Chapter 248 Jurchen First Beauty
Yang Dashuai still knew nothing about what happened in the ice and snow in the distant north.
But the North Koreans did annoy him.
The main reason is that they always ran to the Purple Gold Mountain to cry tomb in batches, and then hanged themselves after crying, so that the crooked tree there was overwhelmed.
There is also a lot of discussion among the people.
After all, every figure hanging on the crooked tree of Xiaoling Mausoleum is arousing the feelings of the people of Nanjing to be awe of the great power.
It is indeed very touching to be so loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, crying and hanging up will not change the principle of Yang Damashang. The rescue mission for North Korea has been handed over to Li Rusong. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not send troops, and more than 100,000 troops from Liaodong were to rescue them. Even if they cried and hanging up, they would only give Li Rusong the emperor's order to supervise Li Rusong, but it is really not something that the emperor could decide when Li Rusong will rescue...
"Can you hurry up!"
Yang Feng said dissatisfiedly to Li Ruzhen who came to receive the salary.
The latter came to collect the millions.
The silver reserves in the imperial palace in the capital were limited, and since the emperor went south, many officials in the capital fled. Although there was no problem with the supply of food, the economic situation was quite depressed. Even those boatmen turned into militias who opened land and farmed at this time. The city was quickly restored to its original appearance and transformed into a border city. The taxes sent to the capital from all over the place were getting less and less, while the military expenditure of the Beijing camp and various investments in the militia area were constantly consuming the imperial palace's deposit.
By the way, nine thousand years old is also hard to support.
In fact, the capital now has to rely on Nanjing's supplies, but the current shipping to the north is troublesome due to the interruption of seasons.
So give this trouble to others!
Yang Dashui promised that the money given to each vassal state would be sent to Nanjing to collect the money they had every year, and then they could find a way to transport it back.
Du Song and others had already come to take them away, and they were still eating at both ends of the north.
However, because they are increasingly worried about the Japanese army's crossing the sea to harass, their cavalry are very popular in Shandong. Only 10,000 are in Huaibei, and the other 10,000 are stationed in Denglai and Jiaozhou. In fact, to be precise, they are eating the meals of the three families, and they are very happy.
All have started rotation.
After all, this kind of beautiful life is also envious of those in the northern towns.
Li Ruzhen came on behalf of his brother, and there were also a thousand elite cavalrymen who were traveling with him. After all, they wanted to protect this million taels from Nanjing and transport them back to Liaodong.
This guy who snatched his wild boar skin fiancée smiled slightly...
"Kaiyuan Bo, my brother is preparing, but the Japanese army has more than 100,000 troops entering North Korea, and Liaodong has limited troops, so you have to prepare safely."
He said.
His brother was not ready to save Li Bing at all.
Even if Japan conquers North Korea, it will not be possible to threaten Liaodong, although in theory they can indeed invade Liaodong.
But I believe that the result of the Battle of Bitiguan has already made them very clear.
Moreover, they had to digest it for a while after eating North Korea this time. Li Rusong did not think that the Japanese would threaten his territory.
He even wanted to watch the Japanese deal with the Jurchens.
The last time the Japanese army had actually crossed the Tumen River. Kato Kiyomasa's Second Army crossed the Tumen River and killed many Haixi Jurchens. Li Rusong would rather see them threaten the Jurchens again, and then force the Jurchens to ask him for help and then he gained benefits from it, and could also weaken the Jurchens and help him control the Jurchens better. So he has been watching the fun during this period.
"I haven't prepared for a year yet? We are all our own people. Just say whatever you want. But it is definitely wrong to keep watching Li Bing be bullied by the Japanese. Although Liaodong has given it to you, don't forget that I still give you money every year. After all, you have to do things for the court. You can't take the money but do nothing."
Yang Feng said.
"But who will spend the battle in North Korea?"
Li Ruzhen said with a smile.
"You guys solve it yourself, don't think about asking for one or two more silver from me. Are you still going to play bandits in North Korea and let me keep filling you with bottomless pits?"
Yang Feng said very directly.
Whenever this hole is opened, Li Rusong is really capable of doing this.
"Kaiyuan Bo, Liaodong is a poor place."
"Last year, when it was sold to Guannei Guang ginseng for more than one million taels?"
"Well, that was acquired from Jiannu, we just made some hard money."
"I bought a 100-pound iron pot in Jiannu? You can earn a little bit of money with your hard work!"
"Well, Liaodong iron pot is not cheap either."
"Your iron pot is made by yourself, right? Are there more than 10,000 people mining now in Dongshan, Liaoyang? Can your iron pot cost more than one cent? I remember you all cast your own cannons? Although it has nothing to do with me to bully the Jurchens, it is not good to lie to me. Don't be nonsense with me. I am Kaiyuan. Do you think I don't know anything about your messy things?"
Yang Feng said.
Liaodong's salt and iron industry is now very prosperous.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was originally a Yantian and iron smelting base in Liaodong, and the Dongshan Iron Mine in Liaoyang, which was actually the Gongchangling open-pit iron ore.
