In his mind, he recalled the charming scene in the Sanguan Temple, and the body that was completely different from the Central Plains woman, like a little mare galloping under his crotch at will. In the blink of an eye, the host and guest shifted, changing from knight to harnessed, and the two bodies exchanged sweat and bodily fluids in this early summer season.

He began to be a little bolder, peeking at the throne under the eaves in front of the main hall, and saw the emperor sitting in the middle, with a happy expression. He didn't have to ask others, he understood in his heart at a glance: the middle-aged woman sitting on the left side of the emperor must be the empress, and the young woman of Peugeot sitting on the right must be the favored concubine of Yongfu Palace. He couldn't help but sigh again in his heart that the Qing Kingdom was indeed a country that still maintained the customs of Yidi and was not a civilized country of etiquette and music. According to the Ming system, the concubine will never leave the deep palace, and even the ministers who are close to her will not be able to see it. Even if the queen mother is young and occasionally comes to the court, she must hang a bead curtain three feet away in front of the throne, which is called "hanging the curtain to listen to the government". She can see the ministers in the curtain, and the ministers can't see her, how can she be like Manchuria! He didn't dare to think about it, and warned himself in his heart that he must praise the "national customs" and never have the idea of valuing the man and ignoring the complacency, which would lead to the disaster of death.

Hong Chengchou thought that although he had become a subordinate in this life, he had received such favor and attention from the Qing lord when he had not surrendered, and so secretly made his favorite concubine go to the prison twice, personally hold the soup, persuade him to drink softly, and even have the grace of reinvention to pull him back from the brink of death! This is really a rare blessing, and I should really be grateful for the picture. However, he thought about it again, the Qing lord ordered Concubine Zhuang to do this must be extremely secret, and if he leaked it in the future, or if he was slightly disloyal to the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely die; Moreover, if Lord Qing and Concubine Zhuang regret this matter in the future, he will also have unforeseen disasters. Thinking like this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, and he didn't dare to peek at Concubine Zhuang anymore.

While pretending to enjoy the performance in the field. While slowly looking away, he couldn't attract the attention of others.

Suddenly, his gaze collided with the gaze of Concubine Zhuang next to him, who was also looking at Concubine Zhuang greedily and fiercely! The master of that gaze is none other than Prince Dolgon, who is hot at the moment, with a population of no less than 100,000 soldiers and a lot of clothed minions!

He chuckled in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of mood came to his heart! The instinctive reaction of a male animal to another male when he sets his eyes on his mate. jealousy, preparing to fight back, and so on, and the deeper impulse of a courtier to be loyal when he finds that someone covets the emperor's possession.

However, what made his heart sink sharply was that another gaze was also unscrupulously projected on a flag-clad lady beside Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace. That's Huang Taiji's queen, Concubine Zhuang's aunt Zhezhe!

The owner of this gaze is Dolgon's younger brother, the Prince of Yu Duoduo, who is known as the absurd prince!

Although this philosopher is over forty years old. But the charm still exists, which makes people vaguely see the elegance of the first beauty in Horqin back then. Duoduo lost his mother at a young age, and there was a plot of mother-lover, although this philosopher was a little older, but he was a queen, graceful and luxurious, with his own attractiveness, and the charm of a mature woman. There is still a great temptation for a young man like Dord.

"Alas!" Hong Chengchou faced the two brothers, but he could only retreat. Anyone he can't afford to mess with. Let alone. Among these nomadic fishing and hunting peoples, there were originally fathers who died, and sons inherited the tradition of their father's wives and concubines. Fathers are like this, let alone older brothers' women?

Resisting the urge to complain about the wind in his heart, Hong Chengchou set his eyes on the pairs of lions that were performing in the venue.

He also saw the fierce "national customs" from the shape of the lion's head. He didn't dare to be picky in his heart, and his colleagues on the left and right happily admired the "lion rolling hydrangea".

After this grand and enthusiastic celebration, there was also a lot of discussion. Rumors are rife. Many Manchurian princes and ministers discussed in private, believing that Huang Taiji treated Hong Chengchou too seriously and rewarded him too much. Some people even said: "After many years of hard work and blood for the emperor, he is not as good as a minister of the Southern Dynasty who was captured alive and surrendered." "After the kings and Baylor of the garrison in the Jinzhou area returned. There are more such dissatisfied remarks, and some of them involve Concubine Zhuang disguised as a palace maid to go to Sanguan Temple to send ginseng soup.

