Chapter 146: Shanhaiguan

These are all later words, now you only need to take Chen Yuanyuan with you, no matter whether you can eat it or not, anyway, as long as others can't eat it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info? Book・CC

The top priority now is to get to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible.

Shanhaiguan is 600 miles east of the Jingshi of the Ming Empire, it is a city established in the narrow place of the mountain and the sea, and it is also the main road for Liaodong to enter the Guannai, with this as the boundary, the northeast region in the east has become outside the Guan, of course, there are also people who have become Guandong. The place to the west is called Kannai.

Zhu Changyuan came out of Beijing, and it is needless to say that he is majestic and majestic in the Yellow House Zuo Xu, which is given by the emperor, but he also has shortcomings: he can't go fast.

I only traveled fifty or sixty miles a day, and I took Chen Yuanyuan on the way for 12 days before I finally arrived at my destination: Shanhaiguan.

For Zhu Changyuan, the name of Shanhaiguan has long been like thunder, but it is a pity that it is the first time to really see its true face. The impression of this pass on him is: firm.

Unbreakable firmness.

Just look at its location.

The Shanhaiguan of the Ming Dynasty is twenty miles east of today's Qinhuangdao City, and of course, it is also the place where the mountains and the sea meet.

The north shore of the Bohai Sea, from Jinzhou to Tianjin Wei, stretches for thousands of miles on the coastline, most of them are smooth beaches, the beach is a plain by the sea, as far as the eye can see, only in Qinhuangdao this place, Yanshan protrudes a corner, like a naughty little flower cat flicked its tail, the mountain has been stretched to the seaside.

Of course, it can't be the kind that is extremely close to the sea, but the shortest distance between the mountain peak and the sea is only more than ten miles, and it is where the Shanhaiguan is located.

The Northeast Jianyu wants to enter the Central Plains, sorry, this is the only way, from Shenyang to Beijing, through Shanhaiguan here, all the way is only a thousand miles away, but if you don't go from here, then you have to go north to the territory of the Mongols. Tossing and turning all the way, you have to cross the tall Yan Mountain to enter the Beijing division from the north. One look? Book 1 k, a, n, s, h, u, cc

Although it can also attack the Jingshi, such as the last time Huang Taiji led an army of 200,000. Unable to cross the Shanhai Pass one step, the army could only withdraw and go around Mongolia from the back.

However, the distance traveled around Mongolia is twice as long as that traveled along the coast, two thousand miles. Moreover, it is necessary to climb over Yanshan. There is no guarantee of follow-up grain and grass.

This is why although the Ming Dynasty was in a precarious situation, it struggled to support three generations from Nurhachi to Huang Taiji to the little emperor of Shunzhi, but they did not let the Jianyu Tartars succeed and enter the Guannai.

Later, if it wasn't for Wu Sangui's surrender on this dog's day, how could the Great Qing Kingdom enter the Central Plains?

But that's all for later.

From Yanshan to Bohai, this is the narrowest place of the flat land, the entire Shanhaiguan city is built in the middle of the mountain and the sea, a radius of about three miles, Guanzhong with the surrounding areas, can garrison more than 30,000 soldiers.

One can't help but ask. Since there are more than ten miles of flat land between Yanshan and the sea, and the entire Shanhaiguan city is only three miles, didn't Huang Taiji go directly to the rest of the places, and attack Shanhaiguan to do gods?

That's because, in the rest of the more than ten miles without a city, there is an artificially built barrier, several zhang high, extremely thick, that is, Zhu Changyuan's siege artifact is not very easy to use after encountering this thing, and now we all call this defense: Ming Great Wall!

And. What's even more terrifying is that the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty is not one, it is said that there are as many as three, think about it. In that era of cold weapons, how could Huang Taiji be able to pass through the city of Shanhaiguan?

"Phew!"

The car stopped at the west gate of Shanhaiguan, which is "the first Xiongguan in the world".

In Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui saw the Son of Heaven driving Luan, although he knew that it was not the Son of Heaven sitting inside but Zhu Changyuan, who had a deep dislike for himself, he had to lead everyone out to greet him. The courtesy of the consul.

Wu Sangui was born in the 40th year of Wanli, his ancestral home is Gaoyou, he is the son of Wu Xiang, the chief military officer of Jinzhou, Chongzhen opened the martial arts department in the early years, Wu Sangui was admitted to the Wuju people with his true ability, and now he is only 27 years old, and he is already the chief military officer of the town guarding the side, and he was knighted Ping Xibo. Want?? Reading? ・1?k?

Compared with anyone, it can be said that it is rare, and the young man is ambitious.

However, compared with the twenty-one-year-old Uncle Daming Emperor in the car in front of him, his light could not be dimmed anymore.

Wu Sangui sighed: People are more popular than people, two years ago, he was already the chief military officer of the town guarding the side, and the other party was just a general of Enfeng, a small officer who couldn't even see his own face under his own hands, but now after two years, he has become his subordinate.

Regardless of the official position, even if he has the title of Earl of Pingxi now, he has already been made a marquis.

How impermanent are life encounters?

Sighing and sighing, what should be done is still to be done, Wu Sangui walked to Zhu Changyuan's car and bowed: "Xiaguan, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, welcome the arrival of the imperial uncle, I am very happy, and please give the imperial uncle a meeting!" ”

It sounds a little familiar, and it seems to be Wu Sangui's voice.

