What Wang Yongji said is really the truth. In just two or three years since Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Communist Party of China, he has been the eighth president! And each of them has not ended well. The lightest ones are dismissed from their posts and sent into exile to guard the border, while the worst are direct
Beheading, you must know that Emperor Chongzhen was very murderous in recent years. Not only did he often replace people and kill people if they disagreed, but later generations have made statistics. During his reign, he killed a total of seven governors and eleven governors.
Seventeen ministers of the Ministry of Justice and fifty cabinet bachelors were appointed, which is the most in history. Most of the substitutions and killings occurred in the last few years.
That's why Wang Yongji was so scared that he took the initiative to ask for a fight and ran hundreds of miles away to chase Chang Yu. Unfortunately, he failed to catch up and missed the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for his sins.
However, I also heard the implication from Chang Yu's words, which would save him from death. The rest would depend on his performance. As for how to behave, he didn't know. Could it be that he bribed the young eunuch with money? Although he had the intention, he was powerless.
I don't dare. After all, the little eunuch has a good reputation, and Dongchang is now taking the lead in investigating and anti-corruption. Don't be photographed and self-defeating.
"You cannot escape the blame for the Tatars' invasion and destruction. With the emperor's current temperament, he will kill people without blinking an eye. The only way to save his life is to take the initiative to resign and then perform meritorious service!" Chang Yu smiled faintly, and Wang Yongji was confused: "Next
Officials also know that to make meritorious deeds, they just need a chance!"
"Opportunities must be grasped by oneself, not given by others! Governor Wang, why don't you have the eyesight to see!" Chang Yu snorted: "If the Fortress is destroyed, repair it quickly!"
"Yes, yes, this needs to be repaired quickly," Wang Yongji said quickly, "I'm afraid just repairing the door is not enough."
"So you have to be discerning and find work by yourself. Nowadays, people in Henan, Hebei, Shandong, and Shanxi are in dire straits due to wars or natural disasters such as drought and locust plagues. The emperor's eyebrows are on fire because of this, so you won't take the initiative to ask for help.
How can these places share your worries?" Chang Yu hated him for not fighting and let out a long sigh.
Wang Yongji let out a hey, slapped his forehead hard, and thanked Chang Yu repeatedly: "Factory Supervisor is a great kindness. I will never repay you until I'll never forget it in my life!"
"I don't need you to repay any kindness. I just hope that you can report this kindness to the emperor and the people, so that you can relieve the emperor's worries and do practical things for the people!" Chang Yu had already thought of how to arrange it when Wang Yongji joined him.
Well, although this person is a traitor, he has no bad deeds. On the contrary, he is an honest official and is a useful person. At this time, the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty needs such an honest official to handle civil affairs, so it is just a good opportunity to decentralize him!
Of course, with Chang Yu's status at this time, there is absolutely no problem in protecting himself, and Emperor Chongzhen trusted the people he recommended very much, and would not refuse anyone who came. He even used the sheepherder Yu Chenglong who he pulled directly from the ravine.
He was thrown directly to the grassroots level in Henan, where it was the hardest, to train.
Wang Yongji kept saying yes, but Chang Yu suddenly asked: "Do you have any spare money at home?"
"This..." Wang Yongji was startled and said quickly: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, I have always cherished feathers and never..." He thought Chang Yu was going to check him, but he heard the little eunuch let out another long sigh: "I really don't know you.
How did the governor do this?"
Wang Yongji was startled, and Yang E, who was next to him, quickly winked at him, suddenly realized, and looked around: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, how much money can I get to settle this matter, but I really don't have much money in my hands..."
Holding the straw, Chang Yu almost turned his face: "Could it be that I am asking for a bribe on behalf of my supervisor?"
"Then..." Wang Yongji and Yang E were immediately dumbfounded.
Chang Yu sighed and stamped his feet: "Does it cost money to repair the Gate Fortress? If the imperial court pays for the repair, what contribution can you make?"
Wang Yongji suddenly realized, but immediately made a sad face: "But the lower officials don't have that much money!"
"This is not a question of money at all, but a question of attitude, and the gesture must be made!" Chang Yu was really convinced: "After returning to Beijing, he immediately submitted a petition to the emperor to resign as Governor of Ji Liao, and then donated all his family property to personally He oversaw the construction of a closed building, and then recommended himself to serve as magistrate of a county or state..."
