With the arrival of more than 3 million immigrants and this vivid and powerful force, Outer Manchuria and Eastern Siberia, which have been dormant until now in human history, have finally begun to wake up from their slumber and ushered in a vigorous spring.

In addition to vigorously opening up land and colonizing the deserted Outer Manchurian and Eastern Siberian areas into real fertile land, the main road linking Outer Manchurian and Eastern Siberia, that is, the highway from Miaojiebao to Yakutsk, which is being built with all its might, has also begun to be built with all its might, and efforts have been made to complete all construction within five years.

At the same time, the construction of a concrete avenue from Vladivostok to Temple Street Fort also began immediately, as the distance was shorter, and it was hoped that it would be completed within three years.

It can be expected that once these two main roads, which can be called the lifeline of Mobei, are completed, the entire East Siberia and Waimandang can be integrated, so as to realize the great convenience of personnel and material transportation, and make this vast wild and bitter cold land develop faster and better.

If this East Siberia and Outer Manchurian business can be well developed, then the eyes of the Tang army should be cast on Western Siberia in the west, and even the Ural Mountains in the distance......

Dreams are always getting bigger and bigger.

At a time when the construction of the entire Outer Manchurian and Eastern Siberia was flourishing, the alliance of the four countries, which Ma Shiying, Liu Kongzhao and others had been planning, to jointly resist Li Xiao's strategy was also being carried out at the same time.

Shengjing Imperial Palace, Chongzheng Palace.

On the top of the spacious and empty hall, the little emperor of Shunzhi sat bored on the dragon chair, muttering something in his mouth. Behind the dragon chair, a thick bead curtain is hung high, and the Queen Mother Bumu Butai is hanging the curtain behind it to listen to the government. The real ruler of the Qing court, the regent Dorgon, sat on a large tiger-headed chair next to the dragon chair, standing on his feet. In the whole hall, the relatives and nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the civil and military ministers, all gathered in the hall, standing in rows, and the atmosphere was quite serious.

And under the nine-layer Dan steps, there was a slender Ming Dynasty official, standing with his hands bowed. He became the focus of everyone's attention, and from time to time he peeked around, looking panicked.

This official is Shaozhan Shiyu of the Southern Ming Puppet Dynasty, and he secretly came to Shengjing this time to be ordered by Hongguang Puppet Prison and the puppet chief assistant Ma Shiying to persuade the Qing court to form an alliance with the Southern Ming Dynasty and fight against Li Xiao together.

Seeing Xiang Yu in the hall, trembling like a weak chicken, Dolgon's heart was full of contempt and pride, he deliberately lengthened his voice and asked loudly in Chinese; "Whoever is coming below, report the name quickly."

Hearing Dolgon's calm but majestic question, Xiang Yu trembled like a frightened rabbit, and then in the low laughter of the hall, he trembled: "In, below, below is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Shaozhan Zhiyu, this time I came to your country, it is really a major matter, and I want to discuss with the emperor and regent of your country." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Dolgon's tone was long.

"Regent, I am here to ask your country to form an alliance with this dynasty and jointly deal with the traitor Li Xiao, who is not the same as you and me!"

When Xiang Yu said the word Li Xiao, he deliberately accentuated his tone, and at the same time subconsciously gritted his teeth fiercely.

The reason why Xiang Yu hates Li Xiao like this is because now he and Tang King Li Xiao have become enemies of life and death.

Because, since Tang King Li Xiao led his troops to the south, Xiang Yu and his family fled south to Fuzhou with Hongguang Puppet Prison State, and all his family property in Nanjing was confiscated by the Tang Army, and there was no left. Therefore, the current Xiang Yu, after his family's wealth was exhausted, naturally hated this Tang King Li Xiao to the core.

After listening to Xiang Yu's words, the entire Qing court was suddenly like a boiling oil thrown into cold water, and a continuous buzzing sound sounded.

The Manchurian nobles and civil and military ministers who heard the news were very surprised by this exciting news, and they all whispered endlessly.

Dolgon listened to Xiang Yu's words, his eyebrows were also furrowed, his long eyes were almost closed into two narrow slits, he held the chair with one hand, and kept thinking about it with the other.

At this time, it seemed that the thick bead curtain seemed to be trembling slightly, and it was obvious that the Queen Mother Bumu Butai was also very surprised when she heard the news, and even a little restless.

Only the little emperor Shunzhi, who was not yet sensible, was quite cramped and uneasy when he saw that everyone in the court had changed so much for a while. He subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, and looked at his uncle Dolgon, who was like a tiger squatting next to him, and his eyes were as timid as a poor kitten.

