Chapter 375
Yongzheng's resolute attitude doomed the final result of this matter. More than [-] soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army, together with their impostors, will be executed by military law. The subordinates are all connected with each other, so there is a lot of discussion in the capital, and people's minds are confused.

It's just that no matter how loud the thumping movement was, when it gathered at Yongzheng's side, it was just a minister's soft-spoken remonstrance, which had no effect at all.Especially for an emperor like Yongzheng, if he has made up his mind, it will be useless if the king of heaven comes.

The beheading of 600 people was a major event in all dynasties, and it was no exception in the Qing Dynasty.Although the people in the capital are used to the news that the army was wiped out at the front line, they are also used to the dead—but it was indeed the first time to see such a large-scale beheading of people, especially those noble Eight Banners children.

Therefore, on the day of the execution, people gathered to watch the excitement on the edge of the execution ground at Caishikou. How did the Eight Banners disciples lose their lives.

In addition to Laidu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, Narsu, the king of Pingjun, and Tuolai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, were in charge of supervising the beheading. The three of them looked serious. Looking at the prisoners who were escorted into the execution ground, they sighed in unison and finally killed them. It's my own family, it's really unmotivating.

For these three, although more than 600 people were beheaded, only the 300-odd Eight Banners were their own people, and the other 300-odd impostors were not.

Naturally, more than 600 people will not be beheaded at the same time, but executed in batches. They have violated the military law, and they have already been in a state of panic all day long. In this environment, it seems that no one can smell it at all.

"It's noon, execution!"

Lai Du, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, threw down his arrows, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Even though these people were violating the laws of the country, it was indeed too cruel to kill them like this. It was just an order from the emperor, and no one dared to refute it.

After seeing Lai Du's order, there was a burst of crying on the execution ground, especially those Han people who wanted to make money. Yes, it's just that at this point, it's useless to cry for grievances.
With a flash of saber light, the people around the execution ground cheered loudly as if they were celebrating the New Year, good kill!It's a good time to kill!

These high-ranking people in the past should be killed!
King Pingjun looked at the bloody scene on the execution ground, but he was secretly worried. This time it was entirely the result of Emperor Yongzheng's arbitrariness. It also caused a lot of criticism within the Eight Banners. It's just that Yongzheng is still in power now. If things go wrong in the future, I am afraid that the first one to backlash is the Eight Banners themselves.
On December 23, the city of Xi'an was snowed heavily, and it was a rare scene for poets, but for the righteous soldiers guarding the city, it was no less than purgatory on earth.

Counting from the end of November, Nian Gengyao has been besieging Xi'an for a full month. During this month, the Qing army launched nearly a hundred attacks on the city of Xi'an. No less than ten times, but these attacks were eventually suppressed by the Dayi Army.

Of course, it was supported by human lives.At this stage of the fight, the Xi'an defenders suffered more than 1 casualties, while the Qing army suffered more than [-] casualties. The gap between the two sides is too far, and it is almost incomparable from training to weapons.The most important thing is that a large part of the casualties of the Dayi Army were veterans.If all the veterans were killed or injured, it would be difficult to defend the city with the remaining recruits alone.

In addition, even in terms of food and grass, Xi'an City does not have a clear advantage, because before that, Xi'an City has experienced a major war, and the food storage has been exhausted, so that today's Xi'an City is somewhat defensive. It's crumbling.

The most important thing is that in terms of morale, the Dayi Army has become somewhat sluggish, and the Qing army has Nian Gengyao's promise that as long as they take down Xi'an City, the rich and wealthy women in the city can take it for themselves, so the morale of the Qing army is extremely high , It is almost desperate to fight.

Liu Ruhan stood on the top of the wall, with white cloth wrapped around his arms. This was because an arrow was shot in the previous battle, but luckily it was not a bird gun. Coupled with the timely treatment, there was no serious problem. However, it can also be seen from this that the previous battle It was so dangerous that even he himself had to go up to the top of the city to boost morale, so he persisted.

