Chapter 143
Dou Chengwu's worries were not unreasonable. Following the news that Ye Xun had lent food to the Horqin tribe, the Mongolian tribes that were closer to Liaodong were also moved by the news, and began to flock to Shenyang to find food.

Ye Xun still played the same way in Tieling, and he would not refuse any Mongolian tribe who came to borrow food, but the conditions were equally harsh. Either the head of the Jianzhou Jurchen, or stay in Shenyang to work, trying to fool the food away?There are no doors!
There were no Mongolian tribes who wanted to make trouble. Altan personally led the team, and directly chopped off the heads of those individual Mongolians who did not obey the discipline, and even some individual Mongolians who robbed their homes.

After hanging a string of Mongolian heads on the top of Shenyang City, those Mongolian tribes who tried to get something for nothing finally subsided, obediently obeying the arrangement of the Shenyang government, and doing whatever they were asked to do.

Spring plowing has already begun, and there are many places that need labor to strengthen the city walls, repair streets, and so on.

The food purchased by Hu Jiucheng has arrived one after another, and Wanli's 100 million taels of silver is already on the way, so although Ye Xun dare not say that he is rich and powerful now, he will not be short of money and food in a short time.

But of course Ye Xun can't wait to sit and eat. With the increase of the army, the future military expenditure will also be astronomical, so it is necessary to plan ahead.

Fortunately, many Mongolian tribes who came to borrow food were quite sensible, and they did not come empty-handed. All kinds of fur and herbs were drawn to Ye Xun. In the future, these things will be transported to the capital, and they will get a lot of money. income, and this is not a way to get money.

For some reason, Wang Dengku's figure popped out of Ye Xun's head again. He remembered that later it was the eight imperial merchants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Only one family was knocked down now, and there are seven more. The wealth of these traitors is not clear.

But the remaining seven families are all in Shanxi, which is already out of the jurisdiction of Liaodong. It is impossible to copy their houses, otherwise it will only make other corrupt officials cheaper.

It seems that you have to find someone who knows everything about this matter, eh!You can ask Hu Jiucheng, this guy should know a lot about Shanxi.

Ye Xun was thinking about how to count those traitors who funded the construction of the state, when suddenly a guard came to report, and a middle-aged man surnamed Li came from outside the government office, saying that there was something important to report to Ye Gonggong in person.

Surnamed Li?
Hearing this surname, Ye Xun's heart skipped a beat for no reason. He did a lot of harm to Li Chengliang's descendants, so when he heard that the person who came to look for him was surnamed Li, his heart inevitably fluctuated a little.

Ask the guards to bring the visitor in, but he looks like a servant, and there is no evidence of skill on his body.

After the visitor came in, he knelt down to Ye Xun, kowtowed and said, "Little man Li Er, see Eunuch Ye."

"Who are you? What's the matter with me?"

There are so many people who come to see Ye Xun every day, he doesn't have time to meet them one by one. Today is the fate of this person, and it just so happens that Ye Xun has time.

Li Er looked around, hesitant to speak.

Ye Xun frowned, and said, "It's okay to speak up if you have anything to say, these are my brothers, and I won't spread your words."

Li Er gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "Eunuch, forgive me, the villain came to see Eunuch on the order of General Li Yongfang."

Li Yongfang?
Hearing this name, Ye Xun couldn't help being startled. There were two traitors at the beginning of the founding of the late Jin Dynasty, one was Li Yongfang, and the other was Tong Yangxing. Jurchen, so it is a bit inappropriate to label him a traitor.

Why did Li Yongfang send someone to find him?Could it be that he wants to surrender?This guy seems to have used this trick to fool Wang Huazhen in history, right?

Countless questions came to Ye Xun's mind, and this matter really shouldn't be known to too many people, so he waved his hands and ordered him to step back, and said in a deep voice, "What does Li Yongfang want you to do?"

"My general is well aware of the serious crimes, so he wants to dedicate Fushun Pass, make up for his mistakes, and hope that his father-in-law will complete it."

Then Li Er told Ye Xun completely about Li Yongfang's thoughts, and then sent Li Yongfang's personal letter.

Ye Xun took the letter but didn't read it right away, because he didn't know Li Yongfang's handwriting at all, so it was useless to read it.

He ordered Li Er to stand up, and Ye Xun sat on the chair, but he didn't speak for a long time. Strictly speaking, Li Yongfang's idea was really sinister, and it could be said to be a kind of counter-intentional trick, but this kind of trick was used on Xiong Tingbi. It may work, but it is a bit inappropriate to use it on a person like Ye Xun who wears a eunuch's coat, not to mention that Ye Xun has just defeated Nurhachi's invasion, even if the mindless imperial officials in the court are biting at random, Wanli would definitely not believe it.

But Ye Xun felt that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to confuse Huang Taiji.

In fact, it’s not just Fushun Pass. In Li Chengliang’s era, six earth fortresses including Kuandian were given to Nurhachi by Li Chengliang. Some people in later generations said that Li Chengliang did this to reduce casualties, and I don’t know the brick family who gave this explanation. What do you think, no matter how vast the country is, is there one place that is redundant?

Without Kuandian and other places, the Ming army would have lost its strategic depth. Therefore, in Ye Xun's mind, Fushun Pass is not the most important thing. Getting back the six earth fortresses centered on Kuandian is what he wants most. .

But Ye Xun estimated that Li Yongfang might not be able to do this, because Nurhachi also knew the importance of Kuandian and other places.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said: "General Li has such a heart, our family will play His Majesty for him, but Fushun Pass does not need him to come forward, our family has more important things to do for him, if he can do it If it is completed, it can reach ten pass cities."

"Eunuch Ye please command"

"Instigate the relationship between Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai until the two of them are in conflict"

In fact, everyone knows that Mang Gurtai has always been at odds with Huang Taiji, but because of the suppression of Nurhachi above, this situation has always been relatively obscure, and what Ye Xun needs Li Yongfang to do is to make this relationship between their brothers This contradiction is brought to light.

A Jurchen with constant internal strife is in the best interests of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, there are various Ming armies here who continue to bleed the Jianzhou Jurchen. I believe that it will not be long before Hou Jin, a seemingly strong ant, will be killed by Ye Xun. Step on it completely.

After all, Li Er is a servant, and he seems to understand Ye Xun's words, but he is Li Yongfang's most loyal family member. After receiving Ye Xun's instructions, he left directly.

Ye Xun pondered for a moment, and ordered the guards to send a scribe, and then he dictated, and the scribe wrote a memorial to Emperor Wanli.

The so-called desire to harm others is common, and the desire to guard against others is even more indispensable.

In the memorial, Ye Xun directly reported to Wanli the countermeasures that Huang Taiji was going to use, so he suggested that Wanli, once someone makes a fuss about this matter, send this person to the front line to let him experience what a real war is Sample.

Before Ye Xun finished writing the memorial, a guard came to report that the new Liaodong Administrator, Yuan Yingtai, had arrived in Liaodong, and ordered Ye Xun to go to see him immediately.

After hearing this report, Ye Xun couldn't help but patted his head. He had just moved to Shenyang, one thing after another, and he even forgot about Mr. Yuan
