Meng Ke's 60,000 infantrymen attacked for half a day and defeated Shangqiu. They captured alive important Qing generals such as Duoduo, Ning Wanwo, Malaxi, Gong Acha, Tan Tai, Zuo Menggeng, and Li Lutai, and captured more than 20,000 Qing troops.
The impact of this battle was far-reaching. Lekedehun did not even dare to stay in Kaifeng and hurriedly retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River.
Dongfang Sheng of Shandong took the opportunity to attack. With the help of 20,000 to 30,000 volunteers under his command, he swept across southern Shandong, and all the cities surrendered.
When the news of the great victory reached Huai'an, Qin Mu clapped his hands and said "good" three times.
Li Yuan also shouted: "The world is settled!"
"Congratulations, my king! Congratulations, my king!" The ministers who accompanied the emperor to Huai'an stood up one after another and congratulated Qin Mu.
"Congratulations, everyone. Hahaha..." Qin Mu smiled cheerfully.
Even a steady old minister like Sima An couldn't help but feel a little excited and ecstatic;
Now, the general trend of the world is truly clear;
The entire area south of the Yellow River has fallen into the hands of the Qin Dynasty. It is only a matter of time before Shanxi and northern Zhili are conquered.
The unification of the Qin Dynasty is a foregone conclusion. As the founding heroes of the Qin Dynasty, people like Sima An will be recorded in history forever, just like the founding heroes of all dynasties. This is what everyone dreams of.
"My Lords, please prepare yourself. In two days, I will move to Kaifeng and take charge of the Central Plains."
"Yes, King Qin."
Everyone answered loudly and happily.
It was necessary for the Emperor Qin to move his capital to Kaifeng. It was impossible for the Qin Dynasty to recover several provinces at once and send officials from the south.
Let’s not talk about whether the South has so many officials to send. Even if there are, doing so will not be conducive to long-term stability in the future.
Now that the capital of the Qin Dynasty has been chosen to be Jinling, if the officials appointed are all from the south, then the northerners will certainly feel dissatisfied and think that they have been marginalized. The struggle between the north and the south in the early Ming Dynasty will be inevitable.
The north was already broken and difficult to govern. Once the dispute between the north and the south became serious enough, it would easily alienate the people in the north. In this case, it would not be surprising for a rebellion to occur.
Qin Mu returned to the backyard. In a good mood, he and Hong Niangzi went boating on Shao Lake and had dinner together on the painted boat.
Hongniangzi opened a jar of good wine, and the two drank and chatted, talking about moving to Kaifeng. Hongniangzi was very happy because her hometown was in Henan.
"The defeat of the Jiannu is certain. Is there any need for you to go to Kaifeng?" Hong Niang's face was flushed. She asked this, obviously afraid that Qin Mu would change his mind and not go to Henan.
She was born in a poor family and sympathized with the suffering of the lower class people. Over the years, Henan has been the main battlefield between the rebels and the Ming army. Under the dual destruction of war and famine, Henan was in ruins and the people were living in misery.
Hongniang naturally hoped that the emperor would go there in person to see for himself and understand firsthand the sufferings of the people of Henan.
In the future, when he deals with the affairs of the country, out of sympathy, he may be able to take better care of the folks in Henan.
Qin Mu waited for her to pour the wine, took a sip, and said, "I must go to Kaifeng. First, it can boost the morale of the soldiers at the front. Let them make persistent efforts and defeat the enemy as soon as possible;
Secondly, after the Jurchens, there is the Mongols. We must also seize the opportunity to resolve this issue. Otherwise, the imbalance of power caused by the fall of the Jurchens will likely allow the Mongols to profit from it and grow stronger, quickly becoming another great enemy of our Qin.
Therefore, not only will I go to Kaifeng, but after I conquer Yanjing, I will also go north to Yanjing and try to take advantage of the situation to divide and disintegrate the various Mongolian tribes, once and for all."
After hearing what he said, Lady Hong was slightly disappointed. She asked, "Is this all you know since you came to the Central Plains?"
"Ying'er, come sit over here and I'll tell you in detail."
"You speak first."
"If you don't obey me, I won't say anything. I never mention such important military and political matters to the people in the harem. Talking to you is an exception."
Lady Hong had no choice but to stand up and sit in his arms. She was tall and slender, and when she sat down, she was almost as tall as Qin Mu.
Qin Mu put his arm around her waist, smelled her body fragrance and said, "Of course it's not just for these reasons. I went to the Central Plains to select some officials and talents from the local area to balance the gap between the north and the south.
