As Queen Zhou finished speaking, the whole venue suddenly quieted down, and everyone didn't dare to look around, but the corner of their eyes couldn't help but drift to Xu Changqing's side, and there was an indescribable restless atmosphere in the air surging rapidly.

Xu Changqing's brows also furrowed slightly.

Queen Zhou's appearance is undoubtedly a big problem for herself.

In later words, it was a bit like 'being a referee and being an athlete.' ’

In a normal state, this is definitely not a problem, and others, 'hugging' can't do much good to themselves, not to mention that it is the queen of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and Queen Zhou, who is about to transform into the queen mother, will personally propose it.

However, this is not an abnormal state after all!

Even though Xu Changqing has the great merit of capturing the slave chief at this time, if he does this now, it is inevitable that he will be a little 'too ugly'.

In particular, Queen Zhou is clearly suspected of 'forcing the palace'!

Queen Zhou also realized her rashness at this time, and looked at Xu Changqing with pity, and the kind of ingenious intention was almost undisguised.

Xu Changqing sighed slightly in his heart.

Queen Zhou, a woman, does not have the quality to achieve great things after all......

However, she is not too stupid, she has a strong desire to survive, and she wants a lot of things, which also makes it easier for Xu Changqing to control the whole situation.

"The queen is very loving, and the minister Xu Changqing is grateful. However, the minister has already received the news that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been mobilized in full force, and the troops will be sent to my Shandong Left Association in the near future. ”

"What?"

"Qing army, Qing army is coming to Shandong Left Association?"

Queen Zhou was stunned for a moment, and the next moment there was some unconcealable horror in her beautiful eyes.

How did you think that after a few days of settling down in Haicheng, these nasty Tartars would come over again?

But Empress Zhou soon came back to her senses, Xu Changqing had made such a great achievement, Dolgon was probably going crazy, how could he not react?

At this time, there were many people, and it was obviously not the time to say more, so it was enough for her to show this attitude to Xu Changqing, and she hurriedly smiled dignifiedly: "Uncle Zhongyi, since the military situation is urgent, then everything is still based on military affairs." This palace also knows that Uncle Zhongyi is busy with military affairs, so let's do it tomorrow night, tomorrow night this palace will hold a banquet here, invite Uncle Zhongyi's family, and talk about Kunxing by the way, what does Uncle Zhongyi think? ”

Xu Changqing smiled and bowed deeply: "Minister Xu Changqing, thank the queen for her grace!" ”

……

Leaving the new official hall and returning to the old official hall, Xu Changqing did not rush back to the back house, but returned to the official hall with Li Yan, Li Hongyun, Yang Zhongliang, Xu Zhong and other bigwigs of the political affairs department.

Li Yan said: "My lord, according to the current situation, this year's spring ploughing in the north, including the surrounding area, I am afraid that it will be abandoned again." If the walls are not cleared, the losses may be incalculable. ”

Li Hongyun said: "This is also something that can't be helped. Even if the lord does not take the Manchu court to open the knife, it is very likely that the Qing army will still harass our Shandong Left Association when the spring ploughing comes. It's a pity that there is no Great Wall in Shandong, if there is a Great Wall, how can these dogs and Tartars be so presumptuous? ”

"Lord ......"

Everyone expressed their opinions, and they all felt a little distressed.

Xu Changqing was also a little distressed in his heart, but there was no way, this was the law of the development of things.

Shandong is indeed a good place, which can be attacked and defended, with fertile land and abundant products.

However, it is precisely because of this strong location advantage that Shandong at this time has become the biggest disadvantage.

Without Liaodi and Shanhaiguan, Shandong has become an outpost battlefield facing the Qing army at this time.

This waste of productivity, the turmoil caused by chaos, and the loss to the economy as a whole are simply incalculable!

But in comparison, it's all worth it!

Scanning everyone, Xu Changqing nodded slowly and said, "If you want to get it, you have to pay!" In the northern region over the years, we have not invested much manpower and material resources, and we have not developed much, and we can still afford this loss! Go as planned! Remember, you must do a good job of the people, and if you can take the sea route, don't take the land route! ”

Everyone sighed a little, but at this time, they could only accept it.

After all, if you don't do this well, once the Qing army comes, these poor people will become lambs who have no power to fight back.

