Chapter 24 The Society of the Mountains
After the Warats withdrew to their camp, they did not move until dark.
According to the news of Jinyiwei's investigation, a hundred paces away from the Warat camp, continuous screams could still be heard.
Most people shout out, "My eyes, my eyes!" ”
It can be seen that the Warat people rarely use lime powder to sprinkle their eyes in fights, and they don't know that this thing can't be wet, otherwise it will heat up and burn the eyeballs.
Thanks to the hasty preparation time of the Ming army, the purity of the lime powder burned in a hurry was extremely low and the lethality was limited, otherwise, the eyes of the 20,000 cavalry would not be saved.
Rao is like this, and it is enough to give the Warat people a headache.
The sky gradually darkened, and from the direction of Juyong Pass, about 500 soldiers rushed to the front line under the leadership of a veteran.
Outside the camp gate, a garrison officer stepped forward and asked, "Is it Lord Luo?" ”
"It's Luo!" Luo Tong turned over and dismounted, and asked eagerly, "I don't know what the battle situation is ahead, is the emperor okay?" ”
"I just repelled the attack of Warat during the day, and the emperor is waiting for you, please come with me!"
When Luo Tong heard this, he hurriedly followed and came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
"The old minister's deputy envoy Luo Tong knocked to see the emperor!"
"The Qing family is exempt!"
Zhu Qizhen secretly looked at it, and saw that although this person was over the age of six, he was burly, old and strong, with a pair of bright moves, and he looked like a fierce general.
"The Qing family is exempt!"
Luo Tong didn't get up, but said: "The old minister is too late to save the car, please ask the emperor to punish the crime!" ”
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "What is the crime of the Qing family? ”
"The emperor personally led a large army to meet Wara Yexian, and the old minister sat at Juyong Pass, but did not send troops to rescue in time, causing the emperor to be in deep danger, which is a capital crime!"
Obviously, Kuang Yu and others withdrew to Juyong Pass with Wenchen and wounded soldiers, and Luo Tong knew about the battle situation on the front line.
When he heard that the emperor was besieged by the Wara army and was almost in a desperate situation, Luo Tong couldn't hold back any longer, and gathered hundreds of people guarding the pass to go straight to the front line.
Speaking of which, this person is not a military general, but a Wenchen born, a Jinshi of Yongle for ten years, was appointed as the imperial historian and was ordered to patrol Sichuan.
This person was honest and honest during his official period, offended many people, and even was sent to Jiaozhi thousands of miles away because he scolded the emperor head-on.
In the first year of Xuande, Li Li rebelled, Luo Tong led the troops to quell the rebellion, and the rebels fled, after Emperor Xuanzong knew, he recalled him to return to Beijing, and was reappointed as a member of the household department.
Zhu Qizhen's only impression of this person is that when he was transferred to the military department, he went to the palace to thank him, and in addition, he had only seen it in the song.
"Trapped in the civil fort, it is my unfavorable command, what does it have to do with the Qing family?"
Luo Tong was stunned, but he didn't expect the emperor to admit his mistake directly, which was really uncomfortable for a while.
"Your Majesty, don't say that, when the ministers heard it, it was all because of the eunuch Wang Zhen's indiscriminate command......"
Zhu Qizhen interrupted him and said, "I am the boss, and if something happens, it will be blamed on a eunuch, wouldn't it make people laugh out of their big teeth if it is passed out?" ”
Now Luo Tong can't be rectified, you, who are the leader, don't you want to save face?
I've given you steps like this, and you just put the pot on Wang Zhen's head, isn't it beautiful?
"The emperor understands the righteousness, and it is really my luck to be enlightened!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Aiqing is serious, get up and speak!" ”
"Yes!"
Only then did Luo Tong stand up, bow down and say: "The old minister heard Kuang Shangshu say that the emperor made a decisive attack under the siege of the Wara army and defeated the Arazhiyuan, and he admired it very much, I don't know what the current battle situation is?" If you also chase after it first, the old minister is willing to be the emperor's pawn, and if you drag it first, the emperor can withdraw to Juyong Pass first. ”
Zhu Qizhen shook his head with a smile and said, "The Luo Qing family is too worried, and they are now shrinking in the camp and dare not come out." ”
When Luo Tong heard this, his face was a little confused, and he just said that you know that you can change your mistakes, and you know the righteousness, why did you blow it away as soon as you turned your head?
I have to say that although the emperor is young, his bragging skills are still quite level.
also has an army of 120,000 first, and you have 40,000, which is equivalent to three fighting one, and people are beaten by you and shrank in their hometown and don't come out?
What about liars!
"The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the old minister thinks that the emperor should still ...... first"
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, the tent door curtain was opened, Zhang Fu walked in, and when he saw Luo Tong, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Lord Luo, it's been a long time!"
Luo Tong looked up at Zhang Fu, and immediately arched his hand and said, "British duke, long time gone!" ”
Zhang Fu arched his hand at him, and then turned to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, you call me?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "You go and make arrangements, the five military camps will withdraw to Juyong Pass in batches, and you can go down and discuss with Luo Qing's family about the specific retreat route." ”
Zhang Fu asked, "Your Majesty, is this going to be withdrawn?" ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "While the Warat people have not yet found a way to crack the lime bomb, now is the best time to evacuate." ”
"Okay, the old minister will arrange it!"
Zhang Fu is calm and has a strong sense of the overall situation, although the Ming army has the upper hand for a while, he knows very well that this is not a place to stay for a long time, the emperor's body is ten thousand gold, there must be a mistake, who can take care of it?
Moreover, the lime bullet is only suitable for defense, not for offense, after a long time, people will find a way to crack it sooner or later, the emperor is right, or accept it when it is good, take advantage of this opportunity, withdraw quickly!
Zhang Fu and Luo Tong went down to discuss, and an hour later, they came to the Chinese army's tent again.
This time, Chen Ying, Chen Huai, Li Zhen and others came.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have already arranged, and the first batch of evacuees totals more than 5,000 people, mainly the wounded, and they will leave before dawn."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Just do it according to the Qing family's wishes." ”
"The Emperor's ......"
Seeing that Zhang Fu wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Qizhen said: "I and other monarchs and ministers work together to kill the enemy, life and death together, if there is anything that can't be said directly, we have to swallow and vomit!" ”
Seeing Zhang Fu's hesitation, Luo Tong couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others suggested that the emperor be escorted by three thousand battalions to evacuate together." ”
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "I'm not a wounded, why am I in a hurry to retreat?" If the soldiers were to know about it, wouldn't it confuse the morale of the army? ”
Zhang Fu glanced at Luo Tong helplessly, as if to say: Look, I will say that it is impossible for the emperor to agree.
"Your Majesty!" Luo Tong continued to insist, "Please ask the emperor to take the country's society as the priority and withdraw to Juyong Pass first!" ”
"Jiangshan Sheji?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly asked, "I want to ask the Qing family, what is the country and what is the society?" ”
"Jiangshan...... Sheji ......"
Luo Tong suddenly hesitated, yes, shouting Jiangshan Sheji every day, what is Jiangshan and what is Sheji?
"The society is the soil, the grass is the valley, and the society of the country is the ...... Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains......"
