Chapter 441: The Conqueror
Chapter 441: The Conqueror
Under the black fox fur cloak is a military uniform unique to the Dengzhou battalion, with long riding boots, an armed belt around the waist, and a tight collar.
The carriage was stopped fifty paces away, and this was not some kind of bullying of other orphans and widows, nor was it some fear of death. This is the posture that a winner should have, the posture that a loser must make. A woman with a white fox fur and a child in her arms got out of the carriage, walking slowly and steadily.
Three steps before the horse, the dressed woman knelt down and put down the child, and said to the child: "Fulin, kneel!" He even reached out and pressed the child's head. The poor child didn't understand anything, his eyes looked around, and when he was pressed to kowtow, he didn't forget to look at it. Children are innocent, but there are too many innocent people in this world. Since his father was a loser and a loser of a different king, it was up to his descendants and women to take their share of responsibility.
Chen Xie will not be soft-hearted on this issue, just as the Qing army will not be soft-hearted when it burns, kills, and plunders when it enters the customs. Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty won the world on the grounds of providence. Isn't the failure of this time and space providential? From the perspective of future generations, when the history of the Ming Dynasty came to the Southern Ming Dynasty, there was a chance to maintain a half of the country, but the decision-making group of the entire Southern Ming Dynasty was a group of scholars who liked to dream. The dream was woken up with a knife. In this time and space, why doesn't Huang Taiji have the dream of dominating the Central Plains? was only interrupted by Chen Xie's bayonet, not as in history, and died before he was rewarded.
Chen Xie is more aware of this woman's appearance. Is it like Yao Xueyin's pen. After really reading it clearly, Chen Xie was a little disappointed, and the novel really couldn't be believed. Mongolian women, visually, it is difficult to compare with the softness and grace of Jiangnan women. can't say that she doesn't look good, it depends on her personal aesthetics. At least in Chen Xie's opinion, it's very good, but it can't be compared with the description in the novel. That's pretty much it, the literati always like to exaggerate.
Even Qin Huai Bayan is taking a small path, which is still an aesthetic problem. This woman belongs to the top of the plump type. Missing the soft and delicate side. Of course, it's just a matter of appearance. In fact, this woman's mind is delicate, and after the death of Huang Taiji in history, she was able to make full use of the contradictions within the Manchurian elite to create a balanced overall situation after Shunzhi ascended the throne. I can't help but say that she is a very powerful character.
The two of them knelt down. Everyone a hundred paces away knelt down. Some of the men wept bitterly.
Chen Xie looked up at the person kneeling in the wind and snow in the distance. These people chose to come here for the only reason they wanted to be desperate. They do not see any despair of victory. The opponent is too strong. It's not hard to see why.
"Get up, take the kids back to the car, it's snowing." Chen Xie said lightly, and Bumu Butai said in a low voice: "Inspector Xie." Saying that, he got up, hugged the child and staggered to his feet, and the steady steps when he walked just now disappeared, just Chen Xie's words, Bu Mu Butai was like a heavenly sound.
The choice of surrender is undoubtedly difficult. But she didn't have a choice, because she wanted her children to live. The internal struggle within the Manchu Qing was no less fierce than the internal struggle of the Ming Dynasty, and it was even more bloody. Take refuge in Dordor? There is no need to think about it, she may be able to live, but her son is likely to die in an unknown manner. As a mother, it is understandable that she made such a choice for the sake of her children.
Chen Xie was somewhat surprised why these thousands of people would surrender with her.
"Slave and maid, please get on the overseer." Bu Mu Butai said in a low voice, Chen Xie raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said very simply: "Okay! ”
The carriage was very large, with doors up to two meters high, inlaid with various jewels, and the interior was lavishly decorated. This should be the carriage in which Huang Taiji traveled. The carriage was covered with a thick quilt with a fur layer as a carpet. There was a brazier lit in the middle, and when Chen Xie boarded the car, he frowned slightly as if he had thought of something, and he hesitated and got into the car. Two women knelt at the door of the carriage: "Welcome to the overseer!" ”
Chen Xie stood there, looking down at the two of them coming forward on their knees, and raised their feet in a gesture, and sure enough, they took off their shoes for themselves. Bumu Butai waited for Chen Xie to sit down in the middle position, and then followed into the car, and the child in his arms didn't know how to be afraid, and looked at Chen Xie curiously. said a sentence in his mouth, Chen Xie didn't understand, it should be Manchu.
Outside the car was the sound of Tatata's horses' hooves, Chen Xie's guards protected the car, and six horses pulled the carriage and moved slowly. The three women kneeling in front of them said neatly: "Thank you for the grace of the overseer, give the slaves and maids a place to stay." ”
Chen Xie smiled and said, "I gave you a place to stay, and at this moment, you still calculated me." Hehe, the official name of this car is not called a carriage, right? I got into this car, which is considered overstepping. ”
The three of them raised their bodies and immediately lay down again, saying: "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and the maid should die, purely to make the master feel comfortable." This is the identity of a slave, Chen Xie smiled and said: "Don't think about it so much, I will not establish myself as the king of Liaodong again." What I want, you won't understand. Get up, I don't care about that. ”
The three women are all up, and they all look good, but they are not related to the stunning beauty.
