Your own destiny can only be controlled by yourself, and you cannot be controlled by others.

A modern person does not have the foolish loyalty that the emperor and the prince of the Zhu family would have to die if Huang Han had not appeared, and they would almost have been killed by the rogues and Jiannu.

If they don't know how to advance and retreat, Huang Han takes a series of measures without guilt, at least Huang Han will not be so mad that he will definitely take the lives of Chongzhen and his family and the princes of the Zhu family.

Moreover, Chongzhen was inescapable of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and in his seventeen years of reign, he killed seven governors, eleven governors, replaced fifty cabinet members, nineteen cabinet chiefs, eleven criminal department secretaries, and fourteen military department secretaries.

How to maintain the continuity of the political program with the constant rotation of important officials in the imperial court?

From ancient times to the present, as long as the government and units that often change the main person in charge, they are all superficial, and who can do things with peace of mind when everyone is in danger?

Moreover, Chongzhen also set a record of the emperors of the past dynasties killing the feudal officials, which made it common to figure out the holy will, and made the ministers tremble, resulting in the fear that things would not be done well, so Chongzhen fell into the reputation of being the most diligent government.

The reason is very simple, while he is not worried about the ministers' work, the ministers are also afraid to perform their duties because they are worried that the emperor will not be satisfied, and the emperor will watch and handle it.

Under such an emperor, Huang Han will definitely die if he does not seek self-preservation, at most after his death, due to the worsening of state affairs, the regretful Emperor Chongzhen will give Zhaoxue and posthumously crown.

Huang Han is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and the two representative warlords Zu Dashou and Zuo Liangyu were able to live well under Chongzhen and become the general of the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Sangui was able to mix with Ping Xibo, and he had a large number of troops in his hands that had been exhausted by the Ming Dynasty, and deliberately stayed in Shanhaiguan when the Ming Dynasty was in danger to sit and watch the Ming Dynasty, the pseudo-Dashun, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty play a three-party game to wait for the price to be sold, and finally bet on the Jiannu side.

Now Huang Han's "Red Flag Army" is strong and strong, and its strength is far greater than that of Zuo Liangyu and Wu Sangui in Chongzhen's seventeenth year.

The "Red Flag Army" deliberately did not know with a talented and courageous Tang King, and the pressure brought to Chongzhen can be seen.

The Ming army rejoiced at the victory of the Yellow River Blockade, and Liu Zhilun promptly dispatched 600 li to urgently inform Hong Chengchou of the results of the battle, trying to motivate the Ming army deployed in Yansui Town to intercept the defeated and fleeing Qing army.

Liu Zhilun was overjoyed to learn that the few seed troops left by the general had actually taken root and sprouted when he entered the interior three years ago to suppress the invaders, and now they were able to take the initiative to attack thousands of Qing troops.

He met with Zhao Kun, Gu Zhun, Gu Rushan, Pei Daneng and dozens of generals, and said on the spot that he would truthfully show their exploits and ask the court for rewards for them.

Several of Zhao Kun's senior generals were all Chongzhen's three years of following Huang Han's starting team, and Liu Zhilun was also an old acquaintance, Liu Zhilun invited them to join forces to continue to pursue the remnants of the enemy westward, and Zhao Kun readily agreed.

Although there were many Qing soldiers and horses who fled, they were sleepy and lacking horses, the reason was, of course, that there was no spare horse to transfer, and they had to dismount and walk frequently to restore the strength of the horses.

Another situation was even worse, the Qing army without exception carried as much gold and silver treasures and valuables as possible, and did not carry much food and horse material.

The long way to escape is still close to 2,000 miles, and the Qing army has to collect food on the spot to meet the needs of survival, but it is a pity that even if the people in this area have surplus food at home, it is limited, and it is not easy to meet the needs of 20,000 or 30,000 Qing soldiers.

Therefore, even if all the fleeing Qing troops had horses, they couldn't get up fast, and the bad Liu Zhilun began a big trick in order to motivate the soldiers to pursue the Qing army with the undead energy of Chongzhen for three years.

At that time, Liu Zhilun only had a group of rotten soldiers like Huazi in his hands, but after listening to Huang Han's description of a number of gold and silver treasures in Zunhua City, he guaranteed that everyone in Zunhua City could get no less than thirty taels of silver.

More than 10,000 rotten soldiers ran more than 100 miles a day with their legs, and dozens of people died on the road.

Liu Zhilun learned from Huang Han to analyze the soldiers, and the average value of the gold and silver treasures carried by an escaped Qing army would not be less than two hundred taels of silver, plus a war horse and a suit of armor.

The Qing army that fled was conservatively estimated to be between 20,000 and 30,000, which means that there may be several million taels of silver there, depending on how much you can intercept.

Liu Zhilun made a high-profile statement that only a small half of the capture obtained from the pursuit of the Qing army should be handed over to the imperial court, and the rest would be counted as a reward for the soldiers, and he would bear the blame from the imperial court at that time.

Fang Zhenghua is a minister of the Son of Heaven, and he also opened his mouth to endorse Liu Zhilun's promise, and said in a high-profile manner that as long as he can attack and kill more Qing troops, the Son of Heaven will definitely give generous gifts to the generals who fought bravely, not only to get gold and silver, but also to be promoted.

Tens of thousands of Ming troops settle accounts, if a small banner brothers catch up with a Qing army to grab horses and grab gold and silver and succeed, everyone can share more than ten or twenty taels of silver.

If you get the decapitation skill, you can not only get a silver reward, but also be promoted to a higher level.

Today's Qing army is no longer the legendary "invincible." In the Yellow River Blockade Battle, the Ming army had already attacked the Qing army, which had 30,000 or 40,000 people, and won.

The self-confidence of the Ming army, which had been restored, was excited, and a large amount of grain had been captured, and everyone was more energetic and energetic, and they were all marching forward.

Zhao Kun and Gu Zhun and others led the "Red Banner Army", of course, outpaced the Ming army, and the 2,000 wheelbarrows carried by the army were full of food and supplies.

The "Red Flag Army" does not forget its original intention, and does not forget to give porridge to help the hungry while killing the enemy, and will propagate all the way along the way, calling on the common people not to be thieves, and they can find the "Red Flag Army" if they can't survive.

It is impossible for the defeated Qing army to always take the frozen course of the Yellow River, because this is simply unrealistic, and the Yellow River is so different that as long as there is a waterfall in front of it that reaches or exceeds a foot high and becomes an ice wall, it will be declared impassable.

Ah Shan and Fan Wencheng both knew that they had to lead their men and horses out of the Yellow River on the march, and they found a place to go ashore in Jiyuan County, Huaiqing Prefecture.

More than 20,000 Qing troops fled all the way and robbed all the way, during which people and horses were constantly left behind, at first because the horses were injured by the Ming army's artillery fire, and gradually there were too hungry and tired to fall behind.

The pursuing Ming army captured every day, although sometimes there were only a few or dozens of levels, and it was rare to kill hundreds of enemies.

However, the gold and silver treasures found from the Qing army were enough to prove that what Liu Zhilun said was reliable, and every Qing army carried a large amount of property with him, which was really worth no less than two hundred taels of silver.

Killing a Qing army can have such a big gain inspired all the Ming cavalry, and every day there will be a small-scale chase battle, and there are many lonely heroes in the Ming army.
