Chapter 600: Sunset West Mountain

As soon as the Red Gangster led the army back to Shengjing, North Korea had a good news report.

"Marshal Du" led 80,000 or 90,000 Han troops and Goryeo soldiers, fought fiercely with Dongjiang soldiers and Korean troops for more than half a month, lost more than 10,000 battles, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and now has taken Yizhou.

The Dongjiang soldiers and the Korean army fled to more than a dozen islands such as Phi Dao and Shenmi Island to survive, but unfortunately our Daikin did not have a strong naval division and could not seize those islands and completely wipe out Donggang Town.

Seeing that Kong Youde, Zhang Cunren, and others made new contributions, they also added officials to dozens of generals who participated in the war, and rewarded Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and so on with a lot of kitsch stolen from Shanxi.

In order to check and balance, the Red Gangsters sent most of the Han Chinese who had been captured from Shanxi to Liaodong to Pyongyang, and sent 10,000 newly returned Chahar Mongol cavalry to settle in Korea with their families.

The Nu chieftain took control of the whole of Korea by the Eight Banners and the Mongols to drive the Han Chinese to manage the Goryeo.

Zu Dashou of Jinzhou was not prepared to deceive the red gangster again this time, he broke the jar and broke it when he could not get the Ming Dynasty's salary, and he was in full swing to prepare for surrender, and the top priority was to calculate the civil and military generals who refused to follow.

The reason why the ancestral family is powerful in Jinzhou is because Zu Dashou is the chief military officer of the Zuodu Governor who hung the seal of the forward general in the Ming Dynasty.

There are dozens of nephews and henchmen of the ancestral family who serve as deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, and garrisons in the army, and they not only have the righteousness of the imperial court, but also have absolute strength.

However, when he was preparing to defect to the enemy, he really couldn't ensure that everyone would follow, and he didn't even think that the generals of his lineage would choose to surrender to Jiannu.

The current situation in Jinzhou is very different from that in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Wu Sangui led his men and horses to surrender to Jiannu at Shanhaiguan.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had sunset, the people of the West Mountain were not living, the capital was lost, the emperor was hanged, and the soldiers had long lost confidence in the imperial court, thinking that the Ming Dynasty had no future.

At this time, it was only seven years of Chongzhen, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet reached the desperate situation where the rebels were beaten into Beijing by the Liukou.

Moreover, there is a unique "Red Flag Army" showing its muscles on the front line of Ningyuan and Tashan to win over Zu Dashou's temperance and horses.

Inertial thinking is not simple, after all, the Ming Dynasty is a great country that has existed for two hundred decades, what kind of shameless civil and military generals should be willing to fall and surrender to a barbarian tribe?

Therefore, Zu Dashou also had a crisis of mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings, and now he began to lose sleep all night.

Jinzhou is claimed to have 50,000 or 60,000 men and horses, and the actual number of soldiers and horses will not exceed 40,000.

The vast majority of the men and horses stationed in Jinzhou can be regarded as the ancestral army, which is an absolute lineage, with 20,000 numbers and 6,000 cavalry.

Because most of the henchmen and brothers, sons and nephews have either surrendered to Jiannu, or fought in the Guannei.

Directly led to Zu Dashou to control the descendants of the generals are few, and now only the clan brother Zu Daquan and the adopted son Zu Zeyuan and so on can be used, Zu Dashou is really worried about the mutiny when the surrender is announced.

The main reason is that the "Red Flag Army" is too bad, so that the Jinzhou Ming Army has a pure land in their hearts.

I am afraid that many Ming troops do not care whether there is a family member of Zu Dashou, and some Ming troops who have already realized think that without their ancestors, the military and people of Jinzhou should have a better life under the leadership of the "Red Banner Army".

The Houjin army came to Jinzhou but there was no battle, and they withdrew without even destroying it, which is contrary to common sense.

The vast majority of the generals of the Ming army sensed something, and many civilian officials who accompanied the army praised paintings, gave the matter, the imperial history, and the general judgment of the grain had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming.

