……

Chongzhen 14th October [-]th.

Wang Doujing's frontier army and others had already passed through Shanhaiguan Pass, Funing, and arrived at Yongping Mansion. After the detailed news was sent out, the reinforcements in various towns in Liaodong soon received orders from their teachers, so at the beginning of October, all towns returned collectively.

Because of the great victory in this battle, Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, Wu Sangui, general of Ningyuan, Liu Zhaoji, general of Liaodong, and others will all go to the capital to accept the award and participate in the victory celebration banquet. OK.

In the Battle of Jinzhou, the Ming Dynasty killed Zu Dashou, Ma Ke, Bai Guangen, Li Fuming, Zuo Guangxian, five general soldiers, and tens of thousands of soldiers. After the news spread, the government and the public were shocked. The commendation for them is also in full swing, not to mention that temples will be built for sacrifices, and their coffins will also go to Beijing to accept the condolences of the monarchs and ministers and cry bitterly.

Since it was the class teacher's return to the court, and he had to carry the coffin into Beijing, the army walked very slowly. Just after arriving at Yongping Mansion, Wang Dou got a piece of information that Huang Taiji had died.

He died on the way back from the army. The cause of death is unknown. After returning to Shengjing, Dorgon proclaimed himself emperor immediately.

It seems that when Huang Taiji died, the retreating Eight Banners started some chaotic fights, and it was like this all the way back to Shengjing. There may be some conspiracy involved, but the most powerful Erbai Banner still controlled the overall situation, and another series of disputes and compromises After that, Dorgon proclaimed himself emperor like lightning.

There is also news that after Dorgon became emperor, he immediately divided up the wives and concubines of Huang Taiji and Haoge with Duoduo. Among them, Dorgon won Bumbutai, and Duoduo won Zhezhe. Over forty years old, after Dodo won, he was still ecstatic.

According to Wang Dou's analysis, it is possible that Duoduo lost his mother when he was young, and he had Oedipus plot. The allure of this young man is still great.

Dorgon generously bestowed the former queen to Duo Duo. In addition to Duo Duo's request, he may also have the intention to win over his younger brother.

Dorgon used to covet big Yuer Bumbutai, but now he got it, his wish was fulfilled, and he became Fulin's cheap father. Fortunately, Xiao Yuer Hai Lanzhu had just died, otherwise he would have been killed by many. Dorgon took it.

Although Dorgon proclaimed himself emperor, but the people from the Erhuang Banner, Jierhalang, Daishan, etc., who are idle people? Not long after the defeat of the Qing army, the Mongols and Koreans have mixed thoughts. It seems that the Qing Dynasty is still in turmoil The time, this point, is beneficial to Daming.

Holding this information, Wang Dou had complicated thoughts. After Huang Taiji came to the throne, Manchuria became a formal country from a tribe, and got rid of the encirclement of Ming, North Korea, and Mongolia on three sides.

He developed production, integrated national strength, continued to fight against the Ming Dynasty, invaded the bandits several times, expanded the strength of the Qing Dynasty, and laid a solid foundation. After that, what will happen to the Qing Dynasty in the future, and what will happen to the Ming Dynasty?

At this time, everyone was on the edge of the Luan River, and the next step was to go to Fengrun. The cold wind would blow up the river water from time to time, with waves surging, some fine snowflakes fell down, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

Seeing that Wang Dou was stunned and silent, the people around him were all strange. At this time, Wang Dehua had returned to the capital ahead of time, and the people beside Wang Dou were Hong Chengchou, Wang Chengen, Zhang Ruoqi, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Wu Sangui and others.

Hong Chengchou still coughed a few times from time to time, and sometimes even coughed up blood. Due to the untimely treatment, it seemed that the hidden illness after the war would accompany him for life.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Dou smiled slightly, and handed the message to Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou took it and watched it in doubt. After watching it, no matter how deep his qi cultivation skills were, he couldn't help laughing, his beard and hair flew away, and he coughed while laughing : "Mrs. Hong, Mrs. Hong, I never thought you would have today!"

Zhang Ruoqi also took it in doubt, and after seeing it, he also laughed loudly: "The slave chieftain collapsed, Dorgon became emperor, and the reign name was Shunzhi?"

He pointed his finger straight at a certain part of the message in the snowflakes, and almost poked a hole in that place: "The misfortune caused Xiao Qiang, and he died under his own knife. There should be this reward. This is the law of heaven. The retribution is not good. The slave chief died well!"

Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Fu Yingchong, Wu Sangui and others were both surprised and happy when they heard about it, and they couldn't help crying and laughing when they read the information to each other.

Yang Guozhu fell to the ground and cried loudly: "God has eyes, and the slave chief is dead. Li Shuai and Zuo Shuai, you two are the spirits in the sky, and you can be comforted."

Wu Sangui was dressed in filial piety, with a white scarf on his head. After reading the report, he was also full of surprises, and then the tears poured out. He fell to his knees on the cold ground and cried loudly: "Uncle, uncle, did you hear that?" ? The slave chief is dead, the slave chief is dead, and your revenge is avenged!"

Zu Dale and Zu Dabi also knelt beside him, weeping.

As the news spread, many reinforcement camps also cried and laughed.

