Chapter 958 Jia Heng: There is no doubt that he is the Duke of the country
Ping'an Prefecture
Jia Heng rode on a maroon horse and looked up. At this moment, the endless grassland was full of broken swords and flags burning into black smoke. Listening to what Jia Fang said, his calm mind couldn't help but feel agitated.
.
Previously, when fighting against the Jurchens, deep down in my heart, I did not expect to be able to shoot Huang Taiji, but I was hoping to get the best result. I did not expect that Huang Taiji actually put the commander's flag up.
When I shouted the word "fire" earlier, I felt a little excited in my heart.
Jia Fang said: "General."
Jia Heng turned around and stared at the Huang Taiji head that Jia Fang had brought up. His eyes moved slightly and he looked at the head with closed eyes. He saw streams of black and red blood dripping down from the neck cavity.
, fell on the grass, polluting a large area of grass.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Huang Taiji's body, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.
If the well jar is broken without leaving the tiles, the general will inevitably die in battle.
In fact, Huang Taiji was injured by the Hongyi artillery fire because the battlefield was unpredictable and dangerous because of the blindness of swords and guns.
Previously, as in the late Ming Dynasty in parallel time and space, Nurhachi was injured by Yuan Chonghuan's Hongyi cannon. Many times, the charge on the battlefield was so dramatic.
At this moment, following Jia Fang's report, Dong Qian, Qi Jianhui and other generals who accompanied Jia Heng on the expedition also had expressions of ecstasy on their faces.
Huang Taiji's head is much rarer than the Jurchen soldiers and horses in front of him.
With this head, it is almost unnecessary to imagine how excited the emperor in the capital and the princes in the temple must be.
It can be said that the generals and soldiers in front of Ping'an Province at this moment are all elated for this great victory.
Jia Heng calmed down, without showing any strange expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The armies swept the battlefield, collected the corpses, and put the heads in boxes, waiting to report the victory to the court tomorrow."
"Yes." Jia Fang's heart was agitated, her cheeks flushed, and she responded loudly.
At this moment, looking at the entire battlefield, except for the corpses of the Qing army lying on the grass, it was a mess.
When night falls, the entire city of Ping'an Prefecture is brightly lit, almost enveloped in a noisy and lively atmosphere.
The joy of defeating the elite Jurchen bannermen came to an end as the external war came to an end, and also swept and spread throughout the entire Beijing camp.
Jia Heng specially ordered the military logistics department to distribute wine and meat so that the generals in the city could drink as much as they wanted.
And the handsome yamen of Ping'an Prefecture's Jiedushi——
Jia Heng went to take a bath first, and at the same time washed away the bloody smell of the fight. Then he changed into a brand-new python suit, went to the study, and finished writing a memorial to report his victory.
Immediately, he took a stack of books placed in the corner of the eucalyptus. These were the casualties and final results of the Beijing camp collected by the various camps.
In this battle, the Han army defeated more than 6,000 Jurchen Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner and Xianglan Banner. If they combined the Mongolian elite cavalry and attendants, the number of enemies annihilated should be 8,000.
Of course these are not important, the key is that Huang Taiji died in the first battle!
This is an achievement that no number of Jurchen elites can match. It can be said that the great shame of the fall of Liaodong during the Longzhi period has washed away the humiliation of nearly 20 to 30 years.
And when this memorandum of meritorious deeds was delivered to the capital together with the news of victory from the Red Feather Messenger, it can be expected that it would cause shock in the capital and even the great Han Dynasty.
Just when Jia Heng was thinking about it, as a fragrant wind floated, Chen Xiao opened the curtain and came out of the inner compartment. His crystal clear eyes under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows overflowed with joy, and his voice was cold and sweet: "The food is ready.
Yes, let’s eat some together later.”
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked at the girl who had changed into a green dress and had her lush hair tied into a beautiful bun. Her temperament was pure and beautiful, just like the Tianshan snow lotus standing proudly on top of Kunlun.
Jia Heng asked: "Xiaoxiao, did you cook it yourself?"
