Chapter 34 First Meeting Wu Sangui

"On June 20th, one or two or four dollars of defensive official silver was passed. Go to the female wall to see the strong wind outside the Guan. The wall is no more than eight feet high, and the number of soldiers is no more than fifty. The wind is strong, and the mountains in the distance are surrounded by mist. , Like the waves of the Bohai Sea in a typhoon..."

"On June 24, since the control official learned that, from now on, to take pine nuts, hazel mushrooms, animal skins and other mountain products outside the customs, each transaction requires six silver coins. This is the payment of silver after the regular tax. The name is Liu Jian, vulgar and lecherous.

On July 9th, the people who left the customs came back. I counted very clearly. One hundred and twenty-seven people went out and two hundred and eighty-nine people returned. I decided to meet those who did not leave the city but returned to the city. ..."

On July 10th, I met Wang Xiong and spent 400 texts with him in the restaurant to discuss fur business outside the customs. Wang Xiong was drunk and said-the best leather is in Jiannu's hands. If you want to get these goods, you need to talk to him. Wu manages to catch up with the relationship. "

　　 On July 11th, I gave a post to Wu Xiao, the manager of the Wu family house, but there was no news.

　　 On July 14th, I once again offered a greeting card with two golden leaves to Wu Xiao, and I had to respond—Wait!

　　 On July 15th, I caught Wu Xiao at the prostitute in Beichunlou, and went back to the safe house for interrogation for 7 days. I can get all the news of the Shanhaiguan gate and the slave building, which is recorded in a separate book, so I won’t repeat it.

　　 On the second day of August, the Four Seas Company issued 67 taels of silver and came to a customs order... to try to contact with slaves!

　　 Han Lingshan stayed in the back house for three days. After he came out, he said to Wen Yushan: "Those things are too dangerous for you. I have destroyed them all."

　　 Wen Yushan chuckled, "I already have it in my head."

　　 Han Lingshan sighed: "I'm wronged you."

　　 Wen Yushan put his hands in his sleeves and smiled: "I'm waiting for the moment the Lantian army arrives at Shanhaiguan."

　　 Han Lingshan Road: "Shanhaiguan is not important. The important thing is the people here. You have to understand that any strong city is just a pile of bricks to my Lantian army, and the people inside are even more important...

　　 Great Wall, Great Wall, as long as you see this thing, you will feel mixed. "

　　 Wen Yushan said: "The customs clearance has been completed, Lao Han, you are not an adventurous person. Why do you have to leave the customs this time? I don't think there is anything to discuss with Jiannu.

　　The only way we can talk to Jiannu is through swords and artillery. "

　　 Han Lingshan didn't explain to Wen Yushan, it's not that he couldn't believe him, but Wen Yushan shouldn't think so.

　　 Wen Yushan saw that Han Lingshan's face was gloomy, so he sighed and stopped asking. During the next ten days waiting to leave the customs, Han Lingshan visited the entire Guancheng in the name of Nanjing Guozijian Supervisor.

　　 Shanhaiguan is actually a military fortress with the Great Wall as the main body, Shanhaiguan City as the core, and Dongluo City, Xiluo City, Left-wing City, and Right-wing City as the surrounding military fortresses.

On the 52-li-long Great Wall line from Laolongtou in the south and Jiumenkou in the north, there are 129 castles, passes, enemy platforms, city platforms, beacon towers, and piers, forming a complete Great Wall defense system.

　　 The entire city pass lies on the narrow passage between Yanshan Mountain and the sea. From the architectural layout, it is really worthy of his title of "The First Pass in the World".

On this line of defense, the imperial court spends four million taels of national money every year...Out of this city, the cities of Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Dalinghe and so on outside are not so much the cities belonging to the Ming Dynasty, as they are. Belongs to the home city of Liaodong generals.

　　Han Lingshan stood on the Great Wall facing the hunting sea breeze, stroking the rough duofeng and muttered to himself: "Compared with these people, the county lord is so kind."

According to Wen Yushan’s records, Han Lingshan came to a clear judgment that the soldiers on the defense line outside the pass do not belong to the imperial court, but belong to the frontier generals, called the family soldiers, and almost everything outside the city Farmers in the country are tenants of the side generals, and each side general is a person with innumerable wealth.

　　 On the one hand, they looked down on Jian slaves and thought they were savages. On the other hand, they looked down on the court and believed that the court was weak and incompetent. It was in their interests to keep the current situation unchanged.

　　 If the building of slaves is not that strong, and Daming is not so desperate to throw money here, they might have established themselves as kings long ago.

　　 Han Lingshan doesn't know how long the current situation can last, and it is not Shanhaiguan itself that determines the fate of Shanhaiguan, but the imperial court, the Qing Dynasty, and even Lantian County.

　　 There was the sound of bootstrapping from behind, a team of soldiers stepped onto the Great Wall from the female wall, and Han Lingshan humbly stepped aside from the road and bowed his hands in salute.

　　 "Who are you?"

　　 A clear voice came, Han Lingshan followed his reputation and saw a young general with a phoenix-winged helmet, a mountain pattern fish scale armor and a short beard standing in front of him, looking at him with piercing eyes.

　　 "Student Han Lingshan is a student of the Nanjing Imperial College."

　　 "Why come to Shanhaiguan?"

"Study Tour!"

