Henan is the heart of the Central Plains since ancient times, is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, and is also a place where various civilizations communicate and integrate, so here, you may be able to see various customs and habits in various places, as well as dialect anecdotes.

It's a pity that this habit of Henan is to establish the pain of the people again and again, every time the dynasty changes, when the disaster breaks out, Henan is the first to bear the brunt, often many rebel rebels are developed and strengthened here, which also leads to the land of Henan, in disguise to become the land of a hundred battles, and it has the name of Phnom Penh silver horn straw belly.

Luoyang, one of the oldest ancient capitals in China, is also the most important city in Henan, unfortunately, the original lively and prosperous, the flow of people in Luoyang, after these years of war turmoil, especially after the Dashun army broke through the city, the city was carried out a large-scale looting, resulting in Luoyang now become depressed, of course, time is always the last recovery agent, after this period of time, Luoyang also slowly recovered its vitality.

At this time, in a restaurant outside the west gate of Luoyang, a man and a woman are watching the scenery outside the window while drinking Luoyang's famous Du Kang wine, because the south gate of Luoyang is the sparkling Luohe River, and it is May at this time, it is a good time to travel and step into spring, so looking at the lively scene outside the window, the two people in the tavern are also secretly happy.

"Husband, do you really plan to leave like this, from now on not ask about the world, and concentrate on seclusion? You know, that person treats you like this, don't you hate him at all? It was the woman who spoke, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but when she spoke, she saw a pair of red phoenix eyes, and her eyes were like paint. The bridge of the nose is not a small nose on one side, but a tall nose bridge like a man, thin lips, although it looks like a small and weak beauty, but the dead pride that leaked from time to time made the man on the side also bow down. Such a temperament does not destroy her beauty, but adds to her personality and makes it unforgettable.

Hearing the woman's question, the man drank the wine in the wine glass in his hand in one gulp, and said with a faint smile, "Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned." I, Li Yan, have been down, beautiful, and lost in my life. I've also been proud, and now I found out that I'm actually not a hero who can help the society and save the country from danger, I'm just an ordinary character, not to mention anything else, I can't even deal with a villain like Niu Jinxing, how can I have the face to say anything else. It just so happens that the king wants me to die. Then I'll follow his wishes, let's die like this, and it can be considered the friendship between the kings and ministers between us, what, don't you want to? ”

Hearing the man's words, the identities of the two were finally clear. It was in Zhangde Mansion that in order to save the Dashun army from decline, Li Yan and the Red Lady were invited to return to Henan to regroup, in order to fight again, but unfortunately, not long after Li Yan left. Li Zicheng listened to Niu Jinxing's words, saying that Li Yan went to set up his own door and try to replace the king, and Li Zicheng at that time did not have the experience to distinguish what is true or false because he was defeated, and he was full of resentment for a while, so he sent someone to kill Li Yan and his wife.

It's a pity, neither Li Zicheng nor Niu Jinxing expected that they underestimated Li Yan's prestige among the Dashun army, those who were sent by Li Zicheng to hunt down Li Yan, although they were Li Zicheng's henchmen, but they also admired Li Yan and his people very much, after catching up with Li Yan and his wife, they did not kill them, but told them the whole story, and any went back to life. was completely disheartened by Li Zicheng and Da Shunjun, just like that, he was playing around with the red lady during this time.

"Hmph, I told you a long time ago, that Niu Jinxing is a villain, let you guard against him a little, you just don't listen, King Li Chuang is not a good thing, you treat him wholeheartedly, but he still suspects you, wants to kill you, he deserves to fail, if he really makes him the emperor, I think he is a Zhu Yuanzhang again, seclusion or not, at least there are not so many things, from now on, you plough the fields and I weave, and live a peaceful life is better than anything else." Hearing Li Yan's words, the red lady was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and immediately complained to Li Yan.

He has a deep understanding of the pungency of the red lady, otherwise he would not have been able to rescue him from the county prison, seeing that although he was over thirty years old, he was still a wife like a girl, Li Yan suddenly smiled distractedly.

Just when Li Yan and his wife were talking here, two more people came on one side, because it is more expensive to dine here, so ordinary people will not come here, therefore, the tavern seems relatively quiet, the two people who just came in look at it are businessmen who often go north and south, and the smell of wind and dust on their bodies is very clear to Li Yan and the red lady.

