Like Liaodong, the weather in Jingshi also turned cold, and the sky fell with colorful snow, covering the streets and alleys with pale.

It is said that Ruixue is a good year, but for the victims hiding in the city god temple in groups, this day is not easy to endure, here, people are like a nest of rats crowded together, not to the early morning, the outermost circle is always frozen to death a lot, the winter is cold, and the Jiucheng Terracotta Division, who is not very afraid of the epidemic, has also become a lot lazy, and does not go to clean up the corpses, and the frozen corpses are like garbage in the corner of the street to a large pile.

Accustomed to seeing corpses, the residents of Kyoshi were also so numb that they turned a blind eye to the death around them, and even the children were still scattering joy around the frozen corpses.

This kind of winter, Chongzhen has also experienced a lot, after all, his father Guangzong Zhu Changluo is not loved by Emperor Wanli, Chongzhen who lived in the palace when he was a child did not even have a stove to warm his hands, and his hands and feet were often frozen in winter.

But this winter, the chilling feeling of the year seems to have returned, and more than a dozen stoves on the platform are burning, but he still can't stop shivering, making him tremble uncontrollably.

Wan Yuanji, the eunuch in charge of delivering the decree, Zhongyun Li Mingrui also shivered coldly, knelt in front of him.

"On the ninth day of September, Mao Wei succeeded to the throne in Shenyang, and established the Command, the Governor's Government, Fenwen Meng, Panghai, Liu Chong and more than a dozen other ministers were the Governors of the Command, and the rebel ministers Song Xiance, Fan Wenju, Shen Rui, and ......, as well as the rebel minister Zhou Yanru and other ministers of the Governor's Government, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Honglu, the Minister of Industry, and the Minister of Households."

"In Dongjiang, the minister ......, and the minister also met the former governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, and the traitor Hong Chengchou also led his troops to Mao Chengchou, and now he was appointed by Mao Cheng as the governor of Jinzhou Town to form the Jinzhou Corps."

One by one, Chongzhen didn't keep the familiar names, but Chu Caijin ran to Mao Jue's hands, especially what stimulated him was Zhou Yanru, an old guy who had a cheeky shoehorn in the past, and Hong Chengchou Sun Chuanting was different, he was a minister! Prime Minister, even officials at this level abandoned Daming and took Mao Liao, doesn't it mean that Daming is really exhausted and has no future?

His shoulders trembled to the extreme, Chongzhen stood up with great anger, reached out and hit the porcelain vase on the table, and roared like thunder.

"Rebels and thieves! A bunch of thieves!"

"That Mao Jue is so rebellious, you even gave him the Great Seal of the King of Liao and made him king! Are you going to rebel too? ”

This amount of energy is really not a personal master, as soon as he turned around, Chongzhen was even angry with the two heralds, looking at his master's red eyes, Wan Yuan Ji was frightened and suddenly slammed his head on the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

Next to him, Li Mingrui was also trembling, but he had to hold up a bright yellow burden with both hands.

"Your Majesty, the Great Seal of the King of Liao was not handed over to Mao Yi, Weichen brought it back!"

Chongzhen's face finally showed a little relief and relief, but Li Mingrui's next sentence was like a hammer hitting his head, making his brain buzz.

"Mao Wei has the heirloom jade seal from Jiannu in his hand, and he orders Liaodong with this seal!"

It was really a moment when there was no blood on his face, Chongzhen sat directly on the dragon chair, looking at this scene, Wan Yuan Ji almost didn't cry, and kept kowtowing there.

"The old slave also argued with reason, saying that this Indian non-human minister can have, let Mao Shun dedicate it to His Majesty, but that Mao rebel was stubborn, and after ascending the throne, he immediately drove the ministers out of Shenyang City, Your Majesty, the old slave really tried his best......"

Kowtowing, the two ministers were sadly distinguishing, but Chongzhen couldn't listen to a word of their words, his eyes were blank, and he kept looking at the sky.

For more than 280 years in the Ming Dynasty, he has not returned the jade seal of the country from the grassland, but he Mao Jue has only risen for two generations, and the jade seal of the country has been under control.

…………

It is rare that after experiencing the summons of the platform, Li Mingrui and Wan Yuan Ji retreated, and they went back one by one, and this matter seems to be over. But although Chongzhen ordered the sealing, the news that the jade seal of the country and Zhou Yanru threw themselves into the Dongjiang River still spread in the court, and the Jingshi once again made the city full of turmoil.

