Chapter 472: Winner, Prince, Loser, Kou!
After the unanimous agreement was reached, the efficiency and speed of the Displaced People's Army and the Model Army were very fast.
In the evening of the same day, the list of the royal nobles in Beijing and the number of entourages had been released, and some people had already begun to rush to the model army camp overnight.
However, no matter how soft this thing is, many human tragedies are still inevitable......
These wealthy families have been bred in Beijing for more than ten generations, how huge?
But those who can really follow Xu Changqing to retreat are destined to be a minority of the few......
What wives are separated, flesh and blood are separated, and they are quickly staged in Chaoyangmen.
For this, Xu Changqing can only remain silent, there must be a result of all causes, and the loser is destined to suffer the punishment of failure......
These princes and nobles Xu Changqing don't need to receive them in person, Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Guobi and others will naturally help Xu Changqing clean up.
At this time, these masters had already begun to taste the sweetness of being the first to approach Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing mainly met with several old ministers tonight, and the first one was Li Banghua!
Li Banghua was the first batch to be sent out, and when he first received the news, the Wandering Army asked him to leave, and he was still a little incredulous, until the people from the Wandering Army brought a handwritten letter from the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and he reacted and hurriedly left.
Model army, Xu Changqing's main account.
Li Banghua looked at Xu Changqing, who was half-lying on the tiger skin throne in front of him, and was a little speechless for a while.
After a while, he said with difficulty: "Uncle Zhongyi, please accept the courtesy of the old minister!" ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly pretended to struggle and said, "Master Li, you are polite, Changqing can't afford it." only hated that Changqing had not been caught, failed to rescue the emperor, and failed to protect Jingshi City...... I can only, I can only use such a humble method to leave a trace of incense for my Daming......"
As he spoke, Xu Changqing's tears couldn't help but fall.
There's an old saying, "When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent." ”
Sometimes, this kind of thing seems to make sense, but it's a paradox in itself!
Life is too complicated and too anxious, and how many people can really break free from the shackles? You can't ask for all ordinary people to be saints, right?
Capital.
Those who are highly respected do not know how many, and those who are famous all over the world do not know how many.
However, at this time, there are very few people who can still maintain some credibility, and Li Banghua is one of them!
And he's almost the only one who comes up with a positive solution to the problem!
Xu Changqing naturally had to serve this big guy well at this time.
Li Banghua is a person who knows current affairs, and with emotion, he shifted his words to the topic, looked at Xu Changqing's eyes and said: "Loyal and righteous uncle, thief, why, why did you reach such a compromise with my Daming?" ”
Xu Changqing had already prepared and said respectfully: "My lord, is it ...... like this?"
Xu Changqing did not have too many reservations, and carefully described the pros and cons and process of the matter to Li Banghua.
"This!"
Li Banghua's brows couldn't help frowning tightly when he heard this, and his expression couldn't hide the pain.
Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Of course, he understood that Li Banghua must still be fantasizing about whether Xu Changqing could take down Jingshi City and take it back at this time.
But things are already like this, how could Xu Changqing kill himself?
Not to mention that it is impossible to defeat Jingshi City at this time, even if he can defeat it, Xu Changqing will never let himself fall into this quagmire!
To put it bluntly, Emperor Chongzhen's chaotic 'work' over the years, coupled with the continuous natural and man-made disasters, has already exhausted the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!
It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, the northern land of the Ming Dynasty is almost like a wasteland!
If you can resist the enemy, the Tartar does not enter the customs, and you can slowly recover, build, and restore the framework, but at this time, may the Tartars not enter the customs?
Even if there is no accurate news from Liaoxi at this time, Xu Changqing can guess with his ass that the Dolgon brothers are already like hungry wolves!
"Hey......"
After being silent for a while, Li Banghua couldn't help but sigh heavily, facing the sky on his back.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and looked at Xu Changqing with sharp eyes: "Uncle Zhongyi, on the way out of the city just now, the old man saw many of my Ming soldiers transporting some armor and blades to the city, what is going on?" ”
Xu Changqing couldn't help but secretly praise Li Banghua in his heart, and he also had a clearer understanding of his ability, ordinary people only care about fleeing on the way to escape, who has the heart to take care of these details?
But Li Banghua noticed it.
This is actually a flaw deliberately left by Xu Changqing, or it can't be called a flaw, but a more long-term plan.
It was to return the many armors and weapons harvested when they had exterminated Liu Zongmin and Liu Fangliang's elite cavalry before to the Wandering Army.
"Lord Li, this matter is a necessary request for thieves to negotiate, Changqing thought about it again and again, but agreed to their request."
"Huh? Why is that? Don't you know that the thieves will arm more people with these armor weapons to deal with me?! ”
Xu Changqing was respectfully reprimanded on his face, but he was a little funny in his heart.
The weapons of the thieves were given to Xu Changqing in vain, and Xu Changqing really didn't look down on them.
Of course, many of these armors are still good.
But at this time, there are not many blacksmiths accompanying the model army, and the conditions at this time are not enough to repair these armors that have been broken a lot in the battle, rather than wasting these manpower, it is better to give them to Li Zicheng, at least if Li Zicheng does it with the Tartars later, he can have more confidence.
At this time, Daming is no longer what it was back then!
When the Apocalypse was in place, the battle of Quang Ninh was lost, and the Tartars only obtained millions of blades and armor in the treasury of Guangning!
At this time, even if the thieves have defeated the Jingshi, let alone 100,000 pieces, it is already amazing to have 30,000 or 50,000 pieces.
