Chapter 402: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Sorrow


"His Majesty" Tongtang's eyes turned slightly, as if a pool of spring water could flow out.

"I think He Yuan sounds better."

Zhu Cihong was delighted when he heard this.

"As expected of my queen, she has exactly the same idea as me, and I also prefer the name Heyuan."

He immediately made a decision and said: "Since this is the case, the emperor's name will be He Yuan.

Zhu He Yuan, Zhu He Yuan, haha."

Like all new fathers, Zhu Cixiang is now in a state of sweet happiness.

"You will take good care of yourself these days.

Don't be too tired.

Do you understand?"

Zhu Cixiang touched Tongtang's loose hair with tenderness and said softly.

"Well, I all obey your Majesty."

Tongtang truly deserves to be a virtuous empress, and she will take whatever Zhu Cixiong says.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to stay with me all the time.

Go and deal with government affairs."

"No, I will stay here with you today and pamper you."

Zhu Cixi hugged Tongtang into his arms and spoke word by word.

Shaanxi, Xi'an.

Azig was furious when he learned that Sichuan was defeated.

Of the tens of thousands of troops, only a few remnants of the army escaped.

It was really tragic.

Neither Bo Luo nor Hong Chengchou came back.

When did the Qing army become so vulnerable?

According to the remnant soldiers who escaped back, the main force of the Qing army was defeated by the Ming army, and then was strangled by the remaining Western army.

It was a tragedy.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was actually higher than that of the Qing army.

As far as Azig knows, the Ming army in eastern Sichuan is basically the remnants of the reorganized former Shun army.

The Qing army and the Shun army have fought countless battles, and they know that they are powerful, but the Qing army is obviously superior.

Otherwise, how could Azig and Duduo capture Shaanxi, pursue and beat Li Zicheng, and force him to death on Jiugong Mountain?

But now it seems that the defeated warrior actually wants to be reborn.

This has to be said to be very strange.

Moreover, according to reports from the soldiers who escaped, Li Dingguo, the commander-in-chief of the Western Army, killed most of the Qing generals and only let Hong Chengchou go.

However, Hong Chengchou did not return to Shaanxi.

Could it be that he chose to defect again?

Azig doesn’t think it’s impossible.

First of all, Hong Chengchou's character is not high and he has a dark history in this regard.

Secondly, if he didn't choose to defect, why didn't Li Dingguo kill him?

Is there an indescribable relationship between him and Li Dingguo?

Of course this is impossible.

Therefore, Azige believed that it was more likely that Hong Chengchou would be recruited by Li Dingguo.

As for him surrendering to the Ming army, Azig thought it was almost impossible.

With what Hong Chengchou did, it would be great if he didn't get cut into pieces by a thousand swords now.

Hateful, hateful.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible to make up for it.

At least so far, no news has been sent back that Hong Chengchou surrendered to Li Dingguo.

This shows that Li Dingguo does not want to deal with the matter in a high-profile and public manner.

Then Azige can suppress the matter for the time being and even announce that Hong Chengchou has returned to Shaanxi.

At the same time, he will send a memorial to the capital, reporting Dorgon on a series of things that happened in Sichuan.

It would be impossible to suppress such a tragic defeat.

The only way is to take advantage of the situation and put the responsibility on Hong Chengchou.

I believe that after the Eight Banners disciples in the capital learned of the tragic defeat, they would turn their anger on Hong Chengchou.

Why did everyone die but Hong Chengchou didn't?

It would be best if their attention was directed to unanimously demand the execution of Hong Chengchou.

Anyway, Azig had no one at hand, so he just took any prisoner on death row and executed him.

When the time came, he reported to Dorgon that Hong Chengchou had been executed by him on the spot.

Presumably Dorgon would not blame Azig for this trivial matter.

Azig was different from Dorgon in that he did not like to use Han people like Hong Chengchou.

Including Fan Wencheng, who had been highly valued in the Huang Taiji Dynasty, Azige despised them from the bottom of his heart.

After all, the Han people are still Han people, not noble Manchu warriors.

Don’t the Han people themselves have a saying: People who are not of my race must have different minds.

The Han people can only reuse them but not reuse them.

If they are entrusted with important responsibilities, there is no guarantee that they will not do something surprising.

Just like Hong Chengchou.

Thinking of this, Azige still felt itchy with hatred.

He recruited his staff and immediately wrote a memorial to Dorgon.

Nowadays, Shaanxi's military strength is generally sufficient, but it is a bit stretched if it wants to use troops on a large scale externally.

After all, Shaanxi also needs to send troops to guard it.

It is impossible to imitate Zhuge Liang's empty city strategy.

Hong Chengchou really ruined the Qing Dynasty's entire plan for Sichuan and Huguang.

After writing the memorial, Azig decided to go horse racing outside Xi'an to relax his mood.

He immediately recruited a group of soldiers and rode away.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, come and take a look.

Anyone who grows this kind of food called potatoes can be exempted from paying taxes for three years."

In Taoyuan Village, Chengdu, a county official was trying hard to explain the notice posted at the head of the village.

"Potatoes are drought and cold-resistant and do not require too much land.

They can be grown even in scattered mountain fields.

The most important thing is that they have a high yield per acre.

If you plant two or three acres, the whole family will have enough to eat and drink in a year."

County officials salivated and talked about it with gusto.

All the villagers in Taoyuan Village looked at him blankly, as if they were a fool.

After a long time, an old man finally couldn't help but asked: "Master Chao, if it's like what you said, why didn't people in the past grow potatoes?"

The county official took a deep breath and explained: "This fellow countryman asked well.

Potatoes have only been promoted recently.

It was Shengtianzi who first discovered it and advocated trial planting in Shandong.

After great success, it was promoted nationwide.

Yes.

Isn’t it true that just after Chengdu was recovered, the governor followed his holy will to promote potato planting around Chengdu?

Folks, you just can’t trust the governor, can’t you still trust His Majesty the Emperor?”

The so-called pulling a tiger's skin to make a banner, this county official knows this very well.

He moved out of today's world, which immediately made his words much more convincing.

All the villagers were whispering to each other.

The emperor is not an ordinary person.

God is the greatest, he is the second.

He has the final say in everything in the world.

It is said that the hoes used by the emperor to hoe the ground are all made of gold.

Gee, that’s really enviable.

There should be no truth to what he said.

Besides, there is no point in him lying to everyone.

That's three years of tax.

If it can be exempted, it can save a lot of money and food.

Gradually, some people began to be interested.

First, three or two people came forward to respond, followed by seven or eight, then more than a dozen.

In the end, more than half of the villagers in Taoyuan Village expressed their willingness to try planting potatoes.

“Potatoes are so good, where do they get them?”

"Don't worry, everyone, the county government will allocate it to everyone, no one will be left behind."

The county official was very happy and said with joy
