It is not convenient to ask if there are outsiders.

After the lack of outsiders arrived at the back hall, before Zu Dashou asked, Fang Yizao was already anxious to ask: "What military order has the governor sent?"

"Let the general and Jin Guofeng exchange their bases for half a year!" Zu Dashou answered quickly, and then he was a little puzzled, "However, the military order did not mention the issue of military farming!"

Fang Yizao was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know that Jianlu had sent troops, so he didn't care. After all, this matter of changing defense is not a big deal.

What he cared about at this time was something else, so he heard him say to Zu Dashou seriously: "He asked the official to pass on the matter of farming directly."

Speaking of this, he paused and said with a somewhat ugly expression: "He wants you to personally rectify the military farm account book and pay it, otherwise if he takes action, he will have to recover the food that has been greedy for many years."

Upon hearing this, Zu Dacheng couldn't help but be furious and said, "Can he really not take us seriously?"

Fang Yizao heard this and turned his head to look at him, understanding what he was relying on!

In addition to Zu Dashou himself being the general of Jinzhou, Zu Dashou's second brother, Dabi, and his cousin Dale, were also the general. In addition, his third brother, Dacheng, was appointed as the guerrilla general and his cousin's family as the guard;

In addition, the heir of the nephew, Zerun, the eldest son Zepu, the second son Zechun, the third son Zeqing, the adopted son Kefa, the son of his cousin, Zehong, the son of his cousin, Zepei, the son of his cousin, Zeyuan, the son of his cousin, and others, served as deputy generals and generals;

Those who are younger or with other branches, such as those who follow Zi Shixiang, Bangwu, Yunlong, Keyong, Bangjie, etc., are guerrilla or other low-ranking military officers. With the grandfather, sons and nephews, and the descendants of the Zu family, three generations, they form the general to the deputy general and general. The guerrilla officers have a total of 407 backbone members. The Guanning Army can actually be called the Zu family army.

Of course, many of them are now on Jianlu, and they surrendered in the Battle of Daling River. But even so, the power of the Zu family army is very large.

However, Fang Yizao had no confidence. He did not accept Zu Dacheng's words, but pointed to the packages placed on the ground and said, "These are letters from the nephew Wu Sangui, the chief of the aiding general, and were brought by the emperor's triumphant. You can take a look first!"

On the way he came, he had actually opened some of them and looked at them, so he was even more shocked and had no confidence.

Zu Dashou was happy at first because he heard that Wu Sangui was promoted to the general officer of the aid and suppression as he wished, which means that there was another general in the Zu family's army.

But soon, he realized something was wrong and asked, "The Emperor is triumphant? Then why didn't he return to Guanning?"

In order to make Wu Sangui's contribution without unexpected results, he actually gave Wu Sangui's elite servants the capital. Zu Dashou didn't have much in his hands, so he cared about this army very much.

Fang Yizao still didn't answer, but pointed his hand at the wrapping on the ground and said, "You can see it yourself first! He also has a letter, right at the top of the first wrap."

After saying that, he served the tea and started drinking it himself.

He rushed over quickly, and he was so tired.

Zu Dashou knew something was different, so he stopped talking. He quickly stepped over to get the first package, unbuttoned it, and found that it was full of letters. Obviously, almost 1,500 soldiers had written or asked someone to write letters from home, all of which were in these packages.

He didn't care about anything else and saw Wu Sangui's letter at a glance.

Zu Dashou naturally recognized Wu Sangui's notes and knew that it was written by Wu Sangui himself, so he immediately expanded and read it.

The others present went to read other people's letters and read them one by one.

Without Fang Yizao's expectations, Zu Dashou and others looked at these letters, and their faces became very ugly one by one.

Seeing this, he sighed in his heart, not surprising about it!

Including Wu Sangui, the Guanning Army soldiers described their experiences in their letters, and their words all revealed their admiration for the emperor's wise and magical martial arts!

The letters written by me may have less content, mostly about being safe and well-made, and getting rewards.

And those who I can write about, including Wu Sangui, have said too much in the letter.

Especially Wu Sangui, although he didn't know how the matter in Guanning would develop later, he could have some predictions. Therefore, he was even more troubled and said all the actions of the emperor along the way, including speaking and doing things.

