Chapter 402: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Sorrow
"Your Majesty..."
Tongtang's eyes turned slightly, as if he could flow out a pool of spring water.
"The concubine thinks Heyuan is better."
Zhu Cihong was overjoyed when he heard this.
"It's worthy of being my queen, and it's exactly the same as what I think, and I also prefer the name Wayuan."
He immediately clapped his hand and said: "In this case, the name of the emperor will be taken as Heyuan." Zhu Heyuan, Zhu Heyuan, haha..."
Like all first-time fathers, Zhu Cihong is now in a sweet state of happiness.
"What about you, you should take good care of your body these days, don't be too tired, you know?"
Zhu Cihong was full of warmth for Tongtang, tucking the scattered hair on his sideburns and said softly.
"Well, the concubines all listen to Your Majesty."
Tongtang really deserves to be a virtuous queen, and she will identify what Zhu Cihong says.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be here all the time with your concubines, go and deal with government affairs."
"No, I'm going to be here with you and spoil you today."
Zhu Cihong took Tongtang into his arms and said word by word.
......
......
Shaanxi, Xi'an.
Knowing that Sichuan was defeated, Azig was furious.
Tens of thousands of troops, only a few remnants of the army fled back, it was really miserable.
Bo Luo and Hong Chengchou didn't come back, when did the Qing army become so vulnerable?
According to the remnants of the soldiers who fled, the main force of the Qing army was defeated by the Ming army, and then strangled by the rest of the Western army, which can be described as miserable.
So the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is actually higher than that of the Qing army?
As far as Azig knows, the Ming army in eastern Sichuan today is basically the remnants of the reorganized Yuan Shun army.
The Qing army has fought countless battles with the Shun army, and knows that its strength is strong, but the Qing army is obviously superior.
Otherwise, how could Azig and Duoduo take Shaanxi, chase Li Zicheng all the way, and force him to die in Jiugong Mountain?
And now it seems that the ruined army has the meaning of being reborn.
This has to be said to be very strange.
Moreover, according to the reports of the soldiers who fled back, Li Dingguo, the commander of the Western Army, killed most of the Qing army generals, but let Hong Chengchou go.
But Hong Chengchou did not return to Shaanxi, could it be said that he chose to defect again?
Azig thinks it's not impossible.
First, Hong Chengchou's character is not high, and he has a black history in this regard.
Second, if he didn't choose to defect, why didn't Li Dingguo kill him? Could it be that there is an indescribable relationship between him and Li Dingguo?
This is certainly not possible. Therefore, Azig thinks that Hong Chengchou is more likely to be adopted by Li Dingguo.
As for his surrender to the Ming army, Azig thought it was almost impossible.
With the things that Hong Chengchou has done, it would be good if he didn't get cut by a thousand knives now.
Hateful, hateful.
But if you think about it, it's not impossible to make up for it.
So far, at least, there has been no news of Hong Chengchou's surrender to Li Dingguo.
This shows that Li Dingguo does not want to deal with this matter in a high-profile and public manner.
Then Azig can put the matter down for the time being, and even announce that Hong Chengchou has returned to Shaanxi.
At the same time, he would give a note to the Jingshi, informing Dolgon of a series of events that had taken place in Sichuan.
In the event of such a fiasco, it is impossible to suppress it.
The only way is to plan and put the blame on Hong Chengchou.
It is believed that after the disciples of the Eight Banners of the Jingshi learned of the fiasco, they would spread their anger on Hong Chengchou.
Why did everyone die, but Hong Chengchou did not die.
It would have been better if their attention had been diverted and they unanimously demanded that Hong Chengchou be executed.
Anyway, Azig has no one at hand, so he just pulls a prisoner to death row and executes him, and then reports to Dolgon that Hong Chengchou has been executed on the spot, presumably Dolgon will not blame Azig for this little thing.
Unlike Dolgon, Azig did not like to use Han Chinese such as Hong Chengchou.
Including Fan Wencheng, who was very valued in the Imperial Taiji Dynasty before, Azig despised them in his heart.
In the final analysis, the Han people are also Han people, not noble Manchurian warriors.
Doesn't the Han people themselves have a saying, if they are not of my race, their hearts will be different.
The Han people can only be used but not reused, and if they are entrusted with important tasks, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do anything surprising.
For example, Hong Chengchou.
Thinking of this, Azig still felt a little hateful and his teeth itched.
He summoned his staff, and even wrote a note to Dorgon.
At present, Shaanxi's military strength is generally sufficient, but it is somewhat stretched to the outside world if it wants to use troops on a large scale.
After all, Shaanxi is also going to send troops to guard it, and it is impossible to learn Zhuge Liang's empty city plan.
Hong Chengchou really ruined the Qing Dynasty's entire plan for Sichuan and Huguang.
After writing the recital, Azig decided to go to Xi'an to run a horse outside the city to dissipate his mood.
Immediately recruited a group of personal soldiers to fight their horses and left.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, come and take a look, all those who grow this kind of grain called potatoes can be exempted from paying taxes for three years, and pay taxes for three years."
In Taoyuan Village, Chengdu, a county official is working hard to explain the notice posted at the head of the village.
"Potatoes are drought tolerant and cold-tolerant, and they don't require too much land, even in fragmented mountain fields. The most important thing is that it has a high yield per mu, planting two or three acres, and the whole family will not worry about eating and drinking for a year. ”
The county officials spat and flew the stars, and they talked with relish.
And all the villagers of Taoyuan Village looked at him blankly, like looking at fools.
After a long time, an old man finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to ask: "Poor master, if it is really like what you said, why didn't the previous people grow potatoes?" ”
The county magistrate took a deep breath and explained, "This fellow asked a good question. Potatoes have only recently been popularized. It was the first to be discovered by the Son of Heaven and strongly advocated the trial planting in Shandong, and it was promoted throughout the country after great success. Isn't this Chengdu just recovered, and the governor adheres to the holy will to promote the planting of potatoes around Chengdu? Folks, you can't trust the Governor, can't you still trust His Majesty the Emperor? ”
The so-called pulling tiger skin to make a big banner, this county official is well aware of this principle.
He moved out of the day, which suddenly made his words a lot more persuasive.
The villagers all whispered to each other.
Emperor Lao Tzu is not an ordinary person. God is the biggest, he's the second.
He has the final say in everything in the world.
It is said that the hoes used by Emperor Lao Tzu to hoe the ground are all made of gold.
Tsk, that's really enviable.
What he said shouldn't be false.
Besides, it doesn't make sense for him to lie to everyone.
That's three years of taxes, and if you can really be exempted from paying it, you can save a lot of money.
Gradually, some people began to be tempted, first three or two people stood up to respond, then seven or eight, more than a dozen, and finally more than half of the villagers in the entire Taoyuan Village expressed their willingness to try to grow potatoes.
"The potatoes are so good, where do you get them?"
"Don't worry, the county government will assign it to everyone, and no one is indispensable!"
The county magistrate was overjoyed in his heart, and said with his eyebrows fluttering.
