(This month is the last complete month for this book. It will be finished at the beginning of next month or on the 30th of this month. The next book may be City, which is my strong point. Everyone will wait and see)
This sudden change made Zhang Lei feel very sad. Not only had he lost so many people, but also because the good situation that he had worked hard for had been broken. His hard work of more than ten years was now almost destroyed. Now the reason why the Manchu and Qing Dynasties cannot defeat Zhang Lei is because of the firearms that Zhang Lei possesses. But as a result, a lot of these equipment were snatched away by the Qing army. These are not suitable for those who can help the Qing army create cannons. It's not something profound, and it can definitely be figured out after a period of time. By that time, it will be impossible for Zhang Lei to suppress the Qing army like this again. He adopted a policy of temporary concessions, and all the Ming troops retreated a hundred miles away from Shengjing under his command.
The battle report from the front line soon arrived in front of Chongzhen. He was used to victory, but when he saw it with hope, he saw that this was actually the news of defeat, and it seemed that the loss was not small. He immediately became furious and issued an edict to severely reprimand the army. , Zhang Lei was furious, and suddenly received the reprimanding order from Chongzhen. He was immediately furious and tore the edict into pieces on the spot. The soldier who delivered the order was shocked and stammered. : "Master Zhang, what are you"
Zhang Lei's eyes were already red and he looked very ferocious. He roared angrily: "What's wrong with me? This bitch doesn't know anything. He's happy when he wins a battle, but he's not happy when he loses." Sitting on that throne, I feel free and at ease. How do you know the luck and suffering of us outsiders? Forget it, you still have to get involved in everything. You are obviously a layman. It would be really strange if you don't lose the battle. Daming He has to bear half of the responsibility for the chaos that has come to this day. He talks about being diligent and caring for the people. These are all bullshit. Intelligence is the flaw. If he sits on that throne and does nothing, I will still thank him. He is now It's hard for me to do this. I'm going to write a note right now and send it to you. Also, if you say a word to the outside world about what I just said, be careful with your head. Do you hear me?"
That soldier was just here to deliver the order, but he didn¡¯t know what Zhang Lei¡¯s temper was like. Seeing that he tore up the edict directly, how could he doubt what Zhang Lei said, so he quickly agreed. Zhang Lei immediately wrote the memorial and sealed it for him to take away.
After leaving Zhang Lei¡¯s tent, the soldier breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the sun in the sky, he suddenly felt like he had lived his whole life again. It was so depressing to stay with Zhang Lei, and it seemed that his life might be lost at any time.
Zhang Lei was sitting in his seat. The more he thought about it, the more unfair he felt. They all lived under the same blue sky. How could there be such a big difference between people?
"Master Zhang, you seem to be sulking. Who has offended you?" At this moment, Sun Chuanting walked in. He just passed by outside and saw someone running out in a hurry. He suddenly felt curious and came in to take a look. look.
Then he inadvertently saw something on the ground, and immediately said with a smile: "It seems that the anger is really strong, what is this." He squatted down and pieced the scraps of paper together bit by bit, and was immediately frightened. He jumped, looked up at Zhang Lei and said, "Master Zhang, how dare you tear up the edict?"
Zhang Lei immediately laughed and said: "What do I dare not do? He made me unhappy. What can I do if I tear him apart? He just has an extra identity. Just for that identity, I will do it." I can't do it if I wrong myself. My allegiance is not to him, but to this country. In fact, in my opinion, your various behaviors of worshiping the emperor are trampling on your own dignity. Forget it. Stop talking, why are I saying these treasonous things to you? By the way, what are you doing here all of a sudden?"
"It's nothing. I just saw a man running out in a hurry when I passed by here. I was curious, so I came in to take a look. Mr. Zhang, why is this necessary? Even if you are angry with the emperor, you can't be angry now that the emperor is not here. Isn't he? But it's not worth it if he's so angry that he's so angry." Sun Chuanting said. Then he seemed to remember something again and asked: "Master Zhang, I just want to ask, what should we do next? We can't stay here forever, right?"
Zhang Lei already had his own plan for this. He said: "Well, I already have my plan. If you are willing to follow me, then follow me. If you are not willing to follow, I will give you some." The soldiers let you work alone."
