Jiaxian, Li Yan Daying.

Let's talk about the composition of the thief army first, this army actually does not have a very strict organizational structure, basically a small rebel army to form a large one, and several large ones are combined together, it has become the current thief army, although Li Zicheng is the largest leader, but his real lineage is only the army led by his son Li Guo and nephew Li Shuangxi, and there are more armies in the hands of Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Luo Rucai and Li Yan and others.

Liu Zongmin, Li Yan and others have a lot of military power, and the men and horses under them are all "their own people", not Li Zicheng's people, Li Zicheng only commands them by virtue of his prestige, rather than restraining them through a strict organizational structure, so sometimes, Liu Zongmin and they dare not buy Li Zicheng's account.

Li Yan also had an army of his own, with a small number of only 2,000 people.

Originally, Li Yan had another army under him, which was still the old tribe brought out by the Red Lady from the cottage, most of them were green forest heroes, strong in martial arts, good at fighting, and could be said to be the elite of the elite, but it was a pity that Zhen Youcai's annihilation plan was won in Jining, so that Huang Degong's sailor cannon was blown away.

Now these two thousand troops are Li Yan's children recruited from his hometown of Qixian County, Henan, because they are children's soldiers, so they are loyal to Li Yan, and this will be the red lady training them on the school field.

The red lady is wearing a red power suit, a silver wide belt is tightly tied around the waist, lined with her willow thin waist and plump breasts and fat buttocks, which makes people see the heart beat faster, and under the sharply enlarged hip crotch curve, is a pair of slender and round thighs, wrapped in tight red breeches, and black deerskin boots on her feet, and her slender and toned figure is vividly outlined.

Under the backdrop of a red shirt, the red lady's hibiscus snow face looks more and more charming and moving, a pair of willow eyebrows are gently frowned together, and the bright big eyes reveal a cold and murderous aura, if the two thousand recruits dare to peek at her, the horsewhip in the red lady's hand will immediately be ruthlessly whipped into his face, and after suffering a lot of losses, no one dares to peek at the red lady, and they all put their minds on training.

The red lady taught a set of her original stick method, although there are few tricks, only smashing, splitting, picking, sweeping, stabbing five styles, but it can be made up is a tiger and a tiger, very suitable for the battlefield to kill, and the lack of weapons in the thief army, soldiers, guns, swords, axes, bows and arrows and other iron weapons are very few, more soldiers use wooden sticks, so teach the recruits the most practical stick method.

When the recruits were practicing the stick technique, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the direction of the gate, and when the red lady looked back urgently, she saw that Li Yan had entered the camp surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry soldiers, and when she saw Li Yan, the expression on the face of the red lady immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees, from cold as frost to a spring breeze, and quickly twisted her thin waist to meet her.

"Xianggong, you're back." The red lady greeted Li Yanma and asked with a smile on her back, "This time, King Chuang has mobilized almost all the troops, is it going to be a big battle?" ”

Li Yan turned over and dismounted, threw the reins of the horse to the soldiers behind him, and said to the red lady: "We said it in the tent." ”

The red lady hummed coquettishly, followed Li Yan into the tent, entered the tent, Li Yan turned around and held the red lady's little hand, and said, "Lady, we are about to leave Henan." ”

"Leaving Henan?" The red lady was surprised, "Could it be that King Chuang decided to give up Henan?" ”

"No, King Chuang will not give up Henan." Li Yan said, "This time, the Ming official army was commanded by Hong Chengchou in Kaifeng, Fu Zonglong and Ma Shiying coordinated to suppress, and the army of more than 200,000 people on the three roads was menacing, and our army's chances of victory were not high. ”

"Xianggong, you want to stand alone?" The red lady was shocked and said, "Li Zicheng is relieved to let you go alone?" ”

Li Yan said: "I'm not alone, there are Ma Shouying, He Yilong, He Jin, Liu Xiyao, and Lin Yangsheng to lead the fifth battalion of the left to go to Shanxi with us. ”

"That's it." The red lady flattened her mouth and said, "How could Li Zicheng let you go to Shanshan alone?" sent Ma Shou to respond to their fifth battalion of Gezuo and go with you, making it clear that you want them to spy on you. ”

"No nonsense." Li Yan Zhengse said, "King Chuang is surnamed Haoshuang, he acts uprightly, he is a rare husband in the world, the grace of the ancients should be repaid by the spring, not to mention that King Chuang has a life-saving grace for you and my wife, we should repay each other by killing, how can we spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" ”

"The slave family is just talking." The red lady pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "What are you murderous?" ”

"Lady, Hong Chengchou, this old puppet is not easy to deal with, and the situation in our army is very bad now." Li Yan stretched out his hand and gently stroked the delicate face of the red lady, and said, "King Chuang trusts you and me so much, we must raise the banner of the righteous army in Shanxi this time, and strive to contain more Ming officials and soldiers, so as to reduce the pressure on King Chuang in Henan." ”

"Hmm." The red lady hummed softly and said softly: "The slave family listens to you." ”

■■■

Datong, the royal compound.

