Three days later, Li Xiao was in Jinan and received a good news that Wu Zhuang had successfully captured the city of Yakutsk, and he was overjoyed. [with _ dream]ā .

"What a martial artist, he really lived up to his father's expectations, and the city of Yakutsk, an important city in Russia, was really taken by him."

Li Xiao looked happy and paced back and forth in the room, feeling very emotional.

It's not easy, the Tang army in Anton Town, thousands of miles through mountains and rivers, and paid hundreds of casualties before they were lucky enough to take Yakutsk City, but it was extremely difficult, and it can be seen that the combat strength of the Russian army is still quite strong.

At the same time, Li Xiao was also thinking that if the Russians had been prepared or could close the city gate in time, then the probability of the Tang army under his command would be quite high.

In this way, the Russians are now highly vigilant in taking the city of Yakutsk, and this way of seizing the city is no longer possible.

Then, Li Xiao immediately replied to Wu Zhuang, wanting to reward all the meritorious soldiers, and at the same time asking him to defend the hard-won city of Yakutsk, and to strengthen the garrison in case the Russians made a comeback.

As for Ilgenjue Rochata, who was seriously injured in his lower leg and had become crippled, although he was spared, he could only be retired now.

Li Xiao also regretted this Manchurian general who had been loyal since he joined the service, sighed for a long time, and finally decided to give this great hero a special medal in the Tang Army, the Dragon Yin Medal.

The Dragon Yin Medal can be rewarded with 5oo taels of silver at one time, the whole family is exempt from taxes, and 200 acres of land can be rewarded on the newly expanded overseas territory of the Tiger Army.

Combined with Chata's previous exploits, Li Xiao gave Chata's final reward of 2,000 gold yuan, 4,000 gold yuan for senior officers' retirement and disability pension, and a total of 6,000 gold yuan for all rewards.

In other words, unless Chata is cut off from his descendants in the future and there is no successor, Li Xiao will take back the land that was rewarded to him, so that he can enjoy it in peace for his children and grandchildren.

For such subordinates who are loyal to him, Li Xiao naturally does not hesitate to reward. After all, there is nothing more effective in motivating his men than to reap the enormous benefits of a loyal hero.

Li Xiao was very happy to capture the city of Yakutsk, but now he is most concerned about the Tang Army in Pingnan Town and the entry into Australia.

Half a month ago, the Tang Army, which had been resting on the island of New Guinea for more than a month, and had re-replenished its recruits and ordnance, divided its troops into three routes and launched an attack on the whole of Australia with overwhelming momentum.

Among them, Li Dingguo's A Battalion and Cao Bianjiao's C Battalion attacked the Australian mainland from the north and south ends of the Australian continent respectively.

Luo Zheng's second battalion is to attack the islands between the islands of New Guinea such as the Micronesian Islands and the Melanesian Islands and the Australian mainland.

Compared with the island of New Guinea, the indigenous people of the whole Australian region are fewer and more primitive, and most of them are Maori aborigines who can't even make tools, and these natives who are still in the Paleolithic Age are not opponents of the Tang Army at all. Therefore, Li Xiao demanded that the soldiers of Pingnan Town, according to the standards of the island of New Guinea, should pacify the entire Australian mainland within half a year at the latest.

The obedient live, the rebel die, although the Tang army's means of conquering Australia are fierce, but they are still much more civilized and merciful than those Western whiteskins who kill all the natives regardless of men, women, and children.

Thinking that this vast Australian mainland and its affiliated islands can be included in the territory of China, Li Xiao's heart is full of relief. You must know that this is equivalent to laying a piece of land for China that will be used endlessly by future generations, and this credit is enough for future generations to remember.

It is a pity that such a vast and fertile land, which should have been the precious property of the industrious and intelligent Chinese nation that has been passed down from generation to generation, is now occupied by the white skins of Europe.

At the end of September of the 14th year of Chongzhen, Golovin, who was still in the city of Minsk, finally waited for the tsar's reply.

When he saw that Tsar Michael Romanov had sent 2,000 musketeers and 500 Cossack mercenaries to regain the lost territory under his own command, Golovin was overjoyed.

At this time, Golovin had already learned from Mikhail, the leader of the caravan who had returned to the city of Shangliuminsk, that the capture of the city of Yakutsk was the Tang army under Li Xiao, the Tang prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao, Tang Jun, after a few words, became Golovin's most hated words.

"Your Majesty, the wise Tsar, will certainly not disappoint your expectations." Golovin muttered to himself, a pair of dark blue eyes full of hope.

"Brother, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor really appreciates you, not only did he not punish you, but gave you the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune, you must take advantage of it." Spantenov said with a smile.

