    As expected: people must first humiliate themselves before they can humiliate others.  Huang Shi gritted his teeth and barely let the anger in his chest burst out. The intense emotions slowly and finally receded some.  Huang Shi first reflected on his performance today, probably because he was too servile and made others look down upon him.  He sighed while thinking about the next step.  "This matter is not harmful to you, Huang Shi. Why wouldn't you do it if you can help your colleagues resolve an embarrassing matter with just a little effort?" Seeing that Huang Shi did not respond immediately, Yuan Chonghuan began to persuade him earnestly.  If he nodded and agreed, there would be no immediate harm to Huang Shi because he was a military attach¨¦ and not a scholar-official, so the charge of "disobedience" could not be pinned on Huang Shi.  Of course, there will also be an issue to deal with afterwards. For this type of loss of chastity, the rule of the Ming Dynasty is to persuade people to make peace but not to leave.  According to the Ming Dynasty Law, a woman's involuntary loss of virginity cannot be used as a reason for divorce.  For example, after the mid-Ming Dynasty, there were cases of wives being abducted by human traffickers. However, after the case, the traffickers and the madams were convicted of forcing their virgins into prostitution and the couple were still sentenced to stay together.  Since Zhao Yingong said just now that Huang Shi would be dismissed, it seems that there should be no big problem.  Huang Shi thought that as long as Zhao Yingong could keep his reputation, he didn't want to cause any extra disputes with him.  "Master Yuan is right." Huang Shi casually replied unconsciously.  But the lack of immediate harm does not mean that there is no harm. If the story of the betrothed wife being kidnapped spreads, it will cause considerable damage to the reputation.  And although most people can understand Huang Shi's resignation after the incident, there are definitely many people who feel that he was ruthless and unjust to his wife.  Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but become a little impatient when he saw Huang Shi's delay in agreeing.  So he said in a more serious tone: "Don't worry about Huangshi, no one will spread it randomly" Listening to Yuan Chonghuan's words, Huangshi thought about their wishful thinking and probably used this to prevaricate the censor.  If Miss Zhao Er is dead, then of course Huang Shi can resign after a few months of cooperation.  If Miss Zhao Er is still alive today.  Then Zhao Yingong still has reason to say that he will not be deprived of his credit for this.  Huang Shi recalled the lessons learned from the original history of the first year of Chongzhen: when Chen Jisheng and Jiannu were fighting fierce battles in Kuandian and Changbai Mountains, Yuan Chonghuan cut off the Dongjiang Army's food and salary from behind because Mao Wenlong refused to violate national laws and privately handed over military power to him.  .  He also ordered Liaodong, Tianjin, and Shandong Laiden to be closed to sea, and no merchants were allowed to sail, and they were not allowed to sell a grain of rice or a bean to the Dongjiang Army.  Although it is said that Buddhas compete for a stick of incense and people compete for a breath, there must be someone to take care of the overall situation of Liaodong, otherwise it will be a national disaster.  So Huang Shi decided to take another step back.  Anyway, I have been trying to flatter Yuan Chonghuan for a long time today.  Huang Shi didn¡¯t want to waste all his previous efforts, let alone be held back one day - Aren¡¯t I determined to be a man like King Yue and Qi Shaobao?  Haven't you already thought about trying to find ways to achieve peace in your life?  Wei Zhongxian, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shandong civil servants and Liaoxi generals from eunuchs to Donglin will become traitors and scum in the future.  Don¡¯t they and I get along well together?  Right now, we can only focus on the overall situation and not act on impulse.  Moreover, Huang Shi also knew that civil-military discord was not only a great harm to the country, but also that it was himself, the military commander, who was ultimately unlucky.  Since Yuan Chonghuan is going to be promoted to governor, Huang Shi can't say anything to offend him: "Master Yuan, Master Zhao, can you allow me to think about it for a moment? How about I give you a reply in two days?" A look of displeasure suddenly appeared on Yuan Chonghuan's face.  He pointed at Zhao Yingong and said to Huang Shi: "I have been talking to you for so long. It's not too late for you to agree. Who knows that your half-heartedness is always deceiving. In the end, you don't have me. Now.  How can I allow you to deceive me as a witness? Do you know that you have made twelve wrongdoings" Huang Shi was stunned for a moment. During this period, Yuan Chonghuan had already spoken a lot.  Huang Shi felt that these words sounded slightly familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.  