Blood from Daming

Chapter 824

The gunshots from Xue Jiajun made Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong terrified. The forward of Xue Jiajun was too accurate. Half of the first echelon of 4000 people had been reimbursed. Wang Ziyong gritted his teeth and ordered the second echelon to attack. The four thousand rebels in the second echelon crawled slowly like a snail.

Holding a few lead bullets in bloody hands, the little red wolf came to Wang Ziyong and said, "Prime Minister, the bullets dug out from the bodies of the brothers who died in battle are much larger than the bullets of the general Ming army. It was very deep, hidden in the bones in the abdomen, and some bullets even penetrated the body."

Wang Ziyong and others knew that the little red wolf had gone to play with the corpse. The little red wolf said: "Prime Minister, this should be a firearm used by the Hongmao Fan people in Fujian and Guangdong. This kind of firearm is rare among the Hong Mao Fan people." I don’t know how the Xue family’s army has so many Western firearms.”

Wang Ziyong asked in surprise: "You mean that the Xue family army colluded with the Hongmao Fan people."

The little red wolf said: "Prime Minister, I don't know if Xue's army is colluding with the Hong-haired Fan people, but the Hangzhou area where Xue's army is entrenched is near the sea, and the red-haired merchants are only looking for profit. willing to sell."

Wang Ziyong said: "It's no wonder that the Prime Minister has never seen this kind of firearm in Gao's army, and he has never heard of it in Datong's Xue's army. In this way, the Xue's army is the strongest and the Hangzhou side is the first."

The little red wolf said: "Xue Yun's expedition to Mobei, Datong Xue's army is empty, Mizhi Gao's army is just armed by Xue Yun's concubine, Hangzhou is the gathering place of Xue's army's southern goods, its strength should not be underestimated, I heard that Megatron Xue Zhuang Xue's army from Gyeonggi went south to Hangzhou, and the two forces of Xue's army in Hangzhou merged, which is not something us rebels with sticks and blades can contend with."

Wang Ziyong was silent for a while, and at this time Ma Shouying said inappropriately: "Prime Minister, almost half of our Erba troops have been killed or injured."

Wang Ziyong looked up and saw that it was indeed the case. Although the attack of the second echelon was as slow as a snail crawling, the snails also crawled around. Seeing Xue Jiajun shooting firearms at his own men, Wang Ziyong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Come out, but Wang Ziyong can become the prime minister in the Fugu Rebel Army, he is a real second-in-command, and it is impossible without some dry goods.

Wang Ziyong regretted messing with the Xue family army. It turned out that General Xue was many times stronger than he imagined. Now thinking of his boss Wang Jiayin, he felt a little ashamed. This Xue family army is so powerful that it does not help the court to calm the chaos. He didn't rise up to seize the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Xue Yun's gourd.

Wang Ziyong's thoughts came alive. The Xue family's army has a lot of room to make a fuss about. It's better to save people's favors so that we can meet in the future. Now Wang Ziyong doesn't want to fight, but in fact he can't do it even if he wants to. Lie down on the ground, no one is willing to step forward to die.

The little red wolf saw Wang Ziyong's intentions and said: "Master Prime Minister, our rebel army fought with Xue's army. In the end, both sides will suffer. We have benefited the court officials and soldiers for nothing. Why don't we turn our hostility into friendship with Xue's army."

Wang Ziyong stared at the little red wolf, thinking that this person is thicker than himself, and after a battle like this, he has to shake hands and make peace with him. He really can't do it, but he can borrow the little red wolf's words and say: " Let's talk about the alliance later, in order to avoid the two armies continuing to make unnecessary sacrifices, our rebel army took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield, Wang Ziyong returned to his horse and left, and the little red wolf immediately sent an order to withdraw the troops."

Just when Ji Tianen didn't know when the battle would end, the Fugu rebels retreated like a tidal wave, and this retreat never looked back, not even the corpses of the wounded soldiers, walking so cleanly It was such a joy, not only Ji Tianen was stunned, but all the officers and men of the Xue family army and the caravan were unbelievable, such bandits were indeed cruel and merciless. After a long time, everyone understood that they had defeated the bandits who came to rob, and the [-] Xue family army and the caravan immediately cheered stand up.

Li Zhizhou rode his horse out of the chariot formation excitedly, came to Ji Tianen's side and said: "General Ji, today I can see the true face of the Xue family army, it is really the best army in the world."

Wen Cunyang was even more blunt: "General Ji, my Wupingguan officers and soldiers will rein in their troops. I hope that General Xue Yun will issue an order. I still want to make a hereditary replacement for my descendants."

Ji Tianen replied with a smile: "When the general returns to Daming, it will be the day of Ming's revival."

Li Zhizhou was puzzled and asked: "General Ji, is it possible that General Xue is going to be Yiyi and Duke Zhou?"

Ji Tianen knew that Li Zhizhou had misunderstood, he hesitated for a moment, called Li Zhizhou and Wen Cunyang a little closer and said in a low voice: "We are all on our own, so you must keep what this general said secret."

When Li Zhizhou and Wen Cunyang heard that there was an important secret, they nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, and then Ji Tianen said: "My general is the authentic direct line of Emperor Jianwen, so naturally he is Zhongxing Daming, but what should Zhu Di do after the traitor?" Wherever it’s cool, go where it’s cool.”

