The day after Shunji talked with Dorgon, Haug held a banquet in honor of his fourteenth uncle.

On the surface, it is to protect Dorgon, but in fact, it is the two white flags that want to win over the Dorgon brothers.

If given the opportunity, he will start something to try to seize the throne!

Because Hauge always believed that he deserved to inherit the throne because of his hard work and merit. It was the late Emperor Ama's partiality that caused him to lose the throne.

He is not outstanding among all the princes. The Emperor Ama made a will when he was dying. He was probably bewitched by the contents of the Barbarian Book of Heaven.

Hauge's idea is very simple. As long as the two white flags join forces with his own blue flag, and then win over the two red flags in Mandahai, and appease the two gray flags, then great things will be done.

Dorgon pretended that he didn't understand Hauge's implicit invitation, so he managed to appease his nephew.

Although the Qing Dynasty was newly defeated, it could still regroup.

Although Man Ming won, it was difficult to cross the river quickly to fight.

Dorgon knew Haug even better than Haug himself.

At least Dorgon believed that Hauge did not have the qualifications to be an emperor. He was born with a weak brain and acquired uneducated.

The Qing Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty. If the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was a coward, he would probably be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty in less than twenty years.

Even for the sake of the millions of Zimin of the Qing Dynasty, they could not support Hauge to rise to power.

Regarding the contents of the Heavenly Book, Dorgon originally only believed in one point, that is, the Qing Dynasty could conquer the world, and he did not believe in the rest.

Now that the ninth son of the emperor, Fulin, has ascended the throne, and his reign is Shunji, we can trust him a little more, and we will consider the rest.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty. If Haoge makes trouble again, the Demon Boy will undoubtedly have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

To sum it up in one sentence, the Qing Dynasty cannot be in chaos!

At that time, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty lost the land in the pass. Facing the Man Ming's crusade, it still lingered in the north for many years.

Now the Qing Dynasty King's Division lost a lot of troops and horses in the previous campaign, but the foundation is still there and has not been uprooted by the devil boy.

The cavalry that was withdrawn, plus those who were reorganized and trained in the rear, could number one hundred thousand.

Gathering guards from various places and training some young men at the same time, you can also get 200,000 infantry.

Dorgon believed that it was completely feasible to use 300,000 troops to defend the line from Songhua River to Nenjiang River, and it was even easier than holding on to Liaodong before.

Especially the landforms in the area north of the Songhua River were not well understood by the barbarians. Instead, the Sauron people drew a more detailed map, which could be used by Wang Shi.

If the barbarians invade, the king's division can rely on the favorable terrain, wait for work, and ambush the barbarians' troops invading from the north. At that time, they can win a few battles to boost morale.

After many days of thinking, Shunji finally decided to abandon the area south of the Songhua River to the Nen River and focus on defending the vast area north of the two rivers.

However, following the tactics of the barbarians, this is also a flexible defense. In summer, the south bank can be abandoned, and in winter, the cavalry can cross the river. If the barbarians are encountered, the cavalry and infantry can fight, and if they encounter barbarians, the common people can be plundered.

At the same time, Shunji also divided the winter war zone, and the area east of the Asov River to the Blackwater belonged to Haug.

The west bank of the Asu River to the east bank of the Haihe River (Mudanjiang) belongs to Abate and Dudu, the west bank of the Haihe River to the east bank of the Songhua River belongs to the Dorgon brothers, and further west is under the defense of the two red flags.

Each of the four armies can be supported by a certain number of Han troops and Menggu banners, and the troops and horses of Sishun Wang and Gong are under the command of Shunji.

At the same time, Shunji agreed to Dorgon's proposal and restored the strength of the king's division to 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry.

If the recovery situation is good and the court can support it, then the army will be expanded by another 100,000 troops.

Except for Hauge, no one else had objections to this decision.

Hauge believed that he had been pushed out of the camp and was going to the eastern defense zone, which was equivalent to being exiled.

In this regard, Shunji's explanation was that the defense area could attack the Manming vassal state, and Uncle Fourteen had gained a lot before.

If Zhenglan Banner, Menggu Banner, and Han Army Banner each have no less than 30,000 people and still have no harvest, others can take over.

This is Shunji's showdown on Hauge!

There is no need for this guy to stay in the palace and think about the throne every day. Over there, he can do whatever he likes.

What Shunji said was true. Zhengbai Banner and Zhenglu Banner had captured countless items after many years of fighting against the Manming vassal.

In the past, it was naturally not enough.

However, Master Wang has lost the possibility of entering the pass to plunder. Compared with before, the results of this battle between the two banners made everyone look at them with admiration.

After Dorgon returned, he also gave many trophies to Shunji and other brothers and descendants, so everyone benefited.

