Chapter 128: The Sorrowful City is in a trap
When the Laizhou army marched all the way to Beijing, Wen Tiren's blood letter for the war had also been sent to Emperor Chongzhen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Smack!" , After Emperor Chongzhen read the Laizhou Army's request for war blood, he slammed the dragon case, and was so excited that he almost stood up, which frightened His Royal Highness's Wen Tiren and Wang Chengen on the side!
Recently, the war in Beijing has been unfavorable, and the officers and soldiers have not been summoned for a long time. Suddenly got the good news that an army took the initiative to come to King Qin, how could he not make Zhu Youzhen excited.
"Good! The family is poor and filial piety, and the country is difficult to show loyalty! Wang Rui's department wept blood for battle, and his heart was in danger, which was really a model for all military generals! Wen Qing, do you know where the Laizhou army is now? ”
Emperor Chongzhen's pale and tired face flushed, and he asked Wen Tiren eagerly.
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the old minister only saw the Laizhou army messenger waiting on the street outside the military headquarters that day, the old minister felt that the general Wang and the Laizhou sergeants were loyal, but he couldn't let His Majesty know, so he presented it on his behalf, but he didn't know the whereabouts of the Laizhou army." Wen Tiren bowed down regretfully.
"Hey", Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly, and noticed that Wen Tiren was still standing, so he instructed Wang Chengen: "Wang Companion, quickly send someone to give Mr. Wen a seat!" "This Ming Dynasty is different from the Manchu Dynasty, after all, it is the inheritance of the Chinese Zhengshuo, and the etiquette civilization is not comparable to that of the Hulu Tatars.
Brilliant and bright, by no means like the Manchurian "I Daqing", no matter what level the official is, when he sees the Manchu Taijun, he has to kneel down and beat thousands, shouting Long live the master! The gap in civilization can be seen from Emperor Chongzhen's name for Wang Chengen and Wen Tiren.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was incompetent, was scandalized by the servant literati of the puppet Manchu Dynasty later, but when he called the eunuch close to him, he was also called "a certain companion". For example, Emperor Chongzhen called Wang Chengen "Wang Companion"!
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty politely addressed the important ministers such as scholars and scholars in various ministries, or the famous Hongru, as "Mr". Hamming's royal bearing, compared to the Tunguska Manchu, is really one in the sky and one in the ground.
However, the Confucian civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty, especially the extremely selfish and hypocritical scholars and traitors who relied on the Donglin Party as a group, were born in the blessings and did not know the blessings, but they had to collude with the Manchurians inside and outside, and desperately dug the corners of the Ming and Han families.
It wasn't until the building overturned and ushered in the barbaric and brutal Manchu that some virtuous scholars remembered the good coming of the old Zhu family. The old ancestor said well: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different!" The ancients did not deceive me!
After Wen Tiren saluted, he sat down, and Emperor Chongzhen comforted him again: "Wen Qing must not blame himself, Mr. can pass on on behalf of him, and he is very relieved to be loyal to the soldiers of Laizhou!" Thinking about it, the Laizhou army must have received the order of the military department, and it will be able to arrive in Zhili in the near future, and will defend Shenjing with all armies! ”
"Your Majesty! The slave maid was in Denglai before, and she had seen this king and general, and she was indeed a loyal and brave person, unlike other martial arts generals, who were afraid of the enemy and afraid of death. Otherwise. I won't cry blood and fight! This is all Your Majesty's blessing! Wang Chengen accepted a lot of gold and silver from Wang Rui, and introduced Wang Rui as a confidant, so he stood up and said good things for him.
"Wang Companion, you have been saying good things about Wang Rui. But last time I received a lot of silver taels from him? "Emperor Chongzhen is so smart, he somewhat understands what happened after the incident, and said half jokingly and half knocking.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the slave and maid did accept it. The general also asked His Majesty if it was good to eat, and the slave had to tell the truth. When Wang Rui heard this, he burst into tears at that time and said: The last general will take the fugitives from Liaodong to plough in Fushan Bay, Laizhou, although the life is tight, he will not eat like this, I never thought that I am brilliant and bright, and the Son of Heaven would save so much. The subordinates still have 10,000 taels of silver left, and they are willing to be enshrined as the Holy Son of Heaven! Wang Chengen knelt down in fear.
"This Wang Ruineng gathered the fugitives from Liaodong to reclaim the land, and he made a contribution to the country. Thinking that this fugitive from Liaodong is also my child, how can I bear to take the food from his mouth? Emperor Chongzhen sighed.
"Your Majesty is merciful! The state has a holy monarch, and the party produces a good general! Your Majesty! Wen Tiren was happy when he saw Emperor Chongzhen, and he was also playing a round on the side.
