At the cost of 500 dead soldiers and a tiger general, he successfully broke the Ming army's baggage camp and destroyed the Ming army's firearms depot and granary, which made Dolgon's heart happy! When the surviving daredevils sneaked back to the camp, Dolgon immediately held a reward ceremony in the whole army, first, to commend the daredevils' great military exploits, and secondly, to use this ceremony to boost morale and prepare for the next stage of siege!

In order to highlight the achievements of the death squad, the ceremony was held very grandly, which really made the living envious, and it was almost tragic that life was worse than death!

The dead daredevils were awarded the Order of Warrior and a generous pension from the Grand Prairie Eagle, while the general who led the team was given the royal treatment of three generations of hereditary dukes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although there are less than ten living daredevils, they have become a model for the whole army, and they have been awarded the Order of the First Class Prairie Eagle Warrior, promoted to one level in their original position, and awarded a gold medal for avoiding death for a period of one year! It means that if these people do not die in battle, they will eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, smoke, kill, set fire and fight within this year, and the court will not be able to execute them! Of course, it is necessary to grasp it, otherwise there is still heavenly reason? It is not yet known whether he will be killed again after a year. So, while this reward sounds tempting, it's also daunting!

Dolgon personally presided over the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, not only to pay tribute to the children of the Eight Banners who died in battle, but also to swear the oath of the real decisive battle!

The Qing army brazenly put on a ceremony in the Ming Imperial City, which made Chongzhen and those Ming soldiers indignant, but there was nothing to be done.

Zhu Qing is relatively calm, in Dolgon's view, this is a great morale boosting oath meeting, but in Zhu Qing's opinion, it is a proud army that will be defeated!

"Brother Shiqian!" Looking at the Qing army outside the city gate from a distance drinking celebratory wine, Zhu Qing suddenly shouted to his side.

"General?" Race time to respond.

"Dolgon, who is the oath, may also be trying to paralyze us, but in any case, we can't be careless." Zhu Qing took the clairvoyance and admonished.

"Understood, I have already ordered the soldiers to concentrate and be ready to face the battle at any time!" Sai Shi Qian responded.

Zhu Qing nodded after hearing this, "Very good." There's one more thing I'd like you to help with, though. ”

During the game, he was hesitant for a moment, and said with a sad face, "I am responsible for the front and back doors, so I'm afraid I can't separate them." ”

"Don't worry, this matter really has to be yours, I'll arrange other matters in the city for you!" Zhu Qing smiled slightly.

Sai Shiqian nodded, "I'm relieved to have the general's words, what's the matter?" "During the game, he hugged his fists and asked for his life.

Zhu Qing glanced around, whispered a few words in the ear attached to the game, and after the game listened, he nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.

"How? Are you sure? After the instructions, Zhu Qing asked.

Sai Shiqian hugged his fists and smiled, "Don't worry, general, Shi Qian will complete the task!" ”

Zhu Qing nodded, patted Sai Shiqian's shoulder, and said with relief, "Be careful." ”

Sai Shiqian bowed again, "Don't worry, I'll go!" With that, he took advantage of the chaos to slide down the city gate and sneak towards the Qing camp!

Not long after moving out during the game, a person suddenly came to report something to Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing heard it, patted the railing, and his face was overjoyed!

"The sky will not extinguish!" Zhu Qing couldn't help but say.

Zhu Qing returned to the inner hall, and he wanted to report this new information to Chongzhen and several generals in the inner hall. But before he entered the door, a eunuch was one step ahead of him and muttered something in Chongzhen's ear, and left after speaking.

"What? Got new information? Seeing Zhu Qing enter the door, Killing Feng asked.

Zhu Qing nodded, and bowed to the seniors present, "Just now Jinyi Wei came to report that our reinforcements have arrived outside the city, and they are waiting for our orders at any time!" ”

"Great, as soon as reinforcements arrive, we can join forces inside and outside to flank Dolgon!" When Killing Feng and the others heard this, they were all excited.

Chongzhen was different, he said coldly, "Oh? Do we still have reinforcements? How come I don't know? ”

This sentence came out of Chongzhen's mouth, which was very meaningful, and when everyone heard it, they immediately fell silent. To be honest, the reinforcements outside the door really don't mean that the situation is too complicated. Among the Ming troops who came back from the direction of Shanhaiguan were Cao Huachun and Tie Mian, who Chongzhen once wanted them to die; Among the Ming troops who came to the aid from the direction of Kaifeng in the west, Li Zicheng, who was once Chongzhen's biggest rival, although he had been recruited, but later he absconded with his troops in Shanhaiguan, which made Chongzhen very uneasy; In addition to the Vermilion Bird Gate, which was relatively clean in the south and north, Heisha was the prince of Longxuan in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and half of the soldiers who followed them north were members of the White Lotus Sect, and the imperial court has been suppressing the White Lotus Sect, and Zhu Qing has not yet made it clear to Chongzhen about the friendship between Jinyiwei and the White Lotus Sect! What's even more serious is that the White Lotus Sect that went north later numbered more than 50,000 people, and it was personally led by Xu Hongfei, the sect leader. These so-called reinforcements don't look like they're here to support Chongzhen, but to settle accounts, right?!

Of course, Chongzhen knew a little about these situations, and more of them were just suspicions, but now, his suspicion has been strongly attacked. It is no wonder that whoever it is, absolutely cannot believe it, let alone rest assured that these enemies who once shared the sky with themselves will return to Beijing.

