Surround Qufu and encircle the point to send reinforcements, this is the old method of the Qing army, but the old method also has times when it is not bright!

"Lord Wang, I'm afraid the siege of Qufu will be protracted!"

Fan Wencheng reminded in a hoarse voice: "The slave knows that Nan Kou has made a bloody investment in Qufu since last year. Shi Kefa, the governor of the seven provinces, was directly stationed in Qufu, training troops, accumulating grain, and repairing cities...... Today's Qufu is afraid that it has become a golden soup city, and I am not afraid that we will surround it. ”

"There is no city in the world that is not afraid of siege," Dolgon smiled, "only a city that cannot be besieged...... But Qufu is not a city that cannot be encircled! What about Shi Kefa's training in Qufu? Can the soldiers he trained still defeat our Eight Banners? ”

"Impossible!" Duoduo laughed and said, "If he had this ability, the Southern Dynasty would not have fallen into such a field as it is today." ”

Dolgon nodded, "yes, how much grain can he accumulate in Qufu?" Is it enough to eat for a few years? ”

Fan Wencheng said: "It depends on how many people eat it...... If there are only a few thousand defenders, it will be enough to eat for three or five years, but if there are tens of thousands of refugees, it will not be enough to eat. ”

Dorgon looked at Dorgon with a smile, "Do you know what to do?" ”

"Got it," Duoduo smiled, "this time kill less Nikan, and rush to Qufu...... Look at how much food Scofa can feed them! ”

"It's not that you don't kill less," Dolgon shook his head, "if you can, you won't kill it!" ”

Can you not kill without killing? Duoduo was stunned, what's the matter with Brother Fourteen? Sudden kindness? Fasting and chanting Buddha? I haven't heard of it!

"Brother Fourteen, what did you say?" Dodor asked.

Dorgon said, "I tell you to kill less, and if you can, you won't kill...... Don't go anywhere, you know? ”

"Why?" Duoduo was stunned for a moment, "We have been killed like this in the Qing Dynasty for so many years, why don't you kill it now?" ”

Dolgon smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "If you kill again, there will be no one to pay taxes!" ”

It turned out that the leeks were gone...... The territory of the Qing Dynasty today cannot be compared with the same period in history. The stable ruling area in Guannai is Beizhili, excluding parts of Shanxi Province in Datong Province and Luliang Mountain, as well as four provinces in Henan Province, including Zhangde Mansion, Weihui Prefecture, Huaiqing Prefecture and Henan Prefecture.

The "package" of enclosing land, occupying houses, charging and fleeing people in Beizhili is complete, and the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers have houses and land, but the Qing Dynasty doesn't want to think about how much tax to collect from Beizhili. Uncle Eight Banners will not pay taxes and grain, and there are still 30 million acres of land left in Beizhili that have not been encircled, and now a small half of it has been abandoned - those who have the conditions to run away have run away, and those who have no conditions have no intention of farming, they are all worried, and they don't know when they will become flag slaves!

As for the commerce of Beijing City and Tianjin Wei, it is also withered.

On the one hand, due to the interruption of north-south transportation, bulk north-south freight has been suspended, and there is no business to do.

On the other hand, the economic basis of the Eight Banners Group is the manor serf economy, which is self-sufficient and has limited demand for commerce. It was enough to have the nine imperial merchants and the port trade at the mouth of Dagu, because there was not much turnover, and the taxes that the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Office could receive were limited - the customs duties of the Qing Dynasty were all owned by the Internal Affairs Government.

On the Shanxi side, because Datong Mansion and Luliangshan were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, the war between the two sides did not end. All kinds of lass and apportionments, and the errands to support the front line are continuous, where is the spare energy to pay taxes to the imperial court? Besides, the Jin merchants and gentry in Shanxi all supported the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty couldn't loot and hate them too much, and then force them to the side of the Ming Dynasty!

And the territory in Henan Province doesn't have to think about it...... That area is the place where the Ming army and the Liukou have been fighting for many years, and they have come and gone to fight I don't know how many times! Later, the Qing army joined in, and they didn't know that their subordinates were merciful, and almost scraped several prefectures in Henan into white ground. If you want to scrape the ground again, you will have to scrape it to the ground, and then Hauge will really become the master of Fachu Belle!

As for Shaanxi, now the Qing, Shun, and Wu families are in full swing, and it is not that the white land will be white sooner or later, what kind of money and food do you want......

