Today it’s Jiang Kui, tomorrow it might be me. If it’s not for Jiang Kui, even if it’s for yourself, you still have to write a letter and nag him.
However, before the court officials were ready, Miss Xiao from the Governor's Office spoke up, saying that Jiang Kui should have been killed long ago for committing a crime and harming the people. Such a traitor would not be enough to anger the people if he was not killed. Good guy, now
The people in the capital clapped their hands and applauded, and the officials who were about to submit a letter also backed down. These people quickly burned the documents that had not been submitted. When someone came to talk about Jiang Kui, they quickly waved their hands to express that they knew nothing about it and would not participate in it.
.
Are you kidding me? Under the rule of His Majesty and the Cabinet, the most you can do is lose your official position and be dismissed. But if you go against the Governor's Office, you will lose your life. If you compare losing your official position with losing your life, it's a good choice.
In two days, the imperial army searched Jiang Kui's home and found an incalculable amount of money and silk. However, most of these items fell into the warehouse of the Governor's Mansion. When Jiang Kui fell, Zhou Tingru was frightened. In the past,
When Jiang Kui or Qian Qianyi fell, it was too late for him to applaud and he was still afraid? This time was different. All the reasons His Majesty used to punish Jiang Kui were false. Only one was true, just because Jiang Kui was money.
Qian Yi's confidant has a high position. Jiang Kui is a general of Qian Qianyi's faction, and Zhou Tingru used to be the same, so from this aspect, he and Jiang Kui are like grasshoppers on a rope. Zhou Tingru is afraid of the next one.
He burned the fire above his head, so he was terrified.
After nightfall, a man in black robe sneaked into the gate of the Governor's Mansion. In the side courtyard, when Xiao Ruxue saw the person coming, she frowned and scolded unhappily, "Didn't Zhou Tingru say that there is no such thing?"
Don't you come here for important things? Who asked you to come at this time?"
Zhou Tingru didn't say much. He knelt on the ground, took two steps to look, kowtowed and cried, "Miss Xiao, help me. I am loyal to the supervisor and have never had second thoughts. You have to help me."
, if Miss Xiao doesn't care, Jiang Kui is finished, and the next one will be his subordinates." Zhou Tingru burst into tears, and the cry made people feel distressed. I have to say that Zhou Tingru is a performer, and these tears come easily, but in officialdom
Who among the gangsters is not a performer?
Xiao Ruxue hated people like Zhou Tingru very much. She looked full of knowledge, but in fact she was full of idiots. Not to mention Zhou Tingru crying miserably, she really didn't take it seriously, and her face was very cold, "Humph,
Are you loyal to the Governor? Then why didn't you say anything about Wang Chengen's visit to you before? Zhou Tingru, Zhou Tingru, do you really think that the Governor's Office is so easy to deceive? Do you think the cabinet and His Majesty really think highly of you?"
Zhou Tingru was stunned for a moment. He even forgot to cry. His mouth was half-opened in a daze. The meeting between him and Wang Chengen was very secret. How did Miss Xiao know about it?
"Miss Xiao, this subordinate... I'm confused... But I really didn't do anything harmful to the supervisor." Zhou Tingru was really scared. He was still in tears before, but now he is sweating. This person has always been full of confidence.
The six members of the Manchu Department knelt on the ground without any image, letting the cold earth erode their knees. Even if his lips turned blue from the cold, he did not dare to stand up.
"You are not confused at all. You are trying to get some benefits in every direction. You are really smart. If you had done anything to disgrace the supervisor, do you think you would still be alive today?" The teacher spoke harshly, far away.
Unlike his usual kindness, kindness and kindness are of no use to people like Zhou Tingru. Only a knife is most useful.
Sure enough, Zhou Tingru no longer dared to talk nonsense, knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and ran away in despair.
In Zhangbeicheng City, the cold wind kept passing by. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Yunsheng came back from the capital. He came back alone. After hearing what happened in the capital, Tie Mo could only sigh helplessly. The master's temper was too temperamental.
Ao, who has underestimated her, insists on fighting for this reputation? Besides, does he need this reputation for being a tough guy? If he doesn't come back, he won't come back. I can only change my method. I originally thought of going to fight Daning.
The government, in order to prevent Dorgon from jumping over the wall and injuring Xiao Ruxue, had no choice but to send troops in advance.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, a strong wind swept through the Central Plains. After the strong wind, the desolate scenery had not eased, and the horses of the Jin people came outside Xianghe City. Now the Ming Dynasty has deployed a total of 60,000 troops from Xianghe to Yangwu.
There was a large army, and there were more than 10,000 people in Xianghe City. The leader of these more than 10,000 troops was none other than Yang Sichang, who had returned from Xiaosanhe's defeat.
