When the ice in the Bohai Sea melted, boatloads of soldiers and munitions of the Fu Han Army were quickly transported from Shandong to Caofeidian. The soldiers and materials www.biquge.info the pen and the fun and the pavilion were all gathered in Shandong before, and the ships were also concentrated in Shandong early by the logistics department. In the same way, the Manchus also gathered all their banner soldiers, training troops, elite green battalions, as well as the valuable Eight Banners New Army and Mongolian horse team in Beijing and Tianjin.

From the Central Plains to the south, from the Yangtze River to the Yellow River, on the front of thousands of miles, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen into the predicament of total defeat, especially the upcoming decisive battle between Beijing and Tianjin, the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty has been thrown into an unprecedented crisis, and now they can only do their best to fight to the death under the city of Beijing. In the same way, the rapid development of the situation has also caused many 'riding walls and factions' at both ends of the 'first rat' to fall into great embarrassment.

Just when the decisive battle between Beijing and Tianjin was about to break out, when the proverb of 'February 2, the dragon raises its head' was known throughout the country, the Heaven and Earth Associations in central and southern Fujian, and the local powerful factions in the southwest and northwest, had to face the cruel reality of the present, and everyone found that their continued 'persistence' was likely to bring them a crisis of death immediately!

In the battle of Beijing and Tianjin, can the Manchus win? Even if such a victory only delayed the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a little time, this is what countless 'riding the wall and faction' are eager to see. Because such a defeat would dampen the morale and prestige of the Fu Han army, they could take this opportunity to gain a little more benefit.

However, the result of the Manchu and Han armies last winter made many people lose confidence in the Manchus, and many people clearly knew that their "hopes" were just "extravagant hopes", and if the Manchus could really win the decisive battle of the Han army to the city of Beijing, would they still lose the huge country in just three or four years?

In the same way, if the Fu Han army seized Beijing and Tianjin in one fell swoop, Chen Han's domination of the world was just around the corner. How the Heaven and Earth Guilds in central and southern Fujian would react, even Chen Ming himself couldn't predict, but they still had a trace of incense with the Fu Han Army. The powerful factions in the two southwestern provinces and the northwest are the real wax. They were under the command of the Manchus before, because just a year ago, in most areas of the southwest and northwest, the Manchus could still control the situation, and these people could only curry favor with the Manchus, and they really didn't have too deep 'exchanges' with the Fu Han army. The situation has developed so far, how many of these people are willing to accompany the Manchu burial?

Anyway, in the years before and after the year, the secret camps in the southwest and northwest sent secret reports one after another to Nanjing City. Those local powerful factions are really local powerful factions, and they can't be on a big scene. Many of the forces in their hands are mainly trained by the militia and brave, and their positions are not full-time military attachés, but civilian officials in local state capitals.

But you can't really underestimate such people, they are not enough to succeed and fail, but they can cause great trouble to the establishment of the local ruling order of the Fu Han army, who makes the southwest more mountains. This is the lesson learned after the Fu Han army captured Guizhou.

Judging from the statistics of the famous watch that Chen Ming already held in his hand, Dong Tianbi, who had the largest number of troops under his command, only had six or seven thousand people left.

Dong Tianbi is a native of Beijing and is from Daxing. Wu Jinshi was born and was awarded the garrison of the former battalion of Sichuan. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty conquered Jinchuan, Dong Tianbi made meritorious contributions in the army, and he was relocated to the deputy general of the Victoria Association, and then moved to the general army of Songpan Town, and was transferred to the governor of Sichuan.

However, the defeat of the Qing army in Guizhou caused the elite of the Qing army in the three southwestern provinces to be lost, and there were only six or seven thousand people left under the commander of Dong Tianbi.

