Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 140
Liaodong Shanhaiguan!
Thirty thousand Ming officials and Jin Yiwei entered the pass,

Zhu Fu, Duke of Cheng, Xiong Yi, Censor of Zuodu, and Shen Lian, Commander of Jinyiwei.

The three were imperial envoys sent by Zhu Houzhao to Liaodong to investigate the attack on Yuhuatian. Unbelievable things often happen in the Liaodong Peninsula.

On the way for the three of them to Liaodong, Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, secretly confessed to them, asking them to make things bigger and kill as many people as possible.

As for what it means, they still can't figure it out for the time being, but they can see that this is His Majesty's meaning.

It is very likely that His Majesty's killing spree in Liaodong is to give the Manchu Tartars a blow. There are many Manchu Tartars entrenched here. If more Tartars can be killed, more riots will be reduced in the future.

When Shen Lian went to Liaodong, he received a secret decree from Zhu Houzhao.

"If the Jurchens in Jianzhou are not wiped out, there will be endless troubles. The disaster that attacked the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will be diverted to the Tartars. Even if they are not responsible for it, they must be said to be responsible for it."

When Shen Lian received this secret decree, his hands trembled in fright.

There are as many as 60 Jurchens in total. According to His Majesty's will, all of them should be wiped out. To wipe out 3 Tartars with more than 60 soldiers is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

Shanhaiguan Liaodong General Army Mansion.

The [-] troops surrounded the General Military Mansion, and Zhu Fu and others entered the mansion.

The general soldiers of Liaodong guard Shanhaiguan to prevent foreign invasion. This Shanhaiguan is called the first pass in the world.

At this time, the general army of Liaodong holds great power, with [-] troops in Shanhaiguan.

How powerful the former Liaodong General Soldier was, but when he heard that Zhengde was attacked because of Yuhuatian, he was furious and immediately frightened out of his wits.

When he heard that His Majesty sent the commander of Jinyiwei to Liaodong to investigate the case, he knew that he had a great responsibility, so he couldn't get rid of the relationship, so he simply hanged himself.

After investigation, the Liaodong General Soldier spent 13 years as a soldier, with a total embezzlement of 30 taels of silver, wives and concubines in groups, and cultivated many cronies.

But just one thing, anyone who is greedy for money or money will be beheaded.

At this point, the officials in Liaodong were panicked, and this panic came from top to bottom. Even a first-rank official would be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he could not protect himself.

Even if he is a high-ranking official in Liaodong, he will leave at the emperor's word. If he is greedy for money, it will affect three generations.

At this time, all the imperial envoys arrived, and a major earthquake occurred in Liaodong officialdom.

First, Zhu Fu sent people to take over the military power in Shanhaiguan after confiscating the mansion, and then quickly reported the matter to the court.

In Liaodong officialdom, from the first-rank governor to the yamen of various prefectures and counties, every official is so nervous that if he is involved, troubles will come one after another.

"Reporting to your majesty, please go to Heaven to listen. The case of the surprise attack on the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty has been found out. It was Aisinjueluo Qiqi. Please give your Majesty the Holy Judgment!"

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Zhu Houzhao got up early in the morning and received an urgent report from Liaodong Babaili.

At court time, the Meridian Gate opens.

Civil and military officials walked across the Jinshui Bridge in an orderly manner. Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair, and all the officials bowed down one after another.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Liaodong sent an urgent report this morning. The general of Liaodong was afraid of his crime, and left a letter of repentance, begging His Majesty to let his wife and children go, I think"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I already know about this matter, he violated the laws of my Ming Dynasty after all, even though he committed suicide in fear of crime, he still came to beg me to let his family go, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world ?”

"I have already sent someone to investigate this matter personally. In addition, all his family members were exiled to the northwest, leaving a little blood for their family."

Zhu Houzhao did not win the face of Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet. After all, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor was the biggest backer of his cabinet. Without the support of His Majesty, the cabinet would be unable to do anything.

Zhu Houzhao is also a smart person. Many times, he wants to let the officials in the court know that he, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, is actually standing behind the cabinet.

Li Dongyang bowed and said: "The memorandum submitted by Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu said that the bandits who attacked the officials of Ming Dynasty have now been found out to be the work of Jianzhou Jurchen."

After Li Dongyang finished speaking, he handed the memorial to the eunuch, and then presented it to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao's complexion was ashen, he stood up and stared at the officials, and asked loudly with righteous indignation: "This Jianzhou Jurchen is so bold that she openly violated my China, all my loves, I ask you, when will I receive it from Daming?" ever such an insult?"

All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were extremely angry, and they all suggested: "Your Majesty, please send troops to Liaodong, destroy the Jianzhou Jurchen, and arrest the murderer!"

When the voices in the hall gradually calmed down, Zhu Houzhao looked around and said: "I will pass on my order to immediately remove the governor of Liaodong, order Wang Shouren to replace the governor, and send 20 troops to wipe out the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, Liaodong.

Boom!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty took a deep breath and wiped out the Jurchens in Jianzhou, Liaodong, which cost the lives of more than 60 people.

This time, the Jianzhou Jurchens were about to suffer disaster. Not only did they offend Tianwei, they also found themselves murdered.

Zhu Houzhao issued an order, and the entire hall became quiet. No one dared to admonish the emperor.

The Jianzhou Jurchen had already violated Tianwei and attacked the Ming Dynasty's army. They secretly said that they would directly slap Zhu Houzhao in the face. If anyone dared to intercede, it would be a risk to the world!

Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty sent 20 troops, and news of the conquest of the Jianzhou Jurchen spread like wildfire.

In the Jianzhou Jurchen barracks.

"Nizi, Nizi, how dare you stand in front of this old man and look at the good deeds you have done. For those two thousand armors, you have caused such a catastrophe to this old man, what face do you have to live in the world?"

"Father, what are you afraid of? I, the Jurchen of Jianzhou, are born to be heroes. Look at the ancestors of the Mongols. They are all brave and good at fighting, and they have created myths on the Mongolian grasslands."

"Look at us again, which of these eight thousand strong men can't count as ten?"

"As long as we work together, we will be able to resist the entry of the Ming army."

"Brother, you may not know that Daming sent more than 20 soldiers this time, and the general is said to be a young man named Wang Shouren. He is very good at strategy, and he was born in the army. easy!"

"Listen, listen, you traitor, get out of here! Go and find a way!"

This is the conversation between the guard general Aixinjueluo Qiqi and his two sons in the Jurchen military camp in Jianzhou.

Aixinjueluo Qiqi is also extremely nervous. He is not afraid of the Ming army, but he has to ruin his tribe so easily. It is not worth it. Now he should gather all the forces in the northeast rear , may have a certain blocking effect on the Ming army.

"You quickly inform your father, uncle, Khan, and several leaders to come to the camp to discuss matters."

Aixinjueluo Qiqi said to his eldest son Aixinjueluo Wenji.

"Yes."

Aixinjueluo Wenji cupped his fists and walked outside.

This large-scale foreign war was entrusted to Wang Shouren by Zhu Houzhao. As for Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, Zhu Houzhao did not distrust him. He felt that it was appropriate to use an experienced person for such a large-scale war.
