Chapter 699: Please Stop the Expedition
Shang Kexi, Mao Kejin, Ban Zhifu and others led the cavalry of the Ming Army of Changzhou, the general army of the front road of Dongjiang Town, to attack it by surprise and break through the Yongdian Fort to build the defense of the river, and then bypassed Kuandianbao all the way north, and blew down a section of the city wall of Hetuara in the early morning of the next day, pouring into the city, except for the "city lord" Fei Yangguo was not killed, the rest of the idle branch clans who lived in the city were all killed.
This incident is of course a good thing for Shang Kexi, Mao Kejin and others, and its merits are comparable to Mao Wenlong's legendary exploits in harassing and fighting behind enemy lines.
But for the blue flag armor La'e Zhen Hun Pagoda, the Zhenghong flag Jia La'e Zhen Shuo Erhui, and the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Babutai who was one step later than them, Hetu Ala Mountain City was burned by the Ming army who came by surprise, and the remaining clans in the city were killed, which is a great sin and responsibility!
Shang Kexi, Mao Kejin and others, after cutting off the bloody scalp of the money rat tail on the head of the prisoner in the city, set fire to everything in the city, each of them only brought what they could carry, and took nothing, leaving behind the bodies of their comrades who had died in battle, and rushed all the way to the north of Hetuala.
What they left behind for Babutai and the others, in addition to the scorched ruins of the scorched earth that had been ignited by the fierce fire oil, was the fear of the fall of the city of Hetuara and the murder of the old and weak of the settled clans.
If Fei Yangguo or Wu Dahai escaped alive, then naturally someone would be guilty.
But now that Wu Dahai is dead, and Fei Yangguo's whereabouts are unknown, this is not easy.
Babutai took Hunta and Shuoerhui, the two heroes and sons of the wild boar skin family, to stand in front of the great yamen of the palace of Hetuara Khan, which was burned to the ground, and discussed for a long time, and finally decided on a few.
On the one hand, Shuo Erhui and Hunta continued to lead the army to pursue the Ming army of Shang Kexi's department that was flowing north, and then joined the Zhenghongqi garrison of Dong Echeng to encircle and suppress this Ming cavalry.
On the other hand, Babutai led the ten oxen of the Zhenghuang Banner to Hetuara to clean up the mess and defend the wild boar skin family cemetery dozens of miles south of Hetuala, so as to prevent another Ming army attack in another Longxing land.
In the end, Babutai sent Meler Zhenwunag, who had followed his army, back to Shenyang City, and pleaded guilty to the Great Bel Deshan who had stayed in Shenyang on his behalf, and reported the truth about Hetuala.
At the same time, Babutai also suggested that Dabeile Daishan quickly send people to the Monan region, to Kuku and Tun, and even to the border of the Ming Kingdom to find the Great Khan Huang Taiji and report what was happening in the hinterland of Liaodong.
In the evening of the same day, Wunag rushed back to Shenyang and reported to Dai Shan, who already had an ominous premonition, what had happened in Hetuala.
The destruction of the storage house of the government office is not a big deal, and it can be rebuilt if it is destroyed.
However, the killing of a large number of idle clans of the wild boar skin family branch and the old and weak women and children who stayed behind in Hetuara made Daishan extremely angry.
When Nuer Hachi moved the capital to Liaoyang City, he left his younger brother Aixinjue Luo Baryaqi (also known as Bayala) to guard the ancestral industry.
At the same time, those who remained in the old city of Hetuara were the descendants of Murhaqi, another younger brother of the old slave Nur Hachi.
For example, Wu Dahai is one of the sons of Murhaqi who holds a relatively high position.
And Bai Yintu, Gong Adai and others, who are deeply trusted by Huang Taiji, are two of the sons of Baryaqi who stand out.
These are the immediate family members of the old slave Nuer Hachi, that is, the descendants of the Takshi clan of the Jianzhou Jurchen wild boar skin family, and later known as a group of people with yellow belts.
In addition to this, there were the children and grandchildren of the brothers of the Taks, the uncles of Nur Hachi, who came to be known as the Red Belt.
These generations lived in Hetuala, and after Nuerhachi made his fortune, he moved the capital to Liaoyang, bringing with him a part, and moving the capital to Shenyang and bringing a part.
However, all those who were taken away were the children of those who held various positions in the Jurchen Eight Banners, such as Bai Yintu, Gong Adai, and so on, who had outstanding abilities.
In addition, there are still a large number of unproductive clan disciples who do not hold positions in the Jurchen Eight Banners, and only live in Hetuara with a share of the money and food that Huang Taiji rewarded the clan children with.
At this time, these people who stayed in the old city of Hetuara were naturally served by the Ming army of Dongjiang Town brought by Shang Kexi, and they were unjust souls who died in vain.
After the news of Hetuala's accident spread, Dai Shan and other Eight Banner magnates who stayed in Shenyang City, as well as the meritorious ministers of the Dajin Kingdom, were all mourned.
In Daishan's mansion and in the other Baylor ministers' mansions, everyone was mourning and mourning, and there was an atmosphere of sadness.
After such a thing happened, Huang Taiji's eldest concubine Borzigit Zhezhe naturally couldn't sit in the palace, and after the news that the old city of Hetuara was burned down was confirmed again the next day, he sent someone to summon Dai Shan and other ministers who stayed behind to discuss how to deal with it.
