Chang Yu is very good at telling stories. He even thinks that his eloquence is as good as that of Qianmen Dashilan storyteller. Moreover, he is more profound because he is immersed in the scene. He spent half an hour eloquently talking about everything after leaving the city, one by one. Emperor Chongzhen Listening to the audience, sometimes he would shake his fist to express his anger, but he would raise his eyebrows in concentration, sometimes he would look worried, and sometimes he would feel regretful...
"Destroyed his troops and killed nearly a thousand enemies." Chang Yu made the final decision. Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said, "Great victory, great victory, great victory!" Then Chang Yu said in front of Chang Yu: "I live in the imperial city, but I don't know that the war is so dangerous, and the soldiers are so brave and fearless. , there is hope for Ming Dynasty!”
Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Three feet of ice did not freeze in a day. The weak national strength of our Ming Dynasty and the slackness of the military are also caused by the years. Officials are corrupt, generals are afraid of death, and soldiers are afraid of war. Now in a few months, it has finally The soldiers who have changed are fearless and work together to serve the country. In this battle, Li Yan's troops were the first to bear the brunt. He would rather fight to the death than retreat. His troops could not form an army for ten to four or five years. The Tengxiang Guards and Jinwu Guards fought for the honor of the Ming Dynasty. They fought bloody battles without a stick of incense. Back off!”
"They are all good, they are all good." Emperor Chongzhen clenched his fists: "If the soldiers have this kind of bloody spirit, our Ming Dynasty will be prosperous!" He said and patted Chang Yu hard: "And you, the leader Gong! If it weren’t for you, all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would be like Liu Zeqing! The Ming Dynasty would have perished long ago!”
This was the first time that Emperor Chongzhen faced the worry of national subjugation. According to the prince's dream, the Ming Dynasty had long been subjugated by this time. The reason why this has been delayed until now is because this little eunuch in front of him rewrote the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty!
"I dare not take credit. All of this was the result of the concerted efforts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers! I hope that the emperor will reward the meritorious ministers and not let the soldiers feel cold!" Chang Yu said and bowed down, and Chongzhen raised his hand to support him: " How can I not reward you for your merits? Not only do you do good, but you also reward them heavily. When you come back to Dongchang, make a list and I will reward you one by one!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank the Emperor on behalf of the soldiers." Chang Yu bowed again. Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, shook his head gently and said, "I didn't expect that you are not only good at fighting, but also good at reading people. When you recruited Li Yanshi, I had the intention to kill him as a warning to the world, but I finally spared his life for your sake, but I never imagined that he could be so loyal and brave!"
"Li Yan went astray back then because he had no way to serve the country. Now after joining the imperial court, he is determined to serve. He is a versatile and loyal man who is definitely not like Liu Zeqing. There are few good generals nowadays. If the emperor treats him kindly, he will Day by day, it will become a great weapon to protect you from wind and rain, and even expand your territory!"
"You speak so highly of him, aren't you afraid that I will reuse him and neglect you?" Emperor Chongzhen smiled half-heartedly.
Chang Yu said seriously: "Your Majesty, do you think I am the kind of person who wants to take credit and strive for favor?"
Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly said: "Don't take my joke seriously. Your loyalty to me and the Ming Dynasty can be seen from the daylight! Again, if you don't let me down, I will definitely not let you down!"
Chang Yu was grateful for his kindness, but Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be interested in the surrendered thieves because of Li Yan, so he asked: "Do you have a man named Hao Yaoqi under your command? I heard he was very brave in battles."
Chang Yu nodded: "He is already well-known among the bandits. He is a fierce general who can cut off generals among thousands of troops. If he hadn't been there yesterday, I might not have been able to escape!"
so smart? Emperor Chongzhen was surprised: "Is there anyone in our army who can match us?"
"There are few opponents in the army when it comes to charging alone, but there are two people under my command who should be able to compete with them. One of them is Tu Yuan, the commander of the Black Tiger Camp, and the other is Ji Jike, a straggler. But when it comes to fists and kicks, I can defeat them." There are many of them!"
Emperor Chongzhen exclaimed: "You have a lot of talented generals under your command!" Chang Yu quickly said: "They are all working for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty." Chongzhen laughed: "Don't be nervous, I am praising you for your sharp eyesight and knowing people, not doubting you. " He asked again: "Is there still an injured thief general in Dongchang Prison?"
"Liu Tichun" Chang Yu responded quickly. He was the one who wounded Liu Tichun in Taiyuan and then took him to the capital and sent him to the imperial prison for treatment. He also mentioned it to Chongzhen at that time. At this time, he asked again: "If you keep Liu Tichun but don't kill him, could this person be the same?" He is a fierce general." To be honest, he became more and more curious about Chang Yu. He was the leader of thieves. Some of them would be killed as soon as they were caught, and some would go to great lengths to save their lives. Does this kid really have the ability to read people?
"Although bravery is not enough, loyalty is more than enough." Chang Yu said this with a guilty conscience. In the past, he had heard from hearsay and even read some information. He talked about many generals in the rebel army who joined forces with the Southern Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty after Li Zicheng's death. He fought against the Qing Dynasty alone, including Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tiren and others, so he had always been open to these people and tried to conquer them, but just the day before yesterday, he suddenly remembered that he had kept in the Forbidden City a piece of governor-general of eight provinces. Tong Yanghe's memorial clearly states that all of these thieves surrendered to him, and he proudly made a statistics: he surrendered "four Hous, two Bos, two generals, three lieutenants, There are 224,050 officers and soldiers."
Chang Yu was confused at this moment. Which one is true? Even if Tong Yanghe had the guts, he would not dare to confuse Emperor Shunzhi. However, as a human being, he would no longer be able to go through the information and research, so he could only keep it for a while and then talk about it. Bar.
