Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 399
Accompanied by the snowflakes, the army of the Manchu Qing left Beijing in a vigorous manner and came to the territory of Shandong.

As a key point of the canal and a wing to protect Beijing, Shandong's position is crucial.

From Tianjin, to Cangzhou, then Wuqiao, Dezhou, Linqing, Dongchangfu.

The 200,000 army, plus the running civilians, add up to about [-] people, which can be described as mighty and mighty, stretching for hundreds of miles.

The civil and military men in Shandong went out of Jinan and came to Dongchang to greet them on their knees.

Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Su Hauge, and Dorobel Lek Dehun, all three were famous figures in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and had great power.

Even Wu Sangui had to come to greet him in person.

Even if he is also a county king.

"The ministers respectfully invite the emperor Shengan—"

"Saint Gong'an!"

"According to the order to hunt down thieves, Shandong civil and military officials should cooperate..."

Prince Zheng took out the imperial decree from his sleeve, and mumbled it in Manchu.

The Manchus on the side translated it and relayed it in Chinese.

The general meaning is that Shandong must guarantee the general supplies of the canal, civilians, food and grass, etc., must also be actively guaranteed, and the army must not be delayed.

In addition, Wu Sangui's Guanning iron cavalry will also go south with the army.

Hearing these words, Wu Sangui's complexion became a little darker, and he could only agree.

However, Shandong Wenwu's complexion was even worse.

Hundreds of thousands of guarantees, the hard work in it is hard to measure.

You must know that there are not many people in Shandong at this time, and it is difficult to survive by yourself. This is going to cause chaos!

But there is no way, the request of the imperial court, even if all the people in Shandong are dead, it must be fulfilled.

"His grandma's, the whole canal is full!"

Chu Yu was near the pier, seeing a large number of ships blocking it, feeling filled with emotion for a moment.

It seems that the news from Beijing is not fake.

If you add 130,000 Guanning troops, it will be [-] people. Can the court withstand it?

He thought about it.

Then he thought of his mission, which was to destroy the order in Shandong, make Manqing exhausted, and affect the operation of food and grass.

"Just relying on those bandits, I'm afraid we won't be able to accomplish anything great."

Chu Yu muttered, and immediately said: "It seems that we have to win over those gentry. Only with the help of these local snakes can we do things well."

Thinking of this, he touched the white board in his arms, and there were only a few: "Damn, I've used too much during this time."

"Got to get the news to the south..."

……

At this time, Wenxi, who had been in North Korea for many days, took Li Yingren, recruited more than 1000 people from the survivors on the Yalu River border, and cooperated with the dispatch of more than [-] people to land on Phi Island again.

At this time, Phi Island has been occupied by North Korea, and the people have been relocated, and the government has been established, which is much stronger than before.

A good base will naturally be accepted.

Not long after landing on the island, the imperial court sent a notice asking them to harass Liaodong as soon as possible.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Wenxi couldn't help asking.

"The Manchus have already gone south, and the rear is empty. Although you have few people these few days, you think it's the right time to come."

Jin Yiwei said a few words, turned his head and left without saying a word.

However, he brought an appointment from the court.

Li Yingren was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Wenxi was the governor of Liaodong with the title of censor.

"What is this?"

Wenxi was helpless.

The majestic minister of the Ministry of Rites became the governor out of thin air, and the governor who only governs one island is really a headache.

Li Yingren rejoiced.

"In less than [-] years, a certain has already become the chief soldier, governor Wen, the emperor's grace is mighty!"

"The emperor's grace is mighty—" Wenxi shouted out of interest.

Although they are both promoted, their ideas are completely different.

However, Li Yingren was very excited and shouted: "There is nothing behind Jiannu, this is a great opportunity for us to make contributions."

"Do you dare not obey?"

Wenxi can only agree.

Wasn't he sent to North Korea because of his courage?Now there is no way out, only to act according to the will.

"Mr. Li, your Li family lives in Liaodong. Presumably there should be quite a few old relatives?"

Hearing this, Li Yingren said in embarrassment: "Although my ancestor Cheng Liang came from the Li family of Tieling, his whole family moved to Beijing after he served as the Liaodong general..."

After talking for a quarter of an hour, Wenxi suddenly realized.

It turned out that Li Chengliang's family was originally from Koryo, and soon after Chang Yuchun and others recovered Liaodong, they became Ming people and hereditary military positions.

And Li Chengliang's branch belongs to the direct branch of the long house. After Li Chengliang made his fortune, he migrated to Beijing, and those who stayed in Liaodong were from the second to the fifth house.

To put it bluntly, those who stayed in Tieling were all poor people.

After Nurhachi took Tieling, the Li family that was massacred was actually only the second wife, and Li Chengliang's family became completely Beijingers.

Among the sons of Li Chengliang, such as Rusong (died in 1598), Rubai (former Liaodong commander-in-chief, fought in Saerhu at the age of 67, and cut himself off in 1621 after Meng Qu), Ruzhen (Liaodong commander-in-chief, Tieling fell Exiled later), Ruzhang (general officer of Yansui, impeached at the age of 43, became an official in his prime), Rumei (chief officer of Liaodong, died of illness after being demoted) all galloped on the battlefield of Liaodong, and all of them worked hard to become the deputy commander-in-chief , General.

Grandchildren Li Huaizhong (Wu Jinshi, transferred from Liaodong in 1621, to Yansui Gushan Deputy Commander), Loyalty (Kaiyuan Deputy Commander, was impeached in 1615 and became an official), Xingzhong (Deputy General of the Denglai Navy, Beijing fell and died in the battle), Xianzhong (the deputy general of the Liaodong General Army, died in the battle) all galloped on the Liaodong battlefield, and their great-grandchildren (ancestors) also participated in the front line until the entire territory of Liaodong fell.

"Now the slaves are only the second house, Li Sizhong, and others. I wait for the head house, and I will die in many battles. I have no second thoughts."

When Li Yingren said this, even if he was a rough guy, his eyes turned red.

"Jiannu often confuses the public, saying that my Li family is in two boats, which is a thousand miles away, the country is hated by the family, how can I surrender?"

Wenxi sighed, and immediately bowed, with admiration on his face: "The blood of the nobles spread all over Liaodong, Wenxi admires it."

"Forget it, it's all thanks to my ancestors. I am ashamed of my ancestors, so I can only escape to North Korea and keep my clothes."

Li Yingren smiled wryly.

"We have five thousand soldiers now, Liaodong is close at hand, and it is the right time to make contributions!"

Wenxi held her head high, full of momentum.

"Okay!" Li Yingren nodded and laughed loudly: "We can't beat those men in armor, can't we also beat those slaves in coats?"

"That's right, we are just packing clothes."

Wenxi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In the land of Liaodong in the past, millions of Han people were reduced to slaves, food and clothing were not guaranteed, and their descendants were livestock. Our trip is dedicated to digging out the roots and saving the people from suffering."

"As long as there is chaos in Liaodong, Beijing will not live in peace, and it can also relieve Nanjing's difficulties."

"Phi Dao is not short of money and food now, let Man Qing taste what it's like to poke his asshole." Li Yingren shouted.

"Rude—" Wenxi scolded with a smile,
