Chapter 90 Can't Die at Dawn

From beginning to end, Mu Tiantao did not ask the emperor for his will, nor even asked Emperor Zhu Yujiao's opinion on his rough behavior.

After returning home to bathe and coming out, Mu Tiantao, who was like a butcher, was gone, and was replaced by the personable beloved.

Mu Tiantao, who had been busy all day, started to eat, and Zhu Yujiao stood on the side to give him vegetables, like a shy little daughter-in-law.

Mu Tiantao, who had eaten half of it, raised his head and looked at Zhu Yujiao and said, "The capital can't hold it!" ”

Zhu Yujiao said: "Then it's good to live and die together." ”

Mu Tiantao frowned and said, "Yushan Academy doesn't teach students like this. ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said, "I'm a princess, it's different." ”

Mu Tiantao picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said: "If one day, Yushan is breached, Yun Zhao will definitely run, and he will definitely run extremely resolutely." ”

"He's a rogue!"

"It's wrong again, Li Hongji is a rogue, Zhang Bingzhong is a rogue, but Yun Zhao is not, he has always been in Guanzhong, in the governance of Guanzhong, the construction of Guanzhong, has never stopped for a moment.

I have to say that he has changed from a small family of thieves to a family of emperors step by step. ”

"He will always be a thief in my eyes."

"This is natural, but in the eyes of the world, he has become the emperor, and he is the emperor chosen by the people."

"Shameless, he compares himself to Yao Shun!"

Mu Tiantao looked at Zhu Yujiao with resentment and said: "If the emperors after the Ming Dynasty are all selected, then there is indeed no big problem for him to compare himself with Yao Shun." ”

Zhu Yujiao's body trembled slightly, and she said with difficulty: "Are you also optimistic about Yun Zhao?" ”

Mu Tiantao shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm optimistic about him, this world is now his, whether it is about strength or people's hearts, no one in the world can match." ”

"So, what about my father?"

Mu Tiantao nodded and said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. ”

After speaking, he continued to bow his head and eat.

Zhu Yujiao said with a crying voice: "That's why you told me that the capital can't be defended?" ”

Mu Tiantao was silent.

With the coexistence and death of Ge Xuning, the prefect of Qingzhou, in Qingzhou and the city, the whole of Shandong has completely fallen under Li Hongji's horse's hooves.

Immediately, Cangzhou, Hejian, and Jinzhou were in a comprehensive emergency, and the emergency documents were almost three times a day.

Li Hongji's army has arrived at the border of Hejian Province, and so far, Dou Wenguang, the prefect of Hejian Province, is clearing the wilderness.

Xingping Bo Li Yantun commanded the state and vowed to fight to the death with Li Hongji......

Since he got in touch with the Lantian Secret Spy Division, Mu Tiantao's vision has become extremely broad in an instant.

He not only knew that Li Hongji, who called himself Emperor Dashun, had arrived at the front line in Cangzhou, but also knew that Liu Zongmin was heading for Shunde Mansion and Li Jin was heading for Zhending Mansion.

The army of thieves has cut off the canal, and Tianjin is also in danger.

The emperor has ordered Liaodong Tiecai, who has just eased the situation, to enter the pass, and Cao Bianjiao, Bai Guangen, and Wang Pu rushed to reinforce the Beijing division.

He also ordered Du Xun, the eunuch of the prison army, and Jiang Ping, the general soldier of Datong who did not have a territory of Datong, and Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of Xuanfu who did not have a territory of Xuanfu, to lead 60,000 soldiers and horses and go to Jinan to defend it.

At this time, eight months had passed since Li Hongji captured Jinan.

Datong Mansion has long become a place for Li Dingguo to raise horses, and Xuanfu has also been made by Li Dingguo to get hundreds of thousands of farmers to farm, Datong City, and Xuanfu City have been under the trusteeship of Lantian officials until now.

Lantian officials once sent countless official letters to Jiang Jian, the chief soldier of Datong, and Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, hoping that they could come back and govern the place well...... It's a pity that none of the two wanted to come back.

The broader Mu Tiantao's horizons, the less confidence he has in Daming. At this moment, he just wanted to have a good fight with the traitor.

The reason why he told Zhu Yujiao that the people in the capital were scattered and that there was no way to guard it was to hope that Zhu Yujiao could understand his painstaking efforts and persuade the emperor to leave the capital and go south as soon as possible.

Mu Tiantao even believed that taking advantage of Lantian should be the safest way for the emperor to go south.

However, he could not say this sentence in any way.

Zhu Yujiao suddenly sat on Mu Tiantao's lap, her little face was flushed, and she almost used all her strength to say to him: "I'll accompany you to die here!" ”

Mu Tiantao grabbed Zhu Yujiao's still trembling waist and said, "Why do you have to die if you can live?" ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said, "There is no way to live." ”

Mu Tiantao said: "You can go south." ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said: "It's impossible, Shi Kefa, the prefect of Tianfu, decided to raise troops and serve the king, and the men and horses, grain and grass, and armor were all ready, and he suddenly found that this army did not want to listen to him."

Not only did the soldiers and horses refuse to listen to him, but even the nobles in Nanjing City also opposed the King of Soldiers.

Bai Guangen, Wang Pu, and Cao Bianjiao also delayed coming, saying that there was no grain and ordnance, and they could not be pulled.

