It’s late May, and although it’s not the dog days of summer, it’s still the unbearable summer season.
In the dragon tent where Su Mingzhe lived, a large basin of water was placed behind the screen for Su Mingzhe to take a bath at any time.
When Ding Baiying faced the man's invitation, she wanted to refuse it. After all, she still knew that there were differences between men and women.
But it’s really hard to go out when you look dirty and smelly.
In addition, just now Su Mingzhe sent someone to give Qi Jiajun more than a thousand extremely effective elixirs. This is a huge kindness.
At this time, let alone Su Mingzhe, he may not have anything on his mind.
Even if there were, Ding Baiying wouldn't be able to resist.
After thinking for a moment, Ding Baiying thanked her, went behind the screen, began to undress and take a bath.
"Well, she is indeed a woman who practices martial arts. She doesn't have any fat on her body and her belly is so flat..."
Su Mingzhe glanced twice with his consciousness and saw Ding Baiying starting to apply soap beans, then he looked away and started chatting with Ding Baiying across the screen.
Ding Baiying didn't know what to talk about with the man, so he casually talked about the current situation of Qi Jiajun.
When the Qi family army was founded, its number was four thousand.
The largest number of soldiers should be during the period of Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng, when the number of regular troops reached 12,000.
In addition to these 12,000 regular troops, there were also 100,000 Jiangnan soldiers who followed Qi Jiguang's orders to guard Jiliao.
Later, Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and the Qi Army was split up. In the end, only 4,000 Qi Army soldiers remained at the border.
Moreover, the Ministry of War used "ancestral military households" as an excuse to not allow the Qi Army to recruit new soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, forty years passed.
There are not many old soldiers left in the Qi Jiajun. Most of the more than 2,000 Qi Jiajun today are descendants of the former Qi Jiajun.
Ding Yi's grandfather used to be a miner. During the Jiajing period, he was recruited by Qi Jiguang to become the first generation of Qi Jiajun.
Ding Yi is the third generation of Qi Jiajun,
By the time we got to Ding Baiying, it was already **.
During the conversation, Ding Baiying took a bath quickly and prepared to put on clothes. Then she remembered that her clothes were also stained with dirt and it was inconvenient to wear them again.
"Miss Ding, do you want to get dressed? Look, there are my clothes on the shelf next to you. How about you just wear them first?"
Su Mingzhe is five or six inches taller than Ding Baiying.
When Ding Baiying wears it, it looks wide and loose.
Fortunately, she was a warrior, so she tightened her cuffs and trouser legs with a few straps, and folded her waist with a belt.
In this way, although the gown is still relatively loose, it reveals a somewhat refreshing and free-spirited temperament.
Ding Baiying arranged her gown, disheveled her hair, and walked out.
"Miss Ding, please sit down and drink tea with me again!"
Su Mingzhe looked at the woman's fair and smooth face and felt a little wary for a moment.
After bathing, a woman's skin is as smooth as water, pink and red, and very cute.
After leaving Jinling for more than half a month, Su Mingzhe's resistance to beautiful women has weakened a little.
As a warrior, Ding Baiying has a keen sense of perception. When Su Mingzhe kept looking at her, she noticed it. For a moment, she felt a little shy.
Over the years, she followed her father on various expeditions and spent many years in military camps. It was not like she had never been stared at by men with naked eyes.
But how can those men compare to Su Mingzhe?
"The dignified General Ding, are you so shy?"
Su Mingzhe wanted to chat more with Ding Baiying, but when he saw her sitting on a stool three feet away from him, he became dissatisfied.
It's so far away, who are you guarding against?
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, I should go back!"
Ding Baiying felt that something would happen if she stayed any longer, so when her hair was a little dry, she tied it up with a hosta and stood up to leave.
It was hard for Su Mingzhe to persuade him to stay, so he had to say dryly:
"When Miss Ding goes back, don't worry. I believe that General Ding will come back safe and sound after leaving the country this time!"
