Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

For the next half a month or so, the main force of the Ming army led by Chongzhen remained stationed at Dagukou. They did not rush to advance to Beijing by land, but quietly waited for the arrival of the second batch of three towns.

The main force of the Qing army led by Hong Chengchou was busy strengthening the Weihe defense line.

On the basis of nearly a hundred original blunderbuss platforms, hundreds of them were rushed to repair.

In just over half a month, a large number of blunderbusses were scattered along the banks of the Wei River.

……

On the Liaodong side, Wang Fuzhi had brought an infantry brigade plus [-] North Korean troops to the old battalion of Horqin Zuoqian Banner to join Zhu Cijiong's army. Since then, nearly [-] troops have been eating and drinking.

Nearly 3 people have to eat [-] sheep and [-] shi of rice every day.

In addition to eating and drinking, Zhu Cijiong also ordered the women of the Horqin tribe to perform songs and dances for the soldiers of the Ming army.

At the beginning, the women in Horqin were extremely resistant, but after a few days of starvation, these women gave in.

Because what Zhu Cijiong was hungry was not these women themselves, but their children. These Horqin women didn't care about starving themselves, even if they starved to death, but they couldn't bear their children to starve.

Regardless of race, children are always the mother's weakness.

For example, at this moment, there are more than a dozen Horqin women singing and dancing in the king's tent.

Zhu Cijiong was sitting on the Khan seat, Wang Fuzhi, Xia Wanchun and a dozen other scholars sat on the Persian carpets on both sides, and Lin Qingye, a veteran of North Korea, was also present.

After drinking for three rounds, the scholars gradually became dissolute.

Two scholars even got up to dance with the Horqin woman.

While dancing together, his hands were groping all over the woman's body.

The other scholars laughed, but Zhu Cijiong didn't stop them.

Zhu Cijiong himself disdains to do this, but he will not stop others from letting go.

Although the controversy over rituals in the eight prefectures and one prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River is in full swing, and some people even blatantly shouted slogans for equality between men and women in the newspapers, this is ultimately limited to the area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River.

In other places, women are only the property of men after all.

The Horqin women are even more so, a group of barbarian women.

But soon, the ambiguous atmosphere in the tent was broken by a gust of cold wind.

It was Xu Wuniu, the head of the scout post, who lifted the curtain and strode in.

Xu Wuniu walked up to Zhu Cijiong, and whispered something in his ear.

Zhu Cijiong's eyes lit up instantly, and his whole body became extremely excited.

The scholars in the tent had a premonition that something big was going to happen, so they sat up from the Persian rug one after another. The two scholars who were messing with the Horqin woman also stopped, with expectant expressions on their faces.

"Su Moer." Zhu Cijiong turned his head to look at Lagu Su Ma.

"I heard that you were born in Horqin Zuoqian Banner?"

"Returning to the master, the servant is a domestic servant of the Qibu and Baylor family in Horqin Left Wing Center." Aunt Su Ma replied respectfully, "Later, she married Concubine Zhuang to Shengjing, and the servant was only six years old when she arrived in Shengjing."

Aunt Su Ma married Bumbutai to Shenyang when she was six years old, so she has no impression of her parents and family and Horqin Zuoyi Zhongqi, let alone any special complex.

It's just that Aunt Su Ma can speak Mongolian very fluently.

During this time, Aunt Su Ma has been responsible for interpreting for Zhu Cijiong.

"So, these are all relatives of your family, then things will be easy to handle."

Zhu Cijiong had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Tell them, don't stop tonight, stay in the king's tent to sing and dance, if you are tired, you can take a rest, if you are thirsty, you can drink Mingjiu, but who If you dare to stop for a long time without singing or dancing, or walk out of the king's tent, you will definitely be punished."

After a short pause, he said again: "Not only will they be beheaded, but their children will also be beheaded!"

Aunt Su Ma turned her head, translated Zhu Cijiong's words into Mongolian, and told the Horqin woman the truth.

More than a dozen Horqin women showed panic and danced quickly, and a few women with loud singing voices even sang loudly.

"Hahaha, that's right, that's the right thing to do."

Zhu Cijiong laughed three times, and said to Aunt Su Ma: "Su Moer, you stay and watch them tonight, not only these women in the king's tent, but also the women in other tents will sing and dance. Don't stop until dawn, keep singing and dancing, if anyone stops, Gu will kill their children."

"Yes." Aunt Su Ma showed absolute obedience to Zhu Cijiong, and immediately retreated to the gate of the king's account.

Zhu Cijiong took Wang Fuzhi, Xia Wanchun and other scholars, as well as Lin Qingye and other generals, out of the king's tent.

Outside the tent, the night was dark, and a round of bright moon hung high in the night sky, illuminating the river valley hazy, like a thin layer of frost on the grass.

……

In another river valley more than a dozen miles away, Esen looked at the full moon in the night sky with disgust, because this full moon illuminated the entire grassland like daytime, making it impossible for Horqin's cavalry to sneak in the dark.

At this time, Esen had already summoned all the strong men of Horqin Mongolia.

