Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 522
Huang Taiji was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed tightly, without saying a word, his face darkened.

After returning from Lushun, he fell ill, and no medicine was effective.This is a heart disease, no matter how clever the doctor is, there is nothing he can do... Besides, Houjin's doctor may not be so clever.

The [-] army suddenly lost [-], and a quarter of Houjin's army was gone. This blow was too great for him and for the entire Houjin, and it could be called tragic.After this battle, Hou Jin's strength was greatly damaged, and his allies were alienated. He suffered such an unprecedented setback, how could Huang Taiji not get sick?His heart was always cramping, and he couldn't even eat anything. He could often be heard muttering "Give me back my pawns, give me back my pawns" when he was half asleep and half awake. Terrible, very frightening.

"King Khan, just eat something!" Concubine Zhuang knelt in front of the bed holding a cup of bird's nest, and said with tears in her eyes, "You haven't eaten for two days, how can your body handle it? You will starve like this." my own!"

Huang Taiji said weakly: "I have no appetite..."

Concubine Zhuang said: "If you don't have an appetite, you have to eat a little, just have a few sips, okay?"

Huang Taiji shook his head: "I want to be quiet."

If Yang Menglong were there, he would definitely say: "If Jingjing isn't here, it's useless to think about it!" But Concubine Zhuang didn't know this stalk, and she was still persuading her, but Huang Taiji didn't eat it, and it was useless for her to shed tears in the end. He had no choice but to back out holding the bird's nest.

At this time, Concubine Chen came over and asked softly, "Is King Khan still refusing to eat?"

Concubine Zhuang said with tears: "Sister, please persuade King Khan, he hasn't eaten for two days!"

Concubine Chen said, "I'll give it a try." She took the bird's nest and walked in. When she came to the bed, she bowed and said, "I, my concubine, see you, King Khan."

Huang Taiji didn't even open his eyes, and said, "Is Concubine Chen here? Sit down quickly, and talk to me."

Concubine Chen is also Hai Lanzhu, a well-known beauty from the Horqin tribe, with a beautiful face and a snow-like complexion, gentle and pleasant. Huang Taiji fell in love with her at first sight. In April this year, he sent Duoduo and Dorgon to personally lead a huge wedding reception team to her. Horqin took her to Shenyang and held a big wedding.This year, Hai Lanzhu was 27 years old. According to the Central Plains woman, she had reached the age of senility, but the years and the wind and frost of Mongolia did not leave any traces on her body. On the contrary, as she grew older, she became more and more mature. She looked beautiful, and possessed the calmness and calmness that Concubine Zhuang never had after going through hardships. Being with her, Huang Taiji felt very relaxed for the first time.Yes, in front of her, he doesn't need to maintain his majesty as King Khan anymore, he doesn't need to calculate, analyze the gains and losses, this feeling can only be given to him by Concubine Chen.He has quite a few concubines, but most of them are political marriages, and they have no feelings for each other. He is only in love with Concubine Chen, and his love is far behind even the youngest and most beautiful Concubine Zhuang.However, Concubine Chen went back to her mother's house and didn't come back until now, so she couldn't comfort him when he was in the most pain and loss.Even so, he felt much better when he heard Concubine Chen's voice.

Concubine Chen sat at the head of the bed, gently wiped the sweat off Huang Taiji's face with her sleeve, and said softly: "King Khan, don't be sad anymore, isn't it just a defeat and some people were lost? Find a way Just win again, what's the big deal? Although those two generals of the Ming army are powerful, they can't keep winning, as long as King Khan doesn't give up, they will become your defeat sooner or later."

Huang Taiji smiled wryly, and said, "Hai Lanzhu, you don't need to comfort me. As early as on the banks of the Daling River, when I saw the cavalry of the Wuyang Army and Tianxiong Army rushing towards our army's formation under the rain of arrows, I felt Not good. This disastrous defeat, I have a premonition, the Ming army is getting stronger, the morale of the Ming army is improving, it is too difficult to win them again."

Concubine Chen said: "How many times did Genghis Khan lose battles in his life, how many times did he betray his relatives, and how many times his entire army was wiped out? But he survived and finally conquered the whole world! King Khan, you are Genghis Khan of the Manchu and Mongolian races, and I The greatest king in my heart, you just lost a battle, how can you admit defeat? Come, drink this cup of bird's nest, and then accompany your courtiers and concubines to the paddock to shoot eagles and compete, and forget all your unhappiness."

