Wu Mengming blushed on the wall with red ears and bowed down, a cool breeze shook his spirit, raised his hands and let out a long whiner outside the city, looking particularly relaxed, Chang Yu looked at him from the side and chuckled silently.

"It's expected to be difficult, but it's an unexpected gain" Wu Mengming couldn't hide his excitement, Chang Yu smiled: "Xungui is a personal essence and a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water and an iron rooster, how can it be so easy to take out silver from their pockets, but look at Lord Wu's look is enjoying it, although the silver is not easy to earn, this popularity and reputation are enough."

Wu Mengming laughed: "It's not a secret, I never thought that one day I would be so famous and praised by everyone."

He went bankrupt to donate money to the imperial court to resist the Tartars, called on the nobles of the capital to raise donations in his personal name, and even scolded the moths of those who ate the king's disloyalty to the king, and even led the people to come to the door to surround and force donations, and for a time the capital was in an uproar, and the people praised his righteousness, Ling Ran, loyal to the king, patriotic and not afraid of power...... It can be said that he has a great reputation and rave reviews, in addition to this, he naturally won the favor of Emperor Chongzhen, of course, his share is indispensable in the fundraising, which can be described as a triumph of fame and fortune.

"All the good things are fished by you, then do your best" Chang Yu smiled slightly, Wu Mengming's mood was difficult to calm down for a while, and the wine was even more excited, and he talked nonsense for a long time, saying that those nobles really didn't shed tears when they didn't see the coffin, Chang Yu interrupted him after listening for a while: "Tomorrow, the Tartar soldiers will besiege the city, and they can help you."

Wu Mengming snorted violently: "Tartar will come to the city tomorrow?" How can it be so fast...... Factory Governor, do you think the Tartars will come in?"

"It's impossible to get in, but you must let them fight, at least you have to make a look, otherwise you will make a p money, you also know that those nobles don't cry when they don't see the coffin, so let them see the coffin."

Wu Mengming sighed: "Are you sure that the Tartars will come to the city tomorrow?" ”

"Definitely! Ben Du has already smelled the smell of Dolgon" Chang Yu nodded slightly, his gaze drifted far to the north, the night was thick, and there was no starlight or clouds.

Shunyi County is more than 60 miles away from the capital, Dolgon even if there is a fox smell Chang Yu can not smell, but he has really come, in the evening Dolgon personally led more than 10,000 people to the south, in the distance from Shunyi County more than ten miles to rest when suddenly heard the report of Tanmalai, a large force of Ming troops appeared 20 miles away in the south, thousands of people hunted and killed Tanma.

As usual, Dorgon would either ignore it or send a force to fight, but since the defeat outside the gate, he has become cautious, after all, he is so old-fashioned, if he loses again, there is no hope of turning over, so he has to be careful.

It is said that the previous information said that the Ming court was empty in the Gyeonggi area, and after he entered the pass, thousands of Ming troops in Changping in the west were easily defeated by Azig and retreated to Changping City, while Tang Tong's men and horses went all the way from Jizhen to Pinggu to meet Nikan and Wakda to avoid fighting and retreat directly into the city.

So where did the Ming army from the south come from?

The Manchu Qing ambushed countless spies in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming court suppressed thieves in Baoding Mansion, and the empty intelligence of Gyeonggi was sent by these spies, and after he entered the customs on the second day, he learned that the Ming army in the south was hurrying back to King Qin.

So what is the origin of the Ming army twenty miles away, the defenders in the capital or the reinforcements from the south have arrived? Dolgon was unsure for a while, he had naturally heard of the urine sex of the Ming army in Beijing, and he was usually frightened of the Qing army, but at this time, he had the courage to go out of the city and run to confront him? And mostly infantry.

Only perennial field troops have this courage, such as Wu Sangui's Guanning Army, maybe the reinforcements led by the little eunuch returned to Beijing, but how could it be so fast!

Dolgon, who was uncertain, decided to test it, and when he was about to send Duoduo to lead 5,000 cavalry, he came to report that the Ming army had left, and it was observed that it should be the men and horses of the Beijing camp.

Exercise!

Dolgon gritted his teeth and regretted that he had hesitated and missed the opportunity to beat the Ming army, whether he had been a little too cautious and lost the fighter.

In addition to regret, he vented his anger in Shunyi County, and ordered the army to take it in one fell swoop before it was dark.

I thought it would be easy, and even self-defeating, but although there were only hundreds of defenders in Shunyi County, they did not surrender, and the people in the city went to the city to help in the battle.

Dolgon was furious, but he didn't want to waste the manager and time in a small broken city, so he ordered to plunder, but found that the surrounding villages and towns had already been empty, and he got very little, and he was unwilling to order the army to go south, and he wanted to Chen Bing under the capital of the Ming Emperor, wantonly plundering and humiliating the Ming court.