At the end of the letter, Wu Sangui concluded: "The emperor is wise and virtuous, and loves the people as his sons, and is extremely loved by the soldiers and the people. With such an emperor, the rebellion in the Ming Dynasty will sooner or later be pacified by the emperor. My nephew is now ordered to arrest the rebel general Chai Shihua, and has assured the emperor that those who rebel against the Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away..."

When Zu Dashou saw this, his face looked very ugly.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sangui still reminded him at the end that his cousins ​​on Jianlu would be better off running back as soon as possible, or Zu Dashou would explain to the emperor that they had no choice but to be on Jianlu's side.

After reading it, Zu Dashou slapped the letter on the table and went to see other letters in the package. So, Wu Sangui's letter was taken by others in turn to read it.

Anyway, as they watched, they were impatient and stopped looking. Each of them looked very ugly, just like their parents died.

"Brother, you must not send these letters!" Zu Dacheng suddenly spoke and suggested to Zu Dashou, "Otherwise, it will shake the morale of the army!"

The so-called shaking of the morale of the army is actually shaking the morale of the Zu family army.

Zu Dashou naturally understood this. When he was about to nod, he saw Fang Yizao put the teacup and let out a "pop". It was obviously a little anxious. He immediately said, "No, these letters were handed over to the official in front of the angels and sent them to me. If they did not send them, or the letters sent were replaced, and they would find out when they came back in the future. There were so many people, it was difficult for anyone to tell this matter. In this way, the official had ulterior motives and made it difficult for me to do it!"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he couldn't help but have big thoughts. He couldn't say in front of Fang Yizao, "Don't worry about you!"

Fang Yizao was at least the governor of Liaodong, and was considered a rank of civil servants among civil servants. He was the highest official position he had tried every means to win over. No matter what, he could not offend him.

However, if these letters are left, he can imagine what impact the emperor's prestige will have on the Zu family's army!

This emperor is really, isn’t that bad in the past? He did such an outstanding job in the imperial army!

The emperor is a deeply rooted supreme person in the minds of people of this era. If the emperor is hated, it will reduce the influence of the emperor on people of this era. But the question is, what if the emperor is a good emperor? Then there will naturally be huge advantages and can influence all soldiers and people!

Just as he was thinking, Zu Dale suddenly spoke, "Sir Zhongcheng, why don't you give us these packages in a place with a lot of people outside. Then these packages accidentally caught fire, so what should be the matter with Master Zhongcheng! Is this good?"

When Zu Dashou heard this, he immediately felt that this was a good idea. Even if someone asked, it would not be difficult to just push someone to take the blame. After all, it was just a family trust, so how many people would care?

However, Fang Yizao sighed and said, "It's not the question of whether to burn this package or not! It's because the emperor is wise and powerful. So many people say that it is impossible to be false. In this way, according to my opinion, it's better to have other ideas!"

"Master Zhongcheng, I am just protecting myself!" Zu Dashou heard this and quickly explained, "It's Sun Chuanting who is arrogant and wants to oppress us. If... if someone in the court can talk and transfer Sun Chuanting back, or..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Yizao. He saw him shook his head and said decisively: "Impossible! I have figured it out along the way. Sun Chuanting won the holy favor and would never be able to touch him. It would be better to collect his thoughts in this regard. Otherwise, once the factory guards follow the clues and know that you are trying to make trouble behind the scenes, they might be furious. Is that good?"

Hearing this question, Zu Dashou was silent, and his brothers were silent.

The back hall became very quiet, which made the Zu brothers feel panicked. In fact, Fang Yizao was also panicked.

After a while, Fang Yizao suddenly sighed and said, "It is probably impossible for Liaodong to learn from Li Chengliang again. The current emperor is far more wise than Emperor Wanli, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be fooled again..."

What he said was that Li Chengliang was the only one in Liaodong, holding the military power of Liaodong, and raising the enemy and respecting himself, almost the king of Liaodong.

When he was speaking, he saw Zu Dashou looking up at him, as if he wanted to make a good decision, so he reached out and shook his hand and said, "Let me finish it. If the three governors said that the defeat of Jianlu before was probably due to the three governors, then this time, the emperor personally led the expedition to pacify the Hetao Tartars and the thieves in the pass. Let me ask, if your Zu family was sent, could it be so easy to pacify? Which emperor could have the ability of the Ming Dynasty? Do you think that if Taizu Chengzu was in power, could Li Chengliang or your Zu family be able to withstand?"

