Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 853 Shock 3
With the flapping of the pigeon's wings, the news of Yang Menglong's assassination quickly spread to Liaodong.Guan Ningjun's first reaction was to applaud, that plague god finally fell!You know, after the rise of Yang Menglong, the life of the Guan Ning Army has become very difficult. Although the Guan Ning Army often lost battles in the past, it is a rare victory to behead three or four hundred ranks in one battle. Wife, Yinzi, as for losing... If you lose, it is common sense, and if you win, it is called super performance.The imperial court has nothing to do with them, because Daming is the only army that can hold hands with Jin Jiannu, so they can't be wiped out, right? As long as they can guard Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou well, everything will be fine. For the rest, let them go up!

However, since Yang Menglong in the Battle of Dalinghe unbelievably defeated Hou Jin's army, and even stabbed Huang Taiji's horse to death, and became famous all over the world, Guan Ning's life was not easy after his strong rise.In every battle someone will compare them with Yang Menglong. If they lose, they will be scolded. If they win, they will be ridiculed. Is your decapitation one or two hundred levels a big victory? Look at Yang Menglong in Lushun How many heads have been collected!Yang Menglong's brilliant record is in sharp contrast to Guan Ning's cowardice and deception. Every time he wins a pair of slaves, he silently provokes and ridicules Guan Ning's army, which makes Guan Ning's army extremely annoyed. Helpless... They really don't have the ability to defeat the Eight Banners head-to-head in a field battle, so they can only talk about it.

What annoys Guan Ningjun the most is that Yang Menglong also strongly supports their rival Dongjiang Army!With the help of Yang Menglong, the Dongjiang army, which had been beaten by Houjin to the point where there was only an isolated city in Lushun, unexpectedly launched a desperate counterattack. It even defeated Jinzhou and Fuzhou, and it was on the verge of swallowing the entire Liaodong Peninsula. Potential!Also with the help of Yang Menglong, a large number of immigrants came to the Liaodong Peninsula to dig mines, reclaim rice fields, dry salt and boil salt. The refined salt produced by Fuzhou Salt Field soon became a famous fist product in the whole country. .Coupled with regaining control of North Korea and obtaining timber and iron ore from North Korea at low prices, the shortcomings that originally restricted the development of the Dongjiang Army have been filled!This is the last thing Guan Ningjun wants to see. They have not forgotten what their Governor Yuan has done to the Dongjiang Army. If the army can let them go, this powerful army uses the Liaodong Peninsula as a springboard to threaten Shenyang, and it will soon steal the limelight from the Guan Ning Army, making the Guan Ning Army a supporting role. Ning Jun can't bear it!It's all the fault of that Yang Menglong, if it wasn't for him, the imperial court would have sent us a lot of food while we were lying on the bed, and I was afraid that the delivery would be slow, so if we don't accept it, it's all his fault!

Well now, this scourge has finally been done away with!
The generals of the Guan Ning Army rushed to tell each other and celebrate with each other, but most of the soldiers of the Guan Ning Army felt sad and regretful.Although they are also part of the Guanning Army, a huge interest group, the blood in their hearts has not completely cooled down, and they still have dreams of recovering Shenyang and Liaodong. Yang Menglong's series of efforts made them see hope and won them. worship.However, now this dream is about to be shattered, Yang Menglong was assassinated, and the grand blueprint of recovering Shenyang came to naught.
The soldiers of the Guan Ning Army were very sad, but Huang Taiji was very happy, almost going crazy with joy.After receiving the secret letter that the assassination was successful, he laughed wildly in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, danced and danced like crazy.However, no one will care about his gaffe, Mang Gurtai, Daishan, Abatai, Dorgon, Duoduo... These commanders of the post-Gold Army laughed even crazier, even Ning Wanwo, Tong Yangxing These civil servants who have always been deep in the city also hit their foreheads with their hands, feeling relieved.No way, Yang Menglong put too much pressure on them. Just two confrontations shattered the myth that the Eight Banners Army was "full and invincible". They blocked Xuanda, Liaodong, and North Korea from three sides, and even pushed Hou Jin to the point of collapse. edge!How can this not make them afraid? They all know how many sins they have committed. Once Hou Jin perishes, what awaits them will be the most terrifying liquidation. Is there a more terrifying nightmare than this? Well now, the demon finally fell It's down, Hou Jin will turn around again, their lives, their glory and wealth, are all saved!
Huang Taiji waved his arms excitedly, and shouted: "God bless Dajin! Once Yang Menglong falls, no one can stop my Dajin's rolling cavalry, God bless Dajin!"