Lu Liu was fighting with Nenniang, and Wang Pu and Chen Yuanyuan stood on the side and watched.

This matter has to start with Chen Yuanyuan, after Wang Pu refused to accept the tender lady to fill the house that day, Chen Yuanyuan did not stop there, but thought of a compromise solution, and proposed to let the young lady disguise herself as a man to be Wang Pu's personal soldier, because the young lady is a woman, unlike Xiao Qi and Lu Liu, who are all big men, and can take good care of Wang Pu's life when they are outside.

What's more, the young lady can also be martial, which Chen Yuanyuan discovered by accident.

After Wang Pu led the troops to Mongolia, one day Chen Yuanyuan missed him, so he took out the short-handled musket that Wang Pu gave her to play, and happened to be seen by the young lady, and the young lady had to go over to enjoy the play carefully for a long time, and she couldn't put it down.

[Some book friends explain that the bird guns of the dynasty are shoddy and the hit rate is not high, but in fact, the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty is quite exquisite. When the swordsman was a child, his family lived in the countryside, and there were many hunters in the village, all of whom used the earthen fire guns made by the blacksmiths in the town, and loaded ammunition from the muzzle, the barrel was the most primitive iron pipe, without rifling, and the bullets were also sawed off from the iron rods, and the gap between the gun chamber was very large, and the airtight surname of the gunpowder explosion was very poor, but it was such an earthen fire gun, which could often hit wild boars running at high speed dozens of meters away, and experienced old hunters could hit a one-foot square wooden board within a hundred meters, which was witnessed by the swordsman himself.

Soon, Chen Yuanyuan knew that the young lady could not only play with muskets, but also martial arts.

Nen Niang does know martial arts, her martial arts are taught by her father Ge Guang, although Ge Guang is only a hundred households, but there is a good martial arts, because Nen Niang is a girl, Ge Guang taught Nen Niang according to her aptitude, focusing on teaching Nen Niang two martial arts, one is a long whip, the other is light skills! The young lady's surname is very high, and she has already practiced a stunt at a young age, especially in light skills, and the ordinary strong man has no idea of touching her.

At the beginning of the Futuyu Pass, Ge Guang knocked her unconscious in order to protect the young lady, and dragged two soldiers who died in battle to press her, which allowed her to escape, otherwise, with the martial arts of the young lady, she would definitely have to fight to the death with her father, and in the end it was inevitable to die under the hands of the horse thieves.

Because the young lady is good at martial arts, Chen Yuanyuan wants her to be Wang Pu's personal guard.

Chen Yuanyuan said a lot, Wang Pu was a little moved, thinking that when he was out on the expedition, if there was a pretty girl like a young lady by his side, it would be a pleasing thing to the eye, but Wang Pu didn't believe that the little girl could martial arts, and he didn't believe that her white and tender little hands could play with firearms.

So Chen Yuanyuan specially arranged today's martial arts competition, the purpose of which was to let Nenniang show her martial arts and marksmanship in front of Wang Pu.

This kung fu, Nen Niang has already gone through more than 20 moves with Lu Liu.

At first, Lu Liu didn't dare to use all his strength, for fear of hurting this delicate little girl, but the more he beat Lu Liu, the more frightened he became, and in the end Lu Liu had already done his best to deal with the young girl, don't look at Lu Liuniu's tall and big horses, and his fists and feet made him tiger-like, but he couldn't even touch the clothes of the little girl, the two chased in the yard for most of the day, Lu Liu was already tired and out of breath, but the young lady still didn't blush and didn't beat her heart, as if she was nothing.

Taking advantage of Lu Liu's impetuousness, he only cared about chasing but neglected to take precautions, the young lady suddenly returned and wrapped a whip around Lu Liu's ankle, Lu Liu's body still put on a forward posture, but his feet were already entangled by the long whip of the young girl, and he suddenly lost his center of gravity and planted it on the ground fiercely, and fell into a dog eating.

Actually, today's competition is very unfair, because Nenniang is Mrs.'s personal ring, and Lu Liu is afraid of hurting her, so she doesn't dare to be ruthless, which invisibly restricts Lu Liu's moves and makes him suffer a big loss, but even so, it is enough to prove that Nenniang's martial arts are indeed good, after all, it is not easy to defeat Lu Liu.

