Chapter 357

"Dashuai!"

Listening to Yang Yunniang's slightly tired voice, Hou Yan's gossip couldn't stop him, so he bowed down and retired.

Cheng Shijie didn't need to look at Yang Yunniang's face, and knew that she hit a nail. There is not only a good side to human nature, but also an evil side. The greatest evil of human nature is to hate you, laugh at you, hate you for being poor, and fear that you are rich!

Yang Yunniang just encountered all the evil side, all along, although Yang Yunniang has always been a teacher and a mother to Feng Sanniang, a master, but she has always been eager to find her biological parents.

However, when she found it, she felt like she was in an ice cellar.

Feng Sanniang once told Yang Yunniang's life experience, Yang Yunniang was born in a merchant family, and later the family fell into the middle of the road, so she had no choice but to sell Yang Yunniang to Feng Sanniang.

Cheng Shijie was still strange at the time, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if Yang Yunniang's family declines, it will not sell children and daughters, in ancient times, it is not like later generations, businessmen are accustomed to the financial system of later generations, registered leather bag companies to avoid risks, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people will not borrow usury to do business, they all use their own money to do business, because no matter how profitable the business is, the interest rate of usury is not high, even if the business is not good, or the business is bankrupt, it is difficult to fall to the point of ruining the family, the great is not as good as before.

"What's wrong, you're not happy?"

"Did the marshal already know the slave's background?"

"I don't know!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Didn't your master tell you?" ”

"She said that she adopted me when I was six years old, and before I was six years old, I had almost no memory, only that at that time, I lived in a big house in the capital, there were many people, and there were several brothers!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Are they not doing well now? Want to ask you for money? You're not short of money now, if you want to give it, just give it, anyway, money is a thing, you don't bring it in life, and you don't bring it in death! ”

Tears appeared on Yang Yunniang's face: "Dashuai, I ......"

Yang Yunniang suddenly covered her face and choked.

"Don't cry, don't cry, what's the problem, can it be solved, can crying solve the problem?"

Yang Yunniang gritted her teeth and said: "Handsome, Yun Niang's surname is Yang, I'm afraid you can't guess, who is Yun Niang's biological father?" ”

"Who is it?"

"The former left deputy capital imperial history, the book of the military department, the prince and the prince Yang Wenru!"

"Yang Wenru?"

Cheng Shijie was slightly stunned: "Yang Lian, one of the six gentlemen of Donglin? ”

"Exactly!"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said, "How is this possible?" At that time, Yang Lian only died tragically in prison, and his house was not raided, and Chongzhen was rehabilitated in the first year, you may be sold to Feng Sanniang? ”

"Because my mother is just the maid of the lady of the main room, I was pregnant by chance, and then Mrs. Zhang died of illness, and the step-lady couldn't tolerate my mother, and my mother gave birth to my younger brother Yang Zhihuan, and Zhan saw that my mother's mother was expensive by her son, so she framed my mother for fornicating with the servant, and my mother was also a fool, she hanged herself in order to prove her innocence......"

Cheng Shijie vaguely understood why those people found Yang Yunniang at this time, after all, Yang Yunniang held Cheng Shijie's money bag, and there was too much room for operation.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to rest...... I'm so tired! ”

"What am I to you?"

Cheng Shijie was confused: "What do you mean?"

Yang Yunniang said: "I just want to know what kind of status I am in your heart...... You don't want to go on like this, hang me in mid-air, do you? ”

Cheng Shijie actually didn't know what Yang Yunniang's true intentions were? He slapped his chest and promised, "How so? I'll hold a wedding for you when I turn around, and I'll marry you in a sedan chair! ”

"Bajiao Dajiao, do you dare to think that you already have a wife, what am I in the past?"

"How could it be! I will ask the Emperor to issue a decree and make you the Lady of the Decree!" ”

Yang Yunniang pouted: "Ghost talents are rare, what is the fate of Mrs., I am still a virgin, you don't want me to die of old age all the time, right?" ”

"Look, all the flesh on my body is gone!"

"Yes, Dashuai should get better as soon as possible!"

Yang Yunniang muttered: "Dashuai, let's go back to Liaodong!" ”

"It's good!"

Cheng Shijie sighed lightly and said: "Now that the situation on the nine sides has stabilized, no one can make any waves, but there are a lot of trivial chores over there in Liaodong, and you are here again, Yongyan is afraid that he will not be able to cope with it." ”

Cheng Shijie wanted to go back, but Ning Haijun left more than 1,000 soldiers in Tianjin, stationed in Tianjin, responsible for immigration work, Gyeonggi grain panic could not be solved in a while, gathered a boatload of people in Tianjin Port, and sailed to Dayuan or Luzon, and more and more people moved into Dayuan and Luzon.

