Just as he was about to fall asleep, he only heard the voice of a male duck: "The holy decree has arrived, Zeng Hualong has received the decree", "Zeng Hualong, the governor of Shandong, will come to the palace tomorrow morning to meet him!" ”

"Zeng Hualong's Command". According to the provisions of **, Zeng Hualong gave Yaya 500 taels of silver for labor fees. Of course, this news also arrived at the same time to Li Long, where will Hu Shen ......

"Li Long, you are not a court official yet, and you are not qualified to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty, tomorrow I will go to the court to recommend you to Your Majesty and then enter the Hajj to see you."

"Yes, sir."

In the early morning of the next day, Zeng Hualong finished freshening up and breakfast, and then got on the sedan chair and went to the palace.

In the council hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs were still waiting in the main hall, just waiting for the emperor to arrive. Half an hour later, Emperor Chongzhen came to the main hall followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids. Sit down.

"If you have something to do, you will play early, and if you have nothing to do, you will retreat," Ya Ya danced in the dust and shouted in a sharp voice

"Shengshang, Weichen has something to play" Zeng Hualong had already planned the first meeting, holding the court board. Towards the board. It is a tool for the ancient ministers to go to the palace to face the king. In ancient times, when the minister of civil and military affairs met the king, he held the wat with both hands to record the king's orders or wills, and he could also write down the words to be played to the king on the wat board to prevent forgetting.

"Okay, Zeng Hualong, the governor of Shandong, what do you want to do?" Emperor Chongzhen asked

"The holy mountain recruits Weichen to come, it is about the thief's matter, and now the thief is very fierce, the thief is gathering troops and horses to attack Kaifeng, and successively capture its subordinate Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Chenliu, Tongxu, Weishi, Weichuan, Yanling, Linying, Changge, Xinzheng, Bishui and other more than ten cities. Rampant when it came. Li Zicheng besieged the city, the governor Gao Mingheng and the general soldier Chen Yongfu tried their best to resist, and Yongfu shot Li Zicheng in the eye, and Li Zicheng withdrew from the siege. Gao Mingheng did not come to the imperial court this time, but also to prepare for Li Zicheng. Now Weichen is going to Beijing to report on his work, and in order to seek the will of the saint, he will deploy defense in Shandong as soon as possible and organize thieves to go north," Zeng Hualong gushed

Zhou Yanru, as the first traitor of the Ming Dynasty, of course would not let Zeng Hualong resist Li Zicheng so smoothly, and hurriedly went out of work: "Shengshang, you can transfer the troops of the Daimyo's Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion, and Zhangde Mansion to resist, as long as the soldiers and horses of the thieves are blocked in the Daimyo's Mansion, the east, the thieves can't take Shandong, and the north, the thieves can't cross the Yellow River." Holy Heaven"

Emperor Chongzhen stroked his beard and said: "What Zhou Aiqing said is very true, immediately protect my Daming country, and annihilate the thieves, I ordered Aiqing to be the overseer and go to the Daimyo's Mansion to supervise the army." ”

"Wechen obeys the order". Zhou Yanru has oil and water to fish again this time.

Zeng Hualong thought to himself that there were such traitors in the Ming Dynasty, what a great disaster. Hey, let's sweep the snow in front of the door by myself, and protect the people in Shandong first. Fortunately, I have a seedling in Shandong, Li Long. First of all, I want the emperor to recommend it. Let Li Long serve in Shandong.

Zeng Hualong continued: "Shengshang, now that I am the right person to employ people, Your Majesty should pay attention to the generals."

"Zeng Aiqing, do you have any talent to recommend?"

Although Emperor Chongzhen loves money, he also loves talent. Originally, the palace was not divided, but in today's Layue, Emperor Chongzhen decided to separate the palace and appoint talents on a large scale, but under the whole world, he couldn't find a few good generals who could resist the Qing Dynasty. The thieves in the south are serious, and only a few civilian officials are resisting, and they are not bound by the world at all. Successive thieves, Zhang thieves captured Huguang, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, Shaanxi and other places. If Emperor Chongzhen is not sober, the world of the old Zhu family will be torn apart and die.

