Chapter 174: Upstart (Second Update, Asking for Support)
Even Xi'an, thousands of miles away, felt the earthquake, and even buildings collapsed inside and outside the city, but compared to the east of Tongguan, the tremors here are almost nothing to mention.
But even so, it scared Xuan Ye enough, after all, during the earthquake, he fell directly down the hillside.
After the initial panic, with the news of the earthquake in Shandong, it spread from Henan in the east of Tongguan to Xi'an, and for a while, the whole Xi'an was full of cheers.
"God forbid!"
"But no, God bless the Qing Dynasty!"
"Why don't you kill that surnamed Zhu!"
In the past few years, the banner people who have known from various sources that their wives and daughters have become Han slaves and maids, they all attribute this earthquake to God's punishment of the Ming Dynasty emperor, and they even swore that God was preparing to shake the Qinghe River, who knew that God was napping, and the result was a shock.
In this way, it is most common in the big teahouse in Xi'an City, this kind of big teahouse is the habit brought from the capital after the flag people came, although now they can no longer be like in the past, with the silver issued by the imperial court, every day after enough thrushes, yellow birds, etc., to rest their legs, drink tea, and make the birds perform and sing. Now this kind of idler is gone, after all, the Qing Kingdom can no longer afford to raise idlers.
But there are some habits, but they are always inevitable for a while, just like in this teahouse, although I can't see so many idlers, but I always open it. It sells tea, as well as simple sweets and rice. Those who have gone on a business trip, here to discuss things, chatting, a bowl of tea is two cents, come to this place to drink a bowl of tea, eat a bowl of rotten meat noodles. It's kind of comfortable. Of course, the most absurd rumors can always be heard in this teahouse, and those rumors in the past are either related to the Western Regions or the Ming Dynasty.
What kind of woman in the Western Regions has the smell of a fox on her body, what Ming Dynasty came over in a few days, and so on, even if it has been repeatedly proven to be false, there are still people spreading here, just like now, they are even more swearing, and the earthquake has flattened the capital.
"You don't know, I heard the second cousin of my aunt's third brother-in-law say that if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty hadn't been eating wine in the garden at that time, he would have been shocked to death, do you know his Jinluan Palace? I heard that it was also shocked at the time......"
Listening to the words coming from over there, the man who was drinking tea raised his eyebrows slightly, he knew that this was a rumor, and he already knew from the emperor that the loss of Zhongdu was very limited.
"The new houses in the capital of the Ming Dynasty were built extremely strongly, with almost no cracks, and only a few old houses collapsed."
These people always like to spread rumors.
It's strange, they are still willing to believe, even if they know that it is false, they are willing to believe it, and they are willing to spread it, sometimes rumors can always give people some hope, perhaps, for these people, those rumors are their hope.
At that moment, a man sat down in front of him, and when he sat down, the man put his waist knife on the table again. Now in Shaanxi, the banner people must carry weapons when traveling, and if the Han people carry weapons to seek rebellion.
"My brother just came out of the palace?"
The person who came looked at the man in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Hmm,"
He nodded, then said.
"I got you an errand, this time the emperor personally carried the flag, and the coat was also ordered by the emperor himself, tomorrow, you go over and take my letter."
As he spoke, he handed the letter to the man.
"Please rest assured, my little brother will not disgrace you!"
"It's good to know, follow the new master, wait well, and your wealth will be indispensable in the future."
Then he took a sip of his tea and got up to leave.
In the teahouse, this is a normal scene, no one will think it is a big deal, these years, who does not ask for people, who does not want to have a good errand. But the problem is that many times, not everyone can ask for the right person.
This incense should be burned right!
To burn to the most favored people.
Nowadays, who is the most favored in this court, Suo Etu and Nalan Mingzhu...... People can name a string of names, but if the emperor's "friend of cloth" is mentioned, I am afraid that it is Wang Huaxing, his official position is not obvious, he was the entourage of the Western Expeditionary Army, but everyone knows that he is the emperor's friend of cloth, he and the emperor met in the wild, when he came from the Western Regions, the emperor even deliberately played with him for a day.
Why does the emperor trust him so much?
Few people know, but Mingzhu knows very well, after all, it was under his recommendation that Wang Huaxing became acquainted with the emperor, and the emperor's trust in Wang Huaxing also started at that time, because the emperor needed his advice.
This was true in the past, and it is also true now.
Again, Xuan Ye put on civilian clothes and came to Wang Huaxing's mansion, the so-called mansion is not very spacious, but there are only three main rooms and three side rooms, but even so, in this Xi'an city, it is also the emperor's special favor to have such a "big mansion".
When Aguna was pouring tea, Xuan Ye couldn't help but take a look, this woman full of exotic styles, but she only glanced at it, and then said to Wang Huaxing.
"God forbid!"
