Section 5: Wang Chengen's bold plan

Wang Chengen, who returned to the palace, thought about it all night, and the sky was slightly bright, Wang Chengen was already clear at this time, his eyes were bright, and he showed a knowing smile, like a monk who had attained the Tao, so people felt unfathomable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's time, it's time to serve the long live master, and went straight to Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen's dormitory cleanly, and when he entered the door, he saw Zhu Youzhen, who was dressed in a yellow robe, was admiring the snow last night with his hands behind his back, Wang Chengen was not alarmed, but stood quietly behind him, Zhu Youzhen said leisurely: "Big companion, you are here." Wang Chengen was excited, startled, the pressure has been so great recently, his nerves are brittle, and he hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the old slave has just arrived for a while, and it is really damn that Yaxing, who disturbed the Long Live Lord." "Hehehe, Companion, you and I don't have to be like this, it's just that Companion has been tired a lot lately, and I can't do anything, and you are the only person in the world who can make me feel at ease." Zhu Youzhen turned around and looked at Wang Chengen cordially, Wang Chengen was really moved after hearing it, this relationship is iron, I can't say it, and hurriedly said modestly: "It is the duty of the old slave to do things for Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not say so, torture and kill the old slave." "Is the prince's business done?" Has Xiao Chongzi's case record been destroyed? "Back to Your Majesty, everything has been done, Xiao Chongzi's case record has also been destroyed, and he is named Wang Chongru, Your Majesty can rest assured that Xiao Chongzi will swear to protect the prince." Zhu Youzhen sighed sadly in his heart: "Alas, let the prince take his younger brothers here to live a good life, don't think about recovering the Ming Dynasty, the burden is too heavy, not something that his weak shoulders can resist, live like ordinary people, and leave the emperor's family from now on." After speaking, he shed tears of heartache, Wang Chengen was even more sad, seeing that Zhu Youzhen, who was in his thirties, had aged dozens of years all of a sudden, and wanted to talk about the Flying Eagle Alliance several times, giving Zhu Youzhen, who was desperate in his heart, a little hope, but he didn't dare to say it, reason told him that he couldn't say it, because he knew Zhu Youzhen too well, Zhu Youzhen would really cut off his head in anger.

Zhu Youzhen is going to the court, accompanied by Wang Chengen to the Taihe Palace, began a day's work, this year all over the place is bad news, at the beginning of the year Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves raged in Hubei, a number of princes were killed, in the middle of the year, Zhang Xianzhong thieves invaded Henan, such as no one's land, the Ming army was defeated and invincible, the situation in the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more severe, this is not, a month ago, in October, Li Zicheng thieves captured Tongguan, Xi'an General Soldier Qian Zhongxuan was killed, and the governor Song Yihe committed suicide.

Li Zicheng changed Chengtian to Yangwuzhou and established himself as the founding of the country, and Yang Yongyu, the doctor of Qintianjian of the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to Li Zicheng, and most of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty surrendered to Li Zicheng, which made Zhu Youzhen extremely angry, vomiting blood and fainting several times.

Today, Zhu Youzhen's ministers under the stands on the dragon seat were disgusted and helpless, they were all incompetent! Seeing Chen Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, he was extremely angry, and he couldn't get rid of it quickly. This Chen Yan is really an incompetent person, he has no strategy, he will brag and talk nonsense, it's all nonsense.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't think of how he personally appointed this Chen Yan as the first assistant of the cabinet, was he blind, of course not, this is Chen Yan's low-level tricks, at that time, he bought off the eunuchs around Zhu Youzhen, and secretly learned from the eunuchs that Zhu Youzhen was going to ask the next day, and the next day the answer was like a stream, Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, and was immediately promoted to the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, and entered the cabinet.

During this period, Chen Yan was impeached for misconduct and bad style, pretending to resign, Zhu Youzhen did not allow it, Chongzhen for 16 years, the first assistant Zhou Yanru was deposed, and Chen Yan replaced him as the first assistant of the cabinet. After this person came to power, his true form was exposed, selfish, and he wantonly excluded dissidents during his official period, embezzled the salaries of officers and soldiers, and excluded all the talented officials of the Ming Dynasty, announced personal vendettas, deceived Zhu Youzhen, slapped Zhu Youzhen's sycophants, and catered to Zhu Youzhen everywhere, which made Zhu Youzhen very satisfied with his vanity, and made Zhu Youzhen's self-righteous mental illness more seriousand feel good about yourself.

