Qin Yi said: "Although King Fu is bad, the students think that if the thief really besieges Luoyang, the general should still save it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info save the king of Fu when it is critical, my Shunxiang army is powerful in the world, the general is really well-known in the world, the gentry spread, and the court is more dependent. ”

Wang Dou was silent, and emotionally, he had a very bad impression of King Fu and the others. In this place of Henan, many feudal clans gathered, and their farmlands occupied more than half of the land in Henan, and they were like vampires, accelerating the poverty of the people in Henan.

Especially the Fu Wang...... People show that the vassal kings at the beginning were more powerful than the other, but the vassal kings at the end of the Ming Dynasty were more powerful than the net. This blessed king is one of the typical, Chongzhen thirteen years of Henan land has been cannibalistic, its people are still spending days and drinking, living a shameless and corrupt life, watching glamorous dances all day long, playing with women, weighing up to three hundred and sixty pounds.

Perhaps this is what the court is willing to see, the Ming Dynasty has always been the vassal king as a pig, and it is normal for the people to complain under the rule, if the rich "virtuous" name, it is "inviting people to buy people's hearts and plotting against them", and King Fu will only eat, drink and have fun as the officials hope, and never hand over the guests, which is "Chinese and foreign peace".

Emotionally, Wang Dou did not have a good impression of King Fu and other vassal kings, but reason told him that if the siege of Luoyang was solved, the political score would be amazingly high. Perhaps in the minds of the court and the emperor, Wang Dou led the Shunxiang army to defeat the Qing soldiers in the past, and it may not be as important as saving a few vassal kings.

That is the real world's well-known, the entire Ming Dynasty - not to mention the entire Ming Dynasty, but also the hard iron firefighting team in the eyes of most scholars in the world, and the imperial court is even more dependent. Moreover, defeating Li Zicheng's army planted the seeds of fear of the Shunxiang army in their hearts, which also had very high benefits for future operations.

Watching Li Zicheng conquer Luoyang, the only advantage he can have is to take the opportunity to defeat his army and seize some of the money and rice he took from Luoyang, but this benefit is obviously shorter than spreading the world's fame.

Moreover, according to Wang Dou's local historical records in Luoyang, after Li Zicheng conquered Luoyang, he obtained gold, silver, money and rice from Fuwangfu's mansion, Luoyang Guancang, and wealthy households in the city, which was far less than imagined, but tens of thousands of stones of grain and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. To be honest, Wang Dou doesn't care much about this money and food.

Different from the imagination of the world, Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, and Luoyang also experienced fierce resistance, and the war lasted from the 7th day of the first month of the 14th year of Chongzhen to the 26th day of the first month. The whole of Luoyang was mobilized, and all men and women over the age of 15 and under the age of 50 in the city had to protect the city. The chief of the mile and the chief of the first division are divided into pieces, and the guard boundary is divided with white ash, and the women build sheds and stoves, cook and deliver water, and all the people are soldiers.

Zhu Changxun, the blessed king who was powerful and blessed in Luoyang City on weekdays, also put down his shelves, inspected the defense, encouraged the soldiers and the people to defend the city, and also took out a large amount of silver and rice to encourage rewards. A special death squad was formed, and each person was rewarded with 100 taels of silver.

Wang Dou estimated that Fu Wang's wealth had been consumed a lot when he was defending the city, and if it was really rumored that he had a family fortune of tens of millions, and millions of stones of grain and rice, it was impossible for Li Zicheng to only steal that amount of money and grain.

It was precisely because of the desperate resistance of the Luoyang army and the people that Li Zicheng's army suffered a lot of losses, and finally the defenders surrendered, and after the city fell, Li Zicheng entered the city to retaliate and killed King Fu.

There are four versions of the death of King Fu, and the fourth theory is more widespread, that is, King Fu was eaten, and the name is Fu Lu Banquet. Wang Dou thinks that this statement is nonsense, because it is more interesting, so it is more widely circulated, and it does not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, hatred of the rich is the mainstream at that time, this statement is more hateful.

