Chapter 265

Different from Cheng Jiayue's anxiety, Cheng Jialong found himself traveling through an inexplicable and wonderful time and space, and his biggest feeling was excitement, especially looking at the guards at the door, looking respectful to himself, which made Cheng Jialong feel a little floating.

Of course, as a second-year junior high school student, Cheng Jialong has a basic understanding of history, and from the sideburns of these guards, he found that he should have traveled to time and space above the Qing Dynasty, and his eyes fell on the knife on the guard's waist.

Cheng Jialong looked at the guards and said, "Show me your knife!" ”

"Yes!"

The guard did not hesitate, immediately untied the saber, and handed the knife to Cheng Jialong along with the scabbard made of calfskin.

Cheng Jialong took the knife, feeling very familiar, Cheng Shijie placed a knife at home, it is this system, Cheng Jialong, who did not say that he had no skills, also asked Cheng Shijie why he bought an Oriental knife, Cheng Shijie told him very solemnly that this was a Tang horizontal knife.

Although the appearance looks like an Oriental knife, the difference between the Tang horizontal knife and the Oriental knife is that the Tang horizontal knife is a straight knife, and the Japanese knife is a scimitar.

Looking at the Tang Hengdao in his hand, Cheng Jialong was even more happy, because Cheng Shijie had popularized historical knowledge for him, in ancient times, Gongzi was not called casually, the son of the Duke of Guogong could be called Gongzi, and it was actually wrong to call a man a man casually in film and television dramas, at least before the Song Dynasty, Gongzi could not be called casually.

Tang Hengdao is in hand, which most likely means that this is in the Tang Dynasty, and the guards call themselves the eldest son, doesn't that mean that he has the identity of the son of the Tang Dynasty?

Cheng Jialong is not quite sure now whether he is soul crossing or body crossing, if it is soul crossing, the guards will not find out that he is an impostor, but his parents and sisters will definitely find out.

Cheng Jialong, in line with the principle of talking less and observing secretly, was ready to return the knife to the guards, however, at this time, he felt that he was not dreaming?

Immediately, Cheng Jialong took his finger and lightly scratched it on the blade.

"Shhh

Cheng Jialong obviously felt the pain, and looking at the blood flowing from his fingers, he was even more excited: "Lao Tzu is not dreaming!" ”

The guards watched Cheng Jialong's fingers bleed, and they were suddenly shocked.

"Don't be afraid!"

Cheng Jialong returned Tang Hengdao to the guards, and then said with a smile: "Is there anything to eat, this son is hungry!" ”

"Immediately notify the kitchen and prepare a meal for the eldest prince, I don't know if the eldest prince has any special instructions!"

"No, this son is not taboo!"

Cheng Jialong turned around and returned to the study, he was ready to have a deeper understanding of this strange era, and now he was probably sure that he should have come to the Tang Dynasty. But I'm not sure if it's the early Tang Dynasty, the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, or the Late Tang Dynasty.

If it was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and Li Zhi were emperors, then they would have to be careful, honestly pretend to be their grandsons, learn from Sima Yi, and kill the two of them, as long as Li Shimin and Li Zhi died, the other Tang Dynasty emperors would not have to worry.

If it's the late Tang Dynasty, then you're going to be ready to rebel?

But the key is what to do with my parents in this time and space? If they found out that their son had changed someone, would they kill themselves?

Or, strike first, parents sacrifice to the sky, and the mana is boundless?

Cheng Jialong is also thinking about the problem, do it yourself next? Is it like the protagonist in the time travel, going against the sky, or eating and waiting for death?

Eating and waiting for death doesn't seem to be his own style, in later generations Cheng Jialong's heart is actually very high, he has been studying for many years, practicing sanda, the purpose is that one day, he can get on the ring, win the game, and become a sports star like the Grim Reaper.

Just when Cheng Jialong was thinking about it, he found a sharp knife from the desk, this kind of knife, only about ten centimeters long, with a handle, less than twenty centimeters, only a finger-wide blade, Cheng Jialong hurriedly put away this knife in case of emergency.

