The rain became more and more tight by the east wind, and the north gate of Qingzhou City slammed shut at night, and Zhu Youdi, the king of Heng in the city, looked at the fire that was gradually moving away and breathed a long sigh of relief, and the long history beside him sighed: "Finally gone"

Zhu Youdi glanced at him sideways, and also sighed: "Yes, it's finally gone!" ”

On the side, Li Shiyuan looked at the lights of the cars and horses in the distance, his eyes were long, and he was reluctant to give up, whether King Heng was lamenting that the tartar was finally gone, or secretly glad that the little eunuch who had plucked the goose was gone, or both.

The Qing army camp on the banks of the Beiyang River was in disarray, and after Duoduo and Chang Yu reached a preliminary agreement, they hurriedly pulled out the camp, and then Chang Yu ordered the army to cross the river and rest in the Qing army camp for a while, and ordered the scouts to follow the Qing army to monitor their movements.

Chang Yu tied the tent to the river, and he could fish with a pole, and his subordinates sat or lay down in the tent to chat, and they were a little surprised but acceptable to talk about peace with the Tartars, after all, they knew their own catties best.

Although Chang Yu was in front of Duoduo, although he was full of words and said that he would fight to the end at all costs, although the decision was true, the price they themselves had to pay was definitely not smaller than that of the Qing army.

In a small way, if you want to fight out Dolgon's 20,000 cavalry, Chang Yu will have to use at least three times the number of troops to accompany the funeral, that is, the soldiers and horses of Jinggi and Zhou, Huang and Li will be defeated, if there is an enemy who comes to attack Gyeonggi at this time, there will be no soldiers to defend, and Chang Yu will have no soldiers to use, let alone go south to level the thieves, at that time, only a one-pole commander can go alone!

In addition to his strong blood, there is also a lot of silver, food and salary, silver rewards, injury compensation, pensions, these are the most primitive motivation for soldiers to move forward bravely, and they are also silver for nothing!

If this battle continues, how much silver will it cost tens of thousands of soldiers to die!

Therefore, in public and private, big and small, Chang Yu does not want to break the net with the Tartars, rather than fighting with the Qing army to exhaust the capital that has been accumulated with great difficulty, he is more willing to put the long-term line and take revenge a little bit.

Fortunately, the Qing army didn't want to put the old book together, and Duoduo was finally frightened by him and agreed to the terms of the peace talks.

"Factory, have we won?" Jia Waixiong tilted his head and looked at Chang Yu, who was fishing with a rod at the door of the handsome tent, and asked.

Chang Yu laughed, didn't look back, and didn't speak.

"It should be regarded as a win, the Tartars attacked the capital and Qingzhou, and they didn't take it, and they were chased by us all the way, killing and wounding countless people, and they almost didn't take any advantage," Song Luoyu teased the little Taoist priest in the corner and interjected.

"Yes, we won" Tu Yuan smiled, and the rest of the people echoed, and the tent was a little noisy.

"Others hit our house, and if they win, they will lose" Li Yan, who was lying on the chair, coughed lightly, and everyone suddenly quieted down: "The Tartars burned and plundered all the way, slaughtered my people without a plan, and we also suffered a lot of damage after chasing thousands of miles, so do we take advantage of it?" ”

"Since you haven't taken advantage, why don't you take advantage of this time to gain the upper hand and fight with it again, and collect more interest to come back" Huang Degong was actually a little angry about the sudden peace, and blurted out at this time, and was immediately scolded by Zhou Yuji: "The more you fight, the more you can't take advantage, and there is no way to win or lose."

"When will the soldiers send to Shenyang, when will they win" Chang Yu over there made a final decision, and a half-pound grass carp was lifted out of the water, and the soldiers next to him immediately took it and cleaned it and then roasted it on the fire, and Xiao Daotong broke free from Song Luoyu's arms, and his greedy saliva was about to flow out.

"If you don't chase or stop, won't you have nothing to do these days?" Huang Degong snorted, touched the wine jar beside Mo and found that it was empty, so he looked at Hao Yongzhong, and when he saw him, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"Driving the Tartars out of the customs is the top priority, how can it be said that there is nothing to do! At present, although the Tartars have already negotiated peace with us, we have to guard against their deception, and tomorrow their various departments will take turns to see each other, and they will be monitored ten miles away from the people and horses behind their palaces."

The generals bowed their heads.

"Overseer" At this time, Li Muxian in the corner spoke up, and looked at Chang Yu with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth: "Are you planning to hang out your gold-lettered signboard, or is it just a casual use."

Chang Yu finally turned around and glanced at him: "Let's hear it, if you say that the governor is in his heart, your crime of pretending to be a national teacher will be over, otherwise, you can burn high incense yourself."

