At this time in Korea, Huang Taiji is leading the Qing army to besiege the South Han Mountain City, all the Qin Wang troops in North Korea have been defeated by the Qing army, and the Korean monarchs and ministers can only sit in the lonely city, fortunately there are 30,000 Liaodong soldiers in the city to help, otherwise I am afraid that the South Han Mountain City has been broken by the Huang Taiji.

Once climbed to the south gate of Nanhan Mountain City, and saw the black pressure of the Qing army under the city, I couldn't help but sigh. The Qing army raised the white flag at Mochizuki Peak and wrote the word "surrender", and sent a letter to Renzu, ordering him to surrender out of the city. Renzu replied to the book "The siege is not solved, and the emperor is angry", so he can't go out of the city to ask for surrender, "The ancients had people who worshipped the Son of Heaven in the city, and the cover was not abolished, and the might of the soldiers was also terrible and ......." Seeing that the North Korean side was still entangled in the details of the surrender out of the city, the impatient Huang Taiji ordered the siege of the city with artillery

Today, Li Liang took his ministers Yin Ji and Wu Daji to climb the south gate of Nanhan Mountain City, and saw that the Qing army under the city was under a black pressure, and couldn't help sighing, and his eyes couldn't stop crying.

Yin Ji persuaded repeatedly: "Don't worry, the king, the 30,000 heavenly soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are in my Nanhan Mountain City at this moment, although the Qing soldiers are barbaric, but my Korean monarchs and ministers are united, and the Qing soldiers don't want to attack my Nanhan Mountain City!" ”

Li Wei shook his head: "This king is not worried about the Nanhan Mountain City, but worried about the Celestial Empire, the Qing army general Azig led 100,000 troops into the pass, if the Celestial Empire is invincible, even if I can defend the Nanhan Mountain City, what's the point?" If you can keep three months, can you still keep it for three years? ”

The ministers were silent, only Yin Ji said loudly: "If the mountain city of Nanhan can't be defended, the minister will mention the three-foot Qingfeng to die here, and kill himself, my North Korea is known as Little China, how can the minister see that North Korea has become a vassal of the Qing Dynasty barbarians, and only one death to repay the monarch's father!" ”

Li Qi excitedly grabbed Yin Ji's sleeve and said in a loud voice: "Yin Qing, please see, the Qing army is raising the white flag at Wangyue Peak at this moment, and the word "surrender" is written to the king of books, ordering this king to go out of the city and surrender!" This is a secret letter sent in by the Qing army, please take a look at it! ”

Yin Ji and the others took the secret letter and looked through it, and couldn't help but scold: "The Qing Dynasty is really a wolf's ambition, and it actually wants my North Korea to become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty." I also want to send Wang's eldest son to Shenyang to live for a long time, and I have to order my dynasty to take turns to send protons to the Qing Dynasty. We also want to pay a tribute of 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 2,000 horses of white ramie, 20,000 horses of various colors, 800 horses of fine linen of various colors, 10,000 horses of various colors of fine cloth, and 100,000 bags of rice! The Qing Dynasty is so demanding, so that the people of our dynasty will be deeply trapped by it, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the authority of the king in the hearts of the people in the court will plummet, and the country will not be a country for a long time! The king must not listen to the words of the Qing Dynasty and turn his back on his father! ”

"What Lord Yin said is very true, now my Nanhan Mountain City can only be defended by 30,000 heavenly soldiers, if the king agrees to the Qing Dynasty, it will undoubtedly betray the Celestial Empire, but I am afraid that it will cause the Celestial Empire to be angry!" Wu Daji persuaded again and again.

Li Liang said solemnly: "How can this king surrender to the Qing Dynasty, this king just intends to make a false accusation to the Qing Dynasty, so as to confuse the Qing army and slow down the offensive, I don't know what Yin Qing wants?" ”

The party and government of North Korea are more serious than those of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is faintly controlled in the future, and the imperial power has long been in the hands of the ministers. Li Liang actually didn't seem to be confronted by the Qing Dynasty, but there was the Ming Dynasty on the outside and the scholars on the inside, and he didn't dare to show any traces of considering the Qing Dynasty at all, otherwise Guanghaijun would be his precedent.

