Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To the surprise of Ruan Dacheng, Zhen Zidan and others, Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, and Han Yuanshan, the commander-in-chief of the capital, did not recognize the great contribution of the Jin Yiwei and Lianshanguan musketeers accompanying the delegation in killing the Thirteen Jiannu Cavalry, including Hu Erhan.  On the contrary, he was worried. Li Weihan knew very well the status of Hu'erhan, one of the five ministers, in Nurhaci's mind. Hu'erhan died in the Ming Dynasty, so how could Nurhachi be willing to retire? What's more, Zhang Yuan also captured slaves.  Erhaci¡¯s most capable civil servant, Nalan Baksh!

    At the beginning of this year, Li Weihan inspected the eastern line of the Liaodong Border Wall, from Dingyuan Youwei on the Yalu River to Kaiyuan City at the junction of Han, Mongolia and Manchuria, and then back to Guangning via Fushun and Qinghe. It lasted three months and traveled a thousand miles.  For more than 600 miles, he conducted a comprehensive inspection of the armaments of the Liaodong frontier armies. The Liaodong frontier army generals were good at cheating and stealing pay, so it was impossible for Li Weihan to fully understand the actual situation of the Liaodong frontier armies, but as long as he was not deaf, blind and excessively  , He still had some idea of ??the deterioration of Liaodong's armaments. Li Weihan learned about the bravery and skill of the Eight Banners Army from Fushun guerrilla Li Yongfang and Qinghe General Zou Chuxian. In recent years, the Liaodong frontier army has not experienced any major wars, no more than Nurhachi everywhere.  The Jurchen tribes were conquered and annexed, so Li Yongfang and Zou Chuxian asked Li Weihan to increase their troops in Fushun and Qinghe cities to prevent the slave chiefs. Li Weihan said that after returning to Guangning, he would discuss with Commander Han and General Zhang to increase the appropriate number of troops, but strictly ordered Li Yongfang and Zou Chuxian  The generals who are waiting for the border must stay calm and refrain from provoking any slight provocations against Jianzhou. They also cite the example of Feng Yougong, a guerrilla in Qinghe City last year. Feng Yougong built a barracks for the soldiers and allowed the soldiers and civilians to cross the border to collect wood. As a result, more than 50 people were killed by the Jurchens. In the end, although there were women  Zhenren paid with his life, but Feng Yougong was also dismissed.  w w. .) So keep the boundaries.  Don't cause trouble

    Li Weihan reported to the court that Nurhachi had executed the murderer of the Han people under Fushun City.  But now Zhang Yuan has brought back the head of the culprit Hu'erhan, which makes Li Weihan quite embarrassed. Moreover, he is also worried that Nurhaci will take the opportunity to attack. If the war in Liaodong resumes, he, the governor, will be in trouble. Li Weihan's New Year's Eve  At the age of sixty, he did not seek merit but sought no faults. After two years of peace, he returned to Beijing to serve as his imperial censor.  I really don¡¯t want to start a dispute at this time, which is why Li Weihan was dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan¡¯s actions in North Korea and the killing of Hu¡¯er Khan. Although Li Weihan knew that Hu¡¯er Khan broke into the Ming Dynasty for robbery, he still treated Han Yuanshan, Zhang Chengyin and  Eunuch Lu said that this was all the disaster caused by Zhang Yuan. If Zhang Yuan had not arrested, killed and stabbed Nalan Bakshi and his party, there would have been no revenge from Hu Erhan. Now it has led to the death of twelve of his own Jinyi guards and the death of Jianzhou guards.  The death of Minister Khurhan, how should this end?  

    There were many officials like Li Weihan who only cared about their own future and did not care about the country's danger. Zhang Yuan had a clear understanding of this. He clearly felt Li Weihan's indifference towards him and the entire delegation.  He didn't tell Ruan Dacheng and others explicitly, but he expected that Li Weihan thought they were causing trouble.

    Zhen Zidan ordered his lieutenant to investigate this fate.  Soon the Jin Yiwei found out the whole story. Zhen Zidan learned that Li Weihan was worried about Nurhachi's revenge because they killed Hu'erhan. She couldn't help but be furious. She immediately came to inform Zhang Yuan and said angrily: "Governor Li is waiting for me."  We are dissatisfied with the bloody battle and killing of Hu Erhan, and think that we should just surrender and let the thieves kill and plunder, so that we can put an end to the trouble!"

