Chapter 174

If Cheng Shijie is not a quasi-horse, whether he can walk the road or not is not important to the imperial court.

However, he is now a quasi-concubine, and even Najiduna is gone, and there are only two procedures left: asking questions and welcoming relatives, which is a major matter for the imperial court.

No matter what the relationship between Emperor Chongzhen and Princess Le'an is, he can't find a colt for his sister who can't walk humanely. There was such a tragedy in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Princess Yongning was the fourth daughter of Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan, and her mother was the Empress Dowager of Xiaoding, that is to say, Princess Yongning was the same sister of Mingshenzong, and naturally won the favor of Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli.

However, when Princess Yongning was visiting the church, the horse suddenly vomited blood from her mouth and fainted on the spot, and it didn't take long for the horse to die with a whimper. And Princess Yongning is also pitiful, he and the horse only have the name of husband and wife for this month, but they have no husband and wife, let alone have children. Although she is a princess, the idea of "keeping festivals for her husband" is still deeply rooted in the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to remarry.

So after living alone for 12 years, he died at the age of 27. It is said that to death, Princess Yongning was a virgin.

At first, for this kind of impeachment, Emperor Chongzhen thought that he was catching the wind, after all, no one could come up with solid evidence, and Cheng Shijie was different from Princess Yongning's concubine, Cheng Shijie was physically strong, and his martial arts were strong, and he had a son and a daughter, if Cheng Shijie's eldest son could be found, his son was already twelve years old.

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it, this matter reached the ears of Concubine Li Kang, and Concubine Li Kang asked people to summon Emperor Chongzhen, although Emperor Chongzhen hated Concubine Li Kang very much, but he couldn't see Concubine Li Kang, because he was raised by Concubine Li Kang since he was a child, and Emperor Chongzhen called Concubine Li Kang's mother.

Avoiding Concubine Li Kang, it's okay once or twice, but after a long time, you can't find an excuse, after all, Emperor Chongzhen can't stand in the name of unfilial piety. was annoyed by Concubine Li Kang, and in desperation, he just summoned Gao Qi to ask.

If you want to say who knows Cheng Shijie best in the entire imperial court, it must be Gao Qiqian.

"Gao Companion, you are familiar with Cheng Qing......"

Gao Qiqian's worries about Emperor Chongzhen are very clear, because the impeachment of this crime was actually done by him, and it is rumored that he has a nose and eyes, Cheng Shijie is surrounded by Yang Yunniang, Jin Qiaoer, Jiang Xueer, Wang Wei, Feng Sanniang, Luo's total of six women, all of age, and their figures are also different.

However, the problem is that none of these six daughters has ever slept with Cheng Shijie, especially the three daughters Yang Yunniang, Jin Qiaoer, and Jiang Xueer, who are still virgins.

This situation has to be reminiscent, is Cheng Shijie really not good?

Regarding the question of whether Cheng Shijie can do it or not, in fact, Gao Qiqian has a very right to speak, and he once reported directly to Emperor Chongzhen: "Emperor, the slave has already reported this matter!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly stunned: "Has it been reported?" ”

Gao Qiqian hurriedly asked people to find the former twists, and it took half a day to finally find it, Gao Qiqian reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Slave maid...... Bathing with Shijie...... Quite majestic! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was convinced of Gao Qiqian's words.

He asked curiously, "The impeachment ...... the DPRK?"

"Those who are not envied are mediocre, you don't know, the emperor, the slave maid has received a report from the Jinyi Guard, and the rumors of Liaonan and Dengzhou have entered Beijing, I don't know if it has brought good news!"

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned: "What's the matter?" Wang Banban, go check! ”

This is the cleverness of Gao Qiqian, the good news in southern Liaoning was suppressed by Gao Qiqian, in addition to him, only Xu Guangqi may get a few words of news from Sun Yuanhua's mouth, but Xu Guangqi also faintly felt the layout of Gao Qiqian.

Xu Guangqi has been trying his best to defend Cheng Shijie, and when he learned about the potential digging of the pit, he pushed the boat down the river and began to add fire, and now the impeachment of Cheng Shijie has been close to two hundred copies, and a basket has been loaded.

