Chapter 119 Cheng Shijie’s generosity

Chapter 118

It was already late at night, and Emperor Chongzhen, the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was still sitting in the side hall. He was very angry at this time. All the civil and military ministers in the dynasty were all useless, but no one could understand his mind.

At this time, he began to think of Sun Chengzong who was driven away. Sun Chengzong was a very smart man. During the Battle of the Breach, he, the emperor, lost face. It was Sun Chengzong who led his troops to recover the four cities of Yongping. It was Sun Chengzong who

In order to regain face for himself, he launched the Battle of Daling River.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was belatedly aware of the situation, now vaguely understood that the Battle of the Daling River was a little anxious. The Ming Dynasty was not prepared enough and should wait, even if it waits for another two and a half months, until the autumn grain arrives in the warehouse.

At that time, the weather was already cold. Zu Dashou would definitely prepare firewood and coal for burning, as well as sufficient food and clothes. More importantly, Jiannu would not be able to hold on for long in the cold wind outside the city. It was really two days too late.

Within a month and a half, maybe the outcome of the Battle of Daling River will be rewritten.

Unfortunately, he was too impatient and forced Sun Chengzong to send troops, leaving Sun Chengzong to take the blame.

Of course, the emperor will never make mistakes, and only capable ministers will always make mistakes.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the eunuch Wang Chengen beside him and said: "Wang Banban!"

"The slave is here!"

"Go pick some precious medicinal materials from the inner palace, take the imperial doctor with you, and go to Gaoyang..."

Wang Chengen asked with some uncertainty: "What does the emperor mean..."

"Please comfort Mr. Sun Ge for me!"

"Yes, this slave accepts the order!"

Emperor Chongzhen can only use this method to appease his old minister. I hope others can see his intentions. The current Emperor Chongzhen is like some scumbags on campus. When he likes someone, he can be completely tolerant

All her shortcomings can be infinitely good to her. When you have a new goal, treat her to death.

At first, when Yuan Chonghuan was in the emperor's heart, he made a big cake for the young emperor. Emperor Chongzhen believed Yuan Chonghuan's lies. Yuan Chonghuan asked Zu Dashou to serve as the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan and Jinzhou. Chongzhen agreed. He asked He Kegang to replace Zhu Mei to guard Yuan and Zhao.

Taking the lead in guarding Shanhaiguan, Chongzhen also agreed directly without hesitation.

Yuan Chonghuan failed to mobilize Mao Wenlong, so he corrected the imperial edict and killed Mao Wenlong, the general of Pingliao, the governor of the left, and the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army. Mao Wenlong was a first-rate man who wielded the Fang sword and acted cheaply. This power was given to Mao Wenlong by Emperor Chongzhen, but Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong.

, Emperor Chongzhen also pinched his nose and recognized it.

It was not until the Jisi Incident that Huang Taiji led hundreds of thousands of troops to enter Longjing Pass and Da'ankou respectively, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horsemen came to the gates of the capital. Emperor Chongzhen finally realized that he had been tricked by Yuan Chonghuan.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was like a little virgin who had been cheated on. His love for Yuan Chonghuan was as deep as his hatred. Of course, Yuan Chonghuan was cheated.

Although there are countless people on the Internet complaining about Yuan Chonghuan and crying grievances. Just ask, as the governor of Ji, Liao, Tianjin, Baoding, Deng, Lai, and other places, he is also the commander of the largest military region in the Ming Dynasty.

Tens of thousands of Jiannu slaves swarmed in and marched under the capital city. The Jiannu slaves plundered more than a dozen cities in Shuntian Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, and Zunhua Prefecture. Liangxiang, Gu'an, Xianghe, and Sanhe were massacred. Hundreds of thousands of people were massacred.

The family was killed, two to three hundred thousand people were arrested, and more than 10 million taels of money were lost...

In this case, is Yuan Chonghuan still innocent?

If this is innocent? Then what is dereliction of duty? Is this the most serious crime of dereliction of duty?

What is the logic of those Yuan fans who defended Yuan Chonghuan? At this time, what Yuan Chonghuan did in the Ming Dynasty was similar in nature to that of Zhang Shaoshuai and Han Fuqu. They were afraid of the enemy and avoided fighting, so they killed Yuan Chonghuan. This alone was enough reason.

.

Now Chongzhen finally found a capable minister and wanted to reuse Cheng Shijie, but these ministers pretended to be deaf and dumb...

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen would never know how much effort the civil servants and bureaucracy put into suppressing military generals and having the right to speak. After the Tumubao Incident, they wiped out all the military heroes in the dynasty. How satisfying it was.

, they suppressed the military attaches for more than a hundred years, how could they make the military attaches raise their heads?

When Emperor Chongzhen wanted to reward Xu Guangqi, the civil servants and bureaucracy immediately agreed, and Xu Guangqi became the chief minister of the cabinet. If he promoted Sun Yuanhua, a civil servant, to serve as governor of Shandong and Liaodong, there would be no problem.

No matter how bad Sun Yuanhua was, even if he was not a Jinshi, he was still a fellow Confucian scholar.

Who is Cheng Shijie?

A martial artist from a hereditary military family.

Of course, if Cheng Shijie is willing to study conscientiously and pass the Jinshi exam like Yuan Keli of Guide Prefecture, he can become a feudal official even if he is an official.

It's a pity that he is just a martial artist.

The meanest warrior.

"His Majesty!"

