In response to the provocation of the Ming army, Gao Yihuan set a strategy of forbearance, issued an order to reprimand Zhao Zhuzi, and asked people to copy the edict in the newspaper and publish it to the public.
The content of this will is very simple, first explain that this time the official ship of Wei was sunk by the Ming army, more than ten soldiers died tragically, and then criticized Zhao Zhuzi for not being calm enough, explaining that now is the critical moment to resist the Qing Dynasty, when such a thing happens, King Gao is very distressed, reprimanded Zhao Zhuzi for doing things regardless of the overall situation, warned him to be patient, and finally cut him off the title of governor and fined him for three months.
In addition, Gao Yihuan also went to Nanjing, to the effect that His Majesty beat my people, but I don't blame Your Majesty, I am now concentrating on recovering the lost territory, and I hope that Your Majesty will not affect my recovery of Beijing.
As soon as these two things were done, it was immediately shown that the character of King Wei brought out Zhu Cihong's reactionary nature.
In fact, occupying morality is not particularly important to Gao Yihuan, he is just fighting for the advantages that Zhu Cihong has, to attack, further attack Zhu Cihong, and expand his advantages.
Gao Yihuan really relies on force, the reason doesn't need to be very reasonable, just find a few excuses, and reluctantly.
For Zhu Cihong, morality and orthodoxy are his reliance, because he is already at a disadvantage in other aspects, so he can only maintain an advantage.
When Zhu Cihong saw Gao Yihuan's recital, he knew that he was still one section short of Gao Yihuan.
At this time, in Huguang, the Ming army saw that a provocation did not achieve its goal, and it really provoked again, and after Zhao Zhuzi received Gao Yihuan's secret letter, he immediately put on a posture of forbearance.
At this moment, even some people who sympathize with Nanming feel that Nanjing is a bit excessive, the Wei army is attacking Luoyang, you don't help, and you always make trouble for the Wei army, which is a bit too much.
In this regard, the governor of the south bank was angry, the Wei army obviously had the strength to fight back, but he couldn't fight back, scolded him and didn't fight back, and he was even more angry like a daughter-in-law.
This made the Ming army find that they were still too far behind the scoundrels and hooligans.
When there was friction between the Ming army and the Wei army in Huguang, the Wei army's attack on Luoyang was proceeding step by step.
In this battle, the Wei army judged that it was bound to be like a bamboo, destroying and sweeping Henan.
As early as after the Battle of Hedong, the Wei army was actually ready to attack Luoyang, and the supplies had already been prepared, but after receiving the order, the Wei army still prepared for more than a month before launching an attack.
In the past month or so, the Wei army was not all used to prepare money and grain, but because many Henan generals had gone up to the army, expressing their hope that they would participate in the expedition and recover their hometown.
At this time, Geng Zhongming was no longer in Luoyang, and the Wei army judged that Luoyang was not difficult to fight, so Gao Yihuan agreed to the request of some generals to let them participate in the battle to recover Zhongzhou and enjoy the glory of recovering their hometown.
The facts are clear, the beginning of the war, indeed as the Wei army expected, the wind fell from all over the place, the Wei army swept through northern Henan like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, many generals also rode horses to their hometowns around, and some people gave incense to the ancestral tombs.
In just one month, the Wei army attacked the city and plundered the land in Henan, recovering large areas of land in Ruzhou, Henan, Kaifeng, and Huaiqing, and surrounded the Qing army in Luoyang City.
At this time, in the entire northern Henan, the Qing army was left with only a lonely city in Luoyang, and only 7,000 Qing troops were left in the city.
When the Wei army entered the city of Luoyang, Jin Shenghuan and many Wei troops thought that they could take Luoyang quickly, but the lonely city of Luoyang blocked them.
The 7,000 Qing army was not led by Geng Zhongming, but was guarded by the full generals Gushan Ezhen Hetuo and Zhengbai Banner Meler Ezhen Zhumala.
Dolroll was unwilling to consume the full army, but in Luoyang City, he sent five Niu Lu's full soldiers, a total of more than 1,500 people, plus 6,000 elite Han banners to garrison.
Originally, Luoyang was garrisoned by Geng Zhongming, but at this time, Geng Zhongming was transferred to Shandong to preside over the suppression of bandits, and he left with his dependents of 6,000 Han banners.
The Qing army arranged it this way because sticking to Luoyang was a matter of life and death for the Qing army.
The nine deaths were killed in the city, and the whole life was to surrender to the Wei army, and there seems to be no other way out.
The Qing army needed Luoyang to delay the Wei army's attack, exchange space for time, and buy time for navigation.
For the Qing court, Geng Zhongming was very reliable, but he was not a Manchu after all, and Geng Zhongming clearly knew that there would be no reinforcements in Luoyang, so if he was left to guard Luoyang, he could still surrender to the Wei army.
For this reason, Dolgon transferred Geng Zhongming out of Luoyang and sent two full generals to take over the city defense.
Of course, Dolgon would not tell him about these concerns, but ordered them to hold out for at least three months, and if there were no reinforcements in March, they could choose to break out and surrender.
If the city is destroyed and killed within the time limit, the Qing Dynasty will treat their family well, and if they surrender, they will kill their entire family.
This is true for the two generals, and naturally the same policy is applied to the soldiers in the city.
Dorgon is ruthless, and in order to achieve his goals, he is also the same for his own people, and his hand is indeed more effective.
The Wei army's three-way army, swept Henan, and did not encounter any resistance all the way, all of them surrendered to the wind, but after meeting the city of Luoyang, they were fiercely resisted by the Qing army.
In November, heavy snow fell in Zhongzhou, and the land and the city in the distance were snow-white.
On the city of Luoyang, the Qing soldiers carried buckets to water the city wall, and the city wall was covered with a thick layer of ice, smooth and hard, so that there was no place for the soldiers to take the city to help.
Outside Luoyang City, in the Wei army camp, Jin Shenghuan stood in front of the sand table, Wu Shizhao and Bai Wenxuan stood aside, scanning the model of Luoyang City together.
At this time, Bai Wenxuan spoke: "The Tartars in the city repeatedly splash water on the city every day, and the ground under the city walls and corners is covered with a layer of ice, which is very smooth, and the soldiers are easy to fall when they walk under the city, let alone attack the city. ”
After the Wei army came to the city of Luoyang, it surrendered according to the custom, thinking that the Qing army would surrender.
Because in the eyes of the Wei army, holding on is a dead end, and there is really no need for that, but the Wei army did not expect that the reply in the city was rather strange, and asked to surrender after three months.
Naturally, the Wei army could not accept such conditions, so they organized several attacks, but they were all repulsed by the Qing army.
Wu Shizhao said: "The king sent a letter saying that the Ming army was provoking in Huguang, and it was inevitable that there would be a lot of dreams at night, and I hope we can take Luoyang soon." I took a look at this Luoyang City, the city is tall and strong, not very easy to fight, but it is not without weaknesses. This city is too big, and there are many gates, but there are relatively few soldiers and horses in the city. ”
