Time flies to mid-August.

Changping Fucheng.

Azig was sitting in the side room of the government office with a proud look on his face, while Abatai was sitting on his side with excitement on his face.

Azig and Abatai could indeed be proud. They entered the customs through Xifengkou and Dushikou at the end of June. In less than two months, the Eight Banners Army led by the two men swept through the Ming Dynasty's Gyeonggi area, engaging in fifty large and small battles.

All six battles were victorious. The Ming army was simply vulnerable to the Eight Banners Army. More importantly, Azig and Abatai conquered twelve cities in Gyeonggi, killed countless Ming officials, and looted countless

The Qing people and livestock gained a lot of money and food.

Azig actually wanted to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If Huang Taiji hadn't repeatedly emphasized that the main purpose was to weaken the strength of the Ming court and not to attack the city by force, Azig might actually have attacked the capital of the Ming Dynasty directly. You know, if he could

Azig's achievements in conquering the capital of the Ming Dynasty, capturing Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty alive, and even destroying the Ming Dynasty were unparalleled.

Of course, this is just Azige's fantasy. The capital city of the Ming Dynasty is strong, and if the capital city of the Ming Dynasty is really attacked, Ming troops from all over the country will definitely rush to help. If it really gets to that point, Azige's 100,000 Eight Banners Army

, it is also possible to fall into heavy siege and suffer heavy losses.

In any case, in less than two months, they won all fifty-six battles, and the Ming army did not dare to fight head-on. This is considered a rare achievement for Azigh.

"Brother Seven, we have been fighting in the pass for almost two months. We have all arrived in the Gyeonggi area. Look at the weather, it is about to get cold. Should we go back?"

Abate cupped his fists at Azig.

Although Abatai is older than Azig and is Azig's half-brother, Azig is the king of Wuying County and Abatai is just Rao Yubeile. There is a big gap in identity.

, In addition, this time when entering the battle, Azig is the coach and Abate is the deputy coach. Everything is based on Azig's decision.

"Everything is left to the commander-in-chief. I feel that if we continue to fight in the Gyeonggi area, we are unlikely to encounter many Ming troops. More than ten days have passed, and the Ming troops have no intention of leaving the city to fight. The intelligence report we received yesterday clearly shows that

Almost all the troops are concentrated in the capital and will not go out to fight, so I think it is best to go back."

"Hahaha..."

Azig raised his head and laughed, showing his contempt for everything.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. If the emperor gave me more troops, I would definitely capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, capture Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty alive, completely destroy the Ming Dynasty, and let the Qing Dynasty take control of the Central Plains..."

What Azig said was a bit loud. Abatai, who was holding his hand sideways, lowered his head and did not answer. He could not answer either.

You must know that the emperor has been on conquests over the years, entering Mongolia several times, conquering all the Mongolian tribes, and then entering the pass several times and defeating the Ming army. The most famous one is the Battle of Daling River City, which almost wiped out all the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong border.

The Ming Dynasty's most courageous Liaodong frontier army could only stick to the city, without the strength and courage to fight outside the city.

The one who is truly qualified to say this is the emperor, not Azig.

Although Azig fought bravely, he had a bad temper, no brains, and lacked strategic vision. Otherwise, he would not have been named a county king instead of a prince.

"Brother Seven, the property seized this time is quite rich. I think you and I will each take 20% of it, and the remaining 60% will be handed over to the emperor for disposal..."

Abata's body trembled and he looked up at Azig.

"Commander, I think we should make a decision after returning to Shengjing."

According to the emperor's request, during this battle, Azig and Abatai can get 10% of all the property seized, and the remaining 90% must be handed over to the emperor. Of course, Azig and Abatai can also get the emperor's money.

The reward will not be less than about 10% of all the property. Calculated in this way, Azig and Abatai can get about 30% of the property.

Azig asked for 40% of the property. If you include the property rewarded by the emperor, Azig and Abatai could get almost 60% of the property. This was too much and would definitely cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Abatai was not willing to let his military exploits go to waste because of financial problems.

Azig looked at Abatai with a faint smile on his face.

"Why, Brother Seven, you don't dare to take so much property. Are you worried that someone will talk behind your back? Don't worry, if anyone dares to talk behind your back, I will skin him..."

Abatai waved his hands repeatedly.

"Commander, I'm not worried about anyone talking behind my back, but when you and I go out to conquer, the emperor has an order. If we disobey the emperor's order, we may be punished by the emperor, and we may even lose our military exploits. Compared with a little money,

, I think military exploits are still more important..."

Abate has made his words very clear.

Azige was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.