"Ahem, cough, poor Dao was just a poor mouth, fooling the Tartar prince at that time......" Li Muxian hurriedly explained.

"Get down to business!" Chang Yucai was not interested in listening to his chatter.

Li Muxian hurriedly stopped, and then cleared his throat: "Lord Factory Supervisor, Ma Ke and Tang Tong are still in Shunyi at this time, and they have been idle for most of the month."

Chang Yu frowned, he originally planned to surround the Qing army in Jingdong and attack together, and ordered Ma Ke and Tang Tong to stay in Shunyi and take another blow when the Qing army retreated, but later he didn't stop the Qing army and let it go all the way south to Qingzhou, which made Ma Ke and Tang Tong count for more than half a month.

At this time, as soon as Li Muxian mentioned it, Chang Yu knew that this bull's nose was going to use his brain, even Huang Degong, Tu Yuan and other generals also heard a strange taste.

"It seems that this golden sign of the governor has to be smashed" Chang Yu laughed, and the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became excited again.

When the rain did not abate, the soldiers in the camp were asleep, and the follow-up grain and grass baggage had also arrived, and the lights were still bright in the battle of Chang Yu by the river, and more than a dozen generals under his command were still nesting in it whispering and chatting, but this half a month was busy fighting on the road, and the spirit was tense at all times, and now he was finally able to ease up, and he was not sleepy, so he drank and ate grilled fish and chatted in the handsome tent.

Cheng Ming sent a quick horse to report: The Qing army released 463 prisoners of the Ming army, 500 women and children, and he had been admitted to the city at this time. The main force of the Qing army camped on the banks of the Yellow River, and the hostages and baggage stopped marching and rested on the spot ten miles north of Binzhou City.

Dolgon's sincerity made Chang Yu very satisfied. He sent a fast horse to Tianjin Weihe and the capital overnight to give orders.

More than half of the time (about four o'clock in the morning) in the Forbidden City, the crown prince Zhu Cihong was washing and changing, last night he secretly went to the grass fence to see the lively, and went to have a business meeting with a few big eunuchs on the street, and it was very late to come back.

The prince's teachers are all bachelors in the cabinet, these people are very awesome, the emperor scolds him, not to mention the prince, but if he has a bit of misconduct, he will be reprimanded for corporal punishment at the lightest, and he will sue at the worst.

Although Zhu Cihong now has a much better relationship with his father Emperor Chongzhen than before, he is still afraid, which is also the shadow of every teenager's fear of his father.

Today's talk is about the Analects, the reason why Confucianism was regarded as the art of imperial medicine by the emperors of several dynasties is that it persuades people to be honest and obedient, and the common people are easy to manage as soon as they are obedient.

But the one who is close to the ink is black, the prince is now a rebellious adolescence, and then listen to those who repay grievances with virtue and convince people with virtue, and their brains hurt: "Chang Yu said that virtue in this world will never make people convinced, it will only make people gain inches, this world is the law of the jungle, only your fist is hard enough, the horse is strong enough, the knife is sharp enough, and the heart is ruthless enough to make people surrender"

"Nonsense, how can the words of a saint be wrong" The teacher was furious! "Power can only make people bend but cannot convince people, only virtue and reason can ......"

But Chang Yu said: "The truth is only within the range of bows and arrows and artillery......"

"Hugh is nonsense!" The teacher threw the book angrily: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are old and faint and stupid to read and read stupidly, don't you understand those truths, Chang Yu's words have a certain truth, but fighting and killing is what the courtiers do, you are going to ascend the throne as the emperor in the future to rule the world, the ministers teach your royal subordinates the art of the subjects, if everyone is like Chang Yu, the world will not be chaotic......"

"But if the whole world is stolen by rebellious ministers and thieves, how can this palace be in charge of the world!" Zhu Cihong said in a low voice: "In the past thousands of years, I have never heard of the use of virtue to convince people and convince people by reason between countries, which of the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty did not rely on force to conquer the world, and which one was not stolen by others because of the lack of force, and these things taught by the teacher to coax those common people are just ......."

That's enough! Honest was completely enraged: "This is the palace, not the battlefield, the way of governing the country that Your Highness wants to learn......"

Zhu Cihong suddenly felt a big head, but he didn't dare to contradict him when he saw that he was so angry, and he was about to admit his mistake to ease the atmosphere, but when he saw the palace maid Linglong probing at the door of the main hall, he coughed lightly: "What's the matter with Linglong?" ”

Linglong saluted the master and walked gently to Zhu Cihong: "I heard that there was an urgent report, saying that Chang Gonggong was here."

Yes! Zhu Cihong couldn't sit still any longer, and bowed his hand to the master: "Father summons me, the student will retire first" and ran out of the hall.
