"Two brothers, do you remember what I said at the beginning, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, the Ming and the Dashun are at war, the Manchu Qing will definitely participate, maybe at this time the Manchu army is already eager to try, ready to enter the pass!"

Sun Cheng and 6 Yong frowned, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but say, "Fourth, what you said is good, but do we have the ability to turn the situation around?" ”

Gu Zhenhua shook his head: "It's true that there is no now, but it doesn't mean that we won't have it in the future!" The two elder brothers, to tell the truth, insisted on getting silver and weapons from the capital, so that one day the Manchu Qing Dynasty would enter the customs and be able to pull up a team and fight them to the end. Think about how many women were snatched away on the first night when Meng Yuan was in the Central Plains, and as a result, the children born from the first child had to fall to death, how tragic it was! Hongwu Taizu raised troops to destroy the Yuan Dynasty and restore Huaxia, less than 300 years, do you want to let such a tragedy repeat? ”

Gu Zhenhua talked about the grief and indignation, his fists clenched and jumped, the real cruel history was in front of him, and the more he knew, the more painful he became.

"Fourth, there are some big truths that my brothers don't understand, but I believe you! If you have any commands, just say them. ”

6 Yong also nodded: "What the eldest brother said is right, although we have not been worshipping for a long time, but we have a heart-to-heart relationship, the second brother listens to you!" ”

Gu Zhenhua nodded: "Two brothers, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is going to fight in the short term, Li Zicheng definitely doesn't have time to calm the place, so you will take the soldiers to hide in the mountains to recuperate." Then wait for the opportunity to snatch away the gold and silver transferred by those nobles, and get as much as possible, which is the capital of starting a business in the future. How much wealth has been hoarded by the magnates of the capital over the past few hundred years, and we have to use this money to the best of our ability! ”

"Well said!" Sun Cheng said with a smile: "That old guy Zhu Chunchen shipped out more than two million taels, we haven't taken it yet, and the other nobles also have a lot of wealth, and we also have an account in our hearts, it's a big deal to loot one by one Zhuangzi, and guarantee that they will be squeezed out." ”

The two of them were full of confidence, Gu Zhenhua was also excited, and said with a smile: "I will send the prince to a safe place for the time being, and then turn back as much as I can, and search with the two elder brothers." ”

"Fourth, which way are you going to go?"

"Tianjin." Gu Zhenhua said without hesitation: "Although the risk at sea is large, as long as you find a few big ships, it is still relatively safe, either in Shandong, or on the coast of Nanzhili (about equivalent to Jiangsu)6, you can definitely avoid the inspection of the Dashun army." ”

After the three of them discussed, Gu Zhenhua returned to the temporary conference room again, and the following is the specific assignment of four teams.

Compared with the overall plan, how to allocate personnel is more difficult, after all, this team is improvised, and the personnel are complex. Gu Zhenhua personally sits in charge, and may be able to ensure loyalty, but once separated, most of the problems will occur, so how to arrange personnel and how to check and balance each other makes Gu Zhenhua think hard.

Xu Fang escorted his family members from the canal to the south, and most of the people assigned to him were palace guards. The family members are mainly from the guards of the Guogong Mansion, and they are not familiar with each other, so the possibility of collusion is avoided. Otherwise, the guards and their families will be arranged together, and they may not escape with their families, or tell the truth, and then the whole plan will be over. And this arrangement can also weaken the power of the prince to the greatest extent, so that Zhu Cihong obediently becomes a puppet.

And those guards were all left to Sun Cheng and 6 Yong, who were familiar with each other and obeyed the command. And since their families are going south, they are actually a kind of hostage, so there is no need to worry about these people disobeying orders. In addition, Gu Zhenhua left Xie Bin to Sun Cheng and them to make up for the lack of command.

Gu Zhenhua was with Gao Hongtu, mainly with soldiers from the Beijing camp, specifically to protect the prince from going south. Gao Hongtu is the strongest command among all of them, and only by keeping it by his side can Gu Zhenhua rest assured.

After some complicated distribution, the loyalty of each team can be basically guaranteed, and as for the rest, it depends on the will of God, Gu Zhenhua invited He Zhonghou to the back.

"Zhenhua, everyone has assigned people, I thought you forgot about me?"

"Haha, how can you, the general will be held back. Sixth uncle, your burden is not light. Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "I have already told the two elder brothers, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is very likely to take advantage of the chaos to enter the customs." So the land and the silver were just a thought to calm people's hearts. When the situation is chaotic, these people will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, how can they be a rich man. ”

When He Zhonghou heard this, his face immediately changed: "Zhenhua, you mean you're lying to everyone?" ”

"The shape is stronger than people, Sixth Uncle, if it is really according to my estimate, we will pull up the banner and fight against the Manchus. All the antiques, calligraphy and paintings you brought to Jiangnan should be sold and exchanged for silver and grain, and those lands should also be sold. ”

"Zhenhua, without land, can those soldiers still be obedient?"

