Chapter 431: Retreat

was supposed to be happy about the victory, but I didn't expect such a thing to suddenly pop up.

Passing the head of the nine sides? That's a word that carries a lot of weight.

When it comes to the first nine sides, we have to talk about Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi and the first nine sides, the relationship between this is complicated, involving party disputes, involving the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Wei Party, etc., rather than just a sentence that can be easily said.

The frame in the first nine sides of the biography was entwined, so that the ministers present listened, and there was no one who did not fall into deep thought, didn't the emperor say before that he would no longer mention the matter of the Wei Party? Why is it mentioning the first nine sides now? This rumor will definitely involve the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Wei Party, and it will involve the party struggle, isn't this going to bring up the old things again? The ministers in the hall bowed their heads one after another, looked sideways, and wondered if the emperor's words had any special meaning and whether they represented a certain wind direction.

For a while, the court became suspicious. The ministers have started to associate with this sentence.

In fact, Yang Reform doesn't know much about the first nine sides, probably because he feels that Xiong Tingbi is indeed a little wronged by the first nine sides, but Wang Huazhen, who really failed to command the battle, is not so miserable. The real meaning of Yang Reform is just to establish authority and military prestige by passing on the first nine sides, and to pave the way for his future actions, that's all, as for his own words, let the ministers think about it, which was unexpected.

The suspicions in the court are becoming more and more solemn, and the more suspicious the ministers are, the more they dare not express their stance easily, for fear that this is a huge whirlpool, whether it is to protect oneself or look at the form, no one will say anything about this matter, as if this incident has never happened.

Yang Reform had been waiting for the ministers' crazy opposition to him, but he didn't expect the courtiers to have such an expression, as if the first nine sides of the legend were a forbidden place that was as secret.

For this kind of scene, Yang Reform was a little surprised, and the many rhetoric he had thought of did not come in handy.

"Since all the ministers are not opposed, then, the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will send personnel to inspect the head, and after the examination, the merit will be rewarded, and then the head will be transported to the border and passed on to the first nine sides, so as to comfort the sacrificed soldiers and the people who died......" Yang Reform originally thought that there would be a fight, but he didn't expect it to pass so easily, and simply gave an order, and this matter was over.

……

When the news came out of the court, the whole city cheered, the whole country was excited, and the streets were full of people who were running to tell each other, compared with the Jinning victory a few years ago, this time it was a real victory, more beautiful, and the head would not lie.

The news also spread to a certain courtyard in Jingshi.

"Uncle Xu, is this serious?" A young man trembled and looked at an old man in his fifties with tears in his eyes.

The old man was also full of joy, and in his eyes, he was full of joy, and said: "It won't be wrong, the news just came out of the palace, Your Majesty seems to have some sympathy for your father's matter, this matter has been loosened, virtuous nephew, this is a great thing, tomorrow, the old man will be able to wash away the grievances of your father again, presumably this time he will definitely be able to wash away the grievances of your father, even if he can't wash away the grievances, at least, you can also bury your father's head, this is a good thing anyway" The old man was quite happy, and the more he talked, the more he moved.

"Then there is Uncle Lao, and the nephew has nothing to thank Uncle Xie, but to kowtow to his uncle...... the young man said, and he kowtowed a few times on the ground, and his eyes were already full of tears.

"Alas, virtuous nephew, why are you so troubled? Don't worry, the old man is just fighting for this official uniform and don't ......"

……

Zhenjiang Fort.

Since the Ming Dynasty sent supplies to Zhenjiang Fort, the war has quietly stopped.

Huang Taiji has been awake for a few days and his body is gradually recovering.

“…… In other words, my Dajin is now, and it is not to go, and it is not to go? "It's been a few days, and Huang Taiji still hasn't made a decision on the question of Dajin's whereabouts.

"Back to the Great Khan, yes, if you go, this battle of Zhenjiang Fort will be a complete defeat for my Dajin, and it will be a very miserable loss, in the future, máo Wenlong will be my Dajin's lingering nightmare, an insurmountable mountain, which will be extremely unfavorable to my Dajin, but if you don't go, you can't do it......" Fan Wencheng and several other henchmen were in the sweat tent, discussing with Huang Taiji the question of Houjin's whereabouts. ,

Xiantai continued. Huang Taiji said.

