Chapter Forty-Seven: The Siege of Shengjing (Four Thousand Mergers)
In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the military camp located outside Tongzhou City was slaughtered, and soldiers wearing shabby military jackets and carrying spears or knives slowly walked out of the camp gate.
A man in gold and silver armor silently watched his soldiers leave the camp, and then looked at the city surrounded by water in front of him.
This is Tongzhou on the eighth day of October, and the defenders at the head of the city opened their eyes and shouted angrily.
"It's that group of traitors from Guan Ningjun!" Whoever has raised his head will never cease the shouting and cursing of the city.
"This group of **** Liao people, our Ming Dynasty has transferred tens of millions of taels of gold and silver from Tongzhou over the years, and millions of stones of grain, in the end, all of them have been fed to the dogs, and the backhand will come to beat us Tongzhou!"
"With so much money and food, even feeding dogs is better than raising a pack of white-eyed wolves! The traitor under the city, my king can't kill you today, and if you go to hell in the future, you will have to sue you from the judge of life and death! ”
"The traitor ...... ****"
……
Rumble......
With a bang, a cannon burst open, and a group of men on the ground were shirtless, with slight panicked movements, charging a Hongyi cannon into the bullet and igniting it. At this moment, the ten-pound projectile flew over the city and smashed into Tongzhou City.
"Siege!" The man in the gold helmet and silver armor had a hoarse voice, revealing thousands of resentments.
With his order, drums slowly sounded on the fields that covered the mountains and almost obscured the vision outside the city. Subsequently, one by one, the generals came out of the ranks and led the generals of various ministries to issue orders.
At this time, the weather is still good, and you can see the situation within a radius of several miles. But standing on the wall of Tongzhou, look at it. But it can turn this good vision into a heavy burden.
Chen Xinjia, who was a scholar of the Dongge University and a scholar of the military department of the new home, stood on the city wall, looking at the densely packed Guanning army. A national scolding couldn't help but throw out: "The thief who entered your mother's army, this Wu Sangui." It's a hard job! ”
Annoyed to angry, Chen Xinjia still had to clean up his mood and shouted: "All departments are guarding the city gates, and the teams in charge of each city are checking the materials on hand to defend the city. The military law team took out the knife, inspected the four gates, and dared to break the escape, and there was no forgiveness for killing! ”
Compared with the anger in Tongzhou City, Wu Sangui in the city gradually calmed down.
Recently, rumors have begun to circulate in the Manchu army that Wu Sangui has exposed confidential military information, so that the Ming people have worked so hard, which really makes his life a little sad.
This time. Dolgon sent Wu Sangui to the appointment of attacking Tongzhou City, which immediately forced Wu Sangui to use his life.
He carefully looked at the city, which was vital in the Gyeonggi defense line, and his thoughts gradually became clear. The Ming Jingshi is located in the land of Youyan, and the annual consumption of grain, rice, cotton, linen, silk and silk is a terrifying astronomical amount. And these consumption all depend on Tongzhou, which is not far east of Jingshi. Here, it is the northern terminus of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which transports huge supplies every year and supplies the daily needs of millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing.
Cutting off Tongzhou means cutting off the supply of the Beijing division to the outside world. Let the Jingshi fall into a tragic war of attrition. So as to win the strategic initiative and advantage.
But this was not enough for Wu Sangui'er, who understood what Dolgon expected of him.
Blocking the supply of Tongzhou to Jingshi is only a basic skill, and if it is not completed, the Guanning army will lose the value of a thug.
Wu Sangui was given the order to attack Tongzhou. Obtain a large amount of materials in the city to feed the war, and completely crush the hope of the Ming Kingdom to hold on for a long time.
That's right, Dolgon's mission is just as clear.
constantly coerced the Ming Jingshi to force Zhu Cihong to come back to help. Then wait for the labor and attack the tired army that has returned thousands of miles with fresh troops.
If Zhu Cihong did not comply, Dolgon was also fully prepared to break through the Beijing division and achieve a grand event that had not been seen in a hundred years by the Tartars in the past dynasties.
Even. There was also a faint thought rising in Dorgon's mind.
"He can take his place......" Dolgon looked at the towering city wall and the gate on the Chongwen Gate of Jingshi, and looked at the enlarged city gate. Imagine the crowds coming and going, rubbing shoulders here, and read softly.
"Order Wu Sangui, from now on, I will make Tongzhou City and Jingshi no one, and rice must not be imported from outside the city!" Dolgon said, turned his horse's head, looked at the 180,000 army standing like a forest behind him, and laughed loudly: "With such a strong army in hand, where can I not get this Ming country?" ”
After that, Dolgon looked at Jingshi again, and there was only a feeling of eating at any time in his eyes, as if it was not the capital of Jingshi in front of him, but a big meal that could be enjoyed at any time.
