get angry at the court for the time being, but Hong Chengchou will always have to teach him a lesson. Whoever makes him weak in battle needs Li Xin to help.

"Hmph, Li Xin is called audacious." Emperor Chongzhen was also very angry.Although Li Xin was teaching Hong Chengchou a lesson, he was also teaching him Emperor Chongzhen.Enter Zunhua, but there is no imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin is just playing with a child's temper, and he can't take it seriously." Wen Tiren said with a smile: "If this Li Xin really has other ideas, I'm afraid Hong Chengchou's nearly [-] soldiers and horses will be in trouble at this time. .”

"Where is Yang Sichang now?" Emperor Chongzhen asked suddenly.

Wen Tiren saw that Emperor Chongzhen didn't continue to ask about Li Xin, but Yang Sichang was involved again. His heart moved, and he didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly said: "According to the itinerary, by this time, we should have arrived in the area of ​​Dongling Mountain."

"It's too slow." Emperor Chongzhen said flatly: "Send someone to tell Yang Sichang immediately, let him speed up and rush to Xuanfu."

"Yes, I'll do it right now." Wen Tiren became even more suspicious in his heart. Emperor Chongzhen didn't aim for nothing!If there was nothing urgent, Emperor Chongzhen would not be so nervous.He suddenly thought of Li Xin, could it be that Emperor Chongzhen was going to use Yang Sichang to deal with Li Xin.

"Also, send someone to tell Li Xin to come to the capital. I am going to agree to him to mint coins, but there are still some issues that need to be discussed." Emperor Chongzhen said suddenly.

"Casting coins?" Wen Tiren was shocked. On the one hand, Chongzhen promised Li Xin that he could mint coins privately. You must know that this is no longer private, but aboveboard. From then on, the coins minted by Li Xin can freely circulate in the market , although there is still a lot of private money in circulation at the moment, but once it is discovered, it is a serious crime of copying the family and exterminating the family. Unlike Li Xin, he has an imperial edict from the court.But Wen Tiren was thinking more at the moment, what kind of plan did Emperor Chongzhen have in order to let go of the right to mint coins.Everyone knows that Chongzhen is strong and strong. Emperor Chongzhen seldom bows his head. At this time, he said such words unless there is a big event about to happen.

"Li Xin said that his military expenditure is insufficient, but the imperial court's coins are often filled by those merchants with private money, and nine out of ten of them are not kept in the hands of the soldiers, so he is going to look for silver mines on the grasslands, and then mint silver coins, or It's gold coins." Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Mr. Wen, are there any silver or gold mines on this grassland?"

"The grassland is a barren land. The herdsmen are poor. There are no silver or gold mines. If there are, there are very few. Otherwise, the grassland heroes over the years would not go south often." Wen Tiren chuckled.Not only Wen Tiren thinks so, but Chongzhen also thinks so. The grassland is a land of barbarians, which is already recognized by the Central Plains people. Where will there be gold and silver treasures?I'm afraid someone has gone over to grab it long ago, and it's Li Xin's turn, which is why Emperor Chongzhen had the guts to let Li Xin make money.You must know that if there is less silver mine, even if coins are minted, and there is no follow-up circulation of silver coins, they will be melted away by those greedy people sooner or later.Chongzhen thought that Li Xin's actions were just a joke.Wen Tiren also thought so.
