Xu Xinsu never thought that one day he would sit down and chat and eat with Dolgon so face-to-face, but he sold 100,000 female slaves from the northeast, many of whom were Manchurian. As a pirate, he didn't have the concept of a country and a nation in his heart before, but in recent years, he has a little concept of a country and a nation. The idea of the primacy of profit led him to have a good conversation with Dolgon and the others.

"Lord Wang, I don't want much for 500,000 taels of silver dollars, these cargo ships are not mine, they are the Royal Shipping Company, I have to reward them all over here, and in the end, there is only a little left in my hands." Xu Xinsu said frankly.

"I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is also one of the shareholders of the Royal Shipping Company, and he will be willing to charter a ship to us and let us travel east to the Americas?" Dorgon asked.

"There are hundreds of cargo ships in the Royal Sea Company, and it is impossible for His Majesty to know what every ship is doing every day. As long as there is money to be made, a large number of people in the Royal Shipping Company are willing to do it. Xu Xinsu said.

As soon as Xu Xinsu finished speaking, he said: "For now, only the Royal Shipping Company has the ability to send you to the Americas, in this sea area, there are not only the Ming navy, but also the Ming anti-smuggling ships. ”

Dolgon smiled, seeming to approve of Xu Xinsu's words, "How did you pay the money?" ”

"Pay half first, gold, silver, silver dollars, treasure money, and even antiques can be, after all, everyone is doing this with their heads, if the Ming court knows, but they have to lose their heads." Xu Xinsu said.

"Yes, we'll pay half upfront. When will the ship arrive? Dorgon asked.

"The ship is only twenty miles away from here, and as soon as the money arrives, we can get on the boat tonight, and we can go back and forth in about ten to fifteen days." Xu Xinsu said.

"It takes so long." Bomu Bogol couldn't help but say.

"It can't be helped, it's not for me to decide." Xu Xinsu said with a smile.

"Yes, we'll go all the way north along the coast, and we'll probably be in this place in ten days, and you'll come here to pick us up then." Dorgon said.

"I'll send a boat to keep in touch with you, and I won't delay your time, but if you go further north, the time for a round trip will be shortened, and if you can get here, we can go back and forth in five days, but it's only open in the summer. And until September, the money will have to be paid in full, and the ports in this sea will be frozen, and we will not be able to send you to the Americas. Xu Xinsu said.

"Okay, we'll hurry up, if the sea freezes, I will never blame you for this." Dorgon said.

"It's a pleasure to work with the prince." Xu Xinsu said with a smile.

……

After reaching an agreement with Xu Xinsu, the three departments began to arrange the first batch of 30,000 people who crossed to the east.

"Ben Butai, this is a long way to the Americas, the future is uncertain, although I have reached an agreement with Xu Xinsu, but this person is a mercenary trafficker, we Manchu don't know how many women have been destroyed in his hands, but now he is the only way out for my Manchu Qing, I have to rely on him, I have an arrow here, which was given to me by Khan Ama back then, if you arrive in the Americas safely, let Xu Xinsu bring this arrow back, I will know that you are safe." Dorgon whispered.

"Won't the prince come with us?" Benbuthai asked.

"I have to stay behind, only then can we evacuate more people and get to the Americas where we can gain a foothold." Dorgon said.

"I'm waiting for the prince in America." Benbutai nodded decisively. Ben Butai is a famous Empress Xiaozhuang Wen in history, and she knows the seriousness of the matter. It's just that in this time and space, she didn't have time to give birth to Fulin, Huang Taiji was beheaded by Zhu Youxiao, and without Fulin, Mu Butai married Dolgon without any scruples.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely go to the Americas to meet you." Dorgon held Mubutai and said affectionately.

……

The speed of the three divisions was very fast, and three days later, the ship with 30,000 men left Asia for the Americas.

At this time, the Ming army of the Northern Expedition had just experienced its first war since entering the Manchu territory.

"How do I feel that this Northern Expedition is like...... It seems to be ......," Xiong said calmly.

"It's like a punch on cotton, and the strength doesn't come up." Man Gui said.

"It is this feeling that since the army was dispatched, we have finally encountered an army, but this army is still only 5,000 people, even if there are only 5,000 people, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled." Xiong Anwen said.

"There's definitely a conspiracy in this." Man Gui said.

"Is it a ploy to lure the enemy?" Xiong asked suspiciously.

"Possibly, there is always nothing wrong with proceeding cautiously without figuring out the enemy's intentions." Man Gui said.

"No." Xiong nodded steadily.

"From today onwards, the number of scouts will be doubled, and we must pay more attention to the enemy's sneak attack on our army's food and grass." Man Gui thought for a while and said.

"My lord, I think we can leave a thousand soldiers and a cadre of civilians to build a wooden city here, Your Majesty has asked us to build ten wooden cities, and we can leave people to build wooden cities while advancing, so as to ensure the safety of our army's logistics supply lines." Xiong Anwen suggested.

"Yes, when we go to Weiqing City, we only need to build two wooden cities to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Man Gui nodded.

……

Dorgon has always adhered to a strategy of attacking and harassing. Since the first battle between the two sides, Dolgon has broken up his army and constantly harassed the Ming army, so that the Ming army can only advance about fifteen kilometers a day. When the Ming army arrived at Weiqingcheng, Weiqingcheng was already an empty city.

"What the hell is Dorgon doing?" Man Gui's heart was full of doubts.

"According to the spies, the men and horses of the three divisions have been retreating north along the coast. And Dolgon has been sending troops to attack us incessantly, apparently to cover the retreat of the three divisions to the north. Xiong said calmly.

"It can't be delayed any longer, once autumn and the climate becomes colder, our army will not be able to move an inch." Man Gui said.

"My lord, I am willing to personally lead 20,000 dragoons to pursue at full speed." Xiong Anwen said.

"Dolgon is treacherous, and I am most worried that Dolgon is ambushed in the middle of the road." Man Gui thought for a while and said.

"But if it continues like this, our army's Northern Expedition will be in vain." Xiong An said anxiously.

Man Gui said: "It's too dangerous, if you chase at full speed, you can't carry artillery, and once you fall into an ambush, you can only be beaten passively." ”

"Ten thousand, I will lead an army of ten thousand to pursue, even if there is danger, it will not hurt the root of the army." Xiong Anwen pleaded.

Man Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, I will give you 10,000 dragoons, but not for you to pursue the enemy army, but to clear the enemy troops attacking the army on the road, and you can't be too far away from the army." ”
