Ming Zuo

Chapter 175
"You... you're bleeding."

Wang Siyi was beside Zuo Menggeng, and noticed his strangeness.

Only then did Zuo Menggeng open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of turbid blood, the depression between the chest and abdomen was slightly relieved.

"How can the blood that bleeds on your body compare to the blood that bleeds from your heart?"

The others were silent and watched Hou Jin Dajun go away.But the wailing voices of the common people seemed to still be echoing in their ears, and I am afraid that they would never go away in this lifetime.

Huang Zongxi looked back abruptly.

"Zhongheng, let's build a new world."

Zuo Menggeng raised his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Aren't we doing it?"

Mao Yuanyi calmed down somewhat, got back on his horse, and said in a muffled voice: "Count me in. One day, sooner or later, I will personally chop off the heads of Chongzhen and Huang Taiji."

This person was too stimulated, and he had obviously entered a radical alley.

But Zuo Menggeng understands his feelings very well, so why not himself?

Anyone who saw the scene of thousands of Han people being taken away at Dongjiakou could no longer maintain a normal mind.I just feel that the world is oppressive and people can't breathe, so they have to ruthlessly poke a big hole in the sky.

"Qianza, shall we return?"

Zuo Rong was very lonely.

After all, the rear battalion missed the chance to fight, and could only watch Huang Taiji retreat calmly, which made him very ashamed.

Any soldier with a conscience will never forgive himself when he sees the people being taken away by robbers in front of him.

Zuo Menggeng shook his head, already made up his mind.

"There is still a big battle waiting for us."

He remembered that the whole self-change was completely over, and it would last until May.

He didn't catch Huang Taiji's army, but he didn't want to let the other post-gold troops go.

Next, we have to take a good look at who is the unlucky ghost who is being targeted by him.

On their return journey, they assembled a large force in the valley north of Qian'an.

After returning from Dongjiakou, Mao Yuanyi, Huang Zongxi, Zuo Rong, Zuo Hua and others obviously changed drastically.

They drilled the army more vigorously, which led to an upsurge of large-scale military training in the whole army.

Huang Zongxi gave full play to his eloquence and told the soldiers of the whole army what he saw at Dongjiakou.

These soldiers who missed the opportunity, when they heard the tragic situation, were devastated and indignant, and finally understood the intention of the chief officers to redouble their drills.

In this unknown ravine, the rear battalion is constantly honing its technical and tactical level.

On the battlefield, with Huang Taiji's withdrawal, there was a strange calm for quite a long time.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was already a lot of turmoil, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

They couldn't tell if Huang Taiji really withdrew his troops, or if he just shot a feint and plotted something.

So all the Ming troops had to hide in the city, waiting for the situation to become clear.

In the change of Jisi in later generations, what Hou Jin did was basically characterized as a military adventure and plunder.But judging from the actual situation, Huang Taiji is obviously deploying a big game.

If it was just looting, then when he returned, all the ministries of Houjin should have withdrawn together.But it is obvious that at this time Houjin still has a strong military force in various parts of Gyeonggi.

Abatai, Jierhalang, Sahalian, Sony, and Ning Wanwo were stationed in Yongping, Bao Chengxian was stationed in Qian'an, Turge and Namtai were stationed in Luanzhou, and Chakara was stationed in Zunhua.

What can better reflect Huang Taiji's great ambition is the decree he gave to his subordinates before he left.

【Emperor Ming's people, if God bestows on me, then his people will be our people.Take my people, and if I invade and violence, the country that has been conquered will not be mine.The people of other countries will never come back.The guards of the city, the ministers of Baylor, etc., should strictly discipline our sergeants...]

Obviously, Huang Taiji regarded this invasion as a contest with the Ming Dynasty for popular support.

Reminiscent of when he attacked Shanhaiguan, he also ordered farmers from all over the country to take advantage of the beginning of spring to cultivate, and even sent cattle to the farmers, which shows his ambition.

What's more, since entering the bandits this time, there have been a lot of people who have surrendered from all over the country.

Huang Taiji also didn't want to walk away, leaving the impression that those who surrendered were abandoned arbitrarily, making it more difficult for them to invade again in the future.

From this point of view, Huang Taiji does not know where he is better than the US military.

The people he left behind were absolutely unable to guard the places they had already occupied.But in this way, those who surrender can have an illusion.

Dad didn't abandon us, Dad fought bloody battles for us, dads just didn't fight.

On March [-], the situation between the enemy and ourselves changed fundamentally.

Huang Taiji dispatched Amin and Shuo Tuo from Shenyang to replace Abatai, Jierhalang and others to command the battle in Gyeonggi.

