Dolgon entered the fortress, more than 50 cities were slaughtered, and millions of lives were destroyed. Chickens and dogs are lonely, there is rubble but no room, there are wattles but no fireworks.

Originally, the densely populated Beizhili and Ludong areas were sparsely populated here, and within a few years, the people were all in the Tartars, all in the epidemic, all in the barrenness, the life was depressed, and death was near. Moreover, it can be expected that the famine and plague caused by the plundering and destruction of the Qing army will certainly cause the death of far more people than they directly slaughtered.

Half of Qilu was seriously injured, and it was difficult to recover in a short period of time, perhaps this is one of the reasons why a large number of refugees and displaced people in Jiaodong returned to their hometowns earlier, because the original people died.

But at the same time, this is also like a lesson engraved into the bone marrow, so that Beizhili and the land of Qilu remember the ferocity and bloodshed of the Manchu Dynasty!

And now, when they heard that the Tartars had entered the pass again, what kind of sadness should they feel?

Zheng Zhilong also received news from Ningyuan in September, saying that there were Qing troops and horses forced to Ningyuan, and a large army was dispatched to attack Juehua. But the time entered the middle of October, and I heard news that the Qing army went out of the Yellow Cliff Pass, broke through the wall and entered the pass. After a battle with Bai Tengjiao, Bai Guangen and others in Jizhou, the soldiers went straight to Qilu!

The entire Qilu officialdom was in chaos, and the governor Wang Guobin even sent Hou Guoan to Dengzhou to ask him for help, which was already late October.

Because the entire Qilu knows that Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Qilu, is unreliable. What's more, at this moment, Liu Zeqing's main force of soldiers and horses is not in Qilu, but at the intersection of southeast Lu and northern Henan.

At this critical moment, if you summon him to help Qilu, he will pretend not to hear it.

For Wang Guobin and other Qilu official bigwigs, instead of pinning their hopes on Liu Zeqing and Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Xue Dizhong and others who followed behind the Qing army's buttocks, it was better to invite Zheng Zhilong.

And Zheng Zhilong is not without a little man in his hands, not to mention the bald laborers he brought back from Juehua Island, the latter has already selected a lot of people to practice day and night on Zhifu Island. At the same time, there are three teams of men and horses left by Zheng Sen on Zhifu Island, plus the two teams of iron man army he holds in his hand, as well as three hundred black soldiers and five hundred standing teams, clean up, these three or four thousand people can be regarded as a strong army - compared to other Ming military words.

After Zheng Zhilong returned to Zhifu Island, he seized the time to train his troops, which is not a secret in Qilu officialdom.

Although there are only three or four thousand people, the number is a little less - don't forget Zheng Zhilong's previous actions, the main force of the army has been justifiably "shelved" on Juehua Island, and the main force of the navy has also been sent back to Fujian Province. Now, even if he doesn't wade into troubled waters, no one else can say anything about him. The emperor's will has not yet reached Qilu. Zheng Zhilong is only the chief military officer of Fujian Province, but not the chief military officer of Qilu.

But Zheng Zhilong is the great reputation of the Tartar head, and it is still a shining plaque at this time.

Wang Guobin and the others didn't know that Zheng Zhilong had already planned the plan, and they just thought that it would be a big problem to let Zheng Zhilong come to support him Qilu. If so, he sent Hou Guoan.

I can't help but say that Hou Guoan is a very capable person, and there is no one who can do it from a small person to a third- or second-grade member in the Ming Dynasty. In front of Zheng Zhilong, a good show of "Shen Baoxu crying Qin Ting" was staged, no, not one, but several in a row. In just three or five days, Zheng Zhilong's heart was "moved" by crying.

Although this is Zheng Zhilong acting, he heard from Hou Guoan a lot of blood debts when he was sent south by the Qing army, which really made his killing intent skyrocket!

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Dolgon led the army into Qilu, and the wounds left on the land of Qilu were too painful.

“…… In the city of Ji Dezhou, seven or eight out of ten people were slaughtered, two out of ten people fell into the river and threw themselves into the well, two out of ten were captured, one out of ten escaped, and one out of 10 escaped from hiding. …… They escaped from the city gates and drowned the dead, women and babies were not counted. The whole city was searched and slaughtered, and the blood flowed down like a stream......"

"There is no way to identify the sea of skull mountains and blood...... Collect the remains of the remains, divide the men and women into two giant mounds, and bury them together in the north and south fields of Yucheng......"

