Although the time is still early, but it is not visible to the five fingers, the sky is rolling large pieces of dark clouds, dark clouds in the air gathered, squeezing, rolling, for the land of Shaanxi, this is a long-lost rain, after all, no matter how much spring rain is not too much. What's more, this has been dry for a while, and this rain can be described as a timely rain.

Finally, after a few hours of churning in the dark clouds, there was a rumbling thunder in the dark clouds. This burst of spring thunder tore through the clouds, tore the sky, and also tore the earth, and the lightning was accompanied by gusts of wind, sweeping the land of Guanzhong, sweeping up the dust on the ground, and the wind even wanted to lift the bricks and tiles on the roof.

Even if it's a long-lost timely rain. However, the wind and thunder are so strange that they seem to be ominous.

I don't know how many people looked at the dark clouds in the sky and the fierce wind. The mood always seems a little nervous, and there is a faint worry in the eyebrows, which is not so much worry about the weather as anxiety about the future.

In the past, the news from Kanto has always made people unstable and even panicked, after all, war is not a good thing for ordinary people no matter what.

But in addition to this trepidation, they have a faint expectation. For them, this is also what they expected, after all, they could not bear the slavery of the Manchus and the bullying of tyranny.

This complex mentality is especially evident for the people in Xi'an, who know that once war breaks out, fierce battles will inevitably break out in the city, and many people have left Xi'an because of the fear of war. They hid in the countryside to escape the coming war, but even they knew that in the midst of war, no matter where they hid, they could not escape the damage of war.

But even so, many people are still leaving. After all, it may be safer outside the city than inside the city. At least they hide in the countryside and don't need to worry about being driven to the city by the Qing soldiers one day. defended the city for them, and even became a two-legged sheep and became food for the Qing army.

Do you stay or go? This is a problem. The same is an option.

Walking to the door and rolling up the curtains, after hesitating for a long time, Li Daming looked at the unfathomable night sky and said to Wang Huaxing with emotion.

"Brother, look at this day...... I'm afraid that the situation in this world is the same as this sky, you look at the appearance of this mountain rain coming and the wind is full of buildings, hey, I'm afraid that this lightning and thunder will be difficult. ”

As a businessman, I am undoubtedly sensitive to changes in the current situation. What's more, he was able to get information from his brother-in-law that no one else could know.

"Brother Li, if it is...... You might as well make it easier for your younger brother to go to the Western Regions together, you are a businessman, and your business is indispensable everywhere,"

Wang Huaxing looked at Li Daming with a smile, the two of them had a few people, this Li Daming had never asked him to do something, and now he wanted to take the initiative to help him do something.

Now, leaving may be a good thing for Li Daming. And there will be more business waiting for him there.

"Western Regions ......"

Li Daming often sighed, as if he was lamenting the remoteness there. Then he shook his head and said.

"There is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west...... Besides, it's hard to leave your homeland! ”

After saying this, Li Daming looked at Wang Huaxing and said,

"It's you, you have to be careful, I heard that now Daming is sending troops, and the caravan to Tongguan has stopped, it is estimated that Daming is preparing to use troops in Shaanxi, you are an official...... When the time comes, but there are no eyes for knives and guns, you have to be careful yourself, don't lose your life. ”

Wang Huaxing nodded, as an important minister of the court, he naturally knew how tense the situation was now. Then he glanced outside, and he said to Li Daming with a little drunkenness.

"Since the elder brother is reluctant to go west, the younger brother is not reluctant, but it is better for the elder brother to close the shop these days, like everyone else. Hide outside the city, after all...... The rebels are unreasonable! ”

Then he said,

"Don't lose your life because you are reluctant to have this little family business, whether it is a rebel or a mob, when the time comes, once there is chaos. Those of you who do business are always the first to bear the brunt. ”

"yes, I know."

Li Daming nodded.

"For this family and lose his life, my brother will naturally not do it, and when the time comes, my brother will naturally leave this place, and I have a house outside the city, so I don't have to worry about a place to stay."

For everything, he had already arranged, and even a few days earlier, he had had people transport the cloth from the city to the outside of the city.

Of course, today he also made a business with Cao Ting, and before they were defeated, he would earn a sum of money first.

