Hearing the news of the retreat of the Eight Banners Army, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Jinzhou was now very weak, and there were only a little more than two regiments that could be put on the defensive. With this little force, if Huang Taiji really fights, it is still unknown who will kill the deer. The only thing Li Xiao relied on was rocket artillery, which was considered a weapon of mass destruction for the next year.

Re-ascended to the main position of the Great Black Mountain and walked on the scorched earth everywhere. As a human being in two lives, it is the first time Li Xiao has seen such a battlefield. The ground is as if it had been plowed over, and it was walked on it one foot deep and one foot shallow. There were hardly any stones to be seen, and the soil had turned into fine powder. Step on it and you'll be up to your ankles!

As he walked, Li Xiao bent down and picked up a finger on the ground. The fingers are broken at the root, the bone stubble is very white, and the skin is very elastic. This should be a young man's finger, whether it is the Liao army or the Later Jin army is impossible to verify.

The biggest casualties of Cao Wenzhao's troops came from local shelling, and the most intense shelling was when the Houjin army rushed to the position and the two sides fought hand-to-hand.

Brutal tactics, but they do work. It was with this tactic that they tore apart the main position of the Great Black Mountain. If it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan's desperate attack on all fronts, this opening would have become very deadly.

When the Liao army retreated, it hastily collected the remains. But those were all larger chunks of corpses!

When the Houjin army withdrew, it also collected its own corpses. They had plenty of time, but they were clearly not taking it very seriously. Such fingers can always be seen on the battlefield, either half a palm. Or a complete foot, on a dirt bag, Li Xiao stepped on a complete buttocks.

There were many fragments of corpses, but there were no wild beasts to gnaw on. Not even the pesky crows flew over to take away the minced meat they could eat.

Many soldiers were holding a large basket and picking it up all the way. Whether it's the flesh on the robe or not, it's all of them. People are dead, and they probably won't care about the extra pieces on their bodies.

Li Xiao wrapped his fingers in a handkerchief and put them in the earthen basket.

The two companies combed through it twice before they were sure that there were no remaining weapons or corpse fragments on the position.

Some of the weapons will definitely be lost, after all, it was already dark when we retreated, and time was tight. There's no time to comb your hair like a search! The Houjin army occupied this place for two days, and they would not do nothing.

The corpses were laid out at the foot of the Great Black Mountain, piled with dry wood from autumn, and sprinkled with some fire oil. After throwing the box of matches, the fire was blazing.

The smell of pine covered the burnt smell of the flesh, and everyone stood beside the pile.

"Changbai Mountain's former Zhishilang, pure red Luo brocade crotch.

The long lance invades the sky and a half, and the wheel knife shines in the sun.

Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.

Suddenly, when he heard the arrival of the official army, he raised his knife and swung forward.

For example, if Liaodong died, he was injured by beheading. "Li Xiao doesn't have much ink in his stomach, but he still knows this song "Death Song of the Undirected Liaodong Waves". In this situation, there is no more apt ballad than this song.

Liaodong! The sad place of the Han nation!

Whenever the Central Plains Dynasty weakened, the Han family here was always slaughtered. During the Warring States period, the Yan people once occupied this place, and later the Great Qin perished and the Chu and Han fought each other. As a result, the Chinese people in Liaodong were killed by the Donghu and Xiongnu, and there were no people for thousands of miles.

For more than 400 years, Liaodong was reoccupied by the Han people. After the two Jin Dynasty, the five Hu were chaotic, and the Hu people killed it into a blank land.

The Sui and Tang dynasties repeatedly conquered Liaodong, and finally the Han dynasty finally reconquered it. But in five dynasties and ten countries, the Khitans slaughtered the Han people here.

The Jin, the Mongols, and the love of Nurhachi.

Liaodong was washed again and again, and the heads of the Han people were like leeks in the ground, stubble after stubble was cut off, and stubble came out after stubble. For 2,000 years, history has been repeating itself between white mountains and black waters.

Li Xiao bowed deeply to the flames, as a praying mantis blocking the rolling wheels of history. Li Xiao hoped that his bones were hard enough to hold the wheel for at least a moment.

In this black land, soaked in the blood of the Han people, there are no longer Han people who are slaughtered by foreign races.

Snowflakes floated in the sky, and what was said to be snowflakes was actually snow particles. Snow particles the size of a grain of rice were blown fast by the wind, hitting the face with a burning pain. No one moved, everyone waited for the flames to go out. Collect the ashes and put them in the jar!

