Chapter 20 Happy to meet He Tengjiao
After the Red Incident, Li Shuangxi's status in the Shi family was recognized by all the family members and maids.
Miss Shi has also changed, from a small family of jasper to a virtuous and virtuous image. Shi Kefa regarded this son-in-law as half a son, and began to take him constantly to maneuver among many civil and military officials, in order to seek an official and a half position in the future. And Xia Mei became Miss Shi's personal maid because she 'made great contributions'. However, from then on, she ignored Li Shuangxi as if she didn't know him, no matter how Li Shuangxi found a chance to talk to her, she acted like she hadn't seen him.
What gave Li Shuangxi the most headache was that the task of Lianming to resist the Qing Dynasty given to him by King Chuang had not made progress. Because of Shi Kefa's strategy of 'uniting and capturing the Pingkou', the entire Southern Ming Dynasty hoped to borrow the power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty first, first exterminate the peasant army of Liukou Li Zicheng, and then seek follow-up plans. Coupled with the Southern Ming Dynasty, the party struggle between the DPRK and China continued, and the contradiction between Shi Kefa's Donglin Party and the eunuch party led by Ma Shiying deepened day by day, to the point of being out of control.
One day after January, the sky was clear, and Miss Shi took the maid Xia Chun to sit in the gazebo in the garden.
Early in the morning, Master Shi took Xianggong out to meet his colleagues, and when she went out, she saw the extremely reluctant expression on Xianggong's face.
"Xia Chun, Xia Mei went out to buy things and hasn't come back yet?" Now that there is no Xia Mei, Miss Shi is starting to get used to it.
"Miss, don't mention that Xia Mei. Actually, there are some things I don't know if I should say or not. "Now only when Xia Mei is not there, Miss Shi will think of her, she has long been holding back to sue Xia Mei.
"What's the matter? said quickly, "Xia Chun is a child companion who grew up with Miss Shi since she was a child, but she has become a master and servant when she grows up, but Miss Shi still regards her as her confidant, and if she has any confidential words, she can also say it."
"I always thought that Xia Mei and my uncle had known each other before, but now they pretend not to know each other."
"Xia Chun," Xia Chun said, right in Miss Shi's thoughts. In fact, she also found that Xianggong seemed to want to talk to Xia Mei all the time, but Xia Mei ignored him, and she began to have some suspicions.
"Miss, don't you think it's a coincidence that on the day you and your uncle got married, she was able to appear in your new house?"
'Bang' The thing in Miss Shi's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, and this time, it hit her 'death hole'.
"Xia Chun, don't talk nonsense about things without evidence." Xia Chun stopped talking, but she knew in her heart that her goal had been achieved.
At this time, Li Shuangxi was sitting on pins and needles, and the person Shi Kefa brought him to see today was Nanning Hou Zuo Liangyu. Zuo Liangyu is a supporter of the Donglin Party, with 800,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, and he was once a pair of enemies with Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and the two will be killed as long as they meet. Fortunately, Zuo Liangyu at this time was already old and dizzy, and he couldn't recognize himself. What's more, his old rival Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, has 'died' in Jiugong Mountain, and the Dashun Army is no longer a problem for him.
Shi Kefa's arrival this time was to hope that Zuo Liangyu could go out of the mountain to the 'Qingjun side' and help the Donglin Party eliminate Ma Shiying's influence in the court. At this time, Zuo Liangyu didn't seem to be too interested.
"Master Shi, although I have 800,000 heavy troops, I am now old, not to mention that if I rush to send troops, it seems that there are some unknown teachers."
"General Zuo, Ma Shiying and a group of eunuchs in the court thought that in the name of the emperor's draft, they fornicated the palace, and also ordered the whole country to pay tribute to the emperor and use toads to make aphrodisiacs, which caused the people to complain. They have already given the emperor a nickname, called 'Emperor Toad.' In the past, my Ming Dynasty has just gained a firm foothold, and I am not in danger of losing it again. What's more, now the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty are eyeing my Daming, but Li Chuang's Dashun army doesn't know what to do, I'm afraid, they are all waiting to see our Daming's jokes. ”
"Two adults, the last general actually has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." Before Zuo Liangyu could answer, a person stood next to him, about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thin face, a long beard on his forehead, a thin and tall figure, and a majestic style.
"General He, please speak." Zuo Liangyu didn't know how to answer Shi Kefa, just in time to change the topic.
"Now that the Qing soldiers have entered the customs, they have the intention of spying on my great Han and great rivers and mountains, I don't think we should expect them to exterminate the thieves of the Dashun army first, but first we should unite with the Dashun army, first drive the Qinggou out of my great rivers and mountains, and then..."
"General He, Hugh has to say more. Have you forgotten the hatred that the thief forced my first emperor to kill himself in the coal mountain? Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Shi Kefa immediately broke off and shouted.
"Master Shi, don't get excited, the thief's Dashun army, since the Qing soldiers entered the customs, have been beaten apart, General He has recruited a lot of generals, for my Ming use. Actually, this is not a bad thing. Wouldn't it be better for me to hire people now, and I can recruit them without spending a soldier or a general? ”
"General Zuo, you can forget the shame of the first emperor, and I, Shi Kefa, will never dare to forget it."
Li Shuangxi watched Shi Kefa and Zuo Liangyu fight there, and General He, who had just made a suggestion next to him, was coldly aside. Li Shuangxi hurriedly walked over and pulled him aside, in his opinion, this was the person he urgently needed to know.
"Shogun's name, please?" The two walked to a corner, and Li Shuangxi asked.
"The last general, He Tengjiao, thanks to Li Gongzi's love."
"He Tengjiao? It turns out that you are He Tengjiao. Li Shuangxi was overjoyed, he knew that the 'nobleman' of their Dashun army had been found.
"Li Gongzi, do you know you?" He Tengjiao looked at Li Shuangxi's happy appearance, and his face was full of surprise.
"General He, you remember, it won't be long before you will collect all the men and horses of Dashun and become the biggest pillar of the Ming Dynasty's anti-Qing Dynasty and restoration of the Ming Dynasty."
"Li Gongzi, why do you bother to comfort the young general, now that Daming has a million soldiers and horses of General Zuo and Ma Shiying, when will it be my turn to speak as an unpopular general."
"General He doesn't have to be frustrated by a moment of frustration, you just need to remember what I said today, and when the main force of the Dashun Army comes to you that day, you don't have to refuse them."
"Childe really underestimates me He Tengjiao, if there is really a day, how many people come, I will accept as many people as he wants, and I will never break my word."
"Okay, then I'll be here, I wish General He the most powerful soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty in the near future, and everyone will work together to expel Qinggou from my Central Plains."
