"The Taoist is really a god and a man!" Gong Dingyu returned to the mansion and immediately set up a banquet to entertain his mastermind. It was this newly arrived Taoist priest who brought the song that made Dolgon particularly satisfied.

The man's eyes were half-closed and half-open, and Gong Dingxiao's appearance was also like looking at a disgusting mess of filth. Gong Dingyu didn't care, as long as this person could give him benefits, what was a little arrogance!

The Taoist priest didn't pay attention to the delicacies in front of him, and asked bluntly: "Please also ask the master to help me a little." ”

Gong Dingyu had a lot of money, Ha Lu smiled, and said: "When the Taoist is about to go, Gong will naturally have to prepare enough for the Taoist chief, but it's too early to say it now, right?" ”

"It's not early." The Taoist said coldly: "As soon as this Dao is sparse, Dolgon will inevitably transfer the Manchu Qing troops back to Beijing." When the time comes, once the Qin and Jin clans are gone, can the land of Shuntian be able to feed hundreds of thousands of troops? Moreover, the Ming court has already sent troops to Liaodong and reopened Dongjiang Town, can the Manchurians have the will to leave their hometown? ”

Gong Dingyu's hands trembled, and said secretly: Why didn't you make these things clear earlier?

He thought about it again, even if he didn't get it, others would do it, and instead of letting others benefit, it was better to grab the first prize himself. When I think about it, I am relieved.

"Sir, now that we have descended to the Qing Dynasty, we naturally want to be loyal to the king." Gong Dingxiao said.

"Mr. was not loyal to the Ming Dynasty back then, why did he become a loyal minister when he came to the captivity?" The man spoke without the slightest emotion, and the slap was crackling.

Gong Dingyu didn't blush, and said, "Time, life." I know that Mr. Lu Dao is not a true Taoist, but he just wears Taoist clothes and keeps all his hair. ”

"Is the gentleman going to tell the gossip?" Although the man said this, he was not afraid at all.

"Hahaha, where, where." Gong Dingyu said: "Gong Mou means. It's not really a matter of who to be loyal to. What does it matter if the surname Zhu is full? The key is how we can live well. ”

The man sighed secretly and said, "If you want to live well, it's better to leave early." ”

"Let's go? What does the gentleman mean, the Manchus really can't bear it? Gong Dingyu said unexpectedly: "Once the Manchu soldiers come back, there will always be more than ten thousand. To the south, there are no more than 20,000 or 30,000 people. I am afraid that the Qing troops will not be able to hit Jinan, and the Liaodong side may not be able to hit Shenyang. ”

"Do you think the Qing soldiers can really destroy the withering and decaying?" The man simply closed his eyes. seemed to be extremely reluctant to himself, and only then did he say: "Counting soldiers can't just count the number of people and the small number of people. The 100,000 people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, one has never practiced the formation, and the other has never practiced hard day and night, to put it bluntly, it is a group of rabble, but there are more hunting on weekdays, and there are some Orion skills.

"Man is not a beast. Now the Ming army in Beizhi has a well-founded advance and retreat, and its tactics are sophisticated. The weapons in his hands are far sharper than those of a full army. At that time, everyone said that the Tartar bow horse was invincible. Once Qi Wuyi arrived in Jizhen. The result? Fighting a war is not hunting, the two armies are opposite, only the one with a military heart like iron and a rainbow will win!

"Now that Beizhi has recovered most of it, can it afford to raise 100,000 soldiers? Since we can't afford to raise so many soldiers, where will the food come from? Where does the morale of the military begin? After the Taoist finished speaking, he stared at Gong Dingyu's fat face: "If you really want to live well, it's better to leave the land of right and wrong early." ”

"Now the south scolds me as a 'sinner in the Ming Dynasty and a thief in the imperial history'. I'm afraid the world is so big, there is no place for Gong to stand on it. "Gong Dingyu doesn't know about military affairs. was said by this person, as if the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was close in front of him, and his voice was extremely gloomy.

