The news of the "cheap" python satin traded in Zhangjiakou spread like a tide in the Manchurian camp.

For a time, the morale of the Manchurian army was high, and the prestige of Abahai skyrocketed.

Ning Wan and I have become a stray dog that no one pays attention to, and Fan Wencheng has a faint tendency to replace Ning Wan's original position.

On the second day, the Manchurian army surprisingly did not continue its advance.

Ashdarhan, a henchman of the Manchurian Khan, returned from Azig. It was reported that the behavior of the Great Khan Azig in Zhangjiakou was abnormal.

When Abahai learned of this, he immediately ordered to stand on the spot.

The Manchurian army set up 30 camps 20 miles outside the Great Wall, and each camp was surrounded by deep ditches with a depth of 1 zhang and a width of 1 zhang.

At the same time, Abahai strictly enforced military discipline. Four Mongolian Taiji were punished by the Manchurian Khan for leaving the Daxu Banner without permission to walk on saddle horses, and each attendant whipped three nines and punished with ears. The army is like a great enemy, and the generals are speculating.

At noon, a reasonable explanation came out from the Abahai Tent: The soldiers of the Eight Banners made persistent efforts, displayed the might of our army, and forced the southern country to make peace in one fell swoop.

The Great Khan Abhai sent Ye Nu to lead the surrendered Mongols to Zhangjiakou to continue trade, and sent Ashdarhan, Longshi, Dayaqi Tabunang, and Weizhai Sang to Zhangjiakou to negotiate peace with the officials of the southern country.

At the same time, fifteen miles away from the Ming border wall, the Han army was ordered to carry artillery for the exercise.

……

The Xuanfu surveillance eunuch Wang Kun, the governor Shen Di, and the Xuanzhen chief soldier Dong Jishu gathered together and were at a loss.

Wang Kun kept asking: "Mr. Dong, is there any new news from the Ministry of War?" Dong Jishu replied: "Yes!"

"Say it quickly."

"Baoding General Liu Guozhu, Tongzhou General Yang Yufan, Jimen General Deng Xi, Changping General Chen Hongfan, Tianjin General Wang Hong were all trapped in Shandong. In May, the military department had already transferred 5,000 Guanning soldiers, including Jin Guoqi, Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan, Zhang Tao, Wu Xiang, and Wu Sangui, as well as Huang Long, the general soldier of Dongjiang, and Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of the volunteers, to encircle and suppress them from three sides. The Ministry of War demanded that we must hold Xuanzhen, and also asked us to hold back the Manchurian soldiers and prevent them from going to Jizhen. When the Shandong rebellion is quelled, the armies from all walks of life will come to reinforce and ask us to prepare the food and grass supplies of the guest armies from all walks of life! ”

Wang Kun said angrily: "Those wine bags and rice bags in the military department, then we must not wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse!" ”

Dong Jishu responded angrily: "Who let Shandong have an accident first!" We are now only

You can complain that Jiannu came too late! ”

Wang Kun turned to Shen Di for help, "Shen Junmen, you have been colleagues with Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Yuanhua in Liaodong, you tell us the truth, how powerful Jiannu is, can we hold Xuanzhen?" ”

Shen Di replied: "Let's just say that Zhang Chun led an army of 40,000 to rescue Daling River last winter." The 40,000 troops of the imperial court were equipped with more chariots and firearms, which were unprecedented, and when the battle was first engaged, Zhang Chun put out a chariot array, and the firearms on the chariots suppressed the Jiannu and retreated. ”

Unexpectedly, Jiannu lined up forty Hongyi cannons, and the earth-shattering bombardment. Wang Gonggong, please think about it, one Hongyi cannon can erode dozens of miles, and forty Hongyi cannons are fired together, which is like hell on earth. Among my 40,000 troops, there are only three Hongyi cannons, dare to ask how can I resist? ”

"Taking advantage of the erosion of my chariot, Jiannu armored soldiers charged, my 40,000 army won and lost, and finally collapsed, and in one day, Zhang Chun and other more than 30 generals were captured alive. Only the chief soldier Wu Xiang led dozens of people to escape by luck! ”

Shen Yan said: "The only one who can resist the construction of slaves is the Hongyi cannon." Hundreds of Hongyi cannons are lined up along the Great Wall, and I Xuanzhen should be worry-free. It's a pity, don't say that the Hongyi cannon, even the number of general cannons in my Xuanzhen is insufficient! Don't say that the general cannon, even gunpowder and lead, I can't supply it to Xuanzhen. Don't talk about gunpowder and lead, that is, the military salary has been suspended for three months. ”

Shen Di concluded: "Last year, there were forty Hongyi cannons in Jiannu, plus the three Hongyi cannons captured by Jiannu last year Zhang Chun, the two Hongyi cannons of Zu Dashou Dalinghe, plus the newly cast Hongyi cannons in Jiannu this year, please think, how many can there be in the Jiannu army this time?" How can I resist Xuanzhen? ”

Wang Kun, the eunuch of Xuanfu, and Dong Jishu, the chief soldier of Xuanzhen, all bowed their heads and remained silent.

