Chapter 462: The Mongols Invade the Border
Although he had suffered heavy losses from the night attack, Dodor felt that he could hold out a bit.
At this time, he thought that the factors that could affect him to continue the siege of the city, only the small court of Nanjing sent troops, and he didn't want Nanjing to move, but Mobei Mongolia in the north suddenly went south.
This is not surprising, the living conditions on the grassland are too bad, and it is a common thing for the northern ethnic groups to attack the Central Plains, which can be said to be commonplace.
When the Ming Dynasty was there, they fought the Ming Dynasty, and now the Manchus rule the north, so they will rob the Manchus.
Nomadism is so horizontal, who wants to rob whomever it wants, it has been the case for generations, they only recognize fists and interests, and never talk about any big truths.
You occupy the rich land of the Central Plains, that is, I want to beat you, what are you doing?
There are about 100,000 people in Mobei Mongolia who invaded the border this time, and the leader is Erchuhuer of Khalkha Mongolia, who has broken through the wall and entered the territory of Datong.
At this time, the areas ruled by the Qing court, Beizhili and Shandong were relatively dilapidated, and Shanxi, because of the closed environment, was a relatively intact territory, which was an important source of food and salary for the Qing army.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied the north for nearly two years, except for Guanzhong, the Liukou were basically wiped out, and there was no burden of Liao and border towns, which could barely meet the operation of the Qing court, but it was a little difficult to divide the interests and stabilize Mongolia.
Although as early as the Huangtaiji period, Mobei Mongolia had paid tribute to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but it was only a superficial submission.
Since last year, the foreign feudal departments have begun to be a little dissatisfied with the Manchus because they have not obtained any benefits, and many of the conditions promised by the Qing court have not been fulfilled due to lack of materials.
Now the Manchu Qing mainly relied on enclosing land and turning the Eight Banners into slave owners to maintain the unity within the Eight Banners, but these lands could not be given to foreign vassals, and the materials seized by the Qing army were limited, and there was nothing to open border markets, to reward Mongolia, and stabilize Mongolia, so there was this Mongolian invasion.
In the past two years, in Beizhi, Shandong, and northern Henan, there have been no rebellions, no military disasters in the east, and the deaths are almost the same, the land contradiction has been resolved, and the local area has been restored to a certain extent, but these places have been destroyed too hard before, and they still can't provide too much for the Qing army, and the main tax area of the Qing army is still Shanxi Province.
The Shun army occupied Shanxi for less than three months, and fled from all over the country, without any major battles, and Li Zicheng's eastern expedition was to seize the world, so it was not as many killings as when he was in Henan, and Shanxi's vitality was preserved.
In addition, the foreign trade dominated by the Jin merchants gradually recovered, and Shanxi's commerce was relatively prosperous, and the Qing court sent officials to loot, making Shanxi an important province to support the Qing court's finances.
Historically, Jiang Xiang was anyway, and the Sanjin Dynasty responded in groups, that is, because the Qing court was too ruthless in looting Shanxi, and the original social structure was not completely destroyed, and many gentry and clans participated in the rebellion, so that such a large-scale rebellion could be formed.
Duoduo received the news that the Khalkha Mongols had invaded Shanxi, and Dol rolled him to hurry back to help, and the war in front of him could not continue.
Geng Zhongming listened to Duoduo's words, and his face was also shocked, he didn't expect that Mobei Mongolia would suddenly invade Shanxi.
Compared with the previous Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had three advantages, one was that there was no burden of border towns, the second was that there was no clan and no tax payment, and the gentry and landlords did not dare to evade taxes, and the third was that there was no trap of rogues.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty has more than 100,000 Eight Banners to raise, so the advantage of the second article is not obvious, but the privileged class of the Ming Dynasty does not fight, the old Zhu family purely sucks the blood of the country, and the Lord of the Eight Banners is not corrupt now, and he can still fight for the Qing court and make a lot of effort.
In addition, there was Gao Yihuan to make trouble, and there was a Ming army to defend, and most of the third advantage was also neutralized.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing had the advantage mainly in the first one, relying on their relationship with the Mongols, they did not need to maintain a large nine-sided military town on the line of the Great Wall.
