Huang Delin was stunned and said, "Do you want to buy a house in Nanjing? If you really want to buy it, the villain offered a price of 10,000 taels of silver, and you can sell it to the adults for 9,000 taels of silver."
Shang Yi shook his head and smiled and said, "You spent 12,000 taels of silver to buy this house, and spent more than 2,000 taels of silver to re-embellish it. How could I buy it for only 9,000 taels of silver?
!To be honest, it is 12,000 taels of silver. I took a big advantage because the scriptures have made a decision, so the price is settled. But I don’t have any cash on hand, so I need to ask Mr. Huang to wait for three or five days.”
After hearing this, Huang Delin was naturally very grateful to Shang Yi and said, "Okay, please go with me to see the house."
Shang Yi said: "I don't have to worry about it. I still have official duties now, so I won't come to Nanjing to live immediately, so you don't have to rush to move out of the house. I'll notify you when I'm going to settle in Nanjing.
Just move out."
At this point, Huang Delin didn't know that Shang Yi was intending to help him overcome this difficulty, but he couldn't help but be careful. As the saying goes: If you give kindness to others, you will have something to ask for. After all, Huang Delin has been on the scene for a long time.
People who are chaotic know that people in the government must make friends, but they must not make friends with each other in depth, because they do not want to join the battle between the officialdom. Or Shang Yi wants to ask them to inquire about the situation of the rebels, so he said: "
The adults are so generous, so the common people are naturally grateful. If the adults have any place to use the common people, please give them instructions. Although the common people are just a bodyguard and have limited abilities, they will try their best to help the adults. Even if they go through fire and water,
He is exhausted and does not hesitate to do anything else.”
Shang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Huang, don't be too careful. I do want to ask you for help in some things, but they are definitely things that you can and will not attract attention. They will not make you embarrassed, and they will not make you embarrassed.
I won't get you into right and wrong."
Huang Delin said: "Please tell me what's going on?"
Shang Yi said: "I want to ask you to help inquire about the news. But these news does not mean that you will spy on confidential military information, etc. I will not accept these things at night, nor are they from the officialdom news. You also
I can't inquire, but it's circulating between the alleys of the city, or some information I need for designated inquiries, but it will never involve the court secrets. Because your bodyguards have a wide range of friendships and well-informed information, this
It should be very stable. In addition, I may carry out some trading operations in the future, transport goods in the store, and have some things to start. I will ask you for more help. Of course, the compensation required by the escort agency will be calculated separately."
Huang Delin thought about it and said that Shang Yi’s request was not too much. It was difficult to inquire about the market news. In fact, it was divided into whom. The outsiders were blinded by themselves, but for the locals, it was because of the fact that they were not allowed to do so.
For escort agencies that are all good at all, they are even more familiar with each other. As long as they do not involve the court and government, there is basically nothing they can't find out. When transporting goods in the store is originally the business scope of the escort agency. Only the beginning is actually to give
The wealthy family is the leader of the guardian and guarding the house. Although the errands are not big, the pressure is not small. The Fuwei Escort Agency used to be sufficient in the past and generally did not do the things that started. However, now the business is difficult and there is no need to take care of many things. Do it if you have something to do.
.
Therefore, Huang Delin nodded and said, "Okay, Lord Shang, if all the villains can agree to these things, as long as you give them instructions, we will do it for you."
Shang Yi was also very happy. With the help of the Fuwei Escort Agency, he could have a deep understanding of the news in the market. It can be said that every move in Nanjing and Zhejiang can be controlled by him.
On September 20, news came from the Central Plains battlefield. Sun Chuanting entered Luoyang in early August. On September 12, Sun Chuanting captured Baofeng and the two sides officially began to fight. On the 14th, Sun Chuanting marched into Jia County, and Li Zicheng
He personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to fight. Sun Chuanting's general Bai Guangen and Gao Jie attacked, captured General Guoyi, Xie Junyou, under Li Zicheng's subordinates, and cut off Li Zicheng's flag, almost captured Li Zicheng alive, and captured Jia County.
At the same time, Gao Doushu and Huideng joined forces with each other, cooperated with Sun Chuanting to fight, captured Gucheng and advanced to Xiangyang. The guerrilla general Zeng Xiu attacked the old camp of Li Zicheng's troops in Tang County and captured his baggage.
Kill thousands of his family members.
At this time, Sun Chuanting obtained the surrender of Qiu Zhitao, an official under Li Zicheng.
Qiu Zhitao was originally the son of Qiu Yu, the Minister of Rites. When Li Zicheng captured Yicheng County, he was arrested by Li Zicheng and was forced to surrender to Li Zicheng and was named Assistant Minister of War. After Li Zicheng led his army north, Qiu Zhitao stayed in Xiangyang and wrote
The letter was sent to Sun Chuanting, which was an insider. After Sun Chuanting received the letter, he was naturally overjoyed. This was also an important reason why he dared to go out of seclusion to attack Li Zicheng in full. So Sun Chuanting and Henan general Bu Congshan and Chen Yongfu joined forces to attack Xiangcheng.
For a moment, the whole line was red and good news kept coming, so the officials in Nanjing also had a joyful atmosphere. Moreover, Wu Qing immediately ordered Zuo Liangyu to order him to immediately march north to enter Wuchang Prefecture and approach Xiangyang.
