Chapter Twenty-Three: Loyal Servants and Traitors

There is no natural careerist in the world, no one is born with the intention of causing trouble in the world, for this point, whether it is Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, or Yu Feng, there is no difference.

If it weren't for the abolition of the post station, perhaps, Li Zicheng would still be his post post there; If Yu Feng had woken up from Daming at the beginning, he would have been in the family of a wealthy and noble eunuch, I am afraid that the new army now would not even have the slightest chance to appear.

It is said that the times create heroes, and heroes are not creating the times, although the long river of history is a mighty "swing" and "swing" without stopping, but in a small place, perhaps, because of a certain person, his trajectory direction will be changed. At this point, open the history books, examples abound.

Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Zhang Juzheng of Daming, if it weren't for his efforts to save Wang Lan, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Daming is afraid that he has already finished the road he should take, and he will die after using up his luck, if there is no Zhang Juzheng, Yu Feng is sure that it will definitely not be Chongzhen's turn to support the overall situation here.

Tens of thousands of 'elite' soldiers will come across the sea, and Da Ming is in trouble at the moment inside and outside, even if Yu Feng is arrogant, he has to admit that at this moment, he may indeed have the ability to slightly change the course of the long river of history.

Helping the Ming Dynasty, he can get enough resources to supplement, with the current military strength of the new army, and the Ming Dynasty's 'elite' sharp cooperation, the Qing country's attack will no longer be a fundamental problem that threatens the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming army can maintain a state of confrontation with the Qing army, it is already very illustrative, although the Ming Dynasty has a disadvantage, but this disadvantage is not very big, with the addition of the new army that is not inferior to the Qing army's military strength, it is only a matter of time to reverse the disadvantage.

However, making such a decision is naturally good for the Ming Dynasty, but for Yu Feng, it is a hundred disadvantages and no benefits, for this, he has to pay a considerable price, if Yu Feng's army appears on the battlefield, this means that the fragile alliance between him and the Qing State will be broken immediately, then, his birthplace, there is no doubt that he will face the overwhelming revenge of the Qing army. Since it has been determined that Yu Feng has taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, then, even if the Qing State does not use troops against the Ming Dynasty for the time being, it is necessary to cut off Yu Feng, the tiger on their side of the couch, this, the monarch with a little vision, will do this.

Therefore, once such a decision is made, Yu Feng has no way back, which means that everything he has and all the efforts he has made over the years have been bet on the Ming Dynasty as a bet, and once the court rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, his fate will be quite miserable.

However, if you don't help the Ming Dynasty, Yu Feng knows that soon, under the internal and external attacks, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to resist, first Li Zicheng wants to enter Beijing, and then, the braided soldiers of the Qing State will wave their troops into the customs and become the master of the Central Plains 'flower' and 'flower' world, and at that time, the Qing Dynasty, which has taken power, can't even accommodate the Zheng family in Taiwan, how can he tolerate him, and his ending is still not impressive.

"I'm not here to be the enemy of Daming!" This sentence, Yu Feng said from his heart, but this does not mean that he wants to completely surrender to Daming, in Yu Feng's mind, limited cooperation, this is his bottom line.

Daming has internal and external troubles, in the final analysis, since Chongzhen came to power, what he has done is to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, but what if he only needs to deal with one wall?

Since the Qing army is powerful, for the sake of its own survival foundation, it is not enough for him to directly conflict with the Qing army, so he will directly 'hand' the Qing army to the Ming Dynasty, and concentrate on dealing with those exile troops, so that the Ming Dynasty will have more military strength to 'pump' out and go to the other party, these foreign invaders. With his own tens of thousands of strong troops, to deal with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others, and relieve the pressure on the Ming Dynasty, will this be more dangerous than fighting against the Qing army? Yu Feng thought silently.

Burun's handwritten letter was delivered the next day, Yu Feng took a look at it, and directly 'handed over' it to the Detective Department and sent it out. As he said, Brunn did his best to show his intentions, and as for those who received the letters, they did not know if they took them seriously. Although these people who received the letter, although they were not as powerful as the cabinet scholars, they were also the backbone of the Ming court, even including Burun's teacher, if these people joined forces and made the same voice, they could not be ignored.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to expect people to speak for you in vain and not pay any price, but Mu Shi is familiar with the practice of officialdom, these people, how to deal with it, and in what way to deal with it, naturally there is no need for Yu Feng to 'worry'.

What Yu Feng has to do is to wait quietly in Tianjin. Don't make a gesture that panics Beijing, I believe that it won't be long before the imperial court's attitude towards him will become clear, and when he arrives, he may be able to go directly to the book and show his heart to the Son of Heaven. If the Great Tomorrow Son was not stupid, he would not have used these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but instead mobilized military horses to suppress their actions.

