"Haha, Brother Ming, let's raise a glass together, let's do it!" Sun Yuan laughed, walked up to Zheng Chenggong, and touched the cup with him.

Zheng Chenggong saw Sun Yuan toasting to him, his face turned red with excitement, and he hurriedly stood up and drank it all.

Sun Yuan didn't return to his seat, and said, "Brother Ming, our two families have been fighting on the Yellow Sea for almost five years, right?" How many warships were destroyed in the flames of war, and how many hot-blooded men slept on the cold seabed. Hey, why is that? ”

Speaking of this, Sun Yuan's face was sad: "Now, Zhang Xianzhong has swept the entire south, Li Zicheng has occupied Guanzhong, and the world has reached the point of being out of control." Although he is not talented, he is also willing to mention the three-foot Qingfeng, hang the people to cut down crimes, and help the people in fire and water. In this catastrophe, I Ming no matter the government and the people, can not stay out of the matter, I think, Ming Yan also has a mouthful of blood in his heart, and he also wants to fight for the court for the common people in the world. Those soldiers who died because of the friction between you and me are the essence of the army, the only remaining vitality of the nation, how can they be consumed in such a meaningless war

。 Now, you and I have shaken hands and made peace, and you and I will be brothers in the future and go to the national disaster together. ”

Zheng Chenggong's eyes were slightly red with excitement, and he saluted respectfully: "That's right, Zheng Sen visits his brother." ”

"Brother Zheng, you and I will be a family in the future, so why be polite." Sun Yuan helped him up.

Everyone at the same time shouted hello.

Zheng Hongkui, who was only on the side, scolded "hypocrite" in his heart, this war is not the beginning of the Zheng family. As soon as Sun Taichu arrived in Yangzhou, he vigorously formed a sailor and constantly challenged the authority of the Zheng family on the sea for five years.

Now, the town of Yangzhou has won a great victory, almost driving the Zheng family's forces from the Yellow Sea to the Taiwan Strait. The Zheng family has been forced out of breath by them, and in order to get a chance to rest, they have no choice but to sign this alliance under the city.

Sun Yuan took advantage of it, but now he is pretending to say something to serve the country. If you Sun Taichu really have this intention, why didn't you lead the troops north when Jiannu entered the customs for the fourth time; When the thief army was in Huguang, why didn't you see your Yangzhou army going up the river and relieving the people from fire and water? Instead, throwing all his forces into the Yellow Sea in the east is nothing more than a huge profit from shipping.

This guy is really thick-skinned.

After experiencing the Battle of Quanzhou, the Zheng family was harassed by the Yangzhou Navy and couldn't stand it, so they could only start negotiations again.

The two sides have been arguing at the negotiating table for two months, and today they have finally reached an agreement: from now on, the Zheng family and the Yangzhou sailors will accept the peace and completely open the Yellow Sea to Japanese waters. From now on, this route will be shared by the Zheng family and Yangzhou Town, that is, in the future, everyone in Japan and North Korea can do their own business, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. However, after the Zheng family's fleet entered the Yellow Sea, it had to report here in Yangzhou in advance to limit the scale. In return, the Ningxiang military promised that their warships would not enter the Taiwan Strait again.

Such conditions can be called harsh, no matter how you look at it, the Zheng family has almost lost the whole of Japan.

Up to now, this golden waterway has been completely caught by Yangzhou Town.

Zheng Hongkui quietly clenched his fists: That's it, that's it, it's just that. The Ningxiang army was forced too hard, and the family also needed to recuperate. Wait another year or two, wait until we recover, and then we'll fight again. At that time, it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

It's a pity that Fusong's child is full of blood, and he was easily fooled by Sun Yuan's hypocrite's words

。 (.marshmallow)

Hey, the eldest prince still needs to be experienced!

After the peace treaty was formally signed and the blood alliance was made, everyone set up a banquet and drank and feasted.

This time, the banquet between the two sides is still located in Yuejiang Building, and the Zheng family is still attended by Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Sen. However, Shi Lang and the other two attendants also set up seats. As for Yangzhou Town, in order to show the importance of this peace treaty, not only Sun Yuan, Huang You, Fu Shan, but also Zhu Xuanshui, Ah Da, Fei Hong, Wen Ermei, Jiang Wu, Wen Jianjian, and Tang Wenxing have arrived.

