Chapter 60 (2) Save our uncle

After Wang Zaijin arrived at Shanhaiguan, he took active actions to build a new city outside Shanhaiguan for defense.But Yuan Chonghuan came to make trouble, saying: You can't do it like this, it's inappropriate, you should go and defend Ningyuan City, old Wang. Wang Zaijin got very angry and said: "Go, go, what's the matter with you here, don't make trouble." So Yuan Chonghuan went out excitedly, and wrote two letters to Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War. The letter was extremely long, but it was just one sentence: keep Ningyuan, keep Ningyuan, keep Ningyuan, and definitely keep Ningyuan ... Sun Chengzong thought in his heart who this person was, and it was outrageous to write a letter to the leader by leapfrogging.After inquiring again, I found out that the writer of the letter was Yuan Chonghuan, who had recently disappeared from the Ministry of War.

So Sun Chengzong called Yuan Chonghuan, and severely criticized him: It's outrageous, writing letters by leapfrogging, disorganized and disciplined, do you still have leaders in your eyes? Yuan Chonghuan said: Give me 200,000 yuan, and I can keep Ningyuan alone. Sun Chengzong: Really? Yuan Chonghuan: If it is fake, it will be replaced. At that moment, Sun Chengzong slapped the table: Okay, Wang Zaijin's leadership ability is indeed a bit weak, so let's transfer him to the finance department, where it is easy to make money.From now on, the hard work in Liaodong will be handed over to you.

So Yuan Chonghuan set off again with two hundred thousand taels of silver in his arms. Arrive at Ningyuan City first, and as soon as you enter the city gate, you see a man running towards you, crying loudly: Yuan Jinglue, Yuan Jinglue, do me a little favor, I have something to trouble you. Yuan Chonghuan asked: Who are you? The other party replied: I am Wu Xiang, the general of Ningyuan. Yuan Chonghuan was very puzzled: Wu Xiang, you are also a general after all, why are you crying like this? Wu Xiang said: "Yuan Jinglue, seeing that my brother-in-law is about to be beheaded, do you think I can stop crying?"

Yuan Chonghuan asked: Who is our uncle? Wu Xiang said: "Our eldest uncle is the grandson of the general ancestor." Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while: Don't let us... I've heard of Zu Dashou. When he comes to the battlefield, he can escape faster than a rabbit. He can't even catch up with wild boar skin. General, now I can run as fast as Da Ming. There are too few people who have ever had wild boar skin.So Wu Xiang, who is going to kill Zu Dashou? It is Sun Chengzong who wants to kill Zu Dashou. So why did Sun Chengzong kill his ancestors for his birthday? It turned out that since the last firefight between Zu Dashou and the wild boar skin, he was chased to Juehua Island by Sibeile Huang Taiji. At first, Sun Chengzong ordered Zu Dashou to prepare weapons and armor on Juehua Island. The equipment was transported to Ningyuan City.But this is an abandoned city, only the people who fled into this city look forward to the stars, the moon, and the arrival of the Ming Dynasty's Liberation Army, but no one is guarding them.So after Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang arrived in Ningyuan, Sun Chengzong stayed in Ningyuan.

This town guards Ningyuan, and the first job is to mobilize the masses and organize manpower to build the city wall.But doing this job requires money. The wages of the servants, bricks, walls and stones all cost a lot of money.No one allocated special construction funds to Zu Dashou. Zu Dashou couldn't afford to live without rice. He had to struggle for a long time to build a short and thin small earthen wall, but failed to pass the inspection and acceptance of the relevant departments. Chengzong became angry, and immediately ordered people to tie Zu Dashou to the execution ground, and cut off Zu Dashou's head first.

Knowing this situation, Yuan Chonghuan became anxious immediately, and said: Zu Dashou, a strong man, can run faster than wild boar skin. He is really a rare talent. It is recommended not to kill him, it is best not to kill him. Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to plead for Zu Dashou. Sun Chengzong approved a reading, but did not comment on the matter. This means: do what you Yuan Chonghuan likes, so do what you want. Zu Dashou escaped with his life, and he has been grateful to Yuan Chonghuan ever since. Then Yuan Chonghuan took out the two hundred thousand taels of silver and ordered Zu Dashou to oversee the construction of Ningyuan City.

Having money means doing things well. In the newly built Ningyuan City, the walls are three feet two feet high, the battlements are six feet high, the base is three feet wide, and the top of the walls is two feet four feet wide. In this way, I have been busy for four years.Just as the merchants and people in Liaodong rushed to settle in Ningyuan City in an endless stream, the Ming court became nervous again, reversed the elimination, and revoked all the leadership positions of Sun Chengzong. Wild boar skin was fighting with his wife Abahai in the Shenyang palace, when he suddenly heard the news, he immediately left the palace in grief and indignation, saying: The Ming Dynasty is too outrageous. Is it tolerable to destroy peace, which is unbearable?The people of Houjin can't bear it anymore. I decided to protect my hometown and defend peace. The people of Houjin's self-defense counterattack will start today.
