Chapter 627: To the North
Cheng Xiaolian took a day to conquer Daizhou, if it was in peacetime, this city would not be able to be captured without ten days and a half months, but this was the time when the beacon was in flames, the elite troops were sent to the front line and the frontier, and the rest were just old and weak soldiers who could barely maintain law and order.
Most of these people have never seen blood, and the few who have seen blood have been left with a disability, either missing an arm or a leg, and it is still possible to scare the countryside into a splash, and if there is a war, it will never be possible.
Moreover, when Cai Yurong led the Eight Banners to fight, he gathered the troops of Shanxi again, and the people of Daizhou were pulled out again, and at that time, no one would have thought that Daizhou would be beaten under the city wall.
Even Meng Ke, who had the most courage in Daizhou, began to be afraid: "Your Highness, we should withdraw, if we don't withdraw, we won't be able to run, Tuhai will not be indifferent, and the Jingshi side has to pretend." ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Don't worry, no matter how anxious the emperor of Jingshi is, those civil and military forces under him will definitely not agree to let the army take a step forward in Gyeonggi immediately, and it will not be for the peace of the imperial court, but counting the days, Tu Hai should almost get the news, even if he is deep in qi cultivation, he should be in a hurry at this time." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Cheng'an: "Mr. Chen, is what I said wrong?" ”
Chen Chengan said angrily: "I think even if we don't die for a lifetime, it's not too far away, not counting the eight thousand cavalry behind us, even if the Gyeonggi Heavy Land will not send the most elite men and horses, it will definitely send people to walk around, we are not so easy to get out." ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "You're right, but we still have to stay here for ten days, I have to make sure that Tuhai starts to move, otherwise our operation will be in vain." ”
Chen Chengan slapped his forehead: "God, my fate is explained here." Even if we can deal with the cavalry behind us now, we will definitely lose our troops, not to mention that it is the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "The new cavalry is not the Manchu iron cavalry that fought the world at the beginning. ”
"Even if it's a good family, it's a bloodline inheritance, Your Highness, do you really want to defeat them with our people?"
"The people in Daizhou City can't defend the city, it doesn't mean that we won't defend the city, I want to see how those 8,000 cavalry attack the city!"
Chen Chengan clenched his hair: "My Royal Highness, why do people want to attack the city, the purpose of people coming is not to let you set foot on the land of Gyeonggi, if you stick to Daizhou, people don't know how happy they are, as long as it takes a month or two to wait for reinforcements, we don't have to be captured." ”
Cheng Xiaolian's eyes lit up: "You're right, they are most afraid that we will set foot in the land of Gyeonggi, so let's go to the land of Gyeonggi for a walk!" ”
Meng Ke was drinking water, almost choked on himself, and sprayed the water on the ground: "Your Highness, I originally thought that I was the most courageous person in our army, but I didn't expect you to be much bolder than me, stepping into the land of Gyeonggi?" We don't even have enough to stuff people's teeth! ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "Of course we are not stuffing people's teeth, we are going to break teeth, you can rest assured, all the generals who can fight in the Beijing division have been sent out to fight, and besides, the grassland to the north of the Beijing division is the grassland, and when the time comes, we will plunge into the grassland, and Tuhai can still lead the army to chase us?" In that way, Yuan Zonghao would be able to lead the army directly to Shanxi and threaten the Jingshi. ”
Chen Chengan raised his head suddenly: "But have you thought about it, Your Highness?" If you die, everything will be in vain, what will go straight to Shanxi, what will threaten Jingshi, who will do this? Will General Yuan be able to suppress everyone? ”
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Take advantage of this moment to retreat to the grassland immediately!" The surrounding generals said in unison.
Cheng Xiaolian stared at them: "Can we hold on for another three days?" ”
Chen Chengan smiled bitterly: "You are Your Highness, don't say it's three days, it's ten days, and we're willing to follow you." ”
"You're right, we can't stick to Daizhou, let's go around and take a turn, the bigger the momentum, the better! We just don't hurt the people, but it's no problem to kill those who were officials for the Manchu Dynasty, even if they are good officials, they can only be sorry, if we want to make a bigger noise, we can't help but kill! ”
Everyone made a decision, and the next day they rested for half a day, and immediately rushed to the surrounding prefectures and counties, and immediately cut off the heads of the prefect and the prefect and the prefect and hung them on the city gate everywhere, and then roared away, and three days later, everyone east of Daizhou was already in danger.
The danger spread to the Beijing Division, Kangxi heard the news and immediately said that he wanted to drive the expedition in person, but as Cheng Xiaolian expected, the civil and military forces in the court tried their best to block it, saying that the emperor must stabilize the morale of the army in the Beijing Division, otherwise even if he dealt with the former Ming rebels, what if Wu Sangui's rebel side got up?
Although Kangxi is the king of a country, he has not been able to beat the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in this kind of matter, especially when they sent three representatives to give a death advice.
In the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu left a will, and the scholars died to admonish, and the admonished person must be dismissed. Although there is no such rule now, the imperial court still attaches great importance to this matter.
The three dead admonishers are also righteous and awe-inspiring, these are all bachelors of the Hanlin Academy, they are very straightforward in their readings, and they want to leave a name in history, where can they take care of other things.
Of course, Kangxi had to be generous to these three people in the court, and even admitted his mistake and softened to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but when he returned to the harem, he smashed two cups.
"The Manchu Dynasty is too much of a civil and military bully!" He didn't know that although there were people in the Manchu Dynasty who were not afraid of death, most of them were afraid of death, if he drove the expedition in person, once he failed, the Beijing division was shaken, and the lives of these people could not be saved, as long as they stayed here, no matter what, it was impossible for the thieves to break the Beijing division, and the troops of the king of Qin from all over the country could also rush back quickly.
But what makes him happy is that Tuhai is not afraid of death after all, only sent 8,000 cavalry back to rescue, and the rest of the people are still storming Tongguan, as long as Tuhai takes Shaanxi, Gansu will immediately be in the bag, and then see how Qianming jumps with a Sichuan.
But Kangxi's unforgettable Tuhai had already rushed to Taiyuan Mansion at this time, and heard that the cavalry of the former Ming Dynasty was killing near Daizhou, and immediately ordered to speed up the march.
At this time, Cheng Xiaolian and the others also completed the third day of fighting, and Meng Ke glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, it's almost over, it's time for us to retreat." The Manchu cavalry is less than 200 miles away from us. ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded and waved his hand: "To the north!" ”
