Chapter 32 Shang Kexi: This king couldn't defeat Manchuria back then, could it be that he can't beat your Ming army now?
Wu Xiang and his third son, Wu Sanfu, really thought so.
They are now eager to skin their son (second brother) and cramp them.
If you don't bring this, it's okay to let your soldiers come to Beijing to pick them up in advance before you defect, but you can't pick them up, just defect directly?
The eldest Wu Sanfeng descended to the Qing Dynasty early, and the second Wu Sangui was a top franchisee who joined the Manchu Qing Dynasty and was directly crowned king.
They all went to enjoy the blessings, leaving the two of them in Beijing City, trembling under the butcher's knife of the great tomorrow.
Rebel, rebel!
Wu Xiangqi's beard trembled.
If he really didn't die this time, he would definitely lead the three thousand family members who stayed in Beijing, leaping horses and carrying guns, and kill him fiercely!
As for also going to surrender to the Qing Dynasty? If Emperor Chongzhen was still in power, then Wu Xiang would definitely surrender.
But Wu Xiang has seen the old things of Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Yongle and Emperor Jiajing, so he naturally understands that the Ming Dynasty can send a steady stream of heavenly soldiers.
They have no ancestral manifestations.
If he could, Wu Xiang would resolutely choose to kill his relatives in righteousness, and cut off Wu Sangui's head ruthlessly to express his loyalty!
Zhu Houxi sat on the dragon chair and looked at the father and son.
Although Wu Xiang is old, he still looks powerful, and his eyes are shining.
And Wu Sanfu, as Wu Sangui's third brother, is also a big waist and a round waist, and at a glance he knows that he is a fierce general who can charge into battle, but ...... After all, it is the family of the big traitor Wu Sangui.
Zhu Houxi held a pair of jade pearls in his hand, looked at Wu Sanfu and Wu Xiang, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said: "Yes, isn't your Wu family still have 3,000 family members who can fight well, I'm afraid it's not the Yiding Tucai who retreated from the front line of Guanning, and it will be incorporated into the cavalry sequence of our dynasty and the Hongwu Dynasty, and the two of you will immediately go to the Fubo camp under General Yu's account to obey the order." ”
"Yes!"
Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly received the order, and then retreated into the military attache array, but they only dared to stay in the last row, and tried their best to lower their heads, not wanting to attract any attention.
For this pair of father and son, although they are Wu Sangui's father and brother, Wu Sangui can decisively pull the flag and rebel, it can only be said that the ending has been expected a long time ago, and Wu Xiang can be regarded as a small loyal minister, after all, two months ago, that is, at the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Wu Xiang to talk and asked about the number of soldiers and food. He told Chongzhen that their old Wu family had 3,000 brave warriors, and they were all composed of Wu Xiang's children, brothers, relatives, etc., who could help defend the city.
Although in history, this Yiding Assault Cavalry did not come in handy at all, the city of Beijing was broken, and Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were killed by Li Zicheng, but at least they told Emperor Chongzhen very frankly, and it also showed from a certain situation that in the case of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui's father and younger brother can be trusted.
Moreover, even if the two of them have bad intentions, it is useless now.
The Yiding Turquoise cavalry will be scattered and incorporated into the cavalry of the Hongwu Dynasty and the Jiajing Dynasty, and Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu will also stay in the Fubo camp, which is the elite of Zhu Houxi, so even if the father and son really have bad intentions, there is nothing to be done.
Regarding the grain and grass in the Beijing division and the salaries of various departments, Zhu Youzhen also had time to speak.
At present, Zhu Youzhen can be said to have a full treasury, with more than 70 million taels of silver enough to spend, and without hesitation, he directly made up for the previous arrears of military salaries to all the troops, and also paid them for an extra year.
The military salary was distributed by the Jinyi Guard, mainly by the Jiajing Dynasty Jinyi Wei Du Commander Luo An was responsible, and the new Jinyi Wei of the Chongzhen Dynasty was responsible for Wang Guoxing to assist Luo An.
Ever since Luo An knew that his descendants were so shameless, he had always kept a straight face and became much more ruthless.
"Retreat!"
With a shout from the eunuch Wang Chengen, this time the early dynasty retreated, and Zhu Houxi also stood up and prepared to leave like a crane.