I didn't see Chen Xiao when I came back from the outside just now. She obviously went to the kitchen to cook. The slightly damp hair next to her fair neck and the green skirt also looked like she had just taken a shower.
Under Chen Xiao's eyebrows, his bright eyes were clear and smart, and he said softly: "I always eat the coarse food of the army, and it is inevitable that I will be lonely. I will cook some dishes for you today."
Jia Heng nodded and said with a smile: "Well, let's go, I'm just a little hungry."
The two of them arrived at the back house of Jieshuai Yamen one after another. At this moment, the candlelight in the wing was bright and bright.
On a bamboo brocade screen embroidered with peonies, the two figures are projected on it.
Jia Heng looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the dining table, which were all delicious and delicious. He walked closer and said, "Xiaoxiao's craftsmanship is really good."
Seeing the young man's praise, Chen Xiao's cold face flashed with joy, she licked her lips and said, "I haven't done it for a long time, and my skills are a bit rusty. Sit down and eat."
As the two of them talked, they came to sit down at the dining table. Jia Heng picked up a pair of kuai, picked up a piece of sweet and sour carp, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and praised it: "This fish is cooked well."
In fact, he wanted to eat Xiaoxiao's big snow pear, which was sweet and delicious.
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered under her beautiful eyebrows and asked: "After this battle, can we return to the capital?"
Jia Heng said: "I have just ordered the guards of Jinyi Mansion to send a message to Xie Zaiyi, encircle the invading Hauge and Yue Tuo's troops, and annihilate the enemies in Hebei and other places. In addition, Datong will also bring out Hongyi cannons to help the besieged city."
The Jurchen bannermen who attacked met with a head-on attack."
In fact, the Han army in Datong could take advantage of the Qing army's shock and low morale to launch a counterattack, but at this moment the Jurchen soldiers and horses had become a sad army.
With the ability of Wei Qi and Cai Quan to lead the troops, or the combat power of the Han army, it was not suitable to go out of the city to counterattack.
The two victories so far were one of defeating Jilhalang's elite cavalry with a greater number and a smaller number, and the other was a surprise attack that just relied on the secret weapon Hongyi cannon.
There is a big gap between the real combat power of the Han army and that of the Jurchens.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao put down Kuai Zi, with a look of thoughtfulness on his face, and said: "The Jurchens have received news of the defeat of Ping'an Prefecture, and they will probably withdraw their troops."
Jia Heng muttered: "After this war, the stalemate between the Han and the Jurchens has come to an end. The Jurchens have suffered this calamity, and there will be no more fighting for at least a year."
This was the stage of stalemate with the enemy mentioned in his original "Pinglu Ce". Now this battle is enough to keep the Jurchens honest for one or two years.
Even the leader of a country died in the Han Dynasty. The Jurchens will definitely have to lick their wounds for a while, but at the same time, the Jurchens will also reshape people's hearts with hatred.
Of course, during this process, the Han Dynasty will not attack rashly. The current Han Dynasty does not have the conditions to conquer Liaodong and regain the lost territory.
In fact, from the current point of view, the female main force has not been greatly damaged. It can only be said that it has been severely damaged, especially the defeat of the elite troops of Xianglan Banner and Zhenghuang Banner.
But overall, it has not yet reached the point of shaking the country's foundation.
As for Huang Taiji's death in Ping'an Prefecture, in addition to being a national shame, Huang Taiji was already over sixty years old. If the history of parallel time and space is followed, Huang Taiji should have left Hexi a few years ago.
Moreover, without Huang Taiji, a young and powerful Dorgon came to the Jurchen leadership.
Therefore, from the strategic point of view of the decisive victory between the two countries, this current victory does not yet have the significance of the final battle in the finale of the Han Dynasty War.
Chen Xiao thought for a moment, his clear eyes flashed, and he reminded: "After this battle, there will be no doubt that there is suspicion in the capital."
