In this big battle, the number of participants on both sides was as high as 20,000!

However, it was over in less than half an hour!

Azig, Duoduo and Zilharang in the southeast were originally "exploring the truth and the truth", and they couldn't fight with the Ming army;

Moreover, the Ming army's fighting style was really brutal, and temporarily withdrawing troops to avoid its edge did not violate the military order;

Although the Eight Banners retreated, Sun Chuanting was so angry that his face turned pale!

The cavalry charge is all about coordination, and it is necessary to break up the enemy's formation, forcing them to divide their forces into battle, and take the opportunity to effectively kill and wound the enemy soldiers!

In this battle, the cavalry battalion broke up the enemy formation as soon as it engaged, and it was already half of the victory!

However, he failed to seize the opportunity and effectively kill and wound the enemy soldiers!

Every rider is fighting hard, but they are all swarming to cut their ears!

Because, if you kill one enemy, you will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver, based on your left ear!

The Eight Banners took the lead in retreating, Sun Chuanting was very happy, and quickly withdrew his troops to the south!

Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, we will be wiped out again!

Sun Chuanting withdrew, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry who was killed from Datong did not like to fight, and hurriedly withdrew to the city.

At this time, in the camp of the Eight Banners, more than 200 riders covered their ears and cried like a ghost crying wolf!

So many people have lost not only their left ear, but also their right ear!

These people are lucky!

Because there are still more than 200 people, they have not been able to withdraw it!

"That Ming army is so strong, who is the leader?"

In the face of Huang Taiji's inquiry, Zhong Beile was silent.

After a long time, Dolgon said tentatively: "In the Xiao Cavalry Battalion last month, the leader of the troops was Sun Chuanting, the head of the Ming army;

This time, although it is the same army, the morale and fighting style are completely different!

So, it's hard to tell who the enemy's main general is! ”

"Don't know?" The corners of Huang Taiji's mouth moved, and he suddenly shouted: "Who dares to howl again?" Those who disturb the hearts of our army will be killed! ”

"Huh!"

Soon, there was no more wailing in the barracks!

However, Huang Taiji is still worried!

It's the middle of winter, and the wind is howling!

Inside and outside the Great Wall, the few weeds have long been gnawed clean!

Stay, you can't grab food!

Datong City is tall and thick, difficult to overcome!

To the southeast, there is also an iron cavalry eyeing the tiger!

The withdrawal of troops is long overdue!

Damn Cao Wenzhao!

I fell into his trap!

If we hadn't led the troops back, we wouldn't have suffered more than a thousand casualties!

That's it! It's a long time to come!

The next morning, Hauge and Abatai led 5,000 horsemen to drum and shout outside Datong City, and the golden drums sounded in unison!

The Ming army in the city naturally couldn't hold out!

However, by the time the Ming army reacted, the camp of the Eight Banners had already been emptied!

Sun Chuanting wanted to expand the results of the battle, but he didn't dare to have too much hope for the Xiaocai battalion, and hurried to Datong City.

"I also want to pull Huang Taiji back, but he is disobedient!"

Cao Wenzhao spread his hands, and there was no more rut!

It's true!

The few letters brought by the captives were all lost!

One of them, Duoduo robbed Fan Wencheng's wife and made a big fuss, trying to provoke Fan Wencheng with this, but it didn't succeed!

"Master Sun, I really can't help it!" Cao Wenzhao poured bitter water, and at the same time did not forget to persuade: "Lord Sun, don't chase after you!"

Everyone is a Mongolian horse, how to chase?

Moreover, your war horse is too poor in physical strength!

If you're not careful, you'll be bitten back, which is really not a good deal! ”

"Alas!"

Sun Chuanting sighed heavily and had no choice but to give up!

……

A few days later, the news of the withdrawal of the Eight Banners returned to the Beijing Division, and Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Chuanting wrote to the court, hoping to continue to lead the Xiaocai battalion south to suppress the thieves, but Zhu Youzhen was reluctant!

Because, this cavalry battalion is the capital he is proud of, and it is also his sharp knife!

According to the intelligence, the thieves were beaten by Hong Chengchou and were scattering and fleeing!

It is really a bit of a fuss to use the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to exterminate the thieves, but it is safer to withdraw to the Beijing Division!

The most important thing is that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has lost more than 4,000 horses, which is really distressing!

If anything goes wrong, when will it be reorganized?

