Chapter 61 Awareness of righteousness and persuading ancestors to surrender to their birthday (Part 2)
Update time:2012-10-20
During the Second Aid Battle of Dalinghe, the Qing history manuscript records this: When the Song and Wu tribes came out, they encountered heavy fog and did not know each other on the other side. Suddenly, a green air rushed into the Ming camp, opening up like a door. The Jin army entered in the fog, fought hard, defeated them, and captured them.
One deputy general, two staff generals, three guerrillas were killed, more than three thousand Ming soldiers were captured and killed, and all their armor and horses were captured.
The green air rushes into Mingying camp, which is strange.
…………
Encourage surrender to the ancestors?[
Huang Taiji groaned deeply and praised with his head: "What a great idea! In a battle between husbands, the most important thing is to attack the heart. Old Bao, you have mastered the essence of it."
Bao Chengxian was excited when he was praised by King Khan. He must know that the title "Old Bao" is an honor. Even those who came first like Ning Wanme and Fan Wencheng could not deserve such a kind name from King Khan. Excited, he smiled
With a full face, he said humbly: "I also have a big plan for us. If we can capture all the ancestors without fighting, it will reduce the casualties of our Eight Banners soldiers. Secondly, it will also make the Khan more powerful and attack the soldiers and civilians in the Daling River."
Talking is also a good deed, and I think I will definitely be tempted by this kind of thing that has the best of both worlds!"
"Well, good, I have long wanted to surrender. If my ancestor is really willing to surrender to me, I will not hesitate to be a high-ranking official!"
Huang Taiji did what he said without any hesitation, and immediately ordered Fan Wencheng: "Mr. Wencheng, please send a letter to Zu Dashou, urging him to come and surrender as soon as possible."
When Fan Wencheng heard that he was asked to write a letter to Zu Dashou, he secretly rejoiced and said hurriedly: "I accept the order!"
Bao Chengxian was secretly cursing. He had the idea, but Fan Wencheng had to deal with it. If he really persuaded Zu Dashou to join him, would the credit go to himself or to Fan Wencheng?
………
Early the next morning, Fan Wencheng rode alone to the city of Daling River. He was not afraid of the Ming army on the city shooting him with arrows, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Fan Wencheng, a junior scholar, has been ordered by the great Jin Tiancong Khan to have important matters with the Ming Dynasty's vanguard."
Commander-in-Chief Zu Dashou discussed with him and asked Commander-in-Chief Zu to meet with Mo Xue."
After a while, an angry curse came from the top of the city: "You are a disgraceful scum, a betrayer of your ancestors, and you still have the nerve to come to my city! Come on, shoot this villain to death with an arrow!"
After hearing this curse, Fan Wencheng knew that it was his ancestor's birthday, so he was not angry, let alone afraid. Instead, he laughed, raised his head and said to the city: "Commander Zu, don't be angry. There is a law between the two countries and they will not kill the envoys.
Mo Xue also came here under orders, Master Zu won’t let others criticize him, right?”
"Why are two countries at war? Bah, how can slaves be called one country? I'm just a traitor to the Ming Dynasty!" The person who spoke was the deputy general He Kegang. He raised his hand and ordered Fan Wencheng to be shot to death, so as to save him from talking about it in the city.
However, Zu Dashou suddenly waved his hand to signal the soldiers not to shoot arrows. He looked down into the city and shouted, "Fan Wencheng, why did Mrs. Hong send you here?"
Fan Wencheng knew that Zu Dashou would not really shoot him to death, so he took out a letter from his arms and said loudly: "Here is a letter from my Khan King. Zu Shuai will know after reading it."
Zu Dashou shouted in a deep voice: "Shoot up!"
Fan Wencheng said: "Commander Zu has taken it!" After saying that, he drew his bow and arrow and shot the letter up to the top of the city.
The arrow landed in an open space not far from Zu Dashou, and the soldiers hurriedly picked it up and handed it over. Zu Dashou took the letter in his hand, but did not open it immediately, but stared at it thoughtfully.
But Zu Zerun really wanted to know what the letter said, so he came forward and asked in a low voice: "Father, what did Mrs. Hong write in the letter?"
"Yeah!" Zu Dashou glared angrily.
