Mrs. Gao is not Li Zicheng¡¯s first wife. Therefore, he is only about thirty years old. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, women in their thirties, under the aesthetic values ??dominated by scholar-bureaucrats, could no longer be regarded as milfs, but rather looked a bit old. (These damn pedophiles and pedophiles are tyrants! They are so violent! The unkind author is beating his chest again. "I am such a shame! Who do you think is a pedophile or a pedophile? You have been criticizing me for so long. Oh, I never said anything to you! Now you are bullying me!" Someone was breaking into the author's house, and the man who had been eating braised pork at the author's house hurriedly stopped him. : "Sir, please calm down, he didn't insinuate you, he was talking about those guys in Donglin!") However, in the eyes of Li Shouhan's wives, Mrs. Gao's risk factor is extremely high. The heroic appearance is even worse than that of Ao Lei Yilan. The level of decisiveness in handling government affairs far surpassed that of Li Muhua Ba Tiaojie who came from a big chieftain family. And the traditional virtues of gentleness, virtuousness and kindness are comparable to Yanmei'er. As for body and appearance, there have been Han folk songs about Mi Zhi's mother-in-law Suide since ancient times, and Mrs. Gao is naturally one of the leaders. What's even more rare is that years of fighting and a lot of exercise have kept her in good shape, which is quite in line with Li Shouhan's aesthetic views. "Sister, this Madam Gao does look a bit like me!" Aolei Yilan spoke frankly, and she could tell at a glance what Madam Gao had in common with her. On the way back, he expressed his opinions to Yanmei'er with a smile. "Hmph! She is somewhat similar to those fairies from Tianzhu and Tianfang in the mansion! Look at her waist, legs and feet. She is very old. How could she be like this?!" In his sedan chair, Li Muhua was no longer there. I know that I have overturned several old vinegar jars in Shanxi. She knew that Li Shouhan was famous for not being picky about food or taboos when it came to women. It's just that you don't hesitate to eat cold or cold food, and you don't hesitate to mix things up. In the mansion, there are already a dazzling array of women, with hair, skin color, eye color, language, food, clothing, religious beliefs, and so on. "No matter what, we can't stop him! If he is willing to take her in, then take her in!" Li Muhua also knew that she was already isolated and marginalized in this mansion. Not only did the background of the Li Dynasty not give her any blessings, but it actually made many people wary of her, covertly and covertly. Especially after Li Huayu's death, the wind direction in the inner house and the front yard have undergone tremendous changes, and Li Huabao's market has been rising all the way. Yanmei'er was originally the master of this inner house. Now, many of the children she raised and the orphans she adopted have reached the age of going out on errands, and their reputation and power have reached their peak. Thinking of this, Li Muhua felt sour in his heart. However, now that Mrs. Gao is here, there is also a huge group behind her. If Li Shouhan brought her into the room, everyone's attention on Li Muhua would be diverted away by Mrs. Gao. And if she satisfies Li Shouhan when he accepts Mrs. Gao into his room, then as a "jealous" wife, her status in Li Shouhan's heart will definitely rise a lot. In this business, she, Li Muhua, can make a profit without losing any money! That¡¯s it! Li Muhua secretly made up his mind. In the front hall, as the leader who led hundreds of thousands of troops and dependents to defect to the Southern Guangdong Army, Mrs. Gao was jointly invited by Yan Meier and other female dependents to come to the mansion to drink tea and talk, but in terms of etiquette, Li Shouhan must meet him. This meeting is actually the highlight of the show. "Madam, you have been working hard all the way from southern Gansu to Guangzhou. The saddle and horse are tired. It's hard work." The conversation started with this kind of meaningless greeting. "Hey! There are thoroughfares along the way, and the prefectures, counties, and towns that we pass have food, firewood, and houses. Every twenty or thirty miles there is a post station on the side of the road where we can rest. In our opinion, that's nothing. It is a paradise-like day that I have never imagined. This time going south is like traveling around the mountains and rivers. " Mrs. Gao's words are not an exaggeration. In her eyes, this trip south was much more relaxed and enjoyable than any previous march. There is no need to worry about whether there will be an obstruction at the pass ahead, there is no need to worry about whether there are ambushes in the mountains and forests, there is no need to worry about whether there are enough