He had a good idea in advance, surrounded but not fought, if you go out of the city, I will beat you, if you don't come out, I will burn and plunder, when to have fun and when to leave, even if the Ming court reinforcements to him are not afraid, it is a big deal to leave, he doesn't believe that the Ming army dares to chase him, has he ever been beaten!

In this night of spring and summer communication, there are many people who can't sleep late at night, the little eunuchs in the imperial capital climb the city wall to blow the wind, and Dolgon in the north rides his horse and whips to march at night.

Hundreds of miles away in the county seat of Shunde Prefecture, Gao Jie is drinking with Liu Zeqing, at least on the surface, it seems to be so, but in fact it is close to tension, what is the so-called?

It's nothing more than an uneven distribution of spoils.

It is said that late the night before yesterday, Li Zicheng gathered an army and decided to forcibly break through the pass and rush the card, Gao Jie met the battle with more than 10,000 troops, the troops were not superior, but the morale and physical strength were not comparable to the thief army, and more importantly, he gambled that the reinforcements would come soon, even if he did not come, he could leave calmly.

The two armies fought a bloody battle on the bank of the Li River, the sky and the earth were discolored and the light of the stars and the moon was not seen, after half a pillar of incense, Gao Jie's troops were about to retreat, and suddenly heard the sound of killing in the north, Liu Zeqing and Li Chengdong led men and horses to kill, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, and Gao Jie, who wanted to retreat, gritted his teeth and fought again.

Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie's two divisions of about 30,000 men and horses are slightly inferior to the thief army, and they are exhausted from the pursuit all the way and are not at the peak, but they actually fight with the thief army, mainly because the thief army is in turmoil in the complex environment of front and rear flanking and night battles, and has no intention of fighting.

But the officers and soldiers are different, although they are tired, they are full of fighting spirit, and the reason is very good, these two people are not good people, rushing to kill people and goods, and they all know that if the thief army is defeated in this battle, they will make a fortune and climb to the peak of life.

However, the thief army is also a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, knowing that if you don't kill a bloody road, you will be killed, relying on the strength advantage of the fierce battle for nearly half an hour, and finally broke the card and couldn't escape, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing led the troops to chase out of a few miles and finally gave up after exhaustion, in fact, both of them paid attention, after all, the thief army left a lot of baggage, and had to go back to harvest quickly.

The thief army is far away, and the two who were fighting side by side just now are about to turn their faces, Gao Jie said that Lao Tzu has been fighting hard for many days and naturally takes the big head, Liu Zeqing rolled his eyes and disagreed, Lao Tzu chased down all the way from Zhending Mansion non-stop, how hard it was to chase and fight, if it wasn't for this coming to help, you would have escaped with your tail in your hand, and there was no hair, of course, I took the big head.

Gao Jie scolded, if Lao Tzu doesn't stop you from chasing after you, it is estimated that the horse's butt will not be able to touch it now, and besides, the reinforcements are not your full strength, and there is still the merit of his subordinate general Li Chengdong, you are shameless and take all of yourself.

The two of them are not good at stubble, they don't give in to each other and confront each other until dawn, and both sides are tired and can't support it, so they each take a step back and transport what they have to Ren County to rest and recuperate.

When he was resting in Ren County, Gao Jie did not forget Li Zicheng, and said that he was going to beat the water dogs on personal grievances, and it was best to kill them.

So he ordered his subordinate Liu Cheng to lead 3,000 cavalry to keep an eye on the thief army, and ordered the soldiers and horses in Fucheng to go south to chase the thief, as for him and Liu Zeqing, they slept soundly in the city for a day and a night, and then began to argue.

Harmony is a win-win situation, and a score is a lose-lose situation, Liu Zeqing is old and calculating, and finally took a step back, Gao Jie's previous income belongs to him, and the two people obtained the night before are equally divided, and then go south side by side to chase the enemy, work together to chase the thief, and the income is equally divided.

Gao Jie thought about it and felt that he was reasonable, there were fifty or sixty thousand horses at this time, and the two of them were not their opponents alone, but although they couldn't swallow the thief army at once after joining forces, they couldn't bite to death, and they could bite a lot of bites by the Yellow River.

After reaching a consensus, the two were about to dispatch troops to chase the thief, but at this time, a soldier came to report and captured a big person, Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin (history mistakenly called his eldest brother Zhu Cunshu).

How could Zhu Cunji be in the army of thieves?

Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing looked confused, but in fact, they didn't know that when Li Zicheng captured Xi'an, the King of Qin surrendered, and Li Zicheng wooed him and did not harm him, but named him a general.

General Quan is the highest rank in the thief army, and he is the first person under the thief, such as Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin, it can be seen that he also invested in order to win over the King of Qin and stabilize the hearts of the people in Xi'an.

In history, Li Zicheng ordered the king of Qin to accompany him on his eastern expedition, and then fled from Beijing in Shanhaiguan and killed Zhu Cunji on the way.

After all, it was the vassal king, Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed the good students into the city to entertain them, and asked people to report to Beijing how to deal with it.
