It was the end of April in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and it was already the end of May in the Gregorian calendar. Zhending Mansion is located in the north of Hebei Province. It is not as hot as the grass in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not as cold and snowy as outside the customs. It is just right, neither cold nor hot. .
It was daybreak, and many soldiers in the Hutuo River were washing up. Some had just gotten up, and some had just finished their drills. Their coach, Huang Degong, swam naked in the river like an ordinary soldier. The river was slightly icy at this time. But this thick-skinned guy was sweating profusely after just practicing his sword skills, so he came here to have a good time.
"Commander General, do you still have another battle to fight today?" Huang Degong always got along with the soldiers without any airs. A soldier asked him loudly next to him.
"What the hell are you asking about the intruder? If he comes, we'll fight him. If he doesn't come, we'll ask him to beg you." The soldier laughed loudly and asked, "Sir, will the thief come again today?"
"You have to ask the Governor about this. He can figure it out, but I can't." Everyone laughed loudly again: "General Soldier, then you go ask the Governor."
"Then I have to wait until I have eaten and drank enough before I go. I guess the young governor hasn't gotten up yet." Huang Degong went ashore and looked northwest, where he could vaguely see the city of Zhending.
How could Chang Yu be a bedridden person? He got up early, boxed a few times, washed up and went to visit Ma Shiyao. Hearing that he had fainted last night and still hadn't woken up, he told the doctor to try his best to save him, thinking that this chest injury would also be a lifeline in future generations. Worry, all those who can be saved these days are those with a fatal fate. Thinking of Chi Qingshi, a master of archery, he couldn't help but shudder.
After coming out of Ma Shiyao's small courtyard, Chang Yu took his guards up to the city. They walked around the city in a very boring way, and looked for Ji Ji to learn from each other, but they only stopped there. At this time, they had to report to Li Guo and ask for an audience. He was asked to come over.
Li Guo was in good spirits. He went to the city and saw Chang Yu competing with his guards. He watched from the side. The more he watched, the more frightened he became. He knew that the young eunuch was brave. He almost beat up Li Zicheng's men when they faked surrender in Taiyuan, but he couldn't. The personal guards around him are all so powerful.
"As expected, my uncle will be here today. Li Yan must have taken action in the north, and maybe he is chasing after him right now. The Lord Governor has allowed me to go back and persuade him to surrender. Since I, Li Guodong, have agreed, I must bring the words to you, but there is one thing I still want to confirm. Is it up to me to do what the governor has promised? Have you ever told the emperor that if the emperor does not allow us to surrender, wouldn't it be..." Li Guo and Chang Yu stood side by side and looked toward the east where the warm sun was rising.
Chang Yu was startled and nodded slightly: "What you said is absolutely true. I will immediately send someone to the palace to report this matter. As soon as possible, the matter will be answered tomorrow. I will make the decision. If your uncle is sincere, this matter will be solved." It will happen!”
Having said that, Chang Yu actually had no idea, because he knew that in history, Li Zicheng went to Beijing to negotiate with Emperor Chongzhen. He only wanted an upright title, so he immediately withdrew his troops and helped him defeat the Qing army and drive out foreign humiliation. However, Chongzhen's self-esteem was too strong and he refused, and eventually the city was destroyed and the country was destroyed.
But at this moment, at that moment, Chang Yu will try his best to persuade Chongzhen. If Li Zicheng really surrenders, he will first give him a false name, and then send him out to regain the lost territory. If he succeeds, he will be regarded as atonement. If he wants to kill him later, he will find a reason. , if you fail, it’s better to find an excuse.
Let it and the Qing army consume each other dog-eat-dog, and the Ming Dynasty will use this to regain its vitality. Even if both sides are not harmed, they will have the strength to deal with them one by one. He feels that Emperor Chongzhen may be tempted. After all, no one knows better than himself what kind of ruin the Ming Dynasty is now. , now we can still have soldiers and money to fight the war, it is all supported by Chang Yu's racket of deceit and abduction. If it really goes on, the court cannot afford it!
A troop of troops was approaching from the southeast quickly. Chang Yu guessed that it was Huang Degong who came to see him. He raised his hand and asked Li Guo: "Your troops will be defeated when they encounter this governor. Do you know why?"
Li Guo looked confused at first, then slowly fell into deep thought. After a while, he raised his head and said: "It's not that the officers and soldiers are incompetent, but it's actually that the officials are incompetent. It's not that the officers and soldiers are disadvantaged in fighting, but it's just that they don't fight!"
Chang Yu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "You finally understand." He raised his hand and pointed at Huang Degong's men who were approaching and said sternly: "You are invincible all the way. It's not that you are so awesome and know how to fight, nor that the officers and soldiers can't beat you. But they have no intention of fighting at all. Now that the governor is in charge, the morale of the officers and soldiers is high. Once they show their true skills, they will be defeated. You can't win even if they fight several times!"