"Your Majesty, Wechen found a general Miaozi in Shandong, his name is Li Long, this person is familiar with military formations, strong martial arts, is actually a person with both civil and military skills, and Wechen is on the way to Beijing, it is this person who protects the safety of Wechen.

"When Weichen passed by Hejian Mansion, he was attacked by two or three thousand bandits, at that time there was only one general under Wechen's command, and his troops were less than five hundred, and there was no strong bow and crossbow, in the face of thousands of bandits, Weichen's heart was cold, and he said: Wechen can't be loyal to His Majesty, I can't imagine that since my dignified Shandong Governor is going to die in the hands of a group of bandits today, at this time, Li Long led a hundred archers to attack the bandits, and Hu Shen will lead the remaining four hundred officers and soldiers to ambush the bandits on the road after all,,"

Before he finished speaking, a young general planned Zeng Hualong's words, and asked Zeng Hualong when he came out of the class: "Lord Zeng, there are nearly 3,000 bandits, and you only have less than 500 people, how can you dare to say that if you set up an ambush on the road of the enemy's retreat, this Li Long is so sure that he can defeat a strong enemy several times his own?" ”

Zeng Hualong thought it was someone, it turned out that this person was the famous Shanhaiguan general Wu Sangui, he was also ordered to come to the capital to report on his work, and it happened that Zeng Hualong and Wu Sangui met at the court.

Who Wu Sangui is, I believe that people who are familiar with Chinese history know. Wu Sangui was born in the Jiangmen Wang clan in Liaodong, Wu Xiang learned martial arts since he was a child, and was good at riding and shooting. Wu Xiang heard and witnessed how the Ming Dynasty lost Guangning in the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), how Xiong Yanbi was rumored to be the head of the Nine Sides of Liaodong, and how Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, was imprisoned and died. In the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Wu Xiang was transferred to Beijing by order and married Zu Dashou's sister. Zu Dashou is a prominent family living in Liaodong, Wu Xiang became Zu Dashou's brother-in-law, and Wu Sangui became Zu Dashou's nephew. The marriage of the Zu and Wu families made Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui father and son find a strong backer, and also made the power of the Zu family stronger.

Under the teachings and influence of his father Wu Xiang and his uncle Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui studied literature and martial arts, and was admitted to the martial arts examination before the age of 20, and since then he has followed his father Wu Xiang and his uncle Zu Dashou to start his military career. In the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, Fang Yizao, the governor of Liaodong, and the eunuch Gao Qiqian, the imperial horse supervisor of the two towns of Guanning, reported to the imperial court for approval, and Wu Sangui was promoted to the general soldier of the Ningyuan regiment at the age of 27. Wu Sangui went from guerrilla, staff general to deputy general, and then to the general soldier, and his promotion was beyond the norm. First, it is related to his knowledge of literature and martial arts, and his ability to speak and speak, and it is also related to his father Wu Xiang and his uncle Zu Dashou is the chief soldier, and the other key is that Wu Sangui worships the imperial horse eunuch Gao Qiqian as his father-in-law. Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, was transferred to Liaodong at the beginning of the year, and found that the Liao army lacked training, which affected its combat effectiveness, so he appointed Wu Sangui as the chief officer of military training and was responsible for military training. Later, Wu Sangui participated in several battles: the Battle of Xingshan, the Battle of Songshan, and the Battle of Songjin. Although Wu Sangui had a record in the above battles, he not only showed his wisdom and brave character, but also exposed his fear of death and speculation, and the two-sided nature of this character later determined Wu Sangui's fate.

In other words, Wu Sangui is a capricious traitor.

