The capital of the Ming Dynasty was still full of war, but Zhao Lie couldn't wait any longer and spent more than two months doing nothing.
During this period, hundreds of injured soldiers of the Polu Army had recovered and were only training in Zhuozhou.
Zhao Lie didn't want to go to the capital, otherwise he would be slapped on the head by the ministers of the DPRK and sent to the eastern front.
Now the Ming Dynasty has transferred reinforcements from all over the country to the four eastern cities to hunt for Amin.
At this time, the fierce battle is in full swing.
If the Polu army Going to Beijing is also a fate of being cannon fodder.
The Polu army was already exhausted after these fierce battles.
Zhao Lie now had no fighting spirit and just wanted to return to the army to rest.
He thought he had done his best in this battle and had no regrets.
At the beginning of April of the third year of Chongzhen, he bid farewell to Li Heng and An Yongde who had been trying to stay, and Zhao Lie led the remaining three thousand soldiers of the Polu Army to return.
On both sides of the official road along the way, people of the Ming Dynasty have come out to do spring plowing.
After all, the Jiannu have been surrounded in the east of Ji Town.
There are no traces of Jiannu in the southern part of Gyeonggi.
The people who survived several months of suffering have come out to plow the fields.
The difficult days have to go on, which gives Jingnan some life after being lonely all winter.
Of course, some fields will be abandoned this year because their owners are not here.
Maybe they escaped from the slaves and did not return home.
Maybe they died on the way to escape.
Maybe they were kidnapped by the slaves.
Only after many years will we know.
As for what they left behind There will be a lot of competition for the fields below, and of course they will all fall into the hands of the gentry, and other ordinary people will not even think about it.
Seeing the Polu troops marching on the official road, most of the people dispersed like birds and beasts.
Over the past few months, the reinforcements from various places have caused misfortune to the people.
The reinforcements from various places who were short of food and pay caused losses no less than those of the Jiannu.
Maybe Only the losses in Dingkou were small, and all the other money, food and livestock were also plundered.
After this war, the evil reputation of the Ming army spread throughout the capital, and even the emperor knew the faces of his soldiers.
Zhao Lie helplessly saw the people of the Ming Dynasty retreating quickly, as if they were encountering a savage beast, and smiled bitterly.
The people in the country regarded the soldiers as bandits.
There is no such thing as sharing the same hatred with the enemy.
Not a day later, the Polu army passed through Gu'an, returned to Tianjin Wei, and arrived at the port.
Here Zhao Lie was surprised to find that Zhao Haiming, Lord Zhao, led the Weihai Fleet to station in the outer sea.
Zhao Lie ordered Huang Han, Li Lu and others to lead the troops to board the ship here.
He, surrounded by more than ten guards such as Yu Dabao and Zhao Da, boarded a sand ship and headed for the Fushan.
In the past few years, the Fukuyama has only undergone simple renovations without major repairs, and the hull is somewhat old.
The paint on the hull is peeling off, and it is no longer as majestic as it once was.
Zhao Haiming stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the sand ship a hundred steps away.
He faintly saw Zhao Lie surrounded by people on the deck, and he felt excited.
"Congratulations, sir.
The young master has defeated Jiannu in the capital and is famous all over the world.
You have a successor."
Wang Zhe, an aide on the side, said with a smile.
"Alas, Mr.
Wang is overly praised.
Lie'er is too sharp this time.
I'm afraid it's a disaster rather than a blessing."

Zhao Haiming shook his head.
He smiled bitterly.
Zhao Lie had already sent someone to report the battle to him one by one, and detailed the merits of each operation.
There were nearly a thousand heads of slaves attached to Zhao Lie's name, and hundreds of heads of northern captives.
Especially the one who killed Nurhaci's son in formation was an outstanding achievement.
The credit was great, but it was too sudden.
There has never been such a great victory since the war between Ming and Jin, so how can you, a small family of a thousand, accomplish such extraordinary feats?
You have two or three thousand servants in full armor at home, even if you accomplish great feats.
The censors Qingliu and the jealous military ministers will continue to impeach, and the emperor will be left with a thorn in his heart, and there will be constant trouble in the future.
"Adults, don't worry too much.
Today is different from the past."
Wang Zhe said very cryptically.
"I hope it is as Mr.
Wang said."
Zhao Haiming sighed.
Of course Zhao Haiming knew what Wang Zhe said.
Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be plagued by internal and external troubles, and its control over military generals in various places has become somewhat out of control, and even somewhat forbearing.
From Mao Wenlong to Zu Dashou, who led his troops back to Liaodong a few days ago, they all look like warlords.
But now the imperial court can only tolerate it, and even rushes to help Zu Dashou.
