Chapter 431: Retreat

The happy victory was a happy one, but unexpectedly, something like this suddenly happened.

The nine sides of the head? This word has a considerable weight.

When it comes to the nine sides of the propaganda, we have to talk about Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi and the nine sides of the propaganda are complicated. It involves party struggles, conflicts between the Donglin Party and the Wei Party, rather than just a sentence that can be easily said.

The frames of the nine sides of the propaganda were surrounded by the nine sides, so that the ministers present could not fall into deep thought. Didn’t the emperor say before that he would not mention the Wei Party anymore? Why did he mention the nine sides of the propaganda again? This nine sides of the propaganda would definitely involve the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Wei Party, involving party struggles. Isn’t this the old thing to mention again? The ministers in the hall bowed their heads, looked sideways, and thought, whether the emperor’s words had any special meaning and whether they represented a certain direction.

For a moment, the court became suspicious. The ministers all started to associate the nine sides of the rumor.

In fact, Yang Jing did not know much about the nine sides of the propaganda. He probably felt that Xiong Tingbi was indeed a bit unfair to the nine sides of the propaganda, but Wang Huazhen, who failed to command the battle, was not so miserable. Speaking of which, Yang Jing felt a little sympathetic to Xiong Tingbi. Even if he should be killed, he would not be able to reach this level. Yang Jing’s real meaning was to establish his authority and establish his military authority through the propaganda. He lays the foundation for his future actions. That’s all. As for his words, the ministers were full of thoughts, which was unexpected.

The suspicion in the court became more and more serious, and the more suspicious the ministers were, the less they dared to express their opinions easily, for fear that this would be a huge vortex. Whether it was a self-protection or a formality, no one would express anything to this matter, as if this matter had never happened before.

Yang Jingwei was waiting for the ministers to oppose him in a crazy way, but he did not expect that the court officials had such an expression, as if the nine sides of the priest were secretive forbidden areas.

Yang Jie was a little surprised by this kind of scene. The many remarks he had thought were not useful.

"Since you all don't object, then the Ministry of War and the Censorate will send personnel to inspect the head. After the inspection, reward the merits and then transfer the head to the border and pass the head to the nine sides to comfort the soldiers who died and to comfort the people who died..." Yang Jingwei originally thought there would be a fight, but he did not expect it to pass easily, so he simply gave an order, and even if this matter was over.

...

The news in the court came out, cheering all over the city and the whole country was excited. The streets and alleys were full of people who were rushing to tell each other. Compared with the Jinning victory a few years ago, this time it was a real victory, and it was even more beautiful, and the head would not lie.

The news also reached a yard in the capital.

"Uncle Xu, do this matter seriously?" A young man trembled and looked at an old man in his fifties with tears in his eyes.

The old man was also full of joy, and his eyes revealed joy, saying, "It's not wrong. The news that just came from the palace, Your Majesty seems to have sympathy for your father's affairs. This matter has been loosened. Nephew, this is a great thing. When I am about to submit another memorial tomorrow, I believe that this time it will definitely wash away the grievances for your father. Even if it cannot wash away the grievances, at least, you can bury your father's head. This is a good thing no matter what!" The old man was quite happy and became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Then there is Uncle Lau. My nephew has nothing to say to Uncle Xie, so he can only kowtow to his uncle..." After the young man said that, he kowtowed a few times on the ground, his eyes were already full of tears.

"Oh, nephew, why are you doing this? Don't worry, I just don't want to use this official uniform..."

Zhenjiang Castle.

Since the Ming Dynasty transported supplies to Zhenjiang Fort, the war has quietly stopped.

Huang Taiji has been awake for several days and his health has gradually recovered.

"...In other words, I, Dajin, are not leaving now, nor are I not leaving?" In recent days, Huang Taiji has not made a decision on the question of whether Dajin will stay or not.

"Return to Da Khan, yes, if you leave, the battle at Zhenjiang Fort will be completely defeated by my Da Jin, and I will lose extremely badly. In the future, Mao Wenlong will be my Da Jin's lingering nightmare and an insurmountable mountain. This will be extremely unfavorable to my Da Jin, but it will not work if I don't leave..." Fan Wencheng and several other confidants were in the Khan tent and discussed with Huang Taiji about the stay or stay of the Later Jin.

