On this day, the city of Nanjing was full of jubilation.

Workshops were suspended, shops were closed, tea shops, restaurants, and pornographic establishments were no longer open, gentry, peddlers, pawns, scribes, merchants, and craftsmen all flocked to the streets, and those who knew and did not know all gathered together to cheer and cheer......

This is by no means the official organization of the Ming Dynasty, nor is it organized by the folk schools of Donglin Fushe, these Nanjing people are spontaneous, when they hear the good news of Jining victory and Yanjing recovery, they can't help but rush to the streets, it is the outbreak of national feelings after the extreme depression, that is an unstoppable torrent......

Nanjing has not been so lively for a long time.

Since the fall of Yanjing and the hanging of Emperor Chongzhen, and even since Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Yanjing, Nanjing City has never been so lively! When Emperor Longwu, who had always lived in a simple place in the imperial palace, rode out of the streets on the imperial chariot, the atmosphere on the streets of Nanjing reached the most, and countless people rushed forward and shouted long live.

The young Emperor Longwu finally found the dignity of the emperor from the faces of the excited Nanjing people, and his face was flushed with excitement.

Nanjing City, sleepless tonight, when the people in the city are carnivaling, in the side hall of the old mansion, Sun Chuanting, Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi are frowning each other.

What made the three of them worried was Wang Pu's flying pigeon biography.

Wang Pu's flying pigeon biography said two things, the first thing is, of course, to report the good news of Jining's victory and Yanjing's recovery, but the second thing is somewhat unexpected by Sun Chuanting's three people, that is, to ask the imperial court to issue an order to kill Hu!

Sun Chuanting of course they know what the killing of Hu Ling is, thinking that the Han people were forced into a desperate situation, it is the paper killing order of the martial king Ran Min that has allowed the bloodline of the Han people to continue, if it were not for this paper killing Hu order, the Central Plains of the current place is only afraid that it is already a world of Wuhu, and it no longer belongs to the Han people at all.

However, there is a difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty after all, is it really necessary to issue an order to kill Hu?

Sun Chuanting glanced at Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi, and asked, "What do the two pavilion elders think?" ”

Qian Qianyi hissed and didn't squeak, but Lu Daqi said without thinking: "My subordinates completely agree with Hou Ye's decision, it is necessary to issue an order to kill Hu, and it is necessary to exterminate Jiannu and Mongolian Tartars, if they are not exterminated now, will they be left to harm their descendants in the future?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The good soldier is an ominous weapon, the saint has to use it as a last resort, if it is to continue the bloodline of the Han people, in order to maintain the Ming Dynasty, of course, it should be fought with Jiannu and Tartar to the end, but now that Jiannu and Tartar have been defeated, do you really have to kill them all?" Is this against nature? ”

"If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different." Lu Daqi hurriedly said, "Elder Ge, have you forgotten that five hundred years ago, the Jurchens brought a tragic disaster to the Han people in the Central Plains?" Today, 500 years later, the Jurchens have brought disaster to us Han people, does Ge Lao hope that 500 years later, the Jurchens will bring disaster to our children and grandchildren again? ”

"This ......"

Sun Chuanting was speechless.

Qian Qianyi said in a low voice: "But blindly killing indiscriminately is not the solution to the problem after all." ”

Lu Daqi frowned and said, "Could it be that Elder Mu has a better solution?" Could it be that the shepherd can make Jiannu and Tartar put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas? ”

"This ......"

Qian Qianyi was also speechless.

To say that the disasters of barbarians have existed in all dynasties, but the Han dynasty in the Central Plains has always occupied an absolute advantage, and these disasters of barbarism have become the disease of scabies, but no one can guarantee that the Han dynasty in the Central Plains did not have the time of national exhaustion, such as the Wuhu Chaos period more than a thousand years ago, if it were not for Ran Min, the Han bloodline would have been cut off!

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for Wang Pu to turn the tide, the Central Plains would have become a ranch for Jiannu and Tartars!

Who can guarantee that the future Han dynasty will not have another time when the national power is exhausted? Who can guarantee that the surrounding barbarians at that time would not raise their butcher knives again and massacre the unarmed Han people? Wantonly destroying the civilization of the Han people?

