After learning of Li Hongyu's migration plan, Jin Taishi and Buyangu summoned the generals of the clan as quickly as possible to discuss the matter of migration, after all, this matter is very important, and the two of them must listen to the opinions of others. (2) (5) (8)

Of course, the two concealed Li Hongyu's identity, after all, Li Hongyu's identity was too important to be leaked, so they told the generals attending the meeting that the two received an official document from the Ming court asking them to relocate.

The generals immediately buzzed about this matter, and there were three ways to go in front of them, one way was to defend the two cities in the east and west, live and die with these two cities, and if they were lucky, they would catch up with the reinforcements of the Ming army; One way is to take advantage of the fact that the Houjin army has not yet come to migrate; The third is the surrender of the Jin army.

Although Yehebu has a blood feud with Nurhachi, it is a matter for the leaders, like the generals and the common people, but they have no enmity with Nurhachi, so they will not have to worry about their lives if they surrender.

If the three roads are compared together, it is naturally better to migrate, and now fighting with Houjin is simply looking for death.

Therefore, the generals on the scene discussed some details of the migration and what might have happened, and finally decided to move to Ningyuan.

After the discussion, Jin Taishi and Buyangu told Li Hongyu the result, and Li Hongyu was very pleased with this, and asked the two to prepare for the migration at once, when Bahat and Angan would have the soldiers of Nekharkha escort the Yehbu on this migration.

There were nearly 100,000 people in the Yehe tribe, so it was not easy to manage such a large migration, so Jintaishi and Buyangu were busy and sent people everywhere to rule the tribes living in the mountains.

Of course, not everyone was willing to follow Jintaishi and Buyangu to withdraw, after all, this was their home, and their belongings were here, and it was not them who Nurhachi had to deal with.

For the troops who Naxi did not want to leave, Jin Taishi and Buyangu used iron-blooded methods, forcing them to take their things and drag their children and daughters on the journey, they did not want to leave these civilians to the American army.

"My lord, it's not good, Kaiyuan City has been occupied by Jiannu!" In mid-June, when Li Hongyu was helping Jin Taishi and Buyangu with their migration, Man Gui suddenly rushed to tell him the bad news he had just received.

"Alas!" Li Hongyu had been mentally prepared for this, and was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly, what should come will always come.

According to Mangui's knowledge from the soldiers who escaped from Kaiyuan City, on the 10th day of the first month of June, Nurha Chiqin led 40,000 Eight Banner soldiers to conquer Kaiyuan, and in order to confuse the Ming army in Liaodong, he deliberately played a careful trick, and went straight to Shenyang with a small force as a suspicious soldier, while the main force entered Jing'an Fort and broke through to Kaiyuan City on the 16th.

In the face of the sudden appearance of the Houjin soldiers, the soldiers and civilians of Kaiyuan City fought hard, so that the Houjin soldiers encountered stubborn resistance, and the battle was very fierce.

In order to conquer Kaiyuan City as soon as possible, the Houjin soldiers attacked the city from the north, west and south, although the general soldier Ma Lin did not perform well in the Battle of Salhu, but he did not desert this time but led his troops to fight back, repelling Houjin's three attacks in a row, making Houjin pay a lot of casualties.

Because the main force of the defenders of Kaiyuan City was lost in the Battle of Sarhu, and the reinforcements of the imperial court were delayed, the main force defending the city became the people in the city, and it can also be seen that the people of Liaodong sharpened their resolute character and tenacious style in the war.

Originally, the soldiers and civilians in the city were united under the leadership of Ma Lin, so that when the Houjin army, which lacked the tools and experience to attack a fortified city like Kaiyuan City, was helpless, the spies sent by Nurhachi to the city suddenly opened the city gate, and the Houjin soldiers seized the gate and entered, and the city was suddenly in chaos.

The people are the people, and are they the opponents of the soldiers who are armed? Due to the retaliatory barbaric massacre carried out by the Houjin army against the people in the city who fought bravely,

In order not to be enslaved by the Houjin soldiers, but also knew that the Houjin army acted cruelly, so when the city was broken, the weak people fought to hang themselves, almost every beam in the house hung corpses, some families hanged, and even five or six-year-old children hanged themselves.

According to the Korean history books, the Houjin army killed 50,000 or 60,000 people in Kaiyuan, plundered people, livestock and property, and the generals such as Ma Lin, Yu Hualong, Gao Zhen, and Yu Shouzhi were all killed in battle, and no one surrendered.

"My lord, Jiannu is so hateful that he slaughtered the city!"

After reporting the situation to Li Hongyu, Man Gui said to Li Hongyu with red eyes, as a soldier, he couldn't wait to run to Kaiyuan City now to kill those evil Houjin soldiers.

