When the guards entered Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen was angry in the Qianqing Palace, and he was only confused... The news came that the main army of Dol Decline broke through Jinan, Zhu Youshu, the king of Germany, Zhu Ensheng, the general of Fengguo, and other cities were captured, and all the people in the city were taken captive! Emperor Chongzhen took Jie Wen tremblingly, and he read the song over and over again, and he was also out of breath.

"This, this," by the way, quickly send Yang Aiqing over to see the couplet. ”

After Wang Dehua ran away, Emperor Chongzhen grabbed Jiewen and walked back and forth in the pavilion, fidgeting.

Soon, Yang Sichang hurried over.

Just now he went to the military department to personally meet those Xuanda people who reported success, and after hearing that the emperor had summoned him, he hurried to come again.

He gave the emperor a verbal salute, and Emperor Chongzhen asked him to get up and speak, and rewarded him with a chair to sit on.

When Yang Sichang, Emperor Chongzhen was unconditionally trusted, and the Qing army broke through Jinan, in fact, Yang Sichang made a mistake.

It was he who judged that Dezhou was the way for the Qing army to go south, and sent Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, to lead his troops to defend it, and as a result, the Qing army bypassed Dezhou and went straight to the city of Jinan from Linqing to the Huitong River.

At that time, there were 500 township soldiers in Jinan City, and 700 reinforcements from Xiaolaizhou, although the defenders refused to fight to the death.

However, under the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers, the city soon fell, and many people were killed in the street fighting, and finally the king and the people were captured.

But even so, Emperor Chongzhen's trust in Yang Sichang's favor has not changed in the slightest, which makes Yang Sichang grateful and more respectful in front of the emperor.

After seeing Yang Sichang sit down, Emperor Chongzhen handed the Xuanda victory report to Yang Sichang, and said anxiously: "Aiqing thinks that Xuanda Jiewen is true?" Yang Sichang's mind was racing, in fact, when the first wave of Xuanda Baojie personnel came, he went to the military department and personally entertained those Xuanjie knights, and he got far more information than Emperor Chongzhen.

This battle Xuan army was also unexpected, so there was such a victory.

Anyway, next time Aiqing can't be like this! Yang Sichang burst into tears: "The emperor is kind and magnanimous, and the ministers are grateful." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied, and Yang Sichang was talented.

actually commanded the Xuan army to make such a miraculous feat, he said: "The three generals have made great contributions, according to Qing's opinion, how to praise them?" Yang Lichang said: "The three generals have made miraculous achievements, and they need to be encouraged by their good lives, so that they can make new contributions to the emperor!" He said: "However, the good news has arrived, and the military merits have not been verified, and Weichen thinks that it needs to be carefully verified before making a decision." ”

He said: "The minister is willing to ask for his own life to go to Zhuozhou to test his merits and encourage the army." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was a little reluctant to let Yang Sichang leave Beijing, but seeing that he was full of enthusiasm, he still nodded and said: "It's okay, Qing will go out of Beijing, and he will be a meritorious general on behalf of the Son of Heaven." ”

Yang Lichang came out respectfully, walked far away, and heard the cheerful laughter of the emperor in the cabinet.

When he returned to the cabinet, several cabinet ministers were also discussing, and Yang Sichang could see everyone's secret thoughts.

He summoned a confidant official and whispered: "You go to Tianjin, let Chen Xinjia go to Zhuozhou quickly, if he wants to enter the cabinet in the future, let him be more attentive." ”

On the 17th day of the first month of the 12th year of Chongzhen, Tianjin.

At this time, Tianjin, not to mention the city, was from the west bank of the canal to the Jinghai area, densely covered with Ming military tents.

Chen Xinjia's Xuanda army of more than 14,000 people, as well as tens of thousands of people of the Ning army, and some local soldiers and horses, all gathered here, forming a seemingly endless banner and camp.

Now these soldiers and horses are all under the control of Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanda, and Tianjin originally had Liu Yuliang, a cabinet assistant, as an inspector.

In the Guanning camp, several general soldiers also urgently discussed in the camp tent of the Shanhaiguan General Soldier Ma Ke, and their conclusions were also unbelievable, and they all thought that the prisoners of the Xuanda army were too exaggerated, and they were afraid that it would be difficult to clean up in the future.

In their words, they all have the meaning of schadenfreude.

During the battle of Julu, they did not save when they saw death, but they did not have the slightest sense of guilt, and after their defeat, they blamed the Xuan army for not supporting them, and they were deeply resentful in their hearts.

In the future, you can see Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and others suffer a little, and they are all happy.

After the general soldiers dispersed, Wang Tingchen, the former commander of the guard, called Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Yutian: "General Cao, do you think the report of General Yang and others is true?" Cao Bianjiao said: "I think" He shook his head, but finally did not give a conclusion.

However, everyone in the camp of the Ming army in Tianjin was spreading whispers, and this commotion reached its peak after the envoys of the Beijing division rushed into Chen Xinjia's camp, and soon the generals heard the rapid drum beat of the general in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the officers and soldiers were still preaching: "Governor Chen's town standard camp seems to be pulling out the camp." ”

Cao Bianjiao and the others looked at each other: "Could it be Yang Guozhu."

Is it true that Wang Dou and others won a great victory? "Lao Bai Niu: Regarding the amount of gold and silver looted by the Qing soldiers, Lao Niu wrote it according to historical materials, but now I am wrong.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen: more than 4,000 taels of gold and more than 970,000 taels of silver.

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers plundered more than 12,200 taels of gold and more than 2,250,000 taels of silver.

I wrote more about the number of gold and silver captured by the Qing soldiers in Zhuozhou and Tongzhou, but considering that the Qing soldiers had the habit of hiding the spoils of war privately, the total amount of gold and silver lost by the Ming Dynasty this time should be these.
