"puff……"
Chongzhen, who was on the verge of going berserk, spat out a mouthful of blood, which looked extremely red under the rays of the setting sun.
His body shook twice, his steps were shaky, and the letter in his hand fell to the ground.
"His Majesty!"
"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"
"defense!"
"Everyone stand back!"
…
Fang Jun and the Fang family, who were closely guarding behind them, had quick eyesight and quick hands. They supported the staggering emperor one on the left and the other on the right.
Cao Bian pulled out his light sword with a clanging sound and blocked it in front of the emperor. Then he roared angrily and stared at everyone with wide eyes.
The sergeant of the Warrior Battalion behind him reacted very quickly. The moment Cao Bianjiao roared, his body flashed and surrounded the emperor. He unsheathed his long sword and stared at everyone eagerly.
As long as anyone dares to make any move, they will directly pounce on them and kill them.
Li Ruolian quickly picked up the letter on the ground, and Yuan Keli took it easily. He just glanced at it, and his face suddenly became so gloomy that he could shed tears.
Another letter probably means that even if Chongzhen takes a detour or sends Mao Wenlong to stop them, they still have another preparation.
That is, they will capture all the young women from Liaoyang City to Dandong, then strip them naked in front of the entire army, and even directly rape them.
Yuan Keli stepped forward and nodded towards Cao Bianjiao, then stretched out his right hand and placed it on the emperor's left back. He felt that his pulse was rapid, rapid, stringy, but beating very powerfully, and he was relieved.
The emperor was just furious, but his body was not seriously injured. He just needed to rest for a few days.
Otherwise, the morale of the army will really be shaken, and if the northern expedition does not go well this time, the army will have to withdraw, and the good situation will be ruined.
"Huang Taiji, since you want to play, then I will play with you!"
"Change...get out of the way!"
Amid everyone's worries, Chongzhen woke up and roared.
Then he broke away from the hands of the Fang family and Fang Jun, and took two steps forward: "Ma Xianglin, I will give you two days..."
"His Majesty!"
Yuan Keli took a step forward, interrupted the emperor's words, and then looked at everyone: "Ma Xianglin, I will give you two days to capture the city from here to Gaizhou, search for the children of the slaves, and bring them here. !
In addition, all the slaves in the city were slaughtered by the pavilion and piled up at the city gate to form a palace! "
"Li Ruolian sent orders to the new citizens Sun Chuanting and Kangping Zhumei. In addition to the necessary manpower to guard the ferry, the army went out to search and send all the women under the age of thirteen from Jiannu to Liaoyang via waterways. They must be fast!
If you encounter resistance, you can advance regardless of losses. I only want results! "
"Yuan Chonghuan, send a general and 20,000 people to the north along the Hun River to meet the enemy, and hold back the Shicheng garrison between Liaoyang and Shenyang!"
"The last general takes command!"
Ma Xianglin, Li Ruolian, and Yuan Chonghuan responded after only a slight hesitation and left quickly.
What Yuan Keli just said was my commander, not my usual pavilion. The meaning of this is too obvious.
Moreover, interrupting the emperor's words and directly issuing a military order, combining the military order with what just happened, everyone is not a fool and naturally knows what this means.
After the three people left, Yuan Keli looked at the emperor and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am not arrogant. I am the general marshal of the Northern Tribunal. I am responsible for raising matters regarding the Northern Tribunal. This matter should be arranged by me!"
Chongzhen stared at the kneeling Yuan Keli and remained silent for a long time.
If it were just ordinary people, regardless of whether they were men, women, or the elderly, as long as they were adults, for the sake of overall victory, he would not hesitate to give orders to pursue them, but Huang Taiji actually caught children.
His temperament has obviously changed. To be honest, as a new father, he really can't bear to do this.
And there is also the content in that letter. The woman's innocence is greater than the sky. If she suffers such humiliation, even if the slaves don't kill them, they will kill themselves.
