The Mongols were not defeated, but they were never conquered. For they did not have a fortified city, or that there was not a single place in the vast steppe that was not their fortified city.

Naturalization City is the only city in the grassland, and the reason why it attracts attention to the grassland is not its solidity, but the wealth it can bring. If confined to one city, the Mongols lost their greatest advantage.

Meng Kang's cavalry was the first to enter the city, the huge shield blocking most of the feathered arrows for him, and the heavy iron armor blocking the rest of the attack. In the face of the panicked Mobei people, the bloodthirsty and fierce Meng Kangbu was like a bamboo, and fear was more terrible than a war knife.

The firearms battalion showed its might in the small space in the city, and all kinds of poisonous fireballs were thrown into the stronghold where the Mobei people were stationed. The cavalry lit the houses with torches, and the scorching heat forced the Mobei people hiding in the houses to escape, and in less than half an hour, the only half of the naturalized city was plunged into flames.

The city was completely destroyed by this point, perhaps from the moment the Tumuts were defeated.

"Take the palace!" Zhai Zhe ordered. He didn't want to get into a scuffle with the Mobei people, and it would be best if he could defeat the Mobei Mongols, but he didn't have such extravagant hopes.

Che Feng led a group of Mongols from the east gate to step on the corpses of the Mongols and rush into the Naturalization City, until they mixed in the defeated Mobei queue outside the palace.

"The Great Khan is dead!" The voices of the Mongols echoed in the city of Naturalization, and in the confusion it was impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"Out of town!" It wasn't too late for Zasaktu Khan to wake up. The Khan Tent cavalry escorted him out of the northern city and fled to the dark grassland under the moonlight.

The battle has lasted for nearly three hours, and with the movement of Guihua City, the Qing prisoner camp at Junzijin Ferry should have received the news a long time ago, but there has been no scout to report the arrival of the Qing rescue army, which made Zhai Zhe unexpected. If the Qing captives do not come to the rescue, he can expand the results of the war to the fullest, and plunder the livestock of the Mobei people.

The fire in Guihua City became more and more vigorous, Zhai Zhe ordered Xiao Zhiyan's light cavalry and Bao Guang's personal guards to cover up and kill the Mobei people who fled in the desert, and the rest of the soldiers and horses quickly cleaned up the battlefield and prepared to retreat to Liangcheng.

Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji who was stationed at Junzijin Ferry. The 20,000 troops of Modong Mongolia were withdrawn, the Zhenghongqi cavalry was escorting grain and grass, the Han Eight Banners and the Mengbaqi men and horses were still besieging Hanzhai, the Zhengbai Banner soldiers and horses were marching along the north bank of the Yellow River, and the rest of the army marched into Hetao, leaving only 5,000 cavalry in the Junzijin camp, and he did not dare to take risks.

This is the consequence of the battle line being stretched too long, Zhai Zhedong has a hammer and a stick in the west, which seems to have no effect, in fact, it allows the tight formation of the Qing army to disperse and expose flaws, and then attack its most vulnerable place. Guihua City was secretly attacked, Haoge and Zhubeile at Junzijin Ferry did not take it seriously, Zasaktu Khan never officially expressed his surrender, and he did not meet Huang Taiji, and a few years ago, he also fought with the Qing Dynasty soldiers and horses, and some people were secretly happy.

The heralds crossed the Yellow River the next day, and the news of the surprise attack on the city reached the banks of the Yellow River.

Huang Taiji was urging the cavalry to cross the river, and the Chahars retreated. He didn't know whether to be excited or angry, but he had more important things to do.

Moxi grassland.

The Chahars and Tumuts fled westward, and Ezhe held out on the banks of the Yellow River for three days before retreating. The cavalry that returned a few days ago and the men and horses of Azig, who drove away the sneak attack of the Qing captives, led the tribe to retreat in the direction of Qinghai Dacaotan, and he would not give Huang Taiji a chance to defeat him, because he was the Great Khan of Mongolia.

