Chapter 134: Beautiful Mistakes
Cao Huachun's senses for Chen Xie are not bad, unlike the eunuchs in the TV series, who like to put on a show. At least here in Chen Xie, Cao Huachun didn't put up any big eunuch shelves. After watching the exercise, Cao Huachun seemed to be preoccupied and kept his head down. Chen Xie didn't say much when he saw this, and accompanied him carefully. The eunuchs' personalities are a little weird, but they don't dare to offend him because of carelessness. Since he was fooled by Yuan Chonghuan, Chen Xie knew that Chongzhen began to reactivate the eunuchs.
As for Yuan Chonghuan, Chen Xie doesn't have a good impression of him anyway. Don't look at Huang Taiji's invasion from the front line of Jizhou, the main responsibility is Liu Ce's. In terms of position, Yuan Chonghuan is the Jiliao Governor, and his responsibilities are not light. This guy asked for a bunch of conditions, but he ended up in such a bad situation, he didn't want to fight and retreated from the Jin soldiers, and he also planned to engage in the skillful tactics of waiting for the enemy to fight under the fortified city, he was really looking for his own death. From the beginning of the wanton killing of Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan embarked on the road of death, although he was not a traitor, but on the issue of Mao Wenlong, he played a practical role as a traitor. This person is self-righteous, thinking that killing Mao Wenlong can rectify Dongjiang Town, but he doesn't know that even if he is given a full five years, he may not be able to master Dongjiang Town and achieve the strategic containment effect of Mao Wenlong's period. All in all, it is not a pity to die, and it also spoils the Ming Dynasty's strategy for Houjin. Objectively, it led to the formation of the later warlords of Liaodong. It also led to a decline in mutual trust between Chongzhen and Wenchen. It can be said that this bastard has caused bad consequences, Zhu Youzhen has done a lot of bastard things, but there is no problem at all in killing Yuan Chonghuan. His question is. didn't find a chance to take the absolute control of Guan Ningjun.
Cao Huachun, who was preoccupied, finally sighed faintly, and didn't know why, so he said to Chen Xie: "The state affairs are difficult!" ”
When a eunuch came out with this kind of affection, Chen Xie felt very painful. He accepted Qian Qianyi's silver from him to excuse Qian, and Chen Xie didn't think that this product could be noble. The future of eunuchs lies in the emperor, but there is no problem.
Cao Huachun, who was "worried about national affairs", had to go back without lunch, and Chen Xie couldn't keep it. A generous gift has been prepared. A luxury version of a four-wheeled carriage. Originally, Chen Xie was sitting on his own to support the scene, but now he took it out. A gift list, quietly handed over, Cao Huachun looked at Chen Xie. He didn't hesitate to go into the sleeve. smiled: "Sihua." What's so embarrassing about that? ”
When the male duck speaks in a friendly tone, he listens to the tightness of the meat. Chen Xie smiled and said: "My father-in-law works hard for the country, which is a little meaning." Not a tribute. If you are empty, your father-in-law will go to Dengzhou, and Chen Xie will definitely do his best to be a landlord. ”
Is it a small meaning, Chen Xie said it doesn't matter, Cao Huachun has to be satisfied. In order to prevent this eunuch from mentioning anything like Chen Someone's private training elite and ill-intentioned intentions when he reported, Chen Xie still smashed 30,000 taels of silver hard. Other things, such as various daily chemicals, mirrors, table clocks, and thermoses, were rare items in the Ming Dynasty, and they were all bargains in Chen Xie's heart.
Sitting in the carriage, which ran much more smoothly, Cao Huachun opened the gift list, and the first item made his eyes narrow. 30,000 taels of silver, this Chen Sihua is willing to do it. If you don't want to be an official or something like that, it seems that you must be fooling. How can there be such a good person in this world? No matter how much money he had, he would not give it to himself in vain. Judging by the meaning, he still wants to be an official. Didn't you show the fox's tail in the end? The friendship of the landlords in Dengzhou, seeing this, means that they don't want to leave Dengzhou, and they want to be officials.
This thing is not difficult to do, with such a great contribution, how can it be interesting to live the lord? I will say two good words when I go back, and I dare not say anything else, for the sake of silver, a guerrilla general of the Dengzhou battalion can still help with it.
This thing is really not what Cao Huachun thought, there are three reasons why Chen Xie sent so much silver, one is a weak heart. A regimental training, so many artillery, and the scale is not small, this thing is very old. This is Chen Xie's private soldier, and it is not normal to be weak-minded, after all, he is not a military attaché. The second is subjective deviation, thinking that it is really impossible to curry favor with a big eunuch like Cao Huachun without tens of thousands of taels of silver. As everyone knows, Qian Qianyi wanted to be the champion at the beginning, so he bribed 20,000 taels, although he was smashed by others later, it can be seen that the market itself is not as exaggerated as Chen Xie thought. The third is that Chen Xie does not have a clear understanding of the purchasing power of silver. In this way, the little maids who have been trained in the hands of Renyazi are more than a dozen silver. Buying it back is private property. The red people on the Qinhuai River, if they don't stay overnight, drink tea and listen to music, etc., it is a matter of more than ten or twenty taels of silver.