However, facts are always facts, the battle report on the front line Chen Yan concealed once but could not hide countless times, the most serious incident was when Li Zicheng's rebel army invaded Shanxi, Zhu Youzhen and the ministers made a very wise decision to seek truth from facts, the combat intention of this decision was to fight a decisive battle with Li Zicheng in Shanxi, severely damage Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army, transfer the brave Ningyuan Wu Sangui to withdraw to Shanhaiguan, and Li Zicheng in Shanxi decisive battle, defeat Li Zicheng's elite, so that the Ming Dynasty has time to breathe.

On this correct strategic policy, Chen Yan forgot to take medicine and vigorously opposed it, and tried his best to oppose it, resulting in Wu Sangui's failure to do this, in fact, Chen Yan was afraid that Wu Sangui would win the battle, and after entering Beijing, he would lose his head in the matter of eating the salaries of officers and soldiers.

Zhu Youzhen listened to Chen Yan's remarks about Shanhaiguan and Li Zicheng's words about being a thief and a thief, so he did not implement this correct strategic policy. Later, the situation became more and more serious, and the peasant rebel army led by Li Zicheng became more and more courageous, quickly conquering Datong and Xuancheng, and approaching the capital.

Zhu Youzhen regretted it very much, regretted listening to Chen Yan's greedy words, did not implement the above correct strategy, and hurriedly transferred Wu Sangui into the customs, but it was too late, the combat opportunity had been lost, and he missed an opportunity to annihilate Li Zicheng's elite, so that Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to chop Chen Yan to pieces and feed the dogs!

Chen Yan also knew that he didn't have that real ability, so he couldn't get along, and he applied for resignation several times, but of course Zhu Youzhen didn't allow it, bird, he didn't want to slip the door if he did something wrong!

Until now, the bad situation of the Ming Dynasty still can't let Zhu Youzhen see his own mistakes, the right hand of the Ming Dynasty has made him almost kill himself, the exile of exile, the Guan Da Prison of Guan Da Prison, Zhu Youzhen is still self-harming at this juncture, which is related to Zhu Youzhen's paranoid personality disorder's mental illness, as the king of an empire, he must have the courage to accept all rivers and rivers, and have a calm head, these Zhu Youzhen have none of them, and he has a bad problem, jealousy of his ability, especially jealous of people who are more talented than himself, As long as this talented person gets praise, he is very jealous, thinking that I am the emperor, the son of heaven! The smartest man in the world is me! Talented people are not allowed to make mistakes, as long as this talented person is a little wrong, he will be treated ruthlessly! Make you smarter than me, and make you cowhide! I'll kill you! Sample you!

Today's court meeting began to end, and it was unhappy and dispersed, no one could come up with an idea to solve the embattled situation of the Ming Dynasty, how fresh, the ministers were afraid of this Zhu Youzhen, as long as the ministers came up with ideas, the result would be borne by the ministers, the consequences were very serious, the dismissal of the official and the prison was light, and the heavy one was directly clicked off the head, who dared to be in the limelight, they were all submissive, and you Zhu Youzhen were in charge of this matter, we just listened to you.

Wang Chengen finally stayed up until he got off work, and he thought about finding a pot to send the prince out of the city to Heilongjiang. After the next court, Wang Chengen found an excuse to leave the palace and go straight to the Flying Eagle Station, pushed open the door and saw that the Flying Eagle Warriors were busy, packing up for the return to the tribe and the Flying Eagle Alliance in ten days, all of them were very excited, they could finally go home, they were very happy, they were full of energy, they stayed in the capital for almost two months, the situation and the plague in the capital were testing the fragile little nerves of the Flying Eagle Warriors every day, and the sound of crying and howling came along the street during the day, and the white flags at the door of the house were lined up, and there was a thick yellow money floating on the street, such as the Yellow Spring Road extending into the distance. At night, gongs, drums, firecrackers shook the sky, and it was rumored that there were powerful ghosts who appeared at night to kill them, so that the flying eagle warriors had numb scalps at night, and the rifles did not leave their bodies, and they would have made a sound to the sky to strengthen their courage, such as living in hell on earth, if it were not for the continuous delivery of the letter and material resources of the big leader, let the flying eagle soldiers believe that they are still alive and have people who care, and they will really collapse and collapse.

