My father is Jiajing

Chapter 153: One Slap and Another Slap

Chapter 153 Slap after Slap
After Zhamusu and others were escorted away, Zhu Zaigui did not waste any time and immediately ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

The harvest of this battle was quite fruitful. The 5,000 Tatar light cavalry that came in pursuit were almost completely wiped out, and only a few hundred escaped.

There were more than two thousand war horses still left in the woods. Although there were still one or two thousand horses that had run far away, time was running out, and Zhu Zaigui naturally could not continue to divide his troops to chase back these scattered war horses.

It would be tragic if, while they were packing up their war horses, the Tatar bandits in Shixiaying reacted and sent a large army to chase them.

After all, in terms of absolute strength and absolute numbers, Zhu Zaigui's men were far inferior to theirs.

Therefore, we still cannot take it lightly. We should take advantage of whatever we can. If we cannot take advantage of anything, we should not be in a hurry to take advantage of it for the time being. Anyway, as long as we have the green mountains remaining, we will have a chance to survive.

Finally, after pulling up all the scattered horses in the woods and bringing up his own dead and wounded, Zhu Zaigui also ordered a withdrawal.

A group of people took advantage of the sunset light and returned to the Qingshuitan camp in a mighty manner.

Huang Jin, who had already taken a nap for almost two hours, was extremely excited when he saw the army led by Zhu Zaigui returning victoriously.

Huang Jin and Meng Chong trotted all the way to Zhu Zai's front, "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Zhu Zaigui laughed and got off his horse triumphantly. Then he called Teng Xiang again, "Provide good compensation to the fallen soldiers, settle the wounded, and send them all to the Shunyi Industrial Park in the rear. Don't let them and their families shed blood and tears."

"For those who died in battle, in addition to the court's compensation, our industrial park will also provide their families with an additional 100 taels of silver, and allow their families to enter the industrial park to work."

"For those who are seriously injured, we will do our best to treat them and give them an additional fifty taels of silver. For those who can continue to serve in the army, we will continue to arrange for them. If they are too seriously injured to serve in the army, our industrial park will also be responsible for accepting them and let them do what they can in the industrial park."

Teng Xiang bowed and said, "I obey your command."

After hearing what Zhu Zaigui said, Huang Jin also sighed: "Your Majesty is really kind-hearted. He can provide such good benefits and retreat for these wounded soldiers. I admire you very much."

Zhu Zaigui smiled and said, "You are too kind, eunuch. These soldiers fought for the Ming Dynasty. Their sacrifice and dedication cannot be ignored by me. Moreover, as your majesty's son, I should share your majesty's worries. Let the families of the fallen and the wounded truly feel your majesty's great grace. This is also my duty as a son."

Huang Jin sighed, "Your Majesty is kind and filial."

Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but sigh at this time: "This time, nearly 500 people were killed or injured. This is also a huge blow to me. The bandits are numerous, and I am alone. Now there are only 2,000 people in Qingshuitan. Can you think of a way to mobilize some more elite troops for me? For example, the troops of the Warrior Camp. Of course, I won't take them for nothing. I will use one of Anda's sons in exchange."

When Huang Jin heard Zhu Zaigui say that he wanted to exchange Anda's son for the Warrior Battalion, he was also shocked and said, "What did your Highness say? Anda's son?"

Zhu Zaiqi bared his teeth and said, "Lucky luck, this prince is so lucky that when I went out to ambush, I happened to catch a son of Anda. He called himself Yixun Taiji and was being held behind me."

Huang Jin was immediately excited. This was a great achievement. He had worked in the palace for so many years, and had never heard of anyone capturing a Tatar noble leader in the battle of the Nine Frontiers. But now Zhu Zaigui said that he had captured Anda's son. This was incredible.

If such a great achievement were bestowed upon an ordinary general, he would at least be granted the title of marquis!

Huang Jin asked excitedly: "Where is it?"

Zhu Zaigui coughed twice and said, "Bring that Taiji here and let Eunuch Huang take a look."

