There is work tomorrow, and I can get up at 1 o'clock. It's a tragedy.
~~~~~
Shengjing, Shenyang.
"Report~~~! Jinzhou City is eight hundred miles away, urgent!"
It was already late at night, but a fast horse roared towards the palace and galloped straight towards the palace!
Looking at the letter sealed with bright red paint, the palace gate guards did not dare to stop him. A head guard quickly led the messenger to the palace of Sony, the minister on duty at the imperial court!
Sony is in his early forties this year. He was born in Zhenghuangqi of Huangtaiji. Different from other Manchu and Mongolian nobles, he is thin and weak in martial arts. He seems to be weak, but he is well-read in hundreds of classics, rich in strategies, and very good at catering to his superiors. Yi is one of Huang Taiji’s closest confidants!
At this time, Huang Taiji fell ill, so he was appointed to be responsible for the statistics of military intelligence at the front!
"Master Qi Suo, Jinzhou 800 miles is urgent!" The travel-worn messenger hurriedly knelt down on one knee and respectfully delivered the letter in his hand to Sony!
When he saw the bright red paint on the letterhead, Sony's expression couldn't help but change. He quickly opened the letterhead and browsed through it quickly!
"You guys, hurry up and bring the messenger good news! I'm going to see the emperor now!" The matter in the letter was too important. How could Sony dare to neglect it? He hurriedly ordered the guards on the left and right, and he quickly walked towards Guanju, where Huang Taiji lived. Go to the palace!
~~~~
Guanju Palace is the palace of Huang Taiji’s most beloved concubine, Chen Fei Hai Lanzhu!
At this time, it was almost midnight, and Huang Taiji was probably asleep!
But thinking of the military information in the letter, Sony couldn't care less about it. He hurried to the front of Guanju Palace and said to the guard guard: "Quick, go and report to the emperor. There is an urgent military information coming from Jinzhou eight hundred miles away!"
"Master Suo, Master Chen has just given instructions that the emperor has already gone to bed. If there is nothing important, please do not disturb him! Look, you'd better come back tomorrow morning!"
"Asshole! How can we tolerate any slightest neglect in a major military matter? This matter is related to the fate of our country, the Qing Dynasty. Can you afford to take it? Hurry, go and report it to the emperor!" Sony was furious and cursed at the guard guard!
"Eh? Yes! Yes! Don't wait any longer!" Several gatekeepers looked at each other, and one of them hurriedly walked towards the door of the palace!
It has been nearly twenty years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Most of the rules in the palace were modeled on those in the Ming Dynasty Palace. The guards informed the eunuchs on duty at Guanju Palace, and the eunuchs on duty quickly reported to the palace!
~~~~
At this time, Concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu had just served Huang Taiji and fell asleep.
During these days in Jinzhou, Huang Taiji was exhausted, had a fever, and was bleeding from his mouth and nose. Coupled with the battle reports from the front, Huang Taiji did not dare to neglect at all. Many of them were done by himself, which made his physical condition extremely poor. !
Hailanzhu's body was already very weak, but she had a deep love for Huang Taiji and his wife, and she had always been by Huang Taiji's side. Every time, she would help Huang Taiji fall asleep before Hailanzhu would sleep peacefully.
Although she is already in her early thirties, the traces of time do not seem to have stayed on her face. Her skin is as good as snow, and her figure is enchanting. Although she is slightly fatter, it makes her more full of the charm of a mature woman!
At this time, Hai Lanzhu washed up and was about to go to sleep, but was awakened by a commotion outside!
"What happened?" Hai Lanzhu frowned slightly and asked the eunuch on duty somewhat displeasedly.
"Report to Master Chen! It's Sony outside. He said there is an urgent military situation and he needs to report it to the Ming Emperor as soon as possible!"
"What's the matter? Can't we talk about it tomorrow? We have to do it now?" Hai Lanzhu's tone was already a bit angry!
It is true that the emperor often spent the night in her Guanju Palace, but most of the time, Huang Taiji handled various government affairs in the study room of Guanju Palace. The time he could really spend with Hailanzhu was very few!