Seeing Wang Chengen's face green when he pushed the door in, this old eunuch who had no bird dared to point a gun at the head of the director of the pot, at that time a guard asked angrily, and after learning about Wang Chengen's intention, he brought Wang Chengen into the inner room, and when he entered the house, he saw that Guoba and Wang Fangji were together and said something happily, seeing Wang Chengen and the two of them hurriedly got up to greet him, Wang Fangji greeted Wang Chengen with a happy face: "Uncle, you are here, sit, drink milk tea, it's cold this day" Wang Chengen sat down and looked at the two of them very happy, are you so happy to eat, Puzzled, he asked, "Did you two pick up the silver, so happy." Wang Fangji happily replied: "My mother is well!" "What?! Your mother is here?! Wang Chengen was surprised, this kid's mother didn't say anything when she came, what do you mean, that's a cousin-in-law, her face was displeased, Wang Fangji knew that he had misunderstood at a glance and hurriedly explained: "It's my old mother-in-law's illness." Wang Chengen's face was better, to make it clear, Wang Chengen also replied easily: "Congratulations, my mother-in-law is healthy, wait!" How did I hear that your mother-in-law had a plague the day before yesterday, how can this plague be cured, don't lie to your uncle. "It's true! The big leader asked God to get the magic medicine, the magic medicine has been born, yesterday I gave the old mother-in-law an injection, this time the fever has subsided, the neck does not hurt anymore, and the swelling has decreased, and it will be all well in a few days! Hehehe. "What! Wang Chengen jumped up! You must know that this plague is incurable, and it is infected with the creation of itself, and it is the blessing of the gods to survive.

Wang Chengen said with a look of surprise: "There is really a miracle medicine that can cure the plague!" "Yes, this is a miracle medicine!" Wang Fangji took out a small transparent glass bottle and handed it to Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen took it and took a look, only to see that this transparent glass bottle was so cute, it contained a bunch of white powder, and looked at the sun, it was really transparent glass! Da Ming hasn't yet.

Wang Chengen looked at the small glass bottle in his hand and asked, "This is the magic medicine, does it really work?" Wang Fangji hurriedly said: "It really works, I gave my mother-in-law an injection yesterday, and it worked at night, it's really a miracle medicine!" "What is an injection, isn't this medicine drunk?" Wang Chengen was even more puzzled, Wang Fangji took out a glass transparent syringe from an iron box, which made Wang Chengen drunk, and hurriedly reached out to take it and played with it in his hand, the thin long needle, inlaid on the glass tube, and there was a propeller behind, Wang Chengen operated this glass syringe under the guidance of his nephew Wang Fangji, poured water and pushed it out, and shot far away, which made Wang Chengen surprised again and again, and couldn't put it down and played with it, and even called this thing wonderful. Just hearing that the magic medicine was going to be shot into the human body through the needle, the scalp was numb, and he asked people not to be stabbed to death, Wang Fangji explained that the needle tube was very thin, and it was just a little stinging when it was pierced into the human body, the same as acupuncture, Wang Chengen looked at the syringe in his hand in disbelief.

