Chapter 21 The Onslaught on Taiyuan
Zhang Biwu naturally won't agree, even if he is saddled with the name of a rebel, no matter how much Yongli Junchen scolds, there is no way to crusade!
He had to go to the end, occupy Shanxi first, and let himself own the land of Shanxi and Henan provinces, which could somewhat contain the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Zhang Biwu really can't figure it out, it is said that the Qing army should keep Shanxi instead of seizing the land of Liangguang! In this regard, what good can the Qing army have? What was Dolgon's purpose?
At this time, Zhang Biwu will face a crisis, because those speculators who saw the Datong Jiang Jiu incident and followed the incident all showed their true colors.
used to be a scout, but now it is Zhang Biwu's personal soldiers who know about this matter, the opportunists are going to hold a rebellion, and they are ready to be unfavorable to Zhang Biwu.
Lian Tong hesitated, because he wanted that if these people could succeed, it would be a heavy blow to Zhang Biwu, and maybe he would be able to take revenge! But in this way, the entire anti-Qing situation will change greatly, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains will become a reality! Tell Zhang Biwu?
But the death of his family is related to Zhang Biwu, how can you let Lian Tong say it? Isn't this helping Zhang Biwu?
If you really get the other party ready, it will be miserable! Lian Tong looked at Zhang Biwu, who was still thinking about how to break through Taiyuan City. He looked at the siege map and thought hard, but he still couldn't come up with a good way.
Lian Tong wanted to open his mouth again and again to speak, but he seemed to have something choked in his throat and couldn't speak!
Zhang Biwu raised his head and glanced at Lian Tong, and felt that Lian Tong had something to say, so he asked, "Is there something wrong?" The others looked at Lian Tong vigilantly, because Lian Tong said that he wanted to kill Zhang Biwu.
Lian Tong sighed. "No," he said. Nothing! Zhang Biwu just smiled. said: "Lian Tong, tell me if you have anything!" If I can do it, I'll do it for you! All right! I have to make a battle plan now, I have to think about how to break through Taiyuan City! ”
Zhang Biwu ignored Lian Tong and devoted himself to studying the war. Lian Tong glanced at Zhang Biwu, and he couldn't figure out what he was sighing for, so he left.
"Lian Tong! Come! My family brought me something delicious! I'll give you some to eat! "A person who is familiar with Lian Tong immediately gave Lian Tong some of the property obtained in his hometown.
Lian Tong looked at him. A wave of sadness welled up in my heart. He felt the warmth of Ejiao in Zhang Biwu's army, and even Zhang Biwu never treated him badly because of the difference in identity, on the contrary, he was extremely friendly to him, like a good friend, although it can be because of guilt, it is also very rare.
Looking back at so many people, which of them doesn't regard Lian Tong as a good brother and good friend? If something terrible happens, they will all die! In this way, how can you let your conscience be reassured?
Lian Tong walked on the road, although he looked quite normal. Everyone greeted him when they saw him, but Lian Tong's heart always felt that he was panicked. I always feel sorry for these people. He was like a kid who had done something wrong, and he wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into.
Lian Tong was annoyed, and an old man saw Lian Tong sitting alone, and seemed to be preoccupied. The leader of the gang sat down beside him and handed Lian Tong a rice ball, saying, "I just soaked it in juice, it's very good!" Eat and see! But beware of hot hands! ”
Lian Tong took it and ate it, it was delicious, it had the taste of what my mother had made, it was really delicious! It's a pity that my mother is not here! "It's delicious!" Lian Tong sighed heartily.
The leader of the gang laughed and said, "Eat more if it's delicious!" Anyway, our lord is good, it's the same for everyone! It's hard to find a lord like this! It's like being part of a big family! ”
Lian Tong was shocked when he heard this, he remembered a lot of past events, this friendship is really hard to let go, here is like a big family, very happy and happy, happy.
In this big family, Lian Tong felt extremely warm, he really didn't want to leave, he didn't want to leave from this environment.
The gang leader said again: "Actually, the lord is also very difficult! He has a lot to do in this position, things he doesn't want to do but he has to do! For example, in order to continue to resist the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, didn't the lord also have to send his son to Li Zicheng as a hostage? He was very miserable and uncomfortable, but even so, what could he do? ”
Speaking of which, Lian Tongneng understands that Zhang Biwu even has to take out his own son and only son as a hostage, he really has too much helplessness in this high position!
