Chapter 1423 Chen Xiao: After this battle, the Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated in a century
Prosperity!
Shengjing City, Military Tent
Jia Fang led a group of cavalry back to the Chinese army's camp, quickly walked a few steps into the military tent, faced Wang Shuirong of Beijing, cupped his fists and said, "Why did the prince ring gold just now?"
Beijing Wang Shuirong's bright eyes showed appreciation and said: "General Jia, the enemy has already fled to Shengjing City. It will be useless to pursue them any longer."
Kang Hong was handsome, with a smile on his fair face, and said: "I know that General Xiao Jia is brave, but we can't fight too much. Besides, today, General Xiao Jia's men should have captured thousands."
When Jia Fang heard this, she didn't dare to insist on it.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing also smiled and praised: "General Xiao Jia has attacked and killed many Jurchen defeated troops before. General Xiao Jia is so brave that he intimidates the enemy invaders. The Jurchens are frightened when they hear this."
Jia Fang said: "All the soldiers under my command sacrificed their lives to death, and the last general dare not take the credit."
Beijing Wang Shuirong, Kang Hong, and Wei Che smiled, and they all felt emotions in their hearts.
Young people are still eager to make achievements, but they are holding back their anger.
But why aren't they like this? Once Shengjing City is destroyed, all three of them will be remembered in history and promoted to high officials.
…
…
Jinzhou City, among the government offices——
Jia Heng sat behind a lacquered wooden table, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it.
Not far away is Chen Xiao, who is wearing a flying fish suit with exquisite embroidery patterns. He holds his hands on his shoulders and holds a beautifully embroidered spring knife with a sheath on his waist.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, then he turned to look at Chen Xiao and said, "How do you think we should deal with these Han generals, Xiaoxiao?"
After the city of Jinzhou was broken, the imperial army captured many surrendered Han generals. Of course, some of them took the initiative to surrender to the Han army after the Han army broke the city.
Compared with the stubborn generals of the Ding Banners of the Jurchen Eight Banners, who chose to serve the Manchus until death, the generals of the Han army, who were originally of the same origin as the Han Dynasty, were much more frank when faced with the proposition of surrender.
Chen Xiaoqing looked at it intently and said, "What are you going to do?"
Jia Heng said: "What else can we do? I will forgive his sins and treat him as a guest at the table."
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said: "Are you showing it to the general of the Han Army Flag in Shengjing City?"
Jia Heng smiled and praised: "The person who knows me is Xiaoxiao."
Chen Xiao's eyebrows were curved and his beautiful eyes were flowing. He glanced at the young man as if he was angry and said: "The military report that Jinzhou City has been captured and Azige was killed has been delivered to Shenjing City."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "It should be sent back."
In the past two months, it can be said that Emperor Chongping has received good news one after another. I wonder if his body and bones are too excited amidst such good news...
Sometimes, he doesn't want to get himself into some moral dilemma.
Chen Xiao looked at the young man in the python suit with clear eyes like spring under his dark eyebrows, and said: "What if the Jurchens were defeated a year ago?"
Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao and said softly: "Follow the trend and don't force it. Even if the Jurchens were destroyed a year ago, they will have to follow the example after the year."
In fact, he is not worried about waiting to go back and then sit on the bench from now on.
Although it sounds a bit frustrating to pretend to be a grandson for a while, patience is a required course for countless politicians who have experienced ups and downs.
I was afraid that before Emperor Chongping died, he would become cruel and take him away.
Isn't it impossible, son-in-law? In front of the great Han Dynasty, even a biological son can't do it!
The truth is, knowing that I have sinned against myself, it is only the Spring and Autumn Period.
Chen Xiao's clear eyes flashed under his eyebrows and he said: "If Liaodong is pacified, how will it be governed? Have you thought about it?"
Jia Heng thought for a while and said: "Establishing a government system, and at the same time immigrating from the interior to the border areas. Since the implementation of the national policy of allotment of children into acres of land, the people's willingness to have children has increased. It took more than ten or twenty years for the world's population to double.
At that time, although Kyushu had a vast territory, there was no arable land, but the Liaodong frontier fortress had arable land, which was enough to solve the people's livelihood worries."
When the time comes, he will also change the Chen-Han version of "Beidahuang" to "Beidacang", making the Northeast a food production base for the Han Dynasty. In this way, even a hundred years later, the civil servants in the court will not choose to abandon the vast Northeast.
plain.
In addition, there are many mineral resources in Northeast China that need to be excavated and discovered.
Chen Xiao's clear and bright eyes flickered, and he said softly: "At that time, there were many people and little land. The rich were surrounded by roads and the poor had no place to stand. If things go on like this, the people will be resentful and it will easily arouse civil unrest."
