Songshan, the camp of the Qing army.

Huang Taiji is convening a group of ministers in the big tent, in addition to Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Su Haoge, Prince Yu Duoduo, Wuying County King Azige, Rao Yu Belle Abatai and other clan princes, there are also Dahai, Ganglin, Xifu, Sony and other Manchu ministers, as well as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Li Yongfang, Tong Yang, Zhang Cunren and other ministers.

Huang Taiji's face didn't look very good.

Although the Qing army won a complete victory, Hong Chengchou in Songshan City and Zu Dashou in Jinzhou City still resisted stubbornly, and Songshan City and Jinzhou City were not defeated for a day, and this protracted decisive battle could not be ended in one day, and hundreds of thousands of grain and grass were consumed every day, which was a heavy burden for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was already making a grain shortage.

Huang Taiji asked the scholar Ganglin, "Has the edict written by me in my own handwriting entered Songshan City?" ”

Ganglin replied: "I already shot in yesterday." ”

Huang Taiji asked, "Does Hong Chengchou have a response?" ”

Ganglin said: "Yes, yes, but ......"

Huang Taiji interrupted Ganglin impatiently: "Where is the letter?" ”

Ganglin had no choice but to take out a letter from his sleeve, raise his hands above the top and say, "The letter is here." ”

Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Read." ”

Ganglin is embarrassed: "This ......"

Huang Taiji said again: "Read! ”

Ganglin gritted his teeth, unfolded the book and said: "The Ming Shangguo Jiliao Governor, the military department Shangshu and the left capital Yushi Hong Chengchou sent a letter to the chief of Jiannu: Your ancestors of Jiannu are just a group of wild people who drink blood in my Ming frontier, and it is I who taught them in the Ming Dynasty, so that they understand etiquette, understand shame, and understand the way of grain cultivation and fishing and hunting, but you barbarians not only do not think about repaying the favor, but instead raise troops to attack my Ming, seize my city, and kill my people......"

"How can it be!" Dolgon came out of class to interrupt Ganglindao, "Hong Chengchou, this guy is disrespectful, daring to insult our Jurchen ancestors like this, it is simply innocent!" When Songshan is defeated and this thief is captured, his younger brother will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces. ”

"Alas......" Huang Taiji did not have a trace of anger on his face, and said with a long sigh and emotion, "The Ming Kingdom has been decayed, but Hong Chengchou is still willing to die for her, this Hong Chengchou is a loyal minister!" Spread my will, after the city is broken, Hong Chengchou will be captured alive, and after taking it, he will be escorted to my big tent, and I will personally send it down. ”

Prince Su Haoge was puzzled: "Huang Ama, Hong Chengchou insulted my Jurchen ancestor with his words, why didn't he kill him?" ”

"You don't understand." Huang Taiji shook his head, looked at Hauge with some disappointment, and said, "This is the way to govern the country." ”

Hauge was speechless.

Haoge really didn't understand Huang Taiji's good intentions, how did he know that Huang Taiji wanted to set an example for all Ming officials in the Central Plains by recruiting Hong Chengchou, and flaunt the good reputation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as a corporal and a thirsty for talent.

"Your Majesty!" The yellow flag fierce general Ao Bai suddenly broke into the tent, knelt down on one knee and played, "Shengjing urgently." ”

"Sheng Jing?" Huang Taiji's heart was shocked, he stood up suddenly, and shouted, "Speak quickly." ”

Ao Bai said solemnly: "The messenger said that Concubine Chen is critically ill, so let the emperor return to Shengjing as soon as possible." ”

"What? Concubine Chen......"

Huang Taiji was already in poor health, and he had been bleeding from his nose before this expedition, and now he suddenly heard that his favorite concubine Chen was critically ill, and he actually fainted in front of him in front of him.

When the imperial doctor arrived, he took medicine and relaxed his chest, and Huang Taiji finally woke up.

The first thing Huang Taiji said when he woke up was: "Quick, hurry up and give me a ride, I will rush back to Shengjing immediately." ”

Dolgon said with some worry: "Your Majesty, you are so sick, how can you hurry?" ”

"I can't care about that much." Huang Taiji said and suddenly burst into tears, "If it weren't for Concubine Chen's illness to the point of no return, the queen would not have reported to me in an urgent manner of six hundred miles, I would have rushed back to Shengjing to see Concubine Chen for the last time anyway, fourteenth brother, I will hand over the war in Songshan to you, and I will let two thousand iron horsemen stay behind to assist in the battle." ”

Dolgon hurriedly said: "How can this be done, these two thousand iron horsemen are the emperor's own soldiers." ”

"These two thousand iron cavalry staying by my side will not be of much use, but if they stay in Songshan, they will come in handy, and it will not work without this elite iron cavalry to attack the city and plunder the land." Huang Taiji said to Ao Bai again, "Ao Bai, go and gather the guards and return to Beijing." ”

"Wow."

