Chapter 9 The Ming Dynasty with Foreign Troubles

"Yes." Jiang Yi's complexion changed, but he nodded.But he led a group of prisoners, followed Li Xin, and slowly headed towards Jinzhou.He was a cautious person by nature, so he knew that if Li Xin went to Jinzhou at this moment, there might be something wrong, that's why he did so.

"Brother Jiang, who are you planning to join this time?" Yang Xiong approached Jiang Yi quietly, and said, "I think that Zushuai is quite capable. Why don't you and I join him?"

"You don't need to provoke me. Although the ancestor's birthday is good, but now you and I hate his son and enter his army, how can we have a good fruit for you and me?" Jiang Yi glanced at Yang Xiong disdainfully, and said: "In In Jinzhou, there are many people who are not weaker than Zu Dashou, how can a mere Zu Dashou be able to control the entire Jinzhou?"

"Although that's the case, Zu Dashou is the one who controls the army! The Guanning iron cavalry looks like an army of the imperial court, but in fact it is just the private army of the ancestor's family. If you enter Liaodong, if you don't join the Guanning iron cavalry, you will do it again. What?" Yang Xiong said with some dissatisfaction.

"If the two of you want to join the frontier army, the villain has two people to recommend." At this time, the fat Zhang Yifu appeared around at some point.

"Then tell me who you can go to." Yang Xiong asked curiously.

"One is He Kegang, the deputy general of Jinzhou. This person is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but more importantly, he is upright. If the two of you join his command, it will be enough for the two talents to be brought into play." Zhang Yifu said mysteriously: "But The only bad thing is that this person is Zu Dashou's deputy general."

"Then who is the other person?" Jiang Yi asked calmly.

"That is Qiu Hejia, Governor of Liaodong." Zhang Yifu said with a smile: "Although this man is a civil servant, he is very knowledgeable. Unlike ordinary civil servants, he also has quite a lot of military exploits. It's just that this man is a little pedantic."

"Come on, do you want to persuade the two captors to join Governor Qiu?" Li Xin said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, then Governor Qiu and Zu Dashou may not have a good relationship, but Governor Qiu is a Shangguan According to the rules of my Ming Dynasty, civil servants are in charge of soldiers, and general soldiers should be cautious when they see the magistrate. Not to mention the governor, but this Zu Dashou is different from generals in other places. This place is Liaodong, and the ancestor's family is in This has great strength. The so-called Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is actually the private army of the ancestors. Although Governor Qiu wants to do something, but there is no way to compete with Zu Dashou. You let the two captors go to Governor Qiu , I just want to reuse Yang Xiong and Jiang Yi when Governor Qiu is employing people. Shopkeeper Zhang, that’s what I’m talking about.”

"Young master is still smart." That Zhang Yifu said cautiously: "Actually, there is only one person who is the most powerful in Liaodong, and that is Mr. Sun Chengzong, the supervisor. However, Mr. Sun, because of the needs of the overall situation, sometimes They are all on Zu Dashou's side, after all, although Governor Qiu is an experienced man, he has too few soldiers and horses in his hands. That's why the villain suggested that the two captors should join Governor Qiu."

"Hey, at any time, Daming is still thinking about internal fighting at this time. No wonder he lost his city and territory after being beaten by hundreds of thousands of horses like Hou Jin. Isn't this situation caused by internal fighting?" Seeing this, Li Xin couldn't help He sighed, and said: "If the whole court, civil servants and military generals are all single-minded, why worry about the Ming Dynasty's unrest."

"Hehe. The young master is too ideal." Zhang Yifu walked around, shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "The current court, hehe, you quarrel all day long inside the court. If you don't impeach him today, he will impeach you. The members of the Donglin Party, the Eunuch Party, etc. regard each other as enemies, even among civil servants. They fight each other and are greedy for each other, and they don't care about the interests of the country and the life and death of those poor people. Look at those poor people in Shaanxi, Why do these people rebel? Isn’t it because there is no food? Otherwise, who would rebel!” Zhang Yifu said disdainfully.

"Yes! Daming is facing internal and external troubles, but it's a pity that he is a minister of the sky!" Jiang Yi also said.

"So what if there is a minister who can stand up to the sky?" Yang Xiong said disdainfully: "Our Lord Li is a capable minister, he is a good official! These years in Huai'an to persuade Nong Sang, the Huai'an mansion is governed by good weather. Every family has something to eat. But what about such a good official in the future? Wasn’t he killed by those people? In this court, not only should there be ministers who uphold the sky, but there should be Mingjun is in power. Hehe, is this Mingjun? I heard that Yuan Chonghuan was not a traitor, but why did His Majesty kill him? Or Ling Chi to death?" Yang Xiong said, the expression of anger on his face everyone was shocked It could be seen that everyone's expressions froze, and that Zhang Yifu showed a trace of remorse on his face. Only Li Xin's face was calm, his eyes were absorbed, and he was looking into the distance.It was as if the speeches of the people around him were not taken into consideration at all.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Yi frowned and said: "Who should you and I vote for? I think it's up to you, Young Master. Young Master is well-informed and skilled in martial arts. Listen to Young Master first." Then Yang Xiong Hearing this, he immediately stopped talking, but looked at Li Xin, waiting for Li Xin's answer, especially Gao Meng.

