Chapter 1436 Exit
Xin Han's previous life's understanding of the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was only in general, but not in detail. Through Zu Dashou's explanation, he also had a general understanding of the current situation.
For example, why the Jiannu Tartars were able to bypass the Shanhai Pass and go to the pass to burn, kill, loot and do things.
It turned out that this was all caused by Zhu Youjian's self-destruction of the Great Wall. It turned out that before Chongzhen ascended the throne, when Lin Danhan, the last Khan of the Mongolian "Golden Family", was on the throne, he stood on the side of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Jurchen.
The Ming Dynasty has traded with Lin Dan Khan since the reign of Tianqi and rewarded a large amount of silver in order to stabilize Mongolia, an ally.
However, after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, due to financial constraints, in the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen, he decreed to cancel the rewards to the Mongolian tribes in the north.
The so-called house leak coincided with the continuous night rain. One month later, a serious disaster occurred in the Mongolian grassland. The Mongolian tribes in the north asked the Ming Dynasty for assistance, but Zhu Youjian refused.
In fact, although Chongzhen is also for the country, his brain will not turn around.
During the period after he ascended the throne, the treasury was empty, and financial expenditures could be saved if possible. This time, it was to save the 200,000 taels of silver that was rewarded to the Mongolian tribes that year. ally.
Lin Danhan, who lost the aid of the Ming Dynasty, could not resist Houjin's aggressive offensive, and was finally killed after retreating to Qinghai. As a result, the Mongolian tribes were scattered and unable to resist Huang Taiji's invasion.
Khalkha, Horqin, Chahar and other Mongolian tribes have joined in one after another, and even the Hetao Mongolian tribes who were named the "King of Shunyi" by the Ming Dynasty in the early years finally fell to the side of Houjin.
In less than two years, the Mongolian tribes in Jizhou and the north of Xuanhua in the Ming Dynasty had completely become Huang Taiji's sphere of influence. Since then, the Jin detoured Mongolia to invade the Central Plains, and it has become a flat river.
This is why during Chongzhen's reign, whenever the battle to wipe out the peasant army reached a critical point, there was a scene of Huang Taiji going south around the pass.
Of course, although Hou Jin could take a detour, he didn't dare to go too far, because they were afraid that the Liaodong defender would take the opportunity to send troops to raid his hometown. It's just that this kind of harassing war made it difficult for the Ming army to suppress the thieves. The son won the world.
After Xin Han understood this matter, this hate, Chongzhen is just a pig brain, he remembered reading "Li Zicheng Biography" in his previous life, which introduced that Li Chuang was originally a postman in the Yinchuan post station of the Ming Dynasty.
Later, in order to save money, Chongzhen listened to the advice of the minister and began to abolish the post station, but if you abolish it, you can abolish it, and you have to do it slowly and gradually.
But Zhu Youjian was not good at this. He successfully laid off more than 80,000 postmen in Daming within one year, and saved 680,000 taels of silver for the treasury that year.
But everyone knows what happened next. Not long after Lao Li was laid off, he rebelled. Although there were other things in it, unemployment can be said to be the main reason.
You can see that Chongzhen is so capable. He turned his ally Mongolia into the enemy for 200,000 taels of silver, and then made a King Li Chuang for 680,000 taels of silver.
A total of less than one million taels of sweetness per year ruined the Han family. The most irritating Chongzhen had good intentions and did it for the sake of the country. You are so annoying!
After Zu Dashou left, Xin Han began to think about his plan to earn merit, and planned to go for a walk on the grassland before dealing with Houjin.
However, he is responsible for sitting in the Shanhaiguan Pass. If something happens to the pass after he leaves, let alone earning merit, I am afraid that the merit value will directly become negative and will be wiped out by the system in an instant.
He thought about it, thought about it, and suddenly remembered a person, that is, the famous anti-Qing general, Sun Chengzong, the original Liaodong governor, if he guarded Shanhaiguan for him, he would have no worries.
At this time, Sun Chengzong had resigned from office and returned to his hometown in Gaoyang, Baoding. Xin Han immediately asked his Jinyiwei Feige to pass on the letter, and the Jinyiwei in Baoding immediately sent someone to come to Shanhaiguan.
