In the rear of the Liaodong battlefield, there has been an active small group of elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, they form a squad of every eighteen people, known as Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, and the commander-in-chief is Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Qi Baoguo. This was an attempt on special operations, and the initial effect was very obvious, and the various departments of the Eight Banners were forced to divide their men and horses to take precautions, and the advantage of cavalry in field battles was greatly weakened.

After the recovery of Fushun, Jin Yiwei quickly arrested those who served in the puppet regime based on intelligence, including Fan Wencheng and Fan Wenhuan. In the face of the torture instruments of flowing water, the two brothers didn't say a word, and begged for death.

Qi Baoguo wondered why the emperor attached so much importance to these two traitors, and invited Fan Zhongyan's spiritual position as a tool for interrogation, but he was an excellent soldier, and he took obedience to orders as his duty, and bowed three times to the spiritual position, and then said:

"This is what the Holy God asked me to bring to you, if you don't recognize your ancestors, then I'll split the fire now!"

When Fan Wencheng saw the tablet of his ancestors, he had already knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and confided:

"At the beginning, I didn't meet my brother and I was conceited, and I wanted to show my ambition under Nurhachi, but I didn't expect the saint to care so much about the reputation of my ancestors, so I couldn't wait for myself!"

Qi Baoguo patiently listened to their cries, and scolded sharply:

"Don't you feel ashamed that you, as Han Chinese, helped the Jurchens slaughter their own compatriots? Your ancestors' coffin boards are almost unpressable, and they are really disloyal and unfilial national scum. ”

Facing Qi Baoguo's righteous words, Fan Wencheng was very painful in his heart, when he chose to defect to Nurhachi, the word traitor struggled in his heart for a long time. At this time, it was moved out in one go, and the taste was not good.

According to Zuo Zhan's original intention, this old traitor who claimed to be a big Ming bone and a big Qing meat had better chop it up and feed it to the dogs. Considering the reputation of Wen Zhenggong, who 'worries about the world first and then the joy of the world', as well as Fan Qi's loyalty, Zuo Zhan decided to let the two brothers admit their mistakes to their ancestors first, and then cut them off.

As for the other traitors, Li Yongfang, the guerrilla general of the Fushun Qianhu Institute who first took refuge in Nurhachi, was executed and exterminated by the Nine Clans, and his head will always be hung on the head of Fushun City. Shenyang Counselor He Shixian Lingchi was executed, exterminated the nine clans, and his head was forever hung on the head of Shenyang City. Those members of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who participated in the massacre of their compatriots were all put on display, and their bodies were burned, and their ashes were scattered on the official roads of Liaodong, so that they could be ridden by thousands of people and never turn over.

The traitors were being executed vigorously in the rear, but the generals of the Ming army on the front line were arguing, and the Liaodong soldiers asked for battle, demanding to quickly pursue Nurhachi's main force and avenge their fathers and fellow villagers. Xiong Tingbi saw that the public was angry, and he, the Taiguo Zhang, couldn't suppress the situation, so he decisively asked for a holy decree and said in public:

"Generals, your feelings can be understood, but it is not a wise move to pursue Jianyu in the forest and snow fields. If Nurhachi cuts off the logistical supply of the army, he will repeat the mistakes of Sarhu. If these fortresses were guarded, Nurhachi would still be able to break them individually, so I decided to take all the people, grain, grass, and property and concentrate them all in Shenyang and Liaoyang. The army relied on the city and the Liaohe River to rest and recuperate, waiting for Nurhachi's second attack. ”

Shenyang's chief soldier Zu Dashou thought that there were still more than 10,000 corpses lying outside Shenyang City, how could they fall twice in the same place, and asked puzzledly:

"Nurhachi has suffered losses in Shenyang, and now the main force of our army is stationed, how can they hit a stone with an egg? What should they do if they eat Mongolia and Yehe and then flee to Liaobei? ”

Xiong Tingbi smiled slyly:

The answer lies in this holy decree, the Holy Lord has taken some of the captives to Shenyang, even if Nurhachi knows that this is a trap, he will not be able to restrain the soldiers from coming to surrender. Rather than sit back and wait for death, simply concentrating forces to fight once may still have the possibility of survival. ”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they were impressed by the little emperor's murderous move, and each returned to the camp to count the people, leaving only an empty city standing there. This kind of tactic of clearing the wilderness is the most lethal for the Eight Banners who lack backup, and their food and livestock will be drastically reduced as winter is approaching, and it will be difficult to survive this winter without getting some side jobs.

