The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 71
Build a slave camp.

At this time, it was like a large construction site, with countless Han soldiers, young and strong, busy in full swing.

Different from the simple camps that the Tartars usually built, the big camp built this time was completely built according to the Han military camp system.

The three big camps are finished in the shape of characters, and all kinds of defense systems are available. On the hillside five miles away on the left and on the hillside seven miles away on the right, a camp was also built for each.

The remaining one hundred red cannons were also condescendingly arranged in the two camps.

At this moment in the main tent of the barracks.

Kong Youde was kneeling in the hall and was talking about yesterday's defeat, and Azig who was sitting beside him would add a few words from time to time.

But Dorgon on the main seat and Hong Chengchou on the side, the more they listened, the more they frowned and the more ugly their faces became.

"Mr. Hong, it seems that the 30 people in Tongzhou are still capable of fighting!"

"That's right, the lord is right. The old man underestimated the red lady. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will win a hundred battles. Although you lost nearly ten thousand people this time, you have also found out the reality of the other party. It is worth it."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and nodded. He was not surprised that the Ming army could defeat Kong Youde's 3 men.

What surprised him was the performance of Gao Jie, the other chief soldier and Wu Sangui, the three cooperated so tacitly, neither competing for merit nor tearing each other down.

He couldn't understand Gao Jie and Wu Sangui's virtues very well.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Wu Sangui to sit back and watch Gao Jie take credit.

Even if they don't pretend to attack and lure the Azig cavalry to charge and kill Gao Jie, they will return to the camp early, so that Gao Jie and another general soldier will suffer a dark loss at the hands of Azig.

But the fact is that Wu Sangui has been obediently staying on the top of the mountain to hold the line, covering Gao Jie and the other commander-in-chief before returning to the camp.

Then when did Wu Sangui become so considerate of the overall situation, honest and obedient, and willing to be the last one for the brothers' army?
And that Gao Jie, when did he become so hardworking?Follow orders?If you say charge to kill, then charge to kill, if you say to withdraw troops, then withdraw troops?
Not greedy for merit or hesitation at all?

Didn't even clean up the battlefield immediately, and didn't cut off the heads?

What puzzled him the most was that another general soldier took the lead and personally led his servants to lead the charge.

Since Cao Bianjiao and Mangui's death, how can there be such a general officer in Ming Dynasty?
There is only one explanation for all this abnormality.

That is the Red Lady of the Superintendent, who can really subdue the commander-in-chief of the towns. Not only did these arrogant soldiers not dare to have the slightest thought, but they also competed to work hard.

This point, even if he went to Tongzhou Daying to supervise the teachers, he couldn't do it.

Sun Boya and Lu Jiandou also couldn't do it, and no supervisor in Ming Dynasty could do it.

From the point of view of the battle, the red lady is not afraid of the battle, nor aggressive, at least she can be regarded as quite satisfactory.

There is such a high-sounding noble concubine and supervisor, Wu Sangui's [-] cavalry, plus a fierce general who is not afraid of death and dares to take the lead in charging.

It can be said that the Ming army in Tongzhou is already capable of fighting against them. If the two sides fight in the open field, the outcome will be at least between three and seven, or even four or six.

"My lord, the Tongzhou camp must be closely monitored, and we must not be careless."

Hong Chengchou reminded that if he had known this earlier, Daying should have moved a little further north, farther away from Tongzhou, at least three days away.

"Hmm! The little emperor's method is really unpredictable. Letting a female traitor who has just surrendered as a supervisor, just conferring a title of imperial concubine, who would have thought that it would be really useful and have such a big effect !"

Dorgon nodded, not daring to despise the red lady anymore.

When he learned that the little emperor had actually appointed a female traitor as a supervisor and made her a concubine, he almost died laughing.

And this time.

Zhu Cihong, who was ridiculed by Dorgon and Hong Chengchou at the beginning, also received the good news from the red lady.

