Chapter 226: Emperor Chongzhen who vomited blood
After half a month of bargaining, Tang Xiangjin exchanged 250,000 stone of grain from Huang Taiji's hands to Shenyang City, Liaoyang City, Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places, and pocketed all the land within the border wall of eastern Liao.
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with this result, because they had already chosen to retreat to the grassland, and Liaoyang City was naturally useless, and it was a good thing to be able to exchange Liaoyang City, Tieling, and Kaiyuan, which had lost their value, for urgently needed food.
And Tang Xiangjin is also satisfied, being able to take Liaoyang City means that Daqi will soon be able to gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, after all, with the distance between Gaizhou Acropolis and Liaoyang City, one left and one right can be said to have completely blocked the Ming army in Haizhou Acropolis.
As long as the Gaizhou Acropolis was not taken, the Ming army would never dare to attack Liaoyang City on a large scale, after all, the Gaizhou Acropolis might cut off their back roads and grain routes at any time.
…
"Lao Luo, be careful, don't let the Jurchens cheat."
Looking at Shenyang City with the city gate wide open in the distance, Tang Xiangjin carefully advised, although the Jurchens had agreed to exchange the city for food, they also had to be very careful, if the Jurchens were trapped, it would be a big shame.
"I will."
Luo Yi nodded, according to the agreement between them and the Jurchens, one hand over grain and the other hand to change the city, he would first bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort 10,000 stone of grain to the outside of the city, and the Jurchens would withdraw some of the clansmen and soldiers and horses to escort the grain and leave first, and the soldiers and horses of Daqi would occupy part of the city.
When the Qi army occupies most of the city, the Jurchens will all withdraw from the city, take the soldiers and horses of the Great Qi to receive Liaoyang City, and then get all the remaining grain.
Now what he has to do is to prevent the Jurchens from cheating, if the Jurchens leave elite troops in the city, and when the food is almost gone, and then regret taking the city, then they will not only lose food, but even the soldiers and horses entering the city will be in danger.
After Luo Yi led people to escort the grain away, Tang Xiangjin looked at Jin Haowen of the Black Ice Platform on the side and said, "Jin Qianhu, you let people keep an eye on those evacuated Jurchen soldiers and horses, as soon as they make any changes, they will come to report immediately!"
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it."
Jin Haowen nodded with a serious expression, and then went down to make arrangements.
After Jin Haowen left, Tang Xiangjin's eyes turned to Shenyang City not far away.
…
On the other side, Luo Yi had already taken the soldiers and horses to escort 10,000 stone of grain to the outside of Shenyang City, and at this time, there were already tens of thousands of old and weak women and children of the Jurchen clan and cavalry waiting outside Shenyang City.
On the tower of the city, Yan Xia stood next to Huang Taiji and the others, and when he saw Luo Yi coming, Yan Xia smiled and arched his hand, "Great Khan, our grain has arrived."
Hearing Yan Xia's words, Huang Taiji glanced at him lightly, he knew that Yan Xia was urging him to fulfill the agreement.
After pondering for a while, Huang Taiji said, "Mang Gurtai, you take the people with the Blue Banner to the grassland to discuss with the various tribes in Monan first, and ensure that the clansmen can pass smoothly, Duoduo, you lead some of the clansmen to send the grain away first."
In fact, he also wanted to ambush some elites in the city, and when the Qi army entered the city, he would raid the other party and recapture the city, so that he could not only get a lot of food for nothing, but also severely damage the Qi army.
It's a pity that the Qi army will definitely not give him this opportunity, after all, the young and strong people of the Jurchen clan are all soldiers, and they can't be mixed with those old and weak women and children at all, and those elite spirits are not comparable to ordinary soldiers at all, and in the eyes of the strong, they are completely as conspicuous as fireflies in the night night.
Outside the city, after handing over the grain to Duoduo, Luo Yi led his men into the city, and at the same time began to patrol the city to prevent the Jurchens from hiding soldiers and horses in the house.
…
The Jurchens did not cheat, and the transaction went quite smoothly, and after more than ten transactions, only a few thousand soldiers and horses with white flags led by Huang Taiji remained in the entire Shenyang City.
Under the leadership of Huang Taiji, Tang Xiangjin came to the outside of Liaoyang City with 30,000 Qi troops.
………
On the other side, Sun Chengzong at this time also received information from Jinyiwei.
"What did you say?"
Sun Chengzong's face was pale and his face was incredulous.
"After a while, Jiannu sold Shenyang City and Liaoyang City to Daqi."
Jinyiwei Qianhu Hou Zuomin said with a bitter face, Jinyiwei did set up some spies outside Shenyang City and Liaoyang City, but he could only detect the movement of some Jurchen soldiers and horses, and it was impossible to find out any too confidential information.
