Chapter 599: Chongzhen who was frightened by Li Shouhan

PS: Continue to ask for monthly passes, subscriptions, and rewards!

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it.

Wu Biao is a taboo figure in the Southern Yue Army, and everything about him is a sensitive topic. But there is no way to do it, who wants him to be a rebel in the Nanyue army?

However, having said that, the rebel son returns to the rebel, and the water returns to the water, after all, Wu Biao is also a character who once fought all the way with Shouhan. There are many people in the Nanyue Army who have old ties with them, and there are even many fellow villagers and clans who serve in various towns and brigades.

The news of the surrender of Jinzhou, the exhaustion of the entire model brigade, and the brutal slaughter of the backbone below Wu Biao reached Tianjin, which immediately caused a strong reaction in all units of the Southern Guangdong Army. Li Shouhan was struck by lightning, although he tried his best to cover it up, but some people saw that Li Shouhan shed a few tears. Yes, Wu Biao, the model brigade, betrayed Li Shouhan and betrayed Nanzhong, but this incense love, how can it be cut off. The veterans brought by Wu Biao are also veterans who have fought with Li Shouhan, they have shed blood and drank wine together, although Li Shouhan did not say it, but in his heart, he has always regarded the model brigade as a child who is not angry at home. Parents are the same with their children, strict to severe, beating and scolding to scolding, but that is all a matter of the family. If an outsider touches the child, even if the parents have just stabbed the child, they will play with the outsider.

After a long time, I saw that Li Shouhan's whole body seemed to be full of black gas, and the people around him secretly shouted that it was not good, the lord was really hot. To use the most vulgar words, is it your turn to kill Lao Tzu's people?!

Li Shouhan gritted his teeth and sneered and said, "Don't panic, I'm not angry, I'm still smiling when I don't see it." Pass on my order, in the future, I will fight with my ancestors, and no one of my ancestors' people will be killed on the battlefield, and they must be captured alive. Whoever dares to commit suicide is to be the enemy of me, Li Shouhan.

However, there is one thing that I am a little troubled about, you said that it is better for the people of the ancestral family to be sent to Beijing one by one, or let the old brothers do something new to play

The people who said this shivered from the bottom of their hearts, they had never seen the lord so ruthless. Fortunately, we all have nothing to do with Zu Dashou's bastard, otherwise, we might be unlucky.

After a while, Li Shouhan seemed to calm down a little. He thought about it calmly and realized that the situation was not so bad.

The main force of the Ming army is still in Guangning, Hong Chengchou's resistance is quite resolute, and there is another Ma Ke who would rather die than surrender, and Wu Sangui is also strong during this time, which is enough to fight. The only problem. It is to try to restore the battle as much as possible, open up communication with Quang Ninh, and at the same time transfer the follow-up troops of the Southern Yue Army as much as possible. Once these are realized one after another, Huang Taiji is still the turtle in the urn, and the balance of victory is still inclined to Li Shouhan and Daming.

Li Shouhan Nannan said: Time, every qiē lies in time, as long as Guangning can hold on until the snow melts. The scales of victory can no longer be reversed.

After some rage, Shouhan called for copywriting with the army.

"In Benber's name. Drafted documents to Liangguang, Fujian, Songjiang Prefecture Shanghai County, and the same documents were sent by fast boat to Hue Jiaotong Governor Historian Li Peilin! ”

"Lord, it is within the scope of the subordinates to draft documents, but I don't know what the lord is going to do?" Several copywriters are a little trembling, and they have followed the uncle for many years, but they have never seen the uncle have today's angry moments.

Enemy. Since the formation of the Nanyue Army, there have been hundreds of battles above the battalion size, and all kinds of small-scale battles have been fought every day, and there have never been fewer times when there have been heavy casualties and mountains of bones. However, the whole system of brigade-level units has been wiped out. But it never happened! It doesn't matter who you're fighting against!

