Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mantis Yellow Sparrow Yulin robbed Gonggong Li

Liaodong Manchu over there.

After the death of Huang Taiji, after more than a year of hard work, Dolgon has completely grasped the power. Although Xiao Shunzhi was nominally enthroned as emperor, he could only be a puppet. can only endure humiliation under the care of that great queen Xiaozhuang.

To say that many people in later generations are arguing about whether Empress Xiaozhuang is really married to Dolgon, and there are many boring people who make up all kinds of romantic stories about her. But no amount of blasphemy against her can hide her greatness. With filial piety assisting three generations of emperors, the world should stop maliciously slandering this great woman out of respect.

Empress Xiaozhuang married at the age of thirteen to the thirty-four-year-old Huang Taiji, after marriage in many concubines with the ultimate intelligence, deeply appreciated by the Huang Taiji, can not but say that Shunzhi can ascend the throne has her great credit. In order to take care of the young emperor of Shunzhi, Empress Xiaozhuang had to deal with the powerful Emperor Taiji, which was also a last resort. Although the powerful Huang Taiji has the intention of seizing the throne, he still does not dare to act recklessly due to various reasons. But the ambitious Huang Taiji can't wait to become the master of the Ming Dynasty.

However, several times Huang Taiji convened all the Baylors to discuss the matter of marching, and the military Fan Wencheng resolutely opposed it. During the reign of Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng was deeply respected. Almost all major events, Huang Taiji consulted with Fan Wencheng. Now Dolgon can't help but listen to Fan Wencheng's advice when he is in trouble. Those Shuobeile people can't wait, they haven't marched into Daming for many years to loot, and their lives are already shabby. Some people even made insulting remarks, "Fan Junshi, you are a Han Chinese, are you worried that we will harm the Han people?" ”

A lot of Baylors laughed along.

Dorgon was furious, "Daring! In the future, if there is any disrespect for the military, heavy punishment will not be spared! ”

Fan Wencheng was accustomed to the cynicism of these unruly Baylors, and he not only said unhurriedly: "Regent, Baylor, we have been training the whole army in the past two years, and we have made some improvements. However, our combat strength has not fundamentally changed much. I've been observing the kiln people. They took Li Zicheng's Shaanxi lightly and Ordos lightly, and they simply took out the bag. We are going to attack Daming this time, and once the war is tight, the Yaogang people will definitely send troops to help. At present, in terms of combat power, we can't compare with the kiln people. ”

Without waiting for Fan Wencheng to finish speaking, Duoduo said angrily: "Military advisor! You don't grow up with other people's prestige! Our iron cavalry can defeat the Mongolian iron cavalry that is rampant all over the world, I don't believe it, and we can't deal with the Yaogang people. You are all frightened by the Yaogang people, when will the great cause of the Khan King Zhengming be completed, and when will the revenge of the white flag and red flag be avenged? ”

"Huh! Lord Baylor was furious. Since Lord Belle can still remember that the inlaid white flag and the inlaid red flag have been defeated by the kiln people. Do you know where you lost? Azigebel is also here, let's talk about it, where have we lost several times? Fan Wencheng's words made Azig particularly disgusted. Because he lost his troops in the Mongolian steppe, he was almost beheaded by Huang Taiji after he came back. Duoduo has always been unconvinced, he has not suffered the loss of the kiln gang people, so he does not believe that the kiln gang people can withstand the impact of the Manchu warrior cavalry. But Fan Wencheng's question, he still couldn't answer. Holding back his anger, Duoduo said, "I would like to hear the high opinion of the military!" ”

"The kiln gang people are not only better in tactics than us, but also have better firearms than us. That's what Azigebel should know. We've lost a few times, and it's not just us who underestimated the enemy. It's that we don't know anything about the kiln people. And the firearms gap is too great. At present, we have not come up with an effective way to deal with the kiln gang people, if we attack, we will encounter the kiln gang people, we will be defeated. Therefore, I do not recommend sending troops right away. Fan Wencheng said unhurriedly.

