That night, many families in Hangzhou stayed awake all night. The news of the beheading of the Zuo family and his son quickly spread throughout Hangzhou, and naturally it also quickly reached Liu Rushi's ears.
Liu Rushi sat alone in front of the window, looking at the desolate courtyard outside the window. She sighed quietly and said softly: "Zhejiang has also fallen. Looking at the whole Jiangnan, it is already under his control. Looking at the land of China, it is still under his control." Who is his opponent?"
For Pang Gang, Liu Rushi's feelings are very complicated. Liu Rushi is a very rational but also very paranoid woman. In her heart, the only person she can be loyal to is the former Ming court, although Chongzhen gave up the throne to Pang Gang in the form of abdication. Pang Gang, but in fact anyone with a little sense will understand what is going on.
Liu Rushi, such a smart woman, would naturally understand. However, Liu Rushi had also been in contact with Pang Gang and had a certain understanding of Pang Gang's personality. She knew that he was not a bad person. In addition, Pang Gang was her only good sister, Chen Yuanyuan. She couldn't hate her husband even more when she loved him so much.
Over the past few days, although Liu Rushi tried not to contact Pang Gang and Chen Yuanyuan, the relationship between her and the current concubine Shu had long been spread by interested people. No matter how she tried to hide, it was useless. Yesterday's banquet was the last one. Good proof.
Liu Rushi was also helpless about such a result. There were some things that she couldn't avoid if she wanted to. Now, after learning that Hangzhou fell into the hands of the Chinese army so quickly, Liu Rushi, no matter how loyal he was to the Ming Dynasty, knew that the situation was over and the change of dynasty was inevitable.
"That's all, I'm going to the capital to see how far he can go!"
Liu Rushi stood up and looked out the window at the morning glow of the sky, with a hint of anticipation on his face.
At the same time, in the imperial study room of the Beijing Palace, thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, Pang Gang also looked away from the map on the dragon case, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.
He gently rubbed his face, trying to wake himself up, and said softly: "Hangzhou should have been recovered at this time. If the prediction is good, there will not be any big problems with the recovery of Zhejiang after Hangzhou is recovered. , then we have to consider Fujian. If Fujian is also recovered, several provinces in the southwest will also be recovered one by one, and then the world will be unified again!"
Having said this, a hint of excitement flashed across Pang Gang's face, and his original tired expression was replaced by joy.
At this time, a soft and heavy cloak was gently draped on Pang Gang's shoulders, a pair of soft little hands also gently massaged his shoulders, and a scent of fragrance gently floated into Pang Gang's nose. .
Pang Gang knew who it was without looking. He did not look back, but gently held Jian Yi on his shoulders and said softly: "Ruolan, why did you get up so early? It's just dawn."
Kong Ruolan's voice came from behind, "Your Majesty stayed up all night last night, how could your concubines sleep? I said, there are so many civil and military ministers in the court, isn't there anyone who can share your worries with your Majesty? Why?" Are you still busy all night long?"
Listening to the dissatisfied voice in Kong Ruolan's voice, Pang Gang laughed, "Ruolan, since I have registered as the emperor, I naturally have to set the example of the emperor. There are some things that ministers cannot replace."
Seeing the unhappy look on Kong Ruolan's face, Pang Gang quickly added, "Of course, I will be busier during this period. As long as I am busy after this period, I will have more time." I¡¯m here to stay with you sisters.¡±
"Humph" Kong Ruolan snorted softly in her nose, Yubi hugged Pang Gang's thick neck and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, you haven't been with us sisters for quite some time."
"Um!"
Pang Gang turned his face around and saw Kong Ruolan's beautiful face that had turned red. He felt that the delicate body in his arms had become hot. How could he not know what Kong Ruolan was thinking after being married to Kong Ruolan for several years? He haha He laughed and said: "Well, I won't go to court today anyway, so I will spend time with you sisters. I haven't talked to you for a while, so let's go."
After saying that, Pang Gang put a little force on his arms, picked up Kong Ruolan, and strode towards the door. However, when he walked out of the door, there was a faint sound of exclamation and jealousy.
When Pang Gang returned to the palace, he, Kong Ruolan, Wei Wanting and several other daughters-in-law played around with each other for a long time before finally falling asleep and not waking up until the afternoon.
When Pang Gang got up, it was already approaching evening. Just as Pang Gang was dressing up and getting ready for dinner, served by several wives, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace, followed by a sharp voice. sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, we are sending an urgent shipment of 800 miles from Liaodong!"
"Bring it in quickly!"
Pang Gang's impatient voice rang out. At this time, apart from the affairs in Jiangnan, he was worried about the war in Liaodong. No one in the world today is more aware of the harm that the Manchus, a nation that started as nomads, was doing to the Central Plains at this time.
