golden scales

August of the 18th year of Chongzhen was spent in a series of news of victory.

Although there was such a small episode as Daomaguan-Tang County during the period, it was not deliberately mentioned in the "Huangming Bulletin", so it is not known to the world.Until the end of Wang Yi's review in September, he was awarded the third-class Medal of White Blade, and all other officers and soldiers who participated in the Battle of Tanghe were also awarded the third-class Medal of Courage and Bravery, and those who died in battle were posthumously awarded the Medal of Valor.

Only in this way can this tragic "little battle" be announced to the public.

The Jiangnan literati, who smelled the smell, were talking about military affairs on paper, and quite doubted the plot of Xiao Mo, the general under the command of the Eastern Palace.This kind of accusation and scolding is a good strategy in the officialdom, but before it grows up, the victory of the First Guards Division in the North Direct Company will be spread all over the country.

At the end of September in the 18th year of Chongzhen, it seemed that it was late autumn again.The Ming army prepared brand-new winter clothes of high quality early on, which made the green camp soldiers in the Qing army envious: the Qing army followed the principle of Manchurian supremacy in everything, and it would not be their turn to wait for the Manchu soldiers to change their winter clothes.

Moreover, the Manchurian soldiers may not be able to change all their outfits.

After the two lines of the canal and sea route were blocked, the capital and Beizhi did not receive the import of southern commodities for a whole year.As a country with extremely uneven regional development, the Ming Empire lacked the material resources to support large-scale wars in the north, and lacked sufficient human resources in the south.

Without Su Song's cotton cloth, even if the capital is willing to spend money to change clothes, the capital can't do it.

Aixinjueluo Fulin sat on the dragon chair in the Forbidden City, staring blankly at the civil and military officials below with sad faces, as if another important minister had died.

Standing at the head of the Manchu and Han courtiers, Dorgon looked particularly ugly, as if he was about to fall down at any moment.He has received a report from Tang that a Ming army has occupied Phi Island by sea.Quickly occupied several large islands in the Liaohai Sea, stationed troops to reclaim wasteland, built cities and forts, obviously planning to stay permanently.

And this time the Ming court is no longer affected by the generals in western Liaoning, or dragged down, and they will be supplied with supplies.Even the bricks were shipped from Shandong and Jiangnan, and the support was unprecedented.

The central government of the Qing court immediately mobilized the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Shengjing, and even teenagers aged 1 or [-] were included in the recruitment. Even so, only [-] troops were collected.This team of old and young people was ordered to go to Lushun to ensure that Lushun was not lost.Although Dorgon hadn't got the recent situation of Lushun, but if the Ming army crossed the sea with such a mighty force, they would definitely not leave Lushun alone.

"The Ming court has only a few elite soldiers, so how can there be any reason why there are elite soldiers everywhere? Since they divided their forces in Liaodong, it is a great time for Beizhi to reverse. It is time to order Abatai and Hong Chengchou to quickly advance and defeat the Ming army!" Dole Dagon stood in the hall and said loudly.

Everyone knows that the current government affairs come from Prince Rui's residence, and the court is just a formality, so there is no reason to question it.

"What Uncle Wang said is very true." An indistinguishable male and female voice fell, and it turned out to be Fulin who was only seven years old.

Although it was an agreement, it was the first time that the little emperor expressed his opinion in the court.Dorgon looked at his nephew warily, only to see that Fulin really spoke again: "Uncle Wang, do you want the ancestral mausoleum over there in Liaodong?"

A group of Manchu and Han ministers wept after hearing the words.It seems that something sad has been said, and the more courageous civil servants even praised it.It is said that the emperor is born with benevolence and filial piety.

Dorgon's face was livid, and he cursed secretly in his heart: the little baby with a bigger fart knows about the ancestral mausoleum!Wasn't it taught by someone in the harem?

Fulin was keenly aware of the unkindness in Uncle Wang's gaze, and there was a fearful look on his face.He didn't know what was wrong with his question, he just wanted to ask.As for the ancestral mausoleum, it is all due to the vague concept formed by kneeling all the way from the Temple of Heaven to the Taimiao after ascending to the throne.

As for the importance of the ancestor's mausoleum.Fulin was still ignorant.

"Who told His Majesty to say such things!" Dorgon finally couldn't help but asked sharply.

Fulin shook his head timidly, and said in a low voice, "I just thought of it..."

"Your Majesty will go to great lengths to fight for His Majesty's foundation, and I hope His Majesty will read more books, and don't be used by the traitors around you!" Dorgon didn't have the patience to reason with his nephew, and the tone had already been set in his words.

Fulin kept silent.He couldn't understand his casual question.What does it have to do with "traitors around me".Is there a traitor around me?Since there are traitors, and Uncle Wang has such great power, why not eradicate them?

Although his heart is full of doubts, Fulin is still a good and obedient boy.When he first arrived in Beijing, the palace took out a set of dragon robes and crowns, saying it was for him to salute when he ascended the throne.After he tried it on, he also found it quite interesting. The toga robe was broad and belted, solemn and solemn, and his energy was raised.

But then suddenly they were not allowed to wear them again, saying that they belonged to the Han people and had to follow the old Manchurian system.

Although Fulin was reluctant, he obeyed.

——You are so good, why do you still want to kill me?Am I not the emperor?

