old lady in red

Chapter 190 War

Shi Mei not only closed the door to thank the guests, but also told Jia She and his sons not to interfere in Zhang Daoye's affairs.

So many people want to live, no matter how someone takes him.

It is best for the Second Mansion of Rong Ning not to touch the body.

Half a month later, Zhang Daoye was found dead in a mountain stream.

Died flawlessly.

It is said that he was on his way in the dark and stumbled and fell.

The Ministry of Punishment intervened, but no clues were found around.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival of this year, the air pressure in the palace was low.

The emperor was ill, and no one was in the mood for festivals.

In addition to governing the government, the prince also went to the Qianqing Palace to wait for illnesses every morning and evening.

The people did not dare to celebrate.

In Rongfu.

Shi Mei quietly made mooncakes of various flavors for the children, but she dared not give them away, lest the censor catch her making a fuss.

Although the door is closed.

However, the food for the children in Rongfu is not bad.

When Shimei had nothing to do, she thought about all kinds of food for the children.

Shutian ponders all kinds of porridge, millet porridge, green rice porridge, pumpkin porridge...

When winter comes, I cook soup for the children, pork bone soup, beef bone soup, lamb chop soup, chicken soup, dragon soup, fish soup.

In short, try to make up for the children.

He also took the children to climb mountains and dance swords every day to exercise.

We don't go out for entertainment, we hide at home to exercise and grow taller.

In the winter month of this year, Emperor Chunzheng was still suffering.

As a result, Prince Shunliu, the second prince under the name of Concubine Hui, died.

Concubine Hui Hu Ying'er was crying so hard that she always felt that someone had put the prince to death and wanted the emperor to make the decision.

When the queen stopped her, she fought desperately with the queen.

The queen had no choice but to allow Hu Yinger to take a look at the emperor from a distance.

As a result, Hu Yinger burst into tears when she saw the emperor, and directly said that the queen had deliberately put the prince to death.

These days, Emperor Chunzheng would occasionally be sober, and he would cry when someone visited him, and he felt a little conscious.

Hu Ying'er's crying is considered to have killed Emperor Chunzheng.

Emperor Chunzheng was sober at this moment.

He even said something: "What's the matter with the First Prince?"

In fact, Emperor Chunzheng never regarded Shuiyang as his son in his heart.

Usually he is in good spirits and can still pay attention to his words, but at this moment his flaws have been exposed.

Hu Ying'er didn't realize the mistake in the emperor's mouth, and immediately grabbed the emperor and cried: "Your Majesty, the second prince is dead, and was killed by someone.

He could have been immortal.

However, some people deliberately made things difficult.

The emperor's son is sick, and he actually stopped the dispatch of the best imperial physician, An imperial physician..."

Hu Yinger directly pointed out that the queen killed the second prince.

Because, she asked Imperial Physician An to diagnose the prince's pulse.

The queen sent quack doctors.

The queen stood with her head bowed, allowing Hu Yinger to be stupid.

An Yuanzhi was imprisoned, but the news was blocked, but she was not blocking it.

Right now, Emperor Chunzheng couldn't care who neglected Hu Yinger.

What he cared about was his own blood, and when he heard that his son had died, he thought of Fu Geer, who was even weaker.

Emperor Chunzheng's heart suddenly became hot, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

Hu Ying'er, who was crying on the bed, was sprayed with blood all over her face, and immediately let out a shrill scream.

Ji Jiying for a lifetime, the Emperor Chunzheng who had just been enthroned as the son emperor for seven years, died with Long Yu on the fifteenth day of the winter month of the seventh year of Chunzheng.

On this day, Shi Mei was making high soup and prepared more than a dozen kinds of shabu-shabu dishes. She brought her daughter-in-law, grandson-in-law, and great-grandson to eat in the pot.

At noon, the death knell suddenly sounded three times and nine times from the palace.

The death knell is very particular. When the emperor passed away, the death knell was struck three times, three times each time.

When the concubine passed away, she also knocked three times, twice each time.

Nine tolls!

