The north bank of Xiaolong River.
Chen Xinjia sat firmly at the head of the governor's tent behind the major case.
When he saw Zhang Cheng's respectful look towards him, Chen Xinjia was also very satisfied. He continued to speak warmly: "General Zhang, I heard that Mr. Lu once gave you a cousin letter?"
Zhang Cheng knew Chen Xinjia's words. Even if he wanted to get closer to him and call himself by the nickname in the future, he would be reminding himself that Chen Xinjia was now the governor of Xuanda.
Although he had something in mind, he replied with great respect on his face: "Reporting to the governor, Mr. Lu is indeed giving the last general a token of loyalty. He hopes that the last general will be loyal, serve the country, and be enthusiastic."
, protect the people!”
Chen Xinjia recited softly and said: "Loyalty, serve the country with loyalty, protect the people with enthusiasm! Good word, loyalty, don't let down Duke Lu's expectations."
Zhang Cheng clasped his fists and replied: "The general will definitely remember the teachings of his governor, work hard to become stronger, and make new achievements to repay the emperor's favor and live up to his expectations."
The contact has been established and the relationship has become closer. Chen Xinjia's goal has been achieved. Zhang Cheng chatted with him for a few more words, then left, went to the south gate to find Chen Zhong and other personal guards, and rode back to the camp.
…………
Zhang Cheng rode his horse back to the camp in the abandoned fort and told his subordinates about the division of troops in the third town of Xuanda. Immediately, the military tent was like a frying pan.
Hu Dake first said: "Why are we dividing our troops again? Are we going to kill the Tatars?"
Wu Zhizhong also frowned.
Chen Zheng on the side said in a deep voice full of worry: "The division of troops makes us weak. If this continues..."
He shook his head and sighed heavily, but did not continue.
Zhang Guangda's somewhat hoarse voice came: "Damn it, is that Gao Laoqun here to divide the troops again? Or is it Yang Dajiao? Damn it, I really want to kill these guys..."
If it spreads and is known to Gao Qiqian or Yang Sichang, Zhang Guangda's life may be in danger, and Zhang Cheng and even Zhang Yan may be implicated.
After being sternly shouted down by Zhang Cheng, Zhang Guangda wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Since the last time in Changping, when the commander-in-chief Gao Qiqian separated the army and horses of King Qin of Liaodong, there were some rumors among the Xuan army about the cabinet minister Yang Sichang and the commander-in-chief Gao Qiqian. They began to spread, saying that they negotiated with the slaves to lose money.
, the army of Governor Lu and King Xuan Daqin were hampered in every possible way. Even the food supply in the army was not in good condition, and it was their cabinet ministers and eunuchs who were behind the scenes.
Zhang Guangda is usually short-tempered and hot-tempered, but he still respects Zhang Cheng very much. Although he has deep feelings and is used to laughing, but now he was shouted down by Zhang Cheng, but he did not dare to refute, and just sat in his seat obediently.
, muttering softly.
The governor He Biao, who had always been sullen and expressionless, said at this time: "General, although our army is practicing frugality, the army's food supply is becoming increasingly tight. Did the governor say today when the food and grass will be distributed again?
"
There was silence in the military tent. Zhang Cheng picked up the water bowl on the table and took a sip of warm water before saying: "Hey, the government is weak and the government is in chaos. I'm afraid there will be no adequate supply of food and grass. According to the post,
According to reports, the Tartar sentries and cavalry have been dispatched frequently in recent days, and they seem to be on the verge of a large-scale invasion south. I estimate that our troops are likely to pursue the captives south and feed on the cities in Jinan."
All the generals in the tent had stern expressions and solemn faces. Zhang Cheng went on to say: "The battle between war and defense in the court is beyond our ability to discuss. The generals will follow me to the King of Wei Qin. They should be loyal to the king and serve the country.
Go forward and kill the slaves bravely,
As for food and grass, what our troops have in store is better than that of other camps. The governor will also try to raise it. For the time being, we should keep our stomach tight. When it is not a battle, we should be patient for a while. We must leave some surplus food to avoid running out of food.
, I can only look at the sky and sigh."
Then, everyone discussed some recent military matters and then dispersed.
…………
On October 25, the eleventh year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, in the evening, the sun had disappeared below the horizon, and there was only a faint light left in the sky.
In the east of Beijing, on the banks of the Tongzhou River, the Qing army camp was covered in white snow, with flakes of snow still falling.
The Qing army's camps were so densely packed that it seemed as if there was no end as far as the eye could see. Among the camps that stretched for hundreds of miles, flags of various colors were fluttering in the wind. They were all the flags of the Qing army's Eight Banners: Zhengbai Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, etc.
Among the camps of the Qing army that stretched for nearly a hundred miles, there was a particularly huge camp. There were several luxurious tents with flaming golden domes. There were several huge gold-woven dragon banners standing in front of the tents, and there were all kinds of people around it.
The elite Bajala camp sergeants in the flag patrolled and guarded the area.
Inside, there was a large luxurious tent, filled with Qing generals wearing gilt armor, all gathered in the tent.
At the top of the large tent, there are two large tables, with a Qing general wearing gilt armor sitting on each of them.
On the right side, sat a Qing general who looked to be less than thirty years old. He was quite tall and strong. The gilt armor on his body and his rough rectangular face made him look extremely heroic.
This man is none other than one of the commanders who entered the customs this time, the younger brother of Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty and Prince Aixinjueluo Dorgon of Shuorui. He was ordered by Huang Taiji to serve as a general and work with General Yangwu.
Yue Tuo divided his left and right armies into two groups and invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Dorgon broke through the wall from Dongjiakou, and Yuetuo broke down the wall from Qiangziling in Miyun. In October of the 11th year of Chongzhen, after the troops from both wings ravaged the capital of the Ming Dynasty, they gathered at the bank of the Tongzhou River.
At this time, Dorgon was the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, and his deputy on the left wing was the leader of the Xiangbai Banner, his brother Duduo.
The two brothers were originally supposed to be the flag masters of the Zhenghuang Banner and the Xianghuang Banner of Jiannu, but Huang Taiji usurped the position of the Great Khan of Jiannu as the leader of the Zhengbai Banner.
In order to consolidate his position, he changed his Zhengbai Banner to Zhenghuang Banner, and Dorgon's Zhenghuang Banner was forced to change its name to Zhengbai Banner.
Then he changed the name of his son Hauge's Xiangbai Banner to Xianghuang Banner, and the original Duduo's Xianghuang Banner was renamed Xiangbai Banner.
Although Huang Taiji struggled with the new white flags and the white flags, the two white flags of Dorgon and Duoduo were still very strong. The combined power of the three brothers Azige, Dorgon, and Duduo was among the eight banners.
Still ranked second.
This time Huang Taiji appointed Dorgon as the general and asked him to lead the army into the Ming Dynasty. This would not take the opportunity to weaken Dorgon because the strength of the Duduo brothers was part of the idea.
On the left side of the head above, there is also sitting a Qing general who is around forty years old. He is not tall and powerful. He has a rather fair and square face, but he does not have a beard. Although he is also wearing gilded clothes,
Wearing gold armor, but with a faint scholarly air, he is none other than General Yangwu Aisin Gioro Yue Tuo.
The leader of the banner with the red flag, Dorobele Yuetuo, was appointed as the general of Yangwu, and Doroan Pingbeile Dudu was his deputy. The two led the right-wing army in the capital of Kou Ming State, broke through Miyunqiangzi Ridge, and joined Dorgon.
