Chapter 899 Tartars, have you retreated?

A few people, including the Minister of State and Political Affairs, Yingerdai, who was in charge of the household department, and the scholars of the Inner Academy, Fan Wencheng, Xifu, and Gang Lin, stayed by Huang Taiji's side.

They can be said to be the most loyal to Huang Taiji, especially Fan Wencheng, Ma Guangyuan and other Han courtiers.

The civil servants and military generals of the Han people had no foundation in the Qing Dynasty, and the kings such as Dorgon and Daishan didn't like them very much, so Huang Taiji was both a Bole and a protective umbrella for them.

After Huang Taiji managed to drink a little rice porridge and broth, his mental state recovered slightly. Compared with when Daishan and others first came, he was already much better. Only the epistaxis was the most difficult problem, and he couldn't stop the nosebleeds.

Although, this is already an old problem of Huang Taiji, and everyone has long been familiar with it, but it is no different than usual at this moment.

After hearing the bad news repeatedly, Huang Taiji suffered a great mental blow. He hadn't had any water for a day, and just now he vomited three mouthfuls of blood. Just imagine that even a young man, who suddenly lost so much blood due to such an accident, would be the same. Unbearable, let alone Huang Taiji?

They are not only worried about Huang Taiji, but also worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty!
At this moment, Han people such as Fan Wencheng and Ma Guangyuan already regard themselves as Manchus, and they are doing their best to manage the future of the Qing Dynasty in Manchuria, even more serious and diligent than some Manchus.

At this time, Yingerdai, the Minister of State Council and Chengzheng of the Household Department, saw that Huang Taiji had eaten, his mental state recovered slightly, and he felt at ease in his heart, with a smile from the bottom of his mouth.

But it happened to be caught by Huang Taiji's eyes, his eyes stopped on Ying Erdai's face, looking at his concerned expression, he also felt extremely comforted in his heart.

After a while, he said: "Send...send someone to send a message to Jierhalang...tell him to lead the troops with the inlaid blue flag to retreat to Bai...Baimiao Castle."

Ying'erdai sat on the chair in front of Huang Taiji's imperial couch, he slightly bent down and put his head in Huang Taiji's ear, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to call Prince Su back?"

After hearing the words, Huang Taiji's expression froze, as if he was thinking seriously, and after a while, he shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "No, there is Prince Li, you and Jierhalang sitting here, I can rest assured .

The east bank of the Xiaoling River is also very important, and it can threaten the Ming army's ration road. It is better for Hauge to stay there. "

Yingerdai accompanied Huang Taiji for a long time, and he was very trustworthy, and he was also very good at thinking about Huang Taiji's thoughts. At this moment, he seemed to have a premonition, and he couldn't help but "click" in his heart.

He blurted out: "Your Majesty, no!"

There was no trace of blood on Huang Taiji's disastrous face. The corners of his mouth were slightly cracked, forcing out a little smile, but his pale face, coupled with a trace of blood on his lips, looked abnormal under the flickering candlelight. terrible.

Yingerdai naturally also knew that the only shortcoming of his master with unlimited strategies and great ambitions was that it was not a good thing to be too affectionate and dedicated to the concubine in his harem!

Although Huang Taiji didn't answer his words, but at this moment, silence speaks louder than words, everything has been said without words, there is no need to say any more.

After Ying'erdai, Fan Wencheng and others all withdrew, Huang Taiji's mood still could not be completely calm. He had no intention of planning the war in Jinzhou at this moment.

All he could think about was Hai Lanzhu's past. When he left Shengjing, he cared most about Hai Lanzhu's body. That's why he didn't go to the front line of Jinzhou for so long.

I never thought that the most worrying thing still happened!
Huang Taiji's love for Hailanzhu comes from his heart, unlike Queen Zhezhe and several other concubines, it is entirely for the purpose of political marriage to appease the Mongolian tribe.

But the current situation in Lijinzhou is also very dangerous. Although his heart has already flown back to Shengjing and to Hai Lanzhu's side, his mind is full of longing for Hai Lanzhu and worries about her physical condition .

"Tartar, have you retreated?"

Standing on Rufeng Mountain, Zhang Cheng looked at the south bank of the Daughter River at the bottom of the mountain. As far as he could see, there was no trace of a Qing soldier Tartar.

It turned out that yesterday he received a letter from Zhang Ruoqi, the commander-in-chief, saying that the governor-general Hong Chengchou summoned them to go to Rufeng Mountain to discuss military affairs. Naturally, Zhang Cheng didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to the Niangniang Palace with twenty soldiers. go.

