Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 242 Death

"So, the man who built the slaves along the way was Man Qing and Prince Duoduo of Shuoyu?" Yan Yingyuan took out two wheat cakes and baked them on the edge of the brazier, and said, "Hou Fangyu was ordered by him to come here to separate You and I?"

"Yes." Maoxiang said, "And he also promised me that after the matter is completed, he will be granted the first-class title."

"Emperor First-Class Duke?" Yan Yingyuan said in disbelief, "This is the Duke of the State, and the price is not low."

"It's not enough." Maoxiang said again, "Duoduo also promised me that after returning to Beijing to report to Ming Dorgon, he will be crowned the king of the county."

"We also need to be crowned king, which is comparable to Wu Sangui and Kong Youde." Yan Yingyuan said, "It can be seen that Duoduo values ​​you very much, brother Pijiang."

Mao Xiang shook his head and said, "Duoduo values ​​Shanyang."

Yan Yingyuan hummed, and then asked, "Duoduo is said to be good at fighting?"

"Yes, it is said that he has a lot of strategy." Mao Xiang nodded and said, "And this man is the fifteenth son of the old slave, quite brave, he can be called the second among the nobles of the Eight Banners after Dorgon. "

"If that's the case, let him die in Shanyang." Yan Yingyuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he said in a deep voice, "Right now, my Daming is at an absolute disadvantage compared to Jiannu in military affairs, and I still have no strength to go out for the Northern Expedition. But if you seize this opportunity to cut off one of Dorgon's arms first, it can still be done."

Hearing Yan Yingyuan's words, Maoxiang's eyes lit up instantly.

Maoxiang said: "Brother Boheng, have you already thought about how to deal with Duoduo?"

"Well, I have a general idea." Yan Yingyuan nodded and said, "Duoduo knows soldiers, and he has followed the old slave to fight everywhere since he was a teenager, so it may be difficult to deal with him with ordinary methods."

Mao Xiang smiled and said, "So you thought of an unusual method?"

Mao Xiang's words were originally just for teasing, but Yan Yingyuan responded without humility.

"Yes." Yan Yingyuan said with a serious face, "I'm going to use Xicheng as a grave to bury Duoduo and the tens of thousands of troops under his command!"

"Ah?" Mao Xiang was taken aback.

Use Xicheng as a grave to send Duoduo and his tens of thousands of troops? !
This time Maoxiang was really taken aback, not only by Yan Yingyuan's courage and determination, but also by Yan Yingyuan's thinking that ordinary people can't match, this is really amazing!

At least Maoxiang would never have thought of such a big deal.

Immediately Mao Xiang collected himself and asked, "Brother Wu Heng, can you explain it carefully to my younger brother?"

"Of course." Yan Yingyuan said, "I think so, like Chen Gong in the Three Kingdoms, just asking you to write a letter to Duoduo, I am afraid it will be difficult to trick him into the city."

"Duoduo will only send one general at most."

"I'm afraid there will not be many troops entering the city, at most one or two thousand."

"Such a good opportunity, if we can only bury a member of Jiannu and several thousand people, it will be a waste of heaven, so we must not waste this opportunity lightly."

"If you want to lure Duduo into the city, you must pay a sufficient price."

"Shanyang Xicheng is the seat of Hecao Governor Xingyuan, plus the residence of Huai'an Mansion. Brother Pijiang, you are sincere enough to offer Xicheng and my head, Yan Yingyuan."

After a pause, Yan Yingyuan said again: "If Duoduo still refuses to be fooled after doing this, I, Yan Yingyuan, will have no regrets even if the sky will never destroy him."

When Mao Xiang heard the words, his expression changed suddenly and he said, "Brother Wu Heng, what do you mean by that?"

"I mean, death." Yan Yingyuan said solemnly, "I will exchange my life in Jiaxi City in exchange for the complete annihilation of Duoduo and tens of thousands of slaves. If this deal is completed, blood will be earned!"

"No!" Maoxiang said decisively, "I won't agree!"

"Brother Pijiang, I believe you will agree in the end." Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "Hou Fangyu said, now Duoduo and the nobles of the Eight Banners want to eat my flesh raw, so you just need to take me down and offer it to Duoduo." Duo, Duo will definitely not be suspicious, and he will definitely lead an army into the west city, and then brother can burn it and the west city to ashes."

"Brother Boheng, no matter what you say, I will never agree to this matter, it is absolutely impossible." Mao Xiang flatly refused.

"Take Pijiang!" Yan Yingyuan suddenly became angry, and shouted, "Are you jealous of me, jealous of me?"

"What did you say?" Mao Xiang looked at Yan Yingyuan in astonishment, and said in disbelief, "What am I jealous of?"

"I'm jealous that I have such a chance to be famous in history and forever!" Yan Yingyuan said angrily, "If this is done, and if the Hall of Martyrs in front of the Taizu Mausoleum is completed in the future, my name, Yan Yingyuan, will definitely be engraved on the The most eye-catching place in the row, the scholars of later generations will definitely pay homage to me Yan Yingyuan, but you, Maoxiang, do not have such an honor, so you are jealous of me, don't you?"

"That's not the case." Mao Xiang said anxiously, "How can I be such a small person."

