In the Forbidden City of the capital, in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, a faint wisp of cigarette smoke floated outward from the mouth of the copper incense burner, which made the eunuchs and palace maids standing in the Warm Pavilion a little intoxicated.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the new notebook sent by Wu Liangfu, a popular man in front of him, with a smile on his face.

Looking at Chongzhen who was smiling, the eunuchs and palace maids present were all quietly relieved. These days, the war in Liaodong is stalemate, and there are thieves and slaves in the hinterland, attacking cities and conquering places, Henan, Shandong Jifu and other places, almost at the touch of a button, and the rogues and Jiannu are like entering a no-man's land.

These days, Emperor Chongzhen has sent out many nameless fires, and a few days ago, he killed a eunuch with a cane for a trivial matter. This time, the palace maids and eunuchs beside him were all trembling. At this time, peeking at the appearance of the emperor's dragon face and great joy, while stretching in his heart, he was also secretly speculating, could it be that there was some good news ahead?

Chongzhen suddenly patted the bookcase and stood up: "Okay! Who said that Jingying is unbearable? The soldiers of the Beijing camp who fought this time first followed Ning Yuanbo to pacify the Wenxiang Sect and bandits, and now they have defeated the Jiannu Abatai Department in Linqingzhou, beheading more than 320 slaves and thieves. ”

Wang Dehua and Wang Chengen, the two great eunuchs who rushed to hear the news, kowtowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said goodbye, and their eyes swept over the inscription of the great victory of the soldiers of the Beijing camp in Qingzhou on the bookcase.

It probably wrote that Lai Tianzi Hongfu, Ning Yuanbo commanded properly, and the soldiers of the 3,000 battalions and Shenji battalions of the Beijing division went south to suppress the thieves with their lives, and defeated the slaves in Linqingzhou in one fell swoop. More than 300 beheaded, beheaded the pseudo-Niu Lu Zhangjing and seized his armor and banners. It was also confessed by the captive. The son of Abatei, the commander of Jiannu, was also killed in the rebellion. The morale of our army was greatly boosted, and the soldiers chased the north after the dead, and the Jiannu army was defeated. The soldiers of our 3,000 battalion did not dare to slack off, and are now pursuing with all their might, so as to plough the court and sweep the cave to repay the king's kindness. There will be a detailed report later, and there will be words such as the beheading seizures that have not yet been counted and need to be investigated in detail after the destruction of the enemy.

The two great eunuchs exchanged glances with each other, both doubting the authenticity of the exploits played in the inscription. Emperor Chongzhen didn't know, but the situation in Jingying couldn't hide from these two people. I think it was Ning Yuanbo who saw that the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp was really unbearable. But he wanted to add some brilliance to the emperor's face, so he either gave away the merits of the people of the headquarters, or made the people of the Beijing camp fight, but he used the people of the headquarters to help him make meritorious contributions.

In a word. They didn't quite believe that the victory was fought by the soldiers of the Jingying camp themselves.

But the emperor was in such high spirits. How could the two of them jump out at this time to defeat the emperor's prosperity? I saw Chongzhen excitedly walking around a few times in the warm pavilion. The self-talk in his mouth was quite boastful to Wang Dehua and the others. What is this time Ning Yuanbo really lived up to his intentions, and tempered the soldiers of the Beijing camp well, not only can he fight against the bandits, but now he can also face the battle of Jiannu Abatai's troops and win it, which shows that the soldiers of the Beijing camp can still be cultivated.

Returning to his bookcase, Chongzhen stabilized his mind and pondered for a while, "Two big companions, you arrange for someone to go down to check the meritorious service of the soldiers in the Beijing camp this time, and those who should be rewarded with silver and wealth will be rewarded, and those who should be promoted to official positions will be promoted, and I want to set an example for the people of the world, as long as I contribute wholeheartedly to my work, I will never be stingy with official positions, titles, silver and property!" ”

"Emperor, just now the housekeeper in Concubine Tian's palace came to Qianqing Palace to ask for instructions, saying that the Nanzhong lychee rewarded by the emperor, Concubine Tian didn't dare to enjoy it alone, so she specially invited the queen and Concubine Yuan and others to enjoy it together, and the queen ordered someone to ask the emperor, if the emperor is not busy here, can you ......?"

