Just when Chongzhen was integrating half of the south of the Yangtze River at the fastest speed and concentrating on building the Huanghuai defense line, Dolgon, who had just entered Beijing, was not idle, and brazenly issued a shaving order two days ago.

It is to force the Han people to shave the tail of the money rat like the man.

Jiannu's obsession with hairstyles and clothing comes from a serious lack of security.

Because the Jiannu population was too small, they were very concerned about whether the Han people they conquered were really subjugated.

At that time, the old slaves were because the Han people refused to surrender sincerely, so they carried out large-scale killings in Liaodong, killing more than 2 million Han people to the point that only more than 200,000 were left.

Jiannu's standard for judging whether the Han people are truly surrendered is also simple and crude.

If you are willing to shave your hair and be easy to obey, you are truly surrendering, and if you are unwilling, you are not truly surrendering.

Since the old slave raised his troops, Jiannu has been resolutely implementing the shaving order.

However, after entering Beijing, Dolgon listened to the advice of Han officials such as Hong Chengchou and Fan Wencheng, and suspended the execution of the shaving order in order to win the approval of the gentry of the Northern Zhizhi and the Ming army in the border towns.

The effect of this is also extremely significant, depending on the entire North Direct Transmission.

But within a few days, Dolgon relapsed and felt that he still had to shave his hair.

As a result, as soon as the shaving order was issued, many state capitals that had already "surrendered to the wind" rebelled one after another.

For the rebellion of the gentry and the people of the Northern Administration, Dolgon had one reaction - resolutely sent troops to suppress it!

As a result, the infantry armor, vests, red and even white banners of Manchuria, all of them were dispatched one after another, and launched a brutal suppression of the rebellious Han gentry and the common people, taking the opportunity to loot a wave.

This is actually Dolgon's real intention, to grab food!

Jiannu's food reserves are barely enough for his own use, but now there are suddenly so many Dashun's surrendered troops, as well as Daming's demoted officers and troops, the pressure suddenly doubles, so I have to find a way to get some food.

Dolgon's thoughts, Gyeonggi's blood flowed.

……

Let's talk about Yangzhou.

The court push has ended, and the four Zaifu of the cabinet have been freshly released and have begun to govern the country, but the Fu King Zhu Yousong and the Nanjing nobles led by Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, who have arrived one after another, are still waiting outside the line.

Among them, Zhu Yousong and Liu Kongzhao were the most worried in their hearts.

Liu Kongzhao really regretted his intestines, he knew that Chongzhen was not dead, even if he was killed, he didn't dare to come out of this way, forcing the Donglin Party to support Zhu Yousong, now that it's over, Chongzhen will definitely settle accounts after the autumn.

Zhu Yousong, Liu Kongzhao and other Nanjing nobles waited until the evening, and finally saw Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and other Nanjing officials surrounding Shi Kefa and Meng Zhaoxiang, the right attendant of the Beijing Criminal Department, coming out of Xingyuan.

I can vaguely hear some officials saying that this time it is the public is in the ascendant again, and I am hopeful that Ming Zhongxing will promote.

Liu Kongzhao didn't care about etiquette at this time, and directly grabbed Zhu Yousong in front of him to block Shi Kefa's way.

However, he didn't dare to be as domineering as before, but was a little servile: "Da Sima, is this the end of Tingtui?" You must have gotten your wish, right? The first assistant of the cabinet? ”

Shi Kefa frowned and said, "Sincerity, do you have something?" ”

Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang behind Shi Kefa also cast a look of disdain.

The state apparatus was restored, and the status of the nobles was rapidly declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Liu Kongzhao's smile became even more humble: "Is the Holy Dragon Body good?" You're not tired, are you? ”

Shi Kefa smiled and said, "This is still waiting for the Holy Lord to summon him, and the sincerity will greet him in person." ”

After speaking, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu and others hugged Meng Zhaoxiang and left, not only did they not give Liu Kongzhao face, but also Xu Hongji and Zhu Yousong face.

Zhu Yousong tasted the heat and coldness of the world again.

In just one night, he was reduced to no one care.

The vassal king of the Ming Dynasty is really not a human being, I am not a vassal king, is it okay?

But Zhu Yousong only dared to think about this, and he would never dare to say it.

The civil officials are gone, and only Zhu Yousong and a group of nobles are left outside the line, they wait and wait, wait and wait, and wait until the sky is already dark, and the troops in the line are all drawn one after another, and the emperor has not yet summoned them.

In the end, Zhu Yousong and the nobles finally saw an acquaintance, Jingnan Bohuang Degong.

At that time, Huang Degong was leading a team of family members to escort more than a dozen officers out of the gate.

Then with an order, more than a dozen officers fell to the ground, and Zhu Yousong and the others were suddenly silent.

"Fu Wang? Wei Guogong? Huang Degong finally saw Zhu Yousong and them, walked up and asked, "Why are you still here?" Haven't returned to Nanjing yet? ”

Zhu Yousong smiled bitterly: "The Holy Lord has not been summoned yet, so I dare not return." ”

"Holy?" Huang Degong was stunned for a moment and said, "Shengshang has already left Yangzhou by water, so I'm afraid that he has already passed Shao Bo Town." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yousong was stunned.

Liu Kongzhao, Xu Hongji and others also looked at each other.

Didn't you see us once, and the saint left?

The Holy One doesn't like to see me and other clan nobles?

