Due to the high mountain and the long road, Huang Taiji still didn't know what Amin was doing.

He felt that if he wanted to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, he had to learn from the Qingtian master in the opera, open the door, and listen to the people's and military feelings.

Therefore, Huang Taiji specially set up a yamen in Zunhua City, and set up drums outside to encourage the people to appeal for grievances.

Very soon, the first grievance came.

An old Mongolian man walked in tremblingly and knelt down and kowtowed to Huang Taiji.

"What's your name? And what are the grievances? ”

Huang Taiji asked.

"The slave's name is Abang, and he is a poor herdsman in Horqin."

Abang said: "Follow Master Noyan Ming'an, and follow the Great Khan to conquer the Ming Dynasty." ”

Hearing Abang's explanation of the origin, Huang Taiji was about to continue asking.

Unexpectedly, Abang said to himself: "God is pitiful, I am too old to fight. But Master Nuoyan said that he couldn't reduce his prestige, so he forced me to come with my son Ah Hai. ”

Ahai, at first glance, is the name of the Great Khan of Karaqin. But the Han Chinese have many the same names, not to mention the Mongols.

"You ......"

Huang Taiji originally wanted to say that you have any grievances, but Abang continued to chatter.

"Great Khan, my son Ah Hai and I were forced to charge by the Lord of the Eight Banners in the battle of Zunhua City.

I'm too old to crawl. As soon as I climbed the ladder, I fell down.

However, my son Ah Hai, who was blessed by the immortal heaven, was blessed by misfortune and ascended before the Han people in the north of the city opened the door.

None of the eight banners of the two yellow flags answered my son, and as a result, my son was hacked to death by the Ming army on the city tower.

I heard that the Great Khan rewarded the first warriors, and I wanted to ask for some reward for my son, so that I could ask a lama to recite the sutras and surpass my son's soul.

However, the lords of the two yellow flags both said that the Great Khan watched the sky at night, and our army would have zero casualties, and my son died on the city tower, which was unfavorable to the Great Khan's prophecy, and pressed me to prevent me from seeing the Great Khan.

When I saw that the Great Khan had set up a yamen, I dared to come in, and I beg you to give me some reward, that I may give my poor son a soul that will be overdue. ”

Huang Taiji was already a little impatient, but after hearing such a long sentence, the more he listened, the more serious his expression became.

After Abang finished speaking, Huang Taiji got up, came to Abang's face, and personally helped him up.

"Your son ascended first but no one reported the merits, this is not to blame for the two yellow flags, it is all to blame for not making it clear in advance, the Mongolian soldiers and the Eight Banners enjoy the same military merit treatment."

Huang Taiji said: "As a warrior who ascended first, I will give you a camel, a python satin, and nineteen brocade horses......"

"Thank you for the grace of the Great Khan."

Before Huang Taiji finished speaking, Abang was already so excited that he burst into tears.

"Also, in view of the fact that your family is very poor, Ben Khan gave you two hundred pieces of cloth, ten oxen, and ten horses."

Huang Taiji learned wisely this time, and directly interrupted his words: "Promote you to prepare for the emperor, hereditary replacement." ”

"Xie Da Khan ......"

Abang knelt down excitedly: "Even if I die, I will repay the Great Khan for his kindness to me." ”

As soon as this matter spread, many people immediately came to the yamen to complain to Huang Taiji.

After verification, Huang Taiji handled them one by one.

For example, he personally shot a Korqin cavalry who was plundering the people with a Ming Di.

In this way, the image of the local people towards Huang Taiji has been greatly changed.

Huang Taiji felt that the time was ripe to attack Jizhou.

So, he called Yue Xuan.

"The people in Zunhua City have gradually joined Dajin, but there are many people in the city."

Huang Taiji said: "It's not enough to rely on Ying Erdai to guard it, but also need a Han official to assist him."

I really can't think of a suitable candidate, so you can recommend one to me. ”

"There's a good guy right now."

Yue Zhen thought for a moment and said.

"Oh? Who is it! ”

"This person's name is Li Sizhong, and he is a descendant of Li Chengliang's younger brother. During the Battle of Tieling, the old Khan wanted to recruit several of the Li disciples of Tieling, but they all preferred to die in battle than surrender. ”

Yue Zhi said: "Until a few years ago, Li Chengliang's family was slandered by the Ming Court as our internal response, and this Li Sizhong was desperate to invest in our Dajin.

Now that he has accumulated merit to become a guerrilla, he can assist Yingordai in defending the city. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and approved Yue Zhen's recommendation.

On February 11 of the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally led the army to leave Zunhua, first attacked Santun camp, and then approached Jizhou.

Santun Camp is the real gateway to Jizhen, stationed a considerable number of Ming soldiers.

However, Zhu Guoyan was unable to recover Zunhua City, and he couldn't even defend the Santun camp.

What's more, the soldiers of the Santun camp heard that the Houjin army was attacking and fled without a fight.

Zhu Guoyan committed suicide in despair.

Huang Taiji saw that what was he doing with this division of troops, and directly marched the whole army to Jizhou.

At the same time, Yang Chengying was also leading his army to Quang Ninh City.

It turned out that due to Amin's "desperate plan", many Houjin generals from Han Chinese who guarded the fort surrendered without a fight.

Yang Chengying smoothly led the army and approached the city of Guangning.

Quang Ninh, which used to be the garrison of the Liaodong General Military Palace, has a tall city wall.

The Houjin general who guarded Quang Ninh was none other than Babutai, the concubine who was not treated by Nurhachi.

In terms of the ability to fight, Babutai is on the level of ordinary people.

Seeing the Golden State Army, he could only pessimistically choose passive defense.

After the army came to the city, Yang Chengying sent people to send the proclamation of surrender into the city with arrows, and on the other hand, he sent people to organize the people to build forts outside the city to facilitate the erection of Hongyi cannons.

War, it's so unpretentious and boring!

Looking at the tall city wall in the distance, Yang Chengying squinted his eyes and looked up at the outline of the sun, and said to Huang Long: "How long do you estimate it will take to build the fort?" ”

"About three days."

"Three days?"

"Yes, this is the most annoying time, the snow has just melted, a stone has several layers of thin mud, careless handling, and the fort built is not reliable."

"Be careful, we're not in a hurry."

What Yang Chengying is most worried about is that his subordinates are catching up with the progress and doing everything that is not bad. A subtle mistake can lead to a crash.

Especially the construction of forts.

With the improvement of shooting technology, the use of artillery is no longer limited to attacking. Instead, according to the design of the city, calculate how to place the artillery position, so that the concentration of firepower can be optimized.

"Dashuai, there are special guests who ask to see Dashuai."

Zheng Zhi Longyu reports.

"Invite him." Yang Chengying was a little curious.

Then, I watched Zheng Zhilong lead a middle-aged strong man with a Chinese character face and Mongolian hairstyle.

Yang Chengying hurriedly asked the guards to call the translator over.

After the translation arrived, Yang Chengying asked, "What's your name?" Which tribe of Mongolia is it? ”

The interpreter told the man in Mongolian.

After listening to this, the man said a lot in Mongolian.

The translator memorized the words firmly, turned his head to Yang Chengying, and said, "Dashuai, he said that he is the envoy of the Karaqin Wulianghai tribe Tabu Nangsubudi. I heard that the Ming army was besieging Guangning City, and I came to visit. ”

"It turned out to be Daming's Duo Yanwei."

Yang Chengying asked: "I heard that the Mongolian tribes have gathered Huang Taiji and have become a vassal of Huang Taiji, why did they suddenly find me?" ”