Huang Taiji was silent for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes, and smiled: "So in Hai Lanzhu's eyes, I am a figure who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Genghis Khan, so I really can't act like a child and let Hai Lanzhu down." It's gone." Sitting up, took the bird's nest, and ate it clean after a few mouthfuls.

Concubine Chen smiled sweetly: "That's right!" She said to the maids and eunuchs who were waiting on the side: "Go and cook a bowl of gruel, and serve it with some light and delicious side dishes, King Khan is hungry!"

The court ladies responded: "Cha!" and hurried to work.

The porridge and side dishes were served quickly, and Huang Taiji devoured it like a voracious eater.Not to mention, after a few mouthfuls, the overwhelming sense of hunger hit him, and he really couldn't take it anymore.Concubine Chen kept picking up vegetables into his bowl with chopsticks, and while she was eating, the eunuch came in and reported, "King Khan, Lord Fan please see me!"

Huang Taiji frowned: "Fan Wencheng?" Putting down his chopsticks, he sighed: "Even having a meal with peace of mind is so difficult, please invite him in."

Fan Wencheng rushed in, his eyes first fell on the leftover porridge and side dishes, he was very surprised, knelt down and kowtowed: "The servant sees King Khan!"

Huang Taiji said: "Fan Aiqing, please."

Fan Wencheng said: "The servant disturbed King Khan's meal, and I hope King Khan will forgive him!"

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Fan Aiqing, I heard you have something urgent?"

Fan Wencheng said: "The secret work in the capital sent back important information..." He took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over.Huang Taiji took it over, opened it, and read it word by word, his complexion changed slightly, and after a long time, he closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "Yang Menglong, Governor Huguang, and Lu Xiangsheng, Governor Xuanda, almost all the thirteen provinces in the north and south of Ming Dynasty belong to these two people. Under the control of the famous general..."

Fan Wencheng said: "According to the servants, Yang Menglong has no threat to my Dajin for the time being. On the contrary, Lu Xiangsheng guards Xuanda. Once he completes the Gyeonggi defense line, I will be very sad if Dajin breaks in! "

Huang Taiji smiled wryly: "No threat? He is the most threatening man in the civil and military dynasties of the Ming Dynasty! In the Battle of Daling River, who would have thought that a small commander like him would lead the Wuyang Army, which had been formed for less than two years, to drive three thousand miles?" Who would have thought that he would dare to lead Denglai's new army, which had been formed for less than a year, across the sea to the north in the Battle of Lushun, and almost wiped out our entire army?"

When he mentioned the Battle of Port Arthur, he became extremely excited. This tragic defeat had become a scar in his heart, and it hurt every time he touched it.

Fan Wencheng hurriedly said: "King Khan, in the battle of Lushun, almost all the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were dispatched, and the soldiers in front underestimated the enemy. It is normal to have small setbacks. King Khan need not be so worried."

Huang Taiji let out a strong breath, ignored Fan Wencheng, and just muttered to himself: "Governor Lu Xiangsheng Xuan Da, who is also in charge of the military affairs of the five northern provinces, what will he do next? Right now, Da Jin is newly defeated, and the whole country is in shock. Centrifugal, he will not let go of this golden opportunity, he will..."

An ancient poem suddenly flashed in my mind:
Severe wind blows frost and seaweed withers, and the backbone is strong and strong.

The Han family has 30 soldiers, and the general also leads Huo Biaoyao.

Meteor White Feather is inserted into the waist, and the sword flower Qiu Lianguang is out of the box.

The soldiers of the heavens shone down on the Jade Pass under the snow, and the captive arrows shot at the golden armor like sand.

……

These few words are like a turbulent wave, full of floating clouds, heroic and generous, which makes people's blood boil, but to him, they are almost like a reminder.For thousands of years, it has been the highest honor that every general of the Han family has pursued in his life.Now that Lu Xiangsheng has a desperately strong elite soldier in his hands, and he has the support of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, will he give up the chance to win this honor?

The epic scene of "Heavenly Soldiers Shining Snow on Jade Pass" is about to unfold, and the nightmare deduced in his mind is about to be staged.

Is it true that Dajin's luck is going to end here?
Not reconciled!

