Chapter 297: The drunkard's intention is not to drink

(Recommended reading: Tieling City, General Soldier's Mansion, Backyard Meeting Room.

Jin Taishi knelt in the center of the hall, his hands tied behind his back, and his expression was extremely serious, attracting people to look at him from afar, talk to each other, and whisper.

"What do you mean, Kimbellor?"

After Li Hongyu walked into the hall, he helped Jin Taishi up, beckoned Man Gui, who was following him, to untie Jin Taishi, comforted Jin Taishi and said, "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and this official is not the kind of unreasonable person, Baylor doesn't need to be like this." ”

"Lord Governor, it is a crime to be lowly in your office."

Hearing this, Jin Taishi's face suddenly turned ashamed, and he knelt down again, and said with shame, "Lord Governor has a clever plan, Nurhachi's two sons have indeed fled back to Hetuala, and they have committed a great crime by being lowly and let them go privately. ”

"What?" Li Hongyu pretended to be taken aback when he heard this, "Why did Baylor do this." ”

"Lord Governor, Huang Taiji is the son of his lowly sister, and he really can't attack him, so he let them go." Jin Taishi smiled bitterly and said with his head touching the ground, "I know that I have made a big mistake, so I am willing to accept any punishment from my lord!" ”

It turned out that according to Li Hongyu's order, Jin Taishi led a thousand Yehe soldiers to set up an ambush on the road from Tieling to Hetuala, and successfully intercepted Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, who were fleeing towards Hetuala, and the two of them together were only three or four hundred and eight banner cavalry.

Since the cavalry under Dai Shan and Huang Taiji had been exhausted in the Battle of Tieling, they were not Jintaishi's opponents at all, as long as Jin Taishi gave an order, the Yehe soldiers who were waiting for work would wipe out Dai Shan and Huang Taiji's men.

However, after all, Huang Taiji is Jin Taishi's own nephew, Jin Taishi can't kill Huang Taiji, after Huang Taiji's pleading, for the sake of his sister, he and Dai Shan finally let him and Dai Shan go.

Obviously, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to leave Dai Shan, otherwise even if he returns to Hetuala, he will be despised and criticized by the outside world.

"This official only knows that Buyangubel and Nurhachi have a grudge against their father, but they didn't expect Nurhachi to be your brother-in-law!"

After listening to Jin Taishi's explanation, Li Hongyu deliberately acted very surprised, and then after a deep groan, he helped Jin Taishi up, and said solemnly while untying the rope in his hand, "The responsibility for this matter lies with the official, if the official knows that Huang Taiji is your own nephew, he will never send you to set up an ambush, this kind of nephew and uncle cannibalism is not what the official wants to see." ”

"Thank you, Governor, for your kindness." When Jin Taishi heard this, he was suddenly moved in his heart, knowing that Li Hongyu did not mean to hold him accountable, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to thank him.

"Jin Belle, you have worked hard all the way, go back and rest, don't mention the ambush again, just Yongshan and Huang Taiji rushed out of your ambush."

Li Hongyu smiled and comforted, "This official has already made a statement to the imperial court, and you Yehe and Khalkha should take the lead in this battle of Tieling." ”

"Governor Xie."

Hearing this, Jin Taishi's hanging heart finally let go, bowed to Li Hongyu and left, what he was most worried about was that he would let go of Daishan and Huang Taiji and affect Ye Hebu, but from this point of view, his worries were superfluous, Li Hongyu was not the kind of person who fell into the well.

Looking at the back of Jin Taishi leaving, the corners of Li Hongyu's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, if Jin Taishi lied to him, then he would definitely take the opportunity to knock Jin Taishi.

However, since Jin Taishi honestly confessed everything to him, then he naturally had to be appeased, and Li Hongyu cared more about Jin Taishi's loyalty than letting go of Dai Shan and Huang Taiji.

In fact, how could Li Hongyu not know the relationship between Jin Taishi and Huang Taiji? The reason why he let Jin Taishi ambush was to let Huang Taiji go.

Huang Taiji was the second Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, and if he was killed or captured in the Battle of Tieling, it would certainly trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions, which may be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.

Nurhachi's favorite in his later years was the fourteenth son Dolgon, Dolgon's Wen Taowu was slightly more than Huang Taiji, once Huang Taiji had something, then no one would be able to balance Dolgon, and Dolgon would definitely ascend to the throne.

Moreover, if Huang Taiji died, Nurhachi would have to be more careful, so his reign would likely be extended, which would create strong conditions for the young Dolgon to inherit the throne.

Compared with Huang Taiji, Li Hongyu is more jealous of Dolgon, who is a few years younger than him, and the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and chased the deer was the decision made by Dolgon, and the Qianlong Emperor called it "the foundation of the country, the cause of unification, and the most outstanding achievement."

If it weren't for the fact that Dolgon was only fifteen years old when Nurhachi died, it would be difficult to win the Khan throne with Huang Taiji's background, after all, Huang Taiji's mother is Jin Taishi's own sister, and Yehebu and Jianzhou can be described as a pair of old enemies who never die.

