Chapter 104: Like a Fish in the Throat (Part II)
Hearing the word "pass", Liu Cheng realized what had happened during the days when he was not at home. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Dead?"
"Yes, Edon, it's just two lowly Han girls, and Edon should be content with taking them in for a few years."
Kong Sizhen said it so justifiably, as if she was the embodiment of the truth. But when these words were heard in Liu Cheng's ears, they were like a basin of boiling oil poured on the anger, and the dissatisfaction with this Han person's personality immediately rushed to the top of his head.
"Han girls are cheap? Isn't you, the daughter of a dog traitor, even more of a slut? ”
thought so in his heart, but Liu Cheng never dared to say it. From the day he gave the marriage, Liu Chengcheng doubted whether this Han personality would be a spy planted by Xiaozhuang's side, so from the day he got married, as long as he was at home, he was so shocked that he didn't even dare to drink, for fear that he would lose his words after drinking.
Because of this, the subconscious vigilance was like a firewall that directly forcibly contained his anger, which was also an accident.
"Gege is right, the daughter of the Han family should not stay in this mansion and wait. However, if there is such a thing again, Gege should also explain it to the husband in advance, and how to say that the husband is also the head of the family. Gege feels sorry for her husband, but does Gege also have to consider acting like this, let her colleagues know that her husband is a Han person who carries the flag, and then loses a reputation for fear, if the implementation of military orders is hindered by contempt, wouldn't it be a big thing for the emperor at that time? ”
After Kong Sizhen finished speaking, he always looked at Liu Cheng's expression. Just now, Liu Cheng's brows were furrowed in her eyes, but after a moment, she had a relieved look, and when she said this, it seemed to be thinking.
Seeing this, Kong Sizhen thought in her heart that Liu Cheng might have been angry at that moment, otherwise it would be impossible to say these words to vent. Seeing this, Kong Sizhen also hurriedly got up, confessed the guilt in his mouth, and thought about it thoughtlessly, and he must discuss it with Liu Cheng in advance in the future before making a claim.
"That's not necessary, Gege is the righteous daughter of the queen mother, a Manchurian bannerman, and a husband is also a Manchurian bannerman who has been blessed with the emperor's grace to carry the flag. Whether it is the male protagonist and the female protagonist as the Han people say, or according to our Manchurian tradition, the affairs in the family should be Gege's final say. ”
What's more, my husband has been training the new army in the barracks for a long time, and he doesn't have this mind. I just hope that Gege can think more about the vital interests of her husband, Gege is the daughter of the Queen Mother, but she is also my Liu Jiacheng's wife, and I still hope that Gege can put her husband's family first in her husband's selfishness. ”
Liu Cheng poured a large amount of confusion back and forth, and Kong Sizhen became more and more convinced of her thoughts. Since this is the case, she also smiled, and quickly revealed the matter and changed the topic again, so that the two lives were over.
Liu Cheng went home, it was already afternoon, the two chatted for a while, and when it was time for dinner, they ate together. With the harmony after the anger, Liu Cheng was even more vigilant against Kong Sizhen's every word, but who knows, while eating, Kong Sizhen's seemingly unintentional words still startled him.
"E, the concubine knows that Ebu once followed the Zhejiang bandit Chen Rei, in fact, Ebu should also know that his father also followed Mao Shuai back then, so every time she sees Edon, the concubine will think of her father who sacrificed his life for the country. In Liaodong and Guilin's palace, my father mentioned Mao Shuai's heroic posture more than once, and today I saw the forehead, and the concubine remembered her father again, so can the forehead and the concubine talk about the Zhejiang bandit Chen Reverse? ”
Kong Sizhen's father, Kong Youde, was the righteous son of Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, when he was in Dongjiang Town. Most of these people died on the battlefield in Liaodong, but they also had such a good character as King Sanshun, so that once later generations mentioned how Mao Wenlong was, someone would definitely give the example of King Sanshun.
At this moment, Kong Sizhen waved away the subordinates left and right, not only mentioned her traitor father, but also almost bluntly mentioned the traitor identities of Kong Youde and Liu Cheng, which really surprised Liu Cheng. But if you think about it carefully, no matter what kind of woman it is, especially Kong Youde's wife, his mother-in-law seems to be the daughter of a big family, and Kong Sizhen is also convinced of the three virtues of following her father, marrying her husband, and her husband's death from her son, and this dissatisfaction faded in an instant.
Looking at Kong Sizhen's eyes full of curiosity, Liu Cheng sighed in his heart, even if he has such a high position in his life, he is still living in the shadow of Chen Wen. Not to mention anything else, at least Chen Wen's wife would never have such a strong curiosity about him.
"Sooner or later, I'll tear this shadow apart."
