Chapter 238: Wang Qi Comes in Person, Jurchen Infighting
The cold wind howled, sweeping the already barren and bitter cold of the vast land, as if to freeze all living things.
The whole heaven and earth are cold and dark.
Even the snowflakes are mixed with the wind and frost like knives, cutting people's cheeks painfully.
And the city of Shenyang on the Hunhe Plain seems to be accustomed to wind and frost, and it still stands tenacious.
The news that the Ming army had broken Liaoyang City overnight made countless Jurchens panic.
If it weren't for the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners still in the hands of Dai Shan and others, the entire Shenyang City would have been in chaos a long time ago, and everyone would have fled.
Even Azig was killed in Liaoyang City, tens of thousands of Jurchen troops were annihilated, Erden's cavalry army was defeated by the Ming army with giant bows and crossbows, and even he himself was cut off by the general of the Ming army, and his head was displayed to the public.
Is the sky really going to fall?
Countless people are nostalgic for the Nurhachi era, the invincible Eight Banners of Jianzhou.
No!
should be nostalgic for Wang Qi who did not appear in the previous era.
Shenyang City, the main hall of parliament and politics.
The high-level officials of Houjin gathered in the hall at this time, but no one said a word.
The atmosphere was extremely cold.
Ahem!!
Half an hour later, Dai Shan's voice sounded in the main hall:
"Three days ago, the Ming general Qin Erbao attacked Liaoyang City at night, Azig died in the city, Erden led the army to fight, and also died, the blue flag has been lost here, and the red flag has also lost seventy percent, the war on the Western Front has been completely defeated, and the defense line is untenable."
"Two days ago, the Ming general Cao Wenzhao led more than 10,000 troops, brazenly attacked our Dongzhou Fort, Fengji, and Fushun Station, because our army has shrunk to Shenyang, so the outer fortresses and outposts have almost no effective resistance, and they are easily breached, so far, the eastern defense line is declared defeated."
"A day ago, the Ming general Lu Xiangsheng led more than 1,000 Ming troops, combined with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Horqin grassland, destroyed Changshan Pass and entered Liaodong, and attacked my Yulin Fort, Pingyu Fort, and the first line of Puhe. The northern front was also defeated. β
"At present, it is time for life and death," Dai Shan continued to speak: "We must also be united as one, and we must not have objections at both ends!" How is it? β
His eyes swept over everyone, and this Jurchen Prince seemed to want to see, at this time, who dared to jump out. Against yourself.
Being watched by Dai Shan's gaze, Dolgon and Duoduo all bowed their heads and shrank their heads, not daring to look back slightly.
The Jurchen high-ranking generals Wei Qi, and Erdan and others also bowed their heads.
It has always been said that the outside must be safe first!
At this time, there can be no civil strife.
Click!!
Dai Shan's eyes stared, looking at the source of the sound, and the rest of the people in the hall also looked at it.
"Well, at this time, I don't want to think about how to deal with the impending catastrophe, but Prince Li is here to say these things that everyone knows, what does it mean?" Zilharang's tiger eyes opened, his eyebrows raised, and he was a little dissatisfied that Dai Shan was still talking some nonsense at this time!
Zilharang!
Prince Zheng, who is known for his fiery temper, finally stood up.
"Prince Zheng, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly," Dai Shanpi replied with a smile.
"If you can't stick to one place, stick to Shenyang City, you will definitely die!" Zilharang said: "At this time, we must boost our momentum!" Can't let people be crushed in a lonely city, passively beaten, in the ice and snow, I can't hold on for long! β
"However, the Ming army will not last long," Wei Qi said at this moment, wanting to refute Zilharang's words.
After all, everyone here knows that the primary issue now is not whether they can defend the city, but to unite as one, and it cannot be said that Wang Qi has not yet arrived, and all of them will fall apart and start attacking each other.
"Knowing that he won't last long, why don't you fight?" Zilharang stood up and said, "Is your head buried in the city, your ass exposed, waiting for the enemy to stab you in pair?" β
"You, Prince Zheng" Wei Qi was scolded by Zierharang, his face was angry, but it was not good to attack.
"We also support Prince Zheng's meaning, why do we always have to be beaten passively, the plain cavalry combat is what we are good at, but defending the city is our weakness, why use my weakness to fight against the enemy's strengths?"
The Jurchen high-level on the side of Zilharang, there was also Gushan, and the general at the commanding level stood up and echoed.
"I have seen the combat power of the Ming army attacking Liaoyang City, and it is not that we can defeat it," Wei Qi shook his head, and still spoke, but his tone had become low: "That Erden ignored the dissuasion and led the cavalry under his command to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, but it was a self-defeating road, and now."
