.“ At the end of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, a small teaching shield knife gathered in the "big camp", and the instructor's voice gradually became hoarse: "The emperor has a will." Each battalion of 5,000 men is a team, and they occupy the prefectures and counties, capture any Manchurians, seal the treasury, and open the rice warehouse.

At the gate of the battalion, the guerrilla attacks of the battalions have made people erect the banner of the camp, more and more Ming soldiers began to assemble with a few days of rations on their backs, the main force of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners has been completely annihilated, and now there are only some scattered green battalions left in Jiangbei, and the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi has also died, what to do now is to recover all the land south of the Guannai as soon as possible, and try to take over the prefectures and counties as much as possible, just in case, in order to receive as soon as possible, the three battalions of the five major army corps all acted separately.

And Zhu Jun's stick also began to withdraw to the direction of Fengyang, in Fengyang City, Zhu Jun saw Wang Fuchen who came to ask for surrender, for this ungrateful bastard, Zhu Jun was "kind words to comfort" and then ordered to receive the Northwest Cavalry, all the Northwest Army generals were required to be sent back to Nanjing. And these cavalry from the northwest stayed.

Wang Fuchen's dream of being a vassal king has long since vanished, and now he only wants to save his life, as for the Northwest Army. He didn't dare to expect to be commanded by him, but he honestly really gave out the military power, and other generals, including Daniel Zhang, this Xuan also lost his previous sharpness and handed over the military power of his headquarters one after another. was honestly escorted to Nanjing by a team of Ming troops.

Before leaving, the officers who were guarding Wang Fuchen and others going south were called by Zhu Jun into the central capital Miyagi, and Zhu Jun's explanation to him was: "Try to do some tricks on the boat when crossing the river, I don't want to see them, understand?"

The officer understood, and promised to go.

And the 30,000 Northwest Iron Cavalry who left the bundle, Zhu Jun did not kill them, for them, the soldiers are blindly obedient, no matter how bad they are, they are just those officers, the soldiers of the Northwest Army who were disarmed received the holy decree of the Ming Emperor, all of them were pardoned, and then they were given military salaries according to the treatment of ordinary soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and began to reorganize. Three days later, they will also leave for Nanjing for a year-long military exercise.

The reason why it takes longer than the training time of the new army is because they will become a special class of troops in the Ming Dynasty. Their legion will be transformed into the Royal Dragoons, and over the course of a year's training, they will not only strengthen their equestrian skills, but also undergo grueling fire shooting and a small amount of sword fighting. They will become the first special army of the Ming Dynasty, in the future, they will ride on horses, in the gallop of war horses with fire mirrors to shoot the enemy, Zhu Jun understands that in Europe, the Netherlands has long appeared in the lancer troops, but this kind of cavalry is more infantry on horses, the only exception is the Swedish county king Gustav II's lancers, they have undergone harsh training, and have become the nemesis of ordinary cavalry. This type of cavalry is extremely demanding, requiring not only superb riding skills, but also shooting enemies with fire locks on horseback, and drawing long swords to fight enemies in close combat.

In fact, the concept of dragoons has existed as early as the Mongol era, but at that time the fire mirror was not popular, and the Mongolian cavalry was best at riding and shooting, and Zhu Jun just replaced the archers with lancers. Those people on horseback are proficient in mounted archery, and if they simply use infantry to fight, they will not be able to kill them all, and the only way is to ride them. However, although the Ming Dynasty formed cavalry, it was not the opponent of the nomads in terms of individual soldier quality, so the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty could only be used as an auxiliary branch of the infantry, and the nomadic cavalry should be restrained. Dragoons are the best plan that Zhu Jun thought of, the advantage of the nomads lies in their personal qualities, they climb on horseback since they were young, and they began to shoot arrows at the age of five, these are not the advantages that the Han people can match, and the advantage of the Han people is firearms, in this case, then the combination of firearms and cavalry will not be better than those nomads who shoot on horseback

Difference.

