Wang Yue brought Chongzhen and Ah Jiu and others back to Nanjing, and when Ma Shiying saw Chongzhen, he knelt down and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is afraid that he will never see you again." Luckily, the doctor got you out. ”

Although Ma Shiying, a big local tyrant, is greedy for money and lustful, and greedy for life and afraid of death, he is still very loyal to the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen.

Now that I see Emperor Chongzhen, I am really excited.

Chongzhen also had tears in his eyes, and hurriedly helped Ma Shiying up: "Aiqing, please hurry up, I am now the king of the dead country." ”

Ma Shiying said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I and the divine doctor now have an army of 10,000 people, and in the future, we will definitely succeed in the Northern Expedition and exterminate all the thieves in Li Chuang." ”

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

In the evening, Wang Yue asked Xiaohe to inform his subordinates to hold a meeting.

Now that Li Zicheng has broken through the city of Beijing, the Manchu army will soon enter the pass, and then Wang Yue will have to fight the Manchus head-on. With Wang Yue's current power, he is not an opponent of the Manchu Qing at all, so it is necessary to speed up the development.

Those who came to attend the meeting were Xiaohe, Chongzhen, Da Yuer, Liu Ruyi, Ah Jiu, Ma Shiying, Chen Yuanyuan, Shui Jian, and several young generals and scribes who Wang Yue did not know.

Wang Yue glanced at Xiao He and said, "Xiao He, you will say the power we have again. ”

Xiaohe stood up: "Yes, Childe." ”

Xiaohe took out the text, talked about the recent development plan and expansion speed, and finally went to summarize.

Xiaohe finally said: "Childe, so far, we have mastered eleven counties, and the army has expanded to 25,000 people. However, the cost of silver is also very large, and in the days that Childe left, we spent another three million taels of silver. ”

Wang Yue frowned. Fingers were tapping on the table, and Wang Yue's appearance put a lot of pressure on everyone present, even Chongzhen was no exception.

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "No, our development speed is still too slow. To speed up, we must unify the entire provinces south of the Yellow River in the shortest possible time, otherwise, we will not be able to confront the Manchus. ”

"Shui Jian, the soldiers must move, let them go to quell the chaos, let them go to suppress the bandits. We must let them see the blood, otherwise, it is impossible to become an iron army just by training in the barracks. ”

Shui Jian stood up and said, "Yes." Son. Now the food in the army is so good, and there is no deduction in the slightest from military salaries. If only those soldiers didn't give their lives again. The last general will execute them by military law!"

Shui Jian looked murderous, he was still waiting for Wang Yue to give him the title of king, at this time he would never allow anyone to drag him back.

A scribe stood up and said, "Childe, according to your plan, is it not to take back all the land?" In that case, although we can get the support of the people, we will be opposed by all the gentry and scholars. In this way, we will not be able to move an inch. ”

Now it's the Ming Dynasty. It was an era when scholars and emperors shared the world, and Wang Yue distributed the land to the people, which naturally had to be opposed by all the gentry and scholars.

With a cold light in his eyes, Wang Yue said with a smile: "I didn't ask for their land in vain, I gave them money, and I also compensated them commercially, and promised to treat them." ”

If they still don't agree, it means that these gentry have the intention of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. ”

"You must know that if the Manchu Tartars come over, the land, the money, and even the women in the family will be Tartars. I didn't raid their homes, and I'm already worthy of them. If anyone is not convinced, kill them directly, and there is no need to talk nonsense with them. ”

Wang Yue now has no time to argue with those gentry, so he can only pick up the butcher's knife in order to fight his way out.

Xiaohe laughed coldly: "Childe, don't worry, I will let them agree." ”

Listening to Wang Yue and Xiao He's words, everyone felt a chill. This time, I don't know how many gentry's heads will be dropped.

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

Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui's mansion.

A family member crawled into the mansion and shouted, "Young master, young master." ”

Wu Sangui frowned, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Jia Ding hurriedly said, "Young master, it's not good. The capital was broken by Li Chuang, the emperor and the crown prince were nowhere to be found, and the Wu family's mansion in the capital was also raided by King Chuang. ”

Wu Sangui's eyes were black, and he almost passed out.

His mansion in the capital was raided?

"What about Chen Yuanyuan, is there any news of Chen Yuanyuan?" Wu Sangui asked loudly.

Jia Ding shook his head and said: "The young lady is said to have been robbed by Liu Zongmin, and then dedicated to Li Zicheng, and now I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”

The rumor is terrible, Chen Yuanyuan has been rescued by Wang Yue, but when the news reached Shanhaiguan, it turned out that Liu Zongmin robbed Chen Yuanyuan and then dedicated it to Li Zicheng.

"Poof!" Wu Sangui spat out a mouthful of blood, his hair stood on end all of a sudden, and he tore off his hat.

This is a veritable "angry hair rushing to the crown for a red face".

"Li Chuang, I can't spare you. I want to go back to the capital, I want to destroy Li Zicheng!" Wu Sangui roared.

Jia Ding hurriedly persuaded: "Young master, we only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses now, and Li Chuang has hundreds of thousands of troops, even if we go back, we are not opponents, but we still have to guard the Shanhaiguan and guard against the Manchu Tartars." ”

Wu Sangui laughed madly and said: "The city of Beijing has been breached, the Ming Dynasty has perished, what kind of Shanhaiguan are I still guarding? Is it great that Li Chuang's army of hundreds of thousands is great, I want to open the Shanhaiguan Pass and let the Manchus go south, and I want to use the forces of the Manchu Tartars to destroy Li Zicheng! How can I, Wu Sangui, not report the hatred of taking my wife?"

"Ah!" The family was so shocked by Wu Sangui that he couldn't speak, and borrowed troops from the Manchu Tartars, which was terrible.

