The eldest eunuch has been in Ningyuan for nearly a month. He has never called Zu Dashou back to Ningyuan to meet him, nor has he come to Tashan Castle to see him. According to his subordinates, the eunuch eats, drinks, has fun and fights in Ningyuan day and night. They all say that he is different from other eunuchs.
, why do I feel that those eunuchs who supervise the army are more unprofessional than those in previous years, and they are just fooling around.
Zu Dashou could only smile indifferently after hearing this, and sighed in his heart, if the Ming Dynasty really had a few more eunuchs who were fooling around, maybe they wouldn't be struggling like this now, and they would have to be more vigorous.
He didn't have a deep friendship with Chang Yu, and they didn't interact much, but they knew each other heart to heart. He certainly knew the eunuch's abilities and his personality. If nothing else, he could change himself.
After he came back and resumed his duties for more than a year, he never interfered in anything about Ning Yuan. He never asked or said a word. He was always there to take care of anything. This was enough to make him admire him greatly, not to mention Chang Yu's military skills.
Able!
This is what is called heroes cherishing each other.
No one is perfect, everyone has his own shortcomings and things that make people criticize him. The great eunuch has ten thousand shortcomings, and there are hundreds of thousands of people saying bad things about him behind his back, but he is loyal and courageous and outstanding.
No one criticized his military talents, and this was what attracted Zu Dashou and impressed him.
What's more, being able to make Gao Jie, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and other big bosses obey him shows that he has very high attainments in the art of controlling people and also has extraordinary personality charm.
Otherwise, how could he let these thorns look at him differently?
Chang Yu was coming to Tashan Fort. He did not send anyone to notify Zu Dashou to send troops to greet or protect him. But Zu Dashou still knew about it, but he did not take the initiative to send troops to greet him. He knew that Chang Yu did not need such formalism.
He was so polite, he didn't need anyone's protection, and he even wanted to be ambushed by someone.
Tashan Fort belongs to the front line and is a very dangerous place. In previous years, those eunuchs who supervise the army would definitely not go there, but Zu Dashou knew that this eunuch preferred this place. Everyone knew that this eunuch was fierce and aggressive, and the more dangerous he was, the more dangerous he was.
The more he likes to go wherever he goes, there is no place like Longtan or Tiger's Den that he has not been to in the past few years. The most talked about among the government and the public is the old news that he sneaked into the camp of the rebel army and killed Li Laiheng.
Not to mention his heroic military exploits when he led his troops to conquer the north and south and swept through thousands of armies. His bravery was not inferior to that of any strong general at that time!
But even so, Zu Dashou was still a little worried, because Chang Yu's move was a bit too grand, or rather a bit ostentatious!
Although he did not announce his arrival in Ningyuan widely, it was known to everyone in the government and the public, and the Qing court could not have known it either. He was even ambushed as soon as he left the border, which showed how much the Qing court wanted to kill him!
Zu Dashou can understand Chang Yu's arrogance when he came to Ningyuan, which was to create psychological pressure and panic for Dorgon. But Ningyuan is a city after all, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed there. Dorgon is just trying to kill you.
It is impossible to lead his troops to attack Ningyuan at this time.
However, Tashan Fort is different. It is said that Tashan Fort is just a military fortress, and it is still the smallest of the three original fortresses. Although it has been restored now, its scale is far less than it was before. If Dorgon wanted to kill Chang Yu, it is not ruled out.
He gritted his teeth and sent an army to besiege him.
Really, Dorgon really has this possibility. He and Chang Yu have a deep hatred for him, and they wish they could be cut into pieces with a thousand knives. Once Chang Yu is killed by his father, Ming Dynasty will have nothing to fear and return to before liberation.
Don't look at the fact that Chang Yu has won many battles in the past two years in the south and north. He defeated Li Zicheng, held down Zuo Liangyu, put down thieves everywhere, and shocked Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan... Daming seemed to be in high spirits, but
Once he dies now, Ming Dynasty will collapse!
Because the Ming Dynasty is still in internal and external difficulties, there are still natural and man-made disasters, the treasury is still empty, and the people are still struggling to make ends meet. Although the court has regained some clarity, there are no ministers who have the ability and ability to fight against the troubles. However, like Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo
Those ministers, if Chang Yu is no longer around, will have no one to obey, and they will be scattered again, each making their own plans...
The only reason why there is no collapse now is because Chang Yu is such a sea-calming needle. Once he falls, everything will collapse. The warlords in the Ming court will be in chaos, Li Zicheng will rebel again, Zhang Xianzhong will be even more lawless, and the Qing court will have no big enemy.
Panting with pride, Zu Dashou will be constrained again, unable to support himself...
Emperor Chongzhen saw this clearly, as did many self-aware ministers, and the Qing court itself saw this clearly. Therefore, Chang Yu is both the Dinghai magic needle and the fatal weakness of the Ming court. Once Chang Yu is killed
, Mingting is over.
And once Dorgon finds out that Chang Yu went to Tashan Fort, do you think he will take action?
Even if he loses thousands of troops, as long as he kills this great eunuch, he will feel it is worth it!
But since the great eunuch was coming, Zu Dashou couldn't persuade him, and he knew he couldn't persuade him, so he could only do his job and be prepared. So before Chang Yu came, he sent spies and kept an extremely close eye on what was going on in Jinzhou.
, if there are signs of a large army dispatching, report immediately. If it is just an ordinary army, who is afraid of whom?
The first one to arrive was Ji Jike's vanguard. Zu Dashou had heard for a long time that this man was brave and that although he had a high military rank, he did not neglect him at all. After the ceremony and conversation, he took Ji Jike to sneak into the fort and asked Chang Yu where he was.
, but was shocked to hear that he had gone north, and he didn’t know the details.
This shocked Zu Dashou. If he went north, he would go to the north of Tashan Fort, and dozens of miles north of Tashan Fort was Xingshan Fort, which was being repaired by the Qing army. It was heavily defended by the Qing army, and there was also a conflict between the two armies.
To be honest, the Qing army was building fortifications there in a short period of time. Zu Dashou repeatedly sent troops to attack the most intense place, but he had never been there personally. After all, the commander could not easily enter a dangerous place.
Good guy, but the eunuch was so impatient that he went there before entering Tashan Castle first. This must be too dangerous.
Zu Dashou was about to raise his troops, but was stopped by Ji Jike: "There are nearly 400 troops from the Tiger Camp and Horses accompanying us, and the Tatars' troops there are only a few hundred, so it doesn't matter."
If that's the case, then fine. Zu Dashou thought about it and realized that with the bravery of the eunuch and his subordinates and the strong general Ma Ke, he really wasn't afraid of hundreds of enemies. Moreover, he already knew the size of the opponent's troops and had obviously done the detection.
, there should be no big trouble.
But, why is he in such a hurry to go to the north? What are he doing there?
"The Governor said, go and say hello to Dorgon, and also give General Zu a greeting gift."
Zu Dashou was startled, then shook his head with a wry smile, and asked Ji Jike: "Why doesn't the general go?"
Ji Jike also laughed: "The Governor was afraid that the general would go, so he asked the general to stop him, saying that the general must not be involved in danger, and there must be no chaos in the rear!"
Zu Dashou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he felt more and more that something was wrong with this eunuch. He confirmed his position by saying that the coach should not be involved in danger, and also showed his own thoughts. It is you who have the final say outside the customs, and I can also give instructions.
