Chapter 385: The Longest Day (1)
(Thank you for the commuter pass "Nickname Already Exists 2"!) I feel a lot better to see someone who can watch it unremittingly! )
Tong Tuchang lay in bed this night and didn't sleep well, I don't know if Zhao Da and they can pass the information to Li Chengdong, what should they do if the operation fails? Tong Tuchang had something in his heart where he could sleep, so he thought about it crankily before he slowly fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Before dawn, the servant of the governor's yamen came to wake up Tong Tuchang, and the governor was invited.
After Tong Tuchang finished grooming, he followed the servant to the main hall, and saw Tong Guonai standing at the door in a military uniform and a long knife on his waist.
Tong Guonai saw Tong Tuchang coming, and said with a smile: "Uncle Clan slept well?" ”
"Hey! I can sleep there when I have something in my heart, and I only slept for half an hour! ”
"It's not bad that you slept for half an hour, but the official didn't sleep all night!"
"Why don't you sleep?"
Tong Guonai sighed and said: "In one night's time, we have to arrange an ambush location, prepare manpower, and contact Luo Chengyao, do you think I can sleep?" ”
Hearing that Tong Guonai contacted Luo Chengyao, Tong Tuchang asked, "My lord, Luo Chengyao has agreed!" ”
Tong Guonai nodded, "These gangs don't have a good thing, Luo Chengyao took the opportunity to raise the price, in addition to taking over Li Chengdong's entire army, he also wanted his official to promote him as the governor of Fujian!" ”
"My lord, if he is the governor of Fujian, won't he want to live above the adults?"
Tong Guonai laughed twice, "Want to climb to the head of this official?" Dream! When Li Chengdong is solved, it will be the end of his Luo Chengyao! ”
Tong Tuchang sighed in his heart, these guys don't have a good thing, Li Chengdong stepped on two boats to benefit on both sides, Luo Chengyao wanted to swallow Li Chengdong's power, Tong Guonai played the trick of a fisherman to make a profit, and he was really like a guinea pig compared to them. Whether this trip to Fujian can gain Tong Guonai's trust or the identity of Tong's family plays a role, or whether Fujian's affairs can be done in Chengdu.
Tong Guonai didn't know what Tong Tuchang was thinking, and when he saw him bowing his head and groaning, he thought he was still worried about whether he could succeed, so he stepped forward and patted Tong Tuchang's shoulder in order to comfort him.
"Don't worry, this official hasn't slept all night, the manpower has been arranged, Li Chengdong's personal soldiers are only 500 people in total, I transferred all 3,000 Han army banners in the city to the gate of the East City, he Li Chengdong will definitely die today."
Tong Tuchang had no choice but to nod his head again and again in favor of Tong Guonai.
"Alright, come on! Bring Mr. Tong a set of armor! ”
"My lord! I.. I still need to go to war! Hearing that Tong Guonai was going to give himself armor, Tong Tuchang asked stumblingly. He didn't want to go to the battlefield, what if the bow and arrow didn't open his eyes and killed him.
"Of course, in my Qing Dynasty, military merit is the heaviest, if you want to make meritorious service, how can you do it without military merit! Come! Put it on him! ”
Tong Tuchang sighed in his heart when he saw the armor brought by the soldiers, it is better in Guangdong, and he can be promoted without military merits with his uncle's care. But now there is no way, the arrow has to be sent on the string, Tong Tuchang can only put on the armor with the help of the soldiers. In fact, Tong Guonai gave him a full set of armor, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it as a literati, so he only gave him a pair of half-body armor. But there are more than 20 pounds in this way, and it is very uncomfortable to wear on the body.
Tong Tuchang walked through this, and after standing for a while, he was covered in sweat.
"My lord, can we go!"
Tong Guonai looked at the sky, and now the sky was white.
"It's almost, the big army has arrived at the East City Gate, let's go now!" After Tong Guonai finished speaking, he led Tong Tuchang and the three hundred governors of the Yamen to protect the army, went out and got on the horse and rushed to the east city gate.
At this time, the sky was white, the city was very quiet, and the horses' hooves made a crisp sound on the stone road. Tong Guonai didn't dare to walk on the cross street, it had to pass through Dongmen Street, and Li Chengdong's mansion was on the edge of Dongmen Street. In order not to let him find out, Tong Guonai had to take the men and horses around the road and follow the fire path on the side of the city wall to the east city gate.
Fuzhou City is a big city in South China, and there was Fuzhou City since the Western Han Dynasty. After thousands of years of construction, Fuzhou has become a big city with a population of more than 500,000 people, and the east city gate is built as several main city gates, and there are urn cities, and there are arrow towers on all sides. Tong Guonai's idea was to wait until Li Chengdong entered the urn city, then put down the broken dragon stone, condescendingly eliminate Li Chengdong's 500 people in the urn city, and finally took his head to clean up the army outside the city.
Because the world is not peaceful now, Fuzhou City opens every hour. Tong Guonai saw that the preparations in the urn city were almost ready, and it was almost time, so he ordered someone to open the city gate, and he took the guards and Tong Tuchang to hide in the arrow tower, waiting for Li Chengdong to arrive.
Li Chengdong left the house on time every day, and it was also nine o'clock, and he had to go to the military camp outside the city to handle official business. In this world, Li Chengdong must firmly grasp the military power in his hands, and the scene when Shi Kefa had no soldiers available in Yangzhou is still in Li Chengdong's heart.
