Nine hundred and sixtieth chapters stand by
The place name Maerdunzhai was not given by the Jurchens or Mongols, but a place name for the Han people. During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the border walls of Liao Town were also under the control of the Ming army.
The terrain here is very simple and there is no danger. The horse team can go around and it is easy for infantry to move forward. It is said that it is outside the side wall, but it is not the desolate scene outside the side wall to the west from Ji Town, but the villages are densely packed with fields everywhere, but it is not just the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The Liao Town General Li Pinghu and Qin Deyi led their troops to clear the enemy. This job is actually good. It is not a little bit better than being better on the Geyuan, because they are all villages and villages, which are not much different from the inland Ming Dynasty. If you want to talk about the difference, it is that there are more mountain goods and livestock, and when you plunder them, the oil and water will be even greater.
However, the troops in Liao Town have been dealing with the troops outside the border wall for a long time, and they will not do anything to burn, kill, loot, and collapse. It is nothing more than that when transiting, the villages have to provide more supplies of property and be extorted even more.
When they went out, the generals made a fortune and soldiers were happy. The Jianzhou Jurchens hid and could not even see any blood when fighting. Why not do it? This is also the rotation after Li Pinghu fought for a while.
Li Chengliang commanded Liao Town with a grand prestige. In addition to being able to command troops and fight, he was good at winning over and balanced. Since Li Pinghu made so much money in suppressing the thieves, no one else could leave. He wanted to go up and make a fortune one by one. This also shows that Liao Town was dedicated to the extermination of the Jurchens and the whole town was released together.
Qin Deyi's more than 5,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Maerdun Village. Several large families here had Han people and Jurchens. I don't know if it was a maid or a lady who sent them to Qin Deyi to bed. The benefits of the upper and lower levels were also prepared to make Qin Deyi's army comfortable.
They were also surprised that when Li Pinghu met here, they also said that the villages in Maerdunzhai and Suzihe were all shaved clean. Now, it is Jianzhou City. People outside the walls are called Hetuala, and there is still some oil and water, but the scene is not like this.
After leaving Fushun Pass, I walked along the Hun River through Sarhu, turned to Suzi River, walked through Jiefanzhai and Gulezhai, and all the way to this Maerdun Village. Not only did the Jurchens surrender along the way, the supply was also very sufficient.
When Li Pinghu came out, he started fighting several battles, but there were still some casualties. Qin Deyi's team came out and was also on guard. He walked comfortably along the way, and his vigilance continued.
I could not see any enemies along the way, and I flew far away, which made the Liao Town army soldiers traveling like an outing and having fun this time.
When we arrived at Maerdun Village, we slaughtered pigs and sheep and had soybean wine for food. We were all over the top and bottom of the army. There was a girl serving him, which was extremely comfortable.
What happened next was no different from what the military book said. The camp gate was opened in the middle of the night, and the Jurchen soldiers who emerged from there were slashes and kills.
After all, the soldiers in Liao Town were not those who were in the inland. Qin Deyi's personal soldiers protected the main general, stabilized their positions, and gathered the broken soldiers and horses in their hands and fought out step by step.
At first, they were caught off guard, and there were heavy casualties, and some people were trapped in it and could not get out. At least Qin Deyi led the brigade to break through the encirclement and ran back to Liao Town.
If such a battle was fought, only more than a thousand casualties would be killed or killed, and experienced people like Wang Tong would naturally not believe it.
The facts did not come as expected. The news from Sanjiang Trading Company arrived later. Qin Deyi brought out more than 5,000 people, at least half of the baggage was lost.
"Li Chengliang also knows that this cannot be hidden, and he is probably discussing countermeasures!"
Yang Sichen made this judgment the same as his judgment. At the end of May, the general of Liao Town, Li Chengliang, arrived in the capital.
Li Chengliang's attitude was extremely sincere. In the memorial, he showed that he despised the enemy and his subordinates were arrogant and arrogant, but he was taken advantage of the situation. However, the casualties and dispersion of more than 2,000 people were not enough to have any impact on Li Chengliang's power, and there was still a chance to make up for the mistakes he made himself.
Sure enough, the memorial said that although Qin Deyi was defeated, he had made many military achievements in the past. Please ask His Majesty to give him a chance to make meritorious service in front of the army, and to redeem his sins, Liao Town prepares to dispatch the entire army to completely wipe out the Jianzhou Jurchens and present the head of the captive chief Kou to the imperial front.
This apology memorial first clarified the responsibility, and then clarified the position of making meritorious contributions in the crime, saying that Liao Town was ready to treat it carefully and wanted to send all the troops to eliminate the sects and enemies. This was the solution. Together with this memorial, there were also a large number of taxpayers from Liao Town, who brought huge amounts of gold and silver benefits to give gifts everywhere and open up the joints.
