readx; Hao Yongzhong really came back, but he was seriously wounded, and more than half of the 500 light cavalry under his command was lost. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Zhu Youzhen rushed to the temporary camp of the 3,000 battalion in the outer city to visit, and saw that several military doctors were busy treating Hao Yongzhong who was lying on the 'bed', and Hao Yongzhong had a deep wound on his front 'chest', left arm and big 'leg', which was close to the bone, and looked very terrifying.

Seeing that the emperor arrived, Hao Yongzhong still wanted to support him to get off the 'bed' and salute, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly pressed him on the 'bed' and said: "You are injured like this, don't 'mess' move." How did you get out of the first battle just now? ”

Hao Yongzhong smiled nonchalantly: "The general is immortal and injured when he goes into battle, this wound looks scary, but it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, it's nothing." The last general was ordered to intercept the pursuers, damn it, he was really the main force of the Tartar blue flag, and I also had a face-to-face with Hauge. It's a pity that this rabbit cub didn't fight alone with the last general, otherwise the last general would have dedicated his head to the saint. ”

It turned out that after Hao Yongzhong led 500 light cavalry, he also knew that his own troops were too small, especially Zhu Youzhen was escorting extremely important artillery, and once the Houjin army caught up, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, he had already made up his mind that even if all his 500 cavalry were killed, he would do his best to stop the pursuers.

Therefore, Hao Yongzhong did not completely obey Zhu Youzhen's orders, he was afraid that the cunning 'female' real people would see that he was 'luring' the enemy, and he had to fight with real knives and guns in order to firmly attract the Tartars and buy more time for the emperor.

And his opponent was indeed the main force of the blue flag in the garrison of Dong'an City yesterday, and the banner owner Hauge personally commanded the troops. Hauge was originally as strong as an ox and was a first-class brave general among the 'female' real people, but he also had one of his biggest weaknesses, that is, his heart was narrow-minded, and he was irritable and irritable. During the last battle of Ningyuan, he was scolded by Zhu Youzhen, and he was crooked and said that he was cuckolded by Dolgon, so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma, and then he fell seriously ill and almost died, and he was not cured until not long ago.

Now that Huang Taiji is the Great Khan of the Later Jin, in order to further balance the other 'Jur' true nobles, especially the three brothers Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, he not only personally held the Yellow Flag and the Yellow Flag, but also forcibly assigned the Blue Flag to his eldest son Haoge. Hauge is also ambitious, dreaming of one day inheriting the throne of the Great Khan of Huang Taiji, and then he can find an excuse to kill Dorgon and wash away the shame of "taking his wife".

The inheritance customs of the 'female' real people are still quite primitive, and whoever has the bigger fist has more say. Therefore, in this southern invasion, Haoge was quite active, and the proposal to lead the blue flag and serve as the southern route army was put forward by him on his own initiative, and it was also approved by Huang Taiji. Hauge has his own wishful thinking, and leading the army alone has two advantages: one is that all the war exploits are his own, and the other is that the loot he has grabbed is also all his own.

However, since he entered the customs from Xifengkou, his Southern Route Army has not encountered any decent resistance, and it is not his turn to grab big cities like Zunhua and Jizhou, he can only capture small counties such as Xianghe and Dong'an, and there is really not much oil and water to grab. Therefore, he was so anxious that as soon as the heavy rain stopped last night, he rushed in the direction of Jingshi. Hao Yongzhong's 500 light cavalry was the first Ming army he encountered with a blue banner that dared to face the battle, and Hao Ge was very excited, and with a wave of his big hand, he launched a charge of the whole army, trying to swallow the 500 Ming army in one bite.

One side is determined to die, and the other side is calculating whale swallowing, and the 'fierce' degree of this battle can be imagined. Although these 500 light cavalry can be called the most 'elite' warriors in the 3,000 battalions, first, there are too many enemy troops, and second, in the field battle, the combat effectiveness is still a cut behind the Eight Banners cavalry, which is the best cavalry in the world, and it doesn't take much effort to kill more than half of the casualties.

