Huang Zhenye bowed his head and the next thing became much simpler.

Within one day, the chess pieces he had arranged in Qingzhou Prefecture were cleaned up, with more than 200 people, most of whom were women.

It is conceivable how crazy this guy is!

Xu Changqing seemed to have kept his promise at this time, and did not kill him directly, but just pickled him up. However, as long as Xu Changqing completely controls the situation, this guy is destined to be in a slaughter.

no way.

This is the outcome of the loser!

If Xu Changqing really failed one day, he would probably end up worse than Huang Zhenye!

Therefore, men must not be defeated!

...

In mid-November, the storm of the White Lotus Sect gradually subsided.

Jining has been completely controlled by Xu Changqing, and the White Lotus Palace, including their head and branch rudders, have been wiped out by the Model Army.

The silver alone was seized nearly 400,000 taels of other land, grain, antiques and materials, and countless other land.

In total, it will never be less than one million taels.

This also made Xu Changqing eat a lot all of a sudden and no longer have to worry about money in a short period of time.

Of course, while Xu Changqing was eating meat, he did not forget to let the Shandong Governor's Office, Jining Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion have some soup.

Anyway, the ending was very happy.

On November 17th, as Xu Changqing returned to Haicheng, the imperial court's reward finally came down.

Although Emperor Chongzhen did not grant Xu Changqing the title of marquis, there were many subsequent series of honors. Xu Changqing also became the youngest prince Shaobao in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, holding the gold medal.

At the same time, the 100,000 taels of food and salary were also paid in advance.

Originally, he must have gone to the capital to reward him, but considering that Xu Changqing had just been assassinated and had not fully recovered, the emperor and the court made an exception and asked Wang Chengen to come to Haicheng personally and give Xu Changqing a reward.

Haicheng held a grand celebration for this. Before the end of the New Year, it gradually pushed the atmosphere to the New Year atmosphere.

However, when the people were still immersed in excitement, Xu Changqing was already busy flying.

Although the battle to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect has gained a lot, it will take time to truly cash out.

Xu Changqing basically did not bring any of the silver harvested this time, but was replaced with various materials.

The Grand Canal has been frozen at this time, and the cost is too high, but it is not as good as by land.

Fortunately, Jining is not far from Haicheng, and Xu Changqing is willing to pay the money and hired a large number of mules, horses and porters from around Jining. He transported all his supplies to Haicheng by the end of the year. The problem is not big.

But this process must not make any mistakes, and the faster the time, the better.

At this time, Xu Changqing was not sure whether the Dorgon brothers should take action at the end of the year or at the beginning of the year.

If it is the end of the year, according to the efficiency of the Eight Banners soldiers, you can reach the city of Haicheng in a few days.

However, Xu Changqing cannot show this kind of thing, it cannot dampen the interest of the people and cause panic.

The Daqing River, including the surrounding coasts, has been frozen strongly at this time, and the ice-breaking operation is definitely urgent.

Others may have forgotten the sorrow of Juehua Island, but Xu Changqing has not forgotten it!

It is too laborious to chisel ice with manpower, and it costs a lot, and the efficiency is not high. Xu Changqing also took time to take Zhang Dagong, Li Zhu and others to try to blast with gunpowder.

Dig out small holes on the ice surface and use the explosive power of black, fire and medicine to blew the ice.

After several failures and even killing several people, the effectiveness of technology gradually began to appear.

In just over a dozen days, the ice surface was broken by dozens of miles around Haicheng.

With the arrival of Jining and Qingzhou Prefecture supplies, the granary was also being built rapidly, almost every day, with hundreds of huge greenhouse warehouses beginning to be filled with.

Include more

The temporary gathering place is also being built rapidly.

Others such as coal, firewood, hay, horse materials, etc., are gathered madly from various surrounding areas to Haicheng.

...

In this busyness, time was passing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived at the 28th day of the 15th year of Chongzhen.

Haicheng is now full of the New Year atmosphere.

Unlike the time when Haicheng was first established last year, at this time, after more than a year of hard work, Haicheng has already gained a lot of foundation.

Festive red lanterns were hung outside the doors of almost every household, and many children changed into new clothes in advance, running and playing in the joyful streets and alleys.

Their childhood was so happy for the first time, and it was truly carefree.

The eldest girl and the young wife were all taking their holiday men, walking around the commercial street not far from Xu Changqing's Zhongyi Bo Mansion.