A few days later, in Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Dongjiang's Neiying Lu Zhong was worried, Dingbei Marquis Mao Wenlong, Mrs. Chen Jiao, and Mao Jue's eldest son Mao Xingjian were summoned to the palace together, but fortunately it was a false alarm, Chongzhen personally summoned him on the platform, and did not say anything serious about the current situation, just praised Mao Wenlong, praised him for teaching his son well, and pacified the troubled Jiannu for the imperial court, and raised Mao Wenlong's title from Dingbei Marquis to Zhao Guogong, the crown prince Taibao, Chen Jiao also changed from the original shabby Zhengsanpin to the lady of Liao, Mao Xingjian, who was only a few years old, added brocade clothes to thousands of households, and gave the jade card to walk in the palace, and ordered to be the prince's companion.

After a series of snub confrontations, Chongzhen finally relented, and turned containment and intimidation to co-optation, but unfortunately, compared to the Liao throne, these are just icing on the cake, and it is unknown how much effect it can really play.

At the same time as the easing of the conflagration, it was eight hundred miles to expedite three holy decrees from the Beijing Division, one to Liaodong, one to Huguang Zuo Liangyu, and the last to Zhongzhou Henan, which had become a fierce battlefield at this time.

…………

Henan Yanshi, Qin army barrier.

Colorful snow fell from the sky, the newly cast cannons were poured a piece of white frost, resisting the bayonet bird guns modeled on the Dongjiang River, one by one the Qin troops were also shivering from the cold, the trembling hands in the patrol shrunk into the sleeves and shrunk their necks, the Qin army who had no task shrank in the tent to warm up, not wanting to come out at all, the entire camp was dead silent in the snowy night.

But just a few hundred meters in front of this big camp, half of the corpses buried in the snow were all over the mountains, and the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle were already frozen to the point that their eyes were dry and their cheeks were blue.

I have to admit that Yuan Chonghuan's handsome talent is above Sun Chuanting, in history, Sun Chuanting at this time was already defeated in Jiaxian County and died in Shanhaiguan, and in this time and space, the Qin army at this time was still firmly on the front line of the Yellow River.

Yuan Chonghuan adopted a completely different tactic from Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting was forced by Chongzhen, had to make a desperate bet, after sending a letter to Guguan, he went directly to Yiyang Ruzhou to run to Kaifeng to march, and fought a decisive battle with the main force of the army ten times faster than himself, was surrounded in Jiaxian, and was defeated and died, but Yuan Chonghuan saw the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and now it is no longer the era when tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are chasing hundreds of thousands of peasant troops running all over the mountains, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the decisive battle with Li Zicheng is rash, that is looking for death!

In the past two months, the Qin army has been fighting outside the circle, constantly launching attacks on the edge of the control of the army, first thwarting the army Xie Junyou's department in Yiyang, and then recaptured Luoyang to the north, and then to the east to lay down Mengxian, the important Yellow River crossing in their hands, relying on the danger of Heluo, to establish themselves in an invincible position.

His tactics are called small axe rafts and big trees, first in the periphery of the continuous attack, weaken Li Zicheng's army support, frustrate the morale of the army, little by little to eliminate the periphery of the army, the peasant army is after all a peasant army, the dispatch control is far less flexible than the official army, once a long time, it will inevitably change.

And even if Li Zicheng's million-strong army is attacking, Yuan Chonghuan is not afraid, with his back to Luoyang and using the Yellow River as a supply line, he can completely fight, preset the battlefield, and offset the enemy's military advantage with geographical advantages, but Mao Jue has always been good at it, and after staying in Dongjiang for so many years, Yuan Chonghuan has learned a lot.

In the past two months, the Yellow River began to freeze, and Yuan Chonghuan was not in a hurry to attack, on the one hand, he was stocking up military rations and materials for the big battalion, and on the other hand, he was still actively arranging scouts and planning the offensive for the coming year.

But when he and Zhang Ruolin, Bai Guangen and other generals surrounded the Chinese army, his personal lieutenant Liu Junyong was full of panic, rushed in in a hurry, and suddenly knelt on one knee.

"Overseer! The imperial envoys have arrived! Outside the Yuanmen, the messenger sent Wu Fu to lead the officers to receive the order outside the Yuanmen!"

The sudden holy decree made Yuan Chonghuan's heart thump suddenly......
