In the early morning, the air in the mountains was fresh, and most of the soldiers in Guancheng were still sleeping. Chang Yu got up early and ran along the Great Wall with Qiao Sanxiu. He wanted to go to Wangjing Tower to admire the majestic figure, but it was too far away.
The two of them were sweating profusely after running for nearly ten miles. It was already sunrise when they turned back the same way. Many soldiers had already gotten up and the city was bustling again. Wang Yongji came to see Chang Yu with a worried look on his face: "Mr. Factory Supervisor, please excuse me."
Leave this place to supervise the construction of the pass. Please pass this to the Lord, the factory governor." He said and took out a letter.
At midnight Chang Yu led his troops to leave Gubeikou and return to Beijing, accompanied by soldiers and horses from Tang Tong and Ma Ke. The seriously injured soldiers and the 5,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp they had brought earlier stayed at Gubeikou, which puzzled many people.
The majestic Governor Ji Liao personally guards a fortress at the border? The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp responsible for guarding the capital are actually left in this wilderness?
The weather was still extremely hot, and the mountain road was rugged and the soldiers and horses were moving slowly. Chang Yu was bouncing like a rattle on his horse, sometimes he was silent in thought, sometimes he was chatting with his attendants, and sometimes he was hunting with his bow, but it was not that boring.
Yang E, the governor of Shuntian, also entered the capital with the army. He spoke little but kept his eyes on him all the way. The young eunuch observed secretly, but he could not understand more and more what kind of person he was. Some people said he was the God of War, others said he was a butcher. Sometimes he worked in
The heart is time-keeping and as simple as a child. This child is truly unfathomable.
At dusk, the army left the mountain and arrived outside Miyun City. Li Yan waited for a long time, and the first thing he said when they met was: "Are you happy?"
"Our family is happy, but some people don't seem so happy." He said and looked at the dejected Hao Yaoqi next to him.
"What's the wine jar? Did you get pricked on the hand?" Tu Yuan and Hao Yaoqi have become much closer in fighting side by side recently. He walked up and punched Hao Yaoqi, and Hao Yaoqi exclaimed: "I didn't even touch it and got pricked."
Ah, let’s just go hunting in the mountains with the factory supervisor.”
"What's the matter? It sounds like you don't like playing with the governor, so I won't take you with me next time," Chang Yu said deliberately. Hao Yaoqi quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, that's not what I mean by being humble. Playing with the governor is particularly enjoyable.
…”
Everyone laughed endlessly and joined hands in the city to hold a banquet to cleanse Ma Ke and Tang Tong. However, the conditions in the city only allowed them to have simple food and a few taels of wine.
"When I return to the capital, I will be the host. Congratulations!" The young eunuch waved his hand, and the generals were filled with joy.
At night, after having enough water and food, Chang Yu led dozens of soldiers to leave Miyun City. He wanted to go to Beijing overnight. As for the army, he would set out to return to the court tomorrow.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Huang Degong, who was seeing off at the city gate, sighed deeply at the little eunuch who disappeared into the night. Zhou Yuji also sighed: "We only need to march and fight. He has too many things to do besides that.
Don't forget, he is the chief eunuch of Dongchang."
"Hey, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. I always feel like...little brothers!" Huang Degong breathed out and looked at Zhou Yuji again: "Old Zhou, are we two brothers going to separate soon?"
"Maybe." Zhou Yuji withdrew his gaze from a distance: "Is it because you can't bear to leave me, old Zhou?".
Huang Degong chuckled: "A little bit."
"In this case, we two brothers will have to get very drunk when we return to Beijing."
"That's necessary." Huang Degong's hearty laughter could be heard far away in the night.
Chang Yu was rushing on the road under the starry sky, whipping his whip and running wildly, with the horse racing under his legs and the wind whistling in his ears. This feeling was even better than driving a sports car in his previous life.
Why is he in a hurry to return to Beijing?
As Zhou Yuji said, Dongchang has too much business, and leading troops to fight is just his side job. In addition, he also spy and collect intelligence, monitor officials to investigate corruption and even deal with civil affairs, etc. Especially after the war, how are the victims everywhere?
Letting the people in the disaster area have food to live and recuperate is the top priority, not to mention that at this time, the thief army in the Yangtze River area is causing chaos.
Chang Yu is full of energy and is always restless.
While he was galloping on his horse, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, a hundred miles away, was beaming with joy again. Even though it was late at night, the streets and alleys were still bustling with people, and the teahouses and restaurants were full and open.
