Chapter 731: Troubles and Snowy Traditions
Among the people of the Beijing camp who returned to Beijing in triumph, Sun Chuanting's prisoner car was interspersed.
Although it is said to be a prisoner car, it is still a very comfortable car, with all kinds of cigarettes, tea, snacks, fruits, and the daily diet is the same as that of Vice General Tang, and even more suitable for Sun Chuanting's taste. Although this group of gentlemen in Jingying is well versed in the rules of officialdom, and they also know the truth of being a man and leaving a line to meet each other in the future, and their attitude towards Sun Chuanting is still to be regarded as a supervisor and still treat him as their own commander, but this kind of taste of a prisoner under the rank is difficult for Sun Chuanting to swallow no matter what.
When the brigade of men and horses drove into Beijing from Andingmen, there were officials of the military department and eunuchs of the imperial horse prison to meet this triumphant army outside the city gate, not to mention all kinds of cumbersome and lengthy etiquette, if you list them one by one, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish writing until the fifteenth day of the first month.
Before entering the city, there were already officials from the Jinyi Guard, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple who went out of the city to the barracks to read the holy decree to Sun Chuanting and put him in prison.
It was also the bad luck of Sun Deaf, on the day he was sent to the edict prison, there was an emergency military intelligence from Shaanxi.
After digesting the fruits of the victory in the Battle of Wulichuan, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai began to wave their troops westward and launch a fierce attack on Tongguan. Tongguan, which has long been rumored to be full of soldiers, is originally an empty city, no matter how dangerous it is, it must have enough troops to defend, otherwise, it can only watch Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's army swagger to carry out a long-distance march training.
As the banners of the righteous army continued to appear in important places outside Tongguan, snowflakes of documents and letters flew out of Xi'an City again.
"At present, millions of thieves are swooping down on Tongguan, and the ancient city of Chang'an has the trouble of An Lushan back then!"
"If it weren't for Sun Baigu's rash dispatch of troops, greedy for merit, and throwing 100,000 elites in Henan, the two thieves would not dare to attack Tongguan so fiercely even if they had the heart to swallow the sky!"
"If Sanqin is lost. Sun Chuanting is the first sinner! ”
Everyone plays the role of Zhuge Liang and the embodiment of justice and the image of a judge in their own pen, analyzing in detail how many should and should not have been made by Sun Chuanting in sending troops to Tongguan, how many mistakes have been made, and how many mistakes have been made in using troops to deploy troops. All of them are like Zhuge Liang resurrected, and Sun Wu and Wu Qi are just like this, even a group of natural perverts such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to open the country, are willing to bow down when they see it. However, this group of invincible guys automatically ignored one thing. It was also under their pen that they created monstrous public opinion, forcing Sun Chuanting to take the risk of getting out of Tongguan, and as a result, he jumped into the trap that Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai dug for him.
Shaanxi officials in Beijing surrounded the cabinet and the celebrant with overwhelming articles and saliva that could almost create a standard swimming pool for Sun Chuanting, but these two current core of power in the Ming court are still obscure and pretending to be deaf and dumb.
They're not having a good time either.
Sun Chuanting was defeated by his division. But it's true. However, what he did was completely in accordance with the will of the imperial court, and after discovering that he had been ambushed by the "thieves", he immediately turned around and headed west, preparing to return to Shiguanzhong, which was also handled properly. As for the defeat of the army, it is also a crime of non-war. If you want to deal with him, someone will stand up and ask lukewarmly, "Zuo Liangyu is also defeated." Moreover, it lost strategic places such as Xiangyang, and abandoned Jingzhou, De'an, and Chengtian. The mausoleum shook, such a big sin, but how could you not ask? Just stare at Sun Baigu's mistakes? Don't bully honest people like this! ”
If someone asks that, how should the cabinet leaders respond? Could it be that we really pulled down our cheeks and said, "We can't afford to provoke Zuo Liangyu's scoundrel shit, we can only bully and bully an honest person like Sun Baigu!" "How do you export that? Once such words come out. The institutional prestige of the imperial court is gone!
