Chapter 60 Hui Ming 43
The camp of the guards was at the other end, there were all kinds of tents and other things to protect against the cold, and the two armies were isolated from those hungry people, and Wang Dan could also buy some tent items from the merchants of Calradia through the guΓ² nameplate, but Wang Dan had the intention of guarding against people, so he did not provide tents and other things for the homeless army.
However, this grain is to ensure that they are full, and they will be given as much as they eat that day, and they will not be given any surplus food.
Wang Dan simply distributed rations to the hungry people along with him, so that they could also have enough food to eat, which made everyone very grateful to Wang Dan, especially those hungry people, who simply regarded Wang Dan as a god who rescued the suffering.
It was the winter of the year of Renwu, and the snow was so heavy that it almost froze the land, and the strange procession of the guards and the homeless and hungry braved the wind and snow to march with difficulty.
It's just that this heavy snow can't stop the spies of the major forces from quickly transmitting the information they have found back to their respective leaders.
Li Zicheng, who was in the middle of the day, was very happy when he learned that Zhang Xianzhong, the rival of the competition, had died, and he looked up to the sky and laughed for a long time in the big tent of the Chinese army, and at the same time kept shouting: "Butcher Zhang, you bastard who sells meat for Lao Tzu is finally dead, and you can no longer compete with Lao Tzu for this flowery country, and I am the one who has the last laugh among us! Haha, haha......." β
Li Yan next to him frowned and looked at the straw paper information book in his hand, Li Zicheng, who was being praised by his subordinates, noticed that Li Yan was different, and a trace of gloom flashed in his heart, but he quickly hid this dissatisfaction.
Niu Jinxing, who was dressed in white and liked to hold a feather fan to pretend to be elegant, keenly noticed Li Zicheng's strangeness, and he looked at Li Yan with a more schadenfreude expression.
This Li Yan's various abilities made him very jealous of the self-appointed number one strategist, and now this is a good opportunity to suppress his opponent.
So he stepped forward and saluted Li Zicheng with his fists, "Congratulations to King Chuang for going to a big enemy, now there is no opponent in the world that can match our army, why don't King Chuang follow the will of the people in the world and ascend the throne as the emperor, so as to settle the world as soon as possible." β
When the people in the big tent heard Niu Jinxing's mention, they all reacted immediately, and they immediately began to persuade Li Zicheng to become emperor immediately. They said as if Li Zicheng did not ascend the throne, and everyone in the world would cry and die of sorrow.
"You can't put Li in such a high position, the artifact of the country Li Mou asked himself if he has no virtue to live in, and when the corrupt officials in the world are killed and the people's lives are better, Li will go back to his hometown to farm. Li Zicheng's saliva was three feet long, and Yan SΓΉ, who looked like a pig brother, said that when it comes to the issue of his pure reputation, Li Zicheng can still distinguish between major and wrong.
The people in the big tent persuaded Li Zicheng to save the people of the world and become the emperor, but Li Yan still looked worried, and Li Zicheng's eyes were even more unkind when he looked at him.
Niu Jinxing finally opened his vicious fangs and said to Li Yan, "I don't know what Brother Li Yan's opinion is on King Chuang becoming emperor. Why do you always show people with a dislike face? β
Li Zicheng's face began to sink, this Li Yan fought bravely, and was extremely strategic, his status in the Dashun army was second only to himself, if he opposed him, the position of King Chuang might also be pulled down by him, so Li Zicheng also paid attention to how Li Yan would answer.
Li Yan looked at this treacherous Niu Jinxing in disgust, took a sip, and then clenched his fists and said respectfully to Li Zicheng, "It is the general trend for King Chuang to be the emperor. Even if he is not the emperor now, the people of the world will push the king to ascend to the throne, Li Yan is just worried that there will be variables in this battlefield for hegemony in the Central Plains. β
"Hmph, the world will be all under the king, what are the variables, I think even if there are variables, it is in the hearts of some people!" Niu Jinxing, who was dressed as a pig brother, looked at Li Yan with a wicked smile. It's just that he is short in stature, and no matter how you look at it, the harlequin on the stage is dancing the gods.
Li Yan ignored Niu Jinxing's cold words, he took the information in his hand and said to Li Zicheng, "King Chuang, please take a look, speculate according to the report of the spies." Zuo Liangyu died in an infighting with another Ming army, and his 800,000 troops were all collected by Zhang Xianzhong, but only a few days later. Zhang Xianzhong, whose strength had soared, was also killed by the Ming army, and the million-strong army collapsed in only one day.
Li Zicheng's excited heart was hit hard, and he realized that Zhang Xianzhong's death was not necessarily a good thing for him after Li Yan's reminder.
