Only one day after the order, Hou Xuanyan and Zheng Zunqian went to Beiping with Zhejiang soldiers.

The farther north we went, the colder the weather became, and when we arrived in the Kisuke area, the snow was falling heavily for thousands of miles, and the entire calf was stuck in the snow when I stepped on it, and the speed of the soldiers' march was delayed again.

Hou Xuanyan simply led his troops to the Daimyo's mansion for repairs, and at this time, Shandong's soldiers and horses had been transported from Dengzhou to Tianjin Wei by ship one after another.

Li Haoxian dispatched troops, but arrived in Beiping earlier than Hou Xuanyan and joined Yan Yingyuan.

In Daming Mansion, there are red candles on the two rows of beast-faced lampposts in the Chinese army's tent. The Daimyo's Mansion is famous in history, and during the Song Dynasty, it once became one of the four capitals, 'Beijing', which is a majestic city of "thousands of dancing pavilions and songs, tens of thousands of Lin Palaces and Fanyu".

It's a pity that a flood in the third year of Jianwen buried the Daimyo's Mansion forever under the mud and sand.

Today's Daimyo Mansion is newly built next to the old site, and it has long lost its original castle heights, wide and deep trenches, majestic drum towers and prosperous characters.

Hou Xuanyan sat in the big tent, looking at the information sent from Beiping, the old opponent outside the gate knew from the day he withdrew that there would be a decisive battle sooner or later.

A gust of wind blew in, and the cold poured into Hou Xuanyan's neck, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zheng Zunqian, who was dusting the snow on his shoulders.

Hou Xuanyan asked, "It's so late, haven't you slept yet?" ”

After Zheng Zunqian sat down, he said softly: "Xiaguan suddenly remembered something and came to discuss it with the prince. ”

"Oh? What's up. Hou Xuanyan put down the secret scroll in his hand and raised his eyes to look at his generals.

"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and we have so many people to conquer Liao, even if there is enough money and grain in the rear, it is difficult to transport it in this kind of heavy snow. This time it is no more than the past, we have no less than 80,000 soldiers in Zhejiang, no less than 200,000 soldiers and horses in Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Shaanxi and Gansu, and more than 100,000 horses in the Houtu camp in Beiping. Jingbei and Japan need money and grain, and if there is a problem with transportation, hundreds of thousands of people can't wait. Moreover, this year's snow is so thick that when the fierce battle is in full swing in the spring of next year, the snow will turn into muddy roads, and it will be impossible to transport grain. Zheng Zunqian rarely thought about it so carefully, he felt afraid for a while, and hurried to report to Hou Xuan.

Hou Xuanyan hooked his index finger, scraped his forehead, and said: "I originally pinned the matter of transporting baggage on the sea, but what you said also makes sense, we spread it too widely." ”

Zheng Zunqian nodded and said, "That's right. ”

The cold wind howled outside the tent, like the screaming of a wild beast, which upset Hou Xuanyan. He frowned and said, "Over the past year, I have been constantly transporting baggage to Yan Yingyuan and Xia Wanchun, and even agreed that they would levy local taxes. But now it still seems that it is not safe, we are in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and the Guanning Liao soldiers and Manchuria Jiannu who were born and grew up in Si, and this year it has snowed heavily, and we have no time. They still occupy Shanhaiguan, and we will lose the ground again. Once the supply of grain and grass is insufficient, we are afraid that the morale of the army will be disrupted and we will lose people, and even if the advantage is great, it will be difficult to win if these three points are lost. ”

A series of victories made Hou Xuanyan a little relaxed, and the conversation with Zheng Zunqian tonight was like a basin of cold water, which reminded him of his strategy for governing the army in the later stage of the Northern Expedition - safe.

Now it seems that the hidden danger is still there, if it is bulldozed by a wave of counteroffensive and repeats Fu Jian's old story, it will be laughable for eternity.

glanced up at Zheng Zunqian, who was the same as himself, frowning, obviously not having any ideas. Hou Xuanyan stood up, walked to the door of the tent, lifted the curtain, and the wind and snow were raging outside. The cold wind is like a knife, blowing on the face is a raw pain, Xiaoice River Yuwei is still there, this year's cold winter will not be inferior to previous years.

"So far, there is only one way for everyone in the world to participate in this battle." Hou Xuanyan said in a deep voice.

Zheng Zunqian, who was startled, jumped up from his chair and asked, "What does the prince mean?" ”

"After we completed our conquest of Liao, the benefits we obtained were not small, first of all, the wealth of the Central Plains plundered by the Manchu Tartars over the years, and secondly, the value of Liaodong itself. We can mobilize the merchants of the entire Ming Dynasty, as long as we complete our transportation task once, we can get a document stamped with the official seal, and after the victory of the Liao conquest in the future, we can exchange enough benefits with the imperial court. After Hou Xuanyan finished speaking, he became more and more satisfied, and smiled at the corner of his eyebrows.