In fact, the government and the opposition are very clear about who the cabinet and the celebrant and even Emperor Chongzhen are worried about, that is, Li Huayu, the eldest son of Li who is currently in Shandong and Denglai, is immersed in military training and reclamation to comfort the displaced people, and Li Shouhan, the son of his son Li Shouhan, who is currently in the southern flower city.
Before Sun Chuanting was locked up and taken into Beijing, Wang Dehua wrote a letter in his personal name and sent it to Guangzhou by speedboat. There is a vague layer of meaning in the letter. It is planned to use the customs tariffs of each port as collateral to purchase a batch of weapons, armor, materials, grain and grass from the Nanyue Army, which can roughly meet the needs of a new army of 30,000 people. As for the payment for the goods, it is gradually deducted from the customs duties.
However, when the letter had not yet been delivered to the Tianjin wharf, an eight-hundred-mile flying cavalry sent the latest military intelligence documents, "In order to curb the thieves and prevent the spread of thieves, Li Huayu, the acting officer of Shandong Denglai's soldiers, horses, money and grain stationed in Jinan, ordered people to send troops to Henan. At present, it has occupied Zhangde Mansion and controls the area north of the Yellow River in Henan that has not yet been invaded by thieves. ”
Not only Zhangde Mansion, but also Puyang and other places are also occupied by Li Huayu. Since you can't hold it, then this official will guard this Ming territory for you.
The vast plains and fertile soil north of the Yellow River have become the cotton planting areas marked on Li Huayu's map! The Zhangde Mansion in Henan Province in the west, the Bozhou area in Mengcheng in the south, and the Xuzhou Mansion in the south, this vast area has now become the territory of the Li family.
"Fertile fields for thousands of miles, you can grow wheat and cotton, the land of Meng, has always been good at riding, just for me to train the horse team." Sent to Li Shouhan together with Wang Dehua's letter was the somewhat complacent annunciation document of Li Dagongzi.
This letter caused a dispute between father and son about how to view the current Central Plains!
Li Shouhan has not done anything else since this time, and those things that expand the army, production, collect grain, and collect taxes are all handled by special departments, and he only needs to sign and use his seal. The rest is to organize manpower to move.
That's right, it's moving!
Moved his vast administrative and military institutions from Hue to Canton.
However, for such a thing as moving, there are quite a few complaints in the entire Nanyue Army. Needless to say, those who were originally based in Nanzhong have a very low identification point with the Central Plains, and in their hearts, the Central Plains is just a market for Nanzhong products, a source of raw materials and labor. Every year, millions of displaced people and landless peasants go south to reclaim wasteland provide sufficient labor force for Nanzhong. It also keeps adding new power to this huge machine.
"The Central Plains is poor and chaotic, why should the lord make this extra move and move the Yamen to the north?"
"If the Central Plains is quiet, will there be people who will go south to reclaim in the future? Where can we find so many farmers in Nanzhong? ”
"If the lord completely quells the war in the Central Plains, how should we get along with the Ming Dynasty in Nanzhong? Will we continue to bow down, or will they send troops to destroy us? ”
"If the Ming Dynasty is really prosperous. Who should we sell the grain, cloth, porcelain, and ironware produced in Nanzhong? Where to find so much labor? ”
All kinds of statements were collected by the intelligence department in charge of Ye Qi as public opinion dynamics, sorted out and compiled, and appeared on Li Shouhan's desk.
The appearance of such an attitude in the Nanyue army was a great surprise to Li Shouhan. But when you think about it, it makes sense.
In the Nanyue Army, the composition of personnel is probably like this, the first group of people who followed Li Shouhan all the way from Hejing are the descendants of the Ming Army Guards. This part of the people is now the core and the top of the power. In addition, there are naturalized people of various ethnic groups like Wang Bao, such as Miao, Ka, Wa, Jingpo, Burmese, Jing and so on. Then there are the landless peasants who went to Nanzhong from Liangguang, Yunnan, Fujian and other places to reclaim wasteland to survive.
