"The child has seen his mother. "When Shizhu returned to Shi's house, he saw that the old lady Li Cuier was watching the blooming chrysanthemums in the courtyard under the support of Zhu Weiyuan.www.biquge.info

After the stone pillar saluted Li Cui'er, he saluted Zhu Weiyuan on the side and said, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Big brother get up quickly, the concubine has already said, since the concubine has married into the Shi family, then she is not a princess, just the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, in the future, the eldest brother must not be called like this, otherwise if outsiders hear it, they will think that the concubine is bullying?" Seeing the stone pillar saluting to herself, Zhu Weiyuan hurriedly said.

"Hey, hey, okay, Zhu'er, since Wei Yuan said so, you don't want to salute in the future, it's all a family, why bother to be so angry, it's not good, by the way, what are you doing, why are you not at home early in the morning." Li Cui'er said with a smile.

Hearing Li Cuier's words, Shi Zhu's heart jumped suddenly, and he immediately said with a smile, "Mother, isn't this the third brother leading the troops to go on the expedition, this time Xi'an City has become empty, especially the garrison is also a lot less, although the imperial court is now strong and strong, but if someone really takes advantage of this opportunity to do some bad things, it will not be good, so the child goes out every day to see, but unfortunately, I originally wanted to help some people, but now the child is just a white body, and I can't speak, and I can only look outside and come back." ”

In Li Cuier's heart, the reason why she was able to abandon the previous suffering in the Shi family and accept Shi Zhu was that she wanted Shi Zhu to become Shi Lei's helper, although Li Cuier didn't know how much power Shi Lei had now, but in his mind, no matter whether Shi Lei's position was high or low, he needed helpers, after all, 'one fence with three stakes, one hero with three gangs' This is an eternal truth.

Now that she saw that Shi Zhu was really able to do this, she was also very happy, thinking that everything she had done was not in vain, but after thinking of the meaning of Shi Zhu's words, Li Cuier also understood that if she really wanted Shi Zhu to help Shi Lei, then she must give him a certain status.

Thinking of this, Li Cuier said to Zhu Weiyuan beside her, "Weiyuan, you see that your eldest brother has been here for so long, and there is no serious thing, originally the old man wanted to let the calf find him an errand, but the calf was afraid that he would be sick for a long time, and he was sick from exertion, and now it has been such a long time, Zhu'er's body has completely recovered, it is better to find him an errand, what do you think." ”

Hearing Li Cuier's words, Zhu Weiyuan on the side thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong, more importantly, he was a daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, although she was a princess, but if she vetoed her mother-in-law's intentions like this, it would not be very good, so Zhu Weiyuan immediately said, "Mother is right, the eldest brother and Xianggong are brothers, with the help of the eldest brother, Xianggong will be able to save a lot at that time, but I don't know that the eldest brother wants to serve in that yamen." ”

Zhu Weiyuan's last sentence was asked at the stone pillar.

Hearing Zhu Weiyuan's question, Shi Zhu's heart almost jumped out with excitement, he could only lower his head, biting his tongue desperately ninja, and after a long time, he pretended to be a little embarrassed and said, "Mother, brother and sister, the eldest brother is a little ashamed when it comes to this matter, the eldest brother has been dull since he was a child, and he is not as smart as the third brother, so he hasn't read much of it, this civilian yamen is forgotten, as for the army, it is even more needless to mention, the eldest brother has been weak since he was a child, and he is overwhelmed by his responsibilities, so, thinking about it, the eldest brother is really useless." ”

After listening to Shi Zhu's words, whether it is Li Cuier or Zhu Weiyuan, they are a little helpless, although now Shi Lei is in power in the entire Shaanxi Imperial Court, and officials can be arranged, and they are all awarded according to talent, and it is not impossible for a person like Shi Zhu to arrange a good position, but in this way, it will have an impact on Shi Lei's reputation, and this is the last thing the two of them want to see.

