Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

The 3000 men that Ma Shilong led were the most skilled soldiers in the imperial army. It was not difficult for them to ride two horses, but the dozens of artillerymen did not have such great ability to ride one horse and lead another. , can only rely on the excellent riding skills to bring one more horse.Even so, on the way of pursuit, there must always be cavalry distracted to take care of the artillerymen.The momentum of the 500 horses running wildly was astonishing. Finally, when it was almost evening, they saw the backs of the [-] slaves in front of them, and the soldiers of the imperial army almost cheered.

Those who followed the Dege class never thought that one day they would be chased by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty on horseback.They don't have a rotation of war horses, and some people have gradually been unable to keep up with the brigade, and these people are running slower and slower. After leaving the team, they are ready to die by themselves and stop the Ming army with bows and arrows. Even if they shoot a few, one The falling of the Ming army will hinder the speed behind.

Ma Shilong understood the emperor's cherishment of the soldiers, so he immediately dispersed the soldiers and outflanked them from both sides. He also dismounted some of the gunners who were following the queue, and asked them to fire at Jiannu who was blocking the way in the middle.

After a few cannon shots, there were no Jurchen flag soldiers on the road who wanted to stop the Ming army.

The sky was getting dark, and finally the imperial army outflanking from both sides blocked the way of Dege class.

De Gelei handed over the eldest son to Ji Fujin, and raised his horse's long knife to charge.At this time, he no longer wanted to escape the pursuit and siege of the Ming army, and only thought of killing one to make enough money, and killing two to make money.

Ma Shilong blew his whistle, and the guards blocking the way spread out a little, and Dege saw more than a dozen artillery pieces aimed at them in front of them.When he wanted to charge to the left and right again, artillery was aimed at them from behind.

Ma Shilong looked at the young people surrounded by Nu/Erhaci who were dressed close to him and shouted loudly: "De Gelei, get off your horse and surrender. Your father Nu/Erhachi has already surrendered."

The news was unbelievable to Dege class.His proud father would rather die than surrender!But what Ma Shilong followed up broke his belief.

"De Gelei, in order not to detonate the explosives in Hetuala City in Yongling, what else can your father do but surrender? The two teams following you have already been reduced by the artillery bombardment. If you don???t believe me, come up and try.???

Dege raised his saber, and the moment the saber fell, his horse rushed forward.The Ming army aimed at his artillery head-on, and fired immediately without waiting for Ma Shilong's order.

In an instant, there were not many cavalry left among the three 500 cavalry.

Marquis Taining also rushed over with [-] soldiers when the gunfire sounded. He had the same heart as Ma Shilong. Being able to capture Jiannu's new Khan was the icing on the cake, and it was a pride that he could brag about for a lifetime.But the booming cannon shattered his dream, and he just sighed regretfully.Knowing that Ma Shilong's approach would win the approval of the emperor, to the emperor, a hundred rounds of shells would not be as precious as an unscathed soldier of the imperial army.

If Ma Shilong dared to use the soldiers of the imperial army to fight against Jiannu, with the sole purpose of capturing the new Khan of Jiannu, would he be asked by the emperor that it was too late to use artillery?

That's just for nothing!

The two commanded the soldiers to clean the station, and at the same time lit a bonfire to indicate their position to the army behind.After driving for a day on an empty stomach, no one cared about their own hunger and thirst, so they quickly took out hard goods such as fried soybeans prepared for the war horses from the bag, and fed their precious war horses half full before lighting the bonfire. Roast horse meat and bake cold and hard dry steamed buns to satisfy your hunger.

Because they wanted to ride with one person and two, the soldiers of the Chinese army whose horses were embezzled were left by Zhu Youxiao in the rear army's logistics team.At the second watch, the [-] Chinese troops who came with torches finally caught up and joined them.

Zhu Youxiao listened to Ma Shilong's report, watched him pointing in the direction of the wreckage of hundreds of people not far away, nodded in approval, and said that he would take a closer look at dawn, while saying that Ma Shilong could get a title for his military exploits.

Ma Shilong didn't know how to arrange his excited hands and feet.

But he still maintained a trace of clarity, remembering to explain to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is the Marquis of Taining who has given up the chance of the final blow to the last general."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Hou Zan of Taining and said: "He has his credit. The research and development of the artillery and the military exploits along the way, I will remember them for him. When Liaodong is pacified and the Nuer Gandu Division is restored, the imperial court will reward this man heavily." Soldiers who have made great achievements in this battle."

The guards around who heard the conversation of the monarch and his ministers couldn't help but burst into joy.

The [-] soldiers were divided into several piles according to the bonfire, and Zhu Youxiao was just wrapped in a cloak and surrounded by a few more circles of guards from the Imperial Army. spent the night.The next day, I also grabbed a little bit of Canxue and rubbed it on my face. When I went to see the remains of the Dege people, I could only distinguish a few pieces belonging to the Dege category from the clothing.

"Forget it, dig a hole in place and bury these people."