boats at the crossings along the river, there is no need to worry about people's three meals a day, there is no need to worry about the drinking water and fodder of the mules and horses. Salt and so on. Just lead your men to supervise the march and take care of your family members who have never traveled far. "Despite this, my wife was able to control hundreds of thousands of people in an orderly manner without any trouble, and her methods were very clever!" Although the road transportation system from southern Jiangxi to Guangdong is a political matter that Li Shouhan is quite proud of. It can allow tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to march hundreds of miles day and night without reaching the so-called end of the crossbow. To; fight for profit for fifty miles, ?If you step on the general, half of his methods will be achieved; if you fight for the advantage for thirty miles, two-thirds of it will be achieved. "However, Mrs. Gao commanded hundreds of thousands of old, weak, women and children, as well as the wounded, sick and disabled people in the army, who came all the way. Although there were soldiers and horses sent by the South Guangdong Army to escort them and coordinate and communicate along the way, but These hundreds of thousands of people have gone all the way without any major troubles. With such a single-handed control ability, Li Shouhan is ashamed of himself. "Compared to the commander-in-chief's beloved son-in-law who calmed down Jiangxi in a chat and laugh, we can survive under his wings." In order to further contribute to the country, this method is nothing more than superficial skills. "Mrs. Gao is also a cheerful person, and she got to the point in a few words. After Shi Lang received Li Shouhan's order, he also received a letter from Li Huamei's family. He knew that the handling of the matter was just to hold it up high and put it down gently. What's more, after the final calculation, I was promoted to one level! At most, among the 20 brigades in the eight towns that were incorporated into the Dashun Army, the chief officers at the town and brigade levels had two more official titles and two more guards. The word "agency" also means temporary agency. But this is nothing. The title given to Li Chenggui by Emperor Taizu at that time was just "the one who is in charge of the state affairs of North Korea". That's a big deal. But it doesn't affect the way the stickmen paint their kings in various ways. Don't they know that there are so many scenes like Dae Jang Geum-ri calling himself the emperor and the hero calling himself me? When North Korea becomes the Korean Empire and the king can call himself the emperor, is it not far away from North Korea's misfortune? So, those Hao Yaoqi who got the position of acting as the commander-in-chief of a certain town in the South Guangdong Army looked at each other one by one. With the new look of his subordinates, they are all very proud and eager to try! After the preliminary reorganization, the Dashun Battalion of the South Guangdong Army is now full of soldiers and horses, and has sent their families to a safe area. They have no worries and are just going to do well. It's time to show off your skills and earn more points in front of the new boss! However, the situation in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River suddenly changed! Gao Yigong and Hao Yaoqi led the siege of Jiujiang. , Tian Jianxiu led troops to the west, and with the help of the artillery team supported by Shi Lang, they captured Changsha in one fell swoop. He was galloping north, heading straight for Wuchang, claiming to capture Wuchang as a gift to the Duke! And Shi Lang himself, under Li Shouhan's order, moved his troops eastward, possibly from the direction of Jingdezhen, Qianshan, and Yushan at any time. Rushed into Zhejiang, gave the Qing army a hard blow from behind, and joined forces with the Southern Guangdong Army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang at the foot of Hangzhou City! Yuan Zongdi, Luo Hu and others, under the unified command of Shi Lang, fought in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and other places. Reorganize the troops and provide support, and be ready to send reinforcements everywhere to expand the results! As a result, Governor Hong's negotiations with Manager Lin in Nanjing will naturally not be able to proceed, and he himself will be arrested. The regent issued three orders a day, summoning him to come to Beijing quickly. Before leaving, he and Lin Kun, the great shopkeeper, said goodbye to each other at the dock outside Nanjing City. , but quite congenial. However, the frontline generals were encouraged by their subordinates to mobilize troops on the spur of the moment. These things are not something you and I can decide. I can't say that in some time, you and I will meet again. Don't let this