"Yes, Lord Wang, Engetu and the Ming army in charge of the broken war were defeated as soon as they came into contact, and now they are fleeing over here!"

"This bastard!" Hauge, who had become more impatient because of his father's illness in the past few days, had a fierce light in his eyes, threw the porcelain bowl in his hand to the ground, drew his long knife and stood up to get on the horse.

Seeing Hauge's angry appearance, Dolgon, who was slowly tasting a bowl of broth, raised his eyelids and said nothing. Duoduo, who was sitting next to him, did not make a sound at the corner of his mouth, and did not mean to stop it in the slightest.

"Stop!" An old voice rang out.

Hauge, who was about to get on the horse, stopped and glared at Dai Shan viciously and said loudly: "Big Baylor, do you still want to protect those cowards this time?" Don't stop me, I'm going to kill that shit!" ”

"I didn't protect them." Dai Shan's beard shook slightly, "Haoge, now that your life and death are uncertain, you are also a big boss, can you use your brains to do things!" Our army has been newly defeated, and now it is the time when we need everyone to work together to tide over the difficulties, but you want to kill people in order to vent your anger, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so? ”

"The consequences?" Haoge shouted with red eyes: "What can be the consequences, these minions have been beaten by the Ming Dog and are so frightened that they don't even have the courage to fight them and flee in all directions, what are such minions still left for!" ”

Hauge's temperament is very similar to Duoduo, brutal and brave, but Duoduo is lucky, he has an older brother who cares about him very much, and Dolgon helps him carry it when he causes trouble, and Hauge is not so good, as a big brother, Hauge has followed his father to fight in the north since he was a child, and Huang Taiji also gave him great hope, which invisibly gave him a lot of pressure. In addition, he has been repeatedly defeated by Yue Yang in recent years, and now his biggest backer is also unconscious due to serious illness, which makes his spirit close to the brink of collapse. By now, it's all erupted.

Looking at Haoge, who was already incoherent, Dai Shan sighed deeply and shook his head in disappointment, this son who was given high hopes by Huang Taiji was really far worse than his father, but if he could have half of Huang Taiji's ability, he would not say such stupid words.

Although Dai Shan really didn't want to care about Haoge's compulsion, he still couldn't bear to see Haoge offend all the princes of the Mongolian tribes, so he walked up to Haoge and shouted: "If you don't want to offend all the Mongolian banner lords and princes, you'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise I can guarantee that from now on, you will never have the opportunity to peep into the throne of your father Khan!" ”

Dai Shan's words poured cold water on Hauge's head like a scoop of cold water, calming down his already hot brain again, and he remembered it. Today's Qing Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes have become more and more closely connected, and Huang Taiji is now dying, himself

If you want to take over the power in the hands of your own Lao Tzu and ascend to the throne, support from Mongolia is indispensable, and if you go to Engetu at this time to settle accounts, then you will become the enemy of all Mongolian tribes.

Thinking of this, Hauge looked around, and immediately saw many leaders and princes of the Mongol tribes looking at him with unkind faces. He suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his head. He looked at Dai Shan with some gratitude, and slowly returned to his place and sat down again.

Seeing Haug sit down again, a hint of disappointment flashed in Dolgon's eyes, if it hadn't been for Daizen to stop Hauge. As long as Hauge killed a few fleeing Mongols in a fit of rage and even killed Engetu, then the matter would be a big deal, and these already panicked Mongol leaders would definitely not give up, and there would be a good show to watch at that time.

"It's a pity!" Duoduo on the side also muttered.

Daizen glanced at Dorgon meaningfully. Only then did he say: "Old Fourteen, the Ming army is coming soon, what should we do?" ”

Dorgon put down his chopsticks. wiped his mouth and said lightly, "What else can I do, send people to resist again, but this time I must send a warrior, and people like Engetu can't be sent anymore." ”

After Dolgon's words were finished, Dai Shan's face was also a little difficult to look at, and it was Dai Shan's opinion to send Engetu to block it, but he didn't expect Engetu to be so uncompromising, and he broke up before he had a few tricks with someone.

