Chapter 145: The forage is lost
Ning Wan said: "Master, Chongzhen Xiao'er has today, and that is also the evil fruit he planted. ”
"Oh?" "What do you mean by that?" ”
Ning Wan said: "The first two times I broke through the Qing Dynasty soldiers and entered, Chongzhen Xiao'er issued an edict, and the soldiers and horses of the world suddenly gathered in Beijing, which can be said to be a hundred responses, but now the edict has been issued for more than half a month, and there have not been soldiers and horses all the way into King Qin, does the master think this is accidental?" Why is that? ”
Dolgon said, "Yes, why is that? ”
"Because King Qin in Beijing will not end well!" Ning finished me and said, "Yuan Chonghuan entered the king of Jingqin, and was finally sentenced to death, and Zhu Lujian, the king of Tang, raised the army of the king of Qin, but was imprisoned for three years. ”
Fan Wencheng said: "Really speaking, this is not all Chongzhen's fault, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty implemented the national policy of using literature to control the military, and overindulged those who don't understand anything but are self-righteous readers, and you can only blame those bureaucrats who only know that the party is the same and disagreeable, and they can't do anything right, let alone do it well." ”
Speaking of the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng is full of complaints, although he is also a scholar, but he is very dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's national policy of using literature to control the military, if it were not for the fact that he has been disappointed in the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not put a good study to be improper, but he went to Jiannu as a slave.
As he spoke, Fan Wencheng's expression began to become excited, and then said, "Why did Yuan Chonghuan die? Master, to say something disrespectful to the first emperor, Yuan Chonghuan actually did not die under the anti-plot of the first emperor, but died in the hands of those cowardly but self-righteous imperial historians of the Ming Dynasty, and they had to find a scapegoat for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty! ”
"Why was Tang King Zhu Lujian imprisoned for three years? It's not that Chongzhen Xiao'er really thinks that he wants to rebel, Zhu Lujian is under the slander of those imperial historians, because someone wants to take advantage of that incident to raise a big prison and eradicate the stumbling blocks in his career. ”
"The national crisis is at hand, but these dull officials of the Ming Dynasty only think about shirking their responsibilities, only thinking about intrigue and fighting with the party, how can there be hope for such a country? How could such a dynasty not perish? ”
Ning Wan quickly turned his eyes away, pretending not to hear anything.
Dolgon also looked embarrassed, Huang Taiji induced Emperor Chongzhen to kill Yuan Chonghuan with a counter-plan, and got rid of the great trouble in the Qing Dynasty, which has been recorded in the history of the Great Qing Kingdom, but people with brains like Dolgon, Ganglin, and Xifu all know that it is not true, and at that time it was just to create momentum for Huang Taiji and improve his prestige among the children of the Eight Banners.
"Ahem......" Dolgon coughed and had to interrupt Fan Wencheng, "Mr. Wencheng, you can just talk to this king about what you said just now, but you must not tell others." ”
"Don't worry, master." Fan Wencheng vented, his expression quickly calmed down again, and said respectfully, "The slave will never talk to anyone other than the master." ”
"Haha." Dolgon laughed twice, and then said, "These stupid officials who don't know anything and don't understand anything, but they are self-righteous and mediocre officials are a disaster for the country and the people for the Ming Dynasty, but for our Qing Dynasty, it is a great help, if they don't stir up the huge Ming Empire, the people are not happy, how can our Qing Dynasty prosper Liaodong?" ”
"That's that, that's." Ning Wan smiled and said, "At the moment, there is no army rushing to King Yanjing Qin, Chongzhen Xiao'er is alone, how can only 350,000 Beijing battalions block the onslaught of our Qing army?" Master, once Yanjing is broken by our Qing army, the Ming Dynasty will be like a giant who has lost its head, no matter how large the body is, it will be paralyzed in an instant, and then we will be able to eat it slowly, bite by bite! ”
"Yes." Fan Wencheng also took the opportunity to admonish, "Master, the slave and the father-in-law are still the same sentence, after defeating Yanjing this time, there is no need to go back to Guanwai, anyway, Shengjing has been destroyed, why didn't the master move the capital to Yanjing?" The master doesn't have to worry about the ancestors of Liaoxi and Wu Sangui, as long as Yanjing is defeated, the slave can persuade the nephew and uncle to come to surrender obediently with their incorruptible knowledge, and then the entire Liaoxi, as well as the Jingshi, will be included in the territory of the Great Qing Kingdom! ”
"This ......" Dolgon quickly avoided the topic, and said to him left and right, "Let's talk about something else, such as how to break through Yanjing City, I don't know what the two gentlemen think?" ”
Dolgon was already a very far-sighted person among the Jiannu, but moving the capital to Yanjing was so crazy for him that he didn't even think about it, no matter how the two hardcore Han Jian, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, assured him, that he wouldn't dare to make such a crazy decision easily.
