Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 97 Destined to go to Liaodong
(PS: The second update today, the first update will be delivered.)
The Royal Academy of Sciences of Ming Dynasty, which Young Master Zhang looks forward to a lot.Relying on the help of godfather Wei Zhongxian and godmother and nanny, the final decision was finally fulfilled, but the situation of the Liaodong war made young master Zhang always frown.According to the latest military report, Young Master Zhang, this big moth from the 21st century, seems to have far less impact on Liaodong's military situation than expected. Except that the date of Sun Chengzong's resignation was a little earlier, the others are basically nothing. Second—Sun Chengzong’s attitude of resignation was abnormal. Zu Dashou’s family army fled back to Juehua Island. Mao Wenlong, who was relatively weak, continued to stand still on Phi Island. Ma Shilong’s defeated army regained a foothold in Jinzhou. On the first line, that is to say, if Gao Di hastily withdraws the Jinzhou garrison after taking office, as in history, and loses the city, abandons food and loses the hearts of the people, then the huge amount of money spent by the Tianqi Dynasty in Liaodong for several years will be in vain. Sun Chengzong's experience in Liaodong The great painstaking efforts that have been made at the time will also go to waste.

"Do you want to remind Gaudi again? Tell him not to make historical mistakes?" Young Master Zhang scratched his hair and thought about it, but finally gave up on this plan—before the miniature bullets and rifled guns were produced. Well, Young Master Zhang doesn't want to take the current primitive firearms to fight against Jian Nu, after all, the life of Young Master Zhang who has been passed down for ten generations is very precious.But what Young Master Zhang didn't know was that an invisible black hand or the hand of fate was pushing and pulling him towards Liaodong intentionally or unintentionally, and one of the black hands that had already stretched out had actually quietly enveloped him. On Young Master Zhang's pitiful little head, it's just that Young Master Zhang doesn't know yet...

The time moved forward, the location changed, and the time went back to late August, when the news of Sun Chengzong's resignation had just spread throughout Liaodong. The location came to Aixinjue, the eighth son of Nurhachi and one of the four great Baylors who built slaves in Shenyang City, Liaodong. In Luo Huang Taiji's mansion, when he first heard the news, Huang Taiji, who was drinking and enjoying the dance with his 12-year-old wife Da Yuer, was both surprised and happy. He even doubted the authenticity of the news, so he rushed to report the news excitedly Several confidants, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, and Bao Chengxian yelled: "Have you checked clearly? Sun Chengzong Barbarian really resigned? Sun Manzi is the teacher of Emperor Manzi. Even Wei Zhongxian, the barbarian eunuch, dare not touch him. Why is he like this?" Resign obediently?"

"Master, please don't worry, this slave has already sent people to investigate repeatedly. It is absolutely true that Sun Manzi has resigned." Fan Wencheng said flatteringly: "The slave also found out that the reason why Sun Chengzong Manzi submitted his resignation was because of his own hand. In the defeat of the promoted Ma Shilong in Liuhe, the so-called Qingliu censors in the Manzi court accused him of employing people improperly and underestimating the enemy. He has always been at odds, and he wanted to resign for a long time, so Sun Manzi handed in his resignation in a fit of anger, with a very firm attitude, it seems that this time he is set."

"Sun Manzi employs people improperly? Blackmailing the people?" Huang Taiji laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, if Sun Manzi employs people improperly and is unpopular in Liaodong, our Dajin army will not dare to cross the Liuhe River for three years! Manzi court Going to those sour Confucian officials really helped us Dajin! God help Dajin, God help me Dajin!"

"This is due to God's blessing of gold, Da Khan and Baylor's blessings are equal to the sky, long live Da Khan! Heshuo Baylor is a thousand years old!" Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and Bao Chengxian three slaves knelt down together and said in unison The libretto Jinhe.At the end, Fan Wencheng said impatiently: "Master, Sun Manzi resigned, and the Manzi emperor will definitely change his commander. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Manzi army's change of commander, I, Da Jin, should immediately send troops westward and conquer Ningjin. , break through the Shanhai Pass, go straight to the barbarian capital, and the Central Plains War will be settled!"

