"By sea?"

Suna's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he patted his forehead fiercely, and said suddenly, "Yes, why didn't the slave think that wow, this will be the sea should also freeze, and the people and horses can completely pass through the sea, even if the Nanming barbarians seize the Shanhaiguan Pass, what then?" Hahaha......"

"And it doesn't stop there."

Duoduo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the more than 2,000 sleds that had been built, and said, "With this thing, the soldiers are exempt from the pain of long journeys, and they are faster and more comfortable than riding horses!" ”

"Oh?" Suna couldn't believe it, "What is this, it's really so amazing?" ”

Dodor smiled, "Soon you'll know." ”

■■■

Shandong, Zhangqiu Town.

The red lady was afraid of Wang Pu's arms, and said reluctantly: "Master Hou, you have to come to Kaifeng quickly." ”

Wang Pu lowered his head, buried his mouth and nose in the red lady's hair, sniffed deeply, and said softly: "Baby, two months at most, just wait for the military and political affairs of Shandong and Beizhili to come over." ”

"Hmm." The red lady hummed lightly and said in a low voice, "The slave family is waiting for you." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Wang Pu to respond, the red lady raised her head and took the initiative to kiss Wang Pu deeply on the mouth, and then the delicate body twisted over the fiery red war horse, and then looked back at Wang Pu affectionately.

In less than a moment, the figure of the red lady had disappeared at the end of the long street.

As soon as the red lady left, Liu Qingyan's figure came out from behind Wang Pu, Liu Qingyan shook his head, and said enviously: "Tsk, what a concubine, Master Hou, the slave family is jealous." ”

"Scratch your hooves."

Wang Pu turned his head and looked at Liu Qingyan with a smile, his ambiguous gaze moved around her plump and delicate body for a moment, and finally stopped on the round and curvy fat buttocks, Liu Qingyan quickly reached out to cover his buttocks, and said in a flattering voice: "Master, you don't want to smoke the slave's ass again, do you?" ”

"Yes, of course." Wang Puyin smiled, "I want to pump your ass now." ”

As he spoke, Wang Pu grabbed Liu Qingyan's thin waist and carried her into the wing.

Liu Qingyan looked up like a flower in Wang Pu's arms, glanced at Wang Pu charmingly, and said with a smile: "Yo, Master Hou, are you okay?" The young widow of the red lady has been absent for half a year, from last night to this afternoon, she has pestered you six or seven times, to say the least, right? ”

"What? How dare you say I can't? Wang Pu snorted, "You'll know your master's skills later, hum, six or seven times is nothing, ten times and eight times are no problem." ”

"Master." Liu Qingyan said in a charming voice, "You have to thank the slave family, if it weren't for the slave family to teach you the [***] scripture, so that you learned to transfer the nine turns**, hehe, let alone be ten times a night, I'm afraid you can't even be a night three times, how can you still be like this night and night, how can you let the sisters love to death?" ”

Wang Pu stretched out his fingers and brushed the cherry lips of Liu Qingyan, and said with a smile: "You have two small mouths, you can really kill people." ”

Liu Qingyan smiled and said: "The slave's mouth will not kill the Hou Ye, it will only make the Hou Ye want to die, hehe." ”

"Scratch your hooves." Wang Pu's claws had already penetrated into Liu Qingyan's trouser waistband and said with a smile, "It seems that every time the lord waits for you to die, right?" ”

"Master, don't." Liu Qingyan suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Wang Pu's claws, and said in a low voice, "Tonight, the slave family must serve Hou Ye well, and let Hou Ye be the tenth time of the night, but not now, there is still business." ”

"Serious business?" Wang Pu just came to the embroidery couch with Liu Qingyan in his arms, and when he heard the sound, he couldn't help but let go of Liu Qingyan, and asked in amazement, "What's the latest news?" ”

Liu Qingyan bowed his head lightly and said in a low voice: "Through the interrogation of the Jiannu captives, it is now certain that Dolgon brought a total of nearly 60,000 Jiannu Eight Banners and 180,000 Mongolian cavalry in this southern expedition, with a total strength of 240,000!" However, in the two battles of Jining and the battle of Shagou River, our central army only annihilated 7,000 Jiannu iron cavalry and more than 20,000 Tartar cavalry, and more than 20,000 Jiannu and about 140,000 Tartar soldiers died in internal strife. ”

Wang Pu said in a condensed voice: "In other words, there are nearly 30,000 Jiannu and more than 20,000 Tartar soldiers missing?" ”

