Chapter 598: Huang Taiji's Troubles

PS: Then ask for a monthly pass. Ask for a subscription.

Bao Chengxian, as the messenger of the decree, was covered with snowflakes and frost, and he also carried a few straw sticks on his head. This is what this servant deliberately reserved in order to show his loyalty to his master. However, he was loyal enough, in order to be able to report the matter of Jinzhou to Huang Taiji as soon as possible, Bao Chengxian kept hurrying day and night, and killed two horses one after another.

"Such a minion in Jinzhou! How dare you be so presumptuous! ”

Knowing what happened in Jinzhou City, Huang Taiji couldn't help kicking the kang table to the ground, and then, two blood arrows sprayed out of his nostrils again.

"Master Bao, don't panic, you tell your master in detail what happened in Jinzhou that day, don't miss a detail that you know." While calling for the guards to come in and clean up, Fan Wencheng signaled to Bao Chengxian to explain the ins and outs of the matter.

Bao Chengxian also settled down, and under the instruction of Huang Taiji, he sat on a low stool and began to tell the story of Jinzhou that day.

On that day, when Wu Biao came to the Jinzhou General Soldier's Mansion, Jinzhou's General Soldier's Zu Dashou's Mansion was undergoing another plan. Zu Dashou called his cronies to his side and asked: "One qiē has been prepared, no one can stay in the mansion, if one escapes, I will kill your whole family." ”

"Uncle, rest assured, the second master has checked it three times, and it must be foolproof! The three floors inside and outside the courtyards in the house are all our people, plus let's hold a banquet first, Wu Biao's house will inevitably be negligent in taking precautions, and when the time comes, we will rush up, even if there are fish that slip through the net, when they get to the courtyard, they will be beaten into a sieve with a row of guns. ”

"But general, I don't object to killing Wu Biao and his cronies, it's okay to kill the southern barbarians from Guangdong, but how can the soldiers and horses recruited by the Model Brigade in Daming also be killed? They are all trained Ding Zhuang. The combat effectiveness is also good, wouldn't it be a pity to kill it? ”

Zu Dashou smiled coldly and said: "The stronger the combat power, the more you have to die." These people all eat Wu Biao and drink Wu Biao, and there is only Wu Biao and no one else in their hearts on weekdays. It's okay to say, but the most important thing is that there are people who don't want them to live. ”

"Who?"

Zu Dashou shushed. Biting his ear, he said, "It's Dolgon on the Qing side." Although there was no word, there were some rumors over there, saying that once we took the model brigade to the past, the model brigade was bound to be reused by the Qing Emperor, and the forces that Dolgon had worked hard to manage in the past few years were suppressed by the Qing Emperor again! Once shaken his position. Do you think we can afford the revenge of this Rui Wangye? If the model brigade is not clean, he is in a high position and has a heavy army, and we will look good at that time. Of course, the Model Brigade is not completely incapable of staying. Those who are willing to surrender and are not Cantonese barbarians can be incorporated into our family team, and the treatment will remain the same!"

In the hall, a sumptuous banquet was set up, and the two brothers of the ancestral family waited for Wu Biao's arrival with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Wu, there's nothing to say. If we break through today, we still have to rely on your elite soldiers to fight the vanguard. Tear a hole for the brothers in each town, so that everyone can stand out! Come, old brother salutes you a bowl! ”

Ordered his subordinate generals to bring Wu Biao's guards to the corridor to drink and eat, and Zu Dashou sincerely picked up a bowl of wine all the way to toast Wu Biao.

Looking at the blue and white porcelain bowl full of soju, Wu Biao was a little vague, "Zuo Dudu." This? ”

"Brother Wu, I know that the implementation of military discipline in your ministry is still formulated by the old man Ning Yuanbo, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol during the New Year's Festival celebration, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol before the war. But today is different. Before the big war, drink some wine syrup to make a strong appearance! ”

"Exactly! Everything my brother said was the truth. What's more, breaking out, in the ice and snow, it is necessary to rush back and forth, and it is also legitimate to drink and keep warm. Come, Brother Wu, my ancestor Dabi also respects you! ”

Zu Dabi was also full of sincerity, picked up the wine bowl and faced Wu Biao, drank all the soju in the bowl, and looked at Wu Biao at the bottom of the bowl.

