Chapter 231: Liu Xuanchu's plan
After arduous archaeological work, at the cost of nearly 100 Korean slaves, Zheng Xi finally completed the archaeological research on the tomb of the old slave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old slave's coffin was pried open, and after the outer coffin was opened, it was found that it was filled with charcoal, and then the inner coffin was opened, and the old slave's body was still relatively intact.
"Hahaha!" Zheng Xi looked up to the sky and laughed, "Old slave, old slave! When you were alive, you didn't expect that your body would fall into the hands of Lao Tzu! Back then, you rebelled and killed countless Han people in Liaodong, and today is retribution! ”
"Dashuai, did we crush the old slave to ashes?" Cao Conglong asked.
Zheng Xi was about to order the corpse of the old slave to be crushed and scattered, but he suddenly thought about it, so he changed his words: "Let's wrap the corpse of the old slave and send it to Nanjing!" ”
"Sent to Nanjing? What is the use of a dead body? Cao Conglong asked.
Huang Zhao on the side laughed: "This is the corpse of an old slave!" It's a great credit! Hahaha! If you send it to Nanjing, you can ask your niece and son-in-law for a reward! ”
After completing the archaeological excavation of Fuling, Zheng Xi led a large group of men and horses into the Zhaoling Tomb, where Huang Taiji was buried. At the same time that the Ming army was digging Fuling, Chen Zhan, who had worked in Jinyiwei, had already rushed to Zhaoling and interrogated the captured old bannerman there. Like Fuling, there are always people who are afraid of death, and they can't bear it. So Chen Zhan had a picture of the Zhaoling underground palace in his hand.
After the Ming army entered Zhaoling, after five days of archaeological excavation, Huang Taiji's tomb was also opened, and the body of Huang Taiji, which was still relatively intact, was excavated. Because he was buried in the ground for many years and dried with charcoal in the coffin, the originally very obese Huang Taiji shrank a lot.
"This Huang Taiji is the real culprit who the Tartars were able to enter the customs!" Zheng Xi pointed to Huang Taiji's corpse and said angrily, "If it weren't for Huang Taiji, the Tartars would always be barbarians outside the Guan, how could they steal the Central Plains!" Now that this thief has fallen into our hands, he has also been sent to Nanjing to be handed over to the nephew of this domain to deal with! ”
"On such a cold day, the port is frozen, unless you can fight all the way to Golden State, and go to sea from Golden State; Or it is to invade the territory of North Korea and go to sea from North Korea. However, we currently do not have enough troops at hand, and the first thing to do is to hold Shenyang, where is the strength to fight Jinzhou and North Korea? Huang Zhao asked.
Zheng Xi thought for a moment and replied: "The weather is cold, and our transportation is inconvenient, but the bodies of the old slave and Huang Taiji are not easy to decompose, so they sealed their coffins and pulled them to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River by sled, and waited until the ice and snow melted, and then loaded them on the ship and sent them to Nanjing to be handed over to the niece and son-in-law of this domain!" ”
When the bodies of the old slave and Huang Taiji were sent to Nanjing, they were whipped by the Ming army and burned to ashes, it was a few months later.
Later, when Wang Yu was dealing with the ashes, he originally wanted to frustrate the bones and raise the ashes, but he remembered a book he had read in his previous life, and originally wanted to imitate an unscrupulous guy and burn the ashes into the toilet, but he didn't do that, but kept the ashes for the time being, and after entering the capital, he burned the ashes of the old slave and Huang Taiji into the ceramics, made two kneeling statues, and knelt in front of the tombstone of Ming Siling.
After Zheng Xi occupied Shenyang, he began to prepare to defend the city. The Qing army did not get any news until the weather warmed up slightly, and the Qing army, which was transporting grain from Jinzhou, arrived in Shenyang and saw the flag at the head of the city, so they ran back to report the news.
The Ming cavalry in the city chased them out, killed and captured a group of Qing soldiers who could not escape, but they were still run away and fled back to report the news.
The Qing court got the news that Wu Sangui was still besieging Baoding City at this time.
Tu Hai stood at the head of Baoding City, watching uneasily at the gradually strengthened and heightened earthen city outside the city, and the gradually widening and deepening trenches. Although his plan was to hold back the Ming army, as long as he waited for the new army of the Beijing division to train a new batch of troops, he would be able to deal with Wu Sangui, but God knows if the new army of the Beijing division could be trained? If Wu Sangui is hard-hearted to besiege and besiege for a year, no matter how much food there is in the city, he will not be able to hold it up, and there will always be a day when he will finish eating.
"Marshal, are we going to send troops to break through?" Le Erjin asked.
Tu Hai shook his head: "No! The thieves have just begun to besiege the city! There will be enough food in the city for at least a year! ”
In the Wu army camp, Wu Sangui was making a nervous move. After the recently recruited Minzhuang completed the construction of the earthen city and the moat, these Minzhuang changed into military uniforms and will be used by Wu Sangui to arrange suspicious soldiers.
Several Minzhuang took the armor provided to them by Wu Jun, which was made of thick paper and painted with black paint on the outside, which looked like iron armor. Wearing it on the outside of the cotton clothes, the people who were originally a rabble immediately became majestic, and they really looked like regular soldiers.
The muskets were also fired, but they were all wooden guns, and the barrels were wooden sticks with black paint, which from a distance looked like real muskets. As for the spear of the hand-to-hand combatant, it is true, anyway, the cost of the spear is low, and a wooden pole with the head of the spear is a spear. There is also a sword and shield bearer, with a wooden plaque in his hand and a machete hanging from his waist. The real knife was not enough, so Wu Sangui took out a batch of rusty, curly bladed broken knives from the scrapped weapons and sent them to Minzhuang. There are also some people's strong scabbards, which are simply wooden knives inside.
"Handsome! You must not go to the capital for an adventure! "Hearing that Wu Sangui was going to personally lead the soldiers posing as Minzhuang to go to Beijing, all the generals and civil officials knelt down to dissuade them.
"Dashuai!" Liu Xuanchu dissuaded, "These people are wearing paper-paste armor, they look majestic, and the weapons in their hands are also rudimentary, they can only scare the Qinggou, if the Qinggou is not frightened, they really go out of the city to face the battle, and the people are vulnerable!" Dashuai, you must not take risks in person, or personally lead the ambush soldiers to wait for the Baoding Tartars to go out of the city! ”
According to this strategy, the Wu army asked Minzhuang to disguise himself as a soldier, put on paper-paste armor, bring a rudimentary weapon or simply a fake weapon, and surround the past from outside Baoding, and go straight to the capital.
In order to make the fake drama more realistic, of course, the Minzhuang army is also mixed with real soldiers, and there are also siege artillery, making it look like bypassing Baoding and going straight to Beijing. As for the construction of an earthen city outside Baoding City, it was also a plan to confuse the Qing army. After the Tucheng was built, the Wu army attacked the capital with suspicious troops, but only a few troops were left to defend in the Tucheng.
Once the capital was attacked by the Wu army, the Qing court would inevitably send people to Baoding for help. When the holy decree from above came down, Bahai didn't dare to resist the decree no matter what he said, and he would inevitably send troops out of the city to test it.
As long as the Qing army is tempted, it can be found that there are very few Wu troops guarding outside the city! The barracks are full of scarecrows! There are also ways to hang sheep and beat drums! When Bahai found out that he had been deceived, he would naturally send troops to break through and rescue the Jingshi.
