Section 11: Division
In the winter of February 1644, the seventeenth year of the Apocalypse, in a dilapidated village dozens of miles away from Shanhaiguan, Guoba, deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Flying Eagle Alliance, led the elite of the Ming Dynasty who fled from the capital to the Flying Eagle to the east, and temporarily rested here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After more than a month of running for life, he finally escaped from the territory of Li Zicheng's army, because the sky is not beautiful, the snow is big and urgent, and the people and horses are difficult to walk, at this time, the entire Daming is experiencing an extreme Xiaoice climate, which is the kind of dark and cool weather of ice and fire days with extreme cold winter and extreme drought in summer, so that the journey of the eastward march is later than budgeted, it is really not as good as the sky, and the plan has not changed quickly.
This Ming East marching army hurriedly drove away and stopped, people were sleepy and horses were lacking, frostbite infected with wind and cold were the majority, the personnel were seriously reduced, and the grain and grass were gradually urgent, so they could only kill the horses, anyway, there was no grass to feed in the winter, and the horses were also thin and skinny, and there was no broth to drink if they didn't kill and eat.
Guoba's Flying Eagle Squad has a thousand members, although they are residents who live in the ice and snow of Heilongjiang, and they have outstanding cold resistance, they can't withstand the wind and cold infectious disease, and they can't be spared the attrition, which makes Guoba Wohuo feel distressed, and he wants to shoot the eunuchs and officials who are infected with the wind and cold several times.
The worst thing is that Queen Zhou, the core figure of this eastward marching army, is also infected with a cold and a high fever that does not go away, sometimes sober and sometimes talking nonsense, and the most terrible thing is to use rotten watermelon to get out of the miracle drug streptomycin! Empress Zhou could only rely on the old lady doctor Liu Chun to boil Chinese herbal medicine to maintain her life, but she could not break the roots, and the rapid march of the cold and cold along the way made this noble woman finally unable to resist.
The road to the east is full of difficulties and long distances, no less difficult than the difficult road of Tang Seng to learn scriptures from the West, but it is much stronger than Tang Seng, at least you still have a lot of people to talk and chat, Tang Seng did not, to tell the truth, Su Wenming admires Tang Seng the most!
The eastward journey made some of the pampered Ming Dynasty elites miserable, and there was a wavering, and the people's hearts were unstable at this moment, especially when they got the secret report from the eunuch Cao Huachun in the capital, saying that Li Zicheng had accepted the emperor's holy decree and promised to vote for the Ming Dynasty, it was even more disturbing, and some of the elites of the Ming Dynasty had plans to return to the capital.
Emperor Chongzhen is one of them, it can be said that he is the head of the Beijing faction, especially when he got a secret report from the eunuch Cao Huachun in the capital, saying that Li Zicheng really promised to protect the Ming Dynasty, and was excited when he responded to the call for the Han clan to resist the Qing soldiers. The ministers misunderstood me! Emperor Chongzhen has always thought so.
To tell the truth, Emperor Chongzhen never expected that on the march, he was coerced by Empress Zhou with her beloved concubine Hetian Guifei, and forced herself to write down one inexplicable holy decree after another, which would be so useful! These holy decrees also made Emperor Chongzhen angry, and this damn flying eagle leader dared to take his own holy decree as a child's play! Give away my Ming Emperor as a cabbage! casually to the big thief Li Zicheng and the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong to be crowned marquis! What a system! It's nice to say, what is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, hum, this thief is a great crime and should be punished by the nine clans! Then again, these clever decisions should be associated with each other, and the holy decree was also jointly written, and the alliance had already failed to implement this intention, and the great leader of the flying eagle was just picking up the wisdom of the alliance! Without me, the big leader, nothing can be accomplished, and it's a fart!
Thinking of Su Wenming, the great leader of the Flying Eagle, Emperor Chongzhen was jealous, and killed this self-righteous and undignified leader of the Flying Eagle Alliance, cursing this big leader for not dying! I also hate Empress Zhou's obedience to this bastard big leader, and these officials who are usually submissive to themselves when they are in the capital are all obedient to Empress Zhou, and ignore themselves, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Emperor Chongzhen is even more ruthless, this old eunuch Wang Chengen! This old eunuch who has watched him grow up since he was a child! He dared to secretly collude with Feiying behind my back, and conspired with Queen Zhou to kidnap himself and escape from the capital without authorization! I regard Wang Daban as my father, and I dare to betray me! Emperor Chongzhen was reluctant to cut Wang Chengen with thousands of knives, peeling the skin and filling the grass! To vent the cruelty of your heart! immediately changed the eunuch beside him, which made Wang Chengen heartbroken, his heart hurt, like a feeling of a father being ruthlessly abandoned by his son, the emperor will understand, the old slave is so bold and reckless for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty.
Since Emperor Chongzhen learned the news of Li Zicheng's surrender, his heart was full of infinite hope, and he thought of a way to persuade Empress Zhou to return to the capital, and Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses were combined to kill Manchu Yi, and then revitalize the Ming Dynasty! Let yourself rule the world again! Turn things around!
