The Kong Domain's commander added a quota of 20,000 soldiers to the green battalion on the left and right wings of the domain, which was paid by the Tatar household department. However, like Wu Fan, Shang Fan, and Geng Fan, Kong Youde accepted a large number of surrendered troops, and the army had long been overstaffed, and Kong Youde himself found a way to solve the problem of food and salary.

When the three feudatories went south, Dolgon meant that the strongest Kong Youde took the fattest Guangdong, Shang Kexi took Guangxi, and Geng Zhongming took Fujian.

Shang Kexi was reluctant to go to Guangxi on the grounds that the feudal soldiers were thin. Kong Youde criticized Shang Kexi, recommended himself to Guangxi, and found himself an unlucky errand. Guangxi was too poor, the Ming army was too clean, although Kong Youde conquered Guilin for a year, his supply situation was far inferior to Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao in Guangdong, and the strength of Guangdong's two feudatories had the momentum of catching up.

Kong Youde paid Shen Yongzhong, the Duke of Xushun who occupied Hunan. Sun Kewang has tens of thousands of troops pressed in Xiangxi, and Shen Yongzhong is eager to scrape the ground to raise more soldiers, of course, he will not manage Kong Youde's request.

As a result, the troops of the Confucian Domain were generally short of pay, and some troops had been without pay for 10 months and without food for three months, and they all relied on robbery to make a living, and this situation showed no signs of improvement.

This was good news for the order, and the underfed army was fighting half-heartedly. Kong Fan puffed up his breath to defeat Nanning and drive out the emperor, but he was not too enthusiastic about continuing to attack the Qinlian region of Guangdong. The line De'an rested in Nanning, and there was no large-scale southward movement for the time being.

There is not much pressure in the Gaolei Theater for the time being, and the resources over there can be tilted towards Qinlian a little.

The main force of Hainan retreated to Leizhou to rest and recuperate in order to save food and wages, and whether or not it was put into the Qinlian Theater depended on whether Kong Youde was willing to fight for Guangdong in the face of Sun Kewang's threat in the north and lack of food and wages.

……

Shou ordered to stay in Lianzhou for half a month.

After He Huchen returned, he was relieved of his command position in an orderly manner and sent back to the Jonesy Infantry Academy to study.

On March 10, 1651, the weather was clear and the water was not rippling.

This year's last fleet of migrants set sail south, hunting with flags and full of hope for the future.

Orderly boarded the ship and returned to Qiongzhou.

In the Yamen of the Fucheng Governor, Zeng Ying replaced the wine with tea and made an appointment with a few friends to congratulate the order.

Shou Xuan briefly reported to Zeng Ying on the situation in the two theaters of Haibei.

Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of Gaolei, is urging the Ming army to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, and the staple food of rice is no play, and some high-yield crops can be harvested when planted under the hydrothermal conditions of Guangdong.

Xie Yuanbian, the governor of Qinlian, packed up the remnants of the army and fought on all sides.

Zeng Ying raised her glass, "You did a good job of putting the Dian army in the Taiping Mansion." The Yunnan army swore to go out of Yunnan, and it has been seven years since today, Sun Kewang occupies Yunnan, and it is difficult for them to return home. ”

Orderly: "Yes, old sir. Hu Yiqing and others are Jianshui people (Honghe county in southern Yunnan), and they are placed in Taiping Mansion, at least they are closer to home. ”

"Can Qin Lian hold on?"

"How did the old gentleman see that?"

"If something happens you won't come back."

Shou Xian Man drank a glass of wine and said with a wry smile, "I've been on the front line for a long time, and I'm going to come back to rest." ”

"Could it be that there is something wrong with Qin Lian?"

"The line is safe to attack Lingshan County, and Ma Xiong is to attack Tianmen Pass. Kong Youde did not invest many troops, and the Qin Lianming army could cope with it. But this is only temporary. ”

"Well, you moved your troops back and forth between Chin Lian and Gao Lei, barely filling the gap. I think you are worried that Guangzhou and Guilin will attack at the same time. ”

"The old gentleman can see clearly that our troops are difficult to cope with a two-front battle."

