"Big brother, are we really going to let Huang Taiji go?" Li Xiu asked Li Xiao while pulling rice into his mouth. They are all soldiers, and they don't eat or sleep, which is not suitable for the Li family.

"Brother! Our Li family is flying too fast, and we are holding the most elite infantry in the Ming Dynasty. In the imperial court, whether it is Wei Zhongxian or the emperor, why are they so polite to us? ”

"Because we can fight the Tartars, and only we can fight the Tartars."

"That's right! How about we go back without the Tartars? There is no one who does not doubt the generals who hold the power of the army. Xiucai's rebellion has not been successful for ten years, but the general's rebellion is much more painful. It's okay, you and Mr. Mao learn more about history, how many dynasties have been overthrown by military generals throughout the ages. Like Zhao Kuangyin, who is dressed in a yellow robe, even if he is a civilized person. ”

Li Xiu glanced at Sun Chengzong with his eyes, the old guy "sipped" a sip of wine, and ate a mouthful of food sweetly, Li Xiao's words didn't seem to have been heard.

"So we have to keep the Tartars, can't we kill them all?"

"Yes!" Li Xiao gave an affirmative reply.

"Big brother, then the revenge of my father and eldest sister will not be avenged? Big sister loves you the most, big brother! Li Xiu put down his chopsticks and asked his eldest brother with his eyes open. This is the first time Li Xiu has questioned his eldest brother's words. Li Hu next to him also put down his chopsticks, watching the eldest and second child's lips move and still didn't speak.

"There is a wrong, and there is a debtor! Neither Amin nor the Blue Flag want to live, but I'll spare most of the Tartars. Second, you say it in good conscience. Even if we really want to exterminate the Tartars, we can really exterminate them? Li Xiao smiled, eating like no one else.

"Why not? Next year, if we recruit more soldiers, we will always be able to defeat the Tartars. Li Xiu was angry, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with Li Xiao only killing the blue flag and Amin.

"Recruit some more soldiers? Silly brother, don't you want money? Ai Husheng came back, you go and take a good look, the round face is tired and the chin is pointed. Now there are tens of thousands of people who eat with us, and you know how much you spend a day.

Do you think it's enough to sell glass, soap, and munitions? Let's just say that the soldiers on your ship, ordinary sailors, each have two taels of silver per month. The officers are three and a half, and this is not counting the captain and the first mate or something, how much does it add up?

Wei Zhongxian allocated 200,000 taels of silver, and only then did he have the rice mountain and the face mountain on Juehua Island. But do you know that there are 200,000 mouths to eat the food here? These grains will have to be eaten so that they can be eaten until the harvest is a little bit this summer.

Recruit more soldiers, and call back without military pay and military rations. Are you waiting for them to mutiny? ”

"The court ......!"

"Do you expect the imperial court to feed? How much water do you put in your brain? For the sake of silver, what has become of the court? Wei Zhongxian made money for the emperor, although this bastard is not a thing. But he still knows that he can't raise taxes on the people anymore, and to whom? Donglin Party!

Otherwise, why do you think you want to depose Zhao Nanxing. Why do you want to kill Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong, Huang Zunsu. Why did you kill these people, and there would be people in Suzhou who would make trouble? That's because the Donglin Party represents the interests of the Jiangnan chaebol, or many of them are Jiangnan chaebols.

They take advantage of the scholars, do not pay food, do not pay taxes, and do not submit to forced labor. What Wei Zhongxian wants to collect is their taxes. This is the change in the capital, and because of this, Suzhou people gather to make trouble.

No one organized, no one took the lead, do you think hundreds of thousands of people will go out of the market because of one Zhou Shunchang? In the final analysis, it's all about money, do you think that money that is not easy to get can be given to us so cheaply? Do you think the emperor will have trust in our brothers? ”

Li Xiao's series of questions, Li Xiu was dumbfounded and couldn't answer a word. Over the years, he has practiced well in running boats in the sea, but when he plays politics, Li Xiu is not even a novice.

As for Li Hu, he had already picked up his chopsticks and inserted a piece of braised pork, and ate it in his mouth.

"This is no money, even if there is money, do you think we can exterminate the Tartars? Have you been to Hetuala? People go to the grassland, drill into the Changbai Mountain, where do you find it? Don't forget, the Jurchens arose between the white mountains and black waters. It was originally where they lived, and we were far from familiar with it. If nothing else, the terrain alone is enough for you to explore for a few years.

