So, all kinds of suggestions are available.

Some people, with red eyes, shouted to their leaders: "Patriarch, blood debt and blood repayment, we will fight into the pass and avenge our people!" ”

"Crazy? You don't think you're dying fast enough! Someone immediately retorted, "The Ming Kingdom is no longer the Ming Kingdom of the past, why do all the clansmen die, don't you have a little bit in your heart?" ”

"That's right, patriarch, don't mess with Mingguo again, look, it's all chased to the clan to take revenge. Will you have to suffer the revenge of the Ming Kingdom again in the future? More people also agreed, they were afraid and did not dare to retaliate against Daming.

This kind of thinking is actually natural, because the grassland people believe that the weak eat the strong, and the strong are kings! The tribes on the steppe also annexed and exterminated each other, but they would kill adult men, leave women and children, and become members of their own tribe.

Soon, this topic was put aside by them: "Patriarch, quickly find a way, otherwise, even we will starve to death!" ”

"That's right, patriarch, looking at the weather, it seems that it is about to snow, and if we don't think about it, even we will die!" Others followed suit.

Faced with a desperate situation, different tribes finally made different choices.

Some tribes decided to return to Huacheng, but they still had to protect Jianyu's thighs so that they could survive this winter; Some tribes didn't dare to get together with Jianlu anymore, but became horse thieves on the grassland, attacking and robbing other tribes' cattle, sheep and food. In the past, they might have had scruples, either because other tribes were powerful, or because they were afraid of reprisals, but now, they don't care.

In this situation, the situation on the grassland, which was temporarily relatively calm because the various departments submitted to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no longer existed, and the turmoil on the grassland began at the end of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.

When several cavalry armies of the Chahar and Urat tribes hurried back to Huacheng with hope, the snow had already begun to fall. But they didn't see their living master, only two tombs and the thousands of neatly lined up corpses of their master.

This scene shook them again. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the Qing army was defeated, and after counting the dead corpses, it was almost to the point of annihilation.

"Blood debt and blood repayment, this is my promise!" These ten words, before the Ming army left, had been engraved on the tombstone, and they were red, particularly eye-catching and dazzling, so that these Mongolian tribes who were still lucky and came back to hug Jianlu's thighs were chilling.

Even the powerful Qing army ended up like this, the strength of the Ming Kingdom is beyond doubt, and there is an emperor who will repay him, who wants to provoke the Ming Kingdom again, it is really impatient!

With this in mind, the Mongol tribal army took some of the corpses as their rations and joined in the raiding of the surrounding Mongol tribes.

…………

The situation on the grassland, Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, did not know, and he had been worried since the emperor led the army out of the customs.

In the vast grassland, what will happen to the emperor's battle?

The Central Plains Dynasty attacked the enemy on the steppe, even when it was the most powerful, Chengzu's five expeditions to the steppe only defeated the Mongol Tartars. The emperor's expedition this time is at most the same as Chengzu, right? After all, the steppe is the territory of the Tartars, their world.

The combined strength of the Jianlu and the Mongol Tatars was more than 20,000 elite cavalry. And the emperor's department, plus all the cavalry troops in the border towns, is about 20,000 in total, and the strength of the cavalry is about the same as that of the enemy. As for the chariot battalion and the infantry army, when they arrived on the grassland, they could only be used for defense, and they could not attack at all.

Thinking like this, Zheng Chongjian hoped that the emperor would triumph soon, he believed that with the emperor's wisdom and martial arts, it should be fine, and it didn't matter if he couldn't completely annihilate the enemy, don't chase and kill, so as not to fall into the trap.

Wait, wait, wait, the more he waited, the more worried he became, breaking his fingers with his hands every day, why hasn't the emperor triumphed?

On the Jingshi side, a messenger was also sent to urge the emperor to ask if he could return to the Beijing Division for the New Year this year? But the emperor is still crusading against the enemy on the grassland, and it is obviously impossible to rush back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year!

On this day, Zheng Chongjian was dealing with military and political affairs in the mansion, and suddenly, he heard a guard shouting outside: "It's snowing!" ”

As soon as he heard this, he suddenly became a spirit, it snowed? So what about the emperor?

Thinking so, he immediately rushed out to see the situation.

Sure enough, the gloomy sky has already snowflakes, but fortunately, it is not big, sparse and sparse. However, Zheng Chongjian's mood did not improve, based on his experience, he could see that this was just the beginning, maybe the snow would fall bigger and bigger.