Restricted by the communication conditions, both the Shouhan and the Ming court only knew about the surrender of the Zu family to the Qing army and the fall of Jinzhou and the total annihilation of the model brigade, but how it happened depended on Wu Sangui, who was in Ningyuan at this time, to constantly pass the information back.

Although the Nanyue Army was very taboo about Wu Biao's anti-water, it broke away from the Nanyue Army system and changed its court to vote for the imperial court. However, Shouhan made it very clear in one sentence at the meeting just now, which can be regarded as defining Wu Biao's matter.

"Although Wu Biao is a bastard, he is an ungrateful goods! But killing him is also a matter for us to clean up the portal ourselves! Is it your turn to kill Lao Tzu's people?! ”

Wu Biao is the rebel son in the Nanyue Army, but no matter how disobedient and unfilial a child is, if he is killed and beaten by someone with a foreign surname, it will cause a strong backlash from the entire family.

Now, it is the strong counterattack of the entire Nanyue military system that has begun.

Shouhan ordered a general mobilization.

The garrisons of Liangguang and Fujian were mobilized to the north, passing through Huguang, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili, and crossing the river to the north, so that when the spring flowers bloomed, the brigade could also reach the north of the Yellow River, and the influence of the climate on the southern Guangdong army would not be a problem.

Looking out from the Niangniang Palace, I saw that the spring color had gradually quietly arrived at Jinmen, the river ice in the Haihe River had gradually melted, a touch of gray green appeared on the frozen land, the weeds in the sunny place on the side of the road began to wake up, sending out tender shoots, and the willow trees everywhere were also full of leaf buds on the soft branches, and some bloomed the sharp goose yellow leaves. After a long winter and a sudden blizzard, people suddenly saw a hint of spring on the earth, which immediately lifted people's spirits.

The copywriters worked hard to write according to the intention of Shouhan, and drafted clerical orders to various places.

"The garrison brigades in the south and central parts of the country, the brigade headquarters and a regiment of infantry, the artillery corps, the cavalry signal corps, and other units went north, and successively accepted the defense of Fujian and Guangzhou. As soon as the road ahead is perfect, go north immediately! ”

"All units of the garrison brigade left behind will immediately take over the strong teams of all prefectures, counties, and towns, complete the expansion of the mobilization brigade, and train them on the spot in various places. Waiting for the military order! ”

"All divisions and yamen must plan grain, grass and horses, produce weapons, and do a good job in mobilizing and pacifying soldiers and horses within the scope of their management. The situation must not be destroyed by war. ”

Shouhan personally wrote a letter, preparing to order the clipper to hand it over to Li Peilin, who stayed in Nanzhong and played the role of Xiao He. There was no other meaning in the letter, and Li Peilin was ordered to quickly plan food and salary tools that could provide 200,000 soldiers and horses and 200,000 migrant workers for a year.

"Those who go north, in addition to military horses, my brother plans to gather people to build roads and bridges, so that military horses can walk more heavily than in wartime, which is more conducive to the circulation of goods and personnel in the future!"

A few copywriters who were familiar with the format of the imperial court inscription were instructed to draft a transcript for the cabinet secretary. Contents. It's pretty much the same. It probably means to say to Chongzhen, I know about Jinzhou, don't be afraid if it's okay. I am a loyal minister of our Ming Dynasty, and the so-called lord is worried about humiliating the lord and humiliating the minister. In order not to cause the Liao affair to collapse, I have ordered a general mobilization on my territory and transferred 400,000 troops and horses to the north. Moreover, it is a year's worth of food and ammunition. However, the sea route could not transport so many people and horses for a while, so it was necessary to go north through Guò Jiangxi, Huguang, Zhejiang and other places. In addition to the soldiers and horses going north, in order to transport and transfer grain and baggage, I also have to build roads and bridges along the way, and I ask the emperor and the cabinet not to misunderstand. At the same time, the decree was clearly told to the world, and the government and government along the way were all known and cooperated!

