If it is said that in the past, the current situation of the Ming army against the strong enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had little spare strength, but now with the arrival of the holy decree, the morale of the army has been boosted, and the three commanders have seen hope.

Especially since they knew that behind Dolgon's army there were elite battalions of brave guards chasing after them. Although the number of captured troops increased, the number of people and materials they carried also increased. On the side of the Ming army, there are more brave guard battalions who dare to fight, so the next battles can still be summed up.

After a military discussion, the generals retreated, and the result of the discussion was to wait for the Yongwei battalion to come to converge, and the news of the capture had to be further investigated.

Then, the three feudal officials who commanded the army turned to the back tent, ready to ask the resting angel about the news of the Beijing Division. After all, for civil officials, things in the officialdom still have to be cared about. For example, Xue Guoguan was promoted to the first assistant, but what about Yang Gebu?

But who knows, when the rest of the Qian Yuan Wailang saw that the three of them had finished discussing the military situation, he suddenly became serious, and took out a holy decree and said to them: "The emperor still has a secret decree for the three of them, please ask Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the military department and the commander of the world, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, to receive the order!" ”

When the three of them heard it, they couldn't help but be stunned, they didn't expect that there was a secret purpose. In this regard, the first reaction of the three of them, especially Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, was to guess that it was the previous threat to attack the city. I couldn't help but be a little worried in my heart, and hurriedly accepted the order, ready to listen to the emperor's secret decree, what kind of attitude is it?

Sure enough, this secret decree was specially issued by Emperor Chongzhen to attack the city and be threatened by the Tartars with the people.

“…… When I heard this, my heart ached. As soon as the sword is moved, my people are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, which is really painful and sad! The world is alive, suffering for a long time, I am worried, and I can't ......sleep at night."

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts, seeing what the emperor meant, fortunately they chose to withdraw from the army, otherwise, the death of the plundered people would be put on their heads by someone with a heart, and with the emperor's mind, they might not be able to figure out that their future would be completely ruined. But before they had time to rejoice a little more, they heard that the will had suddenly taken a turn.

“…… Therefore, we must have the heart of a bodhisattva, act in an angry vajra, suppress all causes of turmoil, and do our best to restore peace to the people of the world. The Jianyu is cruel, the people suffer, if they are coerced, everything will be threatened, how to fight the Jianyu in the future? There is no need to worry, if you can extinguish it with thunder, it will never harm the world again, just do it, don't worry, everything is blocked by me. If I don't have this responsibility, I will really be ashamed of the people in the world and the soldiers who are desperate in front of me! Qing and the others are all my ministers, and I can trust the choices of the Qing and others, and I have no other ......worries about the king's affairs."

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting both had in their minds the scene of the emperor personally going out to Beijing to inspect the Qin army that day. At this time, they realized that in fact, they could already feel the emperor's responsibility for the events of the day. If not, would any other emperor dare to leave Beijing at such a time? It is estimated that most emperors are like thieves guarding against foreign armies.

At this moment, every sentence of the secret decree was clearly imprinted in their minds, and they felt that the emperor was teaching earnestly in front of them. The monarch trusts himself so much, but how does he treat the monarch? For a moment, both of them couldn't help but feel ashamed of their previous scruples!

“…… In the previous dynasty, there was Lingyan Pavilion, and I also had Lingtian Pavilion of Zhongxing. I hope that you and my monarchs and ministers can be like the previous dynasty, and the name will be passed on to future generations. Chin this! Qian Yuanwailang read this secret decree in one breath. Although it was not aimed at him, at this time, he could also feel a blood in his heart. What a blessing to have such an emperor!

And the three people who received the order did not expect that the emperor was still ready to follow the example of the Tang Dynasty and list the portraits of meritorious heroes, although it was not the founding of the country, but it was Zhongxing, which was also of great significance! It is really a blessing to have such an opportunity!

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had scruples before, and the reason was actually that they were worried about their reputation. It can be said that officials either seek wealth or fame, and they always have their interests. Compared with other Ming courtiers, these people are more focused on seeking fame. And now, Emperor Chongzhen has given them a very rare opportunity.

If the previous holy decree was a very big reward for those martial artists, making them suddenly become high-spirited, then this secret decree undoubtedly had the same effect on these three feudal officials.

"Thanksgiving, long live long live, long live!" The three feudal officials, when they replied to these words, their tones all revealed the resoluteness in their hearts.

