Chapter 9 Outside Shanhaiguan

Tang Tong was confused when he was captured. He kept shouting in his heart, what on earth is going on!

the other side.

Zhu Youjian had already gone down the mountain when he saw the enemy's defeat. He was already walking quickly with Fan Jingwen and Ni Yuanlu who were in the valley.

Ni Yuanlu stroked her beard and laughed all the way.

Zhu Youjian looked at him like a madman. "Is this old man Ni too happy and crazy about gains and losses?"

When Ling Yiqu saw Chongzhen approaching, he suddenly smiled. He solemnly adjusted his clothes and knelt down as if he were worshiping a god: "Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

When Tang Tong heard this sentence, he suddenly became even more dizzy.

Why is there another emperor?

The emperor of Dashun is in the capital, the emperor of Daxi is in Sichuan, the emperor of Jianlu is in Shenyang, the emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has been burned to death, why is there another emperor here?

He desperately shook off the hand holding him behind him and looked up.

"What!" Tang Tong simply couldn't believe his eyes.

Although I visited the Jinluan Palace several times and only looked at it from a distance, I can definitely remember Chongzhen's appearance.

The person in front of me is... a charlatan?

"Tang Tong, do you know your guilt!" Fan Jingwen shouted.

"Master Fan, is this the emperor?" Tang Tong didn't even care about life or death, he just wanted to know the whole story.

Where did Chongzhen come from, and where did the elite soldiers come from?

Zhu Youjian looked at this famous second minister in history with utmost contempt. He was infected by the bloody atmosphere of the battlefield in front of him. Without saying a word, he drew out his saber and slashed forward.

Immediately blood splattered and heads rolled down.

Fan Jingwen and the others were dumbfounded. What happened? The emperor chopped off Tang Tong's head without saying a word.

Shi Bangyao, who was about to shout that I am the Flying Dragon Army, felt choked and punched his chest.

Ling Yiqu looked at the heads that were still rolling and was speechless. The emperor's tolerance for rebels is so low?

A sentence came to his mind, be loyal, don't be treason!

Zhu Youjian felt very happy and said loudly: "Ru Yu, count the wounded, collect the horses and weapons. Let the whole army put on the rebel leather armor!"

"Meng Zhang, collect the arrows and Chongzhen Repeating Crossbow, and assemble the team."

"Junfu, go and see what else is there besides 60,000 taels of silver in those 28 carriages."

Everyone understood the previous order very well, but they were confused about the 60,000 taels of silver in the last sentence.

Was this a dream again?

Ni Yuanlu had long since disbelieved Chongzhen's theory that he had learned about it in a dream. He was certain that Chongzhen had known everything from God.

After half a day of counting, Ni Yuanlu and others came to Chongzhen to report their work.

"Your Majesty, in this ambush, no one in our army was killed, 1 was seriously injured, and 12 were lightly injured. We killed nearly 7,400 enemy people and captured more than 600 people.

More than 1,000 uninjured horses, 3,200 slightly injured horses, and 1,800 seriously injured horses were recovered.

There are more than 300 pairs of complete leather armors and more than 5,000 pairs of slightly damaged leather armors.

There are 500 bird cannons, 300 fire cannons, and countless bows, arrows, swords and guns.

There are also 28 carriages escorted by the rebels, totaling 60,000 taels of silver and 50,000 shi of military rations!"

Compared with the captured materials, Zhu Youjian cared more about the soldiers' combat power and firearms.

He was very happy that there were no casualties. However, the number of firearms made him a little disappointed.

8,000 men and horses were equipped with 800 firearms, which was only 10%.

Zhu Youjian looked at the copied list of supplies and was generally satisfied. He said: "You will carefully check the prisoners. If there are any useful talents, they will stay in the army. Each surrendered soldier will be assigned three people to supervise him.

All other useless prisoners can be killed.

In addition, I ordered the soldiers to bury pots on the spot to cook, and cooked all the dead horses for consumption. Today, my soldiers are allowed to eat as much meat as they want!"

"According to the order!" The four of them followed the order and left.

The entire afternoon, the Feilong Army was in full swing and full of passion.