"Daqing Erlang, let's take action. From today onwards, I want to let the Ming Jingshi City understand that among them, there is only one Zhu Cihong who can resist our Ming strong army a little. And now, their last hope has abandoned them. Their last hope is also shattered, and Zhu Cihong will be buried by me in the wilderness of Liaodong! ”
Dolgon looked at the Manchu civil generals behind him, and his momentum was high: "I want to let fear breed among the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom, let meanness become the creed of the Ming officials, and let fear be engraved forever in the backbone of this Han country!" Brave and powerful Qing soldiers, take action! ”
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
……
The crowd shouted in unison, and the earth-shattering sound mixed with the occasional laughter of Dorgon spread through the fields outside the city.
Inside the castle.
On the Jinluan Palace, the Great Dynasty Meeting was held again. Zhu Youzhen was silent, he looked at the almost out of control of the Great Court Meeting, and the information that Jinyiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to wear back came to his mind. There, one by one, there are rumors spread in the Jingshi.
"Did you hear that, this is spreading everywhere, and we also have strong soldiers in Daming! There are also strong soldiers who can fight Tartars, kill Jiannu, and establish my Ming majesty! ”
"yes, but you can't hear half of it? This strong soldier is not in the Jingshi, nor in Gyeonggi, nor in my Daming Domain. He was trapped in the lost territory of Liaodong and was deeply surrounded by heavy rain. Far away for thousands of miles, far water can't quench your thirst! ”
"In this way, is this Jingshi really hopeless? Everyone, all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, can't think of a way? ”
"What else can be done, just point to Chen Yongfu's ministry can really be as good as the legend, like the pillar of optimus. Let's hold this Jingshi up......"
"Shh......h Here it ......."
It was Chen Yongfu who came, dressed in armor. Chen Yongfu, who has a tired face, has arranged defense these days, and has shouldered the safety of millions of soldiers and civilians in Beijing.
Meet Chen Yongfu. Emperor Chongzhen, who had not spoken for a long time, flashed his eyes and said, "Chen Qing, Tongzhou is besieged." Jingshi is also besieged, give a word of approval. This Da Ming, whether you can keep it or not, my good prince, how can I tell you? ”
Chen Yongfu took a deep breath gently, looked at the people who were looking left and right, and said in a deep voice: "Hold on!" His Royal Highness sent a message to the last general: Hold the capital for one month. Also the Ming Dynasty 100 years of victory! ”
……
In the white tower shop, Lao Amba pinched a dried leaf, learned from the cow in the shop, Zhang Jingaixin rolled it up, and then circled around it, gathered into the bonfire, lit it and put it in his mouth, squinted his eyes and inhaled a breath, after a while of choking, the old Amba who was frowning and squinting finally showed a little bit of enjoyment.
His side. The spring who followed the guard looked at Old Amba with a look of curiosity and puzzlement.
"Tut-tut, it's better to be young. The body of a calf, the courage of a calf. And the big watery eyes of the calf. Even if we don't hold a knife, we can let the Han girl in Zhangjing's yard peel herself into a little white sheep, hahaha. Old Amba laughed. It was extremely joyful, but something suddenly occurred to me. Suddenly, his thoughts paused again: "It's a pity ......"
"Old Amba, what is the pity?" The joking Sheri Izumi quickly walked out of his shyness.
"It's a pity...... The Han people are coming. Soldiers of the Ming Kingdom. Here it comes. Old Amba's eyes suddenly became very complicated: "Originally, it wasn't like this. ”
Sheriquan was even more puzzled: "Old Amba, what do you mean not like this?" What's that like? ”
Old Amba showed a nostalgic look in his eyes, thinking about it, and recalling: "Before the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom came, there were so many gold and silver women in the city of the Han people, all of which could be looted by our Manchurian warriors. But the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom are coming...... The gold and silver can still be snatched back, but so many delicate women have been ruined by that group of rough embryos. ”
"So those Han people who survived, but few escaped. An An followed the farming in parts, and when he met a kind-hearted person who didn't kill, he didn't even leave in a hurry. But then, all of a sudden, it changed. In this world, such a kind of soldier ...... suddenly appeared" Old Amba shook his head, a little depressed: "When we were in Shandong, I thought that when we met the prince's soldiers, there would be only a few odd numbers that would rather die than retreat." I didn't expect to fight a few times, but I really saw most of the real men who dared to die and were willing to go to the fire. For the sake of a group of people, the real man who stopped the soldiers who didn't let me rob the women of the Qing Dynasty! ”
"What about us...... I can't grab the woman. Sheriquan said dejectedly.