    Ruan Dacheng was also very angry and said: "I have always heard that Li Weihan was cowardly, but I never expected him to be so shameless. He did not comfort us, but sympathized with Jiannu."

    Zhang Yuandao: "Governor Li is not sympathetic to the slaves, but is afraid of the slaves. He is afraid that if the war breaks out, he will be punished if he fails to supervise the war. It is really ridiculous that he can dispel Nurhachi's ambition with his tolerance."

    Ruan Dacheng said: "Let's go back to Beijing tomorrow and make all this public."

    It was very simple to leave Guangning and return to Beijing, but Zhang Yuan still wanted to make a last effort. On the evening of June 25, he and the North Korean envoy Yu Yan asked Li Weihan to visit Li Weihan again. Unexpectedly, Li Weihan said: "Zhang Xiu  I was sent as an envoy to consecrate the prince of Korea, but I failed to complete my mission."

    Zhang Yuandao: "Zhang Yuan always puts the Ming Dynasty's national prestige and interests first when he goes on missions, and is not limited to his mission."

    Li Weihan sighed slightly and asked, "What does Zhang Xiuzan mean by bringing Nalan Bakshi to the capital?"

    Zhang Yuandao: "Of course we need to let everyone in the court understand Nurhaci's ambitions and make defensive plans early."

    Li Weihan looked at the young Zhang Yuan and thought: "How much do you, a young scholar, know about the military and political affairs of Liaodong? How dare you speak so loudly in front of me?" He said: "Although Nurhachi is rebellious, he still dare not fight with  The Ming Dynasty is facing the enemy, but you captured Nalan Baksh and killed Hu Erhan this time. I'm afraid there will be no peace in Liaodong from now on."

    Since Li Weihan explicitly blamed Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was not polite and asked, "In your opinion, how should Zhang Yuan respond to the slave chief sending envoys to Korea? Encountered slave robbery in Fenghuang Mountain, and the envoy  How can the whole regiment avoid conflicts?"

    Li Weihan was a Jinshi in the early years of Wanli. He was more than seven subjects earlier than Zhang Yuan. According to the rules of Ming Dynasty officialdom,"Seven subjects and above, sit aside and avoid horses." Zhang Yuan had to step aside when he met on the road. Moreover, Li Weihan was governor of Liaodong as the right deputy censor of the third rank, and he had a high position. Zhang Yuan was only the sixth rank.  As he was the only one who could teach Zhang Yuan a lesson, Zhang Yuan did not expect that Zhang Yuan would dare to confront him in a tit-for-tat manner. He couldn't help but get angry and said loudly: "You are an imperial envoy who upholds integrity. Do you still want me to teach you what to do?"

    Yu Yan on the side turned pale with shock when he saw Li Weihan getting angry, but Zhang Yuan didn't take it lightly. Li Weihan couldn't do anything to him. There were some things he had to say, and he said loudly: "There is no other official, but loyalty to the emperor and love to the people."  Well, I believe the boss has no objection to this?"

    Li Weihan sneered: "What do you want to say?"

    Zhang Yuandao: "What I want to say is that in the face of the crisis in Liaodong, don't think of calming down the situation, but have the courage to face it, so that the emperor and father can share their worries and the people can be relieved."

    Li Weihan became increasingly embarrassed and annoyed when Zhang Yuan told him what he was thinking. He stood up and said, "Send off the guests."

    Zhang Yuan stood up, bowed his head and said: "Sir, please think again. The slave chieftain founded the state last year and proclaimed himself a khan. His disobedience has already been revealed. It is only a matter of time before he invades the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, since the founding of the state last year, disasters have been frequent. The slave chieftain must rob the Ming Dynasty."  Overcoming the difficulties cannot be stopped by tolerance. If the Liao Dynasty goes bad, the elders will be blamed. According to the younger generation, Fushun and Qinghe must be heavily guarded, and Kaiyuan must join forces with Ye He's tribe. Only in this way can the slaves be stopped.  Erhachi's ambition, otherwise, there will be the humiliation of losing an army and destroying the city."

