Chapter 893: Rich
After night fell, the mountain wind hunting became more and more violent, and there was a sense of cold, and the little eunuch and his party had to find a shelter from the wind, burn a fire behind the mountain rocks to drive away the cold, and barbecue, everyone sat around and chatted but was also very comfortable.
In the mountain col more than ten miles away, 3,000 soldiers were ordered not to burn open fires or make loud noises, which was an order issued by Lu Xing and others after receiving Yuan Wentian's report.
The 10,000-year-old ship that walks carefully, absolutely must not let the Qing army discover the ambush location, although those Qing army spies have left, who can guarantee that they will not be smeared to come in, although there are more than a dozen light and dark sentinels from the mountain pass to here, but it is still prudent.
In the lookout shed halfway up the mountain on the north side of the mountain pass, Chen Suole and a few guards looked at the lights of Qingzhou City and were silent, and the low roar of wild beasts came from the mountains and forests behind them.
Qian Fugui and his brother were patrolling along the street, and many villagers at the city gate were chatting together, and they were ordered to be on standby if there was a war alarm to rush to the city.
Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu have been patrolling the city for a few laps, and now that the war is about to break out, they are ordered to defend the city, and the psychological pressure is not small, so that they are not interested in gambling silver, and they have temporarily forgotten his Wang Erhua.
In the Hengwang Mansion, Zhu Youdi went to comfort Song Luoyu, a female guard under Chang Yu, as a dignified vassal king, which made the heroine from the rivers and lakes a little excited, but after chatting for a while, he suddenly realized that where did this old man come to visit him, he was clearly here to listen to the story, listen to the story of the little eunuch, and keep asking this and that, all of which have been about an hour and have not yet left.
Song Nuxia's temper came up, and she gave an order to expel the guest without giving face, and King Heng smiled and left slightly embarrassed: "The female general is resting, and the king will come to see you again tomorrow morning......"
Looking at your mother's size, Song Luoyu almost blurted out when she was excited!
Outside the city, Dolgon in the Qing army camp was also listening to the story, listening to Kangkler's uncle and nephew tell what they saw and heard along the way, and then pondered for a while, and said: "Maybe the dog eunuch is in Qingzhou City!" ”
"How is it possible, his dignified Dongchang Grand Eunuch would take such a big risk to come to Qingzhou to report the news, no" Duoduo didn't believe it.
Dolgon was also uncertain: "I just said that maybe, who knows how tricky this man is."
"It doesn't matter if it's in Qingzhou City, now it's how to stop the enemy from breaking the city" Duoduo rubbed his head: "Why haven't you come up with a clue for almost a night, so many of us are not as good as that dog eunuch?" ”
Dorgon laughed, "You have the best brain among our people, you can't come up with a good idea, and no one else can do anything."
Duoduo was provoked by him: "If there is really no good way, it is better to kill him first Ming'er, give those reinforcements some color to see the depth by the way, if they know that it is powerful to retreat, even if they do not retreat, we already know its depth, and we will know how many troops can be blocked when attacking the city."
Everyone nodded their heads, this was probably the best way to do it at the moment.
"They've come all the way to chase them, and it's impossible to get beaten and retreat, but it's good to try to get a sense of the truth and the truth," Dolgon raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe it will be defeated in one fell swoop, but it will save trouble!" Geng Zhongming said fiercely, and Duoduo glanced at him: "Maybe people won't accept it."
On the bank of the Beiyang River, more than ten miles northwest of Qingzhou City, the two armies confronted each other several miles away from each other across the river, and they have been facing each other from noon to the present, and there is no lack of mutual provocation to the river to scold and greet their ancestors, and when the fire of scolding starts, they also shoot each other with bows, but they have not crossed the river to the other side.
The headquarters of the Ming army was set up in a small village at the foot of the mountain seven or eight miles away from the river bank, and the villagers had already fled, Li Yan, Zhou Yuji and other generals were in the village at this time, facing a map and looking at it, turning it over and over countless times.
Li Yan has absolute reason to believe that tomorrow will definitely not be peaceful!
If the Qing army does not attack the city, it will go to war against him!
If the Qing army attacked the city, what tactics should they use to cross the river to help, and if the Qing army started a war against him, how should they meet it?
