Putting aside the gossip of Zhenghongqi, in the face of Dai Shan, a powerful minister of the Qing Dynasty, a powerful faction in the army, and a clan humerus, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang restrained her expression, suppressed her anger, and solemnly opened a newspaper handed over by Dai Shan. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

He had a hunch that the bad news would depend on what the newspaper said.

The newspaper is obviously the information that came back from the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Qing Dynasty's military strategy to govern the government has been repeatedly frustrated in recent years, the Qing Dynasty's intelligence funds have become more and more scarce. Especially after the eight Jin merchants in Shanxi were uprooted by the Ming people and all the family properties were auctioned, it was no longer difficult for the Qing people to find a few traitors as helpers.

Of course, no matter how clean the Qing people's meticulous killings are, there are always a few people left. It is impossible to continue to spy on classified information with these remaining details. But there's no big problem in getting the information back that is public.

There are many copies of the newspaper, but the headlines and content on them are largely the same. The things that can be reported by newspapers and magazines of all sizes in Beijing are obviously hugely influential, and no newspaper or magazine reports a major event that no one buys.

For the major events that happened to the enemy, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang must of course be very concerned. Especially...... He soon discovered that the matter was closely related to him.

"The auction of tens of millions of acres of fertile land in Liaodong is in full swing!"

"The Privy Council has introduced a meritorious exchange plan, and the meritorious services obtained by the officers and men in the army can be exchanged for Liaodong Tiandi from now on, and one meritorious service can be exchanged for one mu of Liaodong standard field."

"From now on, the subjects of the empire who are originally from Liaodong can register with the yellow register of household registration, receive fifty acres of land in their hometown, register immediately, and return to their hometown!"

"Return the Liao Order...... Returning the Liao Order...... Our Daqing Dynasty was sold like this! That dog emperor is so deceitful that he directly sold all my land in the Qing Dynasty! Is this really my Qing Dynasty a fish on the board? When the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang saw it, her eyes were dark, and almost a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out.

The Qing Dynasty still occupies Liaodong, but at present, this land has been sold by Zhang Luo, who beat gongs and drums in the Ming court.

Even, maybe the palace of this Shengjing City is also on the list of auctions.

If you think about it according to this line of thought, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang can't even help but have a thought: How much is my Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's life worth?

He didn't dare to think about it, but if he thought about it, he could understand how frustrating it must have been.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang couldn't help but want to sigh heavily.

In this world, he really felt that it was too difficult.

"Bully my orphans and widows......" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's heart was sour, and she was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry, but in front of Daishan, she had to keep the prestige of the Empress Dowager. She even understands that this Qing Dynasty is really in turmoil. If she, the queen mother, still has no opinion, crying and crying, then the hearts of the people are probably really going to disperse.

When the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.

For this point, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has never heard this sentence, but she knows this meaning very well.

She held on to the poignancy in her heart, calmed down, and said, "Second brother...... You are the Great Baylor of our Great Qing Kingdom. At present, the emperor is still young, and in state affairs, although I pay attention to this, I am a woman's family after all, and people's hearts are not together. If it was in the past, when the Qing Dynasty was thriving, it would be fine, there would always be Han silver women's houses to rob. But right now, it's the turn of the Ming people to hit the boundary of our Great Qing Kingdom. If you can't keep it, there are those people who have bad intentions and calculate it on themselves......"

After speaking, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang looked at Dai Shan's expression.

How did Dai Shan not know what the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang meant, this was waiting for him to express his position. Dai Shan has always been low-key, as Nurhachi's second son, Dai Shan has been able to live safely until now by relying on this low-key and convergence. Later, there were eight ***** in the family, and there was also such a desire for stability.

What's more, as the Prince of Li of the Great Qing Kingdom, Dai Shan is already under one person and above ten thousand. At this juncture when the two red flags were the main force of the Qing Dynasty, he really had nowhere to run.

Of course, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's worries are there after all.

If Dai Shan was encouraged to have any crooked thoughts, then the Great Qing Kingdom itself would be in chaos.

"The Queen Mother, rest assured, with me acting as a gooder, naturally we can't tolerate anyone in our Qing Dynasty who causes trouble for themselves. The Ming people have already weighed and sold our land in the Qing Dynasty, and my Dai Shan's head has also been hung on the Ming people's military merit book waiting to be exchanged for a merit medal. In such a situation, where is there room for me to take half a step back? The old minister is here today, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to agree clearly, where is our great Qing country going? Dai Shan paused, lest the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang not understand what she meant, and said in a low voice: "Now that the Ming people have sold the land of the Great Qing Kingdom, the time for the start of the Ming War should not be far away......"

