070 Horses tread the border
Apocalypse said: "Letting others suffer can make oneself happy in the shortest possible time, and many people throughout the ages have done this." ”
Sanlang said: "This is not fair, because the concubines can't make the emperor suffer." ”
Apocalypse smiled, "Okay, I apologize to you and give you a chance to vent your anger." ”
Sanlang thought for a while and said, "The concubine wants to challenge the emperor, and we will wrestle our wrists to compete with each other." ”
Apocalypse smiled: "Wrenching the wrist is a small way, and Renjun generally disdains to do it." ”
Sanlang asked: "Then what is the great road according to the emperor?" ”
Apocalypse said, "That's wrestling." ”
Sanlang said: "Wrestling is wrestling, where to fall?" ”
Tianqi stretched out his hands and gently hugged Sanlang and said, "Take off your clothes, let's go to bed and fall slowly." ”
Early the next morning, Tianqi got up and was about to go for a run, just after getting dressed, he turned his head and saw Sanlang in the quilt showing his head, looking at himself with a pair of black eyes, Tianqi sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Wake up?" Xiao Sanlang's strength is really not small, I really didn't see it before. ”
Sanlang said: "The emperor died last night, what are you going to do now?" ”
Apocalypse said, "Running to exercise, otherwise how can I fall over you?" ”
Sanlang said: "The concubine is also going to run." ”
Apocalypse said, "Okay, I feel that I am lonely when I run alone, and I will have company when I run in the future." ”
Tianqi is a young man, no matter how cold it is, he can enjoy the happy life of his wife and hot kang head in Beijing, and on the bank of the distant Liao River, an old man who is nearly seventy years old still has to work hard in the ice and snow, he is the Jurchen leader Nurhachi who claims to be the Khan of Destiny.
Nurhachi is a hero, and in order to become a hero, a person must have two basic qualities, one is to be able to endure and the other is to be able to wait, both of which Erhachi has.
When he was in his twenties, his father and grandfather were killed, and the culprit was Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong at the time. As the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father is not shared, and ordinary people should draw their knives and go towards Li Chengliang, but Nurhachi was not so impulsive, he first announced that the murderer was someone else, and then continued to maintain unusual respect for Li Chengliang, and did not openly oppose the strong so that he could preserve his strength and continue to grow, this is Nengren.
In the following thirty years, Nurhachi's strength grew, and he was confident that he could easily defeat the Ming army if he wanted to, but he did not act rashly, he was waiting for his opportunity. Although Li Chengliang is old, his prestige is still there, with his prestige, Li Chengliang can gather his men and horses to defeat anyone who dares to betray him, Nurhachi did not take risks, he waited silently until Li Chengliang died.
Forbearance and equality are important qualities of a hero, but they are not the most important, the most important thing is strength. After the death of Li Chengliang, Nurhachi relied on his strength to inflict heavy losses on the Ming army one after another, first annihilating 60,000 Ming troops in the Battle of Sarhu, and then taking Kaiyuan, Xiatieling, and moving the capital to Liaoyang to seize Guangning.
After crossing the Liao River, Nurhachi's army marched all the way to Shanhaiguan, and occupied Yizhou on the bank of the Daling River on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. Originally, he thought that there would be a big war in Uiju, but who knew that Uiju was an empty city, which surprised Nurhachi very much, so he immediately held a military meeting in Uiju.
Looking at the generals on the left and right, Nurhachi asked, "Who of you knows what's going on?" Why did the Ming army flee without a fight? ”
Erbel Daishan first said: "Father Khan, this Ming people are probably frightened, not only Yizhou, according to the sentinel to report that Dalinghe Fort, Youtun and other places are also empty cities, there are moss marks on the road, and there are occasional foxes and rabbits between the houses, it is estimated that the Ming people have been evacuated for at least two months. ”
Nurhachi said in a deep voice: "The march and battle cannot be estimated, tomorrow Daishan will lead an army of 20,000 to move forward slowly, and when he encounters the Ming army, he will report in time." ”
Dai Shan said, "Yes! ”
Nurhachi thought for a while and said: "Going down from Yiju to the southwest, there are many rugged and dangerous places along the way, especially in the narrow valley, pay attention to the fire attack of the Ming army. ”
Dai Shan said: "Thank you Father Khan for your concern. ”
Nurhachi asked again, "Do any of you know if the ancient road from Uiju to the northwest is now passable?" ”
His younger brother Shuerhaqi responded: "From the ancient road of the Daling River, you can go straight to the bottom of the Shanhai Pass, but it is not good to be in disrepair, and all along the way is the territory of the Mongolian Khan Department, and Lin Dan Khan of the Khan Department is now wavering, and it is said that there is collusion with the Ming people." ”
Nurhachi nodded and said: "Shuerhachi led 50,000 men to garrison Yizhou, to prevent the Ming army and the Mongols from cutting off my back route, and to prevent Mao Wenlong from taking the opportunity to come out and make trouble." The others are on standby for the time being, and after receiving the report from Daishan, they will go straight to Shanhaiguan with me, even if the Ming army gives up Shanhaiguan, they will not want to Beijing City, and when the time comes, we will go to Beijing City to grab some people and food. ”
Soon after Nurhachi entered Yizhou, Gao Di, Yuan Chonghuan and others in Ningyuan City received a report that the Jurchens had entered Yizhou, and at this time, Zhang Xiangan, Sun Chuanting and Ni Yuanlu also came to Ningyuan City. Knowing that the Jurchens had entered Yizhou, Ni Yuanlu immediately announced the order of the Military Affairs Yuan, one was to let Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi immediately be escorted back to Beijing by Jinyi Guard, and the other was to ask Zhao Shujiao to select 20,000 good men in repairing the city from his 40,000 reserves, and three days later he took tools to break the ice by boat and rushed to Huangcheng Island outside Dengzhou to join Zu Dashou's 5,000 sailors and marines.
