Chapter 434
If you don't sew three, six, or nine today, you don't have to go to court.

After Yang reformed, he dealt with the memorials in the Qianqing Palace, and did not plan to go to the Wenhua Palace, and the cabinet members did not go to the Wenhua Palace every day.

"Your Majesty, the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rituals, please allow your Majesty to participate in the arrangement of "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array." The little eunuch said while holding the memorial.

Yang Reform nodded, since someone wants to participate, then let's participate, it's not a big deal, and said: "Quite".

The little eunuch handed the memorial to another eunuch, and this eunuch painted red on the memorial and wrote the emperor's opinion.Then he handed it to the emperor for review, Yang Reform took a hasty glance, waved his hand, and this memorandum was taken for printing again, this memorandum was considered finished.

He also dealt with a few minor matters. Even if Yang Reform had finished dealing with today's government affairs, he was going to take time out of the palace to see Liu Xingzuo, who had faked his death, and was going to let him publish a "book".

"Big companion, I will go out of the palace later to see Liu Xingzuo." Yang Reformed.

"Obey, Your Majesty!" Wang Cheng'en agreed. Recently, the emperor was free and had more time to go out of the palace.

Just as he was talking, a young eunuch hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, Master Sun has something important to see His Majesty."

Sun Chengzong?Yang Reform was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what had happened, otherwise Sun Chengzong wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"See you right away." Yang Reformed.

Sun Chengzong came in, not anxious, but relaxed, and said, "Your Majesty, I just received the news that the Eastern Prisoners have withdrawn from Zhenjiang Fort."

call……!Yang Reform breathed a sigh of relief, this is really good news, the wild boar skin can't resist anymore, seeing that there is no hope for the siege, he is going to retreat, that is to say, in the first year of Chongzhen, he won the contest with the wild boar skin up.

"Let's go to the platform." Yang Reform didn't think much, and immediately said, the wild boar skin was withdrawn from Zhenjiang Fort, and the whole situation in the north has changed a lot, and it has to be rearranged.

Soon, a group of people went straight to the platform.

As soon as the emperor entered the platform, someone shouted: "Stand at attention!" The people on the platform affirmed it, put down what they were doing in an instant, and stood still.

"Take it easy!" Yang Huaihe waved his hand, as if he had seen it before, someone shouted to take a rest, and the people on the platform seemed to come back to life, continuing to do their own things in an orderly manner.

Yang Reform went straight to the front of the big sand table, looked at the sand table, and said, "Master Sun, how is the situation in Dongjiang Town? Can it be degraded?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong took the small wooden stick and began to explain to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, according to the news just received, after the reinforcements entered Zhenjiang Fort, Donglu has never launched an attack. Although they are still surrounding Zhenjiang Fort, they still capture a large number of Koreans from Jiangdong every day, but they no longer attack the city. They are all hidden in the mountain depressions, and they don't show their heads at all, and they don't even clean up the trenches. It rained and filled the trenches before, but they didn't clean them up. They let the water fill the trenches. North Korea pulled things, captured people, and things were transported directly to the lairs of the Eastern Captives, and it lasted for several days..." Sun Chengzong moved his baton back and forth on the sand table, and kept explaining the contents of the battle report to the emperor .

Yang Reform nodded, and he already roughly understood what was going on. It seems that the sentence that dogs can't change eating shit, and thieves don't leave empty space is correct. A robber is a robber, and he is a robber wherever he goes. Well, it's really tasteless to snatch a North Korean before leaving. Yang Reform cursed secretly.

"...The preliminary judgment should be that Donglu felt that there was no hope of victory, and the mountain was about to be covered by heavy snow. He estimated that he wanted to grab North Korea, so he retreated..." After Sun Chengzong explained, he came to a conclusion.

There are also a few young generals on the side, serving as staff officers, including Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who all looked at the emperor in surprise. This time, they finally won the battle with the Eastern Raja Tartars, and they won beautifully. Those who won under the auspices have deep admiration for the emperor.

"Hehehe..., I have established a country in the East, and I will change it. I didn't expect it. I still have the same virtue, and the thief will not go away! Hahaha..." Yang Reform had every reason to laugh at the wild boar skin , smiling very smartly and confidently.

"Your Majesty Quan Nai's sage is wise, planning in the golden palace, winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away..." Several attendants started to flatter the emperor, and Donglu's withdrawal by himself undoubtedly showed that they had completely lost this battle. , this battle ended with the victory of the Ming Dynasty, and the victory was beautiful, so there is enough capital to be happy and show off.