Jia Heng's eyes were blank and he murmured: "Yes, the cycle of fighting chaos begins from here."
Therefore, innovation is always on the way.
Under Chen Xiao's shaving eyebrows, her bright eyes as bright as rainbows were thoughtful, and she said softly: "Even if you immigrate to the real border, it will only solve the problem for one life, not forever."
Jia Heng said: "It would be great if it can be solved in one lifetime. How can there be a system that will last forever? How can there be a dynasty that will last forever?"
The so-called "Book of Changes" mainly embodies a change, from which wise men can observe patterns and then predict the future.
Chen Xiao smiled to himself and said, "That's what you said."
Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Jia Heng said as he came out of the government hall and prepared to inspect the city defense of Jinzhou before leaving Jinzhou.
Walking on the streets, you can still smell the smell of hunting blood.
The day before yesterday, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses fought in a battle, and an unknown number of people fell in a pool of blood, causing a large number of casualties.
Jia Heng, accompanied by the guards of Jinyi Mansion, inspected turrets, high platforms and other objects along the city defense.
At this moment, a guard in brocade clothes came up on horseback. He turned over and dismounted, stared at the young man in python suit, and said: "Captain, His Royal Highness the King of Wei and the King of Chu are here."
Previously, the two vassal kings of Wei and Chu were hoarding grain, fodder, and ordnance in Ningyuan City. Now when they heard that Jinzhou City had been captured by the Han army, they couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
When Jia Heng heard this, he stared at the subordinates on the side and said softly: "Come with me to have a look."
While he was talking, he came to the vicinity of the city gate, and happened to see the Wei and Chu vassals approaching with a group of personal soldiers and retinues.
"Ziyu." Wei Wang Chen Ran walked a few steps quickly, looked at the boy in the python suit with a smile, and said.
The city of Jinzhou was destroyed again, but Ziyu was still able to conquer and fight well.
King Chu walked a few steps quickly, with a look of joy on his face as well, and said softly: "It is really gratifying and congratulatory for Ziyu to have conquered Jinzhou City."
Jia Heng nodded, stretched out his hand to invite you, and said warmly: "You two princes, you have worked hard all the way."
Wei Wang Chen Ran looked at Jia Heng with somewhat eager eyes and said: "Zi Yu, Jinzhou City has been captured. When will we send troops to Shengjing?"
If troops were sent to Shengjing, he would definitely go with the army. Not to mention anything else, he would follow Jia Ziyu into Shengjing together. There is a record in the history books.
Jia Heng said: "Two princes, this is not the place to talk. Please come to the Yamen Hall to talk."
King Chen Qin of Chu nodded, and then he and King Chen Ran of Wei followed Jia Heng into the government hall.
While the three of them were talking, the host and guest took their seats.
Jia Hengxu said: "In the past two days, but this time the army is attacking Shengjing, the two princes please prepare more food and ordnance for the frontline soldiers to attack the city. This battle is not the battle of Jinzhou, Shengjing City
It is the city that is the capital of the Jurchen Eight Banners. The city is majestic and strong. Facing the danger of annihilation of the country, the Jurchen clan in the city will definitely share the same hatred and unite as one."
King Chen Qin of Chu nodded and said: "What Zi Yu said is true. A trapped beast still fights."
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "Ziyu, please rest assured. This time the grain and fodder are allocated and transported from Shanhaiguan, there are still one million stones to supply the entire war effort."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "There was originally some grain and fodder in the city. When the city was destroyed, the Jurchen Eight Banners soldiers had not yet had time to burn it. Now there is no shortage of grain and fodder for the time being, but the confrontation with the Jurchens in Shengjing City will last more than one day.
"
Chen Ran, the king of Wei, said: "Ziyu, will the Jurchens be destroyed as soon as the Shengjing City is destroyed? Can our army return to the capital?"
Jia Heng explained: "After the Jurchens usurped the title, most of the Jurchen clan who originally lived in the deep mountains and forests moved to Shengjing City. After several previous recruitments and transfers, the number of soldiers had been greatly reduced. After the Shengjing City was destroyed, even
There are some Jurchens and Mongolians who live in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are only suffering from scabies, so there is nothing to worry about."
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded, his eyes flashing fiercely, and he echoed: "What Zi Yu said hit the nail on the head, just like clearing the clouds and seeing the mist."
King Chu also nodded, with a look of approval on his face.
I thought to myself that this King of Wei was so flattering that it was an insult to the clan...
Jia Heng said again: "No matter what, Liaodong has a vast territory and rich products. If we cultivate and cultivate it well, it can be a grain field for our great Han Dynasty."
