Chapter 973: Preemption

Yanshan Town, located in a small town in Linyu County, Hebei Province, many people may not know about Linyu, but if you talk about its county seat, it is famous in the world, women and children are known, Shanhaiguan, the world's first Xiongguan, relying on the mountains in the north, facing the sea in the south, and has the name of "the key to the two capitals".

In April of that year, in the evening of twilight, in the smoke and the sound of war drums, Wu Sangui, a famous general guarding Shanhaiguan, decided to open and close the city, and from then on, the Jurchen army drove straight in, captured the Beijing Division, completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and laid the foundation for the rise of the Qing Dynasty.

It can be said that the reason why there is a pattern of falling apart like today, Wu Sangui is one of the culprits, if he hadn't led the Jurchen army into the customs and quickly captured the Ming Dynasty, the Jin State would never have easily split this wild Jurchen force, and since then, it has been too late for the Jin State to want to annex the Qing Dynasty.

Wu Sangui switched to the Qing Dynasty and was awarded the title of King of Pingxi, which is one of the three foreign surnames of the Qing court, which is a bit strange, Shanhaiguan is obviously in the south of the Qing court's Jingshi, why would he give the title of "Pingxi King"? And as a prince, he was not given a fief.

In fact, the Qing court at that time was still the regent Dolgon in chief of the government, Dolgon knew that Wu Sangui had a deep foundation in Shanhaiguan, and originally wanted to let him go to Jiayuguan in the west to resist Mongolia, but Wu Sangui had not yet moved, Jiayuguan had fallen and fallen into the hands of Mongolia.

Dolgon retreated and asked Wu Sangui to go to Yanmen Pass to guard, but in this way, the interests of another person were involved, that is, Prince Hongli of Heshuobao, and the situation could be described as extremely complicated.

And Wu Sangui also took the opportunity to put on the table, saying that it was not easy for the army to migrate, the water and soil were not adaptable, and he was old and difficult, and a series of statements such as being afraid that it would be difficult to take on important responsibilities, in short, he didn't want to leave Shanhaiguan, almost ninety percent of Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses were former Ming soldiers, and the imperial court was not too strong.

Moreover, after the Jurchen entered the customs, this Shanhaiguan is not said to be a virtual existence, at least it is not as important as before, and it is nothing for Wu Sangui.

After coming and going, the matter was put on hold, and after all these years, there were still a few people in the Qing court who remembered this matter for no certainty.

As for why Dolgon did not explicitly give a fief at the beginning, this is a tacit thing for everyone, a prince with military power, if there is no fief, no soldier supplement, even if the military power is large, it is difficult to make waves, after a few decades, Wu Sangui's former Ming generals are almost old, and the soldiers can get rid of this big trouble.

Of course, imagination is beautiful, but the present world is very cruel, since Wu Sangui dared to risk the world's disapproval to switch and sacrifice the city, it shows the strength of his forbearance and the depth of his strategy. In the past ten years, he has worked Shanhaiguan as the foundation, and has included the vicinity of Shanhaiguan and even the entire Hebei region into his sphere of influence. Having a steady stream of soldiers and military expenses has become a real problem for the Qing court.

According to rumors, Wu Sangui's Shanhaiguan has a standing army of 100,000, and there are countless elites in secret.

At noon on this day, a "drunken fragrance building" in Yanshan Town, which is usually indifferent, is full of people, full of seats, these people are roughly divided into two categories, one is chatting, playing and laughing, and the atmosphere is extremely lively, and the other is silently drinking and eating, but if you observe carefully, you can find that they have raised their ears and are listening to other people's conversations.

"I've heard that something big is going to happen in Yanshan Town, and many rats have run out recently. A shirtless man stuffed a piece of fat into his mouth and said vaguely.

"Hey, what's the big deal, we have a wide road here, what's so strange about a few more mice. Another sallow middle-aged man pouted his lips absently, looking like you were making a fuss.

"Brother Yan's words are wrong," the scholar at the same table waved his hand, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Ma's words may not be groundless, I heard that the General Military Mansion has received some news and sent a patrol team to ......"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the lobby, and the needle could be heard, and the scholar hurriedly stopped talking and bowed his head and remained silent.

This eerie tranquility lasted less than a moment, and the crowd was once again talking and laughing, and the noise continued.

And at this time, a young man ushered in at the entrance of the lobby, this person was slender, dressed in white, handsome, and faintly ethereal and dusty on his body, which was extraordinary, but his face was slightly weathered, and he looked like a dusty man.

The appearance of the man in white slightly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, but he immediately shifted his gaze again, and seemed to just look at it casually.

"Yo, guest officer......" Xiao Er saw the guest coming, and hurriedly stepped forward, just about to say something.