"Great Khan, it's late October now, Mobei, Khalkha has already begun to snow, or it won't be long before the entire Liaodong will be covered with heavy snow, Great Khan, if you don't leave, you are likely to be trapped here, and the transportation of grain and grass is more difficult, the army has been out for many years, the Great Khan is ......, Shengjing can't support it, and he is already complaining, if the army stays in Zhenjiang Fort for the winter, I'm afraid of ......" Fan Wencheng began to analyze the situation for Huang Taiji in an all-round way.

"Well......" Huang Taijizhi hummed, didn't say anything, just lowered his head and thought deeply, Fan Wencheng said this, he all knew that the army stayed in Zhenjiang Fort for the winter, this idea, Huang Taiji didn't think about it, Huang Taiji was a little tempted before, but now, he doesn't think about it here.

"Great Khan, now the news from the Karaqin steppe that the Ming Dynasty sent Man Gui to kill those tribes that are related to my Dajin in Karaqin, and has besieged many tribes, many tribes who originally planned to take refuge in my Dajin were either strangled by Mangui or defected to the Ming Dynasty and became the ...... of the Imperial Army" Speaking of this, Fan Wencheng stopped, looked at Huang Taiji, and saw that Huang Taiji was still listening, so he continued.

"It is said that the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Cooperative Army is responsible for the suppression of the Imperial Army, supervising the Imperial Cooperative Army's operations, and he does not participate in the war himself, only in the case that the Imperial Association Army cannot fight, he will shoot, once he shoots, it is a ...... victory, it is said that the Imperial Association Army, but also with my big golden bull record in general, usually grazing, wartime three chōu one, take turns to fight, the capture, also by the Mangui is responsible for distribution, the Ming Dynasty chōu take fifty, and the rest belongs to the Imperial Association Army to divide the ......" The information about the Imperial Association Army is already very clear, so, when Fan Wencheng talked about the Imperial Cooperative Army, is extraordinarily xiǎo heart, for fear of angering Huang Taiji, this imperial alliance army is carved out of the same mold as his Houjin Eight Banners.

Huang Taiji already knew about this, but there was nothing he could do, he couldn't do anything about the things on the Karaqin grassland, otherwise he wouldn't have hurried to Zhenjiang Fort, Karaqin was too far away from Dajin, too far from here. Máo Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, and Lin Dan Khan blocked him on three sides, and he couldn't reach it, so he couldn't care about so much. Now it seems that it is the layout of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of layout of the formation, the layout of the fair and strategic, Huang Taiji was a chess piece before, and he could only follow the hand of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and now he understands, and he can only watch, if he does not solve the máo Wenlong, he will not be able to go west, and the nest has always been under the threat of the máo Wenlong, and if he wants to solve the máo Wenlong, the máo Wenlong is ...... Zhenjiang Fort, which is back to the original point.

“…… Again, the Great Khan, now there are so many cannons in Zhenjiang Fort, and then go to attack the city, Wen Cheng feels that the odds of victory are really not much, and the cannons can reinforce hundreds of mén, so the grenades needless to say, must be a large batch, this kind of use of human lives to consume grenades, now after the heavy snow closes the mountain, I am afraid that even the North Koreans are not easy to catch, and now the North Koreans have heard that my Dajin is arresting people everywhere, many of them have fled south, and it is already difficult to catch people, not to mention that after the heavy snow closes the mountain, it will be more difficult to walk ......, and there are not enough lives to fill, This Zhenjiang Fort is impossible to capture no matter what......" Fan Wencheng continued to say about the situation.

It was very quiet in the sweat tent, Huang Taiji just bowed his head and said nothing, now Zhenjiang Fort is already covered with thorns, and there is no way to start.

"......, no matter how heavy the sweat is, after the heavy snow covers the mountain, it has become difficult to even dig a trench, and all kinds of situations are unfavorable to my Dajin Wen Cheng means to be able to withdraw, or to withdraw as soon as possible...... stay here, it is useless to stay here......" Fan Wencheng thought about it, but he didn't think that there was anything that was beneficial to Dajin. The only advantage is that now that the river has receded, the warships that can dock at Zhenjiang Fort have retreated one after another, and Zhenjiang Fort is lonely again, and after the snow, the river has become a thoroughfare, which is convenient for besieging the city, but when I think of the hundreds of mén cannons on Zhenjiang Fort, this advantage, don't do it.

"Siege is not my Dajin's director...... ...... withdrawing, Ben Khan also wants to withdraw......" Huang Taiji raised his head and muttered.

