Whether it was the Ming court or the Houjin Tartars, no one would have thought that the Mongols would be so vulnerable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In less than a month, the entire Chahar tribe was scattered, and Lin Dan Khan led his troops to retreat to Qinghai without resistance, and it was difficult to pose a threat to Houjin.

Huang Taiji disintegrated the Chahar tribes, and the various tribes rushed to join each other, and the deterrence of the Later Jin increased after the defeat of Linghe, and the Mongol tribes abandoned Lin Dan Khan and surrendered to the Later Jin for peace.

Since Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict on martial law in various parts of Gyeonggi in May, Li Mingfu, the successor of Xuanfu Town, and Xiao Yi, the chief soldier of Datong Town, followed the order, and Xuanda Second Town was also under martial law.

For a time, the rumors in various prefectures and counties were shocking when they heard the sound of horses' hooves.

When the time came to the middle of June, in fact, Datong Town had just undergone the great plunder of Lin Dan Khan in the second year of Chongzhen, and Xiao Yi had only succeeded for a few months, and he couldn't take care of all the places in the territory at all.

Except for Ulzhou, Datong Town, Settlement, and Gaoshan for more than 100 miles, the rest of the country was still in a very barren state, and the Tartar horse team could not find anything useful at all.

However, the weather was very favorable to the Houjin people, and when they were hesitating whether to return, the weather became colder and colder, and the river that could have hindered the Houjin cavalry from moving south gradually froze.

So Dolgon sent the Mongolian herdsmen from all the tribes who had returned to him to ride horses and trailers up the river to test the temptation, and in order to prevent them from fleeing in fear, Dolgon ordered the white flag to ride behind and show their swords to deter.

After the Mongols' probing, Dorgon was pleasantly surprised to find that the ice was very solid and reliable.

Since then, the general Azig of Heshuo Yangwu and the two white banner lords Belle Dolgon led tens of thousands of Houjin Mongolian iron horsemen to cross the river and swept Datong.

In fact, in addition to receiving Huang Taiji's order to plunder Datong, the two have selfish intentions, Azig and Xiao are also old enemies, and they are still resentful of being humiliated and defeated by Xiao Yi.

Now he led tens of thousands of iron hooves to enter the border strongly, and even fought victoriously, and the Ming army fled from the wind and did not even dare to come out of the city, and he must be ashamed of his blood, and it is really difficult to calm the resentment in Azig's heart if he does not kill Xiao.

Dolgon is different from Azig, Dolgon is only in his thirties, although he is only the Lord of Baylor, but he holds two white flags and heavy troops, and his reputation among the princes and ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty is also increasing, and he is already a little arrogant.

However, no matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't stop being surprised when he heard the news that Xiao Yidu was fighting the Ming army and actually took tens of thousands of Han pigs and sheep to defeat his Jurchen Iron Horse.

Immediately Dolgon checked all the deeds about Xiao Yi, but no matter how he searched, there were still very few things about Xiao Yi.

Dolgon would not be reconciled, so he sent the surrendered Han Aha to Datong Town to find out the truth of Xiao Yi and the Yong'an army.

However, the incident was extremely disappointing to Dolgon, and no matter how many Aha were sent to it, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all.

However, in April of the fifth year of Chongzhen, a carrier pigeon from the Huang family in Datong Town flew to the Baylor Mansion in Dolgon, Shengjing.

Although the Later Jin and the Ming court were at war for many years, to their surprise, the merchants of the Southern Dynasty floated to Shengjing like clouds.

If it was placed during the reign of the old slave chieftain, these people would not dare to come anyway, but since Huang Taiji succeeded the slave chief, he began to reuse the civil officials and generals of the Han people, and even let these merchants open branches and branches in Shengjing City.

Compared with the extremely unstable situation in the Ming Dynasty, it either suffered from various disasters such as locust plagues, droughts, and plagues, or was smashed and looted by thieves.

These mercenary businessmen naturally want to choose the relatively stable Shengjing, not to mention that in recent years, although no one has said about the annual deficit of the Ming Dynasty, these businessmen have some eyeliner in the court, and they have long been like a mirror in their hearts.

Coupled with the continuous defeat of Liaodong, the thieves in the southern state capitals are swarming again, and there are no good things and bad things continuously, who knows how long this Ming Dynasty can last?

Naturally, these businessmen want to leave a back road for themselves, and this back road is the current back money.

Some of the merchants in the north of the Ming Dynasty moved their families to the south to escape the war, and some still had a trace of coexistence with the imperial court in their hearts.