Huang Taiji gritted his teeth in Shenyang, while Yang Menglong, Lu Xiangsheng, Qin Liangyu and others said goodbye cheerfully outside the capital.All the rewards that should be taken have been received, and the officials that should be appointed are also sealed. The Tianxiong Army will return to Daming Road, the Guanmen Sichuan Army will return to Sichuan to lick their wounds, and the Heluo Xin Army will also go home. After all, they have left their hometown. It's been several months, and it would be shameful not to go back.The Guanmen Sichuan army and Tianxiong army went back by land, while Yang Menglong took his troops back by sea boat. This kid was so lazy that he would not walk even if he had a boat.Yang Menglong said with a smile: "Aunt Qin, Brother Lu, I won't say anything superfluous. I will hold a grand event in Nanyang to celebrate this great victory. You are welcome to attend."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Definitely participate! Why didn't you invite us to hold the sports event last year? Are you afraid that we will snatch all the gold medals and make you lose face?"

Yang Menglong snorted: "I'm afraid? I was afraid that you would be scared and dare not come, so I didn't call you!"

Qian Yu was very upset: "Are we cowardly? Are you kidding me!" He patted the horse under his crotch, "I specially selected the best horse from the captured horses. This year's race horse, I will definitely win the championship!"

Xue Siming said: "Dream! First ask my fellow Wuyun Treading Snow if he agrees!"

Zhong Ning said: "My Jinghong is not a vegetarian either! Last year he was careless and let that Mongolian guy take the lead. This year he won't have such good luck!"

Cao Jun said: "This year's archery championship belongs to me, don't let anyone compete with me!"

A large group of young generals raised their middle fingers at him, even Qin Yiming was no exception: "You said what is yours is yours?"

Qin Liangyu smiled and said, "It's quite lively, I feel itchy all over my body."

Yang Menglong said: "Aunt Qin is also welcome to bring people to participate. You guys from Sichuan will definitely win the first place in the long-distance race!"

Qin Liangyu said: "We must go when the time comes!" He bowed his hands to Yang Menglong and said, "Champion Marquis, thank you for the weapons and armor you donated to me. I will find a way to return the money to you when I turn around."

Yang Menglong curled his lips: "Isn't it too strange? How much is this weapon worth? Just take it and use it. If it's not enough, send someone over and tell me, and I'll send it to you!"

Qin Liangyu said: "The accounts still need to be clear." The equipment Yang Menglong provided for the Sichuan army was excellent, which I had never seen in my life, and each piece was valuable, so she felt embarrassed to ask for it for nothing.What's worse is that her land is very poor, where can she get money for Yang Menglong.

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "General Qin, you can keep it. This kid has so much money that he has no place to spend it. If you are polite to him, he will just say that you look down on him." Pulling Yang Menglong aside, he said in a low voice: "I It is planned to double the size of the Musketeers, and form an artillery force with [-] howitzers and [-] rocket launchers to ensure that Mongolia will be conquered in one battle. Only in this way, the supply of gun cotton in Daimyodo will not be available It's..."

Yang Menglong slapped his chest fiercely: "Leave it on me! You just feel free to fight. I will deliver the cannons and gun cotton you need on time and in full to ensure that you have enough ammunition!"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Thank you very much!" He didn't want to tell Yang Menglong, because the production of nitric acid was too small, only a little over one ton per month. Nice granules of gunpowder kicked into the sea, the devil uses this shit!As a result, the demand for gun cotton has greatly increased, and the supply is in short supply.Fortunately, a nitrate mine with considerable reserves was discovered in Handan, which alleviated the plight of the shortage of nitrate and low grade, and the production of nitric acid in Damingdo will greatly increase... But it is still not enough!I had no choice but to find Yang Menglong to fight the autumn wind.Fortunately, Yang Menglong agreed without hesitation, fully supporting him unconditionally.

This is destined to fail the Wenchen Group's wishful thinking of digging a hole for them and turning them against each other.Those guys have no idea what gentlemanly friendship is and what comradeship is.

A group of soldiers stood side by side on the battlefield, fought bloody battles, and finally bid farewell to the soldiers who died triumphantly. Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu led the Tianxiong Army and the Guanmen Sichuan Army respectively, and set foot on the way home amidst the endless thanks and cherished voices of the people along the way.After watching them go away, Yang Menglong was in high spirits, and said to the soldiers of Heluo New Army and Denglai New Army: "Go, let's go home!"

All the soldiers cheered loudly: "Go home! Go home!" They sailed toward Tianjin, where the ships were already ready and waiting for them to come.
