The land of Gyeonggi at this time.

It was already snowy, so cold that even the man-eating wild dogs shivered and hid in the cave, staring at the field a hundred paces away with a pair of crazy eyes.

Now.

A group of cavalrymen brandished their swords and chased the Han people in front of them.

This group of cavalry is Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry.

A battle down.

Wu Sangui can only rely on killing more heads to get more silver from his slave master, Dolgon, to supplement his military needs.

And the lean old thieves are mostly fast.

Only these innocent Han people in front of them can be filled.

Wu Sangui didn't feel guilty at all, and now he seemed to have regarded himself as a member of the Great Qing Dynasty, and he was always the first to charge into battle, and he was very respected by Dorgon.

Although, in the future, with his inflated desire for power, he will once again raise the banner of anti-Qing Dynasty.

But at least for now, he doesn't have that idea yet.

Thieves are no different from ordinary people, not to mention, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no better than the Ming Dynasty, and no one cares whether you kill real thieves or real people.

A common man in front of him ran half a step slower.

Wu Sangui immediately slashed at it, and blood splattered three feet in an instant.

The snow-covered ground was sprinkled with a layer of bright red blood, which also left Wu Sangui's lifelong sins.

"Dashuai, three thousand heads have been killed now, do you think you still need to continue?"

Wu Sangui's personal soldiers asked.

"No need, leave some for Prince Ying", Wu Sangui said and rode back, seeing the majestic capital in the distance.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of Chen Yuanyuan, who went south with Zhu Youzhen, and then thought of the letter that Chen Yuanyuan wrote to him, he couldn't help but feel heartache like a knife, and let out a long roar: "Zhu Youzhen, next year I will ask for orders to go to Jiangnan to punish you, a faint king!" ”

And at this time, on the vast Beizhili Great Plain, it was not only Wu Sangui's iron cavalry chasing and killing the unarmed people.

A group of people who had just escaped from under Wu Sangui's butcher's knife were encountering even more ferocious Tartars at this time.

Among them, one of them is none other than Azig, who had just been named Prince of Ying by the Manchu court.

Azig shot the group to the ground one by one, leaving only four or five teenagers: "Take it back and be my clothed minions." ”

Shang Kexi, who surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty like Wu Sangui and was named King Zhishun, did not have the slightest pity for these Han compatriots, let alone hatred, and gave a thumbs up with a flattering face: "The archery skills of the prince are comparable to those of Li Guang, the flying general of the Han Dynasty. ”

Azig didn't appreciate it, snorted and rode away.

At this time, the children of the Eight Banners were rushing the people in the capital to the outside of the city.

According to the regulations of the Qing Dynasty, Han Chinese who were not registered as banners were not allowed to live in the city, and could only engage in commercial activities.

Therefore, the family business of the residents in the capital will naturally be forcibly occupied.

It is not only the family business that is occupied, but also the fields outside the city that are occupied, and even people are hunted and killed as prey, or forced into slavery.

This kind of thing is not only happening in the capital, but also in other cities in the north such as Taiyuan and Datong.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhending, Hejian and other prefectures south of Baoding City, as well as northern regions such as Shandong and southern Henan were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, such a tragedy of enclosure and slaughter has not yet been staged in the whole territory of China.

However, by the beginning of spring next year, it is completely unpredictable how many counties in the capital of Huaxia Prefecture will fall into the hands of the Tartars and be colonized and plundered by them.

Zhu Zhaoming, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shandong Theater, the right governor, and the emperor's sister-in-law, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to look at the Han people who were wantonly killed by the Tartars outside the city.

At the same time, he watched helplessly as these people knelt down under the walls of Baoding.

The people inside the city watched the tragedy outside the city with horror and rejoice.

No one knows when these rampant Tartars and Han 0 traitors will attack Baoding City in the next moment.

Scouts are rampant in the area of Hejian Mansion and Baoding Mansion, and the Tartars are also cutting down trees in this area while arbitrarily slaughtering Han people, not only to keep warm in winter, but also to prepare for the southward march of the iron horse next year.

And Zhu Zhaoming on the Ming side didn't dare to be careless, in order to prevent the Tartars from getting in, she could only close the city gate, but at the same time, she also secretly sent scouts to detectives everywhere.

To the south of Baoding City, Zhu Zhaoming ordered people to plant trees, dig trenches, and dredge rivers in an attempt to block the Tartar iron cavalry in the future.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

are all waiting for this heavy snow to melt.

The howling north wind, though bitterly cold, is also peaceful.

Li Zicheng patted the snowflakes on his body and the loess from Guanzhong, and stared at the faint green in the south with his falcon-like eyes.

"Your Majesty, the land of Jingxiang is in front of you, after Jingxiang, take Jiangnan like exploring and taking things, when the time comes, we can still sit on half of the country."

Niu Jinxing waved a goose feather fan and said: "Moreover, it is reported that Zuo Liangyu has recently withdrawn his troops from Wuchang, and it seems that he is also the same as His Majesty, and he wants to compete with the Ming Court. ”

Li Zicheng nodded obediently and approvingly, he had long been fed up with the days of being chased by Tartars in the bitter cold land of the north, and he had long been eager to fight to the south and seek revenge on those Jiangnan gentry.

Only Li Yan couldn't help sighing, and said secretly: "After Emperor Chongzhen went south, no matter how rotten the Ming Dynasty was, it was a hundred-legged insect that died but not stiffened, and Zuo Liangyu would undoubtedly be defeated even if he really used the unrighteous teacher Qingjun side, and when the time came, I was only afraid that it was the Tartars who would benefit from the fisherman, and God intended to destroy my Huaxia!" ”

……

At this time, Wuchang City can really be described as a large army gathered, with a battalion for 800 miles.

Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang City couldn't help coughing three times, and a residual red appeared on his pale face.

But he, like Dolgon, Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng and others, was also staring at the south with burning eyes.

"The imperial court let He Tengjiao be the governor, but let me be the chief soldier, but Lu Daqi, Sun Yuanlun and other incompetent people can be the governor and the chief military officer, and even Gao Jie, a rogue, can sit on Su Song, it can be seen that the court can't tolerate me!"

Zuo Liangyu said and punched the beam with indignation.

Nanjing Gongsheng Li Youlong hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Uncle, don't be angry, this is a secret letter from the prince to the second assistant Gao Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao, now the traitors in the court are in charge, Ma Shiying and others are in the cabinet, which can be described as the black sheep, and there is a thief Gao Jie who scourges Su Song, and the people are uneasy, so the prince has an edict, I hope you will take the Jiangshan Sheji as your mind, enter the Beijing Qing monarch's side, kill the traitorous ministers, and revitalize the dynasty." ”

Zuo Liangyu is now sending a reason to enter Nanjing and control the government, and now when he saw Li Youlong presenting this secret letter, he immediately took it excitedly, and after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Please reply to the elder, although Zuo Liangyu is just a general, but he can't bear to be a traitorous minister, and in February next year, he will spend a million troops on the side of the Qingjun, and hope that His Royal Highness the prince and the elder will respond with the city." ”
