Chapter 770: Here He Is
It was almost noon, and the weather that had been scorching in the sky suddenly changed, first a dark cloud drifted from the northeast, and then more and more accumulated to cover the sky and the sun, and the whole sky suddenly darkened.
Li Muxian, who was roasting frogs by the river, looked up at the sky for a while, and muttered: "Inexplicable, it's hard to have a heavy rain" glanced at the little Taoist boy who was playing in the mud under the tree not far away: "Chunfeng came to eat, the master gave you more food."
Xiao Daotong obediently washed his hands, walked to Li Muxian's side, sat down, took a bite of the frog meat, and showed a trace of disgust: "The master is a little mushy, not as delicious as my aunt's roast."
Aunt? Li Muxian frowned, and then woke up: "Song Luoyu? ”
Xiao Daotong nodded vigorously: "Auntie's roast is delicious...... Li Muxian sighed and rolled his eyes: "Girls should have cooked at home, and it's not uncommon to bake well......
"But my aunt just said that she was going to kill the Tartars, and the big official was also going to kill the Tartars, why didn't you go, master?" Xiao Daotong muttered.
Li Muxian snorted coldly: "The master has another important task, you can't see that these tens of thousands of horses don't have a master in charge, then there will be no chaos" Xiaodaotong grinned: "But my aunt said that you can't even beat her, you will only play tricks......" Before the words were finished, Li Muxian burst into a rage: "Fart, the master's martial arts are superb, and he is one of the best in the East Factory, that girl, that girl is ...... You don't play with her less in the future...... You are a Taoist priest, and you should be less close to women......"
"Master, what is a woman?"
"The woman is the girl!" Li Muxian scolded angrily, and Xiao Daotong was not afraid to gnaw on frog meat and eat it with a smile.
At the north end of the woods, Huang Degong lay under the tree and snorted and slept sweetly, a hundred meters away on the bank of the Tonghui River, tens of thousands of horses under his command were all gathered here to rest, last night in the first battle, some people were excited and couldn't sleep, some people were exhausted, as for those wounded soldiers have been sent to the capital by the logistics troops, Shi Kefa and Wang Jiayan are in charge of logistics work in the rear, and they dare not slack off in transporting the food and grass of the wounded soldiers, for fear that something will go wrong and affect the overall situation and disrupt the little eunuch's plan.
After all, now the entire capital, from the Son of Heaven's civil and military officials to the common people, street vendors, are paying attention to every move of the war situation outside the city, where is the Tartar? Did the Ming army fight? How and when?
When all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, from time to time there are fast horses entering and leaving the capital, and then going straight to the palace, and the people on the streets will shout: "Master Jun, what's going on outside?" ”
Naturally, these messengers would not give them any response, and the eunuchs who rode to the free east factory outside the Dong'an Gate of the imperial city took over and hurriedly sent them to the palace.
"Good! Victory in the first battle! Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands excitedly, swept the cabinet ministers and said: "Recently, some people have impeached Chang Yu for his autocratic power, and even pointed out that I am nepotistic and reusable ministers, I want to ask, who is the minister?" Chang Yu is difficult to fight, can he win, I don't reuse, who does he reuse? And who can be reused? If there is such a person in the court, why should I be instructed by you to reuse a minister! ”
When Shoufu Li Banghua heard this, he suddenly felt his head bigger, and secretly scolded who the hell is not long-eyed to impeach Chang Yu, and now the danger of the country depends on the little eunuch to take the blame, you won't pick a time, who is so short-sighted, it won't be Li Yutian, this old boy is very low-key after being transferred from the position of the empty shell governor of Liaodong back to the capital of the capital to serve as the right capital of the Imperial History, but recently he is very good at tossing, I heard that he is eyeing the little eunuch......
Humane good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, but it's not absolute!
Only a few moments after the good news arrived in the palace, the streets and alleys of the entire capital spread that the great eunuch of Dongchang defeated tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry in the camel camp in the east of the city last night, killing countless enemies......
Wait, wasn't it commanded by Huang Degong?
Huang Degong? That Huang Chuangzi...... Impossible, right......
Huang Degong, who was sleeping heavily, didn't know that he had become a hot topic in the capital, and of course he couldn't see the flames of Tongzhou City, and the smoke billowing into the sky.
The main force of the Qing army has been driven south, more than 10,000 cavalry escorted the captured Ming people with straw ropes tied into a string, forcing them to push and pull the looted property and livestock slowly marching southward, the slightest trouble is punching, kicking, whipping, anger, is a knife to kill.
