Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 446
After all, Jiannu has a reputation for being vicious. For so many days, although he has fought against him without fear, it is absolutely false that there is no psychological pressure. From Song Qingshu to the bottom of the soldiers, their hearts are all tense One string, the celebration last night was not only a victory, but also a kind of relaxation from the pressure.

This night, it was rare for Song Qingshu, Sun Chuanting and other senior officials of the Qihuo Army to sleep peacefully.

Even the patrolling guards felt a little more relaxed, and even the sentry standing guard on the bastion was confused for a while. With the first ray of sunlight coming into view, the sentry who had taken a nap while leaning on the flintlock was stunned. Sitting on the ground, he immediately jumped up like a conditioned reflex, and looked nervously at the Jianshou camp opposite.

The beggar army is rich enough, and even the sentinels are allotted with binoculars. The monocular binoculars and the big eyes are looking at the Jiannu barracks with all their strength. If there were coated slaves coming out to cook and feed the horses at this time, But today, the entire camp was quiet, not to mention people, not a single ghost was seen.

After spying around, the sentinel finally turned his attention to the stables, which were actually empty. The war horses that were full were gone, and there were not a few piles of horse manure left.

Without people, you can still say that you are sleeping late. Without horses, you can't take a bath in the glacier together, right?After being stupid for a few seconds, the sentry turned his head and sprinted down, yelling loudly.

"Jiannu has retired! Jiannu has retired!"

…………

I don’t know how many fierce people in history, who were on the verge of the world, were close to the door. But at this juncture, the top 13 has lost a good situation. Even if the slave camp is as empty as Beijing and Shenyang after returning home from the Spring Festival, Song Qingshu still Vigilantly, the whole army was brought out and pushed over in a battle formation. The two vanguard divisions entered the slave camp. After a long time, the sergeants ran out excitedly and reported to Qianjunhui.

"Master! Jianu really has to retire!"

"Also, Marshal, Jianu also dropped a lot of supplies!"

Just now, he was pretending to be Xinyueban inspecting, and the guard who came out to report said that there were supplies!Song Qingshu's eyes immediately lit up like light bulbs.

Jiannu really withdrew, without looking back, Dorgon is still sensible, most of the wealth plundered in the Central Plains for so long can't be taken away, and all of them are thrown away on the spot, which can be regarded as payment to the beggar army After paying the protection fee, during the three days after the new year, the beggar army was busy collecting supplies, and ten kilometers away from the slave camp, the cavalry once again cracked down on another slave camp, where there were more supplies. Moreover, the eastern captives plundered as many as [-] to [-] people in the Central Plains, and all of them were there.

Mr. Lu Xun said that he was saddened by his misfortune and angered by him, and he was talking about them. The Jiannu who guarded them ran away for a day, and tens of thousands of people just squatted in the cold cages and did not dare to run away.

It is said that once the cannon is fired, the gold is ten thousand taels. War is really a waste of money. So far, Song Qingshu has spent more than one million taels in military pay. Among them, there are 24 taels of silver alone, more than [-] pieces of unopened silk cloth, and [-] boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. , There are actually several boxes of ancient books looted, all of which are unique books of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The Jian slaves outside the customs are actually quite poor. From gold and silver to rags, salt, wine and vinegar rice, there is nothing they don’t want to snatch. The good ones are counted. I can't see it anymore, and the pots and jars were thrown into a hill. The news spread that when Jiannu came, the nearby villagers ran clean, like ants who smelled sweet. Between the two barracks of the Qihuo Army, there are tens of thousands of people every day, which is quite a sight.

The last ones to come were the officers and soldiers. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Song Qingshu sent a messenger to convey the news of repelling Jiannu to the Liaodong Army camp in Jize. Jize is only sixty miles away from Guangzong. Gao Qiqian waited for five days in a daze, and finally arrived on the fifth day of the lunar new year. At this time, Song Qingshu had already packed up his things and went home.

The Baiyangdian camp sent a convoy of more than 1 people. When they arrived, the carts carrying food and ammunition were all emptied. They were loaded with cloth and silver, and the most important thing was the ashes of the dead. , planning to take a boat into the sea there, and then go home along the road when I came.

This time, a lot of Liaodong war horses were seized. The heavy shielded chariots discarded by Jiannu threw away the protective oar shields, and a lot of chariots were freed. The cavalry of the first two battalions galloped gracefully, and the infantry of the middle brigade carried The flintlocks marched on both sides with arrogance. If it weren't for the wounded soldiers who were pulled up in slave carts behind, this army would hardly have experienced a bitter battle just now.

Passing shoulder to shoulder with the Liaodong Army on the way, the sight of this scene is so high that the eyeballs are straight.

More than a dozen soldiers from the Beijing camp arrogantly intercepted the army, and asked to see Song Qingshu, the general of Huaihe River and Huaihe River, although what he did was a bit out of line, but Song Qingshu still didn't intend to tear his face with Gao Qiqian and the others. Throwing the army to Sun Chuanting's command, he hurried over with his own soldiers and a few good horses.

"The last general pays his respects to Lord Supervisor!"

Far away, this time Song Qingshu dismounted politely, but he just stepped forward and clasped his fists, but Gao Qiqian was obviously not in a good mood, with his slack cheeks turned to the sky, and he let Song Qingshu hang out for a long time before he said with a cold snort.

