337, the embarrassed tiger of the past and today (1)
Soon after Yu Guozhen walked, Gao Qiqian's gloomy face returned to his cold mouth.
He has his own cronies in the army, and there are few people who gallop to report to him, originally he was going to hide in Qian'an City, but he was caught up by the messenger halfway, and then he knew that the smoke and dust that scared him away turned out to be someone sent by Cui Bingde!
Seeing Cui Bingde, he said in a weird manner: "General Cui, I didn't expect that you would have such skills and ......."
"Relying on the Son of Heaven Hongen and the senior superintendent army, the last general won a small victory, if it wasn't for the senior superintendent army, then he ordered and the last general, where would the last general dare to transfer troops privately?" Cui Bingde didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The senior supervisor army really deserves the praise of the Son of Heaven as a soldier who knows the soldiers, and he strategizes, even the last general who has been at the border for a long time is also admired." ”
"Yes, yes, the senior superintendent is wise!"
"Not only is it wise, it is clearly wise and martial, and in the future, it will definitely be knighted for military merit!"
The generals left behind in Guanzhong, as long as they can get in front of Gao Qiqian, without exception, they are all touted, Gao Qiqian's gloomy face was red and white at first, and he was almost about to attack on the spot, but later he found that these people were all very sincere!
He is not a fool, naturally understands, there is another article in this.
"Go out first...... We have to listen to General Cui's separate report on the military situation. He said in a dark voice.
After everyone left, he stared at Cui Bingde: "What's going on?" ”
"What's going on?" Cui Bingde looked dazed: "Then the prison army came to speak coldly, didn't it just order the general to arrange this matter, cut off the response to the internal invasion of Jiannu, and prepare to join forces with the armies to annihilate the enemy?" ”
Gao Qiqian is a eunuch, and his psychology is indeed a little unsound compared with normal people, he glanced at Cui Bingde suspiciously, in his impression, this cold-mouthed guard is unruly, he is a sword that has been given by Qin, and the other party has not given him much good looks before!
"However, since the prison army has only one last general, there is still something to ask the prison guard...... A few words of that kindness. Cui Bingde said again: "We have beheaded nearly 500 achievements, but it is a rare victory, Your Majesty's side, the prison army can speak, this reward and the like, hehe, please also ask the prison army to say good words." ”
Gao Qiqian suddenly felt that he understood everything.
The more mentally unsound he is, the easier it is to be smart, he looked Cui Bingde up and down, and then showed a meaningful smile: "I see, since you are acting according to our family's orders, how can our family treat you badly, Cui Bingde, I can't see it, I can't see it, you still have such ability!" ”
"It's all up to the prison army to cultivate." Cui Bingde suppressed the vomiting in his heart and said.
Leaving Gao Qidive, he took a long breath, and the smell of the air seemed to become fresh. He couldn't help but raise his eyes to the west, what he said just now was all given to him by Yu Guozhen, if he followed his own surname, where could he say such disgusting words!
"Yu Gongzi is really a god, no wonder he can be a white body and repeatedly excel!" He thought secretly in his heart: "What this dead eunuch thinks and says is all expected by Yu Gongzi, if it weren't for Yu Gongzi's explanation, this time it was not for nothing, but a catastrophe from heaven!" ”
In this way, although most of the credit was given to Gao Qiqian, for Gao Qiqian, what he needed was only the credit for the command to win, not the decapitation - the number of decapitations was only a proof of his merit. On the contrary, because Cui Bingde insisted that the matter of leaving the customs was ordered by Gao Qiqian, then Gao Qiqian would inevitably exaggerate the significance of this victory in order to take more credit and cover up the fact that he avoided the enemy and was cowardly.
It can be said that Yu Guozhen completely speculated the idea of this great eunuch who was called Cao Huachun.
Yu Guozhen didn't expect that his parting confession would make Cui Bingde so respectful. Although he gave the merit of beheading to Cui Bingde, the corpse of more than 400 achievements was exchanged for more than 4,000 taels of silver, not to mention, the biggest harvest was obtained in the valley.
There he gathered more than 1,000 horses, and in the battle he lost more than 400 horses, and he carried back more than 500 horses. These horses are not like what they are riding now, and they will be returned to Cao Huachun after the war, but his real trophies. For the time being, he can keep these horses in Shandong, where his land is not fertile but can be used for horse grazing.
At this time, it was difficult to find good horses in the world, and the price of a horse was sold for nearly twenty taels of silver, and the war horse was priceless. Yu Guozhen had worked hard before, and Liukou had been the captain of the transport brigade several times, and the horses he had obtained were only a few hundred, and the number of them that could be used as war horses was not as much as he had obtained at one time this time. If it is converted into silver, it will not be more than ten thousand taels.
More importantly, the gold and silver that Jianyu transported in advance, although Azig was arrogant, but he was not completely ignorant of the importance, he knew that the plundered population was large, the target was large, and he might not be able to leave safely at that time, so he sent the most valuable gold and silver treasures out of the customs in advance.
The result was that Yu Guozhen was cheaper, which was obtained by Azig commanding an army of 100,000 to scrape Gyeonggi, and their means of scraping were not inferior to those of the Liukou, and the discount of these gold and silver alone was at least 200,000 taels.
However, it is a pity that Huang Taiji seems to have foreseen the idea that someone will fight these trophies, and it was planned at that time that every batch sent back from the customs would be transported to Liaodong by those who received them outside the customs, so Yu Guozhen only got the batch that had just arrived and had not been sent away, otherwise the harvest would be greater.
