The carriage drove slowly, and Chang Yu's heart in the carriage was still agitated and could not calm down for a long time. The unyielding national hero in history appeared vividly in front of him. That feeling... was very nice!
He stretched out his hand to lift the car curtain and looked back. In the dim night, Shi Kefa was still standing at the door of the inn watching him, his strong figure was like a giant holding up the sky.
The Ming Dynasty depends on you to support it. Master Shi, with you here, I will no longer be walking alone on the road of supporting the Ming Dynasty, so you can't die! Chang Yu put down the car curtain and secretly made up his mind.
Historically, Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide and the Ming Dynasty was over. The Qing army went south. Shi Kefa led his army to defend Yangzhou but was defeated and died on the battlefield. The Qing army then carried out a brutal and inhumane ten days in Yangzhou. The bones were piled up in mountains and the bodies were severely decomposed due to the heat. Later generations could not distinguish Shi Kefa.
His adopted son Shi Dewei buried the body with clothes and hats. It is a pity that the remains of a generation of famous ministers have not been preserved.
Shi Kefa cannot die, and Zhou Yuji cannot die. With this civil and military presence in the Ming Dynasty, Chang Yu will not be alone.
"Mr. Factory, should we go back to the palace or... across the street?" Old Hulema stopped the car and asked softly.
Chang Yu was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Let's go back to the palace." He wanted to go to Guangqumen to see Little Apple, but he was worried that Chongzhen would not be able to make the round trip if he summoned him tomorrow morning.
After knocking on the city gate of Zhengyang Gate, the carriage entered the inner city. Dozens of people suddenly poured out. Fang San was a little surprised. When he got closer, he saw the men of Jinyi Guards and Fujun Guards. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you still here?
"
"As a humble official, I am here to wait for the governor and escort him back to the palace by order of Duke Chun."
"Um, how did Eunuch Chun know that the governor would come back?" Fang San wondered.
"Eunuch Chun's order is to guard the city gate and escort the governor back to the palace if he returns. If he doesn't return, he will wait until dawn."
Fang San suddenly realized, nodded slightly, said thank you for your hard work, then jumped in the car and whispered to Chang Yu, secretly convinced that Chunxiang was still more considerate than me.
It was already early in the morning when we returned to the palace. The grand gathering in Caolanchang had ended, and the entire palace was extremely silent.
Chang Yu did not go to the East Palace. All his luggage was moved to the Yamen of Neidongchang. In other words, this was his base from now on.
It was late at night, and after hastily washing up, Chang Yu went to bed to rest, and soon fell asleep, with a smile on his lips.
It was getting light and Chang Yu got up. Fang San was already preparing breakfast for him. This follower became more conscientious and liked Chang Yu more and more.
He did a few sets of boxing in the hospital and was in high spirits. He hasn't exercised properly for some time since leaving Taiyuan, and now he wants to return to normal.
After saying something to Fang San, he left the yamen and went for a run.
It was still early and the chill was very strong, but there were already hurried eunuchs and maids busy outside. Chang Yu lowered the brim of his hat and trotted north along the city wall.
Although the Imperial City is large, it also has many buildings. The most suitable place for jogging is the grass field.
The Caolan Field was originally a place for horse walking, but now it has an additional function, which is a training ground for eunuchs. At this time, hundreds of people have gathered to run along the field.
Although there were more than 300 eunuchs who became famous in Taiyuan when Chang Yu left the capital, only 200 or so eunuchs came back. These eunuchs who have experienced the baptism of war are no longer the Amon of yesterday. In terms of temperament and momentum, they are far from comparable to the eunuchs in the palace.
After returning to Beijing, these two hundred people only rested for one night before resuming training, because they were regular members of Chang Yu's private staff and could be pulled out at any time, and they could be beaten as soon as they were pulled out.
The popularity of boxing matches in the palace has not diminished, and the competition system has become more diversified, making it easier for boxers to make money, which further stimulates the enthusiasm of the eunuchs. Many people signed up for training, and at this time, the two hundred eunuchs who had seen blood have become temporary coaches.
.
The eunuch's physical fitness is extremely poor due to his disability and lack of exercise. The basic element of a boxer is physical fitness, so running is listed as the most basic training.
At this time, the boxing match has become large-scale and has mature rules, and the boxers have also begun to practice fighting skills. Unlike the previous days when they had no skills at the beginning, they all relied on being big and pushing hard, so the military body
Boxing has become the basic boxing technique.
Chang Yu kept a low profile and ran around the grassland with a group of eunuchs for five kilometers without being discovered. It was not until he couldn't help but move forward to correct the postures of some eunuchs when the entire army was boxing that he was recognized.
All the eunuchs were surprised and happy. Some couldn't help but whisper, and some hurriedly greeted him. However, the more than 200 eunuchs who had followed Chang Yu from birth to death were indifferent because they knew Chang Yu's temperament well and did not need to greet him during training. On the contrary,
Will be beaten.
After some corrections, these eunuchs repeated the actions over and over again. At the other end of the pasture, Chang Yu summoned his old troops to start training alone. Juntiquan was no longer enough for these people who had seen blood.
What Chang Yu wants to teach them is fighting skills, how to subdue opponents quickly and effectively, and even seriously injure or even kill them. His teaching method is unique. He not only exercises, but also directly engages in actual combat, often one versus three or four.
Teach as you go, this method is effective and practical.
"I heard that those people followed the governor to the battlefield and killed people..." The eunuchs watching from a distance began to whisper.
"No, the look in their eyes is different. It's very cruel and makes people shudder."
"I heard that they have a unified name called Gongziying, which represents our inner palace. They all make a name for themselves on the battlefield..."
Half an hour later, Chang Yu left Caolanchang with a bruised nose and a swollen face. His training was all practical combat, often with one enemy against many. The eunuchs of Gongziying knew his habits. If he didn't go all out, he would be severely punished, so he was famous in both the government and the public.
The big boss of Dongchang actually failed after several actual battles.
After returning to the Neidongchang Yamen and washing up, Fang San brought breakfast and said softly: "I left someone outside the Qianqing Gate. I just came to report. Mr. Shi was summoned by the Emperor early in the morning."
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and Fang San continued: "Not only Mr. Shi, but also all the ministers in the cabinet were summoned to discuss the matter. Something must have happened."
Is it possible that the intruders caused a big storm in Henan? Chang Yu speculated in his mind that although he was the admiral of Dongchang and was responsible for intelligence work, he took over the task for too short a time, and the Dongchang was previously weak and weak. Only under his command in Taiyuan
At that time, some manpower was deployed there, but after the intruder left for Henan from the east, he did not receive any information.
Of course, Jin Yiwei, another intelligence agency, had much wider reach. He believed what Li Zicheng was doing in Henan, and Jin Yiwei would report it to the emperor after finding out. It was just that he didn't know it. It seemed that he would go back to Wu Mengming to find out.
"Where is the prince?" Chang Yu asked casually.
"The prince also went to Qianqingmen," Fang San said, "Master Wu also went."
Chang Yu nodded slightly and twitched the corner of his mouth. Although the governor of Dongchang sounded domineering, in fact, a royal dog could never go to the banquet. Even Wu Mengming, who wanted to obey his orders, was qualified to go to the court, but he could only hide.
In his own yamen, there is nothing to do.
Anyway, the court hall was very dirty, and I didn't want to go there. It was quieter to hide in the dark.
After dinner, there was nothing to do, and knowing that the emperor had no time to summon all the ministers to discuss matters, Chang Yu simply walked out of the Yamen and took a walk in the imperial city.
Walking leisurely, we headed straight to the Long Live Mountain directly opposite the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace.