Emperor Chongzhen thought of the recent wind direction in the court, and now the impeachment of Cheng Shijie is mainly in three aspects, first, Cheng Shijie disregards the overall situation and is bent on fighting to the death with Jiannu! Cheng Shijie wants to use the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to pave the way for his career, which is completely unscrupulous.

Second, Cheng Shijie did not understand Emperor Chongzhen's good intentions, and did not care about the emptiness of the treasury.

Third, Cheng Shijie has a hidden body, but he deceived the royal family, and his intentions can be punished.

Emperor Chongzhen's headache now is the rogue, in the former trilateral governor Yang He, that is, the main Zhaofu faction, the Ming court is unable to feed a large number of hungry people, and those who have surrendered have risen again. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have deceived many times, and they will rebel after recuperating for a period of time. The Ming Dynasty repeatedly suppressed the "thief army" without dying, and it was because of this kind of deception.

In fact, this problem is not to blame on Yang He, if Yang He is Cheng Shijie, as long as the hundreds of thousands of rebels surrender, Cheng Shijie will reorganize these rogues and become a hundred households in Tuntian, and they will not rebel. But the problem is that Yang He has no food and no money in his hands, so these rogues can only rebel again.

Emperor Chongzhen promoted Hong Chengchou to be the new governor of the tripartite, and in all fairness, Hong Chengchou changed Yang He's policy of "suppressing and appeasing (inducing surrender)" to "excavating with all efforts" and "suppressing and appeasing with strength, first suppressing and then appeased", and concentrated his forces to attack the Shaanxi peasant army. The peasant army suffered heavy losses, the leader Ke Tianfei was beheaded, and the general Bai Guangen surrendered. Cao Wenzhao encircled and suppressed the peasant army at Yaozhou Awl Mountain, and the leader of the peasant army surrendered after waiting for the wolf, and Hong Chengchou ordered the slaughter of 400 people, and the rest were dismissed.

It is a pity that these exile troops took the opportunity to take refuge in Gao Yingxiang, and Gao Yingxiang reorganized the exile army, which was divided into 36 battalions and had a total of more than 200,000 troops.

In August of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang conquered Daning, Xizhou, Zezhou, and Shouyang, and the whole Jin Dynasty was shaken. Encouraged by Gao Yingxiang, the homeless grass cobs in Nanzhili, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and even Fujian were greatly encouraged, and took advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers took advantage of the loss of one or the other.

They did not have the strong combat effectiveness of Gao Yingxiang's rebels, but it was enough to make the officers and soldiers anxious, and for a time, Huguang, Sichuan, and Jiangxi were on fire on all sides, and the sound of the rebels' horses' hooves resounded between the poor mountains and bad waters.

Such a critical situation shocked both the government and the opposition, and under this circumstance, Xu Guangqi, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, proposed that the Ning Navy be transferred into the customs to quell the rebellion.

At this joint, Cheng Shijie was impeached by the ministers and turned into a sieve.

The real reason for the impeachment of Cheng Shijie, Emperor Chongzhen is now clear, in fact, it is not that Cheng Shijie has done anything angry and resentful, but that Cheng Shijie worships Sun Chengzong as a teacher and is ready to use Sun Chengzong's political legacy.

Sun Chengzong is also a member of the Donglin Party, but the Donglin Party is actually just a loose political alliance, and the Donglin Party actually made a stumbling block for Sun Chengzong.

Since the collapse of the Donglin Party cabinet, the cabinet assistant minister Wen Tiren manipulated the government, he naturally did not want such a respected person as Sun Chengzong to come out of the mountain, as the elder of the four dynasties, once Sun Chengzong was still on the stage, they all had to stand aside.

With Wang Chengen's investigation, sure enough, the good news sent by the Chuanqi in southern Liaoning was suppressed.

Gao Qiqian took the good news and shouted excitedly: "Emperor, great victory!" ”

"Won?"

Emperor Chongzhen's mood was quite excited.

Gao Qiqian pretended to be even more excited: "Emperor, not only did you win, but General Cheng also beat Jiannu miserably, General Cheng beheaded Beile Mang Gurtai, Derge, and captured more than 3,000 Jiannu under Abatai, more than 8,000 Mongolians, and more than 5,000 Han troops, and captured more than 16,000 people and beheaded seven or eight thousand people!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't look at it, read it again, read it again, clapped his hands, laughed, and said, "Oh! All right! Won, Daming won! ”

Emperor Chongzhen said, fell backwards, clenched his teeth, and was unconscious.

