On the twentieth of June, Duoduo rushed to Shengjing with only his personal guard Goshha, and the ground in Liaodong was very calm along the way, and from time to time he could meet the messengers and Tang soldiers who came and went, public or private, all of them were nervous and burning.

Dodor knew why. Whether it is Liaoyang or Shengjing, this is the foundation of the Manchu rule, not to mention outside the city, all the Zhuangzi outside the city were all troubled by the Zheng army.

I don't know how many Eight Banners dependents were captured, and they were clothed in Hannu.

There are also the people who deserve to be unlucky, such as Shengjing City, which was burned down, and Liaoyang, who was lost in both talents, and suffered great losses.

More importantly, there is the smallpox left by Zheng Zhilong......

Zheng Zhilong patted his ass and went back, but smallpox was left in Liaodong by him, and Duoduo trembled when he thought of those two words. Zheng Zhilong, how dare he? And by what means did he get it?

Isn't it really the reincarnation of the plague god?

Thinking of the news coming out of Shengjingli, the little emperor couldn't afford to be sick, and the Duoduo people were scared. The real loss is that he brought troops back to help, if he chooses Hauge to come back, things will really be a big deal.

Along the way, Duoduo prayed that the little emperor would not be smallpox, and that nothing would happen, otherwise it would be difficult for the Qing Dynasty, which was striding forward.

Fu Lindu is only six years old, if he can't do it, will he become a three-year-old Bomu Bogol?

Not everyone can sit on this throne. Don't look at Huang Taiji's many sons, but the only ones who are qualified to inherit the unification are the princes from the original match, the stepfamily and the five great blessings, so they are qualified.

And those sons of concubines, such as the old Siye Bushu, are now only a general of the Zhenguo, and they are the ninth level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's clan knighthood, not to mention a prince Baylor, not even an auxiliary prince who is not an eight-point prince.

The old lady of the sixth Gaosai was born in the Nala clan, and she is a big family, so she was named a town prince.

Lao Qichang Shu's wife is from the Ilgen Jueluo clan and has been crowned an auxiliary prince.

Lao Wu Shuosai's wife was given to the minister by Huang Taiji, and naturally she had no inheritance rights.

Lao Shi Taosai's wife is also a concubine, and she is the same age as Shunzhi, but when she grows up, she is at most a town prince and an auxiliary country.

And the eighth child is Hai Lanzhu's son, who died young; The second and third are also young, and the ninth is the current little emperor, except for him, there is only the eleventh Bomu Bogol, and his mother is also the Borzigit clan, the original five blessings, and the concubine of Yanqing Palace. He is entitled to sit on the throne.

And in addition to Bomu Bogol, there is also Hauge, who is from the step-chamber Ula Nara clan.

But how could Dorgon give the throne to Hauge?

Therefore, Duoduo prayed to the Buddha over and over again that Shunzhi would never have anything to do. Otherwise, the good situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would really be suspended. Now at this time, there is infighting, and if it is delayed for one day, it will be impossible to make up for it in a year in a few years.

It's a critical time now.

The Great South Gate and the Small South Gate of Shengjing are open, and a continuous stream of oxen and horse-drawn carts enter and exit the city gate, and the carts either pull flowers and trees, or pull bricks and logs. Entering the city through the Great South Gate, Duoduo suddenly felt as if he had arrived at a large construction site.

It's just that this construction site is deserted, don't look at the endless oxen and horse-drawn carts, but dilute to the entire southern city, this carriage does not seem to be tight and compact. And he only saw the carts and horses carrying carts of things, but he didn't see too many people busy.

Duoduo was a little puzzled when he saw it, but after thinking about it again, he suddenly realized that smallpox. This thing hasn't stopped yet, who would dare to recruit people to their own homes at this time?

The Manchus were really afraid of smallpox, and Gao Hongzhong, an important advisor in Huang Taiji's early days, mentioned the country, and he was very worried that the existence of pox would become a major obstacle to the military operations of the Later Jin. He said that the people of the Ming Dynasty "knew that our country (Houjin) was afraid of beans, and I was afraid that he would use this trick to find more pox children and put them on the road."

