Chapter 934: Exchanging Bones
Wu Sangui cut down trees on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and began to set up a temporary camp to confront the Ming army in Chongqing across the river.
Not long after, Hauge led the men and horses over, and when Wu Sangui got the news, he led many generals to greet Hauge outside the camp gate with trepidation.
The Jin State implemented sinicization, abolished the shaving order, and even the emperor Haoge grew his hair and used it to gain the recognition of the Han people, and most of the Han people in the Jin State also restored their clothes, but there were exceptions.
Wu Sangui is one of the exceptions, after his defeat in Wanxian, his strength was greatly damaged, Haoge controlled Tongguan and other places, cut off the connection between Sichuan and Shaanxi and Beijing to prepare for self-reliance, Wu Sangui could not contact Beijing, and took refuge in Haoge very well aware of current affairs.
When Hauge announced the abolition of the order to shave his hair and change clothes, and the Han people of Sichuan and Shaanxi rejoiced, Wu Sangui did not lose his braids, not to show his continued allegiance to Dorgon, but to show goodwill to Hauge and the Manchus of the Jin Kingdom, because although Hauge grew his hair, Jierharang, Aobai and others did not grow his hair.
At this time, Wu Sangui was in a worried mood, standing outside the camp gate, and Haoge's honor guard in the distance had appeared in front of him, he immediately waved his horsewhip, beat the horse forward, and waited in front of Haoge, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, ran forward quickly, and suddenly bowed down, "The criminal minister is incompetent, and he did not complete the task assigned by the emperor, causing my Dajin Kingdom to lose two generals, and he really deserves death, and please punish the emperor!" ”
Haoge sat on the horse for a while, then turned over and dismounted and walked in front of Wu Sangui, took a deep breath, helped him up, and then said softly: "I understand this matter, and I can't blame Qing, it is Aobai and Tablecloth Tai who are rash and rash the enemy, and they have done their best." ”
Wu Sangui originally thought that Haoge would be angry with him, but he didn't expect to be comforted by gentle words, but after thinking about it carefully, he also understood that the big reason for Haoge's attack on Sichuan this time was to cut off the connection between the Hanchen and the Ming Dynasty in the Jin State, create antagonism, and at the same time take the opportunity to master the army and enhance the Manchu control over the army, so as to form a check and balance, but now although Haoge has achieved the goal of antagonizing the Jin State and the Ming Dynasty, but as soon as the army worships and dies, his goal of containing the Han army is completely frustrated.
This will inevitably make Haoge feel uneasy, if Haoge wants to be the emperor of Dajin with peace of mind, he must win him over, and in the future, he will definitely divide and disintegrate the Han ministers, and create many factions within the Han people, and he, the person who switches the switch, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
"Have you taken back the bodies of Ao Bai and Tablecloth Tai?" Haoge helped Wu Sangui up, and he was reminded by Sony that Wu Sangui really can't be blamed now.
This time, the Manchu generals were defeated, Ao Bai died, and the Manchus in the Jin State were further weakened, which was very easy to cause the instability of the Jin State regime, so now is not the time to move Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui listened to Haoge's question, but hurriedly bowed down, "The minister is incompetent, he fell for the tricks of the Ming army, and he did not recapture the body." Now the Ming army has all retreated to the south bank and began to build fortifications to prevent us from crossing the river. ”
Haoge was very angry when he heard that the corpse was not snatched back, Wu Sangui didn't rescue Aobai, even the corpse fell into the hands of the Ming army, isn't it a bit too much.
Hauge frowned and was silent for a while, and after half a sound, he did not have a seizure, but sighed, "Advanced battalion, let's talk about it!" ”
On the side of the Ming army, Wang Deren and Li Dingguo crossed the river from the pontoon bridge, and finally Li Dingguo, who crossed the river, set fire to the three pontoon bridges, and then caught up with Wang Deren and entered Chongqing together.
