If the Ming army had no more strength to face the powerful enemy of the Qing Dynasty before, with the arrival of the imperial edict and the boost of morale in the army, the three commanders saw hope.

In particular, they knew that behind Dorgon's army, there was an elite Yongwei Battalion that had been chasing. Although the number of Jianlu army increased, the population and materials they had taken over also increased. And there were more Yongwei Battalion that dared to fight, so the subsequent war could still be summarized.

After a military discussion, the generals retreated. The result of the discussion was to wait for the Yongwei Camp to meet up, and further inquire about the news about Jianlu.

Then, the three rank-level officials who commanded the troops moved to the back tent and prepared to inquire about the capital from the resting angels. After all, for civil servants, they still need to pay attention to the affairs of the officialdom. For example, if Xue Guoguan was promoted to the chief minister, what about Yang Ge's troops?

But who knew that when Qian Yuanwailang, who was resting, saw that the three of them had discussed military information, suddenly became serious and took out another imperial edict and said to them: "The emperor has a secret edict to the three, and asks the Minister of War to command the king Lu Xiangsheng, the three-sided governor Hong Chengchou, and the Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting to receive the edict!"

When the three of them heard this, they were stunned. Unexpectedly, there was a secret order. In response, the three of them, especially Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, first reacted, and guessed that it was the threat of siege before. They couldn't help but feel a little worried, and quickly answered the order, preparing to listen to what the emperor's secret order was.

As expected, this secret decree was caused by Emperor Chongzhen's intention to attack the city by the Tartars as threatened by the people.

"...I feel very sad when I hear this. When I use my sword and weapon, my people are like lambs to be slaughtered. How sad! The people in the world have been suffering for a long time, and my worries cannot sleep at night..."

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting couldn't help but feel secretly glad. Seeing the emperor's intention, fortunately they chose to withdraw their troops. Otherwise, they would have been labeled as the people who were plundered and put on their heads by those who were interested. With the emperor's intention, they would have their future completely ruined. However, before they could have had a time to be more grateful, they suddenly heard the order.

"...For this reason, we must have the heart of a bodhisattva, perform the act of angering Vajra, suppress all causes of turmoil, and give all the peace to the people of the world. Jianlu is cruel and the people are suffering. If they are threatened, they will threaten everything. How can we fight against Jianlu in the future? You don't need to worry. If you can destroy it and destroy it again, you will do it without worrying. Everything will be blocked by me. If I don't have this responsibility, I will be ashamed of the people of the world and the soldiers who are fighting to the death ahead! You are all my loyal ministers. I believe that you can make your choices and make your heart. If you have no other concerns..."

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting both had the scene of the emperor personally leaving the capital to inspect the Qin army. At this time, they realized that they could already feel that the emperor was responsible for the matter that day. Otherwise, would other emperors dare to leave the capital at such a time? It is estimated that most emperors would guard against foreign troops as if they were guarding against thieves.

At this moment, every sentence on the secret decree was clearly printed in my mind, and I felt that the emperor was teaching them in front of them. The king and father trusted themselves so much, and how did they treat the king and father? For a moment, both of them couldn't help but feel ashamed of their previous concerns!

"...There was Lingyan Pavilion in the previous dynasty, and I also had the Lingtian Pavilion in Zhongxing. I hope that you, my king and minister can be like the previous dynasty, and be famous in the future generations. I admire this!" Qian Yuanwailang finished reading this secret decree in one breath. Although it was not targeted at him, he could also feel a sense of passion in his heart at this time. How lucky is it to have such an emperor!

The three people who received the order did not expect that the emperor was going to imitate the Tang Dynasty and wanted to be a portrait of a hero. Although it was not founding the country, it was a revival, which was also of great significance! It would be a blessing in life to have such an opportunity!

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting had concerns before, but the reason was that they were worried about fame. It can be said that officials either seek wealth or fame, and they always had their own interests. Compared with other Ming ministers, these few people focused more on seeking fame. Now, Emperor Chongzhen gave them a very rare opportunity.

If the previous imperial edict was a great reward for those warriors and made them suddenly become full of fighting spirit, then this secret edict would undoubtedly have the same effect for these three officials of the border.