The only thing that was needed was to train this special cavalry fiercely, to tempt them with a good salary, to encourage them with the propaganda of the instructors, and to torture them with the most cruel methods of scraping.

As for the governor of the dragoon regiment, named Bai Cheng, this person turned out to be one of the four generals of the Mu family in Yunnan, and he assisted Mu Jianming in the Shenji battalion that year, and then he was transferred to the scout battalion as an officer. After all, Mu Tianbo is the assistant of the court, Mu Jianming is the governor of the legion, if there is another family that will become the governor, then half of the military and political power of the Ming Dynasty may fall into the hands of the Mu family, when Zhu Jun is in power, he can still control this behemoth, but who can guarantee that the emperor of later generations can not control it. Even now, Zhu Jun believes in the absolute loyalty of the Mu family. But who knows if the descendants of the Mu family are absolutely loyal to the royal family? The fall of power is the beginning of infighting, and Zhu Jun has a deep understanding of this.

But now, he doesn't have to worry, after all kinds of propaganda, the soldiers and middle and low-level officers are absolutely loyal to the royal family, even if all the governors are all served by the Mu family, I'm afraid they can't rebel, there is only one reason. The rebellion needs the support of grassroots soldiers and officers, if it can't be done, a few pounds, what is the utility of the bare-bones commander?

Coupled with the movement of the railroad tracks, the distance has also been shortened unconsciously, since the dynasties, due to the limitations of the road, some generals in the frontier are basically the emperor, the central government whip is beyond the reach, even if

Near-antiquity. commands. It also took a full month or two to send Ruran to increase the ambitions of the generals, but now due to the laying of railroad tracks and cement roads, the original one-month journey has been shortened to three to five days, even if you want to rebel, the rebel army can also suppress the rebellion within a few days, Zhu Jun naturally does not have to worry about these things anymore. ，

1. In the port of Tianjin, Liu Er, Liu Guoxuan, and Yang Rang, the governors of the three major naval divisions, immediately became excited after receiving the battle report from the south, and the marines of the naval division began to disperse into the prefectures and counties of Zhili, Shandong, and other provinces with battalion formations. Therefore, before the Ming army arrived, these people took off their Manchu official uniforms and cut off their braids. replaced all the ceremonial documents, and even someone found the official uniform of the former Ming Dynasty, and changed his body, hoping to become an official of the recovery of Zhongxing, and various state capitals also led to the trend of cutting braids, for a while. It has become fashionable.

As soon as the Ming army arrived, they immediately entered the city, followed by the dismissal of the Manchu officials, and the temporary establishment of the military management yamen to maintain the rule, with the entry of the Ming army, a group of merchants in the south of the Yangtze River began to seize business opportunities. On the contrary, it is the unopened virgin land in Jiangbei that has made many capital consortia coveted, and many people are still counting on opening the market and building factories here.

In two months, all the state capitals along the coastline of Shaanxi in the west and the Bohai Sea in the east have all been incorporated into the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but because the process is too fast, there is a backlog of problems, after all, the officers of the military management yamen have no experience in managing politics, and in the south of the Yangtze River, thousands of small officials and students who have been promoted after examinations have been prepared, and they have become the first batch of officials to go north to take over government affairs.

After the annihilation of the whole army, the Diedong Army began to expand, Nanjing's latest training of 10,000 new troops and more than 5,000 remnants became the backbone, began to enter Shaanxi, Li Laiheng's injury has been healed, but one less palm, still as the governor, in the future there will still be 15,000 recruits and training of the new army to supplement it, and the Southern Jiangsu Army was officially reorganized into the Xuzhou Army stationed in Xuzhou, all kinds of transfer orders are frequent, the military department is sparse to form the Beiping Army, in order to be responsible for the defense of Zhili, Henan, Shanxi and other provinces after the recovery of Beiping in the future.

