Chapter 124: The situation after the war is different
As for prejudice, there will definitely be a little bit, but there are still many things that are not assured.
Zhu Youxiao did not want to pursue those who are not guilty because of the mistakes in history. But he was not so generous and he should try his best to avoid them if possible.
Feng, the Jin Kingdom, guarded Songshan, and was able to "cry Shengjing"; He Kegang defended Jinzhou to the death, but was bound by Zu Dashou, which was sighing.
Zhu Youxiao proposed to appoint two people, in addition to historical deeds, he also had an investigation during martial arts further studies.
As for Zu Dashou, the chance of repeating the same mistake is very small, but in terms of mind and loyalty, it is a little different from these two.
The grudge still exists, Zhu Youxiao does not deny it, nor does he think there is a big problem.
Just like Zhang Pan, Kong Youde, Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan, they will always treat Zhang Pan and Kong Youde, although it is difficult to detect.
By the way, Yuan Chonghuan was not relieved by the emperor when he was placed in the Ministry of Rites, and he was sent to the local magistrate.
After Ningyuan's great victory, the arrangement was arranged in a intensive manner without any slackness. The emperor was well aware of this.
When Jiannu was defeated again, or was defeated in a crushing situation, the occupied areas were completely different and sad scenes.
In Fuzhou, the mansion of the hereditary general Liu Aita, student Jin Yingkui was reporting his experiences in Liaoshen to Liu Aita.
"Khan Zhengming was defeated again, and Dorobeldegle and several generals were killed and injured by more than 10,000 soldiers; most of the people walking on the street were anxious. Far outside the city, between the fangqu, cried all over the sky..."
After pausing, Jin Yingkui added: "Heshuo Beile Mangurtai lost one of his legs and was seriously injured and dying. I don't know if he can save it."
Liu Aita's original name was Liu Xingzuo, and was also called Liu Hai in Korean literature. He was from Kaiyuan, Liaodong. When he was young, he was plundered and sold to the Jianzhou tribe of the Jurchens as a slave.
By chance, Nurhaci met Liu Xingzuo and found that he was not only smart, understanding, but also quite talented.
The old slave admired Liu Xingzuo very much, changed his name to Aita, gave him an official position, and assigned him to the Zhenghong Banner of Dabeile Daishan.
In order to repay his favor, Liu Aita participated in the Battle of Liaoshen, and was awarded the imperial power for his merits such as attacking the enemy and pursuing the fugitives. He also made many military achievements in the subsequent battles until the deputy general and general were ordered to take charge of the four guards of Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haizhou, Gaizhou and southern Liaoning.
Now, Liu Aita is not only second only to Shiwuli's prince Tong Yangxing, but also the third most important figure in the Han official position of the prince Li Yongfang. He also married the daughter of the wet nurse of Daishan's son Sahalian, and had a marriage relationship with Lao Nu.
But Liu Aita, who has such a status and such an identity, was not very sad and concerned when she heard Jin Yingkui's story. Instead, she still had a lazy expression and asked casually: "I didn't expect that the Khan personally suffered such heavy losses."
Jin Yingkui pondered for a moment and said, "The Jinzhou has been completely lost, and the two red flags of Dabeile were also quite damaged. Sahalian fought with the Ming army in field battles, but he failed to win."
Liu Aita raised her eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "Can't even defeat the Ming army in the field?"
Jin Yingkui bowed his head and said nothing, and a silence fell into the room.
Jin Yingkui was aware of Liu Aita's emotional changes. It should be that Liu Aita intercepted the two Liao people who tried to escape to the island, but these Liao people were cruelly massacred by Nurhaci?
After a while, Liu Aita said quietly: "Since the Ming army occupied the brigade university, thousands of Liao people have fled. Even if they are floating on the sea, they are extremely dangerous, and they do not care about it."
Jin Yingkui looked up at Liu Aita, not very clear about what he meant.
"Fortunately, the Ming army sent ships to patrol the coast, but rescued a lot of people." Liu Aita also glanced at Jin Yingkui and said lightly: "The Ming army has the benefits of the navy, and it is also based on Jinzhou. It is difficult to defend the three guards in the sea!"
Jin Yingkui nodded and said, "The situation is indeed getting worse and worse, especially food and supplies. This time, the cost of launching is very large. When the green and yellow are not in contact, someone will be hungry."
The only people who are hungry are the Liao people, or the Jurchens?
Liu Aita lowered her eyes and said without saying a word. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Mr. Jin, please step down first!"
Jin Yingkui stood up to salute and left suspiciously.
