Chapter 82 Encountering the Ming Army Night
Liu Ce was originally an aide to Ye Xianggao of the Donglin Party. During the Tianqi period, he was persecuted by the eunuch party and was stripped of his official position. After Emperor Chongzhen overthrew the eunuch party, Liu Ce was rehabilitated and regained again. Who knew that Liu Ce was too disappointed Emperor Chongzhen. The foreign righteous men mentioned the news that the Jin army had invaded, and Da'ankou was also prepared. However, Liu Ce was frightened by the Jin army and abandoned the city guards and fled with the general Zhang Shixian, which led to the easy capture of Da'ankou by the Later Jin.
"Liu Ce, Zhang Shixian, beheaded!" Chongzhen said hatefully.
The Donglin Party members who had originally tried to protect Liu Ce during the Tianqi period and the Donglin Party members who had a good relationship with Liu Ce, now no one dared to stand up and say a word to Liu Ce. Liu Ce has become a bunch of shit, and it is still the kind of steaming. Every upright Donglin Party member has to separate his relationship with this greedy and fearful death.
"Your Majesty, please kill Yuan Chonghuan!" The censor Gao Jie suddenly stood up.
Shi Qi also stood up: "I commented on it! Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong without authorization, and discussed peace without authorization, and should be killed by the crime! If Mao Shuai was there and Jiannu was attacked behind him, how could he invade the capital!"
Wang Yongguang, the Minister of Personnel, also stood up and reported: "I will discuss it! Please kill Yuan Chonghuan!"
Afterwards, all the ministers were kneeling, and the court officials had a surprisingly unanimous opinion, and they all asked Chongzhen to kill Yuan Chonghuan.
After hearing what the ministers said, Chongzhen also said angrily: "In the fifth year of pacifying Liao, all the people have arrived in the capital! This son forged an edict to kill our general, and he also proposed peace with Jiannu without authorization, so he should be lingchi!"
The chief assistant Han Yu stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, Jiannu will arrive in the capital, and I will ask Your Majesty to raise Sun Chengzong to restore him."
The ministers agreed, saying that only Sun Chengzong could resist Jiannu.
So Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict: "I ordered Sun Chengzong to enter the capital immediately, and be appointed as the governor of Ji Liao and the crown prince's chief stern, and the Minister of War."
After Sun Chengzong entered the capital, Emperor Chongzhen met Sun Chengzong. After that, Emperor Chongzhen first asked Sun Chengzong to govern the internal and external military affairs in the capital and plan for strategy. So Sun Chengzong asked the chief assistant Han Du to build a defense, and then went to various parts of the capital to patrol. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night the next day, Zhu Youjian suddenly issued an order to ask Sun Chengzong to guard Tongzhou.
Sun Chengzong then led twenty-seven cavalry out of Dongbianmen and headed straight for Tongzhou.
Li Laoer, who had arrived five miles east of Jizhou City, hid in a nearby woods and rested.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Jin army, Li Laoer ordered that a fire be prohibited. The soldiers wrapped in thick cotton armor and took out the fried noodles that Li Laoer had invented from the dry food bag, swallowed a mouthful of fried noodles with snow, then took out the braised horse meat from the food bag, cut it with a knife, and put it into their mouths.
Li Laoer looked at the tired soldiers and said with distress: "Brothers, I have suffered with me, Li! Other horse thieves are robbing families and eating delicious food. You follow me, but you are fighting to kill Jiannu and killing Hanjian! Maybe someone will ask, how many benefits will we get when we fight with Jiannu?"
Zhang Wei replied loudly: "Brother, I, Old Zhang, is a rough man and doesn't know how to speak, but my heart is like a bright light. If it weren't for you, we Han people who escaped from the Great Wall would have died on the grassland outside the Great Wall!"
Many of the cavalrymen were originally herd slaves from Lin Dan Khan's tribe, and everyone also expressed: "If it weren't for the eldest brother, we would still be outside the Great Wall to make cattle and horses for the Mongols."
Li Lao Er signaled everyone to be quiet, and then took out a hard-frozen Jin soldier's head from a bag: "Brothers, I, Li Lao Er, took everyone to kill Jiannu just to keep such ugly money rat-tail braids like Jiannu! Everyone, you have also seen that all the Ming army who surrendered Jiannu were ordered to shave their hair and keep their braids! If one day, the land of China fell, Jiannu would force each of us to shave their hair and keep their braids! And turn each of us into slaves! That's not what we want! We don't want our ancestors to see our ancestors a hundred years later, and we don't want our descendants to be slaves to Jiannu! Are you willing?"
"I don't want to!" More than 600 soldiers said in unison.
Li Lao Er nodded: "Brothers, today I want to take you back to Ming Dynasty with you, just to give your brothers a home! After all, we are Han people, and the grassland outside the border is not our home, and this Ming Dynasty is our hometown. For various reasons, we cannot go back. Now that we have the Jiannu head, we can return to Ming Dynasty with credit! We can go home!"
"My family is in Shanxi, and I want to go home and get a wife." said a soldier about seventeen years old.
"Don't worry, my wife will have it! Brothers, follow me, Mr. Li, I will definitely not treat you badly! Mr. Li will definitely bring you all the wives and children! If you have wealth and honor in the future, you will have a share!"
It was late at night, and six hundred brothers snuggled together and fell asleep. Li Laoer did not fall asleep. He looked at the snow outside the woods and thought to himself: This time, people from the court needed to recruit him. The hundreds of Jiannu heads, as well as the golden sword and waist card of Manguertai, were of extraordinary achievements. The so-called great victory of the Ming army in fact only beheaded hundreds. I killed hundreds of Jiannu and also killed the captive chief Manguertai. There must be no problem with so many contributions to returning to Ming. But who are you going to meet? Can anyone recommend me to the court?
Five miles away, Li Laoer would definitely not vote for him. In Li Laoer's mind, Yuan Chonghuan was definitely guilty of being executed by Lingchi. Not to mention anything else, just saying that he would kill Mao Wenlong would never be cleaned. No matter how a certain beast named Yan was whitewashed in later generations, it would be impossible to clean it.
Although Li Laoer is not as extreme as some people's views, he believes that Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor who took the initiative to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, but because there was already conflict with Mao Wenlong, and he was defeated by Huang Taiji's plan, he killed Mao Wenlong. However, no matter what, it cannot change the serious consequences caused by Yuan Chonghuan's killing Mao Wenlong.
First of all, after Mao Wenlong's death, the great troubles of the Later Jin Dynasty were lifted and he could invade the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty without restraint; secondly, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong and sent three great Han jians to the Later Jin Dynasty. These two consequences were extremely serious.
Yuan Chonghuan is not allowed to go, so who should I go to?
Li Laoer suddenly thought of someone: Sun Chengzong!
Recalling this history, Li Laoer remembered that during the Jisi Incident, Sun Chengzong seemed to be guarding Tongzhou. Since that is the case, you can go to Tongzhou to try your luck.
"There are people outside!" Li Laoer suddenly heard something outside, and his nerves immediately tense up.
With the help of the moonlight, you can see more than ten war horses galloping past the snow outside. The knight on the horse was wearing ordinary sheepskin coats and felt hats, looking like an ordinary mountain village hunter. But inside the bulging coat, there seemed to be thick armor hidden.
"Liaodong will not accept it at night!" Li Laoer's first reaction was that he encountered the Guanning Army's Liaodong will not accept it at night!