When Zheng Yongshan felt a little embarrassed, Yue Tuo stood up and said: "Amma, Prince Heshuo, let me do the task after the break, as long as I give me five thousand elites, I will never let the Ming army take a step beyond Lei Chi." ”

"You ......"

Everyone looked at Yue Tuo in surprise, it has always been a chore to break off the army for the army, and the risk here is very great, Yue Tuo, as the eldest son of Dai Shan, has a noble status, why did he suddenly take the initiative to ask for the army.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Yue Tuo just said lightly: "Ama, this time for the army is related to the life and death of our army, and the children are not at ease after others come to break it." ”

"You ......" Dai Shan sighed lightly, and finally had to agree to Yue Tuo's request, sent him five thousand elite cavalry with red flags, and gave him some instructions before letting him leave......

Yue Tuo led 5,000 cavalry to quickly leave the army and gallop towards the back, and soon ran into the cavalry led by Wu Chengfeng, and the two sides immediately started a big battle, and another battle was immediately set off on the originally calm grassland......

Soon, the communication soldiers immediately reported the news to Yue Yang, who was leading the army from behind: "Master Hou, General Wu is here to report, the Tartars have re-sent men and horses to block General Wu, it is said that the other party is led by Yang Wei General Yue Tuo, and a fierce battle is currently being fought!" ”

"It seems that the Tartars are really in a hurry? Even Yue Tuo personally went into battle. Yue Yang couldn't help but be a little surprised, thought about it and said: "Sue Wu Chengfeng Don't be in a hurry, don't fight to the death with the other party, wait until the army arrives." ”

Wu Chengfeng's temper Yue Yang knew, in case of a desperate fight, it was not what Yue Yang wanted to see if he was in a hurry to fight and defeat the Qing army.

I have to say how important it is to have an army that can have instant communication capabilities when fighting, when Yue Yang's order was transmitted to Wu Chengfeng's ears through guò radio waves, when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Wu Chengfeng, who had already killed a little up, quickly commanded the troops to withdraw after receiving the order, and Yue Tuo, who did not want to fight to the death with the Ming army, also took the opportunity to command the army to disengage, and then slowly retreated in the direction of the Qing army.

Two hours later, when Yue Yang led the army to arrive, he saw Wu Chengfeng and others treating the wounded. The first thing Yue Yang asked after finding Wu Chengfeng was: "How are the casualties of the troops?" ”

Wu Chengfeng returned without changing his face: "Lord Qiyu, we have killed more than thirty brothers. More than 100 people were seriously injured. ”

Yue Yang frowned: "So much!" ”

Wu Chengfeng hurriedly explained: "My lord, the casualties of the Tartars are several times that of mine, and this is thanks to the stab-proof clothing provided by the adults, which has greatly reduced the casualty rate of our army." ”

"Having said that, the Tartars' strength is several times that of me, and I still can't fight with the Tartars!" Yue Yang frowned, although the firecracker soldiers were incomparably powerful once they set up a formation, their maneuvering speed was too slow, even if they were desperately on the road, they could only walk seventy or eighty miles in a day, and this was still on the open grassland. If it is in the pass, those simple official roads can only be slower.

Yue Yang looked at the heavy armor on the soldiers, and muttered in his heart: "It would be great if all the armor of the troops could be replaced with stab-proof suits, so that the mobility of the troops could also be greatly improved." ”

In this way, the troops hurried all the way, coupled with the continuous harassment of the cavalry led by Wu Chengfeng, Yue Yang finally saw the cavalry led by Yue Tuo at noon on the third day.

At this time, Yue Tuo was also very helpless, although the Qing army was known for its mobility, but their number was too many, and the marching speed of the seventy or eighty thousand army was not fast at all. The Ming army on the opposite side is also not short of mules and horses, and they have been biting very tightly these days. And the opposing cavalry is also very cunning, they never fight with themselves, but only pestering themselves to constantly harass themselves with bows and crossbows, with only one purpose is to slow down their march. Now that their army has finally caught up, if he doesn't stop it, I'm afraid he will bite the tail of the Qing army, looking at the faint figure in the distance, Yue Tuo gritted his teeth. shouted: "The warriors of the Qing Dynasty, come with me, kill!" ”

Soon. The sound of rumbling horses' hooves galloped towards each other.