It wasn't until Huang Taiji came to Liaoyang City with Daqi's soldiers and horses that their spies learned that the Jurchens had sold Shenyang City and Liaoyang City to Daqi.
"Drumming, Gathering!"
At this time, Sun Chengzong also reacted, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, this matter is too big, much bigger than the Jurchens occupying Liaodong, once the news reaches back to Jingshi, I'm afraid all of them will have to be imprisoned.
It didn't take long for Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zhao Shujiao, Guo Qin and others who heard the sound of the drum to rush to Sun Chengzong's tent, but after seeing Sun Chengzong's gloomy face, everyone's hearts couldn't help but chuckle.
This is not a good thing, in the recent period, the situation on the battlefield is quite favorable to them, because of the Great Qi, Mang Gurtai they were transferred back to Shenyang City, without cavalry attacks, they can attack the city with all their strength, according to the current trend, it will not be long before they can take Liaoyang City.
And now Sun Chengzong's expression is obviously that the situation has changed, and it is bad news, otherwise Sun Chengzong would never be like this
"Scripture, but what's wrong?"
He Kegang asked.
"Jiannu sold Liaoyang City and Shenyang City to Daqi, and now the people of Daqi have taken over Liaoyang City."
Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice.
"What!"
"How is that possible!"
Hearing this, Zu Dashou and the others couldn't help but exclaim.
After Zu Dashou and the others calmed down, Sun Chengzong continued, "Everyone, now that Liaoyang City has fallen into the hands of Daqi, what should we do? Beat? Or not?"
Sun Chengzong's words made Zu Dashou and the others fall into silence.
Beat?
Or don't fight,
Now that Daming and Daqi have peace discussions in front, if they fight, it will be Daming breaking the letter and breaking the contract, so Daming's reputation will be stinky.
But if you don't fight, one of the people present will be counted as one, and no one will end well, you must know that in order to quell the Liaodong Rebellion, the imperial court has emptied all the family funds, and even some of the soldiers and horses of Beizhili have been transferred over.
After all, the casualties of the soldiers who attacked the city must not be small, before attacking the Acropolis of Haizhou, and now attacking Liaoyang City have killed and injured many soldiers, if it is not for the capital to transfer troops, how can they maintain the scale of the army of 150,000.
Now that they have consumed so much, they have only taken one Haizhou Acropolis, and if it is passed to the imperial court, their fate will definitely not be much better.
However, if they fight, then they will trap the emperor in a place of no trust, and their fate will not be too good, because the emperor's reputation cannot be lost, even if it is the reputation of the faint king, it is better than the reputation of the emperor without faith, after all, the king has no jokes.
"Jinglu, why don't you go to the court first, and let the court decide."
After being silent for a long time, Guo Qin shook his head and said, "The canal is still under the control of Daqi, once Daqi blocks the canal again, we won't even have food, let alone attack Liaoyang City."
"I'll play the court."
Hearing this, Sun Chengzong sighed secretly in his heart, yes, even the lifeline is in the hands of Daqi, so how can he attack Liaoyang City.
After a pause, Sun Chengzong's eyes narrowed slightly, "How about the generals go with this official to meet the first general of Great Qi?"
Although he couldn't attack Liaoyang City, he was also quite curious about Tang Xiangjin, the first general of Daqi, and Tang Xiangjin definitely had a credit for the current situation in Daqi.
If Su Hao is Liu Bang, then Tang Xiangjin is Han Xin, taking Dongchang Mansion City gives Daqi the capital to negotiate peace with Daming, and taking Shenyang City and Liaoyang City gives Daqi a foundation to gain a foothold in Liaodong.
"Yes!"
Zu Dashou and several people responded one after another
。
"After a while, I don't know if I can let the lower officials accompany me."
At this time, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Hou Zuomin on the side asked, to be honest, he was also quite curious about this former colleague.
"Since Hou Qianhu is interested, let's come together."
Sun Chengzong nodded.
………
On the other side, after getting the desired food, Huang Taiji and Dai Shan evacuated Liaoyang City with soldiers and horses.
On the city tower, Tang Xiangjin watched the Eight Banners drive tens of thousands of Liaodong people away, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had also wanted Huang Taiji to leave the nearly 100,000 Liaodong people in Liaoyang City and Shenyang City, and even offered the price of 100,000 stone grain, but unfortunately Huang Taiji was not moved at all,
In order to attack Shenyang City, he hoarded more than 600,000 stone grain in Weining Camp, and had consumed 200,000 stone grain in the previous four months, and used 250,000 stone grain to buy Shenyang City and Liaoyang City.
Now the grain in his hand is less than 200,000 stone of grain, which is only enough for the army for more than three months, and the rest of the grain has to be transported from Shandong, and there is no more food to save those Liaodong people.
"Governor, the Ming army is calling for battle at the south gate!"
