Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 81 No Contrast No Harm

All the Baylor ministers knew that Mang Gurtai had a hot temper and was even more moody than Amin, but they didn't expect that he would draw his sword and ride his horse straight towards Huang Taiji in anger.

For a moment, the men and horses of Zhenglan Banner and Zhengbai Banner also drew their swords and guns and butted each other.

"Mang Gurtai!"

Fortunately, when Mang Gurtai was about to chop down a Zhengbai Banner guard who came to stop him, his sister Mang Guji rode in front of him on horseback and slapped him in the face.

Veins popped out on Mang Gurtai's neck, but when he saw that the person blocking him was actually his sister, he froze on the spot for a moment.

"elder sister.?"

"You, don't you know how many of my troops were killed by those Ming troops when I took the lead at Yongdingmen?"

"They have followed me through life and death, but this Huang Taiji said in one sentence that they are as fearful of enemies as tigers. I must kill him today!"

This change was actually in line with Huang Taiji's wishes.

But he didn't want to provoke a conflagration between the two banners, which would be a loss to Dai Jin. What Huang Taiji wanted was an integrated Dai Jin, not the scarred Later Jin Kingdom after the conflagration.

He himself has been in the military for a long time and is not a weak scholar, so he is not afraid of Mang Gurtai's threat. He just puts his hand slightly on his waist and orders the white flag not to be raised first, while he is ready to draw it out to defend himself at any time.

Mang Guji naturally knew that Huang Taiji was as colorful as the Han people, but she also knew that the overall situation was the most important thing. The people of the two banners were in conflict, and the people of the Ming Dynasty in Guan were the proud ones.

She looked at Mang Gurtai, her biological brother for whom she had always been worried, and said earnestly: "Have you forgotten what my father made when he passed away? When he died, he was afraid that our Dajin people would kill each other. .”

"If you are stubborn again, be careful that I don't recognize you as my brother!"

When Mang Gurtai heard this, he suddenly lost his backbone. He quickly retracted his sword and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, why don't I stop killing him? I only have one sister like you!"

Only then did Mang Guji turn around and lead Mang Gurtai to bow slightly to Huang Taiji.

"Great Khan, this younger brother of mine doesn't know etiquette. I offended the Great Khan. Please forgive me."

Huang Taiji looked at Mang Guji slightly. This woman, who was not as old as him, felt deeply threatened by what she had just said to persuade Mang Gurtai, but her face was kind and pleasant. Half a point.

"No matter what Princess Hada said, Sibeile has been doing nothing for a long time, so I am eager to make contributions in this battle. I understand."

"It's just that Mang Gurtai exposed his sword in front of the emperor. There is no escape from this crime. This Khan is in charge of Dajin and must not show favoritism!"

Mang Guji's eyes darkened, and he forced Mang Gurtai to salute and said, "We will obey the order of the Great Khan."

Huang Taiji smiled slightly and pulled Mang Guji up, but ignored Mang Gurtai. Looking at Mang Gurtai kneeling in front of him, he sneered and said: "Mang Gurtai exposed his sword in front of the emperor. He should have been punished. But if Princess Hada intercedes, she can avoid death."

"Immediately, the Zhenglan Banner's troops will be reduced by 88, and [-] of its farms will be included in the Zhengbai Banner!"

Huang Taiji looked at Mang Gurtai and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

After hearing this, Mang Gurtai stood up directly.

He could bear the cynicism in his words just now, but he couldn't bear the separation of Bingding Farm.

"yellow--!"

"you--!"

He pointed at Huang Taiji's nose and was about to get angry, but when he saw Mang Guji's eyes, he swallowed his breath, stared at Huang Taiji with a murderous gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Nothing to say, it's up to you. !”

Huang Taiji smiled coldly, waved his hands and said: "Continue marching and return home as quickly as possible!"

By February of the third year of Chongzhen, all the Jin troops had withdrawn from Jifu.

Various places were recovered one after another, and good news reached the capital.

On February [-]th, there was a great dynasty in the capital.

The city of Beijing, which has not yet received the exact news, is still in turmoil.