Even if it is a bandit with a scarface, he can't overturn Lu Liu without two hundred moves.

Wang Pu was shocked, and said heartlessly: "Liu'er, you are too useless, you can't even win a little girl." ”

Xiao Qi, who was attracted by the sound of fighting, also sneered: "That's it, aren't you usually very good?" You dare to mess with Scarface, but why can't you even clean up a little girl now? Liu'er, you just bought a piece of tofu and died. ”

Wang Pu's words ridiculed, Lu Liu didn't dare to contradict it, but Xiao Qi also came to sneer, Lu Liu was unhappy, and said hungrily at that time: "Brother Seven, what kind of hero are you talking about on the side?" If you have the ability, you also came down to make a move with the young girl, but I'm afraid you won't even be able to go through ten moves. ”

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Qi said angrily, "Believe it or not, Brother Qi, I'll whip you?" ”

Lu Liu smiled and said, "So, does the seventh brother want to have a trick with the younger brother first?" ”

"You ......"

Xiao Qi was speechless for a moment, glaring at Lu Liu fiercely but didn't dare to really do it, Lu Liu's martial arts Xiao Qi knew, even Scarface scared him for three points, he was even less of an opponent, usually in front of Lu Liu, he only dared to drink Wu Yo Six with his old qualifications, Lu Liu really wanted to play a trick, he had no rut at all.

At this time, it was still the young lady who relieved Xiao Qi, and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Qi's musket is playing well, and my little sister wants to compete with Brother Qi in marksmanship." ”

Xiao Qiyi suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and looked at Wang Pu with an inquiring look, but his face already showed an expression of eagerness, this kid's musket is really not bad, hitting a humanoid target within a hundred steps, nine out of ten shots, and the bearded musket captain does not dare to boast that he can win him steadily.

"Okay." Wang Pu nodded and said, "Xiao Qi, you will compare your marksmanship with Nenniang." ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi responded, turned back to Nenniang and said, "Nenniang, how do you compare?" ”

Nen Niang stretched out her hand and pointed to a row of more than a dozen crockpots that had already been placed on the wall of the courtyard in front of her and said: "Shoot freely in the time of a pillar of incense, and whoever hits the more crockpots will win." ”

"Okay." Xiao Qi visually measured the distance, the row of crockpots on the courtyard wall was about thirty or forty steps away, although the target was a little smaller than the humanoid target, but the distance was much closer, so he replied with a big grin, "Then hit these crockpots, shoot freely, whoever hits the most crockpots will win." ”

Wang Pu said: "Liu'er, you go and get two guns." ”

The young lady said: "The sixth brother only needs to get a branch for the seventh brother, and the little maid uses this branch." ”

Nen Niang said this to Wang Pu, and then he took out a short-handled musket from behind him as if he was juggling, Wang Pu was stunned, this short-handled pistol was clearly given to him by the Western missionary named Johnson, Wang Pu gave it to Chen Yuanyuan for self-defense, but he didn't expect Chen Yuanyuan to give it to Nen Niang again.

Lu Liu quickly went to the ear room to get a musket that had been filled with ammunition, as well as a horn gunpowder and a small bag of lead bullets, and handed it to Xiao Qi, but the young lady only saw a short-handled pistol in her hand, neither a horn containing gunpowder, nor a pouch containing lead bullets, I saw her holding the musket and standing in the courtyard, so she raised the gun and set up a shooting posture.

Xiao Qi didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stood side by side with the young girl, raised the gun to his chest and set up a shooting posture.

Chen Yuanyuan personally lit a incense stick, Wang Pu gave an order, Nen Niang and Xiao Qi fired at the same time, only to hear a loud noise, the two crockpots on the front courtyard wall shattered, because it was free fire, the time to reload ammunition can also determine the outcome of the outcome, Xiao Qi did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly refilled the gunpowder as quickly as possible.

At this time, the most shocking thing happened, Xiao Qi had just filled a small half of the gunpowder into the barrel, and the young lady had already raised the short-handled pistol again, only to hear a loud bang, and the clay pot on the wall of the courtyard in front of it was shattered again, Xiao Qi was completely stunned by this sudden gunshot, and looked back at the young lady in a daze, having forgotten to fill the gunpowder.

No way, this is absolutely impossible!

Xiao Qi had only one thought in his mind, his speed of filling gunpowder was already very fast, but Nenniang was faster than him, and it was not just a little, it was much faster! According to the speed just now, when Xiao Qi reloaded the ammunition and finished the second shot, Nen Niang was afraid that she had already released at least five shots!

This speed is amazing!