Lu Daqi looked at Qian Qianyi, and then at Sun Chuanting and said: "Elder Ge, for the sake of future generations, for the sake of the blessings of the Han people for thousands of generations, don't hesitate anymore!" ”

Qian Qianyi thought for a while, and said: "Elder Ge, since this order to kill Hu was proposed by the Hou Ye, the cabinet will follow it." ”

Qian Qianyi is also interested, knowing that Sun Chuanting is actually just a temporary cabinet chief, don't look at him as Wang Pu's godfather, but when he really encounters major national political strategies, he has to listen to Wang Pu in the end, just say that this time the promulgation of the order to kill Hu is a major event, even if Sun Chuanting has a pimple in his heart, but in the end, he can only do things according to the rules.

To say, the real helmsman of the Ming Empire is not Emperor Longwu, nor Sun Chuanting, but Wang Pu, Marquis of Jingnan!

"Then ......," Sun Chuanting said, "then do things according to the rules and draw up a ticket." ”

"Oh, old Ge, what kind of ticket are you going to make?" Lu Daqi stomped his feet and said, "Just do it." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "That...... Just do it. ”

Lu Daqi put a blue tick on the cabinet record, and said: "Now let's talk about the candidates for the governor of Shandong and the governor of Beizhi, what the Hou Ye means is that he will no longer serve as the governor of these two provinces, and let the cabinet select from among the court officials and local officials, I don't know if there is a suitable candidate in the heart of the cabinet elder?" ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "What suitable candidate can the old man have?" ”

Lu Daqi and Qian Qianyi exchanged glances, and said: "Then the subordinates will mention two candidates, the subordinates think that Ying Tianfu Yin Qu Shiyun, Fujian Governor Wei Daben can be talented and qualified, Wei Daben's ability Sun Ge always knows, not much, Ying Tianfu Yin Qu Shiyun is also good, capable of doing things, courageous, enough to take on heavy responsibilities." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Then so be it, Qu Shiyun will be the governor of Beizhi, and Wei Daben will be the governor of Shandong!" ”

Shandong, Zhangqiu Town.

Zhangqiu Town is located in Liaocheng south of more than 100 miles, close to the canal, was originally a very prosperous market town on the side of the canal, the merchants and ships from the south to the north will rest here, so the shops on the street are lined up, the restaurants and inns are lined up one after another, it is very lively.

It is a pity that after Jiannu entered the customs, it was burned and plundered by Jiannu several times, and the people in the town fled and died, and most of the rest hid in the nearby deep mountains and old forests, and they did not dare to come out easily.

Outside the town, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the dead and silent wilderness, and a cavalry team of more than 100 horsemen suddenly galloped from the northern horizon.

Of course, this female general is the Red Lady, and she came to Zhang Qiuzhen with more than 100 cavalry soldiers to have a tryst with her lover.

At this time, the red lady is like returning to the candle night in the cave room, Fang's heart is full of expectation, and full of apprehension, she dreams about Wang Pu, thinking about Wang Pu's strong arms, thinking about indulging in love with Wang Pu, but when it really came to the moment when she wanted to meet her lover, her heart began to be nervous again.

As early as when Kaifeng, the red lady heard a lot about Wang Pu's romance.

In addition to Chen Yuanyuan, who is captivating the country and the city, Dong Xiaowan, Liu Ruyi, Li Shiniang, Kou Baimen, Gu Mei, Li Xiangjun and other Qinhuai celebrities have successively become Wang Pu's forbidden belly, and Qin Huai Bayan, who is high in the south of the Yangtze River, seems to be left with a Yujing Daogu who has not become Wang Pu's woman, Wang Pu has too many talented women, beauties and beautiful women around him, does he still have her red lady in his heart?

The red lady has long heard that these Qinhuai celebrities can sing and dance, are empathetic, and are the world's first-class lovely people, but her red lady is just a barbarian woman who doesn't know anything, can only dance swords and swords, fight and kill, and ...... She is still a widow with a dead husband, can she compare with them?

Unconsciously, the crimson on the red lady's cheeks faded, but there was a resentment between her eyebrows.

When she was nervous, she had already come to the outside of Zhang Qiu Town, and the red lady had already seen the soldiers of the Central Army standing guard outside the town, the two soldiers were holding muskets with bayonets, standing upright in the cold wind like javelins, and the snowflakes that were falling all over the sky had spread a thick layer on their cotton coats, and even their eyebrows were covered with ice chips, but they did not move like stone sculptures.

The red lady turned around and instructed the soldiers behind her: "You wait for me outside the town, you don't have to follow in." ”

The captain of the pro-soldier hurriedly said: "Madam, the second general said that you have to protect you at all times......

