Don't be afraid, I'm here!

After receiving Zhu Cixiang's guarantee, Huang Dabao was of course no longer afraid! Huang Dabao was the great eunuch who had followed Emperor Zhu all the way out of Beijing. What scene had he not seen before? Of course he was no longer afraid. He went back to prepare for the funeral.

He walked on the road crying in mourning for three days...not because he was afraid, but because he was sad for Dongguo Gege who died young. He was going to report the funeral, so how could he go on the road happily?

On the same day as him, Zu Kefa and Zu Zeqing went north. The former went to Liaodong to meet Duduo. He would first go to Dengzhou, then cross the sea to Liao, where he would be received by Jiabus, and then go to Duduo's army.

The latter went on the same road with Huang Dabao and went to see Azig with Zhu Cihong's peace conditions.

In addition, Jinyiwei's secret envoy from Beizhen Fusi will also follow Zu Zeqing northward, pretending to be Zu Zeqing's attaché and entering Beijing.

The city of Beijing now is no better than in the past. There are no ordinary Han people in the city, so it is not easy for the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei to get in!

If it weren't for the presence of Jia Le, one of the nine great imperial merchants, it would not have been so easy for Emperor Zhu to collect information about the Northern Qing Dynasty!

Now, due to the internal division of the Qing Dynasty, two major factions, the Guan Nei Army and the Guan Wai Army, emerged, and Jabs happened to belong to the Guan Wai Army faction, so the Ming Dynasty has lost its source of intelligence from Beijing.

We just took advantage of the opportunity of this diplomatic event to send agents in. There are many well-informed officials in the Qing camp in Beijing who are eagerly waiting for the Jinyiwei agents to contact us!

Moreover, Emperor Zhu had already laid out two big chess pieces before leaving Beijing - two ministers holding loyalty certificates.

Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng have kept a low profile in the past two years. Now they have joined the Xianglvqi and are bannermen, so they can still keep their Beijing hukou.

But the house can no longer be saved, once again... When Dorgon issued a house occupation order last time, their house in Beijing was occupied. Fortunately, in recent years, housing prices in outer cities of Beijing have been occupied.

It was not high, and they could afford it with their salaries. So they both bought houses in the outer city - they both said they knew it well, and before Dorgon died, they were ready to die as ghosts of the Qing Dynasty.

Because Luo Yangxing was in Beijing at that time, Guang Shiheng really couldn't see that Ming Dynasty could fight back.

The Ming Dynasty was now rich, had a Ming emperor, and its army was not weak. It was impossible to crush the Qing army, but it could be evenly matched. This can be seen in the past few battles between the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

But the military weaknesses of the Ming Dynasty are also very prominent. First, there are no horses! The Ming Dynasty also has the problem of weak Song Dynasty back then, but there are ways to make up for it. Because after the return of the Pingxi and Shuofang vassals, the Ming Dynasty had to buy horses.

channels.

The second is the lack of generals! This is a headache. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were famous generals such as Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie. But who was there in the Ming Dynasty? The Wu family father and son? Those were the defeated generals of Donglu! Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Li Chengdong? Those three

Everyone is brave. As for Shi Kefa, Zuo Maodi... they all lost the battle! Although their defeat was enough when Emperor Chongzhen was in power, it was enough to make Huang Taiji "win and cry", but now the Qing Dynasty

The capital is much higher than when we were outside the customs! Especially after adding two green flags and nine flags to garrison the Aungbang Zhangjing Yamen, we actually have the ability to attract Han strongmen to join the army, which can make up for the lack of manpower.

Therefore, in the eyes of both of them, it would be very difficult for Nanming, who had no generals, to succeed in the Northern Expedition, unless the Qing Dynasty made a stupid move.

And now this big mistake has actually come... The Qing Dynasty was divided into two, Duduo and Azig wanted their brothers to fight against each other, and it turned out to be an internal strife.

In order to save the city of Beijing when Duduo or others attacked, the first thing Azig did when he returned to Beijing was to order the demolition of the outer city of Beijing to strengthen the city's defense.

The officials or servants of the two green banners who originally lived in the outer city either moved to the inner city, or moved to Yongping Mansion or Xuan Mansion... As for compensation, there is no compensation!

Whoever comes next to you should consider yourself unlucky!

Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng, two brothers who consider themselves unlucky, went to the city together early this morning to look at houses.

It is not difficult to find a house, because many nobles from Zhenglan Banner and Zhengbai Banner who originally lived in the city have "abandoned their houses and fled", leaving behind their Beijing household registration and the courtyard houses within the Second Ring Road, and fled back to the Northeast!

Therefore, there are a large number of vacant houses available for rent in the Gushan Ezhen Yamen of Zhenglan and Zhengbai Banners.

Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng, both of whom were "just in need", no longer want to buy a house, so they rented two adjacent small courtyards as a temporary residence - just squeeze in! They were staying in Beijing back then.

When the Northern Expedition is victorious for the heroes who cut off Zhu Cixi's rear in the city, are they still afraid that they won't have a good house to live in?

After looking at the house, we returned to Luo Yangxing's house outside the city together. We wanted to have a drink together and look forward to a bright future... But as soon as we entered the door, we met a palace man.

The eunuch who came here came to invite Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng (their houses outside the city were also next to each other), two idlers, to go to the palace to discuss matters.

It was the regent Azige who invited Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng into the palace. The reason why Azige thought of Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng was because Zu Zeqing, whom he sent to Wuhan to meet Zhu Cihong, had returned and brought a new copy.

The draft of the "North-South Peace Treaty".

In this draft, Emperor Zhu proposed some land west of the Shandong Canal, south of the Daqing River, and land in Kaifeng, Guide, Henan, Ruzhou and other places in Henan Province.

This is to take advantage of the internal strife in the Qing Dynasty to cut off the land of the Qing Dynasty!

Before Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng approached the Wuying Palace in the Forbidden City, they heard Azig's loud voice speaking in Manchurian dialect that was difficult to understand.

"This Emperor Zhu is really good at wishful thinking. He actually wants to take over so much of our territory without spending a single soldier! Bah! If he has the ability, he will come over and fight. I am not afraid of Shi Kefa, Zuo Maodi, Wu Sangui, and Zhu Cijiong.

, no one can fight, they are all dead weight!"

Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng didn't know why Azige would think of them, and they always felt a little guilty - they were in the Qing camp and their minds were clear! So when they entered the Wuying Hall, they wanted to find a corner to squint, but who knew...

When I entered, I saw Zu Dashou, Zu Zeqing, Sun Zhixian, Jin Zhijun, Zuo Maotai, Chen Mingxia, Feng Quan, Zhang Xuan, Liu Yuyou, Wu Weihua and a large group of traitors.

This group of ministers have basically learned Manchurian and can understand what Azig said. After Azig finished speaking, they all rushed to express their opinions.

"What the Imperial Uncle and the Regent said is absolutely..."

"Yes, no one in the Southern Dynasties can fight, but our Qing Dynasty has a sea of ​​elite soldiers and a cloud of fierce generals!"

"The emperor's uncle and the regent are even more impressive in their military skills..."

Luo Yangxing and Guang Shiheng looked at each other and said to themselves: Azige is giving everyone reassurance!

What the Ming Dynasty only wanted was a little territory in Henan and Shandong, so it would not threaten the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. The reason why the Ming Dynasty gave up on taking advantage was because there were no good generals and warriors. Even if there were many soldiers and enough food, they would not be able to exert any advantage.

of.

To be honest, Azig’s words seem to make some sense!

There is indeed no one in Nanming who can compare with the two brothers Azig and Duduo in terms of handsomeness and general talent!

...

"Your Highness, Shanghai has arrived, and you can immediately set foot on the land of the Ming Empire."

On the same day that Zu Zeqing arrived in Beijing, a huge fleet consisting of 5 Western sailing ships and 5 Chinese-style ten thousand stone bird ships was slowly sailing into the busy Wusong River. Headed by a group of

A large four-masted sailing ship with a deadweight of 800 tons was the "Flying" that Ji Kun bought at a high price. It was drifting overseas for a long time in a cabin in the stern of the ship.

Li Shaoyou was talking in French to the short and thin Prince Kongdai.

His Royal Highness looked down and out, holding a coffee cup in his hand, but looking straight at Li Shaoyou's new wife, a Bavarian beauty with black hair and blue eyes, an angelic face, and a devilish figure.