"If the officers and soldiers fought like this from the beginning, how could we become bigger?" Li Guo's face didn't change, he looked sideways at Chang Yu and sneered!
"Yes!" Chang Yu let out a long sigh: "The court is incompetent and the officials are corrupt, giving you and others an opportunity to take advantage of it! But it is a pity that your good days are over. Now I have several troops under my command who dare to fight well. , it’s better if you don’t encounter it, but if you encounter it, there will be no way to survive, so it’s better to surrender as soon as possible!”
"Lord Governor, there is no need to provoke me with words, and there is no need to be so overconfident. The Ming Dynasty is riddled with holes, and there are so many people in trouble. How can we just rely on the few people under the Lord Governor to get here? It's easy for people to fall over if they drift away. "My uncle, after the Eastern Expedition, it went too smoothly. He was hit hard by you in Taiyuan. After going north, he drifted again, and he didn't expect to meet you again..." Li Guo said with a long sigh.
Chang Yu chuckled: "I have a fate with your uncle. Furthermore, this is not called drifting, this is called confidence! If you don't believe me, just take a look. Within two years, I will change the Ming army's appearance and avenge its previous shame!"
Li Guo glanced sideways at Chang Yu under the sun. He was about to taunt him, but he found that the man in front of him was as popular as a river and as quiet as a mountain. He was so charming and impressive. He almost blurted out that I believe it!
"Lord Governor, there's a fight. There's a fight in the government office!" At this time, soldiers reported urgently. Chang Yu thought it was a conflict between people from the Black Panther Battalion and Ma Shiyao, so he wanted to go over and asked casually: "Who is it?" Picking the first one, because of what?".
"I don't know, anyway, Commander Wu is fighting with Hao Yaoqi!"
Chang Yu stopped in shock when he heard this, and then laughed: "It's not called fighting between the two of them, it's called beating someone up!" He must have thought that Wuzhong had heard a lot of angry things from Lao Jiu and had nowhere to vent, so he picked on Hao Yao. Qi, the wine can also had a temper that exploded at a moment's notice, and the two of them had sex, but how could Hao Yaoqi be Wuzhong's opponent.
"The Lord Governor came to the city early in the morning to have a good time. You are such a good-natured person." Huang Degong came up to the city and was startled when he saw Li Guo: "This strong man looks familiar. Huang Degong, may I ask what the strong man is called?" .
Li Guo snorted coldly and turned around to leave. Huang Degong was in full bloom and was laughing loudly.
Chang Yu rolled his eyes at him: "嘚SE"
"Hey, the general almost suffered a big loss after several battles with this thief. So what if he finally caught him and slapped him? Oh, by the way, why did the governor let him out? He wasn't afraid of him running away!"
"The governor not only released him, but also let him go," Chang Yudan said lightly. Huang De was in a hurry, so Chang Yu told him about the surrender.
Huang Degong was silent for a while after hearing this: "It would be a good thing if the intruder is willing to surrender. I'm afraid that the thief still can't see the situation clearly or is so wild that he doesn't bother to hang out with us!"
"Then he is looking for death." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and Huang Degong frowned again: "Then if the intruder really surrenders, can the court really let him go, or can you, Lord Governor, let him go?"
Seeing him looking like a gossip, Chang Yu smiled strangely: "Guess!"
"I'm too lazy to think about things that hurt my brain. The water will come and the troops will come to block it. When the rebels come, you just greet me and just go into battle. I'm too lazy to worry about anything else, and I can't figure it out." Huang Degong stretched his body: "Today is really a good weather. ".
Chang Yu hummed and joked: "Why did you come to the city if you didn't go out for a horse ride in such a nice weather? If the intruder comes and you are not here, it would be a pity to miss it!"
Huang Degong breathed out: "The intruders are not that fast. According to the spies, Li Guo's remaining soldiers are gathering at the Dasha River. There is no movement at the moment. I will go into the city to have some fun and count. Yue has never touched a woman, I’m so greedy.” He winked, turned around and left for the city.
Chang Yu was stunned. Although it is not illegal or shameful for women to be promiscuous these days. On the contrary, it is an elegant thing, but it is still a shame for the dignified general to come to have fun early in the morning.
It is said that this Zhending City is a prefectural city. Although it was once occupied by bandits, due to Li Zicheng's order not to disturb the people, the city is as usual, and all kinds of livelihoods are open as usual, including brothels, restaurants and theaters.
When Chang Yu saw Huang Degong leisurely going down to the city to have fun, he suddenly thought of Tu Yuan and his subordinates. They had not been angry for more than a month. They were unbearably lonely and should not follow Huang Degong to have fun. The war was not over yet and he could not indulge them. He asked Kuang Ren to send people to knock on the door, and those few people were not allowed to leave their posts at will, and were not allowed to drink and go to brothels.
As soon as the soldiers left, they saw Wuzhong rushing up to the city angrily, and Li Laoyuan yelled: "Supervisor, give me a group of men and horses to leave the city. I will go and pick up Liu Zeqing's dog head."
