At this moment, Ma Wei was ready to continue to treat her dizziness, which frightened Yao Qiuyue and hurriedly found an excuse to go back to the cabin to rest, and Ma Wei helped her to walk to the cabin happily, leaving Wu Junzhen and Zhu Youlan to look at each other here.

Wu Junzhen opened his mouth and asked, "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, could you have eaten something?" That's what caused an upset stomach, right? ”

But Zhu Youlan thought for a while and replied, "The county lord is like this when he encounters a cold wind, go and prepare some ginger soup." Wu Junzhen felt a little far-fetched after hearing this, but he still turned around and ordered his subordinates to get ginger and brown sugar to boil for themselves.

After Zhu Youlan saw him leave, she thought that Wu Junzhen would not come over? Who knew that after half a cup of tea, she smelled a fragrance coming to her nose, and before Zhu Youlan could react, Wu Junzhen had already walked up with ginger syrup and put it in front of Zhu Youlan for her to drink, but Zhu Youlan put up a shelf, she tilted her cheeks sideways, and the corners of her mouth rose and said, "The county lord, the pain in the abdomen is inconvenient to take a spoon, so you can feed it!" After hearing this, Wu Junzhen had to honestly reach for the spoon.

At this time, the soldiers happened to come over with the accompanying military doctor to check Zhu Youlan's pulse, so that Wu Junzhen took the opportunity to get out and go out to patrol the side of the deck, so Zhu Youlan's plan to approach Wu Junzhen failed again! The ship soon passed through Yongcheng County, Guide Province and entered the Nanzhili area, and Prince Mingfu and Prince Minglu led the prince of Ming Chongsu, the county lord of Ming Tai'an, and some of the clans under the escort of Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei and others to land and walk in the direction of Suzhou.

At this time, in Shengjing, the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty under the sun shining in the north, the soldiers of the Eight Banners stood straight with spears in their hands, and in the distance, a person wearing a single eye (wearing a flower feather on the top), wearing a black court robe and wearing a Buddhist bead on his chest, strode to the door of the Baoji Palace, and when he came to the palace gate, the soldiers guarding the door saluted him and said, "Jurchen language: meet the scholars." ”

I saw that Hong Chengchou, a scholar of the Manchu Han Dynasty, hurriedly walked into the palace and reported to the regent of the Manchu imperial father, Aixin Jueluo Dolgon, who was reviewing the folding, "The old minister meets His Royal Highness the Imperial Father Regent, and wishes his Royal Highness the Imperial Father Regent long live, long live, long live!" Before he finished speaking, the regent of the Manchu Emperor's father looked at Hong Chengchou, who hurriedly came to meet him, and suddenly felt that something big was going to happen? He asked, "The Han University is so anxious, what do you want to report?" ”

I saw that the Manchu Han scholar replied, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, the emperor's father, something big has happened in the Central Plains in recent months!" After hearing this, the regent of the Manchu emperor hurriedly put down the fold and asked, "What's the big deal?" ”

So the Manchu Han scholar stepped forward and took out the topographic map of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, pointed to Ning Yuanwei's area and said, "The old minister just learned from the Central Plains Jin Merchants and Liao Merchants that the Liukou army has approached the Datongfu area of the Ming Empire in Shanxi Chengxuan, which is a good thing for my Qing Dynasty?" The old minister thought that he should immediately send troops south to occupy Ningyuan, Zhongzuo, and the Imperial Thousand Households, and by the way, he collected Lianshanyi, Changling Mountain Fort, Zeng Zhuangyi, Suishan Fort, Zhaihe'er Fort and other places to seize the opportunity, and waited for the opportunity to surrender Wu Sangui and Gao Di, so the rest of the guards except Shanhaiwei were basically within the control of our army. ”

Having said that, the regent of the Manchu imperial father still hesitated when he heard it! He kept wandering back and forth in the main hall, seeing that the proposal was unsuccessful? The Manchu Han scholar interjected another sentence and said: "His Royal Highness, the Imperial Father, if our army wants to enter the Central Plains, then we must not miss this opportunity?" As long as our army goes south, then it will be equivalent to Jian Lian's cooperation with Liukou, so that the Ming Court can be attacked on both sides, and even if Ning Yuanwei can't be taken at that time, he can take the opportunity to grab some food! ”

