[0319 It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God]
"Lord Wu is really good at talking, so he loves to listen to Lord Wu." Luo Yangxing smiled slightly.
Wu Xiang took out a silver ticket from his sleeve, a full 1,000 taels of silver, and said with a smiling face: "Lord Luo has come from afar to travel and travel, this little meaning, drink tea for the brothers." ”
"What's so embarrassing about this, so much to make Lord Wu break the bank?" Luo Yangxing smiled, and naturally took it, this kind of silver, not for nothing.
Knowing that the Wu family stall was in trouble this time, his attitude changed greatly.
In fact, in Liaoxi, the ancestral family of the Wu family doesn't need to be so polite to the eunuchs and their brocade guards, he came back, this Wu Xiang is not this face, it is called a shelf! I don't know, hum, I thought he was the Emperor of the Earth!
No matter how good you are, don't make a fuss.
"It's a little thing, it's nothing." Wu Xiang smiled, so he was not close.
Luo Yangxing and Wu Xiang laughed at the discord between their faces and hearts, which can be regarded as revealing the unhappiness of the last time.
Officialdom, feng shui takes turns, multiple friends have many paths, and no one wants to make enemies.
Wu Xiang flattered Luo's temperament, mainly because these eunuchs went out of the imperial city and did not have much reconnaissance ability, and most of the functions of eyeliner fell on these accompanying Jinyi guards, Dongchang, Zhongyong Battalion, and Jinyiwei, which were originally wearing a pair of pants.
This is just tea money, and when it comes to specific things, you have to spend a lot of money.
Wu Xiang was ready for this trip to have a big bloodletting.
Wu Xiang flattered him all the way, led Tu Wenfu and his party to Funingwei, and had already arranged a grand banquet to catch the wind.
This is also the Wu family, ordinary big families, they are absolutely unable to arrange a luxurious banquet for two or three hundred people to eat and drink at once in this kind of disaster year, and entertaining Tu Wenfu and other big eunuchs cannot be lower than the specifications of the luxurious banquet in the capital.
The people of the Wu family kept going back and forth, allocating good ingredients everywhere, and the rich families were all working together, in order to get the silver back, they were all in a hurry, regardless of the cost.
Wu Xiang is also very satisfied with the attitude of the big families and officials, the official gentry and the official gentry are actually inseparable, and there is Wei Bao who won so much gold and silver from it, everyone is quite a bit united, these big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong have not been so united for a long time.
Which of these official gentry who lie on the military households and peasant households and knock out the bones and suck the marrow is not busy making money? I usually start to argue.
He left someone to greet a group of big eunuchs and thousands of households with brocade guards, and he convened all the officials and gentry to discuss.
"How much money have you taken out today? Let's sum it up and see how much money it will cost. Wu Xiang said to everyone.
When all the big families heard Wu Xiang ask, they all started talking, and each calculated how much silver they had gambled in total, and then began to calculate the general ledger together.
The small households also have hundreds of thousands of taels of betting, mainly these large households, in fact, the number is not much, a total of only one or two hundred, and the accounts are still very easy to calculate.
In addition to the 300,000 taels of gold of the Wu family and the ancestral family, 11.8 million taels of silver were calculated.
Wu Xiang looked at the accounts with a mocking tone: "Is there really so much silver?" You all have enough money, huh? ”
Everyone even said no, where is the Wu family and the ancestral family have silver?
"Lord Wu, if you and your ancestors' silver are added, it must be more than 20 million taels to say the least, right? How much silver should we give to these eunuchs? A big family couldn't help but asked with a bitter face.
Wu Xiang hugged his chest with his hands, did not answer immediately, and was meditating.
All the officials and gentry stopped talking, and all the rich people in Liaoxi and Liaodong gathered here.
No one dares to shoot this board, and they must wait for Wu Xiang to take the lead.
"At least one percent! Scrape together two million taels of silver and see if you can send these people away! After a long time, Wu Xiang made up his mind and said: "Each of you will pay 10% of the silver given to Wei Bao and hand it over to me, I will do it, if it is not enough, we may have to make up the silver!" ”
After hearing Wu Xiang say this, everyone was even more silent, and the needle drop could be heard, and no one dared to speak.
