Although Zhang Xin and Yu Peng have not been officials for a few years, their views on government affairs are far from being comparable to Xiaobai Xu Hao, and they are not afraid of pulling off their balls if they have too many grand feats? At the moment, they looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and they ignored someone who was talking about it, and turned around to look at it.

Xu Hao smiled silently at this, and slowly sat down and kept tapping his fingers on the table, because it was time to think about his future.

The most important thing about being an official is to be inconsistent with the political ideas of those in power, for example, if you really want to implement what you said before, you can predict that it will not work at all in the Yongle Dynasty, not even any emperor in power, even if it is feasible, but Xu Hao never wants to put his net worth and life on the emperor who can determine the life and death of people in a word, and the fate of all reformers is very miserable.

Now that he occupies Liaodong, Xu Hao naturally wants to test it, and it seems that the enlightened policy of the Jianwen Dynasty to rule by doing nothing is more appropriate, but two recent events have caused Xu Hao to sigh.

One is that Guan Haiwei commanded Zhang Shou to say a few words of truth after drinking, thinking that the national crisis is really worrying, which is probably the voice of many people at this time, but Zhang Shou was soon executed for the crime of "evil words", and there were three or five people who were similarly beheaded, so no one dared to discuss state affairs without permission. It can be seen that the feudal dynasty is so disgusting, Xu Hao has said too much in the past few years, can he escape for a lifetime if he can hide for a while?

Then there is Zhu Di's son-in-law Li Rang, Li Rang captured Daning and captured the Baigou River and made military achievements, and now serves as the political secretary of Beiping, assisting Zhu Gaochi to stay behind.

His father Li Shen was the commander of the left guard in the capital, the founding veteran, Emperor Jianwen asked Li Shen to persuade Li Rang to rebel, but was refused, Zhu Yunwen ordered to kill Li Shen, and his family was killed.

This is still Zhu Yunwen, who is known as benevolence and righteousness, regardless of whether you have meritorious deeds or whether you have an iron coupon to avoid death. The destruction of the whole door is a matter of one sentence, not to mention the future Yongle Emperor, almost everyone who offended him in the battle of Jingjing will not die.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu are actually not good birds, among them, Zhu Gaochi doesn't look at the appearance of harmony and has no temper, but in fact, he is very concerned about who has offended him, and he will definitely not be soft when he settles accounts after the autumn, and he is delusional to seek peace through brotherhood? Gain the trust of the emperor for a lifetime? That's pure luxury.

The crisp voice stopped, and Xu Hao said softly: "Come on, go and call Li Qiu Muyi in." ”

Soon Li Qiu and Mu Yi both came. Xu Hao first said to Li Qiu: "You take my official seal to North Korea, and order to return the Han people stranded in its territory within a month, and provide grain seeds until the beginning of spring in the next year, otherwise block the road and prohibit trade by sea, if you dare to get involved in the civil war between the Ming royal family, don't blame me for raising a large army to attack and go to the country of his mother." ”

"Yes!" Li Qiu turned around after the new-style military salute. In fact, Xu Hao didn't expect the Korean monarchs and ministers to obediently obey orders, but he always had to salute first and then become famous.

Xu Hao smiled at Mu Yi again: "I will make the decision on your marriage with Luzhu, and marry Mu Hui in the coming year." ”

Mu Yi was neither surprised nor surprised. The two brothers mentioned this matter a lot, he has long heard that Xu Luzhu is cute and kind, full of poetry and books, and is one of Xu Hao's two most beloved sisters. What's not to be happy about being a young lady?

Mu Yi knew very well that this was the way of Xu Hao's royal family, the relationship between the Mu family and the Xu family was too close, and this move was just icing on the cake, even if he refused, he couldn't change the reality of losing everything. It was a glad yes.

Xu Hao is very happy, Mu Yi is talented enough to match Luzhu, and the most important thing is that he can further trust him as his brother-in-law. Marriage is really the most reassuring power game for the superiors!

"You immediately inform Mu Hui to secretly transport all the craftsmen of the family in the name of reclaiming wasteland."

