Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 174 Chongzhen Is Really Here
Geng Jimao's guess seemed illogical, but he was right.

Chongzhen really came, and he also brought the two most elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, namely Hu Guozhu's [-] barbarians and Jin Xuan's [-] elite cavalry.

In addition, more than a thousand pack horses were confiscated.

It is difficult for people living in this era to see through the fog of history.

But Chongzhen, as a time traveler, has the perspective of God, so he found the key to the problem at once.

If you want to save Li Zicheng, you can't let Duoduo break through Tongguan, but if you want to ensure that Tongguan is not broken by Duoduo, you must never let the Red Barbarian Cannon of the Eight Banners Han Army reach Tongguan to participate in the battle.

It is absolutely impossible for Duoduo to break through Tongguan without the Hongyi Cannon!

So the key to breaking the game is the Hongyi Cannon, it is the Hongyi Cannon, it is the Hongyi Cannon!

After confirming this point, Chongzhen immediately made targeted arrangements, that is to take [-] Yiding and Jin Xuan's [-] elite cavalry to rush deep into the west of Henan, looking for an opportunity to destroy Jiannu's heavy artillery unit.

In order to deceive people, Chongzhen did not go directly westward along the Yellow River.

Instead, go southeast two hundred miles to Bozhou, then go west through Chenzhou and Xuzhou, enter Henan Prefecture from Dengfeng, and then prepare to wait in Henan Prefecture for the Hongyi Cannon to be delivered to the door.

Chongzhen went to the south, without telling Jiannu, but frightened the local bandits in southern Henan half to death.

Even Liu Hongqi, Li Jiyu, Han Jiadi and other tycoons guarded the city tightly, lest the Ming army suddenly give them a false show of attacking Guo.

But Chongzhen ignored those powerful and weak.

It was those strong and weak who took themselves seriously, Chongzhen didn't care at all.

Those strong and weak people are too ugly, as long as they are willing to serve Xiaoming's banner, after the Jiannu and thieves are dealt with, it will not be a piece of cake to deal with those strong and weak people.

The Han army retreated slowly all the way, and retreated into Henan Mansion earlier than Jiannu.

In fact, at that time, Chongzhen's cavalry troops were hiding in Duolin Temple in Songshan.

Before the Ming Dynasty, several Taoist and Buddhist ashrams were treated with utmost courtesy. The Taoist Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, and the Buddhist Songshan Mountain were all very prosperous in the Ming Dynasty.

The farmland of Longhu Mountain is said to be in the tens of thousands of hectares!

Songshan Duolin Temple has trained monks and soldiers to act as Ming court thugs since the early Ming Dynasty.

At the end, I helped Zhu Yuanzhang fight the sky, came to help Zhu Di raise troops against the Qing emperor, and then came to help the emperors of the Zhu family conquer east and west, especially in the Jiajing Dynasty's anti-Japanese war.

Having said that, the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty treated Duolin Temple very poorly, and Emperor Tianqi also built the Thousand Buddha Hall. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, it was really enough for the country to cut off the rewards of property, but the honor was given as much.

Therefore, the relationship between the Xiaoming court and Songshan Duolin Temple can be described as very close.

The only fly in the ointment is that in the past ten years or so, Henan has suffered from wars, and the people have been displaced, and half of the monks in Duolin Temple have died. Now there are only dozens of old monks who are old and frail.

The tower of the Buddhist hall that has not yet been built in Duolin Temple is also in disrepair for a long time, and it looks dilapidated.

Looking at the dilapidated Duolin Temple, Chongzhen was also a little bit embarrassed. The thousand-year-old temple has been reduced to this point. It is really like the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty's lucky visit to Duolin Temple is a grand event through the ages, and it's a living relative and a souvenir."

Abbot Duolin and Master Xingzheng brought two old monks a huge brush and a small bucket of ink.

Master Xingzheng picked up a brush as small as a broom and handed it to Chongzhen, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please leave a pair of ink treasures for the Bi Temple as a warning to the monks in the temple."

Chongzhen refused to express this feeling and scene, so he had to say nothing.

When Chongzhen took the brush and was scratching his stomach, footsteps suddenly sounded in front of him.

When I looked back, I saw Geng Jimao retreating with a serious expression. When he became Chongzhen, he was also in the mood to search for some good sentences. He picked up a pen and wrote the words "a thousand-year-old temple, monks and soldiers are here" under the white wall.

After finishing writing, he handed over the pen to Master Xingzheng, and Master Xingzheng hurriedly led the old monk in.

After Hong Chunhong walked down in a hurry, he bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the slaves have been established and the troops have been divided!"

"Oh, Jiannu finally divided up the army?" Chongzhen was immediately refreshed when he heard the words, and finally waited for him.

Eight days later, Ye Shishou of Yiding found Jiannu's whereabouts in the distance of Yanshi, and even had several large-scale conflicts with Ye Shishou of Jiannu.