Sun Chengzong also smiled rarely, and said: "Your Majesty, just as your Majesty said, the withdrawal of the Eastern Captives, this offensive launched by our Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as our victory. This is not only a great victory for Zhenjiang Fort, but Great victory for the whole north!" Sun Chengzong also said with a smile, after suffering with the emperor for a long time, finally ushered in a victory, and it was a big victory, anyway, it is something to be happy about.

"That's right! With the withdrawal of the Donglu, the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, I won the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, the whole front, the whole battle, I, Daming, won. It's almost winter now, and it's going to snow outside the pass. , Once the heavy snow closes the mountain, it will be impossible to fight again, hehehe, to put it bluntly, I will win the war this year..." Yang Reform said with a smile, now it is almost November of the lunar calendar, that is, The winter moon is here, and it will soon snow and seal the mountains. When it snows, there is no need to fight this battle. If there is a war, at least it will be next year. Therefore, this year, I won the war in the first year of Chongzhen , which will be quite an important matter.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a great event worthy of celebration! This fence is becoming more and more tired." Sun Chengzong said with a smile. The victory in the battle of Zhenjiang Fort means that Donglu has been re-locked into a In the narrow space of the area, the fence for the Donglu has become tighter and tighter, and the pace of trapping the Donglu is getting closer and closer.

"Well, that's not bad. This time Donglu hurt North Korea badly. North Korea won't deal with Donglu again. I have sent Liu Jishan to question North Korea. I believe there will be good news soon. Besides, We defended Zhenjiang Fort, which can be regarded as cutting off the passage between North Korea and Donglu. To the east and southeast is Mao Wenlong, Jinning is Yuan Chonghuan, and west is Lin Danhan. The Donglu is completely surrounded. If he gets sleepy for a few more years, if I don't need Da Ming to beat him, he will starve to death, hey hey, now there are natural disasters spreading inside and outside the pass, life for the Donglu is not easy!" Yang Reform was very open-minded.

"His Majesty Quan Nai's Golden Palace is in the process of planning..." Sun Chengzong also blushed, and praised the emperor once. Although the platform is nothing compared to the three main halls, it is still in the Forbidden City, so it is not too much to say about the Golden Palace share.

"...According to Dongjiang Town's estimates, Donglu will retreat this time. It is estimated that a large part of the place will be abandoned. Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, and even part of Haizhou may be abandoned. Connecting Zhenjiang Fort, Phoenix City, Kuandian, and even the Yuanshan Pass, Donglu may not be able to defend it. This time Donglu and my Ming Dynasty fought, it was considered a bone-shattering one. There is no more rice for the pot.” Sun Chengzong said with a strong smile, just confronting Donglu, and Donglu was seriously injured. It has to be said that the emperor is sure and the strategy is right. If the emperor is changed, The one-brained demand for a quick battle and a quick decision will undoubtedly fall into Donglu's plan. If Donglu's wish is fulfilled, something bad will definitely happen. How can it be so easy to win now?Now the war is at a stalemate with the Donglu, and the Donglu can't stand the stalemate anymore. In addition, after being beaten by Huang Taiji in the west, Lin Danhan is determined to take revenge. He is constantly active on the western front. Today he will grab a Niulu, and tomorrow he will grab a tribe. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of Donglu is no longer there, he keeps harassing Donglu, making Donglu uneasy, and Donglu will not have a good life.

"Hmph, it's hard for me in Ming Dynasty, but it's even more difficult for Donglu! I'm suffering from disasters in Ming Dynasty, but I can get help and relief from others. Where can I get help from that little place and people in Dongkui? The only way to get help is to get hungry and thinner. "Yang Reform also said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, in the current battle, the territory of the Mongolian right wing is not counted. Liaodong Town alone has regained hundreds of miles of lost ground! Your Majesty, this is a rare victory! If you include the Mongolian right wing and the land outside the customs, this is a huge achievement." It is hundreds of miles away, Your Majesty, for this great victory, we should sacrifice to the Taimiao and comfort our ancestors." Sun Chengzong said, getting excited.

However, Yang Reform did not have too much enthusiasm for these lands. Before the war, he didn't care about the land, he didn't care about the city, and he even allowed the army to retreat, lose the battle, etc., not because of this little land.

"Master Sun, I said before the battle that I don't care about the city, I don't care about the loss of land, I don't care about the defeat, I don't care about the battle, I don't care about anything, as long as I pester Donglu. Now, although Donglu is defeated, it is far from the point of defeat. , It seems a little early to pay homage to the Taimiao..." Yang Reform is very sober, and his enthusiasm for that land is not so high. Nowadays, the undeveloped land in the world is several times the size of the Ming Dynasty. As long as we keep our feet, we can solve After getting rid of a few troubles around him, he started the pace of colonization without worrying about nowhere.

