The world is always unfair. Some people are turning wine into songs in Wenrou Township, and some are busy putting out fires in various parts of the city. But the worst of all are the three people drinking the wind outside the city.
Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo.
The three of them were ordered to rush from the dusty Puzhou, thousands of miles away, to the capital with broken legs to help in the battle. Unexpectedly, they did not send a single soldier and only watched the excitement for a while before being ignored outside Tongzhou City.
Fortunately, the three of them also knew what the little eunuch was thinking, so they kept their tails curled up and listened to the order. Until yesterday, when they were ordered to lead their troops back to the capital, they camped on the bank of the Tonghui River ten miles outside Dongzhimen to wait for the order.
The three of them were armed with heavy troops, and they were all big men in the army. They had their own channels to know some things in the city and even in the court. When they heard that the court was going to have a military parade in the near future, they would discuss their merits and reward the soldiers and horses. They were happy at first. After all, they had succeeded in suppressing the thieves. They can get a share of the pie, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to wait outside the city, and they would obviously be participating in the military parade.
But it soon became less happy. Three thousand soldiers from the camp in the north of the city took turns to enter the city every day, but no one came to tell them. They were also killing enemies and bandits, so why did they prefer one to another? What was even more annoying was that they came from thousands of miles away. The rations for the light-packed emergency trip to Puzhou have been exhausted. What they have on hand is what Wu Weiying left before returning to Beijing the day before yesterday. They are about to bottom out, but there is still no supply in the city.
"It seems that not only are we not welcome by the little eunuchs, but also the court and even the emperor are not welcome to see us." It was dark at night, by the Tonghui River, Liu Zeqing hummed.
"It doesn't hurt that my mother doesn't have a kiss and my uncle doesn't love me. I really feel aggrieved. Damn it, I shouldn't have thought about good things in the first place." Liu Liangzuo was cursing, but Gao Jie, who was always irritable, looked relaxed: "If you don't give it, we will take it. Isn't it said that only babies who can cry will be fed? Let's just cry hard."
After saying that, he did not go to comfort the two people: "Two brothers, a little impatience will mess up a big plan. At this time, we are under the roof of others and have to bow our heads. When we should be soft, we should be soft. When we should act well, we should be well-behaved. I don't want to think about why. The little eunuch and the court treated us like this just to see if we could lose our temper so that we could seize the opportunity. You have to know how many people are jealous of what we gained from suppressing thieves. Not only the little eunuch is jealous, but the court is also jealous!"
Liu Zeqing couldn't help stroking his hands: "I can't tell that you are still such a careful person on weekdays. In order to boost the morale of the army and let us contribute, the young eunuch casually promised to keep the income privately. Now it is obvious that both he and the court regret it, so he pretended to be like this. , If you want to bring bad luck to us, you should be careful, just like General Gao said, be a good and obedient person and wait until you pass this level."
"I think so," Liu Liangzuo frowned and said, "If someone is sincerely looking for trouble, he can always find a reason. It would be better to spend money to eliminate the trouble and smooth things over. Maybe the other party will get along and let it go."
"What do you mean?" Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie both understood the meaning.
Liu Liangzuo was straightforward: "We have gained a lot of money, so just show some filial piety to the little eunuch. Blocking his mouth is equivalent to blocking the court's mouth."
"That's true. After all, he was the one who gave me the fat job at that time. It would be shameful not to show some filial piety." Gao Jie said and looked at Liu Zeqing: "Old Liu, what do you say?"
Liu Zeqing was considered a bachelor and spread his hands: "It should be so. Now we don't blame him for stumbling upon us. It was because we didn't think carefully before and forgot about him as a well digger. We should discuss this matter carefully."
At the same time, hundreds of miles away in Shanhaiguan, a man couldn't sleep and walked up to the city and walked along the old dragon's head to the seaside.
This person is not Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief Gao Di, but Ningyuan Commander-in-Chief Wu Sangui!
Why did Wu Sangui appear in Shanhaiguan?
I was ordered to rest here on my way back to Beijing.
The day before yesterday, a decree was sent to the capital to summon him back to Beijing to participate in the military parade.
Wu Sangui was overjoyed that the imperial court was going to reward people based on their merits. However, a secret report came with him, saying that the Qing army in the pass had been defeated and was retreating north in embarrassment. It should be closely monitored.