Eventually, the armies of all walks of life began to gather under the city of Beijing, and the three major naval divisions and marines with a total of 60,000 men and horses set up a siege posture and ordered the city to surrender. ，

Forbidden city. Qianqing Palace.

Suo Etu carefully sat on the side of the temple. Sitting on the opposite side is Kangxi's side concubine Twist Hulu. Twist Hulu is the daughter of the first rank of the auxiliary minister, the Empress Hesheri died in childbirth, and the prince Yinzhu was young, so he was adopted by the Twist Hulu clan, and the Twist Hulu clan was holding a tiger head and a tiger brain sleeping soundly in his arms, and on the soft kang on the side, it was the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sitting cross-legged, and the four people in the hall except for Xiao Yinzhu who slept carefreely, the other three were all pale

White.

Suo Etu saw that there was no way to go on like this. coughed: "Ancestor, the Ming army outside the city has been ordered to surrender within one day, if there is no response in the city, I am afraid it will be killed, and if it is killed, please make a decision." ”

Later, Suo Etu added: "The news just came that the emperor is dead." Several princes and county kings of Chong'an have already descended, and they"

Before Suo Etu finished speaking, there was already a mournful cry from the Twisted Hulu clan in the hall, she was still counting on being the queen, but who knew that the Han people would come, the men were all dead, and only a group of orphans and widows were left to do what they could do.

In fact, the news of Kangxi's death has already come. It's just that the news is not accurate, and now that there is accurate news, Xiaozhuang's hand can't help but tremble twice. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, and then said leisurely: "Suo Etu, what do you think?" For such a big matter, we orphans and widows can't be left to make up their minds. ”

Suo Etu is also a spider who can't move, how dare he make up his mind about this kind of thing, do you say that he will surrender? If the ancestor said that he was worried, what should he do? Is such a thing a thing that a servant can say? If it is stubborn, what is there to fight, in addition to the commander of the Nine Gates in the city, there are still some soldiers, where is there any strength, not to mention sitting in the lonely city, how long can you survive? When the food is exhausted and the men are dead, will the Han people rush in?

Suo Etu closed his mouth smartly, and a pair of old eyes were still staring at Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang sighed: "There are tens of thousands of domestic slaves in the city. ”

Xiaozhuang's mind is the house slaves of various provinces, most of these house slaves are strong men, if they are armed, they must also be a force.

But Suo Etu listened to it, but he didn't think so, no matter how Xiaozhuang is, she is still a woman, can she use it if she organizes a man? Is there enough food in the city? Will these people still have the morale to fight? If the Ming army under the city really wants to fight, do you still have time to organize the manpower? Sitting in a lonely city, even if it is a thousand elite soldiers, what is the use, let alone just a group of minions.

Suo Etu said in a deep voice:

Jia Xin, who is willing to resist in Xinbo City, has only recently heard this, and the masters of the banner are thinking of a way back for themselves. ”

Xiaozhuang's eyes opened slightly: "According to your meaning, there is only one way to please descend."

Suo Etu hurriedly said: "The slave will never dare to say this. ”

Xiaozhuang sneered: "You don't have to deny it, the mourning family understands, the situation is so bad now, hey, the Han people have something to say, call the tree down macaque scatter, now who doesn't have their own flower intestines, there are a few who are willing to do their last effort for my Daqing, since it can't be saved, the mourning family has nothing to say, everything is up to you, so many clans in the capital mourning family don't let them in, only call you." In fact, I still trust you, the emperor entrusted the crown prince to you, and I also believe that you are my loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty

Suo Etu immediately left his seat, his eyes flashed with muddy tears in his eyes, and he bowed down to the ground and said: "The slave is trusted by the ancestor and the emperor, and he is willing to serve the dead." He paused: "The slave has also thought about it in the mansion these days, and most of the Qing Dynasty can't keep it now, since that's the case." The safety of the ancestors and the crown prince must be ensured. Otherwise, the minions will not be blinded

Xiaozhuang sighed, and her gloomy face turned to the child in Honghulu's arms, her eyes instantly became kind, and she said slightly: "It's okay to mourn the life of the family, it's just Yindong."

