Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

I don't know who is flute in the sky, blowing down the Qionghua all over the world.

The cold wind was howling and the snow was flying, and under the white vastness of the world, a cavalry across several states and counties was galloping in the snow, which was extremely conspicuous.

"Your Highness Qiqi, the front found traces of being looted by the Qing army in Yanshen Town!" Zhu

Cihong heard the report of the herald who rushed over, and he determined the route of Dolgon's escape, which was similar to what he thought, it seemed that the other party had already made contact with Huang Taiji and planned to pick up Dolgon and others by sea.

When everyone came to Yanshen Town, all the houses had been burned down, everything had been looted, and anger was vented everywhere, as if it was the anger of Dorgon's defeat.

"Your Highness, I haven't found a living mouth, and I'm afraid it's been several days since the corpse stiffened.

Gao Yi searched the town, and rode his horse to Zhu Cihong's side to report.

"Chase!" Zhu

Cihong looked at all this with a cold look in his eyes.

Soon, thousands of cavalry were speeding forward again.

"Your Highness Qiqi, Linqu (qu) ahead can be replenished!" "

Near evening, Zhu Cihong and others entered the city to replenish, they did not bring much grain and grass, and they still had to be supplied at any time, fortunately, he had the foresight, the money was enough, and he planned to buy it in the city, and he did not plan to ask the local government to requisition.

Dengzhou capital.

Because Phi Dao was breached by the Qing army, in order to prevent the Qing army from attacking the Shandong coast, Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, has been supervising the strengthening of the coastal defense line here.

"Lord Futai, an officer and soldier are here with the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Just

as Yang Wenyue was studying the coastal defense map, a man in a blue official uniform hurriedly ran in.

"

His Royal Highness the Prince's edict?" Yang Wenyue was shocked when he heard this, he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was now confronting the Qing army in Jinan, he wanted to send troops over to support, and by the way, he met His Royal Highness the Prince, but he was all refused, he didn't expect this edict to come to him.

He also knew that in the great battle between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Qing army, several of the disobedient soldiers were killed, and when he heard that His Royal Highness was looking for him, he couldn't help but panic.

"Governor Yang Wenyue of Denglai, receive the order of His Royal Highness the Prince!" At

this moment, a soldier covered in wind and snow ran in outside, holding a booklet in his hand, and shouted loudly as soon as he walked into the house.

"Yang Wenyue, the governor of Chendenglai, receives the order of His Royal Highness the Prince!" Yang Wenyue

immediately tidied up his clothes, and then knelt down to receive the order, and the officials on the side also quickly knelt down, but he was not qualified to sign up for the official position, because the will was not given to him.

"The Qing army Dolgon led more than 2,000 defeated troops to flee eastward, which means to escape by sea, and specially ordered Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, to strictly guard the sea line, and all ships were not allowed to enter and exit until they found the remnants of Dolgon, and then sent troops to search for the remnants of the Qing army from east to west, and annihilated the Qing army from the east and west!"

Yang Wenyue stood up, took the booklet, and then personally led 5,000 people to launch a large-scale search from east to west, fortunately, the Qing army fled all the way, and did not forget to loot villages and towns, and the local government received Yang Wenyue's order, and immediately reported it.

Finally, in the territory of Laizhou Prefecture, the remnants of Dolgon were found.

Ten days later.

"Your Highness, Yang Wenyue's letter, the remnants of Dolgon have been found in Laishan, Laizhou Mansion, and they are taking 5,000 people to block it in Laishan.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he finally showed a faint smile on his face, he had been looking for half a month, but Dolgon didn't find it, and he only saw those villages and towns that were looted by Dolgon along the way, and his mood was already gloomy to the extreme.

If Dolgon had enough food and grass, and then kept a low profile along the way, he might really be able to run away, but there was not enough food and grass, so he had to constantly loot villages and towns to feed and drink the war horses, but in this case, it would be easy to expose his whereabouts.

Moreover, the other party also miscalculated, but he didn't expect Zhu Cihong to be able to resolve their conspiracy, and he was able to block the city gate with a hundred people, so that the army had time to rush into the city, and then he found that Dolgon dug a tunnel to escape, and chased all the way, otherwise, it would not constitute a condition to find Dolgon.

Because, without Zhu Cihong's order, even if some state and county officials found out that there was a Qing army nearby, they would not dare to cause trouble, and Yang Wenyue did not know this, let alone send someone to search.

