Chapter 339 Civil strife in Shengjing and suppression of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty
All in all, the Qing Dynasty had been besieged in Shengjing City for three months. Although they had broken out during the period when the Inner Mongolia Camp and the Outer Firearms Camp were not around, they were quickly pushed into the city again.
Three months later, problems naturally arose. There was a shortage of food and supplies in the city, and some people became riotous, and even some officers and soldiers became riotous.
But this is not the main problem. The main problem is that the evil-minded Khan Yinzhu of the Hou Jin Dynasty really does not want to be trapped in Shengjing. He also really wants to move the Shui family to Changbai Mountain so that he can seize property and beautiful women, etc...
In recent days, Yin Zhu has had arguments with Shuizhen almost every day.
The Qing Dynasty now only has a total of 42,000 troops left, of which 12,000 are Hou Jin soldiers, all of whom are elite soldiers and strong generals, and 30,000 are officers and soldiers under the Shuizhen banner, and among these 30,000 officers and soldiers, one
Wandu were civilian soldiers temporarily recruited forcibly.
Obviously, the 12,000 Hou Jin soldiers were very important to the Qing Dynasty. If this Hou Jin army were suddenly eliminated, it would not be difficult for the Qing army to capture Shengjing City.
Because of this, even though Shuizhen noticed Yin Zhu's rebellious intentions, he still did not kill Yin Zhu, but kept enduring and persuading and comforting him.
Jia Yun had to admit that the Qing Dynasty's endurance exceeded his expectations. It has not surrendered yet, nor has it fled to Changbai Mountain.
Jia Yun knew that the Qing Dynasty still held out hope of reversal, and this hope should be pinned on the Ming Dynasty, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would destroy the Qing Dynasty or severely damage the Qing Dynasty.
Jia Yun knew that in Shuizhen, as long as the Ming Dynasty could severely damage the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty would withdraw many of the troops besieging Shenjing City. In this way, the Qing Dynasty would be able to launch a desperate counterattack.
As the saying goes, "killing people and destroying the heart", what Jia Yun wants to do now is to destroy the hope of the Qing Dynasty.
So, on June 27, when Jia Yun learned the news about the great victory in Shanxi's Zhili demarcation in the morning, she immediately sent a messenger and rushed to deliver the news to Shengjing City and to Pingbei General Zhan Chang.
, and issued an imperial order to Zhan Chang...
On June 30th, under the arrangement of Zhan Chang, the archers of the Qing Dynasty army once again fired a wave of surrender letters towards Shengjing City.
This time the letter of persuasion to surrender was written by Jia Yun himself, and the content was similar to the previous letter of persuasion to surrender. The special thing was that this time it added the news of the great victory in the demarcation of Shanxi to Zhili. Jia Yun therefore asked Shuizhen to give up his opposition to the Ming Dynasty.
Hope.
This surrender letter caused the Qing Dynasty, which was already in civil strife, to become more chaotic. Yin Zhu had another dispute with Shuizhen...
Shuizhen said to Yin Zhu in Manchu: "I have told you several times that the news in today's surrender letter is not credible. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be suppressed by the Qing Dynasty so quickly, even if the Qing Dynasty is really following
The Ming Dynasty won one battle in the war, and it should have little impact on the entire war situation."
"I believe that if the Ming Dynasty can break through to the border between Shanxi and Zhili so quickly, it will not take long to attack the Shenjing City. If the Ming Dynasty captures the Shenjing City, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed. Even if the Ming Dynasty cannot attack the Shenjing City in the short term, the Qing Dynasty will
The army that surrounded Shengjing will definitely be withdrawn to resist the Ming army. At that time, our Qing country will be able to reverse the situation of the war."
"As long as you lead the Jin army and continue to follow me, I will have the confidence to conquer the Qing Dynasty and even destroy the Ming Dynasty. After I am done, I will fulfill my promise and give you the entire Northeast including Shengjing.
You are here to build a greater nation."
Hearing this, Yin Zhu said: "I have heard too many words of persuasion from you these days, and I am tired of hearing them. I don't think the surrender letter from Qing Dynasty today is false. After all, it is Qing Dynasty today."
It was written by the emperor himself. How could the emperor, who was celebrating his dynasty with great dignity, commit fraud in the letter of persuasion to surrender?"
"Even if the content in the surrender letter is true, I don't think the Ming Dynasty's rebellion can succeed. After all, with the help of our Houjin, your rebellion has not succeeded. The Qing Dynasty is very powerful, and the current emperor is that
The Sixth Prince, although this person is extremely hateful and hateful, I have to admit that he is a brave emperor, and it was under his command that the Qing Dynasty army forced us to where we are now."
"Recently, there has been chaos in Shengjing City. Not only the people are in chaos, but also the Qing court and the army. It is too late to retreat to Changbai Mountain. If we delay the matter any longer, it will be too late. When there is chaos in Shengjing City, the Qing Dynasty army will definitely come.
Take the opportunity to attack and both you and I will be finished!"
