Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Yu Zilian understood that Wang Chengen's questioning must have been ordered by Emperor Chongzhen, so he replied politely: "I don't care about the safety of the capital if I am not an official. There are not many Ruzhou troops in the attack. Besides, Wang Gonggong, you also know that I have old grievances with Zongbing Wu, but we are only private. In state affairs, we have always cooperated sincerely. Those who dare to abolish the public by selfishness."

"The miscellaneous family knows! The miscellaneous family understands! Yu Shilang is loyal to the country, and the emperor and all the elders also see it." Wang Chengen nodded repeatedly.

"My lord! I'm not afraid of making a fool of myself. When I first assembled this Ruzhou army, the army was full of people from good families, that is, a bunch of mobs. How could they fight against the fierce "rebellious" thieves? I also encountered them several times. In such a critical situation, if Zongbing Wu hadn't extended a helping hand twice, the Ruzhou Army would have disappeared long ago. After that, Zongbing Wu even sent food and knives to let me train this strong army. Although I still don't like it Wu Zongbing looks like a coward, but he is in trouble, and I must go to the rescue under the responsibility of this official."

"What else?" Wang Chengen was quite surprised by Yu Zilian's words.

"Indeed!" Yu Zilian nodded.

But Yu Zilian's words touched Wang Chengen's mind. He was silent for a long time before he sighed: "If the governors of the world are like the two of them and put aside their own interests, then Grandpa Huang will be relieved!"

This made it difficult for Yu Zilian to answer, so he could only wait aside with an embarrassed expression.

After waiting for a while, Wang Cheng'en suddenly came to his senses. He quickly smiled and said to Yu Zilian: "I'm sorry! Yu Shilang! The miscellaneous family is distracted. Let me ask you one more question, is Mr. Wu sure to beat the Tartars?" ?”

Yu Zilian thought about it carefully for a while, and replied: "Don't dare to deceive the prince, the Ruzhou army is actually inferior to the Tartars, and the Runing army of Wu Zongbing is better than my army. The two armies should be evenly matched. But the Tartars and the official army have their own strengths. The official army is stronger than the defense, and the Tartars are mostly cavalry, which is better than field warfare. So the battle of Wu Zongbing... I am not very optimistic about it. But even so . Wu Zongbing's army should also kill quite a few Tartars. Although I don't want to say this, Wu Zongbing's character is indeed inferior, but he is indeed a good soldier. "[

"What do you mean to say: General Wu's army will be defeated, but he and the Tartars will also suffer?" Wang Chengen asked.

Yu Zilian nodded and said, "That should be the case, so I asked those cavalry to go to support. The cavalry guarding the capital is not very useful, but in the field, they always help President Wu!"

Wang Chengen was quite satisfied, because all the questions Emperor Chongzhen wanted to ask had been answered, so he wanted to return to the palace to return to his command.But at this moment.Wang Chengen suddenly had doubts in his mind, and he asked again: "The miscellaneous family has another strange thing to trouble Yu Shilang! Since Yu Shilang said so, isn't Wu Zongbing's army already comparable to that of the Tartars? Could it be that he is also full of thousands of people? Invincible?"

"No!" Yu Zilian said with a smile, "From what I've seen, Huguang Zuoshuai's army is not weaker than ours. I also heard that Jinling Huang and Liu Ershuai are also fighting bravely. Their army should not be underestimated, let alone Not to mention Hong Dushi and Shan Fu Sun Gong's Qin army, they should be better than my army."

"But why does he shrink back when he sees the Tartars?" Wang Chengen was even more surprised.

"He! The commanders from all walks of life are either timid and afraid of fighting; or they are self-interested; or they don't treat soldiers well. Why do the Ruzhou Army dare to fight like this? It's not because of civil officials. , Does Mr. Wu have a different intention? I can't guarantee it, but I admire his courage to fight to the death!"

"Yue Wumu's words are very kind!" Wang Chengen exclaimed.

After returning to the palace, Wang Chengen recounted the conversation between himself and Yu Zilian to Emperor Chongzhen in detail. After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Hey! Blinded by the court's apocalypse. Almost missed this good minister!"

Then Emperor Chongzhen thought that Wu Shigong would suffer both losses from the Qing army, and he felt a sense of relief all over his body, so he smiled and said to Wang Chengen: "If son-in-law Xuehou loses, don't blame too much, at least he dares to fight." After this battle, let him go back to Yangwuhou Mansion to be raised! Wang Banban! You haven’t greeted Concubine Liu for many days, so you can go to the Palace of Compassion with me!”

Concubine Liu is the Zhao concubine of Emperor Wanli, the concubine-grandmother of emperors Tianqi and Chongzhen, and she has the highest seniority in the palace, so Emperor Chongzhen always greets this elder.

But after going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the family sat down and chatted about the daily life. Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen had such a rare opportunity to relax. Without saying a few words, he fell asleep while holding the case.

Of course Concubine Liu felt sorry for Emperor Chongzhen, and she didn't dare to wake him up, so she asked the maids to cover him with some clothes so as not to catch a cold, and the whole palace and the emperor's attendants waited quietly.

It was not until Emperor Chongzhen woke up that he felt a little rude, so he apologized and said with self-deprecation: "During Shenzong's time, the world was safe and the palace was happy. That was what the concubine saw with her own eyes. But now she is suffering so much. I spent two nights reviewing documents without closing my eyes. I thought I was only in my prime, and I could still stand it, but who knew that my physical strength was not up to par, and I was so dazed and unable to hold myself in front of the concubine."

Concubine Liu, the old lady, could not help but shed tears when she recalled the past and recalled the present...

When Emperor Chongzhen greeted Concubine Liu, Xue Lian's family was eating. [

At this moment, the steward of the Hou's Mansion rushed in, without paying any attention to saluting, he reported in a panic: "Your Majesty! Ma'am! Miss! My son! I just heard the news from the Ministry of War that my son-in-law is leading the army alone and wants to fight against the Tartars!" It's a war."

"Daddy Wansheng!" Xue Chenglin cheered immediately, but he immediately heard a sound of falling bowls and chopsticks, and then saw his grandparents and mother's pale faces.Xue Chenglin was stunned all of a sudden.

It was Xue Lian who slowed down quickly. He forced a smile, stroked the top of Xue Chenglin's head, and said, "Your father is Wan Sheng, eat quickly! After eating, go to your brother's place to play for a while."

The meal was boring, and Xue Chenglin also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly filled his stomach and escaped from the house.Seeing that Xue Chenglin had left, Mrs. Zhang complained immediately: "Why does this child ignore himself? Lord Hou! Can this battle be won?"

Frowning for a long while, Xue Lian shook his head and said: "It's not good to win! It's not good to lose! Hey!" Whether it's the master after the victory, or the circle back to the capital after the defeat, Wu Shigong and Yangwuhou's mansion both Not a happy ending.

After hearing her father's words, Xue Yufei only felt her eyes go blank, and immediately passed out.
