Chapter 131: Nanjing (19)
At that time, although there was no poem of "rushing to the crown and being angry", the gossip spirit of the Chinese people was unparalleled and unparalleled. People fleeing north have not stopped, why didn't Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui negotiate good conditions, which led to a big rebellion, and there is only one person who can know the inside story of this matter now...... That is Zhu Cihong in the Nanjing Palace.
Who else but him can really understand?
I don't understand, that is, I guess at will, the lace news is naturally the most widely rumored, Liu Zongmin robbed Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui was already on the way to surrender, and he was furious after hearing the letter, and immediately swore to raise troops...... How, I'm afraid, the parties know best.
So when it came to this matter, even Dong Xiaowan and the others opened their eyes wide, pricked up their ears, and waited for what would happen next.
Seeing everyone like this, Kou Baimen suddenly smiled.
She was originally the most beautiful one of Qin Huai Bayan, at this time, a smile, the cold and glamorous color on Shicai's face was all gone, and under a smile, it immediately made people feel like a spring breeze, warm and comfortable, just this smile, Yu Huai already felt that the trip was worthwhile.
"The sister of the Chen family was robbed by Liu Zongmin, but she was sent back within a few days. And Li Zicheng summoned Wu Xiang and apologized in person...... Do you think, Wu Sangui has 50,000 or 60,000 strong soldiers in his hands, and according to the danger of closing the door, when Li Zicheng is about to win him over, how can he ask someone to rob his favorite concubine? ”
"I see." Liu Ru smiled and said, "In this way, I will be much more relieved." ”
Chen Yuanyuan's fate was very bad earlier, first he had no fate with Mao Xiang, and then he was robbed into Beijing by Emperor Tian himself, and was rejected as a gift to the emperor, and then transferred to Wu Sangui.
Even if you are a prostitute, you are sent back and forth like goods, like duckweed without roots, I am afraid that I feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Wu Sangui is quite fond of her, and when everyone heard that she had returned to Wu's mansion, they were naturally happy for Chen Yuanyuan.
"So, what exactly are you talking about?"
After all, the women are women, no matter how they can play the piano, calligraphy, painting, poetry and books, but after all, the women's words are too casual, and when they hear it now, Yu Huai still doesn't know the point.
"I know that you are now the prince's pro-plucked speaker, and you are very busy." Kou Baimen glanced at Yu Huai, paused, and the look on his face returned to the serious look he had just now: "Two things, first, when I left Beijing, there were already rumors that Li Zicheng was defeated at Shanhaiguan, and there were already rangers who had entered Beijing. When I arrived in Tianjin, I heard that Li Zicheng had returned to Beijing, but I don't know if it was true or not. ”
"What?" Yu Huai was very surprised, Huo Ran got up, and asked, "Is this news true?" ”
"Of course, it's true."
Kou Baimen said solemnly: "I haven't seen whether Li Zicheng will return to Beijing or not. However, when he went out of the city, he saw with his own eyes that there were defeated soldiers who had returned from the gate, and their appearance was very miserable, and the banners, armor, and weapons seemed to have been lost. You must know that when they left the city, there were 60,000 or 70,000 people, and even the eldest husband who was arrested along the way was afraid that there were nearly 100,000 people, but not many of them came back one after another. ”
"This is a fiasco." Yu Huai's eyes were glazed, and he muttered: "Ping Xibo has tens of thousands of soldiers, and the Guanning army is also a strong town, but is it so powerful?" ”
"If Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui fight, I'm afraid that Wu Sangui will lose more and win less." Kou Baimen said very calmly: "The second thing is that Dongyu has already entered the customs. ”
This news is actually more thrilling than the first one. But people in Jiangnan really don't have much impression of the so-called Dongyu.
The closest they came to Nanjing was when Bing Feng went southeast from the mountains to spy on the area around Xu Huai.
Later, Shi Kefa and others led troops to garrison and enrich the defense of the Nanzhili area, and the Qing army saw that there was no chance, so they withdrew their troops and went north.
Because of his lack of understanding, hearing such news, Yu Huai didn't show too much expression, he was still surprised by Li Zicheng's defeat, and he couldn't extricate himself from it.
However, Liu Ru was very vigilant and asked: "So, Li Zicheng was defeated in the hands of Dongyu, right?" ”
"Hedong-kun is really smart." Kou Baimen nodded lightly and said, "That's right, that's it. ”
The tragic battle against a piece of stone, Kou Baimen would not have known, and everything he said was, of course, what Chen Yuanyuan wrote in his letter.
After Wu Sangui was defeated, he immediately sent someone to infiltrate the Beijing division to contact the people in Wu's mansion, and the most important thing was, of course, his father Wu Xiang, of course, he didn't know that on the way to retreat, Li Zicheng's patience ran out, and he had already ordered Wu Xiang to be beheaded to vent his hatred.
As for the people in Wu Fuzhong, as soon as Wu Xiang died, there was no man, Liu Zongmin was seriously injured on the front line, and no one dared to fight any more ideas, and invisibly, the control was relaxed.
