Emperor Wanli died half a year early.
Only then did Liu Zhaosun deeply understand the meaning of the butterfly effect.
Wei Zhongxian said that the emperor was angry to death by the Donglin Party. After hearing this, Liu Zhaosun suddenly sympathized with the old emperor.
Thinking about Zhu Yijun's life, it was quite miserable.
At the age of Chong Ling Jian Zuo, his power was emptied out by the cabinet, the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Queen Mother. After finally surviving Zhang Juzheng to death, he drove away Feng Bao, and prepared for a big fight, only to find that enemies were everywhere, so he stopped fighting and passively resisted the world by slacking off in politics.
With his efforts, the situation of Wanli's resurgence quickly disappeared, the Ming Dynasty was in decline, the rise of the Hou Jin Dynasty and the Shaanxi civil uprising paved the way for the final demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Later generations said that the Ming Dynasty perished in Chongzhen and actually perished in Wanli, which is not a lie.
As for the newly enthroned Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo, he was even more unlucky than his father.
Zhu Changluo came from a humble background. His mother was a palace maid. He was born to him by accident. His mother's identity as a noble concubine was not recognized by Wanli for a long time.
Later, Zhu Changluo experienced the struggle over the country's foundation, and he was in panic all day long. It was not until the case was solved that he could barely secure his position as prince.
After finally succeeding to the throne, he died within a month. Some people said that Zhu Changluo indulged in excessive sexual activities, while others said that he was murdered by civil servants.
However, two of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty happened to this person. It must be said that he has the attributes of koi.
Liu Zhaosun is now not sure how long Zhu Changluo, who ascended the throne eight months in advance, will be emperor.
January? One year? ten years?
If Emperor Taichang could inherit a little bit of his father's genes and live for more than ten years, then Tianqi and Chongzhen would not exist.
This brother's ability to govern the country should be a little higher than that of the Carpenter Emperor and the Meishan God of War.
So, where is the future of Ming Dynasty?
Everything is heading towards chaos.
I wonder what direction Wan Ming in this plane will develop?
Liu Zhaosun had no time to feel sad for Wanli and his son.
Now, he has more important things to do.
Counting from the first day of the Hunhe War to the end of the execution of Yuan Yingtai and the driving back of the Liao Town troops, Liu Zhaosun had been fighting on and off for more than two months.
More than half of the army suffered casualties, and the surviving soldiers were extremely exhausted. It was time to rest.
Although Emperor Taichang was not like his father who was ignored by others as soon as he ascended the throne, he was a cowardly character and had little power in his hands. The cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies still had the final say on major court affairs.
When the new emperor ascends the throne, power needs to be redistributed. The Donglin Party, the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Zhejiang Party are fighting bloody battles. The cabinet has no intention and is unable to deal with Liu Zhaosun.
Needless to say, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, now Eunuch Wei has a hand over the sky and fully supports his brother-in-law. He will kill all the disobedient people he can.
Therefore, the imperial court did not even superficially attack Kaiyuan, but put all the blame for the Liaodong turmoil on the three dead men.
Yuan Yingtai, Zhang Quan and others were imprisoned and their homes were ransacked, but Liu Zhaosun, the mastermind behind the scenes, was rewarded. The new emperor also reissued 600,000 taels of military pay to Kaiyuan's army.
Liu Zhaosun didn't know if this was a hard-to-get plot, but since he had granted the title of Marquis of Ping Liao and allocated five cities in northern Liao to himself, it was obvious that the court did not want to quarrel, at least not at this juncture.
Liu Zhaosun followed suit, no longer making rude demands, and only asked the court to implement the rewards for a group of generals.
The imperial court made up for Yang Hao's gap in Tianjin's coastal defense road, and placed Lao Yang at the feet of the capital, somewhat like a hostage.
Liu Zhaosun had no time to persuade his father-in-law, so Yang Hao happily went to Tianjin to take up his post and began his official career again.
Liu Zhaosun had nothing to do with his father-in-law, who was an official fan.
However, as long as Marquis Ping Liao is in Liaodong, Yang Hao will not be in any big trouble.
The bloody battle at Hunhe earned 150,000 taels of silver, and the killing of Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan earned 100,000 taels. In addition to the 600,000 taels rewarded by Emperor Taichang, Liu Zhaosun received a total of 850,000 taels of silver this time.
The captured Houjin grain and grass supplies were piled up in mountains. Considering that Qiao Yiqi and the others expanded their enclosure in northern Liaoning and had more harvest, the Kaiyuan Army should be able to live a prosperous life in the next period of time.
Liu Zhaosun's twentieth birthday is getting closer and closer.
This is Liu Zhaosun’s first birthday after traveling to the Ming Dynasty.
In just nine months, he fought bloody battles and won the championship in a hundred battles. From a young commander, he was promoted step by step to the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
Everything seems very dreamy, but behind it is a mountain of blood and corpses piled up by tens of thousands of soldiers.