The Fu Han Army is related to a few people on these lists, with good official reputations and strong ability, even if such bureaucrats are old-fashioned, the Fu Han Army is happy to accept them. Including Dong Tianbi! However, these people were polite and extremely preferential to the secret envoys of the Fu Han army before. But when it comes to practical problems, they will push away from everything and not leave a word of truth. Now they also feel embarrassed.

If Beijing is taken by the Fu Han army, Daqingguo will be finished. What reason do they have to continue to serve Aixinjue Luo's death? But they all generally rejected the pull of the Fu Han army before. This kind of practice of not offending left and right is very deadly. Because the strength of the Fu Han Army is strong now.

Chen Ming had a saying on the Internet that was widely circulated in his previous life: If you don't die, you won't die. It can be said that these people are referring to them.

These people and the rebels of the Heaven and Earth Society who have always maintained their 'independence' in central and southern Fujian have fallen into the current embarrassing situation, no matter how you look at it, they are all their own doing, and they are not worthy of sympathy at all. Chen Ming was very willing to accept the essence of this handful of old bureaucrats, as well as the Tiandihui rebels in Fujian, but they themselves were reluctant. Time has dragged on until now, and the capital owned by these people has become lighter and weightless with the passage of time.

Therefore, whether it is the southeast, the southwest, or the northwest, they are about to face the most difficult choice in their lives.

……

Time went back half a month. The wind is howling, the snow is flying, and North Korea is still immersed in the cold winter years in the first month. A heavy snowfall hit violently after the New Year, and there was a white expanse everywhere. It was freezing cold, dripping into ice, and it was impossible to see the situation 100 meters away.

The cold air swept over North Korea and swept through South Korea, enveloping the southern part of Korea, which had just warmed up. This year, the climate in North Korea has been very cold, and the Korean people, who were very dry by the Qing army, have suffered another heavy blow. Including half of the winter clothes of the rebels, they were transported from China.

At the same time, a large number of Chinese civilian merchant ships also arrived in Busan, south Korea, and what did they get from North Korea in exchange for grain, cloth, cotton, tea, salt, sugar, and other materials that North Korea continued to have?

Person! Only people!

Today's economic trade between North Korea and China is no longer ginseng, furs, medicinal herbs, Korean paper, Chinese cattle, horses, livestock, daily necessities, all kinds of metal products, gold, silver, copper money, textile raw materials, all kinds of cotton cloth, all kinds of dyes, and so on.

Besides, what is the most worthless and worthless thing about North Korea now? Population. The 'two kings' of Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province can't even feed their own soldiers and horses, so where do they still have the spare energy to take care of the Korean civilians? If these people go to the kingdom and live a lifetime, they will have done good deeds.

Especially after Chen Han promulgated the decree that 'no one should be a slave in the country', foreign manpower in North Korea seems to have become more sought-after.

Compared to the port of Shanghai, the port of Busan is crowded, dirty, cluttered, and cramped......

There wasn't even a decent building, except for a bunch of dilapidated shacks, just low North Korean wooden houses.

There was no way, the place was burned down by the war over and over again, and all the original buildings were in ruins. And many Chinese businessmen have settled here in the same small wooden houses built by North Korean officials, short and aggrieved.

But at least this is where one else lives.

And those dilapidated shacks made of bamboo and wood are not neat or tidy, they are just a place to live, and they are ventilated everywhere in winter. Throughout the winter, people starved and froze to death every day.

The Korean 'Erjun', who is based in Gyeongsang Province and Jeolla Province, cannot afford to take care of these people, and their troops are still hungry, and there is still food to feed the refugees? Therefore, in the face of the 'robbery while the fire is hot' by Chinese businessmen, except for a few brain-dead people whose heads are caught in the door and think that they have hurt the country, the whole North Korean people are happy to see Chinese businessmen transport people away by boat.

To put it mildly, these are all good deeds, so that they can stutter and survive.

