Chapter 188: Your Majesty's pocket is not as good as it was in the past

After Nurhaci officially rebelled, the primary goal of the Jin army was to guard Fushun.

It seemed as if God also felt Nurhaci's determination to revenge. When the Jin army gathered and prepared, Fushun's guard Li Yongfang suddenly decided to open the horse market in Fushun on the 15th.

When the news reached the Jin army, Nurhaci was very happy. The leader of the Zhenghong Banner, Erbei Daishan suggested that elite troops should be sent to disguise themselves as merchants and sneak into Fushun. In this way, once the war begins, they can attack inside and outside, and Fushun will definitely be conquered in one fell swoop.

All the princes and ministers agreed with Dai Shan's opinion, and Nurhaci also agreed with it and then added some additional plans.

Based on past experience, Nurhaci proposed two measures.

First, use a lot of money to bribe the soldiers in Fushun and let them be guides;

Second, people were sent to encourage the Western Zai Sai, Aidu and other Mongolian 24th Battalion to Fushun to seek rewards, so as to distract Li Yongfang and others from the Ming army;

After the discussion and agreement, Nurhaci ordered everyone to arrange and implement it separately. Sure enough, the Fushun side did not suspect that the Jin army came to attack the Dakaima market, which resulted in a large number of Jin Dynasty's fine works mingling into Fushun City.

A few days later, Nurhaci personally led his army to attack Fushun. Fushun woke up as if he was dreaming and quickly closed the city and closed the city gate.

After the troops arrived at the city, Nurhaci wrote a letter to Li Yongfang for surrender, saying that Li Yongfang was just a guerrilla, how could he defeat the Great Jin Dynasty?

It is also said that Li Yongfang is extremely talented and has always had a very harmonious relationship with Jianzhou since he became an official in Fushun. He has a strong personal relationship with Nurhaci himself. Now that the Great Jin Dynasty has been established, talents are needed in the country. If Li Yongfang is willing to lead troops to surrender, he will definitely be entrusted to use it.

Li Yongfang, who received Nurhaci's persuasion to surrender, was also difficult. On the one hand, he knew clearly that the Fushun defenders were insufficient and it was difficult to deal with the elite Jin soldiers outside the city. Once the Jin soldiers conquered Fushun, Li Yongfang would undoubtedly die.

But on the other hand, the garrison king Mingyin and others fought to the death, which made him dare not open the city and surrender rashly.

So Li Yongfang made two preparations, one was to climb the south gate to ask the Jin army to surrender outside the city, but on the other hand, he ordered the soldiers in the city to prepare for war and defense.

The defending king Mingyin and others were determined to die and stood firm in Fushun waiting for assistance. The battle started quickly and the Jin army attacked the city with a ladder. Just as the soldiers defending the city were fighting bravely with the Jin army, the Jin army in the city suddenly launched a attack, causing fire everywhere in the city.

Just as the king ordered the Yin to send someone to suppress him, Li Yongfang suddenly killed him, and then went out of the city to surrender and crawled to see Nurhaci.

At this point, Fushun fell into the hands of the Jin army. Nurhaci ordered the city of Fushun the next day to be completely burned down, and all the Han people in the city were divided into thousands of households, and moved to Heituarafa to the Eight Banners and the people wearing armor as slaves.

The Fushun officers and soldiers who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty with Li Yongfang were placed separately. Li Yongfang was appointed as the third-class deputy general and married the daughter of Nurhaci's seventh son Abatai as his wife, and was named Fuxie Prince.

The day after the collapse of Fushun City, a Han scholar Fan Wencheng and his brother Fan Wenlu took the initiative to ask for Nurhaci, claiming to be the descendant of Zhongyan, the Northern Song Dynasty's Fan Wenzhenggong.

He said that he has been well-read since childhood, knows everything about astronomy and geography, knows everything about the three religions and the nine genres, and has mastered military writing strategies.

He was elected as a scholar at the age of eighteen. Later, because he wrote many letters to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the Emperor did not use it, and he spread his life without any support or aid.