I only heard Zhao Yingong cry out in shame: "Master Yuan." Zhao Yingong stood up and bowed to Yuan Chonghuan: "Master Yuan does not want to force General Huang to do anything, please tell me." At this time, Huang Shi also felt a little bit in his heart.  Although civil servants always looked down on military generals and eunuchs, Bewilderment himself was still a general who had killed thousands.  After all, this matter is of great importance to Zhao Yingong and Yuan Chonghuan, so why should the emperor not rush the eunuch to lobby for him?  Since he couldn't figure out what Yuan Chonghuan was thinking about, Huang Shi became more and more uneasy. After hearing Zhao Yingong's words, he stood up and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Master Yuan, Ming Jian, General Mo, is not disagreeing. I just ask for grace for two days, General Mo."  There are still military laws" Huang Shi explained the military laws of Changsheng Island regarding marriage and then explained that he had to discuss countermeasures with his subordinates first. After all, the soldiers didn't know what was going on.  Furthermore, considering the reputation of the Zhao family, Huang Shi cannot blatantly go to Changsheng.?The officers and soldiers told the truth.  Therefore, he always had to think of a way to prevent Huangshi from violating military law and disappointing his soldiers if things were revealed.  This reason seems to be a good step. Faced with such a rude request, Huang Shi's attitude remained as deferential as ever.  Zhao Yingong, who was standing aside, immediately expressed a lot of thanks after hearing that Huang Shi was willing to consider the matter. Seeing that both of them seemed to be able to accept it, Yuan Chonghuan stopped forcing Huang Shi to agree on the spot.  Huang Shi sat back on the chair honestly. He had not fully considered the pros and cons of this matter. Huang Shi planned to return to Juehua to discuss with Jin Qiude and Hong Antong to see how to deal with it.  If things can be kept watertight, Huang Shi feels that he may not be able to sell Yuan Chonghuan a favor and it will be easier to ask for food and salary from the Liaodong Dusi Prefecture.  Although Yuan Chonghuan¡¯s hands can¡¯t reach Liaodong yet, there are always multiple paths with multiple friends.  Huang Shi reflected on his attitude again and felt that it would be better for him to put aside his fear of Yuan Chonghuan.  Huang Shi thought of his experience of interacting with Sun Chengzong, Wei Zhongxian, and Shandong civil servants, and for a while he gained a lot of confidence. He thought he was relatively good at life, although he didn't know much about Yuan Chonghuan's psychological activities.  But after getting along for a while, you will definitely understand something.  After this matter came to an end, Yuan Chonghuan changed the topic to the great cause of Ping Liao and the battle of Jue Hua.  Huang Shi summoned up his energy to tell the whole story about the deployment of the two armies and his own tactics.  Of course, Huang Shi could not talk about his views on the combat effectiveness of Guan Ning's army and had no reason to belittle them.  Because his judgment in advance was based on historical knowledge, and the performance of Juehua Guanning's army this time was indeed good. Huangshi relied on them to fight side by side to win When Huangshi told the story, Yuan Chonghuan checked with Zhao Yingong from time to time, combining Zhao Yingong and  After Huang Shi's two opinions, Yuan Chonghuan nodded thoughtfully: "As expected, we still have to rely on fortified cities and use cannons." "Master Yuan has learned a lesson. It is better to rely on fortified cities and use cannons, but I'm afraid it will cost too much." In Guangzhou  Huang Shi also had this idea when Ning was a junior officer, but now he doesn't want to waste precious resources on the fortress, but hopes to cultivate a large number of field troops as soon as possible.  Yuan Chonghuan's attitude was very kind. He smiled and said to Huang Shi, "Huang Shi, please tell me." This encouragement refreshed Huang Shi's spirit.  It seems that Yuan Manzi is not unreasonable?  So he brought out his idea of ??using the sea as the road.  Huangshi advocated taking the Empress Palace, Yaozhou, and Haizhou first, and then building a fortress on the back of the sea to reserve supplies as an offensive base, so as to look at the central Liaoning Plain.  "Mao Shuai and General Chen will continue to attack from Kuandian and North Korea. If the main force of Jiannu moves eastward, Wang's division can plow the court and sweep holes to point directly at Liaoyang. If Jiannu does not move, Mao Shuai and General Chen can move from east to west.  First collect the Jianzhou Guards and then go to Saerhu to cut off the connection between Jiannu, the Barbarian Jurchens and Horqin Mongolia. Finally, they will be gathered together in Liaozhong." At the end of the day, Huangshi clenched his right fist and waved it hard.  Strengthening his tone, his confident look also inspired Zhao Yingong on the side, who also shouted "Hello" for Huang Shi's concluding remarks.  