Chongzhen Undergraduates

Therefore, Zhu Youjian also took this opportunity to save many people in the capital who were oppressed by the Chuangjun.Gradually, the matter of accepting craftsmen became smoother and smoother. Many craftsmen took the initiative to seek refuge in Zhu Youjian's army station, and Zhu Youjian naturally refused all comers.There was really no room for arrangements in the workshop, so Zhu Youjian had to temporarily form a new thousand-man team, but the combat effectiveness of this team was much weaker. Fortunately, Wang Chengen had enough money to give every soldier Equipped with armor, it can still be done.

"I heard that all of your soldiers have horses and armor?" After all, Liu Zongmin couldn't hide the secrets in the army. In a few days, Liu Zongmin specifically talked to Zhu Youjian.Obviously, Chuangjun's tolerance for the troops below was not as free as it appeared on the surface.

"My soldiers are all recruited by the capital. Maybe their family background is a little bit thicker, so they are better equipped." Zhu Youjian's scalp was frightened. Chuangjun's distrust of newcomers like himself made him feel dangerous exist.If this is really exposed, it's really not enough to see with this little man in his hand.

You know, Chuangjun claims to have 40 people in the capital. According to Zhu Youjian's observation, 40 is a lie, but there are more than 20.

"King Chuang has issued an order for you to mint silver as soon as possible. Don't re-cast all the gold and silver for the time being, just cast the scattered gold and silver that you have collected." Liu Zongmin seemed a little eager, and his words seemed a little impatient.

"Why?" Zhu Youjian felt that things might have changed.

"Is this what you should ask?" Liu Zongmin was obviously upset: "I forgot to say, Ms. Chen hasn't seen you for several days, and she said she wants to eat the steak you made, so follow me." Go to the backyard of the Wu Mansion.

Zhu Youjian did not see Chen Yuanyuan for a few days, and he was worried about her, not knowing how she was doing recently, especially worried about whether Liu Zongmin was bullying her.This Liu Zongmin put a lot of capital on Chen Yuanyuan, but Chen Yuanyuan never let him succeed.A man treats a woman so well, but this woman keeps making him eat hollow radishes, how strange it is.I'm afraid Liu Zongmin is not a person who likes to play small ambiguities for a long time. Once this kind of situation encounters any external force, I'm afraid something will happen.

Chapter 15: King Chuang's Fox Tail

When Zhu Youjian and Liu Zongmin arrived in the backyard, they had no idea that Li Zicheng and his group were actually in the backyard.

Chen Yuanyuan is sitting next to the door with a pipa in his arms, Li Zicheng is sitting in the center, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are sitting on the left, and Li Yan is sitting on the right.Li Zicheng's eyes were fixed on Chen Yuanyuan, and his eyes didn't move much.On the other hand, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance were half smiling, half whispering to each other, with an expression that you understand me and everyone understands.Only Li Yan showed a little anger, hesitated to speak a few times, and looked anxious.

"Brother, why are you here?" Liu Zongmin looked flustered, rushed into the flower hall in two or three steps, stood in front of Chen Yuanyuan, and saluted Li Zicheng.This was the first time Zhu Youjian saw Liu Zongmin salute Li Zicheng. Before that, Liu Zongmin had a bad temper and refused to let anyone, including Li Zicheng, always go straight and be rude.

"Oh, I came to you with them, just to hear Miss Chen sing a ditty." Li Zicheng was watching with enthusiasm, when suddenly there was such an annoying person in front of him, and he was about to get angry, when he looked up, it was Liu Zongmin. Had to answer indiscriminately.

"General Quan, King Chuang and us are mainly afraid that you will be seduced by a goblin, so we came to see you specially." Niu Jinxing joked: "I didn't expect that General Quan, you would not see King Chuang all day long, but it turns out that you are hiding here in the Golden House." Jiao, how can such a good pipa melody be enjoyed by myself? Am I right?"

Hearing Niu Jinxing's words, Liu Zongmin could only smile awkwardly. Don't look at Niu Jinxing as just a charlatan fortune-telling liar, but this person has one thing, that is, he can always read Li Zicheng's mind every time.And he was very accurate every time. This kind of ability may be a unique skill that he has learned in the world. Therefore, Niu Jinxing became the prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty.

"Yes, yes, let us all have the honor to listen to it!" Song Xiance, who is also a wanderer, is completely inferior. Just as a soldier.

This can be discerned from the words of the two of them. What Niu Jinxing means is that you Liu Zongmin hid such a beautiful woman, but you didn't show it to King Chuang first, which is disrespectful to King Chuang.And Song Xiance means that if there are beauties, let's take a look together.Obviously, Niu Jinxing's words reached Li Zicheng's heart.

