The battle went on very fast.

Night is the best protection.

When Niu Lu was captured, although the entire camp occasionally shouted to kill, it soon began to gradually calm down.

This Niu Lu is very strong. Although he was stabbed in the waist and lost his ears, he still had the strength to hold him down. Several people could hold him down.

Immediately afterwards, the battlefield began to be cleaned up.

People took ropes and tied the prisoners into strings like grasshoppers. If they were seriously injured, of course, they would not waste medical treatment and slaughter them directly on the spot.

Lu Xiangsheng and his men began to count the battlefield.

Zhang Jingyi arrived at the Niulu barracks.

In this barracks, Zhang Jing sat down and looked down at his clothes, but was soaked in blood. He felt not afraid just now, but now he felt a little scared.

If there is any mistake, you will really throw your life here.

After a while, Lu Xiangsheng hurried in. He seemed to be full of energy and said with a cheerful smile: "Great joy, great joy...haha..."

Zhang Jing couldn't see Lu Xiangsheng like this. On weekdays, this guy would slash people with a big knife, but now you are as arrogant as a scholar to me...

Oh, Zhang Jingyi actually forgot that Lu Xiangsheng was originally a scholar, but he was a Jinshi.

Zhang Jingyi asked at this time: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiangsheng stroked his beard at this time and looked at Zhang Jingyi admirably.

The battle was so beautiful that even he himself was surprised. He was frightened before the war, but after this night attack, he found that the battle was much easier than he thought.

At this time, he said with a refreshing feeling: "The location has been tested, and more than 130 people have been killed, more than 420 people have been captured, and more than 300 of us have wiped out nearly 600 Jiannu people."

Zhang Jingyi's expression didn't react much.

Lu Xiangsheng seemed particularly excited: "This battle really brought about the prestige of our Ming Dynasty. In recent years, we have never had such a great victory with fewer victory, and it was a great victory in field battles. With this battle, our Ming Dynasty was enough to be proud."

Only then did Zhang Jingyi realize why Lu Xiangsheng was so happy.

Lu Xiangsheng's words did point out the key points. The Ming Dynasty rarely had an encirclement and annihilation battle, so there was no large number of beheadings and prisoners.

Actually, it can be understood even if you think about it.

Even the so-called great victory happened when defending the city. When the Jiannu people attacked, everyone relied on the city wall to defend. The Jiannu people had no choice but to retreat!

In such a situation, how do you capture prisoners and what are you talking about encirclement and annihilation?

Today's battle, in a sense, can be regarded as breaking the myth of the invincible field battle of the Jiannu people.

Zhang Jingyi said cautiously: "I have captured 400 people and must be kept under strict supervision."

"Of course." Lu Xiangsheng said seriously: "They are all tied up. Now, we will keep them unable to eat and drink for a day. They have almost exhausted their energy and tied up again. There are still people guarding them, and they can't run away even if they want to run away. The more than 420 people, including 150 of them, are Jiannu people, and the rest... are the Liao people who surrendered their... "

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Try to keep them alive and take them back to the capital tomorrow to discuss their merits. Oh, isn't Niu dead?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "It's not dead. This person's body is as strong as a cow. It's really rare. And... the person's waist is tied with a red belt."

"Red belt?" Zhang Jing was stunned, and then there was an unexpected look on her face.

The Jiannu people had the tradition of tying ties. The close relatives of the royal family, that is, Nurhaci's descendants, all tied yellow strips to show the honor of their royal family.

People with red belts have extraordinary identities. They are often descendants of Nurhaci's brothers. People with yellow belts are called royal families, while those with red belts are called "Jeluo", which are all the so-called royal families of the Jiannu people.

Unexpectedly, Niulu... was still a royal family.

Not only was Zhang Jingyi unhappy, but he seemed worried and frowned and asked, "What is this person's identity? Have you found out clearly?"

Lu Xiangsheng said, "He is the nephew of the thief chief, named Hatai. He is very tough and still scolds him!"

Zhang Jingyi had actually guessed that at this time, Nurhaci should have been dead, but the news had not yet reached the pass. And this man named Hatai was probably the grandson of the Nurhaci brothers!

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh: "When Emperor Taizu conquered the world, his sons and nephews were all incorporated into the army and used as vanguards. Now... the Jiannu clan actually charged forward with Niu Lu's identity, so... these talents should not be underestimated."

After hearing Zhang Jingyi's feelings, Lu Xiangsheng naturally knew that the problems of the Ming Dynasty royal family were very complicated and there were too many things that could not be said.

