Chapter 713: The Man I Can't Forget
A contest with Wu Zhong was drenched, extremely happy, Chang Yu touched the wound between his neck, slightly painful but no blood oozing out, and felt a little relieved, Fang San brought a basin of water to scrub the sweat stains with him and asked if he wanted to go back to the room to sleep.
How can a good time be wasted, Chang Yu looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, turned around and walked out of the yamen, turned around on the street, and went to the Octopus Chamber of Commerce in Jiangmi Lane outside the Daming Gate to find Song Siyang.
After staying in Octopus for less than half an hour, a eunuch hurriedly came to report to the emperor to summon him into the palace, Chang Yu thought something big had happened and hurriedly asked the eunuch, the eunuch said that the emperor's expression should not be a big deal, Chang Yu was relieved, thinking that he should be looking for him to chat and relieve his annoyance.
Chang Yu slept until noon in the city, and then fought, shopping, chatting and chatting, and then entered the palace to accompany the emperor to chat, carefree, and a kind of bigwig and Wang Jiayan in the military department were not so idle, and after returning to the house in the morning, they went to the city to supervise and inspect, Chang Yu had an order, from now on, these bigwigs will take turns to go to the city on duty, until the Tartars retreat.
Outside the city, Dolgon eats, drinks, and has fun, but he is also at ease, but he wakes up at noon this day and is furious, because Nikan killed the soldiers and went out of the camp to meet the Ming army, but he was led by the nose to run to the city of Shunyi, dozens of miles away.
Then he went to the barracks to visit the injured Aobai, who was almost beaten into a hornet's nest by several bullets in his body, but fortunately he did not hit the vital part of the flesh shallowly, but under the medical conditions of this era, a musket is far more dangerous than a knife.
Looking at Aobai wrapped in zongzi, Dolgon sometimes sighed and sometimes his eyes changed, and told the doctor to take care of him, but this look almost scared Aobai, this is especially trying to assassinate me, everyone knows that Dolgon regards Hauge as a thorn in his eye, and Aobai is Hauge's most loyal supporter, belonging to the kind that carries the banner and charges, at this time he is seriously injured because he is worried that Dorgon will take the opportunity to kill him.
Dolgon really had this idea, out of the tent and looked at the majestic Ming Imperial Capital in the distance, he thought twice, of course he had to cut off Hauge's wings, but the most important thing at the moment was to lay down the city, if it went well, it would not be too late to clean up Hauge, and if it was blocked, he didn't have to be so anxious.
"Fourteenth brother, the land of Shunyi City, and my battalion of men and horses will not be broken in a day......" Duoduo rushed over, Dolgon looked back at him and reprimanded: "The big war is coming, can't you tell the severity, if this capital breaks the Shunyi City, it will be like the legs of flies and ants and will not attack itself, if the capital can't be defeated, it's not too late to fight him, if you have nothing to do, you will urge those migrant workers, you look at the old twelve...... Where did the old twelve go? ”
"It's not going to hunt, it's going to play with women, Brother Twelve is fine" Dorgon muttered and left, and Dorgon snorted: "Play, play, what are you going to do!" ”
Long live the peak of the mountain, although the sun is blowing the volcanic wind, it is also extremely cool, from the position under a tree on the stone bench sitting upright, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand to look at the Qing army camp in the north for a long time before falling: "I heard that the Qing army camp is in a different place, do you know what happened?" ”
Chang Yu bowed beside him and said: "The minister has heard of it, and guesses that it should be our peripheral people approaching, and the Qing army is out of the camp to intercept it."
Chongzhen raised his eyebrows: "You mean Ma Ke or Tang Tong?" ”
Chang Yu pondered: "Mr. Ma, hmm...... It should be General Tang Bing."
"How can you be sure?" Chongzhen got up and looked due north with his hands together, and Chang Yu smiled bitterly: "The minister is not uncertain, but he just guesses that he has worked with General Tang before, and knows a little about him, and he is a responsible person."