"Well, let's talk about this later. Since Mr. Zhang already has an idea, I will wait for the good news from Mr. Zhang. I won't disturb you anymore. I will go out first." Sun Chuanting said.
Let¡¯s talk about Chongzhen, since Li ZichengAfter the biggest and most disobedient rebel was driven out of the pass by Zhang Lei, although other small groups of rebels were still active, they were not enough to cause trouble. The tens or two hundred thousand Zhang Lei left behind The trained soldiers can be of great use at this time. As long as the generals sent by Chongzhen are not particularly stupid, they can basically command a few victorious battles. Now Chongzhen was most concerned about the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He hoped that Zhang Lei could capture Shengjing in the next moment, but he did not expect to lose the battle, so he issued an edict to reprimand Zhang Lei, but as soon as the edict came out, he I regretted it a little and felt that I had spoken too harshly, but then I thought about it, I am the emperor, when did I need to be afraid of Zhang Lei? So he felt at ease until someone put what Zhang Lei had written on his desk.
This is naturally what Zhang Lei wrote. Chongzhen seemed a little scared when he saw the title of Zhang Lei's book. He didn't know why he felt like this. In his heart, Zhang Lei seemed to be a peerless master. A good sword. If he uses it well, he can fight in all directions and fight for world supremacy. However, if he is not careful, he may be injured, so he is very cautious.
Opening the memorial, what Zhang Lei wrote in it was very direct. He first explained the ins and outs of the defeat, and then investigated the root cause. Of course, this root problem must have nothing to do with Zhang Lei, nor with those who fought the defeat. , the ones concerned are other officials and wealthy businessmen. So Zhang Lei then brought up his own topic from this question, that is, he asked himself to be the governor of Jiliao, and issued a military order to prevent the Manchus from entering the customs. However, he also requested that he not be paid by the imperial court, nor be supervised by the imperial court. Jun, it¡¯s up to you how to beat him! To put it in layman's terms, I can prevent the Qing army from going south, but I have the final say on what to do, and you, the court, don't give a damn.
This was not the first time that Zhang Lei had done something like this, but Chongzhen was still as angry as the first time. He threw the book directly on the table and said loudly: "This Zhang Lei is really going too far."
"What's wrong?" Recently, it seems that when it comes to things related to Zhang Lei, not all, but at least a large part of it will make Chongzhen furious. This time is no exception, Wang Chengen, who is waiting beside him, asked.
Chongzhen said: "You can see for yourself, I am too lazy to say anything."
Wang Chengen carefully took the memorial and read it, and immediately understood why Chongzhen lost his temper. But generally speaking, from his own point of view, he was still willing to listen to Zhang Lei, because so many years of experience told him , Zhang Lei said that there had never been any mistakes, but it was Chongzhen. Although his starting point was to be diligent and caring for the people, it was impossible for him, a superior emperor, to understand the actual situation and issue some self-righteous orders, which would often have the opposite effect. .
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang is a very thoughtful person, and although the way he does things is a bit extreme, he never seems to have had any objections. Perhaps we should believe him. And as mentioned above, he does these things completely. There is no need for the court to provide a tael of silver, and even the soldiers can be paid by himself, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of the court." Wang Chengen said.
Chongzhen frowned and asked doubtfully, "Really?" From his tone, it seemed that he didn't even believe in himself.
Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, if Mr. Zhang really wants to rebel after all these years, I'm afraid" At this point, he seemed to realize that the content was a bit disrespectful, so he shut up quickly. He was different from Zhang Lei. Lei is a character who dares to tear up edicts.
Chongzhen couldn't help but frown, but he didn't let Wang Chengen see it, and then fell silent. After a long time, he said: "Well, that's what you said, then let him do it. As long as I can Seeing that he brings me good news, I will obey him."
Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Chongzhen would condemn him, so he quickly said: "Does the emperor need to write another edict to him?"
"Well, write it. Although I guess he will do it whether he writes it or not. If it is really investigated, he really doesn't understand etiquette. But he has done so many things without knowing etiquette. I really don't know what to do. Comment, write it, I¡¯ll wait and see what good news he can bring.¡±
As Chongzhen spoke, he began to write the edict. After the edict was written, he had someone take it out to Zhang Lei. As soon as the edict was written, he had some vague expectations as to what kind of things Zhang Lei would do next. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