"Hey, if my Ming army is like Wang Rui, why not be afraid of rampant captives! Wang Banban, as soon as there is news of Wang Rui and the Laizhou Army, I will definitely report it to me immediately! Emperor Chongzhen finally commanded.
This "change of self-righteousness" really dealt a heavy blow to the young Emperor Chongzhen, and made his "young heart" very hurt.
First of all, in this aspect of Shanhaiguan, Manchu has made such a big move, and the Guanning military, as the main force to resist the enemy, has not reported any military reports. In any case, this Yuan Chonghuan and General Guan Ning are dereliction of duty. And what he did afterwards also disappointed the young son of heaven who had high hopes for Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ningjun.
On the day of Wuyin in October, the Manchu army broke through the Xifeng Pass of the Great Wall and captured Zunhua, and the Beijing division was shaken and martial law was imposed, and at the same time the edict was issued to all the soldiers and horses to Qin Wang.
Yuan Chonghuan's troops, who were in the vicinity of Shanhaiguan, arrived in Jizhou on November two days before the arrival of the Manchu troops, and Yuan Chonghuan was supposed to block the invading enemy on the line from Jizhou to Tongzhou and fight a decisive battle here to ensure the safety of the capital. Emperor Chongzhen also gave Yuan Chonghuan the power to organize various Qin Wang armies to facilitate his actions.
However, Yuan Chonghuan deployed the troops who arrived to other defense lines, and transferred Liu Ce, who was originally stationed in Jizhou, away, while he himself personally led the Guanning army to hide in the city of Jizhou, and promised Emperor Chongzhen that "the enemy will not be allowed to cross Jixi".
Of course, it turns out that he once again made a "big fool"!
The black child of the Manchu slave chief (the black child is commonly known as Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji is actually the name of the Manchu self-whitewash, and this book is not recognized, so it is called his real name. After learning that Yuan Chonghuan was sitting in Jizhou, he did not attack Jizhou, but "avoided the real and attacked the false", bypassed Jizhou at night, and thus "usurped Jizhou" and forced Beijing.
After Yuan Chonghuan found that the Houjin army had crossed the defensive line, he did not pursue the Houjin army, but rushed to Beijing through another road to avoid the Manchu army.
Six days later, on the evening of November Dingyou, Yuan Chonghuan's troops arrived outside the Guangqu Gate in Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan was called in for reinforcements, but he allowed the enemy cavalry to loot and burn the houses, and did not dare to add up to each other, allowing the people to be ravaged by the enemy cavalry.
But even so, Emperor Chongzhen immediately summoned him, gave him great condolences, and gave him imperial food and mink fur. However, Yuan Chonghuan asked to enter the city to rest on the grounds that the soldiers were tired.
My brother, you're here to rescue Jingshi! You didn't take a large army to fight the captives, but you want to enter the city of Beijing at such a time of danger, what are you going to do? Anyone with a little brain won't let you into the city. Therefore, his request was not granted, and he had to garrison his troops outside the Guangqu Gate in Beijing.
Two days later, in the early morning, the Ming army and the Manchu army fought outside the Guangqu Gate, with Zu Dashou on the south side, Wang Chengyun on the southwest side, and Yuan Chonghuan on the west side.
The first battle of Beijing Gate was first started outside the Desheng Gate, and the Ming army outside the city was mainly the Qinwang troops of the Datong General Soldier Man Gui and the Xuanfu General Soldier Hou Shilu, and the garrison troops on the city also participated in the battle. During the Battle of Deshengmen, Hei Zi (Hei Zi is commonly known as Huang Taiji) personally led the Great Bel Daishan and Belezir Harang, Yue Xu, Du Du, Sakhalian, etc., to lead the four banners of the right wing of the Manchu captives, as well as the Mongolian soldiers on the right flank, and launched a fierce attack on the troops of Man Gui and Hou Shilu.
The Manchurian army launched a first-class artillery bombardment. After the cannon was fired, the Mongolian soldiers and the Zhenghongqi guards attacked from the west, and the Zhenghuang Banner guards rushed to kill from the side. The two armies rushed in, killing and advancing, fighting hard, and chasing them to the bottom of the city. The Ming army in the city bravely bent their bows and fired artillery to bombard the enemy.
Soon, Hou Shilu's army was defeated, and Man Gui led his army to fight alone. The Ming soldiers in the city cooperated with the artillery, but they accidentally injured the officers and soldiers of Mangui and suffered heavy casualties. Man Gui was wounded in many places, and when he led the defeated soldiers to Yuan Chonghuan's headquarters, Yuan Chonghuan actually ordered the Ming army to fire arrows at Man Gui and others.
In desperation, Man Gui had no choice but to retreat to the Guandi Temple outside the city with the remaining more than 100 people to rest. The next day, the defenders opened the urn city of Desheng Gate for the remnants of Mangui to recuperate.
