Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 215 The crown prince is born, Da Qi has a successor!

"Khan, according to the news from the detailed work, the grain and grass escorted by Zhao's leader are in Ningyuanwei."

Kak Duli cupped his hands and replied.

"Send the order and rest on the spot."

After a moment of silence, Huang Taiji opened his mouth and said: "In addition, let all the secret agents report the location of Zhao Liaojiao at any time."

"Khan, if Xi Zuo acts too frequently, it will attract the attention of Ming people, and then our arrangement will be ruined."

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Kak Duli's face changed slightly. He spent a lot of thought on arranging these detailed works at the beginning, and it took several years to lay out thousands of detailed works here. If the movements are too frequent, It must be discovered by the wise.

At that time, the Ming people will definitely clean up the secret works in various places on a large scale and take strict precautions. It will be difficult to arrange secret works here in the future.

"Just arrange it."

Hearing this, Huang Taiji just waved his hands blankly, he was naturally aware of this kind of thing, but whether he could kill the [-] cavalrymen of Zhao Shuijiao was related to whether they could stay in Guangningwei for a long time.

If the Ming army's logistics cannot be cut off and Yuan Chonghuan is forced to withdraw, then sooner or later they will be dragged to death by two-sided battles. They are no better than Daming. Liaodong cannot be kept, and neither can the grassland side.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Huang Taiji was determined, Kak Duli could only bow his hands in agreement.

...

On the other side, Zhao Liaojiao, who was in Ningyuanwei at this time, also received the news that Zu Dashou was intercepted, so he stopped at Ningyuanwei and dared not move.

.........

Dongchang Fort.

The faces of Yuan Chonghuan, Guo Qin, Zu Dashou, and He Kegang were all extremely gloomy, and the logistics were cut off. Huang Taiji stopped at Panshan post with the two flags of Zhengbai and Xiangbai.

"Jing Lue, I'm afraid this Huang Taiji is crazy."

He Kegang showed a worried expression. He has been in Liaodong for so many years, and he knows a lot about the Jurchens. If it is not necessary, the Jurchens rarely let the Eight Banners soldiers fight to the death. The Liao people drove in the front, and the Eight Banners soldiers were behind, in order to reduce losses.

But from intercepting Zu Dashou to being blocked in Panshan Post, under such circumstances, the losses of the Jurchens are unlikely to be less, which is unbelievable for the Jurchens, because the Jurchens simply can't afford it.

"Jinglue, do you want to go back to Guangningwei?"

Zu Dashou looked at Yuan Chonghuan. There are now 15 recruits and more than 5 guard soldiers in Liaodong. The big castle is not bad, if you want to rely on them to drive Huang Taiji out of Guangningwei, that is a fool's dream.

"I'm afraid Huang Taiji also wants us to withdraw."

Hearing Zu Dashou's words, Yuan Chonghuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Zu Dashou and He Kegang listen to the order, you two lead fifty thousand troops back to aid Guangning Guard."

Although he didn't know why Huang Taiji went crazy, but the more Huang Taiji wanted him to do, the more he couldn't do it.

"The last general takes orders!"

Zu Dashou and He Kegang agreed with each other.

...

As Zu Dashou and He Kegang led their troops back to aid, the entire Guangning Guard became a mess. Relying on the speed advantage of the cavalry, Huang Taiji easily broke through the encirclement before being encircled, and returned to the grassland safe and sound.

But more than ten days later, they broke into the side wall again from other places, and the hundreds of miles of defense line from Ningyuanwei to Guangningwei completely became a sieve, unable to stop Huang Taiji's footsteps at all.

Dasheng Fort.

The gates of the fortress, which was originally closed, were now open, and behind the gates lay corpses, blood staining the ground and the creek.

In the city, countless Jurchen cavalry tortured and killed the Liao people in the city like evil spirits. There were endless screams, accompanied by the wild laughter of the Jurchen cavalry.

"Send the order to go down, set fire, and then retreat to the grassland."

Looking at the horrific scene in the city, Huang Taiji was expressionless. He didn't want to do a massacre of the city. In the past two years, he has been trying to win the hearts of the Han people in Liaodong, because there are too few Jurchen clansmen. If the army wants to expand, either Either the Mongols, or the Han Chinese in Liaodong.

