The rippling Yangtze River, starting from the plateau, goes all the way down, and is unstoppable in the direction of the oriental sea!

On the river outside Dantu County, Zhenjiang Prefecture, thousands of sails cover the sun, and the giant ship breaks the waves, Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, stands on the embankment against the gust of river wind, and his eyes are full of big ships that are transporting the soldiers of the Hanwei Army, and his heart is like the surging river in front of him, and his heart is surging.

A few days ago, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying led the soldiers of the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion and the Feiyu Battalion to Dantu County, set up a large camp outside the county seat, and collected thousands of ships of all kinds and thousands of people in just a few days.

Subsequently, Liu Yunwei ordered the army to immediately cross the river by boat, and the whole army immediately rushed to Yizhen County on the other side of the river to assemble and station.

By the evening of this day, the soldiers of the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion, who had crossed the river by boat in advance, had basically crossed the Yangtze River, and from tomorrow, Lu Ying would lead the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion to start crossing the river.

At this moment, the fishing boat sang at night, the river breeze gusted, and Lu Ying came to the embankment with a cloak in his hand and draped it on Liu Yunwei's body.

"What's Big Brother thinking?"

"Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky!"

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Wang Bo and Wang Zi'an's preface to the Pavilion of King Teng can be described as a famous story through the ages, in just fourteen words, the beautiful scenery of the sunset on the Yangtze River will appear in front of you!" ”

Lu Ying looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and also exclaimed: "Yes! The scenery of the largest river in China is really extraordinary! ”

Liu Yunwei's eyes were a little lost at this time, as if he remembered something, and said: "It has been sixteen years since we went north to Liaodong in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and we have also changed from eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys to thirty-year-old prime. Over the years, the bloody battles have been one after another, and the soldiers under our command are like the Yangtze River in front of them, changing one handful after another, and hundreds of thousands of hot-blooded sons and daughters are buried in the green mountains! The sixty family members who rushed to Liaodong with us back then are no longer alive. Future generations will remember me, the prince of Zhenguo, and they will also remember you and the fierce generals who broke them, but will anyone remember the hundreds of thousands of heroic souls who died in battle? ”

Lu Ying stood aside and listened to Liu Yunwei quietly, his eyes were already red, and tears had moistened his eyes.

"Big brother, I think the descendants of Huaxia will remember them, without hundreds of thousands of soldiers who spilled blood on the battlefield, how could they come from the great martial arts of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Yunwei nodded, as if he was talking to himself, and said: "I can still remember the names and appearances of those sixty family members, and I still remember the situation when we traveled thousands of miles north together, as if it happened yesterday." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yunwei smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you think I'm old?" I was touched by the scene and remembered these things. ”

"Big brother, where are the words? The eldest brother is now in the prime of life, and he has to take his brothers to sweep the desert and conquer North Korea! Didn't the eldest brother say that after destroying the Manchu Qing Dynasty one day, he would take his brothers to the west, all the way to the west of the Western Regions, to reproduce the martial arts of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and let the Ming Dynasty shock the wilderness and eight wildernesses! Big brother forgot! ”

"Haha!"

Listening to Lu Ying's words, Liu Yunwei looked up to the sky and laughed, and a surge of pride instantly erupted on his body: "Of course I haven't forgotten!" Look at it, when the desert is cleared and the Korean country is conquered, I will lead the army to the west with my brothers, and I will take you over the snow-capped mountains and across the desert for thousands of miles! Our brothers want to fight all the way to Beihai and take a look at the place where Su Wu is stationed; Our brothers will fight until Hengross, and the shame of the defeat of the sages will be snowed; Our brothers will go all the way to Persia and recover the entire Anxi capital of the Tang Dynasty; Our brothers want to make the four seas free of dust and the whole world full of Han style! ”

"Good! What a world without dust, the world is Han style! ”

Lu Ying only felt that his blood was boiling at this time, and his whole person couldn't help but tremble.

Lu Ying understood in her heart that Liu Yunwei's bold words were not just feelings, but serious! Liu Yunwei really wanted to lead the Han family sons and daughters to fight from the bottom of his heart, so that all the Hu clans from all over the world would submit to the emperor!

With such a big battle and such a meritorious feat, how dissatisfied and enthusiastic Lu Ying, who is a martial artist, is excited!

"Big brother! When the soldiers return triumphantly from Mongolia and Korea, we will write to Your Majesty to march westward! Now that the DPRK and China no longer have any worries, and the treasury has never been as full as it is now, the soldiers will definitely be able to make contributions and go down in history under the leadership of the eldest brother! ”

Liu Yunwei also laughed with a flushed face, as if he had no distractions, and had seen the banners of the Han family all over the world.

Suddenly, Liu Yunwei shook off his cloak on his shoulders, raised his arms and shouted loudly: "The sun and the moon shine, and the rivers go are all Han soil!" Yes! ”

Above the river, the echo is slow. As the sun sets, the shadows of the people are gone.

Two days later, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying led all 70,000 soldiers to cross the Yangtze River, and after a short stay in Yizhen County, they went straight north. The army passed through Datongshan, Yeshan, Tianchang County, and Bei'e County all the way, and finally arrived at Baoying County in Yangzhou Prefecture.