"Well, your analysis is reasonable, it seems that you can't be careless in the conquest of the world, and we'll talk about it later, now we have to hurry up and collect information about this Ming army, including who is the leader of the army. β
Li Zicheng pondered for a moment and finally made this wise decision, and everyone in the big tent was busy patting his ass, including Li Yan, he was really not a stupid and embarrassing nerd, but Niu Jinxing would not let him go like this.
Li Zicheng looked around at everyone, and he suddenly recalled the secrets that he had to say when he and Zhang Xianzhong peeked at the old lady in the village taking a bath when he was a teenager, and the youth without regrets.
Thinking about it, Li Zicheng suddenly crawled on the desk and cried bitterly.
Everyone in the big tent was confused, why did this unyielding King Chuang suddenly lose his temper, could it be that he was frightened and cried by Li Yanda's words.
Niu Jinxing leaned over next to Li Zicheng and asked in a low voice, "Why is King Chuang crying?"
Li Zicheng said in an intermittent sad voice, "I think that my army and the Great Western Army are the same righteous brothers, and now that the Great West has suffered from this calamity, how can this king bear to see the brothers suffering from wandering and helpless, you still have to do your best to collect the brothers of the Great Western Army, as long as there is a bite to eat from my Dashun soldiers, I will never starve the brothers of the Great West." β
"Chuang Wang Yi Bo Yuntian is really a supreme holy lord with the mind to swallow the sun and the moon. β
A group of generals of the Dashun Army comprehended the farts and went to do their own things.
At the same time, in the Shengjing Palace in Liaodong, a child sitting on the dragon chair at the head of the palace looked at the side angrily, and there was a big man who also had a seat next to the supreme throne, he was the regent of Dolgon, who was unparalleled in the world, unparalleled on the ground, unparalleled in bravery, and unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness.
Dolgon was looking at the civil and military officials in the main hall with smugness, and his arrogant aura also made the little emperor Fulin sitting on the side a little breathless.
At this time, Dolgon was at the peak of his career, as long as he was willing to kick the little emperor off the dragon chair and replace him with a seat, but he chose to be a person under the surface, but in fact the supreme power king.
The person who made Dorgon give up his title as emperor and keep the little emperor of Fulin was the peerless beauty who claimed to be equal to beauty and wisdom, and kindness comparable to the gods and Buddhas.
Although he did not really claim the title of emperor, Dolgon still swept away all the enemies who had opposed him in the court, and now Dolgon is the heaven of the Qing Dynasty, as for the emperor. It's better to wait for this day to leave the world before coming out.
The ambitious Dolgon integrated the Qing army and was preparing to exterminate the outlier of Zhaojiabao, who had given him a small setback, with a thunderous force, and today was the last pre-war meeting in the court.
The general policy was set, and the ministers had no objection to the use of troops, and Dolgon stood up majestically and ordered loudly to the civil and military officials, "Everyone must do their part, and let my army take the recalcitrant Zhaojiabao in Liaodong in one fell swoop." β
"Yes, a qiΔ acts on the orders of the regent"
The civil and military officials sang in unison.
Dolgon sneered, and when the ministers had finished saluting, he turned to the little emperor and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, please give an order!"
Fulin glared at Dolgon. But he had no choice but to shout helplessly, "Draft the decree, order the 200,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty to obey the order of the regent and go to destroy the Zhaojiabao who disobeyed the king." β
Dolgon happily accepted the order, bowed to the little emperor, and walked out of the hall. Along the way, I heard the civil and military officials say in unison, "I wish the regent success." β
Dolgon was laughing and about to leave when he saw a messenger carrying an urgent letter into the palace, and Dolgon stopped the messenger and took the letter in his hand and looked at it.
This is a great disrespect to the emperor, and generally this situation is the first thing the emperor should know. But now no one will pat the little emperor's ass.
I saw Dolgon looking at the letter, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and his face became darker and darker, and all the officials were surprised and guessed what could make this big boss so nervous.
'Abominable Zhaojiabao. The king is hateful. β
Then, no one could have imagined that this eternal overlord would scream and vomit blood and faint.
The civil and military officials hurried to help, but the little emperor of Fulin was overjoyed, and he was deflated when he saw this big villain. His heart was filled with joy.
Dorgon was soon sent back to his palace, and the little emperor and the civil and military officials finally learned the contents of the letter.
It reads, "Report to the regent of the Qing Dynasty, it is found that an army of more than 6,000 people has set off from Beijing. rushed to Henan, first clashed with Zuo Liangyu's troops, and killed Zuo Liangyu with a sneak attack. And the left army of 800,000 people dispersed after the Ming court another rebel Zhang Xianzhong incorporated, Zhang Xianzhong later took a million soldiers to besiege the Ming army, the strong attack was not broken for a day, that night was also attacked by the Ming army thousands of cavalry, Zhang Xianzhong was also killed on the spot, the Ming army was able to get out safely, that night, Zhang Xianzhong's army had an internal fight, the million army all broke up, the Ming army with more than 100,000 displaced people to the north, according to another investigation, the Ming army is in Liaodong and my Qing Dynasty against the Zhaojiabao armed forces. β
The officials panicked, this small Zhaojiabao actually has such combat effectiveness, if it is not destroyed, it will be a disaster for the Qing Dynasty.
