Sheng Jing, a scholar of the Qing Academy of National History, Ganglin angrily took Sha Erhuda into Beiling - they were supposed to go to Shengjing to take up their posts, but they met He Luohui not far from Jinzhou, this guy said that Shengjing had fallen, and suggested that they go to Liaoyang to try their luck, and then ran away. The two had to turn to Liaoyang, but Liaoyang was even more strange, the city actually played a three-color green dragon flag, which end is this, the original magistrate is gone, a few Manchurian old men in charge of affairs proudly declared, Liaodong only listens to the orders of the Prince of Jin, if there is anything to ask the Prince of Jin to talk to, anyway, they do not recognize the Beijing court.

Ganglin was dizzy, and he must reason with Li Yu, and the group rushed to Shengjing, Chang Shu and Busai happened to be in the city, and ordered the Manchurian volunteers to seize the weapons of their guards, and then took them to Beiling.

"Erlu, Taizu and Taizong treat you well, but you trespass into Liaodong and occupy the mausoleum, so despicable and shameless!" Ganglin yelled when he saw Li Yu at the gate of Beiling.

Li Yu ignored Ganglin, strode up to Shaerhada and said with a smile: "Brother Shaerhuda, I haven't seen each other for twenty years, are you okay?" ”

"It's a little bad in Ningguta, but it's not a big deal, and at least I can do it for another ten years." Sha'er Huda is a well-known honest man in the Eight Banners, he has always been quiet and buried in work, and the drudgery of garrisoning Ningguta and sending troops to Heilongjiang almost fell on his head, and he stayed in the bitter cold place for a long time, and he couldn't stand the water, soil, and weather in the pass, and followed Duoduo to Nanjing and was allowed to return to Beijing to recuperate.

A handsome young man flashed out from behind Sha Erhuda and saluted Li Yu and said, "Uncle Erlu, do you remember me, I'm Bahai!" ”

"I remember, you used to play with Bolo with Hadari, and you grew into an adult in a blink of an eye," the young man is the boss of the Sha'er Huda family, this child loves to read, is polite to people, and has been liked since he was a child, Li Yu pulled Bahai in surprise, touched himself for a while, and turned to Mozhige to ask for a clairvoyant, "Bahai, uncle didn't expect to see you here, this clairvoyance is a meeting gift." ”

"Thank you, uncle!" Bahai took the clairvoyant and happily put it into his arms, and wanted to salute Li Yu again.

Li Yu waved his hand, turned his face and asked Ganglin coldly: "I am the righteous son of Emperor Taizong, the prince of Qinfeng, I have a share of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, I can come to Liaodong if I want to, and the mausoleum should be worshipped, what are you doing here?" ”

Ganglin was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to get angry at Li Yu, and he held back for a while before saying: "I, I was ordered by the court to worship the first emperor, and I went to cry in front of the mausoleum, right?" ”

"I have already cried and sacrificed for you, what are you crying about, what are you sacrificing, the death of the first emperor is not clear, you refuse to track down the culprit, after the death of the first emperor, you abandon the place where your ancestors are buried, and the first emperor is not subject to the sacrifice of your disloyal ministers." Li Yu replied confidently, Sha Erhuda almost laughed, Dolgon desperately fought for Huaxia Zhengshuo, but he didn't want to be robbed of the Qing Dynasty's Zhengshuo, what is this!

This is so familiar, it seems that I have said something similar to the Nanjing envoy, Gang Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted: "Ma Shaoyu must be in Datong, you hide the fugitives of the Great Qing Dynasty and do not admit it." ”

"Not only Ma Shaoyu, I, Busai and Zhai Sangu are all fugitives from the Great Qing Kingdom, what do you dare to do to us?" Chang Shu laughed on the side.

Everyone entered the side hall, Gang Lin refused to take a seat, pointed to Chang Shu and said loudly: "Our two countries once agreed in Datong not to offend each other, but you have rebelled and provoked wars and poisoned the people, and now you have robbed Liaodong, are you not afraid of being punished by heaven?" ”

"You closed the Luquan City and slaughtered our merchants, and you broke the contract first, and it was you who were punished by God."

"Nonsense, it's clear that your profiteers are to blame, and it is natural for me to punish the lawless."

Busai was impatient, pointed at Ganglin and shouted viciously: "You deserve to be beaten for taking the evil path with the Han people, and if you have the ability, you will fight back!" ”

"You guys, you're so shameless!" Ganglin was so angry that he trembled.

"You are just a slave of the king of Adalee, and you betrayed your master in order to seek glory and wealth, so you are shameless!"

