"Good, good, good!"

After reading the Tang newspaper, Emperor Chongzhen was not as angry as the ministers expected, but slapped the Tang newspaper on the imperial case and shouted three times in a row, the joy was overflowing, and the ministers under the rank looked sideways, in their impression, they had never seen Long Live Lord happy like this.

"Your Majesty." Bingbi eunuch Wang Chengen asked appropriately, "Is there good news from Songshan coming back?" ”

"Isn't it just good news? It's more than good news! Emperor Chongzhen unfolded the Tang newspaper violently and said loudly, "You all take a look, let's all take a look, Datong General Wang Pu led more than a thousand iron cavalry lone troops deep into Liaodong, destroyed the old nest of Jiannu Shengjing in one fell swoop, and captured the slave chief Taiji alive, the siege of Songshan and Jinzhou has been solved without a fight, without a fight!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen's words were like a boulder thrown into a calm pond, and the ministers were in an uproar.

"Datong General Wang Pu led the army to destroy Shengjing, the old nest of Jiannu?"

"Dare to go deep into Liaodong alone, General Wang is so courageous!"

"Who said no, he also captured the slave chief Taiji alive! I, Da Ming, have never achieved such a brilliant victory since the Liao incident, it's really amazing! ”

After the excitement, Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said: "I really want to personally lead the army of the sailor to Lianyun Island to meet the general army of Wang, but it is a pity that the national fortune is not good, and there are three traitors of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, so that my Daming sailor has suffered heavy losses and can no longer cross the sea to attack Liaodong." However, it is clear that these three traitors have not escaped the punishment of God in the end, and they have been beheaded by Jiannu! ”

"Long live the blessings of the sky, Wang Zongbing will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune."

"The number of slaves is about to be exhausted, and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous for a long time, which is really gratifying."

"Long live, the minister suggested that the good news be announced to the world immediately and the whole country should celebrate together."

It is not easy for Emperor Chongzhen to be happy once, the ministers of the court and the central government seized the opportunity this time and slapped them to death, and even Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, who has always regarded himself as a righteous man and a gentleman, couldn't help but pat Emperor Chongzhen's ass.

"Hahaha, okay." Emperor Chongzhen Long Yan said with great joy, "According to what Qing and others said, I will tell the world about this good news." ”

Looking back, Emperor Chongzhen said to the eunuch Wang Chengen of Bingbi: "Chengen, I ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a banquet, today at noon I will feast the ministers in the Imperial Palace, and all the officials above the seventh grade in Beijing must attend, hahaha, I am so happy today, I must rest with all the ministers who are drunk, and I will rest when I am drunk!" ”

"The slave obeys."

Wang Chengen received the holy decree and went to the imperial dining room in a hurry.

While the ministers were vying to circulate the Tang Newspaper, Emperor Chongzhen asked Chen Xinjia: "Chen Aiqing, if I am not mistaken, this Wang Pu should have been promoted three years ago, or was recommended by you, Aiqing, right?" ”

"Long live is really good to remember the surname, this Wang Pu is indeed recommended by Weichen."

"Okay, if my Ming Dynasty can have a few more virtuous ministers like Aiqing, and recommend more generals like Wang Pu for me, why worry about the immortality of the slaves and the incorruptibility of the thieves?"

"This is all long live and wise, and the ministers really dare not take credit."

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's words, Chen Xinjia was so happy that he almost fainted, if he really wanted to talk about it, it was also a helpless move to recommend Wang Pu back then, because that time Jiannu entered the customs, every battle and defeat in each town, there was no one who reported victory, only Datong guerrilla Wang Pu crawled out of the pile of dead people, and brought back a few Jiannu pigtails.

Chen Xinjia in line with the principle of trying to report victory and not defeat, seized Wang Pu to make a big fuss, and instructed several imperial historians to really advocate in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Pu fell into a reputation for being brave and good at fighting, and Emperor Chongzhen was happy and directly promoted him to the general army of Datong.

Chen Xinjia really didn't expect that Wang Pu, who was recommended in desperation, was really a general, and today he won such praise from Emperor Chongzhen in front of his ministers, but he really earned enough face.

Emperor Chongzhen asked again: "I remember that Wang Zongbing seems to be very young, right?" ”

Chen Xinjia said: "Long live back, Mr. Wang's Spring and Autumn Period is four out of twenty. ”

"Twenty-four?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but praise, "This is really a hero." ”

Chen Xinjia said casually: "Long live, Mr. Wang has not married yet." ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart was immediately moved, and he asked, "Mr. Wang is already twenty-four years old, why hasn't the soldiers married so far?" ”

Chen Xinjia said: "As far as the minister knows, Mr. Wang originally set a family, but before he passed the door, he was poisoned by thieves. ”

"I see."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, and Chen Xinjia, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, couldn't help but feel his heart beat when he saw it, and wondered if he wanted to live it......

■■■

When Emperor Chongzhen feasted his ministers in the Imperial Palace, the family troops led by Wang Pu were enjoying themselves in Korea.

Since Jiannu gave up the pursuit, Wang Pu and his subordinates did not have to run for their lives anymore, and from Ping'an Road to Huanghae Road and then to Gyeonggi Province, the journey of less than 400 li took a full five days, and the average march was 80 li per day, which was really unreasonable for a light cavalry without baggage.