"Lord Wu, it is appropriate to give out the silver, after all, everyone works together, but I am afraid that this money will not be able to do it!" A rich man couldn't help but say.
The other rich men sighed together, and they all said that it made sense.
Wu Xiang nodded: "This is true, with these two million taels of silver, it is unknown whether it can really be done." ”
"If you can come back with half of the silver, forget it, it's too bad."
A group of big families said one after another.
People are like this, before they want to make money, they are arrogant and eager to stake their families.
But once there is a loss, how much can be recovered, and the silver is taken into account.
Like the people who speculated in stocks in later generations, they bought crazy when they rose and sold crazy when they fell.
"Sanfeng, you go to Shanhaiguan immediately and tell your uncle in detail about the matter here." Wu Sangui saw that such a discussion was not a big deal, so he said to Wu Sanfeng.
Wu Sanfeng agreed and went.
"See what General Zu says, right? Okay, right? Wu Xiang said to everyone: "You always have to come up with a way." ”
And they said yes, and then they dispersed.
A group of big eunuchs were eating and drinking in Funingwei, and Fan Datou, Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, Lin Wenbiao and others were still waiting to talk to Tu Wenfu.
Although Fan's head came with Tu Wenfu and his party, after all, his status was low, and he didn't say anything about the way he came, and it was all arranged by Luo Yangxing.
"Don't wait, a few big dukes are drinking happily, and today is definitely gone." Luo Yangxing is humane to Fan with a big head.
"Looking at the posture, these people are going to pull Grandpa Tu and them over, but Grandpa Tu was invited by my son-in-law. It's a pity that Gongzi didn't come, otherwise maybe Father-in-law Tu might meet him. Fan said helplessly.
"Wei Baolai, Father-in-law Tu won't see it, not to mention that Wei Bao is a small rich man in the township, and he is a feudal official who sits in the town. You don't have to see it. Luo Yangxing smiled: "What kind of person is Grandpa Tu?" If you want to see it, you can see it? ”
"If Father-in-law Tu is pulled over by Wu Xiang and their silver, my brother-in-law will be in trouble this time!" Li Chengnei couldn't help but say anxiously.
Although the time to get together with Wei Bao is very short, Wei Bao has a secretariat under him, and someone is dedicated to handling foreign affairs, and everyone who has a relationship with Wei Bao will contact him from time to time, especially Wei Bao, the righteous brother, who wants to send some silver and something every month. Moreover, the new house of Li Chengne's family was given by Wei Bao, and Li Chengnei has always been very grateful, and he really regards Wei Bao as a brother.
If it weren't for Wei Bao, he would be a poor prince with no power, not to mention being able to be a hundred households in Jinyi, and his sons could still study in private schools, that is, he would have enough food and live in a house that did not leak wind and rain, which would be a big problem.
Luo San was stunned, Fan Datou and Liu Chunshi were also very anxious, but they didn't know what to say.
Lin Wenbiao said: "Master Li, wait a while, I will accompany you back to Weijiazhuang in the evening." ”
Li Chengnei nodded and said, "Okay, I'm in a hurry to see my brother-in-law, and I don't know if he is injured." ”
"Childe is not injured, but he is out of strength, and I am afraid it will take several days to recover." Lin Wenbiao said.
Lin Wenbiao is waiting for a detailed report, and he wants to get the first information of the Wu family and a group of wealthy families in Liaoxi and Liaodong!
The Statistics Department has successfully rebelled against a Wu family's own personal soldier and used it as his own eyeliner.
Before Wei Gongzi competed with Wu Sangui, it was this person who gave the medicine.
Wei Bao attaches great importance to the cultivation and construction of the intelligence system, and the money spent accounts for almost 20 percent of the expenses of the Ground Guard, the Escort Force, and the Coast Guard, which is a very astonishing share.
Except for Wei Bao, throughout history, even including future generations, no one will occupy the expenditure of the intelligence system to 20% or 1/5 of the entire military system.
After Lin Wenbiao got the information, he and Li Chengnei rushed back to Shanhaiguan, it was late at night, and Wei Gongzi was still in a groggy state.
