Chapter 456: The World Returns to the Yuan III

When Huang Taiji woke up again, the night was already dark, and he turned his head to see a Han woman waiting beside him: "What time is it?" ”

"Your Majesty was in a hurry, and I fell asleep for more than three hours, and now there are still about two minutes before the hour."

Huang Taiji hurriedly sat up, summoned Goshha, and then brought Ning Wan and me all the others, and held a meeting in the Yamen of the Funing General Army.

Before Huang Taiji arrived, the Eight Banners who arrived first made a fuss, and a solid mountain with a yellow flag really said that he was angry, and he sprinkled his anger on Ning Wan.

"Rather finish me, what bad idea did you give me Daqing? The Ming people are good at attacking cities, but how many of the Han army banners under my command of the Qing Dynasty can't defend the city? What's more, the city of Beijing is impregnable, with the Han army to defend the city, and my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry from the flanks of both wings, even if you can't wait for the reinforcements of the Mongols, it is enough to defeat the Ming people;

It's good for you to co-author Fan Wencheng into deceiving my Majesty to give up Beijing City and return to Liaodong, look at it, what has become of it now? ”

Saying this, Gushan Ezhen drew out a long knife: "Lao Tzu has long suspected that you were a false surrender back then, and today I will definitely kill you to avenge my dead Eight Banners." ”

As he spoke, he was about to make a move, so frightened that I hurriedly dodged around, but fortunately, Ji'er Harang, who was close to me, knew about big things, and grabbed the real wrist and said: "Bai Shuqi, now is not the time for infighting, all decisions are left to Your Majesty to judge, what do you care?" ”

"What for?" Huang Taiji listened to the whole process, and walked out of the lobby at this moment: "Bai Shuqi, you want to rebel?" ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji came out, Gushan Zhenbai Shuqi put away the knife, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, now my Eight Banners are trapped in the pass, and there is no news from King Su's side, if the Ming people don't chase after it, forget it, if they chase after it, how can this be good?" ”

Zilharang took the lead and said: "Don't be so pessimistic, now Shanhaiguan City is still in my hands, and our army is full of cavalry, if you really want to break through, the Ming army can't intercept it all, so the choice is in our hands, but the Ming army, if they really want to go their own way, we might as well follow the strategy of the time when the Mongols were pacified." ”

Manzhu Xili and Kitat immediately felt blushing, the reason why they suffered defeat at the hands of the Manchurians was also because they were even more powerful in cavalry than themselves.

Huang Taiji nodded, feeling that Ji'er Harang's words were still reasonable, so he said: "It's no problem to choose like this, but how can I choose the hundreds of thousands of my Eight Banners family?" ”

Ning Wan I spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, Su Wen Chen Cao is more benevolent in Jinling, and treats the people very well, whether it is Han or not, basically they are educated and classless, to put it mildly, if it really comes to that point, it is not a bad thing to let the Eight Banners family surrender to the Ming army, at least they are all old and weak women and children, Chen Cao will definitely not be ruthless." ”

Huang Taiji thought for a long time before he spoke in front of everyone: "Until the last resort, the Eight Banners family must not be abandoned." ”

"Your Majesty is merciful..."

"Your Majesty," I said again, "Funing is not enough to accommodate our army, we must go to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible, as long as the surrounding passes are in the hands of our army, we are not afraid of being completely surrounded by the Ming army." ”

"Okay," Huang Taiji took a deep breath: "The whole army immediately set off at Shanhaiguan, leaving some men and horses here to meet the families of the rear army." ”

...

That night, fifteen miles outside the Shanhaiguan Pass, the two commanders of the 1st and 2nd Group Armies and the division commanders below all gathered in a big tent.

At this time, Weng Linzhi began to deploy combat missions: "According to His Majesty's plan, our army must strictly block all the passes, the 58th Division captured Loess Ridge, the 59th Division and the 60th Division respectively besieged the Dongjiakou Great Wall and the Yiyuankou Great Wall, and the 57th Division seized the Sandaoguan;

In addition, Commander Cao and our troops jointly attacked Balipu, and the 54th Division attacked Tiechang Fort, striving to form an encirclement of Shanhaiguan before nine o'clock in the morning; ”

Saying that, Weng Linzhi looked at everyone with a serious expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is determined to destroy the Jianzhou Jurchens in this battle, and there must be no accidents, a group of people who were knighted in the early stage have begun to be prominent, can our group tremble at the last moment, just watch the battle of Shanhaiguan, remember, the defense area I arranged to go down must be defended urgently, and when the war begins, each division commander will make his own decision;

But I still say the same thing, if the Tartars run away from whose defense area, you will bear the responsibility yourself, and when the time comes, others will be hereditarily knighted, and everyone will be a colleague, but you will not even fall into the fifth-class seal, this face is lost but your own face, all of them..."

Boom...

The leather boots kicked together, all with serious expressions, and Weng Linzhi shouted: "Start acting immediately." ”

"Yes..."

