This Spring Festival in the third year of Chongzhen is definitely not a good taste for the Ming Dynasty and the magnates in Beijing.

The battle of Guangqumen in November, although the battle of Deshengmen repelled the Houjin army, but then Emperor Chongzhen's impatience and suspicion reappeared, almost exactly the same as in history, on November 20, Chongzhen recruited Yuan Chonghuan into the palace in the name of salary, and then took it down with Jinyiwei and put him in prison.

However, Yuan Chonghuan's bad luck has nothing to do with the boiling Huang Taiji discordant plan uploaded by history, from the emperor's side, Chongzhen is not a responsible and responsible person, between the lines in history, he regards face even more important than the country, like the shame of Jingkang in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was beaten to the imperial capital by the Jin people, how could he be willing to wear the hat of this faint monarch? Then Yuan Chonghuan, who commands the army and horses of the king of the world, must become this backstopper.

And from Yuan Chonghuan's own point of view, he is indeed derelict in his duties, the Ming Dynasty came down to provide Liao, and millions of taels of silver were given to him every year to raise the army of Yuan Chonghuan, but what did he do?

First there was a Ningyuan mutiny, and then the Mongolian tribes in the Liaohe River basin who spent a lot of money instead took the reward silver grain of the Ming Dynasty and invested in Houjin, and they entered the customs this time, especially the Liaodong Army that invested so much was so bad, and they were stunned that they did not intercept the Houjin Eight Banners, so that they hit the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Chonghuan was taken down, and he was not wronged.

The problem is that you have to settle accounts after the autumn! This war is not over, Chongzhen arrested the commander-in-chief, the subordinate legions are naturally panicked, Zu Dashou avoided trouble, with more than 15,000 Liaodong elite troops to Shanhaiguan retreated, got the news of the Huang Taiji immediately made a comeback, first attacked Lugou Bridge, deputy chief Shenpu more than 7,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated, and then hit Yongdingmen, Mangui Sun Zu beast died in battle, more than 40,000 Ming troops were defeated.

In front of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji leisurely swept away the north of the Gyeonggi River, and immediately returned to the grassland with more than 200,000 people and animals, millions of taels of silver, and countless materials.

Who has the most property near Jingshi, the emperor's imperial village, the minister of culture and martial arts, the great eunuch, and the grange of the nobles, the wealth accumulated by the people who plundered it for more than a hundred years was packed and taken away by the emperor Taiji, and no one was happy to come out in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Compared with the Beijing Division, thousands of miles away from the Iron Mountain, now it is a piece of joy, the government and military generals have always been requisitioned and requisitioned for work and rest is not to give money, but since Mao Jue arrived, this gentleman young master Kuo is also generous, this year there are many projects, almost all the strong men in the family can get a little silver or a new cloth, recently the hunting is over, no matter what meat, large and small villages have also obtained a lot of rare protein meat, Dousheng Xiaomin does not have so many hearts, eat and wear warm, is happiness.

On the last day of the second year of Chongzhen, the political and military center has moved forward Fort Garlau is really lively, under the mountain, making dumplings, sticking pairs, there are a lot of them, children wearing newly made clothes, running around the streets and villages and playing wildly, angry one by one with the soles of their shoes chasing everywhere, and the old man leisurely leaning on the yard basking in the sun.

However, in the entire Tieshan Town, there are no more than 100 people who can read and write, and it has become a problem for anyone to write the pair, many people are looking for Mao Jue to write, where does Mao Jue have the patience, and directly kicked out the fat man Su Changmei, who can't write the right thing, so he can only write it hard, but Mao Jue went out today, and he almost didn't laugh out.

For example, according to the direction, located in Dongjiagou Village, east of Garauburg, the village chief and the door of the house of 100 households is upright with two lines of words, and there are several fat chickens at home, and they are reluctant to eat an egg. Horizontal batch, old picking.

I really don't know if Su Changmei, a cadre, went to the countryside, but the village chief didn't serve and understand, and didn't give the whole four dishes and one soup.

There is even more funniness, a little farther away in Waijiahe Village, where village elder Liu Tou's house also posted two lines of pairs.

The family has a daughter-in-law, and the fucking thief is beautiful, so I am afraid that the father-in-law will not be serious. The horizontal batch is old pickpocket.

The meaning of the old gray is the father-in-law and daughter-in-law**, at this point, Tang Xuanzong is the ancestor of the gray, and I don't know if this old Li Tou's family really has this thing or if there is such a thing, watching this old guy lead a silly son wearing a green melon skin hat to say hello to himself, Mao Jue forced the corners of his mouth twitch and didn't laugh out loud, and secretly said that this Su fat man was lacking in virtue enough.

According to the usual practice, subordinates also have to bring things to give gifts to the commander, but this year Mao Jue's mouth is black enough, his defense area has almost wiped out all the mountain goods in Tieshan, and several officers have not even caught a scum, Tian Tao and He Baobao These people are too lazy to take care of Mao Jue, which just makes him have a leisure.

Originally, this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner should have been eaten back to the Governor's Mansion on Phi Island, but Mao Wenlong was not on Phi Island, so Mao Jue did not toss, and sent people to send back the tiger skin mattress and some Dongzhu, jewelry and other status New Year goods, and spent it here with more than 800 of his own soldiers.

This year is really wine and meat, the nearby mountains cut firewood to set up more than ten fires, a whole pig and the whole sheep are fed directly on the big wood, roasted in the fire pile mountain, the bottom is also roasted bud rice, sweet potatoes, canteens also put the cauldron and stove in the open ground, with sweet potato seedlings, fish, meat, wild vegetables and mushrooms boiled like pig food, whoever wants to eat, who will go to serve.

