Chapter 579 Return to Beijing(1/2)

Babu Hai was stunned when he heard this. He was still very clear about Huang Taiji's strategy of uniting Mongolia to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

The Jiannu cavalry was mainly composed of the Mongolian Eight Banners, and every time the Jiannu entered the pass, they were followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners.

He could understand Prince Rui's desire to rob the Mongols' cattle and sheep, as he had done such a thing not long ago.

When the Mongols start to make trouble, they can settle the matter by giving them some benefits.

But is it too much to wipe out more than two hundred families of Mongolian herders? Isn't this a clear attempt to destroy the alliance between the Jiannu and the Tatars?

If Huang Taiji found out that he was in serious trouble, Dorgon would definitely let him take the blame.

Not to mention unblocking Baylor, once the Mongols investigate him, given the importance Huang Taiji attaches to the Mongols, he may not even be able to save his head.

Babuhai was not capable of leading a large army in battle, but he was not stupid, so he knew what Dorgon meant.

This made Babuhai depressed, but he did not dare to resist the order, and was a little confused for a moment:

"Your Majesty, is this...is this appropriate?"

Duduo had the same idea as Dorgon. Seeing that Babuhai was hesitant, he stepped forward and patted Brother Eleven on the shoulder and said:

"Brother Eleven, go ahead. When we return to Shengjing, our brothers will definitely recommend you as Baylor. It's just a low life..."

"Okay, I will definitely do this well. I hope the two princes will not forget that we are brothers..."

Babuhai had no choice but to take the order and leave...

"Why are you robbing our cattle and sheep? If the owner knows that the cattle, sheep, horses and mules are lost, he will definitely kill us. Please come out and give me an explanation..."

Babuhai came out on horseback with five cattle and more than 1,500 people. The herdsmen still blocked the outside and shouted.

Suddenly I saw a large group of Zhengbaiqi soldiers coming out fully armed. They immediately stopped shouting, and some of them quietly retreated.

The leader kept looking at Babu Hai, and he recognized Babu Hai at a glance as the leader of the slaves who robbed their cattle and sheep.

Although Babuhai was coming menacingly with the iron sword in his hand, he did not think that Jiannu would kill anyone. After all, the two masters were allies, so he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Master, you have stolen a lot of cattle and sheep. The master will beat us to death. I hope the masters of Zhengbai Banner will show kindness..."

But before he finished speaking, Babu Hai urged his horse forward, raised the iron sword in his hand and struck it hard on the head:

"Click..."

There was a sound of an iron sword penetrating flesh, and the man was split in half by Babuhai's sword...

"You're killing someone, run away..."

The Mongolians who were following behind were shocked and ran away in a hurry. Babuhai smiled coldly and shouted with one move of the iron sword in his hand:

"Kill them all!"

Babuhai gave an order, and a group of Jiannu cavalry came up in pursuit. Dozens of Mongolian herdsmen, including several women, how could they outrun the Jiannu cavalry?

Babuhai led his men to charge forward without any need to kill. The horses in front directly knocked down the Mongolian herdsmen, and the thousands of horses behind them immediately trampled over them...

Accompanied by the screams of the Mongolians, three cattlemen and more than 1,500 cavalry quickly rushed towards the residence of the Mongolian herdsmen, leaving only piles of scraps of meat behind them.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and soon piles of flesh and blood were covered by the heavy snow, and the grass returned to its original state again...

In the heavy snow, these Tumut herdsmen all hid in their yurts to avoid the cold. They never imagined that the nightmare would soon come.

When Jiannu went to the Ming Dynasty, they also led the way and replenished some food and grass for Jiannu. Later, they would be massacred by Jiannu. This is retribution...

Tehar is the leader of this Mongolian tribe. At this time, he is chewing beef and drinking kumis in his ger. Several charcoal basins are heating the ger where he is.

Next to Tehar, there is a Han woman and a Mongolian woman. The Han woman was a gift from the slaves.

In July of the seventh year of Chongzhen, when Huang Taiji was on his way back from his second western expedition to Chahar, he entered Fangfang Fort and besieged Xuanfu in the name of the Ming border generals harassing his territory, killing his people and hiding.

The Xuanfu garrison launched an artillery attack, then retreated to Yingzhou, plundered Datong, and captured Desheng Fort.

The capital was shaken, and the commander-in-chief Chen Hongfan was ordered to guard Juyong, and the governor Ding Kuichu and others were ordered to guard Zijing and Yanmen.

Cao Wenzhao, who had surrounded Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others in Henan, was also transferred to Datong, and the peasant army took the opportunity to break out.

During this slave invasion, Tiehar also sent two hundred people to participate in the robbery. Huang Taiji gave them five slaves and some silver coins. The Han woman beside him was a gift from Huang Taiji.

Although there are only more than 200 herdsmen households, the tribe has a population of more than 1,000, including 300 cavalry.

Hearing a rustling sound coming from outside, Tehar didn't take it seriously. He knew that Jiannu had set up camp not far away after leaving seclusion, and yesterday he personally sent a hundred sheep.

Suddenly his two sons rushed in in a panic and shouted:

"My father is in trouble. More than a thousand Zhengbai Banner cavalry have surrounded our tribe for no apparent reason. It seems they want to attack us. Please think of a way..."

"What?"