"King Chuang, Wu Sangui surrendered a few days ago and returned to rebellion. Yesterday, Tang Tong's troops attacked Shanhaiguan and lost troops, nearly annihilating the entire army. At this time, we should release Wu Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan, and immediately make peace with Wu Sangui, and win the victory of the Shanhaiguan defenders." Surrender is."

"Crack!" Niu Jinxing slapped the table and said, "How can a mere Shanhaiguan guard fight against our Dashun Heavenly Army? Wu Sangui has less than [-] Guanning Army. How can he compete with me?" Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against? If he doesn't surrender again, my hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers will destroy him immediately."

"However, although Wu Sangui has only 10 Guanning troops, the Ming army in the entire Ningyuan defense line has nearly [-] people." Li Yan did not believe that Li Zicheng would not pay attention to such clear enemy intelligence.

"So what? We fought all the way, and the Ming army surrendered less? Didn't the Dashun army obediently surrender the city when they saw our Dashun army?" Song Xiance dismissed Li Yan's words even more, and helped Niu Jinxing Attack Li Yan.

"Brother Zong Min, I'm going to have a big banquet in the palace tomorrow, and I'm planning to invite Miss Chen to come in and play a song. Miss Chen plays the pipa so well, it just makes me look good." Li Zicheng didn't bother to listen to Li Yan's advice, His attention is now on Chen Yuanyuan.

"No way, brother, I'm getting engaged to Chen Yuanyuan, and I'm planning to ask my brother to set a good date for our marriage."

"What?" Everyone's eyes widened, not believing their ears.

Even Chen Yuanyuan looked unbelievable, engaged, when did I agree to marry you?

"Yuanyuan, you see we have known each other for so many days, you must know what I think about you. I just want to marry you and go back to my hometown in Shaanxi together." Liu Zongmin officially confessed his love to Chen Yuanyuan with an infatuated face.

Chen Yuanyuan was so angry that she said to herself: I don't want to stay in Beijing, so the ghost would go with you to that poor place in Shaanxi.

When Li Zicheng heard Liu Zongmin say that he was going to marry Chen Yuanyuan, he twisted his buttocks from side to side in a panic, turning left for a while, right for a while, as if he was always looking for something to say.

"Brother Zong Min, look. You are a general now, and the matter of getting married can't be simple. It's so beautiful, it's enough pomp. Besides, Miss Chen is so beautiful, don't be wronged." Don't miss her. You can't be hasty about your marriage, let's make more preparations, and it won't be too late to do it after a while." Niu Jinxing has a lot of ghost ideas, and they hit Li Zicheng's heart all at once.

"That's right, that's right. Brother, you must not be hasty with such an important matter as marriage. After a few days, I will personally make the decision for you." Li Zicheng followed Niu Jinxing's words and delayed.

"Since the eldest brother has spoken, I, Liu Zongmin, will listen to you. Since everyone is here today, how about I let you taste the delicious steak made by my cook?" Liu Zongmin, who seemed straightforward in front of these old foxes, was like this I believed Li Zicheng's words.

"Good!" Li Zicheng took the lead in cheering.Thought he could look at Chen Yuanyuan a few more times again!

Since he wanted to eat steak, of course Zhu Youjian had to cook in person again. When the topic came up, Zhu Youjian had to go down alone to prepare the ingredients so that he could cook for this group of people on the spot.Zhu Youjian left, and the topic in the flower hall continued.

"King Chuang, we have to guard against Wu Sangui. I still think it's better to return Wu Xiang and Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui." Li Yan didn't give up, and continued: "In addition, some of the behaviors of our army in the city recently are somewhat inappropriate. Be careful, and emphasize the issue of military discipline, otherwise the consequences may be unpredictable."

"What do you mean?" Li Zicheng got angry, pointed at Li Yan and said, "You betrayed our own brother for Wu Sangui? Why is Chen Yuanyuan his Wu Sangui's man? Could it be that we are also wrong in attacking those corrupt officials in the city? ?”

"That's right. I think some people are a little tempted to hear the artifact of the Eighteen Sons." This ballad was compiled by Song Xiance, and it is also the sentence that Li Zicheng is most satisfied with.Li Zicheng felt that his destiny belonged to him, and he has always been very confident.

Song Xiance's words directly touched Li Zicheng's Ni Lin.Li Zicheng thought, it really is.Although my surname, Li Zicheng, is Li, Li Yan is also surnamed Li. Li Yan belongs to this Chuangjun army.If I don't get rid of him, what if the destiny really comes to him?

"You, you are talking nonsense." Li Yan was very angry, he never thought that this group of people would be so despicable, and they would use dirty tricks to deal with him.

