readx; More than two years ago, Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong, and Zhu Youzhen went out on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can look at it from afar, but see that the city wall of Shanhaiguan is dilapidated, and there are many places that have been damaged by wind and rain, which really has the reputation of "the first pass in the world". Even though Sun Chengzong had always advocated focusing his defense on Ningyuan and Jinzhou, he couldn't help frowning when he saw this situation.

The Chinese army had already reported to the city, and the city gate was opened in a short time, and the military generals stationed at Shanhaiguan were picked up from afar. Still far away, Zhu Youzhen recognized Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao at a glance. I saw that Man Gui was still that big and high-spirited, and Zhao Shujiao also had a sly smile on the ground as always, but the two were far apart from each other, one left and one right, and no one paid attention to anyone.

Between the two of them, there was a civil official with white hair, who was much older than Sun Chengzong, and his respectful expression was faintly sad. Sun Chengzong whispered beside Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, this person is Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi. Many courtiers have played this person, who is a traitor to Wei Zhongxian's party, and Gao Di himself has also resigned. The minister took the defense of Shanhaiguan as the most important, and His Majesty had newly ascended the throne, and there was no suitable person to choose to replace him, so he was temporarily allowed to stay in office. I heard that this person is cowardly by nature, and His Majesty can take a closer look. ”

Zhu Youzhen replied noncommittally, and at this time everyone had already greeted the horse and bowed. Man Gui was the most anxious, he should have knelt three times and kowtowed, but he couldn't help but jump up after only three kowtows, clapped his hands and laughed: "Your Majesty, since Ning Yuan said goodbye more than two years ago, the last general has always remembered you!" I won't tell you the truth, at that time, Wu Sangui, a bastard, escorted you to the domain, but there was an accident halfway, and His Majesty's life and death were unknown, and the last man cried several times for this matter! If it weren't for the Master Inspector to stop me, I would have to chop Wu Sangui alive! ”

Wu Sangui's team had already entered the city first, and he was also in the team at this time. Hearing Man Gui insulting himself like this, Wu Sangui's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he almost couldn't help but make a move with Man Gui on the spot.

But at that time, his escort was unfavorable, which led to the death of Zhu Youzhen and Li Chongyao, and finally Li Chongyao died on the Mongolian steppe, which is also an indisputable fact. Ever since he heard that Zhu Youzhen had ascended the throne as emperor, Wu Sangui was terrified all day long, and he was most afraid that someone would mention this past. Man Gui is not open which pot to mention, how can Wu Sangui not be frightened, immediately knelt in front of Zhu You's horse, kowtowed like pounding garlic and said: "The end will be a capital crime!" I beg Your Majesty to spare the last general's life for the sake of the last general's bloody escort! ”

Of course, Zhu Youzhen is not happy in his heart, as he gets closer and closer to Liaodong in the past two days, the memories of Chongyao that he forcibly sealed in the depths of his heart are becoming clearer and clearer, like a ruthless steel needle, stabbing his heart fiercely all the time.

But Zhu Youzhen also knew that he was attacked by Tartars on the way back then, because Li Chongqi, a traitor to the Li family, colluded with the traitor Li Yongfang, and had nothing to do with Wu Sangui. As for the later defection of the Khalkha Ministry and the murder of Chongyao, it is even more impossible to settle the account on Wu Sangui's head.

Although Wu Sangui is the number one traitor in the world in history, so far, he has not done anything; The emperor's knife is fast and he doesn't kill innocent people, so Zhu Youzhen can't do anything to Wu Sangui, so he has to reluctantly smile and say: "General Wu, please get up." Don't mention the past, General Mangui shouldn't joke, let's hurry into the city. ”

At this time, Gao Di dared to step forward and answer. Originally, as the economic strategy of Liaodong, he was the largest official in Liaodong; Man Gui's call just now inevitably stole his limelight, but Gao Di didn't dare to reprimand Man Gui, or Sun Chengzong counted Man Gui's two sentences like "Don't lose your honor in front of the king". Along the way, Gao Di was also cautious, Zhu Youzhen didn't say it, but he thought in his heart: What Sun Chengzong said is not bad, Gao Di is really a timid person like a mouse, how can such a person pass through Liaodong?

The city of Shanhaiguan is not large, and soon the group arrived at Jinglufu. Zhu Youzhen exempted low-level officials from the etiquette of visiting the shrine, leaving only Gao Di, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Wu Sangui and others to immediately hold an emergency meeting. He first said to everyone: "You may not know that I have already killed the traitor Ning me, in order to show that I do not share the heavens with Jianyu. It was estimated that the news would soon be transmitted back to Liaodong, and I also knew that this move would inevitably provoke the Jianyu and lead to a large-scale attack, so I rushed to inspect the defense first. ”

Everyone was moved, and it was Man Gui who took the lead in praising loudly: "Your Majesty killed well, and this should be the case with the traitor!" ”

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand slightly, signaled Man Gui not to make a noise, and then asked Gao Didao: "Lord Gao, how many troops are there in Liaodong, how to distribute them, play in detail!" ”

Gao Di hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, there are 105,000 border troops in Liaodong. Among them, there are 28,000 Shanhaiguan, led by Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao; The remaining 77,000 were outside the Guan, under the control of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong. Governor Yuan divided it into four, one stationed in Ningyuan, one stationed in Jinzhou, one rushed to repair Dalinghe City, and the rest were scattered in Qiantun and other places. As for Dongjiang Mao Wenlong, although it is assigned to the minister's moderation, it is difficult for the minister to control it. He claimed that he had 40,000 soldiers, and he had been paying according to this amount, but outsiders did not go to Phi Island at all, and the truth was unknown. ”

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Mao Wenlong won't care about him first." How many of the more than 100,000 people under you and Yuan Chonghuan are on empty salaries? ”

Gao Di was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen sneered sarcastically, "So you haven't eaten less empty salary?" ”

"How dare the minister be greedy for the Mo army's salary!" Gao Di hurriedly said, "The 28,000 border troops in Shanhaiguan, the minister dares to guarantee the head of the item, and there is no vacancy!" ”

Man Gui also replied with a bang: "Your Majesty, you also know that the last general is such a rough character, and he won't engage in those twists and turns!" If you find out that the last general is empty, you can just deal with that Ning Wan me, and you can dismantle the last general! ”

"The last general will not dare to eat empty salaries." Zhao Shujiao also blinked his small eyes and said, "The last general has reached the year of the sixtieth year, and he has already seen those things outside his body. Being in Liaodong, there may be a horse leather shroud at any time, what's the use of asking for those things? Besides, the last general is not from Liaodong, and there are no children here..."

Zhu Youzhen heard what Zhao Shujiao said, and Gao Di was still unfinished, so he continued to ask: "Master Gao, since you didn't eat empty salary, then what are you guilty of?" ”

Gao Di said with a bitter face: "Although there is no vacancy in Shanhaiguan, but in Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places, the empty salary is very serious. It is said that there are 77,000, but the actual strength can be 50,000. ”

Zhu Youzhen immediately said angrily: "Knowing that there is a situation of empty salary, why don't you report it and don't deal with it?" ”

Gao Di said helplessly: "Although the minister is the economic strategy of Liaodong, he cannot directly govern the border army in Ningyuan and other places. According to Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, the border army was on the front line of resistance to capture, and it was very hard to build cities and garrison the border, and the food and salary standards given by the imperial court were too low. If you don't eat some empty quotas, it will be difficult to win people's hearts. The minister thinks that what Governor Yuan said is not unreasonable..."
