Chapter 662: Huang Taiji's body
When Dolgon led the army of 100,000 to set off, he had great ambitions in his heart, from the emperor's words, he felt that this was an opportunity to decisive, if Yue Tuo could hold out for more than five days, he could lead the army, exterminate the Ming army stationed in Songshan, occupy Songshan, cut off the grain route to attack the Ming army of the Daling River, and wait until the Ming army ran out of food and made a commotion, and led the army to attack the Ming army, Yue Tuo, who was stationed in the city of Dalinghe, could also lead the Han army in the city to attack the Ming army, so that the front and back were flanked, You can annihilate most of the Ming army, you must know that this time they are facing a Ming army of 150,000.
What kind of impact will the extermination of the 150,000 Ming army have, it is needless to say, maybe this time it will really be able to take Jinzhou City in one fell swoop and threaten Ningyuan City.
Ningyuan City is the sad place of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the emperor's heart.
The speed of the 100,000-strong army is very fast, the first day of the fifth month is assembled, the second day of the fifth month early in the morning set out, after noon, the army has marched more than 100 miles, according to this speed, in the evening of the third day of the fifth month, it can attack Songshan.
When the scouts came to report, Dorgon was still immersed in his own reverie.
"Report, big marshal, there is a sergeant from Dalinghe City, report the news."
Dolgon glared angrily, how could the sergeant of Dalinghe City come to report the news so quickly, it is said that at this time, there is no need to report any news, before leaving, he and the emperor specially analyzed, the Ming army took Songshan on April 28, after a period of preparation, the earliest will be in early May will attack Dalinghe City, not to mention that Dalinghe City still has a peripheral stronghold, stick to the peripheral stronghold for about two days, the Ming army can really attack Dalinghe City, the earliest is around May 5, that time. The army led by him has already captured Songshan and cut off the grain route of the Ming army, I am afraid that the Ming army attacking Dalinghe City will immediately become a pot of porridge, at this time. He led the army to press up, and the Ming army had no chance to escape.
"Bring it here."
Seeing the outfit of the visitor, Dolgon recognized it at a glance, this is the sergeant of the red flag under Dai Shan.
But the demeanor of these people made Dolgon feel bad, and these people had the smell of gunsmoke, could it be that the Ming army had begun to attack Dalinghe City in advance, or that Dalinghe City was in danger.
Several people threw themselves on their knees. He wept bitterly, and the leader spoke.
"Da Shuai, Da Linghe City was lost, Da Marshal Yue was captured by the Ming army, and Deputy Marshal Kong was also captured by the Ming army......"
Dorgon nearly fell off his horse, but he struggled to hold himself.
"You deserters, don't you want to live anymore, talk nonsense here. Come on, drag these people down and cut them down. ”
"Great. The little one doesn't dare to lie, this is a letter written by Su Tiancheng, the Liao Governor of the Great Ming Ji, to the emperor, the little one is telling the truth, the big handsome spare his life......"
As the soldiers were about to drag a few of them down, Dorgon waved his hand.
"What kind of letter Su Tiancheng wrote to the emperor, bring it."
After getting the letter. Dorgon was about to open it, but after a moment's thought, he put the letter in his bosom.
"Tell me more about what the situation is."
In fact, these people have always been at the command headquarters. It is not very clear about the situation outside, but they were arrested, Dalinghe City was captured by the Ming army, Yue Tuo and Kong Youde and others were captured alive, this is an indisputable fact, none of the sergeants stationed in Dalinghe City escaped.
They can still honestly say these situations.
After a few minutes, Dolgon was silent, he already understood that these people were not lying, they were actually specially released by Su Tiancheng to report the news, and these people could not be killed for the time being.
After several men were taken down, Dorgon ordered the army to halt its advance for the time being.
He needs to digest the facts in front of him, what can Su Tian be so powerful, but in two days, he took Dalinghe City, and none of the 30,000 people stationed in Dalinghe City escaped, how much strength is needed, how powerful is the Jiangning battalion, no wonder the emperor is so jealous of Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion.
But why did Su Tian become a man to report the news, if he set up an ambush, wouldn't the army he led also suffer, he didn't go directly to Dalinghe City, but went directly to Songshan, Dalinghe City has been won by Su Tiancheng, and his own move has become a stinky chess piece, surrounded by the Ming army.
Thinking of this, Dolgon couldn't help but take the letter out of his bosom and thought about opening it.
In the end, he held back, ordered the army to camp on the spot, strictly guarded, and at the same time sent several scouts to quickly rush to Dalinghe City, observe the movement, quickly report the information detected, and he took his own soldiers and the few returning sergeants and went straight to Shenyang.
Back in Shenyang, the sky had just darkened, and Dolgon didn't dare to delay the time, so he went directly to the palace.
Huang Taiji was still dealing with official business, and when he learned that Dolgon asked to see him, he was very surprised, and he wanted to know that Dolgon had only set off in the morning, and he had returned to Shenyang at this time.
When Dolgon came in, his face was very bad, and when he saw Dolgon's expression, Huang Taiji had a premonition of something, and his face turned a little pale.
