384 The Ming Dynasty's Eight Hundred Miles Expedited
Needless to say, Lu Xiangsheng had already run away with people.
When Huang Taiji heard the news, he became more and more sure that if no one reported the news, the difference between Pyongyang and Guanning was so far away, how did they cooperate with each other? If the Ming army wants to pass the message through the territory of the Qing Dynasty, this is impossible, it must have done it itself!
No, it's not his own people, it's a traitor, eating things inside and outside, or the Jinyi Wei secret agent did a good deed.
Thinking about these things, the hatred in Huang Taiji's heart! With his eyes flashing, he sent someone again and secretly went to Jinzhou.
After finishing these things, he still had to lead the army to Haizhou to take a trip to appease the military and people's hearts of the Qing Dynasty. But at the same time, he also remembered Shengjing's side, Dolgon and Duoduo had gone to Shengjing, and he didn't know what to do?
When the leader left Zhenjiang Fort, Huang Taiji couldn't help but think, would the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom still watch jokes in Jinzhou at this time? Do you want to lead the army over and see if he's still there?
If he is here, he will desperately consume all the grain and grass materials plundered from North Korea, gather all the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, and must besiege Jinzhou to death!
Obviously, Huang Taiji thought too much.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already led the Yongwei Battalion and the Panshi Battalion back to Beijing, and when he was about to arrive in Beijing, the hussar battalion caught up. As a result, how many people left Beijing originally, but now there are still about how many people have returned to Beijing. It's as if you just went out on an outing and then came back, not to the treacherous Liaodong at all, to fight the most ferocious enemy.
Regarding the situation on the Korean side, Emperor Chongzhen already knew everything through the Grade A eavesdropping seed on Lu Xiangsheng's body. Knowing that his response to Pyongyang was not done in vain, and that the Dongjiang Army led by Lu Xiangsheng was still retained, he was still very happy in his heart.
Now that the war on the Liaodong side has ended this round, on the whole, the harvest is still very large.
pulled out the tower mountain that Jianyu had inserted under Jinzhou's nose, and at the same time wiped out more than 10,000 Jianyu troops, and even threw the head of Jianyu outside the Jianyu city. In this way, if Huang Taiji wants to hide the defeat, it will be impossible.
The battle of Tashan can be said to have a very great impact on the morale of the army and the people of the Ming and Manchu Qing dynasties. Even if the news of Dolgon's capture would be concealed by the Manchus, it would not change much.
As far as the Ming side is concerned, the losses in the fighting on the Pyongyang side are greater.
Lu Xiangsheng took the initiative to attack the camp outside the city at the beginning, and the Ming soldiers suffered the heaviest casualties. Later, he besieged the city with the main force of Jianguo, and withstood the thunderous blow of Jianguo to Pyongyang, and there were also many casualties. As for the Guanning side, all the casualties are less than a fraction of the Pyongyang side, so they should be negligible.
After this battle, the Dongjiang Army obtained preliminary information from eavesdropping on the seeds that more than 1,100 people were killed and more than 2,500 were wounded, and nearly 1,000 of them would not be able to go to the battlefield in the future.
On the North Korean side, the losses are incalculable. After being attacked by the Jianyu army, it burned, killed and looted, and the losses were extremely heavy in terms of population and materials, and there was no accurate number. However, in the battle of Pyongyang, there is a preliminary estimate that the casualties were about 5,000.
On the Jianyu side, the Tashan Jianguo army was completely annihilated, and outside the city of Pyongyang, the Jianguo camp also lost a lot when it was attacked by Lu Xiangsheng's department, and there were also losses in the siege, according to Lu Xiangsheng's estimate, the casualties of the Jianguo over there all added up, at least about 8,000.
In this way, the total of this battle, Mao estimated that about 20,000 Jianyu troops were killed. Also, there is a large area of Jianyu centered on Haizhou, and the following days will be sad, thanks to the hussar camp.
On the way back to Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen constantly summarized the information obtained from eavesdropping on the seeds, and did a rough idea in his heart.
There are other news from the bugging of the seeds, such as Turg, Inordai and others, and the harvest is not big. However, it can be proved that after this battle, the people on Jianyu's side are a little panicked. In Shengjing City, many Jianyu are worried about whether their relatives are okay?
