Chapter 116 Traitors, Although Far Away Will Be Punished
"Yuan Zhi, although I, Li Xin, are not a good person, I will never betray my own nation. A person who even my own nation will betray me is definitely not a good person. Fan Yongdou is definitely a damn guy. Although we can't do anything to them at the moment, I believe that I will definitely eradicate these eight major families in the future." Li Xin said viciously.
"What the lord said makes sense. I have long been disgusted with these guys." Zhang Yifu nodded repeatedly and said, "These guys control all the items. If people like me want to deliver goods outside the customs, they will draw 80% of the commissions there. If they don't agree, although they will not do anything to you on the surface, they will secretly make you lose your life out of thin air. Over the years, I don't know how many vendors have been destroyed by these major families in this way, and end up losing both their lives."
"That's to say that these guys still have troops in their hands?" Li Xin's eyes lit up.
"Not only are there troops, they are also in touch with the habitual bandits on the grassland. Otherwise, why can their goods safely walk on the grassland?" Zhang Yifu said without thinking.
"Since that's the case, I will cut off their arm first. I want to see if these bandits are killed. How can these eight aristocratic families have the courage to come out of seclusion?" Li Xin nodded. Thinking that the eight aristocratic families are rich and rich enough to rival a country, the family's silver may be more than the treasury of Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen worked hard all day long for military pay, but in the eyes of the eight major families, perhaps falling something from the cracks of his fingernails could make Emperor Chongzhen eat for a long time.
"If this is the case, it will be fine." Shi Yuanzhi thought for a while and nodded, saying, "But the lord's outfit may have changed, otherwise, the eight major families would definitely know the lord's identity."
"That's natural." Li Xin nodded and suddenly laughed: "The people from the Zhuosuo League were defeated by us. I believe there must be some defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers who are trapped outside. In this way, I, Li Xin, will pretend to be these defeated soldiers. Since they are defeated soldiers, they should naturally make a living by robbing. If they grab the heads of his eight major families, they must have to admit that they are unlucky."
"Since it is a defeated general, it will not attract others' attention. The eight major families will definitely underestimate the lord. The lord can take the opportunity to show off his skills." Shi Yuanzhi also laughed.
"I don't know how the lord is going to leave? I heard that the imperial court has sent an imperial envoy to announce the order and ask the lord to be the lieutenant Yao." Zhang Yifu said with a low smile.
"Please, Master Yao? Emperor Chongzhen really looks at me." Li Xin was slightly stunned. Finally, he laughed and said.
"Emperor Chongzhen naturally respects his lord, because the eunuch who came to announce the order this time was Wang Chengen, the eunuch beside him. He heard that Wang Chengen was a slave of Emperor Chongzhen during his time in Qiandi and was loyal to Emperor Chongzhen. As for the so-called Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian, they were not as good as Wang Chengen's position in Chongzhen's heart." Zhang Yifu explained with a smile.
"I don't trust ministers, but I trust eunuchs. This emperor!" Li Xin shook his head, and finally said, "But, after all, these ministers are not good things. Some are greedy and afraid of death, some are corruption and bribes, and some are knowledgeable about foreigners. I will not trust such people even if I am pitiful. Chongzhen is really pitiful. People with a little talent under his command may be forced to death by him, or they are all people with no eyes. Such a country has been played with by these people. I really don't know if it is their sorrow."
"It is precisely because of Chongzhen's incompetence that the lord has existed." Shi Yuan said with a smile: "If Taizu Chengzu was in the world at this moment, how could the lord have today?"
"Yes! The prosperity of a dynasty was just a few years ago. As the saying goes, wealth is only for three generations, and the same is true for the country. After three generations, even the most powerful country will decline." Li Xin thought for a while and said.
"Lord, then Wang Cheng'en is here, what should I do?" Zhang Yifu asked again.
"As for what you should do, the imperial edict is followed. As for the others, I don't know." Li Xin said without thinking: "We are on the grassland, how can we know what happened in the Central Plains? Yuan Zhi, do you think so?"
"What the lord said is very much." Shi Yuan nodded straight. Both of them were smart people. Although Li Xin had a little reputation in the entire Ming Dynasty, he was actually just a small person. Twenty thousand people were nothing in Chongzhen's eyes. However, such a small force asked Chongzhen to send his confidant eunuch to come. There was no mystery here, that's possible, but at the moment, if Li Xin left Zhuosuo Alliance, it would be the best. Then Wang Chengen wanted to see what kind of person Li Xin was, which was almost impossible.
"If Wang Chengen came from Zhangjiakou, he might have met his lord. Unfortunately, outside Zhangjiakou, there is the territory of the Mongols, so Wang Chengen can only come from one place, that is, Shanhaiguan. When they arrive at Zhuosuo, the lord will probably have arrived in Zhangjiakou long ago." Zhang Yifu nodded repeatedly.