When Xiong Tingbi was in Liaoyang in the late Ming Dynasty, there were already thousands of mine disciples.
After Li Rusong became a warlord, in order to satisfy the major families in Liaodong that depended on him, various restrictions have been completely relaxed, and even the salt industry has ignored it. Hereditary generals in various places have quickly become industrial and commercialized, and several families in Liaoyang have already engaged in iron smelting. These iron tools have become the main products for their trade with the Mongolian Jurchens. They exchanged cheap iron tools for the latter's fur, cattle, sheep, ginseng, deer antlers and other goods in their hands, and then sold them to mainland merchants at high prices. At present, this kind of trade is very prosperous.
As for the military households below, military registration has been abolished according to the Wanli imperial edict.
In this way, he quickly gained the support of the generals and the support of military households. After all, they knew better than anyone else about why Liaodong was corrupt.
It's even what they did.
But now Liaodong has become their own, so it will be the same immediately.
In the past, they even deliberately exploited and forced military households to flee and occupy land, but now the population in their hands is the guarantee of their strength. Not only will they not force military households to flee, but they will plunder the population from Mongolia and Jurchens.
After all, your mentality is different.
"That post-war North Korea..."
Li Ruzhen wanted to speak but stopped.
"Ah, you want North Korea, let me say it earlier."
Yang Feng smiled.
Li Ruzhen also smiled.
"You can consider it. It's just half of you and Li Yong's family. Speaking of which, it's time to ask you to save him. It's okay for him to take out half of the territory to give you rewards. Otherwise, they don't even have half. Let me look at the map of North Korea. Let's draw a line from here and make everything North Korea into two. Give him to the south. Seoul will be his royal city after all, and keep it for him, but the city will be yours."
Yang Feng took the map of North Korea and directly drew a charcoal pen on the 38th line.
Then he pushed Li Ruzhen...
"How about it?"
He said.
Anyway, it was because of the mercy of others. Besides, Li Bing had no other choice at this time. As for the consequences of Li Rusong's gain of North Korea...
He will get the boar skin first.
"The official thanks Kaiyuanbo for his gift!"
Li Ruzhen stood up without hesitation and said.
"Don't be so polite. Just say whatever you want in the future. By the way, I heard that you came with your concubine, or the most beautiful Jurchen girl. I'll let me see it one day."
Yang Feng said.
"Uh, if Kaiyuan doesn't dislike you, you can stay and serve you."
Li Ruzhen said readily.
"A gentleman does not take away the favors of others. Since he is your concubine, he is just like my sister-in-law. There is no need to do this."
"It's just a barbarian woman. If it weren't for the pressure from my brother, I really didn't want it. They didn't take a shower. They lacked medical treatment and medicine. It would be better in summer. If you accidentally get sick in the autumn and winter, you can really lose your life. Although it would be fine if you wash it clean, you can't take care of it in a hurry. I endured the nausea. I didn't recover from it half a month later, and I wanted to vomit after seeing her."
"Then your sacrifice is quite great!"
Yang Feng sighed.
Li Ruzhen nodded with a deep sense of agreement.
But in fact, he did sacrifice a lot. This bastard was in the capital with Wanli as the Jinyiwei, and he was also the hereditary commander.
I was used to the warm and soft days in the capital.
It was indeed a bit difficult for him to ask him to attack such a No. 1 Jurchen beauty.
"Master General, the capital city turned to Guangning Bo, and the Japanese slaves crossed the Yalu River and captured Changdian Fort. The Korean king fled to Zhenjiang Fort. Yizhou was trapped. The Japanese slaves marched north from Pyongyang."
A staff officer rushed in and reported.
Li Ruzhen was stunned for a moment.
"This is impossible. The Japanese are obviously still in Pyongyang!"
He said.
Then he grabbed the memorial.
Memorials from the capital must be reviewed first at Kaiyuan Bo and then sent to the cabinet, but Li Rusong's memorials are very rare.
Yang Feng smiled deeply from the side.
It seems that Li Rusong had already had secret contact with the Japanese.
But this is also normal, because Shen Weijing is with him, who is responsible for negotiations with Japan. After the negotiations break down, he returns to the Ming Dynasty. However, the emperor has gone south and the full power of North Korea affairs is handed over to Li Rusong, so he can only go to Li Rusong. Although negotiations are impossible, Li Rusong uses him to secretly contact Japan and reaches any compromise between them.
But this memorial...
Well, this is Li Rusong who specifically told him that he really wanted to send troops to go to war with Japan.
It can be seen that Li Rusong was also very angry. He was restrained from not beating the Japanese. Now that the Japanese actually came to tease him, it was really too much.
"Please rest assured that I, Liaodong soldiers, swear to defend Your Majesty's country to the death, and will never allow Japanese slaves to poison Liaodong."
After reading the memorial, Li Ruzhen said while presenting it with both hands.
"Okay, this is the true nature of my Ming soldiers. I will give you another 500,000, which can be considered as killing the enemy for the Liaodong soldiers."
Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
This is the real purpose of Li Rusong's special memorial.
