Quang Ninh City is located in the city of Bac Ninh, which is an inconspicuous place in Liao Province that looks insignificant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 But all this is because the three eastern provinces are all under the jurisdiction of the central government, and they are solid internal territory. Naturally, there is nothing important or unimportant.

But in Daming, of course, the situation is two.

Although Mongolia in the north briefly returned to peace during the Jiajing period and used the mutual market to obtain the peace of the war on the northern front, in the east, because of the Jurchens in Liaodong, Guangning became a military town in Liaodong.

The strategic location here is very important. First of all, geographically, this is the throat of western Liaoning, the gateway to guard the mountain customs, and the barrier to defend the Jingshi.

For this reason, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been heavy garrisons, and it was once the highest military organ in Liaodong.

At the same time, because the place where the Ming Jingshi and Mongolia are directly bordered is the vast Yanshan, the place where it is more convenient to communicate with the Mongols is not in Xuanda Shanxi, but in Guangning, Liaodong.

As for the east of Quang Ninh, the situation is obvious. It was a Jurchen from the white mountains and black waters.

As a result, it became a military center where the Ming Dynasty controlled Mongolia in the west and suppressed the Jurchens in the east. He was the king of Liaodong Economic Strategy in Jin, and analyzed the military strategy of Liaodong in Jin, and he attached great importance to Guangning. He said: "The first thing in the east is worse than Qingfu, the second is bad for Kaitie, the third is bad for Liaoshen, and the fourth is bad for Guangning. The initial bad is a crisis, the second bad is a defeat, the three bad is the endgame, and the four bad are abandoned. Retreat from the mountains and seas, and there is no ...... back"

To put it simply, the Ming Dynasty's military strategy in Liaodong was first bad in Fushun, and the bad thing at the beginning was just a crisis. In the second, after the bad in Tieling, it became a defeat. Third, when Liaoyang and Shenyang fell, the situation in Liaodong could only be reduced to an endgame. When the situation continued to deteriorate, and in the fourth part, after Guangning was also lost and fell, this was already a place where there was no situation in Liaodong, and it was impossible to clean it up at all, so it could only retreat to Shanhaiguan, and there was no way to retreat.

Take a step back, it's Jingshi!

In fact, what Wang Zaijin said later, although there was a slight deviation, was generally as he said.

In the face of the offensive of the Jianzhou Jurchens, the situation in Liaodong, no matter how the Guanning army struggled, actually lost the strategic initiative. Sun Chengzong was an important minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty, and he worked hard and exhausted, but he could only stabilize the situation in eastern Liaodong, hold the first line in western Liaoning, and build the Guanningjin defense line.

In general, after the fall of Guangning that year, although the Ming Dynasty launched several attacks to try to recover the lost territory, they all suffered major defeats, but they soon had to face the offensive of the Qing people, and then retreated.

So much so that it later became the hunting ground of the Qing people who had founded the country, and entered the Kou again and again, using the Ming Dynasty as an ATM and a blood-sucking pool to replenish the blood lost by Jiannu.

All this means that the Ming and Qing dynasties were transposed offensively and defensively, and the Ming Dynasty lost the strategic initiative and could only respond passively.

Right now......

Quang Ninh was regained, and there was joy in the military strategy and deduction hall of the Privy Council.

The military advisers pulled out the blue flag representing the Qing army on Quang Ninh and replaced it with a bright red flag with mottled yellow dragon shading.

The surname of the Ming Kingdom is Zhu, and Zhu is red. Naturally, the flag representing the Ming Dynasty is the red flag.

The small red flag made everyone happy, Zhu Cihong looked at the sand table, his hands behind his back, and his smile slowly melted.

Although the sand table in Liaodong looks very rough, it is far inferior to the appearance of the real Liaodong in Zhu Cihong's impression, whether it is the shape of Bohai Bay or the size of the Liaodong Peninsula, it is very different.

But in any case, this is the result of Daming's own exploration.

And this means that the intelligence force of the Ming Dynasty has infiltrated all corners of Liaodong and completed the preliminary exploration.

On the map, Guangning, Haizhou, Gaizhou, Liaoyang, Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling, and the cities that have already had names in later generations at this moment reappeared in Zhu Cihong's mind at this moment, and he felt very cordial.

"These ...... Will be back. Zhu Cihong looked at the blue flag with a handle on it and said loudly.

His Majesty the Emperor was full of confidence, and the soldiers present were naturally even more demoralized and cheered.