After one winter, the permafrost is almost three feet thick.Without the equipment of the rear army, it would be impossible to rely on the swords in the hands of these soldiers.

Marquis Taining asked the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, where are we going today? Yesterday morning Dege and the others were divided into several groups."

"Go back and join the rear army. We didn't bring food and grass, and the rear army didn't have enough cavalry to protect it. It would be ugly if there were any accidents."

Ma Shilong was taken aback for a moment, he thought that the emperor would choose which Jiannu to pursue.

Zhu Youxiao saw Ma Shilong's doubts, and explained to him: "In the past two days, after the pursuit, the number of Jiannu Xinli Dahan's men is just over ten thousand. It seems that the big gold has been disintegrated into more than a dozen shares. The strength of each strand will not be very strong, so that the imperial court will have enough strength to slowly eat away these people."

Ma Shilong and Marquis Taining immediately challenged and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead the army to eliminate these remnants of slavery in Liaodong."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, "We will discuss it after meeting with the rear army."

[-] cavalry and [-] horses walked back for a day, and after a little bit of darkness, they joined the rear army that followed them.The first thing after camping is to feed people and horses.

After everything was settled, Zhu Youxiao summoned the commander-in-chief Yang Lin, Ma Shilong, Taininghou and Dingguogong's sons to the imperial tent.

"Tomorrow Yang Lin will form a team with Marquis Taining, and Ma Shilong will form a team with Duke Dingguo. Each of you will lead half of your soldiers to wipe out the Jiannu who fled eastward."

Marquis Taining then asked, "Which group is Your Majesty following us?"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I will bring two thousand soldiers back to Beijing. I will leave the matter of Liaodong and Nuer Gandusi to you. The garrisons in Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Fengji have already been stationed in the British Crown Prince and Liu Qu. led them to recover Tieling and Fushun."

"Your Majesty, are two thousand soldiers a little short? Add another three to five thousand."

Ding Guogong's son hastily interjected.

"Where do we need so many people? From here to the city of Hetuala, we only took down the road. There is Xiong Tingbi in Fushun, Zhou Yongchun in Shenyang, and Zhang Quan in Liaoyang. After entering the customs, I will send some of them away." The soldiers are back. These soldiers will serve as my guards, why not let them follow you here to kill the enemy, that is good steel used on the blade."

The emperor insisted, but Taininghou and others could not.Early the next morning, the [-] Forbidden Army who followed Zhu Youxiao on their return journey only carried dry food for three or four days, and bid farewell to the army that continued eastward and returned westward.After walking for two days, they met the auxiliary army brigade delivering food and supplies. They knew that Zhang Quan and Zhou Yongchun had repatriated the people who had avoided disaster in Liaoyang and Shenyang in the winter, and started the new year's spring plowing.

Zhu Youxiao didn't go directly to Shenyang, but made a detour to Fushun, and stayed in Fushun city for one night, sighed with Xiong Tingbi while holding a candle, and explained to Xiong Tingbi his plan for Nuer Gandusi in detail.

"Xiong Qing, I know that you have great talent, so I will leave this area to you. In the end, whether you will be appointed as a marquis and minister, or whether you will return to Beijing early because you can't get along with the general who leads the army, depends on your personal choice."

Xiong Tingbi's face was flushed with a little flesh.

"Your Majesty, I know that I am too impatient. But it is really for the sake of the court."

Zhu Youxiao laughed, "Xiong Qing, I know that you are doing it for the imperial court. However, there are other ways to have the tolerance that a feudal official should have, besides using strictness to drive the counties and counties below into fear. If you can't figure it out, Just look at what Zhou Yongchun did."

Xiong Tingbi thought about it and said awkwardly: "Thank you for your guidance. I will try my best to meet your majesty's expectations. But can Zhou Mengtai be transferred to Nuer Gandu Division together?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded, "This can be considered, and Zhang Quan can also be transferred. The commanders-in-chief of Shenyang and Fengji will be under your command and continue to work with you in the future. The commanders-in-chief of Liaoyang , you also have to work hard to get along with them. Don???t forget Meng Yuan???s original intention of setting up the East Marshal???s Mansion. Those guards and post stations will also be restored step by step.???

Xiong Tingbi was very excited. According to the emperor's vision, he would accomplish a lot in this vast land.He secretly made up his mind that he would never disappoint the emperor's expectations, and make the emperor's vision a reality within ten years.

When Zhu Youxiao left Fushun, he left half of the two thousand forbidden troops to Xiong Tingbi.Where is Xiong Tingbi willing to accept him? His Majesty only brings one thousand imperial guards. What if something goes wrong?

"Xiong Qing, although I have brought thousands of people with me, there are no remnants of slavery between Shenyang and Fushun. Hurry up on the road, and you will enter Shenyang City tonight."

Xiong Tingbi thought that Shenyang and Fushun were indeed safe, so he sent the emperor and thousands of guards ten miles outside the city, and then reluctantly stopped to watch Qianqi's steed ride southward on the remaining snow.
