Chapter 408: Drawing lots
Abatai thought for a moment, "That's interesting....... loved Xinjueluo, but he voted for the ....... of the East thief. But in the past, everyone saw what Qinghe's battle was like, and that Oriental trading company was not easy to mess .......with. ”
Bolo said, "What about Amarna, Dolgon is going to hand over Liu Li." ”
"Deal with it, I've already tried it, although this guy has a high status in the Oriental Trading Company, his uncle is Li Zhaoji's deputy, in charge of his business and base camp, and his brother is the general of the Oriental Trading Company. But this guy is a coward, he doesn't know anything about military affairs, and he can't even play with birds.
We don't need it. Yue Le said.
Abatai shook his head: "It's not that simple. ”
Bolo said: "Yue Le, you may not know that when Luck Dehun disappeared, his fortune remembered that I had a relationship with Luck Duchun in the past, and he also came to borrow money, with a big belly, Ama looked pitiful, so he gave some food and cloth. It's just that he didn't let me see it, but after the Battle of Shengjing, he Fujin was gone.
I thought I was killed by the artillery fire of the Dongfan thieves, but after sending someone to inquire, I found out that his family was picked up by the palace. ”
"In this way, the Queen Mother already knew that Luckedhun had surrendered." Yue Le reacted immediately, and he said, "If that's the case, this matter will involve a lot of people. ”
Abatai shook his head: "What is involved, we don't care, it has nothing to do with us anyway." Bolo, you postpone the handover for two days, and I will arrange for someone to ask if there are any cronies and family members in Luckdhun. ”
"You mean, let's rely on this matter to tie up with the Oriental Trading Company?" Bolo asked.
Yue Le: "Ama, what are you doing here?" If it is known, it will be unlucky. ”
Abatai gently slapped Yue Leguang's forehead with the horsewhip in his hand, and said: "You know a fart, Dongfan thieves can fight very well, and now it is a trading company, so it will turn Liaodong upside down, and you can also see Li Zhaoji's wrist."
first cooperated with Daming, then coaxed Wu Sangui, and played the thieves in applause. This kind of person will not be just a treasurer.
He is much stronger than Old Khan. Wouldn't it be stupid for us not to take the opportunity to pave the way back?
Take 10,000 steps back and say that he can't become a climate, and he will have to deal with him in the future. We still have a lot of hostages in the hands of people in Lanqi, how many families in Zhuangtun can eat dumplings together this year? Either the man died in the family, or the wife and children were taken away. Could it be that it will be like this next year? ”
Yue Le nodded, stopped talking, and Abatai said again: "Have you finished counting the harvest you got on the other side of the Dazhuang River?" ”
At the beginning, after Li Zhaoji received the Cantonese army, he immediately retreated to Fuzhou, and then retreated to the Jinzhou fortress. And all the way south, thousands of miles of uninhabited, so Duoduo pursued all the way, the supply was difficult, and there was nothing to gain. However, Abatai led the cavalry to pursue by detour and went around to the east coast of Liaodong.
Because it was the Zhuangtun land of the Manchurian Blue Banner, it was swept away by Chen Pingbu, and Abatai was the Blue Banner.
Obviously, this was beyond Li Zhaoji and Chen Ping's expectations, and the forward cavalry led by Yue Le caught up with Chen Ping's baggage team in the Dazhuang River, which was delayed for some reason, and when it wanted to retreat from the sea to Ocean Island, a large piece of drift ice had already appeared, and the ships did not dare to dock, because they went to Jinzhou by land and were surrounded and eaten by Yue Le.
Because the enlistment was accompanied by Abatai's Niulu soldiers, after Abatai got the news, he immediately led the brigade to make a detour and quietly hid all the captures.
Yue Le said: "There are really a lot of good things, among which there are two artillery artillery carriages, and the prisoner said that they are spare artillery vehicles.
Grain and livestock were all looted from our flag, and there were also a lot of their own military supplies, mainly cured meat, ammunition and the like. ”
Abatai nodded: "You divide half of it from it and send it to each leader for everyone to celebrate the New Year, and the rest will be transported to Shengjing." Half of it goes into the house, and the other half, I have a usefulness.
Find some things to use for your life from inside, and then select a few girls from the Baoyi family and send them to Zheng Zhilong. ”
Yue Le immediately said, "Okay, give it to Zheng Zhilong." ”
The Bolo brothers wanted to run a new army, and they had already heard that when the Eastern Brigade was first established, it recruited many foreign instructors to teach firearms and formations, and it was on this basis that improvements were made to create the current Eastern Brigade.
The two brothers also heard from the wounded soldiers who came back from the gate that there were also artillery similar to the Eastern Brigade in the thieves, and the commander was a foreigner, so the two brothers also wanted to find a few foreign instructors, and it was obvious that Zheng Zhilong had this way.
"Boluo, you go to Tan Tai's house, give some New Year's gifts, and then call a few Zhang Jing who came back with him to come to the house for dinner." Abatai said again.
