Chapter 225: The Qing army exits the customs

"Hetuala, what is that place?"

Emperor Chongzhen asked with a puzzled face, and Wang Chengen immediately explained respectfully:

"Back to the emperor, this Hetu Allah~, is the name of Jiannu, and they are also called Naxingjing."

"During the Wanli Dynasty, the old slave chieftain stole and occupied the three guards of Jianzhou, and wanted to establish a country against this dynasty, so he chose a good site to ram earth to build a city. The emperor also knew that the place where the Jiannu used to live was very dilapidated and there was nothing, and it was not easy to have such a decent city, can you not value it. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, it was the first time he heard the name Hetuala, it turned out to be the place where Jianzhou Wei was, and suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"Wang Zheng led the Dengzhou battalion to Jianzhou Wei, and it had to pass through most of Liaodong along the way, did the Dengzhou battalion suffer heavy casualties?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly kicked the little eunuch who sent the message, and the little eunuch reacted and hurriedly said:

"Back to the emperor, according to the people who came to the Dengzhou battalion to offer the heads of Jiannu and the prisoners, the Dengzhou battalion suffered very heavy casualties this time, and it was said that nearly 3,000 soldiers would die in Liaodong."

"Oh." Chongzhen nodded, got up and said to the ministers in the hall:

"Look at it, on weekdays, I don't talk about those big truths, learn from Wang Zheng, and directly take the Dengzhou camp to copy the old nest of Jiannu, behead three thousand, how many years has there been such a great victory in this dynasty."

Speaking of this, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen:

"Cheng Enyi, tomorrow I will send Jinyi Wei to check and see if it is the real head of Jiannu."

"Yes."

......

On this day, the court discussion rose and fell too quickly, Gaoyang fell, and the whole family of Sun Chengzong, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, died in battle, which can be said to be the most nerve-wracking event since the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the Dengzhou battalion's surprise attack on Hetuara was an unprecedented victory.

Including Chongzhen, many ministers of the ministry have not yet reacted, and these two news have not come too suddenly for the court that has always been inefficient.

Since the 20 th November, the discussions between Japan and the DPRK have always been inseparable from the discussion of this topic, but after all, no one has been able to come up with a charter.

Wang Zheng has made such miraculous achievements, and it is inevitable that he will be rewarded, but what position will he be promoted?

It stands to reason that Wang Zheng is already the deputy chief soldier of Denglai, and it is okay to make such a great contribution even if he directly achieves the general army of Shandong, but the problem is that Wang Zheng is still too young.

It has only been two years since Chongzhen first heard the name Wang Zheng, but Wang Zheng has made great contributions several times in a row and has been promoted several times in a row.

If the disposal is unfair, it will make the hearts of the soldiers in the world cold is only one aspect, and the bigger reason is that Chongzhen is afraid of bearing a bad reputation.

In fact, Chongzhen's hesitation these days is where to give Wang Zheng, directly to the Shandong General Army, the world's soldiers have nothing to say, but the officials of the six departments should not make trouble to the sky, and the cabinet will not necessarily be smooth and devoted.

To put it bluntly, Wang Zheng's credit has arrived, but his qualifications are not yet, so this matter was put on hold until the twelfth year of Chongzhen.

In the last few months of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, at first glance, the newspapers from all over the country were still generally developing in a good direction.

First of all, the rebellion among the people in Yungui that lasted for more than ten years finally improved, and most of the bandits and thieves surrendered to the imperial court.

Having said that, for the sake of this improvement, the imperial court did not know how much food and materials it threw into it, and how many governors and governors were exchanged back and forth.

The Qing army's entry into the prison may be because Wang Zheng made such a fuss in the back, and Huang Taiji suffered successive blows, vomited several liters of blood, and was in a coma for several days.

At first, the rest of the princes and ministers of Baylor followed the order and did not dare to notify the front, but they never woke up, which was the panic, and the Prince of Zheng who stayed in Shengjing, Jierharang, and several concubines combined, or called back Prince Rui Dolgon and Heshuo Belle Yue.

In case the emperor is so angry, he has to make plans for the future in advance.

Yue Zhen had just defeated Lu Xiangsheng's Qin Wang Army at that time, in fact, he didn't know that he was killing the world-famous Lu Xiangsheng, except for some surprise in his heart, the Ming army would actually take the initiative to come up to find death, nothing else had changed.

Yue Zhen was preparing to continue to plunder in the south, and suddenly bad news came from Shengjing, Xingjing was destroyed, and even Huang Taiji was in a coma for a few days and has not woken up.