"Your Highness, King of Han, it's windy on the top of the city, it's better to go back to the palace. Cough cough."

Xue Guan stood aside with his head slightly lowered, giving instructions in a low voice, but when he was talking, he coughed violently a few times, and then tried to catch his breath, trying to even out the breath.

Liu Ruhan looked at this courtier, and couldn't help showing a bit of worry on his face, "Gu has been marching and fighting all year round, and he is used to the wind and snow, but Xue Qing is a scholar, so he should pay more attention to his body."

There was a bitter smile on Xue Guan's face, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm such an old bone, sooner or later I have to go down to see the King of Hades, but I'm really a bit unwilling to see the King ascending the throne yet."

When Liu Ruhan heard what Xue Guan said, he felt a little embarrassed. According to the original plan, he would stand on his own after taking down Guanzhong. He lost the opportunity, but was beaten into a mess, so much so that when he thought about enthroning again, it seemed like a lifetime away.

"What's their attitude?"

Liu Ruhan asked without thinking, but Xue Guan understood what King Han meant, it was nothing more than sending him to Ning Chu and Chen Daoxian for help.

"Ning Chu's side means that the main force is still gathering, let the king hold on for a while. Chen Daoxian said nicely, claiming that he would come to help quickly, but his strength is not enough, and he can't match the five thousand Qing soldiers in Xinglin Town."

There was a trace of sadness on Xue Guan's face, Chen Daoxian was obviously the first and last of Ning Chu's case, but in the end he still had to ask them for support, it was like slapping the right cheek after the left cheek was slapped.

"For Ning Chu, Gu underestimated them after all."

Liu Ruhan looked at the Qing army camp below the city, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind.

"Gu's nephew committed suicide and his head was sent to Nanjing."

Xue Guan was stunned for a moment. He was on an envoy to Ning Chu with Liu Ruhan's nephew Liu Zhao, but because of Chen Caiwei's incident, he offended the Duke of Han Yang at that time, who is also the current emperor of Ning Chu, Ning Yu. Therefore, now Liu Ruhan gave Liu Zhao's head to Ning Yu's attitude is already very obvious.

Regardless of whether Ning Yu continues to blame, Liu Ruhan has already expressed his attitude. As long as he can send troops to rescue, Xue Guan will not even doubt Liu Zhao's head. As long as Ning Yu still remembers this matter, even if it is Liu Ruhan's own son, he will not hesitate!

Liu Ruhan heaved a long sigh, looked at Xue Guan's eyes with a bit of inexplicable taste, "Xue Qing, now to make Chen Daoxian believe in Gu's sincerity, you still need to make a certain sacrifice, do you understand?"

Xue Guan was stunned, he naturally understood what Liu Ruhan meant. If there was anyone among the people Chen Daoxian hated the most, Xue Guan would definitely be in the top three. If he hadn't chosen to betray Liu Ruhan back then, Chen Daoxian wouldn't have lost so badly , and even almost failed to keep his own daughter. Chen Daoxian will never forget such a painful lesson.

Now the two sides belong to different camps, but Liu Ruhan wants to ask Chen Daoxian, so Xue Guan's head is the best sincerity.Don't talk about being kind or not, Liu Ruhan can even sacrifice his own nephew, let alone Xue Guan?
"Xue Qing, I have wronged you this time. Gu will never forget your achievements, nor will you forget your sacrifice for the Great Rebel Army."

"Come on, send Xue Qing on the road!"

In Fengtian Hall, Ning Yu sat on the dragon chair, looking at the beaming civil and military officials below, he couldn't help showing a little smile on his face.

The first year of innovation came to an end, and in this year, Ning Chu completed the most crucial step of laying the foundation, and also realized the unification of the south more than half a year ahead of schedule. This is also a great event worth celebrating.

The palace of monarchs and ministers, together with joy and harmony, accompanied by singing and dancing, dazzled the generals fighting on the battlefield, but for Ning Yu, it was extremely boring. After all, after experiencing the prosperous life of later generations, for this era The entertainment items are not so cold.

