Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"The Great Khan has an order that the first climber will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be promoted to three ranks!"

"The Great Khan has an order that the first climber will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and be promoted to three ranks!"

Outside Zhangjiakou Chengguan, in the midst of gunpowder and smoke, there was a Houjin Ruishi holding a herald flag and riding a horse in front of Houjin Xiandeng's soldiers, galloping and shouting.

The Zhangjiakou city tower is still majestic, even though the city wall is covered with blood and full of potholes under bombardment, the broken Dahenglong Banner at the top of the city still stands firmly between the blood and fire,

The Houjin Zhongjun is Zhenghong, which is directly under the Great Khan, and it is lined up with two red flags. Under the banner of the Central Army, there are Houjin Dashan Daishan and a group of Houjin Banner leaders Baylor.

For a corrupt system, crisis will only accelerate the spread of corruption, and will only accelerate the collapse of this corrupt system.

But for a nascent and efficient system, crisis will only make it more efficient and more united.

Just like the Houjin after Nurhachi's death in the Ming Dynasty, it is the latter.

In history, when Huang Taiji ascended the throne, internal struggles were not without fierceness.

But in this era, under the terror and deterrence brought by Li Xiu, Dai Shanzhi came to the throne without the slightest objection. Prince Baylor, who was supposed to fight endlessly, had to suppress his ambition under this oppression, and for the sake of Houjin as a whole. And work together.

"This mouth is hard to chew!"

At this moment, Daishan and the others stared at Zhangjiakou, which they had besieged for more than half a month, but still stood in front of them, and they couldn't help being dazed.

It seemed that ever since their father Khan killed Daming in battle, the originally invincible Houjin Iron Cavalry had never had a smooth battle no matter whether it was facing Daming or the current Daheng.

Shanhaiguan blocked them tightly, the most powerful pass in the world, coupled with the harassment of the Denglai Navy, so it can be figured out.

However, although this family's mouth is a famous border city, it is obviously impossible to compare with Shanhaiguan in terms of city defense fortifications and military garrison.

However, they still blocked them under the entrance of this house, and they were besieged for more than half a month, but they never really stepped into the land of Daheng.

The invincible Hou Jin Bingfeng seems to be completely useless as long as he faces Li Xiu...

If it wasn't for the Korean War, it had already been proved that the Houjin Bingfeng was still sharp, and they all doubted whether the Houjin Eight Banners had become as corrupt and depraved as the Ming Dynasty!

"This Xuanfu chief soldier is a tough one!"

Looking at the scarred Zhangjiakou in front of him, Dai Shan frowned: "The general is the courage of the soldier, Liu Guoneng, he is a general who dares to fight and kill!"

Abai couldn't help shouting a few words:

"This Liu Guoneng is really a lunatic. As the commander-in-chief of a town, he personally puts on his clothes and takes the lead. Every time we are the first to ascend the sharp soldiers and are kicked out, it is the result of this lunatic personally leading people into battle..."

"Damn it, we took all the forts on the border of Xuanfu, and only the lonely city of Zhangjiabao is left. If you don't retreat like this, you have to fight us to the death in this fort!"

"It's a man!"

Dai Shan couldn't hide his appreciation, and then looked at Abai who was beside him: "Abai, you are the first to climb up. After breaking the city, you must capture Liu Guoneng alive. Such a general, a high-ranking official with a generous salary, I will not be stingy!"

"Khan, just wait, and promise to catch that Liu Guoneng!"

Abai clasped his fists and patted his chest as a guarantee, and then strode away.

"How is the progress of Dorgon's department?"

Abai took the order to leave, Daishan was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked.

"As planned, Abu Nai led the army to attack Xifengkou, and has successfully attracted the various departments of Daheng from Jizhen..."

"Dorgon has secretly led the army to the predetermined location according to the plan. As long as we break through this gate, Dorgon's troops can arrive in Zhangjiakou within two days..."

Daishan nodded, looking at Zhangjiakou City, which blocked them for half a month, but he didn't have the slightest despair under Shanhaiguan, only longing for the victory of this war.

In Shanhaiguan, they had no choice but to stick to one road, but now, it is different, the vast and stretching Daheng northern border, countless passes, coupled with the absolute advantage of military strength, they have too many strategic choices.

It seems that the three armies are attacking the three towns, but in fact, there is only one center of gravity, and that is Datong, the main force led by Emperor Daheng himself!

Lin Danhan led the main Mongolian army to attack Datong head-on, attracting the main force led by Emperor Daheng and the main forces of the three sides.