Tianjin became a transit station, and agricultural tools such as sickles, axes, and hoes from Liaodong, as well as seeds, bedding, and medicines, were directly distributed to the immigrant people in Tianjin, and the immigrant people were organized into 100 households in Tuntian, and as long as they arrived at the Dayuan, they let their families go into battle together, cut down thorns, dig up tree roots, level the land, clear stones, and dig canals......

In order to attract immigrants to settle down, Dayuan and the Luzon Management Committee began to grab people, and originally the Dayuan proposed that as long as the immigrants passed, the reclaimed land would be owned by them, which made many immigrants want to go to Dayuan. As a result, Luzon directly copied the management model of the big people and distributed houses to the immigrants.

Just when Cheng Shijie set off for Liaodong, the ancestral mansion in Jinzhou also welcomed a mysterious guest. The man wearing a white cloak and a hat pressed very low, and he couldn't see his face clearly, walked in, and the man at the head waved his hand and said loudly: "Zu Shuai, don't come unharmed?"

When Zu Dashou heard this voice, as if he had been struck by lightning, he tore off the hat, and sure enough, he saw Zu Dacheng's face clearly, Zu Dashou didn't react for a long time: "Are you still alive?" ”

Zu Dacheng was Chongzhen in the battle of the Linghe River in the fourth year, he and Zu Dashou were captured together, and the gold was lowered together, and later, Zu Dashou falsely claimed that he wanted to help Houjin take Jinzhou City, and fled back with more than a dozen henchmen, while Zu Dacheng stayed on Houjin's side.

Huang Taiji did not harm him because he was released by Zu Dashou, but on the contrary, he used him more. Later, he was appointed by Huang Taiji to participate in politics in the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Rites. This is also one of the reasons why Yanguan attacked Zu Dashou, you keep saying that you want to guard the country for Daming Town, but you left your younger brother on Houjin's side as a high-ranking official, what do you want?

In fact, Zu Dashou's idea is not difficult to figure out, at that time, Houjin was like the sky, the Eight Banners were invincible, and it was really possible to sweep the six-in-one to dominate the world, and leave Zu Dacheng there, in case Houjin really won the world in the future, he was the founder of the country, and the ancestral family was rich and noble for two hundred years, and he continued to guard Jinzhou, in case the future Houjin lost power, Zu Dacheng could also act as an internal response, and made a big share of the war in the battle to destroy Jin, which is called two-headed betting, no matter which one loses and which one wins, the ancestral family is the winner.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, but for more than 2,000 years, in troubled times, didn't those families do this? But he never expected that after the Battle of Dalinghe, the power of the Houjin Kingdom would decline so quickly, and this two-headed betting practice would also become a stinky chess, making him attacked.

"Big brother, where are you talking about this? Do you still want my third brother to die? ”

"Less nonsense, what the hell do you want to do?"

"Big brother, I'm here to save you!"

"Help me?"

Zu Dashou sneered with a sneer on his face: "Why do I need you to save me? Don't think that Ben Shuai doesn't know, the Naning Navy has successively conquered Shenyang, Kaiyuan, Fushun, and the entire Liaodong, is there still a place for Jiannu? ”

"Big brother, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!"

Zu Dacheng said: "Dajin is different from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty needs a lot of cities, but also needs a lot of arable land, but Dajin is a nomadic nation, now the three parts of Mobei Mongolia have been wiped out, and its remnants have been swallowed by Dajin in one go, from Horqin to Hulunbuir, even the birthplace of Genghis Khan, was taken down by Dajin......"

"Ridiculous?"

Zu Dashou sneered: "Reversing black and white, distorting facts, and clever words, what good is it in front of someone?" Haven't you been beaten by Cheng Shijie to the point that you don't even have the capital of Shenyang? Who else can you fool? ”

"Big brother, Dacheng wants to give it to you, but it's from the dragon's work!"