Weng Linzhi's identity is not simple, although it is two group armies acting together, but after the real battle, Cao Bianjiao also has to listen to Weng Linzhi's arrangement, this is also at the last moment of the war He took out the letter that Chen Cao had already given for all of them to see, after all, it is the last big battle, and he can't be sloppy at all.

Cao Bianjiao is not very old, and being able to become the commander of an army is also all thanks to the blessing of his uncle Cao Wenzhao, who accompanied Chen Cao to see Nurhachi in Liaodong back then, and this kind of youthful courage planted a good image in Chen Cao's heart.

Therefore, after Weng Linzhi took out the secret letter, Cao Bianjiao was mentally prepared, and there was no psychological gap commanded by Weng Linzhi at all.

At three o'clock in the morning, the battle officially began, except for the three divisions that went to the Great Wall to encircle them, which were still marching rapidly, and all the other passes outside the Shanhai Pass were fighting.

The rumbling of gunfire was particularly harsh at night in the quiet of Shanhaiguan City.

After Huang Taiji entered Shanhaiguan at night, he heard the rumbling explosion outside the pass not long after, from far and near, which made him extremely uncalm in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army has launched attacks on key passes such as Tiechang Fort, Balipu, Sandaoguan, and Loess Ridge."

This is the first wave of news, Huang Taiji felt that the situation was urgent, so he immediately took advantage of the night to convene Ning Wan and I and others to discuss the matter, and finally decided to immediately send troops to reinforce the two places closest to Shanhaiguan, Loess Ridge and Balipu.

When the tens of thousands of cavalry were ready, a sudden heavy rain disrupted everyone's position, and a fast horse rushed in the rainy night, and saw the hooves of the horses in front of him, only to find that a large number of cavalry had been gathered outside the pass.

"I came from Balipu, the Ming army captured Balipu, Loess Ridge and other places were lost, quickly report to the general army..."

In charge of leading the team were Nikan and the lieutenant general Ilden, who were about to lead 5,000 cavalry each to reinforce these two extremely important passes.

Nikan grabbed the person and shouted angrily: "I am the chief soldier Beizi Nikan, and say, what is the situation ahead?" ”

"I've seen Beizi," the person hurriedly knelt down: "Beizi, the Ming army launched an attack on my various fortresses after Zishi, they are numerous, and the actual strength of our army scouts in advance is not in line, I think it must be the Ming army to cover up the traces, they are numerous, it is estimated that at least forty or fifty thousand more, the slave ran back from Balipu to report the news, when the slave left, the Ming army's foot soldiers have rushed to the gate of Balipu. ”

Nikan looked at Ilden: "You quickly lead the troops to Balipu to investigate the situation, if there is anything wrong with me, return immediately, and I will go and inform Your Majesty." ”

As Huang Taiji learned the news of the loss of the various fortresses outside the gate, he didn't say a word, just waved his hand to let Nikan go to prepare for the war, and when there was no one, he looked at Ning Wan who was standing in front of him: "How can Mr. teach me?" ”

Ning Wan sighed, this situation seems to be the scene when they just entered the customs, but now that they have rotated, they have become 'victims'.

"Your Majesty, the trapped beasts are still fighting, the minister suggested that Your Majesty should leave Shanhaiguan with the elite of the Eight Banners as soon as possible, as long as you can return to Liaodong, you can't go to Jianzhou, and you can also go to Nu'er Gandusi, there are a lot of savage Jurchens over there, and there is a chance to make a comeback."

"Mongols?"

Ning Wan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I was able to conquer Mongolia in Manchuria back then, and it was also based on strength, although the elite of the Eight Banners is built here, once this road is chosen, it is equivalent to fleeing from the wilderness, and the Mongolians see the benefits and forget their righteousness, that is, they have promised benefits, and they will not be the same as before, moreover,"

Ning Wan looked outside the door and made sure that Manzhu Xili and Kitat were not there: "After all, the two tribes are Mongolian tribes, once Ezhe's Chahar tribe unites Mongolia, they still have a chance to choose, that is, they can't be the leader, at least the lives of the two tribes are saved, and it is common to use the means of the Ming people to pull a group to fight a group." ”

"Could it be that at a critical juncture, the Mongols are also distraught?"

Ning Wan I didn't have the initial panic, his heart was already thinking about the consequences of failure, only to see him shake his head gently: "Your Majesty, the words of the Han people, stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, go to Nu'er Gandusi, gather the savage Jurchens, and then go north to Mohe to contact the Cossacks, promising benefits, they have coveted the slaves for a long time, as long as they can help me recapture Liaodong in the Qing Dynasty, what about sending the slaves to them?" ”

Huang Taiji was empowered after listening to it, but as the heir of Nurhachi, he was born very arrogant, and after suffering from the Li family, once he turned over as a serf and sang, where can he go back, especially those Eight Banners family.

Ning Wan saw Huang Taiji's worries, so he said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, weren't the cities of Shenyang and Guangning opened by the Mongols and our own herdsmen who were attached to the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Huang Taiji was so clever that he immediately thought of why Ning Wan would say before that he would let the Eight Banners family surrender to the Ming army, and the original focus was here.

"Sir, Chen Cao really doesn't kill women and children?"
