Baksh, who is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, is the wife and nephew of Abatai, this person is gentle and elegant, loves to read, loves to think, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Sun Tzu's Art of War are his preferences. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order to train himself, Bakshi asked to be a counselor of the army this time, and followed Abatai all the way to fight, and sure enough, he also came up with a few good ideas for him.

When attacking Dingxing, he encountered fierce resistance, and it was he who suggested using wheel warfare and non-stop attacks, which tired the defenders and finally attacked the city.

Looking at him, Abatai smiled and said: "Bakshi, your name means Confucian and scholar in Manchu, you really live up to this name, my uncle now has a difficult matter to discuss with you, I hope you can think of a good way to come out." ”

"What's so hard about it?" Baksh asked.

Abatai recounted the defeat of Yanguli and sent Dekzik to ask for help.

After listening to Abatai's narration, Bakshi was also taken aback, along the way, he was accustomed to hearing the invincibility of the Qing army, and he was invincible, and now the news of the defeat of the Qing army appeared coldly, which really made him difficult to accept.

After pondering for a while, Baksh asked, "What does Uncle mean by that?" Do you want to take troops to Zhuozhou, or wait for Prince Zheng here? ”

"I just couldn't make up my mind so I came to you to discuss, why did you ask me again?" Abatai said displeasedly.

Looking at Abatai, Baksh said, "I mean neither save nor save." ”

"Neither save nor save? How do you explain this? Abatai asked as he looked at Baksh in confusion.

Bakshi said: "At present, we are here, including the surrendered Ming army, the strength is only more than 22,000 people, more than 15,000 war horses, to be escorted back to the Qing Dynasty Ming Dynasty people 50,000 or 60,000, so many people and horses, the daily need of grain and grass is a huge expense, now we have gone to Weifang, and then turn back, it will cost more grain and grass, so I suggest send 3,000 iron cavalry to support Yanguli, escort them to join us, we wait for them while walking, after all, Yanguli is my Duke of the Qing Dynasty, It's not easy to make a mistake. That's what it means to save. ”

"So how do you explain not saving?" Abatai asked, touching his chin.

Glancing at Abatai, Baksh continued: "Judging from Dekzik's account, that militia is strong, has strange tactics, and has a burst of fire, and with the power of victory to defend the city, with our strength plus Yang Guliwan men and horses, a total of 30,000 horses, it is estimated that it is difficult to eat easily, the time drags on, once there is a problem with our army's grain and grass, then it will be troublesome, and when the time comes, so many Ming people who have been captured will have to give up." Our hard work during this period of time will be in vain, rather than this, it is better to withdraw our troops according to the order and keep the results in front of us. ”

"What about the militia in Zhuozhou City? Let it grow and develop, and it may be a trouble for me in the future. Abatai asked.

Looking at a few of the attachés in the big tent, Bakshnu snorted, Abatai waved his hand knowingly, and several of the attachés hurriedly went out in a hurry. Seeing that there was no one else in the big tent, Bakshi said: "Uncle, you don't know what Huang Taiji does to you, why do you bother with this idleness for him." Besides, he has already issued an order to withdraw his troops, if you don't listen to it, you will have violated the order and won the battle, and if you can't win, you have failed, so why should you ask for trouble. ”

After listening to Bakshi's words, Abatai thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "You are right, just do as you say, and send three thousand iron horsemen to protect Zilharang to join us." And when he had said that, he went out to give orders.

Soon, the 3,000 cavalry followed Dekzik, and then Abatai commanded the remaining 17,000 soldiers, driving the captured Ming Dynasty people 60,000 or 70,000 people, and continued to march towards TY County.

After returning to his hometown in YX County from Nanjing, Yang Rui happily handed the official letter of the PY county order to his father.

Taking over this thin piece of paper, Yang Degui carefully looked at the words "PY County Cheng Yang Rui" on it, and was very happy in his heart.

"My Yang family is out of office again. It's out again. Yang Degui said repeatedly

Steward Yang said excitedly: "Master, the young master has become an official, are we going to invite a big guest, spread the good news, and let those poor ghosts in Feng Village be angry, and let those self-righteous guys in the county see the young master's ability." Let them know that our Yang family is out of government again. ”

After listening to Steward Yang's words, Yang Degui twisted a few mouse whiskers under his chin, and said with a bright expression: "Yes." Jinyi does not travel at night, housekeeper, you quickly go to "Four Seas Restaurant" to pack a hundred tables of banquets, for two days, and then take people to post widely, five days later, invite all the people in the county to the banquet, I want everyone to know that my son is the PY county magistrate, and he is about to go to work. ”

"Great! Sir, don't worry. Steward Yang said excitedly.

Under the hype of Steward Yang, soon, people with a bit of status in YX County knew that Yang Degui's son Yang Rui was going to be the Cheng of PY County, and there were those who were envious, those who were jealous, those who were angry, and those who stammered.

