Sandridge Fort.

This small castle has long since reverted to its original appearance, after the design of European consultants, and a large number of Manchu captives rushed to build buildings, the sand ridge fort has been expanded more than a circle, the original castle has long been enclosed in the new castle has become the inner fort.

Outside the old fort, a new city wall was built, which was completely in the style of a castle that the Qing people had never seen, with a dog-tooth staggered city wall, full of fortress forts, and ramps and circles of trenches outside, as well as many sharp piles and horses driven into the ground.

In the inner fort, Fan Zhiwan sighed for a long time, he had just come out of the governor's mansion.

An angel arrived in Kyoshi and read out the emperor's will.

The emperor decreed that Liu Jun and the Qing people should negotiate peace. These did not surprise him, they were all expected, after all, Songjin was defeated, I heard that the 120,000 army was lost, and now there is only one Ningyuan City left in Liaoxi outside the Guan. Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out of the city, and 80,000 horses allowed the 30,000 people of Ji'er Harang to occupy the cities such as Yijin Songxing Tower.

Fan Zhiwan was a little annoyed that the emperor actually handed over a martial artist to Liu Jun to be responsible for such a major matter as peace negotiation. What made him even more annoyed was that the imperial court had just readjusted the military towns in various places, and now there were no nine sides and no thirteen towns, and the north was now the five major military regions and the three major battalions in Gyeonggi.

Gyeonggi has three battalions, nine towns, soldiers and horses, one governor and three admirals. At the same time, five governors and fifteen governors and fifteen commanders were also established, of which five governors and five commanders were added to the rank of admiral.

Fan Zhiwan was originally the governor of Liaodong, and now Liaodong Town is also one of the five major military regions, including Denglai Town, Lushun Town, and Zhenjiang Town. Fu Zonglong is not surprised that the new governor of this military region, Fan Zhiwan is still the governor.

But what he never expected was that he was the governor of Zhenjiang, not the governor of Lushun. However, according to the new system, as long as the governor of Lushun is called the governor of Liaodong, he will also be added to the rank of commander of military affairs and food and salary. The new governor of Lushun in the imperial court was actually Li Chunjiang. The champion who was only in the middle at the beginning of a year, and it was already unprecedented to be appointed as the governor of Liaodong in half a year, and now he has only been the governor for a few months, and he has actually jumped to the governor.

is also the governor of Lushun, plus the right imperial history and the right attendant of the military department, and the commander of Liaodong and Denglai military affairs and food and salary. And he, the governor of Zhenjiang, only added the title of imperial history of the right capital, and the military affairs of the original official position were gone, and he was changed to be in charge of military affairs and food.

The special one is also the governor, who was a jinshi ten years ago. The old governor who has been in office for ten years has become Li Chunjiang's subordinate.

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

Fu Zonglong served as the governor of Liaodong and Denglai, Li Chunjiang served as the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Lushun, Fu Shan served as the governor of Liaodong and the chief military officer of Lushun Town, Fan Zhiwan served as the governor of Zhenjiang, and Song Yihe served as the governor of Denglai. The three newly appointed inspectors in the three towns are all new members of this year's new science and technology scholars, Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi, and Chen Zhenhui. Coupled with a patrol of Beiyang Town, aren't these four people the four sons of the Fushe Society who are very close to Li Chunjiang and have been singing praises for Liu Jun?

After returning from the Shuai Mansion for the angels and the newly arrived officials, Fan Zhiwan felt very tired. The body is tired, and the heart is even more bitter.

The body is tired, the heart is bitter, and although it is tired, it is difficult to sleep.

I can't sleep in my heart. Fan Zhiwan sat on the kang and looked at things under the lamp. These are all kinds of news that Fan Zhiwan arranged for his entourage to inquire about and collect, including Liu Jun's and the generals of the Chu army. There are even Li Chunjiang and Fu Zonglong's.

Generally speaking, people don't have much information to collect, it's just trivial.

However, Fan Zhiwan never gave up, he always hoped to catch Liu Jiye's handle.

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; Up and down the river, suddenly lost and surging. ”

Fan Zhiwan just watched the beginning, and he came to the spirit.

