The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 174 The Emperor's Sense of Substitution
Chongzhen was in a good mood, and he didn't get tired of those civil servants playing tricks again. It was a good thing anyway. As for who got the first credit, it didn't matter to the emperor at all, anyway, the meat was rotten in the pot.

Unexpectedly, the good things didn't end here, and Zheng Guochang's good news came again at night. The number of beheads of his troops far exceeded that of the main force with three times the strength and deployed Hongyi cannons.

The "Red Banner Army", white pole soldiers and other battalions killed more than [-] real slaves, more than [-] bannermen, and two Jialaerzhens with names and surnames and waist cards as evidence. There are seven members of Erzhen, and nineteen members of Baya Laba Shiku....

The young emperor was impatient, he was extremely concerned about the gains in the battle to capture Yongping, and he felt a little displeased with Zheng Guochang's way of reclaiming Yongping without any gains.

He ordered Wang Cheng'en to send someone to keep an eye on the Ministry of War, and once he learned that there were memorials or official documents from the Yongping Mansion, he would send them to the Imperial Study Room as soon as possible.

In his heart, the emperor did not have much hope for the number of beheads in the Battle of Yongping, thinking that half of the number in the Battle of Luanzhou would be enough to win the battle.

Unexpectedly, Chongzhen's imagination was not rich enough, and the number of beheadings by the partial division far exceeded that of the main force, and even beheaded two Jiala Ezhens of Jiannu, and the "Red Banner Army" won the first place.

At night, the emperor, who had not been sleepy for a long time, listened with great interest to Wang Chengen's story about the "Red Banner Army" of more than [-] cavalry who launched an active attack against about [-] Eastern Nu troops, and actually beat the Jurchen archers and horses to flee in a panic.

Jiannu, who had already been knocked out by Huang Han and lost half of his troops, was chased and beaten by white cavalry less than [-] miles south of Yongping.

Immediately afterwards, Jiannu was rushed forward by five or six hundred cavalry led by Deng Qi and Zhou Zongwu to fight endlessly. Dongnu, who had lost his troops and generals, lost his helmet and armor in the face of the Ming cavalry's successive charges, and suffered heavy losses.

In the end, Huang Yizhou led less than [-] infantry, and more than half of the recruits lined up to block the Dongnu army.

Huang Han and Chongzhen are the same age, and the emperor who listened to the real battles has a deep sense of substitution. He even thinks that if he is not the emperor, he should be able to train a brave and invincible army, and he can also fight in person Charge to the battle to kill those slave robbers.

After listening to Wang Chengen's narration, Chongzhen said, "Huang Han is always able to grasp the opportunity of battle, but this time he actually wins more with less. He is really a general. However, he and Zu Shaobao are in the same situation. It is a pity that such a strong general cannot go to Liaodong. gone."

Wang Chengen said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Huang Shoubei's troops were originally small, and now after the bloody battle, there may be even fewer. It should be difficult to recover his combat power in a short period of time. It may be a drop in the bucket for his little troops to go to Liaodong."

"Yes! I want to give him time, and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households will give money and food to the soldiers. I hope that Huang Han can bring out a mighty army capable of fighting vicious battles within a year or two."

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty is wise! Huang Shoubei won the favor of the emperor and made great achievements again."

……

The atmosphere in the early morning of the next day was even more heated. All the civil servants and generals were talking about the fact that the two members of the Ming army beheaded Dongnu, Jia Lae, really showed their faces.

During the court meeting, there were no civil officials and military generals to discuss who was the first minister, because it was self-evident that it was rare for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to reach a consensus, and Zheng Guochang was none other than Zheng Guochang.

There is no doubt that the "Red Banner Army" is the first team. Not only did they have the honor of "first climb", but they also killed two Jiannu Jiala Ezhen, and won the first rank and waist badge.

