I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 77 Jin Yiwei is in Liaoyang
I asked Wang An and the others to do the Ouchi investigation.

After they retreated, Zhu Youxiao had time to look at the question book.

Opening the table of contents, the first thing that caught his eye was the question book about impeaching Yang Lian. This made Zhu Youxiao curious about what Yang Lian did in Liaodong to allow others to impeach him again.

So he sent someone to get the title book that Yang Lian submitted, and then he learned that Yang Lian had helped Xiong Tingbi fight corruption in Liaodong, and he had done a good job with remarkable results.

It was discovered that many officials in Liaoyang were stealing and reselling weapons and food privately. The weapons issued to the soldiers were all rotten and unusable, and the food was adulterated. Yang Lian was not afraid of offending anyone, arresting those who deserved and interrogating those who deserved trial.

Not to be outdone, Xiong Tingbi followed the trend and thoroughly investigated the Liaoyang warehousing and corruption case. He even captured the chief officials of the Liaodong Dusi's Money and Grain Department and the Military and Horse Department, and confiscated their embezzled money to purchase supplies, allowing Liaoyang to The corruption in the country dropped sharply, and the soldiers below also clapped their hands and applauded.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help nodding and secretly approving his actions.This is the use of Yang Lian. This kind of person with a strong sense of morality is not afraid of offending others. It is not good to use it to fight corruption.

However, he also saw that Yang Lian mentioned in the title book that he discovered that Nurhaci had moved the capital to Sarhu and intended to move westward.Zhu Youxiao knew this best. By February next year at the latest, Jianlu would attack Liaoyang and start the Battle of Liaoshen.

Zhu Youxiao attaches great importance to this battle, because it is directly related to whether the situation in Liaodong will collapse. He continues to reuse Xiong Tingbi this time and spares no effort to provide support, but he is not sure whether he can withstand it.

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao remembered that Yang Lian had mentioned in the title book that he hoped to allocate another batch of Hongyi cannons and muskets to Liaodong.

After thinking about it, he asked He Ning to draft an edict and asked Xu Guangqi to send half of the refined Hongyi cannons to Liaodong for military use from now on. This will be done every month in the future.

At the same time, the muskets stored in the warehouses of the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau were counted, and [-] of them with qualified quality were selected and sent to Liaodong with sufficient gunpowder.Of course, there are other artillery pieces, such as prisoner-killing cannons, three-eyed muskets, etc. You can also allocate as many as possible after checking them all.

After He Ning drafted it immediately, Zhu Youxiao approved it and sent it to the cabinet for execution.He can provide enough equipment. It depends on whether Xiong Tingbi and others can do it well.

He was also trying to recall all the details he had seen about the Battle of Liaoshen.Recalling the Battle of Liaoshen at that time, one of the main reasons for the fall of Shenyang was that the surrendered soldiers cut off the ropes of the city gate suspension bridge. He Shixian, who was fighting out of the city, could not enter the city. You Shigong went to the west gate to rescue He Shixian, but was defeated by the Qing army. Die in battle.

Because the commander-in-chief He Shixian and You Shigong died in battle, the Ming army had no one to control it, and there were rebellions among the Liao people who surrendered to the Yi and surrendered to the Qing army. Shenyang was captured by the Qing army on the second day.

Thinking of this, he looked at the title book presented by Yang Lian. He arrived in Liaoyang first with light equipment. The Jin Yiwei guards were slower to leave, but now counting the dates, the Jin Yiwei should have arrived as well.
-
This is indeed the case. At this time, Yang Yishan, the commander of Jinyiwei, had already escorted the salary to Liaoyang City.

The first thing he did after arriving was to escort the salary to the Liaodong Dusi and hand over it to the people from the Qianliang Department.

During the handover, he learned from the Qianliang Division about the great things Yang Lian had done in Liaoyang City recently, and couldn't help but admire him, so he also sent a greeting card to Yang Lian's residence. However, he was told that Yang Lian had no time during the trial, so he just I can go to see Xiong Tingbi and explain my purpose of coming.

