The matter of Mao Bijiang's father is a bit eyebrow-raising and can be transferred to a safe place, but these old places are already empty. When he heard about what had happened, he was also greatly melancholy, but soon his moral ideals helped him to free himself, and he said angrily: "I am anxious to save my father's troubles, so I have failed a woman, but I have no regrets." ”

Chen Yuanyuan and his father are really so opposed? It's not that Ming Media is marrying, it takes many preparations, and from the future, his wife is also very virtuous, and everything is not too difficult.

In fact, even if Chen Yuanyuan is not snatched away, he may not necessarily take her away, once he gets bored, he can change another one, why trap himself? Even if Chen Yuanyuan belongs to the famous porcelain with collectible value, but he is not a person who is used to impulsive shopping, he can be moved by the window, and he will be casually promised by the seller, but there is still a certain distance from paying for it. ”

There should be regrets, and it is best not to get it, which girls have the most experience, they have a fancy for a dress, hesitate and do not start, and look at it again the next day, it has been bought by others, how can it be a little lost. Mao Bijiang is afraid that he is boasting about it, Chen Yuanyuan's story has become a sad and stubborn legend, such a great beauty who has captivated the country and the city, but he has loved Mao Bijiang, he had to give up her in order to be a filial son. In this way, it was effortless to win the double championship of morality and charm.

Not all nostalgia is condensed by tenderness, some are emotional consumption, and some are pasted gold on their faces, and the latter should belong to the latter. Hearing that Chen Yuanyuan, who was as weak as a flower, was in and out, he had no pain, only depression, and he was depressed for most of the day, and he followed his friends to relax that night.

In the past two months, the words before leaving the country have been recalled in his mind, and Chen Yuanyuan has been waiting for his sweetheart to marry.

In the dark era of feudal society, a beautiful woman like a flower and the moon often brings many disasters to herself, as the so-called red face since ancient times. Especially in the year of famine, the fate of young women is even more precarious. Just when he rushed back to Suzhou from other places and wanted to marry Chen Yuanyuan with Qin and Jin, disaster fell from the sky, making him hate him for life.

When Mao Bijiang returned to Suzhou, Chen Yuanyuan had been ransomed by Tian Hongyu first, which prompted Mao Bijiang to search for another long-lost confidante Dong Xiaowan, who was afraid of repeating the same mistakes.

Tian Hongyu was the chief official of Yangzhou, and his daughter was elected as a concubine by Chongzhen, so the official title of Zuodu Governor was unstoppable among the emperor's relatives and relatives. Although Chen Yuanyuan was unwilling, he couldn't get help from others, because no one dared to offend Tian Hongyu, so he had to follow Tian Hongyu back to his house with tears.

After Tian Hongyu brought Chen Yuanyuan back, in order to please his master, he sent Chen Yuanyuan to the palace, ready to talk to the emperor to relieve his worries. When Jin met, Chen Yuanyuan was wearing a red xia fairy dress, and his eyebrows were lightly swept, but Chongzhen, who was at the head of the national crisis, had the intention to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Jiangnan beauty of the city.

Chongzhen didn't even look at it, but said lightly: "The country has reached this point, how can I have leisure?"

waved her hand and ordered her to be sent away, and Chen Yuanyuan only returned to Tianfu with a very aggrieved mood with bright eyes and bright teeth that no one regretted.

Chen Yuanyuan, a famous prostitute in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was discussed, and she couldn't get around the triangular relationship she formed with Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng, but she didn't know that this Gone with the Wind almost caught up with Emperor Chongzhen.

It was precisely Tian Hongyu's daughter Tian Guifei in the palace who pulled the thread, Tian Guifei became the queen of the West Palace, calling her Tianhou, she was quite favored by Chongzhen. Later, because of the turmoil in various places and the internal and external difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, as the number one, had a sad face all day long, and it was difficult to sleep and eat. Sometimes when I received an urgent document from the local government, I was helpless, so that I cried bitterly, and when I saw 3,000 fandel, no one paid attention to it.

Tian Hou didn't care about his fall from grace, but he was very worried about the emperor's body and mind, and tried everything to please him, but it didn't work. A girlfriend in her palace suggested: "Your maiden family has a new Chen Yuanyuan, and everyone loves her, why not let her sing to the emperor, maybe she can solve her worries." ”

Tian Hou thought this was a good idea, and hurried home to discuss with his old father whether he could take Chen Yuanyuan, who was beautiful and fragrant, as a gift. Tian Hongyu understood that his daughter's move was to please the Son of Heaven, considering that Chongzhen was his big backer after all, once he fell ill, the consequences would be unimaginable. I had to endure the pain and cut my love. picked a good day, found a reason, and personally led Chen Yuanyuan to meet the emperor.

Chongzhen saw Chen Yuanyuan, who was following Tian Hongyu, and felt that his reputation was worthy of his reputation, and Chen Yuanyuan's reputation had already spread all over the government and the opposition. Compared with the concubines in the palace, there is an indescribable charm, Chongzhen was suddenly a little dizzy. Although Tian Hongyu is old, he is not nonsense, and he is very good at speaking: "This woman is good at singing and singing, and works on poetry and painting, which is an extraordinary immortal product, I dare not take it for private ownership, and I have come to present it to the emperor." ”

At this time, there was news of the fall of the state capital, Chongzhen immediately lost his mood, shook his head and sighed: "This woman is really a beauty, but I have many accidents in the country, and I have not been happy for a day, so I don't have this kind of mood." The country is old, please keep this beauty to entertain the twilight years. ”

Chongzhen must have thought about the consequences, at this critical moment, if he accepts this gift, he will definitely be charged with a good beauty and misleading the country, and how can he convince the soldiers of the bloody battle on the battlefield? At this time, the medicine that Chongzhen urgently needs is not a beauty, but a good news, and if you love the country, don't love the beauty. Chongzhen knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't look at Chen Yuanyuan anymore, only waved his hand to Tian Hongyu, and lowered his head to correct the official document.

