Midsummer was coming to an end, and the weather was inexplicably colder, and it didn't rain. [.Lots of good]

The autumn of this year came unusually early.

At the height of the Xiaoice River period, fifteen miles away from Liu Liangzuo's old camp in Yeshan, Sun Yuan stood on a hill covered in a big coat, and when he looked around, he suddenly found that all around him had turned yellow, and the grass and trees had been scorched.

Yeshan is located in Tianchang County, which is a continuous mountainous area. The reason why it is called Yeshan is because of the abundant iron ore buried in the ground here. The history of local smelting can be traced back to the Warring States period.

In fact, it was mined until the 20th century, when the veins were exhausted, when it was transformed into a mining park for visitors to visit.

Of course, the grade of iron ore here is really not very good, with the scientific and technological level of the Ming Dynasty, the cost of smelting a pound of crude iron is much more than its own value. Therefore, this place stopped smelting more than 200 years ago and gradually became barren.

Yeshan is located in the southeast of Tianchang, just at the junction of Nanjing, Yangzhou and Fengyang, and it is a highland, which is a strategic point, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, after Liu Chun fled west from Taizhou, he set up the old camp here, and after Liu Liangzuo's army marched eastward, he also chose to garrison here.

Under the hill where Sun Yuan stood was a small flat land, and an official road passed through the flat land, connecting Yangzhou and Liuhe together. It's really cheap here, and the official road is a little deserted, and I waited on the mountain for a long time, but I didn't see a few pedestrians. The land is full of small hills, wooded, and rarely inhabited, making it indeed a good place for an ambush

。

The army marched for a day and a night, and finally arrived at the battlefield. At this moment, on the hill, more than 3,000 soldiers were sitting on the ground and pretending to sleep. After the battle, the troops rushed for hundreds of miles without any rest, and the troops were a little tired.

At this moment, the bright autumn sun shone down from the treetops, and the light and shadow of Ban Ti fell on the dusty faces of the soldiers. The sun fell on my body, but I didn't feel the slightest warmth.

At the time of departure, the troops had already changed into autumn clothes, but everyone still shrunk into a ball.

As soon as I exhaled and inhaled, there was a faint white breath from my mouth and nose.

In the sunlight, the yellow leaves swayed, and the armor on the soldiers' bodies was shining, and there was a bright splendor between heaven and earth.

The horses were all bridle and were lying on the ground with their ears fluttering discontentedly, and the cavalry carefully stroked their necks.

Seeing the reflection of the armor, the mid- and lower-ranking officers whispered to remind the non-commissioned officers to put a large coat on their bodies so as not to alarm the enemy.

"I don't know when this Xiaoice period will end, ten years, twenty years, or longer?" Sun Yuan smiled bitterly and rubbed his hands that had been cooled by the wind. As far as he knew, the Xiaoice period at the end of the Ming Dynasty would not end until the early years of Kangxi.

Now in the north, because the weather is so cold, agriculture has completely collapsed, the crops in the fields have failed badly, a large number of bankrupt farmers have fled, and there are people everywhere. As the saying goes: there is no stability without farming.

It was not until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty that the weather gradually warmed up, agriculture was restored, and the country settled down. It was only after the Manchu Qing Dynasty who entered the customs that they were recognized by the Han people and became the masters of the Central Plains.

Therefore, in a sense, the reason why Kangxi became the so-called "Emperor of the Ages" is because he caught up with a good period, and God is helping him!

Today, Beijing has fallen into the hands of Jiannu, and without the wealth of the southeast and the transportation of the Grand Canal, they would not be able to establish themselves in Beijing.

In this way, the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had two choices: first, as in the past, they went south to enter the Kou, robbed Beijing, and swept the city of golden silk women to retreat to Liaodong; Second, the army moved south and attacked Jiangnan.

The first choice is the simplest, anyway, Jiannu is a fishing and hunting people, every time they go south to hunt grass valleys, it is just to grab some grain and grass for the winter. The problem is that as their territory in Liaodong grows larger, the proportion of Han people among the people under their rule increases

。 Soon, the Manchus became a minority.

As a result, it was natural for the Houjin to change from fishing and hunting to farming, and their lifestyle changed dramatically.

Both the level of cultivation of the land and the living conditions in the customs are far better than those outside the customs, and there is no reason to go back.

Moreover, this was the first time that Jiannu conquered Beijing, the largest metropolis of the era. The prosperity of the city has dazzled the eyes of the upper nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they no longer have the idea of retreating to the bitter cold land of Liaodong.

This can be seen from the fact that after they entered Beijing, they began to stake their land and ask for fields.

This time, the Manchus really wanted to be the rulers of this East Asian continent.

Then the problem arises again, the north is already bankrupt, not to mention that the economy of the north is not enough to support the Manchu regime. Without Jiangnan wealth and luck, the city of Beijing would starve.

If they want to gain a foothold in Beijing, they must take Jiangnan.

This is the reality of history, the power of the economy.

In fact, as far as real history is concerned, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty captured Beijing, the upper nobles began to degenerate rapidly, just like Grandma Liu, who entered the Daguan Temple, and just wanted to stay in this earthly paradise and enjoy the losses, and did not have much interest in war. Perhaps, it is a good way to follow the Song-Jin confrontation and divide the river and govern it.

However, without Jiangnan, Beijing cannot exist alone.

The development of the Xiaoice River and Jiangnan from the Tang Dynasty to the present for more than 1,000 years has closely linked the north and south of the Yangtze River.

