"Preach the decree! In the future, I will see the officers and soldiers of Ma Ke's subordinates, and there will be no mercy!"

Guangning City is now a large barracks.From the middle of the city to the north of the city, there are Qing army camps everywhere that can't be seen at a glance.In the city, there are pure yellow flags, bordered yellow dragon flags, pure white black dragon flags, white bordered red flags, pure red yellow dragon flags, red bordered white flags... all the flags are densely packed and fluttering in the wind.From Guangning City to the north, the camp spread tens of hundreds of miles, full of Manchurian armies with six banners, including the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhenglan Banner, Xianglan Banner, Zhenghong Banner, and Xianghong Banner, and the Eight Banners attached to these armies. Mongolian and Eight Banners Han troops. .

In Guangning City, among the densely packed tents of Qing soldiers, an exceptionally huge camp was closely guarded like stars holding the moon. There was a huge luxurious tent made of flaming gold-roofed cowhide. In front of the big tent, there were hundreds of people The soldiers of Gebush Xian's battalion stood there with swords and guns. Around the big tent, there were more than ten huge golden dragon banners.The surrounding guards are all elite Ba Ya La battalion soldiers.

Although these soldiers from the Ba Yala camp and the Gebush virtuous camp who were extremely arrogant in the past still held their chests up and tried to put on a majestic appearance, their facial features/top/point/novel were A dejected look.

In this large tent, which is divided into two large tents, inside and outside, the entire tent is full of kneeling Qing generals in gilt armor. There was a burst of angry shouts from here earlier.A little further away from the big tent, dozens of bloody human heads hung on dozens of wooden poles. Looking at their braided hair, they were all the heads of the Qing army.

These are the leaders of the troops stationed along the official road from Guangning to Shenyang.Because the Ming army sneaked in, the Qing army was caught off guard by fast in and out.He kidnapped Huang Taiji's favorite concubine Hai Lanzhu, and was beheaded by Huang Taiji in a rage.

"What if their purpose is not to concubine Chen, but to cut off our escape route and our food supply?" Huang Taiji's words left the banner masters and princes who were trying to intercede with these Eight Banners officers speechless.At the critical moment of the confrontation between the two armies, the Ming army sneaked in with a large group of people.

During the war, his army was so slack.How not to make Huang Taiji furious?What's more.This group of barbarians who sneaked in wiped out hundreds of Ba Yala soldiers and Gebush Xian battalion soldiers in one fell swoop, and took Hai Lanzhu away.Based on Huang Taiji's understanding of the fighting power of the Ming army, it is impossible to fight against the Eight Banners soldiers unless there are more than twice as many troops.Without more than five times the strength of the army, it is impossible to wipe out these elite pro-military forces of hundreds of people.But.It can quietly smuggle thousands of people to its side and rear.Could it be that the purpose of the Ming army was just to rob a woman?

In order to find out the name and purpose of this terrible Ming army, as well as the whereabouts of his concubine.Huang Taiji mobilized all the intelligence and reconnaissance forces in his hands, and wanted to find out at all costs.

Fortunately, countless scouts and sentry cavalry were thrown out, more than a dozen insider secret operations that were reluctant to use on weekdays were also urgently activated, and even businessmen who came and went between the two armies to do some shady business gave full play to their skills. role.

This is a Ming army team that should number around a thousand people, and all troops are cavalry.

Huang Taiji first knew the size of the army from the pots and stoves and the luggage found in Xiping Fort.

"Your Majesty! At the head are the Barbarian's Model Brigade and Marco!"

The first sentence of a Gebush Xian battalion soldier who was seriously injured and comatose when he woke up was to expose the identity and number of the enemy.

Then, another news came that at the mouth of the Sancha River, someone found traces of a large ship berthing.

This even scares Huang Taiji and his banner master princes to the point of peeing!

The navy of the Ming army was able to transport these troops to the mouth of the Sancha River and occupy Xiping Fort, so that more troops could be transported to cut off the rear of the Qing army from the side.The banner owners and nobles who had previously disapproved of Huang Taiji's dispatch of Dorgon to guard against the possible reinforcements from the Ming army secretly praised the emperor's wisdom and foresight in their hearts.They unanimously asked Huang Taiji to make deployment adjustments and transfer part of the troops to defend the seaside.

Before they had time to make deployment adjustments, Shanxi businessmen had already inquired about Concubine Chen from the camp of the Ming Army in Liaodong.

This sea orchid pearl was lined up by his servants on the ship where Ma Ke fled back to the Ming army's camp.Before the ship arrived at the shore, it had already disappeared.

