The Manchu soldiers under the city, who came day and night, were already exhausted, and the day was almost dawn, and it was the coldest time of the day. At this time, they could be said to be cold, hungry and tired, and they wanted to go into the city immediately and hide in a warm house, eat a full meal and sleep well, but the guards on duty in Sinuiju did not act quickly, so they were angry one by one, and they urged up with nonsense.

But at this moment, someone at the head of the city suddenly shouted loudly, and there seemed to be a little impatience in his tone: "The Ming army left early, and you came in vain with food!" ”

As soon as this voice sounded, the original shouting outside the city suddenly became silent, as if someone had suddenly banned it. Duoduo also heard this voice under the city, and was immediately stunned.

These Manchu soldiers, up and down, all had only one thought at this time, how could the Ming army move so fast? The food is all gone, why did the Ming army rob it again?

Just as they were stunned, a "creaking" sound sounded, and the city gate was opened. But there were so many Manchu cavalry outside the city, and they were in a hurry to enter the city just now, but at this time, no one had the intention of entering the city, and they were all still in a daze.

For a while, there were so many outside the city, but it seemed quiet, and the atmosphere was a little weird!

Suddenly, a voice sounded, very loud, very loud, and everyone who heard it could hear the monstrous anger contained in it: "Azig, you stupid pig, such an important grain was snatched away by the Ming army, what are you doing to eat?" your ancestors! ”

Duoduo's subordinates were all from Seoul, North Korea, so they naturally knew that these grains were squeezed out to Liaodong under Dorgon's strict orders. How important so much food is to the Qing soldiers in Korea and to the Qing soldiers in Liaodong. But these grains were robbed by the Ming army and could not be recovered.

They could empathize with their master's roar of Dodor, and they all hated Azig very much for losing the grain. It can be said that they listened very much to the same hatred. But at the end, they suddenly felt strange, the ancestors of Dodor Azig, they have the same father and mother, isn't that ......

On the other side of the Yalu River, at the head of Zhenjiang Fort, Azige, who was waiting anxiously, suddenly saw a fire dragon appear in the official road to the west, coming towards Zhenjiang Fort. Just look at it for a while, you can know that it is the army coming, and there are quite a few of them, and there are still a few torches moving quickly in this direction, obviously there are cavalry coming.

"Master, it should be the reinforcements from Phoenix City who have arrived!" A guard reminded in surprise. Arriving at this time, it seems that the Qing army in Phoenix City is desperately on the way.

Azig himself guessed it, and couldn't help but be in good spirits, and clapped his hands and said: "Good, good, it's good, just in time for tomorrow's battle against the Ming army!" ”

Or maybe the movement in the west was too loud, and it wasn't until the guards reminded him that Azig found that there was also the sound of horses' hooves coming from the east, and it was obvious that news had come back. For a while, Azig couldn't help but look forward to it, the dead soldier succeeded, killed and wounded the Ming army, and tomorrow the army attacked it again, and it was possible to leave the famous governor of the Ming Kingdom Denglai!

"Report to Lord Beile, our army has not seen the Ming army until the Yalu River. Judging from the traces, the Ming army has already taken food and people, and all of them have left by boat......"

Before the person who gave the message finished speaking, he heard someone exclaim: "Master, master......"

The sky finally dawned, and the emperor Taiji of Shenyang thought about it all night, and finally sent a decree to let the princes and beylors go to the Chongzheng Palace to discuss matters.

Dai Shan died of his son, and he had not come to the court several times under his sadness, but this time, he heard the wind and knew what the court meeting was this time, so he endured his sadness. None of the other princes, Baylor, were absent.

They met each other, and it was rare for everyone to smile, and it was clear that everyone knew what was going on. When Huang Taiji appeared, seeing that he was also smiling on his face, many princes and Baylor knew that the news they received was right, it must be that!

In this, only Haoge was very annoyed in his heart, and secretly scolded in his heart, the news had already passed over, and those clear dogs belonged to pigs, and they couldn't stop them!

Huang Taiji on the throne, looking at today's court meeting, no one was absent, so he smiled slightly, and said directly to the point: "The imperial brother of the Joseon really knows the general situation, and has gathered a lot of grain to transport to Liaodong. Yesterday, I received a report from Kuaimalai that the grain and grass had crossed the Yalu River and returned to Liaodong. It won't be long before the grain arrives in Shenyang. I know that the flags are not having a good time these days, and now that the food is almost here, I have decided to agree on how to distribute it first, and when the food arrives, I will divide it directly. What do you think? ”

Sure enough, all the princes and ministers were overjoyed, and hurriedly responded loudly.

