Chapter 457: The World Returns to the Yuan IV

"All men over the age of fourteen shall be beheaded, and Your Majesty shall order that no woman or child shall be killed."

Chen Cao did not kill women, because he knew that now, most of the soldiers in the army were not married, and now after the Ming Dynasty passed through the generations of Jiajing Wanli, the population has decreased sharply, and in the future, he will have to open up North Korea, Yingzhou and other places, population is the top priority, Jianzhou men can not want, but women can't.

Chen Cao caught up with the Eight Banners family members who were more than ten miles outside Lulong at dawn, and after a fierce battle, the Eight Banners cavalry who were guarding the family were all wiped out by the army, and only a dozen horsemen escaped towards the Shanhaiguan area.

"Emperor, the Tartar family is very wealthy, even ordinary flagmen are three or four carts of gold and silver," he said, handing a package to Chen Cao to see: "This is the gold book that has just been seized, and it belongs to the British Duke and several other former dynasty princes. ”

After a short time, Gao Chong's fast horse with the army came to Chen Cao's side and bowed his hand towards Chen Cao: "Emperor, a thousand households of the puppet army Han military banner have identified one person, which is very important. ”

Gao Chong led the way, and a group of soldiers surrounded him under a high hill, on which tents had been erected, and the surrounding area could be described as quiet, which was in stark proportion to the passing troops who were marching rapidly.

Chen Cao went up to the high ground and entered the tent, and there was a young and beautiful woman sitting inside, dressed as a flag man, and there were a few handmaidens who were a little trembling beside her.

As soon as he entered the tent, Gao Chong pointed to the beautiful woman who was sitting and said: "Emperor, it's her, the thousand households confessed, and the one he escorted was the pseudo-queen of Jianzhou Thief Chief Taiji, those two are from the Eight Banners, and the remaining two are the women of our Han family." ”

"Woman, you come."

One of the two Han women who followed was a little trembling, but still saluted: "I have seen His Majesty the Emperor, this is the Empress of Huang Taiji..."

"I am the Mongolian Horqin Division, the Borzigit clan, called Bumu Butai, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, this is polite."

Without the slightest panic, Bumu Butai even snatched the maid's head.

Chen Cao looked at her curiously, and then said, "Since you can be caught, presumably the other women of Huang Taiji are still among the captives, right?" Or maybe the family members deliberately did not identify them. ”

Saying that, Chen Cao looked Bu Mu Butai up and down, this 'big jade' of later generations was really as beautiful as a flower, even Chen Cao swallowed his saliva when he saw it at this moment, which actually made him a little impetuous.

"Zhao Xin," Chen Cao shouted, and only when Zhao Xin walked in did he say, "How many women are there in Huang Taiji?" ”

Zhao Xin thought for a while, and then said: "There is the eldest concubine Zhezhe, as well as the widows of Lin Dan Khan, who are also of the Borzigit clan, Abahai and Namu Zhong; There is also Zarut, the daughter of Borzigit's own clan, and the remaining one is the sister of this Bumu Butai, Hai Lanzhu..."

After Chen Cao listened, the names of these people were familiar, so he nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "I heard that Huang Taiji is also an excellent woman, otherwise there will not be all beauties around him, even Lin Dan Khan's widow He likes it, which is enough to prove the appearance of those two." ”

Saying that, Chen Cao looked at Bumu Butai with a smile, and said word by word: "Okay, I like it, I heard that they have the habit of sharing women in Mongolia and Jianzhou, although I can't share the beauty with my subordinates, but it is feasible for one person to take them all, I want them all." ”

When Zhao Xin heard that Chen Cao wanted a woman, he immediately came up with a familiar car: "Emperor, the minister is going to torture those thousands of households, but it really can't be done, grab a few important family members, don't worry about not being able to identify these people." ”

Chen Cao smiled, then waved his hand to stop Zhao Xin, who was about to act, sat down opposite Bumu Butai by himself, and said with a smile: "The fall of Horqin is already a sure thing, your family gave you to the people of Jianzhou, it is also to make friends, I boast that my appearance is not bad, and I am also handsome and extraordinary, if you want to protect Horqin, be honest and obedient." ”

Bumu Butai is extremely smart, otherwise he would not have been voluntarily confessed, but it also proves from the side that although she is beautiful, she is not at the top of the ranking of Huang Taiji women.

After listening to Chen Cao's words, Bumu Butai had already made a decision: "His Majesty the Emperor is a golden mouth? ”

"I'm the son of tomorrow, so it's good to speak."

Saying that, Bu Mu Butai stared at Zhao Xin and Gao Chong, the two of them didn't know what to do, but the old and slippery Zhao Xin immediately read something from Bu Mu Butai's eyes, and pulled Gao Chong out of the tent.

Seeing the two of them go out, Bumu Butai turned his head to look at the four maidservants behind him: "You go down and wait." ”

When only she and Chen Cao were left in the tent, Bumu Butai stood up and performed a Manchurian blessing ceremony towards Chen Cao, and then quickly took off his clothes and stood naked in front of Chen Cao: "Please also ask His Majesty the Emperor to keep his promise, Horqin is willing to obey the dispatch of the Ming Emperor..."

Gao Chong got out of the tent and was pulled by Zhao Xin all the way down to Gaosaka, and said: "It's not this time for you kid to compete for merit, you will be regarded as the lord of the country in the future, why, do you have to compete with a few of our old brothers?" ”

Zhao Xin didn't speak, he used his mouth to nudge, Gao Chong turned around, and actually found that the four maidservants in the tent all walked out, and then guarded not far from the tent.

