Chapter seven hundred and forty-one rivers and lakes surging waves
"What is this person's words come from the most affection and are criticized by others? This person's words have the thoughts of others... One thought arises and a hundred thoughts arise, which causes the five internal organs to be angry, the fire surging, and the yin and yang are not in harmony, so they are irritable. This is a lack of virtue..."
A young scholar was walking slowly on the official road with a long knife hanging around his waist, riding a tall horse with a tall horse, slowly reciting articles from where he looked.
Since the thousands of years of Confucianism's education, this kind of scholar looks awe-inspiring at first glance, especially riding a tall horse, which also shows that even if the scholar has no talent and some money at home, it must be.
For this reason, if the pedestrians on this official road were sitting in a sedan chair, they would open the curtains and look secretly, and if they were not reserved, they would ask the servants to come over and ask for teaching questions.
The scholar was not too handsome, but had a temperament, which was always different from others and was different from others.
There was no one at this moment, and the scholar shook his head and felt happy, which was really a bit sour.
This horse was pretty good, but the owner was a little unintentional to rush the road, so he was gradually left behind by the people traveling with him. A carriage gradually came, and the old man was rushing around. When he saw the scholar, he couldn't help but slow down.
"Scholar, have you ever won any fame?"
The scholar shook his head and continued to recite sourly: "You can eat with me, but nothing can be with you. After eating, you will complain about the kitchen. How can you be so unpalatable? The chef said: I can scold me, please pay for the meal first, otherwise it will be a thief..."
The old man who drove the car suddenly laughed: "You are different from what others read... I listen to others studying, but I don't understand at all. Why do you speak like you are studying?"
The scholar smiled and said, "I'm bored too. Old man, where are you going?"
The old man who was driving the car smiled and said, "Where am I going? Where else can I go? Isn't this official road just from Liaodong?" He took out a wine gourd and said, "Scholar, do you drink wine?"
The scholar shook his head and signaled not to drink. He took a sip by himself: "Scholar, I don't look like a native of Liaodong. Why are you doing going to Liaodong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to travel around." The person dressed by the scholar was Xu Le. He had no fixed goals in this world, but he just looked around while strengthening himself.
It was the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and it was not convenient to bring the favors when walking, and it was easier to cause trouble in the world. Since Xu Le only wanted to travel, he simply changed his status to a more convenient one. Once this scholar dressed up, no one in the world would get close to the world, and ordinary people also had a lot of kindness, which really saved him a lot of trouble.
The old man who was driving shook his head: "It is good to travel, but you, a scholar who has no power to go to the chaotic Liaodong, shouldn't have gone to the chaotic Liaodong."
Xu Le was a little curious: "Why shouldn't it? Liaodong is also the world of the Ming Dynasty, why can't I go?"
The old man suddenly laughed: "Although you have so many, you don't know what's going on in the world. When did the war in Liaodong stop in the past few decades? A few years ago, the Mongols caused trouble and were put down by General Li Chengliang."
"Recently, General Li Chengliang has wiped out many Jurchen tribes and built Kuandian Six Forts to let them do business with us..."
After hearing this, Xu Le was slightly surprised. He never thought that he was at this time. At this time, Li Chengliang was still a general, fighting in the east and west, and successively won ten major victories. He should be the only famous general who could be compared with Qi Jiguang after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
He managed Liaodong and western Liaoning, leaving behind a large territory. When he was alive, this territory was as solid as a soul. He built a system of family and generals who were only loyal to him in the first half of his life, and was a local emperor in the entire Liaodong. He was cruel to everyone, to the enemy, to the people, and to the people, and to eliminate innocent people and ethnic minority tribes to kill good people and make achievements. His actions are really hard to believe that he has won fame and fortune and was once a scholar.
That is, he himself, in his 20 or 30 years of his later years, ruined all his family's assets and all his achievements. No one knew why his stupidity in his later years cooperated with the rise of Nurhaci. He himself destroyed the last army that could conquer and fight well in the Ming Dynasty, destroyed his generals and soldiers, and turned them from good generals and heavenly soldiers into worms who love money and life.
Such a guy can be seen, and it must be extremely interesting.
Xu Le thought to himself, and said nothing to the old man who was driving the car. The two of them set off on the road together and walked slowly along the official road out of seclusion. A few days later, they arrived at a market. The old man drove the carriage to find someone to hand in the service. Xu Le slowly wandered around and got on the way.
Kuandian Liubao is a foreign exchange between Han and Liaodong, so it has a large population, and there are more than tens of thousands of Han people. The businessmen who communicate at home are really a rare place for prosperity outside the pass.
When Xu Ledao was at the Six Fortress of Kuandian, he was about to pass by the army. The soldiers hurried over, sparse and had no queues at all. This was normal. If it were Qi Jiguang's subordinates, they would have to be obeyed and the rules were strict. Since Li Chengliang's subordinates could kill good people and make achievements, it was not surprising that they were full of bandits.
Xu Le stopped the horse and asked someone to inquire. Only then did he realize that the three sons of the leader of the Jurchens were rebelling, and Li Chengliang was mobilizing his army to quell the rebellion.
Xu Le heard it a little cloudy and mist. The leader of the Jurchen tribe actually gave him the name Wang. His three sons are Atai and Ahai, and they are all things he had never heard of.
Speaking of the Jurchens at this moment, shouldn’t it be Nurhaci or Huang Taiji? Even if the titles of the Ming Dynasty are different, at most there is a difference between "Huang Taiji" and "Huang Taiji". Where did these people appear?
Xu Le did not know that there were many tribes of the Ninth Emperor at this time. The so-called Jianzhou Jurchens were just one of them. When Atai and Ahai were in trouble, there was no general name like Jianzhou Jurchens.
After running past this group of soldiers with no military power, there were finally a group of neatly dressed soldiers lined up in a row. The soldiers slowly walked by. A general who was about forty or fifty years old on a yellow horse and led a group of military generals to slowly bridle and follow behind.
Xu Le was riding a horse in the crowd beside him, watching them and listening to the people next to him whispering, and then he realized that the young general was Li Chengliang.
Li Chengliang felt something, looked at him, and saw that he was sitting upright and looking back, he was displeased: "Come here, put this guy's horse into his army, give him armor and weapons, and let him go to war with the army!"
Xu Le couldn't help but be stunned: "General Li, why do you want to do this..."
Before he could finish his words, two generals walked over with whips and cursed: "You birdman..."
Xu Le shook his head slightly and laughed: "Forget it, I'll just go with you once, but I have to ride this horse for the time being."
A general shouted and whipped it over: "You are so splashing, I won't take you..."
Xu Le reached out and grabbed the military general and the whip, and fell to the side.
Seeing this, Li Chengliang was surprised: "You scholar, you have some strength! Why not be a general under my command and will bring you wealth and honor. What do you think?"
Seeing this scholar's amazing courage and calmness, he rarely felt a loving heart and attracted him.
