Chapter 344: Bitter Mouth

Tossing a few times like this, the sky is almost dawn, the old man has not slept all night, he is shocked and angry, his body and bones are inevitably very tired, and his spirit is inevitably a little weak, but when he sees his sons kneeling on the ground, the old man does not want to show a little tiredness, so he can only support himself and sigh and say: "You have also knelt for most of the night, and they are all flat, they all come to the side, and they have something to say." ”

"Erchen and other Emperor Amaroun, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

As soon as he heard the old man's tone, he softened, and the tense heartstrings of the elder brothers were slightly loosened, but they still didn't dare to be careless.

"The third child, you have always read poetry and books, and you are no stranger to historical facts. Li Zicheng, Nan Ming and other parties have strength and soldiers and horses, huh? ”

The old man looked around at the brothers, and then pointed to the name of the third master with a smile.

"Back to Huang Ama, when I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 126,000 people in armor, plus more than 41,000 soldiers of Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan, and the total strength was less than 170,000, and Li Zicheng's troops in Zhili were 1.1 million, plus the various departments of the Southern Ming Dynasty and regimental training in various places, the total strength of the Han side was not less than 3 million."

As soon as he heard the old man ask such a question, the third master's heart couldn't help but tremble, not that this question was difficult, but just a few days ago, Old Master Chen also asked him the same question, this is obviously not a "coincidence" The word "coincidence" can make sense, there is no doubt that all the reactions of the old man have basically been expected by Old Master Chen, this kind of ghostly calculation really makes the third master breathtaking, of course, the amazement is amazing, but the third master does not dare to have the slightest neglect, hurried out of the ranks, and gave the answer cautiously.

Ha, Daddy seems to be scared, interesting!

As the saying goes, knowing the son is more than the father, but this sentence is used on Hongqing, but it has to be reversed, no, the subtle changes in the third master's face have been hidden from everyone, and even the old man has never noticed the abnormality, but Hongqing knows at a glance that the third master is frightened, and he can't help but be happy in his heart, not for anything else, just because the reason why Old Master Chen would talk to the third master about such a problem is the result of Hongqing's instructions, and it is the old man who is guarded against such a hand, of course, Hongqing is actually not very sure that the old man will definitely ask about this kind of topic, but it is good to be prepared, no, the old man will really ask?

"That's a good point, 170,000 vs. 3 million, what a huge comparison, however, in the end, it was my Daqing who won, what is the reason for this, have you thought about it, huh?"

The old man had long known that the third master was well-read and strong, and he was not surprised that he could give such an accurate answer, and he did not say anything to praise him, so he just smiled and nodded, looked around at the brothers again, and asked a profound question.

"The Han people are cowardly, not as strong as our soldiers, and they are not in harmony with each other, so they are not the opponents of our Qing Dynasty."

Previously, the third master had already won the lottery, and the eighth master didn't want to be taken the lead by him again, so he replied first.

"Huh."

The old man was obviously not very satisfied with the eighth master's answer, but he didn't say anything about it, just smiled lightly.

"Emperor Ama Mingjian, the ministers thought that the Han people had no clear king, and they had been thinking about it for a long time, so as soon as our army arrived, they all looked forward to the wind."

"Huang Ama, the ministers thought that Li Zicheng was mediocre and incompetent, didn't know how to win people's hearts, and harmed the scholars in vain, so he lost the hearts of the people, so he was so defeated."

"Otherwise, Erchen thinks that Li Zicheng's defeat should be due to his arrogance."

……

Seeing the old man behaving like this, all the brothers came to the spirit and expressed their opinions, but no matter what the brothers said, the old man was all laughing and silent, and at the end, only the third master, father and son and the fourth master never spoke, and even the old sixteen, a guy who did not learn and did not know, shouted a few words, of course, it is just nonsense.

"Fourth, let's talk about it."

After everyone talked about it, the hall was quiet again, and seeing that the third master and the fourth master didn't have the slightest intention of standing up, the old man had to open his mouth and take the roll call.

"Back to the emperor's words, the sons thought that what the brothers said was reasonable, however, they thought that the defeat of the Han people should be due to the failure of the government decree, up and down centrifugation, and mutual suspicion, this article can be seen from the defeat of Shi Kefa to defend Yangzhou, at that time, Shi Kefa is already in danger, and Huang Zhen, who is close at hand, has sat idly by, not to help it with a soldier, but to steal the defeat of Shi Kefa, because of this, the Han people are fighting for their own situation, and how can they stop the courage of my eight banners."

The fourth master is not in a hurry to speak, there are two reasons, one is that he is not very sure in his heart, and the other is that he is also thinking about the place of the holy will, and now, all the elder brothers have already spoken, and the fourth master has already had confidence in his heart, and he is very confident when he answers the old man's question.