Most of the Mongols in Liaodong belong to the tribes of Monan, so it would be very difficult for him to recruit more Mongols, so he has been trying to find a way to pull their Han slaves from the banners to form the Han Eight Banners Army .

But now that Yuan Chonghuan refused to withdraw his troops, he had no choice but to massacre Yuan Chonghuan if he wanted to force Yuan Chonghuan to leave Liaodong. As long as enough people were killed, more people would impeach Yuan Chonghuan from the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, fires erupted from houses everywhere, and countless Jurchen cavalry also evacuated from Dasheng Fort.

When Zu Dashou arrived with soldiers and horses, the entire Dasheng Castle had already been engulfed in flames.

...

As time passed day by day, Huang Taiji led the cavalry of the two banners of Zhengbai and Xiangbai to burn, kill, loot and kill wantonly on the side wall hundreds of miles long.

In just a few months, Daxing Fort, Dafu Fort, Damao Fort, Tuanshan Fort, Dading Fort...

More than [-] castles were slaughtered, and tens of thousands of Liaodong Han people died under the butcher knife of the Jurchen!
All the other Liaodong Han people fled to the pass in horror, and more than [-] Liaodong Han people poured into Beizhili. For a while, the capital was shaken! !

.........

Jinan Fucheng.

In Zichen Palace, Su Hao practiced with his eyes closed, trying his best to refine the elixir in his stomach, while three natal paper figurines were immersing themselves in reviewing the memorial.

At this moment, Su Hao slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the stairs beside him. A young eunuch was slowly walking up under the leadership of the guards.

Seeing the little eunuch, Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. This little eunuch was sent by him to take care of Uncle Fu. Normally, if nothing happened, he would not leave Uncle Fu's side.

Seeing Su Hao, the little eunuch hurriedly walked in front of Su Hao, and said with surprise on his face: "My lord, Grandpa Fu asked me to report that the empress is about to give birth!"

Hearing this, Su Hao stood up abruptly. This matter is very important to him, and it is also very important to Da Qi. Having an heir means that the emperor has a successor, and it is also very important to the officials of Da Qi. It is also a reassurance.

Even if he really has three strengths and two weaknesses, the entire civil and military officials in Daqi still have a backbone, instead of falling apart immediately.

When Su Hao came to Qingning Palace, there were already many people around here, among them were old maids who had experience in delivering babies, and the imperial physicians who were waiting at the side. Going in with pots of hot water, the shouts in the room also rang out.

"Master."

Seeing Su Hao, Fu Bo rushed up to meet him.

"Forbe, is there anything wrong?"

Glancing at the guards and court ladies and eunuchs around Qingning Palace, Su Hao's expression was serious. Da Qi is a serious problem for Da Ming. Da Ming may not be willing to watch Da Qi stabilize internally.

He himself is not afraid of any assassination, after all with his strength, not many people can threaten him, but Ran Yan is different from the child, even a little bit of poison is enough to kill.

"Don't worry, young master,"

Hearing this, Fu Bo cupped his hands and said: "I have carefully checked all the people who enter the bedroom."

"Ah."

Su Hao nodded, then walked towards the room where Ran Yan was.

When he came outside the door, Su Hao couldn't help but get a little nervous when he heard the pain coming from the room. This is the first time he waited for a woman to give birth to a child in two lifetimes. It's impossible not to be nervous. of.

The news quickly spread outside the palace that the queen was about to give birth, and all the civil and military officials in Jinan Prefecture were also alarmed.

His Majesty is going to have an heir, which is good news for everyone.

The six ministers, the elders of the cabinet, and the left and right governors of the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies immediately ran into the palace, while the other courtiers waited quietly outside the palace. They also wanted to enter the palace, but they were not qualified.

In addition, Ran Yan's family also ran into the palace, and the patriarch Ran Mingyu was the first to arrive.

Outside the Qingning Palace, everyone is looking forward to it. Although Su Hao is indeed young, Su Hao has no heirs so far. Everyone is somewhat uneasy. Now that Su Hao's first heir is about to be born, For Daqi, this is a reassurance!

What's more, after many pulse checks by the imperial physician, it has been confirmed that the child in the queen's womb is a boy, and once the child is born, it will be the prince of Daqi.

In a pavilion not far from many civil and military ministers, both Zhuo Qingxuan and Liao Luxuan looked at Qingning Palace enviously. Although Su Hao did not neglect them, during the ten months of Ran Yan's pregnancy, Su Hao Hao would spend the night with them from time to time, but their stomachs never lived up to expectations.