Speaking of this, the regent of the Manchu emperor's father was a little moved, and he said to the soldiers outside the palace, "Jurchen language: Quickly spread the civil and military ministers to wait at the Great Qing Gate, and said that there is nothing to discuss." ”

Subsequently, the civil and military officials of the Qing court, as well as the major Baylors, princes, and county kings, all gathered in the Great Qing Gate, where everyone began to discuss and said, "Jurchen language: I don't know which play this imperial father regent is singing today?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Emperor Shunzhizhang, the ancestor of the Manchu Dynasty, wearing a winter court dress and wearing white Buddha beads, under the support of the Manchu eunuchs: Aixin Jueluo Fulin, appeared in the imperial gate and sat in the court to listen to the government, and under the order of the Manchu emperor's father regent, the horns of the Manchu honor guards began to sound (hmm, hmm, hmm~).

After blowing, the two classes of civil and military ministers began to salute the Manchu Emperor's father regent and the Manchu Shunzhi Emperor in an orderly manner, saying: "Jurchen language: Slaves, see the emperor, see the emperor's father, His Royal Highness the regent, may my emperor and the imperial father regent, long live." ”

Then the Manchu military department Shangshu and Prince Shuoyu: Aixin Jueluo Duoduo, stepped forward and asked, "Jurchen language: I don't know what the emperor and his father regent, His Royal Highness, summoned the minions in such a hurry?" And the regent of the Manchu emperor's father was a cheerful person, so he said directly: "Jurchen language: Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, the Liukou Eastern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty is trying to fight for the northern region, and it is really an ally of my Qing Dynasty, so I plan to take this opportunity to march south, I don't know what you think?" ”

After hearing this, the Manchu military department Shangshu and the Manchu Heshuo Zheng Prince: Aixin Jueluo Zierharang, the Manchu Heshuo Chengze Prince: Aixin Jueluo Shuosai, these three people respectively proposed to lead the troops, which made the Manchu Emperor's father regent look at the brave and invincible soldiers of the Qing Empire and think that this battle must be won, but considering that there are both elite iron cavalry and heavy artillery defending the city in the Ningyuanwei area, if this loss cannot be captured for a long time, it is not a joke? Therefore, the regent of the Manchu emperor felt that this expedition was still inappropriate! Moreover, Tsarist Russia in the north also invaded from time to time, which also gave the Qing court a headache!

When looking at the silent Manchu Emperor Regent on the platform of the main hall, the Manchu Qing and Shuoli Princes: Aixin Jueluo Daishan, walked up and said, "Jurchen language: Emperor Qiyu, Emperor Regent, Imperial Father Regent, we can let Li Korea send troops to cooperate with the attack from the flank, so as to prevent the Ming army from Guangning Qiantunwei and other places from coming to the rescue of Ning Yuanwei. ”

After hearing this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty praised the Manchu and Shuoli princes, and thought that it was appropriate to let the Li Joseon send troops, after all, the Li Korean army was familiar with the terrain of Ning Yuanwei and Shanhaiwei, and secondly, it was also a test of whether the Li Joseon was loyal.

Just about to give the order, he was stopped by the Manchu military department Shangshu, he thought that the Li dynasty had a connection with the Ming court, in case this time if he defected, wouldn't the whole plan be in vain? In this way, the Manchus fell into quarrels again.

One minister advocated that Lee's Korea should send troops, while another part of the ministers proposed that the Eight Banners should go to Lee's Korea to provide food, and seeing that everyone was arguing, the Manchu Qing Minister of Parliament who was standing in the back row: Fan Wencheng, came out and said, "His Royal Highness the Regent, the old minister's opinion is credible or not!" But if there is a handle to contain it, then Lee's North Korea will definitely treat everyone equally? The Manchu imperial father regent felt a little confused when he heard this.