If you want to build another cavalry battalion, you can't get enough silver!

However, the multi-way Ming army is chasing the thieves!

If you withdraw to the cavalry camp at this time, will you be gossiped?

is hesitating, Sun Chuanting has a letter of invitation to send again!

Alas!

This Sun Chuanting!

Although courage is commendable, fighting a war is not good!

Look at that Cao Wenzhao, 3,000 horsemen can kill thieves, chickens, flying dogs, and jumping, even the Eight Banners soldiers can't help it!

On the other hand, Sun Chuanting folded 4,000 in less than two months!

didn't settle accounts with him, he was already extrajudicial!

Unexpectedly, dare to continue to ask for war?

If you really beat the cavalry camp, will you be killed, or will you not be killed?

"Long live Lord, if you hesitate, you can ask Sun Chuanting to stay in Shanxi for the time being, wait until the spring break is over, and then summon the ministers to discuss in detail!"

Well, Du Xun's suggestion is good!

Cao Wenzhao strongly recommended it, saying that this person was resourceful, and he was not mistaken!

That's it!

Huang Taiji has been withdrawn, and the thieves can be broken, so I will also take advantage of this spring break to relax!

The Spring Festival is the most solemn festival of the Han people!

Every Spring Festival, the people will put down their work and reunite with their families to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, officials of all sizes in the imperial court and local governments have enjoyed vacations during the Spring Festival.

This system continued until the Tang Dynasty.

In the Song and Yuan dynasties, spring break was not only not canceled, but increased to one month!

Moreover, in addition to spring break, winter solstice and the emperor's birthday, as well as New Year's Day, Lantern Festival, Zhongyuan and Mid-Autumn Festival, officials also have different time off!

By the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the annual legal vacation time of officials had increased to more than 50 days!

In fact, the emperor wanted to take a vacation more than an official!

I wish every day was a holiday!

Therefore, as long as it is on vacation, if there is no special matter, the emperor will never easily "disturb" the minister!

Everybody's happy!

In Kunning Palace, Queen Zhou prepared a family banquet early.

The prostitutes of the teaching workshop who were temporarily recalled from the Qinglou are continuously playing songs such as "Greeting the New Year", "Happy New Year", and "Wishing you prosperity" composed by Wang Li, which makes people feel happy!

Because of Huang Taiji's withdrawal, Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood.

As soon as they entered the palace, Queen Zhou and the three concubines hurriedly got up to greet each other.

"Today is the Chinese New Year family banquet, there are not so many rules, everyone just have fun!" Zhu Youzhen glanced around, frowning slightly: "Hey, why hasn't the Queen Mother arrived yet?" ”

"As in previous years, the concubines have sent people to invite them three times, but the two queen mothers like to be quiet and don't want to come!

Wait until you have eaten the family banquet, and then the concubines will go over separately to say goodbye! ”

Zhu Youzhen was slightly displeased, but he didn't say much, let alone show it.

At this time, there were two queen mothers in the palace.

The Empress Dowager Xiaohe was the mother of Emperor Xizong Zhu Youxiao;

Empress Dowager Xiaochun is the mother of the current emperor Zhu Youzhen;

Perhaps because of Zhu Youxiao's early collapse, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe has always been depressed;

All the celebrations in the palace, she refused on the grounds of "liking quiet";

Maybe it's the feeling of taking care of the "sister", all the celebrations in the palace, the Empress Dowager Xiaochun does not participate;

In this regard, Zhu Youzhen has long been accustomed to it.

After taking a seat, I wanted to ask Zhang Yan why she didn't come, but when she saw her three sons sitting at the table, she remembered Zhu Huijiao again!

Noticing that Zhu Youzhen's face was wrong, Empress Zhou hurriedly handed over a letter.

"Long live the lord, this is a letter sent by the prince of Xichang, the chief eunuch Li Dehui;

Gonggong Li specially told his concubines that on the night of the New Year, please ask Long Live Lord to read it in person!

Presumably, it should be a happy event! ”

Hearing that it was Wang Li's letter, Zhu Youzhen's face was overjoyed and he hurriedly took it.

This Wang Li really has a heart!

Every Spring Festival, no matter where he is, there will always be a letter delivered!

Every time, it's a happy event!

"Sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six taels!"

Reading out this number, Zhu Youzhen was really overjoyed!

Originally, Zhu Youzhen was ready to fail in Sichuan's pilot change!