After Li Chengnei learned the news, he didn't dare to disturb Wei Bao's rest, and was arranged by Lin Wenbiao to rest at the State Guest House.
In the middle of the afternoon the next day, Li Chengnei went to visit Wei Bao again accompanied by Lin Wenbiao.
Wei Bao was still asleep.
"Childe hasn't woken up yet?" Lin Wenbiao asked worriedly.
"I've woken up several times, and I'm asleep." Fan Xiaolin said distressedly: "Childe seems to be very uncomfortable. Lang Zhong said that there was no big problem, he just needed to recuperate, and he found more than a dozen Lang Zhong, all of whom said so. ”
Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui's eyes were red, and like Fan Xiaolin, the three daughters didn't sleep all night, and they took turns to take care of Wei Bao.
Wei Bao also has dozens of personal female secretaries of the secretariat, and there is no shortage of manpower, but the three of them have a reputation, and taking care of President Wei is power, honor, and beauty that everyone yearns for, not everyone can jump to the position of taking care of the son.
Lin Wenbiao looked at Li Chengnei: "Lord Li, what should I do?" ”
"Let my brother rest." Li Chengnei immediately said: "This is more important than anything else. ”
Lin Wenbiao nodded, but he was very anxious, because he wanted to inform Gongzi of the information he got from Wu Xiang as soon as possible.
"Director Wu, Director Wang, Director Xu, if the son is awake, show this to the son, right?" Lin Wenbiao took out a briefcase with the word "confidential" written on it.
The documents of the Statistics Bureau, according to the type of secrecy, are divided into four grades: first-class top secret, second-class top secret, top secret, and confidential, which is ordinary information, so only keep it secret, but at this point in time, it is also very important.
Xu Rui nodded and took the intelligence bag, "Don't worry, Director Lin." ”
Externally, everyone is the title of steward, but internally, just like Wei Gongzi's title of president, everyone is the director, and the director is equal to the steward.
Although Li Chengnei is an 'outsider', they know that Wei Gongzi really regards Li Chengnei as a brother, so they do not shy away from Li Chengnei.
Li Chengnei was secretly surprised when he watched from the side, only then did he know that Wei Bao's system was so rigorous, it was even more rigorous than Jinyiwei's work, layer by layer, and it was very orderly?
Lin Wenbiao, Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya, Xu Rui, Luo Sanzi, Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou These people are all high-level, Li Chengnei also saw Wei Bao's subordinates, a small steward who is one level lower than these people, and there is a captain similar to a small flag officer under the little steward, a team leader or something.
said that Wei Bao was an independent court institution, and Li Chengnei felt that it was okay.
"By the way, is Zu Guangyao still in the State Guest House?" Fan Xiaolin asked.
"I just left, maybe I wanted to wait for Grandpa Tu and them, but seeing that Grandpa Tu didn't come to Weijiazhuang, I couldn't sit still." Lin Wenbiao said.
Fan Xiaolin nodded: "It seems that this large sum of gold and silver, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fall into the pocket of the son." Fortunately, Zu Dashou and they did not forcibly snatch all the gambling money away at that time, otherwise we would be very passive. ”
"They wanted to grab it at the time, and although there were few of us, they were all fierce and loyal, and if they really fought, we would definitely dare to fight back. In addition, when I heard that Father-in-law Tu was coming for the sake of his son, he couldn't help but not do anything. Lin Wenbiao said: "It depends on what the three parties do this time, Gongzi Tu, and Wu Xiangzu's birthday." ”
"When you are a father-in-law, you are not good at stubble, you are smarter than monkeys, and you will never go back empty-handed! I guess my brother was also forced to have no way, otherwise he wouldn't have found them easily. Li Chengnei answered: "Zu Dashou Wu Xiang's family is even more horizontal!" Fortunately, it was Father-in-law Tu who came back, and if it was a small prison army, they probably wouldn't have taken it seriously. ”
When Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui heard this, they all nodded silently, and they all secretly thought that the matter was far from over! I don't know why Wei Bao wants to bet so much this time, is it fun for a weak person to bet with a strong person?
Wei Bao was just angry with his classmates when he was in the classmates' meeting, where did he think that he would end up playing bigger and bigger?
