Qizhou is the famous medicine capital of the Ming Dynasty. Medicinal materials from all over the country are collected and distributed here. However, now that there is a war, it is difficult to find caravans selling medicine on the road.
The Yaowang Temple outside the county town was built in the second year of Yongle to worship the King of Medicine Pitong. In the past, when incense was very popular, drug dealers from all over the country must go to Yaowang Temple to offer incense whenever they came to Qizhou.
Ao Bai came. He was engaged in military affairs. He saw that this place was good and connected in all directions, which was convenient for cavalry. He ordered Yaowang Temple to be the location of the Chinese army. Naturally, no one dared to come here to offer incense.
In the Battle of Boye, the Ming army suffered heavy losses and lost 26,000 men. Including Wu Yingqi who came for reinforcements from behind, and Ma Ning's more than 10,000 troops, there were only more than 70,000 people left. Although the Qing army was in Boye
A small victory, but also a loss of 16,000 troops and horses, and there are still more than 100,000 people.
After retreating to Qizhou, Zhu Hengjia learned the lesson from the Battle of Boye and refused to leave, hoping to wait for the Qing army to run out of food.
Two months passed, and the Qing army gradually ran out of food. Unexpectedly, Obai was a ruthless man. In the name of herding horses, he plundered and raided grass and grain, causing great harm to the originally relatively wealthy Qizhou area.
However, some food was indeed obtained. Emperor Shunzhi tightened his belt again and mobilized the princes and dignitaries to donate money and food, and another batch of food was shipped. This made Zhu Hengjia's plan to wait for the enemy's food to be exhausted to collapse. When I was anxious and at my wits end, reinforcements arrived.
Fan Youxian, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Dingguo, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, arrived with 40,000 troops. This increased the number of the Ming army to more than 110,000, giving them the confidence to fight the Qing army again.
Reinforcements also came from Aobai. Angbang Zhangjing, Guarjia Bashan, led 7,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, and arrived day and night. The number of Qing troops also exceeded 110,000, which was comparable to the Ming army.
Both sides are quietly preparing and waiting for the decisive battle.

"Fan Qing!"
"Your Majesty!"
When golden maple and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world.
Zhu Hengjia and Fan Youxian, old brothers, had not seen each other for many years, but they gave Fan Youxian a dragon hug when they met.
The relationship between the two of them has always been very good. Fan Youxian is Zhu Hengjia's best friend and top Conglong hero. When Zhu Hengjia planned to supervise the country in Guilin, another Conglong hero, Guangxi Commander-in-Chief Yang Guowei, was a little hesitant and didn't dare.
Qian. It was Counselor Fan who held a waist knife and put it on Yang Guowei's neck to force Yang Guowei to show his attitude. When he was in Sichuan, Fan Youxian hunted a tiger and peeled off the tiger skin and presented it to Zhu Hengjia; Zhu Hengjia ate delicious food in the palace
Only eat half of the pastries, and the remaining half must be sent to Sichuan quickly for Fan Youxian to eat.
"Your Majesty, I miss you so much," Fan Youxian burst into tears after being hugged by the emperor.
"I also miss Fan Qing." Zhu Hengjia was also moved, crying and laughing, with tears and a blue nose.
The two showed their true feelings, which surprised and moved the other ministers.
He Wuzou, Zheng Feng and other important ministers hurriedly gave advice.
"Fan Gong, what are you doing? Disobeying the emperor is a serious crime." Zheng Feng secretly tugged on the corner of Fan Youxian's robe.
Fan Youxian just woke up and quickly apologized, "When I met Your Majesty, I couldn't help myself. I violated the rules before you. Please punish Your Majesty."
When people are happy, they tend to talk nonsense. Emperor Guangwu once said: "There are only brothers here, where are the monarchs and ministers?"
Damn, as soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the big tent. The evil feudal society has a strict hierarchy. The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. The imperial power is overbearing and overrides all human nature. No matter how good your relationship with the emperor is, see you
He also had to kneel. At any time, there were only monarchs and ministers, no brothers. The emperor said the opposite.
Fan Youxian immediately broke out in cold sweat. The emperor had said something wrong, and the only one to blame was the minister. He knelt down and begged again: "I am guilty of death!"
