Wu Yongbao is a northern goods merchant. Unlike most businessmen who have a round face and often smile, like Maitreya Buddha. Wu Yongbao is more like a soldier, a soldier who is ready to draw his sword and gun at any time.

Of course, what can confirm Wu Yongbao's identity is that as long as you want to find any northern goods, you will definitely be able to find them from Wu Yongbao's trading house. However, most of this kind of business is bought from those under Wu Yongbao. If you really want to deal with Wu Yongbao, you have to have a good face to meet. If this face is enough, if you want to have a good horse Korean ginseng, you can get it with taboo armor and crossbows, and even extremely taboo artillery.

It is even rumored in the Beijing division that Wu Yongbao once held a red cha for a big man in the ministry, and personally killed a once prominent Hui merchant to the ground, and really sat down on Wu Yongbao's identity as a military merchant.

That's right, Wu Yongbao is not only a businessman, but also a soldier. Even, Wu Yongbao's original surname was not Wu at the beginning. Naturally, after following a general in Liaodong, he changed his name. Knowing the many big names at this level, it is logical to know the people behind Wu Yongbao. can also understand how powerful Wu Yongbao is a military businessman.

In September of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the Jingshi finally had some coolness, and the scorching heat of midsummer began to gradually subside. In a private room located in the Yanle Hutong of Jingshi, the sound of silk and bamboo was gently raised, and Chen Yan, who was thin and a little old, was lying in a soft chair relaxedly, slightly raising his head, looking at an eight-foot-tall and sturdy man in front of him and said: "In the end, it is you border towns who take the grace given by the imperial court over the years for granted. I don't want to think about how sad the court is. After all, it's only a matter of a few years, and it's been relieved in a blink of an eye. Daming has a wide world. There are countless good ministers and fierce generals. How did the crown prince conquer the world, but forget it? This before and after the merry character, which one is worse than the general of Liaodong? You tell the old man's words to the top and bottom of Liaodong. You are no different from these courtiers, and if you really think that there is any honor, but you are good at straightening your minds. ”

"Yes, yes. Chen Xiang's words are exquisite, and the villain remembers them in his mind, and he must not dare to forget them. The man who nodded like a chicken pecking rice was Wu Yongbao, a famous man under the bed in Jingshili. Pity the wealthy businessman who dominates the Beijing division and business sea at this moment, bowing his body, like a shrimp.

Chen Yan paused, not much joy, and stared carefully at the man in front of him. Seeing the calm eyes under the other party's flustered expression, he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, the old man's words are here, you also know my number, if you can't see it within ten days, then you have to send that Wu Sangui a sentence: Don't be unpredictable!" ”

After speaking, Chen Yan got up and left.

"The villain sends Chen Xiang off." Wu Yongbao hurriedly followed the past, and did not mention the farewell gift. Seeing the back that Chen Yan no longer saw after turning the corner, Wu Yongbao straightened up and restored the face of the wealthy businessman who dominated the capital.

"This old dog Chen is really bold, 500,000 taels of silver. How the hell did his dog's brain come up with that number! It's a shame that he dared to speak! Wu Yongbao was furious.

"The shopkeeper is angry." At this time, a man in the tent came over and said softly: "After all, he is also the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty." The appetite of 500,000 taels is not so expensive to exchange for such a life-and-death decision that provokes the Lord carelessly. As for whether to change it. In the end, we are not qualified to do so. Instead of being annoyed by Chen Yan's bloody mouth, it is better to find out what happened to the building. It can also make it worthwhile to think behind the Lord. ”

Listened to this Confucian consolation. Wu Yongbao finally calmed down, sighed, and said: "I don't know, it's just that I have no qi at all, and a country is the prime minister, but he is like this." Didn't he stir up the matter of Shanhaiguan Jinyi Wei Fanzi? This blackmail is simply ...... That's it. ”

Wu Yongbao slowed down and said, "As for that matter, I don't think it's necessary to investigate it anymore." This court is muddy, where are a few sober people. This kind of thing where relatives hate enemies is fast, and only a dog thief like Chen Yan can do it. Let's save time and pass the news to the Lord to wait for a decision......"

……

On the road to the Forbidden City, Si En looked solemn: "Is this true? Do you really want to send Chen Yongfu and Fu Rugui to the north? In this way, it will be difficult for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to control each other! ”

On his side, there was Wu Fu, a university scholar: "Chen Yan has no other skills, but there has always been no lower limit to such nonsense, and Si Gonggong should have heard of it." Besides, the stakes in the suppression of bandits are not simple. ”

Zhu Cihong was willing to go on an expedition to Korea to solve the affairs of Liaodong, which could be said to be a great relaxation for Emperor Chongzhen. In Emperor Chongzhen's view, this is indeed a good way to solve mutual suspicions, Zhu Cihong's expedition to Korea will not cause the Beijing division to be sensitive, and it also leaves an opportunity for Zhu Youzhen.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen continued to preside over Shaanxi for the time being, and asked Zhang Pu to deliver money and grain, in an attempt to revive the situation of suppressing bandits.