From Baoying County in Yangzhou Prefecture to the north is Huai'an Mansion, and then go down, it is the Shandong Political Envoy.

Seeing that the soldiers were running around for days, Liu Yunwei was ready to rest in Baoying County for a day, and then rushed to Shandong to make another stop.

On the night of this day, Lu Ying came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and saw that Liu Yunwei was studying the topographic map of the Mongolian tribes and the Korean country, so he said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that the good days of the Mongolian Tartars and the Korean Second Tartars are over, and the eldest brother is serious, haha!" ”

Liu Yunwei raised his head and said with a smile: "If you don't take it seriously, it's not okay, it's about the lives of the soldiers and the success or failure of the war, how can it be child's play." ”

After a few words of laughter, Lu Ying's face turned pale and said, "Big brother, there is something I want to ask." ”

"Say!"

"Big brother, before the army goes north, let's find a chance to go back to our hometown in Sichuan."

Liu Yunwei froze for a moment when he heard this, then nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "I am the commander of the army, and I can't leave without permission!" At this time, let Lord Yuan Mingxuan go back on my behalf. ”

"Big brother! How can this be replaced! ”

Liu Yunwei closed his eyes and said no more.

Lu Ying knew in his heart that if Liu Yunwei really fulfilled his promise to Emperor Chongzhen, I am afraid that he would not go south again in this life, and the eldest brother would no longer be able to go to the graves of the old general, the young general, his wife and sister-in-law to offer comfort!

"Big brother, why don't I take the army north slowly, and the big brother will go back quickly?"

Liu Yunwei shook his head and asked in a deep voice, "How many months is it now?" ”

"July."

"How long will it take for the army to prepare for the expedition?"

"It can be as short as a few months, as long as a year."

Liu Yunwei sighed and said: "Winter will be in a few months, whether it is the Mongolian steppe or the Korean country, it will be frozen for thousands of miles, snowy everywhere, the army will not be able to conquer, and the soldiers can only go north until the beginning of spring!" How long is it between now and the beginning of spring next year? Only eight months away! If the imperial court wants to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops, raise a huge amount of money and food, and recruit millions of people, will it take eight months? ”

When Lu Ying heard this, he wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Liu Yunwei waving his hand.

"From here back to my hometown in Sichuan, it takes a month to go back and forth, and I don't have a month, not ten days! Let Master Yuan go back for me! ”

After speaking, the Chinese army fell into silence in the big tent, and was speechless for a long time.

A day later, Liu Yunwei and Lu Ying led the army to the north again, and before the army set out of the camp, Liu Yunwei wrote a letter in his own hand, sending Ye Bushu to Tongzhou City to hand it over to Yuan Mingxuan.

As early as January, Liu Yunwei had already moved the main institutions of the shogunate back to Tongzhou City, with the exception of the branches opened in Liaodong, such as the Zuo Division, the City Ship Division, and the Tun Shou Division.

The capital, the imperial study.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the thick stack of lists on the bookcase, and his face was extremely embarrassed. Those lists are the details of the stolen money handed over by Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo.

Emperor Chongzhen never thought that the Donglin Party, which has always prided itself on being a gentleman, turned out to be a huge greed, and Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, killed for a while in the 18 provinces of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, and the cumulative amount of stolen money seized was about 300 or 400 million taels of silver, which was more than the comprehensive treasury income of the Ming Dynasty in 50 years!

Emperor Chongzhen gasped, his chest rose and fell violently, and Wang Chengen on the side was also silent when he saw this, for fear that Emperor Chongzhen would vent this monstrous anger on himself.

After a while, Wang Chengen saw that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be discouraged, so he tried to ask: "Your Majesty, the Zhenguo Gong sent people to send more than 1,000 criminal officials, do you think it will be handed over to the three law divisions for commercial crimes?" ”

"Bang!"

Emperor Chongzhen stood up suddenly, and kicked the bookcase in front of him regardless of the royal dignity, and shouted loudly almost crazy: "Kill!" Kill them all! ”

"But Your Majesty!"

Before Wang Chengen finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen slapped him and roared angrily: "If it weren't for these hypocrites who have brought disaster to the country and the people, why would I be here!" Not only will I kill these bastards, but I will also destroy the nine clans! Message! All the prisoners sent by the Zhenguo Gong will be punished on the spot, and the nine clans will be punished! ”

Wang Chengen looked at him in horror because he was too annoyed, his already somewhat hideous face nodded again and again, and he ran out to make a plan.

At this time, Wang Chengen was very sure that if he dared to say one more word, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely cut himself without hesitation!

Two days later, more than 1,000 Donglin rebels sent by Zhenguo Gong, as well as tens of thousands of rebel family members, were sent to the entrance of the vegetable market, and in front of tens of thousands of people in the capital who came to watch, they were collectively beheaded for public display!

After the news spread, the whole country was shocked, the Ming Dynasty was full of joy and thunder, hundreds of millions of people praised the wisdom of Emperor Chongzhen, the Zhenguo Gong Shenwu, and the civil and military generals everywhere were all broken, and the atmosphere of the Ming officialdom even changed, and the wind of corruption was much less in a flash.
