"Tell me to guess!"

Facing Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Cihong's expression also became very solemn. He knows his subordinates well and trusts them very well.

Being able to make Zhang Huangyan act like this is by no means a gain or loss on the battlefield.

"I want to ......"

Zhu Cihong knocked on the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice, "It was about Dolgon who issued the order to shave his hair?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Huangyan looked at his sovereign with respectful eyes, but his face was still very solemn: "King Dongyu Rui issued a shaving order, ordering the army and civilians to shave their hair, and anyone who violates it will be punished!" ”

"Hehe, that's stupid."

In fact, the current "Great Qing Dynasty" is really far from reaching the strategic posture it should have, and of course, apart from the heavy losses in Shandong, it still has an absolute advantage in other battlefields.

Just imagine, Li Zicheng is the person who destroyed the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army has nothing to do about this person, the Ming Dynasty officials chose to cooperate and surrender, the emperor almost died in the city of Beijing, such a strong enemy, in a stone was suddenly killed by the Qing army in a fiasco, more than 60,000 old battalions of the main force escaped back and forth more than 10,000, and the remaining 50,000 soldiers ambushed the corpses for dozens of miles, all of which became the food of crows and wild dogs.

After this battle, the Qing army in Hebei repeatedly defeated the main force of the Shun army, and won successive victories, and then in Shanxi, northern Shanxi, the Shun army was almost powerless to fight back.

The most recent major battle was the Battle of Huaiqing, as soon as the Eight Banners led by Duoduo arrived, the 100,000 Shun army immediately collapsed, and it was not an opponent at all.

The Shun army is so unbeaten, and then think about the fact that the Ming army can't even beat the Shun army, and the situation of the Nanming centrifugal up and down, Hong Chengchou is even more sure. As long as the Qing army arrives. There is no one who can resist.

Under such good circumstances, Dolgon originally had the idea of shaving his hair, and later had to cancel it, but how could the character of this Prince Rui be easily changed?

To say that it sounds good is to be strong and unassuming, and to say that it is difficult to hear, it is an elm pimple, and I don't know how to be flexible at all, and I don't know what the reversal of the times is.

Shaving your hair outside the customs is a sign of friend and foe. In the Guannai, he was about to mix Yuan Yiyu, but he wanted a huge nation of more than 100 million people to submit to the people, and provoke resistance without fierce resistance, and the fool was nothing more than that.

And although hair shaving has been carried out in real history, it has cost twenty years of war and tens of millions of dead and wounded, and at the same time sowed the seeds of hatred.

The Qing dynasty was the dynasty with the most secretly organized uprisings on record, including the White Lotus Sect in the north and the Tiandihui in the south. From the early Qing Dynasty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, these secret organizations were involved.

Including large and small peasant uprisings, the so-called peaceful and prosperous times. It has never been truly peaceful, it is an out-and-out shameless lie!

"It is foolish, of course, and it will make the slave go up and down, but in a short time. The minister thought that there would be many soldiers and civilians who would be poisoned by him. ”

"I'm glad you thought of that!"

Zhu Cihong glanced at this very capable assistant with great appreciation. Those who can leave a big name in the annals of history, except for a few wastes that have wasted their reputation, most of them still have their outstanding points.

Not to mention anything else, it is the "water is too cold" Mr. Makitai. When it comes to poetry and demeanor, among today's ministers, there are really few who can be compared.

Even if the imperial court leaves a signboard, it has to leave Mr. Mu Zhai behind.

Zhang Huangyan is by no means a signboard, judging from the usual questions, it goes without saying that this secretariat is writing down. The ability to do things is also very strong, all things are handed over, and it must be done in the fastest time.

However, his praise did not make Zhang Huangyan feel embarrassed, and this secretariat was still feeling sad and painful for the vast number of people in the north.

Now the Qing army still occupies all of Shanxi, all of the Beizhili region and the half of Henan, so many places, tens of millions of people, hundreds of cities, it is conceivable that with the shaving order, the future of the people in the north is unknown.

"Well, you can draw up orders for me. Sun Chuanting of the Taibao no longer had to pursue the fleeing enemy, and sent more soldiers and horses to patrol the territory from Shandong to Beizhi to protect the people fleeing south, and break through some more passages to facilitate the people to flee south. The same is true on the Henan side, Wang Yuan doesn't have to expand the results of the battle, but mainly to protect the people. ”

Shaving the order, the people in the north either give in or resist, of course, whether it is submission or resistance are the two most extreme ends of things, I believe that there are many people, even ordinary Shengdou small people, the first choice must be to flee south.

If the Ming Dynasty had abandoned the entire territory of Shandong and Henan at this time, there would not be too many people who wanted to flee south, and it was too far away from the Jianghuai area to escape.

And now the Ming army can rush to Tianjin and Beijing in three or five days, and the area controlled by the Qing army is staggered and very complicated.

Here in Henan, there will be no shortage of people who want to escape.

Giving up the current favorable strategic posture and instead devoting his main energy to accepting fugitives, Zhang Huangyan looked very excited, and Zhang Jiayu's originally fair complexion, who had been silent, instantly turned red.

