On the twenty-ninth day of the third year of the reform, just before the Chinese New Year, the Fu Han army successfully occupied the capital after a stormy battle, which drew an end to this war.

In fact, since the battle of Baliqiao, the main force of the Qing army has completely disappeared, the previous more than 100,000 troops, by the Fu Han army killed more than 50,000 people, captured more than 30,000 people, the rest of the people almost all scattered and fled, and the Fu Han army in this battle, also paid more than 10,000 casualties.

Strictly speaking, the Qing army did not fight badly, especially the blood of the Eight Banners gathered in this battle, so everyone dared to fight for their lives, and everyone was not afraid of death, so they paid such heavy casualties.

After all, the Qing army left less than 10,000 troops in Beijing, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Ning Chu Junchen did not enter the Beijing Division for the first time, after all, there were still many diehards of the Eight Banners hidden in it, they could not win on the frontal battlefield, and they were likely to think of assassination, so they would not directly enter the Beijing Division until they were completely purged by the Fu Han Army.

Of course, it will not be all the troops who enter the capital, Ning Yu directly arranged the first division and the second division, hand in hand to enter the Beijing division to garrison, of course, he also gave repeated orders to it, and never allow any soldiers of the Han army to do anything to break military discipline, if anyone dares to fish in troubled waters, they will be killed immediately.

In fact, before the Fu Han army entered the city, there were still many banner people left in the city, some of which were Manchurian Eight Banners, a small part of which were Mongolian Eight Banners, and most of them were Han army banner people.

The reason is also very simple, when the Eight Banners were evacuated from the Beijing Division, the time was too tight, so that a large number of banner people and corresponding belongings were stranded in the Beijing Division. However, this was the reason why the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongol Eight Banners were stranded, unlike the Han Army Bannermen, who had no choice of evacuating outside the Guanguan from the beginning, so almost all of the rest remained in the Beijing Division, except for a small number of people.

Therefore, when the city was broken, these Eight Banners were the most fearful, they were worried that Ning Chu would re-enact the scene when the Eight Banners went south, and even many Eight Banners women directly chose to commit suicide......

Just when there was chaos in the capital, the rest of the divisions of the Fu Han army were temporarily stationed in Tongzhou, and the original Tongzhou Qing army camp had become the garrison camp of the Fu Han army, and the original Tongzhou Mansion had become the temporary office of Ning Chu Junchen, who would remain in power here until the Beijing division was completely safe.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have come to the preliminary results through the confession of Yongzheng and others, Yongzheng was not killed by our army that day, but took a large amount of pills, after he shot that arrow, his emotions were completely out of control, so that the medicine exploded...... He died violently on the spot. ”

Cui Wancai directly submitted the original report, and sighed: "Yongzheng that day, I'm afraid that he has already made up his mind to die." ”

Ning Yu was roasting around the stove at this time, he was really a little afraid of the cold in the north, after hearing Cui Wancai's words, he immediately took the report, read it briefly, and finally was able to determine that the death of Emperor Yongzheng had a lot to do with taking pills, especially after the capture of Jingshi, although the liar Jia Shifang died, but according to the confessions of others, this connection can also be drawn.

Emperor Yongzheng wanted to die on the battlefield, but the world made people, and he still died under the pill in the end, but people couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable.

"Although Yongzheng was not beheaded by our army, the reward should be sent down."

Ning Yu nodded lightly and said softly: "Also, Yongzheng is a man after all, so he should be buried." As for the mausoleums of the previous emperors of the puppet Qing Dynasty, they should be preserved, and in the future, they will be managed together with the mausoleums of the Ming Emperor, and they can also be used as a historical education base to learn from history. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cui Wancai understood the emperor's intention to say this, in fact, because there were people inside and outside the court who claimed to destroy the Qing Tomb, in order to clear the source, and it also reflected the determination of the Great Chu to inherit the Ming Dynasty.