The Jinyi Guards and Banner Guards who were lurking in the Jinzhou Army had already obtained accurate information and began to collect evidence of the joint traitor of the eunuchs of the prison army and the Zu Taibao.

The flag guards are active, and their task is to win as many Jinzhou people as possible to defect to Ningyuan.

Jin Guofeng, a general of Jinzhou stationed on the front line of Songshan, is the object of the flag guards, and now the two sons of the Jin family who followed their father to serve in the army have been bewitched by the flag guards and have the idea of defecting to Ningyuan.

It's just that the upright Jin Guofeng's personality is somewhat similar to He Kegang, and he doesn't believe that Zu Dashou will surrender to Jiannu at all.

After all, Huang Han had a personal enmity with his ancestors, and most of the Ming soldiers knew that he believed that the "Red Flag Army" was suspected of deliberately slandering Zu Taibao.

In recent years, the "Red Flag Army" and the ancestral army have been fighting and fighting each other in the dark, and Jin Guofeng believes that in the final analysis, it is still the interests that are at work, because the ratio of Liao's salary has led to endless infighting between the two armies.

Jin Guofeng refused to abolish the public for personal reasons, and was unwilling to intervene in the struggle for power and profit between the two camps of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, so he chose to do his job well and lead the less than 3,000 men and horses under his command to stick to Songshan.

The defense line of Tashan Nanbao is more than 60 miles away from Songshan where Jin Guofeng is stationed, and Zu Dashou has increased his troops in Tashan Fort in order to strictly prevent Jinzhou people from defecting to Ningyuan, and the ancestral ironclad team patrols from time to time.

At the end of September, Huang Han entered Beijing again, and the "Red Banner Army" had only one hundred young cavalry musketeers and eleven personal guards.

The Jinyi Guard and the Beijing cavalry were lost more than 30 percent, a small half of them were killed in battle, more than half were still recuperating from their wounds, and only more than 2,800 people returned with honors.

The hero triumphed, and it was inevitable that the Beijing division would be empty again, and Wu Nag was really cut by a thousand knives, and too many soldiers and civilians in the Beijing division fought for his flesh.

More than 10,000 troops were dispatched, and the number of beheadings was as high as more than 10,000.

The emperor rewarded meritorious deeds, and one of the celebrant and eunuchs, Fang Zhenghua, became the chief eunuch of the commander of the Jingying people, and was the most popular eunuch.

Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan, the three guerrilla generals of the Beijing camp, became generals from the second rank, and they were actually taught, and there were more than 1,000 more men and horses under their command.

Li Ruolian became the commander of the Jinyi Guard with the title of Governor of the Right Capital, responsible for the entire Beizhen Fusi, and there was also a Wei commander Luo Yangxing who was sent to Nanjing to be in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi.

Lou Yun was promoted to Jinyiwei Tongzhi, Ai Guodong, You Cunqing, and Zhang Chao were appointed as Jinyiwei signatories, and each actually controlled two Jinyiwei thousand households.

Liu Zhilun was appointed by the emperor as the left attendant of the Ministry of War, this time it was not a false position, but a real award, and he was the second-in-command of the Ministry of War in the future.

The first meritorious Huang Han got the hereditary replacement of the marquis this time, stayed in Beijing as the governor of Jingying, and his infant son Huang Jin was taken by the little marquis and became the prince recognized by the imperial court.

Huang Yizhou was canonized as a forward general with the addition of the left governor, Hanzi was added to the left governor, Yang Danian was added to the right governor, Yang Guoen, Song Pengfei, Yang Hanwei, Sang Yu, Liu Fenyong, Zhang Yang and other generals were promoted at one or two levels.

Gao Youmou not only managed Dengzhou meritorious, but also took the initiative to lead the cavalry to aid the Beijing division in time, and the men and horses under his command won a lot of money, and Gao was promoted, and the imperial court resumed the position of governor of Denglai.
