The battle went so smoothly that even Zheng Xunrui didn't expect that when Liu Zeqing reported that he had captured Geng Zhongming and completely wiped out the Han army more than two hours later, Zheng Xunrui was still thinking about whether the battle in the city would alarm other places and whether the news would leak out. ↑，

At the beginning, Zheng Jiajun captured Du Du and Kong Youde and others, Zheng Xunrui did not come forward to meet them in person, he thought that there was no need to meet, but this time Zheng Xunrui decided to meet Geng Zhongming in person, judging from Liu Zeqing's report on the capture of Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongming's will is not so tenacious.

Zheng Xunrui has too many things to know, and from Geng Zhongming, he may be able to obtain the most valuable information.

When Geng Zhongming was brought into the house, the whole person seemed weak, almost unsteady on his feet, perhaps because he thought of the consequences, as the king of Huaishun who was canonized by the emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, after being captured by the Ming court, the ending can be imagined, and what is even worse is that the family living in Shenyang, I am afraid that there is no good ending, and it has become the object of slaughter, it can be said that all the hopes of Geng Zhongming do not exist, this desperate mentality instantly occupied his mind.

When he saw Zheng Xunrui, Geng Zhongming knelt down unconsciously.

Geng Zhongming back then, as a general in Dengzhou, did not need to kneel after seeing Zheng Xunrui, just bow to the chief, but he was used to kneeling in Shenyang, and he was used to being a slave, coupled with the fear of seeing Zheng Xunrui, so he couldn't help kneeling.

He didn't need to guess, from the demeanor of everyone, he judged that the young man in front of him was the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Shaobao, Hubu Shangshu, Youdu Yushi, and Caoyun Governor Zheng Xunrui.

In Geng Zhongming's opinion, Zheng Xunrui is unusually young and has an elegant taste, so it is no wonder that Huang Taiji attaches special importance to this Ming Caoyun governor. is particularly troubled by Zheng Jiajun's bravery, in comparison, the calmness exuded by the young Zheng Xunrui and the momentum of the superior are no less than Huang Taiji.

"Geng Zhongming, since he was captured alive, what should he say. I don't need to remind you. ”

Zheng Xunrui did not reprimand Geng Zhongming sternly, nor did he introduce himself first, but went directly to the topic, which made Geng Zhongming, who was kneeling on the ground, see a glimmer of hope.

Looking up at Zheng Xunrui, Geng Zhongming quickly spoke.

"The slave deserves to die, the slave is guilty, the slave says everything......"

"I don't have minions in the Ming Dynasty, what. It's only been a few years, and you've forgotten it. ”

Geng Zhongming's body trembled slightly, he really forgot that in the Great Qing Dynasty, he was a slave of the Manchurian nobles, but this was not the case in the Ming Dynasty, he was a sinner in the Ming Dynasty.

"What your lord reprimands is that sinners deserve to die, deserve to die......"

Zheng Xunrui looked at Geng Zhongming, who was kneeling on the ground. No more talking.

Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, and Shang Kexi were all miners and were called "Shandong Three Mine Disciples". All worked as pirates in Liaodong, and later took refuge in Mao Wenlong, because of the courage of the battle was appreciated by Mao Wenlong, in the second year of Chongzhen, Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, and the sergeants under his command were leaderless. At the critical moment, the three of them were recruited by Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and were reused.

After the surrender of Jin's Huang Taiji, the main role was played by Kong Youde, although there are too many stories in it. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Kong Youde had no way to rebel at that time, and was later forced to defect to Houjin Tatar, but he defected to Huang Taiji and became a traitor, so there is no reason worth explaining.

Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming all deserve to die, and there is nothing to forgive for this.

But it's not as simple as execution.

As Zheng Xunrui, who has extraordinary ambitions, has regarded Huang Taiji of the Great Qing Kingdom as one of the main opponents, and he wants to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars and the Great Qing Kingdom in the future, and he wants to create a dynasty ruled by the Han people who are unparalleled in the world.

This seems to be a distant thing, but thousands of high-rise buildings are rising from the ground, and the foundation must be laid.

How to deal with Geng Zhongming, Zheng Xunrui has his own ideas, he needs to stand in the perspective of the overall situation, not just to meet the thoughts of the court and the emperor, many of the things he does now are from the perspective of the people of the Ming Dynasty, not completely for the emperor and the court, this is very clear, and the senior officers of the Zheng family army basically know.

Zheng Xunrui faces many problems and difficulties, but he is not in a hurry, take his time, and solve and overcome one problem at a time.

Seeing that Zheng Xunrui did not speak, Geng Zhongming immediately began to tell the reason why he led the Han army to Qingxian County, and what he did when he set out from Hejian Fucheng, including the arrangement and deployment of Tulai and other matters.

Geng Zhongming is smart, first of all, he talked about the issue that Zheng Xunrui was most concerned about, and emphasized that the Zheng family's army entered Hejian Mansion, whether Turai and others knew, and the army led by Turai should gather in the direction of Qingxian without accident.