　　 The young general made a haha ​​and said: "A good excuse." Then he scolded the left and right: "This is a military secret place. How can I easily let people come up?"

Seeing that Han Lingshan bowed his head to the left and right, he said in irritation: "Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles is the right of the Da Ming scholar. If I want to, with the imperial prison in my arms, it is General Wu. The White Tiger Festival Hall in China can also go through, how can it not be on the Great Wall to remember the past."

　　 The young general glanced at Han Lingshan and said: "You may not be able to enter General Wu's White Tiger Festival Hall."

　　 After despising Han Lingshan, he said to the general on his left: "This is your negligence, with a staff of thirty."

　　 The general took a spiteful look at Han Lingshan, then knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists, saying, "The last general will take the command!"

　　 Han Lingshan looked at the young general and said, "General, let's beat me with these thirty sticks."

　　 The young general was surprised for a moment and said: "You are a supervising student of the Imperial College, you can't fight."

　　 Han Lingshan Road: "Students once suffered thirty boards in Lantian County, and another thirty boards in Shanhaiguan are just one east and one west, and each other is interesting."

　　 The young general said, "You provoke Yunzhao in Lantian County?"

Han Lingshan said, "I accidentally took a peek at his Phoenix Mountain barracks. It didn’t matter. It’s just that the students were naturally bold, so they slipped into the barracks and prepared to take a closer look before they went in. They were caught alive. , My head is hard to protect!"

　　 The young general waved his hand to spare the general once, and looked at Han Lingshan with interest: "Since you have seen Yunzhao's military power, how do you think Lantian County's military formation compares to my Liaodong athlete?"

　　 Han Lingshan sighed deeply, turned around and looked at the waves of Wang Yang in a low voice: "You are all strong, but your majesty is weak."

　　 The young general came to Han Lingshan and said, "I have no more than a hundred people, and no more than 10,000 soldiers, how can I be called powerful."

　　 Han Lingshan did not answer the young general's words, but changed the subject and said: "I want to visit Jianzhou!"

　　 The young general said: "What are you looking at? Are you ready to serve as a slave?"

　　 Han Lingshan shook his head and said: "My parents, wives and children are in the Central Plains. I just want to go to the land of tigers and wolves to see what the savages can do to me so miserable."

　　 The young general smiled and said, "Jiannu recently established Hongwen Academy. Where do you want to try your luck?"

　　 Han Lingshan said: "Han is not shameless to the point."

The young general smiled and said: "That's because you haven't fought Jiannu before. You may not think so when you meet Jiannu. You people always look up to yourself, thinking that your ambitions are noble and there is nowhere to be able. Contaminated with dust, it is a pity that as long as the knife rests on the neck, the knee bends faster than anyone else."

　　 Han Lingshan glanced at the long knife that appeared on his neck and smiled, "My legs are not bent."

　　 The young general laughed and said, "But, you are sweating on your forehead."

　　 Han Lingshan said angrily: "My legs are not bent!"

　　 A soldier raised his leg and kicked at the bend of Han Lingshan's knee. He knelt on the ground with a bang, but he still looked up and said: "My legs are not bent."

　　The young general looked down at Han Lingshan and said, "Are you really going to visit Jianzhou?"

　　 Han Lingshan gritted his teeth and said: "The master said that the master's skills can be used to control slaves!"

　　 The young general frowned and said, "According to what you mean, you have seen Lantian County and came to my Liaodong. Then, have you been to Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong?"

Han Lingshan said, "I saw the prosperity that surpassed all areas of Daming in Lantian County, and in Li Hongji's place, I saw countless people who follow blindly construct siege ladders with their bodies, and bite Daming desperately. I saw countless riders from Zhang Bingzhong. The people of horses, they turned themselves into demons, and blood flowed into rivers wherever they went. In Liaodong, I saw a dead silence~www.wuxiahere.com~Everyone lives for today, no matter what happens tomorrow.

　　 If I could go to Jianzhou myself, I would know the real reason why this world is so chaotic. "

The young general lowered his head and thought for a while, stood in front of the female wall with his hands back and looked at the rough sea for a long time, and finally sighed: "I can send someone to Liaodong, but if you come back, I mean, if, If you can come back, tell me what you saw in Jianzhou."

　　 Han Lingshan struggled to stand up and said decisively: "A word is for sure!"

　　 The youth general threw a card to Han Lingshan and said: "With this thing, you can cross my Daming line of defense and go to Jianzhou. I don't know if Jiannu will kill you. It depends on your luck."

　　 Han Lingshan glanced at the word "Wu" wrapped in moiré on the waist card, clasped his fist and said, "I wonder if it is the general of the Wu family?"

　　 The young general said: "Wu Sangui of a certain family is the eldest man."

　　 Han Lingshan's gaze stayed on Wu Sangui's face for a long time, and it took a long time before he handed over: "The young hero who saved his father bravely is disrespectful and disrespectful."

　　 Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Let me see Jianu for me. I also want to know why Jianu can rely on thirteen armors to achieve such a great cause!"

　　 After finishing speaking, he took his subordinates to Jiumenkou along the Great Wall.

　　 Han Lingshan watched Wu Sangui's back and muttered to himself: "So, if I go to Jianzhou, the probability of coming back alive increases to 80%. This probability can still be a bet."
