Chapter 400: The Wind Rises

All the things that happened in the capital were before Wei Zhongxian's imperial envoy set off, Shan Ying asked Ding Tai and the others to send a secret letter to Shenmu County. So half a month later, another fast horse in Shenmu County drove out and headed straight to Hekou Fort.

When Gao Jin received the news in Shuofang City, he calculated the day and Wei Zhongxian's team had already set off for more than twenty days.

For Gao Jin, who regarded Hetao as his rear, he actually didn't care about Emperor Wanli's suspicion about him, but since Wei Zhongxian came in person, he should have met him in person. This time he was studied by the censors, and the censors followed up to imprison him for punishment. However, Emperor Wanli was not so stupid that he was confused. Although he did not trust him and did not transfer him to Liaodong to quell the rebellion, he also sent Wei Zhongxian to convey the order to give him favor.

"You all take a look!"

Gao Jin threw the secret letter in his hand to the generals in his hand for circulating it, and it was a sudden uproar. No one was fool. The emperor obviously distrusts the Protector and their Shuofang Army. Not to mention Chen Shengwang Dou and the old brothers closest to Gao Jin, even Cao Wenzhao, the general who had just gained a foothold in the Shuofang Army, also felt that the emperor was too much.

Let them not use Shuofang Army, and let the Yansui Army move to Liaodong, and at the same time mobilize elite soldiers from all over the country. But the key is whether there are elite soldiers in various places? Cao Wenzhao from the south is not clear, but Liaodong has been crippled. He knows the most about what kind of morality the officers and soldiers of Xuanda are. However, he can have a lot of elite soldiers. As for the three sides of Shaanxi, there is no one who can fight except the Grand Protector.

"Second brother, the emperor treats us as thieves!"

Wang Doutou, who was in a fierce temper, shouted, and then Zhang Chonggu and others agreed. As for the Mongolian generals, they even started to scold. They had no loyalty and fear of the Ming Emperor. In their eyes, most of them should be the emperor.

Chen Sheng still didn't say a word, but just looked at Cao Wenzhao. The second brother valued this person very much. The Eight Hundred Beiwei Army also selected a soldier from the Shuofang army to him. If he was not on the same mind as them, even if he was brave and good at fighting, what would it be?

Cao Wenzhao was like the generals. He was a simple warrior. The Protector had the kindness of being aware of him. He was like a fish in the Shuofang army. In addition, he usually had a good personal relationship with Zhang Chonggu and Hu Yanping, so he naturally knew the Protector's ambitions, so he naturally expressed his loyalty at this time.

As for He Renlong behind Cao Wenzhao, he was also the same. He was born as a martial Jinshi, but he wasted ten years in the Pojun Fort where he could not shit down in Guyuan Town. He had no ability and could not perform his job, and he could not be promoted with credit. It was better to be a small soldier in the Shuofang Army.

Looking at the generals who were in a turbulent relationship, Gao Jin raised his hand and suddenly the tent became quiet. "Since the court does not want me to fight the Donglu, and wants me to ease the grassland tribes, let's go to the Liaohe River to take a look."

At present, most of the Mongolian tribes on the grassland have surrendered to Gao Jin. Apart from the fifth camp of Shuofang and the white horse cavalry and Beiwei camp, the Da cavalry under him have already included 17,000 cavalrymen, and these are elites who are trained in full-time, far exceeding the so-called Qiexue army in each division.

In the field of fighting in the plains, Gao Jin was confident that his command of more than 20,000 soldiers was enough to defeat the Ming army of more than 100,000. He originally wanted to fight the Eight Banners of the Jurchens of Jianzhou old slaves and try how strong the Shuofang Army is now. But since Emperor Wanli was suspicious of him, he also took this opportunity to completely take over the Mongolian troops.

"Wu Keshan."

Gao Jin looked at Wu Keshan, who brought his personal guards and warriors from the army to travel thousands of miles from Korqin to join him last winter.

"Protector."

Wu Keshan hurriedly stepped out of the generals. Under the tent of the Dadu Protector, the Mongolian and Han generals were not distinguished from each other. They were all good men who appreciate each other. After he came to the Shuofang Army, he made many friends. However, although he was a commander of thousands of men, he had not yet made contributions in front of the Dadu Protector, which made him deeply regretful.

"You come to join me thousands of miles away, and I also regard you as my beloved general. This time, the old slave plunders in Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely mobilize heavy troops to wipe out Jianzhou. I am afraid that the Korqin tribe will not see the general trend and send troops to help the old slave, but it will be difficult for you to do at that time."

Gao Jin said to Wu Keshan that among the Mongolian generals under his command, Wu Keshan is a rare talent, and the Korqin tribe is also considered a majority in Liaohetao, so he will not allow Korqin to continue to fall to Jianzhou old slaves.

"Major Protector, the point of your horse whip is where my sharp arrows are, and the Korqin tribe is, I will never show mercy."

Wu Keshan said without hesitation that he saw the tribes in Hetao. In winter, no elderly, weak and hungry died of death. The herdsmen lived and worked in peace, and even settled down to plant grass to feed cattle and sheep. They were cared for by veterinarians from the Han area. There were few animals who died of illness, so that their Mongolian children could also attend classes in the school.