"You said, why no one cherishes such a beautiful country?" Li Xin said softly suddenly: "The country is picturesque, but unfortunately, in Liaodong, the country is broken."

"My lord, you haven't told us yet, who should we vote for?" Yang Xiong waited for a long time, but couldn't help but ask Li Xin's answer.

"Didn't shopkeeper Zhang just say that?" Li Xin said with a light smile, "This Guanning iron cavalry is very powerful, but such a powerful Guanning iron cavalry actually obeys the orders of Zu Dashou, unless the supervisor, Sun Chengzong, personally gives the order Otherwise, Qiu Hejia would not be able to mobilize a single soldier. It can be seen from this that although the Guanning Iron Cavalry is strong, it is the direct line of Zu Dashou who can enter it. Even He Kegang is very bold and has a good relationship with Governor Qiu , but don’t forget, where is he from? Hey, although I don’t know where this He Kegang is from, I can guess that this He Kegang is definitely from Liaodong. Shopkeeper Zhang, is that what I said?”

"What you said is very true. This He Kegang is from Liaodong." Zhang Yifu showed a hint of admiration, and said quickly: "In the apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan used the garrison code to defend the Chinese army from afar, and he was honest and brave. He was an old general of Yuan Chonghuan. The great victory in Ningyuan, because of his meritorious service, he entered the capital Siqian Shu, and his yearly salary is 20. He was praised by the generals in Liaodong, and now he is the deputy general of Jinzhou. What you said is true."

"See! You Yang Butou is good at martial arts, but Jiang Butou has a calm personality and is the talent of a general. If such a person is placed in other places, he is enough to be entrusted with important tasks, but he is not good in Liaodong. No matter how capable you are in Liaodong, as long as you are not from Liaodong, you will not be able to integrate into Liaodong. In the Zu Dashou army, you two will have no bright future."

"What does that son mean, that you want the two of us to join Governor Qiu's subordinates?" Yang Xiong asked impatiently.

"Actually, according to my opinion, the two of you should leave Liaodong, because I think there must be a big war in Liaodong. At that time, if the big war breaks out, I'm afraid our lives will be in danger." Li Xin still persuaded everyone to leave Liaodong.God knows when Houjin will attack Liaodong, but what is certain is that Houjin will definitely go south from here.In other words, within a period of time in the future, a war will break out.Personal bravery is certainly good, but it is impossible in the army.More importantly, he knew that in this era, there were already cannons and muskets, but the muskets at this time were very backward. Not only was it troublesome to load gunpowder, but generally they could only use three-stage shooting, which might be difficult to deal with infantry. It can be done, but it is much worse in dealing with cavalry. This is the reason why the golden cavalry crossed the pass after being outside the pass.So in this era, it still belongs to the era when cold weapons dominate the battlefield.

"That's right. I think there will be a big battle in the near future." Zhang Yifu on the side suddenly nodded and said, "I heard that Governor Sun is planning to build Dalinghe City again. I'm afraid there will be a battle to fight." Zhang Yifu There was a look of joy on his face, but there was no worry at all.

"Da Linghe?" Li Xin always felt that these three words were very familiar, but he couldn't remember them.He couldn't help frowning.

"Yes! Think about it, the Dalinghe City pushed the defense line of our Ming army to the north by hundreds of miles and became an important stronghold for attacking the Eastern Captives. As long as the Dalinghe City is built, our Ming Dynasty can Slowly encroaching on Donglu. Dalinghe City has been built several times before, but every time it was built, it was destroyed by Donglu. This time it is going to be built again, and Donglu is not a fool. How could you just sit back and watch a tiger appear in front of your house, so the two are bound to fight."

Li Xin nodded when he heard the words. He seemed to grasp something in his mind at the moment, but it disappeared in a flash. Yang Xiong on the other side laughed loudly and said disdainfully: "I have a lot of people in Liaodong, and I have gathered tens of thousands of people. People build the city, but it can be completed in a few months. At that time, if the tiger cannon is set up on the top of the city, it may be able to blow up the Donglu, and then there will be another victory in Jinzhou?"

"Hmph, if the opponent comes to attack you suddenly when your construction is normal, then how can you fight? My Ming Dynasty is only good at defense, but I dare not compare with Donglu in terms of offense."

"Then I am building it while guarding it with heavy troops. Presumably the Eastern Prisoners will not dare to attack easily. Tens of thousands of people will build it together, and there are still a few foundations in Dalinghe City. It must be easy to build. When the time comes, rely on the city wall and In a decisive battle with the enemy, Donglu will definitely be defeated." Jiang Yi's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Of course the best way is to attack, and Donglu who fights has no time or opportunity to attack Dalinghe City."
