The next day, Shanhaiwei camped.

The two officials of the Ministry of Rites sat respectfully on the lower heads and carefully discussed with His Highness the King of Liao. The regulations, size and size of the Liao Palace in Fushun were customized. The two officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect, and the person in front of him was

His Highness, the generation of evil people who do not like to adhere to the ancestral system the least, would have asked clearly and offended His Highness. If he offended His Highness, it would have offended the entire Liaodong, and that would have been great.

But I didn't expect that His Highness, the King of Liao, seemed to be in a particularly comfortable mood today, and he would laugh at everyone.

Ma Cheng casually flipped through the drawings and said with a smile: "Is there any regulation? Then come according to the regulations. Save others to say that I violate the rules and illegally."

The two officials of the Ministry of Rites nodded quickly and supported him, but they were wondering in their hearts, saying, "Your Highness, when and where have you followed the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and when have you ever been afraid of other people's gossip? Naturally, you only dare to think about this in your heart."

The two officials of the Ministry of Rites were relieved and put away the drawings and hurriedly left, afraid that Ye Changmeng would destroy this highman.

Ma Cheng didn't care about the scale of the royal palace. The left and right were just a place to live. He drove away two officials of the Ministry of Rites leaned on the chair, yawned, stretched his waist and was stunned and lost his mind. He then parted with Zhang Yan for a moment.

Then I felt excited again, thinking that I had to find an excuse to keep her for a few more days.

On that day, news came from the headquarters during lunch.

The Empress Dowager was ill and felt cold occasionally, so she had to stay in Shanhaiwei for a few more days.

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and did not dare to neglect the imperial doctor in a hurry. After the diagnosis and treatment, he said that the empress had been depressed for a long time, and the depression energy condensed in the liver and had to rest. Half a day later, news came again that Shanhaiwei was small and the conditions were poor.

His Highness of the Liao King invited the Empress Dowager to Shenyang for half a year to recuperate. Emperor Chongzhen respected this emperor's sister-in-law very much. Seeing her frowning and her face turned red, she got up and walked like a willow to support the wind, and her body became weak, so she had to respond.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, mid-March.

The emperor refused to return to the capital for a long time, and lingered in the border walls and military forts all day long, and was in high spirits.

The civil and military officials felt a lot of pain, and knew that the Emperor Majesty was returning to the capital because he had played a little, and then he was playing wild. If he didn't have fun, how could he go back to the big cage of the Forbidden City? The officials persuaded him for a while, the emperor

He didn't listen. At this time, His Highness of the King of Liao spoke and was anxious to return to Beijing. He thought that the people of Liaodong were not well-behaved in good manners and were they inappropriate?

As soon as His Highness the King of Liao said this, all civil and military officials did not dare to persuade him anymore, so they had to go to Shanhaiguan by the northwest wind and struggled.

In mid-March, Xing'anling.

Arrows flew across the dense forest, dozens of Ming generals crawled out of the forest, and were shot back by a rain of arrows. A large number of murderous flag soldiers hundreds of steps away were chasing them, chasing them relentlessly.

Linzi. The Ming army was chased and fled in a very embarrassing manner. From time to time, some people slipped and fell, and were pulled up by their companions to run. Dozens of Ming army were defeated but not in chaos, and alternately covered. After getting into the forest, they pulled their bows and arrows and aimed at them.

Shoot.

More than ten powerful arrows broke through the air and shot several flag soldiers who were chasing them, and the momentum of a large number of captive soldiers was stagnant.

The Ming army took the opportunity to put away their bows and arrows, ran high on the soft snow, and ran away like a rabbit.

Jianlu team, Haoge jumped up and down in anger, cursing: "Chase, catch it!"

clang!

A group of guards beside the little master Haoge, who pulled out his waist and looked a little unkind. A large number of flag soldiers who were still waiting outside the forest rushed into the dense forest in groups. The old master was seriously injured and could not take matters. The little master Hao

Ge took over the power and gathered his troops and turned around to fight fiercely with the Ming army's pursuers, but gained little. His eyes were red, and the remnants of the Eight Banners simply stopped fleeing, but turned around and attacked tens of thousands of soldiers.

