Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

The family members of those officers arrived on the city wall one after another, and the shouts from the top and bottom of the city wall continued one after another.Some large parcels brought to the officers by the family members were also hung from the city wall.Among them, there are a large number of Lantern Festival brought by these family members.The Lantern Festival is indeed coming soon.

At the end, Xue Yufei, who was wearing a veil, and Xue Chenglin, the young master in the arms of her nanny, also climbed up the south city wall under the guidance of a group of guards, maidservants, and mother-in-law.

As soon as she saw Wu Shigong, Xue Yufei choked up and couldn't speak. She took a handkerchief again and again, lifted her veil, and wiped away the tears she kept shedding.It took a while before she finally restrained her emotions and spoke.

At that time, of course, it was impossible for the couple to say such affectionate words as "Kiss you a thousand times!", "Love you for 1 years!", so they had to say "Are you okay?", "Pay more attention to your body!" and other unnutritious words.

But Xue Chenglin was very excited. He "giggled" and kept patting the crenels of the city wall with his small hands wearing cotton gloves, and he called Wu Shigong crisply: "Daddy! Daddy!".At the end, he grabbed the little cotton cap on his head and threw it to Wu Shigong who was under the city wall. Then he clapped his little hands excitedly, and laughed more happily "giggling".

Seeing his son's little cotton cap dangling down from the city wall, Wu Shigong hurried forward to grab it, then put the little cotton cap under his nose, and sniffed his son's baby fragrance on the little cotton cap.Then treasure the little cotton cap in his bosom.

Until dusk, Wu Shigong and his group reluctantly returned to their camp.In the next few days, military officers who lived in the capital took turns going to the city wall to meet with their families, and Wu Shigong also met with his wife and son four or five times.They all look forward to this kind of life going on forever...

Qin Liangyu and his son Ma Xianglin hurried to the Tongzhou Camp. Unexpectedly, they were so heartbroken that the other officials who led Qin Wang's army arrived late.By the time all the officials arrived, six or seven days had passed.

The one who presided over the discussion this time was Sun Chengzong, who had been reinstated by Emperor Chongzhen.After all the officials arrived, Sun Chengzong immediately gathered the officials together to discuss the current situation.

Now, the Houjin army led by Huang Taiji has basically achieved their military purpose. In addition to looting a lot of property, they also plundered a large number of scarce people outside the pass this time.

More importantly, the post-Jin army has fully figured out the reality of the paper tiger in the Ming Dynasty, and also has an intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Vulnerable.This greatly increased the confidence of Hou Jinjun from top to bottom, and from the bottom of his heart, he felt sincere admiration and reverence for Huang Taiji's wise leadership and accurate judgment.

Now that the goal had been achieved, Huang Taiji ordered the main force of the Empress Jin Army to withdraw from the pass one after another, and accept it as soon as it was good.However, Huang Taiji still asked Amin, one of the four major Baylors, to lead his Xianglan Banner to station in the four cities of Luanzhou, Yongping, Qian'an, and Zunhua that were seized by the Hou Jin army in the pass.

Huang Taiji asked Amin to be stationed in the four cities in the pass, and the reason he used was also very high-sounding.He said to the Houjin Army: It is to ensure that the Houjin Army can enter and leave the customs freely in the future.

However, as an outstanding military commander, Huang Taiji certainly understood that it would be difficult for this lone army relying on Amin's inlaid blue flag to defend against the continuous Ming army that came to seize the city.

However, Huang Taiji has the purpose of killing two birds with one stone in doing so.First of all, he wanted to use the four cities of Yongping as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Ming court, so that the Ming court would recognize that Houjin was a country that stood side by side with the Ming dynasty.

Speaking of this, the author is a little funny.The regime of Hou Jin had been established long ago, and it had considerable strength, and it had such a large territory outside the customs, so if you want to establish a country now, you should establish it.But they have been reluctant to establish a country for a long time, and begged the Ming Dynasty to canonize them to establish a country to show the legitimacy of their founding.what is this?This doesn't mean that even now, those in power in the Later Jin Dynasty still have a deep sense of inferiority when facing the Ming Dynasty?

Another purpose of killing two birds with one stone is to weaken the strength of Amin's Xianglan Banner.Among the four major Baylors, the other three Baylors are all brothers, and only Amin is a cousin.

After Huang Taiji saw that his prestige had been established, he wanted to gather the power of the Eight Banners in his own hands as much as possible, and Amin, who was relatively distant in blood, was a good target for surgery.Because of moving A Min, the other two big Baylors will not join forces to oppose Huang Taiji's decision.

But the court of the Ming Dynasty would definitely not let the four cities of Yongping be held in the hands of the Houjin army. Therefore, Sun Chengzong, who had reappeared, presided over the dispatch of all King Qin's troops to regain the four cities of Yongping as soon as possible.

But when Sun Chengzong asked all the officials present to come up with a plan to recapture the four cities of Yongping, those officials did not say a word.At this time, whoever makes a sound is a fool.And Sun Chengzong can't be too aggressive, because most of these leading officials are civilian officials.

