Chapter 374: Fa Chu Belle Ye
"Do you want a newspaper?"
When Chen Yongxi's attention was attracted by the six blue-glowing red cannons, the owner of the tea stall suddenly sent a stack of unknown pieces of paper under his nose.
Chen Yongxi looked down, "What newspaper?" โ
The owner of the tea stall didn't answer, and the Yao guy who accompanied him opened his mouth first: "The newspaper is the paper that reports the truth!" โ
"Report the real paper?" Chen Yongxi thought for a while, "I'll take a look at ......"
"A penny makes money." The tea stall owner smiled.
"I still have to give money...... Chen Yongxi didn't understand for a while, but the guy who accompanied him had already found a newly minted coin, handed it to the boss, and brought the stack of paper that reported the truth to Chen Yongxi - this money is a new money minted by Zhu Cihong authorized by the Salt Merchants Bank, called "Daming Tongbao", weighing one penny and three points, and the materials are quite exquisite, exchanging one or two pieces of silver for a thousand wen.
Chen Yongxi was not polite, took the newspaper, and read it as soon as he unfolded it. It turned out to be something like "public disclosure", "notice", "Di Bao", and there was also a headhead, called "Donglin Zhenbao". It seems that it was printed by the Donglin Party...... Don't know what it says above?
Chen Yongxi then looked down, and below his head were vertical texts, the text was not of general size, but large and small, the big one seemed to be the title, and the small one was the content. Chen Yongxi looked at the title first, and the first headline that caught his eye shocked him, and then looked down, and he immediately couldn't sit still.
"What? Feng Haoge, the regent of the Tartars, became Fachubel and was in charge of excavating the Han tombs in Beizhili, Shanxi and other places...... How could Dolgon do that? โ
Dolgon is too disagreeable, enclosing land, occupying houses, and charging are not enjoyable, and now there is one more mound!
The guys of the Yao family were also taken aback by Chen Yongxi's reaction, and after reacting, they said, "Ji Shan, haven't you heard that the Tartars are going to excavate the tomb of Confucius in Shandong?" That's what this Fat Chubelsch is all about. โ
"This, this, this...... Is there such a thing? "Chen Yongxi heard from Li Zicheng that the Qing army was going to Shandong to dig up the tomb of Confucius. At that time, he didn't believe it, how could he believe such a ridiculous thing when he was a scholar? There are no treasures in Confucius's tomb, what is there to dig up?
And if the Tartar is really dug up, then it can't be the enemy of the world's readers? How could a Tartar be so shrewd, how could he do such a stupid thing?
Besides, what the rogue said, can he believe it in one fell swoop?
But now it is said in "Donglin Zhenbao", and there are still noses and eyes...... It's impossible for the Donglin Party to talk nonsense about this, right?
The guy from the Yao family said: "Ji Shan, Ji Shan, don't worry, Master Chitose has already sent Inspector Shi to defend the tomb of Confucius and his old man...... It's going to be fine. โ
Chen Yongxi glared at the Yao family's fellow men, "Confucius's tomb is protected, who will protect the ancestral tomb of this official?" โ
Yes! The guys of the Yao family then remembered that Chen Yongxi was from Dingxiang County, Sun Prefecture...... And the family is still a big landowner!
Needless to say, the ancestors must be buried in a beautiful way, and the ancestral tombs must be big and magnificent, and they must be the target of the Fa Qiu Belle Lord! I don't know if it's dug up?
The guys of the Yao family saw that Chen Yongxi was anxious, so they had to continue to comfort: "Ji Shan is not in a hurry, Ji Shan is not in a hurry...... There are a lot of big tombs in the Northland, and this Fa Qiu Belle Ye sent them one by one, I don't know when it will arrive at your house! โ
"That's right, that'......s right," Chen Yongxi turned a few steps, "If the imperial court can go on an earlier Northern Expedition, maybe it can be saved!" โ
At this time, the six cannons had been pulled away, and the martial law on the dock had been lifted, so Chen Yongxi hurriedly returned to the merchant ship at Yao Bridge. When Boss Yao finished paying taxes, he urged him to hurry up. He has a lot of situations to report to Zhu Cihong, and this journey can be delayed for a lot of time, if his ancestral tomb is sent by the Fat Qiu Belle Lord because of this, then he will really die and have no face to see his ancestors!
......
