The black clouds are squeezing the city and are about to destroy it.

The Qing army besieged Datong City for more than ten days, outside Datong City, the camps were like clouds.

On the evening of that day, after withdrawing the troops, Dorgon summoned the generals to discuss matters. After the military discussion was dispersed, Niyaha and Yue Le walked side by side.

Yue Le is not named "Yue". His full name is "Aisin Gioro Yue Le". He is the grandson of Nurhaci and the fourth son of Abatai.

"Tang Jie is indeed quite capable. If you want to conquer Datong, you will probably take another half a month."

"I have advised King Rui long ago that when his food and grass are exhausted, Datong will be taken without a fight, but now it has become a tough battle."

Yue Le said: "The army went out of Feihu Pass and seized Yanmen Pass to block Tang Jie's retreat and prevented him from defending in depth. The overall situation has been achieved. As for whether to destroy Tang Jie to fight a tough battle or slow down, it is not important to King Rui."

Niyaha nodded and said, "I always feel that King Rui is too concerned about the king's smile. If you attack the city like this, you will die a lot."

"Yes, the generals always said, 'It's nothing to let the Han army die, it's nothing to plunder the people of Shanxi to replenish food', but if I want to gain a foothold in the Qing Dynasty, I must treat the Han people with preferential treatment."

Outside the camp, a crying sound came from afar...

Yue Le stood and listened for a while, and sighed.

Niyaha keenly realized that Yue Le wanted to talk about more than just war, and raised his hand to lead Yue Le into his tent.

After the two entered the account, Niyaha asked, "What does Master Beile want to say?"

Yue Le smiled bitterly and said, "Now that the war has begun, the rear should be stable. I want to persuade King Rui to stop occupying houses and enclosing land in Jingji. Are you willing to write a letter with me?"

Niyaha hesitated for a moment and said, "Your letter was rejected by King Rui the last time. Now you are fighting outside, but you are talking about the internal affairs of the capital. I am afraid that King Rui will blame you."

"It is when fighting outside, and those flattering slaves are not by King Rui's side. We may be able to persuade King Rui."

"I can't persuade you." Niyaha shook her head.

He said as he waved his guard back, looked out of the tent, took off his armor and sat down, put on a robe with wide sleeves, and his behavior was quite elegant.

"We are similar in age, Baylor is still less than thirty?"

“Twenty and eight.”

Niyaha said: "Belle, you are good at poetry and painting, and your writing skills are not inferior to those of the great Han scholars. Looking at King Rui again, he is still in his thirties, but his style of conduct is like an older generation, as if he was living in the past... Emperor Taizu killed a man without a grain."

The man was not so particular, Yue Le nodded after hearing this and said, "Yes."

Niyaha said again: "If Master Fan had not advised him hard, King Rui would not have been so kind to the Han people now. If he had the heart and demeanor, he would be far inferior to the previous emperor, so why should he persuade him again?"

"The situation is different." Yue Le said: "The Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, with few Manchus and many Han people. If they are not at peace with the people, how can they continue?"

"How could King Rui not understand the truth? But he couldn't do it. He was proud of Manchu customs from the bottom of his heart and despised those Han people."

Yue Le said: "I understand what you said, but you see the situation today. Northern Chu has won the hearts of the people and its strength is increasing day by day. My Qing Dynasty also had many good policies and should have waited for the world to return. But at this moment, King Rui even imposed harsh policies, occupied houses and enclosed land, and detained Han people to invest! Now he attacked Datong, and robbed the people's food everywhere, allowing the soldiers to burn, kill, rob and abduct. How could he have the style of a royal army?"

Niyahaha silently for a moment and slowly said, "The truth is understood by King Rui."

Yue Le said: "What I'm afraid of is that he understands it, but he still does it."

Niyaha and Yue Le looked at each other.

Yue Le asked slowly, "So... after conquering Datong, King Rui will definitely massacre the city to erase this matter, right?"

"I do think so, too."

"Then you don't want to write a book with me?"

Niyaha was silent for a while. He thought for a long time and suddenly said something off topic.

"Belle is all-round and talented in civil and military affairs. Your Majesty has always wanted to get close to Mr. Beile."

Yue Le was stunned.

Niyaha looked into his eyes and said, "If it is not decided today, Your Majesty is young and old, so everything depends on King Rui. However, King Rui is often sick and poor, and who will decide the military and national affairs of the Qing Dynasty in the future?"

With a sentence of "many illnesses and less blessings", Yue Le took a deep breath and fully understood Niyaha's position...

He suddenly remembered that Yehenara Niyaha in front of him was the nephew of Empress Xiaoci Gao, the closest relative of the late emperor, and must also support His Majesty's bloodline. How could he be the King Rui?

The late emperor worked his whole life, committed to abolishing the Eight Kings' discussions on politics and gathering imperial power. Now, although the late emperor has collapsed, his legacy is far beyond his imagination.

This Qing Dynasty seemed to be surrendering to King Rui, but how many people were about to move in the undercurrent?

What are they waiting for?

Wait until King Rui pacifies the world, then... cunning to avoid death, and the lackeys cook?

...

