From Jingshi to Shanhaiguan, all the way is flat!

With this kind of terrain, it is almost impossible to fight a beautiful ambush battle!

Therefore, according to Chen Qiyu's deployment, Cao Wenzhao is not going to fight an ambush war, but to "wait for work with ease"!

In order to "flank" Shanhaiguan with Huang Taiji, the Eight Banners traveled day and night; When they were twenty miles away from Shanhaiguan, they were all extremely tired!

And, just in time for nightfall!

So, the Eight Banners decided to bury the pot and cook, rest all night, and fight Shanhaiguan again tomorrow morning!

Although the plan is good, Cao Wenzhao will not give them a chance!

The three thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry and the eight thousand "Iron Armor Brocade Guards" who had been waiting here for a long time were overwhelming and suddenly killed!

The soldiers of the Eight Banners were sleepy, tired and hungry, and there was no way to avoid it, so they could only rush to the battle!

There is a huge disparity in troops, and the Ming army is almost one enemy and three!

However, this Ming army is not a cavalry battalion, but a well-equipped, battle-hardened heavy cavalry!

Inspired by the high reward, the morale of the Ming army was high, and everyone held the belief that they would win!

This battle was fought from evening to dawn, and then from dawn to evening!

More than 26,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners were wiped out!

It was only then that the soldiers of the Ming army felt hungry!

Don't bother to cut off your ears and gobble on the dough!

……

Three days later, more than a dozen sacks of ears were sent to Zunhua!

Wang Li was too lazy to count the more than five million silver tickets, and he didn't blink his eyes!

is so arrogant, I can see Chen Qiyu and Yuan Chonghuan's eyes straight!

"Factory father, didn't you say that I only need to make meritorious ......"

"Smack!"

A slap was slapped on Shang Kexi's face, and Wang Li snorted coldly: "Either keep your head, or go back to prison, choose for yourself!" ”

Hearing this, Shang Kexi's face changed greatly!

I was unwilling but didn't dare to say more, and withdrew from the hall in a gloomy manner.

"Factory, let's ...... Really going to Sichuan? ”

"You can not go, I will not stop you!"

When the sound fell, Wang Li raised his head and handed the battle report sent by Hong Chengchou to Song Zhe, and was heartbroken: "See for yourself!" I just want to ask you, tired or not? Tired or not? ”

Let's wave my hand!

Jin Yiwei brought a wooden box and put it on the table.

Wang Li took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Even in front of the Long Live Lord, I have the same words: I only like silver, and I am not interested in official positions and power!"

I also want to make a difference, but I'm really tired!

In this battle, I won more with less, and annihilated 30,000 elite eight banners in the pass, which is a rare victory after Salhu, which is enough to leave a name in history!

For me, enough is enough!

Song Zhe, you have been with me for nearly nine years, and we have always been brothers!

You go to Sichuan with me, or continue to stay in Xichang, we are all brothers!

The 20 million silver ticket is what you deserve! ”

Song Zhe didn't take a second look at the wooden box on the table, and said, "The factory should understand that we are the same kind of people!"

Nine years ago, I was just a hawker in Jingshi City, and I was bullied all day long, but I could only barely make ends meet!

I will enter the palace with you, be a guard in front of the palace of the Long Live Lord, and be the second master in the West Factory, in essence, it is also for the silver!

As long as the factory does not give up, I, Song Zhe, will always be your second master, and I will always be with you!

I mean, though...... It's really a bit wrong for us to just leave!

At least, you have to give an explanation to Long Live Lord, right? ”

"Indeed, Long Live Lord treats us well!"

Wang Li picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, the clouds were light: "The heads of Azig and Abatai, the ears of the 30,000 Eight Banner Soldiers, are my explanations to him!"

In the past nine years, I have taken a lot of money from him!

But I will give him more money, no less than twelve million.

I don't owe him anything!

Life is short, and things are impermanent......"

Wang Li changed his words, sighed lightly, and didn't want to say more.

