An acquaintance was Kong Youde. When Azig saw him standing there, not being tied up or being held in custody, he knew that he must have surrendered to the Ming army.
It was the same, and he suddenly realized why the Ming cavalry caught up so quickly!
When he thought of this, Azig immediately shouted angrily at Kong Youde: "If you dare to betray the Qing Dynasty, will your children's lives be taken away?"
When Kong Youde heard this, he immediately shouted angrily: "I am originally a Han from Liaodong, and many of my fellow villagers in my hometown, as well as my father, mother, and brothers, were killed by you. I have an sworn hatred for you Jianhu people."
!”
Having said this, he glanced at Du Yinxi secretly, and then quickly added: "It was only because I was forced to have no choice, that I temporarily took refuge in your Jianlu. If there is a chance, I and you Jianlu will have different grievances."
, I have rebelled against you a long time ago. Now that I have the opportunity, even if it will harm my children, I will seize the opportunity to rebel against you as a captive to avenge the sworn hatred of the past!"
When he spoke, he spoke righteously, as if he had taken refuge in Jianlu and worked for Jianlu, but he was really just pretending.
However, Du Yinxi is a scholar, and he is actually very aware of the frivolous nature of these warriors.
He estimated that at the beginning, Kong Youde was indeed hated by his country and family, so he followed Mao Wenlong and Jianlu. Even if the conditions were difficult, he did not say that he surrendered to the enemy.
Only later, he was indeed forced. When faced with the threat of death, he finally chose to surrender to the enemy.
But this time, he was abandoned by Jianlu. If he really had to follow Jianlu's arrangements, he would definitely die.
Therefore, Kong Youde was afraid again. Even if his children's lives were threatened, he could no longer care about it. He contacted the court immediately and told Azig's escape. Therefore,
, the imperial cavalry could pursue them immediately.
In short, it was because Kong Youde was greedy for life and afraid of death that he acted like this!
However, Du Yinxi did not expose Kong Youde's righteous words now.
Compared with other Ming officials, he had a higher vision. In the war against the captives, he focused on the entire Liaodong war situation.
Firstly, it was Kong Youde who took the initiative to contact him and betrayed Azige and others, which was indeed a meritorious service.
Secondly, and more importantly, Kong Youde's surrender helped Du Yinxi understand the internal situation of Jianlu in Liaodong, and he could use him as a horse bone to divide the forces of Jianlu.
Once this matter spreads to Jianlu in Liaodong, Jianlu will definitely be suspicious of the Han people who surrendered; even if not, those Han people will also suspect that Jianlu will be suspicious of them.
In short, closing down Kong Youde can prevent Jianlu from being twisted into a rope. This is the result Du Yinxi wants.
Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen had originally decreed that among the Han people in Liaodong, only one Hong Chengchou would not be pardoned. There was also a man named Fan Wencheng who had never heard of him, and he would not be pardoned.
Fan Wencheng ignored that and just talked about Hong Chengchou. Du Yinxi probably guessed that the reason why Emperor Chongzhen did not pardon Hong Chengchou was probably because the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Hong Chengchou surrendered to Jianlu, which hurt Emperor Chongzhen's heart too much.
After Hong Chengchou was defeated in the war, even if he did not die for his country, he followed Su Wu's example of shepherding sheep. If this matter was reported back to the pass, Emperor Chongzhen would feel that he was not wrong about Hong Chengchou.
However, Hong Chengchou surrendered to Jianlu and showed no integrity.
Emperor Chongzhen could forgive the warriors for surrendering to the captives. After all, everyone thought that the warriors were vulgar and did not understand etiquette. But as for the literati, such as Hong Chengchou, a feudal official and one of the most trusted civil servants of Emperor Chongzhen, they were in vain
The Book of Sages is so disappointing!
Du Yinxi was thinking about it when he heard that Azig had ignored Kong Youde, looked at another person, and shouted angrily: "Kong Youde has enmity with our Qing Dynasty, and you, you are Niu Hulu
· Turge, the eighth son of Edu Yidu, the first of the five founding ministers of the Qing Dynasty, you also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty?"
Azig's second acquaintance was Turge, who was guarding the central front post of Guangning under his military orders.
At this time, after hearing Azig's angry shouting, Turg lowered his head, as red as a monkey's butt, and did not dare to answer Azig's question.
His background is truly genuine, so what other reasons are there for him to be similar to Kong Youde? There is only one reason: he is just afraid of death!
When Du Yinxi heard this, he knew without a doubt that the person in front of him was indeed Aisin Gioro Azige without even asking.
So, when he was about to speak, suddenly Turge, who had his head lowered, suddenly raised his head, looked at Azig and persuaded: "Your Highness, I have seen the Ming army during the battle of Jizhou.
Awesome; although I am still a little unconvinced, but this time, I am already sure that our Qing Dynasty cannot defeat the Ming army. Rather than being exterminated by the Ming army, it is better to surrender to the Ming army as soon as possible! I advise you,
It’s also down!”
"Bah!" Upon hearing this, Azig became furious and spat at Turg.
At this time, in his eyes, Turge was even more maddening than Kong Youde, the kind that made him gnash his teeth with hatred.
