On the evening of the same day, he personally sent Zu Dashou out of the camp, and in order to make a full set of plays, he also personally helped Zu Dashou to get on the horse.

followed Zu Dashou, as well as his righteous son Zu Zeyuan and a total of 26 people, Huang Taiji in order to keep Zu Dashou from being suspected by the Ming Dynasty government, but also specially arranged chasing soldiers to create the illusion that Zu Dashou broke through.

Of course, Huang Taiji was also wary of Zu Dashou, in order to prevent Zu Dashou from breaking the contract and deceiving him, Huang Taiji also specially left Zu Dashou's biological son and all his nephews in Houjin as hostages.

Qiu Hejia, the governor of Jinzhou City, and Wu Xiang, the chief soldier, faintly heard the rumbling sound of artillery fire from the Daling River, and they believed that this must be Zu Dashou breaking through.

After all, Zu Dashou was the pillar of their Guanning army, and he had huge prestige and connections in the army, and Jinzhou immediately sent troops out of the city to reinforce him.

Originally, it was just a rescue army, but in the middle of the march, there was still a long way to go from the Daling River, and he actually met Zu Dashou.

Naturally, everyone was happy at this time, the reinforcements didn't need to work hard, and they also got the military merit of rescuing Zu Dashou.

As for Zu Dashou, he actually returned to Jinzhou City unharmed and continued to be his chief military officer.

Zu Dashou never returned to Houjin, as if he had forgotten everything he had done at the beginning, and chose to remain loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

On the third day after Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou, he may have struggled a lot, but in the end, he still couldn't rest assured that he was a hostage to Huang Taiji's relatives, so he sent someone to send a letter to Huang Taiji and did a "show".

Zu Dashou said, "There are many soldiers in Jinzhou, and they will calmly plan it." The generals have bribed their families and have submerged people to support them. There will be a period later, and if there is a sincere word, it will not hurt to send someone here. ”

Huang Taiji is also an informed and interesting person, and he should "put on a show" with Zu Dashou, and he sent someone to respond to Zu Dashou's letter, so that Zu Dashou should not forget the agreement.

Zu Dashou replied again, "The matter of the appointment, common sense in the heart, because of the suspicion of the public, it is difficult to move suddenly, I hope that the king of the Khan will be compassionate and obedient to the soldiers, and raise them well, and the people will obey them, and the big thing will be accomplished." To my sons and nephews, I look forward to it. ”

In fact, Huang Taiji was prepared for Zu Dashou to go and not return, not to mention the act of leaving hostages, but to say that some time after Zu Dashou left, Huang Taiji said to Zhong Beile, which can clearly show Huang Taiji's intentions.

"Instead of staying in our country, it is better to enter Jinzhou, make it dedicate the city, and serve me; Even if he rebelled and did not come, it was not unexpectedly sent by mistake. If he does not indulge in it, if the country is not allowed to defend Jinzhou, it will be difficult to do anything. Today, even if he is still a big man, he will bring his sons, nephews and soldiers to return, and he will be generously raised, and then try to forge ahead, which will be beneficial. ”

From this passage, it can be seen that Huang Taiji let the ancestor go back to his birthday, which has a deeper consideration. Through this act, he collected the hearts of all the generals in order to attract more Ming generals to submit.

In fact, if there was no Chen Xin's huge variable, Huang Taiji's purpose was really achieved, ten years later, Huang Taiji besieged Jinzhou again, Zu Dashou was forced to surrender when the food was exhausted, and Huang Taiji forgave him again.

After Huang Taiji and Zu Dashou sang and did a show, Zu Dashou understood that Huang Taiji would not attack his children and nephews, so he continued to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind.

Huang Taiji also completely squeezed out the value of Zu Dashou's "horse bone", and made an example for other Ming generals, showing his Huang Taiji's humble attitude of recruiting talents.

Of course, in this battle of Dalinghe, Huang Taiji and Houjin's gains were far more than that.

