In the previous article, Fan Wencheng proposed a strategy of killing four birds with one stone to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji thought so deeply and immediately started the arrangement.

Even if you make a detour to enter the customs, you must be careful to watch out for Xiong Tingbi who is guarding Shanhaiguan and Wenlong who is stationed on Phi Island.

If Huang Taiji hated and hated Xiong Tingbi, then he was extremely disgusted with Wenlong. This Wenlong said that he could fight, compared with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, it was far behind, but if he said that he couldn't fight, every time he fought, you still couldn't take advantage of him. Wen Long's strategy towards the Jurchens has always been to fight if you can, and run away if you can't fight, you can't always send troops there to defend against him, after all, the Jurchens have limited troops, and as soon as your main force withdraws, he will bring people to you and give you a blind meal.

Don't say that Huang Taiji, his father Nurhachi wanted Wenlong to be destroyed, but people are hiding on the island, your cavalry is powerful, but when you get to the sea, you can't use any strength. You can't beat him, if you don't beat him, he will beat you, so Huang Taiji gave Wenlong a very pertinent evaluation - toad, don't bite and disgust people.

In order to prevent these two sides from disturbing after entering the customs, Huang Taiji made careful arrangements. The Jurchens are divided into eight banners, among which Huang Taiji left his own yellow flag, handed over to the eldest son Haoge to lead, and left two fierce generals to assist, one is Sony, one is Aobai, of which Aobai specially led the ten Niu Lu in the yellow flag, responsible for patrolling in the rear, if you find Wenlong's soldiers and horses, immediately rush to strangle. Da Beile Daishan led the twelve Niu Lu of the Zhenghong Banner to stay, as the commander-in-chief of the stay, and was specifically responsible for keeping an eye on the Shanhaiguan side, if Xiong Tingbi had action, he would try his best to annihilate it, and let Fan Wencheng stay to help make suggestions. The yellow flag Dolgon, the yellow flag Duoduo, and the red flag Azig led the headquarters of the people, all of whom stayed behind and obeyed Dai Shan's command.

This is equivalent to leaving four centaurs at half-mast.

Those who accompanied Huang Taiji to Mongolia had their own Zhenghuang Banner, Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan Banner, Amin's Blue Banner, and other horses of Zhenghongqi, and the leader of Zhenghongqi was Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo.

The Jurchens had the Eight Banners of Manchu, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, but at that time, there were none, and in history, this was not until seven years after Tiancong.

Huang Taiji now, all the family background is these eight banners and 60,000 horses, but each is strong and can be ten. He took the two great beylers, plus Yuetuo, and led less than 30,000 horses to Mongolia.

Along the way, Huang Taiji adopted the strategy explained by Fan Wencheng and summoned all Mongolian ministries to come to meet the division and enter the customs to rob. It can be said that if there is no Mongolian help, just relying on his own people, how much can he snatch back, and finally go out for a trip, how much can he have to do a big job.

A few days later, the soldiers and horses came to the Liao River, and the Mongolian tribes sent troops one after another, the most were three or five thousand, and the few were one thousand eight hundred, and everyone understood that if they did not come, they would not give Tiancong Khan face, and the consequences would be very serious. However, there is still one family that did not come, and this is the Chahar Ministry.

The Chahar Department and the Jurchens were at odds with each other, mainly because after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he led his troops to unite with other Mongolian tribes and repaired the Chahar Department and robbed a lot of things. After this battle, Huang Taiji established his prestige in Mongolia further, but Chahar completely broke with the Jurchens.

Chahar didn't come, but all the other departments came, and the total number of troops added up to 60,000 or 70,000. Therefore, Huang Taiji immediately discussed with the various ministries whether to attack Chahar first, or immediately enter the customs and rob.

The Mongolian tribes either married the Jurchens or were subdued by the Jurchens, of course, with the opinion of the Emperor Taijima, it was clearly said, Tiancong Khan, you look at it yourself, where you say to fight, we will follow you to fight.

If outsiders did not put forward an opinion, their own family members did give an opinion at that time. Mang Gurtai and Amin resolutely said that they wanted to attack the Chahar Department, as for entering the customs and robbing, forget it, "labor and troops are attacking from afar", "food and horses are tired", "outnumbered", "fear of no return" and other reasons, all of which have been put forward.

Directly joining forces to enter the customs and rob it, that is the set goal that the army said before it set off, and you put forward different opinions at this time, isn't this the platform for demolishing the Great Khan.

Huang Taiji was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't have a seizure, but asked others, what should they do? At this time, Yue Tuo was the first to stand up, he saw what Huang Taiji meant, this was to enter the customs first and rob it, and not move Chahar for the time being, so he resolutely stated that he would take advantage of this season to enter the customs first and grab a vote.

Why rush into the customs in winter, it's quite cold, and it's not suitable for war. In fact, although winter is not very suitable for war, it is suitable for robbery. Because by this time, the autumn harvest has been completed, and the family has surplus grain, which is a good season for grabbing. The weather is cold, but compared to the Northeast, it is still relatively warm. In addition, after autumn, the horse is fatter, people say that the autumn is high and the horse is fat, which is not wrong, into the winter, the horse has not lost fat, just conducive to riding a horse to fight.

