Huang Taiji's words are talking about Yuan Chonghuan's sore spots.

Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Phi Dao, was very capable, and he managed a sesame-sized Phi Island isolated overseas in Liaodong with great success, and became a nail nailed to the death hole in the back of the Manchurians, so that the Great Khan Emperor Taiji never dared to go south with the whole army to attack Ming.

However, Mao Wenlong has an arrogant and obedient personality, and he is not tolerated by Yuan Chonghuan, who has just been restored by Emperor Chongzhen as the governor of Jiliao. Therefore, in order to unify the military power and affairs power of Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan used the power of Shang Fang's sword to "cut first and then play", and killed Mao Wenlong on the spot.

Without Mao Wenlong's command, the Phi Dao soldiers dispersed in a hurry, which not only relieved Huang Taiji's worries, but also many Phi Dao soldiers simply took refuge in the Manchurians, becoming an important supplementary force for them to attack the Ming in the south.

Therefore, overall, Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong did more harm than good.

In this regard, the imperial court has already had a public discussion, but because Chongzhen could not choose a candidate who could replace Yuan Chonghuan's supervisor of Liaodong for a while, this matter was forced.

Despite this, Yuan Chonghuan's sensitivity and suspicion, the matter of killing Mao Wenlong in vain, has always been hanging behind his head all the time, and Emperor Chongzhen can use this matter at any time to kill himself speechless.

Therefore, when Huang Taiji brought up Mao Wenlong's matter again in front of the public, Yuan Chonghuan's heart tightened, and he said angrily: "Tartar, if you want to fight, what are you doing with all this nonsense?" ”

After saying that, Yuan Chonghuan waved his hand and ordered the musketeers and archers standing on the city wall to aim at Huang Taiji, and when he gave an order, he would shoot him into a hornet's nest.

Huang Taiji saw it, but he didn't panic at all, and also ordered the cavalry archer next to him to aim at Yuan Chonghuan with a bow and arrow, as long as he moved his mouth, he would shoot him into a hedgehog.

In this way, countless bows and muskets above and below the city were aimed at each other, forming a terrifying balance, so that the men and horses on both sides did not dare to act rashly.

Ji Qingwen had already issued an order to reload the artillery and muskets under his command for regimental training, and once the two armies began to fight, they would fire at Huang Taiji himself as soon as possible, and he would have a clean and neat beheading operation.

However, things have progressed to such a point that everyone on both sides is jealous, and even Ji Qingwen, who has always been bold in doing things, strictly ordered the soldiers under his command not to act at will.

At this time, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang led more than 1,000 elite cavalry, walked around the city from the quietly opened south gate of Tongzhou, and finally appeared on the right flank of the Three Banners of Manchuria unknowingly.

Zu Dashou saw that Huang Taiji outside the city and Yuan Chonghuan in the city were swords rattling and aiming at each other, but he didn't dare to act recklessly, so he hurriedly restrained the group of Liaodong iron horsemen under his command and waited for the movement of the battle flag on Tongzhou City.

Yuan Chonghuan in the city saw from a distance that Zu Dashou was approaching the opponent's flank, and his heart was a little settled.

But he didn't know how many times he had fought with the Jurchens, and he didn't have the slightest confidence that he could defeat the Manchurian cavalry in the field.

As for Huang Taiji, although he was still on the offensive, he also realized that he was tactically at a disadvantage of being attacked from both sides, and the elite firearms equipped by the elite squad in front of him made him quite jealous.

At this time, Fan Wencheng, a strategist who was deeply valued by the emperor's Taiji, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Great Khan, I am afraid it will be difficult to win a decisive battle with Yuan Chonghuan now. Even if you win, you will lose a lot. The Great Khan, now the Great Bel Daishan, the Second Bel Amin, the Fifth Bel Mang Gurtai, and the Fourteen Bel Dolgon, who have grown up, are all eyeing each other, just waiting for the opportunity for the strength of the Three Banners under the command of the Great Khan......"

Huang Taiji is very calm in life, and rarely makes reckless decisions because of personal feelings.

And Fan Wencheng's words made Huang Taiji think clearly about the benefits and losses, and immediately bowed his hand to Yuan Chonghuan, who was standing on the city of Tongzhou: "Inspector Yuan, the small city of Tongzhou is too shabby. You and I are heroes of the world, how can this small city accommodate it? Today is the day of Ben Khan's reunion with the Governor, how about I wait for the appointment to fight again? ”

Yuan Chonghuan was actually waiting for an opportunity to go down the stairs.

