Wang Pu in the late Ming Dynasty

"The captives came from the north, the Shenjia battalion rejected it with firearms, even if the enemy tried his best, it was still a futile struggle, and more than half of the casualties had been killed and wounded before the short encounter, the iron armor of the Shenjia battalion was the best in the world, and the melee was even more fearless, and the enemy army was killed and defeated by chopping melons and vegetables. The remnants of the enemy tried to flee, but they were all shot off their horses one by one, and the whole army was annihilated, and none of them escaped. "There was silence in the court, and in two or three clicks, the Dongyu Baijia soldiers were killed without leaving a piece of armor, what a strong army this is, but I am afraid that the Qi family army in the past was nothing more than that.

"Wang Aiqing, it turns out that you have such bravery, isn't the cowardice before intentional, what is the reason. Chongzhen was suspicious, thinking that this son was suspected of raising his own respect, and his expression was not good.

"Although Weichen has a little bravery, but after all, the military is insufficient, only a thousand people, in the face of more than 100,000 captives, it is really more than enough and not enough, the saint is clear, if we make Weichen out of the city to meet the enemy, it is to hit the stone with an egg, and there is no doubt that Weichen heard that Mangui and Zhao Shujiao have been martyred, and they are afraid of following in their footsteps, so they want to retreat bravely and save their lives. Wang Pu was secretly frightened, the first time he faced the king, if he failed to leave a good impression, his career would be bumpy in the future, not to mention being promoted to the general army, but I was afraid that sooner or later he would be convicted and burped.

"Hey, Aiqing is too worried, how can I be so unreasonable, please get up quickly. Chongzhen heard that Wang Pu only had 1,000 soldiers, so he immediately let go of his suspicions and comforted him with a pleasant face.

After all, it is a happy event to offer victory in the temple, at this time, no one will not jump out to dig Wang Pu's black material, Chongzhen was busy with the ceremony, and specially instructed the eunuch Wang Chengen to give Wang Pu a tiger stripe brocade cloak, and the victory in the southern suburbs also spread to the provinces and counties of Daming with the arrival report, and the world is asking Wang Pu who he is. As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the past of cousin Qin Jinling denouncing him for indecent things spread violently for some reason, and since then Wang Pu has been nicknamed Human-faced Poultry Animal.

Generally, after the dedication, they

have to put on a feast to reward the three armies, but Chongzhen remembered that the captives outside the city were still looting everywhere, and they were in no mood, and they dispersed after the ceremony, Wang Pu went to find his father Wang Wei, asked him for a sum of silver, went to the restaurant to buy some wine and food, and sent it to the urn city to his own soldiers, and found that the soldiers in the urn city had already eaten and drunk a pass and were burping, it turned out that the defenders of the capital gave special treatment to the Shanxi military horses who won the battle, and even the feces and urine in the toilet buckets used by the soldiers could be washed diligently, which was very rare.

At this time, in the Forbidden City's Heart Cultivation Palace, Chongzhen was secretly discussing the military with Han Yi, the first assistant of the cabinet.

"I have

already said that I will not let Wang Pu go out of the city to meet the enemy again, you have no jokes, how can you go back on your word, and then with Wang Pu's thousand soldiers and horses, it is still too risky to go, I can't repeatedly damage good generals, Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui have learned from the past. Chongzhen shook his head again and again.

"The saint is sympathetic to the courtiers, but the courtiers can be pampered and spoiled, and it is the duty of the courtiers to worry about the king. Shoufu Han Yijin said.

"That being said, yes. Chongzhen has a good face, although he is a little moved at this time, he is very embarrassed and hesitates.

"Shengshang, there is a sentence that the old minister doesn't dare to say, but he has to say that as soon as Wang Pu is in Beijing, Yuan Chonghuan will never dare to enter Beijing to face the saint. Shoufu Han Yi suddenly showed his hole cards.

Chongzhen was really taken aback when he heard this, he glanced at Shoufu Han Yi meaningfully, this old minister had a low eyebrow, but Jiang was indeed old and spicy, and the old fox guessed his mind thoroughly.

Chongzhen paced left and right and thought for a long time, but he still made up his mind and said: "Issue a secret edict to order the Shenjia battalion to control Wang Pu, and immediately rush north to attack Zunhua, and cut off the capture of Kou's grain road to relieve the siege of the Beijing Division." The guards along the way were temporarily dispatched, and the prefectures and counties along the way tried their best to supply what they needed. "

But it was said that at this time outside the city of Nanhaizi, Huang Taiji closed his eyes and recuperated, and the surrounding courtiers were as quiet as cicadas, seeing that their Great Khan was in a bad mood, and they did not have the calm and calm of the past.

