On the same day that Yang Qingdong's house was flowered.

Beijing.

In the biting cold wind, a carriage carrying the road fell slowly out of Fuchengmen, and the Eight Banners athletes guarding the door looked indifferently at the hard corpses in the car, and there was no wave in their hearts......

I'm used to it.

Even if these are actually flag people.

The inner city is inhabited by banner people, but even the banner people can't eat enough! In fact, many banner people regretted moving south, after all, in their memory, Shenyang was not so difficult, of course, but in their memory, at this time, there was a carload of harder dead bodies being transported out of Shenyang City every day. But the banner people here don't know this, they only remember that there were Jin merchants to replenish food, and those stupid Ming officials prepared food at their fingertips for them, and then they only needed to fight and move to Shenyang to make themselves easily survive the winter.

But there's nothing here!

Although the tax package system solved the crisis of the gentry abandoning Dolgon, it also made the annual tax become a fixed amount, and the powerful people in various places did not need to care about anything else as long as they paid enough shares.

Not enough has nothing to do with them either.

That's all they have to offer, and if they hand it in, they're fulfilling their obligations.

Dolgon is not enough?

What does that have to do with those heroes?

Do you want them to make more contacts?

Just kidding, which Haoqiang does not raise his own militia private army now, and controls the city fortress where he is the emperor of the soil? If you really want to say it, the equipment of the Eight Banners Divine Army may not be able to catch up with these Haoqiang, after all, Haoqiang is still very willing to spend money in protecting his privileges. If you dare to break the rules, then it's better to scatter in two, especially if you are close to the front line, you can summon the evil dragon in the south at any time, and then our Daqing will face the danger of dispersing again.

So Dorgon had nothing to do.

And the bannermen who entered the customs regarded themselves as conquerors and did not want to work, and even if they had been allocated land, they did not want to cultivate.

They all have land.

Shuntianfu was swept away by Li Zicheng, leaving a large amount of land for Dolgon's Eight Banners enclosure.

But even sheep are herded, and they don't grow them.

In the past, there were slaves in the northeast, and the Han Chinese who were captured by them, that is, the Hanikans, who were called Ahanikans, were responsible for farming, and there were also Korean slaves who were captured. But in these years, because of the need for war, a large number of Ahanikan were transferred to the Eight Banners, the Han Army and the Korean ......

The coating and the ahanikan are not the same.

The former were armed domestic slaves.

The Eight Banners have a large number of coatings and collars.

The latter is a pure slave, and the official name is Baoyi Ahab, because the vast majority of them are Han Chinese, so they are also called Ahanikan.

In the last few wars, the Qing army was a loser, and there were no new slaves to replenish, in fact, there were also flights, in short, more and more bannermen lost the slaves they used for farming. When Li Zicheng evacuated, he captured the vast majority of the people in this area, even if he couldn't recruit tenants, and the banner people themselves didn't want to farm, the result was that the entire Shuntianfu was barren and degraded into pastures.

But the amount of food that can be provided by the ranch and the amount of food that can be provided by farming are not on the same level!

The vast majority of banner men still have to rely on military salaries.

But Dorgon's annual military salary is not only to support 200,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, but also to ensure that he does not lag too far behind, and the tax revenue is simply not enough. In the final analysis, there is only one modern Hebei and Beijing-Tianjin, plus a small piece of Henan and Shandong, even if it is looted, how much can be looted?

What's more, I don't dare to search hard.

If we really want to create the next wave of rebellion, it will be over.

And the area of Zelu, which nominally belongs to our Qing Dynasty, is the fief of Jiang Xuan, the king of Pingxi, and will not hand over a grain of grain to Dolgon, in fact, he often reaches out to Dolgon. If he didn't give it, he openly let those who had escaped from Tianjing Pass go south, and even frantically raised human traffickers, who were responsible for abducting the relatives of the Eight Banners athletes in various ways, and he was responsible for reselling them to Wu Guogui, who was stationed in Weihui. Even Dai Shan's grandson, Prince Kang, a good friend of Lord Wei, was abducted in Beijing two months ago and his whereabouts are unknown, of course, Prince Kang was only five years old at this time, and his uncle Man Dahai personally wrote to Jiang Jiu, and the offer of five thousand taels of silver was not found.

Of course, it's no wonder that this kind of thing can be found!

Jiang Hao really wanted to find out for him, but he couldn't start, maybe he would have been sold early, but Jiangnan was like this tune by many wealthy families with strange aesthetics, but it was difficult to raise a small guy by the slave release order, and in the end he could only go outside to find a way.

And Xuanda is the pasture of the Mongols.

In the same way, the Mongols would not have handed over a sheep to Dolgon.

