Chapter 34 Encounter the Strange Case Again Thirty-four

After seeing this legendary old lady, Qin Tai found that the old lady did not look old at all. The old lady in her sixties is not only blinded or deaf, but also her eyes are bright. Qin Tai did not hide his identity, and after giving the old lady a big gift, he told his identity and intention. But the gold medal was not shown, for an old man, an old man who Qin Tai respected, Qin Tai was reluctant to let the old lady kneel to him.

The old lady looked at Qin Tai, and there were no good words for a long time. The old lady didn't believe Qin Tai's words, but believed in Qin Tai's words very much. Qin Tai's bearing and righteousness made the old lady seem to see the old lady again. Compared with the old lady, Qin Tai has more negotiation and majesty, and less domineering and toughness. But the old lady felt that Qin Tai was better than her old lady, and it was simply a great weapon that God had rewarded the mortal world. This disaster can only be resolved by a person like Qin Tai, who is full of righteousness.

The old lady invited Qin Tai to sit down and drink tea, and at the same time ordered Xu Lao to go to the former military governor's mansion to ask the metropolitan governor to come home once. Just when Xu Lao went to call the Grand Governor, the old lady told Qin Tai a secret, a secret that outsiders could not know. It turned out that the Xu family and the royal family had an agreement, a very serious agreement. At the beginning, the orthodox emperor wanted to drive the imperial expedition in person, and the Xu family raised objections many times. The orthodox emperor not only did not listen, but also ordered to reprimand the Xu family, saying that the Xu family had no Xu Da's ability and no Xu Da's courage. After the Battle of Tumubao, the capital was in danger, and the governor of the Xu family at that time did not dare to disobey the order of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, to leave Nanjing, but he still sent his cronies to Qinwang with a large army. After Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, he returned part of the military power to the Xu family, the purpose of which was to ask the Xu family to support Emperor Jingtai. At that time, the life and death of the orthodox emperor in Wara were unknown, and Emperor Jingtai was the younger brother of the orthodox emperor, and he could be regarded as the orthodox royal family, so the Xu family agreed. Later, when the orthodox emperor returned, Emperor Jingtai was unwilling to return the throne to his brother, and even wanted to kill this brother. The Xu family and several old ministers jointly wrote a letter to warn Emperor Jingtai not to harm the emperor, which saved the life of the orthodox emperor. When the orthodox emperor was imprisoned in Nangong by his younger brother Emperor Jingtai, the Xu family also interceded for him in many places. After the orthodox emperor was reinstated, he secretly signed a secret agreement with the Xu family, as long as the Zhu family reigned for one day, the former military governor would be the Xu family. However, the Xu family could not meddle in the affairs of the imperial family, and the governor of the capital could not leave the southern capital.

Qin Tai had a headache for this information. In this way, even if the Metropolitan Governor wanted to help himself, he could not do it blatantly. The governor of the capital can't go out of the south, and his orders can't be made public, so what's the difference between not helping and not helping?

The old lady also saw Qin Tai's worries, and she gave Qin Tai an idea, a good idea and good for you. After Qin Tai heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that the old lady had introduced Qin Tai to someone, a person who would come back with her son Dadu Governor later. This person's position is not high, and he is not an official here, he is just a commander of Yunzhou in Yunnan. In the Ming Dynasty, the generals are no longer valuable, and most of the generals are hereditary and do not have much combat effectiveness. Even if there are a few who can fight, they will not be reused for various reasons. The commander is smaller than the garrison, a little larger than the general Qianzong, and belongs to the six-rank generals. In the case that the combat effectiveness of the Ming soldiers is relatively not strong, and the number of people is less than 10,000, there is basically no climate. A six-rank general, not to mention a big official, even a casual seven-rank magistrate dares to point fingers at him. But this commander is different, because his soldiers are different, and he himself is even more unusual. Yunzhou is located in the western part of Yunnan, almost handover with Myanmar, but the relationship between Myanmar and the Ming Dynasty is not good, and they often use the excuse to make trouble. Therefore, in order not to be bullied, the Yunzhou Guard Station was not only full, but also improved its combat effectiveness and equipment. Historically, the commanders of Yunzhou have all been ruthless characters, and almost all of them are wicked people who kill people without blinking. And this commander is the villain among the wicked, and he is a super devil in the history of the Ming army.