Wen Cunyang was overjoyed when he heard this, but Li Zhizhou was skeptical about whether Xue Yun was Emperor Jianwen. However, Xue Yun ascended the throne as a descendant of Emperor Jianwen, and no one can be picky about the success of the country. Thinking of the stigma of the court, the stone that Li Zhizhou had accumulated in his heart for a long time fell to the ground, and he looked at Ji Tianen with a knowing smile.

Facing the nearly [-] casualties of the Fugu Rebel Army, the Xue family's army, except for the caravan drivers and civilian husbands, picked up some souvenirs, and the army left the battlefield without committing any crimes. They also took away a large number of weapons, armor, flags, etc. That’s how the Pingyang government soldiers who came two days later still found a large number of trophies and heads, and reported a great victory in Pingyang to Emperor Chongzhen. There are many promotions for meritorious service.

On November [-]th of the third year of Chongzhen, the Hangzhou caravan arrived at Datong Mansion, which made Datong City, which had been stagnant due to the shrinking of the mouth, become lively again. The goods of [-] carts could make the soldiers and civilians of Datong City have a good time. I made a lot of money, and this year's New Year's Eve should be a good one.

That night in the General Army Mansion of Datong Town, Ji Tianen, Li Zhizhou, Lei Batian, and Wen Cunyang were invited by his wife, Yu Shi, to accompany Xue Liu, Yang Zhenlei and other generals of the Xue family's army. It is enough for Mrs. Yu to express his loyalty. Li Zhizhou knew that the fate was in Xue's family, so he said a lot of words of loyalty to Mrs. Yu, and hinted that he was willing to obey Mrs. Yu's orders.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yu's answer is that as long as Li Zhizhou is loyal to Xue Yun, it is enough. Li Zhizhou secretly praised Mrs. Yu for having the legacy of the founding mother, not authoritarian and not forming factions, and setting an example for the world with righteousness. Serving the Xue family wholeheartedly, preparing for a great future.

Li Zhizhou and Wen Cunyang stayed in Datong City for ten days. They received many rewards from Mrs. Yu and met many Xue family generals. It can be said that they gained a lot. Yan Sanniang's letter led the Hangzhou caravan to leave Datong City and return to Hangzhou, along with Li Zhizhou and Wen Cunyang.

Today's Datong City Yu Wanqin is in full charge of the government affairs of Xue Yun's General Army Mansion. The arrival of the Hangzhou caravan can be said to be timely. It has temporarily solved the export trade supplies to Mongolia, and it has also reduced the amount of foreign goods squeezed by Datong City. Stabilizing Datong's economy also plays a role. Yu Wanqin accepted Ji Tianen's idea and decided to defend the trade route from Datong to Hangzhou by force. That is to say, in the future, if anyone wants to touch the caravan of Xue's army, they may pay a heavy price.

The happy event of the arrival of the Hangzhou caravan had just passed when Yu Wanqin received a letter from Harijula. The letter mainly mentioned two things. Sub-department Taiji Luo Yierzabu Mergen Taiji, Aruisut Tebu Taijiqi Sandarhan, Garma Yildun and other subordinates successively surrendered to Huang Taiji, and Lin Danhan asked Xue's army to join forces. The second thing is that in the fourth year of Chongzhen, there was news that Jianlu cast a cannon in red. It is said that the cannon was engraved with the words: God bless the name of the general. Xue Jiajun firearms.

Yu Wanqin discussed with Ao Lan, Lian Zi, and Jiang Yun, and felt that the matter of Jianlu making guns and cannons was too big, so Yu Wanqin urgently recruited Xue Liu and Yang Zhenlei to discuss the matter. Xue Liu and Yang Zhenlei learned that the mistress Harijula After the news in the letter, Xue Liu was the first to express his position: "Ma'am, our Xue family army must severely punish Jianlu for making muskets and cannons, but let's forget about cooperating with Lin Danhan."

Xue Liu's words have something to say. At the end of March this year, Huang Taiji left the customs with a large number of property and population. Yu Wanqin joined forces with Lin Dan Khan through Hari Zhula to attack them. Who knew that Lin Dan Khan refused to send troops south, the excuse was Chaha Erbu's ice and snow horses should not go far with thin hair, this reason almost didn't kill Yu Wanqin.

Encouraged by Yang Zhenlei, Yu Wanqin still decided to dig a piece of meat from Huang Taiji, but Xue Liuyuan, the main force of the Datong Army, was in Gyeonggi, and Yu Wanqin asked Yu San to persuade her father to send 5000 troops in Datong, and Luo Guohui, the commander of Datong Town, sent [-] troops. Yang Zhenlei led two thousand Xue family troops, a total of [-] horses, to meet Hari Zhula's Mongolian cavalry.

In addition to Aruhan's 4000 Mongolian troops, there are also those living under Harijula's banner: Xue Jiu, Xue Shi, Xue Qingyi, Xiao Canjiang, Liu Guoyong's remnant [-] people, and the Mierliang tribe and its flying eagle flag Participating in the war, on the line of Daning outside the Guan of Jizhen, Xue's army united with troops, taking advantage of the weak transportation team of Jianlu, and snatched back about [-] carts of property and nearly [-] Ming people. Hundreds of carts of property, half of the seized property was distributed to Hari Zhula, Xue Jiu, and Mie Erliang, and half was distributed to the rescued Ming people. [-]% of these people returned to Daming after entering the customs from Ji Town.

However, the Xue family army of Datong did not get anything. They were still eighty miles north of Wanquan in Xuanfu. The loss of the Xue Family Army's joint force also reached about 3000 people. In the end, Yu San and Luo Guohui's troops got some spoils.
