Chapter 431
Xu Changqing thought that the Hongniang was joking, but she just said something casually, but she didn't expect that she took it seriously and obviously gave a lot of effort.
This made Xu Changqing feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say. After all, Li Yan was also in the formation...
"What are you doing when you are standing stupid? Why don't you drink the soup while it's hot?"
Looking at Xu Changqing's cute appearance, the red lady's pretty face turned slightly red, bit her red lips, and said hurriedly.
But as she said that, she also realized Xu Changqing's embarrassment and hurriedly added: "What should I do if you are sick and there are so many brothers in our Model Army?"
Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Thank you, Hong, thank you Sister Hong. I have always been in good health and should be fine."
I quickly picked up the bowl and started drinking it carefully.
The Hongniang looked at Xu Changqing's careful drinking soup, and a smile appeared on her pretty face, but in a flash, there was a little indescribable pity in her beautiful eyes.
Only when life came to this point did she realize that human things were too complicated.
Although she really wanted to communicate with Xu Changqing more, or even go further, she also understood that this was like a natural barrier that could hardly be crossed, and she could not pull Xu Changqing down the abyss for her own desires.
After Xu Changqing finished drinking the ginger soup, the Hongniang didn't say much, picked up the bowl and left.
Watching her beautiful figure leave and sniffing the familiar fragrance remaining in the tent, Xu Changqing was also a little dazed for a moment.
This is a damn life is difficult!
...
Early the next morning, Xu Changqing received the incident of Emperor Chongzhen's "royal debt" in the capital, and was a little silent for a moment.
To be honest, this idea is actually very good.
But... Emperor Chongzhen chose the wrong partner a little and wasted the best time...
The first person to come up with this idea was the original Ge Lao Xue Guoguan. Lao Xue was very good at other aspects, but to be precise, it was still very easy to do the "Dang Family".
If Emperor Chongzhen had followed Xue Guoguan's advice, and had this set of "national debt" besides high interest rates, connecting the royal nobles in the capital with the people, and forming a community of interests, it would be hard to say many things.
This is like a bank in later generations.
If you owe hundreds of thousands, they can kill you, but if you owe tens of millions or hundreds of millions, they will definitely pay you as their ancestors, for fear of an accident.
But at this time, the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty had collapsed, and everyone was too busy to find a way. How could they take this market?
The key is that Emperor Chongzhen's reputation among the people has long collapsed...
In the capital, Xu Changqing was out of reach at this time. After understanding, he threw it away and devoted himself to the model army.
Before the hour of the year, the large group of people continued to advance eastward in the autumn rain that had already become much thinner.
Zhang Qingchuan and Zhou Kunpeng were still in the slave camp at this time, but by this time, they had gradually adapted to the rhythm.
Even though the slave camp was not nice, they were all dirty and tiring work. A few days ago, the two brothers went to the mountain to pull red cannons, and they almost died of exhaustion, and their arms and waist were broken.
But it was these training that made the two of them have much better health than before. Although they had not been trained by regular army, a strong aura has gradually been revealed from the two of them.
In the misty rain, the two brothers guided several mules and horses to pull a big cart at the same time.
The cart is loaded with food and grass. Even though it is heavy, it often requires pushing a cart, but it is already very easy to live. They are lucky. The guys who pull the red cannon behind them are the real power to die.
Both sides controlled the cart forward while communicating quietly.
"Brother Zhang, have you heard of it? The thief is about to force him to come now
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The capital city is down, how could this happen..."
Zhou Kunpeng's face was full of annoyance, and he felt so distressed that he could not breathe.
He grew up in an old house in Huzhou and was the eldest son of the legitimate son. He had never suffered any other grievances except for being defeated by Xu Changqing. He had no choice but to suffer any pain in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Qingchuan is more mature than Zhou Kunpeng.
His hometown is from Hejian. After all, he is closer to the capital and comes into contact with the world of fame and fortune earlier. After being slapped by Xu Changqing in the face, his growth was rapid.
"We used to be superficial. At this time, we calmed down and thought about it carefully. It seemed unexpected, but it was actually reasonable. How many times have the imperial court won the battles over the years? Alas..."
He sighed deeply, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and his life is floating and rising and falling, and the rain is blowing duckweed."
Zhou Kunpeng touched the rainwater on his face and said, "Then, Brother Zhang, what should we do now? What is our uncle thinking? Wouldn't he go to the capital to rescue him? If he really doesn't go, he will really have to confirm the reputation of "traitor"."
At this time, although the two still hated Xu Changqing very much, they were more afraid. After being in the Model Army for a long time, they gradually began to integrate into the Model Army, and more began to think about problems as the Model Army.
Especially the deeper they know about the model army, the more they understand that Xu Changqing's background is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even though he is not as powerful as a refugee army at this time, he may not have the ability to conquer the world in one battle.
Zhang Qingchuan frowned slightly, looked around, and saw that no one noticed them, so he shook his head and said, "Is it possible for me to guess the intentions of Bo Zhongyi? If Bo Zhongyi was not stuck in Tongguan and the main force of the thief was restrained, I am afraid that the current situation would have been even more chaotic. Brother Zhou, don't say too much, let's do the things in front of us!"
