358 Unbelievable

At the same time, between Tashan Dolgon's side and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao in Shanhaiguan, there is also a similar scene between Dai Shan and Lu Xiangsheng.

The messenger went back and forth, passing on the story of King De.

However, this side is a little different from Lu Xiangsheng's side, when Hong Chengchou was arguing with Dolgon, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly came to Shanhaiguan and brought three battalions, which made Hong Chengchou very surprised.

If Emperor Chongzhen heard about this, and then personally led the three major battalions to save King De, he didn't believe it. However, in addition, he couldn't think of a reason for Emperor Chongzhen to lead the three battalions to Liaodong.

To say that the imperial driver personally conquered Liaodong, it was just three major battalions, and Hong Chengchou didn't think that he had the strength to do it.

Therefore, in the face of Hong Chengchou's doubts, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and clicked with his hand on the map where Tashan was located and said: "I came to Liaodong this time to recapture Tashan and encircle and annihilate the captives in Tashan, that's all!" ”

That's right, this is the truest purpose of Emperor Chongzhen. He was going to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the Dolgon Offices in Tower Hill. The original Manchu clan did not have many people, and as long as the Dolgon Department was eliminated this time, it would be an irreparable loss for the Manchus.

When I turn back, I will find another opportunity to destroy a Manchu army, and I believe that the Manchus will not have much military strength to consume.

The three major battalions of less than 50,000 are indeed unrealistic to recover Liaodong, but to eliminate Dolgon's department, this can be regarded as a conservative offensive!

"Your Majesty, what if you can't quickly conquer Tashan, and the Jianyu army comes to help?" Hong Chengchou looked a little worried, and reminded Emperor Chongzhen, "This matter must not be lost because of a small loss, please also ask Your Majesty to sit in Shanhaiguan, and Weichen will lead the troops to go to Tashan!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said: "I'm afraid Hong Qing doesn't know yet, the reason why Dolgon and Qing are here is because the army of Jianyu has gone out to attack North Korea!" Even if reinforcements come, it will never be too many! ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder Dolgon had been arguing with himself unhurriedly, it turned out that the real purpose was like this. But despite this, Hong Chengchou was still worried, and when he was about to say something, he heard Emperor Chongzhen shake his head again and said: "In Tashan City, there are my eyes and ears, and I can't understand the movements of Tashan unless I go in person." This matter has been decided, no need to say more! ”

The so-called eyes and ears, in fact, after surrounding Tashan, seeing the Jianzhu exposed on the head of Tashan City, casually reward the eavesdropping seeds, as long as the level of the Jianyu with the eavesdropping seeds is high enough, even if Dolgon himself, every move of the Jianyu in the city, Emperor Chongzhen can know everything about it, so it is much easier to deal with.

Of course, Hong Chengchou didn't know this, he listened to the emperor's meaning, thinking that there was a Jinyi Wei secret agent. He didn't dare to meddle in this level of affairs, so he could only helplessly let the emperor decide.

Emperor Chongzhen did not delay, and after a day's rest in Shanhaiguan, the army immediately marched in the direction of Jinzhou.

At this time in Tashan, Dolgon didn't know all this at all, and still thought that Hong Chengchou's side was stabilized, so after hearing the messenger's return, he said with a smile: "Then go and tell Hong Chengchou again, 100,000 stone grain, just this amount, it must not be less." The dignified Ming vassal king, can't even reach 100,000 stone of grain? If Hong Chengchou is still not satisfied, anyway, I don't have the face to offer a low price, otherwise, this Ming vassal king is too worthless! ”

"The master is so right!" When the messenger heard this, he hurriedly flattered, "When the slave sees that Hong Chengchou in the future, he will definitely hurt him a few words." But the minion is also worried, what if he agrees? ”

"Promised?" When Dolgon heard this, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Then I will regret it and add more food." Bargaining well, the Han people like it the most! I'll learn it, no problem, right? Ha ha! ”

For him, the errand should have been easy. There's no need to fight, it's just a matter of playing tricks with Ming officials and teasing them. Even if it really has to be traded in the end, and a prisoner is exchanged for food, let alone 100,000 stones, even if it is 50,000 stones, it is quite cost-effective.

