Chapter 1484: Besieging Shengjing
Since they received a request for help from Shengjing and an order and a will for the 150,000 troops to return to the army, these Manchu nobles who had robbed the army immediately gathered together to discuss their views after receiving the order.
Seriously, the will has already stated that the threat comes from Jincheng.
And the Song forces represented by Jincheng are the most unwilling to face them.
You must know that in the war against Jincheng for more than a year, Zhao Hongyu has shown the strength of the Song Empire, which has brought a lot of losses to the Eight Banners.
These nobles and generals have more or less suffered losses here with Zhao Hongyu.
It is precisely because of this that they all know how much they will have to pay to fight the Song Empire represented by Jincheng.
This is not like bullying the weak Goryeo, the Song Empire army in Jincheng, it would be good if they didn't come to bully them Eight Banners, where would it be their turn to bully the Song people in Jincheng.
Well, now they led an army of 150,000 to conquer Goryeo, and Geumseong took the opportunity to attack Houjin. The troops left behind by Jin were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they could not resist the invasion of the Song army.
And even if they return to the army, will they really be able to resist?
Apparently this is unlikely.
Because they fought with the Song people, everyone knows about it.
Then, as for the question of whether to go back or not, the big guys have to discuss it carefully.
You must know that the 150,000 Eight Banners army led by them is already the only remaining elite of Houjin.
In other words, these people who invaded Goryeo took away the last military power of Houjin. If they were a little selfish, they could completely rely on this military force to start anew, avoid Jincheng's edge, and at the same time get rid of Huang Taiji's clamping and oppression.
And it just so happened that among the people who went out with the army, there were people with this thought.
Dorgon and Dordor. and the noble generals they have been courting for a long time, and their members are quite numerous.
They are all people who do not accept Huang Taiji as an emperor, and are dissatisfied with the current post-Jin Guoli.
Therefore, this discussion took a lot of time, and in the end there was no result.
And this time-wasting deliberation eventually ruined Houjin, and also gave Dorgon and Duoduo and those who shared their ambitions an opportunity.
yes, on the third day of their counseling. The bad news from Shengjing came over.
Dai Shan rebelled and took refuge with the Song people, and half of the 120,000 troops left behind in Houjin under his command chose to join the Song people with Dai Shan.
Most of the remaining half of the army chose to flee the area of Houjinkong and fled into the Mongolian steppe region and the forests further north.
Only a small part of the army belonging to the Huang Taiji family retreated to Shengjing, the capital city established by the Later Jin, to do a death struggle.
At this time, Dolgon, who received the news, already knew very well that Houjin was finished.
Daishan's betrayal and the choice of the army. It will definitely make the Houjin Eight Banners split. And those who chose to confront the Song people were just dying.
How could they possibly fight against the firearms of the Song people?
Even if it's defending the city, it won't work.
The small artillery in the Song army was sharper than the red-coated cannons of the Ming Dynasty. It's not a problem to conquer the city.
Therefore, for the news that they were preparing to fight to the death in Shengjing City, Dolgon and them were very unoptimistic.
Therefore, they feel. Shengjing City broke that for sure.
So even if they return to the army now, it will be useless.
Besides, Dolgon, these people. I also have some other thoughts.
For them, it is of course a big bad thing that the gold is no longer there, but they can't change anything about it.
Then, we can only try our best to look for an opportunity on the basis of the destruction of Houjin.
Dolgon's consideration was that since they had 150,000 troops at their disposal, why not simply occupy Goryeo. Not to mention the occupation of the entire territory of Goryeo, even a few cities are possible.
At least, in this way, they can be regarded as a place to recuperate after they have a post-gold no longer stored in zài.
At the same time, after the destruction of Houjin, those Eight Banners people knew that there was still a force of Eight Banners in Goryeo, and they would definitely defect to it.
When the time comes, won't they be able to continue the Eight Banners?
Besides, Goryeo is far away from Geumseong, not as close to Geumseong as it is in Shengjing.
Then, there will be less threat.
In this way, Dolgon, with a series of efforts, persuaded the nobles and commanders who went out to accept his idea.
After all, Houjin can't be saved.
Like them, why not find a way back for themselves.
Even if this plan of the Goryeo Kingdom could not be realized, Dolgon had another consideration, which was to retreat further north with his army.
As long as there are people, then survival is not a problem.
In two days, Zhao Hongyu led the army to besiege Shengjing, and Dai Shan led more than 60,000 troops to surrender Zhao Hongyu led the army to approach Shengjing City, and did not encounter any resistance at all.