How to solve the logistics of going over the mountains and mountains? How to transport baggage? Where do you go to find a guide? Is the guide reliable? How does the weather change in different places? Where will the enemy hide?

The army drove over and couldn't even understand the terrain, and that was the second Salhu. Your brother and I are Juniper, Liu Ting, and there is no place to bury you. ”

This time, Li Xiu was completely silent, sitting in his seat and drooping his head.

He really didn't think about so many things, he just thought that with the advantage of force, he could kill the Tartar and avenge his father and sister and sister. Now it seems, things are definitely not that simple.

Although he has not read a book, Li Xiu still knows who Juniper and Liu Ting are. Ao Canghai often mentioned these two fierce generals to Li Xiu, and the Japanese invaders were in awe of these two generals, but later they were wiped out in the Battle of Sarhu, and the bones were gone.

"Since the Tartar cannot be destroyed, then the only way to do it is to let Huang Taiji go back. He was a great khan, far better than that Dorgon. After Li Xiao finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat. Li Hu, this kid, always forgets to die when he eats, and a large pot of braised pork is almost eaten by him.

"Boom!" Sun Chengzong put down his wine glass, looked at Li Xiao and nodded.

"Originally, I thought it would take a lot of tongues to persuade you to release Huang Taiji and go back. I didn't expect you to see it so thoroughly, Li Xiu, your eldest brother is right.

We can't defeat the Tartars in battle, they live in the mountains. That's their hometown, and we're just passers-by when we get there. Even if they fight to the death, they will continue to retreat and go deeper into the mountains. But we can't get anything in the mountains, and the gains outweigh the losses!.

As for what your brother said about the imperial court, although I can't completely agree with it. But I have to admit that your brother has a point.

The old man doesn't know where that Dolgon is sacred, but for now, Huang Taiji's succession to the throne is the best thing for us. Because, at least he knows awe. After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he stood up and left the dining hall with his hands behind his back.

These are the only people who are qualified to eat at this table, and Ao Canghai has not been silent from beginning to end, and his mouth is full of oil after a mouthful of wine and meat. He doesn't care if he lets go of Huang Taiji or not, anyway, whatever Li Xiao says, he just follows. After years of contact, Ao Canghai has determined that in terms of IQ, eight Ao Canghai can't catch up with one Li Xiao. Since you are stupider than others, it is an inevitable choice to follow smart people.

I'm recklessly bumping around, God knows if I'll hit the iron plate. It's still good to hit the iron plate, at most there will be a bag on the head. If one day you are unlucky enough to hit a cliff and plunge your head to the bottom of the cliff, you will die.

White snow covered the entire land, along with the frozen sea. Damn the snow and ice reflect the sun's light, and the heat from the sun. Plus the melting of ice and snow requires the absorption of heat, which is damn cold and cold.

When he went out, Li Xiao was poured into the north wind, and quickly closed his mouth and walked towards his room with his head down. Just after eating, I will definitely have a stomachache. After eating at noon, the most comfortable thing is to sleep. There are still decades to live in the afternoon, and the bones of this body have to be strong.

It is also cold, and Shenyang City is even colder than Juehua Island. Dolgon was on his horse, and when he saw the man on the other side, he smiled and dismounted to meet him.

He felt unlucky, and he had won a battle with the help of the Jurchens. went to the richest place in the Ming Dynasty to grab a handful, but he didn't expect that the Jurchens would not be cowardly in front of Li Xiao, but they would lose to the natural moat.

His fleet was attacked by Li Xiu, and now there is no one left. If it weren't for the safety of the day, the ship full of gunpowder was docked on another pier. Now I don't even have gunpowder!

Shuoto is dead, and his contact with Houjin is gone. Dai Shan lost two sons in this battle, and when he returned home, he couldn't afford to get sick. The two red flags had the most deaths, and everyone was busy with funerals, and no one cared about these red-haired people who came from afar.

Winters in the Netherlands are not warm either, but they are far worse than those in Liaodong. The cold weather in Liaodong made the Dutch soldiers very uncomfortable. Walking inside the camp, you can hear complaints everywhere. Yu Yi is also full of dissatisfaction, but now there is really no place to say about it.

