Chapter 82
Chen Yilong?
Yu Wan still had some impression of this person. He was a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen. After the Qing army captured Nanjing, he organized Taihu militia to carry out anti-Qing activities. After being arrested, he was bravely executed. He was one of the few upright ministers in the Hongguang regime.
Unexpectedly, I could meet this generous and righteous hero here, and I also accidentally gained his trust and got the opportunity to enter the Dongming Dynasty.
As long as Dai Zi is in Nanjing City, Yu Wan is not afraid of not being able to find him. He will have a hero in troubled times. He has a strong premonition that some news about Dai Zi’s whereabouts should be obtained in Yingtian Prefecture Forbidden City.
After Chen Yilong sent someone to clean the battlefield, he took Yu Wan and Chu Yan into Nanjing City.
As the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Yingtian Mansion was indeed extraordinary and prosperous. The city walls were winding and solid, the streets were straight and wide, and there were commercial buildings one after another on both sides. The fireworks and willow alleys everywhere made people linger.
Now wars are everywhere, with the Qing army invading the west, and Zuo Liangyu invading the west, but the people here are still singing the back garden across the river, without any sense of crisis. How can the military and civilians be defeated?
Chen Yilong's mansion is located next to Qingliang Mountain, twenty miles west of the palace. Although the surrounding area is rich and prosperous, the Chen Mansion is really a bit simple and shabby. Chen Yilong's wife also looks ordinary, no different from ordinary urban women.
After fighting for a night, some people were so tired that they were exhausted. Chu Yan took a shower and changed his clothes and closed the door and went to bed. Yu Wan sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to study Liu Bowen's "The Book of the Hundred Battles", Yu Dayou's "Sword Classic" and "The Art of War".
After becoming the prefect, Yu Wan became even busier. He spent less than an hour on martial arts and reading books every day, but he still used these fragmented time to practice the fourth style of Chang's marksmanship - the immortal's guide to a small achievement.
With his current combat effectiveness, even if he faces Jiang Ning and Qin Boqiong's level, he can barely get a draw. In terms of level, he is already at the middle and upper level of second-rate military generals, but he is not proud and complacent. After all, with his current military power, even the barbarian princess Xiao Chuye may not be able to defeat him.
The "Sword Classic" records various tricks and routines of swords, sticks and guns. Unlike the Chang's spear technique, it is not divided into several moves. The whole book only has one move from beginning to end. However, this move contains eighty and sixty-four small moves. Yu Wan studied it for more than half a month before he practiced the Sword Classic to a small achievement.
In addition to focusing on improving the military power value, Yu Wan also took into account the improvement of strategy. The Hundred Battles Story has already understood one-fifth of the tactics and understood all the commonly used tactics. Then, on this basis, he studied the small military tactics and quickly practiced it to the stage of small success. In terms of intellectual strategy alone, Yu Wan is now comparable to a quasi-first-class strategist.
In the chaotic times, the strong are respected. If you want to stand out among the many heroes and become the master of this land, Yu Wan has to make greater efforts. If you can really become a combination of Liu Bowen and Chang Yuchun, Yu Wan will be confident of establishing an unprecedented and extraordinary hegemony!
While he was studying hard, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, "Brother Sledgehammer, are you asleep?"
Chen Yilong? Why did he come so late? Could it be that there is special service?
After Yu Wan hid all the books, he got up and opened the door.
"Mr. Chen, what's the point of visiting late at night?"
Chen Yilong raised the wine jar in his hand and smiled, "I drank too much tea during the day so that I couldn't sleep even after tossing and turning. Come and talk to you."
"Please come in."
Yu Wan had a pretty good impression of him, and was loyal and upright, serving the country and the people. Although he was in his prime, he had a lot of white hair on his temples, and it seemed that he was also a worried and laborious person.
"Brother Sledgehammer, you just came back from the north. Let me tell me about the situation in the Central Plains."
As he said that, he poured two glasses of white wine and started drinking it on his own with the peanuts and beans on the table.
The situation in the north...