At this moment, Niu Jinxing took a look at King Chuang and flirted with King Chuang.

"I drank too much tea, I'm going to urinate." Li Zicheng naturally understood Prime Minister Niu's subtext, pretended to pee, got up and walked out.Naturally, Niu Jinxing also followed out in a panic.

The two went outside the house, found a slightly secluded place, and whispered to each other.Zhu Youjian happened to be holding the prepared tools. Passing by, he saw that Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing were discussing something furtively, so he dodged and hid in the corner to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"King Chuang, it seems that Li Yan can't stay. You see, he's against you everywhere now. If he really turns against you, we will suffer a lot." Li Yan under the black hands.

"Hmph! Get rid of him sooner or later. Only he keeps trying to give Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui. Is this my brother's wife, right? How can I give away my brother's wife?" Li Zicheng is still preparing to sacrifice Chen Yuanyuan for Li Yan The matter of repaying Wu Sangui is still in my heart, such a beautiful brother and daughter-in-law can't be given to others, but can only be left to my eldest brother and me.

"Chuang Wang, do you think this is good? Let Li Yan escort a batch of gold, silver and jewelry back to Xi'an first, and only give him [-] soldiers and horses. We will send someone to kill him when we are halfway. After all, he still has meritorious service before. , Killing them directly would have chilled the hearts of the soldiers, so they simply killed them on the way, saying that they were killed by the Ming army."

"Okay, let's do it like this?! What about Liu Zongmin's marriage?" Li Zicheng still couldn't forget about Chen Yuanyuan.

"Let Liu Zongmin lead the troops to Shanhaiguan to fight Wu Sangui in a few days, then King Chuang can send someone to take Chen Yuanyuan into the palace and let her sing for you for a few nights." Niu Jinxing is already mature, and he has thought about this for a long time. Good idea.And this idea directly hit Li Zicheng's heart.

"Very good, very good. I just asked Chen Yuanyuan to sing a ditty in the palace for a few nights. There is no other meaning. Don't think too much about it!" The shameless Li Zicheng was still using shameless words to post to himself at this time. gold.

When Zhu Youjian heard that these two shameless guys were plotting against Chen Yuanyuan and Li Yan, he directly overturned his three views in two lifetimes.

This Li Zicheng's fox tail is really coquettish, it is exposed in broad daylight.

Li Zicheng returned to the flower hall satisfied, but Liu Zongmin poured wine for Li Zicheng without knowing it.And Niu Jinxing, who cheated Li Yan, put on a toast to Li Yan, and asked Li Yan's wife, Hong Niangzi, about her injury with a kind and caring face.Song Xiance shamelessly wanted to talk to Chen Yuanyuan, but the topic was actually wanting to talk to Chen Yuanyuan about how to talk about the pipa well.

Zhu Youjian remained silent, wondering whether he should save Li Yan or not.It is said that Li Yan is Chongzhen's enemy, and he should not be rescued because of Chongzhen's body.After all, this is a strife within the Chuang army. As a hostile camp, Zhu Youjian wished they could fight each other.But Li Yan's vision and talent cannot but make Zhu Youjian tempted.

I used to discuss the importance of talent with Wang Chengen, but now that talent is in front of me, should I just let it go like this?

Regardless of Li Yan, how can Chen Yuanyuan's level be saved?Li Zicheng wanted to kidnap Chen Yuanyuan into the palace, did he let himself go to the palace again?

"Hey, is the steak ready? King Chuang is waiting to eat." Zhu Youjian was awakened by Liu Zongmin's urging, and Zhu Youjian quickly turned over the steaks on the grill one by one, and almost burned the steaks just now.

"Hey, isn't this barbecue guy the masked general who is good at casting silver?" Li Yan remembered that this person seemed a little familiar.

"Yes, it's the chef who got 30 taels of silver from Zhou Kui's house. He used to be a cook. In order to save Chen Yuanyuan, he burned his face, so he wore a mask." Liu Zongmin introduced Zhu Youjian to the audience. several of them.

"Well, this meat is roasted well, not too old or tender, much better than the cooks in my palace." Li Zicheng is very satisfied with Zhu Youjian's barbecue skills: "You will also go to the palace in a few days and cook me a few meals. food."

Li Zicheng made a slip of the tongue all of a sudden, and Niu Jinxing was so shocked that he dropped all the beef stuffed into his mouth, but Liu Zongmin, a fool, didn't hear the implication, and was still immersed in dealing with a large piece of meat on the plate.Li Yan frowned upon hearing this, and his anxious expression became a little more serious.

Chapter No.16: Second Rescue Chen Yuanyuan

Li Yan led 1 men to escort the first batch of 2000 million taels of silver and set off to the west.