However, the little emperor was a little happy in his heart, because Zhao Jiabao made that powerful minister deflated.
Fan Wencheng sat on the edge of Dolgon's bed and stared blankly at the creed in his hand, his eyes kept recalling the scene when he saw the layers of steel armor soldiers in Zhaojiabao ascending to the top of the city, their excellent armor and unyielding will to fight became Fan Wencheng's nightmare, when did Daming have such a strong soldier again.
Fan Wencheng looked at the unconscious Dolgon and sighed, "Wake up, Lord Wang, the Qing Dynasty can't live without you, that Zhaojiabao must have suffered heavy casualties after a series of battles, and this is a good time for us to destroy that fort!"
Fan Wencheng, who served the Qing Dynasty loyally, was so depressed and bitter in the faint candlelight in the room at this time, even the palace guards who were guarding outside the door were moved, and at this moment they compared Fan Wencheng with the pig brother who did his best in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, and this is their pig brother of the Qing Dynasty.
"Is Lord Fan still taking care of the prince?" a soft female voice sounded from outside the door.
"Yes, Master Fan has been accompanying the prince, and he hasn't even eaten dinner. β
In the slightly hoarse reply of the guards, the door was opened.
Fan Wencheng turned around and saw a fair-skinned woman walking into the room, Rao is old Fan is used to seeing all kinds of women, and he also had a little distraction at this moment.
Women are not surprised by this, there are too many men who are obsessed with her appearance, she is the famous head of the Qing Dynasty Da Yuer.
The woman opened her wide mouth slightly and spoke softly, "Lord Fan has worked very hard for the country, now please go back and rest, only by saving your body can you help the prince more, now let me take care of the prince." β
Fan Wencheng wanted to perform the scene of the loyal minister crying for the sick lord again, but when he saw Da Yu'er, he was about to snort again. And the eyes are swinging again, and then look at the big plate face of this legendary beauty of the Qing Dynasty, and the garlic genetically modified green onion nose. He hurriedly said goodbye.
Walking out of the room, Lao Fan scolded in his heart, "This woman is really amazing, she insisted that the prince of Dolgon give up the throne in her hand, she is okay except for her white skin, how can she be as beautiful as the Han family women he has seen, how can the royal men of the Qing Dynasty have such a heavy taste."
No matter how Lao Fan clung to the pride that belonged to the Han people in his heart, anyway, this famous slave elite looked down on the Manchus without cultural inheritance on the one hand, and on the other hand, he did his best for the barbarians to enter the Central Plains.
What a wonderful person.
And in the court of Shengjing. Because without Dolgon's approval, no one dared to transfer troops and horses lightly, so the issue of Zhaojiabao was selectively discussed indefinitely by the ownerless hundred officials and the little emperor, and it was better to wait for Dolgon to recover his health or not.
In the Daming Jingshi, the people talked about the most is the emperor's discernment, and the unparalleled god of war who quickly raised the plan actually defeated Zuo Liangyu's 800,000 army with more than 6,000 strong soldiers, and killed Zhang Xianzhong, a big thief in the Ming Dynasty, in the million army, and later I don't know that it was the well-informed people who spread the deeds of Wang Dan in the sixteen horsemen who broke into the Tartar army outside the pass, so the people of Beijing also set off firecrackers for a day to celebrate.
The deeds of the king were even more divine.
In the Mandarin Palace. The officials were also very happy, the Ming army won the battle again, and their property was safe.
Of course, the happiest person was Emperor Chongzhen, who immediately laughed after receiving the good news from Jinyiwei. It was Wang Chengen who used internal strength to cure Chongzhen.
Despite this accident, Chongzhen was still very happy to praise Wang Dan as a blessed general from heaven and wanted to be rewarded, but later found that there was nothing to reward. It was decided to crown Wang Dan as the protector of the Ming Dynasty in front of the civil and military officials.
Today, I summoned hundreds of officials to Wenhua Hall to announce this decision, and the hundred officials seemed to know that Chongzhen had a big move, and all of them had a stern look.
Chongzhen looked at these courtiers who would only compete with each other. There was no reason for a burst of disgust in his heart, and Daming still had to rely on the loyal ministers he discovered to protect it.
After the civil and military officials shouted long live, before Chongzhen opened his mouth to announce the reward for Wang Dan, a civil official came out to salute Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the Ming Liaodong General Soldier Wang Gu for embracing thieves and self-respect, and plotting against him!"