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

Two days later, Dolgon received Wu Sangui's surrender and immediately laughed: "Haha, okay! My Qing Dynasty finally has the opportunity to march into the Central Plains!"

"Lord Wang, Daoist Yu Zhenzi asks to see you. "The guards came in to report.

Dolgon's brows furrowed, Yu Zhenzi is back?

"Let him in. Dorgon said.

Yu Zhenzi came in, knelt down and saluted: "Poor Dao Yu Zhenzi, please meet the prince." ”

Dolgon sneered: "Protector of the country, you haven't done any of the things that this king asked you to do, and you still have the face to come back?"

Yu Zhenzi went to Beijing City this time. Not only did he not get the loan papers, but he didn't even kill Chongzhen. It can be described as a fiasco.

Yu Zhenzi said embarrassedly: "Lord Wang, this failure can be regarded as a reason. Poor Dao didn't expect An Jianqing to be a grandmaster martial artist, and even Yuan Chengzhi's kid was in the palace. ”

Dolgon frowned and said, "Yuan Chengzhi, can't you even kill Yuan Chengzhi?"

Yu Zhenzi said: "Lord Wang, Yuan Chengzhi is also a grandmaster martial artist now, although his skills are not as good as mine, but if I want to kill him, it will cost a price." At that time, it was in the imperial palace in the capital. Even if I kill Yuan Chengzhi, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape. In desperation, I had no choice but to give up. ”

Dolgon sneered, "Well, this time the king will forgive you. You also know that you have failed several times. It has already made the emperor very dissatisfied. Since Yuan Chengzhi has repeatedly done bad things to you, he has a good relationship with Wang Yue. You go and kill Yuan Chengzhi. If you fail again, don't come back. ”

Yu Zhenzi also knew that Huang Taiji was indeed a little dissatisfied with himself during this time, and none of the things he asked him to do were successful.

Even if Yu Zhenzi is a grandmaster martial artist, he is not successful. In the eyes of Huang Taiji, it is also a waste.

Yu Zhenzi knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Don't worry, the prince will definitely kill Yuan Chengzhi and come back with his head." ”

After Tamako went out. Dolgon sneered, "Rubbish." ”

A few days ago, Cao Huachun came to Shengjing and took refuge in Dolgon.

There was an extra grandmaster by his side, and Dolgon was naturally very happy.

You must know that Cao Huachun and Ao Bai are strong at the same level, and with Cao Huachun's help, Dolgon will be able to compete with Huang Taiji.

Although Yu Zhenzi listened to Dolgon's orders, he was still Huang Taiji's person in the end, and if Yu Zhenzi was squeezed out, Huang Taiji would have a big help by his side.

If Dorgon wants to save Da Yu'er, he must not only strengthen himself.

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

Yuan Chengzhi took Wen Qingqing back to Huashan, and less than ten days after the two returned, Mu Renqing and Mu Sang Daochang also returned.

Yuan Chengzhi saw Mu Renqing and asked, "Master, aren't you serving in the Chuang Wang Army either?"

Mu Renqing shook his head and said, "King Chuang, he has changed. He's now started to kill the minister. The old man doesn't want to work for King Chuang anymore, maybe Wang Yue is right, I'm really old, and my eyes are dazzled. I didn't expect King Chuang, he was really just a rogue leader. ”

Yuan Chengzhi sighed and asked, "Master, what are you going to do in the future?"

Mu Renqing said with a smile: "What else can the old man do? Naturally, he will die in Huashan, and by the way, he will pass on the mastery of my Huashan faction." ”

Mu Sang Dao Chang said: "Old monkey, why don't you go to Wang Yue's kid's army to serve, he is doing well in Nanjing now, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future." ”

Mu Renqing was disheartened, shook his head and said, "Forget it." In this big event in the world, the old man doesn't want to take care of it anymore, and he can't manage it. The old man is still at ease in Huashan to accept apprentices and teach art. ”

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

A month later, Wang Yue, who was in Nanjing, received news that Wu Sangui had surrendered to the Manchus and opened the Shanhai Pass to allow the Manchu Tartars to enter the customs.

Li Zicheng's army was routed by the Manchu Tartar army, and the city of Beijing fell into the hands of the Manchus.

Wang Yue handed the letterhead to Xiao He and said, "You can also take a look." ”

After Xiaohe read it, he said coldly: "Childe, I didn't expect that what you predicted really happened." Wu Sangui defected to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng's army was defeated, and the city of Beijing changed hands again. Next, the army of the Manchu Tartars is afraid that they are going south. ”

Chen Yuanyuan had tears in her eyes, she didn't believe that Wu Sangui would take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Wu Sangui is handsome and heroic, Chen Yuanyuan has always thought that he is a great hero and a hero, she is proud of being able to marry Wu Sangui, but now Wu Sangui has taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. This made Chen Yuanyuan very sad.

The corners of Da Yu'er's mouth turned up slightly, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

Wang Yue looked at Da Yu'er, sneered, and said: "Da Yu'er, what are you happy about? Do you think that Huang Taiji can really win the world? I sue you, impossible, now that I have controlled six provinces, just by virtue of population and wealth, I already have the qualifications to fight with Huang Taiji." ”

Emperor Chongzhen's name is easy to use, and Wang Yue only took more than a month to control the hole cards of six provinces. The rate of expansion is staggering.

Da Yu'er smiled and said, "Wang Yue, you are doomed." It is impossible for the army of the Ming Dynasty to win the Eight Banners of our Qing Dynasty. ”

Wang Yue sneered: "Really, Da Yu'er, you are too confident. The Eight Banners are not invincible, you wait and see how I destroyed the Manchus. ”