Daming fought Jiannu for many years, and perhaps killed their high-ranking officials on the battlefield, but they never got the heads and badges of senior generals such as Jiala Ezhen. The "Red Banner Army" set a precedent .

As night fell and the lights came on, the soldiers and civilians of the capital already knew the news that the Ming army had won the Jiannu and recaptured Luanzhou, and Yongping killed two or three thousand Jin troops. The crowds celebrating the victory gathered more and more, and the fireworks bloomed in the night sky. Cut through the night sky.

Too many residents of the capital had endured a harsh winter. Jian slave soldiers approached the city, and Ming generals died in battles one after another. Ming army corpses could be seen everywhere outside the city. The atmosphere of terror made them suffocate.

Today I can finally feel proud, the military and civilian officials are all having a carnival, there are countless drunken singers, and the wine shops and brothels are already overcrowded.

It was always a time when several families were happy and others were sad. At this time, the city of Qian'an was full of gloom and gloom. Amin was terrified when he saw the over three hundred people who had fled back from Luanzhou.

When will the 3000 men of the Dajin Army be beaten so embarrassingly by the enemy, and more than [-] men and horses will be lost?
Are they the Jurchen cavalry in the bow and vest world?How could there be such a large number of casualties and defeat?Amin has no such memory after fighting for more than [-] years, because a large number of casualties in the Dajin Kingdom represents a big victory.

He grabbed Na Mutai by the collar and roared: "Bastard, didn't Ben Bayle send someone to tell you not to fight desperately with the Ming army, and the whole team returned to Qian'an to meet up? How did you make it look like this? Where did the others go?" ?”

Na Mu Tai, who was covered in wounds, knew that his master Hong didn't want to see this domineering Lord Baylor. He had escaped from death with great difficulty and was full of grievances and had nowhere to vent. Seeing Amin beat him up, he retorted:

"When did Lord Baylor send someone to contact Luanzhou? Why didn't we see it? But we all know that you quietly lost Yongping and ran away. We were ambushed and lost 2000 troops on the way to Yongping. "

Amin wondered: "Didn't you see the messenger sent by Ben Baylor? Didn't you see Baduli and the 700 men he brought? Where is Baduli? Where did he die? Ben Baylor personally asked him to bring you Message, let you not let the Eight Banners warriors die in vain, it is best to give up Luanzhou."

Na Mutai smiled bitterly and said: "We saw Baduli and his men, but unfortunately he failed to break out of the encirclement of the Ming army. We also obeyed your order to withdraw from Luanzhou, but you shouldn't just give up on Yongping silently." Running away directly caused our group of people to fall into the net set by the Ming army."

At this time, Turg also proved: "Amin Baylor, we retreated to Yongping on the night we came to Baduli. Although we were blocked by the Ming army outside Luanzhou City, there were still 2000 people when we rushed out. .It is because I didn’t know that you gave up Yongping that you lost troops and generals in such a mess.”

Seeing that the two Gu Shan foreheads were all pointing their fingers at him, they all said in unison that such a disastrous defeat was because he gave up Yongping and did not notify them in time.

"Fart, nonsense! Ben Baylor has fought for many years, would he make such a low-level mistake? Ben Baylor sent a messenger immediately, and there are people around him who can testify. It's all about paying off your soldiers and generals. How dare you frame Ben Baylor? Don't Ben Baylor dare to kill you for the crime of losing the land?"

Tang Gudai was seriously injured. Seeing that Amin was not only shirking responsibility but also preparing to overwhelm others, he said angrily:

"Amin Baylor, don't be tricky, no matter what, you shouldn't give up Yongping City easily and retreat without authorization.

Luanzhou was besieged by the Guanning Army, Yansui Army and other Ming forces led by Sun Chengzong and persisted for four days and three nights. Are you to blame for not defending Yongping City for even a day?
Why do you deal with us when you fled without fighting?Let's go back to Shengjing to make a clear distinction in front of Dahan. "
