The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 692
Huang Sheng tactfully rejected all the officers and soldiers who wanted to follow him to the south to suppress the bandits, because the suppression of the bandits is not about the number of people, but about working together.

These army leaders later found that they were self-defeating, because the emperor saw that the morale was available, and transferred more than half of King Qin of Gyeonggi this time to Shanshan and Shaanxi to return to the command of Hong Chengchou, the commander-in-chief of the five provinces.

Yue Tuo and Jierhalang betrayed the Mongols and got a chance to escape. They continued to detour back to Liaodong through Mongolia. They did not dare to make troubles on the road. They avoided the Ming army gathered at the city of Jinzhou and crossed the Sancha River. They finally arrived at Shengcheng in early October. Beijing.

Hongxie was shocked when he received the report of the defeat, and ordered Yue Tuo and Jierhalang to leave troops under Hauge's command to strengthen the defense on the front line of the Sancha River, and asked the two Baylors to come to "Xinjing" immediately to report on the battle gains and losses.

Although Yue Tuo and his two belonged to fleeing defeat, the losses of the troops in the headquarters were limited, but the gains were actually quite a lot. The gold and silver treasures they grabbed were worth more than one million taels of silver.

They will come and collect property worth 70 taels and send it to the public. After listening to Yue Tuo explaining the ins and outs clearly, Hong didn't blame the two, but comforted them with kind words.

Hong Xie believed that Yue Tuo reacted quickly and dealt with the problem decisively, avoiding the fate of the Qing army being surrounded and wiped out by the "God of War" troops, because he had already learned that more than [-] Mongolian cavalry were blocked in Daming Pass, and none of them managed to escape in the end.

Besides, he didn't want to see the domineering Duduo at all, and he didn't like Abate. In this battle, the two self-reliant Belle Yuetuo and Jierhalang came back. Losing Duduo and Abate seemed to be a blessing in disguise.

Dorgon saw that the emperor didn't deal with Yue Tuo and Jierhalang who had returned after a big defeat. He was furious and stopped them on the street to beg for his younger brother Duoduo. Knives also injured a dozen people.

Hong Jie took the opportunity to make Dorgon think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and punished Zhengbai Qi with seven cattle records to share with the other seven banners.

Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish, Hong Evil begins to eliminate dissidents, and his goal is to straighten the white flag. The dormant Mang Gurtai sees it in his eyes. He wonders if he can contact Dorgon and deal with Hong Evil together in the future. .

Prince Haoge, who confronted Heihu and Lu Chengzu on the Jinzhou front, unexpectedly met his uncle Duoduo who was a few years younger than him.

Doduo, who used to be arrogant and rude, was like a bereaved dog, with a hunchback and sweating from time to time.

Abatai, who came back together, was fine. He was not cut off, nor was he abused excessively. During his capture, he slept and ate, ate and slept, and gained weight.

Haug learned that the two Baylors and one hundred soldiers were released by the "God of War" after being captured, and immediately arrested them all.

He didn't dare to deal with these people without authorization, and sent a Jiala Ezhen to escort Duoduo and the others to "Xinjing" and hand them over to his father.

Good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and soon everyone in the Qing Dynasty knew that Da Ming had captured the two Baylors and released them without killing them.

After receiving the hot potato thrown by Huang Sheng, Hong Jie, who is quite imperial, also showed generosity. Instead of beheading 100 people, he made these people serfs and never gave them a chance to wear armor.

The two Baylors were demoted to common people and confined.Such treatment was kind enough for the barbarians, and none of the military nobles of the Manchu Qing had any objection.

Hongxie was worried that the "God of War" would continue to attack his prince, so he immediately asked Haoge to retreat and go to Shengjing to garrison, so that the northern part of the Ming Dynasty could rest for the time being.

Hong Chengchou was very excited when he heard the news. He wrote a letter to ask Heihu and Lu Chengzu to participate in the suppression of the bandits in Shanshan and Shaanxi.

Between Liaodong Ningyuan and Jinzhou, there are more than [-] "God of War" troops under the command of He Kegang, Qing Geertai, and Cheng Dashi. The fortress has also formed a system. The slavery has been taught a lesson. Now it has changed from offensive to defensive. The battle situation can be let go first.

Chongzhen once again convened a discussion on the platform of important officials. After learning of Hong Chengchou's request, all the powerful officials agreed to use a strong army from outside the pass to enter the mainland to participate in the suppression of bandits, and strive to completely solve the confidant of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the King of Nan had long stated that he would eliminate the thieves who fled in Jiangbei, Huguang, and Henan in Nanzhili.

The imperial court then concentrated elite troops to encircle and wipe out the bandits from the Gao Yingxiang tribe who were fleeing in Shanshan and Shanxi. It is very possible to quell the civil strife within a year or two.

The army of the King of the South has already gone south, Huang Sheng has shown by action that he will not be an enemy of Daming, and has given up the god-given opportunity to lead the arrogant soldiers straight into the imperial city to replace Daming.

Chongzhen already had a little faith in Huang Sheng's character. The Southern King did not rebel, and this hidden danger was eliminated. The emperor was full of confidence these days, and he saw the dawn of Ming Dynasty Zhongxing again.

The emperor decreed that Heihu and Lu Chengzu's prince Taibao were conferred the title of Taibao and Wu Jinglue was given the false title. The Ministry of War dispatched their two generals' troops to Shaanxi to participate in the extermination of Gao Yingxiang.

This time, the Ming Dynasty showed its power and assembled an army of 10,000+. Among them, there were no less than [-] powerful frontier troops. There were more than [-] Guan Ning and Qingjiao cavalry led by Heihu and Lu Chengzu. Hong Chengchou gained such strength. With his talent, Gao Yingxiang had a hard time.

The fact that the imperial court was able to afford the food and pay for this large-scale suppression of bandits was of course due to the fact that Laipi paid for the military expenses of the Southern King, and the fact that the Southern King paid for the attack on Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

Huang Sheng prepared to destroy Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and other rogues with a team of eleven thousand generals, plus more than [-] auxiliary soldiers.

There were also less than [-] iron cavalry outside the Huangjiaguan, [-] cavalry in the interior, and [-] horses and horses. Along the way, there will be infantry and village warriors who stayed in the interior to join forces.

In order to expand his influence, Huang Sheng made a battalion of three thousand people into one battalion. The Chinese army was divided into seven battalions and went south by different routes. He personally led the Chinese army with nearly 2 horses to march along the Grand Canal.

Although the north wind was blowing and the weather was cold, the "God of War" men and horses were full of energy, the military songs were loud and clear along the way, and the common people ate pots of milk to welcome the benevolent and righteous army.

The heroic military song: "...I would like to defend the land and open up the frontiers, and the Ming Dynasty will let the Quartet come to congratulate..." The soldiers and civilians along the way are familiar with it, and the "God of War" soldiers starve to death and do not plunder the common people.

Every day during the march, the situation of fish and water between the army and the people was staged. The "God of War" never harassed the common people. They all lived in their own marching tents and never entered the common people's homes.

When stationed at night, the propaganda team would go from village to household to publicize the discipline of the "God of War", and tell the common people that if they were struggling to make a living, they could follow Nanwang to the "Nanming" territory to make a living.

Nan Wang, who loves the people like his son, will ensure that every household has no worries about food and clothing, and gradually leads a prosperous life. ....

This time, the great Long March will be recorded in the annals of history, covering a wide area along the way, and the propaganda team will spread the good stories of the "God of War" Bodhisattva soldier widely, and the glorious image of the people's savior created by Huang Sheng will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
