Raid plus a new chapter to make up for what is owed

When the eyes are dry, you can see the bones, and the heaven and earth will be ruthless.

"The Manchurian Tartars that blow like a god, but Erer. It's so hot, it's going down. The wind swept through the mountain, the military flag hunted, Guo Ruke overlooked the tragic battlefield for a long time, threw down this sentence lightly, and rode down the mountain. The accompanying companion should look carefully, his sideburns and neck are full of sweat.

In the Battle of Yushan, the Ming army concentrated superior forces, fought from north to south, besieged the Qing army in multiple positions, and finally won a complete victory. More than half of the Qing army was killed and wounded, and the Manchu and Han generals such as Ahanikan and Jin Li all died in the battle, and only the commander Shang Kexi led the remaining less than 5,000 soldiers and horses to flee in defeat. On the side of the Ming army, the main losses were in the soldiers and horses of the imperial village, more than 10,000 troops, and nearly 3,000 people, and many generals such as Xue Zhao were wounded.

Guo Ruke is very satisfied with this result. The satisfaction is not only limited to battlefield killing, but also the strategic advantage gained through this war.

The Qing army was under the blue banner of Manchuria, and Ezhen Bahana was shot down by the Ming army and captured alive on the Loess Plain on the east side of Zuoyu Mountain. Guo Ruke looked at Bahana, who was tied up in front of him by removing his armor and armor, and coldly ordered: "Kneel!" ”

"Don't kneel!" In the early years, the Manchurian aristocracy learned more Chinese in order to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and even if he was reduced to a prisoner, Bahana still straightened his body and stood with his head held high.

"Get on your knees!"

Peng Guang and Kong Quanbin on the left and right moved together, and pressed the big-shouldered and round-waisted Bahana down at Guo Ruke's feet.

"Invade my country's land, harm my people, and dare to be arrogant!" Guo Ruke stood up abruptly and glared at Bahana.

Bahana tried his best to hold his head, stared at Guo Ruke with his residual eyes and said: "There is revenge and revenge, and there is revenge." In the past, your Han persecution of my Manchurian people was very poisonous, and now you should pay for it with blood! ”

In the early years, when Manchuria had not yet risen, the officers and soldiers of Liaodong used border trade to enrich themselves, and often ran rampant in the horse market, buying and selling by force. Sometimes, in order to purchase ginseng, Dongzhu and other treasures at a lower price, they even did not hesitate to beat or even kill the Jurchen people. Even the garrisoned Ming army in Liaodong, in order to balance the Jurchen tribes, deliberately picked quarrels and provoked troubles from time to time, and took the opportunity to slaughter the Jurchen tribes, loot goods and burn the walled cities. In addition, the Jurchen tribe was close to the Han land, and the customs were similar to those of the Han people, and their wives and daughters were rarely revealed, "but the minor officials and commoners of the Han people could go to the Zhushen place, but they could go to the houses of the ministers of Baylor, drink and feast together, and treat them with courtesy", and in turn, "Zhushen and the Han people exchanged markets, and regardless of the wives of Han officials, even the wives of commoners, they were not allowed to be seen by Zhushen, and they despised the officials of Zhushen, bullied and beaten, and were not allowed to stand at their gates." At that time, the Jurchen tribes were powerless to resist, but hatred slowly accumulated in their hearts.

Nurhachi's fifth ancestor Dong Shan, maternal great-grandfather Wang Gao, maternal grandfather Atai, grandfather Jue Chang'an, father Takshi, and many more relatives and friends of the clan died directly or indirectly at the hands of the Ming army. Nurhachi, who used the "Seven Hatreds" to raise troops to attack the Ming, was like lighting a fire in a haystack, and immediately inflamed the anger of many Jurchens who were full of resentment and hatred for the Ming Dynasty.

Cause and effect, the cycle is endless. From beginning to end, they are interlocking.

As the general of the defeated army, Bahana spoke wildly, and the soldiers of the Ming army present were all indignant, such as Li Jiyu, a general whose subordinates killed and injured a lot for the Qing army, and they were even more eager to draw their swords against each other.

"That's it, drag it out." Guo Ruke was unusual, his face was angry, and he sat back in his chair.

