Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 14
One side's morale is like a rainbow, and the other side's heart is already cold, and the next thing is to chase and kill them one-sidedly.

It's just that the process of chasing and killing was not very smooth. The Mongols are indeed a nation that claims to live on horseback, and their equestrian skills are superb. At least these half-baked cavalry of the Ming army cannot catch up.

Chongzhen's original intention was to keep all the cavalry of the Gongtu Department in this valley.

But the facts proved that he was thinking too much. Before the Ming army cavalry ambushed in the woods on both sides completely formed an encirclement, a considerable number of Mongolian cavalry had already escaped from the valley and entered the grassland.

Then, the situation becomes a chase.

But how could this kind of competition be comparable to the Mongols?

Although Jin Xuan shot and killed [-] or [-] cavalry by himself, more than [-] cavalry and rabbit cavalry escaped.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent." Jin Xuan said a little ashamedly, "All the Mongolian cavalry who failed to commit crimes in the future are left behind. At least [-] Mongolian cavalry escaped into the depths of the grassland."

"Ai Qing, don't blame yourself. You are not to blame for this matter."

Chongzhen comforted Jin Xuan: "You have done a good job."

This is really not to blame Jin Xuan, because this belongs to the skills of the Mongols.

Just like the vegetable growing skills of the Han nationality, it can crush any ethnic group in the world.

Although Jin Xuan was not to blame, it was an indisputable fact that more than [-] cavalry from the Gongtu tribe escaped. It is estimated that more cavalry from the Gongtu tribe will come back to take revenge soon.

And this time the number will not be only two hundred, there is a high probability that there will be two thousand, or even more.

So now this valley can no longer stay, and I am afraid that the next half month can only be spent in wandering.

Who let Sun Xiangxian, an idiot, poke the hornet's nest of Gongtubu?It is impossible to live in peace.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen turned his head and glared at Sun Xiangxian viciously, this idiot who has done more than failed, must have him eunuched later, eh, no, this guy has already been eunuched.

Sun Xiangxian was almost scared out of his wits by Chongzhen's stare.

At that moment, Sun Xiangxian began to think wildly, would the Holy Majesty kill me?

In order to survive, should I run away?But where does this barren mountain escape?
Fortunately, Chongzhen just stared at him, and shouted again: "Clean up and get out of here as soon as possible!"

While talking, Chongzhen took a waist knife and cut off the Yanling arrow that was still inserted between the gaps in the pocket and visor, but the wound accidentally touched the wound and caused another burst of piercing pain.

"Long live, this old slave will treat your wound."

Wang Chengen walked up to Chongzhen quickly, and said with concern.

Chongzhen did not dare to take it seriously, because most of the arrows used by the Mongols were coated with plant poisons or soaked in corpse water, and were contaminated with a large number of viruses and bacteria. If they were not treated, they would really be infected.

Wound infection is no joke in this day and age.

Wang Chengen pulled out the Broken Arrow very carefully, and helped Chongzhen take off his pocket.

I saw a wound more than two inches long on Chongzhen's right cheek, and a lot of blood flowed out.

"Long Live Lord, you have to be patient." Wang Chengen helped Chongzhen clean up the wound with a dagger. In fact, he scraped off the outer layer of flesh that might be contaminated. That pain!

The cold sweat on Chongzhen's face fell instantly.

Sun Xiangxian looked at Chongzhen even more fearfully.

Ministers such as Wu Linzheng had a new understanding of their emperor.

Leaving aside Wenzhi and martial arts for the time being, the toughness of the Holy Majesty is really catching up with Taizu Chengzu.

After a while, Wang Chengen scraped off the superficial skin and flesh, and then applied Jinchuang medicine on the wound and bandaged it. Chongzhen immediately felt a burst of coolness, and finally it was not so unbearable.

Taking advantage of this gap, other wounded soldiers also seized the time to treat their wounds.

Dozens of musketeers who were killed by arrows were also buried in a pit dug by their companions, but they did not dare to leave their marks.

Chongzhen sighed and asked Wang Cheng'en, "Dear Companion, have you written down the names of the soldiers who died for the country?"

Wang Cheng'en said: "I've written down what I said when I returned to Lord Long Live. Twenty-six of them are slaves in the palace, and nineteen are hereditary military households from the three major battalions."

"Write down the name, and the place of origin."

Chongzhen said: "When the capital is restored in the future, Yin's son or nephew will inherit a hundred households as Jinyiwei."

As a time traveler, Chongzhen was very aware of the benefits of awarding meritorious soldiers or those who died for the country. The reason why they were able to sweep over half of China in such a short period of time after Jiannu entered the customs was because they surrendered to Wu Sangui, Jiang Xing and Li Chengdong. He was not stingy at all, and the earl, marquis, and even the king gave it as he said.

As for whether political status and economic benefits are also given after the title is given, that is another matter.

What's more, even if you give it, you don't have to give it now, and you can tell when you can give it in full, so no matter how you look at it, this is a good deal that can make a profit without losing money.

Jiannu can see this clearly, let alone Chongzhen?

So with one mouth, dozens of brocade guards and hundreds of households will reward it.

"This old slave thanked the Holy Majesty on behalf of these slaves and the Beijing soldiers." Wang Chengen was so moved that he was about to cry.

The rest of the Ming army also looked at Chongzhen with enthusiastic eyes, the Holy One is righteous, if this is the case, there is nothing to regret even if they die in battle, at least they can earn a family for their children and nephews.

