After Cao Huachun brought the good news to Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen and the cabinet were a little unconvinced, and the great victories of Shunyi, Huairou, and Miyun a few days ago were shocking enough to kill a total of 14,000 enemies.

It's only been a few days and another big victory in the new city, killing 18,000 enemies, and also beheading a Jiannu, the son-in-law of the old slave Nurhachi? This is a bit too much to say, and many ministers have even begun to suspect that the crown prince has started to kill good people.

On the second day, when a large number of heads were transported into the Beijing Division, everyone believed that the Ming army had won a great victory! The entire Jingshi immediately caused a sensation in the city!

Chongzhen ordered tens of thousands of heads to continue to pile up on the Beijing Temple in front of the West Market, for the people of Beijing to watch, in recent days, the West Market has become the place with the largest flow of people, and the people have to squeeze their heads to squeeze in to have a glimpse of the spectacular giant Beijing Temple.

The Huangming Times carried out a special edition of publicity, all the newsstands were surrounded by people, and even the teahouse and restaurant had storytellers stationed on the scene and began to use their imagination, foaming at the mouth to tell the various battles, speaking vividly, as if they had experienced it themselves.

Hundreds of officials have exerted their beautiful writing, and one after another congratulatory tables are piled up in front of Chongzhen's dragon case like snowflakes, watching Chongzhen can't close his mouth every day.

At the daily court meeting, hundreds of officials from time to time came to praise Chongzhen for a while, as if Chongzhen was compared to a holy monarch, under his leadership the Ming Dynasty wanted to prosper or something, and the princelings also praised the crown prince.

Only Wen Tiren and other Wen Party officials showed displeasure, and with the prestige of the crown prince, these princelings increasingly did not take him as the head of the cabinet in their eyes, and there were people who confronted them in front of them at several court meetings.

In the signing room of the Wenyuan Pavilion, Wen Tiren was pacing back and forth alone, his expression was unhappy, and he said to himself: "If this continues, the third voice above the court will get louder and louder." ”

Wen Tiren took advantage of Emperor Chongzhen's excitement and found a time to play: "Your Majesty, according to the battle report from the front, the slaves and thieves have withdrawn their troops and are ready to leave the customs. ”

Chongzhen nodded, and immediately announced the lifting of the Jingshi, and he was in a very comfortable mood, and Jiannu was finally driven away, and he suffered heavy losses.

Just as Chongzhen was about to announce that Zhu Cihong's class would return to the court, he received a note from the front urging the imperial court to produce grain and grass, according to which Zhu Cihong had already led a large army through Yutian, and asked the household department to transport the follow-up grain and grass to Yutian within five days.

"The crown prince is chasing Jiannu?"

The ministers were in an uproar, and even Wen Tiren was a little depressed, why did this crown prince like to fight so much? He's made a lot of contributions, what else do you want?

Zhu Cihong made it clear in the recital that he wanted to teach Jiannu a profound lesson and regain the resources of the exiled people and the Ming Dynasty.

On the second day after the Tianxiong army arrived in Xincheng, as soon as the heavy rain stopped, Zhu Cihong led a total of 24,000 people from the Yongwei Battalion, the Xinying Battalion, the Shenshu Battalion, and the Tianxiong Army, with only ten days of dry food, and marched all the way to Lengkou.

He planned to deal heavy losses before the Qing army left the customs to recapture the people and resources, because the distance and the terrain were complicated, which was not conducive to pulling artillery, the Shenji battalion did not participate in this operation and was responsible for staying in the new city.

Wang Wannian was very frustrated, but thinking about it, the Shenji Battalion had enough military exploits, and this time he had to be a deputy chief soldier for his meritorious deeds, and maybe he could still hang a position as a governor in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

The Qing army passed all the way through Zunhua and moved to the west, the elite of the Qing army was in front, the captured population and materials were slowly behind, and the defenders of the two places only followed the Qing army from a distance, and did not dare to approach the pursuit and harassment.

Seeing that the Ming army was afraid of the Qing like a tiger, Azig was in a good mood when he had lost his troops and generals, ordered people to play music, and held high the wooden planks of "all officials are exempted", and also let the captured Ming women dress up and rank in the rear army.

Liu Jingyao, the supervisor of Yongping, was angry when he saw this, and personally led the Yongping defenders out of the city to attack at night, killing more than 200 Qing troops in Zaohe Village, Qian'an.

The guards of Zunhua Santun Battalion followed the Qing army all the way, and also wanted to sneak attack a wave, but they were ambushed by the Qing army in charge of the blue flag behind the palace, and all of them were annihilated.

On September 8, Zhu Cihong led tens of thousands of cavalry to catch up with the Qing army brigade that was preparing to leave the customs in Qian'an, and the Qing army's rear reconnaissance horse found a large number of Ming troops chasing after him.

Every move of the Qing army was as early as Long Xiang and Jinyiwei under the supervision of the Qing army, and the Qing army under the command of Ahshan was ambushed by the Ming army, and the Ming army was basically wiped out except for a few people who fled.

Ah Shan fled back to the brigade with a few cavalry in embarrassment, not to mention the ambush without any gain and harassment, and also lost nearly 3,000 men and horses, and he couldn't cry in frustration.

Abatai had expected this result and did not blame Ah Shan, he knew very well the horror of this Ming army, but Azig was not as good at talking as Abatai, and was ready to deal with Ah Shan with military law.

Ah Shan is a person with a blue flag, Abatai pleaded again and again, and asked Azig to let Ah Shan go on the condition that he led his palace, Azig finally agreed happily, and he led two white flag men and horses to go out of the customs first with the captured population and materials.

The Qing army captured 180,000 people and animals of the Ming Dynasty, plus grain and grass materials or something, and could only drag a long queue through slowly, not to mention that it would take two or three days to completely get out of the pass.

Azig had long been thinking about how he would slip away first, and at this time, something happened to Ahshan, so that his plan succeeded, but Azig still took care of his seventh brother, and deliberately left the surrendered Ming general Chao Pichang and 2,000 troops to help the queen of the Abatai Palace.

The life after the surrender of the former Changping commander-in-chief Chao Pichang was very difficult, because Tai Yi was always looked down upon by the Qing army and called like a dog, and more than half of the 5,000 men who originally followed him to surrender had already run away.

At this time, when he heard that the master was going to leave him in the palace, Chao Pichang was suddenly half shocked to death, thinking that he would be able to live a good life after leaving the customs, but he didn't think that he would be used as cannon fodder.......

Abatai ordered the army to set up camp in Jianchang, mainly to defend and block the pursuing Ming army, for the arrangement of Chao Pichang, naturally unceremoniously arranged the first sequence of cannon fodder.

After eliminating the ambush of the Qing army, Zhu Cihong began to let the army repair nearby, waiting for the arrival of the rear infantry, and drove 300 miles on the muddy road in a row, and several battalions of men and horses were tired enough.

In this battle, the Yongwei Battalion sent more than 5,000 troops, the new battalion sent 11,000 troops, the Shenshu battalion sent more than 3,000 troops, and the Tianxiong Army 5,000, including several battalions of cavalry totaling 10,000 people.

On the second day, the follow-up infantry of the Ming army began to arrive one after another, and Zhu Cihong ordered a period of repair and began to prepare for the final attack on the Qing army.