At the beginning of the reform, it was promised that Sichuan could defer the payment of taxes for three years!

Unexpectedly, not only did he not defer the payment, but also paid more and more year by year!

Last year it was 300,000, and this year it has more than doubled!

These are not taxes paid to the household department, but directly handed over to themselves!

In addition, there are 200,000 taels of tariffs in Fu and Zhejiang provinces!

With these two sums of silver, the coming year will be much better!

"Long live the lord, this is the old bacon sent from Sichuan by the factory father, you must try it;

This is a spicy and sweet sausage sent from Sichuan by the factory father, and you should also try it;

In addition, Fifty Altars of Water Wells and Fifty National Cellars 1631 were also delivered;

By the way, in addition to a few cockatiels, there are also a few well-behaved puppies...... Belch...... What's this dog's name......

"Thai...... Teddy ......"

"Uh, yes, my sister is right, this dog is called Teddy, it's so cute......"

The concubines were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, and Zhu's was in a good mood!

Wang Li is not around, but it is more worry-free than Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun!

When he succeeds in changing the law and returns to the capital division, shouldn't he be allowed to serve as the "admiral eunuch" of the celebrant eunuch?

This prince is really a genius given to me by God!

With him, why don't you worry!

The fine wine brewed in Sichuan is really different!

Mellow in the mouth and long aftertaste!

Drunk, drunk!

After a few glasses of wine, Zhu Youzhen was already fluttering!

Guotai Min'an, beautiful wine, carefree, what more can you ask for!

……

Such days continue until the Lantern Festival!

This Spring Festival, for Zhu Youzhen, is more comfortable than ever!

However, on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month......

"Ah......h

A heart-rending howl that suddenly broke the tranquility of the palace!

Zhu Youzhen, who was asleep, sat up suddenly!

Pale and sweaty!

The whole body trembled, and the eyes suddenly became boss!

"Don't ...... Don't ......"

Zhu Youzhen's throat made a terrifying and weird sound!

Queen Zhou, who woke up, hadn't come back to her senses yet, and Zhu Youzhen suddenly kicked off the quilt and turned over to stay!

Staggering, like a headless fly, stumbling around the house!

This looks like you're looking for something, and it's like you're hiding from something!

"Long live the ......"

Queen Zhou can't care about the cold, let alone her disheveled clothes!

Jumped down and hugged Zhu Youzhen to death!

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen is like being caught in an evil spirit, he will arrest people when he sees them, and he will beat them when he sees them!

After a few punches, Queen Zhou was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and she still refused to let go!

"Long live the lord, long live the lord!

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!

It's just a dream, it's just a dream......

Come on, come on, come on......"

It seems like a long time, and it seems like an instant!

Several eunuchs hurriedly entered the palace, and it took a lot of effort to finally control Zhu Youzhen!

However, at this time, Zhu Youzhen was still shouting hysterically!

What he shouted, no one could understand!

It looks like I'm still in a nightmare and haven't woken up!

Countless eunuchs and countless palace maids surrounded them, all helpless!

I can only shudder and watch all this in horror!

However, fortunately, Zhu Youzhen gradually calmed down!

Rubbing his eyes, looking around, looking at Queen Zhou, she seemed to understand something, and her face was full of guilt.

"Yu'er, I ...... Didn't it hurt you......"

"Don't worry about the concubines, it's good if the lord wakes up, it's good to wake up......"

"No, no! Hooray, it's okay! ”

Empress Zhou squeezed out a smile, took the robe handed by the maidservant, hurriedly put it on Zhu Youzhen, and then moved the brazier in front of him.

"Long live Lord, warm up first, don't catch a cold!

Xiaocui, why hasn't the ginger soup been delivered yet, hurry up! ”

"No need!"

Zhu Youzhen struggled to stand up, ignoring the cold sweat on his head, and grabbed Emperor Zhou's hand:

"Yu'er, I ...... It's like a dream!

It's horrible!

It's horrible!

But what exactly is in the dream?

Why can't you remember it at all?

That's right, Riding Camp!

Hurry up, transfer the Xiaocai Battalion back to Beijing!

Right away! ”

In muttering to himself, Zhu Youzhen was trembling again!

His face was pale and he was sweating profusely!

Such frightened and helpless, where is it like an emperor!

It's more like a bullied child, who doesn't dare to cry and can only look for his mother everywhere!

This scene made Queen Zhou feel painful and pitiful!