The image of Emperor Chongzhen, in their hearts, is taller than ever, making people look up!

Subsequently, the three feudal officials no longer had any psychological baggage, and devoted themselves to the war in front of them.

At the same time, the Dolgon Department has also merged with the Dudu and Yuetuo Divisions. This matter, because it takes time for the news to be transmitted, has not been informed by the commander of the Ming army under Jinju Castle for the time being.

At this time, Du Du and Yue Tuo were outside the city to welcome Dolgon's arrival, after the salute, Dolgon saw that it was okay, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Qin reinforcements have suddenly arrived, and our army has lost more than 5,000 troops, which makes this king very worried. But at the moment, it seems that it is fine, what about the loss of population and materials? ”

"Back to the General!" When Du Du heard this, he immediately said, "The population and materials are all within the normal consumption, but when the Ming army attacked the city, more than 4,000 people were killed by the general. ”

Hearing this, Dolgon nodded, and said with a little curiosity: "I heard that you used the people of the Ming Kingdom as a threat, but as a result, the Qin soldiers really retreated?" ”

"Yes." Du Du proudly explained in detail, "Originally, I just wanted to kill the blood sacrifice of those Qing warriors who died for me by the people of the Ming Kingdom, and disgust those Ming soldiers by the way. Unexpectedly, Chen Weiquan, the Han dog who surrendered, suggested to me that the leader of the army this time was to attack the civil officials of the Ming Kingdom, and that Hong Chengchou cherished his reputation, so he could use this to threaten them, maybe they would retreat. I didn't expect me to give it a try, and they really retreated, haha......"

Hearing this, several Manchu leaders all laughed in unison.

Haoge, who had just arrived, happened to hear Du Du's explanation, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "So, in the future, we can use this trick against the Ming army, and this war will be much easier, haha!" ”

"Don't forget, only the other party is leading the army, and this move will succeed nine times out of ten!" Yue Tuo listened to it on the side, and reminded with a smile.

When they heard this, they laughed again.

After a while, after laughing, Dolgon commented with a smile: "This is also the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom who did not take responsibility, so that his courtiers have this concern!" If I change the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, all the courtiers below dare to fight, then the war will not be easy to fight! ”

"Hehe, that's, my father Emperor is wise, that's comparable to the dog emperor of the Ming Kingdom!" When Hauge heard this, he spoke proudly.

When Dolgon heard this, he glanced at him with slanted eyes, and said secretly in his heart: It's a pity that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and there will be stupid pigs like you.

Retracting his thoughts, after Dolgon laughed, his face turned straight, and he said to Du Du and the others: "Let's go, go to the city to rest, you can talk about the situation of the Qin army, and the cavalry army was transferred by a trick, and the infantry army was completely annihilated, this matter must be carefully considered." ”

Hearing this, Yue Tuogang's face was still smiling, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Since entering the customs, it has been smooth sailing, everyone is fine, and they have made countless achievements, but they have suffered such a big loss, and they don't know how to explain to the emperor when they turn around!

Thinking of this, he suddenly found that the expression on Hauge's face was a little strange, as if he was gloating?

Although he was a little uncertain, Yue Tuo was still very uncomfortable in his heart. Now even such a reckless rough man as Hauge laughs at himself, and I don't know what other people will think of it when I go back, this time it's really a shame!

I was a little depressed in my heart, and after the group entered the city and sat down, I began to discuss the matter.

First of all, Dolgon talked about his trip to Jinan. In addition to the old and weak abandoned on the road, a total of about 80,000 young and strong people were plundered, and the material wealth was much more than imagined. Saying this, Dolgon smiled and said, "It seems that we haven't paid attention to it before, and the richest people in the Ming Kingdom are not others, but those clan vassal kings. Only the wealth of this feudal palace is worth an ordinary county town. If you enter the customs later, you must attack the castle with the vassal king, and the harvest will be the greatest! ”

In the original history, after the Manchu army entered the customs again, they really rushed to the vassal king.

It was in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen that Huang Taiji sent Abatai to lead the army into the customs, and Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu, committed suicide by being captured, Zhu Hongzhi, the king of Leling County, Zhu Hongfu, the king of Yangxin County, Zhu Yiyuan, the king of Dongyuan County, the king of Anqiu County, the king of Ziyang County, and other kings and about 1,000 people in charge of the government were captured and beheaded. As for the accumulated family wealth, it was undoubtedly cheaper than the Manchu Qing.