"Second General Zu is polite, how can this be done?"

"No, no! As the saying goes, courtesy must be demanded by others. My ancestor Dabi was a rough man, but he always told the truth. I have one thing to ask Brother Wu. ”

"Second General, please speak. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not say a word! ”

"Good! To tell the truth, the soldiers and horses under our brothers are okay with fighting and defending the city, but this retreat, breaking through the siege, and marching long distances are ponytails and tofu, not to mention. My second ancestor asked Brother Wu for help, if he broke out, when there were any signs of scattered rout of my family's soldiers and horses, my brother would have to help with righteousness! ”

What the ancestral brothers said was so reasonable and in line with their identities that Wu Biao's doubts were immediately dispelled.

"It's just a trivial matter, why is the governor of Lao Zuo and the second general worried? I'll do my best! ”

The three of them picked up the wine bowl and touched it "bang", and drank it separately.

Suddenly, Zu Dashou and Zu Dabi threw aside the wine bowl in their hands like lightning, and each twisted one of Wu Biao's hands, and the four big hands that had been in battle for a long time clamped Wu Biao's hands and arms like four iron tongs to make him unable to move.

Wu Biao was about to shout at the beginning of the big change, but a child of the ancestral family had already turned out behind him, holding a dagger in his hand, covering Wu Biao's mouth with one hand, and stabbing Wu Biao's back with the other hand, several times in a row, allowing the blood spurting out to stain his armor red. (Doesn't that sound familiar?) Students who feel familiar can go and review the Godfather's movie. )

After a while, seeing that Wu Biao was no longer moving, Zu Dashou let go of his hands and straightened the armor on his body, "Second brother, you clean up the people at home, and I'll go outside." ”

A cannon rang out, and Jinzhou became boiling.

In the Jinzhou General Soldier's Mansion, the ambush soldiers came out and killed dozens of relatives who came with Wu Biao.

In the barracks of the city, the sound of trumpets and cannons was heard, and they immediately turned their heads to the troops of the Model Brigade who were here to direct the baggage.

The units of the Model Brigade, which had been divided and scattered in various places, fell in pools of blood.

When I heard the news and learned that most of the model brigades in the city had changed, how could I sit still and wait for death? However, what the model brigade is good at is fighting after battle, and the roads in the city are blocked by all kinds of vehicles, so how to line up?

Without the model brigade with room to show, it is like Linghu Chong who has lost the sword in his hand, and the stunt of Dugu Jiujian is useless. For a time, he was beaten by the soldiers and horses of Datong Town, Jinzhou Defenders, and Shanxi Town.

Soon, Zu Dashou and others took control of the situation in the entire Jinzhou City.

Seeing that the big picture has been decided. Zu Dashou immediately issued an order, the city head replaced the Ming banner, erected a white flag, opened the city gate, and we returned to the Qing Dynasty!

"After my Qing soldiers and horses entered the city, there were still model brigades and horses in the city who resisted stubbornly. In order to pacify Jinzhou as much as possible, Prince Rui ordered to mobilize artillery fire to bombard the stubborn people, just like the Hunhe River in those years. ”

learned that his plan was seen through by Dolgon, and with the help of Zu Dashou's hands, he killed Wu Biao and uprooted the model brigade, and Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel dizzy in front of his eyes, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted.

When Huang Taiji slowly woke up. It was already the second watch, and in the bedroom, several important ministers and henchmen, with Lang Zhong's face full of anxiety, saw him slowly wake up, and couldn't help but turn into joy again. In the courtyard, there was a faint figure of a Kabush soldier, obviously strengthening the vigilance. Tight inside and loose on the outside to prevent changes.

"Your Majesty. Prince Su is outside, please come in? ”

"Message. Since Jinzhou has been pacified, there is no need for the soldiers and horses besieging Jinzhou and the former Ming army to stay in the Jinzhou area. You can quickly turn around and go north to solve the Hong Chengchou Department of the Ming Army in Guangning. ”

"Besieging our army, you can shout under the city after dawn. Inform the Ming army in the city of Jinzhou's surrender. ”

Huang Taiji ignored Fan Wencheng's construction for the time being, and just said what he thought one by one, so that the pen post next to him was recorded. After the transcription was completed and handed to Fan Wencheng for a look, Huang Taiji slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pass Haug in!"

