As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and continued to slap himself.
Li Zicheng stood up and pulled him back, saying with emotion: "You can't be blamed for this. If he had waited one more day, he wouldn't have ended up like this!"
As he spoke, he took out the remaining imperial edict.
"This is the reward His Majesty gave you. Please keep it for yourself."
Niu Jinxing subconsciously took the imperial edict, opened it and took a look, then he was stunned.
Baofengbo, General of Military Strategy........
"this........"
Looking at the imperial edict in my hand and then at the one that Li Zicheng threw on Yuan Zongde's body, I was speechless.
From this point of view, this guy's death is really hard to describe!
It doesn’t even take a whole day, just be patient and wait for half a day!
Now, I am buried with the imperial edict...
He put away the imperial edict, looked at Li Zicheng and asked, "My Lord, is the battle going well?"
Li Zicheng nodded and said, "It's all done. From now on, this is the Japanese capital of the Ming Dynasty. Nanhai Bo will be in charge of the overall situation over there for the time being, and Laiheng will assist him."
"According to the Ming military system, the Qin Army will be divided into six guards in the future."
"You, Yigong, Li Guo, and Chonglou will each lead one guard, and I will lead one guard myself. The remaining guard will be in charge of Liu Juanyun."
"Hold the title of commander, and let those Xuanwu Lang come out to nominate the deputy generals under him."
"After it is processed, it will be compiled into a book and I will send it to the capital for your majesty to judge."
Niu Jinxing secretly noted it down and asked, "These are all fine, but..."
Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Li Zicheng glanced at him and asked, "Just what?"
Niu Jinxing then said, "It is just that in my opinion, since Your Majesty can give such a generous reward, our Qin Army may be disbanded in the future."
"After all, you have been conferred the title of Marquis, and I, my brother Li Guo, and my brother Yi Gong have all been conferred the title of Earl..."
"But from the perspective of the recruited South China Sea Navy, Zheng Zhilong is just an Earl of the South China Sea."
Li Zicheng waved his hand: "Those are not things we should worry about."
"Even if we are to be scattered in different places in the future, it is all fate."
"The most important thing right now is to work with Nanhai Bo to find a way to set Mount Fuji on fire first!"
"His Majesty's order to him is that the fire must be started by March at the latest!"
"This will is for us as well!"
"Matters concerning the fate of the country must not be delayed."
Chapter 605: Stop eating, just let me kill you!
The war in Japan is over.
But far away on the other side of the ocean in North America, another war is about to begin!
Since the last battle with the Spaniards, Shi Bowen and his men have never seen the red-haired devils again on this continent.
After resting there for two days, they once again launched the hunt for Dorgon.
But Dorgon was like a gecko. Every time he was about to be bitten, he would leave a group of followers behind to cover his retreat, and escape with his elite men without looking back.
In the past two months, the two sides have fought seven or eight times, and each time the result was the same. Shi Bowen was almost furious!
At this time, Shi Bowen was on the shore of Lake Athabasca, which is on the north side of the Rocky Mountains and later belonged to Canada.
The Arctic Circle was even colder during the Little Ice Age, and you could hear the sound of water vapor freezing in the air when you blew.
Shi Bowen lay on a slope, staring into the distance.
In his sight, it was a valley, and Dorgon was hiding in that valley!
"Brother Shi, don't worry. Dorgon won't be able to escape this time!"
Zhao Huchen was lying beside him, looking at the telescope in his hand with envy.
But Shi Bowen frowned: "Why do I feel like the number of people inside is not right?"
After saying that, he handed over the telescope.
"Look!"
Zhao Huchen was overjoyed and quickly took it and held it in front of him.
In the valley, piles of bonfires were burning, and the remnants of the Yin people and the local natives who were forced here by Dorgon by force gathered around the bonfires to keep warm.
He counted the fires and calculated in his mind.
There were about twenty people around a campfire.
It is easy to see how many fires there are by looking around.
After estimating Dorgon's military strength, he grinned at Shi Bowen.
"Based on Dorgon's previous fighting style, it shouldn't be surprising that there are only so few people left, right?"
But Shi Bowen still did not relax his vigilance: "There shouldn't be only two or three thousand people..."
Du Sha, who was standing next to him, put his hands in his sleeves and said eagerly, "How about I go over and have a look?"
"If we wait any longer, we might all freeze to death here."
"Instead of that, why not just rush in and fight? At least moving can warm you up."
Shi Bowen fell into deep thought after hearing this.
He now has more than 4,000 people under his command.
Although there seemed to be only about two thousand people in the valley before him, but judging from the situation in recent days, the number of troops under Dorgon was definitely not less than his own!
