The Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Youjian, sat in the study room of Qianqing Palace and sighed.?
The current situation is really worrying. The dawn that came after Fanjiazhuang's victory was completely wiped out because of Li Zhi's recklessness.
A month ago, the Qing army withdrew from the heavy siege of Jinan and retreated to Qingshan Pass. The 70,000 Qing army escorted more than 200,000 people and countless looted money, food and silk, and moved very slowly. But even so, Along the way, no one of the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops dared to challenge them. Hong Chengchou and Chen Xinjia were very "cautious" and guarded the fortress in Tianjin, only watching the Qing army go to Qingshan Pass in peace.
At this juncture, Li Zhi suddenly jumped out and led a lone army to block the Qing army at Qingshan Pass. None of the other Ming troops went with Li Zhi. Zhu Youjian knew that this was cowardice on the part of the Ming army.
However, Zhu Youjian was not happy that Li Zhi dared to fight this time. Although Zhu Youjian had never been on the battlefield and was not familiar with military affairs, he also knew that these 10,000 Li Zhi troops were no match for the 70,000 Qing army. If the Qing soldiers were to surround And how could Li Zhi withstand the attack?
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles, and the Ming army does not dare to fight against the Qing army. The Ming Dynasty is left with only Li Zhi, a unique and powerful army. The second victory of Fanjiazhuang captured and killed more than 10,000 Dongnu, which was regarded as a great opportunity for the Qing army to show off its power. They planned a heavy blow, so that they would have to think carefully when they wanted to enter the pass to rob in the future. However, this Li Zhi was so reckless that he actually used 10,000 people to fight 70,000 people? If Li Zhi's troops were defeated, what would happen in the future? The Ming army once again had no troops to fight, and the Qing army could only sit on the sidelines and plunder.
This time the Qing army entered the pass, captured 27 counties in five states, killed countless people, robbed more than 200,000 people, more than 100,000 livestock, and lost money, food and materials. Forget it all, the Ming army did not dare to fight, and there was no Method. If Li Zhi's troops and horses are also lost at Qingshan Pass, then our Ming Dynasty will really suffer heavy losses.
It has been more than half a month since the 70,000 Qing army entered Qingshan Pass. The slave cavalry blocked the entrance. Zhu Youjian had no news about the battle in the valley. He was getting more and more anxious these days.
This time Zhu You inspected Hong Chengchou and sent the Qin army to the capital, risking the resurgence of the bandits. If the Qin army stayed in the capital for a long time, the bandits that had been dormant would definitely regroup. How could the Ming Dynasty have the strength to fight on two fronts? As soon as the Tatars were wiped out, the bandits came. As soon as the Tatars came, they mobilized their troops to the capital. Finally, they relied on their numerical superiority to force the Tatars away. Then the bandits rose up again. This cycle of death has happened twice, and it turned into Zhu You. An inspection nightmare.
Fighting against the bandits and Dongnu at the same time, the fragile body of the Ming Dynasty was at risk of collapse. If there was anything that supported Zhu Youjian mentally, it was Li Zhi's 12,000-strong army. This powerful force It is incredible that the army was able to defeat 30,000 Manchu Tatars in Fanjiazhuang.
But now Li Zhi rushed to Qingshan Pass with 10,000 people. If Li Zhi was defeated, the Ming Dynasty would no longer have soldiers capable of fighting. Zhu Youjian could only rely on Yang Sichang to return to the Qing Dynasty. Go back to the old road of seeking peace.
However, seeking peace with the Manchus and Qing Dynasties also faced many obstacles. Not only were the Manchus and Qing Dynasties ambiguous in their attitude, but all officials in the Ming Dynasty were also firmly opposed to it, making it almost impossible to put the matter on the table.
Not only that, a few days ago, Huangyakou was captured by the Qing army again. The Tatars bribed spies and cooperated inside and outside to breach the Great Wall pass. What does this mean? The Tatars are going to send more troops to the Ming Dynasty’s capital? They are going to plunder again. More prefectures and counties? Could it be that Li Zhi has been killed by Dorgon, and the Qing army is no longer afraid and is not in a hurry to leave?
Zhu Youjian became more and more anxious as he thought about it, and couldn't help but cough a few times.
Zhu Youjian secretly thought that the air in the study was so turbid that it actually made him cough. He walked to the entrance of Qianqing Palace, looked at the long corridor, and took a deep breath.
Zhu Youjian was anxious there when he saw Wang Chengen rushing down from the platform with a memorial in his hand.
Probably because he had run so hard all the way, Wang Chengen was already out of breath. He just lowered his head and ran all the way down the corridor. Halfway through, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground with a thud. But he didn't even scream. He screamed and immediately jumped up from the ground.
He lowered his head and did not see Zhu Youjian standing at the door of the Qianqing Palace. As soon as Zhu Youjian stepped aside, Wang Chengen ran into the Qianqing Palace, grabbed the memorial and ran to the study.
Zhu Youjian coughed and shouted: "Wang Chengen!"
Wang Chengen had already rushed into the study room with one foot, and then he heard the emperor's cry. He turned around and looked at the emperor in surprise. But when he saw the emperor, he had no time to be embarrassed. Instead, he immediately raised the memorial in his hand and gasped. He said loudly: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, this great victory is another great victory!"
Zhu Youjian was stunned and asked: "Where did the great victory come from?"
Wang Chengen gasped for air and said: "Li Li Zhi's great victory!"
When Zhu Youjian heard this, his eyes lit up, but he couldn't believe it.
Li Zhi's great victory, did Li Zhi defeat Dorgon? Impossible? Ten thousand people could defeat 70,000 Qing troops? The other 10,000 Ming troops couldn't even defeat 3,000 Qing troops. Li Zhi could defeat the mighty Qing army Wan Qingjun?
And it's not a victory, it's a great victory. How many levels must be achieved to be called a great victory?
Taking the memorial from Wang Chengen, Zhu Youjian opened the memorial nervously, fearing that Wang Chengen would make a fuss and make himself happy in vain.
However, on the memorial, Hong Chengchou wrote clearly in black and white:
After a great battle, Li Zhi captured and killed 11,000 Tatars. Dorgon had fled westward after his defeat! Hong Chengchou had led people to verify that all the Tatars captured by Li Zhi were genuine Tatars!
Level 11,000, a real victory!
Zhu Youjian looked at the memorial over and over again, and his face, which was originally full of anxiety, gradually put on a smile, and more and more expressions appeared on his face! By the end, Zhu Youjian's face was already glowing red.
Li Zhi won again, frightened Dorgon and fled to the west. Li Zhi was not reckless, he was really brave and good at fighting. The Tatar army of 100,000 defeated more than 30,000 people in the pass, and they would dare to enter in the future. Is it about robbery?
Li Zhi won the battle, and my country, the Ming Dynasty, is as solid as an iron barrel, and no one can shake it!
Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing. He grabbed the memorial and walked up to the throne. He sat on the throne with great satisfaction and read the memorial carefully again.
Wang Chengen looked at the emperor's face and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, this is a great joy!"
Zhu Youjian gently put the memorial down on the imperial case and said loudly: "Tomorrow I will lead all my officials to present the memorial to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Let our ancestors know that our Ming Dynasty is safe and sound!"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Youjian said loudly: "Enter Hong Chengchou, Crown Prince and Grand Master."
"Li Zhishi is the mainstay of our Ming Dynasty and cannot be ignored! He was promoted to Li Zhizheng, the first rank of Left Governor, the title of Crown Prince and Taibao, and the special promotion of Ronglu Doctor!" 8
