Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Envoy in the Name of the Spy After the War
"On the first of August, the slave chief died." This is easy to understand, and Huang Chongzhen also knows the historical context of this time period in detail, so he is looking forward to this news.
"Only, why is it this day? This is the festival of Lao Tzu's last life! Your Dead Date, My Festival! Coincidence! Hey! ”
Sure enough, after receiving this spy report, Huang Chongzhen did not doubt him, and immediately flew to report the ancestor's birthday.
Zu Dashou was extremely excited about this, so he wanted to take Huang Chongzhen and go straight to Marshal Ningyuan's mansion to report this exciting news to Yuan Chonghuan, but the young man decisively refused.
Zu Dashou glanced at it strangely, stomped his feet and reported to himself, thinking as he ran: "It's not that General Ben doesn't give you the opportunity to show your face in front of the marshal, it's that you don't cherish it!" ”
But who is rare Huang Chongzhen?
With his full of enthusiasm, simple self, and extraordinary skills, this guy has long become the most trusted person of Yuan Zu and the others.
Even Zhu Mei and Zuo Fu, two extremely low-key generals, can be called the generals of the Pillar Kingdom, and they also love them a lot.
Man Gui didn't like him at first, because he overshadowed himself strongly.
But in a big competition three months ago, this Mongolian warrior really couldn't get used to the terrible scene of the group of rough men with snot under his command being beaten and screaming by a clean and refreshing Han boy.
So, he personally went on the field to compete with Chongzhen.
That battle could not be called an earth-shattering crying ghost and god, but the whole process was hard-hitting, without any fancy, fists to the flesh, and the Guan Ning soldiers were addicted and applauded loudly.
In the end, Huang Chongzhen, a Chinese special warfare elite who had been fighting in the bloody storm, vaguely sold a small flaw, and lost a move, but won the respect of all the officers and men of the whole army.
Even Man Gui stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder with a little frustration, and comforted: "Not bad, not bad." It's a pity, it's a ”
I can't cry or laugh when it's so heavy, but fortunately there is a sentence behind it - what a good cavalry seedling.
This blatant poaching behavior is really shameless, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion, who have been questioned, finally raised their eyebrows because of Huang Chongzhen's great might, and of course refused to let him be poached.
It's just that because of the majesty of Man Gui, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
Fortunately, Yuan Chonghuan had not thought of assigning Huang Chongzhen, who had long hands and feet, to the cavalry camp, especially under the command of the alien cavalry regiment of the Guanning Army, which was controlled by Man Gui.
He is also complacent about Huang Chongzhen's long face, and the love of love has to die and live, how can he be willing to give it.
After all, before the Battle of Ningyuan, the brand-new tactical idea of "fortifying the city, relying on cannons" was extremely controversial in the court, but this kid used superb artillery skills and a gun mount to rewrite this controversy into support.
If it weren't for the death of his confidant, if it weren't for his proud Yuan Chonghuan's mind, all the generals would be Qiu Ba, all of them were "soldiers", and he would have introduced Huang Chongzhen as a confidant.
Huang Chongzhen could also feel Yuan Chonghuan's burning gaze from time to time, and his hair stood on end, so he avoided him as much as possible.
Therefore, he decisively rejected Zu Dashou's invitation.
After all, why do you have to be two people for such a simple technical job as reporting a quasi-letter?
Regarding Zu Dashou's behavior of not following Huang Chongzhen many times after his death, Yuan Chonghuan said that he was very disappointed, and he also had the urge to get up and sprinkle his anger on this rough man.
But he didn't get this opportunity, because Zu Dashou, a simple man, was even more excited than him, and before he stepped into the Shuaifu, he had already shouted: "Dashuai, the slave chief is dead!" The Slave Chief is dead! ”
"The Slave Chief is dead?" Yuan Chonghuan was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed, and immediately knew the whole army.
All of a sudden, the hearts of the Guanning army were excited, the people's hearts were stirred, and the determination to overcome Houjin was also unprecedentedly firm.
After a brief period of fun with the soldiers, Yuan Chonghuan returned to the study and fell into deep thought.
Zu Dashou brought Huang Chongzhen to meet him at his strong request, and as soon as he stepped into the study, he saw this scene, and stood quietly aside without interrupting.
In the end, Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth fiercely, spread out a blank notebook, and wrote with a pen.
Zu Dashou stepped on heavy cat steps, sneaked behind him to peek, and saw that the beginning was a vigorous and graceful line of Xiaokai - the envoy Houjin.
"After the envoy?" Zu Dashou thought at first that this was another good news similar to Ning Yuan's great victory, but obviously he didn't expect such a thing, so he was taken aback and blurted out.
Yuan Chonghuan was interrupted, turned his head and glared at Zu Dashou, and said: "What is the dignified general soldier doing all day long, what kind of system is it, look at the people's Ah Zhen ......"
When Huang Chongxin was furious, Yuan Chonghuan had already stopped writing and continued to write quickly: "Chen Chonghuan visited His Majesty the Emperor, and heard that the slave chief died of depression, and rejoiced and congratulated the Emperor. However, the chief of the slave has always been treacherous, and he must not be guarded against. The minister wants to send someone to Houjin to find out the truth and ask for the emperor's permission......"