Everyone has no opinion on sending Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi away, because the role of these two weak scholars is to do some things like making artillery calibration, and now there are not many of them, it is better without them, at least they can save two soldiers to protect them to fight. However, everyone has an opinion on the fact that the Military Affairs Yuan has withdrawn another 20,000 reserves after the 5,000 Marine Battalions of the 5,000 Marine Divisions have been withdrawn, although these 20,000 people are not very interested in swords and guns, but they are only good at dancing with hoes and shovels, but they are also 20,000 strong laborers, and it is better than a scarecrow to pull them to the head of the city and stand there.
Ning Qiandao Yuan Chonghuan said first: "Lord Ni, after you take away 20,000 people, the Yuezi Pass City will be empty, and when the time comes, the enemy will not attack Ningyuan City, but borrow it from the edge of the city to directly attack the Yuezi Pass City, can the guards hold it if they are half gone?" ”
Ni Yuanlu said: "Lord Yuan, this is an order from the Military Affairs Yuan, and the subordinate is only responsible for conveying it, please don't be surprised." ”
Yuan Chonghuan said: "This official can not be surprised, but when the time comes, all the remaining 20,000 people in the city will be killed, and the Military Affairs Yuan will not be surprised by the soldiers in front of me?" ”
Ni Yuanlu said: "When the time comes, the lower officials will be responsible for guarding the head of Yuezi Guancheng, and Lord Yuan and the generals will only be responsible for guarding Ningyuan Pass and Ningyuan City." ”
Yuan Chonghuan asked, "Can you keep it with the three thousand brocade guards you brought at the beginning?" ”
Ni Yuanlu said: "The three thousand people are about to escort Sun Yuanhua and Mao Yuanyi back to Beijing, and there are only two hundred guards under the lower officials. ”
Hearing Ni Yuanlu say this, even Gao Di couldn't help it, and only 200 people came after taking away 20,000 people, and the person who took the lead was still a civil official, and the person who was even more uneasy was still a short civil official.
Seeing that Gao Di was about to get angry, Huang Daozhou, the imperial historian, said: "Since it is an order of the Military Affairs Yuan, there must be a certain amount of truth, is this good?" Let Cao Wenzhao's 10,000 cavalry be stationed in Yuezi Pass, and 3,000 of them will be responsible for the wall on the northwest side of Ningyuan Pass. The other 7,000 cavalry mainly dealt with the enemy who bypassed Ningyuan City, and when it was advantageous, they would attack and retreat to Yueziguan City when the opportunity was wrong, and not fight hard with the enemy. ”
Huang Daozhou came to supervise the army as the imperial history of the four products, whether it was Gao Di or Yuan Chonghuan, he had to give him some face, seeing that Yuan Chonghuan did not speak, Gao Di said: "Then according to the plan of the Huang Jian Army, the 5,000 mountain infantry battalion will enter Ningyuan City to strengthen the defensive force, 10,000 cavalry will maneuver in the Yuezi Pass City and not fight hard with the enemy, and the 5,000 car battalion will be on standby in front of the Yuezi Pass, mainly responsible for covering the retreating cavalry." ”
At this time, Xiong Tingbi, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "It makes sense, Ningyuan Pass is impregnable, the enemy can't pass, Ningyuan City has 15,000 people to defend and only needs to guard against the east and south directions, there is no problem, Yuezi Pass City can not cut off the connection between Ningyuan Pass and Ningyuan City without losing the enemy, and victory is certain." ”
Gaudi said: "Then report this final plan to the Military Affairs Yuan, and hopefully there will be no further changes." ”