Hauge naturally accepted it, but he was determined not to appreciate it...

Dorgon didn't expect this guy to reciprocate the favor, as long as he didn't stay in the camp and mess around.

Although Wang's division suffered heavy losses, fortunately the cannon-casting craftsmen had already been moved to the rear by the late emperor.

As long as these skilled craftsmen are still there, the Qing Dynasty King will be able to regain an artillery team and make a comeback.

Seeing that no one said good things for him, Hauge could only sulk on his own, and finally set off with the Five Flags troops before the beginning of spring.

If we don't leave, it will be difficult for the army to cross the river as time passes, the ice and snow melt, and the river thaws.

*******************************

In the thirty-third year of Chongzhen and the seventeenth year of Haojing, the New Year's Eve of the year 1660 in the Western calendar fell on February 10th.

Before the Chinese New Year, a certain new emperor just returned from Xilewen River Guard. As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, he could not be among the first to board the ship.

A certain new emperor also wanted to taste the local delicacies before returning to the court.

As for the gift to the court and the people, it was the annihilation of 210,000 enemies, of which more than 60,000 pigtails were captured, and about 30,000 people survived after treatment.

Why save these heinous pigtails?

The reason is very simple. A certain new emperor is still waiting for them to mine and repay the money!

This Northern Expedition cost a lot of money, and the silver reward alone reached an astonishing amount of about 45 million taels.

Including pensions, ammunition and ordnance and other supplements, the total cost is close to 60 million taels.

It is equivalent to the 40 million silver coins that a certain new emperor took out before, as well as the silver deposits in Taicang, the household department, all of which were wiped out at once!

Let 30,000 pigtails go mining, and each person will be able to dig out ore worth one thousand taels of silver.

And he can't go to Monan Jinshan to mine. If he is rescued by the braided cavalry, he will suffer a big loss.

The place where a certain new emperor arranged for them to go was the Grasberg gold mine on the island of New Guinea!

This gold mine contains 3,400 tons of gold, 18,000 tons of silver, and 39 million tons of copper. It is a veritable cornucopia.

On the island, unless the pigtails go to the mountains and become savages, they will never be able to fly.

The island of New Guinea used to belong to the Netherlands, but it had been bought by a new emperor for the price of two ironclad ships.

The Dutch had to agree, because they had been tortured by the British and had no energy to take care of their eastern possessions.

For them, it would be a great blessing to be able to exchange one island for two armored ships.

A certain new emperor also reminded the other party that if he did not agree, he would not get the armored ship and the island would not be saved!

Because at this time, the first batch of four Yoshinos had already been launched and entered active service, and the second batch of four Yoshinos had just completed their sea trials.

In addition, the construction of the third batch of eight Laiyuans and 28 Zhiyuans has been completed.

Yoshino and Laiyuandu only have two users, namely Denglai, Tianjin Navy, and the fleet of Zhenhai Gong Zheng Zhilong.

As a flagship product for export, Zhiyuan is also the only ironclad ship sold externally.

In the third batch of Zhiyuan built, the Netherlands used trade volume to buy four ships, France bought three ships, and the Ottomans bought one ship.

In the fourth batch of ships that will be launched this year, the Netherlands purchased four ships and exchanged New Guinea Island for two ships, for a total of six ships. France and the Ottomans ordered the same amount as before.

As a result, when the fourth batch of ironclads comes into service, among the three major overseas customers, the Netherlands and France will each have ten ironclads, and the Ottoman Navy will have two.

The largest fleet is Zheng Zhilong's fleet, which has two Yoshino ships, two Laiyuan ships, and thirty-six Zhiyuan ships. It has already demonstrated the strength of a super maritime hegemon.

In comparison, the Ming Navy included one Zhiyuan and one Yoshino, which were anchored as test ships under the name of the Academy of Sciences, and another one Yoshino and two Laiyuan. There were only five ironclads in total, which was very shabby.

Regarding the allocation of the fourth batch, a certain new emperor had no time to consider naval construction due to his vigorous Northern Expedition, so he could only purchase two Yoshino and two Laiyuan ships.

However, the commanders of the two fleets, who were also the former chief naval officers, promised to increase procurement efforts in the fifth batch and at least double the quantity.

In the opinion of a certain new emperor, as long as he does not fall out with Zheng Zhilong, it is enough for the two fleets to equip ten armored ships each.

Excluding the two test ships, three are currently in service, and orders for another four are about to be realized and launched.

The difference is only thirteen ships. If you work hard, it will only be a matter of one batch.

However, we cannot underestimate the enemy now, we must work hard to eliminate the remnants of the pigtails.

In order to reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Finance, the thirteen ironclad ships can be purchased in two batches.

