Hearing that there might be a food shortage in Zhenyuan City, Hardanbaatar finally couldn't help his worry and began to ask rashly: "What should we do?"
"The food and wages that are due to us, even if the quantity is small, should belong to us. Since they want to suppress us, then we have to show them the strength of our Runing Army. So I called you here this time to discuss
How can I give Commander Wu of Ningyuan City some color?" Yu Ji finally said viciously.
…
After some discussion, the result of the discussion was indeed in line with the ruthlessness of the Runing Army. At dusk of the next day, 200 cavalry of the Runing Army escorted a gun carriage out of Zhenyuan City. They left Zhenyuan City after the third watch.
Later, they arrived at the foot of Ningyuan City, and then fired three cannons at Ningyuan City.
Suffering a sudden artillery attack, the entire Ningyuan City exploded immediately. It was not until the early morning of the panic that the soldiers guarding the city realized that the artillery outside the city had already been withdrawn, and there were no enemy troops to attack the city, and there were only a few left behind on the city wall.
The three big pits proved that everyone in the city was not having a nightmare last night.
From this incident, we can see how lawless the officers of the Runing Army were. It is no wonder that before Wu Shigong left, he gave many instructions to Yu Ji and others not to demolish the house and dig up the land.
Now Wu Sangui, who was guarding Ningyuan City, was really angry, so he sent three thousand soldiers to show off his power at the foot of Zhenyuan City. Note: It was just to show off his power. Of course, if he killed a few military households who had taken refuge in Zhenyuan City,
And Runing Army soldiers, it can "enhance the tone" even more.
Unexpectedly, the Runing Army had already been prepared for Wu Sangui's move. When the three thousand Ming troops, who were showing off their power, arrived about ten miles away from Zhenyuan City, they met the five thousand Runing Army who had already formed their formation.
As soon as he saw that the opponent was ready, the general who led the Ming army wanted to say a few words and then lead the Ming army to retreat. Unexpectedly, the Runing army started fighting without saying a word and defeated the Ming army.
A complete mess.
Then the Runing army did not hold back at all. They pursued the Ming army mercilessly until they were chased to the foot of Ningyuan City. After the war, the Runing army was extremely arrogant and killed all the captured Ming soldiers.
Beheaded, and erected a Jingguan with more than 2,000 heads at the foot of Ningyuan City.
This incident immediately shocked the entire Liaodong, because the ruthless tactics of the Runing Army exceeded the scope of ordinary war. After careful calculation, Wu Sangui found that he did not have the strength to start a full-scale war with the Runing Army in Zhenyuan City.
So he immediately went to his parents and cried to his godfather Gao Qiqian.
The governor of Jiliao, Zhao Zhiwan, and the supervisor Gao Qiqian were also shocked when they learned about this incident. At first, they were pressured by the Ming Dynasty negotiators to prevent the Runing army from hunting in Zhenyuan City, but they have been unable to do so since.
As a result, they were already in dire straits. But now another fire and incident occurred, killing and injuring more than 2,000 officers and soldiers. Especially the Runing Army's vicious and reckless style really made people take a breath of air.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Zhiwan and Gao Qiqian, as the top officials of Liaodong, must...have...concealed it in every possible way. There is no other way, this matter is too big, if once it is revealed to the court
It is not known whether the Runing army in Zhenyuan City will be punished if they go. However, the court will definitely punish these two people for lax control of their subordinates.
After that, lobbyists shuttled between the three cities, small frictions between the two cities, persuasion, promises, bribes, negotiations, and the extremely complicated "shuttle diplomacy" began.
…
In the palace in Shengjing, Huang Taiji once again wiped his face with ice water. Although it was common for the princes and ministers of the Qing Dynasty to use ice in the hot summer, Huang Taiji used to be very disgusted with such a waste of people and money. However,
Today, Huang Taiji summoned Dorgon and Hong Chengchou for a long talk one after another. Afterwards, he felt unwell and hot, so he had to use local methods to relieve his discomfort.
After Huang Taiji wiped his face, he drank three cups of tea in succession (he had severe diabetes). After that, he felt physically and mentally calmer, and then he thought about the long conversation just now.
"Obai, what do you think of what these two people said just now?" Huang Taiji suddenly asked.
"Your Majesty! I only know how to fight on the battlefield. I really don't understand the general trend of the world. I just think that what these two people said is reasonable. However, Mr. Hong is just bragging about the Henan soldiers. He is a Ming minister. He must always
To put gold on his face. After Prince Kerui came back from Guan Nei, he felt that he was completely lost and that he had lost all the backbone of our nation. Is that Mongolian brat named Wu so powerful?" Obai's answer
They may sound rude, but they contain hidden agendas.
Huang Taiji smiled slightly and said nothing. Then he turned to Sony and asked, "What do you think?"
"This Ming army is difficult to fight, and it will take a lot of effort. Fortunately, their territory is too small. They only occupy the land of two mansions, and they only have 30,000 to 40,000 people at most." Sony bowed and said.