Over the years of being in the army, I have rarely seen military pay and rations. I eat bran bran vegetables on weekdays to avoid starving to death.

Occasionally, there would be no food supply, and the people would be plundered. Although they were despised, there was nothing they could do about it.

Now that I have followed the Holy Lord, I have not only become a soldier of the dragon and a disciple of the emperor, but I have also seen several carts of white money and carts full of grain and grass.

Chewing a large piece of horse meat, not to mention how fragrant it is.

The 300 prisoners who were left behind were not treated differently. All the sergeants obeyed Chongzhen's military orders and treated the surrendered soldiers equally without any discrimination.

They were also given leather-armored horses and chunks of horse meat. They even had instructors chatting with them, as if they had become a family.

The most excited person is none other than Yue Ban.

Zhu Youjian directly granted him the title of Uncle Pingtong, and all three of his sons were made viscounts. Even Wu Sangui had only granted him the title of Uncle Pingxi a few days ago because he needed to be diligent in his work.

Yue Ban was suddenly on the same level as Wu Sangui, something he never expected in his life.

This honor made a lot of old friends envious and came to congratulate him one after another.

Even his old boss Fan Jingwen came over to congratulate him politely, leaving the father-in-law and his son at a loss.

Before Yue Ban could finish his excitement, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to send new drawings.

Chongzhen five-arrow crossbow!

It is small and exquisite, can be held with one hand, and can fire five arrows in a row by lightly pressing the mechanism.

At the same time, an arrow clip is designed to quickly load arrows after firing.

With this device, a single soldier can fire 10 times, that is, 50 bows and arrows in half an hour.

You know, the best Mongolian cavalry can't achieve this kind of results even for a quarter of an hour!

What's more, all individual soldiers in our army will reach this level.

"Long live this man of God!" Yue Ban admired from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Youjian ordered the entire army to change into leather armor, carry spears and steel knives on their backs, mount their horses, and form a cavalry square formation neatly.

Brave and high-spirited, quite like an iron-blooded army!

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied and immediately ordered to set off for Shanhaiguan.

More than a thousand cavalrymen marched slowly, escorting 28 carriages and more than 5,000 injured horses.

Zhu Youjian divided the army into three groups: one group escorted the supplies, one group took care of the horses, and one group was sent out to practice riding skills.

The journey that was originally two days ended up taking five days.

When they arrived 50 miles from Shanhaiguan, they met the scouts sent by Wu Sangui to meet them.

Fan Jingwen did not dare to be careless, so he reported as the vanguard of Tang Tong's army and asked Wu Sangui to go 10 miles out of the city to meet him.

In Shanhaiguan, when Wu Sangui heard about this, he slammed the tea cup in his hand.

"Son of a bitch, this bastard Tang Tong was a few ranks lower than me back then, but now he's showing off to me, and he's been demoted a few months earlier. What's so impressive about it!"

Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief Gao Di took a few steps forward and said slowly: "Uncle Ping Xi, don't be angry. The situation is stronger than others, so you should be patient for now.

What's more, Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, and Jiang Xiang, who worked together in Liaodong, have all surrendered and are now among the new nobles of the Dashun court.

It's better for us to be aware of current affairs and be a hero."

Wu Sangui heard this and spat fiercely: "I can't bear this bad breath! Yesterday, my servant came to report that my concubine was kidnapped by Liu Zongmin, the general of the intruder. I don't know whether she will live or die! He, Li Zicheng, deceived me too much!"

"This is happening!" Gao Di was shocked.

"Not only that, but now Li Chuang has found 7 million silver ingots and 500,000 gold ingots in the palace's treasury. Not satisfied, he openly extorted hundreds of officials in the capital, tortured them at every turn, and actually knocked out 70 million silver ingots.

Although my house is not moved now, there is no guarantee that it will not be moved in the future!" Wu Sangui said angrily.

"Hush! My uncle Ping, be careful, the walls have ears!" Li Yutian, the governor of Liaodong who had been silent, was startled.

"You and I have a lot of troops in our hands, so we are safe for the time being. Let's go and test Tang Tong's tone first." Gao Di continued.