"Okay! Haha, dear friends, Tongzhou won a big victory yesterday, killing nearly [-] enemies, with less than [-] casualties, and captured a large number of weapons and armor."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty."

All the generals and nobles rushed to congratulate, with excitement on their faces, but jealousy in their hearts.

"Zhou Aiqing, the two princes and concubines have already made a good start, and we can't go anywhere.

That Dorgon was so arrogant that even a mere [-] cavalry troops dared to attack the capital, he didn't know whether to live or die! "

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to fight, capture the false king Duoduo alive, and present it to Your Majesty!"

Duke Ding came out immediately.

He obviously wanted to show off, and he also felt that His Majesty seemed to pay more attention to the Duke of England.

"Okay! Duke Ding is so brave, he won't lose to his ancestors!"

"Your Majesty, I also wish to lead the army to meet the enemy."

The British are not far behind.

All the nobles also asked to fight one after another. They were obviously stimulated by the red lady, thinking that building slaves was nothing more than that.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has [-] cavalry in front of her, so she went out to fight and won. There are no cavalry in the capital, so it's better to wait for work at leisure, so as not to be taken advantage of by the opponent's cavalry!"

Zhou Yuji went out and poured cold water on it.

"Zhou Aiqing, can't we fight against the city?"

Zhu Cihong frowned. Although he had never fought in battle, he also knew that an army that dared not fight in the field would have no future, and a soldier who dared not face the cavalry charge would never become an elite.

"Your Majesty, the Tartars have brought more than fifty red cannons this time, so we must guard against them," Zhou Yuji replied.

"Zhou Zongbing, you are clearly trying to build up other people's ambitions and lower your own prestige. If the other party has red-clothed cannons, don't you want to fight?"

"That's right, I see that you are clearly afraid of the enemy and fighting cowardly. If you stay in the camp, can't the opponent's cannons not hit you?"

The nobles retorted one after another, and in the end it turned into condemning Zhou Yuji for being greedy for life and fearing death, and fearing the enemy like a tiger.

"All right!"

"As the saying goes, you don't lose if you lose. Duke Ding and Duke Ying, I ordered you two to lead 6 horses out of the camp to meet the enemy. Tang Tong, you lead 1 horses to stay in the camp to prevent any accidents!"

"Respect!"

Duke Ding and Duke Ying were overjoyed, but Tang Tong was slightly disappointed, and Zhou Yuji didn't say anything.

Now the total number of soldiers and horses in the capital is 14, of which [-] are controlled by Xungui and [-] are stationed in the camp outside the east city, ready to support Tongzhou or attack at any time.

After all, with Tongzhou as the backing, the capital is no longer an isolated city. If you put all 10,000+ people in the city, it would be tantamount to tying your hands and feet.

The defense of the city is mainly in charge of Zhou Yuji's 6 men and Wu Xiang's 10,000+ young men, and the [-] Imperial Forest Army as the general reserve.

As for the [-] clean troops, half of them were transferred to the subordinates of the two empress dowagers.

Half of it was allocated to Dongchang, responsible for maintaining order in the inner city.

Jin Yiwei is still responsible for maintaining order in the outer city.

It can be said that even if there is no [-] troops outside the city, with the Tartars' few troops, it is impossible to break through the capital.

That's why Zhu Cihong wanted to fight a field battle, to see how many catties these noble children weighed, and also to see the real combat power of those traitor soldiers and Tartars.

Anyway, it's best to win, and it doesn't matter if you lose, it won't affect the overall situation.

Zhou Yuji also understood this point, so he didn't insist.

The next morning.

The two dukes left the city with a group of nobles and came to Daying.

After some encouragement, he led [-] troops out of the camp and began to line up.

Almost half of these 6 people are the children of nobles, servants or collateral children.

I heard that Tongzhou had just won a battle, and it was also [-] against [-]. These noble children and servants screamed.

And Zhu Cihong also brought a group of civil and military officials to the tower in the northeast corner, ready to watch the battle.