"Your Majesty is still wise, the old minister is confused, confused!" Sun Chengzong quickly understood, he was happy at this time, it was indeed earlier, Donglu was injured a little, far from being seriously injured, let alone dying Even though the Eastern Prisoners have retreated in those places, they are still enclaves, and it is useless to ask for them.

Yang Reform looked at the sand table for a while, and said: "This time the Eastern captives are retreating, Yuan Chonghuan's pressure will be much greater at once! Although it is almost winter, as long as it hasn't snowed, we have to guard against it! And Man Gui Where, don't be too careless, back off appropriately, don't let Donglu take advantage of the loopholes, and make him ashamed..."

"Your Majesty, the old minister has already forwarded the news to General Man. Where Yuan Ziru relies on Dongjiang Town, he should have received the news long ago. The old minister has also forwarded a message to let them pay attention." Sun Chengzong said immediately.

"Okay! Remind them, be vigilant, don't fight lightly, and try to maintain this year's record as much as possible. As long as it snows, it will be fine. If it snows, this year's record will be settled, and this is victory." Yang Reform said, now , as if the dust had already settled down, when the heavy snow closed the mountains, even if the dust had settled, this year's record would no longer be afraid of making mistakes.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Chengzong understood what the emperor meant, and said in a low voice, "I obey."

……

Liaodong, Jinzhou.

Governor Yamen.

The news of Dongjiang Town was also sent to Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan felt uncomfortable with the urgent information from Zhenjiang Fort.

He is the dignified governor of Liaodong, the mainstay of resisting the Eastern captives, but in the war against the Eastern captives in the first year of Chongzhen, he was doing nothing, doing nothing, and gaining nothing.

Mao Wenlong used himself as a bait to catch Tartars in Zhenjiang Fort, fought with Tartars, and gained countless gains. On the front of Jinning, except for confronting Tartars, he still confronted and attacked all day long. Yuan Chonghuan felt that there was not much chance of winning. To attract Tartars to attack?Yuan Chonghuan couldn't be as ruthless as Mao Wenlong, writing a letter of rebellion with the Tartars, and he didn't want to learn from Mao Wenlong and hang the heads of a whole city of Tartars on it.Although he didn't win anything, Liu Jishan was able to get the heads wherever he received many heads from Lin Danhan.

Mangui doesn't say anything. It is said that they are the happiest officers and soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty. They suppress the Mongols all day long and clean up the Mongols. The head is not as valuable as the Tartars, and it is not as valuable as the Tartars' heads, but other people live happily, and even the bitterness of the frontier soldiers follows him.

Although Lin Danhan was not under his Ming Dynasty's jurisdiction, he was also in an alliance with them. Although he was severely beaten by Huang Taiji, he also got a lot of heads. Now, he is also sent to Jinning every now and then. Of course, It was sent to Liu Jishan, not him.As a result, even Liu Jishan, a man who does not fight wars, has many heads, but he can't take out one.

Apart from anxiety, Yuan Chonghuan just sighed, without a clue, and without a way to break the situation. Now, the news of Dongjiang Town came, and the Tartars retreated. This war is completely over. The war is over, but his Where's the head?But I didn't get a single one!How do you explain this to the court?How to explain to the emperor?Although he also knew that he had put in a lot of effort in this battle, and his credit was indispensable in terms of merit and reward, but Yuan Chonghuan always felt that compared with some people, he was very bleak.This mainstay, don't you feel ashamed and panic?

"Hey..." Yuan Chonghuan let out a long sigh.Facing the small school next to him, he said: "Order all the troops and generals to come to the governor's office to discuss matters!" Yuan Chonghuan packed up his feelings and had to start working. Give him Jin Ning a slap in the face, then not only will he be useless in this battle, but he will also be the laughing stock of others.

……

"Interesting, interesting!"

On the Liaodong Sea, on a warship heading towards Phi Island, a man dressed as an official had just heard about the retreat of the Zhenjiang Fort Tartars from a past warship, and he couldn't stop talking about it.

This person is Liu Jishan who is going to North Korea. His purpose this time is to question the leader of North Korea, bring North Korea back into the arms of Ming Dynasty, tighten the encirclement that besieged Donglu, and sell weapons to North Korea by the way.After receiving the news that the Zhenjiang Fort Tartars had withdrawn and made a fortune from North Korea before leaving, I couldn't help laughing, I really want to sleep, I want a pillow, the Tartars do this, I don't need too much tongue, North Korea He will return to Daming, and after a little deception, he will buy a lot of weapons. The task given by the emperor is undoubtedly quite simple.

