Jinzhou, looking at the soldiers asking for help, the Jinzhou prefect and the Jinzhou garrison looked at each other.

"What do you say? Tens of thousands of Ming troops killed Ningyuan from the sea, is this true or false? The prefect of Jinzhou still couldn't believe it.

"Master Fuzun, it's true. Ningyuan City has been surrounded by the Ming army, and it is not easy for us to come out and report the news. Master Fuzun, General, please send reinforcements quickly, Ning Yuan will not be saved if it is too late! The soldiers who asked for help knelt under the hall and kowtowed repeatedly, pleading.

Reinforcements? The prefect of Jinzhou and the garrison smiled bitterly, where is there still an army in Jinzhou, the only two thousand troops have been ordered to be transferred to Haizhou by the order of Abai, the minister of Shengjing, and now there are only hundreds of old soldiers left in Jinzhou City.

Fortunately, fortunately, the Ming army chose Ningyuan, if they crossed the sea to fight Jinzhou, maybe Jinzhou would have been broken by this time. The two of them were secretly happy in their hearts.

"From this point of view, the Ming army's attack on southern Liaoning is fake, and the attack on Ningyuan is real." The prefect of Jinzhou suddenly understood, "We must immediately send a letter to Haizhou and Shengjing to report the movements of the Ming army!" Let our army return to Jinzhou as soon as possible to prevent the Ming army from attacking from Ningyuan! ”

.......

Shanhaiguan received Ning Yuan's request for help, and the Shanhaiguan guard Murcha was shocked. Murcha is a Manchurian nobleman, his father Aixin Jueluo Tanggu is the fourth son of Nurhachi, because his biological mother is a slave, Murcha's family is not valued in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he now has the title of Zhenguo General, with the official position of Zuo Ling as a guard general at Shanhaiguan, there are 1,000 Zhenmanchu Eight Banners, thousands of Han Army Banner soldiers.

Although the Guanning army had surrendered and went out of the pass under the leadership of Wu Sangui to fight with the Qing army, the Manchu court still sent Murcha, a clan general, with a thousand Manchu Eight Banners to guard the Shanhaiguan.

After receiving Ning Yuan's request for help, Murcha thought for a long time and made a judgment, that is, he had to lead troops to rescue Ning Yuan.

If Ningyuan was occupied by the Ming army, the connection between Beijing and Liaodong would be cut off, and he had to cross the mountains and detour to Mongolia to return to the Guanwai, which was certainly a reason to rescue Ningyuan. And the other willingness is that Ning Yuan is the old nest of Wu Sangui, who is fighting against the Ming army in Linqing, and most of the family members of his army are in Ningyuan.

Murcha knew that if he really watched Ningyuan being captured by the Ming army, and the families of Wu Sangui's army were captured by the Ming army, if the news reached Linqing, Wu Sangui's Han army flag would have to be shaken by the army's heart. So where can the regent still defeat the Ming army?

After thinking nervously, Murcha made up his mind and sent a fast horse of 800 li to Beijing to report the news, while he himself immediately sorted out the army and prepared to reinforce Ningyuan.

Shanhaiguan to Beijing City is only 600 miles, Murcha sent a messenger of cavalry one person and three horses, along the way to change horses without changing people, one day galloped into Beijing City.

I heard that the Ming army actually crossed the sea to attack Liaoxi, and the Manchu court was shocked.

The auxiliary prince Zierharang immediately convened the ministers who stayed in Beijing to discuss the matter, the prince of Li Daishan and other Manchu nobles were summoned, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang also personally went to the main hall to discuss the matter.

"Queen Mother, Prince Li, Ming Jun's move is too ruthless. We can't let them occupy Ningyuan. Zilharang frowned.

Even Murcha of Shanhaiguan knew the meaning of losing Ning Yuan, and the few people present naturally knew it, so there was no need to say more.

"Auxiliary King, Murcha reported that there are more than 20,000 Ming troops attacking Ningyuan, if Murcha is ordered to reinforce from Shanhaiguan, can you defeat the Ming army and save Ningyuan?" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked.

Jierharang smiled bitterly: "Shanhaiguan is full of one thousand eight banners, four thousand Han military flags, and the total is only five thousand. It was Murcha who brought all the defenders of Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, and the number of troops was far less than that of the Ming army. ”

"Of course, the defenders of Shanhaiguan can't all go to reinforce Ningyuan, if the Ming army attacks Shanhaiguan by sea again, it will really be over!

However, don't forget, the main force of the Ming army is now facing off against our army in Linqing. Could it be that Chen Yue was so sure that he would defeat the regent's 80,000 army, and he still had the spare strength to divide his troops to attack Liaoxi from the sea! "The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang has not yet spoken, and the old Prince Li of Longzhong has spoken.

"What do you mean, Prince Li?" Zilharang frowned slightly.

"I mean that Chen Yue can't draw the main force to attack Liaoxi at all, so although the army attacking Ningyuan has 20,000 or 30,000, it is definitely not the main force under Chen Yue, maybe it is an ordinary Ming army.

Everyone knows what an ordinary Ming army is like, and its combat effectiveness is very weak. Although Murcha only had 1,000 warriors in his hands, the Ming army also had no strong city to defend. Wouldn't it be possible to defeat several times the Ming army in a frontal battle with 1,000 banners and a few thousand Han army flags? Dai Shan sneered.

Listening to Dai Shan's words, the Manchurian nobles present nodded one after another. Even now, the Manchurian nobles still despise the field ability of the Ming army. Even Zilharang had to admit that Dai Shan was right.

Seeing that everyone was unified, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang immediately issued an order: "Just do what Prince Li said, and order Murcha to take 1,000 cavalry with eight banners, 3,000 Han military banners, and a total of 4,000 men and horses to reinforce Ningyuan." There are only 1,000 troops left in Shanhaiguan, and the auxiliary king will discuss with you again that army should be sent to Shanhaiguan for reinforcements. ”

The matter was decided, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang drove back to the inner palace. The specific implementation is naturally in charge of Zilharang, and she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

After discussing with the others, Zilharang decided to immediately send a fast horse to Shanhaiguan to deliver the decree, ordering Murcha to immediately lead troops to rescue Ningyuan.

At the same time, people were sent to Yongping Mansion to deliver a letter, so that the Yongping Mansion army, which was closest to Shanhaiguan, could go to Shanhaiguan to assist in the defense.

Of course, Yongping Mansion did not have many troops, only some green battalion soldiers, and the hope of guarding Shanhaiguan could not be placed on them.

After discussion, it was decided to transfer 3,000 people from the 20,000 banners guarding Beijing to defend the Ming army at Shanhaiguan.

Thinking about the fact that there were less than 20,000 troops left in Beijing, and what kind of trouble it would be if the Ming army from Shanxi attacked, everyone present was gloomy.

In the final analysis, the number of Manchurians is too small, even if all the people are soldiers, compared to the huge population base of the Ming people, it is pitiful.

I only hope that the regent can defeat the Ming army in Liaocheng as soon as possible, if this continues, the Qing Dynasty's troops will be overstretched, and it will be difficult to cope with the increasingly difficult situation.

"Pass the order, block the news from Ning Yuan, and don't allow anyone to leak it!" Zilharang suddenly remembered that if the army on the front line knew the news of Ning Yuan's attack, the army would definitely be in turmoil, "Send someone to send a letter to the regent to tell Ning Yuan what happened." ”

Seeing Zilharang arranging military affairs in an orderly manner, Dai Shan sighed softly, and his heart was extremely confused. Can Dacheong really gain a foothold in Kannai? At this moment, Dai Shan also lost his confidence. (https:)
