Chapter 338: Cut off from inside and outside, day and night
"But there are some ugly things to say ahead, if you do your best for our Shandong army, the marshal will naturally not treat you badly, at the very least, it is very simple to find a place for you to enjoy Qingfu in peace and stability."
Speaking of this, Gu Junen's face changed suddenly, and he said threateningly:
"But if you want to leave this courtyard ten paces away, you will immediately die violently for no apparent reason!"
At this time, Lu Jiu had already sat on the side, and when he heard these words, he nodded dizzily, and only after a while did he make up his mind to speak:
"Big... The meaning of the big handsome, the little ones all understand, and then do their best to do it! ”
Gu Junen nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said with a smile:
"The people who come out of this palace are different, and if you know the general situation, our handsome will definitely be happy."
Walking to the door of the house, Gu Junen suddenly turned around and said:
"There is one more thing, I bothered Father-in-law Lu to immediately make some excerpts, saying that we have nothing to do in Shandong, and everything is done according to the emperor's wishes, so that the old man can relax."
In fact, from the time Gu Junen came in to the time he walked out with the excerpt, it didn't take long in total, except for watching the other party tremble and write the excerpt, most of the time he was talking by himself, and Lu Jiu blindly nodded in agreement.
Whether the Shandong army is generous or has other plans, these Lu Jiu is not clear, he can only determine these two roads, one is a dead end, the other is not only the same position, the face is bright, but also has money in the account, everyone knows how to choose.
It has been a few months since Wang Zheng rushed back from Kaifeng City, in fact, when Kaifeng retreated, Kaifeng had not finished dealing with it, and now Shandong is also a bunch of things to deal with, and both sides can't pull their hands.
Gu Junen lived up to his high expectations that time, Lu Jiu was exceptionally honest, and he couldn't even delay the time, so he wrote out the excerpt on the spot, and now the Shandong Army has sent someone to Beizhili, but it will take a while for the approval to come down.
Shandong's imperial court civil and military found that Lu Jiu had changed a little bit before and after, and at first he had to ask questions everywhere, like a curious baby, but now he didn't say a word about everything that was irrelevant, and he may have been coerced by Wang Zheng.
But what they didn't know was that Lu Jiu was coerced now, and he didn't do anything other than to fold the money according to the Shandong side, and he was happily counting the thousand taels of silver in the house at the moment.
For those Shandong soldiers outside Qi Tianliang, Lu Jiu has nothing to worry about now, everything has been negotiated, that is to say, as long as he comes completely according to the rules, those soldiers will not move themselves at all, and the right to be Wang Zheng sent people to protect them.
......
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Houjin sent troops to occupy Dalinghe City, and in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army suffered a lot of damage in Hetuala, and the overall situation still did not change.
The Mongolian tribes have been attached, and Korea is also a vassal vassal, which is a complete solution to the worries of going south, and the slave chieftain Taiji only recuperated for a few days after rushing back to Xingjing, and then set the strategy of eight banners to recuperate and seize the western passage of Jinzhou Liao, in which the traitor Fan Wencheng made a great effort.
Jinzhou, with its important strategic position, is the main link of the Ningyuan and Jinzhou defense lines built by all the national strength of Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty.
The southwest of Jinzhou is Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan City and Ningyuan (now Xingcheng, Liaoning) important town, Huang Taiji knows very well that if Jinzhou is broken, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan three cities will definitely follow, Ningyuan will become a lonely city, and the entire defense line will completely collapse.
In March of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Taiji of the Nu Chieftain ordered that Prince Zheng Zierharang be the commander of the right wing, and Dorobelle Duoduo was the commander of the left wing, and each of the eight banners of the army went to Yizhou.
However, this time, the Qing army did not directly storm Jinzhou, but built a city in Yizhou, on the one hand, waiting for the Mongolian and Korean marching troops to arrive, and on the other hand, raising siege equipment, and gradually encroaching on the outlying strongholds of Jinzhou.
