Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Page 157

It is not long for Jiannu to enter the customs this time, and it is impossible to plunder all the people near Zunhua City. The same is true for recruiting people from the vicinity of Zunhua City.

This Longmen Fort is located on the border, uninhabited, and it is not easy to get some people.In addition, Zhao Wennai captured Mang Gurtai alive and beheaded countless people. He is now a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, and there is no need for him to quarrel with him because of these people.

Besides, where are these people not living?It's just a different place.

Seeing that Sun Chengzong agreed to take these people away, Zhao Wen cupped his hands at Sun Chengzong and said, "Thank you sir!"

Zhao Wen bowed to Sun Chengzong, and then walked to the rear.

Looking at the back of Zhao Wen leaving, Hong Chengchou who was beside Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "My lord, why did you let him take these people away?"

Sun Chengzong glanced at Hong Chengchou lightly, and said: "It's just some common people, where is life not life? Longmen Fort is an important border defense site, and it can't be done without people stationed."

"But this is 10,000+ people, what if he has evil intentions, what should he do?" Hong Chengchou said worriedly.

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong laughed, "You mean he is going to rebel? Haha, you are worrying too much. He is just a small Longmen Fort guard. This time he won the battle by luck, and was promoted to the general by His Majesty. Soldiers. Even if he has 10,000+ people in his hands, what waves can he make?

How many people did King Anhua and King Ning have under their command?How big is the site?How many people are there?But isn't it the same as being wiped out by the court?With hundreds of thousands of people wanting to rebel?How dare you think. "

Hong Chengchou looked at Sun Chengzong who was laughing loudly, and looked a little embarrassed.

When Zhao Wen returned to the Longmen Army, Sun Chengzong also gave him the way.

Zhao Wen led the Longmen army and escorted the people past Qin Wang's soldiers and horses.

After the Longmen Army left, Sun Chengzong led his troops to Zunhua City.

Even if Jian Nu has retired, what should be done is still to be done.

……

When Zhao Wen escorted the people back to Longmen Fort, it was already close to the end of the year.

Zhao Wen threw this commoner directly to Liu Wenzhong, and hid himself in the Garrison Mansion and fell asleep.

Ever since Zhao Wen led the soldiers out, he has hardly had a good night's sleep. This time, he managed to rest for a while, and of course he had to relax a lot.

When Zhao Wen was relaxing in the garrison mansion, Cao Huachun led the troops and came towards Longmen Castle with the reward from Emperor Chongzhen.

This time Zhao Wen captured Mang Gurtai alive and beheaded countless slaves. This reward is a must.

After the cabinet's discussion, the reward for Zhao Wen was also decided.

Zhao Wen was promoted to be the general officer of Xuanfu Town, he was given the seal of General Shuo of Zhenshuo, and he was given Mang clothes, and his son was a hundred households of Jinyiwei.

A series of rewards such as ten thousand gold rewards, one hundred pieces of silk, etc.

Originally, Chongzhen wanted to make Zhao Wen's wife Yipin Gaoming's wife, but Zhao Wen was not married at this time, so he gave up.

……

When Cao Huachun came to Longmen Fort, his eyes were not enough for an instant.

This is a fort?This is beyond the town, especially the city wall, which is so dark that it seems to be made of cement, and the ground, which is also made of cement.

"This Zhao Wen is really rich!" Cao Huachun couldn't help saying, looking at the things in Longmen Castle.

When Cao Huachun appeared in Longmen Fort, Zhao Wen also led the people to greet him in a hurry.

"Haha, Eunuch Cao, we meet again."

Zhao Wen cupped his hands at Cao Huachun with a smile on his face.

Cao Huachun jumped off his horse and said with a smile, "Haha, we meet again. It's just that I should change my words now, and I will call you Zongbing Zhao from now on."

"Haha, it's all thanks to His Majesty's love and father-in-law's contribution. Otherwise, how could I be the chief soldier? Come on, please!"

In fact, when this order was just issued by Chongzhen, Zhao Wen had already learned about it.So now I don't feel any surprise when I hear Cao Huachun like this.

Zhao Wen took out a 2000 taels of silver note from his sleeve and handed it directly to Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun took the banknote, glanced at it, and stuffed the banknote into his pocket with a smile on his face.

"Haha, General Zhao hastened to make some preparations. The miscellaneous family is here to make an announcement." Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen and said with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wendao: "The incense table and so on have already been prepared, so the father-in-law doesn't have to worry about it."

After speaking, Zhao Wen led Cao Huachun towards the garrison mansion.

When everyone came to the defense mansion, the incense table was already set up in the hall of the defense mansion.

Cao Huachun took a wooden box from his entourage, opened it respectfully, and took out a bright yellow scroll from inside.

He held up the imperial decree and looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "My minister Zhao Wen, can I ask Sheng An?"

Cao Huachun said in his shrill voice, "Saint Gongan!"