Zhang Biwu loves his son deeply, this is a thing that everyone can see, how much pain and suffering he should have to endure by sacrificing his son as a hostage!
Lian Tong thought of the rise of the enclosure movement as a matter of course, even if Zhang Biwu didn't push it, this fire would still be ignited! How can Zhang Biwu be blamed? If you want to blame it, blame the Manchu Tartars!
The leader of the gang said: "When the lord is dedicated to the public, he has done a big bad thing because of his official business, and no one in the world will say that he is not, because he knows that he is doing it for official business!" And what is there to blame? ”
How timely this sentence of the gang leader came in! Just when Lian Tong wanted to open, you said this! Promptly!
Lian Tong stood up and said, "Yes! The world is for the public! As long as you do something for the public, even if it is a bad thing, the world will not blame you! Because you know that you are for the public! Well, I'll go to the lord now! ”
What Lian Tong thought in his heart was: "My enemy is only Tartar!" Right! Only Tartars! Because their enclosure movement has been there before, and it is only a matter of time before my hometown is poisoned by the enclosure movement! I will do my best to help the lord to drive the tartars out of the city! ”
Lian Tong thought of this, and he didn't know how excited he was. Lian Tong went straight into Zhang Biwu's account, Zhang Biwu looked at him and asked, "Oh! Lian Tong, are you here? What's the matter? ”
Lian Tong said honestly: "Lord, I have found out the latest news - Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, Li Qisheng, Feng Ru Eun, including Gao Ding and others are plotting a rebellion!" They want to serve the king of Han to seize the military power of the lord! If they don't succeed, they will surrender to the Manchus together! ”
"Ha Lu Ha!" Zhang Biwu laughed out loud and said, "Okay! Yay! He looked at Lian Tong. Said: "Lian Tong." You're really loyal to me! You are loyal to drive away the Tartars for our Han people! You can rest assured! Like Yu Yin and others. I'm looking at them, can I not destroy them all? I'm just waiting to see if I can lure the thief army of Taiyuan out of the city! As long as I lure them out of the city, I will be able to conquer Taiyuan!" ”
Of course, the idea is like this, Zhang Biwu also has to do a good job of thinking about it, that is, he can't lure Yu Yin and others out of the city, so Zhang Biwu can only storm Taiyuan City!
Zhang Biwu has been monitoring the dynamics of Yu Yin and others, and has cast the net well. Just when the time comes, close the net and catch fish.
Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan and others really sent people to Taiyuan City to Zhu Shichang and Lord Ai and Man Dahai and Wakda, they couldn't help but be very happy when they heard it!
But Wakda is not stupid, as long as he thinks about it again, he is afraid that if Zhang Biwu sees through Yu Yin and the others, once they raise troops to respond, then they may be dead!
But what if Biwu really can't see through Yu Yin and the others, so that this time he missed the opportunity in vain? So what's the good thing? After thinking about it, the two brothers Mandahai and Wakda reached an agreement, that is, to let the guerrilla general Gao Guosheng attack. In order to defeat the opponent!
After Gao Guosheng received the order, he saw the right time. That's where the attack begins. Because now there is chaos in Zhang Biwu's army.
Wakda watched from above, and he prayed in his heart: "It must be successful!" To succeed! Mandahai was also eagerly looking forward to it.
Gao Guosheng's men and horses also rushed into Zhang Biwu's camp, greatly disturbing it, it seems that the situation is unfavorable to Zhang Biwu, and the Manchu Qing is favorable.
"Good!" Man Dahai couldn't help but hit the arrow stack with a punch, and then said, "Fourth brother, send troops!" Let's destroy Zhang Biwu's entire army together! Fight for Amma's face! ”
Wakda still stared closely, he didn't say anything, he felt that it was very inappropriate to send troops now, although the situation was unfavorable to Zhang Biwu, but he always had a sense of foreboding.
Zhu Shichang spoke up: "The two princes must not send troops!" If we send troops, it will be our army at a disadvantage! It is impossible for Zhang Biwu to be deceived by Yu Yin and other traitors! Perhaps, he expected Yu Yin's fraud and wanted to take the opportunity to lure us out! ”
Wakda still didn't say anything, and at this moment, a person under the city shouted: "Two princes, open the door quickly!" Under is Li Qisheng! Please join us in attacking the thief and destroy the thief! ”
Wakda laughed and said, "Good! Open the door and let them in! Zhu Shichang was anxious and said, "No! Lord, I beg you not to send troops! You can't send troops! Otherwise, Taiyuan City will not be able to be protected! ”
Man Dahai looked at Zhu Shichang, and knew that he was the governor of Shanxi appointed by the emperor, although with the respect of their prince, it was okay to order him, but he had to leave face for Zhu Shichang!
