Catching Zhang Yan's gaze, the girl grinned her small mouth, the corners of her mouth were still stained with snack crumbs, and asked in a childish voice, "You are a thousand-year-old queen, what do you eat every day?"

Zhang Yan giggled, wiped the corners of the girl's mouth with a silk handkerchief, and asked, "Then what do you eat every day?"

"I—" the girl tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "I eat porridge, flower rolls, and fragrant pickles in the morning; rice, broth, and stir-fried vegetables at noon; in the evening, in the evening --do not know yet!"

Amused by this naive answer, Zhang Yan laughed tremblingly, stretched out her hand to call the maid, grabbed a lot of candies for the girl, and said: "Eat more, grow faster, and study hard during class." Oh!"

The little girl nodded happily, and said crisply: "Thank you Empress Chitose, I can read twenty, twenty characters."

"Well, that's amazing!" Zhang Yan stroked the girl's little face, and tidied up her new clothes again.

On the other side, Zhu Youxiao is still explaining to Liu Kejing, the eunuch of Bingbi.As for ready-made teachers, the eunuchs in the palace can act as them.

Children learn the four basic subjects of literacy, arithmetic, geography, and history. It usually takes a six-year schooling system. After passing the exam, they will go to higher education institutions for further study.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the servants personally select the palace servants to teach according to the textbooks sent by His Highness." Liu Kejing replied respectfully, "As long as they study hard, His Highness will be satisfied."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "In the past five or six years, the emphasis has been on basic learning. It should not be relaxed, nor should it be too strict. I think there are still things to be improved. If Liu Ban has suggestions, I will also available."

"I'll save it for you servants." Liu Kejing bowed and agreed.

Zhu Youxiao glanced over and saw Liu Ruoyu rushing over, knowing that there was an urgent business.Something happened again somewhere, and he frowned slightly.

That is the emperor!You're really young, not a few years older than me, right?

Zhu Youxiao didn't notice that among the children, a pair of beautiful eyes came over from time to time, looking at him, the Nine-Five Supreme.

Liaodong, Xiuyan.

A few sheets of "Daming Forum" were placed on the table, and Huang Taiji was holding one in his hand, and was looking at it intently.

Since the strategic contraction of the Ming army, the disengagement with Houjin, and the intensified investigation of various borders, Houjin's intelligence collection has fallen into a difficult situation.

With the attached Liao people as spies, he was able to enter the pass as a refugee.But it is easy to enter and difficult to exit, how to sneak back to Houjin is a big problem.

And Dengzhen and Dongjiang were also extremely tightly blocked at sea, which cut off Houjin's channel for inquiring news.

After thinking about this major strategic adjustment of the Ming army, Huang Taiji was not only shocked, but also admired.

How much courage to make such a major decision.Just a proactive contraction puts one's own side in a dilemma, and creates great difficulties for future siege.

First of all, the existence of the blank area in the middle greatly increased the early warning time of the Ming army, and Jiannu's quick surprise attack almost lost its effect;

Secondly, both Ningyuan and Juehua were guarded by the army, and no civilians were left to live there. However, some Liao people who escaped from the Houjin-occupied area were not even allowed to enter the city and were sent directly to the pass.This trick made Hou Jin's usual technique of destroying the city useless.

And these "Da Ming Tribune" newspapers were obtained by Mongolian spies sent by Li Yongfang to infiltrate into Ming land and bribe Shanxi businessmen with a lot of money.

In any case, such an intelligence route is basically determined.He is not afraid of spending money, as long as he can get information and find out about the Ming court.

After a long while, Huang Taiji put down the newspaper, and thoughtfully said to Luo Xiujin who had been waiting quietly: "The more I read it, the more I feel that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not simple. What do you think?"

Luo Xiujin was from Liaoyang, surrendered to Houjin as a living being, was valued by Huang Taiji, and stayed by his side for listening.

Hearing Huang Taiji's question, Luo Xiujin thought for a while, and said: "Master Belle thinks highly of him, what knowledge can he gain if he is skilled in the hands of women in the deep palace? I think that these plans are made by someone else."

Huang Taiji raised his eyebrows and asked, "Anyone else? Who are you referring to?"

Luo Xiujin shook her head and said: "I don't know, but I consciously guessed that it is correct."

Huang Taiji pondered for a while, then said with his jaw: "There is some truth. The little emperor has been on the throne for more than two years. If he is really wise and wise, it will not be revealed until now."

Luo Xiujin echoed: "Master Baylor is absolutely right. The top priority is, I think we should first find out who is behind this plan."

