"Your Majesty, this is the third letter." Wang Jinchao held an arrow in his hand, and the arrow was wrapped in white cloth.

"Oh? Today is a very new pattern, you might as well read it and listen to it. Chongzhen disagreed, and Wang Jinchao untied the rope that bound the white cloth and took out the folded letter paper.

"Let me guess first, the day before yesterday I was persuaded to sit on an equal footing with Dolgon to rule the world, yesterday was to open the city to welcome the surrender and still be able to be crowned a vassal king to enjoy the wealth, today the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, I'm afraid it's not just for me to seal a Manchu Baturu?"

Chongzhen's sense of humor made the people around him laugh, especially the heralds who often followed Wang Jinchao's side, only to see him looking at his nose and nose, his face was red, and he was obviously holding back extremely hard.

Wang Jinchao glared at the herald, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are illiterate." ”

As soon as these words came out, the problem of the general low literacy rate of lieutenant generals and officers in the army was immediately extended, and Chongzhen smiled and said nothing, silently remembering it in his heart.

But it was Wang Chengen who stepped forward to take the letter and relieved the siege for Wang Jinchao, and Wang Jinchao thanked Wang Chengen again and again for the amnesty.

Everyone knows that this prince is a real royal celebrity, if there is no His Majesty's dictation, ordinary people are difficult to see, and today His Majesty personally inspected the city defense before he showed up to accompany him. Wang Jinchao secretly calculated in his heart, none of these fathers-in-law are easy to send off, do you have to send some filial piety silver after this incident?

Wang Chengen glanced at the letter, leaned down and said to Chongzhen: "Long live Lord, the meaning of Jianyu is the same as yesterday. After speaking, he folded the letter again and handed it back to Wang Jinchao.

These three letters and arrows in a row were all sent by Wu Weihua, who was still not giving up, and he set up a military order in the capital and Dolgon, and vowed to take Shanxi for the master soldiers without blood, but only then did he encounter an iron plate in Datong, so he was not in a hurry.

Chongzhen pointed to Wang Jinchao's side and said, "What's your name?" ”

The herald, who was snickering, saw that His Majesty was asking himself, and quickly stood up straight and replied: "There is no name, the general usually calls the forehead a dog." ”

Wang Jinchao interjected and explained: "This kid is an orphan, and when he picked him up on the side of the road, he happened to be held by a yellow dog by the neck. ”

These hard-working people who were born at the bottom of the floor are not literate, and even having a proper name has become a luxury, and Chongzhen sighs for the status quo of this era.

"Dog, have you eaten enough in the army these days?"

"Back to the emperor's words, eat to your heart's content! Sometimes you can see meat. ”

"That's very good."

Chongzhen nodded approvingly at Wang Jinchao, Chongzhen attaches great importance to the issue of soldiers' food, and the food in the city is given priority to the barracks.

In order to prevent someone from exploiting and greedy ink, Chongzhen personally gave Wang Jinchao a death order, and if a soldier was found to be hungry to defend the city, he would cut off his head as a general soldier.

Standing on the tower and looking east, the plain was full of captured cavalry roaming around.

Cavalry is precious, in order to avoid meaningless losses, Chongzhen took back all the few sentinels on his side, and no longer sent out to the eastern front to reconnoitre, and now he has a black eye on the enemy's intelligence, and knows very little.

But he knew that the day of the decisive battle was very close.

......

If you ask what Shanxi has the most, there are the most mountains, so it is rich in minerals.

Datong to the west, after Wei Yuanwei there is no smooth road, the bare stone mountains are stacked on top of each other, at a glance can not see the edge, the horse harrier leads the night does not harvest most of the slow between the mountains, mostly sheep intestine paths, the ground is full of gravel.

Such a path, riding is very damaging to the war horse, and the horse harrier and others can't bear to damage the horse, so it is not easy to lead the horse on foot all the way.

"Do not collect at night" means that it is not collected at night, and it is named because of the characteristics of being out all night long.

Those who sentry night can go deep into the enemy camp outpost to detect the truth, because what they do is far away from the fort of the pier platform and deep into the rear of the enemy, so it is also called "far sentry night does not collect".

Those who can stay in the camp at night are all elite and have no mediocrity, even if the Ming border army has been eroded so far, the night does not rely on the old foundation to still maintain a good combat power. Similarly, these arrogant soldiers are difficult for ordinary people to control.

And the horse harrier is an unusual person, just looking at his appearance, the yellow horse and white robe holding the horse lance, hidden in the posture of Lu Wenhou in the Later Han Dynasty.

Passing through Shuozhou and passing through Yangfangkou, it is Ningwu Pass.

Ma Harrier did not continue in the direction of Ningwu Pass, but chose to bypass it, heading northwest to the town of Sancha, where he planned to trek all the way along the Zhugul River to Baode Prefecture.

"Okay, that's it, feed the horses first." Ma Harrier commanded his subordinates to camp on the spot, and he found a gentle slope by himself, climbed it alone, and stood on a high place and looked out.

The purpose of his trip was Tang Tong, who had been the chief military officer of Xuanhua and Miyun in the Ming Dynasty. Later, with the eunuch Du Zhiyi of the army to guard the Juyong Pass, Tang Tong was about to fight to the death with the Shun army in front of the pass, Du Zhiyi who stayed in the pass ordered people to open the gate, causing Tang Tong to suffer the enemy on his back and surrender.

In the battle of Shanhaiguan, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were ordered by Li Zicheng to detour to a piece of stone, and were raided by the Qing army led by Dolgon. After Tang Tong led the remnants to break through, he refused to go all the way with Li Zicheng and returned to Baode Prefecture, Shanxi Province to station, which was discovered by the night when he went out to the outpost, and brought the news back to Datong.

Chongzhen asked Ma Harrier to neither fight Tang Tong nor persuade Tang Tong to surrender, but one word, "excited".

Don't look at Ma Harrier's rude speech and behavior, in fact, he is rough and detailed, and his mind is lively, and he understands Chongzhen's intentions in an instant.

According to his own words, isn't it just scolding Tang Tong for his mother, this is simple.

.....

"My lord! My lord! Tang Tong was lying on the couch taking a nap, and the soldiers outside the door hurriedly ran in and woke him up.

"What are you shouting? I don't care about you! Tang Tong closed his eyes and cursed, and was about to fall asleep again.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

Tang Tong lifted the futon, sat up and pointed at the little soldier and said, "If you can't tell the fuck today, I'll kill you immediately!" Say, what's the big deal? ”

The little soldier said with a face full of grievances: "Where did the subordinates dare to disturb the adult's dream!" Outside, the Ming army came, all horsemen, and there were hundreds of them. ”

"Ming Army?!" Tang Tong saw that the little soldier's expression didn't seem to be fake, he was surprised, what the hell is there a Ming army in Shanxi?

"Go, go and bring Lao Tzu's armor."

"Yes."

Tang Tong's body shape was slightly fat, the original armor was a little ill-fitting, and the big belly with a bulging abdomen couldn't be restrained, and the two of them worked together to buckle the belt.

"Which dog is looking for Tang unhappy?" Tang Tong was chattering, and he was about to walk to the gate of the camp when he heard shouting and scolding from outside the camp.

"What kind of pig is a dog, a general soldier and a ghost soldier, let him come to see Lao Tzu quickly."