The Protector also purchased the most valuable wool and subsidized money to the herdsmen of various ministries. Goods from the Ming Dynasty are no longer as scarce as before. Every household can use iron pots and put on new clothes. What Wu Keshan saw and heard made him believe that the grassland would end the war and disputes at the hands of the Protector.

Seeing Wu Keshan kneeling on the ground, the Mongolian generals among the generals also shouted, "Good statement!" They were the same as Wu Keshan. If their tribe and the Great Protector were enemies, they would be willing to wipe out the old subordinates for the Great Protector.

"I have seen your loyalty, as your lord, I will not allow such things to happen."

Gao Jin looked at the Mongolian generals under his command. These people had been in the Shuofang Army for a long time and no longer recognized the lives and traditions of the Mongols in the past. This was the assimilation of the advanced against backwardness, and the conquest of the prosperity against poverty.

The Hetao tribes and Tuman tribes centered on Shuofang City, their herders were already accustomed to Gao Jinfu's new lifestyle. If there were still noble people who privately opposed him to make a rebellion, he would not need to send out a soldier or a soldier. These soldiers under Nuoyan and Taiji would cut off the heads of their masters and offer them to themselves to prove their loyalty.

"Wu Keshan, we Han people have a saying, 'If you don't return home without wealth, you will be like walking in the night in a brocade clothes.' You are my general. When you return to Korqin with glory and promote the mighty and benevolence of Shuofang, I will give you three soldiers of thousands of households. Go back to Korqin, tell your father, tell your father, tell the Taiji of the Korqin tribes that you are the beloved general of my Shuofang Protector Gao Jin, and the future master of the Korqin tribe. If they oppose you, they will oppose me."

Gao Jinchao was excited by Wu Keshan, who said that in the future, he would redefine the order of the grassland, let these generals become the masters of each tribe, and then change the land and return the land to the current, and all households and the people are all connected, so that the entire Mongolian territory will be completely returned to China.

"I wish to die for the Protector."

Not only Wu Keshan, but the other Mongolian generals also knelt down and shouted that the Protector could treat Wu Keshan like this today, so he would also treat them the same way.

"Get up."

With Gao Jin's order, everyone stood up one after another, and Wu Keshan made up his mind that if the old guys in the ministry dared to oppose the Protectorate, he would put them all on the wooden stakes.

"Arseleng, Wenzhao, you accompany Wu Keshan to the Korqin tribe. Before our army reaches the Liaohe River, you must listen to him."

The Korqin tribe also had ten otoks, which could gather seven or eight thousand troops. Gao Jin asked Wu Keshan to go back and subdue the Korqin tribe. Cao Wenzhao led Beiwei to suppress the formation, and three thousand people were enough to suppress the Korqin tribe.

"The last general takes the order."

Cao Wenzhao said loudly, he knew that the Great Protector was giving him the opportunity to train troops, and He Renlong behind him was even more excited. The rules of the Shuofang Army were to be promoted as long as he made a contribution. He was determined to be the deputy general of Beiweiying.

"Yes, Protector."

Arslen was also very happy. He and his warriors were crazy about fighting these days. Among the Mongolian tribes, Wei Lat was the poorest, so they were the ones with the most fighting. They had been under the command of the Great Protector for half a year and had enough food and drink all day long. On weekdays, they had no war except training. They all felt ashamed of the Great Protector.

After the generals dispersed, Wu Keshan and Cao Wen ordered them to go and rectify their troops, while Chen Sheng and others stayed.

"Second brother, Wu Keshan goes to Korchin's tribe, are there a fewer three thousand soldiers?"

"Three thousand people, a lot."

Gao Jin knew Chen Sheng was worried, "Wu Keshan led many troops, so those in the Korqin tribe who turned to Jianzhou might not have the courage to jump out."

"I'm going back and staying for a while, and I'll hand over the White Horse Rider to Commander Asheng, and continue training without stopping."

"Second brother, according to me, the emperor is not at ease, so we can just turn against it."

There were no outsiders in the tent, and the king was much more daring. They all knew the ambition of the second brother. At present, the emperor was just afraid of the second brother. If the imperial army continued to lose in Liaodong next, they would be transferred to deal with the old slave in Jianzhou. If they won, they were afraid that the emperor would attack the second brother.

"If you are talking too much, you will talk too much."

Seeing that Wang Dou was not speaking properly, Chen Sheng frowned and cursed, although they were about to rebel sooner or later, his second brother didn't say anything, so Wang Dou's turn was to talk nonsense.

Gao Jin couldn't help laughing. Among his old brothers, Wang Dou and others were all a little arrogant, but fortunately Chen Sheng could control them.

After Chen Sheng and the others left, Gao Jin called Hou San and the officials of the Protectorate's Office again. These were all iron-clad rebels, and almost everyone was hoping that he would start a rebellion as soon as possible.

"They have always been mean and polite. If General Du wins in Liaodong, it would be fine. If he loses, the court will definitely ask the escorts to lead troops to wipe out Jianzhou. At that time, the food and grass will be cut off..."

It has to be said that there are not many people who can finally stand firm under Gao Jin's hands. After reading the secret letter, they guessed the thoughts of Emperor Wanli.
