Section 204 The change of self
Although Yan Changwu reminded him that Yuan Chonghuan also wrote to the emperor and asked him to strengthen the defense of Longjing Pass, Da'ankou and other passes, history has its great inertia.
At about eleven o'clock that day, the gate of Longjing was opened, and the mules and horses of the largest "Geely Firm" in the city were leaving the customs. (Longjing Pass: It is not far to the northeast of Zunhua City, and the northeast of Beiping is Zunhua City)
As long as the Mongols do not come to invade, the business with them will not be interrupted, even if the front line of Liaoxi is fighting with the Jurchens to the death, Longjing Pass's business with the Mongols has always been continuous.
And those businesses are mixed with ironware, tea, salt, and grain!
Whether it was accepted by the people in full, or given to someone, it is worth putting a question mark!
Previously, because a certain important minister of the imperial court said that someone was eating inside and outside here, the imperial court specially sent someone to check, and it was found that everything met the requirements of the procedures...... There is no evidence, and there is no follow-up!
The Geely firm has already checked the top and bottom, and the officers and soldiers of the gate have even saved the steps of inspection, so they waved and let them go.
Their horsemen were so large that they blocked the gates.
Suddenly, the road to the north was filled with smoke and dust, and a large number of people and horses poured in like a sea of people.
Gradually approaching the city, the vast expanse was full of people, and flags fluttered on the flat ground like clouds.
Someone saw the Mongol banner, but then!
"It's the North Captive!" Someone shouted bitterly.
"The Jurchens are here!"
"Quick, close the gates!"
Chickens fly and dogs jump, how can you turn off if you want to,
The war horses roared and rushed madly, and the ugly and vicious faces of the Jurchens could be seen.
By this time the gates of the city were in chaos, and the people outside were desperately fleeing back, blocking the gates, and the caravans and horses were equipped with goods...... The people of the Geely firm are spies!
They spread rumors everywhere in the city, shouting: "Oh no, the Jurchens are here, everyone flee!" ”
In order to deceive people's minds, they also blocked a large number of people at the door, and where would the officers and soldiers have a chance to close the door for a while.
The opportunity was fleeting, and the Jurchen cavalry had no resistance and went straight to seize the city!
The head of the city crackled and released arrows, but how could it be a problem!
As the first enemy chief, his body was like an iron tower, his whole body was draped, and his horse was like a beast, and he grabbed a hard bow, and the arrow on the bowstring was the size of a child's fist!
He took three arrows and shot them at the wall.
As fast as lightning, three screams in a row, I can't hide!
This chief is none other than the northern general Azig, the twelfth cub born to the old wild boar Pinurhachi, the brother of Dorgon, and the mother of the eldest concubine Abahai.
He was brave and good at fighting, but he lacked wisdom and had a rough personality, and he was a good hand at fighting.
Frightened, the Ming army, who originally stepped on the battlements and shot arrows down, retracted their heads and watched the Jurchen cavalry rush to the city gate!
…… Seeing this, the spies removed the barricades and released the Jurchen cavalry to quickly control the inside and outside of the city gate. It was only a short time before and after what happened, and the city gate of Longjing Pass, an important town, had fallen into the hands of the Jurchens, and it was almost effortless.
"Kill!" After the Jurchen cavalry entered the city, they rushed forward bravely, and the city was in chaos.
An hour later, the Jurchens took control of Longjing Pass, and then Azig did not stop and continued to attack, going straight to Hanerzhuang City!
Longjing Pass, the attention of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was taken into account, and the defense line was strengthened and the number of soldiers increased, but after all, it could not change the outcome of Xiongcheng.
After the Jin army attacked the city, they used more spies, and they should cooperate with the outside and get it easily.
……
The same thing happened in Da'ankou, and when the defenders of Da'ankou saw that the northern captives were so big, their liver and intestines were broken, and they scattered in a hurry.
It can be seen that the loss of ground lies in the loss of the people's hearts, and the dispersion of the army's hearts!
In late October 1629, Huang Taiji led about 100,000 Houjin soldiers and Mongolian soldiers to avoid Shanhaiguan, detour through the Mongolian Harashen Division, and raid Da'ankou, Longjing Pass, and Malanyu on the border passes of the Great Wall west of Xifengkou, and enter the interior.
Within a day, the alarm entered Beiping, and the imperial court shook!
The history is called "the change of oneself!" ”
Chongzhen had previously intended to strengthen the defense of the Western Front, but the defense did not work, but the news came very quickly, and the imperial court immediately knew that the major event of the loss of Zhuguan had occurred.
