Text Chapter 123 Tongzhou

Chaoyangmen has become the distribution center of Beijing's grain since the Tonghui River was cleaned up in the Yongle period. Canals outside the city can lead to lakes in the city, such as Jishuitan and Beihai.

However, since the end of Wanli, the country's money has been requisitioned by the three major requisitions. During the Chongzhen period, there was no money to clean up the Tonghui River, and now the gate of the Tonghui River has been damaged in some places. Grain ships could only go to Tongzhou, and then transport them to the capital by mules and horses.

There are large granaries inside and outside Chaoyang Gate, and the Kuding guarding the warehouse has long since run away. I saw that the door of the granary was open, and there were only a few people inside who were grabbing grain, and there was no one guarding it.

Zhu Hongsan thought about it, these millions of stone grains will be cheaper no matter what, and the Manchu braids in the future might as well be burned. Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan called a platoon commander and asked him to take ten people to the granaries along the way to set fires, and not a single grain of grain should be left for the liukou.

Platoon commander Ma Liang led people to set fires, and Zhu Hongsan rushed out of Chaoyang Gate with people.

After going out for five miles, Zhu Hongsan ordered to rest and wait for Ma Liang and them. At this time, there was already a fire in Chaoyangmen, and after a while, Ma Liang and the others caught up and set off for Tongzhou with Zhu Hongsan.

This time, the Chaoyangmen fire burned for half a month, and millions of stone grains were burned out. The Beizhili generation was not a grain producing area, and the loss of millions of stone of grain caused a large number of Beijing residents to starve to death. Some scholars in later generations estimated that a total of one million people died of starvation in this man-made famine in North China, which must be counted on Zhu Hongsan.

However, it was precisely because of the decrease in grain that the ruling power of Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was greatly weakened. They have been unable to concentrate their efforts on moving south. So that the small court of Nanjing, which had existed for a year in history, could be extended for one year.

Of course, the biggest benefit is Zhu Hongsan, whose Guangdong territory has been given a key year of development opportunities. When the Qing army eliminated the Hongguang regime and then went south into Guangdong, they found that Zhu Hongsan had become extremely powerful.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, and now Zhu Hongsan is fleeing like a lost dog. Tongzhou is more than 40 miles away from Beijing. Zhu Hongsan and Feng Ruoshu agreed to gather at the dock outside the city, and then see what to do next.

Thanks to the fire at Chaoyangmen, the rogues who occupied Beijing were in no mood to pursue the small armed forces of more than 100 people. Under the order of Li Yan, the only person who understands the rogues, he went all out to fight the fire.

Zhu Hongsan also took this opportunity to rush to Tongzhou without any danger.

It was already dark at the Tonghui River Wharf outside Tongzhou. Zhu Hongsan's tired body trembled when he rode the horse, and Zhu Hongsan knew that the horse would be tired to death if he ran again. My own is still a war horse, and many of the others are horses. More than a dozen of them were already exhausted on the way.

Zhu Hongsan got off the horse and ordered to rest, and then asked people to find Feng Ruoshu and his party.

After Zhu Hongsan finished arranging, he turned around and hugged Zhu Yujiao. It was found that the inside of her two long legs had been worn and bleeding, and the blood had leaked through her outer pants. Zhu Yujiao's painful tears swirled in her eyes, but she was afraid that Zhu Hongsan would know so she didn't cry.

Zhu Hongsan knew that with the current medical conditions, it was very likely to be infected if he was not bandaged. Thinking of these two words, he tore apart Zhu Yujiao's two trouser legs, revealing two snow-white long legs.

Zhu Yujiao didn't expect Zhu Hongsan to be so unreasonable and shouted loudly. When the surrounding soldiers saw that their commander was going to play hooligan again, they turned around one after another and formed a circle to block Zhu Hongsan and Zhu Yujiao inside.

Zhu Hongsan said: "Don't move, your leg will be amputated after it is not bandaged and suppurated." Don't you want your hands and legs? ”

Zhu Yujiao stopped struggling when she heard this, Zhu Hongsan looked at the wound carefully, it was okay, but the skin was broken. After cleaning with water, take out the bandage and wrap the wound.

This is Zhu Hongsan seeing Zhu Yujiao wearing a pink pants inside her pants, the royal thing is naturally the best, the silk material is very thin, and you can see the skin inside Zhu Yujiao faintly.

Zhu Hong's third index finger was moved, and his color heart rose. couldn't help but use water to reach the middle of Zhu Yujiao's profane pants, and immediately soaked the profane pants with clear water, and the wonderful scene inside was presented in front of Zhu Hongsan's eyes. The beast reached out and touched the middle.