Wei Bao naturally knows that the weak side and the strong side will not be able to please if they win, but this also happens to achieve a large amount of betting, if the two sides are evenly matched, or Wu Sangui's strong side does not have Wei Bao's high chance of winning, it will never attract such a huge amount of betting, at most tens of thousands of taels of silver, where will it end up running more than 20 million taels of silver? How much is the total financial income of the Ming Dynasty in a year? The prosperous harvest year is only 20 or 30 million taels of silver, Wei Bao estimates that the end of the Ming Dynasty can collect 10 million taels a year, all ask God to worship the Buddha, thank God.
This is equivalent to the financial revenue of Daming for two whole years?
Out of Wei Bao's big wooden house, Li Chengnei asked, "Childe didn't wake up, will it be a mistake?" ”
"No, when Gongzi Hui comes, he will be able to know everything that happened in Funingwei and Yongping Mansion." Lin Wenbiao replied.
"Then I'll go back to Funingwei first, I also brought a team of people, it's been a long time since I left, it's not good." Li Chengnei said.
Lin Wenbiao nodded and said, "Master Li just goes back on an errand, and can also help listen to the news." After Childe woke up, if he wanted to see Master Li, he would naturally send someone to inform him. ”
Li Chengnei snorted, and then returned to Funingwei with Lin Wenbiao.
Lin Wenbiao soon obtained new information.
A group of big eunuchs ate big fish and meat, ate and drank good wine and food, and Wu Xiangxu and Wei Snake, neither side said the main point.
Zu Dashou agreed with Wu Xiang's meaning, if two million taels of silver can get a group of eunuchs, it would be better.
Wu Xiang revealed his meaning at the wine table, hoping that Tu Wenfu and the others would leave it alone.
Wu Xiang said that he didn't want Wei Bao's life, just gold and silver!
But the eunuchs did not seem to be in a hurry to reply.
Tu Wenfu came to protect Wei Bao's life, but he hoped that Wei Bao and the ancestral Wu family would be evenly matched, and they would keep making conflicts so that they could profit from it.
And before Tu Wenfu came, Wang Tiqian only asked him to save Wei Bao's life, and he didn't know that he was involved in such a large sum of money.
Although Tu Wenfu and other big eunuchs still don't know how much gold and silver there is, the total amount is more than 10 million taels, and they know very well that such a large sum of silver can make a group of old eunuchs like flies see, and they are stunned, and they are secretly happy that this trip is worth it.
Wu Xiang knew that a group of eunuchs had the wrong appetite and wanted more! No more talking, and the matter was at a stalemate for the time being.
Lin Wenbiao hurriedly sent the information to Weijiazhuang again.
Wei Bao woke up once in the middle of the afternoon, his mouth was dry, his body was weak, and he was afraid that the consequences of stimulants were so serious, I am afraid that he was in danger of being paralyzed, right? It is no wonder that many athletes, only forty or fifty years old, have a bunch of bone diseases, and even half-body paralysis in middle age.
Xu Rui hurriedly fed Wei Bao water: "Son, drink slowly." ”
Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya supported Wei Bao's head one by one, and the other helped feed the water.
Wei Bao took a small sip of water and eased his breath.
"What does Childe think? Is it better? Xu Rui asked, "I'll get some porridge for my son to drink." ”
"It's fine. Wait and eat, don't be hungry now. Wei Bao labored.
Wei Bao felt hungry, but he couldn't eat, and secretly thought that the best thing at this time was to hang glucose and saline, but he didn't dare to experiment on himself casually.
"There are two pieces of information here, both sent by Lin Wenbiao, can I read them to you now? He said he was in a hurry. Xu Rui asked.
Wei Bao's head was very painful, his consciousness was confused, he didn't want to pay attention to anything, he just wanted to recuperate, but the remaining thoughts still made him feel anxious and nodded slightly.
Xu Rui read the two pieces of information in detail.
Wei Bao had a headache and a body ache, and as soon as he heard the situation, he stopped supporting it: "Let's put it first!" ”
He knew that this was not a problem that could be solved immediately, and whether to turn to Wang Tiqian at the beginning, he made the decision at the first time, knowing that without Wang Tiqian, even if he won, it would be in vain, and if he didn't do it, there would be a hidden danger to his life.
