After listening to Huang Taiji's words, the big figures of the Sixty-Four Banners present all understood - the Great Khan was going to fight the Ming Dynasty!
Because although the beggar emperor of the Southern Dynasties was embarrassed by successive years of famine, he still maintained the most basic stability and could maintain the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. In the five and six years of Tiancong's war, Hou Jin The sound of the west and the east was played beautifully, and it played a trick on Zhu Cixiang, the nephew of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
However, in the several "Shengxi" battles of the Jin Army, the Ming Army beat them all up! Even the Ji Liao army, which had always been afraid of the Ming army, sneaked to Jinzhou to cut wheat under the command of Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou... Erbeile Amin was so stunned that he did not dare to go out to fight and only defended the city of Jinzhou. Fortunately, it was Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou who led the troops, instead of the foolish and bold Concubine Wu Liangha. Otherwise, the Hongyi artillery was transferred from Shanhaiguan, and Jinzhou City might have been taken down...
The Hou Jin Army's brigade that "attacked the east" was defeated twice on Jianghua Island. Even with the Hongyi artillery, it could not defeat the Ming army's castle. Since they could not capture Ganghwa Island, Dorgon and others had no way to go south and defeat North Korea. In the end, they could only "return victoriously." After the Jin army left, Yang Hao and Li Xin, who had been nesting on Ganghwa Island for more than half a year, returned to Hanyang City with the North Korean King Li Zhu, and at the same time reported the victory to Zhu You... So this The battle of Changrenshen and Korea was also a "win-win battle."
So by the end of the sixth year of Tiancong, the senior people of the Jin Kingdom had already seen a very obvious decline... If the power of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty had not been trapped by natural disasters, Houjin would have been in the sixth year of Tiancong. Had to suffer a disastrous defeat, perhaps Jinzhou was broken and Amin's entire army was annihilated! Maybe Dorgon was defeated in Korea and returned in rout!
But how long can the natural disasters of the Ming Dynasty last?
Anyone who has farmed or herded cattle knows that God has a good and bad temper... Generally speaking, if you survive the disaster, you will have a good harvest.
The Ming Dynasty has experienced major disasters for six or seven years from the end of the Apocalypse to the present... so the probability of a bumper harvest is very high. If there is a great harvest for several consecutive years and Zhu Youjian is able to save enough military rations, the Kingdom of Jin will be in danger of destruction.
So now I have to take advantage of your disaster and kill you!
The Kingdom of Jin is going to fight!
Huang Taiji had already stood up from his chair, with a solemn look on his face: "Now Korea has been settled, the troops are sufficient, the food and grass are sufficient, and the morale is high. I will personally lead the army and then leave Yanshan, first defeat Xinzhou and regain Datong. Take a detour to enter the pass and plunder the Central Plains!"
...
"If you steal my things, I will fight with you!"
When Huang Taiji roared in Shenyang City and was about to lead the warriors of the Eight Riders and Eight Banners to plunder the Central Plains, the bravest child in the Ming Dynasty, King Xin Zhu Cixuan, who was about to be four years old, also roared.
This is King Xin Zhu Cixuan who followed his mother into battle at the age of three to kill the enemy!
Someone actually dares to steal his things, this is not okay!
The young prince is not a gentleman who talks a lot but doesn't take action. After roaring, he pulled out two small pink fists, shouted: "Hit you, hit you..." and then punched a large "porcelain doll" "The little girl rushed over.
The little girl was holding a bunch of candied haws in her hand, and she was licking them beautifully! Seeing the young prince rushing towards him, he didn't panic or rush. He picked up the candied haws in his hand and smashed it on the prince's head. It seems that the young prince's martial arts skills are not good. His two little fists are stretched out, only attacking but not defending. He doesn't even protect the most important part of his head. As soon as the candied haws was smashed down, the flowers bloomed immediately! Fortunately, it wasn't the head that bloomed, but the candied haws of sugar-coated haws that bloomed and stuck to the little prince's forehead.
The little girl was quite ferocious, and it was not enough to hit her once. She picked up the candied haws and smashed it down, once, twice and three times, all of which hit her head. Although Zhu Cixuan has been "battle-hardened" for a long time, he has never been in a duel with anyone! I never thought there was such a powerful young lady in the world. I was immediately stunned and forgot to fight back. I sat down on the ground and started crying. While crying, I reached out to touch my forehead. I felt a bit of candied haws dregs stuck to it and put it in my mouth. It was quite delicious.
