Chapter 7 The Ming army of Songshan is disheartened
When Zhang Biwu was thinking about this, Fei Yangguo shouted: "Zhang Biwu, why did you retreat?" Keep fighting! Come on! ”
This can pull Zhang Biwu back from his thoughts. Zhang Biwu smiled, he smiled calmly and said to Fei Yangguo in the city: "I'm sorry! My good brother! This time, I can't help but let you lose again! Of course, I will also let your Lord lose with you, so that you will not be blamed! ”
"Zhao Dayong, Zhao Dawei, everything depends on you! It's time for you to act! And Zhang Pan! I've got to rely on all three of you! The most dangerous thing is Zhang Pan! I hope you Zhang Pan can come back alive! Be safe! Zhang Biwu knew that he was taking a risk, but he had to take the risk!
Zhang Biwu saw Xuan Jianhao's frowns, so he asked, "Are you worried about Songjin?" Afraid they won't be able to hold on? Lost too quickly? ”
Xuan Jianhao nodded his head and replied, "Yes!" That's right! I'm just worried about Songjin's side! Especially Hong Seungchou's Songshan! Although Matsuyama should be able to hold on until we arrive, I am afraid that the traitors will betray us, in that case, even if we are lucky enough to succeed, rushing to Matsuyama will not help the overall situation, but will put us in a difficult situation! ”
"Alas!" Zhang Biwu sighed at the same time and said, "Yes! We're just racing for time now! It's up to us to get to Matsuyama before it falls! ”
What Zhang Biwu thought in his heart was: "If we can rush to rescue Hong Chengchou and prevent Hong Chengchou from surrendering, history will be rewritten because of this!" Will I succeed this time? ”
Just as Zhang Biwu was worried, the situation on the side of Songshan is not optimistic!
Xia Chengde and Jiang Fei secretly discussed together again. Jiang Fei said to Xia Chengde: "General, Qing doesn't believe that we will surrender!" I'm afraid that we will make a plan to get Hong Chengchou out of trouble! So we have to win the trust of the Lord! That could only be to send the general's son Xia Shu as a hostage to the Qing army camp. Qing will naturally believe in the sincerity of our surrender! ”
Xia Chengde thought that he had been in contact with the Manchu Qing for a long time, and his motive for surrendering had been given to him by Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou was now worried a lot, so he didn't kill him! I'll find an opportunity to kill him in the future! From the first time he sent people to the Qing camp to surrender, there was no turning back.
Xia Chengde said: "It's good! I immediately handed over my son to the Qing military camp! As soon as Xia Chengde said that, he really sent his son Xia Shu to the Qing military camp.
Huang Taiji looked at Xia Shu, he smiled with satisfaction, then waved his hand, and motioned for someone to take Xia Shu down to rest.
Huang Taiji then asked, "How is it?" Is there any news from Gaizhou? ”
Hou Qi replied: "Your Majesty, after Zhang Biwu attacked Gaizhou once, he knew that the city of Gaizhou was strong, and he didn't dare to attack it again, so he went to the east!" It seems that the target is North Korea! ”
"North Korea?" Huang Taiji's heart tightened! He couldn't help but stand up and said, "Is he really going to North Korea?" Hou Qi replied, "Yes!" Absolutely true! He's going all the way east! And did not bypass Gaizhou and Yaozhou, etc.! It seems that he also knows that Dao Songjin can't be saved, so he can only turn to North Korea! ”
Zilharang said on the side: "Your Majesty, the DPRK is superficially obedient to our country, but they have announced four major crimes against them in the first year of Tiancong, which is called Ding Mao Chao. And in the first year of Chongde, the emperor personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Korea, forcing North Korea to break off relations with the Ming Kingdom, and sent his eldest son Li Wei, whose second son was named Li Hao, the prince of Fenglin, to be a proton. It is also said that in the first year of Chongde, our army invaded Korea for the capture of Bingzi! ”
Huang Taiji understands that North Korea does not really want to be obedient, and if the strength of the Ming army increases, they will fall to the Ming Dynasty again.
Zilharang said: "They often miss what they say in their mouths, saying that the Ming army participating in the war was in a desperate situation with no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, all relying on one thought of loyalty, one blood, feeding on dead corpses, and fighting in the ice and snow without any clothes!" Set up an ambush to defeat the strong enemy and defeat our Qing army. Damn! Damn it! ”
Huang Taiji remembered, for this battle, he still had palpitations, at that time Amin was attacking the Korean army, but under the attack of Mao Wenlong, the elite of the blue flag with tens of thousands of proud soldiers was lost, and he still did not recover after two years of rest, and the other flags also suffered losses to varying degrees.
Fortunately, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, otherwise, Mao Wenlong led his Dongjiang Army to occupy Phi Dao, and has been threatening the Manchus in the back, and the Manchus can't invade the Ming Realm if they want to, and they have no worries. The feud between Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong was the greatest benefit of Qing.
If Zhang Biwu enters North Korea again and instigates North Korean rebellion, it will be a very difficult thing! The more Huang Taiji thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, this matter can't be taken lightly!
