Shenyang, Liaodong, was renamed Shengjing by the Jianru people and set as the seat of the slave chiefs.
Logically speaking, it should be the most prosperous place in Liaodong.
However, if people who have passed through the customs come here and see the situation here, I am afraid they will sigh, it turns out that it is just like this!
At this time, I saw a group of people on horseback arriving outside Shenyang City. They looked dusty, obviously they had traveled a long way. It can be seen from the clothes of most of them, especially the hair on their heads. Come out, they are not money rats, they should not be Jianlu.
All of them were exhausted, and they didn't care about the prosperity of Shenyang City. They just saw the city from a distance, and they were all obviously relieved.
The only one among these teams, Money Rat Tail, turned to the leader and said, "Fan Dong's family will arrive in Shengjing soon!"
This Fan Dong family is none other than Fan Yongdou who fled Zhangjiakou. The other three people are Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, and Wang Dayu. As for the rest, they are their families and servants.
At this time, when Fan Yongdou heard what Jianlu said, he quickly took out an ingot of broken silver and said: "It's been a hard journey!"
This Jianlu was sent by Jianlu from the border gate to bring them to Shenyang. Seeing that Fan Yongdou was on the road, he was also happy. After taking it immediately, he led Fan Yongdou and others to Shenyang City.
Along the way, from time to time there were wrappers in the fields and some Jianlu supervisors looked up at this group of people. They were all a little surprised to see that such a group of people was not money rats.
In the land of Liaodong, it is almost impossible to see anyone who is not a money rat. Looking at them, they don't look like people who were plundered by the Jianbu, which is even more strange.
With the leader Jianlu there, the group was not questioned. Even when they arrived at the city gate, after the leader Jianlu revealed his identity, the group quickly entered Shenyang City without any trouble.
When we arrived in the city, there were more pedestrians on the road, and this group of people attracted even more attention.
One of the Jianlu children saw it and shouted loudly: "Look, these look like a group of dogs!"
Hearing this, the Jianlu people nearby laughed loudly.
They didn't know the idiom, but they could tell that they were a group of panic-stricken dogs!
Fan Yongdou understood what Jianlu said, but pretended not to understand, and followed that Jianlu to the palace of Jianlu.
Not long after, the slave chief Huang Taiji, who was handling government affairs, heard that Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu had arrived. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly issued an order to summon them.
In the Chongzheng Hall, a group of slave chiefs all knew Fan Yongdou and others because they had interacted with them more or less before.
Even Prince Duduo of Heshuoyu, who looked down upon Mingren the most, showed joy. Because he knew that the arrival of people like Fan Yongdou always brought necessary military supplies and other things.
Therefore, this group of slave chiefs suspended their discussions and looked cheerfully outside the palace, waiting for Fan Yongdou and others to appear.
Those who are qualified to come to the Chongzheng Hall, that is, the four leaders, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, and Wang Dayu, are all in a state of embarrassment, which makes these slave chiefs look at each other in confusion and feel that this time seems different from the past. Same.
Sure enough, as soon as Fan Yongdou and the others entered the gate of Chongzheng Hall, they knelt on the ground with a bang, and then cried and said: "You must make the decision for your slaves! Wuwuwu..."
Slaves are not something that ordinary people can call themselves, that is, the four of them have made great contributions and are liked by the slave chief, so they have this qualification.
Huang Taiji, who was sitting in the main seat, showed a hint of surprise on his fat face, and immediately stretched out his hand to signal: "What happened, please get up and talk about it soon!"
Fan Yongdou and others did not get up, but knelt there and cried: "Your Majesty, the slaves worked for the Qing Dynasty and caused the disaster of annihilation. Now...only a few of us have escaped now!"
Thinking that everything was in vain and many family members were dead, Wang Dengku also cried and said: "Your Majesty, please send troops to avenge the slaves!"
"The Qing army is invincible, please send troops to avenge the slaves!" Jin Liangyu and Wang Dayu also cried.
When Huang Taiji and the other slave chiefs heard this, they immediately looked at each other. They never expected that the Ming Kingdom would actually attack them. Wasn't it good in the past?
When Fan Yongdou saw that Huang Taiji and the others were silent, he continued to cry: "Your Majesty, the dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty went crazy and killed the chief minister, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and even the Duke Cheng. In short, he ransacked his house.
The house was being searched, and the house was being searched all the time. In the court, all the officials were silent and very dissatisfied with the dog emperor. Moreover, bandits were raging in the Central Plains. They had already attacked Kaifeng twice, but the court was helpless. Now is a good time to enter the customs. The opportunity is gone.
Time lost will never come back again!”
He obviously knew that although the Qing Dynasty had just wiped out the main force of the Ming Dynasty, it was probably impossible for the Qing Dynasty to send troops to avenge them.
However, if the truth inside the pass was told and the Qing Dynasty could take advantage of it, then with the great talent and strategy of the Qing emperor, he might send troops to enter the pass.
At this time, he told the Qing emperor the news he had collected when he left the customs, so that the Qing emperor would like to hear it, thinking that the Qing army could avenge them.
