Chapter Ninety-Four: Conditions

To the surprise of Kupilon, Concubine Zhuang was not as surprised or angry as he expected, but sighed: "Hey, the Great Khan once told me before he set out on the expedition that Liu Cheng is actually a complete type of person with him, the only difference is that he was reincarnated on the side of the Jurchens, and that Liu Cheng was reincarnated in the Han family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Great Khan also said that since he can't beat Liu Cheng, then just follow him, anyway, for hundreds of years, the Jurchens have been vassals who have been guarding the border of the Ming Kingdom, nothing more than changing their masters, and being Liu Cheng's pawn! Since the fortune is gone, we must accept our fate, and the most important thing is that the clansmen can continue! ”

Concubine Zhuang's answer was tantamount to injecting a shot of strength into the body, he kowtowed, and said in a low voice: "Master, the slave has a plan, he can arrange a way out for the little master, but he is a little reckless, and he asks the master to forgive him!" ”

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help but lift her spirits when she heard what she said, the little master in his mouth was the boy that Concubine Zhuang had just given birth to, and he was the widow of Huang Taiji, that is, the Shunzhi Emperor in history. (Historically, Emperor Shunzhi was born in 1638, and here is a year ahead of schedule, forgive me!) As the saying goes, the mother is more expensive than the son, and the son is more expensive than the mother, if Huang Taiji was still alive, this boy would naturally be loved by thousands of people, and Huang Taiji was defeated and died, so naturally no one cared. And the mother and son are connected, and Concubine Zhuang's pity and love for her son is not less, but it has added a little more.

"Hey, it's all like this now, you're not doing it all out of loyalty, where is there any forgiveness for sins and forgiveness! Reckless or not reckless? Concubine Zhuang sighed and said to Aunt Su Mala on the side: "Aunt Su Mala, you bring a stool for Kubilong, sit and talk!" ”

"Thank you, master!" Ji Bilong kowtowed, and did not back down: "What the slave means, let the little master worship Liu as his father-in-law!" ”

"Worship Liu to become a stepfather?" Concubine Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and then she understood the intention of Ji Bilong: "Then Liu Chengnai is a general of the Ming Kingdom, and I am an enemy country, doesn't he want to send me and Fulin to Beijing to offer prisoners and merit?" ”

"I don't think so!" Ji Bilong smiled slightly: "If I guess correctly, after Liu Cheng destroyed my Dajin, the next step is to use troops against the Ming Kingdom!" This person is very ambitious, and the measurement is also wide, after defeating Lin Dan Khan, he first killed Bu Lost Rabbit Khan to avenge Lin Dan Khan, and adopted Lin Dan Khan's second son, in his name to lead the Mongolian tribes, and now the Monan tribes have become his minions. If he adopts the little master as an adopted son, if nothing else, at least Shangsanqi will be grateful to him, and it will be very beneficial to him, the little master, and you! ”

Concubine Zhuang thought for a while, as Ji Bilong said, after the death of Huang Taiji, the only residual value of her and her son is the appeal of Shangsanqi, but it is useless to have appeal, you have to have enough strength. Looking around the world, there is only Liu Cheng who has enough strength and needs this appeal. She was originally an extremely decisive character, and said to Aunt Su Mala: "You take a short knife!" ”

"Yes!" Although Su Malagu didn't know what Concubine Zhuang was for, she still habitually obeyed the order. Concubine Zhuang took the short knife from Su Malagu's hand, cut it on the index finger of her right hand, and the blood immediately gushed out, she didn't wait for Su Malagu to exclaim, she tore off a piece of cloth from the placket, and quickly wrote a few lines of words on it with her right index finger, and took out a jade seal from the cabinet next to the pillow, tied a knot on the button on the jade seal, and handed it to Kubilong and said: "This is the private seal of the Great Khan, there is no evidence, you give this to Liu Cheng, and you also have a credential!" ”

Kupilon hurriedly got up and knelt down, stretched out his hands to take the seal, put it in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Master, please be patient, the slave will fight to the death to give the little master a future!" ”

"Get up!" Concubine Zhuang helped Kubilon up from the ground and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have anything to reward you now, Aunt Su Mala, you go and bring the mink cloak that the Great Khan used to wear and put on it for the general!" ”

"Thank you, master!" Suppilon stroked his soft cloak, his eyes already filled with tears.