"Mr. Fan, you have made an old mistake again. Although your master, I am more anxious to enter the Central Plains than you, but you have to eat every bite, and you have to fight every battle. Is it as easy as you said?" Huang Taiji shook his head calmly. , pondered: "Although Sun Manzi has resigned, he still has an army of [-] in Liaodong, and Pidao Mao Wenlong and North Korea contain our Dajin rear. It is not so easy to break through the Shanhaiguan Pass. The point is, who will the barbarian court replace as the new coach? If there is a new coach who is as good at defending as Sun Chengzong and as good at fighting as Xiong Tingbi, we may not be able to occupy it. What a bargain."

"Master, please rest assured that the Manzi court is corrupt and the officials are incompetent. There is no third capable person like Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong in the Manzi court." Bao Chengxian said confidently: "Even if there are such people, the Manzi court will never be able to find another one." The emperor and the old eunuch Wei will not use it, and those eunuch officials who are jealous of their talents and pedantic and incompetent Donglin Party members will not let them go, they will only try their best to squeeze out the critics, and will not let him have a chance to stand out."

"Master Belle, I think Mr. Bao is right." Huang Taiji's only 12-year-old side Fujin Dayuer said coquettishly: "When I was still in the Mongolian grasslands of Horqin, I often heard people say that the civil servants of barbarians If a military general wants to be promoted, he has to flatter his superiors and offer bribes and gifts. Otherwise, let alone promotion, whether he can keep his position is a big problem. Think about it, Lord Baylor, such a barbarian who got promoted by flattering and giving money Officials and generals, can they be the opponents of our Eight Banners Cavalry?"

"That's right, that's right, what Ce Fujin said is so right! The officials feel the same way!" Fan Wencheng nodded in agreement with Dayuer, and then said through gritted teeth: "For example, that barbarian Zhang Haogu, who has no ability at all, only knows how to do it." Giving bribes, giving gifts, flattering, worshiping eunuchs as godfathers, and finally becoming the imperial envoy of the Manzi court! Master, think about it, the Manzi court can reuse even a shameless villain like Zhang Haogu, what kind of decent Liaodong court can it come up with? Commander-in-Chief?"

"Hehehehe..." Huang Taiji, Da Yuer, Bao Chengxian, and Ning Wan and I laughed together, and Da Yuer smiled coquettishly: "Mr. Fan, it seems that you have more than ordinary hatred for that little barbarian Zhang Haogu. , I can hear you mentioning this little savage's name almost every day—every time I mention it, I almost crush my teeth!" Da Yuer's words made everyone laugh again, while Fan Wencheng blushed, The hatred for Young Master Zhang inevitably deepened in his heart.

"Mr. Fan, don't worry, I will avenge you when we capture Zhang Haogu in the Central Plains, and I will avenge you! I will also avenge Ben Baylor's money!" After laughing, Huang Taiji began to comfort Fan Wencheng.Fan Wencheng thanked him first, then gritted his teeth and said: "It's a pity that Zhang Haogu's little savage dog didn't come to serve in Liaodong. Otherwise, it would be even better to tear him into pieces on the battlefield!"

"Master Fan, don't worry, this is not impossible." Ning Wan and I stood up to comfort Fan Wencheng and said, "Master Fan, don't forget the barbarian Yuan Chonghuan. A letter of recommendation from the barbarian censor Hou Xun became the post of the Shanhai Supervising Army in Liaodong. Zhang Haogu, like Yuan Chonghuan, was born in the imperial examination, and was highly valued by Wei Zhongxian. This time Liaodong changed his commander, Wei Zhongxian might choose him. My confidants have also been sent to Liaodong to supervise the army."

"May God bless him to come!" Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and said again. At the end, Fan Wencheng suddenly had an idea, slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! Master, we can get that Haogu and that little barbarian dog. Come to Liaodong! As long as he comes, we can not only execute him in the mausoleum, but also bring a large army of barbarians to bury him with him!"

