Blood from Daming

Chapter 98
Xue Yun, Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch of the supervising army, and Zhao Zhifu of Datong gathered together in the Jianjun Mansion. Zhang Gonggong and Zhao Zhifu were very excited about defeating Jianzhou Huang Taiji and Abatai, and they praised Xue Yun for a long time.

Xue Yun and the two had finished talking before telling them some more important things: "In this battle, the Chahar Lindan Khan and the Horqin Anti-Gold National Defense Army both contributed a lot. Lin Dan Khan defeated the five thousand Jianzhou The Jurchen troops shot and killed Jianzhou Niuluzhang Jingboerjin, and killed more than 3000 Tartars. Later, they met the defeated Jurchen soldiers on the road and killed more than 700 Tartars. Lin Dan Khan’s men shot and killed King Jin Khan Nurhachi's grandson, Sahalian, the Horqin Anti-Gold National Guard Army assisted the Ming army in fighting, killed more than 2000 enemies, and suffered hundreds of casualties, and has now returned to his hometown of Horqin Grassland."

Zhao Zhifu of Datong said: "General Xue sent 7000 troops from Datong this time, and he only came back in the early 3000s, and he suffered a lot of losses. I made a rough count in Datong Prefecture, and the 100 soldiers who died in battle were paid 30 taels per person according to the standard. It is 10 taels of silver. The subsidy for injured soldiers should be around 17 taels of silver. If you get 15% of the reward silver from the department, you will burn the incense if you can get three layers, and you don’t know that you can get it in the year of the monkey.”

Xue Yun: "The Horqin Anti-Gold National Guard Army divided half of the horses. As for the expedition silver and reward silver, they all left, so naturally they used those horses to offset them. Chahar Lindan Khan exchanged some furs and animals. The piles of tattered swords and guns of the Jianzhou Tartars, the clothes and armor of the dead, whatever goods, they can be folded into silver and filled in."

The magistrate Zhao of Datong turned around and asked the master behind him, and then said: "It was originally estimated to be 60 taels of silver. After deducting about 10 taels of silver from the Horqin Anti-gold National Defense Army, and then replacing Lin Danhan's fur and animals with silver, it is about 20 taels. The Datong Mansion can bear the shortfall of tens of thousands of silver, but in this way, the life of the officials of the Datong Mansion will not be able to celebrate the New Year this year."

Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch of the supervising army, said: "Everyone has shared some bonuses from foreign transactions. Tell the people below to bear with it and I will press the household department to tighten up. Those money will never escape."

Next, Xue Yun, Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch of the supervising army, and Zhao Zhifu of Datong determined the distribution of the final credit, and arranged for the following clerks to sort out the list of meritorious personnel as soon as possible to report to the court.

Some adjustments have also been made in Datong Prefecture, such as the deployment of troops in the jurisdiction and local security, the repair of the city defense fortress and the arrangement plan for the end of the year, etc.

Xue Yun proposed to Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the supervising army, and the magistrate Zhao of Datong that he wanted to send people to other places to recruit some soldiers back. The resources of soldiers in Datong Mansion had already dried up. Eunuch Zhang, the eunuch of the supervising army, and the magistrate of Datong also expressed their support. , the Tartars have killed so many people this time, they will definitely retaliate next year, and if there are fewer soldiers and horses, everyone's lives will be over in time.

It was already evening when Xue Yun returned to the General Military Mansion, but the General Military Mansion was still very popular. Xue Liu, Lu Yaojin, Li Xiaoyong Ba Zong, Yu Si Ba Zong, Lian Xiong Wei Ba Zong, and Ji Tianen Ba Zong always waited for Xue Yun. When Yun was eating, General Liang, Mr. Fei Qian, Mr. Wang Qian, Mr. Wang, Mr. You Qian and others came to join in the fun and meet with Shangguan to congratulate Xue Yun for his great achievements.As soon as Xue Yun arrived, the banquet started immediately. Everyone toasted Xue Yun together. After the three cups were over, they chatted with each other. up.

