Chapter 67 The long two years of Chongzhen

Chongzhen's two years have been very long.

It has been a very uneventful year. For the young new emperor Zhu Youzhen, he had already begun to feel the coolness coming from behind him from the high spirits that had just eradicated Wei Zhongxian.

In this year, Huang Taiji conquered North Korea and forced North Korea to remove the Chongzhen era name.

After hearing the news, the young Zhu Youzhen ordered Yang Ho to be executed.

The culprit who led to the fiasco of Salhu, from the forty-seventh year of Wanli, when he was dismissed due to military defeat, to the second year of Chongzhen who was killed, he recuperated in prison for ten years!

On the day of Yang Hao's execution, the sky was neither clear nor cloudy, not even wind, and after the head fell to the ground, because of the executioner's mistake, his blood was not completely collected into a blue and white porcelain vase, and some of it was splashed out, staining a piece of loess red.

On October 26, Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners Army to divide his troops into two routes, detoured through Mongolia, attacked the Great Wall Pass, Longjing Pass and Da'ankou and other places, and raided the Beijing Division from the north.

Three days later, Huang Taiji successfully broke through the Great Wall, on October 30, the army approached Zunhua City, Zunhua is in the northeast of the Beijing Division, 300 miles away from the Beijing Division, and the Beijing Division is in an emergency! On October 29, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, went from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, and got news on the way that the Houjin army had broken through the northern line of the Great Wall, and urgently arranged for Zhao Shuojiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to lead 4,000 light cavalry to go to Zunhua day and night to resist the forward forces of the Houjin army.

Zhao led the sect to gallop for three days and nights, traveled three hundred and fifty miles, and arrived in Zunhua on the fourth day of November, where he met the Houjin army, died in battle, and the whole army was annihilated......

On November 20, the Huang Taiji army arrived outside Beijing, the Ming general Mangui, Hou Shilu was defeated, and retreated into the urn city!

Outside the Guangqu Gate, Yuan Chonghuan Guan Ning Iron Cavalry and the Houjin Army also met at the same time, and Mang Gurtai led the four banner troops to attack the Ning Iron Cavalry.

Yuan Chonghuan personally led Zu Dashou, Dai Chengen, Wang Chengyin formed a zigzag phalanx to block tens of thousands of Houjin army, fierce battle for four hours, from one quarter in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Chonghuan was hit by several arrows, because he was wearing heavy armor, and did not penetrate, in the battle, the enemy slashed at Yuan Chonghuan with a knife, fortunately the retainer Yuan Gao was separated by a knife frame, and almost died.

After that, the Emperor's Taiji army gradually became unable to parry, and Abatai, Azig, and Sigel were defeated by the Guanning Iron Cavalry one after another...... In the middle of the night, Yuan Chonghuan led 500 artillery men to attack the Huang Taiji camp on all sides, and the Huang Taiji army was in chaos, so he withdrew from the outside of Beijing, and immediately returned to the north!

In the winter of November of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji transferred troops to the south, and the Beijing division was tight.

In order to keep Beijing, the imperial court urgently transferred troops from all sides to Beijing for defense.

The troops of Li Hongji, a border soldier in Gansu, marched with the general kingdom to Beijing and passed through Jinxian County, where the soldiers demanded pay, but the general kingdom refused to pay them.

As a result, the generals of the kingdom and the local county commanders in Yuzhong were killed, and the soldiers and civilians launched a mutiny.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Zhang Bingzhong plotted a rebellion, which was known to the squire, and the townsman failed to capture it and fled without a trace.

In the second year of Chongzhen, in December, due to rumors that Yuan Chonghuan had a secret agreement with Huang Taiji, hundreds of officials were impeached and Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned.

In December of the second year of Chongzhen, Wu Sangui returned to Beijing with his uncle and ancestor Dashou, and won the two victories of Guangqumen and Zuo'anmen, thinking that it was a great achievement!

Unexpectedly, he was abused as a spy, sleeping in the moat for half a month, the Beijing camp threw bricks from the city and killed three people, selected the front to go out of the city to hack six people, and the night patrol soldiers were killed or blackmailed, and when Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, the soldiers were already disheartened.

It is said that "with the loyalty of the superintendent, I can't avoid it, what is my generation doing here?" He didn't listen to Zu Dashou's orders, and ran straight to the east.

On the last day of Chongzhen's second year, Yun Zhao invited Xu Yuanshou, Yun Fu, Yun Meng, Yun Hu, Yun Leopard, Yun Jiao, and Yun Xiao to eat hot pot to celebrate the first pepper he planted!

The mashed chili pepper is added with eleven seasonings such as Sichuan pepper and star anise, and it is splashed with hot oil, and the aroma is tangy.

Pouring it into the milky chicken soup again, Yun Zhao burst into tears.