“…… I heard that the dozen or so people who were scattered by Máo Wenlong are still fighting with my big gold? We went, they ran away, and when we retreated a little, they came back, not with my Dajin head-on jiāo hand, but blindly sāo disturbed, pestered my Dajin, did not let my Dajin have the slightest rest, the Ming Emperor's hand, is to see the lifeblood of my Dajin ah the so-called surrender without a fight, the so-called invincible and victorious, probably so, the Ming Dynasty emperor has a good hand Ah this time, my Dajin lost in the hands of the Ming Dynasty emperor, it is not wronged...... "Huang Taiji experienced the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, combined with the previous ones, After a few days of thinking, I finally understood the plan of the Ming Dynasty emperor and saw the layout of the Ming Dynasty emperor, but I saw it, but there was no way to break the situation, Máo Wenlong was still in Zhenjiang Fort, was there a way to capture it? No? Those dozen passers-by, just playing peek-a-boo with Dajin, have been fighting for so long, and I haven't seen how much the dozen or so people have lost, it's really not good, others have retreated to the sea, facing the sea, Daikin can only watch and eat, can't solve máo Wenlong, can't go west at all, can't go west, don't say anything Karaqin, even take a few more steps, Huang Taiji has to worry about his hometown being copied, as soon as he hears máo Wenlong is doing something, he has to run back to deal with máo Wenlong. ,

"Xiantai, look, if Dajin gives up Zhenjiang Fort and no longer entangles with Máo Wenlong, where is it better to retreat?" Huang Taiji said with some sadness, this time, he lost in the hands of the Ming Dynasty emperor, he lost unjustly, the Ming Dynasty emperor's layout ability, much higher than him, from the whole thing, he is a chess piece in the hands of the Ming Dynasty emperor, following the Ming Dynasty emperor's hand, this kind of chess piece, not even the opportunity to play chess with the layout of the person, not at all on the same level, to the negative Huang Taiji was hit by this kind of truth, the whole person is a lot negative.

Fan Wenchen is still frightened and really wants to retreat? How far does this have to go back? Although he has been persuading Huang Taiji to retreat, he also knows that retreat is never a good thing, and once they withdraw, then their defense line does not know where to retreat. If you want to maintain a proper defensive circle with Shengjing as the center, I don't know how many places to give up.

After a little look on the sand table, Fan Wencheng already had a bottom in his heart. Bowing his head, he said: "Hui Great Khan, if my army withdraws from Zhenjiang Fort, then in the east, I can no longer suppress Máo Wenlong, Máo Wenlong has the convenience of a sea boat, and can disturb my Dajin from any place, so this Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, to Phoenix, to Kuandian, I am afraid that I will not be able to gain a foothold anymore, I am afraid that it will all belong to Máo Wenlong......"

"It doesn't matter, these places are an enclave for my Dajin, and it's ......good to give it to Máo Wenlong," Huang Taiji didn't care much about such a large area that Fan Wencheng had set out.

"What does the Great Khan mean?" Fan Wencheng asked, is it worth being happy to lose such a large piece of land?

"Hehe, Xiandou doesn't know, this place is an enclave, if it is returned to the Ming Dynasty, isn't the Ming Dynasty the most concerned about the land? Do you care most about recovering lost land? Now that Ben Khan has sent such a large piece of land to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should be grateful to Ben Khan...... Hehehe......" Huang Taiji said this, already laughing.

"What does the Great Khan mean? Could it be that the Great Khan means that to give these lands to the Ming Dynasty, with the Central Plains Imperial Court's consistent emphasis on land, it will definitely regard these lands as restored land, and will definitely send people to manage and redevelop them, or in a few years, this is another granary of my Dajin, but it will be lent to the Ming Dynasty in the past few years? "Fan Wencheng already understands what Huang Taiji means, according to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, the recovery of the lost land, that is a great achievement, or it will not be long before officials will be sent to govern, appease the displaced people or something, or in a few years, these places will have to flow oil, and when the time comes, Dajin will not have to do anything, as long as he comes to rob it.

"Hehehe, it's exactly ......, Ben Khan expects that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be given míhuò by the merits of this land for hundreds of miles, hehe, these lands, just give him a few years for the time being, wait a few years, there are dealers everywhere here, Ben Khan will come to take ......" Huang Taiji is very optimistic, Huang Taiji believes that he knows the Ming Dynasty very well.

"The Great Khan is very powerful," Fan Wencheng immediately praised.