After Dai Shan led the army to surrender, Zhao Hongyu immediately issued a batch of Fu Shou ointment, of course, the added Fu Shou ointment was rewarded to Dai Shan, as well as the army that surrendered with him.
Regarding Zhao Hongyu's approach, the old and weak soldiers of the Eight Banners who chose to follow Dai Shan to surrender were very happy and quickly accepted this reality.
In the past, it would have been difficult to subdue these people.
However, when these people were addicted to Fushou cream, it is not surprising that they are now reacting.
What big family lineage is different, what kind of hatred of the country, these are all left behind, and what they see in their eyes at this moment is only the blessing and longevity ointment that can bring them the illusion of fluttering immortals.
As long as anyone can provide the blessing ointment, they will give their lives to whomever they want, and it is not a life to whoever they give anyway.
Come to think of it, even if they work hard for those masters of the same clan, their lives are still poor.
But if you give your life to the Song people of the foreign race, they can at least give them the blessing and longevity ointment.
As for the mentality of these people, Zhao Hongyu knew very well which political commissars knew it instantly, so he announced that Fushou paste would be supplied free of charge and would be distributed to them every day.
As long as they can serve the Song Empire well. Then Zhao Hongyu will definitely manage enough to provide them with this guarantee.
Tong Guò matter, the more than 60,000 old and weak people of the Eight Banners who chose to follow Dai Shan to surrender immediately completely surrendered to the Song Empire.
Free supply of longevity ointment, alas, where to find this good thing.
At this time, they don't think about what ethnic bloodline or what country.
Only Fushou paste is the most important.
I have to say that the difference between these addicts and normal people is really not small.
It's just that what these people don't understand is that the mastermind behind this addiction is this master of the Americas...... So. It's sad to think about them.
It's just that Zhao Hongyu doesn't pity them, as long as you think about the killings they caused to the people of the Ming Dynasty when they were glorious a few years ago, Zhao Hongyu doesn't pity them at all.
Therefore, after selling them, he had to count the money for himself, and Zhao Hongyu did not have a little psychological burden when he used them as cannon fodder.
It is precisely because of this that the main force that surrounded Shengjing, Zhao Hongyu used Dai Shan and the tens of thousands of old and weak troops he surrendered.
It has to be said. This is really a great disgusting Huang Taiji, and it this famous Manchu emperor in another time and space at one time.
Yes, it's angry.
Huang Taiji, who was lingering on the sickbed, was already terminally ill and had been holding on.
When he learned that Daishan did not put up any resistance. At the same time, when half of the 120,000 troops chose to surrender with him, a mouthful of old blood suddenly spurted out, and then they died.
At this point, it also led the people in Shengjing City to panic all day. At the same time, the dragons have no leader.
But in any case, resistance is still needed.
After all, none of them know. After the destruction of Shengjing City, what means will the Song people use to deal with them.
After all, thinking about the things they did after they invaded the Ming Dynasty and broke through the Ming Dynasty city a few years ago, the faces of those people in Shengjing City were very exciting.
It's not good, the reincarnation of cause and effect, this time it's their turn.
"The people in the city are listening, our master said, as long as we open the door and surrender, our master will not be blamed for changing the past, if you are obsessed, the chickens and dogs will not be left after the city is broken!"
The person who stood under Shengjing City and shouted was a Manchu man with a loud voice who was selected, and he also shouted in Manchu.
There was a time when they were all saying this kind of shouting to others, but now that feng shui is turning, they have become listeners.
The defenders at the head of the city did not have a taste in their hearts.
However, the shape is stronger than people, and there is no way for them to besiege the city with a large army.
After Huang Taiji's death, his harem concubines basically chose to commit suicide, because they knew that Huang Taiji had offended too many people, such as women, and if they didn't choose this path, they would basically not end well in the future.
What's more, now that the army outside the city is besieging the city, what will happen to them once the city is broken?
And some of the Manchurian nobles in the city also kept discussing whether to resist or surrender in the past two days.
Huang Taiji died, they lost a leader, and none of the remaining people could convince the public, so in the face of this situation, they were really powerless.
Zhao Hongyu outside the city is the old god, and he looks like he is winning.
Because he knew that Houjin no longer had the strength to resist.
Even if the 150,000 troops sent out to help them return to help, it would not be possible to avoid their destruction.
On the morning of this day, after sending people to the city to shout as usual, Dai Shan came to Zhao Hongyu's big tent.
"Your Highness, the people over there in Shengjing still haven't responded, do you think we're going to give them something powerful?" , Dai Shan's meaning is obvious, that is, to ask if he wants to start the siege.
In this regard, Zhao Hongyu doesn't think so.
He waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I think they will make a choice in two days." Don't forget, after we besieged the city, the source of Fushou paste was cut off. “
Being reminded by Zhao Hongyu like this, Dai Shan suddenly remembered this question.
Yes, the army is besieging the city, and the source of Fushou paste in Shengjing City is broken.
So, how long have these people in the city been able to hold on?
For the taste of Fushou ointment, Dai Shan has personally experienced it.
If you want to come, as long as you are addicted. There was no need for the nobles above to nod their heads, and the soldiers guarding the city would naturally know what to do.
"Go, select a group of people, and go to the city to absorb the blessing ointment. Just let the defenders of the city watch, I don't believe they can bear it! At the same time, those who shouted to the people, but those who surrendered, joined the Manchu army to manage the blessing of longevity for free. ”
Zhao Hongyu took a sip of coffee and said to Dai Shan with a relaxed expression.
"Huh!"
Dai Shan left in response, and Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "I can't imagine that the rumored fierce Manchu people can't help beating like this." It's really unthinkable that I'm going to be defeated by your Highness like this. ”
Yes, along the way, the army did not meet any resistance.
Even if there was sporadic resistance, it was just a mantis arm as a car, and it was quickly resolved.
Therefore, Li Zicheng has never seen the crazy energy of the Manchurians.
In this regard, Zhao Hongyu was too lazy to explain anything, after all, there was such an easy situation as today. That's been a plan for more than a year.
At the same time, if there was no such thing as Fushou Ointment, it would be impossible for Houjin's combat power to collapse so much.
And Jincheng has been stationed for more than a year, constantly weakening the military strength of Houjin through small-scale battles. These are some of the factors that have contributed to today's situation.
Not to mention the role of a post-Jin spy Dai Shan.
Of course, Li Zicheng will not know this, and Zhao Hongyu is too lazy to say it.
"Rest assured, this is just the beginning. I'll show you the edge of my army. There won't be much battle here in Shengjing, but don't forget about it, there are still 150,000 elite troops of Houjin on the Goryeo side. ”
I heard Zhao Hongyu say this. Li Zicheng thought of something.
"What does Your Highness mean that after breaking the capital of Houjin, the 150,000 elite army of Houjin who went to Goryeo will also be pursued and suppressed?"
Zhao Hongyu nodded and said, "Of course, since you want to fight, you will definitely kill them, and it is a hidden danger to keep these 150,000 Houjin troops." God knows if they'll be able to turn over, and if they do, wouldn't it be a problem for me? It's not good for the northern Ming Dynasty. ”
Li Zicheng thinks about it, and what Zhao Hongyu said is really right.
Anyway, the capital of the other country is about to break, which is equivalent to saying that there are not many years after the founding of the country, and this is considered the end.
Then, of course, the 150,000 troops who went to Goryeo to let them continue to exist.
After all, 150,000 soldiers and horses are not a small military force, and it is impossible to say that Houjin will really take advantage of this to turn over.
Of course, there are still some things that Zhao Hongyu didn't say, that is, if the 150,000 Houjin army is kept and not exterminated, once they have a place to stay, then the Manchurians who survived after the fall of Houjin will definitely take refuge in the past.
When they gather to a certain number, it is certain that they will not be able to return to the country.
Then, with this consideration, of course Zhao Hongyu will not let them go.
At this time, Dai Shan got Zhao Hongyu's reminder and had already sent a team of people to Shengjing City, and began to pick up the utensils for smoking Fushou paste and put them on the ground, and began to enjoy it.
This made the Shengjing defenders stationed at the head of the city look at it in their eyes, and their hearts are really not good.
Because as Zhao Hongyu guessed, the Shengjing garrison has begun to have some addiction.
So at this time, the scenes of those in the city enjoying the blessing ointment in a big way can be imagined as attractive to them.
Especially at this juncture when some of them are addicted, the temptation is not ordinarily small.
The feeling of being full of ants drilling into the heart, bones like millions of insects gnawing at them, and the city is a group of people swallowing clouds and spitting fog to enjoy.
Compare the two and the next, grandma's, what enemy is not an enemy, or Fushou ointment...... Many addicted defenders had such a thought flashing in their hearts.
"Brothers in the city, everyone is a disciple of the Eight Banners, what is there to say. Our master said, but all the brothers who choose to surrender, if they join us in the future, they will have enough longevity every day, and they don't want you to have a penny of silver! As long as you choose to surrender, what could be better than this......"
Among the people enjoying the blessing ointment below, someone stood up at this time and continued to shout at the head of the city.
And among the soldiers of the Eight Banners stationed at the head of the city, there are really many people who are addicted to addiction. (To be continued......)
