Chapter 565: Must Give Up

However, in more than ten days, Zheng Jiajun won four major victories in a row, exterminating nearly 50,000 Houjin Tartars, exterminating nearly 20,000 Han troops, and capturing Houjin's Anping Beile Dudu, Gongshun Wang Kong Youde and Huaishun Wang Geng Zhongming, such a record, not only many soldiers of Zheng Jiajun were surprised, but even Zheng Xunrui felt a little incredible.

The number of casualties of the Zheng Jiajun was not very large, nearly 6,000 people were killed in battle, and some of the seriously wounded officers and men were recuperating in Baoding Fucheng and Gaoyang County, and the overall combat effectiveness of the army was not greatly affected.

The fighting spirit of the soldiers has been reached, and a kind of idea of annihilating the Golden Tartars after entering the pass has spread among the army, especially after the nearly 10,000 Houjin Tartars who entered the city were wiped out with the lowest casualties, there are many soldiers who ask for battle, and the general Zheng Kaitao is very annoyed because the artillery battalion was not able to participate in the battle, and found Zheng Xun Ruihe, saying that the combat artillery battalion behind must participate.

There is a lot of money and food seized, including a large number of them, if you look at the harvest in this regard, Zheng Jiajun has made a lot of money, but after so many years of fighting, from Zheng Xunrui to every soldier, they are not particularly concerned about money, what they really care about is how many Houjin Tartars can be exterminated.

The trouble was still the people who were plundered by the Houjin Tartars, especially the nearly 4,000 people who were escorted in.

The homes of these people have been completely destroyed, and it is a dead end to go back, plus there are still nearly 90,000 Houjin Tartars in Beizhili, and the west is not particularly safe, Zheng Jiajun has exterminated so many Houjin Tartars and Han troops, it is expected that Dolgon will go crazy after knowing the situation, so these people cannot leave for the time being.

In terms of grain and grass, there is no need to worry for the time being, Zheng Jiajun has captured enough grain and grass to temporarily feed these people.

There were more than 600 Houjin Tartars who once escorted the captives of the Houjin Tartars to these people, and as a result, they were beaten to death by the people, and they may have completely vented their grievances in their hearts. The mood of these people is quite stable, and many of them are young and strong and implored to join the Zheng family's army.

It is said that the homeland is difficult to leave, and the first thing these people think of is not to return to their hometown, but to join the Zheng family's army. It can be seen that their hatred of the Houjin Tartars has reached an unprecedented height and depth. conAd1();

The biggest headache for Zheng Xunrui is these women who were robbed by the Houjin Tartars, and their fate is undoubtedly the most tragic.

Chastity is greater than heaven, homes are destroyed, and relatives are killed. Being insulted by themselves has made these women lose the courage to live, the Zheng family soldiers are all men, and they can't really comfort these women, in less than a day, dozens of women have tried to commit suicide, but fortunately, the sergeant on guard found out in time.

The sergeants who cared for the women were sympathetic to their tragic plight, but their nerves were highly strained, and they were always on the lookout for them. The food sent was rarely moved, and many of the women looked numb, almost like the walking dead.

In fact, such a situation has appeared a long time ago, when Zheng Jiajun defeated Du Du, he also rescued a lot of women, these women were temporarily guarded in Baoding City, and the demeanor of those women at that time was the same.

After thinking about it carefully, Zheng Xunrui made a plan and asked these women to cook and wash for the soldiers of the Zheng family. These women must find something to do before they can be transferred, otherwise if this continues, even if more soldiers are sent to protect them. It is inevitable that some women will commit suicide.

Zheng Jinhong and others felt that this was a bit incredible, for a long time, Zheng Jiajun's cooking was done by the soldiers themselves, but don't underestimate the cooking matters, before every battle. Soldiers generally have to eat at the end of the day or even earlier, and in the process of fighting, sometimes they have to send the prepared meals to the position, and most of the time they wait for the end of the battle, and the soldiers will eat hot meals immediately.

Zheng Xunrui asked a woman to take care of the cooking, which was an unprecedented situation, and there were never women in the army of the Ming Dynasty.

However, Zheng Xunrui has made a decision to let these women enter the Zheng family army, and a special decision has been made to set up a women's battalion in the Zheng family army, and these female soldiers also participate in the training on weekdays, but the training method and intensity are different, and the women's battalion is mainly responsible for the logistics of the army.

No one would have thought that Zheng Xunrui's move would usher in a new era in the army, and a few years later, it has become everyone's consensus that the army will have female soldiers. conAd2();

This headache task was handed over to Li Yan to deal with, the reason why Zheng Xunrui handed over this task to Li Yan was actually because he thought of the Red Lady, after Zheng Jiajun returned to Huai'an, it should be the best choice to let the Red Lady lead the women's barracks.

After Li Yan accepted the task, he also understood Zheng Xunrui's decision, Li Yan completely agreed with Zheng Jiajun's decision to set up a women's barracks, and his views were still a little different from others, after all, he had fought hand in hand with the Red Lady.