"Xiantai continued," Huang Taiji said.

"Khan, it's already late October. It's snowing in the northern part of the Mokha area. It won't take long before the whole of Liaodong will be covered with heavy snow. Khan, if he doesn't leave, he will probably be trapped here, and it will be more difficult to transfer food and grass. The army is away for many years, Khan... Shengjing can't support it anymore and is already complaining. If the army stays in Zhenjiang Fort for winter, I'm afraid..." Fan Wencheng began to analyze the situation in all aspects for Huang Taiji.

"Well..." Huang Taijizhi nodded, and didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and thought deeply. He knew that the army stayed in Zhenjiang Fort for winter. Huang Taiji had thought about this idea. Huang Taiji was a little moved before, but now he no longer thought about it.

"Khan, now the news came from the Kalaqin grassland. The Ming Dynasty sent Man Gui to kill those tribes that had connections with our Dajin in Kalaqin. It has besieged many tribes. Many tribes that originally planned to surrender to our Dajin were either strangled by Man Gui or surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and became the Imperial Army..." At this point, Fan Wencheng stopped and looked at Huang Taiji. Seeing that Huang Taiji was still listening, he continued.

"It is said that Man Gui was responsible for suppressing the Imperial Army in the Ming Dynasty and supervising the Imperial Army. He did not participate in the war. He only took action when the Imperial Army could not defeat him. Once he took action, he would win... It is said that the Imperial Army was like my Great Taurus Record. He grazed in daily life, drew one in war, and took turns to fight. The gains were also distributed by Man Gui. The Ming Dynasty drew 50% and the rest belonged to the Imperial Army..." The information about the Imperial Army was already very clear, so when Fan Wencheng talked about the Imperial Army, he was particularly careful, for fear of angering Huang Taiji. This Imperial Army was carved from the same mold as his Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Huang Taiji had known about this, but he had no choice. He could do nothing about the matter on the Kalaqin grassland, otherwise he would not have rushed to Zhenjiang Fort in rush. Kalaqin was too far from Dajin, and too far from here. Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, and Lin Danhan blocked him from three sides, and he was out of reach and could not care about so much. Now it seems that it was the layout of the Ming emperor. This layout of the formation and the open and upright layout, Huang Taiji was a chess piece before, and could only follow the hands of the Ming emperor. Now that he understands, he can only watch and cannot move west without solving Mao Wenlong. The old nest is always under Mao Wenlong's threat. To solve Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong is in Zhenjiang Fort..., which is back to the starting point.

"...Along with that, Da Khan, there are so many cannons in Zhenjiang Fort. Wen Cheng feels that there are not many chances of victory. Cannons can reinforce hundreds of them. Needless to say, the grenades must be a large group. This kind of thing is to use human lives to consume grenades. Now, after the heavy snow covers the mountain, I am afraid that even the North Koreans will not be able to catch them. Now, the North Koreans have heard that I, Da Jin, have caught people everywhere, and many of them have fled south. It is already difficult to catch people, not to mention that after the heavy snow covers the mountain, it will be even more difficult to walk... There is not enough life to fill it, and this Zhenjiang Fort cannot be captured no matter what..." Fan Wencheng continued to talk about the situation.

The tent of Sweat was very quiet, Huang Taiji just lowered his head and said nothing. Now Zhenjiang Fort is covered with thorns and has no idea how to start.

"......, no matter how hard it is, after the heavy snow covers the mountain, it becomes difficult to even dig trenches. All the situations are not good for me! Wencheng means to withdraw, or to withdraw as soon as possible... Staying here is useless..." Fan Wencheng thought about it, but he didn't expect that there was anything that was beneficial to Dajin. The only advantage that the river water has disappeared now, and the warships that can dock at Zhenjiang Fort have retreated one after another, and Zhenjiang Fort is lonely again. Also, after the snow, the river surface has become a road, which is convenient for siege. However, when you think of the hundreds of cannons on Zhenjiang Fort, this advantage is not enough.

"It's not my Dajin director!... Withdraw..., Ben Khan also wants to withdraw!..." Huang Taiji raised his head and murmured.

