Chapter 35 Continue to the North

Three customs, Chongzhen finally saw the world's first Xiongguan, but to be honest, Chongzhen was not so shocked, the walls of his imperial city were much higher than those of Shanhaiguan, and the building was a thing, and he saw a lot, so it was like that. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the distance, on the sea surface of Liaodong Bay, a fleet of ships slowly sailed north on the sea. Because there was no wind, the fleet sailed slowly. Obviously, it was the fleet led by Nanju Yinan, the governor of Fujian.

"Qin Aiqing, I plan to entrust the affairs of Liaodong to Aiqing in the future, and the defense of these three customs will be handed over to your people, you see who your subordinates are suitable" No matter how Chongzhen of these three customs is, Chongzhen will not let Yuan Chonghuan or Zu Dashou continue to be in charge, the main general around him, Chongzhen thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to let Qin Liangyu take over Yuan Chonghuan's position.

"Your Majesty, the minister's brother and younger brother Qin Bangping and Qin Minping are qualified for the post of Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief" Qin Liangyu is never afraid of fighting with the Jurchens, nor does he think that the Jurchens are invincible, according to the achievements of later generations, Chongzhen also thinks that Qin Liangyu's military talent is much stronger than Yuan Chonghuan, and what is even more rare is that Qin Liangyu's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is definitely not comparable to Wu Sangui's anti-bone boy in the future, I believe that the three customs will make Huang Taiji extremely jealous in the hands of Qin Liangyu, and it is no longer like Yuan Chonghuan's period, The Jurchens directly ignored the Liaodong Army and dared to give up the defense and lead all the main forces to make a detour into the pass.

"Very good, proclaim, today there is a partial general Qin Bangping, with remarkable achievements, won the heart, transferred to the post of Shanhaiguan General Soldier, the former Third Customs Chief Zhao Shujiao went to Beijing to report on his work, and made another arrangement" Zhao Shujiao Chongzhen does not plan to keep him in the Three Customs, and he will be used for it in the future.

"The last general Qin Bangping took over the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" Qin Bangping, who took over the three customs, looked happy, this is a promotion, and now he has more soldiers and horses than his sister Qin Liangyu in the hands of Shizhu, can you not be happy.

"Don't be happy too early, I'm leaving you thirty red-clothed cannons, but if something goes wrong with these three customs, I'm the only one who asks" This Qin Bangping is also a general who died for the empire, although his ability is average, but he can't stand people who are willing to fight to the death for the people, for the current Chongzhen, what ability is secondary, as long as he is not a coward, willing to dedicate himself to the empire, willing to die for the Ming Dynasty, and completely obey his own orders, it is much more reliable than those capable generals who have no integrity and even become warlords.

"Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, see the emperor" Seeing Chongzhen's arrival, Nan Juyi on the sea immediately released a small boat to go ashore. Come and see you.

"Get up" Seeing the ship led by Nan Juyi, Chongzhen didn't expect that the Damin Naval Division led by Zheng He would be dilapidated to the point it is now, looking at the dilapidated ship, Chongzhen was also a little speechless, it was the flagship that Nan Juyi was riding, and there were few cannons, not to mention the ability to fight in naval battles.

In dealing with the defense of the three customs, Chongzhen took his personal guards to board the fleet of Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, and accompanied Chongzhen on the ship Sun Chengzong, but Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu did not have this good luck, Chongzhen brought out the army, in addition to the 50,000 people left in the three customs, 120,000 new troops still have 70,000 left, of which 20,000 are heavy cavalry, and now these cavalry and Lu Xiangsheng's troops turned, except for a few battle losses There are also close to 40,000 people, Chongzhen handed over all these cavalry to Lu Xiangsheng to lead. The remaining 50,000 foot soldiers and 20,000 white pole soldiers were under Qin Liangyu's control.

Don't look at the more than 80 ships, but they are not big ships, they can't fit more than 100,000 troops at all, the cavalry under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng, galloping in front of the army as a forward, these 80 ships are loaded with more than 2 horses and the remaining 50 cannons, and they are almost loaded, Qin Liangyu in the rear led 50,000 foot soldiers, lightly armed, and the logistics baggage was all placed on the big ship, and the marching speed of the army was much faster.

2 days later, Chongzhen saw Ningyuan City standing by the sea. After seeing the Ming Emperor flag fluttering in the sky with the army pressing in the direction of the three customs, He Kegang knew that Chongzhen was coming, and immediately took people out of the city to greet him.

A small boat was released in the fleet to pick He Kegang aboard. Seeing Chongzhen He Kegang immediately stepped forward to ask for guilt, unlike Zu Dashou, He Kegang was a diehard loyalist of the Ming Dynasty, in the original history, the battle of the Daling River Zu Dashou He Kegang was trapped alone. The two disagreed, Zu Dashou was forced to surrender, He Kegang would rather die than give in, and finally Zu Dashou surrendered, but in order to gain the trust of the Jin people, he killed He Kegang.

In such a predicament as Da Linghe, Zu Dashou proposed to surrender, and everyone agreed, and the dead-eyed man in front of him would rather die than obey, scolding and not yielding. Chongzhen didn't believe that the man in front of him would betray himself and betray the Ming Dynasty.

"Get up, I believe that Aiqing is an iron-clad man, and he will definitely not make trouble, tell me the reason" (correct a mistake, originally Zu Dashou stayed in the three customs, He Kegang supported Zunhua City, now I have changed it, Zu Dashou went to support Zunhua, He Kegang stayed behind)

"Minister, thank the emperor for his trust, the original superintendent sent his ministers to garrison the three customs, some time ago to support Zunhua's Zu Dashou returned to the three customs, ordered the minister to lead the troops to Ningyuan City to garrison, not long after the minister led the army to leave, found that the rear was in flames, sent people back to check, found that the three customs were in flames, the rear Zu Dashou led the army to come, the minister was worried that the situation had changed, led the army to Ningyuan overnight, stationed in Ningyuan, Zu Dashou came to call the door, the minister closed the door and did not come out, in desperation, Zu Dashou led the troops to the north." He Kegang, as the chief soldier of Ningyuan, naturally has his own cronies, and if he finds that the situation is not right, he can naturally lead his descendants to defend the city and fight against Zu Dashou.

To say that Zu Dashou is also a capable person, but this guy sometimes does things that are an idiot, in the original history, Chongzhen just arrested Yuan Chonghuan and didn't do anything, Zu Dashou This guy led the troops to destroy the three customs and escaped, Chongzhen didn't come back after giving an order, but after this guy received Yuan Chonghuan's letter, he immediately led the troops back to King Qin again, you want to save Yuan Chonghuan, this is obviously cheating him, the emperor can accept that his control over the army is not as good as a general who is imprisoned in prison, Zu Dashou is obviously forcing Yuan Chonghuan to death.

In the end, Yuan Chonghuan was killed by Chongzhen, Zu Dashou continued to be his general, and later surrendered to the Jurchens, and ran back, Chongzhen not only did not care about it but even promoted him to an official, but Chongzhen issued an edict three times, ordering Zu Dashou to enter Beijing to meet him, Zu Dashou excused himself and always stuck to Jinzhou City, it can be seen from here that Zu Dashou is definitely not a good thing, and he will be left in Jinzhou sooner or later another warlord.
