Daming wolf ride

"How many Liao soldiers does Kong Youde have in his army?"

Chongzhen was a little anxious, Kong Youde caused chaos in Wuqiao, Hebei, not far from the capital, if not suppressed as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous.

Gao Qiqian knew what the emperor was worried about, so he hurriedly replied: "The Denglai emergency document said that Kong Bandit had eight hundred veteran Liao soldiers in his army, and thousands of bandits attached to him. Most of them were civilians in Hebei who were coerced by Kong Bandit."

Hearing that Kong Youde had so many soldiers and horses, and that they were coerced civilians into the army, his combat effectiveness must be very poor. Chongzhen immediately felt relieved, and Xuan felt angry again. , What the hell is Sun Yuanhua doing, can he be the governor!"

Seeing that the emperor became anxious again, Cao Huachun hurriedly said: "The emperor calm down, Kong Youde is just a clown, even if there is a response from the old Liao army, his army will not have too many troops, but if the bandits occupy Dengzhou, they will be wiped out again. It will be difficult." [

Chongzhen's breath was heavy, and he snorted a few times as if he was sullen, then turned his head and asked Gao Qiqian suddenly: "You know about military affairs, what good strategy do you have to put down the Confucian rebellion?"

Gao Qiqian had already made up his mind, so he blurted out: "I think I should choose a cadre and supervisor to go to the conquest, transfer the Lu soldiers from Shandong, and the Zhejiang soldiers from Henan to Qingzhou for unified dispatch, and transfer the local troops from Denglai. Assist, cut off the Kong bandits going west and go north, and force them to be trapped in the Denglai area. If this is the case, if we choose good generals to attack, the Kong bandits will be defeated."

"En." Chongzhen nodded approvingly, and asked him again: "Who do you think can supervise the troops?"

Gao Qiqian said with some embarrassment: "Long Live Lord, slaves are servants..."

Chongzhen knew that he was afraid of being accused of government interference by his ministers, so he didn't blame him. He waved his hands and said in disapproval: "Don't worry too much, this is what I'm asking you, it doesn't count as interference in politics, so you can boldly say it is."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After being affirmed by Chongzhen, Gao Qiqian said with confidence: "This servant thinks that Zhu Dadian, the censor of the capital of Youqin, is capable and talented. He has made great contributions in resisting the invasion of "Hong Mao Fan" in Fujian. It is most appropriate for him to supervise the troops."

When Cao Huachun heard that Gao Qiqian was Zhu Dian, he snorted secretly, that Zhu Dian has been very close to Gao Qiqian recently, why didn't he know that Gao Qiqian's mansion outside the palace is Zhu Dian Sent.Now that he has risen up and dived to the emperor Zhu Dadian, it is not a reciprocation.

Zhu Dadian is also known to Chongzhen. He was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He served as the chief secretary in Fujian during the Tianqi period. A capable servant.At least, compared to the officials of the Donglin Party, Zhu Dadian is still capable of doing things.

At present, there is no suitable candidate in the DPRK for the post of governor. Chongzhen thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "That's okay, I will draw up an order. I will write Zhu Dadian as the governor of Shandong, and supervise Lu soldiers and Zhejiang soldiers in Qingzhou. After dispatching troops, I will advance." Suppress Kong Youde's rebels."

"According to the order!"

Gao Qi was overjoyed with great concentration, but he begged loyally: "Long Live Lord, this servant is willing to accompany Master Zhu to oversee the army and go to conquer the Kong bandits!"

Hearing this, Chongzhen couldn't help being moved, and looked at Gao Qiqian with emotion and said: "I never thought that Qiqian would take the initiative to share the worries of your father, don't avoid difficulties, and don't fear bandits. Army eunuch, go to Shandong with Zhu Dadian, see the potential to live up to my expectations, and strangle Kong thief as soon as possible!"

"Long live Lord, don't worry, the servants will definitely live up to the holy hope!"

