When Zhang Fuzhen, the governor of Xuanda, heard the news, he was also furious, who are these people under Zhang Guowei? Then Wang Dou himself still plans to vigorously woo him, and your subordinates will rob him? Not to mention that you are still an officer and soldier. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He immediately rushed to Xuanfu Town from Yanghe to investigate the matter with great fanfare, and the final result was that all the rebels were beheaded, and the thousand general beheaded, although he was Zhang Guowei's nephew. Zhang Guowei did not know about this matter, but his majesty was not strict, and he was fined for three years to compensate for the loss of Tunpu.
Governor Ji pulled back a game, his son-in-law was not there, and he didn't plan to chase and fight hard to appease everyone in the Shunxiang army, so that the matter would be over.
Zhang Junmen lost face in this matter, his support for Zhang Guowei was greatly reduced, and he was a little disheartened that he had done nothing to become governor.
However, in private, everyone still feels that the matter has not completely passed, Wang Dou is leading the army outside, who knows how he will react when he returns?
Everyone knows that Wang Dou is not only benevolent in governing the people, but also protecting his shortcomings and ruthless, and this matter is not so easy to fall down.
Therefore, when Guo Yingxian mentioned this matter, all the generals were in schadenfreude, and they did not have a good impression of Zhang Guowei, but the marshal was dedicated to training troops and maintaining neutrality in the town.
Seeing that everyone was in schadenfreude, Yang Guozhu coughed and said: "Okay, these things are not in our hands, we just need to train military horses and kill thieves for the country." ”
He is ambitious, with this army of 15,000, the world has a lot to do.
……
"General Wang has been knighted?"
At this time, Cao Bianjiao, the chief military officer of the Eastern Association who was in Zunhua and Yutian, and Wang Tingchen, the former commander-in-chief of the Tun Guard, also quickly got the news.
After the war in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, both of them were promoted to the right governor, and they also privately shared a large number of mules, horses, and silver. After the war, Cao Bianjiao stayed in Tunzunhua, and Wang Tingchen was stationed in Yutian. The two followed the example of the Shunxiang Army, and each organized and trained a battalion of new troops, and the specific methods were similar to Yang Guozhu.
Knowing that Wang Dou was crowned uncle, the two had mixed feelings. Zunhua and Yutian were not far away, and the two quickly found an opportunity to get together, and they both sighed. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, the guerrilla general of that year, now has the best official residence. I became a nobleman.
However, the two of them are good friends with Wang Dou, although they are complicated, they are still happy for Wang Dou.
"Wang Dou is uncle?"
Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong Town, Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Baoding, and the general soldiers of Liaodong Town have received the news. Everyone doesn't know what it's like. Feng Bo. In the Ming Dynasty, it was relatively easy for military generals to be promoted to the right governor, the left governor, and the best official residence, but how easy is it to be crowned as a prince?
A shallow layer of membrane is like a moat. Keeping Daming out of the way.
……
March of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen. Shengjing, Chongzheng Palace.
After the capture of Shenyang by the Later Jin, the palace was built in the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty. Roughly centered on the Chongzheng Palace, from the Daqing Gate to the Qingning Palace as the central axis. The palace is divided into three roads: east, middle, and west.
Chongzheng Hall is the place where Huang Taiji usually deals with court affairs, with Feilong Pavilion, Xiangfeng Pavilion, Shishan Zhai, Xiezhong Zhai, Rihua Building and other buildings. Before the news of Wang Dou Fengbo arrived, he was convening the palaces of many ministers of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army to discuss the affairs of Jinzhou.
At this time, the Qing State, after the two conquests of Korea and the conclusion of the "alliance of monarchs and ministers", the Korean affairs have been decided, plus the submission of the Mongolian tribes in the west, and the unification of the Zahu tribes in the north, can focus on the Ming Dynasty in the south, for the ambitious Huang Taiji, the capture of Jinzhou is only the first step in the south.
