Fan Wencheng said: "Is Lord Che Ke going to do Dong Guifei's funeral?" Cheke nodded. Fan Wencheng said again: "This is an errand assigned by the emperor." ”

Cheke nodded again. Fan Wencheng said: "Since this is the emperor's business, it is okay to let the people of the Internal Affairs Office give money." What's more, they are only procured by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Che Ke only needs to say that he is on an errand for the emperor and let them pay the money. I think they'll come out, and it won't make them bleed, just some loose silver. ”

Che Ke also understood at this time, and said: "This time Dong Guifei's funeral can be very grand if it can have a million taels. Let the eight of them spread it out, and each family will give more than 100,000 taels of silver. I don't think they're going to shirk it. ”

Che Ke got what he wanted, and immediately said goodbye to Fan Wencheng. Che Ke now has the confidence, and immediately went directly to the branch of the eight Jin merchants in the capital. Then he directly asked the shopkeeper of the semicolon to prepare the silver, and if he couldn't be the master, he immediately asked the eight masters to get up, but the silver could not be delayed.

With Che Ke's visit, these eight Jin merchants immediately moved. When the eight good masters heard this, someone actually asked the business for silver in such a tone, and they all rushed to the capital with great momentum.

As a result, when the eight shopkeepers rushed to the capital to take a look, they found that the person who came to ask for silver was the head of the imperial court. Immediately, he didn't have any confidence, so he naturally obediently gave the silver.

With Che Ke of the silver, he suddenly held a funeral for Concubine Dong E in the capital, and Shunzhi was also happy to see that Che Ke had really found the silver. Looking at the grand funeral, Shunzhi was also relieved, and then turned to urge all armies to step up their marches so as to exterminate the traitors in Sichuan as soon as possible.

On March 24, Shunzhi issued a decree in Beijing. On the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, there was no news of the attack on Sichuan by the army, but the urgent report of Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, and Chen Jixin, the governor of Shaanxi.

Bai Rumei reported that on March 20, the Sichuan Restoration Army, which had been on the defensive, suddenly entered Hanzhong in four ways. All the way out of Qipanguan, Niu Qiuwen, the general soldier of Baoning of the Puppet Ming Dynasty, led 2,000 people to attack Huangba, and then attacked Ningqiang Prefecture non-stop. The defenders of Ningqiang Prefecture were caught off guard, and the Ningqiang Prefecture was broken by the Restoration Army, and the defenders committed suicide and martyrdom.

A day later, Ma Yuanjie, the chief soldier of the Fuming Military Guard, led the army to join Niu Qiuwen, and then Niu Qiuwen led 500 soldiers to take the small road to attack the county, causing the Jinniu Gorge to lose its effect, and then it was easily captured by Ma Yuanjie, and then the army arrived in Hanzhong.

Hanzhong defender Wang Yizheng, the general of Xi'an, led his army out of the city to fight with the Fuming army, but the Fuming army was defeated and retreated to the area of Dingjun Mountain to hold on. After Wang Yizheng's army was dragged by the Restoration Army, another Restoration Army passed through Micang Mountain in Nanjiang County and attacked Hanzhong from Nanzheng. As a result, the city was unguarded, allowing the Restoration Army to break through Hanzhong.

Qin Changfan, the deputy general of the Hanzhong garrison, was killed in battle, and Qin Qi, the general of Hanzhong, led the remnants to flee to Hanyin. As a result, Qi Sansheng, the Restoration Army invaded by Yunyang, surrounded the Chihe estuary and was defeated and killed himself. Wang Yizheng originally wanted to retreat to the area of Fengxian County, relying on the pass to block the Restoration Army.

As a result, Liu Yingchang, the general soldier, led 3,000 people to go through Yangping Pass, go north along the Jialing River, and attack Fengxian from Yuguan. Wang Yizheng was blocked by the armies of the two sides in the Qinling Mountains, and in the end, only Wang Yizheng took three personal soldiers and escaped from the Qinling Mountains by small road to warn Xi'an.

The armies of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, which had already received the holy decree, were all assembled in Xi'an. Now hearing the news, the entire army is blocked in Xi'an, unable to move. After Fu Kachan got the Restoration Army to invade Hanzhong, he was afraid that the Restoration Army would take the opportunity to attack Fengxiang Mansion. Immediately let Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, go to Dasanguan with an army of 10,000 to prevent the Restoration Army from going north out of Qinling.