As the room fell silent, Liu Aita couldn't help but sighed, stroked her forehead, and fell into a battle between heaven and man and the pros and cons.

The bump finally stopped. As the hatch door was opened, the originally unheated sunlight came in, but it was so bright that Zhao Huaiyi and others couldn't open their eyes.
Under Ningyuan City, Zhao Huaiyi killed a Jiannu official, and then stayed in the pit like a dead dog in the near collapse.
When Jiannu retreated, he thought he was a dead person; when the Ming army went out of the city to pursue him, he also thought he was dead. When he completely cleaned the battlefield, he found that Zhao Huaiyi was still alive.
But there were dozens of people who pretended to be dead in the rain of bullets like him. In addition, those who were injured and unavoided became prisoners of the Ming army.
After a strict interrogation and identification, Zhao Huaiyi and Baoyi finally received preferential treatment. They were not killed, and they had no shortage of food and drink. But only two days later, they were taken to two sea boats and sailed to an unknown place.
Didn’t they escort the capital to offer prisoners and then beheaded? Everyone’s hearts, including Zhao Huaiyi, were hung up again.
In the terrified torture, the boat finally stopped. After briefly adapting to the unheated sunshine, they finally set foot on land.
This is - Zhao Huaiyi narrowed his eyes and found that this was a harbor. There were many ships, soldiers and people on the pier, but the Liao people with the same accent.
"Are these people?" With a question, Zhao Huaiyi saw an officer coming over, his face was chubby, and he seemed to have a little smile, and he looked very kind.
The escorted officer bowed and replied, "Sir Hui, these are the Liao people from southern Liao, either Baoyi or Han soldiers, who were forced to attack Ningyuan by Jiannu."
Yang Jie nodded, his smile made people feel kind. After looking at each other, he turned around and handed over to the little officer.
"It's all my people from Daming. When we attack Ningyuan, we are also threatened by slaves. You don't have to be afraid." Yang Jie smiled at the prisoners and said, "Follow me and stay with peace of mind."
A dozen soldiers followed forward and took the prisoners away from the dock with half-obsessed.
Although it is not very supportive, it seems that life is worry-free, and these people feel a little relieved.
Yang Jie followed slowly behind him, thinking about the emperor's explanation in his secret comments.
Instigating the rebellion and rescue of the Liao people in the Jiannu ruling region is one of the key tasks this year.
These prisoners are allocated according to their regions, and some stay in the brigade for training; the other part is transferred to Pi Island, which will also become an intelligence eyeliner to sneak into the Later Jin occupied area.
Jiannu was defeated and besieged and blocked, and it was certain that there was a shortage of materials. The Liao people in the occupied areas were already in slavery and oppression, and with hunger and cold, it was predictable to rebel and escape.
In Yang Jie's opinion, this work of instigation was not difficult, but another top-secret job made him not very optimistic.
The so-called top secret is something that only the emperor and him know. Perhaps Gou Zhenhuai would have some news, but the emperor warned him not to let the third party know about it.
Once there is news, we must report directly to the emperor. This not only crossed Dongjiang Town, but also crossed Yuan Keli, who controlled Dongjiang.
Such an arrangement is obviously extraordinary, and you can imagine how much the emperor had for it.
Yang Jie thought hard about this and the only conclusion that he came to was that the emperor had other spies. Moreover, this spies should be lurking in the Later Jin Dynasty, and the level was not low.
Jiannu is definitely not the case. The Han official is of a relatively high level - Yang Jie can't think of it. But he thinks that the guess is fine, otherwise there is no explanation.
In fact, this was not the idea he had just had. Before the Guangning War, he and many Jinyiwei were sent out, and he thought that the emperor had other information channels besides the Fufu Department. However, he was not as deep as he thought.
"Mr. Yang." A greeting interrupted Yang Jie's thoughts. Looking up, it was Kong Youde.
Yang Jie had a smile on his face again and bowed, "General Kong, it's rare!"
Kong Youde was a little afraid of this smiling fat man from the bottom of his heart. When Dongjiang Town was first established, this smiling fat man took on the espionage reconnaissance work.
Jiannu, who had caught a living, was said to have been interrogating him. It was said that he took half of Jiannu's skin and screamed—
What is even more frightening is that when Yang Jie presents his confession in a blink of an eye, he smiles as if nothing has happened.
Mao Wenlong privately reminded his confidant generals not to provoke Yang Jie, that is the imperial destiny of Yan Luo.
Kong Youde agrees quite well with this. If you have a cold face and a bad temper, it is also a unity of words and deeds; but this smiling tiger is not something that a rough man like him can provoke.