He has to endure the humiliation of beasts before he dies. Even if he dies, he will not rest in peace.
He admitted that Jian Nu had mastered these two tricks and completely touched the deepest defense in his heart.
After a while, he spoke out: "Yuan Aiqing, I understand your intention, but I cannot escape this matter, and I cannot escape it! Even if I bear the infamy, I admit it.
Since Jiannu likes to play, I will play with them to the end to see who is ruthless, them or me! "
After saying this, Chongzhen looked at the generals and said in a low, slightly hoarse voice: "I know some of you will think that a mere few hundred children is nothing compared to the destruction of the slave-building army?
But have you ever thought that if we give in today and spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, we will lose the trust of the younger generation. Have you ever thought about the consequences?
The imperial court does not care about the life and death of the people. Will the people care about the life and death of your court? Water can carry a boat and also capsize it.
The most important thing is that after you give in one step, you will give in countless steps, and other enemies will follow suit. Now that something has happened, you must find a way to solve it, and fight for it without losing any one!
If you try hard and it really can't be solved, then take the path that can't be solved.
Do you understand? "
The faces of the generals became serious. Although they did not agree with it, they did not dare to show it at the moment.
After listening to the emperor's thoughts, Yuan Keli thought for a while and immediately said: "Your Majesty, judging from the movements of the slave-building coalition, it is very likely that they are retreating. The specific direction is not yet clear.
But they will definitely let people take the concubines and children to retreat together, and the speed will not be much faster.
Now maybe Shenyang doesn't know the news that Huang Taiji is about to retreat. If that's the case, then if we capture his concubines and children in exchange for them letting go of those children and women!
I would like to ask your Majesty to order the mobilization of a thousand warrior battalions to go north along the Liaohe River to join the thousand warrior battalions in Xinmin City to handle this matter together!
This place is only more than a hundred miles away from Shenyang. At the speed of one person and three riders from the Warrior Battalion, it will take at most an hour and a half to arrive. Maybe we can intercept them directly! "
"Cao Bianjiao, please arrange for two thousand-household offices to handle the matter, and we must do it quickly!"
After Cao Bianjiao left, Yuan Keli continued: "Your Majesty, I suggest that today's battle report be sent back to Beijing, and also write down what Jiannu did! Whether these children can be saved or not, we can't hide this matter.
Why not publish it in the Ming Dynasty Daily to let the people of Ming Dynasty know that while we take the initiative, we can also reduce the negative impact! "
"feasible!"
After Chongzhen responded, he took the water bag and took a few sips, and he felt much better immediately.
Seeing that the emperor's pale face slowly returned to normal and his words were full of energy, the generals also breathed a sigh of relief, so they all asked for battle!
"Your Majesty, Commander Li just said that Jiannu sent a message. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check the authenticity. I am willing to go. With my skills, it is still possible to kill five or six people in one breath!"
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to go..."
"enough!"
Chongzhen shouted angrily: "The idea is good, but what if Jiannu used a bow and arrow to ignite it remotely? Or what about using a stick and fire arrow with a large barrel?
Do you know how many people are guarding there? If you can kill ten, can you still kill twenty or thirty?
Since Huang Taiji has arranged it, it is impossible for us to attack and save him! "
"Also, even if you can save those children, can you also save those women who are in the slave army?"
"Go back and tell the soldiers the real situation and possible situations clearly, be prepared, and be ready to pursue at any time!"
After everyone left, Chongzhen looked at Yuan Keli and the others: "Yuan Aiqing, follow me to the front to see the situation!"
Cao Bianjiao personally led a thousand warrior battalions to accompany him. The remaining warrior battalions were parked twenty miles away from Liaoyang City and were on standby. Hundreds of scouts were distributed several miles around to ensure that Jiannu did not ambush.
Half an hour later, more than a thousand people arrived five miles away from Liaoyang City, and two miles ahead was where the group of children was.
Chongzhen slowly raised the telescope.
