It's finally time to head north.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, March 19.

More than 30 official ships sailed along the Daqing River to the Bohai Sea.

Almost two hundred years later, the north bank of the Yellow River burst, seize the Daqing River into the sea, the Yellow River has become a familiar appearance for future generations, and now the Yellow River that has seized the mouth of the Huai River passes through Xuzhou, Linhuai'an all the way to the east into the sea. As for the depth and breadth of the Daqing River, sea boats can go all the way from the Bohai Sea to Jinan.

After a few hundred years, who would have thought that Jinan was also an important port to go to sea. And the boat Zhu Guoqiang sat on was a local ocean-shading boat, and when he sighed at the changes in the vicissitudes of the sea, he looked left and right.

More than 2,000 guards were on board, all armed with one-color front-loading muskets. They followed the prince south to the south of the Yangtze River and the north to Liaodong. I have just been in the garden with my family for a few days, and now I am going to Lushun again. But no one complained, and they were all very happy, because it was good to follow the prince.

After the southern expedition and the northern war, they were all promoted to one level - brave became pawns, pawns became soldiers, soldiers became soldiers, don't underestimate this promotion, and military salaries have also risen. On the basis of learning from the military rank system of later generations, Zhu Guoqiang set a military rank in the army, but at present, it is only limited to soldiers, that is, it is divided into four levels: brave, pawn, soldier, and sergeant, which almost corresponds to private, private, corporal, sergeant, and then officer...... As a matter of fact, the military rank system still needs to be improved and improved, but this will be discussed after the reorganization of the whole army in the future. At the moment, it's just to reward the soldiers.

In addition to the guards, there were, of course, the newly recruited staff—more than two hundred people, plus a few hundred teenagers from the sanatorium—and this was only the first batch of personnel, and everyone else would go to Lushun in the future. Of course, it is far from being comparable to the teams that go to sea from the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, where there are tens of thousands of people.

Out of the Daqing River, into the Bohai Sea, and then to Lushun, when the fleet arrived at the Lushun mouth, it was already dark, but inside and outside the Lushun mouth was a mast lamp. I saw that inside and outside the mouth of Lushun, it was densely packed with merchant ships - ocean-covering ships, sand boats, and bird ships...... In the past few days, more than 100,000 troops have arrived in Lushun, which has made this small city full of pressure.

In fact, when Zhu Guoqiang and his entourage arrived here, many of them had already transferred to Qingniwa, that is, the Dalian area in later generations.

Hearing that the prince was coming, in addition to the Lushun garrison, Li Baomin, who was born in the royal guard, hurriedly came to see him, and the generals who were stranded in Lushun also rushed over. Well, what is currently stranded here is Huang Degong's team, and his team set off the latest, and it only arrived yesterday, but he didn't come, he was looking for a suitable place to camp in the green mud valley.

"Lord Shizi, there will be a loss of welcome in the end, please blame Lord Shizi!"

As the general of the royal family, Li Baomin directly asked for sin.

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

"It's okay, I'll take more than 3,000 people, you can look at the placement, let everyone go ashore to rest for the night, and tomorrow we will go to the green mud puddle."

"I'll arrange it at the end."

Subsequently, Zhu Guoqiang met with Huang Degong's generals again, and of course he had to drink and talk with them, and he was comfortable spending the night.

In the early morning of the next day, before Zhu Guoqiang woke up, Qian Degong rushed over from the green mud puddle in a hurry, and as soon as he arrived in the courtyard, he knelt in front of the house and pleaded guilty.

After learning from Wang Xina, Zhu Guoqiang was not in a hurry, but brushed his teeth and washed his face as usual, and finally after Liu Ru waited for him to get dressed, he drank another cup of tea before going out.

Seeing that the prince came out, Qian Degong immediately paused and pleaded guilty.

"Minister Qian Degong pleads guilty to the prince of the world, and asks the prince to punish him!"

"Oh? What a sin, please! ”

"In order to force Huang Taiji to withdraw from the army, the minister tarnished the name of the prince! The sin deserves death! ”

Again, Qian Degong kowtowed. He did come to plead sincerely.

"Oh, then let me ask you, has Huang Taiji retired from the army?"

