Chapter 171: Nursery Rhyme (10,000 words)
The Chinese civilization that embraces all rivers has come to this day, and in the end it is still suspected of being self-contained, and only by breaking it and standing up can it go further.
If self-nirvana is successful, then the greatness of heaven and earth will allow me to soar, but if the Jurchens, a backward nation with a good sense of self, enter the Central Plains, I am not sure how far I will regress.
As soon as he thought of this, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the young Huang Zongxi was already so angry that his face was flushed.
Ergou has long been displeased with the two-legged animals that bark at the eldest brother, although he did not get the indication of the eldest brother, but he still activated the guardian function on his own.
Seeing its huge body, it squatted on the floor like a yellow wolf, raised its head and howled like a wolf, and then showed those scholars sharp teeth no less than wolf teeth.
The scholars were taken aback and accused Ah Huang of "insulting Sven" and "meddling".
I didn't have the slightest tolerance because it was a dog, and I didn't realize that the reason why dogs like to meddle is because rats are too noisy and hateful.
The second dog was furious, and he didn't bark much, but he used four thick dog legs to support his burly body, which was raised by the eldest brother with beef and mutton, and then lowered the two extraordinarily thick retreats slightly, making a gesture to pounce.
In addition, Huang Zongxi, Wu Sangui and others were also eyeing each other like vicious dogs, and the arrogance of the scholars was finally suppressed, and Shi Heng and Li Mingrui bore the brunt of it, and they were even more frightened to abandon their brothers and friends and flee in the wilderness.
"If the two second brothers of a certain family come, they won't be scared to the core!" Ergou Shang used this trick learned from the little second brother for the first time, and when he saw that it was really useful, he couldn't help but shake the dog's head and thought proudly.
Huang Chongzhen has a heart with a heart, and even reached out and touched his huge dog head to show encouragement.
The shopkeeper saw through the clumsy trick of Shi Heng and Li Mingrui to escape the wine money, and the thugs who stopped at the door played a role, and searched the two of them for a while, before the two who dared to be angry and dared not speak escaped into the wind and snow in a condemnation.
"What a pair of difficult brothers." Chongzhen couldn't help but shake his head and smile as he watched the two of them leave in embarrassment from the window on the second floor.
——Eighteen years later, when the Ming calendar stumbled all the way to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, whether it was Li Mingrui who proposed to move south, or Shi Heng, who prevented the southward migration, it will be difficult to become the wisest choice.
For the Ming Dynasty who has come to that point, it is probably only the tragic behavior of "the death of the king", which has never been seen before or since, that can push the stubbornness of the "Son of Heaven guarding the country" to the peak of being talked about by future generations.
As a member of this nation, Chongzhen wanted to start with a small soldier in Guanning, Liaodong, and change the historical process of the last ten years of the Ming Dynasty step by step, until it affected the historical ending in 1644.
As a participant and witness of this tragic history, you can only work hard, and leave the rest to time to dig for the sand, and let history decide.
Do your best, just obey the destiny of heaven.
On this day, Chongzhen, these little soldiers from Guanning, the young Huang Zongxi and the young Zhang Pan, enjoyed the snow and wine tasting in the Jiangnan Hotel, and when the wine was happy, the nursery rhyme of "the locusts really came to Beijing, the horses stepped on the Guangqu Gate, and the flower thieves were captured, and the good works frustrated the scholars, and the dogs bit Ruiheng" quickly became popular in Beijing.
In the middle of the night, it was transmitted by the factory guard to the ears of Wei Zhongxian, who covered the capital with one hand, and also entered the carpenter's courtyard through the mouth of the palace guard, which was mistaken for the misguided monarch who only knew how to study carpentry.
Huang Chongzhen got not only a copy of Mobao from the young Huang Zongxi, but also the news that Wei Zhongxian would hold another birthday banquet for himself this year in three days.
Wu Sangui was very troubled by this news, because he did not receive an invitation until the evening of the third day, and he did not even come to the most inconspicuous factory guard to inform him.
Seeing that the Jingshi under the cover of night began to enforce the curfew from the Forbidden Imperial City, the pores on Wu Sangui's scalp were opened, his hair stood on end, and he walked around the Chongzhen room anxiously and unwillingly.
Chongzhen was helpless about the behavior of nine tall men and a sturdy yellow dog crammed into a standard room.
Fortunately, under his influence, eight people and one dog, including Zhang Pan, have also developed the habit of bathing and changing clothes frequently, even on snowy days, they must take a well bath to train their muscles.
The second dog is the most direct, just roll a few laps in the ground covered with thick snow, shake the dog's hair, and then find someone to wipe it for him.
Based on such a mentality, Chongzhen never cares about "whether the mountain comes to me or not", but takes the current situation as a reference, from the heart, and uses "whether I should go to the mountain" as a life creed.
Of course, Wei Zhongxian would not send birthday invitations to his group of border soldiers from Guanning, firstly because they were really unqualified, and secondly, because they were in two opposing camps.
However, this hostility is in a very delicate period at this time, and the political situation of the Ming Dynasty has wonderfully found a balance point at this time, forming a political balance, with arrogance at one end and silence at the other.
