Chapter 160: Looking at the Wind
Liu Yongxi already laughed when he heard this: "What does it mean to be sincere enough? ”
Chen Guifei immediately replied: "Naturally, it is the story of Empress Fengtian and Xiying, since Your Majesty can accommodate all rivers, it can naturally accommodate a few women." ”
Chen Guifei said this very boldly, so Liu Yongxi couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect me to be this kind of image in the hearts of people all over the world?" I'm afraid that future generations will laugh at me!"
Before Chen Guifei could speak, Bai Guifei had already replied first: "Since Your Majesty can accept all rivers, since this world is Your Majesty's world, who dares to laugh at Your Majesty, and I think Sister Chen's idea is really good, it may not be effective against thieves and bandits, but it will definitely have a miraculous effect against Jianyu!"
The current Great Qing Kingdom has just entered the customs, and it has not yet been able to get rid of the barbarian nature, so in the eyes of Chen Guifei and Bai Guifei, no matter how out of the ordinary idea, there is no problem, the key is to see the effect.
And Empress Gao also agreed with the two of them: "Your Majesty has sacrificed a lot for the world, but for the sake of the country for generations to come, I am afraid that I will continue to sacrifice my ego, and even if the advice of the two sisters has no effect, there will be no loss." ”
Empress Gao's flattery made Liu Yongxi finally moved: "Since the queen said so, it's better to give it a try first, Concubine Chen!"
Hearing Liu Yongxi call her name, Chen Guifei was naturally extremely happy: "Your Majesty, the concubines are all at your disposal!"
Liu Yongxi nodded: "This letter to the Qing court will be handed over to you to be responsible." ”
Chen Guifei came from a scholar's family, and the essay pen was naturally above Liu Yongxi, and Liu Yongxi believed that no matter how elegant Chen Guifei's writing was, there were naturally literati and writers in the Qing Dynasty who translated the meaning of the letter very accurately.
And Chen Guifei and Bai Guifei can only watch the military affairs of the five provinces of Empress Gao and the governor of Gao in general, but they don't dare to interfere in anything, so after hearing Liu Yongxi's arrangement, they naturally cheered and jumped up, and even hugged Liu Yongxi and gave a burst of fragrant kisses.
And Empress Gao also said with a smile when she saw this scene: "Let's stay with the younger sisters tonight, Chen Yuanyuan, who is alluring to the city, is finally willing to dance for His Majesty, and when the time comes, please ask the four younger sisters to come together to check the gates!"
Of course, Liu Yongxi knew that since Empress Gao was ready to use Chen Yuanyuan's trump card, it was definitely not for such a trivial thing as dancing, but which man could refuse this most romantic scene in life, so the sun was blazing in his heart: "I think the four concubines are also alluring to the country and the city, and they will not be inferior to Chen Yuanyuan!"
This is exactly the praise that Chen Guifei and Bai Guifei want to hear the most, they did not hesitate to take off their coats, and the scene became fleshy: "The concubine also wants to compare with this Chen Yuanyuan to see how beautiful her dancing is!"
But no matter how hot the scene becomes, it will only cheapen Liu Yongxi in the end.
Liu Yongxi's decision naturally caused huge controversy in the government and the opposition, and many righteous men and gentlemen felt that this Chengtian Emperor was not the best candidate to be the son of today at all, but an out-and-out martial artist.
But they can only hide these criticisms in their hearts, or write poems of an allusive nature and don't even dare to publish them publicly, and they can only hear a flood of praise for the great tomorrow in any public scene.
Now that the world is already the world of the Chengtian Dynasty, then everyone can only praise the Chengtian Emperor according to the new rules of the Chengtian Dynasty, otherwise it will be an unimaginable tragic ending, and these dissatisfied people can only pin their hopes on the fury of the Great Qing Kingdom.
In their imagination, although Jianyu was new to the Central Plains, he would definitely be furious when he heard such unreasonable terms, and Emperor Chengtian would definitely pay an extremely heavy price for his nonsense, and then they, the righteous gentlemen, would be able to stand up and clean up the mess.
But the development of things is similar to Chen Guifei's conjecture, since the Great Qing Kingdom has just entered the Central Plains, it is naturally a group of barbarians.
These barbarians naturally have no concept of chastity, and after receiving Liu Yongxi's letter, they all feel reassured.
They were not worried that the conditions put forward by Emperor Chengtian in the letter were too harsh and unkind, but they were worried that Liu Yongxi would not put forward specific conditions, as long as Liu Yongxi was willing to put forward the conditions, they could naturally talk about it slowly.
After receiving the letter, the Qing Dynasty mobilized with astonishing efficiency, and immediately collected a number of beauties who were second to none in the world as bargaining chips in negotiations with the Chengtian Dynasty, including some wives and daughters of Han officials.
It's just that since these Han officials have been demoted, they naturally can't talk about much shame and discipline, not to mention the appearance of Manchurian relatives and nobles: "Not to mention your family at this time, even the Manchurian nobles and even the queen mother of our Great Qing Kingdom are ready to sacrifice for the country!"
