Chongzhen Undergraduates

"You're talking nonsense. What is the purpose of the Tartars chasing me from the capital? That's because we have become the emperor, and we are already the ruler of a country. Whoever surrenders can get gold, but I, Li Zicheng, cannot surrender."

God has no eyes!I think that I, Li Zicheng, have spent my whole life fighting, but now I am surrounded on three sides.Forget it!Even the lonely can't break through, let those who can break through.

Jiangbei can't go back for the time being, and we can't go east. We don't have warships, so we can't beat the officers and soldiers.For the present, the only way is to continue going south.You can try it in Hunan and Jiangxi, where there are people, food, and land.

Gu decided to go south in three routes. The first route was led by Liu Fangliang, who went south from Yueyang on the west line; the second route was led by Li Guo, who went to Yangxin on the east route and marched towards Hongdu; Good news. "

When the situation became like this, Li Zicheng's temperament changed completely.He felt that he couldn't break through, and he wanted to rest.Li Zicheng calculated that it would be safer only if the main force left his side and he hid himself in the mountains.

Gao Guiying's women's camp, to put it bluntly, is a family team.She firmly helped Li Zicheng control these people, so that the Chuang army would not be completely disbanded.

"Your Majesty, please rest for a while." Gao Guiying felt more and more that this formerly high-spirited man was a bit decadent recently.

"Bring some wine, I just want to get drunk." Li Zicheng roared, loudly scolding the guards around him.

"Your Majesty, please drink less." Gao Guiying tried her best to persuade Li Zicheng with rare gentleness.

"Don't worry about it." Li Zicheng didn't dare to face his wife, covered his face with loose hair, and drank a few pots of bad wine in one breath, but unfortunately he was not drunk.

"What the hell kind of wine is this? Why is it sour and bitter?" Li Zicheng couldn't get drunk, so he could only vent his anger on the wine jar, kicking the jar over, sulking alone.

After more than half a month of rest and reorganization, the Chuang Department, which had recovered a little bit, was divided into three groups, preparing to manage Hunan and Jiangxi.

Little did he know that Zhu Youjian had already set up a dark situation in Tongshan more than a month ago, waiting for Li Zicheng.As the most effective unit, it has been transferred away by Li Zicheng.

Chapter 194: After the famous family, there is a boy

"Zhang Tongchang, magistrate of Tongshan County and member of Zhongshushe, welcome the princess! Welcome the supervisor."

Tongshan is a small county, located deep in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation and difficult roads, a typical remote mountainous area.However, Tongshan County is clean and tidy, and the people passing by are orderly, showing signs of stability.

A well-proportioned young man with a straight body is leading a group of officials, kneeling at the gate of the city to welcome Princess Changping.

Seeing the county magistrate's upright demeanor, Jiu'er couldn't help but take a second look.

Yuan Jixian was taken aback after hearing this, he didn't expect that the county magistrate was actually a member of Zhongshushe.Although Zhongshusheren is also a seventh rank and belongs to the same level as the county magistrate, it is not easy for a Zhongshusheren to be a county magistrate in this remote place.

"He is?" Yuan Jixian looked at He Tengjiao, quite puzzled.

"This son is the great-grandson of Mr. Zhang Ge. In 13 years after Zhang Ping's rebellion, the emperor personally taught him Zhongshu Sheren. He is a famous family!" He Tengjiao hurriedly introduced it to Jiu'er and Yuan Jixian.

"I see! Since you are the successor of Mr. Zhang, get up and walk with us." Hearing that he is the descendant of Zhang Juzheng, Yuan Jixian immediately paid attention to it.

In the Ming Dynasty, no one knew Zhang Taiyue.The glory of the Wanli Dynasty was all due to Zhang Juzheng's solid foundation.All the civil officials admired him. Zhang Juzheng was also the only civil official in the Ming Dynasty who was awarded the title of Grand Tutor or Grand Master during his lifetime.

In the lobby of the county government, several high-ranking officials were seated, and Zhang Tongchang was standing aside. There were all high-ranking officials here, but there was no place for him, a junior seventh rank.

"Magistrate Zhang, please introduce the situation in Tongshan!" Jiu'er smiled, exchanged glances with Yuan Jixian, then stared at Zhang Tongchang and asked.

Zhang Tongchang wondered how such a young princess could be the leader of an army.Even Yuan Jixian, who is the governor of Huguang, seems to follow her lead.In fact, Zhang Tongchang was not to blame for being confused, it would have surprised everyone.

After Jiu'er arrived in Hunan with Yuan Jixian, she directly summoned the gentry from all over the country as a princess.

The squires are a bunch of plucked iron roosters, they will not be easily manipulated by a teenage girl, even if Yuan Jixian holds the imperial decree, they are not willing to give money easily.

It was obvious that the Ming emperor wanted the people of Hunan to cut their flesh, but he didn't want to give any benefits to him. The landlords and rich people in Hunan had already figured out this kind of thing.

But when it comes to settling accounts, this is Jiu'er's strong point.Crackling abacus, reading all kinds of data.Jiu'er clearly told these people how much money Chuangjun could take from them and how many people they would kill when they came to fight, which directly frightened these iron roosters into pale faces.

