Jinzhou, since the destruction of Tashan, is the Daming city at the forefront of the Guanning defense line.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, is now in Jinzhou, coming to the front line in person, waiting for the results of the battle ahead.

He was waiting for news from two places. First, Wu Sangui's troops went to the Liaohe Plain to meet Kong Youde and rescue the plundered Ming people; The second is the war on the emperor's side.

Although he also sent out the night not to collect, since some time ago, the strength of the Jianyu Tanma has been strengthened, and it has advanced to the vicinity of Jinzhou.

Hong Chengchou knew that he was afraid that there would be a big war on the emperor's side. It's just a pity that the troops in his hands are more than enough to defend the city, and the attack is insufficient, so he can't give the emperor a response. Although he also led the troops to fight, he was only a civilian official after all, unlike that Lu Xiangsheng, more like a military general, who could personally go into battle and lead the army into battle. In this way, Lu Xiangsheng's army is more aggressive, and he is biased to the side of the guard.

If possible, Hong Chengchou certainly hopes to accompany him and fight together in Jianguo, so as to lay the most solid foundation for his future career. In this regard, Hong Chengchou is very regretful.

But fortunately, since he became the governor of Jiliao, at least last year's grassland battle was initiated by his own side, and the credit can be regarded as okay, so Lu Xiangsheng did not let him be beautiful alone. Comparatively speaking, among the three people at the beginning, Sun Chuanting should be regarded as the most inactive!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou's heart felt a little better. On my side, it's not like I've been sitting there and not doing anything. At least in the grain fields from Ningyuan to the front line of Shanhaiguan, after pouring his efforts, the harvest is okay. As far as it is concerned, Daming has always had to focus on agriculture, which is fundamental......

He was thinking about it when suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the city.

Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in the arrow tower, knew that there was something urgent when he heard it, so he hurriedly walked to the window to look outside the city.

Sure enough, there was a night who was speeding to Jinzhou.

Seeing this situation, Hong Chengchou's heart tightened, and he was a little worried, don't have an accident?

But soon, he knew that he was worried.

I saw that the night was close to the city, and when he began to slow down and wait for the drawbridge to be lowered, he had already shouted loudly: "It's back, it's back, it's back, Wu Dashuai's department has rescued people......"

As soon as he heard this shout, all of a sudden, enthusiastic cheers rang out on the head of Jinzhou City.

At the beginning, Wu Sangui's department was on standby in Jinzhou, and after receiving the emperor's will to pass on the book, he immediately set off and made a detour to the grassland to save people. At the time, it was a big deal and a sensation. More than 20,000 empty horses were taken away by Wu Dashuai, just to save people. This kind of thing, put it in the past, it was something that I couldn't think of.

The military and civilians of Jinzhou, of course, their hearts are all flesh and blood. The people of the Ming Dynasty who were plundered, if they could be rescued, they would of course be happy. When the emperor did not hesitate to attract the attention of Jianyu with his body, and used such a big deal to save people, this matter of saving people was raised to a very high height. Many people, even if they don't usually pay attention to things outside their own home, have begun to care about this matter, which can be regarded as a kind of public opinion!

However, since Wu Dashuai left, Jinzhou has been locked down, and they can only discuss it in Jinzhou City. To tell the truth, it is very difficult to go as far as the Liaohe Plain and rescue tens of thousands of people. Many people are worried, afraid of accidents on the road, afraid of being chased and killed by Jianyu, and so on.

At this time, I suddenly heard that tens of thousands of people had been rescued, and such a good news made them bored suddenly like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they carnivaled.

Of course, Hong Chengchou was also happy, and immediately sent an order to let the fire be burned in the city to cook, and to give the people of the Ming Dynasty who had gone home after suffering a good meal.

Not long after his order was passed down, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, like thunder in the sky, came faintly from the far distance, slowly getting louder and louder, and even the ground felt faintly shaking.

At the head of the city, Hong Chengchou walked out of the arrow tower, approached the battlements, and looked into the distance.

I saw that at the bend at the foot of the mountain in the distance, there were first Ming soldiers wearing red mandarin duck robes, and at least 100 horsemen appeared on the road. Behind them were all sorts of people on horseback, more and more, more and more......

The cheering defenders at the head of the city slowly quieted down, and in this life, it is estimated that there is only one chance to see this kind of scene!