"Dude, cherish it a lot! The little brother is leaving! ”

After speaking, Wang Huaxing got into the curtain.

Looking at the back of his sworn brother leaving, Da Ming couldn't help but sigh. He knew that the two of them were so apart, and he didn't know when the next time they met.

After that, he looked at Wang Huaxing's back and silently said to himself in his heart.

"Take care."

Other than that, I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything else. After he looked at the sky, he couldn't help but sigh.

On this day, spring thunder, lightning, strong winds, and showers swept the land of Guanzhong overwhelmingly, shaking Xi'an, an important town in the northwest.

Yes, after more than seven years of calm, the world that seems to have been put on the south mountain has been stirred again. A battle that has been prepared for many years is about to begin. Perhaps, this was not the last battle, but everyone knew very well that the Ming Dynasty would never tolerate the Manchu Qing continuing to occupy Shaanxi.

The initiative of the war has always been in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, how to do it, when to do it, all in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and in the face of the Ming army, even if there is no wind and rain in Xi'an City, it is a stormy and doomsday scene.

It's raining!

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the raindrops the size of beans fell violently, as if God had toppled the basin.

This heavy rain is the long-lost rain in the land of Shaanxi, as long as this rain is thorough, then this year must be a good year, and now is the time for the crops to rain.

"Hey, look at the rain ......"

Even though he has been in Xi'an for almost eight years, Xuan Ye has never seen such a heavy rain as today in the spring, not only when it comes urgently, but also with a lot of rain.

"As long as this rain falls for half an hour, it will be able to penetrate the ground, with this rain, the crops in the field will not lack water, this year Shaanxi will definitely be a good harvest, but it is a pity that ......"

With his eyes drooping, Xuan Ye said with some loss.

"This Shaanxi, we can't stay any longer."

I can't stay any longer, everyone knows. Even if you want to pretend to be deaf and dumb, you can't do it.

"Your Majesty, Tongguan, haven't you lost it yet?"

Empress Hesheri looked at the emperor with puzzled eyes.

Five years ago, the 11-year-old Hesheri married the emperor and became the empress of the Qing Dynasty, as the granddaughter of the minister Sony, this marriage allowed Xuanye to get the full support of Sony, paving the way for his pro-government, especially after Ao Bai was assassinated by the Ming people, Sony's support was the main reason for the stability of the Qing dynasty.

However, for the Hesheri clan, Xuan Ye has always been very fond of him, and the relationship between the two is extremely close, and in many cases, only in front of her, he will show his weak side.

"I haven't lost it yet, but sooner or later I will definitely lose it!"

Xuan Ye first sighed, and then said.

"What the Ming army is best at is attacking the city, or digging tunnels, firing artillery and collapsing, or ten thousand cannons firing in unison, and the cannons breaking the city, are all the Ming army's forte, and Tongguan will definitely not be able to defend it."

In this way, not many people will say it in the court, after all, this kind of words that increase the prestige of the enemy and destroy their own morale will only make people grab their braids.

Just like Chongzhen back then, if he had arrived in Nanjing, how could he have the Qing Dynasty today, but how could those ministers let him leave?

"As soon as Tongguan is lost, the Ming army can drive straight into Xi'an and take Xi'an, even if the soldiers use their lives, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold Xi'an, and ......"

After a slight pause, Xuan Ye sighed.

"What if you hold on? But it's just sitting in the dead city, just like Chongzhen back then, if he leaves the capital early and retreats from Tianjin to Nanjing by sea ship from Shandong, what can Li Zicheng do, and in that case, Wu Sangui will not give up Shanhaiguan anyway, even if he gives up Shanhaiguan, let's enter the customs, there is Chongzhen in Jiangnan, and Daming can't be partial to Jiangnan......"

Speaking of the lessons of the Ming Dynasty, Xuan Ye now seems to be able to understand Chongzhen's difficult choice back then, Chongzhen wanted to leave back then, but the ministers did not agree with him to go, or in other words, none of the ministers dared to stand up and take the initiative to take the responsibility of abandoning Beijing, and Chongzhen himself was also indecisive and failed to make a choice in a hurry.

