Chapter 804: Human Comes South
At the end of October, after King Lu entered Beijing, the case of grain speculation by the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was quickly closed, Xie Sanbin, Song Zhipu and other five people were killed, the family property was rushed, Zhang Gongri was stripped of his title and demoted to a concubine, and other people who were coerced and implicated, some were deprived of their fame, and some were fined.
In short, Xie Sanbin was poured down, and the co-governance dynasty was fattened, and more than 14 million taels of assets were in hand, which was enough for the court to squander for a few years, and with the conclusion of the big case, the instability brought about by the change of power gradually stabilized.
The Ming army recovered Nanjing in August, and by the end of October the distribution of power was formally completed, and the internal turmoil was initially stabilized, and in more than two months, it can be said that they basically did not do their job, and it was all their own internal problems, but in fact, they wanted to do something, but they couldn't do it well, and from the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, all the armies thought that they were tired and needed to rest.
A war that lasted for more than half a year was enough to consume all the reserves of the Ming army, firearms, armor, and weapons, which needed to be replenished and repaired, and during this period, the Chu Party stabilized its ruling position, which is actually a gratifying thing.
In November, the weather is getting colder and colder, and a thick layer of ice has formed on the Xuanwu Lake in the east of Nanjing, which adults can't support, but children can play on it.
The old people said that a few decades ago, the weather was not like this, and I don't know how this has been abnormal over the years, and the emperor's edict does not work, sometimes it is okay, sometimes it is cold, and even the 24 solar terms are not allowed, so that they always delay the agricultural time and affect the harvest.
On this day, the inside and outside of Nanjing were wrapped in plain makeup, covered with a layer of snow, and there were snowflakes floating in the sky.
Dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe and a red cloak, Wang Yan led a group of officials through the streets, their shoes creaking through the snow.
The group came to the camp in Beicheng, and at the camp gate, several soldiers wore some bloated battle jackets, shrunk their hands in their sleeves, and kept pacing with their feet on the snow under their feet.
Seeing this, Wang Yan asked, "Have all the winter clothes of the armies been issued?" ”
"It's all finished, and the orders under the Wude, the workshops in Huguang and Guangnan are producing faster than the Ministry of Industry. Of course, these are the vast areas of the lake this year to change rice and cotton, and there is enough cotton, otherwise the winter clothes of hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to catch out. Li Suiqiu said.
Wang Yan nodded, relying on the workshop of the imperial court alone, it must not be able to catch up, "The military supplies can also be handed over to them for production, and the silver can be earned by them, but the quality must be guaranteed, who dares to make black hands on the military quartermasters, Lone will definitely not spare him, understand?" ”
Chen Yonghua knew that this was meant for him, so he immediately stepped forward, walked to Wang Yan's side, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have explained to them, and the inspection of the business is very strict, so there will be no mistakes." ”
Saying that, Wang Yan walked to the front of the camp gate, and the soldiers on duty saw Wang Yan and his party, and immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted.
As soon as one of the soldiers was shortened, he saw a pair of boots come to his side, and a red cloak was placed on him.
The soldier's mind suddenly went blank, and he was about to say thank you, when Wang Yan had already walked away with everyone, he heard a distant voice coming, "Is there enough charcoal fire in the army, isn't there a mine and road construction in Guizhou?" Felled trees can be burned into charcoal, stockpiled, and transported to the army. ”
The voice was far away, and the dozen or so soldiers at the camp gate stood up and cast envious glances like the cloaked soldiers.
In November, due to the abnormal weather, it was cold in the south of the Yangtze River and even colder in the north.
In the residence of the regent in Beijing, Dolgon was reviewing the folds in the warm pavilion, and his brows were furrowed, and it could be seen that most of the folds were troublesome.
The door of this warm pavilion was pushed open, and Prince Azig entered the house with a few snowflakes, and a cold wind poured into the house, and Dolgon was blown into the house, and he raised his head and saw that it was Azig, and he ignored it, and continued to bow his head and hold the pen to review the folds.
Azig turned around, closed the door, patted the snowflakes on his body, untied his cloak and bowl hat, set them aside, and then staggered to the brazier with a pigtail on the back of his head.
He dried his hands, let out a breath of white air, and said to Dolgon: "Fourteenth brother, the price of grain has risen again, twenty taels and one stone, I have no money to buy, my banner slaves have frozen to death and starved to death more than 2,000 people, if it goes on like this, even if it survives the winter, it will not be able to withstand the spring!" ”
Dolgon's relationship with Azig was not very good, but after the change of Haug and the departure of Daishan, he can now rely on the two brothers Azig and Duoduo, so he deliberately repaired the relationship with Azig and basically did not treat Azig as a regent in private.
Duo'er Roll listened to his words, and his face was gloomy, not only the problem of Qi slaves freezing to starvation, but also the entire north was plunged into a serious famine. In the midst of the pile of twists and turns in front of him, Mongolia was hit by a snowstorm, countless livestock froze to death, and people would inevitably starve to death if they ran out of food in the coming year.
The loss of Jiangnan not only caused a shortage of food, but also cotton cloth and other materials, and the blow to the Qing court could be said to be fatal.
Dolgon put down his pen and said in a deep voice: "I have sent someone to Xi'an to find Haoge to borrow grain, he occupied Chengdu, and the armistice with the Southern Dynasties, there should still be some grain." ”
Hauge has already established a name in Xi'an, the country name is Jin, the year name is Yongzhang, and he has ascended the throne as the Great Emperor, and Dolgon can be said to be incompatible with him.
Azig was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a soft bow to Hauge?" Besides, Hauge is unlikely to help us! ”
'There's no way around it, it's not going to do Haug much if we lose, he should be able to see that. It doesn't matter if you are soft, as long as you can borrow food, and when you get through the current difficulties, you can talk about other things. ”
Although Azig is big, he can now understand Dolgon's distress, and sighed, "I only knew how to rob silver and kill people, but now I know that it is useless to have silver alone, so it is better to get more food." ”
When Dolgon heard him say this, he didn't know how to answer for a while, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was too smooth a few years ago, just like pie falling from the sky, it was easy to get, and naturally they wouldn't cherish it, but even if they wanted to cherish it and govern it, they didn't have that ability.
Dorgon was silent for a while, then looked up at Azig, "Haug's side can't be fully counted on, that kid is sometimes stunned, he hates me to the core, in case we don't borrow it, we have to be prepared ourselves." Someone has already proposed to go south to loot, I want Brother Eleven to take a trip, this time don't take the infantry army, if you meet a big city, you will go around, and if you meet a small city, you will rob, and you should be able to get a batch of food back. ”
