"Kowtow three times."
Following Xia Ziwen's command, Li Heng, An Yongde, Zhao Lie and others finished their worship.
In front of them were hundreds of clay jars and pots, all of which were cremated soldiers.
For the ashes, for these pottery jars, the Polu army spent money to collect all the pottery jars and pots from the merchants in Zhuozhou City, and even bought the remaining ones from the people of Zhuozhou.
When Li Heng, An Yongde and others thought that the worship was over, the Xuanfu officer Xia Ziwen shouted and started singing.
The nearly 3,000 soldiers of the Polu army present, together with Zhao Lie, Huang Han, Li Lu and other generals, sang "Jing Zhong" in unison.
Serve the country.
When the song was about how many loyal brothers and sisters were buried in a foreign land, many of the Polu Army's elders choked with sobs, and Zhao Lie also had tears in his eyes.
Over the past few years, more than a thousand Polu Army officers and soldiers were stained with blood on the battlefield and buried in a foreign land, which made people heartbroken. .
Li Heng twirled his beard and sighed.
Everyone present was a loyal minister and righteous man of the Ming Dynasty.
Listening to the military song of the Polu Army, it was filled with words of loyalty to the emperor and protecting the country.
Why should there be any worries when such soldiers enter the city.
An Yongde lamented that Zhao Lie was really an expert in running the army.
After such heavy losses in the battle, he rescued the wounded, buried the dead, paid tribute to the whole army, and gave the soldiers such honor and mourning.
The soldiers all returned to their hearts and dared not die in service.
He is very capable at a young age, and you can see his prestige by looking at the soldiers around him.
The entire Polu army marched into the city, and Li Heng ordered his men to clear out several official warehouses that could accommodate the entire Polu army.
After several battles and marches, most of the Polu army was exhausted and could take a rest.
Zhao Lie also presented the heads, flags, and armor of hundreds of slaves headed by Niulu Ezhen Tuge as a thank you gift, so that the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Li Heng and An Yongde were extremely satisfied with the military discipline implemented by the Polu Army after they entered the city.
The Polu Army never left the barracks without incident, and they always conducted fair business when going out to purchase.
They had an excellent reputation.
Even a few days later, traders spontaneously gathered near the Polu Army's barracks. , hoping to trade with the military masters in Shandong, which shows that the Polu Army has gained the hearts of the people.
Of course, there were also noises in the harmony between the two sides.
After inspecting Zhuozhou's defense, Zhao Lie proposed that Zhuozhou's city defense needed to be strengthened.
Zhuozhou's current reserves of rolling logs, stones, bows, crossbows, swords and guns are far from enough.
If the Jiannu army comes to attack the city, they may not be able to hold on for a few days.
This is a big blow to An Yongde's self-confidence that he has enough to defend.
It's quite shameless.
"Lord Zhao, you've said it before.
I have an army of 1,500 men and 1,000 young men in Zhuozhou City, as well as Denglai troops to assist in the battle.
I'm afraid Jiannu will return in vain."
An Yongde said with a smile, thinking where is Zhao Lie at this time?
It has the power of a battle formation duel.
Worrying too much.
"Mr.
An doesn't know something.
When Jiannu attacks our Ming city, he always captures the surrounding Ming people and drives them to attack the city.
In this way, he fills up the moat and consumes the rolling wood and arrow branches in the city.
When the city is completely exhausted, Jiannu's soldiers will use their full strength.
Attack the city in one fell swoop.
This method has been tried and tested.
Zhuozhou is an important town in the south of the capital and is densely populated.
The officials are afraid that they will drive tens of thousands of Ming people to attack the city. road.

"Tens of thousands of people" An Yongde looked at Zhao Lie in surprise, is it possible?
Zhao Lie nodded affirmatively.
The tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty were just like ants in the eyes of the slaves.
Now the slaves invaded the Ming Dynasty just to plunder.
Their love for the people and winning their hearts have nothing to do with them.
They lost tens of thousands in order to capture Zhuozhou.
There are tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty ants, Jiannu can't even blink an eye.
An Yongde thought about it for a while, and if this is really the case, the rolling logs and stones in the city are really not enough to see.
