Chapter 410: Supervising Army Eunuchs

The formal writing of the "Anshan Treaty" was not confirmed until Dayong entered Liaoyang City. In fact, it was just a thin piece of paper. Apart from the conditions put forward by Ebilun and Turush on behalf of Mang Gurtai, there was nothing else.

, it might be more appropriate to say that it was a temporary agreement reached by both parties. But Mang Gurtai was now desperate, so this treaty that Shi Dayong didn't take seriously became a life-saving straw for him, and he couldn't take it more seriously.

Turush and Ebilun also knew the importance of this treaty to them, so in addition to asking for money, food and supplies from the Ming army, they also quickly reported the conditions to Liaoyang every day, and they were eager to see the conditions that had been reached.

Modifications were made again, so Wu Heyin took the trouble, but still had to make modifications according to their requirements. Behind the scenes, whenever he thought of Turush and their greedy demands, Wu Heyin felt ridiculous: Don't you know that strength is the basis for deciding cooperation?

!

During the three days in Liaoyang, as many as seven treaties were changed. Without exception, the final fate of these pieces of paper was to become Wu Heyin's wiping paper. If necessary, it would be the final written treaty for Wu Heyin.

I don't mind using it to wipe my butt either.

Mang Gurtai was overjoyed that things were going so smoothly. With the entry of the Ming army, the bannermen in Liaoyang City already knew that Mang Gurtai was going to lead them to surrender. Many bannermen were unwilling to follow Mang Gurtai.

But they were afraid that they would be killed by the Ming army entering the city, so they could only send representatives to request Mang Gurtai to let them out of the city.

Shi Dayong wanted to massacre the banner people who did not want to return to the Ming Dynasty. Mang Gurtai had been notified by Turush and was quite satisfied with the conditions for their return. After all, he was also a bannerman, and he was also the bannerman's Baylor.

How could he really kill these banner people who did not want to return to the Ming Dynasty? He still hoped to get assistance from the Ming State to confront Hong Tai. By then, these banner people would be the force he wanted to fight for, so he could save these people.

Letting them go would definitely be a good thing for him, Mang Gurtai, so why not do it.

In order to promote that he loves the people as his own sons, Mang Gurtai ordered Bai Jia and others to publicize in the city how he fought against the Ming generals and would rather die than save the lives of the Liaoyang bannermen. Not to mention, this move really made people

Mang Gurtai's impression in the minds of Liaoyang banner people has greatly increased, and the stories circulated in the city about how Hong Tai persecuted Mang Gurtai, a compatriot, made Mang Gurtai win the hearts of many banner people.

. It was originally thought that at most a thousand people would follow him to the Ming Dynasty, but the final statistics showed that half of the bannermen were willing to follow him, and the total number of bannermen who asked to leave the city was less than 2,000.

Peng Sihai, who had received Shi Dayong's order, did not chase down the banner men who left the city, and allowed them to disappear before his eyes. This move also made Mang Gurtai, who had been watching on the city top, feel relieved and believed that Shi Dayong was really speaking.

It's true. But he didn't know that twenty miles northeast of Liaoyang City, a cavalry team with skulls on each chest was closely monitoring the bannermen fleeing north.

...........

Before Tulush Ebilun finalized the final details of the treaty, he sent someone to ask Manggurtai if he had any other instructions. After discussing with Bai Jia and Cui Da, Manggurtai informed Ebilun that not only should Manggurtai provide as much instructions as possible in the treaty,

To obtain assistance from the Ming army for Mang Gurtai, the more important thing is to have the Ming army recognize Mang Gurtai's status as the Great Belle in the Jin Kingdom's political affairs, and also to recognize that Mang Gurtai dedicated the city to the Ming Dynasty rather than to the Ming Dynasty.

.

A "return" and a "surrender" represent the key to whether Mang Gurtai and his people can gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty in the future and gain the support of the Ming Dynasty. If they go to the Ming Dynasty as surrenderers, the Ming Dynasty will definitely pay more attention to it.

has declined, and if you go to the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor as a returnee, the treatment you will receive must be that of a vassal. As long as the Ming Dynasty recognizes Mang Gurtai's status as a vassal, then there will be no problem with the subsequent support and assistance

Mang Gurtai, who is still in his prime, does not want to be raised as a treasure by the Ming Dynasty. What he dreams of is to be able to send his army northward to compete with Hong Tai with the support of the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the latest instructions, Ebilun and Turush were also shocked and realized that they had made a big mistake. Although they had previously called them Guiming in their mouths, they had never written it that way on paper. If the treaty

After the plan was drawn up, the Ming army reported to the court that they were here to surrender, but something was very wrong. Regardless of the fact that it was late at night and freezing cold, they broke into Wu Heyin's house, pulled him out of bed, and made a stern request to sign the treaty.

