Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 292

It is more than three hundred miles from Shangqiu to Xuzhou.

Bahan really finished the run in just one day.

In the evening, when Ba Hanzhen and other riders returned to Xuzhou, more than a dozen war horses had already run to the point of foaming at the mouth, and two war horses even fell to the ground whining.

Ba Hanzhen himself was exhausted to death.

In the end, he was helped to the Chongzhen Emperor.

"My lord, Jianu is going to dig the embankment of the Yellow River."

Ba Hanzhen was panting violently, his chest was like a bellows.

When Chongzhen heard the words, he immediately shouted: "Pass the decree, gather the scholar camp! Call Du Yinxi, Jin Shenghuan, Wang Zuntan and Ma Huabao to see me again, go quickly!"

Several young eunuchs flew away.

Zhu Cijiong also flew away to gather the scholar camp.

Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen again: "Wang Daban, put on armor for me!"

"Father!" Zhu Cihong became anxious immediately, and said, "I'd better let my servant go for you."

"Are you going?" Chongzhen waved his hands and said, "Long'er, you are talented and intelligent, calm in situations, and have a rare benevolence. You will definitely be a good emperor in the future."

"Father!" Zhu Cihong was horrified, because from Chongzhen's tone, he could hear the first-class meaning of farewell.

Gao Qiqian and Lu Jiude also knelt down on the ground, crying and begging: "Long live, you are a body of ten thousand gold, you must not be in danger, let the old slave go out on your behalf."

"If the prince can't do it, you can't do it even more." Chongzhen said with a determined face.

"This is a field battle, not a battle to defend the city. You are definitely not Jiannu's opponents. Even if you are against the Jiannu army, you will be defeated and invincible. The only thing you want is to protect the river embankment."

They really came here for whatever they were afraid of. Just now they were still discussing whether Jiannu would dig the embankment of the Yellow River frantically. As a result, Jiannu really planned to dig the embankment of the Yellow River.

Now Chongzhen really had no choice.

Not only to be saved, but also to conquer in person.

Because if Jiannu were to dig the embankment, it would be a big trouble.

The most immediate trouble is, of course, that Kaifeng, Guide, Xuzhou and even Huai'an will all be transformed into a country within ten days and suffer an unprecedented flood.

Hundreds of thousands of people will suffer catastrophe and turn into fish and shrimp in the water.

Millions of people will be displaced and turned into disaster victims without food and clothing.

Moreover, this is just the beginning. There will inevitably be locust plagues after the flood, and the entire Central Plains will be a disaster area in the next few years. In the next five or even ten years, the finances of the Ming Dynasty will be dragged down by the Central Plains.

Within ten years, Daming would not even think about the Northern Expedition to restore the capital to the Central Plains.

By that time, Jiannu might have already established a firm foothold in Hebei.

This disastrous result was unacceptable to Chongzhen anyway.

Therefore, even if the frontier troops in several towns are defeated, Jiannu must be prevented from digging the Yellow River embankment.

The good news is that most of the founding slave army has gone far, and the ones left should be partial divisions.

Facing the main force of Jiannu, even if Chongzhen summoned [-] frontier troops from towns plus [-] township warriors from Huai'an Prefecture, it would not be worth a single point to fight in the field.

Soon, Du Yinxi, Jin Shenghuan, Ma Huabao and Wang Zuntan rushed to Xingyuan.

When the four of them walked in, they saw that Chongzhen was already dressed neatly, even putting on the phoenix-winged helmet.

"My lord, what is this?" Du Yinxi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Are you going to conquest yourself?"

"Duqing, let's make a long story short." Chongzhen nodded and said, "Jiannu wants to dig up the Yellow River embankment and flood Kaifeng, Guide, Xuzhou and even Huai'an mansions. I have to stop them!"

"After I lead the border troops of the three towns to leave, Xuzhou will be garrisoned by you."

"During the period, you only need to keep the flood area well, and no matter what happens, you must not leave the flood area without permission."

After a pause, Chongzhen exhorted again with a more emphatic tone: "Even if I am trapped in Kaifeng Mansion."

Chongzhen was still cautious, worried that this might be Jiannu's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, that's why he gave this order. In fact, he also knew that the possibility was very small.

Because it is not so easy to use the meter.

"The minister leads the decree." Du Yinxi had a look of sincerity and fear.

Jin Shenghuan, Wang Zuntan and Ma Huabao had bitter expressions on their faces, and they were going to fight again?
Going out is going to go out, and this time you will have a field battle with Jiannu?It's really bitter.

Chongzhen did not give the three of Jin Shenghuan a chance to complain, and turned his head and shouted: "Hurry up and gather the troops, and gather outside the west gate in half an hour!"

……

Tun Qi was also complaining.

Because people in the Ming Dynasty didn't talk about martial arts ethics, they beat more and less, group fights.

By the time of application in the afternoon, there were already more than [-] naval warships of the Ming Army gathered near the veterinary entrance, and the number of officers and soldiers of the Ming Army Navy also exceeded [-].

Then the Ming army put the naval warships about thirty steps away from the river bank.

Although this distance is already within the killing range of the Dashao bow, it is useless, because there are guard plates and battlements on the sides of the bird ships of the Ming army navy to provide shelter.

In fact, there are still some caravans left in Xianglanqi.

And pushed the cart to the river bank, but it was useless.

Because there are Hongyi cannons on the side of the navy warships of the Ming army.

After just a few rounds of volleys, there were not many remaining dozens of vehicles in the Xianglan Banner.