Tiehal stood up suddenly, but soon collapsed again. He knew very well that the Jurchens were barbaric, so he could only wave his hands to his two sons and said:

"The Jurchens in Jianzhou have gone too far to bully others. They are obviously here to rob cattle and sheep. When you go back to the yurt, don't show your face to prevent them from robbing cattle and sheep and then killing people and silencing them..."

His two sons were shocked and asked hurriedly:

"What if the Jurchens robbed all the cattle and sheep? Should we watch helplessly?"

"Remember not to come out to stop them. If they still have some conscience, they should keep some. If they just rob them all, it's useless to say anything. Go back..."

Before Tiehar finished speaking, he suddenly heard the screams of Mongolians and the shouts of Jurchens coming from outside...

The three men were dumbfounded. Before they could react, dozens of rockets suddenly shot at the yurt, and the yurt was instantly set on fire!

The yurt had caught fire, and if you didn't run out, you would be burned alive. Tiehar and his two sons hurriedly ran out of the yurt, and the two women also crawled out of the yurt.

But the scene in front of them once again shocked Tiehar and his two sons...

I saw groups of Jiannu Zhengbai Banner cavalry chasing the Mongols, hacking them to death with swords at close range, and shooting them with bows and arrows from a distance.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The tribe originally had two to three hundred cavalry, but as soon as they ran out of the yurt, they were killed by the Zhengbai Banner cavalry, unable to cause the slightest harm to Jiannu.

Tiehar and his two sons tried desperately to escape, but found that their legs were weak and it was difficult to move for a while. The two women were wailing behind them...

The yurt where Tihar is located is the largest and most luxurious in this tribe, and Babuhai has long noticed it.

Seeing several people running out of it, he waved his hand, and immediately a hail of arrows shot the five Tehar people into hedgehogs...

After indiscriminately slaughtering this small Mongolian tribe, the slaves drove away all their cattle, sheep, mules and horses.

In order to blame the Ming army for the massacre, they left some Han corpses wearing Ming army armor, and then led their men back to give orders to Dorgon...



Capital

In the Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace, Emperor Chongzhen and Queen Zhou, Queen Yi'an, Zhang Yan and Concubine Yuan were playing mahjong. Concubine Tian took Kun Xing and other children to play in the snow in front of the Nuan Pavilion.

Lenghou was unable to fish, so Chongzhen spent every day at the mahjong table with several beauties. Nuan Pavilion had become his playground.

Because he no longer has troubles and gets nutritional supplements in his life, both his body and his complexion are much better than before.

Now he arranged his time in an orderly manner, and established a three-day rotation system between Queen Zhou and several noble concubines, making the atmosphere in the harem very harmonious.

Looking up at the heavy snow outside, and thinking of the young emperor Shenwu who was driving the army himself, Chongzhen put down his mahjong and stood up:

"No more fun. It's snowing so heavily outside. I wonder if Jiannu will enter the customs or when the emperor will be able to make a triumphant return!"

Chongzhen's words immediately made Queen Zhou and Queen Yi'an lose interest in continuing to play mahjong.

No matter how powerful Zhu Cixiang was, he was still a child in the eyes of Zhang Yan and Queen Mother Zhou.

"Yes, when will the emperor be able to make a triumphant return? I really shouldn't be riding in the army myself. It's snowing so heavily outside. I hope the emperor will be able to make a triumphant return as soon as possible..."

Emperor Chongzhen looked back at Wang Chengen who was standing aside and said:

"Wang Daban, is there any news about the emperor?"

Lao Wang hurriedly bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I haven't received any battle reports about you yet. Why don't you send Fang Zhenghua over to ask? He should know!"

Chongzhen and Empress Dowager Zhou nodded almost simultaneously:

"That's right, hurry up and spread the Founder's transformation!"

After receiving the order, Lao Wang immediately exited the Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace. As soon as he left the Nuan Pavilion, a few snowflakes hit his face. Lao Wang couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly called a young eunuch:

"Xiao Lizi, the emperor has sent a message to Eunuch Fang. You should go to Dongchang immediately and ask Eunuch Fang to come to Kunning Palace to meet the emperor!"

"Okay, little one will go right away!"

The little eunuch hurriedly bowed and then ran quickly to the east factory...

Soon, Dongchang Admiral Fang Zhenghua followed the young eunuch to Kunning Palace, entered the Nuan Pavilion and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed:

"Seeing your Majesty and the Queen Mother, I wonder what your Majesty's instructions are for summoning your servants?"

Chongzhen waved his hand to signal Fang Zhenghua to abstain from the ceremony, and then asked:

"Fang Daban, if there is any battle report from the Emperor's personal expedition, it is snowing heavily outside. The Queen Mother is very worried. Please tell me quickly!"

At this time, Chongzhen still couldn't let go of his dignity sometimes. He clearly cared about the emperor's safety, but he used the guise of Queen Mother Zhou to ask questions.

As the admiral of Dongchang, Fang Zhenghua certainly knew about the situation of Emperor Shenwu's personal expedition. When the emperor asked questions, he hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am brave and invincible. Yesterday, I killed all the slaves who entered the Pass, and even Prince Yue Tuo, who became the slave, was captured alive. I am now on my way to triumph. I will definitely be able to return to the palace today..."