"What? No one can answer my question? Chongzhen sneered and looked at Zhu Qing, "Qinglong, if I hadn't guessed wrong, you would have sent someone to contact the reinforcements, right?" ”

As soon as Zhu Qing heard this, he understood that his plan to move with the race just now was discovered by Chongzhen's ears and eyes! Now, Chongzhen's suspicion is committed again!

Zhu Qing looked at this ambitious but narrow-minded man, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Since the emperor already knows, then I will answer the emperor's question in the future." Zhu Qing's words finally broke the silence and embarrassment of the whole hall, after all, Chongzhen's question was not an easy question to answer.

"Qinglong?" Killing Feng still reminded him, he was worried that Zhu Qing's answer would cause Chongzhen's displeasure, such a discord between the monarch and the minister, it would really be cheap for Dolgon outside the city!

Zhu Qingchao Killing Feng and Liu Qingfeng and the others smiled and signaled, and then said forward, "Your Majesty, the news of reinforcements is indeed that the last general has been in contact, but this time there are two main ways of the army, one is the Kaifeng Army in the west, led by the Kaifeng guard Liangshan, and the other is the southward migration guard in the south plus part of the army in the south of the Yangtze River, mainly led by General Suzaku. The combined forces of these two roads exceeded 150,000 people, which was enough for Dolgon, who was celebrating, to be careful, I don't know if the emperor was relieved of such an arrangement? ”

Zhu Qing made a truthful statement in the first half, and it is true that although many of the reinforcements this time are Chongzhen's sworn enemies, the military power of the two armies is mainly in the hands of the Ming generals, and Liangshan and Suzaku are absolutely loyal! However, in order to give Chongzhen a certain warning and pressure, Zhu Qing couldn't let Chongzhen be suspicious, after all, at such a critical juncture, the emperor's suspicion was fatal! The second half of Zhu Qing not only pointed out the pain point in Chongzhen's heart that Dolgon held a celebration banquet at the door of his home, but also warned Chongzhen not to be suspicious! Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, the emperor is not at ease, this battle can't be fought, you better go back to the coal mountain and hang the tree!

As soon as Zhu Qing said this, the generals present really sweated for him, and anyone who could sit in this hall could understand Zhu Qing's words. Not to mention Chongzhen, who is the most speculative of people's hearts.

When he heard this, he was relieved at first, and then he had to worry. Rest assured, because the initiative of the reinforcements is still in their own hands, and the two generals, Liangshan and Suzaku, can be trusted! And what he was worried about was that if Zhu Qing was forced to be anxious, something would really happen!

"Oh, I see, I almost listened to the slander, I blamed Aiqing, I have Qinglong to share my worries, why not worry?! I have all the good generals, and the Ming can be guaranteed! After Chongzhen heard this, he hurriedly rounded the field by himself, Zhu Qing's words just now were already the best steps, at this time, did Chongzhen still want to go down the steps in a lower voice? It's not that you don't respect you, but you can't faint anymore!

When Killing Feng and the others heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, they all understood people, Zhu Qing's words had already made the emperor soft, but he couldn't make the emperor too embarrassed, so under the leadership of Killing Feng, all the generals in the hall shouted in unison, "The last general swears allegiance to the emperor and defends the Ming Dynasty!" ”、

When Chongzhen heard this, he was excited, "Generals are exempt!" With the help of all the generals, I will definitely kill the barbarian enemy and revive the Ming Dynasty! ”

A monarch crisis was resolved on the scene, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief!

After digging out your heart and lungs, to resolve the crisis, it's time to talk about business. A plan to flank the Qing army before and after took shape under the planning of Zhu Qing and Kill Feng and others! Now, all they have to do is wait, wait for Dorgon to attack again, defend in attack, and then crush the final power of the enemy.

However, this plan was soon changed by a piece of intelligence.

After coming out of the inner hall, Kill Feng and Liu Qingfeng still found Zhu Qing alone and chatted. First, I did ideological work first, and strongly persuaded Zhu Qing not to take the opportunity to rebel, because the Zhu family was also ordered by Chongzhen to be beheaded all over the house, although the mastermind was Wei Zhongxian, but without Chongzhen's acquiescence, Wei Zhongxian would not have been able to wantonly destroy the generals of the court. Killing Feng and Liu Qingfeng were both witnesses back then, and they had to worry about Zhu Qing's psychological fluctuations at this time.

Zhu Qing smiled bitterly, "I don't want to mention the Zhu family's affairs anymore." But please believe me to be a Ming man first, and then Zhu Qing. "Although Zhu Qing has never experienced the catastrophe of the Zhu family, he can feel the original pain of the eldest son of the Zhu family!

"That's good." Killing Feng nodded and said, "By the way, did you send Brother Shi Qian out?" Killing Wind asked.

Zhu Qing knew that there were many things that he couldn't hide from his master, so he nodded and said, "But it's not to connect with reinforcements, he has another mission." ”

Killing Feng glanced at Liu Qingfeng, and the two nodded.

"Since you have your own plans, the master believes in you. If you can't figure it out, you can talk to us. "Killing Feng and Liu Qingfeng also know Zhu Qing's temper very well, he has his own reason and method for doing things, they don't plan to dig into the problem, because today Chongzhen has given his psychological bottom line a hard impact, and a strong person can't withstand repeated blows.

Zhu Qing nodded, hugged his fists at the two masters, and then returned to the city gate to supervise the battle.
