Chapter 25: The Unknown Future
"Master, the apprentice is at the end of the list this time, and he is still on the Golden Palace, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there is such a big ugly, and he has fallen into the face of the master, and he asks the master to punish him."
After coming down from the top of the Golden Palace, after seeing the scenery of Li Wensi and others, the new champion, and others went to the street, Shi Lei followed behind Liu Xiangyan, who was about to go back, and said with a remorseful face.
Hearing Shi Lei's words, Liu Xiangyan's face was full of playful smiles, and after a long time, he said, "You little rabbit cub, at this time, you are still playing with me, believe it or not, I beat you, and I laughed out of my heart, and now I have a look of grievance, and people who don't know still think that I am what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ah, hey, the apprentice is still immature, and he still can't escape the master's eyes, it's just that he can leave the big prison in the capital, and the apprentice is really happy in his heart, but, originally, the apprentice wanted to go to the south, and now, Your Majesty actually sent the apprentice to Li Zicheng's heartland, don't you say that I am going to die?" After listening to Liu Xiangyan's ridicule, Shi Lei also put down the pretense in his heart and said.
"Hmph, it's really not wrong to say that you are a kid, don't look at the south now and can maintain a calm surface, but that's just that there is no excessive crisis outside, besides, you only see the benefits of the south, but you don't see that it is not actually suitable for you, not to mention anything else, where from the first grade of the big man to the ninth grade of the small official, there is a certain relationship, you are a new official, the official is not big, and there is no strong backer, how can you realize the ideal and open up the situation, it is estimated that when you open the situation, Is it not certain that Da Ming exists or not? ”
After listening to Shi Lei's words, Liu Xiangyan said in a somewhat solemn tone.
"However, at least I can still use this official body in the south, and when I get to the place in the northwest, it is not surprising that I may be 'clicked' immediately, besides, what is the situation in Shaanxi now, I don't know at all, I don't know anything about what Yulin is, if I just go, I guarantee that there will be no bones left." Seeing that Liu Xiangyan also agreed to go to the northwest, Shi Lei also said helplessly.
"Hmph, look at your bear, as the only disciple in my life, do you think I will harm you, if there is no certain certainty, how can I support you in the past, now I will tell you about the situation in the northwest, and save you from worrying all day long." Seeing Shi Lei's cowardly face, Liu Xiangyan said with some hatred.
Under Liu Xiangyan's telling, Shi Lei finally had a little understanding of the current situation in the northwest.
The reason why Shi Lei thinks that going to the northwest is a dead end is that according to the information of later generations, he has always believed that the entire Jiangbei region, except for the capital and his nearby Shandong, and other places, has been occupied by Li Zicheng's army, especially Li Zicheng's hometown Shaanxi is his top priority, but he didn't expect that it would not be the case at all.
It turned out that although the current Chuang army looked at the strength of millions of soldiers, conquering cities and conquering cities, and being invincible, but that was just the appearance, the main reason was that there was no regular army in the entire north except for the nine-sided region, and the rest were some newly recruited people, or warlords like Zuo Liangyu who were afraid of the enemy like a tiger.
And Li Zicheng's group, although it seems to occupy a huge area, in fact, the places that are really controlled by him are only a few relatively large cities, and most of the remaining places are either directly appointed as a county commander after being attacked, or directly appoint the original county commander to continue to manage the place.
In this case, now under the strong force of the intruding army, there will be no problems, but if the intrusive army is hit, it will immediately collapse like a snowball, after all, those Ming officials who can take refuge in him can also take refuge in others another day.
In addition, there are some places that did not take refuge in the army, and the army did not directly move on these places, Yulin is such a place, Yulin was originally just a small town, in the Ming Dynasty, in order to resist the invasion of the Mongols, Yulin was set up as a guard for the soldiers.
Later, because Yulin is the place where Mongolia is handed over, it is the main road for Mongolia to enter the customs, so after a hundred years of natural development, it has become a free market between the Central Plains and Mongolia, and then slowly developed into the current Yulin County, so although Yulin is a county, most of them are soldiers, and it is also an important town.
It is really because of this reason that from the twelfth year of Chongzhen to the present, in just four years, Li Zicheng, who has rapidly grown from more than a thousand soldiers to hundreds of thousands of soldiers to hundreds of thousands of deployments, does not dare to attack this place at will.