But after all, these are only a very small minority, and most of them deviate from the Ming court in the direction of development, and continue to go north, from the sea and land to contact and cooperate with the Houjin.

Among them, there is a close relationship with the Later Jin, and even enough to determine the success or failure of a war, that is, the Jin merchants who are all wealthy.

Among the Jin merchants, Shanxi businessmen Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, and Huang Yunfa are the eight giant businessmen.

At this turbulent juncture, the businessman's unique keen sense of smell made them see the rise and ambition of the Later Jin Dynasty and the gradual decline of the Ming Dynasty.

So in addition to normal trade, they secretly transported military supplies to the Jianzhou Tartars, and provided all kinds of information in the customs at a high price, and even the internal information of the Ming court was very comprehensive, and they engaged in political trading, which made them make a lot of money.

Emperor Chongzhen had already taken precautions against this kind of thing, and issued an edict at the beginning of his reign, strictly ordering the judicial yamen such as the local capital and salt affairs to supervise and prohibit this matter.

But it is normal for little success to be achieved now, not to mention those local petty officials, how many of the central officials are not wearing the same pants as these businessmen?

They are often willing to take risks to do this business of raiding their homes and destroying their families rather than have a bad relationship with Houjin, and Emperor Chongzhen is destined to be the object of deception and play.

Dolgon's face was dark after reading Huang Yunfa's letter, and after destroying it, he ordered the bannermen in the mansion to pull a few large carts of silver to the Huang family's branch in Shengjing City, but he groaned.

The events written on this volume of letters made Dolgon even more interested in Xiao Yi, and after the first battle of Linghe, Xiao Yi was unusually promoted to the chief military officer of Datong Town, which Dolgon could not imagine.

Almost in about three years, Xiao Yi has risen rapidly from a very ordinary little man, and now he is already a general guard, and this kind of promotion speed is unheard of.

Huang Taiji's original intention was to let Azig lead the two red banners to plunder Datong, but after Dolgon and Huang Taiji secretly discussed, Huang Taiji changed his strategy.

Let Dolgon personally train, the more powerful Jurchen two white flag iron cavalry and the association from the Mongolian Eight Banners tens of thousands, plus tens of thousands of Chahar tribes attached to the Mongolian herdsmen, mighty towards the town of Datong, its wolf ambition has been revealed.

In early June, someone in the DPRK and China was keenly aware of the changes in the Later Jin army, and this person was Lu Xiangsheng, who had three losses and rectified the army, and supervised the training of the Tianxiong army.

Lu Xiangsheng's words were sincere and reasonable.

In addition, Dong Yong, the squire of the military department, had the same opinion as Lu Xiangsheng, and after the ranking, Zheng Zheng said: "The soldiers of Jiannu gathered in Xuanda, and Datong Town bore the brunt. Thinking about it carefully, my dynasty is now a great prestige thanks to the Linghe Song Kai of Xiao Junmen, and now the slaves and thieves are gathering troops in Datong is no longer clear about their meaning, and the minister asks for permission to play the Lu soldiers, so that the Tianxiong army will be able to win another great victory in Datong. ”

After Dong Yong finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by all the ministers of the court, whether it was the Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party or the Donglin Party, they were all shocked by this matter.

Zhan Shifu Zuo Zan is good at Ge Yan and said angrily: "No! Now Xuanzhen Li Mingfu is in a hurry, if the Tianxiong Army is sent, who can resist the enemy!? ”

At this time, Zuo Zhongyun Li Mingrui came out of the ranks, bowed respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now Jiannu Shang can't beat my Jingshi, what Dong Shilang said is indeed the only plan for today, and the Yong'an Army must not be saved!" ”

After speaking, Li Mingrui and Dong Yong bowed again, and their words were very sincere.

Although Chongzhen was a little moved when he saw this, he still couldn't make a decision, and he hesitated in his heart.

Seeing the hesitation in Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, Wen Tiren came out and reprimanded loudly: "Could it be that I have no one without Xiao Yi!" Instead of defending the place where the ancestral shrine is buried, but instead entering Datong, what kind of situation are you waiting for!? ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was speechless, and even Dong Yong and Li Mingrui were shocked and couldn't say more.

Emperor Chongzhen trembled after hearing this, his expression gradually turned blue and white and hesitated, and he groaned for a long time, and Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict.

He strictly ordered Lu Xiangsheng's troops not to go to Datong Town, and gathered soldiers and horses from all over Gyeonggi, but he did not say a word about Datong.