This is again attributed to the Ming army's victory in the battle.
A few months ago, the Qing army was defeated in the capital and marched south. Although the capital was saved, the harm done by the Qing army within the territory still disturbed the nerves of countless people. Until a few days ago, the imperial court issued a notice, asking for peace and withdrawing troops from the country!
The whole city was in an uproar, and the prestige of Dongchang and the Ming army rose to a new level.
The day before yesterday, I heard that the Qing army arrived in Tongzhou and Shunyi and was forced to leave behind plundered baggage and compensate thousands of war horses before they could escape. Countless people took to the streets and shouted, "Be tough!"
The Ming Dynasty's army finally stood up!
In more than ten years, the Tatars entered the customs several times, each of which was a history of blood and tears that is difficult to write down. The Ming army was scolded for being weak and incompetent. Even though Emperor Chongzhen killed several generals, it still did not help.
But this time! The Ming army finally avenged its shame!
Not only the common people at the bottom felt proud, but the court officials and even the nobles in the capital also talked about it. Although many people were hostile to Chang Yu, they also admired the eunuch's ability from the bottom of his heart. Of course, he sighed in a way that he could not recognize.
I'm afraid I won't be able to move him anymore.
But the happiest person must be Emperor Chongzhen. It can be said that he has hardly slept in the past two days and has been in a state of excitement. When Wu Weiying returned to the capital from Tongzhou escort and entered the palace to report everything that happened there, Chongzhen
The emperor couldn't sit still. Chang Yu revealed to him that the Tatars would vomit as much as they ate. At that time, he was still worried about whether Dorgon would secede from the vassal state. He never thought that he would not only vomit it all but also pay compensation to the camp. This was simply unbelievable.
Already.
Chang Yu is really good at it!
But will the Tatars really compensate?
In the evening, when the Jin Yiwei brought what happened in Shunyi to the palace, Emperor Chongzhen could not restrain his excitement and immediately summoned the ministers of the cabinet to come to the palace to discuss matters. It was more of a show-off than a discussion, to show that he had a capable minister.
As expected, Li Banghua and others were shocked when they heard that Chang Yu actually asked for tens of thousands of war horses from the Qing army. They hurriedly congratulated Emperor Chongzhen. They admired the little eunuch's methods even more and took precautions before they happened.
Link one link after another, use force to force the opponent without using any force!
But the Tatars had returned the looted people and animals and paid compensation. Why did Chang Yu still supervise the army to go north to follow the Qing army? Could it be that he was worried that the Qing army would do something else?
"We'll know this tomorrow!" Emperor Chongzhen still gave it a try, but the ministers could tell from his joyful expression that the little eunuch must have some tricks up his sleeve.
But there was a dispute among the ministers. Wu Weiying said that Chang Yu wanted to exchange Azig for his ancestor's longevity, so why did he exchange a big fish for a guilty general who was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty?
You must know that being captured and surrendering are completely different things. In the eyes of the courtiers and even Emperor Chongzhen, Zu Dashou surrendered, which was an unforgivable crime! Although he also knew in his heart that Zu Dashou was really forced to do nothing.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know about the exchange of Azige for the longevity of his ancestors before. When he saw the quarrel among the ministers in the cabinet, he waved his hand and asked you to find out when you return to Beijing.
This made some people even more dissatisfied. Li Mingrui said directly: "The matter is so big that you have made your own decisions without going through the court or the emperor. This is an act of arbitrary power..."
Hey, Chongzhen smiled and said nothing. The chief assistant Li Banghua glared at Li Mingrui and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Eunuch Chang has always been resourceful and resourceful, and his ability to adapt to changes is unparalleled. Maybe he was just deceiving Dorgon at that time."
Emperor Chongzhen just couldn't listen to others saying bad things about Chang Yu. He was originally thinking about how to attack Li Mingrui, but when he saw his teacher Li Banghua coming to smooth things over, he gave it up and said, "Maybe we'll find out when he comes back!"
So on this day, Emperor Chongzhen jumped up and down out of control, anxiously waiting for Chang Yu to return to Beijing, and called Wu Mengming to him. I don't care, you quickly send someone to find out what Chang Yu has been doing and where he is...
It can be said that I have been talking about the little eunuch all day long.
Unfortunately, I received a message: Eunuch Chang went to Gubeikou, and the army was resting in Miyun!
Gubeikou..., the stars in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes are brighter than the real stars in the night sky, it's coming to an end, it's coming to an end.
