Although the negotiation of the terms of peace has been completed with the Nanyue Army Mission, and has been recognized and sealed by the dead Huang Taiji, after all, Huang Taiji has signed Li Shouhan and has not signed it. Therefore, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor Fulin is still correct.

Although the scale and scene are not as high-end as Chongzhen's ascension to the throne, and there is still some rustic atmosphere in his bones. However, in order to dilute the murderous and hostile atmosphere in Shengjing City with a festive atmosphere, Fulin's enthronement ceremony was still very successful.

As the person in charge of a series of industrial activities in the Qing Dynasty, from mining ore to smelting steel to casting guns, Chen Banda also mixed in with the Zhenghuang Banner team and bowed to the emperor, the two empress dowagers and the regent.

After the ceremony, Chen Banda even took his deputy, Lao Li, a servant of Prince Rui under Zhengbai, to the regent palace to hand over the sign and ask to see him.

At this time, the Rui Wangfu was already the highest power center of the Great Qing Kingdom. The most elite troops of the Eight Banners were drawn to defend the Rui Palace. On duty in front of the gate today, it was a Niu Lu Baya soldier in Manchuria with a yellow flag and a Niu Lu Baya soldier in Manchuria with a white flag.

Under Dolgon's careful cultivation, the two white flags and the two yellow flags that had just taken over were no longer so strong, and the two Niu Lu's Baya soldiers were mixed together under Dolgon's military orders, standing alternately, looking a little frightened in the eyes of those who cared.

However, Chen Banda didn't care about looking at this, so he just paced back and forth in the gatehouse anxiously.

After a while, Bao Chengxian and Ning Wan, the two scholars of the Third Inner Academy who were on duty in the Regent's Palace, walked in lazily and walked in: "Chen Banda, let's go, the Prince Regent has summoned you." ”

"Slave Chen Banda, please greet the regent!"

"The slave has seen the master!"

Chen Banda and Lao Li each saluted the young regent in front of them according to their own identities. Stand aside in a proper manner.

"Chen Banda, why don't you hurry back to Liaoyang to clean up your workshop and mine blast furnace, but you came to see the regent?" Ning Wan, like Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian, were all Hanchen who was promoted and used by Huang Taiji when he was alive, but. He and Bao Chengxian did not have Fan Wencheng's luck and vision, and they fell to Dolgon at the first time, and they made great contributions. After Dolgon seized power, he also reciprocated by making Pham Van Cheng and Hong Chengchou auxiliary ministers and holding the power of cardinals. However, Ning Wan and Bao Chengxian did not have such good official luck, although they also looked at the wind and the rudder, and knew that Haoge was definitely not a monarch who could look down on them as Han people. And he secretly pledged his allegiance to Dorgon. It's a pity that it's a step too late.

At present, these two can only be in charge of copywriting affairs in the regent's palace, taking care of money, food and materials. Compared with Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou's entry into the house, it can be described as a millimeter. The more this is the case, the more eager the two of them are to show themselves in front of the regent, whether it is loyalty and work ability, they are no worse than Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou!

"Lord Wang, you have paid for the minion's errand! The slave is willing to go to the mausoleum of the first emperor! "I didn't speak. Chen Banda's two lines of tears, which were already aggrieved, flowed down!

"Bold! The new emperor ascended the throne and was waiting to get rid of the old and cloth the new. Don't be surprised, but you, a minion, claimed that you would go to the tomb of the first emperor, are you dissatisfied with the regent to vent your anger?! "Without waiting for Dolgon to speak, Ning Wan and I reprimanded Chen Banda like a cannon.

"Master Ning, come slowly." Dorgon waved his hand to stop Ning Wan's show of loyalty. He knows a lot more about Chen Banda than Ning Wan. In the current words. It is a purely technical talent. Every day, I only know how to make it more convenient to smelt pig iron, how to reduce costs, and how to make pipes and cast thousands of cannons like Nanban. They are interchangeable with each other. However, how can he ask to resign from his position in front of him on such a day to keep Huang Taiji's mausoleum?

