. Jie opened his mouth wide in shock. Although he had been idle for many years, he had been in the center after he had not taken the deputy chief of staff. How could he not know the meaning of a battalion? With a battalion, it means that the temporary battalion that had just formed had become the eternal battalion. Although he did not dare to regard this army as his own private army, his subordinates could have such a way out, which made him sincerely excited.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness

"Your dear, please don't give me a gift." Wang Fu personally helped Gao Jie up and promised a lot of rewards. Everyone survived the rewards equivalent to hundreds of silver coins. The honor was a big-sized bronze medal with no money. As for getting a higher level of honor, you have to count the military achievements before making a decision. The reward for the dead family is even more generous. In addition to the material reward, each person gets a third-level silver medal with the family who can be granted twenty acres of fertile land. With this one, you can also avoid a lot of corvee labor.

After the reward, the emperor ordered all the soldiers to go down and rest. All the soldiers fell asleep in excitement and received news that Gao Jie successfully burned the Qing army's food and grass. The other Ming troops were also motivated. Although they could not celebrate in the rain, it did not prevent everyone from having a happy and vocal talk in the camp.

Compared with the Ming army's joy, the Qing army camp seemed to be shrouded in a haze. After Nikan led a 10,000 troops back to the barracks in a mess, the news of military rations being robbed quickly spread throughout the army. Although there was no shortage of food in the army, all the soldiers were still worried, especially the Han army's green camp soldiers. They originally had only four steamed buns every day, but now they have to worry about these four steamed buns, so how can the morale of the troops be stable?

The emperor's father, the regent, was standing in the middle and did not dare to get up. Not far from him were there, a row of wooden stakes were erected. The wooden stakes were dozens of distorted heads, which were all owned by the Qing generals Ai Xing'a and Tadigoshha who transported food and grass this time.

After losing the food and grass, Ai Xing A lost his soul, like a walking corpse, was silly and foolishly led to Tianjin by Goshha. After learning that the food was robbed, Dorgon was always angry that he could not say, and did not allow Ai Xing A to distinguish it. He immediately ordered Ai Xing A to be executed with his Goshha. Ai Xing Ai's Goshha had thought he had escaped, but he died in a bad life.

Nikan returned to the Tianjin camp because of the Ming army. As soon as he came back, he heard that Ai Xing was killed by Dorgon. Nikan suddenly felt that his eyes were dark. Although his status was higher than Ai Xing, the main responsibility for losing food and grass was more than Ai Xing's. It was just that Nikan knew Dorgon's heart. After putting down his troops, he hurried to the dean of Dorgon and could not get up. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, Nikan happened to be with the heads of Ai Xing'er and others./

After kneeling for more than half a day, Dorgon seemed to know that Nikan was kneeling in the yard. Even the generals coming and going seemed to be missing Nikan. It was about to be night, and Dor] still had no intention of summoning Nikan to ask questions, Nikan had to continue gritting his teeth and kneeling.

Several lanterns were hung up, and the shaking light shone on the heads of those people. The heads of Ai Xinga and Gosh Adi were soaked in the rain for a day, and their faces were pale, and their eyes, like dead fish, seemed to be staring at people. Even though Nikan had been living and dying many times, and had seen countless dead people, he still felt his scalp numb.

"Xifu. How long will it take for the army to maintain food?" Dorgon's face was no longer as angry when he first received the news yesterday. It was just a layer of frost covered him, which made all the princes and princes sitting there silently. Although many of them were intimate with Nikan, no one dared to plead for Nikan. He even dared not ask about how Nikan dealt with.

"Return to the Imperial Government. According to the previous standards, I still support the 19th day." Xifu replied.

The minimum amount of grain storage in the army was only five days, and most of the time was half a month. When I heard Xifudi's answer, all the uneasy generals and territories breathed a sigh of relief. They had food in their hands and were not panicked. This was true for an ordinary peasant family or an army.

Dorgon's face did not become relaxed. He continued to ask: "If it is now re-shipped from the capital and transport 80,000 shi of military rations at one time, how long will it take to arrive?"

Xifu did not answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought carefully before showing a wry smile and said, "It will take about twenty-two to twenty-five days to go back to the emperor's father and the regent."

From twenty to twenty-five days, everyone exclaimed. Wouldn't that say that even at the fastest speed, there will be three days in the army to lack food. Not to mention three days in the shortage of food, even if it is short of food, it will be unimaginable if it is attacked by the Ming army.

"Mr. Xifu, have you made a mistake? Remember that if the military rations were not robbed this time, you can reach the military camp in four days. In other words, it will only take ten days to transport it from the capital to this time, even if it rains, why is it almost twenty-two days?" Luo Luohong couldn't help but say.