Before Gao Chong could speak, there was a burst of women's moaning from top to bottom from Gao Chong, Gao Chong was suddenly shocked, and then Zhao Xin said: "We can't listen to these, go quickly." ”

...

The matter of the capture of the family members spread to Shanhaiguan around the afternoon, but the current Huang Taiji is not in the mood to care about this matter at all, since the beginning of Chenshi, the Ming army arrived at the city of Shanhaiguan and began to attack the city fiercely.

It's just that due to good luck, the heavy rain from the night to the present has not shown the slightest sign of stopping, which also makes it impossible for the artillery on both sides to fire.

However, what Huang Taiji never expected was that Chen Cao specially mobilized twenty field cannons for Weng Linzhi to deal with this situation, and the Shenwu cannons filled with medicine under heavy rain could not be used, so they could only be abandoned in the Guangning avant-garde.

Accompanied by the rumbling cannons and thunder, one after another explosions were reflected in the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan, and the broken city wall was splashed with rubble, and the Han army flag defending the city was howling to the sky.

In this kind of weather, flintlock pistols can still be used, and even a division of Weng Linzhi's headquarters is equipped with rifles, and its combat effectiveness has risen in a straight line in front of the Qing army that can only be passively beaten on rainy days.

"It's not a way to go on like this, Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to immediately break through from the Great Wall at the mouth of Yiyuan, go north to Yingzhou, and retreat directly to the territory of Duoyan Sanwei after entering the Hetao."

"Here?"

Ning Wan knew what Huang Taiji meant, so he said: "Beizi Nikan has a lot of merit, and it is time to be crowned king." ”

The elite of the Eight Banners is going to withdraw and go north to the Hetao...

After coming out of the Yamen of the General Army, Nikan, who had been named the king of the county of respect, even didn't expect to come so quickly, but this king of the county was not so good, and the condition was to let him take people to guard the Shanhaiguan.

This is the main road from the Central Plains to the outside of the Guan, and there are many heavy hoards, a total of 15,000 people in the Guan, and it is not a problem to fight to the death for two or three months, and now it has left five thousand cavalry of the Eight Banners Headquarters to Nikan himself, which is a great funding, and the Huang Taiji is not very demanding, and he will hold on for a month, and then withdraw to the Hetao in the north.

Ilden was also promoted from Gushan Ezhen to Dorobezi, and cooperated with Nikan to guard the Shanhaiguan.

There are nearly 50,000 people in the elite departments of the Eight Banners together, plus 100,000 in the two Mongolian departments, it is more than enough to break through with 150,000 people, this is also Ning Wan's plan, originally he was going to stay in Shanhaiguan, but he was insisted on being taken away by Huang Taiji, after all, it is also the time for his real use.

...

The weather outside the pass was unpredictable, and it was a sunny day with a big sun before, but after the two armies began to fight, it was cloudy, until halfway through the battle, it rained heavily and even thunder and lightning, making both sides of the battlefield feel that the armor on their bodies was particularly difficult.

"King Su, it seems that the cavalry of the Ming army and Chahar is no less than us, and the last general recommends leaving the battlefield as soon as possible and breaking through in the direction of Yingzhou."

Haoge broke through from the Great Wall of Malanyu, rode for only an hour, and encountered the coalition army led by You Shiwei and Ezhe in the territory of Huizhou Wei, and the two sides immediately fought around the Han River Loop, originally Hao Ge thought that the Ming cavalry combat effectiveness was below, and it was certainly not an opponent, but he never thought that the Ming cavalry combat effectiveness was not weak, not to mention, there were countless Mongolian cavalry behind him, and Hao Ge, who realized that the situation was not right, took people to deal with You Shiwei in the territory of the Han River Loop, and was chased all the way to the territory of the Hara River Loop west of the Daning Dusi.

The two sides broke out again into a big battle, fighting until midnight, when suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, thunder and lightning, which made the two sides begin to withdraw their troops from the battlefield.

Ang Bang Zhangjing Chu Litai said again: "King Su, the last general will lead the team to cover the retreat of King Su, this trip, may the immortal heaven protect King Su Quan." ”

Haoge felt a warmth in his heart, and said solemnly: "Chu Litai, if this king can go back safely, you can rest assured, your heirs will all be crowned Dorobezi." ”

"The last general has thanked King Su..."

In the midst of the rainstorm, the two sides who had just rested for a moment moved again in the sound of horns, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were extinguished in the torrential rain and thunder.

After two hours of fighting, Chu Litai finally fell in a pool of blood, and the Hauge army he covered with his life did not escape after all, although it was out of the battlefield, it was still discovered by You Shiwei, and pursued in the direction of Yingzhou with cavalry.

...

As the commander of a battalion of the Han Army Banner, Li Ruzhen was carrying out the order just issued by Huang Taiji at this moment, using his headquarters as the vanguard force to open the way for the army behind.

Li Shaojin's expression was not good-looking, he had just had a few big quarrels with his eldest brother Li Sizhong, and the content involved the question of whether to be loyal, and he was severely reprimanded by Li Sizhong.

Li Ruzhen is also old, nearly sixty years old, so that he feels that riding a horse is already extremely difficult, after the two brothers quarreled, Li Sizhong did not wait for Li Ruzhen to open his mouth and left, Li Shaojin turned his head to look at Li Ruzhen, and knelt down after a while: "This worship, father, take care..."