By the way, it was learned from the eavesdropping seed on Dolgon's body that Dolgon was in trouble. He had just returned to Shengjing, and he had just entered the city. There were a lot of Jianyu who came to the door and asked about the situation in Tashan.
Those whose relatives are in Tower Hill have to be given an explanation by Dolgon. Maybe one or two don't have the courage to go to Dolgon's mansion to explain. However, now there are more than 10,000 troops, and there are at least about 7,000 Jianzhou Jurchens who have opened from Shengjing. As soon as the relatives of so many people gathered, they were not afraid of Dorgon, the general of the defeated army. Thanks to these people, they don't dare to storm the Dolgon mansion, otherwise, there will be a good show.
It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen's return journey is not lonely at all, and it feels really good to watch the information fed back by eavesdropping seeds every day, and to watch the Jianyu army being transferred around by himself.
Based on this, he also realized a truth. The so-called soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and he thinks that after this sentence, there is another sentence, that is, before the grain and grass go first, you must know yourself and know the other.
Message, it's so important. Whoever dares to say that this golden finger is not strong, I will spray him in the face! Emperor Chongzhen thought happily in his heart.
Just like that, walking and walking, one carelessly, he returned to Jingshi again.
On the Jingshi side, I heard that Emperor Chongzhen, who had personally conquered Liaodong, had led the army back, and suddenly, the whole city was in a sensation.
There had been good news before, saying that the emperor had personally conquered the expedition, and in just one day, more than 10,000 prisoners had been destroyed. What a victory! It is estimated that the first class of the car will have to line up for several miles. It is said that the slave chief Ai Xinjue Luo Duoergon was also captured alive, and this person doesn't know what he looks like, does the emperor not mind, and beats this person to death in the hoe and rape street, which is definitely the end of the meat mud!
Thinking like this, not only did the queen and the crown prince lead the civil and military officials out of the Beijing Division, but even the people of the Beijing Division followed suit, wanting to see for the first time, is the wise and martial emperor more handsome now? How many miles will the heads of those Jianyu row......
Back in Jingshi, Emperor Chongzhen was not in the middle, but wearing armor and riding a horse to the front.
Seeing the Huang Luo umbrella symbolizing the emperor from a distance, the queen and the prince of the prison country knelt down first, and the civil and military officials and the people of Beijing also knelt down, shouting in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty's triumph, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
This momentum can be heard clearly even by the Ming soldiers at the end of the army.
Under this hearing, the soldiers who followed the emperor's personal expedition last time began to brag to those soldiers around him who did not go with the expedition. said that the emperor was wise and martial, every time he returned from the car, it was such a big movement, or which time the voice was louder and there were more people.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was in front, and when he saw countless heads kneeling down, he calmly turned over and dismounted, strode to the front, smiled and stretched out his hand to help Queen Zhou, and said to the others: "Let's all be flat!" ”
When the prince and the others saw this, they got up one after another, and everyone's faces were full of smiles. When he looked at Emperor Chongzhen, he was full of admiration. This is not because of the identity of the emperor, but the achievements of Emperor Chongzhen.
Before Empress Zhou could say anything, she heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to smile and say to him: "I am a common thing to return from victory, don't make it so grand in the future, do whatever you have to do, understand?" ”
"......" Queen Zhou was stunned when she heard this.
"......" Xue Guoguan, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty behind her, and the other cabinet assistants, as well as the six departments and nine secretaries, who could hear the emperor's voice nearby, were also stunned.
“……”
It can almost be said that everyone who heard the emperor speak was stunned.
What did the emperor just say? Does it mean that it is common for the royal driver to go on a personal expedition and return victoriously, and then let his people do whatever they should do, and don't do so much? Did you hear that right?
This...... This...... Is the emperor too confident?
Of course, there are also courtiers who think that the emperor's personal expedition this time is just a day's work, and he strategizes and cleverly destroys more than 10,000 people and horses in Tashan.
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen saw that they were naturally or unnaturally surprised, and he didn't care, at the moment they didn't believe that it was okay, anyway, when they came back from winning more battles, they would know that they were not bragging.
Putting this matter aside, Emperor Chongzhen simply asked a few words about the affairs of the court, and then drove back to the palace.