These official documents and inscriptions were carefully checked by the copywriters, and after checking whether the format met the requirements of the imperial court, they asked Shouhan to sign and seal them, and then they were fired outside the Niangniang Palace.

These official documents were divided into two routes by sea boats and fast horses. The ships were sent south to Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Hue and other destinations, which naturally set off a hot activity in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Nanyue Army, and a large number of equipment, soldiers and horses slowly moved north, and the troops from the south gradually accepted the defense and prepared to go north as a reserve.

However, the inscription that was sent to the capital by Kuaima Xijin scared the whole court to the core!

400,000 horses going north? And it's going to go north through the south? Is this still worth it?

Officials from Nanzhili, Huguang and other places immediately became clamoring.

GI crossing. Barren. This is their impression of the army marching. Those mounds went to plague the tenants and civilians, and we scholars could pretend not to see it, but the marching troops trampled on the fertile fields. What if you harass the market?

What he said in his mouth was completely the subtle words and righteousness of the saint's education, and all he could calculate in his heart was his own business. The young master of the Nanyue Army made everyone swept the floor in Shandong, and his clothes were gone. Seeing that the summer grain is about to be levied, many gentry families have to go to pay taxes with those poor ghosts. It is a trivial matter to pay some money and food, but how many years of majesty have been knocked to the ground. What is the face of a scholar?

No way! We must not let Ning Yuanbo's army pass by our hometown!

In case when the time comes, like Shandong, forcibly promoting Ning Yuanbo's so-called new policy, wouldn't it be the same as Wang Anshi back then, and it would be another harmful move to the people? This is even more ferocious than the sacking of the army crossing the border!

So, these people are either co-branded. or go to the book alone, looking for all kinds of strange reasons, but no matter how fancy it is, there is only one purpose, that is, to prevent Li Shouhan's 400,000 horses from going north!

Looking at the various inscriptions and recitals that the celebrant brought in with a basket every day, he couldn't help but feel bitter in Chongzhen's heart. "Do you think I am willing to agree to Ning Yuanbo's army going north?!"

As early as the night when Shouhan put on the inscription, Chen Xinjia expressed his opinion when he played alone in front of the king.

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the minister thought that he should quickly make peace with the Dongyu and do the story of the Shunyi King of Altan Khan. Don't let Ning Yuanbo's army cross the Yangtze River! Once the army is in Beijing, the emperor, if someone regards Tongzhou as Chen Qiao, how should you deal with yourself? ”

Chen Xinjia's words were like a sharp sword piercing Chongzhen's heart. Although the words were heart-wrenching, every word hit his heart. Oh, yes! After negotiating peace with Dongyu, the big deal is to give Huang Taiji a title, let him be called emperor in Liaodong, and then I can use this rare time to turn around and clean up the mess in the mainland.

However, if Ning Yuanbo's army arrives, even if he really goes out of Shanhaiguan to Liaodong to deal with the Liao thieves, once the Liao thieves are pacified, how should I reward him? Can't you deal with it like Taizu gave spring buds to King Kaiping and steamed goose to King Zhongshan, right?

"What should I do as I see it?" Chongzhen tried to stabilize his mind and asked Chen Xinjia softly.

"Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the ministers, you can't let Ning Yuanbo's army cross the Yangtze River, and you can't even let the army adjacent. The two also want to make Ning Yuanbo's current subordinates continue to exert pressure on the Liao thieves, so as not to make the Liao thieves and the ministers' secret envoys open their mouths when they negotiate peace. The minister thought that His Majesty would make a will, and he would encourage Ning Yuanbo to do it, and in the name of cold weather and spring ploughing in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, he did not have to be in a hurry. The army can slowly move north. At present, military horses in Tianjin, Ningyuan, Jimen and other places can be dispatched when the weather is slightly warmer. Attack the Liao thieves. ”