Wei Bao is very afraid of death, so he didn't hesitate to find Wang Tiqian.
But when Wei Bao knew that it was such a large amount of gold and silver, and knew that it was a eunuch of Tu Wenfu's size, when the competition ended, he had already thought that things were complicated, and now that his physical condition was so poor, where did he have the brain power to think too much about things.
Xu Rui and Wang Qiuya saw Wei Bao's head, his face was covered with sweat, and they hurriedly agreed in distress, telling him not to think about it, and quickly helped him wipe his sweat.
Things are temporarily deadlocked, and one stalemate is four days!
Tu Wenfu is waiting for the Wu family's ancestral family to re-offer.
The ancestor of the Wu family promised the price of 2 million taels of silver in waiting for Tu Wenfu, and they were reluctant to add more than a penny of silver.
Because it is not only the matter of the two of them, but also involves more than 100 wealthy families in eastern and western Liaoning, taking 2 million taels of silver out to bribe a group of big eunuchs, which is originally an extraneous matter for them.
Tu Wenfu saw that the group of people in western Liaoning did not seem to be on the road, and used the ongoing battle of Jinzhou to suppress it, saying that the western Liaoxi side was not well prepared for the war and did not support the Dongjiang Army at all.
Jinzhou was originally the territory of the Dongjiang military, this is a typical means of wearing small shoes, and the ancestors of the Wu family naturally know why.
Wu Xiang wanted to persuade the rich to increase the bribe of silver taels, and it was estimated that 5 million taels would be about the same, but the rich people resolutely refused to agree.
This incident even affected the reputation of the Wu family and the ancestral family, as well as the prestige accumulated in Liaoxi and Liaodong.
is mainly the prestige of the ancestral family, Wu Xiang has not been around for a few years since his debut, and he is the master of hugging his thighs.
Jinzhou and Liaoxi Liaodong are geographically together, but it is really not about the Jiangmen of Liaoxi, but Mao Wenlong is in charge.
On the side of Mao Wenlong, it was supported by the governor of Denglai, and the Liaoxi Jiangmen included Liaodong in Liaoxi, which was mainly managed by the governor of Liaodong, the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Jiliao, which were directly under the control of these imperial courts.
They feel more upscale than Mao Wenlong, and although the two sides are together, they are not a system.
In particular, Mao Wenlong is still a southerner and came to Liaodong later, which is even more unacceptable in an era when the regional concept is very important.
In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), Mao Wenlong was ordered by Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, to lead 197 warriors such as Mao Chenglu, You Jinghe, Wang Fu, and Chen Zhong to go deep behind enemy lines, and first recovered more than 2,000 miles of coastal islands such as Pig Island, Ocean Island, Changshan Island, and Guanglu Island.
On July 14, it was discovered that the main force of Zhenjiang (later Dandong City, Liaoning Province) went to Shuangshan to kill the people who refused to surrender to Houjin, and the city was empty, so he discussed with Wang Yining, a member of the Sheng, and took Chen Liangce of the Zhenjiang Zhongjun as the internal response, led more than 100 people to attack Zhenjiang at night, and captured the Houjin guerrilla Tong Yangzhen (Qing Emperor Kangxi's grandfather) and his son Tong Fengnian, his nephew Tong Songnian, etc., and sent Chen Zhong and others to attack Shuangshan, and captured the Houjin guerrilla Miao Yizhen and others, which was known as the "Zhenjiang Great Victory" in history.
After this battle, Kuandian, Tang Station, Dangerous Mountain and other castles successively surrendered to Mao Wenlong, and for a time, "within hundreds of miles, the wind returned", "the people who returned to Shun, the rope came", which made the whole Liao shake and caused great panic in the Houjin.
The "Zhenjiang Victory" was the first victory of the Ming army since the battle against the Houjin, which greatly encouraged the hearts of the people of the whole country. Therefore, the imperial court promoted Mao Wenlong to deputy commander-in-chief.