"Of course I'm free! Share that rare thing with the queen and others. At this time, Chongzhen was very interested, and without waiting for the little eunuch to finish speaking, he ordered people to drive to Concubine Tian's palace one after another.

Only two princes were left to handle these sonatas for him.

"Princess, can those monkey cubs in Jingying defeat Abatai? We don't believe anything! ”

"We don't believe it either!"

Not only did the two princes not believe it, but even Abatai himself, who was stationed in Linqingzhou thousands of miles away, did not believe that this was true.

Linqing is quite rich because of the canal banknote.

This is the hometown of the Ximen officials, and Zhang Haogu, the protagonist of the famous stand-up comedy "Three Levels in a Row", walked out from here. Similarly, this land is also the birthplace of Shandong Kuaishu. Another celebrity here at the end of the Ming Dynasty was Zuo Liangyu, who was dealing with Zhang Xianzhong in the Huguang area at this time.

Regarding the prosperity and wealth of this land, Li Dongyang, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, once gave seven unique praises: "The broken bank is shocked to return to this place, and the sound of the waves resounded day and night with spring thunder." Thousands of fireworks in the city gathered, and thousands of sails on the river. "Thousands of miles of people are divided on both sides of the strait, and high-rise buildings are in the clouds. The official ships and boats passed by one after another, and the drums and gongs were heard everywhere. ”

Located in the northern suburbs of the city, the relics pagoda in the Xuwei canal set in Sanli, and the lighthouse of Tongzhou, the Liuhe Pagoda of Hangzhou, and the Wenfeng Pagoda of Zhenjiang are called the four famous towers of the canal.

However, these places of beauty are now full of camps under the banner of the Eight Banners of Jiannu.

The Daning Temple in the city is now the place where Rao Yu Bel Abatai stays.

Linqing was rich, and after breaking through Linqing, all the children in the city returned to Abatai's department. The Daning Temple, the Mosque, the Manning Temple and other temples in the city, the public buildings such as the official office and the banknote customs and the Confucian Temple have all been turned into barracks and storage of belongings where the plundered woman Ding Zhuang is imprisoned.

The harvest obtained from the attack on Linqing was as high as millions of taels of silver alone. In addition, hundreds of boats loaded with grain and rice were seized from the canal.

This time suddenly made Abatai's subordinates thunderous and morale boosted.

From the moment they entered the customs, they plundered everywhere, shaved all the hair of the captured people indiscriminately, and then intimidated them, so that these captives were terrified, and no one wanted to become the head of the military merit under the official saber. So, they had to walk with the brigade and walk for a few days, and the old captives became the new slaves.

Abbatean's team snowballed more and more.

In the team, in addition to the captured people, there are still many Ming army stragglers, brave mountain thieves, grass thieves, horse thieves, and swordsmen. These people are even more milky mothers.

In front of the Garan Hall of Daning Temple, dozens of head shavers who accompanied the army sat on chairs. In front of the Ding Zhuang who were caught from the streets and alleys of the city, they were escorted by the bannermen, knelt in front of the shavers, and shaved off their hair with a bright razor.

Blood and broken hair were mixed together, and the open space in front of the Garan Temple was filthy.

Beyond the temple dedicated to the Apologetic Garan is the Mahavira Hall.

