Feng Tang put his hand on his forehead, feeling slumped.
Although he had long known that the fate of Shuerhaqi would be dire if Fushun was lost, hearing such news still made him furious.
The wedge that he had painstakingly cultivated to penetrate the Jianzhou Jurchens was pulled out by Nurhachi in this way?
“Go on.” Feng Tang’s voice became less angry.
“... Later, when the Donglu attacked the pass, it is unclear how the Fushun Pass was opened, but they did not experience a battle. It should be that someone inside opened the gate, and then the Donglu entered the pass in large numbers..."
“Didn’t Shenyang get the news?” Feng Tang gritted his teeth.
"I don't know much about it. After the Donglu entered Fushun City, I learned from my relatives that it was Li Yongfang's in-law Zhao Yihe who personally led the Donglu to blockade the entire Fushun City. I knew that the situation was not good, and the whole city was blocked overnight. With the help of relatives, I rappelled over the wall, and then ran to Dongzhou Fort to borrow a horse and came over overnight."
Feng Tang pondered for a moment and felt a little calmer: "So, not everyone is willing to follow Li Yongfang and surrender to the Donglu?"
“Definitely not everyone, but Li Yongfang has been in Fushun for many years, and there are many officers and soldiers who are closely related to him. For example, the guards at Hoi’an Fort and Fushun Pass are all Li Yongfang’s confidants...”
Feng Tang knew that he had been careless. Li Yongfang had indeed behaved so submissively and loyally that he had paralyzed himself. As a result, the problem lay with him.
Although Li Yongfang was not promoted and appointed by him but by Li Chengliang, now that he is the governor of Jiliao and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, this responsibility is his own.
But now it is meaningless to discuss responsibility, but to consider how to remedy this disaster.
It should be said that he moved the Ula tribe to the territory of the Yehe tribe. This move caught Nurhachi off guard, and Nurhachi, who originally wanted to take this opportunity to annex the Ula tribe, lost this opportunity. However, he did it for himself in Fushun. This is considered a counterattack.
In this round, it seemed that there was mutual attack and defense, but in fact, I still suffered a loss. Li Yongfang's rebellion took away thousands of soldiers, and more importantly, the gains and losses of Fushun City and Fushun Pass.
Fushun must be taken back.
Feng Tang doesn’t think that Nurhachi dares to occupy Fushun, so he will really have to fight with Nurhachi.
"Renlong, you immediately lead your headquarters eastward and go to Weining Camp. I will give you an order to take all the Weining Camp troops with you and rush to Sanyangyu at starry night, and then stop at Dongzhou Fort. I estimate that Nurhaci's The purpose is to instigate Li Yongfang's rebellion, and to rob the people of Fushun City beyond the border wall. This is his main purpose. The purpose of your going is to make the other party have some scruples and not let him burn the city and destroy the gates. It may prevent him from successfully bringing the people out of the detention center..."
He Renlong immediately stood up and obeyed the order, and asked by the way: "What about the Shuerhaqi tribe?"
Feng Tang shook his head dejectedly: "I'm sorry for Shuerhaqi and his son. I'm afraid they have been surrounded and annihilated by Nurhachi now. It's too late. Li Yongfang is trying to kill me!"
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!
He Renlong said silently, indeed this is like breaking an arm of Liaodong. Originally, a Haixi Jurchen Yehe tribe and a Jiawu La tribe, and a Jianzhou Jurchen Shurhaqi tribe were the two most effective constraints extended by Liaodong Town. Due to Donglu's methods, Shuerhaqi tribe was wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving only the Haixi Jurchens.
"Renlong, go quickly. I'll ask You Shilu to send troops from Shenyang immediately. In addition, my Fire Gun Battalion will rush to help, but I guess it won't help. Let's do our best." Feng Tang sighed.
After sending He Renlong away, Feng Tang also began to think about how to explain the matter to the court. He originally thought that Nurhaci might take advantage of the situation and attack the Ural tribe, so he took the first step. He never expected that Nurhachi would come to him one after another. .
Well done.
Feng Tangdu had to admit that Nurhaci’s hand hurt him.
Maybe my position as Governor of Ji Liao is a little unstable.
Feng Tang shook his head. For a moment, Feng Tang didn't know how to explain this situation to the emperor, the cabinet, Zhang Jingqiu, and Chai Ke. A dignified guerrilla general actually rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and he was also a general guarding a key place. He was the governor. How on earth are you doing it?
Write a letter to the court to apologize, and also write to Ziying to ask for her opinion.