"Your Majesty is wise and admired!"

"Your Majesty has foresight, and the ministers should obey their orders!"

"Your Majesty, many people have starved to death under the minister's banner, and I don't know what to do, this food is coming, and the minister thinks that he should share a little more."

"The ministers also starved to death a lot, Your Majesty, the ministers also have to share a little more."

“……”

The response in the Chongzheng Palace, from the initial sycophancy, soon turned to a naked fight for food for his own bannermen, and there was almost no words in between. Obviously, in their view, food is the most important, and everything else is empty.

Huang Taiji couldn't even speak, and the courtiers below fought a war of words over the distribution of food.

At first, he just complained about how his flag was short of food. But later, when someone heard that other flags were shameless and exaggerated, they couldn't help but expose or reprimand each other, so between the flags, naturally you dismantle my platform, I demolish your platform, and the Chongzheng Hall suddenly became very lively.

When Huang Taiji on the throne saw it, his brows furrowed, and he knew that there must be something to be done about the distribution of this grain, and it was also because of this understanding that he had to think about it all night and decided to decide in advance how to distribute that batch of grain.

Before he could open his mouth, he suddenly saw two courtiers below talking and moving. It seemed that the man was said to be red-faced, and suddenly he couldn't help but punch him, and after the beaten person was struck, he immediately kicked over. So, the two quickly got together. For the sake of food, what Sven, what official prestige, all of them are gone, they are all gone, they are thrown on the ground, and the pearls are rolling all over the hall, anyway, these are no longer managed, and they will fight each other first.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji was furious, and with a "snap", he slammed the table, his face turned red, and shouted: "Do you still have me in your eyes?" ”

Hauge watched from the side, and his depressed mood couldn't help but feel a little better, and the chaos was good! At this time, when he heard Huang Taiji's question, he couldn't help but secretly replied in his heart: "They only have food in their eyes!" ”

Thinking of this, Haoge couldn't help but be depressed again, Minggou was really useless, he revealed the news in advance, and let this batch of grain come back, they are all stupid pigs!

Huang Taiji was angry, and the Chongzheng Hall suddenly fell silent. The two courtiers who were rolling on the ground and fighting maintained a posture of holding each other, turned their heads to look at Huang Taiji on the throne, and for a while, they all fell.

When Huang Taiji saw it, he couldn't help but be full of anger, he really wanted to give an order, let people tie the two of them like this with a rope, and throw them out to show the public, to see if they dare to be presumptuous in the Chongzheng Hall next time.

But in the end, such a will cannot be said. After all, these are the princes of the Qing Dynasty, Baylor, others can afford to lose this face, but he Emperor Taiji can't afford to lose this face.

The two people who hugged each other came back to their senses, and they were suddenly a little embarrassed, and they hurriedly separated, and hurriedly asked Huang Taiji for their guilt: "Your Majesty, Weichen is worried about Qiding, and he is anxious for a while, and he is rude in front of the emperor, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, you can punish Weichen as much as you want, but please see that there are many starving people under the minister's banner, and there is no shortage of food!" ”

Huang Taiji also had no temper when he heard it, they made such a rude behavior, in the end, there was still no food to make trouble! Last year's hope was stabbed in the back by the Horqin people, if it weren't for the drying up of the north and fishing, the Qing Dynasty would not have been able to hold on to it now. The Ming Kingdom is grasping the grain and using soldiers, and the Qing Dynasty is really difficult to deal with!

Thinking like this, he is not ready to take heavy responsibility, but the royal front is rude, and he doesn't want to see a next time, so he is thinking, what punishment should be given to them?

However, what Huang Taiji didn't expect was that before he could come up with a suitable punishment, he heard a lot of movement outside. While everyone was still surprised, hurried footsteps came outside the temple.

An attendant quickly entered the palace gate and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the messenger of Tangzhan Fort will see you outside the palace, and there is an urgent military situation. ”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Chongzheng Hall couldn't help but be surprised. Where the soup station fort is, they naturally know. Almost everyone immediately thought that this emergency military situation must have something to do with the food. In other words, there may be something wrong with the security of those foods!

