Section 215 Yang Chao's Nomination
Yang Chao was really convinced by the courage of these civil officials.
After Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he was never polite to the civil officials who abandoned the city and fled, and none of the heads and the nine clans were spared, but they still couldn't stop the escape of the civil officials, whether the captives came, or Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong came, there were those who abandoned the city and fled.
"Who's in charge in the city now?"
Yang Chao immediately asked.
Jiang Yang replied: "Dian Shi Song Lian! ”
Yang Chao continued: "You go to Song Lian and ask him to allow our army to enter the city immediately, it's too late." ”
Jiang Yang knew that he didn't have time to wait, so regardless of the injury on his arm, he immediately went into the city.
The next day, Huang Qi came again.
I came to discuss with Yang Chao how to seize Haizhou City from inside and outside.
Yang Chao took the opportunity to propose that he find a way to enter Haizhou City, and then Li Yingwai opened the city gate to let the Manchurian army enter the city.
Huang Qi was very interested in Yang Chao's proposal, and felt that it was very likely to succeed, and he couldn't wait to go back and report to his master.
However, Huang Qi's return made several senior officers of the captives quite suspicious, and they had to worry, what if Yang Chao was released into the city and did not surrender?
This is a criminal record, the example of Zu Dashou has only passed for more than a year, when Zu Dashou was surrounded by Huang Taiji personally led troops in Jinzhou City, surrounded for half a year, Zu Dashou can only rely on cannibalism to maintain.
In the end, he killed the deputy general He Kegang who insisted on not surrendering, Huang Taiji was naturally convinced of Zu Dashou's surrender, and believed Zu Dashou's suggestion, and let Zu Dashou go back to Ningyuan alone, saying that he wanted to cooperate with the outside and the outside, but Zu Dashou was gone forever.
What if Yang Chao learns Zu Dashou? Under the pretense of helping the captives break the city, they did not surrender after entering the city.
Huang Qi came to Yang Chao's army again and directly told Yang Chao with the example of Zu Dashou, saying that Yang Chao had to come up with a letter of nomination. Otherwise, they would not have allowed Yang Chao to enter the city safely.
As long as the captives do not agree, Yang Chao will be attacked if he wants to enter the city. Instead, it's better to fight the captives directly outside the city.
After thinking about it, Yang Chao immediately came up with a satisfactory vote. He told Huang Qi that he had just heard that the governor of Haizhou had run away from the east, and if the Qing soldiers sent troops to chase him, he would definitely be able to catch up.
The highest official in Haizhou, the magistrate of Haizhou, Huang Qi was very satisfied with this vote, but he didn't know whether the senior officers of the captives were satisfied or not.
Zu Dashou betrayed He Kegang back then, but He Kegang was just Zu Dashou's deputy. Although he also has heavy troops, his status is not as good as that of Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou killed He Kegang and finally regretted it, and the leader of the captives felt that it was understandable, but Haizhou Zhizhou was Yang Chao's boss, and if he betrayed his boss and surrendered, he thought it was unlikely.
The captive chieftain outside Haizhou City, but he has a great background, this time Abatai led the troops into the customs and ordered the general to recruit Ming, and the captive chieftain who came to Haizhou this time was Abatai's deputy.
In the south of Haizhou City, at the foot of Qu Mountain, here is the main camp of the captive soldiers.
Qishan is the Jinping Mountain of later generations. In the Ming Dynasty, Chengqu Mountain, Qu Mountain is not high, and the highest peak is only more than 100 zhang.
The mountain is facing the south gate of Haicheng, so the south gate of Haicheng is also called Qiyang Gate.
The captives set up a large camp at the foot of Qu Mountain, which can block the south of Haizhou, so that the people in the city cannot escape, and seeing that they are not only to surround Yang Chao at the first time, but also to block the south of the city, obviously they do not intend to let anyone in the city go.
And the main camp was set up in the south of the city. Obviously, the main target is probably Haizhou.
At this time, in front of the camp stood the banner of the golden dragon, and a group of officers in gorgeous armor were guarded by a group of elite soldiers in iron helmets and iron armor. He was observing Haizhou City at the camp gate.
One of the generals in gilded armor was talking.
"This Haizhou city is very tall, if you attack the city, I am afraid that it will lose a lot of Dingkou!"
This person is none other than Turg, the deputy general who was captured in the east this time.
The East captives entered the Kou. Abatai was appointed as the general and Turg was the deputy.
Speaking of Turg, his status is extremely high in the Eight Banners, and he is the Minister of the Interior, one of the Eight Ministers.
In order to limit the power of the owners of each banner, Huang Taiji has a minister in charge under each of the eight banners, and all the affairs of the prime minister of each banner are collectively referred to as the eight ministers in charge of flag affairs.
Turg is among the eight ministers, belonging to the white flag, and the official residence is solid.
Gushan is the meaning of 'flag' in Manchu, and Ezhen is the meaning of the chief, and Gushan Ezhen translates it, in fact, it is the flag owner.
However, Huang Taiji weakened the flags, and the solid mountain Ezhen became a kind of military and political official position, and there were a number of solid mountain Ezhen under one flag, which no longer carried the meaning of the flag owner.
In addition to the upper three banners belonging to the emperor, the lower five banners belong to the kings, Beile, Beizi and other nobles, Gushan Ezhen even has to be subordinate to the banner owner in terms of identity, in fact, it is just the officials who are placed by the emperor into the flags.
