Chapter 1478 Meet the first surrendered side general of Ming Dynasty in history

The next morning, representatives of various tribes left one after another.

Qi Jiguang's military exercise mission was successfully completed and he also led his troops back to Jizhen.

Deputy General Li Pinghu and Li Rusong had already led their troops to leave after the night banquet last night.

It is common for Liaodong Iron Cavalry to march at night, and night attacks are also one of the best methods of assault.

But don’t think that there are so many iron cavalry in Fengcheng who are guarding Tieling, but they are just transferred from various places to participate in military exercises, and they are dispatched by their two deputy generals.

There are not so many soldiers guarding each city, and there are only more than 60,000 troops in the entire Liaodong.

Zhu Yiliu took Wang Xianggan, Li Chengliang and other officials to return to Liaoyang immediately.

Instead, I went to Fushun Pass.

Because at the banquet yesterday, I found that Nikan Wailan was talking and laughing with the guerrilla general Li Yongfang, who was guarding Fushun Pass, and seemed to be walking very intimately.

Of course, Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang didn't know why Zhu Yiliu suddenly decided to go to Fushun Pass.

In fact, Zhu Yiliu was planning to summon Li Yongfang alone last night, but he was afraid that it would affect everyone's rest. If he wanted to summon him, everyone else would definitely have to accompany him.

The reason for the summoning - Fushun was the first Ming Dynasty border town captured by Nurhaci in history, while Li Yongfang was the first Ming Dynasty border general to surrender to open the city gate.

Therefore, Zhu Yiliu wondered whether Li Yongfang's personality was biased towards weakness, rather than the kind of person who was extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty and had a strong personality.

Moreover, after surrendering, Li Yongfang followed Nurhaci to attack Ming many times, captured Qinghe, Tieling, Liaoyang, Chenyang and other places, and was awarded the title of third-class general officer for his merits, and refused the surrender of Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong. In order to commend Li Yongfang, Nurhaci gave him the privilege of "avoiding death three times" and married his granddaughter to him as his wife.

No matter how Nurhaci treated Li Yongfang well or what Li Yongfang had for the time being, Li Yongfang was eventually a surrendered general.

So Zhu Yiliu wanted to go and have a while.

Thinking that if Li Yongfang really tends to be weak and is not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he might have to make some personnel transfer arrangements at the appropriate time.

After all, officials of this personality are not suitable for guarding the border.

Fushun's geographical location in Liaodong is too important. The old nest of Nurhaci adjacent to Nurhaci (not Fo'ala City, which was built later) is the only way for Nurhaci to enter the Liaodong Plain. It is located between Chenyang, Kaiyuan, Liaoyang and other places, and is known as the "hub of the entire Liao Dynasty".

In addition, Fushun Pass was a major trade center in the Liaodong region at that time. It gathered a large number of Mongolians, Jurchens, Hans and Korean merchants, and was one of the important sources of the Liaodong finance of the Ming Dynasty. The Jianzhou Jurchens, the four Jurchen tribes of Haixi, and the Mongolian Korqin tribes all rely on this place to conduct bilateral trade.

Of course, I was just a guess about Li Yongfang. Zhu Yili didn't know who he was.

On the way to Fushun Pass, Zhu Yili asked: "What happened to the banquet last night?"

"Eat and drink honestly, and no one yells to leave anymore." Wang Xianggan replied.

Li Chengliang said: "But Your Majesty, many of the representatives who came here are not ministers of various tribes, so they cannot make decisions and can only follow the crowd."

"Then it depends on the reactions of each tribe. Although I do not advocate military use, I must be prepared to fight at any time." Zhu Yiliu instructed.

"I know." Li Chengliang replied immediately. He wished a war. In the first year of Taihe, there was no major military use, which made him so hard.

"Why did Your Majesty go to Fushun Pass alone?" Li Chengliang asked curiously. Because according to common sense, the emperor will return to Liaoyang after the military exercise.

"How is the guerrilla general Li Yongfang?" Zhu Yili asked casually.