With Geng Zhongming's words, Zheng Xunrui's face showed a hint of a smile, and Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing, Wen Kun and others around him couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.

Zheng Xunrui's adjustment of strategic deployment is completely correct, and it can be found from Geng Zhongming's narrative that so far, Turai and others have believed that Zheng Jiajun has gone to Yanqing Prefecture to fight, and the next arrangement, Turai must lead the Houjin Tartars under his command to assemble in the direction of Qingxian, and after the three-way army will meet, it will march in the direction of Yanqing Prefecture.

Zheng Jiajun rushed to Qingxian ahead of schedule, which was the most critical part of the entire battle.

Next, it becomes very possible to exterminate the Houjin Tartars under the command of Tulai Ji.

Geng Zhongming said many important information in one breath, including the detailed combat arrangements of Turai and the relevant combat arrangements of Dolgon that he knew, some of which Zheng Xunrui already knew and confirmed.

After Geng Zhongming finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.

"Du Du and Kong Youde were all escorted to the capital, waiting for the disposal of the imperial court, you were canonized as the king of Huaishun by the emperor Taiji of Houjin, the impact is quite large, and it is impossible for me to leave you in Qingxian, but you can truthfully explain what you know, and help the Zheng family army to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, there is still a certain amount of merit, I will report this matter to the imperial court, maybe it will be beneficial to your disposal."

A spark quickly appeared in Geng Zhongming's eyes.

Zheng Xunrui smiled slightly, of course his request was not so simple.

"Geng Zhongming, don't think that if I report to the court, you will have nothing to do, if you really want to live, then do what I say, after arriving in the capital, you had better show that you hate the posture of the Houjin Emperor Taiji, regret the previous surrender of the Houjin Jin, and express your willingness to take yourself as a reference, and warn those who are soft-boned that there is no benefit to the Jin Tartars after surrendering, at least there is no dignity as a human being, and you have become an authentic slave."

Geng Zhongming was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"The sinner is grateful for the reminder that the sinner must be truly repentant......"

After Geng Zhongming was taken away, everyone quickly looked at Zheng Xunrui, they were waiting for Zheng Xunrui to arrange the next tasks, and at every critical moment, Zheng Xunrui made a decision directly.

"Liu Zeqing's proposal is very good, the battle to exterminate the Han army this time went so smoothly, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion pretended to be the Han army, which had an unexpected effect, I think this strategy will be used again, and it will be played better."

"Turai divided the 40,000 army into three routes, the 10,000 Han army under Geng Zhongming has been wiped out by the Zheng army, and the next two roads are the Houjin Tartars, judging from the distance of the distance, the 10,000 Houjin Tartars who invaded Jinghai and other places should have arrived in Qingxian in advance, and our first target is this 10,000 Houjin Tartars."

"Geng Zhongming's attitude is good, but if he wants to live, it's not that simple, he must assist the Zheng family army and lure the 10,000 Houjin Tartars along the way from Jinghai to Qingxian Chengchi, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion also pretend to be the Han Army, giving them a devastating blow, these 10,000 Houjin Tartars, don't even think about escaping."

"Jinghai to Qingxian is only one hundred and twenty miles, the speed of Houjin Tartar has always been very fast, our time should be very tight, presumably the sergeant sent by Geng Zhongming should have arrived in Jinghai, this way Houjin Tartar, I am afraid that they have already come to Qingxian, so we have not much time to prepare."

"According to the previous arrangement, 15,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army stationed in the city can control the city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest this time, since the soldiers pretend to be the Han army, they naturally have to do a good job of guarding matters, welcome the golden tartars to enter Qingxian to rest, let them go to the ground in a daze."

"Zheng Jinhong served as the commander-in-chief of the operation, Yang He and Liu Zeqing assisted in the command, and the operation was still dominated by the officers and men of the Shenji Battalion, assisted by the soldiers of the cavalry battalion."

"Everyone, please keep in mind that the opportunity for our current operation was not easy to come by, and we must cherish it, because any problem in any detail may lead to the loss of operational deployment."

Zheng Jinhong and others quickly went to deploy.

Zheng Xunrui's face became grim, and he spoke to Wen Kun beside him.

"I always feel that the battle in Beizhili is probably coming to an end."

Wen Kun was greatly surprised, looking at Zheng Xunrui, he really didn't understand, Zheng Jiajun had won one major victory after another, and the momentum was fierce, wouldn't it be best to take advantage of this opportunity to exterminate as many Houjin Tartars as possible, why did he say that the battle was about to end.

Zheng Xunrui did not explain immediately.

"Wen Kun, think about it carefully, why I said this, if you can think of some of these clues, then you will be really rewarded if you follow the Zheng family army to fight this time."

Zheng Xunrui's words made Wen Kun fall into contemplation, but to understand the details, it still requires unusual thinking. (To be continued......) u
