Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 324 Spreading the Call to the World Wang Shizhen

Yanzhou.

When the news that Shang Kexi's 8000 troops were wiped out and even Shang Kexi was forced to commit suicide in Jiningzhou City, Tan Tai angrily whipped the scout who came to report the news several times.

Angry, he immediately called Kong Youde, King of Respect, and Geng Zhongming, King of Huaishun.

"Why did King Huaishun abandon Jining?"

Geng Zhongming was the first to know that Shang Kexi was gone, and even laughed for a long time until he burst into tears after hearing the news. There was a deep hatred between him and Shang Kexi, and now that he finally got revenge, how can he not be unhappy.

When he evacuated Jining, he did it on purpose. His scouts not only failed to respond to Shang Kexi's defeat, but immediately took all the money and food in Jining city, and then drove the people out of the city, leading his troops to retreat.

He wanted to kill Shang Kexi a long time ago, but as a minister of the same dynasty, the court would never allow him to do it himself, and the consequences would be unbearable, but it is possible to kill with a knife.

Faced with Tan Tai's questioning, Geng Zhongming's answer was also well prepared, "I received the news in Jining that the Ming Lu Jian Guo personally proposed that the imperial battalion troops go north. Previously, King Chongshun suffered heavy losses because of his carelessness. Zhishun The king himself did not learn his lesson, and still underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, resulting in an ambush. When I heard the news, I said that the whole army was wiped out, but the Ming army took advantage of the victory to kill them. There were 6000 to [-] troops, and our army only had [-] troops stationed. In Jining, there is not much food in the city, so how can we defend it?"

"Furthermore, at that time there were spies from the Ming army in Jining City, who also took the opportunity to create chaos, intending to cooperate with the outside world. Many granaries and pastures in Jining City were burned, and some people even set fire to them and poisoned the water. The situation was very chaotic and critical. The last general also saw that the situation was critical. Only then was the order to evacuate Jining."

"Rushing back to meet the general, I'm also afraid that Yanzhou will lose."

Tan Tai was not satisfied with this answer, but Geng Zhongming insisted that Shang Kexi underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, leading to the annihilation of the entire army. He retreated to Yanzhou to defend for safety. After all, he is a prince, and Tan Tai, a general, is not good. disposal.

"I will report these truthfully to the court." Tan Tai gritted his teeth.

He Luo would make some mud in the middle to ease the atmosphere.

"I didn't expect this Ming thief to be so cunning. Before we even met, he had already become famous king twice. My [-] army has already lost [-] people. Now not only Xuzhou has not been captured, but Jining has been lost. This Lu Jianguo really wants to fight him!" Are you coming back to Yanzhou, Fengfan's hometown?"

Jining and Yanzhou are only tens of miles away.

The advantage of the Ming army's offensive was beyond the imagination of Tan Tai and others. How could such a thing happen?

Shocked, Tan Tai and the others got serious and immediately gathered all the people who were still collecting food and looting money to Yanzhou City.

Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming still have Wanjun, so they don't care about the previous things at this time, let them camp outside the city first.

This actually put on a defensive posture.

"The most important thing now is to find out how many Ming troops have come!"

Being hit hard twice in a row, Tan Tai didn't dare to be careless at this time. The last time he marched south was on the West Road, he beat Li Zicheng and chased him all the way to Huguang, and he also fought against the Ming army. Surrender without a fight.

But this time, tens of thousands of horses were lost, and it was the elite Liaodong Han army that Kong Youde and Shang Kexi had lost, so he had to pay attention to it.

A strong opponent is always worthy of respect.

"I suggest that all the green camps from Shandong and Henan should be transferred to Yanzhou immediately. This is not an easy state for Lu Jian, so we must deal with it carefully." He Luohui suggested.

Tan Tai could only nod with a dark face.

Huaian.

Zhu Yihai, Liu Liangzuo, Wu Yi and other ministers and generals couldn't help being extremely surprised when they saw the special courier delivered by Zhu Shengli himself.

"This is Shang Kexi?"

"Return to Your Highness, this is the thief."

Huama Liu looked at the scorched corpse with great curiosity, "Judging from the armor, it fits his identity, but it is also possible that he has changed into armor and robes."

Zhu Shengli took out another thing, but it was the gratifying King Zhishun Jinyin.

It was made of gold, but fortunately it was packed in a box, so it was not damaged in the fire.

In addition, there are Shang Kexi's weapons and swords, his saddle, etc., and the soldiers in Jining City were all dead at that time, and no one escaped, so Zhu Shengli believed that this was Shang Kexi himself.

Everyone stared at the scorched meat for a long time.

After a long time, Zhu Yihai finally turned around and left.

"Gu originally thought that the Northern Expedition was over, but I didn't expect you to give me such a big surprise. The youths in Xia Town burned half of Kong Youde's troops, and you were able to annihilate eight thousand Shang in the two battles at Luqiao. Thankfully, Xibing, I never imagined that you could force him to set himself on fire."

Zhu Shengli also laughed, "It was indeed an accident."

"Originally, we demolished Xia Town and then demolished Xuzhou. We planned to go south after the demolition, but Kong Youde, a young man from Xia Town who came to say that he was blown up, fled in embarrassment. We went to check, but saw that they had slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Xia Town. We used to help subdue these dead people, and we were really angry in our hearts, so we thought about revenge on the Tartars. It turned out that the joy came very quickly.

"After everyone discussed it, it's better to try to ambush, so I set up an ambush in Luqiao Town. According to Fushan's ambush, this gratifying four thousand riders are very arrogant and underestimated the enemy..."

Everything can be said to be unintentional.

Two famous kings, annihilating all enemies.

"Your Highness, there are only 2 Manchus in Yanzhou," Zhu Shengli said.

After hearing this, Zhu Yihai didn't think much of it.

"It's getting colder and colder. The frost is getting thicker every day in the morning. The river is starting to freeze. It's time for us to go back."

"Don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

"Just accept it when it's good, and wipe out tens of thousands of Liao soldiers from the Tartars, that's enough."

It’s not yet October, but the cold north of the Huaihe River has become more and more severe. In the morning, there is a thick layer of frost, thick rime hangs on the trees, and a thick layer of ice forms on the pond.

Soon, the canal will be frozen and unnavigable.

Moreover, during the Northern Expedition, the uniforms of the lieutenant officers and soldiers were still summer and autumn clothing, and the winter clothing had not yet come in time to purchase. Although preparations are underway now, they are not ready so quickly.

The original plan was to occupy Haizhou and Yuzhou Island for the winter after conquering Huai'an, and leave some guerrilla sailors in several large lakes, but now because of the extreme cold, Zhu Yihai had to change his strategy, and he could not stay in Jiangbei this winter.

After taking Xuzhou, the results of this Northern Expedition were very good, and Jiangbei was basically corrupted.

But now it can accidentally wipe out [-] Qing troops, which is an added bonus.

But Zhu Yihai is still very cautious, he is the highest decision maker of the whole army, he must take every step carefully, walking on thin ice.

In the final analysis, he still has too little capital now, so he dare not put all his eggs in one basket. Once he loses, he will have nothing to lose, and he can't afford to lose.

"Spread this good news to the world and let everyone know that these Tartars are nothing more than that. They entered the customs not because they are really invincible, but because they just took advantage of it. It's just a coincidence. Now I, Zhu Yihai, will definitely lead the soldiers , restore ZTE!"

"I hope that all the loyal people in the world can see clearly the nature of the Tartars, who are strong outside but capable in the middle. With those 20 banners, are you really deceiving me that there is no one in the Central Plains?"

　Happy New Year to everyone!
