Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 903 Returning to Each Home (Two in One)

There are only two paths before Azig.

One is to beat He Jinzhao to death.

One is to accept it as soon as it is good, and just walk away.

Anyway, the purpose of entering the Daming capital this time is to loot, and the looting is almost done.

Ah Shan advised again, as long as we withdraw our troops, the Ming government army and the Daming rebels will definitely not be able to continue to collude with each other.

The two of them will only have conflicts. If He Jinzhao attacks the Forbidden City, we can still watch the excitement from a distance.

Azig couldn't swallow the bad breath in his heart.

He originally wanted to beat He Jinzhao while fishing, but unexpectedly, he would unite with the Ming army and start fighting against him.

He wasn't afraid of the Ming army, but he couldn't stand it and was finally used by He Jinchao.

After Piangu reconciled with Azig and the others, he stopped clamoring about fighting the hammer bandits.

In short, everyone is now grabbing a lot of money. If you go back, you will be rewarded for your meritorious service. If you lose the battle, go back.

Not only was this hard work wasted, but he was also punished. No one wanted to end up with this kind of result.

Even Ta Zhan, who yelled to avenge his father, became dumb. This revenge had to wait for the emperor to lead a team to avenge it.

Otherwise, just relying on the men under Azig's command, he might have his head chopped off by He Jinzhao.

In short, everyone doesn't want to make trouble out of the festival.

Azig thought for a long time alone, before reluctantly agreeing to withdraw the troops without entanglement with He Jinzhao.

The ones who were looted at the beginning were almost the same, but they were confiscated at the end, so it's no wonder he was there.

If you want to blame it, you can blame Daming for capturing Gao Yingxiang and attracting the Hammer Bandits. As far as He Jinzhao's current situation is concerned, he is really disgusting!
In addition, the soldiers under his command were all robbed and made a small fortune, and they only wanted to go back quickly, and most of their fighting spirit had already dissipated.

Not as full of fighting spirit as before the expedition, staying in the territory of Daming, that is, being jointly dealt with by the hammer bandits and the Ming army, thankless for the effort.

Previously, Lianglan and Lianghong didn't take advantage of the battle with the hammer bandits, but they were dealt with by Huang Taiji.

If he fought against the hammer bandits with his old background of two whites, what would he win if he won?
If you lose, you will be targeted by Huang Taiji instead.

Azig figured out the key point, but he couldn't help the persuasion from his subordinates. After being beaten up by He Jinzhao, they all became sober.

We are here to rob, not desperately.

The Qing army withdrew completely.

When He Jinchao received the news that the Qing army was withdrawing, Wei Wei couldn't believe it.

Why is Azig so obedient?
A very irritable person, just admit it and slip away?

Even the Qing army would rather take those bad roads than the road to the west?
This trip was really a bit of a loss, so I came directly to rescue Chongzhen.

He Jinzhao stood still and sighed:
"Staff Zhang, I'm afraid the bamboo basket will be empty for our army's trip this time."

Zhang Fuzhen really laughed out loud: "My lord, don't worry, our army has won a big victory.

The seeds of fear of our army have been planted in the hearts of the soldiers of the Qing army. Now they run away when they see us, and they will run away when they see our army in the future! "

As for the Han people who were said to be snatched from Azig earlier, it was black and white.

I'm afraid I don't have many chances!

"After all, Che Ying has some mobility problems." He Jinzhao took a few steps and looked at the map beside him and said:
"Then let's see if we can rescue Brother Gao."

Zhang Fuzhen cupped his hands slightly without saying a word, and said, "My lord, let's go too."

"Ok?"

"Since this trip is here to eat black food, you don't have to hang out in front of Chongzhen if you don't eat it. He is very stingy."

Zhang Fuzhen squeezed his beard and said: "Since the Qing army has taken a large number of people away, we can also relocate a large number of people back to Shanxi when we return.

Shanxi can't let go, and they can move to Shaanxi, where the population is very scarce. "

Seeing that He Jinzhao still wanted to speak, he immediately added:
"My lord, even if you want to give King Gao Chuang a ride, it's not necessary to watch him die outside the capital. There's no need. When people are angry, they will always do some irrational things."

Gao Yingxiang probably cannot be rescued.

He Jinzhao just wanted to bombard the inner city of the imperial palace, and the city defense of the capital was not something he could easily chew down.

On the contrary, it will cover the Qing army and help attract Chongzhen's hatred.

If one of the three parties withdraws or joins, a balance must be found among them, and one should not be complacent.

He Jinzhao thought for a long time before he nodded and agreed to withdraw the troops. Then he scattered the troops, and also plundered people from the surrounding area, and moved away directly.

In order to avoid the next time the Qing army attacked, they would continue to plunder and take advantage of the Jurchens. It would be better to make themselves cheaper. Anyway, Chongzhen couldn't keep his family business.

