Chapter 13: Rumors

Seeing these two prayer posts, Feng Da suddenly felt that his brain was about to explode. What is the origin of Jiading Bofu and Chengguo Mansion, he has been in Beijing for a long time, how can he not know. One is the father-in-law of today's son, and the other is the leading wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty. Although the crown prince Zhu Cilang is standing behind him, the things he is doing now are not visible after all. In particular, this Jiading Bo Zhou Kui and Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen, but they are famous for their regard for wealth as their fate, and they can't imagine that they have a share in the free trade zone, no wonder Dengzhou has been stable for so many years, and there are so many powerful people who covet it, but none of them dare to reach out!

Fonta felt like he was kicking the iron plate, no, two.

Jiading Bofu came to the door is the big housekeeper Zhou Mian, who spoke politely, but between the words it was clear that Jiading Bofu is a major shareholder in the free trade zone, and he also shoulders some errands in the palace on his back, which means that the queen also has some business in it.

The one who came to the door of the Chengguo Mansion was Zhu Chunchen's second son Zhu Hehata, this guy is a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, even if he is in Beijing, no one dares to provoke. Zhu Hehata was born to Zhu Chunchen's favorite concubine, and since he was not a descendant, he naturally had nothing to do with the title. But Zhu Chunchen is very fond of him, and he will take care of the business in the trade zone, which can be regarded as preparing his next family business in the future, so that he will not sit on the mountain.

The most important thing is that there are still in-laws in the Chengguo Mansion and the palace, and it is definitely not something that a little person like Feng Da can offend. Even if Zhu Cilang is in person, he may not be able to bargain for anything, let alone Feng Da.

Zhu Hehata is not as polite as Zhou Mian when he speaks, and Fengda wants to move the trade zone, it's okay! The premise is that you don't spare your life. Master, I am a good businessman who operates in accordance with the law, but you have to insert a lever into it. Then I'm sorry, the saber on my waist is not an ornament. Kill you Feng Da, the young master Zhu and Hata went to Beijing to bear the guilt.

Feng Da is not stupid, Zhu Hehata is the kind of evil young man who can say and do, and killing him Feng Da is just a small punishment. But Feng Da was a "sacrifice" in vain, and he couldn't even mix it with a preferential care.

Feng Da had to admit that the crown prince Zhu Cilang still underestimated Zhu Ping'an, thinking that with Wang Pin and Yang Tinglin in Dengzhou, even if he couldn't take the military power in Shandong, he could tear off a piece of meat from Zhu Ping'an's body, but he didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to win over so many powerful and wealthy families in front of him as a cover.

Facing the "evil forces" represented by Zhou Mian and Zhu Hehata, Feng Da asked himself that he had no ability to stop it, so he could only swallow his anger.

Suddenly. Feng Da felt that he was the most aggrieved and failed eunuch in history. Other colleagues went to the localities and towns as patrols on behalf of the Son of Heaven, what a scenery it was. Sycophants and a large amount of gold and silver rolled in, and there were elite soldiers and fierce generals on the side in front of and behind him. But what about yourself?

Although Zhu Ping'an was polite, he was witty and hidden, and the two things of checking the salary and thoroughly investigating the free trade zone, even if he didn't say a word, made Feng Da fall with a full face, and the wolf was unbearable. In this case. Feng Da didn't even touch the skin of the Dengzhou system.

Three months have passed, and Feng Da has done nothing. Shandong has a lot of courtesies, but Zhu Ping'an rarely meets Feng Da, and the supply of Yiying has never been less, in short, he does not give Feng Da the slightest chance.

Just when Feng Da had nothing to do, there was another thing that shook the world. In an instant, the attention of the world was attracted to Tongguan, an important town in the west.

After the martyrdom of Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian, Sun Chuanting took over as the governor of Shaanxi. He Renlong's rebellion was tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, but Emperor Chongzhen had no other choice at this time, so he could only rely on Sun Chuanting to stick to the front line of Tongguan and defend the western barrier for the Beijing Division.