Liu Kongzhao didn't give up, and asked again: "Did the Holy Lord leave a message?" ”

"No, I didn't." Huang Degong shook his head and said, "Everyone, the military affairs of this town are one step ahead. ”

After a while, Huang Degong led the last group of Ming troops to pull out, and the tents, gates, and watchtowers were also dismantled and loaded onto donkey carts or carriages and pulled away.

There was only one wolf left in the same place.

There is also Zhu Yousong and the nobles.

Although it was already the beginning of May at this time, and they were also wearing warm brocade furs, Zhu Yousong and these nobles in Nanjing still felt a chill.

……

Chongzhen didn't mean to snub or beat Zhu Yousong and them.

He really didn't have time to pay attention to these rice worms, and he had to rush to Huai'an Mansion.

As a traverser, Chongzhen clearly knows the next historical direction.

It is now the sixth day of the fifth month, and in the following month, the gentry of Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan provinces, as well as the Ming army that had surrendered to Dashun, have launched rebellions one after another, and the local government of Dashun, which has just been established, will soon collapse.

Historically, because Nanming had just been created, he was launching a fierce party struggle, and he had no time to look north.

As a result, Jiannu picked up a big bargain, but sent two partial divisions of less than 10,000 people, and Shanxi and Shandong provinces passed on the decision.

Then a detachment of Jiannu's division would advance along the canal to the north bank of the Yellow River.

By the beginning of October this year, Fulin would be taken to Beijing by Dolgon.

In the same month, the Jiannu generals divided their troops into two routes, one led by Azig, through Datong through Tumut Mongolia, and then from the direction of Yulin to attack northern Shaanxi, intending to sweep away the Dashun army.

The other route, led by Duoduo, traveled south along the canal, intending to defeat the Southern Ming.

In other words, it will only be five months to fight and count, and he still has five months to build the Huanghuai defense line.

Of course, it is not Chongzhen's style to be beaten and not fight back, if the time comes, he will also send powerful ministers and even a small number of elite soldiers into Shandong, even if he still can't fight for Jiannu in the end, at least he can't let Jiannu just rely on two partial divisions to pass the word, at least to create some trouble for Jiannu.

Forget about Shanxi, leave it to Li Zicheng.

Therefore, it is also possible that in less than five months, Jiannu will go south ahead of schedule.

Because the Ming army built a walled fortress along the Huanghuai line, it will definitely attract the attention of Jiannu, and the actions of the Ming Dynasty in Shandong and even Shanxi will inevitably attract countermeasures from Jiannu.

To sum up, it is likely that the Jiannu army will move south in advance.

Therefore, we must seize the time to build the Huanghuai defense line, and if it is too late, there will be changes.

Some people will say that it is feasible not to stimulate the construction of slaves? Jiannu will fight the Dashun army first.

In fact, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu very much hope that Chongzhen will lie down, stay in Nanjing and be the emperor, and hand over government affairs to the cabinet, and military affairs will be handed over to Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing.

Or simply choose a wave of show girls in Nanzhili and have another prince as soon as possible.

Chongzhen actually doesn't need to work so hard at all, so according to the original trajectory, there is a high probability that Duoduo's army will still be attracted by thieves and turn to Tongguan.

In this way, Daming can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

But the question is, what about after the Dashun army was destroyed by Jiannu?

Only half of Jiangnan is left to face the Jiannu soldiers alone?

No, it's not enough to face Jiannu alone, you also have to face the attack of the Dashun army.

Because after the Dashun army withdrew from Shaanxi, it would go south along the Yangtze River to attack Wuchang.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty will have to fight with one enemy and two enemies, and face Jiannu and the Dashun army at the same time, which is really certain death.

Therefore, Chongzhen had no other choice but to seize the time to build the Huanghuai defense line as soon as possible and seek to capture Shandong.

Of course, there are still two things to do before this, that is, to eradicate Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing, these two tumors will leave great hidden dangers if they are not eradicated.

Among them, Liu Liangzuo handed it over to Huang Degong to solve.

After Huang Degong annexed Gao Jie's 10,000 pro-army, his strength increased greatly, and as long as there was no major accident, there would be no suspense in suppressing Liu Liangzuo.

Because Liu Liangzuo does not have Huang Degong's function, his strength is far inferior to Huang Degong.

And Liu Zeqing was solved by Chongzhen himself, and he still only brought 1,000 Yiding.

The good news is that with the spread of the news of Chongzhen's southern tour of Yangzhou and the reconstruction of the cabinet, the chaos and disorder in the southern half of the Yangtze River are rapidly recovering, and the officialdom is rapidly restoring order.

Once the order of officialdom is restored, warlords like Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo will lose room for development, and their subordinates may even deviate from morality, and not all of them will be willing to be thieves.

The bad news is that there is no way to carry out a raid on Liu Zeqing like Gao Jie.

There is no doubt that Liu Zeqing must be paying close attention to the movements of the other three towns, and Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong must be his key monitoring targets, so it is difficult to hide what happened in Yangzhou from his eyes.

Not surprisingly, Liu Zeqing will soon know everything that happened in Yangzhou.

However, Chongzhen has long been aware of this, and Liu Zeqing can't make any waves.

Facing the real imperial power, Liu Zeqing will not have the slightest chance to resist.

PS: Although it hasn't been put on the shelves yet, I'm still cheeky to ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!
