In a blink of an eye, half a year passed in a flash, and November came. Beijing's order had basically settled down and various departments began to operate in an orderly manner. Compared with half a year ago, various state-owned enterprises broke through the ground like bamboo shoots of bamboo shoots, and there were many large and small state-owned farms in the suburbs of Beijing.

Unlike the south, Beijing's local grain production is extremely low. Even if it grows grain, it is not enough to eat. It still has to transport grain from major grain-producing areas such as Jiangnan and Jianghuai, because except for individual plots with particularly fertile land, most of them are mainly planting cash crops or mixed grains.

Such as corn, potatoes, peanuts, sweet potatoes, fruits and vegetables, mulberry fields, etc.

Although the weather is already very cold, the fields are still busy.

Many poor people cherish the opportunity to enter state-owned farms. In the past, they relied on odd jobs in Beijing to spend their days or do some unethical things like stealing. They were hungry and full, but now they can at least get enough food and clothing.

Luo Yangxing and Wu Mengming did not dare to have bad intentions. They seized this opportunity and severely rectified the public security in Beijing. Countless gangs and criminal forces were destroyed. For the minions, they were usually educated and released after a few months of labor reform. For the backbone, those who were extremely guilty were held a public trial meeting and shot on the spot after the meeting. Generally, they were sentenced to be sentenced to dig and repair the reservoir first, and they were exiled to North America with Chongzhen in the future.

This move was learned by Li Xin and the British. Without criminals exiled from the British, there would be no Five Eyes Alliance today. Li Xin also wanted to copy a Five Eyes Alliance.

The people of Beijing truly felt the changes since Li Xin came to power. Not only did their lives gradually improve, but public security also had a fundamental reversal. The older girls and young wives no longer worry about walking at night.

Another important change is that the water quality gradually improves.

In the past, high-ranking officials and nobles took mountain spring water from Yuquan Mountain to drink, while ordinary people could only drink flavorful groundwater or river and lake water. Li Xin organized labor reform prisoners to repair reservoirs and conserve water sources, so that ordinary people could also drink clearer water.

At the same time, as cement and promotion and application and Beijing is gradually expanding to the outer city, the construction and building materials industries have begun to emerge, and job opportunities are increasing.

Today, Beijing is showing a prosperous scene, and the thousand-year-old ancient city has regained its vitality.

Chongzhen was also imprisoned for half a year. In the past six months, Li Xin has not isolated the internal and external news. The Ming Pao issued daily will send a few copies to the palace. His intention to restore the country gradually faded. He realized that Li Xin was indeed better than him, and fewer and fewer people miss him. If he wanted to restore the country, he had to go to North America and start from scratch.

Li Xin once said that helping him with personnel training resulted in the misfortune of the royal relatives, including the father and son of Fu Wang who were sent to the palace not long ago, and the kings captured by Zhang Nai in Shandong. These people need to study agriculture, forestry, handicrafts, textiles, and ordnance maintenance and manufacturing.

The name of the subject is not bad, but the problem is that they are all practical classes and no theoretical classes, that is, they are sent to a farm or factory to be an apprentice, go out early and come back late every day, only give them food, no salary, and are extremely miserable.

This is also a punishment for the royal relatives, who will enjoy happiness in the first half of their lives and eat dirt in the second half of their lives.

On this day, Li Xin was teasing her two children, one hand, and she laughed constantly by him. This was the child born by Hong Niang and Zhou Han. Zhou Han gave birth to a girl, who was a little older, named Li Peiyin, and the boy born by Hong Niang and named Li Peizong.

Although Li Xin, the dead ghost who was taken over by Li Xin, was a wealthy family in Qi County and had his own family tree and seniority ranking, Li Xin directly ignored it. He was the first ancestor of the Li family. He set the class rankings, namely Peizhong Yiduan Shucheng Shijing, with a tentative eight characters, which will be subsequently determined by future generations.

About a month ago, Hongniang and Zhou Han came to Beijing with their children and Caiyi Caishang.

Gao Guiying's belly was already very big, Kou Baimen was pregnant, and his lower abdomen was slightly raised. The two girls watched Li Xin play with their two children, and their eyes showed a look of yearning.

"Commander-in-Chief, Mr. Zhang is here and is waiting in the outer room."

At this time, a female soldier called out.

"Come on, hold the child."

Li Xin returned the children to Hongniang and Zhou Han, and hurried to the outer hall with Liu Rushi.

"Have you met the commander-in-chief!"

Zhang Nai bowed his fists and bowed.

"You're here just right!"

Li Xin nodded and said, "The decisive battle between Dorgon and Li Chuang has reached a critical moment. I plan to hand over Beijing's defense to you. I personally lead my troops out of Juyongguan and cut off Dorgon's way back."

