"On the road? You can't go on the road! ”

As soon as Mingzhu proposed to immediately escort grain, grass, gold, silver, silk and other goods to the north, some people immediately raised objections.

Mingzhu, who has been arrested twice, squatted in prison, sat in a prison car, and suffered a lot, was shocked because of the "Li Zhongtang Northern Expedition", and when he heard that someone objected to him running away, he was annoyed at that time and cast a vicious look at that person.

The man was about forty years old and almost fifty years old, of medium height, with his temples and beard still black, and his eyes shining brightly, giving the impression of being shrewd and capable.

Seeing Mingzhu glaring at him, the man was not angry at all, just shook his head and said, "Uncle, I really can't go on the road, my Jiangbei camp really can't spare many soldiers and horses to escort you and those treasures to the north together." ”

It turned out that Mingzhu was the nephew of his own family's room, named Nala. Mu Zhan, he is the great-grandson of Jin Taishi, the head of the Jurchen Yehe Department, although he is seven or eight years older than the third pearl of the second room, he is a generation shorter.

This Nala. Mu Zhan is also one of the few people in the Qing Dynasty who participated in the last wave of the Ming and Qing wars, but he didn't participate much, just caught up with the tail, and once followed the white flag of Manchuria with the fierce general Tong Jia. Zhuo Luo went to Pingyunnan to fight Li Dingguo together, and later stationed in Yunnan for a period of time, following Wu Sangui, Wang Fuchen, and Daniel Zhang to fight Tusi leveling.

However, after finishing the level, he was thrown into idleness and sent to be the deputy capital of the Yellow Banner Manchuria, who made him the most descendant of Jintaishi? When the princes of the Aixin Jueluo family can't lead troops, how can the descendants of Jintaishi lead troops?

But as the Qing Dynasty lost several important battles one after another, Kangxi and Fuquan began to "think about the national disaster" and "think about the national disaster". Mu Zhan was naturally employed, and he was also entrusted with the important task of the head of the Jiangbei camp.

And protecting the unimpeded transportation of Jiangbei is, of course, the responsibility of Mu Zhan, the head of Jiangbei's camp. But this responsibility, he really can't afford it now. There are more than 20,000 soldiers in the Jiangbei camp, of which Shi Lang's sailors account for 10,000, and there are still 10,000 people left.

Unexpectedly, when the three major battalions of the Qing army, Jiangxi, Jiangnan, and Jiangdong suppressed Nanjing, they also squeezed out an army from Nanjing and handed it over to the little living King Lu Bu who changed his name to Li Zhongshan, and made him the governor of Jiangbei!

And this little Lu Bu is really fierce in his N, as soon as he crossed the Yangtze River, he went crazy, and directly played the banner of "Tiger Ben 3,000, straight to the land of Youyan", and within half a month after crossing the river, he went straight to Fengyang, the central capital of the former Ming Dynasty. Prince Jian Rabu, the deputy minister of the Jiangxi battalion guarding Fengyang, originally wanted to rely on Fengyang to defend the fortified city, but he fell into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, and was deceived by a small number of vanguard cavalry of the Ming army from the city Thousands of elite cavalry, and then was ambushed by "thousands of bird spearmen", and more than half of the thousands of cavalry were lost!

These are the Eight Banners!

Half of the Eight Banners cavalry was wiped out in one battle, where did the remaining Fengyang defenders dare to be tough?

The day after those defeated soldiers fled back to Fengyang City, the regimental training of Fengyang Mansion, which cooperated with Rabu to defend the city, was greatly shaken, and several regimental training leaders even began to plot to murder Rabu, the prince of Jane, and then surrender the city to Ming.

Although the conspiracy was discovered by the palace guards of Rabu and killed the leaders of the regiment in time, the remaining leaders of the regiment and the regiment below refused to give their lives, and even began to set up barricades in Fengyang City, preparing to fight a civil war with the Qing army "City Civil War". This is still a yarn! Rabu is not a demon like his great-grandfather Shuerhazi and grandfather Zierharang, and he didn't have a trick at all to take a group of Huaixi thorns in Fengyang City. Only overnight, he took the flag soldiers and the green battalion soldiers and retreated to Lujiang, and directly gave a good Fengyang City and thousands of Huaixi regimental exercises in the city to "Li Zhongtang"!

