The city gate tower is very quiet, and it can be said to be silent.

The young Qing emperor stood above the city gate and stared blankly at the red light in the south half of the sky.

The city tower under his feet was once bombarded by red barbarian cannons. This was where Shi Kefa, the governor of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, died for his country.

Not far behind the city wall is Zuowei Street. At the end of the street, there is an alley worth dozens of meters. As soon as the night comes, you can't see your fingers. It's very gloomy and terrifying. There are rumors in the city that there are resentful ghosts in the alley, so no one dares to walk through the alley after the night comes.

A few years ago, Yangzhou Prefecture asked people to hang six lanterns in the alley, but once the lanterns were hung, they would be put out that night. They were not blown out or taken down or smashed, but they were extinguished by themselves. The lanterns were intact from the inside to the outside. Since then, no one dared to hang lanterns in the alley. Even if pedestrians walked into the alley with lanterns, they would be put out for no reason. Not to mention outsiders, even nearby families would not come out until night. It is said that when someone passed by here late at night, they would hear someone crying in the alley, and some people had seen someone looking at them from afar.

In short, the rumors about this alley are scary. This is the forbidden area of ​​Yangzhou City. Fifteen years ago, this was the largest slaughterhouse in Yangzhou City. At that time, the Qing soldiers spread dead bodies layer by layer in the alley, and kept piled up the corpses as high as the roofs on both sides. After piled up the corpses, dozens of Manchu officers climbed up the corpses excitedly, cheered and jumped on them, and sang the singing of their hometown.

After hearing this, Prince Yu Duoduo was very happy to tell the people below that "building corpses and thrones" was the greatest military merit of Manzhou Erlang!

Fifteen years have passed, and the "corpse-laid" has long become the bones of mass graves outside the city, and most of the Manzhou Lang was not in the world. However, the deeds of building corpse-laid heads have been passed down forever (more than 200 years later, the corpse-laid heads evolved into screws and heads, and the residents of this city have forgotten the true meaning of these four words.)

Of course, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty would not run to the alley behind the city wall late at night, nor would he do any rituals for the dead souls, nor would he even hear the four words "cracking corpses and thrones" from his ministers. He only knew that Yangzhou City was conquered by the Qing Dynasty. After conquering this city, the Ming officials in Nanjing were frightened, so they surrendered. The Qing soldiers occupied the most important land of the Han people without a single soldier.

This is obviously a good thing.

The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was still very young, so although the military situation was urgent and the war was not going well, it did not affect his interest in visiting the famous scenic spots of Yangzhou. He took the opportunity to visit Baobao Lake (Shrimp West Lake), Wenchang Pavilion, and Baita, and also saw the mist and rain of the four bridges, the water and clouds were more than 100% of them. The officials in Yangzhou really wanted to offer a few beauties to make the emperor happy, but they searched the city but couldn't find a few sweet ones. This is not their fault, who made everyone in the city kill more than ten years ago. Most of the residents of Yangzhou are not from Yangzhou, so even if the land in Yangzhou is good, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to make Yangzhou produce another beauties.

Fortunately, the officials in Yangzhou did not offer beauty to the Qing emperor, because the young emperor now favored his beloved concubine Dong E. No matter how beautiful other women are, they are far from their beloved concubine Dong E. Even if they are sick now, they are thousands of miles away from him. However, in the young emperor, that woman is always the most beautiful and beautiful. Therefore, if the Yangzhou officials are not good at flattering, they will slap the emperor's horse's hooves, which is not worth the loss.

There was an emperor named Emperor Minghuang of the Han people who said that he loved beauties but not the kingdom. I was not Emperor Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty. I loved the country and the beauties even more. The country and the beauties are like fish and bear's paws. As long as I am the emperor, I can get it.

The loyal and warlike slave Oboi went to preside over the Sanwan Camp, and tens of thousands of troops were all heading south. Even the Mongolian monks from outside the mouth worked hard for the Qing Dynasty. Oboi and Sony and others planned for the master in the imperial camp all night, doing their best, and taking into account all the details. In the end, they came up with a result that made the master very excited, that is, the Qing Dynasty will win in this decisive battle!

Shunzhi did not suspect that the slaves were making him happy because he had invested too much effort in this battle, including money, food, weapons, soldiers, horses and manpower, and everything he could do. In order to support this war, he even agreed that Ebilong would expand the "Chayin" in Shanxi, killing all the loyal chariot slaves who were named imperial merchants and who had made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, just to take out the money from these slaves' pockets that could maintain the operation of the treasury.

At the same time, as the emperor, he turned a blind eye to the disasters that occurred in the counties and counties near Yangzhou. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the lives of the Han people were really not worth mentioning. They were originally slaves of Manzhou, and the meaning of their life was just to serve the cattle and horses to serve Manzhou. Therefore, now they have paid some external things for the Qing Dynasty, even their lives and their wives and daughters, which are nothing. They are pigs and sheep raised in the Qing Dynasty.

Shunzhi believed that Oboi would definitely win. Tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian cavalry and two or three Han army green camps came out together. He could not imagine what the thief scholar had the chance to win. Although the Qing Dynasty lost two consecutive battles in the previous period and lost more than 20,000 troops, most of the deaths were the Han army green camps, and the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were still in full swing. The strength of the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers was still much stronger than that of the Ming army. Even if they couldn't win, they would be a good thing for the Qing Dynasty and a great good thing.

To a certain extent, Shunzhi regarded the thief scholar as Li Zicheng of the past. He believed that the thief scholar with a solid foundation could not withstand a defeat and did not even need to defeat him. As long as he blocked his troops, the people in the world would re-examine whether the Ming Dynasty could really resurface.

After Oboi sent troops back from Sanwan to report, Shunzhi was very excited. He was ready to rub his hands and told Fei Yanggu, the guard beside him that he wanted to go to the front line to cheer up the soldiers and witness how the thief scholar who made him hate him was defeated.

Just as Fei Yanggu was ordered to prepare the emperor to come to the front line, the mature Sony rushed to persuade his master in an urgent manner. Under Sony's persuasion, Shunzhi gave up the idea of ​​going to the front line and sat behind the imperial table and waited anxiously. He hoped that Oboi's good news would come, and how eager he could hear the good news that the thief scholar had surrendered. However, what he got was the news of the fire on the Sanwan Camp.

Sanwan is very close to Yangzhou South City. Standing on the city tower, in the dark night, you can see that the south sky is reflected red without a thousand-mile mirror.

"How could it be?"

Shunzhi murmured, his face becoming ugly. Although there was no definite news yet, the fire in the camp had already explained everything to the Qing generals and officials on the city tower. That is, Oboi was likely to be defeated.

No one dared to speak, everyone stood there quietly.

"How could it happen!"

Suddenly, everyone was so scared that they knelt down because they saw the emperor's fist hitting the city wall.

"master!"

Sony saw blood flowing down his fingers in his right hand, and was so scared that he kowtowed violently. (To be continued.)