"The minister also has the intention to play, Wang Dan seems to have witchcraft, conjuring up many strange horses, will definitely harm my Ming, and also spread rumors in Beijing, I am afraid that there is a heart of disobedience, I hope the emperor will see it!"
"The minister also has a ............ to play!"
Chongzhen sneered at first and watched the performance of the hundreds of officials under him, but the hundreds of officials seemed to have sheep madness and kept coming forward to report the suspiciousness of Wang Guts, shaking their heads and sighing one by one, as if they were heartbroken for the country to have Wang Guts, a great traitor to the country.
Gradually, Chongzhen's face began to become strict, he is a person with soft ears, and he can't hear others say that there are courtiers who have two hearts for him.
"Are the ministers really doing the work of the state by impeaching the general soldier in this way? I'm afraid you are jealous of the god of war that I have found out and made earth-shattering contributions!"
Chongzhen shouted solemnly, and the civil and military officials hurriedly knelt down and said they didn't dare.
Chongzhen did not announce the reward for Wang Dan again, but went directly to the court after drinking and reprimanding the hundred officials.
In the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace that night, Chongzhen carefully looked at the secret report of Jinyiwei again, and Wang Chengen also served aside.
Chongzhen looked at the information in the secret report about Wang Dan leading a large number of displaced people straight to Jingshi, and from the trembling table of his hands, he could know how excited the emperor was at this time.
Wang Chengen sighed secretly beside him, he could best understand how disappointed and worried Chongzhen was at this time, and put the last hope of the dynasty on a courtier who was very capable of fighting, but in the end he found that this courtier was unreliable, I am afraid that Chongzhen would no longer trust anyone.
After a long time of silence, Chongzhen finally spoke, "Princess, do you think this king is coming to rebel against the king with an army of displaced people!"
Wang Chengen knew that Chongzhen needed comfort the most now, so he said to Chongzhen, "The emperor doesn't have to worry about Lord Wang's loyalty, according to the slave maid, he just doesn't know how to deal with traitors, you just need to make an order for General Wang to kill all those homeless traitors, which can prove whether he is loyal to Daming and the emperor." β
Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen's proposal, and immediately drafted the decree and quickly sent it out, Chongzhen, who had finished the decree, paced back and forth in the imperial study in annoyance, he suddenly stopped and looked at the candle flame that was almost burning, and muttered, "Wang Aiqing, you must not let me down!"
In the icy and snowy territory of Henan, there is a team of hundreds of thousands of people trudging forward, and at the center of this huge team is Wang Dan and his men, who are anxious to go home for the New Year.
I don't know how the news of Wang Dan's free distribution of grain to the people spread throughout Henan, which has become a no-man's land, and many people who have no food for the winter all run to follow Wang Dan and the guards, and seeing that more than 500,000 hungry people are about to follow behind, Wang Dan and the guards are no longer busy.
Fortunately, Li Dingguo asked the displaced army to help distribute food, so that no one starved to death.
At this time, Li Dingguo looked at Wang Dan's main account in the distance with a complicated mind, and when he just surrendered, he found that the grain carts of the escort army could not support his tens of thousands of troops at all, but there was no place in the whole Henan for him to grab grain, and he could still have a thought with this group of Ming troops.
Who would have thought that this Ming Court general would keep bringing food for everyone to eat, he obviously saw that Wang Dan's camp was not very big, but why did this food keep moving out.
For this reason, he went to talk to an honest guard soldier, but what he heard was another legend of the birth of the White Lotus Sect demon.
Li Dingguo scoffed at the story of Wang Dan turning into an armored war horse out of thin air, but Wang Dan's magical camp was really constantly conjuring up food, which made Li Dingguo begin to classify Wang Dan as a demon, and at the same time, he also dispelled the last bit of restless caution in his heart.
Today, a team of Jinyi guards entered Wang Dan's camp, it is said that they came to announce the will of Emperor Chongzhen, I don't know what Chongzhen will do with himself and tens of thousands of subordinates, in order to show sincerity, all the weapons of the exile army have been handed over to the guards, if the Ming Court suddenly turns face, he and tens of thousands of exiles will only be slaughtered.
Li Dingguo waited uneasily, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the exile army were also waiting, following Wang Dan to have a full meal, they didn't want to live that kind of exiled life anymore, and there was no meal.
In the tent, it was still an old acquaintance of Wang Dan, Zhang Quanzhong, who was ordered to pass on the decree this time, and at the same time had the task of urging Wang Dan to carry out the specific task, so after he finished announcing the holy decree, he said to Wang Dan, "Wang Zongbing, please accept the decree, and please do your best to do things according to the meaning of the holy decree!"