Returning to Moxi after a few years, Ezhe is not as depressed as last time. Although he was like a lost dog all the way, Ezhe now understands his advantage, as long as the Ming can support him, Mo Nan will never be able to fall under the rule of the Jurchens, but he must keep his cavalry. Countless troops were left behind along the way, and some people in Alukharka were unwilling to flee hard, and the Chahar cavalry showed their scimitars to force them all the way.

"Come after me! I will be back again! Ezhe looked at the battle flags of the cavalry in the distance. Seven years ago, when he was helpless, he had the idea of surrendering, and now after several years of recuperation, he has annexed the Alukharka tribe, which is not the same as it was at the beginning.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, in mid-July, the grassland changed dramatically, and no one could see the future.

Zhai Zhe led the results of the battle in Guihua City back to Fangshan, he lost nearly 700 soldiers, captured more than 3,000 war horses and countless cattle and sheep, and war was indeed the fastest way to obtain wealth. The corpses of the Mobei people were strewn with the ruins of the Naturalization City, and all the captives who were higher than the axles of the car were beheaded. It is not known if Omubu Khan will return to clean up the city.

He selected a thousand horses to present to the governor's palace, and slaughtered cattle and sheep to reward the defenders of Fort Victory near Fangshan.

Zhai Zhe and Jiang Ji talked happily.

"Brother, seriously, I admire you from the bottom of my heart!" Jiang Ping's face was slightly drunk, and he couldn't hear the truth in his words, "I think General Xuandazhen, no one can compare to you." ”

The brothers at the wine table are all acting on the spot, but in fact, they are not counted, and the brothers in Zhai Zhe's heart are probably only Xiao Zhiyan, and he replied with a smile: "Brother Jiang, don't say that, you are making enemies for me!" ”

"That is, when Lu Gong arrives at Xuanda, people like you and me will have a bright future!" Jiang Ji raised his wine glass, feeling deeply. This time, he held on to the Victory Fortress, fought bloodily for more than a dozen days and nights, and almost died under the iron cannon of the Qing captives, showing that he was different from other generals. As long as the merit is rewarded and punished, and the matter is fair, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are not so unbearable.

"It's a pity that such days are short!" Jiang Jian picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, unable to hide the melancholy in his words.

Zhai Zhe's right hand as he raised the wine glass trembled, and only half a glass of residual wine remained in the glass.

"I heard that Duke Lu has written to the imperial court, asking for resignation as governor, and wants to return to his hometown of Yixing." Jiang Jian smiled and put down his wine glass, "I think who dares to come to Xuanda?" ”

The Qing soldiers are still outside the customs, who dares to come to Xuanda to be the governor? Zhai Zhe's wine was half awake, "Is Gong Lu really leaving?" He had both some regrets and some expectations, was Lu Gong willing to leave Xuanda?

The war on the grassland was still ongoing, and Xiao Zhiyan's scouts were listening to the news in the empty Monan grassland, and only the grain transport team of the Qing captives was still shuttling here. Zasaktu Khan led his troops far away, and even the corpses of the Naturalized City did not dare to turn back to collect them. Zhai Zhe did not have an exact battle report on the Hetao grassland, but there was no doubt that the Qing captives broke through the Hetao and attacked Moxi.

What will happen to the Chahars and Tumerts? What is the fate of the water army in the Yellow River? Zhai Zhe has countless questions in his heart, but the biggest question is whether Lu Gong will return to his hometown to guard the system, which is a major matter that the officialdom, military town and business in Xuanda Town are all concerned about.

Mid-August.

Xuanda army tun bumper harvest.

The Qing captives retreated.

The brightly armored cavalry escorted nearly 10,000 captives through the Great Wall in the north of the Ming Dynasty and returned to Liaodong, and the defenders of the border fort did not rest day and night, closely monitoring the movements of the Qing captives. The brazen cavalry joined forces in Zhangjiakou and shelled the Xuanfu Great Wall, and Kong Youde's artillery battalion finished all the iron balls and gunpowder they carried, and then retreated. There is no doubt that the Tumuts and Chahars suffered heavy losses. However, the expedition of the Emperor Taiji failed to achieve the ultimate goal, and he captured Monan, but no one could help him defend it. From Hetao to Zhangba, the most fertile grasslands are empty.

