Chapter 275: The Fooled Mang Gurtai
However, from the beginning of the Battle of Guangning, the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty suddenly awakened, like a divine help, to promote the good and eliminate the disadvantages, and the war in Liaodong gradually reversed the decline.
From small victories to big victories, from holding the fortress to taking the initiative, from passively being beaten to pressing step by step, Jiannu has been forced to the brink of defeat in a few years.
Including Nurhachi, Li Yongfang, Fan Wencheng and others felt it more obviously. If they knew the buzzwords of later generations, they would definitely shout "this is not scientific" and "this girl is hanging".
Barbarians know the science of a fart? I'm really hanging up, I know 500 years before, 500 years after I know, I know how many shit you guys pull when you raise your ass!
If Nurhachi and the others knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was so powerful, I don't know if they would immediately lose their fighting spirit and kneel down and shout "Dad".
Even hardcore traitors like Li Yongfang and Fan Wencheng have seen the irreversible decline of Houjin. Unless there is some miracle, such as the sudden death of the Ming Emperor or something.
Apparently, their lucky hopes were dashed. Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty is not only alive, but also wants to live it for another 500 years!
Standing at the head of Shenyang City, Mang Gurtai was expressionless, watching the army go away, then lowered his eyes, patted the cold city wall, turned around and staggered down the city.
Even this rude fellow realized the difficulty of this expedition and the bleakness of the future, and returned to the house sullenly.
Before the butt could sit down, someone came to report, and Sangege sent someone to pay a visit.
Sangege is Mang Gurtai's own sister, Nurhachi's third daughter Mang Guji.
As soon as his father Khan led his army to the battle, the people arrived at the palace, and Mang Gurtai knew that it must not be a coincidence, but that there was a secret matter to avoid many eyes and ears.
If you want to say that you are a brother and sister, there was originally a Derge class, but unfortunately she was killed in battle, and only Mang Gurtai and Mang Guji were left.
ordered his henchmen to monitor and guard outside, and Mang Gurtai let people in.
"The minion cold monk machine meets the five beylers." When a person comes into the house, he salutes.
Seeing that the people who came to know each other, Mang Gurji completely relaxed, waved his hand and said, "Get up!" ”
Leng Monk stood up after completing the salute, took out a letter and presented it, and bowed to the side.
This Leng Monk Ji is a member of the Yehe Tribe, when the Ao Han Department Sonomu came to attach, Shang Mang Guji was the forehead, and the Leng Monk Ji followed Mang Guji to Kaiyuan, that is, Mang Guji's house slave.
Mang Gurtai knew that Leng Monk Ji was his sister's henchman, and since he was sent to deliver the letter, he could be trusted. Moreover, looking at the timing of Leng Monk's visit to the mansion, he also knew that this guy was quite cunning and scheming.
In the letter, Mangguji wanted to reconfirm whether his father Khan had really appointed Dorgon as his heir, and believed that it was a time when the Houjin was in turmoil, and it was not appropriate to engage in infighting.
Moreover, Mangguji thought that her husband Zonom was cowardly and timid, and most of them did not dare to participate in major events, and did not tell him this.
The reason why Mang Gurtai wanted to seek his sister's help was not because he valued the Ao Han Department of Zonom, but because his sister's second son-in-law was Yue Zhen, and he was in-law with Dabel Daishan.
According to the analysis and judgment given to him by Huang Taiji, the Great Belle Daishan must not be willing to be given the throne by Dolgon, who is only a teenager, and with the banner led by Yue Zhen, the two red flags will at least be neutral.
Although the Zhenglan Banner was taken away by Nurhachi from Mang Gurtai, many of the generals of the Zhenglan Banner still tended to be Mang Gurtai.
Huang Taiji thought that the Zhengbai Banner would also be recaptured from Azig by virtue of his prestige. In this way, they will be able to outperform the little brothers of Azig, Dorgon, and Dordor in terms of strength.
According to Huang Taiji's plan, once Father Khan dies, the three major Baylors should sit on an equal footing and take turns to govern. That's right, without Amin, there are only three stupid forks left.
Anyway, Huang Taiji's analysis is the first way, and Mang Gurtai also thinks it is quite feasible.
As for the ensuing war with the Ming Kingdom, Huang Taiji thought that peace could be negotiated, or retreat north. Anyway, it's not infighting now, it's all arranged just in case after a hundred years of Father Khan!
Solidarity? Yes, of course! Dakin's situation is so bad, wouldn't it be even worse to pass on the sweat throne to that little kid of Dolgon? For the sake of our big gold, we need our three Baylors to come forward.
Mang Gurtai has always admired the resourceful eighth brother, and what he said makes sense!
After the crippled leg, Mang Gurtai's mentality has changed greatly. It turned out that he was just dissatisfied with his father Khan's promotion of the four little beylers and depriving him of the position of banner master, and even resented Huang Taiji for having half of Ye He's blood on his body.
But under the persuasion of the skillful Huang Taiji, this reckless man embarked on a dangerous path without knowing it.
After reading the letter, Mang Gurtai was not very satisfied, frowned slightly and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "How many people and horses are there in Kaiyuan, can the city be strong?" ”
Leng Seng Ji hurriedly replied: "Wubeile must also know about the Khan's transfer of troops and horses from various places, and there are only a few thousand soldiers in Kaiyuan, and many of them are temporarily recruited to supplement. ”
After a pause, Leng Seng Ji added: "The Horqin Department has fallen, the northern barrier has been lost, and Sangege and Elu are still very worried that the Ming army or the Mongolian tribes will attack!" ”
Manggultai scratched his head, knowing that this was the case.
Not to mention Kaiyuan, it is now Shenyang, which is claimed to have five or six thousand people to defend, but how many elites are left, mixed with how many old soldiers and young soldiers have been added in?
The victory or defeat was in one fell swoop, and the old slave was also out of the way.
Of course, he also calculated, thinking that the Ming army got the news and mobilized men and horses to attack and contain it, and it would take a lot of time to attack the city and fight to Shenyang, which should be enough for him to defeat the Ming army and then return to help.
However, his calculations were based on the victory over the Ming army in southern Liaoning. If it fails, then there is nothing to say, Liao Shen can't keep it, hurry up and run!
Mang Gurtai's head was full of water, and he couldn't think of any plan. He first arranged for Leng Seng to stay, and he sent someone to call Ma Mingpei to come to discuss.
Fan Wencheng, Luo Xiujin, and Ma Mingpei all descended to Houjin with all their lives, and served Houjin loyally, and they should be traitors No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3.
And Ma Mingpei was arranged by Huang Taiji by Mang Gurtai's side, and he also knew that the fifth brother was simple-minded and had no strategy.
……………………
After receiving the information that Jiannu launched a large-scale campaign, Xiong Tingbi immediately reported to all armies. From western Liaoning, southern Liaoning, and eastern Liaoning, the Ming armies of all departments immediately took action and launched operations in accordance with the general strategic arrangement.
This point was overlooked by Nurhachi, who did not expect that the Ming army was ready. He just doesn't move, and the Ming army will also start a counteroffensive.
Since he didn't know, Nurhachi naturally moved forward according to the established plan.
"The Ming army is still building camps and villages, and Haicheng has been completely surrounded." Traveling to Liaoyang, Nurhachi received a military report from the front line and couldn't help but groan.
The best time to attack should be when the Ming army was not breaking the siege and the people were sleepy, but the stability of the Ming army made Nurhachi hesitate and hesitate.