He believes that if he wants to occupy western Liaoning and seize Shanhaiguan, the first step is to break through the defense line of Guanningjin and Jinzhou, and the breakthrough point is in Jinzhou, the choke point. In order to achieve this strategy, he took several steps, first, stationed troops in Yizhou, and solved the logistics and grain problems. Secondly, imitate the technique of the Daling River and besiege Jinzhou, thinking that it was used to encircle the point and send reinforcements. …,
The importance of Jinzhou, he can see it, and of course the Ming court can also see it, and he will definitely send heavy troops to help, which is in the heart of Emperor Taiji. The Ming army worked far away, the military horses were tired, and the Qing soldiers waited for work, and there were many wildernesses around Jinzhou, and the Eight Banners cavalry had an advantage and could take the opportunity to annihilate the Ming army.
In order to achieve this purpose, as early as the twelfth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji ordered Dolgon, the prince of Heshuorui, to build a road from the Liaohe River to Jinzhou, and the following year, the road was completed, and Dolgon began to Tuntian Yizhou, gradually surrounding Jinzhou. At the beginning, the siege of Jinzhou was not effective, and the emperor Taiji was furious, and demoted Dolgon to the king of the county, and took Zilharang as the king.
After the arrival of Zilharang, camps were set up along all sides of Jinzhou City, long trenches were dug, and by last month, Jinzhou's solidarity had been cut off, and the initial strategy was successful. The Qing court has been retribution, and the Ming court has discussed heavy military assistance, and if it can eliminate all the Ming reinforcements under the city, it can achieve all strategies.
Of course, the strategy of Huang Taiji Jinzhou is not agreed by all the ministers of the Eight Banners, and some of the important ministers of Manchu and Mongolia said: "Those places in western Liaoxi are all heavy cities and military forts, and in addition to the poor military households on the side, there is wasteland, and there are many wastelands in the Qing Dynasty. ”
Among these people, there are almost all the Mongolian banner owners of the Eight Banners, who are the least interested in attacking the fortified city, and plundering more people and wealth is their hobby, and even the banner owners of the two yellow banners, Bai Yintu and Ah Shan, also have many objections.
At this time, the main hall was discussed, and some Manmeng banner lords repeated the old words, but many Hanchen thought that Huang Taiji was far-sighted and supported the siege strategy of Jinzhou.
At this time, there are Zhang Cunren, Zu Kefa, Duan Xuekong, Sheng Zhong and others in the palace, they are all Han generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after the Battle of Daling River, and Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guangyuan and others, they are all the original Ming military generals, and there are no civil officials to surrender to the Qing Dynasty at this time.
After their surrender, they were courteous, and they were all grateful to Huang Taiji, and they continued to make suggestions.
At this time, Zhang Cunren, the former deputy chief of the Ming Dynasty, came out of the ranks, and he said: "Looking at today's situation, the emperor's plan to besiege Jinzhou is really perfect. However, it is easy to gain from plundering land, and it is difficult to besiege the city, and it must be protracted, and I hope that the emperor will encourage the spirit of the three armies and adhere to the siege policy, which is far from a year old, and it is only a few months, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. I wish that the emperor would be based on the tun species, and the Mongolian would be a spy plan, this strategy to attack the heart, and the art of winning people and land. ”
Sheng Zhong, who participated in politics, also came out of the ranks, agreed with Zhang Cunren's opinions, and at the same time put forward his own suggestions, while protracted siege, it could be supplemented by a strategy to attack the heart, so that the defenders of Jinzhou and Songshan cities would be shaken, and the internal should be cleared.
Seeing that Han Chen spoke one after another, the emperor nodded willingly, and inlaid the yellow flag Gushan Ezhen Baiyintu's brother. Gong Adai, who was the general of the auxiliary country at the time, was dissatisfied that these slaves with three surnames were valued by the emperor. He fell and trembled in front of his own people.
He stepped out of the ranks, pointed at Zhang Cunren and sneered: "You Southern Barbarian, do you know what it means to fight?" My Manchurian warriors can fight well, do you know not as much as you? If you wait so much. Why did you take refuge in me? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall changed, and Huang Taiji frowned dissatisfiedly.