And Rabu's run made the two big camps of Jiangbei and Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty miserable.

Originally, Jiangbei camp only needed to defend the area west of the canal, and this area was blocked by Gaoyou Lake, Shao Bo Lake, Baima Lake, Sanhe, and canals, as well as Yangzhou Jiancheng and Gaojiayan. So more than 10,000 green battalion land divisions with weak combat effectiveness are enough.

However, as soon as Fengyang Mansion was lost, that "Li Zhongtang" not only got a large number of brave and warlike Huaixi soldiers, but also could directly cross Huai to attack the Middle Canal in Huaibei!

If that "Li Zhongtang" knew that Mingzhu was carrying a large amount of grain, silk, cloth, and silver that the Qing Dynasty had scavenged from the south of the Yangtze River to the north, then there was no doubt that he would come to block the road and rob it!

"Mu Zhan, you see if this will work. We can go north quietly, and we can transport grain and grass separately from silk, cloth, and silver! I will go first with silk, cloth, and silver, and you will send one or two thousand elite soldiers to escort you. ”

Mingzhu still doesn't give up, he really doesn't want to be caught again. And he still loves Daqing! Knowing that the regent of the Great Qing Dynasty, King Yu, was now in great difficulty, and urgently needed to obtain the wealth looted from the southeast.

Here, Yuan Linjing alone collected seven or eight million taels of silver from those salt merchants and private merchants in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou for Yuwang Fuquan! In addition, the old foundation of Yangzhou two Huai salt transportation yamen is one or two million taels.

In addition, now gathered in Huai'an, there are three weaving warehouses such as Hangzhou weaving, Suzhou weaving, Yangzhou weaving and other silk and cloth stored in the old foundation - that is the old foundation that the three weaving houses have stored for many years.

According to the suggestion of Mu Tianyan, the political envoy of Jiangsu, the silver deposits in the accounts of the three major weaving yamen were also used to buy silk and cloth, and almost all the silk and cotton cloth that could be bought in the market in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, and Songjiang (Songjiang cloth) were all purchased.

If the Qing Dynasty can't keep the southeast or can't maintain the Cao Yun in the end, then the silver shipped to Beijing doesn't have these silk and cotton fragrances!

And such a large sum of money is very important to either party in this troubled world!

If King Yu can get this money, then he will be completely supported.

"No, no, it's too dangerous! The wealth is moving, even if we can hide it from Wang Datou, we can still hide it from those people in Shandong and Henan."

It is said that this matter is too dangerous for Suzhou weaving Cao Xi, he was originally a Jiangning weaving, ran away during the Jiangning uprising, and then was appointed by Kangxi to weave in Suzhou.

Of course, he didn't want Fuquan to get such a large amount of money!

But he has a point!

Now the Qing Dynasty has built four feudal towns in Shandong and Henan, and there is no envoy to seal the festival - it sounds like it reminds people of the disaster of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns, so it took a step back and called the regimental training envoy.

In Shandong, two towns were sealed, namely Daniel Zhang, the training envoy of the Dongchang regiment, and Zhao Liangdong, the training envoy of the Tai'an regiment, of which Daniel Zhang governed Dongchangfu, Linqingzhou, and Caozhou, and Zhao Liangdong governed Yanzhou, Jining, and Tai'an. Both towns are along the canal

In the two towns of Henan, there are Guide regimental training envoy Shi Jiabao and Runing regimental training envoy Fan Chengxun, of which Shi Jiabao is responsible for Guide Mansion and Chenzhou Mansion are not far from the Grand Canal. And Fan Chengxun's Runing and Gwangju are relatively far away from the canal, so they shouldn't be able to rob the treasure of Mingzhu.

"How dare they?" When Mingzhu said this, his heart was very empty.

"Why don't you dare?" Mu Zhan said, "After the robbery, the Yellow River will be swept away, and the water will be rushed, and there will be no way to check it!" ”

He is worthy of being a time-honored villain!

The evil is much more ruthless than Mingzhu and Cao Xi!

