At the end of June of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, more than 10,000 people committed Xuzhou, fought fiercely with the Ming army in Xia Town for ten days, and was defeated.

This defeat was also the biggest defeat suffered by Nurhachi since he raised his army.

When Baiyintu and Yabran fled back to Beijing, Dolgon couldn't believe that there was such a thing.

"What did you say?" Dolgon stared at Baiyintu deadly, his eyes revealing a look of wanting to eat people, "The 12,000 troops who went out with you only escaped back with dozens of horses?" Dozens of rides! ”

Hong Chengchou, Ning Wanme, and Fan Wencheng, who also happened to be discussing in Prince Rui's Mansion, were also petrified on the spot.

If Bai Yintu's deviant division was defeated by the Dashun army, Hong Chengchou and they would not be too surprised.

Because the Dashun army is still quite combative, if the equipment is better, the Qing soldiers may not be able to beat the Dashun army, and the Qing soldiers won the first battle of Shanhaiguan is actually very lucky.

But now Baiyintu's partial division was actually defeated by the Ming army!

It's just a matter of losing to the Ming army, but it's still so miserable?

There were more than 12,000 people when I went, and when I came back, there were only a few dozen left?!

Since the old Khan Nurhachi raised his army with seven hatreds, the Qing Dynasty has never been defeated so badly.

Bai Yintu really broke the record of the Qing Dynasty this time, and in one battle, he reimbursed two Jiala's Eight Banner Manchuria, ten Niu Lu's Eight Manchu Han Army, and 3,000 troops plus more than 3,000 coats!

When the news returns to Shengjing, I am afraid that the yellow flag will really be worn by every family with filial piety.

Not only the families of those masters should wear filial piety, but also the families of those clothed servants should also wear linen and filial piety.

And I'm afraid that the yellow flag will have a very hard time this year, after such a big defeat, there will definitely be very little time to divide the spoils, and the upcoming horse race, I am afraid that it will also be the last.

There are also so many prime-aged people who died in the war, and this year's autumn harvest and next year's spring ploughing are all big problems.

Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but glance at Ning Wan and me, if the yellow flag can still maintain unity, then it's okay, if it can't maintain unity, then I'm afraid it will fall at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This time, the regent also had an excuse to rectify the yellow flag.

The two hardcore traitors seem to have foreseen a power struggle.

Can the pair of orphans and widows still hold up the scene?

……

The news of Xiazhen's victory reached Nanjing almost at the same time.

Fu Wang Zhu Yousong really lived like a year during this time.

Han Zanzhou's Nanjing Garrison Eunuch Office He didn't dare to live anymore, but when he fled from the mansion, he didn't bring any property, and he was really destitute, and finally fell to a private house in Wuyi Lane.

Not only do they have nowhere to live, but sometimes they don't even have enough to eat.

That is, Chengyi Bo and a few other nobles saw that he was pitiful and took one or two, otherwise he would really be reduced to begging for a living.

On this day, Liu Kongzhao invited a friend to a banquet on the bank of the Qinhuai River, so he called Zhu Yousong over and asked him to have a drink.

Zhu Yousong regretted a little, now that the Donglin Party is in full control of the government, Ruan Dacheng, who is a remnant of the eunuch party, has become a street rat in Nanjing, can you have good fruits to eat with him? Sincerity is confused.

In case which imperial historian sees a copy of him in the court, it will be a big trouble.

"King Fu, you have patience." Liu Kongzhao saw that Zhu Yousong was sullen, and he drank and persuaded, "If you are stubborn, you will inevitably defeat Xuzhou sooner or later, and there is still room for a turn in major events." ”

Jiannu has already reached Xuzhou, and the news has already been transmitted back to Nanjing.

At present, the streets and alleys of Nanjing, and even the fireworks and willow alleys are talking about this.

If Jiangnan Shizi can't express a unique opinion on the battle situation in Xuzhou, he will even be embarrassed to ask for flowers and willows.

After decades of efforts by the Donglin Party and the Fushe Society, it has become common practice for scholars in the opposition to discuss the government in Jiangnan, and Nanjing officials have also turned a blind eye to this.

"Not necessarily." Zhu Yousong shook his head and said, "The saint is said to be quite knowledgeable. ”

Zhu Yousong, like Liu Kongzhao, dreamed that Chongzhen would defeat Xuzhou, and it would be better to be defeated and die, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Holy Commander?" Ruan Dacheng sneered out laughing, "If even the saint dares to call himself a soldier, then Huanghuang Daming is afraid that there will be no one who knows the soldier." ”

"Sir, be cautious." Zhu Yousong was so frightened that his face turned white.

"King Fu, what are you afraid of? What else is there to be afraid of? Liu Kongzhao swallowed a few cups of yellow soup, and the dog's gall became stronger, "Do you really believe that the rumors are true?" Do you really believe that it was the Holy Lord who brought Wang Jiayan and them to break out of Beijing? Do you really believe that the Holy Lord took Jiuqing to Chahar Mongolia for a circle? It's all fake. ”

Going to Jiuqing is the collective name of the Nanjing officialdom for Meng Zhaoxiang and the nine of them.

Jiashen was in a national disaster, and only Meng Zhaoxiang and the nine of them followed Chongzhen out of the siege of Beijing, so they gained a huge wave of official reputation, but Chen Liangyu of the Seven Grades of Imperial History also became one of the nine Qings who went to the disaster.

Because everyone can see that Chen Liangyu will inevitably be among the nine Qings sooner or later.

"That's right, it's fake, it's fake!" Ruan Dacheng also firmly believes that this is fake.