Dorgon smiled all over his face and said: "Yes, Yang Menglong and Lu Xiangsheng are called the Imperial Twins. It seems that Lu Xiangsheng is the most powerful, but in fact Yang Menglong is the most difficult to deal with! No matter how powerful Lu Xiangsheng is, he is a literati after all. Unwritten rules constrain him, many things he knows are right but dare not do them, but Yang Menglong completely despises all traditional rules and never plays cards according to common sense, as long as he thinks it is wrong or not good for him, In his eyes, it is shit! This kind of person who never plays cards according to common sense is too difficult to deal with! Fortunately, he has been killed by his own people, God bless Dajin!"

Duduo sighed: "What a pity, what a pity!"

He has always been brooding about his repeated defeats at the hands of Yang Menglong, and he dreamed of winning it back. Now that Yang Menglong has been assassinated, he has lost the opportunity to avenge Yang Menglong. General, how can he not feel sorry!

Daishan's expression was quite strange. He was biting his beard hard, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were flashing with hatred, regret, and confusion.His precious son Yue Tuo died at the hands of Yang Menglong, how sad it is for a white-haired man to give away a black-haired man!He hated Yang Menglong so much that he never wanted to peel his skin, gnaw his flesh, and drink his blood!Now that Yang Menglong has been assassinated, he is very happy but also very disappointed, which means that he probably has no chance to avenge Yang Menglong. This kind of mood is really complicated.

It's a bit ironic that Chongzhen was the last one among so many people to know about Yang Menglong's assassination.There is no way, he is the emperor. When it comes to some things, the emperor is the slowest person in the world to react, because most of the information he can get is filtered. It is not unusual for a weak emperor to be played like a monkey by his ministers. Regarding the assassination of Yang Menglong, an incident related to the security of the country, he became the monkey that was fooled.It was not until a few days later that Jin Yiwei reported the incident hesitantly to him. At that time, he was reviewing the memorial. After listening to the report, his face turned pale, his hand trembled, and he drew a long line on a memorial.He threw down his pen and shouted angrily: "Why are you telling me now about such an important thing, what do you do for food!"

The commander of Jin Yiwei said with some surprise: "My minister played the performance a few days ago, but I just played it again when I saw that the emperor didn't respond..."

Chongzhen was stunned: "It was reported a few days ago? Why do I know nothing about it?" He immediately realized it and said angrily: "Those bastards, have they united together to hide it from me, right?" He knew that this was most likely the case. It was Wen Chen who played tricks in the middle and deliberately deceived him, but now he is not in the mood to care about it, and asked in a panic: "How is the injury of Champion Hou?"

The commander said: "The injury is very serious, I'm afraid it's more ominous than good!"

Chongzhen said: "Quickly, select some capable subordinates to escort the best imperial doctors in the palace to Taiwan. At the same time, transfer the best talents from the entire Jinyi Guard there. If you need any medicine or famous doctors, do your best to help find them. We must cure him! Nothing will happen to him!"

Commander should: "obey the order!"

Chongzhen said again: "Protect his family! He has offended too many people. If anything happens, those bastards will not let his family go!"

The commander responded: "I obey the order!" He did not dare to neglect and hurried down to make arrangements.

Chongzhen was not in the mood to review the memorial anymore, and sat there in a daze for a long time, repeating a sentence in a low voice: "Yang Menglong, this is all I can do for you, you must get better!"