"The big war, it's June, and it's all together in wartime, even if you deploy troops quickly, you can get September. On the day of the autumn harvest, don't the Ming people stop a little? After all, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this, Dai Shan said with a wry smile: "At present, all parts of southern Liaoning are rushing to plant, and Phoenix City in eastern Liaoning has occupied it for more than half a year, and it has already planted a crop of grain." Once the Ming people chose to start a war in the autumn, Liaonan could collect grain on the spot and buy grain from Korea. Even if there is no grain in southern Liaoning, it can be transported from Shandong. ”

"What about Liaoxi?" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked.

"Liaoxi...... That's the main force by land. Moreover, at the moment, after all, it is not fighting in the Ming Pass. Once the war starts, it will be fought in the territory of our Great Qing Dynasty. When the time comes, the Ming people will be able to feed the enemy...... "Dai Shan is an old soldier, and he clearly understands that the Qing Dynasty has entered the customs and looted several times.

Since it was an entry into the customs operation, it was obviously difficult to obtain military supplies from the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the characteristics of the Qing army's entry into the customs were very distinct, and all military funds were snatched from the enemy.

And in fact, almost every time it can be solved so smoothly. Not only did they grab food, but they also had gold, silver, jewelry, and coolie women, and they never lacked everything.

This mode of combat is clearly very enjoyable and capable of fully running the war machine to the maximum efficiency.

However, when such a position is reversed, it is extremely ironic that this mode of war of giving food to the enemy is all in the chest.

Thinking of the extreme shortage of food in the Qing Dynasty every year, and finally ushering in an autumn harvest and being robbed by the Ming army, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, who suffered from internal affairs, felt that her eyes were dark, and she couldn't help but say: "Shouldn't there be such difficulties?" ”

"Golden State and Fuzhou are both frontlines. Phoenix City is a hundred miles in circumference, and it is a war zone. Our Qing Dynasty seems to be a thousand miles away, but it is really stable, and the only ones who can barely supply military rations are Guangning, Haizhou, Liaoyang, and Shengjing...... Of course......" Speaking of this, Dai Shan paused, looking like he didn't know whether to continue to speak.

"Of course what?" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said: "It's all this time, is there anything else you can't say?" ”

"Of course, if you count Tieling, Jianzhou and other places, they are also the rear of my Qing Dynasty. Can...... Where should I go now? Retreat to the rear? Dai Shan stared at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

When the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang heard this, she wanted to speak, but she sat down again, closed her eyes, and thought carefully: "The ministers who will be in Beijing, call them over." ”

Dai Shan bowed and answered.

Soon, the famous and well-known people in the Jingshi were basically called into the octagonal hall.

The matter of returning the Liao order was circulated in the hands of everyone, and surprisingly, there was no righteous indignation, no indignation and shock, and some, just silence.

It's that lifeless silence.

Everyone was indifferent, looking at each other, and they all saw the heaviness and worry in each other's eyes.

The authorities in power here in the Great Qing Kingdom basically stood here.

The core is mainly Daishan, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Zierharang. In addition, there are Suke Saha, Kubilong, Erke Daiqing, Karantu, Aixing'a, and the rare appearance of two Han people: Ning Wan I and Fan Wencheng.

When everyone looked at the newspaper where the Ming Kingdom divided the land in Liaodong for auction, the first thing that came to mind was not anger, but indifferent silence.

If the Ming Dynasty is still the same weak as before, it wants to use the land of Liaodong in exchange for military spending. The Manchu Qing Dynasty must have been filled with righteous indignation, and they were angry to break through the Shanhaiguan Pass and severely punish the Ming people for their boldness. Because they know that the wise are weak and deceivable. The provocation of the weak will inevitably provoke the anger of the strong.

But if you say......

Da Ming is no longer weak?

Thinking of the defeats of the war, he tried his best again and again but was still reversed by the Akito. Along the way, Haug died, Dolgon died, and most recently, Sonny died.

The Manchu ministers who once sat in the octagonal hall died one by one in the hands of the Ming people, and the gap between the Ming and Qing dynasties gradually became the strong and weak of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

At this time, where is the strength to be angry?

For a sane person in power, the first thing that comes to mind is whether Mingren can really do it...... Take back the land they possess, and let all their wealth and power disappear.

The answer, obviously, is.