Tian Hong met the emperor and refused, so he had to take Chen Yuanyuan home, he did not feel lost, and there may be some surprises that have been lost and recovered. Feeling disappointed is Chen Yuanyuan, good news from the sky, she originally thought that she could really perch on the highest branch of the empire, she didn't sleep all night, and she got up in the morning and dressed up carefully, thinking that any man would not be able to resist such a temptation.

But he didn't expect that Chongzhen was really different enough, and he didn't give himself a chance to show his singing voice, and the few new songs that were originally going to relieve his worries were prepared in vain. Thinking that he would have to accompany Tian Hong to meet this old man all day long, Chen Yuanyuan was really a little sad.

Because Chen Yuanyuan is good at singing, he was incorporated into the Tianfu family band. But she is a girl who loves freedom and does not love vanity, although she wears silk and satin, and lives in a palace and a palace, but she always has to deal with Tian Hongyu's kind of head and tail, which makes her always unhappy, so she is always depressed in her heart.

In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the peasant rebel army first broke through Tongguan, and in an instant, the whole Shaanxi was invincible, and soon hit Beijing with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying. The wealthy and powerful families in Beijing and the doors of the rich and powerful families were all extremely frightened, and everyone was in danger, fearing that once the rebel army captured Beijing, they would not be able to live at ease.

Tian Hongyu was also anxious about this, and the clever Chen Yuanyuan offered him a plan and said: "You'd better make friends with some powerful generals, and you will have something to rely on in the future." ”

Tian Hongyu thought that this plan was very good, and then thought of Wu Sangui, who was in Beijing at this time. At the invitation of Tian Hongyu, Wei Zaode, a university scholar, came to discuss countermeasures, and he also strongly advocated seizing Wu Sangui, who was in power, and suggested that Tian Hongyu invite Wu Sangui's general soldiers to come to Tianfu to watch the music, so as to take the opportunity to close the relationship.

Xu Fu came to this era, he assumed the name Wu Sangui, and served as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

On the shore of the Bohai Sea, near the junction of Hebei and Liaoning provinces, there stands a Xiongguan, which is the famous first pass in the world - Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan is pillow in the north, the sea in the south, the Yan Mountain, the peaks and peaks are numerous, and the sky is high and long. The Great Wall of China soars straight up along the peaks and peaks, like a dragon dancing, disappearing into the depths of the misty sky. It extends eight miles to the south, that is, the starting point of the Great Wall, commonly known as the old dragon's head, stretching out to the sea and drinking thousands of huge waves. The whole city wall of Shanhaiguan is connected with the Great Wall, the back mountain is near the sea, the tiger is standing on the dragon plate, the so-called Lianlian Canghai pillow green mountain, the name of Shanhaiguan, that is, the source of this meaning.

The location of Shanhaiguan is just at the throat of the west end of the Liaoning West Corridor, from Jinzhou in Liaoning to the bottom of the Shanhai Pass, a total of 400 miles long, there is a line of communication between the mountains and the sea, this narrow strip is located in the west of the Liaohe River, so it is called the Liaoning West Corridor. Shanhaiguan is like a big lock, firmly locking the land passage from the northeast into North China, in ancient times when military technology was underdeveloped, as the saying goes, one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open. The risk of Shanhaiguan is well deserved. No wonder the ancients praised it: "The two capitals are incomparably keyed, and the first pass of the Great Wall of China." ”

Since the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, founded Guancheng and set up Shanhaiwei, which was originally named Shanhaiguan, and it became the dividing line between Guanli and Guanwai. According to the direction, the outside of the pass is the place east of the Shanhaiguan, so people are accustomed to call it Kanto.

In the thirteenth year of Ming Chongzhen, there were only eight cities left outside the Ming Dynasty, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, Zhongqian, Zhonghou, and Qiantun. The Ming Dynasty stationed troops here all the year round, built a solid city wall, divided into four gates of east, west, north and south, the military and civilian facilities in the city are very complete, official houses, private houses, archways, temples, shops, warehouses, armories, etc., there is everything. There are more than 7,000 houses in the city, with a population of about 30,000 people.

There are basically four kinds of people who go to Liaodong: one is the soldiers who should be served, including the generals, who are sent to Liaodong to carry out the tasks of preparing for war and defending the army; one is the prisoners who have committed serious crimes and are sentenced to war, that is, those who are sent to Liaodong to serve hard labor as the saying goes; one is the poor peasants from Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, and other places who are forced to live in Liaodong to make a living, and some of them sneak into Liaodong because they have evaded taxes or flee for fear of crime; and one is a merchant who has come here from the interior to do business.

Liaodong was neighbored by ethnic minorities such as the Mongols and Jurchens, and the imperial court allowed the opening of markets such as horse markets in Kaiyuan, Tieling, Fushun, and Kuandian, and exchanged markets with the Han people. The cloth, ironware, tea, and salt produced by the Han people were urgently needed by the ethnic minorities, and all kinds of horses, ginseng, deer antlers, and furs produced by them were all precious and were not produced in the mainland, so they strongly attracted the merchants from the south of the Yangtze River in the Guannai.

When Houjin Khan Nurhachi captured Fushun, he captured 16 merchants from Shandong, Shanxi, Zhuozhou, Hangzhou, Yizhou, Hedong, Hexi and other places. These merchants did not hesitate to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to the small border city of Fushun to trade with the Jurchens. Luckily for them, Nurhachi didn't kill any of them and released them all home.