He Tengjiao just let the two of them break off to ensure that the main force could be withdrawn safely, and he didn't want the two to actually fight an ambush, and cut Aobai and Tablecloth Tai, He Tengjiao heard the news first, and was immediately overjoyed.
He rushed to Sichuan to support, but Hezhou was still broken by the Jin army, and the generals Yuan Zongdi, Wu Yi, Wu Yishan and others were broken, although he was temporarily responsible, and the main responsibility for the defeat of Sichuan was not on him, but he came to eastern Sichuan for a trip, and his face was always not good-looking, and the court would question his ability.
Now that he has beheaded Aobai, the situation is different, and he has won back some face for the Ming army.
At that moment, He Tengjiao wanted to marinate the corpses of Ao Bai and Table Butai for embalming, and then send them to Nanjing to ask for merit, but Li Dingguo raised objections.
He took Aobai's body away in exchange for Yuan Zongdi and other generals in Zhongyi Town, or other soldiers captured by the Jin army, not to send them to Nanjing for merit.
He Tengjiao was a little reluctant, after all, Hezhou was broken, and Aobai's body was sent to Nanjing, which could whitewash the defeat of the Ming Dynasty in Sichuan and leave a fig leaf for many governors and generals in the southwest, while Yuan Zongdi was just a general, most of them were dead, and it seemed meaningless to exchange them back.
He Tengjiao is a traditional civil servant, and most of the military generals are looked down upon and regarded as tools, and his thinking is not unique, and it is also very typical and common in the Ming Dynasty.
In this regard, Li Dingguo persuaded him: "Yuan Duzhen and Zhongyi Erlang defended Hezhou for the country, and the broken bones of the city fell into the hands of the enemy country. If you use the bones of Ao Bai to exchange the bones of the governor and the captured Erlang back, the Jin army will come again, will the soldiers dare to die without serving their lives? The last general thinks that if he gives up his hero, he will undoubtedly lose his wings!"
The person was killed by Li Dingguo, and his words resonated with many generals, and the soldiers were shrouded in horse leather, and no one wanted to fall into the hands of the enemy after death.
Although He Tengjiao was unwilling, he could only nod in agreement.
At this time, the Jin army began to camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and Haoge and his party came to a temporary camp tent, and everyone sat down according to their identities, and there was silence in the tent for a while, and there was no joy after breaking through Hezhou.
After Han Chaoxuan sat down, seeing that no one spoke, he moved his buttocks, then stood up cautiously, and saluted Haoge: "Your Majesty, the ministers did not approve of doing anything to Nanming before, but now they really lose both, and I didn't get much from Dajin Guo, but I offended Nanming."
, lost two generals. ”
Hauge sat in the center and listened to Han Chaoxuan's words, and immediately became a little unhappy.
"Master Han, it doesn't make sense to say that! This time, it was mainly because of the defeat that Ao worshipped the enemy! The Manchurians are in favor of Nanming, and even Fan Wencheng is also the head of the Manchurians, Zilharang, who introduced Haoge, and Sony immediately said: "Besides, the current situation, we are only suffering an ambush, and the general trend of Sichuan has not changed, how can it be said that both sides are defeated, and there is no profit to be made?" ”
After bowing, Haoge was already in a very unhappy mood, Han Chaoxuan came to fight with him at this time, which made him very unhappy, he is not now to discuss whether his decision to fight Nanming was wrong, but to talk about what to do next?
After all, now that the Ming army has retreated to the south bank, the Jin army has almost no possibility of capturing Chongqing, and Sun Kewang is in the south of the whale swallowing Sichuan, snatching the fruits of his victory, he now continues to fight against the Ming army, so he really made a wedding dress for others, but if it is not right, the Ming army on the south bank may be killed back at any time, so that he is in a dilemma.
"Don't fight! The key now is how to deal with the aftermath, how to deal with the Ming army on the south bank, and how to deal with the problems in southern Sichuan! Haugwen said angrily, "I don't want to hear anything that has nothing to do with this!" ”