He led the main force of Houjin to attack Xuanfu, seemingly breaking through Zhangjiakou, entering Xuanfu, and intimidating Juyongguan. In fact, he made a detour and attacked Datong from the back, and flanked the main force of Daheng Emperor back and forth with Lin Danhan!

As for Dorgon's part, one was divided into two, one part was the sheep attacking to contain the main force of Daheng Ji Town, and the other part also detoured from the Xuanfu to attack Zijingguan by surprise, cutting off the main force of Daheng Emperor.

From beginning to end, all strategic deployments have only one goal, which is also the ultimate goal of this battle!

The main force led by the undefeated Daheng Emperor, even if they came to the capital or even captured the capital, it would only make the already boiling situation in the Daheng world boil even more, and make the Daheng's fragile rule over the world collapse.

Regarding the basic situation of Emperor Daheng, the northern provinces suppressed by strong troops will still be tightly gathered under the command of Emperor Daheng, and there will not be much damage.

Even, to a certain extent, when they captured the capital and overthrew Daheng's weak rule over the world, they were directly overturning the mess left by the former Ming for him, Li Xiu, and taking the heavy former Ming's body from Li Xiu's body. The burden of the country was directly unloaded.

Passively let Li Xiu be debt-free!

Without the mess of the previous Ming Dynasty, without the political and economic burdens of the previous Ming Dynasty, although he, Li Xiu, lost the legal principles to rule the world, and also lost the ruling institution to rule the world, he can stop worrying about the world and run his mighty army with peace of mind. , and an efficient and powerful Junxun Group.

Then... fight the world again, completely rebuild the jurisprudence that belongs to him, Li Xiu, and the ruling class that belongs to him, instead of inheriting the corruption of the previous Ming Dynasty.

Such a result is obviously not what they want to see. To some extent, such a result is obviously more threatening to them!Also more terrifying.

After all, between a Daheng mired in a quagmire and endless internal worries, and a military group operating efficiently and invincibly without any burden, it is obviously clear which one is more terrifying.

Only by defeating Li Xiuzhi's main force head-on and completely destroying Li Xiu's undefeated myth, this possibility will not appear.

Li Xiu's threat to them will be minimized.

Only when this step has been reached can the world be completely torn apart. Even if Li Xiu has the ability to return to heaven, he can only hope and sigh!

And at that time, the world of China, for them, will naturally be arbitrary...

Chapter 398 The sky has no eyes!

"Give up Jiangnan..."

Outside the city of Datong, surrounded by armies, in the tent of the emperor, the emperor held a plan proposed by the general staff, and his expression was obviously cloudy.

Jiangnan, a collective term in a broad sense, is half of the world, and it is also the most important place for taxation in the world since the clothes and hats crossed to the south.

But the sad thing is that in the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of years of nurturing scholars created a deformity of the integration of officials and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River.

If everything goes according to this special group, then Jiangnan can barely be used by the imperial court.

Of course, this use is under the premise of not touching their interests.

Once their interests are touched, even if it is just the slightest, they will inevitably encounter a strong backlash.

In history, regarding sea bans, finance and taxation, there were so many people with lofty ideals in the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, either the people died and the government died, or they just let it go.

As for him, Li Xiu, since his rise, his status as a warrior and his style of not cooperating with him have destined him not to be accepted by the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the gentry in the world, let alone his military reform, which seriously offended their core Benefit.

Historically, the reason why Li Zicheng declined at an unimaginable speed after his defeat was that when Li Zicheng entered the capital, the gentry and landlords enthusiastically joined their new masters, but were slaughtered by Li Zicheng.

There were no gentry and landlords to help Li Zicheng stabilize the world, and Li Zicheng didn't have a stable base. Once he was defeated, he would naturally be defeated like a mountain.

And Li Xiu, strictly speaking, is not in a much better situation than Li Zicheng.

The reason why he has always been tolerant of literati, even if he usurped the country for self-reliance, he did not cleanse the old officials of the former Ming Dynasty in the slightest, is to stabilize the hearts of the gentry all over the world.

But if the situation in the world is stable, such tolerance under the power may also make the world's gentry hold their noses and shout long live.

But obviously, with the current world situation, they have too many choices. Moreover, what Li Xiu did was contrary to the traditional gentry and landlord class.

The two, above the innate, are on opposite sides.

Although this military aristocratic class represents Li Xiu's will, it seems that the traditional gentry and landlord class is dissatisfied with Li Xiu's will.

But in a sense, it's actually very simple. The world's plate is so big. In the past, this plate belonged to the traditional landlord class. Everything was decided by them, and everything was in their pocket.

However, with the rise of the emerging military aristocratic class, it will naturally take away the interests and voice of the traditional gentry and landlord class.