After all, Cao Huachun slowly opened the imperial decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Zhao Wenyong in the defense of Longmen Fort is brave in state affairs... Now he is promoted to the general officer of Xuanfu Town, with the seal of General Shuo of Zhenshuo, bestowed with mang clothes, and his son is a hundred households of Jinyiwei. Reward ten thousand gold, A hundred bolts of silk... this!"

Cao Huachun slowly closed the imperial decree, and looked at Zhao Wen with a smile on his face.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

Zhao Wen saluted the imperial decree, then stood up and took the imperial decree from Cao Huachun.

"Haha, congratulations!" Cao Huachun congratulated Zhao Wen a few times, then turned around, and said to the followers behind him: "Bring up all the rewards from the emperor!"

Chapter 204 Dealing with Shanxi Merchants

Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen with a smile, and opened the boxes brought up by his attendants one by one.

"It's all the emperor's reward for you!" Cao Huachun pointed to the opened box with a smile on his face.

Zhao Wen pointed at these boxes and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that ten thousand gold will be rewarded? Where is this ten thousand gold? Why didn't I see it?"

Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen, and smiled awkwardly, "Hey, how many times has this ten thousand gold been rewarded by the eight scriptures since ancient times? It's just a name. Although there is no ten thousand gold, but there is this name It is enough to see the emperor's love for you."

"Wan Jin is famous? Then there must be something real, right?" Zhao Wen looked at the embarrassed Cao Huachun and asked in a deep voice.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen's look of breaking the casserole to ask the end, and opened a box in desperation, "This is Wanjin!"

Zhao Wen looked at the opened box and took a deep breath, only to see that the box was full of copper coins.

Zhao Wen pointed at the box and said with disbelief, "Don't tell me that the ten thousand gold is these copper coins?"

"Ahem, I won't talk about what the imperial court is like. Although Jiannu has retreated now, there is no guarantee that he will make a comeback again. Hong Chengchou was conscripted to Beijing, and the thieves in the land of the Three Qin Dynasty came back again, and they also It is getting worse and worse. Now that the court is in a difficult situation and the treasury is empty, you have to be considerate of the court."

Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen who was dissatisfied, and said earnestly.

"Hey, that's not right. There is something in your words? Isn't it?" Zhao Wen suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.

The last time he was promoted to the defense of Longmen Castle, Chongzhen only threw down a set of official uniforms for himself, and then boasted a few words in a symbolic sense, not even a penny of military pay.Looking at Cao Huachun's posture now, I'm afraid Chongzhen will do this to himself again.

"Could it be that His Majesty didn't pay me for the army? This Xuan Town is no bigger than Longmen Fort. Xuan Town is bigger and needs more troops. I can still support a thousand or two thousand troops, but the whole Xuan Town Town, I'm afraid that if I lose all my family property, it may not be enough."

Zhao Wen grabbed two handfuls of copper coins from the box and dangled them in front of Cao Huachun, "How can I raise soldiers with these things?"

Cao Huachun looked at Zhao Wen, pulled his sleeve, put it close to his ear, and said in a low voice: "My lord commander, please keep your voice down. If outsiders hear this, the miscellaneous family will not be left behind." .Besides, why are you in a hurry? I haven't finished talking yet."

Zhao Wen glanced at Cao Huachun lightly, and asked: "If you don't give me military pay, let me keep my voice down? Is there any business like this in the world? The stingy landlord is still short of a job for a long-term worker. Even if I feel so emotional Is it not as good as a long-term worker? What is this? If there is no military salary, I will not do it."

"Oh, my Lord Commander, Your Majesty didn't say that you won't pay your military salary, but the method of paying your military salary may be a bit unusual and tortuous." Cao Huachun hurriedly grabbed Zhao Wen's sleeve and said anxiously.

Zhao Wen raised his eyebrows at Cao Huachun, and said, "What? The military salary is still tortuous? What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Wen couldn't figure out the meaning of Cao Huachun's words for a while, how can the military salary be twisted?What kind of twists and turns?

"General Zhao, let me tell you this. The Zajia came this time not only to announce the decree for you. The Zajia is also responsible for the emperor's order. Let me tell you this. The emperor is going to attack Shanxi merchants. Your military salary, It was scraped from these Shanxi merchants."

Cao Huachun narrowed his eyes, with an extremely weird smile on his face.

Zhao Wen squeezed his chin, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is really going to attack Shanxi merchants? What is Your Majesty going to do? Do you want to destroy them one by one or catch them all? If you destroy them one by one, it will probably take a lot of time, right?"

To be honest, Zhao Wen hoped that Chongzhen could wipe out all the Shanxi merchants, so that the cancer of Shanxi merchants could be directly destroyed.

Not only can it be destroyed, but also a lot of benefits can be obtained from it.

