Zhou Lang has retreated to Tongzhou, he has completed his cooperation with He Shen, and he has to sigh at He Shen's directing talent.

According to the agreement with He Shen, he would pretend to be defeated when He Shen attacked the Old Summer Palace and withdrew, leaving the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace to Fengshen Yinde.

Then, in order to win the trust, he would throw hundreds of cannons to Fengshen Yinde, and Fengshen Yinde would continue to pursue.

At this time, Zhou Lang will send troops to attack the Fengshen Yinde army with "grain and grass baggage", and Fengshen Yinde will personally cut off the rear, and then hand over these "grain and grass baggage" to Zhou Lang's army.

Everyone knows what is in these grains and grasses.

Feng Shen Yinde led the troops to attack the Old Summer Palace, and those Eight Banners in the army couldn't see anything wrong, because Feng Shen Yinde was fighting and rushing in front all the way, and they just followed the way to see the enemy defeated and retreated, and they would not have doubts.

Let them follow to fight two victories, but also let them witness Fengshen Yinde's military exploits, the reason why there is that defeat, is to keep the delivery secret, Zhou Lang a dozen, kill a group of people, and beat these powerful children cold, and then Fengshen Yinde proposed to let them break through, after they broke off, these people must agree immediately, and then Fengshen Yinde and his coat were left to complete the delivery, and this matter was kept secret.

All the plans are tightly knit, very meticulous, there is no loophole, even if you confront the parties, you can't find the slightest fault, and Shen's director's skills are really Oscar-level, so that Zhou Lang can't help but admire, such a talent, how can he be a corrupt official, if he takes refuge in Zhou Lang, he will be able to make a contribution.

In such a complicated situation, Zhou Lang was not afraid of He Shen deceiving him, he hadn't withdrawn his troops yet, so it was a big deal to continue to attack the city.

He believes that in this regard, He Shen will not dare to deceive him, this kind of shady business is often more honest, otherwise once exposed, both parties will not end well. And Zhou Lang is not afraid of exposure, how dare He Shen deceive Zhou Lang. Besides, it's still the same sentence, Zhou Lang hasn't withdrawn yet.

But the next situation made Zhou Lang feel a little unhappy.

I don't know what the hell happened, but the Beijing army actually began to attack one after another, all of them riding war horses and holding scimitars, and they didn't pay attention to the formation, and rushed forward with a roar.

This doesn't follow the script.

The agreement with He Shen was that after getting the money, Zhou Lang would withdraw his troops, and the two sides would not contact each other again.

But Zhou Lang is already ready to withdraw the army, and the Eight Banners soldiers in Beijing seem to have to play with their lives, which is what kind of style to draw.

Zhou Lang was not happy, and the front-line army killed a group of Eight Banner Iron Cavalry, and then they were honest.

What Zhou Lang didn't know was that in the city of Beijing, thieves were not proficient in martial arts, as long as they rushed in and slashed, the other party would only be killed, and these sayings had spread.

Those powerful children who saw that Feng Shen Yinde could make great contributions couldn't help but itch.

They also know a little about the situation outside the city, the thieves shelled Chaoyangmen, and made a detour to loot the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace.

This makes them think of the words that the Ming Dynasty people evaluated their ancestors back then, what "plundered the five mansions, plundered away", "lasted three months, plundered away", "half a year, plundered away", "slaughtered the suburbs, plundered away", the core word is saturated and gone.

But their ancestors entered the customs and looted back then, but they robbed some states and counties, and they robbed ordinary people. But these pirates, he, he, he robbed the emperor. The Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace were looted, and how many good things they got here.

Thinking that Zhou Lang was plundered, it was the emperor's family who was plundered, and it was a group of rabble who were not proficient in martial arts, and the children of the Eight Banners couldn't help but want to attack.

Fengshen Yinde did it, why can't Lao Tzu do it, Fengshen Yinde has a few catties and taels, who doesn't know, Lao Tzu beats him like beating his grandson.

There are thousands of people who think like this, so they contacted each other and asked for war, and the emperor saw that the army was available, so he approved a few children to attack.

As a result, there were dead and wounded, and no one dared to attack again.

No one envied Zhou Lang and plundered, why should they be envious.

At this time, He Shen had already put aside the gossip in the capital, no matter how unbelievable the children of other powerful people were, his son would not be able to run away with this great achievement.

He first sorted out the report, and asked Feng Shen Yinde to write to Jiaqing to ask for guilt, saying that because he was carelessly ambushed by thieves, he lost a lot of people and horses, lost grain and grass, and asked for a demotion.

Jiaqing was relieved with good words, saying that Fengshen Yinde attacked decisively, won two and lost one, and had no faults, and he also played the emperor of Mingtai, and rewarded his good life.

He Shen's remarks to Qianlong are another set.

Qianlong is different from Jiaqing, Jiaqing is calm and introverted, doing things at a glance, meritorious service will definitely be rewarded, great merit will be rewarded, small merit will be rewarded, and he will not look at each other differently because he likes or dislikes; Qianlong is different, Qianlong is a man of temperament, he is happy, and it is not strange to do anything.

So He Shen said to Qianlong, in fact, his son has no ability, just a loyal heart, and he can endure anything else, when he heard that the Old Summer Palace was occupied, he couldn't eat angrily, and decided to go out of the city to kill the thief, and wrote a suicide note before leaving, and told his family to take care of his wife and children.

Qianlong is almost ninety, he is getting better and better, more and more emotional, and he also feels that this child is filial. Especially when he made a suicide note, he didn't forget his wife and children, and his wife and children were not Qianlong's favorite daughter and grandson.

As soon as Qianlong was emotional, he immediately rewarded the first-class lieutenant of the light car, and if he attacked the lord in the future, he could choose a son to attack the knight, and reward him with five thousand taels of silver, and a number of treasures.