In fact, Nurhachi's favorite heir before his death was his second son Dai Shan, who was not only the eldest among the sons, but also had great military achievements, holding two red banners and heavy soldiers, and had a pivotal position in the Houjin army at that time.

It's a pity that Dai Shan has some unclear relationship with Dolgon's mother, and he doesn't have a strong sense of fame and fortune, for the sake of selfishness, for the sake of the overall situation of Houjin, he chose to support Huang Taiji, who has been fighting side by side with him for many years, to inherit the throne, which makes Huang Taiji stand out.

Therefore, whether it is Huang Taiji or Dai Shan, Li Hongyu does not want to destroy them now, in that case, the development of the situation will become uncontrollable, and after losing the restraint of Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, it will inevitably push Dolgon to the throne of the Houjin Great Khan.

This is the matter of Jin Taishi going to set up an ambush, although Jin Taishi and Nurhachi are incompatible, but the relationship with Huang Taiji in private is good, otherwise Huang Taiji will not persuade him to surrender when Jin Taishi is in a desperate situation.

Therefore, Li Hongyu knew that Jin Taishi would definitely not kill Huang Taiji, and he would let Huang Taiji and Dai Shan go, so that Jin Taishi would have a handle in his hands, and his generosity would inevitably move Jin Taishi and work for it.

In addition, Li Hongyu not only demonstrated to Nurhachi through this incident, telling him that he could easily get rid of his two major beylers, but also to show goodwill and prepare for a future prisoner exchange.

Li Hongyu believes that with Nurhachi's IQ, he will not think that he did not know the relationship between Huang Taiji and Jin Taishi in advance, and it is obvious that Li Hongyu deliberately let Huang Taiji and Dai Shan go.

Soon after Jin Taishi left, Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu came to bid farewell to Li Hongyu, and they were to rush back to Yaque Pass to participate in Li Rubai's attack on Hetuala, and they were the main force of the Ming cavalry.

"Remember, you can't underestimate the enemy in this battle, everything must be based on firearms troops, and protecting firearms troops is your first priority."

Li Hongyu was a little uneasy, and solemnly told Li Zhong to show up at that time with firewood, lest the two of them be young and vigorous and compete for merit, and without the protection of the cavalry under the two of them, the situation of Li Rubai's artillery would be dangerous.

"Rest assured, my lordship, we must remember the teachings and put the task first." Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu bowed to Li Hongyu when they heard this, and replied with their fists clenched loudly.

Originally, Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu despised Li Hongyu, the young governor of Liaodong, but the battle of Tieling made the two of them look at Li Hongyu with admiration and convinc, this was the most brilliant victory of the Ming army in Liaodong, and the two admired Li Hongyu's use of troops.

In addition to Li Zhizhong and Chai Shixiu, Wu Gongqing, a guerrilla general from Tieling, also came to bid farewell to Li Hongyu and was responsible for escorting the first batch of Houjin prisoners to Shenyang City.

According to Li Hongyu's arrangement, the garrison of Tieling will change guards with the garrisons of Shenyang and other places, after all, the first battle of Tieling caused heavy casualties on the troops of the Ming army participating in the war, so of course Li Hongyu had to change guards.

The more than 7,000 prisoners of the Houjin Army who were captured were also to be taken to Shenyang and other places in batches for custody, and Li Hongyu particularly emphasized that those prisoners should be well placed and those prisoners must not be allowed to die.

Of course, Li Hongyu did this not only because of humanitarianism, but also because of the future prisoner exchange, one more Houjin prisoner can at least be exchanged for one more Ming prisoner.

In addition, Li Hongyu also wanted to establish a reputation for treating prisoners well in the Houjin army, after all, he and Houjin would have a battle sooner or later, and his reputation would invisibly break the fighting spirit and determination of the other party to resist.

Despite this, Li Hongyu did not blindly treat the Houjin army well, he also had his bottom line, and he would naturally not let go of the Houjin generals and soldiers who had the blood of innocent people on their hands, and prepared to publicly execute them in Shenyang City.

To Li Hongyu's regret, although the Battle of Tieling also captured some of the new annexed troops, the two major generals of the new annexed army, Li Yongfang and Liu Aita fled in the confusion and failed to capture them, otherwise the battle would have been perfect.

At the same time as the rotation of the garrison, Yu Chengming also intensively migrated the people in the Kaiyuan and Tieling areas, although the Kaiyuan City was in the hands of the Houjin army, but the Houjin army in the city was closed, for fear that the Ming army would attack the city, which made the Ming army calmly transfer the people in the Kaiyuan area.

Originally, according to the consistent practice of the Later Jin army, after capturing a place, the local people were plundered first.

However, Kaiyuan is an important military town in northern Liaoning, and Nurhachi will naturally not loot and leave if he wants to operate in Kaiyuan, otherwise there will be no one in the Kaiyuan area for the Houjin army to drive.

In addition, the fake governor of Liaodong led his army to Yaque Pass after the fall of Kaiyuan City, which attracted Nurhachi's attention, so Nurhachi did not plunder the people in the Kaiyuan area, but only sent people to various villages and towns to manage.

With the end of the Battle of Tieling, the Houjin officials sent to the villages and towns fled into Kaiyuan City, allowing the Ming army to take the local people away.