At this moment, Lu Bing hurried to Zhu Houxi's side in small steps, and bowed to Zhu Houxi: "Your Majesty, Wu Xiang asks to see you." ”
"What's the matter with him?"
Zhu Houxi frowned, and the next moment he waved his hand and said, "Announce him in." ”
Not long after, Lu Bing took Wu Xiang into the palace, and as soon as he entered the hall, Wu Xiang was in tears, bowed on the spot, and kowtowed to Zhu Houxi: "Your Majesty's holy grace, the old minister is unforgettable, and the minister is ......."
Zhu Houxi still wanted to go back to cultivation, and he was too lazy to listen to Wu Xiang say these decent words, so he immediately said: "Let's get down to business." ”
"The minister's family still has 170,000 taels of silver, and he is willing to sacrifice it to His Majesty."
Wu Xiang gritted his teeth, and immediately said: "In addition, the old minister's rebel son still has a concubine who is quite beautiful, the concubine's surname is Chen, her surname is Xing, her name is Yuan, and the words are round and ......."
"A woman's ear, I Ruona Concubine, where is there a woman from a unscrupulous family in the world?"
Zhu Houxi snorted coldly, and then said: "Admiral Wu, put away your little caution, and do things for me with peace of mind, for Wu Sangui's rebellion, I will naturally not hold you responsible, and it is not impossible to pay homage to the prime minister." ”
Hearing Zhu Houxi's words, Wu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and fell to the ground like a soft bone in an instant, shouting for joy.
And Zhu Houxi has little interest in this famous beauty in history.
It's just a fireworks singer, I don't know how many hands I have been played, as an immortal cultivator, Zhu Houxi will not pay attention to such broken flowers and willows.
But this Chen Yuanyuan is also pitiful, let her live, let her do whatever she wants.
And after getting Zhu Houxi's 'promise', Wu Xiang immediately kowtowed and retreated, and then, Xu Da was vigorous, strode in front of Zhu Houxi, and saluted Zhu Houyu: "Your Majesty, the minister studied the map, this Jiannu entered the customs from Shanhaiguan, at least to integrate the army, delay a little time, maybe he would not dare to use this Wu rebel Guanning army, so the minister thought that Jiannu would attack from these directions......"
After Xu Da pointed to the three positions, his brows tightened, and then he said: "Your Majesty, Yongping Mansion is a defensive place on the east side of the Beijing Division, if Jiannu enters the customs, the main force is most likely to go to Yongping Mansion, and Yongping Mansion has a town here, called 'Little Compass Town', which guards the place of Yongping Fortress, if a battalion of elites is deployed here and takes root here, it will cause Jiannu soldiers to attack!" ”
"At that time, our cavalry will be ambushed around the Luan River, and they can attack and kill from the rear, cooperate with the officers and soldiers who are guarding Xiaoluopan Town, and annihilate the enemy here." Xu Da paused and continued, "The enemy army enters the customs at Shanhaiguan, and it will inevitably seize the time, if Yongping Mansion becomes an iron wall, it can be defended by the Yanshan Mountain Range, and the artillery battalion is deployed at a high point, which will inevitably cause a certain blow to Jiannu!" ”
After hearing Xu Da's command, Zhu Houxi looked at the map and felt that it was feasible, and then said: "Order the Fubo battalion to garrison the 'Little Luopan Town', Guo Xun led the elite and Shunming battalions of this dynasty, a total of 20,000 soldiers, to guard Yongping Mansion, and ordered the Shun'an Battalion and Jingying soldiers to garrison Beiping Mansion, echoing Yongping Mansion from afar, and Yongping Mansion must not fall into the hands of the enemy!" ”
Shunming, Shun'an, these two battalions are the military camps formed by the surrender soldiers of the Shun army, which also has a large number of Chongzhen Ming troops, each battalion has 15,000 people, among which there are still some cavalry who have surrendered.
"Ling Hao Shaoqi led 3,000 cavalry of the Shunming battalion, located outside the small compass town, and pretended to lure the enemy. Order the cavalry of Hongwu and Jiajing to prepare to attack! ”
Zhu Houxi took a deep breath, and then said a remark that shocked Xu Da:
"I will drive the expedition in person, sit in Yongping, and inspire the morale of the army!"
……
It has been four days since the Manchus entered the customs.