Emperor Chongzhen was unconscious, but Gao Qiqian was frightened: "Come on, come on, pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

The imperial doctor came, pinched people again, and pricked needles, not long after, Emperor Chongzhen woke up, he jumped up from the imperial couch, didn't even wear shoes, and ran towards the outside of the hall: "I Daming won, Daming won!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen went crazy, which frightened the ministers.

Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, and Wu Zongda came over one after another, and Emperor Chongzhen at this time drank the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, which was a medicine that calmed the nerves, and Emperor Chongzhen was already asleep.

Wu Zongda asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

Gao Qi said: "Your Majesty has received a good report from General Cheng!" ”

"Good news?"

Xu Guangqi was not surprised, he had received it from Sun Yuanhua a day ago, but he was curious why the imperial court did not announce it.

Wu Zongda said: "What good news? ”

"Haizhou Baliwan victory, General Cheng beheaded more than 8,000 Jiannu, beheaded the two major Baylors of Mang Gurtai and Dege, and captured Baylor Abatai alive ......"

"What a joke!"

"How dare we joke!"

Wen Tiren hurriedly received the good news, read it at a glance and ten lines, and then looked back at it sentence by sentence, still not believing his eyes, after reading it, he read it word by word.

This is not Cheng Shijie's good news in the vernacular style, but Sun Zhilan's own handwriting, the words are extremely gorgeous, and it is extremely exaggerated......

Wen Tiren read the ten lines at a glance, his expression changed unpredictably, and finally turned into a sigh.

Cheng Shijie actually won the battle, and he beat Jiannu so badly! He didn't need to go to the number of heads one by one in person, he knew that the Ming army had really won a big victory in this battle, because there was a skill in falsely reporting the merits, if you want to pour water into the battle record, no one will write the number of beheadings and prisoners so clearly, there are whole and zero, as long as you look at the number of beheadings and the number of prisoners, he knows that the kid really led the Ming army and achieved a big victory that has not been seen for decades.

Is Cheng Shijie really Wu Qi reborn, Huo Quai's reincarnation, he is so capable of fighting!

While being shocked, Wen Tiren also felt a little relieved, this time Jiannu was really beaten to the bone, it should be stopped for a few years, right? He, the first assistant, can also be a little more relaxed.

However, this thought passed by and a sense of crisis came over like a dark cloud in June. He has not forgotten that Cheng Shijie is not only behind Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, but also Sun Chengzong, the former first assistant of the cabinet.

Now he has achieved an unprecedented victory, which will push Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong's prestige to the peak, and he cannot continue to win!

What Cheng Shijie didn't know was that he was targeted by the first assistant of the cabinet at this time, of course, he is not a person without heels, Wen Tiren is also very troubled now, and it is not easy to move Cheng Shijie, unless he first moves Xu Guangqi and then stops Sun Chengzong, but the key is that Cheng Shijie will immediately become a colt.

Xu Guangqi's face was full of red light and triumphant.

Emperor Chongzhen woke up in the middle of the night, and when he woke up, he found that Empress Zhou was actually crying.

"Queen, what are you crying about!"

"Your Majesty, what if you ...... The concubine is afraid! ”

Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his heart: "I was just so happy, I didn't expect Cheng Qing to be so powerful, ...... all of a sudden"

Empress Zhou looked at Emperor Chongzhen's face flushed, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" ”

"I'm fine!"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "I'm so happy, now I can finally feel at ease for a few years." ”

"General Cheng is really the lucky general of the Ming Dynasty."

