readx; At the same time, in Dalinghe City, which was besieged by the Later Jin Eight Banners, the unfinished General Military Mansion was heavily guarded, and an extremely oppressive and desperate atmosphere was enveloped from the outside to the inside. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Daling River has been besieged for nearly ten days. During this period, the Later Jin army launched two large-scale attacks, which were basically the same as before: the Han army bannermen were driven to serve as meat shields in front, the Mongol Eight Banners followed behind to fire arrows at the city, and the Jurchens supervised the formation in the rear. The Ming army was bombarded with Hongyi cannons from afar, hit with Franc machine cannons at close range, and then fired arrows at close range, while the enemy ants attacked the city with knives and guns at the head of the city.

After two attacks, although the Houjin army failed to capture the city head and suffered heavy casualties, it also brought a lot of casualties to the Ming army. There were originally 35,000 border troops in Dalinghe City, and more than 3,000 were killed and wounded at once.

After that, on the Jin army's side, the Jurchens did not even scratch their skin, and the Mongolian Eight Banners also suffered very light casualties, and only the Han Army Banner paid six or seven thousand casualties. According to the meaning of Azig, Dolgon and other Baylors, the lives of the Han people are not worth anything anyway, let them continue to pad up, and wait until the ammunition of the defenders is exhausted, and the Jurchen Eight Banners will wave their troops to attack the city, which will definitely be achieved overnight.

But Huang Taiji rejected the suggestion. In his opinion, even if the life of the Han people is very cheap, they are obedient dogs. Since it is a dog, it is its own property and cannot be squandered at will. Therefore, after these two large-scale attacks, Huang Taiji stopped besieging the city and only continued the siege. Fortunately, the defenders of the city breathed a sigh of relief; If the Houjin army desperately smashes people upwards regardless of blood, Da Linghe is really dangerous.

Rao is like this, Zu Dashou, the supreme commander of Dalinghe and the chief officer of the Pingliao Forward, still feels panicked all day. He knew very well in his heart that half of Liaodong's troops were already in his hands, Jinzhou's self-protection was still insufficient, and the rest were far away in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, so it was impossible to come to the rescue soon, and even if he came, it would be more than lucky. And looking at Huang Taiji's posture, he actually wants to trap himself. Although there is enough grain and grass in the city for four or five months, what happens after five months?

What scared him even more was that in the past two days, the Jurchens had also launched two Hongyi cannons and fired at the city wall from a distance of one mile. Although the fire was extremely slow and inaccurate, and most of them landed in the fields outside the city, a few shells still hit the city walls, and two more shells crashed over the walls into the city.

The city wall of the Daling River was newly built, and some places were not very reliable, and it was hit by a powerful solid iron bullet, and immediately collapsed a large piece. Although the defenders immediately rebuilt it, the psychological shock of the shelling to the soldiers was impossible to eliminate. In the past, they always thought that the Houjin army was not good at attacking cities, and they could bully others with artillery; Now that the Jurchens also have Hongyi cannons, the advantage of the defenders is gone!

When the army's heart was shaken, an envoy for peace was actually sent to the Houjin camp. Although Zu Dashou did not want to surrender, it was good to take advantage of the opportunity to negotiate peace to delay time, so he secretly met with this envoy in the General Military Palace.

The person whose surname is Fan, called Fan Wencheng, is about thirty years old, burly, but he is dressed as a scribe and looks quite elegant. He is the study officer in the newly established "Wenguan" of Huang Taiji, although he is a Han Chinese, he is not in the Eight Banners sequence, and has no official identity, but he usually has many opportunities to contact with Huang Taiji, and is quite reused by Huang Taiji. Therefore, Zu Dashou was also polite to him, and asked, "What do you have to say, sir?" If you are persuaded to surrender, you should not open your mouth. ”

"General Zu, the students are not persuading to surrender, but are here for the future of the general." Fan Wencheng is extremely eloquent and good at grasping other people's minds, so he said seriously at this time.

"Oh?" Zu Dashou laughed mockingly, "For the general, either the victory is triumphant, or the horse leather shroud, there are only two futures." I don't know which one you want to give to this soldier? ”

"Who are the students, how can they decide the future of General Zu? Whether it is life or death, glory or disgrace, whether it is a hundred generations or a laughing stock in the world, it is all in the general's heart. Fan Wencheng said leisurely.

"Sir, tell me about it!"

"Yes!" Fan Wencheng smiled slightly, "General Zu was originally from Liaodong, born and raised in Si. The Han people lived in harmony with the Dajin Eight Banners, cultivating their fields and living in peace. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty deceived people too much, and booby-trapped the ancestor and father of Yingming Khan. However, in the past 20 years, it has developed from a small tribe to 200,000 iron cavalry, unifying the Jianzhou and Haixi tribes, conquering Korea in the east and Mongolia in the west, and repeatedly defeating the Ming army. If it weren't for the ordination of heaven, what could have been done? ”

Seeing that Zu Dashou was silent, Fan Wencheng continued: "On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli did not go to court for 20 years, Emperor Taichang collapsed after less than a month on the throne, and Emperor Tianqi did not sit in the court, but took pleasure in the small skills of carving insects with knives and saws wooden ropes, and died in less than seven years, isn't it a sign of the country's demise?" Wenchen formed a party for personal gain, and the infighting continued; The generals embezzled empty salaries and relaxed their armaments. Promotion, reward and punishment, all depend on the distance of the relationship and the amount of money, with the general's talent and years of military exploits, how can he be a marquis and worship the general, but now it is only a town of soldiers, tens of thousands of tired soldiers, trapped in the lonely city day and night. And those princes of the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do all day long, and their treatment was above that of the general, and the students were deeply unhappy with the general! ”

Because Zu Dashou felt that he had a heavy army but was too slow to be promoted, he was not used to seeing the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK in ordinary times. Fan Wencheng's words can be regarded as speaking to his heart, and he nodded frequently.

However, after pondering for a while, Zu Dashou still shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Although Mr.'s words are reasonable, but those who are ministers and eaters of kings should be treated with death." Sir's talent and learning, this soldier is very respectful, but you and I are our own masters, it is useless to talk more, you better hurry out of the city. ”

"The general is wrong again." How could Fan Wencheng not see Zu Dashou's mental activity, and immediately followed up.

"Oh? What's wrong with this soldier? Zu Dashou said suspiciously.

"The world is not a world of one person and one surname, only the virtuous live in it." Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "Since the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties have changed. Meng Yuan has no way, Zhu Yuanzhang can still win the world from the grass, my Dajin Yingming Khan has been a commander for many generations, and his merits are all over the world, is it that Zhu Ming has no way, and my Dajin can't replace him?

"What's more, if Cong Khan is martial today, the soldiers under his command will break through the Shanhaiguan Pass and go straight to the Beijing Division. If General Zu opens the city in time and returns to righteousness, he will be the minister who founded the country from the dragon, and the Great Khan will not live up to the general; If you resist stubbornly, it is a mantis arm as a car, not only broken bones, but also laughed at by future generations, please think carefully! ”

As soon as the words fell, before Zu Dashou could speak, a person next to him jumped forward one by one, grabbed Fan Wencheng's neck and said, "Lord Commander, what nonsense are you talking about with such a traitor!" Let the last general directly disembowel him and feed it to the dogs, maybe the dogs won't eat it! ”

"He Kegang, you are presumptuous! Don't quit yet! Zu Dashou slammed the table and said.

The man let go of his hand in hatred and withdrew from the hall without saying a word.