Wu Sangui was shocked that the young eunuch was so tough. He had worked with Chang Yu and had seen his methods and knew how powerful he was. But he could go from being chased to the south and beaten back again in just over a month. This kind of perseverance His courage and courage are really worthy of admiration, and in front of the elite Qing army who are all cavalry, he can actually make them surrender and sue for peace with their tails between their legs, and even compensate a large amount of losses, which is simply unbelievable! unimaginable.
Dorgon's 30,000 cavalry entered the pass, but they were chased, intercepted, dug and buried alive by the eunuchs. Only half of them escaped from the pass. The men and horses were exhausted and morale was low. Not to mention the food and grass were exhausted, there was nothing to be afraid of. So after Wu Sangui made some arrangements, He led hundreds of soldiers into the customs and returned to Beijing to participate in the military parade, because it was related to his future.
When I arrived at Shanhaiguan, I met with Gao Di and listened to a lot of information inside the customs, so I fell asleep.
If he had not been responsible for neglecting the Qing army's surprise attack on the pass, Wu Sangui would have been fully confident that he would be able to join the Zhu Kingdom and shine on the lintel of the Wu family. However, it was disturbed by Dorgon's bad move.
Since Dorgon led his troops into the pass, Wu Sangui sent people to inquire about the news. If the Qing army killed a few people, it would have little impact on his career, but if they were ruthless, his future would be ruined.
It's a shame that Dorgon not only turned the capital upside down, but also led his cavalry southward deep into the hinterland to persecute thousands of miles. This made everyone in the government and the public hate it with hatred. Wu Sangui also shouted, "Destroy!"
The Qing army entered the Pass and wreaked havoc for thousands of miles. The imperial court was furious and would hold him accountable for his oversight. Now let alone Zhu Guo, he was afraid that his Ningyuan army would not be able to save it, and he might even be asked to withdraw his troops from Ningyuan and enter the Pass.
Of course, in normal times, the imperial court would not dare to touch him rashly, but now that the imperial court has a young eunuch who is good at fighting and invincible, many people originally felt that Ningyuan was an isolated city outside the pass and had no strategic significance, so they asked to withdraw their troops and enter the pass to guard elsewhere. Now it is really possible to take advantage of this opportunity. Another moth arose.
Thirty thousand Guanning cavalry guard the isolated city outside the pass alone. This is Wu Sangui's strength and bargaining chip, but once they are withdrawn into the pass, they will gradually disintegrate.
These days, the only one who has soldiers in hand is the master, but Wu Sangui doesn't want to!
The little eunuch succeeds and the little eunuch fails. Wu Sangui has mixed feelings about Chang Yu. The little eunuch turned the tide and defeated the Tatars and escaped, which exempted him from heavy responsibility. However, because this kid was too powerful, the court had no confidence. If you act based on his expression, you might even touch him.
It is no wonder that Wu Sangui suffered from insomnia and was suspicious of ghosts.
Because the court's attitude is unclear.
As a family of generals, Wu Sangui had people in the court. His father, Wu Xiang, was good friends with his second assistant, Wu Lin, and Taichang Shaoqing, Wu Linzheng. He also had a personal relationship with Li Yutian, the former governor of Liaodong. He would quickly know what was going on in the court. of.
However, the strange thing is that during the nearly two months from the time the Tatar entered the customs to the time he left the customs, almost no one in the court mentioned him!
And now the emperor has summoned him to Beijing to participate in the military parade with an imperial edict. Is it a reward or...
Wu Sangui couldn't guess, but he was sure that the court would never touch him now. Looking at the dark sea, with the sound of waves hitting the shore, Wu Sangui firmly grasped the sword at his waist. This was when the Qing army entered the customs last year, and he went to King Qin Emperor Chongzhen gave him the Shangfang Sword in Wuying Hall.
Fortunately, Jinzhou City was not touched. Wu Sangui sighed secretly. Only if there is injustice outside the country and the mountains and rivers have not been restored, Wu Sangui will be useful, and the court will not touch him!
The rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked, this principle remains unchanged through the ages.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about entering Beijing this time!
"Sir, it's raining," the attendant behind him said softly. Wu Sangui was startled, raised his hand and opened his palm, and sure enough, it was raining: "It's raining, it's nice, it's cool." He laughed and returned.
