Chapter 314: It's all calculating
Huang Taiji chose to come to Daming to find trouble at this time, instead of choosing to enter the army in winter as usual, which is actually a bit of an unthinkable feeling.
He can't compare to the prestige of his dead father Khan Nurhachi, among the eight banners, although he leads the strongest white flag, but is the current white flag still the original white flag?
Since the killing of the Qi family's army, the combat power of Zhengbai Banner has plummeted.
In the Eight Banners of Manzhou, which speak entirely by strength, the signs of disobedience have begun to appear.
Especially after the last siege of the barbarian Jingshi and the wave of Mao Wenlong who went to the Dongjiang River.
As for now, although Da'ankou and Longjing Pass have been broken and Hongshankou are broken, others are not clear, but Huang Taiji himself is not clear?
This kind of small pass is everywhere at the border of the Ming Dynasty!
There are not a thousand, but there are eight hundred, not to mention the big ones like Xuanfu and Shanhaiguan that are headaches to think about.
And it is these three small passes, and almost 2,000 people have been lost in this line.
Although the benefits snatched back from these three small passes and the nearby Zhuangzi are enough to make up for the losses of his trip, after all, the three passes have lost 2,000, and how many people can he lose?
Changshengtian is too partial to these barbarians!
The area is large and the population is large, and no matter how you look at it, it is far from being comparable to its own Golden Khanate.
Especially the barbarian emperor, that is the real word and the law, and the exit into the constitution.
Compared with Chongzhen, the dog emperor, he is bound by the bullshit system of the Eight Kings Discussion and Politics, and he is depressed when he thinks about it.
Now although Zhang Wanchun is a soft bone, he only relied on intuition to analyze that he should grab a handful of benefits and run, instead of stumbling under Zunhua City, which also shows that this person is a talent.
It's just that what Huang Taiji never expected was that the fundamental reason for Zhang Wanchun's so-called strategy of taking a handful and running away was still greedy for life and fear of death, rather than based on the analysis of the strategic situation.
Emperor Chongzhen's fierce name, the grassland is boiling, how can Daming himself not publicize it well?
Especially Emperor Chongzhen, who is shameless.
Zhang Wanchun felt that once Emperor Chongzhen arrived, it would be difficult to rely on Huang Taiji's more than 10,000 troops.
What will I do then?
Just think about Yuan Chonghuan, who was chopped alive, and Fan Wencheng, who was cast into a bronze kneeling statue by the live Tao.
When the time comes, I won't be able to please myself.
I don't even have the courage to fight Jiannu to the end, where does I have the courage to fight to the death Emperor Chongzhen who built Jingguan alive at every turn?
It's just that Huang Taiji thinks that this Zhang Wanchun should be regarded as a talent.
Now that Zhang Wanchun also has the same opinion as himself, he should not be stubbornly obeyed, and Huang Taiji is more and more convinced that his original decision was correct.
It's just that if you don't knock it, it's uncomfortable after all.
It's like a candle night in a cave room, where you take off your clothes, but you give up because you're not hard enough, and it's annoying to think about it.
So Huang Taiji thinks he should still give it a try.
What Zhang Wanchun just said about sending a traitor to open the city gate is very reliable: "General Zhang just said that let the traitor open the city gate, but I don't know who is more suitable?" ”
Zhang Wanchun smiled and said: "Qi Yu Great Khan, there are just a few pro-soldiers around the minions, all of whom are children of their own family, so it is really suitable for them to go to Zunhua City to open the city gate." ”
Huang Taiji snorted and ordered: "In this case, General Zhang will go and make arrangements, and Ben Khan will surround Zunhua later." ”
After a slight pause, Huang Taiji continued: "If Zunhua is taken, General Zhang should be the first to take the lead, and Ben Khan will not hesitate to reward him, and the position of Baturu is already beckoning to General Zhang." ”
When Zhang Wanchun heard this, he was even more happy in his heart, and he no longer thought about what to do after Emperor Chongzhen's army came, so he simply went out to arrange for the traitors to enter the city.
Guo Wencheng, the county commander of Zunhua County, sat in the county government at this time, looked at the officials in the hall, and issued orders one after another.
At this time, Zunhua City was already under martial law, but there was a separate opening at each city gate, so that the people who fled from behind could enter the city.
As for the streets of the entire Zunhua City, you can see the officials of all classes patrolling back and forth.
The petty thieves of the past are hidden.
The county magistrate said that whoever dares to commit a crime at this time will be executed on the spot after being caught, and will not be tolerated.