The ten banners of Horqin Mongolia have a population of about 3, and the number of strong men is more than [-].

Ersen summoned all the strong men of Horqin, ready to fight the Ming army.

Originally, Esen didn't have the guts, because there were nearly 3 Ming and Korean troops entrenched in the wintering camp, which was about the same number as their Horqin cavalry.

But the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is extremely wide.

Esen has a very clear understanding of this point.

However, Ye Bushou's discovery made Ersen change his mind.

Because no reports were accepted at night, since the end of the new year, the Ming army entrenched in the wintering camp began to indulge in singing, dancing and lewdness, and even the night watch posts sent to the periphery began to steal and play tricks.

Ersen even took Yebushou to reconnaissance himself.

It was discovered that the Ming army really only cared about singing and dancing, and their vigilance was extremely low.

Ersen went back and called Taijibeile from the rest of the banners together, and decided to call all the strong men in the clan to launch a night attack, because the lethality of the Ming army's firearms would decrease sharply at night.

And their machetes, bows and arrows of the Mongols are almost unaffected.

But this damn bright moon has greatly hindered the Horqin cavalry's night attack.

After waiting for a full two hours, at the end of the second half of the night, the nasty moon finally fell below the western horizon, and the grassland instantly darkened.

"Go!" Er Sen waved his hand violently.

The more than [-] riders behind them got on their horses one after another.

More than [-] riders quietly approached the wintering camp of Zuoqian Banner under the cover of night.

Esen personally led the three hundred attendants of the banner to act as outposts, responsible for cutting off the night watch posts of the Ming army.

Blessed by the God of Longevity, the Ming army's night watch posts lit a bonfire to keep warm because they couldn't stand the severe cold, which made it easy for them to approach.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

After the sound of piercing the air, the sentries of the Ming army sitting around the bonfire were shot into hedgehogs in an instant, and it was even more wishful thinking to blow the horn before they even uttered a scream.

However, Waiter Sen brought his attendants closer to take a look, but smiled.

There are no sentries of the Ming army, but they are just a few dummies wearing Ming army cotton coats.

"Look, my lord, the dummy, the slave didn't lie to you." A servant said contemptuously, "However, there are sometimes Ming army ambush troops on the mountain ridges on both sides of the valley."

"Fu Lujun?" Er Sen frowned slightly.

If there were Ming army's ambush troops hidden on the mountain ridges on both sides of the valley, it would be difficult not to disturb them by the neighing of horses and the sound of hooves when they marched in the valley.

Even putting a muzzle on the horse may not work.

Because more than 3 cavalry swept across the valley, the movement will never be small.

After pondering for a moment, Ersen said: "The king's order is issued, all dismount, leaving 1000 people here to guard the horses, and the others will march on foot. Anyway, it is not far from here to the wintering camp."

The order was conveyed quickly, and the Mongolian cavalry dismounted one after another, took out a wooden stick and bit their mouths, and walked forward in the dark.

The dark night provided excellent cover for the Horqin cavalry. Half an hour later, Esen brought more than 3 Horqin cavalry to the vicinity of the wintering camp.

Looking from a distance, I saw bright fires radiating from many tents in the camp.

The king's tent located in the most conspicuous position is even more brightly lit, and a graceful figure is projected on the tent by the firelight, as if there are dancers performing dances in the big tent.

There is also a faint singing sound coming with the wind.

Seeing this scene, Esen was suddenly furious.

These Ming soldiers were really too much. They occupied their wintering camps, robbed their cattle, sheep and horses, and even took their women for lust. It was really too arrogant.

Not only Esen, but also the flagmen of the Zuoqian Banner were furious.

Today, these Ming dogs must pay the blood price for their brutality.

The dignity of Horqin cannot be desecrated, and the dignity of the Jin Family cannot be desecrated!

In the darkness, more than 3 Mongolian cavalrymen from the Horqin Department touched the low wall of the wintering camp. There were torches inserted at intervals on the wall, but most of them had been extinguished because they were burning in the middle of the night.

The Ming army did not send anyone to watch the night. These idiots are so careless.

Ersen turned his head and waved violently, and the Horqin cavalry who followed behind him climbed over the low wall one after another.

After climbing over the low wall, the more than 3 Mongolian cavalry of Horqin's tribe immediately dispersed and rushed to the thousands of yurts gathered in the wintering camp. Esen also rushed to the king's tent with hundreds of attendants.

"If you meet a dog, kill it, and leave no one alive!" Er Sen ordered in a low voice.

The accompanying hundreds of attendants agreed in a low voice, and soon came outside the king's tent.

Ersen nodded slightly, and the two attendants immediately rushed forward and opened the curtain violently.

The bright light came with the warm wind, and Er Sen could see the whole situation in Wang's tent at a glance. He saw more than a dozen of his concubines singing and dancing, and there was a strange young woman standing near the door of the tent. There was no one else, and there was none of the generals of the Ming army who he expected to be drinking and having sex.

How is this going?Esen was stunned on the spot.

Shouldn't those Ming dogs be in the king's tent?

Shouldn't those smart dogs lie on women?