"Of course, tomorrow I will personally set off to the capital of the Qing State and negotiate with them about the alliance between the two countries against Li Xiao's Tang Army." Golovin clenched his fists fiercely.

More than a month passed, Golovin led a hundred cavalry escorts, from Shangliu Minsk to the south, detoured through Mongolia, from west to east, successively passed through the Weng Niute Division, the Naiman Division, the Karaqin Division, the Horqin Division, and then Guangning, and finally came to Shenyang, the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

When Golovin and his entourage were leaving Verkhniy Liuminsk and heading for the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji was worried about one thing.

That is, his favorite concubine, Hai Lanzhu, is seriously ill and is dying.

Concubine Guan Ju Gongchen, Borzigit, named Hailanzhu. Born in the 37th year of Wanli, she is the daughter of Korqin Belle Zhaisang in Mongolia and the niece of Empress Xiaoduanwen. In the eighth year of Tiancong, Hai Lanzhu entered the Qing Palace at the age of twenty-six. As early as the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven, her thirteen-year-old sister Bumu Butai had already married Huang Taiji. Whether Hai Lanzhu was married before this, who her ex-husband was, and what children she gave birth to, there is no way to test in all kinds of history books.

In the first year of Chongde, when Huang Taiji canonized the Five Great Blessings, he was named Concubine Chen of Guan Ju Palace, the first of the four concubines, second only to his aunt Zhezhe.

Huang Taiji named the East Palace where Hai Lanzhu lived "Guan Ju Palace". Hai Lanzhu's title and the name of the palace where she lives fully express Huang Taiji's heartfelt love for Hai Lanzhu.

Concubine Chen is deeply favored by Huang Taiji, and the two have a deep relationship. On the eighth day of the seventh month of the second year of Chongde, Concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth son of Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji granted amnesty for this, which was a measure that would only be taken when the crown prince was established. Mother and son are the most favored by Huang Taiji.

But as the so-called good times did not last long, this son had not yet been named, and died on the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the third year of Chongde, less than one year old. This son died early, Hai Lanzhu was very sad, and her health gradually deteriorated, although Huang Taiji comforted her many times, but she was still sick day by day, and finally came to the end of her life in this Chongzhen fourteen years.

In real history, this time Huang Taiji was leading the army to command the battle in the land of Songjin, and when he rushed back to Shenyang, Hai Lanzhu had been dead for three days, and the two finally failed to meet.

In this time and space changed by Li Xiao, the Qing army has been recuperating and recovering outside the customs since it suffered a major setback when it entered the customs. This is a famous battle in history that determined the final direction of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it failed to fight. Therefore, Huang Taiji was able to be by the bedside, accompany this favorite concubine, and spend the last time of his life.

In Guan Sui Palace, Hai Lanzhu was carefully held in the arms of Huang Taiji, and she looked haggard, and she was being drunk by Huang Taiji himself with a small spoon and a mouthful of decoction.

At this time, Hai Lanzhu, because of her long-term illness, her beauty has long been gone, but Huang Taiji still hugged her with a look of pity, and fed the decoction so carefully, she didn't mind at all. Her tears unconsciously filled her eyes.

Not long after, after feeding the medicine, Hai Lanzhu was carefully placed on the bed pillow by Huang Taiji, and at this time, she finally couldn't help but burst out of her eyes with crystal tears.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are seriously ill, I'm afraid that the days are numbered, so the emperor doesn't have to worry about the concubines anymore."

"How can you say stupid things, you are good at giving birth to and raising, and you will be Huo Ran in the future." Huang Taiji's eyes were also full of tears, he squeezed out a smile and comforted her softly,

In the face of this most beloved concubine, he showed a ruthless dictator with a rare tender side.

Hai Lanzhu shook her head slowly: "The concubine is blessed, I know that my life is about to end, and I can no longer serve the king, I already know it in my heart, and I also ask the emperor to raise the dragon body well, and revitalize the country, even if the concubine dies, her heart is ......also safe."

Huang Taiji's face twitched, leaned over, and hugged her emaciated body tightly in his arms, and tears were already rolling on the big cake face: "My Huang Taiji, although there are many wives and concubines, you are the only one who loves you." I thought that I could stay with you for a long time and spend this life together, but I didn't expect that the creation made people, and the road was bumpy, first our emperor left, and now you are ......, alas, don't think so much, it will be fine, it will be fine, I believe I, I asked the shaman, and they said, Concubine Chen, your body will be fine soon......"