Zeng Ying poured another cup for Shou Order, "The soldiers will block, and the water will come to Tutun." It's useless to think too much, come, have another drink. ”

Shou order was tense for many days, and after returning to Qiongzhou, his body and mind relaxed, and Zeng Ying advised him to drink, of course, he had to drink.

"I'll tell you something."

Shou Xuan grabbed a big crab and gnawed it with vinegar, "What's the matter?" ”

"Fang Yizhi has arrived in Hainan."

"Oh, that's a good thing."

Zeng Ying sighed and said, "It's a pity that a generation of celebrities has become monks." I originally wanted to find him a position in Hainan, but he was resolutely reluctant to leave the mountain. ”

"Why? I remember that he was very loyal to the imperial court. ”

"There is no greater mourning than death. Fang Yizhi is too loyal, he is in office, and he has seen a lot of intrigue and miasma among those people, and he is about to be extremely disappointed in the court before becoming a monk. ”

"You can't persuade you to be old?"

"I can't persuade you."

Shou Xian buried his head in dealing with the crab, raised his head and said, "Then what is he doing now?" ”

"In Jonesy's territory, Fang Yizhi opened an academy to teach mathematics."

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't force them. Let him, old man. ”

"He is a minister of the imperial court, it is okay to resign and teach, what kind of system does it become to be a monk, this is to destroy the ambition of the military and people of Qiongzhou."

Zeng Sakura puffed up.

Shou Xuan opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised.

People say that the old and the young, the older the younger, the younger they are, and the old man's temper is closer to that of the child. Zeng Ying is on the line, is it to blame Fang Yizhi for not giving face?

Shou Xiang coaxed Zeng Ying and said, "Don't be angry, old man, leave this matter to me." ”

"What can you do?"

Shou Xuan smiled a little mysteriously, "I pinched my fingers and counted, Fang Yizhichen was not over, and he couldn't enter the empty door." ”

"Nonsense, how did I not know that you could tell fortunes? Tell the truth. ”

"It's the hardest thing to be graced by beauty. Fang Yizhi had a relationship in Nanjing back then, and I don't think he could let it go. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"It's a little bit more relevant to you."

Shou Xuan told the process of getting to know Fang Yizhi.

Shen Yan, the guard of Shen Yan, escaped from Beijing before the fall of the city, but Fang Yizhi was arrested by Li Zicheng and tortured in Beijing. Jianzhou entered the customs, Fang Yizhi begged all the way back to Nanjing, but Ma Shiying didn't use him, that was when Fang Yizhi was the most depressed.

In the first year of Hongguang, he visited Zeng Ying in Nanjing, and was pulled by the students introduced by Zeng Ying to drink flower wine, and met Fang Yizhi through the introduction of Fang Yizhi's cousin Sun Lin.

Now, seven years later, the world has changed, and things are wrong. Sun Lin was defeated and martyred with Yang Longyou in Fujian, Song Huixiang followed the order, but Li Xueyi lived alone in Taipei.

Zeng Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this, "This Li Xueyi, can you bring it to Qiongzhou?" ”

"This matter is easy, wait for me to repair the book and go to Taipei."

"Haha, you should hurry up and deal with this matter as a military matter."

Zeng Ying smiled very happily, as if she had seen Fang Yizhi's embarrassment.

"Definitely."

"The most difficult to be ...... by beauty"

Zeng Ying muttered.

"What did the old gentleman say?" Shou Zhi tried his best to deal with a roast pig's trotters, but he didn't hear too clearly.

"It's okay, come, drink."

Zeng Ying was happy and persuaded Shou Xiang to have a few more cups.

Shou Xiang didn't think much about it, the wine was dry, and it was good to sleep when he drank high. He didn't sleep well, and it was rare to get a good night's sleep on those days on the front.

At night, Shou Xian slept in the governor's yamen, and in a trance, he found that there were people around him.

Women are the best way for war soldiers to relax and relax, and they turned over and pressed on in an orderly manner.

……

Early the next morning.

The girl huddled in the corner with the quilt in her arms, tears in the corners of her eyes, pitiful.

"How old are you?"

“16。”

"What's it called?"

"Zhu Huijing."

Orderly's face is black.

"Clan?"