Empress Zhou walked into the imperial study room with ginseng soup in hand.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. You need to take care of yourself. It's time to rest!"

Emperor Chongzhen turned and looked at Queen Zhou: "Queen, tell me, Cheng Shijie...how should I reward him?"

"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"

In the Ming Dynasty, there was only one queen who had served in politics, and that was Zhu Yuanzhang's Queen Ma. This queen could escape with Zhu Yuanzhang on her back during the rebellion, and when she was angry, she dared to chase Zhu Chongba with her shoes and beat him up.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about the ancestral system and sighed: "I am an emperor, it is too difficult!"

On the vast sea, the sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly, making the sea bluer and bluer.

A fleet of more than a dozen large ships is sailing against the wind. When the sailboats are sailing against the wind, they can only take a "zigzag" route and move forward slowly. The huge sea wind will blow the sails bulging, and the sea ships will

Sailing towards the Liaodong Peninsula across the sea at a speed of seven knots.

At this speed, it would take about eight to nine days to travel from Shanghai to Liaodong with a favorable wind, but now with a headwind, the journey would take two-thirds longer, and it would take more than 20 days at the fastest.

At the head of this fleet is a very ornately decorated Qianliu Guangfu ship. A group of young men and women stood excitedly on the deck and cheered, admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea.

In the distance, groups of elegant elves spread out their tail fins and jumped high into the sky. They flew far away and then plunged into the sea like bullets. This caused a tall girl to exclaim: "Look, they can fly."

fish!”

Not surprisingly, this girl is Xu Guangqi's fourth granddaughter, Mardina, the only unmarried granddaughter of the Xu family. Because of Xu Guangqi's aura, Xu Guangqi's granddaughters all married into wealthy families.

The husband of Xu Guangqi's eldest granddaughter is Ai Tinghuai, the grandson of Ai Kejiu, the general ambassador of Nanjing; the second granddaughter married Xu Yuandu, the grandson of Xu Leshan, who also served as the general ambassador of Nanjing; the third granddaughter married into the Qu family in Shanghai, and her husband Qu Ye was the supervising student.

, his grandfather Qu Yin once served as the magistrate of Haicheng County, and was also among the squires of Shanghai.

In the whole of Shanghai, those whose family status is more comparable to that of Xu Guangqi are the masters of Yuyuan, Pan Yunduan, Pan En and his younger brother Pan Zhong, who were awarded the title of Imperial Examiner, Gongding Guan, Yushi Dafu, and served as the Minister of the Second Ministry of Industry. "Pan En

They have three sons in total, the eldest son Yunzhe and the second son Yunduan are both Jinshi, so the Pan family father and son are known as "three Jinshis in one family".

At this time, Xu Erlu, the fifth grandson of Xu Guangqi, married the daughter of Pan Yunlong, son of Pan Yunduan, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry. The Xu family was already a top wealthy family in Shanghai.

Following Maldina's exclamation, a large group of young men who wanted to marry the Xu family came forward one after another, including Pan Xiaona, Maldina's husband in history.

In order to win the heart of the beautiful woman, Pan Xiaona said to his servant: "He's coming, hurry up, take the blunderbuss and let him run away..."

At this moment, a sailor said seriously: "Stop, don't hurt the divine fish!"

"Sacred fish..."

Pan Xiaona felt that a despicable sailor actually dared to lose his face. He walked towards the sailor: "Godly fish, Godly mother..."

Pan Xiaona kicked the sailor, and the sailor seemed to have roots under his feet and was motionless, but Pan Xiaona fell to the deck, causing a group of young men to burst into laughter.

This is not to say that this sailor is very skilled or a master. In fact, he is just a stable player, but Pan Xiaona is a weak scholar. In a real fight, the sailor can beat Pan Xiaona ten times.

"you…………"

Pan Xiaona didn't have time to speak. He gasped in pain. At this time, a group of Pan's servants pounced on the sailor and caught the sailor.

"Throw it down and feed him to the fish!"

"Plop..."

The sailor was thrown into the sea and disappeared instantly. After a while, the sailor came out of the sea, and the divine fish was holding the sailor.

Everyone exclaimed: "It's really magical!"

"This is the divine fish!"

Other sailors introduced: "It is the patron saint of the sea, the incarnation of Mazu. I don't know how many times it has brought ships lost at sea back to the channel, or rescued ships trapped in reefs! It is our

The protector of God!"

Martina also felt magical and shouted: "You are not allowed to hurt it!"

The sailor was rescued, but Pan Xiaona still wanted to take care of the sailor.

At this time, Chen Zilong came out of the cabin: "Mr. Pan, can you give Chen some face? This matter has been revealed!"

"snort……"

Pan Xiaona was too embarrassed to stay on the deck and returned to the cabin.

Although Chen Zilong was not a few years older than Martina and about the same age as her third brother Xu Erdou, Chen Zilong was a student of Xu Guangqi and the same generation as her father Xu Ji.

Facing Chen Zilong, Maldina obediently said: "Uncle Chen!"

"Um!"

Chen Zilong nodded slowly. The sea breeze was very soft at this time. Chen Zilong asked someone to bring a soft couch and a small table. There was a small red clay stove on the small table. The servants were making tea on the side, and someone also brought a fruit plate.

dessert.

Martina asked with some curiosity: "Uncle Chen, the letter from our ancestors mentioned Cheng Shijie many times. What does Uncle Chen think of this Cheng Shijie..."