Xiao Qi was surprised, Wang Pu and Lu Liu were even more surprised, Xiao Qi was busy filling gunpowder, so he didn't see how the little girl loaded ammunition, but Wang Pu and Lu Liu saw it clearly, compared to Xiao Qi's hurry, but Ning Niang looked very calm, I saw that she was not in a hurry to find a beautiful bag from behind her, and found out a piece of something from the front end of the musket barrel from the inside, and pressed the mass of things into the chamber with a stabbing strip, compacting.

Then he put a thin wire into the medicine door and pounded it twice, then tilted the musket and knocked it lightly twice, and then he buckled the plate machine and raised the musket again and aimed at the clay pot on the wall of the courtyard in front of him.

Xiao Qi was stupid by the young girl's fast filling speed, and Wang Pu was also stupid.

It wasn't until the young lady was about to fire the third shot that Wang Pu came back to his senses and shouted: "Stop! ”

The little hand that the young lady had just raised put down again, looked back at Wang Pu and smiled, Xiao Qi also turned around when she heard the sound, and looked at Wang Pu bitterly, with an expression of defeat on her face.

Wang Pu strode up to Nenniang and asked eagerly, "Nenniang, what did you put in the chamber of the gun just now?" ”

The young lady replied crisply: "Gunpowder and iron bullets." ”

Wang Pu reached out and took off the bag from the waist of the young lady, loosened the elastic band, and saw that there were more than a dozen such "things" neatly placed inside, these things looked a little like cigar smoke, but they were shorter than cigar smoke, Wang Pu smelled a faint smell of gunpowder, and the fragrance of oil.

Wang Pu took out one from it and asked the young lady, "That's it?" ”

Nen Niang's little face was blushing Pu Pu, I don't know if it was because of excitement, or Wang Pu's actions just now made her feel shy, seeing Wang Pu asking, Nen Niang hummed softly, and explained: "The little maid thinks that it is very troublesome to fill gunpowder from the medicine door, if you accidentally press the plate machine, it will go off, which is very dangerous, so I thought of a way." ”

Wang Pu faintly thought of something in his mind, but he couldn't grasp it for a while, so he asked mechanically, "What method?" ”

The young lady said: "The little maid cut a piece of kraft paper of the right size, first rolled it into a circle, pasted it with paste, the size of the paper roll is just about the same as the gun chamber, and then sealed one end of the paper roll, and then filled it with gunpowder and iron bullets, and then sealed the other end, and finally coated the outside of the paper roll with grease, it is easy to press into the gun chamber, and after the paper roll containing the ammunition is pressed to the end, then use a thin wire to reach in from the medicine door to poke the paper roll, so that a small amount of gunpowder overflows and is connected to the medicine door, and you can open fire." ”

Wang Pu finally remembered, isn't this thing that Nen Niang came up with the paper bullet shell invented by the Swedes in history? Due to the advent of paper bullet casings, the firing speed of flintlock muskets has been improved, and the power of firearms has really formed an overwhelming advantage over cold weapons.

"Young girl, you are so smart." Wang Pu was excited, and actually made a move that surprised everyone, and suddenly stretched out his hands to caress the little face of the young lady Hongpupu, and then leaned on her forehead and tsked it, and laughed again, "Young girl, you really helped me a lot this time." ”

The little face of the young lady suddenly became redder than the sunset on the horizon, and then she fled as if she was flying.

Xiao Qi and Lu Liu next to him also laughed ambiguously, both of them had that kind of expression on their faces, like a delicate and tender little girl like a young girl, dangling in front of the general all day long, so sooner or later will she be the general's person? Today, they were not surprised at all.

Chen Yuanyuan also looked at Wang Pu with a smile in his eyes, and Fang didn't know what he was thinking.

"Uh......" Wang Pu realized that his behavior was a little excessive, and quickly explained to Chen Yuanyuan, "Lady, things are not as you can see, just ...... accident"

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Wang Pu charmingly, just laughing and not saying a word.

When Wang Puzheng felt embarrassed, the pillar suddenly entered the courtyard and said: "Third master, Lord Wei is here again, and he also brought the famous miracle doctor Liu Yezi in Shanxi, and I want to give you a look at the third master." ”

"Oops, General Ben forgot that he is still sick." Wang Pu slapped his head and hurriedly instructed Lu Liu and Xiao Qidao, "Hurry up, you two go and prepare, take out all the things that Daddy Li has explained, and go quickly." Lady, don't stand there, hurry up and go back to the room with my father-in-law, hey, don't laugh, your father-in-law is sick, he is half-dead, you should be sad, yes, you should be sad. ”

The inner courtyard of the Wang family's compound was a while, and when Wei Daben, the prefect of Datong, entered the Wang Pu Nuan Pavilion with Liu Shen Yi, everything was ready, and I saw Wang Pu's face was yellow, yellow and green, and he was lying on the pit and fell asleep, the air in the warm pavilion was full of strong medicinal smell, Chen Yuanyuan and the young lady stood on the edge of the pit and wept silently, looking heartbroken.

