After Gao pragmatic figured out the basic situation of Bailixia, he called Liu Wei back and gave him a simple explanation, and then said: "There will be no more thieves in Bailixia from now on, but this matter is not
It’s not just a few of us gesticulating here and saying nothing, neither Shuntian Prefecture nor Wanping County can be handed over so easily, so we still have to discuss how to say this matter. I
Seeing this, let’s go discuss it with your father together first.”
Liu Wei had just heard that Bailixia had voted for Gao Jingshi, and he was also worried that one of his achievements would be lost. After hearing what Gao Jingshi said, he felt a little relieved and agreed.
The three of them came to see Liu Wei together. It was probably because Gao Pingshi and the others had been away for a long time. This time, the little Lolita was not there, and Liu Xian was the only one.
After Gao pragmatically explained his purpose, Liu Xian was a little surprised. He glanced at Cao Gan, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since Bailixia has surrendered to Mr. Gao, the attack by force can be abandoned, but Gao Ge Lao and Zhang Shilang
I haven't received the news yet, so I would like Mr. Gao to get in touch with the two of them as early as possible and inform them of the matter, lest they become so anxious that they already put pressure on Governor Shuntian, and things will not be easy to handle by then.
.”
"This is what the title means. I will write two more letters to them later to explain the matter. Anyway, the letters will not be sent until tomorrow, so there is still enough time." Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly and said.
"The problem at the moment is that we need to find a reason for Bailixia to suddenly abandon the secret and turn to the bright side. One is to earn some credit for you, General Liu, so that my third uncle and uncle can speak more conveniently in the court.
Secondly, everyone in Bailixia also wants to use this to clear their identities."
Liu Xian thought for a while and then said: "Liu really doesn't understand the affairs of the capital, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense. However, the capital is not as good as other places. It is as big as Bailixia. It can be called a giant bandit.
Wanping County would not dare to say anything casually, and even Shuntian Mansion may not be able to make a decision. If Liu's opinion is followed, the matter will probably fall on Governor Shuntian... I dare to ask Mr. Gao, what do you think of this Governor Shuntian?
Do you understand?"
Gao Pingshi said: "Liu Yingjie, governor of Shuntian, named Zihe, is from Weixian County, Shandong Province. This Duke is the same age as Zhang Ge. He is a pure and brave man. Now my third uncle, Duke Xuan, is in charge. I know him well, and I once called him Mr.
He is a rare capable minister."
Gao Gong brought Gao Jingshi to Beijing, and when he had free time on weekdays, he often commented on contemporary figures for Gao Jingshi. Among them, his evaluation of Liu Yingjie was really not low. In particular, he specifically told Gao Jingshi about Liu Yingjie's excellent performance during the Gengshu Revolution in his early years.
Gao Pragmatic was deeply impressed.
At that time, Ida had already conquered Jizhou and arrived at Changping. Then I fled to Miyun and Huairou to loot the outskirts of the capital, but encountered no resistance along the way.
The capital was in panic, the court was shaken, and some ministers even asked Emperor Jiajing to abandon the capital and patrol the south. Fortunately, at this time, soldiers and horses of King Qin who came from all directions gathered near the capital, so Emperor Jiajing had the confidence to fight and ordered the Ministry of War to organize a counterattack. But
King Qin's soldiers and horses entrenched outside the city were reluctant to fight because they were afraid of Anda's power.
At that time, Liu Yingjie, who was trapped in the capital, was puzzled by this. Later he learned that it was Ding Rukui, the Minister of War, who was bewitched by Yan Song. He insisted on "not seeking merit and seeking no fault" and ordered the generals to lead their troops to follow the enemy's rear and not to act rashly.
I was captured outside the city for eight days, and the Ming army served as a guard for eight days, sitting back and watching the people wailing indifferently. Liu Yingjie left his anger and dissatisfaction in his words.
Emperor Jiajing in the palace was equally worried. The soldiers of King Qin were reluctant to advance, which was exactly the same as the scene during Hou Jing's rebellion in the Southern Liang Dynasty. Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Dynasty was besieged in Taicheng (Nanjing), and King Qin's soldiers and horses also gathered from all directions, but they refused to advance and just sat back and watched.
He was starved to death. When Emperor Jiajing thought of this, he felt ashamed and angry several times.
Emperor Jiajing thought about it and thought that the top priority was to appease the morale of the army and avoid being passive. So he asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to send people out of the city with supplies to reward King Qin's soldiers. However, barbarians were roaming outside the city, and King Qin's officers and soldiers did not know where they were stationed, so they rushed out of the city this time.
