The bloody night is finally over.

There were originally more than 30,000 old and young women and children living in Shengjing City, of which more than 20,000 escaped from the city, and the remaining more than 10,000 people all died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Ming army, including at least 2,000 Jiannu teenagers, they have never had the opportunity to grow into brave and good warriors, when the sun rises again, the entire Shengjing City has become a Shura blood prison.

The streets were littered with the corpses of Jiannu, including old people, women, and children.

Except for the Imperial Palace in the north and the Prince's Baylor Mansion on both sides, most of the rest of the city has been plunged into a sea of fire, and the thick black smoke soars upward, which can be clearly seen dozens of miles away.

Wang Pu's family has taken full control of Shengjing City.

The jade seal has been obtained, Jiannu's Prince Li Daishan, Zheng Prince Jierharang, and the two favorite concubines of the slave chief Taiji, Hai Lanzhu and Bumu Butai, have all become Wang Pu's prisoners, it is conceivable that if Wang Pu can return to Daming with Yuxi and these four captives, the entire Ming Empire will cheer for him Wang Pu, and the defeat of Songshan will be wiped out.

According to the original plan, let the brothers have a full meal and a good night's sleep, and this evening should be transferred to Korea, and when Huang Taiji received the news of the fall of Shengjing and sent a large army to help, Wang Pu and his family were afraid that they had already crossed the Yalu River.

"Good news, General!"

When Wang Puzheng was looking for someone to bring Xiao Qi, Scarface and Big Beard to discuss, the Big Beard came by himself and said loudly: "General, great news, hahaha......"

Because the action went smoothly, Wang Pu was also in a pretty good mood at this time, and asked with a smile: "Bearded, what makes you happy like this?" ”

The bearded man said excitedly: "General, what do you suppose the brothers found in the palace of Jiannu, the prince, and the Baylor Mansion?" ”

Wang Pu asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Ginseng! The best old ginseng is piled up like a mountain, and there are tens of thousands of catties to say the least! The bearded man danced and said, "There are also goose eggs-sized Dongzhu, dozens of large boxes, and a room full of gold, silver, mink, tiger skin, bear skin, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., the villain has never seen so much gold and silver jewelry when he grows so big, general, this time he really made a fortune." ”

Liaodong was originally a treasure land, rich in products, ginseng, mink, baola grass produced in Changbai Mountain, as well as the special product of the Heilongjiang River basin Dongzhu can be called a rare treasure, coupled with a large number of gold and silver treasures captured from the Central Plains by the Qing soldiers four times before and after, it is completely possible to imagine the wealth of the palace of Huang Taiji and the princes and the Baylor Mansion.

The bearded man said diligently: "General, if you transport all these rare treasures, gold, silver and jewelry back to the Central Plains, the villain estimates that it will be worth 20 million taels of silver." ”

Wang Pu's heart sank when he heard this.

20 million, this is not a small amount, at that time, the annual income of the Ming Empire was only 5 million taels of silver!

Gold and silver are all good things, everyone loves them, and Wang Pu also likes them, but now is not the time to be greedy for money, I really want to bring these heavy gold and silver, I am afraid that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Manchu Dynasty should catch up before reaching the Yalu River.

"Tell the brothers that each person is only allowed to carry two ginsengs, three pearls and ten taels of gold, and burn the rest, and throw away all those who can't be burned!" Wang Pu said coldly, "If anyone dares to carry gold, silver and jewelry without permission in disobeying military orders, once they are found out, don't blame General Ben for turning his face and not recognizing people." ”

"Huh? Burn it!? The bearded man's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe his ears, "General, that's the old ginseng of Changbai Mountain, and those Dongzhu, that's a rare treasure, the high-ranking officials and rich people in the Central Plains can't buy one even if they have money, if we transport these treasures back to the Central Plains, we will make a fortune." ”

"Get rich, do you think about getting rich?" Wang Pu frowned and said, "You don't have to think about it, how heavy do these things weigh and how much space do they occupy?" To transport all these treasures, gold and silver antiques back to the Central Plains, do you know how many horses and how many cars are needed? How many more brothers do you need to escort? Do you know that after taking these burdens, our march speed will be greatly slowed down, and if the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry catches up, none of us will want to return to Daming alive. ”

"Then return so much treasure to Jiannu for nothing? General, the villain is unwilling. ”

"If you don't even have a surname, what's the use of bringing these rare treasures? Think about it! ”

The bearded man was speechless when he was scolded by Wang Pu, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was still unwilling to give up these wealth.