In fact, they also reached out to Dolgon, after all, they had 20,000 cavalry fighting for our Qing Dynasty on the southern front, and Dolgon had to give them an extra part of food every year, saying that the nomads were also short of food. Although the area around Xuanda is rich in water and grass, because of the severe cold of the Mongolian Plateau, a large number of Mongolian herdsmen have moved south to this area for nomadic herding.

Poor Dolgon......

"It's the end of the mountain!"

Gu Junen sat on the horse, gloating at the carriage passing by him, looking at the scrawny corpse on the carriage.

"What for?"

The petty officer guarding the door shouted.

"Visiting friends!"

Gu Junen said with a smile.

"Come down and search!"

Said the junior officer.

At the same time, together with his subordinates behind him, he looked at Gu Junen's fur fur with satisfied eyes, and the four attendants behind him were also leading a few camels, and there were obviously a lot of good things on the camels' backs. If this guy has a background, of course, it is not easy to move him, but if he is an ordinary businessman, or if he does not have a sufficient background, then it is indispensable that the Admiral Yamen of the Nine Gates will have another fat sheep to be slaughtered.

In other words, this is their main means of making extra money.

Gu Junen calmly dismounted, and walked in front of the Eight Banners Athlete with open arms.

The latter began to search his body with suspicion.

However, the four entourages did not dismount, and several other Eight Banner athletes watched with anticrisy, and the little officer searched Gu Junen's body with both hands, and soon took out a letter from his arms, this guy is literate, he glanced at the envelope, and his face changed instantly......

"Thief and spy, take it!"

He exclaimed.

The envelope was impressively carrying the seven words of Li Zicheng, the king of Qin of the Ming Dynasty.

Those Eight Banners athletes moved forward in confusion.

Gu Junen looked at them with a smile, and then said to the little officer, "Don't you want to see who it's for?" ”

The petty officer hurriedly bowed his head.

The words to Dorgon immediately appeared in front of him, and he was stupid at once.

"Why don't you hurry up and prepare to welcome you with drum music, this is how you treat the envoy of King Qin? I don't know any politeness, how does Dorgon teach you on weekdays? Believe it or not, I'll go back and let King Qin change to an army of 100,000 to come and talk to you? ”

Gu Junen shouted arrogantly.

……

An hour later.

"Mr. Gu has worked hard from afar!"

Dolgon stood in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace and said to Gu Junen with a smile on his face.

He does feel a bit of a pie in the sky.

During this time, he did hear that Li Zicheng refused to recognize the empress of Nanjing, and was ready to send troops to escort King Ding to the south to seek justice for Zhu Cihong, and Ming Qin came to the brink of war, but Li Zicheng actually took the initiative to send a messenger to contact him, which still made him feel an irrepressible excitement.

I never dreamed of it!

To tell the truth, if Li Zicheng really unites with him, he will not hesitate to let him call Li Zicheng the eldest brother.

"Regent, Gu took the liberty to come and ask the regent to forgive me!"

Gu Junen said with a smile.

"Mr. Gu is polite, please!"

Dorgon said with a polite corporal posture.

Immediately after the two walked into the Qianqing Palace hand in hand, Ning Wan I, Chen Mingxia, Liu Yuyou, Hong Chengchou, Li Jiantai, Li Huaxi and other ministers followed in, and for a time the Qianqing Palace once again gathered to welcome the arrival of Li Zicheng's envoy. Although the previous ruler of the city was Li Zicheng, this is all in the past, there is no need to mention the old things, everything has to look forward. All that had been before was only a small wave in the long history of this weather-beaten city, just as it had opened its doors to welcome the king and Dorgon, and it had opened its doors to welcome the king's messenger.

"Regent, Yang Qing abolished the dragon for no reason, regarded the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty as waste paper, and openly inherited the throne as a princess, and his wolf ambition was clearly revealed, the king of Qin was favored by the first emperor, and he had the responsibility of the imperial family, and he must not tolerate Yang Qing usurping the Ming Dynasty."

Gu Junen said impassionedly.

Well, it's a bit of a three-way view.

Li Zicheng, who once drove Chongzhen out of Beijing and almost destroyed the Ming Dynasty, is now incarnated as a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and in order to protect Chongzhen's son, he resolutely stepped forward at this time when thousands of horses were together......

Full of disobedience!

However, the sages in the Qianqing Palace all had solemn expressions on their faces.

"Mr. Gu, the Ming and Qing dynasties were brothers, and the king had already negotiated with the Son of Heaven Longxing before, and the Qing Dynasty respected the Ming Dynasty as a brother, and it was good to follow the example of Song Liao to form an alliance forever, but it was a pity that it was blocked by traitors, not only did the people of the world lose the opportunity to enjoy peace together, but also the Son of Heaven of Longxing was harmed by traitors. This is the fault of this king, this king is duty-bound, if the king of Qin intends to hoe the Ming Dynasty, this king will raise the army of the country, with the deputy king of Qin to make the son of Longxing re-ascend to the treasure! ”

Dorgon said in awe.