After explaining the details, he handed over the military affairs to Mu Renqing for help, and he began to retreat and practice the Sunflower Book to increase his skills.
But after less than half a month of retreat, he left the retreat, because Sun Chengzong was 'invited' to Shanhaigan by Jin Yiwei, and all martial arts factions rushed here with their own personnel.
Shaolin was the last to arrive. This surprised all the Jianghu people present. I'm afraid, there are more than a thousand monks. This is to destroy all schools of martial arts, and to rebel against the imperial court.
But when Zen Master Guanzheng explained to Xin Han, everyone realized that 500 of them were monks from Songshan Shaolin Temple, and the other 500 were monks from Putian Shaolin, Fujian, that is, Southern Shaolin.
It turned out that Guanzheng returned to Shaolin and asked someone to send a letter to South Shaolin, telling them not to get involved in the rebellion of the rebels, and quickly follow the martial arts leader to kill the Tartars. If they don’t come, the public enemy of the martial arts will be wiped out sooner or later. Wash the marrow by taking.
The North and South Shaolins are of the same spirit, and the witnesses couldn't bear to watch the South Shaolin offend Xin Han, thus destroying the temple and killing people.
Guanzheng explained the cause and effect in the letter. It happened that Zhang Xianzhong, who was secretly assisted by Nan Shaolin, died. Because of his new appointment to Guanzheng, the abbot of Nan Shaolin, Zen Master Zhiguang, decided to join the leader of the martial arts. Five hundred monks and soldiers came to Shanhaiguan.
Seeing Xin Han, the eminent monk of Southern Shaolin saluted and met the leader at the same time. At the same time, Zen Master Zhiguang also apologized for secretly helping Zhang Xianzhong, with a very low posture.
Xin Han comforted him with a few words like "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, and come ashore from the sea of suffering without limit", which made the heads of both the northern and southern Shaolin sects roll their eyes.
After settling down the martial arts heroes, Xin Han went to see Sun Chengzong again. He clearly told the Jinyiwei in Baoding in a letter to 'invite' the people. They came over and arrested the whole family.
When he got to Shanhaiguan and knew it was a misunderstanding, the old man didn't even say a word, no matter how much he apologized, he didn't look at him in the slightest. The old man was very clear in his heart, thinking I didn't know you were the leader of Jinyiwei!
Xin Han wanted to talk to the old man about his thoughts, but at the beginning, Sun Chengzong started humming Hebei Luantan, also known as Qin Opera, which was ugly, and there was no way to talk about it.
In the end, Xin Han's evil thoughts broke out, and he tied up the old man's family members, and asked the people below to put knives around their necks, and then said to the old man: "Other people ask for money to sing, but old man Sun, you sing hard. If you want to sing today, you have to pay for it." See blood!"
The old man finally stopped singing, but he also didn't speak, at least let Xin Han finish his speech.
When Sun Chengzong heard that Xin Han planned to let him sit in Shanhaiguan instead of him, he couldn't help being very surprised. He stared at him for a long time, his eyes were full of that, I didn't expect you to have self-knowledge in your eyes.
Xin Han also saw that the old man's eyes were not serious, and immediately said: "What kind of eyes are you? This capable person is about the same as me!"
After hearing Xin Han's shameless words, Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time before nodding his head in agreement. Firstly, he was obliged to resist Jin after the independent resistance, and secondly, he was also afraid of Jinyiwei's methods and wanted to protect his family.
Although the old man has no substantive official position, all the generals in Shanhaiguan are convinced, which also solves Xin Han's worries.
After Xin Han met with a group of martial arts professionals, he recruited the generals in the army to give these martial arts professionals simple military training, and also conducted several actual combat exercises to let them understand the horror of cavalry charging in the face of battle.
When the major sects realized how powerful they were and put away their contempt, Xin Han led his Jin Yiwei and these martial arts people directly out of the pass and headed towards Mongolia.
As soon as Old Man Sun waited for him to leave, he wrote to the court to report Xin Han, Governor of Liaodong and Commander of Jinyiwei, for leaving his post without authorization.
But now Xin Han doesn't know what happened later, he is leading this group of people towards Khalkha.
