The city gate tower is very quiet, it can be said that there is no sound. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The young Qing Emperor stood above the city gate, staring at the red light that reflected half of the red sky in the south.

The city tower under his feet was once bombarded by the Hongyi cannon, and here is the place where Shi Kefa, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, was martyred.

Not far behind the city wall is Zuowei Street. At the end of the street, there is an alley of dozens of meters to the left, and at night, there is no finger visible, and it is very eerie. There were rumors in the city that there were ghosts in that alley, so no one dared to walk through that alley after dark.

A few years ago, Yangzhou Mansion had asked people to hang six lanterns in the alley, but as long as the lanterns were hung, they would be extinguished that night, not blown out or smashed by someone, but extinguished by themselves, and the lanterns were complete from the inside out. Since then, no one has dared to hang lanterns in the alley, and even if pedestrians walk into the alley with lanterns, they will inexplicably extinguish them. Not to mention outsiders, even the nearby people will not come out at night. It is said that when someone passes by in the middle of the night, they will hear people crying in the alley, and some people will see people inside watching them from afar.

In short, the rumors about this alley are scary, and this is the forbidden area of Yangzhou City. Fifteen years ago, it was the largest slaughterhouse in Yangzhou. At that time, the Qing soldiers spread the dead bodies in the alley layer by layer, and piled the corpses as high as the roofs on both sides. After the corpses were piled up, dozens of Manchurian officers excitedly climbed onto the corpses, cheered and jumped on them, and sang the songs of their hometowns.

When Prince Yu Duoduo heard about this, he happily said to the people below that "building corpses and topping" is the greatest military feat of Manchurian Erlang!

Fifteen years have passed, and the original "base corpse" has long become the white bones of mass graves outside the city, and most of the original Manchurian sons and daughters are no longer in the world. But the story of the corpse has been passed down forever (more than 200 years later, the corpse and the top evolved into the screw and the top, and the city's inhabitants have forgotten the true meaning of these four words). ）

..........

Of course, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would not run into the alley behind the city wall late at night, nor would he do anything for those dead souls, and it was even impossible for him to hear the words "base the corpse and the top" from the mouths of his courtiers. He only knew that the city of Yangzhou was conquered by the Qing Dynasty, and after conquering the city, the Ming officials in Nanjing were frightened, so they surrendered. The Qing soldiers occupied the most elite land of the Han people without a single soldier.

This is obviously a good thing.

The Qing Emperor was still very young, so although the military situation was urgent and the war was not going well, it did not affect his interest in visiting the famous scenery of Yangzhou. He took the time to swim to Baobao Lake (Slender West Lake), Wenchang Pavilion, White Tower, and also saw the scenery of the four bridges, the water and clouds, and the twenty-four bridges. The officials of Yangzhou really wanted to offer a few beauties to make the emperor happy, but they searched and searched in the city, but they couldn't find a few hearts. This can't be blamed on them, who let all the people in this city be killed more than ten years ago. Most of the current residents of Yangzhou are not from Yangzhou, so no matter how good the water and soil of Yangzhou are, no matter how beautiful they can be, I am afraid that it will take decades or even 100 years to make Yangzhou beautiful again.

Fortunately, the officials in Yangzhou did not offer beauties to the Qing Emperor, because the young Son of Heaven now favors Concubine Dong E alone, and other women, no matter how beautiful they look, are far inferior to Concubine Dong E in his heart. Even if Concubine Ai is now terminally ill and thousands of miles away from him, in the heart of the young emperor, that woman will always be the most beautiful and beautiful. Therefore, if the Yangzhou officials' sycophants are not done well, they will slap the emperor's horseshoe, and the gains outweigh the losses.

There is an emperor of the Han people named Tang Minghuang, who said that he loves beauty but not the country, I am not Emperor Tang Ming, I love the country and love the beauty more. Rivers and mountains and beauties are like fish and bear's paws, as long as I am the emperor, then I can get them.

The loyal and warlike slave Ao Bai went to preside over the Sanwan camp, and tens of thousands of troops all drove to the south, and even the Mongolian fanzi from outside the country went to work for the Qing Dynasty. Ao Bai and Sony spent the whole night in the imperial camp planning for the master, doing their best, all kinds of details were taken into account, and finally they came up with a result that made the master very excited, that is, this decisive battle, the Qing Dynasty will win!

Shunzhi didn't suspect that the minions were coaxing himself to be happy, because he had put too much effort into this war, money, food, ordnance, soldiers, horses, and manpower, whatever he could take, he could take out. Even in order to sustain this war, he acquiesced in the expansion of "Cha Yin" in Shanxi, and exterminated those loyal clothed slaves who were appointed as imperial merchants by himself and had made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, just to be able to take out the money from the pockets of these minions to keep the treasury running.

At the same time, as the emperor, he turned a blind eye to the disaster that occurred in Yangzhou Zuojin County. Compared with the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty, the lives of the Han people are really not worth mentioning. They were originally slaves in Manchuria, and the purpose of their life was only to serve and support Manchuria, so now they pay a little outside of their bodies for the Qing Dynasty, even if it is their lives and wives and daughters, it is nothing. They were pigs and sheep in captivity in the Qing Dynasty.

Shunzhi believed that Aobai would definitely be able to win, and tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry plus two or three Han army green battalions came out together, and he couldn't think of any chance of winning for the thief show. Although the previous Qing Dynasty lost two battles in a row and lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, most of the dead were the green battalions of the Han army, and the vitality of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers was still there. The army is still much stronger than the Ming army, even if it can't be won, a tie will be a good thing for the Qing Dynasty, a great good thing.

To a certain extent, Shunzhi regarded the thief Xiucai as Li Zicheng of the year, and he believed that the shallow-rooted thief Xiucai could not withstand a defeat, and even did not need to win against him, as long as his troops were blocked, the people of the world would re-examine whether the Ming Dynasty could really be revived.

After Ao Bai sent back the report of the dispatch from Sanwan, Shunzhi was very excited, he rubbed his hands, and said to the guard Feiyangu next to him that he wanted to go to the front line to cheer up the soldiers in person, and see with his own eyes how the thief Xiucai, who made him hate, was defeated.

Just when Feiyangu was preparing for the emperor's royal drive to the front line, the old Sonny arrived to dissuade his master in time. Under Sony's persuasion, Shunji dismissed the idea of going to the front line, and sat behind the imperial table and waited anxiously. How he longed for the good news of Aobai to come, and how he longed to hear the good news that the thief Xiucai had been arrested. However, what he got was the news that the camp in Sanwan was on fire.

Sanwan is very close to the south city of Yangzhou, standing on the city tower, in the dark night, without a clairvoyant mirror, Shunzhi can see that the southern sky is reflected red.

"How could it be..."

Shunji muttered, and his face became ugly. Although no definite news has yet arrived, the fire in the camp has already explained everything to the Manchu generals and officials on the city tower. That is, Aobai is likely to be defeated.

No one dared to speak, everyone stood silently.

"How could it be.... How could it be! ”

Suddenly, everyone fell to their knees in fright, because they saw the emperor's fist smashing against the city wall.

"Master!"

Sonny saw blood running down his master's right hand, and he kowtowed in fright. (To be continued.) )