"Chen Banda, don't cry. This king has also watched you, a minion, come to this day step by step. For the weapons in the hands of the Qing Dynasty soldiers, the armor on your body is also exhausted, painstaking, these credits, not only the first emperor, the two queen mothers, the current emperor looks at the eyes and remembers in his heart, that is, this king, but also the heart. At least one percent of the great martial arts of the Qing Dynasty is your credit! Why have you come to this king today to ask for your resignation? Could it be that someone can't do it for you?! If anyone dares to make things difficult for you, you can just present it to the king! The king is in charge of everything! ”

With a long sigh, Chen Banda began to vomit bitterness.

"Lord Wang, thanks to you and the first emperor for trusting the minions, they handed over the matter of mining, smelting pig iron, building weapons, and casting guns to the minions, but now the minions really can't do it anymore! Now, the factories and mines in Liaoyang, Anshan and other places are about to be unable to operate! The mine is better, and the workshops everywhere are incompetent, idler, and fireworks! ”

"No incompetents, no idlers, no fireworks?" Dorgon lowered the rod of the pouch and struck it on the copper plate a few times, knocking out the ash inside. "How so?"

"Lord Wang, you don't know that prices soared a few days ago, and everyone in the workshop who has some skills is fluctuating. It was precisely the two groups of Nanban missions passing through the slaves' workshops, and the envoys headed by them tried their best to attract and lure the craftsmen and technicians under the slaves, who did not want to repay the emperor's favor, but coveted money, grain, silver and rice, and took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

The technical backbone of the workshop was abducted by Liang Kuan and others a lot, and most of the remaining labor force was Huang Taiji recruited from the flags, some time ago, Dolgon bought red and blue flowers for printing and dyeing cloth, and the banner owners saw that there was a lot of money in harvesting red and blue flowers, so they used various means to get their coated slaves away from Chen Banda to harvest red and blue flowers to make cash, and the labor force and technical backbone were gone, and the entire workshop area naturally became a dead silence. In the past, the factories in Liaoyang, where people were cheering and shouting, and the fireworks were boiling, became silent. The dark sky, polluted by coal, has regained its blue color, and it looks incredibly fresh.

"Lord Wang, the minion is an empty general at the moment, and there is no one under him to use. But look. Chen Banda vomited bitter water. While taking out a list from inside his clothes, he listed the names and quantities of several items. Most of them are knives, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, arrows, armor, guns, guns, medicines and other materials from various workshops under his jurisdiction.

"On the one hand, there is no one to use in the hands of the minions, and on the other hand, there is an envoy sent by you! A slave is covered in iron, and how many nails can he hit? Horizontal and vertical can't be completed, but the slave is greedy for life and afraid of death, lord. You can open your grace, let the slave live, and let the slave go to serve the tomb of the first emperor! ”

Dolgon pondered for a moment: "Chen Banda, you are loyal to the king and understand, but you also have to understand one thing, now everything must be focused on the overall situation of peace. Starting from Emperor Ama Taizu Gao of this king, I began to cut down the Ming Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, but now the war has been fought for decades, and the Eight Banners are getting more and more difficult to endure. Finally, the terms of the agreement were signed. The Qing Dynasty can take a break to recuperate for a while, how can it give up because of a trivial matter. If you give up, will you go and get food and supplies for the king? ”

"Lord Wang, if there is no food, we will grow it ourselves, and if there is no steel, we will refine it ourselves, and it is better to ask for others than for ourselves. Although he is negotiating peace with Nanban at the moment, the prince's grand plan is also known in his heart! When the war with the Ming Kingdom resumes, can Nanban still sell us grain, cloth, and pig iron?! If we don't have anything in our own hands. When the time comes, it's going to be slaughtered! Chen Banda also became more excited the more he spoke, and the louder he became. Later, he was almost red-faced and ready to quarrel with Dorgon.

