So, as the saying goes, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and they all exposed Prince Su's rebellious words and deeds and his private dealings with certain people, some of which were true, some of which were chasing after the wind, and some of which were originally trivial matters, were explained at the height of conspiracy and rebellion.

"Omoktu, Yang Shan, and Yi Chengge, these three people are attached to Prince Su for chaos, and if they don't turn themselves in, they will be beheaded immediately! Luo Shuo, because of his indiscriminate edict, forbade him to associate with Prince Su again. Later, he went in and out of Prince Su's mansion and discussed privately. Beheading! ”

After beheading these four people, the family property of Yang Shan and Luo Shuo was confiscated and rewarded to Turai; The property of Omoktu and Ichengge was confiscated and rewarded to Holohui.

Thinking of the scene that day, the two yellow flags and the positive blue flag were all worried in their hearts.

The two yellow flags are not enough, but now as the emperor's personal army, they are commanded by Dolgon, which can be regarded as the execution of the emperor. But the soldiers and horses of the Blue Banner were unlucky. After Hauge was posted, the blue flag was kicked out of the sequence of the three flags. Swap with the white flag of the lower five flags. The white flag, which was originally a positive yellow flag, has returned to the ranks of the upper three flags again after many years. (Regarding the change between the Zhengbai Banner and the Zhenghuang Banner, it was done at the beginning of Huang Taiji's accession to the throne.) Now Dorgon is simply raising his political status. I won't go into the rest. ）

The Qing Dynasty customarily referred to the princes and below as "princes and ministers", including Beile, Beizi, Gong, and civil and military officials above the third rank, which was the highest ruling group of the Qing Dynasty. There is also the county king level, which is equivalent to the original Baylor. Today, because we want to discuss the important state affairs of the army's southern expedition, all the core figures of the Qing regime are present.

The wide royal road in the middle of the Ten Kings Pavilion was full of cronies and guards with two yellow flags and the Baya soldiers of Prince Rui's Mansion selected by Dolgon on weekdays, from the gate of the Great Political Hall to the outside of the Ten Kings Pavilion. In addition, a lot of Kabush soldiers who were in charge of guarding the imperial court were also transferred today, and they were all standing on both sides of the royal road in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion. Outside the Ten Kings Pavilion, the two white flags of the clothed firearms are in charge of the guards, and the entire Ten Kings Pavilion and the Great Hall are heavily guarded, which makes today's court meeting even more tense.

"In the past few days, we have been receiving reports from Beijing and Shanhaiguan, and the situation in Beijing is already clear. The thief Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing. Chongzhen first forced the queen to hang herself, and then he hanged himself before he broke through. The Ming Dynasty is dead. ”

Dolgon got straight to the point and threw out the theme of today's meeting. The Ming Dynasty is dead, what should we do? However, the princes and ministers present did not think of that for a moment, and when they heard this exciting news, they immediately stood up in unison and shouted wildly to show their joy.

"Advance to the Central Plains! Take Beijing! Destroy the thieves! ”

"Advance to the Central Plains! Take Beijing! Destroy the thieves! ”

Under the leadership of Duoduo, the princes and ministers raised their arms and chanted in unison, and the roof tiles vibrated with sound. It seems that you can set foot on the Shanhaiguan immediately, and the soldiers are coming to the city of Beijing, and the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains will change hands in a blink of an eye.

As a member of the family, Dolgon was not so excited about the army's expedition, his face was cold, and his eyes were full of murder, "Finished? Today Shengjing sent troops, tomorrow to break the Xifeng Pass, the day after tomorrow soldiers to Beijing City, five days later to rob Beijing, eight days later back to Shengjing to everyone to celebrate the feast? ”

Dolgon's authority grew, and everyone was speechless when they heard that his tone was not good. The venue, which was still in full swing just now, immediately became deserted like an ancient temple deep in the mountains.

"The report from Beijing and Shanhaiwei also said that Li Zicheng had 200,000 elite soldiers and broke through Beijing in three days. How many days can you break through the city of Beijing? ”

At present, Wu Sangui has completely rejected Li Zicheng's surrender, annihilated all the soldiers and horses of Tang Tong's troops who came to surrender, and beat Tang Tong to flee back to Beijing alone. At present, Wu Sangui has controlled the entire Shanhaiwei, Yongping Mansion, Jizhou, Yutian, and Luanzhou. You plan to enter the customs, what are you going to do with this roadblock? ”

"If you go to the mouth of Xifeng, this tiger can bite me off a piece of fat in one bite, and take the corpse of the Eight Banners soldiers to ask his godmother and grandfather for merit and reward!"

