In Hukou County, Jiujiang Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, Aisin Gioro Nikan, dressed in military uniform, is observing the Ming army camp on the other side of the lake.

Unlike most Manchus, Nikan was born with white skin, tender and tender skin, and looked like a doll from a Han family. Therefore, his grandfather Nurhaci named Nikan (Han).

He was 42 years old this year and fought for 27 years. He couldn't do it without war. When he was five years old, his father Guangluobeile Chu Ying was executed by his grandfather Nurhaci. Without his own father's protection, he could only make more military achievements in order to survive among the Eight Banners nobles. Therefore, he went to the battle at the age of fifteen or sixteen. In order to make meritorious contributions and to prove that he was not Nikan, he killed countless Nikans.

Now, his status is extremely valuable. He is ranked as the three kings of governing the government, along with Prince Xun Mandahai and Prince Duan Chong Boluo.

After Dorgon's death, Emperor Shunzhi originally wanted Prince Zheng Jirgalang to manage the government, but Jirgalang was very traitor. When he saw Emperor Shunzhi digging out Dorgon's body from his tomb, he knew that the little emperor was a cruel man. He did not dare to be greedy for power anymore. He wrote a memorial to Emperor Shunzhi that he was old and weak and could not manage the government, so he was named "Prince Shuheshuo Zheng". It was very wise. In another time and space, after the three kings of governing the government had all passed away, Emperor Shunzhi settled the old accounts and said that the three monarchs were affiliated with Dorgon. Mandahai and Boluo were stripped of their title and deprived of their posthumous title. Nikan, because of his death in battle, barely retained his title.

"Reported to General Dingyuan, Tunqibeile, and Zhakarnabezi, he led 20,000 reinforcements to arrive."

"Please invite them to my big tent!"

"Yeah!"

Dorobetunqi (i.e., Tunqi), and Bezizakana also had a surname of Aisin Gioro, but they were the grandsons of Nurhaci's younger brother Shurhaci, and they belonged to the branch of Aisin Gioro's family. Their status was completely incomparable to Nikan.

"Please pay tribute to Prince Jingjin!"

"Oh, Tunqibele, Zakarabezi has come from afar, thank you for your hard work!"

Tunqi suddenly took out a painting and handed it to Nikan, "This is what the emperor asked me to bring to Prince Jingjin."

Nikan opened the painting and saw that it was a mighty general who looked a little similar to himself. He led the Eight Banners brigades to chase the Ming army and fled everywhere.

I couldn't help but laugh. The emperor is still a young man! I like to play with this unique tone. He is twenty-eight years older than Emperor Shunzhi, so he naturally disagrees with the little emperor's "nonsense".

After looking again, there was a poem written on the painting.

"Wishing General Dingyuan to Triumph"

General Dingyuan's real man,

A million powerful soldiers swallowed Wu.

Fighting the blood of the Eight Banners in the River,

The land of the south has entered the territory of thousands of miles.

When Nikan looked at these lines of poems, his mood suddenly became heavy. The emperor was not anxious. But you really can’t be anxious about fighting. If you are anxious, you can easily make mistakes!

"What else did the emperor say?"

"The Emperor said that he hopes that Prince Jingjin will make great achievements as soon as possible, and then he will hold a banquet for you in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

"I know, the whole army will rest for several days and attack the Ming Dynasty immediately."

Jiujiang Prefecture governs Dehua, deputy general of Zhenshuo, and Gao Bi, the Marquis of Ying State, were thinking about his thoughts.

The position of Deputy General of Zhenshuo was originally from Duke Xingguo Li Chixin. Unfortunately, the New Year was not over. A year ago, Li Chixin passed away. Zhu Hengjia ordered Li Chixin's adopted son Li Laiheng to inherit the title of Marquis of Xingguo, and he also appointed himself as Deputy General of Zhenshuo and stationed in the strategic location of Jiujiang.

According to information, the Qing army on the east bank of Poyang Lake is constantly increasing, and it has now increased to 160,000. Although the Ming army on the west bank of Poyang Lake also has 110,000, it is scattered in Jiujiang Prefecture, Nankang Prefecture, and Nanchang Prefecture. Among them, its subordinates have 50,000 troops to guard Jiujiang and Nankang. General Li Mingzhong, Zhenshuo, had 60,000 troops to guard Nanchang.

He repeatedly asked Li Mingzhong to concentrate all the guards from other prefectures in Jiangxi near Poyang Lake and increase the strength of the defenders, but was rejected. General Li felt that the guards from each prefecture were not regular soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was not very useful, and there was a natural danger in Poyang Lake as a barrier. Although the number of people was tens of thousands less than that of the Qing army, there was still no problem in defending Jiujiang.

