Section 23 Slave chieftains

After the Battle of Songshan, Zhu Yunwen rolled up Azig and Abatai, who were still tied by Jin Huang's rope, and returned to the capital in a foggy manner. The golden dangling rope that tied the two slave chiefs was the magic weapon bundle immortal rope that Guangchengzi left in the cave dzi back then. Poor Zhu Yunwen's dignified and Guangchengzi's next-generation heir, the magic weapon in his hand is just such a pitiful three or two.

The captured Azig and Abatai, plus Bolo, who was captured before them, were taken into the sky at this time, and at the same time, their faces were as pale as earth, and they were full of admiration for Zhu Yunwen, who was standing in the clouds and his clothes fluttering.

Although at this time, they already knew that the god who captured them was Emperor Jianwen, the ancestor of the Ming royal family. But this does not prevent them from prostrate at the feet of Zhu Yunwen, even the old slave was the slave of Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, not to mention that this is still the ancestor of the Ming royal family in front of him, and he is still a real god!

In the palace, Chongzhen, who heard the news of the eunuch's return to the palace, immediately put down the chapter he was reading in his hand, and walked quickly to the Taiji Palace, where he happened to see Zhu Yunwen saying something to a few Jiannu kneeling in front of him with rat tail braids.

Chongzhen frowned, didn't look at the kneeling Jiannu, walked quickly to Zhu Yunwen's side, arched his hands and saluted, and asked eagerly:

"Ancestor, how is the war going outside the gates? The 3,000 guards led by Fang Zhenghua are worthy of a battle? What is the outcome of the victory, defeat, casualties? ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "What's the matter, the army formed by the ancestor himself, you still doubt their combat strength?" See these captives? This is the old slave's twelfth son Azig and the seventh son Abatai, in the battle of Songshan, the guards and the Songshan defenders surrounded the 40,000 army of Jiannu, captured the two slave chieftains, the 40,000 army of Jiannu disappeared, and no one fled to Jinzhou to report to Huang Taiji. ”

Chongzhen was suddenly ecstatic, and tears flowed out of the ground. Sitting on the throne of the emperor over the years, Chongzhen has also had a hard time. As a vassal king, he has never learned the way of the emperor. When his brother Emperor Tianqi suddenly died, he was pushed to the emperor's throne by the Donglin Party.

I thought that the Donglin Party people were all for the country and the people, but who would have thought that Chongzhen overthrew Wei Zhongxian, abolished Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and promoted many Donglin Party members into the court, forming the so-called Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty situation, but the Ming Dynasty is declining day by day.

After years of natural disasters and man-made/calamities, the Donglin Party members in the DPRK and China not only failed to put forward good policies for governing the country, but also suppressed non-Donglin Party officials and suppressed the imperial power. As a result, the imperial court could not provide disaster relief with the people, and second, it could not eliminate the scourge of building slaves and rogues. The treasury of the emperor and the imperial court is getting more and more empty, but the pockets of these Donglin party people are getting more and more bulging.

Before the return of Jianwen ancestor Zhu Yunwen, Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was already busy with state affairs, and in the more than ten years since he ascended the throne, he has changed many chiefs and assistants, and beheaded many generals in the army, but he is still making up for state affairs, and he still can't recover the declining national situation.

Fortunately, now that Daming has the return of the ancestor, the most difficult days have finally passed. The 3,000 guards, who had just been trained for less than a month, were able to defeat the 40,000 Jiannu army by relying on the advanced weapons brought by the ancestor. This shows that as long as the prince's Beijing camp becomes an army, the disaster of building slaves and thieves will no longer be a good harm to the Ming Dynasty.

"Great, this is really good, for so many years, the Ming Dynasty has never had such fruitful results, I want to go to the Taimiao, I want to comfort the ancestors......"

As soon as he said it, Chongzhen felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he couldn't remember what was wrong, until he saw Zhu Yunwen looking at him with a smile, Chongzhen suddenly came back to his senses, isn't there a living ancestor standing here, or an ancestor who has become an immortal.

Chongzhen smiled embarrassedly, rubbing his palms without a trace of the emperor's majesty. Azig and the others who were kneeling on the ground, but they were despising Chongzhen in their hearts, this is still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if it weren't for the return of Jianwen Ancestor, such a Ming Dynasty would sooner or later be taken away by the warriors of Jianzhou.

……

Outside the city of Jinzhou, the slave camp was built.

Huang Taiji was furious, and angrily kicked over the desk in the tent. Just now, several white-toothed elite soldiers with blood-stained armor stumbled into the big tent and told Huang Taiji a bad news.

Three days ago, the 30,000 troops attacking Tashan and Xingshan, except for these few people, the whole army was either destroyed or captured. Before the war, the shouts of the Ming army revealed that the troops of Azig, the king of Wuying County, who besieged Songshan, had been wiped out as early as seven days ago, and no one escaped.

