Chapter 298: Silent Morale

More and more corpses are gathered together, most of them are incomplete corpses, some women's corpses are particularly frightening, people can't bear to look at it, Zheng Jiajun's soldiers, should have gone through countless battles, used to seeing dead and bloody, but some soldiers still can't help it, in the process of cleaning up the corpses, few people speak, but there is a kind of anger gathered in the hearts of all the soldiers, this is a terrifying anger, once it erupts, it will probably destroy a qiē.

Zheng Xunrui silently watched this qiē, he also had anger in his heart, but everyone will be angry, the city is only inhabited by ordinary people, unarmed ordinary people, when they raise the butcher knife, when facing these people, it is no longer an army, it is a group of beasts, especially the corpses of countless children, which makes people feel complete cold and endless anger.

After the golden tartars entered the customs and plundered, mainly money and population, the principle of their looting is also clear, what is needed is young and strong and women, children and old people will not want, children are too small, consume food, the old people have lost the ability to produce, and it is a burden to keep, so where they pass, all the children who are not as tall as the wheels of the carriage, and the old people whose beards have turned gray, are all killed, as for the women, obey them and let them vent their animal desires, may stay, Those who resist are to be killed after the waste.

I don't know what those cringe-inducing Ming army sergeants think of this kind of beastly behavior, perhaps fear has made these sergeants who are responsible for protecting their homes and defending the country numb their nerves and lose their courage.

Zheng Jiajun stayed in Daxiong County for a day, the purpose of which was to collect the corpse. Those who were lucky to survive were found, Zheng Jiajun could only leave them some food, and the rest could not do anything, whether they could survive it depended on whether these people's lives were great.

The process of marching was also silent. No one spoke, but from the eyes of many soldiers, you can see the raging anger, and this anger is quickly transformed into morale, the morale that is indomitable and fearless.

Along. At any time, he can see the destroyed villages and towns, the broken walls and mutilated corpses, and occasionally the people who have no minds, which makes Zheng Xunrui feel as if he has entered hell.

Wang Xiaoer had already led some of the scouts to investigate. Zheng Xunrui wrote a letter to Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian in Tongzhou, he originally wanted to respect Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian, after all, the two of them were soldiers and horses representing the imperial court and the governor of King Qinqin in Beijing, if the two had any orders, he would still obey them, but the miserable people who were lonely and helpless made him completely change his mind. He will not obey the command of Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian, there are so many guards in the land of Gyeonggi, what are these sergeants doing. Seeing the people being slaughtered, but not daring to fight, being a turtle with a shrunken head, what kind of soldier is this.

Zheng Xunrui's current concern is the information that Wang Xiaoer has detected, although his heart is full of anger. But he won't act rashly, after all, this time the opponent is the Houjin Tartar. Houjin Tartar, who has strong combat effectiveness, was a little careless. Not only could he not be able to hit the Houjin Tartars, but Zheng Jiajun might also follow in.

Anger can't sway feelings, the more the enemy is present, the more you need to be calm, this is a qualified general.

Starting from Daxiong County and passing through Wen'an County, the same tragic scene appeared in front of many soldiers.

Wen'an County fell three days earlier than Daxiong County, and when the Zheng family soldiers arrived here, some people had already begun to clean up the corpses, and these people looked at the Zheng family soldiers with indifferent eyes, even with a hint of hatred.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army endured this qiē silently, although they said that they rushed all the way to Gyeonggi, thinking of resisting the Houjin Tartars, but the Ming army in Gyeonggi, regardless of the life or death of the people, had already made the people desperate, and at this time, the people who could not bear the losses would certainly not have a good look.

On July 20, Zheng Jiajun arrived in Wuqing County.

Wuqing County did not encounter the attack of the Houjin Tatars, and it was one of the few Gyeonggi counties that was preserved.

The army did not enter the county seat of Wuqing, but set up camp outside the county seat.

Wang Xiaoer is back, and Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian's paperwork have also arrived, including 100,000 taels of silver.

For Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, the critical moment has come, once the intelligence is obtained and accurate analysis is made, Zheng Jiajun will start to fight with the Houjin Tartars, no matter how strong the Houjin Tartars are, Zheng Xunrui will not be afraid, and the soldiers of the Zheng Jiajun will not be afraid.

Although Ma Xianglin is not an officer of the Zheng Army, he is a hussar general enshrined by the emperor, and he will also participate in the combat deployment.

Wang Xiaoer had already reported the information detected, and Xu Wanghua also read out the documents of Zhang Fengyi and Gao Qiqian.

Everyone also discussed it for a while, and the unanimous decision was to hit the Houjin Tartar hard.