The Ming army was unfolded on the spot and the fierce punishment was wiped out.

Soon, hundreds of flag soldiers looked for the footprints of the Ming army, panting and howling, rushed out of the dense forest.

Outside the forest, more than a thousand Ming troops had arrived, and they had already pulled their bows and arrows to form a formation.

"fly!"

The Ming general pointed his sword forward, and the bowstring sounded, and dense arrows broke through the air. Hundreds of flag soldiers were shot over the ground in an instant. The back team hurriedly turned around and fled into the forest, looking for cover, and dense arrows were intensive.

They plunged into the snow, nailing the wounded soldiers who were screaming and rolling.

After a moment, thousands of flag soldiers rushed out of the forest and shot arrows to fight back.

Some people fell in the Ming army from time to time. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Ming army played alternate covers and fought and retreated. When they fought until dusk, both sides were exhausted before they left contact.

At night, in a valley.

The wounded soldiers were full of the camp, and the groans and pain made Li Zhengming helpless. He spent more than ten days of fierce fighting to consume a large amount of medicinal materials and supplies, and even the arrows were exhausted. The soldiers under his command were really unable to fight again, and they all depended on one breath to hold on.

There was also some joy. Jianlu was not much stronger. For more than ten days, Jianlu stopped fleeing and launched a large-scale counterattack on the spot. After more than ten days of fighting, he was at a loss. Both of the two exhausted troops were a little tired of fighting.

It's right.

The brave Zhenghuang Banner Bayala and the Kaiyuan old soldiers who had been fighting for the rest of their lives were so tired of war. This battle of chasing the forest and snow fields was too long and difficult. Li Zhengming sat cross-legged and let the medical officer deal with it.

The arrow was injured, and a piece of flesh-and-blooded mouth was twitching. I smiled bitterly in my heart. I looked at the mountain people who were making fire to get water and boiling meat in the camp. I cheered up. How many of the two thousand mountain people who gathered along the way could support me?

sky.

After seven days, Li Zhengming thought that if the reinforcements did not come again after seven days, he would be wiped out.

Ten miles away, Jianlu Camp.

The sound of slander soldiers in the camp was filled with crying, which made the furious Haoge feel distracted, like a wounded beast holding a knife and slashing at a tree. The eight banners Zhang Jing dared not provoke this person

The little master, he sent out his men to carry the injured soldiers away, and the entire camp was clean.

In the second half of the night, it was extremely cold.

Curled up in the snow nest, the flag soldiers sitting cross-legged beside the fire were weak, and kept fiddling with the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously, and they couldn't fight. They had been chasing the forest for more than ten days in a row

Tens of thousands of flag soldiers and the Ming army chased and fled, fighting fiercely to the south for hundreds of miles. Along the way, there were many bodies left behind by casualties. The wounded soldiers never encircled the Ming army. The loss was a small loss, and you all experienced a long time

Zhang Jing, the Eight Banners in the battle formation, knew that he could not fight any more. If he continued to fight, the Ming army was still running like a rabbit, and tens of thousands of flag soldiers were dragged down first.

Zhang Jing knelt down and persuaded him all night, then Haoge hung his head and ordered his retreat north.

Tens of thousands of flag soldiers barely gathered together, and after half a day, the Ming army caught up with him. Haoge lost his energy to get angry. Tens of thousands of Eight Banners remnants stopped, carrying the wounded soldiers, and the patients were quietly in the dense forest.

Walk through.

March 22, the eighth year of Chongzhen.

The Ming army camp in Lena River was boiling, the weather was a little warm, and the main force of Kaiyuan Town, which had been raised for a winter, could no longer hold back. More than 20,000 vanguards entered the mountains along the road opened by the engineers.

For a moment, the quiet southern side of Xing'an Mountains became noisy and bustle, and there were soldiers of the Ming army everywhere. The 20,000 vanguard army cleared a passage into the mountain in the thick snow, following the various left by Li Zhengming's troops.