The Kuai Zi in Jia Heng's hand paused for a moment, but he understood what Chen Xiao meant. He stared into the beauty's clear eyes and said, "Now that Liaodong has not been restored and the Jurchens have not been exterminated, it is too early to talk about the situation of all the birds hiding behind their bows."
Where are we now? But with the death of one Huang Taiji, the Jurchens still have 80% of their strength and still have the power to invade the south. The Han army has just changed from passive defense to active defense, and the overall strength comparison has not changed.
Chen Xiao said: "After the death of Huang Taiji this time, will the Jurchens cause chaos? If the imperial court asks you to lead troops to conquer Liaodong, how will you respond?"
After Huang Taiji was shot, the officials of the Han Dynasty, who were immersed in great ecstasy, might be dazzled by the victory and let Jia Heng lead the army to conquer Liaodong and regain the lost territory.
"That's not the case. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Jurchens have not lost their elite troops and still have the power to mobilize. It's time for me, a big man, to recuperate and get rid of old disadvantages with a great victory." Jia Heng said softly.
Although the elite Eight Banners of the Jurchens were decorated with blue flags and the yellow flags were disabled, the Jurchens could still recruit soldiers to supplement the Eight Banners. This was what he said earlier that their vitality was severely damaged, but the foundation was not damaged.
Jia Heng muttered: "According to the intelligence of Jurchen senior officials compiled by the detectives in Liaodong, Huang Taiji is old and has not yet established a crown prince. The eldest son Hauge is brave and good at fighting, but due to his violent temperament, he does not like Huang Taiji. Dole
"Gun has outstanding military exploits and is known as the emperor's younger brother. After the Jurchens returned from defeat this time, there will be some internal fighting. I concluded that Dorgon may be in charge of the Jurchen government. This person is no better than the emperor to deal with."
These are all things that happened in the history of parallel time and space. Hauge was a brave and reckless man. In the end, after a fight between all parties, Fulin came to the throne and Dorgon assisted in the government.
Of course, now that Huang Taiji has died tragically, it is hard to say whether things will continue to develop in parallel time and space.
A trace of thought appeared on Chen Xiao's crystal-clear jade face, and she whispered: "The Jurchens caused trouble to Xiao Qiang, can we divide and provoke them?"
"The Jurchens are now at a critical stage of survival. We may unite as one to overcome the difficulties, but we cannot expect to fall apart." Jia Heng said with a thoughtful look on his face, stretched out his hand to grab the girl's bare hand, smiled and said: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now.
That’s it, let’s eat the food first.”
With that said, Jia Heng and Chen Xiao finished their dinner, looked at the beautiful girl, hugged her in their arms, and said with a chuckle: "Don't put away the bowl, hurry up and talk to me for a while."
With that said, he took Chen Xiao's bare hand, and with the girl's blushing cheeks, he came to the bed and sat down, holding the slim and graceful Chen Xiao in his arms.
A flash of panic flashed through Chen Xiao Xiuli's clear eyes under her eyebrows. She gently broke away from Jia Heng's hand around her waist and said shyly, "Don't do this."
Jia Heng put his head close to Chen Xiao's ear, smelled the sweet fragrance flowing from his hair, and said softly: "I have been busy fighting recently and haven't even been intimate together. I miss you a little."
Chen Xiaorong's face was filled with red clouds, and her clear and clear eyes contained a hint of shame, and she said in a clear voice: "Aren't you going to reward the generals in the labor camp later?"
Jia Heng said: "It won't be too late when we get there. I'll reward my family Xiaoxiao first."
Chen Xiao: "..."
Fangxin was ashamed and annoyed. She hit Jia Heng's leg with her pink fist and said angrily: "If you don't reward your hard work, you will be in trouble all day long."
What does this person think she is? Why treat her so well?
However, it was indeed harder for her to fight with him during this period.
Jia Heng came close to the fragrant and jade-skinned cheek, kissed her, gently caressed the delicate skin of her jade hands, feeling the softness on her fingertips, and said warmly: "Xiaoxiao, when I return to Beijing, most of the people in the palace will ask about you.
