1071 The Emperor's Intentions
All kinds of flags, hunting in the wind, but also people can see at a glance that these flags are all old goods, and there are even flags with traces of repair.
However, at this time in the city of Shenyang, no one cares about these, their faces, there are tragic, excited, naturally also panic and fear, many emotions converge, waiting for the upcoming decisive battle, to decide their fate!
In the silence, Huang Taiji was at the head of the city, and suddenly burst into a shout, shouting: "Sacrifice the flag!" “
As soon as the words fell, a group of people were dragged by the palace guards in yellow coats and went up to the city, exposing everyone's present.
Among these people, although they also have money rat tails, they can still distinguish at a glance in front of the Manchurians, these are not their people, but Han people.
Everyone was curious, and for a while, the whispers under the originally solemn Shenyang city converged into a lot of noise.
"Who are these people? Why did the emperor sacrifice their flags? ”
"It should be the Han Army Flag, why do you sacrifice the flag with them?"
“……”
Most of the Manchu soldiers had doubts and were not clear about the situation. But among so many people, when Huang Taiji ordered the arrest of those people in advance, he did not do it secretly, so no matter what, there were always some people who knew about it.
"These are all from Fan Wencheng's dog thief's house, not one of them stayed, all of them were captured to sacrifice the flag!"
"Those few leaders, do you see? It was Fan Wencheng's brother who was a dog thief, and his father, the last time the Fan family was destroyed, they happened to be not in Shenyang and escaped. I can't escape this time! ”
"Fan Wencheng, that dog thief, is really ruined now, it's really happy!"
“……“
Basically, no one wondered why their emperor would use Fan Wencheng's family to sacrifice the flag? Because Fan Wencheng is not a good thing in the impression of these ordinary Manchu soldiers. Otherwise, there would not have been the last time to smash and burn Fan Mansion.
And those high-level Manchu leaders, they are more rational, but because they know the reason why they want to take Fan Wencheng's family to sacrifice the flag, they have no opinion one by one.
Fan Wencheng is incompetent, and if he goes to the customs and doesn't return, it doesn't matter, the internal response he arranged, and let the Qing Dynasty fall for the Ming army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! Such a national war related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty, but the beginning was so unfavorable, who is responsible for this?
It is impossible for Huang Taiji, and it is impossible for other princes and Baylor, who can be responsible and should be responsible, only Fan Wencheng who is not here!
The crime of sacrificing the flag is very simple, colluding with the Ming army, eating inside and outside, and plotting against the Qing Dynasty, so enough!
Gagged, unable to shout grievances, the tears shed could not be exchanged for regret medicine, the knife fell from the hand, the clicking sound, the heads of the Fan family fell to the ground, and the splashed blood polluted the city wall! As for whether these people will go to Fan Wencheng to cry or settle accounts after they die, it is unknown!
The Fan family in Liaodong, the Fan family that prides itself on being the descendants of Fan Zhongyan, has become extinct!
At the sound of an order, the whole army marched. Every Manchu soldier, the moment he turned to leave, would look deeply at the city of Shenyang. Whether it is resolute, reluctant, or something else, in the end, you can only turn around and embark on the journey!
"Report, as soon as our army came out of the Tiger Skin Station, it did not collect a large number of Ming troops at night, and they fought and did not enter!"
"Report, the Ming army does not appear around the Tiger Skin Post at night, and the Tiger Skin Post is in an emergency!"
"Report ......"
The battle situation ahead, like flowing water, constantly reported to the Manchu Qing Chinese army, where the royal car was, Huang Taiji listened to these probe horse prayers, his face was very gloomy. Lu Xiangsheng sent out so many nights, it seems that it is inevitable for Liaoyang.
"Where is the worship?" Huang Taiji suddenly shouted.
"The minions are here!" As soon as he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, bent down, and bowed his head to listen to the order.
Huang Taiji stared at his pigtails and said unusually sternly: "You choose an elite exploration horse, and you must break through to Liaoyang and find out the battle situation in Liaoyang." If you don't achieve your goal, you don't have to come back to see me! ”
"Ming dogs are a bunch of stupid pigs, and the minions will come when they go, and they will live up to Your Majesty's will!" Ao Bai did not hesitate, responded loudly, stood up, turned and left.
Watching Ao Bai leave with confidence, Huang Taiji's mood was unexpectedly a little better. At this time, he needs self-confidence like Aobai the most. He looked left and right, and issued a stern order: "Before this evening, the whole army must arrive at the Tiger Skin Station, and those who arrive late will be killed!" ”
With this will, the march of the army was noticeably much faster.
The tiger skin post he said happened to be sixty miles away from Liaoyang and sixty miles away from Shenyang, located in the middle of Liaoyang and Shenyang.