Seeing that the Dutch navy is catching up, France intends to purchase at least six ironclad ships in the fifth batch, and possibly as many as eight.

This was mainly inspired by a certain new emperor. Due to the huge cost of purchasing ironclads, even France with strong financial resources could not afford it.

Mazarin had previously come up with the idea of ​​transporting German mercenaries, and the results were good.

Later, the number of German mercenaries on the side of a certain new emperor exceeded 200,000, which was enough for the time being.

Mazarin happily accepted the suggestion of a certain new emperor and started a business selling black uncles as miners...

An ironclad ship costs five million taels of silver, and a strong black uncle is worth fifty taels. One hundred thousand people can exchange it for one. For Mazarin, it is definitely a great value.

An armed merchant ship can transport at least 200 people at a time, and 500 ships can transport 100,000 people.

Of course, the number of armed merchant ships participating in each transportation is far less, but it is completely feasible to earn one ironclad ship in a year.

Shipowners were also happy to do this. Although it was not profitable to sail from Africa to the East, they could make a lot of money by loading novel goods from the Ming Empire back to the mainland.

After arriving at the French mainland port, with the trade certificate issued by the Ming Empire, the ship owners can enjoy the corresponding tax reduction treatment.

Although this will reduce some taxes, if you use silver coins to purchase it, it will cost 7.5 million!

In contrast, it is more cost-effective for Mazarin to exchange Uncle Hei for the ironclad ship.

This is equivalent to using very little money to purchase one ironclad ship for the French Navy every year.

Uncle Hei, who disembarked from Tianjin, arrived in Beidu via water transport, and then took a train to the Monan Gold Mine.

Once there, if the mined ore reaches at least four hundred taels of silver, Uncle Hei will have the right to make money for himself.

Excluding the cost of food, clothing, housing, etc., the shareholders of the gold mine can earn at least two hundred taels of silver from each black uncle.

Half a million taels of black uncle is equivalent to 100 million taels of silver. A certain new emperor thought this deal was worth it.

Based on the calculation that each ton of ore contains one gram of gold, the gold extracted from the ore that each person can dig out per month is equivalent to about four taels of silver.

Four hundred taels is one hundred months, which is less than nine years.

If you work quickly, it will be over in six or seven years, and a certain new emperor has also adopted incentives in the mining area.

The miners will be rewarded according to the weight of the ore shipped every month, divided into three parts: one, three, and six.

Those who are in the top ten percent will receive a can of luncheon meat in addition to basic food after settlement.

In the middle part, you can eat a little meat.

Those who fall behind will have to work hard to climb up...

However, everyone can eat half a kilogram of rice in one meal, and the top ten percent can eat as much as they want.

After Nanyang Jinshan is officially mined, a certain new emperor also plans to hire cheap black uncles to work.

Although the braided soldiers are capable, they can at least understand their own orders, and they will be useful in future overseas campaigns.

When a certain new emperor returned in triumph, the civil servants and generals who stayed in the northern capital would naturally line up in front of the city gate to welcome him.

The annihilation of more than 210,000 enemies has set a record for all previous Northern Expeditions and even the entire Ming Dynasty's foreign operations.

Even during the Taizu or Chengzu periods, there was no such glorious achievement.

And the results are not just bragging, there are movie films to prove it, and they can definitely stand up to scrutiny.

The movie "The Battle of Mountains and Rivers" has not yet been released because it is waiting for a certain new emperor to edit it personally, but movie tickets have been sold in advance.

In Beidu alone, more than 10 million copies were sold.

The ticket price was only 200 taels, but now the box office has exceeded 2 million taels!

Many wealthy families, and even small wealthy families, bought dozens or even hundreds of movie tickets.

Not for looking at, just for hoarding!

If the ticket price rises in the future, if you sell it, it will become a stock...

In Xinhuang, refunds do not exist!

Presumably many viewers are also happy to see Huang Taiji and other braid masters appear on the big screen. Besides, such a majestic and large-scale war-themed movie is much better than a comedy.

It is impossible for the Emperor Tai Ji to appear on the scene for free. After a certain new emperor came back, he specially found a bunch of extras with similar looks based on his portrait.

After choosing the anti-hero, a bunch of supporting roles were chosen for him, and the appearance fee reached hundreds of taels of silver.

But after the movie is released, these actors can become famous and get advertising endorsement contracts.

What kind of businessman would let the actor who starred in Huang Taiji endorse his products?

Isn't this a cocoon?

No!

For example, Shit Valve, no one was willing to endorse them before, but now there is someone!

Even the advertising slogans were thought up by a certain new emperor!

I am XXX who plays the role of Huangtai Chicken. Toyota manure is a good helper for crops, because I am only qualified to spray manure!

How about it?

Isn’t it a blockbuster? ? ?
