Chapter 97: Chen Ji wants to make a move against the Manchus

Zhang Mingyue came to the Taoist temple to invite the White Crane Taoist, and Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao were about to bow to the teacher. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Master, Xianggong is about to accept apprentices, so you can go and have a look. Zhang Mingyue said with a smile.

The White Crane Daoist shook his head and said, "Chen Ji accepts apprentices, what does it have to do with the poor Dao? ”

When Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao first came to Huashan, the White Crane Taoist personally received them and arranged for them to live in the Taoist temple. This is to protect the safety of Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao.

Now that Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao are going to worship Chen Ji as their teacher, the White Crane Daoist will naturally not care anymore.

What's more, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao no longer appear in front of the world as princes and princesses. Their future identities are only Chen Ji's disciples.

The White Crane Daoist glanced at Zhang Mingyue and waved his hand: "Okay girl, don't persuade the poor Dao." You go back and tell Chen Ji that kid that I won't get involved in his affairs. Accepting two apprentices, it is still so heavy, as if it is a happy event. When the poor Dao accepted Chen Ji as an apprentice, it was just a matter of one sentence. ”

Zhang Mingyue nodded and said, "I know." ”

When Zhang Mingyue returned home, she saw Chen Ji sitting on the Taishi chair, Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao were ready, and as soon as the White Crane Daoist arrived, they would bow to the teacher.

"Mingyue, didn't the master come?" Chen Ji saw Zhang Mingyue coming back alone, and hurriedly asked.

Wang Jiang and Zuo Li looked behind Zhang Mingyue, and there was indeed no figure of the White Crane Dao Chief.

Zhang Mingyue said: "The master said that you accept apprentices, and it has nothing to do with him. He won't come to mix. ”

Chen Ji nodded and said: "Master, he is an old man, he doesn't like these mundane things very much, if he doesn't come, then forget it." ”

Zhang Mingyue sat next to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji said: "Okay, you two little guys, apprentice." ”

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao picked up the tea bowl and offered tea to Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue.

"Master, master, please drink tea. ”

Chen Ji and Zhang Mingyue took the tea bowl and took a sip gently.

Chen Ji glanced at the two of them and said, "You two, since you have entered this seat, you will be my Chen Ji's disciples in the future." There are not many rules in our faction, only one, do not deceive teachers and destroy ancestors. However, as a teacher, I still hope that you can do things in black and white. You have learned martial arts, and you will not care what you want to do, but it is better not to make people angry, otherwise I will take back your martial arts and even expel you from the division. ”

Expulsion from the division, during the Ming Dynasty, was a very severe punishment.

Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao said with a serious face: "The disciple does not dare to disobey the master's teachings. ”

Chen Ji said to Zhu Yujiao: "Yuanjiao, you will follow your master to practice." Your master's martial arts are also first-class in the martial arts world, and it is more than enough for her to teach you. Of course, if you have any doubts, you can also come and ask as a teacher. ”

Zhu Yujiao nodded and said, "Yes, master." ”

It stands to reason that with Chen Ji's status in the Ming martial arts world, if he wants to accept apprentices, he needs to invite guests and announce it to the entire martial arts world. However, the identities of Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yujiao are too special, and Chen Ji can only take the apprenticeship into a form. No guests were invited.

Zhu Cihong has not recovered from his grief, his mind is not calm, and Chen Ji will not teach him anything.

A few days later.

Zhu Cihong found Chen Ji and asked, "Master, why don't you teach me martial arts? ”

Even if Zhu Yujiao learned martial arts from Zhang Mingyue, without Zhang Mingyue's permission, she didn't dare to pass it on to Zhu Cihong easily. Martial arts should not be passed on lightly, otherwise, they will be punished.

As a girl, Zhu Yujiao is even less courageous than Zhu Cihong. Even if Zhu Cihong wanted to learn, she didn't dare to teach.

Chen Ji looked at Zhu Cihong indifferently and said: "Practicing martial arts and reading have something in common, both need to be calm and calm. Impetuous and impetuous, not good at writing, and not good at martial arts. If you make a mistake, you can do it all over again, and if you don't practice martial arts well, you will hurt your body. There is a dark injury on the body, and it is not easy to recover. ”

Zhu Cihong said: "I am already calm!"

Chen Ji smiled slightly: "Really, your eyes are full of hatred, it is impossible to calm down." If I say this, you may be unconvinced, but since this is the case, then the teacher will pass on you a set of secret methods of breathing and breathing, and if you practice it, you can dredge your muscles and bones and refine your qi and blood. But if you don't practice well, don't blame the teacher for not passing on anything else to you. ”

Zhu Cihong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, master." ”

Chen Ji passed on a very complex set of secret methods of the inner family. This set of internal family secret methods is not profound, it can only be regarded as a second-rate exercise, but it has one characteristic, that is, it is complex, very complicated.

There are dozens of kinds of breath and mind guidance alone. As long as you are a little impetuous, you can't practice.

Ordinary people can't cultivate at all.