Under the high pressure, even though some people were panicked, there was no chaos in Zunhua City.
Cheng Zhiyi, the chief soldier of Zunhua, was also dispatching soldiers from various nearby guards, and the news of the rescue was constantly sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the capital.
Cheng Zhiyi had a headache.
Although Zunhua is stronger than the troops at those small passes, it is actually inferior in terms of elite and equipment.
Especially the kind of grenade that is particularly easy to use.
It is very common for people to have ten or twenty pieces of this thing at each border gate, but when it is the turn of these cities inside, there are usually only ten or eight pieces - it is said that there is no such thing in the guards and cities in the interior.
The only good thing is that Zunhua is also the gateway to the capital after all, so there is no shortage of shells for this cannon and projectiles for firearms.
After thinking about it, Cheng Zhiyi instructed: "Go, send a soldier from a hundred households to help those officials maintain order in the city, and Zunhua City must not be chaotic." ”
After waiting for a thousand households to respond, Cheng Zhiyi said gloomily: "Cheer up, if there is something wrong with Zunhua, the head of the general army will not be guaranteed, so don't think about it."
Your Majesty's temperament should have been heard of as well.
Even if we all die in Zunhua City, the wives and children of the family and the people of the Nine Clans can all get some benefits.
If someone demotes Jiannu with a mind that they shouldn't have, hehe. ”
Cheng Zhiyi's last hehe, the meaning of it, none of the people present could not understand.
Fan Wencheng and Yuan Chonghuan are the best examples.
With a chill in their hearts, everyone bowed down, and then went to arrange the city defense.
The matter of city defense must indeed be grasped, and in the middle of the night on the day when the wolf smoke in Daankou was ignited, a messenger had already run to report the information of the loss.
Among the other passes, Longjing Pass and Hongshan Pass were also reported.
According to Jiannu's itinerary, it is estimated that as long as it takes a day or two, you can get to the city of Zunhua, and you can't be careful.
Looking at the Zunhua City Gate, which was already under martial law, Qin Guang, the eunuch of Longjing Pass, wiped his sweat and smiled at Ma Shi, who was still lying in the carriage: "It's done, Zunhua is in front, and I finally arrived before Jiannu's grandsons." ”
Ma Shiqiang endured the pain and said, "Come into the city quickly and settle these people behind us."
Ma abandoned the pass with people before he let go of his gun, and it is estimated that he could not dodge. His Majesty will not spare Ma, but if these people can survive, Ma can be regarded as content. ”
Qin Guang said with a sharp smile: "Come on, although it is said that abandoning the land and fleeing is a capital crime, but if you can run back with these people, Your Majesty will not kill you." ”
Ma Shi smiled bitterly, only thinking that Qin Guang was comforting himself, and just waved his hand to signal the others to arrange for entering the city, he closed his eyes and recuperated and stopped talking.
It's just that Ma Shi just closed his eyes for a while, and then he heard Qin Guang sigh.
Qin Guangdao: "Old Ma, look at those outside, are they Zhang Wanchun's grandson's personal soldiers?" ”
Ma Shi's descendants were buried in Zhang Wanchun's hands, and several of his personal soldiers were not good birds, so they were naturally very impressed.
Now that he heard Qin Guang say that there were these grandsons outside, Ma Shi couldn't care about the unbearable pain of his knife, so he forcibly struggled to raise his head, lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage.
It's just that as soon as the curtain was lifted, Ma Shi put the curtain down again, gritted his teeth and said: "It's these grandsons, even if they turn into ashes, Lao Tzu knows them." ”
Qin Guang snorted, lowered his voice and said, "Zhang Wanchun's grandson surrendered to Jiannu, these people must have been with them at the time, but now they are mixed in our team, I'm afraid it's a little strange." ”
Ma Shi gritted his teeth and sneered: "What a fart." Jiannu itself is mainly cavalry, so let them attack the general small pass, it's a big deal to take people to pile up.
But this Zunhua City is something they can pile up with human heads? According to Lao Tzu, these grandsons want to open the door for Jiannu. ”
Qin Guang sneered: "That's easy to do, let's let people take them down, and it can be regarded as venting for your old horse, how about it?" ”
Ma Shi waved his hand and said hey: "Don't mind, it's too cheap to let them go."
