Chapter 93: The Sect Leader Goes South!
When Zhang Mingyue received the letter of Shengjing's rudder flying pigeon, Chen Ji had already left Huashan ahead of schedule and rushed to Nanjing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He wanted to go to Nanjing first and take Zheng Sen to Fujian with him.
When I came to Qian Mansion, I didn't see Qian Qianyi.
As the leader of the Donglin Party, although Qian Qianyi is not an official, he is still very busy, and he will continue to write and poetry. During this time, in addition to drinking and writing poems at literary events, Qian Qianyi also worked hard to promote the martial arts hall of Shaolin Temple.
Because of Qian Qianyi's deliberate publicity, Shaolin Temple's several martial arts halls in Nanjing City have the best business. More than eighty percent of them are children of rich families.
These rich children, their parents are gentry officials, they are not bad for money, and Shaolin Temple has made a lot of money during this time.
As scholars, they constantly belittle generals and warriors, but they entered the martial arts hall of Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts, which is really a great irony.
In fact, the scholars at the end of the Ming Dynasty were so contradictory.
Fortunately, the White Lotus Sect has already opened a dart bureau in Nanjing to undertake various tasks, but it does not rely on the business of opening a martial arts hall to eat. So the pressure is not very great. The martial arts halls of other sects and martial arts families were not as lucky as the White Lotus Sect. The pressure from the Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Hall made them a little unbearable.
Chen Ji directly found Zheng Sen: "Da Mu, I received a letter from your father, and I, the White Lotus Sect, agreed to cooperate with your Zheng family. ”
Zheng Sen said happily: "That's great. Sect Leader Chen Ji, I'm going to tell the good news to my sister. ”
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "No." Now that the Dutch are rampant, we still rushed to Fujian early. Jackson Orton may make another move in the near future. ”
When he first came to Nanjing, he had to leave immediately, and now that he went to see Liu Rushi, Chen Ji felt that he had nothing to say. It's better not to see each other than to have nothing to say.
After Liu Ru and Qian Qianyi got married, the relationship between her and Chen Ji has changed subtly. Chen Jicong discovered this problem from the fewer and fewer letters she wrote to herself.
However, Chen Ji didn't blame her at all.
No matter how talented and ideal Liu Ru is, she is always a woman, and after getting married, of course, she will put her family and husband first.
Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go now!"
Zheng Sen rode a horse, Chen Ji hurried directly with light skills, and the two left Nanjing City, went south directly, and rushed to Fujian at a very fast speed.
When they left the city, Liu Ru learned the news that Chen Ji had come to Nanjing. She had a thousand words in her heart, but in the end they turned into a slight sigh.

Chen Ji, the White Lotus Sect Master, came to visit, and Zheng Zhilong brought his brothers and generals to greet him.
"Sect Leader Chen Ji, the old man is looking forward to your arrival soon, but he wants to wear it. ”
When Zheng Zhilong saw Chen Ji, he was very enthusiastic and said with a loud smile.
Chen Ji smiled slightly: "Lord Zheng is polite. Since the Zheng family has agreed to the conditions of the White Lotus Sect, of course this seat will take action in person, otherwise, this seat will not become a person who does not believe in his word. ”
Although Zheng Zhilong is the largest pirate leader in Southeast Asia, he has an official position. Zheng Zhilong's official position at this time is the governor of Tongzhi, and the official residence is from the first grade, which can be described as a real high position.
Zheng Zhilong listened to Chen Ji's words and was slightly stunned, and now he finally knew that although Chen Ji was strong in martial arts, he did not have the slightest political wisdom. Speaking more directly than he is a pirate.
has been an official for so many years, Zheng Zhilong has already learned to be humble and wrong, and he is extremely tactful, just like an old fritter in officialdom.
Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Haha, of course Sect Leader Chen Ji is a person who is true of his word. The old man is convinced of this. Sect Leader Chen Ji, the old man asked his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and wash the dust for you, let's invite you in the house!"
Chen Ji said: "Lord Zheng, please!"