At this point, anger doesn't make sense.

What they have to think about is how to think about it...... How to cope.

"Intelligence...... Isn't it really a move by the Ming people? Fan Wencheng sniffed in a low voice.

The Manchu ministers in the room snorted coldly, but they rarely did not mock this traitor. It seems that when I saw this Han person, I remembered the powerful Ming Dynasty of that Han country.

On the side, Curb Pilon groaned for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it's not a heart-attacking move." Thinking of the actions of the Akito before, you can guess their purpose. The Red Lady broke into southern Liaoning, causing me to lose Lushunkou in the Qing Dynasty. Ni Yuanlu fought the naturalization city, and half of the southern Mongolian wall was shaky. These are all cutting off my Qing wings. It's as if ...... A foreplay. The dessert before the meal has been served, the main dish is good, how can there be a lack of ......"

When the crowd heard the parable of Suppilon, there was a buzz.

Ning Wan knelt quietly on the octagonal hall, lowered his head, and couldn't help but think: "When, in the face of the Ming people, I became the wine and meat on the table?" It seems that there is no power to resist. ”

Of course. He was just laughing at himself. This metaphor is nothing.

With the opening of the two of them, the atmosphere in the octagonal hall finally rose, and everyone discussed in a low voice, and soon, it almost became the words that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dai Shan had discussed.

The shock is followed by disbelief, and after disbelief, it is acceptance, and after acceptance, it is gradually adjusting emotions and discussing coping strategies.

And the countermeasures are nothing more than two: offense and defense.

"Since the Ming people launched a war at the time of the autumn harvest and fought with the attention of the enemy, then we naturally can't let the Ming people's treacherous plan succeed no matter what." Jierharang said: "In the Qing Dynasty, the price of grain was already boiling, and there was no Jin merchants in Shanxi, the Guanning army in Liaodong to sell grain, and there was no import from North Korea. The price of this grain has risen to heaven. If the Ming people break in and fight a battle again, even if they win the battle, they will be completely annihilated, but my Qing Dynasty will still be destroyed. Without food, how will we live next year? ”

"Grab the grain! Grain was levied, and in the Qing Dynasty, all grain was levied first. If you can't fight this battle now, what are you talking about next year? Sukh Saha said strongly.

When Fan Wencheng heard this, his face turned pale, and of course the grain was not taken from the Manchu nobles, but from the Han people. As far as they farm, if you don't grab it from them, where will you grab it? I only heard him tremble and say, "How many people will starve to death......"

"If you don't starve, you'll just starve." Zilharang snorted coldly.

Fan Wencheng's body shook and he didn't dare to say more.

"If you want to fight out, the key is how to fight? From the Mongolian detour, Guihua City is a nail, which can only be knocked on the Mongolian steppe, and it cannot hurt the Ming people at all. If you want to fight from Liaoxi, how should Liaonan and Liaodong be defended? Are there so many soldiers in the Qing Dynasty? Erke Daiqing said in a deep voice.

He is holding the middle of the argument, there is no conflict of positions, and everyone will calm down and be able to think carefully.

It's just that, thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but be silent.

Sukh Saha wanted to say a few tough words, but no matter how tough he was, it was useless if he didn't have the capital. He thought about it, but he really didn't know how to fight.

The Qing Dynasty did lose the ability to attack the heart of the Ming people.

"So, you have to keep it?" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked.

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, Dai Shan said: "Defend and counterattack." How can I not do the thing of luring the enemy into depth? Stuck on Jinzhou, I don't think it's necessary. The Guan Ning army has been dismantled, and the old opponent will not have half of his strength. Once I stumble with the Ming people in Jinzhou, Lushun in southern Liaoning, and the Ming army in Phoenix City in eastern Liaodong will swarm out, so that I can't take care of my head and tail. So...... We've got to let Akito go a little farther! ”

"Abandon Shengjing?" When they heard this, they were horrified.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang smiled bitterly: "This is not the first time......

Indeed, when Zhu Cihong attacked Shengjing, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang ran wildly, which saved her life.

"The foundation of my Qing Dynasty is not only this Liaodong, but also this white mountain and black water...... "Dai Shan said leisurely: "Lure the enemy deep and fight another Salhu, how can you not do it?" Who would have thought that the uprising of my thirteen deputy soldiers in the Qing Dynasty could achieve such a great cause. At present, the Qing Dynasty still has tens of thousands of soldiers, covering thousands of miles. I can fight another Salhu out! (To be continued.) )
