Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Erosive Situation

Zhao Kang carried the Longquan sword and killed Li Laoguan and Zhou Yuji, jumping and embarrassed, after a while, the two were unharmed, Zhao Kang was tired and panting, Li Laoguan hurriedly reminded: "My lord, don't cut it, your little lady has run away." ”

Zhao Kang looked back at this time, and sure enough, there was no trace of the red lady and her party, so he stopped his movements and sat on the ground panting heavily: "I'm really tired!" ”

Li Laoguan put away his waist knife and ran over to massage Zhao Kang's shoulder. Zhou Yuji said to the soldiers lying on the ground around: "Don't lie on the corpse, get up quickly and clean up your things!" ”

Zhao Kang said: "Brothers, you have worked hard, and when you go back to my house, you will receive an ice cream, a bottle of Coke and a tael of silver." Zhou Yuji, Old Officer Li, the two of you will go to my house for dinner in the afternoon. ”

After listening to Zhao Kang's words, everyone hurriedly got up happily, thinking in their hearts: This money is really easy to earn.

Everyone said in unison: "Thank you Lord Zhao for the reward." ”

As for Li Laoguan and Zhou Yuji, of course, it is not the first time they have gone to Zhao Kang's mansion to eat, they know that the food, wine and meat on Zhao Kang's mansion are absolutely delicious, and there is a rule, if you can't finish eating, you can pack and take it away, every time you pack it, Zhao Kang will always tell the housekeeper Shufen to prepare more portions, although it is nominally called packing, but the packed things are enough for ten people to eat and drink.

For the kind of wine called "Wuliangye" in Zhao Kang's mansion, the two have been coveting it for a long time. Not only is the wine absolutely beautiful, but the more important thing is that after drinking the wine, you can also sell the bottle to the merchants who came over from Shanxi for fifty taels. This kind of thing that can enjoy fine wine and make money at the same time is very popular with everyone.

——————————————————I am the dividing line of evil——————————————————

After the red lady left, Zhao Kang returned to his old life, and continued to live a shameless life with seven wives. But I always feel empty in my heart, and I am very worried about the safety of the red lady. Looking back, I can't help but regret it, these years have been chaotic, and the Central Plains is full of plagues and bandits, and it is difficult for a woman to ensure absolute safety even if her martial arts are strong.

This piece of loess land is still in full swing, Yulin through Baotou to Baiyun Obo, Guihua City, and Yulin to Yan'an, Qingyang railway is being built, the mines and construction sites are still busy, and the harvest season is coming, the northern Shaanxi Plateau is quiet and peaceful, and everyone is full of expectations for the happy life in the future. This originally barren and desolate land has become a paradise in this chaotic era.

Just the exact opposite of the singing and dancing in Yulin City, from the root corner of the city wall to the Jinluan Hall of the Forbidden City, the city of Beijing is full of mourning.

Zhang Sizhi, the new acting cabinet chief assistant and a scholar of Wu Yingdian University, once suffered from ulcers on his face, so his appearance was not correct and he was very ugly. is completely different from his strange zhang, as a typical pedantic scholar, he is a complete mediocrity, even if he becomes the most powerful official in the Ming Dynasty, he is like a clay carved wood sculpture, he doesn't care about everything, every day he just finds a few sour scribes like him to drink and have fun, write poems and lyrics, but he is worried about the situation in front of him.

In the Central Plains, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng have become two thieves who have become a beacon fire, and after Yang Sichang's death, Ding Qirui, who took over his position as supervisor, has made no progress in suppressing bandits.

In the northwest, although Monan Mongolia has been pacified, Fu Zonglong came to report that Zhao Kang, the governor of Yansui, was proud of his merits, supported his troops and respected himself, and did not listen to any orders or dispatches at all.

In the northeast, the situation was even worse, Wang Pu, Tang Tong, Ma Ke, Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen five towns of the general army fled timidly, resulting in Hong Chengchou under the command of 130,000 of the most elite soldiers of the entire Ming Dynasty defeated like a mountain, more than 50,000 people were killed, and more than 50,000 people were nowhere to be found, only Bai Guangen, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen were defeated into Songshan, and Hong Chengchou and his 20,000 remnants guarded Songshan City. At this time, there will be no soldiers to rescue, and if you don't save it, the Guanningjin defense line, which has been operating for decades, will completely collapse. As long as the Shanhai Pass is breached, the city of Beijing and even the entire North China Plain will be directly exposed to the troops of the "Great Qing Dynasty".

In the south, Li Qingshan, a butcher in Shandong, had a dispute with a profiteer who did not sell grain because he was helping the hungry people buy grain, and accidentally beat his bookkeeper to death. Feng Dongping Xiucai Wang Linchen was the military advisor, and the technician Ai Shuangshuang was the generalissimo, rectifying the army's appearance, strengthening military training, and the bandits rapidly developed to tens of thousands. Resisted the officers and soldiers, attacked the state capital, fought successively, and shocked Shandong. At the same time, he also controlled the eight locks along the canal, including Ansan and Hanzhuang, to cut off the north-south water transportation, and all government grain ships that passed through the government paid three-tenths of the rice they carried before they were released. Shocked the government and the opposition.

Emperor Chongzhen took a thick pile of folds and threw them in front of Zhang Sizhi, and asked angrily: "What do you say about these problems!" ”

Zhang Sizhi looks at the nose, the nose and the heart, and the heart looks at all things, every word and every word. Seeing Zhang Sizhi like this, Chongzhen became even more angry, and directly smashed the song fold on his face, and Master Zhang was still in a daze as if he didn't realize it. An expression of "he is strong, he is strong, the breeze blows on the hills, he is horizontal by him, and the bright moon shines on the river".

Seeing that there was indeed no specific solution for Zhang Sizhi, Chongzhen had no choice but to transfer his anger to Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, who had already been frightened and trembling in his legs.

Chongzhen's murderous intent had risen, but at this time, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said to Chen Xinjia in a calm tone: "The governor of the three sides, Fu Zonglong, was personally recommended by you, and Zhao Kang, the governor of Yansui, was also personally asked by you to reuse, and you personally asked Hong Chengchou and Hong Aiqing to fight quickly." Fu Zonglong had no soldiers, no money and no food in Xi'an, Zhao Kang sat in northern Shaanxi and Mongolia was almost divided, and Hong Chengchou was defeated and trapped in Songshan. What do you think should be done to solve the problem at hand? ”

Chen Xinjia was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, the emperor in front of him was a master who killed people like chickens. tremblingly thought: If you want to sweep away Mongolia, who else can you use without Zhao Kang at that time? Do you expect those straw bale weak chickens under Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Xuanda? You don't want Zhao Kang to sit in the position of the governor of the three sides, and you don't want Sun Chuanting, who has just been released from prison, to sit in it, isn't that clear for me to recommend Fu Zonglong? As for urging Hong Chengchou to fight a quick decision, it would be even more wrongful, I was obviously just carrying out your secret will, but now I am asking me to carry the black pot......
