() "Back to Your Majesty, the General Qin soldiers encountered in Kaifeng Prefecture, a total of 9,05 soldiers and horses came out of Sichuan. They marched in a hurry for several days, resulting in drowning and death along the way. At this time, there were still 8,920 people."
"Okay, okay, send me my decree immediately and order the officials along the road to provide all the needs for the army to cross the border. Anyone who neglects to obstruct it will be dismissed from their posts and investigated." Emperor Chongzhen ordered quickly.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally the expected main field force arrived, and it arrived faster than expected. What an unexpected surprise! Emperor Chongzhen's depressed mood in the past few days was swept away, and he was full of positive energy.
"Your Majesty, it will take about a month for the army to get from Kaifeng Mansion to the capital. I will go back immediately to adjust the deployment. During this period, I will intensify the harassment of the Jianlu and make the Jianlu not peaceful. As soon as the General Qin soldiers arrive in the capital,
After a short rest, we will cut off the retreat route of the main force of the Jianlu forces, and strive to defeat the Jianlu forces in the pass in one fell swoop so that they will never come back." Sun Chengzong summed up the latest situation in his mind and reported it to Emperor Chongzhen.
"Okay, Master Sun, go quickly." Emperor Chongzhen naturally had no reason not to agree.
Sun Chengzong then resigned, and when he was about to leave the palace, Emperor Chongzhen's voice came from behind him again: "Master Sun, remember to ensure the safety of Master Zhong."
Sun Chengzong was slightly startled after hearing this, then turned around and loudly said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Uncle Zhongxing will be fine."
The commander of the Jinyiwei Yamen, Luo Yangxing, was despised by the civil servants. He was already angry with the humiliation, and his actions these days have stabilized the East Factory. He wanted to stop here, but found that the situation was a little out of his control.
And there are some bad signs.
He knew that if he just arrested these senior civil servants, it would be nothing, but now the names of military generals appeared in the confessions of several people. Now the army is fighting Jianlu, and he wants to make King Qin's army unstable.
If a mutiny breaks out, you may be the one who takes the blame in the end.
He worked hard to control the content of the confession, and instructed the Jin Yiwei in charge of the torture to control the content of the confession and try not to involve the military.
Luo Yangxing can still control the situation on Jinyiwei's side for the time being, but the Dali Temple side is no longer under his control. More and more suspects have been sent over by Jinyiwei, and under the supervision of Dongchang, there are also some
There have been a lot of corrupt officials. Although they cannot compare with Jin Yiwei, there are still a lot of them.
He didn't know if Dongchang had discovered that he wanted to compete with them, and was secretly competing with himself to see who could do things better.
The more Luo Yangxing thought about it, the more he felt that the anti-corruption matter should end here, but he did not dare to tell the emperor himself. He thought for a while, dealt with the urgent matter at hand, and went to the cabinet to see the chief minister.
The best way to end this matter is to explain the seriousness of it to the chief minister, and let him advise the emperor and coordinate all parties to stop it.
Unexpectedly, his visit to the cabinet would be useless. The first minister of the Ming Dynasty took his cabinet ministers to visit the first large-scale new cement kiln that had just been completed, leaving only Zhou Yanru as a cabinet minister to take turns in the cabinet.
Luo Yangxing had no choice but to reveal this intention to Zhou Yanru. Whether Zhou Yanru went to advise the emperor or conveyed it to the chief minister, he could achieve his goal.
Zhou Yanru was noncommittal after hearing this, and just told him that he would tell the chief assistant and let him make the decision. Luo Yangxing had no choice but to go back and wait for news to see if the chief assistant would come forward to clean up the mess.
After Luo Yangxing left, Zhou Yanru sat on a chair and thought about it secretly.
Logically speaking, Luo Yangxing's idea is a good one, and there is great hope that one of the largest anti-corruption cases since the founding of the Ming Dynasty will be brought to an end. But if it ends like this, those officials who have been arrested will be unlucky.
.
Unfortunately, among the corrupt officials who were arrested, several had old relationships with Zhou Yanru. Therefore, Zhou Yanru did not want to close the case in this way.
Now, the initiator of the matter, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is a little scared. But the emperor is not afraid yet. Judging from what the chief assistant said when he came back two days ago, the emperor wants to catch all the corrupt officials in one go.
Zhou Yanru thought along this line of thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Yes, if the emperor wants to eat a fat man in one bite, then the emperor cannot eat it and spit it out together with what has fallen into his mouth. The emperor is not afraid now, so let the emperor
I am also afraid that the matter will go unsolved. The principle that the law does not punish the public is universal in ancient and modern times.