Ning Wan on the side and I met Bao Cheng first, but I was happy in my heart, this stupid goose who only knew how to make iron and cast cannons, this obviously sent me a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions!

"Lord Chen, what you said is not right. Isn't red and blue flowers fundamental, and dyeing cloth can't make a living? "Ning Wan, I pulled a long voice to argue with Chen Banda.

"This official has also heard from the bannermen of each banner that the steel smelted in Liaoyang is not good compared to that produced in the Southern Barbarians. Moreover, since the official was promoted by the regent to manage the money and grain, he has found that the money and grain you spend on smelting iron and casting cannons have also increased a little more! I'll give you an account. With the same 5,000 labor, you can smelt 10,000 catties of iron, but if you let them collect red and blue flowers to dye cloth, and then I use the profits to procure it, I can get at least 12,000 catties of iron, and I don't have to spend a lot of money to sell meat to buy grain and coal! Compared with Ning Wan and me, Bao Chengxian's accusation is much more reasonable, at least using data to speak.

"Therefore, my lord, in the humble opinion of a slave, I don't say anything else, just look at the books, it is better to buy than to build, and it is better to borrow than to buy. Of course, this official also knows that the matter of steel was created by the first emperor, and it is a fundamental matter, so naturally it cannot be sloppy. However, this is a long-term thing. In my own opinion, it's good to think like this, Chen Banda, you should endure it for a few years and make way for the red and blue flowers. ”

Poor Chen Banda, a technical official, how can he be the opponent of these two long-seasoned old fritters? After saying a few words, Chen Banda choked up and had nothing to say. By the time he left the Regent's Mansion, Chen Banda was already so angry that his face turned pale.

"My lord! Don't be so upset, my lord. Didn't the Lord Regent also make an opening for us? We can use the cost of casting guns, guns, guns, and armor to make some hoes, sickles, and the like for sale. Let's use these to make up for the shortfall in the casting of artillery and other things! Lao Li, who entered the house with Chen Banda, kept comforting him.

"Alas! It itself was used to cast cannons, but it turned out to be used to make sickles, which in turn went to harvest red and blue flowers, alas! ”

"Don't be too upset, sir. Didn't the prince say that within three or five years, there will be no big war between us and the Ming Kingdom. As long as we endure for a while and survive the pains of this time, there will be good days ahead! ”

At this time, the three mansions of Denglai are a different scene.

With trepidation, Liaodong's first labor export army set foot on a sea ship sent by Shandong to a place they were once very familiar with. Shandong, it is not the first time they have come, many people have followed their masters, and they have trampled on this land again and again. It's just that they never dreamed that they would one day come to Shandong as laborers. Thinking of the people they had killed before, and the cities and villages they had looted, they couldn't help but be frightened, in case they met the bitter masters of the past, whether they would be cut by a thousand knives or pierced by thousands of arrows, but they had the final say.

As a result, the first meal after getting off the boat made them firm in their thoughts, the Southern Barbarians wanted to kill them to avenge the dead souls! I saw that the dark iron pot was full of kelp soup and cabbage and salted fish stewed with tofu, and in the big bucket was sticky rice porridge. And when the guy was cooking, he didn't hesitate to come up with a big spoonful. Watching them gobble up their food, not only was he angry, but he didn't let out bursts of sneers. These people who have stories in their hearts suddenly feel that the food in front of them is tasteless, and even the food is bitter. Some people even sneaked to a place where no one was, hugged their heads and cried, worrying about how they would die tomorrow.