Hearing his words, several Manchu leaders who did not go to Jinan were very surprised and excited at the same time.

Then, Dolgon looked at Du Du and Yue Tuo, and said to them: "The war on your side and the affairs related to the Qin army will be explained in detail to this king. The combat power of this Qin army, we must understand it clearly. ”

In this regard, Du Du and Yue Tuo did not dare to hide it, so he told the previous battle in detail from beginning to end. Several of them are veterans who are used to fighting, and they also know what to focus on, so they are very detailed.

By the time they had finished speaking, Dorgon had a comprehensive understanding of the Qin army. He had to admit in his heart that in this way, this Qin army was indeed capable of fighting, which reminded him of the bloody battle of the Hunhe River back then......

He was thinking about it, but after seeing Yue Tuo hesitate for a moment, he spoke again: "Uncle, the reason for this defeat is that the commander of the Ming army expected my eagerness to rescue Anping Baylor. It was better to create a blocking posture to attract our cavalry to reinforce first, but it was caused by Lu Xiangsheng's exhaustion of troops from the beginning. I have actual field combat experience with this Qin army, and I should know its strength best. ”

"Well, you say!" When Dolgon heard this, he nodded, and asked Yueto to tell him how he felt.

The other Manchu leaders also looked at Yue Tuo and waited for him to speak.

"If you only talk about the skills, will, and strict orders of the Qin army, it should be similar to my Qing army. Otherwise, they would not have set up a maze of blocking troops with a mere infantry army, leading us to lead the cavalry to attack it, but they held out until nearly evening, with many casualties, before they made way for a way. Yue Tuo said slowly while reminiscing, "However, as far as the battle is concerned, the Qin army should be short of food and grass, the soldiers are hungry many times, and it is easy to be weak in a long battle. In that battle of blocking, if the Ming army dared to grit its teeth and stand up again, the consequence was likely to be a complete collapse. ”

"This is one of them!" Yue Tuo continued, "Second, the Qin army's ordnance and protective gear are all rotten, and even the generals and officers of the army do not have iron armor. When it is really close to our Qing army, this weakness is even more obvious. Also, the quality of the arquebuses of the Qin army is also average, and some of the firearms either fail to fire or are blown up. This is one of the reasons why our army can get close so quickly. ”

After Yue Tuo finished speaking, Du Du also proved to him that in the previous defensive battle, the reason why the early stage was unfavorable was because the Ming cavalry behaved like a madman, which was completely different from the previous Ming army, so that the other party would succeed. If you really want to talk about combat power, it's not that exaggerated.

Dolgon listened as he corrected his impression of the Ming army.

After Du Du finished speaking, he and Yue Tuo glanced at each other, and finally, it was Yue Tuo who opened his mouth and continued: "There is another thing, that is, after the war, according to the report of Tanma, this Qin army has withdrawn to Jinzhou City to rest. The morale of the soldiers is not high, and they are no longer as brave as they were when they first appeared. ”

The Ming army would send a night to detect the movements of the Manchu army, and similarly, the Manchu scouts would also come to inquire about the movements of the Ming army. Therefore, the recent situation of the Ming army, the Manchu army is also well informed.

As soon as Yue Tuo said this, he suddenly remembered, and said to Dolgon: "By the way, on the Jin Shang side, someone was sent to inform the Qin soldiers that they had rushed to King Qin, but it was a little late, and when they came, the war was already over. However, as far as Qin Bing's current situation is concerned, the Jin Shang side has given an opinion, which should be in line with the actual situation. ”

"Oh?" When Dolgon heard this, he was immediately a little curious, and hurriedly asked, "Which Jin merchant is here?" What did he say? ”

"It's Wang Dengku!" This time it was Du Du who replied, "He said that why the Ming army was so fierce and fearless of death before should be related to the emperor's visit to this army." But now, they have spent a lot of money and won such a big battle, which is actually not a good thing. The Ming court has no money, so it can't give a reward at all, so for this big victory, the court is estimated to say that it will erase the credit of many people, which is also a last resort, and there is really no money. In this way, it will definitely hit the morale of this Ming army. And this is also the reason why the morale of the Ming army is not high. ”

Dolgon listened, nodded slightly, if you want to talk about the understanding of the Ming court, naturally these Jin merchants are not familiar with it.