After Shunzhi saw this military information, he directly threw the information to Sony, and said, "Look at this situation, how to deal with it." Sonny and the others saw that after Shunzhi read the report, his face was not very good, and he didn't dare to hesitate immediately, and immediately picked up the report and flipped through it.

After Sony and Ao Bai saw it, Ao Bai said: "Your Majesty, since Qin Qi, the chief soldier of Hanzhong, and Wang Yizheng, the chief soldier of Xi'an, have been defeated, then Hanzhong will also be lost." Now that the rebels in Sichuan have occupied Hanzhong, our army will not be able to enter Sichuan through Hanzhong again. I think we have to let the army go to the Shangluo area to enter Huguang. ”

Sonny said: "Aobai is reasonable, and we have to be fast, otherwise after letting the rebels in Sichuan gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong, it is very likely that they will go east into the Shangluo area, and then capture various passes." In that case, our road to the south will be blocked, and we will have to take Xinyang, Henan Province to enter Huguang. ”

Shunzhi said: "It's okay, let the Badali of the Mongolian Eight Banners speed up the march, and let Fu Kachan of Xi'an also immediately lead his troops into Shangluo." ”

Sonny said: "Did the emperor let Bai Rumei, the governor of Shaanxi, go with him?" Shunzhi said: "Let Bai Rumei guard Xi'an, and tell him that if Xi'an is lost again, I will punish him for the nine clans." In addition, let the passes everywhere also strengthen their defense, so as not to be like Hanzhong again, being attacked and outflanked by others in a few days, and the entire state capital will be lost. ”

When Sony heard this, he was also sweating profusely, and what Hanzhong lost was really not presentable. In just five days, all the soldiers in Hanzhong were annihilated.

Just when Shunzhi and the others were discussing how to deal with it, Wu Liangfu hurriedly came in with a concerto. When Shunzhi saw it, he said, "What's the matter?" Where's the movement? ”

Wu Liangfu didn't dare to speak, but just handed over the chapter to Shunzhi, who took it and felt dizzy. Sonny and Ao Bai immediately stepped forward to support Shunzhi, and then looked at the concerto, it was actually the recital of Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang, or it was 800 miles to expedite.

Shunzhi endured his dizzy head and looked at the music, but he couldn't stand it after just reading two lines. Directly threw the piece on the ground and shouted: "What does he Zhang Changgeng do?" There is also Jieshu, I sent him to oversee the army, and he actually went directly to Wuchang, and there was no overseer at all. What is he trying to do? Or my prince of the Qing Dynasty, do we love the descendants of the Xinjueluo family? ”

Now no one dares to answer, Ao Bai and Sonny saw that Shunji was angry, and they immediately knelt down. Sonny said: "The emperor is angry, take care of the dragon body." Shunzhi shouted: "How do you let me calm down?" Tell me, didn't we have an army of 100,000 in Huguang? Why is it suddenly gone, even 100,000 pigs will not be defeated, how fast. ”

Shunzhi sat on the bed angrily, and then kept patting the bed with his hand. Shunzhi was a little nervous and said: "It must be that they think I'm a bully now, and they think that I won't kill anyone." ”

Hearing Shunzhi's two words, Sonny and Ao Bai were suddenly frightened into a cold sweat. Shunzhi punished the generals of the Nanjing War last time, and this time I don't know who suffered.

Sure enough, Shunzhi said: "Spread the decree, copy the book of Jieshu and ask for the crime, and send the whole family to Ningguta as a slave, Zhang Changgeng is not a member, and the whole clan will be exterminated." Shunzhi was about to go on, and Sony hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't be punished like this now, please make it clear to the emperor, what's wrong?" Suddenly, I saw the unexplained punishment of King Kangjun, and I was afraid that the government and the opposition would be uneasy. Moreover, Zhang Changgeng is also a feudal official of the imperial court, and without a single statement, he was suddenly exterminated by the nine clans, what should the governor of the world do? ”

When Shunji heard Sony's words, he reacted and threw the piece in his hand to Sony. Then he said a little decadently: "Is this God punishing me?" What's going on in the world? Obviously, the Ming Dynasty has been forced to the end, but it can always be alive again. ”

