Fang Yuan did not take the initiative to attack the Manchu camp outside Shanhaiguan these days, but reorganized the surrendered Guanning army in Guancheng.

At the beginning of the war, Fang Yuan did not make major adjustments to the establishment of the Guanning army for the time being, but only set up a deputy governor under Wu Sangui, which was served by Tang Tong, who took the lead in surrendering to Cheng and did not ride the wall left and right. And allocated a full number of 10,000 Guanning iron horsemen in the Guanning army and handed them over to Tang Tong's command.

Fang Yuan didn't want to investigate how much empty salary the 50,000 Guanning troops ate for the time being, but according to Fang Yuan's estimates, if 10,000 Guanning troops were allocated to ride out, the Guanning army under the command of Wu Sangui would be less than 20,000 people, and the risk would be greatly reduced.

In addition to arranging 10,000 people to guard Laolongtou Haicheng, the rest of the army was stationed in Shanhaiguan, some of which were stationed in Xiluo City and some near the South City Gate.

Fang Yuan tossed the reorganization work, but suddenly received a military report that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Zhenghong and Red flags had detoured to Jizhen to enter the customs.

Outside Jizhen, there were two major battles with Zhou Yuji's Jin army, and the Jin army suffered a small defeat, losing 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, but also killing and wounding 3,000 Manchu Tartar soldiers. The casualty ratio of the two sides reached 5:1, and if the battle continued, the remaining 50,000 Jin troops would also be wiped out.

Zhou Yuji did not dare to consume with the Manchu Eight Banners anymore, so he could only imitate the tactics of the previous Ming army, hold the Jizhen Pass, and no longer go out of the city to fight.

The Tartar soldiers with red and red flags did not attack Jizhen, but successfully captured Zunhua and Yongping in accordance with the established policy. And in accordance with Dorgon's instructions, the people of the two cities were slaughtered as revenge for the other party's original massacre of Liaodong, and at least 50,000 people were slaughtered, and the bones were piled up outside the city.

The flames of war finally spread from outside the customs to the inside of the customs, and for a time, the Gyeonggi area was full of rumors, people were panicked, and children cried day and night.

Fang Yuan saw that the Manchu Tartars had slaughtered the two cities of Zunhua and Yongping, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the general slapped the military case heavily, and said coldly, "Third child, how to solve the invasion of the Zhenghong and Red flags?!" ”

Jing Jie was also completely enraged, and said in a deep voice, "Boss, Dolgon only ordered one or two thousand Tartar soldiers to enter the customs, and he really looks up to us!" In my opinion, Dolgon's move was to kill people with a knife, and he deliberately sent 10,000 or 20,000 people to die. ”

His words were right in Fang Yuan's estimation, and Fang Yuan could still guess one or two of Dolgon's thoughts. Zhengbaiqi's fiasco at Shanhaiguan was too dazzling, and Dolgon, as the Manchu emperor, could not withstand this huge pressure.

Dolgon's entry into the customs with two flags of red and red is to divert the attention of public opinion.

If the soldiers and horses of the Second Banner enter the customs and win, they will just offset the merits and demerits, and eliminate the responsibility for the defeat of the Zhengbai Banner in Shanhaiguan. If the soldiers and horses of the two flags are defeated, it will not only be the white flag that will be defeated, but the two flags of Zhenghong and red will also share the responsibility for the defeat of Shanhaiguan. Even after the war, he could take the opportunity to annex the people and land of the two flags of Zhenghong and Red, and expand the power of Dorgon's lineage.

Fang Yuan understood Dolgon's thoughts and muttered, "Third child, the Manchu Tartars are wreaking havoc in Gyeonggi and are full of atrocities, and it is a good opportunity to buy people's hearts. The blood debt must be paid in blood, and we should immediately send troops to exterminate it, and not a single Tartar soldier who enters the pass can be released from the pass! ”

Wu Sangui was slightly stunned when he heard this, Dolgon's army was still stationed outside Shanhaiguan, and it could attack Shanhaiguan at any time. At this critical juncture, Fang Yuan wanted his troops to go south to Zunhua and Yongping, if Shanhaiguan was lost, what would it be?

According to the tradition that the Guanning Army has practiced since Yuan Chonghuan, the so-called Jiliao Governor and the Guanning Army only need to keep the safety of the Ningjin defense line and Shanhaiguan to complete the task. As for whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty sneaked from Jizhen, whether they were harassing Gyeonggi, how many Gyeonggi people they killed, and even whether they would break through Beijing City and end the Ming royal family, it was not within the scope of the Guanning Army's duties.

Guan Ningjun was loyal to the rescue of Beijing, and it was natural and not to go to the rescue, and there was no fault. The imperial court dared to provoke the Guan Ning army, so it learned from Zu Dashou to lead the troops to turn around and leave.

