Yongzheng's resolute attitude doomed the final result of this matter, more than 300 soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army, together with their impostors, will be executed by military law.

It's just that no matter how big this fluttering movement is, when it converges on Yongzheng's side, it is just a minister's gentle euphemism and advice, and it has no effect at all. Especially for an emperor like Yongzheng, he has made up his mind, and it is useless for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to come.

600 people to be beheaded is a major event in all dynasties, and it is naturally no exception in the Qing Dynasty. Although the people of the capital are accustomed to the news of the annihilation of the army on the front line, and they are also accustomed to the dead - but such a large-scale chopping of people, especially those precious Eight Banner disciples, is indeed the first time to see it.

Therefore, on the day of the execution, on the edge of the execution ground at the entrance of the vegetable market, the people who had long gathered to watch the excitement had already gathered, and they liked to watch this kind of red-hot event on weekdays, but now they were waiting with their eyes blank to see how those children of the Eight Banners, who were arrogant on weekdays, lost their lives.

In addition to the Shangshu Lai Du of the Criminal Department, there were also Narsu, the king of Pingjun, and Shangshu Tuo Lai of the Military Department, the three of them looked serious, looking at the prisoners who were escorted into the execution ground, but they all sighed in a low voice, after all, it was their own family who was killed, which was really unmotivating.

For these three, although there are more than 600 people who have been beheaded, only the more than 300 Eight Banners are their own people, and the other more than 300 impostors are not.

Naturally, more than 600 people will not be beheaded at the same time, but will be executed in batches, they have violated military law, and they have long been in a panic, and now when they see the execution site, many people are immediately frightened to urine, emitting a fishy smell, but in this environment, it seems that no one can smell it at all.

"It's noon, execution!"

Shang Shulai of the Criminal Department threw down the order arrow, and his heart was somewhat uncomfortable, although these people were all violating the law of the country, but killing them like this was indeed too ruthless, but the emperor's order, no one dared to refute it.

After seeing Lai Du's order, there was a cry on the execution ground, especially those Han people who wanted to make money, they regretted it even more in their hearts, and shouted out their grievances, but when they looked back, there was no one present who did not shout grievances, but at this point, it was useless to shout grievances.......

With a flash of knife light, the people surrounding the execution ground cheered loudly as if they were celebrating the New Year, killing well! Kill hard!

These people who were high up in the past should be killed!

King Pingjun looked at the bloody scene on the execution ground, but he was secretly worried in his heart, this time it was completely the result of Emperor Yongzheng's arbitrariness, and it also caused a lot of criticism within the Eight Banners, but now Yongzheng is still in power, if things are bad in the future, I am afraid that the first one to fight back is the Eight Banners themselves......

.......

On December 23, the snow fell in Xi'an City, and it was a rare scene for poets, but for the righteous soldiers who defended the city, it was no less than purgatory on earth.

Since the end of November, Nian Qianyao has besieged Xi'an for a full month, and in this month's time, the Qing army launched nearly 100 attacks on Xi'an City, including no less than 10 times when he first landed in the city, but these attacks were eventually topped by the Great Righteous Army.

Of course, it was by human life. At this stage, the defenders of Xi'an suffered more than 30,000 casualties and the Qing army suffered more than 10,000 casualties. The most important thing is that a large part of the casualties of the Great Righteous Army were veterans. If this group of veterans is killed and wounded, it will be difficult to hold the city with the remaining recruits alone.

In addition, even in terms of grain and grass, Xi'an City does not have obvious advantages, because before this, Xi'an City has experienced a major war, and the grain is exhausted, so that today's Xi'an City is a little crumbling in terms of garrison.

The most important thing is that in terms of morale, the righteous army has a tendency to be slack, and the Qing army has been promised by Nian Qianyao that as long as the city of Xi'an is captured, the money and women in the city can take it for themselves, so the morale of the Qing army is extremely high, and it is almost impossible to die in the battle.

Liu Ruhan stood at the head of the city, with a white cloth wrapped around his arm, this was because he was hit by an arrow in the previous battle, but fortunately it was not a bird, and the treatment was timely, so there was no major problem, but from this, it can also be seen that the danger of the previous war, even he himself had to go up to the city to boost morale, so he persevered.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, the wind is strong in the city, let's go back to the palace. Ahem. ”

Xue Guan stood aside with his head slightly bowed, and whispered, but when he was talking, he coughed violently a few times, and then tried to pant to even out this breath.