Many high-level North Koreans know that when they arrive in China, these North Koreans will become slaves, young and beautiful women, and they will become sought-after goods in the market. But what about being a slave? Aren't these people also a cheap life in the country? Thousands of years ago, in the Tang Dynasty, didn't the Korean Peninsula also produce 'Silla maids'.

Rather than not having enough to eat and becoming hungry, it is better to go to the kingdom and become a slave.

Therefore, the world rises and falls, and the people suffer. War and chaos together, swords and soldiers are combined, and the most unlucky people are always the weakest people.

In China, as industry and commerce have developed over the past year or so, there have been more and more factories in Chenhan, as well as the provincial military cooperatives after the split, all of which are large buyers by North Koreans. Especially the latter! The Grange for Farm has become a trend!

And the local elites in North Korea have gone from 'turning a blind eye' at the beginning to actively participating now. Grain and other much-needed materials made them like slave traders who actively sold their goods to every Chinese merchant ship that docked.

Now there is a "labor market" outside the port of Busan, where hundreds of men and women in tattered clothes look at the Chinese merchants roaming the market with expectant expressions. These Chinese merchants, dressed in scattered silks, were not hateful slave owners in their eyes, but the most respectable 'good man' lords.

There were only a handful of guards with knives and guns around them, and none of them would actually escape. Here, the 'slave owners' will not really starve them to death, and when they go outside, what will they rely on to survive?

Even the Chinese merchants who roamed the market had a golden glint in their eyes.

"There are so many people here, can you ...... and sell them?" Kim looked at the labor market from afar, but he didn't have the courage to step in and take a look.

"Niangniang, the heavens and the earth are vast, and the entire North Korea is just a drop of water when it migrates. Especially at the beginning of the new dynasty, the mines in various places were vigorously developed, and the roads had to be repaired, and the labor camps were no longer sufficient, and labor was urgently needed everywhere. ”

"Our Korean people are foreign people, and their treatment and casualty benefits are much lower than those of the upper nationals. Many big businessmen are happy to use our people. "No matter how beautiful Kim Ki Dae's words are, they can't change the fact that North Koreans live cheaply.

The tears that Kim had just wiped away couldn't help but flow again.

"The Qing Dynasty destroyed our country, and I don't know when I, North Korea, will be able to re-establish the country and the people." Before the Manchu invasion, North Korea had a population of about 10 million, so can there still be 10 million Koreans now? Can they still have eight million? Even if you count those Korean slaves in the Northeast.

Kim Ki Dae has already recognized the reality, he does not surround Eun Yanjun Li Zhen, and does not support Yanlingjun Li Zhen, but tied himself to the big ship on Jeju Island. Kim Ki-dae even felt that one day after North Korea was restored, he would no longer have to stay in North Korea, wouldn't it be better and easier to move to Shangguo to live in peace? Anyway, the Qingfeng Jin family also has other children here. It's like he's going to send Kim to China this time. The battle between Enyanjun and Trillium Jun is becoming more and more intense, because the momentum of the Manchu Qing in China is declining, so it feels that the tail of the Manchu is a rabbit card that cannot grow for the two people, and the competition in all aspects is becoming increasingly fierce. In this case, it is better for the special Kim family to avoid China.

At the same time, this is also to announce the position of the Qingfeng Jin clan, they will not participate in this competition for the throne.

Before leaving North Korea for China, Kim wanted to go back to the mainland, to be precise, she wanted to go back to Jinju. It was the place where her husband ascended the throne and became king, but now, Busan alone is afraid that is enough.

What could be more sad and hopeless for the master of a nation than to see his people full of hope and longing aboard a ship that had left their homeland? Kim had never suffered much, nor had he ever been hungry. And everything in Busan in front of her shocked her.

……

There was joy outside Nanjing, no, the whole Jiangnan was happy. Because Nanjing is in the south of the Yangtze River, when the children's pox in Nanjing is over, the first step to expand outward must be in the south of the Yangtze River.