"Barbarian, don't be rampant, as soon as I arrive at the king's soldiers, you will wait for you to kneel!" Bahana was undaunted, screaming as he was pulled from the ground by the soldiers.

Guo Ruke's eyes were cold, and he only said proudly: "When you arrive at the king, you have to kneel." ”

In late August, following Ye Chen, the Qing army, led by Tan Tai, launched another offensive against the city of Flint Ridge. After two days of fierce fighting, the mountain city was still as dangerous as the sky, and the Qing army did not continue to attack but chose to retreat, because Zhao Dangshi's army had already arrived in Datong Fucheng. Immediately, the Qing army, which had been heavily damaged in the two battles of Flint Ridge City and Zuo Yu Mountain, began to shrink its forces to the town guards.

Thousands of troops and horses outside the city are like a stream, the general officer of Datong Town leads the general of Zhenshuo Yin Jiang Huang in the high slope to look forward to it, when he sees the particularly eye-catching Phnom Penh Daxu from a distance, he is impatient to go downhill and chase the gallop.

"Sinner Jiang Xuan, meet His Royal Highness King Song! I wish the King of Song good health and prosperity! ”

In the dust, Jiang Hao knelt on his knees and worshiped in front of the horse of Zhao Dangshi, the king of Song and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. He knew that the man in front of him was the soul of today's Da Ming.

"General Jiang doesn't have to be polite. Anyway, you have merit, and you have hit the Tartar very hard, and the court greatly appreciates it, and I also admire it! Zhao Dangshi jumped off the horse and helped him up with his own hands, "This time, I want to join hands with General Jiang to restore my Daming Sheji." ”

"Hand in hand, I dare not be ashamed, I just want to be satisfied with the whip in front of the saddle of the Song King!" When Jiang Hao got up, he stole his eyes and swept Zhao Dangshi, only to feel that he had the posture of a dragon and a tiger, although his face was pleasant, but he had his own awesome majesty, and his heart was awe-inspiring, he glanced at it, and he didn't dare to look at it a second time, and even his back was involuntarily oozing sweat.

Zhao Dangshi sensed Jiang Jiu's uneasiness, held his hand and said, "General Jiang, I came this time, and I have good news." ”

"What's the good news?" The more he heard such words, the more nervous Jiang Hao became.

"The imperial court takes General Jiang's loyalty and wants to set an example to inspire the military and the people of the world, so it specially ordered me to carry an edict on this trip, and named General Jiang as the Duke of Datong, which means that General Jiang can serve his life and Yongzhen Frontier!"

When Jiang Hao heard this, his head buzzed, and he immediately cried with joy, and couldn't help but kneel on his knees and plop down on the ground, kowtow three times in a row, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”

Zhao Dangshi immediately stopped him and said in a low voice: "General Jiang kowtows to me. As he spoke, he pointed to the guide.

Jiang Hao suddenly realized, nodded violently and said: "Jiang is a stupid fool, I get carried away for a while, please forgive King Song!" Anyway, ignoring Zhao Dangshi's obstruction, he bowed his head to the south again, and three times in a row.

Zhao Dangshi walked side by side with him, and said as he walked: "The edict is carried by the angels of the army, and it can be sealed on an auspicious day." ”

Jiang Hao's dream is to become the lord of Datong Mansion, and now that he has been recognized by the imperial court, his dream has come true, and he is still in a trance under the great joy, and he can only smile and nod his head in praise.

"But one yard is one yard, if you don't drive the Tartars out of Datong, you Datong Gong will not be able to sit steadily." Although Jiang Hao has not been officially canonized at present, Zhao Dangshi intends to wear a high hat for Jiang Hao in advance.