When Yin Ji and Wu Daji heard Li Liang's words, they glanced at each other, pondered for a moment and said to Li Liang: "The king's words are very good, but this plan should be discussed with the ancestral general soldiers first!" ”

Li Liang nodded and should be: "Of course, now that the chief soldier of the ancestral army is in charge of military affairs, of course he has to inform the general soldier of the ancestral army first!" ”

So Yin Ji and others invited Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of the Ming army, to discuss.

The ancestral family inherited the Ming Dynasty Ning Yuanwei military position and continued to improve, becoming the Ningyuan Wang clan, Zu Dashou as a member of the Liaodong generals, as a general soldier, experienced almost all the wars between the Ming army and the Qing Dynasty, although there was already a faint image of a warlord, when Emperor Chongzhen sent Yuan Chonghuan to prison to ask for the guilt, Zu Dashou led the troops to go east, and later Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter to recruit Zu Dashou, Sun Chengzong also sent an envoy to comfort, please Zu Dashou to atone for Yuan Chonghuan's crimes, Zu Dashou returned to the Guannei.

But on the whole, compared to Liaodong generals like Wu Sangui, they are still loyal.

The Jiangmen people in Liaodong are famous for their pits, and they are not only outsiders, but also their relatives are not merciful.

During the battle of Daling River to relieve the siege, tens of thousands of Ming troops in Zhejiang and Sichuan tried to save the Liaodong Army from breaking through, and Zu Dashou's nephew Wu Sangui suddenly commanded the officers and men of the post to turn back before the battle, not only sold all the Ming troops who saved them from trouble in the future, but also made Zu Dashou fall into a heavy siege.

And Zu Dashou was trapped in Jinzhou again, Hong Chengchou led the Hong army, the last elite of the Qin soldiers and the Ming Dynasty to help, and fought a decisive battle with the Qing army in Songshan, and it was Wu Sangui who escaped with Guanning Iron Cavalry, which led to the defeat of Hong Chengchou's army, and Zu Dashou ran out of food again after holding the lonely city of Jinzhou for a year, and finally had to go out of the city and surrender.

However, Zu Dashou surrendered twice because of helplessness, and at the time of Da Linghe, Huang Taiji successively sent Shu Zu Dashou and He Kegang to persuade him to land quickly. But he was still rejected by Zu Dashou.

So Huang Taiji personally wrote to Zu Dashou, and even took the initiative to put down his identity and explain: "It was true that I killed the Liao people in the past, and I deeply regret it, we have not done that for a long time." As for Yongping's massacre of the city, it was done by Erbel Amin, and he was also severely punished for this, I hope you don't have this prejudice! ”

But Zu Dashou still did not obey, Dalinghe City was besieged for three months, and when the food in the city was eaten, the horses were killed and eaten, and the horses were gone, so they killed people and cannibalized each other.

Until the end, Huang Taiji once again sent a letter to the ancestor Dashou, and Zu Dashou, who had run out of ammunition, killed He Kegang, who would rather die than surrender, and opened the city gate to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. However, after surrendering, Zu Dashou suggested to Huang Taiji, saying that his wife and children were in Jinzhou City, and while Jinzhou did not know that he had surrendered, he was willing to take a group of soldiers and horses to Jinzhou, and be an internal response in the city to seize Jinzhou City.

Huang Taiji was confused by Zu Dashou's acting skills for a while, thinking that there were still many clansmen in the army at this moment, and he agreed to let Zu Dashou go to Jinzhou City with great confidence.

I never thought that as soon as Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou City, he would organize a defense to resist the Qing army. At that time, Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, led a team to surrender to the imperial court, and Emperor Chongzhen not only did not surrender, but promoted Zu Dashou to the governor of the left capital and led Jinzhou.

It can also be seen from this that Chongzhen actually still has the means and brains, but his temperament is too impatient, and he is mean and unkind, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and the warlords who have soldiers on the opponent such as Zuo Liangyu and others do not dare to punish them with heavy hands, but they are loyal to the people, because they are too heavy to be punished, and in the end no one is available, and only Wang Chengen is accompanied when he hangs himself, which is not unreasonable.

This time, Sun Chengzong asked Zu Dashou to lead troops to garrison North Korea, Yang Su did not object, and it was also because although Zu Dashou had many shortcomings, he was still useful compared to other Liaodong generals.
