Ask for collection, ask for support.

……

Abatai stared blankly at the south, as if he had seen his third son through the void for hundreds of miles. He just received an urgent report from the rear hair, and the rear army is finished.

The entire army behind the palace was wiped out from top to bottom.

Taking advantage of the late reaction of the Qing soldiers, the Ming army quickly dispatched the horse army, successively defeated the two transport teams of the Qing soldiers in the rear, rescued a large number of men and women, and also obtained a lot of materials, money and grain as trophies.

Abatai had already asked Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Ye Keshu to re-lead the cavalry to the south to protect the baggage.

But his heart is really uncomfortable.

His son died, a large number of strong men and women were rescued by the Ming army, and a large amount of money, food and materials were lost. This is a very sad thing, but none of these things can be compared with the annihilation of the four or five thousand Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, which is far from being the greatest or less.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty had more Beizi, more Beile's sons, more Ding men and strong women, money and food, as long as they were sharp, no matter how much they lost, they could get it back.

Therefore, the most important thing in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the army.

How many armies were there in the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty? In this battle, four or five thousand were lost. Counting the casualties of the fighting along the way, Abatai can already think of his fate after returning to Guanwai.

Huang Taiji's anger may not kill him, but his 'future' is completely over.

Don't blame Abatai for being cold-blooded.

Just died of his son, and he didn't feel sad, but he turned his head and thought about his own gains and losses. This is actually quite normal.

It is true that Bolo is outstanding, but Abatai has five sons.

The second son Bo and Zhen are not mediocre, and the fourth son, Yue Le, is young, but he likes it even more.

Even the pain of losing a child is not the first time he has experienced it. The eldest son, Gushan Xianyu, Beizi Shangjian, died earlier.

So he has to be cold-blooded, because only when the brain is calm can he make the best choice for himself in an unfavorable situation.

Bolo is dead, and he is old, but his son is still young and strong.

denied the idea of revenge born in his heart, this time it had been four or five months before and after entering the fortress, dozens of battles of all sizes, and no matter how powerful the Qing soldiers were, they were dulled. Not to mention the impact of the collapse of the rearguard troops on the army, the destruction of four or five thousand Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, which was dominated by the Manchu Eight Banners, was not only an unbearable loss for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also a heavy wound to morale......

And there are still so many men, women and baggage in their army, to look at these, they must leave an army behind, plus the threat of the Ming army on the northern road - how many troops can he take out to deal with Hong Chengchou, whose morale is high after the victory in the south?

So, don't take revenge, don't be rash. Honestly returning to the customs with the team and loot is the most correct choice!

But such a choice also means that Abatai has to abandon his sense of victory and defeat, and abandon his father-son relationship, which is a heavier blow to him than losing the war.

When he figured everything out in his mind, when he had actually made a choice in his heart, Abatai's whole body suddenly seemed to age by ten years. The majestic body no longer has the invincible spirit that swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger at the beginning, but is more like a wolf king who has stepped into the absence of the old breeze.

Abatai's mental trauma was too great.

But what is the comparison between his trauma and the grief of his family and the bloody cases caused by the Qing army's entry into the fortress?

"I really don't know when I'll be able to smash Huanglong?!"

Zheng Zhilong has Boluo's head in front of him, after all, he is a Gushan Beizi, and his surname is Aixin Jueluo. Quan can be regarded as the second generation of an enemy chieftain.

It is not modest to say that this is already the highest-ranking person killed (the head captured) in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Therefore, this concocted head, as well as the heads of Fu Cha, Hu Libu and others, as well as their banners and armor, all arrived in Yanjing with the meritorious excerpts.

"As long as the marshal has this determination, with the vast land of my Central Plains and the victory of the population, how can he not have that day of killing all the captives?" Jiang Zhe said behind his back.

He couldn't understand Zheng Zhilong now.

You say that he harbors evil intentions, he is indeed not a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Not only did they look down on the Ming Dynasty and today's Emperor Chongzhen, but few of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked down on them, and they also looked down on the Confucians and gentry who had lasted for more than a thousand years.

Look at some of the strategies he has formulated, clear the acres of land, and the officials and gentry will pay for the grain as one errand and one person, and this is clearly going to attack the gentry.

It's no wonder that he has no respect for Confucius and Meng, and even more so for the Confucian and Meng families...... What's that.

But such a rebellious character, but he has pity for the lowest-level Qiantou people, but he doesn't just say it in his mouth, he really has pity. Jiang Zhe has also been by Zheng Zhilong's side for a while, and he can still see this clearly.

How can there be such a person in the world?

Don't love the gentry and love the Qianshou?

Looking at Zheng Zhilong's previous performance, whether it was bribery or bribery of officials, or his intention to wash the mud on his feet, anyone who really watched it would feel that this person still had respect for the Ming Dynasty and was full of desire for the fame of the gentry.

Who knew it was all an illusion!?

There is no need to look at the history books, such a person, a person who deceives everyone in the world, is an absolute hero.

However, is this Zheng Xiaoxiong really no longer a hero who regards human life as a mustard, but a hero who loves the people like a son?

Thinking that Zheng Zhilong gave away all the money and materials he had seized, he asked for a lot of food to help those men and women who were saved. Jiang Zhezhen didn't think it was a show.

But it's a really difficult road.

"That's right. How many people are there in Tartar? A battle of grinding can also grind them into powder. Ben Shuai just wanted to deal with them as soon as possible, so as not to let innocent people die tragically under their swords again. ”

Zheng Zhilong seemed to see the scene of guns firing in unison again, which was really refreshing.

Four or five thousand Tartars were killed in the first battle, which was an absolute blow to the Tartars.

Jiang Zhe didn't bother Zheng Zhilong to have a good aftertaste, he still had a lot to do.

The war is over, the battlefield is cleaned, and the spoils of war are counted. Then the next is the merit of each department, Zheng Jun does not need to break with others, this battle Zheng Zhilong is the first merit, that is, there must be his share in the strategizing work, and there is naturally a share of Hong Chengchou, as well as a share of Zhou Yanru who is far away in Baoding.

But after the first battle, the casualties of the Zheng army were not small.

From the small Yuan battalion to the standing team, to the musketeers, all the injuries Zheng Zhilong was treated equally. That regardless of the dead or wounded, it is a super high pension.

But what about the rewards of the officers and men in the army?

You can't just wave your hand and count the heads of a Tartar in each hand, right?

The whole army is divided into third-class merits, first-class merits are counted by a Tartar head, and second-class merit is a half-Tartar head count, and these are to be recorded in the archives and can be regarded as military merits. The third-class merit is purely a silver reward.

Zheng Zhilong didn't bother with this, and with a wave of his hand, he taught the clerks in the army. That is, Jiang Zhe, Shen Nanguang, and Zhou Lianggong.

……

March 17, 16th year of Chongzhen.

Hong Chengchou's messenger finally arrived in Baoding after a long circle.

"What, Hong Hengjiu teamed up with Zheng Zhilong to defeat Jiannu in Zhangqiu Town, beheading four thousand seven hundred and forty-three levels? Eighty-five prisoners? Nearly 1,000 prisoners were killed? ”

In the garden where Zhou Yanru stayed, the fifty-year-old Shoufu looked at a messenger in front of him who came to report the victory, and jumped up from his seat in surprise.