"Your Majesty, my brother has something important to report."
"Fourteenth brother, if there is anything, just say it directly."
"The younger brother received a report that Dalinghe City was lost, and none of the 30,000 soldiers escaped."
Huang Taiji's body shook a little.
"Fourteenth brother, what did you say, such a major matter, have you verified it?"
"Brother Chen, there is a letter here, which was written to the emperor by Su Tiancheng, the Liao Governor of the Great Ming Dynasty."
Dorgon pulled the letter out of his bosom.
A few of the sergeants who had been released finally entered the main hall, and they didn't even have the strength to stand.
Huang Taiji ignored them and quickly opened the letter.
Looking at it, Huang Taiji's face became more and more pale, and after reaching the most unbearable, he finally couldn't help it, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The hall was in a hurry, the eunuchs were busy supporting Huang Taiji, and someone ran out of the palace to call the imperial doctor.
Dolgon's face turned pale, regretting not falling, he finally understood a little, why would Su Tian send someone to deliver the letter, and did not set up an ambush for Lu He, it turned out that all this was aimed at the emperor, if there was any problem with the emperor's body, wouldn't it be a disaster for the Great Qing Kingdom.
Enraged, Dolgon ordered the guards guarding the main hall to prepare to pull out a few of the sergeants who had returned to deliver the letter and cut them down.
At this time, Huang Taiji spoke, and his voice was weak.
"Fourteenth brother, don't embarrass these sergeants, tell them to go home, this matter has nothing to do with them, I have to rest for a while."
On this night, Dai Shan, Dolgon, Azig, Zilharang, Fan Wencheng and others have been waiting in the palace, in the middle of the night, they are sleepy, so they get up and walk, the imperial doctor has already given the emperor a pulse, saying that it is caused by overwork, there is no big problem, a little rest, there is nothing to do.
Dai Shan and others were speechless for a long time when they learned that Dalinghe was lost, Yue Tuo and Kong Youde were captured alive, and none of the 30,000 soldiers escaped.
The short-tempered Azig immediately went into a frenzy, saying that he was leading the army to recapture Dalinghe City and break Su Tiancheng's body into pieces.
But Azig is also throwing a tantrum, which is impossible.
At the end of the day, Huang Taiji's spirit was much better, and he asked the eunuch to help him to the main hall.
Seeing that the once powerful Huang Taiji had become like this, everyone was uncomfortable, especially Fan Wencheng, who even shed tears. As a Han Chinese, if it weren't for Huang Taiji's appreciation, he would still be a slave of the Manchurians.
Although Huang Taiji's face was a little pale, his spirit was indeed good.
"Fourteenth brother, the matter of rescuing Dalinghe City will be put aside for the time being, the army will be stationed in place, waiting for news, second brother, I am sorry for you, Yue Tuo was captured by Su Tianchengsheng, and Kong Youde, this is all my mistake, if I could have expected it earlier, I would not have ended up today."
"The emperor takes care of his body, the minister thinks that the loss of Dalinghe City, for my Qing Dynasty, although it is a big loss, but it is not a big loss, but it is not hurtful, almost all of the people stationed in Dalinghe City are Han army, my Eight Banners children have suffered a blow, the minister suggested, after the autumn harvest, my army recaptured Dalinghe City again."
On behalf of the good old man, there is also room for speaking.
Azig wasn't so sophisticated.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers implore you to lead the army, recapture Dalinghe City, and capture Su Tiancheng alive."
Huang Taiji looked at Azig and did not lose his temper.
"Twelfth brother, I can understand your mood, but you need to think a lot about what you say and do, Su Tiancheng can take Dalinghe City in one day, what is the reason for this, you need to think more, even if I send a large army, can I guarantee to recapture Dalinghe City, if I can't get it back, I continue to suffer losses, how to deal with it."
Azig stopped talking, and everyone was dumbfounded, Huang Taiji said the most critical question, how did Su Tiancheng do it, within one day, he took Dalinghe City, and none of the soldiers in the city escaped.
If you can't explain this reason, then you can only understand that Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying have terrifying strength, and I'm afraid that what the Great Qing Kingdom needs to consider is not only the matter of recapturing the Daling River, but also how to defend Shenyang.
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng who was standing behind, and sighed softly, Su Tiancheng's letter was really powerful, and he praised him Huang Taiji in it, but in the end, he also pointed it out unceremoniously, Yue Tuo and Kong Youde were great gifts from his Huang Taiji, and they were ready to attack Dalinghe City, but unfortunately the sergeants guarding it were not in the eyes of the law, so they spread the news and ordered the Great Qing Kingdom to send Yue Tuo and Kong Youde, such a big gift must be accepted, so remind Huang Taiji, Dalinghe City, take it down within one day, If Huang Taiji wants to reinforce and attack the wine banquet of Dalinghe City, which has not yet completely cooled down, he can entertain the Houjin soldiers who came to the rescue.
The Han people are so powerful, they have to be unforgiving.
Huang Taiji knew that he had encountered the biggest difficulty, and he needed to think seriously about what to do next. (To be continued......)
