Luoyang Storm Chapter 41, I want to kill the thief with a knife

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Thinking about the various situations and their subsequent effects, Zhu Yousong felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders. His previous success in seizing the mountain stronghold and successfully holding it was shattered. He smiled bitterly in his heart: It turns out that being a time traveler is a lot of pressure.  This constant pressure makes the time travelers continue to work hard to reform until the last moment.

    ?Perhaps this is the process that time travelers like the most.  When you look back on everything in the past, you will be proud to find that this process of change due to yourself is the most exciting and moving.

    With such a mentality, Zhu Yousong felt so relaxed that he felt a surge of passion coming from his heart: The past, present, and future are all determined by me!

    In the days that followed, Zhu Yousong used a positive attitude to deal with various officials in Henan Province, lamenting the harm of the refugees and the strategies for building water conservancy projects, and persuaded them to spend money and efforts to recruit the refugees and build water conservancy projects.

    However, the effect is far from satisfactory.  But it was also beyond Zhu Yousong's expectation.  After all, under the official mentality that doing one's job well and not having any accidents is the greatest achievement, only a few Qingtian parent officials in history could do such extraordinary things.

    Song Laifu saw that the young prince was running around everywhere recently, and he couldn't help but said: "My lord, please don't spend time on these officials. How can these stupid pigs with human heads and pig brains, who only know how to get money when they open their mouths, give free money and effort to help the common people make things."  If they don't increase taxes or kill people, everything will be fine."

    Zhu Yousong shook his head and smiled: "You don't understand this. Of course, these stupid pigs will not work in vain. But if you bypass them, even if you don't use their efforts, they will try their best to suppress you. You know,  Why would I associate refugees with the construction of water conservancy projects?¡±

    Song Laifu scratched his head and said with a smile, "I don't know. However, the prince's move must have profound meaning."

    "You guys have learned how to flatter." Zhu Yousong pointed at Song Laifu and said: "Integrating the refugees is our original purpose. Letting them contribute money and effort to build water conservancy projects is just incidental. Moreover, mentioning these two purposes together  If those officials listen, they will retreat, and the success rate of agreeing to take in the refugees will be greatly increased. As long as this goal can be achieved, then there will be a chance for us to make a comeback."

    The words were very clear, but Song Laifu still shook his head to show that he didn't understand: "Why are there so many twists and turns here? It confused me. Fortunately, I am just a guard, so I don't have to think about these headaches."

    Zhu Yousong smiled. He had never thought that one or two sentences would be enough for this close guard to understand. His words were just a summary of his own strategy.  A wise man needs to think a lot before he acts. Zhu Yousong believes that he is still far away from being a wise man. Every step he takes requires more thinking and verification. In the words of colleague Xiaoping: make bold guesses and verify carefully.

    Zhu Yousong changed the topic: "By the way, has there been any news from Ma Qi recently?"

    Song Laifu said angrily: "Seventh Brother asked someone to send a message, saying that the old eunuch has not been out recently and is very peaceful. Therefore, there is no trace of the White Lotus Sect."

    Zhu Yousong patted him on the shoulder and said: "The fox will show its tail eventually. What the hunter needs to do at this time is to wait patiently. You ask Ma Qi to continue to keep an eye on it, and notify him immediately as soon as there is news, and do not act rashly."

    At this moment, Zhu Chengfang, the old housekeeper Zhu, walked in quickly, came to Zhu Yousong and said softly: "My young prince, there is news from the capital."

    "What's the matter?"

    "The memorial for the young prince's hereditary blessing has been approved." Zhu Chengfang replied, "However, there is another piece of news, which is extremely unfavorable to the young prince." At this point, his eyes were a little uncertain, and his worried look was evident.  .

    "explain!"

    Zhu Chengfang came back to his senses and said: "The emperor has heard that the prince has voluntarily joined the bandits in order to seek peace. Long Yan was furious and has issued an order, ordering the young prince to go to Beijing to explain the situation."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of nowhere.