"Okay, okay, Brother Qi has thought carefully. For a few belongings, he was punished by the emperor and lost his military exploits. It's really not worth it. Forget it, all the belongings will be transported back to Shengjing, and then

Make a decision..."

Having said this, Azig stood up, looked in the direction of the Ming capital in the south, and moved his knuckles loudly.

"Brother Qi, you said that before we leave, we should lead troops to the direction of the Ming Dynasty capital to scare the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The scouts have already reported it. The troops from all over the country rushing to aid the Ming Dynasty capital are all huddled in the capital and do not dare to leave the city.

If we go to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, these reinforcements may go out to fight. If we can completely defeat them, wouldn't it weaken the power of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent..."

Abata looked at Azig, his face turned pale.

After thinking for a moment, Abate spoke.

"Commander, I think this is feasible, but we will not really attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Changping City is less than a hundred miles away from the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The cavalry can reach Xizhimen in more than half a day. Before we leave the capital of the Ming Dynasty, we will go

It’s also a good choice to look at the capital of the Ming Dynasty.”

Azig threw his head back and laughed for the third time.

"Seventh brother said it well. We are about to leave the capital of the Ming Dynasty and return to Shengjing. How can we not visit the capital of the Ming Dynasty? I almost forgot the last time I went to Xizhimen, but the army all set off.

Going to the capital of the Ming Dynasty is too loud. I don’t think it is necessary. Let’s do this. I will lead two thousand soldiers on my behalf and quickly go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to have a look. You lead the army and wait in Changping Fucheng. If the army of the Ming Dynasty comes out to fight,

You can lead the army and rush to rescue quickly..."

Abata opened his mouth wide and looked at Azig. This was too crazy. He led two thousand people and dared to go to Xizhimen of the Ming capital. If all the Ming troops in the city were to mobilize, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Commander, no, it's too dangerous. I think it's better to lead the army to the capital of Ming Dynasty..."

"There is no need to mobilize troops. I will lead two thousand soldiers. It is enough. Brother Qi, I bet you that the Ming army will never dare to go out of the capital to fight. If I win, you will accompany me for one hundred taels of gold. If I lose, I will accompany you."

How about you one thousand taels of gold..."

Abate waved his hand.

"Commander, I won't bet with you, I just think it's too dangerous for the commander to do this."

"Haha, it's not dangerous at all. By the way, I just thought about it. When we leave Changping Mansion and return to Shengjing, we need to make some wooden signs and stand them in the middle of the road. Write down that all officials are free of charge.

For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, I will also let the drums sing and leave the capital in a grand manner and return to Shengjing..."

Looking at Azig with a proud face, Abate could not say anything.

...

Azig kept his promise and really led two thousand soldiers on horseback to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Abatai suddenly became nervous. You must know that there are heavy troops from the Ming Dynasty gathered in the capital. If they really attack, Azig leading a mere two thousand people will not be able to resist. Even if Abatai leads the army,

Rushing for reinforcements may not come in time. In any case, Azig is the coach and cannot make any mistakes.

After Azig led two thousand soldiers to set off, Abatai quickly mobilized his troops and generals, leaving 20,000 people to garrison Changping City to take care of people and property, and personally led the rest of the army to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Azig set out for the capital of the Ming Dynasty at 00:00, and the army led by Abatai set off at 03:00.

The soldiers led by Azig were all very fast, and Abatai was even more worried. Starting from Changping Fucheng, he ordered the army to speed up their journey and rush to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

...

Just after noon, the army led by Abate met Azig who was returning.

Seeing the army led by Abatai, Azig did not lose his temper.

"Brother Qi, you are too cowardly. I took the soldiers to the Xizhi Gate of the Ming Dynasty to have a look. The city gate was closed tightly and no one came out at all. The bells in the city were quite loud..."

"Commander, you are the commander of the army. You cannot make any mistakes. Of course I will lead the troops to respond."

Azig dismounted and pulled Abatai to the side of the official road.

"Seventh Brother, no matter what, I still want to thank you for leading the army to come to meet us. Well, our mission is completed. We will return to Shengjing tomorrow. There is no need to worry along the way."

"Okay, I will make all the arrangements tonight. All the baggage will be placed in the middle of the large group of people, and the elite soldiers will be behind it to prevent the Ming army from sneak attacks..."

Azig waved his hand.

"No, that would be too troublesome. There are too many people captured this time, and the marching speed will not be very fast. I think all the baggage will be placed at the back, and the elite army will be at the front..."

"Well, what will happen if the Ming army makes a sneak attack?"

"Brother Qi, you are thinking too much. I just led two thousand soldiers to the Xizhimen of the Ming Dynasty. I didn't see a single Ming army coming out to fight. I'm afraid they are eager for us to withdraw our troops early. How dare they attack us..."
