On that day, the various battalions in Kaiyuan will collect silver and cloth and pile them into the Wengcheng at the north gate.
On the pretext of suppressing the remnants of the incense in the city, the Kaiyuan Army blocked the north gate and strictly prohibited the entry and exit of Shandong soldiers.
Thirty civil affairs officials who came with the army, together with the guards of the Zhenfu Army, and more than 300 people worked overtime to count the supplies. They were busy from noon on the 8th to the early morning of the 9th before they seized and counted the mountains of gold, silver, cloth and silk.
There were 953,600 taels of silver, 13,000 pieces of gold jewelry, and 73,600 pieces of cloth...
More than 10,000 shi of grain and grass were seized, and several thousand shi were burned when the Wenxiang Sect withdrew.
Since the Wenxiang Sect rebels were mainly infantry, with few cavalry and not many armors, very few weapons were seized this time, only more than 800 horses and some damaged armor weapons.
Such a rich seizure was beyond Liu Zhaosun's expectations.
Ping Liaohou knew little about Shandong in the late Ming Dynasty.
His understanding of Shandong in the late Ming Dynasty mainly came from the collector's edition of "Jin Ping Mei".
That was Kang Jianjun's New Year's gift to Ping Liaohou.
The canal city Linqing described in the book is actually a prosperous place. Liu Zhaosun felt that it was in such a developed commercial city that Ximen Qing could live a happy life.
Wendeng County government office, three halls and east flower halls.
The backyard, which was originally the residence of the county magistrate's family, is now a resting place for Kaiyuan civil servants.
In a wing facing the back garden.
Marquis Pingliao waved Sun Chuanting and Qiao Yiqi to sit down. He took the hot dishes from the guards and handed them to them respectively. The two quickly bowed and accepted them.
Qiao Yiqi took a sip of tea and said loudly:
"Sir, Xicheng Baylor and the others are back and have seized tens of thousands of taels of silver. I will ask Xie Yang and the others to register..."
Liu Zhaosun quickly waved his hand to interrupt:
"Lord Qiao doesn't know. When I recruited these Jurchen Mongolian foreigners, the military rules and regulations were slightly different from those of the soldiers. Therefore, all the money did not need to be collected, and some were left to Burhang Gu. Only in this way can we attract the hearts of the foreigners."
Qiao Yiqi continued to drink tea. In front of him, Ping Liaohou and Kang Yingqian looked more and more like each other, and the city became more and more profound.
He was about to speak when he heard Marquis Ping Liao continue:
"Kang Xunjian and Yuan Ducha are going to supervise the inventory of the seizures. When Governor Yuan comes to Wendeng tonight, you two will accompany me to receive him."
When Liu Zhaosun said this, he raised his head and looked at Sun Chuanting, who quickly put down his tea cup.
"Governor Yuan is upright by nature, loyal to the emperor and patriotic. I admired this person very much when I was in Liaodong and wanted to make friends with him."
Qiao Yiqi turned to Sun Chuanting and said seriously:
"Back then, Japanese pirates were infested in the southeast, and Wuzhong implemented a sea ban. Enemies falsely accused me of recruiting troops and trying to gather people to rebel..."
Yuan Keli (also known as Liqing) had a life-saving grace for Qiao Yiqi.
In the twenty-third year of Wanli, Qiao Dazui was still a frivolous young man in bright clothes and angry horses.
At the same time, the Japanese Rebellion broke out in Imjin, and Japanese police were constantly on the southeast coast.
Qiao Yiqi, a wealthy family in Yunjian, Qin Deng, the son of Qin Liang, the governor of Jiangxi Province, and Wang Shisu, the second son of Yanzhou, the king of Taicang, jointly recruited local soldiers to guard the Japanese Bao family. They wore bright clothes and angry horses, and showed off the city. They were reported to have gathered people to rebel.
This incident alarmed Emperor Wanli and ordered a thorough investigation. Shi Xing, then Minister of War, was afraid that there might be discrepancies, so he sent someone to check again.
Li Ke wrote a memorial to Geng Suilong about the incident: "Zhaozhou Pingping, a citizen of Danyang County, is an evil young man and a drunkard. He is not allowed to enter by mistake unless he is promoting chaos." However, his memorial was suppressed.
Zhu Hongmo, the governor of Zhejiang, was worried that Wu Sha would not be protected, so he directly sentenced Qin Deng to beheaded, Wang Shisu to prison, and Qiao Yiqi to be exiled from the army.
Yuan Keli, who was the official of the Suzhou Prefecture at the time, felt that there was injustice in the case, and despite the governor's obstruction, he advocated a retrial.
After many investigations, he found that the so-called rebellion was just a storyteller of Wang Shisu's servant who liked to tell stories in the restaurant about Chen Qiao, a member of Zhao Guan's family, mutinied and got himself in a yellow robe.
Qiao Dazui imitated Zhao Kuangyin, saying "I", and the three of them were wearing bright clothes and angry horses, so they were reported by their enemies.
The case came to light, and with the help of people in the court and government to protect them, the three were acquitted.
It is a pity that Qin and Wang have died in prison.
Only Qiao Yiqi survived the catastrophe and was rescued from death row.
"If it hadn't been for Yuan Liqing's rescue, I would probably be dead now."
Sun Chuanting heard about this unjust case. He went to Beijing twice for interviews and saw a lot. He was quite sympathetic to Qiao Dazui's tragic experience.
He had already heard of Yuan Keli's famous name.
Yuan Keli lived in the Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen dynasties, and was one of the important officials in the late Ming Dynasty.
He was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. He was first appointed as a promotion official in Suzhou Prefecture of South Zhili. In the 23rd year, he was promoted to the supervisory censor of Shanxi Road. In the first month of the 24th year, he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.
In the second year of Tianqi's reign, he was promoted to the Secretary of the Tongzheng Envoy, Zuotong Zongzheng Office, and the Minister of Sutra Banquet. On March 14, he was appointed as the imperial examination official. On April 10, he was appointed as the censor of the right capital of Denglai.
On the 6th day of the tenth month of the third year of Tianqi's reign, he was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War of the Jin Dynasty... and finally became the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Yuan Keli redressed unjust cases throughout his life, instigated Liu Aita's rebellion, founded Dongjiang Town, and regained the territory of southern Liaoning. He was regarded as an official in the late Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Liu Zhaosun would try his best to win over such talents.

In the evening of the same day, Yuan Keli, the governor of Dengzhou, led the Weihaiwei commander, Tongzhi, Qianshi, and the magistrates of Ninghai Prefecture, Penglai County, Huang County, Fushan County, and Qixia County in a hurry to Wendeng County to celebrate the victory of Ping Liaohou.
The rank of the general soldier was the same as that of the governor. According to the culture of this era, the status of the general soldier was slightly lower than that of the governor. However, Liu Zhaosun was the commander of the Kaiyuan Three Guards and was blessed by the title of Marquis Pingliao, so his status was naturally different.
Liu Zhaosun had met Yuan Keli and others when he was in Weihaiwei. However, the military situation was urgent at that time and the two sides did not have in-depth conversations. This time they defeated the Wenxiang Sect and the situation in Dengzhou was stable. It was just right for him to have a good talk with Governor Yuan about Dengzhou. future order.
Marquis Pingliao greeted Yuan Keli and others at the east gate, and a group of county magistrates followed Yuan Keli like tails.
Yuan Keli looked at the people who were being killed in the city and could not speak for a long time.
Liu Zhaosun told Master Yuan that the thief leader had been brought to justice and was receiving Ling Chi.
