Chapter 181: Recovering the Four Cities

After Sun Chengzong led the main force of the Ming army to Luanzhou City, he immediately summoned all the generals to discuss how to recover the remaining three cities. Of course, Wu Shigong, who had a humble official position, was not qualified to participate in this military meeting.

Unexpectedly, at this military meeting, a fierce quarrel broke out. The content of the quarrel was nothing more than two points: First, the capture of Luanzhou City belonged to Qin Liangyu, and the other generals wanted Qin Liangyu to spit out some of the money.

The second is to arrange which army will attack Yongping City next.

Regarding the first point of the quarrel, Qin Liangyu showed off his power in the military discussion and really did everything he could. Because in the battles of the Ming Dynasty army, there was a custom that whoever captured would get it. In addition, Sun Chengzong was not interested in Qin Liangyu's independent recovery of Luan.

The state and city, and the compensatory psychological favoritism produced, in the end other generals did not get anything.

As for the attack on Yongping City, Sun Chengzong refused to let go of Qin Liangyu's powerful force. And Qin Liangyu had no choice. However, given that Qin Liangyu's army suffered heavy casualties when attacking Luanzhou City, Sun Chengzong also agreed to Qin Liangyu's stay.

A part of the army was stationed in Luanzhou City.

Of course, Sun Chengzong understood Qin Liangyu's thoughts. Qin Liangyu wanted to keep his own army to guard the captured property. So Sun Chengzong simply acted as a good man and took all the other Ming troops away from Luanzhou City.

But such a quarrel delayed the work for two days. At this time, Amin, who led the main force of the Hou Jin Army, had returned to Yongping City. On the one hand, he gathered all the looted property; on the other hand, among the people who looted,

Only young men and women were left, and the others were immediately massacred under Amin's order.

And this massacre completely exposed the true nature of the wolves of the Tatars. They even did not spare the Han officials who had surrendered to Houjin. At this time, the Ming army did not know the tragedy of Yongping City, so they still hugged each other.

Marching at a leisurely pace.

However, when the vanguard of the Ming army led by the brave general Cao Wenzhao rescued several surviving people from Yongping City, the Ming army learned that the Hou Jin army had massacred the city in Yongping City and had also retreated.

The main force of the Ming army immediately accelerated and drove into Yongping City without any loss. Amin gathered Shuotuo who was stationed in the two cities behind and escorted the property and people to evacuate outside the pass.

After learning the news of the retreat of the Hou Jin army, the Ming army immediately became active. Especially Zu Dashou's Liaodong cavalry and the cavalry of other armies. They relied on the speed of their cavalry to chase the Hou Jin army in the direction of their retreat.

.

How could the Liaodong cavalry and the cavalry from other armies let go if there was such an opportunity to beat up a drowned dog and get property? At first, those cavalry did gain something, but after seeing the unscrupulous appearance of the Ming army cavalry, Amin gathered

A part of the main force of the Jin Army turned around and fought with the Ming Army cavalry.

In this battle, the Ming army's cavalry suffered a slight defeat. Then the Ming army became cautious and just followed the Hou Jin army from a distance, giving a courtesy to the Hou Jin army as they came out of the pass.

In this way, the Ming army successfully recaptured the remaining two cities. Moreover, they also seized some property. Moreover, the people who were massacred in Yongping City all had their heads shaved. The Ming army took the lives of these people

After cutting off the head, you can pass it off as a Tatar head to earn military merit. Don't let this be too satisfying! The only pitiable thing is the people who were massacred. They all died and they still have to suffer this second wave of crimes.

The main force of the Ming army was satisfied, and Wu Shigong, who was staying in Luanzhou City, was even more satisfied. After receiving Wu Shigong's letter, Gongshun Houfu and Yangwuhoufu immediately established a series of connections in the dignitaries' mansions in the capital. Then, among those dignitaries

In the middle, a rare high efficiency appeared. They immediately sent out stewards and rushed to Luanzhou City.

Anyway, Wu Shigong’s bargaining with them does not need to be elaborated. However, Wu Shigong still encountered a problem. At that time, when Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong were discussing, they felt that although they wanted to sell the land, they still could not do it with too much fanfare. So they decided to sell five

About 10,000 acres of land.

However, there were more than forty powerful families who came to Luanzhou City, and they all felt that the land allocated to them was too little. But at this time, Qin Liangyu and other main generals of the White Guards had already moved to the other three cities.

The only one left in the camp in Luanzhou City was Qin Qianhu. He couldn't make any decisions. Wu Shigong had to decide everything.

In the end, Wu Shigong simply gritted his teeth and continued selling land. In the end, a total of more than 160,000 acres of land was sold.

However, Wu Shigong had an unexpected gain. Because the capital was still under martial law, although people could enter and exit on a limited basis, there was really no way to organize so many large vehicles to transport Qin Liangyu and Wu Shigong's belongings.

And because Wu Shigong wanted to put all his fallen soldiers in coffins and take them back to the deceased's hometown for burial, the number of carts was absolutely not enough.

But now the dignitaries who buy land will go to Luanzhou to build their own villages. It is not difficult to recruit villagers. Anyway, there are a lot of refugees fleeing in the capital now. But the food and some daily necessities of those villagers,

It still takes a lot of effort to transport tools, etc. from the capital.