"Aren't we going to take revenge?" Duoduo asked.

"You let the military advisor finish the conversation!" Dorgon was also a sober-minded man.

"Revenge is revenge, but it needs opportunity." Fan Wencheng said, "Recently, Mr. Hong Chengchou and I have been studying the kiln gang people and discovered a big secret of the kiln gang people. ”

"Ou! Strategist, tell me what's the secret? "Dorgon's and the belle's appetites have been raised.

"We found that the ambition of the kiln people was too great. Their ambition is definitely not like what they show outsiders, just to make money and do nothing. Fan Wencheng paused, and then said, "The smart thing about them is that they have always maintained a good relationship with the Ming court, and it is said that Zhang Zhimu of Yaogang has always had a good personal relationship with Emperor Chongzhen. But they have never let go of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Exactly according to their own ideas in governance. We judged that their target was the whole world, but it had not yet been revealed. And they are clever that they never take land from the hands of the Ming Dynasty. But they drove Li Zicheng to seize the place of the Ming Dynasty, and then they took the place from Li Zicheng. That Emperor Chongzhen will be happy. However, the place taken back by the Yaogang people will not be given to the Ming court. ”

"It's really smart. This does not offend the court. ”

The Baylors were talking for a while. Someone asked, "O military advisor! Do you think this has anything to do with us? ”

"Of course it does!" Fan Wencheng said proudly, "Now that Li Zicheng is attacking the Ming army, the people of Yaogang have been watching it. With the strength of the Yaogang people, as long as they make a move, Li Zicheng will stop, but they don't, they are obviously conniving. If nothing else, it will not take two years, after they have governed Shaanxi and Shanxi into their rear, they will go all out and march south to take Henan and Huguang from Li Zicheng. This is a place that is more than Shaanxi, and it is almost open all around, and it takes a lot of strength to eat. A place that also requires a lot of troops to keep. They will inevitably use all their forces. At that time, when they started fighting and couldn't withdraw if they wanted to, it was the time for us to do it. ”

"That's right! While they can't take care of us, we will directly knock down Beijing. The Baylors were talking again.

Dolgon asked calmly, "If they complete the battle for the Central Plains." What if you fight us again? ”

All of them were silent at this point, and Dorgon was indeed asking a question.

"Huh! At that time, we will retry the situation, whether to fight them or talk to them, we will take the initiative. Fan Wencheng said, "Only if we make good use of such an opportunity and take the initiative." We will have to face to face with the kiln people sooner or later. If we don't fight out, they will also come back to Liaodong one day. It's better for us to seize the opportunity and take the initiative. A praying mantis catches cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. ”

Fan Wencheng plan, everyone understands. But his next few words made everyone feel very harsh. Because he said, "We kiln gang people will have to face each other sooner or later." We don't go out, they will come back to Liaodong one day. ”

However, everyone in Baylor understood that Fan Wencheng was telling the truth. Although it was still so far away from the people of Yaogang, after listening to Fan Wencheng's words, Dolgon also felt a slight chill.

When Dolgon and Empress Xiaozhuang talked about this, Empress Xiaozhuang said, "Do we have to be enemies of the Yaogang people?" ”

But Dorgon could not show weakness, especially before women. He said, "We must defeat the kiln people!" ”

Empress Xiaozhuang couldn't offend Dolgon now, so she just sighed, "Alas! ”

The woman knew that Dorgon was bound to be defeated at the hands of the Kiln Man. But now she can't do anything, her only goal is to ensure that Emperor Shunzhi grows up safely.

After Emperor Chongzhen got the news that the Yaogang people and the Dashun army had fought, he was both happy and worried. Emperor Chongzhen is often in such contradictions, which is also due to his character. Happily, the Yaogang people are still Li Zicheng's sworn enemies, and the worry is that it is said that there are only a few hundred Yaogang people, but they blocked the attack of Liu Zongmin's army. In the future, no one will be able to restrain the kiln people.

