Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 55

Dorgon led an army of 15 to sweep Yimeng Mountain, and was entangled by the Ming army, sinking deeper and deeper.

Sending troops into the mountains to attack, the Ming army fled across the mountains like apes, and the Qing soldiers could only follow behind them to eat farts;
Ming Jin retreated his troops, and just as he was about to bury the pot and make rice, the Ming army descended from the mountain like a pack of wolves and harassed them all;
They simply stopped fighting and turned around to go to Huaiqing Mansion. The Ming army hovered around the Qing soldiers like vultures, their ghosts lingering, and they suddenly bit off the flesh from the Qing soldiers.

Hitting but unable to hit, retreating but unable to retreat, Dorgon was so angry that he screamed, but there was nothing he could do.Under the depression, the addiction to opium became even greater.

Li Cunming laughed when he got the news.His strategic deployment has achieved the first step, and the next step is the second and third.

According to the news that Jin Yiwei's spies kept sending back, Li Cunming marked the marching and combat routes of the Manchu and Shun sides on a self-made map. He pointed to the map and said to Zhou Yuji:
"Zhou Aiqing, looking at the deployment of troops on both sides, how much do you think Li Zicheng has a chance of winning?"

Zhou Yuji thought deeply: "At first there was a five-point chance of winning, but now His Majesty has helped him hold Dodo back, and there are seven points!"

"Seven points is not enough. What I want is ten points. In the battle of Huaiqing, Li Zicheng can only win but not lose."

"Your Majesty, what else do you plan to do?"

Li Cunming poked his finger on the map, and said: "Help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, who is calling us a living bastard? I plan to send you to lead [-] troops to Suizhou, and keep an eye on the movements of the Qing soldiers in Kaifeng. "

"If Li Zicheng's army is struggling, you can attack Kaifeng City and attract firepower for him; if the Qing army is defeated, you also take advantage of the situation to take Kaifeng and chase down the Qing soldiers. In a word, my second step is to take Kaifeng Hold it in your hand!"

Zhou Yuji said: "This strategic concept is very good. Kaifeng is a place that military strategists must contend for. If Kaifeng is recovered, the land in the north of the Yangtze River will be worry-free!"

Li Cunming smiled meaningfully: "I don't intend to take back Kaifeng, but have other uses..."

Before he finished speaking, Gong Yonggu came to the study and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what a fat belly!"

Zhou Yuji almost fell headlong on the desk, and said in shock and fear: "Gong...Master Gong, are you crazy? How can a courtier be so rude and dare to laugh at the emperor, not to mention that the emperor has no fat..."

Gong Yonggu said: "I didn't laugh at the emperor, I just greeted His Majesty!"

Li Cunming smiled and said, "Gong Aiqing, do you want to say how do you do?"

"Yes, yes, this is what I want to say. The emperor is wise and wise, and his pronunciation is much more accurate than mine. Your Majesty, I love tiger oil!"

Li Cunming was in a mess, unable to laugh or cry, and said, "It's wrong again, it's not tiger oil, it's I love you! This sentence is not suitable for me to say, save it for your wife, I don't want to be gay."

"Why doesn't Your Majesty have chickens?"

"Daytime doesn't understand the darkness of night, chrysanthemums don't understand the sadness of sunflowers. Alright, alright, I don't have time to mess around with you. Also, don't show off your poor English anymore, and you are not allowed to casually except for Jinyiwei's internal communication." Say it in front of outsiders, remember?"

It turned out that after outwitting Huai'an, Li Cunming tasted the sweetness and found that it is very safe and practical to transmit messages in English.After returning to Xuzhou, he asked Gong Yonggu to pick out [-] smart Jin Yiwei to learn English from Tang Ruowang.

The most important principle of espionage work is insurance and safety.In this era, for people in East Asia, English is equivalent to Martian, and using English to transmit information is a reliable and convenient password.

After hearing the emperor's explanation, Zhou Yuji smiled and said: "The emperor's thoughts and thoughts are always beyond ordinary people, I admire you so much!"

Only then did Gong Yonggu put away his smile and got down to business: "Your Majesty, Liu Wenbing is back."

"Really?" Li Cunming hurried out.