Now that the Great Jin Dynasty rose to Jianzhou, the Fan brothers worked tirelessly and did not avoid axes and castings, and followed the example and recommended themselves. If the Great Jin Dynasty lord cherishes talents, the two brothers should do their best to assist the wise ruler.

What the Fan brothers said made Nurhaci feel excited. Thinking that there was a lack of counselors around him, he let the Fan brothers beside him to listen.

After the news of Fushun being besieged reached Chenyang, Liaodong Governor Li Weihan urgently ordered Guangning General Zhang Chengyin to lead Liaoyang's deputy general Poting Prime Minister and Haizhou Governor Pu Shifang to lead 10,000 troops to rescue Fushun. As a result, the Ming army was ambushed by the Jin army and General Zhang Chengyin died.

After Fushun, another important town, Qinghe, was also captured by the Jin army. The Jin army, which had successively won military victories, opened to Chenyang with great fanfare.

The eight hundred miles of Liaodong are in a hurry!

"There was finally a war of smoke in Liaodong..."

After receiving the temporary position of Minister of War who was in a hurry to the point of being in a hurry, Xue Sancai, the former governor of Ji Liao, was shocked and was about to enter the palace to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

However, the soldiers were stopped outside the palace by eunuchs, saying that the emperor was sick and could not see the ministers from the outside court.

"This matter is urgent. I will ask Your Majesty to read the memorial!"

Xue Sancai was both angry and anxious.

"Is it a border matter?"

The eunuch on duty, Jia Daquan, thought that the eight hundred miles of pass was really a big deal, and he couldn't really stop him.

Just thinking of the harsh instructions of the imperial concubine, Eunuch Jia did not dare to let Xue Shangshu in, so he said to him: "Don't worry, my soldier is here to spread the word, but if the emperor wants to see me, our family can't guarantee it. Besides, it's not a big deal for our family. Since the beginning of spring this year, the emperor's Dragon Body Committee has been in peace. No matter how long it has been to get out of bed and walk a few steps."

"Your Majesty is so sick?"

Xue Sancai was shocked, "The Jurchen rebelled and seized my important town, which is a big deal. I hope my father-in-law is worried."

Jia Daquan also sighed: "Look at what I said, can we not bother with such a big deal?"

Afterwards, Jia Daquan quickly entered the palace to tell the concubine about this matter.

"So, that kid is so presumptuous, that guy is really against me." The imperial concubine who was taking the ninth son of the emperor asked the palace servant to take the ninth son of the emperor, and thought about it and walked into her husband's dormitory.

It has been half a year, and the imperial concubine has been protecting her seriously ill husband in the past six months.

The Empress of the Central Palace wanted to come to serve the emperor the few times, but the imperial concubine said that the Empress was also older and inconvenient to work hard.

Queen Wang once suspected that Concubine Zheng wanted to isolate China and abroad, so she came here to see her husband in person. As a result, her husband was still indifferent to her words and expressed that she was very satisfied with Concubine Zheng's service, which made Queen Wang feel sad.

Wanli on the bed heard the footsteps of the imperial concubine, and he weakly raised his eyes and looked at his beloved concubine: "What's the matter?"

Concubine Zheng did not dare to hide it from the border military situation, so she told her husband about the emergency received by the Ministry of War.

"A few years ago, Li Hualong pointed out that Liaodong is full of dangers and Jianzhou is strong, so it will be difficult to maintain it forever. Later, Wei Liangchen also repeatedly exposed it to me, reminding me that only Jiannu is the most ridiculous about the matter on the border today. Unfortunately, I have never taken Jianzhou seriously, alas."

Wanli on the hospital bed sighed with regret.

In fact, in order to eliminate the threat of Jianzhou, Wei Liangchen also privately led his troops to Liaodong twice.

Once, all the Kuandian Forts, which were all assigned to Jianzhou by Li Chengliang, were burned down, and Xie'an District was established in northern Korea under the name of an angel, thinking that the base for the war against Jianzhou will be established in the future.