At that time, I told you that I met you when I was in the capital, and I only found out your identity later in Jiangnan, so let’s talk to each other.”
"Yeah." Chen Xiao whispered with his cheeks as red as drunkenness, and quickly grabbed Jia Heng's hand that reached into his clothes.
Suddenly, he saw the warm and intimate breath of that person approaching, touching his lips, and said "嘤嘤", but he didn't push it away.
The two have been close many times, but they have not seen each other during this period due to the war. Although they have not been close in recent months, there is no sense of unfamiliarity at all.
Jia Heng looked at the girl with curved eyelashes and trembling eyes, and said: "When we go back this time, there should be no fighting for a year and a half."
The Jurchens have to lick their wounds for a year. There may not be such a war in the north, but the Han Dynasty may not be at peace. The king of Xining County in Qinghai has passed away, and the various tribes may cause chaos.
Chen Xiaobei bit her lower lip and said in a complex tone: "When your master returns to the court, the person in the palace will probably marry you in Xianning. This time Huang Taiji's head will be enough to overcome all objections."
Since Jia Heng took command and led the army, he has achieved brilliant results in two battles, especially the artillery attack on Huang Taiji, which is a military exploit that has shocked the past and present and is shining in the annals of history.
It is undoubtedly the most appropriate way to use this to block the Tian family's mouth to marry the imperial daughter and princess of the clan, as well as the two houses of Rong and Ning.
Jia Heng leaned closer to the tender-skinned face and captured a hint of envy and loneliness in the deepest part of the girl's heart. He chuckled and said, "Why don't you ask the Holy One to marry you to me?"
Chen Xiao: "..."
"A princess, two princesses, and the daughter of the clan, are you allowed to do it all?" Chen Xiao's voice trembled slightly, and when he was about to say something, his delicate body suddenly trembled.
He stared at the young man lying in front of him with a look of shame and annoyance.
Jia Heng looked at the lake and said unclearly: "It doesn't seem to be a good idea, so I'll leave it to the future."
"I should be able to make him a duke this time." Chen Xiao closed his eyes slightly and let the young man do what he did. However, the snowy cheeks were already as bright as the sunset, and they were no longer as cold as before.
"I guess he's not a first-class gentleman yet." Jia Heng Xueling said in a low voice with plum blossoms in his cheeks.
Killing Huang Taiji by gunfire was enough to get Xianning and Chanyue to marry him and suppress all objections, but the title would probably be reduced to the third class in due course.
Otherwise, only by relying on the great fortune of cannon-killing the captive chieftain and being granted the title of first-class Duke can the merit be rewarded.
However, the first, second and third ranks of a duke are nothing more than the difference between the agreed number of inheritances and the speed of reduction. The difference in rank between the duke and the duke himself is not that big.
In fact, Nian Gengyao in history was not granted the title of first-class Duke all of a sudden, but was first granted the title of third-class Duke.
Well, this person is ominous.
In short, it is obviously not qualified to be promoted to the title of county king in a short period of time, because the title of county king has no rank, is hereditary, and is separated from the country. Therefore, during the Chongping Dynasty, he had predicted that he would be eligible only if Liaodong was annihilated.
Enough.
In short, there is no doubt that the duke and his wife are the duchess of the country.
Under the Chen-Han Dynasty, there were four princes and eight princes, and the only young prince alive was already a rising political flag.
Chen Xiao's snow-like cheeks were flushed intoxicatingly, and her delicate body was trembling slightly. She was originally a girl as cold as a dragon woman, but at this moment, there was almost a layer of rose-red flesh on her jade face and delicate neck.
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Chen Xiao, whose eyes were bright and shy, and chuckled: "Xiaoxiao, this time it's all thanks to the Hongyi cannon."
When it came to the girl's lips, she just pressed them.
Chen Xiao felt embarrassed and suddenly pushed Jia Heng away. He saw the dew mist after being sucked with his clear eyes. His pink lips slightly opened and he scolded: "The war has just ended. How can you behave like this?"
Decency."
Who would have thought that the young man who had commanded Ruo Ding during the war would be like a child, completely different from the other two.