……

The news of the victory at Shanhaiguan reached the Beijing Division, and the government and the opposition were jubilant, and everyone rushed to tell each other!

However, after receiving Wang Li's recital, Zhu Youzhen was like a wood carving, sitting in a daze for a long time!

Since the fiasco of Salhu, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, the only people who can defeat the soldiers of the Eight Banners are Yuan Chonghuan and Wang Li!

He just got a big win, why did he resign?

Could it be that Lu Xiangsheng was transferred because he overstepped his level?

No, there should be other reasons!

It's a pity that Cao Huachun didn't figure it out!

"Long live the lord, the prince sent someone to send back the seal of the West Factory, but he took away 13,000 iron horsemen, more than 8,000 foot soldiers, and more than 20,000 captured war horses, you must not guard against it!"

As soon as Wang Chengen's voice fell, Gao Qiqian continued: "Long live Lord, the resignation of the prince said that the purpose of his leading troops south was to go to Sichuan to suppress thieves and continue the previous changes;

The little slave thought that this was not credible!

He returned the seal of the Governor of Xichang, and in what capacity did he implement the law change in Sichuan?

If he didn't have the intention of rebellion, who would believe it? ”

"Father-in-law Gao, Hugh is spewing blood!"

Cao Huachun really couldn't stand it, and pointed at Gao Qiqian angrily: "The prince's recital is very clear:

He went to Sichuan this time, and after successfully exterminating the entrenched thieves, he will continue to promote the reform!

He also made a promise that the annual tax paid by Sichuan will never be less than one million!

Father-in-law Gao, have you ever seen a rebel who still pays taxes to the imperial court every year?

Besides, the prince has guns and cannons, soldiers and food!

If he really wants to rebel, he should lead his troops to attack Jingshi, instead of going to Sichuan to suppress thieves! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Huachun turned his gaze to Zhu Youzhen, and his face was solemn: "Long live the lord, the prince has no intention of rebellion!"

Perhaps, he is really tired and wants to go to Sichuan to recuperate for a few days!

The little slave thought that the resignation of the prince and the prince should not only not be approved, but should also send him a seal!

The little slave begs to go to Zunhua again, and he will be able to persuade the prince! ”

"No!"

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, his eyes were like torches: "When you arrive in Zunhua, he has already left!"

If you want to go, you should go to the Grand Canal, maybe you can intercept him! ”

"Long live Lord Shengming!"

Cao Huachun was just about to leave, but was called back by Zhu Youzhen: "It's useless if you go, I will go in person!" ”

……

The thieves in the northwest escaped and ascended to heaven, Wang Li was angry, but he didn't hate Zhu Youzhen, he just felt disappointed!

Or rather, I feel overwhelmed!

In the final analysis, the suppression of thieves in the northwest is actually an attempt to "change history"!

It's a pity that history can't seem to be changed!

In that case, there is no need to force it anymore!

Don't waste time and energy - it's better to implement your own "Plan B" and run Sichuan well!

When the soldiers are strong and strong, they will be able to compete with Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji!

If you still fail, you can only choose the last way - take your own wealth, take your wives and concubines and children, and go overseas!

Of course, these plans can only be hidden deep in the heart!

No matter how close you are, you can't tell him!

Zhu Youzhen rushed to the Grand Canal, waiting from morning to night, but he didn't see a single soldier of Wang Li!

It turned out that in the early hours of this morning, Wang Li had already left!

Moreover, he is not walking the waterway!

Hearing this news, Zhu Youzhen was silent!

Ordinary officials, even if they are the head of the cabinet, say goodbye without saying goodbye, it is not a big deal!

However, Wang Li took a large number of soldiers and horses!

This kind of behavior is no different from rebellion!

Even so, Zhu Youzhen never thought of investigating him!

Of course, there is no ability to investigate him!

It's not a question of ability, it's a matter of attitude!

Perhaps, his words were not wrong - he only liked silver and had no interest in power!

Cao Huachun was also right - if he wanted to rebel, he would have led his troops to attack Jingshi a long time ago!