Therefore, Turg is nominally actually a slave of the owner of the white flag, Duoduo, but in fact, he is an official sent by Huang Taiji to divide Duoduo power under the white flag, so he can actually be regarded as the nail inserted into the white flag by Huang Taiji, and he is Huang Taiji's henchman.
Therefore, this time, Huang Taiji let Abatai be the general who was ordered to enter the army, and let Turg be his deputy, not necessarily without the intention of letting Turge supervise Abatai.
Of course, the reason why Turg was able to become a white flag Gushan Ezhen and be able to serve as Abatai's deputy was definitely not only because he was Huang Taiji's henchman, but because he was very capable, otherwise Huang Taiji would not have been able to use him as a confidant.
Turg's ability is not only reflected in the ability to conquer and fight, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty has just emerged, but also retains the fierce spirit when making a living in the mountains and forests, and there are more people who can conquer and fight, even those nobles who have no worries about food and clothing since childhood dare to go on horses and kill the enemy.
The reason why Turg can be valued by the emperor Taiji is because he is not only brave, but also brave and resourceful, and thoughtful.
This time he came to rescue the hostages, in fact, in addition to robbing Haizhou, the most important thing was to let Abatai fall into his favor. He knew Huang Taiji's thoughts, and not only asked him to supervise Abatai, but also to win over Abatai.
But not everyone agreed with Turg coming to fight Haizhou, and several generals next to him were yin and yang, obviously not wanting to attack the city.
One of them said, "Hmph, Abatai is not coming, what are we going to do?" ”
The other chimed in: "That's right, just let that little cub suffer a little more." ”
Turg said: "It's good to endure hardships, but we can't let it go, it's inconvenient for the general to come when we are ordered, but we can't ignore it." However, we can't let everyone come for nothing, this time we will attack Haizhou, and all the gains will be divided equally, and they will not enter the public school! I believe that the general does not care. ”
For Turge, coming to attack Haizhou to save people is to give Abatai a great favor, and the looted things naturally don't have to be handed over, Abatai has to bear this responsibility for them, and he has to thank him, and at the same time, Huang Taiji will also think that he is able to do things, and he will not take care of him to steal some loot.
As soon as they heard Turg say this, everyone was satisfied, after all, they had heard of the wealth of Haizhou, there was no stupid person here, they all knew that the farther south they went, the more they could grab things, and they were ready to move for a long time, if it weren't for Abatai's pressure, many of them would have wanted to go to Nanjing.
Of course, Abatai's worry is that Lao Cheng is heavy, and he doesn't want to lose too much, although he didn't fight with the Ming army this time, but he also lost a lot of banners, the reason is very simple, disease, after entering the Ming Dynasty, the labor expedition did make many soldiers unadaptable, in fact, it is already demoralized by now, and if you really want to attack the fortified city, the loss will be heavy.
Although he coveted the rich women in Haizhou City, there was also a captive chief who was worried: "But you can't attack it." ”
Turg nodded, he didn't want to attack: "Then it's up to that Ming man Qianzong, if he can really cooperate with the outside and help my army take Haizhou, I won't mind giving him a share!" ”
One of the captive chiefs laughed, "I'm afraid he won't dare to take it." ”
Turg smiled: "Rewarding him is the favor of the general, and it is his duty not to dare to take it!" ”
Everyone laughed.
Turg said: "It depends on whether that Xiaoqian is always an acquaintance, whether he is truly attached." ”
A captive chief next to him nodded: "Then it depends on whether what he said is true." ”
What they are talking about is the news that Yang Chao betrayed them to the governor of Haizhou, if the news is fake, what Yang Chao said is naturally a lie, if the news is true, they really caught the governor of Haizhou, they are willing to believe that Yang Chao is sincere, of course, Yang Chao may also deceive people, and he will not surrender after entering the city.
But for them, it was just a few hundred more Ming troops into the city, although the few who escaped from the Red Banner swore that this Ming army was extremely powerful, but Turg and these people didn't really care.
Although they are in high positions, most of them work hard from the bottom, and they know that they are a little tired.
They suspect that Dunbai is just excusing himself by saying this, and most of Dunbai's subordinates are Yu Ding, and there are not many real soldiers, so they can't beat the Ming army, it doesn't mean that Turg can't fight, you must know that Turg has an army of tens of thousands.
At this time, suddenly from the southeast corner of Haizhou City, dozens of cavalry came.
A group of captives watched as they ran to the front of the camp, and the officer on one of the horses immediately ran over and knelt on the ground with a happy face.
"The master is overjoyed, he really caught the governor of Haizhou!"
This person is none other than Huang Qi.
Turge's face was also happy: "Huang Qi, you did a good job!" When you go back, Ben will be the master and reward you with thirty tints! ”
Huang Qi hurriedly kowtowed: "It's all within the slave's business, and I don't dare to reward the master." ”
Turg shook his head: "You Han Nu don't have the truth in your mouth, you obviously want it but you don't want it." If you really don't want it, you won't be rewarded. ”
Huang Qi hurriedly smiled: "The slave should die, he said the wrong thing, the master's reward is grace, and the slave doesn't dare not want it!" ”
Turge laughed: "Okay, where are you going to the Ming army, tell the general manager that he will be allowed to enter the city to join the outside." If you play tricks, you will die! ”
Huang Qi is a close confidant of Turge, although he is a little timid, but he has a good brain, so he was persuaded to surrender to Yang Chao this time.
Huang Qi originally thought it was a chore, but now that it was about to be done, it was really a great achievement, so he was full of motivation, regardless of the hard work, and immediately ran to find Yang Chao. (To be continued).