It was emphasized that they were returning to the Ming Dynasty instead of descending to the Ming Dynasty. Wu Heyin's mother was so angry that she cursed secretly.

In the end, the "Anshan Treaty" was released with Wu Heyin's extreme dissatisfaction and disdain, and Mang Gurtai's extreme satisfaction. Before the ink was dry, Ebilun and Turush galloped to Liaoyang with the treaty.

For this treaty to formally take effect, it must be signed and sealed by Mang Gurtai from Liaoyang City and Shi Dayong who is on the way.

...........

Following Dayong to go north to Liaoyang were the Guards Camp, the Left Camp of the Infantry, and a section of the Wolf Cavalry Army, totaling 5,500 infantry and 1,500 cavalry (an additional 1,500 heavy armored auxiliary cavalry). The accompanying troops included Jiang Wanli,

Cao Bianjiao, Guo Cheng, Li Gu, Geng Zhongming, Li Zhongfu, Xiang Chong, Zheng Tai, Shang Kexi and others.

Then set off were two thousand artillery battalions, carrying 80 Western light cannons, 60 small copper cannons made by the Ministry of Industry, 120 muskets, 90 two-wheeled vehicles, 200 artillery carriages, 1,200 gunners, and auxiliary troops.

1,500 people, commanding the army of Qianhu, former Songshan general Dong Zhong, and Dengzhou surrender general Shen Yi.

The firepower of the two thousand units of the artillery battalion was equivalent to the standard equipment of the first battalion of the New Army when Sun Yuanhua was training firearms. Considering that there would be unstable weather conditions in Liaoyang to attack Shenyang, Dayong did not order the entire artillery battalion to march, but only brought

Two thousand households were killed, and the remaining three thousand households immediately moved to Jinzhou. As long as it was not the main force of the Eight Banners that Hong Tai returned to the army, Dayong believed that the artillery power of the two thousand households was enough to capture the empty city of Shenyang.

During this battle, civilian food and grass were not collected in Anshan. Dayong had already prepared to implement the problem of food and grass in Liaoyang.

Turush and Ebilun arrived in time and caught up with Dayong when he arrived in Liaoyang. They entered the city first to meet Mang Gurtai, and later Mang Gurtai led a group of men out of the city to greet them.

Dayong. Peng Sihai, who had received the order to enter Liaoyang the day before, also led his troops to greet him.

Dayong and Mang Gurtai have actually dealt with each other. Speaking of which, Mang Gurtai can be regarded as Dayong's "noble man". Last year, the Songshan Army was about to be wiped out in the first battle at Daling River. If Mang Gurtai had not been killed by Hong Tai

If he was deprived of his Niulu grievance and had the intention to stab Hong Tai, he would not order Tulai of Zhenghuang Banner to retreat.

This battle really fulfilled the words of Zu Dashou, "There are no heroes, so Zhuzi became famous." After that, Dayong just emerged and became a rising star of the Ming Dynasty outside the pass. Dalinghe followed closely behind.

In the battle, the Battle of Jinzhou allowed Dayong to meet the emperor. The edict from the platform said "My fat cavalry general" was enough to make Dayong famous in the world. Even Mrs. Hong did not dare to underestimate him. If it were not for the series of pickets who went south to Dengzhou to quell the rebellion.

It's funny, at this time, Dayong was still just a small Jinzhou general. I'm afraid that the Liaodong commander-in-chief that he had planned for that day had already fallen into his trap.

But Dayong didn't know about Mang Gurtai's life-saving grace. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. I'm afraid he would still ridicule Mang Gurtai for being stupid. Mang Gurtai didn't even know that he and Shi Dayong had such a "hot love".

"After the host and guest exchanged greetings, Dayong walked in front and entered the city without hesitation. Mang Gurtai was just stunned for a moment, but quickly corrected his attitude and followed calmly behind.

After entering the city, the first thing was to sign the "Anshan Treaty". Mang Gurtai attached great importance to the signing. After reading the treaty word for word, he nodded with satisfaction and expressed his approval and prepared to sign and seal it. He originally planned to stamp his name on it.

The big seal of the great Baylor who discussed the affairs of the Jin Kingdom, but the big seal had been confiscated by Hong Tai. At the moment, he could not find the suitable seal material, so he had no choice but to print his big seal inlaid with the blue flag. After sealing it, it was still

He had a lonely look on his face, presumably because he was obsessed with his big Baelor Seal. Turush looked at it and whispered something, and Mang Gurtai suddenly lost his sadness and became energetic again.

Compared with Mang Gurtai's solemnity, Dayong was very casual. He stamped the Jinzhou General's seal without looking at it. This made Mang Gurtai very uncomfortable and asked tactfully about this Ming army.