……

Liu Wenbing finally came back with a lot of rewards.He went to the south to recruit troops, traveled all over Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and recruited a total of 5 recruits.

The number is not too many, but each of these soldiers is strong and strong, with a fierce look on their faces, which is naturally a good material for soldiers.

"Your Majesty, these people are not only one in a hundred, but also one in ten. I hope I will live up to your Majesty's great trust!" Liu Wenbing said.

Li Cunming was very satisfied, patted Liu Wenbing on the shoulder and said: "Liu Aiqing, you have lost weight, but your body seems to have become much stronger. Well, with these fifty thousand recruits, plus the people captured from Liu Liangzuo and others these days , I have nearly 20 elite soldiers!"

"I went north all the way, and I heard many stories about His Majesty's attack on the warlords. The common people all praised His Majesty's use of soldiers like a god, and I yearned for it!"

As Liu Wenbing said, he patted his forehead suddenly and said: "By the way, I met Mr. Li Banghua in Zhejiang. He took Du Yinxi and Zhang Huangyan around to observe the people's conditions. He probably should come back in a few days."

"Oh, there are three more people who came to Xuzhou with the minister. Do you want to see your Majesty?"

"I will clean up Liu Aiqing first, and let the three of them come to see me in the study later." Li Cunming took Liu Wenbing's hand affectionately and went to the banquet together.

After dinner, Liu Wenbing led the three people to face the saint, but it turned out to be Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, Ruan Dacheng, who was unemployed, and Liu Zongzhou, the censor of Zuodu.

Seeing these three people, Li Cunming was disappointed for a while, pinched his teeth, and felt a headache again.

Ma Shiying, known as Hongguang Chao Jia Sidao, is a treacherous prime minister.

Ruan Dacheng, a member of the eunuch party, is an unscrupulous literati just like Qian Qianyi, a typical clown.The Hongguang court was defeated, and he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. In order to lead the way for the Manchu soldiers, he crossed mountains and ridges in spite of his illness, and died of exhaustion on Xianxia Ridge.

Liu Zongzhou is a good man and a loyal minister who died for the country, but he is the most difficult to deal with, he is old and stubborn!
I remember that when he was in the capital a few years ago, Liu Zongzhou often contradicted Chongzhen, and once even argued and quarreled with the emperor in front of Manchu officials, so angry that Chongzhen almost scolded his mother on the spot.

A traitor, a clown, and a stubborn old man, why are there three people here?

However, there are good and bad things. Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng are full-fledged political speculators. They didn't come early or late, but they chose this time to come to face the saint, which shows that a large number of people in the south are starting to look up to the emperor.

Li Cunming tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "You three have worked hard."

The three of them kowtowed, and Ma Shiying took the lead and said, "I come here to apologize!"

"What's your crime?" Li Cunming asked.

Ma Shiying put on a show, squeezed out a few tears and said: "I am the governor of Fengyang, but I can't restrain Liu Liangzuo, I am ashamed of my majesty."

Hmph, Liu Liangzuo is not dead, and you wouldn't say that!
Li Cunming was noncommittal, looked at Ma Shiying, and thought of Fu Wang Zhu Yousong, and he was concerned.

"Ma Shiying, since you claim to be guilty, I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Don't go back to Fengyang for the time being, take my handbook and go to the southern provinces, and call the vassal princes from all over the world to meet me in Xuzhou."

After going south for so long, I finally remembered those vassal kings, and it was time to take care of them!
Ma Shiying led the order to leave, and Ruan Dacheng said: "I am idle. Ruan Dacheng reported to the Holy Majesty. Hearing that the Holy Majesty went to the south and was stationed at the front line, I was worried day and night that I couldn't sleep or eat well. Recently, I sold some land and collected 50 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain. Come to Xuzhou."

Li Cunming smiled and said: "You still have a heart! I heard that you are very good at writing scripts, isn't it? Stay in Xuzhou City for now, write Liaocheng Ten Days into a big play, and bring your troupe to rehearse."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ruan Dacheng smiled openly.

Li Cunming looked at Liu Zongzhou, Liu Zongzhou straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please behead Yan Yingyuan to thank the world!"

What the hell?Li Cunming's scalp is numb!
