Chapter 312: No More Prisoners
Azig rode a brown steed, pointed to the east with a whip, and shouted, "This king wants to leave Chongzhen dead without a place to be buried.
Then, he waved his army east and occupied Nanjing.
This king wants to be the emperor in Nanjing and re-establish the Qing Dynasty!"
Ah Shan immediately knelt down and said with an excited expression, "The prince is wise! The prince will definitely be able to build the Qing Dynasty and dominate the world!"
Azig laughed, "Do you know that this king has been planning for many days, and even the name of the year he will use when he ascends the throne has been decided!"
"Oh?" Ah Shan was surprised, he knew that Azig had no literary strategy, for fear that he would give him an ungrade year name.
Azig was full of anger, "When this king ascends the throne, he will set the era name as "Xuantong"!"
"Xuantong?" Ah Shan pondered for a moment and said happily, "Lord Wang, what a literary talent! Proclaim the edict of the world and rule all the frontiers! Okay!"
Azig touched his nose and said in his heart, "That's not what I mean, this king just wants to announce to the world that I will be under the command of the Qing Dynasty in the future."
……
Azig did not want to delay for a moment, and left 100,000 horses to garrison the provinces at will, and took 40,000 horses from his headquarters, together with 700,000 horses from the left battalion, and quickly set off in the direction of Huangshan.
The army is still under the banner of the left battalion, although it is eye-catching, but no one thinks that the army is heading towards Chongzhen, plus Azig sent people to disperse the officials in advance, and even intercepted and killed many people, so that not too many people know the movement of the left battalion.
I can't guess the target of the left battalion.
It wasn't until Azig's army left Jiujiang and marched together with 6 groups of men and horses that it was discovered.
The news of the left-hand battalion's eastward advance spread quickly.
Officials everywhere were shocked, "Zuo Ying, it's the other way around?"
He Tengjiao was one of the fastest generals to get the news, he quickly sent people to Nanjing to report the news, and at the same time waved his army to march to the northeast, with the determination to die, to block this rebel army.
Officials in Anqing, Chaoxian and other places also got the news, but they did not have troops in their hands, so they were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled to Nanjing by boat.
A day later, Nanjing got the news and quickly sent troops to intercept it, and at this time, Azig was already wrapped in Zuo Mengeng, and at a miraculous speed, he broke through to the front line of Jiande and Qimen.
At this time, Chongzhen's emperor's guard of honor was walking slowly near the Great Gongling between Jiande and Qimen.
Wen Xuan has been waiting here for a long time.
"Your Majesty, after many comparisons, this Dongsheng Mountain in the Great Gong Mountains is the most suitable for defensive battles!"
Chongzhen listened to Xuan's report while following him up Dongsheng Mountain.
He stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, nodding with satisfaction, sure enough, his vision was broad, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Bring me the map!"
Wen Xuan unfolded the map, Chongzhen looked at it carefully for a long time, and found that at this time there was a basin around the mountain.
"It's good, although there is a gap, this is still a good place to defend and difficult to attack, and the surrounding mountain roads are also very rugged, and it is difficult to rescue. In this way, Azig is more relieved to attack with all his strength!"
Chongzhen circled around the top of the mountain a few times, silently pondered for a long time, and said loudly:
"Zong Zhangguo, let's set up defensive fortifications here! Everything is going according to plan. Put those 6 Makqin in place!"
"The emperor can rest assured, the minister will definitely let Jianyu lose his heart when he hears Makqin!"
Chongzhen smiled when he heard this, "Hey, after this battle, there will be no more prisoners!"
King Ding followed behind Chongzhen, and when he finished his order, he asked, "Father, why did you choose a place that is not easy to rescue. After all, the combined Azig and Zuoying are 840,000 people!"
"It's too easy to rescue, and Azig won't be surrounded by all his troops. In addition, with Azig's ability, he will not be able to command so many people at all, and most of the army of the left battalion will be divided and annihilated by reinforcements from all walks of life in the imperial court, and it will not threaten our safety."
Chongzhen explained, "Besides, even if the terrain here is difficult to rescue, as long as you and I are here, the entire Ming army will rush to come!
You can get there in the fastest time, and even if you can't get in front of the enemy, you can divide Azig and the left battalion and surround it!
Even if we can't defeat Azig, we can maneuver him, and when reinforcements come, we will kill him inside and out."
King Ding lowered his head and whispered, "Then what if the prince's brother doesn't let him be rescued?"
When Chongzhen heard this, he took a deep look at King Ding: "If your brother doesn't let him be rescued, then I will be completely relieved to hand over Daming to him!"
King Ding's heart set off a shocking wave, what, what does his father mean that even if the prince's brother rebels, he will pass the throne to his brother without hesitation?
This, this is too devastating.
Chongzhen saw King Ding's expression, and touched his head with a smile, "In this world, sooner or later, it is the prince's, and it is the same sooner or later. Don't forget, I'm going to take you to another world?"
King Ding is stupid, is this still what an emperor should say?
Which emperor doesn't regard his throne as important as life, no, it should be more important than life, and far more than the relationship between father and son.
Throughout the ages, there have been many cases of killing his father and brother for the throne, how come all of them have changed here in Chongzhen?
Chongzhen no longer explained, "Okay, don't bother with this, you just need to remember that the Ming Dynasty currently needs the primogeniture system, and in the future, it will even need a constitutional monarchy. I won't allow the princes to take over the throne!
And you, now, go and help the soldiers set up the fortifications!"
……
Azig was aroused by the bait of Chongzhen's father and son, for fear that Chongzhen would run away ahead of time when he got the news, so he galloped all the way, almost non-stop.
Although the army behind it got the general's order and hurried desperately, the 700,000 left battalion army was a mixed group of infantry and cavalry, and the speed was already slow.
In addition, most of the soldiers in the left battalion were rabble, and they did not train much on weekdays, so it was impossible to run such a long distance.
One by one, they slowed down, and the distance between the departments became farther and farther.
For several days, Azig gave up countless small towns and villages, and blindly galloped, just to catch Chongzhen as soon as possible.
In the end, when he chased him to the vicinity of the Great Gong Ridge, only his own headquarters were left by his side.
Moreover, there were only 30,000 cavalry.
The 10,000 infantry, led by his son Fleurhe, lagged far behind.
Other troops have long been scattered on the road of more than 400 miles between Jiujiang and Huizhou.
The mountains here in Dagongling are busy, and it is easy to hide, and Azig can't find Chongzhen for a while.
Fortunately, Chongzhen was kind-hearted, and he was afraid that Azig would not find him, so he sent people to disguise the deserters and horses, and tried to attract the Azig army to Dongsheng Mountain.
Azig's Tanma finally lived up to expectations and found the Huang Luogai umbrella on the top of Dongsheng Mountain, and even caught a lot of Ming army soldiers who asked for help, and went back to work with great satisfaction.