But at that time Jiannu did not divide the troops.

There are hundreds of thousands of slave hedgehogs gathered together, so naturally there is something to talk about.

But now that Jiannu has finally divided his troops, there is no chance to take advantage of it.

However, Geng Jimao immediately continued: "But even if the troops are divided, there are still less than [-] Jiannu left, and there are still less than a hundred Jinxuan cannons!"

"It does matter!" Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "As long as the Jiannu cavalry go away!"

Geng Jimao said: "The Jiannu cavalry have all gone, and those who stay are infantry and have no chariot battalion."

Chongzhen said in his heart that it was almost the same as I expected, as long as Shaoduo led the Jiannu cavalry to go first, it would be easy for cavalry to fight infantry, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

Shang Chongzhen said: "Geng Jimao, he's going to call us all Wubatan and Mengketu."

"Yes." Geng Jimao agreed, turned around and went to the mountain gate to call back Wu Batan and ten others.

Chongzhen said: "They immediately went from Luti Mountain and Yiyang in the south to the distance of Mianchi. Before reaching Mianchi, they immediately dispersed around in units of 'shi'. There was only one task for them-hunting Jian Slave messenger! In short, if they block the connection between Tongguan and Luoyang at all costs."

"The ministers and others take the decree!" Wu Batan and others suddenly agreed.

Immediately, the ten barbarian generals left Duolin Temple with their barbarians.

Geng Jimao left, and all four hundred barbarians were sent out, and I became an elite commander again, with work to do.

Chongzhen recalled the Ming army back to Duolin Temple: "Jin Aiqing, is the catapult I asked him to build finished?"

"It hasn't been built yet." Hong Chun nodded, thinking that in the past few days to build those catapults, a lot of century-old trees around Duolin Temple were cut down, but those old monks were very distressed.

Is the luxurious catapult built in a hurry really useless?
Thinking that way in his heart, Ming Jun also asked directly: "Your Majesty, is he sure that the catapult that I built in a hurry can cause damage to Jiannu's chariot camp?"

Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "If I say I can, I will."

The Ming army just said less, anyway, just follow the order.

Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to take out seventy taels of silver and two hundred catties of rice, and beckoned Master Xingzheng to come down: "Master Xingzheng, I came out in a hurry, and I can bring too little property, and the grain is less than the seventy taels. Two silver coins, don't think it's too much, if I, Japan, can restore the capital, reorganize the rivers and mountains, and then rebuild the golden body of the Buddha."

Things like praying to gods and worshiping Buddha are based on faith or faith, and are based on seeking peace of mind.

Although Chongzhen is a time traveler, he is also determined whether he can recover the capital and reorganize the rivers and mountains.

So when I went to Duolin Temple, I made a wish for psychological comfort. Chongzhen made a wish and had to offer sesame oil money as usual, but he only took out seventy taels of silver and added two hundred catties of rice, which is really a bit of a pick.

That point can be seen from the resentful eyes of the old monk Xingzheng.

Your Majesty, among the eighteen emperors in the seventeenth generation of the Xiao Ming Dynasty, he is the most picky.

The majestic emperor has already arrived at Duolin Temple, so he only rewards seventy taels of silver?

He also deliberately added two hundred catties of rice, is it really worth it?It's still enough for these hundreds of small trees.

It's a pity that Chongzhen heard the old monk's slander, because I had already walked a long way with Zhu Cijiong, Wang Chengen, Geng Jimao, and the Ming army with less than [-] fine horsemen.

……

After Xu Xingjun walked a hundred miles away, he chased down Jiannu.

Did he hide his whereabouts that time, and in fact it is possible to hide his whereabouts again. More than a hundred cavalry, marching on the open plain can make a huge noise, and it is impossible to hide it.

Unless marching at night, the horse's hooves are wrapped in cotton cloth, and the horse's mouth is also held.

But even in that case, there is a very small chance of being discovered, because Jianu will send Ye Shishou.

So Chongzhen simply concealed his whereabouts again, and simply made it clear that chariots and horses were chasing him. Anyway, before the four hundred Yiding detoured to Mianchi live relatives, even if the slave-building army in front of them sent a messenger to ask for help from Shaoduo, it would be impossible. He will be intercepted and killed by Yi Ding, so there is a small probability that Shaoduo will receive military reports.

The Han army retreated mightily along the mountains.

Seeing Hong Chun's cavalry, Jian Nu immediately reacted.

The sound of trumpets and horns rang out instantly before the sound of gunshots.

The Ming army laughed hotly and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called Four Banners and Red Barbarians should be behind you."

The Four Banners Red Barbarians was adapted from the Ming Dynasty Jiangjun brought by Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, and Hong Chunhong, so Hong Chun's trumpets, drums and horns are still preserved.

Chongzhen smiled and said: "Jin Qing, press down, but don't get too close, and avoid the firing range of Jin Xuan's small cannon, try to be directly exposed to the muzzle of these traitors."

