Zhu Yuan heard Jackie Chan say this and knew what the reason was, but as a prince, he would not dare to oppose his own Lao Tzu no matter what. But Zhu Yuan secretly swore in his heart that if he had the day when he was in power in the future, he would definitely suppress those Qiu Ba and let those military leaders spit out all the silver.

After leaving these displaced people, the team continued to travel south, and after passing through Gaoyi County, the situation became more and more severe, and there were more and more displaced people on both sides of the official road, Ding Changsheng was afraid that there would be problems on the road, so he tried to shorten the distance as much as possible, only traveling forty miles a day, and definitely not rushing after dark.

In this way, there was no danger through Zhending Mansion and Shunde Mansion, and entered Zhangde Mansion in Henan Province, which was Anyang City in later generations.

Zhangde was the western route of Zhu Hongsan's Northern Expedition, and more than 100,000 Manchu and Han troops were also concentrated here, so there were also many battles outside Zhangde City. Zhu Hongsan's new army is an all-firearms army, and it has a great destructive power on the city wall, so the city wall of Zhangde Mansion has not been rebuilt until now, and it is still a piece of broken walls.

According to the law of the imperial court, the local government was responsible for food supply, but Zhangde became like this, how could there be any food, and in the end, Ding Changsheng had no choice but to force the prefect of Zhangde to hang himself, so he finally got a few hundred catties of corn, which would be enough to support Kaifeng.

Zhangde is already the land of Henan, and the situation in this place is even worse than that of Beizhili. There are now less than 3,000 people in Zhangde Mansion, and most of them have either fled or died in the troubled times. Even the high-ranking officials of the Zhangde prefect can only work in a broken temple, no way, the yamen was burned down by the war of the year, and it would be good to have a broken temple to shelter from the wind and rain.

Zhu Yuan was already surprised by what he had seen and heard along the way, and he didn't enter Zhangde Mansion City, anyway, there was no place to live in peace, so after getting food, he passed through Zhangde directly and went to Kaifeng.

Starting from Zhangde, a large number of white bones appeared on the left and right of Nanguan Road, and Zhu Yuan found someone to ask only to know that these white bones were left by the new army to capture Zhangde five or six years ago.

When Zhu Hongsan went on the Northern Expedition, Jinan was the main battlefield, but more than 100,000 Manchu and Han troops were also concentrated here in Zhangde, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty concentrated the troops from Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hanyang in the area of Zhangde and the Daimyofu, in order to prevent Zhu Hongsan from entering Shanxi from here and threatening Beijing's flank.

At this time, Ding Changsheng's loud voice came from the front of the team: "See, this place is the place where Lao Tzu died in the battle, and the first twenty miles is Tangyin County, Lao Tzu was the first to climb to the top of the city, so after the war, Lao Tzu was promoted to deputy commander!" ”

Zhu Yuan heard Ding Changsheng brag that he had participated in the Battle of Zhangde, and couldn't help but be very curious, so he asked the guards to find Ding Changsheng to ask him in detail.

After Ding Changsheng came, he heard Zhu Yuan ask about the events of the year, and he felt honored in his heart, which was one of the few places he could brag about.

Ding Changsheng cleared his throat and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, when you were old. . . Xiaguan followed Commander Ma from Wuchang to the north, originally going to Shaanxi, but he knew that the Qing army in Shaanxi had been transferred to Zhangde to defend our army north, so His Majesty the Emperor ordered our four divisions to attack Zhangde directly! ”

In order to deal with Zhu Hongsan of the Northern Expedition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could be said to have formed a line of defense in Zhangde, Daming, Dongchang, and Jinan in the middle of the country, hoping to organize the advance of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Zhangde, as the westernmost line, concentrated 780,000 Manchu and Han troops from Shaanxi and Shanxi, as well as 50,000 or 60,000 troops from Hanyang to Henan, King Wu Sangui of Pingxi. For a time, Zhangde gathered Mandahai, the prince of Doluo, Wakda, the king of Doro, Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi, and Li Guohan, Gushan Ezhen, and other Manchu and Han generals, which were really full of talents.

However, Yue Le, the commander-in-chief of the Manchu Western Front, misjudged the situation, he thought that he could lead the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to penetrate through the gaps of the Ming army, and wipe out the middle route army, that is, the Praetorian Guard led by Zhu Hongsan himself, in one fell swoop, so that the Ming army's more than 200,000 troops could be leaderless, and then broken in parts.

Yue Le originally thought that Wu Sangui's 30,000 Liaodong Iron Cavalry was not as elite as the Manchurian Eight Banners, but there was still a fight against the cavalry of the Ming Army, but he knew that Wu Sangui was defeated by the heavy cavalry of the Ming Army in half an hour. Wu Sangui's defeat also caused a complete rout on the front, and Yue Le's 80,000 Manchu cavalry also fell short.

However, although Wu Sangui failed, he did not die, but fled to Zhangde with thousands of remnants of the defeated army, after all, there are still tens of thousands of troops here.

After defeating Yue Le's cavalry, Zhu Hongsan divided the army into two parts, and took the main force from Jinan to the canal to capture Beijing. The partial division was handed over to Ma Kun to lead, and from Zhangde to the north to Shanxi, to attack Beijing's flank.

Wu Sangui fled to Zhangde with his men, and if the Qing army here was not from Shanxi, or from Shaanxi, Wu Sangui's Liaodong iron cavalry would not be treated at all, and there was no way Wu Sangui received a military order to garrison Tangyin County, which was twenty miles away.

