Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Northern Expedition! Northern expedition! (ix)

Although Zhou Quanbin was very contemptuous of the generals who sacrificed the city, those generals could be regarded as reducing the casualties of the soldiers of the two armies. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Quanbin still disdained the disdain in his heart, and still made a great contribution to these Qing soldiers who took refuge, and escorted them to Nanjing to meet Zheng Chenggong.

As for how the general arranged a few of them, it has nothing to do with Zhou Quanbin.

Sending away a few surrendered Qing generals, Zhou Quanbin drank, "Come on, escort Han Dai up!" ”

Han Dai escorted the soldiers of the Zheng family army with a lot of flowers.

After Han Dai came in, he didn't kneel, but his eyes were a little confused, and his will to die was born, and he had no ecology.

Zhou Quanbin valued Han Dai very much when he arrived, and wanted to recruit him.

Zhou Quanbin slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Han Dai, the Tartars killed my Chinese people, you are originally a Han Chinese, but you are helping to abuse, and now you have been captured, don't surrender quickly!" ”

When Han Dai heard this, his confused eyes suddenly sobered up, and he shouted: "Becoming a king and defeating a prisoner, since I am already a prisoner, I want to kill or be widowed, and Xi Congjun will be convenient." I eat the Qing Dynasty, although I am not a great sage, I also know that loyal ministers are not two masters. If you want me to surrender, that's absolutely impossible! ”

After speaking, he immediately scolded non-stop.

Seeing that Han Dai was bent on being a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Tartars, Zhou Quanbin was furious, and immediately ordered the sword and axe hand to be pushed out and killed, in order to set an example!

Han Dai was tortured by the neck and calmly died.

Afterwards, Zhou Quanbin couldn't help but feel some pity for Han Dai's loyalty, and immediately ordered someone to bury him.

So much so that Zhou Quanbin didn't bother to judge the rest of them.

If you are willing to surrender, you will be escorted back to Nanjing to deal with it, and if you are not willing to surrender, you don't need to ask if you are killed on the spot.

After dealing with the prisoners of war, Zhou Quanbing began to discuss the next plan with other soldiers.

In the attack on Xi'an City, the Zheng family army also suffered nearly tens of thousands of casualties, but these were worth it.

Xi'an City was taken, Zhou Quanbin rested in the city for a day, and then sent troops to attack the counties of Shaanxi.

Especially the four major passes of Qinchuan.

Hangu Pass in the east, Dasan Pass in the west, Wuguan in the south, and Xiao Pass in the north

If the four levels are consolidated, Qinchuan will be stable; If the four passes are lost, Qin Chuan will be lost.

Hangu Guanxi is based on the plateau, east of the river, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River, is the east to Luoyang, west to Chang'an's throat, is one of the earliest Xiongguan fortresses built in Chinese history.

Dasanguan is located in the southern suburbs of Baoji City, at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and has been the "throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi" since ancient times. It is the throat that goes in and out of Sichuan.

Wuguan is located on the north bank of the Dongwuguan River in Danfeng County, Shangluo City, Shaanxi Province, with the lofty Shaoxi Mountain in the north and dangerous in the south. Guarding Qin Chu's throat.

Xiao Guan stood in the Liupan Mountain Pass, guarding the passage from the direction of the Jing River into Guanzhong. It is an important pass in the northwest direction of Guanzhong, and protects the safety of Guanzhong and Northwest.

At this time, as long as these four passes are taken, the entire Qinchuan territory will no longer be afraid of harassment by the Qing army. This Shaanxi can be regarded as completely stable, and it has completely become a stable rear base area.

Hangu Pass is a key road, and there are many people who enter and exit every day.

Zhou Quanbin asked Wang Xiuqi to lead hundreds of soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people and mix in with the ordinary people.

As soon as they entered the pass, the Zheng family army immediately attacked, beheaded the soldiers at the city gate, cut the ropes, and guarded the city gate.

Yao Guotai led the remaining cavalry to break through, and the soldiers of the Zheng family army followed closely behind.

Conquer Hangu Pass in one fell swoop.

Controlling Hangu Pass, Zhou Quanbin led the Zheng family army to sweep back.

These passes were mainly aimed at the external enemy, and there were not so many defenses on the inside.

Zheng Jiajun attacked all the way like the wind, first breaking through the Dasan Pass, then Kewu Pass, and Xiao Pass, and firmly controlled Qinchuan in less than ten days.

Zhou Quanbin sent someone to invite Chen Yonghua to come to Xi'an to sit in the town and coordinate the government affairs in the northwest, and he led the army towards Henan.

……

The Jinluan Palace of the Forbidden City of Beijing, the Xi'an urgent military report has just arrived.

Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was shocked when he saw the urgent report, and urgently summoned the main civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, Xi'an is an important town in the northwest, and once it is lost, the northwest will no longer be owned by the Qing Dynasty. Troops should be sent in support as soon as possible. Sony busily suggested.

"Lord Suo's words are indeed reasonable. Please also the emperor! Sukh Saha also came out to persuade him.

Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty nodded and said, "I understand, Feng Wakda is the general of Pingxi, and he led an army of 70,000 to Xi'an to rescue Gushan Ezhen Esai!" ”

"The emperor sees it!" Sonny and the other ministers looked happy, and they all knelt down and drank.

As soon as the ministers knelt down, they saw one of the imperial guards hurrying into the hall.

"Emperor Qiqi, there is a report of the battle of Xi'an for eight hundred miles!"

"What is the battle report? Hurry up! ”

I just received an urgent report, and now it is an urgent report of 800 miles. Emperor Shunzhi of Qing suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart, and asked urgently.

"Yes!" The imperial guards stepped forward and hurriedly handed the letter to the eunuch, so that the eunuch could forward it to the emperor.

Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty tore open the letter and quickly read it at a glance.

The Qing army's iron cavalry was defeated and suffered heavy losses!

Esai committed suicide!

Xi'an City is broken!

Han Dai was killed!

After reading this military report, Shunzhi raised his head and said with difficulty in a slightly hoarse voice, "Everyone, Aiqing, there is no need to rescue Xi'an City." The city of Xi'an has fallen! ”

"What?" Including Sony, the Chinese Wu of the Hall instantly turned pale, completely stunned by this news, and was on the spot, like a clay puppet.

It's only been a few days, and nearly 60,000 elite soldiers, led by Generals Esai and Han Dailiang, have fallen so quickly.

This is really unacceptable to the Manchu ministers!

Sonny is the oldest person here, and he has been involved in government affairs since Nurhachi, and he has never seen any storms and waves.

He was the first to come back to his senses, with a helpless and painful expression on his face, slowly shaking his head and sighing silently.

"Your Majesty, this is not the time for sorrow, and the top priority is to immediately order the king of Wakda to lead his army straight to the Tiger Pass. If Zheng's army did not conquer Luoyang. That is, the army will be stationed in Luoyang to defend, if Luoyang has fallen, it will be guarded according to the tiger prison. The second is to try to block this news as much as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! Sonny persuaded Shunji.

Shunji was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly, "Yes, Wakda, you can go, let's go now!" ”

"The emperor can rest assured, even if the slaves fight for their lives, they will stop the Zheng family's army!" The king of the county, Wakda, also knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't say much, clenched his fists and took his orders, and left in a hurry.

After the discussion, a group of civil and military officers walked out of the Forbidden City slowly, their expressions extremely serious, and even a little depressed and desperate.

No one was in the mood to talk, and after everyone had bowed hands to each other, they got into their chariots and horses, and returned to their mansions.

Tonight, I don't know how many people will not be able to sleep......

In Huangming City, Nanjing, Zheng Chenggong also received a military information from Zhou Quanbin.

saw Zhou Quanbin conquer Xi'an City and sweep Shaanxi.

Zheng Chenggong immediately said in fear of the bookcase, "Okay, it's not in vain that I promoted him like this." Bangxian really didn't disappoint me. ”

Yao Qisheng said with a smile, "Listening to the general's words, it seems that the army of the Western Road has made some gains!" ”

General Zheng Chenggong handed the newspaper to Yao Qisheng and said, "You can also take a look." Zhou Quanbin has recovered Shaanxi and is heading towards Henan! ”

Yao Qisheng took a quick look at it, and said, "Congratulations to the general, as long as Henan is in Henan, General Zhou and General Gan will be able to attack Shandong together." Great things can be done! ”

Hearing Yao Qisheng mention Gan Hui, Zheng Chenggong sat on the chair and said, "Gan Hui was the most brave in the past, why is he afraid now, it's been almost half a month, and even Xuzhou hasn't been taken yet." I was so disappointed! Hee-Zhi, wait a minute, you can help me deliver a message to him. Ask him if he will still fight, no, just go home and take the child. Lao Tzu will send someone again! Damn, now our plan is because of his friction. Delay in implementation! ”

Yao Qisheng wanted to open his mouth to help Gan Hui explain, but after thinking about it, he remained silent.

Yao Qisheng understood that Zheng Chenggong was going to send his eldest son Zheng Jing to join the army, firstly, he wanted him to know more about military affairs, and secondly, he wanted him to have a good relationship with the main generals of the Zheng family's army.

When he is in power, he will be able to save a lot of trouble.

It's just that the general forgot that as the situation became clearer, other people's attitudes towards him gradually changed.

General, your ambition can now be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

Once you wear the dragon robe, Zheng Jing will not be the crown prince, the first heir to the throne in the future!

With Zheng Jing, the future prince, here, where does Gan Hui dare to risk attacking the city with all his might.

Among the 100,000 troops, 50,000 soldiers and horses can attack the city, which can be regarded as Gan Hui's courage.

In other words, it was someone else, and I couldn't wait for the 100,000 army to surround Zheng Jing and protect him.

Otherwise, no matter how much credit you make, you won't be able to withstand the consequences of Zheng Jing's accident.

Although Yao Qisheng knew the reason, it was not easy to tell Zheng Chenggongming: Gan Hui will be like this, not because you sent your eldest son Zheng Jing to his side.

It's just that Yao Qisheng can't say these words clearly. I had to mention one or two points in the letter to Gan Hui and Zheng Jing. (To be continued.) )