"How, how is this good?" Mingzhu is a little numb, anxious numb!

In the troubled times, there is no army, and he is a rich man with a lot of wealth, and there is a wicked nephew by his side!

"Why don't you take the sea route!" Yuan Linjing, the master of the Jiangnan branch of the Ruixin Hall, gave Mingzhu a trick, "Caoyun walked through the sea at the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Huai installation ship took the Huai River into the sea, and then bypassed Shandong to Tianjin Wei. Now there is a fleet of ships that can go to Liaodong and North Korea in the Jinhaiguan Road, and if they come to Huai'an, they can pull away all the good things, and the remaining grain is not a big problem to go through the canal. ”

Grain may also be intercepted, but Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong, and Sha Jiabao will no longer be people for the sake of millions of stone grain. If they want food, they just take it directly, and the court will not pursue it.

After all, the regent is not bad for hungry soldiers!

"But Yang Qilong, isn't he Wang Datou's in-laws?" When Mu Zhan heard this, he hurriedly reminded, "What if he robs these good things and votes for the king?" ”

"That won't be," Mingzhu shook her head, then smiled mysteriously and said to her cousin, "That. . . Nalalan'er is also surnamed Yang, and she is also Yang Qilong's sister-in-law, she is now the regent's side Fujin, and she also gave birth to a big fat boy for the regent! ”

"What? And what's going on? Of course Mu Zhan knows Nala Lan'er - it's all Nala Clan, and he is the "patriarch" of Nala Clan, and he also helped with Nala Lan'er's "regularization". He can now become the head of the Jiangbei camp, also thanks to Lan'er's pillow wind.

Now that Jiangbei Camp looks a little dangerous, he still wants to ask this girl and Fuquan to continue blowing and change to a safer place.

"Then it's okay, Lan'er is his sister and my sister, then he and I are brothers!" Mu Zhan thought for a moment and said to Mingzhu, "Then let's give the regent a book!" ”

The sixth day of the sixth month of the fourteenth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.

Beijing.

In a duty room in the regent palace between the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City and the Dong'an Gate of the Imperial City, several ministers of the Beijing Left-behind Division were holding the military reports delivered by the three provinces of Shandong, Henan, Jiangsu, and the Yamen of Caoyun in 800 miles. Everyone's faces are pale, you look at me, I look at you.

Suo Etu, the foreman of the left-behind division, sat on the kang table, holding a bowl of hot tea in a daze, not moving.

The voices of the few left-behind ministers at the bottom gradually sounded.

This is all three thousand, sweeping the land of Youyan! This Wang Datou wants to learn from the Northern Expedition of the Red Turban Army, just like ending the Yuan Shangdu, and ending our Beijing City, this little Lu Bu is more ruthless than the real Lu Bu! ”

"Nonsense, Beijing City is not the capital of Yuan, Beijing City is the capital of Yuan, how many people are under this little Lu Bu? Dingtian is Huo Huo'er in Henan and Shandong, and he can't go to Beijing. Besides, since he knows about 'three thousand tigers, sweeping straight to the land of Youyan', he should also know what happened to this Red Turban Army? ”

"That's right. Then his threat to hit Beijing is a false shot. So what is his real purpose? ”

"Where else? Xi'an! He must have wanted to help Wu Yingxiong fight Xi'an! ”

"Help Wu Yingxiong? Why? ”

"Don't you know? Wu Sangui has already named his grandson Wu Shifan as his grandson, Wu Shifan's sister-in-law is Wang Datou's side room, and now most of them have been turned positive! ”

"What about the emperor? Will it be?"

Hearing that the content of the discussion turned to a sensitive topic, Suo Etu slammed the teacup in his hand and slowly raised his head: "What are you panicking about?" Is it not just a rebel straggler? It is clear that he is besieging Wei to save Zhao, and he is to relieve the siege of Jiangning's rebels. And Wang Datou is not a rogue, how can he come to Beijing? The most important thing for him now is to keep Jiangning and take Jiujiang and Anqing! With Jiujiang and Anqing, his father's Guangdong soldiers continued to go northwest of the Yangtze River. Only in this way can he secure the position of Jiangdong Cao Mengde! ”

Not to mention, this Suo Etu's eyes are still quite keen, and he can see the key to the southern battlefield at a glance - the key is not the battle of Nanjing, but Jiujiang and Anqing!