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "In the past, everyone was afraid of Jiannu, and our army was invincible when it met Jiannu, but since he appeared, one big victory after another, Jiannu is about to make him lose his temper!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said proudly: "Yes, if we can achieve one or two more such big victories, I'm afraid Jiannu will have to kneel and beg for mercy!" It's a pity that his soldiers are still too few, if this time he commands not a motley army of 30,000 and 7,000 patchwork, but a 50,000 Ning navy, at least more than half of Jiannu's 100,000 army will have to be left. ”

Queen Zhou's beautiful eyes turned, and she said with a smile: "That's not simple, isn't it okay to give him enough exquisite 10,000 soldiers?" If 50,000 is not enough, give another 80,000! His Ning Navy is so powerful, if there are 80,000 people, I'm afraid that Jiannu will be terrified and retreat! ”

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and said: "That's right, the imperial court will pay the Dongjiang Army every year, cancel the Dongjiang Army, merge the Dongjiang Army into the Ning Navy, and then merge the Dengzhou Army into the Ning Navy!" ”

"Ahh

Cheng Shijie sneezed twice in a row, and snot bubbles came out. He rubbed his nose, took his temperature with a thermometer, found that he didn't have a fever, and muttered to himself: "I don't have a cold, why do you keep sneezing?" It can't be that my wife misses me, right? ”

Cheng Shijie during this time, attention has been on the side of the Ming Dynasty, rarely take care of the future generations, Xiang Hui did very well, her five Longyue companies are developing very well, Longyue Catering successfully won the student canteen of the sixth junior high school, and the community convenience canteen also successfully opened the second branch, which is located in the Baihua Road community canteen, the business model is the same as a store, mainly to facilitate the service of middle-aged people.

Longyue Catering Company now has two community canteens and one student canteen, and has a certain scale, which can directly purchase goods from the farmer's trade and planting company in Hanhai City, bypassing the second-tier dealers to make the difference, and can get fresh vegetables and fruits at very low prices.

Cheng Shijie only then discovered how profitable the vegetable and fruit supermarket is, in the out-of-season watermelon only costs eight cents a pound, cabbage and potatoes only need seven cents, water spinach and oilseed cabbage and other vegetables, there is no more than one dollar, but these vegetables are two or three yuan a pound in the supermarket, and the cheapest cabbage only costs two cents a pound.

In order to facilitate the transportation of vegetables, Xiang Hui purchased twelve vans in one breath, specializing in the transportation of vegetables and grain and oil.

Cheng Shijie almost didn't ask about these things, could it be that Xiang Hui was talking about himself?

At this time, the news of Haizhou's Baliwan victory also reached Jinzhou at the same time as it reached the capital. Although Jinzhou is closer to the capital, it is just that the news came later.

What made Wu Sangui most difficult to accept was not Cheng Shijie's beheading of Gurtai and Derge, nor Cheng Shijie's beheading of more than 8,000 Jiannu and achieving a big victory.

The most critical problem is that in this battle, the Guanning army dispatched 6,000 elite cavalry, and Zu Dabi and Zu Dale brothers joined forces, but they bypassed Wu Xiang and did not let the Wu clan participate.

This is almost making the contradiction between Wu Zu and the two families public, which is the most deadly.

Wu Xiang smiled bitterly: "Am I wrong? ”

In fact, there is still a clear difference between Guan Ningjun Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, Zu Dashou is also corrupt and makes money, and he will fight when it is time to fight.

But Wu Xiang is different, he does not move the soldiers, disobeys the orders of the military department, and wholeheartedly preserves his strength, which is completely wrong! The stupid practice of preserving his strength not only made him miss a great achievement, but also made Chongzhen lose the last trace of good impression of him.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty did not have the elite who could fight with Jiannu, and Chongzhen was naturally accommodating to Wu Xiang in every way, and could tolerate him eating empty salaries, tolerating him to exclude dissidents, and tolerating him to sell militaristic weapons such as grain and iron tools to Jiannu, because Chongzhen had no troops to handle except for the Guanning army.

Now it's good, in the first battle of Haizhou, the Ning Navy has emerged, and now in the Battle of Baliwan, the Zu's Guanning Army and the Dongjiang Army have also been in the limelight, in comparison, the passive avoidance of the Wu Guanning Army is particularly unbearable.

With so many strong and loyal warriors of the Iron Army, would Chongzhen still tolerate the passive war avoidance and insatiable greed of the Wu Guanning Army as before?

Ningyuan's great victory, is the strong rise of the Guanning army, and now the Ninghai Navy has established their position in Chongzhen and in the minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty with a more brilliant and brilliant victory than the Ningyuan victory and the Ningjin victory, and the pattern of the Guanning army's dominance has been completely broken.

And what's even worse is that Zu Dashou doesn't play with them anymore.

