After reading the holy decree, when the three of them stood up, Wu Fu said with a smile: "The three of them are all my great talents, and they have been simplified in the emperor's heart, as long as they are loyal to state affairs in the future, they will have a great future."

"Master Xie Ji Yan. We will definitely live up to God's grace and serve the country with all our hearts. Fan Jin said with a smile. The official was promoted to two levels, and he went to SD Dezhou, which was far away from Beijing, to be the prefect, and he was very satisfied.

"The lower officials must guard Tongzhou for Your Majesty." Li Xian also happily expressed his loyalty. The official was promoted to two levels and went to Tongzhou, the big warehouse of the Beijing Division, to be a commander, which really made him overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that such a fat shortage would fall on him.

Zhao Guohua thought that he had suddenly changed from an ordinary person to a five-rank admiral of the Ming Dynasty, and he was still a martial arts general, and the Ji'an Volunteer Brigade had also become the Ming Loyal and Brave Brigade, so he was also very satisfied, and said: "This Chongzhen will also do things worthy of Lao Tzu's hard work for him." ”

Looking at the happy faces of the three of them, Wu Fu smiled faintly and said, "Three adults, the official's task has been completed, and he is going back to Beijing." After that, he said goodbye to the three of them.

"Lord Wu, state affairs are busy, I don't know when the next time we meet, you might as well stay here for a few more days, and we will have a good time." Zhao Guohua said.

"That's it! It is! Fan Jin and Li Xian also enthusiastically retained.

Looking at the three of them, Wu Fu groaned for a while, and nodded with a smile in agreement

After staying in Zhuozhou for another three days, Wu Fu said goodbye to the three of them and returned to Beijing to restore the holy decree.

After Wu Fu left, Zhao Guohua also said goodbye to Fan Jin and Li Xian, led the team out of the city, bid farewell to the people who were farewell, and went to his hometown.

Fan Jin and Li Xian had to wait for the officials to go through the handover procedures, so they could only wait here temporarily.

Looking at the neat queue and high morale of the loyal and brave corps, Fan Jin said: "At this time of internal strife and external worries, with this strong army in hand, Zhao Guohua has a bright future. ”

"yes." Li Xian nodded in agreement.

After leaving fifty miles, I saw Niu Huan and others leading five hundred cavalry to wait in a small forest on the side of the road, immediately carrying more than a dozen boxes, which were the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings seized from Yanguli, hidden in the small village that was burned by the Tartars, and now the team is going back to their hometown, so they naturally want to get it back.

"General, it's all here." Niu Huan said, patting the boxes.

Nodding, Zhao Guohua said: "Keep it, and when you pass through the big city, exchange all the gold and silver for silver tickets." ”

The reason why he wanted to exchange gold and silver for silver tickets was to not attract attention, after all, these seizures, he did not hand them over to the imperial court at all, if they were seen by someone with a heart, it would affect the future development of the loyal and brave corps.

Sandwiched between these things, the Loyal Brigade moved on.

On the city of Jinzhou in eastern Liaodong, a senior general of the Ming army in his forties, with a strong figure and wearing a second-grade general uniform, was looking at the Qing army withdrawing from the city, with a flat face, and several generals standing beside him.

He is the Ming Dynasty Liaodong General Soldier Zu Dashou, Zu Dashou, the word Fuyu, a native of Ningyuan (now LN Xingcheng) in Liaodong in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and the uncle of Wu Sangui. At the beginning of the Ming Jingdongying guerrilla, at the beginning of the apocalypse, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, thought that the Chinese army was a guerrilla. In 1628 (the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty), Zu Dashou was promoted to the chief officer of the forward army because of the "Ningyuan Great Victory" won by Shouning Yuan, and was stationed in Jinzhou.

Later, Zu Dashou followed Yuan Chonghuan into the customs to defend the Beijing Division. After Chongzhen sent Yuan Chonghuan to prison for various reasons. Zu Dashou was afraid of being implicated, so he destroyed the gate of Shanhaiguan and escaped. Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter to appease, and Zu Dashou returned to the Ming Dynasty.

In 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), in the battle of the Daling River, Zu Dashou was exhausted, so he surrendered by fraud and fled to Jinzhou City to fight against the Qing army. He was promoted to the governor of Shaofu Zuo, led Jinzhou, and the Qing court repeatedly surrendered.

In 1641 (the fourteenth year of Chongzhen), in the Songjin War that began in the third month of the lunar calendar, due to the defeat of the reinforcement Hong Chengchou, Jinzhou was completely hopeless, so Zu Dashou led his troops to surrender. After entering the customs with the Qing army, in 1656 (the thirteenth year of Shunzhi), he died of illness in BJ's father, and the Tartars did not get much benefit, why did they withdraw their troops? Zu Dashou's second son, Zu Zepu, asked puzzled.

Zu Dashou didn't answer, turned around and asked Zu Dabi: "Second brother, what do you think is the reason for the withdrawal of the Tartars?" ”

"How do I know this? I only know how to kill tartars with pleasure. Zu Dabi Weng said angrily.

Zu Dabi, the younger brother of Zu Dashou. The limbs are thick and strong, he is extremely brave in battle, likes to shout and shout, and is nicknamed "Zu Er Madman", and once rode alone to fight the Qing army. After the defeat of the Ming army in the Battle of Songjin, he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Zu Dashou.

