Reigned for five years in June.

Since the king of Chu moved his line here, the Daimyo's Mansion has been really lively for a while.

It has been almost two months since the end of the Central Plains War, and the Ming Dynasty has finally slowly straightened out the post-war situation during this time.

At present, Henan and Shandong have appointed officials from the three divisions, and the imperial court has restored its rule over the two provinces, and the righteous army in Shanxi is all over the place, and the situation is more complicated.

After taking control of these places, the organizational ability of the Ming Dynasty was manifested, and the government requisitioned a large number of people to dredge the Grand Canal in a very short time.

Due to the impact of the war, the production in the north was seriously damaged, and the imperial court only provided grain and a small amount of wages along the canal, and a large number of people poured to the canal.

This is also considered a cash-for-work scheme, and after the river is dredged, some of the people will be evacuated by the government, and some will become slender men along the canal.

Since its opening, the Grand Canal has been an extremely important economic belt in China, not only driving commerce along the route, but also allowing millions of people to make a living from it.

This time, when the canal was dredged, the Nanjing cabinet issued an order to abolish all checkpoints along the canal and prohibit local toll taxes.

During Wang Yan's reform in the south, one of the important measures was to abolish the centika in various places to ensure that goods could be circulated throughout the country and promote the prosperity of commerce in the Ming Dynasty.

If these centicards were not abolished, the merchants would transport the goods from Huguang to Nanjing, and pay taxes every time they passed, because I was afraid that when the goods were transported to Nanjing, the tax money would have already been higher than the value of the goods, hindering the circulation of goods, and the taxes collected by these centicards would not necessarily reach the hands of the imperial court, and most of them were greedy for ink by local officials, which could only create dissatisfaction among the people against the imperial court.

The commercial taxation of the Ming Dynasty focused on both ends and reduced the taxes and costs of intermediate circulation, which could not only eliminate a large number of tax collectors and reduce the expenses of the imperial court, but also reduce the contradictions with the people.

The small officials in these checkpoints are often very dark-hearted, and the big businessmen dare not offend, so they turn to the small traders, so that they take the benefits, but let the small traders remember the hatred of the court.

Reducing the tax on the circulation link can make a large number of southern materials stay in the north, and it is also conducive to the products of the north being sold to the south of the Yangtze River, so that the economy of the northern provinces can recover quickly.

After the canal was opened, the grain of the Ming army could be transported through the canal, and the Ming army, which stopped at the Daimyo's Mansion for nearly two months, finally moved forward to the vicinity of Nanpi, south of Cangzhou.

At the same time, Li Dingguo and Jiang Xiang also went out of Niangzi Pass, entered Zhending Mansion again, and forced Baoding.

Jiang Youguang of Xuanda also laid down Juyong Pass, from the northwest, threatening Beijing.

Because several armies were too far apart and it was not very convenient to command, they could only agree on an approximate time, and Wang Yan asked the Korean side to start in May, while he, Li Dingguo, Jiang Xiang, and Jiang Youguang agreed to march on June 10 and recover Shenjing.

For a time, Beijing was surrounded by the Ming army on three sides, and rumors were circulating throughout the north that before July, the official army would be able to recover Hebei and Shenjing.

At the beginning of June, the land of Hebei enters summer, but the weather is much more refreshing than that in the south.

At this time, a continuous drizzle began to fall in the sky, and the fields and ditches on both sides of the official road were full of rainwater, and the dense forests and mountains in the distance were hazy.

At this time, countless Ming soldiers wearing saucer helmets and robes were stepping on muddy water and heading north.

On the official road, there were also grain wagons covered with tarpaulins, carts loaded with straws and hay, and baggage wagons, accompanied by shouts and curses, mixed with the crackling of leather whips and the creaking of axles, as they marched northward.

As soon as the Ming army moved, the Qing army would know that the Ming Dynasty would not agree to negotiate and that Fulin Xiao'er would inevitably flee, so Wang Yan ordered that all armies should send troops on June 10 and advance at full speed, and they must enter Beijing as quickly as possible.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the official road, and a cavalry team of several hundred men came galloping in, and the hooves of the horses trampled in the mud puddles, splashing patches of mud, causing the soldiers to take refuge one after another.

The cavalry galloped for a while, the war horse roared, the front hooves hung in the air, the cavalry stopped in the middle of the ranks, raised the cavalry gun in his hand, and urged the soldiers: "Hurry up, we are the closest, we must rush to Beijing as soon as possible, and we can't let Jiannu escape!" ”

The people of Hebei couldn't help but rejoice when they saw the soldiers passing by on the official road, and everyone was happy, but the Qing army in Beijing was not happy.

After the coup d'état within the Qing court, Fulin took control of the voice, and he immediately sent Feng Quan to envoy to the Ming Dynasty, and soon received Feng Quan's reply.

