Chapter 108: The Second Meeting of the White Mountain

It's just that Zhang Xuan knows that this is impossible.

Zhang Xuan sighed lightly and said, "Let's go." ”

Immediately, Zhang Xuan also retreated to the camp of the Xia army.

The generals were relieved to see Zhang Xuan returning, and Cao Zongyu also asked curiously: "How is this Fulin child?" ”

Zhang Xuan thought for a while and said: "Fulin Xiao'er, he is also a hero, it's just that his luck is not good, if Fulin is in his twenties now, today's Northern Expedition will not be so smooth." ”

"Your Majesty, why bother to increase the morale of others, destroy your own prestige, and pretend that Your Majesty has been operating for ten years, this Northern Expedition has already swept away thousands of armies." He Hutou said.

Zhang Xuan listened, smiled faintly, and said, "This is also true." ”

It's just that Zhang Xuan has a trace of worry in his heart.

His concern is age.

I have to say that this time the Northern Expedition was successful, although there was not only the suppression of national strength, but also the gap of the withering of famous generals of the Qing army. It can be said that almost all the generals who followed the old slave withered, and the generals of the Huang Taiji era were no longer there.

Duoduo, Dolgon, Azig, these three people, if one survives, it will bring huge trouble to Zhang Xuan. Just one Zilharang let the Xia army stay under Luoyang City, how long to stop the army.

If the city of Beijing is defended by any of these three people, or in other words, the battle of Jiahe, the battle of Liaodong, and the battle of Chengdu, among these battles, the lord will be any one of these three people, and the victory will not come so smoothly.

Although some don't want to admit it, there are really some people in history who can prosper the world if they gain one person, and they can die if they lose one person. Although Dolgon is not qualified, he is the anchor of the Qing court.

Zhang Xuan relied on the situation of the Qing court's generals to break the Qing court, but these people who followed him to fight the world are not young.

Zhang Xuan himself is in his thirties. Cao Zongyu is in his forties. Li Dingguo and Zhang Xuan are of the same age, Zheng Chenggong is a little younger, but Zhang Xuan does not dare to expect Zheng Chenggong at all.

Even one day, Zhang Xuan felt that if he walked in front of Zheng Chenggong, he would definitely kill Zheng Chenggong first.

As for Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Yuan Shizhong, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Xu Du, etc., most of these generals are like this.

But Shunzhi is only a teenager now.

is a generation behind Zhang Xuan.

Now, in such a situation, it is possible to regroup. When he gets old in the future, will Zhang An be able to deal with Shunzhi?

Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Since this is the case, let's get rid of this scourge first, so that An'er doesn't worry." ”

Although this battle has been fought so far, Daxia can't be fought anymore, but Zhang Xuan has already begun to brew in his heart, the second Northern Expedition, the third Northern Expedition.

Ming Chengzu was in his sixties and was still with the Northern Expedition. Zhang Xuan didn't dare to do anything.

It's just that Zhang Xuan is like this

thinks, but he has a vague premonition in his heart, I'm afraid that in his life, he won't catch Shunzhi.

Zhang Xuan was thinking about Shunzhi.

Shunzhi is also thinking about Zhang Xuan.

"Your Majesty." Nikan, Bolo greeted him and said.

Shunzhi said: "I have nothing to do. ”

Nikan couldn't help but ask, "How is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?" ”

Shunzhi said: "It is a beautiful man, who seems to be a bit feminine, but he is very heroic." ”

Bolo said, "Your Majesty, that's too much. ”

Shunzhi said: "The situation in the world is like this, can we not face up to our opponents? Zhang Xuan is a great hero who is not born in the world, and with him for a day, I will not peep into the Central Plains for a day in the Qing Dynasty. ”

"But what if he's a hero? Can you survive God? ”

"I'm twenty years younger than him. I can survive him, from now on, I will take care of my body every day, practice the horse diligently, and twenty years later, after Zhang Xuan's death, I will see the Southern Dynasty again. ”

"I am the king of the Qing Dynasty, and I can't be the lord of the country, but the king of the Central Plains is like a bird in a cage, how can I withstand the wind and frost."

"Even though I can't defeat the Southern Dynasty in my life, one day, my children and grandchildren will defeat the Southern Dynasty."

"I swear here that I will not stand with the Southern Dynasty, and this revenge will be avenged even for a hundred generations."