After more than ten years of continuous integration, the concept of these different ethnic groups has gradually faded away, replacing them with the attitude that they are all Nanzhong. But. In the attitude towards the Central Plains and the Ming Dynasty. The existence of various ethnic groups determines their consciousness and attitude.
After following Li Shouhan north to King Qin for the first time, the descendants of those immigrants, whether they were the second or several generations, were disappointed in the Ming Dynasty. In their impression, the Ming Dynasty in the mouths of their fathers and ancestors, not to mention the splendid gold everywhere, should at least be a peaceful and prosperous scene. But what they saw was a city full of garbage. The post-apocalyptic scene of starvation, famine everywhere, and war everywhere, how can this make them identify with the Ming Dynasty?
This is true of the descendants of these immigrants, who have just been working in Nanzhong for a few years. There are many fields under his name, new houses have been built, the barn is full of grain, and the oxen are tied to the cattle pen, which is considered to be worry-free, but those who have some material foundation have a different idea.
"At present, life is prosperous in Nanzhong, but the brothers, parents and relatives at home are still living in embarrassment, if only they could be taken out to work together to build a large piece of land."
is also of Han and Miao descent, because of their different environments, their attitude towards the Central Plains is clear.
As for the various naturalized ethnic groups represented by Wang Bao and others, there is no special attitude, and their current days are all given by the lord, as long as Li Shouhan says it, these sincere men will not hesitate to do it, even if there is a flood and fire in front of them.
The internal disagreement with the Ming court was so dissatisfied, and it was natural that Li Shouhan was very dissatisfied with Li Shouhan's move to build Fujian and Liangguang into the same level as Nanzhong as soon as possible. As a result, Li Peilin, who is in charge of government affairs, is so busy jumping up and down, fighting fires everywhere and appeasing him, using both soft and hard measures.
However, Li Shouhan himself could not have imagined that the son he had painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years would actually go against his own opinions, treating the Central Plains as a colony in Nanzhong, and the Ming Dynasty as a puppet regime to manage this colony for Nanzhong!
What's even worse is that, like Li Huayu, there are not a few people who hold similar views, and many people discuss it in private, and they all think that the current situation is quite good. Let's support the Ming court with food and pay equipment, so that the court has the strength to deal with the thieves of all departments. The more wars continue in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the more our goods will be able to sell at a good price. Whether it is the "thief" Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong, they all want to use real money and population to buy our goods.
In this way, the Ming court, the thieves, and the Jiannu in the north, none of the three of them can eat anyone, and if anyone has signs of eating each other, we will help the other two to deal with him and weaken his strength. In this way, we can ensure that our interests are not lost.
Faced with all kinds of ideas, Li Shouhan, who was disturbed, called Li Peilin and Li Peiting to Yuexiu Building on the occasion of holding a full moon for the children born to the ninth and tenth women, ready to listen to the opinions of the two brothers.
These nine or eleven ladies are the two noble women sent by Uszang that day, and their names are Yangjin Zhuoma and Dawa Yangzong. At first, Li Shouhan was not so cold to the two women from the snowy plateau. It's just that they can learn etiquette in the back house and adapt to the life of the palace as soon as possible.
Who knows, this girl from a noble family may be slow to learn others, learn etiquette, and learn to be higher than her original way of life. More extravagant and corrupt habits of life come, but very quickly. Not long after, at the dinner party at his home in Guangzhou, Li Shouhan heard the complaint of the housekeeper's mother-in-law, that Huo Kang's Yangjin Zhuoma, bathed with rose petals once a day, what fumigation, essential oils, etc., there are a lot of Dawa Yangzong, who has fair skin and long body in Pagbala's family. Yang is better, but there are also a lot of all kinds of rouge pollen jewelry hairpin rings and the like.
That night, it happened that Li Shouhan was in a good mood, and even ordered the housekeeper's mother-in-law to arrange for nine or eleven ladies to sleep. As a result, after a try, Li Shouhan was greatly fresh. These two people are still women with lily potential! No wonder the plump Yang Jin looked at Zhuoma's eyes that day. It's all a look of longing to swallow her with a mouthful of water!
