Taikang Hou Zhang Guoji felt that Liu Yongxi was reasonable: "Xiao Chengyi Bo said it very well, we have to guard against this situation, if we encounter a surprise attack by the bandits on the shore, the people and horses are on the boat, and I am afraid that they can only be beaten passively when they arrive, and it will be completely different if they advance by land and water!" And the horse team of the little Yibo can retreat to the ship at any time!"

Empress Zhang felt that Liu Yongxi was telling the truth, after all, the Sincerity Bofu had been the commander of the Caojiang River four times, and the Ming Dynasty could not find a military family that could beat the Sincerity Bofu in this regard.

Since Liu Yongxi said that advancing by land and water is the best plan, there should be no problems, so she casually lowered the car curtain: "Then come according to Xiao Chengyibo's meaning, or that sentence, all the killing and military matters on the way to the south this time will be handled by Xiao Chengyibo cheaply!" ”

Liu Yongxi carefully put on the red tasseled helmet and began to turn the horse's head, and when he left, he also promised Zhang Yan and Queen Zhang in the car loudly: "Please rest assured, Weichen is a broken body, and we must ensure that Niangniang is safe and unscathed!" ”

The curtain was lifted again, and Queen Zhang was very satisfied with the performance of this sincere uncle, and she said to the pretty little palace maid beside her: "The little uncle is really a tiger in the door, and this skill should be the true inheritance of Liu Bozhao, the sincerity of Caojiang!" ”

The little palace maid has been staring at Liu Yongxi's heroic back, and she is still thinking about Liu Yongxi's decision to kill in her heart, and only when Liu Yongxi is far away does she say: "This may be the skill that Wen Chenggong taught to Xiao Chengyi Uncle in his dream, but for such a person, you must not be half-hearted. ”

There are dozens of miles from the capital to Tongzhou, this is originally the land of Gyeonggi, usually the road is full of traffic and pedestrians, there is a grain boat on the Datong River that goes straight to Chaoyangmen, but on this way, in addition to the displaced people who are fleeing, there are only inns, warehouses, mule and horse shops and southern goods stores with closed doors, and the prosperity is not even one-tenth of the usual.

However, along the way, I still bumped into several deserters, although there was no big drama of the right place, but whether it was the slave maid of Liufu or Zhao Zhijie's officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, or the outlaws from Liaodong, they all saw Liu Yongxi's true fierceness, and also let everyone know that the little uncle can kill people and live people, anyway, everyone's little life is in the hands of the little uncle.

Liu Yongxi also obtained some very important information from these deserters Liu Yongxi, that is, Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of thieves are indeed close at hand, although it is not known when they will arrive in Beijing, but according to the information provided by these deserters, the scout light cavalry sent by Li Zicheng may have reached within 100 miles of Beijing.

If it drags on for another day or two, I'm afraid that the gods can't do anything, but fortunately now is the best time to flee south, if it is three or five days earlier, Liu Yongxi's team will definitely be blocked at the first time, and it will never be like now to enter a no-man's land, if it is two or three days late, maybe as soon as he leaves the city, he will collide with Li Zicheng's millions of thieves.

And Fuding, who was at the forefront, also came with good news: "Little uncle! Tongzhou is coming soon! ”

Tongzhou City is a big city, here can be said to be the lifeblood of the capital, every year from the south to transport grain and gold and silver will pass through here and stored in more than a dozen large warehouses near Tongzhou, the heyday of further study is that the grain in these dozen large warehouses alone is enough to have four or five million stones.

Therefore, the imperial court specially set up a governor of Kuraba and dozens of large and small yamen here, but recently the city has become cloudy.

As for the reason, Tongzhou City has now cut off most of the contact with the south, whether it is Caoyun or Tangbao, it has been unable to maintain normal operation, and it has been several days since the northbound Cao ships from Nanjing and Huai'an arrived here at the six docks, and I don't even know what happened on the canal during this time, only sporadic outdated Tangbao reports have arrived.

Although the strongest Liangshan thief Li Qingshan had been pacified in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen and sent to the capital for execution, there were still many groups of bandits on both sides of the canal, and some even openly played the banner of Li Zicheng, but more importantly, the residents, gentry and some officials here have completely lost trust in the imperial court.

Since the drought of millions of dead in the forty-sixth and seventh years of Wanli, Shandong has suffered unprecedented catastrophes again and again, and the imperial court has not done much except for increasing salaries year by year, so at this critical juncture, the imperial court will lose control of Shandong, and the original endless flow of boats and tangbao will only occasionally arrive at Tongzhou Wharf.

The slogan of "Open the city gate, welcome the king, and the king will not pay for the food" has an amazing attraction for ordinary Shengdou people, whether it is Shandong, Beizhili or even many civilians in the capital are eager for the appearance of the king army.

Although Tongzhou City has the governor of Cangchang and more than 20 large and small yamen and countless masters, but the 25,000 troops in the heyday have been completely in the name of the map, although there are still 20,000 people on the roster, but now even 2,000 soldiers can not be found, so the governors, outsiders, and principals who are guarding here are anxious to become ants on a hot pot.

Although the lords have temporarily put together two thousand Minzhuang and are ready to go to the city to help the war at any time, these two thousand Minzhuang also only exist on the roster, and the chief officials at all levels are honest and do not take a penny, so there are at least five hundred Minzhuang people who can really be used, and all the lords who know this have become frightened birds.

And a sudden team on the avenue directly broke the tranquility here, although Liu Yongxi's team of men and horses totaled only more than 200 people, but the old men in the city were already frightened, plus Liu Yongxi also had a small horse team, and it soon became "nearly a thousand thieves forward" and "thousands of thieves".

For a time, the city of Tongzhou has become a mess of porridge, some people advocate going out of the city for a decisive battle to fight to the death, some people suggest that the city should be far away to lure the enemy deeper, and some people suggest that they wait and see for the time being, and the mainstream opinion is that the city should be held out, and there are at least dozens of officials who died in the line of duty.

But these dozens of yamen were in fact directly paralyzed, and no one dared to go out of the city to fight with this branch of thieves.

Fortunately, a man who escaped finally reported that he saw that the banner of this group had nothing to do with the thieves.

"Admiral Jiang Liu!"

"Sincerity Bofu Liu!"

Seeing these two bright flags, everyone knows that it must be related to the famous Cao Jiang Chengyi Bo Liu Kongbo.

It's just that Liu Bowen and Liu Ji are legendary immortals with the same name as Zhuge Liang, but the sincerity of the Bofu and the Donglin Fushe have been fighting for decades, and the reputation of the sincerity Bofu has been attacked by political enemies and is close to being ruined, and everyone naturally does not have much respect for Liu Kongzhao.

What's more, there is only one sincerity Bo Liu Yongxi in Beijing, who is just a half-big doll who has just begun to practice, so the more than 20 yamen in Tongzhou City were resurrected with full blood for the first time and had some careful thoughts.
