Ma Cheng was reprimanded by Ma Luan just now when he said that he would change the emperor, and now he says that he wants to establish himself as the emperor, don't talk about Ma Luan, this kind of disrespectful remarks, even Ma Shiying was scared to death. Ma Shiying stood up and scolded: "Ma Cheng, are you crazy? You're sending our family to a dead end, you know? ”

Seeing Ma Shiying, Ma Luan, and Yang Wencong looking frightened, Ma Cheng was very disapproving: "Dad, as the saying goes, the emperor will take turns to come to my house next year, and the old Zhu family has been the emperor for more than 270 years, and it should be replaced!" Now that my son has the army in his hands, you have the right to do it, why don't you be Sima Yi for your father, Sima Shi for the eldest brother, and Sima Zhao for my son, this emperor is also enjoyable for our family! ”

Ma Shiying stepped forward to cover Ma Cheng's mouth, and then scolded: "You rebel shut up, don't complain about Lao Tzu's righteous killing of relatives if you say such rebellious words in the future!" ”

After Ma Shiying finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Yang Wencong, and then said with a smile: "Long You, this is all a child's words, don't take it to heart!" ”

Yang Wencong knew that Ma Shiying was not at ease with himself, Yang Wencong wanted to sue Ma Cheng for the first time, but he was too deeply involved with the Ma family, his wife was Ma Shiying's cousin, and his sister was the mother of Ma Cheng's wife. Even if Yang Wencong is the first to make a meritorious decision, his whole family will not die, but what about his sister's family? What about my wife's family? At the same time, because of this defeat, Yang Wencong still needs Ma Shiying's help to make a comeback, and Yang Wencong broke off the idea of coming out when he thought of this.

So Yang Wencong hurriedly confessed after hearing Ma Shiying say this: "Big brother, do you still need to talk about the relationship between you and me?" If I go to the first place, can the emperor spare my whole family? ”

Ma Shiying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yang Wencong say this, and then scolded Ma Cheng: "Ma Cheng, remember, now we have to go all out to deal with the northern captives outside the city, as for the big rebellious words you said, don't mention it again in the future!" ”

In fact, what Ma Cheng said just now still made Ma Shiying's little heart move a little, after all, the conditions are too good now, all the troops in the city are in the hands of his two sons, and most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are Ma Shiying's party, so it is only Ma Shiying's thought to clean up Zhu Lunkui.

But Ma Shiying is different from the stunned young Ma Cheng, Ma Shiying is a qualified politician, and he must think about various consequences before doing things. It's easy to be emperor, but what about the consequences? The Zhu family has been founded for more than 270 years, and this name of orthodoxy has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At the same time, Ma Shiying's own power is too weak, and now the entire south is still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, if he rashly claims to be the emperor now, it will become the target of public criticism.

Thinking of this, Ma Shiying decided to take a look and say, if there is really one day in the future, his power can reach the level of Cao Cao and Sima Yi, and it is not impossible to be the emperor at that time. But for now, let's take care of the present.

Ma Shiying thought like this in his heart, but he didn't tell his son and cronies, after all, the less people know about this kind of big event, the better, especially his second son Ma Cheng, who is open-mouthed and can tell you anything, so this matter must be hidden from him.

Ma Shiying thought about it and said to Ma Cheng: "Cheng'er, there's nothing for you to do here, you go out, I have something to say with your brother and uncle!" ”

Ma Cheng couldn't help anything when he heard Ma Shiying say this, so he had to get up and salute and leave. Now that the military situation is urgent, Ma Cheng didn't dare to stay at home longer, just went back to see his son Ma Yuan, and then immediately returned to Jubaomen.

By this time it was already dark, the fire outside the city had been extinguished, and the smell of roasted meat was spreading from inside and outside the city. Ma Cheng came to the city and looked outside, there was no light pollution in this era, so it was pitch black two hundred meters outside the city. Ma Cheng told Ma Bao to keep the night vigil soldiers, and then return to the Yingtianfu Yamen to rest.

Ma Cheng can have a good rest, but in Zhenjiang Mansion, a hundred miles away, the Manchu Han Army Banner Melle Ezhen Li Shutai is kneeling in front of a middle-aged man trembling, this middle-aged man is exactly thirty-one years old this year, but the perennial wind and sand outside the Saiwai make him look older than his actual age.

This man had a shaved head on his head, and a pigtail that was the thickness of a little finger and more than a foot long in the middle of the halogen door at the back of his head was the Manchu money rattail braid. This person is the famous Prince Yu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is, Duoduo, who is known as the Ten Kings.

Duoduo was crossed the river with the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the afternoon, and just arrived here to receive the battle report from the front, Li Shutai led 30,000 horses to attack the city, and was burned to death more than 10,000 people under the city of Nanjing.

Li Shutai placed his soldiers in Jurong and personally went to Zhenjiang to find Duoduo to plead guilty. Li Shutai knew that this ten kings were not ordinary, and he led troops to fight when he was a teenager, but he was not so easy to fool.

Li Shutai knelt on the ground and stammered: "Master of the Ten Kings, the slaves took those Ming Dynasty soldiers to offer a generous gift to the master, but I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty guarded the way of the generals, and nearly 10,000 people were burned to death outside the city. "First Chinese Network

Duoduo touched the top of his smooth head with his fingers, and then smiled: "Cousin, please get up, you are the cousin of this king, just pay attention to this mistake next time!" ”

Li Shutai didn't expect Duoduo to be so easy to speak, so he quickly kowtowed and stood up. Of course, it wasn't true that Duoduo let him go, because Li Shutai was his cousin, but Li Shutai's grandfather Abatai, who was about to die.

Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhachi, a native of the Blue Banner of Manchuria, although this Abatai is the son of Nurhachi, but his life has not been smooth. Abatai's mother was the concubine Ilgen Jue Luo, and she was not very liked by Nurhachi, so when the sons were divided, the brothers Azig and Dolgon, who were only in their teens, were given two banners, and Abatai, who was thirty-eight years old at the time, was just a Belle.

After Nurhachi's death, the new Great Khan Emperor Taiji did not respect this elder brother very much, and the sons and nephews of Haoge and Yue Zhi were all crowned princes, and the seventh master Abatai was only Baylor. This made Abatai very unhappy in his heart, so he likes to say some strange things to criticize Huang Taiji every day, but Abatai belongs to a brave and unscrupulous person, and Huang Taiji only reprimanded him severely, and there was no substantive punishment.

Although this Abatai is brave and unscrupulous, he is indeed the longest living one among the brothers, and he has been waiting for Huang Taiji to die, and this seventh master Abatai is still alive. After Huang Taiji's death, no heir was specified, so the Eight Banners began to elect their preferred heirs, among which the most promising heirs to the throne were Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge, and Nurhachi's ninth son Dorgon.

At this time, the opinion of the Eight Banners was very important, and the two white flags of the Dolgon brothers turned out to be the two yellow flags of Nurhachi, which were the most powerful. But Hauge's supporters are not good at stubble, and they are supported by the two yellow flags left by Huang Taiji. Among the other four flags, the two red flags of the old slippery head and the blue flag of the coward Jierharang are not clear, so the remaining positive blue flag is the most critical.

The first banner owner of the Zhenglan Banner was Nurhachi's fifth son, Mang Gurtai, this guy was brave and good at fighting and won many battles, but he was similar to the other brothers of Huang Taiji, the more powerful he was, the shorter he lived, and he died in his thirties.

After the death of Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji incorporated the brave and warlike Zhenglan Banner and changed it to the Shangsangsan Banner, which was led by the emperor himself. Yes, at this time, the upper three flags were still two yellow flags and a positive blue flag, and there was nothing wrong with the positive white flag, and the positive white flag became one of the upper three flags, which was after Dorgon's death.

When Hauge and Dolgon were fighting for power, the two sides were equal in strength, and the attitude of the blue flag became the key. At this time, the waste Abatai stood up and spoke, and enlisted a group of leaders with the blue flag to support Dolgon, allowing Dolgon to take the lead in the battle for the throne. It's just that in the end, I didn't expect Hauge to retreat bravely, since you don't let Lao Tzu be it, then don't be anyone! Seeing that his strength was not good, Haoge immediately turned to support his younger brother Fulin, and at the same time, Fulin's old lady Bumu Butai used his wrist to win over the old slippery head to do good, so that Fulin could become the emperor, that is, Emperor Shunzhi.

Although Dolgon did not become the emperor, he was still mixed with a regent, so he was very grateful to Abatai for helping him, and naturally he was also a lot more tolerant of Li Shutai of Abatai's line.

Li Shutai knew the relationship between his cheap grandfather and Dorgon, otherwise he would not dare to come and plead guilty, and now he stood up after hearing Dordo ask him to get up and salute quickly.

"Cousin, you said that you lost 10,000 people outside Yingtian City, please tell me the details!" Although Duoduo took those who surrendered to the army, but it was the first time that he had entered the customs to lose 10,000 people in a battle, so he naturally had to be interrogated.

Hearing what Duoduo said, Li Shutai hurriedly recounted the battle in detail in the morning, and of course his carelessness was dismissed, and the reason for the loss of 10,000 men was entirely due to the rash advance of General Zhang Tianlu. However, Li Shuitai did not hide the fact that the Ming army had Hongyi cannons, and made the number, range, and power of the artillery clear.

Duoduo didn't take it to heart at first, he had already seen a lot of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and he was not the opponent of the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at all. But when he heard that there were twelve Hongyi cannons on the city, Duoduo was a little concerned.

Duoduo frowned and asked, "Hongyi Cannon?" Have you counted the twelve? ”

Li Shutai nodded again and again: "The minions have checked very clearly, it is twelve!" ”

That's the problem! Duoduo has been at war with the Ming army for many years and is very clear about the strength of the Ming army. There are only thirty-three of these original Hongyi cannons in the country, except for the eleven in the head of Ningyuan City, the other twenty-two are in the head of Beijing, and now there are twelve more doors here in Yingtianfu, is it a new cast by the Ming Dynasty government for more than a year?

However, Duoduo dispelled his thoughts again, and the Manchu Qing's own artillery units were under the management of King Sanshun, and the artillery they cast themselves was far less powerful than the original Hongyi cannon, and the range and firepower were inferior. But what Li Shutai said just now is the original Hongyi cannon, could it be that the Ming army bought a new cannon from the Francophone man?

Duoduo thought for a while and decided not to think about it, anyway, there were twenty-four original cannons in the Ming Dynasty back then, and it was useless to have these twelve more now. After making up his mind, Duoduo ordered the army to march out early tomorrow morning, to see how strong Yingtianfu, the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, was.