Shunzhi muttered in his heart, could it be that he had done something wrong to make this mighty and harsh uncle so serious and cold. However, he secretly looked at it for a long time, and found that Dorgon had been looking down in contemplation, but not looking at himself, and gradually relieved himself.

When the court was a little quieter, Dolgon raised his head suddenly, coughed lightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Xiang Zhan, it is true that this dynasty and Li Xiao can be mortal enemies, but Li Xiao's house, isn't it the Tang King of your Ming Dynasty?" Why is it that until now, you have to join forces with this dynasty to deal with this fang? ”

Xiang Yu smiled bitterly, and then bowed his hand again: "Regent, since Li Xiao supported the establishment of the Emperor of Chongxing, those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, as if Cao Cao is alive." The ministers of the world are all afraid of its power and do not dare to confront it at all. However, the country has raised scholars for hundreds of years, and the atmosphere is still upright, and there are many officials and scholars who do not yield their authority, thinking of establishing a new lord and reviving the government. Therefore, the ministers and scholars with loyalty and righteousness jointly supported Hongguang to supervise the country, unified the regent of the country, and reorganized the dynasty to fight against the traitor Li Xiao in order to clean up the situation and people's hearts. ”

Seeing that Dolgon listened carefully, Xiang Yu replied: "But I didn't expect that the Hongguang Prison State had only been on the throne for less than half a year, and the traitor Li Xiao issued a holy decree to lead his tiger and wolf division to the south, chasing the dead all the way to the north, sweeping the southeast, and it was really difficult for our soldiers to resist its front." Poor Hongguang Jianguo and all the ministers, so they couldn't gain a foothold in Nanjing, so they had to resign from the temple in a hurry and move the capital to Fuzhou, hoping that the loyal and brave soldiers of Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Zhennan, would temporarily compete with the traitor Li Xiao. ”

When Xiang Yu said this, there was another buzzing sound like flies in the entire Chongzheng Palace, and the courtiers were talking about each other again.

Dolgon looked around at his courtiers, calm on the surface, but secretly surprised in his heart.

He originally thought that Li Xiao, after becoming the Tang King of the Ming Dynasty, would stop for a while no matter how he was powered, and he would probably fight with the ministers of the Ming Dynasty to restrain each other, so that the Ming Dynasty would not be able to form a truly unified form for a long time.

Such a situation, of course, will be extremely beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, and can give the Qing court an excellent opportunity for development, so that he can calmly dispatch troops to attack Li Xiao's Xuanfu North Road, and can also take advantage of the chaos of the Ming Dynasty to join forces with Li Zicheng to enter the pass and plunder, so as to make a fortune.

It's just that I never expected that Li Xiao's guy would react so quickly and be so decisive and ruthless. This person led the troops south, swept the south of the Yangtze River, took Nanjing, and beat the Hongguang court to the ground and quickly collapsed, and the strength of his troops was much stronger than when Zhu Di led the troops from Beiping to the south to sweep away the Jianwen court.

And the most terrifying point, and what worries Dolgon the most, is that Li Xiao is not burdened by false fame at all, and only seeks practical profits. As long as there are interests, there is no hesitation at all, do it when it should be, start the army when it should be, for those who do not obey their own internal forces in the Ming Dynasty, quickly sweep away, do not give them time and space to breathe and develop, so ruthless and resolute, not mistaken by false names, it is really the true character of the hero.

Then, it is foreseeable that if this person is allowed to continue to develop, one day, Li Xiao will no longer be able to control him, and finally sweep away the heroes and dominate the world.

Is this the inevitable end of history?

Dolgon's heart was entangled, and there was an indescribable feeling that crept through his heart.

So, now, should I agree to Xiang Yu's request?

Dolgon thought for a while, but replied with a sneer: "Xiang Yu, now that you are in charge of the Hongguang Prison Kingdom, and you have lost the most elite and important Jiangnan region of the Ming Kingdom, what else does he have to negotiate cooperation with this state?" ”

Dolgon's purpose in saying this is actually to assess how much strength still exists in the current Hongguang regime, and whether such a small government is still worth it, and the Qing Dynasty will join forces with it to fight against Li Xiao.

