Chapter 353: Zhu Xianzhen's Defeat Private Discussion Inner House
On June 23, the 400,000 officers and soldiers in Zhuxian Town, south of Kaifeng, finally appeared, or finally admitted that they were dead in the depths of the city, after being ostriches for a long time.
In the past few days, everyone has been cowering in the camped town, and they don't even do the sentinel reconnaissance, but they are hypnotizing themselves in the village. This morning, the soldiers who went out to fetch water came back and said that there was no water to be desired, and the battalion officers were furious and beat these lazy fellows, and a few fiery battalion officers even chopped off their ranks and hung them up, and a few good-tempered ones also pulled these boys to parade around the camp with arrows in their faces. The army is pressing, the big guys are very depressed, these bastards dare to be lazy and not move military law, so is there still military discipline at all?
However, the second wave of people sent out to fetch water also came back and said that there was no water available, and that things were abnormal and that they were demons, and the battalion officials were not easy to concentrate on themselves, of course, they did not dare to send people to investigate by themselves, so they had to report to the marshal and the governor. After a lot of grinding, the handsome man and the governor reluctantly drew more than 100 candidates from their own town standards and governors, and gave them a reward and let them go out to investigate.
Of course, the detective only went out for a mile, and then came back on horseback to report the news. The river where the army draws water has been cut off by the civil engineering work of the camp, and all the places around it that can retreat have been dug deep and wide trenches by the camp, and the army has become a turtle in the urn.
The camp closest to the east was the battalion of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, which was also in contact with the strongest intruding troops, and built several forts in front of the intruding battalion, put cannons on the forts, and bombarded the barracks of officers and soldiers every day.
The soldiers and horses in the hands of Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, the strongest is the so-called car artillery battalion, and the firearms can be called powerful. However, in this battle, the shortcomings of the past are also undoubtedly evident this time, for example, the enemy is far away from the firing range, so he starts shooting nervously, and fires recklessly until the ammunition on the position is exhausted, and then nervously stops.
But the result of this engagement. It's just a waste of ammunition, on June 21. The ammunition in the artillery camp has been depleted.
After eliminating the threat, the artillery that broke into the camp began to fire at Yang Wenyue's camp without any scruples, and Yang Wenyue's subordinates, who suffered heavy casualties, had no other way but to retreat.
But the army of 400,000 was piled up in such a narrow area, and if Yang Wenyue's Baoding soldiers and horses moved, how could there be any space for him to move, and the entire position began to be chaotic. Many soldiers' hearts. is often looking forward to the invasion of the army to get in, and it is better to be a hundred than to suffer such an immortal crime.
On June 22, the fast horses that changed horses for 30 miles along the way were rushed from Guide Mansion to the camp of the Chuang army in the west of Zhuxian Town, and there was no change in the Shandong soldiers and horses.
After getting the news, Li Zicheng and Cao Cao Luo Rucai, who got the news, were finally relieved, and ordered out one by one, and the decisive battle was today, with a radius of dozens of miles and horses, hundreds of thousands of troops kept moving to the predetermined combat position. Among the strikers who struck the first blow to the enemy, Liu Zongmin, the commander of the battalion, who was the most capable of fighting in the camp. and Yang Chengzu, the most capable of fighting the ground in Cao Cao's battalion, led the backbone soldiers and horses to the front, which was also a vigorous rising military group. Single-mindedly daring to fight, in stark contrast to the already twilight group on the other side.
On June 23. In the east of Zhuxian Town, Ming officers and soldiers. Let Emperor Chongzhen almost empty the army north of the Huai River 400,000 officers and soldiers. Sit, eat, and feed. It has been entrenched in this Zhongzhou land for nearly half a year. It is claimed to be 400,000 officers and soldiers in a decisive battle with the army of displaced people. There was almost no fight with the camp. Stunned, he let the army of displaced people come and go in Henan. Set it up with ease.
In the end, although it was the officers and soldiers who chose the battlefield of Zhuxian Town. However, the Li and Luo coalition forces chose the most appropriate time and direction to start the battle.
Prepare for the war. The officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are even more like stupid pigs. It was just a couple of attempted attacks. Then let the other party cut off the waterway. Dig long trenches. Fortifications were erected. Let the other party calmly encircle himself here in Zhu Xianzhen. It's a dead place.
