Chapter 114: Desolation and Glory
Shenyang to Tieling is only more than 100 miles.
Zu Dashou and Man Gui can't remember how many girls they have killed. Anyway, as long as you encounter the Jurchen tribe along the way, you will kill if you see the tail of the money rat. By then it had become numb.
There were not many soldiers defending the city in Tieling, but they also got the news in advance, and the city gate was closed when they arrived. Zu Dashou led the cavalry outside the city to shout and ridicule, and the guards in the city just couldn't shrink out. In desperation, after wreaking havoc in various forts along the way, he embarked on the way home.
When the battle has reached this point, it is no longer possible to simply look at how many people have been killed. The impact on Jiannu is extremely bad.
Since ancient times, wars have been fought with the elimination of the living forces of the other side as the criterion for victory.
Although they were not able to eliminate many Jiannu soldiers, they did kill many children who would become future warriors, or women who trained warriors.
War is cruel.
When they wait at home for their husbands and sons to go to other people's homes to smash and loot, they should be ready for today.
The soul under the saber and the triumph on the horseback.
Dropped one by one.
Will they wake up?
Probably not.
Huang Taiji naturally didn't know that there was a fire in his backyard.
He led the remnants all the way north, passing through Bulge Sutai, crossing the Liao River and Xibotu Road, and then eastward through Narit and Yangximu River. Finally returned to the home he had missed for a long time.
Looted home.
When Huang Taiji's army appeared under Shenyang City, the generals defending the city widened their eyes.
Obviously the Great Khan's soldiers and horses. Why does it seem?
Well?
Shrinked?
He did not dare to delay, opened the city gate, and reported it to Amin.
A group of soldiers led by Huang Taiji entered the city.
As soon as they entered the city, they were stunned.
What's going on?
When you left, you were fine, why did you come back and the house burned so much?
We're fighting to the death outside. Are you burning down your house at home?
Huang Taiji endured the doubts and anger in his heart, and walked silently at the front of the team, without welcome. The atmosphere in the city was oppressive and poignant.
Finally.
Amin is here.
With an embarrassed face, he reported to Huang Taiji what had happened recently.
Huang Taiji's face turned pale after hearing this, and he didn't look at it.
He made a detour to Mongolia and ran thousands of miles, thinking of smashing Huanglong, but he was smashed into an earthworm by the Ming army.
I didn't expect to go home and find that even my home was being humbed.
After a while, Huang Taiji came back to his senses!
I left you 10,000 elite banners! You don't fucking defend well, what are you going to fight Mao Wenlong!?
If you don't divide your troops, how can you end up in this field?
The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more angry he became, just like a man who had failed in his business outside came home and found that his wife had been! Not only did you not enjoy the warmth of home, but you also had to deal with a bunch of messes.
He raised his whip and pointed it at Amin's face!
Amin was caught off guard and was beaten. A bloody wound immediately appeared on the face.
"You hit me?" Amin stared at Huang Taiji with wide eyes.
I'm your brother!
You beat me with a horse in front of so many people?
Did I lose the battle? How good are you?
Amin walked away without looking back.
Huang Taiji regretted it after the fight, and when he saw Amin's back, he wanted to stop him, but he opened his mouth and said nothing. Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan looked at Huang Taiji calmly, said goodbye and left, and returned to their mansion.
It's night.
Huang Taiji sat alone at the round table.
On the table, there is a rich table of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
"Great Khan, Great Baylor said he was unwell and rested." A soldier walked in and whispered.
Huang Taiji waved his hand and motioned for him to step back.
He held a banquet tonight and invited Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai. But the dishes were cold, and no one arrived.
"Great Khan! Amin Belle led the soldiers with red flags to open the city gate and go out of the city! ”
"What!?"
Huang Taiji stood up reluctantly!
"Hurry up and chase them! Never mind...... Don't go. After saying that, he sat down again, picked up the flask and poured it hard.
He knew that he was the Great Khan from this day on.
Exist in name only!
The words are divided into two ends, and Zhu Youzhen is excited here.
Zhang Weixian has been back in Beijing for several days. It's the result of dragging and stopping all the way.
It's nothing, it's just a victory, show off! Dether!
When the news of the Jingying breaking into the Guanjiannu and killing more than 60,000 enemies was transmitted back to the Beijing Division! The opposition is shaken! The people of Beijing put up lanterns and set off firecrackers, which is more lively than the New Year!
When the soldiers of the Beijing camp arrived at Desheng Gate.
Thousands of people in the entire capital are empty, and they all run to meet the victorious army!
Zhang Weixian rode a high-headed horse, walked on the wide stone road in the capital, and enjoyed the cheers of the people one after another.