Yuan Chonghuan kept smiling and did not interrupt Huang Shi. He waited until he had finished speaking and then asked: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Huang Shi, how do you plan to build the first city?"  My opinion" I don¡¯t know how many times I have thought about this question before.  Huang Shi was confident and spoke without hesitation.  Genghis Khan in northern Liaoning and Mao Gang leader in Liaodong will definitely come out often, so the main force of Hou Jin always leaves the central plain of Liaoning.  Now Huangshi is also confident that he can rely on Liaonan's troops to fight against Jin's 50% strength. If he adds the help of Guan Ning's army, Huangshi believes that there will be no big problem in attacking Yaozhou.  Once Huangshi can gain a firm foothold, he won't be too afraid. When the whole Jin army comes, he will be sure to hold on for a while.  If the Jin army really came in full force, not to mention the leader of the Mao Gang in North Korea, even Genghis Khan in northern Liaoning would never be idle at home.  After controlling Yaozhou and Haizhou, the remaining work is to build forts all the way into the Liaozhong Plain.  Huang Shi spoke so hard that his mouth went dry, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it all in one gulp.  Yuan Chonghuan waited for him to sweep away the tea and then asked: "How long will all this take?" "Well" Huangshi pondered for a while. After entering the plains, supply lines needed to be built to ensure supply lines. There were many fortified cities in Liaoning where slaves were built.  The army is also very tenacious, and civilian officials will inevitably play a diversionary role, so the war situation cannot be guaranteed to be smooth sailing: "About five years. Even if Jiannu takes the initiative to return to Jianzhou and wipe them out completely, it will not take more than ten years." "Five years?"  It's too short. Huang Shi, are you trying to make me happy?" Yuan Chonghuan shook his head disapprovingly.  Huang Shi felt that the closer his troops were to Shenyang, the more effective he could be in deterring the Hou Jin regime. This was why he chose Yaozhou as his breakthrough point.  But Yuan Chonghuan obviously disagrees with this view. He believes that the sea route is unreliable and ultimately we have to go all the way through the Western Liaoning Corridor.??Fort out.  Huang Shi did not want to refute him head-on, so he adopted a roundabout route: "Route 6 is indeed safe, but it will cost a lot of time and money to build countless more forts along the way."  It would take ten years to build it all the way from Ningyuan to Sanchahe and then from Sanchahe to Liaoyang, and it would cost tens of millions of taels of silver." These words really spoke to Huang Shi's heart, and they were exactly what he hoped.  Reasons to persuade Yuan Chonghuan.  Huang Shi said in a low voice: "Master Yuan has great opinions, so I thought it would be better to try to capture Yaozhou and go straight to Liaoning." Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan categorically rejected: "The sea route is not reliable after all. Besides, it will also take several years." Zhao Yingong listened on the side.  He was getting more and more confused and couldn't help but interjected and asked: "Master Yuan, do you have any clever ideas?" "The Liao Dynasty spends three million taels a year on Ji Town and more than 400,000 yuan. Even Dongjiang Town needs 240,000 yuan and the two treasuries have already been  The people all over the world are suffering even more." Yuan Chonghuan sighed with a pitiful expression and then asked Huang Shi and Zhao Yingong with a mysterious expression: "Did you know that Eunuch Wei was preparing new war horses for the Liao Dynasty.  Have you come up with any countermeasures? "Due to the continuous drought in the Little Ice Age, the number of horses produced in the horse farms in the north of the Ming Dynasty continued to decline. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, there were no more horses in the northern towns to send to Liao Town.  After the imperial court fell into the dilemma of lack of horses, some ministers suggested that a whip should be adopted.  The shortfall in horses handed over by the provinces of Gansu and Shaanxi was shared with farmers in each province to collect more mu tax to buy horses.  At this time, the northern provinces were also experiencing successive years of famine.  Wei Zhongxian came from a peasant background and was well aware of the plight of peasants and did not dare to adopt this genius idea of ??increasing land allotment in years of famine.  However, the shortage of horses still had to be solved, so Eunuch Wei ordered to reward a large number of ministers and eunuchs with the privilege of riding horses in the Forbidden City.  According to the Ming Dynasty Huidian.  Whenever the royal family rewards anyone with the honor of riding a horse in the Forbidden City, that person is obliged to pay tribute to the royal family's fine horses.  Wei Zhongxian mobilized his subordinates in Dongchang to conduct an investigation of everyone's property. Afterwards, he rewarded wealthy officials and eunuchs with "honors" in large quantities and urged them to pay tribute all day long.  