Speaking of which, it has been more than half a month since the official document sent by the Celebrant Supervisor and the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies urging Wang Pu to return to Beijing to take up his post was sent to Datong, but Wang Pu was "sick" at this time, and he was very sick.

This time, Wei Daben brought the famous miracle doctor Liu Ye from Shanxi, obviously prepared.

However, when Wei Daben saw Wang Pu for the third time, he couldn't help but have a trace of inexplicable anxiety on his face, Wang Pu's condition seemed to be more serious than the previous two meetings, this is not to say that Wei Daben cared much about Wang Pu's life and death, mainly because this official document had not been delivered in person, and Wei Daben could not hand it over.

Although Wang Pu is a military general, from the system of civil officials and military generals, it is not under the control of Wei Daben, but Wang Pu's current identity is Ding Wei's Daming concubine at home, not the governor of Jingying, and Wei Daben is the prefect of Datong Mansion, so urging Wang Pu to set off still has to fall on his head Wei Daben.

"Master Pony?" Wei Daben walked to the pit and called softly, "Master Horse? Xiaguan Wei Daben saw that you were here. ”

"Huh? Oh hmm......" Wang Pu opened his sour eyes, squeezed out two lumps of yellow and turbid eye feces, and said in a slurred voice, "Is it Gonggong Zhang?" ”

Wei Daben's expression was miserable, and he was worried that Ma Ye couldn't even recognize who he was, and it seemed that he was really terminally ill, so he turned back to Chen Yuanyuan and said: "Madam, this official invited the best famous doctor in Shanxi to Liu Yezi, do you think you should let Doctor Liu give Ma Ye a pulse diagnosis now?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan wiped away his tears, saluted the willow leaves, and said sadly: "Then there is Lao Liu Divine Doctor." ”

"Don't dare."

The god doctor Liu Yezi, who was over fifty years old, hugged his fists and returned the salute, then walked to the pit and sat down, put down the medicine box he carried with him on the pit, Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly stepped forward and moved Wang Pu's right hand out of the quilt, Liu Yezi took Wang Pu's right hand, stretched out three fingers of food, middle and nameless and gently pressed on Wang Pu's wrist, and began to diagnose the pulse.

In less than a moment, the face of the divine doctor Liu Yezi changed.

Wei Daben asked nervously, "Doctor Liu, how is the condition of the master of the horse?" ”

Liu Yezi let go of his hand and said, "Lord Wei, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Wei Daben confessed to Chen Yuanyuan, and accompanied Doctor Liu out of the warm pavilion before asking in a low voice: "Doctor Liu, what is the condition of the master of the horse?" ”

Doctor Liu sighed and said, "Master Wei, the old man really can't diagnose what kind of disease the master has is. ”

"Huh?" Wei Daben was surprised, "Even you don't know what kind of disease the horse master has?" ”

Doctor Liu nodded and said: "The pulse of the horse master is sinking and floating, late and counting, virtual and real, intermittent, the old man has been practicing medicine for more than 40 years, and he has never encountered such a strange pulse, the face of the horse master is yellow and blue, the tongue is yellow and thick, the breath is foul and stinky, and the nails are also blue and purple, all of which seems to indicate that the fire of life of the horse master is about to end, but the old man listens to his words and watches his deeds, but he feels that his vitality is still vigorous, incredible, incredible!" ”

"This ......," Wei Daben was puzzled, "how does this make this official?" ”

Wei Daben is indeed very difficult, because Wang Pu is the current concubine, this matter involves the princess of Changping, and also involves the emperor's face problem, even if the concubine is really sick, some words cannot be said nonsense, if you don't do it, you will inadvertently offend some people, and your career and future may be confused.

Wei Daben thought about it again and again, and had to put on another notebook: "The master of the horse is infected with a little illness again, and he is not good at doing it." ”

■■■

Wang Pu Nuan Pavilion.

