Chapter 140: I know your grievances
The emperor won a great victory and returned triumphantly. The people were naturally joking and boiling. After passing the warm pavilion and heading north, there was another movement in the deep palace of red walls.
Zhu Youxiao Ping retired from the palace and got up to cover the door. The candlelight in the palace was lingering and the honey fragrance lingered. As the door closed, the room seemed even more misty and smoke.
Zhu Youxiao walked forward two steps and stood in front of the bed. The candles around him were dim, making his face look mottled and dark.
After a long time, I sat on the side and said earnestly:
"Although I leave Beijing, I know everything about the matter in the capital."
Suddenly, Zhang Yan turned around, looked straight at the emperor with her shiny eyes, and asked softly: "What do you know?"
"I know someone spread rumors that you are not Zhang Guoji's daughter. Last month you were assassinated and were frightened and went to find Concubine Yu to cry. I know that too."
"You know all the grievances I have suffered, why don't you talk to me?"
Zhang Yan snorted coldly and turned her back again, making her look a little arrogant.
After a long time, seeing that the emperor did not say anything, Zhang Yan quietly turned around like a little woman, and found that the man was staring at him. He trembled all over and hurriedly hid back.
She couldn't put on her airs, and after a moment she took the initiative to turn around, but she began to worry about Zhu Youxiao and said:
"The emperor, Concubine Yu told me that there are not only rumors about me in the harem recently, but also a lot of people who say you."
"When you are not here, Wei Zhongxian acted recklessly, and he was a civil servant in the court and arrested people everywhere. Do you not care about these?"
"Some people say that he intends to rebel. He is his followers inside and outside the palace. The emperor should be careful."
This is how the little woman is, she gets angry and disappears quickly.
"I know all this in my mind."
Zhu Youxiao grabbed her, hated the Donglin Party in his heart, and wanted to kill them all, and said in a moment:
"The civil officials in the court have taught you the books of sages on weekdays. They have never used this brainwashing method to me."
"brainwashing?"
Zhang Yan opened her eyes wide, her face full of question marks, which was very cute.
Zhu Youxiao said the wrong thing for a moment and did not explain too much.
After a while, he sighed again, held up her face with several scars, looked at her carefully and said pity:
"Silly girl..."
Zhang Yan doesn't understand what's going on and has no way to deal with it.
Zhu Youxiao looked at her calmly and said in an unspoken tone:
"Stop making a fuck for others. If anyone wants to 'advise' me, let them say it themselves. Tomorrow I will ask people to burn all the so-called sage books in and outside the palace."
"In the future, if I don't read these books, don't read them."
......
Pi Dao, looking at the corpses all over the ground, Mao Wenlong frowned.
"The slave soldiers attacked for many days and finally retreated." At this time, Mao Chenglu walked from the side and all the Dongjiang soldiers behind him were hung with lottery.
"They will suffer another disaster when they retreat!"
Mao Wenlong was not at all grateful. This time, it was thanks to the emperor's triumphant victory in time. It would be better to delay it for a few more months. Whether Pidao can be defended is still a matter of different reasons.
Since May this year, Zhu Youxiao's imperial commander left the capital in person, it was not much at first. Over time, the idle words inside and outside the palace have not stopped.
Not only that, the Later Jin Dynasty took advantage of this "opportunity" and once again came out to attack Mao Wenlong.
Although Amin failed in the first battle, the Later Jin army attacked, forcing Mao Wenlong to give up Yizhou and Dingzhou one after another.
This time, the slave soldiers did not stay much, but just destroyed the city and plundered the land.
The local people were unwilling to leave their hometowns and cried everywhere, while Jiannu often killed them and forced them to Liaodong. There is no need to mention this tragic scene.
The Liaodong region has always been full of war clouds and has not stopped for a moment. Mao Wenlong’s ties with North Korea were cut off again just two months after recovery.
Fortunately, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, made the military preparations of the two tired prefectures improve greatly. The military rations sent from Penglai and other places every half a month also greatly alleviated the Dongjiang Army's urgent needs.