"Amma, why did you invite Tan Tai to dinner?" Bolo asked.
Abatai said: "You have also seen the situation in southern Liaoning, the Jinzhou Fortress is easy to defeat, and it can't even be beaten. After all, the surroundings have been robbed by thieves, and they will have to wait for next year, after Zhuangtun in southern Liaoning is restored, they will be able to support the army.
But you can't look at the thieves and the thieves so chic, so the imperial court will definitely arrange a team of soldiers and horses to confront them. This position, Amma wants to fight for. Tan Tai had just returned from southern Liaoning, and he had also spoken to Dolgon, and it was not wrong to be friendly with him. ”
Yue Le and Bolo brothers, their faces bloomed with joy, first they gave gifts to Zheng Zhilong, and then they wanted to go out of Liaonan, and they were thinking about using the matter of Luck Dehun to establish contact with the Dongfan thieves, where is this to take care of the enemy in southern Liaonan, this is to take the opportunity to do the smuggling trade.
But the two brothers don't see through it, they have been used by people for so many years, fighting life and death, and they have not reaped any benefits, and now that they are older, it is time to enjoy it.
Freshwater City.
The New Year of the first year of Hongguang began with the sound of crackling firecrackers, and last year, because of the preparations for the establishment of the Oriental Brigade and other affairs, Li Zhaoji's New Year was spent in Hong Kong, so this year's New Year was particularly lively. According to the rules of his hometown, Li Zhaoji will go to some houses on the first day of the new year every year, but there are only a few who can let him go to the door.
The first one must be Liu Mingde's family, but this does not mean that Liu Mingde's status is above Chen Liuzi, on the contrary, since coming to Tamsui, every New Year, the Li and Chen families have spent it together.
This year's first day of the new year was a bit special, Li Zhaoji did not go to the door, but packed up the main hall, but everyone who came to visit the door stayed to drink tea, and at noon, he arranged a lot drawing ceremony.
His eldest son Li Shirong was born on the fourth day of the first lunar month, and he will be one year old in a few days, so he needs to draw lots.
In addition to Li Shirong, Li Zhaoji also has a half-year-old second son, Li Shihong, who was born by Bai Mo, the wife of the Western Courtyard.
A cadre of cronies has arrived, and among the utensils used to draw lots, Gu Jinniang has prepared a few things.
Books, abacus, gold ingots, jewelry, chopsticks, rulers, celery on behalf of diligence, silver needles on behalf of doctors, and the most conspicuous thing is the rudder plate decorated with flowers, but the guests who came can add things to it, Chen Liuzi put his sailboat model in it, and Yang Yandi untied his waist knife inlaid with gems, and Tang Mu imitated a flintlock pistol with ammunition.
When everyone finished adding, Li Zhaoji took out his private seal from his arms and put it in the center.
Adults and children are watching the excitement, and the most excited is Chen Liuzi's daughter Chen Meiyu, before Li Zhaoji's child was born, although she was a girl, she was all favored by two families, and the most spoiled of them was Li Zhaoji.
What no one expected was that before Li Shirong started to act, the second son Li Shihong, who was crawling and playing on the carpet, took the lead, climbed on the mat full of things, grabbed the seal letter that Li Zhaoji had just placed there, giggled, and raised his little hand high.
Gu Jinniang's face was the most ugly, when she was preparing things, she deliberately put in things such as abacus and silver needles, trying to hide her ambitions, but in her heart she still hoped that her son could get the key thing, which was the rudder.
The rudder means that the direction is controlled, and it is the captain who controls a ship, and it is Lee Siu Kee and his heirs who control the ship of the Oriental Trading Company.
For this reason, Gu Jinniang always teased her son with the same flowers, trying to influence today's lot.
But when Lee Siu-ji put his seal there, everything changed, and that was what was bound to be obtained by drawing lots today.
But no one expected that Li Shihong would be one step ahead of others and grasp the key things.
"Put it down, let go of ......." Bai Mo snatched the seal letter from her son's hand and put it in its place, but there was a smug look on her face, which she couldn't hide.
Li Zhaoji didn't care, and smiled slightly: "Let Shirong start, see what he likes?" ”
Li Zhaoji's seal letter has already been arrested, and for Gu Jinniang, whatever she catches today will not make her happy anymore.
And Li Shirong climbed in with his chubby buttocks, he didn't seem to care about anything, knocked down the model sailboat, climbed over the seal, and rushed directly to the rudder, but did not hold it, but slapped the rudder aside, continued to crawl, until he climbed in front of Chen Meiyu, grabbed her hand directly, and laughed happily.
"Shirong, come back, draw lots, draw lots." Gu Jinniang immediately went to pull Li Shirong, who violated the rules.
But Li Shirong didn't let go, and pulled it back together with Chen Meiyu, Li Zhaoji looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and suddenly laughed and said: "Shirong, you did a good job, you have captured the most important and unique here." ”
