Let's turn back the clock to more than a month, after King Fu had just declared himself in charge of the kingdom and had an edict issued to Nanking and other regions. Although there were many struggles in the south since then, none of these things were taken to heart by Zheng Sen, Wu Sangui, or even by Fu Wangtai. Because Jianxin's army has approached Shanhaiguan.

At the beginning of June, Jian Yan sent an envoy to Shanhaiguan, asking Wu Sangui to personally go to the camp of the Qing army, meet with the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji, and switch to surrender. Wu Sangui made a move that was completely beyond the Manchu estimate. He told Gao Hongzhong, the envoy sent by the Qing army, that he did plan to surrender to the Qing Dynasty a while ago, but that was because the imperial court and the Son of Heaven no longer existed, and there was no one to manage things. And he was willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, also because he hoped to use the power of the Qing Dynasty to avenge Emperor Daxing. As for now, King Fu has been appointed as the prisoner of the country, and the world already has a legitimate master, and his Wu family has been blessed by the Ming Dynasty for generations, since the Ming Dynasty now has a master, he naturally has to obey the orders of this new master. His Royal Highness King Fu, who was in charge of the country, did not agree with him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, nor did he agree with the Qing Dynasty to send troops to help the Ming Dynasty suppress bandits, and naturally he would not allow the Qing army's army to enter Shanhaiguan. Therefore, he can no longer open the Shanhai Pass to let the Qing army in as agreed.

"Tired of your army driving all the way, Sangui is really grateful and ashamed. It's just that the king's order is like this, but it's not Sangui who can call the shots. After returning from the bothersome envoys, on behalf of Sangui, I would like to extend my sincere greetings and thanks to Your Majesty. When sending Gao Hongzhong away, Wu Sangui said this to him.

Gao Hongzhong pointed at Wu Sangui with a sincere face, he was trembling with anger, he endured and endured, so he didn't shout to Wu Sangui, "I have never seen such a brazen person", and finally he flicked his sleeves and left Shanhaiguan. Looking at Gao Hongzhong, who walked out angrily, Wu Sangui also scolded in a low voice disdainfully: "Dog traitor!" ”

Of course, Wu Sangui knew that his actions would definitely greatly anger the Qing army, but it was not for nothing that he dared to do so now. During this period of time, the transport ships on the Liao Sea were constantly coming and going, bringing a lot of good things to Wu Sangui: solid armor, sharp swords, and even cannons that "erode dozens of miles with one cannon". Today, there are more than 100 large and small cannons on Shanhaiguan (of course, there are many 3-pounder and 6-pounder guns with less power, but there are also real, 24-pounder Hongyi cannons) and they have received direct assistance from a group of well-trained gunners. In addition, it was enough food for Wu Sangui's army to eat for more than half a year, and the port on Lao Longtou's side was protected by the Zheng family's fleet, so he was not worried about being surrounded by Qing soldiers, so Wu Sangui felt that the strength in his hands was enough to withstand the attack of the Manchu Qing for a long time. And once the Manchus were angry and attacked the city......

Wu Sangui came out of the city tower, the warm sun at the end of May was shining on his face, he turned his face to look east, where the mountains were undulating, and the Great Wall stretched along the mountain, zigzag towards the sea, like a vigorous dragon. Less visible farther away. But Wu Sangui knew that there was a small boat with a strange style, and once it sailed, it was as fast as flying on the sea. Once the Qing troops outside the pass launched an attack on Shanhaiguan, they either left Shanhaiguan and crossed the Great Wall from other directions. (Wu Sangui felt that the dangerous terrain of Shanhaiguan was very difficult for the Manchus to attack, so as long as the Manchus were not mad, they should not attack Shanhaiguan directly, and even if they wanted to attack Shanhaiguan, they should first break through from somewhere else, and then attack behind Shanhaiguan from the pass.) Just as the art of war is concerned, this is indeed the correct way to open Shanhaiguan. The ship would immediately deliver the news to Zheng Sen, and then Zheng Sen would take his more than 10,000 men to Jinzhou by sea, and then land near the mouth of the Daling River, and with the support of inland river ships, go straight to Jinzhou along the Daling River. If you can capture Jinzhou before the return of the Manchu Qing brigade, of course, it is best, just because the navigation conditions of the Daling River are limited, although the Daling River is now in the flood season, the average water depth is about one zhang, and Zheng Sen also found some sailors and fishermen who ran on the Daling River in the past, and he also has a certain understanding of the route, but the width and depth of the Daling River are still a little insufficient for sea ships, and they can also run the warships of the river fleet, and although there is a place to set up a temporary wharf at the mouth of the Daling River, such a wharf, The throughput capacity was quite limited, it was difficult to unload heavy siege artillery, and the road from the mouth of the Daling River to Jinzhou was not very good, although the model army had heavy horses, but due to road restrictions, the transportation of heavy siege artillery was still very difficult. So the Model Army troops who went to attack Jinzhou had only 12-pounder guns to count on. Of course, Zheng Sen also prepared some other means in order to attack Jinzhou, but it is impossible to say whether it will work when the time comes.

……

Wu Sangui's reply naturally made Huang Taiji very angry, but in addition to the anger, Huang Taiji also knew that there must have been some unexpected changes. Otherwise, with Wu Sangui's situation and character, he would not have reacted like this. Huang Taiji thought about it in his mind, and he felt that Wu Sangui was able to react like this, most likely because of the support of the Ming Dynasty, and this support must also be the support of real money. Obviously, for Wu Sangui, if the Ming Dynasty court was still there, he would definitely feel that it was better to follow the Ming Dynasty court than to follow himself. Because the Ming Dynasty court can give him millions of salaries every year, this is not something that any other force can come up with.

"But isn't the Ming Dynasty court finished? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty built a new imperial court in such a short period of time and sent enough things to Wu Sangui? Huang Taiji thought like this, so he asked Gao Hongzhong with a calm face: "Wu Sangui said that he is under whose orders now?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the slave heard that it was the blessed king of the Ming Kingdom, and now he has become a prisoner." Gao Hongzhong knelt on the ground and replied.

Huang Taiji nodded, then turned to the other person standing aside: "Mr. Hong, who is this Fu King?" ”

This person is Hong Chengchou, but now he has shaved a money rat tail and put on the Manchu court clothes. When Hong Chengchou heard this, he stepped forward and bowed: "Long live, this Fu King is the son of the old Fu King of the Ming Kingdom, the old Fu King was killed by Li Chuang, but he escaped, and later inherited the title of the Fu King, according to the etiquette and law, except for the sons of Chongzhen Tianzi, he is indeed the closest vassal king to Chongzhen Tianzi." The slave used to hear that His Royal Highness the Blessed King was unlearned and greedy for immorality. Today, this rumor seems to be a little inaccurate. His Royal Highness the Blessed King, I'm afraid he really has some ability. ”