"I received the order to thank you, long live long live long!" When the three officials from the border replied, their tone revealed their firmness.

The image of Emperor Chongzhen is taller than ever in their hearts and makes people look up to it!

Afterwards, the three officials of the border no longer had any psychological burden and devoted themselves to the battle against the enemy in front of them.

At the same time, Dorgon's troops had already joined forces with Du Du and Yuetuo's troops. This matter, because the news needs time to pass on, has not been learned by the Ming army commander under Jinzhou city.

At this time, Du Du and Yuetuo were welcomed by Dorgon outside the city. After seeing the ceremony, Dorgon saw that it was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I heard that the Qin reinforcements suddenly arrived and our army lost more than 5,000 troops, which made me very worried. But now it seems that it is okay. What is the loss of population and materials?"

"Go back to the general!" Du Du immediately reported, "Popularity and materials are all within normal consumption. It was just that when the Ming army attacked the city, the Miao general killed more than 4,000 people."

Hearing this, Dorgon nodded and said with a little curiousness: "I heard that you took the people of Ming Dynasty as a threat, but the Qin soldiers really retreated?"

"Yes." Du Du explained in detail proudly, "I originally wanted to kill the Qing warriors who died in battle for me, and to disgust the Ming army. But unexpectedly, the surrendered Han dog Chen Weiquan suggested to me that the leader was the Ming civil servants who led the army to attack, and that Hong Chengchou cherished his reputation and could use this to threaten them, maybe they would retreat. Unexpectedly, I just tried it and they really retreated, haha..."

Hearing this, several Qing Dynasty leaders laughed at each other.

Haoge, who had just arrived, happened to hear Du Du's explanation and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "So, we can use this trick in the future when we face the Ming army. It will be much easier to fight, haha!"

"Don't forget that only the other party is the civil servant. This move will be successful in almost 100 years!" Yue Tuo heard it from the side and reminded with a smile.

When everyone heard this, they laughed again.

After a while, after laughing, Dorgon commented with a smile: "This is why the emperor of Ming Dynasty did not take responsibility, which would make his subordinates have such concerns! If it were the Emperor of Qing, all the subordinates dared to fight, then the war would be difficult!"

"Haha, that's right, my father is wise, that's comparable to that dog emperor in Ming Dynasty!" Haoge spoke with great pride when he heard this.

When Dorgon heard this, he glanced at him with his eyes squinted, and said in his heart: It’s a pity that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and a stupid pig like you will appear.

After retracting his mind, Dorgon's face turned right after joking, and said to Du Du and others: "Let's go to the city to rest. You should talk about the situation about the Qin army. You have to use a plan to transfer the cavalry and the infantry will be wiped out. This matter must be carefully considered."

Hearing this, Yue Tuogang's face was still smiling and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Since entering the pass, we have been smooth sailing. Everyone is fine and have made countless military achievements. But I have suffered such a big loss. I still don’t know how to explain to the emperor after looking back!

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the expression on this guy Haoge's face was a bit strange, as if he was gloating?

Although he was a little uncertain, Yue Tuo was still very uncomfortable. Now even a rough man like Haoge is ridiculous and sarcastic. He doesn’t know what others will think when he goes back. This time he is really embarrassing!

I felt a little depressed. After the group entered the city and sat down, I started discussing things.

First, Dorgon talked about his trip to Jinan. In addition to the old and weak who were abandoned on the road, he had a total of about 80,000 young and strong people, and his material wealth was more than expected. Speaking of this, Dorgon smiled and said, "It seems that we have never noticed before that the richest people in the Ming Dynasty were not others, but those royal vassal kings. The wealth of this vassal king's mansion was equal to an ordinary county town. If you enter the pass later, you must attack the city with vassal kings and gain the most!"

In the original history, after the Qing army entered the pass again, it turned out to go to the vassal kings.

It was in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen that Huang Taiji sent Abatai to lead his army into the pass, and the King of Lu Zhu Yishu was captured and committed suicide. The King of Leling, Zhu Hongzhi, Prince of Yangxin, Zhu Hongfu, Prince of Dongyuan, Prince of Anqiu, Prince of Ziyang and other kings, and the royal family in charge of the government were captured and beheaded. As for the accumulated family wealth, it was undoubtedly cheaper to the Qing Dynasty.