When Yue Tuo led the cavalry to the front of the Ming army, the Ming army had already lined up in formation, and many Qing cavalry began to fall from their horses in a roar.

Looking at the cavalry that kept falling in front of him, Yue Tuo, who was directing the battle in the back, sighed lightly, and was about to withdraw his horse, but found that at some point a group of cavalry under the banner of the Ming army had appeared around him.

How did Yueyuetuo's shrewdness not know that he had fallen into the Ming army's scheme, he immediately and decisively ordered a retreat, but how could the Ming army, which had been prepared, let their prey run away, and soon many Ming cavalry came up from all directions, and Yue Yang also led the fire soldiers of this formation to surround it, and an encirclement battle began.

On the battlefield, the sound of firecrackers, slashing and the neighing of war horses became one, and the two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and Yue Tuo and the only remaining more than 100 cavalry were firmly surrounded by many cavalry and foot soldiers in the center of the army.

At this time, a loud voice sounded in front of the formation: "Yue Tuo, my Hou Ye said, you are also a man, as long as you dismount and surrender immediately, our Hou Ye can promise to save your life!" ”

Looking at the Ming army coming from all directions, Yue Tuo's mood at this time was unusually calm, he looked at the dense Ming army around him and laughed: "I, Yue Tuo, am the dignified Baylor of the Qing Dynasty, how can I surrender to him, this lowly Ming dog!" If he is willing to dismount and surrender immediately, I, Yue Tuo, will definitely intercede with the Great Khan to protect his glory and wealth! ”

Yue Tuo's voice was very loud, and many Ming soldiers around him listened to it, which immediately aroused the anger of everyone.

Hu Laosan shouted: "Tartars should be damned!" Master Hou, let the last general go and capture him alive and let you dispose of him! ”

"No need!" Yue Yang shook his head, "Yue Tuo already has the will to die, a person like him will not surrender to us, let's fulfill him." ”

While he was talking, Yue Tuo had already led the remaining hundred or so cavalry to rush towards the cavalry on the right. In front of him, nearly a thousand cavalrymen raised their crossbows and pulled the frame, and hundreds of black-pressed arrows left the bowstring and shot quickly, and soon Yue Tuo and they were overwhelmed by these arrows.

In this battle, Yue Yang eliminated the broken troops led by Yue Tuo, after that, the Qing army could no longer stop a strong blockade, Yue Yang commanded more than 20,000 troops to divide, encroach and other ways to eat more than 30,000 horses one after another, when the Qing army withdrew to Shengjing, the original 780,000 horses were left less than 50,000 people. And Yue Yang was not greedy for merit, and when he pursued more than a hundred miles away from Shengjing, he led his troops to retreat.

A.D. 1639, the middle of May of the tenth year of Chongzhen. A news spread throughout the Ming Dynasty at an explosive speed, the loyal and brave Hou Yueyang led his troops to win a decisive battle with the Qing army outside the pass and won a complete victory, annihilating nearly 100,000 Qing troops, killing the enemy general Gushan Baylor, Yang Wei general Yue Tuo, the thief chief Taiji was defeated and dyed with heavy soldiers, and died on the way back, and the news shook the world.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Datong, who was in Datong and Yueyang's nominal boss, locked himself in his study for a whole day after hearing the news, and Lu Xiangsheng, who was busy suppressing bandits in Hubei, was also silent for a while after receiving the news, and did not make any comments on this matter. And the Daming officialdom was even more silent, and the Ming Dynasty suddenly fell into a strange state of silence.

After more than half a year of fermentation, the "Daming Times" has slowly penetrated from Jinling to the north, and developed to the south of the Yangtze River, due to the pro-people and inclusiveness of the "Daming Times", so that more and more people and those unsatisfactory readers have begun to like it, although many Donglin Party and Fuxing Society people have tried their best to boycott this newspaper, but under the powerful silver dollar offensive. It is still slowly but surely spreading to all parts of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although the Ming officialdom was silent about Yueyang's great victory, the news quickly spread to the ears of all strata and people in the Ming Dynasty.

