I was living at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and I dealt a brutal blow to the Eight Banners!

Chapter 61 Chen Yuanyuan!

at night,

A banquet was held at the residence of the Earl of Pinglu.

All the generals and officials of Fuzhou were present, except for You Dai, the commander of the cavalry, and Shen Qiyuan, the minister of Goryeo.

Since Tian Hongyu represented the imperial court, he sat in the seat of honor.

And on the other side,

Sitting there were Tong Puhan and Luo Luohun.

Compared to Luo Luohun's melancholy, Tong Puhan was quite happy.

Before the dinner,

The Duke of Pinglu of the Ming Dynasty and the imperial merchant of the Qing Dynasty had a private conversation that lasted a full hour, and no one knew what the two talked about in the room.

All that is known is that when the two came out of the house,

The Earl of Pinglu of the Ming Dynasty was in high spirits.

Tong Puhan, on the other hand, was all smiles.

After a few rounds of drinks, they started appearing on the show.

Although Chiyoko's Japanese dance was somewhat strange, it still possessed a certain beauty.

Furthermore, the generals present all knew the strategic importance of Japan to Liaodong.

Therefore,

The colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone.

Whether you appreciate it or not, just applaud and cheer.

After Chiyoko finished her dance,

Just when everyone thought the banquet was about to end, Tian Hongyu stood up and clapped his hands.

Following Tian Hongyu's signal,

The orchestra began playing traditional Jiangnan silk and bamboo music.

Most of the people present were from the north and rarely heard music from the south.

For a time,

Everyone looked surprised.

immediately,

In the surprised eyes of everyone,

A woman with a graceful figure walked in.

On her fair, oval face, she had a small, thin, rosy mouth, large, bright eyes, and a straight nose that added a touch of three-dimensionality to her features, making her look particularly delicate and beautiful.

Not only was Zhang Jingchuan stunned, but everyone present was also captivated by him.

Even Chiyoko, who had returned to serve Zhang Jingchuan, couldn't help but glance at her a few more times, clearly amazed by her stunning beauty.

As the music began...

The woman began to dance gracefully; her beautiful movements and enchanting figure would captivate any normal man.

"This is...?" Zhang Jingchuan looked at Tian Hongyu in surprise.

“Reporting to Your Excellency,” Tian Hongyu said respectfully, a hint of pride on his face, “this is my adopted daughter, named Chen Yuanyuan.”

"Chen Yuanyuan!?" Zhang Jingchuan was shocked.

The stunningly beautiful woman before him was none other than Chen Yuanyuan, the woman who made Wu Sangui lose his life for.

When Zhang Jingchuan looked at Tian Hongyu again, he noticed that the other man's eyes were filled with complex emotions: anticipation, trepidation, and nervousness.

According to historical accounts, Tian Hongyu should have given Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui.

Whether it was because he had changed history or some other factor, Tian Hongyu actually planned to give Chen Yuanyuan to him.

but,

Since a legendary woman like Chen Yuanyuan has offered herself up, how could we refuse?

This,

It has nothing to do with the nature of men.

It's more like the thrill of sleeping with a celebrity.

It's the kind of thing that others dream of, but I can easily have.

woman,

Regardless of the era, it has always been a symbol of men's power and status.

For this,

Zhang Jingchuan is not actually objectifying women, but rather stating a fact.

Especially those stunning beauties, not everyone has the ability to possess them. If one does not have the strength to bear them, they will become a source of trouble and bring endless trouble upon themselves.

but,

For Zhang Jingchuan now,

He certainly has the right to doubt King Zhou, understand King Zhou, and become King Zhou.

……

next day

It's just dawn.

Commander You Dai of the elite cavalry quietly led 12,000 cavalry out from the south gate.

Twenty miles after leaving Fuzhou City, the cavalry sped up and headed straight for Phoenix City, the Right Guard of Dingliao.

Two days later,

A mutiny broke out in the Goryeo camp in Phoenix City. One force attacked the Qing troops inside the city, while another seized the city gate.

Yu Dai led his elite cavalry into the city without incident.

He also dispatched a fast horse to deliver the head and seal of the Qing army commander back to Huizhou City.

In Fuzhou City,

Tian Hongyu boarded the ship with the head and seal of the Qing army commander.

Fourteen people came, but Chen Yuanyuan and two personal maids were missing when they left.

……

Gaizhouwei

Before Prince Li, Daishan, could even feel joy at the safe return of his grandson, Luoluohun, the fall of Phoenix City struck the heart of this old Qing general like a bolt from the blue.

"Zhang Jingchuan actually used the ten thousand warhorses we gave him to conquer Phoenix City!"

Dai Shan clutched his chest, his face contorted in pain.

Luo Luohun knelt on the ground without saying a word.

It was because of saving him that his grandfather and brother-in-law gave Zhang Jingchuan 10,000 warhorses, which Zhang Jingchuan used to conquer Phoenix City.

Therefore,

The loss of Phoenix is most directly related to Rolohun.

however,

Tong Puhan was not surprised by the loss of Phoenix City, but warned, "Hauge must not find out about the warhorses, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

at this time,

Hauge stormed in, angrily demanding, "Where did Zhang Jingchuan get these ten thousand cavalrymen? Did they fall from the sky?!"

Hauge had a fiery temper, so his words were naturally not directed at Daishan.

But the implication is that...

While we were holding back the Ming troops in Gaizhouwei, Fuzhouwei, and Jinzhouwei, we had absolutely no idea about the Ming army's troop situation.

Phoenix is now lost.

Everyone here has a responsibility!

Haug glanced at Rolohun but said nothing.

All he knew was that Tong Puhan had spent 10,000 taels of silver to redeem it from the Ming army.

In Hauge's view, what right did a defeated general captured by the enemy have to spend 10,000 taels of silver to ransom him? Such a person was better off dead.

But with his grandfather, Prince Li Daishan, present, Hauge had no choice but to rein in his temper.

Dai Shan glanced at Tong Puhan and Luo Luohun, then said to Hauge in a deep voice:

"The fact that Phoenix City was so easily breached is only partly due to the Ming cavalry. I believe the main reason was the mutiny of the Goryeo soldiers within the city!"

Hauge frowned, looked at Daishan, and asked anxiously:

"The situation is dire; how does Your Highness intend to deal with it?"

"I hereby petition Your Majesty to urgently dispatch two cavalry units from Mongolia to reinforce Liaodong and counter the Ming cavalry!"

"What about Phoenix City...?" Haug asked worriedly.

Daishan pondered for a moment and said, "Most of the troops under your Plain Blue Banner are cavalry. I will also give you the cavalry from the Plain Red and Bordered Red Banners."

You only need to hold off the Ming cavalry over Phoenix City; you must not engage in a decisive battle.

As for Fuzhou Guard, I will think of another way.

Hopefully, His Majesty can capture Guangning soon!

After receiving the order, Hauge turned and left the city tower to mobilize his troops.

After Hauge left,

Dai Shan turned his gaze to Luo Luohun and said in a deep voice, "You have to find a way to earn back the reputation you've lost!"

A sinister smile appeared on Luo Luohun's face.

Said with hatred:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

This time,

I must make him Zhang Jingchuan.

"Pay the price in blood!"
