Chapter 620: The Great Drama Begins
Yuan Chonghuan naturally agreed with Qin Shuhuai's opinion. After deciding on the decision, he immediately wrote a warrant as the governor of Liaodong and arranged it.
On the Huang Taiji side, after arriving at the Santun camp, he immediately launched a large army and relied on the terrain to deploy defenses.
He knew very well that the Ming army would not attack soon, but would adopt siege tactics. And what he lacks most now is food.
At such a time, he also completely tore off the mask of hypocrisy and ordered the soldiers to "levy food" with all their might!
The villages and towns near the Santun camp were hit by the seedlings. The Tartar soldiers and their guards went from house to house to collect grain almost in a "sweeping" manner. The principle of robbery is not to leave a grain of rice, not a grain of grain left, of course, in addition to grabbing grain, other valuable objects are also robbed, and they don't want to leave a way for those Han people to live.
Among them, the ** captivity is naturally endless, but at this point, from Huang Taiji to all Ezhen and Niu Lu, they have turned a blind eye.
Many villages were ransacked, and when the people saw that there was no way to live, and that they were all dead, they chose the fiercest resistance, killing and wounding a few Tartars. As you can imagine, they soon attracted a large-scale retaliation from the Tartars - the slaughter of the village.
A catastrophe allowed the Tartars to temporarily obtain a lot of food, but dozens of villages and county towns such as Panjiakou, Hanerzhuang, and Ligezhuang were empty!
Four or five days later, Zhao led an army of 50,000 troops into Qian'an, and the Ming army's encirclement of the Tatars was formally formed.
However, neither side dared to take the lead in the war. The reason is very simple, the two sides are evenly matched, and those who go deep into the enemy's territory first will inevitably suffer.
And no one can afford to lose.
A confrontation was formed.
In any case, after Qin Shuhuai's army arrived in Zunhua, the situation in Jizhen was finally effectively controlled. Although the two sides confronted each other, the Ming army had a steady supply of food, and the Tartars would eventually run out of food one day.
So Qin Shuhuai was not in a hurry, he waited for the Tartar dog to jump off the wall in a hurry.
Forbidden City, the Imperial Study.
Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief after receiving that the Tartars had cowered in the Santun camp.
He smiled and said to Sun Chengzong, "Teacher, Brother Qin has embarrassed Huang Taiji again! Hehe, Brother Qin is waiting for a decisive battle with Jiannu in Jizhen. Teacher, do you think it's okay to let Datong and Changping transfer another 20,000 elite soldiers?"
Sun Chengzong said, "Your Majesty, now the Demon Sect still occupies Gansu, although there has been no movement recently, but there are not many elites around the Jingshi, and the old minister thinks that it can no longer be adjusted." On the Jizhen side, since Marquis Qin did not ask the emperor for soldiers, he must be sure. ”
Chongzhen smiled slightly, "What the teacher said is right! Since Brother Qin doesn't ask me for soldiers, he must be sure! Brother Qin, Brother Qin, you have made a great contribution to me!"
In his opinion, when the battle is fought, Jiannu has no possibility of turning over.
Although even Qin Shuhuai didn't dare to make this kind of assertion, he thought so.
When Qin Shuhuai appeared on the map of Jizhen, the first thing he did when he got up every day was to wait for the Tang newspaper. The first Tang report he received was that Qin Shuhuai had annihilated 30,000 Tartars in Qian'an, and from then on he knew that he was sure that Brother Qin's performance was about to start again.
After that, he connected to Qin Shuhuai's Tang Bao to recapture Yongping, detour to Jizhou, take Shimen Village, and relieve the siege of Zunhua. By now, he had completely relaxed, as if a boulder that had been pressing him for months or even years had suddenly moved away from his body.
He does have a reason to be relaxed.
The Demon Cult raised troops, the three-sided chaos, and the Tartars pressed the realm, before these three mountains overwhelmed him, and the Ming Dynasty was shaky, and for a period of time he even dreamed every day that the enemy army attacked the Forbidden City, and he hanged himself.
Thinking about it now, he would still be scared out of a cold sweat by that dream that was too realistic.
But I resisted it! No, to be exact, it was I and Brother Qin who resisted together! Now that the three sides have basically been decided, the main force of the Demon Sect has collapsed, and Jiannu has retreated into the Santun camp, and the Ming Dynasty has come to his senses!
Brother Qin lives up to me!
I and Brother Qin met in danger and knew each other in a desperate situation, and the friendship and brotherhood of this monarch and ministers will be sung through the ages and be a model for generations!
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's face couldn't help but have a smile.
Since the Demon Sect started its army, Chongzhen has never smiled so comfortably. Originally, his face had always been abnormally white, but now it was a little ruddy.
Not only that, but his eyes finally brightened again, and he spoke with a full of energy.
Everyone can see this obvious change in Chongzhen!
"Your Majesty, Duke Cao and Commander Luo have arrived. "A eunuch came to report.
Chongzhen waved his big hand and said in high spirits, "Let them in!"
It didn't take long for Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing, who had haggard faces, to walk in. Although Cao Huachun was ready to resign, before Qin Shuhuai returned, he still promised to help Chongzhen continue to take charge of the East Factory.
After the two saluted, Chongzhen gave Cao Huachun a seat, and then asked, "How is Cao Sili's injury?
Cao Huachun said weakly, "Back to the emperor, it's better." Thank you for your concern. ”
Chongzhen nodded, and said, "By the way, what I told you last time, have you all arranged? ”
Luo Yangxing immediately said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this matter has been arranged." Thousands of households in various important places are all reliable talents selected from the capital. ”
Cao Huachun also said, "The ministers have also been arranged, so the emperor can rest assured." ”
......
Tianjin, Zuihualou.
On the main stage of the Drunken Flower Building, a storyteller was spitting and talking about the book, and the people below applauded.
The name of this book is "The Biography of the Traitor".
The protagonist of the first issue is the famous former governor of Zhejiang, Wang Huazhen!
From ancient times to the present, whether it is a bitch singing a song, a drama acting or a gentleman telling a story, at most it is the people of the previous dynasty, and no one dares to make fun of the officials of this dynasty.
Why? If you make a show of the officials of your own dynasty, aren't you arguing about the government and slandering the court?
This is the Ming Dynasty, you dare to talk nonsense, arrange the court members, really think that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are eating dry rice?
But it's also strange, this drunken flower building is bold, not only dare to say Wang Huazhen openly, but also afraid that others will not know, so he let the little guy go to the street to shout and solicit customers.
"Come on, come on, come and listen, the secret room of the governor of this dynasty!"
"Surprised! The governor of this dynasty actually accepted thirty-two concubines, and sang songs every night!"
"He reversed black and white to harm Zhongliang, and finally became the governor of this dynasty!
"He is the governor of this dynasty, why did he do things that kill people and kill people, and are inferior to beasts? Is it the degradation of morality or the distortion of human nature? And listen to the second episode of "The Legend of the Literary Traitor": The Yong General Army fought Shenyang City, and the governor did not dare to come out in fear of war!"
