Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 946
The ten thousand feet of sunshine pierced through the dark clouds in the sky and sprinkled on the Great North China Plain.Under the sun, countless towns are burning, and countless civilians are fleeing, or being slaughtered, and thousands of people are tied up with ropes and driven northward, crying.Similarly, countless soldiers of the Ming army were fiercely fighting against the torrent of destruction rolling in from the north, killing blood and blood.Under the sun is a terrible hell on earth, where there is only darkness and coldness, and all the warmth and kindness have been torn to pieces by killing and destruction.

But when the sun came out, there were thousands of cheers from the earth.

The sun is out, which means that this cold and biting winter is over and spring is here.

The hope that has endured a whole winter in the ice and snow is about to germinate under the sun. This thick land that has witnessed thousands of years of history is not so easy to conquer. Thousands of people have survived tenaciously on this land. Over the years, the people who have gone through countless ups and downs and encountered countless disasters but still survive tenaciously are not so easy to bow their heads. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will not give up!
The current situation in the Central Plains is that Mang Gurtai led 1 troops in his headquarters, and [-] Guanning troops were cautiously going all the way south, constantly testing the bottom line of the Ming army, and at the same time trying to attract the reinforcements from Shanxi. The Ming army came back to fight with him , Create opportunities for Dorgon to capture Yangquan or invade the Central Plains through Xuanfu.Unexpectedly, he was strongly blocked by the Ming army... The reason why it is called an accident is because the other army going south went smoothly. Under the command of Abatai, he entered Jiangnan from Hebei via Shandong all the way. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "like a broken bamboo"!However, Mang Gurtai did not have such a good life. He encountered the elite troops of the Ming army a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Shimen and Hengshui lines, and then there was an extremely bloody fight, which caused sparks to fly everywhere!The elite of Heluo's new army did not move. Most of the cavalry who fought with them were Mongolian cavalry and Huaisi cavalry. However, their fierceness and strength, as well as their superb cavalry skills, were not inferior to the elite of the Eight Banners. The large-scale cavalry battle, but the fierce battle of hundreds of people has not stopped, and the loss of Mangurtai's troops is not small.

Mangurtai just felt wronged!
That's right, I'm really wronged, it seems that every time he faces the new army of Ming Dynasty, he has no good fruit to eat.His Zhenglan Banner suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Dalinghe, and nearly [-] of the [-] Qing troops were killed in the battle of Lushun. He went all the way to the south and won Nanjing smoothly, but what about him?He was so blocked that he couldn't move an inch!Dad, what a bird, why did the Ming army die when they touched him?Do you think he is easy to bully?There is also the fat old eight, urging, urging, urging him to push the battle line to Shimen as soon as possible, and even further attack the daimingdao, urging him!Who doesn't know that there are heavy troops gathered in the Daming Road, the elite of the Heluo New Army gathered here, the Sichuan Army is also quite powerful, and the militia formed by the auxiliary soldiers of the Tianxiong Army should not be underestimated. Attacking the Daming Road, this is not taking the entire Zhenglan Banner. Is the life of ten thousand horses a joke?Labor and capital quit!

And that damn Dorgon swept through most of Shanxi last winter. Why hasn't he reached Xuanfu yet?Even if it means climbing, it’s time to climb, right?Could it be...could it be that you and the fat old man are digging holes for me?
The Daming Dao army gathered heavily, but there was no news of Dorgon's army, and Huang Taiji kept urging his life...

Mangurtai wanted to cry from the bottom of his heart, is there such a thing as a bully?

He didn't know that in a few days, he would cry without tears.

Handan City.

Under the management of the Tianxiong Army, this city, which was once brilliant in the Warring States Period and fell into a slump with the defeat of the Zhao Kingdom, has been revived. It has grown from a small city with a population of 6 to 40 to a large city with a population of [-].It is the most prosperous city in Damingdo. More than a dozen concrete avenues extend in all directions. The city walls have long been demolished. The old buildings in the old city are well preserved, but those low tile-roofed houses and thatched huts have long been demolished. Buildings made of red bricks, steel bars, and cement rise from the ground. Rows of buildings are as neat as infantry formations on a military parade. The streets are also repaired with cement, and some particularly prosperous areas are even paved with a layer of beautiful tiles. .Running water pipes have been laid to thousands of households, and there is a biogas tank under each building. In addition to the excrement produced in daily life, there are also workers who regularly transport truckloads of dung cakes from military horse farms and livestock farms for refilling. Entering, the biogas produced by fermentation is enough to supply the daily needs of a family of seven, and it also saves the hard work of ordinary people chopping firewood and burning charcoal.There are many textile factories, clothing factories, shoe factories, food processing factories and other factories in the city. As for the phosphate fertilizer factory, cement factory, hardware factory, steel factory and other large-scale factories that are relatively polluting and noisy, they are concentrated outside the city. , so the city is always so tidy and clean, every guest who comes to Handan is full of praise.Convenient transportation conditions, dense population, and strong productivity have made Handan rapidly prosper, with a large number of business travelers and wanderers. Except for Beijing, there is no other city in Beizhili that can match it.