Ganglin was annoyed and angry when his shortcomings were exposed, and he rolled up his sleeves to fight with Busai, Li Yu waved his hand, stared at Ganglin and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't need to scare the rats." ”

"The armistice between the two countries, you withdraw from Liaodong, my Qing Dynasty officially issued an edict to recognize you as the Prince of Jin, Shandong, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang will be jointly managed by our two countries in the future, and the west of the Laoha River will also belong to you, this is always fair!" Ganglin thought for a moment, and spat out the words that Dorgon had told him before leaving.

Li Yu sneered and shook his head: "I want you to hand over Dolgon, return to Liaodong to implement the autonomy of the Eight Banners, and get a good end for such a big disaster, this is also very fair!" ”

"Erlu, I'm going to sue you in front of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the First Emperor, you raised a vicious wolf, and I will clear the danger!" Ganglin couldn't hold back any longer, and ran out the door crying.

Sha Erhuda was silent all the time, and then asked Li Yu in a low voice, "What are you going to do with the Great Qing Kingdom?" ”

"I haven't thought about it, the fate of the Great Qing Kingdom is still left to Zhu Shen for discussion," Li Yu shook his head and stood up, waved his hand and said loudly, "Zhu Shen is hardworking, brave, and tenacious, but he is always cold and hungry, which shows that there is a problem with our previous way of living, and the road to enter the customs will not work, so we will not only lose our hometown in Liaodong, but will eventually bury our clansmen in the pass, Liaodong is our ancestral home, we must not give up, I don't believe that this land cannot support 200,000 Zhushen." ”

"The Manchu people of Datong have discussed, Liaodong has fertile land and abundant products, not only can feed Zhushen but should also become richer and richer, but we must change our way of living and grit our teeth and work hard, and making a living by looting is not a long-term plan after all." Chang Shu added.

"Money is not an issue, the Datong Federation fully supports Liaodong, where there is everything coal, iron, timber, sea salt, and there is a lot to be done to develop industry and commerce, and it can also build water conservancy, improve farming, and increase grain ......production," Busai continued.

"I don't understand what you scholars say, but I think it's reasonable, Zhu Shen will freeze to death and starve to death if he stays in Liaodong, and he will die when he enters the customs to fight, more than 20 years, the population is still around 200,000, and the uncle said that the life in the pass is better, forcing everyone to settle down in the pass, but our population will eventually be wiped out by the Han people, and it is time to change the way of living," Shaer Huda waved his hand to interrupt Busai's words, and continued to Li Yu, "Based on Liaodong, we must solve the problem of Mongolia, Korea and the northern savage tribes, has the Prince of Jin thought about what to do?" ”

"The Mongolian problem has been resolved, North Korea may still have to fight, but it is not difficult to deal with them, my headache is Huerha and Varkha in the north, uncle, are you willing to help me?" Li Yu replied.

"Prince Jin, tell me the truth, will you go back to Datong or stay in Liaodong in the future?"

"If the sufferings of the people of Liaodong are not solved for a day, I will not leave Liaodong for a day."

Sha Erhuda laughed, pointed to Ba Hai beside him and said, "Prince Jin is willing to stay in Liaodong, and our father and son will not leave." ”

"Uncle, thank you, I immediately ordered the establishment of the Ningguta Admiral's Mansion, and the money, food, weapons, and soldiers are all wrapped up in me, you can do it boldly!"

"Okay, the old man is trying to cross the Waixing'an Mountains in his lifetime, and the Rakshasa ghost was driven across Heilongjiang by your 'evil killing order', and by the way, he cleaned it up." After Sharhuda finished speaking, everyone laughed loudly.

"Sha'er Huda, if you dare to rebel, the uncle can't spare you!" Ganglin ran to cry Ling, but was driven out by a group of old Manchurians, and came back angrily to reason, just in time to hear the last few words.

"You're just a dog from Dolgon, I've put up with you for a long time, get out, I'll chop you up if you dare to be verbose." Shar Huda shouted angrily as he held his knife.

Ganglin was startled, glanced at the people who were glaring at each other, turned his head and ran.

At the end of November, Li Yu braved the snow to arrive at Lushun, where three improvised wharves had been built, soldiers were carrying bags of grain from ships docking, and hundreds of large and small ships were waiting to enter the harbor. The tricolor flying tiger flag gradually approached from a distance, and some people exclaimed, "The president is coming," and people stopped what they were doing and rushed to their leaders.

"President, his subordinates raised 100,000 stone of grain from Taiwan, and the two East India Companies of the Netherlands and England also donated 30,000 stone of grain, and a total of 130,000 stone of white rice was all shipped." Shen Tingyang, ambassador of the Datong Federation to Batavia, proudly reported.