On the morning of the fifth day of the first month of November, in the midst of the unexpected heavy snowfall, Dai Shan led the Dajin clan and ministers who stayed in Shenyang to kneel on the snow of the royal road leading to the Huangtaiji harem behind the Dugong Palace, and reported to Zhezhe, who was sitting in the arched porch at the entrance of the harem, before and after, in 1510, all the enemy situations in southern Liaoning, Korea and Hetuala.
The capture of Fuzhou City by the Denglaiming army that raided from the sea, and the death of Belle Duoduo, the owner of the white flag, was already a very serious matter for the Jin Kingdom after the capture of the country, but in order to stabilize people's hearts, Dai Shan did not spread in Shenyang City on the grounds that the situation on the front line was unclear and the news of Duoduo's death still needed to be confirmed.
As for the news of the bombardment of Zhenjiang Fort by the Ming army in Dongjiang Town and the landing in the rear from the mouth of the Douman River, after Dai Shan discussed with Huang Taiji's confidants Leng Geri, Xifu, Ganglin and others who stayed in Shenyang, it was also out of the need to stabilize people's hearts and minds and stabilize the rear, and it was not made public in Shenyang City.
But this time, the city of Hetuara was burned, and hundreds of men, women, and children of the idle clans living in the city were killed, and the news came that they were almost slaughtered.
Dai Shan led everyone to kneel under the stone steps in front of the gate of Qingning Palace in the snow, made a guilty appearance, and said to Zhezhe who was sitting in the porch:
"The bad news of Hetuara is coming, and the ministers are in pain! The old city of Hetuara is the place where the first Khan of my Dajin Kingdom prospered, and it is also the place where the children of my clan Jueluo live in peace! This time the encounter was so poisonous, the old city was burned, the clan was killed, and the ministers knew that they were worthy of the first Khan, worthy of the ancestors and ancestors, and worthy of the great khan's trust before leaving, and the ministers were deeply guilty!
"However, this is a very bad time! Outside the Daling River on the western front, the Ming army in Liaodong Town was heavily assembled and ready to attack, and the Fuzhou City on the southern front was occupied by the Ming army in Denglai Town, and the news of Duoduo's death has been confirmed, and Dolgon's re-attack was not taken, and the army of Dongjiang Town on the eastern front attacked everywhere, waiting for an opportunity to attack, and the ministers did not think that the situation in our Dajin Kingdom would take such a sharp turn! Although the ministers are guilty, they dare to ask Dai to stay in office to deal with this situation that has not been seen for decades! ”
Dai Shan finished saying these words with a sad expression, and kowtowed in the snow, waiting for the answer of Huang Taiji's eldest concubine Zhezhe.
Zhezhe sat in the porch and listened to Dai Shan's words, looked at his niece Bu Mu Butai who was standing beside him, saw Bu Mu Butai nodded, and immediately said to Dai Shan and the others under the stone steps:
"It's come to this, and it's useless to say more! When the Great Khan was leaving, he handed over the heavy task of staying in Shenyang to Da Beile, and at this time, it was natural to deal with it mainly with Da Beile!
"As for the guilt that the Great Belle said, everything will be dealt with by the Great Khan himself after the triumph of the Great Khan's army, whose guilt should be meted out, and the Great Belle will be able to report to the Great Khan after the Great Khan returns in the future! Let's talk about it today, at this time, what can the great Baylor and his ministers do? ”
Hearing this, Dai Shan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately said: "The ministers and others have discussed together, and now the top priority is to send someone to Monan as soon as possible to report the situation in Liaodong to the Great Khan in detail!"
"The Great Khan led the army on an expedition, which has lasted more than two months, at this time Liaodong Town, Denglai Town and Dongjiang Town Three Towns Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are attacking on three sides, and my golden hinterland is empty, although it has the name of the Four Banners, but the strength is not as good as half of the Great Khan taking away the army!
"If the water division of Liaodong Town is also like Denglai and Dongjiang, and goes north along the mouth of the Liaohe River, and the Great Khan has not returned from the expedition, my Dajin Kingdom will suddenly be in danger! At this time, it is better to call off the expedition and consolidate the fundamental land of Liao Shen first! ”
Zhezhe and Bumu Butai glanced at each other again, and then said: "Just do it according to the will of the Great Belle, quickly send the appropriate people, and rush to Monan to find the Great Khan, please stop the expedition, and consolidate the root first!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhezhe suddenly said: "Who is the Ming army that broke Hetuala?" Why do today's soldiers of the Ming Kingdom have such ability? The Great Khan's expedition, we stayed in Shenyang, is Shenyang City as safe as Hetuala, but in fact it is dangerous?! ”
This time, Dai Shan didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Ministers, please rest assured in the palace, the Ming army that attacked Hetuala is still flying north, and Shenyang City is as stable as a mountain!"
"In addition, according to the news obtained by Shuo Erhui, Hunta and others who tortured the Ming soldiers who had fallen behind, this Ming army was the department of Shang Kexi, the deputy general of the striker under Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town! The ministers swear here today that they will not kill Shang Kexi and others, and they will not kill this Ming army, and the ministers will stand between heaven and earth without a face! ”
After meeting Huang Taiji's eldest concubine Zhezhe in the palace, after discussing with the ministers of the House of Representatives who stayed in Shenyang, the next morning, he asked the young and strong Ganglin, with the letters of Dai Shan and others, to go out of Shenyang City and gallop all the way to the northwest under the escort of the three Niu Luzheng Red Banner armored cavalry led by Wu Nag.
