In order to further consume the strength in the city, Huang Taiji took advantage of Zu Dashou's eagerness to wait for reinforcements, and carried out a fake reinforcement, and the Jin soldiers put on the clothes and armor of the Ming army and played the banner of the Ming army, shouting and killing the Jin soldier camp. When Zu Dashou saw it at the head of the city, he was overjoyed and forgot to leave, and immediately led his troops to rush out, wanting to join forces with the outside and highlight the encirclement. How did he know that Huang Taiji had set up an ambush and was bent on capturing him alive. When he was out of the city and was about to join the reinforcements, the reinforcements suddenly turned into golden soldiers and came directly to him. Zu Dashou was shocked, and then he knew that he had fallen into someone's plan to lure the enemy, and hurriedly retreated. But he was surrounded by the Jin soldiers, but fortunately, his subordinates were extremely brave and fought desperately, and finally they were not captured alive, and fled back to the city in a wolf manner, never to leave the city again.

From the siege of the city on the sixth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen) to the false reinforcements on the nineteenth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, Dalinghe City has been besieged for forty-eight days, and the city has long been out of food.

A merchant named Zhang Yifu who escaped from the city said: "In the city, they first killed war horses and ate horse meat, and when the horses were almost killed, they began to eat people, of course, first the unarmed city builders, and also those soldiers who starved to death. Only a few high-ranking officials still have one or two liters of rice. The history of the city is "boiling bones and dissecting remains, unheard of in ancient times." "What does it mean, it is to use human bones as firewood, cut off human flesh and roast it and eat it? The whole city is full of human remains, burning human flesh everywhere to eat, at this time the Daling River has become a living and gloomy underworld in broad daylight.

Huang Taiji in 1631 (Chongzhen four years) on the seventh day of the tenth lunar month and the ninth day of October two days successively to Shuzu Dashou, He Kegang, deputy general Zhang Cunren, persuaded him to descend quickly. But he was still rejected by Zu Dashou. At this time, more than 30,000 people in the city had starved to death, and more than 10,000 had died, but Zu Dashou and the army had persevered. The most direct reason was the massacre of the city by Amin. He Kegang believes: surrender is also death. Not surrendering is death. Instead of surrendering to be killed. It is better to starve to death without yielding, and starving to death can leave a good reputation as a martyr. He Kegang also believes that Huang Taiji is a person who has no great ambitions, and he has already entered Gyeonggi, but he has withdrawn back, and he has no ambition to dominate the world at all. The purpose of the Jin soldiers' conquest is nothing more than one word "robbery", which is no big difference from the robbers who occupy the mountains as kings, and such people who surrender will never end well in the future. He Kegang's views have been unanimously agreed by everyone. This is the most fundamental reason why the Ming army still insisted on not surrendering in a desperate situation.

In a collective, as long as there is a loyal and brave person like He Kegang who refuses to surrender, it is enough to influence a large number of people!

In this regard, Huang Taiji personally wrote to Zu Dashou, he explained: "In the past, it was true that the Liao people were killed, and I deeply regretted it, we had not done that for a long time. As for Yongping's massacre of the city, it was done by Erbel Amin, and he was also severely punished for this, I hope you will not have this prejudice. ”

But Zu Dashou and others still don't believe it, and at the same time, the shape in the city is in danger. But a group of loyal and brave people led by He Kegang are still insisting on resisting! The time is not ripe for Zu Dashou to surrender! To surrender in the army, it is not for one person to have the final say. Although Zu Dashou has the absolute right to speak on this army, he does not have such a high prestige to pull the army to Houjin!

The entire Ming Dynasty is still there, the emperor is still there, how many people are willing to go to Jiannu to be slaves for Jiannu?

On the 24th day of the ninth lunar month in 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), the reinforcements of 40,000 people of the Ming Dynasty finally arrived. Leading this force was Zhang Chun, the superintendent of the army. Zhang Chun, born in the four cities of Yongping, stood out for Sun Chengzong, this time the Daling River was besieged, Sun Chengzong strongly recommended him to take command, and the imperial court sent him as the supervisor of the army.

On the 27th day of the ninth lunar month in 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), the army crossed the Xiaoling River and approached the Dalinghe City, and met the Jin soldiers when it was fifteen miles away from the Dalinghe City. In order to contain the cavalry, Zhang Chun used many chariots, which were equipped with firearms, and the battle between the two sides began, and the Eight Banners suffered some losses, and they rushed several times without success, and the chariot array slowly advanced.