Huang Taiji stood up from the throne for the first time when he heard this, leaned forward, and shouted a little out of shape: "Where is the messenger? See you soon! ”

Almost everyone's hearts were raised, and they looked at the temple gate together, thinking about what military information they could hear for the first time. Among them, Hao Ge was the only one in a relaxed mood, thinking in his heart, could it really be that the Ming army came to rob the grain?

The chamberlain conveyed the Emperor's will to the outside of the palace, and a messenger, supported by two imperial guards, appeared in front of everyone. As soon as he let go, the messenger couldn't stand, and fell to his knees with a puff, panting and saying, "As soon as the grain guard team left Zhenjiang Fort, they were intercepted and killed by the Ming army. is the head of the Ming general, it is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai. ”

This is the war has not ended, and the military information is urgently delivered. This is also the case, so that it can be transmitted to Shenyang so quickly.

Although the messenger's proclamation was brief, it frightened all these Manchu princes in the Chongzheng Palace. The Ming army came to intercept and kill again, or Denglai Governor Lu Xiangsheng, a professional grain robber, those grains are really dangerous! Recalling that just now there were so many fights of words over those foods, and even two of them even fought each other regardless of the etiquette in front of the emperor, is it ridiculous or pathetic?

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the soldiers and horses of my headquarters to set off to rescue immediately!" Without saying a word, Zilharang immediately came out of the ranks, and said with an unusually serious face.

His words broke the silence in the Chongzheng Palace, and when he thought of the food, even if it was an old thing like Daishan, he followed the line and said: "The minister is also willing to lead the army to rescue!" ”

Others also expressed their positions, all thinking of going to the rescue.

Huang Taiji's face was pale, but he didn't speak, and after a while, he seemed to be very reluctant to admit it, but he still shook his head slowly, as if it was extremely difficult to say: "It's late, it's late!" ”

When Zilharang heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, unless the Ming army burns those grains, we still have a chance." As far as the minister can see, Lu Xiangsheng has never burned grain, and nine times out of ten he will transport the grain back. In this way, the ministers followed in a hurry, and there was a possibility of recovering the grain. ”

Speaking of this, he pleaded again: "Please give an order from Your Majesty, and the quasi-ministers will lead the army to the rescue!" ”

He did not mention the question of whether the Ming army could succeed in robbing grain, because he knew that since the Ming army was led by Lu Xiangsheng, it must have planned and then moved, and he would not attack if he was not sure. Although Azig had 3,000 soldiers and horses, he was definitely not Lu Xiangsheng's opponent.

But he didn't mention it, but Hauge did: "It's still possible, the Ming army didn't win!" It's just out of Zhenjiang Fort, and there are still two thousand elites of the Qing Dynasty, and those Eight Banners of the Han Army have also been selected, so they won't be defeated by Minggou with one blow, right? “

To be honest, he was indeed a little worried, if Minggou didn't succeed, his hard work would be in vain. It's best to let this side go to the rescue later, so that the food given by Dolgon is completely hopeless, so that no one will miss Dolgon's good!

However, before his words could be spoken, before Huang Taiji could react, someone immediately replied sharply: "Azig, that idiot, how can he be Lu Xiangsheng's opponent, that batch of grain must have been lost!" ”

"Yes, I think back then, Azig took 7,000 soldiers and horses, and was defeated by Lu Xiangsheng, who only led the township soldiers at that time!" Someone immediately chimed in, mentioning the old incidents, and then asserted as if in hindsight, "Azig is a complete fool, it's strange to let him lead the troops to protect the grain and not lose the grain!" ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji's face was becoming more and more ugly, Zilharang knew that because Azig was a staunch supporter of Huang Taiji, he did not suffer a heavy punishment for that incident, and was reinstated soon after. This time, filming Azig to protect the grain was also the will of Huang Taiji. When these courtiers say this, aren't they slapping Huang Taiji in the face!

So, he immediately spoke loudly, and he couldn't let anyone else talk about this topic: "The minister leads the army to pursue, please give an order from Your Majesty!" ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he suddenly closed his eyes, his face was full of pain, and he said slowly: "It's late, it's late!" Lu Xiangsheng chose to do it near Zhenjiang Fort, and he must have prepared a sailor to respond! ”
