Beijing, Qianqing Palace, Emperor Shunzhi is discussing strategies to break the situation with Empress Dowager Zhaosheng.
For the Qing court, it seemed that the territory it controlled was still vast, but it was short of soldiers and pay, and it was in a dilemma. The envoys sent to the Khoshote Khanate ran into trouble and returned, and even Monan Mongolia, which had always been obedient, had been recruited There are not too many soldiers, and the in-laws Horqin tribe even said that all the warriors in the tribe who can fight have been recruited into the army, and it is really impossible to recruit more.
There was no choice but to find new sources of living water, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would die of thirst.
Rakshasa Kingdom? No! This country is too ambitious. Asking them to send troops is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
The Red Mao Yi people came, and they seemed to be natural allies of the Qing Dynasty. They did not want land, they only asked for trading rights in Beizhili, Shandong ports, and an island of Taiwan.
It was just a small island, insignificant, and it was in the area occupied by the Ming Dynasty. If it was ceded to them, it could also provoke conflicts between the Red Mao Yi people and the Ming Dynasty. After discussing it with the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, Emperor Shunzhi found it acceptable and decided to open it to the Red Mao Yi people. Trade in Changli, Beitang, Yanshan, Shandong Lijin, Shouguang, Changyi and other places in North Zhili.
Vander Laan came to the Qianqing Palace as the special envoy of the seventeen gentlemen from the Batavia headquarters of the Dutch East India Company, and he behaved politely.
It is said that when the emperor receives foreign envoys, he usually receives them in the Hall of Supreme Harmony (Fengtian Hall) during a grand ceremony. The reception lasts for a long time. He rarely meets an envoy from a country alone. If any matter arises in each country, he will go to the Ministry of Rites , Honglu Temple, Lifanyuan and other officials discussed. Today is different from the past, the Qing Dynasty is in danger, and any ally is good, so Emperor Shunzhi put down his arrogance and received him alone in Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, I come here with the goodwill of the East India Company. I hope you can seriously consider the company's suggestions and promote the comprehensive development of the friendship between the Qing Dynasty and the Netherlands," Vanderlaan said very sincerely.
"Our Qing Dynasty is rich in products and has no need for trade. Considering that your country is small and barren, I have approved and plan to allow your merchant ships to land and trade in Changli, Beitang, Yanshan, Lijin, Shouguang, Changyi and other places." , Emperor Shunzhi asked for help from others, but he spoke very arrogantly. When the donkey falls, the air cannot fall.
"This is great, Your Majesty, you are truly the greatest monarch in history," Vander Laan beamed with joy.
"How many troops can your company send to help the Qing Dynasty defend Shandong?"
"The East India Company is willing to dispatch two thousand musketeers, carrying the most advanced artillery, to help His Majesty defend Shandong, and dispatch fifteen warships to guard Dagu Port and Beitang Port."
"I'm afraid two thousand people are a bit small, and they may not be able to stop the Ming army." When he heard that there were only two thousand musketeers, Emperor Shunzhi was a little discouraged.
"Your Majesty, these two thousand people are equipped with the most advanced firearms in the world. They can block ten with one. If it is not enough, our company will increase the number of troops appropriately."
"In this case, I will wait and see."
At the end of the dynasty, any hope must be grasped.
??
In Fei County, Gunzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, Sun Yanling summoned his confidants to discuss matters. Generals Liu Yanming, Xu Hongzhen, and Xu Shangyuan sat on both sides.
"You all have discussed, the Ming army's front is approaching, where should our army go?" Sun Yanling frowned deeply.
"By the way, Shi Huashan placed our army outside the city because he wanted to use our army to consume the Ming army. He had evil intentions." Liu Yanming spoke first.
"Yes, by the way, how can we stop the Ming army's more than 100,000 tigers and wolves with three thousand soldiers and horses in our military area?" Xu Hongzhen didn't want to fight either.
Xu Shangyuan's words were a little heart-wrenching, "I dare to ask, how do you think your fighting ability compares with your Taishan? Back then, your Taishan, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, was not a match for Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty. Now he will be no match."
Soldiers are wary and fearful. Fighting against the Ming Dynasty is tantamount to striking an egg against a stone or a moth flying into a flame, causing one's own destruction.
As soon as he said this, Sun Yanling became discouraged, "What about our army going north and withdrawing to Jinan?"
"Withdraw to Jinan, what if the Ming army attacks Jinan again?"
Xu Shangyuan rolled his eyes and suddenly knelt down and said: "The Ming Dynasty has swept the world. It's just a ploy. It's better to return to the Ming Dynasty anyway."
