Chapter 192 Persuading Changli to Surrender for the Second Time
"This person's name is Li Yingfang. Like Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan, he is a member of Yuci, Shanxi. This time he was recruited by the imperial court and came all the way to the capital. According to Li Yingfang, he has a very good relationship with Zuo Yingxuan and is confident of persuading him to surrender.
Him." Bai Yangcui introduced him quickly.
The governor of the Ming Dynasty should be a useful person. Since he said that he was sure to persuade Zuo Yingxuan to surrender, let him go and persuade Zuo Yingxuan to surrender first, and then see what his talents are.
Huang Taiji thought of this and said to Bai Yangcui: "That's very good. I will write a decree and ask him to take it to Da Beile in Changli. After reading it, Da Beile will arrange for him to persuade him to surrender. The conditions will be determined by him.
Changli just surrenders."
"It is Li Yingfang's good fortune to be reused by his master. I kowtow to the master on his behalf." After saying this, he actually kowtowed a few times.
Huang Taiji secretly despised him in his heart. He was so shameless as a Han dog. He could say anything and do anything. I was about to vomit.[
He quickly wrote a decree and asked Bai Yangcui to take it to Li Yingfang, asking him to set off for Changli immediately.
In fact, neither of them knew that Li Yingfang boasted that he had a very good relationship with Zuo Yingxuan and was able to persuade him to surrender in order to allow Huang Taiji to meet him so that he could be sold at a high price. Who knew that he had mispredicted Huang Taiji's reaction, which was self-defeating.
After Bai Yangcui left, Huang Taiji calmed down again, and this incident reminded him of the war in Changli.
Although I really want Daishan to knock his front teeth off in Changli City, after all, we are still in the Ming Kingdom. It is not a good idea to kill each other first. Compared with other Baylors, Huang Taiji has a better view of the overall situation.
But if persuading surrender fails, as mentioned before, Changli still has to be attacked. In this case, even if an attack occurs, the casualties in Daijin will not be small. For a small county town in the Ming Dynasty, the loss will be too great.
What a deal.
Huang Taiji didn't think of a way until after dinner and ordered to summon the leaders of the Mongolian tribes.
This time, Huang Taiji didn't call the other brothers, only his younger brother.
After everyone was seated, Huang Taiji sat on the khan seat and asked them kindly: "How do you feel since you entered the customs with me, Dajin?"
Upon hearing what Huang Taiji said, these younger brothers all smiled with joy and praised Huang Taiji sincerely. This time they entered the customs with Dajin and got a lot of money. It was so satisfying.
Some tribal leaders felt that they had been praised enough, so they asked when they could go back at the end.
When the other leaders heard about this topic, they were very concerned. They all stopped talking and waited to see what the Khan had to say.
Huang Taiji felt comfortable listening at first, but later he frowned when he was asked when he was going back.
But he immediately raised his brows and said calmly: "The war in Changli is not over yet, how can you just leave? If you want to leave the customs early, you must at least wait until the war in the customs has come to an end. It is a pity that the number of troops in Changli is small.
point."
When Huang Taiji said this, he paused and glanced at the younger brothers to see if they had anything to say.
What he meant was that in order to go back as early as possible, these young men came out and patted their chests after hearing what he said, saying that there was no problem with the few soldiers, and they immediately set off to assist and end the war as soon as possible.
It's a pity that he was wrong. None of these boys are stupid. They all know in their hearts that people will die in war. Therefore, no one answered the call. If you go back later, go back later. It's good to have food and drink here.
Huang Taiji waited for a while, but no one spoke, and it was surprisingly quiet. He also saw a younger brother who wanted to cough but didn't dare. His face turned red and he tried hard not to attract his attention.
Huang Taiji's palace was very deep. Although he was angry, he did not show it. He also did not forcefully assign people to help attack Changli. This would damage the reputation of Dajin.
I just heard him say: "That Changli is just a small county town. Let's fight. There are too few troops left there. It would be a pity not to fight."[
When the leaders of the Mongolian tribes heard this, they were a little confused. What did the Great Khan mean by this? It was a pity. Didn't he say that Changli was just a small county?
One of the leaders did not remain calm. His interest was aroused by Huang Taiji and he asked: "Great Khan, what's the pity for a small county?"
Huang Taiji pretended to be a little regretful and said: "You don't know that Changli is small, but it is one of the richest places in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the wealthy households around Changli took their belongings with them when the war first started.
I hid in Changli City. Therefore, I thought it would be a pity not to fight."
What, the richest people in the richest place have all fled into Changli City, and it is still a small county, and the defense is definitely not good. What else can we worry about such a good thing?