This errand has another benefit. It was originally the time when the Ming Kingdom was newly transferred to the He Renlong Department in Liaodong, and often led troops to harass, and constantly sent out the night Bushu and the Qing Dynasty to fight scouts.

However, since the negotiations on King De had begun, this He Renlong did not dare to stir up trouble anymore, so he could only stay obediently in Jinzhou City. Of course, correspondingly, the Qing Dynasty also restrained Tanma, so that the negotiations appeared sincere.

In fact, sometimes, Dolgon felt that Huang Taiji's arrangement of this matter was actually a superfluous move. No matter how bold the Ming army is, does the Ming army really dare to attack the Qing Dynasty?

The troops in the pass must have been attracted by the grassland tribes. And now the Ming army in the Guanning area, since the Zujia army was wiped out, can only defend, even if He Renlong's department is transferred, how can there be a threat to the Qing Dynasty with just such a few men?

Today, Dolgon himself led more than 10,000 troops to garrison Tashan, blocking the road from Guanning to Haizhou. How many dares did the Ming army have to bypass Tashan to attack Liaodong regardless of themselves? As for the attack on Tashan, it is desperate for the Ming army to attack, and under the field battle, it can also avenge the battle of Tianjin that year.

With that in mind, Dorgon sent the messenger away again.

What Dolgon didn't know was that this time, before the messenger set off, from the direction of Shanhaiguan, more than fifty cavalry of the Ming army galloped to Jinzhou.

"Hey, Lu Da, why are you?" At the head of the city, He Renlong, who hurried down, greeted the visitor at the city gate cave and asked in surprise.

After finishing speaking, he immediately introduced to another general soldier beside him: "This is Lu Da, the chief soldier of the Yongwei Battalion, and he is Jin Guofeng, the guard general of Jinzhou!" ”

Jin Guofeng was very surprised, he didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be the chief soldier of the three battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, but this time, why did he come with such a few people, only personal guards and soldiers?

To tell the truth, Dolgon's troops are in Tower Hill, and he is under pressure. In the past, the city of Jianyu was far away from Haizhou, and Tashan belonged to the Ming army. If Jianyu wants to attack, he has to walk for many days before he can do it, and there is pressure on Jianyu's logistical supply. But now, Jianyu is guarding the gate of Jinzhou. If it weren't for He Renlong's help, Jin Guofeng would not be able to fight just with Jianyu's scouts.

His doubts, He Renlong also had them. He was familiar with Lu Da, so he didn't have any scruples, and immediately asked, "Why did you come here with such a little person?" ”

Lu Da nodded, said hello to Jin Guofeng, and then said solemnly: "According to the emperor's instructions, Jinzhou City will be under martial law from now on, and you are not allowed to enter or leave, and prepare for war. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Jin Guofeng and He Renlong were both taken aback.

You must know that Ning Jin's side has never taken the initiative to attack Jianyu, not to mention, the purpose of the war is to destroy the Dolgon Department in Tashan.

"Does the emperor know about the situation in Tashan?" Jin Guofeng immediately became serious, and immediately asked, "The defender of Tashan Jianyu is Aixinjue Luo Duoergon, this person is insidious and cunning, and he is one of the best wise generals among Jianyu!" Moreover, Tashan has about 13,000 troops, of which at least 6,000 are the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which are the elite of Jianyu. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of this force, my Jinzhou people can't take the advantage! ”

When he said this, Jin Guofeng's head was a little sweaty. Although it took more than a year to integrate, in his opinion, it was only possible to defend the city.

Speaking of this, he glanced at He Renlong, and thought in his heart, even if he added He Renlong's department, although it was more elite, at most he would fight a small-scale scout battle with Jianyu, and if he really wanted to fight, it would not be Jianlu's opponent.

Different from Jin Guofeng, He Renlong has been in Beijing for so long after all, and he only knows a lot more about Emperor Chongzhen than Jin Guofeng, so he knows that the emperor will never give that kind of will that has no chance of winning, that is, he will definitely not let Jinzhou soldiers and horses attack Tashan.

Seeing Lu Da standing in front of him, He Renlong remembered something, and immediately asked in surprise: "But the emperor drove the expedition in person and led the three major battalions to come?" ”

"Ah......" When Jin Guofeng heard it, he lost his voice. The emperor drove to Liaodong in person, which ...... Is this true?

