In October, the climate in Qilu is much colder than that in Jiangnan.

But a grain transport team was heading north at this time, and the steward headed by him didn't know why he was transporting grain in such a ghost weather.

As long as he transports the grain into Baoding Mansion and then hands it over to the people of the Fan family, then everything is complete.

As a steward, he doesn't need to know much, does he?

The brigade carried out from south to north, the more they walked, the colder it became, and when they arrived at the Qilu boundary, they could not see a touch of green, and the trees were only left with dry branches, and the earth was dry and grassy, and it seemed to be all yellow when you looked at it.

The plain was dotted with villages of different sizes, but there were many desolate and uninhabited, so he took more people to camp in such villages on the way, and by the way, he also placed the bones he encountered.

It doesn't matter if the coffin is a coffin or not, dig a pit and bury piles of bones in it, and he will accumulate great blessings.

"Iniquity, Tartar is really evil."

This steward is also a decent person in Yangzhou, and his eyes see not only the one-third of an acre of land in Yangzhou, but also a lot of understanding of the situation in the north. So he scolded directly at the Tartars.

It's human nature.

Being in Yangzhou, he never thought that he would have anything to do with the Tartars, and when he saw the white bones, he cursed the Tartars, wouldn't it be a logical thing?

But he would never have thought that his every move was silently watched by others. In the future, when the country changes color, it is his own handy actions along the way, and it is his several curses on the Tartar that change the fate of his whole person.

Life's chances are so magical!

"Have you found out all the grain storage land of the Fan family? Has Fan Yongliang's whereabouts been finalized? ”

"Keep looking. I'm going to stare me to death! ”

Thousands of miles away in the capital, in a small courtyard near a teahouse in the east of the city, Zheng Zhiguan's strong drink came out.

……

It was also at this time that Zheng Sen of Denglai locked himself in the study for a whole day, the door was opened again, and Zheng Sen, who reappeared in front of everyone, seemed to be a different person, full of murderous energy, like a sword out of its sheath!

"I shouldn't have had the slightest doubt about my father's words. can struggle from a small people to today, and my father is really extraordinary. ”

Who would have thought that the battle of the Central Plains, which was in a good form a month ago, would be turned upside down in the blink of an eye?

The official army occupied Luoyang in August and Ruzhou in September, and the situation was very good. Li Yangchun, the governor of the People's Army, surrendered. Then he told the officials and the army, saying that the people's army was false: the old camp of the thieves was in Tang County, and the puppet general Tun Baofeng was gathered in Xiangcheng as an elite. Based on this information, Hong Sun and the others took targeted actions, first breaking through Baofeng, beheading Chen Kexin, the puppet state pastor, and others, and then marching to Tang County to kill all the families of the people's army who were placed there. In mid-September, the main forces of the official army and the people's army fought a fierce battle in Jiaxian, and the people's army was defeated and fled, Xie Junyou, the general of Zuo Guoyi in the former battalion, was captured and killed, and Li Ziyuan himself was almost captured. When the battle report reached Denglai, Zheng Sen simply wanted to forget Zheng Zhilong's order.

This is the rhythm that Li Zicheng is going to finish.

However, no one could have imagined that the morale of the officers and soldiers drove the civilian army to Xiangcheng, but God made a big joke on Daming at this time.

It was at this time that it rained heavily for seven days in a row. The officers and soldiers in the open houses outside the city were miserable, and because of the muddy roads, the grain trucks of the officers and soldiers could not help, and there were major logistical problems. Li Zicheng saw the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and sent the general Liu Zongmin to lead 10,000 cavalry from the small road to the rear of the official army, cutting off the grain route of the official army, and the Ming army was suddenly in chaos.

Hong Sun took Chen Yongfu's Central Plains officers and soldiers to retreat, and he led a large army to retreat to Nanyang, but the Central Plains officers and soldiers did not want to be a substitute for the dead ghost. This retreat can no longer be stopped.

The army went straight to Nanyang City to stabilize its position, and had a big battle with the chasing people's army, wanting to muster up the remaining courage to turn defeat into victory, but it was already beyond its strength. Another big defeat, the 100,000 army lost half of the dead and prisoners, and those who fled with them were scattered, it can be said that the only "pair of belongings" of the Ming Dynasty was lost!

The Battle of Ruzhou, like the Battle of Songjin, was a strategic decisive battle that determined the fate of the Ming Dynasty, in these two battles, the Ming army was not without opportunities, but for various reasons, they all ended up in defeat.