When Wei Daben and Liu Yezi left, Wang Pucai turned over from the pit and sat up, and shouted repeatedly: "Nen Niang, go and fetch water, hurry up and fetch water." ”

"General, the little maid has already prepared it for you." As she spoke, the young lady handed the mouthwash that had been prepared long ago to Wang Pu, Wang Pu took it and poured it into his mouth, gurgling and rinsing his mouth, and the young lady got close and smelled a smoky stench, and couldn't help wrinkling her cute nose, and asked in a coquettish voice, "General, what did Daddy Li spill into your mouth?" Why does it smell so bad? ”

"Who knows?" Wang Pu rinsed three times in a row before he felt a little better in his mouth, and he didn't have a good breath, "It really stinks." ”

Chen Yuanyuan personally carried a basin of water in front of Wang Pu, put the towel in the hot water and wrung it out, and said softly: "Xianggong, you can wipe your face too, this looks weird and scary." ”

"Hey." Wang Pu took the towel and wiped his face, and said in a loud voice, "I don't know if Daddy Li's tricks can hide from that Liu Shen Doctor, I hope I don't show my stuffing." ”

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Daddy Li is the descendant of the great Ming Divine Doctor Li Shizhen, and his medical skills are excellent, how can that Divine Doctor Liu see through Daddy Li's methods?" ”

"What?" Wang Pu was stunned and said, "Daddy Li is a descendant of Li Shizhen, why don't I know?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan smiled and said softly: "Daddy Li is not a person who loves fame, of course you don't bother to say it without asking him, and the slave family also accidentally saw one of his medical books with the word Li Shizhen written on it, only to know that Daddy Li turned out to be the descendant of the famous doctor Li Shizhen." ”

"No wonder." Wang Pu was speechless, "No wonder Daddy Li can even cure that girl's illness." ”

When Wang Pu led the troops into Shengjing, Hai Lanzhu was already terminally ill, and she looked like she would be alive in a few days, but Daddy Li was stunned and pulled her back from the ghost gate, at that time Daddy Li said that it was because of the horseback riding that dispersed the blood and qi in her chest, but now it seems that things are not so simple, it is clear that Daddy Li saved Hailanzhu with superb medical skills.

As soon as she thought of Hai Lanzhu, Wang Pu saw her beautiful face and slender and plump figure, to say that Hai Lanzhu is also a great beauty who has captivated the city and the country, and she is not much inferior to Chen Yuanyuan, but it is a pity that the two female assassins were rescued when she was in Jining, and I don't know what is going on now?

■■■

Because of Father Li, Wang Pu remembered Hai Lanzhu, because Hai Lanzhu Wang Pu remembered the two female assassins he met in Jining, and their slender and toned bodies seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, but Wang Pu didn't know that the red lady, one of the two female assassins, had already followed Li Yan to the rice fat.

Mizhi is a county in the north of Yan'an Prefecture, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are both Mizhi people, Zhang Xianzhong, nicknamed the Eight Kings, is the banner of rebellion in Mizhi County, although Li Zicheng is a Mizhi person, but he followed Gao Yingxiang to rebel in Jin County, and the famous "Wuding River", which flows next to Mizhi County.

Li Yan, the Red Lady and his wife led 2,000 Qi County soldiers and Ma Shouying, He Yilong, He Jin, Liu Xiyao, Lin Yangyang led 3,000 elite soldiers from Jiaxian, it only took less than half a month to hit Mizhi, almost no interception along the way, it can be said that the soldiers killed back to the thief's hometown without blood.

After so many years of war, the national strength and military strength of the Ming Dynasty have almost been exhausted, and the rule of the Zhu Ming Dynasty north of the Yangtze River has actually fallen into the brink of collapse.

Let's just say that the three towns of Yansui, Gansu, and Ningxia on the three sides of Shaanxi, the total strength of each guard post is less than 50,000 when all added together, and Fu Zonglong, who served as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi with the rank of squire of the military department, scraped together all the best and then gathered the three elite soldiers of He Renlong, fierce as a tiger, and Zuo Liangyu, and barely raised 80,000 troops.

When Fu Zonglong led the 80,000 troops that had been put together with great difficulty to go east out of Tongguan and prepare to cooperate with Hong Chengchou to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng in Henan, the three sides of Shaanxi in the rear would inevitably become empty.

Regarding the actions of Li Yan's department, Fu Zonglong actually knew about it.

There has long been a detailed report, there is a small group of thieves from the Mengxian area north across the Yellow River, is flowing in the northwest direction, but Fu Zonglong did not take this small group of thieves to heart, but only strictly ordered the prefectures, governments, and guards along the way to strengthen their defenses and strictly block them, but did not send a large army to encircle and intercept them, Fu Zonglong did not even report this matter to Hong Chengchou and Jingshi.

Fu Zonglong's carelessness eventually led to a big disaster!

In order to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng in Henan, Emperor Chongzhen mobilized a total of more than 200,000 troops from Hong Chengchou, Fu Zonglong, and Ma Shiying.

What to do?

There is no way, Emperor Chongzhen can only order Hong Chengchou, Fu Zonglong, and Ma Shiying to raise their own food and salary! Ma Shiying has his back on Jiangnan, backed by Jiangnan taxes, grain is not a problem, Hong Chengchou can also intercept grain through the canal, and the salary can also intercept part of the Jiangnan tax and silver, but Fu Zonglong can't!

