With such an ardent pursuit, how many women are not tempted?

But the lady of the Du family is not pretending at all, if Hou Fangyu is talking about serious things, she will speak seriously, if Hou Fangyu is talking about meat and talking nonsense, she will immediately turn her face, sneer at each other, and show no mercy - and the more she is like this, the more Hou Fangyu is obsessed with him. Today's banquet was actually after Hou Fangyu had a hangover and sobered up, and suddenly thought that he had never seen his family today, so he hurriedly came over, but it happened that Dong Ce came back, so he naturally wanted to have a good wine and feast.

Hou Fangyu has seen a lot of women who are as gentle as water to him, and the Du family lady is so spicy, which makes him feel very novel, this kind of novel experience that he has never felt before, makes him drunk if he drinks alcohol.

In Dong Ce's words, this is a cheap billet.

Hou Fangyu didn't care about the attitude of the Du family's lady, and said with a greedy smile: "Shi Niang, you don't know, I missed you yesterday, and I didn't sleep all night." I was already drunk, but I couldn't sleep, and when I woke up today, I had a splitting headache! When I thought that I hadn't seen you today, I suddenly felt panicked, as if I had lost some of the most precious things, and rushed to see you. ”

"Shi Niang, can you bear it?" He covered his heart, his face full of resentment.

This guy seems to be too deep into the play, and he actually knocked on the plate with chopsticks, and sang affectionately with a face: "When you see a gentleman, don't you like it?" Seeing a gentleman, don't you like it? ”

"Why can't you bear it?"

The lady of the Du family sneered: "Son, please respect yourself." Today, I came to mix soup and vegetables for you, but not to see your face. ”

Dong Ce almost threw up, he sighed, and said in his heart about the two of you, why do you want to pull me up? He suddenly looked at the Du family lady with a strange face, and said, "Your name is Du Shi Niang?" ”

He was very surprised, it turned out that Hou Fangyu really knew the name of the Du family's lady? The question is, how is the name ......

"Well, the slave family is the tenth in the family." Du Siniang was a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and she said in a low voice: "The cheap name makes the big officials laugh." Ah, there's something going on down there, slave go and deal with it. ”

As he spoke, he pushed the door and went out.

Hou Fangyu looked at Dong Ce with a strange expression, and suddenly said, "Something is wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Dong Ce asked.

"I think he's interesting to you." Hou Fangyu's face was sad and indignant: "When she mentions you, she blushes, you say, does she have a crush on you?" ”

Dong Ce glanced at him and sighed: "Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, don't tell me, you left him just to say these things to me." Although you are not in tune, you are not so boring. ”

"Of course there's something else." Hou Fangyu refused to let go of this topic: "But this matter has to be said." ”

Dong Ce held his forehead with his hand: "There is a good wife and husband in the family who will not suffer misfortune, and there is no intention of taking a concubine now, and this Du family lady is ......"

He shook his head, but he didn't say it, this Du Shi Niang, he always felt that something was wrong. Besides, this name, Du Shi Niang? Dong Ce thought about it, and his teeth were sore.

"Okay, let's not talk about that yet, I'll let you go."

The two have a deep friendship now, and it is naturally okay to make a few jokes, but if they are obsessed with nonsense, they can't get to that point.

Hou Fangyu subconsciously glanced around, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Hanchen, do you know that you are a thief?" ”

Dong Ce nodded: "Thief? Or is it a thief? ”

"Both." Hou Fangyu sighed softly: "On the letter sent by Yu Jingshi yesterday, my father explained to me in detail the pattern of this year's suppression of bandits. ”

Dong Ce's heart moved, he often read the Di newspaper every day, and he has the historical accumulation of his previous life, so he actually knows this history very well, but if he can listen to what the people in the bureau say, it will naturally be a completely different taste.

He also lowered his voice and said, "Why? ”

"Overall, it's not very optimistic." Although Hou Fangyu said a relatively heavy topic, his face did not change much, obviously he did not take the growing Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others as a thing. In fact, his attitude represents the view of the vast majority of scholars and doctors in the Ming court at this time - the thief offering the thief is just a minor illness, and the real henchman is the Liaodong Jiannu outside the Guan. As everyone knows, it was those anti-thieves who finally destroyed the glorious Ming Dynasty.

Generally speaking, the seventh year of Chongzhen was a historic and great turning point for the peasant army.

On November 24 of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the anti-thieves took advantage of the great victory of the official army to guard against each other and compete for merit, and did not have a great opportunity to hesitate in place for more than a month, and took advantage of the great opportunity of the Yellow River to freeze, cross the Yellow River and enter the Central Plains.

Since then, all kinds of anti-thieves can be said to be high in the sky and let the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and there is an extremely vast space for in-depth activities.

Henan is the heart of the Ming Dynasty, the land of four wars, and the Ming court here does not have many troops at all. Within a month, the thieves had spread their footprints to almost all counties in western Henan, and then rushed to Huguang, Anhui, and Sichuan. For the Ming court, what was originally a local problem has since become a major problem.

The fundamental reason is that Henan is poor, too poor. This was once the source of Chinese civilization, the vast Central Plains, due to years of drought, the Yellow River raging, locust plagues, has long been a ghost in the world.

