Chapter 246: Preparing for the war and seeking the moon

Beijing, Prince Rui’s Mansion.

Dorgon was in a good mood.

Hanzhong reported that the former Western Army General Liu Jinzhong led his troops to surrender.

Dorgon was overjoyed when he heard this! What he valued was not the ten thousand people under Liu Jinzhong's command, but Liu Jinzhong's understanding of the Western Army's garrison in Sichuan.

As a powerful general under Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Jinzhong can be said to have a clear understanding of the internal reality of the Western Army.

In this way, if the Qing army marched into Sichuan, it could be targeted and focus on weak links to attack fiercely.

Originally, Dorgon was still a little afraid of these peasant soldiers. But since Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain and the rebel army fled in various places, this last fear disappeared.

The combat effectiveness of the peasant army is not as good as that. Li Zicheng is dead, and Zhang Xianzhong will be awarded the title sooner or later.

When the Western Army was defeated depends on when the Qing army entered Sichuan.

Sichuan will be fought sooner or later, but it is not in a hurry.

It is obvious that the small court of the remnant Ming Dynasty in the south is the main opponent of the Qing Dynasty.

After dealing with Can Ming, Dorgon could free up his hands to deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

This is the problem and returns to the starting point.

Dorgon felt it was time to start preparing for the attack on the Ming Dynasty.

In war, especially in this large-scale war, money and food are the competition.

As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will go first. More than 100,000 troops will consume a lot of money for eating horses in one day. The supply of food and grass for the army is particularly important.

Dorgon got a lot of food from the Shanxi merchants and prepared to draw all the food in stock in the palace.

Of course, it is not enough to do this. In order to fight this war, Dorgon did not hesitate to order the landlords in the capital to offer grain.

It is related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty, and even if you give all the efforts of the whole country, you will be willing to do whatever you want.

However, Dorgon could only raise the food and fodder for the Qing army in Shandong. As for the Qing army in Shaanxi, Ajige had to raise the food by himself.

As for the general commander Dorgon has made a decision.

Shandong asked Luke Dehun to assist Duoduo.

As for attacking Huguang, let Azige and Boluo together.

It is time for young people to go to the battlefield to experience the war.

The descendants of the Aisin Gioro family are not cowards who only hide in women's arms.

As for Haoge, Dorgon decided to continue to deal with it coldly.

Of course he knew that Haoge was holding his breath in his heart and wanted to go to the battlefield to prove himself.

But Dorgon would not give him this opportunity.

The Qing Dynasty believed in the strong, and if Haoge made great achievements, it would inevitably attract a lot of support. In addition, he was Huang Taiji's eldest son, and there were many supporters among the two yellow flags. Dorgon was worried that Haoge would threaten his status as the Regent.

Only by tying Hauge to the capital and under Dorgun's nose would he feel at ease.

Dorgon was already very tired of suppressing the subjugation and balancing the various factions, but he didn't want Haoge to jump out and cause trouble for him.

...

People feel refreshed when they are happy, and Chen Shuncai can have a smile on his eyebrows and eyes these days.

Erya vomited a while ago, and Chen Shun asked a doctor to treat her.

After diagnosis and treatment, it was discovered that Erya was not sick, but was happy.

It turned out that Chen Shuncai brought Erya back to Beijing from Guanzhong and sang and was almost every night, and was filled with passion.

After some hard work, Erya finally got pregnant!

Chen Shun just realized that he was going to be a father, and he was ecstatic. He almost frightened Erya when he jumped and screamed in the yard.

Although there is still a long time before production, Chen Shuncai did not let Erya do any work to be on the safe side. Even cooking is not OK.

When Chen Shuncai was in Liaodong, he was just a lowly Baoyi Aha and never thought of getting married and having children.

Or even if he gets married and has children, his wife is also a Baoyi slave, and his children are still Baoyi slaves, and he may be scolded by his master or even lose his life at any time.

Chen Shuncai felt that it would be better to marry and have children than to do so.

Later he was carried the flag and became a Han army flagman.

From then on, he felt that he was a human being.

Since you are human, you should naturally have a wife and children beside you.

Chen Shuncai's mind was full of thoughts to steal a wife to pass on the family line for him.

But things were always different from what he thought. Chen Shuncai had no chance to rob a woman after going to war several times.

It was not until he attacked Guanzhong that Chen Shun met Erya.

From the first glance he saw Erya, he knew that this was the person he was looking for.

Chen Shuncai decided to bring Erya back to Beijing no matter what.

But it is not easy to get a woman into the military camp.

Chen Shuncai racked his brains about this.

He changed Erya into a set of tattered clothes and covered her face with horse manure and mud.

Of course, shaving and braiding are also indispensable.

This may be difficult for a woman to accept, but it is a must.

If you want to follow Chen Shun to return to the capital alive, Erya must accept these things.

Erya cried many times for this, and Chen Shun comforted her that she would allow her to keep her hair back when she returned to the capital.

Erya then endured it.

Fortunately, the hard days have finally passed, and Chen Shun and Erya can stay together all day long. With the gold and silver he stolen over the years, it is enough to live for the rest of his life.

Chen Shun hoped not to fight again for the first time, so he just lived with Erya in a plain manner.

"Eya, I'll go out to buy you some food. Stay at home and don't move!"

Chen Shun rubbed Erya's slightly bulging belly and said with tenderness.

"Um!"

Erya bit her lip and nodded slightly.

She really feels lucky to be able to marry Chen Shuncai.

If she hadn't met Chen Shuncai, she would have starved to death or was raped to death.

In troubled times, there are only two consequences for a lonely woman.

"I'll go back."

Chen Shuncai left the house reluctantly and walked towards the front yard.

As soon as he left the door, he met Liu Liangmin from the same Niulu.

The two had a friendship for more than ten years. When the food disaster in Liaodong was in the most difficult situation, Chen Shun even gave Liu Liangmin half a piece of cake to save his life.

"Brother Chen came out to buy things for his sister-in-law again!"

Liu Liangmin greeted Chen Shuncai on his own initiative.

"Yes, your sister-in-law likes to eat sour things. I'll buy some aged vinegar and go back to make dumplings for her."

Chen Shuncai was in a good mood and said with a smile.

"Ah, Brother Chen, you can buy more rice. I guess the rice price will rise in a few days!"

Chen Shuncai frowned when he heard this.

Although he has some wealth, he doesn't want the rice price to rise.

The price of rice can't stop as soon as it rises, and even if there is more money, it will be emptied.

"Where did you hear the news? Why did the rice price rise again?"

"Oh, Brother Chen, don't know? It's time to fight again! The rice on this war market must be tightly supplied by the army, so the prices will naturally rise. I advise you to buy more as soon as possible!"

Liu Liangmin advised with kindness.

Boom!

Chen Shuncai's mind exploded, as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant.

"Are you going to fight again?"

"That's right? We have to fight Shandong after the New Year. Our Han army must also have to wear red flags!"