Of course, there is also his undying obsession.
On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the new governor of Liaodong, Wang Huazhen, took office and came to Shenyang with the pacesetter battalion to replace the former governor Zhou Yuchun who had always been close to Liu Zhaosun.
Compared with the already cool Yuan Yingtai, the governor's attitude towards Ping Liaohou was quite friendly.
Liu Zhaosun sent Kang Yingqian to give him a big gift. In addition to three thousand taels of silver, Marquis Ping Liao also said that he would also have a share of Liao's salary.
Wang Huazhen promised that as long as there was land smuggling or human trafficking on the ground in Liaodong, he would turn a blind eye and let Marquis Pingliao do it.
Liu Zhaosun was stunned. He was not prepared to engage in triangular trade in Liaodong.
Wang Huazhen worked on the Haiphong Road in Shandong, and the road was wild.
Liu Zhaosun didn't know much about this person. He only remembered that Wang Huazhen seemed to have a bad relationship with Xiong Tingbi. Before and after the fall of Liaoshen, the two were questioned by the court together.
But now that Xiong Jinglue had died in battle, he had no objection to Wang Huazhen.
The spheres of influence of all parties in Liaodong have been determined, and Shenyang will continue to be under the control of the imperial court. In a short period of time, the Kaiyuan Army will be unable to occupy it.
The road must be walked step by step.
Don't spread your business too big at once. Once you are unable to follow up, it will easily backfire on you.
Taking advantage of this period, the Kaiyuan Army continued to recruit auxiliary troops in Liaoshen.
When they were about to return to Kaiyuan, Liu Zhaosun's men had recovered to 6,000.
When these auxiliary troops are trained next spring, the Kaiyuan Army's combat effectiveness will be further enhanced.
Jin Yuji's injuries have basically recovered. Old Songtou said that she still needs to rest and cannot move, otherwise she will be disabled in the future.
Liu Zhaosun was worried about the bumpy journey and couldn't bear to let her go back. Jin Dajiu and Xu Xiake returned to Seoul half a month ago. There was no suitable person around to take care of her, so Liu Zhaosun was worried about leaving her alone in Shenyang.
Finally, he spent a lot of money to buy a beautifully decorated carriage and drove Jin Yuji home alone.
The carriage followed the army all the way north, moving slowly towards the Kaiyuan den of Jin Yuji and Liu Zhaosun.
The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the forty-seventh year of Wanli.
This day was Liu Zhaosun's twentieth birthday, and he only told Jin Yuji.
The two secretly ate a bowl of longevity noodles, and he told her that her wish would come true at this time.
Jin Yuji quickly put down her chopsticks, closed her eyes, and looked pious.
Liu Zhaosun couldn't help but pinch her face again.
Jin Yuji's eyes suddenly widened, and Liu Zhaosun asked:
"What wish did you make?"
"I won't tell you."
"And you?"
Liu Zhaosun thought of the loving couple in "Six Chapters of a Floating Life", looked at Jin Yuji and said:
"I wish to be husband and wife for all eternity."
········
At noon, the army set off from Wengcheng, the north gate of Shenyang, and marched north along the official road.
Ye Hejing, with the original battle flag on his back, galloped past the carriage, his horse's hooves trampling through the grass and kicking up billowing smoke.
The cavalry was sent in groups of five to the north continuously, with a group of sentry horses every five miles.
The auxiliary soldiers, carrying armor and weapons, lined up neatly and walked on the official road.
Oxen-carts carrying captured grain, cloth, and other items creaked and creaked past the official road.
Liu Zhaosun rode his horse and walked in front of Jin Yuji's carriage, looking back from time to time at the advancing queue behind him.
This team stretched for miles, with no end in sight, and all the results of the bloody battle in Hunhe River were pulled back to Kaiyuan.
Kang Yingqian followed Liu Zhaosun with excitement on his face.
"Marquis Ping Liao, it is unexpected that the imperial court has not broken with us."
Liu Zhaosun glanced at him. This time Kang Yingqian continued to increase his rank and rank. He was promoted to the governor of Liaodong, and he was also made a general.
Several officials proposed to transfer all the Liaodong Supervisory Army back to the capital, but the memorial was rejected by the cabinet before it was sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Even if there is an edict now, Kang Ying will not go to the capital if he has to work hard.
Now, he has offended many people in the capital, and he may be in trouble if he goes back.
"I don't know how Qiao Yiqi will react after hearing that we killed Yuan Yingtai. Will he continue to remain motionless?"
Kang Yingqian said to himself that he knew that Qiao Yiqi, Yuan Chonghuan and Song Yingxing had never thought of rebelling.
Liu Zhaosun frowned slightly. He had also considered this issue.
"The imperial court dare not touch their family members for the time being, but after a while, they will still send people back to the pass to pick up their family members. I don't want to cause chaos among us one day in the future."
