Buried where?
Zhu Chunchen was so frightened by Zhu Youjian's question that stars were popping up in his eyes. Where could he find so many corpses to show to the little emperor? The "dead" ones are all air soldiers, not even ashes, but corpses!
"Long live the Lord, there is no rush to collect the corpses of the martyrs. Now the slaves are still excavating the late emperor's tomb in Tianshou Mountain! Most of the officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp have been favored by the emperor. Seeing this situation, they are all furious and are willing to go forward for your majesty. The slaves are working hard!"
The person who helped Zhu Chunchen change the topic was Liu Kongzhao, the sincere uncle. After all, he was a descendant of Liu Bowen, and his mind was very fast.
Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Chunchen angrily again, "Zhu Chunchen, are you so angry?"
"Rush to the crown, rush to the crown... I must take the lead and fight against the slave thieves!" Zhu Chunchen had no choice but to grit his teeth and ask for a fight, "In this battle, either the slave will die, or I will die!"
His current crime is huge. Not only is he embezzling military pay, but he is also a current criminal who deceives the emperor! If the little emperor were to be held accountable, beheading would be an easy task.
And there is only one way to get away with it—become a loyal martyr!
No matter what Zhu Youjian did, he couldn't possibly punish a loyal man for his sins!
"What about you?" Zhu Youjian asked sharply.
A group of nobles who have been short-serving for generations have already seen the consequences of beheading and confiscating their homes!
At this time, fighting against slave thieves means a narrow escape from death. If you don't fight against slave thieves, it means death from ten or five lives.
"I will fight with the slaves and thieves!"
"I have received the emperor's favor in this life, and now I am willing to die to serve the country!"
"I am willing to take the lead..."
Zhu Youjian nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Okay! You are worthy of being honored ministers and noble relatives who have received the emperor's favor... I give you a chance! I will give you two hours to go back to your base camp to select heroes. There are thirty-six battalions, and each battalion must select at least 500, for a total of 18,000. In two hours, we will go out to kill Huang Taiji, and each of you will be chosen as the vanguard!"
After all, Zhu Youjian is a rare benevolent king. He does not want to kill all the corrupt nobles, but still wants to give them a chance to die for their country or make a new start. After all, becoming a noble is the greatest ideal of all warriors in the Ming Dynasty! If Zhu Youjian goes on a killing spree against the current group of nobles, then those military men in Jiubian Thirteen Towns who are still in charge of the military will tighten their grip on military power...
Later, Zhu Youjian lowered his tone again and said grimly: "I will personally supervise the battle... Anyone who retreats without orders will be killed!"
I'm really going to die now!
The nobles in the Beijing camp all knew that a disaster was coming, but no one dared to resist the decree... Whoever dared to resist the decree would not be spared, let alone Zhu Youjian, and other nobles would not spare him either.
Because at most one person would die if he tried desperately, the whole family would have to suffer the consequences if he escaped, and his own life would also have to be sacrificed - the little emperor came with 12,000 cavalry, how could he let them escape?
Honorable men and women cannot run away, but Huang Taiji can!
That's right, Huang Taiji will also be a sweat on the road!
Because Dorgon had already ran back to the Houjin Army camp in Tianshou Mountain, and brought a surprising news to Huang Taiji.
The Ji Liao Army, which had been crawling to the north of Wenyushui for many days, was supported by more than 10,000 Ming Army cavalry from the west last night, and then began to move quickly. By this morning, it had crossed Wenyushui and " The "Beijing Camp Turtle Army" has joined forces.
As soon as the three Ming armies joined forces, they immediately formed a large army of 120,000 to 30,000 people, and also had the strength to fight a decisive battle with the more than 50,000 Jin army led by Huang Taiji.
And Huang Taiji had been frightened by Zhu Youjian's "black gun" and the detour he led ten thousand cavalry under his nose. How could he dare to fight Zhu Youjian at Tianshou Mountain?
If you are defeated in Tianshou Mountain, where can you run? To the north of Tianshou Mountain are Juyongguan and Badaling, and to the northeast are Miyun and Gubeikou... The terrain is difficult, the city defense is strong, and the little emperor has deployed heavy troops there.
In addition, the Haraqin Mongolian tribe outside the Gubeikou wall has already been washed by Zhu Youjian and Wu Liangha.
If Huang Taiji wants to escape from the border wall near Gubeikou, he will inevitably have to be chased by the Mongols from Wuliangha!