Seeing that Yue Le didn't speak, Niyaha said again: "After conquering Datong and killing Tang Jie, King Rui is in charge of the country and will not go south personally. In my opinion, you should be named your third brother Boluo as the head coach.

Speaking of which, the sons of Prince Rao Yu are all outstanding. Boluo has made many great contributions and has finally been rewarded by King Rui. This is a good thing.

But what we appreciate more is that you, Beller, are the most outstanding clan of the Qing Dynasty today. You have been famous for your own affairs and martial arts, and have made great contributions, but are not valued. Your Majesty wishes to be the king of you immediately."

Niyaha did not say who ‘we’ are, but combined with his previous sentence, the meaning was obviously more clear.

——When the world is pacified, Dorgon can be killed. Please represent the royal family as the prince to decide on military and national affairs.

Yue Le's mind trembled.

He understood that His Majesty could not say these words in person, it was nothing more than arranged by the people behind him.

Even so, he felt that Jun’s kindness was deep, and tears poured into his eyes, making his eyes sore.

He did not reply to Niyaha immediately, just understand these things in his heart.

"Thank you for your kindness..."

The two of them calmed down their emotions, and the topic returned to the people's livelihood war.

Nyaha said: "The last time Mr. Belle wrote a letter, and his Majesty was deeply touched, and he praised you for being innocent and innocent, but... the time has not come, so let's be patient first.

King Rui was tyrannical, but this was a war. At that time, Qin State was overwhelming. If he wanted to destroy the war and live in the people, he should be pacified after the world was pacified, and then we would be managed by the backwards, so that the Qing Dynasty would be permanently established."

Yue Le said: "I am afraid that King Rui will not be able to rule like this day when the world is destroyed."

Niyaha said: "A while ago, Grand Secretary Fan wrote a letter saying, 'Governing the world is to win the hearts of the people'. Do you think he is trying to persuade King Rui to stop occupying houses and enclosing land? The latter sentence is a true insight, saying, 'Scholars are the people'. If the scholars are the people's experience, the people's experience will be the people'. Therefore, Grand Secretary Fan talks about the imperial examination this year... You see Wang Xiao, you will only win over the hearts of the people, but we can get the hearts of the people. Which one is higher and lower, you can tell at a glance."

"I've been taught." Yue Le nodded, agreeing deeply.

"So, we have a sense of proportion, and King Rui also has a sense of proportion. As long as the 'showing people' return, those little people who have promoted to the top will go with them for the time being."

Yue Le sighed: "I just hope that the world will be calmed down as soon as possible."

Niyaha said: "Today I talk about these with Bell, which is also a reminder... King Rui has issued an order and ordered us to drive away the Han people to attack the city in the next two days. After the city is broken, Datong will definitely be slaughtered, so as not to spread the news and the reputation of the Qing Dynasty will be damaged. Don't anger him at that time..."

~~

At this time, more than 30,000 refugees were driven together outside the Qing army camp.

Most of these people were driven from four prefectures and seven counties in Datong, crowded in the wilderness, and cried loudly...

Su Jian and Shi Mengnong were squatting among the crowd.

They were walking in the mountains and fields and were captured by the Qing soldiers.

They had a lot of lice, and they felt very painful when they bite people. In addition, they rush to the open and rush to the open, their stomachs were hungry, and the wounds bitten by wild animals began to ulcerate...

All these things were like this, and the two of them felt that they were living too hard.

The northwest is dry, with strong wind and sand, and the climate is really bad compared to that of Jiangnan. Shi Mengnong has been living until now and feels sick all over. If this continues, he will not be able to survive for a few days.

In the past, he felt that he was the pillar of the country. When he was in Hancheng, he was guarding his side and made decisions for the country when he was in Nanjing. Now he found that those talents could be used because he was a "scholar" and his seat was high enough.

Put yourself and the common people on this yellow land to dig food. In terms of survival skills, you are far inferior to them.

A full of poetry and writing strategies cannot make people live...

Shi Mengnong opened his cracked mouth and murmured: "Fortunately, Tang Jie did not retreat south and was ambushed by Dorgon. I have no regrets of death."

Su Jian was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his words were weak.

"We have done nothing yet... we can't die."

"Yu Congrong said it well. I don't need to remind Tang Jie...but I don't regret it."

Su Jian said: "Don't mention the villain named Yu... Mr. Shi thought that Jianlu was trying to do what he wanted to kidnap so many of us?"

Shi Mengnong sighed: "I'm afraid I want to drive away the people to attack the city."

"Damn it." Su Jian murmured: "We have to find a way to stop this."

As he spoke, an old man next to him reached out and caught a flea from Su Jian's head, threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

Su Jian turned his head and took a look.

If it were before, he would probably feel disgusted, but now he feels so hungry.

The old man was dirty and spoken, and Su Jian had been listening for a long time to understand the dialect.

"You ask me how I raised such a big flea? What did I bring from the mountains? Are you not afraid of beasts? I have a companion who can hunt entourage..."

At this point, Su Jian felt it was a little boring and was too lazy to chat with the old man.

Save some effort and find a way to find a serious solution.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and saw a symbol engraved on a wooden stake over there.