Zu Dale followed Wu Guojun to support the hammer bandits, feeling a little nervous.

At least he agrees with the combat effectiveness of Wu Guojun's servants, not to mention the heads of the Qing soldiers outside Changping City who have formed a Beijing temple, which is extremely shocking.

Didn't you see that Azig even voluntarily withdrew his troops and stopped fighting the hammer bandits?
Those Qing soldiers would rather go the long way and the bad way than go this way and contact the hammer bandits.

If it wasn't for Zu Dashou's order, he wouldn't be willing to get close to the hammer bandits.

The leader of the Ming army held a binoculars and looked at Changping City from a distance.

As for the people who were captured here by the hammer bandits, they didn't see them at all.

"The Qing army has run away, shall we go back?"

Zu Dale asked in a low voice, after all, in his opinion, this place is really dangerous.

He Jinzhao's level of ferocity is by no means something he can resist.

A brave man like Cao Wenzhao fell into the hands of He Jinzhao several times. Although he was dead, Zu Dale was a little afraid that He Jinzhao would go straight to the capital because of Gao Yingxiang.

In this way, they changed from cooperative partners to fighting each other.

According to the emperor's concept, these Qin Wangshi were designated not to enter the city for defense, but to fight against the hammer bandits in the wild.

Then who has beaten it?

Li Chongzhen and others all said that we should stay far away. Once the Qing army left, the relationship between them and the hammer bandits would become hostile.

Wu Guojun wasn't worried about this at all, he was just thinking about how he would cooperate once He Jinzhao wanted to attack the capital!

If there is a chance to open the door for him and directly take the position in the palace, that is not impossible, the most important thing is to sell it for a good price.

Not long after, Wang Peng rushed back and whispered in Wu Guojun's ear.

Everyone is waiting for the final result.

"Just now, after some investigations, the Hammer bandits are about to withdraw their troops, and I will be able to take advantage of the situation to recover Changping City."

Wu Guojun didn't hide it, and said it directly, saving everyone from getting nervous.

"He's leaving?"

"He Jinzhao is really leaving?"

Zu Dale and others breathed a sigh of relief before continuing to confirm the final news.

"The news we've got so far is that, we need to be more careful, lest He Jinzhao doesn't mean what he says and is trying to deceive us."

Wu Guojun explained everything to him, but Zu Dale believed it was true.

Although He Jinzhao said he was here to rescue Gao Yingxiang, but Gao Yingxiang had already gone to Beijing, so he led the troops here.

Is it possible to take this group of people to storm the Forbidden City?
He didn't even think about it, and it would be impossible to say what the internal and external pincers would be.

But several leaders of the Guan Ning Army could also see that the relationship between Uncle Jingliao Wu Guojun and the hammer bandit He Jinzhao was very close.

Wu Guojun also breathed a sigh of relief, the task of the Qing army retreating him was considered complete.

As for the captive people, whether they can be rescued or not is none of his business.

The bustling Gyeonggi began to become lonely.

At the end of August, He Jinzhao returned west quickly with the people who had been taken captive.

On September [-], after Azig inquired about the news, he found that there was no excitement to watch.

He Jinzhao would not attack the capital to cover them and withdraw their troops, so he led the whole army to Lengkou and returned east.

At this time, Zhang Fengyi, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, also received the news that He Jinzhao was expelled by Wu Guojun, so he refused to let him stand alone.

Zhang Fengyi, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and Liang Tingdong, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, followed the Qing army, not daring to fight or obstruct.

Zhang Fengyi stationed troops and moved to An'an, obeyed the strategy presented by his advisers, and defended himself.

Azig came out calmly with a large number of people and livestock he had plundered. They were all dressed in fine clothes and played triumphantly.

He also cut off the lettering on the pines and cypresses on the plug, and told the officers and soldiers of Daming not to send it away.

Throw it on the road to mock the big and small officials of the Ming court.

A large number of troops from the Qing army were loaded with loot, and they walked for four days before they were cleared.

Gao Qiqian reckoned that the Qing army was gone, so he sent soldiers to chase after him, and then reported victory to Chongzhen.

"The army cut the enemy three levels."

After Chongzhen got the news, he cursed angrily.

Just kill three enemies in pursuit?
These three heads are still a little doubtful, whether they are really Tartar heads.

Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong had heavy responsibilities, and feared the enemy like a tiger, so they did not dare to fight, causing the vicinity of Gyeonggi to be destroyed.

After the Qing army finished looting, the hammer bandits also came to loot.

Then the two sides rushed to escape, there were so many Qin Wangshi, none of them dared to fight with them.

What's the point?

The most important thing is that these two leaders lost face to Daming.

Therefore, Zhang and Liang were repeatedly impeached by the officials, and they knew that they could not escape the knife.

On the second day after receiving the news, Zhang Fengyi increased the dosage and committed suicide by taking poison.

