The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Time flies to the end of December in the seventh year of Qianyuan.

This year's year-end summary work has ended, and only some finishing work is left. In addition, with the secretariat helping to deal with those trivial government affairs, Liu Sheng was free in advance.

There was a heavy snowfall two days ago, with nearly a foot of snow covering Nanjing.

Nowadays, people in Nanjing are living a good life, and officials have already taken measures to deal with the snowstorm. Moreover, less than a foot of snow is not enough to cause a snow disaster here.

As for winter disasters in other provinces, there must be some, but local officials have to deal with them. As the emperor, Liu Sheng cannot go to various places to personally handle them.

Seeing that the weather was fine today, he took several concubines and his children to build snowmen and have snowball fights in the open space of the palace.

He is usually busy with government affairs and does not spend much time with his children.

Besides, given his status, he can only play with the children while they are still young. When the children grow up, it will no longer be like this.

"Father, look at me!"

Liu Yao, the eldest daughter of the emperor, who was five or six years old, said hello and threw a small snowball over.

Liu Sheng reached out and grabbed it and threw it back.

"Wow, my father is so powerful!"

Next to them, the three or four-year-old second daughter Liu Zhu (born by Li Fei Xu Wan) and third daughter Liu Shan (born by Concubine An Zheng Haizhu) clapped their hands happily when they saw it.

The younger Liu Shan danced the most happily, but accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, there was a lot of snow on the ground, so she didn't feel any pain from the fall, nor did she cry, and she just got up.

On the other side, the eldest son Liu Rui, who is six or seven years old, the second son Liu Yu (born by Li Xiangyun), who is four or five years old, the third son Liu Heng (born by Bai Taiwei), and the fourth son Liu Jing (born by Li Lingfei) who is over three years old. ), they are building a snowman.

Liu Rui and Liu Jing piled one pile, and Liu Yu and Liu Heng piled one pile. They were all piled up in a decent manner.

Liu Yao threw several snowballs in a row. Seeing that they couldn't hit Liu Sheng at all, she suddenly changed her target and threw the snowballs at Liu Rui's snowman.

Upon seeing this, Liu Rui quickly blocked him.

Liu Jing picked up a snowball and threw it at Liu Yao.

Unfortunately, he was too young and wore too many clothes. The snowball was only thrown a few steps away and could not hit Liu Yao at all. Instead, it made Liu Yao laugh.

Not far away, Liu Sheng's concubines were much quieter, but seeing the children playing, they all had smiles on their faces.

Even Xu Wan, who has been relatively dull in recent years, is no exception.

The red lady wanted to have some fun, but she was worried about the presence of several other concubines, so she couldn't let go of her figure - she was actually as lively and active as Liu Yao when she was a child, like a naughty boy.

As for the fifth son of the emperor, Liu Chen (born by Bai Taiwei), he was also over three years old. He had been coughing for the past two days, so Bai Taiwei did not dare to let him out to play.

The sixth son of the emperor, Liu Wei, was the youngest, only one or two years old, and was also weak, so he also stayed in the house.

Liu Sheng saw that the red lady was determined to end, so he went over and took her to have a snowball fight with her.

Soon, several concubines joined in.

It's just that except for the Red Lady and Zheng Haizhu, the others are very polite and have extremely weak fighting power.

Finally, the children also joined in, and they were divided into men and women, and they fought back and forth with bursts of laughter.

After playing for more than half an hour, when the children were tired and resting, the guards informed that Li Jinshui, the commander of the Xunfeng Guards, asked to see them.

Liu Sheng immediately went to Tianxin Palace and met Li Jinshui.

"Your Majesty, our senior spies stationed in the Qing Dynasty have reported back that the Qing prisoners are preparing to escape."

After Li Jinshui finished speaking, he presented the memorial compiled from the relevant information.

After Liu Sheng saw it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

According to the news sent back by the Xunfengwei spies, the Qing prisoners couldn't help but want to escape, and they also had some ideas for their escape route. Dorgon was going to take people across the sea to Japan, while Hauge was going to the west via Mobei Mongolia.

"It's quite interesting."

After putting down the memorial, Liu Sheng couldn't help but said to himself.

Seeing that Li Jinshui was still standing in the hall, Liu Sheng thought for a while and ordered: "Let the people over there continue to keep an eye on the Qinglu's movements and report important information as usual."

"Yes." Li Jinshui cupped his hands and responded, "I'm leaving."

After Li Jinshui left, Liu Sheng couldn't help but rub the beard on his chin and think deeply.

Now that he has learned that the Qing Dynasty is planning to flee in two ways, he can naturally intercept it if he is willing.

An elite force can be mobilized from the Victory Guard to destroy the Vladivostok Shipyard and the ships there. In the future, the navy can also be sent to intercept the Qing navy in the Sea of ​​Japan in later generations.

As for Hauge, just a few elite soldiers chasing him all the way would be enough for them.

But Liu Sheng thought about it and felt that it was too boring to do so.

Instead, he wanted to see what would happen after Dorgon and Haoge fled to their destinations, and how far the Qing Dynasty could develop after the separation.

In addition, in the future, Da'ei will have another name for attacking Japan and conquering the west.

After all, Qing captives were strictly speaking rebels of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Damei inherited the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, it was appropriate to pursue and suppress the rebels of the Qing Dynasty.

Immediately, Liu Sheng thought of Li Zicheng in the west from Dorgon and others.

In the past two years, as the Da'ei court speculated, after Li Shun captured the Turpan Basin, he began to attack the Yarkant's homeland, which was later known as Ili, Urumqi, Kashgar and other places in Western Xinjiang.

However, this area has been ruled by the Yarkants for hundreds of years, and their power is deeply rooted.

In addition, Ye Erqiang was prepared, and the soldiers and civilians were extremely tenacious in resisting his subordinates.

Even relying on the geographical advantage, they fought back and forth with Shunjun.

Therefore, so far, Li Shun has only occupied about one-third of Western Xinjiang.

However, judging from Li Shun's current territory, it is not much smaller than Xixia in history.

This was naturally due to Liu Sheng's deliberate indulgence - he planned to recuperate for a year after cleaning up the Qing Dynasty before dealing with Li Zicheng.

By then, if Li Zicheng still cannot lead the Shun Army to establish a foothold in Western Xinjiang, he will not hold back.

···
It was late spring in the eighth year of Qianyuan.

After the spring plowing was over, Dayei once again sent troops to the northeast.

This time, the troops were still divided into two groups, advancing by land and water, but the goal was to destroy the Qing Dynasty.

Although the Qing army resisted quite tenaciously, Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheong Province, Jeolla Province, and Gyeongsang Province were successively captured by the Ei army within three months.

However, the Qing army then relied on the complex mountains and woodlands of Hamgyeong Province and Gangwon Province to launch multiple-resistance positional warfare and guerrilla warfare with the Yi army.

Coupled with the fact that the Yi army, under Liu Sheng's instruction, deliberately controlled the pace, the war slowly dragged on into early autumn.

This day.

After Hauge said goodbye to Dorgon and Jilhalang, he led the last group of people heading north, crossing the mountain trails in the west of Changbai Mountain from the north of Xianjing Road and entering the vast old forests of Northeast China.

As for Prince Li Mandahai, he headed north as a pioneer.

More than half a month later, Dorgon saw that almost all of Jiangyuan Province had fallen. In order to avoid being blocked by the Yi army in Xianjing, he took his close associates and the last group of Jurchens to be transferred to Vladivostok... ·(End of this chapter)
