"This... this... this..." After three words in a row, Dayong finally lost his voice and said: "How is this possible?!..."
"The governor also wants to know why this is happening?"
Although there was a look of confusion on Hou Xun's face, it was more of anger. Yes, it was really anger, because Shi Dayong had promised him that Donglu had no more power to invade the border, and now he was just hanging on, and the Ming Dynasty only had to By pacifying the internal troubles, the Leiting force can sweep across the border. But the fact is that the Donglu invaders have invaded again, and their momentum is stronger than six years ago. This time they did not raid the capital like they did in the second year of Chongzhen, but went straight to the capital. Come!
Judging from the Tongbao issued by the Ministry of War, the number of Donglu soldiers who entered the invasion this time was no less than 100,000, and even the North Korean firearms army accompanied them. Judging from the messages they circulated after entering the customs, this time Donglu was not just Just like six years ago, they mainly focused on robbing property and plundering people, but they were clearly rushing to conquer the Central Plains. This was to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and repeat the power of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties!
Three years ago, Shi Dayong reported the great victory in Shenyang to the court. The memorial clearly stated that he severely damaged the Eastern captives with the strength of an army, and killed hundreds of Tatar kings under Hong Tai (although few people believed it) and killed their tribes. There were tens of thousands of them, and more than 200,000 Han people were rescued from slavery. A dozen cities from Shenyang below were in ruins. The red land was thousands of miles away, and there was no human habitation. It took more than ten years for the Eastern captives to recover from this damage. The horse that reported victory came to Beijing. At that time, the imperial court really believed it, because the Liaodong Army indeed sent hundreds of large and small Tatar heads to the capital, and later sent more than 17,000 Tatar heads. With such real heads in , who suspects that Shi Dayong will lie about military information?
Although the imperial court treated this great victory coldly because Shi Dayong did not obey the edict, and few people knew about it, this did not mean that the imperial court did not believe what Shi Dayong said. Even if the emperor was dissatisfied with Shi Dayong, he was still grateful to Shi Dayong in his heart. Yes, he still values the strength of his soldiers and horses. After all, he is not alone in the northern expedition, and the Donglu will not be severely damaged. Ming Dynasty will not be able to spare its energy to concentrate on dealing with the rogue bandits, otherwise the Donglu will come over every now and then. No one can bear to attack the Ming Dynasty. With this in mind, no matter how domineering Shi Dayong was and refused to listen to the edict, Chongzhen could bear it and turned a blind eye to what he did in Dengzhou. As long as Shi Dayong Dayong did not imitate Kong Youde and raise the banner of rebellion. On the surface, he was a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Dengzhou was still a place of the Ming Dynasty.
For more than three years, although the censors continued to impeach Shi Dayong for his misdeeds in Dengzhou, the emperor kept these bullets and did not release them. Shen Shikui, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang, screamed injustice everywhere in the capital, and the emperor turned a deaf ear. Why? Except In addition to not wanting to break his face, Chongzhen was also bitter and vain. He owed Shi Dayong more than Shi Dayong owed the court. Even today, the rewards for the Jinzhou victory have not yet been settled. As for Denglai to quell the rebellion, Liaodong There is no mention of the great victory. If it were to break up, wouldn't the people of the world, while accusing Shi Dayong of not obeying the emperor's orders, also criticize the emperor for being mean and ungrateful?
Chongzhen is not a mean and ungrateful person, and he is not reluctant to reward meritorious soldiers. But now he really has no way to make up for what he owes, because there is no money in the national treasury, and there is no money in his inner treasury. The erection was too big, and there were too many one after another. Apart from him, the group of soldiers under him had to seal out a few marquises according to their merits, and even the general soldiers had to seal out a group. , but the question is how the court will arrange for them? If they install this one, they will have to peel off the other one. Even if they can settle them at all costs, can they survive in the court? Who among those civil servants is willing to see a group of people appear overnight? A large group of marquises have risen to the imperial court by virtue of their military exploits. It has been two hundred years since the civil servants did not do much else and engaged in internal strife and party strife. However, the suppression of military personnel has never changed, and they are very united. , they will not let a group of warriors become colleagues in their court! Even the emperor himself cannot force them to agree!
Besides, this Liaodong Army was brought out by Shi Dayong, and the soldiers under his command have been firmly integrated with Shi Dayong. Once these generals who had soldiers in their hands and rolled out of the dead entered the court, they took control of the Ming Dynasty.
The soldiers and horses everywhere, not to mention the civil servants who would not feel at ease, how could he, the emperor, also feel at ease?
Chongzhen himself said on the platform that Shi Dayong is my fat knight, but once this fat knight general becomes a figure like Lan Yu, I am afraid it will be his young emperor who will have a headache.
Sometimes, the young emperor even felt that Shi Dayong's refusal to comply with the imperial edict might be the best solution, because only in this way could the court suppress him and not have to consider how to arrange him and his subordinates. There was only one Dengzhou left and right.
It is a ruined place again. If Shi Dayong wants to stay there, let him stay there. As for Lushun, the imperial court has not taken care of it for more than ten years. As for Dongjiang, Mao Wenlong was a bit disobedient to the imperial court when he was there. Now it is better than others.
Mao Wenlong was much weaker at that time. If he had more than him, he would not have much, and if he had less, he would not have much. Shi Dayong could take advantage of him if he wanted. Anyway, he was alone overseas, so what was the big deal.