Speaking of which, in the early 18th century, apart from going out early and working hard every day, the rest of the entertainment life was basically making babies, or eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, except for a small number of cultural people. Looking at the novels, other time periods are very boring.

Of course, Ning Yu is gradually getting used to this kind of life, and he doesn't feel sad at all. It's just that when he thinks that more than a dozen newspapers will be published in the spring of next year, he is somewhat looking forward to it. He doesn't expect people's thinking to be active this year. Where to go, but as long as a platform is provided, there should be some new changes in the future.

Ning Yu even imagined that those popular folk novels could be moved to newspapers, which can enrich everyone's entertainment content and make newspapers more popular in people's lives.Because if newspapers only contain major national events, then there is not much temptation for ordinary people. On the contrary, novels can naturally attract ordinary people.

Maybe in the future I can also change my appearance, sort out some classic novels from my previous life, and publish them.
Just thinking about it, Ning Yu shook his head with a wry smile. He doesn't have so much time right now. Leaving aside the major events of the Northern Expedition, even the game with the officials and gentry has only just begun.
But for Ning Yu, there is really good news right now. It comes from the Northern Sect of the Kong family in Qufu, Shandong. After they knew that Kong Yuxun was captured by the Han army, they also sent people to contact him. Changing the boat, I hope that Ning Chu can accept it, and it is best to continue to be this Yan Shenggong safely.

Regarding Beizong's idea, Ning Yu naturally would not choose to agree, and asked people to pass on the opinions that Kong Yuxun had told Kong Yuxun at the beginning. First, the Kong family must accept the implementation of the New Deal and must not choose to defy it; During the Northern Expedition, we should cooperate and not choose to disobey.

Only after these two steps are completed, can the rest be discussed, otherwise they will be Ning Chu's enemy.

Perhaps the Kong family would still hesitate, but after Ning Chu had finished integrating the south, it would be too late for them to hesitate. By then, the Northern Expedition of the Fuhan Army would have been completed, so there was no need to talk about it.

Everyone drank too much, and even Ning Yu drank a few more glasses, but it was not a high-alcohol liquor, but a warmer imperial rice wine, which was more flavorful in winter, but it didn't feel drunk when drinking. When Ning Yu returned to the harem, the alcohol level increased, and he was a little excited.

Chen Caiwei has been pregnant for three months now, and her belly has grown significantly. Seeing that Ning Yu smelled of alcohol, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she whispered to the maid beside her.

"Serve His Majesty to take a bath, and then serve a bowl of hangover soup."

When she was not pregnant in the past, she did all these things herself, but now that she is pregnant, it is not easy to do it herself, but the worry in her heart is a little more.

After Ning Yu took a bath, Chen Caiwei brought hangover soup, and she personally held the silver spoon and fed it to Ning Yu little by little. At this time, Ning Yu had already sobered up a lot, but she grabbed Chen Caiwei's moon-like wrist, and did not Talking, just looking at her face affectionately.

Seeing Ning Yu's appearance touched the little woman in Chen Caiwei's heart, she lowered her head shyly, "Your Majesty, why do you look at me like this?"

Ning Yu had a smile on his face, "Caiwei, I have some good news for you."

"Could it be?" Chen Caiwei guessed a possibility, and her whole body trembled slightly.

"That's right, your father, Chen Daoxian, is out of danger now. If everything goes well, he will come to Nanjing to see you in the spring of next year at the latest. If it doesn't go well, it won't be later than summer."

Ning Yu had a bit of a smile on his face, this is no longer a secret, so it's okay to talk about it, especially at this time, telling Chen Caiwei such a good news can also make her worry a lot less.

Chen Caiwei raised her small face, only to see two lines of tears hanging on her face, which made me feel rather pitiful, "This time Caiwei thanked His Majesty, if my father can return safely, Caiwei will feel much better All of this depends on His Majesty to have today."

"Silly girl"

Ning Yu had a slight smile on his face. For him, even though he had become an emperor and was used to conspiracies and tricks, he always had some attachment to family affection.