The north wind howled, and the wind blew over, and the hot carbon ash and ashes and other ashes drifted away with the wind. The wind whirled, sending the ashes and snow particles from the ground into the sky. The sound of the wind whistling in my ears sounded like a ghost crying and a human voice.

You ask, I answer! It's up to you to guess what you're saying!

Li Xiao seemed to have guessed what they were talking about! "Bring it on."

A guy with a body wrapped around a mummy, with an arm hanging around his neck, was carried out by the guards.

"Dashuai, think twice! Yuan Keding was seriously injured in three places and slightly injured in 15 places. One arm is gone, and if you think of him fighting bravely to the death, you can spare him this time. Zu Dashou walked out, clenching his fists, his eyes full of pleading.

"Spare him? Don't ask me, you ask the souls here who have been unwilling to disperse for a long time. The regulations clearly stipulate that the ammunition vehicles should be at least 200 meters away from the artillery positions. You ask him, how did he command? I let him go, what do you say in the face of the unjust souls here?

In a few days I will leave for Shandong, and the old people will ask me for a son, the young children for a father, and the women for a husband. How do I say it?

It takes eighteen years for a man to grow from the size of a brick to an eight-foot-tall man. Just because of him, because he didn't follow the rules. The artillery positions were completely annihilated, and you and I and so many soldiers lost their artillery cover. Cao Wenzhao even died another one last night, and now only four people survived in the whole company plus Cao Wenzhao. There is no one in ten!

How many old men, there are no bones left on that mountain. In the face of those people, how do you say I will spare him?

Execute! ”

Yuan Chonghuan closed his eyes in pain, he took good care of him since he was a big brother. Knowing that he was fighting in Liaodong, he specially sent his most beloved son to him. Yuan Keding has been smart since he was a child, and he can learn anything at a glance. Yuan Chonghuan sent him to learn artillery, and the cannon was really accurate.

Can......! Ay......!

There was no way to intercede, he made too much of a mistake.

Zu Dashou couldn't help it, this time Yuan Keding committed too big a crime. There's no way to protect it!

If it weren't for the desperate fighting of the whole army, it would have gained a temporary respite with great casualties. That day, the main force of the Eight Banners followed up in time, and the consequences were unimaginable.

"Uncle Zu, second uncle. Don't intercede for me, I'm damned. When my brothers were dead, I knew I deserved to die. But they're all dead, but I'm not the most damned one. I killed two Tartars with my own hands, and I made a little money for my brothers. Go down...... If you go down, you can give them an explanation!

Dashuai, I don't ask you to spare my little life. I only beg you to bury my ashes with my brothers, I am sorry for them. When they get there, I'll pay them no. Yuan Keding knelt on the ground, tears soaking the bandages.

"It's a man, I'll agree to your request. Execute! Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. If Yuan Keding cultivates it, he will definitely be a general in the future. But now, everything is gone.

"Wait!" Yuan Chonghuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly shouted.

Li Xiao looked back at Yuan Chonghuan, and couldn't help but come out to intercede for his nephew.

"Handsome! Please let the Admiral carry out the execution himself! Yuan Chonghuan's eyes were red, and the muscles on his face were constantly twitching, trying not to let the tears flow.

"Accurate!"

Yuan Chonghuan walked behind Yuan Keding, pulled out his revolver and put it at the back of Yuan Keding's head. "Keding, go all the way!"

"Bang!"

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Forbidden City, inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen was looking at Hong Chengchou's recital: The minister bowed to my emperor in Jinzhou and tasted the fierceness of the thief. The battle of Dahu Mountain was known from the beginning.

On the morning of the third day of November. The Liao army fought with the thieves, and the thieves rained down like bullets. The thief's red cannon is non-stop, and in each cannon station, it erodes dozens of feet, and every person is broken and has no physiology.

More than 100 people in the Liao army Cao Wenzhao's department fought bravely with the thieves, and there was no ...... in the battle until noon!

Wang Chengen observed that Zhu Youzhen sat indifferently in his chair after watching the recital. I haven't moved for a long time!

"Hooray!" Afraid that His Majesty the Emperor would have three longs and two shorts, Wang Chengen shouted softly with courage.

"This is different from what Wu Sangui said! Shouldn't the Liao army be the one with sharp firearms? How can the firearms of the Tartars be so crushed that the Liao army can't raise its head. Even the Liao army suffered heavy casualties and it was difficult to advance a single bit, and there was still a strong army in my Ming Dynasty that could be worthy of a battle. Li Xiao! Still can't move! Zhu Youzhen sighed lightly, and all the original calculations were in vain.