More than a dozen people gathered together, crowding a warm pavilion, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

Everyone is a person who leads the troops, even if it is Zheng Chenggong, he will be the commander of the army in the future.

After drinking for a long time, the topic naturally brought up to the current battle situation.

The time has reached the end of December of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and the situation has deteriorated to the point where it can no longer deteriorate, especially in Shaanxi.

During this time, an earth-shattering news came that Li Zicheng took Xi'an, prepared to change the Yuan Dynasty, and ascended the throne as emperor, while Sun Chuanting died on the battlefield.

Here's the thing, just over a month ago, Sun Chuanting and Gao led a thousand remnants of soldiers to retreat to Tongguan, although the imperial court sent 30,000 horses from Shanxi, but these 30,000 people are basically a number. On October 6, Li Zicheng's army drove to Tongguan and immediately launched an attack.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had no strength to fight back, and it was impossible to even hold on. Gao Jie and Bai Guangen retreated, and Tongguan fell within a day.

Sun Chuanting escaped from the chaotic army and retreated to Tongnan. Tongnan County has been sacked by the thief army many times before, and it doesn't even have a city wall, so it can't be defended at all. As a result, the prison army Qiao Yuanzhu murdered Sun Chuanting and surrendered to Li Zicheng.

On October 10, Li Zicheng took Lintong and arrived at the city of Xi'an the next day.

It is said that the city defense of a Xiongcheng city like Xi'an is stronger than Kaifeng. No matter how strong Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were in Shaanxi, they never fought Xi'an. But now there are only 5,000 Sichuan soldiers in Xi'an City, and this point of people and horses is sprinkled on the city wall, and there is no human figure immediately, which can be said to be full of loopholes, which is almost equivalent to no defense.

Because of this, Wang Genzi, the lucky general who defended the city, was completely desperate for the future, and without firing an arrow, he directly opened the city and surrendered

。 In this way, the largest city in the northwest fell to the enemy.

After taking Xi'an, the high-spirited Li Zicheng began to attack the northwest, first leading Liu Fangliang's troops to the north to chase Gao Jie.

Gao Jie knew that he was not Li Zicheng's opponent at all, and now he only had 1,000 cavalry left in his hands and the 30,000 remnants of Shanxi that the imperial court had replenished him last time. Once it falls into Li Zicheng's hands, there is no way to live at all.

So, he first retreated from Tongguan to northern Shaanxi, and when Li Zicheng's army attacked, he took the opportunity of the Yellow River freezing and ran directly to Shanxi.

In the following year, when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing through Shanxi, Gao Jie, a good man, fled south directly across the Yellow River and went directly to Nanjing.

Li Zicheng did not capture Gao Jie, and began to attack the three sides, Yan'an fell, Guyuan Town, and Ningxia Town also surrendered one after another, and all the sergeants of the three sides joined the invasion army.

At the same time, the Chuang army marched west in mid-November, and soon went to Lanzhou, and is now attacking Ganzhou.

At the same time, Hanzhong also fell.

The whole of Shaanxi, plus Ningxia and most of Gansu, are already in the hands of Li Zicheng.

So far, Li Zicheng is already in full swing. To the north of the Yangtze River, it has occupied half of the country. As for the troops, the Chuang army integrated Luo Rucai's department, the fifth battalion of the Gezuo, and the trilateral sergeants, which was extremely strong.

At this time, even if Sun Yuanning's township army was all in Shaanxi, facing these hundreds of thousands of thieves, he was afraid that he could only take a defensive position strategically.

Today, the imperial court has almost no soldiers available in the north. Only the Nanjing Ningxiang Army and the Fujian Navy Division can be regarded as formed and combat-effective troops, but unfortunately, Zhang Xianzhong is attacking Jiangxi, and the devil knows when he will fight. Sun Yuan also has no way to move the nest, and if he really wants to be copied from the nest. If Nanjing is lost, the Ming Dynasty will really have no hope. As for the feudal sailors, to be honest, the Zheng family's navy is the dragon king of the seven seas on the ocean. But as soon as they come ashore, they are loaches, and they immediately become a rabble. This point was particularly evident in the Battle of the Yangtze River in which Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan attacked Nanjing in the Southern Ming Dynasty, where hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten into fools by the Manchu Han army in just a few days.

However, those present here are either generals who command the troops or strategists who are strategic, and they are all very interested in military affairs.