It is getting closer and closer to Jinzhou, and the people on the head of the city can also see it clearly. They found that although these people were all young people, they were all skinny, and they knew at a glance that they had experienced an unknown amount of suffering.

But at this time, these scrawny people, when they looked up at Jinzhou City, which was fluttering with the banner of the Ming Dynasty and full of officials and soldiers, they were all smiling happily, and many people were smiling at the same time, but also shed tears, no matter how they wiped it, they couldn't wipe it off!

Who would have thought that he would be able to come back in this life, and he would be able to return to the place of Daming!

After many people arrived outside Jinzhou City, they turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and bent down to take a deep breath of the smell of their own soil! In any case, the smell of the earth here is much better than the foul soil of Liaodong.

After confirming that there was no problem, the drawbridge was lowered, and a group of Ming soldiers lined up on both sides to let this team enter the city.

Seeing the people entering the city in front of them, many Ming soldiers would invariably say to them: "Come back!" ”

"It's good to be back!"

"Take a good rest, rest assured, it's okay!"

“……”

In the past, they might have been cold-blooded, and they would have become insensitive, because they were used to seeing life and death parting.

However, now that the emperor has worked hard to save people back, the warmth of the hearts of the people in this can also interfere with people. This is actually similar to the principle of a nest of bears. The compassion and kindness that human beings originally possess in their hearts are all expressed.

In the city, many people in Jinzhou are the same, men, women and children, all go out, looking at these hard-working people on both sides of the street, and comfort them one by one.

In the face of all this, these once desperate Ming people were excited, with tears in their eyes, or tears, in addition to nodding their heads, they still nodded hard. At this time, they are not only moved in their hearts, but also full of hope for the future!

The world should be full of warmth! This is what a prosperous world should be, right? At the head of the city, Hong Chengchou looked at this scene and said with emotion in his heart.

At this time, he had already learned that Wu Sangui, Kong Youde and others did not turn back, but wanted to contain Jianyu, cover these returning people, and plan for the war on the emperor's side. In this regard, he was a little worried, but at this time, he did not show it, but went to meet Kong Youde's family and appease them.

Two days later, Jinzhou City once again ushered in good news.

"Da Shuai is back, Da Shuai is back......"

With the announcement of not closing the night, Jinzhou City became a sensation again.

Hong Chengchou, as the governor of the city, also came to Jinzhou City to watch.

He knew that Wu Sangui was really back, and this time the credit was not small, at least on the emperor's side, he was definitely a valued general.

The sound of hooves is like thunder, and a team of soldiers of the Ming Army appear in the distance outside the city, and the handsome flag of the word "Wu" is displayed in the wind, which is particularly eye-catching.

Seeing that the number of troops had increased a lot, he knew that Wu Sangui's troops had not encountered a strong attack from Jianyu, and they all returned safely. As a result, the people of Jinzhou became excited again. Such a result, they are the most fond of seeing.

The person who saved it came back, and the person who saved it also came back, and nothing happened, this is the best to arrive!

When he arrived in front of Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, who was in the dust, immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "After saving the people of the Liaohe Plain, the last general attacked Shenyang, dug the mausoleum of the rebellious Nurhachi, and besieged Shenyang...... In the end, according to the emperor's will, after the Jianyu messengers broke through the siege continuously, and it was estimated that after arriving in Haizhou, they withdrew their troops and returned. ”

Wu Sangui couldn't defeat Shenyang, so he took Shenyang as the center and harmed a radius of 100 miles, and everything that could be destroyed was destroyed. Zhuangzi, grain fields, ditches, wells, etc., also scattered the ashes of Nurhachi, the culprit, listening to all this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but smile. The emperor arranged for Wu Sangui to do this thing, which is definitely the heaviest blow to Jianyu!

Behind Wu Sangui, it was Kong Youde, when he saw the Ming Dynasty in a scarlet robe again, he remembered Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai who had been good to him before, and he felt sorry for Sun Yuanhua, and he also surrendered to Jianqing, and he was vaguely uneasy in his heart. At this time, he lowered his head and waited for Wu Sangui and Governor Jiliao to finish speaking.