This is a conflict of interests between classes. Although there is room for the two to coexist harmoniously, what is needed is Li Xiu's concession to the gentry and landlords, and the stability of people's hearts, and these two are undoubtedly the same nowadays. impossible things.

Therefore, Li Xiu, no matter how tolerant he was to the gentry and landlords, in terms of politics and economy, in fact, he was no longer tolerated by the mainstream.

The reason why he was able to support him was never the ruling class of gentry and gentry with evil intentions, and he was never accepted by the traditional gentry and landlord class of this era.

He was able to come to the present, and he was able to stand at the top, relying only on the military and aristocratic class under his command.

Only the military aristocratic class under his command has a complete community of interests with him.

And the land in the south of the Yangtze River has always been where his strength is weak, and it has always been a place where he is opposed to Li Xiu and his military nobles.

Jiangnan accounted for at least half of the mess of the former Ming Dynasty!

As far as the current situation is concerned, the proposal of the General Staff Department obviously has more advantages than disadvantages.

He tried his best in Jiangnan, and made various arrangements, but there was no return at all, and it also restrained too much energy from him and his military noble group.

If you give up Jiangnan directly, let the situation in Jiangnan spread, and concentrate on stabilizing the basic situation of the military and aristocratic class in the north.

In the future, we will send troops to the south of the Yangtze River to suppress the disobedience,

Abandoning the huge burden of Jiangnan in this way, the soldiers and horses originally used to check and balance the gentry and wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, as well as the financial resources of banks and merchants, can also be moved back to the north.

In this way, it seems to be a good thing for Daheng in this war.

A lot of thoughts circulated, and finally, the emperor shook his head and forcibly suppressed this thought.

The General Staff only considered the pros and cons of the military, but the world has never been limited to the military.

He is Li Xiu, the commander-in-chief of millions of troops, and even the emperor of Daheng!

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Many things, no matter how difficult they are, must be persisted.

Abandoning land and losing land, this kind of thing, even if it is internal, must not set the slightest precedent!

This is the bottom line, the principle, and it must not be broken!

Li Xiu let out a long breath, turned his eyes away, and then fixed on the military situation map in the tent.

Between the brows, it is also difficult to hide worry.

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of invading enemies, if it is just a simple war, he will not be afraid at all.

However, this war is not just a war...

Politics, economy, military...and the most unpredictable...people's hearts...

Unless he can repel all future enemies in a very short period of time.

Otherwise, the situation will only become more corrupt, and the things he doesn't want to see will eventually happen.

But... no matter how much he uses soldiers like a god, he still can't escape the restrictions of the world.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu turned around slowly, and his gaze was also fixed on the stack of notebooks on the table, which originated from Jin Yiwei's information notebooks.

Now, the war in northern Xinjiang is raging, the world is in chaos, and the capital seems to be... turbulent!

……

"Your Highness, they all have ulterior motives. They just want to take advantage of you, Your Highness. You must not trust them!"

In Shouwang's mansion, Wang Chengen was prostrate on the ground, wailing and begging, his face was full of despair!

He has always known that the little emperor is precocious, but he never thought that the little emperor, who is only six or seven years old, has such a plan!

She made excuses to send him out of the mansion, but after more than ten days, when he came back, the Shou Wang, who was supposed to be isolated from the world and live a carefree life, was already involved in the vicissitudes of the outside world!

"I am the son of the Ming Dynasty, a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and it is only right to be loyal to me!"

"Zhen, repeating the sun, moon, mountains and rivers is only natural!"

"Why not? Why not?"

Among Zhu Cihong's immature faces, there is a maturity far beyond his age, and his words are clear and orderly. At first glance, there is an unspeakable majesty.

For a moment, Wang Cheng'en was speechless, and then, in deep darkness, he kowtowed to Zhu Cihong again, remaining silent.

"You have to stop me?"

Zhu Cihong scolded.

"The slave is not stopping His Highness, the slave just doesn't want His Majesty to take the risk himself!"

Wang Chengen kowtowed and said, "If your majesty has the heart, you can control it secretly. When everything is perfect, your majesty will come out to control the overall situation. If this is the case, the slave will have no objection!"

"When the sky is changing, if I don't stand up and call on the subjects of the world, how will I face the subjects who are eagerly looking forward to it? How is this different from living in idling?"

"Your Majesty thinks that he doesn't know all this?"

Zhu Cihong froze for a moment, but soon, her immature face became firm again:

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!"

"I am a descendant of the Zhu family and a son of the Great Tomorrow, so why should I be afraid of death!"

The words caught his ears, and Wang Chengen stared blankly at the little emperor in front of him, this familiar yet extremely strange little emperor.