What should Fu Zonglong do? There is no choice but to increase the taxes in Shaanxi Province and put the burden on the people!

Shaanxi Province under Fu Zonglong's rule was already very poor, and suffered from three consecutive years of severe drought, the common people in various prefectures and counties had already begun to gnaw tree bark, digging grass roots, this winter suffered a rare heavy snowfall, some black-hearted businessmen and rich households took the opportunity to hoard grain, driving up the price of grain, the people were hungry and cold, and it seemed that they would not be able to live, but under such circumstances, the government not only did not send grain for disaster relief, but instead increased taxes!

This time, the people of Shaanxi really have no way to live, this is the official forcing the people to oppose the people, and they have to rebel!

Li Yan's army happened to return to Shaanxi at this time, just like a spark thrown into a dry pyre, and the raging fire of rebellion burned all over the whole province of Shaanxi in an instant!

As soon as the news of the rebel army returning to Mizhi spread, Shaanxi's Yan'an Mansion, Qingyang Mansion, and Pingliang Mansion were all reversed, and the desperate poor people rose up one after another, they attacked the government, killed the heroes and gentry, first robbed it, and then helped the old and the young to come to Mizhi to join Li Yan's rebel army, in less than half a month, Li Yan's rebel army grew from 5,000 to tens of thousands, and it is still growing at the rate of several thousand people a day!

By the time Fu Zonglong found out that there was a fire in the backyard and realized that something was wrong, Li Yan's climate had already been completed, and Shanxi and Shaanxi had become sparks burning the prairies, and Fu Zonglong couldn't control it even if he wanted to!

■■■

Datong, the royal compound.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the beginning of April of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and Wang Pu has been pretending to be sick for almost a month.

During this time, Wang Pu did not go out of the gate, and the second door did not step, and he really accompanied Chen Yuanyuan at home for a while, and Chen Yuanyuan also enjoyed a rare happy and charming time.

This will be Wang Puzheng telling Chen Yuanyuan a joke.

Wang Pu said: "There was a man who got lost in the desert, and when he was on the verge of death, he suddenly saw a beautiful fairy walking slowly towards him, and the man shouted, 'Fairy save me, I haven't drunk water for three days', the fairy thought about it, and said, 'You wait a while', after a while, the fairy came to the man with a glass of grass mold juice, and the man didn't finish drinking, 'I want to drink another glass', the beautiful fairy sighed, and said, 'No, I have to wait for next month'." ”

Chen Yuanyuan was puzzled: "Strange, why wait for next month?" ”

Wang Pu smiled evilly: "Because that beautiful fairy only comes to that once a month." ”

"Huh!?" Chen Yuanyuan suddenly came to his senses, crashed into Wang Pu's arms, and gently beat his little hand on Wang Pu's strong chest like a drum, and said angrily, "Master, you are necrotic." ”

Looking at Chen Yuanyuan's lightly angry and charming and infinitely delicate appearance, Wang Pu couldn't hold it anymore, and gently grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's little hand and hugged her plump delicate body tightly into his arms, I don't know if Wang Pu hugged her tightly or for some other reason, Chen Yuanyuan's breathing obviously began to become short.

Wang Pu's hands groped around Chen Yuanyuan's delicate body for a while, then picked up her Luo Shang to untie her belt, and after untying the belt, he reached out and touched her dirty pants, the tentacles were hot and slippery, Chen Yuanyuan was actually already flooded with spring tides, but she still gently pressed Wang Pu's hands, and said coquettishly: "Master, don't." ”

Wang Pu gasped: "Why not? ”

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Daddy Li said that if you are pregnant, you can't do that anymore." ”

"Don't listen to that old man's nonsense." Wang Pu gasped, "It's been more than three months, it's okay." ”

"Master, the slave family listens to you."

Chen Yuanyuan muttered, lay back on the soft woolen blanket, Wang Pu supported his elbows on the pit, and reached out to gently caress Chen Yuanyuan's delicate body, staring at Chen Yuanyuan affectionately, Chen Yuanyuan also looked back at Wang Pu affectionately, Wang Pu slowly pressed his strong body to Chen Yuanyuan's soft delicate body...... ■■■

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chongzhen is a rare workaholic, as long as it is sent by officials from all over the country, he has to personally see it, the report of the day is approved on the same day, and it will not be delayed until the next day to make a reply, this day Emperor Chongzhen has just finished approving the last report, and when he is about to go to bed, the governor of Shaanxi Chen Chunde's 800 miles of urgent tang newspaper was sent to Emperor Chongzhen's imperial case.