This was the subject of repeated discussions between him and his generals.
Will the Qing army choose to attack the city tomorrow, or do they want to fight?
Li Yan and the others fell into deep thought.
Under the darkness of the night, several troops and horses of the two forces within a radius of dozens of miles from Qingzhou City were either dormant or ready to move, or leisurely or racking their brains.
But if you ask who cares most about the battle situation in Qingzhou at this time, it is definitely not Zhu Youdi, the king of Heng in the city, but Emperor Chongzhen in the majestic imperial city thousands of miles away.
Yes, it's time for Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty to appear again.
The Qing army went south, and Gyeonggi could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and Emperor Chongzhen and his courtiers focused on civil affairs in the past few days, wanting to restore the vitality of Gyeonggi as quickly as possible.
A large number of refugees need to be resettled, as the weather gets hotter, the plague is the top priority, and several provinces in Hebei have just been swept away by the thief army, leaving one mess after another that needs to be cleaned up by the imperial court, and the military disasters in the south continue from time to time, and from time to time a three-liter song that makes people vomit blood is sent, it can be said that Emperor Chongzhen is already in a state of anxiety and is on the verge of collapse every day.
However, even so, what he was most concerned about was where Chang Yu pursued the Tartars and what was the situation of the battle? If there is no war report for a day, Wu Mengming and Chunxiang will be called to the palace for questioning.
Went to Qingzhou Mansion!
This special thing is going to King Heng! Emperor Chongzhen's heart tightened, in the duke, the vassal kings are their own family, to make my family is to humiliate me, and if my family is made, it can only be said that the emperor is incompetent! It was an extremely slap in the face, although Li Zicheng had already slapped him several times with his bow left and right, and the Qing army did not smoke less, but Emperor Chongzhen, who had a blue nose and swollen face, still wanted to have a face, and he must not let them destroy a feudal king again.
In private! The vassal king is rich enough to rival the country, and breaking a royal mansion can reach ten cities!
The so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, if this huge industry is taken away by the Tartars, Zhen Nyima is distressed, Chang Yu, Chang Yu, if Qingzhou City can't be saved, you must get those gold, silver and jewelry of King Heng!
No wonder Emperor Chongzhen thinks so, because the Ming Dynasty is too poor now, and there are too many places to use silver.
But if you say that the imperial court will be poor, it's not right, because in the past two days, Emperor Chongzhen made a fortune instantly, which is also the reason why he has been in pain and happy for the past two days.
The treasury suddenly had tens of millions of silver, and it was definitely an overnight rich.
Where did the money come from, naturally it wasn't because he won the big lottery or something, and it wasn't the little eunuch who got it for him.
Several so-called smuggling and traitorous businessmen in Shanxi who were later named the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were all served by Chang Yu, not to mention the matter of stealing the family and destroying the ancestors, and the cash alone took out twenty or thirty million taels, what is this concept?
In the late Ming Dynasty, the annual tax collection was only four million taels!
Copying the homes of a few profiteers is equivalent to five or six years of work for the imperial court!
Who can not be unhappy and excited!
Because of the big matter, both the officialdom and the army in Shanxi are extremely corrupt, so Chang Yu named Dongchang and Jinyiwei to join forces to do it, and the airborne guards went to assist, but if anyone in the local area dared to do something, cut it first and then play, after more than a month, it was finally done, and the silver was also shipped back.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was the poor and the people were rich, of course, these people were not ordinary people, they were all big businessmen, nobles and wealthy princes and generals, simply put, they were the elite class, and it was precisely a force that Emperor Chongzhen did not dare to move easily.
But as soon as the little eunuch made a move, he directly covered these profiteers with a big hat, treason and collaboration with the enemy!
This crime can't be turned over by any dynasty or generation, not to mention that it is not a mountain of ironclad evidence for framing people, the good guy has been served at once, and any family has made millions of taels of silver, but it is also the hard work of several generations of these families, but it was confiscated by the little eunuch without hesitation.
Emperor Chongzhen, that's called a joy!
With the confidence of the silver, you fucking Li Zicheng and Dolgon of the dog day will all wait for me...... However, when good things come to the door, they are often followed by things that make people have a toothache.