Facing the middleman who came to spread the word, trying to redeem Hailanzhu with a lot of money and a high price, Ma Keyi wiped his beard on his mouth full of ambition, "Hailanzhu? I have already let a group of strong men make her want to be immortal." Desperate to go to the west to see the Buddha. Tell Huang Taiji to prepare his other wives too, and our old horse is going to Shenyang to comfort his wives!"

Along with the news that Hai Lanzhu had died at the hands of Ma Ke, there was also a song Qijue composed by Ma Ke that came back to Huang Taiji. "Capturing Hai Lanzhu alive with a horse, and reappearing at sea. The picture of the aftermath. To recover Shenyang Wei in the future, you will be a real man!"

However, Ma Ke can be regarded as a person who pays attention to morality. After receiving 5000 silver dollars, [-] taels of gold sand, [-] big oriental pearls, and [-] pieces of fine mink fur from the middleman, he handed over Hai Lanzhu's body to someone to bring him back. back.

Looking at the ravaged and inhuman Hai Lanzhu, Huang Taiji passed the decree to the Eight Banners with hatred, and from then on, he and Ma Ke's troops have been endless enemies!

"If we are defeated, the fate of Concubine Chen today will be the fate of my wife and children tomorrow!" Seeing the resentment on the faces of Lord Baylor, the master of the Eight Banners, and others, Huang Taiji immediately strikes while the iron is hot, and uses the fate after defeat This living fact taught everyone a lesson.

"Kill Nikan!"

"The Great Qing will win!"

"Kill Nikan!"

This group of Liaodong anti-thief leaders immediately jumped up and raised their arms and shouted for their own benefit. They wanted to use the blood and lives of the Ming army to wash away today's shame.However, this group of guys seems to have selectively forgotten how they treated the children and jade silk in the city after they broke through the city.The brutality of rape, plunder, massacre, burning and killing far exceeds what Ma Ke has done today.It's just that they were the perpetrators at the beginning.Today, he has become a victim. How can the gap be calculated in terms of morality?

Just like a certain religion, in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, the massacres of ordinary people who did not believe in their teachings were outrageous.All the males in the villages and shops of the Han nationality on both sides of the Weihe River were killed, and the females were looted into the towns and villages for the thieves' pleasure, declaring that they would change the Han people.Under the fierce attack of Zuo San Fatty, the famous executioner who suppressed the peasant uprising, this group of guys had no choice but to retreat westward.The leader, Bai Yanhu, and others joined Tsarist Russia together with Yagubo and others.Become a pawn in the invasion of China.It wasn't until the 90s that the so-called Dungan people were discovered in Central Asia. They were actually descendants of this group of people, if measured according to the evaluation standards and systems of American imperialism.These people are out-and-out religious extremists and terrorists.Later, they demanded equal treatment without shame.Even super national treatment. (Sorry, I forgot one thing. The US emperor has another standard evaluation system for measuring issues related to China. Anyone who opposes China is a Minzhu person and a dissident.)

"Your Majesty! The servants have also found out that the Ming army has begun to mobilize, and it seems that there is a large-scale attack!"

Hearing the latest military situation, Huang Taiji's black and fat face showed a strange expression!

In the camp of the Ming army at this time, the crowd was full of enthusiasm and voices.

Even in Hong Chengchou's big tent of the Chinese army, there was joy.

Wu and Ma reported the captured armor and weapons, and the captured maids and women in Hailanzhu Palace to the Supervisor with their mouths and mouths, and everyone cheered immediately.

It turns out that we are here at every step, and Jiannu can't hold it anymore!Even Huang Taiji himself can only eat one meal a day!

Everyone stared at Wu Biao's fake dragon robe presented by Huang Taiji, the slave chief, and their eyes seemed to burst into flames.After decades of hard work, when was such an important object seized?

It can be said that Wu Biao and Ma Ke have gained a lot from their sentry this time. They have killed hundreds of Jiannu elites. It is still common to capture such an important person, and to spy on them and learn the confidential military situation of Jiannu. Harvest!In particular, Ma Ke actually led Huang Taiji's favorite concubine to his turn, which was very good at motivating the morale of the army.

The Ming army at this time is no longer the period of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. The imperial court has extremely strict control over the commanding generals and rewards and punishments. If it is changed, Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang who raped the Mongolian queen, may only issue an order during the reign of Chongzhen. Stern warning.

Hong Chengchou also greatly appreciated the outstanding military achievements of Wu and Ma. Of course, these two were also very knowledgeable and interesting, and sent a batch of captured property and good war horses to the supervisor as a reward for the soldiers.

"Master Supervisor! Our army has won a new victory, and we have already found out the inside story of Jiannu. From the point of view of this general, it is time to launch a fierce attack, in order to recover Guangning first, and then sweep the court. The effect of the hole!"

