Chapter 763: The Flower of Evil
Wang Dou came to Ji Junjiao's courtyard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She is a particular person, although she has not been in Guihua City for a long time, the layout of the house is already similar to that of Xuanfu Town, and it is gorgeous and graceful.
The north is very cold, so there is no need for a foot stove brazier here, it is all fire sandwich wall, floor heating, and then covered with a thick felt carpet to make the inside warm like spring.
In fact, many of the enjoyment of large families in ancient times will not be lost to later generations, so it is said that this fire sandwich the wall, floor heating, is much stronger than the air conditioning heating of later generations, will not be stuffy, warm from the ground, and conducive to health.
The cold turned, the snowflakes were like flakes, and soon people were white, Wang Dou stepped into the house with a chaotic jade, and immediately a warmth greeted him, making people feel comfortable.
Ji Junjiao and the young lady Chu Wanyun had already greeted each other at the entrance of the hall, and one said, "I've seen my husband." ”
One said, "I've seen Master Hou." ”
Wang Dou glanced at them, both of them were wearing mink fur embroidered jackets, but Ji Junjiao's color was dark red, and the young lady was wearing a plain white mink fur clothes. The same thing is that both of them are more beautiful than flowers, Ji Jun is charming and beautiful, and he is full of charm. The young lady is elegant and noble, full of young woman's charm.
Ji Junjiao came over and took off the cloak of the black fox fur collar for Wang Dou with a smile, and pulled him to the wine table in the room, where fine wine and exquisite side dishes were prepared, and there was a small brass stove next to it.
The young lady followed, her cheeks were crimson, and she was a little afraid to touch Wang Dou's gaze.
Ji Junjiao said: "The husband's political affairs are hard, and the concubine thinks about playing a song with Sister Bangyun Qin Xiao to relieve her husband's worries and boredom. ”
Wang Dou smiled: "Okay." ”
He sat at the front of the table, the aroma in the room was overwhelming, and he drank slowly while listening to the ensemble of Ji Junjiao and the young lady Qin Xiao, which was quite pleasant.
After the song, Wang Dou applauded gently, Ji Junjiao smiled sweetly, and the young lady was a little distracted, she glanced at Wang Dou and said to Ji Junjiao: "Sister, I'll go back first." ”
He complained to Wang Dou again, shook his steps, and walked away.
Looking at her back, Ji Jun smiled coquettishly: "What does Sister Bang Yun think of Sister Bang Yun's posture?" ”
Wang Dou glanced at Ji Junjiao thoughtfully: "It's not bad, but it's too far behind Madame." ”
Ji Junjiao giggled: "Husband's mouth is still so sweet." ”
……
The two sat and drank together, and then Ji Junjiao massaged Wang Dou on the couch, and by the way, it rained.
After the incident, Wang Dou leaned comfortably on her lap, how many years, Ji Junjiao still gave him a feeling of pleasure.
Ji Junjiao gently stroked Wang Dou's hair, and gently pressed the sides of his forehead, she seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly made up her mind, bent down, and gently said a few words in Wang Dou's ear.
Wang Dou said: "Nonsense." ”
I sat up.
Seeing that Ji Junjiao's expression was a little frightened, he sighed: "Jiao'er, you still don't know after so many years? What are you worried about? ”
Ji Junjiao calmed down, she smiled and said: "Husband, the concubine is indeed a little worried, people say that officialdom needs to be balanced, and this backyard is too." ”
She said: "Husband, think about it, are these sisters and sisters in the courtyard out of balance? ”
Wang Dou was stunned, he thought about it carefully, it was indeed so.
Among his several wives and concubines, Liu Qing, Liu Ji, butterflies, and dragonflies can not be mentioned, but in Xie Xiuniang's family, there are faintly more supporters Zhong Susu and Li Yunluo, and although Xu Yue'e is free, she is actually inclined to Xie Xiuniang.
But on Ji Junjiao's side, she is alone.