In addition to the Shandong soldiers and horses. The imperial court had already mobilized less reinforcements. Shandong soldiers and horses did not send troops for various reasons.
On June 23. was encircled in Zhuxian Town, and the local officials and soldiers. And at the time of the Battle of Matsuyama. Blocked by the Tartars in the pine hills, the reaction is exactly the same.
The morale of the army is floating. In the early morning of June 23. Zuo Liangyu, the general of the flat thief, led the army to flee first. Immediately followed by the general soldier Yang Guozheng. The two divisions of the general soldier Tiger and Dawei also dispersed. Inspector Ding Qirui's soldiers and horses also followed the rout.
The noise in the camp in the middle of the night is a taboo, not to mention such a desperate escape, the Ming army, which is known as 400,000, collapsed in an instant.
At this time, the dawn appeared, and the Li and Luo coalition forces heard the movement on the opposite side, although they were preparing for a big battle, a decisive battle, and a bloody battle, they suddenly got the fruits of victory, which surprised everyone, and they were even worried that it was the official army to lure the enemy. But everyone is an old military officer, and at a glance it can be seen that this categorically cannot be faked, and the commander gave an order in the tent, and the troops that had been prepared for a long time were directly scattered, and the cavalry who broke into the camp took the lead, and the brigade followed, like a huge wave in the sea, and swept towards the Ming officers and soldiers on the opposite side.
The Ming official army, which was already flustered, how could they withstand the pressure of breaking into the camp behind it like the sky was falling apart, and it couldn't support it, and it completely collapsed, like a mass of scattered sand.
The troops of the general Zuo Liangyu ran the earliest, the fastest, and reached the front of the deep ditch first, and the cavalry dismounted one after another, preparing to climb through the deep ditch.
But the people have not climbed much, the troops behind the rout rushed over, at this time the offensive of the camp has moved, the officers and soldiers who arrived behind are already frightened, what formation of the team is no longer there, as a result, the people in front of the ditch have not climbed out, they are drowned by the people behind, the army tramples on each other, the soldiers draw their weapons and cut down the people around them, so as not to be trampled into flesh, but all this is in vain......
The people behind were filled in the ditch by the people who were further behind, row after row, and the so-called former servants followed, and they went to their deaths, but I am afraid that it was nothing more than that, and the trenches that were a few feet deep and a few feet wide were soon filled with the corpses of people and horses, and the people behind did not care about the ease of any colleagues and comrades, and stepped on the ditch. But there is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back. The frustrated officers and soldiers did not have the slightest will to fight, and the scattered troops became pigs and sheep who were wantonly slaughtered by the camp.
Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, fled all the way south under the escort of three or four personal soldiers, and all the banners and seals were lost, and Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue, Hu Dawei, Yang Guozheng and other civil and military officials also brought a few, dozens of personal entourage. The outlaw fled to the south of Henan.
The Li and Luo coalition forces followed behind to cover up and kill, and chased hundreds of miles south from Zhuxian Town, completely defeating and defeating the 400,000 officers and soldiers.
By the end of June, the Li and Luo combined forces had captured more than 12,000 horses, countless heavy military assets, and many officers and soldiers had surrendered directly to the territory of the Li and Luo combined forces, and suddenly the army of displaced people had expanded from 1 million before the war to 1.2 million.
The imperial court had hoped that this battle would stabilize the situation in the world, and if not achieve a decisive victory, it would also curb the growing ferocity of the exile army.
For Li Meng. An army of one million displaced people and 400,000 officers and soldiers, regardless of their combat effectiveness, is a problem. Let these two troubles consume each other first, and pick the cheap on the side, the sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits, which is indeed a good deal.
Having said that, I just don't know if the Huang Taiji outside the gate also thinks so. It is estimated that the idea is similar.
But looking at it now, the decisive battle of Zhuxian Town is completely a joke, and the performance of the Ming official army is even more a joke, it is completely a pig and sheep that encloses themselves in the fence to be slaughtered.
After this battle, the strength of the Li and Luo coalition troops did not weaken in the slightest, but because of the capture of the Ming army's military assets and horses, as well as a large number of veteran soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to join, the strength increased greatly.
These old soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really like chickens and dogs in the official army, and that is because they have no pay and no food. Join the camp and Cao Cao's military camp. Because of their combat experience and skills, they can be treated much better than in the officers and soldiers. It is also a much better combat effectiveness.