At this time, a soldier hurriedly came to Tang Xiangjin and said urgently.
"Go and meet that Sun Jingluo."
Tang Xiangjin's eyes narrowed slightly, he was not very surprised by the arrival of the Ming army, the Ming army and the Jurchens fought for more than two years, and it took countless expenses, but the result was half done, but he let him pick peaches, if Sun Chengzong is not on fire, then there will be ghosts.
Soon, Tang Xiangjin came to the south gate with many first-class warriors, and outside the south gate at this time, the battle flag was displayed, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were waiting in formation.
"It turned out to be Sun Jingluo, who has admired the name for a long time!"
Looking at Sun Chengzong and the others who were riding in front of the battle, Tang Xiangjin chuckled and said, "I don't know why Sun Jingluo led the army to my Liaoyang City?"
Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Sun Chengzong's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "This should be asked by the official, do you want to fight with my Ming Dynasty when you occupy my Ming Dynasty's Liaoyang City and Shenyang City?"
"Sun Jingluo's words are wrong."
Hearing this, Tang Xiangjin shook his head and chuckled, "This Shenyang City and Liaoyang City were bought by me from the Jurchens at a great price, how come you are Ming?"
"Humph!"
Sun Chengzong snorted coldly and said, "This Liaodong was attacked by the Jurchens to capture my Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally my Ming Dynasty's territory."
"Hah! Ha! Hah!!"
At this time, Tang Xiangjin suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Sun Chengzong, are you joking with General Ben?"
"According to what you say, the Ming Dynasty was snatched from the Mongols, and your Ming Dynasty is still the Mongols, so do you want to ask your Ming Emperor to give way, and then invite Lin Dan Khan to enter Beijing and ascend the throne."
"Hah! Ha! Hah!!"
Hearing Tang Xiangjin, Pan Ping and the others on the side laughed out loud.
And Sun Chengzong was squeezed by Tang Xiangjin, and he was suddenly angry, but he couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, after all, Tang Xiangjin was right, the world of all dynasties and dynasties was robbed, if it had to be said who it was, it was estimated that it would have to be traced back to the heads of the three emperors and five emperors.
Now Shenyang City was obtained by Daqi from the Jurchens, so it is naturally Daqi's, and if you want to use righteousness to force Tang Xiangjin and them to give up Liaoyang City, it is a complete joke.
If they want to recapture Liaoyang City, they can only rely on the sword in their hands, but now only after Zhu Youzhen agrees, they can only make a move against Daqi, otherwise making the first move can only make Zhu Youzhen fall into an embarrassing situation of being untrustworthy.
"Let's go!"
Knowing that it would only be humiliating to continue to stay, Sun Chengzong turned around and left with a cold face.
………
On the other side, at this time, a fast horse broke the bustle of the capital, and at the same time made the entire cabinet become dead silent.
Shenyang City and Liaoyang City have fallen into the hands of Pseudo-Qi!
In the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Wu Zongda, Zheng Yiwei, and Xu Guangqi held Sun
The notebooks sent by Chengzong and Ma Jia whip are like holding hot potatoes one by one.
Who did not know that since the Acropolis of Haizhou was taken, Zhu Youzhen was full of confidence in recapturing Liaodong, and now he took this notebook to Zhu Youzhen to see, and it is estimated that the consequences are unpredictable.
After a long time, Zhou Yanru said bitterly, "Go see Your Majesty."
Sun Chengzong's recital has already been sent, they have no choice at all, if they don't send it to Zhu Youzhen, then when things get bigger, they will have to move their heads one by one.
…
Qianqing Palace.
Looking at the notebook handed over by Zhou Yanru, Zhu Youzhen's face turned blue and purple, and his whole face was like a marquee.
A moment later, Zhu Youzhen suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then the whole person collapsed on the desk.
"Emperor!"
Seeing this, Wang Chengen hurriedly helped Zhu Youzhen up, and screamed, "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Tell the Imperial Doctor!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhou Yanru and a few people also hurriedly surrounded him.
It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to hurriedly come to the Qianqing Palace to administer Zhu Youzhen with an injection, but he didn't see Zhu Youzhen wake up for a long time.
"Imperial Doctor Zhang, why hasn't Your Majesty woken up yet?"
Seeing that Zhu Youzhen hadn't woken up for a long time, Zhou Yanru hurriedly looked at Zhang Yi, although Zhu Youzhen was a little mean, but he finally figured out Zhu Youzhen's mind and got Zhu Youzhen's trust, he didn't want Zhu Youzhen to have an accident.
"Alas......
Hearing Zhou Yanru's words, Zhang Yi sighed and said, "Your Majesty often stays up late, and works hard for the government, and he was already exhausted before, but now that he has been hit, he can't bear it all of a sudden, and I'm afraid it will take a while to wake up."