It can only be said that the destiny is not in Daming!

For example, when Zheng Sen heard about the battle of Ruzhou, he had such a feudal belief in his heart.

In the Central Plains, it rained heavily for seven days in the middle of September of the lunar calendar, which is something that has never happened once in a hundred years.

Hong Chengchou fled to Kaifeng in panic, while Sun Chuanting and Gao Jie collected thousands of scattered soldiers to cross the Yellow River to the north and went around to Tongguan through the Yuanqu in western Jin. The chief soldier Bai Guangen also led the remnants of the defeated soldiers to Tongguan.

And Li Zicheng also adhered to the belief of making persistent efforts to personally lead the army to approach Tongguan, the general soldiers Bai Guangen, Chen Yongfu, Niu Chenghu and others surrendered, Sun Chuanting had no soldiers in his hands, and Tongguan was immediately lost. I was also killed at the age of 51. But Chongzhen thought that Sun Chuanting had absconded by fraud and did not give him a gift.

Zheng Sen really wanted to throw himself to the ground for the operation of the Ninety-Five Supreme God. You must know that five days after the news of Sun Chuanting's death reached his hands, Chang'an fell, and Sun's wife Zhang led his two concubines and two daughters into the well......

Eighty days after Lu Xiangsheng's death, his body was buried. After Yang Sichang failed to suppress the thief and died, Lu Xiangsheng's family was bereavement.

Now Sun Chuanting is ending up like this?

Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to completely reduce the 'loyal monarch thought' in Zheng Sen's heart.

The last trace of respect for Emperor Chongzhen in Zheng Sen's heart was about to dissipate.

Loyal ministers and good generals will have this encounter, can Chongzhen'an be undefeated?

It is no wonder that after Lu Xiangsheng died in battle, the world was shaken. In addition to shaking Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle as "the commander of the military department, the governor of the world's Qinwang", I am afraid that what is even more shocking is that Lu Xiangsheng's loyalty and courage ended up like this, right?

This is not to tell the world that loyalty is a dead end; Only by fearing the enemy and avoiding war and preserving strength can there be vitality? Just like that Zuo Liangyu!

In the long run, the civil and military generals who are brave and loyal to the court are all dead, so will there be only the ministers left in this world?

With Chongzhen acting like this, can the world of the Ming Dynasty not die?

Regarding Lu Xiangsheng's matter, Zheng Sen's feelings were not very profound at the beginning, and he was still a half-grown boy who was immersed in reading at that time. But now Sun Chuanting's incident is happening in front of his eyes, and it is vivid.

The pillars of the imperial court and the pillars of the country are like this?

'Witnessing' Emperor Chongzhen's 'mediocrity', that feeling is particularly sad and unforgettable.

Thinking of the news from the south, just when the Hongsun coalition army defeated Li Zicheng and pursued it to the city of Xiangcheng, Zheng Hongkui led Zheng's naval division to defeat the Dutch navy led by Putmans in the sea south of the island.

There is actually no suspense in this battle, at least that's how Zheng Sen sees it.

As far as he knew, the Dutch had only two single-deck warships and one communications ship in the south of the island itself, plus four old lockships, plus five single-deck gun-deck battleships and four gun-deck battleships brought by Putmans, five armed merchant ships, and one sloop communication ship. That's only eleven warships, two communications ships with weak combat effectiveness, and nine auxiliary ships.

This kind of strength is in an absolute disadvantage compared to Zheng Jun.

With twelve Western-style sail warships and hundreds of auxiliary warships, Zheng Jun had an all-round advantage over the Dutch. As long as the Dutch dare to come out, if Zheng Hongkui still can't win, Zheng Sen will despise him.

And in order not to make his nephews despise him, Zheng Hongkui defeated the Dutch cleanly in the sea south of the island.

Although the Zheng Army's naval division was still a little inferior in the duel of the capital ships, the confrontation in a straight line was very contrary to the previous combat thinking of the Zheng naval division. But with the cooperation of more than 100 bird ships and blacktail ships, when a large group of auxiliary fleets divided into a part to seize the upwind direction and release the fireships downwind, the defeat of the Dutch was laid.

In this battle, Zheng Junshui also lost a lot of people, and what did his father do?

At the first time, he sprinkled a lot of silver to appease the hearts of the army, and then rewarded the meritorious soldiers. also asked for credit for his subordinates in a serious way......

What did the one in the Forbidden City think?

Zheng Sen, who had given up some of his burdens, smiled indifferently, he didn't think about it anymore.