"Yes, Prince Yanxi is right, why does it take more than twenty days? It's too slow?" Everyone agreed.

I saw the same generals

Xifu had no choice but to explain: "You don't know that although summer grain can be collected by the capital city in the present day, it's just that it's raining, and the taxes collected by various places are hard to enter Beijing. The previous batch of 100,000 stones of grain, plus the 80,000 stones of grain transport this time is already mostly the newly collected taxes. Now there are not many grain stored in the capital city. Only after the rain stops, the taxes transported from various places can continue to arrive in the capital city. Not only that, thousands of grain transport trucks were also burned together with the grain and grass, and the court also needs to requisition another grain truck. Including these times, it's only a lot of more and less."

Xifu's words made the faces of the senior generals in the hall look extremely ugly, and they were speechless for a while. Many people just thought that Dore was too strict when they said to Ai Xinga. If Ai Xinga came back to life now, most people would agree to kill again.

"Of course, if the food is transported, it can still be reached within ten days." Xifu added. The capital city would not be able to even get 80,000 stone of grain. The key is that the transportation tools are short of transportation. More than 5,000 large trucks were burned by the Ming army at once. Where can I find so many large trucks? If people are used to pick them up or carry them with livestock, the proportion of food loss is too large. The Qing Dynasty was short of food, so how could it be used to waste food? Moreover, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital city, and the food consumed more food every day than the army. If I only care about the army, once the shortage of food in the capital city causes chaos, it will still shake the morale of the army.

Hearing Xifu's addition, everyone relaxed the string that had just been tense. Dorgon's eyes fell on Xifu and shouted, "Hrishexifu."

"The official is here."

"You go back to Beijing immediately and report the Empress Dowager and all the tools to transport grain. Within five days, no matter how much grain you can transport, you must transport the grain out."

"Secretary...Secretary obeys the order." Xifu was stunned for a moment before replying. He was a civil servant. It was really a chore to rush back to the capital on such a rainy day. However, since Dorgon had named the name, he had to go even if he was to make a knife.

In the present day, it takes almost two days for him to return to the capital, which means that he actually only has three days to search for tools to transport grain. In three days, maybe even half of the grain may not be transported, but no matter how much grain can be transported out, he can only care about the current situation. As for the loss, it is impossible to take into account for the time being.

"This time, the grain transport must be foolproof. I wonder which general is willing to take on this important task?"

When Dorgon asked, whether it was the prince, Beile or the generals, they all wanted to bury their heads underground so that the emperor's father and the regent could not see him. Ai Xinga was the lesson of the past. He sent 15,000 troops but still did not protect him. How many troops could he send to transport grain this time? If the Ming army came to rob the grain again, no one would be sure not to lose it.

"What, can the king go?" Seeing that everyone was treating transporting food as if they were avoiding the plague, Dorgon couldn't help but feel angry again.

"Return to the emperor's father, the regent, there is one person..." Ebilong said in a swaying voice.

Seeing Ebilong's appearance, Dorgon's face calmed down a lot, and he said, "Why do you hesitate if someone chooses?"

Prince Jinzhuang also asked the emperor's father, the regent to approve it.

”

Before Ebilon could tell the candidate, everyone here was worried, afraid that Ebilon would say his name. When Ebilon heard Ebilon say Nikan, many people were stunned and immediately reacted.

"Report to the emperor's father, the regent, and the slaves respect Prince Jinzhuang."

"The emperor's father, the regent, Prince Jing Jinzhuang has always had military achievements. The last failure was still caused by carelessness. I believe that Prince Jing Jinzhuang will be cautious this time. It is better to let Prince Jing Jinzhuang make meritorious."

"It's appropriate to let Prince Jing Jinzhuang come to escort the grain."

...

"It seems that Prince Jing Jinzhuang is really what everyone wants." Dore said with a smile on his face. Everyone stopped talking awkwardly. Nikan is still kneeling outside in the rain. Protecting food is a chore for everyone, but an opportunity for Nikan. As long as the emperor's father and the regent agree, they will naturally not be punished again.

"Go and call Prince Jing Jinzhuang in."

"Yes, master." The two Goshhas replied. Soon, Nikan, who had been kneeling for more than two hours, was helped in. Perhaps because he had been kneeling for too long. As soon as the two Goshhas let go, Nikan knelt on the ground with a pounce: "The sinner Aisin Jueroni met the regent of the emperor's father, the regent of the emperor's father, Qiansui! Qiansui! Qiansui!"

"Hmph, Nikan, this time I lost the food and grass, I should be punished severely. But I am the king of Aisin Gioro, and I can have a chance to escort the food and grass again and make meritorious service. If I can transport the food and grass safely to the military camp, I can leave it alone. If there is another mistake, you don't have to come back and wipe your neck."
