    In the middle of the village, the broad threshing floor is not only a place for harvesting and threshing during the busy farming season, but also a gathering place for people to gather during their leisure time.  () More than two hundred villagers gathered around the threshing floor fearfully. Beside them, hundreds of soldiers holding firecrackers, the sharp three-sided thorns pointed high at the sky, shone with a chilling light.  These soldiers are even taller and taller, each one as strong as an ox. Compared with the skinny young men in the village, there is no doubt that one of them can fight at least ten!  "Folks, you have fallen into the hands of the Tatars in the past few years, and you have all suffered! Now that the An Dynasty has come, you are not far from a good life. His Highness the King of Liao has implemented new policies in recent years, equalizing land, encouraging industry and commerce,  From now on, you will all have enough to eat, and your children will be able to go to school!" Li Laiheng said excitedly, but the people below looked blank and were not moved at all.  Li Laiheng scratched his head. It seemed that he no longer had the talent to inspire people.  "I won't talk nonsense. Before you can live a good life, you have to go through a hurdle. The Tatars will go south at any time. We will move you all to Handan now and protect you. All food and materials will be taken away and the houses will be burned down.  The wells will be filled up, and the bridges and roads will not be spared. Do you understand?" An old farmer's mouth twitched and he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it.  As soon as Li Laiheng waved his hand, the soldiers immediately followed the farmers, rushed to the house, moved the things out, and prepared to burn them down. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is nothing of value in the houses, the most is food, and there are cattle, horses and livestock, so it is not troublesome to transport them.  In the blink of an eye, half of the families had moved out.  But I waited until I reached a house on the east side of the village.  But there was a little trouble.  An old woman was holding a jar in her hand, her son was holding a torch, and his wife was carrying her two children.  Standing closely behind them, tears fell from his eyes.  "This is the old lady's home. Even if she dies, the old lady won't move away. If you have the ability to come in, the old lady will burn the house down!" As he spoke, he lifted the jar and threw it heavily to the ground.  Oil flowed all over the floor.  Seeing her like this, the soldiers did not dare to take action, so they could only ask someone to inform Li Laiheng.  At this time, Li Laiheng was looking for the oldest farmer in the village.  A stack of bills was delivered to his hand.  "Master, what is this?" "Old sir, I just forgot one thing. This time we are carrying out a mission to clear the country. We will have to abandon our homes, and the crops in the fields that have not had time to be harvested will also be burned.  The common people have suffered too much, and we have to compensate them!" When the old farmer heard the word "compensation," his eyes widened. He couldn't believe it was true. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Master, we are willing, we are willing."  As long as people are safe, what else can we ask for these days?" The old farmer tilted his head, his eyes red.  Tears rolled down his face. He said exactly what he was thinking. Over the years, the army has come and gone, and suffered one disaster after another. How can there be any room for reasoning in the world!  "Old sir, to be honest, I was originally a bandit, and I know what you are thinking. But let me tell you, you are wrong. An army is different from the previous army. This is a rule personally formulated by His Highness the King of Liao.  " Li Laiheng picked up a military coupon and said to the old farmer: "See, there is an amount on it, a military seal, and a serial number. I got the Henan bank ticket number and cashed it when I saw it.  There is no difference in the price! A house will be compensated at 10 taels, and an acre of land will be paid at 3 taels per load. The old farmer's eyes widened and he asked in horror: "Master, are you serious about this?"  "That's natural. An'an will never let the common people suffer when doing things!" "Thank you, military master. On behalf of all the folks, the old man kowtows to you!" The old farmer hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. He had seen the Ming Dynasty.  His army had encountered rogue bandits and was ruled by Tatars. He thought he had seen everything and understood everything, but he never expected that there were actually troops who could think for them!  Getting up from the ground, the old farmer¡¯s hand holding the military coupons was trembling, and his veins were popping.  "Master Jun, this old man is going to tell the villagers to hand out the military coupons!" "Master Qi, it's not good, Granny Hong is going to burn down the house. Go and have a look!" When the old farmer heard this, he immediately became angry.  He said: "You really have long hair and short knowledge, old man, get over here!" Although he was old, Master Qi was not slow at all. He arrived at the scene of the incident and saw a group of people around the yard. He immediately separated the crowd and walked away  Got in.  At this time, Grandma Hong was holding her son and daughter-in-law in her arms, crying bitterly and cursing the sky and the earth.  "God damn An**, why don't you come with a thunderbolt and kill you all! Tatars"If you don¡¯t rob my house, why are you more cruel than the Tatars? Are you all human beings!  " "Niece-in-law of the Hong family, what are you talking about?  " When Grandma Hong heard this voice, she hurriedly raised her head and saw the angry Master Qi. "Master Qi, when did you end up being a dog for others after you have lived so long?  Are you trying to persuade us to renovate our house? Don¡¯t even think about it!  I am going to die here for everyone to see!  " Master Qi was so angry at these words that his face turned red. " The old man has been upright and upright in his life and has never done anything unconscionable.  Niece-in-law of the Hong family, you don¡¯t have to seek life and death. They want to fortify the walls and clear the country. Everything will be burned. You want to do it in advance to save trouble!  " When Mrs. Hong heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears: "Old man Hong, even if you die and become a ghost, I won't let you go!  What benefits did those An** give you? The folks are watching, this old guy probably sold us all!  " The people around were also whispering. To be honest, although they had temporarily obeyed the order, who would be willing to give up their home casually? Everyone focused on Master Qi. "Humph, it's unreasonable!  "Master Qi said, holding up the military coupons in his hands. "Everyone, take a look, this is An's gift to us. A house will cost ten taels of silver, and an acre of land will cost three taels of silver. When the war is over,  .  Let us come back to farm, what else do you want?  " When these people heard this, their eyes suddenly widened. Are their shabby houses worth ten taels of silver? More than half of them have never seen ten taels of silver in their lives! Many villagers knelt on the spot  He fell to the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, Master Jun, for your kindness. We are grateful!"  " Mr. Qi knew the situation of each family and quickly distributed all the military coupons. The villagers beamed with joy, and everyone happily collected them. At the end, only the Hong family was left. " Mr. Qi sneered, and a few  He walked up to Mrs. Hong who changed her face and said, "Niece-in-law.  The money is here, you want money or you want to live and die, it's up to you!  " Mrs. Hong looked at the military coupons. Then she looked at her home. Suddenly she snatched it away. " It should be mine, no one can take it away!  " Mrs. Hong clutched the military coupons, her eyes moved back and forth, and she gradually showed a vigilant look. "What is this? It's not a bank note, nor money, it's just a piece of white paper, just to defraud my house.  If I don¡¯t do it, I won¡¯t agree!  " As Mrs. Hong pulled her son, she was about to run back to the yard. At this time, Li Laiheng sneered: "Stop!  " "We are the army, this is the front line, we are performing military affairs, and anyone who does not cooperate can be shot to death at any time. I advise you not to regard An**'s loving people as easy to bully, and stop in moderation!  " Li Laiheng said, pouted, and his men brought twenty-five pieces of silver and sent it to Mrs. Hong. When Mrs. Hong saw the silver, her eyes widened and she grabbed it in her hand, for fear of flying away. "Everyone, listen,  The interest on this military coupon is calculated on a daily basis. If it is marked with thirty taels, you may get thirty-five taels during settlement.  " Mrs. Hong opened her mouth and bit the ingot. In her daze, she actually bit her finger, and blood flowed down. "Ah, Master Jun, give me that note, I don't want any more money!  " Li Laiheng ignored her at all and turned around to leave. Master Qi sneered: "Niece-in-law, I told you not to be clever, but you just don't believe it. You know how hard you have endured!  " The common people holding military coupons are very happy. A piece of paper is not only light and convenient, but also earns interest. It is much better than bulky silver. " An**'s neat military appearance and strict discipline make the common people  Full of confidence, Master Qi and the others quickly helped Li Laiheng to transport grain away from the surrounding villages, fill up the wells, and burn all the houses. In the end, even the wheat in the fields that had not been purchased was burned, covering the sky.  The sun was blocked by the fire and the smoke was thick. In less than two days, the entire area of ??20 miles around Handan was turned into a piece of scorched earth. Li Dingguo was very satisfied. If he could just rely on his military strength, he might be able to do it.  However, most of the people will be dissatisfied and even resist. However, relying on their interests, these villagers took the initiative to stand with An'an. In addition to the old and weak women and children moving to the rear, the remaining young people also took the initiative to help.  An* defends the city. They all know that if An* is defeated, their military coupons may not be redeemable. This is the so-called connection of interests! Compared with morality, this is more reliable, and An*  *Use these two days to strengthen the Handan city wall, accumulate defensive equipment, and prepare to fight the Tatars!sp; ¡­ ¡°It¡¯s so amazing!¡± Dorgon, who was standing on the slope, looked forward with his clairvoyance. As far as he could see, there was a scorched black sky, and smoke was still coming out in some places. When he saw this, Dorgon also  I couldn't help but grit my teeth.  "Sure enough, An** is a group of ruthless desperadoes. They burned fields and villages like this, and they have to do so many killings. They can do this to the Han people. It is really amazing!" Dorgon obviously would not have thought of An**.  If you can afford to bear the losses of the people, you should only use coercive measures.  Fan Wencheng on the side is much older. He could have stayed in the capital, but Fan Wencheng knew in his heart that this was probably the last decisive battle. If he lost again, the Qing Dynasty would have nothing, so he had to come.  "Prince Regent, as the saying goes, he who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world. Although the strong walls and clearing of the country will cause us a lot of trouble, it will definitely affect the people and hurt the people's hearts. I, the Qing Dynasty, will be obedient to the people and will definitely win in one fell swoop!" Dorgon Weiwei  He sneered, his mustache raised.  "I have been invincible since I was a teenager when I led the army. How could I be defeated by a young boy like Gu Zhenhua!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Speaking of young boys, this Gu Zhenhua really deserves this title. I don't know if he is.  He is out of his mind and still thinks he has a chance to win. He actually created the Zhongzhou Forum and said it was a contemporary Jixia Academy. Isn¡¯t this a sign of ignorance!¡± Dorgon raised his eyebrows: ¡°What is this forum for?¡±  After letting the old and new factions debate, the old minister has deployed people to report back the discussion. "What eight words!" "It's nonsense."  Grave!" Boom, boom, boom!  While they were talking, there was an earth-shattering sound of cannons in the distance, which caused the earth and rocks in the Handan city wall to crack and bricks to fly everywhere.  A proud smile appeared on Dorgon's face: "Hahaha, our artillery of the Qing Dynasty is also extremely sharp. Gu Zhenhua, just wait for the conferment!" Shuosai and Li Shutai were supervising the battle at the front. In order to make meritorious deeds, Li Shutai,  He even rushed to the front desperately.  The battle in Handan finally began, but Dorgon's mind at this time could not be devoted to Handan.  Fan Wencheng just sent over the content of the Zhongzhou Forum, and Dorgon became more and more confused as he read it.  "Abolish the king and father, limit the imperial power, govern the cabinet, oversee the government, and retire regularly" "Gu Zhenhua, what are you thinking, don't you want to be a good leader? I don't believe it, I don't believe it, a real man  The sun has no power, you are deceiving God!" (To be continued)