Huang Taiji must quickly suppress these gossip. On this day, after the morning sacrifice in Qingning Palace, Huang Taiji left a part of the Manchu princes and Baylor to eat meat. These people all had many military exploits, and they were enthusiastic about opening up territory for the Qing Dynasty, and they were eager to swallow half of China as soon as possible. After eating meat, Huang Taiji asked them: "We have not sheltered from the wind and rain for many years, we have been willing to risk arrows and stones, sent troops deep into the territory of the Ming Kingdom several times, and recently captured the four cities of Songshan, Jinzhou, Xingshan, and Tashan, what is the reason?" ”

The people replied, "For the sake of the Central Plains." ”

Huang Taiji nodded and smiled and said, "That's right." For example, a group of people walking, you are all blind, rushing around. Now that I have someone to guide the way, how can I not be happy in my heart? How can I not reward him so that he may serve me? Hong Chengchou is a good guide, you know? ”

Everyone replied: "The emperor is sage! ”

Huang Taiji laughed and waved everyone out.

A few days later, in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion, the princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu and Han officials, gathered here for a court meeting today. After the Battle of Songjin and Guangning, the Qing State should be calculated.

Although there are many crowns, everyone knows that in fact, only Emperor Huang Taiji himself, Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Yu Duoduo brothers, and Hong Chengchou, who has just surrendered to Shun and has not yet been assigned, are only a few people.

Looking at the group of princes and ministers, civil and military officials, and the nouveau riche spirit on their faces, they couldn't help but make Huang Taiji sneer in his heart, "A group of rat-eyed people! However, when he turned his head and saw the biggest nouveau riche in his heart in the queue, and saw their plain expressions, Huang Taiji suddenly felt that those guys with rat eyes were so cute.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Huang Taiji set the tone for this court meeting: "The Southern Dynasty will definitely continue to fight, but after repeated wars, the country also needs to recuperate, and my Eight Banners soldiers must recuperate." Therefore, the overly harsh approach should not be mentioned today. ”

In order to add convincing power to his words, under the hint of Huang Taiji, Hubu Chengzheng stood up and reported the losses and seizures of the Great War of Liaoxi to everyone present.

But. Before reporting the seizure figures, he threw out a sentence that made everyone feel terrified.

"Although we are called victorious, we are actually worse than the defeated Ming army!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring a scoop of cold water into a hot oil pot, which aroused a huge reaction. In front of the Ten Kings Pavilion, which was originally quiet and solemn. It immediately became as noisy as a bazaar.

The lords of the Baylor banner are a little confused! We obviously won a big battle and defeated the nine general soldiers of the Ming Kingdom, that is, even the Jiliao Governor of the Ming Kingdom has become a slave in front of the emperor, how can we say that we are worse than the Ming army?!

In the face of everyone's accusations, he was not afraid, and fluently reported a series of numbers: "Prince Yu, Tashan fought a battle, beheaded and cannonballed." And the stumps made up on the battlefield can be roughly inferred that Ning Yuanbo's daughter lost about 4,000 people, was there a mistake? Faced with this figure, which was very close to that in his own military newspaper, the most powerful Duo Duo could only snort in his nose, which could be regarded as an answer.

"But, Lord Rui, you blocked Li Huamei, the scarlet-winged tiger, in the area of Tashan and Songshan, but you suffered casualties and lost 20,000 soldiers and horses!" For this number. The generals of the two white flags and the first series suddenly drooped their heads like deflated balls.

"Liaoxi. Jinzhou, Guangning, several major battles, Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, and the preliminary statistics of the Han Army Banner, the losses were around 30,000 people. ”

"The cities in southern Liaoning were plundered by Wu Sangui Shilang and the two Nikans, and the strong men were calculated according to 50,000!"

"All kinds of other losses are also more than 50,000, a total of more than 100,000!"

"All of the above. All the losses add up, and I estimate a total loss of about 150,000! These numbers do not include the Mongol divisions of the Outer Domains and the Korean Army. ”

The words of the household department made the originally noisy Ten Kings Pavilion as silent and silent as the ancient temple in the mountains. If a few more crows fly by, it can be used as a set for the theme of Liaozhai.