Zhang Nai showed nervousness and couldn't ask.

Li Zicheng once took his Huimei, and he betrayed Li Zicheng for this, but it does not mean that he wants Li Zicheng to die. After all, he is an orphan adopted by Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng has the grace of educating him. Under Li Zicheng's training, he Zhang Nai can lay a deep foundation. Step by step to this day, there is only a difference between him and Li Zicheng's title of adoptive father and son.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Nai treated Li Zicheng as his father in his heart.

Li Xin understood Zhang Nai's anxious attitude and waved his hand with a smile and said, "Don't worry for the time being, although the Qing army is strong, Li Zicheng is not a soft persimmon, let alone the entire Guanzhong is supported.

At first, Dorgon attacked Datong by surprise. Fortunately, Li Zicheng reacted quickly enough and led his army to Taiyuan. Although he suffered a defeat at the city of Taiyuan, Dorgon was not able to capture Taiyuan. The two sides have been in stalemate for nearly four months.

Seeing that the cold winter is approaching, the supply of the Qing army will be affected. This is the best time for our army to seize Chahar and cut off Dorgon's retreat. I will let you be the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng, guard Beijing for me, and Gu Yanwu will help with military affairs."

"Get orders!"

Zhang Nai bowed his fists, but his momentum was not too strong.

Li Xin smiled slightly: "Wait until I come back, you go and regain Henan!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

Only then did Zhang Nai feel energetic and clasped his fists to thank him.

He also wants to lead the army out to fight!

After explaining some precautions to Zhang Nai, Li Xin called Chen Yongfu and asked him to lead his army to Tianjin immediately, take a boat to sea, and attack Juehua Island.

...

Taiyuan has always had the reputation of controlling mountains and rivers, lying on the shoulders and backs of the world, and controlling the key points of the four blocks. In the Ming Dynasty, because King Jin was granted the title of Taiyuan, the scale of Taiyuan City expanded widely, and became the leader of the nine borders.

Li Zicheng was in Taiyuan Jin Palace with thick eyebrows furrowed.

He did not expect that after Dorgon retreated from the city of Beijing, he would come to attack Shanxi without leading his troops back to Shenyang. The defenders who remained in Datong were caught off guard and were defeated in just three days. After that, the Qing army conquered Shuozhou and Xizhou. Li Zicheng was shocked when he learned the news and did not even bother to return to Xi'an to ascend the throne. He immediately led his troops into Jin, and at least he stepped into Taiyuan City first and refused to fight the Qing army under the city. The next step was a long tug-of-war.

Dorgon seemed to be crazy, and he continued to attack, with both sides suffering from casualties.

At first, Li Zicheng didn't understand, but after many inquiries, he finally understood why Dorgon tried his best to attack Shanxi.

Because if Dorgon retreated to Shenyang, Li Xin would definitely go north to Chahar, support Ezhe as the Chahar Khan, blocking the Qing army's passage from the Western Union and the Central Association to the south, and coming from Shanhaiguan, it would lose the effect of the surprise attack. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Qing Dynasty lost Chahar, it would only be trapped in Liaodong, gradually changing internally and collapsed.

This is a dead end. If you want to break this situation, the Qing army must go south to rob. For the time being, Li Xin is not easy to chew, so Dorgon started to have the idea of ​​Shanxi and Shaanxi. After all, although the grassland of Chahar is lush, it is just a grassland. When there is no natural disaster, it is no problem to raise Mongolians. When encountering natural disasters, the Mongolians themselves cannot support them, not to mention the millions of people in the Qing Dynasty far away in Liaodong.

The Qing Dynasty seemed powerful, but it was fat. After the capture of Beijing, it had no way out and could only open up a passage to the south.

Li Zicheng understood, but he was even more annoyed. Dorgon could not beat Li Xin and took over my territory. Isn’t it better than Li Xin in Dorgon’s mind? He picked up the persimmon and pinched it!

Although Li Zicheng often had the feeling of being Yu and He Shengliang in his heart, he never admitted that Li Xin was stronger than himself. He believed that Li Xin was good at taking advantage of opportunities and rushed to Huaiyang from the beginning, while he fought against the elite court in Henan in a miserable manner.

You should know that the Huaiyang area has not been in war for a century, so how can the local soldiers have any combat effectiveness?

He even felt that Li Xin took advantage of him. If he hadn't delayed the main force in the court, Li Xin would have had the chance to gain a foothold in Huaiyang? This is also something that he could never be clear about.

He felt that he had made a wedding dress for Li Xin.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Beijing."