"There's still a place to go." That's humane.

"Where?" Gong Dingyu hurriedly asked.

"North Korea." "North Korea has always called itself Little China, and now it has a brotherly alliance with Dongyu. However, the people of this country have been influenced by our Chinese millennium, and their hearts are actually towards the Ming Dynasty. One should be regulated, and even the writing is the same as that of the Han land. You can cross the sea first and buy real estate and land. When the world is peaceful, I will come back. ”

Gong Dingyu hesitated: "The ...... of the outer land"

"Whether you go or not, the poor road is to go. Get the silver taels quickly, and don't delay. The Taoist straightened his waist and said it confidently.

Gong Dingyu knew that Dao couldn't keep this wandering Taoist. He ordered five hundred taels of silver to be sealed, and sent the man away.

It's just that the next day, Gong Dingyu sent someone to invite this person to come over to talk, but the innkeeper said that this person had already left.

The Gong family gave the boss a few pieces of silver, and asked for details, only to know that this person was really not an ordinary Taoist priest, and he also brought two female dependents with him, and those two female dependents were served by maids. One of them was also holding a one- or two-year-old boy, although he had only seen one time, but he was carved in pink and jade, and he wore a piece of mutton fat jade longevity lock with excellent color around his neck, obviously from a rich and noble family.

After Dolgon gave the order to shave his hair, many families did not want to shave their hair, but they were reluctant to give up their heads, so they had to become Taoist monks. These "Taoist priests" may not have Taoist beliefs, but because Taoism and Confucianism are one, they really have to catch the questioning, and they can all say the various classics of "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi" to the sky, which is more true than the true Taoists.

Although the Manchus were barbarians, they still had reverence for the gods and Buddhas, so they did not embarrass these clergy.

When Gong Dingyu saw that the Taoist priest said to leave, his heart was even more shaken, and he went home to discuss with his wife.

His wife's surname is Gu, her name is charming, and her name is Hengbo, but she is not ordinary.

Later generations have good deeds, and the eight beautiful and talented girls on the Qinhuai River are named "Qin Huai Bayan", and this Gu Hengbo is one of them.

said that she is not ordinary, because she is the only woman in the song who has a fate.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that courtesans and other lowly women cannot be married properly, otherwise they will be guilty of taking concubines as wives, and both men and women will be severely punished.

Therefore, in Daming, Gu Hengbo is just a concubine and cannot be a wife.

However, it was said that Gong Dingyu's original wife Tong was a virtuous woman, and because she had been named a "widow" by the Ming court, she refused to accept the title of the Qing court, and even refused to go north to Beijing, leaving her hometown in Hefei alone.

Gu Hengbo didn't care about the Ming court and the Qing court, and asked Gong Dingyu to give her the title, completing the leap from a prostitute to a wife.

It can also be seen that Gu Hengbo had a great influence on Gong Dingxiao.

Now that Gong Dingyu can't make up her mind, she naturally wants to go back and ask her.

"That Taoist priest is a person who does not know the times, and he has fled away from other places for the sake of fame. The husband has a wise way to protect himself, so what is there to worry about? Our family has not been determined to be a traitor and the first evil, what are you afraid of? Gu Hengbo was reluctant to give up his fate, and he was also afraid of North Korea in a foreign land.

"Yes, yes. I was almost frightened by the Taoist priest. Gong Dingyu suddenly rejoiced when he heard this: "I still have that 'heart pill'!" The newspaper that published the "Amnesty Decree" was called "Baoxin Pill" among the officials of the Han Dynasty in Beijing, and Gaine was able to surrender and save his life with the "Amnesty Decree".

Gong Dingyu is such a slippery head, how can he not save a copy at home?

Gu Hengbo smiled: "In this case, what else is there to be afraid of." It's a big deal to go back to Jiangnan in the future and be a rich man. ”

"Madame's words are very reasonable!" The gloom in Gong Dingxiao's heart dissipated one day a day, and he shouted and set up wine and music, just like in the past.