But when he thought that the whole candied haws was snatched away by Wu Sanmei, the first tyrant of Xiyuan, and only a little bit of the dregs was left, the young prince cried even more sadly. While crying, he said: "It's gone, it's gone, it's gone." ..."
Alas, if Huang Taiji sees this, his morale will be doubled!
If he can't defeat such an enemy again, why should he be a big sweat?
The little prince was crying, and his brother Zhu Cixi came "reciting a curse"... The little guy muttered words as he walked: "Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Ypsilon, Zeta... ....”
It turns out that Zhu Cixi has already started learning Latin!
Zhu Youjian's biggest regret in his previous life was of course the Jiashen Disaster, when he almost lost his country! And his second biggest regret is that he did not educate his sons properly... Although Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cijiong, and Zhu Cizhao are more ferocious than the other, they are all talented men who can carry a three-foot sword and conquer thousands of miles of territory. But their skills were not taught by Zhu Youjian, they seemed to be self-taught.
In order to make up for the negligence in the education of his children in his previous life, Zhu Youjian in this life prepared the most stringent "happy education" plan for his sons early in the morning.
For example, from the age of four and a half, Zhu Cixiang had to learn to read, count, Latin letters, draw a bow, ride a horse, fencing, and swim... Basically, he was fully developed. He learned so much at a young age. Happy!
The child Zhu Cixi is indeed very smart. He has no difficulty in recognizing words, counting is very simple, and there is no difficulty in sports. That is to say, the Latin alphabet is a little difficult to remember. But Zhu Cixiang worked hard enough and recited it whenever he had time. Now that he has memorized the letters, he can now learn the words.
This intelligence really made Xu Guangqi, Li Tianjing, Song Yingxing (Song Yingxing also graduated from high school in the first year of Chongzhen, and now works in the Ministry of Industry) and others who served as the nephew's lecturers very happy - it seems that the Ming Dynasty will produce Mingjun in succession!
"Third sister, you bullied my brother again!"
Zhu Cixuan had just returned from class. When he arrived at Ziguang Pavilion in Xiyuan, he heard Zhu Cixuan crying.
Ziguang Pavilion is close to Yuxi Palace and is the residence of Empress Zhou, Zhu Cixiang, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Ainao. Zhu Cixuan, who came to Beijing for vaccination, and Wu Sanmei, who accompanied him to the palace, also lived here. Except for Zhu Cijiong who is still young, the other four children are all about the same age and can play together.
But that girl Wu Sanmei doesn't have a good movie either. She always bullies Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Yuluo because of her height... In fact, she just steals their toys and snacks. Fortunately for Zhu Aona, she was just a "fairy" girl who didn't like to eat anything. As long as she didn't snatch her doll, she would follow Wu Sanmei around. Zhu Cixuan was pitiful. He was bullied by Wu Sanmei every now and then until he cried.
Seeing his brother coming, Zhu Cixuan wiped his tears and went up to complain, "Brother, my third sister bullied me..."
Wu Sanmei's nature was a little wild, but she was very obedient when she saw Zhu Cixiang. She immediately put the candied haws behind her back, stood there with her head bowed, her little mouth pouted and stopped talking, as if she acknowledged her mistake.
Zhu Cixiang was still like that. He was a little adult. When he saw that Wu Sanmei had realized her mistake, he comforted his younger brother and said, "Second brother, please stop crying. Brother knows, and he will help you beat her!"
Zhu Cixuan was easy to fool. When he heard this, he broke down in tears and laughed. He didn't ask when his brother was going to beat his sister-in-law, so he wiped away his tears and laughed proudly. He even forgot to come back with the candied haws. He just made a fuss. I followed my brother into the main hall.
Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang were both inside. They were opening the memorials sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, both of them frowning. Seeing the two brothers Zhu Cixuan and Zhu Cixuan come in, Zhou Hou put down the memorial in his hand and said to Zhu Cixuan: "Er Bao, you came just in time. I was about to talk to you about returning to the vassal territory to take charge... ..”
"Sit in charge," Zhu Cihong asked, "Auntie, are you a northern slave or an eastern slave?"
Queen Zhang said: "It's Donglu! Yuan Chonghuan reported that Donglu has moved again!"
