Chapter 150: Dissatisfaction
"Inspector, I didn't expect that I would be able to be crowned an uncle one day, and when I return to my hometown after the war, I must burn incense and worship in front of my ancestors' ranking, so that my ancestors will know my achievements."
On the march, Su Ci rode his horse and walked beside Su Yan, and said to Su Yan with a little excitement.
Since the system has given Su Ci the identity of Su Yan's distant relatives, it has naturally dealt with the relevant things that may lead to bugs, for example, Su Ci's family is an overseas Chinese immigrant who went to Nanyang to work hard more than a hundred years ago, and his name can also be found on the genealogy of the Su Yan family, but the real Su Ci and his parents have died in the stormy waves of the South China Sea, and no one knows, so the system has room to operate.
Not only Su Ci, but also Su Dingyuan or other affairs officers or soldiers who were summoned by the system are also similar to Su Ci, they are all replacing the identities of people in this world who are originally dead and have no father or mother and no concern, it is worth mentioning that most of their identities are descendants of expatriates who went to Nanyang to work hard a few years ago, only in this way is their identity not easy to be debunked.
Retracting his thoughts, Su Yan looked at Su Ci's happy expression, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, the little Fu Anbo will make you excited like this, if you are given the title of marquis, prince of the country or even king in the future, then you are not so excited that you can't sleep all night?" ”
"Hey, Inspector, the last general doesn't dare to ask for any title of king and prince, it is already very satisfying to be able to be a marquis." Su Ci said with a smile, "The honor of being the prince of the country and the king is still for you to enjoy." ”
After speaking, the smile on his face gradually put away, and he looked a little indignant: "Having said that, the superintendent has made great achievements, and it is gratifying to capture Shang, and he has received Zhejiang, where is such a credit worthy of a national prince, then the small court of Nanning is really picky!" ”
"Indeed." Wang Yi on the side came over and interjected: "This move of the imperial court is indeed a bit inappropriate, if His Royal Highness King Lu is in power, the lord's prince will definitely be indispensable." ”
Well, this one is a heavyweight.
Su Yan looked at Wang Yi with a black line, but it is understandable that King Lu is indeed very generous to the civil and military generals who obey him, and the title seems to be issued as if he does not want money, how much and indiscriminately.
However, this also led to the problem of inflation in the title, and the people on King Lu's side wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court wanted to retain their titles or even upgrade a few levels on top of that, so that the Qing court was also affected.
The title of King Lu is worthless and indiscriminate, so Su Yan looks down on the gold content of King Lu's title.
Let's take Zhang Mingzhen as an example, although it is a bit rude to say this, but Zhang Mingzhen's military exploits and fame are not as good as Su Yan's, and he can be made a marquis because of his support and loyalty to King Lu, in fact, his merits in fighting against the Qing Dynasty are about zero.
This kind of person can have the same title as Su Yan, and I don't know if it's sad or ridiculous.
However, Su Yan did not look down on Zhang Mingzhen because of this, on the contrary, like Zhang Huangyan, he also admired Zhang Mingzhen's loyalty to the country, which is a very rare quality.
Just because Zhang Mingzhen was able to strengthen his belief in resisting the Qing Dynasty in the face of adversity, and even handed over his subordinates to Zhang Huangyan before he died, leaving his last words asking him to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty, this behavior was enough to make Su Yan admire.
Retracting his thoughts, Su Yan heard Su Ci speak: "Come on, there are too many titles in King Lu, there are at least eight earls and two marquis among the ten people, in comparison, the titles given by the imperial court of Zhengshuo are a little more golden." ”
Wang Yi opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but after he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to refute, what Su Ci said was indeed the truth, King Lu's knighthood was too generous, even if he thought that he did not have much merit, he could be appointed as a squire in the military department.
So, Wang Yi was silent.
Seeing this, Su Yan promptly opened his mouth to change the topic, and replied to Su Ci's words just now: "This is not the court slamming the door, but we are regarded as a thorn in the side by some traitors in the court, otherwise the court rewarded you and Dingyuan, how could they skip me directly?" ”
"What does the Inspector mean by that?" Wang Yi looked surprised and asked.
Although Su Ci didn't speak, the frowning brow on his face could tell what he was thinking.
Su Yan pretended to be sad and indignant, and said, "Do you know that His Majesty the Emperor has been forcibly taken to Anlongsuo by the Qin King Sun Kewang?" ”
Su Ci and Wang Yi glanced at each other, then shook their heads together, and said, "I don't know." ”
"That Sun Kewang and the eunuch Pang Tianshou were in cahoots, and forcibly moved the court to Anlong, which is Sun Kewang's territory, which is nothing more than coercing the imperial court, intending to follow Cao Mengde's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and it was that Pang Tianshou who made a hindrance from it, so that His Majesty dispelled the idea of Jin I as the prince of the country, the purpose is to prevent us from threatening Sun Kewang's status." Su Yan said.
"This Sun Kewang is simply bold!" Wang Yi said angrily: "I heard that the imperial court originally wanted to crown him as the king of Pingliao, but this guy is bold and reckless, claiming to be the king of Qin, and forcing the court to recognize his title of king of Qin. ”
Although Wang Yi is a half-literate and half-military official, he is actually more inclined to the literati attitude, so his views are the same as most officials in the Southern Ming court, they all look down on and even despise Sun Kewang, and it is no wonder that there will be many frictions, gaps, and even momentum between the Southern Ming court and Sun Kewang.
Although Su Ci was not as angry as Wang Yi, he was also unhappy, but he also knew very well that their biggest enemy at the moment was still the menacing Qing army, and if they wanted to settle accounts with Na Sun Kewang, they had to repel the Qing army's offensive first.
Therefore, he just gritted his teeth and did not speak.
And at this moment, the night that was sent out by Su Yan returned to the military formation one after another, and their report interrupted the conversation of Su Yan and several people - the Qing army did not return to Huzhou Mansion, but stopped after withdrawing ten miles, and they also sent many scouts to find out the movements of the Ming army after stopping, and the Qing army scouts therefore fought with the Ming army at night, but the Ming army was obviously slightly better at night and killed many Qing army scouts.
At the same time, the Qing army also learned the information that the Ming army took the initiative to kill them, Tan Tai couldn't help but be taken aback, because this was obviously different from what he imagined, in his expectation, the Ming army was unlikely to take the initiative to chase after them to fight, but the reality developed like this.
Even so, Tan Tai was still reluctant to fight with the Qing army, although they retreated to ten miles away, but here is still a dense water network, fighting with the Ming army here is still not conducive to the Qing army from the terrain, but from Huzhou to Tongxiang County on the way are dense water network places, if from the perspective of the terrain, where is not a good place to fight with the Ming army.
After thinking about it again, Tan Tai still decided to take a risk and face the invading Ming army head-on.