If it is an ordinary report, Wang Chengen sometimes dares to press it in order to take care of Emperor Chongzhen's dragon body, but what is the concept of 800 miles of urgent Tang Bao? Only a large-scale invasion of foreign races, a large-scale rebellion of the people, or a rebellion of the vassal kings and other rebellious things are enough to qualify for the eight-hundred-mile expeditious, who the fuck eats the bear's heart and the leopard dares to suppress it?

Emperor Chongzhen opened Chen Chunde's Tang Bao in an extremely eager mood, and after reading it in a hurry, he said angrily: "Fu Zonglong is incompetent! Fu Zonglong misguided the country! Fu Zonglong can be punished! ”

After that, Emperor Chongzhen slammed the pond newspaper on the ground.

Wang Chengen stepped forward to pick it up without saying a word, and hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and his face changed, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only carefully fold up the pond newspaper and put it on the imperial case again.

Emperor Chongzhen paced rapidly in the main hall, and said angrily: "I handed over the big Shaanxi to him, and handed over the three sides of Shaanxi that are related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty to him, just hoping that he can consolidate the foundation and calm the people, pacify the people of Shaanxi for me, and be optimistic about the northwest gate of the Ming Dynasty for me, but what is the result?" ”

Saying that, Emperor Chongzhen began to roar angrily again: "As a result, it has been less than two months since he took office, and the three sides of Shaanxi have become miserable, and the people are in misery, and the civil uprisings have broken out in Yan'an, Xi'an, and Pingliang, Fu Zonglong has lived up to my high expectations for him, and he must be responsible for the civil uprising in Shaanxi!" ”

"Hooray." Wang Chengen cautiously persuaded, "Fu Zonglong is incompetent, he should also be responsible for the civil uprising in Shaanxi, long live the Lord can immediately send Jinyi Wei to take him to Beijing for questioning, but the popular rebellion in Shaanxi cannot be ignored, and a capable general must be sent to suppress it." ”

"But who should I send?" Emperor Chongzhen said miserably, "None of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty can bear this serious injury, but it is a pity that there are many Ming Dynasty and hundreds of millions of people, but there are few capable ministers who can share my worries, alas, it would be nice if there were two more Hong Chengchou, and I would not lose sight of one or the other, but pressed the gourd but raised the scoop ......"

Wang Chengen whispered: "Long live Lord, when it comes to the candidate to suppress the people of Shanxi, there is actually one. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Who is this person?" ”

Wang Chengen reminded: "Isn't the horse master still in Datong now? Long live the Lord of the next decree, so that the master of the horse temporarily took the rank of general of Datong, led the official army of Datong Town to suppress the civil rebellion in Shaanxi, and used the ability of the master of the horse to fight well, and the slave thought that the civil rebellion in Shaanxi could be controlled in a short time. ”

"You mean Wang Pu?"

Emperor Chongzhen's brows tightened suddenly, it is said that Wang Pu should have set off to return to Beijing half a month ago, but he has not left until now, Datong prefect Wei Daben went to the Tao, saying that Wang Pu was occasionally infected with the cold, not good at walking, and there was no way to leave in the near future, but Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it at all, he always felt that Wang Pu was deliberately dragging and refused to return to Beijing.

Emperor Chongzhen can't help but want to, why does Wang Pu refuse to return to Beijing? What did Wang Pu think in his heart?

"Long live the master, only the horse master can control the situation in Shaanxi now."

Wang Chengen said this not because he accepted a huge bribe from Wang Pu, let alone intentionally wanted to speak for Wang Pu, what he said was true, and he considered it from the position of Emperor Chongzhen.

Speaking from his heart, Emperor Chongzhen was really unwilling to let Wang Pu stay in Datong Town to lead the troops.

But now the civil uprising in Shaanxi is getting more and more intense, Chen Chunde said in the Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Tang Newspaper that if the imperial court does not send elite soldiers to suppress it, the situation in Shaanxi Province is likely to be completely out of control, and what worries Emperor Chongzhen even more is that once Shaanxi is out of control, neighboring Shanxi Province will inevitably not be spared!

If the situation in Shanxi and Shaanxi gets out of control, coupled with Henan, which is entrenched by Li Zicheng, the army of thieves will have the territory of three provinces, and the sphere of influence will be greatly expanded, and the rule of the Ming Dynasty north of the Yangtze River is even in danger of collapse.

"Okay." Emperor Chongzhen sighed leisurely and said to Wang Chengen, "You immediately return to the ceremonial supervisor to draft the decree, and let Wang Pu temporarily lead the rank of general of Datong with the captain of the horse, and lead the army to suppress the rebellion of the people in the mountains and Shaanxi." ”

"The slave obeys."

Wang Chengen agreed and took the order.