Qi Ding, who was hiding behind the car, also suffered heavy casualties, and was immediately driven off the embankment.

After driving Jiannu off the river embankment, the navy of the Ming army dispatched sampans, sent the musketeers to the river embankment, and then stood on the river embankment and shot down the coat that dug the embankment.

The bannermen of the inlaid blue flag fought back with a large bow.

But the navy of the Ming army also had a wooden sign at the front.

After a few rounds, the white-flag-trimmed coating couldn't hold up.

It's useless for the flag Ding with the blue flag to chop people behind with a saber.

Tun Qi saw that this was not possible, so he had to transfer more bannermen from Zhongmou City.

Later, Tun Qi even transferred all the banner men of the Xianglan Banner to the veterinarian's mouth.

At this time, Xianglan Banner had a total of 37 Niulu, but after the disastrous defeat at the foot of Shanyang City, almost none of them could remain full, so the total number of bannermen was only [-], which was almost halved.

Faced with more than [-] flagmen, the Ming army navy finally couldn't hold it anymore and was forced to retreat to the ship.

However, the bannermen of the Xianglan Banner did not dare to go up the river embankment, because the warships of the Ming army navy had Hongyi cannons, and going up the river embankment was purely death, and such a stupid thing could not be done.

The situation has reached a stalemate.

The coat with the white flag started to dig the river bank again.

However, the good times didn't last long. In the evening, Yi Ding of the Ming army arrived.

These barbarians of the Ming army were even more disgusting. Relying on their superb riding skills and excellent riding skills, they rode in groups of three and five, and played hunting and anti-hunting with the bannermen of the Xianglan Banner.

Although Xianglan Banner has an absolute advantage in numbers, but is limited by the simple and flat terrain, it is at a disadvantage in this wrong kill game, losing dozens of cavalry in less than half an hour.

Tun Qi saw that this was not going to work, so he quickly withdrew all the bannermen.

Then they sent more than [-] Bala soldiers with Xianglan Banner to fight against Yiding.

Now the situation was reversed, the Ming army Yiding was chased by the Bala soldiers with the inlaid blue flag and ran around.

But he pressed down the gourd and picked up the ladle. Taking this opportunity, the navy of the Ming army ran to the river embankment again, and exported a meal to the veterinarian who was desperately digging the embankment, and quickly reimbursed hundreds of coats.

Busy in the middle of the night, it was hard to drive the Ming army's navy back to the ship, and at the same time keep the Ming army's Yi Ding at the periphery. As a result, the Ming army's cavalry battalion arrived.

As soon as the cavalry arrived, the Ming army Yiding and the Ming army navy also counterattacked at the same time.

This time Xianglan Banner immediately lost sight of one thing and lost another, and couldn't stand it anymore.

Taking advantage of the short interval when the main force of the Xianglan Banner was restrained by the cavalry and navy of the Ming army, about [-] cavalry Yiding seized the opportunity to rush into the veterinarian's mouth and killed thousands of coats who were digging the embankment.

When the Bala soldiers with the blue banner arrived, they saw that the gap was full of wrapped corpses, and no one was panting.

Meilezhang Jinglanbai said to Tun Qi: "Master Gushan Ezhen, the coats left by the Nine Kings are dead, what should we do now? If we dig any more, we will have to do it ourselves, the bannermen with the inlaid blue flag." gone."

Tun Qi was also a little blind, because Dorgon left more than [-] coats.

Among the more than [-] coats, he himself killed more than [-], and the Ming army navy killed [-] to [-].

The remaining more than a thousand were also wiped out by the Ming army Yiding, and now there is no one left.

At this time, a Jiala Ezhen suggested: "Master Gushan Ezhen, why don't you catch some Ahas and come back to dig the embankment? In short, the embankment of the Yellow River must be dug, otherwise the banner owner will be very troublesome."

Obviously, this Jiala forehead really belongs to Jierhalang's loyal lackey.

But Lanbai is not a loyal dog of Jierhalang, and immediately said angrily: "It's easy for you to say, where can this black light go to catch Aha? Besides, is there any Aha nearby to catch? I can't even find a dog .”

After finishing speaking, Lan Bai turned back to Tun Qi and said, "Master Gu Shan'er, why don't you hurry up and withdraw?"

"Withdraw?" Tun Qi was a little moved, but also worried, "If we just withdraw like this, what will happen to the embankment?"

"What do you care about the embankment? Besides, haven't we already dug the embankment of the Yellow River?" Lan Bai said, "And we dug it twice, but it was blocked again by ourselves. We can't blame us for that."

Tun Qi still hesitated, frowned and said, "If we just withdraw like this, I'm afraid it's not good?"

"My lord, if you don't withdraw, you won't be able to leave." Lan Bai became anxious immediately, "Don't you see it? The Ming army is coming to Zhongmu in a steady stream, first the Ming army navy, then Yi Ding, Then there are the cavalry, if we don’t leave, maybe Chongzhen, the dog emperor, will lead the army to come here when the sun rises tomorrow.”

Hearing this, Tun Qi no longer hesitated, that's right, Xianglan Banner can't be buried here.

Before setting off from Beijing last year, he had personally promised Jierhalang that he would bring the bannermen of the Xianglan Banner back to Beijing. Now nearly half of the bannermen have been lost, and the remaining bannermen can no longer be lost. .

At that moment, Tunqi shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu Niulu, retreat to Heyin!"

It is related to the survival of the Xianglan Banner, so Tunqi can't take care of Dorgon's royal order.

In short, he can die if he gathers together, but the 37 Niu Lu of the Xianglan Banner can't be fine.
