488. Sigh about the future
The 20,000 Ming soldiers were assembled that night, and after the troops were assigned in place, Tianming set off and moved in the direction of Jinye.
Ye Sizhong and I still took the waterway, leading 4,000 Guanning iron cavalry to bypass the Goryeo Peninsula and go straight to the coastal direction of Jinye, directly into the flank of the Shibata army.
One day on the road, Ye Sizhong and I had a deep talk about the future and ourselves.
"Qilan, when the war is over, do you really want to leave?" Ye Sizhong asked, holding the teacup in his hand, not putting it down, nor drinking it.
"Dude, it's not that I want to leave, but the situation doesn't allow it. Do you think Zhu Yijun will keep me and use me? ”
Silence, long silence.
"Qilan, I know that the emperor has been wrong with Lord Zhang and you, but ...... all these years" Ye Sizhong seemed to want to defend Zhu Yijun.
"If he doesn't go to court all these years, does it mean that his heart has changed?" I pursed my lips and chuckled.
Ye Sizhong was silent again.
"Is there really no room for manoeuvre?" Ye Sizhong finally hoped for some miracle.
"Perhaps, people don't want to believe that things will go to the worst until the last minute, but if they do get to the last step, will it be too late?" I asked again.
Thinking about Zhu Yijun's ferocity before I left last time and after the death of my second uncle, Ye Sizhong also lost the courage to argue, so he could only sigh and blow his head.
"However, I always feel sorry to let someone like you who really has the talent to help the universe leave! For the country, but also for our brothers themselves. Ye Sizhong was heartbroken.
I patted Ye Sizhong on the shoulder and comforted, "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, man. There is a confidant in the sea, and the end of the world is like a neighbor. Everywhere I go, I can't forget you, brother! But ......"
As soon as I changed my words, Ye Sizhong immediately understood that I had something important to say, so he asked, "But how?"
I stared at him and asked in a low voice, "Dude, do you still have immediate family members in Daming?"
Ye Sizhong shook his head: "My parents are dead, and I have no brothers and sisters, so how can I have any immediate family." As for your sister-in-law and nephew, they all live around the camp in Jizhou, and you know all this. ”
I asked again, "Is there anyone who can't let go of it and can't get around it?"
Ye Sizhong smiled: "There are a bunch of good brothers!" It's a pity you're gone. ”
After speaking, he asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking this?" Qilan. ”
I solemnly said to him: "Brother, the Ming Dynasty still has no more than forty or fifty years of life, don't you have any plans?"
"How is that possible!" Ye Sizhong said urgently. After speaking, he glanced left and right, and when he saw that there was no one else, he approached in a low voice and said, "Qilan, don't dare to say this in public!" This matter has a lot to stake, don't be convicted for your words! ”
Then he asked, "Forty or fifty years...... But what did your master say? ”
For so many years, everything that my history textbook "Master" predicted has so far been true, and he can't help but believe in this terrible prophecy.
So he gritted his teeth and thought for a long time, and then asked, "By whose hand?"
I replied lightly: "There is an uprising of the righteous army inside, and there is a strong enemy outside."
Ye Sizhong asked again: "Who will replace Daming?"
I was still calm: "I once told Qi Dudu that the Ming Dynasty has three fires, and those who represent the Ming Dynasty have three waters, and they must be in the north." Therefore, those who represent the Ming Dynasty will be the Qing Dynasty, which is a fixed number and irreversible! ”
"Daqing?" Ye Sizhong pondered for a moment, and was suddenly surprised: "You mean...... Jurchens! ”
I nodded: "It's the Jurchens!"
"However, aren't the Jurchens defended by Li Chengliang?" Ye Sizhong still didn't believe it.
"It is precisely because of Li Chengliang raising the Jurchens that they have a big pattern! Brother, don't you understand that Li Chengliang is the culprit who connived at raising the Jurchens! There was an audible heaviness in my voice.
After all, because of the incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, the sons and daughters of China fell into great suffering in modern times, which is something that every person who has feelings for the country and the nation cannot forget.
"I remember you said that Zhang Taiyue told you before he died, asking you to guard against Li Chengliang, but is it because of this?" Ye Sizhong slowly entered the state.
"Exactly." I added some hot water to his cup and said lightly: "I have been observing Li Chengliang, he has a close friendship with the Jurchen Nurhachi in private, and has been helping Nurhachi attack the other two Jurchens. Now that the Northeast Jurchens have tended to be unified, you won't know it, brother! ”
Ye Sizhong gritted his teeth hard and hammered his thigh: "Hateful!" Hate that! Li Chengliang, his family eats the king's luck, and Zhang Shoufu has been pulled to this day, how can he do such a hurtful thing! ”
I snorted and laughed: "People die for money, birds die for food, Li Chengliang just left two hands for himself to prepare, he definitely didn't expect that raising tigers would cause such an ending!"
"Damn! Hateful! Shameless! Ye Sizhong scolded.
I silently watched him vent for a while, only to see him look at me again: "Qilan, since you already know about this, is there a way to crack it?"
I was silent.