The people in the hall were almost gone, Xue Yun sat at a table with Xue Liu, Yang Zhenlei, Lu Yaojin, Li Xiaoyong, Yu Si, Lian Xiongwei and Ji Tianen.

Xue Yun asked: "Tian En, I remember you should be from Shaanxi, is there anyone else in your family?"

Ji Tianen: "General, I am from Suide Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi Province. The villain is an orphan, but some old people in the clan helped me."

Xue Yun: "Suide is a good place. I heard that there is a local saying that Suidehan, Auntie Mi Zhi, is a place where people come out."

Ji Tianen hesitated: "Does the general have any orders?"

Xue Yun: "For the money of your elder brother Wang Kui's brothers, I think you go to visit them. They all beat the Tartars to death. Go back and send money to their families, and also rectify the names of their families. What do you think?"

Ji Tianen was so excited that he burst into tears: "Thank you General, thank you General for your great kindness, I will repay you with death."

Xue Yun: "You go back this time and Li Xiaoyong will be with you. Now that the team is short of people, I will try to recruit some soldiers in Shaanxi. I have already reported to the imperial court as a general manager, so you can go back with this identity. If a man has fame, he will naturally ask for help." For those who return home, Zhenlei will prepare 1000 taels of silver for Tianen when Zhenlei leaves later." Ji Tianen was so moved that he thanked him repeatedly.

Only Xue Yun and Xue Liu were left in the hall. Xue Yun: "Sixth Brother personally takes care of the rewards and pensions issued by the officers and men of the Xue family. The prefectures and counties recruited some people to supplement the troops on the Henan border, there should be a big war next year, well, Sixth Brother, you should also settle down."

Xue Liu quickly shied away: "Young master, don't worry about me."

Xue Yun: "Take care of the matter of An's family, or I'll ask the matchmaker to decide for you, but just now Datong Mansion sent a few girls, and I have asked Li Xiaoyong to send the two good ones to your courtyard."

Xue Liu: "Master, I don't need it."

Xue Yun: "I've given it to you, as a concubine, as a slave, or as a gift, you can figure it out." Xue Liu looked helpless after hearing this.

Xue Yun patted away with a smirk on his face, leaving Xue Liu standing in the hall, thinking about it and then left with his head down.Xue Yun's small courtyard was a bit cold today, Miss Yu plunged into the Yu Mansion after she came back, and never came over. In fact, Xue Yun didn't care much about this fake Fengxuhuang stuff. The real reason is that Hari Zhula also kept her side My heart was empty on the other side of the wall, and only after I entered the inner room did I realize that Ao Lan and Lian Zi had spent a lot of money tonight, dressed up in fancy dress, with thin powder and daisies, and the scent was fragrant. When Xue Yun came back, the two of them went up and pulled one Arm, welcome Xue Yun into the inner room.

Huang Taiji, Abatai, and Yue Tuo fled all the way to Shengjing with their remnants. Many people from the five Mongolian Khalkha tribes fled halfway. When 6000 people arrived in Liaoyang, Shengjing, only 3000 remained. Huang Taiji and Abatai did not kill deserters. On the way back, relying on the help of other Jurchen Baylor and Taiji, they fled to Shengjing. Huang Taiji, Abate, and Yue Tuo did not dare to enter the city, and brought more than 1 people to kneel Weeping loudly outside Shengjing City.

King Nurhachi of the Jin Kingdom Khan received a report from his servants: Huang Taiji, Abatai, and Yuetuo had lost the battle and dared not enter the city.

Nurhachi was in a cold sweat when he heard that, and he didn't dare to come back if he needed to cry outside the city for any defeat. He immediately ordered Baylor, Taiji, Han civil servants, and Eight Banners generals from Shengjing to be called into the palace to discuss matters, so that Huang Taiji, Abatai, and Yue Ask them to kneel down and report the battle situation first.

It didn’t take long for noble officials from the Kingdom of Jin to arrive, including Dabeile Daishan, fourth son Tang Gu, sixth son Tabai, ninth son Babutai, eleventh son Babuhai, twelfth son Azig and Eight Banners general Zuo Gushan Beizi Jiala, Hanchen Fan Wencheng, Tong Yangxing, Li Yongfang, etc.

