Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 94
When the four prime ministers were discussing matters, Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Liu Shizhen, the envoy in charge, rushed in. Both of them looked excited.

Shi Kefa is a good old man, he will not express his unhappiness.

But Gao Hongtu couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, so he immediately exploded: "Da Sima, and Yang Tongzheng, didn't you see that we are discussing with the chief assistant? You just barge in."

Jiang Yueguang also acted smugly: "It's out of order."

"Yes, I'm reckless, and I ask you all the bosses to have a lot."

Lu Daqi and Liu Shizhen confessed their mistakes, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts, and immediately said: "But the reason why the officials trespassed on the cabinet is because there is a big happy event."

"One day a big happy event? What's the matter?"

Shi Kefa's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and he had a vague guess in his heart, but he felt it was impossible.

Gao Hongtu even reprimanded directly: "The state affairs are so difficult, but there are a lot of bad things. How can there be any happy events?"

Jiang Yueguang was about to stand up and chase away people, but at this moment, the general governor Liu Shizhen took out a scroll of yellow silk with both hands and solemnly handed it over to Shi Kefa.

Lu Daqi resisted and did not speak out.

Saying it out won't have that effect.

It would be interesting to let the four elders see the good news for themselves.

They wanted to see how the four elders would react when they saw this great news.Are you dancing with joy and getting carried away like them?
Shi Kefa took the scroll of Huang Ling and slowly unfolded it.

He glanced at it first, then let out a light snort.

Then Shi Kefa froze on the spot.

Seeing this, the second assistant Gao Hongtu subconsciously stepped forward and glanced at it.

"Ah?" Immediately Gao Hongtu yelled and froze on the spot, as if he had been immobilized.

Jiang Yueguang thought what happened to these two?At that moment, he also took two steps to get closer to watch, but after seeing it, he froze in place with a bang, and there was no movement for a long time.

Xie Xuelong couldn't hold back anymore, and walked to the other side to have a look.

"Hey, I won!" Xie Xuelong clapped his hands after watching, but passed out without a mouthful of phlegm.

Lu Daqi and Liu Shizhen originally just wanted to see the reactions of the four elders, but when they saw that Xie Xuelong fainted because of being too excited, they were shocked for a moment.

"Come here, Mr. Xie Ge is guilty of a hypocrisy."

The two cabinet clerks and Xie Xuelong's old servant heard the news and entered.

He helped Xie Xuelong up first, stretched his chest and patted his back, and delivered tea. After working hard for a long time, Xie Xuelong finally came to his senses, stood up and faced Shi Kefa and the other four, and couldn't help but burst into tears again.

"We won!" Xie Xuelong said, wiping away tears.

"Well, I won." Jiang Yueguang also burst into tears.

"It's been fifty years, and Daming finally won Jiannu once!" Gao Hongtu couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

Ever since Daming had something to do, although there were occasional reports of victories, such as the victory in Ningyuan, which also had a record of beheading more than [-] levels, this obviously cannot be compared with the victory in Xiazhen this time.

In this great victory in Xia Town, the number of decapitated real slaves exceeded [-] heads!
In addition, he beheaded more than [-] ranks of the Eight Banners Han army, rebels, and Han people, and captured more than a thousand Han soldiers, soldiers, and coats.

Shi Kefa and the others have never doubted whether the results of this battle will be faked?

Although Chongzhen was self-willed and mean and unkind, he never lied.

What's more, the Tang newspaper also has the signature of Du Yinjia, the censor of Youqian capital and the censor of Xuzhou Tuntian.

Regarding Du Yinjia's character, Shi Kefa and the others are absolutely trustworthy. This is by no means a lucky minister who is willing to give up integrity for the sake of flattery, so this result is absolutely credible.

"Quick!" Shi Kefa wiped away his tears and said eagerly.

"The Ministry of War immediately sent someone to copy the Tang newspaper and announce it to the world!"

"Yes." Lu Daqi cupped his hands and bowed, turned and left in a hurry.

Soon, the news of Xia Town's victory spread like a whirlwind inside and outside Nanjing.

Zheng Sen returned to Guozijian from his teacher Qian Qianyi. When he passed Jixian Gate, he found that the notice board on the right was crowded with people, and the outer three floors and the inner three floors were full of people.

what's going on?Haven't you already passed the monthly exam?

Could it be that another classmate has written a good article?

But it’s not right, good articles aren’t read by so many people, right?
Just when Zheng Sen was at a loss, another group of scholars came upon hearing the news.

One of Zheng Sen's bedmates immediately stopped him and asked, "Brother Tongren, what happened?"

"Brother Damu, don't you know?" The classmate was surprised. "There is a big event. The Holy Lord personally led the frontier troops of ten towns to defeat the southern invasion army of Jiannu in the first battle in Xuzhou, beheading nine thousand people! More than a thousand people were captured!"

"Ah?" Zheng Sen instantly felt a rush of blood rushing to his brain.

"But this matter is too unbelievable, so you have to see the Tang newspaper with your own eyes." After the classmate finished speaking, he used brute force to separate the classmates who were blocking in front of him and squeeze in, and there was a mess in front of the notice board.

"Hey, don't squeeze, who are you, just squeeze when you come up."