Cao Huachun sneered and said: "Hehe, the emperor's natural choice is to cut through the mess quickly and catch everything in one go. After today, the Zajia will rush to Datong to collect evidence of Shanxi merchants as soon as possible. Of course, with these people in the hands of the Zajia, the Zajia will It is estimated that they may not be the opponents of Shanxi merchants, so the miscellaneous family hopes to borrow some troops from General Zhao, which is also agreed by the emperor.

It is estimated that you have almost done the things in your hands, and when you moved to Xuanzhen Town, the evidence of the miscellaneous family was almost collected.At that time, directly mobilize your troops and horses, and search the houses of these Shanxi merchants one by one.

This time, the emperor does not want to pass the cabinet and the Ministry of punishment.The emperor wants us to complete this matter directly.How much wealth do the eight Shanxi merchants have, I believe General Zhao will not know it?At that time, even if the big head is handed over to the emperor, the leftover soup will be enough for the two of us.How many soldiers you want to raise is probably not a problem. "

Cao Huachun waved his hand, his eyes lit up, and he said quite boldly.

Zhao Wen looked at Cao Huachun with a different kind of light in his eyes, "You are going to Datong to collect evidence of Shanxi merchants betraying the country. I have someone here who may be very useful to you."

As he said that, Zhao Wen asked his personal guards to bring Fan Zheng's son, Fan Yutian, here.

Cao Huachun looked at Fan Yutian with doubts on his face.

Pointing at Fan Yutian, he asked in a deep voice, "Who is this person?"

Zhao Wen smiled slightly and said, "This man's background is extraordinary!"

Zhao Wen pointed to Fan Yutian, and then slowly revealed Fan Yutian's life experience.

Listening to Zhao Wen's explanation, Cao Huachun clapped his hands together, and said excitedly: "Haha, General Zhao is really a timely help to the Zajia. Once it comes, it will save a lot of time.”

"Haha, aren't we all doing things for His Majesty? It's convenient for you, so it's convenient for me. Don't you think so?" Zhao Wen looked at Cao Huachun and laughed.

……

At this time, Huang Taiji led the troops back to Liaodong.

But when he just stepped into the territory of Liaodong, he was dumbfounded.

In Liaodong today, there are broken castles everywhere, and fires are burning everywhere.

Corpses with their heads cut off can be seen on the road at any time, and their entire bodies are solidly frozen on the ground.

Some of the corpses were even stripped to nothing, leaving nothing behind.

When a group of wild wolves gnawing at the corpses saw them, they whimpered and stared at Huang Taiji and the others vigilantly.

These corpses are the people of Jiannu, but now they have been killed by soldiers of Dongjiang Town.

Not only that, even Liaoyang City, the throat of Shengjing City, was burned to the ground.

Moreover, Shengjing City is not much better than Liaoyang City.

When Huang Taiji led the troops back to Shengjing City, he almost died of anger.

The walls of Shengjing City are full of big holes, and a large piece of blue bricks wrapped in the rammed earth layer was blown away, leaving the rammed earth layer exposed everywhere.

Just when Huang Taiji was angry and wanted to kill someone, Dai Shan led the defenders in the city and rushed out.

Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji and knelt directly in front of Huang Taiji.

"Khan, the slave is guilty." Dai Shan knelt in front of Huang Taiji and kept kowtowing, his face full of panic.

Huang Taiji jumped off his horse and stood in front of Daishan, his face was full of anger, "What's going on? What happened to the whole Liaodong? Give me an explanation!"

"Khan, since you left, the dog thieves in Dongjiang Town got a batch of weird artillery from nowhere, and captured Liaoyang City overnight. Burned to ashes by these dogs.

The servant originally wanted to lead the army to attack these thieves, but the servant was afraid that if the servant left, he would be attacked by the Ming dogs and seize the opportunity to capture Shengjing City, so the servant could only stick to Shengjing City. "

Dai Shan kowtowed to Huang Taiji non-stop, and said in tears.

"Hehe, you are really worried about Shengjing City, you incompetent thing, you are afraid of being tricked by Ming Gou, and you just sit back and watch Ming Gou wreak havoc in Liaodong? Are you really a competent Baylor?"

As soon as Huang Taiji raised his hand, he waved the whip in his hand and whipped it fiercely towards Daishan.

Daishan kept rolling on the ground, yelling words like forgiveness.

But Huang Taiji didn't let him go because of this reason, and kept pulling the whip in his hand towards Daishan.

When Huang Taiji put down the whip in his hand, Dai Shan had already been whipped badly by Huang Taiji.

"Pass down the order to revoke the name of Daishan Dabeile and restrain him. People in Dabeile's mansion are not allowed to come and go at will without Ben Khan's order!"

Huang Taiji looked at Daishan, threw the whip in his hand on the ground fiercely, stepped over Daishan, and headed towards the city.

Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji who was going away, and said in a weak voice: "I thank you, my servant!"

……

After seeing off Cao Huachun, Zhao Wen sat in the hall and looked at the opened box in front of him.
