Chapter 393: Taiyuan Undercurrent
"It's time to eat!"
With a crisp shout, the two maids of Luzhu and Hongyu led the way, and more than a dozen maids followed, each of them held a tray in their hands, and there were bowls of Lantern Festival in it, the fragrance was wafting, the heat was bubbling, everyone was smiling, and the bowls of Lantern Festival were sent to everyone present.
Gu Zhenhua was naturally the first, followed by Mei Junruo, and other female dependents. On the other side, He Zhonghou, Wu Youke, Li Jibo and several other old people were also sitting, and they took the Lantern Festival with smiles.
He Zhonghou's old face smiled like a flower, picked up the bowl, scooped up a Lantern Festival, took a bite, and the sweet sesame seeds flowed into his mouth, hot and fragrant.
The old man couldn't help but sigh: "Zhenhua, it really sounds like a dream, it's only been a long time, you have been crowned the prince, and you are a very good minister." We people also followed the chicken dog to heaven, it's really unthinkable, unthinkable! ”
Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "What is the prince who is not the prince, that is just the decoration of clothes, shoes and hats." You are still my benefactor elder, Mr. Li is still my teacher, as for Mr. Wu, it is even more amazing, the safety of our family is in his hands! ”
Li Jibo smiled and said, "Lord Wang, have you heard that there is another name for the Lantern Festival?" ”
Zhang Xianyun hurriedly said: "I know, it's called Tangyuan!" ”
As soon as she said this, Liu Ru next to her couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"Sister Liu, what are you laughing at, am I not right?"
"Yes, how dare I say it's wrong. It's just that Mr. Li has such a big knowledge, how can the answer be so simple! ”
Li Jibo scooped up a Lantern Festival. Said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it is said that the king of Chu once asked the sage of Confucius for advice, and the sage said that this white ball is called the floating and sinking fruit, the ups and downs of the world, the rise and fall of the society, and if you eat this qiē in your stomach, you can make the country and the people safe!" ”
Li Jibo said, swallowing the Lantern Festival into his stomach in one bite.
No one else could hear what he meant. Where can Gu Zhenhua not understand, there are floats and sunks, the Ming Dynasty has sunk, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also about to rise, someone should always float!
"Mr. Li, how do you say that the country and the people can be safe?"
Li Jibo said with a smile: "The rewards and punishments are clear, and the laws and regulations are strict. If there is this sub-division, the overall situation should be decided. The princess, the civil and military officials, the prince, you should also come up with a set of strategies. It is easier to follow the Ming system, but depending on the meaning of the prince, it seems that he is not ready to adopt the Ming system. Tens of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. There should always be a rule! ”
He Zhonghou frowned: "Lao Li, isn't it a little early, Shanxi is still fighting, burn your eyebrows and look at your eyes!" ”
"Hahaha, Shanxi won't be big for long. In the cold winter, we don't want to fight. Dolgon may not dare to fight. It is best for the prince to formulate the family and country system before the decisive battle, and the soldiers should serve the country wholeheartedly! ”
Gu Zhenhua listened to Li Jibo's words, and nodded frequently.
This old Li Tou's vision is indeed vicious, the security ** system founded by Gu Zhenhua is dressed in the coat of the Ming Dynasty, but the inside has taken a lot of practices from later generations, the old and new official systems are different after all, and it is time to sort it out.
"Mr. Li, since you put it forward, I'm afraid you will have to work hard, let's eat Lantern Festival first, and from tomorrow, we will come up with a new strategy!"
……
On the thirteenth day of the first month, the state Tartars were invited to surrender.
On the eighteenth day of the first month, the sun is high, and Lingqiu returns.
On the twenty-third day of the first month, Li Xu led An ** to approach Xuanfu, and the soldiers pointed out, and then the capital was forward. For a time, the capital shook, and the Tartars were panicked.
At the same time, the main force of An ** stationed in Henan, under the leadership of Guo Yunlong and 6 Yong, assembled in the direction of the Daimyofu. They are swaggering and swaggering. There are more than 20,000 elites, all of whom are ready to go out together.
In the direction of Shaanxi, Sun Cheng also led his men and horses into Shanxi again. In addition, Weng Zhiqi also led 10,000 soldiers out of Xuzhou and attacked Shandong.
It can be said that the whole of North China is a beacon fire, except for Datong, the battles in other places are not fierce, and the scale is not large, but it is like countless small hands, stretching out the itch of the turbulent Tartar, and every stroke touches the heartstrings of the Tartar.
……
Outside the city of Taiyuan, in the camp of Dolgon.
"Regent, this is a secret letter sent by the Queen Mother, please take a look!"
When the old "qingren" came, Dolgon's eyebrows were raised, and he didn't take it, but said lazily: "If you ask for help, I won't look at it!" ”
Fan Wencheng, who was accompanying him, owed a debt and said: "Regent, the old minister thinks that An ** is moving strangely, and it seems that he should take action and deal with it properly." ”
"Master Fan, what do you think should be done?"
"The old minister thought that he could send Shuo Sai to lead 10,000 horses back to ensure the safety of the capital, and then choose the opportunity to eliminate Datong's security. Gu Zhenhua's attack on Datong is tantamount to inserting a knife in our back, with sinister intentions, like a fish in the throat, we can't help but get rid of it! ”
Dolgon was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed, he suddenly stood up from his seat, up and down, full of strong fighting spirit, and in an instant, the leader of the troops entered the customs, and the high-spirited Dolgon returned.
