Chapter 56 Raid Battle

The person Chongzhen remembered was Du Xun. He shouted, "Where is Du Xun? Why didn't he persuade Zhang Biwu to send troops immediately to attack the Donglu?"

Wang Chengen replied: "Prince, Du Xun replied that he was urging Zhang Biwu to fight quickly! But Zhang Biwu said that he had a complete plan to defeat the enemy, and he just needed to supervise the army for a while! He would definitely comfort the king and father's arms!"

Chongzhen was not satisfied after hearing this because he knew that it was all excuses and excuses. Over the years, he had heard too many such statements! But there was no way to punish Zhang Biwu. Now Zhang Biwu is no longer the martial artist who can be arrested if he wants to... So Chongzhen was even more angry. He felt that there was an emperor who was as frustrated as he did!

Chongzhen said: "Immediately issue an order to severely blame Zhang Biwu, and ask him to lead troops to fight the Qing army immediately! There is also a secret order for Du Xun to make a secret plan, and if necessary, take Zhang Biwu's military power over, so that he can fight the Qing army and make great contributions!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he sighed in his heart. Although Du Xun was nominally known as a soldier, in fact he didn't know the soldier at all. Instead, he was greedy for life and feared death. If he really asked him to fight the Qing army on behalf of Zhang Biwu, he would definitely help Zhang Biwu to escape the fate of being appointed as the chief general fighting against the Qing army.

As for Hou Fangxia, he was famous in the army, and he was not good at succeeding and not defeating things. Let the soldiers listen to him? It’s impossible! Although the soldiers cared about Hou Xun’s feelings, they would not joke about their own family and surnames! Therefore, Du Xun and Hou Fangxia could not restrict Zhang Biwu.

Chongzhen just didn't think about his subordinates. He just knew how to urge the war and just played the sings of triumph early, but he didn't care where the soldiers came from or where the salary came from. How could the soldiers use their lives? If you ask someone to work, you have to pay money, right? Besides, you have to do such a brainless job, and you have to have how much money you have!

Although the truth is so, Emperor Chongzhen could not say it or listen to it. Wang Chengen could only shake his head and immediately do it according to Chongzhen's will.

Of course, it was not just Chongzhen's will. Princess Kunxing still missed Zhang Biwu very much, so she wanted to ask someone to give him a letter to Zhang Biwu. She also knew that Zhang Biwu did not fight with the Qing army, and at the same time she didn't care about anything and didn't want to pay attention to it. She just wanted Zhang Biwu to return to her side as soon as possible, that's all.

So Princess Kunxing found Wang Chengen and asked Wang Chengen to help him send her letter to Zhang Biwu no matter what.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen really couldn't refuse the princess' entrustedness. Finally, Wang Chengen sighed and agreed.

So Chongzhen's imperial edict and Princess Kunxing's letter were sent to Zhang Biwu. After listening to Chongzhen's imperial edict, Zhang Biwu did not obey what Chongzhen said and immediately went to a decisive battle with the Qing army. He knew that the Qing army was still very vigilant now. If the war started now, his troops would definitely be able to die!

Zhang Biwu now has heavy troops in his hands, and Chongzhen can't do anything. And as long as he wins a battle, all Chongzhen's anger will disappear, although his suspicion cannot be dispelled. Then again, it is not easy to dispel the suspicion of this suspicious emperor? It's better not to dispel and do what he wants! If it's not a loyal minister, it's not a loyal minister! It's really not worth serving Chongzhen!

What Zhang Biwu did not expect was a letter from Princess Kunxing. In the letter, Princess Kunxing asked Zhang Biwu to go back and accompany her as soon as possible! Even if she gave up the three armies, she would go back and accompany her.

She was so bored and very annoyed. She had so many things to say to Zhang Biwu. She also said that because Zhang Biwu had only been rescued several times with her. The most important thing is that she is a beautiful princess. Zhang Biwu must not refuse the request of the beautiful princess! Otherwise, she would never ignore Zhang Biwu! How honorable is Zhang Biwu to listen to her words, and he must always listen to the beautiful princess in the future!

Zhang Biwu sighed. This childish princess surnamed Ren really knows nothing! When he goes out, the general must forget his family and put the three armies first. Moreover, Zhang Biwu has made so many preparations to wait for this moment! He will teach the Qing army a lesson! His purpose is to achieve! You let Zhang Biwu leave now? How can this be done? In addition, you always listen to women? No! Zhang Biwu is not a wife who is strict! Not a wife slave!

Zhang Biwu looked at Princess Kunxing's letter and read it again and again. He was thinking about how to answer Princess Kunxing. He did not want to hurt Princess Kunxing's heart, and was also very grateful to Princess Kunxing for his help. He could not be ungrateful.

In the end, Zhang Biwu couldn't think of how to reply, so he simply stopped replying.

Zhang Biwu immediately summoned all the main generals, and he wanted to discuss with them how to defeat the Qing army.

