Chapter 673: Dolgon's Shipwreck
Wang Jiayan is a practical person, he was the right attendant of the military department to assist the Jingying Rongzheng, and was later promoted by Emperor Chongzhen to replace Li Guozhen as the governor of Beijing, this is already loyal to Chongzhen and even can die to die after the great loyal minister since taking office, under the heavy hand to rectify military affairs, iron determination to revive the prestige of the Beijing camp, after these months of conditioning, the Beijing camp from top to bottom from the inside to the outside have a new opportunity.
Wang Jiayan is also a proud person, Jingying gradually became more and more colorful in his hands, although he also offended some people and forces, but he was even appreciated and recognized by Emperor Chongzhen, and praised him for his good governance of the army several times, so that he once felt that his military talent was not inferior to Chang Yu, but he didn't have the opportunity to show it.
At this time, as soon as Chang Yu returned to the city, he let the elite be dispatched and sent Ji Jike to lead dozens of soldiers to come to the training, now Wang Jiayan was not happy, since he took charge of the Beijing camp, a small practice in three days, a big practice in ten days, and he thought that no matter military discipline or morale, or combat strength was not inferior to the general field troops, at this time, the little eunuch sent a few big soldiers to assault training What does it mean, look down on himself?
That's right, Chang Yu really doesn't look down on his little showmanship, actual combat is the only criterion for testing combat power, Jingying is like a vegetable melon who trains his muscles in the gym, no matter how big he is training, he has no power to parry when he encounters a boxer who fights every day.
Although Wang Jiayan was not angry in his heart, Chang Yu was ordered to supervise all the soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, and he could only hold back, and besides, the little eunuch was indeed a capable person, and his great military exploits were not falsely reported, which he still recognized, and he was also curious about how the people under his command trained, so he braved the rain and snow to come to watch.
In just one hour, the soldiers were tired, soaked and lying on the ground panting, letting the rain fall on their bodies, Li Muxian took advantage of this time to spit and fly for mobilization: "The Qing army has been exhausted after thousands of miles of rushing so far...... If the Tartars break the city, there will be no survivors, and all the children in your family will be harmed by it......"
Chang Yu was expressionless when he watched coldly from the side, but he was very proud in his heart, Li Muxian, a charlatan, not only has a good brain, can give him advice at critical moments, but also has a mouth that can make a good family a prostitute, can demagogue and boost morale, in the past, these things that needed to be done by himself were handed over to him, and he ended up with ease.
"Report to the Governor, there are several groups of people outside the city outside the Yongding Gate, and the four battalions under the command of the Dongchang Factory, Governor Wang will not enter the city to inform you to send someone to verify." At this time, there was a Dongchang fan who came to report in a hurry.
The Qing army is approaching, refugees are pouring in, city defense is the top priority, there are Beijing camp officers and soldiers guarding the city gates during the day, the city gate is closed at sunset, no one will be allowed to come in, even if the reinforcements can only stay outside, non-Beijing camp people enter the city unless there is the emperor's will.
Of course, the identity of the four battalions under the command of Dongchang is special, Wang Jiayan can't pay attention to it, and there is no way to confirm the identity, so he asked people to inform Chang Yu.
Chang Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and the four battalions under his command almost returned to Beijing with his front and rear feet, but he was lightly armed and fast, and he could change horses every time he arrived in a city, and the four battalions needed to carry a little baggage, and two battalions were heavy armored soldiers, and the foot travel was a lot slower.
Chang Yu immediately asked Wu Zhongda to go to check it, and asked Chen Wangting the time, it was already more than half of the hour (ten o'clock in the evening), so he asked the horses to go back to the camp to rest, and assemble out of the city tomorrow morning.
Less than half an hour after Wu Zhong left, the four battalions under the command of Dongchang entered the city, and they were tired from the long journey and the night was dark, so Chang Yu ordered the four battalions to find relatives and guard the yamen to rest, like Jin Wuwei and Teng Xiangwei's barracks were empty.
In the middle of the night, the rain and snow continued, the lights in the Dongchang Yamen outside the imperial city were bright, Chang Yu's eyes were red, and the commanders of the four battalions under his command and the close servants were all gathered here.