Thinking of this in his heart, Liu Cheng sorted out the wording, and then said to Kong Sizhen: "When my husband first met Chen Wen, he was still in a small village at the foot of Dalan Mountain, and his people talked about the ancient times in the threshing floor of the village every night, and they were erudite and knowledgeable, even ordinary civil officials could not compare with him. However, the rumored Chen Wenyong championed the three armies, invincible in the world in martial arts, but it was fake, this person did not have any martial arts at all, and he fought on the battlefield, all with brute force, but that courage is also rare in the world. ”
As he spoke, Liu Cheng's eyes seemed to be the figure of Chen Wen charging against artillery fire in the battle behind the palace of Siming Mountain. A person's martial arts are not terrible, what is really terrible is that he does not have the slightest martial arts but still dares to launch a decisive charge against a powerful opponent. What's more, although Chen Wen has no fighting skills, he can rely on his strength to defeat a seemingly invincible opponent, and this wisdom is the most terrifying.
With such a beginning, Liu Cheng stopped eating dinner and began to talk eloquently in front of Kong Sizhen. For him, this is not only to talk to Kong Sizhen about Chen Wen as a person, but also to use Chen Wen to recall the first half of his life, which has never been realized.
"I see."
After listening to the narration, Kong Sizhen also looked like he suddenly realized: "The concubine listened to those Fujin and Gege, in their mouths, Chen Yi was like a man-eating demon. Thinking about it now, it's normal, I remember that when I heard people evaluate Mao Shuai, it was completely different from my father's statement, but I just listened to the forehead, this Chen Wei seems to be stronger than Mao Shuai? ”
Mao Wenlong traveled thousands of miles to Liaodong, opened up an anti-Qing base behind the Manchu Dynasty, and insisted on resisting the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years.
In contrast, Chen Wenneng has today's weather, and he has a lot of light for understanding history, but more importantly, he is as resolute as a rock - the Qing army in Zhejiang has broken their heads on this rock again and again, so that when Hong Chengchou is forced to go out of the mountain, he is already facing a military group that has gained a firm foothold in Zhejiang.
"Compared with Mao Shuai, Chen Wen's mind is more difficult to figure out."
Chen Wen is the biggest enemy in Liu Cheng's heart, and when he says this, Liu Cheng is no longer willing to say anything more, but sighs sincerely.
This breath, sighing, is a heartfelt complexity. Among them, admiration, resentment, jealousy, helplessness, fear, etc., etc., can be called a mixture of flavors, which really made Kong Sizhen stunned.
"Forget it, don't mention him."
Speaking of this, Liu Cheng took out a small box from his arms, opened the box in front of Kong Sizhen, and a very delicate step was revealed.
"It's so beautiful, I have a heart."
"This is the pattern of Suzhou last year, and now the north-south exchanges have been cut off, and it is still sent by those smuggling maritime merchants. A friend of her husband was working in the Tianjin Acropolis, and when he saw that it was good, he asked someone to send it over. ”
As he spoke, Liu Cheng took Bu Shao in his hand and personally inserted it into Kong Sizhen's hair. Immediately, Liu Cheng's body retreated, and he saw a butterfly made of gold, silver, and various colored gems on the jade flower that was shaking with Kong Sizhen sitting upright, and its wings swaying up and down, as if it was about to fly.
"Now it seems that it is still this thing that sets off Gege's appearance of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon."
The joy of the boudoir is even worse than that of the thrush, Liu Cheng first matched the step shake with his own hands, and then issued a heartfelt admiration, Kong Sizhen also blushed when he came, and a pretty appearance of giving and asking made Liu Cheng swallow his spit fiercely.
"Gege, it's getting late, it's time for us to rest."
"Aren't you hungry after eating these?"
"There is a good look, and the husband is already full."
Speaking of this, Liu Cheng took advantage of the situation to take Kong Sizhen's hand, pulled her and walked to the bedroom of the back house. However, as soon as I walked to the door, an old woman sent from the palace when I got married stood in front of the door.
"Lao Tzu sleeps with his own mother-in-law, and he has to buy off the housekeeper's mother-in-law in advance, what kind of rules is this."
Having said that, Liu Cheng also knew the rules, and without waiting for the grandmother to speak, he stepped forward and took out a silver ingot from his body, and the grandmother got out of the way with a smile, and offered the most sincere blessings.
Early the next morning, Liu Cheng, who had stretched his muscles, returned to the camp of the Wuwei Right Army and continued to train the army. And after a long absence, Kong Sizhen, who was already a radiant woman, went directly to the palace after seeing off Liu Cheng and went to Cining Palace to meet her stepmother, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
"How?"