In front of the hall were dozens of kneeling people, sparing the Baya soldiers and cronies of Beyler Abatai, each standing behind this group of people with leather whips in their hands. Let the sweat run down his forehead. But he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

At this time, the commander of the southward raids, their master, Rao Yu Bel Abatai, was roaring at the defeated and retreating bannermen: "Fart! Defeated is defeated, less excuses for Lao Tzu? Besides, find me a decent one if you make excuses. Defeated by Kyoying? It's a shame that you guys are saying it! ”

was stripped of his clothes and armor and tied up to resemble a rice dumpling. Covered in whip marks. The banner man who was kneeling on the ground cried like a tearful man and said, "Master, even if the slave is blinded by lard, he will not dare to deceive his master." The one who defeated the minions. It is indeed the 3,000 battalion and the Shenji battalion among the officers and soldiers of the Ming State. It was precisely because it was discovered that it was Jingying, so the Guerjia Niulu Master rashly launched an attack without preparation. The master of Guerjia said: This enemy army has come from afar, and the men and horses are tired. It is appropriate to surprise the troops and attack him, so that he will not return, and he will not dare to face our army again. The emperor smelts steel, makes guns, and consumes millions of dollars every year, it is for today, if he retreats without a fight, how can he repay the country to his master? We are slaves, and we have made contributions here, and we don't have to worry about success or failure for the time being. What's more, these Ming soldiers in front of him are not Li Shouhan's elite, and they are just Beijing camp soldiers from the banner formation, if they can't make meritorious contributions, they will be ashamed of everyone. ”

"Alas!" Abatai sighed heavily, and said in his heart Guerjia Niu Lu Zhangjing, you bastard, how many fucking times have I told you, you can only harass the enemy with guerrillas, and you can't engage in battles without authorization, why don't you listen! However, Abatai still has some doubts in his heart, even if Guerjia, the guy with more muscles than brains, disobeys the military order and fights without authorization, but the opponent is Jingying after all, he has a real Manchurian Niulu in his hands, usually such a Niulu can break the Ming border army, which has always been known for its elite, how can it be defeated by those embroidered pillows in Jingying? Or even almost all of them?!

So he snorted coldly and said: "Even if Guarjiazhangjing disobeys the order to fight, the opponent is only Jingying, how can you wait for only dozens of people to flee back, it must be that you are afraid to flee first, so that Guarjiazhangjing is defeated and killed!" Wait, don't you deceive Ben Baylor's law enforcement knife?! ”

The words of Abatai's mouth were also incomprehensible to these dozens of remnants of the defeated generals, but the meaning of killing their heads was very clear. Dozens of people shouted at each other and kowtowed like chickens pecking at broken rice.

"Master, Lord Guarjia Zhangjing has always been brave and good at fighting, this defeat, isn't it the elite of the Southern Barbarians mixed in the Beijing camp?"

Like a ghost, Wang Ke didn't know when he quietly appeared beside Abatai, and silently gave Guerga and Abatai a step down. Although he did not have a deep friendship with Guerjia, he also learned from the mouths of those bannermen in the camp that the Guerjia clan was one of the several nobles who followed the old slave to raise troops and rebelled, and among the children, there were few people in high positions in the court.

"Have you ever heard what Mr. Wang said? Among the Beijing camp team, is there a brigade of Nanban elites? ”

Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, how did Abatai not know that the newly acquired slave in front of him was excusing himself, and at the same time, he was also excusing Guarjia Zhangjing who died in battle? He whispered to one of the leaders with a tiger face.

The strong man was a mallet, shaking his head like a rattle, and said: "Returning to Yu Baylor, although Lord Guerjia disobeyed the order of the first battle, but there was no light enemy wave battle, he sent scouts and cavalry, repeatedly reconnoitred, and confirmed that the enemy in front of him only had no southern barbarians in the Beijing camp, and then he attacked decisively. At that time, according to their previous experience, the minions first sent cavalry to attack the front of the Beijing camp, bending bows, shooting arrows, throwing knives and other disturbances, but the Beijing camp was really chaotic for a while, and the generals seemed to be very angry, waving the leather whip of the whole team, and it took a long time to restore the formation. Seeing that the time had come, the master led his troops to dismount and fight on foot and went straight to the Beijing camp. Jingying was indeed even more panicked, but they didn't retreat. Instead, a strange formation was adopted. The first platoon squats, the second half squats, the third squads, and then waits for our troops to approach. Although we were still some distance away, we could see clearly that these soldiers were obviously shaking their hands, so we did not hesitate to charge, ready to break the enemy in one fell swoop. But just when we were less than twenty paces away from the enemy, we suddenly heard a sharp whistle. Woooooooo ”

This is not the end of the story. And he opened his mouth and wept bitterly.