"Loyalty is a good thing. What the Ming Dynasty lacks right now is loyal people." Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said, "But is his loyalty to thieves or to me? How do you know?"
"He is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and also loyal to the emperor." Chang Yu said quickly: "He told me personally that he had long wanted to serve the country, but he was powerless as a thief. Li Yan can testify about this." In order to save Liu Tichun's life, Chang Yu had to Pulling Li Yan into the water, but otherwise how could he tell Emperor Chongzhen at this time? Could it be that I checked the information before and said that he died fighting to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, so his life was spared?
Liu Tichun, Liu Tichun, I will save your life today. If you fail me in the future, you will be cut into pieces, Chang Yu thought in his heart.
Emperor Chongzhen had a particularly good impression of Li Yan at this time, and since he had great trust in him, Chang Yu also believed him: "Let's see what he does in the future." He took a sip from the teacup and turned the topic to the war: "This battle is a great victory, the Qing Dynasty will win." It is difficult for the army to stay for a long time after being wounded. You should take advantage of the victory and chase them out of the pass." He said with a long sigh: "It is a pity that they were allowed to escape and could not be completely wiped out. However, the Tatars have always been fierce, and you have done your best. Li... it would be more difficult just to escape to the south..."
Speaking of this, Chang Yu couldn't help but feel lucky. At that time, he only talked about the plan to encircle and annihilate the enemy, and did not utter wild words about total annihilation, let alone the plan he later concocted with Li Muxian to let the Qing army flee north.
Otherwise, he would not be manipulated by Emperor Chongzhen at this time, and would also be used as an attack point by the cabinet ministers in the future, but even so, he felt that Emperor Chongzhen was slightly dissatisfied!
"Your Majesty, great victory!" Chang Yu suddenly said this again. He said the word "great victory" many times tonight.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at him and nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, a great victory, I must know how to be content..." Tu's eyes narrowed: "Could it be..."
"Li Yanbu captures Prince Azig of the Tatars!"
With a bang, Emperor Chongzhen stood up suddenly and accidentally knocked over the tea cup on the table. Chang Yu felt a heartache in his heart, blue and white...
"You boy, you have learned to respect my taste. I know if it were not so, how could you come back all night? Azige, Azige, the prince of the Gou Tatars..." Emperor Chongzhen was very excited and walked back and forth in the palace. It’s no wonder that he still looks like a ninety-five-year-old man. Think about how the Ming Dynasty was bullied by the Qing Dynasty in the past ten years. Not to mention being beaten and robbed, the loyal ministers and generals in the army were captured and killed. There are countless people, but no one feels more aggrieved and resentful than Emperor Chongzhen!
But now, Kuang Shan has infuriated the Tatars and captured their prince. He is still a very important prince. How can Emperor Chongzhen not be overjoyed!
No one can sit still!
"Where is this animal now?"
"We are being escorted from the Dongchang Black Wolf Camp to the capital," Chang Yu said quickly, but Emperor Chongzhen became anxious: "The Black Wolf Camp only has two to three hundred people, how can we take on such an important task? You are too careless."
"Your Majesty, the Black Wolf Battalion is the most valiant and skilled force under my command. Wearing heavy armor, it can fight several times the enemy's force. It should be no problem for them to take the west route!"
Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried. He immediately asked Wang Cheng'en to pass the order to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Wu Mengming, and let him personally lead the Jinyi Guards to meet him. Then, he was still worried and asked Wang Jiayan to send a troop of troops and horses to help. Chang Yu was dumbfounded nearby. Is this the case?
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen pumped his fist vigorously and kept shouting: "Great victory, great victory, this is a great victory!" His excitement continued to rise.
Chang Yu had to pour cold water on him: "Your Majesty, the main force of the Tatars is fleeing south..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen: "With Azig in hand, he still can't obey orders, let him If he comes back, come back and tell him to get out, and he will get out!"
It can be seen that the first moment Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he thought of using Azig as a hostage to force Dorgon to obey.
However, these were the years when Chang Yu and Li Muxian had already thought of it but abandoned it, so they said: "Your Majesty, what if Dorgon uses this as a threat?"
Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand for a moment: "What is he threatening? What can he threaten me with?" Fortunately, he is also a smart man. He suddenly thought of the key, and his face suddenly darkened: "Tatars will do this Shameless?"
Chang Yu was silent.
"Wang Cheng'en, please quickly send the first and second auxiliary princes to the palace to discuss matters!" Emperor Chongzhen finally discovered that this sweet pastry was a double-edged sword. If he accidentally injured the enemy, it could also cut his own hand.
"Is this the reason why you returned to Beijing in person?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Chang Yu and smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can you be so smart? If you hadn't reminded me, I would still be here."
Huh... Chang Yu secretly exhaled. Throughout the night, he had been waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to say this and take the initiative to reveal that he actually returned to Beijing to discuss how to deal with and use Azig.
Otherwise, for a great victory, a messenger could be sent to announce the good news, and there would be no need for him to run all the way back all night, let alone when the situation ahead was complicated and required him to be in charge. This will surely make people wonder what he is hiding!
Although Li Muxian and others felt that this was a great victory without any doubt, Chang Yu knew in his heart that it was only a partial victory. After all, he had made a strategic mistake by underestimating the enemy. Otherwise, the Qing army would be encircled and forced back into the pass. great victory.
Perhaps because he was too strict with himself, and in order to prevent his political opponents from making a fuss about it, he had to return to Beijing in person to announce the good news, and he also had to give a good reason to prevent others from seeing through his true intentions, and Azig was the one who Good reason!