Although the old lady did not say the name of this commander, Qin Tai felt that this commander must not be simple. A small commander, and the other is the governor of the capital who has lived in the south for a long time, how can they know each other? If the Xu family arranged cronies in other places, they would not be exposed to everyone so easily. Could it be that this commander is a relative of the Xu family? Or is it also the descendant of some family?

After the Metropolitan Governor came, as soon as they introduced each other, Qin Tai knew that this commander was very good. This commander's name is Chang Yuehua, although he is not very old, he is already majestic. Judging from his appearance, the Metropolitan Governor is a bit polite, and Chang Yuehua is more like a martial artist. No, Qin Tai felt that this Chang Yuehua was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Qin Tai immediately remembered this familiar figure and was immediately taken aback. No wonder Qin Tai felt a little familiar, it turned out that Chang Yuehua was the descendant of Chang Yuchun, the founder of the country.

Speaking of this frequent spring, Zhu Yuanzhang is particularly sad and reluctant. Later generations once compared Chang Yuchun's loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang to the "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui in "Water Margin", who was so foolish and loyal to his eldest brother "Timely Rain" Song Jiang. Zhu Yuanzhang also admitted that Chang Yuchun is his most reassuring little brother, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Chang Yuchun will not hesitate to carry it out. If it weren't for the fact that Chang Yuchun was not as wise as Xu Da, the first hero of the Ming Dynasty would be Chang Yuchun. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, some villains took advantage of Zhu Yuanzhang's distrust of his subordinates to collect so-called evidence everywhere. Zhu Yuanzhang killed some people and wronged some people, but when someone used Chang Yuchun to say something, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. Zhu Yuanzhang not only killed these informers, but also told everyone that Chang Yuchun was his dearest brother, except for his wife Chang Yuchun was the person he trusted the most. When Chang Yuchun fell ill at the age of forty, Zhu Yuanzhang stayed by Chang Yuchun's side almost every day, and after Chang Yuchun's death, Zhu Yuanzhang cried and fainted several times. is also because of Chang Yuchun, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is very bad to the Chang family, and even almost destroyed the bloodline of the Chang family. The reason is that Chang Yuchun's daughter is the wife of Zhu Biao, the first prince of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the biological mother of Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was worried that the Chang family secretly helped Emperor Jianwen to restore the throne, and he was even more worried about the Chang family's power in the army, so Ming Chengzu Zhu Di once ordered the secret execution of the Chang family. Later, this matter was blocked by Queen Xu for many reasons. First, the Xu family and the Chang family both fought for Zhu Yuanzhang, and in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China or even earlier, the relationship between the two families was very good. Second, Chang and Queen Xu have been good sisters since childhood, and later they were two concubines. Empress Xu didn't want her husband to kill the Chang family. Third, if the Chang family is destroyed, the next Zhu Di to deal with is the Xu family. For the sake of the Xu family, for the sake of her mother's family, Queen Xu also has to keep the Chang family. Fourth, the Chang family once saved Queen Xu's three children. When Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was worried that his nephew Emperor Jianwen would poison him, so he returned to the fiefdom first. Zhu Di's three sons stayed in the capital and almost became hostages. But no one dared to help these three children, only Chang Yuchun's youngest son, that is, Emperor Jianwen's little uncle, couldn't stand it anymore and took the children to live in his own house. It is because of this that Queen Xu's three children were not secretly poisoned. In order to repay the favor, Queen Xu also wants to save the Chang family.