He was drunk.
It's more enjoyable than playing poker three times in one sitting.
The soldiers behind him were also red-faced.
This moment.
They felt the support of the people!
They know what it means to defend their home and country!
They understand what a sense of honor is!
The capital is so big that they lose their eyes if they are not careful.
The capital is so small that the road comes to an end in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Youzhen inspected them outside the Chengtian Gate.
gave them the highest praise, gave them the promised high-ranking officials, and gave them the promised death pension.
In this way, the depression left over from the battle of Salhu was swept away.
Daming's crest beam is still so straight.
A few days later, when the atmosphere of victory waned slightly.
The impeachment of Zhang Weixian flew like snowflakes in front of Zhu Youzhen's coffin.
"Or is it?"
"Yes, long live. These are all recitals for today's impeachment of the British public. After speaking, Wang Chengen gently patted the half-human-high fold.
"Let's stay in the middle! As long as it is the impeachment of the British public, it will be put aside for the time being. I can't let me be quiet for a few days. ”
After speaking, Zhu Youzhen stood up and prepared to go out for a walk.
"Hooray. Cabinet Fan Jingwen and the ministers ask to see! "A little eunuch came in to give a report.
"Let them go to Hongdejeon and wait!"
It's already the third day, and if you don't see it again, it's estimated that a few pavilion elders will go crazy.
Zhu Youzhen rubbed for a while and came to the Hongde Palace. Fan Jingwen and the others were standing there neatly waiting for him.
"You ministers are in a hurry to see me, what are you doing?" Zhu Youzhen smiled and pretended to be a lake.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have come to do nothing more than the British Princess! I beg your majesty to give me an explanation, otherwise. It's hard to block the mouth of the court! Fan Jingwen didn't give in, and directly knelt on the ground and took the lead in speaking, with the momentum that I won't get up if you don't give an explanation.
"British duke? He's won the battle, and I've already rewarded him. What else? ”
"Your Majesty! The British brutalized more than 30,000 innocent people. Even if he won the battle, he couldn't hide his sins! He's the butcher! Executioner! Thirty thousand people! How can he do it!
! ”
Fan Jingwen didn't care whether the emperor pretended to be a lake or not. It's straight to the point.
The five of them had already made up their minds before they came.
If His Majesty does not dispose of the British duke, they will immediately ask the beggar bones to return home.
This paper lake pavilion is old, don't do it!
Seeing a few people with sad and angry faces, Zhu Youzhen also knew that he couldn't go on anymore. Today I have to give an explanation anyway!
"What do you think I should do with Zhang Weixian?"
"Show the public!" The five said in unison.
Zhu Youzhen involuntarily took a breath, you old gangsters are quite ruthless.
"Since Zhang Weixian took charge of the Beijing camp, he has been conscientious and demeritorious. This time, he led the soldiers of the Beijing battalion to break the Jiannu Mongol coalition army and beheaded more than 60,000 enemies. It is my Ming Dynasty to the outside world, a great victory that has not been seen in a century! You say that he slaughtered the people, but at that time the situation was critical, Jiannu drove the people to rush into battle, and poured fire oil on his body and carried "ten thousand enemies" on his back, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp were burned to death by four or five thousand in a moment. Zhang Weixian had no choice but to give the order to attack. You say, "The life of the people is life." Is a soldier's life a life? ”
"If the Jingying loses the battle this time, I'm afraid that more than 30,000 people will die, right? The people of Gyeonggi might have been lucky enough to save their names under the iron heel of Jiannu? Now you want me to order Zhang Weixian's head to be shown to the public, then I will ask you. Was he really wrong? He just made the right decision at the right time, albeit cruelly. But, is he really wrong? ”
Zhu Youzhen's words silenced several people.
"The ministers understand. But the British duke had to be fined! After a long time, Fan Jingwen spoke again.
"Then how do you say it's punished? Anyway, it's impossible to show the public! I can't let the soldiers who just won the battle for me chill their hearts! Zhu Youzhen said impatiently.
"Strip the British dukedom and position, and demote it to a commoner!"
"Impossible! I'm not sure! ”
"Then please beg for bones." All five of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed at the same time.
Give the order! It's you who is forcing it!
Zhu You looked at the five unrelenting ministers and sighed. Lonely Tunnel:
"Get up, I'm ready!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The cabinet of five is gone.
The purpose of punishing the British Duke was achieved. The court was full of mouths. Everyone was happy.
After a few people left.
Zhu Youzhen stood up and stretched.
"Wang Banban, in the evening, ordered someone to send Fan Jingwen a 10,000 taels of global premium recharge card. Tell him: Today, I am very satisfied! ”