The goal was achieved, not only for Zhu Dadian, but also for himself a good opportunity to make meritorious service and make a fortune. Gao Qiqian was so happy that he couldn't wait to go to Zhu Dadian, but his face was full of loyalty, as if It is his dream to be able to share the worries of the emperor.

Seeing his hypocrisy, Cao Huachun looked a little evil, and turned his head away from him.

Naturally, Chongzhen would not know what these two slaves were thinking, let alone the real purpose of Gao Qiqian, Zhu Dadian and Yingying to go out on the expedition. He only felt that Gao Qiqian did not live up to his trust in him, and he was able to stand up at critical times. To share his own worries, if the courtiers in foreign courts were like Gao Qiqian, how could the state affairs be so unbearable.

He waved his hand wearily: "I'm tired, you all go down. The thief Kong will be handed over to Qi Qian. Over there in Jinzhou, let's discuss it after the detailed report tomorrow."

"Slaves leave!" [

Cao Huachun and Gao Qiqian both retreated, while Lu An quickly asked Chongzhen where to rest. Chongzhen, who was a little upset by the Liaodong military newspaper and the Kong thief, was not in the mood to go to Tian Fei's place again, and rested in Qianqing Palace that night. up.

…………

After it was finally confirmed that the Jin army retreated, the gate of Jinzhou City was slowly opened. Shi Dayong sent people out of the city to harvest the heads of the Jin army. There are 460 wounded soldiers from the Han army and 570 wounded soldiers from Manchuria.

The loss of the Ming army was about 400 people, and the casualty ratio between the enemy and the enemy was four to one, that is, one Ming army replaced four golden soldiers. Such a casualty ratio made Qiu Hejia happy.

After seeing the heads of the slaves with their own eyes, the governor's yamen and the magistrate's yamen rushed to the capital one after another to report their victory.

There was another piece of bad news that came to Beijing along with the victory report——Zu Dashou led the soldiers and civilians of Dalinghe City to surrender gold.

However, under the tacit understanding of both the military and the government, the victorious messenger deliberately suppressed the news of Zu Dashou's conferment of gold. The cities he passed along the way only knew about the great victory of Jinzhou, but others knew of Zu Dashou's conferment of gold.

.........

"Great victory, great victory, great victory in Jinzhou, great victory in Jinzhou! Nearly ten thousand Jiannu heads were beheaded!"

Before dawn, when the Zhengyangmen gate was opened, more than a dozen riders galloped over. The riders waved the good news in their hands and shouted happily.The beheaded heads of the Jin army have already become nearly ten thousand in their mouths.

"Great victory, great victory! Great victory in Jinzhou, more than 180 slaves and thieves were born, and they will be sacrificed soon!"

At first, the common people didn't quite believe it. After batch after batch of victory messengers galloped past, the people suddenly boiled up, and many young people excitedly ran towards the imperial city behind the victory horses.

The entire capital has been a sensation.

When the first victory report was sent to the Ministry of War, several officials on duty in the Ministry of War were stunned. They knew that Jinzhou had repelled Jiannu's attack, but no one expected that they would behead nearly 100 Jiannu and capture more than [-] Jiannu alive. slave.Bring the victory report over, look left and right, ask around, still a little unconvinced, until the second and third batch of victory reports came, they believed that Jinzhou really won the battle, after reacting, a servant led Following the two doctors, several principals rushed to the imperial city.

The eunuch on duty at the gate of the palace was startled when he saw a group of military officials running over as if driven by ghosts. When he saw the good news, he trembled and flew away as if possessed by ghosts. The hall ran, shouting while running: "Your Majesty, great victory, great victory!"

The officials who were attending the meeting heard the shouts outside the hall, and they all turned around in shock to look outside the hall. Chongzhen raised his heart in his throat, thinking that there was another bad news.

In the main hall, there was a person standing there calmly, neither listening to what was shouting outside, nor turning around to look, just staring at Chongzhen in the main hall.
