"It's all old acquaintances, come on, come on! Let's fill this cup. Old Chen Fu sat on the host's seat, looking like a high-roller.

Wang Tiqian sat at the top of the guest seat, and Zhang Huangyan was accompanying him. Green beads stood on the side, helping everyone pour tea and wine. In terms of reception specifications, this is not generally high.

"Hey......! Our family thought that they would never be able to come to Donglaishun to eat again, but they were only two months apart, and the changes in the Ming Dynasty were earth-shaking! Wang Tiqian drained the wine in the cup in one gulp.

"It seems that my father-in-law has a lot of emotion, come and come! Drink this cup to the fullest and forget all the unpleasant things. Zhang Huangyan was playing haha on the side.

The two didn't know that the old man escaped from Nanjing by hiding in a dung truck. Today's Jiangnan is already the world of Qian Qianyi of the Donglin Party. Long live the palace in Nanjing is like house arrest, Luo Yang, Yang Sichang are useless. They couldn't control the Nanjing Forbidden Army at all, and the Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi didn't listen to Luo's cultivation. Dongchang ......! Dongchang Fanzi was lured to Xuanwu Lake and killed a seven-seven-eighty-eight. The rest will be scattered ...... birds and beasts! Wang Tiqian drank another glass of wine.

Under the influence of alcohol, Wang Tiqian said intermittently, Zhang Huangyan and Lao Chen Fu listened seriously. Every time a glass of wine is drained, the green beads are very intimately poured.

It turned out that Qian Qianyi had already known that there was a plague in Shaanxi, and Xi'an was not captured at all, but because the plague caused the infection of the sergeants and soldiers and was unable to fight again. Otherwise, how could it be possible to conquer the fortified city of Xi'an with those chaotic people.

Qian Qianyi concealed the epidemic until Tongguan was conquered. The rebellious people coerced the Eight Banners to attack Bauhinia Pass and Juyong Pass, and only then did they explain the matter to the emperor and Pan.

Zhu Youzhen is not afraid of the Eight Banners, nor is he afraid of the chaotic people. The three major battalions of the forbidden army in the capital add up to 100,000 people, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the high and deep pools of the capital after two hundred years of construction. As an emperor, you just need to climb up and shout. The armies of King Qin from all over the country will gather like a great river flowing into the sea, and kill the rebellious people and the Eight Banners soldiers gathered under the capital with overwhelming momentum.

As an emperor, Zhu Youzhen never doubted his legitimacy and appeal.

But the plague he was really afraid! Because the plague doesn't care if it's an emperor or not, as long as you're human, the plague can spread to you. Even if you are the Ninety-Five, you are likely to die due to the plague!

In the face of the terrible plague, Zhu Youzhen decided to temporarily abandon the capital. Anyway, when the capital was moved to the capital, Nanjing still retained this imperial palace and retained the six departments of Nanjing. For so many years, the imperial court has spent state money to maintain two bureaucratic systems, for today's sake.

When I left the capital, I was in a hurry, and most of the families of the officers and soldiers of the three battalions were in the capital, and people kept fleeing along the way. Qian Qianyi deliberately concealed the news, but was in a hurry to take the emperor away. For this reason, they did not hesitate to fabricate military newspapers to create an atmosphere of military emergency.

The imperial court was completely controlled by Qian Qianyi, and soon after Zhu Youzhen left the capital, he became blind and deaf.

At that time, Wang Tiqian was still on the way to march into the capital with Li Xiao, and these things were also said by Wang Chengen later.

When I arrived in Nanjing, the situation changed completely. The palace maids and eunuchs in the Nanjing Palace have long been controlled by the Donglin Party. And the Jiangnan Forbidden Army is also in the hands of the Donglin Party. Qian Qianyi responded to every call when he got there, and Zhu Youzhen had no chance to issue a decree. As for his holy decree, he couldn't even leave the palace.

Luo Yanghe and Yang Sichang stayed in the palace every day, keeping the emperor warm together. Finally, everyone's safety was kept for the time being! Qian Qianyi will not kill the emperor, but he may not attack Luo Yanghe and Yang Sichang.

There was really no way, Wang Tiqian hid in a dung truck and sneaked out of Nanjing. Suffering enough and sinning along the way, this is considered to be running north to the capital.

After talking about the experience of more than two months intermittently, Wang Tiqian was already a little smoky. The days of these two months are really not enough for outsiders. I finally relaxed today, and after drinking some wine, I lost the door to my mouth.

Old Chen Fu and Zhang Huangyan glanced at each other, and it seemed that all the speculations were correct in combination with the news from Nanjing.

