Since Jiannu entered the customs, the Forbidden City has been shrouded in a tense and uneasy atmosphere, all the eunuchs, palace maids, etc. are walking on thin ice, trembling, even a few elders who enter and leave the palace every day, they are always cautious.

Zhu Youzhen is angry every day, as long as there is military information sent to the palace, Zhu Youzhen will inevitably be furious, from the fall of Longmen, the fall of Dushikou Fort, the victory fort, the dining fort, and then to the news of the fall of various states and counties, making him more and more angry day by day.

Especially after learning that Baoan City fell, Zhu Youzhen scolded everyone who appeared in front of him, as well as the governor of Xuanda, the governor, the general of the army, the guerrilla garrison, and so on.

Just a few days later, Zhu Youzhen, who had not slept peacefully for a long time, stared at Wen Tiren and other powerful ministers below with red eyes on the Hongde Palace, and wanted to wait for them to come up with countermeasures, when a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, and a eunuch shouted all the way in a sharp voice: "Emperor, great victory, great victory......

Zhu stood up with wide eyes, and looked straight at the palace gate.

Wen Tiren and the other courtiers also turned around one after another, looking at the eunuch who almost crawled in in surprise.

"Emperor, great victory, great victory!"

"Shanxi guerrilla Qinchuan led the army from Ningwu Pass to the north, first defeated a partial division of the Dongnu Red Banner in Mayi, and then defeated the Dongnu Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Wanyan Yechen fifty miles east of Mayi, and then entered Shanyin County in the east, defeating the Dongnu Dabeile Daishan and Yue Zhi father and son."

"So far, Qinchuan has won all four battles, all of them are big victories, more than 10,000 have been beheaded, and a number of Dongnu generals such as the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Wanyan Yechen have been captured......"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the expression on Zhu Youzhen's face froze, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried.

The courtiers below also had strange faces, and no one dared to say good, and no one dared to say bad.

"Why is it Qin Chuan again!"

After a while, Zhu Youzhen popped out a sentence inexplicably, and then sat back on the dragon chair, with a complicated expression on his face.

There are more than 100,000 Xuanda border troops, more than 20,000 Liaodong reinforcements, and hundreds of thousands of troops, but they have not won a single battle, but it is the ambition of the wolf, but the deviant Qin Chuan has won successive battles, and there are more than 10,000 beheadings.

This must have been a huge blow to Dongnu, and it should have been a joyous thing, but ...... Zhu Youzhen really couldn't be happy.

The one surnamed Qin who has been divided is undoubtedly opposed!

can fight and win successes, can break Dai Shan and Yue Zhi father and son, and can behead the whole thing, which is enough to prove that Qin Chuan's military strength is not what it used to be, and it is so strong that the Ming Dynasty is afraid of it.

Wen Tiren saw Zhu Youzhen's worries, and hurriedly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Chuan and Dongnu are lions and tigers fighting, even if they defeat Dongnu, there will be damage, and it may not be a good thing for Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty can order Qin Chuan to continue the decisive battle of the slaves and thieves in the east, so that it can compete with the Eastern slave and the snipe and the mussels, and both will lose, at that time, Your Majesty can order the army to attack the Dongnu first, and then suppress Qinchuan, and eradicate the two great enemies of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."

After listening to Wen Tiren's words, Zhu Youzhen frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded, and his face softened.

"Then according to what Wen Qing said, I will order Qin Chuan to go east and fight a decisive battle with Jiannu."

"Yes!"

On the same day, a holy decree was sent out of the capital and went straight to Datong Town.

But within a few days, another good news was sent to the Forbidden City: the main force of Dongnu was frustrated at Ningwu Pass, and the specific battle situation is unknown, but the Dongnu Fourth Route Army has been assembled in Yingzhou, and went north to Fort Sheng, and is about to withdraw its troops from the pass.

Three days later, news came from Datong Town again: the main force of Dongnu had been withdrawn from the border wall of Desheng Fort under the leadership of the slave chieftain Emperor Taiji, and countless people had been robbed of money and food.

At the same time, there were several secret letters sent back to the Forbidden City, saying that Qin Chuan sold the heads of Dongnu and Tatar at a clear price, and the number reached more than 23,000 levels, as well as Dongnu Gushan Ezhen and other prisoners.

