Huang Taiji said to Dai Shan beside him: "Second brother, don't worry. I will definitely take revenge for the two red flags. But going to Ji Town is more important now. I can only put the matter of revenge aside for now. I hope second brother can understand." .”
"I can understand." Daishan nodded.
The two red flags he brought were gone, so how could anyone dare to have any opinions.
Neither of the two political leaders had any objections. Huang Taiji continued: "Next, rush to Jizhen with all your strength and rush into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty with the two white flags. I have only one request for you, grab as many things as possible and come back. Especially craftsmen who are good at making firearms must be brought back to Liaodong for this Khan."
The power of the Tiger Flag firearms has stimulated him, and he also wants to create more firearms belonging to Daikin.
The meeting in the sweat tent ended quickly.
Amin looked sympathetically at Daishan, who was getting older.
He knew that Daishan could not entirely be blamed for the two red flags. Even if Huang Taiji was behind the two yellow flags, the outcome would not change much.
Daishan's two red flags can only be blamed for their unlucky fate. After being left behind, they became the target of interception and killing by the tiger-shaped flag army.
Although Huang Taiji did not punish Daishan in public, he knew that this was only temporary. When he returned to Shengjing in the future, Daishan would have to suffer the consequences, and it would be even worse than when he returned from North Korea.
】
He had already noticed that Huang Taiji looked gentle and easy-to-talk on the surface, but in his heart, Lao Khan was even more ruthless and ruthless.
Huang Taiji led the puppet-golden coalition forces to retreat all the way to the Kuanhe area.
Although Ji Town is an important town on nine sides, due to the rise of the Jurchens in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty spent all its elite soldiers and a large amount of money on Liao affairs.
Ji Town, like other important nine-border towns in the Ming Dynasty, has long been in ruins. The frontier troops guarding here have not received full pay for many years, and some officers and soldiers even owe several months to half a year's pay.
After Huang Taiji suffered a lot from the Tiger Banner, he was afraid that the Tiger Banner army would chase him along the way, so he chose Ji Town to enter the pass, which could lengthen the supply line of the Tiger Banner army and facilitate the withdrawal of his and Dajin's troops. Liaodong.
However, there were no troops chasing the tiger-character flag.
After eating the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the two red flags, the Tiger Character Banner had given up its pursuit of Huang Taiji and the army of slave thieves.
From the beginning, Liu Heng just wanted to bite a piece of meat off Huang Taiji's body, and had no intention of leaving Huang Taiji and the army of slaves and thieves he brought on the grassland.
The matter of slaves and thieves will eventually be settled in Liaodong.
The current commander-in-chief of Jizhen is He Huchen.
He was originally the deputy commander-in-chief of Gansu Province. Because the Tiger Character Banner invaded Shaanxi, Gansu would not let it go. He Huchen turned around and became the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, taking over the position of commander-in-chief Zhao Lediao.
After Dorgon took two white flags and attacked the three passes of Longjing Pass, Da'an Pass and Hongshan Pass, He Huchen also sent troops to try to intercept them, but failed, so he hunkered down in Jizhou Town and pretended to be dead. .
Dorgon took the two white flags all the way to Jizhou Town.
Along the way, he grabbed things he saw and killed people he saw, and he let out a fierce breath of bad breath on the tiger character flag.
In just a few days after entering Ji Town, the things he grabbed were far beyond what he imagined before coming. Daming's wealth taught him a profound lesson.
He knew that the purpose of coming to the Ming Dynasty was to plunder, so he did not actively seek out the Ming army at all. Instead, he divided his two white flags and Han soldiers into several groups and sent them in different directions to plunder.
As a result, the people living here in Ji Town are even worse off.
Unless you hide in the deep mountains and old forests, it will be difficult to avoid the plunder of this group of slave thieves sent by Dorgon.
Countless bodies were burned to a white ground, leaving behind broken and charred corpses.
He Huchen immediately sent people to the capital and Shanhaiguan to call for help.
However, he didn't have much expectations for Shanhaiguan. Even when Ningyuan was in emergency, Shanhaiguan never sent troops to control it, let alone his Jizhen.
The reason why we need to call Shanhaiguan for emergency is just in case.
After all, it is much faster to send troops from Shanhaiguan than to send troops from the capital.
In order to allow Shanhaiguan to send troops to support Jizhen as much as possible, He Huchen sent a letter to Yuan Chonghuan, specifically asking him to persuade the Shanhaiguan guard to send troops to support Jizhen.
All the letters asking for help were sent out, and all that was left was to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Dorgon also did not feel at ease staying in Jizhou.
Jizhou Town was almost plundered, and he led the soldiers and horses of the two white flags to start plundering the Zunhua area.
In the eyes of slaves and thieves, everything is cargo, and people are also a type of cargo. Everything that can only be snatched is taken, and anything that cannot be taken away is burned directly.
Ji Zhen's request for help was immediately sent to the capital.
The chief assistant at this time was Han Xu.
At this time, Chongzhen still trusted the Donglin Party very much. After all, the reputation of the Donglin Party was very good. Chongzhen always believed that the reason why the Ming Dynasty became what it is now was because of Wei Zhongxian, and the Donglin Party, which was confronting Wei Zhongxian, Naturally, he became a good person in his mind.
Since he came to the throne, several chief ministers of the cabinet have been replaced, but Han Xu is the most suitable chief minister of the cabinet in his mind.
He has always believed that as long as the Donglin Party returns to the court, the court will naturally be in good hands, and all the problems faced by the Ming Dynasty can be solved.
Not only can the Jurchen rebellion in Liaodong be quelled, but the Tiger Character Banner rebellion in the northwest can also be quelled.
Therefore, since Han Xu took office as the chief minister, the DPRK and China began to be filled with Donglin Party members in large numbers, and many courtiers who were not from the Donglin Party also began to make friends with the Donglin Party members.
Although the Donglin Party is not as powerful as it was during the Tianqi Dynasty, it has greatly eased the situation of being suppressed by Wei Zhongxian in the past few years.
Many Donglin Party members began to be resurrected and rose to high positions.
Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru, etc. were all resurrected by the court because of their status as members of the Donglin Party.
Of course, now Zhou Yanru has turned against the Donglin Party because he blocked Qian Qianyi from joining the cabinet. At least Han Xu dislikes him very much, but Chongzhen values him.
Even though Zhou Yanru has not yet joined the cabinet, many people feel that Zhou Yanru will join the cabinet sooner or later.
As soon as the General Administration Department received the urgent copy from Jizhen, it was sent to Chongzhen as soon as possible.
The matter of slave thieves entering the customs from Jizhen was so big that no one dared to delay on it.
In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen sat behind the eucalyptus head and reviewed the memorial sent from below.
Compared with his grandfather, father, and brother, these three emperors, no one is more diligent than him.
Since he ascended the throne, he has barely slept for a few hours every day and has been lying in bed all day long dealing with never-ending official duties.
This year is the second year since he changed his name.
I have become accustomed to the status of an emperor.
Among the memorials he has handled in the past two years, the most content is about asking for money and food.
There was a severe drought in the local area, and local officials sent me a petition asking for food relief to the victims. When there was a flood, the local officials also asked the court for money and food relief.
There are also locust plagues, earth dragons turning over, and all kinds of disasters. In addition, there is Yuan Chonghuan from Liaodong who also insists on asking for food and wages.
On the contrary, what he wanted to see most was about the Tiger Character Flag. No officials from Shandong or Beizhili had submitted any memorials in this regard.
