At noon on this day, Jinzhou City, the General Military Mansion. Tomato △ □ Net ○--'.x'

Huang Taiji set up a banquet in the banquet hall to entertain Zu Dashou and other senior generals of the Ming army who surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, and many high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty accompanied them, enjoying the Jurchen dance while drinking, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

Li Hongyu guessed correctly, after Songshan was captured, Zu Dashou really couldn't hold on, so he threw himself into the Qing army in early March.

Although Zu Dashou betrayed Huang Taiji once, Huang Taiji took great care of him, not only did not ask for guilt, but also treated him as a guest.

Compared with the festive atmosphere around him, Zu Dashou, who was arranged at the lower right of Huang Taiji, was not in a high mood, silently drinking there with stuffy wine, he did not expect that he would surrender to Huang Taiji for the second time, and at this time his heart was mixed.

He really couldn't imagine how Hong Chengchou's 200,000 army could be defeated if it was defeated, could it be that the Ming army had practiced in vain over the years?

Huang Tai sat on the main seat at the head of the hall, chatting and laughing with everyone present, the progress of the battle outside the gate exceeded his expectations, now Songshan and Jinzhou have been broken, as long as Xingshan and Tashan are taken again, then Ningyuan will become a lonely city outside the pass, not to be afraid.

It's a pity that there is one less person in this joyful scene, and what Huang Taiji wants to recover most now is the captured Ming Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou, if Hong Chengchou surrenders, it will not only be a heavy blow to the Ming army, but also will make the Manchus understand more about the inside of the Ming Dynasty, so as to make plans to deal with it in the future.

Hong Chengchou did not die, he was captured after the destruction of Songshan City, although he did not surrender but Huang Taiji did not embarrass him, ordered a good life to serve, and constantly sent people to persuade him to surrender, but Hong Chengchou was indifferent.

Unlike Nurhachi, Huang Taiji knew very well that the population of the Jurchens could not be compared with that of the Ming Dynasty, so he tried his best to win over the soldiers of the Ming army and wanted to use them for their use.

Speaking of which, Hong Chengchou was holding his stomach with anger in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that there was a traitor in Songshan City, how could the Qing army attack Songshan City with 40,000 troops so quickly?

It turned out that Xia Chengde, the deputy general of Songshan, saw that the Qing army was menacing this time, so he secretly prayed to the Qing army to surrender and put the Qing army from Nancheng, which led to the fall of Songshan City, and Hong Chengchou could not escape and was captured.

In fact, along with Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, was also captured, but Qiu Minyang would rather die than surrender and commit suicide.

Xia Chengde, who has made meritorious contributions to the city, naturally attended the celebration banquet now, sitting at the wine table next to Zu Dashou, staggering with everyone, talking and laughing, and the interest was very high.

In order to show his loyalty to the Manchus, Xia Chengde took the lead in shaving his hair and braids, putting on Jurchen clothes, changing into Jurchen hairstyles, and being willing to become a pawn of the Manchus.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military report ahead." While everyone was drinking and having fun, a soldier hurried in, knelt in front of the hall and presented a battle report to Huang Taiji with both hands.

"Bring it." Huang Taiji smiled slightly when he heard this, and ordered the subordinates on the side in a deep voice, it seems that Xingshan has been captured, otherwise there will definitely be no urgent news.

An attendant hurriedly walked over to get the battle report, and bowed down with both hands in front of Huang Taiji, seeing this situation, the scene suddenly became quiet, and people looked at Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji opened the battle report with a smile, and then he was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, as if he couldn't believe it, so that everyone present couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what was going on.

With a snap, Huang Taiji slapped the battle report in his hand on the table, his face was full of anger, and he looked quite angry.

The people present immediately realized that this battle report had brought bad news, and it was very bad enough to make Huang Taiji angry.

"The front came to report, the Ming Emperor sent all 30,000 forbidden troops, and took advantage of the night to sneak attack the beacon post, and the defenders of the beacon post suffered heavy casualties and retreated, so that it successfully met the Ming army in Tashan, and I am afraid that it will go north to rescue Xingshan in the near future."

Huang Taiji quickly realized that he was a little out of shape, stabilized his mind and said expressionlessly, "Everyone, it seems that there will be a big battle in Xingshan. ”

"Your Majesty, it's only 30,000 troops, let's let them come and go this time, see what else the Ming Emperor has to rely on!" Hearing this, a Qing army general clenched his fists and said with disdain.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to ask for war and annihilate the forbidden army of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."

"The courtiers are willing to go to war and destroy them."

"Your Majesty, hand them over to the ministers!"

……

Subsequently, many Qing army generals got up to fight, and for a time the crowd was excited, eager to devour the 30,000 forbidden troops alive.

The current Manchu Qing is not the former Later Jin, Huang Taiji not only pacified the Mongol tribes on the steppe, pocketed all the Mongol left flank outside the Great Wall, and expanded the territory, but also built the Yalu River defense line like North Korea, so that the Korean army could not threaten the Manchu rear.

Therefore, the Manchu Qing Dynasty now had the strength to eliminate the 30,000 forbidden army, and with the defeat of the Ming army in the Songjin War, the Qing generals despised the combat power of the Ming army.

"Prince Li, what do you think?"

