Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 305 Chen Yuanyuan

The person who went to Suzhou to buy the maid was the steward of Li Jing's family, and Li Jing rarely intervened in family affairs, so this steward usually listened to Shen Ying and Zhu Huiyu's orders.

However, this does not mean that the steward dared to lie to Li Jing, after all, Li Jing was the real master of the family.

Cao Wenzhao took advantage of this and ordered the steward not to return to Li's residence for the time being, until after Li Jing saw the girl.

Being frightened by Cao Wenzhao, how dare the steward not listen?I had no choice but to stay temporarily at the place arranged by Cao Wenzhao and wait for news from Cao Wenzhao.

The steward didn't wait long before he received a message from Cao Wenzhao asking him to take the girl to see Li Jing.

The steward didn't dare to be negligent, so he asked the girl to tidy up a bit, and hurried back to Li's residence.

From the bottom of his heart, Li Jing didn't take Cao Wenzhao's words seriously. In Li Jing's mind, there was no other woman in this world who could compare to Shen Ying.

But Li Jing was wrong, when he saw that girl, Li Jing knew he was wrong.

In terms of appearance alone, Shen Ying is indeed not as beautiful as this girl, and it can even be said to be far from it.

If Shen Ying is a landscape, then this girl is a painting, even beyond the scope of a painting.

The quality of scenery is judged by people's eyesight. Some people say that the scenery is beautiful, but some people may disagree.But painting is not the case, because the things drawn will be processed to some extent, trying to reflect the most beautiful things.

It is said that this girl is beyond the scope of painting, because it is really difficult to describe the charm of this girl with a brush.

When he saw this girl, even with Li Jing's concentration, he couldn't help being stunned.

Seeing that Li Jing was just in a daze, and soon recovered, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help admiring him. He stretched out his thumb and said, "Marshal, Lao Cao is convinced by your concentration. To be honest, when Lao Cao saw When I got to this girl, I almost forgot my last name."

Li Jing shook his head lightly, momentarily noncommittal.

After a while, Li Jing asked the girl softly, "What's your name, and where are you from?"

The girl had already seen that Li Jing was the owner of this place. Although she couldn't see Li Jing's status, she returned from Suzhou following Cao Wenzhao's army, so she naturally knew Cao Wenzhao's identity.

At this time, seeing that Cao Wenzhao was so respectful to Li Jing, how could he dare to be negligent, and hurriedly said to Li Jingfu: "My family is from Wujin, Changzhou. My family is Xing, and my name is Yuan. Because of my poor family, I grew up in my aunt's parents. So I follow my uncle's surname Chen."

"Surname Chen? I heard that they bought you, can you tell me what happened?" Li Jing then asked.

When the girl heard the words, she turned to look at the butler, who nodded hastily.

The girl turned around and said: "My uncle was greedy for money and sold my family to Suzhou Liyuan. It happened that the housekeeper went to Suzhou to buy a maid. When the meeting happened, I bought my family back from Liyuan at a high price."

"Suzhou Liyuan? The surname is Chen! It seems to be you. Do you still have a name called Yuanyuan?" Li Jing then asked.

The girl was taken aback, and nodded lightly, wondering how Li Jing knew that she still had this name, and hearing Li Jing's tone, it seemed as if she had heard of her.

The girl guessed well, Li Jing did know who this girl was.

As a modern person, especially a man, I am afraid that everyone knows the woman named Chen Yuanyuan in the late Ming Dynasty.

Basically all men have imagined what Chen Yuanyuan looks like.

Chen Yuanyuan's life can really be regarded as a legend.

Chen Yuanyuan grew up in a poor family, her parents fostered her in her aunt's house, and changed her surname to Chen with her uncle.

Chen Yuanyuan was amazing in the countryside when she was young, and she was also smart, able to comprehend poetry and songs.

This year, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were hit by a drought, and Chen Yuanyuan's uncle put more money than righteousness, so he sold Chen Yuanyuan to Suzhou Liyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan is good at singing and dancing, plus she is as beautiful as a flower, so she was famous in Jiangzuo for a while, and she is one of the eight beauties in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the last years of Chongzhen, Tian Guifei's father went to the south of the Yangtze River for a beauty pageant, and brought Chen Yuanyuan and others back to Beijing to present to Zhu Youjian. Occupy privately.

Later, Wu Sangui met Chen Yuanyuan in Tianfu, fell in love at first sight, and asked him to be his concubine.

Later, Li Zicheng captured Beijing, and Li Zicheng's general Liu Zongmin abducted Chen Yuanyuan (one said that Li Zicheng took it by force).

At that time, Wu Sangui had promised to surrender to Li Zicheng's Dashun Dynasty. When he heard that Chen Yuanyuan had been robbed, he was furious and surrendered to the Qing army immediately. At the same time, he opened Shanhaiguan to let the Qing army enter.

Later generations called Wu Sangui a confidante when he was angry with the crown, and this concubine was Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan was robbed by several men all her life, just like goods, her fate is so pitiful and deplorable.

Thinking about Chen Yuanyuan's life, Li Jing couldn't help feeling pity and love in his heart.

After a while, Li Jing asked, "How old are you this year?"

Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly said: "My family is fourteen this year."

"Only 14 years old, that's still a child!" Li Jing murmured.

After a while, Li Jing turned his head to look at the butler and said, "Take Miss Chen to the back house and hand it over to Madam, and tell Madam not to wrong Miss Chen."