Zu Zerun was startled and took a few steps back, not daring to ask any more questions.[
His eyes swept over the faces of He Kegang, Zhang Cunren, Liu Tianlu and others one by one. Only then did Zu Dashou open the letter and read it. The letter read:
"I have long heard that the Ming Dynasty's forward soldier, Dashou, was loyal, courageous, and both civil and military. I admired him greatly. However, I heard that Yuan Dutang, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty and his mentor, was killed by the emperor and was hacked to death with 3,600 knives. This loyal minister and righteous man was
The blood changed the color of the heaven and the earth, and the rivers wept for it. When I heard about it, I couldn't help but sigh and lamented for a long time. Although I am not a Han, I also heard that the Han people have not been able to punish high officials since ancient times. Chongzhen treated the important officials of the imperial court like this, which chilled the hearts of the world.
Why is it different from King Zhou of Shang's desire to compete with others? Such a cowardly king is really not worth the sacrifice of his subjects.
Since I started my army in the Jin Dynasty, the commanders of Liaodong have gone from Li Weihan to Yang Hao to Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen. They all died well, and now Yuan Dutang is the most famous. Who will be the next commander to be killed? Didn’t the ancestor commander himself?
Are you thinking about it? Chongzhen's child was suspicious, but the general can really end up good?
I am thirsty for talents. If the general returns to Jin, I will spread the red carpet on the ground and personally welcome him to the city. If the general returns to Jin, he will be able to accomplish great things!"
After reading the letter, there were already two more tears in Zu Dashou's eyes. His thoughts suddenly seemed to go to the vegetable market in the capital, and he seemed to see Yuan Dutang being cut up alive.
…………
After coming down from the top of the city, Zu Dashou locked himself in the room. It was not until night that He Kegang was called.
After He Kegang arrived, Zu Dashou sighed slightly and said bluntly: "Today the food and grass in the city are almost exhausted, and General Hong Tai has surrounded the city so strongly. How can we break out of these four deep trenches? If the imperial court doesn't send more troops,
Reinforcements, more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city will be trapped in the city. Now, we must choose a way out."
He Kegang was startled, why couldn't he hear the implication of Zu Dashou's words? He lost his voice and said: "Does Commander Zu want to return the gold?"
Zu Dashou smiled bitterly: "Apart from this, is there any other way to go?"
He Kegang stood up resolutely and said: "Commander Zu, we must not drop gold!"
Zu Dashou asked back: "If we don't pay the money, are we really going to wait here to die?"
"Commander Zu, the death of Dutang was done by Hong Taiji. You and I have received great kindness from Dutang, and now we can't repay it, but we won't go back to serve his enemies! The last general now wishes he could tear Huang Taiji to pieces.
Duan, just to relieve the hatred in his heart and let the final general become a minister under him, he can't do it in this life, nor in the next life!" He Kegang said categorically and did not allow for negotiation at all.
Seeing this, Zu Dashou could no longer talk about surrendering gold. Although he was the vanguard commander, He Kegang had always had prestige in the army. If he insisted on refusing to surrender, there would be nothing he could do.
Seeing that Zu Dashou no longer mentioned the issue of gold reduction, He Kegang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "Commander Zu, in the end, the Tatars still have one word for the people who have surrendered: kill. It only took less than a year for Yongping to be slaughtered.
, Don’t you remember Commander-in-Chief? If you surrender, you will be killed. If you don’t surrender, you will be killed. If you surrender, you will be killed and you will be despised by others. If you are killed in battle, you will leave a good name. Commander-in-Chief should make a clear decision on where to go."
Hearing this, Zu Dashou was startled and exclaimed: "I am also so anxious that I have lost my mind. Seeing that the food and grass are running out, the reinforcements are defeated again and again. I am deceived by that Hong Tai's trick, so I lose my sense of proportion. That's right.
That’s right, killing Jiannu and surrendering is not something that happens in a day or two. If you really surrender them, you will really stick out your neck and let them chop them."
He Kegang said again: "Jinzhou's reinforcements have been defeated, but Master Jinglue will not sit idly by and do nothing to help. The general estimates that within ten days, a large army will come to help. Commander Zu must not be discouraged!"
