The next day, in the city of Zunhua.

Although a great victory had been achieved, there was no joy on the faces of the Ming officers and soldiers in Zunhua City at this time.

Daming is equivalent to dispatching the two top combat forces of the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, and barely won the two blue flags of the Eight Banners and part of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and this battle is really not so easy to win.

Not to mention the injury of non-commissioned soldiers, as far as the officials who were martyred are concerned, the high-ranking officials lost by the Ming Dynasty include Governor Wang Yuanya, Zunhua General Soldier Zhu Guoyan, Shanhaiguan General Soldier Zhao Shujiao and Datong General Soldier Man Gui.

Inside the General Army's Palace.

"Inspector Yuan, Your Majesty said that you are waiting for our news in Tongzhou, you see?"

Zhang Weixian looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said.

"That's right, British Princess, please bring this letter to Your Majesty! I won't go to Tongzhou. ”

Yuan Chonghuan said that he had already written the recital and handed it to Zhang Weixian.

"What does Inspector Yuan mean by this?"

"This time Jiannu knocked on the pass, I, Yuan, not only have an unshirkable responsibility, but also made frequent mistakes in the process of unifying the army against the enemy, disappointed His Majesty's high expectations, and had no face to see His Majesty."

"Inspector Yuan's words are wrong, there is a way that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and the more this time, the more you have to report to Your Majesty in person."

"Yuan is puzzled, please make it clear to the British public?"

"If you think about it, if you don't report in person, even if Your Majesty has the heart to protect you, I'm afraid those nobles in Beijing won't be able to spare you!"

When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he immediately had a wit.

He knew that Zhang Weixian was referring to the fact that when Jiannu marched into Tongzhou, the Xungui in the capital had impeached him a lot, and the emperor pressed it down for him.

He suddenly woke up, and bowed directly to Zhang Weixian: "Yuan is stupid, thank you Guogong for your order." ”

Jiannu on the way to withdraw troops.

Duoduo looked at Dorgon and asked, "Brother Fourteen, you see, why don't we rest for a while, everyone is sleepy after a night's journey." ”

Dolgon turned around and looked at the centaurs behind him, and said directly: "Yes, then rest in place for half an hour, and then leave immediately after half an hour." ”

After all, he is not completely out of danger yet, so although Dorgon agrees to rest, he has to limit the time, otherwise he will be completely passive on his side.

"Brother Fourteen, there is a question I haven't been quite aware of."

"You say."

"Why did you let Yue Zhen rush back to Shengjing directly to report the news, so you weren't afraid of what he would say in front of Huang Taiji and Dai Shan?"

"Why should I be afraid? We didn't do anything wrong from beginning to end, besides, the second brother Daishan and Huang Taiji knew in their hearts that the death of Amin and the fifth brother would also be more beneficial than disadvantageous for them. ”

When Dodor heard this, he thought that it seemed right, and he said no more.

Just as Dolgon and the others were about to get on their horses and leave, Lin Dan Khan's cavalry was gradually approaching, and Dolgon, who had been alert for a long time, heard the sound of horses' hooves and quickly commanded the two white flags to start retreating.

In fact, Lin Dan Khan and these people are not much better, Dolgon and the others have been on the road all night, and they are the same, so although they watched the distance of Dolgon's rear army, they did not have the strength to pursue anymore.

Hadanbart asked, "Great Khan, can we let them go in vain?" ”

"There's no way, if we chase for a while, we will be adjacent to Shengjing, if the enemy has reinforcements, we will be passive then."

Lin Danhan said angrily.

"But over there? I'm afraid it's hard to explain! ”

"Confess what? Let's go back! Let's unify the Mongolian ministries first."

"Yes, Great Khan".

Lin Dan Khan didn't know, because he didn't insist on pursuing this time, which brought disaster to his future, of course, this is not mentioned for the time being.

In the city of Tongzhou.

The governor of Baoding, Jie Jingchuan, had already come to Mingsheng at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the British Duke Zhang Weixian, and the Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan will return to Tongzhou in the afternoon, do you want to make some arrangements?" ”

"The arrangement will be waived, and I will personally go out of the city to meet them in the afternoon, which I promised them in advance."

"Wechen obeys."

Thirty miles outside the city of Zunhua, on the march.

"Inspector Yuan, what I just told must be firmly remembered."

Looking at Yuan Chonghuan, who was still sad, Zhang Weixian couldn't help but "remind" loudly.

"Grandpa Guo can rest assured, Yuan understands."

Yuan Chonghuan reluctantly smiled at Zhang Weixian and said.

It turned out that Zhang Weixian communicated with Yuan Chonghuan on the way here, and the return of the army to the division this time was a big victory, although there were losses on his side, but for the people of the Ming border pass, it was necessary to have a victory to cheer up.

Moreover, it is necessary to make a triumphant posture sufficiently, so that it is convenient to improve the morale of one's own side, and as for the loss, it is enough to report it to His Majesty the Emperor in private.

When the army entered the city of Tongzhou, it was welcomed by the people in the city, after all, when Jiannu besieged Tongzhou ten days ago, the people in the city were very afraid, and even some people had already made up their minds to escape.

The previous successive failures made the people lose their trust in the Ming border army, and they even lost their trust in the imperial court.

But at this time, the army was triumphant, and escorted Amin and the captured prisoners of the two Blue Flags. This made the people see the determination of the Ming Dynasty to protect the people, and at the same time, deep down they were not as afraid of the Jurchens as before.

Tongzhou General Army.

Ming Sheng feasted the ministers, but when he swept over Yuan Chonghuan's side, he found that Man Gui beside Yuan Chonghuan was gone, and he thought of Yuan Chonghuan's appearance of seeing him stop talking several times, and he understood a little in his heart.

"Luo Yangxing, you go and talk to Yuan Chonghuan, I will see him alone later."

Wechen took the order.

"Everyone, Aiqing, this time not only drove Jiannu back to the outside of the customs, but also dampened Jiannu's spirit, which can really be described as a pillar of the country! Come, this cup of my salute to all Aiqing. ”

As Ming Sheng spoke, he raised his glass directly to everyone, and all the generals got up one after another, thanked His Majesty and drank it all.

The alcohol of this era is not very high in terms of alcohol as a whole, although the Ming Sheng of later generations is not good at drinking, but these two glasses are still fine.

"I know that after the victory in the army, I will more or less drink to celebrate, and I still can't show my love here, so I will leave first, you can wait."

All the generals knelt on the ground one after another, opened their mouths and said, "Your Majesty is sent to you." ”

After Ming Sheng finished speaking, he went straight to the study, he knew that Yuan Chonghuan must have something to tell him directly.

Not long after, Yuan Chonghuan came to the study under the leadership of Luo Yangxing, and after he saw Ming Sheng, he directly kowtowed three times, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, I hope Your Majesty will punish you." ”
