I'm a big dick

Chapter 303 The situation after the war is different

Prejudice, there will definitely be a little bit, but more people still don't feel at ease.

Zhu Youxiao does not want to pursue those who are not guilty now because of the original historical mistakes.But he is not so magnanimous, and he should try to avoid it if he can avoid it.

Jin Guofeng defended Songshan, and was able to "cry in Shengjing"; He Kegang defended Jinzhou, but was bound and surrendered by Zu Dashou, which is lamentable.

Zhu Youxiao proposed to appoint the two, in addition to historical deeds, there is also an investigation during the study of martial arts.

As for Zu Dashou, the chance of repeating the same mistakes is very small, but in terms of determination and loyalty, he is far behind these two.

The grudge still exists, Zhu Youxiao doesn't deny it, and doesn't think it's a big problem.

Just like Zhang Pan and Kong Youde, Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan, they will always involuntarily treat them differently, although it is difficult to detect.

By the way, Yuan Chonghuan did not reassure the emperor if he was placed in the Ministry of Rites, so he was sent to the local county magistrate.

The arrangements after the great victory in Ningyuan were arranged intensively without any slack. The emperor knows this well.

However, Jiannu suffered another setback, or a disastrous defeat, and the occupied area was a completely different and sad scene.

In Fuzhou, the mansion of Liu Aita, the hereditary commander-in-chief, Jin Yingkui, a student, is reporting to Liu Aita what he has seen and heard in Liaoshen.

"King Khan's Zhengming suffered another setback. Dorobel Degelei and several generals were killed, and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or injured. People walking in the streets were in panic. Far outside the city, between the squares, weeping The sound pierces the sky."

After a pause, Jin Yingkui added: "He Shuobeilemangurtai was hit by artillery and lost a leg. He was seriously injured and dying. It is not known whether he can be saved."

Liu Aita's original name was Liu Xingzuo, and he was also called Liu Hai in Korean literature. He was born in Kaiyuan, Liaodong. When he was young, he was plundered and sold to the Jianzhou Department of Jurchen as a slave.

By chance, Nurhachi met Liu Xingzuo and found that he was not only smart and understanding, but also quite talented.

The old slave appreciated Liu Xingzuo very much, so he changed his name to Aita, granted him an official position, and assigned him to Zhenghongqi of Dabeile Daishan.

In order to repay his kindness, Liu Aita participated in the battle of Liaoshen. Fuzhou, Haizhou, and Gaizhou are the four guards in southern Liaoning.

Now, Liu Aita is not only the third most important figure among Han officials, second only to Tong Yangxing, son-in-law of Shiwuli, and Li Yongfang, son-in-law of Fuxi.He also married the daughter of Daishan's son Sahalian's wet nurse, and was related to the old slave by marriage.

However, Liu Aita, who has such a status and identity, heard Jin Yingkui's narration, but she was not very distressed or concerned. On the contrary, she still had a lazy expression, and asked casually: "I didn't expect that King Khan's personal conquest would cause such heavy losses. .”

Jin Yingkui pondered for a while, and said: "Jinzhou has completely fallen, and the two red flags of Dabeile are also quite damaged. Sahalian fought against the Ming army and failed to win."

Liu Aita raised her eyebrows, and said with a wry smile, "Can't even defeat the Ming army in a field battle?"

Jin Yingkui bowed his head and said nothing, and the room fell into an unbearable silence.

Jin Yingkui was aware of Liu Aita's emotional changes.It should be after Liu Aita intercepted more than two thousand Liao people who tried to flee to the island, but these Liao people were brutally massacred by Nurhachi, right?
After a long while, Liu Aita said quietly: "Since the Ming army took control of Luda, thousands of Liao people have fled. Even if the floating board crosses the sea, it is extremely dangerous, and they don't care about it."

Jin Yingkui looked up at Liu Aita, not quite sure what he meant.

"Fortunately, the Ming army sent ships to patrol the coast, and they rescued many people." Liu Aita also glanced at Jin Yingkui, and said indifferently: "The Ming army has the advantage of being a naval division, and based on Jinzhou, the recovery The three guards, Hai and Gai, are not easy to defend!"

Jin Yingkui nodded, and said: "The situation is indeed getting worse, especially the food and grass materials. This time the mobilization costs a lot. When there is no supply, I am afraid that some people will starve."

It can only be the Liao people who are starving, or the Jurchens?
Liu Aita lowered her eyes and did not speak.After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Jin, step back first!"

Jin Yingkui got up to salute, and retreated suspiciously.

The room fell silent, and Liu Aita couldn't help but let out a long sigh, stroked her forehead, and fell into the battle between heaven and man and the balance of pros and cons.