Everyone knows what Zhu Youzhen wants to do with the help of bandits, and it is nothing more than to reverse the embarrassing situation that his father is not as good as his son.

It's just a pity that the time is no longer there.

Sun Chuanting's decline has plummeted, and the situation in Shaanxi is particularly bad.

Naturally, it also made the topic of bandits quite embarrassing in the center.

The remnants of the Royal Guards Regiment left by Zhu Cihong in China and the situation of curbing the expansion of the Liukou in the north and south were certainly loyal to the country, but it also made Emperor Chongzhen feel even more embarrassed.

Just imagine, as soon as Emperor Chongzhen made a move, the situation deteriorated, and Zhu Cihong's troops immediately redeemed it. Who should this Ming world listen to?

If the person who gives the order no longer speaks correctly, and there is another person who has the right to give orders, it will be difficult to say who will be in the world in the long run.

If Emperor Chongzhen didn't feel anything about this, and he naturally focused on the overall situation, then naturally there was nothing to say, and no one would mention it. Zhu Cihong is not an uninteresting person, and he will use this to stimulate his father.

But Chen Yan came out, with three words capitalized above his head: ignorance.

He wrote a suggestion and said: "The elite of the Ming Dynasty has the Royal Guards Legion. Since it's a Guards Legion, why don't you protect Gyeonggi? Pacify Liaodong? Now Jiannu is coming. He should send strong troops to serve the king. ”

As for the situation in Shaanxi and Sichuan, Chen Yan said lightly: "You should have a division to deal with it." And he brought it with him.

And so it goes. Emperor Chongzhen felt embarrassed.

He did feel some of the annoyance of the cup to open the scar, but when he looked closely, he also felt that it was a way to quench his thirst. At this moment, Jiannu claimed that 500,000 soldiers and horses were going to attack in a big way, and Shanhaiguan also saw that he was no longer loyal to Zhu Ming.

Even, in the shadows, Chen Yan couldn't have a little bit of a mind to take advantage of the situation to split and devour this Royal Guard Legion.

Moreover, the allocation of strong soldiers to the king is justified. It's irresistible. Except for Zhu Cihong, who is qualified to say nothing, the others don't even have a reason to help.

"In this way, when the time comes, I can't say that I will instruct Chen Yongfu to go to Shanhaiguan...... This is using the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as personal bargaining chips. Si En thought in his heart, but he couldn't speak, so he had to say: "I have to think of a way to do this." ”

When Wu Fu heard this, he was not very optimistic, but he did not continue to talk about it, but said, "That's right." Father-in-law, I haven't asked yet, what is the important thing to enter the palace today? ”

Si En is one of Zhu Cihong's representatives, and he usually doesn't move indiscriminately in the Jingshi. Today, he also specially attacked to see Emperor Chongzhen. That's obviously something. Wu Fu is so enthusiastic, and he is obviously quite kind.

"Oh......" Si En suddenly smiled: "I forgot to say it too...... Your Highness, ......"

"A big victory?" Chongzhen looked at Si En in front of him and walked around the table. When he walked up to Si En, he almost pinched Si En's shoulder and asked, "Is it really a big victory?" ”

"Holy Mingjian. This is a good news written by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Our Ming Imperial Guards Regiment has already defeated the Korean rebels in alliance with the Korean vassal state of Hwanghae-do, Hwangju-shariwon, and the Korean rebels. Now, North Korea has returned to the Ming Dynasty. My Ming soldiers are also pointing directly at the hometown of Liaodong, and the recovery of Liaodi is just around the corner! Sien said loudly.

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's body trembled slightly, and he immediately opened the envelope, perhaps because he was too excited, Zhu Youzhen even didn't hold his strength, and tore the envelope messily with a bang.

Fortunately, this dismantling does not affect the reading. Zhu Youzhen pasted two pieces of paper and read them carefully word by word: "Father and Emperor himself, the child has won the victory over Jiannu with the Ming Chongzhen 16th year August 29, 30,000 soldiers of the two armies and Huangzhou City, on the same day, Huangzhou was recovered, and three days later, North Korea was recovered. At this moment, the troops should have been directed towards the Yalu River. My Daming Navy Division is also a cannon against the homeland of Jiulian City. Daming Wansheng! Son-in-law Zhu Cihong handwritten. ”

At this time, the clever Wang Chengen bowed to the ground and shouted: "Slave and maid congratulate the saint on this great victory, this is the great Ming of heaven, the great victory of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"The slave saint has won this great victory, this is the grace of heaven, and the Ming is victorious!"