The emperor suddenly left Beijing, and this matter was completely planned by Qian Qianyi. In order to hold the emperor hostage and order the world to supervise him. In order to reach the point where the Donglin Party controls the government!

"Princess! Brother Xiao'er is now being watched by someone in every move, so it is inconvenient to come to see his father-in-law. When he came, Brother Xiao specially instructed the old man to inform his father-in-law. Our Liao army will always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to Your Majesty! As long as His Majesty has an order, we will definitely send troops to Wang Qingjun's side to kill Qian Qianyi and other villains. Zhang Huangyan patted his chest at Wang Tiqian and assured.

"Li Shuai is loyal and righteous through the ages, and he is longer than Guan Yun." Listening to Zhang Huangyan's words, Wang Tiqian was so moved that he almost cried.

Brother Xiao also said that he was worried about Banzai's safety. I hope that he will not raise troops for the time being, and he will send capable men to Nanjing to help Banzai find a way to escape. As long as Banzai returns to the capital, he can naturally order the world to eliminate the Donglin Rebellion. At that time, our Liao army will be the vanguard. Old Chen Fu continued on the side.

"So good! So much better! What the old slave was worried about was that after Li Shuai raised his troops, Qian Qianyi's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, which was not good for Long Life. Wang Tiqian very much agreed with this proposal, and in any case it was a matter of course to take Zhu Youzhen from Nanjing to the capital.

"When I arrived in Nanjing, I had to contact my father-in-law with the palace. We sent Miss Luzhu back to lead the elite to help Banzai escape from Nanjing City. ”

"Very good! Very good! Li Shuai is loyal, and the two adults are loyal. Long live the danger, and I will not forget you. Wang Tiqian was very moved when he heard it, and he had Li Xiao's support. Zhu Youzhen has nothing to fear!

When the matter was negotiated, the three of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp. Wang Tiqian was already half-drunk, and he couldn't stand the persuasion of the two old foxes to drink, and finally got drunk and slipped directly under the table.

"This matter is big or small, really don't you want to tell Brother Xiao'er?" ordered someone to take away Wang Tiqian, and Zhang Huangyan made a pot of fragrant tea for Lao Chen Fu.

"Forget it! Don't talk about it, it's useless to say that it's annoying him. Our handsome man is good at everything, but his heart is not as vicious as ours. Let the old man do this dirty hand thing. This time, the old man and Luzhu went to Nanjing together. You will definitely do things brightly, and you are also prepared here. On Mr. Sun's side, the old man will send someone to inform him. As long as the matter is done, the world will be ours in the future. ”

"Great work! The old man replaces wine with tea and toasts you. ”

"Drink to win!"

The two old foxes touched each other with their teacups and smiled knowingly.

Li Xiao didn't know about the upcoming big event, and he was annoyed for the past few days. Because the old fisherman sent his grandson Xiaoyu to bring bad news. Tests with machine guns failed!

According to Li Xiao's understanding, it should be very easy to tinker with a machine gun with fixed ammunition. But when it comes to practice, it's not like that at all!

The gun is made, and it can also be fired in bursts. But the quality of the barrel is seriously not up to par, even if it is made to look like a Gatling machine gun. The steel produced on Changxing Island could not withstand continuous fire with a high rate of fire. The yield strength and high temperature resistance are more than one layer worse, and it seems that basic science cannot play a role in pulling out the seedlings. This thing needs to accumulate over time, from quantitative change to finally produce qualitative change.

A machine gun fired more than 100 rounds in a row, and the barrel jammed due to heat and deformation. If the bullet in the back comes up, it will explode.

The failure of the machine gun made Li Xiao extremely depressed, and the firearms of the Eight Banners and the Han Army, as well as the Jiangnan Forbidden Army, were constantly improving. In fact, Li Xiao now only has the advantage of gunpowder. Of course, there are advantages to training and equipping as well. However, I believe that they will be caught up soon, it turns out that there are no fools in this world, and Li Xiao found that these bastards are progressing too fast.

The Nanjing Forbidden Army compiled and trained by Shi Kefa imitated Li Xiao from the beginning. In order to learn from Li Xiao, he even bought a large amount of arms at a large price. The flintlock pistol is actually a one-shot deal. Those craftsmen in Jiangnan were quickly copied. This is also one of the reasons why Li Xiao insisted on selling a large amount to Shi Kefa.

The current Nanjing Forbidden Army is completely on par with Li Xiao's Liao Army in terms of establishment and training. Even the military uniform is similar to that of the Liao army, and Shi Kefa found that this combination of pants and clothes is very suitable for combat. In comparison, the traditional Ming military uniform appeared bulky and bloated.