The fierce reputation of Jianyu is not as good as the thieves in the pass, nor is it different from the Tartars on the grassland, the Ming army has always been passively beaten against the Jianyu in Liaodong, and can only be on the defensive. In this case, it would be too risky for the emperor to conquer Liaodong in person! Does the emperor have the courage to personally lead the troops here?

When Jin Guofeng really felt a little incredible, he saw Lu Da nodding and said solemnly: "That's right, the emperor is driving the expedition in person, leading the three major battalions to Ningyuan." Therefore I have been sent to inform you that you may be ready. As soon as the royal car arrived, the cavalry immediately rushed to Tashan, and saw that the captives could not let them escape. ”

When He Renlong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly patted Jin Guofeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The emperor is here in person, and he also led the three major battalions to come, this time it's okay, what is Dolgon?" Just wait to die! ”

After finishing speaking, seeing Jin Guofeng's somewhat unbelievable look, he explained with a smile: "Don't you know, the emperor is wise and martial, and he is naturally powerful in war." What the enemy wants to do, the emperor can calculate. Tsk, when the Hetao Tumut Department wanted to escape from the Guanwai, they even made a detour. What is the result, haha, the emperor is right, and led us to wait outside the gate for them to get into the ambush circle by themselves! ”

He Renlong is a native of Shaanxi, the biggest enemy, before the thieves made trouble, it was the Hetao Tumert Department. For many years, they have been fighting each other, and even if the Ming army can win them, they are all cavalry troops, and they can't destroy them. originally thought that the two sides could only go on like this. Unexpectedly, as soon as the emperor came out, he wiped out the Tumut department. That battle was the most shocking to them.

Therefore, He Renlong had faith in the emperor.

But Jin Guofeng did not follow the emperor, but stayed on the front line of Ningjin, facing the powerful Jianyu every day, so he did not have He Renlong's confidence, even if He Renlong said so, he did not have confidence in his heart.

But under the emperor's will, he is just a general soldier, and he can't oppose it at all, so he can only follow the order.

Of course, the Hongyi cannon that attacked Tashan could not be transported from the Beijing Division, but it was obtained nearby, and it was the closest to carry it from Jinzhou. The siege of the city requires civil engineering, and these things need to be done by the people, which is also collected from Jinzhou, which will be the most convenient.

After the military order was handed down, the people of the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City panicked. After all, they had been accustomed to defending the city for many years. Look at it now, although the above did not say anything clearly, as long as you look at this posture, you can know that the Ming army is going to go out of the city and fight.

This time, many people are afraid. Those people who were recruited couldn't escape if they wanted to, so they had to say goodbye to their families for life and death, and they felt that they would probably never come back when they were transferred out of the city this time.

All of a sudden, the entire city of Jinzhou was shrouded in gloomy clouds.

When Dorgon's messenger came again, he was a little surprised to see this, which was completely different from the last time he had come. However, before he had time to think about it, he was taken down by the Ming army.

"What are you doing? I am the Messenger, and I am there to negotiate with your Governor. The messenger roared angrily at this, expressing his anger and saying, "You are so bold and reckless, are you not afraid that I will not let the king go?" If King De has three longs and two shorts, it is you who caused it! ”

In this regard, He Renlong had a bad temper, stepped forward and kicked him a dog to eat, and then shouted coldly: "I saw that you are not pleasing to the eye, and I thought that I could ride my Daming head to and pee with a German king?" Come, serve him well, but don't kill him! ”

It was because they came to talk about the release of King De, and the messenger knew that this was to fool the Ming people, so in the previous time, there was no less high-minded things. On the side of the Ming army, of course, it is impossible to offend him, for fear of affecting the negotiation of King De. So, these days, it's all holding my breath. Now there is no need to hold back, they all agreed loudly and dragged down the messenger who was very strong.

Two days later, Emperor Chongzhen led a large army to Jinzhou. At this time, there was no need for him to hide, but he played the emperor's dependence.

Suddenly, Jinzhou City was a sensation. Jin Guofeng and He Renlong led the people of the city out of the city to greet the emperor together.

I have to say that just such a message from the emperor dispelled the panic of the military and people in Jinzhou. The emperor is here, it's not a war that must be won, can you come?

On the Jinzhou side, the momentum was like a rainbow all of a sudden, and there was no longer any fear of going out of the city with Jianyu.
