Chapter 34: First Encounter with Wu Sangui

"On June 20, the garrison officer paid one or two or four coins, and went up to the female wall to see the majestic wind outside the pass, the wall was no more than eight feet high, and the number of soldiers was not more than 50, when the mountain wind was mighty, and the mountains in the distance were surrounded by mist, like the waves of the Bohai Sea in the extreme typhoon surging ......."

"On June 24, the official office of the control system learned that from now on, pine nuts, hazel mushrooms, animal skins and other mountain goods outside the customs are taken, and six silver coins are required for each transaction, which is the payment of silver after the regular tax, and the name of the control official is Liu Jian, who is vulgar and lustful.

On the 9th of July, the people who had gone out of the city returned, and I counted very well, one hundred and twenty-seven people went out, and two hundred and eighty-nine returned, and I decided to meet those who had not left the city but had returned to the city......"

On July 10, he met Wang Xiong, and talked with him about the fur business outside the Guanhai in the restaurant with 400 yuan, Wang Xiong was drunk and said that the best skins were in the hands of Jiannu, and if you wanted to get these goods, you needed to have a relationship with the Wu steward. ”

On July 11, he was worshiped by Wu Xiao, the steward of Wu's outer house, but there was no news.

On July 14, Wu Xiao was once again presented with two gold leaves, and he had to respond - wait!

On July 15, Wu Xiao was arrested in the brothel of Beichunlou, and returned to the safe house for interrogation for seven days.

On the 2nd day of the first month of August, the Four Seas Merchant issued 67 taels of silver and issued a customs order...... Temptation to make contact with Kennu!

Han Lingshan stayed in the back house for three days, and after he came out, he said to Wen Yushan: "Those things are too dangerous for you, I have destroyed them all." ”

Wen Yushan chuckled and said, "I've already memorized it in my head." ”

Han Lingshan sighed and said, "I've wronged you." ”

Wen Yushan put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "I'm waiting for the moment when the Lantian army arrives at Shanhaiguan." ”

Han Lingshan said: "Shanhaiguan is not important, what matters is the people here, you must understand that any strong city is just a pile of bricks for my Lantian army, and the people in it are even more important......

The Great Wall, the Great Wall, as long as you see this thing, it makes people's hearts mixed. ”

Wen Yushan said: "The exit document has been completed, Lao Han, you are not an adventurous person, why do you have to go out of the customs this time, I don't think there is anything to discuss with Jiannu."

The only way we can talk to Kennu is through swords and artillery. ”

Han Lingshan didn't explain to Wen Yushan, not because he couldn't believe him, but because Wen Yushan shouldn't think like this at all.

Wen Yushan saw Han Lingshan's gloomy face, so he sighed and stopped asking, in the next ten days of waiting to leave the customs, Han Lingshan looked at the entire Guancheng in the name of Nanjing Guozi Prison Supervisor.

Shanhaiguan is actually a military fortress with the Great Wall as the main body, Shanhaiguan City as the core, and Dongluo City, Xiluo City, Left Wing City, and Right Wing City as the surrounding military fortresses.

On the Great Wall line with a total length of 52 miles, there are 129 castles, passes, enemy platforms, city platforms, beacon towers and pier platforms on the Great Wall line with a total length of 52 miles, constituting a complete Great Wall defense system.

The whole city pass lies on this narrow passage between Yanshan and the sea, and in terms of architectural layout, it is really worthy of his name of "the first pass in the world".

On this line of defense, the imperial court needed to spend four million taels of silver every year...... Out of this city, the cities of Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Dalinghe and other cities outside are not so much the cities of the Ming Dynasty as the home cities of the generals of Liaodong.

Han Lingshan stood on top of the Great Wall and faced the hunting sea breeze, stroking the rough battlements and muttering, "Compared to these people, the county lord is really too kind. ”

Through Wen Yushan's records, Han Lingshan came to a very clear judgment that the soldiers on the defense line outside the Guanwai today do not belong to the imperial court, but to the border generals, whose names are family soldiers, and almost all the farmers outside the city are tenants of the border generals, and each border general is a person with a net worth of countless people.

On the one hand, they looked down on Jiannu and thought that they were savages, and on the other hand, they also looked down on the imperial court, believing that the imperial court was weak and incompetent, and it was in their best interests to keep the current situation unchanged.

If Jiannu wasn't so powerful, and Da Ming wasn't so desperate to throw money here, they would probably have established themselves as kings a long time ago.

Han Lingshan doesn't know how long the current situation can last, and it is not Shanhaiguan itself that determines the fate of Shanhaiguan, but the imperial court, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even Lantian County.

There was a sound of muttering boots behind him, and a team of armor soldiers went up to the Great Wall from the women's wall, and Han Lingshan humbly got out of the way and bowed his hand.

"Who are you?"

A Qingyue voice came, and Han Lingshan followed the prestige to see a young general standing in front of him wearing a phoenix-winged forehead helmet, wearing a mountain-patterned fish scale armor and a short beard, looking at him with blazing eyes.

"The student Han Lingshan is a student of Nanjing Guozi Prison."

"What is the matter with coming to Shanhaiguan?"

"Study tour!"