Qin Liangyu couldn't bear to see those officials turned into clay bodhisattvas.She stood up angrily and said loudly, "The four cities of Yongping are in the hands of the Tartars. That is a disgrace to Ming Dynasty and the imperial court. Let the old son Lang be the vanguard to seize the four cities of Yongping. You are not ashamed." Slowly lead the army to support the old man."

Hearing Qin Liangyu's unkind words, those experienced bureaucrats seemed to turn a deaf ear to them.Besides, these officials have no way to care about it.It is reasonable not to mention Qin Liangyu's illustrious military exploits, nor Qin Liangyu's rude words. Qin Liangyu's status alone is higher than that of most of the civil servants present.

You must know that although Qin Liangyu is a military officer, and most of those officials are civil servants, the tradition of gentlemen being noble and martial being humble does not work on Qin Liangyu.Because Qin Liangyu also has an identity, that is, the second-rank imperial lady conferred by the emperor.

Seeing that the scene was a little stiff, Sun Chengzong immediately smoothed things over. He smiled and said to Qin Liangyu: "Mrs. Ma is really strong! The court has always regarded you as a pillar. With Mrs. Ma, the recovery of the four cities of Yongping will be just around the corner. I promise here that Madam Ma will ask for any support from the imperial court."

Facing the highly respected Sun Chengzong, Qin Liangyu did not dare to neglect. After she saluted Sun Chengzong, she said to Sun Chengzong: "Mr. I am very relieved. It is a Henan army that accompanied the old man to the capital. The old man looks good. I hope Grand Master Sun will allow this army to be the vanguard with the old man."

Sun Chengzong immediately looked at the Governor of Henan and Eunuch Xiao, who was present here.The two of them looked at each other, and Eunuch Xiao asked Qin Liangyu suspiciously, "Who is the leading general of that army?"

Qin Liangyu saw that it was an eunuch who was asking the question, so he raised his head and replied coldly, "It's a boy named Wu Shigong."

Seeing Qin Liangyu's attitude, Eunuch Xiao had no choice but to laugh twice.Because everyone here knows that Qin Liangyu's husband was killed by the eunuch.After Qin Liangyu saw the eunuchs, he would never give them a good face.

The governor of Henan also had no choice but to step forward to make a rescue. He said: "I know Wu Qianhu. He is indeed brave and good at fighting. Recovering the four cities of Yongping is a national war. We, sons of Henan, have absolutely no reason to back down. Madam Ma just arrange to go."

The Governor of Henan and Eunuch Xiao both thought in their hearts: "If Wu Shigong can make a contribution in the battle to recover the four cities of Yongping, it is not the credit of the leading officials of Henan King Qin's army? If he can suppress other King Qin's army is at one end, and they hold a lot more weight in Emperor Chongzhen's heart! As for the event of defeat, it will be under the command of Qin Liangyu, so it is hard to blame the two of them. Anyway, this matter is irrelevant. Suffer."

Next, all the officials discussed trivial military affairs such as how much mules, horses, food and grass to support Qin Liangyu, and which army to send to cooperate with follow-up.Soon, Sun Chengzong arranged everything properly.

However, it took several days to arrange for the mules and horses to drag on. When Qin Liangyu brought the mules and horses back to the camp of Baiganbing and Wu Shigong, it was almost February in the third year of Chongzhen.

After returning to the camp, Qin Liangyu immediately gathered all the military officers to discuss military affairs.She first said to Wu Shigong: "Wu Qianhu, there is an order from the imperial court to attack the four cities of Yongping this time, and your army will be under the command of this officer."

Then, Qin Liangyu showed Wu Shigong the troop transfer document stamped with the official seal of Sun Chengzong, as well as the troop dispatch document stamped with the seals of the governor of Henan and the supervising officer of Henan.The procedures for mobilizing Wu Shigong's army were impeccable.

Wu Shigong stared blankly at these official documents and documents, feeling very regretful in his heart: "I was so obsessed with ghosts at the time! Knowing that I was with Qin Liangyu, a tigress, I still wanted to live a stable life. After arriving in the capital, I could have broken up with Qin Liangyu long ago. , went to Tongzhou to find my organization in Henan. Now it’s self-defeating!"

"What's wrong with Wu Qianhu? Don't you want to go?" Seeing Wu Shigong in a daze, Qin Liangyu's words seemed very cold.

Wu Shigong came back to his senses all of a sudden, he immediately uttered some bold words, making his chest make a "popping" sound.Anyway, it seems that there is no escape now, let's have a good attitude first.

Qin Liangyu watched Wu Shigong's performance with a smile, and understood his thoughts.Then she also ignored Wu Shigong and began to arrange the actions of the army.

After the military discussion was over, Wu Shigong returned to his camp and immediately called all the officers over.After announcing the court's order, Wu Shigong said to them: "I won't say much anymore, and don't complain about your own fate. Since there is going to be a war, let's fight hard."

"Don't be afraid that the Tatars are supercilious. At that time, I had no idea what to do with the tens of thousands of rioters, but after rushing over, I found that they were just some local chickens and dogs. We also fought against the Tartars a few days ago. , The Tartars are nothing more than that. It would be bragging to show you your usual training level and guarantee that you will not die, but I guarantee that most of you can go home safely."