My father vomited blood, and while he was unconscious, I secretly watched the recitals of these people, brother, as you said, the Ming Dynasty is over. ”

Mu Tiantao picked up the desperate girl and put her on the brocade couch, kissed her on the forehead and said, "You are already very tired, you are safe here, you can sleep for a while." ”

Zhu Yujiao looked at Mu Tiantao shyly and timidly and said, "Accompany me." ”

Mu Tiantao said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, what we have is time, if your father is willing to let you marry me, we will live well in the future." ”

Zhu Yujiao grabbed Mu Tiantao's sleeve and said, "Wait until I fall asleep and then leave......"

Mu Tiantao smiled, sat on the edge of the brocade couch, took Zhu Yujiao's cold little hand, and told her about Liang Ying in the academy......

This is a topic that the two of them never get tired of talking about when they are alone, some stupid, some shrewd, and some eccentric Liang Ying can always create enough new topics for them.

"When I left Yushan Academy, Liang Ying told me that if I wanted to stay, she could consider marrying me...... I told her that it was because I thought she might marry me that I ran away...... You don't see her face, it's almost dark. ”

"Hahaha......"

"Another time, this stinky woman actually told me that she didn't want to see you take a shower, and said that she could help me dig holes in the wall......"

"Indecent!"

"That's right, that's what I said."

"Hahaha, do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it, I can watch it slowly in the future......"

"Nonsense...... I'm so sleepy. ”

"Then close your eyes and sleep well, and I'll be watching over you outside."

"Don't tear my shirt...... Can be unraveled slowly...... I didn't bring a change of clothes ......"

Mu Tiantao smiled and put the blanket on Zhu Yujiao's body, and sang in a low voice: "Brother Crab, Brother Crab,

Eight and eight feet,

Two big eyes,

A hard broad.

A crab with eight legs,

Two eyes as big as wide,

The two clamps are sharp and pointed,

I can't walk and I can't get up,

A crab with eight legs,

I can't get into the water,

The two clamps are sharp and pointed,

I can't shake it off with any of them,

Brother Crab,

Eight and eight feet,

Two big eyes,

A hard-shelled shell.

Brother Crab Crab,

One by one,

Eight feet and eight feet,

Please don't come and clip me,

A crab with eight legs,

Two clamps are so big and wide,

I can't walk and I can't get up,

If you are caught by it, you can't shake it off,

Brother Crab,

Eight and eight feet,

Two big eyes,

A hard, broad, ......"

Mu Tiantao sang for a long time, this is the nursery rhyme that his mother once sang to him, today somehow, seeing Zhu Yujiao panicked and scared, and a little stubborn, he couldn't help but want to comfort her, and this nursery rhyme that can always calm him down should also be effective for this poor princess......

After other women enter Yushan Academy, they will always open a new chapter in their lives, but this little woman can't do it, and her father has destroyed her home.

Xue Xiucai outside the door had already appeared at the door twice, Mu Tiantao knew that it should be Lantian secret spies, those people were always very punctual, and the time they said would never change, as accurate as the huge chiming bell he had seen in Yushan.

Zhu Yujiao grabbed her sleeves very tightly, Mu Tiantao took off her coat, gently covered her body, and then tiptoed out of the hall, as soon as he left, a string of tears rolled down Zhu Yujiao's white little face.

Closing the door and instructing the maid to take care of it, Mu Tiantao followed Xue Xiucai straight to the huge back house of Mu Wangfu.

Seeing seven or eight carts parked in the back house, Mu Tiantao frowned slightly and said to the two black-clothed men who covered their eyebrows indiscriminately: "How did you transport these in?" ”

A man in black with a familiar voice spread his hands and said, "Load, transport the goods, and then send them to the corner door of your house, this old guy opens the door, and we come in." ”

Mu Tiantao said with some grief and indignation: "Are the people guarding the city dead?" ”

The man in black smiled and said, "Why do I think you don't want the goods?" ”

Mu Tiantao said: "How many goods?" ”

A man in black lifted the oilcloth on a carriage, pointed to the two dozen wooden barrels in the carriage and said, "1,200 catties of gunpowder." ”

Another man in black lifted the mask of another carriage and said, "Five thousand grenades." ”

As the masks on the carriage were uncovered one by one, Mu Tiantao sighed.

1,200 catties of gunpowder, 5,000 grenades, 800 flintlock bird guns, 600 oil bombs, 300 phosphorus bombs, and 30,000 cannons were sent to his back house by Lantian spies in a swaggering manner.

Mu Tiantao couldn't even figure out where all the sentries who were staring at his house outside had gone, could it be that they weren't interested in these things?

The man in black with a familiar voice spread out his hand and said, "Chenghui tattoo silver fifty thousand taels." ”

Mu Tiantao pointed to the front hall and said, "There is silver, can you take it?" ”

The man in black smiled: "Unload the goods and load the silver." ”

Soon, the goods on the carriage were unloaded, and a room full of them was placed, and at the same time, 50,000 taels of silver were also loaded into the carriage, and the black-clothed man led by him said to Mu Tiantao: "This is just a hidden place, I am worried that you will use it urgently, so I will send it to you first."

If you still have money, we'll move on to the next deal. ”

Mu Tiantao said: "How much, how much I want." ”

The man in black sighed and said: "Don't force yourself to death, good days are coming, just like our majesty said, everyone must take care of their health, it would be too unjust to die before dawn." ”

Mu Tiantao said: "I won't die." ”

The man in black was overjoyed, patted Mu Tiantao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, as long as you don't look for death, what you learned in the academy is enough for you to survive safely." ”