"Send someone to throw arrows tonight, and ask which Ming army killed my warriors, it turns out that the Nanban Emperor secretly hides an elite soldier, and I underestimate him. Huang Taiji suddenly sneered.

"Why do Nanban have such elite soldiers but never use them. Yue Tuo asked puzzled.

Judging from the corpses of the warriors, the firearms used by this military horse are very strange, and they can reach a distance of up to a hundred paces, and the accuracy is not low, so that our people can try to get a strange firearm, and how much silver is easy to say. "

"This kind of firearm is no match for artillery, we can set up a cannon a hundred paces away, and we can break through the enemy formation, but the artillery is too heavy, we need to surround the enemy first, and then wait for the artillery to arrive. Dorgon said in a deep voice.

Huang Taiji glanced at Dolgon, nodded slightly, he somewhat agreed with this tactic, but the artillery of Houjin was captured from the Ming army over the years, the number is not much, the models are mixed, and it is not easy to make, the shield car

may be more effective, but the shield car is afraid of artillery, this Ming army will blow up ten small cannons in order to hurry, Huang Taiji has personally seen it, and was surprised that these artillery pieces are well-made, the materials are extravagant, and there are grooves of unknown purpose on the inner wall of the barrel, which is different from the common artillery flat inner wall, it is expected that this new type of artillery is sharper, otherwise it will not take much effort to do so。

The next day, in the Governor's Mansion of the Left Capital of Beijing, Wang Pu was angry with the secret edict in his hand, the Dog Emperor was going to force him to die, not to bury the Ming Dynasty's warlike soldiers, the Dog Emperor couldn't eat, he only understood at this time, why Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu both supported the army and respected themselves, did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, and died early in the face of such an unreliable emperor.

The so-called cutting off the grain road, this is a bad idea that the birdman came up with, the Houjin army looted everywhere in Gyeonggi, and could grab a large amount of grain and grass every day, and the war did not depend on the back grain road at all, and the grain road was broken for a fart, which must be a sour Confucian doctor who did not understand military affairs talked about the war on paper and made bad ideas. It's a pity that the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and since he has received the edict, unless he immediately raises troops to rebel, he can only obediently take the order out of the city to die.

"This must be Han Yi in the secret to make a bad, Dong Yu into the Kou, in advance has been reminded by many ministers, as the first assistant dereliction of duty, sit back and watch the catastrophe happen, it is difficult to escape the liquidation, such a situation can only be put to death and then live, take our Shenjia battalion to fight, in case you go to recover Zunhua, this temple function makes him come back to life. Wang Wei said in a deep voice.

"In case someone else loses, damn it, this old fox. Wang Pu gritted his teeth and continued.

"You're going with some certainty. Wang Wei asked.

"I'm sure to take Zunhua, but I can't hold it, I can only travel lightly from a distance, and there will be a shortage of food in the city at that time. "

"Perhaps, it won't be encircled for too long, and the army of King Qin from all over the country has come one after another, and when the time comes, the captives will be enemies on all sides, and they may retreat. "Wang Wei is a little lucky, if Wang Pu makes this miraculous feat, the Wang family will be able to stand out among the wealthy families and get the incomparable favor of the Ming family, not to mention marrying the county lord, even the princess can also marry a few into the door, one for each of the brothers, similar to Guo Ziyi in the Tang Dynasty, so that the Wang family can also play a Ming Dynasty version of the drunken golden branch.

Although it was

wartime, the flow of people and traders in the city could still move around at will, and there were no soldiers guarding the streets and alleys to check the passers-by, which made Wang Pu have a bad premonition, the defense of the Beijing division was so lax, it can be seen that the Ming Dynasty has rotted to the roots, and even the simplest city defense can not be done well.

"With such laxity, there are probably a lot of people who have worked carefully, and we are afraid that our every move has already been discerned. Wang Pu smiled bitterly and said that many battles between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty were lost very strangely, so people must not suspect that there were traitors in the court.

"Are the owners worried that our surprise attack plan will be leaked? Lin Changxing asked.

"It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a military aircraft to leak secrets, but there is an old saying that if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate. Today's Da Ming is too unreliable, Zunhua is because there are captives in the city, it was easily broken, this surprise attack plan came from the cabinet, and there were about 100 people in the knowledge of the various ministries and celebrants, and it was hard to say whether anyone had secretly communicated with the captives. Wang Pu combined with the memory of later generations to guess that the Jin merchants and the Houjin dark trade goods, but he also colluded with the Jin merchants, and accepted a large number of gifts from others, the so-called soft mouth, for the Jin merchants had to turn a blind eye to the matter of the Jin merchants, Donglu can reach out to Shanxi, the penetration of the Ming Dynasty is so deep, there must be many eyes and ears in the capital.