However, Hong Chengchou naturally noticed him a long time ago, and after listening to Wu Sangui's proclamation, he personally walked in front of Kong Youde and asked kindly: "You were ordered to take over the work of building the granary, and you turned around and burned down Kong Youde who built the granary?" ”

He didn't say that you were the general of the Dongjiang Army, nor did he say that he was the obedient king of Jianyu, but he just made the opening remarks about the great achievement made by Kong Youde when he returned to the Ming Dynasty, which made Kong Youde hear it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Kong Youde, the lost general, has seen the governor!" ”

"Hahaha......" Hong Chengchou laughed when he saw this, stretched out his hand to help Kong Youde and said, "The emperor decrees that you must bring your family back safely, which shows that in the emperor's heart, you have more merit than demerit." There is no need to mention the past, if there is really something, it is not too late for you to go back and see the emperor yourself! ”

He actually knew in his heart that Kong Youde had made a great contribution this time, and the emperor would definitely reward him. Therefore, he also has a kind attitude towards these generals under him, and he mainly focuses on wooing. Of course, if it were replaced by Sun Chuanting, it is estimated that they would not speak so kindly, which is also the reason why they have different personalities and good ways of doing things.

"Your family members are also in Jinzhou City, let's go back and have a good reunion in a while!" Hong Chengchou patted Kong Youde's shoulder with a smile, and after Kong Youde stood up, he said again.

Kong Youde listened, but did not answer the topic, but showed concern on his face, and immediately asked Hong Chengchou: "Lord Governor, I don't know if the emperor has won the battle?" ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but be silent, and then shook his head and said: "Jianyu Tanma shielded, there is no news so far!" ”

"Ah, I should have harassed Sheng Jing more if I knew it, I shouldn't have come back so early!" When Kong Youde heard this, he immediately said worriedly, "Jianyu has all the soldiers of the whole country, down to the age of fifteen and up to the age of fifty, all of them have been conscripted and sent to Haizhou for a decisive battle. ”

Hearing this, Wu Sangui was suddenly a little unhappy in his heart.

In fact, it is true that when withdrawing the troops, Kong Youde once said that he could hold on for a few more days, and he would not be far away at night, and he would withdraw again when there was news. However, Wu Sangui did not agree, saying that the will was for him to retreat, so they withdrew.

At this time, as soon as Kong Youde said this, it seemed that he, Wu Sangui, didn't care about the emperor's safety. Or Kong Youde didn't mean this, but when he said so, Wu Sangui could feel it.

Hong Chengchou didn't know that Jianyu was gathering the troops of the whole country to fight a decisive battle with the emperor, so when he heard this, he was immediately taken aback, and immediately frowned and said, "Is this so?" Isn't the strength of the Jianyu army several times that of the army led by the emperor? It's no wonder that Jianyu will step up his exploration of horses and cover up the news......"

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army to Haizhou for reinforcements!" Wu Sangui didn't wait for Hong Chengchou to finish speaking, and immediately said eagerly. Even if he interrupted Hong Chengchou's speech, he had no scruples.

Hong Chengchou didn't care about this, and when he heard Wu Sangui's words, he turned his head to look at the cavalry troops who were still entering the city one after another, his frowning brows did not loosen, and he shook his head and said, "Your cavalry army is already exhausted, and you need to rest before you can fight again!" ”

Wu Sangui's cavalry army, since the departure, has actually not had a good rest. In particular, during the period from the Liaohe Plain to Shenyang, they fought continuously, and then they were hurriedly withdrawn, which was absolutely unclothed and ready to fight at any time, and the spiritual strings were always tightened.

Of course, Wu Sangui knew the situation in the army, but at this time, he glanced at Kong Youde, and then immediately said to Hong Chengchou: "In this way, the last general is willing to select the elite, starting with the expulsion of Jianyu Tanma, otherwise the last general will not be able to sleep well." ”

Hong Chengchou listened, nodded this time and agreed to his request. At the same time, Hong Chengchou himself began to prepare, and once the cavalry had rested, his side also decided to send reinforcements.

He is a civil official, a feudal official, and when he knew that the emperor was in danger, even if there was a will for him to defend the city, he had to save it.

Subsequently, the news quickly spread throughout the city.

The people of Jinzhou and the people who returned safely also immediately became worried when they heard that the emperor was still fighting with an army several times their size.

"The emperor is trying to rescue us, so he has attracted all the troops of Jianyu, the emperor must not have anything to do!"

"Yes, such a good emperor is the emperor today, he will definitely be fine!"

"If you want me to say, what are you afraid of Jianyu doing, there are more people than people, we have more people in the Ming Dynasty, they can be from fifteen to fifty years old, don't we have it in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Jinzhou City has 50,000 troops, the emperor is in trouble, what else to consider, hurry up and save it!"