And the people of Yongping Mansion also set off firecrackers one after another, cheering loudly.

After the founding of the country, Huang Taiji invaded the bandits several times and brought serious disasters to the people in the northern kingdom. The soldiers and civilians all hated him. At this time, when he died, all the people clapped their hands and applauded, and the firecrackers exploded.

Wang Chengen also burst into tears, and murmured: "Your Majesty, the slave chief is dead, you can take a breather."

After Tang Tong was pleasantly surprised, he turned his eyebrows and eyes, secretly thinking that after the death of the slave chief, it seems that the frontier fortress will be peaceful for a while, and he will take advantage of this opportunity to train a new army as soon as possible.

In the Battle of Jinzhou, although he defended the battle with vigor, he was not aggressive enough and did not gain much military merit. Wang Pu, who he looked down on privately, performed better than him, which made Tang Tong secretly jealous.

Not only that, but he was also in trouble, because at the time of the battle under the city of Jinzhou, Ma Ke died in a heroic battle, and the surviving officers and generals of the Shanhai Navy all accused Tang Tongmiyun's army of refusing to save him, resulting in the death of the commander. Impeach.

The generals of the Miyun Army naturally retorted, and the two sides fought from verbal to physical, and finally scuffled into one.

At this time, not only Hong Chengchou, Wang Chengen and others were alarmed, even Wang Dou also participated in the investigation, he had made a serious statement beforehand, and anyone who dared not to save the friendly army would be severely punished.

Tang Tong argued that he was besieged by thieves and slaves at that time, and there was rescue, but it was too late.

The final investigation results showed that Tang Tong was indeed involved in the rescue, but in that case, with Tang Tong's old military strength, he was powerless to recover. He could not be called guilty if he was able to do this.

However, there is also a suspicious point, that is, when Ma Ke died in battle, the wound on his neck was rather strange, a bit like being shot from the camp beside him, but the remnants of the Shanhai Navy spoke in the same voice, saying that the barracks were broken by bandits and slaves at that time, and the enemy fought in a melee. In the end, the commander-in-chief was shot to death by the bandit slaves, and died in a fierce battle.

The matter was over, the generals of the Shanhai Navy, after mediation by Wang Dou and others, no longer entangled with Tang Tong's affairs, they were only enthusiastic about Marshal Ma's compensation and rewards, as well as their respective rewards.

Of course, Tang Tong didn't think that he had passed the test. Daming's officials were known for being full and supporting themselves, and he was afraid that they would catch his pigtails in the future.

"It would be nice to have a strong army!"

Tang Tong sighed deeply. The Battle of Jinzhou, the combat power of the Jingbian Army once again opened his eyes. Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen's new army also performed well, especially Wang Dou, with a strong army in hand, it was him Make contributions, unscrupulous capital.

In particular, there are rumors that the emperor will bestow rewards on the generals this time when the class teacher returns to the court. Not only a large number of people will be granted the title of uncle, but Yang Guozhu and Wang Dou may also be granted the title of marquis. , which is unprecedented in the history of Ming Dynasty.

However, he was not included in Feng Bo's list of rumors, which made Tang Tong frustrated and a little terrified. Because of Zu's birthday, all the generals in Guan Ning hated him, and Tang Tong felt that he had no reliance. Flattering Wang Dou, hoping to hug his thigh.

Fortunately, Uncle Zhongyong was kind to him, which made Tang Tong feel at ease.

However, the excitement of the Battle of Jinzhou and years of official experience told Tang Tong that it was useless to rely on others. The key was to have a strong army at hand, just like the Jingbian Army.

Just where is the money?

Instigated by Yang Sichang, Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen trained a new army with the court's rations. Wang Pu relied on the Datong family. , This made Tang Tong regret it, he really made a wrong choice back then.

The opportunity has already been missed, even if the imperial court wants to train the new army, it is powerless.

It is impossible to count on it from the court, and I have to think about the cost of raising troops.

At the same time, he is also thinking about the style of the new army in the future. The Miyun army is famous for its outstanding defense. The new army must also inherit this advantage. Only by being invincible can we talk about making achievements. However, we cannot just defend, we must defend the center Merit, well, that's it!
Like Tang Tong, Wang Pu at this time, after returning to the town, made great efforts to train the new army.

In the Battle of Daughter Hebei Middle Road, all the battalions in Datong Town were defeated, which made him realize that the old army is useless in the end, and he has to build a new army camp. This is the capital of his achievements, especially after the rumors of Uncle Feng came.

It's just that although his new army is gorgeous and noble, but because it is heavily funded by the tribe, it looks like a tribe soldier. To expand the new army, he still needs to persuade many tribesmen.

However, after the news of the big victory came back, there must have been very few voices of opposition, and at the same time Zhongyong Boduo had to be supported.

……

The death of the slave chieftain made the army returning to the court rejoice. Because the source of the news was Wang Dou, Hong Chengchou and others did not have the slightest doubt. Holy Dragon Yan Joy.

Sure enough, the death of Huang Taiji once again made the capital boil, and the government and the people celebrated without showing it.

At the end of October, when the army arrived in Tongzhou, Wang Dou suddenly received another piece of information from the intelligence officer.

After Wang Dou looked at it, he couldn't help being startled: "Li Zicheng already captured Luoyang?"
