Section 191 Da Ling River (1)
The negotiations were held in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and the nobles found that the famous Humbaturu was not terrible, but was a little timid towards them, especially as soon as Selgulun spoke, the other party was red-faced and repeatedly said yes, so Selgulun naturally became the chief representative of the delegation, and the delegates became bold and gradually began to point fingers.
The delegates recalled the traditional friendship with Tumut, which originated from the ten thousand households divided by Dayan Khan, fought side by side against the evil forces of Western Mongolia, and shared the Lama Yellow Religion, and the caravan from Fengzhou was also welcomed and protected by them, and the two sides had a basis for cooperation. They also reasoned with the facts, forcefully refuted the slander of Chahar Khan, and made it clear that they were not Mongol rebels, but Chahar Khan was a vicious Khan, and it was his perverse actions that divided the Mongol tribes and gave the Jin State an opportunity to take advantage of.
"The Mongols have a feud with Zhushen, we haven't forgotten, and they won't forget, Jin Guoqiang ordered us to follow their national system, did not allow us to trade with the Ming State on our own, did not allow us to sell soldiers to us, forcibly incorporated our elite into the Eight Banners, and had to let us give people and livestock to fight, we don't like the Jin State," Sergulun was very angry, pointing at Li Yu and said, "Hongbatulu, you have strong force, but you can't bully us, we are finished, Chahar Khan will also clean you up, the Han people say that this is called cold lips and teeth, Chahar Khan is mediocre and tyrannical and unworthy of your allegiance. ”
"What can I do, Fengzhou and Chahar are neighbors, we fight, who can help me fight against Jinguo, can you?" Li Yu couldn't stop shaking his head, seeing that the nobles didn't speak, he continued, "It's useless to think about what you think in your hearts, betraying the Great Khan is rebellion, I can only beat you, just like you, Mongolia will be completely enslaved by the Jin State." ”
"I heard that Humbatulu also has another identity - the chief soldier of the Ming State, may I ask if you are the Jinong of Mongolia or the chief soldier of the Ming State, is this also a betrayal of the Great Khan?" Selgulun has not been to Shenyang for a few days in vain, and the news is still relatively well-informed.
"It doesn't count! I had to step on two boats for the sake of Toyoshu's survival. Li Yu hurriedly denied it.
"We are also here to survive, and we are also stepping on two boats!" The nobles replied in unison.
"So, none of us are rebellious!" Sergulun was proud, smiled and said to Li Yu, "We are the people in the same boat, we should help each other, we can recognize your Hongbatulu Zun, regard you as a Mongolian nobleman, and we can also help you fight against Chahar Khan, if you fight against Jin or Ming in the future, we will also secretly help, and you must also protect us, how about it, you don't suffer a loss, right?" ”
"I've suffered a big loss, why should I believe what you say, and I want me to protect you, I'm most short of money now, if you have sincerity, take some money out," Li Yu became more and more philistine, and his heart opened his mouth, "How about 30,000 taels of silver, don't worry, I won't take it for nothing, I will exchange it for silver money, you can buy my goods with my silver money, I also have things owned by the Ming Dynasty, and the price is guaranteed to be fair, I can swear by God." ”
The deputies immediately quit, asking for money is their life, and besides, where did they find so much silver, the Karaqin people of Gulu Qibu can escape back to their nest and hide, but they still have to live and graze in this area, how can they not keep their promises? The delegates rejected Li Yu's unreasonable demands, but said that trade between the two sides really needed to be expanded, and that they would still help if the money had credit and could indeed buy the goods they urgently needed, such as grain, cloth, tea, and ironware.
Li Yu felt that he had suffered a loss, and the nobles were reluctant to pay, and when the two sides were a little deadlocked, Sergulun played a round, and we could not learn from Chahar Khan's extortion and miserliness, but we should all show sincerity, and we could swear by the sky together in the future, but the current matter is more urgent, Humbaturu must stop all hostilities, promise not to attack Ulan Hada, allow us to go out of the city to get water, graze, and protect our subordinates and cattle and sheep left on the pasture, but we will not let Humbaturu suffer, During this time, we have all the military supplies and some goods and livestock as a reward, so that it is fair to everyone.
Selgulun's opinion was agreed by both sides, and everyone ran to the tent to make an oath to heaven, and the negotiations ended temporarily. When the negotiation delegation was leaving, Selgulun avoided his companions again, and quietly found Li Yu and asked Erniu if he was here? Li Yu's face immediately turned red.