"Brother Ji Ming, well done, I want to ask the House for credit for you," Li Yu hugged Shen Tingyang, and then waved his hand and shouted to the Mongols and Manchus behind him, "Folks, we have 130,000 stone white rice, and Liaodong can have a good year!" ”

"Long live the Federation, long live Prince Jin!" The villagers couldn't suppress their joy and ran to the dock with cheers.

Li Taro pulled Kogoro and squeezed in front of Li Yu: "President, Kogoro is loyal to the Federation, and he has made great contributions this time, and the last general begs you to give him the surname Li." ”

Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry a little, the Japanese were racking their brains to talk to him with his surname Li, the Li family was almost overcrowded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Xiao Goro, you can be surnamed Li, but there are already several people called Li Wulang, you are a brave samurai, so you will be called Li Yongwu in the future." ”

A pariah without a surname is given a name by the president of the world's most powerful country, what an honor, Kogoro fell to his knees and cried silently, Li Yu smiled and pulled him up, and said loudly to the soldiers in front of him: "Most of you are not yet federal citizens, but you are willing to shed blood and sacrifice for freedom, and prove that you are worthy of citizenship with your actions, the federation thanks you, Liaodong thanks you, and I also thank you, I announce in the name of the federal president that the soldiers who participated in the Lushun War are granted Datong federal citizenship if they are not citizens." , which includes the families of the war dead. ”

When Li Taro translated Li Yu's words, the soldiers were so excited that they burst into tears, and the cries of "Long live the Federation and Long live the President" resounded throughout the earth.

Li Yu quietly left the crowd, walked into the handsome tent surrounded by the generals, and as soon as he sat down, he lowered his face and said to Sun Fuhu: "Fort Arthur is burned, and none of the prisoners are left, you did a good job, the North Koreans seem to be a little impatient, several times to cross the border to provoke, you and Subutai go to teach them a lesson." ”

Sun Fuhu was a little unconvinced: "This is a war, what can I do, don't worry about North Korea, it's just an inferior dog raised by the Ming Kingdom, the owner is gone, and cleaning them up is as easy as stepping on ants." ”

Sha Erhuda also followed Li Yu to Lushun, and reminded on the side: "It's not so simple, our ancestors have been slaved in Korea, the ancestor Meng's brother Timur was humiliated and led the tribe to flee from North Korea to the Ming Kingdom, since then the Koreans have held a grudge, every time the Ming Kingdom kills Zhu Shen, they are willing to act as accomplices, the Ming court thinks that the Koreans are loyal, but we understand that they regard us as fugitive slaves and want to get rid of them quickly, this is a self-righteous wolf like the Ming court, Emperor Taizong sent troops to recruit several times, But they surrender on the surface but always look down on us in their hearts, and now that Liaodong is empty, they definitely want to profit from the chaos. ”

"The Koreans look down on you, but they are certainly afraid of us Mongols, and my iron cavalry will teach them to be obedient." Subutai patted his chest and said.

"You have to be ruthless, you must beat them to their hearts," Sha Erhuda nodded, and then said to Li Yu, "President, now that there is food, and the three thousand elite iron cavalry drawn from various towns and the Manchurian Volunteer Army have also gathered at Zhenbei Pass, I plan to immediately rush to lead my troops to Ningguta." ”

Li Yu hesitated: "It's too cold now, and the road is not easy to walk, so let's talk about it when the spring is warm." ”

"Time waits for no one, the Huerha, Varkha and the savage tribes of Heilongjiang must be pacified as soon as possible, it's not me boasting, as soon as I show up in Ningguta, they don't dare to have different intentions," Sha Erhuda shook his head, got up and pulled his son Bahai and said to Li Yu, "President, it is not easy to completely solve the northern border troubles, it may take decades of effort, I want Bahai to stay, this kid is good at studying, riding and archery is also good, and he may be able to take over my class after a few years of training by your side." ”

After Li Yu pondered for a moment, he asked Bahai to sit next to Hadari, and then stood up and said loudly to the generals: "The Ming court got a few animal skins that cheated money, and they did what kind of slaves to do the Dusi and Wusi Zangdusi, thinking that they were expanding the territory and were complacent, bullshit is not worth it, my federation is not a Han dynasty, and there is no capital to cheat and brag, and to eliminate border troubles and protect the frontier is to work hard and hard in a down-to-earth manner." ”

"Admiral Shahrhuda, I agree with you to send troops immediately." Li Yu strode in front of Sha'er Huda, and generals such as Sun Fuhu, Subutai, Hadari, Liu Tichun, Du Hongguo, and Li Talang immediately stood up and saluted Sha'Hada with Li Yu.