In order to vent his hatred and leave, Dolgon ordered the burning of Tongzhou City, and the chickens and dogs were not left, and for a time the city was on fire, and the smoke rolled into the sky, and the whole sky darkened, but there was not a trace of crying, because the living were taken away, and the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind could not open their mouths to speak.
A few miles southeast of Tongzhou City, on the bank of the North Canal, Dolgon turned his head to look at the smoke billowing in the distance, and sneered cruelly, raising his eyes to see that it was still a sunny day just now, why suddenly there were dark clouds, it was difficult to rain heavily, if so, it would be a bit of a hurry.
"Brother Fourteen, it's going to rain this day" Duoduo muttered beside him: "It seems that it will inevitably be drenched in soup."
Dolgon sighed: "It's refreshing to be so hot and dry, and it can also make you sober up."
Sober up, what does this mean, have you drifted recently...... Duoduo muttered psychologically, glanced at Dolgon, saw that he had a fierce face, and knew that he was not in a good mood today, and he didn't dare to talk too much, but Azig didn't have the eyesight to see: "What are you afraid of in the rain during the day, as long as there is wine, meat and women at night, let's go quickly, and spend the night in Xianghe today."
Dolgon couldn't help but glare at him: "Xianghe is a hundred miles away from here, and you will be late at night even if you are hurrying up, not to mention such a drag and a dream."
That is, Duoduo interjected: "Brother Twelve is thinking about good things, our road is not a rush march, and we have to grab things while walking, how can we go so fast!" ”
cough cough cough, Azig choked: "Then, anyway, just find a big village and town ahead."
"If you are in a hurry, take the first step, and just explore the way!" Although Azig is the same mother as Dolgon, he dislikes this brother very much, and even gets a little bored, as is the case in history, because he is brainless but insatiable, and always relies on his brother to be disrespectful to him and ambitious to be his equal.
Azig was overjoyed when he heard it: "Then I will take the first step and knock down Xianghe City."
Ah, Duoduo was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Dorgon: "Didn't the fourteenth brother say that he would not attack the city but only plunder the village fort?"
Dolgon said lightly: "That kind of small county town can be fought if it can be beaten, and there is no need to be reluctant if it can't be beaten" After all, Xianghe County is also very oily......
Azig gladly led his troops.
As Chang Yu expected, Dolgon finally chose to plunder all the way southeast along the canal to Tianjin, for the simple reason that both sides of the river were rich land, and it was convenient for herding horses to drink water and camp.
Robbing, robbing, reckless robbing, wanton robbery, Dolgon is shouting in his heart, he wants to ravage Daming fiercely, rob Hebei and rob Shandong...... Grab as much as you can, so that you can relieve the hatred in your heart, make up for his losses in the past few months, return to Shenyang so that his backbone will not be broken, and his regent throne can be stable.
In a word, how miserable he made Da Ming, how solid his regent throne is!
It's just that...... Why some restlessness, in previous years, entering the customs was like an outing, touring the mountains and waters, enjoying the flowers, admiring the moon and enjoying the autumn fragrance, there was a group of Ming soldiers as bodyguards around, when they came, they welcomed them, waved goodbye when they went, and the treatment was so grand that they wanted to come every year.
This time, however...... The Ming army was a little too enthusiastic, and when he first entered the door, he beat gongs and drums to greet him, and then he was overwhelmed with all kinds of tea and water during the most of the month, which was really abnormal.
Too close, too welcoming.
In the past, no Ming army dared to approach the range of fifty miles, no matter how many soldiers and horses he had, but now there are two Ming armies twenty miles to the west, and there is an unknown force one hundred miles to the north.
Follow it, but you'd better not be picky, although this king doesn't want to fight, but once the fight starts, there is no turning back, Dolgon thought viciously.
Then before the thought disappeared, he hurried to the horse: "Report to the prince, there is a Ming army ten miles northwest to attack and disturb ......"
Dolgon raised his eyebrows: "How many centaurs?" ”
"Less than a thousand, but ......" The spy hesitated for a moment.
"But what," Dodor shouted angrily.
"Lord Wang, heavy cavalry".
Grass! Dorgon and Dorgon couldn't help but glance at each other, and the little eunuch himself chased after him?
"Brother Fourteen, wait for me to lead the troops to behead him......" Duoduo couldn't help but shout with a killing intent.