Soon after returning to Shenji Horse Fang, Yu Guozhen received two pieces of news one after another. One was sent by Cui Bingde, saying that he had various reactions after leaving. This news made Yu Guozhen want to understand that even if the person who was bought by Jianyu was Gao Qiqian, he was not really an internal annihilation, just greedy for money. It's no wonder that Jianyu didn't directly send people to deal with Gao Qiqian, but found a group of Ming people, so the identity of this group of Ming people can basically be deduced.
Those who can travel back and forth to Gyeonggi, who can travel to the internal prison, and who can meet the source between the Ming Dynasty and Jianyu, except for those Han and Han merchants, who else will there be! Only they will be trusted by the top management of Jianyu and hand over hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver to them for transportation.
Originally, Jianyu entered the customs and plundered, and many harvests, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some valuables, were not needed by the Jianyu themselves, so they would be handed over to these Han and wealthy merchants, who would smuggle them to the rich places in Nanzhili and Jiangnan for cash, and then exchange them for various military supplies needed by Jianyu and then transport them out of the customs. In this process, these annihilation merchants made huge profits, and as for whether this profit was the blood and tears of the people of Gyeonggi and Liaodong, they didn't care at all!
Another piece of news came from Jinyiwei, which was the latest battle situation. When the captives arrived at the mouth of Juzhou, they met with the newly appointed Shan'dong General Soldier Zu Kuan's army, and failed to attack the city, but turned around and went north, returned to Zhuo' Zhou, attacked the Xianghe, and broke Shun' righteousness. In the northern city of the Beijing Division, he showed off his might again, turned his target to Huai'rou and Da'an, and captured Xihe.
Everywhere they passed, the Ming army either avoided the battle, or did not come out to defend the city, and no one dared to come out to meet the attackers.
Zhang Fengyi, who went out to supervise the division, took Liang Tingdong of the Xuanda Army, and Gao Qiqian of the Xuanda Army, and Gao Qiqian of the Superintendent Army, each of them had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in their hands, but they avoided the enemy without fighting, but after the captivity was captured and plundered across the border, they ran to receive the city that had been destroyed, and then wrote to the court to say that they would recover a certain place today. Although those courtiers have nothing to do about how to solve the current difficulties, and they don't have the courage to replace these people to supervise the war, they can at least sit in the safe study and write their memoirs, and keep attacking the civil and military generals on the front line, so as to show their existence.
And because Yu Guozhen's side has not sent back the battle report for a long time, this makes Cao Huachun, especially Chongzhen behind Cao Huachun, a little anxious. He had high hopes for Yu Guozhen, and Yu Guozhen had indeed not disappointed them before.
Seeing the urging tone in Cao Huachun's letter brought by the messenger, Yu Guozhen couldn't help but sneer.
Rushing Chongzhen and Cao Huachun really thought that they were fighting for them, and they were loyal to this dynasty that was so rotten that it couldn't withstand any wind and rain?
But it just so happens that he just wants to create such an illusion, this time he left a deep impression on Chongzhen's bravery and loyalty, and then, he will be able to dig into his corner in a big way.
"You go back and report to Cao Gong, I have few soldiers and I don't dare to attack easily, so as not to miss Cao Gong's plan." But right now, we have to deal with Chongzhen and Cao Huachun: "Please rest assured, as long as I find an opportunity to build a captive, I will definitely hurt it and not disappoint the Son of Heaven and Cao Gong!" ”
This kind of coping words can only play a comforting role. What Yu Guozhen needs now is to wait, and from Xiteku's mouth, he has received more information than expected, so he judged that it will not be more than next month at the latest, and Jianyu will take the initiative to withdraw his troops.
The purpose of this captivity is very simple, that is, to plunder the Ming Dynasty, force the Ming Dynasty to protect itself, and cause a huge disaster to the Ming Dynasty in Gyeonggi, so that the Ming court can only use limited financial resources for disaster relief. Jianyu's trip is not ready for a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, so he will definitely withdraw before the arrival of the Ming army's Qinwang reinforcements, and the route of retreat will definitely not take Yanqingzhou, but will only be in the area of Yongping Mansion!
The wait was anxious, and on August 21, a new news reached Yu Guozhen, making Yu Guozhen realize that Jianyu was indeed preparing to evacuate.
On August 19, Azig ordered the division of troops and stationed them in Miyun and Pinggu, which seemed to be preparing to leave the customs from Gubeikou. Just when the Ming army was relieved, Azig suddenly turned around and headed south, and with lightning speed, he scraped the vicinity of the Beijing division again. After completing this attack, the main force of the Qing army began to move, but it did not go to Gubeikou as the Ming army imagined, but to the east, and the front of the troops pointed to Jizhou, as if it was still unfinished, preparing for a new round of killing and captivity.
But Yu Guozhen knew that Azig was really ready to leave this time.
"Why would Jimin judge like this?" When he received the news, Yu Guozhen was washing the dust for a person, and this person listened to Yu Guozhen's judgment and asked in surprise.
"It's very simple, now there are 200,000 people and animals captured by Jianlu, and the Jianyu soldiers are only more than 80,000 but less than 100,000. Yu Guozhen said: "Please help me, brother, and save as many of these captured Chinese people as I can!" ”
"I want it!" The popularity is magnificent.
