Chapter 1421 Queen Song: This is truly a couple given to her by God
baby……
Jinzhou City
On Azige's side, one of his arms was cut off by Jia Heng. He was in an inexplicable state of fright. He rode toward the city with the retinue of surrounding generals.
The long sword in Jia Heng's palm turned into a sword light in the air. The sword light shone brightly in his eyes, like a white bolt falling from the sky, sharp and clear.
Several of Azig's Ma Bian guards came closer to help Azig get a chance to escape. Just as he attacked with a knife, he saw a flash of the knife. Not long after, he felt a blood mist in front of his eyes, and then several people
In an instant, he fell into endless darkness.
Jia Heng was riding on a horse, holding a long iron sword, and beheaded the horse with its head bent.
At this moment, Azig covered his bleeding arm with one hand and turned his horse to escape.
The long sword in Jia Heng's palm swept through thousands of troops, and there was almost no enemy under his sword. After a while, he was already catching up.
At this moment, Azig felt the soul of the dead rising, and his eyes under his thick eyebrows were extremely horrified.
And one arm was still spurting blood crazily. Even a strong man with strong blood would gradually become weak due to such constant blood loss.
Azig was no exception. At this moment, his eyes were turning black and his body was getting weaker and weaker.
But at this moment, the murderous intent behind him seemed to be gradually approaching, and a fierce wind of swords roared towards his neck.
Feeling the murderous intention approaching, Azig's heart sank to the bottom. He felt unprecedented despair hit his heart, and then, a stinging pain came from his neck.
"Pfft..."
Azig was startled, and when he looked back, he saw a headless corpse riding a horse, galloping forward with the horse at his hip.
Then, Azig's consciousness fell into an endless darkness.
Jia Heng stared at Azig's body, his eyes a little dazed.
The numerous Jurchen princes, Duduo, Yuetuo, and Haoge, have been gradually wiped out. At this point, the Jurchens no longer have a captive king who is good at conquering.
Of course, there is also Dorgon.
At this moment, a large number of soldiers of the Han army were already in Jinzhou City, attacking the Eight Banners bannermen in the city. With the "clang" of weapons clashing and the sound of sharp blades "squeaking" into flesh, many Eight Banners soldiers
The bannerman screamed and fell into a pool of blood.
However, the Jurchen Eight Banners still did not collapse. Under the leadership of the Jurchen Dutong, Shenling, Zuoling and other generals, they fought hard to resist.
However, with the death of Azig, the morale of the Jurchen Eight Banners, who originally wanted to fight the Han army to the death and perished with the city, gradually waned.
At this moment, the cavalry of the 12th Regiment of the Han Army's Beijing Camp were methodically dividing and surrounding the Eight Banners bannermen in the city, clearing them bit by bit.
At this moment, Jia Heng was leading his troops to provide support at any time, constantly extinguishing the flames of resistance set off by the Jurchen Eight Banners at any time.
The cry of killing shook the entire city at this moment.
About six to seven thousand Jurchen Eight Banners retreated to the inner city, while thousands more Jurchen Eight Banners escaped through the city gate.
Jia Heng dispatched troops and horses to continue the attack on the inner city. In addition, he sent troops and horses to pursue the fleeing Jurchen Eight Banners.
In the evening, the sky was filled with sunset, and the fighting everywhere gradually calmed down.
Chen Xiao also entered the city accompanied by a group of royal guards.
Jia Heng looked calm and said loudly: "Ajige is dead, Jinzhou City is destroyed, and the next step is Shengjing City."
Chen Xiao asked: "Didn't Cao Bianjiao send troops to pursue him? We should be able to catch up with Dorgon by now."
"It's easy to keep some soldiers and horses, but it's not easy to keep Dorgon." Jia Heng thought for a moment and said.
He has always been very clear-headed. A big fish like Dorgon is obviously not easy to catch, and when they fled into Shengjing, it was another hard battle to destroy the country.
But it's normal.
As time passed quietly, at this moment, a resolute-looking palace guard in Jinyi came over and reported: "Captain, the Eight Banners in the city have been cleared. Please come to the government office to rest."
Jia Heng turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "Let's go."
Chen Xiao nodded, then took the reins of the horse and followed.
official office
This official office, where Dorgon and Azig previously held their meetings and offices, has been lit with candles. The candles are brightly lit, and the space is bright and spacious.
On the stone steps in the courtyard, you can see the grass swaying in the summer wind, and the blood stains are visible, and the air is filled with the smell of hunting blood.
