"This official can transfer another batch of grain to you, and allocate a sum of money to you to support you in completing the reclamation of wasteland and this year's spring ploughing."
Li Zixiao looked at Huo and Liu in front of him, with a sneer on his face, and said.
"Is this true?" Huo Changzheng said excitedly.
"Do you think this officer is joking? Remember, this is the last money you can get from your ruler.
When the summer harvest is over, you two will be self-sufficient, and I will not give you another penny of grain. ”
"On behalf of the military households, thank you for your great kindness." Huo and Liu knelt down and shouted.
Li Zixiao looked at the two of them coldly, of course he would not be deceived by their showmanship.
If these two people really cared about the lives and deaths of their military households, they would not have withheld food and caused so many military soldiers to flee and starve to death.
Moreover, this time Li Zixiao allocated the grain and silver, he didn't plan to hand it over to these two people, he would hand it over to someone to be responsible.
"Okay, you go down and prepare, I'll have someone allocate a sum of food over later, and distribute it to those military households, so that they can eat and prepare to start work."
Li Zixiao waved his hand at the two of them, signaling them to step down.
"Retire from your duties." The two left.
"Hmph, wine bag and rice bag, if the situation didn't allow it, Lao Tzu would have slaughtered you a long time ago." After Huo and Liu left, Li Zixiao snorted coldly and said in a cold voice.
"Don't worry, adults, this time the adults have almost cut half of the power of the two of them, it's not a matter of worry, when the time is ripe in the future, just kick them out again."
At this time, Li Yan stood behind and said with a smile.
According to what Li Zixiao discussed with Li Yan before, in the future, the military household system of the Ming Dynasty will be gradually abolished.
Fortunately, Huo Changzheng and Liu Guoping are more knowledgeable.
In the face of Li Zixiao's almost cut this time, more than half of the power in the hands of the two of them was only responsible for leading the military households to reclaim wasteland.
These two people accepted it without complaint, which made Li Zixiao disappointed for a while.
He hoped that the two of them would resist and that he would find a valid reason to remove the two of them.
"Li Yan, later, you will allocate a sum of food, send it to the two Davids, and distribute it to those military households, don't take the hands of Huo and Liu." Li Zixiao commanded Li Yan.
"Yes, sir."
And when Li Zixiao was busy with the trivial matters in Xuzhou, at this time, his name was also spread all over the north and south of the Ming Dynasty because of the rewards and awards of the imperial court.
Even, under the instruction of Chongzhen, Li Zixiao's record of defeating Tartar several times was also exposed, and many young talents of the Ming Dynasty were thinking about coming over to Li Zixiao.
made Li Zixiao's reputation soar, especially the young talents in Xuzhou, there were many people who defected to Li Zixiao in the past two days, and Li Zixiao asked Qian Guangyuan to accept it and assess it.
………………………………………………
In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, on April 13, the capital of the Qing Dynasty was Shengjing.
In the imperial palace in the center of Shengjing, this is the residence of the Tartar Emperor.
This imperial palace, built by the Tartars, is very Manchu and Mongolian, the architectural characteristics of "the palace is high and the palace is low".
In the palace, the gold, silver and jewelry snatched from the customs by the Tartar soldiers were richly decorated, jeweled, and extremely luxurious, which was in stark contrast with the simple Chongzhen at this time.
Since Nurhachi's death, his sons have gone through a battle between swords and swords, and finally Nurhachi's eighth son, Huang Taiji, has become the new owner of this palace.
Nearly a month has passed since the Tartar army entered the pass and plundered and returned.
Today, Huang Taiji summoned the civil and military ministers of the Tartars to gather in the Chongzheng Hall to discuss government affairs.
Participating in this deliberation were not only Prince Lishan Daishan, King Azig of Yingwu County, General Yangwu Yue Tuo, Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Yu Duoduo, Crown Prince Hauge, and Rao Yu Belle Abatai.
There are also university Shi Ning Wan me, Fan Wencheng, Ma Guozhu and other traitors, and most of the high-level leaders of the Tartars have all arrived.
At this time, a middle-aged man about forty years old and wearing a bright yellow dragon robe was standing on the main hall, glaring angrily at Dolgon and Duoduo in the audience, and his angry voice echoed in the main hall.
"Dolgon, Dordor, you two are also veterans of the army, how could you make such a big mistake.