The wind and snow were still falling, and the wheels had left clear ruts in the earth. It was soon crushed by the horse's hooves, and it only took a night of heavy snow to cover it, and there was no sign of a huge carriage that had once passed.
The palace is still the same palace, but with a different owner. Chen Xie, who got out of the carriage, was not at all colored. A long time ago, Chen Xie knew that he was destined to be a winner. The motive for getting into the carriage was just to think of the pleasure that Huang Taiji's woman brought by letting herself fall, nothing more. The current Chen Xie will not put too much thought on women at all.
"This car, let people send it to Jingshi." Chen Xie explained, and this matter can be regarded as an end.
The three women and one child were settled in a courtyard in the backyard, and no one else was brought except for the personal maid. The others, all of them have other arrangements, and when the weather clears, they will be sent to Ximu City. There, like ordinary immigrants, these people had to build their own bunkers, farm or herd cattle to solve their livelihood problems. Chen Xie was polite, he didn't deprive these people of their private property, in fact, Chen Xie could do this, and he wanted to do it. In the end, the reason why I didn't do it was nothing more than to set an example. The steppe is too big, the northeast is too big, and it will take a long time to calm it down as quickly as possible, and it will take a long time to use force alone.
"Daishan, go further north, the outside of the pass is very large, before winter, there will be no new wars." After Chen Xie looked at the information on the table, he rubbed his eyebrows and spoke. Chang Shiren, who returned from the front, sat opposite and said with a smile: "Liaodong has a vast territory and a harsh environment. It is also a big test for our army. This year's winter came a little early, but fortunately, our army had already prepared, and the materials for wintering were fully prepared. Overseer, how are you going to settle these women? On the Jingshi side, you can't ignore the slander of villains. ”
Chen Xie smiled and said, "Superfluous! Now who do you think would dare to touch my thoughts? Not to mention anything else, these 100,000 tigers outside the gate are here, and I am safe wherever I go. You're worried. Think about it more, how to pacify Liaodong as much as possible, and then develop Liaodong. Don't look at this place as cold and tight, in fact, it's done, it's full of treasures. ”
"The overall situation in Liaodong has been decided, and the rest is nothing more than a matter of time. My proposition is to advance northward little by little, step by step. Along the way, the fortress is used as a support point, and the city is a garrison. In less than ten years, Liaodong can be determined. Chang Shiren is still very cautious.
"Now I'm worried about Wang Ben, this snow is down, I don't know when it will stop. When he left, he didn't carry much material, and the materials that were transported one after another were not too much. On the logistics side, we must hurry up to deliver supplies while the weather is good. Chen Xie frowned, still very worried about the situation on the grassland, after all, Wang Ben had to face Duoduo and the entire Chahar. In the vast grasslands, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army will be doubled. If the place is too big, there is a lot of room for manoeuvre. Wang Ben, who only has six A-shaped battalions, can hardly take care of the overall situation of the entire grassland.
"My lord, why don't you let He Xian go to the grassland too?" Chang Shiren made an opinion, and Chen Xie shook his head when he heard it: "It's not proper, He Xian went, the logistical pressure is too great." The affairs on the grassland have to be solved by the people on the grassland. We're just going to be helpers, that's all. Let's follow the original plan and increase some military assistance. In addition to muskets, everything else can be given, and try to satisfy the leading party of the Horqin tribe. ”
Chang Shiren didn't stay for long, and after the report, he hurried back to rest, and when the snow stopped, he had to rush back to Anlezhou. In the future, the Northeast can be said to be walking on two legs, and militarily it will advance northward in an orderly and gradual manner. In terms of people's livelihood, it is mainly to build roads and resettle people's bunkers, and restore production. After the Guanning army was stationed in Tongliao, it was a relatively stable situation.
Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Guanning Army, Chang Shiren will still be uneasy. But this is not something he can decide, and a few words of persuasion are not what he should say. Chen Xie's consideration, although the combat effectiveness of the Guanning army is average, it is no problem to defend the city. This point, just look at Shanhaiguan, the entire Guanning defense line, after the Jingshi was broken by Li Zicheng, has been relatively intact.
After dealing with a few official letters, Chen Xie got up and went to the bedroom where he was resting. The huge palace, Chen Xie doesn't like it, how many places can a person live? Chen Xie is in the palace, basically in a courtyard, and the so-called main hall has never been there. Just stay in a yard, need to take care of official business, go to the study, need to rest, go to the bedroom. (To be continued......)