Of course, Empress Zhou couldn't agree, and said; "When the emperor was young and vigorous, he sent someone to secretly go to Li Zicheng's hometown, dug up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave, and threw the bones of Li Zicheng's ancestors into the wilderness! said that he was going to cut off Li Zicheng's dragon vein, whether it was the dragon vein or not, the palace didn't know, but digging people's ancestral graves had formed an enmity that did not share the sky! How can this Li Zicheng let go of the emperor, besides, we are just this little bit of people, how can we protect ourselves, the death of the Ming soldiers and horses in the capital, who else is willing to protect the emperor again, what if Li Zicheng turns his face when he returns to the capital, this is self-throwing into the net, there is no power to turn back at that time, or go to the Flying Eagle Alliance to establish the prince as the new monarch, which is the most correct choice for the Ming Dynasty now! ”
What a lady's opinion! Emperor Chongzhen was afraid and helpless about this Queen Zhou, and now that Queen Zhou is sick, Emperor Chongzhen is also distressed and anxious, but the little Jiujiu in his heart has come out again and wants to return to the capital.
The eastward journey is too bitter and bitter, the freezing cold of this day is not something ordinary people can bear, even if you get to the Flying Eagle Station, how many people and horses can be left, not to mention that when you get to the Flying Eagle Station, your own emperor can be said to have done it! No, the prince is too young to bear the heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't have any good intentions when the great leader of the Flying Eagle established the prince as the new emperor! It is clear that he wants to learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes! This Ming Dynasty is not the Zhu family's future! No way! Never let the conspiracy of this great leader of the Flying Eagle succeed! This old eunuch Wang Chengen is really whimsical, what do you say when the time comes, kill the big leader of the Flying Eagle Alliance, and seize the military power of the Flying Eagle Alliance! When the Great Leader of the Flying Eagle is a three-year-old child, it is so easy to kill! Even this big leader has the power to communicate with ghosts and gods, which also makes people shudder! Those who are not of my race will have different hearts! Although this Li Zicheng is a thief, he is a son of the Han family after all, as long as he recognizes the Ming Emperor and kills the Ming Dynasty together with the Lian, it is the most hopeful.
But this week, the queen is also talented and intelligent, and after learning that she was infected with the wind and cold, she felt that she might leave at any time, so she handed over all the power of the eastward march to Jiang Wenguang and Wu Xiang, and asked the two to take the prince and others eastward! You can't go back to Beijing, and you dare to have someone who shakes the east, no matter who kills it! After receiving Jiang Wenguang and Wu Xiang's tearful and firm commitment to go east, Empress Zhou fell asleep with peace of mind.
Since Jiang Wenguang and Wu Xiang were entrusted by Empress Zhou's deathbed, they rushed to the capital and became farther and farther away from the capital, Emperor Chongzhen was anxious, and if they continued like this, the eastward trip out of Shanhaiguan was a foregone conclusion! There is no way to get it back.
Emperor Chongzhen took advantage of the eastward march to rest and recuperate, sent the newly appointed little eunuch Xiao Gongzi, and privately recruited their own Ming elites, fortunately, most of the officials still have their own emperor in their hearts, and they also showed their loyalty to the emperor Daming, and also had plans to return to the capital, I can't stand it, the weather is cold, and it collapsed.
Although the imperial physician Liu Chun did a lot of measures to prevent wind and cold, the flu was still contagious. The people of the eastward march were now panicking, fearing that they would die of a wind chill, which was fatal in the era without streptomycin. The eunuch palace maid was very depressed, and she was worried about Queen Zhou, this is a good queen, the mother is merciful in the world, no matter who has a severe cold, whether you are a eunuch palace maid or an official, they will not hesitate to let Liu Chun use penicillin to treat wind and cold.
It makes the old lady doctor Liu Chun feel distressed, this is the miracle drug streptomycin! There were originally fewer people brought by the pot, more people and less medicine, but now it's good, Queen Zhou is sick, and there is not a bottle of streptomycin left! Looking at the empty bottle, the old lady doctor Liu Chun was full of remorse, why didn't he secretly leave some in the first place, he blamed himself for being too compassionate, this is a miracle medicine! A needle will take effect immediately, alas, now that Queen Zhou is infected with wind and cold, but there is no miracle medicine, even half a bottle of streptomycin can be used, it doesn't matter who dies, Queen Zhou, the main backbone of the eastward marching army, can't die.
Imperial Physician Liu Chun checked Empress Zhou's pulse, looked at Empress Zhou's face, shook his head secretly, frowned, looked at the people around him, got up and saluted Emperor Chongzhen, and said heavily: "Back to Your Majesty, forgive the old man for being incompetent, if there is no magic medicine of flying eagles within ten days, the queen is probably ........" Imperial Physician Liu Chun didn't say any more, everyone knew what was going on.