"This.
Zhao Qianhu, there are no stone mountains around Zhuozhou, and there is a lack of stones.
What can we do now."
An Yongde also had a headache.
It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and Zhuozhou is indeed short of stone and wood.
"Master An, as a capital city, Zhuozhou doesn't even have gunpowder, right?"
Zhao Lie grinned and saw that at this critical moment, he didn't even have enough supplies to defend the city.
"Well.
Zhuozhou has stored more than 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder for the garrison.
They are all prepared for the garrison's muskets and artillery.
It's just that the good and bad vary, and I don't know whether it is usable."
An Yongde hesitated.
"As long as it's gunpowder."
Zhao Lie immediately ordered the gunners to check the gunpowder.
With these ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder, Zhao Lie said he could hold on to Zhuozhou.
After Zhang Keda rested in Gu'an for a day and was about to set off, he received the news from Ye Bushou sent by Zhao Lie.
The forward Zhao Lie's troops defeated the Jiannu Division under Zhuozhou City and beheaded more than a thousand real slaves.
The six sons of the wild boar Pinur Hachi, Aisin Gioro Tabai, and several Niu Lu Ezhen were killed in the formation, and soldiers and horses were captured without calculation.
Zhang Keda's first reaction was whether Zhao Lie falsely reported his military exploits.
Is it possible?
The Jiannu cavalry won the field battle and killed Nurhaci's son in battle.
No matter how you look at it, it is a joke.
Although all of Zhao Lie's troops were armored and well-equipped, after all, they were mainly based on infantry, and they might not be able to withstand the impact of the Jiannu Brigade's cavalry.
However, considering Zhao Lie's past performance, Zhang Keda was doubtful.
He summoned Ye Bushou from Zhao Lie's army and inquired about the process of the battle in detail.
At this time, he believed 90% of the truth.
As Zhao Lie said, the Jiannu army was afraid of coming to retaliate as soon as possible, and he also believed it.
Damn it, if Nurhachi's son was really beheaded, Jiannu would definitely take revenge.
This is just like today's brothers being killed.
No matter whether the emperor and his brothers get along with each other, for the sake of the face of the Tian family, they have to kill him ruthlessly.
What's more, whenever Jiannu has been so humiliated, he will definitely come to take revenge.
Denglai Town was marching into the army at this time.
If he encountered the slave-building army on the way to Zhuozhou, he believed that Denglai Town would only be defeated.
He knew very well what the soldiers under his command looked like.
The best strategy now was to stick to the security, but , this did not delay him in sending his trusted servants to Zhuozhou to investigate the actual military achievements.
Zhang Keda also felt itchy in his heart.
This feat was too great.

Although he did not personally participate in the battle, Zhao Lie was his subordinate after all.
It would be appropriate for him to have a share of Zhao Lie's military exploits.
Nanhaizi, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is now the residence of Huang Taiji, the Khan of the Jin Dynasty.
Since the attempted attack on Beijing in late November, Huang Taiji, who has always been worried about not capturing the capital of the Ming Dynasty, has not stayed away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Months of marching and fighting left tens of thousands of slave soldiers exhausted and they continued to rest and recuperate.
Nowadays, the Jurchen army is divided into several groups.
Daishan and Amin led thousands of soldiers and horses to the east of Tongzhou to contain the reinforcements from Jizhen, Shanxi and Liaozhen.
Tabai led thousands of soldiers to defend Liangxiang from the Ming army coming for reinforcements from the south. , because all the elite border troops of Ming Dynasty's nine sides are in the north.
Therefore, there are not many Jurchen soldiers under Tabai's command, most of them are Mongolian Horqin tribes, while Huang Taiji continues to covet the main force together with Mang Gurtai, Azig, Dorgon, Abatai, and Jierhalang.
Capital of the Ming Dynasty.
After more than ten days of rest, beginning on December 10, Huang Taiji dispatched Mang Gurtai, Azige, Dorgon and other commanders to continue attacking the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
They fought with Mangui and Yougui at Andingmen, Deshengmen and other places.
Shilu and other Ming reinforcements fought fiercely.