In troubled times, what is the purpose of everyone buying their lives to fight, isn't it just to have a full stomach and get a few pennies, the officers and soldiers can't do it, naturally they have no combat effectiveness, and they can barely do it when they break into the camp, so they naturally fight with their lives.
"The emperor issued an order four days ago to pardon and release the former Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui who was in the edict prison, worship him as the supervisor, replace Ding Qirui, who is currently in Runing City, transfer the Shanxi general soldier Xu Dingguo, and 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp to Henan to help the emergency, and at the same time send a messenger to arrest Ding Qirui and put him in prison, Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, cut his post and listened to the staff, and the general soldier Yang Guozheng abandoned the city and beheaded him."
In early July, the city of Jinan was already quite hot, and after Li Meng finished training outside the city every day, he was in the water pavilion on the edge of Daming Lake to deal with government affairs, and the place was cool.
After the Beijing division issued the order, Di Bao and Tang Bao were often systematically abandoned because of the Daming Post Station, and could not be delivered to various places in a timely manner, because of this, Shandong saw a transmission system between the Beijing Division and Jinan in the name of Lingshan Commercial Bank with the commercial bank and the carriage and horse shop as the node.
Ensure that the news of Jingshi can reach Jinan City and Li Meng's hands as soon as possible.
With the water and the wind, the pavilion and the water pavilion, although it is hot outside, it is still quite comfortable in the water pavilion, but the few people present have no comfortable looks, and they are all solemnly listening to Yuan Wenhong reading the newspaper.
This recitation is also one of the basic skills of the scribe, Yuan Wenhong's voice is clear, but he can read clearly, in addition to Li Menghe Sun Chuanting with an iron mask, Wang Hai and Tang Er, the two cronies and generals, are also staying here.
I don't know how many times I have said the sentence "Da Ming is over", but by now, Sun Chuanting has been practicing quite calmly, just listening quietly there.
Li Meng's mood now is not as frustrated as it was back then, but when he heard the express report of the battle situation and the results of the handling, he still couldn't help but have a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly:
"It's really useless waste, in vain since Ben Shuai had such high expectations for the officers and soldiers of Zhuxian Town from beginning to end, but he didn't fight, he fled all the way, joke, what a joke."
This was said up and down Shandong, that is, he could only say it, and the others just listened, although the civil and military generals of the Jiaozhou battalion were loyal to Shandong and not to the imperial court.
But at present, after all, he still has the title of an official army, and hearing that there is such a big defeat next to his family, it is always a bit sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and it is also quite interesting.
After Li Meng finished speaking, he glanced at the room, and he was just emotional, since the urgent report from Henan Kuaima arrived in Shandong, the battle of the millions of displaced people and 400,000 officers and soldiers he was looking forward to was meaningless. At present, the combined forces of Li and Luo have swelled to this point, which is really troublesome.
This trouble is also related to oneself. If you want to make yourself ruthless, the camp and Cao Cao's troops will not have the scale they have today.
After Li Meng finished speaking, Tang Er, the commander of the horse team, saw Li Meng looking over, hurriedly stepped forward with his fists clenched, and said:
"Dashuai, there is nothing abnormal at the border, and now the Jiaozhou battalion horse team has been fully mobilized. Everywhere the sentinels were checked, and wherever they were handed over to Shandong, Guide and Xuzhou, the thieves' soldiers and horses were carefully avoided. ”
Yuan Wenhong immediately said:
"Li Chuang and Cao Cao's thieves are currently stationed thirty miles outside Kaifeng City, and the gate of Kaifeng City has not dared to open, but the thieves are just standing still, and they don't know what to do next."
Li Meng patted his forehead, stood up from the chair, walked to the window, looked at Daming Lake rather depressed, and said coldly:
"We'll have to wait. But this time, it seems that there is no such cheap thing in the world waiting for us to pick up, and it should take the effort. Not a penny is also saved, Yuan Wenhong, write it down, Chen Liu, the general of the Huaiyang Army, led the army to attack, so as to kill and injure the thieves in front of him. Don't have to keep your hands, wait for the arrangement to be sent over quickly! ”
After writing over there, Sun Chuanting took a rough look, and after Li Meng stamped it, Yuan Wenhong hurriedly took it out, and Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice behind him:
"Dashuai, Kaifeng City cannot be lost, the thieves are stationed thirty miles outside the city, and they also want to wait and see. Our Shandong soldiers and horses should make a gesture at this time. Give deterrence, if the thief is stubborn. A war at this time is not a bad thing, it is better than being really uncontrollable in the future! ”
Li Meng nodded, turned to Wang Hai and said:
"Xiaohai, you now send someone to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau to ask, and ask them to re-inventory and clean up the boats they bought and built during this time, and they may be used at any time."