Jia Heng sat behind a lacquered wooden bench, reading the reports sent by generals from various places, and said: "This time, our army also suffered many casualties."
The nearly 100,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses were not 100,000 pigs, but 100,000 tiger and wolf soldiers. Although the Han army relied on fire blunderbuss to achieve killings these days, they still inevitably suffered a large number of casualties when fighting in close combat.
This is the consumption of national power caused by the war between the two countries. Post-war pensions and relief require a large amount of national funds.
Chen Xiaoxing came closer and asked: "How many casualties are there?"
Jia Heng looked away from the book and said: "Nearly 20,000 people, about 12,000 soldiers died in the battle, and nearly 10,000 people were injured."
This is actually a huge casualty. It can only be said that this war was really tragic.
Of course, the results of this battle were equally brilliant. Only Dorgon's 30,000 soldiers of the Jurchen Eight Banners who originally numbered over 100,000 people escaped. In addition, many soldiers who fled from the city after the previous battle were all annihilated.
There are about 50,000 enemy invaders.
The battle loss ratio was close to 2.5, and they were the siege party. This was already a great victory that could be recorded in history.
The main reason was to capture Jinzhou City and achieve the expected strategic goal.
Jia Heng said softly: "Tomorrow morning, flying pigeons will deliver letters to Shenjing. In addition, they will draft military reports to Shenjing."
Chen Xiao nodded.
After a while, the guard brought a red jujube wood tray with several plates of steaming dishes, all delicious and delicious.
Jia Heng trimmed his eyebrows, raised his eyes, looked at Chen Xiao quietly, and said, "Let's not talk about anything else for now. Let's have some food together, and then we'll talk about other things."
Chen Xiao responded, and then didn't say much.
On the other side, Cao Bianjiao led a cavalry army to pursue the soldiers and horses led by Dorgon. They left the city and pursued them towards Shengjing City.
Finally, at around noon, we encountered a group of soldiers and horses left behind by Dorgon.
It was Dorgon's commander with a white flag who led 3,000 elite cavalry and appeared on Cao Bianjiao's path to stop the Han army's pursuers.
Cao Bianjiao stared at the capital with a white flag and shouted: "Where is Dorgon?"
On the bearded face, livid anger surged, and he said angrily: "You are so rude, how dare you insult my prince?"
As he spoke, the commander drove the black-maned horse under his crotch. Suddenly, he waved a saber in his palm into a blazing light and killed Cao Bianjiao head-on.
"Dangdang..."
The spear in Cao Bianjiao's palm stabbed sharply towards Dutong's face.
At this moment, the cavalry of both sides collided suddenly. The sound of swords clashing and the shouts of killing shook the surrounding areas. The shouts of killing could be heard and spread throughout the entire battlefield in an instant.
Just like this, there were only two rounds, Nadu Tong was startled, turned his horse and ran away, and then, several horse guards held the reins of their horses and held weapons, and killed Cao Bianjiao.
Along with the exchange of swords and guns, sparks can be seen flying.
After a while, along with the sound of "puff", I heard the generals holding weapons and blocking the road, with blood foam on their chests and necks.
Cao Bianjiao drove his horse and chased the general in front.
At this moment, thousands of cavalrymen of the Han army were fighting with the bannermen of the Eight Banners. The battle between the two sides lasted from afternoon to nightfall.
This undoubtedly bought Dorgon's troops time to escape.
Cao Bianjiao pursued this cavalry army all the way north. Apparently, this process gradually disrupted the pursuit direction of the army.

Shenjing City, Palace Garden
After receiving the letter from Fei Ge, Emperor Chongping calmed down his excitement and urgently summoned the chief minister of the cabinet and several ministers from the Military Aircraft Department to discuss the military situation.
Hanyuan Hall, inner study room
Emperor Chongping sat down on a low couch covered with soft mattresses. His sunken, dark cheeks were flushed with red.
At this moment, the frail emperor fell into an unspeakable excitement.
"Your Majesty." Li Zan and Gao Zhongping saluted Emperor Chongping and said.
Emperor Chongping said: "Two beloved ministers, Jia Ziyu has just delivered a message from Feige, saying that the city of Hetuala has been conquered by the generals sent by Mu Sheng, the prince of Dongping County, and that this old Jurchen village has fallen into the hands of my great Han."
Upon hearing this, all the cabinet ministers and military planes suddenly showed joy on their faces.