This shocking bad news immediately made Huang Taiji vomit blood and faint, and as soon as he woke up, he couldn't stop his thunderous anger. If the news of these white-toothed elite soldiers who fled from Tashan Xingshan is true, then it means that there has been a major mistake in the strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements.

And this mistake was serious enough to shake the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Jianzhou Manchu Qing is sparsely populated, and it is located in a cold place outside the Guan, and there is a serious shortage of materials. If this news is true, it means that the battle of the Jianzhou Manchu Qing has lost 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and for the Jianzhou Manchu Qing, this is a painful pain that can no longer be painful.

Moreover, if the news is true, then what Huang Taiji is thinking about now is not how to besiege the city and send reinforcements, how to break through Jinzhou, but how to escape back to Shenyang as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be confirmed as soon as possible, otherwise, if you can eat the 40,000 army of King Wuying, and if you can eat the 30,000 army besieging Xingshan Tashan, you can eat our 50,000 army besieging Jinzhou. Moreover, we must now beware of this Ming army, which has eaten 70,000 troops of our Qing Dynasty, suddenly appears in Jinzhou, in that case, I am afraid that it will ......."

Huang Taiji's think tank, Han Fan Wenchen said anxiously. As a Han Chinese, Fan Wenchen's life in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not as noble as others imagined. If it weren't for Huang Taiji's attention, he would be just a dog in the eyes of the Manchurians.

Duoduo glanced at Fan Wenchen in disgust, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, what combat power can the Ming army have?" It's simply not possible. If you want me to say, this might be ......"

"Shut up!" Dolgon glared at Duoduo, pulled Duoduo behind him, turned to Huang Taiji and said, "Your Majesty, I have sent three scouts to Songshan Tashan to inquire about the news, I believe that soon, the scouts will come back with news of the war over there." However, what is the combat power of the Ming army, I believe everyone knows it.

If the Ming army can really eat these 70,000 troops, calculated by the combat power of the Ming army, then they must have 700,000 troops out of the pass. But until now, we have not received any information about the Ming army's exit from the customs. You must know that 700,000, even if the Ming army only has 500,000 troops out of the customs, that movement cannot be so small that even our scouts and those Jin merchants in Shanxi can't detect it.

Moreover, the news from Fan Yongdou earlier that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was in trouble with the ministers, and it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty emperor to send troops out of the customs at this time, and he had no soldiers to send. Because the three battalions of the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty had been disbanded by their crown prince, where did they come from the army to Songshan Jinzhou? ”

Huang Taiji listened to the heart moved, not long ago Jin merchant Fan Yongdou did send the Ming Dynasty in the capital, at that time he was still laughing, and said that this is God bless the Qing Dynasty, so that the Qing Dynasty can enjoy all the land outside the Daming Mountain Pass.

Fan Wencheng's face was full of urgency, the battle situation in Songshan, Tashan and Xingshan was unknown, and the white-toothed elite soldiers who fled back could indeed see that they had experienced a harsh war, and they could not see that they were suspected of fraud. Moreover, the panic and frightening look on the faces of the white-fanged elite soldiers who fled back was not disguised at all.

Fan Wencheng saw that Dolgon and the others had not mentioned the gunpowder and continuous artillery that had rained out ammunition and the artillery mentioned by the White Fang Elite soldiers, and he didn't care if he would interrupt the Huang Taiji who was thinking about it, so he said anxiously:

"Your Majesty, those white-toothed elite soldiers have mentioned that this Ming army has extremely advanced firearms, there is no need to ignite the fire rope at all, it can continuously fire ammunition, and there is an extremely fast attack artillery, which is the main reason for the failure of the siege of Tashan Xingshan army.

The emperor, Weichen thought that this Ming army did not have hundreds of thousands, maybe only thirty or twenty thousand, they may have broken into pieces and left the customs, or they may have traveled day and night, avoiding the scouts. First, he joined forces with the defenders of Songshan Castle and annihilated the 40,000 army of King Wuying, and then attacked Tashan Xingshan with the Songshan army, defeating the 30,000 army besieging Tashan Xingshan.

You must know that the defenders of the Ming army in Songshan at this time were Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, and his subordinates, as well as the general Yang Guozhu, Wang Tingchen, Ma Ke and several other generals. With advanced firearms, coupled with their troops, it is entirely possible to relieve the siege of Tashan Xingshan after defeating the king of Wuyingjun. ”

Huang Taiji was stunned, and Dolgon was also stunned, yes, they forgot that the white-toothed elite soldiers who fled back had mentioned that the Ming army used very terrifying advanced firearms, advanced artillery that can make people fall into hell!

In this way, the Ming army does not need too many troops to go out of the customs at all, maybe twenty or thirty thousand......