"I'm here for this!"

Gu Junen arched his hand and said.

At this time, Yang was against the trend, and the king of Qin was afraid that it would be difficult to support alone, so he invited the heroes of the world, but Zhang Xianzhong was a miser, and the king of Gui was also weak, but the regent could be called a hero, if the regent was willing to help this time, the king of Qin was willing to give 100,000 stones of grain first.

These grains are in Taiyuan.

When you return, the Lord Regent can send someone to collect it!

In addition, when the Qing soldiers and horses went south, if there was a shortage of military supplies, it can be clearly said that although I Guanzhong is not a rich place, but there is still food, this time it is a traitor for the country, and the people of Guanzhong will do their best to repay the favor of the emperor. However, in order to facilitate transportation, it is best to start after February with the intention of the king of Qin, once the war starts, the king of Qin leads a large army out of Luoyang, sticking to the tiger prison, and Mengjin at the same time goes straight to Guide and Fengyang, cutting off the rear of the defenders of Zhengzhou. It is estimated that when the Yellow River thaws, you and I can join Henan, and then use the grain of Guanzhong and the transportation of Yingwu Ershui, and the 500,000 troops of the Qin-Qing coalition army will be in the Huai River. ”

Gu Junen said with great ambition.

"But after the beginning of spring, the Ming army's unimpeded water transportation may be more difficult to deal with."

Hong Chengchou said.

The others nodded.

At this time, everyone understands that as long as the Yellow River and the canal are not frozen, as long as the Ming army does not leave the river, it is almost invincible, and the most important thing for the Ming army to win is to choose when the river is frozen and the water transportation is cut off.

Otherwise, just wait to face the iron fist of Jiangnan's industrial scale!

"We'll deal with them!"

Gu Junen said somewhat self-consciously.

"Regent, we will block the reinforcements and logistics of the Ming army for the regent, even if the Yellow River thaws, we will not put a battalion of the Ming army and a boatload of supplies to Zhengzhou, and your army is responsible for attacking the city. With the hundreds of thousands of troops of your army on the Yellow River, it is easy to annihilate those two armies, as long as we open this nail stuck in our middle, our food will continue to flow out of Luoyang. And we have already negotiated with Zhang Xianzhong, he will help with the grain of Sichuan, and the only thing your army lacks is food, but if the Yellow River freezes, we will not be able to transport much even if we have grain! ”

He continued.

This is also true.

Dorgon was short of food, and all the difficulties in front of him boiled down to these two words, and nothing was in vain without food.

Li Zicheng has food.

Although Guanzhong was still not self-sufficient at this time, he had enough reserves, and he hoarded more than 2 million stone of grain in the rebuilt Luoyang warehouses alone, which was the result of his frenzied purchase of 15 million yuan last year. These grains were hoarded in Luoyang, and then transported to Chang'an through manpower through the Kunhan Road to Shaanzhou and the Weihe River, even if the current warehouses in Luoyang alone were enough to maintain a wave of offensive.

But to transport grain from Luoyang to the south and ensure that an army of 500,000 people enters the Huai River, it will also have to rely on water transportation.

He could give food to Dorgon.

But the premise is to open Zhengzhou and Huaiqing and Wei Hui in the middle, this special salient has been stuck there for six whole years, and if the cavalry army on the north bank is not solved, as well as the infantry Sixth Army currently stationed on the south bank, it is impossible for Dolgon to obtain Luoyang's cantonment. Similarly, Li Zicheng is not able to rely only on land transportation to supply 500,000 troops, and he must open Zhengzhou and solve the cavalry army on the north bank, so that the two of them can achieve the goal of combining 500,000 troops to sweep Henan and go straight to Fengyang.

And this goal is also the only condition that can force Yang Qing to negotiate peace.

Nor did they dare to hope any further.

Open the Ming army's Huai River defense line or something......

Well, you have to distinguish the difference between dreams and reality.

Dolgon exchanged glances with his ministers, especially Hong Chengchou, after all, he still knew what level the others were, and if he really wanted to talk about talent, he still had to be Hong Chengchou. And the latter nodded to him slightly, and Dolgon looked at Ning Wan again, although Ning Wan I was inferior to Hong Chengchou, but I was more loyal than Hong Chengchou, and Ning Wan I also nodded to him......

"Mr. Gu, please tell King Qin, I am willing to go all out for the Ming Dynasty!"

Dorgon said solemnly.

"After the matter is completed, everything will be based on the covenant made between the regent and the Son of Longxing, and the King of Qin is willing to non-aggression with the Qing Dynasty ether behavior realm, and will always be brothers!"

Gu Junen also said solemnly.

In this way, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu formed an alliance with the Liukou......

Uh, the world is crazy!