Hai Lanzhu raised her thin right hand with difficulty, trembling and rubbing Huang Taiji's rough and fat face, and squeezed out a sad smile on her face: "Your Majesty, the concubine has to meet the king, so that the king cares so much, the concubine has no regrets in this life, if there is an afterlife, she will continue with the king and never give up." Your Majesty, you're tired too, so go and rest early. “

Huang Taiji sighed, and after softly talking to her for a long time, he regretted leaving.

It's just that in the middle of the night, when he was about to rest and fall asleep, a palace maid suddenly rushed to report.

"The emperor, the emperor, Concubine Chen, she, she can't do it......"

'Ahh What did you say! Huang Taiji jumped up from the dragon couch.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is dying, her consciousness is drowsy, and she keeps calling the names of the emperor and the prince......" The palace maid was full of tears.

Huang Taiji's tears instantly filled his eyes.

He put on a coat indiscriminately, and followed the palace maid to the Guansui Palace in a hurry.

When he entered the Guan Sui Palace, when he saw Hai Lanzhu, the concubine Chen, who was trembling for a while on the hospital bed, his heart suddenly felt like a knife.

With an arrow step, he rushed to the head of the bed, grabbed Hai Lanzhu's thin hand, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, concubine, I'm here, I've come to see you, you'll be fine, you'll be fine soon, you'll be fine soon." Huang Taiji's face trembled, and he didn't say anything.

At this time, Hai Lanzhu was speechless, she opened her eyes with great difficulty, looked at Huang Taiji carefully, smiled slightly on her face, and tilted her neck to the side, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.

"Concubine, ......"

In Guan Sui Palace, Huang Taiji howled loudly, and a group of eunuchs and palace maids also cried loudly.

Three days later, after ceremonies such as stopping the spirit, calling back, and detouring, Concubine Hai Lanzhu was officially buried, and Huang Taiji personally sent a sacrifice.

"The emperor offered sacrifices to the concubine of Guan Ju Palace. He was born in the year of Yiyou. Three out of thirty. He died on September 28 of the year of Xin. I've met you. Affectionate. I want to share in the wealth. I don't want to be fast. The middle way is gone. I miss my love before I was born. Although I haven't forgotten it. Remembrance sighs. It is to prepare the sacrifice. With heartfelt feelings. He still ordered the lama and monk to recite the scriptures, and may you be blessed as soon as possible, so as to be detached......"

In the end, Huang Taiji cried and worshiped in front of Hai Lanzhu's tomb, personally poured the wine of the three lords, the kings' ministers and the Mongolian envoys of the foreign domain, etc., and paid tribute one after another.

Subsequently, Huang Taiji posthumously crowned Hai Lanzhu as Min Huigong and Concubine Yuan, and ordered that the court should be exempted from congratulations, the feast music and dance should be stopped, and all major ceremonies in the court and China were also suspended.

During this time, Huang Taiji was in an extremely sad mood, unable to lift his energy for any national affairs, and the whole person's spirit also quickly withered, and he was also much haggard, and he was not at all full of vigor in the past.

And the ministers, seeing that the emperor is in the palace on weekdays, often see things and think of people, whenever they think of Hai Lanzhu, they are sad and crying, and they persuade him many times to go out of Beijing to shoot and hunt for recreation.

And that Hai Lanzhu was buried five miles outside the gate of Shengjing, and Huang Taiji almost every time he hunted, he had to pass by her cemetery intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing the grass in the grave, thinking that the beloved concubine in his heart has died, the body is buried in the grave, and can not be resurrected, Huang Taiji will be grief-stricken, and he can't help crying and sacrificing like rain.

Huang Taiji is getting depressed day by day, and he is no longer in the past, and this shape is naturally seen by Dolgon Duoduo and others, and he is happy in his heart.

In the hearts of the two of them, they are already itching and ready to move. It's just that the two who are afraid of their majesty and power, and have a suspicious heart, still have to make a respectful and surrendering posture on the surface.

However, seeing that Huang Taiji was now emaciated and languishing day by day, both of them privately thought that perhaps, in the near future, they could start to really reach out and plan to find a way to touch the golden dragon chair.

Such days of depression and sorrow lasted until the end of October.

This was the Russian envoy Golovin, who traveled thousands of miles to Shenyang, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, with his entourage and a letter.

"Russians? Where did they come from? The emperor, who was meeting with the ministers in the Chongzheng Palace, frowned and asked.

"I don't know this, I only heard that their country is in the far north, very far away from my Qing Dynasty, and the Russian envoy came this time, but there is something important to explain to the emperor." Ingordai whispered.

Huang Taiji pondered for a while with a gloomy face, and then said loudly: "Okay, since they are from the north, I can't chill the hearts of people from afar, so let's go to the palace of the Russian envoy to meet them." ”

", Russian envoy, go to the temple to meet you."