Huang Taiji stretched out his hand, stopped the Qing generals who were asking for battle, and frowned and looked at Dai Shan, who was sitting at the head of him, and now Dai Shan has been named Prince Li.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be considered in the long run."

Dai Shan groaned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Huang Taiji with a serious expression and said, "Does the emperor feel that this counterattack of the Ming army is a bit familiar?" ”

Houjin's four major Baylors are now only left with Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, Amin and Mang Gurtai are dead, although Dai Shan is now the Prince of Li, but he has been suppressed by Huang Taiji in military and political affairs, after all, Huang Taiji wants to centralize power, so he is now in a state of idleness at home, and he is also free to tease Sun Cheng.

This time, Huang Taiji went south and deliberately brought Dai Shan, in addition to letting Dai Shan provide military advice, but also to prevent him from leaving Dai Shan's small actions in the rear, in the final analysis, Dai Shan is the big Baylor of the Hou Jin name, and the heir of the King of Jin Khan back then, Huang Taiji had to guard against it.

"Attacking it unprepared, unexpected, swift as the wind, attacking like thunder, he is the only one in the world who can use troops like this, and besides, how many people besides him can command the forbidden army of the Ming Dynasty?"

Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, it seemed that Dai Shan guessed his intentions, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

Zu Dashou was frowning, but when he suddenly heard Huang Taiji's emotion, he was stunned, his face showed an excited look, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly.

But then, Zu Dashou's face darkened, his fist slowly loosened, and his expression looked extremely lonely and sad.

The rest of the people at the scene couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, and they didn't understand the meaning of Huang Taiji and Dai Shan's words for a while, but it seemed that the two of them had encountered something tricky.

"Your Majesty, isn't there just 30,000 forbidden troops, and the minister is willing to lead the army to exterminate them."

Seeing this, a young Qing army general sitting next to Dai Shan couldn't help but proudly say that he was Huang Taiji's half-brother Dolgon, Prince Rui of the six major princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Dolgon is now not yet in the age of standing, although he is young but has already made a lot of achievements, this time the Songjin battle is a great feat, very much by the emperor Taiji.

"Prince Rui, 30,000 forbidden troops are not to be feared, even if they are brave, they will eventually be wiped out, what I am worried about is the person who commands the army this time, this person is the henchman of our Qing Dynasty."

Huang Taiji knew that Dolgon was in high spirits now, and had never been defeated since he led the army, so he looked quite arrogant, and he glanced at Dolgon and said quietly.

"Your Majesty, who is it? The ministers will capture this man and present it to the emperor. Dolgon was slightly stunned when he heard this, he had never seen Huang Taiji so jealous of a person, so he said proudly.

"This person is the Taifu of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongyu, a scholar of Zuochunfang University, the person I and Emperor Taizu want to get rid of the most!" Huang Taiji's face sank, stared at Dolgon and asked, "Prince Rui, are you confident that you can capture him?" ”

"This ......"

Dolgon was stunned when he heard this, and he was speechless for a while, although he was arrogant, he didn't reach the point of arrogance, even Nurhachi and Huang Taiji failed to defeat Li Hongyu but suffered a big loss, so how could he hope to defeat Li Hongyu?

"Li Hongyu is here outside the gate?" The Qing army generals at the scene suddenly had a commotion, and they all showed fearful looks, many of them had experienced the Battle of Tieling and the Battle of Shimen Mountain, and naturally knew how powerful Li Hongyu was.

The generals of the Ming army who surrendered looked panicked and looked panicked, but they knew Li Hongyu's power better than the generals of the Qing army, Li Hongyu twice turned the tide outside the pass, if the Qing army was defeated again this time, then their situation would be embarrassing.

"Pass the order, and set off for Xingshan tomorrow, I will fight to the death with the Ming army in Xingshan."

Seeing that Dolgon was silent, Huang Taiji frowned, then stood up and announced loudly, this may be his last duel with Li Hongyu, no matter what, he must seize this opportunity.

"Your Ministers obey!"

The Qing army generals at the scene got up one after another when they heard this, bowed down and said in a deep voice, the atmosphere of the scene was cold, and everyone's faces were extremely serious, after all, the opponent they were facing now was not an ordinary Ming army general, but Li Hongyu, who could be called the nightmare of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so no one dared to slack off.

Huang Taiji then walked away, his expression was a little gloomy, now that such a thing has happened, where is he still in the mood to drink and have fun, now he has to go back to recuperate and concentrate all his energy on dealing with Li Hongyu.

The people at the scene immediately dispersed, and left the banquet hall in groups, talking to each other about Li Hongyu leading the army out of the customs and fighting, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air, as the opponent who fought twice and won twice, the generals of the Qing army were afraid of Li Hongyu from the bottom of their hearts.

The generals of the Ming army who surrendered were even more in a heavy mood, and they felt panicked for a while, and Li Hongyu's arrival weighed on their hearts like a heavy mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Everyone knows that Li Hongyu is very good at dealing with the Qing army, and he is the out-and-out nemesis of the Qing army.

Now, the Ming army suffered a big loss outside the pass, and if the aggressive Manchu Emperor Chongzhen transferred Li Hongyu to Liaodong to sit in the town, then the Manchus would not have a good life in the future, and they didn't know where to go in the future.