At the same time, His Majesty can allocate a large amount of money to reward Zuo Liangyu, so that he can storm the thieves, as well as the thieves in the area of Yingshan Huoshan Lao Hui, Ge Liyan and others. As long as the thieves are wandering around the Jianghuai, His Majesty can use the topic to play at that time. Ordered Ning Yuanbo's department to besiege and prevent thieves, and even ordered Ning Yuanbo to allocate a group of men and horses to Zuo Ping to control and command, and specialize in thieves! ”

That's a good idea! It is equivalent to using the thieves to strand Li Shouhan's main force between the Jianghuai and the Huai, as long as he can stay in the Jianghuai for three or five months, by that time, the matter of Liaodong has been decided. Huang Taiji came up with a transcript of the ministers, and Li Shouhan's army had no reason to go north to Liaodong, which was just right for me to exterminate Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and others between the Jianghuai River and the Han Dynasty!

"Just play according to Qing! The same can be said when the decree is made. Since the 400,000-strong army is heading north, the affairs of the transfer of food and wages must be safe. With the help of the spring famine, the method of cash-for-work in the prelude to Ningyuanbo in various places can be used to repair roads, bridges, ports and wharves before going north. ”

The two holy decrees that greatly praised Ning Yuanbo's actions of destroying his family and relieving his difficulties and serving the country with loyalty were sent by the imperial court to Tianjin to read out. The imperial court should not hesitate to reward the position of marquis.

It's nice to say that one is enough, and then it's "but".

After complaining about the difficulties of the imperial court. Chongzhen and the imperial court asked Shouhan to slow down the pace of the army to the north for the time being, and first carry out the method of work for relief in Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places to repair the roads and bridges and other transportation facilities.

Pinching these two holy decrees with his fingers, Shouhan sneered twice from his nostrils, calculating everything. But he missed the character of those officials in the imperial court! For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu paid for food and salary out of his own pocket, sent troops by himself, and even to capture Tashan, Lao Tzu's baby daughter almost died. You're still here with a little calculation!

"The army led by Governor Hong of Guangning is the only elite of the imperial court. After several months of bloody battles with Liao thieves, loyal and brave warriors are well known. Now trapped in Quang Ninh, there is a lack of firewood and charcoal, and there is a lack of rescuers outside. And the Jinzhou incident has a profound lesson, and it is easy to change after a long period of hardship, how can it be taken lightly? On the day of receiving the order, the ministers should control the soldiers and horses to go north in the starry night to reinforce the soldiers and horses of Guangning! ”

After receiving the order, the Shouhan ordered the people to draft a recital for Chongzhen, which could be regarded as expressing his attitude. In an even more vivid way of expression, he did not give a reward to the little eunuch who came to give the decree, but ordered someone to greet the eunuch and his entourage for a meal, and then sent them away.

Those eunuchs and brocade guards also knew that their mission belonged to the dance of the tiger's mouth, and as long as they could save their lives and go back, they would already burn high incense. How dare you extort a reward? One by one, they went to Beijing like a dream of the emperor's amnesty.

There is a popular saying: Misfortune does not go alone. This is not superstition, but often a variety of specific factors at the same time that contribute to different bad things happening at the same time. On the surface, it seems to be accidental, but when you think about it, it is not accidental. Chongzhen would never even have dreamed that on the same day, he received three flying letters in the Qianqing Palace: in the morning, he received a joint report from Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan, and the king of Zhou, saying that Kaifeng City was under the fierce bombardment of hundreds of Hongyi cannons by the two families of Chuang Cao, the city wall collapsed, and a large number of thieves swarmed in, and Kaifeng fell. In the afternoon, he received a flying performance from Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, saying that Jinzhou surrendered, and Zu Dashou, Wang Pu, Li Fuming and others were escorted north by the leader of the Liao thieves with the red flag Manchurian flag lord Shuotuo, and went to Guangning to meet the slave chief Hongtai, and it was rumored that he would be awarded the title of the puppet Qing prince. In order to recruit Hong Chengchou and others in Guangning City.