Looking at Hong Chengchou's performance, he will definitely not be able to get rid of the Tartars and recover Liaodong in a short period of time.

This letter was sent by Hong Chengchou alone, and Li Xiao didn't even have a fart on his side. What does this mean? Could it be that Hong Chengchou was bought by Li Xiao? There is no way, Hong Chengchou was Zhu Youzhen's person a few years ago. The new emperor ascended the throne, and he was also promoted like a rocket. From a small Shaanxi governor to participate in politics, he was promoted to the governor of Yansui and the political envoy of Shaanxi.

Besides, before this, Hong Chengchou should have never met Li Xiao.

"Hooray! In fact, this matter, with this result, the slave is also a reason to see. Li Xiao's Liao Army, whether it is from the Ministry of War or let's ask Wu Sangui. There are probably more than 18,000 people, let's say 20,000 people.

But long live your negligence, then Ao Canghai is in Shandong with the main force of the Liao army. The one who fought with the Tartars was only a part of the Liao army. Moreover, Li Xiao also had to divide his troops to defend Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou and other places. The number of Liao troops who came out of the front is even more limited!

On the other hand, on the Tartar side, according to Hong Chengchou's recital, it can be seen that it is the elite to the fullest. Even if Hong Chengchou is right, more than half of Yuan Chonghuan's casualties are killed. Rao is like this, and he only hit Yuan Chonghuan's department hard.

The Tartar elite was exhausted, but they failed to eat the Liao army under Yuan Chonghuan. And when he was pursuing, he suffered a small loss. This is enough to show that what Wu Sangui said is true. The combat power of the Liao army is really above the Tartars. Li Xiao is raising his own respect! When Wang Chengen said this, he glanced at Zhu Youzhen carefully.

"Hmmm! Listen, you old man continues. Zhu Youzhen nodded, listening to Wang Chengen very seriously.

The old slave felt that it was not necessarily a bad thing to keep Li Xiao now. That Qian Qianyi colluded with friends in the DPRK and China, and there seemed to be signs of Donglin's recovery. These people controlled the government back then, so the first emperor made a Wei Zhongxian to fight with them.

Last time, Donglin and the Jiangnan chaebols behind them suffered a loss of military power. This time, they have already planned training in Jiangnan. The Jiangnan Forbidden Army under Shi Kefa's department is the new army they have trained.

Shi Kefa was in Liguan Town, Liaodong, and was able to fight against the Tartars for more than seven days. This shows that their combat power cannot be underestimated. If those chaebols in Jiangnan have soldiers, I am afraid that they will be even more harmful to the imperial court than Li Xiao. And no matter what Li Xiao said, he could be regarded as helping Banzai block the Tartars.

And those chaebols in Jiangnan are blocking Banzai from doing that big thing.

The rules set by the great grandfather at the beginning were that the gentry did not pay for food. These chaebols in Jiangnan take advantage of this. In the south of the Yangtze River, the land was annexed year by year, but the taxes of the Ming Dynasty became less and less.

Donglin controls the government, and behind them are those chaebols in Jiangnan, just like Qian Qianyi, who is simply a big landlord himself. No matter how difficult it is for the imperial court, they will not reach out to the Jiangnan chaebols to collect taxes. Instead, all the taxes were pressed to the poor places in the northwest.

Long live you also know that the northwest has always been poor, and oil can be squeezed out of the stones. Nowadays, thieves and bandits have been raging in Shaanxi and Gansu for many years, and it is not because of excessive taxation and persecution of the people. Nowadays, the finances of the imperial court are as tight as a day, and the only way is to implement the integration of officials and gentry, the payment of grain and the integration of errands. Speaking of this, Wang Chengen paused and stopped talking. Because he found that Zhu Youzhen was already looking at him with blazing eyes.

"You old thing is okay, you are so aware of the affairs of the court." Zhu Youzhen looked at this old eunuch who had been waiting for him since he was a child.

"Long live the old slave, where does the old slave understand this. It's all from the old slave! ”

"Oh! Heard? ”

"When Hong Chengchou came to Beijing to face the saint, the old slave once participated in the banquet between him and Yang Sichang. During the banquet, the two of them talked about the current situation, and only then did they make such remarks. The old slave is just a parrot! ”

"They are talking about these things in public?" Zhu Youzhen was a little surprised.

"In addition to the old slave and his brother, the only people who participated in the banquet were Lord Hong and Lord Yang."

"Oh!" Zhu Youzhen nodded, he expected that these two guys would not be so reckless, and such an important matter would be said in public.
