After seeing off the army and the envoy, Xiao Niangpi had no intention of going back to catch up on her sleep. Yawning, Lin Yueru went to have breakfast.
The little girl was a little absent-minded, stirring the seafood porridge made from freshly killed crabs with a spoon. Hao rested his chin on his wrist and stared blankly.
Lin Yueru blew the seafood porridge in the spoon with her small mouth to cool down, and said: "Why, you are still struggling with the emperor's transfer of the regiment training. Now that the matter is over, let's think about what to do if the rebels come back again." Pi did not answer her words.
Turning around, she looked at Lin Yueru with beautiful eyes and said, "There is a person, please keep an eye on him. I want to know his movements at any time." Lin Yueru took a sip of the delicious porridge, put down the spoon, and asked in confusion: "Watch him. Who lives there? It’s a surprise.”
"He Kegang." Xiao Niangpi said. With a click, Lin Yueru's spoon fell into the bowl. A pair of big watery eyes looked at the little girl in disbelief.
"Why, I didn't expect that I would notice him." Xiao Niangpi put down her wrist, leaned back on the chair, stretched out comfortably, and said with a smile.
Lin Yueru composed herself and said: "For so many years, to be honest, I have never taken you too seriously. I always feel that you are just a female version of a playboy and a scourge." She smiled bitterly: "Treat others as fools. , I have become a fool. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are only a few important things in life, and you have not missed any of them, and you have done them wonderfully. I think I am smart, but in fact I am not as wise as you."
"How did you figure it out?" Lin Yueru asked.
"It's nothing complicated. Just this time when Your Majesty came to borrow troops, I connected a lot of things at once. I suddenly understood." Xiao Niangpi said.
"He Kegang is a key figure in Governor Yuan's place. It was only this year that I gradually understood it through the clues gathered by the people ambushing there." Lin Yueru said.
Xiao Niangpi sighed and said: "Actually, Governor Yuan is just a poor man who is tightly controlled by others. Just think about where his family records are, and you will understand. He really wants to do things, sincerely He wants to restore Liao in five years. But he really has no choice. As long as he keeps an eye on He Kegang, his Chinese army leader, he will basically kill Liao Town." Xiao Niangpi continued: "Jiannu can develop. It is an open secret that there are people who are supporting them. At least there is a consensus within Dongchang. There are people in the court who use Jiannu to make money and make a lot of money. They are a cooperative relationship." Nurhachi's father and grandfather died because of Li Chengliang of.
Li Chengliang felt deeply indebted to the Nurhaci brothers. Just kept helping them. The deeper reason is that after Zhang Juzheng died, the opposition forces in the court began to counterattack.
Zhang Juzheng's two young men in the army have become a thorn in the side of some people. Qi Jiguang was so tortured that he had no money for the coffin. His wife also got divorced, and he almost had no one to take care of his funeral.
In the end, the neighbors pooled their money to bury her. Li Chengliang is different from Qi Jiguang. He is a local snake. Family forces are deeply entangled in Tieling.
He has more chips in his hand. He directly played the trick of raising the bandits to respect themselves. Let Liaodong not be idle for a day.
In the end, these people were still afraid of Li Chengliang's backers and the severe situation in Liaodong. Considering the importance of the general, he didn't dare to kill him. After tormenting him enough, he let him go home to retire.
Li Chengliang clearly knew that his family had become the target of eradication by the imperial princes in Liaodong. The reason why he supported Nurhaci was to protect himself. In order for the forces in the court to allow Nurhaci to survive, his existence must provide sufficient benefits to the interest groups behind him.
To this end, Li Chengliang designed and bundled interests. This kind of transfer of interests has created border troubles and resulted in huge military expenditures in Liaodong.
The second is to rob and sell stolen goods for the slaves. In fact, the Mongolian issue on the nine sides is the same. Every time the Mongols went south, the massive supplies they looted were always sold to the internal forces and the imperial court as stolen goods.
This is a very huge benefit. This is also the reason why all those who advocated peace talks died.
Yuan Chonghuan wanted to negotiate peace, and his fate needless to say. Later, Chen Xinjia, Secretary of the Ministry of War, presided over the peace talks and was also killed.
Yang Sichang hoped to negotiate peace and was forced to die. Negotiating peace blocked some people's financial path. In the same way, the generals who were effective in attacking Jiannu basically died, retreated, and were transferred away from Liaodong.
Whenever Liaodong's power rises sharply and the two parties to the transaction are not equal, these capable players will be released. Beat Jiannu's fevered brain so that it hurts and let them calm down.
Let's sit down and talk about the distribution of benefits. Only the hidden power in the court and the maximization of their own interests are their fundamental motivation to control the ups and downs of the entire situation.
Seeing that Xiong Tingbi was about to stabilize the situation in Liaodong and compress Jiannu back to the mountains, he was dismissed. When he came back, Liaodong was completely corrupted.
Yuan Chonghuan stabilized Guan Ningjin, but also became a stumbling block for these people. Finally remove him. Lu Xiangsheng was the most effective general after Yuan Chonghuan in resisting Jiannu, but he was eventually tricked to death in Julu.
Wu Sangui understood clearly, so he kept running away on the battlefield. Often at the most critical moments, he abandons his teammates and runs away.
Instead, he kept getting promoted, and finally outlasted everyone else and became the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan with 100,000 troops.
It's really strange to be able to fight all the way and get promoted all the way while escaping. Lin Yueru said: "The Ming Dynasty is hopeless. Jiannu has a gold medal to avoid death. Every time they are about to finish playing, there will always be a miracle. All kinds of weird things give them a chance to breathe. The master is right, this is a Dajiangtan, it is right not to get involved with them and do our own thing." Xiao Niangpi said: "I just figured out this morning that Governor Yuan is actually controlled by He Kegang. He Kegang is the secret of Donglin stationed in Ningyuan. Special commissioner. He is the supervisor who supervises Inspector Yuan’s execution of Donglin’s intentions. What’s strange to me is that the master seems to have known about many things for a long time, but he just didn’t bother to talk about it. How did he know? "
"When the master and I first met, he was a complete novice. He was stupid and stupid as hell. I often pulled his ears when I was so angry. It has only been two years, but he has improved so fast. I already have his thoughts. I can't understand. He has done many things. It was only after a long time that I understood why he did it." Lin Yueru said: "This time, Mao Wenlong went a little too far. Dong Lin probably couldn't bear it anymore. This turmoil After that, the Qing army's incident was basically aborted. It ruined their major event. Donglin will not fail to take revenge." Xiao Niangpi sneered: "Dongjiang Town is isolated overseas, Donglin can take advantage of others. How about that? There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers on that island, all of whom are Yi Mao Wenlong Ruyi's parents. Can they touch them? At most they will break up in two."
