Chapter 226
In February of the 24th year of Lin De, Zhang Jinzhong's Sichuan army was defeated by the Jin State Alange Department in Shaanxi and retreated to Sichuan.
The Dashun army of Gao Zicheng suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the Jin Guohao Duo Department and the Great Qin Zhao Sande Department, and had retreated from Henan to Xiangyang.
At this point, the entire territory of Jingshi, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan has been occupied by the Tartars, and half of the northern rivers and mountains of Daqin have fallen to the enemy.
However, this is not the most terrifying, what makes the Great Qin officials even more frightened is that the Tartar Prince Yu Hao Duo had just cooperated with the general soldiers of Great Qin Zhao to destroy Gao Zicheng's Great Shun Army, and the back foot turned the knife edge and slaughtered the soldiers of Great Qin.
The poor 30,000 horses brought by the poor Zhao general soldiers had just fought a vicious battle with the Dashun army, and they were so tired that they were sleepy and sleepy in the camp tents, how could they have imagined that the Tartars would be treacherous, and they attacked in a big way when they were sleeping at night, and many soldiers were cut off by people while they were still asleep.
There were only 50,000 defenders in the whole territory of Shandong, and 30,000 horses were taken by General Zhao to attack the Dashun army with the Tartars, but overnight, 30,000 soldiers had become the souls of the Tartars.
Although there were still 20,000 defenders in Shandong, they had no fighting spirit. Before the Tartar Hongyi cannons arrived at the city gate, they had already descended from the wind.
Only Jinan Mansion held on for three days under the tenacious persistence of the general soldier Chen Shou, but on the fourth day, it was surrendered by Sun Kewang, the governor of Shandong.
"Although Lao Chen's brain is not very bright, he is a bloody man, he knows the big right and wrong, and he is willing to risk his life to protect his family and land, but he hates that Sun Kewang knows that Lao Chen will not agree to surrender to the Tartars, so he poisoned his wine when he feasted him and poisoned him."
Qin Fei said hatefully: "What do you say that instead of the city being broken and slaughtered by the Tartars, if he alone bears all the infamy and surrenders the city, in order to live the lives of the people in the city, this Sun Kewang is clearly greedy for life and afraid of death, and in order for him to continue to enjoy the high-ranking officials, he sold the people of the whole city to the Tartars as slaves!" โ
Cai Wei was inexplicably sad and indignant in her heart, another loyal and patriotic general did not fall under the sword and gun of the Tartars, but died under the conspiracy of his compatriots, how many times will such a tragedy be staged in this court and this country?
They knew that this bad time was going to Xuzhou, and when they arrived in Jinling, almost the entire territory of Shandong had fallen into the hands of the Tartars, and the Governor Sun Kewang's killing general surrendered so that the Tartars almost never encountered the slightest resistance in Shandong.
At this time, Qin Fei was greeted only by an empty palace and a holy decree in Jinling.
As soon as Empress Dowager Sun heard that the Jin people had torn up the covenant, she called Shandong again, for fear that Jinling would not be able to hold it for long, so she hurriedly packed her gold and silver treasures again, and took Emperor Linde on the sickbed to the southwest across Jiangxi and went straight to Guangxi.
As for the holy decree left to Qin Fei, there was only one sentence on it, ordering him and the new military department Shangshu Shi Daolin to defend Jinling to the death, and not to take a step back.
Qin Fei looked at this edict, and couldn't wait to throw it into the brazier and burn it, but at this time, Empress Sun and Cui Xiang were still suspicious of him everywhere. Not only did he use him, but he also couldn't rest assured of him, and ordered him to guard Jinling, but did not give him a mandate, but handed over all military and political power to Shi Daolin.
Do Empress Sun and Cui Xiang want him to hold Jinling City or do they want him to die here?
Cai Wei knew that he was resentful in his heart, and was afraid that under his anger, the injuries that had not yet healed would recur, so she had to persuade him: "Ah Fei, you didn't even allow me to read more books for my body before, you care about me, don't I care about your body?" Although Shandong is lost, but if the Tartars want to hit the Yangtze River, there is still some time, don't be anxious, let's take our time step by step, the top priority at the moment is to heal your injuries first, only if you are well, you will have the energy to be busy with the defense of Jinling City. โ
Qin Fei listened to her persuasion and recuperated for a few days, but he was not idle in the past few days, first planted some of his men in Jinling City, and sent a wise man with a good art of war under him to Shuzhong to be Zhang Jinzhong's military advisor. As for Quanzhou, there was a good news that Zheng Yihu and Zhang Dingzhong followed his father-in-law's book "Zhuyi Zhi on the Sea" and loaded a ship full of tea and silk to the Dongyang and Nanyang islands, and the profits were as much as five times.
Qin Fei gave them eight night pearls that Cai Wei took out from the big turtle shell that day, a total of 400,000 taels of silver, and after they went to sea for these two trips, they had already earned back two million taels of silver.
Although it is very profitable, it is still far from enough to cope with the current situation. In addition to ordering Zheng Yihu to take out 300,000 taels of silver to strengthen the defense of Quanzhou, Qin Fei did not take a penny of the remaining more than 1 million taels of silver, and handed them all over to Zheng Yihu, and ordered him and Zhang Dingzhong to exchange all the silver for silk, tea, porcelain and other things, and try to go to the Western countries.