"Master Fan, don't you know, Gu Zhenhua is arranging troops like this, in fact, it is all bluffing and covering people's eyes, in order to let this king divide his troops!"
"Oh!" Fan Wencheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please give me advice!" ”
"Hahaha, Gu Zhenhua is a very smart and conceited person. Judging from his actions, most of them are planning a decisive battle with me and driving us out of the border in one fell swoop. However, he was very despicable and instigated Geng Zhongming to rebel, just to weaken the Eight Banners and win the first opportunity in a decisive battle! ”
Fan Wencheng lowered his head and thought about it, and couldn't help nodding and said: "The prince has seen thousands of miles, his approach is indeed despicable, but the old minister is worried about people's hearts and has to guard against it!" ”
Dorgon suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. Extraordinarily rampant: "Master Fan, I sue you." Gu Zhenhua wants to play a conspiracy with me, he is too far away, within three days, this king will have a way to take Geng Zhongming's head, just look at it! ”
Listening to Dolgon's words, Fan Wencheng was also suddenly taken aback, it seems that the regent still has a backhand, it is really amazing! What especially pleased Fan Wencheng was that Dolgon had not lost his fighting spirit. As long as that's the case, there's still something to be done!
……
After months of hard fighting, the city head has long been dilapidated, and the city walls are mottled with scars everywhere. In order to prevent the city wall from being blasted open, Geng Zhongming had already ordered to pour water on the city wall and freeze it into an ice city. Look around. There were corpses inside and outside the city that had not had time to be cleaned up, and they were all frozen into ice cubes.
The city had eaten up all the horses these days, and the soldiers who had died in battle, and the people who had starved to death, had all become new rations. The number of people in the city is decreasing, and the living are becoming less and less like individuals. Gradually became a group of walking dead!
"Dad, this is the millet that the child found in a cellar, and cooked a pot of thick millet porridge, you drink it first!"
Geng Zhongming took the porridge bowl, and suddenly two cloudy tears fell. "Son, today is the Lantern Festival!"
Geng Jumao wiped his tears. nodded: "That's right, Dad, the child is not filial, there is no Lantern Festival in the city, there is no Lantern Festival." ”
"Hey, Daddy is not too young to care, and he doesn't care about that bite. The top priority at the moment is to save your head, otherwise you won't be able to eat anything. Let me ask you, has Ann ** moved? ”
"Yes!"
Geng Jumao said affirmatively: "Dad, I just received a flying pigeon message, and I heard that An ** attacked Datong and was occupied by the northern part of Jin. ”
"Yes, yes! Datong is important, for many years, the Mongols have invaded the capital from here, and after taking Datong, they put the knife against Dolgon's heart, I think he has to save it, and the courage on our shoulders is finally a lot lighter! ”
Geng Jumao was still a little unwilling, and said angrily: "Dad, Gu Zhenhua clearly regarded us as stepmothers, since he has troops, why don't you directly rescue Taiyuan, isn't this taking off your pants and farting!" ”
Geng Zhongming sighed, and said with a meaningful wry smile: "The stepmother is also a mother, it's better than the Tartar!" Hurry up and tell the news of An**'s dispatch to the bottom, let the brothers cheer up, let's get out soon! ”
Geng Jumao nodded and hurriedly went down to convey the good news. Geng's father and son didn't know that a huge storm was brewing in the city at this time.
There is a huge courtyard in the west city, which was originally the residence of a salt merchant, and the building is particularly exquisite and magnificent, and it is full of ingenuity. However, it was occupied by a group of Qiu Ba, and it definitely didn't end well. The mahogany window lattices were torn off, the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities in the room were casually thrown into the fire, and the large bed of Nanmu was used as chopping wood. After it was burned, the strong pungent aroma made a bunch of Qiu Bazhi sneeze.
"Damn, these rich people won't enjoy it, who can stand such a big smell!"
"Fourth brother, don't complain, if you have a breath, if you have some food, God will pity us!"
"Brothers, here comes the food!"
While he was talking, Zhang Wei led several soldiers to run over, all of them carrying large pieces of meat on their shoulders. The war horses have been killed and eaten, and they look like human flesh, but these people can't care about it.
Put the pieces of meat in the pot, and it won't be long enough; The aroma wafted out, and some of them were so hungry that they couldn't stand it that they had already reached out to grab it, and threw the meat in their mouths, and they didn't have time to chew it, so they swallowed it in two bites.
"Brother Zhang, why is this meat so fragrant?"
"Hmph, everything smells good when you're hungry!" Zhang Wei arched his hand at everyone: "Brothers, these days, we are not ghosts, I'm afraid the big guys have forgotten, today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, and the day of family reunion!" ”
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent, some tears in the corners of their eyes, and some clenched them all with a loud bang.
Zhang Wei said sharply: "Brothers, if we continue like this, we will definitely be dead, I want to fight hard, I don't know if the big guy is willing?" ”
"Willing, willing, Brother Zhang, what do you say, let's all follow you, everyone has had enough of this ghost life!"