The imperial court sent Sun Chengzong, the imperial master, out of seclusion to admonish, which was condescending.
The Ming court and the emperor had never been so aggrieved in front of military commanders since the Ming Dynasty.
Recalling that Taizu killed Lan Yu and punished the meritorious officials, even Qi Jiguang, known as the Ming Dynasty Martial Saint, was jealous of the emperor and civil servants and resigned from his post, and died in depression.
Nowadays, the imperial court is giving in step by step, which is a huge difference.
What Zhao Haiming is worried about is not the present.
In any case, as the Zhao family's meritorious service to King Qin, the emperor can only reward them for their loyalty.
However, raising servants and being strong in battle will make the emperor suspicious, and he may have more tricks in the future.
Of course, the Zhao family has its own escape route overseas, and Zhao Haiming feels a lot more at ease.
Zhao Lie boarded the deck of the Fuhai and knelt down in front of Zhao Haiming, "My son Zhao Lie has entered the capital to serve as King Qin.
Now he has lived up to the divine grace.
He killed the general, captured the flag, and returned victorious, and bowed to his father."
Yu Dabao, Zhao Da and others kowtowed together.
"My son has personally experienced battles, fought bloody battles for the country, and is honored as a father.
He is truly the tiger general of our Ming Dynasty and the pillar of the country.
Get up."
With a smile on his face, Zhao Haiming stepped forward to help Zhao Lie up and take a closer look.
Everyone else also stood up one after another.
"I've met Mr.
Wang."
Zhao Lie bowed his hands and saluted.
"Young master, you don't need to be polite."
Wang Zhe returned the courtesy respectfully.
Today is different from the past.
The naughty boy back then has now accomplished the feat of conquering the country and defeating the slaves.
"I've met the second brother."
Zhao Feng stepped forward to meet Zhao Lie with a respectful attitude.

Back then, the second brother stood alone at a young age and created a big situation overseas.
Now he can actually defeat the slaves in a field battle and kill them in formation.
The enemy chieftain made his third brother admire him very much.
"Third brother has grown taller again."
Zhao Lie took a closer look at Zhao Feng and saw that this younger brother was now just one punch shorter than him.
He had a thick build and a dark complexion after walking on the sea all year round.
He was no longer as youthful as he used to be.
Several people entered the cabin.
"Father is here to meet the Lord of the town."
Zhao Lie asked.
"First, Governor Wang ordered my father to escort the baggage to supply the soldiers of Denglai Town.
Secondly, it was also to support General Zhang, and some sick and weak soldiers had to return to Denglai."
Zhao Haiming replied.
What the navy of the Ming Dynasty did was such a tedious and sometimes dangerous job.
It was not easy to perform, and if you were not careful, your life would be in danger.
It was hopeless to show your merits, and you would be criticized if you failed.
The generals of the Ming Dynasty were originally lower than civil servants.
Wait, the navy is even more unbearable.
"Lie'er, this time you return to Shidao to cultivate yourself.
Yali is pregnant and expecting to give birth.
Please stay with him for a while.
At this time, our Zhao family must be cautious."
Zhao Hai said clearly.
Zhao Lie nodded in agreement.
He knew what his father meant.
Now that the Zhao family was so popular, it was too much to go overboard.
It's better to restrain yourself and just wait for the court's will.
Zhao Feng begged Zhao Lie to let him go to the Galen battleship to have a look.
He was very covetous of the Xiyi battleship, so of course Zhao Lie agreed.
In the middle of Haishi, in the Qianqing Palace of the Ming Dynasty Imperial City.
Emperor Chongzhen was reviewing the memorial, and Wang Chengen was waiting on him.
Now that the main force of the slave-building forces has left the border, only two Beil Amin are left to guard Qian'an and other four cities in the east.
Now a hundred thousand troops are besieging and attacking, and it is only a matter of time before they can be recaptured.
Although the situation in Gyeonggi Province is slightly stable, the Ming Dynasty is like a big ship leaking everywhere, with constant troubles in various provinces and governments.
In recent days, the cabinet has received a lot of bad news about the Guyuan military turmoil, the civil turmoil in Fujian, the merger of Shanshan and Shaanxi bandits, and the rebellion of Liu Xingzhi in Dongjiang.
Emperor Chongzhen was in a hurry for a while.
Most of them were asking for troops and wages, but as for money, the Ministry of Household Affairs could only demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall, and put the immediate future first.
Today, Emperor Chongzhen was presented with another report from Denglai Governor Wang Tingshi about the growing rebellion in Dongjiang and Liu Xingzhi's collusion with Jiannu.
Seeing this annoying news, Chongzhen couldn't bear it anymore.
He put his hand on his forehead and was extremely tired.
A whole day of grading made this twenty-year-old young man suffer from physical problems.