The convoy of Wang Pu and his entourage stopped in front of the yamen of the military department, where there was a lot of grain and grass piled up in the open space, judging from the smell, it was old grain that had just been brought out of the warehouse, and it was slightly moldy. Wang Pu's face turned blue, and he said in his heart: Shouldn't this be the grain and grass that will be allocated to the Shenjia camp, aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will join him Wang Zaijin.

"Wang Temperance, please, Wang Butang has been waiting for a long time. When the military officer saw that Wang Pu was coming, he immediately led him into the main gate.

The more inside, Wang Pu's face is a little better, there are many good horses in the big yard, the coat is shiny, fat and strong, the sale is much better than the horse that Yang He gave him, the corner is full of grain and grass, the smell smells fresh, it is this year's new grain.

"Are these horses war horses? Wang Pu asked the little official leading the way in front of him.

"Hui Wang moderation, these are stagecoaches, just sent a few days ago, have not been trained, can not be a war horse, but the foot strength is stronger than ordinary horses, even if the transport of 100 catties of goods, a day of more than 100 miles is not a problem, this surprise attack Zunhua should naturally use this kind of horse, expensive in the speed. The little official replied very warmly.

"Ah, that's fine. Wang Pu heard that this little official knew the plan to attack Zunhua, and he casually poured out, his heart was mixed, and his mood was indescribable.

Entering the main hall, Wang Pu saluted, Wang Zaijin got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "This official has been busy since the time of the Chen, and his feet do not touch the ground, all in order to select five hundred high-quality horses for Wang Jie, and each horse carries two hundred catties of grain and grass. The captives are strong, and the enemy should be lenient. "

"Xie Wang Butang bothered, this kindness dare not be forgotten. Wang Pu was very moved, this Wang Zaijin can be said to be very helpful and friendly to him.

"Young men must not be reckless, and send more men to explore the way when marching. Wang Zaijin then whispered.

"Yes. Wang Pu was puzzled in his heart, what he said was abrupt.

"Beware of the ambush of the captives,

when Zhao Shujiao was halfway to Zunhua, he was ambushed, and the captives were able to ambush the elite horses who came and went like the wind, you have to be careful. Wang Zaijin said earnestly.

"Understood, Lord Xie Butang reminded. Wang Pu heard the voice-over, Wang Zaijin was worried that Zhao Shujiao's death was a cat, and it might not be just an isolated case.

"Also, you have to remember to stay away from the Guan Ning army, the Guan Ning army often kills friendly soldiers by mistake, if so, if they want to get close to you, turn around immediately. Wang Zaijin reminded a little mysteriously.

"Yes. Wang Pu was confused when he heard this, what the hell was it to kill friendly soldiers by mistake, could it be that Man Gui really died at the hands of Guan Ningjun. Zhao Xiao and others once told him that many people in the city were rumored that Yuan Chonghuan killed Man Gui, this kind of street rumor has never been shocking and endless, so Wang Pu didn't take it seriously, he just felt that this rumor was outrageous, the Guanning army supported the army and gradually became a feudal town, but the court raised four million taels of silver every year, and those turtle grandsons rebelled when they were sick in the brain, and overthrew Chongzhen, where to find the second such powerful unjust boss, Yuan Chonghuan is crazy, and if he wants to usurp the throne, he should think about how to rebel with Shanhaiguan, he has only been the governor of Jiliao for two years, and it is difficult to cultivate enough loyal and loyal cronies who swear to follow in such a short time, so that Guan Ningjun completely obeyed his orders.

Wang

Zaijin observed his words and looks, and knew that his words had made Wang Pu into his heart, and said in his heart: Boy, I have repaid you for saving your life, and we don't owe each other.

At this time, there was a commotion in the direction of the gate, it sounded like someone was quarreling, Wang Zaijin was a little annoyed, he was in a good mood today, and he was kind to his subordinates, and he opened a dyeing workshop with a little color for something that was not long-eyed.

Wang Pu couldn't help but be curious and followed behind.

Wang

Zaijin's subordinates were very considerate and took the lead in pushing aside the crowd, Wang Pu poked the heads of the people in front of him and saw a group of armored soldiers in the open space outside the door, who were angrily arguing with the military officials.