"According to what the master said, it seems that this Yulin is not like a ghost gate as others say, but a bit like a paradise." After listening to Liu Xiangyan's explanation, Shi Lei said with a lot of relief in his heart.
"Xanadu, so it is not wrong, in the eyes of some people, he is the Xanadu of this troubled world, but you must know that even if it is Xanadu, it will not always be stable and peaceful, although the current Li Zicheng will not attack Yulin, but that is because he has a more important offensive target.
If the time comes, after the entire north is pacified by him, do you think he will still leave Yulin alone, let alone such a small place as Yulin, even if it is a powerful Jiubian, he will try his best to take it down, so whether you can open up the situation in Yulin depends on your own ability. Seeing Shi Lei's expression, Liu Xiangyan couldn't help but say.
"Hahaha, with these detailed information of the master, you just give me a bamboo pole, I can pry the earth, let alone open up the situation, after being taught by the master for so many years, if you don't even have such a little means, wouldn't it be a shame for the master?" Hearing Liu Xiangyan's words, Shi Lei said with a smile
Sitting on the swaying ox cart driven by Shi Erdan, Shi Lei did not have the slightest sleep, after Liu Xiangyan's detailed analysis of the whole body, Shi Lei was full of hope for the trip to Yulin, originally, I didn't know where he was going to be after the New Year, but now with such an opportunity, how could he not grasp it, besides, no matter what kind of development there is in Yulin, it is better than staying in the capital and facing the two deaths of the country, one is Li Zicheng's destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the destruction of the alien race in China.
When he thought that he was going to fulfill the promise he had promised to that girl, Shi Lei's heart suddenly became hot
Just when Shi Lei had already opened his heart and was full of expectations for the trip to Yulin, an exciting conversation was being staged in the palace.
"Father, why did you demote him to a county order, or a county order in the land of tigers and wolves, aren't you killing him in disguise, is it because of the strategy he proposed to move the capital, but it was the child who forced him, he said it, if you want to punish, punish your daughter and let him go!" In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Weiyuan, who usually had a calm face, as if nothing would attract his attention, said with a look of remorse on her face at this time, and her eyes were red and swollen.
"Bastard, how can you talk to your father, I am the son of heaven of a country, how can I change the absolute things I made, besides, the reason why I punished him was not because of his strategy of moving the capital, but because he slept soundly on the main hall and despised the court etiquette, besides, how could you, a harem woman, intervene in the major affairs of the court." Seeing that her usually well-behaved daughter dared to be so unusually in front of him today for the sake of an irrelevant person, Chongzhen suddenly rose with boundless anger.
"Yes, he violated the law of etiquette, and you should punish him, but even if you want to punish him, you should send him to another place, what kind of place is Yulin, where is the lair of thieves, in this way, he has no other way but to die." In the face of Chongzhen's reprimand, Zhu Weiyuan still argued with reason, you know, she is not one of those worthless harem women, he has been studious since he was a child, smart and clever, under Chongzhen's intentional connivance, he is even more proficient in state affairs than a college student, and even Chongzhen is amazed by the proposed method.
In the face of Zhu Weiyuan's arguments, Chongzhen was speechless for a while, in the matter of Shi Lei, he did do something inauthentic, but in his eyes, Xiang Shi Lei is such a small person, if he dies, he will die, there is no big deal, but now in the face of Zhu Weiyuan's questioning, he doesn't know how to justify, and in a moment of anger, Chongzhen shouted loudly
"Go out, you give me out, go back to your palace, think about it behind closed doors, don't come out if you can't figure it out."
With the support of the palace maids around her, Zhu Weiyuan reluctantly retreated, but in the face of the angry Chongzhen, she had no choice.
Seeing Zhu Weiyuan, who had withdrawn, and Queen Zhou, who had been sitting next to her in a hurry, Wen Yan said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Wei Yuan is still young after all, and there is no big deal if you can't figure out some things for a while, Your Majesty will teach her more in the future, why be so angry?" ”
After listening to Queen Zhou's words, Chongzhen just shook his head and said, "Hey, you don't know, this matter is indeed my fault, but I have no choice, for the sake of the great tomorrow, let alone sacrifice a Shi Lei, even if it is a sacrifice of more people, I will not hesitate, but I didn't expect that for this Shi Lei, Wei Yuan was so concerned that I couldn't deal with it for a while, so I could only let her go back, wait for you to see her, and comfort her by the way." ”