Huang Taiji smiled again after hearing this. At this time, he made a judgment on the two humerus cronies in his heart: Although Obai had been trying to figure out his own heart and spoke what was in his heart, he seemed too
They are sharp and sharp, but Sony is much more restrained. Sony will have a better future in the future!
"What's the news in Shengjing these days?" Huang Taiji's thinking was very fast, and he suddenly asked a digression.
Obai and Sony looked at each other, and then Sony replied: "The prices of some things in Shengjing have soared, and the expenses of the princes and princes have also increased greatly. They have a lot of complaints privately. They are all looking forward to hunting south again and going to the Ming Dynasty to get it.
Last vote."
"Aren't you going to open the stage and hold banquets all day long? Since there are less things coming from the Ming Dynasty, there will be fewer shows. These princes are used to living like Han dogs." Oboi interjected from the side.
"I also neglected the Ming Dynasty's construction of Zhenyuan City at that time. If I had worked harder to stop their construction at that time, the troubles now would have been less." Huang Taiji sighed.
"Your Majesty! You don't have to blame yourself. It was also because of Concubine Chen's incident that you had to return to Shengjing. It was a fault that no one was in charge of the front line. In addition, Zhenyuan City was indeed too close to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, making it difficult for the army to enter.
It's hard to stop the construction of the city. Commander Wu really found a good opportunity." Sony said.
"You can't say that." Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "The newly built Zhenyuan City has become a climate in such a short period of time. The saddest thing is that the number of caravans going to Shengjing has been reduced by 30%, and they will have to take a long way to come back in the future.
.This Commander-in-Chief Wu is an outstanding person. And Sony, you are wrong in saying that the Henan Army of Commander-in-Chief Wu does not only have 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers. He is also a man who knows the troops. How can he be willing to blindly divide his troops? But now
There are nearly 10,000 Yu troops left in Zhenyuan, and his army in Runing is estimated to be more than 50,000."
"But Your Majesty, Liaodong and Henan are thousands of miles apart. Even if we want to fight, we are still beyond our reach." Obai said.
After listening to Obai's words, Huang Taiji nodded unconsciously. At this time, he fell into deep thought again. After a while, Huang Taiji seemed to have made up his mind in his heart. He said: "Besiege Jinzhou and Songshan, although we will gain a big victory."
Victory, but apart from the population and weapons, the banners gained nothing. On the contrary, the farming of each banner was missed, which greatly reduced the harvest of our Qing Dynasty. In order to make up for the losses of each banner, I originally planned to let the banners win this winter.
Abatai once again entered the southern part of the Pass to hunt, but in order to deal with this Henan army, I am ready to send more troops, and I will also lead the expedition myself."
"Your Majesty!" Obai and Sony exclaimed in unison.
As Huang Taiji's personal bodyguards, both of them knew that Huang Taiji's health was deteriorating and that he could not withstand the fatigue of continuous battles. If something went wrong while Huang Taiji was on his own campaign, the fate of the Qing Dynasty would immediately change.
Unmeasurable.
However, after Huang Taiji listened to the two people's dissuasion, he suddenly threw the teacup in his hand on the ground in a rage, which frightened everyone in the hall and fell to the ground, not daring to raise their heads.
"Do you think I am willing to suffer? Do you think I want to lead a military expedition? Now the Ming Dynasty has lost another 200,000 troops in Kaifeng Mansion. The only person who can threaten me in the Qing Dynasty is Commander Wu's Yu
The army is here."
"So this time I entered the pass, even if I didn't grab a single person or a grain of food, as long as I defeated this Henan army, it would be considered a great victory. But can it be done without me? And which prince, Baylor, can suppress everyone?
Qi’s thoughts?”
"To be honest, although Dorgon suffered too many casualties in the river, he fought resolutely with this Henan army. Now it seems that it is a meritorious service. In my opinion, he should have left behind all the captured people and livestock.
, leading those 10,000 able men to the battlefield, it is guaranteed to completely defeat this Henan army. In hindsight, this matter is a pity."
"But in Songshan, each banner had its own thoughts. Afterwards, they were defeated miserably and retreated. In the end, they did not cut off the return route of this Henan army and allowed them to escape safely. Whose fault is this?"
"Great opportunities are often lost. Alas! And I have also read the previous battle reports. Whenever the Qing Dynasty enters the pass, the Henan army will always go north to Qinwang. As long as we look for good opportunities, no matter it is a fair battle,
Whether it is to set up an ambush, we must find a way to defeat it, and even send the army as far south as possible to attack the home base of the Henan Army - Runing, Guide. This hidden worry will be completely eliminated. In this way, the Qing Dynasty will have nothing to worry about.
.”
After listening to Huang Taiji's long speech, Obai and Sony could not argue. They could only kowtow repeatedly and dissuade them again: "Your Majesty, can you let Prince Su lead the army? In the name of Prince Su, the emperor can also stay in Shengjing to ensure the military morale."
.This method is more appropriate.”
"This time we are hunting in the south. I am going to use a hundred thousand troops. This kid Hauge still needs more training! Hey——! Let him stay behind this time!"