"The First Battle of Quang Ninh. Although I have harvested a lot in the Qing Dynasty, I have seized a lot of grain and grass. But after careful calculation, the master may not be able to make up for the above losses! The population obtained was mainly Ding Zhuang of the Ming army, which was only seventy or eighty thousand people! ”

Although the seized materials, money, food, weapons, knives and guns are not small, if you look at it on the big plate of the entire Qing Kingdom, it will be beyond your means. Not to mention anything else, more than a dozen cities in southern Liaoning were set on fire by Wu Sangui and Shi Lang. ”

The words of the Hebu Chengzheng were like a volley of firecrackers, and they hit the hearts of the princes and Baylors round after round, making them frightened, and they wanted to step forward to strangle this mourning guy, but the bloody and painful facts were there! On the Liaodong Peninsula, the old capital of Liaoyang is basically in ruins. Almost all the steel-making and iron-smelting furnaces outside Liaoyang City were destroyed, but fortunately, Chen Banda made a quick decision and withdrew all the craftsmen into Liaoyang City in time, and the craftsmen suffered no loss.

The elite population can be replenished through the captives, but it is really not possible to go south and grab it again, if these guys who know how to cast guns and smelt steel have losses, I am afraid that the blow to the Qing State will be far greater than the simple loss of Ding Zhuang's population.

Just when many people were grieving over these huge loss figures, suddenly, there was a howling cry from the queue of the two red flags.

But it was a Meler Zhangjing who was ordered to reinforce Liaoyang and pursue the retreating troops of Wu Sangui and Shi Lang.

"Your Majesty, you can definitely avenge the minions in southern Liaoning. Shi Lang and Wu Sangui are too ruthless, Ding Zhuang and the old and young in southern Liaoning were swept away, and the Han people could still be transported to the south to work, and almost all of our servants of the Eight Banners were killed. And the means are extremely cruel, listen to the living minions, some minions do not surrender, the two dog-day Nikan nailed our minions to the road to cushion the road, people and horses stepped through, from Liaoyang to the sea on the road, all of them are flesh and blood blurred, that scene, the minions also followed the Mandate of Heaven several times to send troops and horses, crawled out of the pile of dead, but I have never seen such a scene, it is simply miserable! ”

The blood and tears accusation against this Meler Zhangjing immediately resonated with everyone present. The queue of the Eight Banners couldn't help but let out bursts of angry scolding, and they hated Shi Lang Wu Sangui from the bottom of their hearts, although they had done it countless times in Liaodong and Guannei. But when they become prisoners of other people's swords, and enjoy the day of this fatal pleasure of not knowing when they will die, they will still naturally feel that their opponent is too cruel. Just like a certain Oriental island nation later. I always say that I am the only country that has been bombed by the atomic bomb, and when I have nothing to do, I make a film about the son of the atomic bomb to make some sensationalism, bitterness, and pathos, but I don't tell others, why are you the only ones who enjoy the actual operation of the second and third atomic bombs of mankind?

That five-foot snowfall in the sky in one night certainly helped the Liao thieves a lot, and created a huge obstacle to Shi Lang and Wu Sangui's offensive on the Liaodong Peninsula. Let these two realize the difficulty of taking the cannon emperor more than 200 years in advance. But there are two sides to everything. The blow of this heavy snow to the thieves was also huge.

In addition to helping to block Wu Sangui's offensive, the snow disaster left more disasters such as snowmelt floods and spring floods for the Liao thieves. Before that, the lack of food and fuel alone was enough. The loss of other local populations mentioned by the Ministry of Households, many of whom died of cold and starvation in southern Liaoning. The wild wolves are all frozen to death, not to mention the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind by these thieves? It must be known that in the hearts of the Liao thieves, the sea was the best barrier in the Qing Dynasty after he killed Mao Wenlong, who was arrogant and lawless and did not listen to the dispatch from the sea from time to time. The Liaodong Peninsula is the most reliable rear, who would have thought that the enemy would kill from the sea?