At the court meeting, the ministers attacked the superintendent Yuan Chonghuan, his title is the Jiliao Governor, managing Jizhen Liao Town, Denglai Town, Tianjin Weisan Town, and then Jin broke through the Xifengkou and later sneaked through the Jimen guarded by Yuan Chonghuan himself, all belong to the Jizhen defense area, Yuan Chonghuan can hardly escape the blame!
The ministers are excited, and they say that they will kill Yuan Chonghuan and punish their nine clans to thank the world!
However, some ministers said that this was the responsibility of Liu Ce, the prime minister of Jiliao, Wang Yuanya, the governor, and Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of Jizhen.
Yuan Chonghuan once formally sent a letter to Emperor Chongzhen, saying: "If Shuntian and other places, then listen to the governor and take care of the government, and the ministers dare not overstep the line and discuss it." (On May 16 of the second year of Chongzhen, he went to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to submit the copy of "Qin Ordered to Go Out of the Town, Border Supervisor, Jiliao and Other Places, and Yuan Chonghuan, the Minister of the Military Department, entitled "Begging for Redundant Officials to Relieve the Country, etc.") It is very clear that Jimen is relatively weak and should be guarded by heavy troops.
Not only that, Yuan Chonghuan played another note, saying: "But Jimen Lingjing is on his shoulders, and the troops are not added." In case he becomes a guide and is a slave, there will be an unknowable person. (Because the Ningjin defense line was strong, Huang Taiji could not break through, so he would use Mongolia as a guide to break through the Great Wall and threaten Beijing.) )
Moreover!
In September, after Yuan Chonghuan, the Jin soldiers wanted to go west (to attack to the west), so they first asked to be stationed in Ningyuan to increase the gate (transfer troops from Ningyuan to the west), and then sent the general Xie Shangzheng and others to prepare. Shuntian Governor Wang Yuanya said: "This false alarm! ”
Wang Yuanya sent his people back, but the Houjin soldiers did not dispatch at that time.
Chonghuan played: "The ministers guard Ningyuan, Kou was created by the ministers, and he will never dare to violate the ministers' realm." Only Zunhua has a weak garrison along the way, and it is appropriate to set up a regiment to train the general army there."
Then the general Wang Wei was used as the army stationed in the west, and the military department was impeached by Wang Wei's new ministry and refused to let him go, and Wang Wei failed to enter the pass.
……
In the midst of the different opinions, an old minister stood up and said sharply: "The cavalry of the northern captives can reach the capital division in three days for a hundred miles, and the ministers are still attacking, but they don't know that the sword of the northern captives is coming!" ”
His appearance was magnificent, his beard was hard and open like a halberd, and his voice was so thick that the hall shook and felt shaking.
Everyone looked at it, it was the emperor Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong, the word Zhizhi, the number Kaiyang, the north of Gaoyang (now Hebei) in Baoding. He was not only a military strategist and patriot in the late Ming Dynasty, but also an educator, scholar and poet. He was the teacher of Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xizong (Emperor of the Apocalypse, the elder brother of Emperor Chongzhen), and the leader of the literary world in the late Ming Dynasty. He once served as the secretary of the military department, the governor of Liaodong, and the scholar of Dongge University.
In the Ming and Houjin battles were defeated, the border situation was critical, Sun Chengzong replaced Wang Zaijin as the Jiliao Governor, built the Guanningjin defense line, led the army of 110,000, recovered more than 400 miles of lost land, selected and trained a group of civil and military generals such as Ma Shilong, Yuan Chonghuan, etc., built nine large cities, more than 40 small castles, more than 5,000 hectares of tuntian, resettled nearly one million war refugees, forced Nurhachi to retreat 700 miles, because of his outstanding merits, he was jealous of Wei Zhongxian, resigned and returned to his hometown.
Now Huang Taiji bypassed the Guanning Jin defense line and entered the Great Wall, the Beijing division was in a hurry, and it was at the critical moment, Sun Chengzong was edicted to use it, and he went to the palace to discuss politics.
His qualifications were there, and the ministers closed their voices, listening to him not hurry, and said three strategies:
First, the Beijing division prepared for war, closed the city gates, and the whole city was under martial law, as were the surrounding towns;
second, summon Yuan Chonghuan back to the division to rescue;
Three times the edict of the king of Qin, the edict ordered all the soldiers and horses to go to the king of Beijing as soon as possible.
As for whose responsibility it is, wait until the battle is over!
This is an old plan, Chongzhen adopted his opinion, issued edicts one after another, and implemented it according to his words.
No matter what, if someone hits your heart, it's all miserable!