Chongzheng Palace.

The sky is already bright, the weather in Shengjing is cool in the early morning of summer, the morning breeze blows through the locust tree next to the hall, only the sound of a branch and leaf is heard, and it seems to be quiet. This Chongzheng Hall was originally a place where Huang Taiji and his relatives and ministers discussed political affairs, after the death of Huang Taiji, Dai Shan and others changed the place to discuss political affairs to update some Phoenix Tower, which is a little desolate. But today the popularity of this place has returned to the past, and the people are still those people, but they are all disheveled and embarrassed, many of them have no braids and messy hair, and some people don't even wear shoes, and they are barefoot. But one thing is the same, that is, the look on everyone's face is very confused. A black-faced man with pants scolded the guard sergeant outside: "Who is your boss, don't be too immoral in doing things, just catch it, let Lao Tzu take a trouser belt, wear a pair of boots and go out again, you can't let Lao Tzu just keep carrying his pants, right?" ”

"Stop shouting!" A person next to him pulled a handful: "Don't annoy them, drag you out and cut you!" ”

"Cut your hair!" The black-faced man's voice was a little quieter: "I guess it's Dolgon or Abatai who returned to seize power, otherwise why did the sky change overnight?" Damn, if you seize power, you will seize power, and you will grab Lao Tzu from the bed, and you won't even give a trouser belt, fortunately, it's summer, if you don't freeze to death in winter! ”

It's no wonder that the black-faced man has such a misunderstanding, because of the internal response of the curb, many soldiers are simply in the two yellow flags, last night's surprise attack by Ah Gui was a great success, except for a few places such as the treasury There were small-scale conflicts, other places can be said to be bloodless. Almost all of these ministers and magnates were caught in bed, and they were sent here for some reason. Many people also thought that this was another coup d'Γ©tat within the Eight Banners elites, and they had no will to resist at all. The killing of Emperor Taiji by the three Dolgon brothers has broken the political rules of the high-level of the Houjin Dynasty, since Daishan and Zilharang did not kill the three Dolgon brothers to maintain this rule, then why did these pro-noble ministers jump out? Anyway, whether it's Abatai or Dolgon, they all love the Xinjueluo family, and there is no need for us who are courtiers to get involved in their family affairs.

While these people were thinking nonsense, Ah Gui was surrounded by dozens of beggar cavalry, coming along the East Street towards Miyagi, and it was Ye Dacheng who followed him closely, listening to Ah Gui's words respectfully: "Brother Ye, you did a good job last night, but I have one more thing for you to do next!" ”

"Brother Xian, please speak, I will definitely do a good job of the mission!" Ye Dacheng didn't sleep all night last night, but his spirit was surprisingly good. Overnight, the city of Shengjing changed owners, which made him more and more glad that he had made the right choice.

"Hmm!" Ah Gui nodded: "Although this Shengjing City has been taken, there are at least 20,000 Jurchen men inside and outside the city, even the old and weak, and there are only more than 3,000 people under me. I'm going to reorganize the Han army here, I don't know if you can pick up this burden, big brother! ”

"Me?" Ye Dacheng was taken aback by Ah Gui's words: "Ah Gui, I used to be just a battalion officer, the Han army around Shengjing has a total of tens of thousands of people, and there are seven or eight battalions, and I have no qualifications and prestige, how can I manage it?" ”

"Big brother, isn't this an urgent matter?" Ah Gui sighed: "The dozen or so people in the courtyard last night were all on your usual basis, right?" After last night's incident, they can be regarded as people who have experienced ups and downs with you, and you will gather them all later, and each of them will be the deputy battalion officer of his battalion, and they will definitely miss your affection. If you really can't control it, you can simply put it outside the city. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, what my family Jinong values most is people with ability, if you catch these Han troops, a deputy general will not be able to escape! ”

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, Ye Dacheng heard that Ah Gui promised such a generous reward, his face suddenly changed greatly, he gritted his teeth and stomped his foot: "That's it, just fight it, eat dry and eat thin, just look at this experience, virtuous brother, you can rest assured, Lao Tzu is giving away this life, and he will also give you this Han army!" ”

"Good!" Ah Gui patted his palm: "I'll give you thirty Sauron soldiers, they only listen to your orders, don't be afraid to kill people when it is critical!" ”

"I understand!"