Shunzhi sat down and said, "Five years ago, Nanming had a Li Dingguo, and I almost wanted to go back to the customs directly. We spent five years, and finally the Ming Dynasty was consumed to death, why did Zhu Youdong suddenly come again, you tell me, the people of the Ming Dynasty, there is no end? Why can't the people of the Ming Dynasty finish killing? Do we deserve to go back to the border? ”

Sonny and Ao Bai didn't have an idea at this time, Shunzhi's expression, and opened the music in their hands to take a look. was suddenly shocked, and Zhang Changgeng directly came to the hot news at the beginning. Zhu Youdong supervised the country in Chongqing, and then the army marched out of Huguang. The Qing army deployed in Huguang by the Qing Dynasty was annihilated by the Restoration Army.

On March 27, Sichuan's Restoration Army marched out of Kuidong, attacked the city of Yunyang, and then marched east into Xiangyangfu. The ships of the Kuidong Navy suddenly arrived in Yidu. Lin Risheng, the general of the naval army stationed in Yidu, did not dare to fight at all, and was blocked in the water village by the Kuidong naval army, and then surrendered to the Fuming army.

The Restoration Army then attacked Yidu, and the Xiangyang General Yu Dahai fought against the Restoration Army, and in the end, only he was left with more than ten personal soldiers to surrender to the Restoration Army. However, after Yu Dahai surrendered, he was killed by Zhao Yun, the general of the Restoration Army. Kachuha and Marseille were cut off by the Restoration Army, and they did not have many troops at all, so they died in the chaos. Even Echu, who rushed from Nanjing to support, was seriously wounded and captured, and was killed unyieldingly.

Moreover, Shi Zhouwei's Restoration Army also sent out to attack Huguang on the same day, and had already marched to Shimen. The three-way army went straight to Jingzhou next to Dongting Lake. There is a great intention to join forces to take Wuchang.

The Restoration Army of Yuanzhou in the south also came out with a large army, and three days after the battle of the army of Lipu and Dong Xueli, because Jie Shu ran away with his own guards, the whole Qing army broke and fled. Dong Xueli's army disappeared in an instant, and Zhang Pengcheng, the general soldier of Yuanzhou, was killed.

After Hu Maozhen, the chief soldier who came to support from Changde and other places, was captured, he surrendered to the Restoration Army. Several other generals died in the chaos. Now Jieshu has fled back to Wuchang, and Dong Xueli has gathered the remnants of the army in Baoqing Mansion to garrison. However, the army has no fighting spirit and low morale, and if the Fuming army comes to attack, Baoqing Mansion will not be able to hold it.

After watching Zhang Changgeng's recital, Sony and Ao Bai both felt that their scalps were numb. Why did he suddenly see that the Qing Dynasty was defeated so completely, and half a year ago it was still full of good news. It's no wonder that Shunzhi is on fire, such a defeat is like a slap in the face, it is simply a slap in the face.

A year ago, the Qing Dynasty also claimed to pacify the world, and just a year later, now it is said that the Qing Dynasty has lost half of the country. Sonny and Ao Bai put the chapter back in front of Shunzhi, and Shunzhi said, "Tell me, what should you do now?" ”

Ao Bai was cold by Shunzhi for a few months last year for the sake of Sichuan, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time. Sonny didn't say anything when he saw it, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, now you can only urge the Mongolian Eight Banners to go south quickly." Judging from Zhang Changgeng's report, the Fuming Army's dispatch this time seemed to be violent, but they divided too many troops, and there were only about 20,000 troops on each road, which caused the dispersion of troops. As long as the Mongolian Eight Banners are now moving south, with the advantage of cavalry and troops, and quickly defeating the Restoration Army, then the Restoration Army will not be enough. ”

After Ao Yu saw Sonny say it, Shunzhi was not angry, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Sony is right, you should let the Mongolian Eight Banners go south as soon as possible, and the Manchurian Eight Banners of my Qing Dynasty should also go south to Huguang directly." Now there is no need to go to Jiangnan with a large army, as for the matter of recovery, it is good to directly ask Jiangning General Kakamu and Liangjiang Governor Lang Tingzuo to urge Zhu Guozhi to complete. ”

Shunzhi said: "I don't have a clue now, you can quickly follow the order." Sonny and Ao Bai immediately retreated, and then trotted all the way to give the order.
