April in the world is full of flowers.

In April of 1645, the weather was already quite warm, and the Central Plains was full of spring flowers, and nature was thriving.

Even Shengjing, which is outside the gates, is melting ice and snow, spitting green grass, thousands of trees competing for fragrance, and full of spring.

However, the Shengjing at this time, that is, the Shengjing of the second year of Shunzhi, more precisely, is the Shengjing of the second year of Shunzhi that Lin Yi crossed over, not the second year of Shunzhi in the history textbook.

The people of the Qing Dynasty were panicked, as if they were about to usher in the end of the world. This place is similar to the northern capital in early 1644, and the saddest thing is the high-level of the Aixin Jueluo family.

Seven-year-old Xiao Shunzhi is not smooth at all. Ever since his nurse dressed him in new clothes, combed his long braids, and led him to the throne, he began to have a bad time.

It is manifested in the repeated defeats of the Ming War of the Great Qing Dynasty, and the prince, Baylor, and ministers are dead and wounded. Including the most prestigious regent Dorgon, he also rolled back in embarrassment.

Now that the Ningjin defense line has been lost, their hopeful military department Shangshu Hong Chengchou has struggled to support for several months, and finally failed to hold this defense line.

Now Hong Chengchou's army has been wiped out, Jinzhou has fallen, and 200,000 Ming troops have left Jinzhou under the personal command of Lin Yi, the Ming Dynasty, and pointed at their Beijing division.

Jinzhou is only five or six hundred miles away from Shengjing, and I shudder to think about it.

The dream of wanting to enter the Central Plains and ruling the harmful people seems to have been shattered, and all this is of course caused by Lin Yi's crossing.

Now Xiao Shunzhi also firmly remembers this name that has a deep blood feud with him - Lin Yi. Although he hadn't seen Lin Yi, his ears had long been closed, and the eunuchs, palace maids, and auxiliary ministers around him told him, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang told him.

In Xiao Shunzhi's impression, this Lin Yi must be three-headed and six-armed, fierce and vicious......

The Jingshi of the Qing Dynasty went to the Jingkunning Palace, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sat on a high-end sitting, and the seven-year-old Xiao Shunzhi blinked his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, the university Shi Ning Wanme, the university scholar Fan Wencheng, the auxiliary ministers Sony, Sukhhasa, and Kupilon, the ministers of parliament, Xihan, Tulai, the Jingying Governor Zu Dashou, the Mongolian prince Tieshu Wuhua, the Mongolian general Subutai, and so on all came in one after another.

Everyone knelt down to greet the emperor and the queen mother. The regent Dolgon did not kneel, but bowed to their mother and son.

"Everyone loves Qing, don't be polite." Little Shunzhi Road. His voice is as immature as a second-grade elementary school student reading a book.

"Thank you, Lord Long." These well-known figures in the early days of the relationship stood up from the ground, shook their sleeves, bowed their heads, and listened to the hadith.

Shunji didn't say anything further down because he didn't know what to say. The regent Dolgon didn't say anything now, because since he had returned from the defeat at Shanhaiguan and Huanggutun last year, he had crawled in bed for several months before he dared to get out of bed and walk.

Up to now, the functions of all parts of the body have not been fully restored, and some of him knows about the affairs of the court and the middle of the court during this period, and some of them don't know, and of course he, the regent, can't take any politics.

Today's meeting is attended only in the capacity of regent.

Presiding over the meeting today, the one who arbitrarily schemed was of course the legendary woman in the history of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

This woman who has just Chinese New Year's Eve early in this year is naturally beautiful, beautiful and beautiful, with flowers and moons, sinking fish and geese, and it is not an exaggeration to use any words to describe her beauty like a flower.

But at this time, her face was also full of sadness, and it was uncertain.

took her aunt to conceive, and at the age of 13, she married Huang Taiji, and kept a husband with her aunt, becoming the pride and sustenance of the Horqin Department.

In the past twenty years, she has forged an immortal legend of a woman and became the first queen of the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

But a year ago, her husband Huang Taiji suddenly died and drove west, which caught her off guard, because the Qing royal family was facing a fratricidal disaster. In the end, with her alertness and wisdom and excessive gentleness, she turned hostility into jade silk and finally got through this political crisis.

