Songjin was defeated. Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, and more than a hundred Ming civil and military generals were killed by the Qing army. Li Yutian was appointed as the last governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. Wu Sangui was stationed outside the pass to guard the isolated city of Ningyuan. However, he had applied to return to Beijing a few months ago to accept his post as the capital.
The right capital censor of the Procuratorate.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the current Procuratorate and can also be said to be the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. It has a lot of power. The left and right censors are also the chief and deputy disciplinary officials. They are awesome and coaxing. They are also the only ones with the strength to compete with Dongchang.
yamen.
Although the military situation outside is critical at the moment, a large-scale anti-corruption operation is being carried out in the capital, a multi-department joint operation. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the leader in the open, but secretly the Middle East Factory is the one who carries the white knife in and the red knife out. People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate
The investigation turned out to be correct, which also prompted the other party to take counterattacks. They also wanted to investigate Dongchang. It is said that they were collecting relevant evidence from everywhere.
It was always Dongchang who investigated people, and I also investigated my own family affairs myself. How could I allow others to meddle in other people's business? So Chunxiang was also targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, was promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet.
The current person in charge of the Procuratorate is Li Yutian. His name has been heard by Chang Yu again and again, so he asked just now.
After drinking for a few rounds, the conversation was almost over, and the topic finally returned to the current situation. Nearly 30,000 Qing cavalrymen were running wild outside the city, attacking the city, killing people, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. How should we deal with him?
Half a month ago, there were no soldiers or generals in the capital, so Chang Yu could only use Sun Tzu's Art of War's Dimo strategy to delay! Using the imperial capital as a bait, Dorgon was hung up for several days. Finally, it was time for King Qin's troops to win, so they all waited for the opportunity.
But now, even though there are many soldiers and generals, everyone in Guangran still feels like a mountain is weighing down on them and they can't breathe. The reason is very cruel. With more people, they may not be able to defeat others.
Dorgon's entry into the Pass this time was to deploy the most elite cavalry under his command. The combat effectiveness of the Qing cavalry needs no further elaboration. They are very powerful beings and cannot be easily blocked by introspective soldiers and horses. Although the siege of the city the day before yesterday,
They suffered heavy casualties, but Chang Yu estimated that the Tatars still had at least 25,000 more fighting strength.
Twenty-five thousand looked like a big difference compared to the nearly 100,000 troops he had cobbled together at the moment. But sometimes having too many people was just a waste of food. The 40,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp and the personal guards were just waving flags and shouting at best.
To fill the stage, it was completely vulnerable in front of the Qing cavalry formation.
At this time, the only people under his command who could fight the Tatars were Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, whose combined strength was less than 30,000. Even the cavalry of Jinwu Guard and Tengxiang Guard could only assist.
However, Gyeonggi Province is located in the North China Plain, which is very suitable for cavalry field battles. This made the Qing army, which was already good at cavalry and archery, even more powerful and invincible wherever the blade pointed.
Chang Yu had experienced the cavalry power of the Qing army outside the Pass. Although Dorgon was beaten by him in the first battle at Ningyuan and fled in embarrassment, at that time he had the help of Wu Sangui's 30,000 Guanning cavalry, and also took advantage of the various terrains of the surrounding mountains and rivers.
There were various insidious moves in and out, and at the same time the firepower of the Shenji Battalion was supported. In the end, it was a narrow victory with large numbers of troops, favorable geographical location and insidious moves.
Although there are many troops on hand at the moment, none of them can match the combat power of Guan Ning's cavalry. Secondly, there is no danger to defend and ambush in Yima Pingchuan. In the end, they can only open up the formation and confront others head-on. It is no wonder that Chang Yu and others have been worried.
Chang Yu couldn't accept it and couldn't do it even if he was not sure of victory but had to fight. Chang Yu could only watch helplessly while allowing the Tatars to cause harm in the country.
Fight, must fight!