Jia Heng pulled Chen Xiao over, lay down, and said softly: "For the past month, it has been like a string being tightened. Now I can relax a little. We will return to Datong early tomorrow morning."
In fact, after Huang Taiji was shot, the Jurchens' southern invasion was unsustainable, and withdrawal was the only option.
Any kind of revenge is based on emotion and is unrealistic.
Chen Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the young man who was undoing his belt with dexterous fingers like butterflies. His face was as white as snow and as red as blood, and he said in a trembling voice: "Tomorrow we have to go to Datong. After we return to Beijing..."
The last sound was like a mosquito, which seemed a little embarrassing.
Jia Heng said: "???"
Then what are you doing taking a shower and changing clothes? He originally thought he could bombard Ping'an Prefecture.
Jia Heng thought for a while, sighed and said, "The atmosphere has become so tense."
He always respects Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Chen Xiao's cheeks flushed with shame and her lips pursed in silence, Jia Heng thought for a while and said, "That's okay. When you get married to Xianning, she will visit you in the bridal chamber, and the maid in the palace will check the wedding ceremony.
"
Chen Xiao: "..."
Are you really sure that Xianning is generous?
"Will Xianning agree?" The girl was obviously a little moved, and there was a little weirdness in her heart.
Jia Heng took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Chen Xiao's shoulders, kissed the pink and smooth skin of her face, looked at the girl who had come with him all the way from north to south, his heart was full of love, and whispered: "Xianning, she is here
While you're watching, when the time comes you put on your wedding clothes and we'll be considered married."
When Chen Xiao heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, her clear eyes under her beautiful eyebrows flashed, as if she was hesitating, and finally she said "hmm" and agreed.
You may never get married to him in this life.
At this time, Jia Heng took the girl's slender hand, led her towards her, and said, "Xiaoxiao, what should I do now?"
"What...what should I do?" Chen Xiao looked stunned at first, and then retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted. His beautiful features, as pure as the cold moon and cold peaks, were covered with a layer of shame.
Jia Heng whispered: "You have seen a lot, but you don't have the intention to try it yourself..."
Chen Xiao's cheeks were suddenly covered with a layer of shame and anger, and he spat: "You, you are a dirty bitch."
Jia Heng's eyes flickered, he looked at Daxueli, and said, "How about..."
Chen Xiao turned her head aside and gently lifted a strand of hair from her ear. The earrings on her earlobes shone brightly under the light. After all, she couldn't resist Jia Heng's plea and had to comply.
…
…
Not to mention that Jia Heng went up Liangshan on a snowy night in Leopard Head, Ping'an Prefecture, but he said that in the vast grassland, a bright moon as bright as silver shone in the sky, and the mountains in the wilderness were rolling, and accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves, the cavalry cavalry rumbled
And passed, crossed the mountain pass.
It was already Haishi, and the spring breeze in early March was already a bit warm, and the general accompanying Jierhalang said: "Your Majesty, take a rest, you guys can't stand it anymore."
"Your Majesty, the Han army is not pursuing us anymore," another general said.
When Jierharan heard this, his frightened face suddenly became confused. For some reason, he felt that these words were vaguely familiar.
But without thinking deeply, he could only say dejectedly: "All armies dismount and rest."
As Jirharang gave the order, the cavalry behind them gradually stopped speed, and the tired and exhausted Jurchen knights also turned over and dismounted, lying on the grass, breathing heavily.
Jilharang was not much better at the moment. He was lying on the lawn with tears on his face and his heart was like a knife.
"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial." Jierhalang was so sad at this moment that he almost burst into tears. And crying in the silent night at this moment undoubtedly infected more soldiers and attendants around him.
Suddenly, there were cries everywhere, almost howling.
On the grassland under the bright moon, the Jurchen flags with yellow flags and flags with blue flags were wailing uncontrollably, forming a spectacular scene, like a pack of wolves that had lost its first wolf, sad and desolate.