This time, we lost so many men and horses in the south, more than 10,000 warriors of our Great Qing Kingdom, including more than 4,000 of our Eight Banners.
How many 4,000 people do we have in the Eight Banners for you to squander like this, and how long will it take for these more than 4,000 warriors to be replenished?
I remember that the last time we entered the customs to loot, we only lost more than 2,000 people in total, and our Eight Banners only lost 4 or 500 people.
But this time, how do you plan to explain to me? Don't think that if you come back with something, I will forgive you, don't think! ”
This roaring middle-aged man was none other than the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom of the Tartars at this time, Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji's voice shook the entire hall and buzzed, and all the people who entered were silent, hanging their heads and not daring to speak.
Dolgon and Duoduo were even more blushing throughout the whole process, and this time they did not say anything to refute Huang Taiji, and Hauge, the Prince of Su on the side, also sneered when he saw Huang Taiji reprimanding Dorgon.
Azig, the king of Yingwujun, looked at the big Bel Daishan on the side and found that he was still standing in place, without meaning to make a sound.
Azig sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that Daishan would not come forward to intercede with Wei Dolgon, so he had to stand up and surrender to Huang Taiji.
said: "Your Majesty, the fourteenth brother led the troops into the customs this time, although they lost a lot of people and horses, but they were able to recover tens of thousands of Ming people, as well as so much grain, grass and property, it was not in vain."
What's more, what came out this time was a very alternative general of the Ming Kingdom, and it was an elite that was different from the previous Ming army, and the fourteenth brother didn't expect it in advance. ”
Huang Taiji's eyelids rolled, and his cold eyes shot at Azig like lightning, and asked in a cold voice: "So, do you think that the entry of the fourteenth brother and his party into the customs is not only without fault, but also meritorious?" ”
Azig was swept away by Huang Taiji's cold eyes, and he felt as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast, and his heart suddenly sank.
When Azig interceded for Dorgon, he was already dissatisfied with the Emperor, but before the meeting, Dolgon approached him and promised him many benefits.
It can be said that in order to win over Azig, Dolgon can be said to have invested enough money, and gave half of the spoils of their two white flags to Azig for their raid this time.
It is precisely because of this that Azig dared to intercede for Dolgon at this time.
Azig hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Brother Chen doesn't dare, Brother Chen just thinks that although Brother Fourteen is wrong, Brother Fourteen and we are our own brothers after all, so Brother Chen thinks it's better to be light." ”
Huang Taiji sneered: "Hmph, if I hadn't remembered that they were my own brothers, do you think I would have let them stand here?"
I have long since stripped them of their titles and reduced them to commoners.
The reason why I scolded them was to make them remember that every warrior of our Great Qing Kingdom is the most precious treasure of our Great Qing Dynasty. ”
At this time, although Dolgon was unhappy in his heart, he still bowed his head respectfully on the surface, and accepted Huang Taiji's reprimand, who let him really leave the handle for Huang Taiji to catch this time.
Huang Taiji wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of his and Duoduo's two white flags, and it was not a day or two for a long time, and Dolgon had always known about it.
Huang Taiji will never let go of this rare opportunity, and what Dolgon can do now is to keep his position as much as possible with the two white flag masters.
They will definitely have to pay a lot of price for this, but there is nothing they can do.
After a long time, after Huang Taiji's reprimand, he calmly said to Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge, and even Abatai and others: "Although you have lost troops and lost troops in this entry, in view of the fact that you can still recapture a lot of people, livestock and grain for my Qing Dynasty.
If you commit it again next time, you will be punished for both crimes, and your share of the property you have plundered this time will be halved, and you can accept it? ”
Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon, who had always been arrogant, and this time he was honestly trained by him, and he was quite happy in his heart, but he was too late, he knew that it would be enough to beat it properly.
Huang Taiji really wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the two white flags, Dolgon and Duoduo, but he also knew that it was impossible to pull the two brothers off the horse at once, once they forced Dolgon, it would be very troublesome.
Dolgon was also relieved when he heard Huang Taiji's final punishment for them, but he also understood that this time their two white flags could be said to have lost their wives and broken their soldiers.
Not to mention the thousands of casualties paid for entering the customs and looting, now Huang Taiji has cut their general booty with a word. 、
Afterwards, he still needed to give half of the loot to Azig, so that they could get the two white flags, which was pitiful.