Zhang Cunren did not move his face and said: "Good birds choose trees to perch on, precisely because of the Southern Dynasty. The unconspiracy of the text and the lack of courage of the martial arts, so I will abandon the darkness and serve the Qing Dynasty. ”
He kowtowed to Huang Taiji: "Weichen is a public heart, except for the emperor, I am not afraid of anything, and any opinions must be played truthfully." ”
Sheng Zhong, who participated in politics, also said: "I am a warrior of the Qing Dynasty, attacking the city and destroying the enemy." Capture the flag. There is no shortage of people. However, for the emperor to make suggestions and plans, but we are the director. ”
Huang Taiji was high on the dragon chair, coldly watching the battle below, compared to two years ago, he was a lot fatter.
In fact, he has been in poor health recently. I didn't eat much, and then I got fat all the way. Posterity analysis. Huang Taiji may be an endocrine disorder, like some fat people. Even drinking water will make you fat. …,
At this time, he waved his hand: "Jinzhou's strategy, I am determined by myself, you need to do your best to plan the country." In the future, the ministers and workers shall no longer dispute this matter, and those who violate it will be severely punished. ”
Seeing that Huang Taiji set the tone, all the ministers in the palace, whether Manchurian, Mongolian or Han, knelt down and kowtowed: "Slaves and others obey the order." ”
At this time, although the ministers of the Qing State were infighting, they were generally united, and there were not too many views on the door, which was the advantage of the emerging countries.
After the monarch and the ministers are single-minded, the next thing is to concentrate on the affairs of Jinzhou.
After discussing some affairs on the front line, Huang Taiji was about to retreat from the court, and suddenly he got the news: "Wang Dou has been crowned?" ”
All the ministers in the palace, whether they are full of Meng and Han, are in an uproar.
Wang Dou, the people of the Qing Kingdom, etc., all hated him deeply, because of Wang Dou, the Qing State swept south a few years ago and suffered heavy losses. Not counting those miscellaneous followers, there were more than 10,000 casualties in the Mengqi Banner alone, and since the rise of Manchuria in Wanli years, the losses have never been so great.
Although it was not without gains, in the war in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers took away 250,000 people from the Guannei, and countless silver and two treasures were counted, which made up for the loss of Dingkou in each banner, and the remaining population also greatly enriched the Dingkou manpower urgently needed by the Qing State.
Overall, after this battle, the combat strength of the Manchurian and Mongolian banners decreased a lot, because many veterans with rich combat experience in the banners died, and the wounded could not fight again. Although the banner owners vigorously promoted new warriors, in just a few years, it was not so easy to replenish the soldiers with rich combat experience.
Because of the establishment of the Eight Banners Han Army and the vigorous development of firearms, the combat power of the Qing Dynasty was the same as usual, or slightly increased, but this rise was what many Manchu and Mongolian banner owners did not want to see, and the rise of the Han Chen power also made the banner owners vigilant.
Wang Dou's news came from the Qing spy agency "Barbarian City", the Qing State has always been pervasive, carefully or pretending to be a civilian person, or holding a military position in the Ming Dynasty, or spending a lot of money to win over important officials everywhere, except for the East Road of Xuanfu Town, the details of the key points in the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of the Qing State, it is as transparent.
"Barbarian City" even revealed the news that Emperor Chongzhen had sent a message to Yang Sichang, so that Wang Dou's class teacher would help Jin.
Huang Taiji sneered: "Promote the general soldier, give the army number and battalion number, seal the uncle, such a heavy reward, that Wang Dou is really the treasure in the heart of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, you wait to tell me, will Yang Sichang release people?" ”
The ministers in the palace looked at each other, they were not roundworms in Yang Sichang's stomach, how did they know if Yang Sichang would let them go?
Or spare Belle Abatai: "I heard that Yang Sichang is seriously ill, and the southern humanities and martial arts, and the martial arts are fighting fiercely. According to the view of the slaves, in order to avoid the generals from fighting, the superintendent Yang Sichang will definitely release people. ”
Huang Taiji snorted: "The barbarian city is detailed, many Ming generals follow Wang Dou to train the army, such as Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Cao Bianjiao and others, there are many firearms in the camp, if they come to help, plus Wang Dou, how can I deal with it?" ”
