"Hey, this Beijing city has really changed a lot, there are three layers of fortresses coming and going, and the innermost layer is still a mountain city. Chongqing, the northern capital of our Dashun, can't be compared...... It's still being reinforced! It seems that His Royal Highness King Gong is preparing to fight with the people of the Zhu Ming court in Beijing City! Good! Good! Good! ”

Huang Shu, the secretary of the Dashunli government, was now dressed in a faint blue official uniform, wearing a black black veil, riding a tall horse, accompanied by Sony, into the majestic Beijing fortress.

Huang Shu has been a jinshi in the middle of the year, and he has also been an official in Beijing, so he is quite familiar with the city of Beijing, but this time he saw him again, but he almost didn't recognize it.

Beijing has not only been transformed into a three-story fortress inside and outside, but also has a level, the innermost layer of coal mountain fortresses is layered on top of each other, and it is not easy to attack it!

"Chongqing, the northern capital? Do you still have Nandu in Dashun? "Sony was also very interested in the Great Shun Dynasty in the far southwest, so he also inquired.

"Yes," Huang Shu smiled, "The southern capital of Dashun is Kunming Mansion, and the fort is built on Wuhua Mountain in the city of Kunming Mansion, called Wuhua Palace." In the past few years, the emperor of Dashun has lived in Wuhua Palace for most of his time, and he also set up a hall on the shore of Cuiwei Lake outside Wuhua Palace to teach martial arts, train new troops, and prepare for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains. ”

In Yunnan, the purpose of military training is the Northern Expedition?

Sony was a little skeptical when he heard this, "How did the Northern Expedition start from Yunnan?" Shouldn't it start from Hanzhong? Sending troops from Hanzhong can directly take Guanzhong! ”

Huang Shu waved his hand: "Bad, bad, it's not the time to have the world according to Guanzhong...... Guanzhong is cold and dry, bitter and barren, and has long been unable to call the world's heroes. Don't say that Sichuan, the land of abundance, and even Yunnan, which is known as remote, are far better than Shaanxi under the painstaking management of our dynasty. ”

Yunnan's economy is actually inferior to Shaanxi's, but Dashun and Daxi are both heartbroken in Shaanxi, so Li Guo, Li Laiheng and the Eight Kings of Yizheng are not very interested in the Northern Expedition to Shaanxi, but are very interested in developing Yunnan.

The territory of Yunnan is not small, and there is a lot of land that can be cultivated and cultivated, and there are many rich toasts that can be "eaten" for many generations. Therefore, in the past few years, the development focus of the Dashun Dynasty has shifted from Sichuan to Yunnan, and the effective military government system in Sichuan (including Hanzhong Mansion, Yunyang Mansion, and part of Gongchang Mansion) has been transplanted to Yunnan.

Moreover, in order to strengthen the control of Yunnan, Dashun also set up the southern capital in Kunming, which echoed the northern capital of Chongqing. In Kunming, a martial arts hall was also opened to train government officers and a government-run handicraft workshop for casting cannons and making guns.

However, no matter how Yunnan develops, it is still a bit incredible as a base for the Northern Expedition. With Yunnan as a base, it makes sense to go south to Burma......

Huang Shu can speak well, he lowered his voice and said to Sony: "And the use of soldiers is also a surprise!" When our Dashun soldiers go out of Shaanxi, Zhu Ming can think of it with his eyes closed, so he will definitely be fully prepared, we must not be like this! ”

"Then send troops from Yunnan?" Sony asked, "Hit Guizhou?" ”

Huang Shu pretended to be mysterious, "This is a military secret, how can I, a civilian official, know?" However, Suo Zhongtang can rest assured that as long as the news of the Ming army's large-scale encirclement of Beijing reaches Yunnan, my Dashun will definitely launch a northern expedition...... Hit him by surprise! ”

Sony frowned: "Beijing and Yunnan are thousands of miles apart, and the news doesn't spread so fast...... If Zhu Ming blocks the news, the news won't reach Yunnan for a year, right? ”

"How is that possible?" Huang Shu smiled, "Suo Zhongtang forgot how the official came from Yunnan?" ”

"You're ......" Sonny thought for a moment, "You're here by boat?" ”

Huang Shu smiled and nodded, "Yes, this official came by boat." ”

"Dashun now has Haikou?"