Liu Ruhan looked at this courtier, and his face couldn't help but show a little worry, "Lonely has been marching and fighting all year round, and he has long been used to seeing wind and snow, but Xue Qing is a scholar, so he should pay more attention to his body." ”

Xue Guan showed a somewhat wry smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this old bone of the minister, sooner or later you have to go down to see the king of Hades, but you haven't seen the king ascend the throne yet, so you are really a little unwilling." ”

Liu Ruhan heard Xue Guan say this, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, according to the original plan, he would stand on his own after taking Guanzhong, but now the Qing army came too fast, fought too quickly, and made a mistake in Chen Daoxian's matter, lost the opportunity, and was beaten a little embarrassed, so that when he thought of ascending the throne again, it was a little like a world away.

"What is their attitude?"

Liu Ruhan asked thoughtlessly, but Xue Guan understood what King Han meant, which was nothing more than about sending Ning Chu and Chen Daoxian for help.

"What Ning Chu means is that the main force is still gathering, so let the king hold on for a while....... Chen Daoxian said it well, claiming that he would come to help quickly, but his strength was not good, and he couldn't withstand the 5,000 Qing soldiers in Xinglin Town......"

A trace of sadness appeared on Xue Guan's face, Chen Daoxian's matter was obviously Ning Chu's beginnings and ends, but in the end, he had to ask them for support, it was simply that after the left side of his face was fanned, he took the right side of his face to fan.

"For Ning Chu, Lone underestimated them after all......"

Liu Ruhan looked at the Qing army camp tent under the city, gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes as if he had made up his mind.

"Lone's nephew has committed suicide, and the head was sent to Nanjing......."

Xue Guan was shocked instantly, he and Liu Ruhan's nephew Liu Zhao sent an envoy to Ning Chu together, and later because of Chen Caiwei's incident, he angered the then Duke of Hanyang, and now the Ningchu Emperor Ning Yu, so now Liu Ruhan gave Liu Zhao's head to Ning Yu, and his attitude is already very obvious.

Regardless of whether Ning Yu continues to blame or not, but Liu Ruhan has already made his attitude clear, as long as he can send troops to rescue, even if Liu Zhao's head is taken, Xue Guan will not even doubt it, as long as Ning Yu still remembers this matter, even if it is Liu Ruhan's own son, he will not hesitate to do it!

Liu Ruhan let out a long sigh and looked at Xue Guan's eyes, with a bit of inexplicable taste, "Xue Qing, now to make Chen Daoxian believe in Gu's sincerity, you still need to make a certain sacrifice, do you understand?" ”

Xue Guan was stunned, he naturally understood what Liu Ruhan meant, if there was anyone among the people Chen Daoxian hated the most, he Xue Guan would definitely be in the top three, if he hadn't chosen to betray Liu Ruhan at the beginning, Chen Daoxian would not have lost so badly, and he almost didn't even save his daughter, this kind of painful lesson, Chen Daoxian will never forget half a point.

Now that the two sides belong to different camps, but Liu Ruhan has a request for Chen Daoxian, then his Xue Guan's head is the best sincerity. Don't say anything about benevolence or not, Liu Ruhan can even sacrifice his own biological nephew, let alone Xue Guan?

"Xue Qing, I have wronged you this time....... Lone will never forget your exploits, nor will he forget your sacrifice for the Great Righteous Army. ”

"Come on, send Xue Qing on the road!"

..........

In Fengtian Palace, Ning Yu sat on the dragon chair, looking at the jubilant civil and military officials below, and couldn't help but show a little smile on his face.

The first year of innovation has come to an end, and in this year, Ning Chu has completed the most critical step of laying the foundation, and has also achieved the unification of the south more than half a year ahead of schedule, which is also a great joy worth celebrating.

The palace of monarchs and ministers, with its joy, accompanied by singing and dancing, made the generals who fought on the battlefield dazzled, but for Ning Yu, it was extremely boring, after all, he had experienced the prosperous life of later generations, and he was not so cold to the entertainment projects of this era.

