In Juzhou in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the flowers bloom. In the valley and fields, a piece of green, countless cattle, sheep and horses are comfortably eating spring grass, on the bank of the river, there are tents one after another, at first glance, as if they have come to the grassland outside the Saiwai.

In fact, Juzhou is located between Yanzhou and Qingzhou, and belongs to Qingzhou, and the cattle and sheep grazing between the mountains and fields are also the cattle and sheep of the Ming Dynasty, but now the owner has changed.

Since entering the customs last winter, the Mantar iron cavalry between Qi and Lu, has broken through the three prefectures, eighteen prefectures, sixty-seven counties, eighty-eight townships, Lu Wang Zhu Yipai, Leling County King Zhu Hongzhi, Yangxin County King Zhu Hongfu, Dongyuan County King Zhu Yiyuan, Anqiu County King, Ziyang County King and other princes and county kings were killed, captured more than 400,000 people, horses, cattle, mules, donkeys, sheep and livestock more than 300,000 heads.

In March, the troops were divided to attack Dengzhou, Laizhou and Haizhou, and the various roads of Mantar returned, and converged in Juzhou. Since the Manchu Tartars entered the army in winter, they have been fighting for several months, and they have long been sleepy and tired. It was the arrival of spring, the climate was warm, and the spring grass was green, and the Manchu chief Dolgon ordered him to rest on the spot for a month to recover his strength and return to the outside of the border.

More than 100,000 Mantars rested and put their horses on the spot, and regarded Daming as a no-man's land.

The city of Juzhou has long been conquered, and hundreds of thousands of captives have been imprisoned in the state city, and most of the Manchu Tartars do not want to stay in the city, but choose to stay in the wilderness, and the big tent of the Manchu chief Dolgon is on the high ground outside the city.

In the tent, the Dorgon and Dordo brothers and a group of Tartar generals were drinking. Entering the customs for several months, attacking the city and plundering the land, such as entering the land of no one, the Ming army is hundreds of thousands, but no one dares to come to a battle, only know that the turtle retreats in the city to defend, which makes the Tartar generals full of ambition, rest and camp in Juzhou, and even the sentry cavalry is not released.

"This attack on the Ming Dynasty has robbed so many people of property and population, thanks to your wise command, please allow the minions to toast the prince!" A white-flagged Meler raised his glass and shouted at Dolgon, immediately eliciting echo from the other Manchu generals.

Dorgon laughed, raised his glass and drank it all, his eyes swept around, only to see Haug sitting on the side and sneering.

In this raid, the puppet Qing Emperor Huang Taiji sent almost all of his elite men, led by Dolgon, the prince of Rui, but he was not worried that so many troops were in the hands of one person, but sent his eldest son Haoge as a deputy to assist Dolgon.

"Haoge nephew, why don't you drink?" Dorgon smiled at Hauge.

As the eldest son of Emperor Taiji and the self-proclaimed first heir to the throne, Hauge has long been wary of the powerful Dorgon brothers, and often secretly parted with them.

Listening to Dolgon's question, Hauge sneered, "It's not that my nephew doesn't drink, but he suddenly remembered something and forgot to raise his glass. ”

"Oh, I wonder what my nephew remembers?" Dolgon asked with an unchanged smile, and when the uncle and nephew spoke, the big tent suddenly fell silent, and the generals looked at the uncle and nephew in disbelief.

"My nephew suddenly remembered Uncle Niulu in your banner Ezhen Abule, thinking that Abule was also one of my warriors in Manchuria, but I didn't expect to die at the hands of the Ming people, uncle, tell me how many years I have not been established in the Qing Dynasty to die a Niulu warrior?" Hauge looked sad about Aboul's death, but the corners of his mouth hid a mocking smile.

The smile on Dolgon's face suddenly disappeared, and he clenched his glass and stared at Haug coldly. Abouler is the bull who only belongs to him with a white flag, and Hauge is clearly slapping him in the face when he says this.

......

In Tongzhou City, the largest mansion has been requisitioned as the governor Zhou Yanru's line.

In the middle of the line, the sound of silk and bamboo, melodious and pleasant, a group of civil and military people gathered together, and they were drinking.

Today is a good day for Zhou Yanru, a scholar and supervisor of Shoufu University, and it is the day for him to collect the righteous son.

Bai Tengjiao, the chief soldier of Jixian County, knelt on the ground and offered a glass of water and wine to his father-in-law with respect. As a martial artist, being able to worship as a godson under the door of the head of the dynasty is a blessing that can only be cultivated in eight lifetimes.

After the ceremony of receiving the child, the martial arts in the hall raised their glasses to congratulate Zhou Yanru, Zhou Yanru laughed, and the comer was not afraid to drink more than ten cups in a row, and soon became drunk and was helped down by the attendants to rest.

The highest official left, the generals in the hall were no longer restrained, the atmosphere suddenly became stronger, the sound of guessing fists sounded one after another, the sound of drinking and laughing and scolding was endless, and the arrogant person grabbed the waiting maid and began to grope up and down, and the whole scene was a mess.

A staff member of the Governor's Mansion hurriedly walked up to the lobby, looked at the scene in the hall and couldn't help frowning, and after asking the servants who were waiting, he hurried to the back hall to find the drunken Inspector Zhou Yanru.

"The overseer can't afford to get drunk, and no idle people are allowed to disturb him." The house that guards the door will raise its eyebrows and block it from anyone who comes.

"Get out of the way, I have a decree from the imperial court, and I must see the Inspector immediately!" Someone shouted loudly.

"Is it Mr. Yokoyama? Come on in! Zhou Yanru's voice came from inside the house.

Wang Yin pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Zhou Yanru sitting at the table leisurely drinking tea, how could he ever be a little drunk?

"Dong Weng, the imperial court has sent another order, urging you to send troops quickly!" Wang Yin put away the different colors on his face and respectfully handed a scroll to Zhou Yanru.

"Leave it there," Zhou Yanru motioned to put the scroll on the shore, stretched out his hand to invite a drink, "I just brewed the Ming Qian Longjing tea, Mr. Hengshan might as well taste it." ”

Wang Yin picked up the teacup and sniffed it slightly, praised the good tea, then took a sip, put down the teacup, and then asked again, "Dong Weng, I don't know how we should reply to the imperial court." ”

"The soldiers and horses are uneven, and the Tartars are too big to fight, so let's reply like this." Zhou Yanru said lightly.

"But we have gathered 150,000 troops in Tongzhou City!"

"So what, how can you fight the Mantars without five times the number of troops? Let's wait, wait until Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, Tang Tong, the general of Miyun, and other generals have arrived! Zhou Yanru said expressionlessly.

Wang Yin sighed secretly, and when he was about to retire, Zhou Yanru spoke again, "Mr. Hengshan has been working hard to help me deal with military aircraft these days, so many people and horses, everyone needs you to worry about eating and chewing, tomorrow's deputy general He Yongsheng worships me as his father-in-law, Mr. might as well take a day off for a while, how about coming to the banquet?" ”

Wang Yin hurriedly shook his head and said: "As a subordinate, it's better not to participate in this kind of occasion, and besides, you can't leave the army for a moment." ”

"It's okay, the things in the curtain are hard sir, by the way, then Chen Yue, the Xishan soldier has arrived?" Zhou Yanru asked suddenly.

"Xishan Bingbeidao?" Wang Yin thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It hasn't come!" ”
