I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 377 Zaisai’s Return

"Master, they bought some Sujin and left."

"Is there nothing wrong with it?"

"That's not true, but these Inner Khalkha people are generous in their dealings, which makes the surrounding merchants envious. Some can't help complaining that our court is too lenient to them, and some even say that they spend all the rewards given by the court. silver."

Yang Lian, who was sitting in the sedan, opened a small gap in the sedan curtain. Listening to what the boy asked about, he nodded expressionlessly, then opened the sedan curtain again and said slowly:
"Understood, let's go."

The person on the sedan chair was none other than Yang Lian. He set off yesterday and arrived in Liaoyang in one day.But when I just passed the market outside the city, I saw that it was extremely prosperous, and I thought of the scene I saw when I first came to Liaoyang.

It's just that in today's market, the chieftain soldiers he encountered at that time are rare, and instead there are more merchants.

And with the development of sea transportation, more and more goods from Jiangnan and even Shandong are now transported to Liaodong by sea and land. Many merchants also come to Liaoyang in search of furs, medicinal materials and other goods, making the current market a lot more prosperous.

Therefore, he also wanted to wander around for a while, but he saw several Nekar Kataijis surrounding him in front. Due to his status, he did not get off the sedan chair, so he asked his servant to go see what was going on and report to him.

As the sedan took off, Yang Lian also began to think about what those merchants had just said, and after a while he heard a slight sound of landing.

"Master, we have arrived at the mansion."

When Yang Lian saw this, he got off the sedan directly. Xiong Tingbi would discuss matters with him tomorrow, but he would go back to his residence to take a rest today.

But as soon as he changed into his casual clothes after returning to the house, he heard the boy outside the door coming to report.

"Master, Master Heshun is here to pay his respects."

Yang Lian was slightly stunned, but not surprised, and then said slowly:

"Take him to the main hall, I will meet him there."

The boy immediately took the order and left, and Yang Lian also took a short rest before heading to the main hall.As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw a thick man in military uniform, about six feet tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, sitting on a chair in the main hall. Seeing Yang Lian coming, he quickly stood up and knelt down and said:

"The humble rank of Shenyang Guards General is He Shun. Please see the Governor."

Yang Lian laughed when he heard this, waved his hands quickly and said:
"Get up, don't be too polite. Heshun, you have just been promoted to staff general. You are not training soldiers in Shenyang. Why did you come to Liaoyang? Is there something difficult?"

Heshun stood up and looked at Yang Lian, who was determined to take his seat, and quickly explained.

"Originally, soldiers were trained in Shenyang. The Mongols and Jurchens in the camp were rebellious and disobedient at first, but after being trained for several rounds, they are now docile.

I still thought that after the training was completed, I would go north to the Yilu post to change defenses. I would also make a contribution by then. It was a pity that I did not participate in the last Puhe victory.

But now I suddenly received a military order from Governor Xiong, saying that Liaoyang would now convene Taiji, the Inner Kalka Wengjirat Department, to discuss matters.Since I had been successful in winning over Wengjirat's tribe before, I was also asked to come over to discuss it together.After I arrived, I heard that the governor had also returned from his inspection tour, so I came here to see him. "

At this time, Yang Lian took the tea handed over by the boy, took a slow sip, and then looked at Heshun.

"Governor Xiong originally distrusted the Mongolian and Jurchen surrendered soldiers, and always felt that they had second thoughts. But now there are gradually more surrendered soldiers, so it is really rare to be able to form a battalion of surrendered soldiers for you to command. This is really rare. You must seize the opportunity and never be complacent.”

"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, I will certainly live up to your love in this humble position."

Yang Lian nodded slowly, then put down the tea cup and continued:

"You did a good job in Nekalka last time. Although you didn't convince the Balut tribe, you did win over the Ongirat tribe to go south. Governor Xiong will keep this credit in mind. As long as you do your job well and establish a new one, Gong, it’s not impossible to move up.”

Yang Lian was very satisfied with Heshun. He was not only brave in battle, but also a fierce general. In addition, he had a special status. As a bloodline of the Jurchen Ula clan, he was able to conquer both Mongolia and Jianlu. He was the best choice for recruiting and surrendering Jurchens. A good example of being demoted.

Therefore, not only Yang Lian, but also Xiong Tingbi felt that it was a rare commodity that could be lived in and reused.

"This is all due to the governor's advice. I don't dare to take credit for my humble position. But now Governor Xiong has summoned Wengjirat's department to discuss matters, but is there going to be another war?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Lian put down the tea cup and looked at He Shun with a smile.

"I just said that you are being courteous for nothing, and you are either committing adultery or stealing. Under the guise of watching me, it turned out that you were trying to trick me."

Heshun also had a silly smile on his face when he heard this, and quickly raised his hands and said:

"I don't dare, but the signs are too obvious. Wengjirat's tribe has been in Liaohetao for almost three or four months. Yue Tuo has already withdrawn his troops. Inner Khalkha is leaderless. Now only the Bahrain and other tribes who helped Yue Tuo at that time are the only ones." . Therefore, our Wengjirat tribe definitely wants to fight back and take revenge on the Bahrain tribe, Horqin and other tribes."

