Chapter 432: Mu Zhiqing's dowry

Mu Zhiqing put the pocket watch on her cheek, as if she could still feel His Highness's body temperature.

Suddenly, the door of the house was pushed open, and a delicate little girl shouted before she could enter: "Miss, there is your letter!" When she lifted the curtain, she couldn't help but smile, "Hehe! Miss, are you thinking about Your Highness again? ”

"Snow tea?" Mu Zhiqing hurriedly put down her pocket watch, her pretty face was slightly red, "Don't talk nonsense, where is it?" ”

"I don't want to." Xue Cha raised her hand proudly, "Then you definitely don't want to see His Highness's letter!" I'll go and give it back to the eldest young master. As he spoke, he made a gesture to leave.

"Wait! Bad girl, no serious all day! Mu Zhiqing hurriedly jumped up and snatched the letter, and pretended to be angry, "Who said I didn't want to read it?" ”

"Hmph," the little maid smiled, "I know!" ”

Mu Zhiqing carefully opened the envelope, looking at the "fly-headed small letters" written with a "pen" on the paper, only to feel that a heart was pounding, and her pretty face was bright red.

Xuecha quietly poked her head over, "What did the letter say?" ”

Mu Zhiqing turned around like an electric shock and blocked the letter, "Don't peek!" ”

"Oops! Tell me, good young lady! I'm so curious! "Snow tea is pitiful, and it is a kowtow.

This snow tea is a maid who has served Mu Zhiqing since childhood, and she is like a sister, the latter bites her lip and looks at the foot of the bed with beautiful eyes, but her face is red to the root of her ears, "Your Highness said...... He had already asked for Concubine Chen's approval," her voice grew quieter, "the palace will be there soon...... Come and propose ...... family."

"Wow! That's great! Xuecha jumped up and down excitedly, "Miss, reply quickly, just say that you are at home every day waiting for the matchmaker to arrive!" ”

"Phew," Mu Zhiqing smacked her, "How can a girl talk like that?" Like I can't get married. ”

Although she said so, when the little maid left, she still immediately set up the pen and inkstone, took out the handkerchief in her arms, and wrote down Juanxiu's handwriting, "Jun passed the ruler from the fish pond, and I left the square handkerchief to know." Jun Na Fangpai upside down, horizontal and vertical silk. ”

After writing, she folded the handkerchief properly, lowered her head and thought about it, took out the paper again, and roughly wrote down the battle situation of the Tung Ge Dragon. Half a month ago, on the basis of Zhu Linmiao's strategy of cutting off the water source of Shadingzhou, she proposed to Mu Tianbo and asked him to prepare more laxatives and pour them into the water near Bai Gelong. Since then, the misery on the mountain has been unspeakable, even more difficult than when the water was cut off, and a large number of people have recently descended the mountain to beg.

At the end of the letter, she wrote: The sand thieves will be destroyed in a few days, and there will be no more war in Yunnan, so Your Highness should concentrate on the great cause of the Northern Expedition.

Then she put the handkerchief and letter paper into the envelope, looked east, smiled and said to herself: "Your Highness, may Zhiqing share your worries ......"

As soon as the envoy of the Auxiliary Government Palace's proposal came out of Fujing, the Lijiang Mufu had already received the news.

Not only Mu Yi was pleasantly surprised, but the whole of Yunnan was shaken - when did the imperial court look at these border toasts? And now the Mu family of the Naxi clan is going to have an auxiliary princess! What an honor?! With this precedent, wouldn't they also have the hope of integrating into the upper class of the Ming Dynasty in the future?

Ahead of the proposing team, the official document of the Ministry of Officials was sent to Yunnan a few days later, and it was said that because Mu Yi had made a contribution to quelling the rebellion in Shadingzhou, he was crowned as Zhongnanbo, and he was hereditary. In addition, Long Zaitian, Zuo's, Feng's, Li's and other Tusi who participated in the counterinsurgency were also awarded the honorary titles of second and third grades.

Among them, there is also the instruction of Princess Chen, and the addition of Earl Muyi also makes the background of the auxiliary princess more beautiful.