In another time and space, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, during their more than two hundred years of rule, through literary inquisition time and time again, the only trace of bloody spirit of the Chinese nation was completely worn away, and in the following days, the His face was disgraced to the whole world.
When Pang Gang took the battle report handed over by the eunuch and read it at a glance, he couldn't help laughing loudly and said: "Great, I want to record a great contribution to Gou Sheng! I also want to commend all the soldiers in the army! Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji , let¡¯s see how you die this time!¡±
Speaking of the happy part, Pang Gang couldn't help laughing.
As if she thought Pang Gang's voice was too noisy, Wei Manting, who was sitting on the dressing table nearby and dressing up, couldn't help turning her head and giving him a sideways look, laughing and scolding: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to change your words, you are all acting like an emperor." You are a man, and you call him the dignified commander-in-chief, so you are not afraid of others laughing at you for not having the majesty of an emperor."
Pang Gang shook his head indifferently: "Man Ting, what you said is wrong. I called him his nickname because I looked down on him. How about you look at the many civil and military people in the dynasty, why don't I call them His nickname?"
There is indeed some truth to Pang Gang's words. Now, Da Zhuang and Gou Sheng have become the chief officers guarding one side, but Pang Gang calls them by their nicknames every time he sees them. Not only are they not ashamed, but They are all very proud and feel very proud.
"The current emperor calls you by your nickname because he is looking down on you. If the emperor calls their names in a polite manner every time they meet, I'm afraid they will have random thoughts in their minds.
Of course, this situation also depends on who is shouting. If any cat or dog calls Huang Chunsheng and Wang Zhi after meeting them, they will definitely explode.
In this letter sent by Wang Zhi, he reported to Pang Gang in detail the situation of the battle in Liaodong. In this battle, the Qing army that suffered heavy losses was defeated and fled. Huang Taiji's old illness broke out, and the entire The person fell into a coma.
With no leader, the Qing army had no choice but to listen to the words of Daishan and Dorgon, abandoned the camp and fled towards Shengjing.
In this battle, the Chinese army led by Wang Zhi annihilated the main force of nearly 50,000 Qing soldiers at the cost of more than 12,000 casualties. The remaining 50,000 remaining Qing soldiers had to flee back to Shengjing in embarrassment. , tightly closed the four doors and could not get out. Amin, who was left by Huang Taiji in front of Shengjing to restrain Li Yan, and the 20,000 Mongolian Eight Banners troops he led were also wiped out by Li Yan. Amin himself became a dead soul under the gun. Now Li Yan is leading Wang Zhi and Liaodong and other communists. Eighty thousand soldiers have surrounded Shengjing, and will soon launch an attack on the city.
Seeing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to be wiped out, Pang Gang felt very happy. As long as he assessed Liaodong and recovered Jiangnan, no place in the country could stop his troops. Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places believed that as long as they There won't be much resistance once the army arrives, and Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan is like a rabbit that can't grow its tail.
Not to mention Pang Gang, who was in a good mood after receiving the news, Sheng Jing was in a state of sadness at this time.
Their emperor, Huang Taiji, was lying unconscious in bed. Although there were still 70,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which seemed to be a lot at first glance, and was not much different from the number of the Chinese army outside the city, the morale of the two sides was vastly different. The difference.
"One of them came with high morale after being victorious, and the other was a newly defeated division with low morale. If the Manchus had not occupied the convenient location, they would have been defeated by the Chinese army in one go.
In a certain room in the Shengjing Palace, this was a room of about fifty square meters. At this moment, the room was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Huang Taiji, with a sallow face, was lying motionless on a soft couch. Several palace maids dressed up nearby.
Huang Taiji's beloved concubine Da Yu'er was sitting next to the bed at the moment, looking at her husband on the bed with a sad face. Da Yuer is naturally intelligent, but at this time she does not yet have the sophistication she would develop after entering the harem and experiencing a series of struggles for power in later generations.
At this moment, she was just a carefree little woman who was loved by her husband. Faced with this sudden bad news, she really didn't know what to do.
She felt that she had shed more tears in these days than she had ever shed in her life. Looking at her dying husband, she could only helplessly watch her husband slowly die. This feeling was really terrible.
At this time, a palace maid quietly walked up to her and said softly: "Your Majesty, Prince Rui is here and is waiting in the small hall right now!"
"Oh, tell Prince Rui that I will be there immediately."
Da Yuer first carefully covered Huang Taiji with a quilt, and then quickly wiped it off.? Tears, then stood up and turned around to walk out. The moment he turned around, the sadness on her face had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a calm and determined look.