"Song Zongbing is so majestic! The emperor has repeatedly said that he can't fight in waves. In the end, our Huai army is good. Not to mention challenging Jiannu alone, we can actually beat Jiannu back. How can our family dare to be visited by Song Zongbing?" , I have to give you credit when I go back!"

"My father-in-law was joking. The last general was indeed young and frivolous. He ignored the overall situation. Fortunately, with the majesty of His Majesty and father-in-law, he repelled Jian Nu, chopped off more than a dozen heads, and retreated completely. The last general knows his mistake!"

In this world, one has to apologize after winning a battle, but Song Qingshu is in a good mood, and his posture is full, and he speaks beautifully one after another. It can be seen that he admits his mistakes sincerely, and after all, Lu Xiangsheng was killed in this battle. If you don't do anything, you will face criticism from the officials when you go back. Although looking at the big and small parcels, you don't believe that the begging army has repelled Jiannu, but you can win him over and share some military merits, so you can talk in court.

After all, it is a relationship of mutual use, Gao Qiqian's face finally eased a little, and he showed a little smile.

"But having said that, now in the Ming Dynasty, there are not many generals who dare to fight like Song Zongbing. Although this time he acted recklessly, at least he has made some military achievements. Letting our family fight side by side is also face-to-face. Shangguang, in this way, Song Zongbing will hand over Jiannu's head to our family, so that our family can go and pay for the Zongbing!"

The word fighting side by side is very serious, and the head is handed over to the Liaodong Army. Who knows who will be hacked by the court and who will be rewarded?Gao Qiqian's request really embarrassed Song Qingshu, and he didn't speak for a while.

Seeing his frown, Gao Qiqian raised his face again.

"Why, the general soldier is in trouble?"

"Back to the supervisory army, that, the last general at the first level didn't pay attention to chopping it up, so he just threw it away and didn't take it with the army. That's good, the last general ordered his own soldiers to chop it up, and how about handing it over to the eunuch later?"

Hearing Song Qingshu's words, Gao Qiqian was even more disappointed, so go chop it now?He has seen this a lot. It is nothing more than the officers and soldiers killing the common people, beheading their heads to falsely report their military exploits. They will no longer repay the so-called begging army to fight back and build slaves. Gao Qiqian snorted coldly: "This is very good." , the commander-in-chief can go on his own, the governor is busy with military affairs, so I won't accompany you!"

What you just said was good, why did you turn your back on it?Song Qingshu is really confused, but Gao Qiqian was the chief eunuch who served in the residence of Emperor Chongzhen when he was the king of Xin. He was trusted by Chongzhen. He didn't fall when Yang Sichang fell. I really don't want to have too much trouble with him. , Song Qingshu cupped his fist cheekily again.

"Master Supervisor, this time the general got a few good horses! Please accept it!"

For the horse, Gao Qiqian, the military eunuch who supervises the army, really likes it. He hummed indifferently, Song Qingshu waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately brought the horse over, but this time he didn't wait for Gao Qiqian to take a look. An extremely angry voice yelled over first.

"Wu Mingji! Marshal Lu entrusted this Ming horse to you, and you don't want to repay it, but actually please him! Do you still have a little bit of conscience?"

Gao Qiqian's face almost turned green, but seeing the civil servant rushing out from behind, he swallowed his words depressed again. Although he is powerful, he can't handle a speech official like Yang Tinglin. Qingliu also has nothing to do. If he catches one, he might cause a nest, which is troublesome.

This Yang Tinglin ran out of the cavalry angrily to grab the reins of the horse, while the other Yang Tinglin arrogantly raised his head as if he hadn't heard it, and still flirted with Song Qingshu casually, thinking about these few days He couldn't help sighing a series of political battles with Lu Xiangsheng last month.

"In July last year, Mr. Lu was still handsome and handsome, and the famous generals and horses matched each other well. It's really a good fortune. Now the famous generals are gone, only the horses are left!"

Hearing Gao Qiqian's hesitation, Song Qingshu's next sentence almost caused half of the Liaodong Army cavalry to fall off their horses. With a very puzzled expression, Song Qingshu shook his head seriously.

"Gao Gonggong was joking, Lu Xiangsheng is not dead!"

"what?"

In such a fierce battle, as Yang Tinglin said, the entire Tianxiong Army was destroyed. These days, the defeated soldiers who are as fierce as a tiger Yang Dezhu are gathered together. He still felt sorry for the death of the minister, but according to what Song Qingshu said, Lu Xiangsheng did not die!Gao Qiqian's sense of crisis suddenly burst out again irrepressibly.

After all, paper cannot contain fire. If Lu Xiangsheng complained to the court angrily that he would not save himself if he refused to obey the military order, it would probably cause another big disturbance!Not only Gao Qiqian, but even Yang Tinglin couldn't help but get off his horse and run back. The two asked anxiously almost at the same time.

"Really? Where is Mr. Lu?"

"I was captured by Jiannu. When the last general confronted Jiannu, he even escorted Lu Xiangsheng out to show off to our army!"

Listening to Song Qingshu's swearing words, Yang Tinglin grabbed Song Qingshu's collar and roared in disbelief.

"impossible!"
