The news of Geng Jimao's death was sent back to Shengjing. Geng Zhongming cried to the sky and shouted loudly, scolding Luke Dehun for his Geng family to lose his son and grandson (Geng Jimao was Geng Zhongming's only son, and at this time, Geng Jingzhong had not been born yet).

But this kind of scolding can only be found in his own manor. Luke Dehun was the Beile of the Qing Dynasty, and he was the king of the Han people. In terms of official positions, Geng Zhongming was of course higher, but his status was indeed very different. If the Qing Dynasty knew that Geng Zhongming was dissatisfied, perhaps he would have to go underground to accompany his son. When Dorgon added 300 households to him in order to compensate Geng Zhongming, he could only kowtow and thank him, suppressing all his dissatisfaction. However, the aggrieved in his heart made him angry and secretly kept stumble on the two red flags.

After Dorgon became the regent, at Daishan's suggestion, he killed Shuotou and Adali, who once supported his ascension to the throne. After two generations of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, it was not until Dorgon became the regent that Daishan finally gave Shuotou, his most hated son, to the guillotou, to the guillotou, which was really gratifying. Adali was thought to be eliminated by Daishan, who made him jump up and down and get so close to Shuotou!

Because of his defeat in the war, Luke Dehun finally caused the Ming army to escape, and was ordered by Dorgon to temporarily exempt Beile. However, with the support of Lao Daishan, I believe that it will not take long to return to the top leadership of the Qing Dynasty.

Shang Kexi was held accountable for negligently releasing the Ming army into Liaodong, but because Dorgon still wanted to use him to reinforce Gaizhou, he only criticized him for going to Gaizhou to commit crimes and make meritorious service.

Du Erhu was ordered to be reprimanded by Dorgon for letting go of the Ming army, and was relieved of his official position as a Duke of Zhenguo, and went to the Liaodong front line as an ordinary general to defend himself.

Although Li Lutai reacted in time and led his troops to pursue the east and annihilate some of the Ming army. However, because many Ming troops still escaped, and his troops to Shengjing were the main reasons for the Ming army's infiltration into Liaodong, many people wrote letters to demand heavy punishment, and even demanded that Li Lutai beheaded directly.

However, when Li Rutai failed to pursue, he directly led his troops back to Gaizhou and helped Ma Yonggong stabilize the situation in time and made contributions. He also made contributions. Shortly after he returned to Gaizhou, he immediately wrote two letters to Dorgon. One of them was his summary of the war and his suggestions for vigorously developing the navy. The other was a letter he told Haoge's crime and expressed his loyalty to Dorgon.

After reading it, Dorgon felt that his suggestion to develop a naval army was very reasonable. He asked Luke Dehun and Shi Tingzhu again, and both of them had a very high evaluation of Li Lutai. Soon after, an imperial edict was passed down from Shengjing, and Li Lutai was appointed as the chief supervisor of the navy, responsible for training naval officers on the Liaohe River.

Not only was Li Lutai not held accountable, but he was also reused. Dorgon erected him up and made a benchmark, indicating that he had no intention of pursuing civil and military officials who followed Haoge against him. After that, people kept leaving Haoge and surrendering to Dorgon. Except for all the loyal people who did not leave, Haoge was unprecedentedly isolated.

Dorgon, however, rose to his current height and his dominance was unprecedentedly improved. Soon after, he married Huang Taiji's widow, Concubine Zhuang, and indirectly became Fulin, the father of Emperor Shunzhi. However, the civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty did not dare to speak at this moment, and Dorgon's power reached its peak.

After learning that Han Yong was staying in the hinterland of Liaodong, Zhou Xian ordered him to be promoted to a guerrilla general. Liu Mazi was the garrison and asked someone to send documents and seals to their location. He also asked someone to inform Han Yong that within the scope of his control, military generals could be appointed by him under guerrillas, and county magistrates could be appointed at will under civil servants, and the Ming court recognized them all. In other words, Zhou Xian gave him full freedom to appoint him.

According to the initial agreement, all Ming army heading to Liaodong were promoted to one level on the spot, Gao Qi was appointed as deputy general and passed the documents to the capital, while Jimu was immediately promoted to the general. The dead in the battle received double pensions, and the relatives of the wounded soldiers who remained in Liaodong were also the same. In the end, the Ming soldiers who left behind the rear received three times the pensions regardless of life or death.

Until a few months later, some Ming soldiers still crossed many obstacles and fled back to the Ming realm. This is a story later.

Chen Tingyang's proposal to transport grain and grass by sea was effective. The first batch of grain was transported to Denglai. Half of them were left for the Liao army, and the remaining half were transported to the capital. Although not much, most people saw that there was a arrival of grain, and no longer actively stored grain and bought grain. The grain prices in the capital fell rapidly, and prices were stabilized to a certain extent.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen agreed to Chen Tingyang's proposal to open Tianjin as a business port. After Zheng Zhilong learned about it, he immediately sent fifty sea ships to help the court transport grain to the capital, and the amount of grain transport was greatly increased. The second batch transported nearly 700,000 stones of grain to arrive. Some of them were still sent to the capital, while the rest were sent to Ningyuan for military rations for Wu Sangui and other generals.

But soon after, Chongzhen's move to open Tianjin to business ports was known to all ministers, and they stood up to oppose it. Emperor Chongzhen could not withstand such pressure and had to order the implementation to be suspended. And according to the proposals of the ministers, he ordered Zheng Zhilong to be severely rebuked by privately hiding sea ships and demanded that he continue to assist the court in transporting food.

After Zheng Zhilong received the news, he felt that he had been fooled by the court. Although he did not directly order the ship was taken back, he ordered his subordinates to slow down the speed of the ship and secretly transported some grain ships to the deputy general. The memorial reported to the court said that the grain ships were overturned by the waves and sank to the bottom of the sea, and the court asked the court to compensate the sunken ships and crew.

When the important officials of the court saw Zheng Zhilong’s memorial, they actually believed it directly, and wrote letters saying that the sea transportation risk was too great and could not be implemented, and they also demanded that Chen Tingyang be held accountable.

At this moment, Chen Tingyang was carrying dozens of ships that could go out to sea, constantly transporting them, and trying his best to stay in Suzhou and Nanjing's grain and grass were transported northward little by little. But there were not enough ships, and Zheng Zhilong did not cooperate at all. When the cool breeze hit, the sea transportation became more and more difficult. When the transportation was stopped, less than one-third of the grain was transported.

After a period of time, the grain prices in the capital fell and then rose rapidly. More and more people were starved to death because they could not afford to buy food. In Shanxi and Hebei, victims of robbing grain warehouses appeared. Tang Tong led his troops back and forth to quell the rebellion, but the more they were calmed down. Countless victims rushed into the capital and begged along the streets. People who starved to death were everywhere and could not be cleaned up in time, which caused a plague and killed thousands of people every day.