Nurhaci planned to force Mao Wenlong back to the island completely, and divided his troops with Ajige and Amin into three groups, and ordered other generals to attack Xuanchuan.
While Xuanchuan fell, Amin was also besieging Tieshan.
It was the base camp of the Dongjiang Army, and it was a military garrison that had been secretly managed for several years. This time, it was far beyond Mao Wenlong's expectations.
Nurhaci divided his troops out in four places, separating the two parts of Tieshan and Pi Island from each other, making it impossible for them to help each other.
Hong Taiji received a secret report from a spy and concluded that Mao Wenlong was very likely to be in Tieshan, so he offered advice to his father Nurhaci, who had someone wear Korean military clothing and pretend to transport supplies and raid Tieshan.
In fact, Mao Wenlong was really visiting his family in Tieshan a few days ago.
When Hong Taiji personally led the slave soldiers to raid Tieshan, he only led Mao Chenglu and a few others out of the island and escaped by luck.
But Mao Youjun, the generals and schoolmen of the Iron Mountain Capital, were not so lucky. More than a thousand Dongjiang troops fought bloody battles with slave soldiers for several days. Later Jin surrendered several times, but no one was willing to surrender.
In order to avoid insults, Mao Youjun, when the slave soldiers attacked the island and had all ammunition and rescued, committed suicide by dying, and died heroically. All the remaining troops died in battle.
After the defenders were killed by the Later Jin army, Hong Taiji searched the entire island for three days, but still failed to find Mao Wenlong's traces. In a rage, he slaughtered all the families of Dongjiang Army and Liao people on the island.
The Tieshan fell and the Dongjiang army was defeated on its entire line, unable to resist the great offensive of the Later Jin Dynasty. Bumao Wenlong had to shrink his defense line and lead his troops back to Pi Island.
Just at this moment, news came that the emperor personally fought for triumphantly, and the morale of the Dongjiang army was greatly boosted.
A few days later, another inquiry reported that the governor Xiong Tingbi and the governor Hong Chengchou were constantly summoning Liaodong generals to advance to the tent to discuss matters and actively prepare for a counterattack.
Nurhaci was deeply afraid of Xiong Tingbi and Hong Chengchou, afraid that the front line would be empty, so he hurriedly led his troops to retreat with Hong Taiji, Ajige and others, leaving only Amin to stay on the North Korean border.
Mao Wenlong realized that the time for counterattack had arrived, so he used the old "Aid Korea in Wanli Year" as a guide, calling Amin a disaster to the court, and submitted a memorial to the Ministry of War to directly attack the slave's nest.
The Ministry of War’s reply had not arrived yet, but Mao Wenlong was not idle either. As soon as the Later Jin army retreated, he led his troops to counterattack.
Amin, who stayed here, naturally knew that the attack on Pi Island was greatly damaged, so he camped in the island and planned to siege it.
When he heard the spy report that Mao Wenlong led his troops out of the island to attack, he was arrogant and laughed:
"The thieves in Dongjiang drive sheep and attack tigers, and they are not afraid of it."
A few days later, Mao Wenlong personally led the Dongjiang army to attack Amin's camp, and defeated Amin's troops without any rest for several days of life.
Amin was beaten and fled to the ground, fled out of the Pi Island area. Without receiving further orders from Nurhaci, he turned to the south to North Korea.
North Korea's military preparations are even worse than those in the Central Plains Vatican.
Amin and his unit drove straight in and fought to the bottom of Pyongyang. The Pyongyang defenders opened the city and surrendered. An Anzhou reinforcements heard Pyongyang fall on the way to come, but they collapsed without fighting.
The King of Korea, Gwanghae-jun Lee Hui and his ministers fled south and moved to Jianghua area. They decided to temporarily avoid the sharpness of slave soldiers. They asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, the sect leader.
The news that Mao Wenlong asked for aid to Korea and Li Hui asked the Ming Dynasty to help North Korea fight Amin reached the capital in two days.
For a moment, the court and the country suddenly became hustle and bustle.