, is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, most likely it will never come back. So when the Ministry of Household Affairs held a meeting, all the officials who knew it well just looked at each other and remained silent without saying a word.
This kind of silence made Liu Yingjie feel ashamed and angry, so he decided to break the dead silence. He took the initiative to ask for help, and angrily said: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, how can I be afraid of death? This is the autumn when the ministers are appointed."
When Liu Yingjie resolutely asked to go, a flag officer who was on the front line took the opportunity to complete his "Prepare My Answers". He hoped that this booklet could play a certain role in fighting the enemy. But until the end of the war,
It was this little book that attracted the attention of the imperial court.
Many years later, Liu Yingjie and this young man named Qi Jiguang would shoulder the burden of defending the northern frontier of the empire.
When the news came out that the head of the household department was leaving the city to work in the army, many officials came to see him off. Some praised his courage, some ridiculed his recklessness, and Liu Yingjie laughed. The country was in danger, and this was just the duty of a minister.
Before leaving, Liu Yingjie knew that his future was unpredictable, so he told his relatives and friends privately about the funeral arrangements. He ordered: "If she still doesn't return the money after seven days, he will send someone to take his mother back home. His hands, feet and hair will be covered with mulberry hemp."
Marking it can be used as a reference when searching for the body, and don't think of blood and sweat as weird."
After the explanation was completed, Liu Yingjie began to plan this "death journey". During the day, barbarians were infested outside the city, so he took advantage of the cover of night to leave the city. Liu Yingjie rode alone in uniform and escorted the carriage, trying to be as quiet as possible. The night fell, and the wilderness was gloomy.
, carriages and horses were rushing among the corpses, and they were staggering and getting up again and again, and they were walking with difficulty. Every time he saw the corpses of people lying in the wilderness, Liu Yingjie would sigh for a long time.
After a long journey, the carriage and horses were tired and thirsty, so Liu Yingjie searched for water wells by the roadside. However, the wells he found were filled with corpses and emitted a stench. When he was hungry and thirsty, he could only drink sewage from the pools on the roadside.
After drinking it, the water entered his throat and was immediately surrounded by a fishy stench. After dawn, he saw that his hands were completely red, and he realized that what he drank last night was blood water.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After arriving at the boundary of Shunyi in the east of the capital, Liu Yingjie met a Jigong Yushi named Xing. Xing Yushi was taking refuge and saw Liu Yingjie coming on a bicycle.
He was inevitably surprised. He asked: "There is a riot outside the city. How do you know where the army is when you go to labor?" Liu Yingjie told him his method of "watching smoke during the day and watching fire at night" to identify the direction. Yushi Xing hurriedly advised: "
The soldiers were looting and burning, and there were also fireworks. Only where there were many fireworks were the officers and soldiers." Liu Yingjie followed his instructions, walked to Miyun, and found the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were delighted when they saw the imperial court sending people to reward them.
Liu Yingjie's trip was full of difficulties and dangers, lasting thirteen days. At that time, there were rumors in the capital that he had been killed, and his family gave up their thoughts and prepared to leave the city to find his body. His wife, Wang, held her son in her arms and cried at the edge of the well: "I'm so hurt, baby."
, If someone says that your father is loyal to the death, I should also be loyal to him to the death."
When Liu Yingjie returned safely, his family members were all happy and excited. When he told about his experiences along the way, his relatives were surprised and happy, and even cried and retreated. Liu Yingjie was silent for a long time and said: "What's the point of the danger you have suffered? Just tens of thousands of Qinwang soldiers can't do anything.
Only by firing an arrow to defeat the enemy, only by following them and sending the barbarians out of the country, and causing misfortune to the people, should we cry bitterly."
When Liu Xian said this, Gao Pangshi suddenly remembered that it seemed that this autumn, Governor Tan Lun of Jiliao was about to be promoted back to Beijing. Later, he was even appointed Minister of War as Prime Minister of Rongzheng, and the person who replaced Tan Lun as Governor of Jiliao was Liu Yingjie.
Do you want to use this incident as an excuse to have a relationship with Liu Yingjie? Although he is the same year as Zhang Juzheng, historically he was "assigned" by Zhang Juzheng to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing because he offended Feng Bao in the second year of Wanli. This shows that he and Zhang Juzheng
In fact, the relationship between Qi and Qi was not very close, but he was indeed very capable, and had a good relationship with Qi Jiguang. The two cooperated in civil and military affairs and built hollow enemy towers, which had a very good effect in strengthening Jiliao's defense.
Anyway, Qi Jiguang is also a figure that Gao Pragmatic must win over. If possible, wouldn't it be better to win over Liu Yingjie as well?
But, how to talk about this matter to Liu Yingjie?