Yu Wan's eyes turned and said, "From the Huaihe River in the south and the Henan and Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains has been occupied by Tatars. The Qing rulers forced the Han people to shave their clothes and wantonly occupy the farmers' fields. Those who dared to resist would confiscate their families and exterminate their clans. The Han people were slaughtered by no less than one million!"
Chen Yilong slapped the table and cursed, "These beasts! They should be completely eradicated when Emperor Apocalypse!"
"Now the Tatars are in power, and only Yangzhou is the important town in Jiangbei, and the Qing Dynasty has become a major concern for the Han people. However, our Ming Dynasty is still divided and quarrels, and internal strife is constantly. In the end, it is really heartbreaking to let the Qing court reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
Speaking of this, Chen Yilong's face was a little sad, "The orthodox struggle between the two capitals is indeed a misfortune of my Ming Dynasty. I am also worried about this matter. If this internal struggle continues, I am afraid that within a year or two, the whole world will be full of Tatar dog thieves!"
Yu Wan's eyes moved, and he poured him a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Chen, do you also think that the emperor in Hanjing is a fake Mr. Chongzhen?"
Suddenly speaking of such a sensitive topic, Chen Yilong made a booing move first, looked around vigilantly before whispering, "Brother Dagger, I'm going to tell you, I've long known that Wuchang Mansion is the real Master Chongzhen!"
"Since you know that the orthodox Ming Dynasty is in Hanjing, why do you continue to work hard for Zhu Yousong? This is a serious crime of extermination of the rebellion!"
Chen Yilong sighed, "Actually, it's not just me, but other civil and military officials know the truth, but so what? Many officials' families are in Nanjing. Emperor Hongguang sent a large number of Jinyiwei to monitor us day and night. Once he had the intention of being unjust, his family would be immediately confiscated!
Emperor Hongguang was incompetent and incompetent, and was extremely lewd. He was close to the slander and distant wise men and ignored the government. The military and political power fell into the hands of Ma Shiying. The Ma surname was only concerned about fighting for power and making money, and did not take the country seriously at all. The Shi army was alone in Yangzhou. He had no soldiers to rescue him after several bloody letters. This Nanjing city showed the appearance of a country destruction everywhere. I really don’t know how long it would last!"
Chen Yilong became drunk and became more and more excited as he spoke.
"In contrast, although the Han Jing court was poor and weak, there were many capable ministers and generals. Even a little little Yu Wan, who was unknown, could annihilate 100,000 elite soldiers! After the battle of Anqing, the Nanjing regime was even more dispersed. A few days ago, dozens of knowledgeable people wanted to flee Nanjing to join Master Chongzhen.
Unfortunately, he was taken down by the Jinyiwei before he even left, and in the end he was all destroyed by Ma Shiying! However, it seems that one of them survived. It is said that he is a great man of armed forces and is good at making guns and cannons. Ma Shiying is reluctant to kill him."
"Master of Arms?" Yu Wan's eyes lit up, and he looked at him with some excitement and said, "What's his name?"
"It seems...it seems to be called Dai Zi or something..." Chen Yilong scratched his head, looked at Yu Wan who was ecstatic and said with some confusion, "Brother Sledgehammer, do you know him?"
Yu Wan shook his head quickly, and then gave Lord Chen a cup, "I heard of his name when I was in Liaodong, but I didn't expect that he was also in Nanjing. Brother Chen, where was he locked up?"
"Like such serious criminals of military aircraft are usually imprisoned in Yingtian Mansion Heavenly Prison." Chen Yilong stood up in a daze, patted his dizzy head and said, "Okay, you can rest first, and you will have to meet the emperor tomorrow morning."
"Mr. Chen walked slowly."
After Yu Wan sent Chen Yilong away, he closed the door and jumped out happily. He really found Dai Zi's whereabouts so easily.
Since I learned that he was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, the next thing would be much easier...
After Yu Wan thought for a while, he soon had the idea of rescuing Dai Zi.
Isn’t it just the Western Ming Palace? Even if you have to walk on the dragon’s and tiger’s den!
