Chapter 141 Building the Beijing View

On August 20, the Qing troops withdrew from the Pass and martial law was lifted in the capital.

The two-month period of Qing troops entering and plundering the customs has come to an end.

King Lu Xiangshengqin's army abandoned the bandits, and as soon as they reached Zhen0ding, the news came from the capital that Dong Nu had crossed the border, and Lu Xiangsheng was asked to return to the original place to continue to suppress the bandits. However, it was too late at this time, and the bandits in the Central Plains

The thief sent away Lu Xiangsheng, the "King of Hell", and then went out to plunder and carry the people, and survived.

This time the Qing army entered the pass and poisoned the capital for a thousand miles. From Changping to below, the Qing army captured twelve major cities in prefectures and counties. Except for the battle of Fanjiazhuang, they won fifty-three battles. The Qing army captured 150,000 people and animals and returned to the pass.

The soldiers and horses of Qinwang in various towns of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to fight after following the Qing army. When Azige left the customs, he had people chop wood and write the four words "Officials are free of charge" and "Ride in beautiful clothes and return in triumph with music" to humiliate the Ming army.

Zhang Fengyi, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liang Tingdong, Governor-General of Xuan Dynasty, knew that they had the responsibility of guarding the country and guarding the country and could not avoid death. They took rhubarb every day in the army, and by this time they were already dying.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty was in a mess, with ruins and ruins everywhere after being looted, burned and killed by the Tatars, resulting in heavy losses.

Of course, in this gloom, there is still the bright spot of Fanjiazhuang's victory.

In one battle, 7,600 people were beheaded, shocking the world.

After the news of Fanjiazhuang's victory spread to various places, there was a lot of praise from all over the world. Especially the Donglin party members congratulated Shishou. He was originally a good political figure and belonged to Qingliu. At this time, he made great achievements and was praised by the gentry all over the world as a capable minister who knew the enemy well.

The emperor was also very optimistic about He Shishou, so he summoned him to the platform in Beijing to answer questions and gave him royal meals.

However, He Shishou's correct answer on the platform made the emperor very disappointed. His level of talking about military affairs was really not like that of a governor.

On August 22, Yanguli's body and the heads of more than 7,600 Tatars were brought to the capital. The emperor ordered that the heads of Dongnu be built in front of the imperial city as a palace for the capital. A large tree was erected to hang Yanguli up.

His body was left for the people of the capital to see.

The people in the capital were very excited when they learned about Fanjiazhuang's victory. Since the Saarhu period, the Ming army had been defeated in consecutive battles outside the Pass, and only relied on the Guanning defense line to maintain the empire's face. Houjin, or Qing Dynasty,

The army broke through the border several times, looted and plundered as if entering an uninhabited country, and killed countless people of the Ming Dynasty. When had the Ming army had such a proud victory?

This battle was heart-stirring and demonstrated the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty!

At this time, they heard that more than 7,000 Tatar heads were piled up in front of the imperial city to build a palace, and there was also the body of the Tatar Chaopin Gong. The people rushed to see it. For a time, the streets in the capital were deserted. The road in front of the imperial city was crowded.

The water was blocked, and the people grabbed stones and squeezed into the front of the imperial city, throwing stones at the heads of the Tatars.

"Damn you Tatars, watch me stone you to death!"

"Haha! If you dare to rob my Ming people, they will all lose their lives!"

"Now that the Tatars have suffered heavy losses, do they still dare to invade our Ming Dynasty and plunder them?"

"Look at the body of the Tatar Chaopin Gong, what a burly body!"

"My Ming Dynasty actually has such a powerful army and can kill so many Tatar heads!"

Emperor Zhu Youjian stood on the Chengtian Gate, looking at the Beijing and the people in the distance, silently.

News came quickly yesterday that Zhang Fengyi, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Liang Tingdong, Governor of Xuanda, had been taking rhubarb for a month for fear of being held accountable by the emperor. Both of them were already dying and could not return.