go! " "What did the old man say? Although the two countries are said to be at odds with each other. However, famous cities were lost one after another in a breath, and hundreds of thousands of troops were lost. It would be difficult for anyone else to accept it! If the boss hadn't come around to help, Lin's head would have been hanging high at the city gate like that of Wu Zixu! " "Eh! Wu Zixu was forced to commit suicide and asked his family to hang his head at the gate of Gusu City in order to see the Vietnamese army enter Gusu City to prove that he was right. Sir, you are not watching our Qing army entering and exiting Nanjing, are you? This time I went back to see Wei Rugong and asked him to pay his regards to Hong. Then he said that the old friends in the capital still cherished their old friendship. If he is willing to stop fighting in the north and south, he will still be the king of the Southern Han Dynasty and can govern the southwest and southeast with the courtesy of the emperor! However, he was asked not to fight the banner of the Zhu Ming Dynasty again. Wouldn't it be better to change the flag of the Li family to its own and stand side by side with our Qing Dynasty in the north and south, and the two countries would be kings and always be a brotherly state? ¡± What Hong Chengchou said was the basic conditions that he and Lin Kun had repeatedly quarreled with each other these days, testing each other out, and finally came up with the basic conditions. The Qing court recognized Li Shouhan as the lord of the south and the emperor, but for the Qing Dynasty According to Ting, you can only be the so-called King of the Southern Han Dynasty. Then the two families will recognize each other's legal status, carry out trade, etc. However, Lin Kun has always insisted on how to divide the boundaries. To live in the southeast, one must defend the Huaihe River, and the Huaihe River must have the concept of the Yellow River. The northern border must be at least on the south bank of the Yellow River. At the same time, the upper reaches of Xiangyang, Wuchang, Chongqing and other places must also be controlled by the South Guangdong Army. " Otherwise, how can our Lord sleep peacefully? Your army can be dispatched in one day and nightThe stream flows down to Jinling. How will my lord fare at that time? " But now, these problems are no longer a problem. Lin Kun pointed to the Qing army troops marching by the river and heading east in a mighty way. There was a chill in his smile: "Sir, I'm just afraid of these. People can¡¯t see how good we are! ¡± These Qing troops heading towards Songjiang Prefecture were dispatched by the newly appointed Pingnan General and Prince Leke Dehun, who were preparing to attack Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County, and drove Li Shouhan¡¯s troops into the sea under the eyes of the Nanjing Qing troops in one fell swoop. At the same time, inside and outside Nanjing, the hair-shaving order that had been implemented when Duduo was in office was stepped up. In addition to regular hair-shaving picks in prosperous streets, there were also soldiers escorting people in deep streets and back alleys and in the countryside. Traveling around to search for those treacherous people who evade the order to shave their heads! Head shavers use two different things to attract customers. In the city, they use a small wooden bang; in the countryside, they use an iron tool shaped like tweezers, which is called "calling the head." "; hold it in your hand and open and close it, making a "choking, choking" sound, which is called "beating the head." The head-shaving pick we saw in museums and old photos is divided into two parts. The front is a The red-painted round cage has a small charcoal stove in the middle and a bucket of water sitting on it. This is the reason for the heat of the shaver. There is a washbasin hanging next to the round cage, which is specially used for washing hair. Strange. What is strange is that there is a flagpole erected with a fighting pattern. The shape of this flagpole is exactly the same as the one erected in front of the Yamen. It is just that the back part is a small red flag about two feet long and one foot wide. The cabinet contains the shaving equipment. This is the seat for the customers, but in the end, it is the seat for the person who is having his hair shaved; the person being shaved is not allowed to sit. It is quite majestic and true that the Qi Ding "shaves his head on orders". Roughly everywhere he went, he called all the men in the village and township with "calling their heads", and the flag men inspected them one by one. Those who had been shaved naturally left without incident; those who had not been shaved were gathered together to "wait for the edict." He is holding a razor in his hand and sitting on a small red cabinet with a big golden knife. The person who