Shi Mei had an epiphany, that Emperor Chunzheng Longyu had passed away.

Only Jiawei Jiawei doesn't know.

Before the official obituary was released, no one dared to speak out.

Shi Mei and Zhang's Shuiling looked at each other, not daring to make a sound.

Jia Lan has read and understood etiquette.

After he finished listening, his face was full of solemnity: "Old Ancestor, the holy car in the palace has died!"

Shi Mei nodded, but reached out to touch Jia Lan: "Good boy."

I still have to eat.

Shi Mei ordered to continue eating.

Except for Jiawei Jiawei, no one eats meat anymore.

After a meal, everyone ate it without smelling it.

Jia Jing also quietly came to Rongfu from the back garden.

He saluted Shi Mei: "Auntie, tell me, do you want to go out and find out?"

In fact, everyone has a clue in their hearts as to which holy driver, Long Yu, will die.

Shi Mei vetoed it: "At this time, it is most taboo to make random inquiries. There is an empress dowager, empress and prince in the palace, so the arrangements will be made properly. Let's just follow the arrangements."

The shackles in Shimei's heart were instantly shattered, and her whole body felt relaxed.

However, after all, people are dead.

The dead are the greatest and should be respected.

At noon that day, the emperor ordered the closure of the nine gates, and ordered the admiral of the nine gates, Yanhou, to impose martial law on the whole city.

The Fengsheng army outside the city was on guard day and night.

At midnight on the [-]th, the whole of Kyoto was brightly lit.

The Rong Mansion received a report from the imperial court: Emperor Chunzheng died, and the crown prince had already ascended the throne as emperor before his death.

Three days later, on the eighteenth day of the winter month, Emperor Chunzheng held a grand sacrifice.

Manchu civil and military officials, big and small, have to enter the palace to guard their filial piety and cry.

All the female relatives of the Rongning Second Mansion will go to the palace to guard their filial piety and weep their spirits.

Shimei and Zhang arranged nervously.

There is no need to celebrate this New Year's Eve, and ancestor worship is also avoided, but there are many fewer things.

This time, Mei Xin'er was not spared either, and wanted to enter the palace to cry.

Wang Shuhua Tanchun's mother and daughter once again took on the big responsibility, stationed in Rongfu, and presided over government affairs.

Jia Xun's daughter-in-law, Jia Xun's daughter-in-law, also came into the mansion to help take care of her.

Shimei, Zhang's water spirit, Mei Xin'er, grandparents and grandchildren of three generations, and the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law of the Yang family, the Yu family, and the Xu family in Ningfu, went to the palace every day to cry for the spirit, and returned before the time came.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, charcoal basins cannot be used in mourning halls. It is really cold.

The young people were still able to persevere, but the elderly and infirm fell several in front of the spirit.

The new Emperor Shuiyang felt that this was not the solution, so he asked the Queen Mother for instructions to exempt the elderly over 70 from vigil, and only mourn at home.

The Empress Dowager accepted advice and asked the Supreme Emperor together with the new emperor.

The Supreme Emperor will play.

For a time, the whole court praised the new emperor and empress dowager for her kindness and righteousness.

Shi Meide has already escaped from the team of crying spirits.

Yang once again sent his grandson and great-grandson to Rongfu and entrusted them to Shimei.

After the 21st, the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The coffin of Emperor Chunzheng was revived and transported to Huangji Hall in Xiaoci County.

Emperor Chunzheng will stay here for three months, and after the new year, he will be buried in the underground palace.

Countless civil and military officials fell ill along the way.

Fortunately, Du Ge and Luo Ge are all over 73 years old, so there is no need to go to Xiaoci County.

Therefore, the prince led the remaining three cabinet members and six civil and military departments to Xiaoci County.

The emperor led the two elders to stay in the capital and listen to the government.

Yan Hou's infantry commanded the Yamen to escort the new emperor to Xiaoci County.

Jia Amnesty's Holy Army stayed in Kyoto to defend the imperial city.

The first day of the first lunar month, Zhengdan Day.

The emperor proposed a new reign title: Xining.