.....．

Yu Feng did not move in Tianjin, but in Beijing, it was a 'chaos'. The situation was far less calm than Yu Feng thought. Originally, there were Tartars outside, and the capital was already floating in the hearts of the people, and now suddenly in the armpit place, there are tens of thousands of "rebels", if the emperor in Beijing City, down to the courtiers can rest assured, it is a strange thing.

The common people don't have to worry for the time being, the news has not spread so fast in Beijing, where martial law is strict, and the vast majority of the people are concerned about the battle between Lu Inspector and Tartar outside the city, and almost no one knows that there is such a thing in Tianjin.

But in the imperial court, almost every day, there are people worrying about this matter, arguing, and even writing to ask the Son of Heaven to consider moving the capital.

Chongzhen did not hesitate to call this piece back, and the minister who wrote the book was directly beaten with thirty court rods outside the noon 'gate'. During the Chongzhen period, the court rod was definitely not a good way for officials from scholars to cheat their reputation, and those who were directly killed by the court staff outside the noon 'gate' were also one or two.

Therefore, after this unlucky guy was killed outside the noon 'gate', no one brought up this topic anymore, these days, there are two things in the round of the DPRK and China, the first is the battle report of Lu Xiangsheng and Tatar, and the second is how to deal with the situation in Tianjin.

Even if the military strength of the Beijing division is tight, it has to deploy nearly 20,000 people in the direction of Tianjin, which is already almost half of the remaining military horses of the Beijing division. At this time, the capital is like dancing on the tip of a knife.

Chongzhen knew this very well, but he didn't have any way. The troops who were closer had been mobilized to deal with the Tartars, and the army of King Qinwang of Jiangnan was far away, and the rebels in Tianjin could reach the city of Beijing in less than three days if they were to attack.

"Suppression can't be exterminated temporarily, it can only be appeased, with the two thousand people under General Pingyuan, brazenly attacking the city, the old man always moves, I'm afraid that there is something strange in it!"

"It is said that these people are some foreign barbarians, for the use of General Pingyuan, I am afraid, there are really twists and turns, no matter what holy judgment there is now, the top priority is to stabilize it first, wait until the Tartars are repulsed, and then slowly figure it out!"

Today's court meeting, such discussions, suddenly, more, although no one officially wrote the book, but as long as this view is the mainstream, naturally there will be people who will report their remarks and trends, and today's saints are not easy to fool the people, and the end of the people who fool him is not at the entrance of the vegetable market, or outside the noon 'gate'.

"Is this what all the ministers are talking about?" Chongzhen had to know the news almost in the afternoon.

"Yes, some people also advocated that Ma Quanquan should do things unfavorably, 'force' the anti-court arm to help, and be held accountable to calm the resentment of the remaining wind!"

"So what is Yu Feng doing now?" Chongzhen asked.

"According to the soldiers, the soldiers and horses have not left Tianjin for thirty miles!" The one who replied was Zhu Zichu, the commander of Jinyiwei, who was also Chongzhen's most profitable minions.

"Got it, you step back first!"

Zhu Zichu quietly retreated, but Chongzhen fell into contemplation, Yu Feng's situation, falling into will not last long, the power of a city, can not support so many people and horses, and Yu Feng led the crowd to cross the sea, its grain and grass are not given, it will definitely not be too much, that is to say, from Tianjin's ' The chaos has been enough for more than 20 days so far, if he doesn't make a decision, I'm afraid that this Yu Feng will never restrain his subordinates like this for the sake of the food and drink of his soldiers and horses.

"This Yu Feng, is it a loyal minister and a good general, or a 'chaotic' minister and thief?" Chongzhen couldn't see Yu Feng's actions clearly, if it was a 'chaotic' minister and thief, now that the Jingshi is empty, how could he not know that such a good opportunity is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, when it was difficult to become an ancestor, isn't it to win the world in Nanjing, how similar this is to the beginning, but he did not move, it is clear that he has a sense of awe for the royal family, or, he even used this kind of action to show that he has no different aspirations?

However, how can he explain that he killed the officers and soldiers of Tianjin and occupied Tianjin? This kind of behavior, in terms of Bahu, is far from enough, no matter how you look at it, this "rebellious" hat, how can you run away, what is he thinking?

"What is that 'squire' man called? Where is it now? ”

"Your Majesty, in the Imperial Prison!" Zhu Zichu appeared quietly and replied.

"Let it out, take a team of Jinyi guards, let him go to Tianjin, and see what he wants to do?" Chongzhen said, after that, he thought for a while, "Call him to the palace first, I have something to ask him!" ”