Just when Zhu Weiyuan was embarrassed, Shi Zhu said in a timely manner, "Mother, brother and sister, you don't have to be embarrassed, the child also knows that this matter is not easy to do, so the child has already thought about it, for so many years, although the child has no other skills, but he is good at observing characters, these eyes can be regarded as practicing some doorways, as long as it is those who have something in their hearts, the child can not say that he can see through it at a glance, but he can also see a seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight, and now it is the time when Xi'an City is empty, If there are some people with different intentions who enter Xi'an City to make trouble at this time, it will be very troublesome, it is better to be a child who guards the city, so that he can also play the role of a child, and will not let others gossip about our Shi family, I don't know what you think. ”

After hearing Shi Zhu's words, Zhu Weiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if Shi Zhu wants to ascend to the sky in one step to be a big official with real power, then Zhu Weiyuan is probably very difficult, even if he is the identity of the princess and Shi Lei's wife, it will be very troublesome to do it, but now it is different, you know, a city gate official is not a big deal at all, he just needs to say hello to the relevant people, he can easily do it.

"Big brother, but in this case, I will be wronged by you, but don't worry, this is just a transitional period, and after a while, I will definitely give you a suitable position." Zhu Weiyuan said.

It's a pity that when Zhu Weiyuan felt embarrassed and said this, he didn't expect that although the stone pillar looked indifferent on the surface, his heart had already blossomed.

"Tell me, should the officials agree to this? If the officer agrees, can you stop him even when he is causing the most damage? Inside the cabinet yamen, Jia Hanqing asked the monkey two and Zheng Tianzhu standing in front of him.

Looking at the letterhead in Jia Hanqing's hand, Monkey Er and Zheng Tianzhu glanced at each other before saying, "Please rest assured, Lord Jia, we have now controlled Shi Zhu and others in an all-round way, no matter what he wants to do, even if he says how many words he said in his dream, we will know in time, so, according to Xia Guan's thoughts, you still agree to this matter, and more importantly, if Shi Zhu has been controlled in the city, we don't know what other plans he has with the Manchus, but as long as he has this position, Then we will be able to follow the vine and catch them all, and maybe there will be some windfalls. ”

"Okay, since both of you have said so, then the official has nothing to hesitate, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to the princess, now it's okay, the best of both worlds, not only to be able to put a long line to catch a big fish, but also to give the old lady and the princess a satisfactory explanation, kill two birds with one stone, of course, you also have to pay special attention to one point, now the lord is leading the army outside, it is when we are the weakest, at this time there must be no accidents, everything that is harmful to us, You must strike in time, as long as the safety of our rear can be guaranteed and will not affect the army in front, this officer can give you the right to act cheaply. Jia Hanqing said while writing official documents.

"Please rest assured, my subordinates know what to do, and during this time when my lord sends troops, I will not let anyone disturb the peace of Xi'an." The two of them said solemnly.

....................

After more than a month of preparation, after savings, the Ming and Qing armies finally made all the preparations, a shocking war finally slowly kicked off, the Manchu army, under the arrangement of Azig, along the line of Dongting Lake, with Changsha Mansion, Yuezhou Mansion, Wuchang Mansion as the center, established a huge defensive front, on this front, the Manchu army invested a total of more than 400,000 troops, of course, in addition to the 40,000 Manchu Eight Banners Army and the two Mongolian Eight Banners Army, there are not many troops that can really fight, Especially those Han troops who surrendered in the past, except for the hardcore traitors such as Xiang Wu Sangui and Liu Liangzuo, the remaining Han generals are just some wall grass, let them fight a good battle and reap the benefits, one is more powerful than the other, but when they really want to fight a tough battle, they all start to cheat and play tricks, so it is precisely for this reason that Azig will decide to focus on defense this time, otherwise, with Azig's temperament, let alone more than 400,000 troops, even if there are only more than 100,000 people, He had already taken the initiative to attack the Ming army.

