Dolgon, who was riding on his horse, trembled with all the Manchu nobles, his face was as white as earth, and he could no longer grasp the telescope in his hand.

The exercise of the Atonement Army is too scary. The terrifying and sharp firearms spewed out tongues of fire and continuously strafed, and the woods and earthen walls that were the targets were not found at all after the exercise.

The woods were flooded with fire, and the earthen walls were in ruins. Dolgon thought to himself that with the walls of Shengjing, he could only hold out under this kind of artillery fire for an hour at most, or even an hour. As for the Daqing Iron Cavalry, uh, I still don't talk about it, it will be a shame to say it.

War is impossible. Fall? No drop?

Dolgon's heart was full of thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a group of nobles looking at him with a blank eye, and he couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.

"Old Fourteen, Jianwen Ancestor can say that he wants to restore the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty over the Nuer Gandu Division. If the Qing Dynasty does not surrender to the Ming Dynasty and is willing to be the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty, even if he wants to escape, where can he flee to? ”

Azig only felt that all the sighs of this life were running out on this day. Abatai nodded and agreed: "Jianwen Ancestor made Azig the leader of the Atonement Army, and after leading the army to recover Liaodi, he waved his army to the west, and rested after hitting Beihai. Even if the Qing Dynasty was unwilling to surrender, it would not be able to escape far or long. ”

Azig smiled bitterly and said, "Old Fourteen, you can't escape. Lao Zu has ordered the Liukou Li Zicheng in the territory of the Ming Dynasty to reorganize the army of 100,000 people, and is leaving the border of the Ming Dynasty to attack westward along the Silk Road. According to the meaning of the ancestor, Li Zicheng wanted to be like Genghis Khan back then, fight to Europa, and turn the entire land of Europa into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In this world, in addition to the Ming Dynasty in the future, the ancestors are not allowed to have a second country name. Of all the people in the world, there are only two kinds of people left, one is the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the slave of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The immortal foundation of the Ming Dynasty, with the presence of Jianwen Ancestor, no one can shake it. ”

"Brother Fourteen, if not, let's come down."

Duoduo's pale face gradually became a trace of blood: "There are twelve brothers who have been appreciated by the ancestor of Jianwen, and after we surrender to the Ming Dynasty, we can still become the people of the Ming Dynasty."

If it is for the precursor of the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty to expand the territory, and lay the foundation of immortality, perhaps, we can also get the method of immortality given by the ancestor of Jianwen, and our three brothers can stay together for a lifetime and share the prosperity of the world, which is also a beautiful thing. ”

When the nobles heard Dorgon's words, they nodded their heads and persuaded Dolgon. This is really a crime of non-war, the Ming Dynasty is too majestic, the Qing Dynasty plus Mongolia plus the weak chicken-like North Korea, is not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty at all, or surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, save his life and talk about other things.

Dolgon looked bitterly at the fearful and eager faces, and finally sighed and nodded heavily at Azig. Azig and Abatai's hearts were relieved, they were both from the Qing Dynasty, they were both full of people, and they could turn hostility into jade silk, and it was the best ending to meet each other without fighting.

Seven days later, the Ming court received a letter from Dolgon, requesting to abolish the name of the Qing Dynasty, go to Shengjing to restore the old name of Shenyang, and ask the Ming court to send officials to take over the whole of Liao and Korea. He also asked the Ming court to send generals at all levels to reorganize the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners Army, and was willing to lead the army as the forerunner to open up territory and expand territory for the Ming Dynasty.

After Chongzhen received the surrender letter, tears of joy fascinated his eyes. After three generations of the Ming Dynasty, the disaster of building slaves finally disappeared on this day. It's a pity that the Jianwen ancestor at this time went to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land to teach the princess Zhu Yujiao and the descendants of those royal families with excellent qualifications.

Liu Lishun, the speaker of the Political Affairs Council, after receiving the holy decree of Chongzhen, recruited nearly 100 civil officials, and went to Shenyang under the escort of Lu Xiangguan, who moved the station to Shenyang, and hundreds of staff officers at all levels sent by Qin Liangyu, to take over all parts of Liao, divide administrative regions, and rebuild the Ming official office.

Although he did not receive the reward of the Ming Jianwen Ancestor, it made Dolgon a little unhappy. But the reward of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was more satisfactory to Dolgon.

Chongzhen was very happy about Dolgon's courtier, and gave Dolgon as the king of the county, the king of Liaodong County, and Duoduo as the marquis of Jianzhou, and the Mongolian Horqin tribe Jisang Arzhai, that is, the father of Dolgon's wife as the Marquis of Mobei. The rest of them are full of nobles and have been rewarded.