Less than two months. Sun Chuanting was appointed by the imperial court as the military governor of Henan, Sichuan, and Shaanxi provinces, and then was appointed as the secretary of the military department, known as the renaming of the governor, and then was crowned as the military governor of Shanxi, Huguang, Guizhou, and Jiangnan, and the governor of the seven provinces. The only remaining provincial soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were all under his command.

Before, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was beheaded by Chongzhen as a scapegoat because of the exposure of the peace negotiations in the Manchu Dynasty, Zhang Fengxiang took over as the Ministry of War, and persuaded Chongzhen bitterly for this, now these troops are the last belongings of the Ming Dynasty, don't take it lightly out of Tongguan and Li Chuang's decisive battle.

However, Emperor Chongzhen could no longer listen to any objections at this time, and insisted on asking Sun Chuanting to fight a quick battle and make a quick decision, and try his best to stabilize the situation in Shanshan.

As a result, Sun Chuanting had to piece together the soldiers and horses that had been in Tuntian, Shaanxi for most of the past six months, gathered the troops from various provinces, and barely scraped together 80,000 horses to go out of Tongguan to fight a decisive battle with the army. At the same time, he ordered Zuo Liangyu and Qin Yiming, the general soldier of Sichuan, to march westward and fight each other with the main force.

But Zuo Liangyu was firmly dragged by Bai Wang, the general of the breaking army, and Qin Yiming was tired of dealing with Zhang Xianzhong's army and was too busy to take care of himself, so these two reinforcements did not appear at all. Ma Shiying, the new governor of Luzhou and Fengyang, who came from Nanzhili, stopped with 20,000 troops and did not dare to go north.

Sun Chuanting's army met in Jiaxian, Henan Province, Sun Chuanting took Niu Chenghu's department as a bait to introduce the army into an ambush circle, and the ambush soldiers burst out, killing thousands of the army, and pursued all the way for more than 30 miles.

However, the generals of the Ming army were carried away by the victory in front of them, and along the way, they only cared about collecting the baggage and property left by the invading army, but they did not prevent the main force of the invading army from suddenly killing a back horse gun, and for a time, the men and horses of the various departments were chaotic and were defeated lightly, and the Ming army suffered more than 40,000 casualties. After the general soldier Bai Guangen was captured, he surrendered to the enemy, He Renlong personally led his subordinates to chase and kill in the back, and constantly sent messengers to recruit the old department, and all the departments of the Shaanxi army collapsed instantly, and most of them defected to the old lord He Renlong.

The Ming army's material preparation was scarce, and Sun Chuanting's original strategy was to run long distances and fight to support the war, but after the sudden defeat, the army was disheartened, and there was no supply of food and grass, so it could only retreat to the direction of Shaanxi.

But at this time, Li Yan's headquarters of the breaking army traveled more than 200 miles day and night, cutting off the return of the Ming army in one fell swoop and blocking Sun Chuanting in the Nanzhao area. Luo Rucai also killed from Danxia Mountain in a timely manner, and cooperated with Li Yan to resist Sun Chuanting's offpicking, and the main force of the intrusive army also arrived a day later and surrounded Sun Chuanting's troops.

In February of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the Chuang army, which had completed the assembly and rest, launched a general attack on Sun Chuanting's department, and the Ming army was defeated. The whole army was annihilated, and at the last moment, Sun Chuanting reluctantly led his own soldiers to break through, and was caught in the chaos of the army, not knowing life and death.

The defeat of Sun Chuanting's army. Make the door of the pass wide open, there is no opponent who can resist in front of the army, He Renlong led the Shaanxi army to drive straight in, on the second day of the first month of March, the soldiers took the Tongguan without blood. Liu Zongmin led the army to attack Shanxi, and Li Zicheng's main force officially entered the land of Guanzhong, and the troops pointed directly at Xi'an.