"It's been there for a long time!" Huang Shu's face was proud, "It's still the official who talked about it...... Now Burma is a foreign vassal of my Dashun Dynasty, and I Dashun has a Salem concession in Haikou, southern Burma. Therefore, the official went to sea from Salem in Burma, and took the Portuguese clipper boat to bypass Malacca and go north, but it took about a hundred days to reach the Port of Arthur. I chartered a boat at Lushunkou and went to Haikou in Yongping Province, and then came to Beijing from Yongping Province. ”

Now Yongping Mansion and most of Shuntian Mansion are still under the rule of Fulin - Yongping Mansion is connected to Shanhaiguan, and the land border between the Ming Dynasty and the Andong Protectorate is at Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou Pass. If the Ming army marches into Yongping Mansion now, it will inevitably make Jin Duoduo feel nervous, and it is also easy to cause friction.

In addition, the land around Yongpyeong Prefecture is basically a flag land, and the people of the Anteng Prefecture are trying to mobilize the "flag people" there to move to the northeast to become Han Chinese...... Of course Emperor Zhu didn't want to keep those people! The land of Yongping Mansion has been favored by many heroes, and Emperor Zhu still has to reward people!

Huang Shu continued: "With this sea route, it will not be much difficult for us to exchange news between the two sides. Just let the Portuguese ship we hired sail to Xiangyun Island in Yong Binh Province to hide...... Once the Ming army besieged the city, the messenger could take the Portuguese merchant ship south to Burma, if the road was smooth, the fastest three months, the news could be sent to Kunming Wuhua Palace, and then my Dashun's heavenly soldiers would go north to the Central Plains! ”

Sonny thought for a moment, "Can the Portuguese ship enter Bohai Bay?" ”

"Yes!" Huang Shu said, "If you give money, you can get in...... Now the Beiyang Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty does not block the Bohai Bay very much, and the ship I am looking for is a western ship with a hard sail, which is very common in the southeast sea. ”

Huang Shu's boat is a small boat with a load of less than 100 tons, light and fast, although it is a hard sailing boat, but because the sailors who operate the boat are veterans, so it runs very fast. Moreover, the tax that should be paid by this boat is not short, and there are many certificates that should be done, it is a model boat, and it is not afraid of people to check, and it is very safe.

Sony thought for a moment, "That's fine...... The Ming army was bound to go on a northern expedition in the autumn, because they had to take advantage of the southeast wind in spring and summer to ship grain and equipment to Tianjin. Wait until the early autumn harvest to send troops, and you can grab our wheat again! And in autumn there is a lot of north wind, and your ship must be a good wind! ”

Not to mention, Baturu, the penultimate in the Qing Dynasty, will still fight, and his judgment is completely correct.

The time when the Ming army went north to attack Beijing was set in the early autumn of the eighth year of Hongxing (1655). It's almost a full year now!

The reason for the delay for so long is, of course, to dredge the Weihe River shipping and hoard supplies.

Now the Grand Canal is not passable, so it can only be transported by sea. When the Qing army retreated, it used the method of sinking ships to block and lock several shoals in the Wei River, and it had to spend some effort to salvage and dredge.

In addition, now that the wind is not in the right direction, although the boat can barely go north, it is not very convenient after all. Therefore, Shi Kefa can only wait in Tianjin Wei until next spring, and after the Weihe River freezes, he can hoard materials on a large scale.

With enough supplies, the siege of Beijing Castle is assured!

......

"What? Do you want to be a vassal to the Liukou!? also has to change his surname to Li, isn't this to recognize Li Zicheng as Amma? Not enough of my Amma? ”

In the coal mountain fortress, Jin Fulin listened to Huang Shu's request and was immediately unhappy.

It turned out that Huang Shu brought Li Guoce's holy decree to entitle Jin Fulin as the king of Dashun Gong and the envoy of Youzhou Festival...... By the way, there is also the surname of the country.

Da Shunguo's surname is Li, so Jin Fulin is going to become Li Fulin!

However, Li Guo did not mean to accept his sons, he had several sons, so he didn't need Li Fulin to be filial to him, he just wanted to marry Li Fulin as brothers with the same surname......

"Your Royal Highness King Gong, you misunderstood, the emperor didn't let you recognize the old emperor as Ada," Huang Shu knew that Fu Lin had misunderstood Li Guo's request to bow down, and hurriedly explained, "It's to become brothers...... Nothing else! ”

Sonny also helped: "Lord Wang, I just worshiped my son and recognized my brother, and I didn't let you give Li Zicheng, it was Emperor Taizu who was his son." ”

"Then, why did you change your surname to Li?" Fu Lin said, "This is not a slave with three surnames?" I don't change my surname, I just give my surname...... The surname is Aixin Jueluo! ”