As he said that, he lowered his voice again and said, "Brother Zhou, I always feel that Uncle Zhongyi is treating us well. He seems to be strict with us, but he has never failed to polish us. We must try our best to seize this opportunity."
"Forehead?"
Zhou Kunpeng suddenly became clever. He actually realized this, but it was not transparent enough. At this time, he was immediately integrated by Zhang Qingchuan: "Brother Zhang, you mean..."
"Damn it, I'm stuck in a car again! You guys, come and help!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Qingchuan originally wanted to mention Zhou Kunpeng, but at this time the car pulling the red cannon behind had a malfunction again. No one said anything more and hurried to the back to help.
Not far away, Xu Changqing looked at this scene and his mouth curled up.
The Chinese nation, this huge dynasty, is not that there are no people available, but for various reasons, many things have been distorted!
Without experiencing the pain, how can these people understand the precious truth?
...
The capital was in full swing, and the model army was still rushing, but the refugee army continued to sing and sang triumphantly!
Taiyuan City.
Due to geographical location, light snow has already started to float.
Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing and others were not affected by the weather at all and rushed here all the way.
On the top of the city, looking at the majestic city, the few people were in a good mood.
Liu Zongmin laughed and said, "Emperor, Xu Changqing retreated to the Central Plains, not only gave way to Tongguan, but also liberated Liu Fangliang's elite troops. In the next step, we will take Baoding and we can attack Xuan Da! At that time, our rebel army will take two-pronged approaches, and we will be able to force the capital of the Ming court before the New Year!"
Song Xiance hurriedly slapped his horse and said, "Old Master, so many good men have died in battle, now
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Finally I saw hope.”
Li Zicheng played the snowmobi on the felt hat, and he was full of energy: "These are all forcing the soldiers to work hard, and everyone works together! Now, as the people want, our rebel army will move forward and pacify the world as soon as possible!"
Everyone was flattering, the atmosphere was warm and comfortable, and even the bitter cold from the Mongolian grassland on the top of the city was dispersed a lot.
After thinking about the future for a while, Li Zicheng also shifted the topic to the main topic, "Dear friends, I heard that the Ming Dynasty Prince Pu, Wang Pu, had fled to Datong, and our rebel army, how should we deal with it?"
Unlike Yuan Zongdi's unit on the eastern front, which was as smooth as silk, it was necessary to force Baoding Prefecture, Gao Yigong's unit on the northern front is now in trouble.
It was not someone else who caused them trouble. It was Zhou Yuji, who had just been promoted to the general of Shanxi and guarded Ningwu Pass.
Zhou Yuji did not have many people at this time, only five or six thousand, and they were still remnants and new troops. However, he was very charming. He was stuck in the fortress Ningwu Pass, which was stuck in the north, so Gao Yigong's army of more than 100,000 was almost five days, but he still could not break the city.
Liu Zongmin sneered: "Dingbei Bo Wang Pu? Haha, it's just a greedy man and businessman, so it's not worth worrying! Zhou Yuji, the new Shanxi general, is a little interesting. However, with his manpower, what's the difference between trying to block the hundreds of thousands of troops of our rebel army and beating a chariot?
Emperor, everyone, everyone can rest assured. The high-ranking master is a good player. At most, there will be good news. Uh, the one who is worried now is Xu Changqing's dog thief! He did not go to the capital to serve the king as soon as possible, but retreated to Kaifeng. He had a lot of plans!"
As soon as I heard Xu Changqing, the originally comfortable atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Song Xiance was also much more serious and said in a deep voice: "Emperor, what you said is very true. Xu Changqing is really different from ordinary people. If he retreats to Kaifeng, he will not only get supplies from Kaifeng, but also keep up with the supply line in Shandong. Although they cannot pose a threat to our rebel army for the time being, once our rebel army takes Xuanda and Baoding, it will inevitably face a tough battle!"
Everyone nodded and was silent for a moment.
Xu Changqing's power was not obtained for no reason, but the corpses of countless enemies were piled up. Even if their rebels were powerful at this time, they were also one of the victims.
At this time, Niu Jinxing smiled proudly and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Xu Changqing and his model army are indeed very powerful. In the past, we really had a lot of trouble. But now, hehe, it's just a native chicken and a tile dog!"
"Um?"
Everyone looked at Niu Jinxing in surprise.
Obviously, the cannon was a bit big.
Liu Zongmin was particularly disliked. Mr. Liu had suffered a lot from Xu Changqing. Now, what does this bull's nose mean?
Li Zicheng was also a little displeased, but his cunning became deeper and deeper, without any expression, and he smiled and said, "Military advisor, why do you say this?"
Niu Jinxing also knew that his burden was a bit too intense, so he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. He hurriedly explained with a smile: "There is nothing else, it's just the word "general trend!"
As he said that, he explained carefully with great enthusiasm: "Emperor, everyone, if our rebel army did not occupy the general trend of the world and did not have so many support from the people, it would be really difficult to fight for Xu Changqing.
But Xu Changqing is not a god after all!
He has chosen to go to Kaifeng now, but when he is safe, he will rush to the capital, our rebel army has already formed a force to sweep the world. By then, our rebel army will probably not be a army of hundreds of thousands, but a million, or even more! And with the right time, place and people, why not be afraid of Xu Changqing?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