No one knew what the Jin Yiwei wanted to do when they came to Liaodong. Zhu Youxiao also made it clear that he could only talk to Xiong Tingbi, so Yang Lian didn't know either.Therefore, when he learned that Jin Yiwei was visiting, Xiong Tingbi was also surprised. Why did Jin Yiwei come?But out of courtesy, he still took the time to meet Yang Yishan.

After the meeting, Yang Yishan didn't waste much time and directly informed Xiong Tingbi of his mission. This made Xiong Tingbi very happy. He had always been troubled by the Yi people and Liao people who surrendered, so he had to use them. However, he couldn't tell the difference between loyalty and treachery. Dare to reuse.

Seeing that the emperor actually sent the Jin Yiwei to help him, he thought it would save a lot of trouble. However, he knew that during the Korean War, the Jin Yiwei had made contributions in the intelligence field and had experience in espionage and counter-espionage work.

So he immediately expressed that he would cooperate as much as possible and asked the clerk to arrange housing, food and accommodation, etc., but Yang Yishan refused, and only asked for an office space, and if the Liaodong Dusi could provide assistance when he was arrested.Xiong Tingbi naturally agreed. It would be a great thing to help him catch spies and solve internal problems without using any help.I just ask Jin Yiwei to inform him in time if he discovers anything.

After a brief ventilation, Yang Yishan led his people out of the yamen. As soon as he left the yamen, he saw someone coming to meet him. After confirming the location, he signaled the people behind him to walk around more in Liaoyang to get familiar with the place and then meet at the meeting point. .

After saying that, he followed the contact person to a three-entry courtyard in Liaoyang Nancheng. Zuo Shouyun and others who arrived first were already waiting here. When they saw Yang Yishan, they all stood up and bowed:
"My lord!" "My lord!"········

"Well, you have worked hard during this period. Liaodong is suffering. We are here to work hard. Before we left, Mr. Luo specially told us that His Majesty attaches great importance to our trip to Liaodong and specifically told us not to treat us badly. We are here to pay our salary. Times, if you have made great achievements, the reward will be calculated separately.

Therefore, we have to work hard and never let down the emperor's favor. Once we have done our job, I will ask Mr. Luo to ask for credit from His Majesty for us. When the time comes, it will not be difficult to be promoted and make a fortune, to honor our ancestors and to be the lintel of our gate. "

When everyone heard this, their spirits perked up, and they instantly felt like they were gearing up for a big fight.

Seeing that everyone was excited after hearing the words, Yang Yishan was also full of confidence. If it weren't for meritorious service, who would be willing to come here in the bitter cold of Liaodong.

After the opening remarks, he was about to get down to business, so he asked Zuo Shouyun:
"How did the others arrange it? Did anyone find any suspicious objects?"

Zuo Zuoyun also knew that he would ask this question and had already prepared it.

"Beizhi arrived here half a month ago and asked Lu Guangguo to take ten people to Shenyang. Beizhi took the rest in Liaoyang. He first settled the brothers and then bought three houses as a joint place for operations.

At the same time, the brothers below were also asked to inquire about information and bribe informants in Liaoyang City. Unexpectedly, there was a lot of information. "

It turns out that there are many soldiers, officials, Liao people, southerners, and Tatars in Liaoyang City. They are a mixed bag, and some people are lax, so it is easier to spy on information.

Zuo Shouyun was also smart. He bribed some well-informed people such as beggars and servants in restaurants in the city and asked them to pay attention to the news about Jianlu in the north. If there is any suspicious news, they can report it. If it is really valuable, he will be rewarded. .

When these people heard this, they were very interested and soon achieved results.

It turns out that there is a direct descendant of the Zhang family, a wealthy family in Liaoyang City. He also likes to drink and joke, and he is also a frequent visitor to the restaurant. Yesterday, he had a conflict with a Sichuan soldier who was drinking next to him in the restaurant.

When he was drunk, he told him to stop being so arrogant and to wait until February or March next year to make him look good. Fortunately, the servants at home quickly took him away and apologized.

When Zuo Shouyun received the news, he felt strange. Even they had just learned about Jianlu's intention to move the capital to the west, and they also knew that Jianlu might come to attack.But why is this person so sure that he will make the Sichuan Army look good in February and March? Is there something fishy about it?