"And that's not all...... Sheri Springs, come with me. Old Ambar straightened up, and suddenly walked to the stables in a hurry.
The two turned over and got on their horses, and saw the scene outside the shop in a confused face.
"They're still here to ask for their lives...... Suo has been robbed by massage women for decades...... Killed...... Human life is in debt. Old Amba said, and suddenly felt his hands tremble a little.
Beside him, the little Tartar was nervous and excited, and the legends of killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions came out of his mind, as if he had a premonition that Ronghua and wealth were beckoning to him, and then subconsciously said: "Old Amba, what should we do?" ”
"What...... What to do? Old Amba swallowed his spit, suddenly turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly, and said, "Run!" ”
……
Ten miles north of Baitapu is Shengjing City.
On October 10 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the torrential rain that had accumulated for six or seven days intermittently finally stopped. Although the clouds were still heavy, the city immediately radiated with infinite life. Countless people turned out the wet covered shops to dry in the heavy rain, and everyone looked up at the sky that they hadn't seen for a long time and smiled.
There is no exception in the city, and the same is true of the guards at the East Gate Sheri Spring. Looking at the calm scene, he couldn't help but think of the contrast ten days ago: "It is said that the Zhenghuang Banner defeated the soldiers." Why can the army of the Ming Kingdom hit Shengjing? Hmph, but I don't want to think about it. How capable is Zhenghuang Banner, how could it be defeated by the Han people? ”
"Didn't it come out some time ago, and the court also issued an edict, which was made by a few small works. But ah, now the yellow flags are nested in the barracks, who knows if it's true or not? After all, it's been ten days, and there is not a single warning message. Eighty percent of this is true and false......"
"That is, what kind of strong soldiers have the ability to fly over and fight in the capital of my Qing Dynasty? This ability is also what my Majesty of the Qing Dynasty can do. The first emperor conquered Korea in the east and Mongolia in the west, and the strong soldiers under his command were the ones who could really hit the enemy's capital. As for those waste firewood in the Ming Kingdom, who believes it? ”
"Haha...... "In the doorway, everyone is laughing."
"Look, who's that?" Suddenly, a gatekeeper looked at Dongcheng and was slightly strange: "It's familiar, isn't that old Amba?" ”
"It's like, why are they here?" A few goalkeepers got together, and then quickly realized that something was wrong: "Why are you running so fast?" Wait......"
"Isn't Old Amba the guards of the White Tower? Why did you suddenly get here? Look, wolf smoke rises from Samkeipo in the east! One screamed loudly.
At this time, Lao Amba ran faster and faster, galloped his horse, and soon rushed to the near gate, and when he saw someone, he immediately opened his throat and shouted: "The Ming army is coming, the Ming army is coming!" I have an urgent military situation, don't get in the way! ”
Several of the guards retreated, then stared at each other blankly.
One sentence rang out almost in unison: "Zhenghuang Flag...... Really defeated......"
On the muddy ground, the sound of horses' hooves gradually raised countless muddy water. On the arms of the soldiers at the front, the vermilion-bottomed sun and moon coat of arms, which was worth one tael of silver and carefully woven by the needlewoman for two hours, was splashed with muddy water, and only the shape could barely be seen. After the Jinling Army workshop, the workers spent 17 processes to create a skirt worth 20 taels, and the inside and outside of the armor were also stained with dots of mud, grass and bloodstains. Each set is not less than one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and the armor made of it is no longer as powerful as it once was.
The knights with red tasseled helmets on their heads have become mud monkeys at this moment. The knights, who were once proud and straight-chested, gradually became sloppy. Postures were varied, and fatigue was all over the army, but not a single person here dragged on in the slightest.
No one has a reason to give up.
Because, Zhu Cihong let his thighs grind into blood stains at this moment, and still kept breathing. Except for less than two hours of sleep and Lazar every day, Zhu Cihong is at the forefront of everyone. When he was hungry, he nibbled on the cake, and when he was thirsty, he swallowed the unbearable smell of mare's milk. Even if the horse was tired, Zhu Cihong just silently changed a horse and continued to move forward.
On October 10 of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, on the small hillside three miles outside the southeast of Shenyang City, a sun and moon dragon flag was raised high, and Zhu Cihong rode his horse to stand on the hillside and finally stopped, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, in the sky, the heavy dark clouds were slowly separated by the sunlight, sprinkled on the world, and shone on Zhu Cihong's body, shining brightly.
"Warriors of the Ming Dynasty! Here we come, we come for revenge! Thousands of innocent souls, the warriors of the Ming Dynasty have come to avenge you! Zhu Cihong made a loud voice, which made Li Dingguo beside him suddenly feel warm in his eyes and burst into tears. (To be continued.) )
