In the old imperial city, the sun shines brightly and pedestrians on the streets are getting hotter. Even in the middle of winter, it cannot stop the merchants.

"General!"

Faced with this proud shout, Hou Xuanyan frowned and said coldly, and after a long time, he said: "This game doesn't count. The road was too bumpy just now, which interrupted my thoughts. I had a wonderful game of chess, but I forgot it."

Zheng Zunqian smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to say much. The wine in the car is the only one who is the one who is in charge."

Hou Xuanyan's shoulders had a secret disease, especially when he was in a cold place, he had to rely on strong wine to drive away the cold. When he came, Miao'er prepared a lot of good wine for him. After opening the lid, the fragrance was full of fragrance, which was deeply in line with Zheng Zunqian's taste. Along the way, everyone's level was similar. A pair of stinky chess baskets killed half a pound.

This is how you play chess. You have to meet someone who is similar to your level to experience various fun.

Qin He said outside: "Prince, Peking has arrived."

Hou Xuanyan lifted the curtain and looked out, and said happily: "It's finally here. The road is too bumpy. It was okay when he was fighting in the world. After being at ease for a long time, this bone could not withstand such tossing."

"The prince allocated huge sums of money to work for relief. The roads built in the north have been hundreds of times better than before. I believe they will be smoother in the future." Zheng Zunqian exclaimed sincerely. It is true that only Hou Xuanyan has the courage to use work for relief to return all the countless gold and silver stored in the treasury to the people.

Hou Xuanyan came out of the carriage and stood in the carriage and looked forward. He saw a large number of soldiers gathered in front of him, waiting at the tall and solemn city gate.

At this time, although the entire city was in Beiping City, except for some restaurants far and near, as well as the residences of the ministers and generals in the distance, all the houses were almost two meters high. Looking at it, the magnificent building in the afterglow of sunlight in the distance was naturally the old imperial city.

At that time, it was the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It was known that the emperor guarded the country's gates and established the capital here for more than two hundred years. Emperor Yongle's courage is still awe-inspiring.

Yan Yingyuan came so far, Hou Xuanyan simply got off the carriage and returned to the city side by side. Li Haoxian and Zheng Zunqian were all walking by.

"Prince, everything is ready in Peking now. You can just wait for spring to come to Shanhaiguan." Yan Yingyuan was very energetic. At this time, the national hatred and family hatred had almost been avenged, and there was no longer the depression and depression that the world was about to perish. People were born to be frowning.

Li Haoxian interrupted, "We have to wait for Lord Du Yinxi to lead the troops to come so that we can conquer Liao."

"There's no need." Hou Xuan said: "There is not very open in front of Shanhaiguan. There are so many of us enough. Du Yinxi can be used as a reserve team. It takes so long to play in Liao, and if you can't come up, you can open your trump card. It is still necessary to leave a strong reserve team."

Yan Yingyuan himself had been in the reserve team for four years. When he heard this, he was afraid that the "beautiful" of the reserve team would fall on him again, so he quickly agreed: "The prince is right. General Tu is very serious and is responsible for this task."

The other two also savored it and expressed their approval. Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "Since everyone is convinced, let him go to the rear of the palace. After the Spring Festival, we will go to the world's first level!"

In the city of Peking, Hou Xuanyan's temporary residence had been prepared, and it was the big mansion that last time he came to Peking.

The personal soldiers in the house immediately became busy. Hou Xuanyan watched the information sent by Yan Yingyuan in the study. At this time, footsteps sounded outside.

Hong Yizhuo pushed the door and looked happy after seeing Hou Xuanyan: "Brother, I expect you to go to the city today, it's really good."

Hou Xuanyan looked up and saw that Hong Yizhuo was still dressed in an inappropriate manner with a Taoist robe, but his young face was now a little calmer. Hou Xuanyan raised his lips and said with a smile: "You are dealing with Shanxi merchants in Shanxi. I heard that you are digging very deeply, why did you come to Peking so soon?"

"Hey, those Shanxi merchants really have nothing to investigate. Almost all engage in collaboration with the enemy. Moreover, their money is either to buy real estate or buried underground. It is simply too easy to investigate and search for houses. Half a month ago, our Qianxiang Camp had no investigation and came here to meet our elder brother." Hong Yizhuo said with a smile.

Hou Xuanyan lowered his voice and asked, "You have been in Datong for so long. If you only investigate Shanxi merchants, you will be degenerate."

"Brother, don't worry, we have also investigated the news about Mobei to the north, but it is very difficult to get into spies there. I set up a branch of Qianxiang Camp in Jingbei, recruited many Mongolians and Rakshasa people, and were training."