"...I heard that the more than a dozen troops that Mao Wenlong scattered were still fighting with me Dajin? When we went, they ran away. When we retreated a little, they came back. They didn't fight me Dajin head-on, but they just harassed me Dajin and didn't let me Dajin have any rest. The Ming Emperor's move was to see the lifeline of my Dajin! The so-called defeat of the soldiers without fighting, and the so-called victory without winning is probably the case. The Ming Emperor gave a good move! This time, my Dajin lost in the hands of the Ming Emperor, which is not unfair to lose..." Huang Taiji experienced the battle at Zhenjiang Fort, combined with the previous various things, and after several days of thinking, he finally understood Ming Ming's goal.

The Emperor of Chao saw the layout of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but he saw it, but there was no way to break the situation. Mao Wenlong was still in Zhenjiang Fort. Is there a way to conquer it? No? The dozen or so people played hide-and-seek with Da Jin. After fighting for such a long time, he didn't see the dozen or so losing much. It was really not possible. Others retreated to the sea. Facing the sea, Da Jin could only watch it and could not solve Mao Wenlong. He could not move westward at all, and could not move westward. Not to mention Kalaqin, even taking a few more steps, Huang Taiji had to worry about his hometown being raided. When he heard that Mao Wenlong was causing trouble, he had to run back to deal with Mao Wenlong.

"Xiantai, look, if I, Dajin, give up Zhenjiang Fort and no longer get entangled with Mao Wenlong, where would it be better to retreat?" Huang Taiji said sadly. This time, he lost in the hands of the Ming emperor, and it was not unfair to lose. The Ming emperor's layout ability was much better than him. Judging from the whole matter, he was a chess piece in the hands of the Ming emperor. He followed the hands of the Ming emperor. This kind of chess piece, he did not even have the chance to play chess with the people who were planning to play chess. He was not at the same level at all. Huang Taiji, who was detrimental, was greatly hit by this truth, and he became much more negative.

Fan Wenchen was still frightened! He really wanted to retreat? How far did he have to retreat? Although he had been urging Huang Taiji to retreat, he also knew that retreating was definitely not a good thing. Once it was withdrawn, then they would not know where their defense line would go. If they wanted to maintain a proper defense circle with Shengjing as the center, they would not know how many places they would give up.

After looking at the sand table, Fan Wencheng had a clear mind. He lowered his head and said, "Return to Dashan, if my army retreated from Zhenjiang Fort, it would be in the east and would no longer be able to suppress Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong had the convenience of a sea boat and could harass me from any place. Therefore, in this Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, to Phoenix City, and to Kuandian, I Dashen will not be able to gain a foothold anymore, and I am afraid that I will all be the one who belongs to Mao Wenlong..."

"It doesn't matter. For me, Dajin, these places are just enclaves, so it's better to give them to Mao Wenlong..." Huang Taiji didn't care much about such a large place that Fan Wencheng marked out.

"What does Khan mean?" Fan Wencheng asked. Is it worth being happy to lose such a big place?

"Haha, Xiandou doesn't know that this place is an enclave. If it is better for the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty care about the land most? Do you care about the recovery of lost land most? Now that Ben Khan has sent such a large area to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should thank Ben Khan... Hahaha..." Huang Taiji said here, laughing.

"What does the Khan mean? Could it be that the Khan meant that he would give all these lands to the Ming Dynasty. With the Central Plains court's consistent emphasis on land, he would definitely regard these lands as restoration land, and would definitely send people to manage and redevelop them. In a few years, this is another granary of my Dajin, but it would just be lent to the Ming Dynasty for use in the past few years?" Fan Wencheng already understood what Huang Taiji meant. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, the regaining of lost land was a great achievement. It would not take long to send officials to govern and recruit refugees. In a few years, these places would be fatter and rich. At that time, Dajin would not have to do anything, just come and grab it.

"Haha, it's... Ben Khan predicted that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be confused by the achievements of the Futu hundreds of miles. Haha, let's give these lands to him for a few years. After a few years, there will be dealers everywhere here, and Ben Khan will come to take it..." Huang Taiji was very optimistic. Huang Taiji believed that he knew the Ming Dynasty very well.

"The Khan is very good! The Khan is so powerful!" Fan Wencheng immediately praised.