Just when Cheng Jialong just put away the knife, a gust of fragrant wind struck, ringing dingdong, skirts fluttering, more than a dozen beautiful maids came in a hurry, and the exquisite dishes in their hands, abalone, sea cucumbers, shark fins caught from the sea, pheasants, wild deer, goats, lambs, fat cows, and big fish caught in the river were made into delicacies and sent up, and none of the dozens of dishes were the same.

Of course, considering that Cheng Jialong is not very old and does not eat much, the amount of these dishes is not large, such as abalone, only two for one plate, sea cucumber is only three slices, as for pheasant and beef, there are only four slices of meat, this is very similar to those big hotels in later generations that slaughter people and do not pay for their lives, and one person eats more than a dozen dishes, and he may not be able to eat enough.

"I'm grass, it's rotten enough, Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, but I like it!"

Cheng Jialong picked up the chopsticks and began to gobble up, but just after two bites, Cheng Jialong realized that something was wrong, how could he be regarded as a wealthy son of the Tang Dynasty, how could he have no etiquette?

Cheng Jialong has received etiquette training from the school, in fact, he doesn't need to study deliberately, Tiancheng School is an elite school, and the tuition fee for a semester is more than 20,000 yuan, anyway, it is impossible for working-class children to go to school in Tiancheng, because forty or fifty thousand yuan a year, ordinary families really can't afford it.

When they were in school, their teachers would teach them two etiquette lessons every week, and Cheng Jialong knew a little bit of fur, the so-called aristocratic etiquette, a gentleman and a lady, smile before speaking, and bow at every turn.

Cheng Jialong became serious, tried his best to make a smiling expression, and said to the maids around him: "Thank you!" ”

This flattered the maids. In fact, most of the maids in the Cheng Mansion are the palace ladies who are married by Zhu Weiyuan, although they are older, but these palace ladies have received royal training, and they all have an elegant temperament in their every move.

"Madame has arrived!"

There was a singing and cheering outside the door, and Cheng Jialong hurriedly got up.

When Zhu Weiyuan walked in with Gu Ziyi, Cheng Jialong kept staring at Zhu Weiyuan, Zhu Weiyuan, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, seemed to Cheng Jialong Zhu Weiyuan was like a fairy who came out of a painting, she was really beautiful, but this is too young, right?

Cheng Jialong looked at Zhu Weiyuan in a daze, a little at a loss.

Zhu Weiyuan stared at Cheng Jialong and asked lightly, "You are Cheng Jialong?" ”

"It's a child visiting his mother!"

Cheng Jialong didn't know what to think, so he felt that as the eldest son, he should meet his wife as a child.

Hearing Cheng Jialong call Zhu Weiyuan's mother, Zhu Weiyuan instantly lost her temper.

You must know that she is good to Cheng Jiayue in every way, but Cheng Jiayue is only willing to call her aunt, never her mother, but Cheng Jialong, who calls her mother when they meet for the first time.

"Good boy!"

Zhu Weiyuan stepped forward and took off the jade pendant on her body casually.

This is a jade pendant shaped like a chime, with a dragon pattern carved on it.

Cheng Jialong stretched out his hand to take this jade pendant, because Cheng Shijie opened the Longyue antique shop in the later generations, Cheng Jialong would also go to the store to play, and learned the basic knowledge of jade identification from the chief appraiser in the store.

Cheng Jialong could judge that this was a piece of Hetian jade made of mutton fat jade, and it was a treasure-level jade, and this piece would be worth the sixth in the future.

"Thank you for your mother's reward!"

Zhu Weiyuan looked at Cheng Jialong's eyebrows dancing, and said with a smile: "Purple clothes!" ”

"The slave is here!"

Zhu Weiyuan smiled and said, "Go and let the tailor come over and make a few clothes for the eldest prince!" ”

At this time, Cheng Jialong was wearing a denim suit, which was also the so-called beggar suit in later generations, in Zhu Weiyuan's opinion, Cheng Jialong estimated that he suffered a lot, looking at his hands were much rougher than Cheng Jiayue, and his skin was slightly dark, and the joints of his fingers also grinded out calluses, which should be a lot of work.

Of course, Zhu Weiyuan's judgment was wrong, this was Cheng Jialong's practice.

After all, Cheng Jialong is thirteen years old, and he is well nourished in later generations, although Cheng Jialong is only thirteen years old, he is already 1.72 meters tall, and it is estimated that he can grow to the height of Cheng Shijie in a year at most.