is being shaved must kneel in front of him and bow his head to be shaved. If he refuses to be shaved, he will be immediately caught by the accompanying soldiers and executed on the spot, with his head hanging. The heads are hung on the concrete and tiny flagpole in front of the head-shaving burden. This is what is called "keeping the hair but not the head". More importantly, it is distributed and looted in various prefectures. The more gentle methods are more based on which rich family, those wolves and tigers under the Qing army, (forgive the unkind author for these who were the first to practice curves to save the country and preserve our Chinese orthodoxy) The guy found a name that he thought was more appropriate. He would loot the wealthy family, not to mention the food, silver, gold and silver, but also the clothes and furniture in the house. The flowers and trees planted in the courtyard and the bonsai displayed in the courtyard will not be left behind. The old and weak women and maids in the family will be robbed and repaid, and the proceeds will naturally be used as payment. Of course, if you are lucky, you may be favored by the generals. In fact, this kind of thing that makes the "people" resentful and kills the goose is what Hong Chengchou, who is about to go north to report on his duties, does not want to see. The officials and gentry in Jiangnan who were originally dissatisfied with the Li family became full of hatred for the Qing army. Originally, the Li family was just collecting tax money and food. The amount requested is a bit high. But after all, there are rules and regulations to follow according to the ancestral system. Moreover, the Li family gives you silver dollars with one hand and collects Tongbao from you with the other. Over the years, we have been doing business with the Li family and Nanzhong merchants. The money and goods come and go. In total, we still make the profit. many. It is only natural to pay some taxes to the Li family and his son. However, this group of braided soldiers came up and started to rob! And it looked so ugly when he was snatching it! " However, there was nothing Hong Chengchou could do. As the second-largest figure in the Qing army in Jiangnan, he was also aware of the current situation. The situation in Jiangxi collapsed, and all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Jin and King fell apart in just ten months. As expected, Shi Lang was Li Shouhan's son-in-law who could do what others could not do and think what others dare not think of. He took in all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Dashun Army who were considered mortal enemies of the Ming army. As a result, Jiangxi, Huguang and other places that might have been fought over and over again by the Qing Army, Dashun Army, and the Southern Guangdong Army gradually became the territory of the Southern Guangdong Army! Faced with such a situation, Hong Chengchou could not say that Pingnan General Luck Dehun's approach was wrong. After all, to the west, hundreds of thousands of remaining bandits were attacking the city like wolves and tigers under the command of Shi Lang, gradually forming a prairie fire in Huguang. Facing this prairie fire, it is undoubtedly a bad idea to simply drive soldiers and horses to fight with it. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the right choice to raise as much military pay and food as possible in various places in the south of the Yangtze River to stabilize the morale of the military first. Let those Qiu Ba uncles under your command have money in their pockets.?They will have the energy to charge into battle and attack the city in exchange for more money. Otherwise, it's all out of the question. However, looking at the map, the South Guangdong Army once again spread out on the ground in Huguang, and went all the way west and north, threatening the Yangtze River, and all the way west, the troops pointed directly at Xiangxi. If those remnants of the gang collude with each other, I'm afraid it will be even harder to deal with on the front line of the Yangtze River! Therefore, from a military perspective, Luck Dehun implemented the shaving order in Jiangnan, vigorously raised military pay, and temporarily took a defensive position against the Jiangxi soldiers and horses of the South Cantonese Army in the Huguang direction, while the Shanghai County of the South Cantonese Army in Songjiang Prefecture to the east It is undoubtedly correct for the business district to take an offensive stance. You rely on the benefits of the Yangtze River waterway and turn the Yangtze River waterway into a convenient food route for you. Ship the grain, grass, ordnance stored in Shanghai to the west, and then I will destroy your supply base in Shanghai! Let you and I fight on the same level! When the time comes, let¡¯s see who has more soldiers and who is more powerful!