The irascible Abatai angrily pulled this strong man from the ground, and shouted angrily: "Fuck me, what's wrong? ”

I don't know if it was because of the pain from the wounds on his body, or because he was frightened by the angry Abatai. I choked with a whimper in my mouth for a long time. Cai Xuan said: "The slave was leading people in the back row to suppress the Nanban with the warriors in front of the scattered shots with the bow and the bow. I could only see the backs of our warriors, and suddenly there was a neat sound of gunfire in front, and then the warriors in the front row fell like mowed wheat. The minion's eyes suddenly widened. But the smoke and dust were billowing in front, and there was no one to be seen at all, and after the smoke cleared, the firecrackers of the Beijing camp rushed over with bayonets in a mess, and the cavalry on both wings also outflanked us. And Guerjia's master, because he rushed in the first row, had already died under the platoon. ”

At this time, the green tendons on Abatai's face jumped up, and seeing that Abatai's face was not good, he paused for a moment. Seeing that this guy who was bleeding from the wounds on his face did not speak, Abatai said with a cold face: "Go on, you guys are finished?" ”

The strong but also hard-hearted, said: "No, the minions fought desperately, and also killed a lot of soldiers in the Beijing camp, but there were many of them, we were outnumbered, and we were outnumbered, killing wave after wave, shouting in our mouths, and the attack was also extremely ruthless." So in the end, I can only desperately break through. It's easy to tear open a hole and rush out to kill, but I don't want to, just a few dozen people rushed out, and the cavalry on both wings rushed up and stabbed the hole again. As a result, only the minions escaped, and the others died...... Woooooo ”

At this time, Abatai had already calmed down, something was wrong, and he couldn't believe that the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp could reach such a fierce level. However, he suddenly shuddered, if the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp was like this, if he rashly fought against Li Shouhan's elite, wouldn't he be dead or alive? No, it seems that this method of defense has to be studied again.

Ordered someone to untie this strong rope and send it to the back to hand it over to the plundered Lang Zhong Haosheng for treatment, since it has been figured out that this generation is not cowardly and flees before fighting, but fights to get rid of it, that is a person who has no fault. Babatei also had to say a few words of soothing kindness, and reward the slave woman with silver and cloth.

The next thing was much simpler, and Abatai carefully questioned the rest of the soldiers and domestic slaves who had escaped to learn more about the battle of the day.

Although these people were in different positions at the time, their status and status were surprised, and their perspectives were different, and the battle situation they saw in their eyes was also different, there was one thing they all shared.

That is, the salvo of the Beijing camp firecrackers, and the 3,000 battalion horses marching like a wall, almost from the distribution of the allocation of Shiku to the bannermen and domestic slaves, all of them were silent. Everyone said unanimously that if we hadn't been fired in a volley of guns with firecrackers, and then trampled by the cavalry like a wall, we would definitely not have been defeated!

A small number of bannermen who have fought hand-to-hand with the soldiers of the Beijing camp are even more incessantly scolded by the bayonets of the Shenji Battalion, completely fighting more and fighting less, and bullying the widows with shamelessness! You have just stabbed one here, and before you have recovered your weapon, three or five people next to you have quietly laid down a guy on your vital part, and the sharp bayonet is stabbing at your choking, chest, and ribs. Countless warriors were calculated by those despicable Nikans in this way, and hated the battlefield.

(Shenji Battalion soldiers: This kind of play of taking advantage, playing black, and smashing black bricks is the most suitable for us!) ）

An encounter that took place in the territory of Linqing, in terms of its scale, the results were not large. However, it was this encounter that involved less than 10,000 troops in total that caused great shock, joy or confusion and fear to the commanders of both warring sides.