Liaodong Jingluo Wang Zaijin commented on the battle and said: "Mao Wenlong recovered Zhenjiang, captured the traitors, the four guards were shaken, and the people's hearts responded. On the day of the news, the gentry celebrated in the court, and the common people celebrated in the wilderness. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty and Fu, it has spent millions of dollars and tens of thousands of troops, but it is impossible to capture one of its thieves. This victory is really the sound of the empty valley, and you can know it when you hear it. ”
Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, compared Mao Wenlong to the lonely heroes Ban Chao and Geng Gong in history, he said: "Mao Wenlong's recovery of Zhenjiang is enthusiastic, and he is afraid that he will be weak and weak, and he will lose rashly, which is also considered by the elders." But the way of using soldiers, the most important thing is surprising, Ban Chao set the Western Regions with 36 people, and Geng Gong guarded Shule with 100 people, all of which are miraculous...... Fortunately, there is Mao Wenlong, and this move is a little bit of a strange use for soldiers. ”
Yuan Keli's friend Dong Qichang commented: "Mao Wenlong seized Zhenjiang with 200 people, captured the rebels, and offered it to His Majesty, without spending the country a handful of iron, a bunch of grass, and a bucket of grain. This miracle is really wonderful, and you can send it to the side! Is it easy for a husband to be so bold? So that now there are three dragons, slaves can be captured, Liao can be restored, Yongfang, nourishment can sit and bind and provoke the drum. After Mao Wenlong led more than 100 people to achieve the "Zhenjiang Victory", the Houjin side was extremely shocked and sent a large army to counterattack. Mao Wenlong's soldiers were few and difficult to support, and he once retreated into North Korea. Joseon Jiedu made Zheng Zun and Pu Ye lead the Houjin army to surround Mao Wenlong in the forest, and the two sides fought fiercely, "seven battles a day, the casualties were equal", the Ming generals Ding Wenli, Lu Shiju and others died, and the Houjin army also suffered great losses and was forced to withdraw its troops.
After the Battle of Linpan, Mao Wenlong recruited refugees from Liaodong based on Phi Dao, Tieshan and Kuanju Mountains, and gradually developed into an overseas powerhouse from scratch.
In June of the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), Yuan Keli succeeded Tao Lang as the governor of Denglai, and the Ming court officially appointed Mao Wenlong as the chief military officer of the Pingliao general.
After the establishment of Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong comforted the people of Liaodong who were displaced by the war, and resettled more than one million people before and after. On the one hand, he sent generals out in all directions, constantly penetrating into the hinterland of Houjin, destroying the enemy's living forces, and gradually becoming a major problem for Houjin's henchmen.
Houjin officials said: "Mao Wenlong's trouble, should be extinguished immediately!" If Wenlong is not extinguished for a day, the treachery will not stop for a day, and the good people will not be restless for a day. ”
Regarding the role of Dongjiang Town, Liaodong Jingluo Wang Zaijin believes: "There is Mao Wenlong in Yan today, and the so-called people who are put to death and then lived." "The Art of War": 'Danger and misfortune are far and near, the way of the general.' 'With the risk of Yalu, living near the river, Wenlong has it. The slave wants to drive for a long time and there is poison between the elbows and armpits, the slave moves and poisons, and repeatedly attacks it and cannot remove its poison, and its providence is left to control the death of the slave? …… The slave is afraid of Wenlong! Chen Liangxun, a famous minister of Donglin, believed: "The person who relies on the Great Wall overseas today is not Mao Wenlong?
The Emperor of the Apocalypse once issued an edict to Mao Wenlong, affirming the role of Dongjiang Town.
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse: "Nian Er's lone army overseas, especially Guan Jiaojiao, for several years, the slave has not been created, but it has also been repeatedly frustrated. I hereby give an edict, Erqiyi drums loyalty, knows the strategy, investigates the essence of the room, scheming first, and restrains in many ways, so that the slave wolf does not dare to go west.
In the summer of the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), Nurhachi ordered the slaughter of the Liao people in the area occupied by the Houjin, and at this time the strategic intention of Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, was to "contact the islands and recover Lushun".
Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief, sent his troops to attack Houjin in four sorties, ordered Zhu Jialong to march from Qianjiazhuang, Wang Fu to march from Phoenix, Yi Chenghui to march from Manpu, and sent the general Zhang Pan to lead his troops to land from Mayang Island, and take Jinzhou and Lushun. The self-unified 8,000 horse step elite, from Zhenjiang and Tang Station, attacked all the way and responded.
After Zhang Pan went ashore, he followed the strategy arranged by Mao Wenlong, took the rescue of the people as the primary task, and used warships to ferry the surviving Liaodong people in the Jinzhou area to a safe place, and successively helped "4,000 men, women, old and children".
Zhang Pan saw that the people's hearts were available, so he organized these strong men into a team, a total of thirty-five teams.
On the 2nd day of the first month of July, Zhang Pan led a team of soldiers and civilians to attack Jinzhou, and in one fell swoop, he captured the Houjin army's firearms, "1,000 and 14 large and small cannons, 560 catties of sulfur and 560 catties of sulfur, and 7,302 large and small lead cannons." ”
Subsequently, under the strategy of Yuan Keli, he took advantage of the victory to recover the fortress Lushun at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as Wanghai Fort and Hongzui Fort, so that the land of hundreds of miles in southern Liaoning was returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Mao Wenlong sent generals to recover Jinzhou and Lushun and other places, opening up a new situation in the Liaodong battlefield. It made Denglai, Lushun, Phidao, and Kuanzalian as a line, relieved the military threat of Lushun occupied by the Later Jin to the Shandong Peninsula, consolidated the 2,000-mile sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and completed the naval blockade of the Later Jin, aggravating the food shortage in the Later Jin ruling area.
However, Jinzhou was lonely overseas, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and soon Zhang Pan was forced by Houjin to retreat to Mayang Island.
Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, reported to the imperial court: "Liu Aita leaked and Jinzhou was empty, Shen Yourong was outnumbered, and Zhang Pan entered the base. I heard that someone in Jinzhou led the crowd to force Zhang Pan to be on Mayang Island, and this Jinzhou was restored but not recovered. ”
In the autumn of the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), the governor Yuan Keli carried out a series of strategic layouts, so that "the troops went out of the east of the Guandong, and Lushun attacked at the corner", in order to establish the "restoration work".
In September of this year, Mao Wenlong arranged a detailed flight report in the Houjin ruling area, and Nurhachi prepared to attack the front line of Shanhaiguan in the west. In order to contain Houjin, Mao Wenlong personally commanded an army of 30,000 and smashed the ancient capital of Houjin to attack it.
Houjin in the south of Hetuala, in the lofty mountains, there are three fortresses of Dong Gu Village, Niu Mao Village, and Hades Village, deep ditches and high bases, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is the foundation of its beginning. On September 13, Mao Wenlong led his troops to conquer Donggu Village, fought fiercely until the 16th, occupied Niumao Village and Hades, and wiped out all the Houjin defenders. On the 17th, the Houjin army counterattacked, wanting to recapture Sanzhai, Mao Wenlong set up an ambush and waited, and the Houjin army wrapped dumplings and won a complete victory. Nurhachi heard that there was a change in the rear, so he had to give up his plan to go west and lead an army of 40,000 to rescue him. Considering that the lone army was deep, the division veterans were tired, and the strategic goal of containing Nurhachi had been accomplished, Mao Wenlong decided to take the initiative to withdraw from the battle.
Soon after the "Niumaozhai Victory", Mao Wenlong once again hit the Houjin Army and achieved the "Wuji Pass Victory".
In the two great victories, the Ming army "successively beheaded a total of 726 people, captured 14 people alive, and 5 women...... According to the evidence, it is verified together. According to the Ming Dynasty, the actual number of enemies destroyed is often far more than the number of beheadings, the famous "Battle of Ningyuan" Ming army only "the first two hundred and sixty prisoners have nine", "Ningjin victory" is "not a few", "Ding Zixiong immediately cut a level", and Mao Wenlong's two great victories, several times more than that, is particularly rare.
