Fan Wencheng said: "Master, the slave has a sentence that I don't know if to say or not?" ”

Dorgon said, "Sir, please." ”

Fan Wencheng said: "The master's idea of forming a firearms battalion is good, but unfortunately there is neither an iron-smelting workshop nor a craftsman who makes guns in Liaodong. ”

Dolgon frowned and said, "So, the firearms battalion can't be formed after all?" ”

"Not necessarily." Fan Wencheng said, "If the master wants to form a firearms battalion, he must first annex North Korea, which is known as the small Central Plains, and there are complete iron-smelting workshops and weapons workshops in the country, and there are enough skilled craftsmen, and through the North Korean masters, they can buy Xiyi firearms from the Japanese people!" ”

Dolgon said, "Sir, mean to destroy Korea?" ”

"Yes." Fan Wencheng said, "Let Korea become a province of the Great Qing Dynasty, and send a competent person to North Korea to be the governor, and the governor has already thought about the slave for the master, he is Hong Chengchou." ”

"Hong Chengchou?" Dolgon frowned and said, "He has just returned to the Qing Dynasty, so I am afraid it is not suitable to send him to Korea as a governor, what if he betrays back to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Fan Wencheng said, "As long as the master tells the world about Hong Chengchou's surrender to the world, Chongzhen Xiao'er will definitely kill his whole family, so that Hong Chengchou's way to rebel back to the Ming Dynasty will be blocked, and he can only die for his master, not to mention that the army stationed in North Korea is the Eight Banners, even if Hong Chengchou really has different intentions, he can't turn the sky." ”

Ning Wan said: "Xiandou means that only Hong Chengchou will be allowed to handle government affairs, but he will not be allowed to supervise military affairs?" ”

"Yes." Fan Wencheng said, "That's what it means. ”

"Hmm." Dolgon nodded and said, "Tomorrow the king will play to the queen mother and send five thousand iron horsemen to destroy Korea." ”

Sun Chuanting left with mixed feelings after a secret conversation with Wang Pu, twelve Hongyi cannons were left, and Wang Pu also recognized him as a godfather, but Sun Chuanting was not sure if Wang Pu had become his confidant? Sun Chuanting was even more unsure whether he could control Wang Pu, a fierce general.

Sun Chuanting discovered that Wang Pu was not just a pure martial artist, he was a very thoughtful person, and Wang Pu's idea of "limiting the monarchy" made Sun Chuanting feel deeply afraid.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the idea of the supremacy of monarchy has taken root in the hearts of scholars, and Zhu Xi's science carried forward by this false Taoism has raised the "Three Principles and Five Constants" of loyalty to the monarch to the height of spiritual belief, until the advent of Yangming Xinxue, the dominance of Confucianism in the spiritual field has been challenged, and the original marginalized idea of "the monarch is light on the people" has been able to re-elevate its head.

Speaking from the heart, Wang Pu's idea of "limiting the power of the monarch" was in line with the ideas of some Confucian scholars who believed in Yangming Xinxue at that time, and Sun Chuanting also felt that the power of the monarch should be restricted.

But the "restriction of monarchy" in Sun Chuanting's mind and the "restriction of monarchy" in Wang Pu's mind are two completely different concepts, Sun Chuanting's restriction of monarchy is more reflected in the minister's struggle with the emperor in the court, while Wang Pu's restriction of monarchy is to force the emperor to submit by force.

Although Wang Pu also explained to Sun Chuanting that forcing the emperor to submit by force was only an expedient measure in troubled times, and the Ming Emperor would always be the descendant of the Zhu family, Sun Chuanting was deeply skeptical of Wang Pu's words, if one day Wang Pu really became Cao Ying, and the Ming Emperor became a puppet in his hands, would he still think like this?

A voice said to Sun Chuanting: "Kill Wang Pu, although this guy shouts that he will not usurp Ming, but he is actually another Li Zicheng, and he is ten times more terrible than Li Zicheng, a hundred times!" If you don't kill Wang Pu, the Ming Dynasty will die at his hands one day......"

Another voice immediately retorted: "No, you can't kill Wang Pu!" Let's not talk about whether you can kill him, even if you can kill him, you can't kill him, now the thieves are swarming, the construction of slaves is rampant, the Ming country is already in danger, and Wang Pu is the only one who can turn the tide......"