The second time, he ignored the strict order of Wanli and led the emperor's personal army to go out of Kuandian again, attacked and swept the fortress villages in Jianzhou on the line of Laobian Wall, and threatened to directly attack Heituara to attract the two white flags of Jianzhou to go east.

Later, the Ming and Jin sides fought fiercely in Dadian and Changdian for more than a month. The Jinying White Banner was severely injured, and the banner owner A Dai died. The Zhengbai Banner Lord, Ju Ying, led the army to retreat.

These two military operations against Jianzhou naturally never existed at the official level and were not allowed by the court. For this reason, the governor of Liaodong and even the governor of Ji Liao were nervous that Wei Liangchen had more than ten memorials, but they were all kept by Wanli.

The memorial of Wanli Liuzhong to impeach Wei Liangchen was for two purposes: one was that the plan to open the sea temporarily needed Wei's presidency, and the other was that the affairs of Liaodong did not actually attract his attention.

In Wanli's view, no matter how much the Jianzhou Dragon and Tiger General was, he was still the leader of a local area. How could the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe, with a population of up to hundreds of thousands, shock the Ming Dynasty?

Even if Nurhaci imitated the Han people and established the so-called Jin regime, in Wanli's view, he was just a guy who wanted to be a vassal minister.

Therefore, as long as Nurhaci's Jin Kingdom did not raise the flag to attack the Ming Dynasty, Wanli really did not want to mobilize his troops. Liaodong reported that he could treat Jin Kingdom and Korea, and Wanli could also think about it.

After all, the treasury is very empty at the moment. If you really want to launch troops against Jianzhou, what will you pay and what will you buy food and grass?

However, everyone has hit the doorstep, and the fall of important towns such as Fushun and Qinghe has already declared that Shenyang is in danger. If Shenyang is lost again, Guangning, which has no danger to defend, will definitely be out of protection, and the next step will be Shanhaiguan.

Behind Shanhaiguan is the capital!

Knowing that the consequences were serious, Wanli forced himself to help Concubine Zheng help him up, and then walked to the front hall with difficulty to call Xue Sancai.

After listening to a series of reports from Xue Sancai, Wanli said: "The cunning enemy plans to trap the border city. All defense and suppression matters will be handled by cameras in the place, and the military pay will be sent tightly. He will send support, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue will discuss the report."

After hearing the emperor's instructions, Xue Sancai was a little troubled. What is camera handling? Where can I send troops to help? What money should I pay?

The military pay in Liaodong Bian Town was unable to be as good as it was, and it was common to pay in full force. The Ministry of Revenue could not raise money and food. Therefore, Xue Sancai and the chief minister Fang Congzhe and others had the same view on solving this problem, that is, they asked to open the treasury.

In recent years, the emperor's inner treasury has been quite considerable. The mining supervision guards in various places have been handed over to Beijing every year. Moreover, the maritime eunuch that caused a headache for the court also had huge silver to honor the emperor.

It is said that Wei secretly led his troops to work in Japan for the incident of "Japanese pirates" that year, and he robbed Japan of a fortune.

These things must be hated by everyone in the court. The Ming Dynasty was the supreme country of the Heavenly Kingdom, and it was a benevolent and righteous teacher. How could it do the Japanese pirates?

But Wei was a member of the inner court, the emperor's slave, and the soldiers he brought were under the name of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and had nothing to do with the outer court.

The salary is not for the Ministry of War, and the grain is not for the Ministry of Revenue. The promotion of officers and soldiers is not the court, so what should the court use to manage others?

What's more, there are also things in Japan that Zhejiang Codonopsis and pilosula. Ke Daozhen sued the case, and the Zhejiang Party designated to disrupt the water. The chief assistant Fang Congzhe is the Zhejiang Party.

Therefore, everyone, including the chief minister Fang Congzhe, pretended to be confused. No one could move about Wei unless the emperor had clear instructions.

Fortunately, Wei really contributed a lot of money to the inner treasury. If this money is used for the war in Liaodong, it can redeem Wei's crimes.