The girl covered her face and sobbed quietly.

Shou Xuan suddenly understood what Zeng Ying's words meant by yesterday's wine, and it turned out that he was not happy that he could clean up Fang Yizhi.

If the order is not good, ask again, get up and leave.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the sky fell apart, 10 years ago, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong killed the clan everywhere, when the little girl was only 5 or 6 years old.

The Tatars entered the customs, and the Ming Dynasty clan suffered the scourge of annihilation, God knows what she has experienced over the years.

After a pause in front of the door, Shou Xuan said softly: "Don't be afraid, there will be nothing in the future." ”

The crying behind him was louder.

Headache, push the door and leave in an orderly manner.

Cai Yuanding led a white-faced and beardless eunuch to wait outside the door.

The eunuch fell to his knees.

"Which clan girl is inside?"

"Lord Qiyu, I am the younger sister of today's son, the eldest princess of Anhua."

The black lines on Order's face became thicker.

"Why didn't the emperor's sister go to Yunnan, but went to Qiongzhou?"

"My lord, this is a long story......

"I'll ask Zeng Ying, I don't need you to say, take care of your master."

The eunuch kowtowed and stopped talking.

Shou Zhi walked to Zeng Ying's study and knocked on the door.

The old man held a cup of tea, leaned on the rattan chair and read a book.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

"You asked knowingly."

The corners of Zeng Ying's eyes smiled into a slit, "You said the eldest princess." His Royal Highness was separated from the Son of Heaven on the way to escape, and Huang Liao's family and a princess came to Qiongzhou with a princess guard. ”

"Two princesses?"

"The eldest princess of Guangde promised Huang Liao's second son on the way to escape, do you want both?"

"." Shou Xuan said angrily, "I'm a family man, you say, what should I do with the princess?" ”

"Do what you have to do."

"Didn't you tell her?"

"Yes, the princess volunteered."

"What??"

Zeng Ying's eyes widened, "How could I persecute Emperor Xian's granddaughter?" ”

Zeng Ying is Wanli's protégé of the Son of Heaven, of course she can't do such a thing.

"I don't understand, you can find her a good family."

The old man put down the book and patted Shou Xuan twice on the shoulder.

"Someone heroically saved the United States in the Qinhuai River back then, and drove a ship to shoot Duoduo. Don't you know that you are a character in poetry? ”

After Zeng Ying finished speaking, she left the study, leaving Shou Xian standing there alone.

……

The military is busy, and there is not much time for leisure. Since you have received it, you have to be responsible. The identity of the princess of the Ming Dynasty is no longer important in this last world. There are at least a dozen princes and princes in the federation who live in the mainland and lose the mainland, they are just ordinary immigrants.

Father-in-law Hai Shuzu not only did not object, but also gave a set of manors to Zhu Huijing. The slight worries that Orderly had were no longer there.

Although she is a princess, Zhu Huijing has lived a slightly stable life in Zhaoqing for a few years, and the rest are either taking refuge or on the way to refuge.

Zhang Xianzhong in Hengzhou once, Liu Chengyin in Wugang once, Chen Bangfu in Xunzhou once, and Zhu Huijing almost died in the hands of the soldiers.

The girl is still very sensible, which makes Shou Xian feel a little relieved. The military affairs are busy, but they really have no intention of having children.

In May 1652, Geng Jimao's army left Guangzhou again; The line is safe to attack Qinzhou Lingshan, and Ma Xiong attacks Tianmen Pass.

The drama of Guo Hu, the general soldier of Yangjiang in the green camp, could not continue, and Zhang Yue and others abandoned the three land cities of Moyang and retreated to Hailing Island.

Lu Zhan struggled in Dianbai, Cui Liangyao's Pingshan Honghua Fort was lost, and all the defenders were martyred.

Fort Bomao was lost, and Li Mingzhong's entire army retreated to Wuchuan Island.

Qinzhou was in danger, and Deng Yao retreated to defend the city.

Huazhou was besieged again. Unlike last time, Geng Jimao left more troops in coastal cities and did not go deep into Leizhou.

Qin Lian and Gao Lei did not fight every day. The Ming army threw itself into the defense.