"I don't want to stay here and wait for death with you, and I can't let my Houjin warriors wait for death with you. Our Houjin helped you found the country and rebelled. Many warriors have died. If the remaining ones are
Tens of thousands of warriors have also died, and then we, Houjin, are doomed!"
"What you should do now is to retreat to Changbai Mountain with me. Our army together has more than 40,000 troops. Even if we are chased by the Qing Dynasty army and suffer 10,000 or 20,000 casualties, with the remaining troops, we can still
Can stop the Qing Dynasty army at Changbai Mountain."
"We can wait with peace of mind in Changbai Mountain for news of the battle between Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. If Ming Dynasty really destroys Qing Dynasty or severely damages Qing Dynasty, we can fight back again. If Ming Dynasty is destroyed by Qing Dynasty, we can also wait in Changbai Mountain
If it develops and grows, there will be a chance to destroy the Qing Dynasty in the future."
Shuizhen became silent after hearing this. He thought that what Yin Zhu said was reasonable. Now he also wanted to retreat to Changbai Mountain, but Yin Zhu had rebellious intentions...
After being silent for a long time, Shuizhen stared at Yinzhu and said, "Forget it, we can retreat to Changbai Mountain, but there is one condition you must agree to."
Yin Zhu suddenly felt happy and asked: "What are the conditions?"
Shuizhen said: "Our Qing Kingdom retreated to Changbai Mountain. You still respect me as the emperor. You are still the prince of our Qing Kingdom. Changbai Mountain has become the territory of our Qing Kingdom!"
Yin Zhu: “…”
According to the agreement reached by the two, although Hou Jin surrendered to the Shui family and established the Qing Dynasty with the Shui family, Hou Jin's original land in Changbai Mountain was still under the control of Hou Jin, and now Shuizhen means to transfer this land to the Shui family.
The land of Houjin has become the territory of Qing Dynasty, and this hometown of Houjin must be turned into the territory of Qing Dynasty...
Not to mention that Yin Zhu had already turned against him and had evil intentions. Even if he had not turned against him, he would not have agreed to this condition.
However, after thinking for a while, Yin Zhu nodded: "I agree to your condition!"
Shuizhen said "haha" in his heart. Yinzhu's reaction made him more sure of Yinzhu's rebellious intention and that Yinzhu wanted to destroy the Shui family in Changbai Mountain and plunder the Qing Dynasty's property, beauties, etc.
Shuizhen also thought about it for a while, and then said: "In that case, our Qing country will retreat to Changbai Mountain!"
Immediately afterwards, Shuizhen and Yinzhu discussed some related matters.
After the discussion, Yin Zhu left, and Shui Rong, who had been standing in the hall, said: "Father, you..."
Shuizhen interrupted: "At this point, we must either surrender to the Qing Dynasty, or we can only retreat to Changbai Mountain first."
Shui Zhen waved to Shui Rong, Shui Rong put his ear forward knowingly, and Shui Zhen quietly told him his plan.
The plan is to still keep Yin Zhu first, let the Hou Jin army led by Yi Zhu to assist in the escape, and when they approach Changbai Mountain, let the secret agents arranged by the Shui family around Yi Zhu kill Yin Zhu. After Yin Zhu dies, Hou Jin
The soldiers' morale was unstable. Even if they wanted to retaliate against Shuizhen, it would not be difficult for Shuizhen to resist. Then Shuizhen fled into Changbai Mountain...
…
…
When the Qing Dynasty retreated from Shengjing City, they did not just leave immediately. There were many preparations. For example, Shuizhen wanted to take away a large amount of the Qing Kingdom's property and many of the Qing Kingdom's beauties...
Three days later, in the early morning of the fourth day of July, at dawn, after a hysterical looting, Shuizhen led his 30,000 troops and brought a large amount of property, men and women, with 10,000 men and women led by Yin Zhu.
Two thousand later Jin soldiers poured out of the gate of Shengjing City...
The Shengjing City left by the Qing Dynasty can be said to be an empty city. Almost all the money in the entire city was taken away. Although many people were left behind, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were no beautiful women.
One can imagine how viciously this city has been looted in the past three days!
Although Jia Yun is ruthless, he is not vicious. He has his own bottom line. Relatively speaking, Shuizhen this time is indeed vicious, and can even be said to be extremely cruel and unconscionable.
Although it was early in the morning, under Zhan Chang's layout, the Qing Dynasty army did not relax the siege of Shengjing City, and the distribution of troops was similar to that during the day.
Therefore, when the Qing troops poured out of the city gate of Shengjing City, they were immediately blocked by the Qing Dynasty's troops. After a fierce battle, the Qing troops broke out of the encirclement, and the 80,000 Qing Dynasty troops launched a pursuit...
What's funny is that Shuizhen's insidiousness and greed caused him a lot of trouble. Faced with the pursuit of 80,000 Qing Dynasty troops, it was very difficult for the Qing troops to escape, but Shuizhen still brought a large amount of property and
There were a large number of people, including many women, which made it even more difficult for the Qing troops to escape.