As long as Jiujiang and Anqing were still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, the anti-Qing forces in the south would be divided into two parts, and it was not impossible to communicate with each other, but it was not easy for the army to go. And once Jiujiang and Anqing are captured, the Qing Dynasty will be completely finished in Liangjiang.

The two rivers are lost, and the Qing army in Zhejiang and Fujian is also finished!

At that time, the anti-Qing forces in the south will be united. Oh, maybe two or three pieces!

If Wu Sangui and Jiangnan can reach an agreement, then the Qing Dynasty will be finished at any time, otherwise it will be able to maintain a three-point deal.

However, the Qing Dynasty is not unified now, will Kangxi lead the army back to Beijing through Wang Datou's Northern Expedition?

If he comes back to help, it will be a big trouble

Thinking of this, Suo Etu couldn't sit still, so he stood up alone and said to the ministers in the room: "I'm going to see the regent, you are all waiting here, the regent is wise and wise, let's listen to him!" ”

This. Can you be right?

What should I do if the emperor wants to come back?

The other left-behind ministers in the house didn't know that Fuquan had a "Shunzhi testament maker", and he could dismiss Kangxi at any time with an edict, so they were all worried at this moment!

No one wants to discuss Wang Datou's Northern Expedition with Suo Etu, a loyal minister who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

"Regent, the slave is wronged, and the slave is more wronged than Dou E. You know, the ancestor of the slave was in charge of the N Zifu for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was in charge of this for generations. When the Ming Dynasty was over, the slave Ama took the most beautiful N mother in the N Mansion and went to Tianjin to live a small life, and as a result, he left these few red faces and troubles for the slaves! ”

The one who was kneeling in the flower hall in the back garden of the Regent's Mansion was of course Yang Xiaohuan, Yang Xiaomi (Nala Lan'er), and Yang Ziyun's good brother Yang Qilong.

In the past two years, he has been an undercover agent playing Infernal Affairs, which is called a smooth one, and he has been carried from the clothed slave to Manchuria with a white flag (Yu Wang Fu is the owner of the small flag with a white flag)!

It's Manchuria with a white flag, not a Han army with a white flag! This time, his surname has been changed, and his name has been changed to Yang Jia Qilong! In addition to raising the flag and changing his surname, his official has also risen rapidly, and now he has become the Minister of Beiyang Commerce. Although the jurisdiction is still in charge of the Tianjin Customs Road, but the minister is big, given a positive second product!

Just when he was getting closer and closer to the highest level of undercover, Wang Zhongxiao, who had changed his name to Li Zhongshan, suddenly came to "Three Thousand Tigers, Sweeping the Land of Youyan"!

It's a great deal to play!

The Wang family divided Guangdong, and it was nothing to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, the Great Shun, and the Wu family. The anti-thief is powerful, and if he can't catch it, he can't fight it, what else can the court do? Open your eyes and close your eyes.

But Wang Zhongxiao is now going on a northern expedition to find trouble with the Qing Dynasty!

What should Yang Jia do about it?

Although his current strength is not small, he can do a big vote in Zhili. But. He is not now the head of the Saburo Xiang Society, a usury merchant in Jingshi and an early leader of the Cao Gang. It is Yang Jiaqilong, the minister of Beiyang trade in the Qing Dynasty, and the eldest brother of Fuquan, the regent of the Qing Dynasty!

How expensive is this status? Where can you say the opposite?

So he could only explain it to Fuquan and the great monk Shunzhi.

And Fuquan was very dissatisfied with his explanation, "What do you say? Who is the Rainbow Trouble? Xiao Mi is so good, how can it be a disaster? ”

Yang Jia breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Wang, you are right, Xiaomi is not a disaster, Xiaohuan is!" She followed the minions to open a teahouse outside Zhengyang Gate back then, but somehow she was taken by Wang Datou and directly arrested as a concubine! He was a guard at the time, and the minion was just a merchant, what else could he do? ”