Mashed minced garlic, finely chopped coriander, chives, plus sesame paste, sesame oil, fried flattened beans, and freshly killed fat sheep, Yun Zhao didn't say a word after taking a bite.

It wasn't until the chopsticks were slapped away by the cloud that he withdrew his head from the iron pot.

"Did your mother and your sisters eat?"

Yun Zhao glared at Yun Meng and said, "They have exactly the same thing there!" ”

Yun Meng didn't reply, Yun Zhao wanted to drill his head into the iron pot again, but he couldn't do it several times.

Suddenly, he felt that someone was pulling his thighs, but when he looked down, he had little money, and his small bowl contained a lot of mutton.

When Yun Zhao was surprised, he found out that the mutton in Qian Shaoshao's bowl was stolen from the bowl of Yun Meng and others.

For the things in other people's bowls, Yun Zhao naturally didn't eat them, and when Qian Shao saw that Yun Zhao refused to eat them, he continued to shrink under the table and bury his head in eating.

A sheep, a pillar of incense was completely gone, and when Yun Zhao finally squeezed his head in, even the soup was missing in the big iron pot.

Yun Zhao was furious and smashed the small bowl in his hand on the ground, but everyone present was indifferent, only Qian Shaoshao suffered, and his fingers were injured by the broken porcelain pieces.

Yun Meng broke off a millet rod from the broom, and while picking his teeth, he said to Yun Fu: "Fu Bo, this is the most useful time for this kid, don't you say?" ”

Yun Fu nodded repeatedly.

Xu Yuanshou drank the last mouthful of soup, patted his stomach and said: "It's a bit like the chowder soup eaten by the coolies in Yanjing in Shuzhong, it's just that there are more chili peppers, hehe, I didn't expect this chili pepper to have such benefits, I drank a bowl of soup, my whole body was hot, and it actually made a certain family sweat all over the body in such a cold weather, which is a good thing."

After the beginning of spring, there must be many varieties! ”

The clouded leopard took a sip of wine and nodded repeatedly: "In the past, I always thought that eating was not as interesting as drinking, but this time it is different, eating is really more comfortable than drinking." ”

Xu Yuanshou picked up the tea bowl and rinsed his mouth, turned his head and spit out the tea water: "It's just vulgar, but most of your family are thieves, and this food is very suitable for your taste."

It's better to call it 'Kou Guo'. ”

Yun Zhao said disdainfully: "People have a name, it's called hot pot!" ”

Yun Meng nodded and said, "It makes sense, after eating this thing, there is fire in the mouth and sweat all over the body, and it is called hot pot." ”

Yun Zhao said with bad intentions: "After eating this thing, it's not just the mouth that is on fire, you will know tomorrow." ”

Qian Shaoshao finally got out from under the table, called the mother-in-law of the family, took away the iron pot, cleaned up the table, and left only the wine and a charcoal stove, and he brought a lot of fried beans and walnuts and other dried fruits.

Xu Yuanshou looked at this scene of preparing to say a long word, got up and stood up, and said to Yun Zhao: "Be timid when planning and be bold when doing things." ”

After speaking, he left the room.

Yun Meng waited for Xu Yuanshou to go away, so he grabbed a handful of beans and ate them one by one, and after eating a few, he said in a low voice: "Wang Er, Wang Daliang died in battle, his remnants of more than 7,000 people attacked Sanshui County, and the guerrilla Gao Conglong was defeated and died." More than 2,000 officers and soldiers were wounded.

I've heard that it's been a lot of gains. ”

Yunfu sighed and said, "How much can you gain?" Where did Yansui come from a rich place where 7,000 people could be fed and drunk?

Even if Yan'an Mansion is richer, it is not something that seven thousand farmers can shake.

It is the people of the city who are unlucky, and you call the peasants plundering the people of the city a great harvest?

Let me tell you clearly, just like Sanshui County, if you scrape the land clean, it can't compare to the transaction that the young master did in Xi'an City. ”

Yunxiao smiled: "That's because we found the real fat sheep." ”

Yun Jiao laughed and said: "Yes, yes, Xiao Zhao, anyway, everyone is idle in winter, you think of another way, and we will fish hard again." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "The same thing must not be done again, and if you do it again, you must leave some more clues."

The last time the government couldn't find us, it was because we were lucky that nothing went wrong. You won't have to be so lucky if you do it again.

The seasoning package business at home is doing well, the cloud shopkeeper they actually came up with a business of soaking steamed buns with seasoning bags, after I improved it, after adding mutton fat, white radish and dried vegetables, it became a mutton soup steamed bun, it is said that the sale is not bad, in the winter, people who go far away like to drink a bowl, plus cheap enough, it is one of the few good businesses in Xi'an City, better than Lai Laoliu's mutton soup restaurant business.

In the coming days, the focus of our family is to plant new crops, and your key goal is to continue to make more mouths for our family under the banner of Monk Peng.

No one wants to be idle. ”