Cooperating with Sun Chuanting's attack, Li Zicheng was eliminated in one fell swoop.
But only Yi knew that Sun Chuanting's achievements were actually enough to reflect on himself. Because according to the process of another time and space, Sun Chuanting actually fell into Li Zicheng's luring the enemy deep into the trap and used his own strategy to serve him. He was entrusted by Sun Chuanting to the extreme
The secret letter of Qiu Zhitao of great hope was already intercepted by Li Zicheng in the middle of the journey. The incident was leaked, and Sun Chuanting and Qiu Zhitao were both hidden in the valley. Therefore, Sun Chuanting's defeat was inevitable.
Therefore, just when Wu Yan and Shi Kefa were happy in Nanjing officials, Shang Yi just looked coldly and thought to himself, just wait for joy to be sad.
The next day, the Beijing court passed down an imperial edict, and praised Wu Yan and Shang Yi for pursuing Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang, and preserved the achievements of the three vassal kings. At the same time, Shang Yi was officially promoted to Zhejiang General and fully responsible for quelling the Zhejiang rebellion.
, and Wu Yan once added the power to supervise Zhejiang.
It turned out that after winning consecutive victories, Sun Chuanting was also very excited. He urgently reported to the court for credit, and said in the report of the victory: "The thief heard that the ministers were all defeated, and he was very strict with his fingers to cleanse Yu, so he would not leave the worries of the king and father."
Chongzhen first accepted Wu Yan's victory with the scriptures. He knew that Zhang Xianzhong was beaten by Shang Yi and was basically defeated by the army. He almost fled to Guangxi alone. He was very happy. Although Zhang Xianzhong ran away, he was in a short period of time.
Zhang Xianzhong's reason for the crisis is difficult to make the climate, and now Li Zicheng seems to be in a hurry. It seems that it is just around the corner to eliminate the bandits that had plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years.
Therefore, Chongzhen was also ecstatic. He took the victory memorials of Wu and Sun Chuanting and asked the ministers to circulate them, and said repeatedly in the court: "The destruction of the bandits is only at night."
Chongzhen even told the officials, labourers and soldiers to quickly cooperate with Sun Chuanting to achieve the final victory and to prepare for the matter after destroying Li Zicheng. Although some people saw something wrong, Feng Yuanbiao, the Minister of the Ministry of War, said He said: "The bandits were still deliberately trying to lure them with weakness. Supervisor Sun rashly led his army southward, and his situation was worrying." These words certainly made Chongzhen feel very disappointed.
However, most people are like Chongzhen, full of optimism about the future. Some people also like Chongzhen suggested that Wu Xuan and Shang Yi's troops should be transferred to the north and attack Xiangyang, so as to form a force of attacking north and south with Sun Chuanting.
This suggestion did touch Chongzhen a lot, but it was strongly opposed by the cabinet chief Chen Yan. Of course, he did not want Wu Yan to defeat Li Zicheng. However, his reason was that he was very proud. Although Zhang Xianzhong was seriously injured, he was completely injured. The army was wiped out, but it is difficult to guarantee that it will not rekindle. The roots must be eradicated. Therefore, it is recommended that the Shangyi Ministry of Commerce chased to Guangxi and must capture Zhang Xianzhong alive.
Although Chen Yan had sufficient reasons, the other ministers were not stupid, so they caused another debate in the court. As a result, the ministers fought over and over again, and whether Shang Yi should send troops north was related to morality. , The theory of the law of heaven and the debate between gentlemen and villains has risen. Although the fight has turned red, Chongzhen is confused.
At this moment, Shi Kefa's Zhejiang rebellion and Nanjing was sent to Beijing in an emergency. This time, all the officials in the court were shocked. This was really a wave of failure. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have not completely calmed down. Why are Zhejiang again? It's messy.
However, Chen Yan was very agile and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. He immediately suggested that Wu Yan and Shang Yi should quell the rebellion in Zhejiang. In this way, Wu Yan not only could not defeat Li Zicheng's contribution, but also seized it. Zhang Xianzhong's chance was gone, and Chen Yan also planned to look at the situation for a few more days. If Sun Chuanting sends back to Beijing with another good news, he would also rescue the Beijing governor and take the full control of the success of pacifying Li Zicheng into his own hands. Although the Zhejiang rebellion was also a great achievement, it could not be compared with the pacification of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.
Of course Chongzhen didn't know Chen Yan's thoughts, but at this time Wu Yan's memorial was also sent to Beijing, saying that the military situation was urgent, and he led his army eastward with Jing and Shang Yi to defend Nanjing, quell the Zhejiang rebellion, and Nanjing and Zhejiang It is also an important area of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to be mistaken. Moreover, Wu Yan also took action and reported to the east, leading the army to advance eastward. Chongzhen also felt that there was no need to make trouble. In addition, Chongzhen also felt that Sun Chuanting was enough to deal with Li Zicheng, so Following the flow, he formally issued an order to quell the Zhejiang Rebellion.
However, although Shang Yi and Wu Yan were unable to capture and kill Zhang Xianzhong this time, their military achievements in Huguang were still very prominent and they should be rewarded. So they were appointed Shang Yi as the general of Zhejiang and led troops to quell the rebellion with justification.