Zeng Hualong saw that it was Wu Sangui, so he didn't dare to slack off, and shook his hands. Although Zeng Hualong is the governor and Wu Sangui is the chief soldier, the two are of the same rank, but the current era is different from the previous years. The era of emphasizing literature over military force has passed, and in the face of the million-strong army of Tartars, a general like Wu Sangui who can fight well is much higher than Zeng Hualong in the imperial court

"Mr. Wu, how about you listen to me?" Zeng Hualongdao

Wu Sangui replied: "Lord Zeng, please speak"

"Li Long asked me to lead a hundred archers to attack the bandits, I thought at first that she had no combat experience and did not dare to talk to him, but where do I have any available generals?" Zeng Hualong helplessly spread his hands to the ministers of civil and military affairs and said

Tian Hongyu, Wu Sangui, and Zu Dashou all nodded in agreement. Including Emperor Chongzhen also agreed, and it is clear that there are really few available generals at the moment.

"Lee Long through its command, and heroic. It took more than three hours of bloody battle with the bandits to repel the bandits, and he was seriously injured, and the bandits were attacked by our general Hu Hui on the way to retreat, and the bandits were defeated. Seven hundred and sixty-three were beheaded, and eighty-three were captured. Victory. Our army suffered less than 100 casualties. Zeng Hualong said triumphantly

"Okay, leave Xuan Li Long and go to the palace. I want to reward him. "Emperor Chongzhen really needs such a good news, since Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzong, the Qing army is in turmoil. There is not a single piece of news that can lift the whole army and the whole country.

The ducks and ducks went to pass the order and didn't say anything.

Wu Sangui in the hall listened carefully to Zeng Hualong's words, and the military genius Wu Sangui could see at a glance that Li Long was also a genius. If you have the opportunity, you must talk to Li Long about the wine.

"Your Majesty, Li Long brought" Duck Duck replied

"Grass people Li Long has seen my emperor's majesty, may my emperor live long live, may the Ming Dynasty be eternal forever" Li Long knew that he didn't have any official position yet, and he couldn't be called a micro-minister, so he also learned to call himself a grass man on TV.

"You are Li Long, why are you young" Emperor Chongzhen did not let Li Long flatten, but asked directly. Although Li Long greeted the people of the old Zhu family in his heart, he still replied respectfully: "It is the grass people"

"I've heard Governor Tsang tell your story, it's very exciting, what reward do you want? Just tell me."

"The grass people don't want any rewards, the grass people are willing to serve the country in the army" Li Long's answer surprised Zeng Hualong and the ministers of the imperial court, originally thought that Li Long would take the opportunity to ask for beautiful women, jade silk and other things. As a result, he replied that he only needed to be a soldier.

At this time, Zeng Hualong pushed the boat down the river and said: "Your Majesty, there are no generals under Weichen, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" "This is very clear, that is, to ask the emperor for people, and ask the emperor to give Li Long a general. Chongzhen is not a fool, can't he hear it

"Li Long, are you willing to be a general under Lord Zeng?" Chongzhen asked

"The grass people are willing, go to the soup and go to the fire, and they will not give up," Li Long replied with his head knocked to the ground

"Proposed decree, Feng Li Long is the subordinate general of Zeng Hualong, the general of Qingzhou Mansion, and directly under the jurisdiction of Zeng Hualong, the governor of Shandong."

Immediately, the officials of the Ministry were issued by Li Longfa with the official office and official seal. Issued the Emperor's Decree to Li Long and asked Li Long to retreat first.

After that, Zeng Hualong and other court officials continued to discuss the matter of defense outside the gate on the main hall, and ignored it.

After returning to the inn, something unusual happened.

More than three years ago, Tian Wan was still an inconspicuous little person, at that time, his father Tian Hongyu was just a thousand presidents in Yangzhou, and he was not much better than the current Lord Li Long.

But Tian Hongyu gave birth to a good daughter, so now Tian Hongyu has become Tian Guozhang, and Tian Wan has become a relative of the emperor, and this Tian Wan is the guy who later dedicated Chen Yuanyuan to Emperor Chongzhen.