"Good words, majestic, rushing to the face. Whose word is this, isn't it Li Chunjiang or the fourth son? "Fan Zhiwan is also a two-list jinshi, and he usually loves to dance and write, and at the beginning of this word, it is very atmospheric.

He continued to read.

"The mountain dance silver snake, the original Chi wax elephant, wants to be higher than the heavenly princess. It must be a sunny day, and look at the red dress, which is extraordinarily enchanting. There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. Regret the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, slightly lose the literary style; Tang Zong and Song Zu, slightly inferior. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knows how to bend the bow and shoot the eagle. ”

"This person has such a big breath, crazy!" Fan Zhiwan couldn't help but slap his hands on the kang table.

But when he saw the last sentence, "Look at the past, count the romantic characters, and look at the present." At that time, he couldn't help but change his face, first frightened, and then he immediately turned to the end, "This poem is rumored to have been written by Liu Jiye and Li Chunjiang after drinking a few days ago. Seeing this, Fan Zhiwan has changed from surprise to surprise.

This is a poem of the anti-words of Chiguoguo.

Dare to comment on the emperors of the past dynasties so arrogantly, how many romantic figures still look at the present dynasty? What do you want to do, meaning that you are more powerful than Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Sect, and Song Zu? What is this not an antiword?

Song Jiang wrote a sentence when he was Ling Yunzhi, and dared to laugh at Huang Chao's husband is anti-poetry,

And Huang Chao also wrote that if he was the Green Emperor, he would bloom with the peach blossoms, and the more famous song of the sky-high fragrance penetrated Chang'an, and the city was full of golden armor.

Of course, the more famous is that the sky of the Yellow Turban Uprising in Taiping Road is dead, and Huang Tian should stand.

If this poem only has the first half, it's nothing, it's just Yongxue writing the scene, but with the second half, it is an ironclad anti-word. If this word was written by the emperor, it is majestic and imposing. But you, Liu Jiye, are just a military general with troops, so you dare to write such words, and you are still a few romantic characters, and you look at the present dynasty, your ambition is exposed, and the reflexes are obvious.

The more Fan Zhiwan thought about it, the more excited he became, okay, you Liu Jiye, you also have times when you are too proud, this time I finally got the handle.

Fan Zhiwan was excited, and immediately took a pen and paper and quickly wrote the secret music.

"Master, the slave grinds ink for you."

"Master, the slave maid adds incense to you."

Two Liaodong Han girls stepped forward lightly, one sharpened the ink for Fan Zhi, and the other added fragrance to him.

Fan Zhiwan glanced up at the two young and beautiful girls, nodded and continued to write excerpts. These two girls are both Han people from Liaodong and are also people under the rule of the Tartars. After the Chu army attacked Liaoshen, it broke through many castles, villages and towns along the way, and took many residents and civilians away, and some were escorted back to Liaoyang, Lushun, and Zhenjiang. Some stayed in the Waichu military camp in Shenyang.

Those Jurchens and Mongols were naturally coolies, responsible for repairing cities, digging moats, cutting trees, and fishing, while the Han people were treated slightly better. Since Liu Jun allowed the soldiers of the Chu army to buy women captured by Liaodong as maidservants and concubines, and also set up a women's camp, Fan Zhiwan also bought a few young Liaodong Han women with good looks to make maid rings.

As a governor, he naturally no longer had to live in a separate women's camp with the maid ring he bought. Among the maid rings bought, Fan Zhiwan's favorite is these two, both are only sixteen or seventeen years old, although they are Han women, but their families are not low status Han military banners among the Tartars. Therefore, they also have a good family education, and they all have little feet. Especially the two original young ladies, who are now his maids, are also very sensible, usually grinding ink and adding fragrance, knocking on their legs and hammering their backs, and warming their beds.

Since having these two girls, Fan Zhiwan has never found a scholar to sleep with.

Fan Zhiwan was in a stirring mood and wrote quickly. didn't notice at all that what he wrote had already been seen word by word by the two girls who had been grinding ink and fragrance, and remembered it in his heart.

Shuaifu.

After Liu Jun's banquet. also returned to his room, because it was wartime, so all the generals and officials at the banquet only drank a few glasses of wine, and Liu Jun was very sober at this time.