"Mao Bijiang, you are a villain, you pretend to be a benevolent gentleman in front of me." Yan Yingyuan suddenly punched Mao Xiang on the cheek, Mao Xiang was caught off guard by the punch, and his face was swollen.

Mao Xiang was stunned, what's going on?Brother Boheng, why did you hit someone?
Yan Yingyuan blinked his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Pijiang, fight back, fight back quickly."

Although Mao Xiang didn't understand why, he instinctively punched back and cursed loudly at the same time: "Yan Juheng, you are too deceitful, I, Mao Pijiang, will swear against you today!"

At that moment, the two grabbed each other's skirts and began to fight each other.

Wu Erdan and other Xiangyong rushed in when they heard the movement, and found that the two had been completely wrestling together, so they rushed forward to separate the two, and after they separated, they kept cursing endlessly.

That night, the news that the two had turned against each other spread throughout the city.

……

"Hiss, take it easy."

Mao Xiang gasped in pain.

Hou Fangyu put down the towel and said, "This guy surnamed Yan is too ruthless."

"He didn't ask for anything cheap." Mao Xiang stared at two panda eyes and said, "I broke the bridge of his nose."

"Brother Pijiang, why is this?" Hou Fangyu asked with concern, "Why are you fighting so well?"

Mao Xiang said angrily: "Why else? It's not because I want to check the account books, but he insisted on being the master and general to stop me from checking. In the end, he simply moved his hands, but it was useless."

"He won't let you check the accounts?" Hou Fangyu said, "There is no problem with the accounts."

"It's up to you to say that." Mao Xiang said angrily, "I have long known that there is a problem with the accounts. Since last October, the person surnamed Yan has secretly colluded with others to pretend to pay for food. I know all about it."

"Knowing that you still don't report him?" Hou Fangyu said, "Report him to Chongzhen."

"I sued, but it's useless." Mao Xiang sighed, "The Holy One trusts him more than me."

"Ha, what did I say?" Hou Fangyu said with a look of disdain, "Brother Pijiang, do you still remember the two banners that Chongzhen ordered people to erect outside the Jinchuan Gate?"

Mao Xiang snorted and said, "Why don't you remember?"

Hou Fangyu said again: "Do you still remember what was written on it?"

Maoxiang said: "Please go to him for promotion and fortune. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter the door."

"So, do you still believe Chongzhen's nonsense?" Hou Fangyu clapped his hands and said, "How long has it been since he founded the Scholars Camp? Then came Yan Yingyuan and other greedy and despicable people. The so-called promotion and fortune, please go to him , greedy for life and afraid of death, don't get into the door, it's just nonsense, Chongzhen himself didn't take him seriously, but you did?"

After a pause, he said again: "Brother Pijiang, admit it, the Ming Dynasty is hopeless."

Mao Xiang's head drooped, this time he did not argue with Hou Fangyu.

Hou Fangyu was overjoyed, and then said: "If Chongzhen was really a promising monarch, the Ming Dynasty would not be reduced to what it is today, even the capital is lost! So brother Pijiang, wake up, Daming is hopeless. You will not get good results if you follow Chongzhen, a faint and tyrant, and it is already the general trend for the Qing Dynasty to replace the Ming Dynasty."

Mao Xiang was finally persuaded, and said, "Let me think again."

"What else are you thinking about?" Hou Fangyu hit the railway while it was hot, "Don't miss this opportunity, and you will never come back!"

After a pause, he said again: "Brother Pijiang, if you submit to the Qing Dynasty at this time, you are still a meritorious minister, but if you wait for Prince Yu's army to return and take down Shanyang City, then you will be punished. Not to mention being a first-class duke, whether you can save your little life is another matter, so don't hesitate to make a decision as soon as possible."

"But..." Mao Xiang was a little moved and hesitant.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Hou Fangyu said, "If a real man decides to stop, he will stop!"

"Okay!" Mao Xiang finally made up his mind, "Yan insulted me too much. I don't do anything else, just to fight for this tone. Brother Chaozong, please tell King Yu that Shanyang City is broken. Afterwards, please be sure to leave the person surnamed Yan to me to deal with, I will definitely kill this dog, otherwise it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart."

"Success." Hou Fangyu was overjoyed when he heard the words.

……

At this time, the governor of Hecao was in the palace.

After hearing Yan Yingyuan's entire plan, Fan Zhongjie and Zhi Tingjian were speechless for a while.

As far as the entire dead time plan is concerned, it can be said that there is no leak. At least Fan Zhongjie and Zhi Tingjian can't see any flaws. If they were Duoduo, they would definitely fall into the trap.

That's the price, it's too big.

According to this burning method, the entire west city will be burned.

Fan Zhongjie sighed and asked, "Is there no other way?"

"This is the only way." Yan Yingyuan said solemnly, "Master Fu, I don't want the child to be trapped by wolves. As long as Duoduo and his army of [-] slaves can be burned down, it will be worth paying for a city."

"It's worth it." Fan Zhongjie nodded and asked again, "How will you get out then?"

Yan Yingyuan said: "After Duoduo and Jiannu's army entered the west city, brother Pijiang will take the initiative to invite Ying, and lead his subordinates to bravely cross the canal to attack the east city. Yong just took the opportunity to get away, Fu Zun and elder brother only need to pay attention to identifying the slave spies who sneaked into Xiangyong."