Chongzhen was a little speechless towards these two men. Both of them were considered talented soldiers, and he did not want to commit suicide out of fear of crime.

Originally, after the great victory in Tianjin came, Chongzhen would not kill these two people because the merits and demerits should be balanced. He would not even take away their positions. He would only demote them by one level as punishment. But there was no such thing.

Thinking that these two people did not believe that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty could achieve a great victory, they ate the rhubarb long ago. Although there was a victory, the lives of these two people were no longer able to save their lives.

However, although the two civil servants were half dead, they still wrote memorials to the emperor to congratulate the victory.

The question is, after the death of the two men, who will take over the vacant posts of Minister of War and Governor-General of Xuanda?

Originally, this was a great victory for Tianjin, and Chongzhen was very optimistic about He Shishou, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Tianjin Governor, and hoped that He Shishou would be able to take over the burden of the Ministry of War due to his outstanding ability. But yesterday, the platform answered correctly. He Shishou's remarks on military matters were empty, and he talked about morality in a long speech.

, which greatly disappointed the emperor.

Whenever he couldn't explain why, He Shishou began to say that the Hongyi cannons were sharp and the volleys of muskets were powerful, and asked the emperor to strengthen the management of the weapons bureau, which made the emperor wonder what he meant.

Only when the emperor asked about Tianjin's grain, wages and water transportation, He Shishou answered fluently and brilliantly.

The emperor knew from this that Governor He Shishou did not know how to fight with soldiers, but he was a talented man who managed money and food.

However, He Shishou's performance made Zhu Youjian confused. He Shishou didn't know the soldiers. How did Fanjiazhuang's great victory come about? With such a great victory, all the soldiers and horses in Tianjin must be superior, otherwise how would they capture and kill the seven Tatars?

Thousands and six hundred heads? Since the governor is not knowledgeable in military matters, he must have brave generals who are good at conquering and fighting.

However, among the generals in Tianjin, I have never heard of anyone doing anything unusual before.

Zhu Youjian suddenly remembered the name Li Zhi.

This has happened twice. Every time the name of this small official appears in the memorial, it will be a heart-stirring victory. First, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng were defeated in the battle of Ruzhou, and the formation was killed and the horses defended. Then there was this great victory in Fanjiazhuang.

, captured and beheaded more than 7,600 heads, and beheaded Dongnu's fake super-level Gong Yangguli. Every time, this Li Zhi was able to take the head of a general among thousands of armies and make his first contribution!

Is this just a coincidence?

Or is this Li Zhi extraordinary? He contributed a lot to the great victory?

Zhu Youjian looked at the Yangguli corpse hanging in the air in front of the imperial city and watched the people in the capital throwing stones and spitting at Yangguli's body - the people of the Ming Dynasty had accumulated too much hatred towards the Tatars over the years.

and fear, now that we have the bodies of the Tatar nobles, we can vent our hatred and reduce some of the fear of the Tatars.

Otherwise, if this fear continues to accumulate, the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers will become increasingly afraid to fight, and more and more officials and people will surrender to the Tatars.

After watching for a while, Zhu Youjian praised and said: "This Yanguli is really a burly Tatar. The general who killed him is very skilled!"

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty Mingjian! This Yangguli is the highest leader of the Eastern slaves that I have killed in the Ming Dynasty for decades!"

Zhu Youjian turned around and said to Wang Chengen next to him: "Tomorrow I will lead a hundred officials to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple, and tell the ancestors of the great victory of this formation in killing Yang Guli."

Wang Chengen raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Sheng Ming!"

"The soldiers have made great contributions and must not be unrewarded! Otherwise, the soldiers will be discouraged from killing the enemy and serving the country!" Chongzhen pondered for a moment, and then said: "I will reward Fanjiazhuang Zhi Li Zhi, the commander of Fanjiazhuang who defeated Yangguli this time, with a piece of platinum armor.

Five hundred taels, I hope he will make new achievements in the future!"