However, Chongzhen knows that whether it is arrogant or silent, it is only temporary.
This illusion will soon be shattered by the death of the Emperor of the Neglect of Politics and the accession of the Emperor of the Diligence Emperor.
What if he accidentally broke it by himself, a second stunned man from the Guanning border area?
Will it have a huge impact on the Ming Dynasty situation, which has finally put on the illusion of stability?
Will it let the two factions who have formed a strong momentum under the pleasure of the imperial power rush to the ground, and catch the technocratic emperor in the deep palace who neglects political affairs off guard?
Will Yuan Chonghuan, who is hovering outside the whirlpool of power and has to be affected by the strong suction of the whirlpool, jump to scold his mother while laughing loudly?
As soon as he thought of this, a knowing smile appeared on Huang Chongzhen's resolute and slightly darkened Chinese face.
When Zhou Ji and the others saw this, they knew in their hearts that this guy had a bad idea again.
Wu Sangui immediately stopped and looked at him, and Chongzhen smiled and said his bold idea.
"Are you serious? Is this possible? Gonggong Wei's mansion is very close to the Forbidden Imperial City. And the father-in-law is a yin owl...... If we go uninvited, it will be tantamount to breaking in......" After Wu Sangui heard this, he was immediately nervous and scared, and he was so excited that he walked back and forth again, like an anxious little cheetah.
"What? Do you have times when you're afraid? Shigejin smiled, squinting.
Wu Sangui felt that this guy's expression was really as annoying as he was, so he immediately jumped to his feet as if he was stepping on the fire and said, "What are you kidding?" Young Master Ben went to the soup for the Guanning army, and even dared to break into the Shenyang Forbidden City, which was temporarily occupied by Jiannu, are you still afraid of our own imperial city? ”
Zhou Ji and the others all laughed, but Wu Sangui, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, did not become angry this time, but smiled maliciously: "The most impressive thing about this coming to Beijing is that what is locked up in this seemingly majestic imperial city is not a loyal dog to be slaughtered, but a lamb to be slaughtered.
As a soldier on the border, since we are here, we should rush this beautiful sound, so that the people of Beijing know that only our Guan Ning Army can take care of the gateway to the country in the Western Liaoning Corridor for me. ”
For this self-deprecation of comparing himself to a watchdog, Chongzhen did not reject it at all, but laughed with satisfaction.
Zhou Ji and the others also nodded approvingly, although these low-level soldiers were deeply suppressed and poisoned by the class confinement of this era, but they had been on the border for a long time, especially the vicious battle with Jiannu under Ningyuan City, they had already cultivated a strong heart that was not afraid of wind and snow, so they all silently waited for Chongzhen to give a clear order.
And Chongzhen has always been a resolute person, not to mention with the support of a group of brothers, even if there is no one behind him, he will move forward lonely and stubbornly.
Therefore, when the great capital division fell silent under the coercion of the Forbidden Imperial City, when most of the common people and officials hid in their homes and did not dare to go out on the streets without permission.
Chongzhen, these little soldiers from Guanning, dragged Zhang Pan, took the two dogs, and walked towards the depths of the Beijing Division, towards the Imperial City Avenue, although they did not raise torches, they also swaggered, and walked at night in grass clothes.
Even Lu Xiangguan, who was extremely heavy-looking, took off his Confucian robe and changed into Zhou Ji's linen suit - the two were the closest in terms of height, weight and body proportion.
It is very strange that no one came to stop the streets of Jingshi, which were shrouded by the shadow of the factory guards.
It was the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who patrolled the city, and when they saw these ten people and one dog in the haze, they all made a detour, as if Chongzhen and his party were the bullies who were rampant on the streets of Jingshi.
Wu Sangui shrank from shrunk to suspicious, and finally held his head high, and was amazed.
Chongzhen was happy and relaxed, because only he knew that coming to Beijing was not as simple as congratulating Wei Zhongxian on his birthday, or that it was just a pretense, and the real reason was that it was due to the emperor's secret invitation.
The footsteps of the young warriors are not ordinary perseverance and speed.
Soon, in the chaos of Lu Xiangguan's heart, he was able to climb over the closed Zhengyang Gate guarded by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, just like when he was a child, he climbed over the school wall to go online, with ease.
After entering the Imperial City Avenue, there were obviously more secret posts in Minggang, but it was very strange, but he still ignored it, as if he had been instructed a long time ago, and Lu Xiangguan's heartbeat gradually returned to stability.
So in that silent street, Chongzhen and the others were like a group of abrupt retrogrades, approaching Hua Lantern step by step, and as soon as the lights were first on, they had quickly evolved into the bright Wei Mansion.
When the little eunuch standing at the door as a welcome was famous, he immediately endured his excitement and sang in an extremely sharp and high-decibel voice: "Under the command of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, Yuan Qi, the guard of the artillery battalion, Huang Chongzhen, the garrison of the artillery battalion, Wu Sangui, the garrison of the cavalry battalion, and Zhou Ji, the sentinel of the artillery battalion, came to visit ...... with gifts."
