"Our dignified military department is still more trustworthy than a mere eunuch." Thinking secretly, Zhang Fengyi received the decree and left the capital angrily.

When they arrived in Zhuozhou, the Chinese army came to report: "Qi Yu Supervisor, there is a Qing army burning and looting in front, and the former army asks the Inspector to decide." ”

Zhang Fengyi was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How many Qing soldiers are there?" ”

Zhongjun said: "According to the report of the former army, there are only 200 people. ”

"But two hundred? We have tens of thousands of troops, why are we afraid of him? Hmph, wouldn't it be just right for us to make contributions? ”

Thinking secretly, Zhang Fengyi let go and sneered: "Two hundred Qing soldiers dare to be so presumptuous, and they don't take us seriously, right?" Order the front army, annihilate them. ”

The Chinese army took the order and left.

Zhang Fengyi turned around and rushed to Wang Yehao, the left waiter, and said, "What is the situation now?" ”

Wang Yehao said: "Since the Qing army entered Changping, except for the former Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Lu Jishan who was killed in Dingzhou to meet the enemy, there was almost no resistance, and successively captured Baodi, Shunyi, Wen'an, Yongqing, Xiong, Ansu, Dingxing counties and more than a dozen prefectures and counties such as Anzhou and Dingzhou. ”

Zhang Fengyi said curiously: "How can this be? Didn't the emperor order Liang Tingdong and Gao Qiqian to rush to help? “

Wang Yehao said: "The reinforcements in the distance will not arrive for a while, and Luo Weining, the lieutenant officer who supervises the military affairs of Tong, Tianjin, Lin, and Germany, and Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, are too timid to fight, and follow the Qing soldiers all the way to watch.

Gao Qi Qian is even more desperate, he doesn't dare to fight and don't say it, he also hacks people's heads to take risks, and the state and county have no military power, the so-called resistance, but it is like Lu Jishan's spontaneous organization, in the face of the Qing soldiers like wolves and tigers, how can they be undefeated? “

"That's the case, it seems that this time we are really in a catastrophe. What to do? Instead of waiting for the emperor to kill us, it is better for us to kill ourselves more happily. “

I made up my mind, but I couldn't help but think: "There's no hurry, maybe there will be a turnaround." Even if there is no turnaround, let's be happy like that, shouldn't we commit suicide in the name of fear of crime after death?

In that case, how will our family live? Well, even if we want to commit suicide, we can't let them know, if we want them to think that we are sick and died, the emperor can't embarrass a person who dies of illness.

What to do? In case the turnaround doesn't happen, let's eat rhubarb. That thing, if you eat a little less, you can't die, and if you eat it for more days, you will die, and you will die of illness. “

Wang Yehao didn't know what he was thinking, seeing that he had been silent for a long time, he was anxious, and couldn't help muttering: "But two hundred Qing soldiers, why hasn't it been solved for so long?" “

"yes, what's going on? Maybe the front army annihilated them and chased them after the victory, or maybe they would impulse the Qing army camp and annihilate them all. In that case, the emperor will not pursue it again. It's a turning point.

Also, the soldiers of the Qin kings from all over the country arrived, but the Qing soldiers still did not retreat, and it should be regarded as a turning point if they gathered again and annihilated them.

At present, there are only two turnarounds left, and although these two turnarounds are a bit fantastical, they are still turnarounds after all. “

Thinking secretly, Zhang Fengyi hurriedly said: "Yes, send someone to investigate as soon as possible, if the front army has already taken advantage of the victory to chase down, we must follow closely and strive to annihilate the Qing army." “

Wang Yehao said, "What you said is very true", and when he was about to order someone to investigate, he saw the Chinese army coming in a hurry, and before he could speak, Zhang Fengyi had already asked: "Chase down?" “

The Chinese army shook his head and said: "These Qing soldiers are really tenacious, the front army dispatched 5,000 soldiers and horses, they were not afraid, they fought and died one by one, and our side actually suffered 2,000 casualties." “

"This is only two hundred Qing troops, if you run into a large team, alas, it's over, the first turnaround is over." Zhang Fengyi was disappointed and said in disbelief: "Really? “

The Chinese army nodded firmly, and said: "That's really miserable, oh, by the way, the front army asks our army to take the next move, and ask the superintendent to decide." “

"The first transit is gone, only waiting for the second one." Thinking about it, Zhang Fengyi said: "In this case, let's go to Zhuozhou first, and then make plans when the soldiers of the Qin Wang from all over the country arrive." “

Besides, the king of Yingjun in the Qing Dynasty, Azig, failed to kill Heiyunlong, quickly judged the situation, and the two roads of men and horses made a road, and divided a small number of people and horses to monitor the Qin Wang soldiers and the Ming army that followed behind, and the remaining men and horses wantonly attacked, broke 16 cities, plundered 180,000 people and animals, cloth and other materials.

On this day, I was about to have another plan, and the person in charge of monitoring came to report: "The king of Qiyu, the soldier of the king of Qin in the Ming Dynasty, is rushing to Gyeonggi day and night, and the nearest is less than fifty miles away from our department. “

Hearing this, Azig said: "It seems that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty gave a death order, but unfortunately, the master didn't want to entangle with him, so he ordered all departments to gradually retreat north with an attack posture, and wait for them to rush over and let them pounce." “

After that, seeing that the Chinese army wanted to go, he said: "Remember, when retreating north, you must ride in colorful clothes, play music and return triumphantly, and then write the slogan of 'guest officers are exempted' to shame the Ming army." “

After entering Zhuozhou, Zhang Fengyi ordered people to keep inquiring about the movements of the Qinwang soldiers in various places, and heard that they were all close to Jinggi, and before they could rejoice, the news of the Qing army's northward retreat also came in: "The second turning point is gone, it's over, it's over, it's over." “

Nagging, Zhang Fengyi no longer hesitated, stuffed the rhubarb that had been pinched in his hand in the past few days into his mouth, stretched his neck, and swallowed it hard.

At this time, the personal slave came in and said, "Master Qiyu, Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, is here." “

Liang Tingdong was also the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he carried the black pot of levying Liao salary for Chongzhen, so he was removed and "had to stay idle".

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, he was re-appointed as the right attendant of the military department and the right capital of the imperial history. It coincided with Yang He, the father of Yang Sichang, the military governor of Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi, who died in Yuanzhou, and Yang Sichang went home to worry and took the position of governor of Yang Sichang.

Zhang Fengyi knew it and thought to himself: "What is he doing here?" Well, the designation is here to complain. Thinking secretly, he said, "It's the same person who has fallen from the end of the world, let him in." “

Zhang Fengyi's expectation was good, Liang Tingdongguo came to complain, seeing that Zhang Fengyi was also sad, sitting in the tent, sighing for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is the Inspector?" “

Zhang Fengyi said truthfully: "Why else, the previous Liukou damaged the imperial tomb in Anhui, Fengyi was lucky to avoid death, and today Jinggi was captured by the Qing army again, do you think the emperor can still spare Fengyi?" “

Liang Tingdong sighed and said: "The Inspector is very much, and it is difficult to spare the emperor's person. Alas, even if the emperor wants to spare us, how can those officials who stand and talk without backache let us go?"

Zhang Fengyi said: "Yes, when I left Beijing, I was already playing like a rain, and at this time it is even more important to designate, alas." As he spoke, he inadvertently shook his sleeves, and a grain of rhubarb actually fell out and landed in front of Liang Tingdong.

Liang Tingdong picked it up unprepared, understood his intentions, secretly put it in his arms, said a few more polite words, and when he returned home, he also began to eat.