Speaking of which, in the early 18th century, in addition to going out early every day and returning to work hard, the rest of the entertainment life was basically to make babies, or to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, except for a small number of cultural people who could still watch, the rest of the time was very boring.

Of course, Ning Yu is gradually getting used to this kind of day, and he doesn't feel sad, but when he thinks that more than a dozen newspapers and periodicals will be published in the spring of next year, he has some expectations in his heart, and he doesn't expect people's thinking to be active this year, but as long as a platform is provided, there should be some new changes in the future.

Ning Yu even imagined that those folk popular people could be transferred to the newspaper, which could enrich everyone's entertainment content and make the newspaper more popular in people's lives. Because if the newspaper only has national events, then for ordinary people, there is not much temptation, but it can naturally attract the people.

Maybe in the future, I can also change my face, sort out some classics from my previous life, and publish them......

Just thinking about it, Ning Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't have so much time at the moment, not to mention the major events of the Northern Expedition, even the game with the officials and gentry below was just beginning.....

However, for Ning Yu, there is indeed good news at the moment, from the Kong Clan Beizong in Qufu, Shandong, they knew that after Kong Yuxun was captured by the Fu Han army, they also sent people to contact, the main purpose is naturally to change the boat, hoping that Ning Chu can accept it, and it is best to continue to be this Yan Shenggong in peace.

For Beizong's idea, Ning Yu naturally did not choose to agree, and let people pass on the opinions that they had told Kong Yuxun at the beginning, first, the Kong family must accept the implementation of the new policy, and must not choose to disobey; Second, the Confucian family needs to cooperate with the Northern Expedition of the Han Army, and must not choose to disobey.

Only after completing these two steps, the rest can continue to talk, otherwise they will be Ning Chu's enemies.

Maybe the Kong family will hesitate, but after Ning Chu completes the integration of the south, it will be too late for them to hesitate, and then the northern expedition of the Fu Han army has been completed, and there is no need to talk about anything.

Everyone drank too much, and even Ning Yu drank a few more glasses, but it was not a high-degree liquor, but a warmer imperial rice wine, which was more flavorful in winter, but he didn't feel drunk when he drank it, and when Ning Yu returned to the harem, the degree of this wine came up, and the whole person was a little excited.

Chen Caiwei is now three months pregnant, and her belly is obviously a lot bigger, seeing Ning Yu full of alcohol, her eyebrows are slightly frowned, and she whispered to the maid beside her.

"Serve Your Majesty to bathe, and then send a bowl of sobering soup."

In the past, when she was not pregnant, she did these things herself, but now that she is pregnant, it is not easy to do it herself, but the worry in her heart is a little more.

After Ning Yu bathed, Chen Caiwei brought the sobering soup, and she personally held the silver spoon and fed it to Ning Yu little by little, and at this time Ning Yu was already a lot more sober, but she grabbed Chen Caiwei's wrist like a bright moon, and she didn't speak, just looked at her face affectionately.

Seeing Ning Yu's appearance, it touched the little woman's side in Chen Caiwei's heart, and she lowered her head a little shyly, "Your Majesty, why do you look at the concubine so much?" ”

Ning Yu had a smile on her face, "Caiwei, I have good news for you. ”

"Isn't it ......" Chen Caiwei guessed a possibility, and her whole body trembled slightly.

"That's right, your father Chen Daoxian is out of danger now, and if everything goes well, he will come to Nanjing to see you after the beginning of spring next year at the latest. If it doesn't go well, it won't be later than summer. ”

Ning Yu had a little smile on her face, this is no longer a secret, so it doesn't hurt to talk about it, especially at this time, telling Chen Caiwei such a good news can also make her worry a lot less.

Chen Caiwei raised her little face, and saw two lines of tears on her face, but she felt quite pitiful to me, "Thank you Your Majesty this time, if my father can return safely, Caiwei will feel a lot better...... It's all up to Your Majesty to get to where we are today. ”

"Silly girl......"

Ning Yu had a little smile on his face, for him, although he had become an emperor and was used to seeing conspiracy and tricks, he always had a little attachment to family affection.