Looking at the seal of the "Admiral of the West Factory" on the case, Zhu Youzhen sighed weakly and stood up tremblingly.

"Cao Huachun!"

"Long live the lord, what are your orders?"

Cao Huachun bowed down to listen, and when he saw that Zhu Youzhen wanted to speak and stopped, he hurried to his side.

After whispering a few words, Cao Huachun was shocked!

I wanted to persuade him, but Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to stop it, so he had to accept the order.

Cao Huachun left quickly, and Zhu Youzhen came to the bow of the boat, looking at the rolling Grand Canal, his fists clenched!

Sichuan's change is the last hope for a strong and prosperous Ming Dynasty!

As long as Wang Li is persuaded to do so, he will still be his own courtier, and he will still be his sharpest knife!

No matter what method is used, as long as he is still his courtier, there is hope for everything!

……

Wang Li did not take the waterway, but went south along the Grand Canal.

When he camped in the evening, he always liked to stand at the door of the tent and look at the tent that stretched for more than ten miles.

At this moment, he finally understood a "low-level" question: when a certain general rebelled in ancient times, why did the soldiers under his command obey the command!

It turned out that only a few generals at the top knew about the "rebellion"; As long as you get the support of the upper generals, it is really not difficult to "rebel"!

And the pawns under his command, as long as they have a bite to eat, there will basically be no mutiny;

As long as they can live a good life, as long as there is such hope, they will obey the orders of their superior officers!

As Song Zhe said, in the two years of the change, the families of the pawns were all received to Sichuan to enjoy Qingfu!

When I heard that I was going back to Sichuan, I was like an arrow!

Even if Zhu Youzhen's army kills, he only needs a little agitation, and the soldiers will have no hesitation - they will take up arms to defend their homeland, not to defend the Ming Dynasty!

It doesn't matter if he's Zhu Youzhen or Huang Taiji, just do it!

As long as you have the money, everything is not a problem!

"Princess, when the soldiers arrive in Sichuan, they should change their clothes, right?" Song Zhe patted his robe, and there was reluctance in his eyes: "This python robe, I really can't afford to change it, hehe!" ”

"Change, you have to change!" Wang Li twisted his neck, his face full of disgust: "This dress is really inconvenient to wear to fight!" ”

"Princess, I didn't mean that...... I mean, we're no longer from the West Factory......

After returning to Sichuan, we must also have a resounding name, right?

For example, Governor Hong's "Hong Bing", Governor Lu's "Tianxiong Army", General Qin's "White Pole Army", and the former "Qi Family Army", "Yue Family Army" or "Yang Family General" or something ......

"Well, that's a problem......

"Report ...... Factory Gonggong: Master of Ceremonies Cao Gonggong asks to see him outside the camp! ”

"Damn! This Cao Huachun is really haunted! ”

Wang Li scolded indignantly, considering that it was already dark at this time, he still ordered someone to pass him into the account.

It's just that Cao Huachun, this guy, is a little special today!

Words and deeds were all unexpected by Wang Li!

"I am grateful to be taken in by the princess, I am grateful, I am grateful!" Cao Huachun devoured a piece of bread and stretched his neck: "Don't misunderstand, I just went to the southern capital on the order of the Lord of Long Live;

If it weren't for the prince's righteous reinstatement, I, the eunuchs, would have been killed by thieves or wolves! ”

Regardless of Wang Li's doubts, Cao Huachun never mentioned other things, ate a full meal, and fell asleep!

This guy didn't persuade, Wang Li was just happy and comfortable, and he didn't bother to care about him.

At dawn, the army was about to set off, but there were a few painting boats leaning against the shore!

When I inquired, it turned out to be Wei Zhongxian's ship!

Not only that, but there is also a ship of Tenyin Pavilion!

It is not surprising that Wei Zhongxian went north to Beijing!

However, how could Tianyin Pavilion's ship go north at this time?

During this time, Tianyin Pavilion did not have arrangements to go north, and he was not notified?

Wang Li was full of doubts, but Cao Huachun didn't say much, begged for a few pieces of bread and water, and went straight to Nandu!