Wang Chengen asked the pot while playing with the syringe in his hand: "This medicine and this glass needle are really the magic medicine artifacts that the Great Leader of the Flying Eagle asked for from the gods?" Guoba said proudly: "Of course it's true, it's just that the big leader asked the gods for medicine and glass, the specific magic medicine is prepared by the divine doctor Wu Youke, and the glassware is researched and made by the almighty god Song Yingxing, these two are the meritorious ministers of the Flying Eagle Alliance, and the living Bodhisattvas who benefit the people of the world." Wang Chengen thought about it for a while and remembered who these two people were, and said disdainfully: "Oh, Wu Youke seems to have heard of it, it should be from a family of famous doctors, I heard the old doctors mention this person, and I learned that this person has a unique opinion on the plague, but it is too ridiculous, and he is just a man who does not enter the stream." Song Yingxing, a person who knows that he is the governor of Bozhou, Anhui Province, is obsessed with cheap farm tools, and is not a climate, and has a lot of criticism about the Confucian governance of the Ming Dynasty. Why does the great leader of such a strange person value the importance of use so much, and does not drive away, what is the explanation? Could it be that the big leader is surrounded by some whimsical people who have no strategy for governing the country, how to rebuild the Ming Dynasty with the prince in the future, and how to lead the people with lofty ideals in the world to destroy the thieves with the prince, which makes the Sprinkle family very worried. ”

Guoba and Wang Fangji were displeased when they heard Wang Chengen's prejudiced words, and Guoba said with a dark face: "According to your meaning, Feiying should be led by literati with a big mind, may I ask if there are few literati in Daming?" Look at what the governance has become, it is not the Ming Dynasty that is in danger, it is useless, it will be boastful on the lips, talking about soldiers on paper, people in the open look like dogs, secretly greedy and thinking of ways to make money, there is no state affairs in the chest, enjoy doing fun, regardless of the life and death of the people, can they write a word and say a poem to kill the Qing soldiers and thieves, what is the use of such a wine bag and rice bag? ! ”

Guoba continued with a suspicious face: "This cannot be generalized, there are also capable people in the Ming Dynasty, but it's a pity that traitors are in charge." Our big leaders know how to use talents, know that people make the best use of their talents, and pay attention to the skills and hard work of talents, rather than entrusting them to reuse when they can write poems. Doctor Wu is good at plague management, deeply understands the way of plague, and was ordered by the big leader to be the director of the Heilongjiang Medical Bureau and the president of Heilongjiang Hospital, specializing in plague for the benefit of the people of the world, and will never suffer from the plague again.

The big leader poured all the manpower, material and financial resources of the tribes in Heilongjiang, and together with the Wu Divine Doctor, he thought about the well-being of the people in the world, and studied this miracle medicine day and night. The medicinal powder in this small vial was refined after thousands of failed experiments by the Great Chief, Wu Shenyi and others, and the hardships of this process were not something ordinary people could bear.

This miracle medicine is also a poisonous medicine, in order to grasp the appropriate dose of treatment of plague, how many needles and eyes did Dr. Wu Shen and others prick their arms, Dr. Wu was poisoned by this medicine and deaf one ear, for this medicine, how many tribesmen and the people of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of abolishing their ears to test the medicine, saying that it is worth gold is not an exaggeration! There is also this transparent glass, the old man Bi Maokang learned that this glass is related to the lives of the people in the world, put down the development of firearms that he loves and obses, and worked together with Song Yingxing, a miracle worker, to study glass, burning glass day and night, and painstakingly burned out such transparent glassware for Wu Shenyi to refine the magic medicine, this magic medicine and glass were developed with the painstaking efforts of many people in Heilongjiang, how can they be said to be whimsical people. The excitement on his chest and his face expressed the hardships of making streptomycin and glass.

Wang Chengen was secretly shocked after hearing this, and what surprised him was not the hardships of making streptomycin and glass, but that this big leader Dural had the appearance of an emperor, and he would make the emperor's art, good at winning people's hearts and minds to drive himself, good at discovering talents and using talents, and using people with energy in an eclectic way to strengthen the strength of his own Flying Eagle Alliance. How can such a scheming prince be the opponent of this big leader Dural, it is difficult to ensure that the Flying Eagle Alliance will be replaced by full-fledged wings in the future, and after that, the Great Ming will not be the Great Ming. In the future, the Flying Eagle Alliance completed the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and after entering the Central Plains, he suddenly turned his face and killed the prince or coerced the prince to abdicate and seize the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Wang Chengen's back was chilled and stunned, his palms were sweaty, and he had a poisonous plan, the prince went to Heilongjiang, and found a way to get close to the big leader Dural and blame others for poisoning, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the flying eagle, the leaderless people of the group of dragons were flustered and quickly controlled the Flying Eagle Alliance for the use of the prince Daming!