At this time, the subordinate servants reported the situation of the battle: 3000 people were killed in the Jurchen Ministry and the five Mongolian Khalkha tribes, and [-] people were lost. , the captive Niu Luzhang Jing Yaxichan and others were captured, the loss of nearly [-] horses, and the loss of various weapons and countless banners, including the main banner of the Eight Banners, Zhenghong Banner, and so on.

Nurhachi held his breath and listened for a long time without making a sound. My God, he lost more than 2 people in several battles with the Datong Army of the Ming Dynasty. The Eight Banners of the Jin Dynasty had a total of 76 Niulu, of which 2 were Mongolian Niulu. One, the Han army had sixteen Niulu, with a strength of just over 1. More than [-] prodigal sons such as Huang Taiji, Abatai, and Yue Tuo died at once, including nearly [-] Jurchen members of their own. Dajin will soon perish if the battle is fought a few more times.

Nurhachi was so angry that he ordered his subordinates to pull all these guys out and kill them. The civil and military officials below heard this, how could they kill them as soon as they heard them? By then you will regret that there are no more people, so everyone quickly knelt down and begged Nurhachi for mercy. For a while, Baylor, Taiji, Han Wenchen, and Eight Banners generals knelt around Nurhachi. Seeing everyone pleading for mercy, Nurhachi really wanted to kill his children and grandchildren, but he just spoke out in a hurry. Xiapo ordered his servants to lock up Huang Taiji, Abatai, and Yuetuo.

Nurhachi immediately ordered Qi Jin Guo's troops to slaughter Datong City, and Xue Yun was captured and slaughtered to relieve his hatred.

The civil and military officials of the Kingdom of Jin saw that Nurhachi was looking at each other in anger and did not speak. After Nurhachi yelled and vented, Fan Wencheng, the Minister of the Kingdom of Jin, said cautiously: "Will King Khan wait until after the founding ceremony is held to conquer the Datong Mansion of the Ming Kingdom?" .”

Although Nurhachi was rude, he was also a delicate and caring person. He understood as soon as Fan Wencheng finished speaking. Tens of thousands of Mongols and Han people died, but it was the Jurchens who died, tens of thousands of people died, how many of us Jurchens can stand this kind of death.

Nurhachi said to the ministers smoothly: "According to what Fan Xueshi said, we will send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty immediately after the founding of the country, and Chahar Lindan Khan, Horqin Wu Keshan and other shameless people. I will kill all their clansmen. their wives and daughters, and their cattle and sheep.”

The Datong army of the Ming Dynasty defeated more than 3 Jurchens led by Baylor and Taiji, the descendants of King Nurhachi of the Jin Dynasty, Huangtaiji, Manggurtai, Abatai, Yuetuo, etc. , Mongolian coalition forces, killing tens of thousands of enemies.The news spread to all parts of the capital, and the people in the city rushed to tell each other and set off firecrackers to express their congratulations. A large number of people rushed to the inner city of the palace, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Emperor Tianqi in the Forbidden City, thanking the emperor for his wisdom and wisdom. God bless.

The Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty rarely held another court meeting today. When the six hundred miles of Datong Mansion delivered one hundred thousand urgent official documents to the Ministry of War, the Ming army postman had already shouted the news, and all the officials in the capital rushed to the palace one after another. The Ming Dynasty won a rare big victory over the Jurchen Nurhachi. Everyone hopes to understand some details and know some truths, and then see if there will be any official business in the court. Everyone looks at each other when they arrive. Today is really lively. All came, so the good friends greeted each other and asked about the details of this great victory.

But most officials are in the dark, and there is some news that everyone can't agree with. It is rumored that the Datong Army has [-] to break the [-] Tartar soldiers. Jianzhou Jurchen is not far from the country. , Tai Ji died a lot, and it is even more exaggerated to say that Xue Yun has captured countless Jurchen concubines and is about to present them to the emperor.