Now, in the face of the same choice, in the face of this more cruel reality, Xuan Ye seems to be able to understand Chongzhen's dilemma back then, and of course he can also understand how difficult it was for his father to make that decision back then.

"Your Majesty, since that's the case......"

Looking at the emperor with a hesitant face, the queen said.

"Then follow the orders of the first emperor and hunt the Western Regions!"

The Qing Dynasty is not an escape!

The emperor is also not, when the first emperor left Beijing, it was "Xi'an", and now the emperor has left Xi'an, which is also the last order of the first emperor.

The queen's words made Xuan Ye look at her, and then smiled.

"It's really a blessing for me to have the queen so smart!"

The reason why Xuan Ye said this was because of the queen's words, which made him dispel all his scruples - the Western Hunt for the Western Regions, that was the last order of the first emperor, he left Xi'an, but only on the orders of the first emperor, as for if others dare to stop it, it will be a great rebellion!

Of course, no one will stand in the way.

For the current Qing Dynasty up and down Xuan Ye is naturally very familiar, he knows that those people are never willing to fight with the Ming army in Xi'an, in fact, since the "West Hunt Xi'an", the Qing Dynasty has one thought - it is better to die than to live.

As long as you can live, it is better than anything else, even if you use troops against Hezhou, use troops against Yarkand, and kill and plunder the people of the color eye, in order to survive, in order to be able to plunder those color women so that the children of the Eight Banners can pass on the ancestry, so that the flag people can live.

Right now...... Let them fight with the Ming army in Xi'an to break the net, Xuan Ye even believed that he was afraid that the net would be broken before the fish died, and even the net was broken by some people on their own initiative.

It's better to leave first while there is a glimmer of life!

Although this decision has been made in his heart, Xuan Ye's heart is still a little reluctant, after all, Xi'an is also the Central Plains!

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?"

Looking at the emperor with an uncertain face, the queen asked softly.

"It took several generations for the Great Qing Kingdom to enter the Central Plains, and I don't know how much it cost to enter the Central Plains, but now that I leave, I'm afraid I will never be able to come back!"

Never back!

Xuan Ye muttered silently in his heart again.

"Once upon a time, when we entered the customs, we tried every means to stay here, in order to stay in the flower world of the Central Plains, shaving our hair and making it easy to wear, I don't know how many Han people we killed, why did we do this back then? It is nothing more than wanting to kill all the backbone of the Han people, then the rest is naturally spineless, even if it is not greedy for life and afraid of death, it is also a person who cherishes life, in this way, our Great Qing Kingdom can sit on the Central Plains, if someone dares to grow bones, then continue to kill, until they all become boneless, and kill until they praise our Great Qing Dynasty anthem, naturally, there is no need to worry about them anymore, this country can sit firmly for my Great Qing Kingdom for generations, but ......"

Xuan Ye smiled bitterly,

"Who would have thought that in less than twenty years, we would be driven out, and we would not be able to stay in the Central Plains, and even the ancestral mausoleum of Shengjing was also picked up by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty......"

When mentioning that Shengjing's ancestral mausoleum was picked up, Xuan Ye's tone could neither see joy nor annoyance, it seemed that all this was normal, even if it was broken bones and ashes, in his opinion, it should be, after all, after killing so many Han people, it is normal for Han people to want revenge, and even for this, Xuan Ye has long been prepared - the reason why he has not been buried until now after the death of his father is to avoid being buried in the ground, and the tomb will be picked up by the Ming army in the future, and then like Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, It was dug up by the Ming army and then sunk into the sea.

"Your Majesty, who would have thought that the Zhu thief would be so tyrannical, when the first emperor entered the customs, he did not damage the mausoleum of his ancestors in the slightest, he is good, he actually dares to Taizu and Taizong's mausoleum, is he not afraid of the shame of the world?"

The queen's annoyed words made Xuan Ye shake his head helplessly and said.

"He didn't do it, didn't it write in the newspaper? Excavated by tomb robbers, with no bones left, he just ploughed the empty tomb to the ground......"

Sneering at this self-deception, Xuan Ye's eyes looked towards the east, and then said to himself.

"Tongguan, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it......"