Therefore, he listened to Huang Taiji's words with a faint hint of timidity, so he immediately answered: "It's okay." It's good to let you live a few more days, you go back and wash your neck, don't let this inspector stain the treasure knife in his hand! ”

Huang Taiji is not the kind of brave horseman with a tongue, sneered, arched his hand, and personally broke the back, waving his subordinates to the three banners of yellow, inlaid yellow, and white to calmly withdraw from the battlefield.

In this way, the bloody battle that had almost taken place under the city of Tongzhou came to an end in the process of Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji fighting each other.

After Huang Taiji left, a few hours later, all the generals who were sent out of the city by Yuan Chonghuan, including He Kegang, had returned to the city.

Most of these generals clashed with the Eight Banners cavalry, some won and some lost, and on the whole they lost more and won less, but after all, they brought the whole army back, and there were no major losses.

And with the record of seriously injuring the Great Belle Daishan and forcing back the Great Khan Emperor Taiji by the 500 people of Ji Qingwen's department, the battle that occurred on November 15 in the second year of Chongzhen finally ended with the Ming army having a slight upper hand.

Since the beginning of October of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji entered the customs, the Ming army was defeated and retreated, not only lost the important pass of Xifeng Pass, but also lost the senior general Zhao Shujiao, the general of Shanhaiguan, and lost five or six cities near Zunhua by the way, which can be described as a heavy loss and successive defeats.

The battle a full month and a half later finally turned the situation around, which was enough to make Yuan Chonghuan, who was ordered to enter the Guanqin King, overjoyed.

So Yuan Chonghuan just saw off the Jurchen Great Khan Emperor Taiji, so he immediately returned to the Chinese army's big tent, wrote a letter of the chapter with his own handwriting, scanned it a few times, and found that a few typos were changed on the chapter, and it was too late to re-transcribe it, so he sent a safe and fast henchman to send it directly to the Beijing Division.

Because Ji Qingwen, who was also in the army, had the right to secretly play a direct performance, and Yuan Chonghuan's character disdained to compete with his subordinates for merit, so he wrote this recital to be quite realistic, and even the episode of Wu Sangui risking his life to go out of the city to rescue his father Wu Xiang was written into the recital as an anecdote.

After entering the pass, he fought the Manchurian cavalry for the first time, and it was the real elite of the Eight Banners under the leadership of the Great Khan Emperor Taiji and the Great Belle Daishan, and achieved a small victory, which was enough to make the officers and men of the three armies rejoice.

Therefore, Inspector Yuan, who was usually strict and upright, finally reluctantly opened Chrysostom and allowed the officers and men of the whole army to eat, drink and celebrate, but they could not drink alcohol, so as not to get drunk and make mistakes.

It is said to be eating, drinking, and celebrating, but it is actually quite simple.

At present, the great enemy, the people in Tongzhou City have been empty, and the prefect of Tongzhou would rather resign than stay in this dangerous city.

Therefore, the soldiers brought by Yuan Chonghuan from outside the customs could only kill and clean the wounded war horses, or chop them into meat paste and wrap dumplings, or roast them on the fire until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, or put the whole piece of good meat in the pot to stew in soup - although these horse meat are crude and simple, they are also a rare delicacy when marching and fighting, and they are good meals and dishes that this bitter soldier may not be able to eat during the New Year.

The main venue of this celebration banquet was naturally set up in Yuan Chonghuan's Chinese army tent.

Ji Qingwen now nominally obeys Yuan Chonghuan's moderation, and naturally eats and drinks in the tent.

But Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates are all generals from Liaodong, and they all speak to each other with a very heavy Liaodong accent, mixed with a lot of slang words that only Liaodong locals understand, so that Ji Qingwen just wants to echo the voice, but he can't interject.

So he found a reason, said goodbye, and ate and drank with the five hundred henchmen he brought from Suzhou.

The food of these five hundred regiments is better than the food of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry under the command of Inspector Yuan.

In order to feed this group of elite soldiers who were recruited with great difficulty and trained with hard work, before Ji Qingwen came to Beijing, he specially asked the sea merchant Zheng Zhilong to purchase fresh fish, meat, poultry, vegetables and other raw materials, and marinated them with spices in the unique method of sailors who ran the boat, and then sent them to Ji Qingwen's army with ordinary dry food and rice noodles in the sea boat.

After such treatment, the raw materials will be stored for an extremely long time, and will not deteriorate without encountering extreme humidity; Second, the deliciousness of salt, spices, and spices has penetrated into the fish, and a little cooking on the battlefield is a good dish with a fragrant and full taste.