Successive dynasties of the Central Plains had the responsibility of guarding against northern nomadism, and in order to guard against northern nomadism, the money and grain invested often accounted for a large part of the imperial court's income.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was tantamount to throwing off a huge burden of the Central Plains Dynasty in previous dynasties, and the pressure on them was much easier than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that the Mongols have invaded the border, there is no doubt that the Manchus have lost this key advantage, and Geng Zhongming's expression immediately changed.
Because he knew that the Qing court was on the front line of the Great Wall, and there were no heavy troops at all.
"Lord Wang, what should I do now?" Geng Zhongming's face was full of urgency, Kong Youde was gone, he had to worry about more snacks for his master.
Duoduo's face was gloomy, "Regent, let this king and the king of England return to their divisions, meet the Khalkha Mongols, and solve the border trouble in the north first!" ”
Duoduo raised his head as he spoke, sighed, and waved his hand half-loudly, "Command the army, prepare to retreat!" ”
In Runing City, in the mansion of the marshal, Gao Yihuan sat on the handsome seat with a golden sword, listening to the reports of the soldiers, he heard that Bai Wenxuan had captured Kong Youde, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed.
Before the smoke cleared, Bai Wenxuan, who was covered in dust, straightened up his small chest and stood in the middle of the lobby, letting Gao Yihuan's burning gaze look at him.
Gao Yihuan's face was full of relief, and he sighed that he still wanted to accept more generals who left their names in history, he looked at Bai Wenxuan, and laughed: "Wenxuan, tell me, how did you catch Kong Youde, the turtle grandson?" ”
"Yes!" Bai Wenxuan straightened his waist and told everything about what happened, and explained how he blew up the workshop, how he met Kong Youde, and how he escaped.
He described himself as the Monkey King in the belly of the Iron Fan Princess, and beautified him as a lone hero who took the head of the general from the army.
Of course, he not only said good things about himself, but also praised the excellent level of the soldiers of the Feng Battalion, and did not take credit alone.
"Hahaha Wenxuan, good job!" Gao Yihuan frequently bowed his head.
Li Dingguo became famous twice, and the Qing army was so frightened that he almost gave up the world and negotiated peace with the seven provinces.
Now that he has captured Kong Youde alive, how can he not be happy, Lao Tzu will complete the index of a Tartar prince, and he will be a famous king!
As soon as he thought of this, Gao Yihuan was happy, looking at Bai Wenxuan, how he looked at it, how he liked it.
Bai Wenxuan was complacent, hugged his fists and said: "Dashuai, Kong Youde's house is outside, do you want to bring it up to show Dashuai." ”
Gao Yihuan smiled and said: "A traitor, there is nothing to see, today this handsome is mainly for Wen Xuan, and my soldiers of Wei Wujun will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." As for Kong Youde, Ben Shuai is ready to send him to Nanjing and hand him over to Nanjing for disposal. After this old boy rebelled against the Ming Dynasty in Shandong, he served the Tartars for many years and had countless blood debts on his hands. Send him to Nanjing, he will be a death, and he will be executed by Nanjing, Nanjing can only turn against the Tartars. ”
Now Gao Yihuan is doing his best to pull the Ming Dynasty into the water, and he must let them resist the Qing Dynasty before he can breathe a sigh of relief.
He killed Kong Youde, although he was relieved, but it was not as good as letting the Ming Dynasty kill him.
Gao Yihuan sent Kong Youde to Nanjing, which could greatly increase the arrogance of the main battle faction, and forced the Ming Dynasty to express its position.
With Kong Youde's crime, if Nanjing wants to make face, he must kill Kong Youde, otherwise if such a traitor is not killed, it will really chill the world.
As long as Nanjing killed Kong Youde, the Qing court would not give up, and had to tear apart the hypocritical face and start a war with the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, Kong Youde's death will be valuable, and the united front against the Qing Dynasty will be initially established.
In Runing City, there was a jubilant and warm atmosphere, but the Qing army outside the city was already packing up.
When the Qing army was preparing to retreat, Duoduo, accompanied by several Qing generals, beat horses and circled around Runing City.
The group was stationed on a mound, looking at Runing City, Duoduo let out a long sigh, he knew that as long as he retreated, it would be even more difficult to destroy Gao Yihuan.
