Looking at Cheng Xiaolian's battle, Duan Chen laughed disdainfully: "Just like you, can you still achieve the cause of the king?" Don't make the world laugh off their big teeth! ”

Cheng Xiaolian stiffened his neck: "The son of a daughter can't sit down, I'm in this situation now, if I come to see you alone, in case you don't know where the tendons are wrong, and a sword stabs me to death, who will I talk to?" ”

Broken Chen's face changed when he heard that there was a mistake, and then he sneered: "I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you, you hurry up and hand over my apprentice, let's go to the sky, if you still have a conscience, it's best to remember how my father died." ”

Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "Although I really want to hand over your apprentice, I can't hand it over now." ”

Broken Chen's face changed: "What happened to you?" ”

"I didn't do anything to her, it's just that she came to assassinate me yesterday, but the assassination didn't work but was restrained by me, to say that this girl is too strong, I asked her to send her out of the city, who knows that she rushed towards the knife at one end, if it weren't for the fast enough reaction of my Jinyi guard, I'm afraid she has gone to see Hades."

"Where is she now?"

A brocade guard beside Cheng Xiaolian hurriedly stood up: "In a courtyard on East Street, His Royal Highness also ordered someone to take care of her. ”

Duan Chen glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Let this person take me to see my apprentice." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Zhao Da, you go with him." After speaking, he glanced at Duan Chen: "If there is any need, just mention it to them, not for anything else, your father died for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and the court should have descendants of his descendants." ”

Broken Chen didn't speak, and followed Zhao Da to East Street, before Cheng Xiaolian could return home, Yang Youcai also rushed over: "Your Highness, Kuimen is urgent." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was taken aback: "What's wrong with Kuimen?" ”

Yang Youcai immediately raised his voice: "The joy of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Qin Yue reported, on the 15th, because Meng Ke and Hu Dadao were making trouble behind their backs, Geng Jingzhong had no choice but to lead troops back to help, Shang Zhixin was lonely and difficult to speak, and he was defeated in a row, and on the 17th, Lord Qin Yue led the mountains and rivers army to rush out of Kuimen, and Shang Zhixin was already defeated!" ”

Cheng Xiaolian was still stunned, and the surroundings were already cheering, and Cheng Xiaolian was still a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that Shang Zhixin practiced day and night, just waiting for the counterattack on Kuimen?" ”

Yang Youcai laughed: "It's the turn of the cunning rabbit three holes, the interests of the family are above all this kind of political means, Shang Zhixin is definitely the best, but when it comes to military training, he can't even compare to Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong also learned some real skills from his father, Shang Zhixin has learned almost his father's means of playing with authority, but this ability to lead soldiers to fight is really far behind." ”

Cheng Xiaolian hasn't reacted yet: "What do you say?" ”

"The barracks are full of rectal men, once they go to the battlefield, they have to hand over their backs to the other party, these people look down on Shang Zhixin's means of controlling the whole army, and his subordinates are not willing to accept the killing, but they have to press the previous charge of rebellion, no one is a fool, with such a commander, who dares to hand over his life, as the saying goes, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, he does not treat the soldiers sincerely, and the soldiers also fool him, and he usually does not work hard in training, so although Shang Zhixin's strategy is correct, but the soldiers are too bad."

Cheng Xiaolian's heart suddenly remembered a sentence from the Tao Te Ching: its government is boring, its people are pure, its government is inspected, and its people are lacking. The meaning of this sentence is that the system is generous and clear, and the people are simple and loyal; The system is harsh and dark, and the people are cunning and complaining. If Shang Zhixin didn't use those methods to deal with political opponents against his soldiers, his soldiers would definitely fight and kill, and this would definitely not be the result in the end.

Historically, Shang Zhixin's defeat may not have such a reason, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty went all out to deal with Wu Sangui in Huguang, and there was the assistance of the Zheng navy along the coast, he was defeated again and again, and I have to say that the means of leading troops to fight are really not very clever.

Now that Qin Yue has killed Kuimen, and the mountains and rivers army has also begun to map the lake, Cheng Xiaolian can breathe a sigh of relief. Qin Yue has been holding back this breath for a long time, the sweeping northern army has conquered two provinces, and the mountain and river army has not yet advanced an inch, those who know understand that they have no supplies, and those who don't know think that they have no ability at all.

Now with such an opportunity, Qin Yue just wants to keep a low profile, and his soldiers will not agree, like Wen Ruzhen, Ma Jiugong, Jiang Guotai, these people were chased out of the Ming Dynasty by others, Wen Ruzhen is still the master of Siam, didn't he come back to restore the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, if it was for comfort, I am afraid that he would have been in Siam for a long time.

Shang Zhixin was killed and defeated to see Geng Jingzhong, Geng Jingzhong's brows were furrowed tighter than him: "Brother Shang Shi, it's not that I don't want to help you, you look at my current situation, I just ransomed my son back, and killed the king of Jiangling, and now that my vitality has not recovered, where is the spare strength to help you?" ”

Shang Zhixin swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Brother Geng Shi, if you let the Ming army in now, it will really lure the wolf into the room, and the two of us will die sooner or later without a place to be buried!" ”

Geng Jingzhong thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Otherwise, let's ask Wu Sangui for help?" ”

"Wu Sangui? He is an old wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones, if we take refuge in him, I am afraid that there will not be even bones left. ”

Geng Jingzhong pursed his lips: "If Wu Sangui can accept us, we can still have a way to live, if Wu Sangui doesn't accept us, let alone the bones, we will not have a place to bury when we die!" Don't forget how the Manchus entered the customs in the first place! ”

Shang Zhixin sighed: "It's only like this now, let's let someone go and give Wu Sangui a clue first." After all, it is easy for people to misunderstand when a large group of people passes. ”

Who knew that when their people arrived at Wu Sangui, they didn't even see Wu Sangui's face, Wu Sangui was not so sick that he couldn't see anyone, he was busy with a major event in his life, this major event is a height that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime, this thing is, to be the emperor.

In the winter of the fifteenth year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui ascended the throne in Hengzhou and became the emperor, with the country name Da Zhou and the year name Zhaowu, and set up his wife Zhang as the queen and his grandson Wu Shifan as the crown prince, which was two years earlier than the emperor in history.

After the news came out, the world was shocked, and many people scolded Wu Sangui at home for being shameless, when he started the army, he obviously played the banner of recovering the Ming Dynasty, but now he has made such a show, and everyone in the world feels that he has been fooled!

In fact, the rule of the Ming Dynasty may not be very good, and there are many people who can't afford to eat, but Jiangnan does not have this situation, you must know that Jiangnan is rich, and there is no silver to pay taxes, so they will not starve to death to their own people in the same city.

Therefore, the people in the Jiangnan area are very nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty, especially the Manchu Qing Dynasty carried out several massacres in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the people and the court deviate from morality.