Only then did Wang Yongji and Yang E suddenly realize that they admired the little eunuch in their hearts. He was young and scheming but extremely sophisticated!
When Yang E was about to ask about his future, he suddenly heard a faint murderous cry coming from the northeast. Everyone was shocked, but the corners of the little eunuch's mouth turned up.
This sudden change not only frightened Wang Yongji, Yang E and others to change their colors, but the Ming army who were resting at the pass also fell into panic. They got up and rushed up the city wall to wait and see, and some even drove their horses and ran eastward along the city wall to investigate. Explore.
"Mr. Factory Supervisor, over there..." Wang Yongji looked horrified: "Are the Tatars trying to come back?"
Chang Yu laughed loudly and pointed at Hao Yaoqi, who was rushing towards him: "That man wants to kill the Tatars back."
As he spoke, Hao Yaoqi had already rushed to the front: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, there is a fighting in the valley, do you want to send troops to intercept it?"
"When you arrive, it's time to call it a day. Whether or not you'll be able to earn your dues depends not only on whether God rewards you, but also on whether Tang Tong and Marco give you a chance..."
Tang Tong, Ma Ke!!! Wang Yongji, Yang E and others were immediately stunned! Hao Yaoqi reacted slowly: "Why should we give them a chance..."
Chang Yu laughed loudly and looked at Wang Yongji and said: "Aren't you two always wondering where the two generals, Tang Tong and Ma Ke, are?" He pointed to the valley: "Well, the governor is seeing off the guests. , and then said to Hao Yaoqi, if Dorgon cannot withstand their attack, he will definitely retreat, and you will have a chance..."
Hey! Hao Yaoqi stamped his feet and ran away. He rushed to the gate in one breath and ordered the soldiers to assemble and prepare for battle. When the Qing army retreated, he immediately attacked them head-on.
In the valley, Dorgon was furious at this moment, and he knew that he had fallen into the little eunuch's trick again.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing! But it actually happened.
The last time he fought against the little eunuch, he knew that his methods were insidious and complicated, but he never expected that he would be able to trick him even after he was released from prison, and this time he was almost tricked to the point of annihilating his entire army.
Because this was the time when the Qing army was most exhausted and demoralized, and also when it was most disorganized and unprepared. No one could have imagined that more than ten thousand Ming troops would suddenly appear in these barren mountains!
The Qing army had no precautions, and many of them were even awakened from their deep sleep. When they woke up in a daze, they heard that the Ming army was coming to kill them. Instead of drawing their swords to meet the enemy, they were so horrified that they were running around like headless flies!
The first ones to react were the soldiers of Dorgon and others. They were indeed the best among the best. Although they were few, they were fierce and fearless. Facing the Ming army that was charging over the mountains and plains, they fought tooth and nail to win for their master. A glimmer of hope.
However, the valley in front was blocked by the swarming Ming troops. The mountains on both sides were extremely steep and there were many Ming troops shooting arrows and pushing rocks. The only way out was to retreat.
But can it really be withdrawn?
Behind is Gubeikou, where thousands of Ming troops are sharpening their swords and waiting for them!
"A castrated dog has no faith, a castrated dog has no faith! He is going to kill me!" Dorgon's eyes were split open, and he roared and spit out a mouthful of blood, frightening everyone around him.
"In Tongzhou and Shunyi we had such a good opportunity to castrate the dog but why did we wait until now?" While the generals were panicking, Duduo was terrifyingly calm!
"Prince Yu, what are you thinking about at this moment? The top priority now is to rush out!" Shang Ke roared anxiously, and Duduo raised his head and glanced at him: "Yes, there is only one way to survive now, rush out!"
Well, Shang Kexi and others were startled. There were tens of thousands of people blocking the entrance of the valley by the Ming army. However, the Qing army was now panicking and running for their lives, but Doduo still wanted to fight head-on to get out?
Duduo turned back and looked at the Gubeikou Fortress: "Going back is a dead end. Although the Ming army is numerous in front, they alone will not be able to block us... If we go back, we will be attacked from both front and back, and there will be no place to die."