Liu Qingyan said again: "The Henan army of the Red Lady intercepted and killed more than 10,000 Jiannu and more than 10,000 Tartar soldiers in the Liaocheng area, so only more than 10,000 Jiannu and thousands of Tartar soldiers are missing. ”

Wang Pu said: "Go on." ”

Liu Qingyan said: "Does Master Hou still remember what the messenger sent by Ezhe to sue for peace said before the decisive battle of Jining? ”

"Of course I do." Wang Pu said, "That guy's name is Hu Luwen, and he said that Dolgon had saved the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and asked Duoduo to lead more than 10,000 elite soldiers with the white flag to escort all the war horses in the army to Dongpingzhou, hiss...... Qingyan, you mean, the more than 10,000 Jiannu whose whereabouts are unknown are the more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the White Flag taken away by Duoduo? ”

Liu Qingyan said: "Jiannu Eight Banners have experienced countless battles of all sizes, can be called an elite division, such an army will not be dispersed even if it loses, most of the Jiannu who were intercepted and killed by the Henan cavalry near Liaocheng are collectives with each banner as a unit, and there are few single Jiannu soldiers, which is enough to show that the more than 10,000 Jiannu whose whereabouts are unknown are not scattered, but have escaped Liaocheng before the Henan cavalry of the Red Lady arrived in Liaocheng. ”

Wang Pu said in a condensed voice: "You mean that these more than 10,000 Jiannu had already crossed Liaocheng and fled north before the Henan cavalry of the Red Lady arrived in Liaocheng?" ”

Liu Qingyan bowed his head lightly, and said, "Master Hou still remembers that before the battle of Jining, such a sister had a premonition that Dolgon seemed to be arranging the aftermath, and now it seems that Dolgon has indeed had a premonition that Jiannu may be defeated in the battle of Jining, so he has arranged the aftermath in advance. ”

"It seems so." Wang Pusenran said, "What a Dolgon, he actually left such a hand!" ”

Liu Qingyan said: "Now I can only hope for General Tang Sheng, if he can capture Shanhaiguan before Duoduo, maybe he can intercept this group of Jiannu, otherwise, if this group of more than 10,000 Jiannu escapes back to Guanwai, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble to solve them in the future, after all, Guanwai is not as good as the Central Plains, firstly, the logistics supply line is too long, and secondly, Liaodong is the land of Jiannu after all, and it is the doorstep of people." ”

"It's useless." Wang Pu waved his hand and said abruptly, "Even if Tang Sheng occupies Shanhaiguan, he can't stop Duoduo from escaping back to the customs, Shanhaiguan can't go, Jiannu can still go to Xifengkou, Miyun, Xuanfu, Datong, even if the land route can't go, Jiannu can still return to Liaodong from the sea." ”

"At sea?" Liu Qingyan was stunned and said, "Jiannu doesn't have a sailor, how can I take the sea route?" ”

Wang Pu smiled bitterly: "It's cold in the north, and the sea will freeze in winter, and the ice is several feet thick, even if you are an ironclad heavy rider, you can travel freely from the sea, if Duoduo can make a sled, it will be easier, and his more than 10,000 Jiannu will no longer have to suffer from trekking through mountains and rivers, and they can go home in a carriage." ”

Liu Qingyan was a little disappointed and said, "So...... Is there no hope of intercepting and killing this group of Jiannu? ”

"There's no hope for the interception." Wang Pu said abruptly, "I can only wait for later, but Jining's first war Jiannu has been greatly damaged, and the more than 10,000 Jiannu taken away by Duoduo alone can't afford to turn over much of the storm, and once Jiannu is weak, the Koreans and Mongols will no longer buy their accounts, and without the food supply of North Korea and the Mongols as their wings, Jiannu can no longer pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Pu said again: "In the battle of Jining, the Mongolian Tatars also suffered a great loss in strength, and the four Horqin divisions near the Great Wall were even more miserable, and they could no longer pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty, and now the threat to the imperial court is Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two thieves, as well as Wu Sangui, a dog man." ”

■■■

Taiyuan, Shanxi, Wu Sangui Mansion.