The Qing soldiers entered the pass several times to plunder, all of which entered and exited from Xifengkou, and this road has become familiar. Although it has also entered the customs through the breach in the Datong area of Xuanfu, the current situation is obviously a thousand-mile march on the western front, and the loss of troops and the consumption of grain and grass are all major events. Moreover, the Datong area of Xuanfu is now the territory of Dashun, and it is impossible for the Qing soldiers to rashly touch the iron plate.

Therefore, the Xifengkou and Shanhaiguan on the eastern line have become the first choice. However, compared with Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou is even more selected. However, Wu Sangui, who was entrenched in Yongping Mansion, just aimed his cannon at the flank of the Qing Dynasty's soldiers and horses.

With Wu Sangui's temperament, he would definitely be happy to do such a thing as blocking the road and smashing black bricks.

Thinking about the wolf-like soldiers and horses under Wu Sangui, from Shuotuo, Yue Le and other banner lords and princes, to Aobai, who has always been known for his bravery, he couldn't help but sweat coldly. If it is about personal skills, savage and bravery, no soldier of the Eight Banners Manchuria will be afraid of the soldiers under Wu Sangui. However, these guys will never fight you alone, and a group of people will flock to you, break your formation, and then pick out the lone attack.

"I have the three banners of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han, plus more than 100,000 elite soldiers from various departments of Horqin Mongolia, and the auxiliary soldiers are not counted as Baoyi Ahha. The army broke through the Great Wall, and the regent wanted to ask, where is the grain and grass? Did you have all the armor and weapons? ”

"This invasion of the Central Plains is not a temporary measure, and it is bound to fight a series of fierce battles in order to exterminate the thieves, occupy Beijing, occupy the Central Plains, and establish a foundation for the Qing Dynasty in China. This king is dozens of years younger than Prince Li, and he is the regent, in charge of the military and government of the Qing Dynasty. The matter of leading the army to the south is naturally the duty of this king. Prince Li was highly respected, so he stayed in Shengjing, managed the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, suppressed rebellions, and managed Manchu, Mongolia and Korea, which was the most suitable. As for the detailed plan of sending troops, for the victory of our Qing Dynasty, we must first settle accounts! ”

When everyone heard Dolgon say this, they turned their eyes to the side, not paying attention to Prince Li, who was the minister of King Shengjing. Instead, he set his eyes on a person in the crowd next to the Zhenghuang Flag King Pavilion.

That person was the third-class Merler Zhangjing who was in charge of building guns, smelting pig iron, mining ores and other affairs in the entire Qing Dynasty, and Chen Banda, a slave under the Yellow Banner Manchuria.

"Now that the Lord Regent is asking about armor and weapons, let's see how you, a minion, can defend yourself!"

Chen Banda's recent life has been very difficult, and he even has some taste of public criticism.

As a minion under the Zhenghuang banner, the two white flags and the Zhenghong flag of the three Dolgon brothers naturally will not give him a good look. However, the officials of the Two Yellow Flags will not treat him as their own. He was even quite hostile to him. The reason is very simple, the emperor went to Liaoyang to inspect, and he died on your one-third of an acre. It is not known whether you and Dolgon and others conspired to assassinate the emperor. Even if you hadn't conspired with them, you wouldn't have been able to get away with the crime just because the emperor died in your place.

There were even officials with two yellow flags who threatened to kill Chen Banda if they had a suitable opportunity, thinking that they would avenge the emperor.

Today, on this occasion, Dolgon openly asked the kings Baylor about armor, weapons, food and grass, which in the eyes of the two yellow flags, it was clear that he wanted to follow the example of Zhou Yu to kill Zhuge Liang in accordance with what was said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!

In full view of everyone, Chen Banda thought to himself that he would definitely die today. Since he had to die anyway, he simply died like a good man. He held his head high, straightened his clothes, straightened out his robes, and then went out into the crowd.

