Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 486 Is there no hope of returning?
"The marriage with the Chahar tribes will continue."

Dorgon said with a straight face, emphasizing again.

"All the tribes in Chahar are still safe and sound, but Khalkha Mongolia has killed and injured many people in Beijing. After returning, they stomped their feet angrily and complained a lot."

Luckard sneered.

"The Khalkha Mongols are just slaves in the past, and now even their master Chahar tribe has surrendered, and they still don't forget to jump back."

Daishan stomped his feet and said in a deep voice: "Genghis Khan has been dead for 400 years, even the mighty Dayan Khan only unified Monan, and the Khalkha Mongols still want to unify the Mongolian tribes."

"How can we let them do what they want?"

Dorgon said murderously: "If you still refuse to accept it, you can kill it. In the past, we wanted to win over the Mongols to suppress the Han people. Now we just want to kill chickens and scare monkeys."

The sentence "kill chickens to warn monkeys" made everyone's expressions inexplicable.

I don't know which monkey this is scaring, Monan Mongolia?Han Chinese?Or these people?
In this regard, everyone's thoughts turned.

"In the spring of next year, there will be a hunt. I'll see how many wild wolves there are."

After the regent left, no one dared to look at him.

"Mafa!" Daishan of Luck Dehun team yelled and left directly.

On the other hand, Hauge and the others looked inexplicably away.

After the others left, Dai Shan shook his head, walked slowly, and muttered: "The old wolf is not old after defeat, and I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

In any case, Dorgon is the only one who can preside over the Qing Dynasty.

In the harem, Emperor Shunzhi was also the first to know about the meeting, but no one told him the specific content.

"Hey!" Shunzhi glanced at the familiar yet unfamiliar palace, and fell silent for a while.

When he was a child, when he was ignorant, he only thought that the palace in Shengjing was the most luxurious place in the world.

When he came to Beijing, he suddenly realized that in front of the Forbidden City, the palace in Shengjing was not as good as a mansion in Beijing.

Rough, narrow, and even short.

However, when I came back here again, I felt bitter in my heart.

"Your Majesty—" At this time, Tang Ruowang, who was wearing an official robe, walked over cautiously.

"Where did sir go?"

"The Prince Regent has something to do with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to see His Majesty in the future." Tang Ruowang smiled wryly.

"What's going on here?"

"The regent sent a humble official to build a bastion in western Liaoning."

"This is to serve the country, so go ahead."

Shunzhi said helplessly.

"By the way, sir, do you think Shengjing is a little smaller?"

With that said, Shunzhi suddenly asked.

"It's better to have big ones, and it's better to have small ones. For me, the road is less, and I can come to see His Majesty as soon as possible, which is very good."

Tang Ruowang bowed slightly: "But if you can enter the customs once, you can have two or three times. Don't be too discouraged, Your Majesty."

"I understand." Shunzhi nodded, then fell into deep thought.

When he went to the harem to look for his mother, he was stopped again.

"Damn it, Tang Ruowang just left for a while!"

Clenching his fists and clenching his teeth, Shunzhi's dissatisfaction with losing Guan Nei all gathered on Dorgon.

……

At this time, Li Zicheng, who was far away in Qinghai, also received news from the Central Plains.

Squatting on the wool blanket, the kumiss was swaying wantonly, and a group of soldiers talked and laughed wantonly, with the Mongolian woman with a smell in their arms, their morale was high.

Although it is said that Gushi Khan intends to kill thieves, the weather on the plateau is really hard to find.

It took two months to gather the army, and when they were halfway there, winter on the plateau would come.

The grassland is withered and yellow, and the desert has become desperate. We can only watch Li Zicheng clean up the Qinghai area, but there is nothing we can do.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already arrived in several Qinghai provinces and conquered nearly [-]% of the tribes.

Although they were severely beaten in the Central Plains, Li Zicheng's Shun army had no single enemy in the Qinghai area.

Don't talk about iron armor, just talk about arrows. The Mongols in Qinghai still use bone arrows, which can be described as extremely desperate.

Without the iron tools of the Central Plains, the Mongols' combat power dropped by more than [-]%.

At this time, he was drunk with kumiss, and he swayed: "Drink, keep drinking."

"The emperor also drinks, let's drink together."

The generals didn't seem to be surprised at all, and responded directly.

There were only a few civil servants, and they looked at it with a smile, their expressions were inexplicable.

"Prime Minister, can this Heshuo special department become a soldier?"

Song Xiance tilted his head and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but it should work."

Niu Jinxing shook his head, then nodded again, showing a thoughtful expression: "The Heshuo Special Department has tens of thousands of households, at least it can form a [-]-strong mercenary army, and it can also replenish us with horses, which is of great help."

"If others don't mention it, it is possible to keep our northwest line."

"As for the counterattack..."

Having said that, Niu Jinxing shook his head slightly and stopped talking.

And Song Xiance understood that this was just a big cake for filling his hunger.

Without sufficient weapons and armor, it is almost impossible to win the battle, and the Ming army will not give them a chance.

Seeing the generals who were reluctant to miss Shu, Song Xiance muttered: "Although it is common to distribute spoils of war, how to take them back in this grassland?"

The most spoils this time are cattle and sheep, other than slaves, tents, and even land.

Li Zicheng was very generous, and he also knew how to appease the soldiers who had lost consecutive battles, so [-]% of the spoils were distributed by him.

In this way, almost every soldier was assigned a woman and became a man,
These things are not like gold and silver jewelry, which are easy to carry and can be taken away, but clumsy or even impossible to take away.

Under such circumstances, how could these counselors not be worried?

Suddenly, a cavalry galloped over. Seeing such a huge open-air banquet, they were a little confused for a while.

Song Xiance responded to him in time, but now the drunken Emperor Dashun fell to the ground.

"What?" Song Xiance looked at the military text and shouted instantly.

For a while, the scene was quiet, and then it became noisy again in an instant.

And he presented the general text to Niu Jinxing to read, and the latter turned pale.

After a long time, the two found Li Zicheng helplessly, dragged him back to the rear, and made him drink hangover soup.

After vomiting for a while, Li Zicheng came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, take a look!"

Upon seeing it, Li Zicheng's pupils immediately shrank, and there was no trace of alcohol on his face.

"When did this come?"

"Not long ago."

"Okay!"

Li Zicheng gritted his teeth with hatred, and his voice trembled: "It's really a great skill to even beat Man Qing out of the pass!"

As he spoke, he circled around the tent, thinking about countermeasures.

"What good strategy do you two have?"

Li Zicheng's one-eyed widened and asked directly.

"If we were still in Ganzhou, we could have attacked Shaanxi when we were unprepared, but now we are in the Heshuo Special Department, the road is difficult, and it is too late."