Seeing the days go by, he even has to worry about food. Because the Jurchens themselves did not have enough food to eat!

If you want to go back to Java, it's simply impossible now. Even if you have the technology to build a ship, you can build a ship in the winter. It seems to be colder than Denmark, and there are large chunks of sea ice floating on the sea.

Just as he was sitting in the city of sorrow, a kind and generous Jurchen nobleman extended his most sincere invitation. There was no way out, and without saying a word, he followed to join this kind-hearted Jurchen nobleman.

With Dolgon's care, Daishan was seriously ill and could not be a director. He left the territory of Zhenghongqi smoothly and came to Shenyang City.

"Mr. Yuyi, welcome to Shenyang City." Dolgon, learning European etiquette, shook hands with Kuichi.

"Thank you, Your Excellency Baylor, for your selfless help in my most helpless time." The tongue man is obviously not very used to his work, and he stumbles when translating. Dolgon couldn't help it, and the entire two yellow flags couldn't find such one. This guy was still picked out from the Ming prisoners.

"That barracks is for you, and it's already ready with food and firewood. Enough for you for a winter! Dorgon gestured to the barracks about a hundred and ten paces away, even in Shenyang City. There are not many pure brick houses, and most of them are occupied by the relatives of the Chongchen and Aixin Jueluo families. The fact that he was able to build a brick house with enough space for 3,000 people shows the great energy of Dolgon's activities.

"Oh! It's great, it's so cold here. The house we used to live in would freeze to death. As soon as he looked at the brick house, he immediately decided that he had made a mistake in Shenyang. The barracks provided by Daishan to them, except for a few brick houses, are mostly simple thatched huts. Although there is a stove in the house, the carbon gas is very uncomfortable at night.

When I wake up in the morning, I can blow out soot from my nose. The day before yesterday, someone died inexplicably, and the whole room was dead, and I don't know what happened.

"Your guests from afar, of course we will let you live in a good house." Dorgon tugged at the sleeve of the pinch, and took him to inspect his new barracks.

The house is a bit old but very clean. In some places, you can still see the traces of the renovation that have just been renovated, and it is very rare to be able to do this in a hurry. After seeing the full grain warehouse, as well as fat pigs and fat fish who know how to be hard. He was very pleased with his new residence, and he immediately fell in love with this Jurchen nobleman who looked very young.

Although I don't understand, he is also the son of Nurhachi. Why is Dolgon so much younger than Daishan, but it still doesn't delay his appreciation for Dolgon.

"Prepare some thin wine, not a tribute!" When he came to the front of a room, a servant opened the curtain. Dorgon made a gesture of please, please come in first. This polite attitude once again won the favor of Yuyi.

Eight dishes and eight bowls are placed on the rosewood table of eight immortals, and the traditional Jurchen dishes are not luxurious at all. It's all some steamed hash worms, pheasant stewed mushrooms and other dishes. Although it looks a little coarse, it tastes definitely good.

"A toast!" Dorgon picked up his glass and poured a glass himself. I'm embarrassed to stand up!

Holding down the shoulders of the two of them, the two of them touched a glass of wine.

"Although this time the dispatch failed, our Houjin's vitality was not hurt. Next year we will still attack Daming, and we hope to get your help then. ”

"The one called Li Xiao, their firearms are too powerful. I still don't understand why their shells exploded. "Ichi was a little frustrated, his artillery could only fire solid projectiles. Although the lethality is huge, it is not as good as Li Xiao's flowering bomb after all. Especially this time, seeing the huge power of the flowering bomb, even the solid sea ice can be blasted open. I'm even more frustrated!

What makes Kuichi feel even more bleak is that there is no ship left. It was impossible for him to return to Java, and it was even more impossible to ask the Jurchens to help build a ship. When he was under the city of Jinzhou, Shuotuo asked him for the formula for gunpowder. In the future, the fate of himself and these 3,000 Dutch soldiers has been tied to Houjin.

"Your artillery is also good, I don't think it's worse than Li Xiao's artillery. All that's missing is that the shells don't explode. It's not difficult, as long as we have gunpowder, we can think about it slowly.

Oh, yes, here's something for you. Dolgon slapped his face, and from behind the curtain came a servant with a bulging throat in his hand.