Ao Bai agreed and hurried away.

Shengjing.

Wang Pu has been hiding in a private house with fifty families for a whole afternoon, in order not to leak the news, Wang Pu ordered the old and young of this Jiannu to be killed, and the situation is really forced to make Wang Pu's heart sinister.

Time passed in an unbearable wait, and it finally got dark.

With the closure of the city gate, the pedestrians on the street gradually became fewer, and the originally lively and prosperous Shengjing City gradually became deserted, God still helped, the thin clouds covered the stars and moon in the sky, and the street could not see the five fingers, and it was a month of dark wind and high murderous night! In the middle of the night, the entire Shengjing City had completely fallen asleep, and Wang Pu led fifty family members to quietly find out of the house, and under the guidance of Zhen Youcai, they rushed to the south gate.

The south gate was quiet, only the insects chirping, which made people annoyed.

Two torches are obliquely inserted on the city tower, under the dim firelight, two Jiannu are bored standing in the city gate, due to the hot weather, both of them have taken off their robes, only put on a short coat, there is a team of Jiannu on the city tower just walked by, holding torches to the distance, leaning on the inner side of the city gate The gatehouse light is still on, it seems that the gatekeeper has not slept lazy.

Scarface shrunk his whole body against the wall on the side of the street, squirming slowly forward like a snake, as the distance narrowed, Jiannu's figure gradually became clear, one of Jiannu inadvertently turned around and seemed to find something, just about to open his mouth to shout, a dart had already penetrated his throat, Jiannu hissed and inhaled, but never made a sound.

With a flash of cold light, another dart flew out of Scarface's hand and shot through the throat of the other Kennu.

The two slaves fell to the ground suddenly, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground alarmed the general manager of the slave in the gatehouse, and when he came out to check what was going on, a vigorous black shadow had flashed out from behind the gatehouse like a raccoon cat, and the cold light flashed, and the throat of the slave had been cut open, and the hot blood splashed out like a fountain, marking how far away it was three feet.

Scarface effortlessly solved the Jiannu on duty and the total two soldiers, fifty family members swarmed up, and killed the other dozen or so Jian slaves sleeping in the gatehouse, and the city gate easily fell into the hands of the Ming army, Wang Pu ordered the two family members to change into the clothes of the Jiannu and still stay in place, twenty family members hid in the gatehouse to prevent trouble, and the remaining 20 family members passed through the urn city to open the city gate.

Outside the city.

As early as half an hour ago, the bearded man had led more than a thousand families to quietly touch the outside of the city gate, and when he was waiting for the fire, a trace of fire suddenly appeared in the crack of the city gate of the black hole in front of him, and then a figure leaned out of the crack in the door, pinched his throat and learned two nighthawk calls, and the bearded man quickly responded to two nighthawk calls.

The gates, which had only been opened by one slit, suddenly opened completely.

The bearded man raised his saber and led forward, and more than a thousand horsemen were like a group of terrifying knights from hell, quietly slaughtering into Shengjing City, because the hooves of the war horses were wrapped in cotton cloth, and the horse's mouth had been covered, and the Jiannu patrol team that had patrolled to the distance did not find anything strange here, and at this time Shengjing City was still immersed in sleep, unaware that the disaster had come.

Shengjing City is square after the expansion of Huang Taiji, the circumference is about eight miles, the scale is not very large, the pattern in the city is the standard "well" shape, the vertical and horizontal two main streets divide the city into nine squares, the square in the middle of the north is the imperial palace, the two squares on the left and right of the imperial palace are the residences of the Manchu princes Baylors, and the remaining six squares are the residential areas of ordinary Manchu nobles.

Wang Pu's goal was first to deal with the Jiannu stationed in the two military camps, then the imperial palace, and finally the entire city.

More than 1,000 families entered the city from the left south gate, the soldiers were divided into two roads, the bearded man and the scarface each led 400 families along the two vertical streets of the north and south to the palace in the north of the city to kill, from the city to the Daqing Gate only five or six hundred meters away, urging the horse to gallop in less than a moment to arrive, the two Jiannu sentry guarding outside the barracks had just found the abnormality, and the black cavalry had already killed in front of them.