Zu Dashou frowned, and was shocked: "You are going to send the entire Zu clan to a dead end!" ”

Zu Dacheng said: "Big brother, what has happened these days, I'm afraid you have also heard that my King Dajin Khan is eloquent, resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and has the qualifications of the emperor." Now that the Ming court is dark, traitorous ministers are in charge, the king is mediocre and incompetent, natural disasters are frequent, and the people are struggling to make a living, it can be seen that the will of heaven is no longer in the light! And my Dajin Dynasty is peaceful, the soldiers are strong and strong, the fierce generals are like clouds, the ministers are like rain, the country is thriving, and now the heavens are descending auspicious signs, the emperor has become a meteorological situation, and the whole country is looking forward to it, looking forward to the Khan King ascending the throne and then obeying the mandate of heaven, raising troops to attack Ming! ”

Zu Dashou sneered with a sneer on his face: "I escaped with my tail between my legs, and I tried to defy the sky?" It's really a shame. ”

"Big brother's words are wrong! The omen of the destiny of our Dajin has long appeared, and in the battle of the Daling River, there is a blue light that penetrates the dense fog to illuminate the Ming army's military camp, so that our army can win a great victory without much effort; In this year's battle of the Great Wall, our army retreated, what is this not providence? ”

Zu Dacheng sighed and said: "Big brother, what auspiciousness, what national fortune, that's all false, don't mention it for the time being, just like Cheng Shijie who turned the tide this time, he led the Ning Navy to fight bloodily, wiped out the Shetu Khan, and defeated the Chechen Khan, especially in Lanzhou, his 20,000 elite elites are almost exhausted, but look at what the imperial court gave him?" Why should you be rewarded for such a great achievement? At least enough to be in the cabinet, right? ”

Zu Dashou nodded and said, "The imperial court also has difficulties in the imperial court?" ”

"Difficult, what is difficult? As the big brother said, reversing black and white? ”

Zu Dacheng said: "It's the same as Cheng Shijie, but he can't get a fairness, what are you doing to be loyal to him in such a court?" Big brother, since the third year of the Apocalypse, you have also led the ancestral army and Jiannu to fight hard again and again, but what did you get in exchange? Is it reuse? No way? What you get in exchange is only suspicion, just being left out in the cold, just like this time, if Chongzhen Xiao'er lets the eldest brother lead the Guanning army into the customs, our Dajin will shed its skin even if it doesn't die, but what is the result? Would you rather miss the fighter than let your eldest brother gain an inch, this is the court to which you are loyal? ”

Zu Dashou is actually very disgusted with some people in the imperial court, some practices, since he was pitted in the battle of the Daling River, he sat in Jinzhou and did not move the nest, if the imperial court wanted to transfer Guan Ning into the customs, he also transferred the Guan Ning army, but the Guan Ning army transferred into the customs is all meat buns and dogs, there is no return, first Cao Wenzhao and his subordinates died tragically, Sun Xianzu changed the court, and successively sent into the nine thousand Guan Ning army cavalry, now less than four thousand. Either killed or annexed.

"All of this, one after another, all show that the destiny of heaven is in my big gold and not in the clear! Now that the King of Khan is ready to comply with the mandate of heaven and ascend the throne to defeat the Ming, the Ming court is weak, how can he resist my hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners strong army? Sweep Liuhe, unify Shenzhou, and wait for idle ears! King Khan cherishes the talent of his eldest brother, and hopes that the general can obey the mandate of heaven and help me Dajin complete the great cause of cutting down the Ming, and after winning the world, King Khan is willing to treat each other as a brother! ”

Zu Dashou sneered: "Dominate Shenzhou? What a big breath! You just lost Shenyang, Fushun and Kaiyuan, and suffered a big defeat, right, and forgot about it so quickly? Daming has more than two million elite soldiers and strong generals, how can he swallow it up by his gang of foreign barbarians? ”

"Big brother, you are familiar with the history of the military book, you should know that the soldiers are expensive, not much! The Ming court claims to have a million male divisions, but in fact, what can enter the eyes of the Khan King is nothing more than the two new armies of Ninghai and Tianxiong, more than 100,000 people. ”

Zu Dacheng said: "Xiang Bawang is only 8,000 Jiangdong disciples, Sun Ce is only 7,000 people, and as a result, one is ruined to destroy Daqin, and one tiger is based in Jiangdong, and the world is divided into three parts!" My Dajin has more than 100,000 Eight Banner Force, countless Mongolian tribes attached to him, mobilizing 300,000 troops and other idle ears, and the Ming Court is weak, and in front of my army is just a pile of rotten wood, which will fall down when pushed! The one who is jealous of the king of Khan is just the mountain and sea Xiongguan guarded by the Guanning army, as soon as the mountain and sea Xiongguan is opened, my big gold iron horse will dominate the world, and there will be no resistance! Providence is like this, I believe that the eldest brother is so smart, he shouldn't do stupid things against the sky, right? ”

