Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"Returning to His Highness, the enemy's Yue Tuo Department plundered all the materials of the Twelve Cities: 70,000 stone of grain, 1,200 head of cattle, cloth, tea, wine, coarse salt, cooking utensils, clothing...... and so on, adding up to nine hundred carts. The

soldier held a stack of booklets in his hand and put them in front of Zhu Cihong, and then took out another booklet and read it.

"More than 30,000 people were arrested, including 80,000 camels, horses, mules, donkeys, and sheep.

"Two thousand two hundred and fifty taels of gold, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, four thousand four hundred and forty taels of pearls, fifty-two thousand two hundred and thirty-one pieces of silk of various colors, three thousand eight hundred and fourteen collars of satin and fur, five hundred skins of mink, fox, leopard and tiger, and one hundred and sixty pairs of whole horns and horns. "(The true number is halved)"

Your Highness. The

soldier finished reading it and handed it over.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, signaled the soldiers to retreat, and then picked up the booklet and opened it and read it, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, only 13,000 people, all the way to the top of my Gyeonggi City, burned and looted, there were so many Ming troops in the territory, and no one dared to go out of the city to stop it!"

Zhu Cihong suddenly looked at Gao Yi who was sitting on the side, and said: "The soldiers of the Beijing camp must be trained for

me!" "This group of brutes treats me as a lamb, and they run over to pick up wool when they are hungry, but on the contrary, this group of Ming troops is sheep, they can't resist, they can't be relied on at all

!" "Your Highness rest assured, your subordinates will definitely train an elite and sweep the world for Your Highness!"

When Gao Yi heard what the enemy had plundered, he was also on fire in his heart, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead the army and destroy the beasts like Jiannu.

"Okay, in the future, let's slaughter Jiannu together, slaughter the city and destroy the country, wouldn't

it be happy!" Zhu Cihong put down the booklet, his purpose is to work hard for him, never treat him badly, go against him, never be soft, if you don't fight, if you want to fight, you will never turn over!"

Gao Yi also smiled.

"The minister Daxing commanded the soldiers and horses, the minister Daxing knew the state, and the minister Daxing knocked on the prince with the knowledge. Suddenly

there were several voices outside the tent.

"Gao Yi.

Zhu Cihong said.

"The subordinates are here.

Gao Yi immediately stood up.

"I don't see them in this palace, you go out to announce the decree, just say that Daxing has meritorious service in defending the city, point 100,000 taels of silver, let a team of people send it into Daxing City, count how many soldiers have died in this battle to defend the city, and those who have families will be given ten taels of settlement fees, and the rest of the living soldiers will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the rest will be rewarded to officials at all levels.

Zhu Cihong rubbed his eyebrows, he was really a little tired, he didn't want to see these three people, otherwise it would be another big official talk, a scene.

"The subordinates receive the order.

When Gao Yi heard this, he was about to turn around and walk out, but just as he was about to leave the account, he was stopped by Zhu Cihong.

"By the way, call Yang Zaixing, Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Kuan and others in the evening, and then you send 5,000 people to the Agricultural Affairs Department to station, transfer Gao Shun's trap camp over, send Yue Tuo to the Imperial Prison of the Criminal Department in the capital, and finally send scouts out to inquire about the route of Dolgon's army.

After Zhu Cihong finished ordering, he lay down on the bed on the side, Yue Tuo He didn't know how to kill this person yet, it was still the same, he wanted to exchange hostages with Huang Taiji, and exchange Kong Youde, who surrendered to Jiannu and took away firearms soldiers and craftsmen, as well as Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming.

Regardless of whether Huang Taiji will change it or not, it is no problem to try.

......

Late in the evening.

Zhu Cihong sat on the main seat, looking at the military report, his brows were tightly locked, his face was full of sadness, Yang Zaixing, Gao Shun, Gao Yi, Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Kuan and others were already sitting on both sides, and Zhang Huaibin and others were also standing on both sides.

"Dolgon's army has crossed Texas, entered Shandong, and attacked Lingxian, and the number is estimated to be about 37,000.

Zhu Cihong looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This palace means that if you want to completely annihilate the 50,000 Qing troops this time, what are your strategies?" "

Your Highness, the enemy army has penetrated deep into the territory of my Ming Dynasty, in fact, as long as you transfer troops and horses from all walks of life to encircle it, it can still be done."