Immediately, a group of leaders jumped out and challenged Huang Taiji to fight.
"Great Khan, our Aohan tribe has been following the leadership of the Great Khan. Dajin is still fighting. How can we stand idly by and watch."
"Great Khan, even though Naiman doesn't have many soldiers, he still deserves to contribute to Dajin."
"Great Khan, isn't there a shortage of troops? We in Bahrain have plenty of soldiers. As long as the Great Khan gives an order, he will immediately select the most powerful warriors to obey the Great Khan's order without saying a word."
""
These people all have one idea anyway, they would be fools not to take advantage of them.
Huang Taiji was not in a hurry. He waved his hand to calm them down, and then said slowly and calmly: "In war, people will die. I can't bear to let our Mongolian brothers get hurt."
"It's okay, it's okay, we did it voluntarily."
"We are willing to serve Daikin."
"We have an sworn feud with Han dogs. Don't stop us, Khan."
""
Huang Taiji looked at the performance of these people before and after, and secretly despised them in his heart. If he wanted to take advantage, then go ahead.
Therefore, Huang Taiji reluctantly agreed to their request and asked them to attack Changli.
When these people saw that the Khan agreed, they immediately left and went back to reorganize their troops. Within half an hour, they broke out of camp and left. Nearly 30,000 people marched towards Changli in a mighty way.
Let's talk about the Jianlu camp at Guanhou Temple in the east of Changli City. After Daishan sent Huang Taiji away, he immediately ordered the army to be divided into two parts to attack the east and west sides of Changli County.
At this time, winter has emerged, and the sun is shining on the earth. Although it is still so cold, it illuminates this troubled land.
Daishan left the camp with the troops attacking the east of the city and came to Changli.
He was a little surprised to see Changli City shining brightly in the sun from a distance. When he got closer and could see it clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.[
You know why, it turns out that the entire city of Changli is covered with a thick layer of ice at this time. Those wooden rafts are wrapped in a layer of crystal clear ice, and some of the rafts still have ice pillars hanging on them.
Beautiful and dazzling, it blinded Daishan's dog eyes.
The siege troops were already in place, and the commanders of various ministries came to ask Daishan for instructions on whether to start the siege.
Daishan looked at the Changli city wall and gritted his teeth with hatred. This attack with fire was obviously not going to work. But he had also signed a military order with that sinister Huang Taiji, and he couldn't do it without fighting.
Now that the siege posture has been set up, and the east and west sides are forced to attack the city at the same time, maybe it can still be captured. After all, the city wall is not very high, and the defenders are not the elite of the Ming Dynasty, not even the regular army.
Everyone felt that they were better than others, so Daishan wanted to try it no matter what, so he ordered the drums to be beaten to attack the city.
Why is the city head different from before? It turns out that Changli County Magistrate Zuo Yingxuan understood that Daishan might use fire attack. He remembered the ancient tactics of splashing water to turn ice, so he ordered to build wooden platoons on the outside of the city wall at night.
, and poured water on them all several times. In this weather where drops of water turned into ice, the water that was poured out quickly froze.
Zuo Yingxuan thought, even if you don't attack with fire, adding a thick layer of ice will also be beneficial to defense. It is always right to do more things. This time, Dai Shan's wishful thinking was shattered.
Early in the morning, the departure of the large Jianlu troops made all the soldiers and civilians heave a sigh of relief.
Although there are still many more Jianlu troops left than in previous times, but after comparing the numbers yesterday, no one feels any psychological burden because of the existing Jianlu troops.
Zuo Yingxuan and guard Shi Guozhu were responsible for the east and west sides respectively to resist Jianlu's attack.
This time there were more soldiers attacking the city than in the previous two times, and they attacked simultaneously from the east and west sides. The methods were similar, except that they used ladders to attack the city.
Therefore, with the concerted efforts of Changli's army and people, it was no surprise that it was defended again.
Daishan met with disgrace at the foot of Changli City, losing his troops in vain but gaining nothing.
He sat in a daze in the big tent in annoyance, thinking whether to write a letter to several other brothers so that they could plead with Huang Taiji and let him go.
Suddenly, the bodyguard came in and reported that someone was coming from Yongping.
Daishan thought that Huang Taiji would not send people to humiliate him, so he reluctantly summoned them.
I didn't expect him to be a newly surrendered Han dog, just look at his shiny forehead.
However, when he read Huang Taiji's decree, he was overjoyed. Now he feels that it would be best not to fight. Now Huang Taiji has sent an acquaintance of the Changli County Magistrate to persuade him to surrender, and it would be best if he succeeds. He does not
Summoned Li Yingfang, and immediately began to arrange for people to come to persuade him to surrender.
