Every time Zhu Cihong sees the fresh name of "Chongzhen Eighteen Years", he has a slight sense of achievement. In any case, Daming has only been in his hands for nine months, and there have been obvious stop-loss signals.

What will happen in another nine months?

There would be four or five batches of recruits into the battalions, enough for him to build four divisions.

More laborers and laborers will be involved in construction, paving hardened roads to the front lines.

More and more people will receive first-class diplomas, and diplomas such as C and D will even be widely available in villages.

Administrative talents can meet the grassroots leadership positions in the five provinces, and the fresh atmosphere brought by fresh blood can make the northern Ming Dynasty look new.

……

So, everything is just a matter of time.

Dorgon was also counting time. It has been nearly eight months since the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and in these eight months, the Qing soldiers finally defeated half of Shanxi and the whole of Shaanxi, but the Ming army in the south of Kifu really made him like a fish in the throat and a thorn in the back. In particular, neither Abatai nor Hong Chengchou were able to achieve even a single village victory on the South Road, which made him feel a strong sense of foreboding.

Fortunately, he listened to Sukh Saha's words and gave up the hot ass seat to Zilharang. Now Zilharang is bound to ride a tiger, and while suffering from the suffering of the Southern Route Army, there are also successes from the Western Route Army.

"Master, Prince Zheng is here." The valet whispered behind Dolgon. In his eyes, his master is more and more likely to get angry because of small things, and even louder voices may anger him, so he has to be careful.

"Nope." Dorgon waved his hand in disgust.

"How is the prince's body!" A neutral voice barged in, Zilharang was one of the regent after all, and naturally knew the truth of breaking in.

Dolgon looked angrily towards the door, and sure enough, he saw Zilharang's temples gray, and he pretended to be calm. Behind Zilharang was a sturdy figure. is a head taller than ordinary people, and it is the worship of the Huangtai who gave the name "Baturu".

This can't blame the palace guards for not being able to stop Zilharang.

"Slave worship, please say hello to Lord Rui." Ao Bai threw his sleeves forward, knelt down on one knee, and made a greeting salute.

This kind of Ming military salute has become a common etiquette in Manchuria.

When Dolgon saw Ao come up, he relented, and his heart was a little more relaxed. And he saw Zilharang come forward. wanted to meet him, so he also went close, and the two hugged him lightly before parting.

"Is Lord Rui's body good?" Zilharang looked sincere.

Dolgon invited the two of them to sit down, leaned back in his chair, pretended to be short of breath, and said, "It's better, but I'm afraid I won't be able to ride the horse in the future." ”

"Lord Rui has not been in good health since he was a child, and this time he was fortunate to enter the customs. You can find a few famous doctors to take a good look. Zilharang has been fostered in Nurhachi's family since he was a child, and he has a good relationship with Nurhachi's sons, and it is also warm to say this at this moment, which calms Dorgon's irritable heart.

It is precisely because of this that Dolgon, who is known for his cleverness, is willing to answer his words and say: "The situation in the Kannai is now anxious. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Zilharang sighed heavily, all the heroic spirit he had just held up was gone. He didn't hide it from Dolgon, saying: "Now the south can't open the situation, and Shanxi can't fight it." Shaanxi is better, but no matter how you look at it, there is a danger of being cut off. Alas. I wonder when the prince will come back to see things? Brother, I really can't take it anymore. ”

"I think it's a good fight, and it's good if the south doesn't play. It can stabilize the west and connect with Mongolia, and it will be able to advance and retreat by itself in the future. Dolgon said.

"Lord Rui," Zilharang said no longer in hiding. "The first Khan, the foundation laid by the first emperor, finally carried forward in the hands of the prince, so that I occupied Zhu Ming's hometown in the Qing Dynasty. Brother, I don't want to just quit the bitter cold outside the border. You also know that the crops outside the customs have not been able to support them all these years. Many horses and children die every winter. Now that he can go to such a good place, Zhu Shen is unwilling to retreat. ”

"The Ming Dynasty has fifteen provinces in the world, and we only have 100,000 people, even if we defeat it, we can only rely on those Nikans to defend it." Dolgon sighed: "But Nikan is too timid to fight, and the defenders scatter as soon as they see the army coming. Besides, even if life is too good now, every family has a coat and can eat enough, how many people in Zhushen are willing to go out to fight? ”

"In the past, every Niu Lu sent people to grab the west, and they said good things to follow. Now they have to make up some surplus, and you see whether they are willing or not. Zilharang was also quite helpless, implying resentment. However, he came this time to persuade the two white flags to abandon their previous suspicions and send troops together, and then his tone changed: "Now that spring is about to bloom, Nikan is also going to spring ploughing, and it is estimated that there will be no more fighting." You see, if we don't take down the whole of Shanxi in one go, we will guard until the grain is ripe. ”

"With my body, I guess I won't be able to go on the expedition." Dorgon shook his head.

