Chapter 105: The Dragon and the Phoenix (1)
"Brother Donglai, there is an opportunity in front of you. If you catch it, it is not a problem to be granted a title of a marquis. Even a title of king is not impossible. It depends on whether you can catch it." Huang Rizhang saw that Chen Jitai was very accomplicated, so he said clearly.
"Oh?" Chen Jitai realized when he heard this, he realized that the two of them were not the same thing and had already had a fork in the way.
He is not stupid. There is no way to be granted titles by the concubine's father and brother, and only the queen's father and brother can enjoy the treatment of title. Even if Qian'er becomes the queen, she can only be a concubine with the highest title, and she cannot be a queen. Therefore, if she is a concubine who is a marquis, she can only hope that her daughter will become the queen.
But, is this possible?
This is unlikely, and you can still be named a king? If you want to be named a king, there is only one possibility, and you can make unparalleled military achievements.
"Oh, it turns out that Huang Rizhang wanted to rebel. He saw that I was deposed and his military power was seized. I guess I must have a grudge, so I came to test me."
"Rebellion? Now the situation in Chaoli is gradually stabilizing. Can it be successful? Could it be that he wanted to support the King of Tang ascend the throne like I thought at the beginning? What did he like to see me again? He just had no soldiers and no power to be an idle person." Chen Jitai didn't say anything for a moment, sitting there in a daze.
"Brother Donglai, don't you dare? Ronghua is at your fingertips." Seeing that Chen Jitai didn't answer, Huang Rizhang quickly continued to instigate him.
"Glory and wealth?" When Chen Jitai heard this word, his eyes lit up and he thought to himself: "Yes, isn't this a good opportunity?"
"You retreat. If you don't have me, no one is allowed to approach the garden gate!" Chen Jitai was excited and quickly drove the maid servant out of the garden.
...
"Hahaha, OK, great, done!"
The two talked secretly for a long time, and Chen Jitai laughed, picked up the wine glass and touched Huang Rizhang for a while, and then drank it all in one go.
With this encounter, the two of them have successfully formed an alliance.
...
Ma Jixiang's intelligence is very powerful, but some of them were sent to other places to spy on military information, while the other part was responsible for secretly surveillance of officials in the court. He could not monitor censors like Su Mingfeng, let alone an idle official like Huang Rizhang and Chen Jitai?
Huang Rizhang was also smart. He secretly planned to overthrow Yongli and support the Tang Dynasty King Zhu Yue, but he did not have any contact with Zhu Yue. Because he knew that Zhu Yue must have a lot of money and surveillance must be very strict. If he contacted him, he would be given a special contact. In fact, it doesn’t matter if he did not contact. When Yongli was overthrown, he would force Zhu Yue to wear a yellow robe. Will he refuse? Will he dare to refuse?
Therefore, Zhu Youlang did not receive any news about Huang Rizhang's conspiracy.
He is now closely monitoring the war between the east and west.
To the east, Li Chengdong, the general of the Right Army of the People's Liberation Army of the Ming Dynasty, had received an imperial edict, making full use of the geographical advantage of the western Fujian corridor with many mountains and rivers, and laying layers of ambush in the Tingzhou line of Pucheng, Ninghua, and Tingzhou. If the Qing soldiers really wanted to advance according to the march route designed by Zhu Youlang, they would definitely not be able to get it.
At present, Li Chengdong and Yu Xianxia Pass are fighting fiercely with the Inlaid White Flag led by Boluo. According to the war reports, the Qing soldiers attacked for several days, left nearly a thousand bodies, and had already captured the first pass.
There are four passes in Xianxia Pass. If Boluo continues to fight like this, even if he has 15,000 passes, he will probably suffer one-third of his casualties even if he has won all passes.
However, the 5,000 Mongolian white-bannered cavalry led by Jialaezhen Ajige had set out from Guangxin, Jiangxi, with the intention of detouring to Xianxia Pass, and attacking Boluo from north to south, and completely annihilated Li Chengdong's troops.
"Then it depends on Li Chengdong's talent. It is not difficult to break out of the strategic encirclement of the Qing army. The key is the timing. It must not be too early or too late. If it is too early, it may reveal our army's strategic intentions. If it is too late, it will be made into dumplings." Zhu Youlang said intimately.
Putting down the East Road, Zhu Youlang studied the situation on the West Road again.
He Tengjiao, Hunan, had sent someone to send him a follow-up call. Zhu Youlang issued an order to make him the governor of Hunan, and to command the war in Hunan with full authority, and informed him of his analysis and judgment of the enemy situation.
Like in history, He Tengjiao conquered more than 500,000 of the remaining troops of Li Zicheng, led by general Hao Yongzhong, and is currently defending Changsha.
Although He Tengjiao had 500,000 people in his hands, his military discipline was dispersed and he could not be a rival to Kong Youde. If he followed the historical trend, he persisted in Hunan for more than eight months.
Zhu Youlang really wanted to go to Hunan and personally fight Kong Youde. Unfortunately, the court was still unstable now, and the mines and grenades he was counting on were not mass-produced and could not leave at all.
"I can only expect He Tengjiao to resist for a while. If I persist for more than eight months, I will be able to free up my hands. By then, I can fight Kong Youde in person."
Zhu Youlang sat for too long, and he was a little dizzy when he thought about things. He rubbed his temples and suddenly remembered Dai Yilan. "I don't know how this girl is doing now? Wu Xin, this stupid guy, doesn't know how to send a letter back."
Thinking of Dai Yilan, Zhu Youlang naturally thought of the noodle shop.
"Bai Xing, I want to stroll around the streets and arrange for the defense." Zhu Youlang called Bai Xing in and ordered.
"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Bai Xing asked. Where do you want to go, so as to arrange guards along the way.
"Well, go and have a bowl of rice noodles, and then take a look at it on the street, mainly to see the business conditions of the store."
"Yes, I follow the order."
Chen Bowen heard this by the side and felt excited: "Don't let the emperor meet that little aunt!"
Seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Bowen felt a little relieved. That little aunt would go home just after Chen Zhong, so she probably couldn't meet it.
...
What Chen Bowen unexpectedly was that the two really met this time. The reason was that his good sister Chen Jiaoqian.
For more than ten days, Chen Jiaoqian went to the "Weiji Noodle Shop" to wait for the rabbit. Every time, he came at the beginning of Chen and left at the end of Chen.
But I haven't waited.
If someone else is replaced, he might have given up. Chen Jiaoqian was a little nervous and thought to himself: "I don't believe it. You chose the name of rice noodles. If you eat it for a while, you won't eat it?"
Therefore, I still take the cooked water to the "Weiji Noodle Shop" every day to report.
Because she came diligently, Wei Duo had noticed it long ago. After asking slowly, he realized that she was the eldest lady of the Chen family.
It is so unusual for the ladies of wealthy families to visit the noodle shop every day. Not to mention the unwilling atmosphere, even if the atmosphere in Guangzhou is more open, there is no such thing.
If you don’t go to the clothing store, paste shop, handmade shop, why do you come to my store all day? Every time you come, you have to serve a plate of rice noodles, but you eat it. Every time you pick a few chopsticks, you don’t eat it. This obviously doesn’t mean rice noodles, but it has something else to do.
Although he was full of doubts, how could he ask about the affairs of wealthy families?
Fortunately, the arrival of her and that maid has added a lot of popularity to the store. Some of the prodigal children came to the store to eat rice noodles, probably just to see her.