    Zhu Yousong's expression remained unchanged and he said: "Uncle Fang is overly worried. If the emperor really suspects that this king is willing to be a thief, then he will not let the clan government approve my position as the hereditary blessed king. Even if he really gives the order  Asking me to go to Beijing to explain the situation is just a matter of passing the regulations, so there is no need to worry."

    Hearing Zhu Yousong's analysis, Zhu Chengfang said in his heart: "That's good, that's good. Mr. Cai also told me not to worry just now. I didn't expect the young prince to be thinking like this. Now I feel relieved."

    ?? Prince Fu Zhu Changxun almost became the crown prince and replaced the current throne of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian. His vision was far-reaching, so how could it be wrong?

    However, Zhu Yousong looked relaxed on the outside but did not relax at all on the inside. He asked in a deep voice: "Who sent the news?"

    Zhu Chengfang returned immediately?: "The news is absolutely reliable. The person who brought the news is an informant trained by the palace since childhood. There is nothing wrong with being loyal."

    Zhu Yousong nodded, but said: "Send someone to inquire about the information again, and it must be detailed."

    Zhu Chengfang didn't ask any more questions. These matters were related to the fate of the entire palace, so naturally they couldn't be taken lightly.

    Zhu Yousong is also worried in his heart. The groundless rumors are not without reason. This Emperor Chongzhen is not a fool, but can be said to be a rare diligent king since the Ming Dynasty.  I'm afraid his decision to let me go to Beijing wasn't as simple as explaining the situation.  What's even more frightening is that he has to leave for the capital before everything has begun. It may take a year and a half to go there. It's really terrible to waste so much time.

    What is even more frightening is that the Tatars of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have spread their claws and begun to attack the Ming Dynasty.  It is now February 1638, and in March, Dorgon of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will launch a massive attack on Ming Dynasty.  Subsequently, the important town of Gaoyang in Hebei Province fell. Sun Jizong, a generation of military strategists and frontier poets of the Ming Dynasty, and the famous anti-Qing general, died in battle, which reduced the foundation of Ming Dynasty and made Ming Dynasty even more shaky.

    Perhaps, it would be a good idea to rescue Sun Jizong to Henan.  But Zhu Yousong found it a bit difficult, because in October of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Prince Dorgon of Qingrui once again led his army to break through the Great Wall and invade Jinan.  Friends Cai Ding and others persuaded Sun Chengzong to seek refuge in Baoding, while Mao Yuanyi persuaded Sun Chengzong to go to the south. Sun Chengzong politely refused. He said: "I am already this old, there is nothing to fear. If I have the opportunity to die on the battlefield, I will."  It¡¯s a worthy death.¡±

    Furthermore, when the Qing soldiers attacked Gaoyang, Sun Chengzong, at the age of 76, led his family and the people of Gaoyang to resist.

    Due to the huge disparity in military strength, even Sun Chengzong mobilized his eldest son Sun Quan, who was a county magistrate in Shandong, to donate money to buy bricks and built Gaoyang Tucheng into a brick city.  However, Gaoyang City was quickly breached, and Sun Chengzong was captured by Qing soldiers.  Dorgon was very happy when he heard that Sun Chengzong had been captured. He came in person to persuade him to surrender, but Sun Chengzong sternly refused!  An officer extorted gold and silver from Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong cursed: "You bastard slave, don't you know that there is a Mr. Sun Ge in heaven who has no gold and silver?" The Qing soldiers had no choice but to respect him and agreed that Sun Chengzong could commit suicide; the Qing guarding him  The soldiers couldn't bear it, but Sun Chengzong committed suicide and was rescued three times from Liang Shang.  In the evening, the Qing soldiers changed their defenses. Sun Chengzong sat on a chair and ordered two Qing soldiers to strangle him with white silk, ending his life calmly and heroically.

    These things will make future generations brag about them.  This is a living and inspiring aspiration that inspires people to forge ahead.

    Zhu Yousong sighed secretly, hoping that the backup plan he had arranged would come in handy, lest such a respectable old man die for his country.

    Zhu Yousong clenched his fists: He is so strong that he wants to kill the thief with a knife!