There is another thing that makes Emperor Chongzhen very entangled. News from Shanhaiguan said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Dolgon had completed the training of the whole army in the past two years. Those evil soldiers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were eager to try the Ming Dynasty again. Many ministers persuaded him to move the capital to respond to Tianfu, but Emperor Chongzhen thought that it would be too disgraceful for the king of a country. The ministers retreated and persuaded Emperor Chongzhen to send the prince to Yingtianfu first, once there is any crisis, there is a prince in Yingtianfu, and everything can be guaranteed. Emperor Chongzhen still did not agree. Now it seems that it was done right. The Dashun army has already threatened Ying Tianfu on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Those damn kiln people, they just don't send troops. Now even Zhang Zhimu's people can't be seen. It seems that the kiln gang people are not satisfied with the last order to let them return. But this is a matter of life and death, can you do it willingly? How did he know that the people of Yaogang were not just rash about this, they never suffered losses. He thought that Emperor Chongzhen had been sold by the Yaogang people, and he wanted to exchange for far greater benefits than withdrawing. Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know, and he doesn't want to believe it, he is just a pawn of the kiln people.

Now the most depressed person should be the Liu Zongmin who lost the battle. In fact, Liu Zongmin didn't care too much about fighting a defeated battle, especially in the hands of the Yaogang people. What he cares about is what Niu Jinxing said, Niu Jinxing has the holy decree to seize his military power.

On this day, Liu Zongmin couldn't help it, and asked Niu Jinxing: "Prime Minister, what you said last time, is it true that you have a holy decree in your hand that can take away my military power?" ”

"Huh! General Quan, is this a joke? Niu Jinxing asked with a smile.

"Does Lord Chuang really want to take away my military power?" Liu Zongmin still doesn't believe it, and he doesn't want to believe it.

Niu Jinxing didn't answer Liu Zongmin directly, but asked, "General Quan, do you know how big your disaster is this time?" Without this decree of the emperor, can I stop you? The emperor knows you too well! ”

"Alas!" Liu Zongmin sighed, still unable to accept this fact.

"Come on! General Quan, there is one more thing, you have gone a little too far. Before sending troops this time, the emperor repeatedly said that he must not kill innocents indiscriminately as before. But you still slaughtered the city in Zhongdu for three days. You didn't report it back, but the radio and newspapers of the Yaogang people reported the matter. Last time I was confused in Shangzhou, I asked the Yaogang people's radio station to broadcast it live. Coupled with your massacre of the city this time, the reputation of our Dashun Army is finished. The emperor can't tell you anything, can you not be angry? Besides, what do you have to do with the women and children you killed when you enter the city, and why do you have to kill them? Niu Jinxing said.

"Fighting these crooked eyes, we can't fight the kiln people." Liu Zongmin lowered his head and said, "After the soldiers entered the city, they were red-eyed. I also saw too many dead and wounded brethren to stop them. ”

"When the kiln people grasped this, they came to kill people with a soft knife, and there was no blood. The prestige of our Dashun army has plummeted. Niu Jinxing said, "There are masters in the kiln gang!" Not the average high. I've always felt that everything we do, the kiln gang people have counted. Or even what they arranged. ”

"Prime Minister, you don't have to be too ambitious. We can't do martial arts, we can't do literature, it's better to lower the kiln people! Liu Zongmin said.

"Humph! This is also the reason why the emperor is particularly angry. Niu Jinxing said, "Our goal is to cross the Yangtze River and prepare to stay away from the kiln people." Strive to have a few years of recovery time in Gangnam. The emperor is also introspecting and wants us to learn from the practices of the kiln people. You say, if you provoke the kiln gang people this time, they will drive the warship over. Is it a bad plan for the emperor? ”

"Oops! It's a little bit. Liu Zongmin knew the seriousness of the matter this time.

"If we can't cross the river, one day the kiln gang people will call. Are we going nowhere? Niu Jinxing asked.