"Withdrawn!"

"Since you've withdrawn from the army, it's okay!"

Although it seemed that he was not being investigated, Zhu Guoqiang still said with a serious face.

"Although it is my preference to ride his horse and accept his beautiful wife and concubine, but Qian Degong, you are so open-minded and impartial to print this thing into a painting, where does this put me?"

Although he didn't care in his heart, he thought that he would be famous for eternity because of this incident, Du Guoqiang's heart was really full of taste.

I played and played, and I left behind the painting, and the painting was painted, and I spread it in the public. This approach has been unique throughout the ages.

However, this painting was not painted by yourself. It was he who made his own decisions.

After coming to Lushun again. Zhu Guoqiang specially found the painting and took a look, in fact, it was just a more beautifully printed color print. In terms of appearance, you can't tell who's who at all?

Even the characters in the painting are just imitations of "After Tasting". In fact, to put it bluntly, it means that people will think about it after watching it.

That's what this imagination is. It will make people associate this with themselves. Thinking that maybe in a few decades or centuries, this event will be the subject of a movie, or even a movie. When people talk about it after dinner.

It would be a lie to say that you don't mind. After all, no one wants to be famous all over the world through this majestic style, and it will be famous for eternity.

But hundreds of years of experience have proved that compared with cultural and martial arts, it seems that everyone prefers to sing these romantic stories.

What a thing!

It must be famous all over the world. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"I can be famous all over the world, but your Qian Degong is very great."

Hearing this, Qian Degong's heart trembled, and he hurriedly kowtowed and asked for sin.

"The sin of the minister deserves death!"

"Okay, what crime deserves to be killed by ten thousand deaths, there is only one human life, and you can't die ten thousand times, and you should do everything with soldiers, from this point of view, you are right in this matter, but, Qian Degong, Qian Degong, what do you say I want me to say about you?"

Shi Ziye's shaking his head and sighing, let Qian Degong's heart be a bitterness, in fact, the reason why he did this at the beginning was that he had no other ideas, just to force Huang Taiji to withdraw his troops, although there was only a picture on the painting, no words, but anyone who has read the book basically knows the picture after tasting, so, that is, ...... That is, in fact, it is just to stimulate Huang Taiji and the high-level executives around him.

"Shizi Ye, the minister was also helpless at that time, the barbed wire was broken by Jiannu once, and it could be broken a second time, and the minister promised the lord that he would definitely hold Lushun, so the minister was thinking at that time, he must let Huang Taiji withdraw his troops, only Dolgon returned to the division, and the news of Abatai's death, it was difficult for him to return to the division, but if there was another Natu to provoke him, he, he would definitely have doubts, so he would retreat......"

Listening to Qian Degong's explanation, Zhu Guoqiang thought about it, and then said.

"That's it, I know about it, well, don't mention it again in the future, get up!"

In fact, the reason why I mentioned this matter is just to take the opportunity to knock Qian Degong, as for whether I have tasted it or not, I have tasted it anyway, that is, the whole world knows it, and what's the big deal, since it is a heroic thing, why avoid others?

At most, hundreds of years later, when the world talks about themselves, it is in a tone full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. said the last sentence - "De Shizi is young and beautiful, especially a good wife." ”

Yes, that is, the same treatment as Cao Mengde, we will also "copy" a few poems when we go back, and also show our cultural and martial arts.

However, Qian Degong's actions also made Zhu Guoqiang see the opportunity - the opportunity to further disintegrate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it seems that the contradiction between Huang Taiji and Dolgon is far deeper than originally thought, and it can even be so deep that Huang Taiji took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

In fact, if it was replaced by a Central Plains regime, it would not necessarily have such an effect, but the Manchu Qing had just transitioned from a tribal alliance to a state, and as a strong contender for the throne, it was almost natural to take the opportunity to seize power when the emperor's reputation was discredited, and what was needed now was to add fuel to the fire.

After Qian Degong got up cautiously, Zhu Guoqiang said again.

"As for asking for guilt or something, don't say it anymore, the most important thing now is to consider how to settle these people, this is hundreds of thousands of people, these people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, how to settle down, this is the first tough battle in the future!"