Feng Quan said in the letter, "Although I haven't seen Wang Yan, I hope to talk about it after a long war in the Ming Dynasty." ”

After Fu Lin received the letter, his heart was like a reassuring pill, but as time passed, he never waited for the negotiation that Feng Quan said, but the non-stop actions of the Ming army made him restless.

Beijing, in the Forbidden City, Fu Lin just got the news that Jiang Youguang had defeated Juyong Pass, and he was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the empty hall with his hands in his hands, his face was full of anxiety, and a big eunuch stood next to him, not daring to make a sound.

At this time, Nikan hurriedly walked into the temple from the outside, and when Shunzhi saw him, he immediately stopped and asked urgently, "What's the situation?" ”

"Your Majesty, the king thief in the south has entered Cangzhou, the traitor Jiang Xiang in the southwest has been killed in Baoding, and the most worrying thing is in the northwest, Jiang Youguang has captured Juyong Pass, as long as he rushes for a day, he can kill the city of Beijing!" Nikan said in a deep voice.

Fu Lin's face turned pale for a while, his body took a few steps back, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Is there any news from Feng Quan and Lu Gong?" Didn't they say that the Ming army had the intention of negotiating? What did they talk about, and why did the Ming army march on Beijing? ”

Fu Lin's face was distorted, and his face was full of unacceptability.

Nikan didn't expect that things would be like this, wasn't the Ming army afraid that the Qing Dynasty would destroy the city of Beijing? But the facts are in front of us, maybe they were really wrong this time.

"Your Majesty, Feng Quan hasn't sent back news for half a month, and judging from the information he sent back before, maybe the Ming Dynasty is deliberately delaying, and they march in three directions, which means that there is no intention of negotiating, and we are afraid that we will be fooled." Nikan bowed his head and said in a deep voice.

Fu Lin was annoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect to be said right by Lou Qin and Luo Keduo and his group, but everyone is dead, and it is useless for Fu Lin to regret it, and it is impossible for him to admit his mistakes, let alone admit that after Dolgon's death, he can still be counted so far.

"So what now?" After Fu Lin's anger, the whole person fell into a slump.

Nikan raised his head, "Your Majesty, withdraw!" He said urgently, "While the Ming army has not yet encircled Beijing, we will withdraw immediately, and it is still too late." ”

Beijing will definitely not be able to hold it, although withdrawing now is equivalent to slapping itself in the face, but in the face of life, a slap in the face is a fart.

Fu Lin was silent for a moment, and then said hatefully, "Okay, since the king and thieves are forcing each other like this, I will burn down Beijing and then evacuate immediately." ”

Nikan frowned, but he didn't stop it, he also had a lot of anger in his heart, since the Ming army had no intention of negotiating, the Qing army naturally wanted to burn Beijing and attack the Ming Dynasty.

"Then go and prepare!" Nikan immediately saluted, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a man enter the temple in a hurry.

The person who came was none other than Wang Yuele of Anjun, and after he entered the palace, he didn't care about saluting, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good!" Shenyang was captured by the North Koreans! ”

In May, after the Heluo Society took away the elite of the Manchu soldiers, Lin Qingye took the North Korean army and easily entered Shenyang, in order to retaliate against the Manchus, tens of thousands of clothes were killed by the North Koreans, and only a few people escaped from the city and brought the news to the Guannai.

Fu Lin and Nikan's eyes bulged, their eyeballs almost fell off, and Shenyang was occupied, so can they still go back to Guanwai?

"What about Heluohui?" Nikan asked with red eyes suddenly.

Yue Le shook his head, "I don't know, it is said that it was withdrawn to Xingjing, but what happened now, no one knows." ”

"What now? What to do? Fu Lin walked back to the throne in a distraught, slammed his butt on the dragon chair, and muttered in his mouth.

Yue Le and Nikan didn't know what to do, the nearest Ming army was only a day's journey away, and they could be killed in three days.

The Ming army was obviously prepared, and now they are going to Guanwai, that is, there is a blockade in front and a pursuit in the back, and most of them are going to be defeated.

"Go to Korqin!" When the hall was silent, a rather majestic female voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

A few people inside hurriedly turned their heads to look, and saw Bumu Butai walking into the main hall with the support of the palace maid. She glanced at Nikan and Yue Le first, snorted coldly, and then walked to the dragon chair and said to Fu Lin, "You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but you are also the nephew of the Mongolian Prince of Korqin Zhuoliktu!" ”

"Yes, you can go to Horqin!" Fu Lin reacted, his heart was overjoyed, and he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.

However, at this moment, Chang Adai ran up to the palace and said in a panic, "The emperor is not good, the Ming army has landed in Yongping·····