Speaking of Chen Yuanyuan, I have to say an additional thing here, Chen Yuanyuan's original name was Xing Yuan,

The previous Lord Tian Chengtian and Tian Wan were both sons of Qianzong, they knew each other, and the friendship between the two sides was not bad, Tian Cheng's heart has always liked Tian Xiuying, who later became a concubine, when Tian Xiuying married Emperor Chongzhen, that Tian Cheng's temperament changed greatly, and he became a guy who loves money like life.

In fact, it's no wonder, who is to blame, who made Li Long look like the son of the Tian family after crossing over.

This time, Tian Wan came to see his former friend, but how did Li Long know what kind of character Tian Wan was, and when he saw a large group of people breaking into the door, he said that he was here to make trouble for himself.

"Oh, I said Chengcheng, I haven't seen you for three years, how did your family become this virtue, I thought I went to the wrong house." Tian Wan gave Li Long a hug very affectionately, and the affectionate Cheng Cheng became two words, which made Li Long goosebumps.

"Hey, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"Like, who are you?" Zeng Yingying also followed

Li Long looked at the guy who came in, and saw that he was wearing embroidery full of flowers, with a jade pendant hanging on the left and right sides of his waist, his hair was tied with gold wire, and a circle of pearls was decorated on the top, and there was some incense powder on his face, the fragrance was a little pungent, and the image of the whole person knew that he was an upstart at a glance.

"This, this friend, who are you, do we know each other very well?" Li Long naturally didn't know who this nouveau riche Tian Wan was, and guessed in his heart that this person might be a friend of the previous Tian Da, so he asked tentatively.

"Ah, I said Chengcheng, you don't know me anymore, I'm Wan Wan, Tian Wan, you won't remember." Tian Wan opened his mouth wide, with an unbelievable look, thinking that he had come here to have a good time in front of his old friends, but he dared to love other people's families and didn't remember him, didn't he flatter and throw it to the blind.

"Tian Wan...... You are Tian Wan, look at your current dress, it is gold and jade, and it is coated with incense powder, how do you tell me to recognize you, tell me, where did you make your fortune now. Li Long thought about it a little in his heart, and he also knew the intention of this person, this person came to show himself in front of him.

As Nada-samachi. Generally speaking, you don't know very rich friends. This man is dressed like this now. and thousands of taels of silver. There is no million-dollar net worth. But I can't afford to spend that kind of money. It's almost certain to say. This family named Tian Wandi has made a fortune in the past few years. So he came to show off in front of his former friend.

"This. You say the ground too. Cheng Cheng. What happened in your family in the past three years. How did it become like this? Tian Wan thought about it for a while, and felt that he had changed a lot now. It's also possible that friends in the past won't recognize it. So he nodded in approval of Li Longdi's words. turned to ask about the situation in Li Long's home.

Alone. Both the good guys and the bad guys. He usually has a few like-minded friends in his life. That Tian and Tian Wan are friends who get along with this kind of smell. Still somewhat concerned.

"Hey. Stop it. Two years ago, the family suffered from the plague. The whole family is dead. I've been mixed up for the past two years, but I've not been satisfied. It's not like you. Look at how you're dressed now. I also know that you are doing very well. Li Long's mind turned. casually complimented Tian Wan. Settle the relationship first. We'll see what benefits are available when the time comes.

Li Long is not the kind of person who likes to be inflammatory. But it's not the kind of old stubbornness that doesn't know how to change. He is now a wretched man. This is not a good head. Speak with a conscience to the earth. You have to do something for these people.

Where does this benefit come from? Nature does not fall from the sky. You'll have to find a way to get it. So nouveau riche like Tian Wan. There is still a certain amount of value to be wooed. Let's do something new. It's also easier to get some money from such people.

That Tian Wan naturally didn't know that Li Long had positioned him as the wronged leader, and he was very happy when he was complimented by Li Long.