Zhai Zhe urgently transported a batch of grain and grass out of the jam and sent it to Hanzhai to relieve the urgent need, and Feng Qin was busy mobilizing Hannu to harvest rice millet in the barren fields opposite the Tumao River.

After the Qing army retreated for more than ten days, Lu Xiangsheng summoned the generals and generals of the three towns of Xuanda in the Xuanda Governor's Palace. Lu Gong was uncertain about his stay, and Xuan's army was uneasy. Whether they dislike him or respect him, the generals cannot deny that Lu Gong has changed Xuanda in the past two years.

The military attache of Datong Town went with the chief soldier Hu Dawei, talking and laughing along the way. In this year's battle, Datong Town was in the limelight, first the Victory Fort held the artillery bombardment of the Qing captives, and then Zhai Zhe broke into the grassland to loot horses and livestock and returned. Zhai Zhe killed the Mongols, and there were also Mongols who attacked the Victory Fort, as for which tribe of Mongols it was, it all relied on a mouth to repay the merits.

Zhai Zhe deliberately fell behind, rarely interjected, and saw Jiang Ji left and right among the generals, he was really an eight-sided and exquisite character.

Entering the realm of Xuanfu, I was beaming with joy along the way. A bumper harvest in the military camp can still boost the morale of the army than a big victory, and those auxiliary soldiers who are divided into baggage battalions can get a lot of benefits, and it is no problem for the whole family to fill their stomachs for a year.

The generals of the three towns entered Yanghewei, and the Tianxiong army supervised the camp and was ordered to receive them, and good wine and meat were served. Wang Pu, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu were cautious and restrained the generals, and during the period when Lu Gong was still in mourning, any noisy scene was disrespectful to Lu Gong.

"Congratulations to General Zhai!" Yang 6kai came to Zhai Zhe's side with a mysterious face, and he and Zhai Zhe are old friends.

"What's the joy of?" Zhai Zhe was surprised.

Yang 6kai didn't answer, turned around and disappeared into the crowd. Zhai Zhe pondered all night, and didn't dare to ask anyone, thinking that Yang Liukai would not make fun of himself for no reason.

The next day, the governor's palace beat the drum and summoned the generals, and the generals of the three towns entered the palace in turn, and stood still, among them was an empty chair covered with tiger skin. After less than a quarter of an hour, the commanders outside the palace shouted: "Your Excellency the Governor has arrived!" ”

There was silence in the governor's palace, and there was a sound of neat footsteps outside the door, and Lu Xiangsheng was dressed in the governor's official uniform, and the corner of the filial piety dress worn inside was exposed at the neckline.

After sitting down, the eight pro-soldiers stood on both sides, and Yang 6 Kai was in the middle.

Lu Xiangsheng coughed first, his voice hoarse and did not retreat, "Thanks to the concerted efforts of all the generals, this year's Xuanda Three Towns Army Tun had a bumper harvest, and refused to clear the captives outside the fortress, and finally got through the difficulties." After saying these words, it seemed to consume a lot of his strength, and he paused for a moment before he continued: "The Ministry of War has written nine sides, and ordered all towns to take Xuanda as a model, which is your work. ”

Everyone in the audience was happy.

"If you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you are meritorious, you will be rewarded." Lu Xiangsheng's voice slowed down, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said it clearly word by word, "I just received an order from the Ministry of War, the deputy general of Shanxi Town has been absent for one year, and now the deputy general of Datong Ding Mao will be transferred; Datong general Jiang Zhu was captured outside the Victory Fort, promoted to the deputy general of Datong, and transferred to guard the town of Datong; Zhai Zhe, the general of Datong, rushed to help the Mongolian tribes who were abusive to naturalize, and was promoted to the deputy general of Datong and stationed in Fort Victory. ”