And she has not given birth to a son over the years, only a daughter Wang Sha, although she doesn't care, but she will inevitably have ideas. With the addition of Zhong Susu and others, it is no wonder that there will be a sense of crisis and foreign aid is needed.
Thinking deeper, Li Yunluo, who bought one and got one free, represented the thoughts and interests of the local gentry, Wang Dou got the news, and heard that after Li Yunluo received the house, the Li family in Xinzhuang celebrated with a crown, and the hearts of a large number of gentry in Baoan Zhou and other places settled down.
The gentry and landlords were represented in their own houses, and the merchants couldn't sit still, looking at the activities of the Li family patriarch and the actions of the young lady Chu Bangyun. And the combination of her and Ji Junjiao properly represents the expectations and interests of the official and business class under her rule.
Even Liu Qing, Liu Ji, butterflies, and dragonflies should not be underestimated when they go outside, although they are maids and maids, and they are from the concubine room, they can also speak for the class they were in.
Before you know it, the representatives of the interests of all parties in your room are gathered.
Sure enough, there is no trivial matter in the family affairs of the superior, Wang Dou secretly thought, it seems that he will pay attention to this aspect in the future.
At the same time, Wang Dou thought of Chu Bangyun, a woman, and he knew that rumors and rumors had been with her all these years. As far as she thinks, there may have been rumors anyway, so it is better to take this opportunity to make the fake become true, settle the matter, and settle the truth, so as to seek benefits for her family.
Especially in this chaotic world and the family has lost its support, she needs to find a thigh to hug her, so as soon as Ji Junjiao finds her, the two hit it off.
Based on Wang Dou's understanding of her, she has been chaste and self-controlled over the years, but she has not had ambiguous thoughts about herself, and she has seduced from time to time. Wang Dou felt that this woman was very scheming, so it was better to keep her by her side and take care of her strictly.
also reassured Ji Junjiao's heart, although Wang Dou was greatly dissatisfied with her worry about falling out of favor.
Wang Dou's mind turned quickly, and he quickly understood the pros and cons, and he said: "It's okay, let's not take it as an example." ”
He said to Ji Junjiao: "Jiao'er, in fact, you never have to worry. ”
Ji Junjiao snorted and obediently fell into Wang Dou's arms.
……
The next day, Ji Junjiao took Wang Dou to the young lady's courtyard, and after she pushed Wang Dou in, she brought the door with a smile.
After Wang Dou entered, he saw that the brocade tent was surrounded by a screen, and a table of wine and food was also placed, and the young lady was sitting not far away, she was holding the pipa, her head was lowered, and her cheeks were as red as rouge.
Wang Dou poured himself a drink at the banquet, listened to her play the pipa for a while, and patted his thigh: "Come and sit here." ”
The young lady answered softly, she put down the pipa, and came over gracefully, she sat on Wang Dou's lap, and her face was full of charming red. She didn't dare to look at Wang Dou, so she only buried her head deep in his arms and hugged him to death with both hands.
Wang Dou stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her soft waist, which seemed to be a weak willow, but the tentacles were plump and smooth, and at the same time, a faint fragrance rushed into his nose.
The beauty was in his arms, Wang Dou was a little emotional, he poured a glass of wine and drank it slowly.
The first time I saw the young lady was in Chongzhen for eight years, when she and Ji Junjiao were together, they were shocked, and many years passed in a blink of an eye.
It's like smoke.
……
On the 19th of the first month, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, asked himself to supervise the division and led the troops south.
At this time, Yanzhou had fallen.
But after the thieves besieged Yanzhou, the surrounding Ming troops did not move, whether it was Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Linqing, or Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Jinan, they all watched and did not react at all. Liu Fangliang thought that no reinforcements would arrive, so he ordered the siege of the city on the 10th day of the first month.
The defenders of Yanzhou held on, at this time the king of Lu Zhu sent a vassal to the domain, and the governor of Yanzhou, Deng Fanxi, saw that the thieves were powerful, so he persuaded Zhu Yipai to scatter the reserves to drum up morale, otherwise the big event would be gone, and it would be too late to regret it.
