Chapter 477: How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son
The north gate of Ningyuan opened, and more than 100 horsemen rushed out.
So that the door could be opened at night, and there was no one else who had this tune to go out of the city but the little eunuch.
Li Yan is a guest, Wu Sangui's hospitality is to invite people to watch how good I am, and then return to the city to serve tea to watch me and the overseer of Dongchang, and even dare to make a face, awesome.
The little eunuch's hospitality is very casual, if you are not familiar with you or don't want to be familiar with you, then be respectful and go through the official procedures, if you treat you as your own, then play together, such as going out to blow the wind together, eating barbecue together!
The little eunuch took Li Yan out of the city to eat barbecue.
Went up the first mountain into the beacon tower, barbecued with the soldiers on duty, and even secretly got some wine over, the order to ban alcohol during the war was given by him, but he took the lead in breaking the ban in order to entertain old friends, and he was shameless to justify himself, just after the war, this is after the war, of course you have to drink to celebrate.
Tu Yuan and Wu Zhong, who acted as attendants, were overjoyed when they heard this, but they quickly became bitter, because the little eunuch said that there was too little wine for them.
Li Yan was born as a literati, and then abandoned literature and martial arts but did not change his literati habits, and his words and deeds were polite gentlemen, which seemed incompatible with those rude military generals.
But he has been in the thief army for several years, what kind of vulgar man and what kind of rude thing have never been seen, these soldiers around Chang Yu are already knowledgeable, as for the little eunuch himself, he really likes it, casual, casual, no shelf, and there is nothing false in treating friends.
Li Yan led 10,000 troops and 6,000 cavalry on this trip, and he led the cavalry to go first for fear of missing the war.
"Did you bring it with you?" The bonfire in the beacon tower crackled, and the little eunuch asked in a low voice, Tu Yuan, Wu Zhong and others were spitting at the defenders of the beacon tower in the stone room next door, boasting about how awesome and majestic they were today, and how many Qing troops they had killed.
"Bring a part, and the rest is in the cheap camp" Li Yan told the truth, no one could have imagined that most of the silver that Chang Yu had abducted and deceived in Taiyuan Pit was not escorted by Dongchang's subordinates, nor was it handed over to Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong's men and horses to escort, but secretly ordered Li Yan to escort it.
Li Yan didn't know why the little eunuch wanted to hand over hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to him for escort, but he felt that this was a kind of trust, and it was also the reason why he liked the little eunuch more and more.
"Do you know what our family is doing with so much silver?" Chang Yu got up, stood at the lookout, looked due north in the distance, and could vaguely see a little fire, which should be the rout of the Qing army fleeing in the mountains to make a fire to keep warm.
"I don't know the lowly position, but the overseer is a man of the Grand Duke, and he is by no means a person who has the private pocket of the Communiqué." Li Yan feels that he has always been very accurate in seeing people, although the little eunuch is often not serious, and even hangs his son, but his eyes have always been upright, and his eyes can't deceive people.
"Do you know where the money came from?" Chang Yu smiled slightly
Li Yan was silent for a while and said: "Everywhere the thief army goes, they will seek out the rich gentry in the city to torture and plunder......"
Chang Yu laughed: "On our side, it's not called torture, it's called donation, of course, sometimes it's forced donation!" ”
"Isn't that any different from a thief?" Li Yan frowned.
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "You have been a thief for several years, and you take it for granted when the thief does it, but why do you feel inappropriate when you come here, isn't it a double standard" said with a slight pause and said: "The thief tortures and plunders, it is murder and arson, and the court has long had no food and no pay for many years of war, but those wealthy squires who are shouting to let the soldiers cut off their heads and bleed to protect their property for them are unwilling to pay a penny or a grain of rice."
Ben Du had no choice but to ask them to force them to donate some money, of course, this persecution was not to put a knife in the neck like the thief army, but to take advantage of the thief army to get them to pay some protection money."
Li Yan sighed and said: "Then shouldn't this silver be used for the treasury, how can the overseer ...... drop?"
Chang Yu smiled: "Didn't you just say that the governor is not a private person in the communiqué, why can't you get it now?"
Li Yan was embarrassed: "No, no......"