Zhu Weiyuan and Cheng Jialong are not related by blood, so they naturally need to be avoided.

After Cheng Jialong hurriedly finished eating, Gu Ziyi took the tailor to measure Cheng Jialong's body and prepare to sew clothes.

"Sister!"

When Cheng Jialong's body was measured, Cheng Jialong tried to ask, "What did my father do?" ”

"It's not big, it's not small!"

Gu Ziyi deliberately said with a straight face: "I'm my aunt." ”

"Auntie!"

Cheng Jialong seems to understand, this Gu Ziyi is his father's concubine, the ancient lady is a maid, and she is generally a concubine, looking at Zhu Weiyi is already too young, and then looking at Gu Ziyi, she is sixteen or seventeen years old, not a few years older than herself, Cheng Jialong muttered in his heart that his father is also an old cow eating tender grass.

Cheng Jialong's clothes were just measured, and the tailor asked people to send some adult clothes for Cheng Jialong to try on, there was no way, his figure was taller than most adult men in the Ming Dynasty, and he wore adult clothes just right, not big or small.

Just when Cheng Jialong had just dressed.

"Brother!"

Cheng Jialong was startled, he thought he was hallucinating. Although Cheng Jiayue didn't tell him when he died, he still knew that Cheng Jiayue's little sister was gone.

Could it be that she, like herself, also traveled to the Tang Dynasty because she died?

Until now, Cheng Jialong thought that he had crossed the Tang Dynasty.

Cheng Jiayue came to Cheng Jialong, and Cheng Jialong repeatedly confirmed that Cheng Jiayue was not dead, but a living person, with a shadow on his body and a temperature on his face.

"Jiayue, you want to kill me!"

Cheng Jialong was about to ask about this time and space through Cheng Jiayue, but Cheng Jiayue pulled Cheng Jialong to the Panda Pavilion.

"Brother, what do you think this is?"

"Panda!"

"This is my giant panda, if you want a giant panda, just ask Aunt Zhu for it, she can find a giant panda!"

Cheng Jiayue began to show Cheng Jialong her good things, such as the beautiful and cute Shih Tzu, the noble and elegant Persian cat, and the peacock.

The most important thing is that Cheng Jiayue also has his own exclusive carriage.

"Brother, let's go out and play!"

"Good!"

Cheng Jialong also happened to want to ask Cheng Jiayue about the Tang Dynasty, he and Cheng Jiayue got into the carriage, came out of the Ning Navy General Mansion, and watched the people coming and going on the street.

Cheng Jialong noticed the ground: "It's actually a cement road!" ”

"What's there to be curious about the cement road!"

Cheng Jiayue pointed to the guards following behind him: "Do they still have guns?" ”

"What era is it?"

Cheng Jialong saw a newsstand on the side of the street that had disappeared in later generations, a small boxy house, hung with all kinds of newspapers and magazines.

"Stop!"

The coachman hurriedly stopped, and before the coachman put down the bench of the carriage, Cheng Jialong jumped out of the carriage, took three steps and made two steps, and came to the newsstand, only to see the "Liaodong Times", "Liaodong Business Daily" and various newspapers, Cheng Jialong casually picked up a copy of the Liaodong Times, only to see the headline on the front page read: "Sun Chuyanggong, the former governor of Denglai, was promoted to the governor of Caoyun and the governor of Lu, Feng, Huai, and Yang!" ”

The detailed report in the newspaper is because Li Zicheng attacked Guidefu, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, led the Denglai New Army to the west to support Guidefu, and defeated Li Zicheng's army, because he was promoted to the governor of Caoyun, and also the governor of Lu, Feng, Huai, and Yang, Denglai New Army was 6,000, and the Ma Army was 2,000 and 5,000 were pro-army and stationed in Fengyang.

"Li Zicheng, isn't this the end of the Ming Dynasty?"

Cheng Jialong found the time of the newspaper, and the time when it was published at this time was indeed February 26, the eighth year of Weiming Chongzhen.

Only then did Cheng Jialong understand that he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

"It's over, and I don't have a chance to be a gentleman!"