The young general snorted and said, "What an excuse." Then he scolded left and right: "This is an important place for military aircraft, how can you easily let people come up?" ”

Han Lingshan saw that he bowed his head left and right without saying a word, so he said with some annoyance: "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles, this is the right of the great Ming scholars, if I have the intention, with the Guozi Jian in my arms, even General Wu's White Tiger Festival Hall can also walk, how can I not climb the Great Wall to nostalgia." ”

The young general glanced at Han Lingshan and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to enter General Wu's White Tiger Festival Hall." ”

After despising Han Lingshan, he said to the general on his left hand: "This is your negligence, take the staff thirty." ”

The general looked at Han Lingshan viciously, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "The last general takes the order!" ”

Han Lingshan looked at the young general and said, "General, these thirty canes should still beat me." ”

The young general was surprised for a moment and said, "You are the prisoner of the Guozi Prison, you can't beat it." ”

Han Lingshan said: "The students have been beaten by 30 boards in Lantian County, and another 30 boards in Shanhaiguan are exactly one east and one west, which contrasts with each other. ”

The young general sighed and said, "You provoked Yun Zhao in Lantian County? ”

Han Lingshan said: "I accidentally peeked into his Phoenix Mountain military camp, it didn't matter originally, but the student was naturally bold, so he sneaked into the barracks, ready to take a closer look, and before entering, he was captured alive. ”

The young general waved his hand to spare the general once, and looked at Han Lingshan with interest and said, "Since you have seen the military power of Yunzhao, then, how do you think the military formation of Lantian County is compared to my Liaodong athletes?" ”

Han Lingshan sighed deeply, turned to look at the undulating ocean, and whispered, "You are all strong, but Your Majesty is weak. ”

The young general came to Han Lingshan's side and said, "I will not be more than a hundred, and I will not be more than 10,000 soldiers, how can I call it powerful." ”

Han Lingshan did not answer the young general's words, but changed the topic and said, "I want to go to Jianzhou to see!" ”

The young general said, "What to see? Ready to join the slaves? ”

Han Lingshan shook his head and said: "My parents, wife and children are in the Central Plains, I just want to go to the land of tigers and wolves to see what those savages can rely on to make my Ming so miserable." ”

The young general smiled and said, "Jiannu recently established the Hongwen Academy, do you want to try your luck there?" ”

Han Lingshan said: "Han Mou didn't think he was shameless to that point. ”

The young general smiled: "That's because you haven't fought with Jiannu, and when you see Jiannu, you may not think so, you people, always look down on yourself, thinking that your ambition is noble, and there is nowhere to be contaminated with dust, but unfortunately, as long as the knife is on the neck, the knee is bent faster than anyone else." ”

Han Lingshan looked at the long knife that appeared on his neck at some point and smiled: "My legs are not bent. ”

The young general laughed and said, "But, you have sweat on your head. ”

Han Lingshan said angrily: "My legs are not bent!" ”

A personal soldier raised his leg and kicked Han Lingshan's knee, and he fell to his knees with a pop, but he still tilted his head and said, "My leg is not bent." ”

The young general looked down at Han Lingshan and said, "Do you really want to go to Jianzhou to have a look?" ”

Han Lingshan gritted his teeth and said: "The family teacher said that the master and slave have the long skill to control slaves!" ”

The young general frowned and said: "According to what you mean, you have seen Lantian County and come to my Liaodong again, then, have you been to Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong?" ”

Han Lingshan said: "I saw the prosperity of all regions beyond the Ming Dynasty in Lantian County, in Li Hongji I saw countless blind people building siege ladders with their bodies, and biting the Ming Dynasty with their lives, and I saw countless people riding horses in Zhang Bingzhong, they turned themselves into devils, and blood flowed everywhere they went, in Liaodong, I saw a dead silence, everyone only lives for today, regardless of tomorrow's things."

If I could go to Jianzhou and see it for myself, I would know the real reason why the world is so chaotic. ”

The young general lowered his head and pondered for a while, stood in front of the female wall with his hands behind his back and looked at the rough sea for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I can send someone to send you to Liaodong, but if you come back, I mean if, if you can still come back, tell me what you saw in Jianzhou." ”

Han Lingshan struggled to stand up and said categorically: "A word is a certainty!" ”

The young general threw a waist card to Han Lingshan and said: "With this thing, you can cross my Daming defense line and go to Jianzhou, I don't know if Jiannu will kill you, everything depends on your luck." ”

Han Lingshan looked at the word 'Wu' wrapped in clouds on his waist card and hugged his fist and said, "I don't know if it's the general of the Wu family?" ”

The young general said: "A certain Wu Sangui, the word is long." ”

Han Lingshan's gaze stopped on Wu Sangui's face for a long time, and after a long time, he arched his hand and said: "The young hero who bravely saved his father, disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Go and see Jiannu for me, I also want to know why Jiannu can rely on thirteen pairs of armor to achieve such a great cause!" ”

After speaking, he took his subordinates along the Great Wall to the Nine Gates.

Han Lingshan looked at Wu Sangui's distant back and said to himself: "In this way, the probability of Lao Tzu going to Jianzhou and coming back alive has increased to eighty percent, and such a probability can still be gambled." ”