Huang Taiji called Li Wei and Li Hao, and the proton Huang Taiji of North Korea brought them to the army, so as to see his military prestige and see his strength, which made them fearful.
Indeed, when Li Wei and Li Hao saw the Qing army breaking the Ming army, they were already frightened! They did not dare to rebel again. It can only be surrendered to the Manchus.
Now Huang Taiji threatened them with both soft and hard, so that the Korean proton had to be afraid, and immediately wrote a letter to their father, telling their father that they would never be able to meet the Ming generals, if they did, not only would they not be able to see his two sons, but even Korea would be ravaged by the Qing army's iron hooves again.
After the rebellion of Bingzi, although there were many dissatisfactions in North Korea, after all, they were afraid of being beaten by the Manchus! Coupled with the continuous strength of the Manchus, the suzerainty of North Korea, the Ming Dynasty, was bullied by the Manchus, and North Korea had no other way but to submit! Even in the Songjin War, Huang Taiji sent envoys to North Korea constantly to urge the Korean lord Li Liang to prepare grain and grass.
North Korea supplied a lot of grain and grass to the Qing army in the Songjin War, but under the pressure of the Manchu Qing for many years, North Korea was also chaotic and the people could not bear the suffering!
Huang Taiji did this thing, he still didn't worry, he thought that he would solve Songjin as soon as possible, and then look at the attitude of North Korea, North Korea really dared to accept Zhang Biwu, then Huang Taiji would personally raise more than 100,000 troops to attack North Korea, this time it must destroy North Korea!
Huang Taiji began to arrange, he and Xia Chengde agreed on when to open the door and surrender, and when the Qing soldiers entered Songshan City.
At this time, Hong Chengchou couldn't sit still, he went around to inspect, although he once asked Xia Chengde to come to see him, but Xia Chengde didn't want to come to see him at all. Even Jiang Fei was hiding in Xia Chengde and didn't want to return to his line.
When Hong Chengchou was distraught, he had no choice but to come out to inspect, and now Qiu Minyang was also by his side, and even Cao Bianjiao, who had just caught a cold, followed closely behind.
Hong Chengchou and the others saw all the scolding and complaining of the soldiers along the way, and the soldiers were very angry, and even some people said that it was better to surrender early.
Hong Chengchou They don't dare to blame, now is not the time to kill a Liwei, after all, many people have such an idea, killing is inexhaustible, maybe it will provoke a mutiny!
The Book of War and the Six Taos all record that if there are few soldiers who are not satisfied, then they can kill people to establish authority, but there are too many people, especially if the whole army is like this, they must not be killed, and killing people not only does not establish authority but is counterproductive. Hong Chengchou read the military book deeply, and he naturally knew that the current situation of the military book was in line with what the military book said, it was indeed impossible to kill anyone, and if he killed him, he would mutiny!
One of the soldiers gently touched the soldier who was shouting for surrender and said, "Be careful! The Governor and the Sect Master are here! If they hear it, they will lose their heads! ”
The soldier who just said that he surrendered was not afraid, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of!" Hear it, hear it! I'm not the only one saying it anyway! There are so many people who say that! If he wants to kill, kill it! The emperor has been in arrears with our military salaries, and he also asked us to fight with our heads, why do we have to serve such a court? And if we are abandoned here, why should we be stupid and stubborn? ”
Hong Chengchou didn't dare to stay here anymore, he could only leave quickly, he knew that the soldiers were not afraid to say the words of surrender in front of him, but he knew that the army's heart was in turmoil and could not be used anymore! Matsuyama can't stay for a long time! Alas! There are no reinforcements to come from the imperial court!
Hong Chengchou walked very fast, very fast, he was expressionless, very cold. At the same time, Qiu Minyang is the same, and Cao Bianjiao is close behind, they are all full of hearts.
Hong Chengchou thought while thinking that when the Ming army was broken through Bijia Mountain by the Qing army, tens of thousands of people were driven into the sea, but many of them did not surrender, they stood in the sea and fought against the Qing soldiers.
Even the soldiers guarded the generals, and they fought back with arrows on the seashore in this way, but there was the impact of the waves, and many Ming soldiers could not stand steadily. Many were either shot to death by the Qing soldiers on the shore, or shot wounded and drowned. Even so, they still looked at Beijing from afar and saluted. In the end, more than 20,000 people died at sea.
Before the expedition, everyone had to stand for the country, but now why did they say the words of surrender?
Hong Chengchou shook his head, but he also knew that there were still a few people who surrendered, and most of them were still willing to fight to the end and would never surrender. Even if some people say surrender, they are only verbal, and they don't want to betray their ancestors, betray their homeland, and surrender to the East. But the morale is so low that there is really no way to do it.
"Alas!" After walking for a long time, Hong Chengchou sighed and said: "The army's morale is so weak that it is today, and it may be difficult for Songshan to defend it for a long time!" Alas! How is it good? Perhaps only by dying to repay the country is the best way to receive the country's favor! ”