After Nurhachi received the news of the loss of Fushun, he did not take it to heart, he had already found the main force of the Mongol cavalry. At this time, Lin Dan was eager to retreat to Yizhou to rescue the captured family members, and decided to let go and break out of Nurhachi's encirclement. The two sides set up positions near the Yalu River, and a fierce battle between the Golden Family and the Jurchen nouveau riche was about to begin.

Because the Mongol cavalry was far away and worried about the safety of their relatives, they had no intention of fighting, and they had only the power to parry in the face of the strong Jurchen cavalry, and the formation was quickly dispersed, and the fierce battle turned into a one-sided slaughter. When Lin Dan rushed out, there were less than 20,000 horses left around him, but he couldn't care about these anymore and rushed to Yizhou overnight.

After the defeat of the Mongol cavalry, Buyanguke was miserable, due to the loss of the protection of the flank, he was soon defeated by Nurhachi, and was forced to flee into the deep mountains and old forests to fight guerrilla warfare. When Jinyiwei found him, he found that the Yehe tribe had returned to its primitive society, relying on leaves for warmth and eating wild vegetables.

In the face of the envoys of the Celestial Empire, Buyangu reluctantly killed several horses to entertain him, and forced his subordinates to sing and dance to celebrate. After three rounds of drinking, Buyangu couldn't help but say:

"What is the matter with the angel's visit? Now there are less than 40,000 people left in our department, and we lack supplies and weapons, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to assist the Celestial Army in encircling and suppressing Nurhachi. ”

The leader of Jinyi Wei was originally a test hundred households under the command of Qi Baoguo, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats in Liaodong, and was named a guerrilla general of the New Army by Zuo Zhan, responsible for the formation of reconnaissance troops. On the way here, he had already seen the dilapidated image of Yehebe, and his answer to Buyangu was not strange, and he said slowly:

"The envoy is going to congratulate the lord, the emperor has issued an edict to crown you as the general of the dragon and tiger, and govern the two departments of Changbai Mountain Zhusheli and Neyin."

Buyangu thought to himself, don't come to the void, I'm about to be boiled and eaten by my subordinates, can I have something practical? I couldn't help but say stupidly:

"There is no measure in the lowly position, and it is well deserved to receive this grace from heaven. It's just that at the moment, our department lacks cotton clothes and food for the winter, and I ask the angels to forgive me. ”

The messenger knew that Buyangu could not bear it, and said clearly:

"Your ministry has been resisting until now, and the Holy Lord appreciates your integrity. Considering the heavy losses of your troops, I kindly allow you to go to Xiping Fort to rest and spend the winter, and General Xiong has prepared houses, tents and supplies for you to spend the winter. ”

Within the Jurchens, the Yehe Department and the Jianzhou Department are feuds. During the Chenghua period, the Jianzhou Department was in turmoil and was slaughtered, and the Yehe Department took the opportunity to rise. During the Wanli period, Li Chengliang supported Nurhachi of the Jianzhou Department to attack the Yehe Department, which eventually caused a catastrophe.

Now, Zuo Zhan's plan was to completely eliminate the Jianzhou tribe and incorporate the Yehe tribe into the Han people's establishment, so the first step was to move them inward, assimilate them through marriage, and become the advance force to manage the Beishan Jurchens and Tunguska. After the war, some Shandong people migrated to the eastern part of the country and implemented the farming system on the black soil, completely changing the living habits of the Jurchens. Finally, the Han civilization was popularized, and the world was truly realized as one family proposed by Zhu Di.