But neither she nor the officials expected that this move would have an unexpected effect.

Mu Yi immediately submitted the table after he was sealed, and he wanted to resign from the post of prefect of the Lijiang Military and Civil Government, leaving only two mountains and 10,000 acres of land for his descendants to live in, and other places in Lijiang asked the imperial court to send another official to manage it.

He could see clearly that if he relied on His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King, he would definitely be more than an earl in the future, and the glory and wealth of the Mu family would be guaranteed for generations. In this case, it is necessary to support the auxiliary king.

And the Mu family's most effective help to the auxiliary king at this time is to help him add a huge political achievement to change the land and return to the stream. Compared with the marquis who even became a prince like Mu Tianbo in the future, what is the small prefect of the Mu family now?

In addition, Lijiang's "big gift" is also regarded as a daughter's dowry.

……

Dorgon sat down on his chair like a clay statue, and swept around the people in the study with a gloomy face.

Jierharang, Tan Bai, Fan Wencheng, Cai Shiying, Wang Shixuan, Ma Guangyuan and other important Manchu and Han ministers of the Qing court were all there, and in front of them threw several Tang newspapers or folds. Coincidentally, all this bad news arrived in Beijing on the same day.

In the early morning, Tong Yang, the governor of Huguang, and Jingzhou urgently asked for reinforcements. It is said that Chuang Kou Yu Gao Yigong and others led more than 20,000 troops to storm Jingzhou day and night, and now there is only less than a month of grain and grass left in the city, and arrows and lead bullets are lacking, if the imperial court does not send reinforcements, the minister can only die with Jingzhou.

At noon, it was the news that Prince Yu Haoge had lost Guangyuan the day before yesterday. At present, General Jingyuan led an army of 40,000 troops to retreat to Ningqiang, but the army of Xiankou was extremely fierce, and Prince Yu had planned to continue to retreat to Hanzhong to hold on. In addition, the Ming army of Chengdu and Chongqing, Qin Zuoming and other troops captured Baoning, and constantly forced the sacrifice to the north, on the other hand, there were relief and sacrifice of grain and grass from time to time, or the two have merged.

Before dinner, it was the most "lively", and there were three concerts in a row.

First, the Yunnan line reported that the rebel army of Shadingzhou had been extinguished, and Mu Tianbo led the army back to Kunming. This means that the Ming army in Yunnan can go north to reinforce Sichuan at any time, and the pressure on Prince Yu's side will be even greater.

Then there was the Shandong emergency report, saying that the Zichuan Hao clan Xie Qian gathered people to rebel, although there were only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, but its weapons and armor were extremely sophisticated. The defenders of the Zichuan Green Camp were invincible, and the rebel army had entered the city at noon yesterday. Sun Zhiqi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites in Zichuan Province, was slaughtered all over the house.

The last one was the heaviest one, and it was to appease the southern governor Hong Chengchou in a hurry, the Qiantang Naval Division was defeated by the Fujian Ming Army a few days ago, and dozens of officers of the Naval Division's chief soldier Kaha and below were killed, and the warships were lost. Now nearly 40,000 troops of Ma Degong's army are trapped on the south bank of Qiantang, and there is no food and grass supply, and they are in danger. Scholar Hong asked the imperial court to transfer water into Hangzhou Bay as soon as possible, otherwise Ma Degong's ministry would not be able to be guaranteed, and the major events of the southern expedition would not be sustainable.

Seeing that everyone was bowing their heads and silent, Dolgon suddenly slapped the table, and his voice was as cold as ice, "Are you dumb? Speak! ”

He pointed to Hong Chengchou's recital, "Let's talk about what to do about the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what to do?!" ”

It's no wonder he was angry, in the past, when he fought in the Qing Dynasty, it was the Han people in the green camp who stabbed Lou Zi to defeat the battle, and then the Manchurian soldiers went to clean up the stall and get the war merits, even if the Han people made meritorious contributions, they often found a way to count them on the heads of the Manchu generals.

And this time, Kaha has lost an adult!