Over the years, there has been no snow all winter, or if there is snow, it is very large. It is difficult for people and horses to travel, and even many houses will be crushed by heavy snow.

"Hasn't the emperor triumphed yet?" Zheng Chongjian was worried, and immediately shouted at the guards.

"Back to my lord, there is no news!" His guards, when they answered this, looked equally worried.

The emperor went out to the grassland this time, it can almost be said that he took away all the cavalry troops in the border town, if there was an accident, the Ming border pass would be lit with beacon fire, and without the cavalry, he could only be beaten stubbornly. What's more, if even the emperor has an accident, then there will be a big problem on the Ming side.

Although they all have confidence in the emperor, it suddenly snows, which is not what they expected. The emperor is wise and powerful, but he can't resist God's might!

If you don't make it back to Kannai in time and get stuck on the grassland in the heavy snow, it will be a problem just to eat.

Zheng Chongjian thought about this, and he was even more worried. Because he knew that when Emperor Chongzhen went out of the customs, he didn't take much grain and grass with him. Although it is said that the emperor sent the cavalry army of the border town to sweep the camps of the Urat Department and the Chahar Department, he was able to capture some cattle, horses and sheep to come back to replenish them, and the emperor also had this idea. However, how much material replenishment he could bring to the army, he was also uncertain in his heart.

Zheng Chongjian was worried, and he wanted to send someone to the grassland to check, but he didn't have to collect it all night, and the soldiers who were familiar with the grassland were all taken away by the emperor. If you send an unfamiliar person to the grassland, this person will go less, and he may get lost, and he will not be able to come back.

As a result, Zheng Chongjian was even more worried.

At the beginning, he was not worried that the emperor would lose the battle, but it suddenly snowed from God, and it must have a great impact on the battle situation.

I hope that the emperor is still the emperor, and when he sees that the situation is not good, he will quickly withdraw it. The enemy on the steppe will be defeated again next year. Besides, didn't the emperor use a strategy to make the enemy's food and grass shortage on the grassland before? This heavy snowfall will further exacerbate the tension between the enemy's food and grass, and when the crusade is carried out again next year, the enemy may have starved to death a lot, and the difficulty of the crusade will be much reduced.

That's it, Zheng Chongjian thinks and looks forward to it, and every day passes, the more worried he is about it. Not only him, but the soldiers of the Ming army who stayed behind in Yulin Town were all worried about watching the snowflakes fall. Especially when I saw that the snow was getting thicker and thicker, and the backs of my shoes had not fallen off, I was even more worried.

What if the emperor is trapped on the grassland? What should I do if my friends and family are gone? Although they are only small soldiers, they also have too many worries!

On this day, Zheng Chongjian, according to the custom, immediately put on his clothes to see the thickness of the snow after getting up, and then went to the city worriedly.

But just when he was about to reach the city, suddenly, he heard a Ming soldier shouting at the city: "Look, it seems to be back, the emperor seems to be back......"

Subsequently, more city guards also shouted: "The emperor is back, I see the army, the red one, it must be the army back!" ”

“……”

Hearing these shouts, Zheng Chongjian was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly quickened his pace to the city. Unexpectedly, under the excitement, his feet slipped, and he was supported by the guards around him, otherwise he would definitely fall, which would be too damaging to his official prestige.

But at this time, he didn't care about these things, he didn't remember the lesson, he still walked fast, and hurried to the city, he had to see it with his own eyes to be relieved.

Soon, Zheng Chongjian went to the head of the city, and when he saw the guards on the head of the city, they were all cheering, and the excited and happy look was immediately transmitted to him, and before he could see it, his emotions rose, and then, he hurriedly looked up in the direction of the grassland.

I saw that in the distance, there was indeed a long red dragon, coming straight from the depths of the grassland to the important town of Yulin. Looking at the long queue and the speed of the unhurried new army, Zheng Chongjian suddenly felt a lot more relieved: It seems that it is fine, it is good to be back, it is good to be back! This snow is really not at the right time, and it will be the same when we go on a crusade next year.

When the good news reached the city, officials of all sizes flocked to the city to watch, and when it was closer, Zheng Chongjian led the officials and soldiers in the city to open the city gate and welcome them out of the city.