"General." Zhen Youcai, who was following behind Wang Pu, suddenly said, "The villain has the best of both worlds, not only don't worry about these treasures becoming a burden, but also won't let these treasures fall into the hands of Jiannu again." ”

"What's the solution?" Without waiting for Wang Pu to ask, the bearded man had already asked urgently, "Say it quickly." ”

Zhen Youcai touched the two dog trumpets on his lips, and said: "Ginseng, Dongzhu, animal skins, calligraphy and paintings, these things are light and easy to carry, you can take them all, as for gold, silver and rare antiques, the weight is too heavy, to transport them all away, it will take thousands of carts, even if you can find enough carts in Shengjing City, you can't go fast with so many carts, just like the general said just now, if Jiannu's iron cavalry catches up, these treasures will return to Jiannu's hands again......

The bearded man said impatiently: "Oh, you just say what to do." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "The villain means to pack these gold, silver and jewelry into boxes and sink them all into the Hunhe River outside the city!" When there is a chance to come here again in the future to retrieve the treasure, what do the two generals think? ”

The bearded man nodded, "That's a good idea." ”

According to Wang Pu's meaning, he directly threw away the gold and silver, but he also understood that it was too difficult to get the bearded man and his brothers to do this, and through the * captivity of Shengjing, the beast surnames of these family members had been completely mobilized, and if it was overstimulated, it would not lead to a mutiny, which would be a big deal.

"Okay, then do it." In desperation, Wang Pu could only compromise, "Bearded, you take people to pack the gold, silver and antiques that have been searched, and sink them all into the Hunhe River before dark, and the remaining ginseng, Dongzhu and animal skins are evenly distributed, everyone has a share, if anyone dares to hide their own secrets or rob them with force, they will all be executed on the spot, and they will not be tolerated!" ”

"Yes."

The bearded man said yes and went off in high spirits.

■■■

Besides, Huang Taiji was worried about Concubine Chen, and only took Aobai, Tulai, Kubilong, Tazhan and other cronies and two hundred internal guards to Shengjing without stopping, and rushed into more than 300 miles in a day and night, and had already crossed the Liao River in the afternoon of the next day. However, just after crossing the Liao River, he met the eunuch sent by Zhezhe to Songshan to report the emergency, and after asking, Huang Taiji learned that there was a Ming army that attacked Shengjing, and now Shengjing has fallen.

Suddenly hearing this bad news, Huang Taiji couldn't believe his ears.

"What did you say?" Huang Taiji grabbed the eunuch's shirt and asked sharply, "The Ming army attacked Shengjing?" Shengjing has fallen? ”

The eunuch looked frightened and nodded vigorously.

"This can't be, this is absolutely impossible!" Huang Taiji shouted, "The Liaoxi Corridor is heavily blocked by more than 100,000 cavalry troops of my Qing Dynasty, Korea is already a subject country of my Qing Dynasty, and the Mongolian tribes have also belonged to my Qing Dynasty, and it is absolutely impossible to let the Ming army cross the border, so where did this Ming army come from?" Can it still be drilled out of the ground? ”

The eunuch looked pale and speechless.

"Even if the Ming army comes out of the ground, aren't there still 2,000 soldiers in the city?" The more Huang Taiji spoke, the more angry he became, and he was unconscious that blood was dripping from his nostrils again, and he yelled, "What are Dai Shan and Ji'er Harang eating?" Are the sixteen Hongyi cannons placed on the head of the city just decorations? I'm going to kill them, kill these two pieces of shit! ”

Huang Taiji was furious, and Ao Bai and others did not dare to persuade him.