Hao Yongzhong then led his army to the south and retreated. Of course, Haoge was unwilling to let this piece of 'fat' and 'meat' run away, and chased all the way for more than 30 miles. It wasn't until he was about to recover Dong'an County that Haoge suddenly realized that he might have fallen into the Ming army's plan to 'lure' the enemy. Although he was sincere in his meritorious service, the cunning and flexibility of the 'Jurchen' on the battlefield had been deeply rooted in his bones, so he did not dare to make a mistake and no longer chased this remnant army.

Hao Yongzhong escaped by luck and returned to Beijing non-stop. Although the casualties were heavy, the task of covering the emperor's return to Beijing was successfully completed, so although Hao Yongzhong was not lightly injured, he was still elated, and repeatedly asked Zhu Youzhen to fight, looking at his posture, he had to fight with Hao Ge in a dignified and upright manner, and revenge for this arrow.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said solemnly: "Your task now is to heal my injuries, and then I will be useful to you." Now I want to defend the city, and I don't need you for the time being. Your 3,000 battalions will be the general reserve. ”

After coming out of the 3,000 camp, Zhu Youzhen again focused on inspecting the resettlement of the refugees. The population of Jingshi was originally more than one million, but now more than 100,000 refugees have poured into Tongzhou and nearby counties.

Zhu Youzhen's resettlement policy is: if refugees have relatives and friends in Beijing, they can seek refuge with relatives and friends on their own; If there is nowhere to vote, it will be placed near the Tongyuan 'gate' in the northeast corner of the outer city.

Today, the expansion of the outer castle of Jingshi has not yet been completed, but it has the function of defense. The design of the city wall is that the inner layer is made of rammed earth walls, and the outer layer is covered with city bricks. Now all the city walls have been completed with rammed earth, although there are no city bricks, and the defense against artillery bombardment or battering rams is poor, but the Houjin army came from afar, and there are no large siege equipment, let alone artillery, so this is not a big problem. The various city gates, as the top priority of defense, have all been completed ahead of schedule.

The "gate" of the Jingshi City is known as the "inner nine and outer seven imperial city four", and the outer city originally only had the Yongding 'gate' in the south, the 'gate' on the left, and the 'gate' on the right, as well as the Guangqu 'gate' and the east 'gate', and the Guang'an 'gate' and the west 'gate' in the west. Except for the three 'gates' on the south side, which remained untouched, the other four 'gates' have been demolished with the expansion of the city walls.

Now there are three gates on each side of the outer city, making a total of twelve gates. From south to north in the east are the 'gate' of Xinguangqu, 'gate' of Taiping and 'gate' of Xing'an, and the 'gate' of Taiping is the main 'gate'; in the west from south to north, there are 'gate' of Xinguang'an, 'gate' of Kunlun and 'gate' of Xihai, and the 'gate' of Kunlun is the main 'gate'; from east to west of the north is the 'gate' of Tongyuan, the 'gate' of the North Pole and the 'gate' of Zhenxi, and the 'gate' of the North Pole is the main 'gate'.

Except for the Guangqu 'Gate' and Guang'an 'Gate', which follow the original names, the names of the other seven city 'gates' were all taken by Zhu Youzhen himself. Many ministers did not understand the meaning, but only Zhu Youzhen himself knew: Taiping 'Gate', which means that China faces the Pacific Ocean; Xing'an 'Gate', which means the Outer Khing'an Mountains in the northeast; Kunlun 'Gate', which means the border of western China, originating from the Kunlun Mountains of the Pamir Plateau, Xihai 'Gate', which means Lake Balkhash, which is also the boundary lake between China and Central Asian countries, and Tongyuan 'Gate', which means the extreme east of the Asian continent, was called "Kamchatka Peninsula" in the previous life, and is only separated from the New World by a strait; The 'gate' of the North Pole means the North Pole, and the 'gate' of Zhenxi means that China is firmly eyeing the European powers in the northwest, so that they will never dare to covet China.

Through the naming of these gates, Zhu Youzhen implicitly expressed his views on China's northern borders. In his opinion, not only the northeast region is the Ming Dynasty, but the more northern and vast North Asian land should definitely not be encroached upon by Tsarist Russia! ...