Ah Gui sent Ye Dacheng away, and the group had already arrived at the gate of the palace city, just bumping into Curb Pilon and Actun, the three of them met for the first time after entering this Shengjing City, and the three of them didn't close their eyes all night, but they all saw two fires in the eyes of the other two people.

"General Gui, the four city gates, the arsenal, the grain depot, the treasury and the palace city have all been controlled, and the princes and ministers have also been sent to the Chongzheng Palace, how to deal with it?" Acton said in a deep voice.

"What about Zilharang and Daishan?"

"I also caught it, but I was locked up in the Phoenix Tower, not with anyone else!"

"Well done!" Ah Gui smiled: "These two people are in our hands, and there will be no major incident." Acton, there are two things for you to do: one is to immediately pick ten trustworthy good riders, each with three horses, divided into five groups, and rush to Daning City to spread the news that we have taken Shengjing to your lords! ”

"Hmmm! I'll do it when I get back, but what about the second one? Acton asked.

"When this is done, immediately take out of the treasury a silver tael and a cloth cloth and give a reward, twenty taels of silver for each man, two pieces of cloth, double the wounded, double the number of those killed in battle, and fifty taels of silver for the officers. You have to do this matter yourself, watch the reward money be handed down, let's sit on the fire now, and we must not make any trouble! ”

"Don't worry, sir, I will send the reward money down and eat, and I will never delay!" Acton also understood that the composition of the army under their command was complicated, including Mongols, two yellow banner troops, Cossacks, beggars, so to speak, a rabble, in the enemy's capital but not allowed robbery, if not as soon as possible to fulfill the promise in advance, I am afraid that something will be out of control. He bowed his hand to Gui, turned and got on his horse and left.

"How's going on with you?"

"It's done!" Kupilon took out an object from his arms: "This is the blood letter of Concubine Zhuang asking Lord Jinong to avenge the Great Khan, as well as the private seal of the Great Khan!" ”

"Well done!" Ah Gui was overjoyed when he heard this, the most worrying thing for him was how to hold out until Liu Cheng's army arrived, although when he left Ningguta, he had already sent his envoy to Daning City for his plan to raid Shengjing, if nothing else, Liu Cheng should have received the news. But anything can happen on the battlefield, and even if Liu Cheng receives the news, it is another matter whether he will immediately mobilize the army to fight. After all, there is not much hope for the success of his plan, and now it is only summer, and Liu Cheng, whose main force is cavalry, can maximize the strength of the army when the horse is fat in autumn. Under normal circumstances, Liu Cheng would not receive the news until a month later, and it would be at least two and a half months before the mobilization of the army into Liaodong was completed, and the time for Dolgon and Duoduo to rush back after learning the news must have been much earlier. During this time, Ah Gui had to integrate the forces in Shengjing City as quickly as possible until Liu Cheng arrived. And Concubine Zhuang and Huang Taiji's posthumous son is the best choice - that is, to have unquestionable legitimacy for the throne, without worrying about being attacked by it. So after taking Shengjing City, the first thing he did was to ask Kubilong to protect Concubine Zhuang's mother and son, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

"But Concubine Zhuang, she has one condition!"

"Conditions? What conditions? ”

"She hopes that Lord Jinong can adopt her son Fulin as an adopted son, just like that Abunai!"

"I'm afraid that's not something I can call the shots, right?" A wry smile appeared on Ah Gui's face: "How did you answer her at that time?" ”

"That's what I said to her, but I promised her that I'd tell Jinong-sama about it!"

"That's fine!" Ah Gui thought for a while: "Anyway, this is also a live talk, you go to Phoenix Tower with me, and then we have to deal with the main master!" ”

Compared to his colleagues in the Chongzheng Palace, Dai Shan and Zilharang fared much better, at least they kept their shoes and belts, thanks to Ah Gui, who specially arranged for officers from the Two Yellow Banners to be responsible for capturing Dai Shan and Zilharang, who would not catch the wrong people, and second, they were relatively less rude than the Cossacks and beggars. But the faces of the two men were still ugly - they had been treated this way for many years.

When he heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming from downstairs, Zilharanhuo stood up and took a step forward, but when he saw Dai Shan still sitting on the side, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shame - after all, it was the former Heshuo Baylor, not to mention anything else, this Tarzan collapsed forward and did not change color.
