Chapter 433: Ask for an explanation

Dolgon's saddest thing was to discover that the brave and invincible Houjin people were also defeated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Retreat, retreat." Dolgon knew that the Houjin could not afford to suffer more casualties, and now they had to disengage with the security forces and then find a way to turn defeat into victory.

There are many infantry in the security army, and most of the Houjin people are cavalry, as soon as they disengage from the security army, they will have no choice but to take the Houjin people, and they will return to the hands of Dolgon on whether to fight or take the initiative.

Dolgon's idea was good, but it was difficult to realize. Not only did the infantry of the security army chase after the Houjin team, but the cavalry on the flank of the security army as a reserve also rushed up, giving the Houjin people a heavier blow.

The security forces on the hill have been observing the situation on the battlefield and looking for fighters.

Seeing that the Houjin people began to retreat, they rushed forward without hesitation. In particular, the Jurchen Hean Army moved faster, like a steel knife straight into the flank of the Houjin people who were watching them under the hills. The Houjin people under the hill were in danger of being surrounded by the security forces when they saw that something was wrong. And when they saw that their whole army was retreating, they did the same, and turned and fled.

The anticipated retreat became a rout. The Houjin people finally enjoyed the taste of being chased and killed from behind.

Dorgon tried to stabilize the group, but the security forces quickly discovered his position. The fluttering flag betrayed Dolgon, letting the security forces know that there must be a big fish here, and the security forces broke through several obstacles to kill Dolgon.

"Lord Belle is leaving, or it's too late." In order to protect Dorgon's safety, the soldiers did not care whether he agreed or not, and pulled his horse and fled in a direction that they thought was safe with the other defeated soldiers.

The security forces did not chase too far, but tried to keep the results in front of them.

The men and horses led by Zhang Chu finally converged with Adali and the others.

Even Zhang Chu felt very lucky, if he found out that the Houjin people's brigade was a little late, Adali and they might be bitten off by Dolgon. This Dolgon is really cunning, and he also gave Zhang Chu a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches. Zhang Chu almost fell into his way.

However, this time there is also an advantage, as soon as the son falls, the Houjin people will be painful. It was impossible for Dolgon not to report to Huang Taiji, which would be good for completing the deal with Chongzhen.

After the battle, the battlefield was full of corpses of men and horses and wounded soldiers who were still groaning in pain. Although the fighting was fierce, there were not many wounded in the security forces. It didn't take long for them to be carried down for treatment.

The wounded Houjin, who originally thought that they would lie in the wilderness and wait for death this time, were also gathered together and treated. In particular, the Jurchen Peace Army led by Adali continued to appear, which made the Houjin wounded feel a lot more relieved.

Zhang Chu did not have time to celebrate after the victory, he only let the security army rest for a while, and then ordered his troops to follow Dolgon all the way north. Dolgon had no choice but to retreat again and again. Zhang Chu chased for a long distance before stopping, and then chose to build a castle on an important road, and I chased here, this land is what I mean.

Dolgon finally arranged men and horses to stabilize the defensive line, but he still had palpitations and immediately sent someone to report to Huang Taiji. On the one hand, he reported the situation here, and at the same time, he also asked Huang Taiji to send troops back for reinforcements. This time Dorgon's face was disgraced.

After receiving Dolgon's report, Huang Taiji looked at it over and over again, this Zhang Chu is about to become the curse of the Houjin people, and almost every failure of the Houjin people in recent years has his shadow, and I don't know what he will do next.

Huang Taiji did not dare to hold on to it, so he had to end the robbery activities in Datong, Xuanhua and other places, and returned to Shenyang with his troops. But at this time, Zhang Chu's security army had advanced nearly 100 miles north from Lushun, and built cement forts beside some important roads. Huang Taiji knew how powerful it was after sending a small force to make a tentative attack on these fortresses. Wanting to capture a small fortress requires the Houjin people to pay huge sacrifices, and such a loss is something that Huang Taiji cannot afford.

Huang Taiji did not rush forward, but stopped to reorganize his troops and horses, looking for a way to conquer the fortress of the security army. Zhang Chu also has to digest the territory occupied behind him. The two sides tacitly stopped fighting, and the fighting in the northeast subsided.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Zhang Chu returned to Lushun, and although he took Emperor Chongzhen's money to do things this time, Zhang Chu was still nominally under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen. This time, after a great victory to wipe out thousands of Houjin, how could he have to reward the emperor with something.

In order to get a reward from the emperor, Zhang Chu found Xie Lian.

"Brother, how do you think I fought this battle?" Zhang Chu asked Xie Lian with a smile on his face.

"It was a good fight. If the Ming army had fought like this, the Houjin people would have been finished long ago. Xie Lian had no doubt about Zhang Chu's ability to fight.

"You see that the results of this battle are reported, can the emperor give us some money to spend?" Zhang Chu asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Don't even think about it, you asked the emperor for money before the war, the emperor was in a hurry by the Houjin people and could only give it to you, now that Huang Taiji has returned to Shenyang, you still want money, dream." Xie Lian was very dissatisfied with Zhang Chu's willingness to send troops after asking the emperor for money, and at the same time, he also understood who the emperor and the ministers of the court were. Therefore, Zhang Chu's dream was punctured all of a sudden.

"Otherwise, it's okay to be an official." Zhang Chu still didn't give up. This battle has been fought, if nothing is caught, Zhang Chu is very unwilling.

"It's impossible to get promoted, you don't have any contact with the ministers of the court, why should the ministers let you be promoted. What's in it for them if you're promoted? Therefore, if you don't ask for money, you can't get promoted. "What Xie Lian said is indeed the truth, and now every important position in the Ming Dynasty Hall has been divided up by the ministers. There is no place that can accommodate Zhang Chu.

"No kidding, let's be serious, I also know that it will be more and more difficult to get money from the emperor in the future. But our stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and I think that in a few days a large number of Han people in the northeast will defect to the areas we occupy, and our current territory will not be able to feed them at all. Your boss is benevolent and righteous, and you definitely don't want the Han people I voted for in the future to be turned away. Zhang Chu first found a high hat for Xie Lian to put on.

"What do you want to do?" Xie Lian knew that since Zhang Chu proposed this matter, he must have a solution.

"I think so, since the emperor doesn't give money, I'll go somewhere else. This North Korea is a good target. But I'm a reasonable person, and if I want to be famous, I need the emperor to make up the formalities for us. Korea was originally a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, but it was frightened by the Houjin people and formed a brotherly country with them, which was completely a betrayal of my Ming Dynasty. Therefore, let the emperor issue a decree and order me to ask the king of Korea for an explanation on behalf of the emperor. Zhang Chu knew that North Korea could be brought to its knees by force, but that didn't seem to look good in terms of righteousness. So I was going to do it in the name of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Korea is a country that is not to be conquered by Taizu, and it is difficult to make such a will of the saints." Xie Lian was also very embarrassed.

"It's certain that the saint is unwilling, but we must control North Korea, otherwise the Jin people will get a lot of resources from North Korea. This is not good for our future development. Please think about it, Lord Xie. Zhang Chu pinned his hopes on Xie Lian. (To be continued.) )