He asked, "What did Aiqing say about this?" The Manchu minister said: "The old minister thinks that now the Joseon prince and the two of them are still hostages in their own country, that is the best handle!" If the Lee Joseon is willing to help our army take the Ningyuanwei area this time, then our DPRK can promise to return the Joseon prince as a reward, of course, the key depends on whether the Lee Joseon prince is sincere? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu Han scholar asked for orders: "Imperial father, His Royal Highness the Regent, the old minister is willing to lead an elite army to monitor the Li Korean army in the rear, once there is any intention to contact the Ming court?" Kill immediately. However, the regent of the Manchu emperor felt that this matter was not trivial, and it was the key to whether the Qing Dynasty could take all the guards outside the Shanhaiwei Pass, so the regent of the Manchu emperor ordered the Manchu and Shuoyu princes: Aixin Jueluo Duoduo, and the Manchu and Shuoying princes: Aixin Jueluo Azig, the two princes went out with him, accompanied by the Manchu Han people, and the Li Korean army was the flank.

After the decree was issued, the Manchu Qing Zheng White Flag Baturu rode a fast horse to Li Korea to deliver the decree, but just out of the city, he saw that the dark sky outside had already fallen drizzle, the Manchu Qing Zheng White Flag Baturu quickly rode through the muddy official road, the horse's hooves stepped on the puddle and splashed a lot of water, the Manchu Qing herald who advanced in the rain did not dare to delay for a moment, and after Fengji Fort, he directly entered the Weiningbao Horse Post to change the horses and continue to hurry.

On the other side, the general army of Ming Shanxi in the city of Yanmen guarding the palace is arranging a defense plan, and sending soldiers to contact the octagonal guard of the thousand households, Baodezhou, Laoying Fort to guard the thousand households, the head to guard the thousand households, Ningwu to guard the thousand households, Shanxi Town and other places to come together to resist the Liukou, and order the soldiers to go down After the Ming Shanxi general: Wang Pingzhong, he came into the camp tent and asked, "Lord Qiyu General Soldier, our army's horses and ammunition have been lacking recently!" Do you want to ask for some from Yanmen Qianhu? ”

For Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Ming Shanxi, who has always had a good face, how could it be a shame, so he asked, "Are the horses of our cavalry sufficient?" How much ammunition is left? "General Ming Shanxi estimated and replied to the general army, there are less than eight hundred horses! There were only twenty stones of ammunition left. ”

Hearing this, the general of Ming Shanxi was a little disappointed, and the general of Ming Shanxi next to him knew that he would never borrow materials from the local garrison in terms of character, so he asked for an order: "Lord General Soldier, there is also a wealthy merchant relative in the territory of Yanmen to guard the thousand households, he may be able to donate some money and food, and I implore the general general to approve the last general to leave the camp?" After these words were approved to withdraw from the camp, General Ming Shanxi thought for a while and decided to try it and walked towards the thousand households.

The thousand households here in the Ming Yan Gate Thousand Households: Chen Mingding, is taking the lead in leading the brothers to bet in a remote house in the Zhisu City, he picked up the dice cup and began to shake, the soldiers next to him looked at his left and right shaking hands with wide eyes and full attention, only to hear (stomping) a sound of the dice cup on the table, Ming Yanmen Thousand Households shouted, "Come on, come on, start betting to buy and leave." ”

In order to earn more money, the soldiers made bets according to their own ideas, and shouted in unison, "Open, open!" ”

Seeing that the soldiers' interest was so high, Ming Yanmen Qianhu remembered a thing? He said, "Since the brothers are so elegant, why don't we play a game?" When the bet is opened, we will go down to the restaurant tonight, and by the way, play a few girls to have fun, what do you think? Everyone agreed with this.

But at the moment when the Ming Yanmen Qianhu opened the bet, many soldiers on the side held their breath and looked at the dice quietly, and when they raised their hands, the soldiers immediately collapsed to the ground and lost a fine light! Only a few soldiers won two taels of silver, and they held them in their hands with a smile.