In the face of the Qing army's defensive strategy, the Ming army also made corresponding arrangements, with Li Yan as the main Henan army, attacking Wuchang Mansion defended by Ao Bai and Wu Sangui, with Li Dingguo as the main force, leading the Sichuan army to attack Changsha Mansion garrisoned by Hong Chengchou, and finally, Shi Lei personally led the army to attack Yuezhou Mansion garrisoned by Azig, so that the three-way army, like three sharp arrows, directly attacked the three places.

Among these three places, although the Changsha Mansion garrisoned by Hong Chengchou has the largest number of troops, with nearly 200,000 troops, all of them are Han troops who have surrendered, and there are not many people who can fight hard at all, that is, there are only a lot of people, and the real combat power is the Yuezhou Mansion defended by Azig, although the strength of Azig is not as large as the strength of Hong Chengchou, but except for the Han army of tens of thousands as a reserve army, all the rest are elite troops.

Under the city of Yuezhou, when the army led by Shi Lei appeared not far away, they were greeted by the Qing army that had already been prepared for defense, because the water network outside Yuezhou City was connected, and it was not like the north, and a horse and a flat river could allow large-scale cavalry to attack, so the Ming army had stopped five miles away.

Although the terrain outside Yuezhou City is not conducive to the charge of large-scale cavalry, so that the Ming army's attack ability has been limited to a certain extent, but Shi Lei is not so worried, the reason why this is so, is because, in this kind of place, the biggest loss is not the Ming army, but the Qing army, you know, the Qing army has always been accustomed to cavalry tactics, a blow missed, thousands of miles away, and if they can use the strong attack power of the cavalry to defeat the enemy, they will desperately pursue until the victory.

But now that this is the case, it is tantamount to saying that the Qing army took the initiative to give up their advantages and changed to a positional war that they were not accustomed to to confront the Ming army, so that Shi Lei still had something to be unhappy about.

Just when the Ming army had just stopped and was encamping, I saw a fast horse running from Yuezhou City, and then came to the front of the Ming army, and shouted loudly, "Shi Leike, my prince asked me to come and invite you to the front of the battle, I don't know if you dare to go." ”

After hearing the shouts of the Qing army, Shi Lei and the others couldn't help laughing, and then under the protection of many guards, they came to the city of Yuezhou.

Although he hadn't seen Azig, when Shi Lei came to this group of people, he stared at a strong man, who was Azig.

Seeing Shi Lei staring at him, Azig couldn't help laughing loudly, "Hahaha, it's better to be famous than to meet, I usually hear about Lord Shi, today this king finally saw you, I didn't expect it to be just a stinky kid, it's really no hero to make the shaft famous!" It seems that you Han people really have no one left, let such a kid break into such a big thing. ”

"Bastard"

"Bold"

"Barbarians, they don't even understand interests."

As soon as Azig's words were finished, some of the generals around Shi Lei couldn't help but open their mouths and scolded loudly.

What made Azig feel a pity was that Shi Lei was not stimulated by his words, and said with a smile on his face, "Hahaha, originally the official thought that the Prince Ying of the Manchu Dynasty could be a big man, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing, although the official is not very old and lacks ability, but it is much stronger than you barbarians who lead beasts and cannibals, otherwise, under Tongguan, he would not have killed 20,000 of you in one fell swoop, by the way, your good brother, if Duoduo hadn't escaped by luck, I'm afraid you'll be able to see his head right now. ”

As soon as Shi Lei's words came out, Azig, who was originally proud, suddenly became blue on his face, and after a long time, Azig slowly returned to normal, and said with a sneer on his face, "Good, good, good, worthy of Shi Lei, no wonder it can become the most powerful opponent of our Manchu Qing, but unfortunately, if you develop slowly step by step, maybe you can barely survive for a while, I didn't expect you to jump out so quickly, do you really think that you can defeat this king this time, tell you, that's just delusional, My Qing Dynasty is ordered by heaven, and God is destined to rule the world, and anyone who tries to stop us will end up in a pile of juice. ”