Therefore, Dolgon, the head of the Qing Dynasty, is now also beginning to worry about the lack of money and food!

"Fourteenth brother," Duoduo was also embarrassed, "people want to kill less, what about property?" Do you have to grab a little less? ”

Dorgon nodded and sighed, "It's time to grab a little less...... It's all over, the Nikans can't survive, they either run away or starve to death, and no one will pay taxes to the court in the coming year!

Now the imperial court has no money and food in the account, and it is all supported by the old foundation. However, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan are all at war, and Liaodong and Liaoxi are also not at peace, and they are moving borders and immigrating, so they have to ask the imperial court to send money.

And the battle of Shandong does not look like it can be fought in a short period of time...... And fighting a war costs money and food, not counting Wu Sangui's people, the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers that we can control together have 200,000 together, and the silver spent every month is really the same as the flow of water!

Old fifteen, the route of your march this time is roughly along the canal, and they are all rich lands. If you can take it all, you will be able to have a large amount of money and food in your account this autumn. ”

"But if you don't let you kill or rob, what kind of energy does the big guy have?" Dodor frowned.

Dolgon thinks about it, if you don't rob or kill, what strength does the Eight Banners Green Battalion have? But the problem is that they are allowed to kill and rob, and what they fight is a piece of white land, who will the court find to collect money and grain?

The Eight Banners are supported by Qitian, and they don't pay their salaries, so they can rely on Qitian and robbery alone. But now the scale of the green battalion is getting bigger and bigger, and the green battalion has no military fields, so it relies on robbery and military pay. But the windfall of robbery is not every day, and if there is no certain amount of money and food support, the green battalion soldiers will not have to run out?

"Master Fan, you have a lot of ideas, you say!" Dolgon really had no tricks, so he had to ask Fan Wencheng.

But Fan Wencheng, a bachelor's degree, has limited knowledge and is not a master of financial management...... Even if you are a master, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice!

"This ......" Fan Wencheng frowned and thought for a while, and really held back a move, "Lord Wang, why don't the heavenly soldiers spare Dongchang, Jinan, and Yanzhou and not rob them, and then rob them when the soldiers arrive in Xuzhou?" In fact, Dongchang, Jinan, and Yanzhou have all been robbed by us, and there is not much oil and water. However, Xuzhou has not robbed it, and this time it can be robbed. Moreover, Xuzhou is on the edge of the big river, close to the Huai River, and the surrounding rivers are vertical and horizontal, which is not conducive to the play of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, so they can be plundered and abandoned. ”

Dodor said, "What if there is a city that dares to resist the heavenly soldiers? Is it going to be slaughtered according to the rules? ”

"This ......," Dolgon looked at Fan Wencheng again.

"Lord Wang, that's the old rule." Fan Wencheng said, "Not slaughtering the city is not enough to shock people's hearts!"

However, we can try our best to appease the army, if we can surrender the army without a fight, there will naturally be fewer slaughters and looting. ”

"That's right," Dorgon looked at Dodor, "Fifteen, will you appease?" ”

"Me?" Duoduo turned his face to look at Fan Wencheng, the minion, "Fan Wencheng, why don't you follow me and be responsible for appeasing?" ”

"Master, the slave is not familiar with Shandong ......" Fan Wencheng is not stupid, so he will not take on such a thankless errand - if the appeasement is successful, he can't slaughter the city and loot, how much offend people! The appeasement was unsuccessful, and Dolgon was not happy, and his head was not safe.

However, he couldn't help but give Duoduo an explanation, so he thought about it: "But the slave can recommend one person." ”

"Who?" Duoduo asked.

"The former squire of the military department, Sun Zhiqi," Fan Wencheng said, "he is from Shandong, so he must be familiar with the situation." ”

Sun Zhiqi submitted his resignation a while ago, saying that he was not in good health and wanted to retire. However, Dorgon did not let him leave Beijing, but only exempted him from sending him to defend the election. And Sun Zhiqi has nowhere to go for a while, his hometown is still the territory of Daming! So I rented a house in the outer city of Beijing, and a large family lived there with a large family.

"It's okay," Dolgon touched his head, "let him come out again to be an official, and let him be a ...... Be the governor of Shandong! This is his last chance, if he doesn't do it well, he will be slaughtered all over the house! ”