So when everyone was drunk and hot, they soon brought the topic to the war in the northwest, and some people took out the map of Shaanxi to discuss the gains and losses of the battle of Tongguan

。

Because of disagreements, everyone even quarreled, and the atmosphere was really warm and abnormal, and even Zheng Chenggong participated.

Everyone poured wine on each other and made a loud noise. Jiang Donkey drank high, and even directly hugged Zheng Chenggong's brother and shouted non-stop. Leng Ying and Shi Lang are not convinced by each other, in fact, Shi Lang is not convinced by Leng Ying, the two of you fight with me and I fight with each other, and we have to divide the victory and defeat.

The two families fought and made peace, and they all looked at each other, and the people in the room were as affectionate as a family, laughing from time to time.

Only Huang You sat there with a miserable face, the country was about to perish, how could this wine be eaten, but these soldiers were still happy to be like this, no, no!

In fact, the composition of the people in the Ningxiang army is complicated, either the nine-sided border army that was inscribed as the army, or the military households of the guards, or the thief army who surrendered to Cheng; And the Zheng family sailor is simply a pirate. As for Fu Shan, what he learned was dragon slaying, and this person even did such a thing as being a mountain man fighting the autumn wind, and he had already lost his temperance.

They can have today, they are all promised by the commander and the family, as for the Ming Dynasty, it has not given them any benefits. Therefore, whether it is the court or the world, it is meaningless to them.

They owe allegiance only to their commander-in-chief.

Now when I talk about this unprecedented catastrophe, it is as if I am talking about something that has nothing to do with me, and I am so excited.

I don't know how long it took, Huang You suddenly lifted the wine jug on the table, opened the lid, drank the rice wine that had no heat in one gulp, and then cried: "Sad, sad! ”

It was really the cuckoo crying blood, and everyone turned their heads in astonishment, and then closed their mouths.

Sun Yuan knew that Huang You's heart was hurting, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Huang is drunk, send him back quickly." He turned to Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui and said, "Brother Ming, Mr. Yan, let's stop here today!" ”

The Zheng family got up one after another and bowed their hands: "Okay, let's have a drink on another day." ”

It's already afternoon, and it's still cold. Yuejianglou leans against the Yangtze River, and there is constantly a white fog rushing in, and this fog has not dispersed since morning.

The climate in Nanjing is actually not very good, with hot and humid summers and cold winters. Especially for Sun Yuan, a person who had been living in the north in his previous life, this kind of soggy cold was the most unbearable

。

Fortunately, today Sun Yuan reached a reconciliation with the Zheng family, and after getting the route from the Yellow Sea to Japan and North Korea, he was in a good mood and felt a little drunk.

He asked Fei Hong and the others to send Huang You back to his house first, but he was not yet happy, so he only took Fu Shan alone to slowly disperse under Yuejiang Tower.

There was light snow on the ground, which should be considered frost, and the boots rattled as soon as they walked up.

Sun Yuan turned back to Fu Shan and smiled: "Lord Qing, in the past two months, Nanjing has bothered you. Now that the negotiations with the Zheng family have been completed, the resources of our army can finally be withdrawn from the water division and enriched to the army. Moreover, since the route from the Yellow Sea to Japan is smooth, the benefits will certainly be considerable, and I am very relieved. ”

Fu Shan: "What should be done is good because the merit is complete." By the way, the amount owed by Ma Shilang's side is about the same. ”

"What's the situation?"

Fu Shan: "General, Ma Yao still owes our army 100,000 taels of silver. It is estimated that Ma Shilang is really out of luck, so he used a lot of materials to offset the account. ”

"It's okay to offset the bill, anyway, if I get the money, I will exchange it for supplies."

Fu Shan: "That is, I got some grain, coal, iron ore, mules and horses, and armor." In two months, these supplies should be equivalent to 60,000 taels of silver, and I am being transported to the town in batches. However, Ma Shilang said that he could only gather these things, and no matter how much he could, there was no way. ”

Sun Yuan laughed: "That's not possible, the eldest husband has to be a good man, Ma Yaocao can't break his word and get fat." Master Qing, you still have to stay in Nanjing and continue to harass Ma Shilang, my Sun Yuan is not a master who suffers easily. ”

Fu Shan also laughed: "Don't worry, even if the general asks me to go back, I can't bear to serve the horse." It's a pity that there are still more than ten days before the Spring Festival, and I am afraid that this year will be spent here. ”

Sun Yuan: "Nanjing is the land of gold dust of the Six Dynasties, a prosperous place in the world, and it is better to spend the New Year here than in the Tongzhou military camp." Lord Qing, I don't know how many people in the army envy you for being used in Nanjing. ”

With that, both of them laughed.