Wang Pu, the general of Datong, Li Fuming, the general of Shanxi, and Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, have already been waiting here.

Because on the other side of the Xiaoling River, there are also the Zhenglan Banner soldiers and horses of the Tazi Su Prince Hauge, watching from the side, and they may cross the river to attack at any time. Fu Yingchong and two people stayed behind in Niangniang Palace and Hekou Liangzhai.

Zhang Cheng, Zhang Ruoqi, the military commander, Zhang Dou, the military commander, and others rushed to Xingyuan, the governor of Jiliao, on Rufeng Mountain before Sishi.

After hearing the news that the Qing army's captive cavalry had suddenly withdrawn, Zhang Cheng personally went to the northern foot of Rufeng Mountain and looked down at the land on the south bank of the Daughter River. Sure enough, there was not a single Tartar.

"The wilderness at the foot of the mountain looks quite tidy. There is no remnant of the camp left by the Tartars. We can tell that they did not leave in a hurry." Zhang Cheng put down the binoculars in his hand, and analyzed his observations with the crowd.

Wang Pu took the binoculars carelessly, and looked down as well. After a while, he handed the binoculars back to Zhang Cheng, with a look of great love.

Seeing this, Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, the binoculars are a powerful weapon in the army. Use this to observe the enemy, and the enemy will have nowhere to hide. When I return to the Xuanfu, how about I send ten tubes to Brother Wang?"

Wang Pu was naturally happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Dashuai Zhang is really polite. In fact, this tube is already very delicate, why bother to prepare it separately."

In fact, the telescope was not invented by Zhang Cheng after his arrival, but a technology that existed in the Ming Dynasty, and its source was the introduction of the Western barbarians who came to the Ming Dynasty to preach.

But for a long time, this military weapon has become the plaything of the lords and ministers. It is mostly used for viewing flowers and scenery, but it is almost never used in the army.

It was not until recent years that the telescope was seen among the governors of the Ming Dynasty, but the general generals still seldom used it. Useful.

After all, under the influence of the system of unifying the military with civil affairs, many generals have already become officers who obey orders. Not only do they rarely participate in the formulation of military strategies, they even gradually become indifferent to the prospecting of the enemy.

As a result, he is naturally not interested in this telescope. Even if the general in charge owns this object, it is only used to show his status.

Now, seeing Wang Pu speak like this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained: "This binoculars was a gift from Qingjiang Yang Hanlin when he was following King Lu Duqin. I really dare not transfer it to Wang Zongbing."

Wang Pu was also one of the chief soldiers who went to Jingqin King together at the beginning. When Zhang Cheng mentioned the past, he punched the rock next to him, and said solemnly: "Oh, when I was sent back to Datong to help my brother, It is a pity in life not to be able to fight side by side with Zhang Shuai!"

Regardless of whether this statement is sincere or not, at this moment, it is very appropriate.

Zhang Cheng also hurriedly comforted him: "The war slaves in Jinan, returning to aid Datong, is all a matter of king's heart. The regret of the year, isn't this time in the land of Liaodong, is it consummated?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Wang Pu smiled and said, "It's still fun to kill slaves side by side with Zhang Shuai!"

Hearing Wang Pu's words, Chen Jiugao on the side also smiled and said: "If you want me to say, we will bind together and count the ball. I don't want to mess with those boys in Liaodong anymore. This battle was terrible. It’s still fun on your side.”

Wang Pu also laughed unscrupulously and echoed.

Zhang Cheng shook his head helplessly, turned around and said softly to them: "Speak carefully, my good brothers. This is where Hong Duchen's actions are. Brother, I can't protect you either."

Hearing the words, Wang Pu and Chen Jiugao looked at each other, stuck out their tongues at the same time, and quickly turned their heads to look around for a while before letting go of their hearts.

At this moment, there was a "dong dong dong" drum sound. It turned out that Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, ordered someone to beat the general drum to summon the generals to the main hall to discuss military affairs.

Zhang Cheng and the others knew that this matter should not be delayed, so they hurriedly got up and went to Shicheng on the top of Rufeng Mountain.

…………

The Xingyuan of Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, was set up in Shicheng on the top of Rufeng Mountain, where Dorgon was stationed at the beginning, but now it has become the Xingyuan of the governor of the Ming army, which shows that the world is unpredictable.

In the lobby of the governor's office, the eunuch Wang Cheng'en, the eunuch of the Admiral's East Factory, was sitting impressively. He sat at the top seat with the governor, Hong Chengchou, and the commander of the army, Zhang Ruoqi.