The current emperor is angry and frustrated. For so many years, Yang Menglong has always been his most powerful assistant, whether it is resisting foreign enemies, quelling bandits, or governing the local area. Now that something happened, Chongzhen feels like his most powerful arm has been cut off. , completely at a loss.

A few days later, Chongzhen issued an order to confer Yang Menglong's son as a hussar general and inherit the title of champion marquis.This move was unanimously opposed by the ministers of civil and military affairs, because in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor had never personally appointed a baby under the age of one as a general. Isn't it absurd to be named a general and still be able to inherit the title in the future? But this time Chongzhen was extremely stubborn, and without a word, he masturbated several civil servants who danced the most fiercely, and whoever opposed him would masturbate.He used this decree to express his attitude to the officials: Don't think that if Yang Menglong falls, you can do whatever you want. With me, Huguang and Heluo will continue as usual, and no one will touch the Yang family!
As for whether the baby who is not yet one year old can have the talent of Yang Menglong and become the Optimus Prime of the Ming Dynasty, he has no idea, so let's save it first!

Yang Menglong should be glad that he has a son. Although he is still so young, he can't help at all, but with this little thing, his blood is still there, and the hope of the Heluo New Army and the people of Huguang is there.Without this little thing, the Heluo New Army and the people of Huguang would be in a mess.

When Xue Siming led the main force of the army back to Wuhan, just in time for a fleet to go southward, Xiao Yufang stood at the bow, her face pale.Surprised, he pulled the boat closer and asked, "Ma'am, where are you going?"

Xiao Yufang forced a smile at him: "I've stayed here for too long, and I'm so bored, I want to visit the scenery of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal."

Xue Siming was horrified: "Madam, please don't go! Now the Beijing-Hangzhou area has turned into a boiling crater, and the chaos is endless. I don't know how many people are lurking in the dark, trying to kill you. You must not go!"

Xiao Yufang's voice was not high, but she was extremely firm: "It's because of the chaos there that I'm going...it can't be done by the waterworkers, he trusts those poor waterworkers so much, it's impossible for those waterworkers to kill him. Millions of waterworkers are now in a mess. Some people are even scared to flee with their families. Human."

Xue Siming said: "You can't risk your safety, Lord Hou..."

Xiao Yufang said: "He will be fine. I have experienced more terrible crises with him than this one, and he has survived tenaciously, and this time will be no exception. He has been gritting his teeth outside all the time. , now I also want to help him do something to stabilize those millions of canal workers."

Xue Siming had nothing to say, remained silent for a long time, and said: "Be careful..." Divided more than half of his own soldiers, and ordered them to protect Xiao Yufang no matter what, and then the two fleets separated, one to the other. one to the south and one to the north.

Xue Siming's return to the teacher was too fast. As soon as there was a little disturbance in the Heluo area, his army had already returned to Nanyang. Such a speed made people shudder, and it also made the people's hearts settle down: Although Yang Menglong's life and death are uncertain, but this The combat effectiveness of the Zhi army has not been affected. With them, the Heluo area and Huguang will not be in chaos!

Xiao Yufang took Liu Ziyan and a group of friends by boat to Hangzhou, and then entered the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from Hangzhou. They went all the way north and made friends. Everywhere they went, they asked local watermen to help pull fibers and steer the helm. When everyone mentioned the assassination of Yang Menglong She said with a relaxed smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little injured. I'm still interested in traveling around. What's the big deal?" Although rumors about Yang Menglong's life and death were flying everywhere. Some people even said with certainty that he was on the verge of death, but seeing Xiao Yufang's relaxed smile, the water workers were still at ease.

She said to the water workers: "He has always believed in you, and I am willing to believe in you... Tell your friends, don't run away, and come back to work. When he recovers from his injuries, he still has to fight north. There are many places that need your help. After conquering Liaodong, you will be the first batch to emigrate to Liaodong. Now that you have run away, such privileges will be gone. Isn’t it a pity?”

Her peaceful smile seemed to have incomparable magic power, gently blowing away the haze covering both sides of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal like a breeze, and the panic stopped abruptly.