There are hundreds of households in Jinyiwei, and they are all officials, big and small!
……

Chongzhen was generous, and Li Zicheng was not stingy either.

After reading Wu Xiang's personal letter to him, and learning from Bai Guangen and Tang Tong that Li Zicheng agreed that the Guan Ning Army should still be handed over to him as commander, Wu Sangui finally laughed.

At that moment, Wu Sangui said to Bai Guangen and Tang Tongdao: "Brother Guangen, Brother Daxuan, please tell the Lord that I will go to Beijing to see you as soon as the [-] Liao people who have moved inland are arranged."

Tang Tong laughed and said, "Brother Chang, have you figured it out this time?"

Wu Sangui said: "He who understands current affairs is a hero. Even if I don't think about myself, I have to think about the whole family of Wu and the [-] Liao people who moved in. I can't be too selfish."

Tang Tong smiled and said, "You're right if you think so."

Bai Guangen said: "Now the three of us can go outside the customs and kill Jiannu side by side again."

Tang Tong said: "Speaking of building slaves, before leaving, the Lord told me that the younger brother will lead the [-] troops from the headquarters to take over from the elder brother to guard Shanhaiguan. I don't know what the elder brother wants?"

"It's all trivial." Wu Sangui said with a smile.

"I will send someone to Shanhaiguan to inform Gao Di."

"Brother Daxuan, just feel free to take over Shanhaiguan."

Wu Sangui thought to himself, it's better for the two of you to go outside the pass to fight Jiannu, I don't want to accompany you anyway, I don't want to go back outside the pass to fight Jianu in this life.

Only by making peace with Jiannu can we have a good life.

After seeing off Bai Guangen and Tang Tong, Wu Sangui invited Wang Yongji and Li Yutian to Xingyuan.

Facing Wang Yongji and Li Yutian, Wu Sangui changed another set of rhetoric: "Wang Dushi, Li Futai, the bandits are powerful and have become a trend, and our Guanning Army alone cannot defeat them. "

"So?" Wang Yongji asked sullenly, "You want to betray and surrender?"

Wu Sangui said: "Director Wang, please temporarily calm down the fury of the thunder, this is just a plan to slow down the troops."

"A plan to slow down the army?" Wang Yongji exchanged eyes with Li Yutian, and said in a deep voice, "How do you say that?"

Wu Sangui said: "On the surface, the last general agreed to return to the bandits, but in fact he has sent Hu Xinshui to lead a thousand family members into the depths of Yanshan Mountain to look for the holy driver. Just waiting to welcome the holy driver back, the two military sects can follow the story of the Tang Dynasty. In the name of the sage, use the soldiers of Jiannu to enter the pass to suppress the thieves, and continue our Ming dynasty for two hundred years."

"Borrow teachers to help suppress?" Wang Yongji and Li Yutian's expression changed suddenly.

It's not that they have never thought about building slaves to suppress thieves, but they never dared to bring it up in front of others.

Because a terrifying atmosphere has formed in the court of the Ming Dynasty, whoever dares to propose a peace agreement, whoever dares to abandon the ancestral mausoleum and move to the south, will be reviled by scholars all over the world, and the official censor will also go crazy With impeachment, the prime minister of the cabinet will follow suit, and then the emperor will not be able to bear the pressure.

There are many such things, and no one dares to mention borrowing teachers to help suppress this.

But now Wu Sangui actually brought it up in front of them.

Wu Sangui said sincerely: "The two military sects should also be aware that last year a slave pass was built, and this spring bandits forced Gyeonggi. The Holy Majesty issued the King Qin Order twice successively, but in the end there were very few who responded."

"Why? Because the world is corrupt, there are really no soldiers left."

"My Guan Ning Army in Ji Town is already the last elite soldier worthy of battle."

"So, apart from borrowing teachers to help suppress, I, Ming, have no other plan."

Li Yutian sighed and said: "At this point, there is really no other way to think about it, but it is easy to use teachers to help suppress, and the price that needs to be paid afterwards is probably astonishingly high."

Wang Yongji remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wu Sangui said: "Jiannu is just a barbarian after all. No matter how big their appetite is, they are no more than rogues. What the rogues want is the world, and they want to take away my Ming Dynasty. Jiannu just wants some people and goods. In order to follow the story of the Later Jin Dynasty, it should be enough to cede the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to Jiannu."

"we can only do this."

Wang Yongji and Li Yutian sighed at each other.

After seeing off Wang Yongji and Li Yutian, Fang Guangchen came out from behind the screen.

Fang Guangchen said with a smile: "As long as Wang Yongji and Li Yutian are stabilized, if there is a matter of using teachers to help suppress in the future, these two people will be the best scapegoats. At that time, my brother will not only take care of the matter, but also don't have to stay. Infamy, and after the two are eradicated, no one in the court can restrain the elder brother, and it is not impossible for the elder brother to enter the cabinet as a military general to pay respects to the prime minister."

"Hey, you're thinking too far." Wu Sangui waved his hands and said, "Let's think about what to do now."

"The thing to do right now is very simple." Fang Guangchen said with a smile, "It's just one word, procrastinate! Let's see if Jiannu is willing to send troops. If so, then use his teacher to help suppress it. If not, then simply surrender to Dashun , and by the way, dedicate Chongzhen to the new dynasty, so that my brother can at least be named a Duke."

Wu Sangui frowned and said, "I still hope that Jiannu can borrow troops."

I have to say, Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen are really naive,

The ambition of building slaves or Dorgon is seriously underestimated.