"Azig, Dord, are good at fighting." Zilharang Road.

"Lord Wang, the slave has just returned from the west, and those rebellions are really vulnerable, whether it is the prince of Ying or the prince of Yu, they will definitely be able to be captured." Ao Bai also beat the side drum.

"Can Haug handle them both?" Dorgon said casually.

Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and it is no problem to suppress Luo Luohun, Nikan, and Yue Le. However, Azig and Duoduo are both the beloved sons of the old Khan Nurhachi, and they hold the most elite Manchurian Niulu in their hands, and they want them to obey Hauge's command, isn't it impossible to think about it? Not to mention Hauge, even Abatai on the South Road can't suppress these two sisters-in-law.

"Will Hauge listen to Azig?" Dorgon asked again.

I guess not. Especially this time, it was rumored that Hauge and Dorgon were competing to marry the queen mother, and the contradiction between the two white flags and the two yellow flags became deeper and deeper. The most annoying thing is that even if the Queen Mother did not marry anyone, some people said that the Qing court was afraid of the Ming Dynasty's accusations and did not dare to marry. Especially with the fact that the south road hit the iron plate, this theory seems to have a tendency to spread.

"I'll go myself!" Zilharang finally crashed into Dolgon's pocket: "I think the King of England and the King of Yu still have to give me this little face." ”

Dolgon patted the armrest lightly: "Who is in charge of the court?" ”

"Who else but you?" Zilharang said: "But I still have to take Sony and them with me, I'm afraid you will have to work harder." ”

Dolgon looked at Aobai, and when he saw that Aobai did not react, he knew that it was Zilharang and the two yellow flags that had reached an agreement. Just looking at the huge concession of the two yellow flags this time, we know that Shanxi has to be flattened. Otherwise, tens of thousands of troops will gather in Shaanxi, and the supply will be unstable, and there will inevitably be chaos.

Speaking of supplies, Dolgon has a headache, the Grand Canal was cut off from the south by the Ming Dynasty, how can I buy food here!

"The army is put into the west road, out of Tongguan, fighting Henan, Huguang, as long as you get there, there will be food." Zilharang said: "Sitting in the north, there is only one dead end. ”

"The Ming army is not easy to fight......" Dolgon sighed bitterly.

"They don't necessarily have strong troops everywhere, do they?" Jierharang doesn't believe in heresy: "I heard that the south road is opposite the guard camp of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, which is almost equal to our Bayala camp, can it not be powerful?" However, I am afraid that the west side does not have such a strong army, otherwise the Ming Dynasty can end up in this situation? ”

"It's fine," said Dolgon, standing up, "no matter which flag, everyone is an ancestor, and you still have to hold together when it's time to be together." This time, whether I stay in the customs to eat meat, or retreat to the customs to eat cakes, it all depends on Zheng Wangye! ”

"Brother, I can only do my best." Zilharang himself felt a little lacking in confidence: "But this time the army's grain and grass ......"

"Let's collect grain from Kisuke. When I was old Khan, I was more difficult than now, didn't I come over? Dorgon pretended to be relaxed.

Nurhachi also had no food in the most difficult time, and he was afraid that the people would rebel, so he came up with an idea: to kill those who had no food.

If the Han people in Liaodong could not get together six or seven buckets of rice per mouthful, they would be marked as people without food, and then these unstable factors would be killed. In this way, the rest of the population is a man with food, which can be further squeezed. And the people who have no food are all dead, so naturally no one will rebel.

The price of grain in Shaanxi rose to 16 taels and 1 stones, so the peasant army surged and rebelled vigorously. The price of grain in Liaodong was twenty-four taels and one stone at that time, but no one rebelled.

When Emperor Chongzhen said bitterly, "A thief is also a child", Nurhachi was shouting "You are all sorry for me", and then wielded a butcher's knife to kill three million Liao people to only more than 200,000.

This may be the reason why barbarism always triumphs over civilization. (To be continued......)