After finishing speaking, Xu Hao pointed to the map behind him and explained: "Without muskets and gunpowder, we can't fight against foreign races, and the Liaodong Army can't be counted on for a few years, and besides, without warships, merchant ships can't go to seafaring trade to make money and food to maintain the place." ”

Mu Yi's heart was shocked, he was not such a good person as Li Qiu, and said, "Brother, this is?" ”

Xu Hao sighed: "Now that I am the general of Liaodong, it won't be long before the imperial court will send someone to persuade me to surrender and promise high-ranking officials good luck." The court is uneasy and kind, if I promise everything to say, if I don't agree, I will spread the matter out, no matter how I explain it, I will be suspicious of King Yan if I contact the court in private, even if I send the person and the letter to the prince, to prove my innocence. But after all, we are of the opposite sex, and we will inevitably be recalled to Beiping for Zhu Gaosui to come and take over. ”

Mu Yi frowned and was speechless, Xu Hao didn't want to explain too explicitly, and ordered: "Go ahead, when a monk strikes the clock for a day, at least leave firearms to the military and civilians to defend against foreign races." ”

"Yes!" Mu Yi, who wanted to stop talking, frowned and turned away.

Just as Beiping was busy self-examining and paying homage to the dead of the soldiers, and hurried to recruit soldiers, Xu Hao took 5,000 men and horses to the north of the Great Wall of Hushan.

Further up, almost all of the land is actually controlled by North Korea, between the deep mountains, old forests, white mountains and black waters, often hundreds of miles of land is uninhabited, Xu Hao ordered the whole army to find shelter and set up camp.

Eighteen-year-old Abu looked curiously at the three thousand Ming troops digging hard black soil to set up military tents, and soon after the two huge tents were erected, round wooden barrels were carefully pushed in, looking at the long cloth bag carried by the sergeant, which was rumored to be a musket more powerful than a bow and arrow.

"Abu, go hunting."

More than a dozen young people of the same age shouted Abu's name, Abu nodded and looked at the busy Ming army, wearing wool sewn from wool blue-gray daze, and some were wearing thick leather clothes, different from the Han costumes they had seen before, they looked very majestic and handsome, and looked at the bells and whistles on their bodies, and then walked over and turned over with envy, braving the cold wind and going into the distance.

Xu Hao smiled and watched Abu and other two thousand military households go out to hunt, although most of them are Liao people of mixed Mongolian and Han descent or living here, but everyone can speak Han and their living habits are no different from those of Han people, if it were not for the later imperial court to give up most of Liaodong, the descendants of these people would not have been repeatedly killed and looted by the Jurchens a hundred years later, and were assimilated into Manchurians

Among them, nearly 300 people are considered Jurchens, but unlike today's sparsely populated Manchu ancestors, they are actually real mature Jurchens left over from the Jin Kingdom, no different from the Han people.

in this period. Even Nurhachi's ancestors were not loyal subjects of the Ming Dynasty? Compared with the southwest, northwest and the entire north and even the Central Plains, the northeast is a relatively peaceful region in the next hundred years, of course, this makes the Jianzhou Jurchens have a god-given opportunity to multiply, and finally be able to rise strongly to win the Central Plains.

Xu Hao took out a booklet, which was full of beautiful and cute cartoon patterns, all of which were very familiar with Mickey Mouse, Ahri Winnie the Pooh, etc., and inside was a handful of delicate and smart hard pen characters.

"Poor Feng Wu, thank you for the good things you left behind."

Xu Hao said with emotion, this was given to him by Xu Da himself, and the sister paper of the later generations was obsessed with the emperor Ama Agogege. Feng Wu, as an iron fan, has reached a terrifying level of horror for the rise of the Nurhachi family.

Because she wanted to be the queen of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to be the mother of the world, Feng Wu was afraid that her children would be killed by the Qing Dynasty, so she wrote a diary very solemnly.

Xu Hao was a little ashamed, vaguely knowing that the ancestor of the Dao Ai Xinjue Luo clan seemed to have the surname Tong or something, but he didn't expect that the ancestor of the family was a very common Mongolian name now, called Mengge Timur. Feng Wu even knew that he had two sons, the eldest son was good and the second son Chu Yan was probably because of a certain romance novel, it seems that online novels are really important learning materials for travelers.