Chen Ji gave Zhu Cihong this exercise to test his patience. When Zhu Cihong's heart is pure, Chen Ji plans to pass on his five poultry operas or innate skills.

Chen Ji smiled at Zhu Cihong and said, "Don't worry, you practice slowly, and when you have practiced this exercise, your internal strength and mental nature will be considered a beginner." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "Yes, master." ”

Chen Ji sent Zhu Cihong away, and only then did he secretly say in his heart: "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood." When you have a pure mind, you can be single-minded. ”

If you can be undisturbed and practice martial arts, you will naturally be able to go deeper, and your martial arts can advance by leaps and bounds.

Chen Ji's heart is extremely strong, and he can become a grandmaster in a few years, precisely because he can be single-minded.

If Chen Ji's state of mind is raised to another level, it is the clear mind and insight that Buddhism talks about, and the unity of knowledge and action that Confucianism says.

..................

When the news of the breaching of the capital reached Nanjing, Qian Qianyi burst into tears and grief-stricken in front of everyone. It seems that he Qian Qianyi is so loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

As for what Qian Qianyi thinks in his heart, only he knows.

Liu Ru learned that Da Ming was dead, and it was really heartbroken.

When Zheng Sen returned to Nanjing from Fujian and met Liu Rushi, the first thing he did was to tell how Chen Ji had forced Jackson Orton to force Andre, the governor of the East India Company, to compromise.

The Dutch not only compensated the Zheng family for their losses, but also had to trade fairly with the Zheng family.

All of this is the credit of Chen Ji.

Liu Ru smiled reluctantly and said, "Chen Ji is the White Lotus Sect Master, and he is also a young grandmaster, it is reasonable that he can defeat this Jackson Orton. ”

In the past few days, the Donglin Party has been in tandem and contacted various nobles and families in Nanjing everywhere, hoping to support the Fu King Zhu Yousong to ascend the throne and become the new emperor.

If the Southern Ming Dynasty was established, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng would agree to Qian Qianyi as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Liu Ru supported Qian Qianyi to become an official, and if he wanted to keep the southern country from falling into the hands of the thieves and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, everyone had to contribute.

"Big wood. Your Zheng family is not small, and your family should also support King Fu to ascend the throne and become emperor, right. Liu Ru suddenly asked Zheng Sen.

Zheng Sen nodded and said, "Of course, no matter what my father's attitude is, I absolutely support King Fu and Mr. Mu Zhai." Of course, if Sect Leader Chen Ji also supports King Fu, the chances of victory on our side will be much greater. It's a pity that Sect Leader Chen Ji is afraid that he will not agree. ”

Zheng Sen knew that Chen Ji had a huge immigration plan, and the White Lotus Sect would immigrate tens of millions of people within ten years. Even with the help of the Zheng family's sea boats, it was very difficult to complete.

At this time, let Chen Ji support King Fu to become emperor, Zheng Sen felt a little unlikely.

Liu said: "I will write a letter to Chen Ji, as long as he can support King Fu to ascend the throne, as long as he can keep half of the southern country, I can even kneel in front of him and beg him to agree." ”

..................

Da Yu'er, as the concubine of Huang Taiji, put down her body and asked Dolgon for help several times, and finally, Dolgon promised to support Fulin to ascend the throne and become emperor.

But in fact, the power of the Manchu court was still in the hands of Dolgon.

Dolgon received a letter of surrender from Wu Sangui, who agreed to open the Shanhaiguan Pass and allow the Qing soldiers to enter the pass.

"Hehe, this Wu Sangui is really good at speculation. You want me to make him King of Pingxi?" said Dolgon, with a sneer in his eyes.

Wu Sangui was named Pingxi Bo by the imperial court during the Chongzhen period, and now, Wu Sangui is not satisfied with an earl, but wants to be crowned king.

Da Yu'er brought lotus seed porridge to Dolgon, and when she saw Wu Sangui's letter, she said with a smile: "It's Wu Sangui's letter again? This is already the third letter." ”

Dorgon nodded, "Yes, it's the third letter." ”

Da Yu'er sneered: "Wu Sangui has a lot of ambitions and wants to be crowned king. I am very clear, and I must not promise him. The city of Beijing was broken by Li Zicheng, and the Liaodong army was panicked, and now we can let Ao Bai make a move and kill Wu Sangui, and the Liaodong army has no leader, and it is absolutely chaotic. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty could take the opportunity to take Shanhaiguan. ”

The Qing Dynasty could crown the Mongols as kings, but they could never crown the Han people as kings.

Da Yu'er is still young, and she is not yet the future Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, and she has not played politics to the fullest.

Wu Sangui's surrender with hundreds of thousands of troops, and the defeat of Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses are completely different meanings.

Dorgon hesitated for a moment and said, "No. Promise him! What if I can enter the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty and give Wu Sangui a throne. I will take Zu Dashou, Hong Chengchou, and Fan Wencheng to negotiate with Wu Sangui together. ”

After more than ten days of negotiations, Wu Sangui and Dolgon both got what they wanted.

Wu Sangui defeated Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses at Shanhaiguan.