In these years, there is no TV and computer, the Spring Festival Gala, but it does not mean that the people of this era are not brilliant, standing on the castle wall and looking down, dozens of miles nearby villages are full of fire, lively and extraordinary, lion dance, dragon dance, and there are actually spontaneously formed grass stage group singing, compared with the neighborhoods under the reinforced concrete barrier in later generations, the people of this era are obviously more closely related.

This military camp is not bad, this kung fu Liu Chong and Wen Meng two rough men actually did it, the two of them each brought more than 20 sentry posts under their command, dragging a thick rope to tug-of-war, and the middle of the rope actually tied a roasted pig's head, not to mention, in the past half a year, Mao Juejun raised a good good when he first came, one by one thin like a little chicken, and now one by one has also raised fat, more than 40 strong men with red eyes and noses spurting, like killing pigs have to drag back for a while and are still deadlocked there, no one can help anyone.

The unlucky pig's head had a bitter face, and he drooped to the left and right.

On the other hand, the melodious harp is actually tinkling in this oriental land to bloom a wonderful sound, Mao Jue is a little unclear where this Adriana comes from, sometimes she and the later generations of shrewd and capable, aggressive Western European elite women, like the arrogant, sometimes want Italy, Greek girls like that, gentle and sentimental, amorous and sad, at this time she is the latter, her piano sound, can hear the faint nostalgia.

Fortunately, this joyful atmosphere covered up this faint melancholy, and with her accompaniment, the four beautiful sedan chairmen in plain clothes and Qian Zeng danced the mulberry picking dance, and with a smile, they attracted the excited applause of those bloody soldiers.

This time, there are some new styles of things on the table, and there is a small stove at the other end, the pot is stewed with pheasant mushrooms, and some crystal clear things are also turning over with the boiling soup, and the potatoes are ground a lot, and another particularly optimistic commodity of Mao Jue is also born.

Vermicelli!

Pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed vermicelli, sauerkraut stewed vermicelli Qian Zeng almost swallowed his tongue in this goods, everyone who sang and danced had a good time, he ate happily there, this has been eaten up I don't know how many bowls, Mao Jue is really afraid that he will eat fat people to make those powerful and old rich people in Jiangnan think that this Tieshan is a rich place, and they all come to fight the autumn breeze.

But this time there is more nostalgia than Adeleena, Mao Jue himself is still one, I don't know if the father and mother at home are guarding the missing persons of the Public Security Bureau at this time, and what are the brothers in the bedroom doing?

"General, come and dance!"

Suddenly, a cold little hand grabbed Mao Jue's hand suddenly, Xiao Chunzi, an artillery soldier under his command, this kid has been eating and drinking here for a year, and he hasn't seen any growth, but his chest muscles have developed a little, and he dragged him to the crowd that has been holding hands in a circle, singing and dancing around the fire, even if Mao Jue, who has been used to pretending to be forced in front of people for half a year, is actually a little uncomfortable.

"Ben Jiang won't go, you guys play...... ......hey, hey, forget it, Adelena, get up for the young master!"

Death is also dragging a cushion on the back, this Adriana is intoxicated with self-bulleting and self-injury, and she is also in the dance group when she is dragged by Mao Jue and screams.

What surprised her especially was that she dragged her hand and threw it away, first made an appearance, and then Mao Jue's hand stopped her waist as standard, and her right hand was raised, a typical ballroom dance in later generations.

"You, how could you?"

Before the bright eyes full of curiosity came out, the soldiers next to them had already erupted into a mountain of cheers.

"General, good !!"

With such a leader, the scene is a little unsightly, and he doesn't jump around the circle, two or two big men hug each other on the edge of the fire, and they don't jump, they just follow the blind circle, and they are full of affection, if there is a rotten girl here, they have to die of excitement.

There are also two people who actually pinched it, their thick arms and ten fingers interlocked together, and the other end of the two hands to the death hoop each other's waists, to see who can move whom, the two pure men have their brains jumping, gritting their teeth, and from time to time they knock down a pair, but add a lot of alternative fun.

I don't know when, Mao Jue also forgot about the high-rise buildings and lights in later generations, and devoted himself to this song and dance.

…………

The night of the carnival until almost twelve o'clock, the full of money was drunk again, in a daze I don't know where I fell asleep, but he also felt unsteady when he slew, and it seemed to be getting colder and colder, and there was something that kept strangling him, and he was almost out of breath, very difficult, and this thing suddenly opened his eyes, but he almost screamed out without fear.

I don't know when, he was actually tied to the north of the mule, sandwiched between two large boxes, a few dense and bundled mink skin, no wonder he couldn't breathe, this realm is no longer the fortress of Jialao Mountain, but I don't know where to go to the deep mountains and wild forests, the sun is shining at about ten o'clock, all around are the footsteps of Sasha, turning his head, Qian Zeng can clearly distinguish that this is a three-layer furry white helmet made of leather and iron by Mao Jue's personal soldiers.

"Hey! Let Lao Tzu come down, where is this! Lao Tzu wants to see your general! Hey!"

"Okay, don't call Brother Qian, Mao is here!"

When the voice came, Qian Zeng saw clearly that the hat on the side of the mule was Mao Jue, carrying an Iron Mountain flint bird gun on his back, and he was also walking with a white breath.

I thought I had been kidnapped just now, but looking at Mao Jue, this money Zeng was even more drummed in his heart, and he barely squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and this thing shouted sadly.

"Brother Mao, this joke is not funny at all!"

"What joke?"

Mao Jue actually raised his hands differently, and immediately, he suddenly smiled.

"Brother Qian, didn't you forget, a few days ago, Mao was still asking you, can people whip wine for money? This time, let's just give it a try!"

The pro-regiment wearing a white cloak and a white hat hurriedly walked through the forest, not seeing the head and the tail, hearing this, Qian Zeng couldn't help but tremble.