Cheng Jiayue has not studied history, and is not very familiar with the general trend of history, but Cheng Jialong has learned, he knows that this is the last year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated heavy and difficult to return, drought, locust plague, waterlogging, hail plague, endless natural disasters and man-made disasters will force the peasants to ruin their families, and finally in order to survive, they will rise up, Shaanxi, Xishan, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Sichuan, beacon fires everywhere, killing rivers of blood, and human life is cheaper than ants in such troubled times.

After a brutal battle, Li Zicheng finally broke into Beijing and sent the Ming Empire, which lasted for nearly three hundred years, to the grave. Then, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Li Zicheng was defeated, and barbarism once again defeated civilization, Jiading three massacres, Yangzhou ten days, Huguang filled Sichuan...... Half of the flowers and trees were stained with blood.

Cheng Jialong, welcome to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"Fuck, it's the end of the Ming Dynasty!"

Cheng Jialong was scared, he scolded at the sky: "God, you play me, you want to play me to death, right!?" God, you heard, thunder! Strike me with a thunderbolt and send me back to the modern age, so I don't want to stay in this troubled world......"

Just when Cheng Jialong was stunned, Cheng Shijie came, in fact, he originally came with Cheng Jiayue, but because Zhang Xianzhong, like history, broke Gushi in Henan and Huoqiu in Anhui and other prefectures and counties, and pointed directly to Fengyang, the central capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops surrounded Fengyang City in the foggy early morning. In less than half a day, he completely annihilated the 20,000 officers and soldiers guarding Fengyang, killed the guard general Zhu Guozheng and others, captured Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, and sentenced him to death after counting his crimes in front of the people. Zhang Xianzhong distributed the fruits of victory and the grain in the treasury to the local poor peasants, also called the peasants and the people of the four towns, cut down hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses in the imperial mausoleum, and also demolished the surrounding buildings and the Longxing Temple (also known as Huangjue Temple) where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk, and then dug the emperor's ancestral grave, and at the same time killed all the rich households in Fengyang.

When Emperor Chongzhen learned the news, he immediately put on mourning clothes and ran to the Taimiao Temple to cry loudly; He also ordered the court officials to dress vegetarian and handle official business to express their condolences. Emperor Chongzhen removed the post of the secretary of the military department, cut off the heads of the governor of Fengyang and the governor of the imperial history, and pulled out the governors of the five provinces who had long been dismissed and idle, and condemned them to death. Despite this severity, the officers and troops still could not stop the attack of Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

After Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang, he waved his army south, and successively conquered Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui), Anqing, Hezhou, Chuzhou, in history Emperor Chongzhen had no way, but in this time and space, Emperor Chongzhen still had Cheng Shijie to use, so he quickly rejected the request of the King of Liao to change the fief, and gave Cheng Shijie an order to let Cheng Shijie lead the Ning Navy south to quell the rebellion.

Cheng Shijie was delayed when receiving the holy decree, and he never thought that Cheng Jialong would yell on the street and lose Cheng Shijie's face.

"Go home!"

Cheng Jialong looked at Cheng Shijie with an unkind face, and said anxiously: "Dad, my father, don't you know what era it is?" ”

"Do you think I'll know?"

"Since you know, why don't you pull the flag and rebel?"

"I'm against you, a big-headed ghost!"

Cheng Shijie spent half an hour telling Cheng Jialong and Cheng Jiayue what happened in the past few years when he came to the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Jialong knew that he was now the young marshal of the Daming Ning Navy, and he was also the prince of Haiguo, and he also knew that his father Cheng Shijie was now the biggest warlord in the Ming Dynasty.

Getting these things, Cheng Jialong breathed a sigh of relief.

With my father's army of two or three hundred thousand, my life can be saved.

Since Cheng Jialong came to Daming, Cheng Shijie naturally took Cheng Jialong to meet with the generals of the Ning Navy and all the commissioner-level officials of the Liaodong Management Committee.

Cheng Jialong, who was dressed in fancy clothes, was very excited, and only then did he know how much foundation Cheng Shijie had earned.

"Meet the eldest prince, meet the young marshal!"