"Mr. Fan, please be more specific." Huang Taiji replied casually.Fan Wencheng said happily: "Master, do you still remember the story of Zhao Kuo's war on paper? Qin Jun and Zhao Jun confronted each other in Changping. Qin Jun tried his best but could not defeat the old and prudent Lian Po. In order to win, King Qin Zhao sent People went to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, to spread rumors, saying that Lian Po was incompetent, and that only Zhao Kuo could defeat the Qin army. King Zhao Xiaocheng really fell for it, and replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo, who only knew how to talk about war on paper. As a result, Zhao Guo lost 40 yuan at once Big army! Master, think about it, if we also go to Beijing to spread such rumors, saying that Zhang Haogu is the only one in our Dajin army, and once the Manzi Emperor and Wei Zhongxian fall into the trap, we will surely kill that flattering Zhang The Haogu little barbarian dog was sent to Liaodong, and he was entrusted with important tasks! At that time, the army and the city controlled by that little barbarian Zhang Haogu will still be the food and pockets of our Dajin army?"

"This is a clever plan that kills two birds with one stone, but Zhang Haogu has never been on the battlefield, how can we convince Emperor Manzi and Wei Zhongxian that he can entrust him with important tasks?" Huang Taiji asked thoughtfully.Fan Wencheng smiled ferociously, and replied: "Master, this is too simple. Master can let us spread rumors in Manzi's capital, saying that on the first night of Da Khan's sacrifice to heaven in Shenyang this year, he dreamed of a man named Zhang Haogu. The barbarians set fire to the Dazheng Hall of our imperial palace, so the Great Khan decreed that in the future, any Han barbarians named Zhang Haogu who were caught would be executed immediately! A little savage dog was sent to Liaodong to assign important tasks! And our Dajin army can take advantage of the opportunity to strike!"

Huang Taiji was considered a very courageous Jiannu, he was tempted by Fan Wencheng's words, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Okay, I will leave this matter to Mr. Fan, so that Zhang Haogu's never-ending Let the little barbarian dog who has been on him gain some face first, and let him lead as many barbarian troops in Liaodong as possible!"

"Tie!" Fan Wencheng happily agreed.Of course, both Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng regretted their decision later, Nuerhachi was so angry that he almost tore Fan Wencheng into pieces, and Duoduo was so angry that he snatched Fan Wencheng away in advance. Lan Jingling, the beautiful little wife of the old man, pressed Fan Wencheng on the bed and put a big green hat on Fan Wencheng—because the young master Zhang Haogu Zhang recruited by Fan Wencheng was not only not the Zhao Kuo and Ma Di he expected, but It's a super freak with Zhang Yi's tongue, poisonous snake teeth, fox mind, city management face, jackal heart, zombie claws, and more evil luck than Huang Daxian...

…………

The time went back to the third day when Young Master Zhang returned to Beijing, and the location also returned to Beijing, the capital of Ming Dynasty.On the morning of the same day, Young Master Zhang participated in the early court again and accepted the meritorious service reward from the trip to the south of the Yangtze River. As a result, after careful consideration, Wei Zhongxian awarded Young Master Zhang a fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of War and the title of Xiaoqi Lieutenant. The young master is still concurrently serving as the editor of the Imperial Academy, and the editor of the "Three Dynasties Code", rewarding 500 taels of silver, [-] acres of fertile land in Zhili, a pair of gold beads, and a jade belt.Faced with such a reward, the court officials naturally talked a lot. It was very strange why Wei Zhongxian didn't take the opportunity to reward Young Master Zhang with a real job, but Young Master Zhang himself secretly called it bad—it goes without saying that Lieutenant Xiao Qi is a fifth-rank military officer. The Minister of the Ministry of War is even the substitute of the Minister of the Ministry of War, which means that Wei Zhongxian has already moved his mind to turn Young Master Zhang to a military position.

"I thank the emperor for the grace of God, but I am really ashamed to take this position." Guessing Wei Zhongxian's thoughts, Young Master Zhang hurriedly resigned humbly, kowtowed and said: "I dare not lie to the emperor, this time I am going to Jiangnan, In fact, there is no credit. The people who really contributed are the East Factory Superintendent who went with Weichen to help the Song, Jin and Song father-in-law, as well as Wei Liangqing, Fu Yingxing, Xiao Chuan, and Chen Jianhuang. Weichen was just an errand. Meritorious service. I dare not be rewarded for nothing, so I ask the emperor to share the credit with Eunuch Song and Lord Wei to show that rewards and punishments are clear."