"No matter what, after I leave, you must stay at home well. This is our foundation." Li Xin thought for a while and said, "In fact, this time I went to Zhangjiakou not only to teach the eight major families a lesson, but also to see the movements of the tribes on the grassland. Although Jiannu was defeated and had to rest, I always felt that Jiannu would not give up, and he would not let me develop my own power with peace of mind."
"Well, can Jiannu come up with any other good solution? If his subordinates are not wrong, they must be thinking of a plan to kill people with a knife." Shi Yuanzhi said disdainfully.
"Oh! How do you say this?" Li Xin asked curiously.
"Jiannu was defeated by the lord this time, and his strength was greatly damaged, and his control over the eastern grassland was much smaller. Other tribes such as Korqin and Tuxitu followed Jiannu south many times over the years, and they didn't know how much benefit they had. Their strength increased a lot. On the grassland, most people advocated that strength should be the best. Whoever had a big fist would respect whoever had a big fist. In the past, the power of the imperial court was strong, so they surrendered to the imperial court. This is how Guihua City came about. Later, Lin Danhan was strong and surrendered to Lin Danhan. After Lin Danhan retreated to the western grassland, he surrendered to Jiannu. Jiannu suffered a lot of losses. I believe these tribes were about to start moving again. Jiannu probably knew that in a short period of time, he could not control these guys, so he simply let go. For example, Huang Taiji would be conditional on defeating or even destroying the lord.
, the winner was named Khan. In this way, the entire Mongolians would be enemies with their lords, thinking about how to get their lords' heads, and the grassland would be chaotic. On the one hand, they would think about how to deal with their lords, and on the other hand, they would think about how to deal with their own people. This was a chaotic grassland, while on the other hand, Jiannu was resting and recuperating, one rose and the other was growing. In the end, no matter who wins, he would be greatly injured. Jiannu only had one blow to determine the universe." It has to be said that although Shi Yuanzhi has never appeared in history, he has a very good grasp of people's hearts. I don't know why such people have not left their names in history. Although they have never seen Fan Wencheng and others, they have clearly explained Fan Wencheng's calculations. This is not something that any wise man can say.
"If this is the case, it will be bad for us!" Li Xin said with a serious expression: "Although we are strong and brave, we can't beat four hands with two fists. Our brothers are probably not the opponents of these tigers and wolves."
"Don't worry, lord, let alone Huang Taiji ordered these people to be summoned. Moreover, it also takes a certain amount of time for these grassland tribe coalitions. More importantly, such benefits must be put into their own hands. Why do others do this? I think that even if the coalition comes, it will definitely be uneven. Such an army, according to the lord's courage, will not only take them to heart? Being able to be the leader of various tribes, not only must be brave, but also treacherous. The lord can defeat Jiannu. Could these guys think about the strength of the lord? Whoever attacks first will definitely lose troops and lose generals. In this way, even if you want to attack the lord, you have to measure it." Shi Yuanzhi said disdainfully.
"Haha, Yuan Zhi said very much." Li Xin nodded and said, "If the elite soldiers under Huang Taiji, or Huang Taiji's leader, came in person, I would definitely retreat, but if these Mongolian tribes' army came, I would not be afraid no matter how many of them came."
"What the lord said is that no matter how many sheep there are, they are not the opponent of the lion." Shi Yuanzhi exclaimed sincerely.
"Actually, I want to see if Emperor Chongzhen knew about my current situation, would he regret it?" A strange light flashed through Li Xin's eyes.
"You can't know that people can make good use of it. Even if you have a country or a status, you will have no use." Shi Yuanzhi sighed and said, "The lord is brave and invincible. Even if Chongzhen can use his lord in a short period of time, he may be more afraid than trust. Otherwise, he would not have appointed the lord as the lord Yao Shiwei. According to the lord's achievements, it is okay to be a general, even a lord. Unfortunately, Chongzhen did not know all this."
"Forget it." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "I want to see this Zhangjiakou. Is it like the legend that nearly half of the money in the entire Ming Dynasty will appear in this small Zhangjiakou? Are the houses made of gold?"
"I wonder when the lord will set off?" Shi Yuanzhi asked quickly.
"I left overnight." Li Xin said without thinking: "So-called military speed is the most important thing. Although the eight major families are masters who make money, unfortunately, they do not understand military affairs. Like the civil officials in the court, one thinks he is Zhuge Liang, the other thinks that money can buy everything, and everyone is a martial artist, which is not enough for them to take seriously. Even if I am Li Xin, in their eyes, I am probably a person with good luck. The spy sent out is simply seen through us. Why should I be so nervous if I am a person who even underestimates his opponents! What I like and do best when I fight is that the larger the number, Yuan Zhi may be the one who is around me may still be above the old camp when I come back."
"Then I will congratulate you on my lord." Shi Yuan smiled and said quickly.
"Jutu, prepare your troops, half of the Mongolians, half of them are my guards, and everyone dresses up as Mongolians." Li Xin smiled and said, "I don't ride my dark clouds and snow, nor do I use my Fangtian Painting Ji. Just choose a war horse and hold a big knife. I am a horse bandit, who am I afraid of?"