But now Wu Shigong has ready-made food and supplies, so a large part of the problem can be solved. After these powerful people spent money to buy these things from Wu Shigong, they can save a lot of money after calculating the accounts. And Wu Shigong just happened to

Save yourself the hassle of transporting these belongings.

So these days, on the one hand, Wu Shigong asked the soldiers to cut down trees to make coffins, and on the other hand, he asked the craftsmen in the camp to make the captured weapons and scrap copper and iron from Luanzhou City into farm tools, preparing to deliver them to the powerful.

Zhuangzi.

Seeing that Wu Shigong's business skills were sound and logical, Qin Qianhu was also impressed with his admiration.

Of course, it is impossible for these stewards who come to buy land to bring so much cash with them. However, with the guarantee of Gongshun Houfu and Yangwuhoufu, they will pay the money in the capital, and they are not afraid of defaulting on their debts.

.

Next, Wu Shigong had nothing to do. Those in charge were also very busy arranging people to visit the territory, return to the capital to recruit refugees, etc. As for how they would deal with the government in the future, Wu Shigong was not interested in caring about it.

Amin basically brought the main force of the Xianglan Banner back to the outside world, and also saved most of the property and population. However, as soon as he returned to Shengjing, he was convicted and imprisoned by Huang Taiji. The leader of the Xianglan Banner

It was also forwarded to Amin’s younger brother, Jierharang, who listened to Huang Taiji’s words.

Moreover, because the other two big Baylors prevented the Hou Jin army from entering the customs, and Huang Taiji insisted on entering the customs, the harvest was particularly huge. Therefore, after the decline and the rise, Huang Taiji's authority in the Hou Jin Dynasty was completely established.

.

This time, the Jisi Incident gave Emperor Chongzhen a huge psychological shock. The biggest impact on Emperor Chongzhen was that he found that the civil servants he relied on, mainly from the Donglin Party, could not be reused.

Not to mention Yuan Chonghuan, the chief assistant of the Donglin Party and the minister of the Ministry of War performed extremely poorly in this Jisi Incident. What was even more disgusting to Emperor Chongzhen was that he discovered that the chief assistant and the minister of the Ministry of War were actually Chongzhen.

The general backstage of Yuan Chonghuan, whom the emperor hated most.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen decided to alienate those Donglin Party officials. But in this way, there were only a few civil servants who could assist Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen could only handle a large number of state affairs personally and became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The second model worker in.

However, the two model emperors of the Ming Dynasty, one was Zhu Yuanzhang who founded the country, and the other was Chongzhen who lost the country, really echoed each other from beginning to end!

However, in this operation to liquidate Donglin Party officials, two independent figures became Emperor Chongzhen's right-hand assistants. They are Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren. They will also become the chief assistants of the Chongzhen Dynasty in the near future.

.

With the support of these two ministers, six months after arresting Yuan Chonghuan, Emperor Chongzhen finally decided to take Yuan Chonghuan to Caishikou and execute him at an early hour. The main charges used were: Yuan Chonghuan colluded with the Later Jin Dynasty and released the Later Jin Dynasty army.

Enter the customs and plunder the Jingfu area.

On the day of the execution, the people in the capital who hated Yuan Chonghuan to the core burst into joy and started vying for his meat. Yuan Chonghuan also died without a complete body.

To be fair, if we look at Yuan Chonghuan's charges, he was wrongly accused. After all, Yuan Chonghuan has been fighting with Hou Jin throughout his life without any surrender. This is also consistent with the large number of Han officials who later surrendered to Hou Jin.

Forming a sharp contrast.

However, as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty in charge of the Liaodong campaign, Yuan Chonghuan controlled the largest army in the Ming Dynasty, occupied most of the Ming Dynasty's military pay, and received the most abundant supply of money and food from Emperor Chongzhen.

However, after Yuan Chonghuan praised Haikou and said that he had Pingliao in five years, only one year later, the Hou Jin army attacked the capital area of ​​​​the Ming Dynasty. This is an unforgivable crime in any dynasty.

In a word: Yuan Chonghuan died because of his incompetence.

The consequences of Yuan Chonghuan's actions quickly worsened the situation in the Ming Dynasty, which was relatively peaceful in the early years of Chongzhen's reign. Therefore, it can be said that Yuan Chonghuan was one of the culprits responsible for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the news that the Ming army had recaptured the four cities of Yongping, Emperor Chongzhen was ecstatic because this was the only bright spot in the Ming army's battle during the Jisi Incident.

Although in the commemoration of meritorious service, because Sun Chengzong wanted to balance and appease the Liaodong cavalry, Qin Liangyu's contribution was not ranked first. However, from Emperor Chongzhen to the ministers who knew the war situation, they all knew that Yongping was recovered this time.

In the four cities, Qin Liangyu made the first contribution.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately sent out a eunuch to reward the Ming army, and asked the eunuch to deliver an edict to Qin Liangyu: Tell Qin Liangyu to come to the capital immediately, and Emperor Chongzhen will personally summon her. And the eunuch who delivered the edict was...
