Chapter 9 Little girl is talking nonsense, really nonsense?
Chapter 9: The little girl is talking nonsense, is she talking nonsense? ()
Nowadays, the population in the village has surged, mostly refugees who fled from the north. As for what these foreign populations do, no one is sure of it, and the problem is finally put in front of Li Si.
In order to strengthen its strength in the shortest time, Li Si racked his brains to find a way, and after one novel idea after another, it added a shortcut to make a fortune.
A few days ago, I heard a refugee coming from the north saying that Li Zicheng once again arrived in Henan and threatened to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty officials and troops. This news made Li Si feel the urgency of time more and more.
I had known that the peasant army was in Henan for a long time and had always thought that Li Chuang himself was also in Henan. Now I realized that Li Zicheng had been wandering around in Henan for a long time, and after going south to Huguang, he went to a big circle and returned to his hometown in Shaanxi.
It is said that Li Zicheng's return to Shaanxi was a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, but Emperor Chongzhen was eager to eliminate the rebels and ordered the governor of Shaanxi Sun Chuanting to mobilize the main force to find the main force of the rebels to fight to the decisive battle, in order to "capture and annihilate the entire thief army in one net."
Li Chuang's general situation has been achieved, so how can it be wiped out overnight? What's more, Sun Chuanting's army is one of the three main forces of the Ming Dynasty. If it is stationed, it will not only make the rebel army worry about whether it goes north or south, but also mainly intercepting Jiannu in the north.
The rebel army is now divided into two parts, in Shaanxi and Henan. What’s interesting is that both of these rebel army hold high the banner of the rebel king, which is obviously a trick to lure the enemy.
Li Si didn't have to think about which trespasser army was Li Zicheng's main force. History was clearly placed there. No matter how Sun Chuanting did, he could not stop Li Zicheng's sweeping.
The key to the problem is time. Li Chuang destroyed Ming was a foregone conclusion. The key is how much time there is to perish the Ming Dynasty and how much time does Jiannu have to enter the pass? Whether he can develop enough strength before Jiannu's butcher's knife fell was the most concerned about Li Si.
There are three main forces of the Ming army. One is the Liaodong Army. This army cannot move at all if it wants to prevent Jiannu; the other is Zuo Liangyu's army. However, Zuo Liangyu is very domineering and it is difficult for the court to mobilize, not to mention that he was just beaten by Li Zicheng.
Sun Chuanting's troops were already the last main force that the Ming Dynasty could take. When the decisive battle was fought, the days of the Ming Dynasty could only be calculated by heaven.
Whenever Li Si thinks of this, he feels unprecedented pressure, and the imminent sense of crisis is as heavy as Mount Tai.
This is an era without hope. The Ming Dynasty has reached the verge of collapse. No matter what kind of miracle it occurs, it is impossible to save its inevitable destruction. Li Chuang and his Dashun are not much better than Zhu Ming. After crazy destruction, they disappear like a flash of cereal. As for the Nanming, which is surviving... they are basically a waste.
"In more than half a year, Li Chuang will break through Beijing, and then the world of blood and fire is turned upside down... I have done my best, but the strength I have developed is only the dozens of people from the Village Guard Team." Will the village guard team's staff play a role in the near future? Li Si himself is also doubting this.
After all, the villagers are villagers, and the nation has realized that they have not awakened. Even if there are enough personnel now, it is impossible to train an army that is enough to match Jiannu. There is no time left.
Seeing Li Si frowning, Lu Jian lowered his voice and said, "Is the Fourth Uncle thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty? I have been thinking about what the Fourth Uncle once said to me. Now it seems that the Ming Dynasty is really not good. Li Chuang seems to have a bit of a domineering spirit..."
"Li Chuang..." Li Si snorted disdainfully, and didn't want to say too much. He simply told Lu Jian: "The future will definitely be an unprecedented chaotic world. If you want to survive in this world, you must have force to guarantee it. Now we can't do anything, so we have to save money and grain as much as possible. My colleagues should make the village protection team bigger. Don't worry too much about the government, I think the government will not last long..."