Li Zan's eyes were bright and his voice could not hide the joy and excitement as he said: "The city of Hetuala is the home of the Jurchens. Before they captured Shenyang Guards, they gathered in Hetuala and now destroyed their nest. It can be said to cut off its foundation."
To use a taboo saying, this is the land of Longxing for the Jurchens, but now it has been breached, and the so-called destiny no longer exists.
It's a bit like, in parallel time and space, during the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty, the Fengyang ancestral land was conquered by the peasant army.
Gao Zhongping nodded and said: "I heard that the slave chief is now buried in Hetuala City. Once this city is destroyed, the Jurchens in Shengjing will be greatly shocked."
"Ziyu is still in Jinzhou right now, and there are nearly one hundred thousand Jurchen bannermen there. To confront him, and with this victory, Ziyu's side should be much better off." Emperor Chongping said in a low voice.
Gao Zhongping nodded and asked: "Your Majesty, can you let the King of Beijing and the Korean allied forces attack the Shenyang Guard from the north and the south to regain our homeland of the Han Dynasty?"
Emperor Chongping heard this and said loudly: "Two armies, are you going to recapture Shenyang Guard?"
The middle-aged emperor frowned, seemed to think for a moment, and said: "This matter depends on how Ziyu deploys his troops and generals. The frontline fighters are changing rapidly, and we cannot command each other from a distance."
Gao Zhongping raised his hands and said, "What the Holy One said makes sense."
Emperor Chongping turned his attention to Qi Kun and asked: "How many months has this war been going on? Can the treasury still be able to sustain it?"
At this time, Qi Kun said loudly: "This year's summer grain harvest will be bumper. After the grains are returned to the warehouse, the national treasury will have enough grain. The customs will collect grain and silver from this year's tax."
Emperor Chongping nodded and said: "Although we are not short of rice and grain, we should purchase more. After this national war, I don't know how much national money will be consumed."
To put it bluntly, this is still the work of Zi Yu. He is so complete in culture, Taoism and military strategy. How will future generations control him?
It's really unsettling.
Emperor Chongping suppressed the irritability in his heart, nodded, and said: "The war on the front line is at a critical moment. The Ministry of Household Affairs should be diligent and frugal to avoid shortage of food and fodder on the front line."
Qi Kun handed over his hand.
Emperor Chongping said: "The Ministry of War, is there a sufficient supply of ordnance?"
Shi Jie, the Minister of War, cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the Holy Spirit. We have sufficient weapons, honor guards, armor, artillery and guns."
Emperor Chongping spoke for a while, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and said: "I am also tired, please leave."
The ministers bowed their hands in response, and then slowly retreated.
As a group of cabinet military aircraft left, Emperor Chongping also leaned on a pearwood chair with his weak and hunched figure, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.
Dai Quan called out: "Your Majesty, come to the imperial couch and rest."
Emperor Chongping said "hmm" and nodded, then with the help of Dai Quan, he came to the bed decorated with brocade curtains.
Palace Garden, Kunning Palace
After seeing off Emperor Chongping, Empress Song came to the bedroom. At this moment, a pair of children were in the palace, being led by several nuns and maids.
"Mother." At this moment, the little girl Qianqian came quickly, looked at the graceful beauty, and called her softly.
Chen Luo, who was not far away, also raised a fair face, came quickly and said: "Mother."
The fair-skinned beauty looked at the couple, her beautiful face smiled brightly, and said, "What are you two playing at?"
When looking at these two children, especially looking at Luo Er's eyebrows that look like a little fox, it is inevitable to miss them.
I don’t know what happened to the little fox in Liaodong, or whether he thought of her.
Probably not. That little fox must have been tired of playing with her a long time ago.
The beauty thought angrily in her heart.
Qianqian's pink little face had a sweet smile and said: "Mom, Sister Lan'er made me a bamboo dragonfly, and my brother snatched it for me."
The Empress of Song Dynasty, with her charming eyebrows under her willow-leaf eyebrows, seemed to be scolded and said: "He is so good that he insists on competing for it."
As he said that, he came closer, pinched his child's pink cheeks, and stared at a pair of pink and jade-carved children, feeling a little sweet in his heart.
These are truly a pair of babies given to her by God.
Sitting close to her, she held her daughter's slender hand. Holding that soft and soft hand in her hand was even more rare for the beauty.
With a pair of big eyes like black grapes, she said in a waxy voice: "Mother, where is Sister Xianning?"