"There are too many places for the court to use money, and it is impossible to make ends meet, and the one in the palace often can't be the master, and everywhere he reaches out to ask for money, and the cabinet approves him, and he can't say no, and the governor is afraid that the money will be filled into the treasury, and it will be empty in a blink of an eye, and when he needs money now, he will ask who is going!
Money should be used on the blade, and it is good to leave some in the hand, and you will not worry about people when you use it, you only need to use it on the blade, and our family has a clear conscience! ”
Li Yan was very moved, first, for the little eunuch's righteousness, and secondly, for the little eunuch to tell himself such confidential matters, which was to regard himself as a confidant.
"I heard that you have studied literature before the thief, and you are determined to be a clean official who is the master of the people, but now you still have this plan, if there is still this governor to recommend you to the prince, it is not difficult to get an official and a half-position in the court or in the locality."
Li Yan's face was heavy, and he looked at the dark shadow on the reckless group under the dark night: "Internal and external troubles, the people are not happy, useless is a scholar, a man with a knife, this thousand miles of rivers and mountains are still in the hands of foreign races, I, Li Yan, am an official, my heart is uneven, and I am unwilling to be a family!" After recovering my rivers and mountains, it is not too late to benefit thousands of families for the government! ”
Chang Yu stroked his palm: "Your pattern is so big, Wu Sangui and the others should be ashamed to hit the wall."
Li Yan was stunned: "Why did the overseer say this?" ”。
"Wu Sangui and others are in the pattern of the country, where is the home, where is the country, the home is in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is his country, sandwiched in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is his country, whose world, who does the dragon chair He doesn't care, General Li's pattern is very different, it is the country, there is a country and a home, the Ming is a home, the Ming is here, the home is there!"
Li Yan was shocked, he couldn't imagine that this weak-crowned young man could understand his heart.
Only people of the same kind can understand this mind, and this young overseer has this ambition!
"I have to meet the Overseer, and I am fortunate to have three lives" Li Yan bowed deeply to Chang Yu.
The little eunuch returned the salute: "Like-minded, lucky, lucky!" ”
The two of them ate wine and meat, looked at the north and south of the first mountain, pointed out the rivers and mountains, poured out all their heartfelt words, talked about everything, and forgot that time slipped by in a hurry for a while.
"Dolgon has hundreds of thousands of troops in the south this time, although he only watched the battle today, he was shocked that the Qing army was strong, and the overseer rejected it with a lonely city and tens of thousands of horses, and he was fearless, and he was deeply impressed by his humble position."
Chang Yu looked proud: "Since I left the customs, I have the heart of death, if Dolgon wants to take the next step in the south, he must first kill me and step on the corpse!" ”
Li Yan was dyed by his arrogance, and raised his glass and drank it all: "The last general will follow the overseer, guard the city of this side, refuse the Tartars and the outside of the pass, if you take a step, you should step on my Li Yan's corpse."
When Tu Yuan and the others next door heard this, they were all emotional and stood up.
"Defend this side of the city?" Chang Yu laughed and pointed to the brightly lit Ningyuan Lonely City in the distance: "How can this governor care about this city and a pool" He said and suddenly turned around and pointed to the north: "What this governor wants is to recover the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of my Ming Dynasty!" ”
Li Yan's heart was shocked, and he got up to salute: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son?"
Reclaim the rivers and mountains!
On the top of the first mountain, more than 100 people on the beacon tower roared, piercing the night sky, and the sound spread for more than ten miles.
In Ningyuan City, Wu Sangui, who was still chatting with Tang Tong, raised his eyebrows and stared northward, and said in his heart that Li Yan was a waste, and his head should have been washed inside and out.
The palace battalion and the infantry battalion immediately went into the mountains to rest after the battle, of course, they did not bring horse meat, and all the wounded were transferred to the military camp in the city to be bandaged by the military doctor.
In the cave, Wu Weiying was nibbling on game, listening to Fan Jiaqian and Hu Ling and others spitting about how to encircle and suppress the Qing army, and looking at Ningyuan City like a bean lamp in the dark night.
Late at night, the salary in front of the drum tower has been distributed, the little eunuch and Li Yan returned to the city and learned that Wu Sangui and Tang Tong were visiting the wounded soldiers in the barracks, he also wanted to go, but thinking that his alcohol smell was not good, so he went back to the governor's mansion together, and after placing Li Yan in the side room of the same courtyard, he went back to the house to check the injury of Jia Waixiong in the next room.