Early in the morning today, the Jinluan Palace was crowded with ministers, all of them were filled with indignation and spitting. It seemed that as long as there was more verbal and written criticism, those Dongnu who left with their people and their luggage would suddenly die when they returned home. on the way.

At the beginning of the morning court, Chongzhen first asked the Minister of War. "Da Sima, what's the situation in Jifu now? Have soldiers and horses from all over the place arrived?"

"Your Majesty, I have recently selected more than [-] civilian warriors to garrison at the Nine Gates. There should be no problem in the defense of the capital." Wang Qia stood out of the queue and said in a low voice.

"I ask the east, you answer me the west?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little angry, and asked again, "I ask you again, what is the situation in Jifu now? Has our army recovered the lost ground?"

"The Beijing camp has been out of the city for many days, but no battle report has been sent back. Is the entire army wiped out?"

The Minister of War was the military commander of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Logically speaking, the person in this position should be very capable.

But today's Minister of War, Wang Qia, is like a severe Alzheimer's patient. He can't even understand what Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, the defense of the capital is getting stronger day by day. I will lead my officials to patrol the city for days. Don't worry."

Chongzhen asked several questions one after another, but except for Wang Qia, the officials were silent and no one reported the battle situation in Jifu.

A strange thing happened. Chongzhen knew that Jiannu was making trouble in his hometown of Jifu, so he sent countless soldiers and horses to call on the kings of the world, but he just didn't know the situation of the battle.

No matter how you ask, the officials always ask questions and answer questions.

Emperor Chongzhen could not help but get angry: "Why, you are all fools! Show all the energy you shouted outside the palace just now! When I ask about the battle report, you will all pretend to be stupid with me, right? That's good!"

"Come on!"

Two golden melon warriors immediately went to the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen pointed to Wang Qia, Minister of War, and said: "I called you on the platform a few days ago to ask about the situation of the battle. You excused yourself and said that the troops in various places have not gathered and they cannot fight the enemy. It is the stragglers from Dongnu who are fighting. Are all the troops and horses gathered?"

"As the Minister of the Ministry of War, you don't know everything about the war situation, and you shirk your duties. What's the use of keeping you?"

"I will drag you to the Chengtian Gate outside the palace, give you thirty punishments, and strip off your official uniform. I will remove you from your position as Minister of War. You are not worthy of being called a Grand Sima!"

After saying this, Wang Qia fell to his knees slumped on the ground as if he had expected it.

Seeing his desolate look, Emperor Chongzhen stepped down from the throne, helped him up, pretended to be friendly, and asked again: "I ask you one last time, how is the war situation with Jifu now?"

Wang Qia raised his head and met Chongzhen's eyes.

Chongzhen clearly saw extreme fear in his eyes, and even his voice trembled, but the last words he said were still the same.

"I recently led all the officials in my department to inspect the city. The people in the city are at peace and the world is at peace."

"Go!" The hope in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes once again turned into complete disappointment. He turned around and walked away, returned to sit in front of the dragon chair, and said angrily: "Pull out, pull out!"

After Wang Qia was taken away, the palace became eerily silent.

Sitting in the emperor's seat, Chongzhen looked at the humerus ministers with different minds under the steps, feeling extremely sad in his heart.

At this time, a young eunuch ran out of the hall. Because he ran back too hastily, he fell down in front of the door. But he quickly got up and ran to the middle of the hall, holding up a copy in his hand. Tang newspaper.

"Your Majesty, great victory! Great victory!"

"Li Shunzu, the governor of the capital camp, led the officers and soldiers of the capital camp in a bloody battle with the slaves in Luanhe River. Thousands of lords and tens of thousands of slaves were driven back!"

"He Kegang of the Ningyuan Army led the Tuanshan Camp and recaptured Yongping City without any bloodshed!"

Chongzhen looked happy and stood up.

Before he could reply, another eunuch rushed up to the palace.

"Great victory! And great victory!"

"Sun Chengzong, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of Jiliao, led the Liao army such as Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou, Zu Dashou, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong forward, and fought a battle with the Dongnu in Changli. The Dongnu have since withdrawn from Jiiling, our land of Jifu!"

"The Dongnu armies in Zunhua and Qian'an are afraid of the majesty of our army and will retreat without fighting!"
