Chapter 928: Open up territory and expand territory
Dorgon's order really confused countless generals of the Jin Kingdom. Our Lord Beile left Dahaozhou City unoccupied, and even took the initiative to give up the captured city. His head was kicked by a donkey.
Or was he knocked unconscious by a woman and lost his mind?
No matter how dissatisfied the generals of the Kingdom of Jin were, military orders were military orders, and no one dared to disobey the orders personally issued by the Khan King. Therefore, within two days, nearly 30,000 troops of the Kingdom of Jin gradually withdrew from Ningzhou City.
He Shunzhou City, and Quanning City did not commit any crimes.
Is Dorgon stupid? No, he is not stupid at all. It can even be said that he is extremely smart. He just wants to take the initiative to give up Quanning City and other places to the Song people, and give these cities to the Ming Dynasty. This can be regarded as fulfilling the covenant.
If something happens again in the future, it won’t be regarded as a breach of contract by the Jin Kingdom, right? Moreover, although Dorgon wants to conquer Ning City, he doesn’t want to waste food to feed hundreds of thousands of mouths at this time. It’s better to let him
Daming, please help me.
The Ming Dynasty was very prosperous, but there was no shortage of food. Then after the Ming army occupied Quaning City, they would definitely transport food on a large scale to supply the people of Quaning. Just wait until the time is almost up, and then recapture Quaning. By then, not only
Quanning City is our own, and we get an extra batch of food for nothing. Isn’t it wonderful?
The Ming Dynasty also had troops to defend the city? Haha, Dorgon never paid attention to those weak soldiers in the Beijing camp. As long as he wanted to, he could defeat those so-called forbidden troops in the Beijing camp at any time. What's more, the water of the Xiaoliao River is indispensable.
If you can flood Du Lenghong, you can't flood the Ming Dynasty's Forbidden Army?
Since Dorgon decided to be a good guy for once, he would do it with great fanfare, and on the same day he would write a letter to the world, and openly and openly cede Quaning and other places to the Ming Dynasty. This would really shock the world. To say that His Majesty the Ming Dynasty and even several generations
What is the emperor's greatest wish? Of course it is to regain the prefectures and counties in the north. Especially his Majesty Zhu Youjian, who has been tortured by the cabinet and Tie Mo in recent years, just wants to regain the prefectures and counties and compete for the lost reputation.
Well, the Kingdom of Jin took the initiative to give up Quaning and other places, which was a real help in times of need.
Because if the Jin Kingdom really wanted Quan Ning and wouldn't let go, the Ming Dynasty would have no choice. Zhu Youjian knew how ferocious the Jin Kingdom's soldiers and horses were. The Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of Beijing troops faced Mongolian soldiers who were smaller than themselves.
They still lose more than they win, and are beaten to a pulp in many cases, but the Jurchen soldiers and horses can chase the Mongolian soldiers and beat them. Such a comparison can be seen.
When the Jin Dynasty's official letter came to the capital, the Ming court was really happy. On the same day, someone announced it to the whole capital to celebrate. Of course, your majesty's happiness also brought a lot of benefits to one person. This
This person is Yang Sichang, who is the governor of Jizhou. Originally, Yang Sichang cooperated with the attack on Quaning, but they lost more than they won. Especially after Du Lenghong reoccupied Quaning, he looted everywhere and defeated the Ming Dynasty.
How brave the Forbidden Army was in fighting and how powerful they were in seizing the city. In short, looking at the text drafted by Your Majesty, it is said that the Ming soldiers and horses are invincible in the world. The Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses completely recaptured the city of Quan Ning in one go. Therefore, recapturing Quan Ning is
The contribution of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty is also the supreme glory of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
With Zhu Youjian's propaganda like this, can he still blame Yang Sichang? If he still blames Yang Sichang, wouldn't that be like slapping himself in the mouth?
Just as others expected, when Yang Sichang was busy occupying Ningzhou and other places, he issued a transfer order to Quan Ning, ordering Yang Sichang to return to Beijing and reward him for his merits. Yang Sichang stood at the top of the city of Quaning, looking into the distance
In the southern country, he sighed silently, raised his hand to stroke a few beards, his face was full of self-deprecating smiles, haha, in the whole world, Yang Sichang is the only person in history who can reward you for his merits after winning a battle.
Alone?
The entire Ming Dynasty celebrated with great joy, but as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, Yang Sichang was not as optimistic as the people in the capital. He knew something about Dorgon. This Dorgon of the Jin Dynasty had frequent schemes, was sinister and vicious, and was a typical example of doing nothing for any benefit.
Lord, is it a good thing if he takes the initiative to give up Quaning and other places? Moreover, there is a lot of mess in Quaning city now. First of all, there is a shortage of food. Although there is surplus food in the army, it will not last long.
We need to mobilize food to Quanning City as soon as possible.