It can only be said that the time is also fate, and he Zhu Cihong is here, just to change his life against the sky!"

Zhu Cihong said, and said: "Send an order to Yang Wenyue, so that he should not take the liberty of engaging the Qing army head-on, contain it, and keep the Qing army immediately." "

Order!" the

three heralds immediately rode out on their horses.

Ten days later.

Zhu Cihong's 10,000 horsemen finally arrived at Laishan day and night.

Laishan is not high, nor is it big, but it is rugged on all sides, with a sand river in the north, and surrounded by 5,000 people led by Yang Wenyue in the front, Dolgon can say that there is no way to escape this time.

"Minister Yang Wenyue see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Yang Wenyue

finally met this rumored His Royal Highness the Prince.

"The remnants of Dolgon are inside, haven't they come out?"

Zhu Cihong dismounted and walked into the tent, looking at Laishan in front of him with a clairvoyant mirror at the door.

"Back to His Royal Highness, I have come out to break through a few times, but the other party seems to be very tired, and our army is not fighting frontally, it is all contained, so the other party has not succeeded in breaking through, so he retreated back to the mountain.

Yang Wenyue said.

"Gao Yi, order the whole army to rest.

Zhu Cihong looked at the sky, turned around and walked into the tent, in such a cold weather, Dolgon may not feel good on the mountain, maybe he will be frozen half to death.

However, the news of their arrival must have reached Dorgon's ears, and it must have been on the hill to be on guard, and the trap might have been dug up.

Therefore, in order to be sure, it is best to attack in the early morning, and when Dorgon and the others are drowsy, they are the most sleepy at this time, and they will be caught off guard when the time comes.

The minister immediately built additional tents and requisitioned grain and grass from Pingdu Prefecture.

Yang Wenyue immediately stood up.

"Yang Zaixing.

Zhu Cihong took out a bag of gold from his arms and put it on the table, looked at Yang Zaixing again, and said, "Take a thousand taels of gold to Yang Wenyue." "

Subordinate orders.

When Yang Zaixing heard this, he immediately went out, took the money bag containing gold from the soldiers, and quickly collected a thousand taels of gold, and each of their 10,000 horsemen carried a bag of gold, which was used to settle the bill when they were replenished on the road.

"You don't have to deal with the government, you need money to buy it.

Zhu Cihong looked at Yang Wenyue and said: "You go in person, if the officials of Pingdu Prefecture dare to take this opportunity to get oil and water from the people, they will directly cut off their heads and raid their homes." "

In the inner treasury of the local government, there are stored grain and treasury silver for reserve, he doesn't want to call it over, when the time comes, the government will still levy it on the people to fill the shortfall, which is not what Zhu Cihong wants to see.

"Commandment.

Yang Wenyue took the money bag with someone and immediately rushed to a nearby state city to purchase supplies for the 10,000 horsemen brought by His Royal Highness.

"Send a team of scouts into the mountain, not to find Dorgon's location, but to see if there are any traps or anything on the way into the mountain.

Zhu Cihong walked to the brazier, looked at the heavy snow outside, and thought to himself, if you solve Dolgon, then Huang Taiji will be equivalent to breaking an arm, and he is already a half-crippled body, and when he makes Daming gasp, it will be much easier to deal with Jiannu after that.

"The last general commanded.

Yang Zaixing turned around and left, and then scattered towards Laishan with a hundred people, and as soon as he reached the section of the mountain, he carefully probed the ground with a spear and whether there were traps in the surrounding snowdrifts.

Night.

Zhu Cihong put on cotton clothes, put on heart armor, put on a helmet, and stood at the foot of Lai Mountain, looking at the moonlight.

Ugly time. (Around two o'clock in the morning.)

"This is the time to sleep, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the best time to kill.

Zhu Cihong smiled faintly.

"Your Highness, you have to go up the mountain yourself, it's too dangerous.

When Yang Wenyue on the side saw Zhu Cihong's appearance, he knew that His Royal Highness was going to personally lead the troops up the mountain, so he immediately said worriedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, if something happens, he will not be able to atone for this sin.

"It's fine.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and directly ordered: "The whole army will go up the mountain and encircle and suppress the remnants of Dolgon!" More

than 10,000 people immediately walked slowly towards the mountain, stepping on the snow, trying not to make too much noise, so as not to alarm the opposing army, and it is best not to have any damage.

Two hours later, the remnants of Dolgon were found at the top of the mountain, more than 2,000 men.