"Prime Minister, this time we can't be like Shaanxi here, retreat without a fight, and give it to the Yaogang people. Come to think of it, we can't stand the brothers who didn't get the order to retreat in Shaanxi and the Yaogang people died in battle. Liu Zongmin said.

"This time, the emperor will not let go easily. We're just preparing for one more way out. The military advisor is also arranging things to deal with the kiln gang people at home. Niu Jinxing said.

"I'm still thinking about Ying Tianfu in front of me, which is likely to be a hard bone." Liu Zongmin said.

"Yes! It must be a bloody battle. Niu Jinxing said, "Those gelding donkeys are more difficult to deal with, and they are loyal to the Ming Dynasty one by one." We must be ready to strike again. ”

"It's not too long, we prepare, and so do they." Liu Zongmin said, "I think we will start a war when our grain and grass are transported!" So as not to have many dreams at night. ”

"Okay!" Niu Jinxing nodded and said.

Gonggong Li is very well-informed, and as soon as Zhang Zhimu came back to work, he saw him waiting in front of the door.

Let Gonggong Li into the office, and Yang Yulin arranged for someone to serve him tea.

Zhang Zhimu asked: "I heard about it as soon as I came back, and Gonggong Li has been looking for me?" ”

"Yes! Zhang Dongjia, Tianfu is in danger! Gonggong Li said, "The emperor asks you to send troops quickly, it's too late." ”

"What does the crisis of Tianfu have to do with us. We sent troops, and as soon as we had finished the battle, they drove us back. Zhang Zhimu said, "I also read it, these people in the court, if you give your heart to them, you can't make it through." Our hearts have long been cold. ”

Gonggong Li heard it, Zhang Zhimu was not only dissatisfied with those people in Ying Tianfu, but also dissatisfied with the emperor inside and outside of his words. However, he couldn't take care of these anymore, "Zhang Dongjia, don't worry about those people in Ying Tianfu." For the emperor's sake, you should send troops! ”

"If it weren't for the emperor's face, I would have been able to go to the prairie and let the mosquitoes bite me this time?" Zhang Zhimu said, "The soldiers who returned last time were all arranged to be on the border defense side of the Hetao. This time, I just wanted to see if I could bring in some troops and horses. However, I didn't expect the Mongols to be rampant now. They took advantage of the horse's speed to hit and run against us, and ran away when they grabbed it. Our forces are stretched thin and simply not enough. Tell me, can the soldiers at the border be withdrawn? ”

"If you can't do infantry, you can send warships over!" Gonggong Li said.

"You think I didn't think about it?" Zhang Zhimu said, "Our warships are different from wooden sailing ships, as long as there is a place to stop. There must be a special dock docked and special personnel to serve, so as to ensure the supply of water, coal, oil, and food on board. As soon as we withdrew, the special wharf that we had worked so hard to build for a long time in Zhenjiang was demolished by the people of Ying Tianfu. ”

"Don't you have a base there in Jiangbei?" Gonggong Li was a little anxious.

"Humph!" Zhang Zhimu snorted and said, "The water in that base has been drained. The ship could not get in at all, and construction had just begun. ”

"It seems that Zhang Dongjia said that he would not send troops at all, right?" The somersault on Grandpa Li's neck jumped up.

Zhang Zhimu was not polite when he saw it, "Gonggong Li, I am looking at the emperor's face, and I will explain it to you well, but you can't listen to it." I think you're shameless! You can get out now! ”

Gonggong Li knew that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Dongjia, don't get me wrong!" Now it's really urgent! ”

But before he could finish speaking, Yang Yulin had already come in with a pistol. Yang Yulin, who had loaded the bullet, pointed the pistol at Grandpa Li's head and said, "Get out!" Be careful that my hand shakes and goes off. ”

Although Gonggong Li knew that Yang Yulin would not shoot easily, he was still careful to take precautions, he knew that with his martial arts, Yang Yulin could not kill himself with one shot, but he did not dare to guarantee that the next few shots would not hit her. Because Yang Yulin's martial arts are not weak. Gonggong Li waved his hand and said, "Hehe! Miss Yang, don't get me wrong! Put the gun down! Don't get me wrong! ”

Yang Yulin's eyes can kill, and she said coldly: "Get out!" ”

"Good! I'm out. Zhang Dongjia, you think about it again! Father-in-law Li was still shouting as he walked out.