Jiang Hao was very useful in his heart, but when he heard the word "Tartar", his heart was cold again, and he quickly gathered away his thoughts that were dancing and jumping outside, and said: "What the prince said is extremely true. Then he asked tentatively, "What is the prince's opinion?" ”

Zhao Dangshi said simply: "Tomorrow I will march." ”

"Tomorrow?" Jiang Hao muttered secretly, he originally planned to invite Zhao Dangshi to a banquet in Datong for three days, and pat the new prince's ass, "Why don't you stay for a few more days?" ”

"It's not timely. Helped Datong Gong drive away the Tartars and stabilized the situation, everything is easy to say. ”

Jiang Hao wished that Zhao Dangshi would send troops to drive away the Qing army for him as soon as possible, so he nodded his head. But he was quick-witted, and he said with great insight: "I don't know what Jiang can serve here?" ”

Zhao Dangshi immediately answered and praised: "Datong Gong is worthy of his reputation for the country and the people. Then he said, "You have done your duty to resist the Tartars for the past few months, and you will leave the drudgery of sweeping away the remnant of iniquity to me." What needs to be bothered by Datong Gong here is just a little money, food, and some soldiers and horses. ”

The meaning of this is euphemism, but the meaning is obvious. This time, Zhao Dangshi didn't believe in Jiang Jiu's ability, and he wanted to preside over it himself. But Jiang Hao can't just take the benefits and not make a difference, tens of thousands of Ming troops and tens of thousands of mouths have been handed over to Jiang Hao to deal with, in addition, Jiang Huang has to send troops to help more or less. Therefore, Zhao Dangshi understated that the burden on Jiang Xuan's shoulders was very heavy.

However, the temptation of the words "Datong Gong" and "Yongzhen Frontier" is too strong. Jiang Hao asked himself, if Zhao Dangshi didn't say anything about the reward first, he might have to play Tai Chi and bargain. But Zhao Dangshi was smart, he first said about the reward, he was so happy that he couldn't hide what he said about his performance, and he fell behind in the early stage, and then he wanted to maneuver, he inevitably had a disadvantage of strong words, and the difficulty increased greatly. What's more, Zhao Dangshi only verbally revealed the news of the canonization, and there was no angel to read the edict to grant the sigil, everything was empty, in case the two sides were unhappy, Zhao Dangshi held the edict card in his hand, which was also very disadvantageous to himself.

Jiang Hao's brain was not stupid, he was stunned for a moment by Zhao Dangshi's combination punch, and quickly eased up and calculated shrewdly. He weighed it a little, only to feel that no matter the strength or righteousness, he could not compete with Zhao Dangshi, rather than a moth to the fire and then get into a commotion, to protect small profits and abandon long-term interests, it is better to take a long-term view. After all, the weight of the title of "Datong Gong" is extremely heavy, gritting his teeth and trying his best to survive this period of time, what awaits him in the future is that Yangguan Avenue.

A fast horse galloped past him, Jiang Hao deliberately pretended to be surprised and dodged, turned his head and patted the dust on his body, and smiled helplessly at Zhao Dangshi, to cover up the embarrassment that he had just thought about not answering.

"Jiang has been in Datong for a long time, and he has the friendship of the landlord, the prince can rest assured, no matter how many people you have and how many mouths you have, with Jiang in charge, you can't be hungry!"

Zhao Dangshi smiled, stroked his palms and said, "I know that Brother Jiang is righteous!" ”

Jiang Hao laughed a few times and asked carefully, "So...... I don't know if the prince has millions of soldiers, and how many people here do chores? ”

Zhao Dangshi waved his hand and said, "Not much, six thousand." ”

This number is stuck in Jiang Jiu's eyes, because the more than 10,000 battalions brought by the Horse Army and Wang Jinchao to build and garrison the city of Huoshiling have a total of 15,000 people, plus these 6,000, it can be said that the Datong Mansion with a total of 30,000 soldiers can take out all the soldiers that can be taken out. It can be seen that Zhao Dangshi must have already figured out the reality of the soldiers and horses of Datong Mansion, and this time he came prepared, just to firmly grasp himself.

Although Jiang Hao often has his own bottom line, he has his own bottom line, that is, once he identifies a direction, he will not repeat it in the short term. Even if it is repeated, it has to be considered a lot of times and the direction is recognized again before it can be implemented. At the moment, he has decided to follow Zhao Dangshi and follow the Ming Dynasty to continue, since Zhao Dangshi's request did not exceed his bottom line, he naturally agreed.

One day later, the two armies of Guo Ruke and Han Gon on the front line successively sent envoys to invite Zhao Dangshi to march.