But Zhu Yi sent a miser, who was greedy and despicable on weekdays, and if he could give up money, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, crying and complaining about poverty. As soon as Deng Fanxi left, he quietly asked people to dig a cellar and bury all the gold and silver. Historically, these gold and silver were not discovered until the end of the Qing Dynasty by the British, who built a church on the site of Lufu.
The thieves attacked for five days, and Deng Fanxi led his subordinates, soldiers and people to hold on, and he took the lead in taking out all his savings to motivate the soldiers. The wealthy gentry in the city also donated money one after another, and they had money and grain to give food, and they shared the same hatred and hatred for the enemy, and were determined to defend the city.
They did not simply defend, from time to time organized night attacks by strong men, secretly went out of the city in the dark night, and killed and injured many people day after day.
Liu Fangliang couldn't attack it, so he thought of the matter of internal response, and on the sixteenth day of the first month, he got a deputy surnamed Liu as an internal response, and the city fell. After the city of Yanzhou was broken, Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu, hanged himself, the Lu mansion was looted, the king of Leling, the king of Yangxin and other county kings died, and Deng Fanxi and others all died in battle.
After Liu Fangliang conquered Yanzhou, he divided his troops to capture Ningyang, Dongping, Dong'e, Tai'an, Yanggu and other places.
As early as the beginning of the first month, Emperor Chongzhen sighed at the state affairs: "The thief is like this, no one outside the palace is responsible, and the treasury is exhausted, what will happen?" Can you do nothing? ”
Zhou Yanru thought that the emperor's favor to him was not as good as before, so it was better to invite the superintendent to please the emperor. Sure enough, after he asked himself to raise troops to the south, and said that he was willing to support the army with his family wealth, the emperor was overjoyed, and said again and again: "If you go, I should visit the ancient tui, and I dare not take it lightly." ”
On the fourteenth day of the first month, Zhou Yanru revealed that he was going to leave the teacher.
On the 16th, Guo Zhongyu was appointed deputy commander-in-chief to supervise and assist the Chinese army.
On the 18th, Emperor Chongzhen gathered hundreds of officials to the Temple of Heaven, to sacrifice to heaven and earth, to show the intention of the teacher, he worshipped: "Prime Minister Heshan, Minister Zhu Youzhen solemnly told Haotian God: the minister is Liangde, the heir guards Hongxu for ten years, deeply remembers the power of God's surrender, the weight of the ancestors, and dares to slack off......"
He wept bloodifully and told him that he hoped that his graduation would go well.
On the 19th, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Zhou Yanru to send out the army and salute the generals.
He personally drove the Zhengyang Gate and traveled for Zhou Yanru. Nineteen civil and military officials attended as observers, five provinces held the seal of Houbo, six cabinets, the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the general assistant of the Beijing camp. There are also banners and golden drums from the noon gate to the outside of the Zhengyang gate.
During the banquet, Emperor Chongzhen personally handed Zhou Yanru wine and said, "Mr. is going, just like me." ”
He gave three glasses of wine in a row, and the sword of Shang Fang was drawn from the drum music.
After Zhou Yanru went impassionedly, Emperor Chongzhen kept watching him go away and returned for a long time.
……
"Open the gates of the city, meet the king, and the king will not pay for food when he comes......"
In the distance, Yishui City suddenly burst into cheers, and in the earth-shattering ballad, the city gate opened, and then a large number of hungry people rushed out.
Old Hu laughed and said, "It's down again, it's really effortless." ”
Seeing that Kong San's face beside him was not very good, he couldn't help but laugh a few times.
After breaking into the camp of Keyanzhou, the main army also continued to enter Shandong, they attacked the prefectures and counties in different camps, but the prefectures and counties where they passed all fled, all the generals fled, and the cities obtained were effortless. Even if some state officials held on, they were often responded to by the starving people and opened the gates of the city.