At that time, Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, was overjoyed after the "great victory of Niu Mao Village", and praised and said: "Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of Pingliao, was repeatedly captured, and Yuan Chonghuan, who accompanied the Guanwai Dao, inspected three times one by one, and the first level was 371, all of which were truly strong, and four thieves were captured in the battle, all of which were real Tartars. The officers in the mission gathered the soldiers outside the yamen, three artillery and three knights. When the minister was in Ningyuan, he rewarded the people in the spring, and the tiger chieftain and other departments were there. He specially ordered all officials to relieve their captives, and through the various tribes, they arrived in Ningyuan. Not only does the wind show the border people, but also sees that there are still thieves in the world, and thieves have their own day to be destroyed! For a while, people's hearts were moved. Because Nian Wenlong with a lone sword to the wolf's den, floating in the wind and waves, the power to form a country, always leave people, and fight, to repeatedly frustrate the thief, and its ambition to follow the invitation of the minister, lead its tail, smash its nest, the world is cowardly and wait-and-see, worried about the self-defense, only think that it can be captured, it is really enough to inspire the righteous courage of the heroes of the world, and suddenly order the people who shrink their feet to die without a place. ”
Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, personally asked for merit for Mao Wenlong: "Mao Wenlong led the troops to go deep into Yan Wangzhai, fought with the slaves and thieves, beheaded 371 ranks, captured four Zhenyi alive, please give a reward of two silver." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse instructed "Mao Wenlong and his generals to conduct an investigation immediately".
In the third year of the Apocalypse, Houjin "often haunts Changshan and Lushun, and most of the ships are stalked." ”
Yuan Keli "asked for a general and a garrison on Huangcheng Island, and trained 3,000 soldiers, thinking that he was a foreign servant in Denglai." There are also two battalions of guerrillas, and the flying trees come and go to and from the Guanglu Islands. Piers are set up for artillery, and flags are facing each other. ”
As a result, "the captives migrated far away, and the sails of the black were no longer free on the sea." ”
After the autumn harvest, the Jin people came to invade again, and Yuan Keli "ordered to set up an ambush, take advantage of the wind to set fire to the cocoon, and burn all the grain." ”
The Jin people were very angry and launched a series of retaliatory actions.
And Yuan Keli had already expected that "the troops were gathered in advance to respond to the parting ways, and they fought fiercely at night, and captured countless prisoners", and the Jin people who were ambushed were defeated, and the government and the opposition thought that "setting up a town is from the beginning of this victory." ”
On the fifth day of October of that year, the commander-in-chief Mao Wenlong reinstated Zhang Pan to recover Fuzhou and Yongning.
At that time, the garrison of Houjin Fuzhou was rampant and plundered the people everywhere. Zhang Pan took advantage of the Liao people's hatred of the Houjin army to attack the city at night and break it.
Unwilling to fail, the Houjin army mobilized more troops to counterattack, Zhang Pan set up an ambush in the city, and defeated the Houjin army again, "winning countless pieces", and the Houjin army "threw away the equipment and guns." ”
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624), Houjin used the sea water to freeze and attacked Lushun with more than 10,000 cavalry, wanting to avenge the defeat last time.
Zhang Pan defended the city, and when the gunpowder was exhausted, he still held on.
Now Zhang Pan is sitting in the lonely city, Mao Wenlong is restrained by Jiannu in North Korea, and he is not able to do anything, and the local forces in Liaoxi and Liaodong have not moved.
Therefore, Tu Wenfu is talking about this matter at this time, which is not an unreasonable little shoe.
The generals in western Liaoning do have the responsibility to support the Jinzhou defense war, especially Jinzhou, which is on the side.
Lin Wenbiao sent the latest information back to Weijiazhuang every day, and felt that the ancestral Wu family lobbied a group of wealthy families and Tu Wenfu and a group of eunuchs, and the two sides seemed to be able to reach an agreement immediately.
Lin Wenbiao, Luo San was stunned, Liu Chunshi, Fan Datou, Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya, Xu Rui and other people around Wei Gongzi were extremely anxious.
It's been five days since the competition, and Wei Gongzi is still groggy every day, confused, and doesn't get better.
Such a big thing is waiting for President Wei Gongzi Wei to make an idea!
Everyone is very anxious, this is a troublesome matter that is almost unsolvable, not to mention that Wei Gongzi is like this now, I am afraid that if Wei Gongzi is in good physical condition and has clear consciousness, it will not be easily solved.