Wang Chengen and Zhang Ruoqi, one represents the current Emperor Chongzhen, and the other represents Chen Xinjia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, so they are naturally qualified to sit side by side with Governor Hong Chengchou of Jiliao.

However, Wang Chengen was not a domineering person. He insisted that Governor Hong Chengchou should still take the lead in the Liaodong military. Therefore, the seats for him and Zhang Ruoqi were slightly inclined at the top to highlight Hong Chengchou's status.

The reason why Wang Chengen didn't return to Beijing immediately after delivering the emperor's decree was because he had a special mission, so he stayed on the front line of Songjin in the name of helping to supervise the transportation of food and grass.

On the lower left side, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, is the head, followed by Zhang Dou of the Military Constitution, Yao Gong of the Procuratorate, Zhizhen of the Supervising Dao Wang, Zhu Tingxie of the Liang Dao, Zhang Weimin of the Commander, Zheng Ganmin of the Supervisor of Ji, etc. official.

But on the right side, General Zhang Cheng of Zhenshuo, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu Town, sat in the first place, followed by Chen Jiugao, the commander-in-chief of the Shenji Battalion, Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and the commander-in-chief of the East Association. Bing Cao Bianjiao, former Tunwei commander Wang Tingchen, Miyun commander Tang Tong and other commanders.

As for Bai Guang'en, the chief soldier of Ji Town, and Ma Ke, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, they are now self-redempting, so they sat in the back row with Liaodong deputy general Zu Dale. Words can not speak, the status is not as good as before.

There are also Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of the Chinese Association, Li Fuming, the general soldier of Shanxi, and Meng Dao, the general soldier of the Liaodong Association.

This time the military discussion, the civil servants did not have any major changes, but Zhang Ruoqi and Zhang Dou were slightly improved compared to others.

After all, the battle on Huangtu Ridge on the East Road that they were in charge of went far more smoothly than that on Shimen Mountain on the West Road, and achieved greater results. This can be seen from their expressions.

On the other hand, the generals have changed quite a bit, to the point of rearranging the seats.

Let’s just talk about Zhang Cheng, when he was at the bottom of the first military meeting in Ningyuan City, but this time, he was already the justifiable general of Xuanzhen and General Zhenshuo, and he sat firmly in the crowd. The first of the generals.

Another person who has improved very quickly is Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the regiment of Ningyuan Town. Although he is also the commander-in-chief of the first town, he is not as young as Zhang Cheng, so he is still ranked behind the other commander-in-chiefs.

But this time in the military meeting, he actually sat in third place after Chen Jiugao. This was because Chen Jiugao was the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp after all, and he was given special treatment to rank second.

Therefore, although Wu Sangui was the third seat, in the eyes of everyone, he was already ranked second, second only to Zhang Cheng.

Many people looked at Zhang Cheng and then at Wu Sangui. Both of them were tall and strong, with a jade-like complexion, white and beardless, and equally handsome and handsome. Like Zhuge Liang.

However, if someone can rise to the top, someone will naturally come down.

First of all, Tang Tong, the commander of Miyun, fell from the front to the last position. Although he had made great achievements in attacking Dongshimen, he failed to meet Wu Sangui in time, missed the military opportunity, and almost caused Wu Sangui's troops to be defeated by slaves.

Therefore, his merits and demerits were evenly matched. Although he was credited with one merit in the final evaluation, he was far inferior to Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others, so he sat at the bottom.

But even so, it is far better than Ma Ke and Bai Guangen. They have now been dismissed from the post of commander-in-chief. Although they still lead the original squad, they are already guilty.

To say that the ones who have changed little are Wang Pu, Li Fuming and others. They took the credit for following the right people almost lying down.

Therefore, Wang Pu still sat in the fourth place after Wu Sangui, and Li Fuming was only unable to attend the military meeting because he was guarding the Eastern Front. Otherwise, I am afraid that the seat should be higher than Tang Tong.

Li Fuming was able to get to where he is now because of his self-redemption, all thanks to Zhang Cheng's credit.

After everyone was seated, they heard a crisp sound of the cloud board, and saw the curtain behind the hall lifted, Governor of Jiliao Hong Chengchou and eunuch Wang Cheng'en of Bingbi came out side by side, and the commander of the army Zhang Ruoqi followed behind them.

Zhang Cheng knew at a glance that Hong Chengchou was using Wang Chengen's hand to suppress Zhang Ruoqi, who was already a bit arrogant.

After all, even if he, Zhang Ruoqi, can represent his own soldier, Chen Xinjia, how dare he compete with Wang Chengen, who can represent the current emperor?