When he heard what he said, the Qing Dynasty leaders who did not go to Jinan were all surprised and excited.

Then, Dorgon looked at Du Du, Yue Tuo and the others and said to them: "I will tell you about the war on your side and the matters related to the Qin army. We must understand the combat power of this Qin army clearly."

Du Du and Yue Tuo dared not hide this, so they explained the previous war from beginning to end in detail. Several of them were veterans who were used to fighting wars and knew where they were focused, so they all said it in detail.

After they finished speaking, Dorgon had a comprehensive understanding of the Qin army. He had to admit in his heart that, in this way, this Qin army could indeed fight, which reminded him of the bloody battle of Hunhe that year...

He was thinking, and after seeing Yue Tuo hesitate for a moment, he spoke again: "Uncle Wang, the reason for his defeat this time was because the commander of the Ming army expected my eagerness to rescue Anping Beile. He would rather create a blocking situation and attract my cavalry to lead the cavalry to reinforce first, but was caused by Lu Xiangsheng's exhaustion of the troops from the beginning. I have had practical field battle experience with this Qin army, and I should have the clearest understanding of its strength."

"Well, you say it!" Dorgon nodded when he heard this, and asked Yue Tuo to tell him what he felt.

The other Qing Dynasty leaders also looked at Yue Tuo and waited for him to speak.

"If we only talk about the skills, will and strict orders of the Qin army, it should be similar to our Qing army. Otherwise, they would not have set up a blocking formation with just infantry troops, leading the cavalry to attack, but they persisted until the evening was approaching, with many casualties, and then they made a way out." Yue Tuo said slowly while recalling, "However, in terms of the battle, the Qin army should be short of food and grass, and the soldiers were hungry more often, and long-term battles were prone to fatigue. If the Ming army dared to grit their teeth and be firm in that blocking battle, the consequences would be that they would be completely disintegrated."

"This is one!" Yue Tuo continued, "Secondly, the Qin army's armour guards were all bad, and even the lieutenant generals did not have iron armor. When they were really close to each other, this weakness was even more obvious. Also, the quality of the Qin army's megaline guns was average, and some of the guns were either unable to fire or explode. This is one of the reasons why our army can get closer quickly."

After Yue Tuo finished speaking, Du Du also proved to him that the reason why the previous defensive battle was unfavorable was that the Ming cavalry acted like a madman and was completely different from the previous Ming army, so that the opponent could succeed. If it was really about combat power, it was not that exaggerated.

While listening, Dorgon corrected his impression of this Ming army.

After Du Du finished speaking, he looked at each other with Yue Tuo. Finally, Yue Tuo spoke and continued: "There is another thing, that is, after the war, according to the horse-striking reward, the Qin army had withdrawn from the city of Jinzhou to rest. The morale of the soldiers was not high, and they no longer had the courage of their first appearance."

The Ming army would send no reconnaissance to detect the movements of the Qing army at night. Similarly, the Qing army would also come to inquire about the movements of the Ming army. Therefore, the Qing army knew the recent situation of the Ming army.

As soon as Yue Tuo said this, he suddenly remembered and said to Dorgon: "By the way, the Shanxi merchants sent someone to inform the Qin soldiers that they had arrived to serve the king, but it was a little late. When they came, the war was over. However, in terms of the current situation of the Qin soldiers, the Shanxi merchants gave an opinion, which should be in line with the actual situation."

"Oh?" When Dorgon heard this, he was immediately curious and asked quickly: "Which Shanxi merchant has come? What did he say?"

"It's Wang Dengku!" Du Du replied this time, "He said why the Ming army was fearless before, it should be that the emperor had visited this army. But now, they have spent a lot of money and won such a big victory, which is not a good thing. The Ming court has no money and cannot give any rewards at all. Therefore, for this great victory, the court will probably say to the smallest that it will erase the merits of many people. This is also a forced and really has no money. In this way, it will definitely hit the morale of this Ming army. This is also the reason why the horses are promising to repay the low morale of the Ming army."

After hearing this, Dorgon nodded slightly. If he wanted to talk about his understanding of the Ming court, he would naturally not be familiar with these Shanxi merchants.