"Please lead us back to the Ming Dynasty." Liu Yanming and Xu Hongzhen also couldn't afford to kneel down.
Sun Yanling took a look and realized that he had lost his military morale. If he refused, he would probably be tied up by his subordinates immediately and presented to the Ming army. He sighed: "You are all doing this for my own good, how could I not know? But you have to be careful about this matter."
, a cautious person must be sent to contact the Ming army."
"Bang!"
The door of the hall was kicked open, and Kong Sizhen, the princess of Heshuo, barged in fiercely, pointed at Sun Yanling and yelled: "You are such an ungrateful, wolf-hearted thing! Why did the Qing Dynasty fail you, and you dared to defect to the Ming Dynasty and rebel against the Qing Dynasty?"
?"
This scolding is like a lion roaring from the east of the river.
At first, Sun Yanling was a little ashamed. Gradually, her face became more and more gloomy, and the generals pressed their sword hilts with murderous intent on their faces.
"Since ancient times, husbands have always followed wives, so why don't the princess join her husband in revolting against the Qing Dynasty?" Sun Yanling said softly.
"Bah, I have been so kind to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, how can I do what you did to betray the Lord and be unfaithful and unjust? You are eating the salary of the Qing Dynasty, but you are not willing to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. What is it really~
!"
A sharp sword pierced Kong Sizhen's chest.
She couldn't believe that he dared to kill her, "You are so cruel!"
"Hmph", Sun Yanling pulled out the sword and wiped it carefully with a white handkerchief, "When you married me, you were not perfect, I can tolerate it; I can tolerate your debauchery and shamelessness, bringing shame to the family, but I will never tolerate you.
Si Chen, you are interfering in military matters. I will wash away my shame with your blood today!"
This cuckold king had long had the desire to kill his wife. He cut off Kong Sizhen's head with a knife and ordered: "Hand over the head of this unfaithful man to the Ming army to prove my sincerity of submission."
??
At the Ming army camp in Moshan Town, Tancheng, Shandong, Zhu Hengjia was resting and preparing to break out of the camp to attack Yizhou. He actually received Sun Yanling's surrender and Kong Sizhen's head. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said to Zheng Feng: "People's words."
A couple has been gracious to each other for a hundred days, but Sun Yanling actually killed his wife for the sake of fame and fortune. What a vicious villain!"

Zheng Feng laughed and said: "Real villains are often more loyal than hypocrites. Wouldn't it be a pity that your Majesty doesn't use such a villain?"
Zhu Hengjia immediately understood that Sun Yanling had killed the princess of the Qing Dynasty and surrendered. He had no way out and his reputation had been ruined. He could only surrender to him wholeheartedly. This kind of person is often the most reliable!
"Hahaha, what Zheng Qing said is that it would be a pity if such a villain is not used!"
Immediately issued an order to make Sun Yanling the commander-in-chief of Hejian Army, and ordered Li Mingzhong and Jing Keqin to lead 30,000 troops to capture Feixian County, then cross the Junhe River, capture Gegoudian, and cut off Yue Le's escape to the north along the Yishui River.
He led a hundred thousand troops and sent troops to Yizhou to contain Yue Le.
Originally, he didn't want to attack Fei County, but wanted to concentrate his forces to attack Yizhou. Unexpectedly, Sun Yanling was the leader of the Qing army, so you're welcome. Everyone knows that His Majesty likes to fight annihilation wars the most.
After getting the fighter jet, I was in a good mood and wanted to write a poem. "Come here, bring me a pen and paper." A cycle poem was immediately written.
"Chang Ge Bei Hui"
Chang Ge North wields the might of a dragon and a tiger,
The power of the dragon and the tiger will return to you.
A strong wind started blowing when I returned home.
A strong wind blows to the north.
"Your Majesty, I am also thinking of a poem," Zheng Feng said.
"Oh, Zheng Qing wrote."
After writing it, Zhu Hengjia took a look and saw that it was also a cyclic poem. However, Zheng Feng lamented that Kong Sizhen died at the hands of her husband, so he composed a poem "The Tears Are Not Dry".
"The Tears Are Not Dried"
A sigh filled the mountain with sadness,
The mountains are full of sorrow and the beauty is disabled.
The mountain beauty’s tears are still wet,
I sighed before my tears were dry.
After reading the song "Undried Tears" written by Zheng Feng, Emperor Guangwu was so happy that he burst out laughing, "Zheng Qing, Zheng Qing, you are good at everything, but you are a bit affectionate. Fighting for the world, it is a matter of life and death for a mere woman.