After Wang Chengen made up his mind, he hurriedly got up and apologized to the pot: "Forgive the Sprinkle family for being rude, the recent situation in the Ming Dynasty has made the Sprinkle family anxious, and I have to think about it comprehensively. Today, a long live Lord also asked the prince's itinerary, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the prince will leave, this trip to Heilongjiang Prince is to rebuild the Ming Dynasty, alone, there is no capable military generals around, how to rebuild the Ming Dynasty? Is the big problem of Director Guoba considered by the big leader? "Hehe, Chief Wang, the big leader of this matter has already thought of it, and asked through the gods the list of a group of military generals who can assist the prince to build the country, as for whether they can all call the prince to go to Heilongjiang, it depends on the ability of the chief official Wang, as long as these people are found, the prince's hope for rebuilding the Ming Dynasty will be greater, and we will take the prince and others to Heilongjiang at any time."

Wang Chengen took over the list of the generals of the Ming Dynasty in the hands of the pot, nearly 200 people, from the official position to the Shangshu, to the school captain, some of them are still people that the Lord of Long Live dislikes very much, and there are even prisoners in prison! frowned and said unhappily: "What does the big leader mean!" The people in this can also be regarded as the capable military generals of the Ming Dynasty! Everyone has it, look at it, Chen Xinjia! Such a rebellious scum who fornicated with Houjin can also be regarded as a capable minister! It's clearly a traitor! After hearing this, Guoba laughed and said: "Chen Xinjia is just His Majesty's scapegoat, you and I both understand in our hearts, why should the king be serious, this person is a rare talent who can be civil and martial, and the big leader has always appreciated it, saying that if this person loses, it will be the prince who will lose an arm to rebuild the Ming Dynasty." ”

Wang Chengen gritted his teeth when he heard that there was a cold sweat on his head here, because this person Chen Xinjia was dead, and he was going to be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon, look at the sun, there is still half an hour, Chen Xinjia is a tragic figure, lying down and being shot in the back, a few years ago, Zhu Youzhen wanted to negotiate peace with Houjin, admired Chen Xinjia's eloquence and courage, and handed over the secret peace to Chen Xinjia, the bad is here, Chen Xinjia put this secret letter on the table at home, and was published by the diligent servant as a newspaper, and the whole country was in an uproar, For a time, Chen Xinjia became a traitor of the Ming Dynasty.

The result can be imagined, not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, Zhu Youzhen almost turned his back angrily, cut down, no one can intercede, this is not Chen Xinjia will be beheaded immediately, there is still half an hour to live.

Just between this lightning and flint, Wang Chengen's eyes showed murderous intentions, for the sake of Daming and the prince, even if he committed a great crime against the sky, he would do it! This great crime of bullying the king has been done, and it is not bad for this trembling. Immediately called the little eunuch who was waiting outside the door into the door, and muttered in his ears for a long time, listening to the little eunuch's eyes slowly widening and his face was pale, his legs were trembling with fright, and he looked at Wang Chengen in horror with a question, Wang Chengen nodded, the little eunuch looked at the sun and then at Wang Chengen, and cried with a bitter face. Guoba understood at a glance, changed the package of death row prisoners, nodded approvingly, it was really a ruthless character, it was really the loyalty of Daming, and he worked hard for Daming.

Wang Chengen wiped his cold sweat, and there was always a question in his heart, how did the prince go to Jin's land, and no one dared to stop him when he said only one sentence!