Zhu Yujiao was about to cry out loud and asked, "General, haven't you finished cleaning it up yet?" ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "No, there is still a wound between the legs*, and I am cleaning it." ”

Just as Zhu Hongsan was about to continue cleaning up, someone on the side shouted: "Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law, where are you?" ”

Zhu Hongsan heard Feng Ruoshu's voice, and scolded in his heart: "This old immortal, it's really not the right time to come, and it ruins the good things of the master." ”

But Lao Feng's face can't be withheld. Anyway, the wound has already been bandaged, so let's talk about that later. Zhu Hongsan got up and walked out of the human wall, and saw Feng Ruoshu coming to him.

Now Zhu Hongsan has all the hopes for Feng Ruoshu to escape. The older people get, the more afraid they are of death, and in order to escape for his life, Old Man Feng didn't want any concubines in his family, so he only took his grandson Feng Run and a few henchmen and ran out.

Along the way, I encountered several groups of routs, and saw that they were few and wanted to grab horses. Unexpectedly, the fifty people left behind by Zhu Hongsan were not easy to mess with.

Most of the 200 people in the guard company had experienced the bloody battle of Xinyang, and each of them had the rank of second lieutenant. The lowest time down to the company is the platoon commander, and the combat effectiveness is naturally super strong.

Feng Ruoshu saw that these fifty people had repelled several attacks by hundreds of people face to face, and couldn't help but think: "Zhu Hongsan said that there are 50,000 troops in Guangdong, if they are all like this, it is really invincible in the world. ”

Feng Ruoshu couldn't help but have a lot of confidence in his role as the first assistant.

In fact, Zhu Hongsan's own guard company was established in accordance with the standards of learning from the teaching team of later generations. Each of these 200 people can write four or five hundred simplified characters, and there is basically no problem with daily writing.

In the evening, Zhu Hongsan personally gave brainwashing classes and cultural classes, and he had nothing to say about Zhu Hongsan's loyalty.

Zhu Hongsan plans to expand the army when he returns, and when the time comes, his guard company will be a ready-made grassroots officer. In this way, loyalty and power are assured.

Feng Ruoshu came to Zhu Hongsan and said, "How is it?" What's going on in the capital? ”

Zhu Hongsan sighed and said, "The emperor hanged himself, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know what to do." Now that the city is in chaos, the rogues have set fire to several large granaries in Chaoyangmen. ”

When Feng Ruoshu heard this, he was shocked: "It's all burned? They don't know how many people will starve to death when the food is burned? Zhu Hongsan didn't dare to say that he let him burn it.

At this time, Zhu Yujiao put on her pants and tidied up her clothes and walked out of the crowd, Feng Ruoshu saw that a palace beauty came out from behind, it was the eldest princess Princess Kunyi. Hurriedly bowed and said, "Old minister Feng Ruoshu pays a visit to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Old man Feng has lived for more than sixty years, and he is extremely experienced, and he saw Zhu Hongsan's guards behind him forming a circle, just now Zhu Hongsan and the princess came out inside, and the princess saw that she was also disfigured and discolored. knew that Zhu Hongsan didn't do anything good in it.

Feng Ruoshu said angrily: "Zhu Hongsan, are you still doing this kind of thing at this time?" ”

Zhu Hongsan's face turned red, and he turned around and asked people to take Zhu Yujiao down first.

Seeing Zhu Yujiao walking away, Zhu Hongsan said: "Uncle, this princess was picked up by me in the palace, his hand was cut off by Chongzhen, I think she is really pitiful, no one will help her, she will definitely die in the hands of Liukou." Uncle, don't worry, my relationship with her is absolutely pure between men and women. ”

Feng Ruoshu is not Ma Jiyuan, and he doesn't believe Zhu Hongsan's nonsense at all. He was not angry that Zhu Hongsan saved the princess, but that he was afraid that his niece Ma Xiaofang's status would not be guaranteed. After all, this Zhu Yujiao's status is too high.

Of course, Zhu Hongsan knew what Old Man Feng was afraid of, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, don't worry, Ma Xiaofang is the wife of the next generation." Zhu Hai is the eldest son. ”

Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Feng Ruoshu's face was a little better, now that the world is in chaos, Zhu Hongsan's strong army is needed to dominate the world. His Feng family and Ma family are tied to Zhu Hongsan's chariot, and at this time, other women must not be allowed to take the position of Ma Xiaofang's wife.

Feng Ruoshu thought for a while and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, I miss my grandson Zhu Hai very much, can you let me teach him enlightenment when I arrive in Guangdong?" ”

"This old fellow doesn't seem to be at ease, but it's troublesome to meddle in my heir issue so quickly." Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said, "Of course you can, then it will be troublesome to your uncle." ”

Feng Ruoshu was assured and calmed down, and asked, "The prince really doesn't know what to do?" ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled and whispered, "Don't say it." ”

Feng Ruoshu was relieved when he heard this, what he was most afraid of was that the former master was still alive. Hearing that Chongzhen's father and son were all dead, so that he would not be a second minister but a hero if he helped Zhu Hongsan again.

Thinking of this, Feng Ruoshu was very happy, bowed to Zhu Hongsanyi, and said, "Feng Ruoshu greets the lord." ”