……

Yang Reform finished the affairs on the platform, left the palace, and was going to see Liu Xingzuo.

After turning around the street a few times, the carriage entered a quiet yard.

Yang Reform entered the living room skillfully, and knew exactly what objects were placed there.

"My lord, do you want to bring that person up?" Wang Chengen has become a housekeeper.

Yang Reform took a sip of tea and said, "Bring it here."

"Little one obeys." Wang Chengen agreed.

After a while, a strong man was brought into the living room by the guards.

Entering the living room, the man looked around, looking very strange, and finally saw Yang Reform sitting on the upper seat, and the strong man behind him, he was taken aback.

"I have met you, young master." This person is Liu Xingzuo. Although he doesn't know the background of this young master in front of him, he knows that this person must be extraordinary, so he saluted humbly immediately.

"See you, nice to meet you." Yang Reform simply said, without even putting down his teacup.

Liu Xingzuo was surprised!What I did was a big gift, and this person just replied like this, what a big air, no, what a big background!

"Young master, I don't know your surname or name. I don't know if I can know it?" Liu Xingzuo treated him more cautiously. This young master's demeanor is really extraordinary, not like ordinary people.

"It doesn't matter what my son's name is. What's important is that my son can decide your affairs." Wang Chengen said from the side.

Liu Xingzuo was surprised!If he wants to turn back to the Tartars, all he contacts are the big officials of the Ming Dynasty, either Mao Wenlong or Yuan Chonghuan, or the governors of other places. Judging by the tone of this young man, he seems to be older than them.

"Can you really be the master? Even Lord Mao and Lord Yuan may not be able to be the master of the matter..." Liu Xingzuo asked tentatively.

"Okay, Liu Xingzuo, you don't need to test it anymore. We all know Mr. Yuan and Mr. Mao you are talking about. When they see my son, they have to bow three times and bow nine times. Don't you understand?" Wang Chengen basically Just to be blunt.

Liu Xingzuo looked at the son in front of him in surprise, he was really too young, this is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty who could give out 1000 million taels of silver to relieve the disaster, he knelt down on the ground immediately, kowtowed repeatedly, and said: "The sinner Liu Xingzuo kowtowed to me Long live the emperor, long live the emperor..."

"Okay, excuse me. This is not the main hall, but there are so many etiquettes." Yang Reform smiled. The value of this person is still great. He knows a lot of inside information. I know a little bit, this is a very important witness, it is worth seeing him myself, I met him myself, and gave him a promise to let him spit out everything he knew. Even better, in the future, there will be all human and material evidence.

"Sinners don't dare!" Liu Xingzuo knelt on the ground and dared not get up. He never thought that he would be received by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in person, or that the emperor came out of the palace to meet him.

"Do you know why my son wants to see you?" Yang Reform didn't mind other people kneeling and talking, so he asked.

"Sinners don't know." Liu Xingzuo said.

"Actually, my son is very interested in the situation of Donglu, especially the affairs of the upper echelons of Donglu. You also know that now I am fighting Donglu, and I know the inside story of Donglu's senior management. It is very important, you should have heard of the so-called know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles, so, knowing that you are anyway, so I came here to meet you in person, and you can ask me if you have any requests." Yang Reform said.

"Sinners are people who know how to turn back when they go astray. It is a blessing for sinners not to abandon you. If you want to know the inside story of the Tartars, Xing Zuo will say everything, and you will not hide anything. Dare to hope, but I ask you to conceal the identity of the sinner for the time being, the sinner escaped by feigning death, and the sinner's relatives and brothers on the side of the Tartars are also looking for opportunities..." Liu Xingzuo agreed wholeheartedly.

"Very well, this is no problem, you should hide in the capital for the time being, don't go out and hide, and record everything you saw and heard in Donglu with peace of mind, and read your book when I am free. , pay attention, what you write involves confidentiality, remember to keep it secret, and don't let anyone know about it except you. The fewer people who know about this matter, the better. When your brothers come over, I will arrange for you brothers Some good errands will definitely not let you down..." Yang Reform promised.

"Thank you for your great kindness, my lord. The sinner will remember the five things, and he will never forget it." Liu Xingzuo was overjoyed. It is undoubtedly a very safe thing to get the promise of the current emperor. The reputation of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is quite good. Entering the emperor's sight and getting on line with the emperor, this was something he didn't expect at first.