So Huang Taiji made a quick decision not to fight back! They set a fire at Dingling (the tomb of Wanli) and Changling (the tomb of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty) at the entrance of Tianshou Mountain, and then broke away from camp, bypassing the town of Changping and heading northeast.
An army of 50,000 to 60,000 people marched in in a mighty manner, coupled with the fires on Dingling, Changling and nearby mountains, the movement was terrible.
Zhu Youjian, who was still south of Wenyu River, of course knew it immediately!
When the news came, Zhu Youjian was having lunch in the temporary camp of the Beijing Camp Army. He was munching on a white-flour steamed bun with a slice of marinated meat. There were a group of young knights around him, all of them devouring it. It tastes so delicious! Even those nobles who had already selected the warriors and came to Zhu Youjian to listen to them before driving were greedy - is this white flour steamed bun stuffed with meat so delicious? If you don't die this time, you don't have to go to prison. From now on, you will be satisfied with eating meat and steamed buns...
"Want to run?" Zhu Youjian stuffed the last bit of bun into his mouth, then clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's not that easy!"
He glanced at the nobles present with a burning gaze: "Your opportunity to serve the imperial court has come... I will take you to kill the prisoners!"
As he spoke, he shouted loudly: "Where are Zhang Fengyi, Yuan Chonghuan, Hong Chengchou, Hei Yunlong, Zhao Lijiao, and He Kegang'an?"
Emperor Zhu named six civil servants and generals at once.
These six people were all beside the little emperor. They immediately came out of the queue, stood in separate groups and saluted.
Zhu Youjian said: "Hei Yunlong and Zhao Lijiao, you two lead the front army brigade and Jiliao cavalry first; Zhang Fengyi and Hong Chengchou, you two lead the elite of the Beijing camp to follow the cavalry; Yuan Chonghuan and He Kegang, you two The infantry of the Ji Liao Army set out finally!
In addition, Zu Kefa returned to the capital camp and the generals and lieutenants led their servants to follow me as the vanguard of the army... Let's go after Huang Taiji together! But we can't let Huang Taiji run away, I still have to fight him for 300 rounds! "
What? The emperor charged to chase Huang Taiji?
People in the Zhangqian Army system are all used to it - the little emperor is the best black gun in the world! I'm sure I'm trying to trick Huang Taiji again!
But everyone else was frightened and knelt down.
"No!"
"The slave thieves are cruel..."
"Your Majesty's body is rich in gold..."
Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, this is not the first time I have killed an enemy! Don't be afraid, in fact, slave thieves are not that powerful."
Yes, it can’t beat the really effective Rumi gun...
He glared at Zhu Chunchen and the others and said, "Go quickly and gather the warriors. Each person prepares two horses, along with three days' rations and fine materials... gather here in half an hour. Those who fail to meet the time limit will be killed immediately." No mercy!"
...
No one dares to violate Zhu Youjian's imperial order in front of the army. He really wants to kill people! Moreover, Zhu Chunchen, Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi, Li Shouqi, Li Zunzu, Liu Kongzhao, and Xu Yunzhen, the seven great nobles who led the Beijing camp, all "owed their lives"!
If he didn't work harder, Zhu Youjian would have too many reasons to kill them!
So in less than half an hour, the seven nobles had gathered more than a thousand "warriors" who were ashen-looking and arrived in front of Zhu Youjian. Zukefa also came with more than a thousand strong and strong servants, and he arrived earlier than these heroes. Zhu Youjian himself led more than a hundred young guards, and also ordered a group of knights in front of the tent led by Sun Chuanting, who were also ready.
It was already the evening of the first day of October in the first year of Chongzhen. It was almost dark, but the weather was very good and cloudless, so it should be a good time for a night battle.
"Go out!" Zhu Youjian roared, "Go and kill the slave thief, kill Huang Taiji!"
A group of knights in front of the tent also shouted: "Kill the slave, kill Huang Taiji!"
Then I saw Zhu Youjian, who was already neatly dressed, got on his horse and led his more than a hundred young guards. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers from the Jingying, Jiliao and Zhangqian armies, he was the first to leave the camp and headed towards Go away from the warm elm water in the north...
The emperor actually took the lead and took the lead in the battle!
When the shocked and stunned soldiers came to their senses, the sound of the mountain shouting "Long Live the Mountain" resounded throughout the plains south of Wenyushui!