Having held great power in the army for so many years, Yang Sichang's power in the army was unmatched. He was walking in front of Quaning City, with several commanders following him respectfully. In fact, several commanders were also a little puzzled. His Majesty's
It is a good thing to be civilized, but why is Governor Yang still looking sad? When he came to the corner of the battlements, General Fu Chenghuan stepped forward and asked, "Supervisor, Your Majesty sent you back to Beijing to discuss your merits and rewards, why are you still here?"
Depressed?"
Yang Sichang frowned and narrowed his eyes. He touched the battlements with his hands and said with a faint smile, "You are all too careless. You don't even think about who Dorgon is. You think Dorbele seems to be compassionate.
Master? It wouldn’t be strange if Dorgon took the opportunity to extort something from our Ming Dynasty, but he didn’t ask for anything and was so generous, which made me feel uneasy."
Yang Sichang was really uneasy, but he just couldn't figure out what Dorgon was going to do. Maybe this was the scariest thing? He knew clearly that others had conspiracies, but he couldn't take precautions. And the most distressing thing was that Yang Sichang couldn't
I didn't dare to tell Zhu Youjian that His Majesty had already been carried away by joy. By saying these words, wouldn't it make His Majesty unhappy?
Two days later, Yang Sichang returned to the capital. At the court meeting the next day, in front of all the civil and military officials, Wang Chengen read out the imperial edict, saying that our Ming soldiers and horses were brave and capable of fighting, and they had conquered the city and captured the territory. They had just returned in triumph. This was especially due to Yang Sichang's proper command.
, Yang Sichang is hereby appointed as the Minister of War. Don’t look at the actual position, it is just a false title of Minister of War, but it is completely different from before. Who can say for sure whether this is to let Yang Sichang go to the Ministry of War to replace Hou Shilu.
Anyway, in these years, all kinds of weird things can happen. Yang Sichang was naturally grateful, but he was still extremely worried in his heart. He just looked at everyone's smiling faces and swallowed his words again.
On that day, it was decided to have a banquet for the ministers in the imperial garden, so the court meeting broke up quickly. Yang Sichang was not in a hurry to leave. He leaned on the inside of the palace door and patiently waited for someone. After he came out of the imperial study as Ji Ming, Yang Sichang hurriedly
Yang Sichang went up to him. He wanted to tell His Majesty his worries, but he didn't have the guts to say it himself, so the best way was to ask Cheng Jiming, who was next to Your Majesty, to tell it on his behalf. Maybe he had some dissatisfaction with Cheng Jiming, but could he?
One thing Yang Sichang had to admit was that Cheng Jiming was very capable and worthy of staying in the cabinet for so many years.
Cheng Jiming saw Yang Sichang from a distance, so he came closer, took the initiative to hold his hands in his arms and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Governor Yang. In this Northern Expedition, you have captured Quaning. You have made an unparalleled contribution to our Ming Dynasty."
For some reason, after hearing Cheng Jiming's words, Yang Sichang felt his face flush with shame. He bowed hastily and pulled Cheng Jiming's sleeve. The two of them came to a corner. After making sure that no one was passing by, Yang Sichang spoke again.
He bowed respectfully again and said, "Sir, Mr. Tong did offend a lot of things in the past, but please, Mr. Cheng, you have a lot of things, so don't worry about it!"
Cheng Jiming was so curious that he couldn't help but laugh and said, "No way, no way. You and I are officials in the same dynasty. We have political disagreements and disputes with each other. It is inevitable that Gong will not tolerate this kind of gift. Governor Yang
Master, if you have any questions, please tell me!"
Seeing that Cheng Jiming was so generous, Yang Sichang did not hide anything and poured out his thoughts. Cheng Jiming kept squinting and listened carefully. When Yang Sichang finished speaking, he frowned and thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said slowly, "
Governor Yang, what you are worried about is exactly what Gong is worried about, but have you ever thought that His Majesty would not know such a simple truth? When has Dorgon ever suffered a loss, wouldn't His Majesty know how to worry?
In short, I will not tell His Majesty these words. It is up to Governor Yang to decide what to do!"
Cheng Jiming only said a few words, and Yang Sichang was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but slap his forehead, and then closed his eyes in pain. Yes, His Majesty is not a fool. He would not know the strangeness.
What, but he still pretended not to see it and celebrated the reward grandly. Why is this? The reason is too simple. Your Majesty feels that he can give up some things, but he must make sure that he conquers Quaning and other places, because he
I was almost driven crazy by the Iron Supervisor.
In the end, Yang Sichang left the palace lonely with his head lowered. Looking at the back of those who passed the customs, Cheng Jiming raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile, which seemed to be both mocking and sighing.
The capital was celebrating grandly, the Imperial Garden was brightly lit, and at this time in the Taiyuan Mansion, Tie Mo was also thinking about something. Dorgon was really ruthless, and he gave up Quan Ning to the Ming Dynasty so generously.
Quan Ning returns to the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The first step is almost done, and the next step is Du Lenghong. Tie Mo hopes that Du Lenghong will surrender to His Majesty Zhao, because then Dorgon will find a reason to pounce on the border of the Ming Dynasty like a mad dog.
