Chapter 450: Under the Pine Mountain, Descending from the Territory (I)

"Sony, the matter in the army, there is a decision between the king and the prince Zheng, you only need to be responsible for raising food and grass, and the rest of the things will not be bothered by Raul and others, now our first task is to take Songshan and Xingshan, King Su, you quickly go to the whole army, once Songshan surrenders, you will lead the army to attack southern Liaoning."

"King Rui, according to the sentinel news, Li Xingzhi left more than 10,000 military horses to guard in southern Liaoning, and rebuilt the fortress in Jinzhou, Jinzhou faces the sea on both sides, and its army and naval division are very sharp, this king only brings more than 10,000 Manchurian soldiers and more than 10,000 newly formed Han troops, I am afraid that the strength will not be caught!"

There are sixty-three bulls in the blue flag, and Dolgon asked Hauge to take thirty bulls out on the expedition, and Hauge was not stupid, knowing that Dolgon was taking the opportunity to seize his own bulls.

"This king heard that the name of the Liaonan guard is Li Dingguo, who is the righteous son of Zhang Xianzhong, and his army is just adapted from Liukou, is it possible that King Su is afraid? Otherwise, you hand over the military horse to this king, and this king will sacrifice the head of the thief in front of His Majesty's palace. ”

Prince Yu Duoduo stood up and looked at Hauge who was trying to shirk in a contemptuous tone.

"King Yu, you still go out with King Rui to Shanhaiguan, the king of southern Liaoning will take it by himself, if you can't take southern Liaonan, this king is willing to come to see him."

Hauge is young and vigorous, where can he stand the agitation of Duoduo, and besides, he has been through a hundred battles, if he can't even take a single thief, wouldn't it make people laugh.

"Since King Su agrees, then let's go and reorganize the army!"

Zilharang shook his head helplessly, he was speechless for his ally, for fear that Dolgon would rush to speak, so he took the handle and forced Hauge to set up a military order.

Since Wu Sangui intends to betray Hong Chengchou of Songshan, Dolgon will naturally not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At the same time as Hauge ordered his troops, Dolgon immediately led a total of 35,000 troops and horses with two white flags and two yellow flags to the foot of Songshan City.

In order to show his sincerity with the Qing army, Wu Sangui also ordered Yang Kun to go to Songshan to join the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Gubo Hui who stayed at the front station, and shot Xia Chengde, the deputy general of Songshan in the book city that night.

At this time, Songshan City had been besieged by the Eastern Captives for more than two months, and the defenders in the city were panicked in the face of the encirclement of the Qing army.

Looking at the trenches and walled walls that are more than three zhang wide outside the city, as well as defensive facilities such as arrow towers and watchtowers, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao of the Ming Dynasty, sighed, he thought that his wisdom was unparalleled, but he did not expect that he would end up like this with 130,000 troops to reinforce Jinzhou.

Hong Chengchou word Yanyan, number Hengjiu, Fujian Quanzhou Nan'an Yingdu people, Wanli forty-four years of Jinshi, tired officials to Shaanxi political envoys to participate in politics, the first year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi Wang Zuogui and Miao Mei raised troops to commit Hancheng, Yang He, who was the governor of Shaanxi at the time, enabled Hong Chengchou to command the army to suppress the thieves, Hong Chengchou also lived up to expectations, defeated Wang Zuogui's peasant army in one fell swoop, and has been in the ascendant since then.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou, who was then the governor of the three sides, appointed Ma Ke and Zuo Guangxian as generals, set up an ambush in the carriage gorge, and defeated the peasant army of Li Zicheng's department in one fell swoop.

Before the Songjin War, Hong Chengchou was also full of confidence, thinking that with the cooperation of the Shandong Army, he had 130,000 elite on the nine sides, even if he could not level Liao in one fell swoop, but it was not difficult to defeat the main force of the Qing army to relieve the siege of Jinzhou.

"The superintendent is relieved, after the siege of the city, although the fortifications on the periphery of Songshan are constantly strengthened, but they are also short of food and grass, the superintendent is the emperor's trusted minister, and the court will definitely not ignore our life and death, and say that the army is on the way to help."

Hong Chengchou was the backbone of more than 10,000 Ming troops who retreated in Songshan City, and Qiu Min, the governor of Liaodong, had to be relieved to see Hong Chengchou's heavy heart.