"See Lord Regent! The slave Chen Banda received the grace of the emperor and was in charge of mining, smelting and casting. Now, if the prince is the pro-commander of the Eight Banners army, he enters the customs to suppress the thieves and attack Beijing. The minions are ashamed, and now in the treasury, as far as the minions know, there are more silver taels, and less than armor equipment. It is the gunpowder projectile used in the coating in the prince's mansion, and I am afraid that it will not be enough to fight a few big battles. ”

Chen Banda's words were high-pitched and loud, so that the people next to the Ten Kings Pavilion in front of the Great Hall could hear it clearly. Countless people secretly shouted in their hearts: "This slave who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, this time he is definitely going to see the first emperor!" ”

Duoduo even subconsciously went to his waist to pull out his saber, but unexpectedly felt empty. Only then did I remember that when I entered the door, I had already collected the waist knife and sword on my body, and even the meat-eating knife, flint, and fire sickle. Only then did he hammer his thigh hatefully, "Let your dog slave live a little longer!" ”

"Chen Banda, you are in charge of iron smelting and smelting soldiers. Now that a big war is imminent, of course this king wants to ask you for armor and weapons. But what do you say to this king, how do you begin to say that you have a lot of silver? ”

"That's it, the regent just told us that he plans to break through the border wall and enter the customs by going to Xifengkou and Miyun, you don't take out knives and guns, but what the hell are you talking about with all of us?!" Shuoto was a little angry.

He had long been thinking about breaking through the border wall and entering the pass one day earlier, taking advantage of the mobility of the Eight Banners to rob Li Zicheng of the heavy property he had looted from Beijing, and then returning to Liaodong to enjoy a good life for a few years. His thoughts are similar to those of Azig, Zilharang and others, even Yue Le, Dai Shan and others, and they have no intention of grabbing a handful to come back and enjoy it.

"Chen Banda, if you have anything to say, just say it. You might as well tell me the amount of armor and gunpowder in the Qing Dynasty first. "Dorgon has a very good temper today, and he is always good no matter what others do.

"Yes! Lord Regent, since the end of the Liaodong War in the Qing Dynasty, all the banner lords and princes have gone to pick ginseng and dig raw gold hunting furs, and urge their minions to pick red and blue flowers. None of the servants under the servants are under the control of the slaves. It was all ordered by the emperor to transfer the banner lords from among the flags. Mining, iron smelting, and casting are all occupations that consume a lot of money and food for the population. Naturally, it is better to pick red and blue flowers for an immediate transaction. ”

As a result, the banner lords and princes tried their best to transfer their minions back from Liaoyang and Fushun, preferring to pick red and blue flowers, dig ginseng and dig gold, rather than invest this valuable labor force in the military industry where no benefit can be seen.

"If it weren't for the fact that when the first emperor was alive, the minions of the two yellow flags and the Zhenglan flag were not allowed to be taken away, and at the same time, the minions were allowed to reclaim land in Liaoyang, Jinzhou, Haizhou, and Gaizhou, cultivate the famine by themselves, grow and eat by themselves, and the minions would not be able to raise these tens of thousands of coats."

General Chen Ban's large-scale production of red and blue flowers and the original two-headed activities had a huge impact on the Qing Dynasty's military industry, and he explained that every word was like a whip, slapping the faces of the kings and Baylors present.

At the beginning, he withdrew his coated slaves from the mines, iron smelting yards, and workshops that made weapons and cannons, and went to pick red and blue flowers, dig ginseng, and mine gold, and everyone present could be said to have a share. Now Chen Banda said that the reason why I can't take out those weapons and armor is all because of you, these Tartars who have not cultivated like Ming officials to the point that the credit is all mine, and the fault is all your Taoism, I can't help but blush a little. The entire Dazheng Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion became unusually silent.

(Alas!) I have to say, barbarians are barbarians! It's like I, who has received the essence of traditional culture, ****, obviously opposed to the two bombs and one star, but after experiencing the benefits of the two bombs and one star, I hyped up the great outstanding contributions I made in the two bombs and one star on various occasions and various media and literary works. What's more, after coming to power, he wantonly suppressed military spending, cut scientific research funds, and went to the United States to kneel and lick, saying that he was angry with the American people. After a few missiles of the Americans fell, they rightly blamed the army, why did they not have the ability to fight back? Alas! This group of barbarians, after all, still hasn't evolved in place! ）

Eventually, it was Dorgon who broke the awkwardness.