According to the news sent by Sun Shoulian, the Li family used the old foundation of Gongzhong this time and must manage the capital and let the court allow Liaozhen to handle the matter itself.
"I know the little moves that Li Chengliang did, and I have always been afraid that something would happen to me and let me intervene. In this incident, the Li family is most worried about, and I am afraid that I will take the opportunity to intervene, which will ruin the foundation of their Li family and the wealth of generations."
Wang Tong commented that as usual, he drank with Zou Yi, Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan to discuss matters. Since Zou Yi came to Silijian as the governor and eunuch, the time has not been as free as before. This time, the appointment was because the matter in Liao Town was too big, and Emperor Wanli Yan wanted to listen to Wang Tong's opinion.
Hearing Wang Tong say this, Zou Yi pondered for a while and whispered:
"Everyone here is his own family. Liao Town has always operated a piece of iron bucket. Li Chengliang is very considerate and can't find any reason to treat him. This time it's an opportunity!"
"You can't move easily. Although Li Chengliang has always been unkind to Brother Wang, if he does this, His Majesty and the people in the world will think that Brother Wang will take advantage of the situation and will not be beautiful."
Lu Wancai shook the folding fan and said, his expression was very relaxed, and he said with a smile:
"What can those Jurchens do, just make some profits by taking advantage of the relaxation here. Liao Town really needs to be serious and can be destroyed in an instant. Liao Town suffered a loss and has already slandered its own family. "We don't have to do anything, but we just look at it, "If it does, Liao Town will catch the handle of the argument."
Zou nodded and said with a smile:
"Brother Lu is very thoughtful!"
Lu Wancai put up his folding fan and bowed. Zou Yi was in the palace for a long time. Although he had a lot of trouble, he was still slightly worse than Lu Wancai, who had been working hard outside for many years in the officialdom. Of course, Lu Wancai himself also had a narrow vision and one-sided problem of things, so he needed to get guidance from Zou Yi.
Wang Tong and several others gathered for the meeting, and they benefited a lot from each other. The two of them were happy about it, but Wang Tong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Not interfering was not the reason they said. Moreover, they underestimated the Jurchens too much. You must know that this force that looks like an ant will be a big deal in the future.
"The Jurchens are very cowardly. Their original territory was in Goryeo and they were driven out by Goryeo. Who doesn't know what cowardly looks like..."
Speaking of this, "Even Li Wenyuan is talking. In the Ming Dynasty, the evaluation of Goryeo is gentle and cowardly, a group of soft-boys. The Jurchens were driven out by them, and their strength can be imagined.
It’s just that ‘this allusion happened a long time ago, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet established a country at that time.
…………………
"Your Majesty, it is a safe way for Liaozhen to do this. After all, it is just a small defeat outside the wall, and it will not hurt the fundamentals. If the court intervenes at this time, it will be more troublesome. It is better to let Liaozhen mobilize its own strength and redeem its sins!"
As soon as Li Chengliang's memorial came, he had to be discussed at the court meeting. When Wang Tong was not there, he said that Wang Tong was at the court meeting, so he was authoritative about the discussion of related martial arts. After all, Wang Tong's qualifications are here, and no one dared to talk about military intelligence in front of him.
Originally, those who wanted to carry the Li family and Wang Tong in Liao Town had long lost their thoughts. Now everyone complained in private. The Li family itself was ridiculous. They gave Wang Tong the opportunity to intervene in for nothing. Could it be that a deputy general of the division guard would not hurt there? Now there will be a big trouble.
Now Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen, and Wang Tong are all good at speaking, Taiyuan and Ningxia are also friendly, and there are Sun Shoulian in Liao Town, and there are nine sides of the world. With so many hands in, Liao Town may also fall into his palm this time.
But what Wang Tong said in the court surprised everyone. He didn't want the opportunity in front of him...
Not to mention that the ministers in the court were so surprised. Even Emperor Wanli was a little surprised, but now he was calm, glanced at the court and spoke:
"You all think it's like everybody?"
"Your Majesty, what Mr. Wang is asking for is safe and that the military and national affairs should be so cautious."
Shen Shixing went out to speak, and the other ministers didn't say anything. The second assistant Wang Xijue pondered for a while, but said something else and said:
"Your Majesty, Liao Town is always called a strong soldier, but this time he has a defeat. The Jurchen Captain Xushi didn't know. If Liao Town still went, the risk would be great!
"Mr. Wang is worried too much. Liao Town uses the power of a town to fight against Duolun and even win a great victory. How could the Jurchen enemy bets compare to Tuman? The difference between the size and size is huge, "Why do you have to be so powerful as others."
Before Wang Xijue finished speaking, someone came out to refute. Emperor Wanli looked at him, then looked at Wang Tong again, and said in a deep voice:
"Let Li Chengliang do it. The cabinet and the ministries should do what they should do."