It is normal for Cao Huachun to have a misunderstanding, a guerrilla general is not worth 30,000 taels of silver, aren't people still worried about progress? It's okay to make up for it slowly in the future, but why do you have to give a guerrilla general a starting price? If it doesn't work, just give a knighthood or something, the kind that can be hereditary. In short, help say good things, Cao Huachun is also worried about national events, but compared to the silver in hand, it is still secondary. Daming, isn't this time for the storm?
All in all, it's a beautiful misunderstanding. Training private soldiers or something, in Cao Huachun's mind, is really not a big sin. On this Chinese New Year's Eve, rich and big households, raising thugs is a common thing, and running a group training is also under the leadership of the government. He didn't think about anything else, and he didn't think that two or three thousand people would be able to make big waves. Not to mention, isn't Chen Xie working hard for Daming? Things are so coincidental, so confused, Chen Xie didn't expect that his future had come out.
Qin Liangyu returned to Beijing, and Zhu Youzhen summoned him again and carefully inquired about the battle process. Qin Liangyu didn't hide too much, and of course he didn't tell the truth. The casualties of Chen Xie's subordinates are still exaggerated. The focus was on the fact that someone stopped the army from pursuing, and the guide let Jiannu go.
Zhu Youzhen didn't understand military affairs, so he naturally believed Qin Liangyu's words. Especially when the Ministry of War checked that all of them were the heads of the real Jiannu, they were even more excited. The Guangning army spends millions of taels of silver every year, and seventy percent of the Ming military expenses are smashed into it, and I don't see any more beheadings than this time, which is still done by the two small troops of Chen Xie and Qin Liangyu.
Immediately instructed the military department to discuss the matter of reward. When Qin Liangyu was leaving, Zhu Youzhen took off his cloak and carefully put it on Qin Liangyu and said, "The weather is cold, the general is a southerner, be careful not to get cold." After saying this, Qin Liangyu knelt down at the time he said, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to repay, but if there is an order, the white pole soldiers are willing to fight for Your Majesty to the last person!" ”
Zhu Youzhen was also very moved, everyone said it well, and no one really beat it. Only Qin Liangyu and Chen Xie, the two "fools", went. It's really a big win for them. How do you say that? It's not that the Ming army can't fight, but whether there is the determination to fight to the end, just look at Qin Liangyu, the courage to fight to the last person.
"Take care of the general, in the future, the Ming Dynasty will still need the general's bravery. I can't wait for this Ming officer and soldier to be like a general. This is very serious, Qin Liangyu, who was already dead and loyal to the end, was even more eager to die for the emperor immediately. It's a pity that the order of the military department came down quickly, and after the follow-up of more than 10,000 people of the white pole soldiers arrived, they stayed in the Beijing division.
On the eighth day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, the city of Qian'an was broken. The tide of the Houjin army entered the city, and another hell on earth was born. Huang Taiji, who is moving eastward, is not as high-spirited as he seems on the surface. Two pieces of bad news cast a shadow over his good mood. One is the news reported by Duoduo a few days ago, a Ming army dominated by muskets defeated a Niu Lu and lost more than 100 Houjin warriors. Another piece of bad news, come to pride. A red flag was inlaid with a Jiala, and he encountered a Ming army of equal numbers, and was defeated miserably. Hauge didn't have to cover up for Yueto, so he was telling the truth.
Adding up, these are two Niu Lu folded in, to say that Huang Taiji is not distressed, it is all fake. How many cattle are there in Houjin? After only two battles, the losses were so great. And judging from the reports on both sides, it was the same Ming army that was encountered. Where did this Ming army come from? Dressed in green, he had no armor and spears, and there were few war horses. With firearms, the Houjin Warriors were defeated and returned, but when Hauge reported this matter, no one believed it. Huang Taiji also said that it was ridiculous, but in his heart he believed it. The Ming Dynasty has a lot of land and talents, who knows where a difficult character will emerge?
No, there is a difficult character in front of him, this person is called Sun Chengzong. If there were a few people in the Ming Dynasty who gave Huang Taiji a headache, then the answer was two. Sun Chengzong, who is waiting for a day trip along the Shanhai Pass, is counted as one, and Mao Wenlong, who once entrenched in Phi Island and goes to Houjin for a day trip if he has nothing to do, is counted as half. The other half is Yuan Chonghuan, this guy is very good at defense.
After moving to An, Huang Taiji's room for maneuver has greatly increased. Otherwise, in such a big place, several cities echo each other, which is really annoying. Houjin came to rob things, and with a large number of looted materials and people, he couldn't go fast at all. These cities have no other skills, and it is certainly not difficult to send out to fight the small force of France.
In fact, Huang Taiji is still afraid of this, but unfortunately, Ma Shilong of Jizhou can't command anyone now, and he is desperate to shrink in the city as a turtle, but he has 5,000 Guanning cavalry in his hands. If you really want to sprinkle it out, Huang Taiji doesn't dare to be careless. Fortunately, he didn't come out, and only a small number of troops needed to monitor him.
After conquering Qian'an, Huang Taiji ordered the division of troops, one to take Luanzhou, and the other to continue to take Funing. The continuous siege of the city was the time when the momentum of the Houjin army was at its peak. (To be continued......)