"Sixth uncle, in the troubled times, with a fist, are you still worried about having no land?"

He Zhonghou was stunned for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "I understand, I understand, you kid is just painting cakes to satisfy hunger." ”

The old man thought about it again, and then said, "Zhenhua, since this north is going to be chaotic, what should you do with those gold and silver treasures?" ”

"Sixth uncle, I want to keep a big brother and them first, and transport them to the south in batches, and I will follow them with my own light car, and I will not escape with the prince's strength."

"No!" He Zhonghou waved his hand: "We have more than one million taels of gold and silver in our hands, which is not a small amount. Leaving it to Sun Cheng will only drag people down, in case Li Zicheng finds it down, it is not to run, and it is not to run. ”

"Sixth uncle, do you always have an idea?"

He Zhonghou smiled and nodded: "It's not an idea, just give the silver to Shanxi's ticket number." ”

"Do they dare to eat it?"

"Hehe, these old Xi'er are as bold as a nest melon, they don't dare to make any money, but they just hand it over to them, and if they are scraped away, they will be given 300,000 taels for one million taels, which is not a small amount!"

Gu Zhenhua had long heard of the name of the Jin merchants, and the eight imperial merchants sold military supplies to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to make huge profits, which can be called a big promoter of the fall of the Ming Dynasty!

Now when they heard He Zhonghou's words, these people seemed to be more greedy and bold than they imagined. However, the more greedy they are, the easier it is to take advantage of them, and Gu Zhenhua already has a plan.

"Sixth uncle, give them the money, don't say thirty percent, even half of it, sooner or later I will let them swallow it, and then spit it out!"

As soon as all the arrangements were made, Gu Zhenhua and the others immediately took action, and all the people from all four roads were selected. Gu Zhenhua arched his hand at a few people at the entrance of the village: "Everyone cherishes, there will be a period later!" ”

"There will be a date later!"

After saying a word, everyone's eyes were a little sour, and tears were rolling back and forth. In the middle of the night, he slapped the war horse fiercely and left one after another.

Sun Cheng and the others took people into the mountains, while Xu Fang went to Xianghe first, and then took his family members who had left the city earlier and went south along the canal. As for He Zhonghou, he chose Route 6, went south to Henan, and then went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Gu Zhenhua led the people and horses, protecting the prince Zhu Cihong all the way to the east, straight to the Tianjin wharf, from Shunyi, through Sanhe, Yutian, ran out for more than two days in a row, everyone was exhausted, the old eunuch Kou Gui was almost upside down, the prince's inner thighs were bloodstained, and even the wounds on Gu Zhenhua's body were faintly painful.

But everyone is still gritting their teeth and holding on, and in two days, they will be able to rush to Tianjin, and as long as they get on the boat, they will have a way to live. Everyone secretly warned themselves, and just when everyone was resting and eating dry food, suddenly a scout crawled over with a rolling belt and said in horror: "My lord, something is wrong!" ”

"What's the matter, is it a thief?" When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he suddenly stood up and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"No, thieves, but there is a huge army in front of us, tens of thousands of people, overwhelming, with a Wu character written on the banner."

Wu!

Gu Zhenhua's brain was spinning rapidly, tens of thousands of people, still surnamed Wu? That can only be the Guan Ning Army of the big traitor Wu Sangui! He's not in Shanhaiguan, how did he get here? Could it be that the Qing soldiers entered the customs ahead of schedule?

Gu Zhenhua's mind instantly messed up: "Are you right?" ”

"It's not wrong, they've sealed off the way forward, you should have made a decision early!"

Hearing the scout's report, Kou Gui also walked over tremblingly, and said with a change of face: "Lord Gu, Wu Sangui, this guy has probably surrendered to Dashun, long live to recruit him King Qin, and he will shirk it in every possible way." From our point of view, it's better to get out of the way quickly, the farther away the better! ”

Gao Hongtu also said: "That's right, Wu Sangui is definitely not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he must not fall into his hands." ”

Gu Zhenhua narrowed his eyes, his brain spun quickly, and he said for a while: "Two, Tianjin is the only way out, now that the road is blocked, there is no escape, I think it is better to meet Wu Sangui for a while!" ”

Gu Zhenhua's decision was completely unexpected, and Kou Gui asked in surprise: "Lord Gu, are you looking for death, don't hurt the prince!" ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "If you put it to death and live later, maybe the way to life is on Wu Sangui's body!" ”