"Zhang Haogu, you don't need to be modest." Wei Zhongxian saw the sinister intentions of young master Zhang at a glance, and said with a smile: "Song Jin and the others have made great contributions to the relief, of course the imperial court will reward you, but your contribution, the imperial court cannot erase it. It is the emperor's imperial decree to promote you to the third level, do you want to resist the decree?" Ming Xizong also said with a smile that Young Master Zhang does not need to be modest, the rewards and punishments have been fixed, and he cannot refuse.Young Master Zhang had no choice but to kowtow to thank him again, and accepted the congratulations from his colleagues sullenly.

A few more state affairs were negotiated, and Ming Xizong, who was in a hurry to go back to make a new spinning machine, was about to announce the disbandment of the dynasty, when Yang Suoxiu, the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, suddenly came out, cupped his hands and said: "My Majesty, my minister was here the day before yesterday. In the marketplace, I happened to hear a rumor about Liaodong, which is very novel and coincides with the political affairs of our dynasty, so I would like to report it to Your Majesty, please read it for details."

"A rumor about Liaodong? Let's hear it." Zhu Youxiao was a little curious.Yang Suoxiu replied respectfully: "There are rumors that after Nurhachi established the puppet capital in Shenyang, he held a ceremony to worship heaven, and on the first night of worshiping heaven, Nurhachi suddenly dreamed of a The officials of the Ming Dynasty led an army into Shenyang, the puppet capital, and set fire to the Dazheng Palace, the palace of the slaves. So after waking up, Nurhachi immediately ordered that any Han people with the same name and surname as the official be caught, be executed immediately, and all the families will be wiped out! As for the Liaodong area, people with the same name and surname as this Ming official were all slaughtered!"

"Jiannu Nu'erhachi dreamed that an official of my Ming Dynasty broke through the puppet capital Shenyang and set fire to the Jiannu Palace—this is a dream of great auspiciousness!" Zhu Youxiao exclaimed in surprise.Wei Zhongxian, who is extremely superstitious about ghosts and gods, also had his eyes lit up, and hurriedly asked, "Master Yang, what is the name of that Ming official in Nuerhachi's dream?"

"Nu'erhachi has such a dream? Is it true or not?" Young Master Zhang was also a little puzzled, but what Yang Suoxiu said next made Young Master Zhang almost sit down on the Golden Temple——Yang Suoxiu said every word Said: "The man in the dream of Nuerhachi, the chieftain of the slaves and bandits, is exactly me looking for flowers in Xinke, Zhang—good—Gu!"

"Zhang Haogu?" The eyes of Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian, and the new Gaodi Gaodi, who had been grimacing these days, all lit up.And Young Master Zhang immediately screamed like a slaughtered pig, "Me? Master Chen, we brothers have had no grievances in the past and have no grievances in recent days. How can you say it's me? How can I, a powerless literati, lead the The army entered Shenyang? Burned the Dazheng Palace? What are you kidding?"

"Tanhualang, I'm definitely not joking." Yang Suoxiu, who really had no grievances with Young Master Zhang, shook his head and replied seriously: "When I heard this rumor the day before yesterday, I really suspected it was a game. So I didn't play it immediately, and I quickly forgot it afterwards. I never thought that today the imperial court bestowed Tanhualang as the military officer of Xiaoqiwei, and I suddenly remembered it. I felt that there must be God's will, so I went to heaven listen."

"Could it be God's will?" Ming Xizong, Wei Zhongxian, Gao Di and the others all had bright eyes, staring at Young Master Zhang until Young Master Zhang felt hairy.Frightened, Young Master Zhang hurriedly yelled: "Master Yang, wait a minute, why haven't I heard of the rumor you mentioned? There is also Dongchang under the control of Eunuch Wei and the Zhenfu Division under the control of Mr. Tian. Have you heard such rumors?"
