Chapter 888: Who is it
Zhu Cunji is the king of Qin in Xi'an (the history of the Ming Dynasty mistakenly took Zhu Cunshu as him, in fact, Zhu Cunji's brother died of illness as early as the second year of Chongzhen, and it was not until 1978 that his tomb was discovered) surrendered after Li Zicheng broke through Xi'an last year, and was also named a general.
He was also the only one among the vassal kings who voluntarily surrendered to Li Zicheng, and the only one who was not killed by the thief army (only temporarily, although Li Zicheng was defeated in Beijing and returned to Xi'an on the road, he was killed)
At this time, Zhu Youdi mentioned such a stubble, which couldn't help but make people think too much.
In fact, he thinks a little too much, he is timid by nature like a mouse, after the Qing army entered the customs in history, there will be a Ming general who asked him to pull the flag against the Qing Dynasty, he didn't dare, he thought that surrender could save his breath......
Previously, Chang Yu guarded against Li Shiyuan when he entered the city, and deliberately took him away under the pretext of going out of the city, and he also knew that Zhu Youdi was timid and even coaxed and frightened, so he was determined to stick to it.
But as soon as the little eunuch, the Dinghai Divine Needle, left, and the Qing army really called, he panicked, and the six gods had no master, so he thought about whether he could surrender to save his life and protect the palace.
I have to say that Chang Yu has a foresight, if he is not in a hurry to enter the city before the Qing army, with Li Shiyuan's heart and King Heng's timidity, when the Qing army of tens of thousands of troops besieged the city, the two of them will vote together.
"What's the difference?" Zhu Youdi asked sideways, I don't know if he asked knowingly, or if he was stupid.
"Lord, civil strife and foreign invasion are completely different, the thief army wants to fight for the world, and the surrender of the vassal king can be used, but the Tartars enter the customs just to burn and plunder, the year before last, the Yanzhou city broke the Lu king's lineage and almost died, and in the twelfth year of the city of Jinan, the German king Zhu Youshu and his son were captured and their whereabouts are unknown...... is immortal, the dignified Ming vassal king was dragged to that bitter cold land to be a lowly minion, such a great humiliation is better than death......" Shen Chengde said with a sad face: "The prince must also suffer that humiliation......"
Zhu Youdi couldn't help but shudder and shut up.
"Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Tartar is surrendered to you, the property is lost and the foundation is not destroyed, and you are not even taken captive, but has the prince ever thought that after the Tartar leaves, how will the court punish him? The lightest ones are all cut and ruined! Shen Chengde said bitterly, the prince's chief Shi was sent by the imperial court to monitor the vassal king, but in the end he would become the confidant of the vassal king, and his words were really from the bottom of his heart.
"This king just asked casually with curiosity, and he didn't mean anything else, why should Changshi be so nervous" Zhu Youdi was obviously scared, but he didn't admit that he had the heart to surrender, and pretended to be nothing.
"There is no best, the prince still puts his mind on defending the city, although the Tartar is violent, but since the little eunuch can break into such a big name, he has some means, we don't need to be too pessimistic at this time," Shen Chengde reassured.
Zhu Youdi nodded, and was about to say something, when the housekeeper hurried from outside: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, reinforcements are coming......
Although yesterday's battle was badly damaged, many people lost their loved ones, but they don't have much time to grieve, at least not now, the Tartar army is eyeing the outside and can launch a fierce attack at any time, and they must seize the time to consolidate the city defense!
From early in the morning, the house began to be demolished to transport war materials to the city, until noon the city was full again, Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu inspected back and forth on the Simen City to check whether there were any mistakes, and the defenders of the north city came with news: reinforcements were coming.
Jia Waixiong Daxi and Lao Jiu rushed to Beicheng, and saw from afar that most of the soldiers and horses were coming slowly on the west bank of the Yang River, which must be the little eunuch coming to help.
It's just that soon the joy gradually faded, and his face became solemn, because the Qing army that was covering the sky and the sun was also coming due north, and Jia Waixiong knew that it was the baggage camp of the Qing army: the captured Ming people, livestock, grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry.
The Qing army on the east bank of the Beiyang River was also gathering, some from the main camp and some from the north along the river to the south, it was obvious that they could not let the Ming army cross the river and approach Qingzhou City.