If the Central Plains bandits were not in danger, the imperial court would not be able to send more troops, and with Hou Xun's guarantee, Chongzhen would not mobilize the Liaodong Army to suppress them. Before the imperial court could completely wipe out the rogue bandits, the young emperor wished that Shi Dayong and him
It would be best for those arrogant soldiers under his command to stay in Dengzhou forever.
But now, the Donglu who Shi Dayong claimed were defeated have actually entered the pass again, and they are even more fierce and fierce than six years ago. If it is said that the Donglu six years ago just wanted to rob the rich capital of the Ming Dynasty,
A robber who left at once, the Donglu six years later were the alien troops who wanted to come and sit in the Dragon Court of the Forbidden City!
What's the difference between bandits and the army? It's just that one has no ambitions and the other has ambitions. A bandit with ambitions is more terrifying than a group of bandits without ambitions!
Shi Dayong deceived the emperor, Shi Dayong lied about a great victory, Shi Dayong had ulterior motives, and Shi Dayong harmed the country!
Hou Xun received the official document from the Ministry of War. After being shocked, the first thing he thought of was not to immediately mobilize troops to serve the king, but to curse Shi Dayong for being a bastard. He dared to tell such a ridiculous lie to the court! If he hadn't written the report
Speaking of severely inflicting heavy losses on the Donglu, could the imperial court send the elite troops and horses that were supposed to be stationed at Ji Town to go south to defeat the rebels? If the troops and horses that were supposed to guard against the invasion of the Donglu were still at their original stations, how easy would it be for the Donglu to attack the capital?!
"If I remember correctly, the memorial to General Shi in the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign was brilliant."
Hou Xun tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but the tone of his words made Dayong extremely uncomfortable. He could tell that Hou Xun was ridiculing him!
How could it happen? How could it happen? How could this happen?...
Dayong is also very confused in his heart. Hong Tai is dead, Dorgon who was supposed to lead the Eight Banners into the pass is dead, Daishan is also dead, and the two murderous bastards Amin and Mangping Ertai are also dead. He really
I can't think of any other person in Manchuria who has such courage. He can restore the vitality of the Eight Banners that was severely damaged by him in such a short period of time, and can also use his troops to invade the pass three years later. Such people are no better than the four major
Beile and Dorgon are different, but why don't I know that such people exist in Donglu!
How careless, how careless, that damn history! I thought that with Mrs. Hong dead and Dorgon killed by me, there would never be a hero-like figure in Manchuria, and I could live happily in Dengzhou to develop the army.
, and then wiped out the bandits who really destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and then used the entire country's army to sweep away the surviving Donglu, but who would have thought that Donglu would turn out to be a powerful character again!
Who is this person? Who is this person!
Ignoring Hou Xun's sarcasm, Dayong took a breath and asked Hou Xun in a deep voice: "Does Master Dutang know who is leading the Tatar soldiers who invaded this time?"
"The Tang newspaper said that it is Hauge, the son of Hong Tai. This man has now changed his name from Jin to Qing. He calls himself Emperor Chongde. The vanguard general is the general Jierhalang who was appointed by him." Hou Xun replied coldly, although he hated Shi Dayong has harmed the country, but now is not the time to fall out with Wu Fu. After all, he still has to lead his troops to King Qin of Beijing.
"Haug?"
Dayong was stunned. After Hong Tai's death, the Military Intelligence Department sent people to infiltrate Shenyang and found out that Hauge had succeeded the Khan. But the problem was that Dayong didn't take Hong Tai's eldest son seriously at all. He only thought that this This guy is just the second generation who succeeded to the throne by his father Yu Yin. He never thought that this guy would be able to deal with the Eight Banners dignitaries after he succeeded. He might suddenly "die" of illness soon. Therefore, after several failed operations in the Military Intelligence Department, Wu Heyin After telling him with a grimace that the Military Intelligence Department's spy network in the Jin Army's territory had been completely lost, Dayong just scolded Wu Heyin angrily and did not order the Military Intelligence Department to continue the intelligence war against Donglu. He only devoted himself to the reorganization and reorganization of the Liaodong Army. To restore people's livelihood and maritime trade, God knows, with such carelessness and contempt, Hauge integrated the Eight Banners under his nose, restored his vitality, and shamelessly changed the name of the country and proclaimed himself emperor. The country's name is still Qing, and all this seems to still be the same There is no escape from the original wheel of history.
It seems that he still underestimated Donglu and the people of this world. Dayong sighed secretly and blamed himself. If he had not underestimated Hauge at the beginning, but had sent troops to attack Shenyang the next year, he would not have been able to win. Let Haug slow down the pace of integrating the Eight Banners, so that there will be no situation where a hundred thousand Tatar troops approach the capital.
All of this is my fault. I can't live up to Ming Dynasty or the Emperor!
Dayong's hands couldn't help but clenched into tight and powerful fists, and his already ferocious face became even more terrifying. Hou Xun was startled, thinking that the other party was angry at his harsh tone and was going to attack him. Wait and see if Dayong is not aggressive. He then calmed down a little and said: "Now that the Donglu are approaching the capital, the emperor has already issued an order to all places to serve the king. Mr. Shi, please see that we set off on time to help the king. The Donglu will send 100,000 troops this time, and they are coming fiercely. We and King Qin's army must set out immediately, otherwise the capital will be in danger, the emperor will be in danger, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!" After three dangers in a row, Hou Xun was also very anxious at this moment, wishing he could lead his troops into the defense immediately.
"King Qin?" Dayong, who had reacted from his anger and self-blame, couldn't help but was stunned when he heard the word "King Qin". He shook his head painfully under Hou Xun's eager eyes: "The general cannot be King Qin at the moment."