And Huang Taiji took the initiative to launch wars against the Ming Dynasty, usually from September to March of the following year, and from April to August, he often did not move (not absolutely). This is not only because of the heat, but also because of the need to avoid smallpox.

Smallpox virus is heat-loving and usually endemic in the summer and rarely contagious in the winter. If he had to go out in the summer, Huang Taiji would also send troops hard, but most of the generals sent at this time were people who had pox. These people have immunity in their bodies and will not be infected with smallpox again.

Duoduo himself was very afraid of smallpox, and was severely punished by Huang Taiji for avoiding smallpox.

At the beginning of the Songjin War, in May of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji mobilized troops and sent Dolgon to conquer Jinzhou, and his brother went out to fight. Huang Taiji said angrily after finding out, Lao Tzu is also "avoiding acne", but he still went to the scene to send him off, and you actually pretended to "avoid acne" and took a prostitute to have a party at home, is this still a brother?

But the more you are afraid, the more you come, and the historical Duoduo eventually died of smallpox.

This time he led the troops back to help the pass, he didn't know that Zheng Zhilong could play with Yu Tianpox in the palm of his hand at first, otherwise he would really have to give way.

But later, when I came, I came, so I had to bite the bullet.

When he came out of the palace, Duoduo immediately returned home, and asked someone to prepare for the water, and he really hated to rub all the skin of his body. It took five baths to feel clean.

"Luckily, luckily." changed into new clothes and lay on the bed, but the person did not fall asleep immediately, but the brain was more awake. Duoduo didn't feel sleepy at all, and stared at the gauze tent on top with wide eyes. There was nothing wrong with the emperor, he was just frightened. Isn't it just scary to be afraid of people who are still young, and suddenly leave Beijing and go north.

This is really a blessing for the Qing Dynasty.

Kuaima had already rushed to Yanjing, and Duoduo thought that his fourteenth brother must have received the letter, and what would he do? What could he do?

Zheng Zhilong swept Daqing's face fiercely, but Daqing was really helpless against Zheng Zhilong.

He had already withdrawn from the Southern Route Army, and Hauge became the chief general of the Southern Route Army. Then Liu Fangliang and Guo Sheng's soldiers and horses, in terms of field battles, are definitely not their opponents of the Qing Dynasty, but what about defending the city? Central Plains, Qilu, one city after another to fight down, but it is not easy. At this time, the Qing Dynasty really didn't have the strength to fight Nanming.

The current Manchu forces remained partly in their hometowns and partly in Gyeonggi, and then returned to two routes, one to the west and the other to the south. This side is not stable, there is no absolute advantage.

The historical Manchu Qing also left soldiers and horses in their hometown, but the historical Manchu Qing Dynasty was very stable outside the customs, and there were some skirmishes with Tsarist Russia north of Heilongjiang. How can Lao Maozi's manpower be compared with Zheng Jun.

Now that Duoduo has brought another 20,000 people back to the pass, the soldiers and horses of the Southern Route Army are becoming more and more nervous.

A large number of Baoyi who entered the customs, as well as some Han Nu and surrendered soldiers, are now all incorporated into the Green Flag Soldiers, and the number is not small. But to steadily defend Beizhili and the small half of Jinxi, and to peek at northern Henan and Qilu, it is really nervous.

Wrong, it's not that the troops are tight, why hasn't the Manchu army entered Qilu yet?

Therefore, the 20,000 soldiers and horses he brought back could not stay outside the pass for a long time, not only these people, but also those Mongolian soldiers brought by Wu Keshan, most of them would also be transferred to the pass.

Even a large number of coats outside the gate, and even some Ahanikan, listening to the meaning of his fourteenth brother, will most likely be organized into an army in the future.

Not to mention the Eight Banners, as long as the Green Flag soldiers are propped up, with these Coated Nikans as the backbone, it is much stronger than simply recruiting new soldiers.

