1276 The Slow Court

The first thing to get the news was the Ming Dynasty. Because they were always sending people to pay attention to this war. These people, led by Emperor Chongzhen, were extremely confused. They hoped that Liu Pei could defeat the Qing army, and at the same time they hoped that the Qing army would weaken Liu Pei's power as much as possible. So they themselves didn't know what they were looking forward to? What they most hoped was that Liu Pei and the Qing army would be both defeated.

But when the news came and the Qing army was wiped out, the entire Ming court was shocked!

After Emperor Chongzhen sat in the imperial case, the battle report he was holding was almost crushed by him! He was now extremely surprised and frightened! It took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence from his throat and said, "Is the words written on it true?"

After Emperor Chongren said this, everyone in the hall, including him, looked at the officer kneeling on the ground, watching him sweating profusely!

He immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the news is true! The invading Qing army has been wiped out!"

Since the war between Liu Pei and the Qing army ended, many people have actually escaped. In addition to the hundreds that Liu Pei knew, there were more than 2,000 cavalry and a small group of Qing army robbed outside. Seeing that something was wrong, they fled directly outside the pass.

These fish that escaped the net looked like two or three thousand people. However, they were all scattered and fled.

When these people fled back, they were actually mistakenly thought by the local Ming army to be the cavalry that the Qing army sent messages, so they did not dare to stop them, and allowed them to ride their horses outside the city.

However, these Qing soldiers were deserters and had no supply on them. When they were hungry, they would naturally rob the people! So theirs went to the village to rob food.

Naturally, the people in the village did not dare to stop them. They often either scattered or let them rob. Fortunately, these deserters knew that they were weak, so they did not dare to go too far. Most of them just robbed food and continued to flee.

However, a small number of bold people found that the villagers were honest and bullied the queen, so they robbed the villagers after robbing the food. However, the villagers had many property, but they were just some copper coins.

But when they ran away one after another, these people gradually merged. These two or three thousand people actually divided into more than a dozen large and small teams.

Once this person is too many, they are brave! They plunder the villages along the way and look for food. When they find that the Ming army does not dare to go out of the city to encircle and suppress, they act more recklessly and even do the slaughter of villages and villages!

But even so, the Ming army still defended the city and did not dare to go out! All the defeated Qing soldiers were allowed to rage outside the city and headed north step by step. Even if their number was hundreds of times that of these Qing soldiers!

Until one day, after a group of defeated soldiers harmed a village, a defeated soldier got drunk the next day and was forgotten by everyone and stayed in the village. Then he was tied up by the villagers and sent it to the government.

When the defeated soldier was sent here, the government was frightened, afraid of attracting revenge from the Qing army! After the officials pretended to be brave enough to interrogate, the government learned from his mouth that the Qing army had been wiped out in Shandong!

This shocked the local officials very much! After repeated interrogation and confirming that the defeated soldier did not lie, the local officials organized a group of troops and ambushed a small group of defeated soldiers behind them!

The soldiers originally thought that this battle would not be won, but they did not expect that the Qing soldiers would be frightened like headless flies when they were blown up. They only knew how to escape, but they didn't know how to fight at all! As a result, they killed more than a dozen people, caught four people, and were fled again. More than twenty people!

After getting this result, the local officials were already dancing happily! This is a great victory that has not been seen in several years!

After interrogating the prisoners overnight, their confessions finally matched the confessions in front! After confirming the news, the local government hurriedly escorted their military achievements and the prisoners to the capital. Only then did the capital get the news that the Qing army was defeated and even the chief general did not escape!

The court was excited by the stimulation of this news. At a speed that had never been seen before, the court mobilized the horses and sentry provocates everywhere, and ordered the troops everywhere to rob and kill the defeated soldiers, which resulted in a lot of results!

In general, more than 100,000 people intercepted 3,000 people, and more than half of them were run away! And because of the desperate efforts of the Qing army, the Ming army lost soldiers.

There are many results without a fight! But this also surprised the court!

As more and more news gathered in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen finally received the report in front of him. Only then did Emperor Chongzhen learn about the whole story, but at this time, it was too late no matter what he wanted to do!

After hearing the officer's long answer, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and told him to retreat. Then he threw the memorial book that had been wrinkled in the imperial case and said, "Dear friends, let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked around the ministers, but these ministers looked at their noses and their heads and their heads were silent.

Emperor Chongzhen glared at the ministers for a long time and saw that no one was talking, he said in a deep voice: "Don't you quote scriptures and guide the world on weekdays? Why are you all mute now? Well? You talk!"

After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, everyone knew that his heart was rising at this time, so naturally he refused to get into trouble, and no one spoke. The entire hall became quieter!

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen slapped the imperial case and said loudly: "Everyone is talking!"

The answer to him was that many officials fell to the ground in one fell swoop and recited together: "I am guilty!"

Emperor Chongzhen saw everyone kneeling on the ground but was furious! He shouted: "One of them said you are guilty, you are indeed guilty! You can't even come out if you have any ideas, what's the point of waiting!"

The ministers were even silent. Half a day later, a low-level official stood up and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this time the Shandong victory, we will always reward the officials in Shandong so that they can serve the court..."

As soon as he said this, Emperor Chongzhen threw the book out and shouted loudly: "Fork out! Fork out!"

After Emperor Chongzhen finished yelling, several Jinyiwei rushed over and dragged the official out. The official was dismissed and did not say a word when he was dragged out.