Everyone was very happy. They originally thought they had fought with the Qing army when they were in Nangong, but now they are about to start a battle! In this battle, they are no longer fighting alone!

Hou Qi came to report: "Report! The soldiers of the Eight Towns are now gathered in Miyun, and we must stop the Qing army from escaping! The soldiers of the Eight Towns meet and join us!"

Lin Xiangfeng turned his gaze to Zhang Biwu and asked: "Do you really want to fight? Is it not good to fight the Qing army in the Miyun area? Why did you have to go to war in the Baoding area of ​​Hebei?"

Many generals followed and asked, "Yes! We had already advocated that we would fight to the death with the Qing army in Nangong, but we bluffed and went north all the way. At that time, we all wanted to die, and we would not take advantage of the death to fight to the death, but we would fight to the death at this time. Why?"

When someone asks, more people will naturally ask questions, and they all want to know the reason.

Zhang Biwu then wrote the plan he had agreed with Xiong Jianhao before, so he ordered the entire army to retreat. Now he wants to tell the truth of the matter.

"At the beginning, if we attacked the Qing army in Nangong, the Qing army in Shandong would come. The Qing army in Nangong would also come. At that time, we were in danger of attacking on both sides! Moreover, the Qing army was in full swing and could not fight hard, but could only rely on wisdom. In addition, although Abatai was irritable, he could still be serious about major issues, not make big mistakes, and keep making small mistakes. He must have been extremely cautious at the beginning."

"Besides, the main force of the Ming army led by Zhou Yanru is very afraid of the Qing army. They dare not fight against the Qing army in close combat. This is equivalent to putting us at the point of being besieged alone!"

"Faced with such a situation, it is not possible to compete with the Qing army! So we first avoided the Qing army, waited for a favorable fighter opportunity, and then competed with the Qing army. After avoiding the war, the spirit of the Qing army had declined, and we were determined to return to the north to enjoy the spoils they had robbed and wanted to return to our family. The fighting spirit was weak!"

Lin Xiangfeng understood, took Zhang Biwu's words and said, "The Tartars were determined to return to the north, and their fighting spirit was no longer as good as before! And when they left, we could raid to attack the Qing army! But why not wait until the Qing army was about to reach Miyun? Is that not good?"

Zhang Biwu then replied: "It's very simple. When the Qing army crossed the Lugou Bridge and marched north towards the Shunde Prefecture area, they had very little defense. If they could ambush here, they would suffer losses! Moreover, there were volunteer soldiers in Shunde Prefecture area. Every time the Qing army entered the country, they were afraid of the people of Shunde Prefecture, and their resistance was the strongest. Ambushing here was undoubtedly the best choice!"

"If the Qing army is let go and the Qing army is allowed to go to the Miyun area, they will certainly be vigilant because of the officers and soldiers of the eight towns of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone is afraid of the officers and soldiers of the eight towns."

"As long as the Qing army approaches Miyun, the way home will be paved, and the strong** of going home will definitely turn into a strong fighting spirit! The Qing army at that time was even more difficult to resist! One was a fierce beast who wanted to fight, and the other was a sheep who was afraid of fighting. When the war broke out, it would collapse at a touch. This would instead have a reaction force!"

"It would be better to suddenly attack when Julu took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness! Not to mention annihilation of the Qing army, at least they can beat them up! As long as they can win a victory, the Ming army stationed in Miyun can rise up and fight back, and also severely damage the Qing army! Don't let the Tartars underestimate us anymore!"

When they heard what Zhang Biwu said, they nodded clearly, thinking that Zhang Biwu’s analysis was reasonable.

Zhang Biwu knew that Lu Xiangsheng and Yao Dongzhao were also in the Shunde Prefecture area, and they had already trained five thousand righteous men. They selected strong men to train them. Because people suffered from the Qing army's invasion for a long time, they were very willing to join the righteous men and brave men, so that when the Qing army invaded again, they would take on the important task of defending their families and defending their country.

Not only that, Bai Guangen was defeated again and again. He was very scared. He wanted to save face and escape the punishment of the court. Now he had very few people and it was difficult to do anything. Zhang Biwu found him and told him that he would give him a chance to defeat the enemy.

Not only that, Zhang Biwu also wanted Zhou Yuji to lead his army to support him, thus severely destroying the Qing army.

As long as he gets two armies of Bai Guangen and Zhou Yuji, even if there are not many troops, only a few thousand people together, plus 5,000 brave men and the people who spontaneously come to boost their momentum, Zhang Biwu will have more than 20,000 troops.

Although the Qing army had 100,000 troops, they were ambushed after all and caught off guard. Then the Ming army could defeat them very well.

"The encirclement is a shortage!" Zhang Biwu knew this. Their few people could not encircle and annihilate the Qing army. After all, the Qing army was thirty miles in a row. How could your soldiers have surrounded thirty miles? And he was also afraid that if everyone in the Qing army fought to the death, they would be in danger! What they wanted was not to completely annihilate the Qing army, but to win a big victory, which was enough!