"Chitose Lord, although the city of Datong has been trapped for several months, the battle is not fierce, the Tartars have not attacked the city in a big way, and the defenders of Datong have not attacked much. Therefore, the Tartars did not suffer heavy losses, and if they suddenly retreated, there must have been a deceit. And most of this deception is used against the rogue! โ
Chen Yongxi finally arrived in Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and was taken to the Wenhua Palace in the imperial city to meet Zhu Cihong the day after arriving in Nanjing.
After bowing to him, Zhu Cihong gave him a seat, and then began to listen to him report on the situation of the "First Siege of Datong".
When Chen Yongxi said that the Tartars' deception was likely to deal with the rogues, Zhu Cihong's eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked, "What do you think the Tartars will do?" โ
"The minister thought about it carefully, and felt that the Tartars could go to the Monan Grassland to attack Yulin Town."
Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "I have been reported by Jinyi Wei...... The Tartars attacked Yulin Town at the end of March or the beginning of April! The main force of Li Zicheng's army evacuated Tongguan on the third day of April, and on the fifth day of April, the Tartar army led by Duoduo began to attack Tongguan, and Tongguan was broken on the tenth day of the first month!
Chen Yongxi, what do you think Li Zicheng will do next? โ
The news that Zhu Cihong got was lagging behind - his Jinyi Wei relied on the "Ninth Great Imperial Merchant" to set up an intelligence network in Beizhili and Shanxi, but he was unable to penetrate Shaanxi ruled by Li Zicheng.
So he can only get second-hand information through the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty of this era is not a leaky sieve. Therefore, the news from Shaanxi to Zhu Cihong always lags by fifteen to twenty days.
In addition, because the information I get is second-hand, it is not necessarily accurate. Therefore, it is also difficult to speculate on Li Zicheng's movements based on these inaccurate information.
Therefore, Zhu Cihong could only deploy according to the history he mastered - the precious Hongyi copper cannon was transported to Anqing, just to prevent Li Zicheng from going east or Zuo Liangyu being forced to go east by Li Zicheng.
In addition, the Yangtze River Naval Division has also been continuously strengthened in the past few months. In addition to the "997" type of rigorous training, Zhu Cihong also ordered six centipede boats from the Haishabang Shipyard in Liujiagang, Suzhou Prefecture and the Zhengjia Shipyard in Shijing Town, Quanzhou! Alfonso was also commissioned. Lรณpez continued to purchase Western Galen ships.
Two centipede ships have now been built by the shipyard in Liujiagang and delivered to the Yangtze River Naval Division, bringing the total number of centipede ships in the Naval Division to six, each armed with two 12-pounder bronze red cannons produced by the Macau Bugarao Cannon Factory. If you count the 6 12-pounder bronze Hongyi cannons that have been deployed to Anqing, Zhu Cihong's sailors can completely block the Anqing section of the river!
However, it is likely that as many as 18 bronze Hongyi cannons and 6 centipede ships will be used for the defense of the Yangtze River...... Because Li Zicheng is already a rooted coward.
"Returning to the Chitose Lord," Chen Yongxi said, "The minister thought that Li Zicheng would move the capital to Xiangjing, oh, it was Xiangyang Mansion." โ
"And then?" Zhu Cihong asked again.
"And then?" Chen Yongxi understood, "Is the Chitose Lord worried that Li Zicheng will float into the river and go all the way east?" โ
Zhu Cihong nodded.
Chen Yongxi shook his head, "I don't think so." โ
"Why?"
Chen Yongxi said: "Because Li Zicheng has taken root in Xiangjing Mansion, the rogue is no longer a rogue anymore!" โ
"I've heard of ......," Zhu Cihong nodded. Li Yan, the military advisor who presided over the military affairs of Runing, had already reported this matter, "Li Zicheng has opened a little knock!" โ
This is a variable, and most of the time in history has not!
"Chitose-sama!" Chen Yongxi suddenly stood up at this time, and knelt down for Zhu Cihong with a puff, "Now that Shenzhou is in danger of overturning, the world is in danger of falling, and the famous religion is also in danger of extinction...... All Chinese Han people should unite as one to fight against the Tartars, and they must not be half-hearted and harm each other! The minister is brave, and he is willing to be an envoy to the imperial court, and then go to the camp to discuss with Li Zicheng to discuss the Tartars and restore the Central Plains! Please also ask Chitose Ye to work together with Li Zicheng to expel the Tartars from the Central Plains together! โ