Zhu Cihong watched everyone cheering, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "With the actions of Liaonan and Liaodong, as well as the rebellion of Mongol in southern China, this situation is really unprecedented...... I really don't know what kind of mood the orphans and widows are feeling at this moment? ”

Zhu Cihong's ridicule of orphans and widows is quite unauthentic. But when he said this, it was very smooth and natural.

To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.

What's more, orphans and widows do not mean weakness and kindness. Especially the empress dowager and emperor of the Qing Dynasty...... They were not a combination of a young empress dowager and a young emperor. There are more identities in them. They...... It symbolizes the heavy blood debt that the Jurchens have stained on the people of the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years!

……

"So...... Quang Ninh lost? The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang patted the clothes on her body, as if there was dust on them that was invisible to the naked eye. Just now, Emperor Shunzhi was disobedient again, ran to the ground and rolled a few laps, she hurriedly picked it up, scolded some unsatisfactory palace maids and eunuchs, and after a board was beaten, she was a little relieved and went back to the main hall to see people.

It was Karaantu who spoke, although this important minister of the Qing Dynasty had expected it at the moment, but he still felt bitter when he said it at this moment.

Although they had been prepared for a long time, when they really faced the embarrassing fact of losing the city and land, they couldn't help but feel loss and self-doubt.

"Yes...... The Queen Mother ......" Karaantu trembled her lips and said in a low voice: "Lost...... There was a torrential rain, and no one expected Akito to move so quickly. I just finished my speech in Beijing ten days ago, and today I ...... Today...... That's it...... No, no, it was three days ago, and it attacked Quang Ninh three days ago. ”

"And it's down......" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang snorted lightly, shook her head, sighed, and said, "That's it, don't be in front of the mourning family, look like a girl." I didn't even say anything to you, what are you making a fuss about...... What matters now is not the loss of cities and land. How prepared are you for the things that the mourning family has arranged for you? ”

"Quasi-...... Ready..."Kalantu's heart trembled slightly, looking at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, her voice became weaker and weaker, and said, "The Empress Dowager...... Really, really, do you really want to do that? ”

"Or else? Do you think of a way for the mourners? Do you think that if you lose Guangning, Lushun, North Korea, and Mongolia, you will feel good about mourning your family? The mourning family supported this Daqing and prevented him from collapsing. Guarding our country and defeating the Ming people, didn't you still feed the foundation of our Qing Dynasty? For the love of the Xinjue Luo family, for you, for the Qing Dynasty of the Eight Banners? The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang suddenly became furious, her eyes widened, and she looked at Karantu.

Knock knock knock......

Karaantu fell to his knees and kept knocking his head: "Karaantu never meant that...... Dowager...... Queen Mother ......"

"Stop, take your head. Keeping your brain for us to think about more ideas is really better than breaking it on the ground. Seeing that there was blood on Kalantu's forehead, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang slowed down and said: "Of course the mourning family understands what your concerns are, but since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have not been informal, so don't talk about these things." You just have to do the things that the mourning family tells you to do, and we will not be able to die in the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Yes, don't worry, the Queen Mother will definitely handle this matter properly for the Queen Mother!" Hearing this, Karaantu hurriedly expressed his determination.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang slowed down and said with a smile: "Of course the mourning family can still trust your ability." The mourning family also told you some happy things in advance. When Prince Erli came yesterday, the mourning family was angry with her. Our Eight Banners, none of them are missing. Zhenghuang Banner is the emperor's pro-army, how can it not be so nameless. So, the mourning family allocated you 200,000 silver, and the soldiers of the three Niu Lu of the Zhenghong Banner were given to you, what about you, go back and re-erect the shelf of the Zhenghuang Flag! ”

After a pause, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said leisurely: "So, this is the solid mountain of the Yellow Flag, and it will be you Karatu in the future." You can send those three bulls now. I'll give you all the people and money, and if you can't do good things, think about it and go ahead. ”

"Yes!" Listening to Xiaozhuang's first few words, Karaantu suddenly looked forward to it in his heart. When he understood that he was the Yellow Flag in the future, he suddenly jumped up with joy.

……

Shengjing City is very large, as the capital of the Qing Dynasty, it has been operated with practical intentions for a period of time.

Especially in the Qing Dynasty, the national strength was thriving, and every time after a large number of slaves and gold and silver were captured in the Ming Kingdom, Shengjing City was disgusted with a construction boom.

Having slaves meant having enough people to work.

Having gold and silver meant that they could buy enough supplies in Korea and in the hands of Shanxi Jin merchants to expand Shengjing City and fill the living standards of the Manchu nobles.