"Hey, Chengcheng, don't you see the outside, you used to call me Wanwan, we are good brothers, how can we see the outside like this." Tian Wan saw that Li Long was envious of him, and he was in a good mood, so he patted Li Long on the shoulder affectionately.

Roasted, Wan Wan, screaming so disgusting, we are not comrades, Li Long couldn't help but burst into a foul sentence in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face: "By the way, I said Brother Wan, what are you doing now?" ”

Li Long really couldn't say the name of Wan Wan, so he had to change his name to Na Tian Wan as Brother Wan.

"You also know, what else can I do, but my sister has now become the emperor's concubine, what about me, stained with my sister's light, became a relative of the emperor, and there is nothing to do at ordinary times, I was bored and panicked, so I remembered Chengcheng you, and I don't know how you have been in the past few years, so I came to see you." Tian Wan said with a grin, with an expression that I am a buddy.

Tian Guifei?! If Tian Xiuying is who he is, Li Long definitely doesn't know, but when it comes to Tian Guifei, Li Long understands, she is the most favored concubine of Emperor Chongzhen in history, and her reputation is no worse than Qin Huai Bayan.

Li Long didn't expect that the person in front of him was the elder brother of Natian Guifei, looking at this person's unsightly appearance, it is difficult to imagine what kind of beauty Natian Guifei is, after Li Long came to this era, when he was fine, he would also think about what kind of situation it was like when Qin Huai Bayan got it in his hands

"Hehe, it turns out that Brother Wan has become an uncle of the country, it is worth celebrating, you can't leave in a hurry today, we have to have a good drink." Knowing the identity of the other party, Li Long also had an idea in his heart, and he enthusiastically pulled Tian Wan at the moment, he was a person who came through the country, and his eyes were naturally not afraid of the royal relatives of this era, so his movements were easy-going and natural, without a little humility, which made the eyes of a person behind Tian Wan flash a little.

Although the change in the man's eyes was very hidden, Li Long felt it, and couldn't help but glance at the man, only to see that the man was imposing, standing as tall as a mountain, his eyes were full of energy, obviously not an ordinary person, the man nodded and smiled at Li Long, but there was more surprise in his eyes.

The man didn't expect that the slight fluctuation of his emotions would be captured by the other party, and his heart was both surprised and awe-inspiring.

Li Long also smiled at that person, he felt that this person was not only a long-time figure, but also a martial arts master, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is different when he is a relative of the emperor, and the bodyguards around him are also high-end.

Seeing that Li Long noticed the person behind him, Tian Wan introduced: "Hehe, Chengcheng, I forgot to introduce you, this is Lord Lu Sen Lu of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu of Beizhen Fusi, Lord Lu, this is my friend Cheng Cheng." ”

"Humble Tian Cheng has seen Lord Lu." Li Long bowed his hand to Lu Sen and said, this Jinyi Wei Qianhu has much more power than him, a newly sealed general, and he is a real four-rank official, and those four-rank civil officials who are looking at the top do not dare to put up a stand in front of Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

"Hehe, Lord Tian is very polite, I see that Lord Tian seems to be not weak in martial arts, I wonder if I am interested in communicating with Lu?" That Lu Sen also hugged his fist and arched his hand to Li Long, this action is the etiquette in the rivers and lakes, Lu Sen saw Li Long use this etiquette to greet him, and thought that Li Long was planning to intersect with him as a friend of the rivers and lakes, so he also used this etiquette, but he didn't know that Li Long didn't know the etiquette of officialdom at all.

"Not today, if Lord Lu is interested, tomorrow, I want to get together with you today, Lord Lu, what do you think?" Li Long didn't agree on the spot, because he couldn't snub the fat sheep Tian Wan who he was optimistic about, and he was going to set up more situations on the wine table.

After Tian Wan and Lord Lu visited, they didn't know if it was true, after Tian Wan went back. Li Longhao Zeng Yingying laughed

"I didn't expect that I, Li Long, actually became Tian Chengcheng, my day, it's really inexplicable"