Lu Xiangsheng was the first to stand up and said: "It's just that before, our Ming army didn't have a main force to stand up at all, so all the soldiers and horses didn't dare to intercept the Qing army alone, plus the combat strength of the defenders in each city is indeed inferior to the Qing army, so even if the number is about the same, or even more than the enemy army, I'm afraid it won't be able to defeat the Qing army."

"However, now that the army of the Beijing camp has come forward, and this great victory is exciting, and His Royal Highness has commanded the world, it is feasible.

After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, Zhu Cihong nodded, and still had some approval in his heart, now there is no tactics at all, the Qing army of 30,000 troops, where it passes, except for the army here, there is basically no Ming army to resist.

If the enemy wants to break through, the Beijing camp will start a formation battle to break up the Qing army's formation, and then encircle and annihilate.

"Yes, we have so many fierce generals, I have a lot of confidence in you.

Zhu Cihong smiled and pointed at Gao Shun and Yang Zaixing.

"Your Highness Xie trusts.

When Gao Shun and Yang Zaixing heard this, they immediately stood up and thanked them.

"Then take a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will head to Shandong.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Zu Kuan again, and said, "Zu Kuan." "

The minister is here.

Zu Kuan immediately stood up, and suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart.

"I heard that in your army, where you passed, it was no different from the Qing army, rape and plunder, and burned down people's houses, didn't you?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Zu Kuan with a smile, this person he knew that he had ability, but he was too arrogant, and it was possible to press it, but what he said about pressing people was not to say verbally, and to use this useless method, but to really press it.

"This ......"

Zu Kuan heard this, his face immediately turned pale, his forehead was sweating, and he glanced at Lu Xiangsheng without a trace, thinking that he had complained to His Royal Highness the Prince?"

As

soon as Zhu Cihong saw Zu Kuan's appearance, he knew that there was indeed something wrong, this thing had followed Lu Xiangsheng in the northwest to suppress thieves before, but he didn't follow the rules very well.

"That's true.

Lu Xiangsheng stood up, this sentence directly startled Zu Kuan, but then he said: "But after the minister's repeated admonitions, he didn't commit it again."

He just told the truth, and he didn't take the opportunity to give Zu Kuan eye medicine, but when Zu Kuan heard the latter words, he threw a grateful look at Lu Xiangsheng.

"Your Highness, the minister is at fault and is willing to be punished.

Zu Kuan also knelt down directly without hesitation, admitting his mistake and receiving the punishment, if he still opened his mouth to quibble, according to the style of His Royal Highness the Prince, then he would die, and he would be punished in time, and he might be treated leniently.

"In that case.

Zhu Cihong groaned, thought for a while, and said: "If you are wrong, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright, do you agree?"

Zu Kuan listened to the tone of His Royal Highness the Prince, obviously he had no intention of cutting off his head, and he was suddenly relieved in his heart.

"Gao Yi, tell him what is the duty of the country's soldiers.

Zhu Cihong said.

"Defend the family and defend the country!"

Gao Yi said.

"And you are like a gang of bandits, still bandits who eat the food of the state.

Zhu Cihong looked at Zu Kuan indifferently, and said with a smile: "This is a serious crime, it stands to reason that this palace should cut off your head first, and then cut off all the senior generals under your army."

"Then, sit together, uproot the ancestral family, including Wu Sangui, and wipe out the nine clans.

"After the province, they hold a grudge and surrender and retaliate, what do you think?"

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he stared at Zu Kuan with a faint smile, he was not afraid that Zu Kuan would go to Liaodong to make a small report in the future, because Zu Kuan couldn't leave here, he wanted to reorganize the more than 10,000 Guan Ning troops into the Beijing camp, first of all, he would cut down all the senior generals brought from Liaodong, and then lock Zu Kuan in the Beijing camp.

This is much easier than recruiting new soldiers, scattering this group of soldiers in the Beijing camp, giving them training for a period of time, ensuring that all bad Xi are changed, plus being led by the generals of the Beijing camp, there is no backbone, and over time, it will not be the Guanning army.

Therefore, the senior generals of the Guanning Army must all be killed, and it is a waste of food to keep them anyway, and they must be powerful in Liaodong.

This is the first step, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, there are too many things to clean up, and it can't be changed without changing all the new people, so Zhu Cihong is very willing to give the newcomers a chance.

When Zu Kuan has a chance to return to the Guanning defense line in the future, it will be the time to follow the army of the Beijing camp to kill Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou!