In addition, in order to preserve the troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty, Yin Zhu, who had evil intentions, so that he could destroy the Shui family and defend Changbai Mountain. When escaping, the 12,000 troops of the Hou Jin Dynasty did not work very hard, which also made it more difficult for the Qing troops to escape.
.
kill!
As the Qing Dynasty's army pursued them, the Qing Dynasty suffered casualties at a terrifying speed, and was forced to leave behind some items and people, including the families of the soldiers. As a result, Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers continued to escape from the battle...
By noon that day, in just a few hours, only 20,000 of the 30,000 troops under Shuizhen's banner were left, while the Houjin soldiers under Yinzhu's banner suffered 2,000 casualties, and there were still 10,000 left.
Shuizhen was very depressed, not only depressed about the heavy losses of his troops, but also depressed about Yin Zhu's insidiousness.
Now there are only 20,000 soldiers left under Shuizhen's banner, while there are 10,000 Houjin soldiers under Yinzhu's banner. If the two armies fight, Shuizhen will not even have the confidence to defeat the other side.
But we can't let the spies kill Yin Zhu right now, because the Qing Dynasty army is chasing after him. If he kills Yin Zhu at this time, once the Hou Jin army starts making trouble, the Shui family will not be able to escape.
In desperation, Shuizhen could only persuade Yin Zhu to stop slacking off, otherwise everyone would be finished together...
Yin Zhu agreed, not because he obeyed Shuizhen's orders, but because he realized that if Jin Bing continued to slack off like this, everyone would really die together. The top priority was to work together to escape to Changbai Mountain, and then destroy the Shui family when they got to Changbai Mountain.
Steal property, beauties, etc.
For more than an hour, the Hou Jin Army worked hard. As a result, after an hour, both Shuizhen's troops and the Hou Jin Army suffered heavy losses.
The troops under Shuizhen's banner lost four thousand, and the latter's Jin army lost two thousand. The former had sixteen thousand left, and the latter eight thousand, while the Qing army was still chasing after them.
At this moment, Shuizhen and Yin Zhu looked at the 20,000 Qing Dynasty troops that suddenly appeared in front of them. They were both dumbfounded and suddenly broke into a cold sweat...
what happened?
Why are there so many Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers in front?
Haha, the answer is very simple. Jia Yun had long expected that the Qing Dynasty would probably retreat to Changbai Mountain, so he ordered Zhan Chang to quietly deploy 20,000 Qing Dynasty troops on the road from Shengjing to Changbai Mountain to intercept it!
When the Qing Dynasty was threatened by the Ming Dynasty, Jia Yun also deployed hundreds of thousands of Qing Dynasty troops in the north. One of the reasons was that Jia Yun would not tolerate the Qing Dynasty retreating to Changbai Mountain, at least not allowing the Qing Dynasty to take away a large amount of property and beautiful women.
Going to Changbai Mountain, those property and beauties all belong to the Qing Dynasty, how can they be allowed to be possessed by the Shui family? Let alone Hou Jin plunder them!
The Qing Dynasty military general who led 20,000 Qing Dynasty troops to intercept on the road was the general Qi Kang'an.
"kill!"
At this moment, following Qi Kang'an's sonorous and powerful military order, the 20,000 Qing Dynasty troops rushed towards the Qing troops. At the same time, behind the Qing troops, more than 70,000 Qing Dynasty troops also quickly caught up. There were only more than 20,000 troops in total.
The Qing troops were surrounded from front to back!
kill!
This is a very fierce battle, this is a very brutal fight.
This battle did not last long and ended in the evening. More than 20,000 Qing troops were all defeated, killed, captured, or escaped...
Shui Rong was killed by artillery! Shuizhen and Yinzhu were captured! A large amount of property was seized, and a large number of beauties were placed in Zhan Chang's house!
According to subsequent statistics, the value of the property was as high as more than 10 million taels of silver!
The Shui family planned a rebellion many years ago and prepared a large amount of property for this purpose. After establishing the Qing Dynasty to rebel, they looted a large amount of property and ransacked the entire Shengjing City. It is not surprising that there was so much property.
At this point, the Qing Dynasty, which had only been established for more than a year, was destroyed!
Although it was Zhan Chang, the Pingbei general, who completed the final counter-rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, Jia Yun, as the emperor, also played an important role in this final counter-rebellion. Even if Jia Yun did not play an important role,
Now that he is the emperor, the final suppression of the Qing rebellion can be considered a great achievement of his!
Zhan Chang wrote a memorial with great excitement. After sealing it with fire paint, he sent someone to quickly send it to Shenjing City.
In this memorial, Zhan Chang described in detail the process of countering the rebellion, also described the property seized during the counter-insurgency, and also praised Jia Yun's wise decision.
In addition, Zhan Chang asked Jia Yun for instructions on whether the Qing army would enter Changbai Mountain and destroy Hou Jin in one fell swoop...