After greeting for a while, Chen Jicai said: "Lord Zheng, the cooperation between the two of us believes that we will definitely be able to stop the Dutch foreign devils." However, there is a small condition here. ”
Zheng Zhilong frowned slightly, what the hell is going on with the White Lotus Sect? Didn't he just say that he would just give up 20% of the annual maritime trade benefits? Why are there any additional conditions?
Chen Ji noticed the change in Zheng Zhilong's expression, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Zheng, this seat is not insatiable, and this time's conditions do not involve silver." ”
Zheng Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it didn't involve silver, then everything was easy to say. Zheng Zhilong's official residence is from a product, but in his bones, he is still a pirate businessman, and money and wealth are what he chases.
Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "Sect Leader Chen Ji, if there are any conditions, even if you mention it, as long as the old man can do it, he will definitely not refuse." ”
Chen Ji nodded and told the White Lotus Sect's immigration plan.
In the end, Chen Ji said: "Lord Zheng, you also know that the relationship between this seat and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is endless. Once the Manchu Qing Dynasty enters the Central Plains, the Han people who rely on the White Lotus Sect to survive will be wiped out! Therefore, this seat plans to move all the people under its command to the treasure island of Taiwan. ”
"Ten years, this seat will immigrate 10 million!"
10 million people?
Everyone here gasped.
More importantly, can Taiwan accommodate tens of millions of people?
"Sect Leader Chen Ji, this plan of yours is really ......" Zheng Zhilong was frightened by Chen Ji's "crazy" immigration plan.
Chen Ji said: "The Zheng family has thousands of warships, and it should not be a problem to transport millions of people to the treasure island of Taiwan every year. ”
Zheng Zhilong hesitated.
In fact, Zheng Zhilong also fell in love with the treasure island of Taiwan.
Chen Ji said: "Lord Zheng, of course the White Lotus Sect will not let you work in vain, as compensation, this seat can be the master, let the children of the Zheng family enter the martial arts hall under the command of the White Lotus Sect to practice, and the profound secret methods of the inner family can also be passed on to you." Ten or twenty years later, maybe the Zheng family will be able to give birth to a grandmaster. ”
The White Lotus Sect has no money, so it can't give much money to Zheng Zhilong, and besides, the Zheng family is not short of silver. What the Zheng family lacks is a grandmaster who can suppress the Quartet.
"Sect Leader Chen Ji, is this true?" Zheng Zhilong asked excitedly.
Fist and foot kung fu is easy to learn, but the secret methods of the inner family are all secrets of various sects, and they cannot be passed on lightly if they are not passed on to disciples.
"Naturally, take it seriously!" Chen Ji said solemnly.
"Smack!"
Zheng Zhilong slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Sect Master Chen Ji, the old man promised you." Every year, help you immigrate millions of people to the island of Taiwan!"
As the most powerful pirate in Southeast Asia and the largest maritime trade merchant in the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family can be said to be rich and powerful, why is it still living so poorly? It is because there is no martial arts master in the family.
Back then, Yamamoto Hongichi, the leader of the Japanese robbers, robbed the Zheng family's merchant ships, Zheng Zhilong dared not speak out, and now Jackson Orton also beat the Zheng family without temper and suffered heavy losses.
Facing the Dutch, in the absence of a martial arts master in the Zheng family, Zheng Zhilong could only dodge.
"Sect Master Chen, in two days, we have sixteen merchant ships going to sea, and Jackson Orton will definitely attack us. Zheng Zhilong said.
The cold light in Chen Ji's eyes flashed: "The grandmaster of the Ming Dynasty, the samurai of Japan, the warriors of the Manchu Dynasty, and the masters of India have all seen it in this seat, but the strong man among the Westerners has not yet been encountered in this seat." I hope that Jackson Orton's martial arts will not disappoint this seat. ”
The martial arts of the Chinese land are most famous for Taoism and Buddhism, but India is the most famous for yoga. I don't know about Western martial arts, what is the situation?
Chen Ji was curious.
..................
Beijing.
Li Yan and the Red Lady came to the city with 150,000 soldiers.
The people of the entire capital were panicked, and hundreds of civil and military officials opened the city gate to welcome the king's military horses.