The next day. Things seemed to be even worse, the Southern Barbarians began to divide people into men, women, and children, and the old and young seemed to be left unattended, but on Ding Zhuang's side, there were soldiers with firearms watching. At this moment, even Tuha, who pretended to be calm at first, felt that something was wrong, and when these southern barbarians began to drive them on the road, Tuha finally couldn't help it. He sat down on the ground and said nothing. And I have to see Ekui. The soldier didn't know what his purpose was, so he found Ekui, and saw that Tuha was sitting on the ground and couldn't get up, Ekui kicked him without saying a word: "Roll up for Lao Tzu, if you want to jump into the sea to death, don't dirty the ground of Prince Li." ”

Facing the fierce and vicious Ekui, Tuha was not angry, but knelt in front of Ekui. He cried and said, "My lord, I am about to die." I didn't want anything else, I just wanted to take another sip of soju and take a bite of the beef I ate that day. I don't know anyone else, but I know you, so I beg you, my lord, do me a favor. ”

The words of Ekui are inexplicable. After asking in detail, Ekui pouted and said: "You coward, you have never seen anything in the world, so you can't eat like this, you will be a decapitator." Then those hussars recruited by our Lao Tzu, wouldn't they have to cut three times a day with a thousand knives? Tell you, the eldest son's meal, it is graded! The old and young do light work, eat meat once every three days, usually there is oil and salt in the dishes, and the staple food is millet, sorghum or other miscellaneous grains. Ding Zhuang, who digs the river and repairs the canal, eats meat once a day, usually at noon, and eats rice. Those who do particularly heavy work are guaranteed to have twice a day meat, and the rice and white flour are enough. If you can get to me as a dry hussar, as long as you have a big belly and enough meat. When you don't fight or train, you drink wine! ”

Tuha didn't pay much attention to anything else, but as soon as he heard that the hussars had enough meat, they still had two taels of soju to drink every day. Tuha didn't believe it, he shook his head and said, "Brother, although we don't see each other much, don't lie to me." I'm also the two yellow flags that our emperor personally led! Don't say it's a vest, it's the emperor's Kabush virtuous soldiers, and it can't be said that there is meat at once, and eating it once a day is considered a good day. If you want to say that your soldiers eat meat once every three days, I still believe it, and I don't believe it if you eat it every day and kill it. ”

Ekui saw that Tuha didn't believe it, and he was also a little anxious, he was the person who hated him the most, and others didn't believe him.

So Ekui said: "Don't be crazy about you, kid, let me tell you, dare to bet with me?" "Tuha would be afraid of him calling the number, so he said which one would not dare!? Ekui said: "Since you have the courage, then this is it, after a while they will go to the farm to harvest cotton and dig a canal, you and I will go to the barracks, as long as you can run two miles on horseback, and open a bow with ten shots and eight hits, I will let you be my soldier." Then you follow me to see if you can drink enough meat every day. However, if you don't pass the assessment or find out that there is indeed meat in two days, you don't want to be a slave to your Huang Taiji, but to be a slave to our Lao Tzu and me. Do you dare or don't dare?! ”

Isn't this looking down on Tuha? People are also the Paishku of Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria! Tuha almost didn't get angry after hearing this, and said in his heart, "Are you humiliating me?" You can't run two miles on horseback, you can't do it in eight out of ten shots, what kind of cavalry can you be?

So Tuha said: "Your exam is too simple, Lao Tzu has to stand on the back of a bare horse and run two miles, ten shots and ten hits." Ekui looked at Tuha and said with a look of disbelief: "Really? Tuha replied loudly: "Then there is a fake?" But if I do, do you dare to lose something? Ekui smiled and said: "Let's say, do you want Lao Tzu to bow his head and admit his mistakes, it doesn't matter, as long as you can do it, it's a trivial matter." ”

Tuha shook his head and said: "You admit that there is an egg, if Lao Tzu does it, I will lose ten catties of beef jerky and ten catties of liquor." ”

"Whew! Beef jerky counts as a ball! When the time comes, I will slaughter a pig, please you! However, you will also do one thing for Lao Tzu on your dog's day! "Ekui has been with the eldest prince for a while, and he has inevitably learned some small tricks." You will pick out at least twenty people like you from among these people who have come with you! ”

Since everything has been said about this, there is no other choice, and soon, Ekui ordered someone to bring the war horse. Looking at the war horse that he brought in, Tuha suddenly felt that something was wrong. I saw other people's war horses, with neat fur and fat and strong, and the groom was also very professional at first glance. People's livestock can be mixed so well, it seems that it is not impossible for people to eat meat every day.

