Chapter 14 Driving
Of course, Yang Qing went to find Yuanyuan.
He borrowed a horse from Li Laiheng, ran all the way out of the palace and took out the same borrowed token at Andingmen to go out of the city, and then climbed over the wall into Fang Zetan, where the gate was still closed.
Fortunately, there were no accidents this time.
Yuanyuan was still tied, like a sacrifice by a pile of hay in the middle of the altar, probably tired of crying and sleeping! After being woken up by Yang Qing, she bit like a female tiger, but after being stuffed with a chicken leg in her mouth, she didn't care about expressing her thoughts to Yang Qing, and after taking a sip of wine, she completely calmed down. After Yang Qing took out another set of clean clothes, she basically chose to forgive, and then calmly turned her back to Yang Qing and changed into this set of men's clothes, took off all the jewelry on her head and pulled her hair in a bun, and then glanced at Yang Qing viciously, and the latter quickly handed her a wooden hairpin in his hand.
"Where?"
She said coldly.
"Uh, don't you want to go back?"
Yang Qing said.
Yuan Yuan hooked his finger sekingly at him.
Yang Qing leaned over very cooperatively, and then the slender jade hand scratched like a cat's claw, he smiled and took a step back to avoid it, watching Yuanyuan pull up his hair, and wiped his face with some stagnant water by the way.
"You have to change your identity, in other words, are you willing to disguise yourself as a man as a eunuch, or are you willing to be a palace maid to serve the princess?"
Yang Qing touched his chin and admired her male appearance and said.
"Who the hell are you?"
Yuan Yuan said suspiciously.
"Let's go, you'll find out later!"
Yang Qing picked her up and said.
Then he went out over the wall, put Yuanyuan in the saddle, and then got on his horse and ran quickly with her to the Chaoyang Gate, and found a farmer nearby, and stuffed her to others, and viciously kicked off a small tree in the yard of the house, and took out the silver to buy it in the frightened kneeling of the couple, and in this way he threw Yuanyuan again.
After returning to the capital, Chongzhen's car was almost ready.
Of course, it can't be only Chongzhen going south.
Li Zicheng left his three sons as hostages, but his wives couldn't stay, the queen died when she died, leaving the three princes to be responsible for burying them, and Yuan Guifei and other concubines were on the list of following the south, plus his sister-in-law, that is, the Empress Zhang of the Apocalypse, the famous beauty Zhang Yan, is still a beauty, but a beautiful mature woman. Coupled with the two princesses Kunxing and Zhaoren, it can be said that the whole team is a group of women, and these people are accompanied by more than 200 palace maids and eunuchs, and Yang Qing is going to cry when he sees it, if there is an accident on the road, how can he take care of it alone! As for the escort, of course, there are also guards, Li Laiheng led five hundred Shun troops to escort, but he was only responsible for sending them to Tianjin, so where to go from Tianjin needs to be carefully considered.
Looking for Wu Sangui in the north?
"No, it's the other way around!"
Yang Qing objected.
"Ping Xibo is there about the Ning army, you can lead your troops to escort Your Majesty Nanxing, Your Majesty's car is not guaranteed by the army, this is thousands of miles to Nanjing, bandits are rampant along the way, in addition to looking for Pingxibo, where is there a big army?"
Wang Chengen said.
"What if he surrenders to Dorgon?"
Yang Qing said.
"What if he coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes?"
He continued.
"Could it be that Liu Zeqing can be guaranteed?"
Wang Chengen said.
If you don't look for Wu Sangui, you can only find Liu Zeqing, who was stationed in Linqing before, and it was only a few days away along the canal in Tianjin, but he was less reliable than Wu Sangui. This bastard doesn't even want to see Chongzhen, before Li Zicheng's army killed, Chongzhen raided the knighthood in order to buy the generals to come to King Qin, for example, Wu Sangui was named Xibo at that time, but he deliberately missed him, until Li Zicheng had already begun to attack the city, he twisted and pinched to give him a Dongping Bo.
"Liu Zeqing is indeed insurable, but there is one person who is absolutely insurable."
Yang Qing said.
"Who?"
Chongzhen asked.
"Yellow Dragon."
Yang Qing said.
Huang Fei is the chief soldier of the water division, originally responsible for Wu Sangui's military quartermaster in Ningyuan, after Wu Sangui abandoned Ning Yuan into the customs, Huang Fei retreated to Dengzhou, the base of the water division Dengzhou, originally in history he abandoned Denglai all the way south after the Qing army entered the customs, this person is not a very defeated general, but in the end did not surrender, although there are different versions of his ending, but none of them surrendered without a fight or simply turned their backs on the enemy, one of the sayings is that he was captured and was escorted to Jiangyin to persuade him to surrender, but he refused, and was killed by the Qing army.
Of course, Yang Qing does not believe in his loyalty.
"He's from Jiangxi."
He went on to say.
This is the reason why he believes in Huang Fei, whether it is Wu Sangui or Liu Zeqing, the others are all northerners, although the Wu family is from Gaoyou, but in fact, the industry is in the area of Liaoxi and Shuntian, and Liu Zeqing is from Shandong, they all have the possibility of controlling Chongzhen and coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and then with the support of the northern gentry, they borrowed troops to suppress Kou, and cooperated with Dolgon to strangle Li Zicheng.