It is called a commercial street, but to be more precise, it is a commercial district.

This commercial area covers an area of ​​nearly 50 acres, extending directly to the beach, with thousands of shops of various types.

It can be said that all kinds of goods from all over the world, including those flying in the sky, swimming in the water, climbing on the ground, all kinds of food and toys, are almost everything.

Of course, almost half of it is Xu Changqing's industry, and it is the masterpiece of the women of Xu Changqing's home.

It was the end of the year, and Xu Changqing gave generous gifts to the children of the Model Army, including many auxiliary soldiers, civilians and sailors.

Most people who work in all kinds of jobs have received generous salaries.

This also makes Haicheng not too many people, but its purchasing power is already quite strong, which also makes the New Year atmosphere stronger and stronger.

In the temporary official hall.

The charcoal fire in the brazier crackled, dispelling the fine snow and violent north wind outside, making the indoor baked warm as spring.

All the bigwigs of the Political Affairs Office are listed, and Li Hongyun is now summarizing Xu Changqing in detail this year's annual report.

After the report, the holiday will be on. We have been busy for a year and finally have a good rest. In addition, the Shandong Zuohui has gained a lot this year, and everyone is in a very good mood.

However, under Xu Changqing's throne, the military advisor Li Yan, who was in the left head, had a smile on his face, but there was obvious worry in his eyes.

He was the only one who knew Xu Changqing's prediction of the Qing army's entry into the pass.

After Li Hongyun finished reporting, Xu Changqing generously sent another red envelope for each big boss, and sent them away with a smile, but Li Yan stayed.

"Haha, military advisor, don't be nervous all the time. Even if the Tartars really want to come, it's okay. We have prepared a lot!"

Xu Changqing smiled and patted Li Yan on the shoulder.

Looking at Xu Changqing's proud and confident look, Li Yan felt a lot more at ease, but for a moment, he frowned and said, "Brother, I'm not worried about Haicheng, mainly Zhanhua and Lijin. What should those people do then? Should we plan ahead?"

Xu Changqing savored the fragrant tea in a simplified manner, "If the Tartars want to enter the pass, they probably have to go to the front line of Xifengkou."

Xu Changqing pointed to the map and drew a line with his hands.

Li Yan quickly understood what Xu Changqing meant, "Brother, you mean, let's go..."

"hehe."

Xu Changqing smiled: "Military advisor, how can there be perfect things in this world? Some things that are not experienced can't be known to be valuable. Don't worry, although Xifengkou's defense is not very good, there is no problem with beacon. If the Tartars really enter the pass, we will definitely receive the news as soon as possible. Go back and have a good rest and spend more time with General Hong. Otherwise, I guess she would have to come to me with a knife."

Li Yan had already relaxed a lot, but smiled bitterly: "This woman is even more cruel than me when she plays her life. She spends almost every day in the military camp. I go home more times than her.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Oh, Mr. Bo, I have already wished you a good old age in advance. I hope our worries will not come true.”

Finally, after seeing Li Yan away, Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

How could it be if the Qing army doesn’t come!

Dorgon and the others probably had already sharpened their swords and had been waiting for this day for a long time!

However, compared to the Tartars, Xu Changqing was more worried about the refugee army!

I just want Li Zicheng and the others to not make any trouble when the Tartars enter the pass.

At this time, Shen Shi had just come out, and it was still early before supper. Xu Changqing did not go back to the back house directly, but came to the inner study room, lit an incense stick, closed his eyes and calmed down.

In later generations, many men had a habit of going home, not going home immediately, but lighting a cigarette in the car and staying for a while.

Because these few minutes, more than ten minutes are the time that truly belongs to you.

Although Xu Changqing was much happier than later generations at this time, he not only had no worries about food and drink, but also had a lot of beauties in the back home, and there was no great pressure in a short period of time. However, the Qing Dynasty, the refugee army, and the imperial court, were like dark clouds, always covering Xu Changqing's head, making him dare not slacken at all.

"ah."

"Master, you are here."

Xu Changqing had just lying on the tiger skin throne for a moment, and was just trying to light a bag of cigarettes to slow down the gods, a happy voice suddenly came from the side room next to him.

After a moment, Mei Yan, wearing a purple long dress, walked in in surprise.

Today is she on duty next to Xu Changqing's inner study room. She thought Xu Changqing would not come here today and would go back to the back house directly, but she didn't expect Xu Changqing to come here.

Looking at the happy Mei Yan, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Changqing's mouth.