Chongzhen was silent and hummed: "Daming lacks responsible generals now, Tang Tong is good...... Knowing that the enemy is at present, he still desperately comes to help, and his heart is loyal, just like at the beginning of the year, I ordered King Qin, and he was the only one who led the troops and horses to come, so loyal and good generals I will treat him well, I ask you, can the Eight Kingdoms Pillar leave one with him? ”。
Chang Yu pondered for a while: "The merit is not enough, but the loyalty is more than enough" Chongzhen smiled: "At this time, the generals who can be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and me are all treasures, so Wu Sangui's merit is high, but it is ...... Hey, hey".
Then he asked: "The Tartars came back in the afternoon after leaving the camp, did you beat them in your opinion?" What about the war? ”
As for the battle situation, the minister did not dare to assert, because he did not know the geometry of the Tartar troops, and the Tang soldiers had many soldiers and horses, but if the men and horses were quite afraid that the Tang soldiers would suffer some losses, although they were loyal and brave enough, and their soldiers were too rigid, and against the Tartar cavalry who were stronger than themselves, they could not play a conventional way of playing with a single board and a glance, and they would suffer a big loss if they were hard against each other, and they must be cunning to win."
Chongzhen's face sank: "According to what you say, Tang Tong is going to suffer a big loss!" ”
"Not necessarily" Chang Yu smiled slightly: "General Tang once fought Tartars outside the gate with his ministers, and the ministers used soldiers to make a lot of tricks, the so-called black Tang General Soldier who is close to ink is not black at this time, but it is also gray, and if you can't beat it, you can escape......"
Chongzhen couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Everyone likes to boast that they are upright and square, but you say the opposite, you are insidious...... What a pity for the world......"
"The minister also wants to be an upright person, but it doesn't work, to be an upright person these days is not to talk about useless tirades in the court, or to be an honest person who is bullied in the market" Chang Yu smiled bitterly, Chongzhen glanced at him, and the two of them understood each other's thoughts with each other's eyes, and they smiled bitterly when they met.
"Isn't it two days at most before the Tartars are about to do it?" The mountain breeze was blowing, Chongzhen's long hair was flying in the wind, and Chang Yu hummed on the side: "But don't worry, the emperor doesn't even want to hit the head when he breaks his head."
Chongzhen glanced back at him: "If others say that I don't believe it, but you say it, I believe it."
Chang Yu's heart was hot: "Your Majesty, bear with it for a few days, let this gang make a fuss about you first, and in a few days, we will chase him and beat him." Chongzhen smiled and nodded, and said suddenly: "You know that what I hate is not that the Tartars entered the pass to plunder the siege, but something else."
"The minister knows" Chang Yu nodded heavily: "I hate that he entered the customs at this time and let go of the thief!" ”
That's right, Chongzhen clenched his fist and slammed it on the trunk of the tree next to him: "I have been hating for more than ten years, and I am about to ambush the corpse, but I am disturbed by it at this moment, I am almost hated to death!" ”
Chang Yu hurriedly said: "Don't be dry, the emperor is not dry, when the Tartar soldiers retreat, the minister will immediately go south to chase the thief, even if he escapes to Xi'an, the minister will also go to capture him" Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "I know that you have the ability, but I know better the ability of the court at this time, the sniper enemy is powerless, how can I still have the strength to take the initiative to attack, the national strength is not enough, if I really want the thief to flee to Xi'an, there is no respite for two or three years, the court is not able to use troops at all, and even the Yellow River can't cross."
Chang Yu lowered his head and sighed, of course he knew that what he said just now was just to comfort Emperor Chongzhen: "There is still hope at the moment, the three general soldiers are chasing and intercepting in the south or have miraculous feats."
Chongzhen pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "Count on them...... Hehe, if there is a miracle, why has there been no good news in the past few days".
"The Tartar soldiers are besieging the city, and all the information from the outside world cannot be transmitted to the city, please wait a few days for the emperor to have news coming."
Chongzhen snorted: "Information from outside can't come in, aren't the people of Daxing out of contact, aren't you afraid of chaos?" Chang Yu shook his head: "There will be no chaos, the ministers have already made arrangements, and there is a tacit understanding that several general soldiers and ministers outside the city have worked side by side, everything is under control, your majesty, you are waiting for the good news."
"I, what I want to know most is the news of the thief's beheading" Emperor Chongzhen looked south, as far as his eyes could see, the wilderness was boundless on the first line of heaven and earth.