Zheng Xunrui's move has brought about the effect of intention.

After Li Yan announced the news in front of many women, most of the women were no longer numb, they left tears in their eyes, and they expressed their willingness to join the Zheng family's army.

The courage of the soldiers of the Zheng family, they saw with their own eyes, the strict discipline of the soldiers of the Zheng family, they also empathize, in fact, in the battle, women are the most pitiful, there are many times not only become the tools of the Houjin Tartars and Liukou to vent their beastly desires, and even become the object of invasion by the imperial army, but the soldiers of the Zheng family army are completely different, no one dares to touch a finger of them, and no one scolds and despises them.

Women who have been insulted are difficult to raise their heads all their lives, even if they return to their hometowns, it is difficult for their families and clans to accept them, speaking of which, these women are cornered, and it can be said that being able to join the Zheng family army at this moment can be said to be the best way out.

Li Yan didn't expect that the decision made by Zheng Xunrui instantly sobered up these women from their numbness, at least they looked energetic, and no one thought about looking for death and life.

Wang Xiaoer finally returned to the team.

However, Wang Xiaoer, who returned, brought a major piece of information.

Officers above the rank of general of the Zheng Jiajun were once again concentrated.

"Wang Xiaoer, tell me the information you have detected again, everyone listen carefully."

Zheng Xunrui's expression was very serious.

Wang Xiaoer pondered for a while, and slowly spoke, it turned out that the information he brought was that the Houjin Tartars besieging Yanqing Prefecture had all been evacuated and came in the direction of Changping. conAd3();

After Wang Xiaoer finished speaking, the room was very quiet.

The soldiers of the Zheng family army have actually begun to prepare to exterminate the 20,000 Houjin Tatars under the command of Tulai Ji again, according to the calculation of time, Tulai should not be far from Qingxian, which indicates that the battle is afraid to start again, and all the soldiers are high-spirited, looking forward to another defeat after the Jin Tatars.

But the situation suddenly changed.

Zheng Xunrui looked at everyone and spoke.

"The emperor and the court thought that Dolgu was heading towards the capital, and they couldn't help but think too highly of themselves, and Dolgon was not heading towards the capital, but towards Hejian Mansion."

"Dolgon finally came to his senses, I estimate that after he learned that Du Du and Kong Youde were defeated by the Zheng army, his first reaction was to ask Turai and Geng Zhongming and others to lead the army, quickly leave Hejian Mansion, and rush to Yanqing Prefecture to make peace with him, after the two armies reconciled, there are still more than 100,000 people under Dolgon's command, and the strength is strong enough."

"Du Du and Geng Zhongming's, reminded Dolgon, let him realize that the situation is wrong, after the Zheng Jiajun defeated Du Du and Kong Youde, they did not appear in Yanqing Prefecture and Changping Prefecture for a long time, which let Dolgon know that the Zheng Jiajun must have entered Hejian Mansion and exterminated the army under the command of Tulai and Geng Zhongming."

"Under such circumstances, Dolgon made a decision to lead a large army in the direction of Hejian Province to try to meet Turai and Geng Zhongming, Dolgon is indeed smart enough to make this decision quickly, it is not easy."

"Hmph, the cabinet doesn't think much about it, it's time now, how can Dolgon still have the heart to attack the capital, is he dizzy or has a brain problem, Dolgon at this moment, the biggest idea is to respond to Tulai and Geng Zhongming to minimize the loss, and then he is afraid that he will leave Beizhili in disgrace." ……

When Zheng Xunrui began to analyze accurately, everyone listened carefully.

The Zheng family army is facing a major moment again, on the one hand, the 20,000 Houjin Tatars led by Tulai are coming towards Qingxian, and the pocket of the ambush has long been prepared, on the other hand, a large number of Houjin Tatars and Han troops led by Dolgon are coming towards Hejian Mansion day and night, at this time, I don't know what choice Zheng Xunrui will make.

Soon, Zheng Xunrui solved everyone's conjectures.

"Two hours later, the army left Qingxian County, evacuated in the direction of Hejian Fucheng, rushed to Hejian Fucheng today, and entered Baoding tomorrow."

"There are 70,000 Houjin Tartars and Han troops under the command of Dolgon, and there are 20,000 Houjin Tartars under the command of Turai, the total number has reached 90,000, which is double the strength of the Zheng family's army, and they are flanking from front to back, the Zheng family army does not dare to guarantee that it will defeat Turai in the shortest possible time, and completely annihilate the 20,000 Houjin Tartars, once Dolgon arrives, the Zheng family's army will be in a very passive environment, I can't take this risk."

"It's a pity, the imperial army is unreliable, if the more than 100,000 troops led by Hong Chengchou can rush to Hejian Mansion to participate in the war, it will be an excellent complete extermination of the Houjin Tartars, such a fighter is hard to find through the ages."

Zheng Xunrui's face was yearning, but it was more regretful and cautious. (To be continued.) )