"Send someone back to Shenyang to give an order, and let the stand-in return to Yaque Pass!" Li Hongyu frowned and groaned for a while, and then said to Man Gui in a deep voice behind his back, "Tell Old General Li that everything is normal on the official's side and let him act according to the plan." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it." Man Gui heard the words to Li Hongyu and bowed his hand, and quickly left to arrange, although he didn't know what agreement Li Hongyu had with Li Rubai, but it could be seen that Li Hongyu had begun to prepare for a counterattack, so his spirit was lifted, and he couldn't wait to kill all those Houjin troops to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"The official is sorry for you, but the official is helpless to do this, even if the official goes, he can't hold Kaiyuan and Tieling."

After Man Gui left, Li Hongyu came to the window and looked at a flower garden in the courtyard with a wry smile, the only thing he could do was to order the people of Kaiyuan and Tieling to withdraw, but in this way, these two important military towns were given to Houjin in vain, and he was bound to be impeached by the officials of the capital, and he didn't want to provoke this trouble.

Obviously, the generals of Liaodong knew that Kaiyuan and Tieling, who were short of troops, could not stop the offensive of the Houjin army, but no one dared to propose to let the soldiers and civilians of these two cities withdraw, and everyone wanted to protect themselves.

Li Hongyu is no exception, he is now walking on thin ice in the officialdom, how can he easily take risks? The order to retreat, while easy to make, can have more serious consequences.

"Could it be that you just watched Tieling being slaughtered by the Houjin soldiers?" Thinking about it, Li Hongyu couldn't help but slam his fist on the windowsill, and asked softly, with an unusually serious look on his face.

Originally, Li Hongyu thought that he was ready to sacrifice the people of Kaiyuan and Tieling, but now it seems that his heart is not so cold-blooded, and he can't sit back and watch the people of Tieling being slaughtered.

If Li Hongyu is not mistaken, Tieling City, like Kaiyuan City, was also massacred by the Houjin army after the city was broken because the soldiers and civilians in the city resisted hard.

It is worth mentioning that in history, after learning that Kaiyuan City was captured by the Houjin army, Yang Hao, who was still in office at that time, appointed Li Chengliang's third son, Li Ruzhen, to guard Tieling and serve as the chief soldier of Tieling.

Li Ruzhen originally served in the Jinyi Guard in the capital, and later learned that Li Ruzhen was sent by the imperial court to suppress the battle after Li Rubai's suicide, after all, Li Ruzhen was the son of Li Chengliang, and Li Chengliang had a very high prestige in Liaodong.

The reason why Yang Hao appointed Li Ruzhen to guard Tieling was not only because Tieling has important military value, but also because Tieling is Li Chengliang's hometown, and the Li clan and ancestral tomb are in Tieling, so he should protect Tieling.

In addition, Yang Hao also wants to use the relationship between the Li family and Nurhachi to prevent Nurhachi from attacking Tieling, he thinks that if Li Ruzhen guards Tieling, then Nurhachi, who has a good personal relationship with Li Ruzhen, will not tear his face and attack Tieling, and although Li Ruzhen is friendly with Nurhachi, he will not fail to protect the Li family clan in Tieling.

However, the facts disappointed Yang Hao, at that time there were already reinforcements arrived in Shenyang, which made Li Ruzhen have a lot of troops stationed in Tieling, but Li Ruzhen and he did not go to Tieling but hid in Shenyang, and when Nurhachi attacked Tieling, he did not save his troops.

Contrary to Li Ruzhen, the soldiers and civilians of Tieling fought bloodily like the soldiers and civilians of Kaiyuan, defending Tieling with blood and lives.

Because of the fear that the Ming army would come to the rescue of Tieling, therefore, the Houjin army chose to besiege the city from all sides, and the soldiers and civilians in the city united as one, under the leadership of Yu Chengming, Wu Gongqing, Shi Ketai and other generals, they gave the invading enemy a heavy blow, and the Houjin soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

However, just when the battle was in full swing, Tieling's general Ding Bi opened the city gate and threw himself at Nurhachi in order to survive.

The reinforcements led by Li Ruzhen and others arrived belatedly, and after the fall of Tieling, the soldiers cut off a part of the heads of the dead soldiers of Houjin, and went back to ask for rewards.

After learning the truth of the matter, the officials in the capital impeached Li Ruzhen's performance in Liaodong, so Li Ruzhen was first dismissed from his official position, and soon he was arrested and imprisoned, and was sentenced to death by Yousi Yamen because of the disadvantage of rescuing Tieling and risking merit to ask for rewards.

However, Emperor Wanli was grateful for Li Chengliang's contribution to the Ming Dynasty and did not issue an edict to kill him, but locked him in prison, and in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Li Ruzhen was commuted to death to confiscate the army, and then relied on Li Chengliang's exploits to pick up a life.

The fall of Kaiyuan and Tieling not only allowed the Later Jin to open the gateway to Liaoyang and Shenyang, but also cut off the Ming Dynasty from the Inner Khalkha and Korqin tribes in Mongolia, as well as the Jurchen Yehe tribe and other departments.

It is precisely because of this that Li Hongyu will take great pains to move the Yehe tribe away, otherwise the Yehe department will definitely be annexed by Nurhachi.