But today, this vibrant city is shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, the whole city is under martial law, and there are three steps, one post and five steps, one post, but people from hundreds of miles around continue to rush over and gather in the Wuling Cong Everyone in National Taiwan University Plaza looked serious, because there they were about to witness the end of an old era and the birth of a new era.

Daming is about to complete a painful transformation here and be reborn from the ashes!

Lu Xiangsheng's mansion in Handan has now become a heavily guarded palace, and the living room has become a meeting hall. Hundreds of civil and military heroes gather together, Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu, Fang Yizhi, Fang Kongxuan, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zilong, Zou Weilian, Fan Wenlan, Xue Siming, Zhong Ning, Cao Jun...Huguang, Heluo, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Fujian provinces are basically full of civil and military talents, and the elites gather. Everyone looks solemn, silent, waiting silently with.

They had been waiting for two full hours, and the person who was supposed to come hadn't appeared yet, but no one showed any signs of impatience.They are waiting for two important people to make a decision that will affect the generations.

The impact of this decision is so far-reaching, why wait a few hours?

In the inner hall, Zhu Yujian took a thick document and read it line by line. He had read it several times, more seriously than before, as if he wanted to remember every word.Yang Menglong sat next to him, waiting quietly, without the slightest hint of impatience.

Finally, Zhu Yujian turned to the last page, read it word by word, remained silent for a long time, slowly exhaled, and closed the document.

Yang Menglong finally spoke: "Have you decided?"

Zhu Yujian smiled wryly: "It's difficult to make such a decision."

Yang Menglong nodded: "Yes, it's very difficult. After you sign this document, the royal family will lose most of its power and become a symbol, a spiritual sustenance to appease certain classes. The imperial power of more than two thousand years will be in your hands It is really difficult to make such a decision. Tell me, what is your decision?"

Zhu Yujian looked at him and asked, "What will happen to you if I refuse?"

Yang Menglong said: "I will find someone who is willing to accept all this."

Zhu Yujian was silent again. After a long time, he sighed and said, "It seems that you have made up your mind. Your will is stronger than steel. Once you make up your mind, nothing will change..." Shaking his head While sighing, he picked up the pen that was put aside, opened the document again, found the signature column, and was about to sign when he stopped suddenly, looked at Yang Menglong, and asked seriously: "Yang Menglong, if I give up the emperor, I will be born with you." Everything that came, can you really keep my ancestors of the Zhu family from offering sacrifices and eating blood?"

Yang Menglong nodded: "Yes!"

Zhu Yujian's eyes were sharp: "Can you really send your troops to the north, drive out the Tartars, and recover the half-bill rivers and mountains that were buried by the central government?"

Yang Menglong said: "Yes!"

Zhu Yujian asked sharply: "You can really restore the glory of Ming Dynasty, let the people in the world have surplus food, wine and meat, no more refugees, no more famine, no more corrupt officials, no more grievances. ?”

Yang Menglong nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Zhu Yujian let out a low growl: "You swear!"

Yang Menglong said, "I swear."

Zhu Yujian stared at him for a long time, suddenly gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and said to himself: "The emperors of all generations, the unfilial son Zhu Yujian is going to do a big treason today... Give up you who have won every battle and guarded 200 After many years of supreme authority, from now on, the descendants of the Zhu family are no longer the sons of heaven, and no longer have a constitutional power! You have spirits in the sky, you will be furious, right? But the unworthy descendants have to do this, only Only in this way can we save the Daming country, and only in this way can we save the hundreds of millions of Li people! These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are not just our Zhu family's. We squeezed them too tightly, and they are about to be crushed. It is time to loosen them. I will bear the burden of infamy for thousands of years, I only hope that the ancestors and ancestors will continue to sacrifice, the Zhu family will continue to burn, and hundreds of millions of people will be safe!"

"My ancestors, my ancestors, bless me, and have pity on these hundreds of millions of people!"

On the other side, Empress Zhou also quietly flipped through the documents in her hand.She was quite haggard and hadn't recovered from the life-and-death escape.Shi Tianbao and Zhou Ruhu escaped death, and finally rescued her, several princes and princesses, and several concubines, but as soon as they left Beijing, they were immediately chased and killed by the Qing army and even the rebellious Ming army. Days without fighting, nights of horror, escape and bloody battles became the whole of each day, and every time she thought of this experience, she felt lingering fear.Eighty miles away from Shimen, this party was overtaken by the cavalry of the Qing army. In order to protect her, the soldiers who had finally struggled to escape here turned around without hesitation, and dragged their tired bodies to meet the menacing Qing army. Iron cavalry, only a few people covered them and escaped... Hearing the sound of weapons clashing and screams coming from behind, the soul of this kind and gentle woman trembled!When she saw the prince, she hugged him desperately and cried loudly, throwing everything into the sea with the demeanor of a mother.