"Da Ming is going to change the sky!"

These days, the news is being talked about everywhere in the capital. The capital is the center of the world, and the people have always had a tradition of talking about current affairs, and it is also the gathering place of the Ming scholars, and once there is any news, it will immediately spread throughout the city.

In a teahouse. A scholar in a green shirt said angrily: "The traitorous ministers are in charge, the feudal towns are rampant, and Yue Zhenghong is a Ming courtier. If you don't listen to the orders of the imperial court and don't obey the emperor's holy decree, you should be punished for sending troops outside the border without authorization! ”

"Brother Hou's words are different!" A scholar next to him retorted: "The loyal and brave marquis is the pillar of the country, he can resolutely lead the army to fight the enemy chieftain, which has shown his loyalty to the imperial court, and on the other hand, although the princes of our dynasty are all wonderful, and the article is also beautiful, but there is no benefit to the country and the people, on the other hand, although the loyal and brave marquis is in the name of the feudal town, but he gathers the displaced people to appease the people, pays the court taxes, and trains the army to kill the enemy. ”

This year is the triennial autumn examination, although it is only May, but the early entry into Beijing has been gathered in the capital, after getting the news, countless lifters are talking about the news, and among the many lifters, there is a lifter from Jinling is a big attack on Yueyang, the name of this lifter is Hou Fangyu.

Speaking of Hou Fangyu's hatred for Yueyang, it was very deep, although Hou Fangyu was only dissatisfied with Yueyang, but it was just that, but with Yueyang founded the "Daming Times" in Jinling, he attacked the Donglin Party, and in the face of Yueyang's use of newspapers and periodicals to criticize himself, the Donglin Party was not indifferent, and they also ran a "Ming Pao" and began to color Yueyang, but because the format of the "Ming Pao" was rigid and rigid, its content was too detached from reality, so even if there was strong support from the Donglin Party, in the Under the powerful offensive of the "Daming Times", it was still losing one after another. Hou Fangyu, as a staunch backbone of the Donglin Party and a representative of the gentry and merchant class, naturally hated Yueyang, so after hearing the news of Yueyang's defeat of the Qing army, he still criticized Yueyang's behavior.

At this time, seeing that many people were speaking for Yueyang, the jealousy in Hou Fangyu's heart was even more unbearable, and he sneered: "This is exactly Yue Zhenghong's cunning, this person has always been known for his hypocrisy, although he nominally collected the exiles to appease the people, and also paid some taxes to the imperial court, but let me ask if Yueyang sent troops this time to have an official document from the Ministry of War?" Is there an emperor's decree? This kind of behavior is at least disobedient to orders, and at worst it is like a rebellion, even if a military general who does not obey the orders of the imperial court can fight the country again, what is the benefit? Have you forgotten the disaster of the feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty? A huge Tang Dynasty was so brutally ruined by An Lushan, these wolf-ambitious generals, if it weren't for Guo Ziyi, I'm afraid that the huge Tang Dynasty would fall into the hands of villains! ”

After listening to Hou Fangyu's words, there was silence in the teahouse, even the scholars who were facing Yueyang in their hearts did not dare to speak for Yueyang at this time, this is not a matter of right or wrong, but a matter of class position.

Yue Yang is a military general, is a feudal town, and the people present are all scholars, for the scholars no matter what kind of hatred they have, but in the position of dealing with the generals is highly consistent, and this position is not a day or two, but after more than a hundred years of slowly formed, if any scholar betrays this position, he is the enemy of the cultural management group, and will be scolded by all the scholars. Therefore, as soon as Hou Fangyu sacrificed the big hat of the military general and the feudal town, the teahouse was silent for a moment, and even the move that disagreed with Hou Fangyu's words in his heart did not refute.

Just when Hou Fangyu looked around and looked around with a smug look on his face, a voice sounded.

"Brother Hou, when you open your mouth and close your mouth, you put the hat of the military commander on the head of the Marquis of Zhongyong, but you don't know whether the Marquis of Zhongyong robbed your daughter-in-law or burned down your house, so that you hate him so much?"