Cai Wei naturally had no objection to his arrangement, she counted the account book in her heart, and said with some concern: "The money we have in hand can barely last until the end of April, you don't want the silver obtained by shipping in Quanzhou, but there is another way to make money?" โ
Qin Fei scratched her nose, "I don't have any way to make money, it's just that I plan to rob the rich and help the poor." โ
Cai Wei immediately understood, and said with a smile: "I heard that Empress Dowager Sun does not plan to stay in Guangxi, but wants to run farther and go to Yunnan......"
"Yunnan and Sichuan are two adjacent provinces, and the old witch's pile of gold and silver is just about to hit the edge of Sichuan." Qin Fei said meaningfully: "I have ordered someone to give Zhang Jinzhong a sentence, and specially told him to catch the big and let go of the small." โ
Cai Wei smiled with crooked eyebrows, "It seems that His Royal Highness intends to repay his grievances with virtue, or is he still letting An Chengxu be a rich man?" โ
Although she said this, she knew that Qin Fei's step was actually a hidden killing move. Qin Fei once told her that except for An Chengxu, the head of the black-clothed guard, the rest of the Empress Sun's party is not to worry about, this person is scheming and ruthless, and the Empress Dowager Sun obeys his words, which can almost be said to be the backbone of the Empress Sun's party, if this person is not removed, it will be a big trouble after all.
Qin Fei's hands and feet were spread out at this time, and he was lying on the couch in a big shape, enjoying his lady's massage and rubbing comfortably, and said with half-closed eyes: "I just don't know if when Empress Dowager Sun learns that the 20,000 black-clothed guards failed to protect her gold and silver treasures, but she protects An Chengxu's millions of taels of silver without losing a single ingot, will she be kind and let him continue to be a rich man?" โ
"As long as An Chengxu loses the trust of the Empress Dowager Sun, and their masters and servants are disliked, we can think of getting rid of him, so that he won't have to think about calculating against you all day long." She is still haunted by Qin Fei's design by An Chengxu to appease Gao Zicheng last year, but she was in danger.
Qin Fei was not only very comfortable to be pinched by her, but her heart was warmed by her last words as if she was soaking in hot spring water, and she pulled her into her arms, wanting to do something with her.
Cai Wei was dizzy by him, and panted and said, "You, don't make trouble, I haven't finished giving you a massage yet, and I haven't pressed the meridian points on the last Yangwei vein for you?" โ
It turned out that Qin Fei was given a handful by the Empress Dowager Sun back then, and asked Sun Xuemei to elope him, and took the opportunity to beat him violently, wanting to beat him into a waste person who could no longer reproduce heirs. As a result, he was rescued by Qin Fei's real biological mother, Concubine Yingchuan, and found a miracle doctor to prescribe a prescription for him, so that he could barely keep his first line of roots, but if he wants to go into battle like a normal man, enjoy the joy of husband and wife, and progeneration of future generations, it will take another eight years to carefully recuperate before he can recover.
And although this method of recuperation does not require him to drink the bitter medicine juice every day, but he wants him to take the foot and yin liver meridians, the foot shao yin and kidney meridians, the foot sun bladder meridian, the foot tai yin and spleen meridians, the ren pulse, the du pulse, the chong pulse, the yin dimension, and the yang dimension, a total of nine meridians, every day according to the meridians for half an hour, it is really time-consuming and laborious, and you have to persevere and persevere, if you have not massaged these meridians for more than seven days, then the previous efforts will be wasted, and he โกโก that silver power will be abolished forever.
Therefore, as early as when he was not seriously injured before, he coaxed Cai Wei to massage him every night under the pretext that he had too many things to do every day, and after he was seriously injured, he didn't need to coax him, Cai Wei would take the initiative to pinch his body as soon as the time came.
It can be said that these days, the happiest and most comfortable moment of his day is the hour when Cai Wei pinched his body for him at night, no matter how much troubles and anxieties, tired and tired, after Cai Wei kneaded the nine meridians for him from top to bottom, all of them disappeared, and the body and mind were comfortable and happy.
And this was especially the case tonight, after Cai Wei insisted on pinching the last Yang Wei vein for him, Qin Fei only felt that his body had never been so comfortable, and every pore of his body was as if he had just been soaked in warm water, which was extremely refreshing.
So he was satisfied with his wife and went to meet Zhou Gong, who knew that Zhou Gong did not wait to see him, and drew a whip from his sleeve to drive them away, he saw that Cai Wei was almost rubbed by the whip, so angry that he pursed his lips and called a white dragon from the sky.
He hugged Cai Wei, rode on the back of the dragon on the ground, and after a few laps in the sky, he drove the dragon to swoop down towards Zhou Gong. The whip in Zhou Gong's hand suddenly turned into a dragon slaying knife, Qin Fei saw that the big knife was slashing over, and hurriedly clamped his legs, and a large cloud of samadhi true fire suddenly appeared from the mouth of the white dragon, burning Zhou Gong's old man and his dragon slaying knife into ashes.
He was riding on the white dragon and laughing loudly, very proud, suddenly he was pushed by someone, and fell from the dragon's back at once, he was shocked, and immediately woke up, only to find out what to ride the dragon and breathe fire, it turned out to be just a dream of Nanke.
But as he followed, he found that some things didn't seem to be just Nan Ke's dream, for example, his own little dragon seemed to have really spewed something out, but it wasn't real fire, but ......