At this moment, Li Qiu, who was dressed in white frost, strode over. Suddenly surprised: "God." ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Hao closed the handwriting and put it in his arms.

Li Qiu lowered his voice and said, "Young Master, your back is like a soaring white dragon.

Xu Hao was surprised, and he couldn't see what was behind it, so he hurriedly said, "Help me erase it, don't you want to live anymore?" ”

Li Qiu stretched out his hand and slapped the frost that seemed to be a soaring dragon. laughed and said: "If only the young master could guard Liaodong like the Mu family, wouldn't he become the king of Liaodong?" ”

Xu Hao's heart moved, and he smiled: "It's not impossible. But that's for the future. ”

"Wei Qu's illness has arrived." Li Qiu said.

In the military tent that had just been placed, Xu Hao smiled and said to an old man with a money rat tail: "Thank you, Lord Ahha, for coming from thousands of miles away, and I would like to express my gratitude with a glass of water and wine." ”

The old man strode over and hugged Xu Hao, and happily said in half-baked Chinese: "The family doesn't speak two languages. ”

Xu Hao was stunned and asked, "Where does this start?" ”

It turned out that the name of this Jurchen old man was Ahachu, and his ancestors served as the ten thousand households of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was a prominent aristocratic leader of the Jurchen clan. The Hongwu Dynasty was attached, and in order to envelop it, the first emperor agreed that Aha would sacrifice his daughter to be the palace maid of the Yan Palace.

Aha hopes that her daughter can become the concubine of the Ming royal family, but the Jurchen sister's paper appearance is really something, Zhu Di has never touched her, and she is a dispensable person in the Yan Wangfu.

However, the eunuch who left his name in the Yongle period was also lost, and he was a Haixi Jurchen who was defeated and captured by Aha and went to Beiping as a domestic slave.

Xu Hao guessed that the reason why the Yongle Dynasty successfully set up the Nuer Gandu Division had a lot to do with the Aha Guild, who looked very enthusiastic and hearty in front of him.

At the moment, the old and the young are talking happily, and Xu Hao's status is enough to convince Ahha, who thinks highly of himself.

Aha Chu introduced: "Our clan is called Handoli in Mongolian, in addition to my family, there is a hereditary family, the two families have been married for generations, and the patriarch of the previous generation is called Mengtemu. It's a pity that in the early years, because he suppressed our savages with the Yuan soldiers, he was always retaliated and attacked, resulting in a lot of casualties among the population. My clan has lived in Xiguan City for generations, and due to the southern invasion of the Ha tribe, the enemy of the clan, I have no choice but to flee to the south with my clansmen, and Meng Temu took half of my clansmen to hide in Korea for protection. ”

Xu Hao listened quietly with interest, but unfortunately there was no way to analyze whether the Handuoli Department was the predecessor of the Jianzhou Jurchen, probably about the same, the relationship was so deep, it was impossible for Zhu Di not to appoint the cheap old man as the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, and asked, "What about now?" ”

Ahache said: "After the death of Mentemu, his eldest son, my son-in-law Meng's brother Timur, became the patriarch, and the son-in-law was brave and good at fighting, and when I died, he would inherit the position of chief. ”

After saying that, Ah Ha noticed that the smile on Xu Hao's face became brighter, and he said proudly: "A few years ago, the son-in-law was recruited into the Korean palace and was named tens of thousands of households by the lord of North Korea. ”

Xu Haoxin said that it was really, a palace maid was rendered as a concubine, I said why haven't I heard that King Yan has a Jurchen concubine, according to this, isn't Brother Meng's Timur the brother-in-law of the Yongle Emperor? Aixin Jueluo has become a relative of the emperor?

But having said that, Zhu Di really likes interracial beauties very much, and he may really accept a few Manchu mountain girls in the future.

Seeing that the young general did not speak, history recommended his son-in-law to Ahachu of the Ming Dynasty, and said: "If the adult can help, the son-in-law should return to his hometown with his clansmen, and from then on guard the frontier for the Ming Dynasty, and be loyal."