"Come, let Bahat, Ang'an, Jintaishi, and Buyangu come to see the official." Li Hongyu frowned and thought for a while, then gave an order to the guards standing at the door in a deep voice.

As the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, he should not ignore the people of Tieling, so he made up his mind and prepared to find a way to rescue the people of Tieling, and at the same time, he also wanted Nurhachi to know that he, the governor of Liaodong, was not easy to provoke.

Soon, Bahat, Ang'an, Jintaishi and Buyangu were invited to Li Hongyu's residence, and they also heard the news of the fall of Kaiyuan City, so they all looked serious.

"Bahattaiji, when will your 20,000 Khalkha reinforcements arrive?" After everyone sat down, Li Hongyu quietly asked Bahat, the reinforcements of the Khalkha Ministry are now an important military force in his hands.

"Your Excellency, I guess you can arrive later this month." Hearing this, Bahat bowed slightly to Li Hongyu and replied, this time 20,000 people were mobilized, so the time to arrive was later than the scheduled deadline.

"You tell the leading Taiji to tell them not to enter the customs for the time being after they arrive, and wait for the order of the official." Li Hongyu bowed slightly, and then commanded in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, I'll send someone to deliver the news." Bahat nodded vigorously.

"Two generals, this official wants to fight Nurhachi, so I hope that the two generals can gather 10,000 warriors for this official." Afterwards, Li Hongyu looked at Jin Taishi and Buyangu, and said with a serious expression, "The wounded are in charge of treatment, and the war dead are paid ten taels of silver!" ”

"My lord's words are serious, this is my business." Jin Taishi and Bu Yanggu glanced at each other when they heard this, and then they both bowed and replied, they are now in the same boat as Li Hongyu, and they will have to rely on Li Hongyu's care in the future, so they naturally have to contribute.

Moreover, they retreated without a fight during the Salhu War, and they have already received a lot of criticism, so they must correct their names this time, only in this way can they have a place in Ningyuan in the future.

"Lord Governor, there are many slaves, and it is very unfavorable to us." After a deep groan, Jin Taishi looked at Li Hongyu with some concern.

He always paid close attention to the movements of the Houjin army, and naturally knew that this time Nurha Chiqin led 40,000 Eight Banner soldiers to attack Kaiyuan, and even if Mongolian reinforcements were counted, their strength was only 30,000, and it was difficult to be the fierce opponent of the Eight Banners.

Hearing this, the faces of Bahat, Ang'an and Buyangu all became solemn, and the most capable of fighting in the Liaodong region was Nurhachi's Eight Banner Soldiers, who had been competing with the Eight Banners for many years, winning less and losing more.

Now, the Jin soldiers have conquered Kaiyuan City with the aftermath of the Salhu War, and their morale is flourishing, and the four of Jin Taishi are not optimistic about Li Hongyu's attack when the troops are not superior.

"Rest assured, Jiannu will soon divide his troops and return to Hetuala, and the forces in front of us will be greatly reduced." Li Hongyu knew everyone's worries, so he said quietly, "This official has ordered that the officers and troops of Yaque Pass will enter Hetuara under the leadership of General Li Rubai, and the Nu Chief will definitely divide his troops to save him." ”

"Lord Governor, you want to fight Hetuala?" Hearing this, the four of Jin Taishi were taken aback, knowing that Hetu Ala was Nurhachi's lair, how could they give up easily, so they would definitely have a big battle with Li Rubai.

They didn't expect Li Hongyu's courage to be so big, after all, the new defeat of the Ming army had a psychological shadow on the Houjin soldiers, and they were also worried that Li Rubai would not be able to deal with Nurhachi.

"Rest assured, General Li Rubai has a good way of leading his troops, and he will definitely be cautious and not give the slave chiefs a chance." Li Hongyu knew that the four of Jin Taishi were shocked by the news, but he didn't expect him to start a big battle in Liaodong so soon, so he opened his mouth to explain.

In fact, Li Rubai was just a suspicious soldier along the way, and his purpose was naturally to contain Nurhachi's troops, and then create a fighter for Li Hongyu.

Li Hongyu believes that after the defeat in the last battle of Sarhu, Li Rubai will definitely act carefully, after all, he is also a famous general in Liaodong, with rich combat experience and the main forces of Liaodong such as the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, it is completely impossible for Nurhachi to defeat Li Rubai as easily as in the Battle of Salhu.

"My lord, when are we going to attack Jiannu?" Seeing Li Hongyu's confident look, Jin Taishi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then asked in a deep voice, he also wanted to have a good fight with Nurhachi before leaving, otherwise he didn't know when he would meet next time.

"Next month, the official will choose the right time to play." Li Hongyu pondered for a moment and commanded in a deep voice, "From now on, I hope everyone can prepare for the battle with all their strength and strive to win this battle." ”

"Obedience." Hearing this, the four of Jin Taishi hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Hongyu together, although Li Hongyu was young, he had a natural leader's temperament, which made them awe of Li Hongyu and did not dare to despise him.