After chatting about the Qingye of the strong wall, Li Yan shifted the topic to the spread of this big victory.

Is it to release the news now, or to wait until the main force of the Qing army has been defeated, and then release the news.

Li Yan knew some of Xu Changqing's plans, and these two choices had their own advantages and disadvantages.

Putting the news out now, while improving the morale of the entire Ming Dynasty, will undoubtedly bring more pressure to Xu Changqing, and at the same time, it will also make many black-box operations difficult to implement.

And after defeating the main force of the Qing army, and then releasing the news, the depth and choice will be greater.

Even if there is a black-box operation, it is difficult to expose it.

Xu Changqing thought about it for a long time, but decided to release the news now!

The Ming Dynasty, including the whole of China, has really been suppressed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for too long!

Xu Changqing would rather take on some more pressure by himself, and he also wanted to bring up this spirit first!

……

After finishing these important military and political affairs, Xu Changqing returned to the hall of the back house, Yang, Li Youwei, and Wu Sanmei were still waiting for Xu Changqing, but the children were already asleep, and the hearty meal was already cold.

This made Xu Changqing feel a little guilty in his heart.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Yang, Li Youwei, and Wu Sanmei are used to Xu Changqing's busyness, especially when they also know the core of many things at this time, they are not embarrassed for Xu Changqing, they all put the children in the cradle, and the family happily reheats the dishes and eats.

If it was a normal state, Xu Changqing would definitely go to Li Youwei's yard to rest first after dinner, but at this time, Wu Sanmei was about to give birth, but she suddenly faced this situation of imminent 'cannibalism'......

Li Youwei pulled Xu Changqing aside and said in a low voice, "Xu Lang, you should go to the third sister's courtyard first tonight." Coax her well, these days, she has been crying a lot, Da Lang, wait until tomorrow morning when you come to see him. ”

Xu Changqing's heart couldn't help but feel a little hot.

It is no wonder that the sages said: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous, marry a concubine and marry a face." ”

Li Youwei's reasonableness and consideration of the overall situation not only made Xu Changqing's back house a lot more stable, but also allowed Xu Changqing to save a lot of energy and use it on the blade.

"Youwei, thank you for your hard work......"

Xu Changqing didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only hold Li Youwei in his arms.

Li Youwei glanced at Xu Changqing lightly, "Okay, old husband and wife, I'm not a little girl." As long as you remember me and Da Lang. Go over early, enlighten the third sister, and I'll make you breakfast tomorrow morning. ”

When Xu Changqing came to Wu Sanmei's courtyard, sure enough, as Li Youwei said, Wu Sanmei was washing her face with tears.

Seeing Xu Changqing coming, Wu Sanmei hurriedly knelt on the ground with a big belly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

Xu Changqing hurriedly helped Wu Sanmei up, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

This is the tragedy of human ethics, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, but I don't have much choice......

"Third sister, what's wrong? Have someone cook it? ”

Xu Changqing smiled and pinched Wu Sanmei's cheeks, which were obviously a lot fatter and felt better.

It's a pity that Wu Sanmei's world is dim at this time, and Xu Changqing's teasing of her in the past is very useful, but it is difficult to make waves.

Wu Sanmei didn't speak, just leaned on Xu Changqing's arms, sobbing lowly.

Xu Changqing didn't have any good way for a while, so he could only hold her hard, and when she had cried enough and was tired of crying, he smiled and said, "Third sister, do you remember what I promised you before?" No matter what, I will do my best to take care of and protect the safety of the second and third brothers. ”

"Brother—"

"It's all my fault, if you don't marry me, now, now it won't be so difficult to do, woo woo woo, I'm really a broom star......"

Wu Sanmei's slightly stopped tears gushed out like a spring.

But Xu Changqing already had a belly case at this time, and whispered a few words in Wu Sanmei's ear with a smile.

Wu Sanmei's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she pinched Xu Changqing angrily, "Brother, you, when has this happened, you are still bullying me......"

However, after a while, Wu Sanmei's pretty face gradually cleared up.

More than an hour later, seeing Wu Sanmei sleeping sweetly beside her, Xu Changqing's face was a little gloomy.

Xu Changqing will indeed keep the lives of the Wu family, but they must pay the price for their choice!