He also submitted a memorial to the supervisor, requesting to transfer the Yangtze River Navy into Poyang Lake for reinforcements, but was also rejected. Abatai, the commander of the Qing army in Huangzhou Prefecture of Huguang, and Shang Kexi from Xiangyang Prefecture, were also ready to move during this period, and cooperated with Nikan to capture Wuchang. The Yangtze River Navy could not be transferred, so he had to stay in Huguang and confront the Qing Yangtze River Navy.

However, the state has expressed its support for me and asked me to persevere for another three months. In three months, His Highness will personally conquer Jiangxi.

After three months, Gao Bizheng felt that he could still hold on. After all, his subordinates were all elite soldiers, many of them were veterans of the Dashun Army, and some were old subordinates of Li Chengdong, so he was still very capable of fighting.

"Master, the governor has sent you an immortal han (the letter from the emperor)".

"oh?"

Gao Bizheng opened it and saw that he didn't know if Zhu Hengjia and Emperor Shunzhi had a close relationship. There was also a small poem inside, but there was no painting.

"Si Yu Zhongsu Duke"

What about Lin'an's mountains and rivers?

Hu Ge was covered with grass in the river.

The eternal heroes are here,

Dare to teach Wanyan to waste his time.

On the surface, Zhu Hengjia wrote about the famous Southern Song general Yu Yunwen who defeated Wanyan Liang at Caishiji. In fact, he compared Gao Bizheng to Yu Yunwen, which moved Gao Bizheng very much.

There is nothing to say, only fight to the death to repay His Highness's grace.

??

The origin of a general and a minister is worried and troubled.

The Conquest of Man and the Conquest of the Festival is back to the altar.

I still remember the old plots of the past,

Sighing and heart-breaking.

This poem "Songshan Ai" is a poem by Wu Weiye to satirize the great traitor Hong Chengchou.

At this moment, this great traitor was at the climax of his life. He was named Jiangnan (Nanzhili) by Emperor Shunzhi, the governor of five provinces in Zhejiang, Fujian, Huguang and Jiangxi. Huang Taiji only regarded him as an advisor, and Dorgon used him to guard against him. Only Emperor Shunzhi gave him the opportunity to display his talents. Although it was a little late, he was already fifty-eight years old.

The old horse was in a stable state and his official heart was full of heart. For the sake of this high official and generous salary, Hong Jingluo came to Nikan's military camp.

When Nikan saw that Hong Jingluo came, he was extremely angry. The older generation of Manchu nobles knew that this was a wise man among the Han people. In order to surrender him, Emperor Taizong tried his best.

"How did General Hong teach me?"

Manchus are straight-hearted and don't just ask directly.

"Where is General Dingyuan planning to cross Poyang Lake?"

"Nature is crossing the lake from Nanhuzui."

Nanhuzui is located at the outlet from Poyang Lake to the Yangtze River. The waterway is extremely narrow and is a strategic location. At that time, 800,000 soldiers from both sides of Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang fought to the decisive battle here.

Hong Chengchou nodded, "General Dingyuan is worthy of being a Manchu general and is familiar with military books. Although Nanhuzui Mountain is dangerous, it is not high. The waterway here is narrow and easy to cross. You can control the water outlet even if you get it. It is indeed the most suitable place. But??"

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Nikan hurriedly asked, "What's it?"

"But what you can think of is that the Ming army also wants it. There are heavy troops stationed in Nanhuzui, but it may not be able to attack."

"Where is Hong Jinglei who thinks it is more appropriate to cross the lake?"

"The waterways there are also narrow, and you can cross them in a moment."

Nikan thought for a while and said, "Survey according to Hong Jing's rules, I led my army to cross the lake from Xingzi City."

"No," Hong Chengchou smiled, "It's better to 'built the plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly'. On the surface, it still attacked Nanhuzui and secretly sent an elite soldier to cross Xingzi City. In this way, it's easy to cross the lake!"

"Oh, Hong Jinglei is a talented person! No wonder the late emperor always praises you!"

Hong Chengchou had such a good idea, Nikan was overjoyed and insisted on keeping him for dinner, but he couldn't refuse.

During the meal, a plate of tofu was served.

Hong Chengchou was secretly annoyed that he never ate tofu and felt uncomfortable when he saw it.

There is a story among them. When he was young, he also had lofty ideals. Once, the teacher of the same clan, Hong Qiyin, came up with a pair: "White tofu, white tofu, white, pure and knowledgeable, Li Bai," which made him blurt out: "Black inkstone, black inkstone, black inkstone, black inkstone, black inkstone." Hong Qiyin was overjoyed and praised him for "a family of thousands of miles and a country with thousands of jinxes". Knowing that Hong Chengchou's family was poor, he went to find Hong Chengchou's mother, advised her to send her children to school, and promised not to charge tuition.

Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou did not treat it as a good horse, but became a traitor. He was afraid of eating tofu, so he remembered the teacher when he saw it.

"Hong Jingluo, why don't you eat it? Come on, come on, come on, taste this tender tofu, freshly ground," said Dr.

Nikan smiled and picked up a piece of tofu for Hong Chengchou.