In addition, Huang Taiji has been ill these days, and Hai Lanzhu's mood cannot be better!
"Go back, Master Chen, this slave told Sony the same thing! But, but Sony said military and national affairs are important, related to the fate of our country, the Qing Dynasty, slave and slave, I don't dare to stop it!"
"Hmph!" Hai Lanzhu's eyebrows tightened, about to explode! There was a lot of anger accumulated in her chest these days!
But at this time, Huang Taiji was alarmed by the sounds outside, and said feebly: "Concubine Chen, what happened? Are you making a noise here?"
Hai Lanzhu rushed to the inner room and helped Huang Taiji up, "Your Majesty, this is Sony. He said he has important military information for you to report!"
"Huh?" Huang Taiji frowned, and most of his sleepiness suddenly disappeared!
Sony is mature, prudent and prudent. If it were not an emergency, he would never force his way into the palace in the middle of the night!
"Concubine Chen, hurry up, serve me and get dressed! You, hurry up and invite Sony here!" Huang Taiji hurriedly commanded.
"Yes!" The little eunuch hurried away!
Although Hai Lanzhu was favored, she did not dare to hinder Huang Taiji's majesty, and reluctantly began to serve Huang Taiji in dressing!
After a moment, Sony hurried into the room, knelt on his knees and said: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou's army is dispatched, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei are jointly attacking Shimen Mountain. The morale of the Ming army is strong. Prince Yu's side may have to hold on.
I can’t stand it any longer!”
"What? Hong Chengchou moved? This? When did this happen?" Huang Taiji's expression changed drastically, he pushed Hai Lanzhu's jade hand away, and asked Sony loudly.
"Just today! The Ming army has been attacking Shimen Mountain all day long! There are no reinforcements from Prince Yu. If we don't take any action, Shimen Mountain will definitely not be able to survive tomorrow noon!" Sony kowtowed hurriedly.
"Hiss~! Wow~~!" Huang Taiji just took half a breath, and suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood without warning. Hai Lanzhu was right in front of him, and he didn't even have time to react. This mouthful of blood sprayed into the sea.
On Lanzhu’s body!
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Hai Lanzhu and Sony said almost at the same time.
Huang Taiji shook his head with difficulty, "I'm fine! Sony, is there any action from Prince Rui? Is there any news?"
Sony shook his head hastily, "No! Prince Rui is stationed in the north of Jinzhou. Today, there is no news from him!"
"Yes!" Huang Taiji's face looked a little better, "Sony, you, hurry up and prepare your horses! Inform the guards, I, I have to rush to Jinzhou City overnight!"
"Yes!" Sony kowtowed respectfully and hurried away!
"Wow~!" Huang Taiji spat out another mouthful of blood and managed to stand firm!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how can you go to Jinzhou in such a physical condition? Your Majesty, your dragon body is very important!" Hai Lanzhu was not willing to let Huang Taiji go out in such a good body, and hurriedly hugged the Emperor tightly.
Tai Chi arms!
Huang Taiji endured the pain in his body and showed a smile, "Beloved, I'm fine! My body is fine! This battle is related to the fate of our country, and whether our children in the future can sit firmly on my throne.
Jiangshan! I have to go to this battle in person!"
Hai Lanzhu originally wanted to stop her, but when she heard the second half of Huang Taiji's words, she suddenly slowly let go of her hand, but her tears couldn't stop flowing out, "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself.
!I am waiting here for your return after victory!"
"Haha! Don't worry, concubine! You will definitely do it! I'll leave first!" Huang Taiji smiled at Hai Lanzhu and walked out of the room with decisive strides!
~~~~~~
Without any pause, Huang Taiji went very fast all the way. Early the next morning, Huang Taiji arrived at Qijiapu in the north of Jinzhou City, and went to the front line in person to command the Manchu army to fight!
"How is the situation now? My dear friends, please come to my aid quickly!" In the king's tent, Huang Taiji had no time to rest and directly held a pre-war meeting!