At this time, they had forgotten that it was precisely because they had forgotten their ancestors and funded the establishment of the captives that they did not know how many families in the Ming Dynasty were destroyed inside and outside the pass!
When it comes to revenge, they are the ones who deserve revenge the most!
At this time, after he finished speaking, he looked at Huang Taiji with hope, hoping to see Huang Taiji overjoyed. The princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty in the Chongzheng Palace shouted excitedly and rushed into the pass.
However, to his surprise, this did not happen.
Slave Chief Huang Taiji only had a happy look on his face, and then the happy look quickly disappeared.
As soon as he saw this situation, Fan Yongdou knew that his request might be difficult to realize, and he immediately felt a little puzzled. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be!
While he was thinking about it, he heard Huang Taiji say kindly: "You have come all the way to Liaodong. You must be exhausted. Go and rest first!"
"Your Majesty, the main force of the Ming army has been destroyed, and the pass is in panic. It is a good time to enter the pass!" Jin Liangyu was a little disappointed when he heard this, so he added.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji's face suddenly became gloomy, and he immediately shouted: "Come on, send them to rest!"
Several people in yellow jackets heard this and immediately stepped forward.
When Fan Yongdou and others saw it, they felt a little embarrassed and did not dare to say anything more, so they had to retreat.
Watching them leave, Huang Taiji suddenly sighed in his heart.
Thinking that after the Battle of Songjin, the Ming Dynasty court would definitely be panicked, and doing these things would indeed be an opportunity to enter the border.
However, there are also hardships on the Qing side!
The Battle of Songjin was, on the surface, a great victory for the Qing Dynasty. It wiped out the main force of the Ming army, captured the four cities of Songshan, Jinzhou, Tashan, and Xingshan outside the Pass, and controlled the situation in the entire Jinning area.
But why didn’t the Qing Dynasty take the opportunity to seize Ningyuan again?
It was because in the Battle of Songjin, the Qing Dynasty also suffered heavy casualties and was no longer able to fight anymore.
In the Battle of Songjin, the Qing Dynasty not only died in battle, but also officers of the rank of Zuoling, and members of the clan died in the battle. What made the Qing army even more frightened was that Ming soldiers rushed to the vicinity of Dorgon and almost killed Dorgon.
Dorgon was saved from being killed thanks to the intervention of Lausa, the bravest man in the Qing Dynasty. However, the Qing Dynasty lacked Lausa, a second-grade general.
In the Battle of Songshan, Meile Ezhen Weng Adai died in battle; in the Battle of Jinzhou, facing Zu Dashou's infantry, six of the Eight Banners did not dare to fight with them and retreated. It was only thanks to Yangguli that he led his own banner to resist desperately.
Defeat occurs.
Later, Zu Dashou's infantry attacked again, trying to open the gap. The cavalry of three banners of the Eight Banners Army commanded by Dorgon and Haoge fled in fear of the battle. They relied on the escort to attack to stop the Ming army infantry. Afterwards, Dorgon and Haoge
He concealed the truth and refused to report it, and was fined by Huang Taiji.
Also, Xianghongqi suffered the most serious losses. Of the four senior generals, one was in command, two were deputy commanders, and one was in charge of the guard army. Three of them died, leaving only Ye Chen. And the reason why he did not die was because
It's because he actually led his troops to escape.
In addition, Ilden, the commander-in-chief with the white flag, was also wounded in many places.
And so on, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty did not really not want to take advantage of the victory to pursue Ningyuan and approach Shanhaiguan, but that it was really powerless and could no longer fight.
Fortunately, we won the battle in the end, otherwise civil strife would definitely break out within the Qing Dynasty.
In other words, the Qing Dynasty could not be defeated in a war. Once defeated, the hidden contradictions might become public.
Thinking about this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but think of another annoying thing.
The Battle of Songjin and the siege of the city lasted for about half a year, and almost all the food and grass accumulated by the Qing Dynasty were consumed. I originally expected that this year's harvest would be better, but unexpectedly, this year is the same as in previous years. Basically, if you rely on
With the harvest in the fields, it is estimated that many people in the Qing Dynasty will starve to death.
For the current plan, we can only enter the customs again to eat big money.
However, Huang Taiji himself knew very well that the land in the capital, or close to the northern Great Wall, had been robbed several times before, and he would not be able to get much food if he continued to rob it.
If you want to get more grain, there are only two ways. One is to wait for the grain from the Ming Dynasty to be transported to the north and then rob it; the other is to go to the south of the Ming Dynasty and continue to rob areas that have not been robbed.
However, civil strife continued in the Ming Dynasty. Who knows where in the south there is really food?
Moreover, the Qing Dynasty has only been resting for a few months. If possible, it still needs some time to rest and wait until the weather is cooler to avoid acclimatization.
Under these circumstances, Huang Taiji made a decision in his heart. There was no need to raise troops for the sake of these Shanxi merchants for the time being.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji got a headache again. Without these Shanxi merchants, the Qing Dynasty would become extremely short of you in terms of military supplies and information within the customs. Even the gold and silver jewelry stolen from the customs would not be enough.
