Win the Ding 1617

Chapter 624 Leading the way party, self-reliance or two heads out?

In my mind, I recalled the charming scene in the Sanguan Temple, the vigorous body that was completely different from that of the Central Plains women, galloping freely under my crotch like a young mare.In the blink of an eye, the subject and the guest shifted, from the knight to the driven, and the two bodies exchanged sweat and body fluids in this early summer season.

He started to be bolder, and peeked at the throne under the eaves of the Dazheng Hall, and saw the emperor sitting in the middle with a happy expression.He didn't need to secretly ask others, he just took a sneak peek and knew in his heart: the middle-aged woman sitting on the emperor's left must be the empress, and the beautiful young woman sitting on the right must be the favored Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace.He couldn't help sighing again in his heart that the Qing Dynasty still maintained the customs of the barbarians and was not a country of etiquette and music civilization.According to the Ming system, concubines will never leave the deep palace, and even trusted ministers cannot see them.Even if the empress dowager came to the court occasionally because her heir was young, she had to hang a bead curtain three feet in front of the throne, which was called "listening to the government through the curtain".She can see the officials from behind the curtain, but the officials cannot see her, how can she be like Manchu!He didn't dare to think too much, and warned himself in his heart that he must praise the "national customs", and he must never have the thought of emphasizing the Han over the Manchus, which would lead to the disaster of killing himself.

Hong Chengchou thought that although he was a surrender in this life, he was so favored and valued by the Qing Lord before he surrendered, so that his favorite concubine came down to the prison cell twice, personally serving soup, and softly persuading him to drink , and even the bountiful bodily alms to pull oneself back from the brink of death!This is really a rare blessing in a thousand years, and I should really be grateful.However, he thought again that the Lord Qing ordered Concubine Zhuang to do this must be extremely secret, if he leaked it in the future, or if he was even slightly disloyal to the Qing Dynasty, he would surely die; If there is regret, he will also have unforeseen disasters.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat on his back, and he didn't dare to peek at Concubine Zhuang again.

On the one hand, he pretended to appreciate the performance in the field.On the one hand, he slowly moved his gaze away, but he could not attract the attention of others.

Suddenly, his eyes collided with the same greedy and fierce eyes looking at Concubine Zhuang!The owner of that gaze was none other than Dorgon, Prince Rui, who was very popular right now, with a population of more than one hundred thousand soldiers and a lot of slaves!

There was a thump in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of mood came to his heart!A male animal's instinctive response to other males looking at their mate for courtship.Jealousy, preparing to fight back, etc., there is a deeper level, the impulse to show loyalty when a subject finds out that someone covets everything the emperor has.

However, what made his heart sink suddenly was another gaze that was equally unscrupulously cast on a noble lady in a banner dress beside Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace.That's Huang Taiji's queen, Concubine Zhuang's aunt Zhezhe!

The owner of this gaze is Dorgon's younger brother, Prince Yu Duoduo who is known as the absurd prince!

Although Zhe Zhe is over forty years old.But the charm still exists, people can vaguely see the elegance of Horqin's number one beauty back then.Duoduo lost his mother when he was young, and he had an Oedipus plot. Although this Zhezhe was a little older, he was a queen, graceful and luxurious, with his own charm and the charm of a mature woman.The temptation for young people like Duoduo is still great.

"Alas!" Facing the two brothers, Hong Chengchou had no choice but to retreat.He, a recent descendant, can't afford to mess with anyone.What's more.Among these nomadic fishing and hunting peoples, the father died, and the son inherited the tradition of his father's wives and concubines.Fathers are like this, let alone brother's woman?

Resisting the urge to complain about barbarians, Hong Chengchou cast his gaze on the pair of lions performing in the arena.

He also saw the ferocious "national custom" from the shape of the lion's head.He didn't dare to be picky in his heart, and followed his colleagues happily admiring "Lion Rolling Hydrangea".

After this grand and enthusiastic celebration, there were also many discussions.Rumors arose.Many princes and ministers of Manchuria discussed in private that Huang Taiji treated Hong Chengchou too seriously and rewarded him too generously.Some people even said: "After many years of hard work and bloodshed for the emperor, it is not as good as a minister of the Southern Dynasty who was captured alive and surrendered."There were more dissatisfied remarks, and some of them involved Concubine Zhuang disguised as a maidservant to give ginseng soup to Sanguan Temple.