Zu Dashou, the general of Jinzhou, received the report and immediately sent it to the Beijing division urgently, saying that Jiannu was building a city outside, but in fact it was intended to be in Jinzhou, and Ningjin was in danger, so he asked for reinforcements from the imperial court.
However, at this time, the imperial court was deeply involved in the resurgence of Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others, and the five provinces of the Central Plains were full of flames, and the officials and troops were defeated in a row, and they were unable to pay attention to the war in Liaodong.
At the end of April, Huang Taiji personally went to Yizhou and Jinzhou to inspect the terrain and the situation of the Ming army, and convened the princes and ministers to discuss, and finally decided to besiege but not attack, besiege Jinzhou for a long time, cut off its source of pay, annihilate its reinforcements, and force the Ming army defending the city to surrender.
Zilharang and Duoduo respectively led the Eight Banners, the Mongolian tribes and the Korean coalition army from far and near, into the siege of Jinzhou, in order to achieve a long siege and a long siege, the Qing army rotated once every three months, and the period was repaired.
At this time, Yang Sichang led the Beijing battalion out of the customs to supervise the peasant army, and Emperor Chongzhen had just freed his hands to wax, but he learned that the war in Liaodong had restarted, and Jinzhou was in danger, so he immediately convened the ministers of various ministries and institutes to discuss the strategy in the court meeting.
Some people panicked and even suggested moving to Nanjing, and some people advocated peace, but most of them advocated reactivating Sun Chuanting, who was in prison, and let him lead the reinforcements from the towns on the nine sides to aid Jinzhou.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was greatly annoyed, feeling that he had just sent Sun Chuanting to prison, and his release in such a short period of time would damage the face of Tianwei, and strictly ordered that this matter should not be mentioned again.
Soon, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, said that between the Qing people's military Jin and Yi states, it was really a "long-lasting plan", which should not be taken lightly, and he tried to defend the double strategy.
After a fierce court discussion, Emperor Chongzhen adopted it.
Zu Dashou guarded Jinzhou City, led the Liao soldiers in the city to take advantage of the Qing army's foothold and took the initiative to attack, Jierharang defended more than enough but the attack was insufficient, the Qing army was defeated one after another, and the siege was not strict, so it has not been able to approach Jinzhou City.
In fact, it is said to be a siege, but in fact it is far from achieving the expected purpose of Huang Taiji, the Ming army in the city can even look at the Qing army camp opposite and come out to walk, and finally calmly return to the city, what kind of siege is this.
This situation continued until March of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, when Huang Taiji ordered Dolgon, the prince of Heshuorui, to replace the prince of Zheng, Jierharang, to preside over the siege.
Dolgon led two white flags to the outside of Jinzhou City, first learned about the situation inside and outside the city from the Zhubeile staff, followed by the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, and the Korean soldiers as the vanguard, and the Manchurian Eight Banners were behind, and quickly approached the Jinzhou City.
Dolgon himself led the Bajalatu army behind the formation and issued a strict order that if there was a rout in the marching army, the soldiers of the Eight Banners should be immediately killed.
In this situation, the Qing army gradually went crazy, driving siege equipment for several days to besiege the outer city of Jinzhou, although the Ming army struggled to resist, but still suffered heavy casualties.
Dolgon learned of the range of Jinzhou's artillery because of the leak of the surrendered Ming army in the city, and he immediately changed his tactics, camped around the city outside the range of Ming artillery fire, dug trenches, set up fences, and blocked all roads, so that Jinzhou's foreign aid was cut off.
At the end of March, the east pass guard of Jinzhou City surrendered Wu Bashi, and the Qing army then captured the outer city of Jinzhou, the morale was greatly boosted, and the internal and external situation took a sharp turn for the worse, Zu Dashou reported to the Ming court:
"Jincheng rice is only for more than a month, and the bean is less than a month, if the cunning voice is again Yin, Ning Jin's qi pulse is interrupted, then the pine, apricot, Jin three cities are already precarious, the morning is not over."