But Zhang Jingyi's feelings meant a certain meaning... but he also knew that this sentence was more regretful for the current situation of the Ming Dynasty! Naturally, this kind of topic must not be passed on to others. Only the relationship between Zhang Jingyi and Lu Xiangsheng can be revealed.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but say, "What do you plan to deal with the hundred households?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "I actually don't understand the red tape and rules. Now that things have been done, let the students take a good rest. Mr. Lu will deal with the next thing himself."

So Lu Xiangsheng said, "Then I... will I... prepare a book and report the success?"

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "It's good that this is the case. People are already in panic in the capital. Only by reporting the victory earlier can people's hearts be stable."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, pondered for a moment, then wrote the good news in its original form and gave it to Zhang Jing to take a look.

Zhang Jingyi was very tired. He had already changed from his blood-stained armor and was wearing only his underwear. Looking at the good news delivered by Lu Xiangsheng, he waved his hand and said, "No need to read it. I am relieved to do your business."

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but look at Zhang Jingyi with admiration. To be honest... Although he was the prefect of the prefect, he is now just a mere county magistrate, but this insignificant county magistrate is indeed much happier than the prefect who was the first to be the prefect of the prefect.

Lu Xiangsheng was not polite anymore and nodded, "I'm going to order people to report the victory, oh, yes... we found something strange here."

"Strange thing?" Zhang Jing looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said curiously: "What."

Lu Xiangsheng's expression suddenly became bad, and he said, "It's some muskets. Most of these muskets are three-eyed muskets, which are produced by my Ming Dynasty Manufacturing Bureau. It's strange... Logically speaking, these three-eyed muskets were cast at the beginning of this year and have not been transported to Liaodong yet. In other words, it is impossible to get them by the Jiannu people, but these things have not yet reached the hands of our border troops, but they have already reached the hands of the Jiannu people."

"Is that true?" Zhang Jingyi became alert and said affectionately and solemnly: "Do you mean... or this thief?"

Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "I can make firearms in the Ming Dynasty, but people regard these firearms as broken copper and iron. However, the Jiannu people regard them as treasures! Therefore, in Liaodong, they bought them at high prices. It is precisely because of this that some people may be greedy for these huge profits and take risks."

Zhang Jing suddenly felt anger in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I should investigate this matter thoroughly and put it away first, and then use it as physical evidence."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and replied: "Yes."

After saying that, he hurriedly called someone and asked him to ride a fast horse and report the report to the capital first.

The entire army will directly repair it without mentioning it.

……………………

In the capital, it is already like a great enemy.

Your Majesty has issued an edict, ordering all places to serve the king, so countless fast horses have divided the imperial list to various prefectures and counties.

But I originally thought that the military and civilians in the capital would be a little more stable, but the result... it caused even greater panic.

Of course, the previous rumors have intensified one step further, and people can't help but think that they have reached the point of serving the king. It is obvious that the thief is very powerful and the capital is in danger.

The factory guard's report... made Emperor Tianqi confused.

You were the ones who begged to be the king.

Now I have issued an order.

What is even more scared is yours.

In the past, you said, Oh, I’m so scared. As long as your Majesty issues an edict to serve the king, we will not be afraid.

Now my mind has become better. Look, Your Majesty is panicked and it’s over.

In this sad atmosphere.

Someone has begun to prepare for a way out.

Some people tried their best to send their children and nephews out of the city. When they heard that Tongzhou had not yet fallen, they bribed the garrison at the city gate and hung the people down the city, and then headed south to Nanjing.

Of course, there are still a few people who do this. After all,... it is very dangerous outside the city now. God knows whether the Jiannu people on the outside will take Tongzhou.

Some people also began to try their best to hide their wealth, so they dug holes around their own courtyard.

Some garrisoned Beijing camps also have some people's hearts.

Many nobles and ministers had their children trained in Beijing or personal guards. After all, they could not improve their studies and at least they could get an official position.

Now that I learned that the war might be going to fight, I might have lost my life. So many military officers in the Beijing camp and the personal guards had to take leave, or claim to be sick, or even be scared by rumors and disappeared.

This made Emperor Tianqi very angry. This is not the country’s raising scholars, but the country’s raising pigs.

A bunch of wine bags.

But he was also very proud, and he was very proud of himself, using reasons such as a gentleman not standing under a dangerous wall to comfort himself! This means that we are different from other mud legs. We are gentlemen, and only those bad guys can do stupid things.

The Ming Dynasty has been going through more than two hundred years, and this top-down attempt to make a profit has long become a trend and has long lost its spirit.

Of course, there are also some loyal people who can cause trouble, and they all ask to leave the city and fight to the death.

Just when you are worried.