received an order over there, and Wang Hai also walked out of the door, anyway, it was the marshal who gave the order. It is normal for these high-ranking generals to run errands, Sun Chuanting has been gently tapping the stack of papers in front of him with his fingers, and said slowly:
"Marshal, there is no need to shrink back the soldiers and horses in the south and the north, the land of the north and south of the river is the depth and rear of our Shandong, and it must be managed well."
Li Meng said slowly:
"Ma Gang will not come back if he goes there, the Qingzhou Army plus the Huaiyang Army, the entire Nanzhili is also vertical and horizontal enough, and it will definitely move there, but this side still has to wait, they are all scattered, at this time there are only 70,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong, except for the minimum of the town guarding the place, 50,000 soldiers can only block one direction."
With the analysis and narration, Li Meng's mood gradually calmed down, he sat back in his chair, and said:
"Taking advantage of the Caoyun and Jindi to make the finances much more comfortable, Shandong will recruit 30,000 troops this year, so that the Qingzhou army in Huaiyang does not have to be ready to come back to support every moment."
As he was speaking this, he heard a soldier outside preaching in a loud voice:
"Dashuai, someone asks to see you!"
Anyone who is rumored outside that it is "someone asks to see" and does not explain their names and identities, that is, several members of the Shandong Salt Gang are such a report, which is also to avoid outsiders in the house.
It has been almost a month since Li Meng sent someone to arrest and inquire about it, and Li Meng's understanding of this matter is nothing more than a confirmation, and it doesn't matter much.
The order came out, the armed salt dings in various places, the wealthy families close to them, as well as the Lingshan Commercial Bank, and the local institutions of the Shandong Salt Gang, all fed back the news, and since those several dragnet-like inspections, no one has mixed into the ground of Shandong from the port to carry out activities.
Especially in a poor place like Shandong, except for Jining Prefecture, Jinan Fucheng, Linqing and other rich places, there are no people from the south who come here, and it is quite conspicuous to want to blend in, and it is easy to be distinguished.
Since no one has mixed in as a spy, the Zheng family and the Tartars are not so urgent, the strength of the Jiaozhou camp on the sea is very weak, and it can't stop the Zheng family from running the business on the sea, and the two sides still have a large amount of private salt business, even if they want to clean it up, they are not in a hurry at this time.
Huang Ping walked into the room with the news he heard, the reason why he came so late and brought it over in person was because the news he heard was really shocking, and he couldn't report it casually, but had to go through various aspects. Confirm the news.
That Zheng San is not a character of three chastity and nine spirits, and the other party is holding physical evidence to coerce on the one hand. On the one hand, there is a large amount of gold and silver to seduce, and he also thinks very clearly about how to choose.
Shandong Salt Gang has also been operating in Lingshan Private Port for many years, and there are some other relationships on the ship and on the ground, so let this Zheng San get on the ship and inquire again, and use these relationships to investigate, after nearly ten days of information collection, and someone specially sorted it out. After confirming that there could be no new news, it was Huang Ping who personally sent it to Li Meng.
"Boom" sounded, Sun Chuanting slammed off the tea bowl in his hand, listening to Huang Ping there tell a series of information from this period of time, at first he didn't feel anything, hearing that the court sent someone to negotiate peace, with Huang Ping's narration, Sun Chuanting's anger became more and more irrepressible.
In the end, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, regardless of Li Mengshang's side. was so angry that he dropped the tea bowl in his hand.
He stood up and gritted his teeth fiercely and scolded:
"Confused, confused, that Tartar is a tiger wolf. Cut his own flesh and blood to feed the beasts, how can there be a day to be fed, this Chen Xinjia is a traitor, a traitor, the above ...... ...... above"
Sun Chuanting's last few words of "above" and "above" struggled for a long time and still didn't say it. sat down on the chair in a gloomy manner, and didn't care that there were still outsiders in the room, so he directly took off the iron mask, covered his face with his hands, raised his head and sighed, and was speechless for a while.