Sha Erhuda rushed to Zhenbei Pass with food three days later, and began a long career in the border until he died of illness more than ten years later, when the northern border of the Federation had advanced to the north of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, Bahai then took over his father's class and continued to march north, planting the tricolor black eagle flag all the way to the ice sea, and also crossed the strait to reach the American continent.

Li Yu didn't think so far at this time, Liaodong grain can be stabilized, but the army must be cleared before going south, in December, Subutai led the sixth town of cavalry across the Yalu River into North Korea, at the same time, Sun Fuhu, Du Hongguo's department also took the sea route into the mouth of the Han River - along the way of the Korean family suddenly suffered a catastrophe, the Datong army not only killed their people, but also encouraged the common people to divide their land and property, the Korean official army is almost a copy of the Ming army, no combat power but bold, but also take advantage of the chaos to loot the government, rich households, this trend is becoming more and more intenseThe Daedong Army fanned the flames all the way, ruthlessly destroyed the old forces, and slaughtered the capital of North Korea - Hanyang City with the smell of blood.

The Korean lord was so frightened that he immediately presented a letter of surrender, but the Daedong army refused to accept the surrender, but forced the other party's envoys to sign the "Free Trade Agreement" on the condition of retreating, and in order to ensure the performance of the treaty, the North Korea also entrusted the two ports of Incheon and Busan to the Daedong Chamber of Commerce to operate - the Korean lord easily passed the customs and accepted the agreement happily, but he did not expect that North Korea would undergo earth-shaking changes because of this, and gradually moved from a failed country that blindly followed the Han dynasty to civilization.

The Korean War ended in just over a month, and the Taedong Army immediately entered a rest, and the situation in Kannai was also changing dramatically.

In order to ensure Jiangning (the Qing court issued an edict to establish Jiangnan Province, Tianfu was changed to Jiangning Mansion, and Nanjing was renamed Jiangning), in Wuhu and Ningguo, 150,000 green battalion soldiers were assembled layer by layer, and the Datong army was not strong enough to attack, after the winter, He Chilie led the new cavalry eighth town from Tibet to Chizhou, the old marshal Du Wenhuan had enough iron cavalry in his hands, and transferred Qin Hu's Buqi Town and You Renjun's Bu Eighteen Town to Jiangnan, and suddenly launched a winter offensive with 100,000 troops in nine towns, captured Ningguofu City in one fell swoop and killed the defender Yongshou. Duoduo did not hesitate to transfer the two green battalions of Gao Jinku and Wu Zhaosheng from Zhejiang to Wuhu, and the two towns of Ren Shouzhong and Li Guoying of the Datong Army immediately came to join the main force of the old commander - both sides withdrew their troops from Zhejiang, and it seemed that intentionally or unintentionally created conditions for Fan Erxi and Zhang Cunren to engage in conspiracy.

The Datong army got the new force and immediately concentrated its forces to attack Fanchang, the Qing army was not afraid to fight with all its might, the two sides had been fighting against each other for more than a year, and the red eyes fought fiercely for more than a month, the Qing army Tian Xiong and Ma Degong were defeated, the 20,000 old foundations left by the old Shangguan Huang Degong were almost lost, and the Datong army also lost more than 10,000 yuan, and the deputy town commander Wang Guangen of the 12th town of Bu, Wu Ruyi, the assistant commander of the 14th town of Bu, and other officers were killed.

The Qing army contracted the front to concentrate heavy troops in Wuhu, and it was difficult to succeed in a hard fight, and the old marshal ordered to retreat to Digang, and transferred the five towns of Hechilie, Qin Hu, You Renjun, Li Guoying, and Ma Xianglin to the Jiangbei battlefield, and at the same time ordered Lin Feiyu to lead the naval army to tightly block the Yangtze River and prevent the Qing troops on both sides of the Yangtze River from responding to each other.

Zhang Ding of Jiangbei received a great boost from the reinforcements, and led the cavalry of the three towns and the eight towns to sweep through Luzhou and Fengyang, compressing the Qing army to the capital of Luzhou, and then mobilizing thirty eighteen-pounder guns of three artillery brigades to continue to bombard the city wall. At the beginning of the first month, the city of Luzhou was continuously bombarded with several sections of the city wall, the guard general Zhang Tianlu knew that the city was not guarded, and led the troops to retreat to Chuzhou, but just out of the city dozens of miles was intercepted by the iron cavalry of Hechilie, the infantry of the Datong Army quickly arrived to surround more than 50,000 green battalion regiments, and repeatedly strangled with iron cavalry and guns, Zhang Tianlu only led more than 3,000 people to break out of the encirclement, and his brother Zhang Tianfu and tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers died on the battlefield.