The turbulence finally stopped, and as the cabin door was opened, the mild sunlight came in, but it was so bright that Zhao Huaiyi and the others couldn't open their eyes.

At the foot of Ningyuan City, Zhao Huaiyi killed a high-ranking slave-building official, and then lay motionless in the pit like a dead dog when he almost collapsed.

When Jiannu was defeated and retreated, he was regarded as a dead man; when the Ming army went out to pursue him, they also regarded him as dead.When the battlefield was thoroughly cleaned, it was discovered that Zhao Huaiyi was still alive.

But like him, there are dozens of people who pretended to be dead in the hail of bullets.In addition, those who were injured and did not escape became prisoners of the Ming army.

After a rigorous interrogation and screening, Zhao Huaiyi, Bao Yi, and Han Bing finally received preferential treatment.They were not killed, and there was no shortage of food and drink.But only two days later, they were put on two sea ships and sailed to an unknown place.

Didn't he escort the capital to offer prisoners, and then be beheaded?Including Zhao Huaiyi, everyone's hearts hung again.

In the torment of apprehension, the boat finally stopped, and after they adapted to the mild sunshine for a short time, they finally set foot on land.

This is——Zhao Huaiyi squinted his eyes and found that this place was a seaport.There are many ships, there are soldiers on the pier, and there are common people, but the accent is the same Liao people.

"Are these people?" Following a question, Zhao Huaiyi saw an officer approaching, with a chubby face and a smile on his face, very kind.

The escorted officer bowed and saluted, and replied: "My lord, these are all Liao people originally from southern Liaoning, either Baoyi or Han soldiers, who were coerced by Jiannu to attack Ningyuan."

Yang Jie nodded, his smiling face made people feel friendly, he looked at each of them one by one, and then turned his head to explain to the junior officer.

"They are all the people of Ming Dynasty, and they are threatened by slaves to attack Ningyuan. You don't have to be afraid." Yang Jie smiled at the prisoners: "Let's go with me, and stay here with peace of mind."

A dozen or so accompanying soldiers stepped forward, half-pressing and half-watching, leading the prisoners away from the pier.

Although it is not very supportive yet, it seems that life is safe, and these people are a little relieved.

Yang Jie followed unhurriedly, thinking about the emperor's secret performance in his mind.

Instigating rebellion and rescuing the Liao people in the slave-ruled area is one of the key tasks this year.

And these captives were distributed according to the region, some of them stayed in Luda for training; the other part was transferred to Phi Island, and they would also serve as espionage eyeliners to infiltrate the Houjin-occupied area.

Jiannu suffered repeated setbacks and was besieged and blocked. The lack of supplies is certain.The Liao people in the occupied area were already in slavery and oppression, coupled with hunger and cold, it was predictable that they would rebel and escape.

In Yang Jie's opinion, this job of instigating rebellion is not difficult, but another top-secret job makes him not very optimistic.

The so-called top secret is something only the emperor and him know.Perhaps Gou Zhenhuai would also have some news, but in the secret memorial, the emperor warned him not to let a third person know.

Once there is news, it must be reported directly to the emperor.This not only crossed Dongjiang Town, but also surpassed Yuan Keli, the governor of Dongjiang who controlled Dongjiang.

Such an arrangement is obviously extraordinary, and it is conceivable that the emperor had great expectations for it.

Yang Jie thought hard about this, and the only conclusion he came to was that the emperor had another spy.Moreover, this spy spy should be lurking in Houjin, and the level is not low.

Jiannu is definitely not there, the rank of Han officials is relatively high - Yang Jie can't think of it.But he thinks there is no problem with conjecture, otherwise it cannot be explained.

In fact, this was not an idea he just had.Before the Guangning war, he and many Jinyiwei were sent out, thinking that the emperor had other intelligence channels besides the Zhenfusi.It's just that I didn't think so deeply.

"Master Yang." A greeting interrupted Yang Jie's thoughts, and when he looked up, it was Kong Youde.

Yang Jie had a smile on his face again, cupped his hands and said, "General Kong, it's rare!"

Kong Youde was a little afraid from the bottom of his heart about this fat smiling man. When Dongjiang Town was first built, this fat smiling man took on the job of espionage and reconnaissance.

Jiannu who was once caught alive was interrogated. It is said that he did it himself and peeled off half of Jiannu's skin. The scream——

What was even more frightening was that when Yang Jie presented his statement in a blink of an eye, he was smiling as if nothing had happened.

Mao Wenlong had reminded his trusted generals in private, don't provoke Yang Jie, that's Yan Luo's imperial order.

Kong Youde quite agrees with this, if you have a cold face and a violent temper, it is also a combination of words and deeds; but this smiling face is not something a rough man like him can provoke.

It was a coincidence that day, I walked across the street.Kong Youde gritted his teeth and said hello, but also worried about the lack of etiquette, so don't let Yang Jie bear the grudge.

