Chapter 223 The decree arrives

(Thank you, my friend, for your crunchy two monthly tickets~~)

Three days later, Huimei and Huiying took three thousand gunmen and three thousand eight banners of the Han army and escorted four thousand Manchu prisoners to Haizhou and handed them over to Donghai Quartz Mining as slaves to mine. Li Xin had already marked the address of the crystal mine. As for whether it could be dug out, it depends on God's will.

Huimei and Huiying separated from the army near the canal and went south to Yangzhou to preside over the matters given by Li Xin, and destroyed the Rumorslaughter.

Three days later, Li Xin left Zhang Nai to station in Linqing, and led his own 25,000 troops and navy troops north along the canal.

After Abatai divided 50,000 troops to Turge, he expected that the Ming army would not dare to fight with him, so he continued to divide his troops and attacked various prefectures and counties in Hebei, including Bazhou, Hejian, Yongqing, Hengshui and other prefectures in Hebei.

As he expected, Turge attacked Linqing, and the Ming army moved from afar to Weixian, the Qing army attacked Hejian, and the Ming army traveled far away. Liu Zeqing, Tang Tong, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and other powerful generals attacked the wing-protecting capital for a long time, gathered in Tongzhou, and did not dare to follow the Qing army south at all.

On this day, Abatai personally led more than 10,000 soldiers to capture Leling (now a county under the jurisdiction of Dezhou, Shandong). The city was covered with corpses, and smoke filled the smoke. The houses along the city walls were burning with raging fires. The Ming army knelt on the ground under the leadership of the generals. Teams of ordinary people were driven to the designated location, and trucks of food and treasures were plundered. Abatai nodded repeatedly.

"General, Zhu Hongzhi, the Prince of Leling of Ming Kingdom, was brought here!"

At this time, a personal soldier turned his ear to remind him.

Abatai looked up and saw a fat man walking over dejectedly under the escort of the Qing army. His fair face had signs of being beaten. Behind him were a few fat men and some beautiful women, walking all the way.

"I'm not paying homage to the general!"

A soldier shouted fiercely.

"Little King...Little King Zhu Hongzhi paid a visit to the Qing Dynasty and asked the general to spare his orders, and let him spare his orders!"

Zhu Hongzhi knelt down and kowtowed and shouted.

Everyone behind him also knelt down one after another.

"snort!"

Abatai snorted: "Zhu Hongzhi, you fishermen and people, and you have the face to beg for mercy from me. Tell me, where did your tens of thousands of hectares of land come from? Where did your wealth come from? Where did your beautiful concubine come from? You are full of evil!

This general was ordered by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to perform the law on behalf of heaven. He killed corrupt officials and other corrupt officials. He gave the people of the Ming Dynasty a fair one. He came and dragged down Zhu Hongzhi and his son and the evil slaves of the royal palace to behead him!"

"Great General, please spare me!"

In an instant, the crying below shook the sky.

A group of soldiers pulled down dozens of people led by Zhu Hongzhi, raised their hands and fell down, and cut off their heads.

Abatai looked at the group of women again, all of them Zhu Hongzhi's concubines and beautiful palace maids, two of which made his eyes linger. After a while, he said: "Take it down and reward the meritorious soldiers!"

"twitter!"

A close friend noticed Abatai's gaze. Although Abatai said it nicely, in fact, he had reserved two for himself. If he didn't have this little vision, he would not be worthy of being Abatai's confidant.

Sure enough, a group of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers rushed forward happily, one was one beautiful woman, picked it up and left, leaving two alone, and several maids led them away.

"Yeah~~"

Abatai took out the tobacco pipe with satisfaction and started sucking it.

"General, General!"

At this moment, a rider rushed over quickly, his face full of panic.

"What's up?"

Abatai asked in a deep voice.

The knight rolled down and dropped his horse, not even caring about the gains and losses, and then said anxiously: "General, Tu... Lord Tu is wiped out!"

"What?"

Abatai was shocked and looked disbelief.

Indeed, Turge's strength was comparable to his. He led 50,000 troops to attack Linqing. Even if he couldn't fight for a long time, he would not be wiped out!

"Tell me clearly!"

The territory of Zhenglan Banner Zuo said sternly.

"General, that's how it is!"

The knight told all the news he found.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise. After many years, the Qing Dynasty never lost the established Niulu, and it was also a 50,000 army. Although there were only 30 Niulu among the 50,000 army, and the rest were not worried about death. But the problem is that Abatai only had more than 30 Niulu!

Abatai also had an abnormal flush on his face.

Although he is Huang Taiji's man and is born with Turge, it is just an internal conflict and is consistent with external factors. Turge's entire army is wiped out, which means that his team has fallen into danger.