"Even if the strength is not enough, you can take it from Xuxian, Xuxiang, or by concentrating the strength of one clan."

Zheng Zunqian opened his mouth, stared, and said with a somewhat dull gaze: "Is this okay, will the people trust us to win?" ”

Hou Xuanyan put his hands behind his back, his eyes seemed to be smiling, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

He has enough self-confidence, and the credibility of today's court is not comparable to that of any other dynasty. Especially in Jiangnan, Hou Xuanyan's prestige has reached its peak, and his words are golden signboards, and there are bound to be countless powerful merchants or clans participating in this conquest of Liao.

Hou Xuanyan can already imagine the scene of the whole country transporting grain to help the war, so that his mother's dog Tartar will be drowned in the vast sea of the people.

------

Shenyang Zhongwei outside the Guan, that is, the Shengjing of Jiannu, the palace built by Huang Taiji is very majestic to be honest. There is a round Guo outside, there are four pagodas and temples in the four directions, there are eight radial avenues between the square city and the round Guo, and the whole city plane is like the shape of a wheel.

This pattern is designed according to the Taiji Bagua theory, that is, the central temple in the city is Taiji, the bell and drum tower is Liangyi, the four towers in the east, west, north and south are the four elephants, the eight city gates are the eight trigrams, the round outer city symbolizes the sky, and the square inner city symbolizes the earth.

This kind of city, without hundreds of literate traitors, cannot be built for a thousand years by Tartar alone.

At this time, the palace was tense, and Hauge and Azig, who also retained their strength, were still fighting for the title of regent. Both sides insist on their own words, and each other's minions also wave their flags and shout for their masters, and when they quarrel to the point of being terrible, they even add fists and feet.

Shunzhi sat on the dragon chair, no one took him seriously, watching the two princes in the palace fight, he, the Tartar emperor, didn't dare to say a word.

Fan Wencheng's face among the hundred officials was gloomy and ugly, the enemy is still fighting with each other, although the matter of secretly accumulating money and food has not been put down, but if there is no strong leader figure, how can the scattered Manchuria resist the hundreds of thousands of Northern Expeditionary troops in Shanhaiguan.

Twenty years ago, together with Huang Taiji, he transformed a group of barbarians who lived by fishing and hunting into a powerful force, and most of the rules of the pseudo-Qing came from him, and he was also regarded as the head of the civil ministers. In particular, Huang Taiji valued this traitor very much, and he participated in the decision-making of the strategy of invading the Ming Dynasty, plotting against the Ming Dynasty officials, attacking Korea, pacifying Mongolia, and the construction of the puppet Qing state system, and so on, and played a pivotal role.

Together, they developed the small Manchuria. Later, taking advantage of Li Zicheng's troubles in the Central Plains, he took the opportunity to enter the customs and almost let this dog thief successfully overthrow the Han Dynasty.

From Fan Wencheng's point of view, victory was close at hand, but it was ruthlessly broken.

Looking at the undisguised faces of Prince Su and Prince Ying, Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly, this battlefield is not something he can participate in. Now is not the era of Huang Taiji, after the Manchurians have passed the pass once, they have become more and more arrogant, and they don't take themselves as Hanchen in their eyes at all.

All this was seen by Xiaozhuang, who listened to the government, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, Fan Wencheng walked outside the palace with a lot of heart, and a small chamberlain came quietly, and whispered beside him: "Lord Fan, the Queen Mother is invited." ”

The eyelids at the corners of Fan Wencheng's eyes jumped, and he calculated in his heart, the energy in Xiaozhuang's hands is actually not small, although Xiao Fulin is young, but he is better than a young and powerful Haoge or Azig coming to power.

After all, Shunzhi is the emperor, and all the forces can survive, but when Haoge comes to power, then the old generals of the two white flags may have to be purged, and vice versa.

Xiaozhuang sent someone to find him, the purpose was very clear, it seems that this old woman was not willing to watch Haug and Azig eyeing her son's throne.

Fan Wencheng said in his heart, if he wants to reunite, neither Haoge nor Azig can ascend to the throne, and only Shunzhi is the emperor who needs it the most at the moment.

Of course, Fan Wencheng knew that with Hou Xuanyan's character, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated, he would definitely be unable to escape death. So no matter what it was for, he had to do his best to keep the small court of Manchurian Jiannu.

Almost without hesitation, Fan Wencheng immediately agreed, and followed the little chamberlain to the Yanqing Palace in the Shengjing Imperial Palace.