All the ministers knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please take back what you just said!"
Seeing the ministers kneeling on the ground, Zhu Hengjia immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing.
Fortunately, he came from a later time and had a very high emotional intelligence. He immediately said haha: "Your Majesty, please get up quickly. I said the wrong thing, and it's my fault. What are you waiting for? I'll look at it like this, and I'll wait for you.
During the banquet, how about I give myself a glass of wine as punishment for my faux pas just now?"
As soon as these words came out, the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared, and all the officials laughed out loud.
That night, Zhu Hengjia held a banquet in Qizhou City to entertain Fan Youxian and Li Dingguo generals who had come from afar.
After this drink, the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dim. Fan Youxian was drunk, Li Dingguo was drunk, Chen Bao was drunk... The great emperor Zhu Hengjia was also drunk, and he murmured "Wan'er" in his dream.
??
"Ahhun (Manchu: elder brother)!"
"Dou (Manchu: younger brother)!"
Half of the bright mirror is half a hairpin, and there is no place in this life where we will not meet each other.
The pair of Gualjia, Obai and Bashan, have finally reunited. They are distant relatives of the same clan and both are military commanders, so their relationship is naturally very good.
In the main tent of the Yaowang Temple of the Qing Army, Ao Bai gave a Manchu greeting as soon as he saw Bashan.
"Obai Ahun, I haven't seen you for many years, I really miss Bashan."
"Bashan, Ah Hui also misses the West (Manchu: you)!"
The Guarjia family produces strong generals, who naturally like to talk about military affairs. The two reminisced about old times and chatted about military affairs. Once they talked about military affairs, they no longer had brothers, only military positions.
Bashan asked Obai: "Commander, what is the combat strength and strength of the Ming army?"
Ao Bai said: "The Ming army has excellent armor and numerous firearms. It is a rare and powerful enemy. In terms of military strength, the Ming army from Shanxi arrived in Qizhou the day before yesterday. It should be similar to our army, both numbering around 110,000."<
/p>
"Then how do you plan to fight this battle?"
Ao Bai smiled, "I plan to use a weak army as bait to lure the Ming army out of the city and fight our army on the plain. Then I will block the middle army with infantry and attack its two wings with fine cavalry. In this way, I will be able to defeat the Ming army."
.
Bashan thought for a while and said: "The commander-in-chief's method is very good, but the false emperor has experienced hundreds of battles and is very cunning and cunning. I'm afraid he may not be successfully lured out of the city by our army?"
Oboi stroked his strong and bushy beard, "It doesn't matter, I have already thought of this. The false emperor likes to use the strong to attack the weak and kill the chicken with a bull's sword. He can make the general Yi Yonggui lead the army to the north.
Li Green Camp pretended to attack the city. North Zhili Green Camp was repeatedly defeated by the Ming army. When the puppet emperor saw that he was a defeated general, he would definitely leave the city to fight back. When the time comes, he ordered Yi Yonggui to retreat and lure him out of the city."
"Wonderful!"
Bashan attacked the festival and applauded, "The commander-in-chief's strategy of 'drawing the snake out' is flawless and will surely lure the false emperor out of the city."
??
On this day, Zhu Hengjia was taking a rest in the city. Suddenly, his bodyguard came to report that more than ten thousand Qing troops were attacking Beicheng. He hurriedly took his generals to Beicheng to watch the battle.
But under the northern city of Qizhou, the military flags were all green.
"Beizhili Green Camp?"
Zhu Hengjia burst into laughter. Most of the green camps of the Qing army in the North Zhili area were veterans of the Ming Dynasty's surrender. They were used to invading and surrendering, and they were used to surrendering captives. They gained a bad reputation as "cowardly" in history.
, when Hong Chengchou went south, he refused to ask for the green camp in North Zhili, but asked the Qing government to allocate green camps in Gansu, Shaanxi, Liaodong and other places.
If you look closely, you will see that many green flags have a big word "Yi" embroidered on them.
"Yi Yonggui? Hahaha!"
Zhu Hengjia burst into laughter, "How dare a defeated general come to die?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that there is fraud," Li Dingguo beside him said suddenly.