When Man Dahai thought that the other party could actually free up his hands to send Li Qisheng to call the battle, maybe there was really a problem!
So when Mandahai raised his hand in Wakda, he stepped forward and said, "Fourth brother, I think it's better to take another look!" Wakda couldn't help but look at the seventh brother and said, "Seventh brother, you were still excitedly shouting just now that you were going to send troops to avenge Amma, but now how can you say that it has changed?" ”
Man Dahai replied: "This time and that time! The situation is different, then it has to be treated differently! I really doubt it! ”
The seventh brother said so, and Wakda couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to see what the situation was before making a plan.
After a period of turmoil, the turmoil soon ceased, and the fact that the turmoil was quelled so quickly confirmed that Zhang Biwu was not affected, and that he was luring Wakda and Mandahai out together to attack Taiyuan City.
"Hah!" Wakda couldn't help laughing, and said to Man Dahai: "Seventh brother, you are not wrong! Fortunately, the fourth brother did not send troops! Otherwise, we will all be deceived by Zhang Biwu! ”
Man Dahai was worried, and he couldn't help but remember what Dai Shan had said to them before: "You have to be careful! Don't look at the Regent is very good to our Daishan family now! But he has been thinking about his mother being forced to death by Amma, and now you go with him to fight Datong Jiang Xuan, in case he asks you to guard Taiyuan and other places to defend Zhang Biwu, I am afraid that you will not be able to come back! Alas! ”
Dai Shan's crying in front of his eyes still appeared in front of him one by one, and Dai Shan could only say: "Okay! Now that you two are already on the march, you can only put life and death out of the way! I hope you will kill the enemy well, even if you die, you will die like the Aixin Jueluo family! ”
Man Dahai said, "Brother, do you remember what Ama said before we set out on the expedition? ”
Wakda also thought of this, he knew that he would be attacked by Zhang Biwu tomorrow! He gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Come on!" How can we say that our Taiyuan City also has ten red-coated cannons, and their entire army only has seven red-coated cannons, compared with us, the firepower is worse than ours! They can't break through Taiyuan City! ”
Zhu Shichang looked worried, and said: "Many people in Taiyuan City are willing to work for Zhang Biwu!" I'm afraid of what the people of the city will do! Alas! Now that we have insufficient troops to defend the city, we are even more overstretched with the defeat of General Gao Guosheng and some soldiers! ”
Wakda and Mandahai were silent, and they knew that Taiyuan City was even more difficult to defend.
When he was talking, he saw that there was already a commotion under the city, and Yu Yin, Han Zhaoxuan, Feng Ru Eun, Gao Ding, including Gao Guosheng, who was sent out of the city, were all escorted to the city of Taiyuan.
Huang Qi shouted at the city: "You guys are watching from above, surrender early, it's better early!" If you resist the Heavenly Soldier again, this is the end! Kill! ”
"Porphyry", all the heads were cut off, Yu Yinneng could only scream, but no matter how much he screamed, it was useless.
When Li Jiantai saw this, he couldn't help but twist his head to the other side, he understood that Zhang Biwu asked them to watch too, firstly, to deter the Qing army in the city, and secondly, to warn them not to have a heart of betrayal, otherwise, they would have to end up like Yu Yin and others.
In this way, on the second day, Zhang Biwu asked the soldiers to take advantage of yesterday's momentum to get rid of the traitors, and immediately launched a wave-like offensive to the city, to capture Taiyuan City at all costs.
Seven Hongyi cannons bombarded a city wall. "Boom! Boom! "The sound of cannons is endless, but when I see the city wall, the bricks are falling piece by piece, and the cannonballs also fly to the city, sometimes falling into the houses, although this is not the result that Zhang Biwu saw, but the cannonballs have no eyes, and no one can control them.
"Put!" This is a ringing arrow tied with a note, to shoot the arrow into the city of Taiyuan, tell the residents of the city, do not help the Tartars to defend the city, the Ming army will attack the city with all its might, the city will be broken, and then the people of Taiyuan will be regarded as the Ming Dynasty as always.