It was also in order to pass on the crisis, after surviving this crisis, they mobilized the strength of the Qing Dynasty to carry out the Ming War, preparing to conquer the Ming Dynasty in the south, realize the will of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and achieve the goal of ruling the Han people.

However, things did not go as expected, and now she is an orphan and a widow and has encountered another big problem.

The war was lost again and again, each time more badly defeated, and each time the consequences were more serious.

In front of him, the Ningjin defense line was lost, Nikan and Bolo's reinforcements returned in vain, Nikan died on the battlefield, Bolo was half dead, and now he is still lying on the bed, and Hong Chengchou's entire army was annihilated. Jinzhou City was not only lost, but Yizhou City was also lost, and what is even more hateful is that Ezhe, who has been crowned a prince by Huang Taiji, actually surrendered, and the Ming Dynasty betrayed the Qing Dynasty and surrendered the city.

These evil consequences directly led to the miscarriage of Fan Wencheng's clever plan to make Han system for them, even if their Ningjin defense line can be defended until now, it seems that this clever plan has not improved.

Because so far, Zhang Xianzhong of the Great Western Kingdom and Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of the sea, have not stirred up much wind and waves after all, and they have not affected Lin Yi's rear in the slightest, let alone forced him to retreat.

It's just that Fan Wencheng lost two large quantities of gold, silver, jewelry and beauties in vain. This made Fan Wencheng also look depressed, so the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang no longer gave him face.

However, this is not the most important thing, because whether it is Yizhou, Ningyuan and Jinzhou, these are not the inherent territories of their Qing Dynasty, they were all plundered from the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia a few years ago.

The tricky thing in front of me is that after Lin Yi, the Ming Dynasty prisoner, took the Ningjin defense line, there was no squad to return to the court, and he intensified his entanglement of 200,000 soldiers and horses out of Jinzhou, pointing at their Daqing Jing Division, and the soldiers and horses were invincible everywhere they went.

The current Qing Dynasty is empty, there are no soldiers to send, even the national soldiers of the dynasty with Mongolian soldiers, with Han people with Tartars, all together, miscellaneous, patting the head is counted as one, the entire Qing Dynasty is added up to one, and there are no tens of thousands of people. All those who could fight in the entire Beijing division were sent out to defend the city and go to the battlefield, and there were no 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty has been fighting for many years in recent years, and the national strength has been seriously depleted, and the territory and strength of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom cannot be compared, so how can it bear the continuous battles? Now it is not only the soldiers who are in an emergency, but also the food and salaries, and the ordnance and materials are in an emergency, and the trade with the Ming Dynasty has long been cut off.

Heavy domestic conscription taxes and military service have made the people miserable. Even under the noses of the Qing Dynasty, there was also a Liao riot. This is a very terrible signal, if it goes on like this for a long time, and there are any thieves like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng like Daming, they really can't hold it back.

What's even worse is that there are only a handful of generals who can fight habitually. Jierharang of the Aixin Jueluo family has become crippled, like He Daishan and others are already old, unable to ride a horse, unable to dance a knife, let alone pull a bow, and unable to go to the battlefield. Those mainstays and young up-and-comers, such as Dolgon, Duoduo, Aobai, Hauge, Azig, Yuetuo, Yuele, Mandahai, Nikan, Bolo, etc., died and wounded, and they were all useless.

The remaining Han Chinese, Mongols and Koreans were also useless, and some of them did not dare to use them.

Because now the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has learned from the side that due to the successive defeats of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has won one after another, and it is advancing step by step. The position of many Mongolian tribes has been shaken, and Mobei Mongolia, which said that it would be dependent on the Qing Dynasty, is now not mentioning it, and it is obvious that it is holding a wait-and-see attitude.

The powerful Moxi Mongols, who had previously sent envoys to communicate with them, had also cut off contact with them.

It is said that the king of the court also began to disobey them.

The rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty are troubled internally and externally, and the wind and rain are fluctuating, like the lamp of the tuyere, which is precarious.

In this case, who can deal with the 200,000 iron army of the Ming Dynasty?

As the queen mother of a country, she had to gather civil and military to discuss the country's affairs.

Because she knew very well in her heart that the crisis in front of her was more terrible than the political crisis faced by the Qing Dynasty during the death of her husband Huang Taiji, and it also tested her wisdom and ability.