Shaking his head and smiling, Zu Dashou and his nephew Wu Sangui said, "Sangui, what do you think?" ”

Wu Sangui, the word Changbo, a native of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, his ancestral home is Jiangnan Gaoyou (now JS Gaoyou), the son of Wu Xiang, the general soldier of Jinzhou, and the nephew of Zu Dashou. A famous political and military figure in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, opened the martial arts department, and Wu Sangui won the martial arts department. Soon, he was commanded by his father's shadow. In the later period of Chongzhen, he was the general soldier of Liaodong, sealing Xibo and guarding Shanhaiguan.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, defeated Li Zicheng in the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and was crowned the king of Pingxi. In the first year of Kangxi (1662), Wu Sangui killed Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty in Kunming. In the same year, Jin was named the Prince of Pingxi, and was called the Three Domains together with Geng Jingzhong, King of FJ Jingnan, and Shang Kexi, King of GD Pingnan. In the twelfth year of Kangxi (1673), he ordered the withdrawal of the feudal domain. Wu Sangui proclaimed himself the king of Zhou, the generalissimo of the world's water and land, and the general of Xingming's capture, and issued a proclamation, which was known as the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" in history.

In the seventeenth year of Kangxi (1678), Wu Sangui ascended the throne as the emperor in Hengzhou (now HY City), with the country name of Da Zhou and the capital Hengyang. Jianyuan Zhaowu died of illness in Hengyang in the autumn of the same year. Posthumously for the Kaitian Dadao colleague Jiyuntong Wenshen Wugao Emperor. His grandson Wu Shifan supported him for three years before the Qing army broke through Kunming, and the rebellion of the three feudatories ended.

"According to my speculation, it should be that the task of containing us has been completed, so the troops have been withdrawn." Wu Sangui said slowly.

Hearing this, Zu Dashou nodded secretly, he also saw this, and he said in his heart: "This son has this vision, and he should have some achievements in the future." Thinking of this, he said, "Tell me about your basis." ”

Glancing at the two uncles, Wu Sangui said: "The army of the Tartars is led by the Prince of Rui Dolgon, the Prince of Yu Duoduo, Dorobelle Yuetuo, Hauge and other four people, leading 40,000 troops to attack our Ningjin defense line, which is obviously not enough, but why do they still have these four people in command to mobilize the army, just because these four people are very famous in the Tartars, and the purpose of these four people is to coerce us, so that our Liaodong Army does not dare to send troops to support in Guannai, so as to facilitate the strategy of the Azigna army in Gyeonggi. Moreover, the main thing is that for more than a month, the Tartar siege action has not been fierce, and it is basically retreating with one blow, which is completely a feint. ”

"Sangui is right." Zu Dashou praised with a smile.

"Big brother, since that's the case, why don't I rush out and kill it for a while, and cut off a few Tartars' heads to have fun." Zu Dabi said eagerly.

"Nonsense." Zu Dashou scolded and glared at him.

looked around and saw that no outsiders were present, Zu Dashou said: "You go out to kill the Tartars, what if you fall into the Tartars' ambush?" Do I save or not? If you save it, we can't win the Tartars in the field, and we will suffer a big loss when we go out, if we don't save you, you are my brother again, do you see you being killed by the Tartars? "Besides, no

"Big brother, it's the younger brother who is wrong." Zu Dabi bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Zu Dashou waved his hand and said, "That's it, you have to use your brains more in the future, don't just fight and kill." Our ancestors' current status is not just by fighting and killing. Then he went into the castle tower to rest.

Prince Rui Dolgon and Prince Yu Duoduo led their troops for more than 20 miles, looked back at Jinzhou City, which was invisible in the distance, and said with appreciation: "This ancestor has been guarding the city for two times, no wonder His Majesty has always wanted to recruit him." ”

More than a month ago, he, Duoduo, Yue Tuo, and Haoge were ordered by Huang Taiji to lead troops to the front line of Jinzhou Shanhaiguan to contain the Ming army in Liaodong and respond to the military operations in the Azig Pass.

In order to better complete the containment task, Dolgon also planned to lure Zu Dashou out of Jinzhou to eliminate him, but no matter what he did, Zu Dashou was not fooled, and it was not easy to attack the city, there was no way, he and Duoduo and the others could only stare outside the city.

"This person is too hateful, Ning Yuancheng injured his grandfather, and Da Linghe surrendered again, I caught him, and I flayed him alive." Hauge said with a snort.

Glancing at him, Duoduo said lukewarmly: "This matter, let's talk about it when we catch Zu Dashou." ”

Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and Dolgon is the threat of Hauge's succession and change, so Hauge and Dolgon do not have a good relationship, and Dordor is the younger brother of Dolgon, and the two have a close relationship and love the house and Wu, so he is not very friendly to Hauge.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Yue Tuo hurriedly interjected: "Let's go quickly, let's go quickly, maybe we can catch up to meet the king of Azig, I think they must be fully loaded this time." ”

Yue Tuo is the grandson of Nurhachi and the eldest son of Prince Li Daishan.

After listening to Yue Tuo's words, the three of them glanced at each other, and Hauge urged his horse to step forward and continue the march.

On August 20, the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army began to withdraw from Miyun, and Azig led the army to Lengkou to return east.

Hearing that the Qing army had indeed withdrawn, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, was ecstatic.

He led the army of King Qin to more than 100,000 people, and he retreated in Gyeonggi for a few months, but he didn't have the courage to fight a battle with the Tartars. But in the face of the powerful and fierce Houjin army, he really didn't have the courage to fight.

Now that the Tartars have withdrawn their troops, in order to show something, he hurriedly led the army to chase after him from behind, and Liang Tingdong, the governor of Xuanda, also waved his army north, and the two led an army of more than 100,000 to follow the Qing army, but they did not dare to attack, as if they were seeing them off.

When the army marched to Wuchong'an in Qian'an (now Wuchong'an Township in the north of Qian'an County, TS City), Tan Malai reported: "Lord Yushangshu, the Tartars are about to reach Lengkou Pass, do you want to continue the pursuit?" ”
