Chapter 254: Dongyu Enters the Customs
When Gao Yihuan came back from the workshop, he was about to write a letter to Li Yan, wanting Luanchuan's sulfur, and he didn't want to have a personal guard report that Gao Yicheng was back as soon as he returned to the door.
Gao Yihuan's expression changed, he threw the horsewhip to his subordinates, and then hurried to the lobby, where he saw Gao Yicheng and a teenager sitting inside, and a man with a haggard face, but he was an old acquaintance Liang Yizhang.
"Liang Fujun?" Gao Yihuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly stepped forward with great joy, shook Liang Yizhang's hand, and shook excitedly, "I heard that after Fujun left Luyi, he was locked and taken out of prison, and I have always been very worried in my heart, thinking that I can't see each other, and I don't want to be able to get together with Fujun today." By the way, how could the prince of the mansion come to Runing with Yicheng? ”
Liang Yizhang pulled out his hand, bowed, and sighed, "It's hard to say!" ”
Gao Yicheng came up at this time, and interjected urgently: "Second brother, I have three important things to report!" ”
Gao Yihuan glanced at him, then immediately asked Liang Yizhang to sit down, and then said, "You say! ”
"Second brother, as you expected, the Qing soldiers have entered the customs. This is the first piece! Gao Yicheng licked his chapped lips, "The crown prince of the Ming Dynasty has ascended the throne in Nanjing, this is the second one." ”
Gao Yihuan's mouth opened wide in shock, and before he came back to his senses, Gao Yicheng turned to one side, stretched out his hand to introduce the man and child who had already stood up, and said: "Second brother, this brother's surname is Fang, and the famous family is the Jinyiwei brother who provided us with news in Shandong at the beginning. This is the fifth prince. ”
Gao Yihuan's eyes bulged and stared at the child, so frightened that Zhu Cihuan hurriedly hid behind Fang Jiayu.
"Third prince?" Gao Yihuan's heart was beating wildly, but after a while, he remembered the previous words, Chongzhen's crown prince had ascended the throne in Nanjing, so this "third prince" was not very valuable, and the Chongwang in his hand was even more of a loss of money.
"Jiayu below, I hope General Gao can treat the five princes well." At this time, Fang Jiayu suddenly lowered his head and clenched his fists.
Gao Wencai, Fang Jiayu, and Wang Yan each took a few princes and went south separately, wanting to break through the blockade and join Gao Mingheng, but Gao Mingheng went north alone, but was quickly defeated by the breaking army.
At that time, the Shun army was in full swing, chasing and killing all the way, sweeping Shandong, Gao Mingheng withdrew to Jining Prefecture, and joined forces with Gao Jie's department, who also fled in a hurry, and backed the Ming army in Xuzhou, so he barely gained a foothold.
As soon as Gao Mingheng withdrew, no one answered, so they could only evade the search and arrest of the intruding army while going south.
Among them, Wang Yan took the crown prince and Princess Kunxing, that is, Princess Changping, who was cut off an arm in history, and fled to Jinghai.
They saw that the wilderness was full of corpses of the Ming army and the Shun army, but did not see Gao Mingheng's army, and knew that the men and horses that received them had been defeated, so they did not dare to continue south, and then turned back to Tianjin Wei, and finally found a smuggling ship, drifted to Haizhou, and escaped the checkpoints along the way.
Gao Wencai took King Yong and King Ding, but there is no news for the time being, and he must still be hiding from the pursuit in Beizhi and Shandong.
Fang Jiayu took Zhu Cihuan to the south, and the road was also full of dangers. They wandered for more than a month to Dongchang Mansion, but at that time it was a problem to eat, and they were at the end of their rope.
Along the way, the Shun army was heavily checked, Fang Jiayu did not dare to rob property, for fear of causing a pursuit, and finally he remembered Gao Yicheng, who had dealt with him in Shandong, and knew that there was a shop in Dongchang Mansion, which might be Gao Yicheng's stronghold, so he went to ask for help.
His original intention was to borrow some food, and he didn't want Gao Yicheng to happen to be in Dongchang.
Gao Yicheng is in charge of finding out the news, and he has been working for nearly two years, and he has figured out a lot of things on his own. As soon as he saw Zhu Cihuan, he saw the flaw, and immediately turned his face and detained Fang Jiayu and Zhu Cihuan.
At this moment, three things, each of them, are not easy to digest.