"Chen Banda, you only said that there are not many armor weapons and gunpowder stored in the warehouse now. It is difficult to support the consumption required by the army to enter the customs operation. Tell me to this king and to all the princes and ministers, how much do you have in stock now? ”

"Huh!" Chen Banda also smelled a different smell from Dolgon's tone, and knew that I probably wouldn't be able to die today. couldn't help but be in good spirits, and he made a thousand, got up and reported a series of figures: "More than 64,000 stones of self-made gunpowder, and more than 37,000 stones of imitation Nanban gunpowder." Cannonballs and projectiles are no more than 10,000 stones. ”

The self-made gunpowder can only be used for explosives, and the ****** of artillery and gunpowder are all imitation Nanzhong gunpowder and additives. However, no matter what kind of gunpowder it is, it requires a lot of money and food. Saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, turnips, egg whites and other substances are used in processing. How is it not a bottomless pit for the consumption of such a technological process?

"Alas! When the emperor was alive, he was deceived by Haoge and other traitors, and engaged in red and blue flowers and trade with the Nanban. Even the population was sent to the Nanban. Now it seems that the first emperor was wise and wise, but in his later years, he was confused for a while. It's a lot of harm for me! At that time, this king was a prince and the lord of a banner, but like you, he was afraid of the situation, said a lot of things against his will, and did a lot of things against his will. In other words, we are all guilty. ”

Easily, a few words from Dolgon pushed all the sequelae of the red and blue flower trade to the Qing Kingdom on the heads of the dead Huang Taiji and his son. By the way, on the surface, he said that he was responsible, but in fact, he washed the Eight Banners King Baylor cleanly.

"Sony!" Dolgon suddenly raised his voice and called the Qing household servant to come out and reply.

"The minions are here!" Sonny stepped out of the queue, saluted in a very regular manner, and then stood up, respectfully awaiting the regent's question.

"Did you hear what this slave said? He said that there is a lot of silver in the treasury now, and tell me to this king, how many taels of silver are there now? ”

"Back to the words of the regent prince, now, there are about six or seven million taels of variegated silver, more than four million taels of official silver, and more than one million yuan of Nanban silver."

"Why are there so few silver dollars?" Dorgon was a little angry, he knew the benefits of the silver dollars, but it was the silver dollars that were missing in the treasury now, but the mountains were stacked with them!

"Back to the words of the prince, now the merchants of Nanzhong have a word, they trade with my Qing Dynasty, and only accept silver dollars and tongbao. The rest of the money will not be collected. As a result, the shopkeepers of the Jin merchants also began to collect only silver dollars. Therefore, the silver ingots and official treasures were stranded in the treasury! ”

"Are you going to let this king stuff this silver into the barrel of the cannon and use it as a cannonball when he enters the customs with a large army?!" Dolgon stood up from his seat and stared at Sony viciously with an almost murderous gaze. That posture is like a black bear that has been disturbed from hibernation.

Dolgon's dealings with Li Peiting over the years can be regarded as learning a truth. That is, silver is always just silver. At best, it's a bridge, and it's far less meaningful than the supplies. Silver is only good if it is spent. Otherwise, no matter how much you pile up in your hands, it will be just a pile of stones!

"More than 100,000 stones of gunpowder, more than 10,000 stones of cannons, but you have saved more than 10 million taels of silver! You guys really have what it takes! ”

Dolgon, in a fit of rage, laughed instead. It's just that the hearts of Dai Shan and the others are in their throats.

"Qiqi Regent, if the prince plans to conquer the Liukou in the south. The slave also has a message. It can allow the prince to raise enough food, grass and ammunition as soon as possible! ”

"Speak!"

"This matter is divided into two paragraphs, and I ask the prince to decide." Sonny kowtowed to the ground again before he spoke.

"The day before yesterday, Fan Sanba, the son of Fan Yongdou's treasurer, went to the servant's mansion and told the slaves that if my Qing Dynasty could convert the silver into silver dollars and trade with them, they would accept it."

The silver was converted into silver dollars, but it was a loss in fineness, and as long as the silver could be used and exchanged for the materials urgently needed by the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would take advantage.

"This king is approved! How are they going to convert it? (To be continued.) )