Everyone came to an agreement and finally came up with a preliminary plan. The frontal losses would be heavy, so it would be better to enlarge the battle circle, chase and intercept them from all directions, make them unable to think about the front and rear, and attack them separately.
At the same time, Tang Tong and Ma Ke were ordered to merge with Li Yan and Zhou Yu Jicheng to disperse the Tatar forces. The Gongzi camp did not directly participate in the battle. The eunuchs in the camp were decentralized and assigned to lead the troops in the Guards.
Ji Jike ordered Tang Potian to command the personal guards, Tu Yuan's Black Tiger Camp commanded the troops of the Beijing camp, Chang Yu personally led the Jinwu Guard and Tengxiang Guard, and Shi Kefa and Wang Jiayan were responsible for the logistics.
Obviously, Chang Yu decided to train his troops in this battle and use training as battle.
It was late at night, and several military orders were sent from the Dongchang Yamen to various military camps, and troops would be sent out of the city in the morning. After the wine and dinner were about to disperse, everyone was so heroic that they wanted to fight the Tatar soldiers. At this time, the palace
The emperor summoned Chang Yu into the palace urgently.
It is said that the Imperial City was closed at this time, and something urgent must have happened to send someone to summon him. Chang Yu did not dare to neglect, and hurried to the Imperial City. He was thinking about what happened along the way. It couldn't be Kun.
What happened to Princess Xing might be exposed, that would be very bad.
Unexpectedly, after entering the Palace of Qianqing, Emperor Chongzhen asked directly: "Why did you lose Tongzhou? I wonder if you will tell me?" Chang Yu was startled, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly: "It was already late when I found out, thinking that the palace gate was already closed."
I didn’t come to disturb the Emperor’s peace, and I had other things to do at hand at that time, so I thought I would report to the Emperor early tomorrow morning.”
"Disturbing my peace? When have I ever been peaceful?" Emperor Chongzhen was angry because Tongzhou was lost: "Didn't you say that the Tatars will only plunder and not attack the city in the future? Why did they destroy Tongzhou as soon as they left?"
?”
"Your Majesty, Dorgon's head was bruised and bloody in the capital city. He is confident and his morale is low. The army needs supplies. It is necessary to take some action. Tongzhou City is small and unguarded, and it is expected that it will be defeated by the enemy.
, It does not affect the overall situation, it just hurts the people of Tongzhou." While Chang Yu comforted Emperor Chongzhen, he guessed that the imperial city had been closed when he got the information. Who passed the news to the palace?
After finally calming down Emperor Chongzhen's anger, he said some more words and learned that Chang Yu had mobilized people from all over the capital to prepare to leave the city to chase the enemy tomorrow. Emperor Chongzhen was so excited and nervous that he paced back and forth in the palace and rubbed his hands: "
Okay, okay, you must give me a good beating, a hard beating, and break Dorgon's legs..."
When he came out of the palace, it was already past midnight. Chang Yu did not stay in the palace to rest for the night. He was worried that it would be inconvenient to contact him if there was a sudden situation outside, so he decided to leave the palace and go to Waidongchang Yamen.
Dozens of soldiers were guarding a carriage outside Donghua Gate. When Chang Yu came out, Chen Suole, the leader of the guards on duty, came over and whispered: "Factory Supervisor, Master Qiao and Song Nuxia are missing."
Missing? Chang Yu was startled for a moment, then thought of something, smiled slightly and said: "It's not missing, it's just something I asked them to handle, so there's no need to investigate."
Qiao Sanxiu and Song Luoyu will not disappear. They are not only Chang Yu's personal bodyguards but also Huangfu's nursing home. At this time, they should have picked up Qiao Sanxiu's wife and daughter to be resettled in Huangfu. It's just that the Huangfu's secrets cannot be solved.
The publicity made Chen Suole and others think something had happened.
After hearing what he said, Chen Suole said it was inconvenient to ask any more questions, and escorted Chang Yu into the car back to the Yamen.