"Master. Did the slave ask Prince Su to receive the order here? ”

"Mr. Fan, there is a will, you can draw it up for me." Huang Taiji just poured out his inner thoughts.

Huang Taiji's will is very simple, it is for the Eight Banners prince Baylor on the Jinzhou front. Ordered them to send Zu Dashou, Wang Pu and others who had surrendered to Jinzhou to Guangning to meet him, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, "the list of personnel of all units of the Ming army who surrendered to Shun and captured was submitted, and the officers of all units above the officer level of the original Beijing battalion could be escorted to Guangning to see me." ”

At the same time, in order to strengthen the artillery fire of the attack on Quang Ninh, Huang Taiji ordered Dolgon to send the artillery team and the artillery and ammunition of the Ming army captured in Jinzhou to the front line of Quang Ninh immediately.

After dawn, shouts and surrenders sounded one after another under the city of Quang Ninh.

"Jinzhou has fallen! Brothers at the head of the city, stop dreaming, open the city gates, and return to the Qing Dynasty! ”

"Zu Dashou blades Wu Biao, Jinzhou City Fire and Model Brigade!"

"Inspector Hong, Zu Dashou has surrendered, what are you going to do?"

"Want to run? Look at the dozens of trenches outside, and then look at your team, can you run a lot, can you fight? ”

Faced with the constant shouts and shouts coming from outside the city, Ma Ke and the others in the city did not believe it at first. However, the shouts continued, and as time went by, the signs of an accident in Jinzhou became more and more obvious.

First of all, the artillery positions under the city have increased greatly, and the dense artillery is terrifying to watch, and large and small vehicles are constantly transporting shells and gunpowder to the gun emplacements of the long trenches everywhere. If it weren't for the settlement of the war in the direction of Jinzhou, where would Huang Taiji have conjured up so many artillery?

Another sign is that the flags of the generals of the Jinzhou garrison appeared under the city. Originally, I thought that these flags would appear majestically under the city of Quang Ninh, and the owner of the banner would lead the army to break through the resistance of the Qing army and join the comrades in the city of Guangning, but I did not expect that they would meet everyone in such a form.

Then came an even more depressing sight. In the long trenches under the city, the number of troops was significantly increased, and the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Two Red Banners of Manchuria near Jinzhou appeared under the city of Guangning.

At the same time, some soldiers who were still dressed in the clothes of their ancestors also appeared in the long trench.

All these put huge psychological pressure on the defenders in the city.

In view of this, Hong Chengchou, who was trapped in the lonely city, convened the generals of the army in the city to discuss the defense.

Although trapped in a lonely city, lack of firewood and grass, but Inspector Hong did not say anything about the ability to control the army under his subordinates. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of firewood and grass this winter. It's really hard.

"Everyone, relax your mind, Zu Dashou is repeatedly changeable, nothing more than wanting to learn from Lu Bu to be the slave of the three surnames, this is up to him, and he will die a moment later. Although our army was in difficulty, the food, grass and ordnance were enough to support it until the beginning of spring. We've been struggling until February. Although the cold is rampant, after all, it is the end of the strong crossbow, and the solar terms must not be fake! Although the model brigade has a gap with Li Shouhan, there is a friendship after all, and Zu Dashou killed the model brigade, how can Ning Yuanbo spare it. If my estimation is correct, at this time, Ning Yuanbo is afraid that he has already been angry for three thousand feet, and he will swear to avenge this revenge with all the soldiers and horses in Nanzhong. ”

Although the battle situation is unfavorable, Hong Chengchou is still neatly dressed. The costumes are exquisite, and the three locks of ink hair are taken care of very carefully, and the gestures do not reflect the demeanor and momentum of the Inspector.