Zhou Yanru thought of this and smiled proudly. With a specific goal, it is very easy to achieve it. Just go to a few places and reveal the meaning a little bit.
He believed that many people would welcome his idea, because in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, few people were clean. Everyone was afraid that they would be implicated next.
Besides, Huang Taiji also got up early that day, walking in the courtyard of the original magistrate's office in Yongping City, thinking about his future arrangements.
Although the north wind is blowing, Huang Taiji is not afraid at all. He likes to have the cold wind blowing on his mind when he is thinking about problems, so that his thoughts will be clearer and his thoughts will be more comprehensive.
But this time, before he could think of anything, the personal guards came to report that someone from Zunhua City had military information.
When Huang Taiji heard that there was military information on one of the retreat routes of the army, he did not dare to neglect and summoned him immediately.
"Slave Fan Wencheng, I'm here to greet my master." As soon as the visitor entered the magistrate's hall, he saw Huang Taiji sitting at the top. He quickly waved his sleeves and knelt down to salute.
Huang Taiji looked at this slave with Han blood and big golden bones, who had disappeared for a few days, and was a little happy, and said: "Pingshen, what's the military situation in Zunhua?"
Fan Wencheng kowtowed again, then stood up and said: "Master, Deputy Chief Military Officer Wei Xian of Shanhai North Road led General Chen Weihan and guerrilla Zhang Qihua to attack Zunhua."
"Oh, there should be nothing going on in Zunhua. What are the details?" Seeing Fan Wencheng's calm look, Huang Taiji knew that nothing happened in Zunhua.
"Commander General Ying Erdai asked his slaves to defend the city first, and when the enemy was exhausted, he would leave the city to counterattack. The enemy general Chen Weihan fled first, and only Wei Xian fought to the death. After being killed by the slaves, the rest of the army collapsed, and they pursued for another twenty miles.
Kill Zhang Qihua."
When Fan Wencheng said this, he paused and added: "The heads of the two generals of the Ming Dynasty are outside, and the master can have them inspected."
Huang Taiji chuckled. Looking at Fan Wencheng's size, he knew that his force value would not be very low. He was very good, both civil and military. He said to Fan Wencheng: "No need, I can trust him."
"Master, the Ming Dynasty has begun to try to counterattack. I think this slave should send more troops back to defend Zunhua?" Fan Wencheng was thinking about Dai Jin.
Huang Taiji nodded. The Ming army that came this time was not very powerful. This does not mean that the Ming army that came next time was not very powerful. The number of troops left behind in Zunhua was a little less. So, he said to Fan Wencheng: "You
What you said makes sense, I have already considered it and will send some more troops there."
"Master, if you are brave, I would like to ask you to use me, the Golden Warrior. Those Mongolians are not very reliable in combat." Fan Wencheng knelt down and suggested to Huang Taiji again, showing a loyal look.
"Get up and speak. I know your worries. You may not know that the retreat route of the army is not just Zunhua. A few days ago, Qian'an was captured and Dalengkou was occupied. This place is also suitable for the army to leave.
." Huang Taiji briefly explained the current situation to Fan Wencheng.
"My master has great calculations and foresight, and my slave is far behind." Fan Wencheng immediately showed a look of admiration and flattered him with surprise.
Huang Taiji was very pleased and said to Fan Wencheng: "Since you are already here, you don't need to go back to Zunhua anymore. You can stay with me."
If this big man just stays with Huang Taiji, who knows what kind of bad ideas he will come up with!
Besides, outside Changli City, there were about 50,000 Jianlu and Mongol Tatar allied forces. The camp stretched for several miles, and it started to boil early in the morning.
Daishan convened various Mongolian leaders to hold a military meeting. This was a meeting he decided to convene temporarily.
Originally, in the previous day, Shan Shan was very happy to see the Mongolian servant army being ordered to attack the city. He let them take the casualties and just took the credit for capturing the Ming Dynasty city.
But when he was about to go to sleep, his mind changed again. Huang Taiji took the overall situation into account and sent these Mongols to avoid the casualties of the Dajin warriors, which gave him some inspiration.
Daishan was not a brainless person. He thought that if he ignored it and let the Mongols attack Changli, if they couldn't defeat it, the reputation of Daijin would actually be damaged.
Therefore, he could not just sit back and do nothing. He decided to tell these Mongolian servants some of the siege methods he had come up with and let them practice it. Maybe it would be effective. This was the purpose of holding a temporary meeting before the war.