But not many people know that on the 28th day of the first lunar month, Chen Hui went out to Sungkyun Public School to visit the first batch of students who had pox, and Chen Hui, who returned to the palace, fell ill all of a sudden.

Fever, chills, worsening cough, accompanied by cough and severe chest pain, body aches, bloody sputum.

Anyway, it didn't look like a major illness, but it didn't get better for two days, and my legs were swollen. Chen Hui's consciousness was clear, so when the time came to the first day of the second month, although Chen Hui was very helpless, he still issued the will to delay the 'emperor ceremony'.

With his current physical strength, he was afraid that he would not be able to complete a third of the agenda, and the person would lie down. And which emperor in history said that the emperor ceremony was carried out in one cough after another? Where is the majesty of such an emperor?

"Your Highness, Kim has already arrived in Shanghai with the Korean mission, but she did not get off the ship, but then took the boat to Hangzhou."

Chen Hui's sudden illness poured cold water on the entire Chen Han, and the relatives and nobles who were waiting for the marquis with joy were all unhappy for a few days in early February. After Chen Ming discussed with Chen Hui, he decided to immediately set off for the north to start the decisive battle between Beijing and Tianjin. At this time, another wave of Korean envoys arrived, accompanied by the former queen of North Korea, the Kim family, etc., which made Chen Ming have to distract himself a little.

Chen Ming asked Guoan to contact the Kim family, and then carefully protected the Jin family. It's just right that she didn't come to Nanjing to join in the fun at this time.

It doesn't matter if the Jin family is going to Hangzhou or somewhere, as long as her personal safety is guaranteed, it will be enough.

Kim Ki-chong had already gone to Shanghai to wait for the arrival of the Kim family. For her to go to Hangzhou, Kim Ki-chong was happy. Now that the envoys of the 'two monarchs' have arrived in Nanjing, if the Jin family goes over and gets involved, there will be no benefit at all. It's good to come to Hangzhou and relax.

"I have heard the name of Suzhou and Hangzhou for a long time, and I admire the infinite style of heaven on earth, so I will take the opportunity to take a walk and have a look." Kim was joined in Shanghai by someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Kim told a Foreign Ministry official.

……

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

"Boom ......"

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, the sound of gongs resounded in the streets and alleys of Nanjing City early in the morning.

With the roaring salute, the long horn, and the loud gongs and drums, the Fu Han army sounded the horn of the last leg of the Northern Expedition on this day.

No one in the whole Nanjing city will be angry because of the morning dream to be woken up, countless people poured out from the streets and alleys, extending from Nanjing City to Xiaguan Wharf, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes, Chen Ming, who was dressed in military uniform, led the '200,000' army out of Nanjing City.

Whether it is the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Divisions in the Central Plains, the 3rd Division in Shandong, the garrison troops of various provinces, as well as the 1st Garrison Division, the 2nd Garrison Division, the Guards Brigade, the Guards Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade, and the banners of a detachment all appeared in the '200,000' army behind Chen Ming.

Chen Hui did not claim the title of emperor, and Chen Ming did not mean to take over immediately, and the government and the opposition tacitly 'downplayed' this matter. But Chen Han's Northern Expedition still had to be carried out, and it was going to be carried out immediately. Chen Hui has already said that when he enters the city of Beijing, he will be a vassal. Chen Ming, who was sitting on horseback, had endless confidence flashing in his eyes.

"The edict said: In the past, the five chaotic summers were only passed on again and again. Today, the East should be prophesied, suitable for the period of one or two autumns. The clothes became dogs and sheep, and the country fell to Rongdi. There is no flesh that does not gnaw his teeth at the slave chieftains. It's true that the way of heaven is good, and the situation is also thoughtful. …………

To advocate righteousness in Fengtian, and hang the people on behalf of the ......"

With Chen Ming leading his troops out of Nanjing City, a "Northern Expedition Text" from Qin Dacheng, the former Manchu champion, spread all over the world. (To be continued.) )