While the two were talking, Lu Bingyin's scolding came from the main hall, and then they heard Ezi crying loudly.
"What? Your father is scolding Ezi? I'll go and have a look."
"It's nothing, I don't have to go and see it." Lu Jian smiled indifferently: "It's nothing big. Even a matchmaker mentioned a marriage to the girl during the day. My father agreed, and Ezi's girl also disagreed. I think that family is good. Ezi's mind was covered by eating too much lard, so she asked my father to slap her a few times. When is the turn of her daughter's family to decide on the major marriage matters?"
"It's a proposal for Ezi, not a proposal for your father, so naturally I want Ezi to make the decision." Ezi is fourteen years old and is at the age of getting married. Although it's a bit unreasonable to say that marriage is free in this era, Li Si has always liked Ezi's well-behaved girl and didn't want to see her marry someone she doesn't like: "I'll go and see, your father is heavy, and then beat Ezi out..."
Seeing Li Si come in, Lu Bingyin is not ashamed to beat his daughter without any shame, and he pulled Li Si over: "I told you that the fourth uncle said, "The marriage in this world has always been the order of the matchmaker by his parents. Your mother and I have responded to the matchmaker. No matter whether you want to or not, it is not your turn to make the decision..."
The girl Ezi's face turned red, and the tears in her eyes kept falling, like pear blossoms with rain and peony smoke. When she saw Li Si, she seemed to see a savior: "My father wants to marry me to an old poor man, and the fourth uncle saves me..."
"Don't cry, I'll ask your father first." Li Si comforted the crying Ezi in a low voice, turned his head to ask Lu Bingyin: "What kind of in-laws did Brother Lu find for Ezi?"
"It's Mr. Wang from the neighboring village. The Wang family is a local gentry. The family has a rich family. The family has a lot of money. The family has servants and servants for their servants. Mr. Wang himself has also studied, but it's not what Ezi said about being poor." Lu Bingyin said: "Mrs. Wang died early, and Ezi could be the leader after marrying her. If the Wang family had looked down on us, a small family, now we have money, so we can buy Ezi's makeup box and marry her in a grand manner..."
"I don't marry, that old poor person is in his forties..."
Mrs. Lu persuaded her daughter with great sincerity: "Mr. Wang is older, but she has studied and her family is not short of money and food. What else can you marry if you don't marry such a good family?"
Ezi said angrily: "I just don't marry that old and ugly guy, and even marry a good person like the fourth uncle who has real skills..."
Once this sentence comes out, it will be silent again.
A needle fell from the main hall that was still loud and long just now.
These things are just family issues that many families would encounter at that time. Li Siben wanted to persuade him, but he didn't expect that Ezi would say such a shocking sentence.
Li Si's face turned red when he was so shameless that he left awkwardly and embarrassedly, neither stayed nor stayed.
Ezi has always regarded Ezi as a child. Ezi also called "Fourth Uncle" and "Fourth Uncle". Although sometimes she was kind and acted, she never had any wicked ideas. For a moment, she really didn't say anything to break the ugly silence. After thinking for a long time, she coughed and covered her embarrassment, and whispered: "It's all my fault that I spoiled you, this girl, said these words without any big or small. If someone knew about it, wouldn't you laugh at me? I'm your fourth uncle..."
"What's the fourth uncle? That old man Wang is more than twice as old as the fourth uncle..."
Li Si was speechless.
Everyone was speechless.
Only the misty dog in the yard barked a few times and then calmed down quickly. Ezi was still looking at Li Si with her eyebrows straight.
"I... I'm very sleepy, so I'm going to bed first. Mrs. Lu said nicely, "Don't beat me again..." I felt that nothing was appropriate for me to say, so I simply found an excuse to quit.
"That, Brother Li, don't mind, this girl Ezi is talking nonsense..." Lu Bingyin didn't know what to say, so he hurriedly covered up his words.
Ezi still shouted unyieldingly: "I didn't say nonsense. Are you much better than taking a poor man from Wang?"
Li Si's face was flushed with shame, and he quickly came out of the room. After staying still, he didn't know what this girl would say.