"Count the soldiers." As the commander beside Jierhalang gave the order, a staff leader had already led the soldiers to count the cavalry.
The number of soldiers who died in this battle has gradually been calculated.
Of the 7,500 men in the Zhenghuang Banner, only over 3,000 were left, while the Xianglan Banner, which had been crippled, had only 2,000 men left, having lost nearly half of its troops in the previous battle at Ping'an Prefecture.
The deputy commander next to Jierhalang said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent task now is to inform Prince Rui on the Datong side and Prince Li on the eastern front that they need to withdraw their troops."
Jierhalang said dejectedly: "Now that the emperor is dead in Han, how can I have the face to see them?"
At this moment, Jierhalang did not draw his sword to commit suicide. The huge grief swallowed up his heart. Instead, after the sadness, he fell into a strange calm.
…
…
Pingan Prefecture
The night was already dark, but the shadows of the candles in the wing were swaying red, the curtains hung down to cover the bed, and the orange candlelight filled the room like water.
Chen Xiao raised his head with disheveled temples and stared at the young man. His jade-white cheeks were already as red as red apples. He coughed, and his voice was less cold than before, but a little greasy, and he said angrily.
: "You...you did it on purpose."
Jia Heng took Chen Xiao's hand and whispered: "It's not like you don't know. You've always been like that. How about I take care of you later?"
Chen Xiao: "..."
As Chen Xiao, who has witnessed Jia Heng countless times, he naturally knows what Jia Heng’s so-called serving is all about?
He let out a grunt, but neither responded nor responded.
Jia Heng filled the tea cup from the table on the side. He met the girl's misty gaze and said softly: "It's okay over there in Datong. I don't expect to go deep into the grassland to pursue the Jurchens. Those who invaded Yanzhao
Hauge, Yue Tuo and others must at least tear off a piece of their flesh."
He had already mentioned this matter to Xie Zaiyi before, and decided to send additional troops to the direction of Beiping Prefecture as appropriate. In fact, it was probably impossible to retain the Jurchen cavalry.
Because the Han army besieging the Jurchen cavalry, in addition to troops from the Xuanhua City direction, there were also troops from Hebei, making it extremely easy for the Jurchen cavalry to break through.
Chen Xiao reached out and took the tea cup Jia Heng handed him and rinsed it. He endured the unspeakable shame and said in a quiet voice: "If we send troops from Datong, we won't be able to make it now. The Jurchen bannermen want to escape, and the Han army probably won't be able to make it."
It can't be stopped."
Jia Heng nodded, took the tea cup aside and said, "That's the reason, so I'll rest here in Ping'an Prefecture for one night."
As he said that, he pulled the quilt over the two of them and hugged each other: "Okay, let's rest early today. We have things to do tomorrow."
Sleeping with Jia Heng for the first time, Chen Xiao felt shy, but his slender and beautiful eyebrows had a hint of coldness, and he coldly snorted: "Where is your service?"
"What kind of service?" Jia Heng whispered, and suddenly chuckled: "I think you want to take revenge?"
Chen Xiao: "???"
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he clenched his pink fist and beat Jia Heng on the shoulder, and said angrily: "Everyone is just like you."
But at this moment, Fangxin was startled. It was clear that the young man had already glimpsed him as he had seen before, and immediately a wave of shock came over him that bit into his heart.
After a long time, Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao, who had already hidden his head under the quilt, and laughed in a low voice: "Let me tell you, under the boundless falling trees, the endless Yangtze River is rolling."
When Chen Xiao heard this, her delicate body that was originally trembling opened a bright eye and said feebly: "Keep talking nonsense."
Jia Heng held Chen Xiao's soft and delicate catkin, chuckled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's take a rest."
Xiaoxiao's figure is undoubtedly slim and fit, especially her pair of beautiful legs that are not inferior to Xianning's. It would be a pity not to ride three wheels.
Chen Xiao put her head against Jia Heng's chest, feeling the powerful heartbeat, and gradually felt a sense of peace in her heart. She didn't feel her eyelids were heavy and fell asleep peacefully.