"First of all, I concentrated hundreds of firearms, and endured until the advance of our army rushed to the front of twenty or thirty paces before firing and shooting, during this period, let you lure it with a false gun, and attack it with a bow and arrow, a knife and an axe, and you will be stunned like a clay puppet."

With dozens of silver bills in his hand, he set up the formation of the Beijing camp on the incense table in front of the statue of Shakyamuni, and then put out the formation that Guerjia Niulu had adopted at that time, Abatai couldn't help but gasp. It can't be said that Guerjia's tactics were not used properly that day, in fact, he made an empirical mistake, thinking that these Ming people in front of him belonged to the tofu scum of tofu dregs.

But he forgot that if the tofu residue has a chemical reaction after fermentation, no matter who you eat, it will kill you! However, who is it that makes the Jingying, which used to fight against the bandits on the verge of collapse, so capable of fighting?

"Master, according to what the slave has seen, I'm afraid this is the Southern Barbarian Demon Law!"

Wang Ke, who has been standing beside Abatai, with a lupine scarf fairy style and bone demeanor, is indeed first-class in his ability to observe words and feelings, and he is worthy of being one of the greatest gods of this era. (There is also the greatest god stick of the water channel.) ）

"How so?"

"The minions also fought with the Southern Barbarian Army, and watched the murderous spirit in their military formations, but they were silent, and the birds did not dare to fall, so the minions concluded that there must be something strange here. Later, after detailed deduction and observation, it was found that there was no officer shouting decree when the Nanban was fighting, and it was purely the sound of horns and drums. That's right. It is recorded in the classics of the slave family that there are people in the Southern Barbarians who are good at puppetry, who can control corpses, and those who have high mana can control ten thousand corpses. Master, please think about it carefully, since my Qing soldiers fought with the Southern Barbarian Army, has there ever been a time when the Southern Barbarians have invested more than 10,000 troops? Moreover, the Nanban only opened fire when our army entered its formation twenty or thirty paces into its formation, and at most three volleys were fired and rushed with bayonets. And when rushing to kill, when arraying, the military formation is as neat as a knife cutting, isn't this a puppet demon method to control the corpse? Therefore, according to the old legend, ten thousand corpses are neat and one, and the living should not be approached. Only the blood of the black dog, the woman's menstrual blood, and the dung bucket can be broken. The minions have ordered people to collect black dogs, women's riding strips, dung buckets and other things near Linqing, hoping to break the demon magic of the Southern Barbarians in the coming day! ”

If the two brothers Dolgon and Duoduo were there, they would have sneered at Wang Ke's lofty arguments and put them on the shelf, but the Abatai in front of him was a typical brave and unscrupulous person. (Of course, this is also to see who you compare with, compared with Huang Taiji, Dolgon and others, that's the case.) Hearing Wang Ke's words, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

Although the north-south traffic barrier makes it inconvenient to exchange information. However, in order to avoid becoming the target of the Guerjia clan, Abatai immediately ordered someone to draft a transcript of the beginning and end of the battle, and prepared to explain it to Huang Taiji.

Afterwards, when he returned to Shenyang, he explained the matter to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji issued an order to bury Guerjia Niu Lu Zhangjing, who died in Linqing, and to be loyal and strong. He gave the crown prince the Taibao, gave the first-class worship of Rabul Hafan and Tuosha Lahafan, and posthumously presented the Batu Luyong. Shuoweng Koro Baturu, Shuoweng Koro means Haidongqing in Manchu, that is, this guy is brave and unscrupulous.

But the Guerjia clan is grateful, this muscular guy can be regarded as a mournful death.

However, how to fight the next battle is a difficult problem in front of Abatai.

The surrounding Ming army has already surrounded like hungry wolves, if one is not careful, he will spare Baylor, but it will become someone else's military exploits! (To be continued......)