"The generals have all dealt with Ning Yuanbo and the Nanyue Army, and they are rich in money and food, sophisticated in equipment, and strong in the south of the country. Destroying Jiannu is just a gesture, if it weren't for Jiannu's shit luck. Heavy snow is blocking the road, and I'm afraid you are already drinking in Shenyang City at this time to celebrate. However, when luck always runs out, when Ning Yuanbo's army goes north, it will be the death of Jiannu and the death of his ancestor Dashou! ”

"And the generals, you only need to rein in the troops. Join me to see how Jiannu and Zu Dashou and others died without a place to be buried, this time is not too far away, just need to wait until the weather warms up and the ice melts and the snow melts. ”

Cao Bianjiao and the others were about to nod their heads to show their support for the foresight of the Supervisor. A broken gong sounded: "What the Lord Inspector said is reasonable!" My old horse said, what is so great about his Jiannu, isn't it the ability to squat in the trench and be a turtle, I don't know if you are afraid or not, anyway, Lao Tzu is not afraid. Of course, Lao Tzu can't die, Lao Tzu is still waiting to go to Shenyang in the future to all the wives of Huang Taiji! It is said that Hai Lanzhu's aunt and sister are both Huang Taiji's wives! Lao Tzu also plans to try the taste of his aunt and nephew together! ”

When everyone heard this, they knew that no one else could say these words in public, and it was none other than General Marcoma.

However, at this time, Hong Chengchou needs such a person to express his position, and in the face of Ma Ke's vulgar words, he still smiled and praised: "Okay, well-said, this is my hero of the Ming Dynasty." General Ma, don't worry, this matter will not be too far away. When the snow melts in spring, Ning Yuanbo's army arrives, and the golden silk children in Shenyang City are at their disposal, and the Governor is here to assure you that the impeachment of the imperial envoy is mine, and you can do whatever you want. He stepped on Shenyang to capture the slave chieftain every day, and the old man should also show his heroic style with the general army of Ma! ”

Although the words are relaxed and comfortable, Hong Chengchou is a character who has been in the battlefield and officialdom for a long time, and he is still insightful about the fickleness of people's hearts on the battlefield. Just in case, Quang Ninh's city defense has made some adjustments. The division of the Horse Division was replaced, and it was used as the force under the direct control of the superintendent. The guards of the four cities were also replaced by the troops of Cao Bianjiao and others, and the soldiers and horses of the original Guanning military system were withdrawn from the city wall, and they took turns to defend in the name of it.

Huang Taiji originally planned to use the surrender of Jinzhou Zu Dashou to give Hong Chengchou a dismount and hit the morale of the Ming army in Guangning City, but unexpectedly, it backfired, and the morale of the Ming army in Guangning was not reduced, especially the damn Ma Ke, and he rushed to the long trench outside the city all day long and scolded Hai Lanzhu before, and after the spring snow broke Shenyang, he wanted to fuck Huang Taiji's remaining wife.

A more subtle change, the army of the Guanning military system, which was originally defending in the city, was replaced by Hong Chengchou, transferred to the city to rest, and replaced by Xuanda and Shaanxi soldiers to defend the army. The Guan Ning Army, which was replaced, was stationed together with the Ma Ke Division. Since Hai Lanzhu's incident, Na Ma Ke has been the person who must be killed in the eyes of the Eight Banners, and he himself knows that if the army is defeated, everyone else can surrender, but he can't. Therefore, Hong Chengchou handed over these soldiers and horses to him for control, which can be regarded as knowing people and being good at their duties.

Seeing that the means of surrender and internal response were not easy to use, Huang Taiji had to take a move and attack. Otherwise, there will be many dreams at night, and the longer the delay, the more unfavorable it will be for the Qing army. There's a good chance that a weird comeback will happen again.

"Ming can afford to lose, Li Shouhan can afford to lose, but I can't afford to lose."

Regarding the battle of national fortune in front of him, where how many lives were gambled, Huang Taiji had to look at the gray Guangning City and sighed.

Returning to the dormitory of Qingyan Temple, he summoned a person for questioning.

"What's the situation in Jinzhou?"

The man knelt on the ground and said: "Back to the master, the minions found out that after Jinzhou Zu Dashou and others returned to obedience, Prince Rui immediately waved his army into the city and put the Jinzhou Ming army in full control." Wang Pu and Li Fuming, who originally planned to return to Ningyuan after sacrificing the city, were all accused by Prince Rui. ”

Wang Pu and the others were originally wishful thinking. Sacrifice Jinzhou, and use the heads and blood of your comrades to exchange yourself for a path back to Ningyuan. As long as you return to Shanxi and Datong, isn't it still the same glory and wealth? Unfortunately, Dorgon didn't give them that chance. Immediately after entering the city, they forcibly controlled their army, and disarmed all the men and horses, and collected all the mules and horses.