In my opinion, you send someone to keep an eye on these grandsons, let's go to Cheng Zongbing first, and then give those grandsons of Jiannu a ruthless blow. ”
Although Qin Guang has been supervising the army in the army, he has limited knowledge of military affairs, so he immediately asked, "Come on ruthlessly?" This Zunhua is such a big place, what do you still think about closing the door and beating Gouchang after putting Jiannu in? ”
Ma Shi sneered: "You Gonggong Qin don't know how Your Majesty cleaned up Haoge, the eldest son of Huang Taiji's dog minion, in the first place? ”
Qin Guang shuddered, and said worriedly: "Although it is quite relieving to say that you can kill a Jiannu general or something, but I'm afraid that there are so many Jiannu in this Zunhua City, right?"
Don't be self-defeating, there really won't be anyone to protect you. ”
Ma Shidao: "Don't worry, let's report this matter to Mr. Cheng, as for what to do, it is Mr. Cheng's arrangement, and we can't intervene, it's just to let them live a little longer." ”
Qin Guang snorted, and then ordered people to keep an eye on Zhang Wanchun's personal soldiers, don't let these guys enter the city and then find no one.
However, the righteousness of Tuo Cheng and the blessing of Guo Wencheng of Zunhua County, although the people who fled into the city were not embarrassed, but after entering the city, they were resettled on a separate piece of land, and there were thousands of scattered households scattered around for control.
After Ma Shi was carried to see Cheng Zhiyi, he told Cheng Zhiyi all the situation.
Cheng Zhiyi sneered and said, "You arranged it right, if you kill these grandsons like this, it will be too cheap for them." As long as Jiannu comes to attack the city, the general soldiers will let them in and give them a good look! ”
It's just that after finishing speaking, Cheng Zhiyi said with some pity: "You said that you hurt this place, it's true." What's going to happen in the future? Can you still join the army? ”
Ma Shi smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say whether Your Majesty can spare the responsibility of losing your land, as for joining the army, how can the army want me to be such a wasted person?" ”
When Cheng Zhiyi heard this, he also sighed, and just comforted: "Your Majesty, this general soldier will naturally intercede for you, you can bring back so many people, it is already a great achievement, presumably Your Majesty will not be too harsh."
It's just a matter of being in the army, even if you can't be in the army, you can still learn from Zheng and Zheng Gonggong, as well as Zhang Min and Zhang Gonggong, as long as you are dedicated to being the monarch of the country, you don't have to worry about leaving a name in history. ”
After comforting him again, Cheng Zhiyi ordered Ma Shi to go down to rest, but he looked at the topographic map again, studying how to give Jiannu a ruthless one.
At the same time, Zhao Shujiao was also rushing to Zunhua with his life.
You don't have to think about the few passes where you lit the wolf smoke, and if you think about it with your ass, you know that it is difficult for them to hold.
Gou Jiannu's wave of offensive came too suddenly, and there was no half of the same place as the previous offensive, so that there was no trace to follow, and those passes were caught off guard, and it was inevitable that they would be lost.
But Zunhua is different.
No matter how inferior it is to Shanhaiguan, Zun incarnates as one of the gateways of the Jingshi, and the protective force that should be there will not be weak. As long as he can rush to Zunhua to stop Jiannu, the direction of the capital will at least be safer.
Thinking of this, Zhao Shujiao simply ordered: "Change horses, and then rush forward!" ”
Zhao led this trip with a full 4,000 elite soldiers, and the configuration of one person and two horses directly played with life, so the speed was extremely fast, and he was afraid that he would be able to rush to the Santun camp in the northeast of Zunhua City in one more day.
As long as the forces of the Santun battalion are combined, are you afraid that you won't be able to build slaves at that time? At least together with Santunying, it is not a problem to contain each other with Zunhua City.
But Zhao Shujiao thought very well, but Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of the Santun Battalion, didn't think so.
In Zhu Guoyan's opinion, there is no surplus grain and grass here to supply Zhao Shujiao, besides, what good things are there when the guest army crosses?
No matter what Zhao Shujiao said, Zhu Guoyan just didn't agree to let Zhao Shujiao's 4,000 elite soldiers enter the Santun camp.
Zhao Shujiao had no choice but to take the 4,000 elite soldiers of Shanhaiguan towards Zunhua - if he attacked the Santun camp first in a fit of anger, let Jiannu see the joke and not tell it, I was afraid that His Majesty would not be able to explain it.
After Zhao led his troops to Zunhua, Zhu Guoyan, the chief soldier of the Santun Battalion, ordered: "Be on guard, even the three customs are here, but I am afraid that this time the formation is not small." ”
After speaking, he sneered and said: "Don't you fucking guard Shanhaiguan well, and go to Zunhua to grab credit from the masters?" His mother! ”