Wei Wang Chen Ran nodded.
In Mr. Deng's words, no matter what happens now, he can only infinitely agree with Jia Ziyu's policy strategy, and leave the rest for later.
Moreover, after Jia Ziyu pacified Liaodong, he was bound to be worried about losing all his power. So since he agreed with his political strategy, it was only natural that he would reuse him in the future.
This is called soothing his heart.
Jia Heng added: "If Liaodong does not immigrate to the border area, return to the local area, and blindly implement the policy of restraining foreigners, alien races such as the Jurchens will rise again in the future, and there will never be peace in the border areas."
The King of Chu smiled and answered: "From the Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, to the Wuhu, the Turks, the Mongols, and even to the Jurchens today, everything is like this. The wild fire cannot be burned out, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "So this time we must solve this serious problem for future generations once and for all."
King Chu looked at the young man in the python suit with burning eyes and said: "What Zi Yu said is true."
At this moment, the King of Chu also followed the advice of the royal palace chief Shi Liao Xian to a certain extent, which was to maintain a high degree of consistency with Duke Wei on major political policies.
At this moment, a guard in Jinyi entered the yamen hall, cupped his hands and said: "Captain, the banquet has been prepared."
Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at the Wei and Chu clans, and said softly: "Two princes, let's have dinner first."
While talking, Jia Heng and the two kings of Wei and Chu went to the side hall to have a reception banquet.
Time flies by like water, and before you know it, three days have passed.
During these three days, the Beijing Camp was on the one hand resting and training the soldiers, and on the other hand replenishing ordnance and ammunition.
The Han army of the 12th Regiment Camp in Beijing, after a short rest in Jinzhou City, left 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard the prisoners and guard Jinzhou City, and the remaining more than 100,000 troops quickly set off towards Shengjing City.
"Dong dong..."
The sound of the cowhide drum set up was as dense as raindrops, deafening. At this moment, the vibration caused the birds in the field to fly in all directions.
An army of 150,000 troops marched out of Jinzhou City Gate and headed towards Shengjing City.
Under the Chinese military banner with the word "handsome" in red flames and black satin, Jia Heng was dressed in a beautifully embroidered python suit and wore a crown with the word "Wuyishan" on his head. His face was as calm as Xuan Shui.
On the saddle not far away, Chen Xiao pressed a sheathed embroidered spring knife on his waist. Under Liu Ye's slender eyebrows, his eyes flashed like dew, and said: "Xiehou has already gone to Shengjing City first."
.”
Cao Bianjiao's 7,000 cavalry army has served as the vanguard, galloping all the way on the front line, heading towards Shengjing City first.
Jia Heng said with emotion: "The army gathered in Shengjing City and conquered the important city in one fell swoop. From then on, the ownership of Liaodong was determined."
Under Chen Xiao's slender eyebrows, his clear eyes looked far away, and he sighed: "After this battle, the Han Dynasty will be prosperous for a hundred years!"
While the two were talking, the army marched towards Shengjing City in a mighty manner, with the flags behind them roaring, and the ranks of soldiers winding like snakes, meandering towards Shengjing City.
…
…
Shengjing City, Palace Garden——
Dorgon finished his bath, put on a brand new prince's python suit, and lay on the bed behind a bamboo and stone screen with his eyes closed and dozing off.
This desperate run all the way really made Dorgon mentally exhausted.
At this moment, the maid who was waiting outside bowed Yingying and called out, "I have seen the Queen Mother."
After Dorgon heard this, he slowly opened his old and dull eyes, stood up from the bamboo couch, and raised his eyes to look at the beauty with the fragrance on her body.
Concubine Zhuang was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with her hair like waterfalls of green silk combed into a cloud bun. She was so beautiful and majestic. When she opened her mouth, her voice was soft and soft, and she asked: "Fourteenth brother, have you rested now?"
Dorgon said: "I can't sleep now, why are you here?"
In the past nearly a year, Dorgon often stayed in the palace in the name of handling government affairs, and almost lived a married life with Concubine Zhuang.
Therefore, the conversation between the two at this moment was as normal as that of a husband and wife.
Under Concubine Zhuang's beautiful eyebrows, her clear eyes were as bright as water, her face was full of worry, her voice was full of sorrow and pathos, she said softly: "Fourteenth brother, now the army is pressing down on the country, I am the Qing Dynasty."
Where will it go from here?”
Under Dorgon's thick eyebrows, which were like heavy ink, his crystal eyes were dull and absent-minded. Immediately, he said loudly: "It's just that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it."
Under Concubine Zhuang's delicate eyebrows, her clear and clear eyes were full of worry, and she said worriedly: "Fourteenth brother, if the city of Shengjing is destroyed, what will be the plan?"