With extremely complicated feelings, Sun Chuanting left Datong.

Sun Chuanting's next stop is Xi'an, and he is going to meet Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, and Fierce as a Tiger!

Datong, the general army marches.

Zhao Liujin hurriedly stepped inside, hugged his fist to Wang Pu and said, "See the general." ”

"That's it." Wang Pu waved his hand lightly and said, "Six catties, Datong will be handed over to you." ”

"Uh......" Zhao Liujin was taken aback when he heard this, and said hurriedly, "General, you are ......"

Wang Pu said: "Sun Chuanting, the governor of the five provinces, has already come to Datong, and he wants to transfer the elite soldiers of this town to Kaifeng to encircle and suppress the thieves, and the army will be pulled out in three days." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Liujin said hurriedly, "So urgent? But after you and the army leave, what will Datong do? ”

Although after Wang Pu left, Zhao Liujin became the highest military general in Datong Town, but in addition to excitement, Zhao Liujin also had a trace of worry in his heart, because Wang Pu had eliminated all the guards and troops, and now there are only three battalions under Wang Pu in Datong Town.

"You don't have to worry about six pounds." Wang Pu comforted, "This town will leave you enough equipment and 50,000 taels of silver, you can use this silver to raise thousands of people, it is impossible for Jiannu and thieves to invade Datong in a short period of time, as long as you hurry up and train your troops, there is no problem in holding Datong." ”

Zhao Liujin put his mind at ease and asked again, "General, are you really leaving?" ”

"Really going to go." Wang Pu stepped forward and patted Zhao Liujin on the shoulder, and said straight to the point, "And this trip is likely not to come back, Datong is really handed over to you, I hope you can treat the people of Datong well." ”

"General......" Zhao Liujin choked up, "You let the lowly post go with you, right?" ”

"No." Wang Pu muttered, "Who will guard Datong when you leave?" You are the only one in this town who has the ability to stand alone, and I can only wronged you. ”

"General, don't worry." Zhao Liujin suddenly puffed up his chest and said loudly, "I will definitely guard Datong for you." ”

This will, Zhao Liujin really wanted to kneel down and call Wang Pu his father, it was Wang Pu who directly promoted him from guerrilla to deputy commander-in-chief, and it was Wang Pu who gave him the opportunity to lead a town alone, Wang Pu also left him enough equipment and 50,000 taels of silver before leaving, what else could Zhao Liujin ask for?

When Zhao Liujin left in a hurry, Zhen Youcai on the side asked in a low voice, "General, do you really want to leave?" ”

"Really going to go." Wang Pu nodded and said, "You have to go!" Although Datong is good, it is not a place to stay for a long time. ”

Zhen Youcai said: "But have you thought about it, the soldiers of the firearms battalion, the spear battalion and the baggage battalion are all from Shanxi, if the army has left Shanxi for a long time, it is inevitable that they will be homesick, if the soldiers are homesick, it will definitely affect the morale of the army, and it is possible to collapse without a fight." ”

"I've thought it through." Wang Pu said solemnly, "I will buy a large manor in Jiangnan, and then let Xiao Qi take the family team to take the families of the soldiers from Datong to Jiangnan in batches for resettlement, no matter how difficult it is, no matter how much money is spent, the families of the soldiers must be taken over." ”

Zhen Youcai nodded and said, "That's the only way." ”

Wang Pu said again: "There are also three weapons workshops in Datong, and the old craftsmen of the two gunpowder bureaus will also be taken away with the army." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "I know this humble job. ”

Wang's compound.

"Oops, the kid peed, peed again." Yao, who was holding Wang Fa in his arms and amusing himself, suddenly felt a burst of dampness and heat in his chest, and when he looked down urgently, he saw that his Luo Shang had been wet, and hurriedly shouted, "Nian Niang, quickly bring a clean diaper, our little Wang Fa is urinating again." ”

"Sister-in-law, let's do it with me." Chen Yuanyuan sat up from the bed with a smile, wanting to take Wang Fa from Yao's hands, he looked at the wet marks on Yao's chest with some embarrassment, and said apologetically, "This kid is really naughty, if you don't pee on others, you will pee on your sister-in-law, and I will pee on you three times a day." ”

