Chapter 585: Li Bao

Nowadays, Emperor Chongzhen was scared by the Donglin Party and no one believed it, and he became more and more stubborn. The Donglin Party and the eunuch Party believed it, and a large number of new people without party backgrounds were used. The current situation in Fengyang

The world was shaken by the defeat. Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, was probably unable to save his head, and he wanted to kill another general. The Donglin Party was shattered and destroyed the dragon veins of the Tian family, and it was inevitable that he would fade out of the court.

However, there is a person who is absolutely trusting and respectful to Emperor Chongzhen, who is Sun Chengzong, the two generations of imperial teachers.

When Sun Chengzong went to Guanning, he was mostly secretly decreed to seize Yuan Chonghuan's military power. With the character of Emperor Chongzhen, his patience towards Yuan Chonghuan should have been used up long ago.

Ma Cheng was a little stuck and advised: "The Guanning Army can still fight. Mr. Sun and Yuan are strategic, but they have insufficient experience in leading the army."

Sun Chengzong raised his beard and stared at him, "You are kind and you are still exonerating him."

Ma Cheng bowed and said freely: "Don't be in a hurry, Mr. Sun, let's celebrate the New Year in Kaiyuan."

Sun Chengzong responded. This New Year Festival, the Kaiyuan people celebrated a lot. The first day of the first lunar month is the main festival. The Kaiyuan people steamed snacks and marinated meat. They started to eat big things at the end of the thirty.

Chewing, drums and music are noisy, the generals beside the door, the peach talisman board, the gold, silver and eight treasures in the room, and the economic economy are all available. Kaiyuan's huge fortress, city and handicraft center suddenly become festive.

Because a large number of livestock were seized from the Oirats, Kaiyuan's meat was open for supply and extremely cheap.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the northwest of Baicheng Zhenyuan Fort.

The surrounding area of ​​Baicheng is now very cautious, and the power on duty has increased by 30% compared to usual. It is cold and the soldiers wearing big red cotton armor in Zhenyuanbaoguan City rub their hands from time to time, but everyone is ate and no one is worried about it.

Complaint. In this era, it is so happy that you can eat your stomach and eat meat every day. On the grassland outside the city, a team of cavalry slowly walked on both sides of the road, and a long queue in the middle of the road.

Zhenyuan Fort is northwest of Baicheng and is the first large military fortress in the Kaiyuan Town Army's deep into the grasslands of the northern desert.

Today, Zhenyuan Fort has been basically repaired. The iconic hollow main fortress of the fortress, the polygonal city walls, and the frontier triangular fortress have been mostly repaired, and can stockpile military rations and ammunition. As the Ming Dynasty, the three major armies that controlled the grasslands in the north of the desert were in depth.

One of the forts, Zhenyuan Fort covers a large area, thirty miles from east to west and fifty miles from north to south. It entrenches like a monster on the Korqin Grassland and the border with the Mobei Grassland.

Gazhi, a tall suspension bridge at the fort gate fell.

Deng Chengzhi turned over and dismounted and patted his numb face. He took the hot water bag that his colleagues at the fort gate still came over. He poured several mouthfuls of ginger soup and felt that his belly became warm. He left the Great Wall from Gubeikou and marched thousands of miles away.

But after suffering all the hardships, there were many frostbite among the 100,000 refugees, and they were treated urgently. Looking back, there was a team of refugees who could not see at first sight, stretching from Zhenyuan Fort to the horizon at the end of the grassland.

The fort gate was wide open, and the soldiers wearing thick leather robes and the town army wearing cotton armor walked out, and had already set up a row of braziers along the fort wall. The fire was burning in the Central Plains coal and charcoal, which seemed to dissipate the chill on the grassland.

There were more and more refugees gathering at the fort gate. Some people couldn't help but make a fuss and shouted. A large number of refugees suddenly exploded the camp and rushed to burning braziers under the wall.

Bang bang bang, Kaiyuan Town Army, who was waiting for battle on the city wall above, ruthlessly fired a gun and attacked it.

The strong men running in the front were knocked down by heavy muskets. The muskets fired and the refugees calmed down.

"Hold your head and kneel down!"

There was a burst of scolding sound from the city wall, and the cavalry outside the city also surrounded them by horses and walked through the crowd that had blown up the camp. The large group of refugees gradually calmed down. Deng Chengzhi was a little annoyed, and he pressed his sword to observe for a while, and suddenly walked over with murderous intent.

He kicked over a man with a big ear on one side. The man with a big ear on the other side took a kick and staggered to the ground. However, several refugees around him suddenly rose up and took out a short blade from his arms and stabbed him.

The refugees were in chaos, the screams of women and the crying of children were in chaos.

The cavalry near the left were unscathed and rushed over, but unexpectedly Deng Chengzhi used the sheathed sword as an iron mace. He smashed a tall man with the left knife and shouted loudly, and smashed a thin man with a mace on the right.

He lay down, and with the last powerful force, he kicked the man from that side to kneel down and moaned in pain. He made a few more blows with one left and one right, he made a powerful force and a huge shock with one eye.

"I'm tied up and I'm punished!"

Deng Chengzhi shouted violently, and a group of defenders rushed over, erecting the bandits who were mixed with the refugees and stirring up the wind and rain, and forked them away. The black muskets on the city wall pointed at the Red Army uniforms, and the wind was blown to hunt.

Making a sound, riding a horse, holding the reins in one hand and carrying a knife, divides a large number of refugees into clusters, and the chaos quickly subsides. A group of merchants wearing luxurious leather robes hid at the city gate and pointed at them, daring to be there

The Kaiyuan Town Army in Baicheng caused trouble on the territory of the army and incited civil unrest. These bandits were afraid that they would be dizzy and kicked the iron plate.

"That young general is so powerful, he is brave and handsome, and he is so young."

"Do you know what kind of background this person is? The younger generation of the Deng family and the younger generation of the Deng Zilong and the Grand Commander Deng are naturally extremely brave."

"I am a captain, this position is a bit lower."

"That is the hereditary Yunqiwei, which is different from ordinary captains. He is a good son-in-law."

Deng Chengzhi was a good man in front of the two armies. Facing a group of wealthy businessmen, the gentry pointed at him but his tender face turned red. He was picking his son-in-law on the street. Kaiyuan's businessmen are really brave. They have all seen the world.

Yes. At this time, a group of young women came out of the city, gave porridge, ginger soup, and distributed some clothes to protect the cold. Seeing the hot white rice porridge, the men squeezed in front of them swallowed their saliva.

Deng Chengzhi glared at his eyes, scaring these refugees retreated one after another, not daring to provoke this brave young man.

Bang, dozens of large buckets of porridge fell to the ground, and the outside of the city soon became lively.

The cavalry was monitoring and patrolling nearby. The infantrymen with distinctive armor under the city were watching the soldiers. They went up to pick people. According to the convention, the yamen picked a round first, and Kong Wu strongly picked some and organized them into the auxiliary camp.

The craftsmanship blacksmiths, plasterers, gold and silver carpenters were incorporated into the craftsman camp, and the butlers from the nobles in the city first picked one round, and then it was the caravan who picked the guards and the landlords picked the eldest sons and followed them, which was very lively.

Deng Chengzhi patrols the crowd with his sword. At this time, the refugees didn't care about him anymore. When they received the white porridge and ginger soup, they swallowed it. Occasionally, they would be snatched by the fierce Kaiyuan Town Army.

He flirted and dragged away. Deng Chengzhi walked among the refugee group with expressionless expression, watching a thin man snatching a bowl of porridge. His face was covered in blood by a gun. The trembling woman looked at him in horror.