"Fushun's son-in-law has sent people to continue spying, and if there is any result, someone will know." Huang Taiji paused, and said: "The current situation is quite unfavorable for my Dajin!"

Luo Xiujin knew that this was true, and Huang Taiji's move was to prove his trust in him.You must know that although Guangning suffered setbacks, Houjin did not feel a sense of crisis from top to bottom.

But Huang Taiji saw from these newspapers that the situation was unfavorable, and Luo Xiujin admired it very much.

In the final analysis, Houjin's foundation is too weak, facing the behemoth of Ming Dynasty, he is not afraid of rushing, but is afraid of consumption and blockade.

The current posture of the Ming army, although there is no immediate oppression, but the longer the time, the more effective it will be.However, there are not many Hou Jin who are aware of the crisis and are eager to think about countermeasures.

Luo Xiujin thought for a while, and said: "I think it is feasible to transfer Xiong Tingbi away from Liaodong; secondly, strengthen the attack on Mao Wenlong's troops to relieve future worries."

Huang Taiji smiled slightly, and said: "This plan is suitable for a certain person. However, it may take some time to succeed. Besides, Xiong Tingbi seems to have the trust of the little emperor, and whether the plan will succeed or not is uncertain. between."

"Three people become a tiger." Luo Xiujin said: "Besides, Xiong Tingbi has a hot temper, he is unwilling to be humble, and the public opinion in the court does not approve of him."

"Chaotang—" Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes, because he didn't know much about the situation, and he didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly.

At this time, the personal guards came in to report, and the messenger sent by Erbeile Amin sent an urgent report.

Huang Taiji frowned, feeling ominous, and ordered his personal guards to bring the messenger in.

"The siege of Lushun Fort was frustrated, and Zhai Sanggu was killed in battle..." After hearing the messenger's narration, Huang Taiji was quite shocked, and asked anxiously, "How many troops are the enemy guarding Lushun Fort?"

The messenger knelt on one knee and replied: "According to Erbaile's judgment, there are about 6000 people."

Huang Taiji felt that this was similar to his own guess, Lushun Fort was not big, so these troops could be garrisoned.

But Erbeile Amin led more than 1 troops, how could he not be able to attack and send people to ask for help?
"How much did Er Baylor's troops lose?" Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice.

"Back to Lord Baylor, our army attacked three times, with more than [-] casualties." The messenger lowered his head dejectedly, "Er Baylor wants to transfer the troops guarding the South Gate to attack the city. Order the villain to come and ask Babeile to send troops to garrison Nanguan."

Huang Taiji nodded, and said: "The rear road must be safe, and this discussion with Shuo Belle is really safe."

After a pause, he continued: "Get up, and tell me the details of the battle."

........................

Outside Lushun Fort.

Erbeile Amin looked at the Ming army's position in the distance with hatred, and swung the horse whip in the air, only in this way can he vent his anger.

In the distance, many tall poles were erected on the positions of the Ming army, with human heads hanging on them.Such provocations and demonstrations made Amin resentful, and the generals around him were also furious.

Combining fiction and reality, and attacking in the opposite direction, the military operation that had high hopes suffered a disastrous failure.

Not only because the Ming army had been prepared for a long time and their firearms were fierce; even the original weakness of hand-to-hand combat has been greatly improved. This is the fact that shocked Amin and others.

Shield chariots are difficult to use in front of wide trenches, and heavy armor can hardly resist the sharp Lumi guns. Even the proud melee combat can no longer easily defeat the Ming army. What other means of defeating the enemy and winning?

"Brother, let's go back to the camp!" Seeing that his elder brother was showing signs of running away again, Ji Erhalang hurried forward to persuade him, "When the reinforcements arrive, we will defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and we will cut them to pieces."

A Min let out two gusts of gas from his nostrils like a bull, looked again unwillingly, pulled out his horse, and ran towards the camp without saying a word.

Jierhalang sighed helplessly, followed closely behind his brother's horse, and galloped forward.

After using all three axes, instead of defeating the enemy, they lost troops, and they didn't even get close to Lushun Fort. It was really frustrating and helpless.

"Lord Belle—"

The soldier's call made Jierharang turn around, without the soldier speaking, he had already seen two straight pillars of smoke rising from Fort Lushun.

One pillar yesterday, two pillars today?Jierhalang frowned tightly. Although he didn't know what the Ming army meant by sending this signal, he felt ominous.

The safest course of action should be to temporarily retreat to Nanguan, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then come to attack the city.

But this suggestion was rejected by Amin yesterday.The reason is that they were worried that the Ming army would take the opportunity to escape and could not avenge their brother Zhai Sanggu.

