Chapter 610: Ending, Opening.
PS: Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass!
"Alas! Today's trend is gone! ”
Hong Chengchou, with the support of several pro-soldiers, had just stood firm on the saddle when he saw the scene of infighting between the two departments of Liaodong Town and Shanhai Town. The two teams of Ming troops fought hard, and the back and wings were constantly attacked by the soldiers and horses of the Liaodong anti-thieves, and in the distance, the soldiers and horses of the brigade rushed to this side, presumably Huang Taiji planned to open a gap here in Ma Ke and extinguish the last incense of the Liaodong Ming army!
The scene of flesh and blood flying made Inspector Hong dizzy for a while. But it turned out that the army that shirked when fighting the Liao thieves on the battlefield was so heroic and tenacious when fighting from the gangs.
The two teams of Ming troops fought each other, but gave Ao Bai and others a chance, hundreds of heavy armored cavalry took the lead, formed a sharp and arrow formation, drilled into the gap, and smashed a bloody road from the two Ming army formations, and went straight to Hong Chengchou's Chinese army.
The Chinese army of the Hong Inspector Division, whether it is from the equipment of the soldiers, the composition of the personnel, the carriages and horses of honor, is all known at a glance, and there is a lot of oil and water here! Aobai and Turge, the generals who fought with the Ming army, how did they not know that this was Hong Chengchou's Chinese army? Wave your head now!
Hearing the killing sound of the Liaodong rebels, Hong Chengchou almost fell off his horse. He knew that with the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers, once they rushed into the formation, it would be a dead army! Several of his own soldiers stepped forward to support the Governor and helped him onto his horse.
Hong Chengchou didn't care to say much, and he didn't have the firmness to come down and rely on the city of Guangning to deal with the thieves before retreating into the city. "Let's go! Go and meet General Cao! Surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, generals, staff and family members, he rushed westward in the midst of the chaos, that is, in the direction of Cao Bianjiao's camp.
Cao Bianjiao's troops were relatively elite in the Ming army in the past, and because they were all from the Guannei, they were all Han Chinese, so they were in this dangerous situation. All with a determination to fight to the death. I don't think there will be any variables.
The jujube horse under his crotch ran fast and steady, and under the escort of hundreds of cavalry troops, although he was fleeing for his life, he did not lose the demeanor and appearance of the superintendent. Hong Chengchou has been fighting horses for a long time and knows the importance of war horses for an army and a commander. Since arriving in Liaodong, Hong Chengchou has been paying attention to collecting and expanding the number of war horses in the army. For their own private mounts. It is even more cherished. once said to the guests on the left and right during a gossip after a banquet: "Horses, beautiful queens, don't leave for a day." "The shepherd chooses the best grooms for his mounts, and feeds them with shiny coats and full of fat. There were two Qing scholars who could compose poetry and a staff member who was born as a nobleman, who once wrote poems and praised this horse; There is also a Qing guest surnamed Cao was originally a Jiangnan painter, claiming to be a famous painter in the Tianbao period, after Cao Ba Cao, who was good at painting horses, he also specially took pictures of his horses, which were lifelike, which can be called expressive, and the title "Shenjun Map".
Warhorses that have been carefully raised for a long time. This is where it comes in handy. After walking a short distance, he bumped into a group of people head-on, who was the person sent by Cao Bianjiao to meet him.
"Where's your Lord Cao?!" Ignoring the set of etiquette, Hong Chengchou split his head and asked the general who came to answer. Today, at such a point, he had already considered the issue of martyrdom in his mind, so at this time, he really put life and death aside and was able to maintain his composure. However, if you can get some help from Cao Bianjiao. It's a blessing in the midst of misfortune.
"Back to the Governor, Lord Cao is fighting with the traitor Kong Youde in front. Cao Shuai's meaning is to ask the Inspector to move over, as long as Cao Dashuai opens a bloody road, our army will definitely be able to protect the Inspector! ”
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou's mind was greatly settled, and he could still trust the combat effectiveness of Cao Bianjiao's department. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is Qiu Futai now?" As soon as the words came out. I knew I had said the wrong thing at this time. That Qiu Minyang followed Wang Tingchen and others to march in, at this time, Wang Tingchen's headquarters had been defeated, and he was a scholar in this chaotic army. I'm afraid it's more than lucky!