Gao Yihuan listened to Fang Jiayu's words, came back to his senses, and then suddenly leaked a smile and bowed to Zhu Cihuan, "Gao, I've seen the prince." ”
Then he turned back to Fang Jiayu and said, "Brother Fang, right." The fifth prince is here with me, you can be absolutely assured that there will be no problems. ”
Fang Jiayu didn't know if Gao Yihuan's words could be believed, but he still hugged his fists and said: "Thank you to the general." ”
"Cheng Wei, you let King Chong move to the backyard to live, vacate the yard, and then send someone to clean it up and give it to Brother Fang and the five princes to live in." Gao Yihuan immediately turned around and ordered, and then said to Fang Jiayu and Zhu Cihuan: "The prince is in the dust, Brother Fang will take the prince to rest first!" ”
When the two left, Gao Yihuan's face immediately sank, he walked back to his seat and sat down, and then said in a deep voice: "Yicheng, let's talk about the first thing first, how did the Dongyu enter the pass, and how about the main force of the Dashun army?" ”
Gao Yicheng hurriedly replied: "Second brother, the news I received is not very complete, I only know that the Qing army entered the customs from Jizhou and Miyun through the border wall, Wu Sangui and Gao Di of Shanhaiguan immediately surrendered to the Qing, and the main force of the Dashun army fought fiercely with the Qing army in Jizhou, and after discovering Wu Sangui's abnormal movements, he took the initiative to retreat, and gave up Beijing in early May. ”
This is very different from the original history, but the result is still the same.
Gao Yihuan couldn't help sighing, history had given Li Zicheng a chance, and the Dashun Dynasty controlled all the territory of the Yellow River Valley and overthrew the Ming Dynasty like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
At this time, as long as Li Zicheng stood firmly, he would be able to realize the grand plan of the world, but Li Zicheng did not pay attention to the rise of the eastern captives in Liaodong, and had become the main opponent of him in the struggle for the world.
This time, the Qing army entered the customs, which was different from what Gao Yihuan was familiar with, perhaps because of his reminder, so there were some changes.
The Qing army, like when it entered the Kou before, walked the Jiliao border wall, bypassed the Shanhaiguan, and there was no stone battle.
Dolgon learned about the changes in the situation in the Guannai from Fan Yongdou and others, so he decided to take advantage of the fact that the Dashun army was not firmly established, and quickly dispatched troops, gathering all the men under 70 and over 10 years old in the country, and mobilizing more troops than ever.
Dol Roll is obviously a desperate gamble, success or failure is here, and the Shun army obviously does not pay enough attention to the Eastern Captives.
Unlike the Great Shun Dynasty, which had insufficient understanding of the Eastern Prisoners, the Eastern Prisoners peeked into the Central Plains for a long time.
Shortly before Huang Taiji's violent death, he had already made a judgment on the situation in the Ming Dynasty, saying, "With me, there is a sign of death!" ”
After the news of Li Zicheng's Eastern Expedition reached Liaodong, Fan Wencheng wrote a book, pointing out that the general trend of the demise of the Ming Dynasty had been decided, and that the time was ripe for the Qing army to take over the world.
This traitor, even more agitated than his master, urged Dorgon to send troops, saying, "This is the time for those who steal only to achieve great deeds and die for eternity, and those who lose the opportunity and repent of the future are also at this time." ”
While pointing out that the time is ripe to enter the customs, and there is no regret for losing it, he also pointed out in the book, "Gai thinks that our country is a strong enemy, or it is a rogue." Just as Qin lost its deer, Chu and Han chased it. Although it competes with Ming for the world, it is also a corner with Liukou. ”
This provided a clear strategy for the Dongyu, which was to compete with the rogues.
In April, Dol Roll listened to Hong Chengchou's opinion and made it clear to the ministries that this time entering the customs was different from the previous plundering of property, but to enter the Central Plains. He demanded that the behavior of all ministries should not go overboard, that military discipline should be restrained, and that those who resist must be slaughtered and those who contribute must not be killed indiscriminately, and then adopt Hong Chengchou's opinion to enter the customs through the border wall of Jizhou to avoid the fortified city of Dunbing Mountain Pass.
Historically, on the way to the army, Dolgon unexpectedly received a letter of help from Wu Sangui, so he immediately changed his route and entered the customs through Shanhaiguan.
This time, I don't know why, but I broke through the border first, but the final result was almost the same, Wu Sangui surrendered, and Li Zicheng was defeated in Beijing.
Gao Yihuan couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, the mud can't support the wall! After all, it's still cheaper!
