Chapter 36: Forcing the Mongol Army Back

The Mongol Chinese army, which had become the vanguard, gradually stopped, but the Mongol rear army still failed to hold off the horse's speed, and the charge was blocked, and it was suddenly huddled.

The Ming army continued to evacuate, and when it reached a distance of 300 paces from the Mongol army, it stopped.

Wu Sangui's department was only equipped with 1,500 five-arrow crossbows, each with 10 arrow clips.

Just four rounds of salvo fire, 4 percent of the reserve was used, and the consumption was a bit excessive.

Especially thinking that after being trampled by the Mongolian cavalry, most of the crossbow arrows were difficult to recover, Wu Sangui was distressed to death, and ordered to stop the attack, so he kept this distance and confronted each other.

Duan Luobu, the left-wing prince of Karaqin, was also stunned.

What is the situation, I have been chasing for more than half an hour, and I can finally fight a decisive battle, and my side has lost at least three horses without firing an arrow, how can this battle be fought?

Seeing that Wu Sangui stopped his army and did not move, Duan Luobu didn't know why, he couldn't figure out the reason, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

Wu Sangui could see that although the enemy army had lost men and horses, it was still twice as many as his own.

In this hilly area, there are almost no obstacles, and if you really fight, you will definitely suffer a big loss, and seeing that the Mongol army is not moving, you know that they are afraid of the lethality of the five-arrow crossbow.

Since the Mongols did not move, Wu Sangui was naturally happy to accompany him.

He sent scouts to scout the surrounding enemy and prevent the Mongols from sending reinforcements.

As the clock ticked by, the sun was about to set, and on the southwestern horizon, a large cloud of sand and dust was raised, shining brightly against the backdrop of the setting sun.

Duan Luobu saw it for the first time, "I said why did Wu Sangui's dog thief not move, it turned out that he was waiting for reinforcements and withdraw!" Let's withdraw! ”

The Mongol army pursued extremely quickly and retreated even faster.

Wu Sangui knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up, but in order to let this team of Mongols run farther, he pretended to chase for more than an hour before he was satisfied with the location of the previous Jianyu heavy army.

Duan Luobu only listened to the large group of men and horses behind him chasing closely, and he didn't know how many reinforcements the Ming army came, so he just ran blindly until midnight, and only stopped to rest after making sure it was safe.

"Dog thief, chased this king for most of the night! I'm tired of this king. So who's who, go and see, where are we? ”

Duan Luobu scolded and kicked the pawn in Anza's military tent: "You Niang, hurry up!" ”

At night, the Li and Wu armies met and looked at the precious artillery, and were overjoyed, and ordered people to escort the artillery and march to Jinzhou.

……

Zhu Youjian walked and stopped, and finally arrived at the city of Jizhou.

Gao Di and Li Banghua have already sent people to Jizhou to manage public security, and a team of 1,000 people has been stationed there.

Hearing that Emperor Chongzhen had arrived, the bluffed sesame officials did not possess their bodies and went out of the city in a panic to greet them.

Looking at the officials and soldiers who were kneeling down in Hulala, Zhu Youjian suddenly felt that it was good to be an emperor, at least at this time, there was some lowly satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment.

Entering the Jizhou Mansion, the guards went to prepare dinner, and Ni Yuanlu and others were summoned to a study by Zhu Youjian.

"All Aiqing have been working hard these days. It is supposed to let everyone rest, but now whether it is Gyeonggi, Henan or Shandong, it is very chaotic, and you still need to work hard. Zhu Youjian said.

Ni Yuanlu and the others hurriedly knelt down, "Kuang Fu Sheji is the duty of the ministers, and they don't dare to claim to be hardworking." ”

"Very good! Ladies and gentlemen, Li Banghua came to report that Li Zicheng's army fled westward in a hurry, and some prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi, Shandong, and Henan have temporarily become borderless places, and I don't know how many officials are still in office. Wait for the government to set up a government office, sort out military affairs, and stabilize the people, and don't make any trouble! Zhu Youjian said solemnly.

"Yes."

"The Holy One is far-sighted!"

"In the land of the six prefectures of Shandong, the people are fierce, wait for you to go, recruit strong men as soon as possible, form a new army, and stabilize the place at the same time, in order to prepare for the westward expedition!" Zhu Youjian looked at a few people, saw that their expressions were serious, and continued:

"Ni Yuanlu, you go to Dengzhou, Laizhou, Lingyiqu, you go to Dezhou, Jinan, Shi Bangyao, you go to Qingzhou, Fan Jingwen, you go to Yanzhou.