Chang Yu looked around and saw that everyone's faces were solemn, they were all tired, and coughed lightly: "Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong's cavalry will arrive in two days at the earliest, but the dog Tartar is only more than 100 miles away from the capital at the junction of Miyun and Huairou, and it can be reached in a day, and more than 30,000 Tartars are cavalry, and we only have more than 10,000 soldiers who are good at fighting in Tang Tong and Ma Kebu, and only more than half of the cavalry, and the rest are these raw melons and eggs in the city, how to stop it, do you have a good plan?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and then their eyes focused on Li Muxian, this bull-nosed head melon seed is the most clever, Li Muxian was uncomfortable by everyone, and saw Chang Yu's opinion, so he had to smile bitterly: "Overseer, there are poor and clever, this, this march and war have only been in contact for a few days, and they are really not good at ......"
Chang Yu also smiled wryly, got up and walked to the window, and listened to the sound of rain outside: "Although the governor is good at it, he can't ...... it."
In the same world, different dreams, hundreds of miles away in the mountain nest of the capital, an old man who hated Chang Yu to the bone was also listening to the rain and thinking about his heart at this time, needless to say that he was Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty.
A month ago, Dolgon coerced more than ten troops from the Qing capital Shenyang south to try to enter the pass and plunder, by the way to take advantage of the Ming civil strife to occupy its country, the Ming court got to report and ordered the commander of the East Factory Chang Yu to lead the troops out of the pass to meet the battle, but found that the Qing army did not go Ningyuan so he shot to lure the enemy to come, a king eight punches and the heavenly remnants of the foot to beat Dolgon lost his armor and fled in a hurry, the loss was heavy and the most in several years, hiding in Jinzhou City and not coming out, but how suddenly he suddenly entered the customs unknowingly, could he fly?
Dorgon wasn't a birdman, of course, he couldn't fly, but he was a very courageous man.
As Chang Yu expected, the Qing Dynasty had just established a new monarch, the situation was unstable, political enemies were fighting openly and secretly fighting each other, his position as the regent was not stable, and he could fall at any time.
Just imagine that the Qing Dynasty has entered the customs five times in the past few decades since the founding of the country, which one was not a bumper harvest, not only robbed the pockets of the bulging, but also took the opportunity to humiliate the Ming Court, but why when it came to his long face, he was beaten by someone as soon as he walked out of the door.
In public and private, Dolgon can't swallow this breath, and he can't return to the court for this class, otherwise he will have no chance to turn over, withstand the pressure of Abatai and Haoge and then discuss with Fan Wencheng and decide to break the cauldron and make the last fight, although Ning Yuan lost his troops in the first battle and lost all his baggage and could not attack the city, but he could still scrape together tens of thousands of cavalry, and he could quickly enter the pass with light and fast horses.
The reason why he and Fan Wencheng made this decision was due to the intelligence network of the Qing army, at this time they had found out that the rebellion of the Shanhaiguan general Gao Di was fake, but Li Zicheng's rebel army had indeed reached Baoding Mansion, and the imperial court urgently summoned people to the south to intercept it, and even the little eunuch in Ningyuan was transferred, so it can be said that the entire Gyeonggi was empty of soldiers at this time.
How could Dolgon let go of such a good opportunity, and even Hauge, who had reached some kind of deal with Chang Yu in private, was tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't defeat Dolgon this time, and he was the one who died later, so he won over Abatai to strongly oppose it, thinking that it was too dangerous for the lone army to go deep into the army and have few troops, and at this time, the Qing Dynasty troops were almost half damaged, and they couldn't afford to take this risk.
However, after all, Dolgon's power and influence in the army are far greater than that of Hauge, and with the support of Fan Wencheng, he finally succeeded, Hauge pretended to be angry and did not want to go along, Dolgon just didn't want him to share the credit, and you will guard Jinzhou to help me guard the back road, in case Wu Sangui blocks the retreat, it is also a troublesome thing.
But tens of thousands of horses were dispatched, how to hide from Wu Sangui, you must know that since he was defeated and returned to Jinzhou City, the Ming army's probe horses have been staring nearby, obviously Wu Sangui is monitoring him, to see when he will return to the court.
But this little trouble didn't bother Dolgon at all, and God happened to do him a small favor again.
