"Tang Tong, the chief soldier of Jizhen"

Chang Yu said without thinking.

Tang Tong is a person, many people are not familiar with it, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was a general who put out fires everywhere before and after the saddle, and Hong Chengchou commanded the Songjin War when he had eight general soldiers, and he was one of them.

Although he didn't have much talent, and even became a second minister in the end, he was obedient and loyal enough compared to other generals with troops, although he almost never won any battles, and was defeated repeatedly, but as long as you let him go, he will go! Even if he surrendered in the end, Li Zicheng was forced to be helpless, and the situation was similar to Zu Dashou, and it was because of this that when the Battle of Songjin was defeated, so many general soldiers fled, such as Wang Pu was cut down for his crimes, (of course, Wang Pu broke the contract and ran first, which was the key to the defeat of the Battle of Songjin, and it was not a pity to die) and he and Wu Sangui and others were only demoted.

Just like this time Chongzhen issued an order, summoning the generals into Beijing, just like history, he hurried to come alone, and was sent to Juyong Pass before he arrived in Beijing, and then because Chang Yu defeated the thieves, the situation changed, Chongzhen asked him to Changping Marquis, and now he didn't have time to let him go where to go, someone opened his mouth to ask.

"Tang Tong had only 8,000 men and horses, while Tatar was reported to have 100,000 soldiers and horses."

Chongzhen frowned and looked at Chang Yudao.

"There are not many soldiers, eight thousand is enough!" Chang Yu said.

He knew that Tang Tong had been fighting for more than ten years, and his men and horses were all warriors who had broken through countless battles in the sea of corpses and blood, and their actual combat experience and combat effectiveness were far from comparable to those of the Beijing camp and the emperor's personal guards.

As for why they always lost the battle before, it had little to do with the combat strength, there were too many comprehensive reasons, such as discord among the generals, mistakes in command, and constraints in supervising the army......

"Since that's the case, I'll give it to you, I hope you can surprise me this time" Chongzhen nodded slightly, his eyes turned to the direction of Kunning Gate, thinking about something.

"Your Majesty, may I ask when Lord Shi will leave Beijing?" Chang Yu asked behind him.

"It was previously scheduled to be within three days, if you send people to him at this time, I am afraid that it will be within five days at the earliest, and you, the sooner the better, Wu Sangui outside the gate is a little busy, you go early and have a good morning."

Wu Sangui was in a hurry, in addition to facing the approach of the Qing army, there was also the change of the imperial court's order, first let him enter Beijing quickly, and then he dragged out all kinds of excuses, ready to give up Ningyuan, and led the people to move into the pass, and then issued an order from above, don't come yet.

The people complained that the army was unstable, and there was news that the Qing army was approaching at this time, so he was a little busy.

"Your Majesty, can you talk to Master Shi before you leave?"

The emperor is most jealous of collusion between foreign ministers and eunuchs, so this kind of thing is generally done secretly, and at this time, Chang Yu took it out to show that he was open from the bottom of his heart.

Chongzhen also knew that Chang Yu should be talking to Shi Kefa about his experience with thieves, so frank and business, he didn't need to stop him, so he nodded and agreed, and then asked Chang Yu to prepare for leaving Beijing.

"Minister, retire"

Chang Yu took a few steps back, turned around to leave, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately turned around: "Your Majesty, when the minister was playing in Wansui Mountain just now, he picked up a dagger" and took out the short knife that stabbed him from his arms.

"Bold Chang Yu, you dare to show the murder weapon in front of the emperor, what do you want?" Almost at the same time as Chang Yu pulled out the knife, Wang Chengen rushed over and scolded angrily.

"Don't dare!" Chang Yu knelt down.

"You get up" Chongzhen was expressionless, reached out and took the short knife from Chang Yu's hand, and stroked the blade: "It's a sharp blade, but how can there be a murder weapon in this palace inner garden, could it be that the guard was left behind?" Wang Chengen, check! ”

"The old slave obeys the order," Wang Chenen said, taking the dagger from Chongzhen's hand and putting it in his arms.

"Are you okay?" Chongzhen looked at Chang Yu and asked.

"Retire!" Chang Yu turned to leave, Chongzhen looked at his figure among the flowers, his expression was dry, Zhu Cihong beside him frowned, and Wang Chengen looked old, as if nothing had happened.

Chang Yu, under the leadership of a eunuch, went out of the imperial garden, but did not return the same way, but walked out of the palace from the Xuanwu Wumen Gate in the north.

After crossing the Tube River, he stopped and glanced back at the palace gate, took a long breath, and said to the eunuch beside him, "You go to Qianqingmen and tell Fang San to let him go...... Hey, no need" As he was talking, he suddenly saw Fang San running over from due east panting.

Chang Yu greeted him and chuckled, "Three, how do you know that our family is here?" ”。

Fang San gasped: "The little one inquired just now, and the little eunuch in the palace said that the emperor summoned you in the imperial garden, so the little one pondered, it is impossible for you to stay close and far away when you leave the palace, so he hurriedly ran over."