Cheng Shijie took Cheng Jialong to attend the military conference of the Ning Navy, and the people who participated in this military conference were all attended by generals such as Zhang Yu, Shen Mingyu, Chen Guodong, Zhou Yandong, Zhou An, Meng En, Zhao Wencai, Qiao Siniang, including Li Zhixiang and Yuan Shiliang.

At this meeting, Cheng Shijie said straight to the point: "Your Majesty's holy decree has been issued, and the fire ticket of the military department has also been sent to the General Staff, what to do, you all know it, right?" ”

The generals shouted in unison: "It's clear! ”

Cheng Shijie said: "This time to send troops to quell the rebellion, Ben Shuai never doubted that our Ning Navy could tear those damn rebels to pieces with an overwhelming advantage, my biggest headache is that these rebels have encapsulated hundreds of thousands of people, and these people are the human resources we need the most!" ”

Luzon's clearance work is continuing, whether it is Dayuan, or Luzon, including Medan needs a population, for immigration to Liaodong, the common people are not afraid, after all, Liaodong is now very famous and rich, but Luzon and Dayuan, the living environment is not good, and the people are unwilling to go.

If you want to emigrate, you can only use coercive means, and counterinsurgency like this, directly capturing the rebels and their families, is the most cost-effective immigration work.

Zhou An got up and said: "Marshal, we can now dispatch at least three ships with more than 3,000 materials, plus the main fleet of the Ning Navy Naval Division, it is better to directly send the troops to Wusongkou, change to a sand boat, go upstream, control the Yangtze River, and block Zhang Xianzhong's troops in the north of the river!" ”

In the eyes of the General Staff of the Ning Navy, this is actually just an armed march, and the most critical and troublesome work is to transport a large amount of food and capture these rebel populations.

The way of water transportation, from the Yangtze River to the north, belongs to the most trouble-free thing, once to the north of the Yangtze River, then it is not a big problem, you can capture the people, let them use the way of manpower transportation, the military rations to transport up.

In this combat goal, Cheng Shijie is ready to pack the people of Jiangbei together with the good people, and is ready to immigrate more than one million people at one time.

Since ancient times, water transport has been the most convenient and cost-effective mode of transportation, since the Qin and Han dynasties, the emperors of successive dynasties dug a large canal, connecting the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Huai River and other water systems, this Grand Canal is the blood vessels of ancient China, a steady stream of blood to the center of the empire, the achievement of the prosperity of the north for thousands of years. 、

However, with the flooding of the Yellow River, the siltation of the river, and the ineffective dredging of the canals, since the Song Dynasty, these ancient canals have been silted up one after another, losing their ability to carry water. The Ming Dynasty fixed the capital of Beijing, Caoyun moved eastward, the canals of the Central Plains and Guanzhong completely lost their strategic significance, and the Ming Dynasty never made great efforts to rectify these inland canals.

How convenient it would be if the inland canals were still unobstructed. It's a pity that these canals are now clogged up.

The plan was quickly formulated, and Cheng Shijie personally led a total of more than 18,000 people from the Guards Division, the Cavalry Division, and the Artillery Division, while Zhou Yandong, Chen Guodong, and Sun Zhili stayed in Liaodong.

At the same time, those who stayed in Liaodong also included Cheng Shijie's eldest son, Cheng Jialong, the eldest son of Cheng.

Cheng Jialong's return has greatly increased the confidence of Liaodong Ninghai Group, and now Cheng Jialong is thirteen years old and is about to become an adult. The Ming Dynasty stipulates that all men who are 16 years old (imaginary age) and all women who are 14 years old or older, and listen to marriage", that is, if a man and a woman want to marry, the man must reach the age of 16, and the woman must reach the age of 14.

And Cheng Jialong will be fourteen years old, and he can get married in two years at most.

Cheng Shizhuo, Zhu Weiyuan, Cheng Jialong, and Cheng Jiayue came to see him off.

"Jialong, be obedient at home!"

"Dad, don't worry, I will be obedient!"

Cheng Jialong said sincerely.

Cheng Shijie looked at Cheng Jialong and said: "You are my son, as soon as you pout, Lao Tzu will know what you will, Yongyan!" “

"Dashuai!"

"This handsome horsewhip will be given to you, if Cheng Jialong is disobedient, I will be pumped to death!"

Cheng Shijie replaced the horsewhip in his hand with Sun Zhixi.
