Chapter 500: Expedition
Chongzhen actually had no intention of backing down, which made Mao Wenlong very unhappy, in the final analysis, he was helping him when he went to fight Wu Sangui and Huang Taiji now, at least on the surface. But Chongzhen didn't miss love at all, and he had to force himself to marry Princess Taiping, but his uncle couldn't bear it and his aunt couldn't bear it.
Mao Wenlong immediately sneered: "Since the emperor is so resolute, then this matter will be stopped, and the emperor will bear the consequences." ”
Mao Wenlong, who was unhappy, immediately got up, turned around and was about to leave.
Chongzhen obviously didn't expect Mao Wenlong to be so resolute, he saw that Mao Wenlong's Shandong had just been attacked by Wu Sangui a few days ago. In this sneak attack, Chongzhen had already heard that Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army had suffered considerable losses, and Mao Wenlong was even more angry about it, and he hated Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui to the core.
originally thought that with this handle, Chongzhen could wantonly blackmail Mao Wenlong into agreeing to marry the princess. But now, judging from Mao Wenlong's resolute attitude, it seems that things are not what Chongzhen thinks.
Seeing that Mao Wenlong was about to walk out of the house, a trace of hesitation flashed on Chongzhen's face, and finally when Mao Wenlong stepped out of the door with one foot, he shouted: "General Mao might as well dissipate his anger, there is something to discuss!" ”
Mao Wenlong's dangling feet quickly retracted, then slowly turned around, stared at Chongzhen and said, "The emperor might as well give a happy word, whether to give the Dongjiang Army the title or not." ”
Chongzhen smiled bitterly in his heart, as if his wish was about to be disappointed, and sighed helplessly in his heart, Chongzhen nodded to Mao Wenlong and said: "I was impulsive just now, General Mao might as well come back and discuss it carefully." ”
Mao Wenlong finally showed a smile on his face, and he walked back with a smile. After a deep conversation for half a day, Mao Wenlong took the holy decree that Chongzhen had just written down and left in the evening.
Five days later, Mao Wenlong returned to Xi'an, and Hong Chengchou had already assembled an army of 100,000 for him, waiting for Mao Wenlong.
After throwing the holy decree to Hong Chengchou, Mao Wenlong immediately ordered the whole army to set off, and the 100,000 Dongjiang army set off towards Shanxi.
When Chen Jisheng went to Nanjing with Mao Wenlong, he had already given him an order to lead 30,000 cavalry to advance from Shandong, and then combine the original soldiers and horses in Shandong, and then attack the Beijing Division and Datong Mansion with Mao Wenlong's soldiers in two ways.
Such a large-scale war was to be launched in just ten days, thanks to the preparations made by the Dongjiang Army in the early days.
The frequent movements of the Dongjiang Army were soon discovered by Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui, and the two of them immediately realized that something was wrong.
The Imperial Study Room in the Imperial Castle of the Imperial Castle of the Imperial Commander.
Wu Sangui said to Huang Taiji with a gloomy face: "At this moment, we should shrink back to all our forces, and then defend the Beijing Division." ”
Huang Taiji was disdainful: "The Dongjiang Army made Wu Wangye so afraid, could it be that Wu Wangye was frightened by the defeat in Jinan's mansion." ”
Wu Sangui was scarred by Huang Taiji in front of him, and he was extremely unhappy. Since he fled back after the defeat, Huang Taiji's attitude towards him has changed greatly. In the past, he would at least be polite on the surface, but now Huang Taiji has completely disregarded his face and sneered at Wu Sangui at any time.
Wu Sangui knew that he had chosen Huang Taiji from the beginning, which was a wrong decision. Unfortunately, there is no turning back, even if you know that you have made a wrong decision, there will be no turning back at all.
If he disagrees with Huang Taiji again, then he will be alone, and he may face Mao Wenlong's terrible revenge at any time.
No matter how unhappy Wu Sangui is in his heart, he can only endure it at this moment, a manly man can bend and stretch, and a little superficial attitude can't disturb Wu Sangui's mood.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and calmly explained: "Great Khan, the Dongjiang Army is not easy to get along with, and its combat power is definitely unexpectedly powerful. Especially Mao Wenlong's strange things, the last time the 100,000 army sneaked up on Jinan City, although more than half of them were soldiers and horses recruited by the former imperial court. But the Great Khan felt that in the face of such an army of 100,000, could the Jin soldiers easily defeat the king's Liaodong army like the Dongjiang army? ”
Huang Taiji frowned, in fact, his impression of the Dongjiang Army, he only stayed in the last battle where he suffered a big loss. And he has never confronted the Dongjiang Army head-on.
The only time was only in the battle of the Daimyo's Mansion, but that time he didn't feel anything powerful about the Dongjiang Army. In his opinion, it was just a little more difficult than those imperial troops.
However, after listening to Wu Sangui's analysis, Huang Taiji also began to pay attention to it at this moment. After all, there was no need for Wu Sangui at this time to exaggerate the enemy army and weaken his prestige.
After Huang Taiji thought about it for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Does Lord Wu really think that it is necessary for us to tighten our forces and defend the Beijing Division?" ”
Seeing that Huang Taiji had finally loosened a little, Wu Sangui didn't dare to slack off, and immediately continued: "Great Khan, Mao Wenlong was able to hold Dongjiang Town in Liaodong for several years on his own, is it still necessary to doubt his ability now?" ”
Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Maybe what Lord Wu said is true, then according to your words, we will shrink our forces to defend the Beijing Division." ”
Before Mao Wenlong led the army to Shanxi, he heard the movement of Jin Bing, and he snorted coldly: "Do you know that you are scared now?" It's too late......"
Knowing that the Jin soldiers began to shrink their forces and withdraw to the Beijing division, Mao Wenlong immediately unceremoniously ordered the garrison in Shanxi to dispatch first. Following in the footsteps of the Jin soldiers to occupy those abandoned cities, in less than three days, the Dongjiang army regained Zhending Mansion and Baoding Mansion in a row.
Before the Jin soldiers started the battle, they withdrew their troops first, which had already lost the courage to fight. At least it proves that the Jin soldiers do not have the courage to confront the Dongjiang Army head-on, and the disadvantages of the Jin soldiers are especially obvious when they are the strengths of one another.
On the contrary, the morale of the Dongjiang army was even higher, since entering Shanxi, it directly advanced to Baoding Mansion, 100,000 troops stayed in Baoding Mansion for a short day, after a little rest, Mao Wenlong immediately ordered a general attack on the Beijing Division.
On the tower of the city of Jingshi, Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui came up early in the morning to watch. I saw that on the plain in the distance, there were fluttering banners of the Dongjiang Army everywhere, and from a distance, the black army was like a colony of ants, and it was firmly pouring towards the Beijing Division.
Wu Sangui had a solemn look on his face, he was paying attention to the air at the moment, and did not look at the army on the ground. Unfortunately, he was disappointed not to see the hot air balloons that could float in the air before.
"Great Khan, we must guard against Mao Wenlong's things that can fly in the air, that is their weapon to attack the city." Wu Sangui reminded him worriedly.