In this relaxed atmosphere, the prince was not very old, and he was a little curious in his heart, looking left and right, and he couldn't see what he wanted to see, so he couldn't help but ask Emperor Chongzhen: "Father, what about the head of Jianyu?" How long is it that Erchen is still betting with his classmates! ”
When the others heard this, they were also a little curious, because they also did not see that there was not a single cart of heads in the long army. Therefore, when the prince asked, they immediately pricked up their ears and listened intently.
Emperor Chongzhen was slightly stunned when he was asked, and when he came back to his senses, he smiled and said, "There are so many dead heads, what are you bringing back for?" I let the soldiers of the hussar battalion be lost to Liaodong Jianjiao. ”
"......" When the prince heard this, he was a little surprised, and couldn't help but immediately replied: "Of course it's boasting of military merits, that's the head of Jianyu!" ”
Even if he is young, he has heard too much about how powerful Jianyu is, how cruel he is, and so on. After all, after he was born, Jianlu invaded the land of Gyeonggi three times, and it was difficult to hear about it.
When Queen Zhou heard this, she also nodded slightly. That is to eliminate tens of thousands of prisoners, boasting of military exploits, and it is very beneficial to the prestige of the emperor. Even the prince can know this at such a young age. However, why didn't the emperor understand this, and didn't take back the head, but threw it back to Jianyu?
When the other courtiers were also listening, they saw that Emperor Chongzhen showed a trace of disdain, but he still said to the prince with a smile: "What military merits to boast of, what is there to boast of, this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning." Waiting for his day, I will recover the whole of Liaodong. At that time, I worshiped the temple and boasted about it once! ”
"......" When Empress Zhou and the other courtiers heard it, they were all speechless, it turned out that the emperor had such an idea, so he threw the 10,000 or so heads back to Jianyu, and didn't bring the Jingshi?
The crown prince reacted differently from them, and a lot of little stars suddenly appeared in his eyes, and after opening his mouth slightly in surprise, he said adoringly: "Father is really amazing!" What about that Ai Xinjue Luo Dolgon? Isn't he qualified to sacrifice to the Taimiao? ”
"Hehe, yes." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he stepped forward and touched his head, and said with a smile, "It's just a pseudo-prince of Jianyu, and there are more of them over there." This kind of person is not qualified to sacrifice the Taimiao, and when he waits, I will arrest the puppet emperor, and it will not be too late to sacrifice the Taimiao. As for that Dolgon, I put him back and let him bring back my message. ”
"Father, what is the message?" When the prince heard this, he hurriedly gossiped curiously.
Empress Zhou was surprised by Emperor Chongzhen's words, and came back to her senses, but she didn't expect the prince to ask such a thing, and she felt a little inappropriate, so she thought about remedying it, saying that the prince was still young, and she didn't want to care about the emperor's affairs.
However, it was obvious that Emperor Chongzhen was not angry, but said with a smile: "Let him go back and tell the puppet emperor that unless he surrenders unconditionally, I will make him regret it." ”
At this point, it's almost over. Emperor Chongzhen did not stay any longer, preparing to drive back to the palace.
Who knows, at this time, suddenly a horse galloped in the distance. The rumbling of horses' hooves is a bit noticeable.
Everyone turned their heads to look and found that it was an eight-hundred-mile urgent messenger, and they were all taken aback. It turned out to be an eight-hundred-mile rush, it shouldn't be something major somewhere, right?
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was also a little surprised. Isn't it another major natural disaster?
He had decreed before that if a major disaster occurred in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and it could not be solved locally alone, it must be reported to the capital as soon as possible. Depending on the level, the message can be delivered in an expedited manner of up to 800 miles.
In this way, outside the capital city, everyone's eyes temporarily shifted from the emperor's side, watching the messenger gallop over, and they all guessed in their hearts what was going on.
The emperor and empress and other most important people of the Ming Dynasty were all here, so it was naturally impossible for the messenger to resist the front.
Immediately, the captain of the Jinyi guard greeted him from a distance, intercepted the messenger to verify his identity and ask about the situation.
After checking that it was correct, he immediately came to Emperor Chongzhen's side with a messenger.
When I got closer, I could tell that the messenger was sweating profusely and looking very tired. At a glance, you can see that you are desperately rushing.
What kind of natural disaster will it be? Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think in his heart, it's best not to be a plague.
At this time, what he is most afraid of is the plague, even if he travels through the land, there is basically no good way to do this!