A look of approval appeared on Huang Taiji's black face: "What about the rest of the departments? ”

"According to the minions. Prince Rui selected the remaining 2,000 people of the model brigade and selected four or five hundred strong people to be put into two white flags, and the remaining nearly 800 people belonged to each flag. There are nearly 1,000 people left, and Prince Rui ordered people to be imprisoned in Guangning to be incorporated into the two yellow flags and handed over to the master for moderation! ”

Hum! This group of guys is a group of knowledgeable people! For this little action of his subordinates, Huang Taiji also knows everything about it. Although there are no legendary blood droplets. But the previous emperors of the Qing Dynasty were clear about the situation. In addition to the secret folding system invented by Kangxi Yongzheng and his son, it mainly relied on the use of spy details to obtain information.

The thieves in Liaodong have always been pervasive, carefully working or pretending to be people, or holding military positions in the Ming Dynasty, or spending a lot of money to win over important people everywhere, and the details of the key points in the Ming Dynasty, the dynamics of officialdom, are in their eyes. It's as if it's transparent. The role played by these people was no less than that of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

"What about my two good brothers? What's going on these days? ”

The man paused slightly. He bowed his head and replied slowly: "The servants and others have found out that since the start of the Tashan War, Prince Rui has rewarded the generals of various departments by virtue of the arbitrary power given to him by his master. He also relied on the wealth and population obtained from several wars to buy people's hearts and win over his subordinates. Now. Except for the few generals of the Guerjia clan with the yellow flag, there was no change, and the rest of the generals of the banner all praised Prince Rui in private. ”

Several muscles on Huang Taiji's black fat face twitched twice, and a burst of intense anger rushed to the top of his head, but he didn't dare to attack. Dorgon made a name for himself down there. He was also aware of it. But due to the limitations of the war, he could only turn a blind eye. However, now that the war in Jinzhou has subsided, he is still so presumptuous, which is intolerable!

The day before yesterday, he ordered Dolgon to transfer his troops and horses north to join the siege of Quang Ninh. As a result, Dolgon only released the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the two Red Banners. His own two white flags are soldiers and horses and the clothed soldiers of his department, but they are still stranded in the Jinzhou area.

An excuse that Huang Taiji couldn't find a reason to refute was on his desk.

"The Ming army of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan seems to be moving, and the slave department does not dare to move lightly!"

"This person's minions have already fledged, don't be careless!" Waving his hand to send the man away, Huang Taiji slumped on the circle chair and pondered.

Originally, the troops and horses of the Dolgon brothers were placed on the front line of Tashan, and he Huang Taiji may not have the intention of borrowing a knife to kill people and using Li Shouhan's artillery fire to consume the strength of the Dolgon brothers. However, Dolgon's luck was too good, and the soldiers and horses did not suffer major losses, and they also gathered the hearts of the soldiers and horses sent by various banners and departments to help. It has also obtained tens of thousands of Guan Ning troops, and its strength and combat effectiveness are really the best among the Eight Banners.

"I knew there was such a result, I should have let my tiger's mouth go to Tower Mountain!"

One of the weaknesses of human beings is that they only see thieves eating meat, not thieves being beaten. Huang Taiji just fixed his eyes on the strong soldiers under the command of the Dolgon brothers today, but he forgot about the fact that the two brothers braved Li Huamei's artillery fire to rush back and forth to kill. Even more forgetful, Dorgon himself swung his sword into battle, and there were only seven or eight guards around Dorgon. If it weren't for Cao Zhenyan's cannonball, I am afraid that at this moment, one of his Huang Taiji's black heads has been placed on Chongzhen's dragon book case.

"Message! Be sure to break the city in a hurry! I want to live Hong Chengchou! I want all the Ming troops in Quang Ninh City! ”

A voice roared in his heart, grabbed a document on the table and glanced at it hastily, and it was reported that the Sauron people in Heilongjiang took advantage of the harsh winter season to loot and kill in the south, and the thieves in Liaodong suffered a lot of losses.

"Good! After I take Quang Ninh, I will go north to personally conquer this group of barbarians! ”

Huang Taiji made up his mind that he would use more and greater military exploits to suppress Dorgon's light. (To be continued......)