Especially when Chongzhen sold the northern gentry.
Once they control Chongzhen, they will immediately force Chongzhen with the support of the northern gentry to overturn the compromise just reached between him and Li Zicheng, no longer recognize Chongzhen's appointment of Li Zicheng, and lead the Qing troops into the customs under the banner of Chongzhen to jointly deal with Li Zicheng, and then it is the result of Shanhaiguan, at most after solving Li Zicheng, they will fight with the Qing army for control of the north, but if they can't fight, they will take Chongzhen as a gift, surrender Dolgon and attack Jiangnan together.
This is an inevitable result.
Li Zicheng has already begun to use the clamp stick to deal with the princes of Gongon.
Liu Zongmin is extremely efficient, as soon as he arrested these guys in prison, he took out more than two million in less than an hour, and at this time, Shunjun had already broken into Zhou Kui's house and began to move silver out of his family's underground silver vault, so Yang Qing still couldn't change this after all.
Of course, he can't change it.
Therefore, the relationship between Li Zicheng and the gentry is irretrievable after all.
Then the latter can't sit still, they have to resist, if Chongzhen falls into the hands of Wu Sangui or Liu Zeqing, the northern gentry will cheer, even if Wu Sangui and the two don't want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, they will do their best to make them do so. And Huang Fei won't, behind him is the Jiangnan gentry, the current result is welcomed by the Jiangnan gentry, abandoning the north in exchange for a truce, they don't need to worry about Li Zicheng going south, they can continue to enjoy their good life in Jiangnan. Therefore, Huang Fei will not only not coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but will send Chongzhen back to Nanjing as quickly as possible, and then achieve a truce between the north and the south, so as to abandon the north in exchange for the safety of the south, so that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will not care whether the northern gentry live or die!
"But Your Majesty needs to wade into the danger of waves!"
Wang Chengen said hesitantly.
"How is the danger of waves like the danger of a puppet? What's more, at this time, the spring has just begun, the southeast wind has not yet risen, whether it is to Dengzhou or from Dengzhou to the south, it can be regarded as a smooth wind, before Governor Feng has prepared hundreds of sea ships in Tianjin, at this time it is estimated that there are still a lot of them, find a few big ships to send His Majesty to the sea to Dengzhou is only two or three days away, Huang Fei's hundreds of warships are enough to escort His Majesty to the south safely. ”
Yang Qing looked at Chongzhen and said.
"Then go to Dengzhou!"
Chongzhen said.
Obviously, he also understood that at this time, the safest person was only Huang Fei, and Feng Yuanyang had indeed prepared hundreds of sea ships for him before, and persuaded him to move the capital to Nanjing many times, so it can be said that everything was already prepared in Tianjin for him to go south by sea. In addition, he also understands that the relationship between himself and the northern gentry is broken, if he is really made a puppet by these guys, then there will definitely be no good end, maybe one day he will be poisoned and drunk, at this time, the princes of Gon who are screaming under the sticks in the prison, and the relatives in their families who are tearful and digging out the silver are probably thinking of using the same stick to clamp him.
Behind these people, the vast majority of them were northern gentry.
The destination is thus determined.
"As for you......"
Chongzhen looked at Yang Qing, sighed, and then said with a pleasant face: "You are from the small flag of the seventh grade, first promoted to the commander, and after you arrive in Nanjing, you will be promoted to the commander." ”
"Uh, Your Majesty!"
Yang Qing replied perfunctorily.
Commanding things or something, he doesn't care very much, in fact, even if he goes to Nanjing, this Jinyiwei is basically a waste, what kind of place is that, the nest of the Donglin Party, it is strange if they can tolerate Chongzhen to let Jinyiwei become big again! Even if the Jinyi Guard is rebuilt, those officials in Jiangnan will not tolerate him as a commander, and the people there are masters, so it is far better to find a military position in Jiangbei in Jinyiwei, and then pull up the team with the official rank to be comfortable.
Besides, Yang Qing himself has limited feelings for Daming, if he wasn't worried about Chongzhen's daughter, he might have followed Li Zicheng at this time.
As long as Chongzhen is sent to Nanjing, his goal will be achieved, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future.
Chongzhen didn't say anything more.
In the end, he doesn't have a good impression of Yang Qing, he is not a fool, of course he knows what the ultimate goal of this guy's loyalty is, but in essence, this guy is rude and rude, has no respect for himself, and dared to do it to himself at the beginning.
Anyway, as long as his daughter hasn't fallen into the hands of this guy, his obedience can still be guaranteed.
Although Yang Qing said that he would leave on the same day, but in fact it was still delayed for another day, the next day, that is, in the early morning of March 21, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming Emperor took his wife and daughter, with a full set of honor guards of the Son of Heaven, and stayed in the newly baked Ming Beijing, Qin King Li Zicheng escorted out of the Chengtian Gate, the Daming Gate, and the Zhengyang Gate into the outer city, and under the farewell of the people in Beijing, he went east out of the Dongbian Gate, boarded the ship at the Datong Bridge Yuhe Wharf, and together with the Li Laiheng Department of the guard, began the long journey of moving the capital to the east in the spring breeze.
