Gang Lin smiled bitterly: "In the past two years, the Jin merchants have donated three times, and the total amount of silver has reached six or seven million taels...... Now that the imperial court wants to set up a water division, the money of the household department is not enough, and it is also fighting the idea of the Jin merchants, and the Jin merchants have already complained a lot. Moreover, even if they donate this time, I am afraid that they will continue to be involved in the monopoly rights of iron and salt in the provinces. The key point is that they privately sold iron ore and other materials to Jiangnan for huge profits, and Jiangnan used iron ore to smelt steel, make muskets and artillery, and then sell them back to the north...... Lord, this is a dove to quench your thirst. ”

Dorgon was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "The lesser of two evils!" First set the east of Zhejiang, and then go back and take back the franchises of the Jin merchants...... A group of vendors, greedy too much, is self-defeating! ”

Gang Lin's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

"How's the Northwest War going?"

"Back to the prince's words, it is going very well." Ganglin replied with a few treasures: "Wu Sangui led the army from Xi'an to attack Hanzhong, Meng Qiaofang's army entered Lanzhou westward, and Wang Yongqiang led a partial division to attack Yulin, but they did not encounter strong resistance and went smoothly. ”

Dolgon's brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded: "As long as the northwest is pacified, the army can be transferred south and Yungui can be pacified." In this way, the Yixing Dynasty was difficult to support alone, and it was surrounded by the king on three sides...... At that time, this little southern barbarian will also be exiled to the sea. ”

Ganglin secretly glanced at Dolgon and hesitated: "Lord Wang, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's troops entered Guangdong, and the progress was not very smooth. ”

Dolgon's brow furrowed again, "Speak." ”

"Yes." Gang Lin pondered the words and said, "The remnants of the original Great Western Army are now attached to the Yongli Dynasty, among which the combat strength of Li Dingguo, the king of Anxi, is extremely strong, and its troops have advanced north to the vicinity of the Jiuxi River in Anshun, which is equivalent to half of Guizhou, and is already under the control of the Great Western Army. It was difficult for the troops of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao to complete the encirclement of Li Dingguo's troops, and the two sides were in a confrontation...... Therefore, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao's troops may be delayed in entering Guangdong, and it will take time to pacify Zheng Sen. ”

Dolgon let out a long breath, raised his head and said, "If my brother Duoduo is still here, Fujian and Guangdong must have been pacified...... If this king has a strong body, how can he fight against this king? Providence......! ”

……。

It's late at night.

In the main house of General Luanyi's mansion, the lights are bright.

Dong Gu held his cheeks, looked at the shaking candle flame, and was stupid.

The maid Chun Tao'er persuaded on the side: "Gege, I'm afraid I won't come tonight...... Please go to bed sooner. ”

Dong Gu's posture did not move, and he said: "Is it that I am not as beautiful as that Qingyin?" Or am I ...... to him Not good enough? ”

Chun Tao bit her lip and said, "Gege is beautiful, like a fairy, how can it be compared to that hook slut?" Besides, if it weren't for Gege to hide it from the prince, I am afraid that the life of the forehead would not be guaranteed. Gege is very good to his forehead, and his love is deep-rooted, and he is afraid that there are few ...... in the world. ”

"Then why would he rather go to see Qingyin than come to see me?"

When Chun Tao heard this, she was speechless for a while.

Looking at Dong Ge's unyielding appearance, Chun Tao sighed and said, "Gege is helping the forehead so much, isn't he afraid that the prince will know and blame him?" ”

Dong Gu looked at the candle flame stupidly, and after a while, he replied: "He is a good person...... There are good people and bad people in our clan, and there must be the same among the Han people. ”

Chun Tao was a little resentful, it stands to reason that she is Dongguo's personal maid since she was a child, which is usually the girl who is talking about the room.

The status of the girl in the house is not high, this is relative to the master.

But if it's in front of the subordinate, it's half a master.

But Shen Zhiyuan didn't even touch Dongguo, so it would be even more unacceptable.

Therefore, Chuntao's resentment towards Shen Zhiyuan in his heart is especially better than that of Dongguo.

Her eyes flickered, and she said softly, "Gege, or ...... Let's not hide it from the prince, after all, the prince is your biological father, and it is unreasonable to deceive your father for an outsider. ”

Dong Gu suddenly raised his head, glared at Chun Tao and said, "The Han people talk about marrying chickens with chickens, and marrying dogs with dogs." ”

Chun Tao was speechless, and after a while, she smiled bitterly: "My Gege, alas, you are a man...... Dignified white flag, registered Dorogge. ”

Dong Gu's eyes were misty, and she shouted: "It's easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it's rare to have a lover ......." ”

Yes, this little girl, I'm afraid that she has been poisoned by love.

……。

Anshun Prefecture, in the Hongwu period, was formed by the merger of Pudingwei and Xi'an Prefecture, and after the Wanli period, it was changed to the Anshun Military and Civil Government, and the government was located in Anshun.

As the sun sets, the sky turns golden, and on the fields on the banks of the Jiuxi River, the people begin to pack up their farm tools, end their day's work, and prepare to go home.

A young general, with a few soldiers, rode slowly on the ridge in the field.

Seeing the people approaching, the general smiled and jumped off his horse.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, in your opinion, how is the harvest of this year's autumn grain?"

An old farmer of half a hundred, stretched out the furrow on his face, smiled, bent down and said: "Back to the prince's words, this year's wind and rain are smooth, and with the blessing of the prince, it will definitely be a bumper harvest year." ”

The general also laughed, "Does my husband recognize Li?" ”

"In this peaceful place, I'm afraid that there are not many people now, and they won't recognize the prince." The old farmer was obviously not frightened, and he chatted with Li Dingguo very naturally, as if he were with his family.

Li Dingguo approached with a smile, looked at the rattan basket in the old farmer's hand, and said with a smile: "This sweet potato is your ration?" ”

The old farmer lifted the basket and sent it to Li Dingguo, "Yes...... If the prince doesn't dislike it, why don't you eat one? ”

Li Dingguo really didn't dislike it, he took one from the basket casually, wiped it on his clothes, and put it in his mouth, "clicking" a mouthful.

The old farmer smiled and said, "The prince is really our own people." ”

Li Dingguo wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile while chewing: "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, I think back then, Li followed his father-in-law, and he also ate bark and grass roots, and it is good to have this thing to eat." ”

After chatting about some of the kung fu, the people gathered one after another.

Seeing that it was Li Dingguo, the king of Anxi, he couldn't help but surround Li Dingguo and laughed.

There was a bold middle-aged man who shouted loudly on the periphery, "King Anxi, when will the Great Western Army go to fight Guiyang Mansion?" ”

Li Dingguo laughed and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Grow your land in peace. ”

This caused the people to laugh.

The scene was unusually easy-going.

The old man from before asked: "Dare to ask the prince, the Great Western Army will not retreat again this time, right?" ”

Li Dingguo took another bite of the raw sweet potato in his hand, and muttered while chewing: "Of course I won't withdraw it...... This is the land of our Ming Dynasty, and if it is recovered, how can we let the Tartars occupy it again...... You say, "Isn't it?" ”

"Yes——!" The fields were filled with laughter.