The sincerity between the lines reveals Yuan Chonghuan's infinite desire to win.
Although there may be many criticisms about his personality, his thinking and moral character are not very good. But this original intention, Huang Chongzhen feels that it is still worthy of his respect.
It's just that since the slave chieftain used the Seven Hatreds as the reason for the war, the two sides have been in a state of endless war, and there has never been diplomacy.
Both sides tacitly believe that only the complete defeat of one side can bring this endless battle to a complete end.
For the Houjin, a new regime in Liaodong that was once a fetter of the Ming Dynasty and its slave chieftain was a domestic slave in Li Chengliang's mansion, from the emperor to the common people, they always held a negative attitude.
is not only ashamed to establish diplomatic relations with Houjin, but also called it "Jiannu".
Therefore, if Yuan Chonghuan really sent an envoy to "send the envoy to Houjin", then it would inevitably make the entire Ming Dynasty in an uproar, and the court, which was not very peaceful, would be boiling like boiled water.
In the original history, this move has also become the most questioned place for Yuan Chonghuan, the earliest "ironclad evidence" of his fornication with slaves, and an important reason why he was finally executed by Ling Chi.
In order to repay his original intention of "loyal souls still guarding Liaodong", Huang Chongzhen resolutely decided to do his best to change Yuan Chonghuan's life and develop in that tragic and tragic direction.
So he thought about it for a while, then he smiled and said: "The handsome man loves soldiers like a son, but he dares to ask the court for an inch of merit, why is he doing the opposite today?" ”
The implication is - why do you want to carry this pot alone?
Yuan Chonghuan's mind was so keen, he immediately heard the strings, and exclaimed in horror: "Er Zhen is a blessed general of God's handsome." Order-Man Gui, Zhu Mei, Zuo Fu, come to the Shuai's Mansion for deliberations......
Slowly, call the generals, guerrillas, capitalists, garrisons, and even sentinels, as long as they are in the city. ”
"No!" Although the second-hand soldier named Yuan Er did not know why, he had always carried out Yuan Chonghuan's orders meticulously.
As soon as Yuan Chonghuan gave the order, Guan Ningjun was like a wind-up machine, running rapidly.
Zuo Fu, who was guarding Ningyuan, was the first to come to the Shuaifu, and Zhu Mei, who was supervising the construction of the fortress outside, also immediately rushed back, and Man Gui, who had learned to go out to train the army, soon rushed back in the dust.
An hour later, the most important generals of the Guanning Army gathered together, but Zhao Shujiao, who was stationed on Juehua Island, was missing.
After another half an hour, it was agreed that under Huang Chongzhen's suggestion, Yuan Chonghuan changed "after the envoy" to "after the spy war".
Although there is only a difference between two words, its meaning is like "repeated defeats" and "repeated defeats", which is far from the same.
However, I don't know what Yuan Chonghuan's considerations were, but in the end, he still only asked the imperial court in his own name, and sent it to Beijing in an expedited manner for 800 miles.
The smart Huang Chongzhen was quite puzzled by this, and flashed a pair of lovely double eyelids and big eyes.
Yuan Chonghuan patted him on the shoulder dotingly, and explained with an elegant smile: "Big locust, big locust, you are too young after all." Joint deliberations are sufficient. The joint concert is a bit excessive. ”
Huang Chongzhen immediately suddenly heard this, and said secretly: "Political affairs, as expected, are full of pits that make people fall into the abyss if they are not careful, Yuan Shuai is really a master of this way." ”
Since the fall of Fushun, the battle reports received by the Ming Jingshi on Liaodong have always been failures or even fiascos, until the great victory of Ningyuan, there is the blood of the bullet crown and celebration.
The disastrous victory against the "Manchurian Jurchen Cavalry" on Juehua Island made all the Chinese people feel deeply shocked and extremely proud.
In the following half a year, with the Nu Chief, Haidongqing, who had roamed freely in the sky over Liaodong, was unable to flap his wings, thus shrinking his claws.
Guan Ningjun took the opportunity to forge ahead, so every time there was good news to the Beijing Division, which was encouraging.
And the news that "the slave chief died of depression" is like a flowering bullet that Huang Chongzhen and the Guanning Military Factory have been devoting themselves to research, but have never succeeded, and the road to Beijing has exploded in an instant.
A ride in the dust, the horse's hooves roared.
But immediately the knight's hoarse roar was still clearly heard in the ears of every passer-by.
Therefore, before this news was sent to Jingshi, it was spontaneously and quickly transmitted to Jiangnan, Northwest, Southwest and other places, making the flowers redder, the willows greener, the men raised their eyebrows, and the women exhaled.
The majestic and magnificent Ming Forbidden Palace should have been celebrated by the whole world.
But the Emperor of the Apocalypse likes to hide in an inconspicuous courtyard in the deep palace, obsessed with carpentry.
It's just that with such shocking news, even Wei Zhongxian, who is covering the sky with more and more hands, does not dare to act arbitrarily.
He first swaggered Wang Ba and came to the carpentry laboratory of the carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao.
Then he instantly lowered his body, took Yuan Chonghuan's fold from the little eunuch's hand, held it with both hands, and respectfully pushed the door in.
