Chapter 966: The Mind Is Alive
At noon, the scorching sun was at the head, and the Ming army was not afraid of the heat and pulled out the camp to the north, but fortunately, the trees along the way could escape the heat, and there were big rivers to drink and wash, so they walked unhurriedly.
Li Yan's subordinate generals Qin Songwang and Jin Wuwei commanded Dong Haicheng to hang the vanguard, each leading 1,000 soldiers and horses, one step ahead of the main force, and then the Qing army, and the rear army for 20 miles to monitor.
Huang Degong tossed and tossed for a night, he was always unable to lift his spirits, wiped his sweat bare-chested, kept scolding and scolding in his mouth, and finally couldn't bear to get into the carriage of the little eunuch on the grounds of discussing important matters, and then fell asleep without saying a few words.
Chang Yu had no choice but to send Xiaodao Tong to Li Yan's car, and then he got off the horse and chatted with Zhou Yuji side by side.
As for the Tianjin Weishi, it was already evening, and Xiang Minxin had been waiting outside the city for a long time: "Humble welcome to the factory governor, please enter the city."
Chang Yu looked around, with a faint expression: "Are you all gone?" ”
"It's been three days since I left" Xiang Minxin was slightly nervous.
Chang Yu nodded: "The military affairs are busy, and the governor will not enter the city, by the way, the governor heard that two distinguished guests came to Tianjin Wei a few days ago, where are they at this time?" ”
"I also went with you" Xiang Minxin hurriedly said, Chang Yu couldn't help laughing and scolded: "Blind tossing" said that he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xiang Minxin again: "Lord Factory Governor, I have prepared some food for you to eat on the road" As he spoke, he turned around and took a lunch box from a personal soldier.
Chang Yu was curious, and Chen Ruxin, who was next to him, took the lunch box and opened it, it was red, and it turned out to be more than ten gold ingots, and he couldn't help but be angry: "You dare to insult me!" ”
"Don't dare to be lowly, lowly to be low, and then go to make up for ......" Xiang Minxin was shocked, thinking that the little eunuch was too little.
"Presumptuous" Chang Yu's face darkened, and he pointed at Xiang Minxin and scolded: "The previous empty salary matter should not be pursued for probation after you saddle the horse, but I don't think that the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, do you have to be supervised by this governor!" ”
"The factory governor is angry" Xiang Min was so frightened that he knelt down: "Listen to the Zunjiao and have no more disorderly behavior!" ”
"Corruption and bribery are violations of law and discipline, and bribery is also a serious crime. Chang Yu scolded sharply, and Xiang Minxin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Lord Overseer, Lord Xiang has good intentions...... Lift up your noble hand and let him go! Seeing this, Xiang Minxin's relatives knelt down and pleaded for him.
Chang Yu snorted coldly, but he also knew that the current situation could not be too much, and it was easy to provoke rebellion, so he said: "This governor will give you another chance, if you commit it again, I will let you know the methods of Dongchang!" ”
Xiang Minxin thanked Dai De and said yes again and again, Chang Yu asked you to get up and speak, and ordered him to atone for his crimes: take back all the baggage thrown away by the Qing army and save it, and return it to the refugees if appropriate!
Xiang Minxin was overjoyed, if you have a job, it means that you have retained your military position, and you can only show that you are useful, and this product really listened to the little eunuch's warning, and there was no corruption in the second half of his life, and he became a model in the army for being known for his integrity, which is all an afterthought.
Chang Yu asked to take some things afterwards and then led his personal guards to leave Tianjin Wei to meet Li Yan, and on the way, Chen Suole looked a little puzzled: "Factory father, if you give a gift to the emperor, is it considered a bribe?" ”
"No, that's called tribute!" Chang Yu glanced at him and quipped: "What's the matter, do you plan to give the emperor a gift to become a big official?" ”
"You can pull it, the emperor can't look down on the lowly family, and it's better to give it to the emperor than to give it to the factory governor, so that the lowly position will be promoted faster."
"Hey, just say this in front of your family, outsiders can't talk nonsense, it's easy to give the factory supervisor a reality" I have to say that Qiao Shan people are always steady. Chen Suole hurriedly nodded: "Outsiders can't say it."
