Before Zhang Cheng's military tent was finished discussing matters, Zhang Yan's soldiers came over and sent a message saying: "Yang Junmen personally came to inspect the seizures from the Battle of Shiqiao. Zhang Yan ordered officers above the sentinel commander to gather at the camp gate to greet them.
"
He ordered Sun Dashan and the three people who came with him to rest first, and hurriedly led the sentry commanders to the official road outside the camp gate to meet the commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu.
…
Yang Guozhu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, was in charge of his main barracks. The garrison area was located about ten miles south of Xiaolong River. He also occupied an abandoned village fort to build the main barracks.
More than ten miles west of where Yang Guozhu camped is the Linyuan Internal Supervisor's Office.
After Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Beijing, he expanded the Xiama Feifangbo of the Yuan Dynasty into the Nanhaizi Royal Hunting Ground. At the same time, he also built the Langdian Palace and the Linyuan Internal Supervisor's Office. He ordered the eunuchs to be stationed here to manage the affairs of Haizili, and established "
"Haihu Tun" is responsible for guarding and managing the affairs of Nanhaizi.
When Yang Guozhu learned that General Zhang Yan had captured more than 370 Tartar heads, he was so surprised that he suddenly stood up from his seat.
Guerrilla General Guo Yingxian, his close general in the Chinese army, also asked with suspicion: "Is it true or false? Brother Xiaocheng actually captured a Jia La Zhangjing? Lao Guo and I have been patrolling for days and fighting fiercely with the Tatars for many days. I also
Only a dozen heads were chopped off, and the governors were already full of praise. If this little Cheng brother really captured a live Jia La Zhang Jing, then..."
Guo Yingxian couldn't help twisting his boxy and strong figure, shaking his huge head, his eyes filled with incredible expressions.
Zhang Yan's general Lin Zhiyi, who came to report the good news, saw that both Yang Guozhu and Guo Yingxian were a little suspicious, so he smiled and said: "Please report to Yang Junmen and General Guo the heads of the Tartars and the Jia La Zhang of the Tartars."
Jing and his official banners and banners are all in my general's camp. If Yang Junmen doesn't believe it, he can go and inspect it himself, and then he will know that what the general said is true."
The commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu said eagerly: "Okay, I will go to the place where General Zhang is stationed to inspect."
Lin Zhiyi hurriedly asked to leave and returned to the camp to report to Zhang Yan.
Here, the commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu also hurriedly ordered Guo Yingxian, the general of the Chinese army, to summon a few personal guards. The group of people rode their horses and rolled out of the camp gate at the entrance of the village fort, heading south to where Zhang Yan was stationed.
He ran to ruin the fort everywhere.
…
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, on October 20th, the autumn wind carried withered branches and leaves, rolling them in the wilderness.
At this time, in the late autumn in the north of the Ming Empire, the skylight was already very dim. The sun was lying crookedly on the horizon, and its weak light seemed to be there. Although it could no longer shine on the earth, even such a weak afterglow was scattered on the horizon.
Everyone's face and body will still feel warm. Even if the bleak autumn wind blows on your body or face, you won't feel that cold!
After receiving Lin Zhiyi's report, General Zhang Yan quickly ordered his own soldiers to summon his nephew Zhang Cheng, as well as Qian Commander Liang Song and other sentry commanders to gather on the official road outside the camp gate, waiting to welcome the incoming commander-in-chief.
Yang Guozhu and his party.
The commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu and his party came rolling in on horseback. He did not bother to chat with the participating general Zhang Yan, and was eager to see the achievements of Zhang Yan's men.
General Zhang Yan led Yang Guozhu and other people into the camp inside the abandoned fort.
Guo Yingxian, who was following the commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu, grabbed Zhang Cheng and shouted in a loud voice: "Brother, how can you really catch a Tatar Zhang Jing?"
Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Yingxian's strange expression and almost laughed out loud. He forced himself not to laugh and replied: "Caught it, it's still alive. The armor, tiger and spear are all in it. If you don't believe it, just keep it to yourself."
Look. Hehe..."
Guo Yingxian still looked incredulous, his big head shaking back and forth.
The group came to an open space in the camp, where the soldiers under General Zhang Yan were busy using lime to prepare the heads of the newly captured Qing soldiers.
Looking at the piles of bald heads of the Qing army, the expression on the face of the commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu was very rich. His Chinese army general Guo Yingxian was panting heavily next to him.
Guo Yingxian quickly grabbed a few heads and took a closer look at them. He was a veteran in the army. Are these heads real Tatar heads, or did he come here to kill good people and take credit?
You can tell at a glance.
After looking at a few heads, he walked to another pile of heads next to them, grabbed a few more and looked at them carefully, and found that all of them were the heads of real slaves.
The commander-in-chief Yang Guozhu did not care much about these heads, because Zhang Cheng had the experience of capturing more than a hundred Qing army heads in the previous Battle of Ma Fang. He believed that this time they must also be the heads of real slaves, and Zhang Cheng,
Zhang Yan's uncle and nephew would not have checked the wrong number.
Since entering the camp, his eyes have been looking for the official banner of Jia La Zhangjing of the Qing army. There are nearly four hundred heads of real slaves of the Qing army, and there are no such piles of heads.
Behind it is the Jia La Zhang Jing Guan's banner.
Yang Guozhu looked at the official banner not far away. Although his expression was expressionless, he had been in the army for many years, what hadn't he seen?
But at this moment, his body was trembling slightly due to his excitement.
After a long time, Commander-in-Chief Yang Guozhu pulled Zhang Cheng over and looked at him kindly. The more he looked at him, the more he fell in love with him. He laughed and said: "Little Zhang Cheng, you are so brave and invincible. It is true that a hero comes from a young age. He is not only beheaded."
They captured Jiannu Jia Lazhangjing alive and captured the official banner. This really boosted the morale of our officers and soldiers in Xuanzhen. I think the governor would be extremely pleased to hear such good news."
It turned out that just a few days ago, a large group of Qing troops bypassed the defense line of Zhang Cheng and others at Liangshui River, attacked Marco Polo Bridge and Gongji City to the west, raised the commander-in-chief's army who was defending that place from his hiding place, and then fled in great defeat.
.
In order to evade responsibility, Gao Qiqian actually teamed up with his cabinet minister Yang Sichang to suppress the gains made by Lu Xiangsheng's troops in recent days and the achievements of defending the place. He also pushed the responsibility for the fall of Marco Polo Bridge and Gongji City onto Lu Xiangsheng.
Emperor Chongzhen went to Meishan to look at the southwest countryside outside the capital for several nights in a row. The fire burning all night made him extremely anxious.
At the same time, all information about Lu Xiangsheng was deliberately suppressed by Yang Sichang and was not uploaded to Tianting. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had no idea that Lu Xiangsheng was leading his generals at this moment to strictly guard the Liangshui River defense line and fight fiercely with the Tartars day and night.
Due to being deceived by Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang, Emperor Chongzhen actually vented all his resentment on Lu Xiangsheng. He issued an edict, severely reprimanding Lu Xiangsheng for fearing the enemy and avoiding fighting, and working in vain.
He took back the Shangfang sword given by the emperor.
Now only the generals know about this matter. Although other generals have heard about guerrillas, they don’t know the details. Therefore, Yang Guozhu thought that this great victory was enough to comfort the governors, and this great victory also comforted the cabinet minister Yang Si.
Chang Ye will definitely not dare to hide anything and not report it again.
Zhang Cheng didn't know what Yang Guozhu was thinking in his heart. He hurriedly added: "It's all thanks to the military's blessing that the last general has achieved such success."