"Long Live has reviewed the memorials for the whole day today.
Please take care of the body of the dragon and rest first."
Wang Chengen persuaded.
"My dear friend.

The memorials sent from the cabinet in the past few days are of great importance and cannot be ignored.
How dare I be lazy?"
Thinking of the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen sighed.
"My lord, tomorrow we will inform the cabinet ministers Chengge Lao, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, and the Ministry of War Liang Chengdong and others to discuss the matter of Denglai at the Qianqing Palace."
Chongzhen was deeply aware of the thorny issue of Denglai.
It is necessary to consult with all the senior and important ministers of the cabinet.
"According to the order."
Chongzhen picked up the next memorial, which was from Denglai Commander Zhang Keda.
Chongzhen felt relieved, and he admired Zhang Keda very much.
This man dared to do his job and was considered a capable minister.
He was on duty in the capital at this time.
There had never been any big disasters.
He must have heard the bad news too much.
Much, I'm really a little scared.
Emperor Chongzhen picked up Zhang Keda's memorial and looked at it carefully.
In the memorial, Zhang Keda first asked for a battle.
He said that reinforcements from all walks of life were fighting fiercely on the east road.
Thousands of elite soldiers from the Denglai Army were willing to share the emperor's worries and invited themselves to help in the battle.
Emperor Chongzhen naturally could not agree.
The court was frightened by Jiannu's appearance and appearance.
Jiannu's cavalry raided the vicinity of the capital several times, burned canal boats and ferries, and robbed troops transporting baggage.
The key was that when Jiannu invaded, he placed Liaodong and Baoding Ignoring the reinforcements intercepted by Tongzhou, Jizhen and other places, a large group of cavalry bypassed Tongzhou and drove directly to the capital.
Chongzhen still remembers the doomsday scene in the capital that was chaotic and panicked.
Denglai Town was left behind to prevent this worst-case scenario from happening again.
Although Amin commanded less than 10,000 slaves, his troops were all cavalry, so he could still raid the capital.
Although it was not enough to capture the capital, it still shocked the capital three times a day.
Still more than enough.
Although the Ming Dynasty didn't have much face left, it still couldn't let the slaves be so rampant.
The Denglai Army was the only elite in the capital that could fight in the field.
Other reinforcements had rushed to the east, so the Denglai Army could only stay in the capital.
Chongzhen continued to look down, and Zhang Keda then recommended Zhao Lie, the hero of the army, as the commander of the Jinghai Guards in Denglai Town.
He said that Zhao Lie did not want to stay away from his hometown of Denglai, but only wanted to rectify the garrison.
Share worries for the country.
Chongzhen's heart was moved.
In fact, the merits of Denglai Town had been discussed several times, but they were still arguing over the issue of Zhao Lie.
Some ministers believed that they should be heavily rewarded, and promoted them to the rank of general, in order to show that the court would not hesitate to reward them for killing enemies for the country.
Others criticized him for maintaining thousands of servants and being ambitious even though he had set up a special attack.
He must not be allowed to take charge of the military to prevent him from taking advantage of the situation and becoming bigger.
The cabinet finally agreed to promote Zhao Lie to Denglai to guard the post of general, but Chongzhen left Cheng Jiming's news undisclosed, indicating his displeasure.
A few days ago, the cabinet convened and ordered Zhao Lie to serve as a guerrilla in Denglai Town and to be in charge of the soldiers of the Wendeng Camp.
In fact, he had captured the heads of nearly a thousand real slaves and the Dajin royal family.
With his military exploits, being promoted to a guerrilla general and in charge of a thousand-man military camp was already a small thing.
Waiting for the hero.
However, the emperor's dissatisfaction with Zhao Lie forced the cabinet to reduce the reward one after another.
Who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen still stayed in the army because it was clear that he did not want Zhao Lie to be in charge of the military.

This time, Zhang Keda's excerpts were transferred to the palace, indicating that this was a test by the cabinet.
Could it be that the emperor did not want this young man who had raised thousands of servants but had accomplished extraordinary achievements to control the Ming Dynasty's soldiers.
Chongzhen was finally satisfied and wrote on Zhang Keda's book.
That's right.
He could be promoted to a third-grade military general, but due to his misdeeds of raising a large number of private soldiers, he must not be allowed to get involved in the war.
At the same time, Wang Chengen It will be forwarded to the cabinet tomorrow.
However, the emperor did not give up his vigilance against the self-respecting generals.
He ordered Luo Yangxing, commander of the Jinyi Guards, to meet with his Majesty tomorrow. s: Looking at the 200 yuan subscription last month, to be honest, I really don’t want to write anymore in the middle of the night, but since the introduction has already said that the book is finished, it is the finished book.