"Here, go to Lushun Fort to collect military supplies." Kong Youde said: "Master Yang, this is—"

Yang Jie chuckled, and said, "A few official duties are not worth mentioning. General Kong please go ahead, don't delay."

Kong Youde hastily cupped his hands to say goodbye, and after walking a certain distance, he rolled his eyes and let out a long breath.

……………… Divider line………………….
The lively carnival of the Shangyuan Festival has just passed, as if you have to take care after a long holiday, the festive atmosphere in the capital has not completely dissipated, and people's smiles are more than usual.

Bi Ziyan had entered Beijing by order two days ago, but after reporting, the emperor did not summon him immediately.The imperial decree didn't rush too much, Bi Ziyan thought he came too fast, so he stayed in the post house and waited patiently.

For the festival, Bi Zisu knew his elder brother, who was granted a mansion by the emperor in the capital, came to Beijing, and invited him to his home to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival together.

In just two days, Bi Ziyan already knew more about the court situation that he didn't know in Tianjin.

Although the brother Bi Zisu is rigorous and staunch, when talking with his elder brother, he still revealed a little bit of the work focus of the Metropolitan Procuratorate this year.As Bi Ziyan expected, the emperor really wanted to attack officials and businessmen.

It is not very accurate to say what to do, according to the emperor, it is rectification, or purge.If you want to be an official, don't do business, and if you want to make money, don't be an official.

Just like clearing up arrears and clearing payment, the emperor will soon issue an imperial decree to allow officials and businessmen to make choices within four months.Either resign from office, or draw a line with business.

In Bi Ziyan's view, basically no one will choose to resign from office.Without an official position, he is still the same as ordinary people. Which official would bear such a gap?

But to draw a line with business, for some officials who are deeply involved, it is not only their own business, but also their family, relatives, and friends. I am afraid it is not so easy and simple.

In particular, the dignitaries and officials in Beijing are almost all involved in business.Who doesn't have a few shops in Beijing, and who doesn't have white gloves for running around in business?

"The admiral of the nine gates will be replaced by Cao Huachun, the imperial horse inspector, and the commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses will be replaced by Lu Xiangsheng, a new Jinshi who has returned to Beijing after observing the government." Bi Zisu mentioned the appointment of the emperor years ago, but did not go into details.

The Admiral of the Nine Gates was established in the Qing Dynasty, and was called the Admiral of the Nine Gates in the Ming Dynasty.At the beginning, he was mainly responsible for guarding the palace, and then began to guard the gate of the capital, usually by a loyal and high-status eunuch.

The Wucheng Bingma Division is equivalent to the Public Security Bureau of later generations, responsible for patrolling and arresting thieves in the capital, clearing streets, ditches, prisoners, and fire bans.There should be one commander, six grades; four assistant conductors, seven grades.

As soon as Bi Ziyan heard it, he understood that the emperor had already controlled the capital camp, and he also firmly held the defense and security of the capital in his hands. He either wanted to attack the powerful and honored relatives, or he wanted to prevent them from doing things.

He just nodded when he understood, and Bi Ziyan didn't ask too many questions to embarrass his brother.It is extremely rare to be able to reveal this to him, and it is suspected of revealing the holy will.

Cracking down on officials and businessmen is obviously also good for the Imperial Bank he is about to take over.Many powerful officials do not do business directly, but buy shares or lend money to businessmen.

Cutting off this road is just beneficial to the development of the Imperial Bank's loan business.

Moreover, in terms of loan interest rates, the Imperial Bank is obviously lower than personal and private lending, and its competitiveness is still very strong.

"Long live, work hard, be wise and powerful, and have the style of a wise king." Bi Ziyan pondered, and said slowly: "As a brother and a supervisor and servant, I know that the war in Liaodong cost a lot. If there is no strategy to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the national finances will be in danger. It's in danger of collapsing."

Bi Zisu nodded, and said: "Brother is good at managing money, has financial ability, and his judgment is correct. But a certain one only cares about impeachment and investigation of officials who violate the law, and for the sake of longevity, discipline and rectification of officials."

Knowing his brother's temper, Bi Ziyan was serious and responsible in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he would definitely offend many officials and dignitaries.But it is duty-bound to be diligent in the affairs of the king.

And Bi Zisu served as the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and was called the "Qiqing" together with the six ministers, which was really a rocket-like promotion.With such a kindness of knowledge and encounter, how could he not devote himself to repaying his long live?

While talking, someone from outside came to report, and the palace sent someone to summon Bi Ziyan to the Qianqing Palace to have an audience.

Bi Ziyan didn't dare to be negligent, quickly arranged his clothes and appearance, and followed the palace people to see Long Live.