Qian Heshen didn't care, but that first-class light car lieutenant was worth a fortune. Not about how high the title itself is, but about the significance.

He Shen's father, Chang Bao, was only a third-class light car lieutenant, and after He Shen attacked the lord, he was now promoted to the earl, but He Shen was the lord. Now Fengshen Yinde is relying on his military exploits to earn another title for the Heshen family. Not to mention that this title has the help of Heshen, it will take a few years to be promoted to a baron viscount, at least the third generation of Heshen can have two people who attack the lord, and the vast lintel.

And this is to push his son to the forefront, he is such a son, the family business he earned is enough for Fengshen Yinde to be used, but Fengshen Yinde can not keep it, he has no confidence, and Shen has fought for a lifetime, won many times, but also offended many people, if he dies, no one can say how many people will attack the family, must let his son have his own power, this can keep the wealth.

So over the years, he took advantage of Qianlong's faintness to constantly add officials to Fengshen Yinde, but the official was promoted, and his personal ability and power were still the same.

Now it's okay, not only has he earned enough military merits, but also the group of young and powerful children who went out of the city together are the best network of Fengshen Yinde, and when these young people grow up, the Manchu and Qing dynasties are their next generation, and if they form a group, Fengshen Yinde will have peace of mind.

Thinking of this, He Shen finally felt that the money was worth it.

Zhou Lang's side began to retreat, still covering alternately, responding to each other, more cautious than when he marched, and retreating very slowly.

Zhou Lang was in the camp step by step, but the Qing army was dispatched, pressing step by step, but he didn't attack, he just hung from afar.

Flies are general, which annoys Zhou Lang, regardless of these people, it is not cost-effective to find him a Confucius, and bite you coldly. Ignore them, they are a group of horsemen with excellent horsemanship, and they can't catch up.

According to Ma Dalei, these people can play acrobatics on horses, probably horsemen outside the gate, and they should be Mongolians depending on the clothes, and it is difficult to say whether they are Mongolian Eight Banners.

These Mongolian light cavalry did not have the ability to attack the fortified position, and the bow and arrow shooting was also restrained by the hollow phalanx, without any chance, but it made Zhou Lang's retreat very hard.

It took a month to get to Tianjin, and they followed all the way to Tianjin, Zhou Lang left Tongzhou, they entered Tongzhou, and now Zhou Lang has arrived in Tianjin, they also came to Tianjin, Zhou Lang knows the purpose of these people, which is to follow behind to recover the city and mix up some meritorious deeds.

After arriving in Tianjin, he ordered the soldiers to rest immediately, which was too tiring.

Zhou Lang actually had to go, and the losses in this Northern Expedition were very large.

He brought with him an army of 48,000 troops, all the way to the city of Beijing without major losses. Before coming, I made sufficient preparations, winter clothes were ready, wearing a coat made of British wool, cold and warm, although I underestimated the climate of this era in Beijing, one by one frozen into dogs, but there were no casualties.

Who would have thought that in the spring, everything recovered, all kinds of epidemics also recovered, and the soldiers carried through the severe cold, but they were knocked down by the epidemic, and malaria was epidemic in the army.

There were constant non-combat attrition, once there was military service, Zhou Lang immediately adopted the method of isolation and withdrawal, evacuated the wounded and sick to the rear, and treated them in hospitals, the mortality rate was not high, but the combat effectiveness had a great impact, when he withdrew from Beijing, only 20,000 of the 38,000 people remained, which also made him completely unable to really fight Beijing.

The troops who had been baptized by disease died 1,200 people, ten times more than on the battlefield.

This made Zhou Lang feel very bad.

gave an order to the whole of the group who had been staying in Tianjin.

"I can't move. You teach me a hard lesson to the cavalry outside the city. Kill as many as you can, kill them at once, follow them like dogs, and make people unappetizing! ”

Zhou Lang was indeed angry, his army was not in good shape, but he was never able to relax by these people, resulting in hundreds of people dying of illness on the road.

Gou Quan is the junior general with the least seniority under Zhou Lang, but his overall qualifications are actually not shallow.

He was one of the first soldiers of the Left Battalion to be recruited by Colin, and he completed his training earlier than Zhou Lang's men and had more combat experience.

It's a pity that he followed the wrong person, and after Zhou Lang was reorganized, he started from Zhou Lang and climbed to his current position step by step, which can be regarded as a bittersweet end.

But Gou Quan can't do anything about the Mongolian soldiers outside the city, the other party's riding skills are excellent, and if you don't want to fight with you, you can't catch the other party at all, and the tiger has nowhere to eat.

After resting in Tianjin for a month, Zhou Lang's troops eased up, and the Mongolian soldiers outside the city still did not leave, and they were waiting to recover Tianjin.

Zhou Lang didn't want to give up Tianjin, anyway, the agreement with He Shen didn't have anything about Tianjin.

Continue to leave the hook full.

"Let them stay outside the city, I don't believe they can ride their horses up the walls. You are here to watch, and if anyone wants you to go, tell him that if you don't have forty million taels, don't mention it! ”

At this time, another thing happened, which made the angry Zhou Lang sprinkle all his anger on He Shen, if He Shen still wanted to do business, he would have to continue to bleed.

This is really a thing to drop a thing, across Beijing and Tianjin for half a year, there is no opponent, but there is no way to deal with a group of Mongolian herdsmen.

Zhou Lang did not shy away from others, but when he heard that Wei Lianli, who could collect money again, immediately took the initiative to ask for help.

"Dashuai, I am willing to stay and help Lord Gou count the accounts!"

Zhou Lang thought about it, Wei Lianli might be more suitable to do this kind of thing than Gou Quan, so he agreed to let him stay.