Zhu Changyuan had a smile on his face, and said secretly: When he first entered the barracks, this Wu Sangui had rectified himself, but later Lao Tzu also went to him and asked for a lot of silver, but he had also seen it.

While smiling, he opened the corner of the curtain of the cart, looked at Wu Sangui, who bowed his head outside, and couldn't help laughing out loud, and said, "Ping Xibo, we meet again." ”

"I've seen my lord!" Wu Sangui didn't dare to slack off, he had deeply sinned against this guy before, and now if he finds any tricks, he won't fix himself to death.

"Huh!" Zhu Changyuan laughed dryly and said: "The last time I saw the general, the general was still the general of Ningyuan, guarding the Daming mountain and river fortress, but I didn't expect that in a snap of my fingers, the general had been promoted to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, how fast!" ”

It looks like emotion, but Zhu Changyuan is different from Wu Sangui, and the meaning of his words is full of irony. Aren't you Wu Sangui a cow, didn't you bully me as a little commander just because you were the chief military officer? So now, where is Ningyuan City? Where is Liaodong?

It's all lost by you dogs!

"Let's go, let's go into town!"

Zhu Changyuan shouted, stretched out his hand to pull the curtain back on, and the soft light in the car returned to it.

With Zhu Changyuan's order, the slave who drove the cart waved his whip, and the eight horses walked slowly, side by side into the west gate of the not very spacious Shanhaiguan City.

Behind, Wu Sangui, who was in a cold sweat, was still standing on his side, dazed in his heart.

He heard the gossip, it is said that the emperor gave Zhu Changyuan the power to kill and take away, and he could decide the life and death of people at will without reporting, including him, the chief soldier of Ping Xibo and Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, seeing Zhu Changyuan give him a look, how could Wu Sangui not be surprised.

"Uncle clan, is this the person who killed my brother?" Watching Zhu Changyuan's car creak into the city, a young officer beside Wu Sangui suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth as he watched the car driver.

"Ying Hu!" Wu Sangui raised his head, motioned for him to shut up, and then said in a low voice: "It's him who is good, but if you want revenge, forget it." ”

At that time, Wu Yinglong guarded the Dongjiang River, and led Huang Taiji to lead the sailors to conquer, and had to escape, but this cargo fled as a last resort, and he actually wanted to bring trouble to the east and burn Huang Taiji's fire to Zhu Changyuan, if it wasn't for Zhu Changyuan's timely response, Sun Moon Island would be dangerous.

Therefore, later Zhu Changyuan tied Wu Yinglong to the northernmost side of the island to watch the sea, until he died of starvation, which can be described as extremely tragic.

This matter, everyone knows about this matter on the entire Sun Moon Island, and it is not much of a secret, coupled with the intentional inquiry of Wu Sangui and Wu Yinghu, it is not surprising that one or two spies were sent to the island through the merchants, and they knew the truth.

However, Wu Sangui knew very well that with Zhu Changyuan's current forces and means, especially the strength of Sun Moon Island, it was difficult to get Zhu Changyuan to death to avenge Wu Yinglong.

"I know!" Wu Yinghu's eyes were cracked, and he hated in a low voice, and said: "This guy first killed my brother, and today he insulted your uncle, this hatred is not shared, if there is a chance, although death will be avenged!" ”

The Wu family started from the old man Wu Xiang, and since it has gained a foothold in Liaodong, it has been operating for decades, and has become a famous local family, with dozens of disciples in the clan, all of whom are heroic and good at fighting, and have also won the praise of the imperial court.

Therefore, the disciples of the Wu family, except for Wu Yinghu, there are not a few people who secretly hate Zhu Changyuan in their hearts.

"Let's go, there will be a chance to talk about opportunities in the future, but today, everyone hides their hatred in their hearts for me, but if there is a show, I will kill one and follow me into the city."

Wu Sangui waved his hand, and more than a dozen young officers suddenly followed behind him.

It stands to reason that the Jiliao Governor's Mansion was originally in Ningyuan City, but unfortunately Ningyuan was occupied by Huang Taiji, and now all the land outside the gate belongs to the Qing Dynasty, so Zhu Changyuan naturally can't go there directly.

Wu Sangui was still familiar with current affairs, so he established a small governor's mansion in Shanhaiguan City for Zhu Changyuan and his family to live.

said that it was a family member, and Chen Yuanyuan was alone.

When he arrived at the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, Zhu Changyuan ordered his subordinates to clean the entire mansion inside and out, decided to live here first, and arranged for his subordinates to say: "In the future, all the food in Shanhaiguan City, no matter who sends it, is not allowed to eat, and the food matter can be solved by itself!" ”

Zhu Changyuan is not afraid, but he is afraid that if Wu Sangui secretly poisons the food and poisons Chen Yuanyuan, a delicate beauty, it is not good.

After fiddling for a long time, the subordinates cleaned up the entire governor's mansion inside and out, and at night, Zhu Changyuan took out some food from the system and handed it to the subordinates, and was about to let them cook, when a soldier outside came to report that Wu Sangui was going to pick up the wind and wash the dust for him, and he invited him to have a big meal.