Wang Dou leaned towards the third version, where King Fu recruited dead soldiers to severely damage King Chuang's army, and King Chuang killed him in revenge. After attacking the city, not only did King Fu and more than 400 officials in the city be executed, but also killed Sun Tingsheng, Wang Chaoshan, and Wang Yiming, three large landlords from Mengjin, Xin'an, and Song County who came to Luoyang to organize resistance.

Therefore, for Wang Dou, there is not much benefit to sitting back and watching Li Zicheng conquer Luoyang, and the possible material gains are not very good.

If the siege of Luoyang is relieved at the most critical juncture, and the siege of Xiangyang is relieved in the future, the good opportunity to shock Henan, Huguang, and even Jiangnan can be easily obtained, fully proving the role of the patron saint of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court will rely on it if it is not important.

Sometimes fame is more important than immediate benefits, no matter what the fate of King Fu, King Xiang and others will be in the future, at least for now, Wang Dou has saved them, and it will be of great benefit to himself.

Watching the Liukou tactics and then taking the opportunity to become famous is Wang Dou's strategy for this trip.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Dou quickly made up his mind.

He said: "As Mr. Qin said, if the thieves attack Luoyang, our Shunxiang army should save them, but we need to choose the right time." The Intelligence Department needs to pay close attention to the land of western Henan, and the thieves' every move will be known to the general. ”,

He looked around at everyone: "If my Shunxiang army is dispatched, it will be a thunderous blow, I want to make Li Chuang tremble and feel cold, and in the future, I will see the banner of my Shunxiang army and dare not fight, and I will wake up and wail every day!" ”

All the generals burst into laughter, especially Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi, who laughed wildly, and a cruel light flashed in their eyes.

They are full of confidence in Wang Dou, full of confidence in themselves, and full of confidence in the Shunxiang Army, they have this confidence and strength!

Seeing everyone's high-spirited appearance, Wang Dou thought silently: "There are thousands of miles from Kaifeng to Xiangyang, and the things over there should have been arranged." ”

……

On October 23, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Kaifeng Mansion.

Kaifeng is the capital of Henan Province, Kaifeng Prefecture is located, Xiangfu County is attached to Guo, the provincial, government and county three-level official offices are gathered in one place, and the official offices are all in the southwest of Zhou Wangfu. With the Bell Tower as the center, the Chief Secretary for Administration is located on the West Street of the Bell Tower, and the Command and Embassy Office is located on the East Street of the Bell Tower, and there are Divisions such as the Judicial Division, the Prison Division, the Governor's Office, and the Experience Division.

Around these government offices, there are continuous official residences around them, with high walls and red doors, and magnificent buildings.

In one of the mansions, Chen Yongfu, the deputy commander-in-chief of Henan, was pondering, the more urgent the news of Luoyang, Li Zicheng swept through western Henan, and captured Lushi, Shaanzhou, Lingbao, Mianchi, Xin'an and other places, making Luoyang slowly become an isolated city, and its tendency to besiege Luoyang became more and more obvious.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng had attacked Luoyang, and the army was defeated under the city, and Li Zicheng made a comeback a few years later, and it was rumored that he hated Luoyang deeply and must slaughter the city in the future. Under this news, the people in Luoyang City became more and more chaotic, the rich people wanted to escape, and refugees and large families from various counties fled into Luoyang City one after another.

Luoyang City is not as good as Kaifeng City, there are fewer soldiers and horses, and in the face of Li Zicheng's rapid offensive, King Fu and officials in the city are panicked.

In addition to summoning Lu Weiqi, the former secretary of the military department, and Kang Menghui, the prefect, to discuss, King Yinchang, the military garrison Wang Yinchang, the governor Li Xianfeng, and the chief soldier Wang Shaoyu and others went to discuss the matter, and had the intention of asking the imperial court for reinforcements.

The result of Luoyang's deliberations was to know the military situation, and at that time, Wang Shaoyu, the chief soldier of Kaifeng, Liu Jianyi, and Lingtai, the guerrilla, would all lead troops to Luoyang for reinforcements, leaving only Chen Yongfu himself to lead thousands of troops to guard Kaifeng. This resulted in a very weak defense of Kaifeng.