Anyway, except for not shaving his head, he has learned everything that can be learned. In fact, Shi Kefa also wanted to shave his head, but he was strongly obstructed by the Taoist gentlemen of the Donglin Party led by Qian Qianyi. The ancient precepts of the parents of the body are rooted in everyone's heart, and they are not so easily shaken. Moreover, Shi Kefa did not have the courage to take the lead in shaving his head.

The New Year in the capital has been boring, and the reason is that I haven't been with my family this year. The Wang clan was sent back to Changxing Island by Tokugawa Chihime, and Li Xiao took a large number of troops into Beijing, and the struggle against the Donglin Party became white-hot again. No one dares to guarantee that the Donglin Party will not use such a means as assassination. Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting's security has been raised to a very high level.

Zuojiazhuang in the suburbs of Beijing!

Wu Sangui looked left and right, and quietly knocked on an inconspicuous-looking house. Zuojiazhuang has a human field, and people in the capital are very taboo, so there are very few people here. There are only a few people who have made their homes here! The Huarenchang earns a lot of money on weekdays, and these families are also well-off. Every family has built a big brick house, and in order to ward off evil spirits, there are copper gossip mirrors hanging on their eyebrows.

"Who!" A woman came out of the courtyard and asked through the door.

"The third child of the Hao family, ask if you want lamp oil."

"Yes! We only had the last bottle of lamp oil left yesterday, and you came at the right time. On a cold day, I also bother you to run and come in to warm up. The woman opened the door enthusiastically and let Wu Sangui in. looked up at the stupid man sitting at the entrance of the village, and saw that he didn't move, so he led Wu Sangui inside.

Everything was so natural, Wu Sangui followed behind the woman, holding the revolver and hiding it in his sleeve.

When she entered the house, the woman lifted the kang mat. Revealing the secret door below, he opened the secret door and said to Wu Sangui: "Please go in, there are people waiting inside." ”

Wu Sangui looked at the secret door, and there was a black rumbling below. I didn't want to go in, but when I thought of the words on the note, my heart went down.

Unexpectedly, there were still people below to answer. The tunnel is very dark, and there is an oil lamp not far away. Wu Sangui saw several forks in the road, and if no one led him, it was estimated that it would be difficult to turn out.

Turning around, Wu Sangui was a little confused. Only then did I come to a secret room, where the rice-faced tables, chairs, and beds were complete. An old man with gray hair sat on a chair and saw Wu Sangui come in. smiled: "The major general is here, please take a seat." ”

Wu Sangui took a closer look at the secret room, although it was underground, it was not boring. Obviously, there are vents in this place. Wu Sangui looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't find where the vent was.

Sitting opposite the old man, Wu Sangui saw an old face without a beard. It turned out to be a eunuch!

"Our family Cao Huachun has seen the major general." Cao Huachun arched his hand at Wu Sangui.

"Grandpa Cao! I don't know what it is to summon me with the Banzai Secret Order? Wu Sangui looked at the tea handed over by Cao Huachun, and didn't reach out to take it at all.

"This Zuojiazhuang is actually controlled by Xiaolingwei. The old man is the controller of Xiaolingwei, and we people are not as beautiful as Jinyiwei. Clean up some of the things that deal with the, hey......! The twenty-four guards of the Ming Dynasty, the most despised is our filial piety. Cao Huachun ignored Wu Sangui, and just drank tea and talked by himself.

Wu Sangui had a very dangerous feeling, and the hairs on his entire back stood up. The revolver in his hand was held again, and his heart was more steady.

"Tufuzi, naturally, will live underground. If the major general wants to do it, then just do it. But the old man reminds you that if the old man dies. You can't get out of this place in your life, and the old man is seven out of fifty this year. No matter how you count it, it can't be considered an early death. It's just that if you lose the major general, it's not worth it.

Years later, the bodies of you and me were dug up. I don't know, I think it's grandchildren! Hehehe! Cao Huachun's laughter was harsh, like a goose with asthma.

Wu Sangui immediately closed the safety of the revolver, and he didn't want to be buried with this old bastard.

"Huh! The killing intent has decreased a lot, and you are a material that can be made. Where did you just say? Oh yes! Speaking of our filial piety guards, it's terrible!

But now that there is Qian Ge Lao, Xiaolingwei's life is much better. Jinyiwei has been in the limelight for so many years, and it is time for us Xiaolingwei to be in the limelight. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Wu Sangui was a little impatient, although he was not depressed, but who wanted to stay underground without anything. The dead have to stay underground!

"When people are old, they talk babblingly. The young general is not strange, the old man means that the old man obeys the orders of the old man. As for him, he can make our filial piety better. ”

"You mean to say that you are not ordered by Banzai, but by Qian Qianyi?" Wu Sangui felt his right eyelid jump wildly.