"The slave understands that there are still a few tens of thousands of catties in this Beijing city. Han people, the reason why the Ming army ordered us to surrender is mostly because we are in a hurry to do something to the Han people in the city, since they are afraid, the slaves are willing to go out of the city to negotiate peace with them, as long as the Ming army can keep the safety of the old ancestor and the little master, you might as well open the city and surrender. ”

Xiaozhuang nodded: "Then, these things are all entrusted to you, the mourning family is a woman, and she doesn't understand anything in this deep palace, and you have to pick up the burden of the last moment of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Suo Etu bowed again: "Then please ask the ancestor to make a decree and entrust the right to negotiate peace with the minions."

Xiaozhuang stopped talking, his eyes glanced at a little eunuch, the little eunuch went immediately, and then, took out a decree, presumably Xiaozhuang had already made plans and prepared it. Suo Etu felt a sudden break in his heart and glanced at Xiaozhuang. I thought to myself, this woman is really not simple, and on the surface, she asked herself for a plan, but she had already made a plan. He bowed, and then cautiously withdrew.

In the Qianqing Palace, the Hulu clan was still crying in a low voice, Xiaozhuang half-squinted his eyes, and only sneered after seeing Suo Etu withdraw, and shouted: "Don't cry anymore, what's the use of crying?" ”

The Twist Hulu clan immediately stopped sobbing and looked at Xiaozhuang in shock.

The corners of Xiaozhuang's mouth still had a sneer: "Suo Etu has also thought carefully, hmph, it seems that this peace talk has to go out of the city in person." Go with your family of mourners. ”

The panic on the face of the twisted Hulu clan didn't know what was going on, but Yinyu in his arms suddenly woke up and cried,,,

Suo Etu does have his own little abacus. After thinking about it, he always felt that the Ming army was most afraid of the empress dowager and those princes, sooner or later it was a clean game, all dynasties, this matter of cutting grass and eradicating the roots was extremely sparse and ordinary, although Yinzhu was his grandson, but compared to the entire Hesheri family, what was it, this time into the palace, all he wanted was to ask for a queen mother's decree, with this signboard, you can go out to negotiate peace with great fanfare, as for the conditions. Naturally, it is not to keep Xiaozhuang and Yinshi, but to keep the Hesheri family and then talk about other things, Chong'an, those clan princes can mix up some benefits if they surrender, and his Hesheri family is just a lackey of the clan, and he must be able to keep it.

He carefully held the Empress Dowager's decree, the corners of his mouth showed a sneer, at this time he had already left the Qianqing Palace, turned a few corridors, and walked a few steps forward to pass the Taihe Palace and go out of the palace. At this time, Lao Yuan understood that seven or eight guards from the Yellow Horse Tower came over here, because the person who knew the family was the father of the Imperial Concubine Twisting Hulu Clan.

Kupilon is a native of Manchuria with the Yellow Banner, the sixteenth son of the five ministers of the early Qing Dynasty, and his mother is the fourth daughter of Nurhachi, Princess Mukush. At that time, Aobai was autocratic, and Kubilon knew about Aobai's intentions. But he didn't dare to reveal it, which once aroused Kangxi's dissatisfaction, but then, his two daughters entered the palace and became Kangxi's concubines, and they were gradually reactivated by Kangxi and served as the minister of guards. Full-time responsible for palace guards, protecting the safety of the Forbidden City, is very favored.

He has always been at odds with Suo Etu, but when he worshipped the dictatorship, he did not dare to expose it. In fact, the deeper reason is that he and Aobai are both flag-bearers with yellow flags, and Aobai has to deal with mainly Sony and Suke Saha. But there is still one Suo Etu left, but Suo Etu has always been reused by Kangxi, and Ji Bilong didn't dare to attack him, and at this moment, he finally showed a sly smile, and coldly pressed the handle of the knife towards Suo Etu.