"Your Majesty, I have just received a battle report from Prince Yu of Shimen Mountain. More than 30,000 elite Ming troops have been sent into battle one after another. Prince Yu's side has been overwhelmed! So far, nearly 3,000 Xiangbai Banners have been killed and injured.
There are countless of them! If there are no more reinforcements, Shimen Mountain may not be able to defend it!" Jierharang, the leader of the Xianglan Banner, hurried forward to report.
Even if he disagrees with the Dorgon brothers, at this moment, Jierhalang admires Duduo's strong persistence. It is precisely because of Duduo that the Qing army was given time to mobilize the main force!
"Well! I understand Prince Yu's temperament! He will never admit defeat! However, at this point, he may be at the end of his strength! We can't delay it any longer! Prince Rui, Prince Zheng, Shi Tingzhu,
Very gratifying, Geng Zhongming!" Huang Taiji glanced at the generals in the tent!
"The slave is here!" Several people knelt down one after another!
"You and other ministries must assemble the army quickly. We must rush to Shimen Mountain within half an hour to meet Prince Yu. We must not let the Ming army take a step towards Shimen Mountain!"
"yes!"
~~~~~~
Shimen Mountain!
The battle has been going on all day and all night!
In front of the Qing army's camp, there were corpses of dead soldiers from both sides everywhere. Dark blood flowed along the small slope in front of Shimen Mountain and towards the river at the foot of the mountain!
The air is filled with a strong smell of blood that cannot be dispersed by the wind!
Duduo relied on the advantage of the geographical situation and refused to retreat, firmly blocking several strategic points at the top of Shimen Mountain. The Ming army made several charges. Although it had paid a huge price, it never gained any practical results.
results!
The Qing army's stubborn will to resist has become the biggest obstacle to the Ming army at this moment!
On the hillside, Wu Sangui, Wang Tingchen, Cao Bianjiao, three elite troops of 6,000 people, under the cover of the artillery fire from the firearms battalion, continued to rush towards the Qing army's position like crazy!
But on Duduo's side, the bastard is so determined that he refuses to take a step back despite the risk of the entire army being annihilated!
"Director Hong, we still can't conquer such a small place! You, should you think of something quickly?" Zhang Ruoqi was also a little anxious on the side!
He never thought that the war could reach such a tragic level. The Ming army outnumbered the Qing army in Shimen Mountain several times, but they still couldn't break the situation!
Zhang Ruoqi felt that the generals were not working hard enough and some pressure must be put on them!
Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhang Ruoqi and felt a dull pain in his chest and abdomen!
"Master Supervisor, the brothers have tried their best! Now that we can't defeat them, I really don't have any good ideas! Master Supervisor, do you have any clever ideas?"
In this battle, although the Ming army had tens of thousands more troops than the Qing army, in fact, this was an unequal war at all!
The Qing army has been deployed in Jinzhou for several years!
But what about Ming Dynasty?
But they only wanted to win. Emperor Chongzhen and the big shots in the court wished they could finish this battle overnight!
But is this possible?
Just the small Shimen Mountain is like a natural chasm, and the main force of the Ming army is stuck and helpless!
This does not mean that Shimen Mountain is really a natural chasm and Duduo is invincible!
As long as Hong Chengchou has a little more buffer time, Hong Chengchou can definitely take down Shimen Mountain easily, but what about now?
All I can do is grit my teeth and bite the bullet!
"I..." Zhang Ruoqi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Director Hong, the command of this battle formation is your responsibility. I am only supervising the army, not responsible for commanding the army? What's more, the current battle situation is like this
I'm so anxious, where can I find any good ideas?"
Zhang Ruoqi rejected Hong Chengchou's words quite displeasedly!
Hong Chengchou shook his head slightly, but he didn't explain anything!
But at this time, a burst of cheers suddenly came from the direction of Shimen Mountain!
Immediately afterwards, countless Qing cavalry came out from both sides. The Ming army was unable to fight and retreated one after another!
The situation of the war took a turn for the worse!