This is the famous concept of great unification in history.

Great unification is not so much a unique way of thinking of the Chinese as it is a product of the characteristic productive forces.

Jiannu has been in Beijing for half a year, and if nothing else, the spoils sharing meeting of the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already been opened. Over the next six months, they will soon realize how much a purely political metropolis that relies purely on local support will consume every day, and how much supplies will be needed to keep this deformed city functioning.

As a challenger, it was easy for the Manchu Qing to attack the Ming Dynasty, which was already on the verge of financial bankruptcy. Now that they are rulers, they know that it is not so easy to be a patriarch

。

You will know that without the southeast, they can only stay in the city of Beijing for a year, and then flee back to Liaodong in disgrace.

In real history, at the beginning of the summer of next year, after Jiannu exterminated Li Zicheng, the soldiers attacked Nanming in two ways. This battle is related to whether Manchurian can gain a foothold in the Central Plains, dispatch all the soldiers and horses since entering the customs, and lead a large number of Han troops and new annexed troops, go down to Nanjing in a battle, and finally get Nanjing.

Without Nanjing, Nanming finally went to extinction.

According to real history, King Fu was already enthroned in Nanjing as early as April this year. But history has changed a lot, and the matter has dragged on until now.

The key is that although the succession of Emperor Hongguang to the throne has been postponed, the Qing army's southward movement next year will not be delayed, this is the general trend of history, and it is not something that Sun Yuan, the butterfly who broke into the Ming Dynasty, can easily change.

"Time is running out, there is still half a year!" There was a faint wry smile on the corner of Sun Yuan's mouth: "The matter of Jiangbei Towns must be resolved as soon as possible, and Liu Liangzuo's head must be cut off no matter what today." ”

That's right, Sun Yuan wanted to unify all the military forces in Jiangbei. It is actually an easy thing to say that it is easy to destroy Gao Jie and them, but there is not enough time. If the war drags on, when Jiangbei is pacified and all the forces are integrated, the devil knows how many days it will take.

Therefore, when he caught up with Liu Chun and Gao Jie, he didn't chase after them, but only gave them a little bit of power to see, and they just clicked until they were there. Because, these soldiers and horses will be used on the battlefield of resistance against the Qing Dynasty in the future. If they are crippled and scrapped, the 10,000 horses of the Ningxiang Army alone will not be enough to stop the more than 100,000 troops of the Serf Army.

Moreover, the enemy came from two directions, and the Ningxiang army did not have three heads and six arms.

For Gao Jie, Sun Yuan is still very clear. This man is ferocious, and since he entered the Jianghuai region, he has committed a lot of blood debts, and it is not an exaggeration to kill him a thousand times. But Gao Jie was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and when the Qing army went south, this person was the first to lead troops to the battlefield, but unfortunately he was murdered by traitors. For this reason alone, Gao Jie is not guilty of death. Moreover, his army is the most effective and can be of great use in the future.

Therefore, for him, Sun Yuan is ready to focus on wooing. As long as Liu Liangzuo is killed, it will be enough to deter and subdue this beast.

As for Liu Zeqing, this person was cowardly and cowardly, and the reason why he became a traitor later was also forced by the situation, and he did not take the initiative to betray his ancestors. When the time comes, the Shandong Army will still be able to play a role on the battlefield

。

But in real history, Liu Liangzuo's actions are unforgivable. In 1645, when the Qing army went south, he led his troops to surrender, captured Emperor Hongguang in Wuhu, and presented it to the Qing army.

is different from Liu Zeqing, this person took the initiative to be a traitor and will be killed.

In the previous battle against Gao Jie, although the Ningxiang army won a great victory, it was still very restrained, and the Manchu Qing enemy was current, and Sun Yuan did not want to hurt the Qin army too much.

Gao Jie and others may not be convinced, and Liu Liangzuo is the monkey that Sun Yuan used to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.

This battle, Fu Shan has already designed. Before the war, Sun Yuan swore in Yangzhou and released a word, saying that he would attack the old camp of Liu Liangzuo in Yeshan with all the main forces. 、

In this oath master ceremony, Sun Yuan also invited King Fu, Ma Shiying, and Lu Jiude over, making a big noise. It must have already reached Liu Liangzuo's ears.

Liu Liangzuo had seen the combat effectiveness of the Ningxiang Army on the battlefield that day, and now that he was far away from the Shouzhou base camp, he naturally did not dare to stay in Yeshan anymore.

Thinking about it, he will definitely flee back to Shouzhou with the main force as soon as possible and become his soil emperor.

And Sun Yuan ambushed his troops on this road that Liu Bu must pass to return to the west.

It is said that the spies came to report that after Liu Liangzuo heard the news that the Ningxiang army was hungry, he began to pack his bags early in the morning and prepare to escape, everything was expected by Fu Shan.

It is said that there are 5,000 cavalry in Liu Liangzuo's old camp, and although there are not many men and horses, they are all the elite of his army. Eliminate this force, and Liu Liangzuo will be finished.

It was noon, and it was still cold.

I roughly estimated that it should be around ten degrees. If this kind of temperature is in modern Nanjing, it can only appear in 39 days, but now it is only the beginning of autumn!

Sun Yuan couldn't help but shake his head again, and at this time, a guard pointed to the front and whispered, "It's here!" ”

When I looked closely, I saw dust slowly rising from the southeast.

In this withered and yellow world, if you are not careful, it is really easy to ignore the past.