Ma Shaoyu, an envoy sent by a minister surnamed Chen, can be sent by the DPRK and China to envoy the minister surnamed Chen, needless to say, only Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, with the system of the Ming Dynasty. Peace talks about something that has not been done in 300 years. How can it be that this military department can run the place, it must be instructed by someone.
Who is the one who commanded him? Who else could there be besides Emperor Chongzhen.
No matter how Sun Chuanting plans in Shandong, after all, he has been loyal to the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty for decades, and Emperor Chongzhen is so supreme that even if he knows who is the person behind this matter, he still can't scold him.
Thousands of years of inheritance, no matter what the situation in the world is, no matter how chaotic and destructive, the responsibility is rarely borne by the emperor, and it has always been the responsibility of traitors, villains, and demons.
Zhao Gou killed Yue Fei, that was Qin Hui's slander and treacherous schemes, Emperor Jianwen cut the feudal domain and provoked the battle of Jingjing, that was the slander of pure Confucianism such as Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, the change of Yingzong's civil fort, that was because of the manipulation of the great eunuch Wang Zhen, Emperor Zhengde was messing around, that was the Eight Tigers and Qian Ning for evil, Emperor Jiajing was mediocre, that was Yan Song's manipulation, as for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it was Wei Zhongxian manipulating, as for this Chongzhen year, Wen Tiren, Qian Qianyi, and Xue Guoguan are all great traitors in the eyes of the world, if there were no him, Emperor Shengming would have been dictatorial and would have been peaceful in the world. Haiyan River is clear.
After all, the emperor is not responsible, I didn't see the Ruan brothers in the "Water Margin" script rocking the boat out, singing the song to cut off the heads of traitors and send them to Zhao Wang's family.
No matter what the situation is, no matter what he does, the emperor is always innocent, at most he is an unknown person, but the emperor, as the supreme leader of the entire empire, represents the greatest power, and he is responsible for everything below, including the actions of his courtiers.
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The emperor enjoyed such great power, and he also had to bear the same great responsibility.
As long as he sits in the position of emperor, he has no reason to shirk, he is responsible for his subjects, if he can't do this.
His empire is in chaos and is invaded by external enemies, that is his responsibility, to talk about what the destiny is like this, and the evil is the way, it is a joke.
Although the truth is so, the concept of the supremacy of imperial power has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Xizong, is such a debaucherous and unscrupulous figure, and there is a comment in the "Book of Tang" called "The appearance is very great".
Not to mention Emperor Chongzhen, who has always had the name of "diligence", after Sun Chuanting's traitorous ministers finished speaking, the so-called "above" in the back must correspond to the "faint monarch", but he couldn't say it anyway.
Not only Sun Chuanting, who is the person of this era, but even Li Meng has been in awe of the emperor and imperial power at the beginning of this era.
Starting from the salt sellers, with the protection of the eunuchs in Nanjing, they walked up step by step and walked to the position of the general of the four prefectures, which were all cheap and beneficial in the system, and naturally wanted to do it for a long time. It's also good to be a wealthy and peaceful general.
But when it came to the small battle in Qihe County, Jinan Prefecture, Li Meng did not have a friendly army by his side. is completely fighting alone, looking like a wolf and a tiger, completely different from the Tartar cavalry described in modern film and television media, Li Meng suddenly woke up.
He realized that in this era, he was about to face darkness and destruction, and if he didn't take the initiative to survive, he would definitely follow this era to destruction.
And what do you want to do. If you are still in this system, even if you are arrogant and domineering, but you are still restrained everywhere, then Zuo Liangyu does not abide by the law, to what extent is he arrogant, but in the general direction, he will be led by the nose by the imperial court, and the battle in Zhu Xianzhen has almost consumed ninety percent of his strength, but he still has to fight.
You can't expect this system to help you in any way, you can only be unique and take a completely different path.
In the eyes of the people of this era. Li Meng can't escape the hat of careerist no matter what, but in order for himself to survive in this troubled world, he can avoid the enslavement of barbarians for this nation. In order to avoid the darkness of the next few hundred years for the whole of China, this infamy will be borne.
Sun Chuanting wanted to scold but didn't scold, maybe it was the origin of Li Meng's ambition......
In a game of chess, Li Meng didn't play well, he was naturally quite depressed, but for his family in Jinan Mansion. It's a pleasure indeed.