After entering the customs, the Manchu Ying prince and the lord of the yellow flag Azig and the lord of the blue flag Zierharang, led the king of Zhishun Shang Kexi, the king of Huaishun Geng Zhongming and the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han armies of 30,000 people, as the vanguard army, ready to occupy Yongping Mansion and Beiping Mansion first, and after the army completely passed the customs, it formed an overwhelming momentum against Beijing.
After all, it's not the same as in history.
Historically, after Chongzhen hanged himself, Li Chuang was defeated in a battle with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and fled all the way to Shaanxi, and the main target of the Qing Dynasty was to march westward.
And now, the Ming Dynasty has not yet fallen, and their target is naturally the city of Beijing.
The army was divided, among which the army led by Duoduo and Hauge had gone to Shanxi and Shandong to attack the city, while Dolgon and the main army were in battle, wanting to fight to the death with the Ming army in Beijing.
Shang Kexi led 8,000 soldiers and horses of the Han army in his headquarters as the vanguard army in the vanguard army and opened the way in front.
For the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Bao Yi, their role in fighting is to rush to the front for the Eight Banners to travel and consume the elite of the Ming Army.
After all, the Eight Banners are expensive, the entire Eight Banners are only 318 Niu Lu, and one Niu Lu is only about 300 people, although the nearly 100,000 Eight Banner Niu Lu is numerous, but if it is dead, the Manchu Qing will be wiped out.
Therefore, in this expedition, Dolgon can be said to have poured all the strength of the whole country, a total of 100,000 and 8 banners, and even dispatched more than 70,000 in one go, intending to completely settle in the Northern Dynasty, forcing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to flee to Nanjing, and forming a pattern of confrontation between the north and the south with the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the Han army and the Mongols also had 70,000 or 80,000 people, although their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Manchurian Eight Banners, but now the Manchus had no troops available, so they could only rely on them.
Shang Kexi sat on the horse, looking at the uninhabited land around him, as well as the Yongping Mansion in the distance, his mood was extremely relaxed and happy, and the money rat braid behind him was flicked one by one, and his appearance was quite ugly.
Back then, he was framed by Shen Shikui and surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and after ten years of swallowing his anger, he finally came back!
Although, he returned as the king of Zhishun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
But it doesn't matter, he wants to conquer Beijing for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and personally go to the city to ask Emperor Chongzhen, why did he listen to slander, why did he squeeze Zhongliang?
Well, although he is not considered loyal now, and his hands are stained with the blood of countless Han Chinese, but so what? Now that the Eight Banners have entered the customs, who are the opponents of those rotten Han people? !
He had already seen the dragon of the Eight Banners fluttering in the city of Beijing.
"Lord Wang! The undercover agent in the city came to report that the gate of Yongping Mansion was closed, and a large number of Ming troops were stationed in Yongping Mansion three days ago, and a large number of horse hooves also appeared around, and it was suspected that cavalry passed by. ”
At this point, the spies came to report.
The sound of the spy made Shang Kexi a little surprised, and after he pondered for a while, he immediately ordered: "The whole army listens to my orders, prepares for the siege, and sends people to persuade them to surrender first...... There are no famous generals in this Yongping Mansion, and few people in the Ming army are willing to work for Emperor Chongzhen. ”
"Wow!"
The Han army flag scout immediately received the order, and when he left, another Pegasus came to report: "Lord, twenty miles away found traces of the Ming army, the enemy general's banner is erected with the word 'Yu', the number of people is unknown, the number of people should not exceed seven thousand, the whole army is arrayed, stationed in Xiaoluopan Town!" ”
"Yu Zi?"
Shang Kexi thought about it, and didn't seem to think that there were any generals surnamed Yu in the Ming army, so he immediately disdained it, raised his horsewhip, and shouted: "Brothers, take this little compass town for this king!" ”
"This is the first battle to enter the customs, and after the matter is completed, the regent will be rewarded with countless rewards!"
Listening to Shang Kexi's voice, the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the accompanying soldiers were all in high spirits and gearing up.
They surrendered because they couldn't defeat the Manchu Eight Banners.
Now, facing the Ming army, naturally everyone is like a wolf.
We can't beat the Eight Banners, and we can't beat the Ming Army?
Who hasn't been a Ming army, fighting their own people, then we are the best at it!
"Array, march!"