Speaking of that extra pause, he said again: "But hold us back and don't let us retreat!"

"The minister leads the decree." Hong Chun cupped his hands under the horse's back, then turned his head and shouted, "Pass your general order, the whole army line up!"

A few orderlies raised the octagonal flag and waved it a few times, and the cavalry, which seemed chaotic and orderly, ended their formation. After a while, they had not formed a huge formation of ten rows vertically and eight hundred cavalry horizontally. In the small horizontal formation, the flag was waved again, and the eight thousand cavalry urged the horses heavily, pressing down on the Jiannu behind.

……

Both Geng Zhongming and Hong Chunhong were very pleased with the sudden arrival of the Han army.

Although they cared about it, the two of them didn't feel the slightest fear, instead they looked disdainful.

"Hong Chun is really here?" Geng Zhongming said with a smile, "Is that because the sun came out from the west?"

"When did the Han army become so useless?" Hu Guozhu also said disdainfully, "We really have no days to see the Han army who dare to go out of the city to fight in the field."

Only Hong Chunhong said: "Father, I don't have an uncle. It's just that the Han army has come, and Chongzhen has also come."

"What? He said that Chongzhen is here too?" Geng Zhongming and Hu Guozhu were taken aback for a moment, and then smiled at each other, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Don't laugh." Kong Youde said slowly, "You mean the truth."

"Okay, Dad trusts him, Dad trusts him." Hu Guozhu laughed again before he finished speaking.

Geng Zhongming also smiled and said to Kong Youde: "Little nephew, it's just in time for Chongzhen to come. When the old uncle catches the dog emperor back, he will beat me up again to get angry."

The two traitors are talking and laughing here.

Zhenghongqi and Xiangbaiqi Hongyi reacted quickly.

The vans that originally lined up in a long line on the official road were quickly pushed to the open fields on both sides of the official road, forming a car formation.

There was a lot of gaps in the chariot formation facing the cavalry of the Han army, and then a series of Hongchun small cannons were pushed into the gap, and the muzzles of Baidongdong were aimed at the Han army sweeping over the mountains and plains.

Then Hong Chun, a team of Four Banners, appeared under the car wall.

Then rows of bird guns were placed under the wall of the car.

In front of the car wall, rows of spears pierced the sky.

Whether it is true or not, Geng Zhongming, Hu Guozhu, and us before we surrendered and became slaves, it was a big retreat, but the formation of troops was less rigorous than later.

In a quarter of an hour, the Four Banners Hongyi lined up.

At that time, the cavalry of the Han army were still thousands of paces away, far from retreating and attacking.

Geng Zhongming, Hu Guozhu, Kong Youde and his son, Hongyi Gushan Ezhen Bayan who had not yet set a white flag, and Zhenghongqi Hongyigushan Ezhen Wu Shoutui all appeared under the car wall.

"My lord!" Bayan and Wu Shoutui rushed to salute each other.

Gu Shan's forehead is really a military position, far from the noble title of the county king.

And Jiannu is respected by his title. Gu Shan'ezhen of the Four Banners Manchuria is in charge of the military affairs of One Banner under his name, but he is not just a house slave in front of Prince Jiannu and the king of the county.

The downside of living pro-tribalism.

Historically, it was not resolved until the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Geng Zhongming and Hu Guozhu hummed and raised their binoculars at the same time.

Those two telescopes were gifts from the Portuguese.

Geng Zhongming looked at it for a while, then turned around and said, "The distance from living relatives is short, so I can't prepare."

"My lord has no order, each camp is set on fire! My lord has no order, each battalion is set on fire!" Geng Zhongming's order was conveyed slowly.

Immediately, the gunners lit a bonfire, and then put the iron rod into the fire. At that time, the Jinxuan small cannon was not triggered by a fuse, but by a red-hot iron rod.

The musketeers under the car wall also lit the matchlocks one after another and stuck them into the triggers.

Hu Guozhu put on the binoculars, turned his head and smiled and said to Geng Zhongming: "You can't wait to see the scene of the Han army being beaten to pieces."

Geng Zhongming said: "I'm afraid we have the guts."

"You think so too." Hu Guozhu said, "If you are sure, just turn around and run away."

As soon as the words fell, the Han army in the rear suddenly turned around, split into two groups and outflanked the two wings.

"Huh? They still outflank the two wings?" Hu Guozhu was taken aback and said, "Is that a tactic imitating the Four Banners Mongolia?"

"That's just a mere imitation." Geng Zhongming smiled and said again, "Send the order up, and the artillery teams on the two wings will also set up the small red cannons. All the small cannons are set up! This king wants to see, from which direction can the Han cavalry find a breakthrough?"

Geng Zhongming's order was conveyed very slowly.

Zhenghongqi and Xiangbaiqi Hongyi responded quickly.