Three days later.
The army is about to set off.
Ding Baiying obeyed the order and stood on the city gate tower to watch the army leave.
When the army went out for battle, hundreds of scouts should have been released.
However, Su Mingzhe not only did not release the scouts, but instead led three thousand Han generals to take the lead and galloped away into the distance.
The remaining 100,000 troops could only follow closely behind.
Three days later.
The 100,000-strong army saw bursts of green smoke rising from the horizon.
When the army arrived, they saw a Jingguan about one foot high piled up on the grassland. In addition, eight thousand men, women, and children were captured.
After handing over the prisoners, Su Mingzhe and the Han general set out again.
The following month.
Su Mingzhe led three thousand Han generals to defeat seven grassland tribes, killing 30,000 enemies, capturing 50,000, and countless cattle, horses and sheep.
Last year, the Jurchens swept one side of the grassland, and now the Emperor of the Central Plains came to sweep the grassland again.
The chief of the prairie tribe almost cried to death.
Why is it that when the Central Plains court and Jianzhou Jurchens fight, the Mongols from the grassland always get beaten first!
At this moment, the leaders of the Jurchen Eight Banners who were far away in the Horqin Grassland were having a meeting.
After Su Mingzhe's army entered the grassland, he had no intention of concealing his traces.
So, a month passed, and the Jurchens and Mongol people on the grassland all knew that the Emperor of the Central Plains was coming with his army.
In order not to be defeated by each one, the Jurchens immediately asked Horqin Beilemangus to blow the assembly horn.
The Mongol tribes that were originally scattered on the Horqin grassland gathered together in just a few days.
Daishan looked at the endless yurts that stretched for more than ten years, and he was not only ambitious:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue!
"Eighth brother, have you inquired clearly? Did the Han emperor really only bring 100,000 people with him?"
"Yes, there are indeed only 100,000 people. This is the news from the Fan family. It is absolutely true. 50,000 of them are Mongols and 50,000 Central Plains frontier troops."
Huang Taiji, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, also felt that the Jurchens' luck had come, so he knelt down and asked for a fight:
"Second brother, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come again! Don't wait any longer, give the order as soon as possible! Otherwise, the Han emperor realizes something is wrong and runs back, and we will have to attack the Great Wall to avenge him!"
The other Eight Banners leaders also knelt down and remonstrated in unison.
"Please give the Great Khan an order to avenge my wife and children!"
Last year, Yuan Chonghuan made a sneak attack on Jianzhou and brought down the entire "Dajin" rear.
Except for Amin who surrendered and his family was saved, the wives, children, and children of the other Eight Banners leaders were all sent to Jinling City as slaves and imprisoned.
"Okay, notify the Mongols and gather the entire army. We will leave the Emperor of the Central Plains in Horqin!"
Horqin is Nurhaci’s in-laws.
Zhezhe, the daughter of Horqin Bellemangus, is Huang Taiji's official wife and has just given birth to a daughter for Huang Taiji.
Because Jianzhou was destroyed by Yuan Chonghuan, after the Jurchens conquered the grassland, they did not return to Jianzhou, but stayed with the Horqin tribe in the grassland to recuperate.
This year, Daishan summoned the Tatars that he had conquered and prepared to join forces to attack the Central Plains Dynasty.
Now, most of the Tatars have arrived near the Horqin tribe and are ready to gather.
With the sound of the horn blowing on the grassland.
the other side.
Su Mingzhe led the Han general and could not find any trace of the enemy for ten consecutive days.
The 100,000 troops following him regrouped and reported to Su Mingzhe:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the scouts, all the Tatars have gone to the Horqin tribe and gathered with the Jurchens. Now there are more than 300,000 troops and millions of livestock..."
When Su Mingzhe heard the report, he smiled at the serious Ding Yi and said, "General Ding, you will have to work hard for the next decisive battle!"