Emperor Chongzhen was dizzy for a while, supported by the little eunuch and did not fall, at this time Emperor Chongzhen had long since lost the image of the emperor when he was in the capital, wearing a fox fur felt hat, wearing a gray fox fur brought out from the palace, his eye sockets were deep, his sideburns were white and his beard was messy, his face was full of white skin due to frostbite, his lips were white and purple, obviously malnourished, like a down-and-out middle-aged scholar.
Emperor Chongzhen angrily pointed at Liu Chun and shouted, "Imperial Doctor Liu! You will do everything you can to save Lian's concubine! Otherwise, you will be punished by the nine clans! Imperial Physician Liu Chun shook his head, I have heard the words of the Jiu clan many times a day, if the old man can save Queen Zhou, you don't need to do it, the old man will wipe his neck by himself.
Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the eastward marching army, comforted Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty must not be anxious to take care of the dragon's body, the last general has sent someone to Shanhaiguan to contact my son Wu Sangui to go out of the customs to find a miracle medicine, and there will be news in a few days." Jiang Wenguang also comforted: "Yes, Your Majesty, Queen Zhou's auspicious nature will definitely turn evil into good fortune." Wang Chengen was also anxious on the side, but he didn't dare to say a word about the crying prince Zhu Ciliang, and Emperor Chongzhen roared angrily at this time: "You bastards! And you old gelding! There is no king! Dare to deceive the queen out of the capital! The concubine of the harmful union is so seriously ill that her life hangs by a thread! It's all you! I want to punish you nine clans! Hearing that Wang Chengen was speechless, Emperor Chongzhen roared like crazy: "Lian wants to return to Beijing!" Lian wants to go back to Beijing to summon the world's famous doctors to save the concubine of the Federation! ”
Guoba only rolled his eyes when he heard it on the side, pointed at Chongzhen and shouted: "You are crazy! Back to the capital! There are no doors! Your wife's life is expensive! My flying eagle is cheap! My Flying Eagle was born and died for you! I've gone for more than a hundred good brothers, and I didn't say anything! If you bring it back to the capital, I'll kill you!" ”
"Bold! Come! Cut down this barbarian who has no king! Emperor Chongzhen roared angrily! For a while, the atmosphere in the room made Emperor Chongzhen very embarrassed, because no one listened to Emperor Chongzhen's words, and it was really a phoenix that was not as good as a chicken.
At this moment, I don't know if it was the blind Ming official in the room, and said cautiously: "The minister died and returned to the capital with the emperor!" Hearing this official's words, the whole room was quiet, quiet, and even the crown prince Zhu Ciliang stopped sobbing, struggling to see who was so kind from Wang Chengen's arm! Jiang Wenguang was even more surprised, but when he saw this person's face, he looked disgusted, pointed at the nose of this kind of official, and scolded: "Big traitor Chen Xinjia!" You get out of the way! ”
It doesn't matter who Chen Xinjia is, the important thing is that he is the agent appointed by Emperor Chongzhen to negotiate peace with the Manchus, originally this was Chongzhen's secret plan to delay the army, since the defeat of the Battle of Songshan, the Ming Dynasty no longer has any generals to fight, but the soldiers can fight, the most important thing is that there is no money to fight, Chongzhen's original ideal is to temporarily negotiate peace with the Manchus, and cut some cities to the Manchus, so that Chongzhen can rest for a few years, destroy the peasant uprising army of Li Zicheng and others, and then slowly plot against the Manchus, the idea is good, but the reality is cruel, and the policy is wrong.
After all, Chongzhen's secret peace with the Manchu Qing Dynasty was finally confused by the complacent Chen Xinjia, and everyone in the world knew that Chongzhen was very faceless, and he couldn't withstand the coercion of those pretending to be forced ministers, only by cutting off the **** Chen Xinjia's head, in short, the pigs of the Ming elite would rather die than negotiate peace, in order to show off their own Han family iron bones, so that Chongzhen was very helpless, so he could only cut off Chen Xinjia's head to rest the mouths of these pretending ministers.
As a result, at the critical moment, let Wang Chengen save Chen Xinjia according to the list of courtiers provided by Su Wenming to help the new monarch of the Ming Dynasty, and let Chen Xinjia join the eastbound army to pretend to be a eunuch, as for why Su Wenming wants Chen Xinjia to live, not for anything else, just because this person is pragmatic, pragmatic estimates are not common in the eyes of modern people, there is no real material to build a building and assist a road, what is pragmatism, that is, this person Chen Xinjia saw the dilapidated city wall and tried to repair it, saw the dilapidated weapons and dared to report to the upwards, and replaced the new weapons in a solid manner. Seeing that the soldiers were eating very poorly and daring to ask for food to improve, and seeing the bastards who drank the blood of the soldiers daring to clean up, this is pragmatic, Su Wenming looked at the entire Ming Dynasty, this Chen Xinjia is really a wonder, but I didn't expect Chen Xinjia at this time to be rebellious at this time, and no longer follow his own routine. ...