At the end of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Lu Weiqi, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, said in "The Native Soul of Zhongzhen": Chongzhen has been in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years, and there has been a drought for many years, "There is no harvest in autumn, and wheat is difficult to plant." There is no grass in the wild, and ten rooms are empty. Therefore, there are those who are worth five dollars of silver, there are those who cannot raise rice for a day of work, there are those who pick grass roots and leaves to satisfy their hunger, there are husbands who abandon their wives and mothers abandon their children, there are those who sell one child and do not have enough food, there are those who hang themselves in the forest and fill the ditches, there are those who starve to death on the side of the road, there are those who beg for quail clothes and vegetables, there are those who die by pillows, there are those who flee from mud doors, and there are those who eat flesh and blood. ”

In such a year of great famine, the Ming court not only did not give relief, but instead "added to the demand, the emphasis was on supply, and it was responsible for the soldiers' rations, equipment, rice beans, and cocoons, and they were all asked to meet Hebei's needs." And in addition to the positive endowment, there is an additional faction, and it is chasing the old for several years, and the first three-point pre-levy, and even Suo Jiu Kui's additional plan to abandon the wasteland. …… The old amount has not been completed, and the new salary has been urged; The new conquest is over, and the old is down; It is difficult to slow down in the forehead, and it is extra urgent. There are no barking dogs in the village, and they are still knocking on the door of urging; The tree has a cries, sprinkled with the blood of the whip. Huang'ai Chidi, the countryside is a few people; White bones and green phosphorus, often hear ghosts crying every night. There is the sound of wind and cranes in the ears, and the eyes are full of desolation. It is also ...... to make the poor people unprofitable and become thieves, and to make the traitors unattainable to thieves. ”

Henan has long been full of hungry people, and the thieves and thieves have been everywhere, and as soon as these anti-thieves entered Henan, they immediately received a swarm response from the entire Central Plains. A large number of homeless people and gangsters joined the anti-thieves, so that the strength of the anti-thieves lost in the encirclement and suppression of several officers and soldiers in Chongzhen's five or six years was replenished, and it was greatly increased.

In Henan, there are few thieves. After the thieves entered Henan, the soldiers were divided into two routes, and more than 100,000 people from the eight battalions such as Wolf, Yidougu, Sweeping King, and Mantianxing entered Wuguan in the west, and Shanyang, Zhen'an, and Shangnan fell on the same day. Then he went north to the south and advanced to the Xi'an Mansion of the Shaanxi Provincial Envoy. Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, who was responsible for suppressing bandits, was greatly shocked and hurriedly transferred to Haoyang, and the Hancheng garrison intercepted him head-on. The rebel army then turned around and went south, and conquered Xunyang and Ziyang on the fifteenth day of the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, and Pingli and Baihe were also conquered one after another. When Hong Chengchou's army arrived, the rebels had already moved south to Sichuan.

Another rebel army, including Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying, Zhang Xianzhong and other troops, entered the Lushi Mountains. This place is "lofty mountains and sky, and the tooth distance is wrong", and the situation is very dangerous. There was originally a group of people who were forced to disobey the ban of the imperial court to make a living by mining due to the loss of their land, and they were denounced by the government as "mine thieves". After the thieves arrived, the miners responded in groups, acted as guides, joined the thieves, and led the thieves from the mountain path to the inner countryside, and then went south to the Yunyang and Xiangyang areas of Huguang through Dengzhou and Xishui. From the end of December of the sixth year of Chongzhen to the first month of the seventh year, the rebel army broke through Yunxi, Shangjin, Fang County, and Baokang counties.

"Go straight to the empty and no-man's land, as fast as the wind and rain." Yunyang fuzhi Jiang Yunyi was "helpless, just write to death." ”

The heart of the Central Plains was eroded, and the ministers of the DPRK and China believed that the reason why the Liukou were able to "flow suddenly and uncertainly" was because "the towns and the powers of the people were different, and they watched each other." It is advisable to open the governor's palace with important ministers, and command all the soldiers to fight the thieves." Emperor Chongzhen took Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, as the right attendant of the military department, and the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan military affairs. And the establishment of this position also shows that the power of anti-thieves has been greatly increased.

In the first half of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the main forces of anti-thieves were concentrated in northern Sichuan and southern Shaanxi. The rebel army that entered Sichuan included two parts: one was from western Henan and Huguang Yunyang west into Xing'an, Shaanxi, and after being blocked by the Ming army, they turned south into Sichuan; The other part is from the Huguang Yunyang area and enters the river through the large mountainous area on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The latter part conquered the capital of Kuizhou on February 21, opening the gateway to Sichuan. The Ming court hurriedly mobilized troops to prevent the attack, so the activity area of the anti-thieves was blocked in the mountainous areas of eastern Sichuan and northern Sichuan, where the strata were undulating, mostly deep mountains and old forests, and the grain output was very small, which could not solve the food supply of the brigade. Therefore, this road of thieves soon parted ways out of Sichuan, some of them returned to Huguang in the east, and most of them went north to Shaanxi. In this way, with the heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty gathered in Henan and Huguang, the main force of the anti-thieves returned to their birthplace of Shaanxi. In the spring of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Chen Qiyu, as the military governor of the five provinces, transferred all the officers and troops to gather in Shaanzhou, Henan, and then moved south to Huguangjun County and Zhushan to suppress. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other troops were oppressed by the official army and marched west into Shaanxi. Chen Qiyu won several battles in Henan and Huguang in a row, and his arrogance had risen, so he pursued it relentlessly, intending to eliminate the thieves in one fell swoop. When the anti-thieves hit the Hanzhong plank road area, they strayed into the dangerous place, the mountains here are high and the roads are steep, the people are scarce, the mountain people are fierce, all the exits are tightly guarded by the Ming army, and it rains for more than 70 days, "the crossbow is eroded, the clothes and armor are soaked, the horses' hooves are worn, and they can't eat for a few days." ”