These people are not stupid, if only Yuan Jixian came over, I am afraid that this matter will not go too smoothly, at least it will take a few months.

But now the emperor has sent a princess, which can be regarded as a hostage in disguise.With the royal family personally in front, coupled with the fact that they had calculated the gains and losses, Hunan recruited nearly [-] landlords and armed forces to arrive at Tongshan in half a month.

In addition, many are being formed and prepared to serve as backup troops.Of course, this is a nice name to say. In fact, these people don't believe that Li Zicheng will leave Tongshan.From everyone's point of view, if Li Zicheng wanted to attack Hunan, he would go to Yueyang anyway, why would he go to the valley of Tongshan.

But no matter what, whether these ten thousand soldiers are for the princess's face or for the princess's ability, in short, they are all for Jiu'er's name, so she is naturally qualified to be the one to talk.

"Princess Qi, the supervisor, after receiving the order, Tongshan County has organized militias in every village and village. In addition, the county has temporarily recruited [-] young and strong. Once the villages receive the enemy's information, they will immediately report to the army. It was reported by the county government.”

In the small Tongshan County, it is already very good to be able to organize so many people. You must know that it is not a small expense to support hundreds of people temporarily in a county.

Li Zicheng at this time had not yet returned to Wuchang. (Originally, Li Zicheng returned to Xianning from Jiujiang because Wuchang was captured by Jin soldiers.)

"Your Excellency, what do you think about our troops stationing in Xianning?" He Tengjiao said.

"No. The Chuang army is all veterans, and our army has new recruits, and there are only more than [-] people, so we can't defend Xianning. I think it's better to take a rest in Tongshan and train troops. Wait for the opportunity to come out before dispatching. "

In fact, Yuan Jixian did not report much confidence in this battle. If he directly defended Changsha, he still had some confidence. After all, there were still some troops stationed in Hunan.In addition, Changsha is a big city with complete defenses, so it is not easy for an army to attack the city.

But the order Zhu Youjian gave him was to let him run to this area. He really couldn't figure it out.Anyway, the time limit given by Zhu Youjian was two months. It was better to stay in the mountains for two months than to go to Xianning city and be surrounded by Li Zicheng for two months.

"Magistrate Zhang, this governor ordered your county to work together and make sure to arrange the troops brought in. In addition, closely monitor the military situation in the direction of Xianning. As soon as there is news, report back immediately."

"Obey!" Tongshan is the boundary of Hubei, and Yuan Jixian and He Tengjiao are both Zhang Tongchang's superiors, so there is nothing to say about this order.

The county seat is not big, and there are not many large families suitable for living in it. Only the backyard of the county government office is quite spacious, which was directly given to the princess to live in.In order not to disturb the people as much as possible, Yuan Jixian and others all lived in tents in the military camp halfway up the mountain outside the city.

However, a girl always has a lot of troubles, and Zhang Tongchang is the head of a county, so Jiu'er basically depends on him to make arrangements for her life.

"Master Zhang, why is there no female family member in this county government office?" Jiu'er walked into the backyard, curious that he didn't see any family members.

"Reporting to the princess, I haven't married yet." Zhang Tongchang blushed, he was a little shy to be asked such a thing face to face by a girl.

Jiu'er blushed too, and her inadvertent question touched the young man's mind, which was really embarrassing.

Seeing a few clumsy servants cleaning the yard awkwardly, Jiu'er was very depressed.Although she insisted on bringing her own people to practice, her people were not maids of honor after all, and they were not good at serving people.

When I was in Changsha, of course there was no shortage of hospitality from rich families, but it was inconvenient when I came to this single man's place, and it was just inconvenient for a man without a wife.

"Let me do it!" Just as he was embarrassed, a few girls walked in from the door, all dressed up.

Jiu'er took a closer look and found that it was Yang Jing and the people around her.She asked a little strangely, "Why are you here?"

"You think your father is really assured that you will come out alone. Don't blame him, it's not easy for him to be a father." Yang Jing quickly cleaned the house for Jiu'er, and the other girls also did it skillfully.

Compared with Jiu'er's subordinates, these Jianghu women are much more independent.

"You have been secretly protecting me all the way?" Jiu'er understood that Yang Jing was sent by Zhu Youjian to protect him secretly, thinking that she would be disgusted, so she never showed up in Hunan.

"No, we just arrived." Yang Jing let out a panic and smiled.

Jiu'er knew that Yang Jing was out of consideration for her own face, so she didn't say much, after all, she was favored by others.

"Stupid! Why are you still standing? We girls have something to whisper." Yang Jing looked at Zhang Tongchang who was standing at the door dumbfounded, and pushed him out of the door with her mouth open.

In fact, Zhang Tongchang had been staring at Jiu'er all the time, and he didn't know why he had become possessed, completely forgetting about etiquette.After being kicked out of the house, I was still a little out of my mind.

"This son looks good. I think the princess blushed just now. Are you tired?" Yang Jing tried to tease Jiu'er, but she really wanted to have a good relationship with Jiu'er.