This is an important step for ZTE Daming, you must do your best! ”

Zhu Youjian's expression was serious, his eyes were firm, and his solemn emotions infected the four Wenchen.

They bowed solemnly and loudly promised to complete the task to the death.

Zhu Youjian sent them out on purpose, first, to stabilize the state capitals and people in various places, and also to do it as a last resort because the plan he was about to implement would not be blocked by a few people.

It is true that these four ministers are loyal ministers, but they are by no means flexible-minded people, and they can even be said to be corrupt.

It's hard to get their support for their own plans.

In order not to hurt the fragile hearts of several people, it is better to send it out one step ahead.

Zhu Youjian saw the solemn expressions of several people, smiled knowingly, turned his head to Wang Chengen and said:

"Cheng'en, pretended, Feng Ni Yuanlu, third-class Pingliaohou, Lingyiqu Dezhou Bo, Shi Bangyao Qingzhou Bo, Fan Jingwen Yanzhou Bo."

Ni Yuanlu and the others were shocked, they really didn't expect Chongzhen to be so atmospheric. actually sealed the three uncles and one marquis in one go.

Several people hurriedly knelt down, saying that they didn't dare.

Shi Bangyao said loudly: "Since ancient times, only those who have opened up the territory can be knighted, how can the ministers be so virtuous, please take back the order!" ”

Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Such a reward may indeed bring about the wind of wanton rewards, since you say so, then this time I will only be knighted, not given to Yulu, not hereditary." The imperial history of the province was also dissatisfied, and the ministers criticized. ”

"What's the situation, still playing like this? You are too real, the minister is just polite! Shi Bangyao slandered, but he didn't dare to say it.

Fan Jingwen and Ling Yiqu's eyes were full of anger, and they scolded Shi Bangyao countless times in their hearts.

Subsequently, Wang Chengen prepared the holy decree, and after using the seal, he announced the decree in public in the lobby.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

Ni Yuanlu and others shouted.

The scene of the reading of the holy decree was not easy to see, and it had already attracted the envy of the officials and soldiers in the city.

Under Zhu Youjian's arrangement, the accompanying guards deliberately traveled around the city, either at the head of the city or in the tea shop, to tell the people about the great battle at Shanhaiguan.

Soon, the fierce battles spread out, and the inhabitants of the city did not dare to have any dissenting intentions for the time being.

Many years later, a copy of "Mountain and Sea Battle" was widely circulated, and it was spread to all corners of the Ming Dynasty by storytellers.

It has achieved the reputation of many ministers of the Ming Dynasty!

……

Gao Di entered the Beijing division on April 29, and on the same day, an official sent someone to send the news to Jiangnan.

At this time, Nanjing was nervously preparing for the enthronement ceremony of the Tang King.

It's the second day of the fifth month.

Zhu Yousong, with the support of Ma Shiying and others, vetoed the proposal of the Donglin Party to first supervise the country and then proclaim the emperor, and hurriedly ascended the throne in Nanjing, and the following year was named Hongguang. Than in history, he became emperor half a month earlier.

The Donglin Party, headed by Qian Qianyi, dared not speak out.

Shi Kefa, who originally had a pivotal position in Nanjing, was also a rat trap, watching the generals of the four towns support King Lifu to ascend to the emperor's throne.

By the third day of the fifth month.

The news that Li Yutian, Wu Sangui, and Gao Di had defeated Li Zicheng and recaptured the Jingshi reached Nanjing.

The Hongguang Imperial Court, which didn't know that Chongzhen was still alive, was greatly excited.

Whether it is Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and other military generals, or Shi Kefa and other civil servants, they are all happy.

In praise of the Hongguang Emperor, the blessing of the sky flew into the Nanjing Imperial Palace like snowflakes.

Emperor Hongguang, who was happy with a big pen, issued a decree of reward.

It is said that the Guanning army repelled the thieves and recovered Shenjing, and the merit was in Sheji.

Feng Li Yutian is the Duke of Jinguo, Wu Sangui is the Duke of Jiguo, and Gao Di is the Duke of Zunguo. At the same time, 50,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of rice were awarded.

sent the eunuch and sent him to the capital as soon as possible.