As soon as the news was passed in this way, the people in the Beijing division knew that the situation was serious. Li Zicheng was defeated, the main force was lost, Yanjing couldn't stay, and the Donglu was invaded by the Ju clan this time, and it was already difficult for the Jingshi to keep it, and whether the Dongyu continued to be difficult to defeat was also very difficult to predict!
Chen Yuanyuan is well-informed, after all, the husband and wife are the future kings of Pingxi, after Wu Sangui shaved his head and surrendered, he was also very concerned about the safety of his wife and children at home, and when he communicated, of course, he would tell the truth and appease his family.
There is no need to flee, just wait for him and the Qing army to enter the city.
"The sister of the Chen family has a heart, she said that she was once plundered by thieves, and it was the crown prince who saved her when he was patrolling the city wall. Now that the Dongyu has entered the country, it is not like in the past to loot the property and leave after Dingkou, she asked me to try to report to the crown prince, as soon as possible, the future enemy is not Li Zicheng, but the Dongyu. ”
Even a very smart genius like Yu Huai disagrees with Chen Yuanyuan's conclusion.
Even if Dongyu has been troublesome to the imperial court in Liaodong for decades, where has this kind of border trouble been reduced in all dynasties? From the pre-Qin antiquity, to the Uighurs and Tibetans of the Tang Dynasty, to the Dangxiang, Khitan, and Jurchen of the Song Dynasty, the history of the nomadic and fishing and hunting peoples who threatened the farming peoples is endless, except for the luck of the Mengyuan and Yuan, how many have succeeded?
How do you look at it, this barbarian regime called "Qing" has no more than 100,000 soldiers, and the whole clan only has more than 200,000, what kind of big waves can it turn over?
However, they cooperated with Wu Sangui and defeated Li Zicheng, which is very important news.
Because of the changes in the battle situation below, what kind of response Li Zicheng will take, and what kind of measures will be taken by Daming's side, are very noteworthy and careful.
Kou Baimen is a sea route south, all the way is very smooth, the wind direction is very right, so it is much faster than the land route, so the news heard here is really the latest first-hand information.
Seeing Yu Huai's face change, Liu Ruyin smiled and said: "Don't doubt it, a few days ago, Mu Zhai was going to have a big treat, and yesterday the Baimen girl arrived, and when I mentioned this matter, I said, Ming said that there are visitors, I don't know how many people there are, even if the news can't reach the emperor and the prince in the first time, it will spread all over the southern capital in the blink of an eye. ”
"It's a big deal." Yu Huai said: "I want to go back to the palace immediately, please see the prince." ”
"Okay," Liu Ru was very refreshing, and immediately stretched out his hand to send off the guest, and said with a smile in his mouth: "I won't ask you to write poems this time, and you don't have to eat wine...... Wait for next time! ”
"It's all trivial." Yu Huai smiled and said to Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan and the others: "On my behalf, I salute Chaozong and Bijiang...... Originally, I was looking for them, but now I don't have the time. ”
Hou Fangyu is a noble son from the Donglin family, who has always been above the top, and he is also a chivalrous man in the Fushe and is very well-known. The same is true of Mao Xiang, Li Xiangjun married Hou Fangyu, Dong Xiaowan married Mao Xiang, they were originally very proud, but at this time, they saw that although Yu Huai was cold in the robe, he was in the center, but in comparison, Hou Fangyu and others were much more discolored.
At that moment, the women just smiled and nodded, but Yu Huai strode out, Liu Ru went out to see him off, and as soon as he arrived near the door of the inner house, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers in his ears.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Shicai Liu went in a hurry, only knowing that a few guests were in the house, and she was in a hurry to pull Yu Huai and Wu Weiye away, but she didn't ask what they were talking about.
"Congratulations to Hedong-kun." Yu Huai was very anxious, and had already asked the people of the Qian Mansion to lead the horse, so he just smiled and said, "The honorable husband has bowed." ”
After that, he shook his body and waited for the horse to lead, then turned over and got on the horse, and galloped away in the direction of the palace ban.
As for how Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru explained each other, how to explain clearly what the Military Affairs Department was, and the scope of its duties...... This is Mr. Mu Zhai's own headache, and his own mission is really heavy.
………… Hurried all the way, Yu Huai was born in a cold background, can not be compared with those who walk the horse Zhangtai, usually walk or ride a car more, at most ride a mule, this horse is not often ridden, and there is no bag with the squad leader, and when he bumps all the way to Chengtian Gate, he is still wearing a cloth coat, and when he gets off the horse, he grins his teeth and is very embarrassed.
"Isn't this Yu Wuhuai? What is he doing here? ”
After Fang Yizhi fled south, he did not have any official position, and the original Shu Jishi was only an idle position, and he happened to be idle. However, after meeting the prince when he returned to Nanjing a while ago, within a few days, he was asked to make up for the lecturer of the East Palace, but Fang Yizhi has been lazy recently, and after seeing the prince twice, because he saw that there was no serious errand, and the course was not drawn up, he did not enter the palace for several days.
Chen Zilong is already more than thirty years old, his body is strong, his ears are big, his long beard is over his chest, he glanced at Yu Huai, and said with a smile: "Wuhuai is also a lecturer, and he enters the palace every day to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and this alone is much more diligent than you!" ”
