Daming pirates

After Yu Xiaotian asked Chongzhen to sit down, he turned around and walked to the front of the high platform, flicked the red cloak on his shoulders, saluted the soldiers and generals kneeling below with a standard military salute, and shouted loudly: "No salute!"

Upon hearing the order, tens of thousands of Yu family soldiers immediately roared in unison, stood up in unison, and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" After saying that, the school grounds instantly became quiet.

Yu Xiaotian glanced at the soldiers and horses in front of the stage with satisfaction, nodded and shouted loudly: "Everyone! Today is an important day for me! Yu Mou specially invited the current emperor to wait for you.

Farewell!

Once upon a time, there was such a group of thugs outside the Pass in the north, who invaded the entire Liaodong and enslaved us Han people in Liaodong for decades!

They are fierce and cruel, killing our Han people, repeatedly violating the border, and doing all kinds of evil. They have caused trouble for decades, but no one can cure it. But now they will pay the price for it. Yu will personally take command this time and lead you and others.

Go to Liaodong and wipe it completely from this world! Recover our homeland!

Let us take back the glory that we have lost for decades, and let these slaves tremble under our feet forever from now on! We are lucky that you can accompany Yu Mou to participate in this expedition!

We will tell the world that from now on, no one in this world can ever ride on us again, and the humiliation of the past will be completely washed away by us!

…”

Yu Xiaotian spoke in a very loud voice for about ten minutes before finally ending his speech. Although the speech was not very long, everyone below could not help but feel excited.

Under the leadership of the generals, mountains and tsunamis roared once again. All the soldiers pulled out their weapons, raised their heads high and roared wildly:

"Swear to kill the Jiannu slaves and regain Liaodong..."

This roar was like a thunder on the ground, rolling into the distance and echoing between heaven and earth for a long time.

Meng Fei, who then went on an expedition as the deputy commander, rushed out from the ranks of soldiers under the high platform on horseback, ran to the high platform, drew his sword, and performed a sword-wielding salute to Yu Xiaotian and Chongzhen on the high platform.

He shouted: "Please let the commander-in-chief and the emperor inspect the troops and horses, swear an oath and set off!"

Yu Xiaotian returned the gift and shouted loudly: "Yes!"

After saying this, the soldiers below immediately began to file into the battalion as a unit. Each battalion formed a square formation of fifty people horizontally and twenty-five people vertically. They marched energetically and uniformly.

Walking in front of the high platform with rumbling steps.

Chongzhen felt sad, but his mood was also complicated at the same time. He sat silently on the dragon chair and watched the Yu Jiajun review ceremony in front of him. In the eyes of these soldiers, he, the Ming Emperor, did not exist at all. Everything was about Yu Xiaotianma.

He was so cautious that he didn't pay attention to him at all. Although he came to watch the ceremony today in the name of the current saint, he was always a supporting role, which filled his heart with a feeling of humiliation and frustration.

He knew that from now on, the Zhu family dynasty of the Ming Dynasty has completely become a thing of the past. From now on, the world has completely changed its surname to Yu. Today, he is just here to hold a funeral for the Ming Dynasty as the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although these

They are still carrying the title of an official of the Ming Dynasty, but they are swearing allegiance to Yu Xiaotian in public.

The tall Yu Xiaotian in front of him has blocked all his glory, so that the world now only knows one Yu Xiaotian and has forgotten him as the former Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen stared at the phalanxes in front of him expressionlessly, and slowly passed under the high platform. When each phalanx passed by, without exception, they showed Yu Xiaotian the highest courtesy of their soldiers.

, but few people looked at him as the emperor.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaotian had not completely forgotten his existence. After the review began, he invited Chongzhen to come forward to watch the ceremony. Chongzhen had no choice but to go to the front desk and stand side by side with Yu Xiaotian until he saw all the soldiers and horses lining up.

field, then return to their formation positions.

Yu Xiaotian pretended to ask Chongzhen to say a few words to the soldiers, but Chongzhen shook his head and rejected Yu Xiaotian's invitation. He just said: "I wish Yu Aiqing and all the soldiers can come out of confinement today."

After that, the victory will soon be achieved. I hope you, my beloved, will win and return to the court soon. I will be waiting for you in the capital when the time comes! It won’t be too late to tell you then!”

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about establishing a slave. I am fully confident that I will defeat him in one battle and completely eliminate any future troubles! Your Majesty, please wait patiently for the good news of our minister!"

Then everything will be done!"

Yu Xiaotian's last words made outsiders a little confused, and they didn't know what he meant. However, Chongzhen knew the meaning of his words very well, nodded and said: "I will do what I said, and I will do it when the time comes."

I hope your beloved can fulfill your promise!"

Yu Xiaotian nodded and said: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with! How can you, my king and my ministers joke? Please take care, Your Majesty..."

Chongzhen stood on the high platform, watching this group of powerful troops slowly drive out of the campus under the leadership of Yu Xiaotian, and then turned north and headed towards Shanhaiguan. He didn't speak for a long time.