"You're getting smarter," Chang Yu nodded in admiration.

"Father-in-law Chang, Father-in-law Chunxiang is back, now the inner yamen is waiting for you" Fang San said in a low voice: "Master Shi will go to the cabinet, not in the military department."

"Hey, you kid won't be idle" Chang Yu Yile.

"Hey, born to run around, can't be idle, if you stand still, it's itchy all over......"

The two of them walked towards the yamen in the east factory.

As soon as he stepped into the yamen, Chunxiang hurriedly rushed forward, glanced left and right with a worried face, and said in a low voice: "Who dares to commit murder in the palace, it is really ...... He? ”

Chang Yu raised his hand and shook it gently, looked at Chunxiang and said, "You only need to remember one thing, and that is that this incident has never happened."

Chunxiang frowned, he didn't understand, but he was obedient and followed Chang Yu towards the inner courtyard.

"You came to me, I have something to do, I was just looking for you, I will leave Beijing within three days at the earliest, this time I will go to Ningyuan outside the Guanwai!"

So fast!

Chunxiang was a little surprised, and then even more shocked, "Where did you just say to go, Ning Yuan?" How to go where? ”

"Qinggou is here, Ningyuan is in a lonely city, Wu Sangui is alone, I want to go over there to wipe my ass" Chang Yu made a long story short: "What are you looking for me, but what about the assassin?" ”

At the mention of this stubble, Chunxiang immediately became annoyed, and scolded with hatred in his mouth: "That thief is extremely hateful, and he actually injured seven or eight of my subordinates in the cell last night!" ”

What the hell, this time it was Chang Yu's turn to be surprised, that assassin was extremely brave, but he had been tied into a zongzi, how could he still hurt Chunxiang's people in the cell, and how big it was seven or eight, it was incredible.

But it turned out that the assassin was escorted to the cell, Chunxiang knew his bravery, worried that the rope was not strong enough, so he planned to change the shackles, but at the moment of changing the shackles, the assassin rose up, broke the rope and fought.

This assassin is burly and powerful, in addition to his superb knife skills, his eight-pole fist is even more superb, and even Chang Yu is not an opponent in a single fight.

But fortunately, the assassin had no knife in his hand, and the cell was narrow, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei had more people, and there was no shortage of good hands, so he used the tactics of a sea of people to subdue him, but he also injured as many as seven or eight people, which shows that his fierceness is staggering!

Chang Yu was not angry but happy when he heard this, and rubbed his hands excitedly: "This kind of hard stubble is very satisfying to me, it's a pity to be a killer, Lao Tzu wants to take him away and take him to the barracks, but what has he ever tried?" ”

"This kid has a very hard mouth, but there are hard hands in our East Factory, and he still broke his mouth, and now he is known to be a native of Cangzhou, Hebei, surnamed Wu Mingzhong, according to him, martial arts is a family tradition, and his father really fought with Qi Shaobao......"

Wait, Chang Yu is suddenly a little chaotic, Cangzhou, Hebei, Wuzhong, Bajiquan, is there anyone else who has crossed this special one?

There is a saying in the origin of Bajiquan, this boxing originated from a monk or Taoist from a wandering party, the name of the madman, probably the figure of the Ji formula, this person passed the boxing method to Wu Zhong, a native of Cangzhou, Hebei, so the descendants respected Wu Zhong as the second ancestor of Bajiquan.

This Wu Zhong is deep in the essence of Bajiquan, strong in martial arts, once bravely entered the Shaolin Temple with a big gun, three in and three out like entering no man's land, and also beat the fourteenth son of Kangxi Yinyu to worship him as a teacher.

But during the period between Wu Zhongsheng and Kangxi, and the weapon of the envoy was a spear, and the envoy of Wu Zhong who assassinated Chang Yu was a knife, but the resumes of the two were too imaginary, no wonder he was horrified.

"Do you know who instructed it?" Chang Yu slowly regained his demeanor and asked again.

"He didn't know that there was a broker in the middle, and now the brothers are searching for the broker all over the city, and I believe it will soon be revealed!"

Good! Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Then Wu Zhong don't give him anything to eat before I leave Beijing, only provide water every day" said and beckoned to Fang San, who was serving tea and pouring water: "Three, go and inform Lao Hu to prepare the car."

Fang San responded, turned around and walked out, Chang Yu glanced at Chunxiang: "In addition to investigating the case, you also pay more attention to your own safety, whether it is inside or outside the palace."

Chunxiang raised his eyebrows, looking a little nervous: "Big brother, but what's ......?"

"It's nothing, you just need to pay more attention, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship" Chang Yu interrupted him: "Also, inform Fang Ba and the others, tonight the Xianju Building is discussed, you also go"

Chunxiang nodded: "Where are you going to go later?" ”

Chang Yu got up: "Let's see if the apples are ripe"
