The atmosphere inside Fort Victory was dreary, dreary like a winter wilderness.

Lu Xiangsheng manipulated the thread in his hand, and Zhai Zhe was a dancer in shackles. In the Ming Dynasty, unless the army is led by the general army, there is no possibility for the military general to want to be autocratic, especially under the command of a governor like Lu Xiangsheng. The power of the general army in a town is also very limited, such as Hu Dawei does not have much binding power on Jiang Pai and Zhai Zhe, and the superintendent in charge of food and salary controls their lifeline. There is no place where the heavy cavalry is not silver, every knight is the elite of the elite, Zhai Zhe has been reluctant to use it all these years, and he was distressed after being transferred.

At the send-off banquet, Lei Yanqian was very modest, saying that he was grateful to Zhai Zhe for taking care of him over the years, but those who were familiar with him could see the unconcealed happiness in his eyes. After being promoted and getting rid of the Shangguan he hated the most, it is foreseeable that the friendship between the two will basically end here. Xiao Zhiyan was drunk, Zuo Ruo didn't have any special reaction, he didn't even show that he was more enthusiastic than others. Everyone will follow the path of their own choice, and what was once a brother is not a heart now.

After Lei Yanqian left, Meng Kang's words were much less, and it was also a kind of loneliness to lose people who didn't like it. Zhai Zhe stayed with Liu Suifeng most of the time, and secretly didn't know what he was discussing, which made Xiao Zhiyan's heart rise again, and he had an unspeakable wariness of Liu Suifeng, a literati.

"It's Lei Yanqian today, I don't know who it will be in a few days?" Liu Suifeng's hand fell on the chessboard with a crisp sound.

Even Zhai Zhe didn't understand why Liu Suifeng's antipathy to the imperial court was so intense, his whole family died at the hands of thieves, although the family property was embezzled by the gentry in collusion with the government, but he was born as a son of a Ming official eunuch.

"With Lei Yanqian, Duke Lu won't put any more pressure on me for the time being, he just wants me to work for Daming." Zhai Zhe watched it for a long time before putting down the sunspot in his hand. His chess skills have improved rapidly, especially the layout, which impresses Liu Suifeng, but the details still need to be carefully crafted.

"In fact, being able to suppress thieves is also a way out." Liu Suifeng said casually, "Xuanda is barren, Mongolia is weak, and foreign races are unreliable after all." ”

"I have my own idea!" Zhai Zhe interrupted him.

It's easy to say such a thing from Liu Suifeng's mouth, if he wants to make a decision, he will move the whole body, and if he is forced to do so, who can give up the foundation he has created single-handedly. There are more and more people who are attached to him, such as Liu Suifeng, Zuo Ruo and Xiao Zhiyan all have their own ideas, Zong Mao, Feng Qin and others are still very young, and they will inevitably have their own ideas in the future, but he is the one who is really at the helm. Let others work for you, not be swayed by other people's thoughts. The reason why I like to play chess with Liu Suifeng is because when I talk to him, I can get some new ideas, which others in the army can't reach.

The days of nesting at home for the winter pass quickly, and it will be the Spring Festival in a dozen days, this year's income of the business alliance is very good, Zong Mao is busy with dividends to a few firms that inserted shares in the early stage, and the Cao family in Luzhou can get 20,000 taels of silver. Luzhou's crude iron has always been the most profitable part of the Shangmeng's trade in the grassland, and the Shangmeng let the Cao family insert shares, and it has also benefited a lot from the business of operating ironclad weapons.

Since Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Xuanda, the situation in the two border towns of Xuanfu and Datong has changed greatly, and the phenomenon of poor people and guards fleeing into the grassland is rare again. One is because the Mo Nan grassland has been in war for many years, and the situation that was once stable is no longer there, and the second is that food prices have fallen, and the people's lives are better.

For three days of heavy snowfall, the snow was very thick when the weather was clear, and a pair of knights appeared on the official road from Beijing City to Xuanfu, and the horses were steaming, and the Jinyi Weiti rode eager to break the whips of the horses.

The hurried iron hooves woke up the tranquility of Xuanda all the way, and the knight immediately changed horses every time he arrived at a post station, because of the slippery road in the snow, it took nearly two days for Tiqi to arrive at Yang and Wei from the capital. The Pegasus of the Jinyi Guard rushed into the gate of Yang Hewei, and a layer of ice and snow was frozen on his trouser legs. After dismounting, the knight did not have time to catch his breath and hurried into the governor's palace.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Lu Xiangsheng was busy putting up the incense case to receive the order, he hadn't gotten any rumors before, and he didn't know what the news was, so he was a little uneasy in his heart.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the two white flags of the Qing soldiers and horses broke the wall of the Ziling Great Wall on December 13, and the two red flags and the yellow flag broke through the Qingling Pass on December 15, and the governor of Jiliao, Wu Aheng, died in battle, and the Beijing division was in trouble, and ordered Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, to mobilize soldiers and horses into the king of Jingqin."

Jin Yiwei's anxious words came to Lu Xiangsheng's ears word by word, making his already pale face become bloodless, like snow outside the door.

"Lord Lu, it's an urgent matter, please transfer troops!" Jin Yiwei handed over the holy decree to Lu Xiangsheng.

"What's going on?" Lu Xiangsheng muttered in his mouth, but he had not recovered from the shock. The Qing army retreated from the Monan grassland in August, how could it attack the Great Wall in Layue without warning.

"The day before yesterday, the snow was heavy, the governor of Jiliao, Lord Wu, went out to enjoy the snow and drink, drank a little too much, and attacked the Great Wall at night, no one could mobilize troops and horses to support, and was broken through the border fortress by the Qing captives, when the governor of Wu woke up, Dolgon led two white flag armies into the fortress, and defeated the defenders in Miyun County, and the governor of Wu died on the battlefield." This brocade guard knows a lot, and tells Lu Xiangsheng in detail.