After the rewarded person completes the task of tribute horse, Wei Zhongxian will take back the privilege and thenthen grant it again.  Just like when Liu Jin ordered the widows of the capital to remarry.  Wei Zhongxian's policy also caused widespread complaints in the DPRK and China. For the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, numerous courtiers and eunuchs wrote letters rejecting the honor of riding horses in the imperial city.  But Wei Zhongxian even gave the imperial city horse riding rights to the infant and Mrs. Haoming, who were unwilling to give them tribute horses.  While cursing the nameless person who gave Wei Zhongxian such a damaging idea.  The horses collected are naturally mixed, with the exception of old horses and foals.  It is said that there are also donkeys, mules and even baby camels.  However, Wei Zhongxian collected a group of horses for the emperor to support Liaodong without spending a penny, and thus received the praise from Tianqi that "the factory ministers are loyal and diligent in their work".  Zhao Yingong naturally sighed with emotion.  Huang Shi was submissive, but after hearing this, he felt an ominous premonition in his heart.  After Yuan Chonghuan finished speaking, he said seriously to Huang Shi and Zhao Yingong: "I have a thought. If it is feasible, the Liao Dynasty will be normal in the morning and evening, and there will be no need to increase the tax."  ?" Thinking of Yuan Chonghuan's actions after the Battle of Ningyuan in history, Huang Shi's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, but he still complimented calmly: "It seems that the reincarnation of Lord Zhuge is a sure thing." "Yuan Chonghuan.  Twisting his long beard twice, he said slowly: "This time, Nurhachi, who was besieging the city of Ningyuan and establishing the chieftainship, wrote a letter to my official and wrote back to express his righteousness. After the establishment of the chieftaincy, he wrote back a letter saying that in my opinion, I was responsible for establishing the chieftaincy.  There seems to be a sense of regret." "Ah~~" Zhao Yiggong exclaimed.  Huang Shi felt that his heart was tense in his throat. His eyes and mouth moved but he did not speak. He had known that Yuan Chonghuan always felt extremely good about himself.  Historically, when Huang Taiji attacked North Korea, Tianqi and the cabinet urgently asked Yuan Chonghuan, the then governor of Liaodong, what countermeasures he had and how to save North Korea.  Yuan Chonghuan, who was fond of shocking words, told the emperor: The imperial court does not need to send troops to rescue the emperor, and there is no need to worry about countermeasures. As long as he sends an envoy with a handwritten letter from him, he can order Huang Taiji to retreat - "Send Fang Jin Nayi to write to the slave chief."  Yuan Chonghuan, who was quite proud of himself, continued to shake his head and seemed to be immersed in the wonderful memories: "I see the opportunity and will write another book that combines strength and softness with kindness and power" Yuan Chonghuan Yi  After hearing these words, Zhao Yingong scratched his head and was overjoyed.  Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Yuan Chonghuan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.  After he put down the tea bowl, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes were shining majestically, and he glanced over Zhao Yingong's body and then stopped on Huang Shi's face: "I thought I could recruit An Liao, so Liao affairs can be decided,"?Endowment can remove the good from the good!  General Huang, would you like to submit a letter to the emperor with me?  " Huang Shi tried his best to maintain the submissive expression on his face and asked humbly: "Master Yuan Mingjian.  The last general dares to ask on what terms the slaves of An An are recruited?  " "This you have to talk about it first to know, right?  " "What if the founding of the slaves requires annual gifts such as one hundred thousand taels of gold, one million taels of silver, and one million pieces of cloth every year?  "Huang Shi calmly spit out a number - this was Huang Shi's previous life Huang Taiji and Yuan Chonghuan's request for annual payment when negotiating peace. Yuan Chonghuan told the court that these conditions were not impossible to consider and that they could continue to negotiate. Yuan Chonghuan frowned and twisted.  He looked at the ceiling for a while with his long beard: "Well, this is too much, isn't it?  It's not much less than Liao's salary.  " Huang Shi took a deep breath and tried his best not to let his voice tremble at all: "I will dare to ask Lord Yuan again, what would you think if the annual gift of establishing a slave is ten thousand taels of gold, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and one hundred thousand pieces of cloth?  " Yuan Chonghuan raised his eyebrows and his voice was full of surprise: "Of course you can.  "Bang¡ª¡ª" The sound of slamming the case was like thunder. Zhao Yingong was so frightened that he shuddered, followed by a deafening roar in his ears: "Traitor!"  "