Here, after waiting for a while, Li Banghua didn't follow, and didn't seem to want to continue scolding himself, Xu Changqing explained: "My lord, this matter is indeed Changqing's inconsiderability, but Changqing can't do anything now...... After all, with so many nobles and families coming out of the city, the transportation capacity of the model army at this time is really limited......"
"Hey!"
Li Banghua couldn't help but sigh, and once again looked up to the sky and looked at the mottled tent roof.
How could he not know how powerful Xu Changqing was when he achieved this step at this time?
If Xu Changqing hadn't been maneuvering, I'm afraid that he, Li Banghua, would have been martyred to repay the emperor's kindness.
After a moment of silence, Li Banghua didn't dwell on this matter anymore, and said: "Regarding the body of the emperor, have you discussed with the thieves?" ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly took out the meeting record that had been prepared for a long time, "My lord, everything is in order." Although Changqing is humble, the emperor must be the first priority, and please take a look at it. ”
Li Banghua hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully, and his old face was solemn and relieved at the same time.
He didn't expect that at such a time, Xu Changqing could be so open, and directly show him this kind of core, without the slightest pretentiousness, let alone the slightest intention of inviting credit.
At this time, he finally understood why Xu Chang was able to come to this time when he was young.
With Xu Changqing's courage, planning, and skill, he Li Banghua was beyond his reach for a while.
……
Xu Changqing chatted with Li Banghua for nearly an hour, and then Li Banghua left.
Before leaving, he did not have a polite relationship with Xu Changqing, but said something that made Xu Changqing extremely reassured: "Uncle Zhongyi, you must take good care of your body!" ”
According to his temperament, this is almost agreeing with Xu Changqing, which makes Xu Changqing breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Banghua gradually accepted himself, and began to consider the problem according to the situation and position at this time, in the next step, as long as Li Banghua's line is maintained, coupled with Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Guobi and others waving their flags and shouting, Xu Changqing seems to have more leeway.
Emperor Chongzhen's body will only be officially exchanged tomorrow morning, at this time the communication channel between the two sides has been closed, and a large number of nobles who have not come out are trapped in the Chaoyangmen urn city at this time, Xu Changqing no longer thinks about it, and is preparing to rest, thinking about the retreat plan.
At this time, Zhu Yujiao sneaked into the big tent.
Dong Yu, who was about to come over to serve Xu Changqing to rest, couldn't help but dilute his beautiful eyes.
Xu Changqing reacted immediately, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Princess, you, why did you come here at this time?" ”
Zhu Yujiao was suddenly a little aggrieved, and tears were rolling in her eyes for a while.
At this time, although she came to Xu Changqing's side, she didn't have as much time and opportunities to communicate with Xu Changqing when she was in the palace......
However, Zhu Yujiao soon came back to her senses, and her arrogance returned to her pretty face, and she said coldly: "Uncle Zhongyi, tomorrow, the body of my father will be exchanged, and there are some things in this palace that I have to discuss with Uncle Zhongyi." ”
Dong Yu hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing waved his hand at her, "Bring some hot porridge to the princess." ”
"Yes."
Dong Yu hurriedly left obediently.
Watching her leave, Zhu Yujiao's tears couldn't be stopped any longer, "Xu Changqing, I, I hate you......"
Looking at the extremely aggrieved appearance of the Yiren, Xu Changqing's heart also had some indescribable feelings for a while.
The victor, the prince, the loser!
The defeat of Emperor Chongzhen is not only a shame for him alone, countless people, including the entire nation, will carry the burden for him for a long time to come......
"Er, I'm sorry for you......"
Xu Changqing thought about it for a while, and didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only admit his mistake first.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Zhu Yujiao couldn't control it anymore, and ran to Xu Changqing's side all of a sudden, crying, "What's the use of being sorry? I'm sorry to bring my father back to life? Woowoo woo ......"
After a while, it wasn't until Dong Yu brought the porridge that Zhu Yujiao relieved herself, and she was busy returning to her cold and lofty appearance.
But Dong Yu had already understood a little at this time, and her hairs were a little upside down, and the relationship between this princess and Xu Changqing was definitely not simple......
But how dare she talk more? Busy and well-behaved retreat.
Zhu Yujiao looked at the bowl of porridge that was still steaming, her pretty face slowed down slightly, and then tears were like springs, "I'm sorry, I, I really don't know what to do......"
Saying that, she leaned on Xu Changqing's arms like a kitten, and soon, tears wet the placket on Xu Changqing's chest.
Feeling that this already quite familiar delicate body seemed to have lost a lot, Xu Changqing took her in his arms and comforted her in a low voice: "Jiao'er, don't worry, everything will be fine." The emperor is a Ming monarch, and I, Xu Changqing, can swear to the sky that I will definitely preserve the reputation of the emperor! ”
Zhu Yujiao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing's eyes: "Xu, Xu Lang, you, are you sure......?"
That's when she realized the problem.
Over the years of Huaguo's history, all the last emperors have a bad reputation, and words such as 'Yang', 'mourning', and 'dedication' can easily nail people to the pillar of shame, and they will never turn over.
Even though her eldest brother Zhu Cihong is still there at this time, where can Zhu Yujiao be sure of this?
It must be known that for more than 100 years, Nanjing and Jingshi have already been two systems.
What should she do if the people in Nanjing are in trouble?
"Son, if you don't believe me, I'll swear to you with my life! If I, Xu Changqing, can't do it, I will be pierced by ten thousand arrows......"
"Don't, don't talk nonsense!"
Before Xu Changqing finished speaking, Zhu Yujiao's little hand had already covered Xu Changqing's mouth in horror and force, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Changqing emotionally: "Xu Lang, I believe in you, I believe in you!" Woo, you must treat me well, otherwise, I, I may really not be able to live......"