However, the changes in the current situation are unimaginable to Gong Dingyu.

October twenty-eight of the eighteenth year of Chongzhen. In the name of Shunzhi, Dolgon issued a holy decree and ordered Zilharang to lead the army of the Western Route to return to Beijing, leaving only Azig to stay in Datong, and all other places were abandoned. The soldiers of the Eight Banners will naturally not be soft on these lands to be "abandoned", and they will catch almost anyone when they see them, like locusts, leaving not an inch of grass in the places they pass.

Zhu Cihong immediately appointed Lin Tao as the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi and stationed in Xi'an; Zhao Liangdong is the chief soldier of Yulin. stationed in Yulin; Li Guo was the chief soldier of Ningxia and was stationed in Qingyang; Gao Yigong and Dang Shousu guarded Ganzhou, Lanzhou and other places, thus stabilizing the northwest region.

He also ordered Wu Sangui to move to Fufeng and Longxian counties, and not to go north. At the same time, the commander of the 3rd Guards Division, Tan Ning, the deputy division commanders Hui Xian, and Zuo Guangxian led the men and horses of the headquarters to cross the Hutuo River, and pursued the Qing army's rear guard all the way, and approached Datong before setting up camp and confronting Azig and Jiang Xuan. Niu Chenghu, deputy commander of the Third Division. He led the headquarters to cross the river and garrison Weinan to change the defense of Tongguan.

Sun Shuangbu, who was originally stationed in Tongguan by the 1st Mountain Division, was ordered to go south. Focus on garrisoning the Jingchu Mountains.

After this series of military orders was issued, all the troops moved. The smarter generals had already been prepared for the general situation in the military newspaper, and as soon as the military order arrived, they were ordered to be promoted. Decent generals can also complete their tasks within the time limit of the military order.

"Isn't there a single group of men and horses who want food to move?" Wu Sangui has now become a member of the Ming Dynasty again, but he has completely shaved his head. He originally wanted to lie in Xi'an to see the direction of the wind, but who knew that the crown prince of Ludao had a military order. The ministries did not delay in the slightest, so that he had to leave as soon as possible to make room for Lin Tao.

The subordinate generals were also quite dissatisfied, and they wanted to encourage Wu Sangui to mutiny, but who knew those talents and eunuchs sent by the General Training Department of Lu Dao. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Lu Dao poured into the soldiers, and he refused to accept the instigation, simply ignoring the kindness of the Wu family for raising them for so long.

"Dashuai, according to the last general's opinion, those people really shouldn't be allowed to enter the barracks!" Yang Kun, who has always followed Wu Sangui's train of thought, admonished: "Even those scribes recruited in Shaanxi should let them all get out!" A white-eyed wolf that can't be raised! ”

Wu Sangui's face was pale, and he did not speak. Now Haoge is already on his way to Jinan, and he has no chance to join the Manchus again. After thinking about it, he still despised the crown prince too much.

Everyone, including Wu Sangui, has an illusion: the crown prince favors Wu Sangui!

The reason why there is such an illusion is really because Wu Sangui was too good in the first half of his life. Think about it: who dares to break into the camp of a strong enemy with twenty or thirty horsemen? Even if it is compared to Zhao Zilong, it is not too much! Isn't such a heroic figure the easiest thing to be valued by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy?

However, they don't know what to do, Zhu Cihong is not simply sixteen or seventeen years old. On top of this, there is also the life experience and historical common sense of dozens of years old in the previous life.

Because of this asymmetry of information, no one has taken the crown prince seriously.

When the crown prince sent a trainer to count the number of troops and calculate the salary, and afterwards the amount was allocated, there was no deduction, which made Wu Sangui and his family suspicious, and they didn't expect that these powerless trainers would secretly encourage soldiers to confront their own generals.
