readx; With the fire in Tongzhou, the Zhenghuang Banner camp of Huang Taiji was seen. The Qing army hurriedly sent 5,000 cavalry to reinforce www.biquge.info, but after all, the two places were forty miles apart, and when they arrived, the Tongzhou Health Department had been burned to the ground, and more than 200,000 stone of grain were reduced to nothing.

And this time it was Li Laiheng, the general of Dingnan, who pretended to be the Qing army to open the city gate. Since breaking up with Li Dingguo in Baoding, Li Laiheng was ordered to lead his troops quietly north. In order to ensure the secrecy of this operation, he did not dare to march during the day, and stationed himself in villages where the common people had fled, and at the same time sent scouts in all directions.

Once the Qing army approached, as long as it was a team of more than 30 people, Li Laiheng had to lead his troops to move the camp in case the Qing army found out and returned to report the news. Only the kind of bold man who dares to come out and plunder with a dozen or even seven or eight horsemen will be completely annihilated with lightning speed.

Only at night will Li Laiheng lead his four troops, including Li Shoujun, Li Shouyi, Hei Yougong, and Wu Mingming, to quietly move to the northeast.

For seven or eight days, Li Laiheng's troops went around Rongcheng County, Xiongzhou Mansion, Bazhou Prefecture, and Gu'an County. Bazhou Mansion and Gu'an County have been occupied by the Qing army, but the defenders do not know that under their noses, there is a Ming army of up to 4,000 horsemen.

It wasn't until he touched a dense forest in the northeast of Gu'an County, and there was no longer any risk of exposure, that Li Laiheng sent a letter to Zhu Youzhen Feige and informed him of his location. From then on, dozens of miles to the north, is the Qing army's blue banner camp, if the Qing army is discovered, Li Laiheng's department is actually very dangerous.

And the reason why he was willing to take the risk and came to such a place so close to Jingshi was for only one purpose: to follow Zhu Youzhen's holy decree, find an opportunity to raid Tongzhou, and burn all the grain stocks in Tongzhou!

The difficulty of this move lies in the choice of timing. It's too early, for example, if the Qing army has not yet divided the division, the Qing army will be highly vigilant and will not divide the troops to fight elsewhere; It's too late, if Huang Taiji learns the news of the failure of the partial teacher, he is likely to immediately take the class, and the class teacher will naturally have to transport all the grain in Tongzhou, then there will be no chance to start.

When the Qing army was repeatedly defeated under the city, and the two partial divisions were also hit hard one after another, especially after receiving the secret letter from Hao Yongzhong just now, Zhu Youzhen felt that the time was finally ripe. He immediately flew a pigeon and sent a message to Li Laiheng, and Li Laiheng asked Hei Yougong, who had learned Manchu, to shave his hair, dress up as a Qing army, and then put on the Qing army uniform he got when he annihilated the enemy, and took the lead in deceiving the opening of the state city.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Laiheng's chosen route of march was also extremely dangerous, and he passed through the narrow gap between the Zhenghuangqi camp and Tongzhou. Once unfortunately discovered by the Qing army, Li Laiheng had no choice but to quickly escape north into Yanshan.

Fortunately, Huang Taiji focused all his attention on the defenders of Beijing, as well as the officials and troops in Shanhaiguan, Xuanfu, and Baoding, and he didn't expect that the Ming army would dare to touch him under his nose. When his subordinates reported the news of the burning of the granary of Tongzhou City and the abduction of Sun Degong to Huang Taiji, he was still angry that he could not deal with the harassing attacks of the defenders of the Beijing Division, but now he was even more furious, and stomped his feet again and again: "I really misread Sun Degong, this useless waste!" Overnight, he buried half of the army's victory! ”

As he was beating his chest, Hauge led the defeated army with the blue flag to flee back. After Yixian was defeated by the Ming army with water, Haoge was so frightened that he didn't dare to stop for a moment on the road, and fled directly back to the city of Jingshi. Fearing that the Ming army would catch up, Hauge ordered everything he could to abandon it. When it was drawn a few days ago, there were 15,000 cavalrymen with blue flags, strong and proud; Now there are only 10,000 tired soldiers and 7,000 war horses left, which is really not enough to eat a bowl and a pot!

Immediately afterwards, Dai Shan and Yue Tuo sent fast horses back to report the details of the unfavorable war. At this time, not to mention Huang Taiji, even Dolgon and the others felt that something was wrong. At this time, they are not in the mood to fight, and how to act next is the most critical.

So Huang Taiji immediately convened a meeting in front of the emperor, and Dolgon was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I underestimated the ability of the Ming army, and both side divisions were defeated. If I hadn't insisted on luring the Ming army, I'm afraid my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty would not have suffered such a big loss. The blame lies with me, please punish the emperor heavily! ”

Everyone didn't expect that Dolgon would take the initiative to take responsibility, in fact, although he was the main adviser, it was Huang Taiji who made the decision, and there were other people who led the troops to the battle, so it was not his turn to take responsibility for Dolgon.

But his statement was actually an excuse for everyone, and he won the favor of all the Manchu nobles. Even his nemesis, Hauge, felt that this time Dorgon did not fall into the trap, but instead helped him speak, and couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at this little uncle who had cuckolded him.

Huang Taiji also appreciated Dorgon's move, because it was easiest to shirk each other's responsibilities in this situation, and now Dolgon's words not only avoided this situation, but prompted everyone to work together, which was really quite clever.

Therefore, he only replied in a deep voice: "The old fourteen don't blame themselves, the decision was made at the imperial meeting, everyone has a share, and now is not the time to hold them accountable." In your opinion, what should our army do now? ”

Now people like Zilharang, Derge, Haug, and others are so frightened that they have no idea; And Azig and Dordo were the only ones who looked to Dorgon. Therefore, all eyes were focused on Dolgon, and Dolgon said in a succinct manner: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, you should immediately take the teacher." In any case, this time, the emperor drove his own expedition and broke through dozens of prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty, although there was a loss of captured grain, there were still 200,000 stone left, and there was no calculation of gold, silver, wealth and silk, etc., which was still a big victory. Although we also lost some men and horses, the main forces of the banners were still there, and our casualties were not many compared to the conquest of Lin Dan Khan.

"Therefore, we should take advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not yet outflanked us, immediately cross the Yanshan Mountain, and still return to Liaodong by the grassland. The battle of the Ming Dynasty was also a great injury, and after our army was fully rested in the coming year, it will still make a comeback. If this is the case, repeat it several times, why worry that the Ming Dynasty will not die, and I will not prosper in the Qing Dynasty? ”

Everyone also echoed it, and said that Huang Taiji was also very comfortable in his heart: This is not called being beaten away, this is called the division of the victorious soldiers.

At this time, Zilharang asked, "Then which way should we go out of the customs?" ”

Dolgon said confidently: "Still return the same way from Xifengkou." First, the passes there have been completely destroyed by us, and second, we can also meet Amin's Eastern Route Army. ”

"Good!" Huang Taiji immediately made a decision, "It's so decided, tell all flags, and immediately pull out the camp!" ”