Zu Dashou said coldly: "I am favored by the emperor, and I should be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, how can I be a jackal for the tiger and help the abuse?" Dacheng, everyone has their own ambitions, you want to be loyal to Huang Taiji, and you should be loyal to Huang Taiji, as for persuading me, you still have to die of this heart! ”

Zu Dacheng was not angry, but smiled sadly and said, "Big brother, at this point, do you still want to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zu Dashou's face changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

Zu Dacheng said leisurely: "King Khan is a person with clear accounts, every time he trades with the Guanning army, the amount of silver and grain transactions, and the name of the person who handles it, he will write it down in great detail, and the number of enemies destroyed in each battle, and the fortifications destroyed, also have to remember clearly, over the years, he has accumulated a thick book, big brother, you say, if the King Khan gives this account book to Zhu Youzhen's child, let him know that he has worked hard and does not hesitate to force the world to rebel. At least sixty percent of the military rations collected by many local officials ended up in the grain depot in Shenyang, what would he think of you? ”

Zu Dashou was shocked and changed color! In recent years, the generals of Liaoxi have really done too many unsightly things, excluding dissidents, greedy for ink, investing in enemies, eating empty salaries, and falsely reporting their military exploits...... This pile, one by one, is all a capital crime!

Especially when there was a great hunger in the northwest and cannibalism, selling military rations to Houjin was even more unforgivable, once these scandals were made public, not to mention what Chongzhen thought of them, the people of the whole world would drown them with a mouthful of saliva! Not to mention Chongzhen's notoriously mean and unkind, irritable and eager, with this excuse, how could he tolerate Guan Ningjun!

"So what? Cheng Shijie also sold grain to Jiannu, from last winter to ......"

"This is different, although the Ning Navy also sells grain to Dajin, but they suddenly attacked Shenyang and captured Shenyang, this matter is simply unproven! What's more, the Ning Navy has risen, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are stronger than the Guan Ning Army and the Tianxiong Army, even if the imperial court is dissatisfied, they can only endure it! ”

Zu Dacheng smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you have no way out!" If the two new armies of Ninghai and Tianxiong have not yet risen, even if Zhu Youzhen knows these things, I am afraid that he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and turn a blind eye, but now these two new armies have become the pillars of the country in Daming Town, and any one of them is a hundred times stronger than the Guanning army! ”

Zu Dashou closed his eyes in pain. Although Zu Dacheng didn't say it, he also knew that now that Chongzhen had these two strong armies in his hands, Zhu Youzhen might not tolerate him anymore!

Zu Dacheng continued: "Even if he doesn't move you now, once Dajin is defeated, he will settle accounts after the autumn, hehe, I'm afraid that even if the general wants to let go of his authority, he won't be able to return to his hometown to be a rich man!" ”

Zu Dashou's hand trembled slightly, barely stabilized his mind, stared at Fan Wencheng, and asked word by word: "Dacheng, are you...... Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”

Zu Dacheng said with a wry smile on his face: "Big brother, don't be naïve, now the strength of the Guan Ning army is not as good as the Ning Navy, and the Ning Navy will kill the prison army Li Guofu openly, and the court can only endure it." But they are worried that there is no place for this fire, big brother, there are Jinyi guards in your house, and those Jinyi guards happen to be interested in this dragon work, if I die, he will immediately send the news of your meeting back to Jingshi, and at the same time report everything he knows, maybe some things he didn't know originally, big brother, are you really ready to be ruined? ”

Zu Dashou's hands trembled even more...... He didn't, everything he did was for his own glory and wealth, and for the glory of the ancestral family! Once the rumor leaks, not to mention anything else, just by publishing it in the newspaper, he will immediately be ruined, and the entire family will be finished, and he will never be able to turn over!

Bet on both ends, sometimes only two ends will be lost!

I don't have a choice, I don't want to be ruined, and I don't want to be punished by the mean and unkind Son of Heaven, so I can only cooperate with Houjin...... And in the future, the terrifying combat power of the Golden Eight Banner Force, coupled with more than 100,000 Guan Ning troops, may really be able to capture Beijing and sweep North China?

In case it can't be done, retreat to Liaodong, the Ning defense line is there, and it is not so easy for the Ming army to think about them, no matter what, the ancestral family can be preserved......

This dangerous thought is like a pipe gushing, and as soon as it appears, the entire psychological defense line collapses, and it can no longer be controlled.

"Konin Navy?"

Zu Dacheng said: "Cheng Shijie is not bad to the second brother, taking advantage of the heavy losses of the Ning Navy this time, the eldest brother can let the second brother come forward and ask Cheng Shijie to buy some artillery, presumably Cheng Shijie should not refuse!" ”