Wu Xiang is not afraid of the imperial court, his instinctive move to preserve his strength has such serious consequences!

I knew it was like this......

Wu Xiang now regrets it very much.

And Zu Dashou was a little distressed, after all, he could get his hands on the family background of 6,000 elite cavalry, the Zu family is not like before, in the past, the Zu family had a big business and wealth, but now it is not as good as before.

But the problem is that the losses are not small.

Correspondingly, Zu Dashou also won the bet, and followed Cheng Shijie to win the battle, and the gain was greater than the pay.

"Troops!"

Zu Dashou looked at Zu Kefa beside him and said, "Kefa! ”

"In!"

"Take two thousand cavalry to Liaodong!"

"Yes!"

Just when Zu Dashou decided to send troops, Wu Xiang also made up his mind: "Send troops!" ”

"Daddy!"

Wu Sangui smiled bitterly: "We only sent troops after the battle was over, isn't that a shameful laugh from the world." ”

"It's not over yet! Although Jiannu was defeated, the battle was not over yet! ”

Wu Xiang said: "With Cheng Shijie's character, he will definitely not let Jiannu withdraw so easily, he will lead the victorious division to follow Jiannu like a hungry wolf, and keep biting until Jiannu is driven back!" We are still in time to send troops! ”

"But ......"

Wu Xiang knew Wu Sangui's concerns, that is, he couldn't pull down his face.

Wu Xiang looked at Wu Sangui and said: "Uncle, you have to remember that if you want to become a winner, you must stand by the side with the best chance of winning, not be the enemy of it, no matter whether the side with the greatest chance of winning is Jiannu or Daming, or Cheng Shijie!" All honor and disgrace are not important, only the longevity and glory of the Wu family are the most important! ”

"Okay!"

Wu Sangui said softly: "I listen to you!" ”

"Actually, it's still too late, as long as we send troops, join the pursuit, and fight a few victories! Let Cheng Shijie say a few good words to us, and all this can be vaguely passed. ”

Wu Sangui said puzzledly: "Will he say good things to us?" We don't have a friendship with Ning Haijun! ”

"Friendship is a thing, friendship is not enough money to make up!"

Wu Xiang smiled disappreciatively: "Cheng Shijie can not give me face, but he can't not give face to Yinzi!" 600,000 taels of silver, a few good words from Cheng Shijie, he will definitely say it! ”

In fact, Wu Xiang was also a little less confident, he originally wanted to give 300,000 taels of silver, but he was worried that Cheng Shijie would not be able to look at it. It doubled.

In Wu Xiang's eyes, Cheng Shijie, who couldn't save face, was actually counting the silver and counting the silver of the white flowers.

If you want to beat a long-distance runner, it's actually very simple, you don't have to be better at running than him, you only need to starve him for a few days and you can easily outrun him.

Now the Jiannu army is acting as the starving long-distance runners, although they have tried their best to withdraw to the Liaozhong Acropolis and Shenyang as soon as possible.

But because the damn Ming cavalry has been biting them and not letting go, especially the despicable Mongolian cavalry, let them fight with Jiannu, they must have almost done it, but let him attack Jiannu, they can complete the task excellently. Under the attack of the Mongol cavalry like a pack of wolves, the Jiannu army could not eat enough at all, and they could not even sleep well.

The infantry of the Ning Navy led by Cheng Shijie was well fed and slept well, and they drove sixty miles a day and fought a few small battles by the way, just to eat! Jiannu, who couldn't even eat enough, ran lifeless in front, and the well-fed life was like a group of jackals that smelled blood, chasing after them relentlessly, and when they met the backward ones, they swarmed up, flayed and devoured alive, and in the long run, who the could stand it!

Huang Taiji doesn't care about how many Korean and Han clothed slaves deserted now, and they don't have the extra energy to care about these anymore, so they only care about rushing to Liao Zhongwei.

When they arrived at Liao Zhongwei, they could take a good breath, eat a few full meals, and get a good night's sleep, and when they had enough energy, whether they held on or continued to retreat, they were much more calm.

Cheng Shijie didn't know Huang Taiji's thoughts, he only had one thought: "Liao Zhongwei, it must be mine!" ”

PS: I'm very sorry, I was Kavin yesterday and I can't write anymore.