However, Chen Yongfu and others had no choice, and there were few local officers and soldiers in Henan, which was already the largest force that could be mobilized locally. And Li Zicheng is huge, whether the officers and soldiers who went to reinforce can defeat the hundreds of thousands of rogues and keep Luoyang, everyone is also uncertain.

Today, the governor and the general army came back from Luoyang, Chen Yongfu saw their gloomy faces, in the past, the general soldier Wang Shaoyu liked to call a few generals the most, and went to the head of the big corner to drink flower wine, and he didn't mention it today.

"Why can't you finish the thieves when they come back?"

Just as Chen Yongfu thought of this, a voice interrupted his musings.

"Daddy, Daddy."

A young general led the way into the study, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a bright helmet, armor, waist knife, bow and arrow, dressed as a military general, full of vitality in his expectation, but it was his son Chen De.

Seeing his son like this, Chen Yongfu couldn't help but scold: "Look at your impatient appearance, do you still have the posture of an official general?" ”

Chen De grinned, he knew that his father had a strict appearance, but he loved him the most on weekdays, and he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, as a son, he had already understood his father's temper.

He arched his hand and said seriously: "Yes, I have seen the military gate under the mark." ”

Chen Yongfu's complexion was a little pale, and his eyes flashed with love, his wife died early, and this son was raised by him, this is both a father and a mother, and his feelings for his son are full of love. And his son Chen De also lived up to his expectations, he was extraordinary, famous in Kaifeng Mansion, and shot a good arrow (in history, Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, it was Chen De who shot him in the left eye).

In the Ming army, he respected martial arts and bravery, and Chen De's courage gave Chen Yongfu a big face as a father, and every time he chatted with the generals and talked about his son, he was praised, saying that his tiger father had no dog son, so that Chen Yongfu's vanity was greatly satisfied.

At this time, Chen De was also a garrison officer, in charge of 500 people under Chen Yongfu's command. Chen Yongfu, as the deputy commander-in-chief, has 3,000 soldiers directly under the battalion, although he does not treat his subordinates harshly like the general soldier Wang Shaoyu, and the number of people who eat empty salaries reaches half, but there are also many old and weak soldiers in it, and these 500 families are Chen Yongfu's greatest credentials.

Chen De also lived up to his expectations, and put these five hundred families in good order, with these hundreds of strong families, not to take care of Li Xianfeng, or the chief soldier Wang Shaoyu, they were all polite to themselves, and even the long history of the Zhou Palace, when they saw themselves, they also had to be honored Chen Weng. ,

However, Chen Yongfu also has a lot of dissatisfaction with his son, that is, he likes to travel, three religions and nine streams, and he has made friends with everything. Who is Zhou Long? Ranger is a child who specializes in collecting protection fees in places such as Dashan Goods Street, and also controls hundreds of cappella prostitutes to serve in various teahouses and restaurants.

The son's association with such a character is really a big loss of his identity.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but as soon as Chen De saw his appearance, he knew that his father was about to start training again, so he spoke first: "Father, Wang Junmen has come back from Luoyang, right?" ”

Sure enough, Chen Yongfu was diverted from his attention, and he sighed: "Wang Junmen, they just came back from Luoyang, Governor Li's meaning, if the Luoyang army is in a hurry, Wang Bingbei will lead Wang Junmen's standard camp, as well as Liu Jianyi, Lingtai two battalions of guerrillas went to help, for my father to see them like mourning, I am afraid that fighting with thieves is cold." ”

Chen De breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that my father wasn't sent." ”

He was schadenfreude: "The military gate and Wang Bingbei usually have a bad relationship with the governor, and now Li Xun has found a reason to rectify it, hundreds of thousands of thieves are enough for them to drink a pot." ”

Then he worried: "Father won't be sent when the time comes, right?" ”

Chen Yongfu paced in the study: "I don't know if I am a father, if the military situation is urgent, it is not impossible." ”

Chen De pondered and meditated for a long time, and then he became excited, tiptoed to Chen Yongfu, and said in a low voice: "Father, have you heard of Wang Dou, the general of Dingguo?" He led the army to Kaifeng yesterday and begged for food from the city, and the child went to his camp today, tsk, the soldiers and horses ......"

He whispered, "The kid has an idea......