By this time, no one doubted the reality that the era of change of dynasty was coming. Faced with this situation, Zhu Ping'an ordered the Shandong Army to immediately enter a state of combat readiness. Yue Jinfeng led 20,000 horses out of Yanzhou. Control zhì daimyo's house. Qiu Ze led the army into Wudingzhou, Zhang Yaoxian's first brigade of the new army was stationed in Jinan, Pei Donglai's second brigade was stationed in Qingzhou, and Cao Bianjiao, Zhang Dingbian and other departments have also assembled in Laizhou. Lu Zhenfei's Huaiyang troops were assembled in Pizhou, while Zhu Ping'an and Lu Xiangsheng personally led 20,000 new troops as the Chinese army, quietly waiting for further information collected by the military intelligence department.

At this time, the Manchu Qing Shengjing was also nervously waiting for the news in the Guannai. The annihilation of Sun Chuanting's entire army meant that the last barrier in the north of the Ming Dynasty had completely collapsed. The behemoth of the Ming Dynasty was about to fall down quickly when he saw it. The Manchu nobles were also nervously looking for the best time to send troops to get the most out of themselves.

But even so. A message that appeared in Shengjing City at this time made people tremble, and they had to move their attention from the Guannai battlefield to the Great Inner Palace.

A few days ago, there began to be rumors in the market, saying that the death of Concubine Chen was a mystery, and Prince Rui Dolgon was the general military power, so he colluded with Concubine Zhuang in the palace, and the two should be together. The design poisoned Concubine Hai Lanzhu. Only then did Huang Taiji return to Beijing, and Dolgon single-handedly led the victory of Matsuyama.

The rumors are colorful, saying that Dolgon and Concubine Zhuang Da Yuer were childhood sweethearts, and after Huang Taiji and other four Baylors forced the eldest concubine Abahai to death, they married Da Yuer into the palace. Therefore, the hatred between Dorgon and Huang Taiji is not compatible.

Huang Taiji used Concubine Zhuang's beauty to lure Hong Chengchou to surrender, and Dolgon was even more annoyed. The private relationship between him and Concubine Zhuang is clear even to the Ming people in the Guannei, otherwise there would not be the Ming officers and soldiers who teased in unison during the Julu War, "Dolgon, Da Yu'er called you home for dinner!" Such a statement.

Such rumors and the hustle and bustle made the gossip fire in the chests of the soldiers and nobles of the Eight Banners in Shengjing burn brightly, and then countless versions were arranged and widely circulated.

"Check! Be sure to check it carefully! "Dolgon's face in the palace was pale, and his little Yu'er had just made a big fuss at home because of rumors about her husband's affair with her sister, and Duoduo and Azig came to the mansion to consult with Dolgon, for the sake of these pervasive messages.

"Brother Fourteen! You're going to have to come up with an idea! Duoduo was anxious for a long time, although he didn't care if his brother had an affair with Concubine Zhuang, but now that the city was full of wind and rain, the pressure on the two white flags was increasing day by day.

"Who else?" As soon as Dolgon shook his hand, a delicate golden cup was thrown onto the wall, changing shape in an instant, "This is all the handiwork of Zhu Ping'an's house, who else can shout such words except him!" ”

Dolgon couldn't figure out if he had dug up Zhu Ping'an's ancestral grave in his previous life, and how could he be so entangled with himself like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and his ghost would not go away.

"Fourteenth brother!" Azig said worriedly: "The movement in the palace is also very wrong, my Fujin has entered the palace many times, but they have been blocked back, the people in the palace say that Concubine Zhuang is not happy these days, and the fourth child specially issued an order to let her recuperate in Yongfu Palace, and no idle people are allowed to disturb, do you see this ......?" ”

Dolgon's two sword eyebrows frowned tightly, pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "It's not a way to wait like this, we can't wait for the fourth child's butcher's knife to fall, you guys do your best to marry and arrange the people in the palace, tonight, no matter what, I have to go to the palace!" ”

"Brother!" "Fourteenth brother!"

"No need to persuade again, there are some things I must ask Yu'er in person!" (To be continued......)