This tiger skin post, built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, is one of the three post cities of Gongwei Liaoyang. There is a ten-mile long river on the side, and in terms of geographical location, it is naturally not as steep as Anshan Post Fort, easy to defend and difficult to attack. But its important role is to connect the intermediate node between Liaoyang and Shenyang, and is a traffic artery.
Tiger Skin Station, one hundred and thirty steps around, at first there was only the south gate. After Nurhachi occupied the Tiger Skin Post, the north gate was opened. There are delivery stations in the city, tiger skin post barracks, barracks and other facilities, during the Wanli period, Liaodong general He Shixian and the famous general Chai Guozhu successively stationed troops in the tiger skin post city, the Ming Dynasty Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi had garrisoned here, but it was very short.
In 1621, it was Huang Taiji who led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hupiyi, and Liang Zhongshan, the defender at that time, was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled, thus adding a sum of money to Huang Taiji's credit book.
The reason why Huang Taiji chose to set off early the next morning was that it was a one-day trip for the infantry army, which just happened to reach the Tiger Skin Station, so that there was no need to camp in the wild, and it was much safer. And then relying on the tiger skin post, you can reach Liaoyang in one day, and you can retreat to this guard.
Of course, the Tiger Skin Station is certainly not as strong as Shenyang or Liaoyang, after all, it is just a post station, and the role it bears is not to defend against the enemy, but to be a traffic artery. But even so, it is also the best camping place for Huang Taiji.
For this point, Emperor Chongzhen's side is also clear. At this time, he was listening to the military intelligence report from the night in front of him: "Shenyang Nu Chief Taiji personally came to 20,000 horses, including 2,000 cavalry, and is heading to the Tiger Skin Station. ”
"Shenyang Tanma tried to go south to Liaoyang, but was repelled by our army!"
"Our department has shrunk from the Tiger Skin Post at night, and the night harvest in the north of the Tiger Skin Post has been hidden in the mountains and forests."
"The slave chief really sent a large number of scout horses, fearless of death, and rushed to Liaoyang. Our troops obeyed the order to intercept it, and when they saw the head of Liaoyang City, they repelled it. “
“……”
Everything is going according to plan, giving Huang Taiji hope of rescue so that his courage will not be broken. Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied with what he heard, and immediately said to the generals below: "Tonight, the reinforcements from Shenyang will definitely spend the night in the Tiger Skin Station." According to the plan, I led the new army to set off, and the other armies, all under the command of Lu Qing, surrounded Liaoyang, and waited for me to return to the division. ”
After he said this, Lu Xiangsheng still couldn't help it, and said: "Your Majesty is already a royal driver, there is no need to go to the Tiger Skin Station again." The army of the slave chieftain is not comparable to others. The dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and under the dying struggle, he also had to take precautions. If you are willing to fight for Your Majesty, you will bring back the head of the slave chief and dedicate it to Your Majesty! ”
Other generals are not qualified to advise. However, from their faces, it can also be seen that they agree with Lu Xiangsheng's statement and feel that Emperor Chongzhen personally went to the Tiger Skin Station, which is a bit too dangerous.
However, it was obvious that Emperor Chongzhen had made up his mind, so he saw him looking at Lu Xiangsheng and said categorically: "Back then, the Nu Chief dared to personally lead the army and threaten Yu I under the Jingshi City. Now that I am driving the expedition in person, under such an advantage, is it not as good as the slave chief? I just want to go there in person and tell the slave chiefs at the head of Tiger Skin Post City that I have not broken my promise, I am here! ”
When he said this, he saw that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to want to say more, so he sped up a little faster, and announced loudly in a categorical tone: "I just want to let the world know that what I said is the water that was spilled, and it was real!" Whoever dares not to believe and dare to provoke me, the slave chief is an example! ”
Hearing that the emperor raised this matter to the level of royal prestige, and wanted to show it to the people of the world, Lu Xiangsheng knew that he could no longer persuade him.
So, the matter was settled. The new army before and after a few times added up to more than 10,000. The first batch of new armies were the elite of the armies of all sides, mainly cold weapons. But the two subsequent additions were all firearms units.
The reason why Emperor Chongzhen chose to only take the new army to the expedition and to eliminate Huang Taiji in Hupiyi was to use this to establish his authority for himself and the new army. After all, the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty have not yet completed a comprehensive reform, and many places, such as the salt administration, have a huge relationship. What he said to Lu Xiangsheng just now was actually said to other people in Daming, this is his oath, whoever dares to jump out and make trouble, just jump out and try!
And only brought the new army forward, because the new army was formed by him, and this new army is the army that annihilates the slave chieftains, and it is the strongest army in the world. With this reliance, it will definitely be able to shock the minds of most people.