Yue Zhi was not Dolgon, so he panicked immediately, and led the Qing army under his command to roll up the plundered hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and people along the Qingshan Pass and ran back non-stop.

When Dolgon heard the news, it was December, and because the news was relatively late, he was still eager to prepare to chase down Liu Zeqing's Shandong soldiers with a white flag, and he almost didn't fall off his horse when he heard the news.

The first reaction was that the big thing was not good, because he was in a hurry, Dolgon took a dozen Bayala guards with white flags and rushed back to Shengjing directly from the mouth of Tianjin to meet Jierharang.

Unlike history, this entrance was supposed to last until March of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, but the Qing army basically withdrew in December of the eleventh year of Chongzhen.

In addition, Hong Chengchou and others' "ten-sided nets" and other schemes achieved remarkable results, although Li Zicheng did not catch them, but Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, Guo Tianxing, Chao Tianxing and other large peasant armies all surrendered to the imperial court.

At the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, all parts of the Ming Dynasty calmed down all of a sudden, but this calm did not make Wang Zheng feel stable, but there was a sense of oppression that Mount Tai was above his head.

For the ministers of the imperial court, this is another scene of "peace in the world".

Since the places were too peaceful, the six ministries and the major yamen of the Beijing Division had their hands free to sort out the losses of Jiannu in advance in the past few months.

Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to thoroughly investigate the relevant civil and military officials, especially the three sides of Beizhili, Shandong, and Shaanxi, which are the places where Jiannu came and went the most.

It was not until February of the twelfth year of Chongzhen that the results of this inventory were reported one after another from all over the country, and in less than three months after Jiannu entered the prison, two governor-level officers were killed in battle, and eight military attachés at the commander-level were also killed.

Wherever the Qing soldiers passed, all the villages and forts were taken captive, and the fertile Beizhili suddenly reverted to the situation of ten rooms and nine empty in the early Ming Dynasty.

Wang Zheng also kept shaking his head and sighing after learning the news in the Di newspaper, and when it came to destruction, Tatar said that no one dared to fight for the first place.

Yang Sichang, a bachelor who entered the cabinet and assisted the government, invited himself to inspect the soldiers and horses of Beizhili, and originally wanted to take a credit, but he regretted it when he wanted to check it.

Who can believe that the soldiers and horses on the three sides of Beizhili and even Shanxi have not won a single victory in the past three months, and there are a lot of big defeats and small defeats without checking.

Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, perhaps because of Chongzhen's repeated urging, or perhaps because he believed too much in Gao Qiqian, finally couldn't withstand the pressure from all sides, and led the Qin Wang's army to a decisive battle with the Qing army under Yue Zhi's department in mid-November.

The prison army Gao Qiqian sat on the tens of thousands of border troops in Guanning, and when he heard the news of the fight, he was so frightened that he took a few little eunuchs and ran away, but finally fled back to Beijing alone.

The result of this was that Lu Xiangsheng fought without help, died in Julu, and the Shunde Tianxiong Army, which was threatening for a while, was completely annihilated, and even the tens of thousands of elite Guanning border troops were not saved, and the pieces of armor that were killed by Yue Tuo, who retreated to Liaodong, with Qing soldiers, were not left.

Gao Qiqian won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, and many eunuchs in the interior, except for Wang Chengen, Cao Huachun, and Wang Dehua, were the most weighty in his words, otherwise they would not have supervised the Beijing camp.

Yang Sichang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was in charge of the investigation, he and Gao Qiqian had always been good friends, and the two of them quietly went to the Bird Green Building to drink to change their meaning, and it happened that Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng had a personal grudge, so they simply put the responsibility on Lu Xiangsheng.

Gao Qiqian was beaten upside down, crying profusely, saying that Lu Xiangsheng was greedy and reckless and refused to listen to his loyal words, so there was such a big defeat.

Although what he said was impressive, both the people and the sergeants under Lu Xiangsheng knew that this was nonsense, Lu Xiangsheng had always acted prudently, not greedy for fame, and even sent troops to a decisive battle was ordered by the emperor several times, and he couldn't resist the pressure before deciding.

This kind of, I am afraid that only Emperor Chongzhen, who has great trust in the eunuchs, can believe it, not only did not give Lu Xiangsheng a shrine name, but even suspected that Lu Xiangsheng was not dead, and sent Jinyi Wei to check whether he had escaped from the battle.

It is said that when the news came out, the military and civilian people of the three prefectures of Shunde, especially the three prefectures of Shunde, which Lu Xiangsheng had personally rectified, all cried loudly.