Wei Qi also got up slowly, and confronted Ji'er Harang-for-tat: "How can you let Prince Zheng repeat the mistakes of the past?" β
"How dare you insult me?" Zilharang was like a powder keg, it exploded at one point, and was ridiculed by Wei Qi, and he immediately drew a knife from his waist, but anyone who went to the palace had to remove the weapon, and after touching it for a long time at the moment, he didn't find the weapon, and he was already angry, so he picked up the teacup full of boiling tea on the table, and threw it in the direction of Wei Qi: "Death for this king!" β
Bang!!!
The wine hurt his body, and Ji'er Harang's head was a little worse, and he threw out the teacup and was dodged by Wei Qi sideways, knocking on the pillar of the temple not far away, and the porcelain pieces splashed and shattered to the ground.
Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire hall was already tense, as if in the next second, they were going to beat each other on the spot.
Court children's play, in fact, the big guys, without the power and prestige, are no different from the small market.
"Lord Wang, that Wang Qi and his people, I don't know where it is now, you have to lead the troops to fight against the Ming army, what is the difference between that and sending him to death?" Wei Qi also let go at this moment, and arched his hand to everyone and said: "If Wang Khan is here, I guess I won't let you be so reckless!" β
"You are also worthy of mentioning my imperial uncle?" Zilharang was furious, if he hadn't been pulled by everyone, he would have immediately gone up and tore Wei Qi apart: "If Uncle Huang is here, how can my Dajin end up in this world?" β
Zilharang turned his head and said to Dai Shan, who was sitting there without saying a word: "You tell Dai Shan, is this the truth?" β
"What? Sixth, listen to what you mean, you want to go to Fuling and invite his old man out? β
Dai Shan stared at this cousin with an unkind expression, and his tone became dangerous: "Now that the enemy is present, it is better to be so disregarding the overall situation and insisting on going his own way, don't blame me for being disregardful!" β
"You" Zilharang was already furious at this time: "Just because you alone have the three banners, you dare to kill me?" Jianzhou men can only die in battle, never cowardly! You're here to kill me! Come and kill me! β
Crunch !!
The armrests of the chair have been pinched by Dai Shan, and you can imagine the anger in your heart.
The atmosphere was so powerful that Dolgon on the side was already trembling
"Report !!"
At this moment, a long shout came from outside the hall.
interrupted the tension in the hall.
"What?" Hearing this, Dolgon immediately got up and beckoned to the outside of the hall: "Come in quickly!" β
Zilharang sneered and glanced at Daishan and sat back in his chair.
Dai Shan also suppressed the anger in his heart, exhaled heavily, and removed his hand from the armrest.
Seeing that the two of them were no longer tense, the hearts of all the people in the hall could be put down, if there was a high-level infighting at this time, everything would be over.
"What's the military briefing?" Dai Shan looked at the guards kneeling in the hall with a cold face.
The guard held a report in his hand and held it high above his head: "An hour ago, Fengji Fort reported that it was suspected that Wang Qi's Chinese army appeared in the area of more than 30 miles south of Fengji Fort, and there were only more than 100 attachΓ©s. At present, the situation is unknown, and he did not dare to act rashly, so he reported to Shenyang City and asked the kings to make a decision."
Wang Qi's trace?
In the last second, Dai Shan's expression was still cold, and when the word Wang Qi came out, his pupils had shrunk suddenly, and a stream of cold air rushed from the soles of his feet to the Tianling Gai.
With a bang, Dai Shan got up too quickly, and directly knocked over the chair behind him: "How to determine where Wang Qi's Zhongjun is?" Submit the report quickly! β
Without waiting for the next person to take it, Dai Shan had already stepped forward, three steps and two steps, snatched the battle report from the hands of the guards, hurriedly dismantled it, and looked down: more than 100 people of the personal guards, all of them are fine armor and gorgeous clothes, the soldiers of a hundred battles, divided into two groups of guards and patrols, the people in the center are tightly guarded in the central position, there are no several times the soldiers, and they are categorically not sure to take it, the scout cavalry is far away for several hours, it is all the way from the direction of the Weining camp to Fengji Fort, the team is not slow, and there are constantly reports from the northeast and west in the middle, And then again. It's like moving the center.
"A team of more than 100 people?" Almost subconsciously, Dai Shan's breathing became a little short.
It is very likely that Wang Qi is right now under his nose, and there is only such a small escort team around him!
God help me?
But is there any fraud in it?
In the next second, Dai Shan began to hesitate: I'm afraid this will be Wang Qi's plan to lure the enemy into sending troops, right?
How wise and close to the demon, Wang Qi, who has no mistakes, would make such a low-level mistake?
Putting yourself in danger?