"Huh...... Reinforcements...... Where did the reinforcements come from? If it weren't for Wu Sangui and Wang Pu taking the lead in escaping, how could the headquarters suffer such a big defeat, now the official army has lost their hearts, we are already alone, and now the grain in the city is only enough to support two months, once the grain and grass are exhausted, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Alas......, if it weren't for His Majesty's urging too much, how could my nine-sided elite be wiped out, now Jinzhou has been broken by the Dongyu, Shanhaiguan no longer has a screen domain, and the dynasty has been troubled since then, I hope that the Shandong army can make some progress in southern Liaoning, otherwise, the main force of the Dongyu can be directly driven down."

Qiu Minyang is a native of Weinan, Shaanxi, with the Wanli Dynasty to raise people, to teach the move to Dong'an County, Tianfu, in Dong'an during the period had been part of the township soldiers, to resist the soldiers of the East Captives into the Kou, Xu Gong was promoted to the prefect of Hejian, Tianjin Deputy Envoy, Chongzhen thirteen years and moved to Ningqian Road, instead of Fang Yizao as the governor of Liaodong, when the Liaodong War for many years, all the officials were unwilling to enter the Liao as officials, Qiu Minyang was happy to go to the post, only said that both by the imperial court, when the country died, the people of Gyeonggi have been suffering from the East for a long time, I went to Liaodong, should be to die to repay the country.

"Now you can only take one step, look at one step, Qiu Gong, you go and tell Xia Chengde and Cao Bianjiao, let them guard the city defense, don't miss it, as for Zu Dale, you let him guard the old man, Zu Dashou has been reduced to slavery, we have to guard against it!"

"The subordinate officer respectfully obeys the orders of the superintendent!"

Qiu Min bowed down to receive the order, he knew that Zu Dale was Zu Dashou's own brother, and he was transferred to Hong Chengchou's side, in fact, to watch him and prevent him from colluding with Zu Dashou to sell Songshan City.

After the news of the surrender of Jinzhou came, Hong Chengchou changed the Guanning army in the defense city, but it was Xia Chengde and Cao Bianjiao who guarded the north and south gates, the reason is that Cao Bianjiao is his henchman brought from Shaanxi, and Xia Chengde is not a member of the Zu Dashou family, but he did not expect that his good student Wu Sangui would send people to shoot books in the city at night and collude with Xia Chengde.

"Father, Songjin was defeated, the siege of the city was tightened, we were trapped in the lonely city, we really hoped that the imperial court reinforcements would arrive, but now Wu Sangui has betrayed the Ming Dynasty, let's keep it again, what's the point, it's not that we are not loyal to the court, it's that the court has abandoned us!"

In the gate tower of Songshan South City, Xia Shu, the son of Xia Chengde, took the arrow book that shot into the city from the pass, and looked at Xia Chengde with a desperate face, he was still young, as the son of the deputy general of Songshan, he still had a great future, how to be willing to give his life in this Songshan City.

"Inspector Hong treats me very well, if I surrender, I'm afraid that I won't have the face to see Inspector Hong, and besides, Wu Sangui is Zu Dashou's nephew, so he can't look down on us in the first place, let's vote for him, I'm afraid it won't end well."

Xia Chengde was a little entangled, saying that it was false to receive Hong Chengchou's kindness, and it was true that he had a bad relationship with Zu Dashou, and he had two or three thousand men and horses in his hands, surrendered to Wu Sangui, and he was not gnawed into meat residue.

"Father, my son didn't say that he wanted to vote for Wu Sangui, if I wanted me to say that it would be better to surrender to the Dongyu, the Dongyu won a hundred battles, regarded the Ming as nothing, surrendered to them, and I will definitely protect the wealth of my Xia family."

“…… Surrender to Wu or not, what you said makes sense, so let's do it, you will surrender to the city tonight and see what conditions Dongyu can give us? If the talk is good, you don't have to come back, take the red light outside the city as the signal, and move troops for the father's number, so as to welcome the Dongyu soldiers into the city, alas, I will be sorry for the superintendent, sorry for the Ming! ”

Xia Chengde considered it again and again, and finally agreed to his son Xia Shu's suggestion, leaving Xia Shu in the Donglu army, in fact, to let him be a hostage and win the trust of the Dongyu.