However, the family has a big business and a lot of expenses. It's only been a few days since I entered the customs, and the silver in the treasury is about to run out, and only half of the year has passed.

Duoduo was dizzy when he thought of these troubles, and he really didn't know how his fourteenth brother managed to hold up this mess.

In fact, at this time, Dorgon also had a headache and was very upset, and the Green Banner soldiers were like blowing up balloons, and they were propped up in the blink of an eye. The Manchu Qing Dynasty had more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the control of the real Northern Zhili and the land of the western Jin Dynasty was stabilized at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, people have to eat, soldiers have to be paid, and if there are more than 50,000 people, there will be more than 50,000 mouths and 50,000 hands. Coupled with the Eight Banners and the abundance of Wu Sangui's army, Dolgon was stunned to find that he was running out of money.

Of course, he knew that Mubu Mutai must have money in his palm, which was Huang Taiji's internal money. As long as Bumu Butai can be convinced, it will not be a problem to survive this year. And he is also confident that Bumu Butai will take out the money.

It's a woman, but her brain is really unusual.

Bumu Butai used Dolgon to suppress Hauge, and used Hauge to balance Dolgon, and he was also respectful to the neutrals such as Zilharang and Daishan, and the intention was very clear.

Dolgon is not in a hurry, he doesn't have a son yet, and his internal influence has not reached its peak, so why grab that dragon chair? There are a lot of hidden dangers.

Everything has to be done step by step, which is the same as the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs to seize the Central Plains. Haste makes waste!

But what Dolgon cared about was what to do in the coming year.

With the growth of the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty, the number of green flag soldiers will increase, and if there are 120,000 green flag soldiers in the coming year, and there are so many children of the Eight Banners waiting to be fed, and countless officials, the money and food needed will be great.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty's rule at all levels in the areas under its control must be fully established and its duties must be carried out within this year's New Year's Pass.

For example, the collection of the summer tax, the collection of the autumn tax, and the poll tax and the salt tax......

The situation made it impossible for the Qing Dynasty to occupy a house in the staking around Gyeonggi, and the fault was not that the Eight Banners made rapid progress after entering the customs, and many soldiers and horses of each banner were captured, so I am afraid that there was still a large amount of money waiting for him to reward the Eight Banners.

"Regent, Fan Yongdou asks to see."

Dolgon's eyes were certain, "Fan Yongdou is here, come in quickly." ”

After a while, I saw Fan Yongdou, who was dressed in a Manchu official robe, walking in steadily, and said a thousand words, "Minister Fan Yongdou knocked on the regent." ”

"Hurry up and talk back." Dolgon's tone should not be too gentle, if a close minister like Qi Chongge heard it, he was afraid that he would smack his tongue. But Fan Yongdou donated 300,000 taels of silver to the Qing Dynasty, and the eight families donated a total of 1 million taels of silver under his initiative, which not only covered the purchase of artillery silver, but also made up for the consumption of silver in the Great Qing Dynasty.

"How about the resumption of work at the Changlu Salt Farm?" Dorgon asked nervously. This salt tax and salt introduction are a very important bag of money in the future of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"The regent can rest assured that all salt farms in Beizhili have now been restored, and it is expected that the monthly salt production will be no less than 50,000 quintals in the future."

Dolgon didn't have a specific understanding of this thing, "Fifty thousand quintals of salt per month, how much silver can the imperial court get?" ”

"50,000 quintals a month, at least 600,000 quintals a year, is 60 million catties. Heda citation (salt citation) 200,000. In the future, the number of salt workers gradually increased, and it was common for it to increase to one million quintals. In the four years of Zhu Ming Hongwu, there was an old practice, according to the distance, one to five stones of grain could be exchanged for a small lead (200 catties) of salt from the government. But in the Wanli period, Changlu here is only the salt around the north Zhili, and a little can be called thirty or fifty taels of silver. ”

"Since the regent is short of military funds, why not print and replace Zhu Ming's old banknotes with a new quotation...... that is, only twenty taels of silver will be asked for one citation, and millions of military funds will come in a blink ......of an eye."