Due to Wang Pu's connivance, the behavior of his subordinates became more and more unscrupulous, from the beginning of forced eating, robbing, and forced sleep gradually evolved into burning, killing, and robbing.

For the behavior of his subordinates, Wang Pu turned a blind eye at the beginning, and later he just wanted to control it, in fact, Wang Pu also didn't want to care, he has never lacked good feelings for Goryeo sticks, in Wang Pu's view, Goryeo sticks are either ungrateful, or like Italian silver, like to rob the cultural heritage of the Chinese.

This time, if you seize the opportunity, of course, you have to clean up the Goryeo stick fiercely, and the good show is still to come.

When Wang Pu was squinting and napping on horseback, Scarface urged the horse back, and said excitedly: "General, Hanyang is not far ahead?" ”

"You're in Hanyang ahead?"

Wang Pu immediately cheered up when he heard this, Hanyang is actually Seoul, the capital of the Korean Kingdom, Wang Pu and his more than 800 family members want to return to Daming by sea, they must borrow the warships of the Korean navy, and if they want to borrow the warships of the Korean navy, they must obtain the permission of the king of Korea.

A family member beside Wang Pu suddenly asked, "I wonder if the king of Joseon will open the city gate and let us enter the city?" ”

Scarface rolled up his sleeves and said viciously: "His grandmother, if the king of Joseon dares not to open the city gate, then we will enter the city." ”

Wang Pu asked Zhen Youcai: "Youcai, what do you think?" ”

Zhen Youcai said: "The villain thinks it is easy to borrow a warship, but it is difficult to enter Hanyang." ”

Wang Pu nodded and said, "Well, it would be best if you could borrow a boat without using force, but it's not easy to come to Hanyang, so you have to get some benefits." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "The general means ......"

Wang Pu thought for a while and said: "Youcai, you took Scarface and twenty brothers to Hanyang to meet the king of Joseon, and when you met the king of Joseon, you said that the army of the Eight Banners needed a lot of silver to fight against the Ming army, and we were ordered by Huang Taiji to ask for silver from Korea, how much...... It's five million taels of silver. ”

Zhen Youcai was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "General, is five million taels too much?" You must know that the Korean royal family has been looted twice by Jiannu. ”

"If Jiannu hadn't come to loot, General Ben would have to ask for 20 million taels!" Wang Pu sneered, "In this way, if the king of Joseon really can't come up with so much cash, then he will compensate with a discount of gold, Korean ginseng and other jewelry, and if they dare not give it, then wait for the army of the Eight Banners to raze the whole of Korea to the ground." ”

"Okay, the villain understands."

Zhen Youcai understood and went straight to Hanyang surrounded by Scarface and twenty family members.

■■■

Hanyang, the royal palace of Joseon.

The king of Joseon, Yi Liang, was convening ministers to discuss the matter, and as early as the third day when the "Qing army" entered the Korean border, Li Liang had already received the news.

Although the "Qing army" entered the country with less than 1,000 people, and burned and looted unscrupulously along the way, the Korean side never dared to act rashly, the reason is very simple, Korea has been frightened by the Qing army, and when the Qing army invaded Korea for the second time, the Manchu Qing Dorobelle Duoduo defeated the 50,000 Qinwang army of North Korea with only 2,000 iron cavalry.

The strong combat effectiveness of the Qing army made the Koreans still have lingering fears, and when they heard that the Qing army was coming, no general in the DPRK dared to gather troops to meet them.

On the main hall, the leader of the council (equivalent to the first assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty) said worriedly: "King, I just got the news that the Qing army ransacked Longnanli last night. ”

"These damn Jiannu!" Li Qi scolded hatefully, "This king should really send troops to destroy them." ”

"The king can't." Lingzheng shook his hand again and again, "If you gather the armies of all provinces, it may be possible to destroy this Qing army, but doing so will definitely provoke the retaliation of the Great Qing State, and when the Eight Banners Army of the Great Qing State arrives, then our Korean country will be destroyed and destroyed." ”

"Ugh." Li Qi sighed, "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Zuo Yizheng said: "King, if the Qing army just grabs something and kills some people, it is not a big deal, I'm afraid that they will come here for another purpose." ”

Li Qi asked, "What purpose can it be?" ”

Zuo Yizheng said: "I heard that the Qing army is fighting fiercely with the Ming army in Songshan, since it is a decisive battle, it must need a lot of grain, grass, baggage and military salaries. ”

"The King." Zuo Yizheng's voice fell, and some guards hurriedly entered the main hall, knelt on the ground and said, "The envoys of the Great Qing Kingdom are asking to see outside the city. ”

Li Liang was angry from his heart, and said sharply: "I don't see." ”

"The King." The leader of the council hurriedly dissuaded, "The king must not be rash." ”

"Yes, since the Great Qing Kingdom has sent an envoy, it should still be received."

"We must not bring disaster to the Korean country because we do not receive the envoys."

The ministers in the main hall echoed one after another.

Li Liang was helpless, so he had to say: "Okay, then open the city gate and enlarge the envoys of the Qing Kingdom to enter the city." ”