Zu Dashou, the most qualified official among the generals in Eastern Liaodong, challenged Lord Superintendent on behalf of all the generals!

"Students second!" As a leader among the civil servants, Governor Qiu Minyang of Liaodong also cleaned his clothes and bowed to Governor Hong, calling for a fight.

"The last general is willing to lead the army to fight to the death, in order to pacify Liaodong, and to relieve the worries of your father!"

Liaodong General Soldier Liu Zhaoji and below, Yang Guozhu, Tang Tong, Cao Bianjiao and others all copied their hands and saluted loudly for the battle. For a while, the sound of armor leaves colliding in the entire big tent rang out.

Military spirit is available!Master Hong twisted his beard and laughed, why didn't he want to make meritorious deeds as soon as possible to calm down Huang Taiji in front of him?There have long been rumors in the capital that he is supporting troops in Liaodong with ulterior motives and so on.There was also a confidential news that the imperial court wanted to negotiate a peace because of the difficulty of food and payment and the rogues in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It is said that Ma Shaoyu, a doctor of the Ministry of war, had privately returned the envoy and was quite close.

Once the peace negotiation is successful, the Governor's years of hard work, wouldn't it be worse than the three-inch tongue of a rotten scholar? !

"My lord Zu, my lord Qiu, all generals, this governor has already decided, the army is mobilized, go to Guangning!"

As soon as this order came out, there was joy in the big tent, and all the generals knew that after this battle was over, it was time for everyone to get promoted and get rich!

The next thing is to arrange the deployment of the whole army, which town will lead the enemy, which town will respond, and which town will come and go as guerrilla support.According to Hong Chengchou's original idea, he planned to keep the Model Brigade in the central army. First, it could protect his central army, and second, it could serve as the reserve force of the whole army and go to the battlefield at any time.And the team that takes the lead.From his point of view, the best candidate is Wu Sangui's Ningyuan cavalry. If Wu Sangui and Xuanfu chief soldier Yang Guozhu go together, a young man's vigor and an old man's stability, such a combination is undoubtedly safe.

However, from the eyes of the generals, and from what he learned from below, this arrangement is not allowed!

A very simple reason, these two generals Wu.Since the war in Liaodong.Enough of the limelight, and enough military exploits.Especially Wu Biao, Lien Chan and Lian Jie, led Ma Ke, who was regarded as a waste snack by everyone, to make such an astonishing achievement this time.It seems that he is already the soul figure in the army.How does this work?

It was Wu Sangui.Because of his many meritorious service, the Liaodong Army has already had quite a few criticisms, not to mention Xuan Dajun.The Shaanxi soldiers, and even the local officers and soldiers in Liaodong, talked about it in a strange way.Even some people in his uncle's ancestral family felt sympathy for his rapid rise, so General Wu could only be temporarily idle.

"Pass down the Warlord's order!"

For the time being, Wu Biao is too lazy to care about other people's missions. He just wants to know what his own mission is, and then, who will go with him.In the end, after listening for a while, I only heard that my task was still to go back to Songshan to continue to rest and reorganize the troops, and to protect the smooth flow of grain roads from Ningyuan to Jinzhou.

Another Wu general, Wu Sangui, also had the same original mission, continuing to travel between Ningyuan and Jinzhou to guard the food road to ensure the safety of the former enemy's food, salary and baggage transportation.

For such a military order, Wu Biao cursed secretly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to gather his energy and prepare to go back to Songshan to continue training recruits, and sleep with his head covered. Anyway, his military exploits in this conquest of Liaodong were enough A memorial archway has been built in my hometown.Just like the memorial archways erected by the emperor for the ancestral family in Ningyuan City.

But Wu Sangui was cursing in his heart, and was about to step out of the shift to question the deployment arrangement of Hong Dushi. Why should I, Wu Sangui, have to transport grain, grass and ammunition on the back road, and those generals who are like waste snacks ran to Lao Tzu Go ahead to kill slaves and make meritorious service?Just as he was about to leave the shift, he found that his uncle Zu Dashou, who was sitting under the supervisor Hong Chengchou, was giving him a big wink, signaling him not to act rashly.

"Master Supervisor, I have something to tell in person."

"Master Shao Fu, please tell me!"

For Zu Dashou, Hong Chengchou has always shown great respect. First, Zu Dashou is the prince of Ming Dynasty, Shao Fu, and Zuo Dudu. In terms of official position, he is no lower than himself. He would have to end up in the same fate as the other governor of Ji Liao.