Dorgon's handsome and fair face gradually showed a tragic meaning, and he spoke passionately and impassionedly: "Since I am a descendant of the Aixinjueluo clan and died with the city, I am the descendant of the Aixinjueluo clan.
duty of."
When Concubine Zhuang heard this, her pink face with fragrant skin became as pale as paper, and she was silent for a moment.
This was obviously not what Concubine Zhuang wanted to hear, and she wanted to hold her son Fulin in her arms to be buried with the Qing Dynasty.
Is the sky of Qing Dynasty really going to fall?
Dorgon nodded and said in a clear voice: "If it comes to emergency, I will have someone escort you and Fulin out of Shengjing City and go to the Mongolian grassland to live in anonymity and live in peace."
Under the slender eyebrows of Concubine Zhuang, her clear eyes were as bright as water, and her voice was slightly choked as she said, "Fourth brother."
At this moment, Dorgon, under his thick eyebrows, stared at Concubine Zhuang and said softly: "Don't act like a child. It's destiny. What's the point?"
Nowadays, Shengjing City has accumulated more than 100,000 troops and horses, and the Han court's hundreds of thousands of troops are besieging the city one after another.
With Dorgon's intelligence and self-confidence, he would not dare to say that he would survive a desperate situation.
After all, not everyone is Liu Xiu who can summon meteorites.
Concubine Zhuang thought for a while and said: "Didn't the fourteenth brother say before that Mandahai is still leading troops outside? If the city holds out until winter and the Han army's food route is not maintained, the soldiers and horses in the city and the soldiers outside the city should cooperate with each other inside and outside."
The pampered Concubine Zhuang obviously did not want to take Fulin to the grassland and wander around.
Under his thick eyebrows, Dorgon looked worried and said dejectedly: "This is only a slim possibility. The Han army outside the city is pressing heavily and will not give me a chance to the Qing Dynasty."
How could the young Jia Heng of the Han army be easy to get along with? When additional troops arrive from Jinzhou, it is unknown whether Shengjing City can be defended by heavy troops.
It can be said that in the continuous military defeats, Dorgon has been completely troubled by the shadow of defeatism.
Concubine Zhuang's face was as pale as paper. She bit her lips and said softly: "Fourteenth Brother, what should I do about this?"
Dorgon sighed and said: "We can only take one step at a time, do our best, and obey fate."
Concubine Zhuang was silent for a moment.
Obviously, it's hard to explain Dorgon's "showing off" mentality.
When Concubine Zhuang raised her eyes, she caught the look of tiredness on Dorgon's face and said softly: "My fourteenth brother has been tired all the way, so I'd better rest more. I'm going back first."
Dorgon nodded at this moment and lay down on the bed to rest. While he closed his eyes and rested his mind, he was thinking about ways to defeat the enemy.
It was now mid-to-late August, and when Jia Heng's son arrived, he had to resist until November. The weather would be cold at that time, and his strength would be greatly reduced. Perhaps that would be his only chance to make a comeback.
…
…
At this moment, outside Shengjing City, in the evening, the sky is filled with sunset, and the clouds in the western sky are like burning clouds, as bright as fire and as bright as brocade clouds.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing and Kang Hong, the governor of Hebei, had already received the military information sent by Xie Zaiyi's scouts.
"Marquis Xie will arrive soon. This way, our army will have sufficient strength, and we won't have to worry about the Jurchen soldiers coming out to rob the camp." Beijing Wang Shuirong looked at Kang Hong aside and said.
Because only the Jiangnan Navy and 30,000 Hebei frontier troops were besieging Shengjing City, during the period when King Beijing was in the water, he was often worried that the Jurchens would leave the city to rob the camp or rob the food road. Therefore, during this period, the two sides were in a state of confrontation.
Kang Hong, the admiral of Hebei Province, said: "Xie Hou has about 20,000 cavalry troops, but I don't know when Duke Wei will arrive with his army."
Wei Che was lost in thought, and then said: "According to the estimated distance, Duke Wei will arrive in these three to five days."
While the three of them were discussing, a guard suddenly came from outside to report, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, Admiral Kang, Xiehou's army has arrived thirty miles away from the camp."
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi led 20,000 cavalry troops and came to the front in a mighty manner.
When Dorgon fled, Xie Zaiyi led a large number of elite cavalry to rob and harass the Jurchen soldiers and horses near Jinzhou City, but did not always pay attention to the changes in the defense of Jinzhou City.
Besides, Dorgon fled overnight and there was no time.
King Beijing Shui Rong said: "General Kang and General Wei will go with me to welcome Marquis Zhongqin."
With that said, everyone left the military tent and headed outside.