After all, the premise for the Qing army to storm unscrupulously in Shandong, Hebei was that the Ming army was afraid of war and avoided war. In terms of the military strength in Hebei, the Ming army was several times that of the Qing army. Now that the bandit army has achieved great victory, it may not be impossible to stimulate the Ming army, or even Chongzhen. If Chongzhen issued a death order and intercepted himself from the rear, he might not be able to return to Shenyang.

"General, General!"

The more he was afraid of, the more he came, the more he rushed to report: "The news came from Beijing's secret spies that Chongzhen had issued an order to reprimand Zhou Yanru, saying that he delayed the fighter's opportunity and avoided fighting, ordered him to redeem his sins and gave him a month's deadline!"

If Turge had not been defeated first, Chongzhen's will was a joke and no one would take it seriously. But it was different at this time. Turge was annihilated, which put Abatai in danger.

'waste!'

Abatai cursed secretly and asked, "What do you think?"

"I'm afraid of a damn comparison!"

A man of rough appearance waved his hand indifferently: "Mingjun saw us like a grandson when he saw his grandfather, he was afraid of him as a bird, let alone Turg, it was all the words of the young husband named Li. The southerners were so deceitful that they had to follow me. The general ignored him, and they would do whatever they should do!"

This is completely nonsense, but it represents the mentality of a considerable number of Manchus. In just a few decades, Manchus has started a war from thirteen old armors in the Nurhaci era to now becoming a giant beast sweeping outside the pass. It is impossible to say that it is not proud of it. The process of a country's growth and development is also an invisible cohesion. All those who gain benefits will spontaneously safeguard and loyal to the country. However, some people have their confidence evolved into arrogance, and pride has faded into blindness. Because of the continuous victory, among the Manchus, there are more and more arrogant blind people.

Abatai frowned slightly, and showed an unhappy look.

Tuyuk hurriedly said, "General, the situation is unclear at the moment, but he wants nothing but his faults. He should be cautious. He thought that he might as well send someone to inquire about the news and at the same time ordered the army to quickly gather in Leling. In this way, even if there is a change, he would not be caught off guard. If it proves that it is a rumor, it will not be too late to disperse. It is just a delay for himself. He thought that even if the emperor knew about it, he would still praise the general."

"Yeah~~"

Deep in Abatai's heart, he had actually believed in the news that Turg was wiped out, so he nodded.

...

In Tongzhou, the general Zhou Yanru was in charge of the place. Every day, the news came flying like snow. However, he expected that the Qing army would still go back after robbing the south, so he sat firmly on Diaoyutai, drank and had fun with his staff, and ignored military affairs.

As the commander, he was actually just pushing the ducks to the shelves. Although Chongzhen did not force him, all the civil and military officials in the court, Hong Chengchou rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, Sun Chuanting was trapped in Nanjing, and the rest of the people were wise to protect themselves. You must know that the Eastern Barbarians are not thieves, and they have never been defeated. Who would come up to seek death? Therefore, as the chief assistant, he had to volunteer.

Looking at the banquet, Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and other generals were drinking and chatting, and Zhou Yanru was worried. More than 100,000 troops gathered in Tongzhou. He was not worried that the Tartars would attack Tongzhou fiercely. The main reason was that the bad war made him frightened. He was afraid that Chongzhen would be unable to bear it anymore, so he sent several tik cavalry to arrest him and return to Beijing and punish him!

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

Suddenly, there was a silence outside the hall.

Zhou Yanru shivered violently, and saw several Jinyiwei stalkers struting to the top. The leader was Luo Yangxing, the left governor of the Jinyiwei, who protected the eunuch Wang Dehua, the eunuch at the Sili Prison. The personal soldiers standing outside the gate wanted to stop him but did not dare to stop him.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yanru's face turned pale. Luo Yangxing was second only to the commander-in-chief Wu Mengming in the Jinyiwei. Even Luo Yangxing came. This was clearly an order to arrest him and enter the capital!

Luo Yangxing glanced coldly and snorted: "Zhou Zhijun is so leisurely, Luo is very envious!"

Zhou Yanru and a group of generals quickly stood up, bowed and smiled, "Tairu (Luo Yangxing's character) is so serious. Everyone has been doing military affairs overnight and has not been asleep all night. So they drink some wine to cheer up their spirits. I wonder what the emperor's will do?"

These people all drank red in their faces, but Luo Yangxing didn't reveal it, but just looked at Wang Dehua.

"Opinion!"

Wang Dehua coughed lightly.

Hulala, led by Zhou Yanru, a group of people knelt down.