Before leaving the city, he sternly reminded: "This battle is due to the influence of heavy snow, and it is a blessing to be able to return safely, and the battle situation must not be mentioned, so as not to make the emperor unhappy, this is about to be the New Year, and the most important thing is that everyone is happy together!" ”

He calculated from the time and felt that the war would definitely not end so soon, and it was estimated that he saw heavy snow on the road, and the emperor turned around.

Zheng Chongjian's words, of course, the people below dare not disobey, in fact, who doesn't have eyesight, will definitely not touch the emperor's moldy head!

The army was getting closer and closer, and the emperor did not send a messenger to inform him in advance, so he returned from the normal march.

When they got closer, they saw the imperial driver at the front of the team, and when they saw the emperor's figure, they all let go of the last trace of worry, and the emperor was fine!

Until this time, from the front of the team, there was a Jinyi guard captain, riding a horse and speeding up, came to Zheng Chongjian and them, and announced loudly: "In the battle of Guihua City, the enemy was completely annihilated, and the slave chieftain puppet Qing Prince Zheng Aixinjue Luozier Harang was captured, and the slave chieftain was captured alive and the prince of the Qing Duoluo Wuwei County was captured alive Aixinjue Luo Azig......"

His shout suddenly made Zheng Chongjian and the others stunned. Your Majesty, is this a real triumph? And it really had to be done, and the Jianyu was completely annihilated? Not even the slave chieftain escaped?

Annihilating the enemy on the grassland, this is even more powerful than Cheng Zu!

This means that after this battle, there will be a very long period of peace at the border passes between Qin and Jin!

It's really a bit unimaginable, but the facts are there, listening to the briefing on the battle situation, seeing that the emperor is approaching, suddenly, Zheng Chongjian and the team behind him are all bowing down in the snow to greet him, and the surprise on his face can't be hidden.

Zheng Chongjian's first sentence was to play: "Weichen is really worried in vain, Your Majesty's Heavenly Divine Martial Arts, the Ancient Sun Wu, is not as good as Your Majesty's in case!" ”

He didn't dare to say that the emperor was more powerful than Cheng Zu, although in fact he thought so, so he had to use Sun Wu as a background board.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and calmed them down, and then said to him: "I promised the people of Jindi before that they would no longer suffer from military disasters, and I did it; There is also the revenge of the people in the northwest, and I have also avenged it. Next, let's have a good year together! ”

After finishing speaking, he looked up at everything white, and laughed again: "Ruixue Zhaofeng year, I hope there will be fewer natural disasters next year!" Enter! ”

This is the end of the year, of course Emperor Chongzhen can't rush back to Beijing, and for the first time in his life, he will celebrate the New Year outside.

The emperor's great victory in the grassland was accompanied by the return of the army to Yulin Town, and the good news spread in all directions. All the people, officials, and soldiers who heard about it were extremely surprised.

Then, the emperor issued several holy decrees in succession.

Exempted from five years of taxes in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, the head of Jierharang was also passed on there, and at the same time, it was reported that the bones of the people who were plundered outside the customs by Jianjiao had been collected, and thousands of Jianjiao were sacrificed in blood.

The second holy decree is that there is still a lot of beef and mutton brought from the grassland, and Emperor Chongzhen distributed beef and mutton to the people here in Yan'an Mansion, so that they can eat a meal of meat during the New Year.

Here in Yan'an Mansion, although some people received the New Year's meat distributed by the emperor after the New Year, they were also very excited, which had never happened before!

It can be said that with Emperor Chongzhen's victory in this battle, the total annihilation of the Jianju of Guihua City, and the severe punishment of the Urad Department and the Chahar Department, it can be said that outside the customs of Qin and Jin, there will be no Ming enemies, and the people in these two places can really live and work in peace and contentment, and now there is meat rewarded by the emperor to eat.

This good news one after another has made the people of Qin and Jin have made this year much happier than any previous year!

Seeing all this, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that his efforts were not in vain.

As soon as the year was over, he began to reward meritorious deeds, and Emperor Chongzhen also fulfilled his promise. According to the level of military merit, the border officers were selected to enter the Beijing camp. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also explained to Zheng Chongjian, asking him to look at the fertile land of Hetao to see what Mongolian tribes would come to occupy, and the news should be played in time.

The reason why this place was not included in the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty was that the troops were not enough to ensure safety, and the second was to be a bait to continue to lure Mongolian tribes here.