But Tie Mo was not in a hurry, because it was Dorgon who was anxious. At the end of April, all parties near Quan Ning were in peace and quiet. In a short period of time, Quan Ning actually had a false prosperous scene in early summer. That's it.
, time flies to June.
In June, the lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, and the sun was blazing like fire. In this hot season, something suddenly changed. On the fifth day of June, five thousand Jurchen soldiers and horses suddenly appeared at the foot of Baima Mountain, and that night launched a fierce attack on the Baima defense line.
, the battle lasted for three hours, and when the sky turned bright, the Jurchen soldiers had completely occupied Baima Mountain. When the news reached Yizhou City, Du Lenghong was so shocked that his eyes almost dropped to the ground. Why did Baima Mountain be lost so quickly?
The reason is that the person who led the troops to attack Baima Mountain this time was none other than Wanyan Zonghan.
Duduo was brave and resourceful, and in terms of marching and fighting, he was second only to Amin, Dorgon and Azig. He ordered the army to go out day and night, and arrived at Baima Mountain silently. Then he sent troops to harass and feign an attack, and succeeded.
They circled to the west of Baima Mountain and launched a fierce attack from the flank. Because the Liao army did not respond in time, they were immediately killed and suffered a huge defeat. With the loss of Baima Mountain, the entire north of Quanning had no barrier, and Chizhou in the west had also been captured by the Jin Dynasty.
The Northern Army reoccupied, and they expected the Northern Shanxi Army to help defend against the Jurchen Tatars. What a joke, the Northern Shanxi Army didn't beat gongs and drums, it would be good to encourage both sides and watch the fun.
If Duduo cannot be driven out of Baima Mountain, there is no point in defending Yushan to the east. So Du Lenghong made a decisive decision and led Han Rongze and nearly 10,000 troops to the Baima Mountain area. Han Rongze was also a famous general in the world. As soon as he arrived at Baima Mountain
At the foot of the hilly road south of the mountain, he immediately ordered the entire army to stop advancing. Han Rongze looked at the hills in front of him and felt deeply uneasy, because he came all the way from Quaning without encountering any obstruction. This was not true.
What a good sign.
Stopping his horse, Han Rongze sent out scouts to investigate the surrounding area, and even ordered to expand the area. After stopping for an hour, the scouts came with news that made Han Rongze's scalp numb. They found signs of a large number of Jurchen soldiers and horses, and they had now entered from the Qifeng area.
Taining Mountain. Hearing this news, Han Rongze felt a pain in his heart. Hearing for a long time that the soldiers used in Duduo's battles were dangerous, people often couldn't imagine it. It was really shocking to see it today.
Taining Mountain is located between Quaning and Chizhou. It can be said that it goes deep into the hinterland. Duduo has no reinforcements. What he does is a typical case of going deep alone. If someone makes dumplings, there will be no place to run.
. But it seemed dangerous, but in fact it was a strange move, because the Han people in Chizhou would not join forces with the Mongolian soldiers and horses to besiege Duduo, so Duduo also recognized this and dared to make a dangerous move.
He knew this was a dangerous move, but Han Rongze had no temper at all. Now there are nearly 20,000 people in Yushan guarding the Han army in Quaning City. After the cities in Quaning are dispersed, there are only less than 3,000 guards in Quaning City. Duduo
If Han Rongze's army comes out of Mount Taining to surprise Quanning City, wouldn't something big happen? Without thinking about it, Han Rongze immediately got on his horse, waved his whip, and shouted loudly, "Go back to Quaning, quickly... quickly...
The rear team changed to the front team and rushed back to Quanning City as quickly as possible..."
It really came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Nearly ten thousand troops showed up and disappeared in the area of Baima Mountain. It seemed cool, but for these nearly 10,000 soldiers, it was like suffering. From Quaning to Baima Mountain
, the cavalry was okay, but the infantry were really tired and vomiting blood.
On May 13th, a huge army appeared at the foot of Taining Mountain. These were the soldiers and horses commanded by Duduo. In the evening, looking at Quaning City in the distance, Duduo's lips were raised with a confident smile. Now only
Wait, wait until the sky darkens completely, then we will drive Du Lenghong out of Quan Ning in one fell swoop.
At the time of Xu, the soldiers and horses led by Duduo began to sneak eastward. The moonlight in the sky was bright, so there would be no inconvenience in marching. At the beginning of Xu, they arrived at Quaning City at the Chou hour. At this time, most people in the city were sleeping soundly.
Even the guards at the top of the city were taking a nap. Imagine how clever Duduo's timing of sending troops was.
The years are shining, lonely songs are rising and falling in the wind, Du Lenghong is wrapped in a cloak and leaning against a low green brick wall. The moonlight is beautiful and the stars are full. I haven't seen such a beautiful scene for a long time.
The scenery, I haven’t felt relaxed in a long time.
