Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 47
  Wu Sangui and Ding Wang exchanged words, allowing Wu Sangui, who has read countless people, to define Ding Wang, and he saw where the real hope lies.

Chongzhen observed Wu Sangui's thoughts and directly showed off his cards to Wu Sangui: "Although Dingwang fought and defeated the rogue bandits in South Zhili, this did not actually solve the situation of the Ming Dynasty. Now, Henan is still being controlled by Li Guo Occupied and blocked our south. Shandong was occupied by Li Chuang's fierce bandit Liu Fangliang, cutting us off from the south. To the west, Li Chuang's million-strong army was still covered by dark clouds, and the situation was not optimistic. To the east, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were watching eagerly. If you peep at any time, you may take advantage of the opportunity; to the north, Li Chuang's fierce bandit Yuan Zongdi has captured Xuanda and is approaching the Great Wall. Now, we are besieged on all sides, and what we can control is such a palm-sized place. The situation remains the same Extremely grim.”

Give up arrogance and face reality, this is Chongzhen and Lu Mou at this time.

At this time, the father and son cannot "hide into a small building and become one, and care about winter, summer, spring and autumn."

If that happens, a small gust of wind will blow the small building down. It's better to stay outside and keep reinforcing this small building. At least, when the building collapses, you can still run without being crushed to death.

After hearing the introduction of the situation, Wu Sangui asked cautiously: "The emperor has no intention of hunting south?"

This needs to be asked clearly. Once Chongzhen sees that the situation here is not good and runs south to Nanjing with a bucket, then he will have to make a new choice.

Although Chongzhen, who was obsessed with saving face, did not express his position clearly on this matter, he once encouraged a minister to raise it. At that time, he hinted to the minister that as long as he raised it in the court, he would half-heartedly agree, and then everyone moved away. road.

In the end, the minister understood that Chongzhen was letting himself take the blame. The old British prince, Yuan Chonghuan, the unlucky man Chen Xinjia, and three of the fifty-two chief ministers had all taken the blame for Chongzhen. , the tragic outcome is obvious to all.

I will definitely not take this pot away. As a result, Chongzhen failed to escape and was embarrassed here.

This time, I come back and intend to help you, but you can't go to Nanjing. This is the premise and this is my bottom line. I absolutely cannot go to Nanjing with you and your son.

The reasons why Wu Sangui will never go to Nanjing are, first of all, the second imperial court in Nanjing is Donglin's old home. He is really afraid of those people. If it hadn't been for those bastards who only talked and regarded military generals as pigs and dogs, how could the Ming Dynasty be on the verge of destruction.

Another point is that southerners are second to northerners in clinging to groups. If you go there by yourself, you will definitely be ranked in the rankings, and eventually you will be kicked out of the court, with no fate.

When he asked this question, he was looking at King Ding. His meaning was obvious, he wanted to hear King Ding's attitude.

As for the inexplicable reason for wanting to hear a child's statement, it may be a subconscious thing at work.

At this time, he did not feel that in this huge palace, more than a hundred ministers wanted to hear the exact answer to this question just like him. They all couldn't help but look at King Ding. This is the effect of what King Ding has done for such a long time.

Chongzhen also looked at Lu Mou, preparing to ask his son to answer the officials.

Lu Mou said firmly: "The country of our ancestors was built with iron and blood. The crisis at this time must also be saved with iron and blood. Running away will not solve the problem. Not to mention that my father firmly abides by the ancestral precepts, and the emperor guards the country. , the king's determination to die for the country. It means that the mountains and rivers are broken. Since ancient times, only the north has unified the south, and there has been no south to unify the north. As long as the various courts in the Central Plains retreated to the south, they could only stay in peace. If they wanted to clean up the old mountains and rivers in the north, they would never Don't think about it. For this reason, in order to maintain the unification of the Ming Dynasty, our father and son would rather destroy the city and destroy the family than retreat to the south of the Yangtze River."

King Ding's words were so reasonable and well-founded that all the ministers applauded and immediately strengthened everyone's hearts.

Wu Sangui stood up and raised his glass to Chongzhen and King Ding: "In this way, the north has fallen, I dare not live and fight to the death to serve the country." Then he drank it up heroically.

The ministers stood up and said in unison: "If the north falls, I will not dare to live and fight to the death to serve the country." So, everyone drank it generously, and their eyes shone with determination.

From then on, no one mentioned the crossing to the south.

Chongzhen stood up, silently raised his wine glass with his son, faced the officials together, and drank it all in one gulp. Chongzhen's pale face was flushed. It was unknown whether it was because of the wine, excitement, or maybe he was moved by the ministers.

After sitting down, Chongzhen faced Wu Sangui again: "I am determined to defend the country. When I love you, I will work hard for you and lead the troops to Badaling and Juyongguan. First block the rogue bandits in the north and help me in Dingwang. Next, we must first adjust and stabilize the foundation of Zhili, accumulate strength and buy time."

When Wu Sangui heard this, he was just asked to guard the Inner Great Wall, and the task was not that heavy.

Guan Ning's cavalry has been living in western Liaoning for decades. He has not developed the characteristics of a cavalry that can gallop thousands of miles like a tiger, but he has mastered the skills of a turtle defending a city.

I dare not go to war, but I can defend the city. So, he looked at King Ding again.

This was somewhat overshadowing the emperor, but Chongzhen did not show anger, but had a matter-of-fact attitude.

Lu Mou said: "Uncle, I am out of town. Don't worry. I will definitely guarantee that your army will have enough money and food."

In his father Wu Xiang's letters, he has mentioned the young prince's ability to manage money many times. With his guarantee, I should have nothing to worry about.

If you have money, food, and your own proficient turtle technique, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

So he stood up and saluted: "Prince Ding will guarantee my logistics, money and food, and I will guarantee that the bandits cannot cross the Inner Great Wall even half a step."

Chongzhen picked up the wine glass excitedly: "In this way, I will entrust the north to Aiqing. Aiqing, don't worry, I will replenish the number of men and horses you lose in this battle."

Such actions and words could not help but move Wu Sangui. And Chongzhen's promise made Wu Sangui feel more at ease. This seems to indicate that Chongzhen did not take the opportunity to deprive himself of military power.

So he also picked up the wine glass and promised Chongzhen: "I will be shattered into pieces to fulfill your destiny."

A banquet ended happily.

After you have completely conquered Wu Sangui and his Guan Ning, you must ensure his logistics, otherwise those arrogant and powerful generals may cause trouble for you.

During this time, Lu Mou finally understood that the level of loyalty and combat effectiveness is determined by the amount of money you give.

If you don’t have money, don’t mention that to them.

For this reason, Lu Mou hurried to the mint behind and asked Sun Bin, the temporary director of the East Factory, how much money he still had.

You must have money in your hands and no panic in your heart. Be sure to use the richest silver dollars to purchase the greatest degree of loyalty and combat effectiveness.