……

At the same time, in Prince Rui's Mansion in Beijing.

Bai Yintu could not afford to kneel in front of Duo ErGun.

"Baiyintu, you can really do it." Dorgon said quietly, "You can really do it."

Bai Yintu didn't explain much, just knelt in front of Dorgon with his forehead grabbing the ground.

Dorgon counted with his fingers: "That is to say, during your trip to Shandong, you lost a total of ten cattle records from the Xianghuang Banner, including one Jialazhangjing, and ten cattle records from the Han army in the Zhenghuang Banner." , including Gushan Ezhenzu Zerun, Meilezhangjing Geng Jimao, Gaodi’s [-] soldiers and [-] coats, and Wang Aoyong.”

"Also lost more than 100 tank ships of the Navy, 120 vehicles of the Xianghuang Banner, 120 vans of the Han Army of the Zhenghuang Banner, and 30 vehicle-mounted No. [-] Frang machine guns."

"There are also [-] shi of military rations and [-] catties of gunpowder."

"And the property you robbed along the way."

"These properties are conservatively estimated to be 50 taels, right?"

"Bai Yintu, tell yourself, what should I do with you?"

After Dorgon finished speaking, he bent down and stared at Baiyintu like a falcon.

But Baiyintu didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. He really didn't have the face to defend himself when the battle was like this. In short, no matter how Dorgon dealt with him, he didn't complain.

"Take him down and lock him up." Dorgon didn't kill him in the end.

After all, Baiyintu is Gushan Ezhen with a yellow flag. Even if he really wants to declare the canonical punishment, he must ask Da Yuer's consent, and Da Yuer must give him face.

Two guards took Bai Yintu away.

Dorgon shouted to the outside again: "Take Oboi."

"Slave Oboi, please refer to the master." Aoboi shook his sleeves a thousand times.

When he broke through that day, Oboi just fainted from exhaustion, but he was not injured.

Later, he was hunted down by Yi Ding all the way, if it weren't for the guards of Aobai and Yabran, Bai Yintu probably wouldn't have come back.

"Forget it." Dorgon raised his hand, stared into Aobai's eyes and said, "Oboi, how did you lose this battle, tell me the truth."

"Hey." Obai didn't hide anything, from the moment they entered Shandong, to the splitting of the troops, to his defeat at Anshan Town, to Bai Yintu's troops going south to avenge him, and to entering the border of Xuzhou , and then to the Battle of Xiazhen, Obai talked for nearly an hour before finally finishing his speech, and also focused on explaining the defense line of the Ming army in Xiazhen.

"Regent, the Ming army's formation in Xia Zhenxiu is really very powerful."

"The servant suspects that it may be the Eight Formation Diagram that has been lost for thousands of years."

"Eight diagrams? I think your head looks like an eight diagrams!" Dorgon said angrily, "Go away."

Although Aobai also suffered a defeat, but he was not the leader of the road after all, and he did not run away, so even if he was held accountable, he would not be held accountable.

After sending Oboi away, Dorgon asked Hong Chengchou and other three hardcore traitors: "What do you think?"

Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan immediately turned their attention to Hong Chengchou. When it comes to making suggestions, they can talk about it, but when it comes to marching and fighting, the two of them are not as good as Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou said: "After listening to what Oboi said just now, I feel that Bai Yintu was defeated because he underestimated the enemy. Sun Tzu's art of war said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. The number of troops, even the main general of the Ming army did not know who it was. When the final attack was made, Baiyintu only left a small amount of mobile troops, which gave the Ming army an opportunity to commit two consecutive crimes. It is a big taboo for military strategists, and this is the reason for this big defeat."

"It's reasonable." Dorgon nodded happily, "What Mr. said coincides with what I have said."

"I see." Fan Wencheng nodded suddenly, "In this case, everything makes sense."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Ning Wan said to me, "If it weren't for that, how could the Ming army, which was cowardly and fearful of my Qing soldiers as tigers, defeat Baiyintu's [-] troops."

The two hardcore traitors couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I almost thought that the Ming army was really not what it used to be.

Dorgon said again: "That is to say, it was just an accident."

"Yes, it was just an accident, but the gun platform built by the Ming army in Xiazhen should not be underestimated."

Hong Chengchou changed the subject and said again: "The chief general of the Ming army who built the Xiazhen defense line is well aware of the weaknesses of the Ming army. He divided the defense line that was originally a whole into individual gun platforms, which provided the Ming army with maximum protection. , so that the Ming army will not collapse across the board just because of a breakthrough, which greatly strengthens the confidence, morale and defensive resilience of the Ming army, Regent, this is really a wonderful idea, very powerful!"

"Oh, really? Is it really as mysterious as you said?"

Dorgon, however, was skeptical, thinking that there were only a few hundred Western blunderbuss platforms, and they were still made of rammed earth. Wouldn't the Red Barbarian cannons of the Eight Banners Han Army be transferred up and bombed for a few shots and they would collapse?
However, Dorgon did not say this.

Fan Wencheng asked again: "Prince Regent, is Zuo Maotai still going to Nanjing?"

"Of course I have to go." Dorgon said without thinking, "I have to go."