But in Ning Yu's own opinion, there is no need for this, he wants to keep the Qingling Tomb for future generations to see, and keep this period of history in mind.

"Although the war has basically ended, but the people's life is not easy, especially this year Zhili has been very short of grain, plus the Eight Banners have transported a lot of grain to the outside of the customs, at present, the capital is two hundred rice, the key is that there is no price....... The Cabinet should ensure that the relief of the Nakli region is properly guaranteed, and there must be no situation in which the child is eaten by the child. ”

Ning Yu's advice did not come out of thin air, but the information gathered by the secret agents under him, and all kinds of tragic situations in it made people worry to read.

Cui Wancai understood what Ning Yu meant, and said that the problem of food shortage in Zhili has always been very serious, or in other words, the problem of food shortage in the entire north is very serious.

As early as after the Fu Han army took Jiangnan, the food supply system in the entire north had actually begun to be unbalanced, and Yongzheng had no choice but to concentrate on grain to attack Zhili first, so the grain in Shandong and Henan was supplied in the direction of Zhili, resulting in a certain disaster in itself.

By the time of this year, there had been a certain amount of drought and locust plague in Shandong and Henan, and in addition, the grain output was not as good as in the past, but even in that environment, Shandong and Henan still had to transport grain to Zhili, and as a result, many people starved to death.

Now, Zhili has completely lost the external food supply channel, not to mention, the key is that the little grain left by itself has been transported to the customs outside the Eight Banners, which has caused a large-scale famine, if it is not for the Fu Han army to lay down Zhili, I am afraid that after this winter, the people of the capital will have to starve to death.

For the situation of Zhili, Cui Wancai is also worried, "Back to Your Majesty, at the moment Zhili has no more grain stocks, can only rely on the outside world to supply grain, the key is that Shandong, Henan and Shanxi are also just in the hands of our army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to provide more food, and now the Ministry of Finance has allocated two million stones of grain stored in Nanzhili, Anhui and Huguang, which will be transported to Zhili by sea ship, but there is not enough time." ”

"Not only is there not enough time, but there is also not enough food, two million stone grain is only afraid that most people can barely survive the winter, and next year it will fall into a state of no food, we not only have to provide them with relief food, but also let the people live a real stable life."

Ning Yu groaned slightly, he already had a preliminary idea in his heart, and he was going to communicate with the cabinet again.

Cui Wancai stroked his beard and muttered, "Then what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"The matter should be divided into two parts........."

Ning Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said loudly: "The first part is to solve the current problem, we must continue to transport grain to Zhili, the part that is currently in short supply can be filled with military rations, and then we will talk about it after saving the emergency, as long as we can fill the accounts, the Privy Council will not say anything, in this process, we must insist on implementing the new policy, and we must resolutely confiscate the land of Qitian and some traitors and gentry." ”

"The second part is that we can't just support the millions of people in Zhili, so the burden on the imperial court will be too heavy, and the cash-for-work cannot be carried out for a long time, so we need to divert the population and open up wasteland to feed more people."

Cui Wancai's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Your Majesty meant, is it reclamation outside the Guanwai?" ”

"That's right! Solve the problem of Zhili, just outside the gate! ”

Ning Yu sketched a smile on his face, speaking of which the current timing is also very ingenious, usually Hermes-Epitek is not willing to leave his hometown and explore the wilderness, only if he can't survive, he will choose to try his luck elsewhere.

At present, if we want to solve the problem in the northeast, it is not enough to rely on the army or firearms, the key is to have a large number of people, as a source of soldiers and grain storage land, in order to really carry out actual control, so at present, the method of letting the Han people go out of the customs to find a way to survive is completely feasible, and through the development of the Han people out of the customs, it can further curb the wolf ambitions of the Russians.

Thinking about it, Ning Yu felt that there was no better way than this, but when he thought of the large amount of preparation work to be done in the future, he couldn't help but have a little headache.