Fulin was puzzled, and planned to ask the queen mother after the court was over.Speaking of which, recently, the queen mother also sighed and said something about going back to her hometown.

The court meeting, which could have boosted morale, was disturbed by the little emperor, and Dorgon himself didn't want to stay any longer.After hastily finishing, Dorgon still went out of the palace, summoned his confidants in his palace, and conveyed the decree.

Sukesaha returned to Beijing, met his master, and said: "Master, there is no doubt that there is a mistake in dividing the army at the moment. It seems that it is difficult to maintain the north and the south at the same time, so we can only abandon one side."

Dorgon looked at Sukesaha gloomily.

Suksaha quickly lowered his head, knowing that he had touched the reverse scale.

Attacking from the north and defending from the south is the strategy set by Dorgon. Who would dare to say that the decision was wrong?

Although in fact it is.

There are few soldiers in Manchuria, and it is unreliable for the Han people to surrender their troops.As for the Han army flag, it was only used to set firearms at first.According to Huang Taiji, only those who are physically weak are selected as gunners, and their combat effectiveness is self-evident.

Moreover, the various ministries of Mongolia are somewhat loose.They fought the Ming court for 300 years, and the Ming court ignored them, which is equivalent to fighting them with one hand behind their backs for 300 years.This caused the Mongolian ministries to cast a shadow over Ming Dynasty.Without the support of the Manchurian soldiers, the Mongols might not even have the ability to enter and rob.

Thinking of the Mongols, Dorgon thought of the Mongolian cavalry who were defeated and surrendered at Daomaguan.Those cavalrymen were all Mongolian tribes from Horqin and Chahar, and among them were their Sifujin relatives.It is said that Daisen Dari is also a well-known little headman on the grassland.Unexpectedly, he was defeated by a hundred people from the Ming army.

And losing at the hands of a teenage lieutenant, the Ming army didn't even show up as a guerrilla general.

"If you abandon the south, you will lose your capital; if you abandon the north, you will lose your gains. Which side should you abandon?" Dorgon tried to ask in a calm voice, suppressing his headache.

"Master, according to our old rules. Only what you take home is what you get." Suksaha didn't dare to be reckless anymore, and said cautiously: "Now Beijing and Shanshan are not ours. Let's sweep around, as long as Being able to bring Ahha and property back to the outside of the pass is the number one achievement over the years."

There is a saying that two birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand. Hunters know that only the prey that has been peeled, deboned and stewed is the real prey.

Sukesaha's words made Dorgon feel a lot more relaxed, and many things would indeed have earth-shaking effects from another perspective.

For example, when Zhu Cihong was studying in his previous life, some people complained that the football field was too small, so the school changed it into two oversized basketball courts.No complaints since.

It is the same now.Judging from the fate of seizing people's land and destroying people's country, the Qing court seems to have failed.However, if you regard everything from last year to this year as "grabbing the west", it can be regarded as the most successful "grabbing the west" in history!

——It’s no wonder that the Han people say that the sea and the sky will be brighter if you take a step back. After you take a step back, the world will open up!

Dorgon suddenly felt that his headache was much better.

"But get out of the customs..." Dorgon hesitated again: "Will Zhu Shen agree?"

Suksaha showed a wry smile: Now who wants to stay in the pass and be precarious?Isn't it all about bringing more slaves and goods back to their hometown to live a good life?

After leaving the habitual operation of the Ming court, Beijing City, a metropolis with nearly a million people, has now become a garbage dump.

With the same urban layout, Ming people have the habit of sorting garbage: basically divided into two categories.What can rot and what can't.What cannot be rotted are all inorganic substances, transported away and landfilled to form mountains.Everything that can rot is organic.It is used for composting.As for the filth produced by the residents every day, it is a good fat for people to buy with copper coins.

As for which door, when people, goods, and garbage go, there are rules.It is these living habits that keep the city of Beijing functioning well and clean, with a population of over one million during the Wanli period.But there will be no crossflow of sewage and rampant plague.

Compared with the present, Beijing is like a big garbage dump, with mosquitoes and flies everywhere, and a strong or weak odor wafting all over the city.Under such hygienic conditions, no major epidemics broke out in May and June.It can be seen that God really prefers Manqing to grandma's house.

"Master, there are more than 30 people in Jierhalang in the west, and [-] people in Abatai and Hong Chengchou on the south road. With these [-] to [-] troops, there is still time to leave." Suksaha said: "Once it is clear If there are more troops, we may not be able to leave even if we want to."

"I want to go, who can stop me?" Dorgon didn't believe in evil.

Suksaha opened his mouth, and wanted to say: Why did the Ming army stop it?Wouldn't it be a better idea to nibble away at the back of the army?In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore.

"Two, 30 troops..." Dorgon suddenly had another idea: "Simply transfer all of them to the South Road, capture Jinan Mansion in one fell swoop, and let Emperor Zhu use his muscles again!

"Master, over there in Shengjing..."

Without waiting for Dorgon to consider the safety of Shengjing's lair, Geshha risked being beheaded and put two military newspapers sent at the same time on Dorgon's case.

Dorgon only read one headline, then stopped Sukesaha, and started to read the military newspaper first.

Sukesaha saw that Dorgon's eyes were sweeping, he quickly read the two Tang newspapers, and slapped them on the table heavily.His nostrils were dilated, and his teeth were clenched tightly, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he didn't say a word, he fell back straight and fell to the ground.