Xiang Yu smiled miserably, he groaned for a while, and Fang replied: "Regent, although my Hongguang Prison Kingdom has been defeated, you don't have to overestimate the thief Li Xiao too much." Up to now, this person has only occupied Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and northern Jiangxi. The rest of the southwestern and southern Chinese provinces are still under the control of our Hongguang Supervision State, and the Ming Dynasty still has considerable strength to compete with Li Xiao's gang. The reason why I am willing to join forces with your country is because of the current strength of our dynasty, and it is okay to defend it, but it is extremely difficult to recover the lost territory and eliminate Li Xiao. Therefore, Hongguang Jian sent a country to your country, hoping to join hands with your country and work together to eliminate and eradicate Li Xiao. “

After Xiang Yu said this, he hurriedly added: "Regent, Xiang Mou said something shyly, in ancient times, Shen Baoxu cried to the Qin court to seek the recovery of the teacher, and now there is my Xiang Yu special effect ex-sage, who came to your country to beg for help and defeat our common enemy Li Xiao together." If your country joins forces with our DPRK to resist Li Xiao, Li Xiao will be attacked by the north and south, and it will be difficult to resist. At that time, coupled with the strength of the other two countries, the four countries will attack together, and Li Xiao's gang will inevitably be wiped out under heavy pressure. ”

Hearing Xiang Yu's words, Dolgon's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly interjected: "The other two countries?" But which two countries? ”

Xiang Yu said urgently; This is Li Zicheng's Great Shunguo and Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Kingdom. Now I think that if your country can agree to form an alliance with our DPRK, it will certainly greatly affect the other two countries, and in the future, the matter of our DPRK's alliance with the other four countries will also be of great help. ”

When Dolgon heard this, he couldn't help but sneer.

It's ridiculous, this Hongguang monarch of the Ming Dynasty, so incompetent and mediocre, so reluctant and stealing, actually admitted that Li Zicheng, who stole the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Xianzhong, who stole Xichuan in the Ming Dynasty, are all orthodox countries, how sad and contemptible it is.

It can be seen that the Hongguang monarchs and ministers who only want to steal half of the wall, what they hate most in their hearts is not the Qing Dynasty that was established behind the Ming Dynasty, nor is it Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who started from the Liukou and stole the country in the homeland of the Ming Dynasty.

However, their suggestions are not entirely unreasonable.

After all, for the current Hongguang regime and the Great Qing Kingdom, their biggest and most vicious enemy is indeed Li Xiao, who was killed that day!

If this person is not removed for a day, not only is it rare for Hongguang monarchs and ministers to be safe, but even the Qing Dynasty will not be able to sit down for a day.

Besides, such a useless person, even if he joins forces with himself and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to defeat Li Xiao, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on for long, and when the time comes, such a decadent and incompetent country full of contradictions will only be a Chinese meal on the plate of the Qing Dynasty in the end......

Thinking of this, Dolgon despised the so-called Hongguang Prison Kingdom in his heart, but a faint smile appeared on his face.

What Xiang Zhan said is really reasonable. Our country has always helped the needy, and it has no reason to sit idly by and watch its friends in danger and not save them. But if the country makes a move, it does not know what benefits it will gain in the future. Dorgon didn't smile.

Hmph, in this world, there is no white help, even if they have common interests and goals, they have to give enough price. If you want to learn from Shen Baoxu and cry Qin Ting, you can get help for free, and this king is not so stupid.

As if he had already guessed that Dolgon would ask like this, Xiang Yu replied with a sneer: "This benefit, this dynasty will naturally give it, and it will definitely satisfy the Qing Dynasty, so why should the regent worry about it." As long as Li Xiao can be eliminated at that time, and this big trouble of my Ming henchmen can be eliminated, Hugh will not be a problem if he talks about money and wealth, even if he splits the soil and sends it away. ”

Dolgon waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about the matter of ripping the soil, it's just that I sent troops to the Qing Dynasty on an expedition, but this money, food and property must not be missing, this is the prerequisite for my Qing Dynasty to send troops, and I must not shirk the blame." ”

"As long as the Qing Dynasty is willing to send troops, this matter of money and food will be wrapped up in my Daming." Xiang Yu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied: "Please also ask the regent to make a quick decision, send troops as soon as possible, sweep away Li Xiao, and share the pressure for our dynasty." ”

"Well, this is a matter that the king will think about carefully. However, this matter is very important, and it is better to wait for my Qing monarchs and ministers to discuss it before making a decision? Dorgon replied with a smile, his words soft, but with a majesty that could not be refuted.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu was slightly disappointed on his face, but he didn't dare to say more, so he could only retreat first. However, as soon as he stepped out of the hall, the entire Chongzheng Hall was suddenly full of words and discussions.

Dorgon looked around at his ministers, and although he had made up his mind, he had to pretend to be inquiring on the surface.

He coughed lightly, and then asked loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the envoys of the Ming Kingdom have come to our country to ask for an alliance to fight against Li Xiao. What do you think about this matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