This is the first time Hou Xuanyan heard the word Rakshasa. He remembered that this was the Tsarist Russian troops. This season was the period of Tsarist Russia's crazy expansion. Hou Xuanyan's plan was about to fight them sooner or later, so he couldn't help but be careful and instructed: "You did a good job, the more information goes north, the more important it is. Now the domestic situation is as solid as the rock, but you can put it aside. Just keep an eye on this area, and I will be of great use in the future."

Hong Yizhuo sat on the chair, and a personal soldier came in to deliver a cup of tea. Hong Yizhuo said with a smile: "Brother has been living in Peking for the time being, and there is not even a person to serve him. You can select a few 'Datong Woman' from Shanxi to come and respect his elder brother."

Hou Xuanyan laughed and scolded: "I am a hero who is not a woman in my life. I only like to play with guns and sticks. Only then can I develop the body that can run horses on my arms and stand on my fists. With this kind of body, I can clear the world, drive out the Tartars, and restore the Han throne. You guys are so cruel, I will only say one thing to you, and I will not be an example for this time."

"I've been talking for a long time and I still want it. My brother never has a good word." Hong Yizhuo rarely meets Hou Xuanyan. They have long been in the same mood since the bamboo forest. As for Hou Xuanyan's good-looking nature, it would be strange if he didn't give him a few.

No wonder this is true. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, when it comes to the popularity of beauties, the "wife" in Datong is the first to recommend Datong. "Wuzazu" says: "The nine sides are like Datong, and it is prosperous and prosperous, and it will not go to the south of the Yangtze River. The beauty of women and the elegance of things are all in the border villages. The market has been in a long time, but it has not been through war. The proverb says "Jizhen City Wall", "Yifu Teaching Field", and "Datong Witch" are the three glories."

In addition, we can only line up the thin horses in Yangzhou. For example, Concubine Tian, ​​who was favored by Chongzhen, was born as a "slim horse".

Speaking of Datong women, they all have a unique skill called "Double and Hydraulic House". When the madams in the brothels were young, they chose a water tank for them according to their body shape, and let them sit on the water tank for a long time until their balance and muscles were fully developed. This is called a double-honey. Therefore, they are famous for their breasts and buttocks, tight and smooth, and their beds are more attractive.

Someone once used three couplets to describe the three realms of Datong’s wife:

The third class is "Birds sleep in trees by the forest, monks knock on the door under the moon", and "There is a different world";

The second level is "there is no way out when the mountains and rivers are at the end of the road, and there is another village when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright", and the horizontal sign "is gradually getting better";

The best one is "The clouds are heartless and come out of the mountains, and the birds are tired and fly, and they know that they are not allowed to fly", and the horizontal banner "The Deep in the Pure Land"...

The elegance and elegance are nothing more than this, and it is fascinating.

Whether it is "Dragons and Phoenixes" or "Su Sanqi Jie", they are all dramas written with Datong Woman as the protagonist, which shows the yearning for these beauties with unique skills at that time.

After laughing, Hou Xuanyan knew his brother very well and asked, "Yizhuo, you came from Datong so far away, didn't you give a woman to your elder brother?"

Hong Yizhuo took a sip of water and smiled sideways, "I can't hide it from my elder brother. Our people have been in Jingbei for so long and have discovered something. After the eldest brother established Jingbei Province, we have bordered the Junggar, and this khanate should not be underestimated. Their leader Baturhuntaiji has won the title of Erdenibaturhuntaiji. He inherited his father's rule over Junggar, and together with Ezirtu Khan of the Hoshuote tribe, he became the leader of the Churgan alliance. This guy defeated the Rakshasa people and the Kazakh Khan many times, and the domestic calls for south invasion are very high, especially dissatisfied with our occupation of the southern desert grassland."

When Hou Xuanyan heard this, his heart was shocked. Junggar should not be underestimated. At that time, Kang Mazi was so scared that he even compromised the Rakshasa people who hit his hometown in Northeast China, just to prevent Junggar Khanate.

Now the empire has made enemies everywhere, and it’s okay to go south, but the navy in its hands is invincible. But when it reaches the north, it is the world of cavalry. Otherwise, even if it can be won, it will not be able to catch up with others. Not long after Jingbei was established, there was no powerful cavalry force at all, and he still did not have an advantage in fighting for power in the grassland.

"You should spy on the information first. At this stage, my primary enemy is still the Manchu Jiannu. After conquering Liao, we will discuss dealing with matters on the grassland." Hou Xuanyan could only say this. Hong Yizhuo sighed and understood his current situation.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely understand the grassland. In the future, I will take action, so that I can know myself and your enemy."