In these years, Shandong has been in drought for many years, thieves are everywhere, only from the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, there are several large-scale rebellions, soldiers and thieves fight along the canal line, killing ten rooms and nine empty, the people are miserable. Moreover, Shandong is an important place for horse politics, and most of the broken horse breeders have turned into ringing horses, and this horse thief and thief are more everywhere.
The people had long lost confidence in the imperial court, and when they heard all kinds of notices to reassure the people in the camp, they also said that it was forbidden to kidnap and kill. There are also various songs and rumors such as "not bad, no food", and they all want to change their way of living. They eagerly awaited the arrival of the intruding army, and responded in droves, enthusiastically opening the door to the city.
Therefore, the battalions attacked everywhere, and the cities they captured were all effortless, and sometimes they could go down several cities in a day.
At this time, thousands of horses lined up behind the two, and the flag of the patrol camp flew high.
Lao Hu's mountain patrol camp already has 5,000 horses, he originally had 1,000 horsemen, because of the bravery of the battle of Tongguan, Li Zicheng personally rewarded 1,000 horses and mules, and he himself was promoted from the mighty general of the fifth grade to the general of the fourth grade of Guoyi. In the past few months, he has experienced the war of Guide, the war of Xuzhou, and the raids and plundering of various cities in Shandong, and a total of 1,000 horses and mules have been rewarded, and the number of horsemen in his camp has reached 3,000.
Judging from the news revealed to him by the general Li Guo, because of the many horses in Shandong, a lot of seizures were made, and soon their patrol camp could become an old battalion, and at that time everyone had war horses, and at least two.
Hearing the news, Lao Hu had a feeling of tears, it was not easy, he finally got through.
The team of 3,000 horses formed a black oppressive piece, they wore yellow uniforms, and they were firmly on the horses, and many of them had a fierce air on their faces. This day is a day of war, life and death are eliminated, swords and blood are fired, even if you are a bad seed, you have become a good man.
Zhi looked back at his subordinates for a while, and Lao Hu waved his hand heroically: "Enter the city!" ”
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded, smoke and dust billowed out, loess splashed, and a banner of hunting flew.
……
At noon, near Zhucheng.
As soon as he rode and galloped, he rolled the saddle and fell off his horse from a distance, and ran to the banner of Lao Hu, and reported: "Master Hu, the officials of the cities will flee, and now the local gentry organize the people to meet each other in front of the city, they carry cattle, sheep, wine and meat, and ask the little people from afar. ”
Lao Hu said impatiently: "The old rules proclaim the edict, Lao Tzu is not interested in going, send a team of people to take over the city, and we will go to the next ......"
……
Anqiu County, dozens of miles away.
Looking at the city in the distance, Lao Hu Xi said: "You can fight a good battle, and you are not a bad breed after all." ”
Kong San shook his head and said lightly: "Listen, there is an internal response." ”
Sure enough, the song of "Don't be bad, don't pay for food, everyone has a happy life" faintly sounded in the city, and the sound became louder and louder, and finally seemed to resound in the sky.
Then the gate of Anqiu County opened, and Lao Hu's eyes widened: "It's down again?" ”
……
In the afternoon, Gaomi County.
Lao Hu rode on a horse, and he saw that the city gate was wide open, and from the city gate came out of the people who surrendered, they had officials, generals, soldiers, and old gentry in the city and villages. They were dressed neatly, and when they had gone out of the city, they knelt down on this side, and then they got up, and knelt down again, and so on.
Then there was an overwhelming cheer in the city, and it was the people who were cheering.
Lao Hu looked over there dumbfounded, and he muttered, "Is King Chuang really so popular with the people?" ”
He opened his eyes wide and said, "If we really win the world, we can be regarded as dragon heroes." ”
Seeing that Kong San's face was pale, he hurriedly laughed and said, "Joke, joke." ”
Kong San was silent, and after a long time, he sneered: "Foolish men and foolish women, they only know the small profits in front of them, and they will suffer when the time comes." ”
Lao Hu echoed: "It is indeed ignorant and ignorant, ignorant and ignorant......"
