Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 544
On the Daming side of the Yalu River, there is a watchtower about two miles away. This kind of watchtower also serves as a beacon tower. Once the enemy is found, it can be transmitted to the Kuandian camp as quickly as possible after being lit.

Along the river is an artificial dyke, then an open field, and then back is a stepped fortress, in which soldiers can be hidden, and each is equipped with a cannon.

This kind of artillery is not the latest product of Shenyang Arsenal. They are very bulky, but their power is not small, especially if they are equipped with flowering bombs or blasting bombs. If they are fired in a directional way, their power is not inferior to the new artillery. The reason why this kind of artillery is chosen , just in case, so that even if the position is lost, the enemy will not be able to transport these artillery away in a short time.

The fortresses are connected by tunnels. The criss-cross tunnels can not only quickly move the army, but also offset the impact of the enemy cavalry.

Ye Xun nodded while inspecting, and it turned out that the candidate for the guard of Kuandian was not wrong.

Cao Bianjiao arrived one day earlier than Ye Xun. Young people are very forgetful, and afterward he also understood that his uncle was doing it for his own good. The reason why he refused to stay by his uncle's side was still a bit embarrassing.

After knowing that Ye Xun was coming, he thought who Ye Xun was going to fight again, so he rushed over with a battalion of one thousand sharp knives.

Like the Ganzi Battalion, although there is no shortage of soldiers in Liaodong, the Jiandao Battalion has not been expanded either, and the number of soldiers has always remained at [-]. According to Cao Bianjiao's words, the number of soldiers is not many.

Seeing Ye Xun standing on the frozen riverside and looking at the opposite bank, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but excitedly said: "Grandpa, are you going to fight Jiannu? Brothers are all overwhelmed. You order it! The brothers from Jiandaoying will be the first to kill him!" go to Pyongyang”

Ye Xun turned his head and stared at him, snorted coldly and said, "I'm going to transfer you back to the capital, and find some old masters to teach you well, so that you won't be so impetuous all the time."

Cao Bianjiao's face immediately collapsed when he heard that Ye Xun wanted to transfer him back to Beijing.

"Elder-in-law! Let the old master teach me, you might as well kill me, and I'm wrong!"

"It's extremely easy to break, and I don't understand such a simple truth, so how can I trust you with the army?"

One sentence made Cao Bianjiao's face turn red, and he was silent for a moment, then he took a diagonal step and knelt down in front of his uncle Cao Wenzhao, and said in a low voice, "Don't blame uncle, my nephew knows it's wrong."

Cao Wenzhao quickly reached out to help his nephew, he knew that in Ye Xun's heart, his status might not be as good as this nephew.

"My family, don't need to say more, why don't you thank your father-in-law for your kindness!"

Ye Xun waved his hand, and said to Cao Bianjiao: "Your bravery is obvious to all in the army. This is your advantage, and it will also be your fatal flaw. With your combat achievements, you should have been able to stand on your own long ago. Staying by your uncle's side is to hope that you will learn more about your uncle's calmness and wisdom. It is actually my intention not to promote you this time, and I also told you that if you are still so edgy in the future, these 1000 people will not let you received"

Ye Xun's words can be said to be stern, he has rarely said this to his subordinates, as the so-called deep responsibility of love, in the future when the Central Plains are pacified, when Ye Xun is going to go to a distant place, he will take this love general with him of.

Cao Bianjiao was shocked by what he said, and once again bowed deeply to Ye Xun, saying: "My father-in-law's golden and jade words, Jiao will definitely keep it in my heart."

Now that the criticism is done, it's time to give appropriate praise.

Nodding his head, he said: "However, you're pretty good, you didn't embarrass me. In two days, take your people with me to do slave work."

Speaking of this, Ye Xun suddenly seemed to think of something, turned to Cao Wenzhao, and said, "I heard that there are still monks in Yongning Temple on Nuergan Mountain, but is it true?"

Cao Wenzhao shook his head blankly and said, "The general only knows that there is a monastery there, but he doesn't know the specific situation."

Ye Xun's suppression of Buddhism is known almost all over the world, and there are many people who believe in Buddhism, whether it is among the people or officials.

Hearing Ye Xun's question, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help thinking, could it be that Eunuch Ye is addicted to cleaning up monks, and he doesn't spare such remote temples?
Cao Wenzhao didn't know that Ye Xun had always admired those ascetic monks, and he had inquired about Yongning Temple on the way here. Someone told him that there are only two old monks in Yongning Temple, and they have always been self-reliant, never going out for alms Asking for alms, deeply respected by the local people.

If that's the case, Ye Xun still plans to visit them.

While talking, there was a sound of horseshoes coming from behind, and when I looked back, I saw that it was Sun Dong who was rushing over with his men.

To ask Sun Dong to come, one is to assassinate Fan Wencheng, and the other is to send someone to the extreme north to find Huang Taiji's shipyard.

After returning to Daying, after Cao's nephew and uncle retired, Sun Dong first made a face-to-face report to Ye Xun on his handling of Han Ping.

Regarding Han Ping's matter, Ye Xun can be said to be very distressed, but there is nothing he can do. He also has negligence in this matter.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Has his family been settled?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law. According to your order, his wife and children have been sent to Jiangnan, and his family property has not been moved."

Ye Xun turned his head and stared at Sun Dong for a while, then said, "How is Fan Wencheng's plan?"

Although Ye Xun didn't say a word of reproach, the moment of staring just now was enough for Sun Dong to remember him for life.

Secretly wiped off his cold sweat, and respectfully said: "Eunuch, don't worry, this subordinate has dispatched the most capable men to handle this matter, and will never disappoint Eunuch."

In the previous letter, Ye Xun had ordered Sun Dong to start this matter. There are many ways to kill people. The most brilliant assassination is to make the death of the target look like an accident. This is also the effect Ye Xun requested.

Ye Xun didn't continue with this matter, walked to the map, pointed to the coastline north of North Korea, and drew it all the way north.

"Immediately send someone to search along this line. If my prediction is correct, Huang Taiji's shipyard must be in this direction."

Seeing the direction drawn by Ye Xun's finger, Sun Dong's heart ached again, because he really didn't expect that there would be a shipyard so far away.

However, I was a little unconvinced in my heart. It was so cold here in Liaodong, and if I continued to go north, it would be even colder!
Ye Xun was the boss, no matter how unconvinced he had to do, he agreed repeatedly.

There was no one else in the tent, and Sun Dong was about to leave when he was stopped by Ye Xun.

"Brother Sun, you are much older than me. It is not an exaggeration to call you Brother Sun in private. You and I have known each other since we were young. Now, both the situation and life are developing in a good direction. The poor and the poor live together, the rich and the noble We also want to share it with our brothers, I don’t want any of our old brothers who came out of Liaodong to fall behind, let us be good brothers for a lifetime, Brother Sun, can you understand what I mean?”

Ye Xun's words were not only sincere, but also deeply affectionate.

Sun Dong raised his head abruptly, stared blankly at Ye Xun for a moment, then clasped his fists heavily, then turned around and strode away.
Ye Xun was a leader in his previous life, and he knew that he should not treat his subordinates blindly with prestige. That may seem okay for a while, but if things go on like this, it will inevitably make his subordinates feel alienated from you. Once the heart leaves, it will be difficult to get it back. up
