The large-scale military operations in the north could not be concealed from some well-informed people.

In a private house in Beijing, a Manchu man about 14 or 15 years old said to his wife: "Pack up, let's go back outside the customs."

"Why go back outside the customs, Beijing is much better than outside the customs."

The woman in her thirties asked that she was the stepmother of the young man, but because her husband died in battle, she is now the young man's wife.

"I won't go back outside the customs. There is no perfume and soap outside the customs, and there is no comfortable life in Beijing."

Another woman in her early twenties said that she was also the boy's woman, originally the boy's sister-in-law.

With the death of a large number of adult Manchu men in battle, the number of wives owned by the remaining Manchu men increased considerably.

"What a shit, in order to be able to live in Beijing, my father and my eldest brother have both died in battle. The regent has already led the army to the south. If I lose this time, I will join the army next time. I know a few people. Brother, I heard that all of them have died in battle. In some unfortunate Niu Lu, hundreds of people in the entire Niu Lu were all killed."

The boy scolded, the soldiers at the bottom don't care whether the world belongs to Dorgon or Wu Changqing, he only wants to save his own life.

When he entered the customs, his father and eldest brother robbed a lot of property and came back, but he quite liked and supported Dorgon's war.

However, with the repeated defeats of the Qing army, and the death of his father and elder brother in battle, he has become extremely resistant to war in his heart.

He was also afraid of such a high mortality rate.

Although the living conditions outside the customs are a bit more difficult, at least they can save their lives.

"How can this be, without permission, we will be severely punished for returning to the border without permission."

The woman looked sad, she was both afraid of the court and worried about losing a man again. If the current husbands die in battle again, there will be no one who will take them in.

At that time, they may become public property in a certain cattle record, or they may find a more unbearable person to accept them. All in all, it's not a good place to stay.

"I'll find a way to meet Dutong and offer some belongings from the family to see if he can be accommodated."

The boy said, on the contrary, he was determined to return to the outside world.

In addition to some civilians who wanted to run back to the customs, some more timid Manchu nobles also began to plan.

They are very insecure now because they are surrounded by Han people.

In the past, relying on a powerful army, they could run amok and be arrogant and domineering.

However, everyone knows that once the Eight Banners army is wiped out, it is impossible to rule those Han people again.

At that time, it is safer to go back outside the customs.

Of course, in addition to these timid Manchus, there are some more courageous adults who have not considered returning to the customs, and only hope that the front line will be able to fight a victory.

There are also some people who are already obsessed with the exquisite life in Shangguan and are reluctant to leave.

In another big house, a Han family.

"Let the servants prepare, we will move."

said a forty-year-old homeowner.

"Okay, why are you moving?"

His wife asked.

"If you don't move, it's dangerous to stay in Beijing."

The head of the family said that he is a businessman, very well-informed, and also has some understanding of politics.

He knew that once Dorgon failed this time, it would be an inevitable event for the Manchu Qing to return to the border.

And he believes that the Qing army will definitely not leave on its own at that time, and will definitely bring the population and wealth around Beijing to the outside of the customs.

This kind of thing, in the past, when the Ming Dynasty was not destroyed, the Qing army often did it. This time, it will certainly be no exception.

Moreover, maybe in order to vent their anger, they will massacre the city before they leave.

This kind of thing, the Qing army has also done many times in Jiangnan.

Faced with the dark history of the Qing army, he would no longer believe that the Qing army was human.

As a Han Chinese who has the condition to choose where to live, he will not put himself and his family in danger.

Relatively speaking, he is lucky.

Others, who have no property and have to work every day to make a living, are unaware of the impending danger.

Even if they knew, not many people would choose to leave their homes.

In these days, it is not easy to survive after leaving home. In other places, there is no land for them to cultivate, so they can only be tenant farmers.

Rather than leaving their hometowns, more people prefer to place their hopes on the illusion that the Qing army will not harm them.

In Taiyuan, Liu Guangqi, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, banged on the table.

He was thinking about something big, something big enough to decide his fate.

Should we take the opportunity to rebel?

Liu Guangqi pondered in his heart, as a man, who wouldn't want to try to win Kyushu?

Today, the world is in chaos. In Sichuan there is the Daxi regime of Zhang Xianzhong, the Manchu regime in Beijing, Wu Changqing in Nanjing, and Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian in the south.

Even He Tengjiao from Wuhan is not honest, he doesn't respect his orders, and he is not much different from an independent regime.

In such a chaotic situation, no one can say who will have the last laugh.

As long as you enter the field, you will have a chance.

Liu Guangqi was not afraid because the Manchu Qing and Wu Changqing were powerful. There are too many examples in history of defeating the strong by the weak. Every hero who founded a dynasty was not the most powerful one from the beginning.

Liu Guangqi's subordinates have

20,000 soldiers and horses, this starting condition, on the surface, looks much better than Wu Changqing at that time.

Since Wu Changqing can develop to this point with three hundred rural bravery, can't he rely on 20,000 people?

At least, Liu Guangqi thinks he has a chance.

Therefore, when he learned that the main force of the Qing army had all gone south to fight Wu Changqing decisively, he decided to start a rebellion and establish himself as king.

In Xuzhou, Lu Zhi County in the jurisdiction wrote letters overnight, and he was passing information to Wu Jun.

Wu Jun's spies had already promised him that as long as they could get valuable information, after Wu Jun came over, not only would he be able to let go of what he had done before, but he could also be promoted to rank.

This made Lu Zhixian very moved. He felt that there was no hope for the Qing court to control the land of the Central Plains, because the population of the Han nationality was too large. Now that there is a strong enemy Wu Changqing in the south, the Qing army is bound to fail due to internal and external troubles.

Therefore, he started political speculation and surrendered to Wu Jun as soon as possible. If you don't surrender as soon as possible, and wait for Wu Jun to come over and then surrender, it will be difficult to be reused.

For those who want to climb up, rather than continue to do nothing, it is better to take a risk.

The war is coming, and all beings under the rule of the Qing court have revealed their faces.

Everyone is making small calculations for their own interests.

There is obviously no chance for such a regime to fight against a regime like Wu Changqing, where the army and the people are united as one.
