Li Gunaha sighed: "The Ministry of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty has no money, and the border troops in Shanhaiguan, Liaodong Dusi and other places are seriously short of military pay. Although the border generals in the Ming Dynasty will trade with us, most of them use the money to fill military pay.
, very few people put it into their personal pockets.”
After a pause, "Of course, there are also people who are greedy and greedy."
Chen Ruyan was greatly moved when he heard this.
fine.
There is still hope for the border troops.
Asked: "How is Han Bin, the Shanhaiguan guard who just extorted twenty thousand taels of banknotes from us?"
Li Gunaha's face became solemn, "If I go south in the future, Han Bin will definitely be the strongest obstacle to my Jurchen cavalry. His ability and character will never be inferior to those of Zhao Fu and Zhu Yong, but I will definitely kill him if I have the chance."
he."
Chen Ruyan was puzzled, "Since he has such ability, he will be promoted to the commander of the local capital sooner or later, and may even become the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Office. Why should he let us go out of seclusion? Aren't we afraid of being held accountable by the capital?"
This move is jeopardizing your future.
Li Gunaha smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Chen Shangshu, you have also served in the Ministry of War. Don't you know what these 50,000 treasure notes mean to the Shanhaiguan garrison? Compared with the stability brought by these 50,000 taels to the Shanhaiguan garrison.
, your few heads are really not worth mentioning to Han Bin. More importantly, if you don’t break up with me, as long as there is no war, we Jurchens will continue to do business with the defenders of Shanhaiguan."
This means that the Jurchens helped the Ming Dynasty pay for the army.
Chen Ruyan suddenly said: "What is your real purpose in entering the customs this time?"
It is impossible for Li Gunaha to enter the border just to save Menda and Lu Lu.
There must be a more ulterior purpose.
Li Gunaha was silent for a while, "What is the most coveted thing in the entire Ming Dynasty?"
Lu Lu on the side said: "Dongfeng series!"
Chen Ruyan was shocked, "Did you get it?"
Li Gunaha chuckled, "What else?"
Chen Ruyan secretly complained in his heart, if the Jurchens possess the manufacturing technology of Dongfeng firearms - wait, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Chen Ruyan's heart. With the size of the Ming Dynasty, it took many years to build 20,000 Dongfeng rifles, and these 20,000 were only
In two battles, more than a third of it was scrapped, and after another one or two, I'm afraid it will all be scrapped.
So how big can a Jurchen be built?
The key is how much steel can the Jurchens have?
This is a good thing!
If you are on the Jurchen side, you can encourage Li Gunaha to produce Dongfeng rifles. When Li Gunaha expands to the Mongolian tribes in the west, most of the Jurchen army's rifles will be scrapped after war after war.
There was not enough steel for them to replenish, but the Jurchens, who lacked weapons, were like lambs to be slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty can reap the benefits of being a fisherman.
Chen Ruyan even had a hunch that His Highness the Crown Prince thought the same way and wanted to use the Dongfeng Rifle to drag the Jurchens to death and reduce the damage in the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the Jurchens.
After all, my exit this time went really smoothly.
It's not at all like His Highness the Crown Prince's style of preparing for a rainy day.
…
…
Shanhaiguan, above Guancheng.
Han Bin, who was almost 40 years old, stood with his hands behind his hands and said to the deputy general standing behind him: "If the fifty thousand taels lost by Li Gunaha to buy the road are used as military pay, the men can have a fulfilling winter this year."...
.
Lieutenant General Liu Fu, the second son of Liu Ju, the commander-in-chief of the right army of the Fifth Army Commandant's Mansion.
The great-nephew of the eunuch Liu Yongcheng.
This background is very strong.
Liu Yongcheng, because he stood unswervingly on the side of Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Jianji during the Shiheng turmoil, although he has not been transferred in official positions in recent years, this does not hinder Liu Yongcheng's status as the number one internal servant.
Especially after Xing'an's death, Shu Liang was still in his infancy.
Liu Yongcheng's status is unshakable.
Moreover, Liu Yongcheng's nephew Liu Ju was not mediocre either. During the battle to defend Beijing, Liu Ju fought bloody battles at Xizhimen.
It's a pity that it's not as good as Shi Heng's
Dazzling.
But Liu Ju has one advantage: he has a long life.
In view of various circumstances, Liu Fu was appointed deputy general in Shanhaiguan purely for gold plating. With some experience in leading border troops, he only needed an opportunity to return to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to serve.
Liu Fu laughed when he heard this and said: "In the case of Han Qian, for the sake of military pay, he let go of so many serious criminals. I'm afraid it will be difficult for His Highness the Crown Prince to explain. He might be held accountable and his official position will not be guaranteed."
Liu Fu was only in his twenties. For such a young lieutenant under Han Bin, it was obvious that Liu Ju had taken care of it and asked Han Bin to help take care of him. Therefore, the two of them interacted with each other on weekdays, actually like a master and apprentice.
Han Bin heard this and said, "Although we are border generals, we can't just march troops and fight. You should have heard about things in Gyeonggi. Isn't it strange that His Highness the Crown Prince has made such a major mistake in his layout over the years? Then
Is it easy for Menda and Lu Lu to take Chen Ruyan from Shanhaiguan to Jurchen? Do you believe it or not, I will send the last letter to Qianqing Palace to inform Chen Ruyan, Menda and Lulu after they ran away from Shanhaiguan.
Your Highness can remove me immediately!"
Liu Fudao: "So...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately let them out? But His Highness the Crown Prince did not give us any news. Aren't Han Qian's affairs afraid of realizing that the holy will is wrong?"
Han Bin laughed and laughed, "It doesn't matter if I'm wrong. Menda, Lu Lu and Chen Ruyan have three heads. I don't have 50,000 taels of treasure to help Erlang survive the cold winter."
Liu Fu thought about it, "Fifty thousand taels is really a lot. Is Li Gunaha a fool? He actually gave out 50,000 taels for the heads of Menda, Lu Lu and Chen Ruyan."
Chen Ruyan can understand, after all, he is one of the Nine Qings of the Ming Dynasty.
It's talent.
But Menda and Lu Lu were of no use to the Jurchens.
Han Bin shook his head, "I think Chen Ruyan's three heads are not worth fifty thousand taels, so there must be something more valuable in Li Gunaha's body."
After a pause, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. I guess Li Gunaha obtained the forging technology of Dongfeng Rifle through careful craftsmanship."
Liu Fu said oh.
These things are just Han Bin's ideas.
The forging technology of the Dongfeng Rifle is so precious. His Royal Highness has been guarding it tightly for a long time. How could Li Gunaha steal it so easily? Besides, if this were the case, would His Highness not pursue it with all his strength?
I'm afraid that all the regiment and camp will be chased out of the seclusion!
Thinking of this, Liu Fu looked solemn, "If the technology of Dongfeng Rifle is really stolen, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely find the person who takes the blame after knowing that Chen Ruyan and Li Gunaha are out of confinement."
Han Bin nodded: "Yes, after all, acting also needs to be more realistic."
Han Bin had already seen it.
His Highness the Crown Prince is deliberately letting Chen Ruyan, Menda and Lu Lu go to Jurchen. Otherwise, with the strength of Shanhaiguan troops, Li Gunaha will never be able to get out.
It’s just that the relationship between Shanhaiguan and the Jurchens is indeed a bit tenuous.
Han Bin added: "Liu Fu, if you want to make great contributions like your father, then never leave Liaodong and Shanhaiguan in the past few years. Before and after the recapture of Annan, the Ming Dynasty will definitely launch a military campaign against the Jurchens!"
..
When is the autumn wind sad and painted on the fan?