Seeing that he couldn't answer left and right, his ears were full of shouts and killings. Hong Chengchou was in the air for a moment, looking eastward, but saw that several golden dragons were getting closer and closer to his side, and he could vaguely see that Ma Ke was leading his family to resist the Qing soldiers desperately.
Behind the Qing army, more and more banners and soldiers are gathering like a whirlwind, and the Mako here may not be able to support it for long.
"Kill Marco!" "Kill Marco!"
"Kill only Mako, and those who descend will not die!" Constantly listening to the stiff Liaodong accent Chinese shouting slogans and shouting about the goals of the Qing army, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel desolate in his heart.
He knew that he might not be able to escape, and the thought of killing himself flashed through his heart. Suddenly, there was a flower in front of him, but he saw Cao Bianjiao come to him, and said loudly: "Master Inspector, follow the end of the future!" The rebel Kong Youde's department is not the opponent of our army, there are already signs of collapse, and the last general will rush to kill him for a while, and he can be defeated! Don't delay at this point. The last general and Ma Shuai are fighting to the death to meet the enemy, please leave quickly! ”
Hong Chengchou said sadly: "I am the minister of the state, and today I can only fight to the death with all the kings and die in this city!" ”
"Your Excellency is an important minister of the country, if you can escape, you can still pack up your people and come back for revenge! ……”
Before Cao Bianjiao's words were finished, Ma Ke's troops over there could no longer resist the enemy, and there was a roar like a landslide, and the Qing soldiers came from several places like a tide, and the entire Shanhai Town suddenly fell into chaos.
Probably encouraged by the friendly army that had broken through Shanhai Town, Kong Youde's side also waved his military horses and pounced, and those soldiers of the Han army flag, in the shouts of officers at all levels, ran in small steps and ran in an extremely wide front and pressed over.
"I don't know what is dead or alive!" Cao Bianjiao snorted in his mouth, expressing his contempt for the Han military flag. If the Eight Banners Manchurian soldiers and horses, he Xiaocao is still a little more afraid, a group of rebellious thieves who have forgotten the surname of their ancestors, what is he afraid of?
The mouth also shouted like thunder: "Brothers, kill the thief with me!" ”
Immediately, he led the family soldiers who had been following him to urge their horses to rush towards the nearest Han army flag enemy soldiers.
Sure enough, under the impact of Cao Bianjiao's fierce and fearless death, those Han Army Banner Gunners who only had firecrackers in their hands and had no time to stab after a volley of volleys were immediately scattered by the horse team.
Seeing two or three columns of firecrackers running in front of his horse, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help grinning with joy, as long as he broke through the blocking line of these Han army flags. Kill to the periphery, the army can be reorganized a little, and fight and go, to Songshan! As long as you can escort the Inspector to Matsuyama, it won't be a problem!
Just as he was rushing to kill, the crowd suddenly emptied in front of him. A wide clearing flashed out.
Later in the open space, Kong Youde stood on horseback, and the Goshha and Bayara soldiers beside him were like stars holding the moon.
"Cao Bianjiao, your time of death has arrived!"
With a cruel laugh, the eight six-pounder cannons lined up in front of the formation spat out tongues of fire in unison, Cao Bianjiao only felt that his eyes were red, and he suddenly didn't know anything.
Cao Bianjiao's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers and horses in the town. Cao Bianjiao's subordinates immediately took the lead in dispersing. Many of the family members cried and shouted, "Lord Zongzhen is dead!" Lord Sojo is dead! "While riding his horse and scurrying around on the battlefield.
Hong Chengchou's immediate place also began to be chaotic, he was surrounded by the pro-soldiers and generals around him and rushed westward, and most of the pro-soldiers around him were scattered. Suddenly, a group of Qing soldiers suddenly rushed from behind, led by Turg!
"That's Hong Chengchou, the governor of the Ming Kingdom!" Someone knew Hong Chengchou's flag guard of honor and pointed it out to Turg to see, and Turg was immediately overjoyed if he could capture Hong Chengchou alive. His status among the Manchurian relatives has jumped a lot!
"Capture Hong Chengchou alive!"
"Capture Hong Chengchou alive!"
For a time, the entire city of Quang Ninh. The slogans of cheering to capture Hong Chengchou alive rang out one after another. Aobai, who was fighting fiercely with Ma Ke's subordinates, had a gleam in his eyes, and the Jurchen heavy sword in his hand kept waving, and his head and face were full of blood and flesh.
