416 Extortion

Dingjun Mountain is located about ten miles south of Mian County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. It is an ancient battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period. It belongs to the Daba Mountains. Its vein comes from Gaomiaozi to flat ground and raises twelve Xiu Peaks. From Shishanzi to Yuanshanzi, it is known as the "Twelve Continuous Peaks". It is also known as the "Twelve Continuous Peaks". It is the lonely peak of Dangkou Temple, which extends more than ten kilometers from west to east, like a dragon playing with a pearl, so it is known as "one pearl in the Twelve Continuous Mountain". ☆→ The main peak Dingjun Mountain is the highest point, with an altitude of 833 meters and a dangerous terrain. It was known in ancient times that "If you get Dingjun Mountain, you will get Hanzhong, and if you get Hanzhong, you will definitely determine the world."

Hong Chengchou, who made his fortune in Shaanxi, knew the importance of Dingjun Mountain well. When the Sichuan Army was about to move, he led a large army to run Dingjun Mountain without any water, including camps, gullies, horse-resisting horses, posts, etc., and also installed a large number of artillery, and even two powerful red barbarian cannons, forming Dingjun Mountain into a strong fortress. Ding, who was guarding Hanzhong, echoed each other.

Ningqiangzhou City had no defensive significance or value. After the two worked together to razed Ningqiangzhou City to the ground, Dorgon and Hong Chengchou returned to Hanzhong City and Dingjun Mountain to guard the city, while Ajige and Oboi each led a team of elite troops to continue to chase and kill Zhang Rui's troops who were hiding in the mountains.

For the Qing Dynasty, the biggest enemy now was Sichuan, and the center of defense was the exit of Sichuan in the direction of Guangyuan.

After the battle between the Qing Dynasty and Sichuan, the two sides had already reached a state of unstoppable death. In particular, the killing of the Qing Dynasty made the powerful and wealthy people in a dilemma. In addition to the people who were forced to participate in the desperate situation, even some rangers and powerful men did not miss this opportunity. The wealthy families in Sichuan even recruited warriors to form a headhunting team, specifically attacking the Manchus. The impact of the killing of the Qing Dynasty even spread to Jianzhou, the old man and the manchus. Some people secretly landed on a boat and attacked the Eight Banners tribes of the Manchus. Men, women and young men were not spared, and the morale of the army was shaken, causing great shock to the Qing Dynasty.

The first defense of Sichuan, the second defense of Nanming, and the third defense of headhunters who are interested in wealth. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, which have always been like fire and are unstoppable, stopped their expansion and changed expansion into defense. Some timids have already developed the intention to retreat.

Dorgon was very angry. He woke up after only half of his dream of yellow beams. He was so happy that his allies suddenly turned into enemies, just like two people still smiling when they met, but turned around and stabbed each other.

Far away from the prosperous Dingjun Mountain, it is a bitter and cold place that no one wants to go to, but today it welcomes several distinguished guests: in addition to the Qing Dynasty's imperial general Hong Chengchou who guarded the place, there are also the Qing Dynasty's regent Dorgon and a middle-aged man named Huang Shu.

It is natural to say that Dorgon is the powerful Regent, the most powerful figure among the Eight Banners, and a tiger general who is the powerful battlefield. Huang Shu, who can sit on the same table as Hong Chengchou and Dorgon, is naturally not a simple person. However, this table is the table of the negotiating table.

Hong Chengchou introduced to Dorgon with a serious expression: "Prince, this is General Huang Shu. General Huang is the inspector and inspector under the command of General Zuo Liangyu, Ningnanbo, and is deeply trusted by Zuo Shuai."

"Huang Shu has met the Regent" Huang Shu seemed to be familiar with him. The two were obviously enemies, but he saluted Dorgon without changing his expression.

Dorgon smiled and said kindly: "I have long admired General Huang's reputation, and I will meet him today. It's better to meet him than to be famous."

This was against his will. With Dorgon's character, a small military inspector was just a small official who was a sesame and mung bean, and he didn't take it seriously. Not only him, but also Zuo Liangyu, who was on his head, did not take it seriously, but this situation was in the past. Now that the war with Sichuan is about to be imminent, in order to prevent the Southern Ming from attacking, Dorgon gritted his teeth and followed the advice of military commander Fan Wencheng, and came to see what Zuo Liangyu's messenger said.

It is difficult to deal with the 36th Battalion of the Left Army stationed near Xiangyang. In this situation, it is better to have less than more things. It is not easy to set off in Hanzhong, but Huang Shu was a little unbelievable to Dorgon and asked Hong Chengchou to protect him to ensure his personal safety. He firmly placed the meeting place in Dingjun Mountain.

"The prince is really too good. Huang is just an unknown soldier. How dare you remember the prince." Huang Shu naturally knew that Dorgon was saying polite words, and he quickly said modestly when he heard this.

Dorgon gave Hong Chengchou a wink. Hong Chengchou understood that with Dorgon's status and the current severe situation, he had no time to hang out with such a minion, so he asked him to directly tell the purpose of coming to the door.

Hong Chengchou nodded with understanding, turned his head to Huang Shu and said, "General Huang, everyone said that he would not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. I wonder what is the key to this visit?"

"Don't dare," Huang Shu said with a smile: "General Hong is so direct, then Huang opened the skylight and spoke loudly. He was ordered by the Zuo Shuai and wanted to borrow some food and salary from the two adults."