Ten days later, Liang Tingdong finally ate rhubarb to death!

But Chongzhen still didn't intend to let them go, the matter was not done, and he wanted to die, and he wanted me to give you a name after his death?
Beautiful!
The imperial court convicted them, dismissed Zhang Fengyi, and executed Liang Tingdong!

Because they died first, they were exempted from the punishment of dismissal from office and sword and axe, neither the posthumous name nor the treatment they deserved.

This time, Azig raided the capital, and the troops raided the capital, and even destroyed the Ming emperor's mausoleum, and the Ming army still stood still.

Even if there is a chance to defeat the Qing army, such as Wu Guojun's treatment, they still dare not fight.

Even if Zu Dashou leads the team, there is nothing he can do.

It can be seen from this that the Ming Dynasty was completely on the defensive in this season of the war against the Qing Dynasty, and gradually lost its advantages in terms of military strength and financial resources.

Not to mention that the army's command system is also in chaos.

At this point, both Chongzhen and his advisers are thinking about how to shirk responsibility and keep their black hats.

Especially some smart people saw that the Qing army only wanted to plunder, so they let them plunder.

In short, it's easy to talk about not attacking the city of Beijing and taking the throne of the emperor bird.

Even further, what the Qing army plundered was not my property, so why worry?

Chongzhen used eunuchs as his confidantes and exercised the encyclopedia of supervising the army.

Not only does it make it difficult for civil and military generals to display their talents, but they also don't want to fight under their hands.

Eunuchs are better at grabbing credit than civil servants. They want to snatch the credit in their hands to make the emperor happy. As for the money, they only collect it for their filial piety, and never spread it outside.

Who is willing to serve them?
At this time, they still haven't seen clearly what version the Ming army needs?
I simply think that the imperial power is supreme, as long as the emperor is happy, I don't care what the rest of the people are happy or not?
Governor Guan Ning and eunuch Gao Qiqian, when the Qing army was leaving, was asked by the guard Lengkou to lead his troops to guard the pass to block the return of the Qing army.

But he ordered the Qing army to go out halfway through the customs before attacking. In fact, what he thought in his heart was to let the Qing army go away.

He didn't lead his troops to reinforce Lengkou until all the Qing troops left the pass, causing the guards to retreat after fighting halfway, completely abandoning the guards here.

As far as the record of beheading at the third level was filled in by the eunuch's meritorious service, Qiu Weizhen, the minister of the Ministry of war, gave it to the eunuch.

As a result, he was impeached by the censor, saying that he had ulterior motives for the eunuch's meritorious service, and asked for the dismissal of the ministers and supervisors. Chongzhen, who was headstrong and arbitrary, was furious.

Eunuchs can't make meritorious service, can they?

You just want to let Zhen give up his eyes and ears again, and then let you play tricks, and by the way, send Jin Yushi to prison, and go to accompany Gao Yingxiang.

It just so happened that there was thunder roaring outside, and a bolt of lightning skipped in front of the throne, which frightened Chongzhen into thinking that the heavens had given him a warning not to make a decision against his ancestors.

Release Jin Yushi in court, so as not to be punished by heaven.

Whether it is the Qing army or the hammer bandits, they can freely travel back and forth in the capital, and the more people in the world look at Daming, the more they will lose the hearts of the people.

Even the lives and properties of the people near Gyeonggi cannot be effectively guaranteed, let alone other places where the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was arrogant but his ministers were flattered, his soldiers were weak and his people poor, and he was about to perish.

Compared with the weak battle situation on the East Road, the tens of thousands of officials of the Ming Dynasty watched the Qing army leave, while Uncle Jingliao and Wu Guojun fought consecutively.

His memorial to Chongzhen was to regain lost ground every day and force the hammer bandits to retreat.

In fact, it was to help He Jinzhao escort the population.

Even if some civilians tried to escape back to the officer's place, he took good care of them, and then sent someone back the next day.

With such a mentality, let these people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns give up their hearts after all.

At the feet of the emperor, officials and bandits colluded.

They are still alive, they are already very lucky, who would dare to escape?

Zu Dale got a letter from Zu Dashou, saying that the war in the east is over, don't make any more troubles, and after defeating the hammer bandits, he quickly retreated to his hometown in Liaodong.

Huang Taiji dispatched Dorgon and others to attack Jinzhou, which was empty of troops. If the Qing army was determined to attack, it would be difficult to defend.

After Zu Dale received the news, he hurriedly consulted with Wu Guojun, Shanhaiguan and other places were in danger.

If we chase the hammer bandits again, the brothers will have to go to Shanxi to fight. There is no guarantee when we can go home. If Jinzhou is lost, the capital will not be guaranteed, and we should retreat.

Wu Guojun didn't refuse, he just wanted to see He Jinzhao again and hear if he had any other ideas.