Although Buyangu knew what it meant to move inward, he could continue to be a local snake, if he disobeyed the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep even a whole corpse, so he had to accept the adaptation head-on, and the whole clan temporarily migrated to Xipingbao.

In the battle of the Yalu River, Nurhachi won a complete victory, killing tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and Yehe tribesmen, capturing countless cattle and sheep and baggage, and the morale of the Eight Banners was unprecedentedly high. After Nurhachi rewarded the three armies, he was discussing how to relieve Mang Gurtai and Daishan who were besieged in Yizhou, when news came from Yue Tuo that the DPRK had taken some of the captives to Shenyang, and in order to protect their safety, Xiong Tingbi led an army of 100,000 to retreat to Shenyang.

It took a lot of effort for Nurhachi to persuade his subordinates to negotiate with him, so that he could find important people in the Ming Dynasty in the future, but now he was cut off by the little emperor, and he knew that he would never be able to return to heaven. What's even more infuriating is that he found that the little emperor was playing with him at the beginning, first deliberately letting Gurtai and Daishan go through the defense area of the Ming army to cause trouble to the Chahar department, and then left enough time for himself to fight the main Mongolian battle, which is called the snipe and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman. At this time, although he cleared the obstacles in the north, the families of all the soldiers were in Shenyang, and it was impossible to fool them to escape far away.

The west wind is bleak, and the sunset is lonely. When Nurhachi thinks back on his life, he only hates both Yu and He Shengliang. Not to mention that he has no capital to argue with the little emperor, even the group of people below also want to exchange his head for a title. Playing with fire will eventually set himself on fire, and it was only then that he understood this truth and decided to use his life to protect the future of the Aixin Jueluo clan.

On the banks of the Daling River, the Jurchens were marching east with many Mongol captives, and in order to speed up the march, he ordered the slaughter of a large number of old and sick people, but the ox carts loaded with gold, silver and jewels still dragged the horse's hooves. In the face of the small force of the Ming army attacking from all sides, he couldn't wait to open his formation and have a good time, but the main force of the Ming army was not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, and he was angry and shouted.

This fatigue tactic made the Eight Banners miserable, not only to worry about the sneak attack of the Ming army, but also to guard against the rebellion of the prisoners, and they were already exhausted after a few days. Yuan Chonghuan, who was in the distance, keenly found this fighter, and began to intersperse with Huang Degong in a roundabout way, dividing Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan's cavalry into two parts, and then launched a fierce attack on the weaker Mang Gurtai.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry under his command is not only a combination of cavalry and modern firearms, but also a real landlord class in the Guanjin area, which is stronger than other troops in terms of combat effectiveness and desire to fight. They are not so much cavalry, but rather heavy infantry on horseback, and swords, shields, guns, and crossbows are all sharp weapons to restrain cavalry.

At this time, Sun Chengzong had already moved his headquarters to Yizhou City, and was responsible for the command of this encirclement and suppression. In the face of the stubborn resistance of the Eight Banners, he constantly practiced various tactics, such as ambush by large corps, coordination between artillery and infantry, and coordination between infantry and cavalry. In short, in his eyes, these Jurchens are experimental subjects, and their only value is to brush up experience for the new army.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, when Yue Tuo risked his life to save his father, the remaining Mang Gurtai and his blue flag became a turtle in the urn, and people continued to die during the day, and a large number of soldiers would flee at night. In the face of crumbling morale, Reckless Gurtai violently took those prisoners and stabbed them, and he wanted to pull his feet on his back.

At sunset, Mang Gurtai decided to surrender, and it was this kind of person that no hero made the erector famous. He once crisscrossed Liaodong, experienced a hundred battles without defeat, and was known as the first fierce general of the Jurchens. Now he can only jump off the war horse, slap twice on the horse's back, and the horse neighs and goes east, which is the last nostalgia for his homeland.