Although the army of Jiannu often beat the army of the Ming Dynasty to the ground, but in the subconscious of Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty is still a huge giant, and all the Jiannu feel that no matter how sharp their minions are, it is impossible to completely tear the giant of the Ming Dynasty apart, which is absolutely impossible!
"Ugh."
Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan were relatively speechless, with disappointed faces.
The reason why the two of them lobbied Dolgon so eagerly to stay in Yanjing was actually selfish, both of them were eager to prove their abilities, they wanted to make those "people" who had excluded and suppressed them kneel at their feet, wagging their tails at them and begging for mercy, they wanted "those people" to know that they could also achieve great things.

Datong.
The Ming army's gunpowder bureau was racing against time to make gunpowder, while Li Yan's thieves were training intensively, both sides were in full swing to prepare for the big battle, while the Jiannu outside the city was ignorant of this, and was still worried about the food and grass that was about to run out.
The northern camp of Jiannu City.
Xifu, Sony, Turai, Tan Tai, Leng Seng Ji and other elites of the two yellow flags have gathered in the Haoge tent, at this time Haoge is already anxious like an ant on a hot pot, is pacing back and forth in the big tent rapidly, sent to plunder the supply of Tazhan did not send troops to send back grain and grass, which made Haoge sleep.
The food in the camp is only enough for two days!
"This tower." Hauge Huoran paused and scolded fiercely, "What a waste, with eight thousand cavalry, you can't even get a little food." ”
When Hauge was furious, a Goshha suddenly ran in, knelt on the ground and said: "Master, just after returning from the horse, I found a large Ming army fifty miles west of Datong, and it is still ...... Thousands of carts are also being held! ”
"What?" Haoge's eyes widened, and he asked in a loud voice, "Brigade Ming Army?" ”
The rest of Turai, Tan Tai and others also changed their faces.
Xifu was overjoyed and said, "Master, good thing! ”
Haoge frowned and said: "The reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived, it's a good thing, what a fart!" ”
"Master, that's a good thing." Xifu analyzed, "Master, do you think, if it is really reinforcements, will there be thousands of carts in a hurry?" Isn't it obvious that this Ming army is going to transport grain and grass to Datong! Master, our grain and grass are almost unbearable, and the city is almost unable to hold on, as long as we intercept this batch of grain and grass, hehe, Datong will be over! ”
"Huh." Hauge nodded, "It seems like that's really the case for you to say that." ”
The rest of Turai, Tan Tai, Leng Seng Ji and others also showed excitement, things are really like Xifu's analysis, so doesn't it mean that the breakthrough of Datong is waiting?
"Say." Hauge glared back at Nagoshha and asked, "How many people are in this Ming army?" ”
Goshha said: "There are probably more than 10,000 people. ”
"More than 10,000 people?" Hauge asked Hefford, "Sifford, how many cavalry do you think we should send to intercept him?" ”
Xifu said: "Master, all the elites of Datong Town have gathered Wang Pu in Datong City, and the rest of the people who are guarding the cities everywhere are just a few rabble, and four thousand iron horsemen are enough." ”
Xifu made such a judgment is not unusual at all, if Wang Pu hadn't gathered all the elites in Datong, how could he have blocked the onslaught of Jiannu at any cost?
"Okay." Hauge said, "Turai and Leng Monk listen to orders. ”
Turai and Leng Seng hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said, "The slave is here." ”
Haoge said: "Each led two thousand iron horsemen to intercept this batch of grain and grass of the Ming army!" ”
"Wow!"