Huang Taiji must quickly suppress these gossips.On this day, after the early sacrifice in Qingning Palace, Huang Taiji left some Manchu princes and Baylor to give him meat.These people have many military exploits and are enthusiastic about opening up the territory for the Qing Dynasty, wishing to swallow half of China as soon as possible.After eating the meat, Huang Taiji asked them: "We have not avoided the wind and rain for many years. We have been willing to risk arrows and stones. We have sent troops into the territory of the Ming Dynasty several times. Recently, we have captured the four cities of Songshan, Jinzhou, Xingshan and Tashan. What is the reason?"

The crowd replied, "It's because I want to win the Central Plains."

Huang Taiji nodded with a smile and said: "That's right. For example, a group of people walking, you are all blind, rushing around. Now I have a guide, how can I not be happy? How can I not reward him heavily, so that the He works for me? Hong Chengchou is a very good guide, understand?"

Everyone replied: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Huang Taiji laughed loudly and waved everyone to quit.

A few days later, in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion, the princes, ministers, Manchu and Han officials of the Qing Dynasty gathered here, and today they will hold a court meeting here.After the Songjin-Guangning War, there is some calculation about where the Qing Dynasty should go.

Although there are many crowns and crowns, everyone knows that only the emperor Huang Taiji himself, Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Yu Duoduo brothers, and Hong Chengchou, who has just surrendered and has not yet been assigned a position, are the only ones who have the right to speak. .

Looking at the group of princes and ministers, civil and military officials under him, and the full-bodied air of nouveau riche on their faces, Huang Taiji couldn't help but sneered in his heart, "A group of short-sighted people!" When seeing the most upstarts in his heart, seeing their plain expressions, Huang Taiji suddenly felt that those short-sighted guys were so cute.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Huang Taiji set the tone for this court meeting: "The Southern Dynasty will definitely continue to conquer, but after successive wars, the country also needs to recuperate, and our Eight Banners soldiers need to recharge their batteries. Therefore, too much Don’t mention it again today if you’re so serious.”

In order to add persuasiveness to his words, under the hint of Huang Taiji, Hubu Chengzheng stood up and reported the losses and seizures of the Western Liaoning War for everyone present.

but.Before reporting the number of seizures, he threw out a sentence, which made everyone feel shocked.

"Although we are called victorious, we are actually worse than the defeated Ming army!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a boiling oil pan, which aroused huge repercussions.In front of the originally quiet and solemn Ten Kings Pavilion.It immediately became noisy like a market.

The princes and banner owners of Baylor are a little confused!We obviously won a big battle and defeated the nine generals of the Ming Dynasty, even the governor of Jiliao of the Ming Dynasty has become a slave in front of the emperor. How can we say that we are worse than the Ming army? !

The Household Department Chengzheng is also a courageous person. Facing the accusations from everyone, he has no fear, and fluently reported a series of numbers: "Prince Yu, in the battle of Tashan, he was beheaded and shot. And from the stumps collected on the battlefield, it can be inferred that the daughter of Uncle Ning Yuan lost about 4000 people, was there a mistake?" Facing this figure that was very close to his own military newspaper, he shouted the most The strong Duoduo could only snort in his nose, which was regarded as an answer.

"However, Prince Rui, you blocked Li Huamei's scarlet-winged tiger in the Tashan and Songshan areas, but you lost [-] soldiers, horses and slaves!" For this figure.The generals of the two white flags immediately drooped their heads like deflated balls.

"Western Liaoning. Jinzhou, Guangning, several wars, Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, and preliminary statistics of the Han Army Banner, the loss is around 3 people."

"Wu Sangui Shilang and two Nikans plundered all the cities in the south of Liaoning and took away the young men at [-]!"

"There are also more than [-] other lost populations, totaling more than [-]!"

"All of the above. Adding up all the losses, my Qing Dynasty estimates a total loss of about 15! These numbers have not included the various ministries of the Outer Domain Mongolia and the Korean Army."