"There are thirty-eight survivors in Linqingzhou City, and there are seven survivors of the three merchants, Xi Mingyuan, Tang Yin, and Wang Youquan, about ten points from Linmin, and some of them are less than a point. All its official offices and houses were burned down, and the embers were not extinguished. The two rivers are parallel to the streets, and the corpses are like mountains, how can they be counted. The battlements were torn down......"

Zheng Zhilong's heart couldn't be moved, but it was not because Hou Guoan was really clever and eloquent, but because he decided to be a lobbyist. It's because the Tartars killed too much and too ruthlessly, and the bloody reality made Zheng Zhilong have to be moved.

However, as a smart person, although Zheng Zhilong is moved, he will never easily put himself in danger. He just ordered soldiers and horses in his hands, and he went to scare the Qing army like this, Zheng Zhilong's brain could only be done unless it was in the water.

Therefore, he still has to do the last scene in front of Hou Guoan.

"The Tartars are ferocious, repeatedly offending the border, leading beasts to eat people, and having a lot of blood debts, this is the great enemy of life and death in my Central Plains. Although Zhilong is a Fujian person and an official of Fujian Province, the Fujian people are also my Ming people, and the Fujian officials are also my Ming officials. How dare you retreat when this is in danger? ”

"It's just that there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses available in a certain hand, and there are many new soldiers and horses, I'm afraid it's ...... I have a weak heart. Zheng Zhilong's face was firm and difficult, intertwined.

Before these words fell, Hou Guoan had already clapped his hands and praised Zheng Zhilong's loyalty, "General Rong has this determination, and he is the pillar of the country." Guoan brought tens of millions of people in Qilu to thank Da Grace. ”

He may really respect Zheng Zhilong, or he may make Zheng Zhilong have nothing to say. But does it matter? Unimportant! Just like the solemn and solemn look on Hou Guoan's face at this time, the promise that Zheng Zhilong has already gotten and the initiative that he has obtained are the most genuine.

"Zheng Shuai's lack of troops is indeed a big problem. However, although Qilu itself has few soldiers and horses, there are Ding Zhuang in Jiaodong. Zheng Shuai is also a famous general in the world, so it is better to quickly recruit some Ding Zhuang and train him, and he can also use it when the Tartars are killed. As for the money and food of the soldiers, whether it is Denglai or Jinan, it can be turnover. ”

The Qing army is still in Beizhili, there is still a short distance from Qilu, during which there are many fortified cities, and there are many road generals there, even if they are unbearable, they can also create some trouble for the Qing army. In other words, Zheng Zhilong will have some time to do it now.

"The Tartars are ferocious, and their combat power is already stronger than ours. Now that the army is in a hurry, it is not a group of rabble, how can it fight at that time? Zheng Zhilong sighed.

There was silence in the hall.

Hou Guoan was also helpless, saying that it was a great joy to move Zheng Zhilong. But this Zheng Dashuai has no soldiers in his hands, so even if he can fight again, what use can he use with the little soldiers and horses in his hands? The annoyance in his heart was followed by a long sigh, which made the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing.

Jiang Zhe, who was always serving in the hall, tried to adjust his breathing, and it was about to be his turn to appear.

A big drama directed by Zheng Zhilong, the protagonist is Zheng Zhilong, the second male is Hou Guoan, and he Jiang Zhe is the third male lead.

The situation progressed more smoothly than Zheng Zhilong had originally planned, because Hou Guoan noticed Jiang Zhe before he stood up. In the heavy atmosphere of the hall, Jiang Zhe's face was eager to try, without the slightest heaviness, which was very different.

Not to mention standing out from the crowd, but it is also a sight to see.

"Who are you? Seeing that your look is different, isn't it insightful? If you really have prejudices, you can speak freely. ”

Hou Guoan is a little "hungry and hungry, panicked".

Zheng Zhilong opened his mouth, today's scene was really smooth. "I don't know from Fantai, this person Jiang Zhe was originally a guest of the Shen family, and now Zhilong is a close and long-term follower, and he is known to be anxious."

"You can make any proposals, whether you have it or not, the sin is not yours."

The two adults were polite, and the students thought that it was time to burn their eyebrows and focus on the present, and they didn't need to worry about anything else. If you want to raise soldiers and horses, it is one method to recruit troops early for training, and another method to recruit and rebel. "Emergency.

"Don't you see the little Yuan camp patrolling the junction of Qilu, Central Plains, and Nanzhili?"