So much so that the courtiers played one after another, making Su Hao start drafting again, so as to fill the harem and spread the branches and leaves for the Daqi royal family.

After waiting for more than an hour, the cry of the child and the cheers of the maids finally came from the room.

An old court lady rushed out of the room, knelt down in front of Su Hao, and said loudly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! Da Qi has a successor, and the empress gave birth to a dragon son!"

Hearing this, Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly asked: "How is the queen?"

The old maid hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the empress is all right now."

"Good! Good!"

Su Hao said happily: "Today, everyone will be rewarded. Everyone in the palace will be rewarded with wine and meat. This month's salary will be doubled!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, the old maid kowtowed quickly.

When Su Hao came outside the palace, Guo Hong, Jiang Shizhong, Zhou Xian, Hou Yuangao and others all came forward to congratulate: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Dear dear ministers, I have decreed that all officials will double their salaries this month, and my prince will be born, and all courtiers in the court will be rewarded. The cabinet will draw up a charter."

"The ministers obey the order."

Zhou Xian and Hou Yuangao, several cabinet elders, bowed and responded.

When the news of the empress giving birth to a dragon son spread outside the palace, the entire city of Jinan became lively. Not only the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for Su Hao's heir, but the people of Shandong were also waiting.

Although Daqi's taxation is not light, it is much lighter than that of Ming Dynasty. More importantly, Daqi only collects regular taxes and corvees, and there are no other exorbitant taxes. People's lives are not difficult, so no one thinks There must be an accident.

.........

Not to mention the festivities and liveliness here in Daqi, there are countless undercurrents surging in the capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and officials large and small in the capital are all focused on the direction of the palace.

What a big deal!

Dozens of castles in Liaodong were trapped, tens of thousands of Liaodong people were massacred, castles were burned, hundreds of thousands of Liaodong people poured into Beizhili, and the entire Jiliao region became a mess.

Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the mountain of impeachment transcripts on the book case, Zhu Youjian looked gloomy. He never thought that Yuan Chonghuan, instead of driving the Jurchens out of Liaodong in the past half a year, made such a big mess.

Tens of thousands of Liaodong people were killed, and more than [-] Liaodong people fled into the pass!
Down below, Cheng Jiming, Zhou Yanru, He Ruchong, Qian Xiangkun and other cabinet elders looked at Zhu Youjian's gloomy face and felt headaches.

In fact, three or four months ago, people from Liaodong fled into the pass one after another, but there were not many people at that time. Because the Jurchens entered the pass in Jiliao last year, many people fled to other places, and many fields were barren. , These common people can still find a place to make a living without much commotion.

However, in the past month or so, tens of thousands of people from Liaodong fled into the pass. Ji Liao couldn't afford to support so many people. The situation on the side is known.

"My dear friends, what do you think should be done?"

Zhu Youjian had a gloomy face. Yuan Chonghuan had played before, because he mobilized a large army to attack Haizhou Weicheng, causing the Jurchen to jump over the wall and rush into Guangningwei and Ningyuanwei to make trouble. He thought it was just an ordinary invasion, so in court When the ministers impeached Yuan Chonghuan, he just withheld it, who knew it would be so serious.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I think that the refugees who flood into the capital should be properly arranged first."

Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Cheng Jiming, as the chief assistant, could only agree with him.

Cheng Jiming's words made Zhu Youjian frown. He asked how to deal with Yuan Chonghuan, not the refugees.

But since Cheng Jiming has already said it, this problem cannot be ignored. After all, there are tens of thousands of people. Now those people rely on the capital to give them gruel to barely survive, and some people even kill and plunder outside the city. If so, the problem will only get worse.

More importantly, there is also a lack of food in the capital now. Tens of thousands of refugees have to consume [-] to [-] shi of food every month to feed them. The capital is simply unable to continue to bear the burden. Now the canal is controlled by Su Hao. If you go to Beijing, you have to get [-]% of the money drawn by Su Hao, it's all money.

Moreover, there is not enough land in the capital to support these tens of thousands of people. As for forcibly driving these people back to Liaodong, it is also impossible. Do you want to lose your reputation?

After a moment of silence, Zhu Youjian said: "Then, how do you Ai Qing think about resettling these refugees?"