These two people, Zhu Cihong is well aware of the character, the great Confucian who loves the country and the people, although his fame is not obvious, and his poetry and literary fame are far worse than those of the Jiangnan talents, but when it comes to loyalty and dedication to state affairs, those Donglin literati can't catch up.

At this time, the two famous big men in later generations bowed down at the feet of Zhu Cihong, respectful and unreserved.

"The minister wants to thank His Highness for his kindness for the tens of millions of people in the north."

"The minister also thanked all the people of the north."

Zhu Cihong laughed, one in each hand, pulled the two Wenchen up, and said with a smile: "Who are you thanking for?" I'm really dizzy, I'm the crown prince, the future lord of the world, the lord of all peoples! ”

After saying this, the two secretaries surnamed Zhang looked at each other instead, and after half a ring, it was Zhang Jiayu who said: "Your Royal Highness, refuse to return to Nanjing, and ask for marriage without authorization, these two things, the emperor must have a mustard in his heart." ”

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "My father and I are life and death, my father will not fail me, and I will not fail my father, these two things are just trivial matters." Summoning me back to the south, one is that the crown prince has been in charge of the army for a long time is not a blessing for the country, and his father still wants to use the generals, and second, he may be troubled by his self-esteem, and he is arched by others, or he wants to personally preside over the overall situation, and the war in the north is even more involved in his mind. Summoning me back to Beijing, that's pretty much it, I think, it's no big deal. ”

"Even so," Zhang Jiayu said very cautiously: "The emperor is now following the policy of Qingjiang, from next year to after Xia Fu, the imperial court has at least tens of millions of taels of savings, since the emperor ascended the throne, there has never been so much silver available, silver money in hand, Nanjing has been rebuilding the forbidden army, recruiting troops on a large scale, and at the same time rebuilding the battalion system, restraining the generals, the emperor will do everything smoothly, I am afraid there will not be the kind of patience before." Although the love between father and son is deep, I am afraid that the minister will change over time. ”

In fact, Zhu Cihong himself also knows very well in his heart that when it comes to feelings, Zhu Cihong and Chongzhen trust each other in the relationship between father and son, and it will not change easily.

But the contradictions and conflicts lie in the struggle for power.

The situation has improved, people's hearts have stabilized, and Chongzhen certainly knows that this is all due to Zhu Cihong. It is said that he should think that his ability is not as good as his son, and he can honestly support his old age in the deep palace.

But he is only thirty-four years old after all, and he has been Weifu since the age of seventeen, a king who has held complete power and ruled the world for seventeen years!

His stubbornness and conceit have always been hidden deep in his heart, and he has never completely left.

When the situation was at its worst, he knew that he was responsible, and he could stabilize the situation in Nanjing with his residual prestige, and he went from Zhu Cihong to Yangxu in Jianghuai to exert his strength to stabilize the north of Nanjing.

Although Chongzhen is not a strategist, he still understands the truth that guarding the river must guard Huai.

However, now the overall situation has completely changed, the military and civilian ministers in Nanjing are stable and serve wholeheartedly, the implementation of many new systems such as the military affairs department and the guard system is unhindered, the implementation of the local salt administration and the government is extremely smooth, and in addition the redundant troops are being reduced in various places, the implementation of the rebuilding battalion system is very smooth...... Of course, this is because of the money, Chongzhen has been in power for 17 years, summoning ministers and ministers, and asking about military training and full salary every day, and now that he is fully paid, of course he also knows how to train soldiers.

An army that is ahead of the times like the Pingyu Army cannot be trained, but it should be somewhat sure that it will be generally organized into an army like the nine-sided battalions such as Liaozhen or Datong Jizhen in those years.

This Li Zicheng was pursued by the Qing army, Zuo Liangyu was beaten again and again, and Huai'an, Xuzhou has been very stable after more than half a year of rectification, Liu Zeqing was killed, Gao Jie was subdued, and the local military leaders were honest and obedient, with sufficient financial and material resources...... In this case, Zhu Cihong's personal martial arts are not of much significance, and the prince has been put outside for a long time, saying that he is not at ease, there is not much worry, if the prince has different aspirations, he will not go back to the palace to save his father and emperor that day, but after a long time, the ministers will say strange things, and what Chongzhen cares about most is his reputation in the history books of later generations!

Everything depends on his son's nest?

Thinking of this evaluation, I am afraid that Chongzhen would rather die in Beijing, at least with a resounding reputation as a king and a dead society.

This kind of thought, Zhu Cihong dares to really Chongzhen must have it, and it is very strong. This is an emperor who cares much more about his reputation than his life......

"Alas, I'll think about this matter again, I have to squeeze out time to go back and forth to Nanjing once a year ago, and when the time comes, let's talk about it!"

Ended this unhappy topic, Zhu Cihong also turned north, on the sand table map, there are arrows representing the three forces everywhere, Li Zicheng has led the main force to the north, and is already fighting to the death with Azig, Duoduo lives between Huaiqing, where will the soldiers be pointed?

He knew in his heart that the end was imminent! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
