Before leaving Tongzhou, Yuan Chonghuan gave each leading general a military order to go out of the city and sweep for a full day before returning to the city to rest.

But Ji Qingwen had been out of the city for less than half a day, and the news came that he was going back to the city.

This made Yuan Chonghuan extremely unhappy when he heard it - although Ji Qingwen had the right to perform the secret and directly submitted, and he worshiped under Sun Chengzong's door with him, he would come back after only a few hours of going out, obviously because he was afraid of the enemy and avoided the battle, such a thing that damaged morale, it would not work without punishment......

However, Ji Qingwen's identity is here, obviously he can't be cut with a knife, it seems that he can only hit twenty boards, so that he can have a long memory.

Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan didn't have to work hard, he had already made up his mind, and he was ready to be a black-faced boss.

And when Yuan Chonghuan heard the battle report coming from front of him: "Ji Qingwen's department defeated the 500 elite cavalry of the Manchurian Zheng Red Banner, killed and wounded 128 people, captured 36 people, and wounded the Great Belle Daishan, and the 500 regiments did not kill a single person", this Ji Liao Governor who said nothing was even more annoyed-

Da Belle Daishan is also one of the best generals among the Jurchens, and the Eight Banners cavalry is even better at riding and archery, and is brave; No matter how elite Ji Qingwen's 500 regiments are, they are just some foot soldiers, how can they achieve such a crushing record?

- Apparently taking a reward!

So Yuan Chonghuan specially ordered people to beat the drum and raise the tent, and summoned the generals of the whole army who did not go out to gather in the big tent of the Chinese army, ready to teach this Ji Qingwen in public.

Ji Qingwen had just won the battle, and when he saw the officers standing in the tent, he thought that Yuan Chonghuan had specially summoned him to greet him, so he smiled and greeted everyone, and then bowed his hand to Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting on the top of the hall, and said, "Inspector Yuan, the lower official is back." ”

Yuan Chonghuan saw Ji Qingwen's frivolous appearance, his face turned pale, and he reprimanded: "Lord Ji, my military order is to let you go back to the city to rest after a day's expedition." It's been less than half a day now, why did you come back? ”

Ji Qingwen smiled "hehe": "Xiaguan won the battle and dragged a group of prisoners over, so he couldn't continue the battle, so he thought about coming back to rest and rest, and he didn't violate the military order, right?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan sneered with a "hum": "I heard that Lord Ji opened the banner victoriously and defeated the elite soldiers of the Manchurian Red Banner, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

Ji Qingwen grinned and said, "It turns out that Inspector Yuan also knows?" One of my men is named Meng Hong, and he also wounded the Great Belle Daishan. It's a pity that he was rescued by a guy named Aobai, and I don't know if he is dead or alive now......"

Before Ji Qingwen finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan immediately slammed the startled wood with a "bang", and angrily reprimanded: "Lord Ji, this is the big tent of the Chinese army in this superintendent to control the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, not the place where you talk about it. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it is also a good strategy to temporarily retreat when the enemy is strong. But risking merit for rewards and blowing conch nonsense would be a violation of military law! Please pay attention to it. ”

Ji Qingwen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Inspector Yuan, where did you start talking about this?" This official has indeed returned victoriously from a battle! ”

Not only Yuan Chonghuan, but even the generals under Yuan Chonghuan may not believe Ji Qingwen's words.

Just because Ji Qingwen used his special status to often ask for mercy in front of Yuan Chonghuan for these generals, sometimes those who violated the big military law were changed to small punishments, and some who violated small military regulations were simply exempted from punishment.

Therefore, most of these officers standing in the hall had a good impression of Ji Qingwen, and a few of them who were a little bolder had begun to persuade in a low voice:

"Lord Ji, you just admit your mistake and make amends, just say that it was the first time you went into battle, and you came back after being frightened by the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners."