The butler didn't know what Li Jing meant, and didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly winked at Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan saluted Li Jing, and then left with the housekeeper.

When the steward left with Chen Yuanyuan, Cao Wenzhao asked in confusion, "Marshal, have you heard of this girl's name?"

Li Jing waved his hand, he would never explain to Cao Wenzhao that he already knew Chen Yuanyuan's name.

After being silent for a while, Li Jing suddenly said: "Brother Wen Zhao, the emperor is now putting all his energy on the rogues, and Donglu will not miss this opportunity, you must be prepared for Donglu to go south again. "

Cao Wenzhao nodded, pondered for a while and asked, "Will Datong continue to use troops against the Mongolian tribes?"

"Datong's actions against the Mongolian tribes cannot be stopped, but the actions should not be too large. It is only necessary to open up the route to Liaodong." Li Jing said after a while.

"Why don't I go to Datong to command the battle against the Mongolian tribes! I'm afraid Bianjiao won't understand the general's intentions, and the action will be too big." Cao Wenzhao said hastily.

Li Jing shook his head: "Bianjiao acts prudently, so you don't need to worry about it. For the time being, you follow the emperor's order to encircle and suppress the rogues. Just remember one thing, keep three or two big forces, and destroy as many small groups of rogues as you can."

"Don't worry, Marshal, Wen Zhao understands." Cao Wenzhao nodded.

After pondering for a while, Li Jing continued: "Dingguo will not accompany you to encircle and suppress the bandits this time. I have something to ask him to do. You can choose another deputy."

Cao Wenzhao thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Try Zhou Huhu to me. He is now in Zhengzhou, Henan, and I happen to be going to Henan. Let him be."

Li Jing looked at Cao Wenzhao, smiled and nodded.

Cao Wenzhao didn't ask Li Jing why he transferred Li Dingguo, and Li Jing didn't ask why Cao Wenzhao chose Zhou Tiger.

But the thoughts of the two people are already tacit to each other.

Li Jing asked Ma Wu to secretly arrange people to go to Beijing. People who go to Beijing naturally need a commander. Li Jing wanted Li Dingguo to take this position.

However, Cao Wenzhao knew that the capital was no better than other places, and that only one commander was not enough, so he took the initiative to assume the responsibility for the defense north of Zhengzhou and asked Li Jing to transfer the pillars to the capital.

With Ma Wu sitting in the town, let Zhuzi and Li Dingguo assist, no matter what happens in the capital, the capital can handle it.

Even if you can't handle it, you only need to persist for a few days, and Sun Meng's troops in the direction of Dezhou will soon rush to help the capital, and Cao Wenzhao can quickly fill Sun Meng's position.

In fact, Gao Qi is the most suitable for this position, but the layout in the capital cannot be completed in a day or two, there are too many things to prepare, and Gao Qi needs to arrange these things.

In addition, once the capital made a move, Li Jing would naturally go to sit in charge, and Gao Qi would deal with the family affairs.

So Gao Qi couldn't move anyway.

As for Chen Dahu, Liu Erleng and the others, due to their relatively reckless personalities, they are not suitable for sneaking into the capital secretly.

Due to time constraints, Cao Wenzhao only stayed in Pingyang Mansion for two days before leading his troops to Henan.

After arriving in Henan, he cooperated with Zuo Liangyu's department and wiped out several bandits. He stayed in Zhengzhou in the name of recuperation, and then took over the defense task from Zhuzi.

After Zhuzi handed over the defense matters to Cao Wenzhao, he immediately broke up the troops into pieces, and then drove them to the capital in batches in the name of transporting grain.

Li Jing's side was secretly moving, but the Liaodong Houjin side was about to make a big fuss.

After nearly a year of rectification, Huang Taiji finally completed the formation of the Han Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners.

Later, Huang Taiji learned that the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed, that Zhu Youjian had used troops wantonly against the bandits, and that after the fire broke out in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, he felt that the opportunity had come.

This move is actually a preparation for the founding of the country.

The three inner courtyards are: the National History Museum, the Internal Secretary Academy, and the Neihongwen Academy.

Among them, the National History Museum is in charge of annotating the emperor's daily life edicts, collecting imperial writings, official memorials, officials' promotion and promotion, orders of meritorious officials' wives and daughters, letters of neighboring countries, etc.

The Academy of Internal Secretaries is in charge of a yamen memorial, pleadings for defense of grievances, emperor's edicts to various officials, sacrificial offerings to Confucian temples, and so on.

The Neihong Academy of Literature is in charge of annotating the good and evil of the past dynasties, going to the imperial court, serving the princes, teaching the princes, promulgating the system, etc.

The Inner Three Courts are actually the cabinet, and also have the duties of the six ministries.

Sure enough, shortly thereafter, Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor, changed the name of the country from Jin to Daqing, and changed the name of Yuan to Chongde, so that year was the first year of Chongde.

The name of the family was changed to Manchu, the capital was set in Shenyang, and the honorary title was Emperor Kuanwen Rensheng.

Afterwards, Huang Taiji led hundreds of officials to offer sacrifices to the Taimiao, honoring Nurhachi as the "emperor who inherits the heaven, Guangyun, holiness, virtue and gods, and established the extremely benevolent and filial piety emperor".

Ten days later, Qing Taizong Huang Taiji appointed his subjects.

His brothers, nephews, Baylor from Mongolia, and Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were all crowned kings.