"Your idea is quite good. If they want to take revenge on Bahrain and other tribes, the imperial court will definitely support it. Not only sending troops to cooperate, but also giving some money and food is not impossible. But now it seems that Ongjirat's tribe is on the contrary They are enjoying some of the blessings and don't want to go north to attack at all. The reason why they were called here these days is not to go north to attack Bahrain." Heshun was stunned when he heard this, and was very puzzled. He was wondering why they came here. Yang Lian could also see his thoughts.

"You will train your troops well in the future. There are many matters for the imperial court to use troops. In fact, it was not the imperial court who called these people here this time, but they took the initiative to discuss it. Therefore, there are rumors that Nurhachi wants to kill Sai Taiji. go back."

"What?"

Heshun immediately made a sound of surprise when he heard this. He never thought it would be the reason.

"The old slave finally caught Zaisai, how could he let him go so easily?"

Seeing He Shun asking in surprise, Yang Lian shook his head and said:

"Is this what Wengjirat's Taijis are worried about? That's why they came to Liaoyang to discuss matters with Governor Xiong and discuss countermeasures."

As soon as Heshun heard this, he slowly tasted this sentence in his heart and gradually understood the deep meaning.

Zasai himself has the blood of the Mongolian Golden Family and is a descendant of Yanda Khan. Before being captured by Nurhachi, he was the leader of the five tribes of Inner Khalkha.Although he was accidentally captured, his prestige is still there.

Arzhai Taiji, the former head of Wengji's Tribe, went south to Liaohetao on his own suggestion.In order to win over them, the imperial court not only allowed them to start trade, but also provided them with money, food, and silver. They lived a very comfortable life.

And now Nurhachi suddenly wants to let Zasai go back, which will definitely make it difficult for Arzhai and others.

If it were as usual and opposed to Jianlu, that would be okay.It would be difficult if Zasai was bewitched by Nurhaci and decided to submit to Jianlu.

"This old slave is really treacherous, and his planning skills are really good. It's really difficult to deal with."

Listening to He Shun's emotion, Yang Lian stroked his beard and nodded. This conspiracy really made it very difficult for them to handle.After all, Zaisai was captured by Jianlu. Even if he came back and still firmly opposed Jianlu, Yang Lian would doubt his motives.

"It's not only difficult for us, but also for everyone in the Wengjishit tribe. Nurhaci's move is indeed insidious. However, this needs to be discussed slowly. There is nothing to say if the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth."

Yang Lian has also been thinking about it these days, and he has already thought of a countermeasure, but it is just not convenient to reveal it to Heshun now.

But after they chatted for a while, Yang Lian didn't say anything more to He Shun.After a little carelessness, I mentioned Cao Wen's imperial edict to North Korea.

Now that Korea is at peace, Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian also attach great importance to Zhenjiang Fort in order to prevent the rebels from invading Korea. They not only send troops to reinforce it, but also immigrate to Zhenjiang to farm.

Heshun was filled with envy after hearing this, wondering how this Cao Wenzhao was so lucky to have achieved such a great achievement, and it was not impossible for him to rise to prominence after this.

"Don't be envious of him. People say that this person is able to achieve such great achievements because of the emperor's appreciation. But your Majesty is very accurate in judging people. This Cao Wenzhao acted decisively in North Korea and had the style of a general. He will definitely be the best in the future. He is a good person. You must get to know him more if you have the chance in the future, it will be good for you too."

When Heshun saw Yang Lian giving him such instructions, he was immediately moved and quickly bowed to thank him.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir. You have been supporting me since Shenyang, and now you have given me all kinds of advice. I am very grateful for your kindness and I can't repay you."

Listening to what Heshun said, Yang Lian shook his head. It was not because of himself that he promoted and encouraged Heshun.

"I'm just mentioning it. Your promotion is inseparable from yourself. Now His Majesty also regards Jianlu as his mortal enemy and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible. And your status is extremely special. In the future, you can divide Jianlu and win over Jianlu. Use you, this is your unique advantage.

So you don't have to be humble. Just train your soldiers well on weekdays. If there is a war in the future and make military exploits, I can report them to the court and show you my merits. "

Heshun also knew that he had a special status, because he was a Jurchen after all, and he had no foundation or backing to serve in the Ming Dynasty.

Before he met Yang Lian, he was just He Shixian's servant. If he hadn't met Yang Lian, he would never have been promoted to such a high position. Therefore, he was grateful to Yang Lian from the bottom of his heart. Now he heard Yang Lian's words and he was even more grateful. Be thankful.

"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, I will do my best in my humble position and will not let down the expectations of the court and you."

When Yang Lian heard this, he also stroked his beard. Seeing Heshun's reply, he nodded with satisfaction and gave Heshun a few more words of encouragement.

After that, Heshun stopped disturbing Yang Lian and left after saying a few words.Yang Lian was not idle either. He then wrote an inscription in the study and reported to the emperor the corruption of ink he had seen before. He did not stop until the cicadas were chirping late at night.

The next day, he got into a sedan chair and headed to Liaodong Dusi Yamen early, and Xiong Tingbi and others were waiting for him early.
