"What does the court mean? Governor Yuan has been in prison for several months, why is there no news?"
"Some time ago, I heard that 30,000 soldiers and horses were transferred from Shanhaiguan, and the governor is not here. What if the slaves get the news and attack the city?"
"Deputy Commander Zhao, when Commander Yuan returns to Beijing, you will be responsible for Ning Yuan. How about you write a memorial to His Majesty and ask Commander Yuan to come back and take charge of the overall situation?"
"I am submitting a memorial? What does the memorial say? Your Majesty asked Governor Yuan to write the Ping Liao policy. Who knows what is going on now?"
"Deputy Commander Zhao, I know that you and Commander Yuan are not getting along well, but it concerns the overall situation. Please put the overall situation first. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians behind you."
"Report..."
While everyone was quarreling, a messenger came into the lobby: "Generals, two prison cars have arrived at the city gate!"
"Prison van?"
"Come just as you come. How you usually hand over your hand will be how you hand it over now. Didn't you see we are discussing something? Get out!"
"Report... Generals, the person escorting the prison car asked Deputy General Zhao to go out and receive the order!"
As soon as the words "receive the decree" were spoken, everyone stood up suddenly, their eyes full of doubts.
Who is the prisoner? Why did he alert the emperor and ask a deputy general to receive the order?
With doubts, everyone followed Zhao Shujiao towards the door.
Several guards and guerrillas outside the gate stared at the prison car and talked about it.
"What's the situation? There's an imperial edict. What serious crime did these two people commit?"
"These two people are probably Jiannu. They have small eye slits, no obvious wrinkles on the eyelids, close distance between the eyes, straight noses, and unobvious cheekbones. They are typical Jiannu people, and they may be people from the Eight Banners of Jiannu."
"Brothers, do you think the person in the first prison car looks so similar to Amin?"
"Which Armin?"
"Nonsense, how many people can be named Amin? Isn't it Aisin Gioro Amin, the second among the four great beauties of Jiannu? Hey, it can't really be him!"
"Deputy General Zhao, General Zhu, and General Zu are here!"
With a shout, some of the surrounding guerrillas and guards instantly moved out of the way. Pingliao Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhao Lijiao, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zu Dashou, General Zhu Mei and others hurriedly walked out of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion. .
"I, Zhao, will lead the generals in Ningyuan City to receive the order!"
"The emperor, who is destined to be the emperor, issued an edict: On the 15th day of the seventh month in the first year of Chongzhen, Jiannu... captured Amin and Dorgon in order to commemorate the soldiers of Ningyuan and undermine the morale of Jiannu.
Zhao, the deputy commander-in-chief of Pingliao, is specially ordered to lead the people who cooperate with the mission and come to Lingchi in front of Ningyuan City...I admire this! "
Halfway through the imperial edict, all the generals were stunned. There were dense beads of sweat on their foreheads, and their faces were full of fear.
The Jiannu coalition forces attacked Longjingguan and other Jizhen defense lines, but they did not receive the news. This was a serious dereliction of duty.
But what shocked them even more was that the 65,000 Jiannu who entered the customs were rounded up and killed, and Amin, Dorgon and others were also captured alive.
"General Zhao, take the order!"
"I, I accept the order!"
Fang Jun's voice woke up Zhao Shujiao, who was still in shock. After experiencing countless storms and battles, he was so frightened that he was unable to speak.
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Lijiao handed it to the soldiers, rushed to the prison car, reached out and lifted up the dying prisoner lying in the car.
"It's really Amin and Dorgon!"
After seeing the prisoner's appearance clearly, Zhao Shujiao murmured to himself.
They fought with Jiannu, large and small, for tens of feet. The high-level Jiannu, such as Amin and Dorgon, naturally knew each other.
Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhu Mei and others also gathered around, and when they saw clearly, they all looked blank.
"This, this sir..."
"I am His Majesty's personal bodyguard Fang Jun. Deputy General Zhao can just call me Fang Jun!"
Fang Jun interrupted Zhao Lingjiao's words, took out a stack of paper from his horse and handed it over: "What you want to know is very clear in these three edicts. Everyone, please read it, and then we will discuss when Lingchi will be! "
Zhao led the teacher to receive the three edicts, and the rest of the people gathered around them.
"How can this be?"
"How on earth is this done?"
"Is it the battle strength of our Ming army that has greatly increased, or is it that the slaves are acclimatized and have diarrhea and the battle strength is greatly reduced?"
"Huang Taiji is not very smart. He knew that he was going to be surrounded and killed, so why didn't he retreat?"
"Hiss...the silver reward, pension money, and burial expenses are so high? Is the court so generous? Then do we need to replenish the silver reward we fought on the front line?"
…
The generals looked at the battle report and discussed it one after another.
They had no doubts about the battle report. First, since the edict had been issued, the possibility of fraud was low.
Second, Dorgon and Amin were in the prison car next to them, which is the best evidence.
Although everyone was talking about it, they did not put forward such unreliable suggestions as taking the opportunity to send troops to attack Jiannu and regain the lost territory.
"Gong Chengguo collaborated with the enemy and committed suicide? This kind of person should be Lingchi!"
"The Holy Son of the Kong family collaborates with the enemy?"
"The blood of the Kong family is impure, and it is suspected that it was replaced by a foreign race?"
"These bastards, I'm fighting to the death on the front line, and they actually collaborate with the enemy!"
"If there is anything else to investigate, just mobilize the army and kill them. If the literati dare to object, they will kill one by one until they dare not speak out."
…
After reading the battle report, everyone read the remaining two copies and cursed the Kong family. As for amnesty, they didn't care.
There has been so much fighting on the front lines that the dead have no feeling for them anymore.
"Generals, after you have finished reading, let's discuss how to carry out the execution. Your Majesty's intention is to use this to undermine the morale of the slaves."
"This is easy to handle. The army pushed forward three miles. At the boundary of the artillery range of Ningyuan City, Jiannu came without any notice.
If they attack, we will retreat. There are trenches, horse-blocking stakes and artillery, and it will be fine! "
"I suggest placing it in Dafu Fort, which is Jinzhou Wood City. There are mainly five Inner Khalkha tribes and Jiannu tribes. There are many people talking and it is easier to spread.
If we were outside Ningyuan City, the news would be easily blocked by the army. If Jiannu was angered and attacked desperately, we would not be afraid of ten thousand, but just in case! "
"In my opinion, it is better to kill him directly in the city, but keep the head, and finally send the severed meat, head and skeleton to the outside of the Jiannu army, or even directly to Shenyang."
…
He is worthy of being a person fighting on the front lines, and each of his ideas is more ruthless and bloody than the last.
Dorgon and Amin in the prison car listened to everyone's words, struggled desperately, roared, and bumped against the prison car.
"Damn it, are you looking for death? Do you know what it means to be a knife and a slave while others are fish and meat?"
"How dare you be so arrogant as a prisoner!"
"You bastard, I didn't bother you just now, but now I'm actively looking for trouble. Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?"
…
He Kegang, Zhu Mei and others suddenly became angry when they heard Amin and Dorgon's roars. They grabbed the two of them across the prison car and slapped them with their big mouths.
Fang Jun glanced at it and frowned slightly: "General Zhao, what do you mean?"