"A person like Yang Rui can actually become a court official, this Ming court is really too corrupt." YX County Commander Song Zhong took the post sent by Steward Yang and said sadly.

"My lord, don't be sad, there are more people in the officialdom who are inferior to him." Niu Decao reassured, and he also received a post.

The headcatcher Wang Tiehan said: "My lord, shall we go, or shall we not go?" Wang Tiehan also received the post.

Glancing at the two of them, Song Zhong said, "Go." Of course we went, but we didn't have money to give gifts, so we gave him three jars of clear water. ”

"Send three jars of clear water?" Niu Decao asked suspiciously.

Song Zhong said lightly: "Isn't there a saying that a gentleman's friendship is as light as water!" ……”

"Oh? I understand. Niu Decao laughed

Five days later, at the door of "Four Seas Restaurant", there was a lot of traffic, a tide of people, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the banquet after receiving the post

Yang's father and son stood at the entrance of the building with a smile on their faces to greet the guests, accepting the flattering compliments in Arabic from the visitors, and Yang Rui was extremely comfortable in his heart. Due to the large number of people who came, there were 20 more tables in the original 100-table banquet, but later I invited people from other restaurants to help, and only then did I deal with it.

After the two-day banquet, the Yang father and son counted the gifts sent by the guests, and their smiling mouths couldn't close.

After the count, a total of 140,000 taels of silver was received, and only 40,000 taels were spent on the treat.

"It's really good to be an official!" Yang Rui looked at the pile of silver in the room and said with a sigh.

"Of course, a year of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, this is not in vain. My family has so much money and land, and it was not earned by your father and me as officials, and when you become a bigger official, it will be easier to make money. Yang Degui twisted his beard and said.

Yang Rui said excitedly: "Dad, don't worry, with your guidance in the back, plus my family's financial resources, I will definitely become a bigger official than you, not only will I not be afraid of that Zhao Manzi at that time, but I will also kill him, so that he will know the fate of offending my Yang family." ”

Yang Rui became an official, and there were more matchmakers, and after selection, the daughter of an official eunuch named Jin Cuizhi married him. Jin Cuizhi's grandfather also used to be the prefect, and the two sides can be regarded as the right person. Jin Cuizhi is beautiful and has a graceful body, and Yang Rui liked it when he saw it.

After getting married, Yang Rui took his wife Jin Cuizhi and several maids and family members Zhang Wu and Liu Qi to Pingyang to take up his post.

In the remote ravine of SX, Li Zicheng and his generals and Guo Tianxing Hui Dengxiang and others were discussing Gao Yingxiang's affairs, although he and Guo Tianxing had sent many forces to rescue Gao Yingxiang, but because of the large number of officers and soldiers escorted, and they were very elite and vigilant, they had never had a chance to attack.

After following for a long distance, seeing that there was no chance to take advantage of it, these small groups of men and horses had to turn back.

"Brother Li, this King Gao Chuang has been escorted to BJ by the heavy soldiers of the official army, and it is impossible for him to come back alive, people have no head and no head, birds have no head and no flight, in my opinion, you will carry the banner of King Chuang." Liu Zongmin said loudly.

"Yes, Brother Zongmin is right, the snake has no head and does not go, in my righteous army, except for the Eight Kings, no one else has this qualification and ability, and now the Eight Kings and Cao Cao have sent letters to recommend the eldest brother as the king of Chuang, and the eldest brother does not have to refuse." The gentle-looking Tami Hideki said.

Li Guo, Hao Shaoqi and others also said: "Brother Li, you just agree." ”

"We are also in favor of becoming the eldest brother as the king, and after breaking through from Heishuiyu, we came to him, which is to believe in his character and ability." Scorpion Block Tuoyangkun said loudly.

Guo Tianxing Hui Dengxiang said: "Yes, in August of the year before last (the seventh year of Chongzhen), if it weren't for Brother Li in the Carriage Gorge of SX Hanzhong, we would have been cleaned up by Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces. and Chongzhen for eight years, and it was also after listening to the words of the eldest brother that we got rid of Hong and shaved our heads and took Fengyang. ”

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, under the blow of Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, the peasant army fled to SX Hanzhong, strayed into the narrow and steep Chebox Gorge, was surrounded by the officers and regiments, and it rained heavily for several days, the peasant army had no food and grass, no rescue soldiers outside, people were sleepy and lacking horses, and they were about to be wiped out by the official army.

In late June, the Ming army and the rebel army reached an agreement on recruiting peace: Chen Qiyu would send an additional "eunuch" to the peasant army at a ratio of 1:100 to monitor the peasant army. So more than 30,000 peasant troops walked out of the treacherous carriage gorge smoothly.