Ye Sizhong asked me again: "You have always been the most scheming, you must have a way, right?"
I looked at Ye Sizhong, suddenly smiled, and still didn't make a sound.
Ye Sizhong suddenly became a little anxious: "Qilan! You can come back from the West thousands of miles just to save the country and the people, how can you let it go now? ”
"Zhang Jiangling has been for the country all his life, if he is alive, he will definitely let you relieve your worries for the country!"
Zi said: A gentleman repays his grievances with virtue. Qilan, you are a righteous man and a gentleman, why not make it a big festival? ”
Ye Sizhong seemed to have a sudden inspiration, and the big hat button was given to me one by one.
I kept laughing and not saying a word, and after a long time he stopped, quietly waiting for me to make a statement.
I stood up and paced two steps slowly: "When I was about to leave, the second uncle saw through the incorrigibility of this Ming Dynasty and supported me to go."
Ye Sizhong was about to argue, but I interrupted him and said, "Let me finish."
Ye Sizhong nodded and didn't speak again.
I said abruptly: "Before leaving, the second uncle gave me a total of three things and asked him to do it for me."
"This first is a private matter, and I have learned about it, so I will not mention it again."
Ye Sizhong snorted.
"This second thing is to let me split Dongying, I did it, until now they are inseparable from the internal fight, I have fulfilled the second uncle's entrustment."
Ye Sizhong hummed again.
"As for this third thing, it is for me to keep an eye on Li Chengliang!" My voice sounded like a thunderbolt in Ye Sizhong's ears.
"In that case, how do you want to accomplish this, Qilan?" Ye Sizhong asked: "Zhang Shoufu is far-sighted, and he must have made this statement with full recognition, but what do you think about Qilan?"
I looked at Ye Sizhong, and slowly read out a few lines of poetry for a while!
"Hold the bow as strong, and use the arrow as the long. Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king.
There is a limit to killing, and the nations have their own borders. If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more? ”
Ye Sizhong frowned and pondered, and suddenly his face changed: "Qilan!" Are you going to ......! ”
I silently looked at the sea outside the window, sighed and said, "Is there a better way for me to stop the thief leader Nurhachi than to prevent future troubles?"
Ye Sizhong slapped the table heavily: "What a thief captures the king first!" Qilan, really bold! But ......"
He was excited for a moment, and suddenly asked: "I heard that there are many heroes among the Jurchens, what if you kill one Nurhachi, and then there is a Nurhalu and Nurhalan?"
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but wonder: "Dude, since thieves are called thieves, it is because they have a thief nature. When the master thief dies, the thief will be scattered. Even if it does not disperse, it will be driven away. What's so hard about it? ”
Ye Sizhong shouted again: "Okay! Brother, do you say that you need to do anything in this matter? When I am a brother, I will never give up! ”
I walked up to him and said softly, "My brother is loyal to the country, and heaven and man can learn from him!" It's just that this matter can't be rushed, and when we finish the war at hand, brother and I should settle this matter and make other plans! ”
"Good!" Ye Sizhong shouted: "Brother, brother, I will toast you with tea instead of wine!" May the events planned by the brothers be successful! In order to ensure that my Ming Kingdom will last forever! ”
I smiled: "How can things in this world last forever?" Isn't that a goblin? ”
Ye Sizhong smiled and said: "A goblin is a goblin, and it is good to be able to continue his life for a hundred years."
I was about to speak, but the nine ghosts knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, twenty nautical miles ahead is Kaneno Beach, and the team is ready!"
Oh! Ready so soon? I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, sure enough, the waterway is much faster, and the people and horses are not tired.
I was about to talk to Ye Sizhong about who commanded the army to enter the army, but I didn't regret coming back from the relief last night, but I walked in the door, and when I saw me looking at him, he shouted: "Qilan, every time you fight, you put me behind, for fear that something will happen to me." But I'm a warrior after all! I'm going to take part in this battle! ”
Ye Sizhong and I glanced at each other and laughed together: "Okay! Yes! Participate, participate! How would you like to participate? ”
I didn't regret this rhetorical question: "That...... Then where you go, I will go, what is not clear about this? ”
Ye Sizhong and I said again: "Okay! All of them! It's all up to you! That's fine."
Nodding without regret: "No problem."
I winked at Ye Sizhong: "In this case, this battle will be commanded by Brother Ye to charge, and I will command the artillery bombardment on the ship!"
Ye Sizhong nodded knowingly and said, "If that's the case, it's fine." That brother will lead people to rush and kill, Qilan, you and don't regret it, you have to support it! ”
I didn't regret listening to our conversation, and I was immediately stunned on the spot: "Isn't this a trick?"
Ye Sizhong and I looked at each other again and smiled, laughed for a while, I looked at the non-regrets, and said softly: "Brother, after this battle, we may not have the opportunity to do our best for Daming in the future." So, go for it if you want! Let's brothers, let's kill him! ”
Unrepentant and surprised: "What does this mean?"
I was speechless and laughed to myself. Ye Sizhong couldn't hold back and let out a long sigh......
