That is to say, time is the medicine that heals everything!
What's more, now Bumubutai still needs Hong Chengchou to help him come up with ideas and find ways to suppress the rumors that have been rampant in the capital recently.
Bumbutai cleared his throat and spoke.
"Have the Qing family heard about the rumor that has been widely circulated in the capital recently?"
Hong Chengchou nodded.
"Report to the Queen Mother, I have heard something!"
Bumbutai squinted his eyes and said.
"Does the Qing family have any way to suppress that rumor?"
"If we continue to let that rumor spread, I'm afraid it will damage the prestige of the imperial court!"
Hong Chengchou learned the lesson this time and came up with his own solution without hesitation.
"Reply to the Queen Mother!"
"In my opinion, it is actually not difficult to suppress this rumor!"
"As long as another more powerful rumor comes out!"
Hong Chengchou's words awakened Bumbutai.
Bumubutai nodded slightly and then spoke.
"The Qing family has done well, let's go back and rest!"
Hong Chengchou resigned and left, while Bumbutai's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look.
It was only the next day that more explosive rumors spread in the capital.
For example, Huang Taiji and Dorgon are like Brokeback Mountain.
For example, what about Fan Wencheng's wife and Duo Duo, the three days and three nights that the Dorgon brothers had to talk about.
What about the love and hatred between Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan?
These messy news quickly suppressed all the gossip about Bumbutai.
After all, compared to Bumu Butai and Obai's simple pornographic rumors.
Obviously later, these rumors mixed with homosexuality, love triangle, and ethical relationships became more popular.
The hot search list in Beijing changes rapidly!
…
Guangzhou City!
Zhu Hongyu personally wrote and signed the combat order to launch an attack on Guangxi.
Nearly 20,000 Liberation Army troops and 10,000 Guiyi Army troops were mobilized to launch an attack on Guangxi.
In addition, nearly 50,000 civilians were mobilized to accompany the army, responsible for escorting the army's food, grass, ordnance, etc. needed for this battle.
The Ming army marched towards Guangxi in a mighty manner!
Zhu Hongyu stood at the top of the city, watching the army heading west, looking at the crimson armor spread out on the ground as far as the eye could see.
The blood is surging in my chest!
This is his army!
He was not planning to personally lead the troops in this battle, but was planning to stay in Guangzhou and focus more of his energy on government affairs and overall strategy.
And make plans for when the Qing army goes south!
Such aspects of the war can be entrusted to the generals of the Liberation Army.
The most that can be done is to equip them with a staff team to ensure that there will be no major strategic and tactical problems.
The next thing that happened was that the Ming army relied on hard power to push back!
"The clouds are like dragons, the wind is like tigers, fame and wealth are like dust and dirt!"
"Looking at China, the people are suffering and the fertile land for thousands of miles is barren!"
"Look at the world, there are no barbarians, and only one man can make up for what is missing in the way of heaven!"
"..."
Everyone in the Liberation Army knew that their supervisor was standing at the top of the city, watching them.
Emotionally excited, singing military songs!
Following the chant, they marched forward in an orderly manner.
Their heads were held high, full of pride.
…
Outside Xinhui City, Yangshupo Village.
It got its name because there are many poplar trees planted on the hillside behind the village.
But on that hillside, there were more bones pulled out from Xinhui City.
At that time, the Qing army defended Xinhui, and the defenders in the city were short of food, so they killed people for food.
Buried on the hillside of Yangshupo Village are the bones of the people who died tragically at the hands of the Qing soldiers.
When the Ming Dynasty wanted to mobilize troops to conquer Guangxi, it was necessary to mobilize militia groups and civilian men in Guangdong as auxiliary troops.
During this process, the people of Xinhui showed unusual positivity.
The local landowners provided money and grain, and the common people contributed people and efforts, and voluntarily wanted to transport grain and grass for the army.
…
It was still dark, and the moon in the sky was giving off a hazy light.
However, smoke was already rising in the village, and every household was lighting a fire to cook.
The same was true for Li Tianguang's mother-in-law, who groped her way up before dawn.
Not willing to light an oil lamp, I got dressed in the dark and then went to the kitchen to start working.
I lit the firewood stove, grabbed a handful of rice, and prepared to cook a pot of porridge.
But she hesitated and grabbed another handful.
Then he started working on other things. After steaming the steamed buns, he fried a small cabbage in lard.
Reheat the chicken stewed last night!
After Li Tianguang's mother-in-law finished her work, she made breakfast.
It's daybreak, the roosters at home are singing, and the sun has risen, lighting up most of the sky.
Li Tianguang got up from the bed, went to the dry toilet outside his courtyard wall to fill the water, and while holding his belt, he walked towards his kitchen.
Watching my mother-in-law busy in the kitchen, I feel warm in my heart.
He sat on the table and began to eat a hearty breakfast.
The Li family is actually quite poor. They raise a few chickens at home, but they are also used to lay eggs and then sell the eggs.
Even during the holidays, you may not be reluctant to eat chicken.
Seeing Li Tianguang eating voraciously but not touching the can of chicken, his mother-in-law couldn't help but speak.
"Master, please eat some meat!"
"The imperial court wants to recruit Master to attack Guangxi. The terrain in Guangxi is rugged and plagued by malaria. Coupled with the hardships and hardships of the army's march, we don't know how many people will die on the way."
"How can you go on the road if you don't have enough to eat?"
Listening to his mother-in-law's words, Li Tianguang always felt strange, but more importantly, he was moved.
But he shook his head firmly.
"No, I already had it last night!"
"Keep it for the kids!"
The couple looked at each other, their eyes full of reluctance.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to conquer Guangxi and mobilized regiments and civilians from all over Guangdong to accompany the army. Li Tianguang was selected and couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
Of course, when the Ming Dynasty recruited civilian husbands, it gave certain subsidies.
It's about five silver dollars per person.
Not much, but not too little either!
You must know that Chinese farmers in this era may not necessarily earn five silver dollars a year from farming.
However, even with a subsidy of five silver dollars, Li Tianguang's mother-in-law did not want her man to join the army and become a civilian husband.
From Guangdong to Guangxi, the distance is thousands of miles!
Not to mention there are still battles to be fought along the way!
In Mrs. Li Tianguang's understanding, when civilians go to the battlefield, aren't they going to be dragged to the front line to be used as cannon fodder?
What is the difference between these five silver dollars and the money he gave his husband for his life?
Just as the couple was talking softly to each other, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Tianguang got up and opened the door.
Standing at the door was the head of their village, a retired military officer.
Three fingers are missing from his right hand, but his figure is still upright. He learned basic reading and writing in the army and read a lot of books after he was discharged.