Turai, Leng Seng agreed with a bang and took the order.
■■■
Twenty miles west of Datong City.
Zhao Liujin is leading the border army to escort more than 1,000 carts to Datong City, most of these more than 1,000 carts are loaded with horse material, of course, there are dozens of carts of grain, more than 1,000 carts are lined up on the official road, tens of thousands of border troops escort them, and the formation is like a huge earthworm is slowly wriggling on the official road.
"It's too slow, you can't get to Datong if you walk like this until it's dark!"
In the huge convoy, Zhao Liujin frowned, and shouted to the captain of the personal soldiers beside him: "You immediately send someone to order the whole army, speed up the march, and you must rush to Datong before dark today." ”
"Report ......" Zhao Liujin's voice fell, and as soon as he rode a fast horse, he suddenly galloped back from the front, and began to roar bitterly from afar, "General, I found a brigade of Jiannu iron horsemen in front!" ”
"What?" Zhao Liujin gasped when he heard this, and said in a lost voice, "The brigade of Jiannu Iron Cavalry? ”
The fast horse quickly rushed to Zhao Liujin, and gasped: "General, Jiannu Iron Cavalry is coming here to kill." ”
"General, look, Jiannu cavalry!"
"Oh my God, it's really the Jiannu cavalry!"
When Zhao Liujin looked up in a hurry, he saw that the vast horizon in front of him had risen billowing smoke and dust, and a team of Jiannu iron horsemen wearing bright yellow armor swept over like a whirlwind and clouds, and they were the two yellow flag iron horsemen who were the most brave and good at fighting in the Jiannu Eight Banners!
"Damn, the slaves were all killed right under your nose, why didn't you come back until now, why did you go earlier? Yes!? Zhao Liujin scolded without any image, cut down the fast horse off the horse with a knife, and then roared hoarsely, "Hurry up and line up, line up!" Put all the big carts in a circle, in a circle! ”
More than 10,000 Datong border troops began to line up chaotically, trying to surround thousands of carts in a circle to form a car formation to block the impact of Jiannu, the Ming army did this when they encountered Jiannu in the field, and only by relying on the car formation could barely resist Jiannu's iron cavalry assault.
But this time, it's obviously too late!
Without waiting for the Datong border army to form a chariot formation, Jiannu had already been killed, and the Jiannu who rode forward was like a group of hungry tigers breaking into the flock, and fiercely killed into the chaotic border army array, the sword flashed, the blood sparkled and the blood flew, and the Datong border army with scattered military spirit, confused thoughts and no car array protection soon collapsed, and finally became a lamb to be slaughtered......
"It's over, it's all over."
Zhao Liujin looked at the soldiers of the border army who were driven by Jiannu, his face was pale, and his heart was like ashes, he never thought that the 10,000 multilateral army would be so vulnerable, it could be said that it would collapse at the touch of a button!
How did Zhao Liujin know that the border army at this time could no longer be compared with the border army in the Wanli and Apocalypse years.
The border army in the Wanli and Apocalypse years was the real elite, although the equipment was poor, it could be trained well, and it dared to fight, no matter how ferocious the enemy was, they at least dared to fight! At this time, the border army could no longer be called an army, because they could not receive military salaries for a long time, and the officers and men of the border army could only stretch out their hands to the people, and they had already completed the transformation from an official army to a "bandit army" in a very short period of time.
Such a "bandit army" is still very different from the real bandits and thieves, they have one of the most typical characteristics, the scourge of the common people is more fierce than the tiger, but if they encounter the enemy, whether it is a thief or a slave, even if it is a group of thieves, they can slip faster than rabbits!
When the Jiannu soldiers pressed the border, Wang Pu was not in a hurry to transfer these border troops back to Datong, it was for this reason that these "bandits" were transferred back to Datong, and they could not strengthen Datong's defense, not to mention, maybe it would be bad! In the end, Wang Pu also sent these "bandits" to Datong Left Guard.
Zhao Liujin expected that such a border army could withstand the assault of the Jiannu Iron Cavalry, which was obviously a fool's dream.