The court wants to negotiate peace. Liu Jun was not surprised, the imperial court asked him to be responsible for the accident with the Qing people, but it made him a little surprised. Liu Jun was also in favor of negotiating peace at this time. After the Battle of Songjin, the Ming Dynasty lost a lot of troops, especially Liaoxi, which only left one Ningyuan.

Although the Chu army maintains its strength, after all, the Chu army does not have many troops, and now that the Central Plains has begun to mess up again, Liu Jun is more concerned about his base camp.

The Qing army was actually quite numerous, and before this war, the Qing army had about 200,000 Manchu, Mongolian and Han troops. Even now, it still maintains more than 100,000, and its family members and slaves are more than a million. As it is now, there is a full mobilization, and there are quite a few people.

Now to engage in a decisive battle, Liu Jun thinks it is the next policy.

Just like the Chu army, the siege ability is outstanding, and the ability to defend the city is even more powerful, but the strength is limited, and if it is too scattered, it will be too thin. He still adhered to his past plan, controlled the sea power, and with the advantage of the warship's sea mobility, he was able to land on the coast at will, and with the advantage of guns, it can be said that the Qing army was not an opponent at all.

The Chu army did not have to rush to a decisive battle with the Qing army at all, and by taking advantage of this advantage, the Qing army could continue to bleed. You don't even have to fight any big battles with them, you can just relocate with them and clear the wilderness.

In the past six months since entering Liao, Liu Jun believes that the greatest result of the Chu army is not to capture a few cities, nor to annihilate tens of thousands of Qing troops and capture tens of thousands of Han troops, but to rob hundreds of thousands of people in the tens of miles of coastal areas originally controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The total population of the Qing people is only one million, and the millions of Han people under their control are still not a fraction of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had a population of hundreds of millions, and the population of the Qing Dynasty was only a few tenths.

The Chu army took away hundreds of thousands of their population, eroded their Shanggeli coast, and took away North Korea, and the blow was huge. Now the time is short, and it will not be visible for a while. But as long as it takes a few years, these attacks by the Chu army will make the Qing army extremely uncomfortable, and if this kind of attack continues for a few years, the Qing army will directly collapse economically.

In the final analysis, whether it is the army's food or salary, swords, arrows, armor and arrows, which do not need logistical support. Even the war horses and soldiers of the Qing army still need people to support.

With a population of several million, the Qing army could have a size of one or two hundred thousand. If the Qing army only has one million people left, it will be difficult for the 100,000 soldiers and horses to support it.

It's a pity that Chongzhen just refused to listen to Liu Jun, and he just had two messes of money in his hand, so he couldn't sit still.

had to fight hard with the Qing army, but all of a sudden, the little capital that Liu Jun borrowed from him was lost again. Now Chongzhen finally knew that he was afraid, and ordered Liu Jun to preside over the peace with the Qing army.

Chongzhen even gave Liu Jun a secret decree in order to make the peace successful, listing the peace chassis.

Exchange Liaodong for Liaoxi.

For such a discussion and bottom line, Liu Jun only wants to use two words to evaluate, stupid.

Now the role of Liaodong is much stronger than that of Liaoxi, with Liaodong in hand, the Qing army does not dare to go west with all its might, otherwise it may repeat the result of being in Shengjing by the Chu army again.

And if the Ming Dynasty exchanged Liaodong for Liaoxi, the Qing Dynasty would have no worries about Liaodong, and the Ming army would be able to hold it? Since the Qing army can break the pine brocade this time, of course it can next time. And even if the Qing army doesn't fight Songjin, they can completely detour to Mongolia, enter the pass from Xuanfu or even Jibei, and bypass the defense line in western Liao.

It is okay to negotiate peace, but Liaodong cannot give up, and Liu Jun's bottom line is to exchange Liao, Hai, Gai, and Fuzhou for Liaoxi, Zhenjiang and Lushun at most, and it is absolutely impossible to give up.

This is the bottom limit, and there is no change. If Qinglu refuses, Liu Jun doesn't mind promoting peace by fighting, and let the Tartars think about it seriously. (To be continued.) )