"Factory father, what is the difference between giving gifts and bribes? For example, if you give you a week or something during the New Year's holidays, isn't it also a bribe? Chen Ruxin frowned beside him.
Chang Yu replied very directly and frankly: "There are two ways to distinguish, first, the value of the gift is too heavy, there is utilitarian and interest, this is bribery, and second, Dongchang says that it is a bribe, and it is a gift that is a gift."
All the guards understood, Qiao Sanxiu smiled and wanted to speak, but didn't say anything.
Li Yan's main force rested on the bank of the Grand Canal in Weibei, Tianjin, while the grain and grass were still crossing the river in the rear, Qin Songwang sent people to report in front, and the Tartars camped a few miles northwest of Wuqing County.
Wuqing County was razed to the ground by the Qing army when it moved south, perhaps because the weak-hearted Dolgon did not camp here.
There is an unnamed village on the riverside that is already deserted, Li Yan rested outside the village, and had nothing to do to watch the generals gambling on silver, Chang Yu arrived when it was dusk, and after asking about the situation of the Qing army in front, he ordered to make a fire and make rice.
"Will the Tartars be on their way overnight tonight?" After waking up, Huang Degong, who was full of energy, was playing with Tu Yuan and a group of generals, and asked casually.
Chang Yu took out a few taels of silver from his arms and threw them in the middle: "If people don't leave, do you want to toss at night?" As he spoke, he picked up the dice in the bowl and was about to hold it.
"I don't understand what the overseer said" Huang Degong smiled and grabbed Chang Yu's hand: "Let's play a big start of ten taels, and the overseer will add a little more."
Damn, local tyrant! Chang Yu scolded and picked up his silver: "Don't play."
"No, the Overseer is slamming the door like this now," Huang Degong and the others shouted.
Hey, Chang Yu sighed: "The family has a big business, and it costs money everywhere, and now the landlord's family doesn't have much surplus food, how can it be like you one by one's military exploits and wealth" said and picked up the little Taoist boy and walked towards the river: "The little P child doesn't learn well, so everything will follow the fun."
"Brother Daguan, isn't it good to gamble on silver, my master said that you can learn everything when you walk the rivers and lakes, and you don't need to press yourself."
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Chunfeng, you will be the heir of the orthodox mantle of Taoism in the future, and you can't be like your master."
"What's wrong with my master?" Xiao Daotong stared at the big eyes and was very curious, Chang Yu looked back, Li Muxian was roaring over there: "He's just a ...... Selling dog meat in sheepskins".
"The master said that the dog meat is fragrant...... And the best thing to eat is the yellow dog, and the master said that the black wolf nourishes two wolves, and the wolf meat is also fragrant......" Xiao Daotong said and licked his mouth, and he flowed a lot, Chang Yu sighed and shook his head, very worried about Xiao Daotong's future, and felt that the yellow dog in Li Muxian's mouth had something to do with Huang Degong.
When twilight fell, the Ming army camp was brightly lit, the soldiers were eating, drinking or having fun, Chang Yu and Xiaodao Tong were opening a small stove by the river, and the fresh river fish were caught and roasted, and the fragrance was full of Li Yan and Wu Weiying, and then more and more were introduced.
The bonfire of the Qing army camp in the northwest of Wuqing County was really busy making fires and cooking even the sky, and in the handsome tent of Dolgon on the riverside, the generals gathered here, and they were discussing a major matter.
Yes, Dorgon's mind is alive again, and he is not alone.
The Ming court's troops in the Gyeonggi area were empty, so when the Qing army entered the customs, the Ming court hurriedly transferred troops to the king of Qin, and some of the little eunuchs had to give up Li Zicheng, who had reached the mouth, and hurriedly went north to enter Beijing, and then mobilized a large army to pursue the Qing army south, which can be said to have transferred all the soldiers and horses in the capital.
Right now, the little eunuch's seventy or eighty thousand infantry cavalry are all in the Tianjin Weidi Boundary, does that mean that the capital is unguarded at this time!
Take advantage of the weakness to attack the Ming Imperial Capital again?