When this group of people gradually disappeared at the end of the road, he suddenly staggered and nearly fell to the ground. His whole strength seemed to have been drained away.

The eunuch Wang Chengen who followed him had tears in his eyes. He stepped forward to support Chongzhen and said softly: "Your Majesty, take care! It's time for us to return to the capital!"

Chongzhen nodded and said: "Yes! It's time for us to go back!"

At the same time, at the docks of Dengzhou Shuicheng and Qingdao, Yu Jiajun from several other brigades also began to step onto the trestle under the leadership of generals, and began to board warships one after another.

Then the sails were raised and the anchor was raised. Yang Fan sailed away from the dock, heading towards the Liaodong Peninsula.

Ever since he learned the news that the army entering the Pass was intercepted by Yu Jiajun inside the Pass and was eventually almost wiped out, the entire Hou Jin Jiannu was plunged into panic and chaos.

All the slave-building officials and subordinates never imagined that in the 11th year of Chongzhen's reign, they sent their troops to enter the pass, but in the end they got such a result.

They gained almost no benefits, but left tens of thousands of elite slaves inside the pass. Along with a large number of Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers who followed them into the pass, with this disastrous defeat, only a few of them were able to escape back outside the pass.

.

In the end, Du Du, the deputy commander who led the troops into the pass, only managed to escape from the pass with less than 3,000 defeated soldiers. The rest of the slave-building army was almost abandoned inside the pass.

If the Ming Dynasty had not suddenly attacked the Yu Jiajun after they defeated the Jiannu army and sent troops to sneak attack on the Yu Jiajun, I am afraid that even Du Du and others would not have been able to sneak back outside the pass this time. It is precisely because of this.

Du Ducai took advantage of the chaos to gather some remaining defeated generals, and finally bypassed the capital of the Ming Dynasty and broke out from the pass. It finally took him more than two months to circle back to Liaodong.

Huang Taiji, who was originally waiting for Dorgon and others to return from customs with a large amount of goods, heard the news and almost lost his breath and was angered to death. Fortunately, the attendants on the left and right quickly beat his chest and rubbed his back to calm him down.

come over.

After Huang Taiji came to his senses, he burst into tears and gnashed his teeth and vowed to avenge his brother Dorgon. However, everyone knew that after this battle, it would be difficult for them to recover after this battle.

After this battle of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, except for the Lianghuang Banner and the Zhenglan Banner, the three upper three banners directly under Huang Taiji, the remaining five banners all sent out their best troops and entered the pass with the army, but they suffered a disaster.

Including the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who entered the customs, they were all lost. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Hou Jin. This is in line with the saying, if you steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.

, Jian Nu lost all his money this time and even pawned his underwear.

But this news made Huang Taiji not believe it, because he knew the capabilities of the Ming army very well. This time Dorgon and Yue Tuo led troops into the pass, and the soldiers and horses they brought were all the elites of the Eight Banners, and they fought

They are extremely powerful, and there are more than 30,000 Mongolian Eight Banners assisting in the battle. With the combat power of the Ming army, it is almost impossible to eat them.

Who did this? Huang Taiji immediately asked. As a result, the defeated soldiers who fled back outside the pass cried and told Huang Taiji that this time it was not the North who led the troops in Tianjin Guards and beat them to the point of abandoning their armor.

The Ming army was an official army from Fujian in the south, and was called the Yu Jiajun.

The defeated soldiers described in detail how the Yu family's army completely defeated them this time, how they kept Dorgon in the pass, and also stated to Huang Taiji the rumored relationship between Yu Xiaotian and the court.

Huang Taiji was a very smart guy, and some people even called him a geek in history. He was by no means a fool, and he immediately figured out the matter roughly.

So he immediately became furious, thinking that Dorgon had done something extremely stupid this time. If it had been him, he would have encountered a problem when Du Du led the troops to Tianjin Guard, and was hurt by Yu Jiajun.

After being beaten, he would immediately give up the captured people, livestock and bulky goods, immediately abandon the Tianjin Guard route with light cavalry to exit the pass, choose to escape far to the west of the capital, and then lead his troops to attack outside the pass.

Although this trip was equivalent to a wasted trip to the customs, at least the soldiers and horses were saved, and Qingshan was left with no worries about running out of firewood. They would always have the opportunity to start over again in the future.

Moreover, Huang Taiji could judge that Yu Xiaotian's trip north this time was probably not about drinking. It was not entirely to deal with their slave-building army. In fact, he had a huge ambition hidden deeper, that is, he was afraid that he would end up with this.

The purpose was actually to seek power and usurp the throne for the Ming Dynasty.

If Dorgon had chosen to give up so many captured people, livestock and heavy vehicles, and choose to bypass the capital of the Ming Dynasty to exit the customs, then given the situation of the Yu Jiajun at the time, it would be extremely difficult to pursue them and block them in the customs, and then

There will definitely be a big fight with the Ming army when they come down, and no one can stop Dorgon's troops.