"Will you fight today?" Lao Jiu looked up at the sky and was still gloomy, but it was not as heavy as yesterday's, and there were not so many dark clouds, but somehow he felt more depressed, perhaps it was the confrontation across the river that made the atmosphere tense and oppressive.
"No!" Jia Waixiong shook his head, although the two armies are tense, they will never fight easily, the reason is very simple, it is meaningless!
For the Ming army, the best time to do it is, of course, when the Qing army is attacking the city, and the first Qing army, I am not ready to attack the city now, and the idle egg hurts to start a fight with you and waste your energy.
Of course, there is another point that Jia Waixiong didn't expect, the Ming army suddenly changed its strategy and took the initiative to disrupt the rhythm, which made Dolgon very depressed and was thinking about countermeasures!
Originally, he wanted to hang the Ming army with a baggage battalion, and then let Shang Kexi and others let go of their hands to attack Qingzhou City.
But how do you know that the wishful thinking fell apart, and there was an urgent report from spies early in the morning, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ming army advanced from the camp in Linzi to Qingzhou, which made Dolgon suddenly taken aback, why did they suddenly take the initiative, what did they mean by sending troops at this time?
Although he couldn't figure out what the Ming army wanted to do, he must not let them cross the river, and second, he had to quickly pull out the camp and leave, there were too few troops here, and if he was far away from the army to protect and be attacked by sneak attack, it would be a big loss, and more importantly, he never knew where the infantry of the Ming army went.
Originally, I thought that there were no cavalry running fast and swaying behind, but three days have passed, and the spies still haven't found out where the tens of thousands of infantry of the Ming army have gone.
If it was in the past, since it couldn't be detected, it meant that it didn't come, so there was no need to worry too much, but the shadow of the little eunuch's well rope was too big, and the ghost knew where the soldiers and horses were hidden, and who knew where they would suddenly come from.
Yes, since people don't take the bait, let's not think about hanging others, it would be a shame to be attacked again, Dolgon immediately ordered the baggage battalion to open and pull out the monk Kexi Nikan to converge, and ordered Kong Youde and Shang Kexi to send troops to intercept the Ming army, and they must not be allowed to cross the river.
But this is only a temporary strategy, and what makes Dolgon a headache is that if he wants to break through Qingzhou City in one fell swoop in the fastest time, he must transfer more troops, even if there is cannon fodder to fill the pit, there must be 10,000 people.
But at this time, he only had more than 20,000 regular troops, and in addition to transferring 10,000 people to attack the city, he also had to leave some guards to guard the baggage camp, and in this way, he only had more than 10,000 troops to prevent the Ming army from crossing the river.
But there are more than 30,000 on the Ming army's side, can they stop it?
Although his cavalry of the Qing Dynasty has absolute confidence, in case ......
The consequence is very likely to be empty at both ends, Qingzhou City has not been defeated, and this side has not been able to stop it.
Hey, it hurts in the skull.
Zhu Youdi landed in the city with a happy face: "The reinforcements from the factory governor are here, but how many are coming......
Oh, Jia Waixiong raised his hand and pointed due west, Zhu Youdi looked at the Beiyang River more than ten miles away, only to see the black oppressive covering the sky and the sun, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance: "Oh my God, there are so many 100,000 people,,, Qingzhou City has been saved......"
"Lord Wang, you can see clearly that the white strip is the Beiyang River, the west is about 30,000 of our soldiers and horses, and the here is about 20,000 Tartars" Lao Jiu whispered peace next to him, and raised his hand to the north: "You look at the 20,000 or 30,000 Ming people over there, and it is not an exagger......ation to say that they are enemy soldiers at this time."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Youdi let out a sigh, his legs were weak and he almost fell, and the family behind him hurriedly held him up: "Why are there so many tartars!" ”
"Lord Wang, don't be fooled by these illusions, those cannon fodder are unbearable, there are only more than 20,000 regular soldiers and horses with Tartars, and we have 30,000 to really do it, and it's hard to say who loses and who wins......" Jia Waixiong really wanted to appease a few words, and at this time a guard shouted: "There is a fight in the west."
Everyone was shocked, there has always been a small group of Qing troops wandering around the city, could it be that they still want to sneak attack the city?
It's unlikely, what kind of waves can such a little person make, so he hurriedly ran to the west with doubts, and then looked due south, but saw that there were dozens of people fighting on the bank of the Nanyang River outside the West City Gate.
Who is this, Jia Waixiong and the others were very puzzled, so they ran towards the west gate.