……
A steady stream of news from Shandong has been brought to the Imperial Palace, and now the Ministry of Intelligence is operating at full capacity, with the latest news coming almost every day.
All the important officials and generals of the Imperial Protectorate also gathered in the General's Palace, and they looked at the sand table map every day, drawing on it the latest progress of the camp, the distribution of the situation in all aspects, etc., and the progress of the situation was clear at a glance, and it was clear at a glance.
It was not surprising that the thieves were invincible in the Shandong Club, but it was beyond many people's expectations that they had successfully reached this point.
Too many officials and generals in this area surrendered, especially too many people in the interior responded, so that many people around Wang Dou couldn't understand it.
Recently, they also got a piece of information that some of Liu Zeqing's subordinates were from Shaanxi, and in order to smoothly obtain food and wages from various prefectures and counties, they even pretended to be thieves, and then the people happily carried cattle and wine to welcome labor.
In the end, because these people were too poor in military discipline, they were suspected by the locals, and then they closed the city gates, and resolutely did not let these impostors enter, and did not let them get a grain of rice.
It's so jaw-dropping that I don't know what to say.
Gao Shiyin was one of those who didn't understand, and he muttered: "They are thieves, why do the people expect them so much?" ”
He also fought the thieves, and knew the attitude of the people in various places towards the thieves, if some hungry people were willing to follow the thieves, but the good people were resolutely resistant, but now even the attitude of the good people has changed.
Praise painting Qin Yi sighed: "The government has no way, the displaced people are everywhere, natural and man-made disasters, the suffering is unspeakable, the people everywhere have long lost confidence in the imperial court, and the thieves are good at pretending to promote, maybe they think that they will live better after the change of dynasty." ”
He sighed: "This is really water that can carry a boat, but also can capsize a boat, and the people's will is so unstoppable." ”
Everyone in the church also sighed, and the situation was so corrupted.
Wen Fangliang sneered: "Thieves become rebels? The small people are indeed ignorant, and they responded in groups with a ballad of 'not bad, no food'? Don't they know what is in the bones of the thief? I'm afraid that when the time comes, how much they hoped for it at the beginning, how much they will hate it in the future! ”
Han Chao shook his head and said: "Xiaomin is looking at the present, how can he think so much about things in the future." Moreover, I don't know if the thieves will change in the future, maybe they will be as eloquent and far-sighted as Emperor Taizu Gao. ”
Wen Fangliang sneered: "Look at it, there is always a time to appear." ”
Wang Dou held his hands behind his back and quietly listened to the arguments under his command, he thought a lot, remembered all kinds of history, and finally he said lightly: "People have a fixed mind, there are too many people who don't know the nature of thieves. Perhaps, only a heart-wrenching lesson can bring them back to life. ”
His gaze seemed to look through thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of years, and muttered: "People are in turmoil, their momentum is unstoppable, let the flowers of evil bloom to the fullest, and let those scum come to the surface!" ”
……
On the 22nd day of the first month, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong stationed in Linqing to protect Cao, surrendered, and broke into the camp without much effort, and obtained this important place of Caoyun.
On the 26th of the first month, Qiu Lei, the general soldier of Shandong who moved to Jinan, surrendered, and the governor Qiu Zude committed suicide and martyrdom, and Li Zicheng conquered Jinan.
On the first day of the first month of February, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself king in Jinan, with the founding name Dashun, and called himself the king of Dashun, with the year name Yongchang.
He took Song Xiance as his military advisor and Niu Jinxing as his prime minister, and set up six governments, each with one scholar and two servants. On that day, he sent the generals Liu Fangliang, Liu Xiyao and others to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, Shunde Mansion and other places.
……
On 13 February, the news reached Shengjing, and Dolgon urgently summoned his ministers to discuss matters in the Chongzheng Palace. (To be continued.) )