It is rare for a man to be at home when he is out of the war, and the family is always happy, especially Li Hong, the child is a little older, and he is even more crazy, the so-called deep relationship between father and son is not much to talk about, but Li Meng gave him enough freshness, and every time the father and son meet, Li Hong is very excited.
But such a status. The so-called private affairs are official affairs. Not to mention, Li Meng's relatives still have the identity of an inner tent. After dinner, the old eunuch Liu Fulai was old and easily tired, so after chatting a few words, he went to the back house to rest.
Mu Yunyao accompanied Li Mengdi this night, the two parties are strictly newlyweds, but when they get along, they already feel like an old husband and wife.
For Mu Yunyao, being able to talk with Li Meng and get along for a while is happiness......
The topic of conversation made Li Meng a little crying and laughing, the old husband and wife are a description, but Mu Yunyao is not very old after all, and sometimes she doesn't know what is public and what is private, or she thinks that this is Li Meng's private matter.
"This morning, Commander Huang sent someone to send a copy of the matter over there in Jiaozhou, and Sister Gu also listened to them through the screen."
Mu Yunyao smiled, but what he said was a terrible thing, Li Meng's arms trembled, and he walked around the house, which was also a relaxing activity before going to the military training and parade during the day and going to bed. Hearing Mu Yunyao say this, Li Meng shook his head and said as he walked:
"Since there is a chance over there, we must make a fuss, let them see how this leader is doing nonsense, and how he has lost the face of our Ming!"
Li Meng said with a smile, but suddenly thought of a question, this question sometimes Li Meng himself will remember, but he is reluctant to say it, and now it is the bedroom of the inner house, which can be regarded as a first-class private place, and the husband and wife have nothing to shy away from, Li Meng stopped, turned around and asked as if jokingly:
"Yun Yao, what I've done all these years, don't you have any ideas in your heart?"
Mu Yunyao raised her head, her face was slightly surprised, it looked very strange Li Meng asked such a question, and when she saw Li Meng's serious expression, she said with a little puzzlement:
"Over the years with my eldest brother, Yun Yao has always been very happy in my heart, and I can still help my eldest brother do things, that is, what do you want?"
Life and death are snatched, and the power is in hand, but Li Meng feels that it is really difficult to speak at this time, but there are some things that are still better to talk about, and after hesitating, Li Meng opened his mouth again and said:
"But your surname is Zhu ......"
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yunyao, who was worried in her heart, finally knew what Li Meng was going to say, but she was just stunned, and then she smiled like a flower, and said in a low voice:
"Big brother, Yun Yao's surname is Li, and her surname was Mu before marrying her eldest brother."
The girl's words are very indifferent, as if she is saying something natural, after marrying into her husband's family, she has her husband's surname, and now she is naturally surnamed Li, but before that. Everyone understood what was going on, Li Meng heard Mu Yunyao speak softly. I also saw the firmness of the girl's eyes under the lamp.
At this time, he suddenly felt that something soft in his heart was touched, and he understood the girl's intentions, so he was not ready to continue the topic.
Mu Yunyao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, said faintly:
"The parents and brothers of the concubine, although they have no food and clothing, they are confined in Kaifeng City in this life, and they have no freedom. I remember when the concubine was a child, my father often said that he was willing to be a green-shirted scholar and travel all over the world with a sword, he had been reluctant to stay in the house, and he would take us to the city to look out whenever he was free. ”
The girl over there told her that in such a situation, Li Meng could only sit beside Mu Yunyaodi. Listening to the girl's confession, I felt a little remorseful for the recklessness of what Fang had just asked.
This Zhou king is an outlier among the vassal kings of the late Ming Dynasty, in real history. Compared with the stupid behavior of King Fu and King Lu who were unwilling to spend a penny to labor the army and wait until the city was broken and killed, King Zhou of Kaifeng can already be called impassioned.
Every time there was a danger in Kaifeng City, Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, always tried his best to help defend the city, and killed a thief. A bounty of fifty taels.
And mobilize Ding Zhuang of the palace to go to the city to help defend, Kaifeng City is the third largest city in the world, the residents in the city are known as millions, every time the displaced people attack, there are many people in the city Ding Zhuang organized to go to the city, which is also the reason why Wang Ping has accepted the common people with kindness and righteousness this week.
And the likes of King Fu in Henan, naturally not the same day, this year, the princes who are better to the people. It's really an outlier of the Ming Dynasty.