It was a coincidence that day, and he walked across from the other side. Kong Youde gritted his teeth and said hello, because he was worried that he would be lacking in etiquette and not let Yang Jie hold a grudge.
"This, go down to Lushun Fort to withdraw military supplies." Kong Youde said: "Mr. Yang is—"
Yang Jie smiled and said, "Some official duties are not worth mentioning. General Kong asked for advice, so there is no need to delay."
Kong Youde hurriedly bowed his goodbye, walked a distance before rolling his eyes and letting out a long sigh.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The lively carnival of the Lantern Festival has just passed, just like you have to calm down after the long holiday, the celebration atmosphere in the capital has not completely dissipated, and people have more smiles than usual.
Bi Ziyan was ordered to enter the capital two days ago, but after reporting, the emperor did not summon him immediately. The imperial edict did not urge him too quickly. Bi Ziyan thought he was coming too fast, so he moved into the inn and waited patiently.
As for the festival, Bi Zisu, who was given a house by the emperor in the capital, came to the capital and invited him to his family to celebrate the Lantern Festival together.
In just two days, Bi Ziyan had already learned more about the court situation in Tianjin.
Although his brother Bi Zisu was rigorous and strong, he still revealed the focus of the work of the Censorate this year when he talked with his brother. As Bi Ziyan expected, the emperor really wanted to attack officials and businessmen.
It is not very accurate to start. According to the emperor, it is to rectify or purify. If you want to be an official, don’t do business, and if you want to make money, don’t become an official.
Just like clearing out arrears and replenishing wages in the village, the emperor soon issued an imperial edict, which would allow officials and businessmen to make a choice based on four months. They would either resign from their official positions or draw a clear line with business.
In Bi Ziyan's opinion, there will be basically no one to choose a resignation from his post or his post. Without an official position, and like ordinary people, which official will bear such a gap?
For some officials who are deeply involved in the business, it is not only their own business, but also their family, relatives, and friends. It is probably not that easy and simple.
Especially the powerful and noble officials in Beijing are almost all involved in business. Who has few shops in Beijing, and who has no white gloves to travel abroad?
"The admiral's inner officer of the Nine Gates was taken over by Cao Huachun, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horses was Lu Xiangsheng, a new Jinshi who returned to Beijing by Guanzheng." Bi Zisu mentioned the appointment of the emperor before the New Year, but did not say it in depth.
The Nine Gate Admiral was established in the Qing Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Nine Gate Admiral. It was mainly responsible for guarding the palace, and then began to guard the gates of the capital. It was generally held by loyal and highly qualified eunuchs.
The Five City Military and Horse Office is equivalent to the later public security bureau, responsible for police thieves in the capital, memorizing streets, ditches, prisoners, and fire bans. One commander is one, the sixth rank; four deputy commanders are each, and the seventh rank.
Bi Ziyan understood as soon as he heard this. The emperor had already mastered the Beijing camp and held the defense and security of the capital firmly in his hands. He either wanted to attack the powerful and nobles or guard against them to make trouble.
After understanding, he just nodded. Bi Ziyan didn't ask too much to make his brother embarrassed. It was extremely rare to be able to reveal these to him and there was a suspicion of revealing the holy will.
It is obviously a good thing to crack down on officials and businessmen to the Imperial Bank, which he is about to take over. Many powerful officials do not do business directly, but instead invest in shares or lend money to merchants.
Cutting off this path is just good for the development of Imperial Bank's loan business.
Moreover, in terms of loan interest rates, Imperial Bank is obviously lower than that of individual and private lending, and its competitiveness is still very strong.
"Long live to work hard to govern, wise and powerful, and has the style of a wise ruler." Bi Ziyan pondered and said slowly: "I am also the Minister of the Supervision and Payroll. I know that the war in Liaodong is very expensive. If there is no strategy to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the national finance may be in danger of collapse."
Bi Zisu nodded and said, "My brother is good at managing finances and has the ability to make money, so he is correct in his judgment. But he only impeached officials to investigate illegal laws and rectify the rules and disciplines for the sake of the long live. "
Bi Ziyan knew his brother's temper and was serious and responsible in the Censorate, and would definitely offend many officials and powerful officials. However, diligent in the affairs of the king is unshirkable.
Bi Zisu served as the chief censor of the Censorate and was called the "Seven Ministers" together with the six ministers. This was really a rocket-like promotion. With such a kindness as a renown, how could he not do his best to repay long live?
As he was talking, a servant came outside to report that the palace sent someone to summon Bi Ziyan to the Qianqing Palace to meet.