"I've heard about you in Shenyang, and I guess she's probably coming to you," Selgulen observed Li Yu's expression and continued nonchalantly, "I just want to inquire about her whereabouts, so that I can report to the Jin Imperial Court, if she is willing to go with you, this woman is too annoying, I don't want it for a long time." ”
"Actually, she's actually pretty good!" Li Yu's face turned even redder.
"What a fart, arrogant and unreasonable," Sergulun suddenly raised his voice and said outside the door, "It's good that she dies outside, the Jin State has Gege, without her, I just want another one from the Great Khan of the Jin State." ”
"Sergulun, you are not human, the old lady is not leaving, it will be consumed by you!" Erniu suddenly rushed into the tent, she had already seen Selgulun enter the camp, and kept Hadari staring at him, and when she heard that Selgulun was looking for Li Yu in private, she immediately ran outside the tent to eavesdrop, and then she couldn't help it anymore, and she came in and beat Selgulun.
Li Yu hurriedly went to pull the second girl, the second girl was red and hit Li Yu again, Sergulun took the opportunity to run, and shouted as he ran: "Brother, bear with me, my brother will leave first." ”
"You're not a good thing either," Erniu scolded Li Yu repeatedly.
Li Yu hugged Erniu and whispered: "The Jin army is coming, can you bear this hardship for thousands of miles?" You're gone, what should you do with Ama and Eniang? ”
When Li Yu was thinking about the Jin army, the battle of the Daling River between Ming and Jin was going on at a critical moment, to be precise, when he persuaded Zu Dashou to surrender the city, the meat was about to eat in his mouth, and he didn't dare to relax at this time. The news that the combined forces of Fengzhou and Chahar hit the Xilamulun River reached the ears of Tiancong Khan, but he couldn't take care of the Mongols' nest anymore, and the elite temptation of the more than 10,000 Guan Ning troops in the city of Dalinghe was too great, and the Ming army was eliminated, and the Ming State would never be able to turn over in Liaoxi.
The defeat of the Ming army Dalinghe was doomed from the beginning, in June of the third year of Chongzhen, the Jin army withdrew from the four cities of Yongping, and the imperial court seemed to see the hope of defeating the Jin State, with Sun Chengzong as the Liao Governor, Qiu Hejia as the governor of Liaodong, trying to resume the offensive in Liaoxi, the method was still to build forts and advance step by step, and at this time various contradictions occurred.
Sun Chengzong was born in Shujishi, and was once the emperor's teacher, known as Qingwang in the court, he was the Ji Liao Governor during the Apocalypse, and he thought he was well versed in Liao affairs, and Qiu Hejia was just a man from a high background, relying on the support of Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and rose step by step to sit in the high position of Fuchen, Sun Chengzong looked down on the nouveau riche Qiu Hejia, Qiu Hejia also despised the old man Sun who had the stain of the defeat of Liuhe, and the two sang against each other from the beginning. At the site of the fort, Qiu Hejia's brain was hot, and he whimsically planned to build the fortress to Yizhou or even Guangning, Sun Chengzong's original intention was to repair the Daling River, and found that Qiu Hejia was going forward, so he shrank back and proposed to build a fort on the right side behind the butt of the Daling River. The address of the fort was determined, and the two of them were arguing about who to send to supervise the construction of the Daling River, Sun Chengzong wanted to use his old subordinate Zu Dashou, and Qiu Hejia scoffed, who can't see your little bit of cattiness, this is a big project of millions of taels, why is it cheap for you, Qiu Hejia wants to use the Sichuan army close to him, a Guizhou person, Liang Tingdong of course supports Qiu Hejia, so the Sichuan general Deng Xi and Shi Yan's deputy general Qin Yiming happily went out of the customs - Shi Yan's consolation made Ma Xianglin suffer losses in Liaodong and was afraid, and refused to be left in Gyeonggi.
At this moment, Zu Dashou is not doing it again, his family has eight generations of town guards Ningyuan, and he is the local head snake, with him making trouble in the middle, the Sichuan army can't even recruit people. Qiu Hejia was angry and impeached Zu Dashou for causing trouble, Zu Dashou was not afraid of the governor if he had someone to support him, and immediately reported Qiu Hejia for smuggling, and Fu Shuai made a fuss. Sun Chengzong added fuel to the fire, and once again proposed to reduce the guest army to save military spending - this is a continuation of his old man's strategy of "Liao people defend Liao land, Liao land supports Liao people", but after each disarmament, he reached out to ask for more money, and Liao salary seemed to be less and less enough. The Sichuan army has suffered again this time, and has worked hard to stand stupidly in the wilderness for a small year, and the coldest winter has survived, but it is so mixed that he can't even afford to eat, the Sichuan soldiers and the stone soldiers have made a fuss, and the Guanning army and the local people have clashed constantly, and the old man Sun has more sufficient reasons, if he wants to make trouble and go home to make trouble, he will get out of me, more than 10,000 Sichuan soldiers and Shi Yan soldiers slipped back to the pass as if fleeing for their lives, it was too dark, and they didn't dare to come again next time.