"Well, that's it, Wen Cheng drew up a strategy, see how to withdraw, draw a line, see where it is more appropriate to withdraw, give up if you should give up......" Huang Taiji pretended to be relaxed and said, in fact, I was quite frustrated in my heart, I have always been confident, in this battle of Zhenjiang Fort, I was crushed, I have always boasted and conceited, but in this war, I can only be used as a chess piece, and I don't even have the opportunity to play chess with others on the table, this kind of blow is quite big, the consequence of this war is that Houjin gave up Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Most of Gaizhou, all the way to Phoenix, all the way to Kuandian, a vast place, will no longer be able to support, and they all have to give up, otherwise, confronting Máo Wenlong, he can't support the grain and grass alone.

"Chi......rp, Wen Cheng obeys," Fan Wencheng said.

"In addition, taking advantage of the fact that the river has descended now, leave half of the men and horses to continue to besiege Zhenjiang Fort, and the other departments will take turns to fight the grass valley on the Korean side, whoever catches it and gets it will belong to whoever they get, and if they are captured, they will no longer rush to Zhenjiang Fort, let's rush home, and when everyone is full, we will go back to Shengjing......" Huang Taiji said with some silence.

Fan Wenchen's heart thumped when he heard this, and he looked at Huang Taiji's face, in fact, in his heart, he was also so poisonous and North Korea was torn his face anyway, and he had to grab a handful of North Korea before leaving, and he didn't please here in the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't please him here in Máo Wenlong Zhenjiangbao, but he wanted to make up for it in the North Koreans.

"Chirp"

"Chirp",

A few of Huang Taiji's henchmen next to him immediately knelt down and promised to gnaw on the hard bone of Zhenjiang Fort here, and he had knocked out a mouthful of teeth, and now, he can eat a few pieces of ròu in North Korea.

After being silent for many days, this time, there was finally a burst of laughter.

……

Early in the morning, Yang Reform got up early, and yesterday he easily passed the matter of passing the first nine sides, and his actions took another step forward, which is undoubtedly worth rejoicing. Therefore, today, Yang Gai got up early in the morning, ready to go to the office early, and if he is in a good mood, he will be motivated.

"Ome, what's important today?" Yang reformed the god jīng, and was in a very happy mood, and asked Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen was suspicious for a long time before he said: "Back to Your Majesty, there doesn't seem to be any major event today, but there is one thing I don't know Your Majesty ......."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, does Your Majesty remember the events of the First Nine Sides?" Wang Chengen said.

"You know, what's wrong?" Yang Gengai asked, thinking that Wang Chengen had found something wrong.

"Your Majesty, today someone is playing a trick and pleading for Xiong Tingbi's grievances." Wang Chengen said, in fact, this kind of thing is nothing at all, if it weren't for the fact that this matter and the emperor's first nine sides of the biography yesterday could be hooked, Wang Chengen might not tell the emperor about this, in the case of no big deal, talk about it, it depends on the emperor's mood, while talking, while looking for Yang reform.

"Oh, avenge Xiong Tingbi?" Yang Reform condensed his eyebrows and thought about it, Xiong Tingbi's matter, Yang Reform knew something, the first nine sides of the legend is his head, although he was responsible for the defeat, but he was rumored to be the first nine sides, this is indeed a bit excessive, not to mention, Wang Huazhen, who was directly responsible for the defeat, did not have this treatment, obviously, the punishment for him, after a while, obviously, the punishment for him, mixed with many other factors.

Yang Reform didn't think too much about the inside story of this matter, and thought about it, his own military prestige was more or less cheap to take advantage of his head, if he didn't have his head to teach Jiubian in front, he wanted to give the border army prestige, and he couldn't find such a suitable excuse, counting it, Xiong Tingbi's head still helped him.

I looked at it a little, what was said in it, Yang Reform didn't have much mind to study, with his own intuition, not to say anything else, the first nine sides of the biography were indeed over, this head helped himself, this is enough, the rest, I don't need to dig deeper.

Yang Reform, who thought about it, said: "Well, I know, Xiong Tingbi's matter is indeed a little wronged, Xiong Tingbi's head, let his son take it back, bury it well, don't mention other things, this matter is over,...... By the way, big companion, you quietly send five hundred taels of silver to Xiong Tingbi's son, comfort him, and cheer up his son, as the saying goes, where he falls, he gets up from there, and redresses his father Xiong Tingbi's grievances, nothing more than to prove it with actual merits, this is better than anything else, his father fell on the defeat of the war, I hope he, I hope that his family can get up from this aspect......"

Yang Reform thought about it, and then ordered, in the front, he intuitively felt that Xiong Tingbi's punishment was a bit excessive, and in the back, it was purely thanks to Xiong Tingbi's head, without that head in front of him, he couldn't follow suit.

To be a man, we must learn to be grateful.