    Regardless of whether Li Weihan listened or not, Zhang Yuan finished speaking in one breath, turned around and left, walking outside the hall door. Hearing the crack of the teacup falling to the ground, Zhang Yuan did not stop and quickly left the governor's office.  , but seeing the bright moonlight, the big characters on the east and west sides of the governor's office are clearly visible. The east side reads "Fusui Liaodong", and the west side reads "Purge Guanning".

    Yu Yan, the court judge of North Korea, asked in a low voice behind Zhang Yuan: "Angel Zhang, this offends Governor Li and is not good for our country." North Korea will only send envoys to report to the Ming Emperor unless there is a major event, which will cause daily affairs.  They all deal directly with Liaodong, and the governor of Liaodong can be said to be the immediate superior of North Korea.

    Zhang Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking: "The huge and bloated body of the Ming Dynasty will not know the pain unless it is cut out with a knife. What I have to do is to prevent this knife from being fatal, but this knife still has to be  Come on." He turned to Yu Yan and said, "loyal words are offensive to my ears, but the matter is urgent, so I have to speak frankly." He added, "you can rest assured about the canonization of the king of Korea, but the difficulty now is not here."

    ¡­¡­

    On the morning of June 26th, Zhang Yuan and his party left Guangning. Except for Li Weihan, who did not come to see them off, Han Yuanshan, Zhang Chengyin and Eunuch Lu were all sent out of the city. Zhang Chengyin was a straightforward person and had a good impression of Zhang Yuan. He also showed off his force.  Said: "The young general has fifteen thousand elite soldiers, two hundred cannons, two thousand small cannons, and five thousand muskets under his command. The firepower is fierce. If Nurhachi dares to invade the border, he will never come back."  Just like this Huerhan, he died without a burial place."

    Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "General Zhang's courage is admirable, but I have something to say from the bottom of my heart."

    Zhang Chengyin said politely: "Zhang Zhuangyuan, please speak."

    Zhang Yuandao said: "The Eight Banners Army of the Later Jin Dynasty is good at charging in the field, but less good at attacking cities. General Zhang should avoid his sharp edge when facing the enemy. The best strategy is to occupy the dangerous mountains, dig trenches and bombard them with firearms. Never fight him in formation on the plains.  "

    Zhang Chengyin felt dissatisfied and responded: "Zhang Xiu wrote some good words, and the young general wrote them down."

    Zhang Yuan bowed to those who saw him off, mounted the big chestnut horse, and waved goodbye. Guangning city was far away, Shanhaiguan was close, and the war in Liaodong was behind him. He got the news in Guangning, Nuer  At the beginning of the year, Hachi led troops to conquer the Saha Company Headquarters and the Huerha Company Headquarters on the right bank of Heilongjiang River, but he has not yet returned to Hetuala.

    Zhang Yuan thought: "When Nurhachi surrenders the Saharian and Huerha tribes and returns to Hetuala, he will declare the 'seven hatreds' and use troops against the Ming Dynasty. This is not something I can stop. Liaodong is  The mess will not be cleaned up in three or five years. With my current status and ability, this is all I can do. With Li Weihan's stupidity, the fall of Fushun and Qinghe is inevitable. My mission is to avoid the catastrophe of the Battle of Sarhu.  Although I am very clear about the reasons for the defeat of the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu, when I try to change one thing, Nurhachi must have some countermeasures. Nurhachi is accustomed to fighting and is wily and resourceful. This is not  What I can compare with is that the prophet is not omnipotent, so I cannot underestimate the enemy in the slightest. The question now is, how can I influence Yang Hao, the commander of the Saarhu War?"

    Suddenly remembering something, Zhang Yuan laughed. Nurhachi used the "Seven Hatreds" to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. Will he add one hatred and become the "Eight Hatreds" now?

    At this time, Mu Jingyan urged his horse over and said, "Master Zhang, that guest has disappeared first." Mu Jingyan, a big man with a yellow beard, noticed that one of Zhang Yuan's personal guards was missing.

    Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I know, Uncle Mu, don't worry about this."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Yesterday, I told Zhang Yuan that I wanted to go back to Ye Hecheng, and Zhang Yuan agreed.

    The trip to North Korea is over and I finally returned to Beijing, feeling very tired.  (To be continued.)
