Chapter 55 Li Chengdong
Zhang Yan felt that Liu Yongxi's question was very difficult to answer. Although Emperor Chongzhen was stubborn and suspicious, he was frugal, but he was diligent. The situation in the Ming Dynasty today was not entirely the responsibility of the king alone. But before she thought about how to answer, Liu Yongxi asked another question: "Sister Yan thinks that among the royal family of this dynasty, is there any better than the king?"
Zhang Yan immediately understood: "This is why Xiaoxi asked me to move to the palace?"
Although Zhang Yan can easily identify many of the shortcomings and problems of King Xin, she has to admit that King Xin was definitely a short-lived general in the Ming Dynasty. It is already the most wise and magical anomaly. There are too many clans who are incompetent, and these completely incompetent clans will probably become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
If the wise king ascended the throne after the southward transition, Zhang Yan naturally did not have to expect to move to Zhejiang or take the position of governor, let alone the sun and the moon. Her disadvantages in this regard were too obvious. As Liu Yongxi said, the Ming Dynasty did not even have an example of the empress dowager's reign, let alone the queen's reign.
But if the ascended throne was a real foolish monarch, she would be angry and moved to Zhejiang and received the support of Liu Yongxi's powerful troops, and the situation would be completely different. Liu Yongxi thought of this possibility: "The king is young and the country is suspicious, the ministers have not attached it, and the people do not believe it. At this time, will it belong to the son? Will it belong to me?"
Zhang Yan knew that Liu Yongxi's words were from the "Biography of Wu Qi" in Records of the Grand Historian, and she also felt that Liu Yongxi's plan might not be really successful, but it is only possible to operate it in this way if the sun and the moon are suspended. Moreover, she was willing to do it according to Liu Yongxi's wishes: "Sister Yan listens to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi..."
She was about to say a few love words to Liu Yongxi, and there were already roars of iron hooves in the south. Then countless battle flags and armored soldiers appeared in the sight of Liu Yongxi and Queen Zhang. Liu Yongxi looked at the lineup and knew that it was Gao Jie's main force who rushed back and forth to help: "Sister Yan, don't worry, let's have a meal first. Even if Gao Yingwu comes, let him wait outside!
However, before Liu Yongxi finished the meal, Shi Chaoli rushed over to report the latest information: "Empress, uncle, it was Gao Yingwu who sent a thousand elite cavalry and three thousand infantry soldiers to rescue Mrs. Xing's old camp. This is awesome!"
Liu Kongxi felt that the so-called "one thousand elite cavalry and three thousand infantry" might be a little exaggerated, but after this reinforcement, Liu Zeqing probably couldn't find any opportunity, so he immediately asked: "General Zhao, Lord Tong and others are negotiating with Mrs. Xing, are they suffering from losses!"
Shi Chaoli's face was full of smiles: "Fortunately, the Empress and the Uncle came back for dinner. Mrs. Xing and Xing Shengping wanted to take advantage of us while the Empress was not here, and we couldn't care too much about them, but now the spoils that should be obtained have been obtained. I'm afraid Mrs. Xing will not have a good sleep tonight!"
Neither Mrs. Xing nor Xing Shengping expected Gao Jie's reinforcements to come so quickly, so during the negotiation process, he took the mentality of taking advantage of small gains. Chengyi Bo Mansion suffered a lot of losses because Liu Yongxi was not present, but overall, it was still a share of 46% and sometimes even a share of 45% to 55%. Now looking back, not only did he not suffer losses but took advantage of them.
If Mrs. Xing and Xing Shengping knew that Gao Jie's reinforcements were coming so quickly, I'm afraid that Chengyi Bo Mansion would have no chance to ask for a 30% 7% 7% 7% 7, which would give Liu Yongxi enough face. Now that Liu Yongxi has eaten all the spoils, he naturally can't spit it out.
Queen Zhang asked casually: "Are Gao Yingwu here?"
Shi Chaoli had already found out clearly: "Master Gao did not come, the leading general was named Li Chengdong, and he seemed to be unfamous!"
Shi Chaoli was quite disdainful when he talked about the name "Li Chengdong". After all, this was not a particularly famous general, but Liu Yongxi was shocked: "Li Chengdong? Because he has no fame, he must be careful! Empress, I'll prepare now!"
The name Li Chengdong is so famous, and the reinforcements he brought are said to have 1,000 elite cavalry and 3,000 infantrymen. Even if he is in half, there are 500 cavalry and 1,500 infantrymen. It is not something that Chengyi Bo Mansion can deal with.
What's more, the battle between Chengyi Bo Mansion is of course very brilliant, but the losses are also very large. Before the meal, there were a preliminary statistics that at least forty or fifty people were killed or injured and fled. If they encountered such a huge loss when leaving the capital, they might be the dream of crossing the south.
Fortunately, he first wiped out the horse team sent by Li Zicheng to pursue the team in Cangzhou to train. He recruited a large number of new recruits in Shandong, so he could barely bear such shocking casualties, but it was still more serious than injury. If Li Chengdong had a nightly raid at this time, he might have killed Liu Yongxi.
Therefore, Liu Yongxi immediately summoned several core backbones and directly posed as Queen Zhang: "Li Chengdong is not a good person. The Empress just told me to quickly replenish the troops. The captives captured this time were dispersed and replenished immediately. We must try our best to use the power of Shandong soldiers!"
He also knew that today's prisoners belonged to Liu Zeqing's troops. Not only were they very diverse, but most of them were mobs. It was definitely not a good plan to directly supplement the troops without training. However, the situation is too urgent now, and Liu Yongxi even had to borrow the power of Shandong soldiers.
After all, Liu Zeqing is the general of Shandong, and most of his subordinates are from Shandong. Since entering Shandong, many Shandong righteous men have resolutely come to surrender. Now Liu Yongxi is ready to fully mobilize the power of these Shandong soldiers, but Tong Yili is already anxious: "My uncle, think twice before doing this. These mobs do not know the righteousness. They have to join the various departments and can only lead the team!"
Speaking of this, he quickly volunteered: "Mr. Xiao. Give me a day. I will preach the righteousness to them and promise them to know what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are!"
Tong Yili was really anxious. He originally hoped to use these prisoners to enrich his strength. This trip to the south allowed him to learn an extremely valuable experience, that is, a thousand ways to do ten thousand are not as effective as the strength in his hands. Today, his family guards helped a lot, and today his family guards were in great harm and urgently needed supplements. No one expected that Liu Yongxi would "borrow the power of Shandong soldiers" as soon as he spoke.
Liu Yongxi also felt that his decision was a bit rogue. He thought for a while and said, "I'll go over and negotiate with Mrs. Xing first, but everyone should hurry up and try their best now!"