"I also have some military reports here. The youngest son Zerun among the fallen thieves and several members of the old department, Ma Guangyuan, Ma Dengyun and others sent confidantes to write a letter to this officer, claiming that the Dongnu camp lacks food and the morale of the army is not stable. The slave chief Huang Taiji also intended to withdraw his troops. At first, I couldn't believe it, because Dong Nu was good at using time, so he didn't dare to guard against it. However, today, General Wu and General Ma obtained military planes from the place where slave chief Huang Taiji favored his concubine. Thinking about it, it is absolutely true. If the army was not withdrawing soon, the slave chief would not let his concubine go back to the lair first, and even transport back all the utensils and clothing that he had usurped. Lord Supervisor, I will send someone to sneak in In the Dongnu camp, order the youngest son Zerun to contact Ma Guangyuan, Ma Dengyun and others, and when the time comes, choose the right time to do the right thing and come back after making meritorious deeds!"

Ma Guangyuan, Ma Dengyun, Zu Zerun and others were all nephews and generals of the ancestral family in Liaodong. They were captured by the Qing army during the Liaodong war, or surrendered on their own initiative. general.At this time, a letter came to explain the enemy's situation, and it meant to come back anyway.For such a situation, Hong Chengchou naturally couldn't refuse it outright, that would undoubtedly form a bond with his ancestors.

At present, Governor Hong generously agreed, and praised Zu Zerun and others, although they fell into the bandit camp by mistake, they were always loyal to the king and the country, thinking day and night about their return anyway.Then I immediately asked Zu Dashou to write letters to these people in the name of his father and the old chief, and asked them to rest assured that as long as the imperial army launched an attack on Jiannu, at a critical moment, they would fight back and make meritorious deeds, and Governor Hong would be fine. Guarantee their promotion and fortune.

In order to reassure them, Governor Hong specially ordered his staff to draft an inscription for the imperial court.Among them, the names of Zu Zerun and others are impressively listed.

Carefully received several copies of the title book, and looked at the bright red seal of the supervisor Guan Fang on it, Zu Dashou was satisfied.With these few documents, the trusted children of the ancestral family on Jianu's side, even if Jianu was defeated, they will still be high-ranking officials and generously paid on Daming's side in the future.

All the arrangements are in place, and it is imperative for Governor Hong to give him a big reward.

"All units in the army will be rewarded with one month's salary! In addition, each person will be rewarded with a catty of meat for future battles!"

As for these salaries, wine and meat, it was necessary to arrange for General Wu Sangui to go to Ningyuan and escort them to Jinzhou.

When the various ministries of the Ming army learned that the supervisor was so sympathetic to his subordinates, they burst into cheers immediately.The chiefs of the various ministries also generously announced to the entire army that the rewards of silver, wine and meat distributed this time will be distributed to everyone in full!

However, no one in the Ming army noticed that Wu Sangui's troops went to Ningyuan to escort food, wine and meat. Then, a blank area with a width of tens of miles appeared between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and there were only a dozen garrison posts along the way. , Arranging more than a hundred people to be stationed there.

The next day, Governor Hong arranged for Liu Zhaoji and Yang Guozhu to set off for Guangning first.

All rewards, silver dollars, wine and meat, will be allocated from the supervisor's office.

The two troops marched happily to Guangning.

Immediately afterwards, the second wave of Tang Tong, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others set off in a hurry.

Among the ranks, officers at all levels yelled: "Don't just stare at the reward silver, what is that? Guangning was captured, Huang Taiji was captured alive, there are plenty of silver! There are more women!"

More than half of the nine commanders of the Liaodong Ming Army have already gone to Guangning.

But the two most able to beat the troops, Wu Biao's troops rested in Songshan to train recruits, and Wu Sangui's troops went to Ningyuan to escort food and pay.

Commander Hong, who was stationed in Jinzhou, dispatched the five general troops, just waiting for the good news ahead.

Sure enough, the two veterans Liu Zhaoji and Yang Guozhu lived up to expectations and signed their names to report the victory.The two divisions of Liaodong General Army and Xuanfu General Army made heavy gains. The Qing army units encountered by the former enemy were about to collapse at the first touch, and the forwards had arrived at the city of Guangning!

Immediately afterwards, Tang Tong, the commander-in-chief of Miyun, Cao Bianjiao, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Association, and Wang Tingchen, the former commander-in-chief of the Tunwei, also arrived at the foot of Guangning City.

All of this was clearly seen by a pair of eyes.

"Okay! I have finally waited for this opportunity!"

Huang Taiji, who was in the Qingyan Temple at the southern foot of Yiwulu Mountain in Guangning, looked coldly at the Ming army team in the distance who were shouting horses and flags waving, and said these words from the corner of his mouth. (to be continued..)