After Yue Tuo proposed to be in favor of entering the customs and robbing, Zilharang, one of the four small Baylors, also stood up and expressed his support for Yue Tuo. Clear-eyed people know that supporting Yue Tuo's opinion on entering the customs and robbing is actually supporting Huang Taiji. Yue Tuo's speech is on behalf of Dai Shan, Zilharang is Dolgon's own brother, one of the four little beelers, and the expression cannot be used as air, so that the internal formation of two to two, and finally need Huang Taiji to make a decision. Huang Taiji immediately decided, "Take a detour to enter the customs!" ”

Don't look at it as just an ordinary military decision, but it had a far-reaching impact within the Jurchens at that time, which was a huge time for Huang Taiji in the centralization of military and political power. At the same time, you can also see who is on your side.

Crossing the Liao River, Huang Taiji led the army to Datong, the Mongols and Jurchens were cavalry, and the so-called came and went like the wind. Some of the defenders of Datong border town were transferred to Shanxi to suppress bandits, and the rest were not too many, and the enemy came suddenly, and when they reacted, the enemy army had already killed the city. The Ming army was caught off guard, and the pass was conquered by the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces in one fell swoop, and they entered the Great Wall and attacked Datong.

Datong Mansion is an important town on the nine sides, the city defense is no less than Chengdu, the Jurchens and the Mongols are playing horses, attacking the city is not a strong point, naturally will not carry the ladder to attack Datong City. Just swept the surrounding towns and villages, they came suddenly, it was faster than the speed of the Liukou, I don't know how many times faster, the people in the township didn't have time to dodge, they were all wrapped dumplings. All the valuable things in the house, as well as the food, were looted, and even the people were taken away.

Jurchen and Mongolia dispatched so many people, just such a little gain, it is definitely not satisfied, Huang Taiji continued to lead the army forward, the place passed, to grab a place, is unceremonious, like the wind and clouds, see nothing. hit Shuozhou in one go, everything outside Shuozhou City was robbed, and the Shuozhou Zhizhou and the garrisons in the city did not dare to head at all.

Everything outside Shuozhou City was basically robbed, there were no people and animals, but there was one thing that was quite puzzling, that is, a warehouse of a cargo store passed by the Manchurian cavalry, although there was no goods left, no one was robbed at that time. This goods store is called Fan Ji Goods Company. This is a trivial matter, no one pays attention to it, the soldiers are in short supply, and it is too late to flee for their lives, who can notice this.

The Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces grabbed a circle around Shuozhou, and then continued southward to attack Xinzhou. Their arrival was undoubtedly a disaster for the people of the Ming Dynasty, but invisibly, it saved a person. The one who was rescued was another big leader in the rogues - Wang Ziyong.

Wang Ziyong took the rogue into Shanxi, and along the way, he also scraped the ground, where he went, where he grabbed it. It's a pity that their speed of action is really a bit slow, so many people are all on foot, and the people along the way, but if there is surplus food at home, they will immediately flee first when they hear the wind. In Shanxi, there is also a fierce general, this benevolent brother is called Wujia Province, but Jiang Jie Baoju was the year when he followed Yue Su to suppress bandits, and was later promoted to Shanxi Divisional General. After all these years of training, plus he is a member of the Yue Party, he has been promoted to the deputy general of Shanxi. This time, the rogue came, and the governor Liu Ce ordered Wujia Province to go and exterminate it. Wujia Province is very good at fighting, leading 10,000 horses, beating more than 100,000 Liukou with their heads and running away, and finally the king himself took a thousand people to hide in the mountains.

Wujia Province led the soldiers and horses, surrounded the mountains and suppressed bandits, ready to annihilate Wang Ziyong in one fell swoop, just the Manchurian cavalry came, if it passed Xinzhou, it was Taiyuan, Liu Ce was shocked, and hurriedly transferred Wujia Province back to defend the city.

Wujia Province led the army, rushed back non-stop, and did not rest in Taiyuan for two days, the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry robbed Xinzhou and came to Taiyuan. Standing on the city, Wujia Province witnessed the enemy looting in the surrounding towns, swaggering past under the city, as if no one was in a place, and his heart was furious, and he planned to go out of the city to give the enemy a dismount.

Liu Ce was also in the city, and when he heard that Wu Jiaxing said that he was going to open the city to attack, he was startled and hurriedly stopped him. Liu Ce suppressed bandits back then, missed the fighter plane, and almost lost his official position, but later Yue Su let him go, so that he could continue to work until now, it can be said that he is now a member of the Yue Party. Everyone is their own people, it's so dangerous outside, don't go, the people outside the city have already escaped a lot, and there are not many left, so don't take that risk.

But Wujia Province is also a straight intestine, seeing the enemy spreading wild under the city, where can he endure it. So, he said that he would only take a thousand cavalry out of the city, take the enemy by surprise, give them a dismount, and then withdraw. In case of danger, the city does not need to send troops to rescue, and the general will never affect Taiyuan City.

Seeing that Wu Jiaxing was so persistent, Liu Ce was embarrassed, Wu Jiaxing was his, what if there was a mistake? Anyway, I still expect him to exterminate the rogues. But if it's not allowed, people will be enthusiastic, but they will seem to be timid and afraid.

I'm really sleepy tonight, if there is anything bad about the writing, please take care of one or two.