Today, as usual, as soon as the time came, Li Chengdong took his son Li Yuanyin out of the house, and under the protection of the five hundred guards, he went out of the alley and came to Dongmen Street.
Li Chengdong was in a very bad mood today, and yesterday he had a big quarrel with Luo Chengyao. Li Chengdong originally planned to talk to Luo Chengyao and ask him to be careful not to kill people, after all, now that he eats Manchu food, he can't clean up the matter when it gets bigger. Originally, Li Chengdong was kind-hearted, but when he thought of Luo Chengyao, he was furious and said that he had never done this. And questioning Li Chengdong's authority, why must it be my people who did it? Isn't it your Li Chengdong's person?
Li Chengdong scolded angrily, more than half of the people in Henan in the entire military camp are under your Luo Chengyao's hands, and the governors of other people think that they are from Henan, so why can't you Luo Chengyao deny it.
Of course, Luo Chengyao is also very angry, if he does this matter, it would be easy to say, his old Luo is also a scene person, and he did it himself and never played Lai'er, but this matter was really not done by himself. Li Chengdong scolded himself as soon as he came up, did he think that Lao Luo was pinched, who would pinch him?
The meeting ended in this atmosphere, and Li Chengdong went home angrily and scolded that he wanted to lead someone to kill Luo Chengyao. Of course, this is just to say, after all, Luo Chengyao also has tens of thousands of horses under him, and if he really wants to fight, it will not let the governor Tong Guonai benefit in the end.
However, Li Chengdong thought about it afterwards, seeing that Luo Chengyao reacted so violently, maybe he really didn't do it, and there were some Henan people under him, maybe they did it, so today Li Chengdong was going to go to the barracks to interrogate his gang of killers.
Li Yuanyin didn't dare to speak when he saw Li Chengdong's gloomy face, and Li Chengdong ordered Li Yuanyin not to contact Guangdong in the past few days. Originally, Li Chengdong planned to be the town of Fujian, but Guangdong did not agree to his conditions, and only said that he would give an empty title of county king and the official position of governor of Fujian, which was really difficult to satisfy Li Chengdong's appetite, so Li Chengdong also died of the mind of talking with Guangdong and decided to stay on the side of the Manchu Dynasty.
It is understandable for Li Chengdong to think so, after all, his vision is also limited by the times. Like most people in this era, he also believed that the size of a power depended on how many men and how much territory it occupied. Li Chengdong is not optimistic about Zhu Hongsan's method of improving the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, that is, if you can fight again, can you fight ten at a time? Now there are millions of people in the whole country of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and you, Zhu Hongsan, only have 100,000 people, and you can't make big waves at all. Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Chengdong decided to completely dissociate himself from Guangdong.
But his son Li Yuanyin doesn't think so, Li Yuanyin is a hardcore pro-Ming faction here in Li Chengdong, or a pro-Guangdong faction. Seeing that Li Chengdong's attitude towards Guangdong had cooled down, he was very anxious. I happened to be out of the house today, surrounded by my own soldiers, but I was discussing the matter of Guangdong with my father.
"Father, over there in Guangdong..."
Li Yuanyin opened his mouth, and Li Chengdong knew what he was going to say. "Boyu, don't go over there in Guangdong. Immediately cut off contact with that uncle, don't let the governor catch the handle! ”
"But father, Zhu Yu's side...
"Okay, Yin'er, you're almost in your prime, why are you still so childlike. Guangdong now has only one province with 100,000 troops, how can it be compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. We are not the same as before, now there are 50,000 brothers who want to eat with our father and son, and their families are 200,000 people, do you think I can put the safety of these people on the weaker side? Yin'er, you will take my place after I die, don't be rash, you know? ”
Li Yuanyin also knew that what his father said was right, and the safety of more than 200,000 people really cannot be decided rashly. Seeing Li Chengdong say this, Li Yuanyin knew that the matter of peace talks with Guangdong had been reached, and thinking that he couldn't tell Zhu Yu, Li Yuanyin was very depressed.
Seeing Li Yuanyin like this, Li Chengdong knew that he was afraid that he would not explain to Zhu Yu, this son is good at everything, has a clear mind, has the courage to do things, and is completely his ideal successor. But one dissatisfaction is that he is too childlike and too soft-hearted, thinking of this, Li Chengdong feels obliged to teach his son.
"Boyu, I know that you and Zhu Yu have a deep relationship. But you have to focus on the overall situation, you can find your wife again if you don't have it, but if the army is gone, everything is gone. Look at the Shenwu Emperor in Guangdong, not a few years older than you, this guy is really a hero. I heard that his Queen Ma and he were childhood sweethearts who grew up together when they were children. It stands to reason that after Queen Ma was killed by me, he must have shared the sky with me, but did you see it, seeing that we had soldiers in our hands, they were useful to him and immediately pasted them, and the official hats of the prince and the governor flew around. I can guarantee that as long as our father and son have no army and no effect on this guy, our father and son will definitely not have a good death. ”
Although he knew that Li Chengdong was telling the truth, Li Yuanyin still couldn't believe that Zhu Hongsan could make his daughter sad and kill his son-in-law.
"Father, this can't be! Zhu Yu is now pregnant, and Zhu Hongsan can't make his daughter sad if he is not a thing! ”
Seeing that his son still had illusions about Zhu Hongsan, Li Chengdong was just about to continue educating his son, but he didn't expect something big to happen in front of the team!