What he said was that the ability of the emperor today was comparable to that of Taizu Chengzu. Zu Dashou could hear this. In fact, he was so easy that he could win over the emperor, and even made the Guanning Army sent out, including his own nephew, admire the emperor very much. He knew that he was actually not qualified to confront the court.

The rise of Zu Dashou and the "Zu Family Generals" can actually be traced back to the era when Zu Dashou's father Zu Chengxun. Zu Chengxun joined the "Liao Army" of Li Chengliang, and experienced the military officer of the garrison who was promoted from a small flag to a commander of the commander of the Tongzhi of the Ministry of Justice. Later, he was promoted to deputy general, which also opened the future of the Zu family.

Zu Dashou inherited his father's military status and served as the assistant commander of Ningyuan. After the rebellion of the wild boar Pi Nurhaci, Zu Dashou was highly valued for his identity as a "Liao people". Under the policy of "using the Liao people to defend the Liao territory", the Zu family and its generals who lived in Ningyuan for generations were highly anticipated by the former Liaodong governors or supervisors, and was called the "Zu family generals" with "his clan party very strong."

This Zu family general was named Zu Dashou, the commander of the senior military officer, a senior military officer, who was appointed by the Ming Wei, as the supreme commander; the Liaoxi generals formed a network of relatives, and the Zu surname formed a blood relationship such as "adopted sons and servants".

For example, Zu Dashou married his own sister to Wu Xiang of the Zhonghou Institute; while Zu Dashou's sons and nephews Pei Guozhen, Hu Hongxian, and Xia Guoxiang married the Wu Sangui family. It must be emphasized that Pei Guozhen and Hu Hongxian were all senior hereditary military officers from Ningyuanwei.

It is through various relationships that the Zu Family Army was formed, the Guanning Army, the actual nickname.

Although Zu Dashou was able to recognize the reality, after years of hard work, how could he let go of his heart in his heart after giving up and becoming a regular Ming general?

Seeing Zu Dashou struggling, Fang Yizao suddenly raised his voice a little, and his tone became firm and said: "If you insist on doing your own thing, I would rather surrender to the emperor. Even if there is no hope of further progress in the future, I will not accompany you along the way to the dark!"

The reason he said this was because he was dragged into the water by Zu Dashou. Not only did he receive a lot of benefits from Zu Dashou, but his son and Wu Sangui also formed brothers of different surnames and were tied to his Zu family army by Zu Dashou.

However, the first thing is that Wu Sangui is obviously standing on the emperor's side. What's more important is that since the emperor allowed officials and eunuchs to surrender themselves, they could be exempted from their crimes, such as Gao Qiqian; if he had no choice but to surrender himself, he should be able to do so!

The combined reason of these two aspects made him feel that this path may still be a way of life. Of course, if Zu Dashou could listen to advice, it would be the best.

As soon as he said this, he immediately shocked the Zu brothers present. Some were surprised, some were angry, and they were all staring at him anyway.

Zu Dashou was no exception. He didn't expect that Fang Yizao was afraid of this, which was a bit beyond his expectations.

Before he could speak, Fang Yizao said bitterly again: "Actually, for the court, the worst step is that you defect to Jianlu. But the question is, can you take down Shanhaiguan? If you can't take down Shanhaiguan, the three camps under the Imperial Horse Supervision will definitely come to attack you. Can you stop it?"

"Even if you take a step back, even if you take down Shanhaiguan, there are three strong troops in the army, and there will only be more red barbarian cannons in the pass than here. At that time, the court will attack Shanhaiguan. Do you think you can defend it?"

"Besides, if you surrender to Jianlu, you will still be under the control of the slave chief. Do you think that the slave chief really allows your ancestors' power to be out of his control? In this case, why should you surrender to the barbarians and shame their ancestors?"

Fang Yizao said so much in one breath, and he had finished speaking. He stood up and prepared to leave: "I will take these packages away. Please consider them carefully. This next step is very important to you! I will wait only for three days. If you don't get your answer in three days, or if you still have to do your own thing, then I will go back to Shanhaiguan."

The meaning is very clear. He is going to go back and surrender himself and no longer be with Zu Dashou and others.

After saying that, he did not hesitate and strode to the door, preparing to call out his personal guard.