The complete recovery of Liaodi allowed Chongzhen to speed up his control of the provinces south of the Yangtze River. Hong Chengchou, who had just arrived in Yingtianfu, had just set up the telegraph line when he received the will from the emperor in the capital, and when he ordered Wu Sangui to control Yingtianfu, Yangzhou Mansion and other important towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

The commanders Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong saw that the imperial court was powerful, and under the persuasion of Ma Shiying in Nanjing, they gave up the confrontation with the imperial court and led the army to join Hong Chengchou's command.

With the army of three general soldiers, Hong Chengchou has increased his efforts to control Jiangnan. The new policies and regulations of the imperial court were issued, taxes were collected from various places, basic education was popularized, Donglin party members and scholars who spread rumors were arrested, and gentry and wealthy merchants from all over the country who resisted the imperial decrees were arrested.

All of a sudden, the people in the entire Jiangnan area were panicked. However, under the strong suppression of the new army and the three general soldiers of the imperial court, all kinds of resistance of the Donglin party and the gentry class became a joke.

After a period of panic, the people at the bottom were surprised to find that the new policy of the imperial court may be a huge blow to the gentry, but for them like the small people, the surprise came too suddenly.

It turned out that the imperial court had always been concerned about the people, but those gentry and bureaucrats had always concealed the good of the imperial court from them. robbed many of the interests that should have belonged to them and the small people, but gave the notoriety and black cauldron to the court and the emperor to carry it.

The people of Jiangnan, who understood the truth, changed their attitudes and supported Hong Chengchou's rectification of Jiangnan, which made Hong Chengchou's actions faster and more vigorous. Countless gentry in Jiangnan were imprisoned and their homes were raided, and Yangzhou became a sad place for salt merchants, and it was no longer a place to make a fortune.

It is precisely because of this that Hong Chengchou, who did not get the nickname of "Hong Copyist" and "Hong Black Heart" in Jiangnan. It's just that the people in Jiangnan now call Hong Chengchou Hong Qingtian.

Even Hong Chengchou's family members in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, have heard this nickname. Hong Chengchou's elderly mother asked the servants to send a letter to Hong Chengchou, asking him not to worry about his family, but to serve the emperor and the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly, and solve problems for the people.

Hong Chengchou, who received the letter from home, couldn't help but feel sad, thinking of the elderly mother who he hadn't seen for several years, although the domestic servant who came to deliver the letter informed the old lady of the news of her health, but still let Hong Chengchou feel at ease.

It just so happened that at this time, Zhu Yunwen came out of the cave dzi, and his divine sense swept to Jiangnan, seeing Hong Chengchou's sadness. With a slight groan in his heart, he popped out a pill and sent it to Hong Chengchou's hand, saying:

"Your performance over the years has made Poor Dao very satisfied, this elixir is given to Ling Tang, which can restore Ling Tang's youth, prolong his life a little, and be free from illness. This is your reward for your contribution to Daming over the years.

In addition, your movements in Jiangnan can be faster. The land of Liao is now fully restored, and Dolgon has submitted to the letter, and was given the title of king of Liaodong by the emperor. After you handle the affairs of Jiangnan, I will ask the emperor to also give the foreign surname Wang. ”

Hong Chengchou was ecstatic in his heart, and suddenly knelt down to the sky and bowed: "Thank you for the gift of the ancestors, Yan Yan will live up to the court and the high hopes of the ancestors in this life." ”

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see Zhu Yunwen's echo, and I knew that the ancestor had stopped paying attention to this place. Hong Chengchou bowed to the sky twice, then got up, carefully found a jade bottle, packed the pill, and found a brocade box, put the jade bottle in and sealed it. Only then did he call in the pro-soldiers and arrange a team of pro-soldiers to escort the brocade box back to his hometown.

With the promise of Jianwen Laozu, Hong Chengchou let go of his courage and nationalized the land, collected the gentry and commercial taxes, distributed the landless people to cultivate, built schools at all levels, established local courts, and severely punished local officials for corruption.

In such a year, the entire Jiangnan line took on a new look, and the imperial court decree reached the entire Jiangnan.

At the same time, Ma Xianglin, who had returned to Sichuan, together with Li Banghua and Gong Yonggu, members of the Political Council sent by the emperor in Beijing, also accelerated the work of reforming the land and returning the provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.

Those who disobeyed were killed or captured and sent to prison to build roads. In areas where the living environment is poor, people are moved out of the plains and land is allocated to rebuild villages.

For a long time, the entire Ming Dynasty has been vigorously carrying out various reforms and building various infrastructures.