Wu Sanfu hurriedly walked into the warm pavilion, and said to Wu Sangui and Wu Sanfeng, who were sitting around the pit: "Big brother, second brother, the spies sent have come back, and they all inquire clearly!" ”

Wu Sanfeng said urgently: "Tell me quickly, what is the result of the battle of Jining?" ”

Wu Sanfu muttered: "Second brother guessed right, Jiannu was defeated, and it was a fiasco!" The 60,000 Jurchen Eight Banners and 180,000 Mongolian cavalry were actually wiped out by Wang Pu's less than 40,000 Central Army in Jining! ”

"What!?" Wu Sanfeng lost his voice and said, "The whole army is destroyed? ”

"Isn't that right?" Wu Sanfu spread his hands and said, "Now that Wang Pu's main force of the Central Army has been stationed in Yanjing, I heard that even Shanhaiguan has been recaptured. ”

"I really didn't expect it." Wu Sanfeng said awe-inspiringly, "The Central Army of the Ming Dynasty is so powerful!" ”

"Oh yes." Wu Sanfu said again, "The spy also brought back another news, I heard that the red lady of the Henan bandits, the young widow who had just died not long after her husband, actually hooked up with Wang Pu, a white-eyed wolf, and the red lady, a slut, was in love with the emperor, and she actually wanted to take the Henan army to accept the court's recruitment." ”

"What, the Henan Army wants to accept the imperial court's recruitment?" Wu Sanfeng was taken aback when he heard this, and said to Wu Sangui, "Second brother, now that the central army has reached Yanjing, and the Henan army of the Red Lady plans to accept the recruitment of the imperial court, so our Wu family in Shanxi will be attacked on three sides, so it is better to retreat to the grassland as soon as possible, right?" ”

Wu Sangui waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's not busy, the Central Army will not attack Shanxi in a short period of time, at least not before the spring of next year." ”

Wu Sanfeng said: "Why is the second brother so sure? ”

Wu Sangui said: "Although the Central Army is powerful, they are not iron-clad, they will also be tired and sleepy, not to mention that the Central Army is equipped with a large number of firearms, and the ammunition consumption of firearms is very large, and the ammunition of the Central Army must be supplied from Nanjing, and the logistics supply line is too long, so before the supply is in place, the Central Army will definitely not launch another offensive." ”

Wu Sanfeng said: "Isn't there still the Henan Army of the Red Lady?" ”

"Henan Army?" Wu Sangui laughed and said, "The red lady and Wang Pu are in love with each other, and they want to take the Henan Army as a gift to Wang Pu, but the soldiers of the Henan Army may not be willing to agree, if nothing else, the Henan Army will soon collapse, big brother and third brother, look at it, the Henan Army will never accept the court's recruitment so simply." ”

Looking at Wu Sangui's confident expression, Wu Sanfu asked suspiciously, "Second brother, you already have an arrangement?" ”

"It's hard to say right now." Wu Sangui said, "But there will be news soon." ”

■■■

Yanjing, the Ten Princes' Mansion.

The main force of the Central Army of the Ming Dynasty has been stationed in Yanjing, and the Ten Princes' Mansion has become Wang Pu's temporary line.

To say that Wang Pu is also the fiancé of Princess Changping [because Wang Pu has revised the Daming Law, the legal age of marriage for men and women has been raised to twenty and eighteen years old respectively, and Princess Changping is only seventeen years old this year, so she can't marry Wang Pu], and living in the Ten Wangfu as him is not overdue.

At this time, the large number of defeated troops in Shandong, Henan, and Beizhi provinces had been basically wiped out, and most of the remaining small defeated troops had taken refuge in the deep mountains and old forests.

At this point, the battle of Jining was completely over, and the two provinces of Shandong and Beizhi were also completely recovered.

However, it is a pity that these two originally extremely prosperous provinces have almost become barren land at this time, Shandong is better, and the three provinces of Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou in the east have suffered relatively light damage because they are far away from the battlefield, and the casualties of the people are not large.

But Beizhili has completely become a place where "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles"!

Before Jiannu entered the customs, the entire Beizhili had a population of more than 5 million, but by the end of the Jining War, the total population of the entire Beizhili had plummeted to less than 500,000, and the original population of Yanjing City was more than 300,000, but now it is less than 30,000! About 2 million of them fled to Henan, nearly 500,000 to Nanzhili, and the remaining 1.5 million people all died tragically under the butcher's knife of Jiannu!

The economic production of the entire Beizhili and the three prefectures of Yanzhou, Dongchang and Jinan in Shandong has been completely destroyed, and Jiannu committed heinous atrocities in the Central Plains, Wang Pu led the central army from Jining all the way north to Yanjing, and along the way he encountered only one populated market town, and there was only one family left in the whole town, and the family was still spared because he hid in the mountains.

Just after Wang Pu arrived in Yanjing, the new governor of Beizhi Qu Shiyun actually arrived in Yanjing, nearly 3,000 miles away, Qu Shiyun actually only took more than half a month to arrive, an average of nearly 200 miles a day, such a speed can only be galloped by horse, which is unimaginable for a civil official, which shows how eager Qu Shiyun rushed to Beizhi to take office.