The palace maids and eunuchs have already retreated, and there is only one Aunt Su Mala left beside her, Xiaozhuang held Kong Sizhen's hand, and opened his mouth to ask. And Kong Sizhen's side obviously knew very well what Xiaozhuang was going to ask, so he answered without thinking about it.
"The daughter killed the two, and gave them to the forehead according to what the emperor taught her, and the forehead was a little dissatisfied, but she was also ......."
Kong Sizhen told the story of what happened last night, and after Xiaozhuang heard it, he couldn't help but nod and talked with Kong Sizhen. It wasn't until a long time later, after lunch, that Kong Sizhen returned to the house, and Xiaozhuang's side welcomed another guest, to be exact, the owner of the Forbidden City.
"Huang Eniang, how is it?"
Shunzhi asked this question, and Xiaozhuang was also prepared, and directly repeated Kong Sizhen's words, and at the same time added some of her understanding, which also made Shunzhi feel relieved.
"The performance is quite normal, and it is reasonable for him to spoil my righteous sister. However, his evaluation of Chen Wei is far more pertinent than others. ”
"Yes, on his body, Chen Rei's mark is too profound, and it really has to be guarded against."
Having said that, for the Han people, especially those who have grasped the real power, who is not guarded against by them. However, Liu Cheng's example is more special, and the particularity is similar to that of Hong Chengchou back then, not only to use his talents, but also to prevent him from calculating the Manchu Qing together, which is really a trembling.
It's just that whether it is their mother and son, Kong Sizhen, or other powerful people, they seem to have a special fear of Chen Wen's name, and when Chen Wen is mentioned, Chen Wei is often used instead, and only Liu Cheng will inadvertently speak bluntly about these two words.
"Now that I have Zhang Dayuan and Wang Fuchen, and then I have these last night, I can be regarded as a little relieved. In that case, let the two minions, Liu Cheng and Guerjia Mulima, go out with the right army of Wuwei. ”
Shunzhi made up his mind, and soon the holy decree was also sent to the camp of the Wuwei Right Army. In order to ensure the safety of the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, the Qing court needed a new army to go out to Tianjin Acropolis and Dagukou to assist in the defense, and this new army was the right army of Wuwei.
"The minions obey."
After receiving the holy decree, the right army of Wuwei began preparations for the transfer of troops. Of course, they are a new army, and they don't need to build a military camp or anything, they just need to set off step by step, and when they arrive at the new camp, the official government of Tianjin Wei is ready, and their big camp is located, and there are also a large number of old guards established by the Ming Dynasty near the left, and those military households are free laborers who don't need money.
However, when the decree was issued, discontent in the camp was inevitable. The right army of Wuwei went out of Tianjinwei, and it was inevitable to build a full city there, but compared to the capital, the prosperity of the Tianjin Acropolis at this time could not be compared with the imperial capital, and it was not the most important port in northern China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and the psychological gap was really not small.
"This is not necessarily a bad thing, when you get to Tianjin Wei, it will not be stricter than in the capital, and it will not be easy to bully and bully those civilian households and military households or something when the time comes."
"I don't think so, this new army is the head of the army, and our forehead is still under the demon in the south, which is even more unreasonable."
"Hey, it's really special, I would have spent more money if I had known it, and I would have gone to other new armies, and I wouldn't have been able to accept this lowly slave's Buhler."
Compared with the thoughts in the camp, Liu Cheng did not show it on his face, but his heart was full of agitation. Previously, he mentioned a problem at the end of the main hall, that is, the matter mentioned in the holy decree that the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming army and sailors may pose a threat to Dagukou.
Assuming that there is only such a Ming army in Lushun, then it will be fine, but now the Qing court does not have the strength to get the control of the sea, in case Chen Wen plays yin, bypassing Huaibei and Shandong through the sea route and directly entering the capital, the consequences are unimaginable.
Of course, this possibility is very small, but the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau is very important for the Qing court today, in case the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming armies send ships into the Haihe River to raid the Tianjin Acropolis, and even do not need to occupy it, as long as the factory area is burned, the weapons and armor of the new army will have no place to manufacture.
After these years of fighting, the ordinary Qing army has been proved not to be the opponent of the Ming army in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and only the new army can win the battle. In this case, it is inevitable to send a new army forward, but this candidate, others may still avoid it, but Liu Cheng wants to fight hard - because only by leading an army alone can he have the possibility of privatizing this new army, otherwise he will stay in the capital all the time, and will be stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and he can only be a dog traitor who even his mother-in-law looks down on.
"Kong Sizhen, a, it really works to feed her. With her kind words in the palace, I don't have to continue to tie my hands and feet, at least not like now. ”
Thinking of this, a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of Liu Cheng's mouth. And as he searched according to the map of the Holy Purpose, he soon found the new station of the Wuwei Right Army.
"Little Station Town, let's start here!"