These soldiers were all men recruited from local villages. Under the threat of force, they were forced to obey.
Shi Bowen was walking behind, so it was difficult for him to take advantage of the opportunity.
Fortunately, every time they caught up with Dorgon, they were able to swallow up some of the slave soldiers abandoned by him.
But just ten days ago, they lost sight of Dorgon on a river bank, and when they found him again, it was here.
What Shi Bowen is worried about now is whether Dorgon has expanded his power in these ten days.
If there is, it would be dangerous if I rushed in rashly.
The army under his command, composed of the remnants of the Yin Dynasty and the natives, could only fight when the wind was favorable. Once they were defeated, they would flee in a matter of minutes.
Seeing that he had not responded, Du Sha urged him.
"Master Shi, we have been chasing for so long, and this opportunity is the most precious one!"
"This valley is connected to the mountain, and there is a dead end inside. Let's attack from the front. Unless Dorgon can fly, he will definitely die this time."
"I'll be careful, so I shouldn't be discovered."
Shi Bowen was still a little worried: "Are you sure you can get out of this unscathed?"
"Did your Excellency forget that I had this?"
Du Shazhi pointed at the ground under his feet, where there were two snowboards made of wood.
"I'll quietly climb up the hillside and take a look from a distance."
"If they find me, I will just slide back. Dorgon's men are not capable of hitting me."
"Then be careful!"
Shi Bowen did not refuse again, nor did he ask Du Sha to replace him with someone else.
Because among the remaining deer herders, Du Shark is the most skilled. If someone else were to go, it would be even more dangerous!
"Don't worry, sir. I'll be back soon!"
Du Sha smiled and nodded, looking confident, then turned around and slid down the hillside.
He was wrapped in the skin of a polar bear.
His white fur blends him into the snow, and if you don't look carefully, you can easily overlook him.
With the cover of the bear skin, it took him only a dozen minutes to climb up the slope on one side of the valley and carefully observe the situation inside.
The troops under Dorgon in the valley seemed to be completely unaware of his approach. They were still roasting a fire and drinking porridge made from something unknown.
Du Sha observed for a long time, and after making sure that nothing was missed, he quietly withdrew.
"Your Excellency is right to worry. Dorgon has more than just these few troops in front of us!"
"Behind that wooden shed, there is a corner in the mountain. There are at least two thousand people hiding there!"
Shi Bowen did not show any joy, but asked in return: "Are you sure there are only 2,000 people hiding in there?"
Du Shark nodded confidently: "I'm sure, only two thousand!"
Shi Bowen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, then it makes sense."
"These people in front of us, plus those who are hiding, are exactly the troops that Dorgon took with him when he escaped ten days ago."
"It seems that he has not found any troops in the past ten days."
"In that case, let's fight!"
"Tell my brothers to eat something and wait for my orders!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Du Sha quickly turned around and gave instructions.
When the remnants of the Yin people and the natives at the foot of the hill heard the order, they took out all kinds of dry food from their arms and stuffed them into their mouths with snow.
Pancakes, dried fish, baked potatoes, and even corn cobs with few seeds on them.
That’s not all. Someone even took out a pickled puffins from the leather bag around his waist...
Du Sha accidentally saw this scene and was so scared that his face turned green.
"Don't eat it!"
Having said that, he quickly rushed to the man, and in his puzzled eyes, he grabbed the pickled puffin.
But the man looked reluctant and held on to the pickled puffins tightly.
As the two of them fought over it, they heard a "puff" sound...
A stream of juice with a strong smell spurted out from the pickled puffin's buttocks...
"vomit....."
Looking at the thing on the back of his hand, Du Sha felt like his soul was about to leave his body!
On the hillside, Shi Bowen's face also changed drastically when he saw this scene.
These indigenous eating habits are really...
"Stop eating, I'm going to kill you!"
With a loud shout, Shi Bowen stuffed the dried meat he had just taken out back into his arms, picked up his spear, and rushed towards the valley opposite.
That smell has already spread throughout the team.
The natives didn't think there was anything wrong, but the remnants of the Yin people and Du Sha's tribesmen in the team avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
After hearing Shi Bowen's order, they followed with weapons in hand as if they had been pardoned.
Chapter 606 Today, you are dead!
Hearing the shouting and killing sounds coming from outside the valley, Dorgon's slave soldiers inside instantly became alert.
The mountain road was slippery, and when Shi Bowen and his men rushed in, they were already prepared to fight.
The battle broke out in an instant at the entrance of the valley which was a hundred meters wide.
After more than two months of pursuit, the few muskets that both sides had obtained from the Spanish army had long been out of supply and could only be used as firewood sticks.