However, there was no turning back when the bow was opened, so Tuha jumped on the war horse, took the hard bow handed by Ekui, and gently tapped the horse's ass with the tip of the hard bow, and the bareback war horse trotted all the way in the martial arts arena.

Next, Li Huayu's cavalry eyes almost popped out, only to see that Tuha was just honestly holding the horse's belly with his two legs at first, trying to maintain his balance on the horse. After running a lap, it was about to complete the process of familiarization and run-in with the war horse under the crotch, and then simply played acrobatics, what stirrups hidden, iron plate bridge, golden rooster independence, look at this meaning, if you give a girl, play a horse shock or something, it's not a problem at all.

After the performance, Tuha bent his bow and arrows, not only did he achieve ten shots and ten hits, but almost all of them hit the bull's-eye. The cavalry present could not help but applaud Tuha's good methods, and the whistles and cheers continued. Natuha was also a kennel with no dry food, and when he saw that some people were applauding and applauding, and when he rode past the crowd even if he had committed a man's madness, a carp jumped down from his horse, pulled the saber from the waist of one of the horsemen, latched it in his mouth, and quickly caught up with the horse, and jumped forward and jumped on the horse.

Before anyone else could react to this electric scene, Tuha was already waving his saber on horseback, slashing left and right, simulating Songzuo who rushed into the enemy formation and slashed in the crowd. While waving a saber on horseback and chopping, he sang a small song loudly. These horse skills suddenly made these cavalrymen, who could barely be regarded as able to ride horses, almost so shocked that their jaws were about to drop.

However, Ekui also had some itchy skills, and immediately grabbed a horse, and then practiced with Tuha and the two on the playground, you make an iron plate bridge on horseback, and I will come to an eight-step to catch the cicada. You hide in the stirrups on your horse, and I put dragonflies on horseback.

Soon after, Pashkutuha, who had been in the Yellow Banner of Manchuria in his capacity as a sentry officer of the Hussar Battalion, led thirty cavalry masters he had selected from among the laborers to the dock to greet the thousands of traitors and families of the Manchuria under the Blue Banner brought back by Lord Liang Kuanliang.

The power of example is endless, seeing that the officers of the Zhenghuang Banner have all become cavalry officers under Li Dagongzi, how can these Zhenglan Banner Manchuria, who originally had a deep blood feud with Dolgon, have a strong will? Under Tuha's appearance, even hundreds of bitter and vengeful former Zhenglan Banner traitors joined the hussar battalion under Liang Kuan's smug gaze.

Soon, when the autumn wind rose, Li Huayu's cavalry expanded to thousands of people, among them, there were veterans of the Southern Yue Army, proficient in the tactics of entering the wall like a wall, as well as the former Sauron cavalry such as Ekui, and many cavalry masters like Tuha in the former Eight Banners of Manchuria. More were recruited from the displaced people in Huaibei, Xuzhou, Mengcheng, Bozhou and other places, and these areas have been famous for their soldiers who are good at riding and archery since Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was the famous hometown of the twister, and the prince of Horqin, who commanded the horse team of the three eastern provinces and the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, died at their hands.

A few years later, a very undisciplined scene was often staged north of the Yellow River.

The Qing army, which rushed from the north roaring like a surging wave, under the leadership of Cao Zhenyan, Cao Jueluo, Cao Gushan, Ezhen and others, shouted: "Kill Nikan!" Kill the Han Dog! "Rushing south.

From the south to the north, the cavalry of the Southern Guangdong Army, composed of the cavalry of the Sauron tribes such as Okyu and Tuha, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, shouted loudly in Jurchen and unfamiliar Chinese: "Kill the Tartars!" Kill the barbarians! ”

The two teams collided and splashed with blood. (To be continued.) )