However, Li Shouhan didn't want to be in his back house. Being trained by yourself to come out of a woman who likes her own woman, in that case, isn't it equivalent to cultivating a potential love rival for herself? Li Shouhan didn't want the golden crown on his head to be given some color by this concubine of his own.
With his permission, the two women, in order to entertain him, made some fake phoenixes between the bed, which he liked to see. However, if anyone dares to act on his behalf, Li Shouhan will inevitably learn from Yang Sen and evaporate that woman from the world.
(No way, affected by the times.) Pig's feet can't be a feminist either. Now that he can allow women to come out to work, it is already a big shame in the world. As for how Janssen treats him wearing an environmental protection label, interested students can ask Du Niang. )
After a period of careful cultivation and diligent farming, Yangjin Zhuoma and Dawa Yangzong were also a fertile piece of land, and soon after Li Shouhan sowed the seeds diligently, their stomachs moved.
If it weren't for the little episode that happened in the early delivery season, Li Shouhan would have happily enjoyed the joy of being a father again.
Yang Jin Zhuoma, who has a big belly, actually asked to let her go to the wilderness to give birth alone when she was about to give birth, and this woman probably adhered to the spirit of not surprising death, not only to give birth alone in the wild, but also inadvertently revealed that she had to give birth on her stomach!
This time, it suddenly exploded in the entire Yuexiu Lou Palace.
As the royal midwife who served the wives of the Li family, after hearing this, Mrs. He was so frightened that her lips turned white, and she just chanted with her hands folded: "Nan Wu saves the suffering and saves the Guanyin Bodhisattva!" Sin! Sin! How can a woman be allowed to give birth in the wild? Do you want to live on your stomach? Isn't this about the lives of adults and children?! Even if you want to go by yourself, my wife doesn't dare to agree! ”
After several questioning, Dawa Yangzong explained to Yangjin Zhuoma that this was the traditional way of giving birth to Wusizang, because they believed that it was an extremely filthy and bloody thing for a woman to give birth, so she could not give birth in her residence or tent, which would bring bad luck to the family. No matter what the weather is, even if it is windy, rainy and snowy, women have to go outside to give birth when they are about to give birth, and they have to take a lying position to give birth.
"Damn, do bald donkeys all jump out of the cracks in the stones?" When he heard that the back house actually had such a ridiculous idea, Li Shouhan's first reaction was to scold the master of the sea and the great erudite treasure and wisdom, you two bastards, isn't the so-called reincarnation process born from your mother? Treat mothers like this?
It is the Buddha who was eaten by the peacock in the snow mountain, and got out of the peacock after the peacock cracked a mouthful, and the Buddha came out to kill the peacock, at this time the ancient Buddha burned the lamp and said that you came out of its belly as if it was your biological mother, and also sealed the peacock as the mother of the Buddha Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva.
"Even the Buddha has never been like this, and you dare to do this!"
Li Shouhan roared, "Go!" Tell the Ninth Lady and the Tenth Lady that in our Lao Tzu's one-acre and three-point land, you have to follow our Lao Tzu's rules! If she wants to go to the wilderness to give birth on her stomach, then after giving birth to a lonely child, she writes a letter of resignation, asking her to return to her Uszang, find someone in the bullshit snowy Buddha country, and give birth in the wilderness! ”
Li Shouhan said to such a point, how dare Yang Jin Zhuoma and Dawa Yang Zong? At the moment, I honestly give birth to a child and be confined.
For this little turmoil, how can Li Peilin and Li Peiting, two brothers, not know?
"If someone says that Wusizang is a snowy Buddha country, a pure land on earth, let them give birth to children in the traditional way of Wusizang, no matter what the weather, childbirth must be outdoors or outside the tent, and the wind and snow cannot give birth in the tent!"
The two brothers jokingly learned that Li Shouhan was furious about this matter, jumped out of the car, and looked at the Yuexiu Mansion in front of him.
Under the Zhang Luo of the Seventh Lady Ao Lei Yilan, the entire Yuexiu Lou Mansion was full of joy. (To be continued.) )