"I wonder what aspect Your Majesty wants to ask?" Li Chengliang looked at Zhu Yili carefully.

"Character, person, and life, all aspects."

"In fact, I don't know much about him. I only know that Li Yongfang is from Tieling Wei. He has been a martial artist since he was a child. He is very smart and has considerable military talents."

He comes from the same place as Li Chengliang.

"A strong personality or weak? Can it be used more?" Zhu Yiliu asked again.

"This..." Li Chengliang shook his head vigilantly, "It's hard to say this minister."

Then he asked two consecutive questions: "Why did Your Majesty ask like this? Did Your Majesty know Li Yongfang before?"

"I don't know much, but I heard about it a little."

"Why did Your Majesty go to Fushun Pass and is related to Li Yongfang's guerrilla general?" Li Chengliang asked cautiously. After all, Li Yongfang was appointed as the governor of Fushun Pass.

"That's right." Zhu Yili nodded.

"What are your majesty's considerations?" Li Chengliang felt more and more nervous. Even if Li Yongfang had any problems, he should ask about it, and the emperor should not take action personally. So he thought about how big a thing Li Yongfang had committed?

"I can't explain it clearly in a few words now." Zhu Yiliu said, "It's better to go there and see."

As a result, Li Chengliang was even more puzzled. He had been by the emperor for a while. Logically, the emperor had no reason to know Li Yongfang.

However, there are just one guerrilla general, there are dozens of guerrilla generals in Liaodong. How many guerrilla generals were there in the Ming Dynasty? Does the emperor know everything?

But the emperor couldn't explain clearly after a few words, and Li Chengliang didn't dare to continue asking questions. He was about to send someone to inform him in advance, but was stopped by Zhu Yiliu.

"General Li doesn't need to notify first. I want to disguise myself as a private visit."

It was less than a mile to Fushun Guerrilla General's Mansion that Zhu Yili sent someone to communicate.

But Li Yongfang was shocked. The emperor, governor, and general are all here? What are you doing? Didn’t you just meet yesterday?

The key is that no one told him in advance. The emperor arrived at the guerrilla general's mansion... It's not right.

Li Yongfang hurried out to greet him.

Zhu Yili and his group had arrived in front of the mansion.

"I don't know that Your Majesty is here, I will be in a position to welcome you. I will forgive you for your crime!"

"No gift."

Li Yongfang stood up tremblingly and accompanied Zhu Yiliu. He had only contacted Li Chengliang. He did not know anyone else before yesterday.

Because I only knew Li Chengliang, I certainly exchanged glances with Li Chengliang as soon as possible after getting up.

However, seeing that Li Chengliang's eyes were also confusing, Li Yongfang's heart was even more ups and downs. Did he have committed something? Then there is no need to bother the emperor to come!

Zhu Yiliu said with a clear look: "General Li doesn't need to panic. I just want to come to the mansion to sit down, talk to General Li about the situation in Fushun, and take a walk to the Fushun Pass trade venue."

"I am flattered! Your Majesty, please!" Li Yongfang's heart was about to jump out. It was so contrary to normalcy. He was just a small guerrilla general.

Leading the way by Li Yongfang, Zhu Yili and his group entered the guerrilla general's mansion.

The guerrilla generals were nervous and had never seen such a situation.

Zhu Yiliu naturally sat down, with Chen Ju and Zhu Bajie next to him, and four close servants behind him.

Wang Xianggan and Li Chengliang sat on the side of the lower head.

Although Zhu Yili had informed the purpose of this trip, Li Yongfang was still sweating all over and didn't dare to sit while standing, as if she was waiting for trial.

"General Li is also sitting." Zhu Yili raised his hand, with a faint smile on his face.

"I'm still standing and talking." Li Yongfang replied cautiously.

"How tired I am standing. I am here today and I have a lot to say. Sit."

Li Yongfang sat down tremblingly.

"I heard that you have always had a good relationship with Nikan Wailan?" Zhu Yili asked the first question.

Li Yongfang's heart skipped a beat, what does the saying "always good" mean?