……

In history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did dispatch Hongyi cannons in the Battle of the Daling River, but according to later research, the Manchus only had three guns at that time, and the rest were falsely claimed.

Obviously, Ming officials at the time were also happy to accept the claim that the Manchus had forty cannons. Because in this way, the defeat of Dalinghe can be attributed to "not our army not doing its best, but the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce." ”

In fact, at that time, Zhang Chun's reinforcements were equipped with a large number of chariots equipped with firearms. Needless to say, firearms chariots were the nemesis of the Manchu cavalry.

It's a pity that the literati at the end of the Ming Dynasty commanded the army, and these scholars who became scholars by familiarizing themselves with the books of sages and sages would not fight at all. Zhang Chun formed the chariots into a dense formation that looked powerful, and the low-level shells of the Hongyi cannon rushed over, and a single shell was a bloody alley.

Under this kind of inevitable defeat arrangement, the only mission of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty was to send them to death, so they could not blame Wu Xiang and other Liaodong veterans who fled from the battle.

Everything was caused by the system at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Commanding the army with literati was also a last resort in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor's first consideration was how to consolidate his throne, and under this logic, the rebellious Jiannu was just as dangerous as the self-respecting warlords.

A warlord like Mao Wenlong is even more dangerous than Jiannu! If Yuan Chonghuan doesn't kill Mao Wenlong, there will be Fang Chonghuan who kills Mao Wenlong, sooner or later. Thinking about the time when Mao Wenlong was killed, it was just when the Ming Dynasty's war against the Manchus had a respite, if this matter was not killed, when would it be!?

Do you think that the army of Liaodong was used to resist Jiannu?

Fart!

Do you think that the army in Liaodong is used to protect the people?

Fart! Dog stinky fart!

The army of Liaodong is to protect the throne of the old Zhu family!

Mao Wenlong's righteous son and grandson have no less than 2,000 people in Dongjiang Town, and Dongjiang Town only knows Mao Wenlong, and does not recognize me Emperor Daming, how different is it from Jiannu!

There is a way that:

Yuan Chonghuan entered the Dongjiang River alone, and he was really overbearing;

Nanju is easy to make money in Penghu with wine, and pretends to negotiate and outwitted the red-haired chief.

These two people are also the pillars of the Ming Dynasty.

……

The three giants of Xuanzhen were depressed, and they were struggling to support them in their hearts, and they only hoped that they would leave quickly after the Jiannu market.

Wang Bin, the deputy general of Xuanzhen, hurriedly came: "The three adults are not good, Dongdazi Yanbian City is camped for thirty miles, and the cannons are practicing under the city, and the sound of cannons is endless!" ”

Zhangjiakou Han Tongguan rushed in: "The three adults Dongdazi have to make inches, and they sent people to exchange markets while sending envoys to send a message, claiming that they did not make peace with Dongdazi, and Dongdazi immediately sent troops to attack the Great Wall. ”

Wang Kun was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

Dong Jishu picked up the helmet: "Damn, the left and right are dead, Lao Tzu is not alive today, he is simply gone." Herald Battalion, follow me to the wall! ”

Shen Di grabbed Dong Jishu: "Dong Zongbing, what's so hard about dying?" Is it possible to keep Xuanzhen after the death of the general soldier? Is it possible to save the people from misery after the death of the general soldier? ”

Dong Jishu shook off the governor's hand: "Shen Junmen, what's the matter?" I don't understand! All I can do now is my life! ”

Shen Di cried and shouted: "General, leave your life to deal with the aftermath!" If you want to give up, you will give up my life! ”

Dong Zongbing was stunned: "Junmen, what do you mean?" ”

Shen Di shook his robe, stood in the hall, straightened his black gauze hat, turned his head and asked the eunuch:

"Princess, what did the emperor say?"

Wang Kun sat on the ground and replied: "Do cheaply with the Xuanfu, stick to the side wall, and don't let Dongnu enter." Chin this. ”

Shen Di put his hands in his arms and let out a long breath:

"I'm going to negotiate peace with Jiannu, but I'm misinterpreting the holy will, and I'm going to bear it alone. The general and father-in-law must save their lives to save Xuanzhen. ”

Wang Kun's tears flowed all over the ground at that time.