Now, Yang Sichang does not dare to return to Beijing. After such a huge defeat, can the court tolerate him?
This time Duduo personally led the troops, and the siege army prepared ladders and other siege tools. Since Xianghe City was not strong, it was crumbling under the strong attack of Jin soldiers from the beginning. This time Yang Sichang personally went to the city.
Supervising the battle, Yang Sichang was a scholar who rarely used swords and guns. This time he personally picked up the sword and chopped people.
Yang Sichang had no choice but to do this. In the battle of Xiaosanhe, he suffered such huge losses. He was already dead. This time the Xianghe defense battle was his last life-saving straw. If he could defend Xianghe, he might still be able to recover it.
If you can't save your life, you don't have to go back to the capital. You might as well die on the battlefield.
Yang Sichang personally wielded his sword to kill the enemy, which really boosted his morale. Duduo was considered a fierce general. He fought fiercely for Xianghe for a whole day, but he was stunned and failed to defeat it.
Is Yang Sichang a mediocre person? It's not necessarily true. Although he was a scholar, he conquered the country and quelled the mob. If he didn't have real ability, it would be absolutely impossible for him to achieve so many achievements.
However, reality is stronger than people. The two battles in Northern Xinjiang were both spectacularly defeated. Because of this, Duduo was a little contemptuous at first. After their encounter in Xianghe City, Duduo was not worried and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.
They rushed towards Yangwu in the west. The walls of Yangwu City were high and thick, and Liu Shicheng's deputy general Cao Jilin was stationed in person, so the court was not too worried about Yangwu City. Now that Duduo has moved to Yangwu, he also knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to go to Hushan.
means.
But since Duduo dares to fight, he must be confident. There were intrigues in the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty was the same. Although Huang Taiji had made peace with his brother Dorgon on the surface, he secretly kept an eye on the military power in Duduo's hands.
He was thinking about how to transfer the military power to his own name. This time Duduo sent troops to Sanhe Ferry, it was a complete situation. Duduo felt that he could not lose. As long as he lost, Huang Taiji would have sufficient reason to take back the military power in his hands.
Then someone was sent to replace him.
Although this attack on Sanhe Ferry is a disaster, it is also an opportunity. We must fight a good battle. We must let Huang Taiji know that his Duduo is no worse than his brother Dorgon. He wants better.
To survive, you have to prove your worth. Jurchens originated from the white mountains and black waters. They are the most profit-oriented. If you are useful, you can live. If you are not useful, just go back to the tribe and look after the backyard.
A total of 20,000 elite soldiers were stationed securely in the south of Yangwucheng. More than 20 miles south of Yangwucheng was by the Sanhe River. Duduo was not busy attacking the city, but it puzzled Yang Sichang and others, because just
The location of Duduo is very mysterious. It seems that you can attack Yangwucheng to the north and Sanhe to the south. But if you think about it carefully, it is also full of dangers. If the Ming army on the south bank of Sanhe comes to the north bank, and cooperates with Yangwucheng
With an army of 20,000 men attacking from the north and south, Duduo's troops were in danger of being dumped on their foreheads.
Liu Shicheng was ordered to coordinate the three rivers and the front line, so he was naturally very concerned about the movements of the Jin Kingdom's troops. Ever since Duduo was stationed in the south of Yangwu, he had been constantly sending scouting horses to the north. He was deeply afraid of what the Jurchens might do again.
Liu Shicheng suspected that Duduo's soldiers and horses were bait, and the purpose was to deceive the Ming army and horses into gathering near Chaoyangwu. He was originally so suspicious, but Tanma searched several times and found no movement from Duduo in Liyang. As for Duoer in the north,
Gun and Wanyan Sheng stood still. For a moment, Liu Shicheng wondered whether the brothers of the Wanyan family had a life-and-death feud. Why did it look like Dorgon deliberately sent Duoduo to his death?
No matter what Liu Shicheng thought, Duduo seemed to be determined anyway. He stayed there for three days, and on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, there was no movement. Not to mention Liu Shicheng, even Duduo from Liyang City
I also started to curse in my heart. What the hell is this Duduo doing? He is advancing but not advancing, retreating but not retreating. Does he just want to waste time like this? Wasting time is not a good idea. The Ming Dynasty is rich in resources, and some of them can be used up.
, but not the Qing Dynasty.
However, Dorgon had the good sense not to rush Duduo. He had been brothers for many years and he still knew a little about his biological brother. He was not that kind of fool. He knew that delaying time would not be good for him, but he still did this.
Then 80% of the time, what is the evil idea?