It wasn't until Huang Taiji collapsed back on the soft couch because of excessive blood loss that the accompanying imperial doctor dared to come up to stop the bleeding for him, and Huang Taiji gradually began to calm down after lying on the soft couch for a while, and summoned the eunuch to the front again and asked: "The army that captured Shengjing is really the Ming army?" ”

The eunuch replied affirmatively: "It's the Ming army." ”

"Not the Mongols or the Koreans?"

"This group of Ming soldiers spoke Shanxi dialect to each other, and the Mongols and Koreans could not pretend to be them."

"How many are there?"

"I don't know."

"Where are Prince Li and Prince Zheng now?"

"I don't know, the slave only knows that Concubine Chen and Concubine Zhuang have been trapped in the city, and the queen has taken a few Gege and Brother to take refuge in the Horqin grassland."

Hearing that Concubine Chen had fallen into the hands of the Ming army, Huang Taiji suddenly felt a piercing pain, but he held back, waved his hand to the eunuch and said, "Okay, I know, you go down." ”

Huang Taiji also summoned the Yellow Flag Leader Tulai, Ta Zhan and the Yellow Flag Leader Ao Bai and Ji Bilong to him.

Turai said: "Your Majesty, since the Southern Ming barbarians have captured Shengjing, most of the forward battalions and Xiaocai battalions left in Shengjing have been wiped out, and now all the troops of the Great Qing Kingdom are all gathered on the Songshan front, and there is no army to adjust in Liaodong, so it is better to return to Songshan first, and it is not too late to transfer back the army from the Songshan camp and then counterattack Shengjing." ”

"Not busy." Huang Taiji said softly, "You have to find out first, where did this Ming army come from?" ”

Ao Bai said: "Most of them came from the sea, right?" ”

"That's not right." Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "I have set up more than a hundred eyeliners along the coastline, and if the Ming army comes from the sea, I will definitely know the news in advance." ”

Turai said: "That is from North Korea, anyway, it can't be from Mongolia or Liaoxi." ”

"Nope." Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "On the contrary, this Ming army came from Liaoxi. ”

"From Liaoxi?" Turai was puzzled and said, "The western Liaoning corridor has gathered more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom, and the movement of any Ming army cannot hide from our army's exploration horses, if this Ming army is really from Liaoxi, how can our army's exploration horses not know?" ”

Huang Taiji said: "If it is an army of more than 10,000 people, of course, it is impossible to hide from our army's horses, but if it is a small group of Ming troops with less than 1,000 people who secretly act in the dark, it will be difficult for our army's horses to be discovered, do you remember that on the way back to Shengjing, there are several post stations that have been destroyed, at that time we thought it was done by horse thieves outside the gate, and now it seems that this group of Ming troops did it, yes, it must be like this!" ”

As he spoke, Huang Taiji's tone became resolute.

Turai, Ao Bai and others were silent, but they admired Huang Taiji's meticulous analysis in their hearts.

Huang Taiji said: "Since this Ming army only has about 1,000 people, it is easy to do, and there is no need to recall the Eight Banners Army from the Songshan front line at this juncture." ”

Tulai, Ao Bai and others looked at each other and said, "But Your Majesty, there is indeed no army in Liaodong to recruit." ”

"No, there's an army." Huang Taiji's gaze suddenly turned to the north, and he said in a low voice, "Zhu Xili's sweat tent is in Changshan, Changshan is only more than a hundred miles away from Shengjing, and you can arrive in two hours." ”

[Manzhu Xili is the fourth brother of Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai, because his aunt Zhezhe and two younger sisters Bumu Butai and Hailanzhu have married Huang Taiji, so they have a very close relationship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. 】

Turai said: "The slave will send someone to Changshan." ”

Huang Taiji thought about it for a while, and felt that it was not safe to rely on the Mongols to recover Shengjing alone, and said to Tulai: "Send someone back to Songshan quickly, and let Prince Yu Duoduo lead the 5,000 cavalry with white flags to rush back to Shengjing immediately, and don't leak the news of the loss of Shengjing, so as not to affect the morale of the soldiers on the front line." ”

Turai said: "The slave understands. ”