Qiu Hejia didn't have good fruit to eat, Liang Tingdong fell, the Sichuan soldiers were squeezed out, he should also get out of class, and was transferred to the Shaoqing of Nanjing Taichang Temple, Zu Dashou proudly got the fat difference, but he won't be cheap Qiu Hejia, who hasn't had time to get out, went to Dalinghe and brought all his 7,000 horsemen and 7,000 infantry troops, this is all the elite of Liaoxi, and Qiu Hejia can't get touched at all. At the beginning of July of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou took his elite and recruited more than 10,000 people to Daling River, and began to start a big project that was difficult to get his hands on, but he was looking for death, and Tiancong Khan of Jin was trying to find a suitable guy to beat him up.
Tiancong Khan entered a pass, and when he came back, he couldn't wait to expand his authority, taking advantage of his prestige to increase greatly, he casually trampled Erbeile Amin under his feet, but the stubborn forces represented by Amin are still strong, and this group of old Zhushen is very vigilant about his attempt to monopolize power, and all flags are looking at the door to death, fire prevention, theft and sweating. Not to mention the Baylors, the Great Belle Daishan and the Three Belle Mang Gurtai almost wear the same pants as Amin in this regard, and even Yue Tuo, Sakhalian and others, who support the "solid foundation innovation", are very careful that the black hand of the Great Khan reaches into the two red flags, and the more supportive of Tiancong Khan is the stupid Dolgon who reads and reads, and the Hanchen who likes to be a slave. The resistance is too great, every time we discuss "changing the old customs and learning the Chinese law", the old Zhushen is immediately silent, and Dolgon will say a few more words, and when he goes home, he will be looked at angrily by Azig and Duoduo, and Hanchen, who is a drummer, may be beaten by his respective masters. In the spring of the new year, there was a spring cold in Liaodong, followed by a great drought, Tiancong Khan couldn't take care of his own family affairs, how could he have the heart to find trouble with the Daling River Army, but unfortunately the Sichuan Army could not work during this time.
Tiancong Khan was impatient, and after the drought in Liaodong eased, he proposed to imitate the Ming State to implement the six-ministry system, and the Hanchen felt that there was a day to come out, and they clapped their hands in support, and the Baylors knew in their hearts that this was the Great Khan grabbing power, and secretly resisted it. Tiancong Khan immediately used his skills to share the spoils with them, Dolgon was obedient, the most important officials are in charge of you, the two red flags are powerful, then give the military department to Yue Tuo, and the Ministry of Rites to Sakhalian, you should be satisfied with it, Mang Gurtai, don't call it, I will give the Ministry of Work to your younger brother Derge, Zilharang can kill his relatives righteously, just go to the Ministry of Punishment, the most bitter and tiring work of the household department is left to my son Haoge, Duoduo is too young, and I will give you benefits in the future, the banner owners of the Eight Banners, Baylor, have made some benefits, and they can only pinch their noses and admit it. The heads of each ministry have been chosen, and the following ministries will inherit the government, then Zhushen, Han, and Mongolia will each have one, and everyone will have official positions, so it's fair.
It's not fair, the old Zhushen are very dissatisfied, why should we give the Han and Mongolian officials, we have great seniority and great merit, and if there are officials, we have to be the first to be the officials, and we are illiterate, and we are officials with the Han people, can we mix with them? In the future, he will definitely be trampled under the feet of the Han people.
When Lao Zhushen complained, Tiancong Khan was followed by another fierce punch, which made them look like gold stars - the Great Jin Kingdom promulgated and implemented six articles of the "Regulations on Leaving the Lord": The Eight Banners Ahafan accused those who did not enter the Eight Cents Baylor of private hunting, concealing the gains made by the expedition, killing people without permission, raping the women of his subordinates, impersonating merit and mispropriation, and suppressing those who accused the lord of the six crimes, and allowed them to leave the master. This decree put in the masters of the Jin Kingdom who are not the Eight Banners and Shuobeile, Lao Zhushen is lawless, and it is common for Aha to oppress his own family, and Aha can sue them in the future, and after the complaint, he can slap his ass and leave, this day can't be lived. The old Zhushen were angry, Aha is our family, we love how we like, this is the rule left by the ancestors of Zhushen, is it in care of outsiders, the old Khan talked about it at that time, but it was never implemented seriously, the Great Khan has only been doing it for a few years, why do you turn your elbow outward?