These are undoubtedly excellent.

Of course, there is a premise: for the Manchurian nobility.

More often than not, many people in the city ...... Life is not happy.

Huang Qi'er is like this.

He was originally a beggar in the south of the city.

Supposedly, it is absurd to have beggars here in the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it does not mean that the roads here are not forgotten, the houses are not closed at night, the governance is first-class, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, so there will be no beggars.

Ludicrous...... It is hard to imagine that the Qing people would honor the existence of these beggars.

If there are Han people, they will be enslaved vigorously. How can it be tolerated that there are beggars who are idle and do not serve as slaves to the noble Tartars?

But it's so strange that there are really beggars in Shengjing City.

The reason is actually very simple.

The bitter cold land of the Northeast. Liaoyang is already a place with a relatively low latitude and a relatively high temperature.

In such a place, the cold of winter is still bitterly cold. After a cold winter, no matter how many beggars froze to death. But there is no need to bother with lazy civil officials.

In this case, these beggars who live at the bottom of time are also uncared for.

Huang Qi'er should have frozen to death last winter.

But when he thinks back to last winter, he can only thank one person extraordinarily......

That person's name cannot be said, this is called His Holiness.

Although the beggar did not understand these great truths, he respected this person to the extreme. After all, it was the one who saved his life.

This person is the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong.

His Majesty the Emperor attacked Shengjing in a sneak attack, and before leaving, he demolished Shengjing City, as if it had suffered an eight-magnitude earthquake here.

The huge destructive power made Shengjing depressed after the war, and the dignitaries cried that their family wealth was swept away, but Huang Qi'er luckily found a place to spend the winter in the rags, and secretly swept away some belongings when the Ming army was demolished, which actually gave him a little more prosperous life after the war.

Because most of the Han people decided to follow Zhu Cihong and leave Shengjing, there were very few Han people left in the city.

Not to mention that some of them are still in the countryside.

In any case, after the war, Shengjing's economic activities were stagnant due to the lack of labor, and he had to go to the vegetable field to pick it himself.

In this way, the value of the Han people has been raised very high all of a sudden.

At this time, a friend of Huang Qi'er's side pointed out to him: After the war, there will definitely be a lot of construction, you do a handicraft work, learn some skills, and you will definitely be able to live a prosperous life.

So, Huang Qi'er spent some money, changed his name to Huang Qi, and then opened a Huang's carpentry shop.

Sure enough, soon many people began to come to the door to let him customize their homes, not caring about the high price that made Huang Qi frightened, and not caring whether Huang Qi's craftsmanship was really good.

Even, Manchu-Han relations, which once made him almost desperate, seem to be showing signs of improvement at this time.

Because of the lack of Han people, especially the scarcity of craftsmen, the Manchu masters suddenly found that they could not do anything. The slaves who were killed by benevolence and righteousness were really killed without one, and they couldn't even buy a new pair of armor in the future. Not to mention the furniture that was destroyed after the war.

All in all, Huang Qi's life soon got better.

Those full-man uncles are even happy to give money directly, and they no longer look like they want to eat people.

It seems that such a good day will continue forever.

It seems that no matter how the Qing Dynasty will change, it will be the same.

Thinking of this, Huang Qi nodded with satisfaction, remembering that there was an appointment today. He closed the shop, entered the courtyard where he entered the house, and said to his wife Liu, who was being a female celebrity: "Lady, I forgot to tell you today, do you remember our nobleman?" You made an appointment with me for dinner tonight, and you can eat dinner by yourself today. ”

"Got it, Xianggong will come back early. The slave family will warm the decanting soup for you, and prepare a little snack in the evening, but it's not too late. Liu smiled shallowly, and waved his hand at Huang Qi again.

With a wave of his hand, Huang Qi saw a shocking scar on Liu's hand.

Although he already knew it, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought about it every day. This is the tragedy of troubled times, which is difficult to resist. It's good if you don't have a disability, but what's the point of just a little scar on your arm?

After thinking about the time to make an appointment with the nobleman, Huang Qi stepped up his pace and hurriedly went out.

It's just that as soon as he went out, he suddenly saw a person pulling Huang Qi, covering his mouth, and pulling him into the corner of the alley. The person who came moved quickly, and his voice was low, but Huang Qi gave up struggling: "Huang Qi'er, believe me, don't talk nonsense...... It's saving your life, don't move...... They're coming! ”

Karaantu's face was gloomy, and behind him, countless soldiers and horses gathered. (To be continued.) )