This approach is obviously to deal with Amin.

Of course Amin knew, but there was nothing he could do.

Huang Taiji returned to his teacher victoriously, making every department earn a lot of money, and his reputation has reached its peak.

Under such circumstances, he, one of the four Baylors, has lost the capital to fight against the court.

If he dared to disobey his orders, the inlaid blue flag of his headquarters would betray him.

The Ming army should have also received information about Huang Taiji's return to Shenyang, and Zu Dashou began to organize an offensive.

On the [-]th, Zu Dashou went out of Shanhaiguan to Funing, and then attacked Yongcheng.

Although it was not captured, it was obvious that Houjin's troops were not as powerful as before, which also made the various ministries of the Ming army much more courageous.

On March [-], when Amin arrived in Zunhua, he also knew that he was in critical condition.Unwilling to be caught without a fight, he decided to use his solid military exploits to get out of trouble.

So on the second day, Amin took Jierharang, Shuotuo and others to march westward, hoping to win a big victory.

As a result, they encountered Cao Wenzhao's troops at Niumen and Shuimen, and then Ma Shilong also arrived.

After a great battle, Amin was driven back to Zunhua, and the Ming army approached the city of Zunhua.

Zuo Liangyu was under Cao Wenzhao's command, and he made a lot of contributions in this battle.

Later, Hou Jin attacked the Fengrun area, but was repulsed by You Shilu.

It can be said that after the entire month of March, Jin never won any battles. Instead, he was pressed from all sides by the Ming army, and his room for movement became smaller and smaller.

But for the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing to be happy about in this March.

Bad news came from the west.

Just in February, when Shanxi soldiers and horses entered Jingqinwang, Laohuihui, Bajingang, Ren Zishun, Shangtianhou and other troops crossed the Yellow River, captured Puzhou, and officially entered Shanxi.

Chongzhen turned pale with shock, and hurriedly let Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong who were in Liangxiang return to their teachers.

But Geng Ruqi wrote to resign.

During the Battle of Liangxiang, Geng Ruqi was seriously injured in many places, he was bad at work, and could no longer hold his post.

Chongzhen had no choice but to allow it, and at the same time replaced the governor of Shanxi to deal with the peasant army in northern Shaanxi.

How did he know that Geng Ruqi was disheartened, and he didn't want to sacrifice his life for the Zhu Dynasty.

The unofficial Geng Ruqi took Geng Zhangguang leisurely back to Linqing.

In April, the Ming army began a massive counter-offensive.

Sun Chengzong came to the front line to command in person, and gathered all the troops to storm Luanzhou.

Later Jin's defenders in Luanzhou were Turge, Namutai and Tang Gudai.

The three of them were brave enough to guard for four days.However, the disparity in the strength of the two sides was too great, so Sun Chengzong mobilized cannons and blasted down the city wall.

Seeing that there was no other way, Turge had to lead his army to break through.

It happened that it was raining heavily at that time and was besieged by the Ming army. The Jin army was in chaos and more than [-] people were beheaded and killed.

Turge retreated all the way to Yongping, but Amin was frightened.

At this time, there were a total of more than [-] Jin troops in the pass, and they were still scattered in various places.Amin knew very well that even if all the troops were gathered together, it would be impossible to defeat the Ming army, so he wanted to quit.

As Huang Taiji's brother-in-law, Turge knew that if he went back like this, he would definitely be punished. He dissuaded Amin and said: We have guarded Luanzhou for four days. As long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to guard Yongping.

Amin didn't listen at all, for fear of dying in Daming territory.

And he was lucky, thinking that as one of the four Baylors, he would be reprimanded by Huang Taiji at most after returning home.

So he gave Zunhua's Chakala an order to come and join him, ready to flee.

Amin didn't know at all that Huang Taiji finally got the chance to abandon the city and escape this time.Although they didn't kill him, they completely deprived him of his power and imprisoned him until he died.

Zuo Menggeng, who has been hiding in the deep mountains, is always paying attention to the changes in the battle situation.

When Chakala of Zunhua fled to Yongping, he was keenly aware that the final battle was coming.

"Amin doesn't have the courage of Huang Taiji, and the soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan are not afraid of him, so he doesn't dare to go to Dong's house at all. Then this is the only place where he can escape."

Under the watchful eyes of all the generals, Zuo Menggeng's hands focused heavily on one place.

The bright moon shines on the clear water, and the cold wind blows through.

Clear water and bright moon pass!
　Thank you Wei Ai Qinger for the reward!