The red lady's willow eyebrows tightened for a moment, and she said in a condensed voice: "The second general said it!" What did the second general say? ”

"Uh......" said the captain of the personal soldiers, "as the captain of the personal soldiers of the lady, it is the responsibility to protect the safety of the lady. ”

"I don't need to." The red lady said coldly, "You guys stay outside the town." ”

After that, the red lady no longer paid attention to the captain of the personal soldiers, and entered Zhang Qiu Town, the sound of hooves was audible, and the figure of the red lady quickly disappeared into the empty and deep streets of Zhang Qiu Town, and the two soldiers of the Central Army standing guard did not prevent the Red Lady from breaking in, but when the captain of the personal soldiers tried to step forward, their stunning eyes immediately fell on him like a knife.

The Red Lady rode into the market town and finally stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, there are also two straight soldiers of the Central Army, this is a very recognizable signpost, the red lady turned over and dismounted, led the war horse into the gate, the soldiers of the Central Army standing guard did not squint, the red lady who just entered was like air, they were completely blind.

"Matchmaker!"

A male voice that is both familiar and unfamiliar, both close at hand and as if far away in the sky suddenly sounded from a very close distance, the voice was full of indescribable joy, the red lady was like being devoured by thunder, and turned around in a trance, and the figure who didn't know how many times I thought about it in my dream was standing under an old plum tree.

The north wind is gentle and the snowflakes are light.

Although the man was wearing a cotton coat, the shoulders of the cotton coat and the big cap on his head had been covered with a thick layer of ice and snow, and his face and nose had been red from the cold. Just to wait for her?

The resentment between the eyebrows of the red lady dissolved in an instant, even though he saw that there were thousands of grievances in his heart before, and there were thousands of sorrows, but at this moment, the red lady's heart only had tenderness. Gently stepped forward, the red lady stretched out her cold little hand to caress the man's equally cold face, and asked softly, "Is it cold?" ”

"It's not cold." Wang Pu stretched out his hand to caress the red lady's soft breast, and said softly, "My heart is hot." ”

Gently leaning into Wang Pu's arms, the red lady lightly wrapped her jade arm around Wang Pu's waist, Wang Pu also hugged the red lady's delicate body tightly, the two hugged and hugged like that, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, the gentle snowflakes were still slowly falling from the air, and the affection of the veins flowed in the hearts of the two.

Zhigu (Tianjin).

After five days of rapid marching, Duoduo's army of more than 10,000 Jiannu finally arrived at the foot of Zhigu City.

Before arriving in Gugu, Duoduo still had a little luck in his heart, hoping that the partial division sent by Wang Pu to attack Yanjing did not have time to take care of Zhigu, so Zhigu was still under the control of the Eight Banners Army, but outside the city of Zhigu, Duoduo's extravagant hopes were immediately shattered, because the moon flag of the Ming Empire was re-floated at the head of Zhigu City.

"Damn it." Looking at the Yueyue Banner at the head of the city, Duoduo scolded viciously, "These capricious Nanming barbarians! ”

The Ming army in Zhigu City fell back to the Ming Dynasty, which was a big blow to Duoduo's more than 10,000 Jiannu army, originally Duoduo still wanted to rest in Zhigu City for a good night, the Jiannu army has been marching for five days in a row, and the soldiers have long been tired.

But in order to speed up the march, the Duoduo division abandoned all the baggage, even the tents and bedding, if they did not enter the city, would they let the soldiers camp in the ice and snow in the wilderness? If Duoduo really wants to do this, it would be good to have half of the people alive tomorrow morning, but this is a bitter cold of tens of degrees below zero, and it will freeze people alive.

Zhengbai Qixiao stepped forward and said, "Master Yu, what should I do now?" ”

"Master Yu, give the order to attack the city." Suna's son, Sukh Saha, said, "If you can't go into the city to rest, the soldiers will either die of exhaustion or freeze to death." ”

Duoduo Huo Ran raised his hand and said in a condensed voice: "I want to attack the city, but I have to wait until night!" ”

"At night?" Suna said, "What is the master's clever plan? ”

Duoduo stretched out his hand and pointed at the Wei River, and said with a cruel smile, "You see, the Wei River has begun to freeze. ”

Sukh Saha said: "The master wants to attack the city from the water gate? But the Ming army in the city was heavily guarded. ”

"This king has his own way."

Duoduo's eyes were hideous, and he called Suna and Sukh Saha father and son to him and gave such and such an order, and Suna, Sukh Saha and his son nodded again and again, and took the order.