After watching these secret performances, Zhu Youzhen was shocked and angry, and was surprised that Qinchuan had won more than 20,000 heads, which was already more than 30% of the total strength of Dongnu entering the customs this time.

Being able to win so many heads proves that Qin Chuan's military strength is stronger than he imagined.

Angry, the guy did not escort the head of the Dongnu to the capital, but sold it at a clear price, and even said in the secret music that many officials and guards were raising money and food, ready to buy the head from the surnamed Qin!

In addition to being angry, Zhu Youzhen immediately drafted a decree to spread the word to all parts of the country, but there are those who buy the first level of merit, and they will be punished severely!

At the same time, post-mortem accountability has begun.

Wen Tiren, Zhang Fengyi and others were anxious to find someone to shirk their responsibilities, and after a series of connections, everyone in the Wen Party took turns to go up and start to impeach frantically.

Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, Jiao Yuanqing, the governor of Xuanzhen, Zhang Quanchang, the chief soldier, Wang Kun, the supervisor of the army, Hu Zhanen, the governor of Datong, Cao Wenzhao, the chief soldier, Liu Wenzhong, the governor of Shanxi, Dai Junen, the chief soldier, Zhang Yingchang, and Liu Zhongyun, the supervisor, and other officials and generals of the three places of Jin and Xuanda were all spared, and they were all in the list of impeachments of the courtiers in Beijing.

Now, these people are either escorting Qian Liang to Ningwuguan to buy the head, or silently packing up their belongings, preparing to be dismissed and confiscated into the army, or even killed.

Some people know that their official positions are not guaranteed, and some still want to struggle.

As for the many generals, guerrillas, governors, counties and other officials and generals in the three places of Jin Xuanda, they couldn't manage so much, and they sent people to transport money and grain to Ningwuguan to buy the head.

Anyway, the imperial court asked about the crimes of guerrilla warfare among the governors, general soldiers and generals, they were magistrates, and they had no military power in their hands, as long as they held the city, they would not be questioned.

After the head is bought, they can fabricate the military exploits they have won by commanding the defenders out of the city to pursue the minority slaves.

Although these military exploits are small, they are particularly important in the case of the defeat of Xuanda.

As a result, Ning Wuguan became lively.

Qin Chuan is still sitting in Ningwu Pass, presiding over the major event of selling heads.

At first, Qin Chuan personally received all those who came to buy heads, and accepted the other party's money and grain, but later, he found that these people were all bought by hundreds of heads, and even a few heads, and there was not a single large transaction, and soon he lost patience and threw these things to his subordinates.

Moreover, Qin Chuan also found a problem: the heads of those Jiannu generals had already been snatched up, but the generals were captured and none of them were sold.

Just like selling fish, the dead fish pulled out of the freezer are snatched up, and none of the live seafood can be sold...... This is very abnormal.

Qin Chuan knew that this was because those officials were afraid that after the captives confessed to the military department, they would not match their good news, so no one dared to buy the prisoners.

He began to struggle with a question: should these unsold captives all be cut off and then sold, or should they be co-opted and sent to Beijing City to Zhu Youzhen's parade street?

The reason why it cannot be sold is because the living can speak, and if you cut off their heads, they will not be able to speak, and they will inevitably be snatched up.

According to Li Dingliang's report, some of those Jiannu captives were willing to surrender, including Wanyan Yechen.

Qin Chuan didn't want Jiannu to surrender generals, this was a matter of position, in his opinion, Jiannu should be killed, and after accepting them, these generals were not easy to manage, and it might affect the unity of Emperor Guan's army.

But accepting surrender will have an advantage: when you fight Jiannu in the future, the chance of the other side surrendering will be greatly increased.

If you don't accept the general, but cut off the head of the general, there will be a big disadvantage: if you build slaves against the enemy in the future, the other party will inevitably resist hard, and even fight to the death.

Because the other party knew that Qin Chuan's guy would not accept the surrender of the general, and he would be beheaded if he surrendered, it was better to fight hard, and he would bite a piece of meat when he died.

Qin Chuan didn't know how to choose for a while, and fell into a dilemma.

Before he could come up with a reason, he ushered in a piece of news that made him happy: Cao Bianjiao came to Ningwuguan.
