Putting on his bearskin coat, Qin Mingtao walked out of the house unhappily.
"It's snowing, what is Kong Youde doing?"
Zhao De didn't seem to be too afraid of the cold. He was only wearing a light military uniform. He heard the voice and replied, "I can't ask. He went around the bush and didn't answer me." Zhao De paused and then said, "Everywhere's night is not closed." 'They didn't even send an alarm, and they didn't hear of any military action. But Kong Youde was in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to do."
Qin Mingtao looked at the snow covering the eaves everywhere in the yard, shook his head, and went back home to put on his clothes.
At this time, Li Ying was shyly hiding in bed, her face flushed as she imagined how Dong Wang would enjoy her body. A pair of catkins gently caressed her body, making her look pink and rosy, and her eyes were as silky as silk. Although she was hiding under the quilt and holding her breath, her chest was still rising and falling violently uncontrollably.
But after waiting for a long time, she saw that Qin Mingtao was about to get dressed and go out, and she couldn't help but stretch out her face in disappointment. Seeing that the man had already put on his clothes, Li > couldn't help but pout his red lips in complaint, and asked resentfully, "Your Highness, Your Highness. Your Highness wants to go out?"
Seeing Li's coquettish and shy face, Qin Mingtao couldn't bear to come back. Qin Mingtao leaned into her ear and whispered, "Princess, can you still fight? I will take care of you when I come back."
After hearing this, Li Haoqiang's temper turned upside down again, and he forgot his shyness for a moment. She hugged Qin Mingtao's arm seductively, and with a pair of electrifying eyes, she looked directly at Qin Mingtao, and said reluctantly, "I am I am so happy with His Highness, how can I be tired? Geez, I'm afraid. Your Highness can¡¯t stand it.¡±
Qin Mingtao smiled, touched the little woman's body, and finally calmed her down before walking out. Zhao De had been waiting at the door for a long time, so he led Qin Mingtao towards Kong Youde. The shrubs and flowers in the yard and the grass were covered with snow. Only the road was cleared by the soldiers to prevent the snow from getting wet to King Dong's deerskin boots.
After walking into the courtyard, Qin Mingtao took a breath and said with a smile, "Such beautiful snow."
Zhao De also looked around and said. "It's really beautiful. This is the first time I've seen a big snowman piled on the snow."
Qin Mingtao said "Oh?" Niubi asked coaxingly. "? When I was your age, I was already playing with ice sculptures."
The two father and son walked out of it and passed through the outermost hall, chatting and laughing. Then he saw Kong Youde waiting respectfully in the outermost courtyard. This Liaodong general wears a bronze pair of mandarin duck helmets. The burly man wore a fine steel mountain armor. Although standing on the grass in the yard, he looked humble. But his body still exudes waves of majesty.
It seems that he doesn¡¯t want to be seen by others. Kong Youde didn't bring any personal soldiers with him. Before Qin Mingtao called him Kong Youde, he had already turned over and half-knelt on the ground. "The general has met the King of the East! The general came in a hurry this time and did not report it first. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Qin Mingtao smiled and took a step forward to help the Ming Dynasty general. Qin Mingtao looked at this humble man. He nodded for his cleverness.
Nowadays, Kong Youde is the deputy general of Qiangang in the Ming Dynasty.
When Gaishui Camp withdrew from Qiangang, Dalinghe Fort was still not captured by the Hou Jin Army. Huang Taiji continued to surround Dalinghe Fort until the end of September. The ancestral army in the city did not have a grain of food, and the Ming army in the city ate people to stay alive. I don't know how, but at the end of September, after Zu Dashou killed the city's deputy general He Kegang, he led 300 soldiers and fled to Jinzhou City amidst the sound of gunfire.
Once Zu Dashou escaped, how could there be any fighting spirit in the city? More than a dozen generals from the ancestral family surrendered to Hou Jin, and Dalinghe Fort was finally taken down by Huang Taiji. Although Huang Taiji destroyed the Daling River Fort, the damage in this battle was considerable, and it could not be considered as a blessing at the Daling River.
On the other hand, all the thousands of military honors from Gaishui Camp were given to Kong Youde. Kong Youde first reported to Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Dengzhou, and then reported to the governor Sun Chengzong, which immediately caused a sensation in the whole court.
What does it mean to lose a fortress? The Ming army in the castle has lost a lot. How can there be no year when a few of them are not lost? But these thousands of heads Since Sarhu, when has there ever been a record of taking thousands of Tatar heads in one battle?
Although they lost "30,000 troops" from Dalinghe, they killed "more than 10,000" Tatars and obtained "4,000" heads. The Ming Dynasty had a population of over 100 million, so losing so few troops was nothing. On the other hand, thousands of Jurchens died, which was indeed a heavy loss. Although the Daling River Fort was destroyed, Kong Youde's troops planted nails in the "Qiangang" south of the Daling River.
After calculating this, the Ming army really made a big profit. The Battle of Daling River was described by the system as a great victory that had not been seen in more than ten years.
The Tatars, who once reached the capital city and embarrassed Emperor Chongzhen, were defeated.
The Tatars, who once surrounded the city of Beijing, but few in the world dared to fight, were defeated. The news spread to the capital, and the people in the city were so intoxicated that they spontaneously gathered outside the Forbidden City and shouted "Long live".; When Kong Youde heard this, his face flushed red, he clenched his teeth and kowtowed to the ground, lying on the ground and said, "The Guan Ning army was jealous of my military achievements and said bad things about me everywhere this time. Even Governor Sun also The book said, 'There is a love affair, but it needs to be clearly investigated.' With the words of the supervisor, the salary I wanted was suppressed."
The newly requested military pay was agreed to be transferred to Shuiying, so Kong Youde's application was just a pass. In Qin Mingtao's plan, Kong Youde was the "military pay receiver" he cultivated in the Ming Dynasty system, constantly providing cheap money to the Gaishui camp. When he heard that he couldn't get the money, Qin Mingtao's face sank.
Kong Youde saw this, his voice couldn't help but tremble, and he whispered,
"Superintendent Sun also contacted various Mongolian ministries this month to prohibit them from trading with me and cut off my source of horses. Nazu Dashou did an even better job. The Wu family gave him two thousand soldiers and horses, and he dispersed them all to capture the refugees. , saying that I want to train new soldiers, so the refugees I got in the past half month are not as good as before."
Guan Ningjun was embarrassed, and Sun Chengzong's face was not bright. Although he had a good relationship with Sun Yuanhua and his gang, the generals of Guan Ningjun were very dissatisfied this time and had made contributions to "the remnant of the Dongjiang River" Kong Youde, so they naturally wanted to punish him. The people under his command were angry, and Sun Chengzong was not easy to suppress. In this matter, the superiors also killed Kong Youde and his troops.
By interrupting Mongolia's horse trade and robbing Nanhai Kingdom of people, these actions of Guan Ning's army greatly reduced the effectiveness of Qin Mingtao's trip to Liaodong. Qin Mingtao's face was as solid as iron, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
"What a good Guan Ningjun, are you looking down on me for changing the water camp?"