Huang Taiji's face was also gloomy, thinking of the loss of those population cities, he couldn't help but feel a burst of dizziness in front of him, and a burst of colic in his heart. However, as the supreme leader, he must make sure that Mount Tai collapses before and his color remains unchanged. Trying to calm his feelings, he said in a calm tone that was almost weird: "You don't have to be sad. Wu Sangui Shi Lang and the two thieves did a lot of evil, did not think that God has the virtue of a good life, and wantonly slaughtered the good people of the Qing Dynasty. They will be rejected by heaven! Otherwise, how could the goddess Fokulun rain heavy snow to punish these two thieves? Although they are alive now, they are just surviving, and the goddess Fokulun will naturally take the lives of the two of them when she recovers her mana. The most urgent task now is to make sure that I can recuperate and recuperate so that I can fight again. ”

"I have an idea, now there is a temporary truce between the north and the south. It is useless to raise soldiers for the time being, I am a soldier in the Eight Banners in wartime, and a soldier in peacetime. Since there is a shortage of people in southern Liaoning, it is better to disperse the minions of various departments to produce in tuntian in various parts of southern Liaoning. One is to reduce the burden of grain and wages, and the other is to restore production in southern Liaoning. Anyone who goes to Liaonan. All rations, seeds, farm tools, land, and houses are built by themselves, and after completion, they are all owned by individuals. It is believed that after such a few years, southern Liaoning will be able to regain its vitality. ”

After saying this, others were easy to say, and Dolgon couldn't help but curse in his heart: You dead black fat man, you are really scheming, you think I can't see it? This is clearly a disguised deprivation of the military power in the hands of each flag owner! If you do as you say, it will be determined that most of the minions of each banner will be sent to Tuntian! Those minions of my two white flags, it's okay to say at this moment, for a long time, who still recognizes me, Prince Rui, no, I can't let the dead fat man get his wish.

He was using his brains with all his might, intending to find a reason to reject Huang Taiji's idea quietly, but over there, Huang Taiji named Hong Chengchou to express his views freely.

"His Majesty, as seen by the ministers, and what His Majesty said, can be summarized by rectifying military discipline, winning people's hearts, strengthening the army, rejuvenating businessmen, recuperating and recuperating, and resuming production!"

Hong Chengchou's words immediately made Huang Taiji's black face show a smile, and Dolgon's fast mind immediately found a breakthrough from Hong Chengchou's words.

"There are three hidden worries in the Southern Dynasty, taxes, thieves, and Li Shouhan. Needless to say, since the Wanli period, the three salaries have been increased, and the people have not been able to make a living. The thieves are now growing stronger and stronger, and the thieves are beginning to stop flowing, and they are based on the territory and guarding the officials to appease the people, and there is a faint tendency to divide the territory. I can't see through Li Shouhan, but his actions are bold and strong, and his actions are often unexpected. The Southern Dynasties now have two business zones in Tianjin and Shanghai County, and they also have great development in Shandong, Denglai and other places, and there is a vague confrontation with our Qing Dynasty across the sea. Such acts can be regarded as Cao Cao's living at any time. Therefore, regardless of their loyalty and treachery, it will be a domestic trouble for a long time. The Southern Dynasty had these three worries, how could Emperor Chongzhen be at ease? It is necessary to reconcile left and right, and maintain it before and after. If the emperor thinks so, then the party struggle in the court will be difficult to stop, and the matter of money and food will inevitably be a perennial deficit, so even if there are three strong armies, it is difficult to twist into a rope and become the enemy of our Qing Dynasty. His Majesty only needs to use peace as a means to prevent it from attacking our country wholeheartedly, and then for a long time, civil strife will inevitably arise in the Southern Dynasties, and at that time, our country will take the opportunity to go south, and great things can be accomplished. ”

"Mr. Hong, there are still three strong troops in the Southern Dynasty?" In other words, Shuotuo, the owner of the Red Banner Manchuria, didn't understand, but what Hong Chengchou said about the three strong armies really scared him.

"Not bad!" Hong Chengchou enjoyed the surprised gazes of the Liao thief leaders very much, and from their expressions, he seemed to find the feeling of holding a heavy army as a superintendent.

"In addition to the Nanyue Army under the command of Ning Yuanbo, now, there are two more troops in the Ming Kingdom that have emerged. One is Chongzhen's housekeeping unit, the Beijing camp. The other is the Ning Yuan army of Wu Sangui's subordinate who is close to us. (To be continued......)