If the household department takes over the government, the originally noisy Ten Kings Pavilion will become as quiet as an ancient temple in a deep mountain.If there are a few more crows flying by, it can be used as a set for the theme of Liaozhai.

"The battle of Guangning. Although my Qing Dynasty harvested a lot and seized a lot of food, grass and equipment. But after careful calculation, the Lord may not be able to make up for the above losses! The population obtained is mainly from the young and strong of the Ming army, which is only 8 to [-] people. !"

Although the seized materials, money, food, weapons, knives and guns are not small, if you look at it on the big plate of the entire Qing Dynasty, it is beyond the means.Among other things, more than a dozen cities in southern Liaoning were set on fire by Wu Sangui and Shi Lang. "

The words of Hubu Zhengzheng were like a volley of firecrackers, hitting the hearts of the princes Baylor round after round, making them terrified, and making them want to go forward and strangle the guy who reported the funeral, but , The bloody and painful facts are there!On the Liaodong Peninsula, the old capital of Liaoyang is basically in ruins.Almost all the steel-making and iron-smelting furnaces outside Liaoyang City were destroyed. Fortunately, Chen Banda made a decisive decision and withdrew all the craftsmen into Liaoyang City in time, and the craftsmen suffered no loss.

The strong population can be supplemented by captives, and if it is impossible to go south to grab it, if these guys who know how to forge guns and smelt steel suffer losses, I am afraid that the blow to the Qing Dynasty will be far greater than the simple loss of young and strong population.

When many people were suffering from these huge loss figures, suddenly, there was a burst of wailing in the queue of the two red flags.

But it was Mele Zhangjing who was ordered to reinforce Liaoyang and pursue the retreating troops of Wu Sangui and Shi Lang.

"Your Majesty, you must avenge the slaves in southern Liaoning. Shi Lang and Wu Sangui are so cruel. Ding Zhuang, old and young, were wiped out in southern Liaoning. Han people can still be transported to the south to work. Our Eight Banners Almost all of our slaves were killed. And the methods were extremely cruel. According to the living slaves, some slaves did not surrender, and those two dog days of Nikan nailed our slaves to the road to make way for them. On the road by the sea, there is nothing but blood and flesh, that scene, the slave also followed Tianming Khan several times to send troops and free horses, and climbed out of the pile of dead people, but he has never seen such a scene before, it is simply horrible!"

The bloody and tearful accusation of Meile Zhangjing immediately aroused the sympathy of everyone present.The Eight Banners' queue couldn't help but burst into voices of cursing. They hated Shi Lang and Wu Sangui's actions from the bottom of their hearts, even though they had done this countless times in Liaodong and in the pass.But when they become captives trembling under someone else's knife, and enjoy the deadly pleasure of not knowing when they will die, they will still naturally feel that the opponent is too cruel.Just like a certain oriental island country later.I always say that I am the only country that has been bombed by atomic bombs. When I have nothing to do, I will make a movie about the son of the atomic bomb to make some sensational, bitter, and tragic, but I don’t tell others why you are the only ones who enjoy the second child of mankind. , The actual operation of the third atomic bomb?

The blizzard that fell five feet overnight certainly helped the Liao thieves a lot, and created a huge obstacle to Shi Lang and Wu Sangui's offensive on the Liaodong Peninsula.Let these two experience the difficulty of winning the cannon king more than 200 years in advance.But everything has his two sides.This heavy snow also dealt a huge blow to the Liao thieves.

In addition to helping to block Wu Sangui's offensive, the snow disaster left Liao thieves with more disasters such as snowmelt floods and spring floods.Before this, the shortage of food and fuel is enough.According to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the loss of other local populations, many people died of cold and hunger in the southern Liaoning area.The Steppenwolves froze to death, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind by these Liao thieves?It should be noted that in the minds of the Liao thieves, the sea was the best barrier for the Qing Dynasty after beating Governor Yuan and killing the arrogant Mao Wenlong who harassed the rear from time to time from the sea.The Liaodong Peninsula is the most reliable rear. Who would have thought that the enemy would come from the sea?