"Like, who hasn't had a first time? When I went back to battle, I didn't kill an opponent, but even pulled and urine in the crotch of my pants. Lord Ji can bring the whole army back, I don't know how much better it is than me! ”

"Not really! Lord Ji admitted his mistake, and he couldn't beat the twenty military sticks of Inspector Yuan. Don't worry, my lord, those boys who beat the military stick still owe dozens of taels of silver to the general, and I will exempt them from owing money, and keep Lord Ji's ass intact, and you can walk and fuck a bitch when you get off the ground. ”

…………

Ji Qingwen listened to these miscellaneous words, and then he reacted, and immediately arched his hand: "Inspector Yuan, you and I are both students of Old Inspector Sun Chengzong. You don't know the rules of his old man's house yet? If I do this kind of thing, I don't need military law, even his old man's family law is enough for me. ”

Yuan Chonghuan heard Ji Qingwen say so confidently, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and asked with a calm face: "Lord Ji, do you have real evidence?" ”

Ji Qingwen patted his chest and replied, "Of course there is." I was in a hurry to report the merit and walked a little faster. Chen Wenzhao is holding the captives, and he is probably outside Tongzhou City by now......"

Yuan Chonghuan raised his hand and interrupted Ji Qingwen's words: "Okay, I'll order a general to pick up Chen Wenzhao." If what you say is true, the Inspector will personally celebrate your success. If it's false...... Hum! This Overseer immediately takes out the sword of Shang Fang and slashes you here, so as to set the record straight! ”

Ji Qingwen thought to himself: What's so great about Shang Fang's sword? I still have the Emperor's Sword of Heaven in my hand!

So Ji Qingwen also made a rich man's anger, and said with a stiff neck: "Then ask Inspector Yuan to order the next person to hold a banquet!" I just stood here, waiting for the Overseer to toast. ”

"Be careful that what this Inspector gives you is not a toast, but a punishment wine, a ecstasy wine, and a severed head wine!" After saying these murderous words, Yuan Chonghuan casually pointed to a trustworthy general under his command, and led a thousand elite soldiers under his command out of the city to meet Chen Wenzhao.

The general hurriedly ran out, but after a cup of tea, he ran back again, panting and reporting: "Yuan ...... Inspector Yuan, ...... Outside...... ...... outside"

Yuan Chonghuan was already angry, and when he heard him report so intermittently and incoherently, he suddenly became angry and slapped him in shock: "You speak well, if you say it like this again, be careful that I will punish you for the crime of neglecting military intelligence!" ”

The general swallowed his saliva, looked at the face of his buttocks, stabilized his emotions, and said: "Inspector Yuan, General Chen under Lord Ji outside, dozens of Manchurian Tartars and hundreds of horses are waiting outside the city, I don't know if the Inspector wants to let them into the city?" ”

"What!" Yuan Chonghuan stood up from his seat in shock, and asked confirmatively, "Tell me clearly, how many tartars have you bet?" How many horses did you lead? ”

"Back to the superintendent, there are thirty or forty people in the Manchurian Tartars, and there will be no less than a hundred horses. I took one look at the gate and came back to find my life, but I didn't have time to count them. The general replied.

Yuan Chonghuan listened to it sincerely, and didn't have time to ask more, so he walked out of the city with a step, Ji Qingwen also followed when he saw it, and the rest of the generals in the big tent of the Chinese army also followed behind all the way out of Tongzhou City.

However, he saw that the 500 elite regimental training soldiers brought out by Ji Qingwen outside the city were lined up outside the city one by one, although many of them were slightly or seriously injured, but they were all in good spirits and full of smiles, not like they had suffered a defeat or retreated from the battle before returning to Tongzhou City.

Looking at the leather armor they wore and the money rat tail pigtails on the back of their heads, they knew that they were not the Mongols or Han people who were temporarily entangled as cannon fodder, but the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were eight hundred, like a fake, and undeceived child!

Counting the number, there were thirty-six people.

Beside these captives were nearly a hundred heads piled up like a hill—and these heads, though hideous-looking, all had slender eyes, collapsing cheekbones, and ugly braids—all of them were Jurchens!

You must know that the Jurchens, especially the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, are good at riding and shooting, with a hard bow in their hands and a good horse under their crotch, they have never come and gone without a trace, except for the hard battle of attacking and defending the city, how have you ever seen so many dead and wounded, captured Eight Banners elite soldiers?

Moreover, what caused such a loss to the elite of the Eight Banners was not the main force of the Ming army, but the foot soldiers of about 500 people!

Now, in the face of such evidence that is harder than pig iron, Yuan Chonghuan finally accepted the fact that Ji Qingwen had won a big victory, but he was still unwilling to admit his mistake, but asked: "Lord Ji, how did you achieve such a record?" ”