At present, Jinzhou, an important town that can be called the key to the western Liaoning corridor, has been occupied by Dolgon, the prince of Liao thief Rui, completely blocking the road for the Guangning army to break through to the south. If you want to rescue the headquarters of Inspector Hong, there are only two ways, one is like Li Huamei, the county lord of that day, to attack the front of the Liao thieves with artillery fire and elites, and then kill a bloody road to the city of Guangning. Another method is to go to sea on a sea ship with elite soldiers, and take Shenyang directly.

Chongzhen looked at these two copies, and his heart turned over the sea, and he had mixed tastes.

Now it seems that Ning Yuanbo is inseparable everywhere and all the time. The momentum of its human rights has been formed, so how can it be controlled?

To save or not to save Hong Chengchou? Like the two mountains in front of Yugong's house, they were placed in front of Chongzhen. To save, it is necessary to let Ning Yuanbo increase the investment of troops, because at the moment, according to Wu Sangui's so-called regular soldiers and strange soldiers, Ning Yuanbo cannot be avoided, but he has just issued a holy decree to order his military horses to move slowly, even if the order is changed so quickly, right?

But if Hong Chengchou is not saved, as Shouhan explained in the recital, the tens of thousands of people in Inspector Hong are the last bit of capital of the imperial court now. If it is also lost in Liaodong, don't say that a big family like Ning Yuanbo who has money, food, soldiers, guns, ships and cannons in his hands is a gangster like Zuo Liangyu, and the court has no power to suppress bullets!

When it was time to hold the lamp, Ma Shaoyu, who was secretly sent by him and Chen Xinjia to Liaodong to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji, also sent someone to send an emergency notebook.

This secret envoy who was caught in the middle of a group of sea masters and great erudite treasures and wise men who went to Shenyang to see Huang Taiji, in addition to pouring bitter water and explaining how arrogant the Liao thieves were arrogant and how difficult he acted in the transcript, he also explained one thing to Chongzhen.

In order to demagogue the people and discourage the morale of the defenders of Quang Ninh, it is reported that the slave chief Huang Taiji prepared to carry out a surrender ceremony in Quang Ninh City a few days later, accept the surrender of Zu Dashou and others, and at the same time crown the officials of this generation.

"Slaves and thieves are rampant!"

Seeing this secret performance, Chongzhen was so shocked and angry that he almost burst his cerebral blood vessels.

If Huang Taiji did this, so that the Ming soldiers at the head of Guangning City saw that their comrades had surrendered, and knelt in front of the enemy chieftain, saying that it was too late to surrender and that it was hopeful to atone for their sins, the blow to the morale and confidence of the army would undoubtedly be like a bolt from the blue, and the defenders would have the possibility of collapse at that time.

"If Guangning really becomes the second Jinzhou, how should I deal with it?" Holding Ma Shaoyu's secret music in his hand, Venus appeared in front of Chongzhen's eyes, and he only felt that his two temples were "suddenly" jumping straight up.

"Emperor, Emperor?" Wu Liangfu, the eunuch on duty, called in a low voice, and then Chongzhen was called out of the mess in his mind, and he tried to calm down, trying to restore his manlike bearing.

"Emperor, Master Ma's notebook, you haven't finished reading it yet!"

After Ma Shaoyu's text, Huang Taiji's terms of agreement are listed in detail. In a hurry, Chongzhen didn't care to look at them one by one, and glanced at them one by one. After a few glances, it made him feel like a willow in front of him.

Different from what he originally expected Huang Taiji's lion to ask for with a wide opening, Huang Taiji only issued a title to Ma Shaoyu, and opened the general conditions of 200,000 silver dollars, 100,000 muslin cloth, 100,000 silk of various colors, and 500,000 stone grain and rice in the border market. In exchange, Huang Taiji said that he would pay a tribute of 500 mink skins, 200 catties of ginseng, 100 dongzhu, and 500 good horses every year.

"The slave chief said, the dispute between me and your emperor is a dispute between brothers. Although there is a lot of fighting at the moment, they know each other, and the real confidant of your lord and me is the Ning Yuanbo who is waiting for you! (To be continued......)