Jierhalang pondered for a long time, and when he looked up at the two pillars of smoke, he still made up his mind and mounted his horse to chase after his brother.Troop casualties are not small, it is safer to retreat first.

But before Jierhalang caught up with his brother to persuade him, there was a sudden roar of muskets and a loud explosion in the northwest direction.

The voice was far away, and it sounded a bit vague, but Jierhalang stopped his horse suddenly and frowned tightly.

In the northwest direction, that is the main road leading to Nanguan and Jinzhou. If it is cut off, wouldn't it be equivalent to isolating our own army?
"Go and inquire quickly to see what's going on?" Jierhalang turned his head and ordered a few followers, and watched them gallop away before continuing to chase his brother.

Behind him, the sound of rumbling war drums shook the world, and teams of Ming troops from Fort Lushun, who had already been prepared, drove out.

On the road a few miles away, a group of Jiannu who were transporting the wounded to Nanguan had already been beaten to death by the ferocious firearms, and either died or fled.

He Zan commanded the [-] musketeers in his command, and the [-] pikemen borrowed by Zhang Pan were waiting in formation.

The [-] musketeers led by Zhang Bang, together with the [-] saber shields, were arranged on the slopes of the two wings, forming a concave formation with the friendly troops.

The carts discarded by Jiannu, the wounded Jiannu soldiers who had been beheaded, and the messy branches, and the big trees that were cut down next to the main road to block the road formed a roadblock that stretched for tens of meters.

As the flag waved, He Zan couldn't help showing a smile on his young face as he watched his allies respond quickly.

There is no extravagant hope of completely annihilating Jiannu, and the existing troops are not capable of blocking other paths.However, it is not too difficult to attack back and forth with the friendly forces of Lushun Fort and kill a large number of enemies.

The horseshoes roared, and they were coming here at a high speed in the distance.

The sun was shining warmly on his body, He Zan looked up, the blue sky and white clouds gave off a sense of distance and depth.

With a clang, He Zan drew out the sharp blade at his waist, looked forward firmly, pointed the waist knife forward, and shouted loudly: "Ready to fight!"

roar, roar, roar!
The spears are like a forest, pointing obliquely forward; the muskets are flat, and the black muzzle exudes a murderous look.

........................

The Yalu River is in front of you, and the waves are rolling, and there are bursts of noise on the beach on the shore.

Dabeile Daishan watched expressionlessly, Manpu and Changcheng were just across the river, but he didn't dare to cross the river easily.

For Mao Wenlong, who is accustomed to guerrilla attacks and has a keen sense of smell, he would not be fooled at all by interspersed attack and sticky attraction.

What's more, the main purpose of this battle is to train troops, and to test the tactics in actual combat. How can there be any reason to fight hard against Jiannu?
It took a lot of casualties to advance to the Yalu River, which made Daishan and others very depressed.Scolding Mao Wenlong for treachery will not help the matter, the immediate difficulties are the most important.

It is possible for the slaves to cross the river by logging and setting up pontoon bridges, but will the Ming army retreating to the opposite side allow them to achieve their goals so easily?
Obviously, the answer is no.

After experiencing the sharpness of the new firearms of the Ming army, Dai Shan had to have doubts about the next action.

"Set up the camp, cut down the trees, and send people to scout the situation on the other side." Daishan thought for a long time, and finally gave the order.

Then, he reined in his horse and walked away, ignoring Ning Wanwo who came up to offer advice.

After Ning Wan, I was a border resident of Liaoyang, an old slave who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty.

Daishan despises the descendants of Jin Han people, which is completely different from Huang Taiji's attitude.

The Zhenghong and Xianghong flags led by Daishan stopped at the Yalu River.However, the Dongjiang Army changed its deployment, abandoned Manpu and Changcheng, and turned south.

This order was issued a little suddenly, Mao Chenglu, Kong Youde and others were full of doubts, not knowing what kind of consideration Mao Shuai had.

With the warm wind blowing on his face, Mao Wenlong rode on horseback, followed by the two lieutenants of the Dongjiang Army, Chen Jisheng and Gou Zhenhuai.

Deliberately slowing down, Mao Wenlong turned to Gou Zhenhuai and said, "The generals must not understand the sudden order to abandon Manpu and Changcheng. General Gou, what do you think?"

For Gou Zhenhuai, Mao Wenlong has always been a little confused.Ordinarily, it should be the supervising army sent by the emperor, but they usually don't seem to care about anything.Whether it is military discussions or marching and fighting, there is little interference.