Huang Taiji's face was also gloomy, thinking of the loss of those population cities, he couldn't help feeling dizzy before his eyes and cramping in his heart.However, as the supreme leader, he must make sure that the mountain collapses before his face remains unchanged.Trying to calm down his emotions, he said in an almost weird calm tone: "Don't be sad, everyone. The two thieves Wu Sangui and Shilang have done a lot of evil. They don't think that God has the virtue of good life to wantonly slaughter our good people in the Qing Dynasty. They will be punished by the heavens. Disgusted! Otherwise, how could Goddess Fokulun send down heavy snow to punish these two thieves? Although they are alive now, they are only lingering, and Goddess Fokulun will naturally take their lives when she recovers her mana. The most urgent task now is to let my Qing Dynasty recuperate as soon as possible Eli will fight again."

"I have an idea. Now the north and the south have temporarily suspended their troops. Raising troops is temporarily useless. I serve as soldiers during the Eight Banners wars and serve the people in peacetime. Since there is a shortage of people in southern Liaoning, it is better to disperse the slaves of various ministries to various places in southern Liaoning for production. The burden of food and wages, the second is to resume production in southern Liaoning. Anyone who goes to southern Liaoning will be given rations, seeds, farm tools and land, and the houses will be built by themselves. After completion, they will all be owned by individuals. I believe that in a few years, southern Liaoning will surely regain its vitality."

After saying these words, it was easy for others to talk, Dorgon couldn't help cursing inwardly: You really are scheming, you fat black man, do you think I can't see it?This is clearly a disguised deprivation of the military power in the hands of each banner owner!If you do what you say, then most of the slaves in each banner will be transferred to farmland!Those slaves of my two white flags, it's okay to say for a while, for a long time, who will recognize me as Prince Rui, no, they can't let the fat man get his wish.

He was trying his best to find a reason to reject Huang Taiji's idea calmly, but Huang Taiji named Hong Chengchou to express his opinion freely.

"Your Majesty, from what I have seen and what your Majesty said, it can be summed up in terms of ordering the army, winning people's hearts, strengthening the army, thriving merchants, recuperating, and resuming production!"

Hong Chengchou's words immediately brought a smile to Huang Taiji's black face, and Dorgon's fast-moving mind immediately found a breakthrough from Hong Chengchou's words.

"There are three hidden worries in the Southern Dynasties: taxation, thieves, and Li Shouhan. Needless to say, taxes have been increased since the Wanli period. , There is a faint trend of dividing land and territory. Li Shouhan is a person I can't see through, but his actions are bold and strong, and his actions are often unexpected. The Southern Dynasty now has two business districts located in Tianjin and Shanghai counties, and in Shandong and Denglai. The Daxing villages in other places are vaguely confronting our Qing Dynasty across the sea. Such actions can be regarded as Cao Cao alive in any dynasty. Therefore, regardless of his loyalty and treachery, he will be a domestic trouble for the Ming Dynasty for a long time. There are these three worries in the Southern Dynasties , How can Emperor Chongzhen be at ease? It is bound to be reconciled and maintained. If the emperor thinks this way, the party struggle in the court will inevitably be unstoppable, and the matter of money and grain will inevitably be short-lived all the year round. Therefore, although there are three strong armies, it is difficult to twist them into one Sheng is our enemy against the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty only needs to use peace talks as a means to prevent him from attacking our country wholeheartedly. In the long run, there will be civil strife in the southern dynasty. At that time, our country will take the opportunity to go south, and great things will be accomplished."

"Mr. Hong, there are still three strong soldiers in the Southern Dynasty?" Shuo Tuo, the leader of Zhenghong Banner Manchurian Banner, didn't understand anything else, but what Hong Chengchou said about the three strong troops really scared him a lot Jump.

"That's right!" Hong Chengchou enjoyed the surprised eyes of the leaders of the Liao thieves. From their expressions, he seemed to have found the feeling of being a supervisor and holding a heavy soldier.

"In addition to the Southern Guangdong Army under Uncle Ning Yuan's command, there are now two more troops in the Ming Dynasty. One is Chongzhen's housekeeping force Jingying. The other is Wu Sangui's Ningyuan Army, which is very close to us. .” (To be continued..)