At noon on December 12th, Huang Taiji was listening to Li Yongfang's report in the big tent.
After investigation, the news that Yuan Chenghuan was arrested and imprisoned by the Ming Emperor two days ago was true.
On the seventh day of December, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to discuss salary.
He introduced Yuan Chonghuan into the palace and immediately imprisoned him.
He would wait for Jiannu to withdraw his troops before he could be punished.
Huang Taiji squinted his eyes slightly and calmed down his excitement after sitting at the desk.
Yuan Chenghuan, the Yuan Manzi, had resisted Dai Jin for several years in western Liaoning and was the most powerful enemy of Dai Jin.
Although during this period, he lost Juehua Island and killed Mao Wenlong. , many errors and omissions were made.
However, this man dared to confront Dai Jin and was never afraid.
He kept Ning Jin's management in a stormy state, which made Huang Taiji suffer a lot at the beginning of his ascension to the throne.
He could not defeat Ning Jin for a long time, which caused his prestige among the Jurchens to be greatly reduced.
If the person who knows Yuan Chenghuan best in the world is his opponent Huang Taiji, today his powerful enemy has gone and Huang Taiji can get rid of the big stone in his heart.
This can be regarded as the biggest gain of entering the customs.
The gold, silver, grain, and grain gained are not as much as those of Yuan Chenghuan.
Resignation comes at a critical time.
After Li Yongfang finished reporting, he took a peek at Huang Taiji.
Walking next to Huang Taiji, he could see Huang Taiji's joy, "King Khan, this time it was reported that Yuan Chenghuan was imprisoned, most of the reinforcements in Liao Town were defeated, and Zu Dashou led thousands of The cavalry fled back to Liao Town, and the reinforcements from Liao Town were in name only."
Li Yongfang said with a flattering smile, "I am here to congratulate King Khan for this battle against this powerful enemy."
After hearing the news, Huang Taiji finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He stood up quickly and said, "Li Yongfang, this is true."
Huang Taiji's tall body and sharp eyes gave Li Yongfang endless pressure, making Li Yongfang breathless, "King Khan Mingjian, I sent many people to investigate several times, and every word is true, and I will never deceive King Khan. " Li Yongfang was trembling all over.
As a Han minister, he had always been cautious and walked on thin ice.
He did not have the foresight and talent of Fan Wencheng and Gao Hongzhong.
He only had the title of Fushun Prince Consort, so Li Yongfang clung to the thick leg of the Khan King and did his best to run errands.
Yongfang's only hope.
Huang Taiji forgave Li Yongfang and did not dare to deceive him.
Huang Taiji walked out of the table and paced on the ground.
The reason why he hovered in the capital for a long time was that he always had an ambition in his heart.
He knew that the Ming Dynasty was vast and wealthy.
The Ming Dynasty was now being conquered.
Liaodong was devastated by their consecutive defeats, but once Daming was allowed to relax, Daikin would not seek any favors.
If we can attack the capital this time and capture Chongzhen, then the feudal princes from all over the Ming Dynasty will definitely fight for the throne, and the Ming Dynasty will inevitably fall into civil strife.

Dajin can only sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, reap the benefits of the fishermen, and organize their troops on the side Prepare for war and wait for the opportunity.
Sooner or later, you will be able to conquer the Central Plains and seize the Han people's territory.
This is something that even his father Khan could not do, and it will be realized in the hands of his father, Huang Taiji.
Therefore, after the last attack failed, he led his army to rest in Nanhaizi, waiting to attack the Ming capital again, because he did not give up, this was a shortcut, a shortcut to the death of the Ming Dynasty, and he still wanted to give it a try.
The next hour, he received an urgent report from Mang Gurtai.
They defeated Mangui and other Ming reinforcements and arrived at the gate of the capital.
Huang Taiji knew that it was time for him to go to the battlefield to attack the capital in person.
Now Yuan Chenghuan, who was good at defending the city, was imprisoned, Liao Town fled, and the Ming soldiers were panicked.
This was the best time to capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
The opportunity must not be missed.
Next, success or failure depended on this, so he immediately ordered the entire army to go out early tomorrow morning to attack the Ming capital