Oh, what a fourth master, he is really treacherous like a ghost, and his ability to figure out the Sacred Heart is really not bad, if we hadn't prepared for it, maybe this time he would really be in the limelight!

The fourth master's words are about to come down, it can be said that it is very clear, and it basically hits the direction of the sacred heart, I didn't see that although the old man did not open his mouth to comment, the smile on his face was obviously a little warmer than before, as for the other brothers, the eyes that looked at the fourth master at this time were already full of jealousy, even the third master's face changed slightly, only Hongqing was still calm, but he secretly sneered in his heart.

"Third child, what do you think?"

Although the old man greatly appreciated the fourth master's answer, he did not comment, but looked at the third master with a sideways face and asked with a smile.

"Emperor Ama Mingjian, the ministers thought that the words of the fourth brother were more comprehensive, however, what he said was only the appearance, and the root of it had not yet been reached, as far as the reason why my Eight Banners won the world, I thought that there were four reasons: First, the reason why the former Ming Dynasty was defeated was because of the lack of moral governance, the tyranny of expropriation, and the rampant eunuch party, the fierce party struggle between the DPRK and China, so that the people were not able to make a living, so they would be defeated by Li Zicheng; In addition, the former civilian guard system, which seems to have millions of soldiers, is all empty, the system is corrupt, there are no generals to adjust in an emergency, there are no soldiers available, and the people who are temporarily conscripted are untrained and have no combat power, and this military system is unfavorable, so it can not be defeated; Moreover, Li Zicheng's defeat lies in the fact that he was corrupted before he won the world, he was arrogant and arrogant, wantonly scraped the people's fat and people's ointment, and his habits did not change. Fourth, the decree of the king of the Ming and Tang dynasties did not work, and the generals supported the army and respected themselves, and the real puppet ear seemed to be huge, but in fact it was just a sand castle ear, and the water would undoubtedly collapse. From the above, it can be seen that the defeat of the Han people was not a defeat in battle, but a defeat in their own corruption. ”

The third master came prepared, and after saying something, it was obviously much clearer and more reasonable than what the fourth master said, and as soon as this kind of statement came out, the faces of the brothers were wonderful, there were those who were excited, and there were those who hated, but no one could find any flaws in the words of the third master.

"Well, the third said that it went to the root, the reason why the dynasties and dynasties were defeated was not defeated by the enemy, but by themselves, this truth will come out, and you all understand, but why do you want to tear each other down, today you kick me, tomorrow I will give you a punch, and now even the fake troop transfer has been rectified, next time is it true to transfer troops to kill each other? What is this not suicide? If you really want to make trouble until the collapse of my Daqing Society, will you be willing to wait? ”

The old man had a positive attitude towards the third master's analysis, but he didn't praise it much, but followed the third master's conclusion and extended it, and at the end, he sighed bitterly, and a series of questions were thrown out, pointing directly to the hearts of the elder brothers, trying to persuade the elder brothers not to make housework again.

"Huang Ama has taught me that his sons and ministers should keep it in mind and never dare to forget."

The fourth master was robbed of the limelight by the third master before, and his heart was very sour, but he didn't want to let the third master take the lead at this time, and before everyone reacted, he was already the first to express his position.

"Huang Ama, his sons and ministers should keep these lessons in mind, and they must work together to share the worries of Huang Ama."

Seeing that the fourth master had taken the lead, the eighth master was naturally not to be left behind, and also stood up and spoke impassionedly.

"Huang Ama rest assured, if anyone dares to do anything more, the first minister will not spare him!"

"Huang Ama, the sons and others will work hard to do their own errands, and they will never dare to live up to your expectations."

……

With the fourth master and the eighth master taking the lead, the brothers were happy to follow the proposal, and one said it better than the other, as for what they thought in their hearts, only God could know.

"If you can practice it, it will be a blessing for the community, and you will ...... it."

The old man is a shrewd individual, and he will not fully believe the statements of the elder brothers, but he did not expose it, but spoke bitterly again and woke up, but before he finished speaking, he saw a large internal guard rushing in with a worried face, his heart sank, and the words stopped, but he did not say anything to ask about it, but looked over with a slight frown.

"Your Majesty, the eighteenth elder brother has gone."

The Ouchi guard was covered with sweat, and it was obvious that he had come from a long distance, and when he saw the old man coming, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he had already rushed to the front, fell to his knees, and said in a trembling voice.

"What?"

Although he had a premonition, he really heard the bad news that the eighteenth elder brother was dead, the old man's heart still hurt heavily, he exclaimed, his body shook, and the person slowly fell backwards, until all the elder brothers were panicked, and they rushed over, either hugging the old man, or shouting anxiously, and the whole hall suddenly became a mess......