Gonggong Li went out, Yang Yulin put down the gun in his hand and said, "Brother! In the future, you can't see this Gonggong Li alone. This person's martial arts are definitely not ordinary, if he is not good for you, you can't stop him. ”

"It's okay, at least it's okay now. The emperor hasn't come to kill me yet. Zhang Zhimu asked, "How do you see that he has martial arts?" ”

"Oops! Those who practice martial arts can see it at a glance. You look at his eyes, his breath, his gait, these can't be hidden. This person's martial arts can be compared with his uncle. Yang Yulin said.

"Really? So, if you fight him alone, you can't beat him? Zhang Zhimu asked.

"If I have a pistol in my hand, I can defeat him. He dodged one shot from me, and the second shot I would have killed him. A single round of martial arts, I am not his opponent. But it can handle it for a while. Yang Yulin said honestly. In front of Zhang Zhimu, she will not exaggerate her ability for the sake of face.

"Alright! It's best that we don't have to compare ourselves to him. You can call and invite Yangchang over. "Zhang Zhimu to Yang Yulin.

Yang Yulin agreed and went out.

After a while, Yangchang rushed over with two people.

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Zhimu joked, "What good things did you bring here?" ”

Yang Chang said: "Mr. Zhang, we really brought good things. ”

As he spoke, he first took out an electric tester and gave it to Zhang Zhimu. Zhang Zhimu took it and said, "The electric detector is done?" ”

Zhang Zhimu got up and came to a socket to put the electric detector into it, found the fire wire, and the electric detector lit up.

"Good stuff!" Zhang Zhimu said, "This pen is for me." ”

"It's for you." Yang Chang said and took out another fluorescent lamp and said, "Mr. Zhang, you try, this is a small one, and the big one is not easy to bring." ”

The other two hurriedly put the day-off lights on the table and plugged the power plug into the socket. With the flip of a switch, the light glows white when the day is turned off. However, Zhang Zhimu feels that the brightness of this lamp is still a little insufficient. He said: "Great, in the future, when the lights are turned off on such a small day, they can be made into table lamps, and it is much more convenient when reading books at night." However, I think you guys need to improve a little bit more in terms of brightness. ”

"Yes! We also felt that the brightness was not enough. But this time I came here to let you take a look. Yang Chang said.

"Good! This kind of light you are slowly improving. Zhang Zhimu said, "I asked you to come here today to let you make a new lamp." ”

"New lights?" Yangchang and the three of them were excited.

"That's right, last night I went to see our fountain square. The lanterns you guys make are very beautiful. However, I don't think the color is enough, and the method of using incandescent lamps to cover the stained glass is not very efficient. It's also inconvenient to use. I'm going to let you do neon this time. ”

"Neon?"

"Yes, neon. Didn't you just give me a voltage tester? Zhang Zhimu said, "The electric tester is to stimulate neon to glow with an electric field." If we fill a glass tube with neon gas, and then add high-voltage electrodes of several thousand volts or even ten thousand volts to both ends of the glass tube, then the neon inside the glass tube will emit a strong light. Not only neon gas emittes light, but all kinds of inert gases will emit light, and the light emitted is not the same color. Think about it, if we make glass tubes into various shapes, such as words, patterns, and so on. Wouldn't it be better to let them emit different colors of light and beautify our environment. This thing also has the advantage of high luminous efficiency and long service life. It's basically a cold light, and there is very little heat. ”

"Good! Mr. Zhang, we can do experiments as soon as we go back. Yang Chang said.

As soon as Yang Chang finished speaking, Yang Yulin came in and said, "Yang Chang answered the phone!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and someone actually called here to find Yangchang.