"Wu Aheng was drunk, and the Qing captives raided overnight, which is undoubtedly a long-planned plan!" Lu Xiangsheng's back was cold, and even he underestimated Huang Taiji in Liaodong.

In recent years, after the defense of Xuanda was stabilized, there were not many ways for the Qing to deal with the Ming Dynasty. The border of Jiliao Town is not inferior to Xuanda, and the defense line of Shanhaiguan is stable, if it is not for this opportunity, it is not easy for Qingyu to enter the customs, I am afraid that Wu Aheng's drunkenness will not be so simple. Thinking of this section, Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts naturally turned to the Jindi businessmen who had hooked up with Qing Yu, although those people seem honest now, they may jump out at any time and bite Xuanda, thinking about it, those people still can't stay.

The knight of Jinyi Wei didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng in front of him had turned so many thoughts, and then said: "Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, the people of Beijing are waiting at home for the Spring Festival, and now the official road is full of fleeing people, the weather is cold, and there are often frozen dead people on the roadside, please invite Lord Lu to enter Beijing." ”

"I'll gather the soldiers and horses!" Lu Xiangsheng came to his senses and ordered Yang 6 Kai to place the exhausted Jinyi Wei to rest first.

Yang Hewei turned from quiet to busy in an instant, and one after another fast horses rushed out of the city gate and rushed to all parts of Xuanda Town. With such weather and road conditions, it will take half a month for the soldiers and horses of Xuanda Town to gather and enter the Beijing Division at the earliest.

Qing captured many cavalry, good at field warfare, Lu Xiangsheng knew his own situation, mainly foot soldiers, this battle can not be impatient, only by waiting slowly for the fighter plane, can you win. But will the emperor of the capital understand his suffering? From the moment he received the edict of King Qin, he fell into an inextricable anxiety and could not sit still. Since he became the governor of Xuanda, what he was most afraid of was that the Qing captives entered Kou Gyeonggi, and in the field battles around the city of Beijing, he seemed to have a sharp blade hanging above his head, and the initiative on the battlefield was all in the hands of the Qing captives.

The soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu were assembled first, and the scouts entered the Beijing division to inquire about the military situation. There were 60,000 or 70,000 cavalry in the Qing army, all of whom were Jurchens of the Eight Banners, and if Lu Xiangsheng did not wait for the soldiers and horses of Shanxi and Datong to gather and enter Gyeonggi first, it would be equivalent to a drop in the bucket. Xuanda Town has the most soldiers and horses in Shanxi, but the garrison of Shanxi Town is the farthest away from the capital.

Three days after receiving the holy decree, an urgent document from the Ministry of War was sent to the city of Beijing, and the Beijing division was anxious like ants on a hot pot, all pointing to the soldiers and horses of Xuanda Town to save their lives.

Outside the city, there were many beacons on the vast snowfield, and the fleeing people only had time to carry a burden and staggered south along the official road. The weather is cold, **** is unbearable, and the slightly weaker people can't support it and fall on the side of the road after a few days.

After attacking the Great Wall, the two armies of the Qing Dynasty were led by Dolgon and Du Du respectively, and they were not in a hurry to march into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but broke through the three county towns in two ways, and burned and looted in the direction of Tongzhou on the outskirts of Beijing, hoarding materials for the use of the army. Compared with the hardships of conquering Mongolia, the capture of the Ming Dynasty was much richer.

The weather was sunny and cloudy, and the roads were muddy due to the melting of snow during the day, and freezing solid at night. The cavalry followed the whereabouts of the Han people fleeing, and there were no Ming soldiers and horses to defend against the enemy. On the 15th day after entering the Ming Dynasty, two armies and horses met in Tongzhou and looted the military rations that maintained the army for two months.

Tomorrow is the Spring Festival of the Han people, and Dolgon and Du Du also warmed a pot of wine in the big tent to celebrate. This kind of weather is unbearable for the Han people, but it is actually nothing to those in their army who have lived in the remote mountains and forests of Liaodong.

In the land of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty, Dolgon was very well informed, and half of this was due to Yue Tuo's credit. At that time, Yue Tuo was ordered to take charge of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty in Monan, and buried countless dark lines in Xuanda, Jiliao and Gyeonggi. In Xuanda, the eyeliner was temporarily reined in because of the blow of the eight families, but Jiliao and Gyeonggi were still unimpeded, otherwise how could they enter the customs so smoothly. The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and Dolgon could occasionally think of the benefits of Yueto, but it was a pity that he was in danger.

"The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty mobilized Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, to come to King Qin, and Xuanda Town has repeatedly ruined my good deeds in the Qing Dynasty over the years, and it's time to repay him!" Dorgon took a sip, his face shining with a sense of pleasure as if he had succeeded in revenge.

"Those soldiers and horses defending the city in Xuanda Town may be able to fight, if you want to fight in this land of ice and snow, how can you be the opponent of my Qing warriors!" Du Du should be he. After joining forces, he was the deputy commander, and the movement of the army was at the mercy of Dolgon.

Attacking the border pass of the Ming Dynasty and seizing enough military rations, Dolgon's heart was mostly at ease. This year's expedition to Mongolia, the Qing Dynasty lost countless grains and grass, and Zheng'er did not fight a battle, if it was not found here in the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong's life would not be easy.

"The Ming army has no power in field battles, and Lu Xiangsheng is just the second Yuan Chonghuan!" Dolgon sneered, "Let's see how I make Lu Xiangsheng exhausted. ”