Just when the Jin Kingdom was in an uproar and Tiancong Khan was overwhelmed, the person who came to the door to be beaten came, and it was everyone's favorite Guan Ning Army, these guys had oil and water and did not need to fight, compared to the Qin Army, the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army of the Ming Kingdom, the bones of these guest troops were too hard, and they came to the real as soon as they started their hands, and the Jin Army fought with them several times in tough battles, and if they won the battle, they had to hurt their muscles and bones, and Zu Dashou dared to send them to the door, so he would beat him. Tiancong Khan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was a battle in the Jin Kingdom, he could be dismissed, so he decisively issued a Khan edict to send troops to Dalinghe, and took advantage of the situation to turn the contradiction to the unlucky Zu Dashou.
On July 27, the fifth year of Tiancong, Tiancong Khan led an army of 20,000 to cross the Liao River, and on August 1, the Mongolian tribes that belonged to him were ordered to arrive - Horqin, Aru, Ao Han, Naiman, Bahrain, Karaqin and other departments requisitioned 20,000 young men to go on the expedition, which gave Li Yu and Chahar Khan the opportunity to fight. Tiancong Khan feasted the leaders of the Mongol tribes and the generals who went out to fight, reiterated the military discipline of strictly prohibiting indiscriminate killing and plundering, and then ordered Yuetuo, Azig, and Dege to lead part of the troops of the three banners of red, white, and blue through Yizhou to directly penetrate between the Daling River and Jinzhou, cutting off Zu Dashou's retreat, and he led the main force to attack the Daling River through Guangning and Montenegro - the war began.
Da Ling River, Zu Dashou is sinking in happiness, big project, he will be completed in less than a month, that stupid Sichuan army has done the work of cleaning up the city site in the early stage and preparing civil engineering and green bricks, just cheap him, now there are hundreds of castles of the size centered on Da Ling River and only the city pheasant has not been repaired, seeing that the great work is about to be completed, Zu Dashou also quietly breathed a sigh of relief - it is still risky to build a fort under the nose of the Jin army, but the Jin army did not go to the trouble of the Sichuan army, and it should not be difficult to get along with him, everyone is an old acquaintance, You have to save face!
The Jin army suddenly stopped and killed with a knife, breaking the silence of the Daling River, Zu Dashou reacted quickly in fright, but he didn't want to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to quickly open up the connection with Jinzhou, but hid in the fortress of the Daling River - the Guanning army did not have the habit of fighting field battles, it was a stupid thing that the guest army loved to do, Yuan Inspector had taught them that "according to the fortified city, with cannons" is the best way to make meritorious contributions, shrink their heads and work hard, there will always be a time when the Jin army can't survive - Zu Dashou inadvertently dug a big hole for the Ming Kingdom, In the end, all the mobile forces of the Ming army in western Liaoxi were filled, and the Ming army completely lost the strategic initiative against the Jin State.
The Jin army's actions were completely out of Zu Dashou's expectations, the scene of attacking the city with a chariot did not appear in the past, the Jin army desperately dug in the ground as soon as it came up, and when Zu Dashou reacted, the Daling River had been surrounded by four trenches seven or eight feet deep, and there was a one-zhang high earthen wall behind the trench, and what made Zu Dashou even more frightened was that they still had cannons, not the kind of small cannons that captured the Ming army, but the powerful Hongyi cannons.
It's over, the chieftain wants to trap me, why don't you fight the Sichuan army camped in the wild? It's to bully me, an old acquaintance, this kind of play is that Inspector Yuan will be finished if he encounters it - Zu Dashou is a little desperate, he organized several breakthroughs to no avail.
Zu Dashou is already a turtle in the urn, and now it's time to deal with the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom, so use the Daling River to slowly consume the Ming army in Liaoxi - Tiancong Khan is proud, this day has been waiting for a long time. Behind him, the Zhenghuang Banner and White Armor Zhangjing Tulai had a sad face, and he fought too easily, and when he was excited, he went to attack the city with his brothers who were not afraid of death, and he was injured a little and killed a few brothers, and he was reprimanded and punished when he came back, which was also too bad!