Compared with the past, Xuan Ye seems to be in a very good mood today.
"It seems that the Ming Dynasty can't pull out of its hands this year, and it has come over, and the news from Henan has come that half of the troops originally stationed in Henan have been transferred to Tancheng and other places, and most of the grain and grass have been transferred there, at least this year, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to go west."
In front of Wang Huaxing, Xuan Ye did not hide the joy in his heart, originally what he was most worried about was that the Ming Dynasty would suddenly come over.
"Hmmm......"
Wang Huaxing nodded slightly, and then said.
"God bless, this earthquake has given us at least half a year, Your Majesty, we have to decide as soon as possible!"
The so-called decision is not anything else, but to move the banner people of Xi'an to the west as much as possible, after all, it is now almost vacated.
"Well, it's almost settled, don't say anything else, at least the minions under it are willing to go over, after all, there are more than 100,000 women from the Western Regions waiting for them, and they must be happy to pass."
Because Wang Huaxing is not a courtier, he can't participate in deciding military affairs, but today Xuan Ye came to his mansion not for anything else, but for another matter.
"Xiru, in the past few years, you have helped me a lot, I came this time, not for anything else, but to give you a gift! I sent you twenty coats from the banner, and now they are all passed on to you. ”
As he spoke, Xuan Ye took a piece of paper from Mingzhu.
"Xiru, you are already a member of the Han Army's Red Banner, and I personally carried the flag, since you are a flag man, why don't you have a few minions? Accept this deed of transfer, and you will be their master, wielding their power of life and death. Whether you have these people as officials or generals below, they are all your minions! ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Wang Huaxing listened to the emperor's words, and couldn't help but be surprised, and he quickly knelt down.
"The slave thanked the emperor!"
After kowtowing to thank him, he took the paper with trembling hands, and was so moved that he didn't know what to say. This generous gift can be said to be hard to buy. Because these clothed banner people, even if they will be in and out of the general in the future, even if they are crowned marquis, they will still be the servants of his king's behavior!
Suddenly, a thought even rose in his heart that he was crushed for the emperor.
After all, there are not many minions in the flag now, even the minions have been promoted to flag people in the past few years, and those minions are still the coats of the past few years......
"The emperor is very kind, and it is difficult to repay the slave even if he is broken bones."
"Get up, I don't want you to be broken, I want you to do your best for me."
Regarding Wang Huaxing's reaction, Xuan Ye was also quite satisfied, twenty coats said that it was not too much, and it was a lot less, and it was just right to give it to him. Listening to the emperor's words, Wang Huaxing kowtowed again, and after getting up, calmed down, he looked at the emperor, he was still excited, and said after a while.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the slave has been wanting to see you for the past few days."
"Oh? But what's the matter? ”
Xuan Ye looked at Wang Huaxing, knowing that he must have something to say, and Mingzhu on the side was also staring at Wang Huaxing, his sworn brother is now more and more trusted by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the slave got a treasure in the Western Regions last time, and I have been thinking about it, and I want to dedicate this treasure to my master."
In the past, Wang Huaxing was a minister, but now that he has been raised the flag, he immediately changed his name to the master, and it seems that he has long been looking forward to all this.
"Baby? What baby? ”
Xuan Ye asked in some surprise, and Mingzhu was also a little surprised, as far as he knew, Wang Huaxing was not a greedy person. What treasure did he get in the Western Regions?
"The emperor waits, the slave will go back to the house to get it."
A moment later, Wang Huaxing took out a scroll from the house, and under the emperor's gaze, he unfolded the scroll, and then said to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
Map?
At first, Xuan Ye, who thought it was a sub-painting, couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that it was just a map, and looked at Wang Huaxing with some puzzlement and said.
"Xiru, what is this?"
Looking at the tadpole text on the map, which he couldn't understand at all, Xuan Ye asked with some puzzlement.
"Your Majesty, do you know how big the Western Regions are to the west?"
Looking at the emperor, Wang Huaxing pointed to the map and said.
"The land to the west of the Western Regions is vast, and the Rakshasa is here......"
Pointing to a location on the map, Wang Huaxing continued.
"The Rakshasa can be described as a powerful country, with hundreds of thousands of armor, and between the Western Regions and the Rakshasa there are Kazakhs and ......"
Pointing to the map, Wang Huaxing took a geography lesson to Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye was slowly attracted to it.
“…… To pay tribute to the south, it is necessary to pass through Persia, and to the south is the ...... of India"
"Xiru, what do you mean ......"
Xuan Ye raised his head and looked at Wang Huaxing, and then said.
"After occupying the Western Regions, we will continue to the west, south, and then ......"
Suddenly, looking at the map, Xuan Ye seemed to understand, understood what Wang Huaxing meant, his hand circled the map, and then said excitedly.
"In this way, the Ming Dynasty can surround me with ...... Qing Dynasty"