Liu Kongzhao continued: "The truth of the matter is estimated to be that Pingxi Bo Wu Sangui sent a thousand Yi Ding to enter Beijing from Chaoyang Gate on Jiashen Day, and took out the nine of Shengshang and Meng Zhaoxiang, most of which is the case. ”

"Yes, it must be." Ruan Dacheng was also already drunk, and said with a red face, "I am going to write a new play, which is dedicated to the story of the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers went south, the two sects of Qinhui and a large number of princesses and princes of the clan were taken captive, but Zhao Jiu was known for his soldiers, and led Jiuqing to kill out of Bianjing, first smash Huanglong and then go down to Lin'an to establish the Southern Song Dynasty." ”

"Sir, drunk, sour, don't dare to say that."

When Zhu Yousong heard Ruan Dacheng say this, he was so frightened that he got up and wanted to leave, but was pressed back to the chair by Liu Kongzhao.

"Why don't you dare? I Ruan Dacheng has no other skills, but my ability to see people is first-class, let me tell you, I, Ruan Dacheng, have never looked at people! Ruan Dacheng drank and coerced people, and finally vented the resentment against the Donglin Party and Chongzhen hidden in his heart.

"There are a few catties and taels on the saint, and I knew it the first time I met the saint."

"The saint is stubborn and suspicious, and he is the most anxious, but all the major policies of the country need to be worked hard, and it is not ten years, twenty years, or even fifty years to see the work, but the saint waits for three years at most, and how many major things are worse than the word manipulation."

"However, in the past, he was just doing things, but now, the saint has actually begun to encroach on the merits of the generals to flaunt himself."

"If the saint is not in Xuzhou, then I will rely on the danger of Huanghuai, no matter how bad it is, I can also row the river with Jiannu to rule, but now that the saint is in Xuzhou, I am afraid that the day of death is not far away."

"Sir, be cautious, be cautious!" Zhu Yousong was so frightened that his hair was about to stand on end.

"Why is King Fu afraid? Why be afraid? Liu Kongzhao was also very drunk, and threw the wine cup on the table and roared, "The death of the country is just around the corner, it's nothing more than a dead word, why be afraid?" What a fear! ”

Ruan Dacheng also shouted: "If the saint is not in Xuzhou, then Jingnan Boshang can fight with Jiannu, but this time there is a saint in Xuzhou, then the Ming will undoubtedly be defeated, and will be defeated!" Defeat is assured! ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded outside the window.

There seems to be a fast horse galloping through the bluestone street by the Qinhuai River.

With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, a loud voice followed: "Summer Town Victory!" Summertown's victory! Our great soldiers have achieved an unprecedented victory in Xia Town, Xuzhou, beheading more than 9,000 people! More than a thousand prisoners! ”

Liu Kongzhao frowned and asked, "What are you shouting about?" ”

Zhu Yousong said uncertainly: "It seems to be shouting about the victory of Xia Town, beheading more than 9,000 ......"

Zhu Yousong's voice suddenly stopped, and Liu Kongzhao and Ruan Dacheng also turned their heads suddenly, and the three of them all looked at each other, a little unable to believe their ears.

The next moment, the three of them suddenly got up.

Ruan Dacheng had an unstable center of gravity and fell.

When Ruan Dacheng squeezed to the window and looked out, he saw that the paintings on Qinhuai had already opened the window, and dark clouds were poking out of the embroidery window, looking towards the north bank of the Qinhuai River.

On the shore, a horseman walked away like a whirlwind.

This time, I heard it more clearly: "Xia Zhen is a big victory!" Great victory! ”

"Is this ......" Ruan Dacheng was still a little unconvinced, "won the battle?" ”

"I guess we might have won a battle." Liu Kongzhao almost cried, Daming won the battle in Xuzhou, it is said that he should be happy, but why does he just want to cry?

Zhu Yousong was even more sad, and cried loudly.

"God bless the Ming!" At this cry, many scholars on the shore cried along with the trumpet.

Even the girl and prostitute in the painting boat on the river and the embroidery building on the shore also wiped their tears, which provoked the rich boy who came to look for flowers and ask willows for a while, but Liu Kongzhao and the three of them no longer had the heart to drink flower wine, and ended hastily.

The horseman shouted all the way and went straight to the imperial city of Nanjing in the eastern corner along the bank of the Qinhuai River.

When the good news arrived, Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet, was convening Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and Xie Xuelong to discuss how to appease the imperial historians who were secretly linking.

After Shi Kefa formed a cabinet, he began to supplement the Beijing officials.

Now the Nanjing officials have been replenished by seven, seven, eighty, eight.

As a result, the imperial historian who had just "alternated to enter Beijing" began to secretly connect with each other, threatening to go north to Xuzhou to admonish the monarch before forcing Chongzhen to leave Xuzhou and return to Nanjing to see things.

Gao Hongtu said: "In short, you must stop them." ”

"yes, you can't let them go north." Jiang Yueguang said, "The saint is worried about the southern invasion of Jiannu, and he does not hesitate to defend the border for the country, although it will only cause chaos to the border town in the end, but his original intention is still good." ”

Well, it's not very hurtful, but it's extremely insulting.

Thanks to Chongzhen, he couldn't hear it, otherwise it was very likely that he would die on the spot.

Xie Xuelong also echoed: "Let the imperial historian go north to Xuzhou, it is definitely not possible to let them go north to Xuzhou, but the saint really can't stay in Xuzhou anymore, otherwise it will only add chaos to the border town, if the saint is not there, the border town can still fight, and the saint is here, then the twenty-eight towns of Xuzhou will be defeated!" ”