"Food and salary?" Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and he said this very directly. He quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "My Qing Dynasty has always admired Zuo Shuai very much. As long as Zuo Shuai opens his mouth, he will naturally agree."

As a loyal traitor, Hong Chengchou can be said to have lost his head to the Qing Dynasty. Not only did he regard himself as a "Manchu" person, he also spared no effort to recruit talents for the Qing Dynasty.

Emperor Hongguang mainly relied on Ma Shiying to join hands with Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing to support him. Zuo Liangyu did not participate and did not obtain the merit of following the dragon. Zuo Liangyu naturally did not get much good benefits in the division of the throne. Zuo Liangyu, who was arrogant by nature, had a disagreement with Hongguang Wang Ming, and Zuo Liangyu was also stuck in resource allocation.

For Hong Chengchou, this is an opportunity to recruit.

As soon as Zuo Liangyu surrenders, his 36th battalion will become the vanguard of the attack on the Southern Ming Dynasty. With his support and cooperation, it will definitely not be a problem to defeat the unstable Nan Ming Dynasty.

Huang Shu smiled, something he didn't care about: "This matter is very important. When Huang goes back, he will naturally report to Zuo Shuai. Zuo Shuai will decide. This time he is here to borrow food and pay with two people. Zuo Shuai's life is not easy. The brothers are short of clothes and food, so they even borrow two people to raise their hands. For the time being, they will temporarily raise their hands. They will temporarily raise their urgent needs. When we have enough money, we will definitely return it."

If you don’t work hard, you want money. If you open your mouth, you will only have a million taels of silver. Dorgon was also angry and said coldly: “Since you have no intention of making friends, why are you talking about borrowing? You Zuo Shuai is really fantastic.”

This is a bit shameless. He wants money and face. How can such a good thing be done? As for the return, let alone Dorgon and Hong Chengchou do not believe it, Huang Shu himself does not believe it.

Seeing the two of them having a stalker, Hong Chengchou quickly smoothed out and said, "Prince, General Huang, don't be irritated. They all say that everything is discussed. Even if you can't be an official in the same dynasty, you can also become allies. Sichuan Governor Lu Wenhua covers up his evil intentions and is strong. We should not underestimate the enemy. It is better to retreat and form an alliance to fight against this person together. I wonder what General Huang wants?"

"This matter is very important now, and Huang has to go back and ask Zuo Shuai for instructions."

Seeing Huang Shu still using this trick to swear, Dorgon brushed his long sleeves and said coldly: "Then we have nothing to say. Let's talk about it when you finish asking your Zuo Shuai."

Huang Shu was still very kind and said to himself: "In fact, borrowing food and pay is for both sides. Zuo Shuai has food and pay, so that he can restrain the soldiers and do all kinds of preservation work. Both generals should know that Sichuan issued a killing order, and the bounty is very rich. Many people are ready to move, and some even want to take a boat to Jianzhou. These mobs are too impulsive. They are not the opponents of the Manchu Iron Cavalry. If Zuo Shuai hadn't stopped them, he wouldn't know how to save his life. But once Zuo Shuai had no food and could not send food and pay, I'm afraid......"

"Okay, I will borrow this money from the food and salary." Dorgon gritted his teeth and responded with a calm face.

This damn Zuo Liangyu, watching the fire from the other side of the river, was not counting. She actually extorted at this moment, which was simply despicable, but Dorgon still gritted his teeth and admitted it.

After Huang Shu left, Hong Chengchou said unwillingly: "Prince, Zuo Liangyu is rebellious, arrogant, arrogant, short-sighted. He is an ungrateful wolf who cannot feed him. Why should he be angry with him? His position in the Southern Ming Dynasty is awkward and he is not enough to accomplish anything, so there is no need to worry about him."

"Money can be understood, but money is the least worth cherishing. It comes easily and goes quickly. As long as there is a suitable price, why not do it?" Dorgon said confidently without the rage he had just now: "This time, he captured Ningqiangzhou City, and made millions of profits and countless food. It is not a pity to give it out. With one million taels and one hundred thousand stones of grain, he can stabilize Zuo Liangyu's part. Why not do it? Furthermore, when we gave him food and salary, we deliberately let Nan Ming know and let them worry about each other, so that I will not be afraid of attacking each other and concentrate our troops to fight against Sichuan. This transaction can be done well."

Hong Chengchou quickly complimented: "The prince is brilliant."

Dorgon sneered and said, "Zuo Liangyu and Nanming are both clowns who are jumping and leaping, and they are not worth worrying. The most important opponent now is Sichuan. General Hong. In your opinion, when will Sichuan react after we pacify Ningqiang Prefecture?"

Hong Chengchou was silent for a moment and finally said in a deep voice: "If it were someone else, I would probably wait a little longer. After all, it is still cold and it is very difficult to leave Sichuan. It is not the best time to attack. However, Sichuan is different. He was preparing a few years ago. His strategic focus has always been on Guangyuan. Guangyuan is its most important exit from Sichuan. He has reserved a large amount of strategic materials early on. After annexing the foreign land, Sichuan, which has not lacked horses, has become more abundant in animal power. Lu Wenhua is a person who does not play according to the rules. He is likely to immediately raise an army to retaliate."

Dorgon's eyes ignited the war and stood up and said, "My Eight Banners are the elite of the world and have the help of General Hong. There are millions of soldiers under his command. Although the firearms are slightly inferior, we also have muskets and cannons. In addition, we occupy so many powerful passes. Even if it is a war, I will be afraid of it?"