"Look at the news from Lingshan Commercial Bank and Shandong Salt Gang. The concubine is often woken up in the middle of the night, even if the father and brother of the concubine are not in that position. Now there can be a lifetime of wealth and glory, and in that position, it is intimidated by millions of thieves every day, in case the city is broken......"
Having said this, Mu Yunyao was already emotional, but I thought that this girl should be often frightened about this matter, Li Meng couldn't see his woman's appearance, he was a little flustered, Mu Yunyao choked up and said:
"The husband has great powers, and the concubine only wants the concubine to be safe and sound, leave the city of Kaifeng and stay in Shandong."
The girl under the lamp stared at Li Meng with big eyes with tears, that kind of pleading and mourning was really unbearable to refuse, Li Meng shook his head, reached out to touch Mu Yunyao's face, and replied gently:
"Don't worry, I will send someone to pick them up, by my side, the name may not be as prominent as before, but it is not difficult to eat and drink."
Hearing Li Meng's promise, Mu Yunyao burst into tears and laughed, Mu Yunyao is a stunning beauty, with a smile and a smile of her own, since she got married, the girl began to work hard to become dignified and steady, and tonight she re-showed that lively appearance, which is indeed extremely charming.
Even the old husband and wife made Li Meng a little stunned, stared at by his own man, Mu Yunyao was a little shy and lowered his head slightly.
Li Meng reacted to one thing, there is a way to marry and obey her husband, and follow her father at home. There is no daughter in Hengzhi who can be the lord of the land, not to mention such a big thing, that Zhou Wang is the world's first-class and noble title, how can you say that you don't want it, the whole family moved here, how big a deal it is, not to mention whether the local government and the court will be surprised and angry, whether the palace itself can be willing this week is not yet known.
Besides, didn't this Mu Yunyao break off relations with King Zhou's Mansion? Fang was moved by what the girl said, and agreed for a while, thinking about it carefully, it was not so easy, Li Meng couldn't help but ask:
"Let's just talk about it here, will Kaifeng agree?"
Mu Yunyao wiped the corners of her eyes and said quite firmly:
"They have been in Kaifeng City for so long, their horizons have become smaller, they know something, even if the husband goes to save people, we are for their good after all. When the girl said this, Li Meng was stunned and couldn't help laughing, Mu Yunyao looked at her husband with wide eyes, and she didn't know what she said wrong.
Li Meng stopped laughing, and then he got closer to stare at Mu Yunyao's delicate and beautiful face, and said with a smile:
"It's really my woman, the decision to kill is already the master of her own family, okay, let's not care what King Zhou and the princess think, the whole palace will be brought to us."
Although Mu Yunyao is a daughter, she dared to go out and follow Li Meng out of the city when she was in the palace, and she was a counselor by Li Meng's side from the time she started, analyzing the Di Bao and Tang Bao, and later leading the internal account room, and following the old eunuch Liu Fulai to learn to deal with government affairs.
Now he is the person in charge of the Shandong Salt Gang, the Lingshan Commercial Bank, and the Armed Salt Ding Intelligence System, dispatching and distributing in the middle, holding great power, and touching the land is a matter of killing, and he naturally has the habit of acting in a high-position position with great power in his hands.
Mu Yunyao's statement also made Li Meng feel at ease, he had already checked that the blood relationship between King Zhou and the current Emperor Chongzhen was very estranged, but after all, it was the Zhu family, the blood of the royal family, and some things could not be discarded if they were discarded.
However, since Mu Yunyao has taken such an attitude, then everything is easy to say, what Li Meng is concerned about is Mu Yunyao who has followed him for so many years, and as for the Zhou Wangfu, it is enough to give them peace and wealth.
Seeing Li Meng's promise, Mu Yunyao was also relieved, but looking at Li Meng's expression, he actually put down a stone......
"Husband, about the matter of the peace talks, the sisters discussed, the old lady Counselor, came up with a method, do you think it will be successful?"
The topic turned, but it was never related to the privacy of the boudoir.
At the beginning of July, the dust settled in Zhuxian Town, Henan, and Lu Jiude, the eunuch guarding Nanjing, was also relieved, and the Huaiyang Army, which had been immovable, began to attack westward, and the Qingzhou Army at Zhoujiaqiao in Hongze Lake began to shrink to Huai'an Mansion.