During the process of everyone's discussion, Zheng Xunrui never spoke, and looked at the map silently.

An hour later, everyone expressed their opinions, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui looked up at everyone and slowly spoke.

"The brutality of the Houjin Tartars, you have all seen it, I don't want to say more, but is this also another aspect of the show, that is, the army stationed in Gyeonggi did not dare to fight with the Houjin Tartars at all, regardless of the life and death of the people, in the letter between Lord Zhang and Gao Gonggong, there was no mention of the number of troops stationed in Tongzhou, but the scouts sent by Wang Xiaoer had already detected that the army stationed in Tongzhou was close to 100,000 people, so many people, they couldn't shrink back, and watched the Houjin Tartars kill the people, I don't really know what to say anymore. ”

"Azig and Abatai are very arrogant, this can't be blamed for their arrogance, they drove all the way in, they didn't encounter decent resistance, they fought even success, and wherever they went, they were able to easily break through the city, burn and loot."

"This is a shame on my Daming."

When Zheng Xunrui said this, everyone lowered their heads.

"Okay, let's not talk about the rest, the next thing everyone thinks about is one thing, how to defeat the Houjin Tartars."

"According to the intelligence, the 50,000 Houjin Tartars led by Abatai are only 30,000 left, and the remaining 20,000 people have already taken the looted money and population to the direction of Miyun and made peace with Azig, Abatai's courage is big enough, and he only led the 30,000 Houjin Tartars to attack Baodi County, and the letter from Lord Zhang confirmed the news, and the intelligence detected by Wang Xiaoer also proved the news."

"Abatai began to attack Baodi County on July 18, today is July 20th, three days have passed, I estimate that Abatai has taken Baodi County, that is to say, we rush to Baodi County, there is no meaning, even if we rush to Baodi County, what we see is the tragic scene of Daxiong County and Wen'an County, I think the soldiers of the Zheng family army are no longer willing to see such a scene."

"According to the information we obtained along the road, the attack of the Houjin Tartars was very rapid at the beginning, but the more they went to the back, the more they had no scruples, and the action was much slower, for example, when the Houjin Tartars captured Liangxiang Zhuozhou Dingxing and other places, after the looting, there was almost no stop, and when they captured Ansuxiong County and Anzhou, they stopped a little, and when they entered Shuntianfu again, and when they captured Wen'an County and Daxiong County, they stayed for a day respectively."

"The occurrence of such a thing proves that the Houjin Tartars have understood that although there are many Ming troops in Gyeonggi, they dare not fight, and they just retreat in the city, so the Houjin Tartars have enough time to plunder."

"Everyone, please see, the Houjin Tartars led by Azig have been stationed in the Miyun area, waiting for Abatai, the 50,000 Houjin Tartars led by Abatai, of which 20,000 have gone to the direction of Miyun to meet the peace, and the only 30,000 Houjin Tartars led by Abatai have captured Baodi County, from Baodi to the city in the middle of Miyun, only Sanhe County has not been taken, I estimate that Abatai's next goal is Sanhe County."

"The battlefield of the Zheng family army should be arranged between Baodi County and Sanhe County, the arrogant Houjin Tartars would never have imagined that they would encounter an ambush, let alone that an army would dare to fight with them, and they would fight in the field, which is the advantage of our Zheng Jiajun, and it is also one of the necessary conditions for us to defeat the Houjin Tartars."

"We are running out of time, we must set up an ambush in the shortest possible time, including choosing a place to set up an ambush, including making a good deployment, including a rapid march to the place of ambush, etc., I think it is not difficult for Zheng Jiajun to do this."

"This is our first battle with the Houjin Tartars, there is a saying in the capital, specifically talking about the Houjin Tartars, what Jurchen is not satisfied with the invincible, you will tell the Zheng Jiajun and every soldier of the Yulin Border Army in the original text of this sentence, let them appreciate this sentence, I want the Houjin Tartars to know, in front of the Zheng Jiajun, don't say tens of thousands of Houjin Tartars, that is, hundreds of thousands of Houjin Tartars, and don't want to be arrogant in front of Zheng Jiajun."

"I also need to remind you that strategically, we can despise the Houjin Tartars, but in terms of tactics, we must attach great importance to the Houjin Tartars, we must absolutely overwhelm the Houjin Tartars in terms of morale, including murderous spirit, but our tactical arrangements must be precise and complete, and the slightest mistake is not allowed."

"The specific operational deployment will be drawn up tonight, you must fight in strict accordance with the deployment, this first battle, we must win, we must make the Houjin Tartar pay a heavy price, I want Huang Taiji to know that his accession to the throne and the title of emperor is a disaster for himself, and now is the time for the disaster to appear."