"Well, that's it. Wen Cheng draws a strategy, see how to withdraw, draw a line, see where to withdraw, give up, give up what should I go..." Huang Taiji said casually, in fact, he was quite frustrated and confident, in this battle of Zhenjiang Fort, he was smashed and always boasted and conceited, but in this battle, he could only be a chess piece, and he didn't even have the chance to play chess with others on the table. This blow is quite big. The consequence of this battle is that the Later Jin abandons Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou, and a vast area like Phoenix City, and Kuandian, and they will no longer be able to support them. They have to give up. Otherwise, if you confront Mao Wenlong, he would not be able to support the food and supplies of support.

"Zhe..., Wen Cheng obeys the order!" Fan Wencheng said.

"In addition, taking advantage of the current river water, half of the troops will continue to besiege Zhenjiang Fort. The other troops will take turns to North Korea to capture the grass valley. Whoever catches the ones they get will be the ones they get. After they catch them, they will no longer rush to Zhenjiang Fort. Let's go home. When everyone is full, we will go back to Shengjing..." Huang Taiji said with a quiet expression.

Fan Wenchen felt a thump in his heart when he heard this. Looking at Huang Taiji's face, he was actually so sinister! He had torn his face with North Korea anyway, and he still wanted to grab a handful of North Korea before leaving. He did not please him in the Ming Dynasty, and did not please him in the Zhenjiang Fort, Mao Wenlong, but he wanted to make up for it.

"twitter!"

"twitter!"

"Zhe!" The confidants of Huang Taiji next to him were so excited that they immediately knelt down and agreed to chew the hard bones of Zhenjiangbao here, and had already knocked off their teeth. Now, at least, they can eat a few pieces of meat in North Korea.

The Hou Jin camp, which had been silent for many days, finally burst into laughter this time.

...

Early in the morning, Yang Jie got up early. Yesterday, he easily passed the matter of the nine borders. His actions took another step forward, which is undoubtedly worthy of happiness. So, today, Yang Jie got up early in the morning and was ready to go to work early. If you are in a good mood, you will have motivation.

"Big partner, what important things are there today?" Yang Jingying was in a very happy mood and asked Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen was puzzled for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty, there seems to be nothing big today, but there is one thing I don't know about Your Majesty..."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Jingang asked.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, can Your Majesty remember the story of the nine borders?" Wang Chengen said.

"I know! Is there anything wrong?" Yang Jie asked, thinking that Wang Chengen had discovered something wrong.

"Your Majesty, someone has submitted a memorial today to seek grievances for Xiong Tingbi." Wang Chengen said, in fact, this kind of thing is nothing. If it weren't for the fact that this matter could have some hooks on the nine sides of the emperor's prophecy yesterday, Wang Chengen might not have told the emperor about this matter. In the absence of any major event, it depends on the emperor's mood. While speaking, he found a memorial for Yang Jing.

"Oh, to seek justice for Xiong Tingbi?" Yang Jing frowned and thought. Yang Jing knew something about Xiong Tingbi. The priest Jiubian meant that his head was said. Although he was responsible for defeating the battle, he was indeed a bit over the priest Jiubian. What's more, Wang Huazhen, the direct person in charge of the defeat, did not receive such treatment. Obviously, the punishment for him was over, and obviously, the punishment for him was mixed with many other factors.

Yang Jing did not think too much about the inside story of this matter. After thinking about it, he still paid more than a cheaper position in his head. If he had not taught Jiubian in front of him, he would not have found such a suitable excuse for the border army. In short, Xiong Tingbi's head had helped him.

After a little searching, Yang Jingwei didn't have much time to study what was said. Based on his intuition, he didn't say anything else, the nine sides of the head had indeed passed. This head helped him, which was enough. He didn't need to study the others in depth.

Yang Jing, who figured it out, said: "Well, I know, Xiong Tingbi's affairs are indeed a bit unfair. Let Xiong Tingbi take back his head and bury him well. Don't mention other things. Even if this matter comes to an end... By the way, Da Pei, you secretly give Xiong Tingbi's son five hundred taels of silver to comfort him and cheer up his son up. As the saying goes, wherever you fall, get up from where you fall. To prove it with actual achievements, it is better than anything else. His father fell in the failure of the war. I hope he and his family can get up from this aspect..."

Yang Jie thought about it and gave such instructions. In the front, he felt that Xiong Tingbi's punishment was a bit exaggerated. Later, he was purely thankful to Xiong Tingbi's head. Without that head, he could not imitate the back.
Chapter completed!