"Kill Marco! Kill Marco! ”
He just set his sights on the Marcoma general, who was getting closer and closer to him!
"Master Overseer, go! Resist for a while! ”
One of Hong Chengchou's subordinates led a hundred and ten brothers to rush forward and desperately resist the swarming Turg's troops. At the same time, some of the soldiers under Cao Bianjiao's subordinates also gathered under Hong Chengchou to fight. Fight the enemy against Turg's onslaught. Outside the west gate of Quang Ninh, it was a bloody scuffle!
"Master, let's go!" Inspector Hong's handsome servant and prostitute Jin'er, seeing that Hong Chengchou had been in love here, mistakenly thought that Hong Chengchou's war horse was weak, so he slammed the horse's buttocks. The jujube horse under Inspector Hong's crotch hurts. Rushed out with a single lunge!
But not a few feet away, the terrain suddenly lowered, forming a steep slope. The jujube horse that Hong Chengchou was riding was stabbed in the back of the buttocks, and it hurt but he couldn't help it, so he ran all the way, but he didn't notice the slope in front of him. When rushing down the steep slope, his front leg stumbled, and he immediately fell down, causing Hong Chengchou to fall from his horse to the ground. The servant Jin'er picked him up from the ground, and just ran a few steps, but unexpectedly, more than a dozen fast horses rushed in front of him shouting, and the sharp-eyed Liao thief cavalry found Hong Chengchou's clothes, knowing that this person was Hong Chengchou who the masters wanted to catch!
Immediately, he roared and rushed from below, hacking Jin'er to death with a knife, and several sharp blades were set up in the neck of Inspector Hong, firmly controlling him. At the same time, he killed and dispersed the few soldiers who protected him from breaking through.
Turge, who was struggling and trying to commit suicide under the escort of several Baya soldiers, looked up and down at Turge, who was struggling and trying to commit suicide, and muttered a few words to a Ming army soldier who had seen Hong Chengchou beside him, and motioned for him to identify whether it was a fake Xibei goods. The man looked up and down and confirmed that it was correct, it was Hong Chengchou, the secretary of the military department and the governor of Jiliao!
The entire battlefield was immediately filled with a Manchurian voice that shouted in victory: "Caught!" Caught! Hong Chengchou was caught by Turge's forehead! ”
Hong Chengchou was defeated and captured, but Ma Ke persevered to the end, and was surrounded by Ao Bai with more than a thousand elite regiments with yellow flags to fight to the death.
In the end, seeing that the family members around him fell one by one on the battlefield where flesh and blood were piled up, and there was no hope of survival, Ma Ke simply laughed wildly, "Lao Tzu has eaten and drunk in his life." Crisscrossing the north and south, killing countless people, even the wife of your Tartar leader Huang Taiji was killed by Lao Tzu under the crotch of Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu's life is worth it! ”
After roaring, he crossed the long knife in his hand and led his neck to kill himself.
A group of Baya soldiers rushed up and cut off Mako's head, chopping his body into meat sauce with knives!
Up to two years before and after. The Liaodong War, which cost hundreds of thousands of men and horses on both sides and millions of dollars in money and food, came to an end.
When he saw the news that Ma Ke's head and Turge ordered people to come and report that Hong Chengchou was captured alive sent by Aobai, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed in Huang Taiji's heart, followed by a black in front of him. Fell on horseback.
When Huang Taiji was rescued by a few Lang Zhong, it was already evening, and a huge night fell on the land of western Liaoning. The starlight in the sky and the lanterns and torches on the ground reflected each other, turning the land of western Liaoning into a huge city that never sleeps.
It was the Liao thieves who were inspecting the loot overnight and searching for the remnants of the Ming army.
Tang Tong's department, which was the first to escape, was also blocked by the Zhengbai Banner Department in Goubangzi Town, which was only dozens of miles away from Guangning, and was ready to pick up foreign fish all the way north.
Accompanying Tang Tong's head was sent to Huang Taiji, as well as the servants of the Prince of Darkhan of the Mongolian Korqin Department led by Doro Rao Yu Bel Abatai. Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty's son-in-law, the son of Gulun Forehead Qi Tate, Mongolian Horqin Tushetu Khan Badazha, is also the son-in-law of Gulun Forehead, Huang Taiji, Baya Si Hulang and Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han ministers congratulated the victory in Liaoxi. As the messenger of the two Buddhas of the Western Heavens. The name of the living Buddha Ilaguk III even appeared in the congratulatory table in Mongolian.