The man in white interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, bring the best food and the best drink in your store, this son has money." ”

Xiao Er's face was embarrassed, "The guest officer forgives the sin, the small shop is full, and there is nowhere to entertain the guest officer." ”

"What, your house is also full?" the man in white was taken aback, and then became furious, "The people in the town say that Zuixianglou is the largest restaurant here, don't tell me that you can't even add a table." ”

Xiao Erfu smiled, "Guest officer, it is naturally not difficult to add a table, but the problem is that there is no empty space, you see, this hall is full of people next to each other, where can you add a table." ”

The man in white took a look, and it was true, this hall was only a few feet in radius, and it could accommodate dozens or hundreds of people to eat together, and it really couldn't fit a table.

"Then you don't have any private rooms in your house, and I don't believe you can't even add these places. The man in white still didn't give up.

"This ......" Xiao Er's face was slightly suffocated, and he said in a slurred voice, "There are naturally private rooms, but those people ...... The small shop really can't afford to offend. ”

"Hmph!" the man in white snorted coldly, "You don't dare to offend, this son dares." ”

After speaking, he swept his eyes around, and caught a glimpse of a private room on the west side of the lobby with the door ajar, and immediately walked over.

Xiao Er was shocked and hurriedly followed, "Childe, Childe ......"

But somehow, this white-clothed man was in such a crowded place, as if he was in a no-man's land, and easily passed through the crowd, and arrived at the door of the private room in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Er couldn't catch up with him, so he could only turn around and go to the shopkeeper.

If there are acquaintances here, they will definitely be able to recognize that this white-clothed boy is Murong Fu who should have appeared in Yanziwu, but for some reason, he actually ran to Yanshan Town, which is thousands of miles away.

Murong Fu raised his hand and pushed open the door of the private room, and glanced at it, in this small room, which was no more than a foot in length, there were two tables, one was sitting with seven or eight people, and their speech and demeanor were quite restrained, and the other was only two people, one old and one young, who were discussing something in a low voice, and it was obvious that the table with many people was headed by the one with fewer people.

And among the old and the young, the old body bowed slightly, and his face was slightly respectful, obviously led by the young.

Murong Fu set his eyes on the young son, but seeing that his facial features were upright and his skin was slightly white, he was not a handsome and handsome son.

Murong Fu has always been quite unkind to these "beautiful" men, and immediately said indifferently, "I want it here, give you ten breaths of time, get out immediately." ”

These people originally saw someone breaking in, and they were about to say something with a displeased expression, but when they heard Murong Fu's words, the three corpses jumped violently, and several of them immediately scolded, "Bold!"

"Presumptuous, what are you, you dare to go wild here!"

"The stinky boy who has not dried up has put garlic on your grandfather's head. ”

"Hehe, this kid doesn't go outside to inquire, what is the fate of the person who wanted us to give up the place before. ”

......

The young boy who was the leader was even more annoyed, but just when he wanted to say something sarcastic, the old man next to him glanced at him vaguely, and then said to Murong Fu, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name, what school and sect you are from?"

It turned out that after the old man looked at Murong Fu a few times, he felt that his appearance was a little familiar, and he could not detect the slightest fluctuation of internal force in him, but there was a faint sense of danger, which was the intuition that the old man had cultivated after many years of walking in the rivers and lakes, and it was to stop the reckless behavior of the young brother, and turn to inquire about Murong Fu's origin.

Murong Fu took a serious look at the old man, his face was long, his beard was gray, there was a faint trace of gloom between his eyebrows, his eyes were introverted, and his breath on his body was not weak.

Murong Fu, such a master, naturally didn't take it seriously, sneered slightly, and said a word to break the other party's thoughts, "What, do you want to inquire about the origin of this son first, and then decide how to act?"

But the old man is obviously a ** lake, even if he is poked out of his mind, he does not feel embarrassed at all, but shows a kind smile, "Your Excellency said that you laughed, although this private room is not big, it is not difficult to add a table, but I should always know who the guest is, right?"

Murong Fu glanced at him strangely, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, you don't seem to fully understand what this son meant, what I'm saying is, you guys get out of here, and...... The time for ten breaths is also approaching. ”

Seeing that the other party didn't give the slightest face, the old man's face couldn't help but sink slightly, but before he could say anything, the young man next to him laughed angrily, "Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard since I was born, since Your Excellency is so ignorant, then don't blame us for being polite." ”

Now, the old man naturally doesn't think that there is room for relaxation, and his body blocks in front of the young boy without a trace, "Since Your Excellency is so arrogant, it must be something to rely on, the old man is not talented, but he wants to stretch out a measure or two." ”

Murong Fu smiled slightly, "Okay, the time has just arrived." ”

Before the words fell, he suddenly stretched out a hand, flicked his five fingers, and when he reached the time, a dense sword qi shot out, enveloping the two old men in front of him.

Immediately, his figure flickered, turned into a shadow, and instantly shuttled between the other seven or eight people, "bang, bang" for a while, and these people fell to the ground one after another.