Shunzhi's words made the two princes of the Qing Dynasty very moved for a while, and said: "The slave believes that my Daqing will one day set foot on the Central Plains." ”

Shunzhi turned over and got on his horse, pulled the reins, looked at the banner of Great Xia from a distance, his eyes seemed to pass through the infinite space, saw the city of Beijing, and secretly said in his heart: "I will come back." ”

Although he thought so, he also knew in his heart that he would not be able to go back in this life.

"Let's go, go back to Datong."

Shunzhi returned to Datong City with cavalry, and at this moment in Datong City, it was almost possible to walk, becoming an empty city.

The orderly retreat of the Qing army almost swept the people of Datong to the ground.

After all, on the grassland, there is nothing, and it has to be done by manpower.

The area around Guihua City is a land that can be cultivated on the grassland, which is also the reason why the Qing army did not choose other places, but chose Guihua City.

The people of Datong can naturally enrich the population of the naturalized city.

What's more, now that the Mongols are the majority in the Qing court, they have surpassed the Manchus, and even in terms of maintaining balance, Shunzhi is willing to bring in more Han people.

Belong all the Han people to the Eight Banners, or belong to the Han Army Banner, or simply become the clothed minions of the Eight Banners. Enriching manpower.

"Rebuild twenty-four flags on the grassland, no, it should be thirty-two flags." Shunzhi secretly said in his heart: "Full Eight Banners, Han Eight Banners, Mongolian Eight Banners, Back Eight Banners." ”

The Gansu generation is still in the hands of Wu Sangui.

This area has never been the focus of the Qing Dynasty

point, barren almost birds don't. But now Shunzhi has no room for choice.

It's all meat in the bowl.

The reason why Shunzhi wanted to reorganize the Eight Banners was to rectify military affairs. After all, all the way there was a retreat and a retreat, and the establishment of all parties had long been chaotic.

If he doesn't rectify it, he, the emperor, won't know how many soldiers there are under his command.

As for whether Wu Sangui is integrated into the Qing court system, this matter must be carefully considered.

Shunzhi was thinking about it, but saw that many old and weak were pressed out by the soldiers.

He raised his eyebrows and said, "What's going on?" ”

The soldier immediately saluted and said, "Your Majesty, these people cannot be taken away, and they have been ordered to be executed on the spot." ”

Shunzhi swept his eyes, but he saw clearly that these Hanmin old and small, it was impossible to take them on the road, and even if they were taken away, it would be useless to go to the grassland.

For the Eight Banners, entering the customs and looting is a familiar way, and there are certain rules for what to do, and now it is only ten years since the last time Dongyu entered the customs and plundered.

None of them have forgotten these habits.

For example, what to do with those who are useless? What should I do with the people who can't take them away? One word, kill.

Shunzhi's heart moved, and he said secretly: "Retribution? ”

Shunzhi is indeed a believer in Buddhism, and he doesn't seem to care about anything Zhang Xuan says, but different words are spoken in different mouths, and the influence is different.

Speaking from ordinary people, Shunzhi didn't even listen to it, but when it came out of Zhang Xuan's mouth, Shunzhi couldn't help but think about it again and again, and secretly said in his heart: "This dynasty has been in the customs for a few years, and it was driven out, could it be that my dynasty has killed too much and is not benevolent enough." ”

As soon as this thought penetrated into Shunzhi's heart, he couldn't pull it out anyway, and he said, "No need, let them go." ”

Let them go? The order made the soldiers hesitate. Doesn't seem to understand.

If they hadn't heard what His Majesty had said, they would have wondered what was going on?

Tuhai said: "Don't you listen to Your Majesty's orders? The Xia army is coming, and these old and weak diseases are left over to them, isn't it just to consume their grain and grass. ”

"It's been a year of fighting, and the Xia army doesn't have much food and grass, maybe they want us to kill them so that they can save food for them."

As soon as Tuhai's explanation came out.

The generals below suddenly realized and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Seeing this, Shunzhi sighed lightly in his heart, and he didn't mean to explain. In many cases, I can't explain it, as long as I do it below.

Immediately the order spread throughout the city, and more than 10,000 of the old, the weak, the sick and the sick remained. Shunzhi withdrew from Datong City with the last Qing army.

Not long after the Qing army withdrew from Datong City, Gao Yuanjue took his headquarters and arrived at Datong City. It's just that when he saw Datong City, it was already unrecognizable.