Although Huang Taiji's head still hurts, his mood is still much better after the big victory. He enjoyed listening to the sycophants of the ministers before driving. On the one hand, he ordered the ministers of the three inner courts to draw up an edict on his behalf, using Manchu, Mongolian, and Han languages together, greatly exaggerating the martial arts of the great victory in Liaodong, and telling the Korean king Li Liang and the kings of the Mongolian tribes to know, and on the other hand, he ordered people to take proper care of Hong Chengchou and send fine people to Shengjing. It is important to let the Han minister try to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender quickly.
"It's a pity that Qiu Minyang, who I put back, died in the chaos!"
The Qing army enjoyed the fruits of its great victory in the western Liaoning corridor, and continued to expand the results, advancing the forward momentum to the area between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, making the two cities wait for each other. At the same time, the remnants of victory are coerced by large soldiers. Sweeping through the remnants of the Ming army's castles along the way.
After this battle, the Ming army was north of Ningyuan, and there was not a single soldier.
Seeing that Liaoxi had been decided, Huang Taiji led his army and horses to Shengjing, preparing to convene a celebration ceremony, and at the same time, he made up his mind to lure Hong Chengchou, who had been escorted to Shengjing and was detained in the Sanguan Temple not far from the left of the Daqing Gate, to surrender.
However, the people sent to persuade him to surrender returned in disgrace. The attempt to persuade Hong Chengchou to surrender failed. Since Hong Chengchou entered Shengjing, he has been crying and insulting, demanding that he be killed as soon as possible.
After Ning Wan, I even copied a poem by Hong Chengchou and came back as an example to inform Huang Taiji that this person is a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard: "The Seven Laws of "The Prisoner Car Passes Through Guangning":
Thousands of miles of gloom and clouds pressure the car,
The feudal territory is full of long boos.
The king has lost his lonely ministers,
The land is in trouble, and there is blood and tears.
The fog is vast and dead,
The mercy face is miserable and leans on the village.
Millennial Liaodong crane,
Fly over Yanshan and love the emperor's residence.
"Master, this person will definitely not surrender, in the opinion of a slave, it is better to punish him properly!"
These news from the battlefield were collected by Wu Sangui and sent to Beijing and Tianjin in duplicate. The one sent to Tianjin is far more detailed and clear than the one sent to Beijing!
After Ning Yuanbo and Li Shouhan learned about the battle situation in Liaodong in Tianjin Tianhou Temple, they were furious and smashed almost all the objects that could be moved in the study, so frightened that the people around them stood tremblingly outside the door but did not dare to come forward to persuade them. In the end, the exhausted Shouhan lay down in the mess of the signing room and fell asleep.
At this time, the guards dared to gently lift Li Shouhan from the garbage heap and put him on the bed to rest under the leadership of Li Peiting and Mo Yu.
"Second son, it's not a way for the lord to do this! With such a rage, once the body is worn out, we will not be able to redeem it! "Mo Yu has lost a lot of weight since he returned from Tashan.
"But at this time, no matter who tries to persuade me, I'm afraid that I will be scolded by the lord and come back!"
"Second son, is this good, I heard that the second aunt in Jinan has already given birth. Right now, it's almost confinement. Why don't you send a boat south to bring the two aunts and the two young masters to Tianjin, so that the lord can be relieved? ”
The two aunts and wives that Mo Yu said in his mouth are his mother and daughter.
At that moment, the two made up their minds, in addition to sending a speedboat to Jinan to pick up the two aunts and wives and take the children to the north, they also wanted to inform the eldest prince Li Huayu who was far away in Jinan about Liaodong.
A fast boat went to sea overnight to Shandong.
Li Shouhan himself slept with his head covered and restless in the anxiety of a group of civil and military officials. After coming out of the dormitory, he was in a rather calm mood, and instructed the guards to tell him to write a post to the civil and military officials stationed in Tianjin.
"Let's just say that Lao Tzu is in a good mood now, the matter of Liaodong is that Lao Tzu is too anxious, this war is like cooking, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since this dish in Liaodong can't be eaten in a hurry, then eat it slowly! (To be continued......)