The reason why he did this was that he didn't actually want to kill people in the country. When the Ming Dynasty is now expanding, it is necessary to compete with Xiyi for global hegemony, and there are definitely not too many people in the Ming Dynasty! Those who can have the qualifications to raid their homes and exterminate their families are not ordinary people, and they can definitely contribute a lot to the spread of Chinese civilization by throwing them out to play with Xiyi.
At this time, although the Ming Dynasty is the most populous country, if you look at the world, this number is still not enough. After solving the food problem, it is time to vigorously encourage childbirth!
Emperor Chongzhen suddenly found that he seemed to be thinking a little far. After retracting his thoughts, he smiled, entered the chat group, and gave orders.
In the evening, the Manchu Emperor Huang Taiji led his soldiers and horses to arrive at the Tiger Skin Post as scheduled. Suddenly, the small tiger skin post was almost crowded with people. The crowd is full of people, and it is the most lively day for the tiger skin station.
Before Huang Taiji had time to take a breath, Ao Bai's right arm was bandaged, and blood was seeping out, but he didn't realize it, he quickly walked into the imperial camp, hit a thousand on one knee, and with a trace of exhaustion, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave does not dishonor the holy order, and I know that Liaoyang is still in the hands of my Daqing." ”
When Huang Taiji heard this, his heart was suddenly relieved. However, when he remembered something, he hurriedly asked: "The Ming army's hundred Hongyi cannons have not collapsed the city wall yet?" ”
When Ao Bai heard this, his face showed a hint of shame, and he bowed his head and replied: "The slaves led more than 100 horses to fight to the death, but they could only see the head of Liaoyang City, so they had to retreat. The Hongyi cannon of the Ming army was deployed in the south of the city, and the minions were not seen! ”
The elite scouts he selected were all determined to die in battle. The loss was more than half, and he was really unable to advance again, if he didn't retreat in time, he was afraid that no one would come to report the news, so he saw that the head of Liaoyang City, or the Qing defenders, hurriedly retreated.
At this time, although he thought he was the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty, he faced the swarming Ming army and saw the bravery of these Ming troops who did not collect at night, and had to admit that the Qing Dynasty would not be the opponent of the Ming army in the field scout war. Of course, if Hauge hadn't taken the two Yellow Flag elites away, he still felt that he had a fight.
After listening to Ao Bai's reply, Huang Taiji looked at his injuries and sighed slightly in his heart. He knew that Ao Bai must have done his best. So, with a little concern, he ordered: "Go down, re-bandage the wound, and don't leave any trouble!" ”
"Slaves obey!" After hearing this, Ao Bai stood up, bowed and walked back. His stride was not as great as before, and he was obviously exhausted.
Huang Taiji was silent for a moment, then walked out of the imperial camp, climbed to the head of the tiger skin station, and looked at the direction of Liaoyang with the last rays of the sunset.
At this time, in his field of vision, he could still vaguely see the traces of the Qing Dynasty's exploration horses, guarding the tiger skin station.
Although he didn't see the figure of the Ming army at night, Huang Taiji still sighed in his heart, the strength of the Ming army was stronger than he expected. This war is a matter of survival for the Qing Dynasty, whether he can win or not, he is really not sure in his heart.
Today, I may not see the figure of the Ming army not collecting at night, but this is the Qing Dynasty Tanma using their lives to defend the peace of the Tiger Skin Station. But tomorrow, maybe, tomorrow morning, the Ming army will appear around the Tiger Skin Post if it doesn't collect at night!
Due to the strength of the Ming army at night, the situation in Liaoyang could not be grasped in real time, which made Huang Taiji very worried. Zilharang, who was accompanying him on the side, also understood his worries, so he spoke: "Your Majesty, early tomorrow morning, the vanguard of the ministers should open the way first, and your Majesty will make a decision after finding out the situation and reporting back!" ”
Huang Taiji listened, turned his head and glanced at him, but he shook his head and did not agree: "Most of the troops of the Zhengbai Flag and the White Flag are in North Korea, and the elite of the two Yellow Flags have been taken away by Haoge, and now we don't have many troops at hand, so we can't divide the troops anymore." Whether it is dead or alive, whether the Qing Dynasty survives or dies, it depends on the full force of the army led by me, and I hope that Amin's side can retain its strength, cooperate with me to cooperate with the outside and the outside, and defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop. ”
Although the Qing Dynasty took out the only grain stockpile, there was not much food and did not support the protracted war. There are few soldiers and little food, and Huang Taiji does not have many choices.
When Zilharang heard this, he was silent, looking in the direction of Liaoyang with a heavy face, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