At this time, there was a sound of sweeping the floor from the reading lecture building.

The two looked back, but saw that it was an old man with a dysentery who was sweeping the snow on the side of the building with a broom

。 It turned out that this Yuejiang Building was an official property, and this old man was guarding and cleaning it on weekdays, and when he saw that Sun Yuan and the others were scattered, he came to clean it up.

This old man has been alone for about a long time, and likes to talk to himself: "This woman, this woman, every fifteenth month, comes to hang a bunch of willow branches, why bother, why bother?" ”

Sun Yuan's heart was inexplicably shocked, and he looked over, but saw a bunch of fresh willow branches hanging on the column head of Yuejiang Tower, and there were crystal water droplets sticking to it, which was probably condensed by cold mist.

In an instant, Xiao Lu's pair of Dan Fengyang appeared in Sun Yuan's mind.

Sun Yuan couldn't help but step forward and pointed to the bunch of willow branches: "This and this, this and this ......"

The old man with dysentery wanted to kneel down: "The villain greets the big man!" ”

"Get up!" Sun Yuan pulled him up, pointed to the willow branch and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Seeing Sun Yuan's terrible expression, the old man trembled all over, and he didn't speak anymore: "Huh...... The old man is ...... This is something that someone hung up...... On the fifteenth day of every month, I will come to hang and hang...... I don't know why......"

"Every fifteenth month, I will come to hang willow branches!" Sun Yuan screamed, realizing that he seemed to have done something very important, his hands tightened, and he asked, "Do you know what the person who hangs the willow branch looks like?" ”

"Of course I know."

The old man described it for a long time.

As soon as Sun Yuan heard this, his head exploded with a "buzz", isn't this the little girl Xiaolu in Ma Shiying's mansion?

She actually came here every fifteenth month and hung willow branches.

Could it be that she has been waiting for me Sun Yuan?

This kid ...... Silly?

Sun Yuan stood there dumbfounded, smiling bitterly except for a wry smile.

"It was just a misunderstanding!" Sun Yuan muttered.

Yes, in his heart, since Zhu Ting's death, Sun Yuan felt as if his heart was dead, and he would no longer feel for any woman

。

As for that little green, Sun Yuan just treated her as a child, and he wouldn't think of going anywhere else at all.

Just kidding, how old is Xiao Lu, but at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he will feel guilty.

Moreover, there is such a thing as love, if you don't feel it, you don't feel it.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how long he stood there, Sun Yuan only felt that his hair had been wet with mist, and a drop of cold water entered his neck, making him sober up.

At this time, the old man with dysentery was still sighing: "Poor, pitiful, this young lady of the Ma family is famous, and she has become a laughing stock in Nanjing." ”

"Miss Ma?" Sun Yuan took a breath of cold air: "How do you say this?" ”

"The girl who comes to hang willow branches every month is the second lady of the horse squire in the city!"

"What, how do you know she's Ma Shiying's daughter?" Sun Yuan was shocked.

The old man said, "Why don't you know, every time Miss Ma comes, she comes by sedan chair and brings a maid." She has been here for several months, and the villain also thinks it is strange, so he secretly inquired about the maid who came with Miss Ma, and then he knew her identity. ”

The old man is probably also a gossip person, and when he saw Sun Yuan's kindness, he became bolder, and his speech became sharp: "The villain guards this Yuejiang Tower here every day, and I don't know how many dignitaries and nobles have served, but the things in Nanjing City are clear." This Miss Ma is really pitiful, first she was promised to Liu Chao by her father, but Ma Shilang repented and killed Liu Chao, this Miss Ma has not passed the door, she has become a widow, her reputation is completely bad, and she has become a laughing stock in the city, and now, no one dares to come to the door to ask for relatives. ”

"Looking at today's situation, this Miss Ma should have fornicated with someone. It's a pity that her lover probably came from a bad background, was afraid of the power of the Ma family, and gave up and ran away. ”

"Maybe this willow branch is Miss Ma's letter when she sympathized with Lang's private meeting, but she has not changed her mind, and she still comes here on the fifteenth day of every month, how can she get it if it goes on like this?"

Speaking of this, the old man with dysentery couldn't help but wipe his eyes.