"That's the child making out with his sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law is happy." Yao said with a smile, "Yuanyuan, lie back quickly, you have just come out of confinement, and your body is still weak, don't dare to tire you, otherwise the third child will not be able to spare your sister-in-law." ”

Saying that the young lady had already brought clean diapers, Yao's movements quickly changed Xiao Wangfa, and then opened his throat and shouted out of the door: "Pillar." ”

"Hey." Zhu Zi came in and asked, "Grandma, your name is villain?" ”

Yao asked, "Are you ready for the banquet?" ”

The pillar replied, "It's all ready, just wait for the feast to begin." ”

Yao asked again: "Have all the posts been posted?" Today is a good day for our little Wang Fa full moon, and we must do things lively. ”

"It's all sent." The pillar replied respectfully, "Grandma, don't worry." ”

Chen Yuanyuan on the side was embarrassed and said: "I don't know where my father-in-law went, it's really hard sister-in-law." ”

"The old man has the business of the old man." Yao said, "These things are originally our women's business. ”

The three brothers, Wang Pu, Wang Beech, and Wang Hua, are indeed discussing serious matters, that is, the matter of family migration.

Wang Pu said: "Big brother, second brother, the little brother has already arranged the move, the army will be pulled out in three days, and then the whole family will also set off with the army, and after Zhangde, Henan, let Xiao Qi lead the family Ding team to escort you through the canal, go south to Nanjing, and then go to Songjiang to take out the treasures." ”

"The third." Wang Hua said, "What about you?" Do you really want to go to Kaifeng and fight with thieves? ”

Wang Pu said: "Kaifeng must go, but it is not necessary to fight with thieves." ”

Wang Beech said: "In short, you must be careful, if you don't have an army in your hands, with these things you committed in Datong, our Wang family don't want to have a good end." ”

Wang Beech is telling the truth, now Emperor Chongzhen and the court dare not take the Wang family is all because Wang Pu has an elite division in his hands, if he loses the protection of this army, whether it is for the silver or for the face of the court, Emperor Chongzhen will immediately take the Wang family.

"Don't worry, big brother." Wang Pu smiled and said, "The little brother knows it in his heart. ”

"Ugh." Wang Beech sighed and said, "I really didn't expect it, our Wang family has moved from Jiangnan to Datong for more than 200 years, and when we came, I didn't expect to move back to Jiangnan again." ”

"Big brother, little brother, here are three letters." Wang Pu said as he took out three letters from his arms and handed them to Wang Beech, saying, "After you arrive in Nanjing, you can go to Chang Yanling and Li Zushu, the two little grandfathers, if you meet the water bandits, you can also find Huang Degong, the general of the Nanjing Navy Division, and they will help you." ”

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

Wang Chengen rushed into the main hall and knelt on the ground and said, "Long live Lord, good news." ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was resting on the imperial couch, turned sideways when he heard the sound, frowned and asked, "What good news?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "Just now, Zhang Zi'an sent an urgent letter with an urgent dispatch of six hundred li, saying that Wang Pu had decided to send troops, and he would march to Kaifeng in three days. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen sat up when he heard this, and asked urgently, "Is this true?" ”

"Absolutely." Wang Chengen said, "I don't dare to bully the king if I borrow Zhang Zi'an's slave and maid." ”

"It's worthy of Sun Chuanting." Emperor Chongzhen struck the festival and said, "I actually really ruled Wang Pu." ”

Wang Chengen said: "This is called one thing descending from one thing." ”

"Hmm." Emperor Chongzhen was already sleepy, got up and paced back and forth in front of the imperial couch, and suddenly said, "As long as Wang Pu leaves Datong's nest, things will be easy to do, and when he arrives in Kaifeng with the army, he will transfer Sun Yingyuan to Guyuan, and then transfer Jiang to Datong, I will cut off Wang Pu's way back to Datong." ”

"High, really high!" Wang Chengen said in a flattering voice, "Long live the foresight, and the slave admires it." ”

"But you can't force Wang Pu too tightly." Emperor Chongzhen's words turned around and continued, "This Jingying Governor still has to be him, and when the time comes, he will neither be able to return to Datong, nor will he have anywhere else to go, so he can only obediently come to Beijing to ask for me." ”