Although Dolgon scolded in his heart, he could only say in unison: "Your Majesty is fair, and the younger brother has no objections." ”
"We have no objection to waiting." Duoduo, Abatai, Haug and others also spoke.
"Hmmm! Well, that's the end of this matter for now. ”
Huang Taiji nodded, the purpose of weakening the two white flags has been achieved, but the two yellow flags under his command will be the biggest beneficiaries of this entry and looting.
He asked again: "Now you can tell me about the course of this battle, especially the new bird team led by the general of the Ming army named Li Zixiao."
According to the previous report submitted by Dolgon, the first to suffer at the hands of this person were the men and horses with blue flags under Abatai and Hauge.
Later, Abatai encountered this person again in Shunde, and he still suffered a big loss.
Abatai, you are also our famous Baturu in Manchuria, why did you lose twice in the hands of the same enemy this time, and you still suffered such a big loss? ”
Abatai said with a bitter face: "Back to Your Majesty, this time the minister first led the troops south with Haoge, and went south to take Baoding Mansion, and everything was originally going well.
Who knows, out of nowhere, a Ming army appeared out of nowhere, and actually ate the 3,000 open road troops we sent out in one go.
Subsequently, this team disappeared until a month later, when Weichen captured Shunde, he ran into this team again.
Weichen wanted to avenge the last time and take Shunde by the way, but he never expected that more than 7,000 people under my command failed to take Shunde.
It's really the opponent's firearms, too sharp, their bird guns can break through the double heavy armor of our foot soldiers at fifty paces......"
In this way, Abatai turned out to be how he folded his wings under the city of Shunde Mansion.
Later, in Jiazhuang, he was attacked by Li Zixiao again, and the heavy casualties caused by the fierce battle were carefully told.
Huang Taiji didn't let Dolgon tell it, nor did he let Hauge and Yue Tuo tell about the battle, so he chose Abatai, because Huang Taiji knew that Abatai had the least reason to lie.
After listening to Abatai's narration, the expressions of the many Manchu princes, Baylor, and ministers present also became strange.
More than 7,000 Tartars were unable to capture a city defended by only three or four thousand Ming troops, and they wiped out more than 2,000 people.
If it weren't for the fact that all the Tartar teams had suffered big losses in the hands of Li Zixiao this time, Abatai would definitely be ridiculed by others when he said this.
But now, Abatai's words have attracted the real attention of Huang Taiji, and even his fourteenth brother, who is brave and good at fighting, has suffered a big loss in the hands of this person, which shows that he knows that Li Zixiao is by no means simple.
But at this time, some people still stood up and questioned that this person was Dai Shan.
Dai Shan said: "Seventh brother, aren't you telling a joke, we haven't seen the firearms of the Ming Army, but those firearms, in addition to scaring people, what else can we do?" ”
The anger on Abatai's face flashed, and Dai Shan relied on his status as a big beyler, coupled with his close support to Huang Taiji, and never looked at him, the younger brother of the concubine.
Abatai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "If Prince Li doesn't believe me, Dolgon, Dordor, Hauge, they are all here, you can ask them if I am lying." ”
Everyone's eyes moved to Haoge, only to see that Haoge also had a calm face, nodded and said, "What Uncle Seven said is not wrong, it is true." ”
"Hiss......"
Everyone gasped, which means that what Abbatei just said turned out to be true, and how could this be accepted by the arrogant Tartars!
At this time, even Huang Taiji's face began to become solemn.
He asked slowly, "Where did this Li Zixiao come from?" How could there be so many people in the Ming army under his command? I remember, isn't it true that a small guerrilla in the Ming Kingdom can only control two or three thousand troops? ”
Huang Taiji also discovered this anomaly.
Hearing Huang Taiji ask this, Dolgon below clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, really because he was miserable by Qi Wei.
Qi Wei made up a big lie, saying that Li Zixiao was what Chongzhen formed a secret new army, and he said it clearly, and he took the Tartars to fight a few small battles with the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
After they returned to Guanwai, through their undercover spies buried in Mingguo, they learned Li Zixiao's true identity.
This made Dolgon, who had always been conceited, unable to accept that he had been tricked.
At this time, it was not Huang Taiji who hated Li Zixiao the most, but the two brothers Duoduo and Dorgon.
In their hearts, the two of them had secretly sworn that sooner or later they would cut Li Zixiao with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in their hearts.