For members of the royal family like them, too many people sacrificed, and the lives of each of them were bought at an extremely high price!
The clauses and lines on the document are simply outrageous from the traditional point of view. Let alone putting these things in front of the royal family, even if they are just discussing them in private, it is a serious crime that all the clans will punish!But now, the queen read page by page, but she was very calm. After reading, she let out a sigh from the bottom of her heart:
"This is what they deserve..."

The prince called in a low voice: "Mother..."

The queen closed the document, raised her head, looked at the prince tenderly, and asked softly, "My child, have you really decided?"

The prince nodded vigorously: "It's decided!"

The queen said: "You have to think about it clearly. For example, if you sign on it, you will lose most of your power. As long as you are still the emperor, you will still have a respected status and enjoy endless glory and wealth. But After giving way, you really have nothing!"

The prince showed an indifferent smile that was seriously inconsistent with his age, and said: "Who said there is nothing left? After giving up the throne, the child can get rid of the innate shackles that make the child breathless and recover. Freedom, then the child can grow up like any ordinary child, study everywhere, travel around, and finally become a great person like Uncle Fang and the others, instead of a puppet wearing a royal robe!"

The queen's complexion changed slightly: "How can you talk like that!"

The prince showed a longing look, and murmured: "Mother, in the past few years with the teacher, the child has learned and seen many interesting things, such as chubby giant pandas, ferocious tigers, even more ferocious than tigers." Lions, tall and unusually tall ostriches...these are simply invisible in the palace! There is also the overseas continent that the teacher often talks about, and you can reach Europe through the Arabian world formed by a series of oases through the obscure Huijiang. After crossing Liaodong, crossing Ninggu Tower, and crossing a big river, you can reach Xianbelia, which is ruled by ice and snow... Also, Countess Catherine told me that you can reach Africa by boat over thousands of miles of waves. The land is ruled by countless blacks. If you change the route and sail for a year, you can reach the American continent. There is a mysterious golden country, endless forests, and vast plains. There are very few people there, and most of them are as yellow and black as us. Eyes, Europeans call them Indians! The world is so vast and wonderful, and the child’s biggest wish is to travel one by one, to appreciate the infinite scenery and various styles of the world, to appreciate the lofty sentiments of sailing the sea, and the boundless Boundless freedom! A few years ago, when I was a prince, I was manipulated like a puppet for a few years. This kind of experience really scares me, let me go!"

The queen hesitated to speak, and finally sighed quietly, asking: "You don't miss this supreme power at all, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?"

The prince said: "I haven't got it before, so why don't I miss it? Besides, if I really want to be an emperor, I will take it with my ability!" He waved his arms and said, "When I have enough fun and learned, I may organize a Send an army to the Arab world in the northwest, to the Southeast Asian countries in the south, or simply sail to the sea. Some of these places are unconquered lands. The child will lay down a large piece of land by his own ability, rule the common people there, and establish a country of his own. One's own country, and then govern it and build it according to one's own ideals! Isn't this better than relying on the legacy of one's ancestors to ascend to the throne, and then quarreling with a group of ministers who eat vegetarian meals every day, how much better it is to waste time!"

Speaking of this, this little guy was in high spirits, as if he had turned into a great general on the battlefield, and the queen felt relieved to see it.If a child has such an ideal and can learn so much from a genius like Yang Menglong, why not do it?She put her arms around the prince and said excitedly: "My son, you are so happy to think of the queen mother like this! You have such ambition, why can't you build a country? The queen mother supports you!"

The prince chuckled: "Queen mother, don't be too happy too early. The child just said, maybe!"

The queen was startled: "Huh?"

The prince said: "Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe the child will have no interest in these things in the future, or even travel around, and just want to be an ordinary farmer? Don't have high hopes."

The queen stared blankly... no, stared at her son. Her hands were moving, and she didn't know whether she was looking for a whip or a stick.With a clear conscience, she rarely quarreled with others, let alone spanked her children, and it was too late to hurt her.But now, she really wanted to push this unreliable, hated little guy like Yang Menglong to the ground, stripped off his pants and whipped him!Yang Menglong, the bastard, how much he has taught the crown prince his real skills is still unknown, but his unreliable and inconspicuous style, the crown prince has learned a lot!
What a scourge!

The queen who was gnashing her teeth didn't know that although her precious son had become as unreliable and out of tune as Yang Menglong, he had also learned Yang Menglong's skills. Twenty years later, this unreliable guy suddenly emerged like the original Yang Menglong, and he was invincible across the battlefield, sweeping West Asia and the Middle East, regardless of whether it was the rebellious Kurds or the extremely powerful Ottomans, or even the Ottomans. Beating up one by one, and letting him beat him up will end up with a broken tendon and a broken bone. In a daze, he has laid down a territory much larger than that of Daming, and he has also given a chilling nickname:

Conquer the king!