Nowadays, most of the ministers in the court are from the south. If this continues, it will be very inappropriate. Even the most upright officials have some selfish motives and will always take more care of their hometowns.
To give the simplest example, if a minister's hometown suffers a disaster, he will definitely try his best to get more relief money and food for his hometown, and he will even exaggerate the disaster situation by multiples for this purpose.
The court is full of southern officials. In the future, the people in the south will be taken care of more in all aspects, while the people in the north will have no one to speak for them. It is impossible for the king to check in person, so the people will feel that the court is unfair to them.
This is just one of the hidden dangers. There are many hidden dangers of imbalance between the north and the south, so I must go north. Although it is impossible to solve this problem all at once, the sooner I start, the better. "
Although Hongniangzi didn't think so deeply, she was very happy when she heard that Qin Mu wanted to balance the differences between the north and the south. For the first time in her life, she turned around and kissed him.
"That's more like it. That's what a good emperor should be like."
"Haha, this is the first time you've said something good about me, Ying'er."
"As long as you become a good emperor and make the people of the world live a good life, I will say good things to you every day."
There was a hint of gentleness in her heroic look, and the skin on her face was whiter than before, adding three times more beauty to her.
Qin Mu's hand couldn't help but move upwards quietly, feeling the amazing curves of her body, and finally covering her towering breasts.
Hongniang moved her body slightly, and stopped resisting. She leaned softly on his chest, allowing his big hands to invade her breasts.
"When I go north, I will naturally go to see the people's livelihood in the north. If I don't see these things with my own eyes, just listening to the reports from the officials below is too abstract and not conducive to governance. It's like scratching an itch through a shoe, it's difficult to scratch the itch. Only after seeing it, I will have a clear idea in my heart, so that I won't be easily deceived by the officials below in the future."
"Yes, you must go and see. The people of Henan have had a very hard time in recent years. The land is barren and the people are living in misery. If you go and see it, you will know that I am not lying to you."
The sun sets outside the pleasure boat, and the red clouds in the sky are reflected on the lake. The evening breeze blows from the lake, and the wind chimes on the four corners of the cabin tinkle slightly, as clear as the sound of a chime.
Under his teasing, the red lady in his arms began to breathe heavier and her face flushed, just like the glow on the lake. He asked with a smile: "Ying'er, do you want to give birth to a child for me?"
"I want to..." Red Lady answered without thinking.
"What are you waiting for?"
"I knew you had no good intentions..."
Hong Niang uttered a light rebuke, but she was reluctant yet willing. Qin Mu deftly unbuttoned her shirt, pulled open her bra, and released her huge and upright breasts.
Her breasts were like a pair of large papayas carved from white jade, pink and shiny, with amazing elasticity. Hong Niangzi turned around and hugged her, and Qin Mu lowered his head and took the red cherry on the top of her breasts, causing Hong Niangzi to moan like a nightingale.
"Ying'er, it seems to have grown a little bigger. This is all thanks to me."
"Please stop talking nonsense... um... um oh..." Although Hong Niangzi was not trained in professional skills like Li Xiangjun and the others, she was still wild by nature, like a wild horse, and always gave Qin Mu a different feeling.
Her huge breasts are incomparable to those of other women, enough to make people linger.
When making love with her, Qin Mu was often more direct. On this pleasure boat, in the evening, he used both hands to quickly strip her naked;
This is a body that is enough to make people's bodies melt into pieces, with a thin waist, slender legs, and plump buttocks. Her pretty face also has a bit of heroic spirit, which makes people feel full of the desire to conquer her.
Today, Lady Hong was particularly cooperative, taking the initiative to undress him, giving him a long kiss, then turning around and lying prone on the soft tiger-skin cushion, raising her snow-white, plump buttocks high;
The jade-like spring bay, the dew-soaked grass, and the pink petals of peach blossoms are extremely alluring.
Qin Mu couldn't help but be overjoyed. What he enjoyed most was riding this wild rouge horse from behind. At this moment, the horse's snow-white buttocks were raised high, and its pretty face looked back, with a shy look in its eyes, as if it was issuing an invitation... ...
Huh! Qin Mu let out a long sigh, picked up his gun and mounted his horse, and with a puff, he drove straight in. The warm and urgent feeling made his blood rush to his head;
The prone lady Hong couldn't help but raise her head and let out a sweet moan that made people feel excited and bone-melting, "Ah..."