And the Han officials who descended to the Qing Dynasty also completed the psychological reconstruction in a very short time, they were the strongest group of people in the Qing Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty, always thinking about how to turn defeat into victory, but now they have become the most staunch allies of the Chengtian Dynasty, and they have been planning all day long how to invite the Chengtian Emperor into Beijing.
In fact, this is only one side of the chaos of the Qing Dynasty, and although Dolgon has all his shortcomings, he is at least a stern dictator with the power to speak above the court.
After Dolgon's death, the Qing Dynasty was already Kowloon to control the water, and when it was a big fuss but could not deal with the aftermath, in the end, everyone could only invite a few queens and favorite concubines left by Huang Taiji, hoping that they would stand up and solve the problem, but soon some people persuaded them to sacrifice themselves to complete the country.
Anyway, the rule of the Great Qing State has completely lost control, and even ignores the soaring Northern Expeditionary Army, allowing them to come and go.
For the Yue Ming army, they originally thought that they would encounter quite fierce resistance after crossing the north bank of the Yellow River, but because the Qing Dynasty could not form a core of resistance at all, this northern expedition was more like a wartime march, and there was almost no organized resistance, but instead surrendered like rain.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rain of generals, tens of thousands of Qing troops have surrendered to the Chengtian Empire within ten days, and there are real Manchurian Eight Banners among them.
Before the war, even the most optimistic estimate was that they would surrender some of the Mongolian and Eight Banners Han armies, but now there are not only the real Mongolian Eight Banners, but even many Manchurian Eight Banners, including senior officers of the level of Gushan Ezhen.
Even Liu Yongxi did not expect that the defeat of the Azig army would cause such a big psychological blow to the Qing army, he originally thought that the Manchurian Eight Banners would insist on resisting until the last moment even if there were only one or two Niu Lu left, but he did not expect that the Manchurian Eight Banners would lead their troops to surrender in hundreds.
Although these surrendered Gushan Ezhen and Jiala Ezhen were all temporary parallel goods, and more than half of the armor soldiers under their command were the result of temporarily raising the flag, the Qing Dynasty originally thought that these Gushan Ezhen and Jiama Ezhen would organize quite strong resistance.
But now no one is willing to die for the senseless martyrdom of the Qing Dynasty, and these Eight Banner officers also revealed many important inside stories to Liu Yongxi and the Yue Ming army, and even hoped to become the vanguard of the Yue Ming army's northern expedition.
Even Liu Yongxi felt that these Eight Banner officers seemed to be too positive, but these Eight Banner officers defended themselves eloquently: "Didn't you Chengtian Dynasty have such a precedent? Empress Fengtian Gao and Zhang Xianzhong's four queens, and now the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army are not the main forces of this Northern Expedition? In this case, our Great Qing Kingdom can also do this, and aren't you Emperor Chengtian ready to make our Empress of the Great Qing Kingdom and Fujin his woman? ”
Many officers felt that such an ending was laughable, they had thought that Liu Yongxi's idea was completely fanciful, and that these Manchurians and Mongols had completely different ideas from the Han Chinese, and they not only thought that it was a shame, but that it was a blessing.
It's just that there are many such precedents in the history of the rise of the Qing Dynasty, and even Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have such a history of self-sacrifice, so these Eight Banner officers who can't find any way out will choose to cooperate with the Yue Ming army.
Since the generals are raining down, and there are thousands of elites of the Eight Banners who have surrendered together, no one is willing to die for the Qing Dynasty now, not to mention that the orders issued by the Qing Dynasty are completely unreasonable and even hope to negotiate with the Chengtian Empire, so the war has become unsuspenseful.
Therefore, the conditions put forward by Liu Yongxi in the letter became more and more harsh, the advance of the Yue Ming army became faster and faster, and the rank of those who surrendered became higher and higher, but everyone felt that this was a reasonable development, and even the Qing court felt that it should be so.
"Shaanxi has recovered the whole province, and it will only take three or five days to recover Taiyuan!"
Liu Yongxi really didn't expect his sacrifice to trigger such a chain reaction, he told Empress Gao and Li Xiangjun who accompanied the army on the expedition: "I didn't expect the collapse of the Great Qing Kingdom to come so quickly, I always thought that they would retreat outside the Guan!"
Liu Yongxi's biggest concern before was that the main force of the Qing State gave up outside the Guan, and if the Qing army really wanted to do this, Liu Yongxi would definitely have a headache, but now that the Qing State has placed all its hopes on negotiations, Liu Yongxi is naturally ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and not give the Qing Kingdom any chance, but Empress Gao reminded Liu Yongxi: "Your Majesty should try to be as careful as possible, when Jianyu is really insidious, it is impossible to prevent it, and you must not give up your efforts at this time!"
She couldn't help but think of the Battle of a Stone, the Dashun Army had been fighting for more than ten years and saw that it had been completed, but in the end it was abandoned because of the Battle of a Stone, and Liu Yongxi understood her feelings: "I also feel that something will definitely happen when I go to the city of Beijing, Jianyu will definitely not sit still, and something will definitely happen next!"
The development of things was just as Liu Yongxi estimated, and soon a completely unexpected news came from the front line: "Qing King Su Wang Haoge led 10,000 troops to surrender!"