"Congratulations to the Holy God for this great victory, this is the great grace of heaven, the great victory of the Ming Dynasty!"

……

Si En and Wu Fu also chanted.

Chongzhen's face was ruddy: "Okay, good, good!" ”

After saying three numbers with a face, Emperor Chongzhen stopped, picked up a different document again, and tore it up violently: "Jiannu dog thief, aren't you rampant?" Come on, come on. My son Zhu Cihong also led the army to the Yalu River, and my Ming soldiers are strong and strong, and I am not afraid of your blackmail! ”

"Hahaha!" Zhu Youzhen laughed.

Wu Fu stood up proudly, and suddenly felt like tears were streaming down his face.

How many years have passed, since Nurhachi's army raged in the Wanli years, it has been a long time since the Ming Dynasty dealt with the border troubles in the northeast region.

The first battle of Zhangqiu back then could only be said to destroy the invading enemy, which was far from raising eyebrows.

But now, the betrayed vassal state was pulled back into the camp, and most of the opponent's soldiers and horses were encircled and annihilated on the opponent's territory. What a pride, what an exhilarating victory.

This battle really straightened up the long-lost trick of the Ming Dynasty, and it made Zhu Youzhen, who had almost few big victories since he ascended the throne, finally be able to breathe out happily.

Wang Chengen on the side was even clearer, and when he saw the broken things and a few pieces of Mongolian and Manchurian paper, he immediately recognized them. This is the letter of the Qing Kingdom sent by Chen Yan a few days ago.

Or rather...... Afternoon.

In it, there is no shortage of words threatening to persecute Zhu Youzhen.

In addition to the threat of war, he also proposed to divide the river and rule, so that the Ming State served the Qing State as an uncle and nephew.

Such a contemptuous act naturally aroused the anger of Emperor Chongzhen.

But when this anger was paired with the rumors that Wu Sangui was going to defect from Shanhaiguan, it suddenly made the last emperor of the sad emperor unable to stiffen his waist.

Finally!

His son, Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, gave good news.

gave Daming a longed-for victory cheer.

"The glory of the Ming Dynasty has finally reappeared, won't it be ruined by the likes of Chen Yan......" Wu Fu was also excited.

It's just that Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

At this moment, Chen Yan actually strode over and shouted: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint!" This victory is a testament to the strength of the Royal Guards. With such a strong army guarding the Beijing Division, why worry about building slaves? With such a Beijing division in Gyeonggi, as long as one officer and army are sent to the east, Liaodong will naturally be peaceful! ”

Seeing Chen Yan say a word, Wu Fu and Si En's hearts sank suddenly.

Sure enough, when Zhu Youzhen heard this, he immediately said in his heart: "Yes, the Royal Guards Legion is not my son's private soldiers, this is the royal army, it is the army of the Ming Dynasty, why can't the king guard the Beijing Division?" The power of the First Battle of Kaifeng, the First Battle of Zhangqiu and the First World War of Korea still does not prove the strength of the Royal Guards? As for the mere rogue, isn't there still Sun Chuanting? Let him carry it for a while, and keep Gyeonggi in order to save the lifeblood of Daming! ”

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's expression, Chen Yan suddenly smiled, he glanced at Wu Fu and Si En, chuckled, and said: "It's better to send Tang Tong's department to pass on the success of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Shanhaiguan." In this way, Dingke Zhenshan Customs is stable, so that I have no worries about the Ming frontier! ”

"Good! As Chen Aiqing said, he ordered the household department to prepare a reward of 100,000 taels, encouraged the Tang Tong department, and ordered his department to move to Shanhaiguan to spread the victory of North Korea! Zhu Youzhen's face was high-spirited, and he didn't see the helplessness of Si En and Wu Fu at all.

The two of them were indeed helpless, but Si En was relieved in his heart: "At least...... The Royal Guards were not thrown to Shanhaiguan as cannon fodder, as they had been. It's just that in this way, Wu Sangui is really going to be greatly stimulated......"

……

In Shanhaiguan City, Wu Xiang was still pacing and thinking of a way. At this time, a pro-soldier came running quickly and whispered, "It's not good, it's not good." I heard that the imperial court moved the Tang Tong Department to Shanhaiguan, this is going to be a permanent station! ”

When Wu Sangui and Wu Xiang heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

At this time, another person walked in with a money rat tail and looked at the two of them with a smile: "This Ming Kingdom, I still can't trust you." It's better to enter my Qing Dynasty, the regent said, as long as General Wu comes, a prince will be offered with both hands! ”

Wu Sangui's face moved, and he had to admit that he was moved. (To be continued.) )