Although it is not possible to celebrate the death of Emperor Chunzheng, but the benevolent government must be tried.

First of all, the concubine Du Jun was canonized as the queen.

Then, the queen mother was promoted to be the empress dowager, and the empress was the queen mother.

The Clan Mansion distributes gold books.

However, the celebration will be postponed until three years later.

After that, the world was amnesty and the entire dynasty was exempted from land tax for one year.

In the third decree issued by Emperor Xining, the emperor kept his filial piety for three years.

The Empress Dowager immediately promulgated a decree, that all women aged 13 and under 16 who are on the sidelines will be exempted from being a show girl and will marry on their own.

The emperor did not consummate the house for three years, but he had to delay the reproduction of the people.

Folks don't marry in March, and honored families are just not allowed to see Xiangle for a year.

After a year, they will be able to get married normally.

That is, Tanchun's marriage will be postponed for another year.

However, Luo Daokun had already released his official from Beijing, and went to a small county in the northwest to be the county magistrate.

This is a poor county that Mr. Luo Ge deliberately found for his grandson, in order to let his grandson survive.

Before he retires, arrange a place for his children and grandchildren, and others will have nothing to say.

Tanchun's mother-in-law also went to the south of the Yangtze River and made an agreement with Rongfu to return to Beijing to marry Tanchun on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month a year later.

Shi Mei was very emotional.

In this life, Tanchun did not marry far away, but the marriage was full of twists and turns.

In February of this year, Emperor Chunzheng had not yet been buried in the underground palace.

Emperor Xining's new dynasty has not yet begun, and a battle report suddenly came from Mobei.

The eldest prince of the Turhut tribe suddenly raised his troops and led [-] elite cavalry from the grassland to the border.

The Krupp army was unprepared and rushed to the battle.

Coach Wei Kun and his eldest son Wei Ruosong died in battle.

The eldest prince of the Turhute tribe occupied Yinchuan City.

And use this as a stronghold to burn, kill and loot everywhere.

Afterwards, the First Prince Commander captured the large and small towns near Yinchuan City, and sent a letter to General Bai, who was guarding the capital, requesting the imperial court to grant Yinchuan to the Turghut Department of the Grassland as the prefecture.

Otherwise, they will raise troops to break through the accompanying capital.

When the news reached Kyoto, there was an uproar in Kyoto.

After the death of Emperor Chunzheng, the Great Moon Dynasty did not report the funeral to Fanbang.

However, Wacha got the news.

The emperor was furious.

However, this is not the time to pursue leaks.

Mobei is only a few thousand miles away from Kyoto, and it is a flat river.

Once the enemy chieftain breaks through the accompanying capital, it only takes seven days to drive straight in and approach the city.

Emperor Xining called Da Qi.

The first question is who will lead the troops.

The emperor means order to lead the army.

Emperor Xining wanted to conquer in person.

Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty admired the courage of the new emperor, they were unwilling to take risks.

At this time, Yan Hou asked for an order to go out.

General Jia Amnesty of the Holy Army and Deputy General Feng Tang asked to fight.

As the servant of the Ministry of War, Jia Lian also went out to ask for the battle.

The emperor will play.

The king of Wu County was ordered to be the commander-in-chief, Feng Tang, the deputy general of the Holy Army, and Jia Lian, the servant of the Ministry of War, were the left and right vanguards.

He mobilized 7 forbidden troops and [-] Fengsheng troops, with a total of [-] horses, known as [-] soldiers and horses, to form a large army to conquer the north.

Jia Amnesty joined the Ministry of War with the title of Shangshu, and together with Prince Shun, Prince Zhongjing, and Prince Ying, formed the War Preparation and Logistics Department.

Specially responsible for raising food and grass for the frontline troops.

The next day.

Kyoto sent three teams of imperial envoys to the south of Huguang, Henan Province to collect food and grass.

Shi Mei was dumbfounded, not knowing why this battle started.

The only thing that could be matched was that the General's Mansion of the Wei family was surrounded by Jin Yiwei.