Empress Song had a smile on her face and said in a charming voice, "Your sister Xianning is pregnant with a baby and is raising her baby in the palace."
"Sister Xianning, is she going to give birth to a baby?" Qianqian said in a waxy voice with her flawless face.
Queen Song smiled and said with emotion: "Yes."
If we talk about it, the child in Qianqian and Xianning's belly is still...
The beauty twisted her eyebrows, suppressed the inexplicable thoughts in her heart, and said with a smile: "Let's go and see it together."
The little girl responded.
With that said, he took a pair of children to Funing Palace.
Because Concubine Duanrong was not worried about her daughter Xianning's marriage, she took Xianning to Funing Palace and took care of her with some nuns.
Li Chanyue and Song Yan also entered the palace and accompanied Princess Xianning to talk.
At this moment, Princess Xianning's original cold and bright face was obviously a little rounder and rounder.
The lower abdomen has been pregnant for a long time, and gradually swelled into a ball, and the body was gradually filled with a milky smell.
Concubine Duanrong's eyes were as bright as water. She looked at Princess Xianning with concern and said softly: "Xianning, you must be extra careful these few months and don't move around randomly."
Princess Xianning stretched out her hand to gently caress her bulging belly, with a happy and sweet smile on her face, and said, "Concubine, I will be careful."
This is her husband's first child that she is pregnant with. It is a testimony of the love between her and her husband, and there must be no mistakes.
Li Chanyue held Princess Xianning's slender catkins and said, "Cousin, you can't sit all the time these days. You still have to move around a little."
Princess Xianning nodded, smiled and said, "Chanyue, how do you know this?"
Li Chanyue's face, which was as white as snow, turned red with shame, and she lowered her eyes slightly, feeling a little ashamed.
In fact, she also listened to what her mother said.
These experiences will come in handy when she has children.
But after her husband left, there still seemed to be no movement in her stomach.
But it's not just her, sister Yan'er also...
As he said that, he glanced at Song Yan, who had her bun rolled up and her facial features resembled Empress Song's, and her eyes fell on her lower abdomen.
Song Yan was aware of it keenly. She blinked her smart eyes and looked at Li Chanyue curiously.
Why is Sister Chanyue looking at her belly?
After a while, the maid from outside bowed her head and entered the palace, announcing, "Your Majesty, the Queen has arrived."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong trimmed her eyebrows and looked at Princess Xianning, saying, "You wait here, I'll go and greet her."
Just when she got up, she saw Empress Song coming in from outside the palace. Her fragrant and jade-skinned face was filled with joy. Not far away, several nuns were holding baby boys and girls.
Come quickly.
Concubine Duanrong said: "Sister, why did you bring Qianqian and Luoer here?"
Queen Song said: "This is not Qianqian thinking about Xianning."
"Sister Xianning." Qianqian, who was held in Mammy's arms, looked at Princess Xianning, stretched out her two chubby little white hands, greeted Princess Xianning, and said in a sweet voice.
Princess Xianning's beautiful eyebrows were covered with joy, and she said softly: "Qianqian."
Empress Song smiled sweetly, her eyes bright and soft, and said: "Your Majesty just received a letter from Ziyu flying pigeons."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, her beautiful face as white as snow was slightly surprised, and she said softly: "What's going on?"
At this moment, Princess Xianning, Li Chanyue, and Song Yan stared at Empress Song, their eyes sparkling, as if they contained a clear spring.
Empress Song smiled and explained: "Fei Ge sent a message saying that it seems that the Jurchen's old village was captured, and it was called Hetu."
After all, it was too convoluted, and this beauty felt a little stuck for a while.
Xia Shouzhong nodded, answered with a smile, and said, "Madam, this is the city of Hetuala."
When Concubine Duanrong heard this, her eyes showed thoughtfulness.
Princess Xianning's clear eyes flickered and she said softly: "When will Sir come back?"
Empress Song said: "We should be confronting the Jurchens in Jinzhou City right now. It will take a month or two before we can come back."
Princess Xianning stretched out her hand to gently caress her bulging belly and said, "I don't know if I can come back before the baby is born."
Concubine Duanrong said: "Probably I can't catch up. Shengjing won't be able to do it for half a year. I'm afraid I can't predict it."
While speaking, Concubine Duanrong looked at Princess Xianning and the three sisters Song Yan and Li Chanyue.
The three of them, together with Ziyu, also spend less time together and more time apart.