The personal guards around Zhu Zaigui immediately went to the back and brought Zhamu over.

At this time, Zhamusu had lost the motivation to resist. He was like a defeated rooster, with his head hanging and no energy at all.

Zhu Zaigui said to Huang Jin: "Please look, sir, this is the Taiji who claims to be the son of Altan."

Huang Jin looked at Zhamusu with eyes as if he was looking at a priceless treasure, and he never felt bored no matter how much he looked at him.

Huang Jin asked, "Are you Anda's son?" Zhamusu looked at the fat, white, beardless man in front of him and guessed that the man in front of him should be a eunuch from the Ming Dynasty.

Zhamusu said in a muffled voice: "You can kill me or chop me up as you like."

When Zhu Zaiqi heard this, he immediately groaned and then slapped him, "Aiya? Why weren't you so tough when I caught you? Why are you pretending to be a hero now? Just answer whatever I ask you. If you don't say it, I'll let someone else say it. If someone else says it, you won't have a chance to say it, understand?"

After being slapped in the face by Zhu Zaigui, Zhamusu wanted to get angry again, but after seeing Zhu Zaigui's cold eyes and what he had just said, he immediately backed down.

Because Zhamusu knew very well that the young man's words about killing the general were not a joke, and when he was captured, more than a dozen of his personal guards were also captured at the same time. One of these people would definitely betray him.

If Zhu Zaigui really didn't ask him a question and asked someone else, he might not have a chance to speak.

"What is your name?"

Zhu Zaigui asked again in a domineering tone.

Zhamusu said with a weak expression, "Zhamusu."

Zhu Zaiqi slapped him again, "You are not being honest, are you? Didn't you say before that you were a taiji? Why is it Zhamusu again?"

Jamsu was slapped again, and said aggrievedly: "Yierjiangxun Taiji is my title, Jamsu is my name, I am the ninth son of Khan Alda, the leader of the Right Tumed Tribe, I am a noble, you can't do this to me!"

Zhu Zaiqi slapped him again, "You are nothing noble, you are nothing noble in front of me."

Zhu Zaigui's unsportsmanlike slaps repeatedly shattered Zhamusu's self-esteem, causing tears to flow from his eyes.

In the past, his status was so noble, and he was so proud and conceited, and he regarded himself as a grassland warrior.

But now that he was captured, his pride and conceit naturally disappeared. Moreover, the young general who captured him was so arrogant and unreasonable that he beat and killed people at will.

Faced with such a domineering master, Zhamu Su naturally did not dare to proudly show off his backbone anymore, because he was really afraid that the young general in front of him who called himself "this king" would really kill him if they disagreed with him.

Huang Jin's eyes lit up even brighter at this time. His identity was confirmed. He was really a treasure.

Zhu Zaiqi looked at Huang Jin and said, "Eunuch Huang, what do you think about the Warriors Camp?"

Huang Jin said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will take care of this matter. When I bring this Anda's son back, His Majesty will definitely grant Your Majesty's request!"

Zhu Zaiqi grinned, "Thank you very much, eunuch."

Huang Jin was so excited that he had no patience to stay in Qingshuitan any longer. He wanted to take Zhamusu back with him to tell the good news to Emperor Jiajing and cheer him up.

Just as Huang Jin was about to leave, Zhu Zaiqi called out again, reminding him: "Eunuch, the token, that token, a very important token!"

Huang Jin suddenly remembered what Zhu Zaigui had said before. Although he was very conflicted, considering Zhu Zaigui's record of capturing Zhamu Su, he decided to take a gamble.

Huang Jin carefully took the gold token out of his arms, "Your Majesty, use it with caution. This token is not an ordinary token."

Zhu Zaigui snatched it from Huang Jin's hand, and then said to Huang Jin with a smile: "As long as you can get the Warrior Battalion to me, it will be a sure thing. It's getting late now, you should take this Taiji back quickly and let His Majesty see that this Anda is nothing but a chicken and a dog under the awe of His Majesty's mighty power!"