The expedition was decided by which governor in the court took command. The implication is that this treaty is very important. It would be more solemn and more effective to have it stamped by a governor in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, I am afraid that it will be a blue flag for myself.

A general in the Ming Dynasty felt extremely depressed.

Of course, the most important thing is that Mang Gurtai wants to know who is commanding this Ming army's expedition. According to the Ming army's practice, General Shi Dayong can only come to fight in the front line. The real commander is probably sitting in the rear at the moment.

After strategizing, it is estimated that 80% of the troops will be in Jinzhou or Fuzhou. According to Turrush and Ebilun's inquiries about the Ming army in the past few days, combined with the fierce offensive of the Ming army since they crossed the sea and landed, Manggurtai conservatively estimated that this time in southern Liaoning

The Ming army will not be less than 50,000 people. Such a huge army will naturally not be commanded by a general. Even Zu Dashou, who has the seal of forward general, has never commanded such a large number of soldiers and horses.

, so the commander-in-chief of the Ming army must be someone else, and this person's identity must be extremely prominent. If he had not known that Sun Chengzong had retired and returned to his hometown, Mang Gurtai would have definitely believed that there was no other commander-in-chief except Sun Lao'er.

This surrender is of great importance, and it also affects whether he can make a comeback in the future. Therefore, being able to have a direct relationship with the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty will have twice the result with half the effort for Mang Gurtai's future plans. Whether he is a Jin or a Han,

Well, it is the same reason that there are people in the court who are easy to talk to. Therefore, it is understandable that Mang Gurtai wanted to directly establish relations with the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty for the convenience of the future. However, his bravery was absolutely unsatisfactory.

his.

In the past few days, Ebilun and Turush have been constantly insinuating Wu Heyin, but they have not gotten the answer they want. In Dayong's eyes, the role of Mang Gurtai is limited to Liaoyang City and Shenyang City. Once he takes Shenyang City, Mang Gurtai will be the Great Khan of the Jin people, and he will kill him with a single blow without hesitation.

The so-called use of Mang Gurtai to divide the Eight Banners and let him act as a money-collecting thug for the Ming Dynasty has never occurred to Dayong. He has always believed that the dead Manchu people are good people, just like in his previous life, he firmly believed that the dead Lu Lu Just like good Muslims, maybe there are seventy-two inflatable dolls waiting for them Tunguskas in heaven.

After taking Shenyang City, Mang Gurtai loses the meaning of existence. If Shenyang City cannot be taken, Mang Gurtai becomes valuable, but this value is also reflected in Mang Gurtai's body, not a Great Living Man. From the moment he knew that Mang Gurtai would designate himself as Gui Ming instead of Advocate Ming in the treaty, Dayong's desire to kill Mang Gurtai became even stronger. For the imperial court, perhaps the living Mang Gurtai Gurtai is more meaningful, but to Shi Dayong, the dead Mang Gurtai is more meaningful.

But now that Mang Gurtai asked him face to face, Dayong could not be dismissed. After all, he had to point him to lead the way to Shenyang. If the other party was suspicious or had other thoughts, although he was not afraid that he would dare He fell out, but he was also afraid that something unexpected would happen. He didn't want to suddenly face some troublesome things when he was sharpening his sword and preparing everything to attack Shenyang.

The identities of Jiang Yihe and Xie Yiqing were enough to make every general fearful in the Ming Dynasty, but they were impossible to use outside the gate. They thought they couldn't scare Mang Gurtai. After thinking about it, Dayong decided to tell the truth. He told Mang Gurtai that in fact, this time his Jinzhou army crossed the sea and landed because the emperor bypassed the cabinet and directly commanded it from the Ministry of War, so he was the leader of the army, Shi Dayong.

This statement is obviously unacceptable to Mang Gurtai, and he cannot believe it. When did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty be able to bypass ministers and directly command troops and horses?

To say that this is true, emperors such as Hongwu, Yongle, and Zhengde have done this. However, after defeating these few, the Ming Dynasty's military operations could not bypass the cabinet, not to mention that the current emperor was a young emperor who had just ascended the throne a few years ago.

How could a young emperor have such great prestige and power to directly mobilize troops? Combined with twenty years of experience in fighting the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible for Mang Gurtai to believe it unless his brain was filled with water.

Seeing Mang Gurtai's face sinking to the bottom, Dayong calmly moved out the imperial eunuch Zhao Quan who was imprisoned in Shuangdao.

Eunuch?

After Mang Gurtai and Turush and Ebilun looked at each other, they believed Shi Dayong's words without any hesitation. The Ming army's crossing of the sea was really a whim of the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Why did Mang Gurtai believe it so quickly? Because they knew one thing from the surrendered Ming Dynasty officials, that is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not actually trust his ministers. What they trusted more was their family. Slave - eunuch in the palace.
