Knowing that the Li family had indeed obtained the heads of dozens of Buddhist slaves and Tatars, and was able to contact those heroes, the old lady chanted Buddha's name repeatedly.
Her fifteen-year-old daughter Geng Yueru was very curious and asked:
"Brother, what kind of hero is he? Why can't I kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds with hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty? Instead, I go to look for that strong man outside the pass?"
Geng Zhangguang and Geng Zhanghua both liked their youngest sibling, and when they saw her raising questions, they both smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Geng Zhangguang let out a long sigh and said: "The world is declining. The Ming Dynasty has become decayed early. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and will have no fighting spirit. After the establishment of slaves, the situation is like a broken bamboo. The land of Ming Dynasty's capital is regarded as a deserted land!"
The old lady quickly reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! Always remember that trouble comes from your mouth. Your father offended many people just because he was outspoken, and he ended up in such trouble!"
Geng Yueru said: "Dad is a dignified governor. Why don't he have any strong generals who can fight Jiannu and Tatars? Why don't you try your best to invite strong men who can fight to lead the army?"
Geng Zhanghua said: "If I could predict that my father would be involved in such a disaster, I would have to find a good general for my father even if I begged him on my knees!"
The old lady said: "Such hindsight is useless. The top priority is to find that hero and get the heads of dozens of Buddhist slaves and Tatars!
With the head, not only can your father be freed from crime, but you can also be rewarded by the court. "
Geng Zhangguang said: "The Li family has quickly sent people out to leave secret messages, but no one can say whether or when they will be contacted!"
"Alas!" The old woman sighed and said, "The chief assistant, Mr. Han Ge, was implicated by Yuan Chonghuan and asked to resign. Otherwise, with Mr. Han Ge here, how could he be put in jail and questioned."
Geng Yueru asked innocently: "Mr. Cao, the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu, is my father's advisor. I used to take advantage of my father's filial piety. Why didn't he excuse me for my father?"
"Yes, in the past, my father would pay a lot of filial piety to Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Cheng Ge. How come these adults are not willing to help?" Geng Zhanghua asked with a look of dissatisfaction.
Listening to the complaints of her children, what can the old lady say? Only long sighs.
The world is declining, and Geng Yueru, who is smart and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, is the most favored by his parents.
In addition, she is as beautiful as a flower. In recent years, she has almost crossed the threshold for marriage proposals. Geng Ruchi and his wife declined because their daughter was still young.
Since Geng Ruqi's incident, all the wealthy and distinguished officials and aristocratic families who had come to propose marriage in the past have disappeared.
I originally expected to find a son with a prominent family background for my daughter this year to marry her, but now it seems that if the master's matter is not resolved, my daughter may not be able to marry into a good family.
Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but feel agitated.
Geng Zhangguang said: "How can these adults openly help dad? It's good to go along with the flow at critical moments. As long as we can achieve military success, the adults will definitely be willing to help!"
Geng Zhanghua said with a dark face: "Huh! If they don't help but beat me up, don't blame me for turning my back and making it public how much benefit they have gained from my Geng family over the years!"
"Pa!" The old woman waved her hand and gave Geng Zhanghua a big mouth, and said angrily: "Idiot, do you want my Geng family to be the enemy of the entire Ming Dynasty?"
Geng Zhangguang said: "Mom is right, even if something happens to dad, our family will still have to lose teeth and blood, how can we settle old scores?
If you really do something like this, not only will it not help, it will also cause more trouble. The Geng family no longer had a place in the Ming Dynasty. "
What he said is true. According to the original history, Geng Ruqi was sentenced to be beheaded and did not harm his family. The Geng family was still a class of scholar-bureaucrats. Within a few years, Geng Zhangguang became a Jinshi and became the seventh-rank county magistrate.
This result is probably because the Geng family did not bite the officials who accepted bribes.
This is what it means to be a human being and leave a line so that we can meet again in the future!
The Geng family was an aristocratic family with very strict rules. After being beaten, Geng Zhanghua immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake repeatedly.
The old lady who beat her son felt sorry for her young son, and now she felt a little regretful, and suddenly burst into tears...
Geng Yueru saw her mother crying so sadly that she cried till the pear blossoms were wet with rain.
Geng Zhangguang and Geng Zhanghua both had red eyes and sighed.
The Geng family's servants were so trembling that they didn't even dare to show their anger.
All in all, the Geng family is in a gloomy mood, and this new year is a bit difficult.
After Huang Yi led his men onto the road leading to Zhangjiakou, he soon discovered a striking boulder with the words "Pagoda to Suppress the River Demon" written on it.
He stopped and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing!
It is obvious that the Li family firm is eager to find itself.
At that time, the method of leaving this contact was just a joke. Unexpectedly, people not only took it seriously, but also followed it.
Huang Yi felt that whatever he wanted came to him!
Because he knew that from the end of the second year of Chongzhen to the summer of the third year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty faced the first invasion by the Jin army.
The seemingly glorious Ming Dynasty was beaten by the allied forces of Jiannu and Tatars and was unable to fight back, allowing those bandits to come and go freely.
During this period, dozens and hundreds of civilian and military generals were killed, captured, committed suicide, and died in battle.
More than a dozen high-ranking officials such as governors and inspectors, as well as senior military officers such as chief military officers, deputy generals, and staff generals, died.
Jian Nu felt the weakness of Ming Dynasty and actually tried to run an enclave in the pass.
After Huang Taiji led the main force of the Jin army to retreat in February of the third year of Chongzhen, he deliberately performed a shift change and dispatched Amin, who had stayed in Shenyang, to lead troops into the customs to take over the four cities of Zunhua, Luanzhou, Yongping, and Qian'an.
This should be a trap set by the insidious Huang Taiji for Amin, one of the four Belles.
He has always wanted to break the shackles of the four big Baylors jointly discussing politics.
If Amin could defend the four cities and run this enclave, it would not only facilitate the entry and exit of the Jin army, but also form a pincer attack on Shanhaiguan and greatly weaken the Ming Dynasty.
If Amin can't defend the four cities in the pass, Huang Taiji will have something to say!
It's natural to take away Amin's chair!
In fact, the power struggle in the Hou Jin Dynasty was just as cruel, but no one in the Ming Dynasty could take advantage of it cleverly.
Huang Yi is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and of course he knows that it is still early for all the Jin troops to leave the border, and there is plenty of time.
The Li family's firm was eager to contact them because the heads of Jiannu and Tatars were more valuable, and the Li family wanted more.
Huang Yi was so happy that he collected ninety-seven Tatar heads. Although there was no scene like the melon seeds of Jiannu's heads, he estimated that they could be sold for a good price.
Because he knew that there were actually not many Jian slaves entering the customs, and their number was not as large as the Mongol Tatars who took refuge in Jian slaves.
Lin Dan Khan is not dead yet, and the "Wife Sending King" still has a relatively large sphere of influence.
The Hou Jin Dynasty gradually grew stronger. When it first entered the pass, there was no Mongolian Eight Banners Army, but the Mongolian left and right wings.
At this time, the buyer took out the Tatar's head and reported it to the Jin army after beheading hundreds of people, and got ninety-seven heads, which was more convincing.
Huang Yi had made a mental calculation. The imperial court would reward a first-class young Tatar with thirty taels of silver. I would probably triple the price, asking for nine thousand taels of silver first.
The bottom line is no less than five thousand taels of silver.