Dolgon entered the customs with a large army and took the city of Beijing without much effort.

..................

Chen Ji received the news of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into Beijing in Huashan, and the secret way was not good.

Dorgon came too quickly.

Chen Ji has only come to his senses now, and due to his appearance, the Ming Dynasty has perished for several months.

"The people in the base areas of the White Lotus Sect in the northern provinces have not yet moved, and they must delay the pace of the Qing army's attack. Chen Ji said secretly in his heart.

"Xianggong. Zhang Mingyue found Chen Ji with a letter, "This is Sister Liu's flying pigeon biography." ”

Chen Ji took it and took a look, and sure enough, it was Liu Ruye's handwriting.

After reading the contents of the letter, Chen Ji said: "Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi want to support Zhu Yousong in establishing the Southern Ming Imperial Court, let them do it well, why are you involved with me? Now that Dolgon has entered the capital and threatened the northern country, I can't even care about the people under the command of the White Lotus Sect, who is going to get involved in those bad things of the Southern Ming Dynasty?"

Even if Zhu Yousong ascended the throne as emperor and established the Southern Ming court, those ministers were also vying for power and profit, and they were not opponents of the Manchu Qing at all.

What's more, the crown prince Zhu Cihong is in Huashan, Chen Ji wants to support it, and he will also support Zhu Cihong, the orthodox prince, why bother to support Zhu Yousong, the blessed king.

Zhang Mingyue said: "Xianggong, how do you reply to Sister Liu?"

Chen Ji said: "Just say it." However, the tone should be a little more tactful. ”

Zhang Mingyue nodded and said, "Okay, I know." ”

"By the way, Mingyue, how is the relocation of the people in our northern base area?"

Zhang Mingyue knew that Chen Ji was in a hurry, but she still told the truth: "If you want to move the people to the south, it will take at least two months, and this is still with the help of the Zheng family." Otherwise, we will spend more time. ”

Chen Ji sighed and said: "The Manchu army has entered Beijing, and the momentum is like a rainbow, and Li Zicheng is now in a crumbling army, like a lost dog." Relying on Li Zicheng's army, he couldn't stop the army of Dolgon and Wu Sangui. At most, a month later, the northern provinces would fall into the hands of the Manchus. In order to buy time for the people in the base area to move, I had to take action myself in order to delay the footwork of the Qing troops. ”

Zhang Mingyue said loudly: "No! Xianggong, it's too dangerous." No matter how high your martial arts and swordsmanship are, it will be difficult to survive if you are surrounded by a large army. ”

Chen Ji said: "Mingyue, don't worry, I won't be tough, I'm just waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the Manchu generals." ”

Chen Ji will not assassinate the leaders of Dolgon and Wu Sangui, nor will he directly fight Aobai. All he had to do was assassinate the mid- and lower-ranking officers.

Emperors, princes, and county kings are protected by the army and martial arts masters, but those middle and low-level officers are not treated like that. These low-ranking officers may seem unimportant, but if they are killed too much, there will definitely be a big mess in the army.

At the very least, there will be confusion in the command.

Zhang Mingyue said: "Then I'll go with you." ”

Chen Ji shook his head and said: "You have to arrange for the people to move to the south, this work is very important, and I don't worry about handing it over to others." This time, I took my senior brother and Zuo Li with me. ”

There are a lot of people, so it's better to get things done.

If Chen Ji goes out alone, he will be lacking in skills at that time.

..................

Chen Ji took Wang Jiang and Zuo Li down Huashan, and before they left the boundary of Huashan, they encountered a fight.

Several martial arts masters are besieging the Red Lady.

The red lady is seriously injured and in danger, and she may be captured at any time. Her eyes were full of despair, and this time, she really couldn't run away.

"Senior brother, save people!"

Chen Ji said to Wang Jiang.

Wang Jiang nodded and directly pulled out the embroidered spring knife.

Those warriors who besieged the Red Lady were only second-rate in martial arts, where was Wang Jiang's opponent. Wang Jiang stabbed them several times in a row, breaking their tendons and making them lose their combat effectiveness.

did not harm their lives, Wang Jiang was merciful.

Chen Ji walked over and asked, "Red lady, we meet again." ”

The red lady had a miserable smile on her face: "Yes, we meet again." Thank you Sect Leader Chen Ji for saving your life. ”

Chen Ji didn't need to ask, he could guess that Li Yan must have been killed by Li Zicheng. Otherwise, the red lady would not come here alone.

"Can you still go up the mountain?" asked Chen Ji.

The red lady nodded and said, "I can still go." ”

Chen Ji said: "Then you can go to Huashan by yourself and go to my wife Zhang Mingyue, she will ask my master to treat your injuries." ”

Several warriors who were picked off their tendons were unwilling, but they still let the red lady escape, and failed to complete the task assigned by King Chuang.

Chen Ji said to them coldly: "Li Zicheng is finished, you don't know yet, right? This seat is not interested in killing you, hurry up and leave." ”

Wang Jiang scolded: "Don't get out of here!"