Xiaozhuang held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, chanting scriptures to a Buddha statue, Fan Wencheng bowed respectfully and said: "Meet the Queen Mother, I don't know what happened to recruit ministers?" ”

Xiaozhuang turned to look at him, his face was full of kindness, and he said softly: "Fan Bachelor and the former emperor are the ministers of the moment, and they are also confidants, the first emperor values you, uses you, and promotes you, and now his foundation is in danger of being destroyed, don't you have anything to say to the mourning family?" ”

When Fan Wencheng heard her mention Huang Taiji, a few tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and he sobbed: "The minister is a domestic slave, and he rashly interferes in the dispute over the owner of the flag, but I am afraid that he will be a powder in an instant and it will not help." ”

Pinching the Buddha beads, Xiaozhuang said: "No matter how big the hail falls, the people in the house will not be injured, if you have a good strategy Anbang, me and Fulin are your houses." ”

As soon as Fan Wencheng heard this, he said in his heart that this was clearly soliciting, and Xiaozhuang used Huang Taiji to awaken a trace of warmth in him, so he had no reason to refuse in public or private.

This dog thief is full of bad water, holding back and not daring to let go, once there is Xiaozhuang as a backstage, it is like a grandson monkey who has taken off the golden hoop. Hauge and Azig are opponents of this level, Fan Wencheng is confident that he can catch them.

Xiaozhuang waved his hand, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace retreated together, Fan Wencheng slowly climbed up to her, and said in a low voice: "When the regent was here, he killed Haoge's henchmen to the ground, Prince Su is in name only, and his strength is still a little worse than that of Prince Ying." We should start with Prince Ying first, and then get rid of Prince Su. ”

He was so far away from filial piety that he could smell the smell of the old demon woman, which was very disrespectful among the Han people, but after staying in Manchuria for a long time, Fan Wencheng also learned a little about the debauchery of others.

Xiaozhuang saw that this Fan Wencheng was really an understanding person, and he didn't hide it, and directly confided in his heart.

Who speaks first in this matter is a very important matter, Xiaozhuang will not dare to say about getting rid of the two princes first, but Fan Wencheng told himself unabashedly.

In this way, it can be regarded as Fan Wencheng who handed over a letter of submission, and since then he has been branded with the mark of filial piety.

"How can I get rid of Azig?" Hyo-zhuang asked through gritted teeth, his hatred for this Azig was even greater than that of Dorgon. Because Dolgon finally knows a little bit about saving face, but Azig is so arrogant that he thinks of himself as the queen mother.

Fan Wencheng grinned, one was missing between his teeth, it was Duoduo who robbed his wife and sent his subordinates to beat him up, which led to the current situation.

In Manchuria, even if it was a high-ranking official like Fan Wencheng, Duoduo robbed his wife to enter the mansion and play for seven days, and he had nothing to do. In the end, it was Huang Taiji who personally came forward to ask for it, and Duoduo didn't even lose a single hair.

Fan Wencheng, who had leaky teeth, said with a smile: "It's too simple, Azig has courage and no strategy, plus now that he feels that his strength is the strongest, he must be even more arrogant." But the foundation of this kind of person will not be too stable, and the generals of the two white flags may not really support him, but more afraid of being liquidated by him, so they are just coerced by him.

This kind of person can be easily deceived by us into the palace, arrange for people to cut him first and then play, and capture him in one fell swoop. As soon as Azig is captured, he can be assured that none of his subordinates will come forward for him. As long as the Queen Mother can appease the generals of the two white flags, there will be no trouble. ”

A suspicious look appeared on Xiaozhuang's face, and he asked suspiciously, "It's that simple?" ”

Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "Azig is very arrogant, rude, and unscrupulous. Just lie and let him enter the palace to be sealed, and he will definitely be able to attract him. When the time comes, the three brothers Dolgon, Dordor, and Azig will all die, and only you and Your Majesty, who can shelter their two white flags, will be their backers. We have more power in our hands, and we are afraid of Haoge, sooner or later, he will be the queen mother. ”

Xiaozhuang's face was cloudy, his palms were full of sweat, and a string of Buddhist beads was wet by her, Fan Wencheng's method was simple and rude, but it was very in line with Azig's consistent style.

"Queen Mother, it's not that the minister doesn't want to prepare to plan a meticulous hoeing action, but in fact there is no time. The news of Hou Xuanyan's appointment in Jinling has spread all over the world, and if the DPRK and China do not stop fighting, what will we do to stop Hou Xuanyan. Once defeated by them, what's the use of fighting around. ”

The string of threads in the middle of the Buddha beads was broken at once, and Xiaozhuang made up his mind, instead of watching the two groups of people quarrel in the court, it was better to simply not live, because once Hou Xuanyan came in, his methods would have spread all over the world.