Gushan Ezhen, a dignified man of the Qing Dynasty, not only surrendered to the Ming army, but he actually dared to persuade him to surrender in the name of preserving his ethnic group!
When Du Yinxi saw this scene, he waved people to take Azig down, and when he was about to speak, suddenly, Ning Yuan's general Yuan Shangren hurried over and reported to him: "The last general's men will not be collected at night.
I can't beat Jinzhou's Jianlu Tanma, so I beg you to send some cavalry to support me!"
When the Ningyuan sniper battle took place, there was a lot of commotion. Jianlu from Jinzhou sent scouts to Ningyuan to investigate.
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty set out from Shanhaiguan and marched in full force. They arrived at the front guard one day and did not have a good rest. The next day they pursued them wildly and went to Ningyuan to join the battle.
It is more than two hundred miles in total. Both people and horses need to rest. If people are relatively resistant to fatigue and can actually endure it, then the horses must rest after being used like this. Otherwise, there will be so many
The war horse will be easily disabled.
Therefore, at the end of the Battle of Ningyuan, the Ming Dynasty cavalry rested in Ningyuan and did not set off to Jinzhou.
Another reason is to wait for the infantry to catch up before we can attack Jinzhou.
Under such circumstances, it was Ye Bushou under Ningyuan's general Yuan Shangren who was responsible for driving out the Jianlu and spying on Jinzhou's Jianlu forces.
As a result, in less than three days, Yuan Shangren's men were unable to resist the Jinzhou Jianlu raids without stopping at night, and actually made their commander-in-chief risk his life and ask the Governor for help.
It can be seen from this that either Yuan Shangren's Ye Bu Sui is too weak, or Jinzhou Jianlu's Tan Ma is too strong!
Du Yinxi heard this, thought for a moment, and then asked: "What is the situation of Jianlu in Jinzhou now?"
Yuan Shangren was a little embarrassed after hearing this. After hesitating for a while, he replied to Du Yinxi: "Jianlu's spying was too good. Not only did Ye Bushou, the general's subordinate, fail to spy on the situation in Jinzhou, but today,
Jianlu Tanma suddenly went crazy, and even forced the general's men to stay at night, and had to retreat to the area of Ningyuan Zhongzuo Station, so they did not dare to pursue him again!"
Between Ningyuan and Jinzhou, there were originally two guard posts and one post station; in order, they were Ningyuan Zhongzuo Post, Xingshan Post and Guangning Zhongtun Post, which is the closest to Jinzhou, that is, Songshan Fort.
Jianlu's scouts and horses all reached Ningyuan's Zhongzuo Station, which was actually very close to Ningyuan.
When Du Yinxi heard this, he couldn't help but stare at Yuan Shangren for a while. After staring at him and lowering his head, Du Yinxi suddenly said: "Forget it, your department is ready to be reorganized. There is no need to go to war for the time being!"
At this time, he finally understood that an army that had not been reorganized by the imperial court was really unable to take action.
"I will obey your orders!" Yuan Shangren was a little reluctant to hear the Governor's words, but he responded helplessly.
The imperial court has a strong army here, even if it is waving flags and shouting from the side, such as the previous battle of Ningyuan, it still has some merit.
After this, Jinzhou will be conquered. Judging from the strength of the imperial army that has arrived in Ningyuan, Yuan Shangren feels that it is not difficult to conquer Jinzhou.
In this way, if he keeps waving flags and shouting from the side, he will probably be able to drink some soup again.
Unexpectedly, after a scouting battle, he was exposed.
Although it is said that his combat effectiveness will be greatly improved if he is no longer required to build captives and undergo reorganization, but he will not be able to have the final say in the army in the future, and he will probably not be able to drink the water of the Battle of Jinzhou.
To be honest, Yuan Shangren was really confused at this time.
Du Yinxi ignored him and turned to look at Zhou Yuji. His most trusted military commander said: "The cavalry must be almost rested now. It's up to you to send Jianlu Tanma back to Jinzhou without stopping at night."
Tomorrow the cavalry will set off first, followed by the infantry and fleet. After we capture Jinzhou, have a good year!"
It is now the end of October, and there is not much time left before the New Year. The capture of Jinzhou is just a New Year's gift to the emperor!
Zhou Yuji naturally knew Du Yinxi's intention, and it was he who proposed the idea of attacking Jinzhou at that time.
Therefore, Zhou Yuji naturally said nothing and immediately responded with clasped fists: "I will obey your orders!"
Later, Du Yinxi formally held a military meeting about the upcoming Battle of Jinzhou. Among them, he asked Kong Youde and Turge, and they both answered every question. Kong Youde even took the initiative to add a lot of information.
.
Therefore, although he did not spy on the military situation in Jinzhou all night, Du Yinxi also knew everything about the situation in Jinzhou.
There are still about 30,000 Jianlu in Jinzhou, but most of these are infantry, and there are also some craftsmen, wrappers, etc. who accompany the army. As for the cavalry, most of them have been assigned to Azig, and now they have
Gone.
It is basically impossible for the enemy to defend Jinzhou like this!
After the military meeting ended, all ministries followed the military meeting and prepared for the next battle: the Battle of Jinzhou!