Although the Chang family was preserved by Queen Xu, their status was gone. Zhu Di took the Chang family's bewitchment of Emperor Jianwen to reuse Wenchen and persecute the royal family, and cut off the title of Chang Jiaguo. The hereditary reckless prince who Chang Yuchun exchanged for his war achievements was deprived of the wealth left to future generations. The Chang family had to move out, and finally settled in Yunnan, but they didn't expect to become a military household. Because the Chang family has no status and power, they are not being monitored. After the Chang family settled down, he often wrote letters or came to visit the descendants of the Xu family in person. The descendants of the Xu family also told the descendants of the Chang family about the kung fu and military knowledge left by their ancestors. Chang Yuehua grew up next to the old lady when she was a child, and was almost the godson of the old lady. Later, he secretly went to Shaolin Temple, became a lay disciple for seven years, and learned a hard qigong. was going to live with my godmother for a few years, but I didn't expect Chang Yuehua's father to die, and I wanted Chang Yuehua to go back to inherit the position. Chang Yuehua had no choice but to go back to be his Qianzong, the soldiers he trained and trained were all at the level of "King of Soldiers", and it was very simple to fight ten ordinary soldiers at a time. Last year, the Yunzhou commander had an accident and was ambushed by the enemy and died. Chang Yuehua took his subordinates and entered the enemy camp to avenge the commander. As a result, Chang Yuehua's battalion of people, only 1,000 people, actually killed more than 30,000 soldiers on the other side, completely beating an army of 50,000 people to pieces. For this reason, Chang Yuehua was named and criticized by his superiors once, and was promoted to the commander of Yunzhou.

The old lady told Qin Tai that it was most appropriate to use Chang Yuehua to deal with these three princes. Because among the three princes, the vassal king of the Yang Emperor's Mausoleum is the descendant of the second son of Emperor Jianwen back then, and he is also the eldest son and grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang. Chang Yuehua is the descendant of Chang Yuchun, that is to say, he is the cousin of this vassal king, and even his uncle, Chang Yuehua can force this vassal king to be obedient with his identity as an elder. There are also two vassal kings, one is the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's brother's child, and the other is the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest son. These two vassal kings were more afraid of the Chang family than the vassal king of Fengyang, because their ancestors were raised by Chang Yuchun's family. Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew was going to fight at the beginning, so he stayed in the rear with some children. But Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Ma Xiuying is in charge of logistics and has no time to take care of the children. Xu Da's wife is a lady who teaches children to read a few words, and can be regarded as everyone's teacher. Chang Yuchun's wife is a peasant girl who only takes care of the children's diet and daily life. Generally speaking, Xu is a good gentleman, Chang acts as a bad mother-in-law, although the children are afraid of Chang, but they are also the closest to Chang. Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew calls Chang's godmother, and even his children are afraid of Chang's grandmother. The relationship between Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest son and the Chang family starts with the wet nurse. Not long after Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest son was born, his biological mother died. How does the nurse feed the child, the child will cry if he doesn't eat it. At this time, Chang Yuchun's eldest daughter-in-law and daughter Crown Princess happened to give birth to children, and the two sisters-in-law took turns to take care of this little uncle. This prince called the crown princess sister-in-law, and the wife of the Chang family called sister-in-law, and swore that he or his descendants would listen to the two sisters-in-law for the rest of their lives. The old lady told Qin Tai that Chang Yuehua was given to Qin Tai by God, and it was a "killer weapon" to deal with these losers.

The Metropolitan Governor on one side also promised that he would definitely take care of the forces of Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, here. He can't deal with the royal family, and he doesn't have to look ahead and backward to deal with Xu Jie's family. If Xu Jie's family dared to disobey, the Ming soldiers in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor would not be vegetarians. As for the local officials, the Metropolitan Governor also suggested that Qin Tai contact the eunuchs, and only the eunuchs had the power to supervise the local officials. Once the officials wanted to make trouble, as long as the eunuchs were on the side, they would not go too far, and they would not dare to make any trouble. Because the eunuchs have a "special purpose" in their hands, and those who specialize in dealing with the officials who make trouble are not only effective but also absolutely effective. The Metropolitan Governor also told Qin Tai that the envoy of Nanjing Town was not only Lu Fang's subordinate, but also a relatively upright person, and should be able to help Qin Tai. If even he was unwilling to help Qin Tai, Qin Tai would have no choice but to go to Fengyang. Please ask Lu Fang, the eunuch who is old but not confused, and the eunuch who is the head of the original big and the former celebrant to come out. Qin Tai did not tell the Metropolitan Governor that he had the emperor's gold medal in his hand and would definitely be able to convince the town guard envoy to stand on this side.