Hou Xuan raised his eyebrows and said emotionally: "Good brother."

When the two brothers were secretly talking about the general trend of the northern monastery, a personal soldier outside clasped his fists and said, "Prince, Yixingbo sent someone to get the wine, saying that the prince lost to him."

Hou Xuanyan stood up and said, "I'm just hungry. Take my jar of good wine with me and let's go to his place for a meal."

He brought Hong Yizhuo to the streets of Beiping. Under Yan Yingyuan's governance, this place seemed like a military town, with soldiers patrolling the enemy everywhere.

During the Liao Dynasty, Peking, as a bridgehead, may usher in another huge opportunity. Especially after Hou Xuanyan's policy of transporting grain to assist the war, people from all over the world will definitely come. At that time, the declining north after the war will also usher in a chance to rise again.

Just like the Korean War and Vietnam War in later generations, these two wars of the United States brought Japan up.

The demand brought by the war is too great, especially this conquest of Liao, which is already determined to be a national war, and it will probably not only take off by the way, a city in Peking.

When he arrived at Zheng Zunqian's residence, Yan Yingyuan, Li Haoxian and others had already gathered here. Li Haoxian smiled and said, "What am I saying? If you send someone to invite the prince, he may not be able to appreciate it. If you go to ask for wine, the prince will definitely come and have a free meal."

Zheng Zunqian supported the show and said, "It is still the Duke of Qi who knows the prince the best."

Hou Xuanyan cursed: "Li Haoxian, everyone can drink this jar of wine today, but you can't. You pour wine for us to entertain and watch us drink it."

"Isn't that going to take the life of the price? No matter how delicious other people's wine is, I won't be greedy. Only the prince's wine can get what I want if I have a drop of the price." Li Haoxian bent down and smiled.

Hou Xuanyan took the wine from his personal soldiers, sat up, and said, "You can drink today. After the New Year, all the generals and officers of the three armies will be banned from drinking. Soldiers can drink less and drive away the cold. We must command thousands of troops and be clear at all times. If we get drunk and miss a big deal, I will have to deal with it by military law."

"Everyone listens to the prince."

"This time, I have to look at the head of the old thief Shang Kexi on Shanhaiguan!"

----

Outside Shanhaiguan, Shang Kexi was also ready to face the enemy. The Qing Dynasty gave them enough support this time. Whether it was Songjin or Shanhaiguan, Liaodong soldiers were in high spirits.

The Liao people ruled Liao, which was the ending they most longed for, and has now been realized. The people here actually had a very weak relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and it was not their fault.

Since Emperor Xuanzong abolished the Nurgandu Secretariat, the Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong was in name only. At that time, Shandong Chengxuan announced that the Political Envoy Department included the Liaodong Peninsula, with the northernmost boundary of the power being Tieling and Kaiyuan. Further north, it was no longer a place where the Ming forces could protect it.

By 1616, when Nurhaci established the Later Jin Dynasty and began a war with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's strongholds in the Liaodong region, including Shenyang, Liaoyang, Tieling, Fushun, etc., were lost. By the Wanli period, only the western Liaoning Corridor was left.

In this environment, the Liao people only fought for themselves. They could ignore the all-round army that came to support and eliminated the rescue, because the only thing they had to protect was their own interests.

Moreover, the Liao army was not composed of only Han people, which were filled with a large number of Jurchens, Mongolians, Koreans and other tribes.

The long-term mixed living life has made them develop a rough, generous and tough personality, and has also changed their values. The distinction between Chinese and foreigners has become indifferent in the hearts of the Han people in Liaodong.

In the past, the Qing Dynasty was strong, and the Ming Dynasty declined, and Shanhaiguan was the barrier for the Ming Dynasty to resist the Jiannu. Now, the Ming Dynasty was strong, and the Jiannu Manchu was exhausted, and Shanhaiguan became the barrier for the Jiannu to resist the Han people. After all, the Liao people did not like to be completely conquered by the strong side, and they longed for independence.

Whether it is Wu Sangui or Kong Youde, they are all representatives of the gentry in Liaodong. For the benefit of the Liao people, they now want to block Hou Xuanyan outside Shanhaiguan.

Shang Kexi was arranged in Shanhaiguan, which was the greatest affirmation of him. Shang Kexi's ability was beyond doubt, and everyone placed their hopes on him.

Looking at the white snow under the gate, Shang Kexi was worried. When the snow melted, the place would be bloody.

There is no war that will catch up with this tragic tragedy. After the desperate battle, the fate of the Liao people will be frozen.

Thinking of the names that lingered in the hearts of all Qing soldiers over the past four years, Shang Kexi clenched his fists.