"Lord Wang?" Wei Qi stepped forward, and there was a kind of nervousness about gains and losses: "Is it really Wang Qi and his people who came to Fengji Fort in person??" β
"Let's take a look," Dai Shan hesitated, handed the letter in his hand to Wei Qi, then turned around and sat down in a chair, silently pondering.
In a short time, the whole hall was buzzing and chaotic.
Everyone expressed their opinions and thoughts.
"God help me! This king will lead his troops out of the city, and if he doesn't bring back Wang Qi's head, he will cut himself in front of the emperor's uncle's mausoleum! Zilharang was full of confidence, and had already walked to the center of the main hall, looking directly at Dai Shan, quite a bit of forcing the palace: "Prince Li, what do you think?" β
Just now, Dai Shan also claimed that the overall situation was important, and he could not easily lead the army out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, but at this time, Wang Qi himself was so arrogant that he dared to come to Fengji Fort in person with only more than 100 people, which made Dai Shan decent?
In the face of Zilharang's questioning, Dai Shan's face was like being slapped fiercely, and it hurt hotly.
"Again, the situation is unclear now, and the Ming army has besieged the city from three directions, so you can't easily get into danger," Dai Shan finally shook his head: "If you really want to lead the army out of the city, you can only lead a maximum of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses." β
"Heh," said Zilharang, his mouth grinning, revealing a row of black and yellow teeth, and the smile in his eyes had become more and more intense, "whatever you say, but what if I return from victory?" β
"What do you want me to promise?" Dai Shan's face was gloomy.
"When I return to the city, the blue flag, the red flag, and the white flag all belong to me, and the three flags will be raised, and the first king of the government will also belong to the king!" Things have come to this point, the two sides have torn their faces, and Zilharang doesn't want to maintain any dignity anymore, and if he can really behead Wang Qi, then it will be such a miracle, even if the emperor's uncle Nurhachi himself is alive, he has to lead the horse and whip for himself, right?
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and Zilharang finally couldn't help but force the palace.
"At the moment of the great enemy, Prince Zheng is so eager to seize power and seize the throne, when the people are scattered, mutual suspicion, and the situation is out of control, I want to ask, what is Prince Zheng's intentions?" Wei Qi is Dai Shan's hardcore confidant, and he absolutely cannot tolerate anyone coveting the position of Minister of the Parliamentary King at this time."
In particular, he also wanted to lead his troops to attack and kill Wang Qi.
"As for the news that Wang Qi personally went to Fengji Fort, the last general can also lead his troops out of the city to find out!"
Wei Qi bowed to Dai Shan, and then got up and looked at Zierharang: "This matter will not be done by Prince Zheng himself." β
"What are you? A thing born and raised by a bitch, if it weren't for my love Xinjueluo to expand the territory outside, you a little slave who was fed by Fushun would also be worthy of talking to this king in the main hall? Zilharang rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward: "If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how to talk to your master!" β
In the main hall, some people stopped the fight, some people watched the excitement, some went outside to call people, and some people took three or four steps back, for fear of blood splashing on themselves.
"!" Zilharang took three steps, and still broke into front of him in the midst of everyone's obstruction, and directly swung his fist with all his strength, and his round arm carried a fierce fist.
There was a muffled thud.
smashed directly in Wei Qi's face.
In the next second, in the eyes of everyone, Wei Qi flew backwards.
There was a loud bang, smashing the tables and chairs not far away.
Compared with Zilharang, Wei Qi's status is low, and at this moment, he was knocked to the ground with a punch, and the right side of his face immediately swollen.
"Prince Zheng wants to fight, and he will naturally admit it as a minion, as long as you can dissipate your anger today and kill the minion, it's worth it," Wei Qi stared at Ji'er Harang deadly, talking about the minion, and the killing intent and anger in his eyes were already full.
"I don't know what is dead or alive," Zilharang could naturally see the killing intent in Wei Qi's eyes, and he stepped forward to continue to do it.
"Enough!" At the top position, Dai Shan had already gotten up, and a group of guards had gathered around him: "! Send Prince Zheng back to the palace to recuperate! β
As soon as the words fell, a group of guards had already stepped forward and surrounded Zilharang.
"Hehe," Zilharang squinted at Dai Shan: "Dai Shan, are you going to do it now?" β
"Send Prince Zheng away, without the order of the Minister of the Parliamentary Prince, you are not allowed to leave the Prince's Mansion for a step!" Dai Shan ignored Zilharang and waved his hand directly, asking the guards to escort him away.
"You wait for someone to be bewitched, and when the situation is irreparable, it will be too late to regret it," Zilharang did not struggle too much, as a prince, basic decency still has to be had, glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Dai Shan: "This king will not watch you lead my Jurchen into the abyss step by step."