As time passed, it was almost the Lantern Festival, and Duduo still remained motionless. At this time, Liu Shicheng, who had been stationed on the south bank of Sanhe, couldn't stand it anymore, because Duduo's troops
But he’s a big piece of fat. If he didn’t do something even though he knew that 20,000 people were going deep into the country alone, wouldn’t it be too incompetent?
From Yangwu to Sanhe, the soil is soft and there are many ravines, which is not suitable for cavalry at all. This also gave Liu Shicheng enough confidence. If there are 50,000 infantry and 20,000 infantry besieging Duduo, they can definitely fight.
Liu Shicheng had the idea of sending troops north to attack Duduo, but Yang Sichang of Xianghe City was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. When he left Xijin Prefecture to attack Jizhou City, didn't he also think that the chance of victory was high, but in the end, he ended up
It was so miserable that almost all the army of more than 100,000 people was wiped out. Now Liu Shicheng has such thoughts, which is simply stupid.
In the past, Yang Sichang would have criticized Liu Shicheng unceremoniously. But it is different now. Whether Yang Sichang can survive depends on Liu Shicheng's face. After hesitating for a long time, Yang Sichang wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to Liu Shicheng.
When the letter came to Liu Shicheng's hand, it was already the fifteenth hour of the first lunar month. He opened the letter, read it, and passed it on. After reading it, most of the generals in the tent looked happy. Among them, the commander Min Tianhe said with disdain,
"General Liu, General Yimo thinks that this young Privy Councilor must have been frightened out of his wits. This is near Gyeonggi Province. What the Jurchens do cannot be hidden from us. In the south of Yangwu, we have an absolute military advantage.
I really can’t figure out why we lost.”
Min Tianhe was really confident. His words were supported by most generals, and some people expressed doubts about it. However, Liu Shicheng's meaning was already very obvious, so these people did not say anything more.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Liu Shicheng gave an order and nearly 30,000 troops marched north along the Sanhe Bridge. Almost at the same moment, Duduo reacted. Without any panic, he ordered his 20,000 troops to immediately break up camp and divide things.
The two groups approached Yangwucheng. At this time, they divided their forces and approached Yangwucheng again. It was almost a lunatic move. Only Duduo knew whether he was truly crazy.
At least, Liu Shicheng was very happy when he learned that the Jurchen soldiers and horses were approaching Yangwu in two groups. As long as Cao Jilin, who was stationed in Yangwu City, tried his best to hold off Duoduo, the outcome of this battle would be obvious.
At noon, the Jurchen soldiers and horses, who had not rested for too long, began to attack Yangwu City. This time, Duduo had no reservations. All 20,000 troops rushed forward. The city walls were surrounded by Jurchens. Everyone thought that Duduo was crazy.
, he did this because he wanted to bet that he could capture Yangwucheng before Liu Shicheng's army arrived.
Everyone is not worried that Duduo from Liyang City will send reinforcements here. Duduo only has 10,000 infantry under his command. These people are also restrained by Xianghe City and cannot fully support Yangwu and Dorgon.
The army was unable to quench their thirst. The fierce siege seemed to be as everyone expected. The Jurchens' crazy siege seemed ferocious, but Yangwucheng did not fall. Instead, the Jurchens suffered a heavy blow.
The attack lasted only an hour, and after leaving nearly three thousand corpses behind, Dodo gave the order to retreat.
This time, Duduo really withdrew. The Jurchen soldiers and horses who had suffered heavy losses turned around and headed east, heading straight to Liyang in the northeast. It seemed that Duduo was about to escape.
Duduo's escape made Liu Shicheng anxious, and Cao Jilin who was stationed in Yangwucheng was also anxious. Liu Shicheng was worried, and while urging the army to speed up the march, he ordered Cao Jilin to try his best to hold back the Jin soldiers and horses, and to prepare for the brigade.
The troops and horses arrived to gain time. After receiving Liu Shicheng's order, Cao Jilin led more than 10,000 troops and horses out of Yangwucheng without thinking too much.
Cao Jilin was afraid that he would let Duduo go and lose such a great achievement in vain, so he was anxious. In his anxiety, he ignored some details of the smile. In fact, from the beginning, the Jurchen soldiers and horses behaved a bit abnormally, and they fled in an orderly manner.
In an orderly manner, there is also the fact that although the Jurchens lost three thousand soldiers and horses under Yangwu City, they were not injured. However, the number of Jurchens fled became smaller and smaller. You must know that there was no large group of soldiers to stop the Jurchens in front.
Ma, this situation is really weird.
Unfortunately, Cao Jilin, who was dazzled by the victory, did not notice this. Just as he was leading his men in a hurry to catch up, countless small groups of Jurchen soldiers and horses had already left the main army and slowly circled behind Cao Jilin.