Everything has to wait for Hou Yan to arrive at the front line and figure out the whole story of the battle, and then he will decide what to do for the Wei family.

This time Shi Nai also invited the decree to participate in the exhibition, and was named a general under the command of Yan Hou.

So far, Shi Nai's admiration for Shi Mei has been endless.

If the historian is married to the Wei family, not only will they not be able to get back together this time, but they will also be implicated.

Shi Mei was not worried about Jia Lian's safety, but worried that he had no experience in the battlefield.

However, since Genghis Khan, Shi Mei has never heard of a very powerful tribe appearing on the grassland.

Shi Mei knew nothing about wars with the ancients, and her only advice to Jia Lian was to tell him not to underestimate the enemy.

Shi Mei's perception of grasslands is the danger of Caodianzi on the [-]-mile Long March.

Shi Mei made three points to Jia Lian.

First, don't venture into the swamp easily.

Second, do not send troops on rainy days.

Third, don't dabble in grassland rivers lightly.

The luggage prepared by Shui Ling is mostly dry food and clothing, and various medicines for red wounds.

The luggage Shi Mei gave Jia Lian was different. There was no food, no clothes, no medicine, and only a few thousand spirit stones.

The big one is the size of an egg, and the small one is the size of a pigeon egg, which is enough for Jia Lian to use for several years.

With these spirit stones, Jia Lian can replenish his physical strength anytime and anywhere, and be in the best trembling state.

The army assembled in early February and left Beijing on the tenth day of February.

It can be described as swift.

What the army carried with the army was the war reserve food in the Jingcang.

The Tartars have occupied Yinchuan City, an important town in Mobei, and seized the supplies and food of the Krupp army.

They rob the people and rely on the city. No one can predict how long the war will last.

Shi Mei didn't have the slightest grasp of this war.

This time, Erlang from the back street selected another 58 people.

They are all young and middle-aged men over 15 years old and under 35 years old, and they are incorporated into Jia Lian's personal guards.

The scouts from the two prefectures also selected 68 people and incorporated them into Jia Lian's personal guards.

This is the protection of Jia Lian, and it is also the tempering of Rongfu's strength.

The Tartars claim to be [-] elite, but in fact no one knows how many there are.

After the army was launched, Kyoto was on alert.

The gates are opened at Sishi in the morning and closed at Shenshi in the afternoon.

Only the supply troops collecting food and grass can come in and out freely with the badge of the Ministry of War.

Since Jia Lian left, the Zhang family has been stationed in the small Buddhist hall to chant scriptures and worship Buddha, leaving all common affairs to his daughter-in-law.

Shi Mei, on the other hand, is serious about reporting to the imperial court every day, paying attention to the movements of the imperial court all the time.

Jia Zheng stopped work at the manufacturing office of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, urging the building of armored weapons.

Jia Jing also returned to the Ministry of War to work as an errand, as long as he was in charge of the inventory and distribution of ordnance.

Early March.

Shui Che, the prince of Wujun as the main general, and Jia Rong, Bai Jintang, and Feng Ziying, the four young generals formed the backup logistics force, and escorted military equipment, food, grass and other supplies to Mobei for the first time.

As the saying goes, fighting brothers, fighting father and son soldiers.

At times like this, food and weapons are life.

Those who are not close and trustworthy dare not entrust.

Early May.

The news of Mobei's success, the Beibei Army regained Yinchuan City.

The eldest prince of the Turghut tribe led more than [-] elite men under his command to break through the siege on a rainy night and fled back to the depths of the grassland.

The hearts of the people in the court were encouraged, and there was a great intention to wipe out the remnants of the Turghut tribe in three to five days.

Shi Mei saw the real battle report.

The enemy chiefs killed and injured more than [-] people, but our army suffered more than [-] casualties.

Although the number of grassland Tartars is small, they have grown up on horseback since they were young, and they can live on horseback day and night.

Our soldiers are not used to the climate in the north.

Half of the remaining 4 horses fell ill.

In a word, the elimination of the Turghut Ministry in a short period of time is just a dream.