The Jin soldiers already had the powerful red-coated cannon, and they were in the middle of the avenue at this time, waiting for the arrival of the Ming army. When the Ming army entered the firing range, forty cannons were fired one after another, and the camp of the Ming army was in chaos at that time, Huang Taiji led the army to rush up, and the Ming army was killed and retreated. Zhang Chun saw that the situation was not good, and when he saw that the wind was going east, he used fire to attack, and the fire was fierce, and he pounced on the Jin soldiers, who were forced back by the fire. The defeat was like a mountain, Zhang Chun wanted to curb the rout, but it was useless, and in the end, even he himself was swept into the tide of defeat and retreat. Huang Taiji had already laid an ambush on the way of the retreat of the Ming army, and most of the fleeing Ming troops gave up resistance and surrendered when they encountered ambushes. Zhang Chun and more than 30 of his generals were captured alive, and the commanders Wu Xiang and Song Wei only escaped with a few dozen people. The army of 40,000 reinforcements collapsed, and since then, the imperial court has never sent reinforcements. The fourth reinforcement was almost completely annihilated.

The two sides of Ming and Jin killed the earth, but Zu Dashou did not move in the city, and did not reflect at all, Zu Dashou was scared of the fake reinforcements of Huang Taiji, and he couldn't tell whether it was true or false, and he was afraid of being fooled again. The city has been without food for nearly two months, and everything that should be eaten and everything that should not be eaten has been eaten, and there is nothing left to eat except people. Zhang Chun was defeated again, and Da Linghe was completely in a desperate situation.

The soldiers and civilians in Dalinghe City struggled in hell for ten days, and on the seventh day of the tenth lunar month in 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), Huang Taiji once again sent the ancestor to the great birthday, and sent Jiang Xin to the city for an interview. Zu Dashou sent a general named Han Dong to negotiate in the Jin camp. On the 25th day of the tenth lunar month in 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), Zu Dashou finally made up his mind, and he invited Shi Tingzhu, the general of Houjin, to enter the city to discuss the reduction of gold.

In 1631 (the fourth year of Chongzhen), on the evening of the 25th day of the tenth lunar month, Zu Kefa, Liu Tianlu, Zhang Cunren and other four people arrived at the Jin Bing camp with Shi Tingzhu, and Huang Taiji personally greeted them, and the four of them knelt down and bowed. Huang Taiji hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and hugged his waist with the most noble etiquette of the Jurchens. Then a feast was set up, and the four were invited to their seats.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor who had been sitting firmly in Beijing, finally couldn't sit still! In Sun Chengzong's urging to seal the radio one by one, and in the reflection of the front-line secret agents one by one, he realized the danger of the situation in Liaodong! Decided to go to the front in person!

Originally, since the last time he went to Datong and the front line of Yanmen Pass, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen did not plan to go out of Beijing again, and he had no practical effect on going! But this time is different, this time it is related to whether to mobilize the Imperial Forest Army, which he has always been reluctant to use, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen must go to the front line and personally assess it!

Wang Chengen knew that it was useless to persuade him, "Your Majesty, you must promise the old slave that you will return to Beijing in three days at most." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly bitterly, "I don't want to go, but if I don't go and see it with my own eyes, how can I know the situation on the front line?" The key is not to know the meaning of Wu Xiang and the gang of generals in Liaodong, even if Zu Dashou really surrenders, as long as the hearts of these people can be stabilized, the Royal Forest Army can not move for the time being! I have no way to promise you anything, I can only do my best! ”

Three days is not enough, and Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen didn't think about it, what are you going to do in Liaodong, go and see it, is it really useful?

In fact, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has always had a very dark idea, and he even hopes that Huang Taiji will pass through the customs again! It is far better to die in a fight with Jiannu and die in the hands of Huang Taiji than in the hands of your own people!

It is a very humiliating thing to be killed by your own people! Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is eager to make everyone realize that Jiannu is the bane!

Wang Chengen and the emperor discussed the matter after the emperor left Beijing, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not tell Zhang Huiyi about his identity, naturally he didn't have to say anything to Zhang Huiyi, only told Zhang Huiyi that he was going to go to other places on business, his identity was Jinyiwei, and he naturally didn't need to tell Zhang Huiyi what he did, but there was a lot less tongue.