First of all, the reality that the soldiers in Dalinghe City would rather die than surrender greatly shocked the slave owners of Houjin, so that they could see the evil consequences of the massacre of the common people, and have a further understanding of military discipline.

Of course, dogs can't change eating, and the military discipline of the Houjin has never really been corrected in general, and in the later period of Huang Taiji, the small and medium-sized massacres of the Houjin army are still repeatedly prohibited, and later, after Dolgon came to power, the Houjin returned to the barbaric nature of large-scale massacres to intimidate the enemy.

Secondly, the performance of the soldiers of the Ming army in Dalinghe City, especially the performance of Zhang Chun and He Kegang of the Ming Prison Army, also shocked the Later Jin Junchen from another angle.

Huang Taiji believes that the reason why many generals of the Ming Dynasty were able to die unyielding was because they knew how to be knowledgeable and courteous, and knew how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country.

It was in this battle that Huang Taiji further saw the role of reading. In the days that followed, he said to the ministers of Baylor: In the past, our generals slaughtered the city because they did not know how to read and do not understand the principles of governing the country. And we besieged the Daling River for nearly three months, and the Ming army starved to death and did not surrender, and swore to be loyal to the imperial court, which is the result of their study and Ming ceremony. From now on, all children over the age of eight and under the age of fifteen must read, and the officials of the Wenguan will be responsible for translating the Han classics.

From then on, Huang Taiji no longer forbade the Jurchens to read Han books and speak Chinese, and in the Later Jin Dynasty, he also began an ideological transformation to accept the advanced culture of the Han people.

Again, in this campaign, for the first time, the Later Jin army used the red-coated cannons made by the Han craftsmen they had looted.

This was a major historical leap forward and epoch-making significance, and since then, the Later Jin army has entered the advanced ranks at that time in terms of weapons and equipment, which played an important role in the future campaign to unify the Central Plains.

At the same time, more than 70 generals of the Ming army were captured in this campaign, many of whom were high-ranking generals.

This policy achieved a good response, because these high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty entered the ruling class, changed the political structure of the Later Jin regime, increased the voice of the Han people, and allowed the Han culture to further spread imperceptibly in the Later Jin State.

Of course, in addition to achieving a lot of political capital, this campaign also destroyed one of the most effective armies of the Ming Dynasty outside the pass, the so-called "Guanning Iron Cavalry", and the elite of the Ming army outside the pass no longer existed.

When the Houjin army entered the city to receive the count of the number of people counted in Dalinghe City, there were still 11,682 people and 32 horses in the city, and more than 10,000 people were absorbed, which strengthened the strength of the Houjin army.

In addition to these benefits that can be openly spoken, Huang Taiji also has an equally significant, unspeakable windfall, Mang Gurtai's Imperial Front Exposed Blade Incident, which led to Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, two people who can be on an equal footing with Huang Taiji, were moved down at the same time, Huang Taiji After more than five years of suffering and waiting, Huang Taiji finally achieved the supremacy of the south and grasped all the power of Houjin.

Of course, these are just Chen Xin's memories of later history, and with the flapping of butterfly wings, these are likely to become "conjectures" that only Chen Xin knows.

At this time, Chen Xin had also received information that Houjin was pulling out the camp and cleaning up the various fortifications on the old site of Dalinghe City.

"Houjin, what is the purpose of this time? Is it a refund? Or enter? ”

"According to all the available information, many staff officers in the war room have made calculations, believing that it is very likely that the Houjin Army will take advantage of the lack of logistics to solve our [lone army]."

"Hahaha, this joke isn't funny at all."

"It's true, according to the intelligence report received by the intelligence department, the Houjin side believes that they have an absolute advantage in strength, and they have an absolute chance of winning in the face of our [lone army]."

Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone in the military tent was speechless, what is this? Assertive? Or arrogance?

"However, the enemy is willing to take the initiative to come, and it just saves us a lot of things, and we have to move forward in the province, and our artillery is too heavy."

"Since Houjin took the initiative to come to die, then, everyone, get ready, greet the guests, it is best to take this wave of guests away."

The crowd burst into laughter.