……

The next morning, after having breakfast with Li Youwei and Da Lang, Xu Changqing was hesitating whether to talk to Li Youwei about Zhu Yujiao now, but Li Youwei took the initiative to talk about it, looked at Xu Changqing with a smile and said, "Xu Lang, don't you feel sorry for me?" ”

“……”

Xu Changqing was a little speechless, and then couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Youwei, now that I think about it, I'm sorry for you and the third sister, it's really a bit too much." But Princess Kunxing, you know, I didn't choose ......"

Li Youwei sighed faintly: "Xu Lang, if you have a choice, I would prefer you to be the little general in Liaodi back then, even if you are not rich, at least our life can go on, but now ......"

Li Youwei held the fat little hand of Da Lang, who was still sleeping: "So many people have to rely on you, and even the entire national fortune of the Ming Dynasty is pressed on your shoulders, how can I pull your hind legs?" Don't worry, Xu Lang, I'll do the work at home. However, Kun Xing can only be the third! ”

Xu Changqing is already very satisfied with this result, of course, Zhu Yujiao's side is still indispensable to have some entanglements.

But that's what life is, it's a balance, finding problems, solving problems, and preventing problems.

Seeing that Da Lang was still asleep, Xu Changqing smiled and hugged Li Youwei in his arms and whispered a few words in a low voice.

"Huh?"

Li Youwei's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she just wanted to say something, but she was directly picked up by Xu Changqing......

……

When he came to the official hall, Xu Changqing was still a little weak for a while.

Fortunately, Mei Yan was on duty here today, and Xu Changqing hurriedly asked her to hurry up and get some sea cucumber and abalone to open a small stove to make up for her body.

Mei Yanqiao's face couldn't help but turn red, she understood what Xu Changqing meant, and hurriedly cleaned up.

Seeing Mei Yan twist her more and more bewitching waist and leave, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigar, and began to deal with military affairs.

At this time, in the territory of Shandong Zuoxie, located north of Haicheng and north of the Daqing River, there were about 30,000 or 40,000 households, with a population of less than 200,000.

In fact, as early as Xu Changqing's previous trip to Denglai, after buying Zhifu Island, Yangma Island, Liugong Island and other big islands, he has been planning this matter and immigrated from Daqing Hebei.

But this work is obviously not easy to do, and the effect is very mediocre.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have paid attention to returning to their roots, and it is also difficult to leave their homeland, but if they have a choice, they will never leave their homeland easily.

At this time, this opportunity can be regarded as a new opportunity.

In Xu Changqing's framework, the Daqing River will become a new barrier, just as the Ming Dynasty's 'Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji', Haicheng will become the forefront of Xu Changqing and the Shandong Left Association against the Qing army.

This can ensure that with Haicheng as the center, Qingzhou in the rear, including Denglai and other relatively wealthy areas, will be guaranteed in all aspects, so as to feed Haicheng back.

Of course, according to the current state, this is still very difficult.

It is not impossible for Xu Changqing's 'kindness to be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs'.

But the difficulties are meant to be solved!

Xu Changqing no longer has any reason to retreat at this time!

These aspects of work, long before setting off for Shanhaiguan, Xu Changqing had a full plan, at this time Li Yan and their implementation was relatively smooth, Xu Changqing did not have to worry too much, now the most critical thing is the military aspect.

Even if you think about it with your ass, Xu Changqing can know the tyranny and anger of Dolgon at this time!

If they can't recover the situation as soon as possible, even if they occupy the Jingshi and even many core areas in the north, they must not think about stability!

In fact, at this time, this state, whether it is the Great Qing Kingdom, the Great Shun Kingdom, or Xu Changqing and the Ming Dynasty, are all full of confusion and waste waiting to be revived.

Even though the Qing Kingdom has accumulated three generations, and the foundation is the most abundant from all angles, they are alien after all, and the criticality of this battle is no less than that of Salhu, which was led by the old slave back then!

It's done, everything is easy to say, and the blank paper is left to them!

But it didn't work!

The Great Qing Kingdom has not been in the past few years, I'm afraid I don't even want to relieve my breath.

And for Xu Changqing and Haicheng, the model army, and the hundreds of thousands of people around him, that kind of result is not to mention.

If you lose, everything will be lost, and even the venue for your life will be gone, and everything will become a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, and a bubble.

In this battle, people on both sides, no one can win or lose!