I heard a person say, "Brother Cheng, tell my brother quickly, how your business has been doing recently, don't tell you, I can't do this grain business anymore, if you have a good business, you have to think about your brother!" ”

Hearing this person's words, the person known as Brother Cheng took a sip of tea and said suspiciously, "Brother Liu, this is impossible, you are in the grain business, from the south of the Yangtze River every year to harvest every year, the price of grain is cheap, and the war in the north is continuous, everywhere is in need of food, as long as you pour it, there will be a lot of silver in the account, how can you not make money?" ”

"Hey, my brother Cheng, you don't know this, you're right, that's why I did this business in the first place, but what people didn't expect is that the food in the south is really cheap, but the consumption on the road is too great, when the original court was there, those generals from all over the country didn't dare to blatantly ask for silver, but now it's good, since the city of Beijing was broken by King Li Chuang, those generals are not afraid at all, not only set up private checkpoints, collect money indiscriminately, but also fabricate all kinds of crimes, begging for military expenses, If you dare to have a little unsatisfactory place, they will raid the family and exterminate the clan, not to mention far away, Lao Chen in Zhejiang, Wang Million in Suzhou, have all been ruined not long ago, and they are all done by those damned soldiers! Speaking of this, that old brother Liu couldn't help but feel sad.

Seeing Brother Liu's sad appearance, Brother Cheng couldn't help but sigh and comfort him for a long time, while Li Yan and his wife, who were originally in a relaxed mood, no longer had the mood just now.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, if the elder brother really wants to change careers, he can give you a suggestion, but this suggestion requires some guts, I don't know if you can do it." Half a day later, Brother Cheng finally opened his mouth and whispered, fortunately, although he said it low, Li Yan and the Red Lady were both shrewd people, and they heard it very clearly.

"Brother Cheng said quickly, said quickly, if the brother can live well in the future, he will definitely not forget the kindness of the eldest brother." Hearing Brother Cheng's words, Brother Liu became excited.

"Brother Liu has been running in Jiangnan recently, and I don't know what I know about Shaanxi." Brother Cheng's voice was lower, but Li Yan and his wife, when they heard the land of Shaanxi, they immediately became interested in it, and they also wanted to know what happened to this land of Shaanxi, and Li Yan couldn't understand that the land of Shaanxi fell so easily into the hands of the Ming army.

"The land of Shaanxi, oh, I know this, Jiangnan has been spread all over, saying that the crown prince of the former emperor Chongzhen Emperor ascended the throne in Xi'an and changed the Yuan Hongguang, but what does this have to do with our businessmen?" Brother Liu said suspiciously.

Seeing Brother Liu's doubts, Brother Cheng said, "Hey, let me tell you, it's this Hongguang court, although the current Hongguang Emperor is the crown prince of the first emperor, but he is young, so all the government is by Qingtianhou, the prince Taibao, the cabinet minister and the world's rebel governor Shi Lei, Lord Shi decided, because the land of Shaanxi is very remote and the house is scarce, so Lord Shi ordered to gather merchants from all over the world to deliver materials to Shaanxi, no matter what materials, as long as they are transported to Shaanxi, they will be given silver at the highest market price, It's all in arrears, that's real money, I only shipped it twice, and I earned more than in the previous year, the reason why I came to Luoyang this time is to buy food, otherwise I wouldn't have found you. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Brother Cheng's words were finished, Brother Liu was immediately dumbfounded, and thought for a long time before saying, "Deliver goods to Shaanxi, Brother Cheng, aren't you afraid of being investigated, you know, the court of Dashun State has ordered that no one should be allowed to contact over there, aren't you afraid of death?" "The current Luoyang is still nominally under the control of the Dashun Army.

Hearing Brother Liu's words, he saw that Brother Cheng not only did not have a scared look, but said with a smile, "Hahahaha, Brother Liu, what you said is right, if it was before, I am afraid that I would be afraid, but from now on, I don't have to be afraid, but I can still transport it openly." Hearing this, not only Brother Liu was curious, but even Li Yan and his wife, who were on the side, stopped drinking and listened to what he said.

Seeing Brother Liu's face full of disbelief, Brother Cheng continued, "To be honest, Brother Liu was originally very scared, if there was really no way, no one would do this kind of head-killing business, but this time I am not afraid, do you know why, because I saw a big battle, the battle between the Ming army in Shaanxi and the Manchu Tartars, just on the edge of Tongguan, you don't know, the Ming army under the governor of Shaanxi is different from the general Ming army, the previous Ming army saw the Tartars, how far and how far to run, I can't wait for my parents to give them eight more legs, but the Ming army under the governor of Shaanxi Shidu is different.

They faced the Tartar army, not only did not escape, but also fought with the Tartars, you don't know, the body of the Tartars fell layer after layer in the Tongguan City, not to mention how miserable, later, I heard that the Shidu Governor made a great might, and all the 20,000 Tartars who came to attack were killed under the Tongguan City, when I passed by there, many people were still digging pits and burying people, I heard that it has been done for many days, you say, Shaanxi has such a powerful army, I still need to be afraid of any Dashun army in the future, in addition, When I left this time, an official from the imperial court who specialized in the household department also gave us a sign, saying that with this brand, we represent the imperial court and the Shaanxi Ming army, and we can ask the Ming army for help if there are any difficulties in the future. ”