For these officials, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor, as long as they can keep the power and status in their hands. These scholars and doctors hollowed out the entire Ming Dynasty and fattened themselves, and now they have completely abandoned Emperor Chongzhen and thrown themselves into the arms of Li Zicheng.
Li Yan looked at those ugly Ming officials, and secretly said in his heart: In the Ming Dynasty, with these officials in power, it is inevitable that they will perish, and it is strange that they will not die.
The red lady said with a smile: "Xianggong, we have gone all the way, and we have not encountered resistance from officers and soldiers at all, and now even the civil and military officials of the capital have surrendered, and we have taken Beijing City without much effort." In this way, King Chuang is really destined to return to heaven and should sit on the throne. ”
Previously, Li Yan and the Red Lady were worried that there would be not enough food and grass, and that there would be problems with the army, but they didn't expect to take Beijing City, which was easier than they imagined.
Li Yan nodded and said, "Lady, you can't enter the city first." Let the scouts urgently inform King Chuang with 800 miles that we have taken the capital, so let King Chuang hurry up. ”
Li Yan had merit in taking the capital, but he couldn't bring the army into the city.
The first person to enter the city could only be Li Zicheng.
The red lady nodded and said, "Okay." I'll give the order to the scouts. ”
Li Yan quickly wrote a letter with the news of the capture of the capital and handed it over to the scouts.
The Imperial Study.
Emperor Chongzhen sat in his chair, his eyes full of despair.
The Ming Dynasty finally perished in its own hands.
Wang Chengen was also afraid in his heart, and his body was trembling slightly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid will urge Chen Yan to assist them again." ”
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "No need. Now that Chen Yan has taken the civil officials to welcome the thieves, how can he come to the imperial study to discuss matters again? Wang Chengen, follow me to the queen's bedroom!"
Even the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Luo Yangxing take refuge in the civil official group and went out of the city to meet Li Zicheng's military horses. Emperor Chongzhen, now except Wang Chengen, no one believes it.
"Yes. Emperor. Wang Chengen said.
Emperor Chongzhen took Wang Chengen and two guards to the palace of Empress Zhou.
At this moment, there are no more palace maids and eunuchs in the dormitory, and everyone is almost gone.
"Your Majesty. ”
Empress Zhou had tears in her eyes and a look of horror.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong, the princess of Kunxing, Zhu Yujiao and others are all in the palace.
"Father. "The crown prince and Princess Kunxing saluted Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen said: "My Ming Dynasty does not make peace, does not pay compensation, does not cede land, and does not pay tribute. Today, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the rivers have changed hands. I will send you on your way, so that you will not be disgraced in the world! ”
Chongzhen pulled out the long knife at the guard's waist.
Wang Chengen, Empress Zhou, Zhu Cihong, Zhu Yujiao and others were all taken aback by Emperor Chongzhen.
Chongzhen slashed at Queen Zhou with a knife.
"Father, don't. Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao shouted loudly.
Zhu Yujiao stepped forward and blocked in front of Queen Zhou, this knife would definitely cut off her left arm!
Shout!
A pebble flew through the air.
"Bang!"
The long knife in Chongzhen's hand was shattered.
The long knife flew several feet away and nailed to the pillar, making a trembling sound.
"Who?"
Emperor Chongzhen shouted loudly.
Zhu Yujiao had fear in her eyes and palpitations. Emperor Chongzhen's knife just now, without the slightest mercy, really wanted to kill her and Empress Zhou. I don't know who saved me.
Wang Jiang and Zuo Li walked out of the shadows.
The two of them did not wear the flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, but they still held the embroidered spring knife in their hands.
Wang Jiang is already a half-step grandmaster, Zuo Li has not been in vain in the past three years, and his skills at the moment have also reached the first-class level.
"Jinyi Wei Qianqianhu, Wang Jiang, see the emperor. Wang Jiang knelt down on one knee and said loudly.
"The first hundred households in Jinyi Wei, standing on the left, see the emperor. Zuo Li knelt behind Wang Jiang and said loudly.