Wang Chengen was stunned and very uneasy, and after a blink of an eye, he had an idea and said to Guoba: "In this way, tomorrow I will send five hundred cubs and five hundred little palace maids to the vanguard first, and the prince and others will then come and be escorted to Heilongjiang by five hundred guards, in case there is an accident in the vanguard The prince will also withdraw to the capital in time." Guoba was dizzy and asked: "The prince is going to alchemy, where is it to run for his life, how good it is to bring five hundred boys and girls, although Heilongjiang is not a fairy island, it is also a treasure land, maybe after a three-five-eight year prince can practice into an elixir, when the time comes, you and I will eat the elixir as a fairy is really a happy and beautiful thing." Wang Chengen's face turned green, and he said unhappily: "Then how do you want to go?" Heilongjiang is a bitter cold place, can the prince's golden drive survive, it can't be done without the palace maid to take care of it, the prince's habits in the palace The palace maids and cubs also know that they will take good care of the prince, and it will save the trouble of the big chief. "The pot has a headache, bird, regret taking Wang Chengen's line, I know that this thing is not easy, there are too many troubles, I should have shot all the collapses, there will be no such trouble, and said to Wang Chengen cautiously: "This rescue of the prince is because my Flying Eagle leader can't bear the disaster of the Ming people, and he can't bear the destruction of the Ming Dynasty's century-old foundation in the hands of Manyi. I hope that Mr. Wang will sincerely cooperate with the Flying Eagle Alliance to safely escort the prince to Heilongjiang as soon as possible, which is the great luck of the Ming Dynasty, the luck of the people, and the luck of the world, I hope to carefully arrange the prince's trip, now there are eight days left, according to my Flying Eagle into Li Zicheng's inner line of soldiers and horses, after eight days, Li Zicheng's army will surround the capital, and when the time comes, I can't leave, no matter whether Mr. Wang is ready or not, my Flying Eagle will evacuate the capital after eight days, and the number of people accompanying the prince and others can not be increased. If I fly the eagle too much, I can't guarantee that I will take the prince back to Heilongjiang, I hope that the chief official Wang will treat it carefully, and I can't play with it, eight days later, I will wait for the chief manager of the king to bring the prince and others to come at this post station, and we will leave the capital, okay? There are also the prince's capable ministers and generals who can bring as many as they can, and the king can do his best. "It's so good, please rest assured that Director Guoba knows the stakes and will definitely arrange it properly, and I will never embarrass Director Guoba, and the Sprinkle family will say goodbye." Wang Chengen sighed in his heart, this flying eagle is not simple, there are internal lines there, the movements of Houjin, Daming, and thieves are all clear, not simple, and the plot is not small, we must let the prince master the flying eagle as soon as possible.

Guoba and Wang Fangji sent Wang Chengen out of the post station, at this time Wang Chengen was attracted by an object from the busy flying eagle warrior, Wang Chengen saw that the flying eagle warrior had a musket about two inches long like a handcuff pinned to his waist, but it was not like, it was very special, especially this handcuff has a round wheel, well-made, the stitching place is so ingenious and integrated, at first glance it is made of good steel, Guoba introduced that this is a shotgun recently developed by the old man Bi, with a bullet capacity of nine rounds, developed in order to deal with the Qing soldiers in close combat, powerful, It is an artifact in melee combat.

Wang Chengen put it in his hand and carefully admired the shotgun, the feel is really wonderful, the black and bright barrel, the red birch handle, the weight of more than ten pounds, especially the wheel embedded in the body of the gun, can be rotated by hand, it is really small, people can't put it down, the pot explained the wonderful use of this gun in detail, opened the machine gun body and let Wang Chengen look at the wheel, only to see that there are nine holes on the wheel, respectively, containing nine bullets, Wang Chengen took off the bullet and wondered, why there is no bullet, the rifle bullet does not have a bullet, I feel that the bullet of this shotgun is many times larger than the rifle bullet, and it is heavier, what do you understand, Guoba explained, the shotgun is a melee musket, and strives to kill and injure the enemy in a large area at close range, all bullets can only be a grain of projectiles, and the bullets of this shotgun are composed of dozens of steel pellets, all of which are in the cartridge case.

Guoba asked the Flying Eagle Warrior to give Wang Chengen the power of the gun on the spot, only to see the Flying Eagle Warrior put the shotgun at the blue brick wall is a shot, "bang" a muffled sound, five steps away from the blue brick wall instantly appeared in a row of craters, the Flying Eagle Warrior pulled the hand under the barrel inward, the wheel turned, and then another shot, and then pulled inward, "Bang!" Bang! Bang! "The nine shotguns were all fired at one time, and the blue bricks on the opposite side had become a hornet's nest, all broken, leaking down like sand, and the Eagle Warrior opened the wheels of the shotgun again, loaded the bullets into the wheels one by one and closed them, all in one go.