The first battle of the partial division led by Ma Kun was to capture Tangyin, and Ding Changsheng also emerged in this battle and was the first to climb the head of Tangyin City.

The more Ding Changsheng talked here, the more excited he became, he took off his military hat, and rode on a horse to talk about his scenery back then.

"Your Royal Highness King Yan, you don't know, back then, the first officials to climb the city wall, the first to rush into the city, and kill those Liaodong dog cubs. And what is the prince of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what Gui, his little wife is really good-looking, I heard that it is a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, what is it called round and square, she is twenty-seven or eight years old this year, she looks like fifteen or sixteen, the waist, the skin, is much stronger than my yellow-faced mother-in-law! ”

A guy with stinky feet on the side asked, "Commander, then you didn't stay to enjoy it yourself?" ”

Ding Changsheng sighed and said: "Hey, this is what Lao Tzu regrets the most, we also know our military discipline, you are not allowed to rob people's daughters, there is no way to do some happy things by yourself during the war, but if you want to stay until after the war, isn't it uncomfortable?" You don't know the ginger blind man of the second division! Lao Tzu was really reluctant to be that round, but there was no way, so he had to kill it with a knife after he was happy, and now Lao Tzu regretted it when he remembered those tearful eyes! ”

"Regiment leader, I heard that the blind Jiang of the Second Division was demoted by His Majesty the Emperor because he killed the daughter of the prefect!"

When he mentioned the second division, Ding Changsheng was angry, now the second division in the army is the most powerful, and it has surpassed the first division, which is also no way, almost all the major battles back then were fought by the second division, and naturally the official position of the second division is higher than others. At the same time, the guys of the Second Division were very domineering, and when they saw that other troops were born in suppression, they made the Second Division become a rat crossing the street in the army, and everyone shouted and beat it.

Ding Changsheng came from Ma Kun's fourth division, although his combat exploits were not bad, but they were much worse than the second division, and naturally Ding Changsheng also suffered a lot of anger from the second division in the army.

Now mentioning the second division Ding Changsheng scolded: "These bastards of the second division blow the sky every day, it seems that the entire Northern Expedition was fought by them, if it weren't for our fourth division to block the Manchu Western Route Army here in Zhangde, the bastards of the second division could still capture Jinan in one day?" It's good now, you look at the bastards of the Second Division, from the division commander Zhao Guodong to the company platoon commander at the grassroots level, one by one they are dragged like 2580,000, it's really not a fucking thing! ”

Zhu Yuan listened to Ding Changsheng finish talking about the war of the year, and he was not in the mood to listen to him and then curse the second division, at this time, the team happened to pass through Tangyin County, Zhu Yuan stood in the carriage and wanted to see the fierce battlefield of that year.

Tangyin is now completely uninhabited, because no one wants to live with tens of thousands of dead people. Now the city wall can no longer be seen in Tangyin County, only piles of earth can be seen, and the city wall should have been collapsed by artillery. The city was completely in ruins, there was not even a single intact building, and the inside and outside of the city were covered with white bones, which can also be seen how fierce the battle was back then.

At this time, after Tangyin, Ding Changsheng didn't scold the second division anymore, and began to tell the people around him how he got to the top of the city back then, and how his comrades-in-arms fought to the death with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Zhu Yuan was not in the mood to listen to Ding Changsheng bragging here, so he went back to the car to rest.

After passing through Tangyin County, you will arrive at Weihui, and it is not far from Kaifeng. The team that greeted the Qin Cha in Kaifeng Mansion had been waiting here in Wei Hui five days ago, and when they learned that the Qin Cha had arrived, they hurried out of the city to greet them.

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture came to greet him in person, and when he saw that Qin was coming, he quickly knelt down on his knees and kowtowed. In fact, according to the law of the imperial court, there is no need to salute, but this time the Qin sent to check the situation in the province, and this kind of upper eyelid is better not to offend, so the prefect of Kaifeng decided to follow the etiquette of the former Ming Dynasty.

The prefect of Kaifeng knelt on the ground and saw the carriage coming, and hurriedly shouted: "Yin Xuetian of Kaifeng Mansion, welcome Lord Qincha!" "The civil power of the Ming Dynasty was extremely strong, not to mention the prince, that is, the emperor said that if he didn't give face, he wouldn't give face, so Zhu Yuan's identity as a prince was really bad in Beijing, and these officials in Henan were afraid of the identity of Qincha.

Zhu Yuan opened the curtain of the car, looked at the Kaifeng prefect kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Why didn't your governor and political envoy come?" "According to the interests of officialdom, when officials like Qincha pass through places, those magistrates should go out of the city for thirty miles to welcome them, why did only one prefect come today?

"Lord Hui, Lord Zhang of the Domain impeached Lord Wu of Futai, and according to the usual practice, the two officials must be recused, so the Lord of Futai sent the lower officials to greet Lord Qincha!"

When Zhu Yuan heard that he was evading, it was reasonable to say this, after all, he was the Qincha who investigated the case, and it was not good to meet with the two parties before the case was investigated.

"Okay, then please ask Lord Xue to lead the way, this king is going to cross the Yellow River today and rest in Kaifeng City!"

Xue Tian was relieved when he heard that this young Qincha did not hold him accountable, he looked at the official position as the prefect of Kaifeng, but there were governors, political envoys, and inspectors to manage him, in fact, the degree of happiness was far less than that of the prefects in remote areas, and he was forced by the governor Wu to meet the Qincha today, and there was really no way.