Wu Sangui hurriedly reminded, "Regent, our henchmen are in Dolgon outside the gate, not in the red and red flags!" ”

Fang Yuan looked at him with a smile, knowing that the old mistake of the warlord of Guan Ning had been committed again, he smiled coldly and said, "What do you mean by Wu Dudu?" ”

In Wu Sangui's view, it was the best choice for Guanning Tieqi to hide in Shanhaiguan and not to fight in Zunhua, Yongping and Manchu Tatars. What can the people of the capital save, it is just a waste of troops. Yuan Chonghuan went to the rescue, but was eaten by the people of the capital, it is better to preserve his strength and continue to wait and see, "There are still tens of thousands of defenders in the capital, and the Tartar soldiers cannot be attacked." Our main force should stay at Shanhaiguan and deal with Dolgon. ”

Fang Yuan sighed lightly and said, "I understand, what Wu Dudu means is that when the Zhenghong and Red Banners are snatched and killed, they will withdraw from the customs by themselves, right?" ”

Wu Sangui nodded and said, "Yes, the previous few times the Tartar soldiers invaded, they also robbed and left." Regent, you should focus on the overall situation, if Shanhaiguan is lost, the capital will be completely finished! ”

Fang Yuan was almost about to have a seizure when he heard this, and scolded sharply.

I really didn't misunderstand the warlord nature of the Guan Ning Army before, according to the urine nature that the Guan Ning Army is showing now, in the face of the Tatar soldiers in Gyeonggi, they don't dare to play on their home field. Fang Yuan was completely disappointed with the Guan Ning army, this kind of army whose warlord habits had been deeply rooted in the bone marrow had absolutely no need to continue to retain! However, at this critical juncture, we can't make extraneous branches to stimulate Wu Sangui and Guan Ningjun. In case Wu Sangui couldn't think about it and went to vote for Dolgon, it would be even more tricky. If you want to clean up Wu Sangui, you have to wait for the Manchu Tartars to withdraw before you can deal with him.

Fang Yuan forcibly suppressed his anger and explained lightly, "Wu Dudu, although I have only met with Dolgon once, I still have a slight understanding of this person's mind. In order to seize the throne, he can let me cross the border in the battle of Liaodong, and he can also sacrifice the red and red flags in order to keep the throne. ”

"Dolgon, stay outside the Shanhaiguan and don't enter the customs together, you just want to make peace with me!"

The war is in full swing, and Dorgon will come to peace talks? Wu Sangui was a little unconvinced, and was about to say more, but Fang Yuan interrupted the words behind him, "Chigutai, you lead 20,000 Xuanjia iron horses; Wu Dudu, you lead 10,000 Guanning iron cavalry; Commander Liu, you led all the twenty-five tanks of the tank battalion to solve the two flags of Zhenghong and Red that entered the customs. ”

"Third child, you send someone to contact Zhou Yuji, I don't need him to come to Zunhua and Yongping to participate in the war, as long as he guards the Great Wall pass of Jizhen, don't let a Manchu Tartar out of the customs."

Fang Yuan dispatched an elite 20,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry, as well as a tank battalion to Zunhua and Yongping, while the Guanning iron cavalry only dispatched 10,000, which was personally led by Wu Sangui.

He didn't expect the Guan Ning army to play any role on the battlefield, and with Guan Ning's iron cavalry bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, he only dared to bully and bully Li Zicheng. In the face of the Manchu Eight Banners, they were all scared!

Fang Yuan ordered Wu Sangui to lead the troops forward, but he was just transferring the tiger away from the mountain and officially taking over Shanhaiguan, so as not to prevent Wu Sangui from staying in Shanhaiguan and regenerating variables.

Fang Yuan had already issued a military order, and it was the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry who took the lead to exterminate the Tartar soldiers, Wu Sangui didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he could only give up his orders.

Fang Yuan got up and stared at the generals, and said in a deep voice, "The previous Gyeonggi was a papier-mâché defense line, and the Tartar soldiers could come and leave whenever they wanted, just like visiting their own back garden. This is not only the national shame of the Ming Dynasty, but also the shame of the Ming soldiers! Since then, the days when the Tartar soldiers entered the customs at will and invaded at will are gone forever! As long as the Tartar soldiers dare to enter the customs to kill my people, none of them will want to get out of the customs alive! ”

As soon as Fang Yuan's words came out, he gave the most severe military order to Chigutai and Liu Yiliang: This time to attack Zunhua and Yongping, there is no need to take prisoners, not a single Tartar soldier will be left, and all of them will be killed!

Wu Sangui had already been frightened by the Tartar soldiers, and he was silent when he heard it. Chigutai and Liu Yiliang were extremely excited, and shouted, "Obey!" All the Tartar soldiers were killed, and not a single one was left! ”
