The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 155
Previously, Ding Chengli's subordinates only detected more than a dozen carts escorted by two thousand Ming troops, so he concentrated his troops on dealing with this team.But I didn't expect that there would be a rear team three miles away, so I didn't take precautions at all.

A group of puppet soldiers killed Huang Mingjun's men and fled in all directions. He was in a state of triumph, but he didn't realize that thousands of soldiers and horses behind him had already killed hundreds of paces away, and then he suddenly realized it.

Liu Ruolin was in a hurry to rescue him, he didn't care about any formations or tactics, and plunged into the enemy's formation.

The recruits he brought had just been trained for less than a month, and they only knew how to follow the handsome flag, so they also rushed forward.

Seeing the Ming army coming up, the musketeers in the back row of Ding Chengli's troops approached me for a hand-to-hand fight, and immediately retreated forward.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Ding Chengli's soldiers are second-rate local defense troops, two chips behind Huang Mingjun's main force of the Ming army, and the advantage in the battle situation is only achieved by surprise ambushes.

At this time, someone disrupted the formation from the side and rear, and immediately showed the original shape of the traditional Ming army. They only knew that they were scattered and fled, and their comrades in arms and military discipline were all forgotten.

Although Su Guansheng's Xinwei army were all new recruits, it would be impossible to fight with real swords and guns, but at this time the enemy army was already defeated, and it was always possible to chase after them with their swords raised.For a time, he drove the puppet captives far away in a mighty way, and since then he has killed many enemies, but it seems unstoppable.

On the other side, when Jiang Zhengxi's troops were on the verge of collapse, they also suddenly saw that the enemy army started to stir up from behind, and after only a moment, they were defeated without a fight and began to flee.

Only then did Jiang Zhengxi's generals see Liu Ruolin leading the charge not far away, leading dozens of confidantes to attack the enemy's rear. He also quickly summoned his troops to cooperate with Liu Ruolin in chasing down the defeated army.

Liu Ruolin charged around the enemy formation, worried about the safety of the Holy Majesty, and circled his horse back to the vicinity of the Queen's carriage to help Huang Mingjun wipe out the remnants of the surrounding enemy. He divided three or 400 people with their swords and spears facing outward, and surrounded "Yu Huo" in the middle .

Empress Zeng saw that the outside of the car was gradually calming down, so she looked out of the car window and saw that there were "Su" flags all around.Another middle-aged military general with a square face urged his horse to come, and shouted loudly two feet outside the car: "The humble escort came late, the Holy One was frightened."

"Your Majesty is all right, I'm sorry for the general." Zeng Huang sat in the car and asked, "Is the general under the command of the University of Su?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the empress, the humble post is Liu Ruolin, Chief Qian of the Su Ge Department."

Empress Zeng nodded slightly, and asked again: "Where is the Su University now?"

"Su..." Liu Ruolin was a little embarrassed, so he had to go back, "The Su Ge department should chase the enemy there."

After nearly two hours, Huang Mingjun led his men to wipe out all the "captive troops" who were assassinating him. Although Ding Chengli was not captured, his lieutenant Wang Xuan was captured.

After the interrogation, it was learned that Ding Chengli led his troops to shave their hair and surrendered early before they even got in touch with Jianlu.This ambush is just to get some "military merit" by shooting some food and materials, so that it will be convenient to ask for rewards when the Manchus arrive.

It's just that Ding Chengli didn't know that his clever act of "showing loyalty" almost killed the prince of Ming Dynasty, and had an extremely huge impact on the court structure of Ming Dynasty afterwards.

Afterwards, Huang Mingjun sent another person to send thousands of captives to Datian, and Wang Xuan followed Huang Daozhou's intention to behead them on the spot to deter Xiao Xiaoxiao, and ordered Ding Chengli and other escaped leaders to be arrested.

Besides, Su Guansheng didn't bring two hundred "reinforcements" from Datian City until this time and returned cautiously. He didn't hear the sound of fighting, and sent people to investigate carefully to confirm that the captive army had been defeated.

It was still far away from the Queen's car, when he saw Liu Ruolin coming up to meet him, Su Guansheng hurriedly asked him about the battle process, and when he learned that his Xinwei army attacked the enemy later and rescued the Queen and the crown prince from exhaustion, he made an accidental decision. Miraculous work, can't help but be elated.

Su Guansheng immediately galloped to the front of Empress Zeng's car, first asked the empress and the prince if they were all right, and then told the empress what Liu Ruolin had just told him about the battle.

It's just that under his description, the whole battle turned into his strategizing. First, he observed the enemy's formation and saw the enemy's weakness, and then how to carefully instruct Liu Ruolin to lead his army to attack the enemy's weak point and break through it. Array.

He led people around to support him, defeating the enemy's attempts to counterattack several times. Finally, when the enemy was defeated, he was worried about the lack of troops, so he went to Datian to send [-] reinforcements.Now that the bandit army is gone and there are reinforcements, Her Royal Highness can feel at ease.

"The Su Ge Department has made great contributions this time, and it is really a pillar of the society." Empress Zeng praised it greatly, and it is comparable to Guan Zhong and Le Yi.

On the other side, Huang Mingjun and others were fighting bloody battles with the enemy at that time, and they didn't know what was going on with Su Guansheng. Although what he said felt wrong, they couldn't refute it.

As for Liu Ruolin, following the bad habits of the Ming Dynasty, most of the combat achievements of soldiers were attributed to their immediate superiors, so not only did they not expose Su Guansheng, but they also helped him speak a lot.

After the empress drove back on the road, Su Guansheng also became a popular person in front of Empress Zeng. He had to be summoned seven or eight times a day to discuss matters, almost on a par with Zodiac Zhou.

A few days later, the brigade arrived in Yongfu County and entered the city for repairs.This place is less than three hundred miles away from the capital.

Su Guansheng saw that the crown prince was about to return to the palace soon, so he couldn't wait to go to meet the queen, and talked about the "big event" he had been planning for a long time these days.

"Oh? It's related to the rise and fall of the country?" Empress Zeng said in surprise, "Please tell the Su Ge department bluntly."

Su Guansheng cleared his throat, bowed and said: "The heavenly position cannot be temporarily vacant. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to Tianxing Mansion this time, and he will assume the throne as the emperor."

Empress Zeng leaned forward slightly when she heard that the crown prince's succession was what she was most concerned about right now, and she immediately said: "What Su Ge said is absolutely true."

Su Guansheng continued: "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, after succeeding to the throne, His Royal Highness the Empress will be in charge temporarily."

Empress Zeng nodded inwardly, but she knew that he must have something to say, "Su Ge Department, please continue."

"His Royal Highness lives in a deep palace, and it may be inconvenient for foreign affairs. The elected person will take care of the table for you." Su Guansheng paused for a while, but did not see any reaction from Empress Zeng, and said, "Your Highness, please appoint a Minister of Gu Ming. Announce to the world that only when the crown prince ascends the throne can he assist His Royal Highness the Queen in dealing with the government affairs, and the country will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Empress Zeng frowned slightly, but she didn't answer him immediately, she just said: "The Ministry of Su Ge has thought carefully, and it is true that we should arrange for Minister Gu Ming in advance."

With Su Guansheng's great contribution to "rescue him" this time, he is determined to win the position of Minister Gu Ming.

His palms were already sweating, he took a half step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know, is there a suitable candidate for Your Highness the Empress?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Empress Zeng say: "Minister Gu Ming, it's only appropriate that a pillar of the country like the Su Ge Department be in charge."