Feng Ziying didn't know that her father was also in trouble, and she still expected herself to give him advice to tide over the difficulties. Now he was focused on reviewing the situation in Gyeonggi Province.
You Shilulai's letter mentioned a lot of situations, and you can basically get a rough idea by comparing it with the map, but knowing it does not mean that you can solve the problem.
The Chahars and Outer Khalkhas have now made a mess in the north. The entire northern defense line is in a state of emergency. The Jizhen Army has also been divided into several parts. Especially Li Ruzhang's department is in danger. If a solution cannot be quickly come up with, it may be possible. Will become prey in the hands of the Mongols.
The eyes of several people fell on Feng Ziying.
Although Huang Degong and Hou Chengzu had not known Feng Ziying for a long time, Feng Ziying showed her foresight, accurate judgment of the current situation, decisiveness in dealing with the war, and uniqueness in soldier training during this short period of time. They were all impressed by his strategy.
Just Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and Hou Chengzu were the two who most intuitively witnessed the entire process of the Qian'an Defense War.
Especially after the Neikhalk people were beaten and bloodied in the Qian'an Defense War, they suddenly raided the Beijing camp. The 80,000-strong Beijing camp collapsed overnight, and more than 50,000 people, including a large number of senior generals, were captured.
, it is incredible to think about it. The bad impression left by the Nei Khalkha people at the foot of Qian'an City was reversed.
“Sir, what should we do now?” The three of them looked at Feng Ziying eagerly.
Huang Degong was a little older and had more knowledge. He mused: "Although Li Ruzhang is the son of Li Chengliang, he still defended Gubeikou. If Huairou and Miyun were lost and his troops were surrounded and annihilated, I am afraid that Commander You and even the Governor
It’s hard for adults to escape their involvement.”
Feng Ziying was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Huang Degong to have such insight. He nodded: "Well, if Li Ruzhang's tribe is really destroyed, although this is the main reason in Xuanfu Town, You Shigong, as the commander-in-chief of Ji Town, will not consider it.
Zhou, for his poor response, will definitely be impeached. My father, as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, and You Shigong, who strongly recommended you to take the position of commander-in-chief of Jizhen, cannot escape the responsibility."
“Brother, is there no remedy?” Zuo Liangyu couldn’t help but ask.
He and the Feng family are considered to be tied together, and they will both prosper and lose. If Feng Tang loses power and a new governor comes in the future, his future will naturally be cast into a shadow.
"How to remedy it? You can see clearly from the map that Gubeikou is a bulge outside the Great Wall. Now Huairou and Miyun have fallen. You Shigong gave up the line from Qiangziling to Zhenlu Camp on his own initiative. At that time, he was worried that Miyun would fall too quickly. You Shigong
The Shilu Division was attacked from a flank. Now it seems that You Shigong was a little too hasty. If you don't give up the Zhenlu Camp-Qiangziling line easily, Miyun insists and informs Gubeikou Li Ruzhang's Division to move south quickly, right?
Have the opportunity?"
Feng Ziying frowned: "But that would be a risk. It depends on whether Miyun can persist for a period of time. The enemy situation was unknown at that time, and it was probably very difficult for You Shigong to make this decision. If it is not done quickly and thoroughly, once Miyun is lost, You Shilu
The main force of the army is being attacked from two sides, and in the next step there will be no troops available outside the capital city."
"Sir, I'm afraid it's not that Mr. You doesn't dare to take risks, but that Mr. You is not allowed to take risks in the capital city." Huang Degong shook his head and said softly: "Besides, we are dealing with Waikakarka and Chaha coming from Xuanfu.
It is indeed dangerous to defend Miyun when we do not know the situation of the enemy. There are also enemy troops coming in from the Mutianyu-Dashui Valley area, and Miyun is also facing a pincer attack."
Feng Ziying suddenly realized something and took a look at Huang Degong. This guy was a thoughtful person, thinking more than Zuo Liangyu. No wonder he was the leader of the four towns in Jiangbei in his previous life.
Indeed, even if You Shigong wanted to take the risk and insist on guarding Miyun, if he failed to hold it, You Shilu's tribe would be in danger, and once the Chahar and Waikalka people succeeded in the pincer attack, the capital city would be really in danger.
Zhang Jingqiu, Chai Ke, Emperor Yonglong, and the cabinet are probably more concerned about the safety of the capital city. As for Li Ruzhang's department, what does that mean?
But when the score is settled later, will these people speak softly for you, You Shigong?
Will the censors listen to your explanations?
Would the emperor let you go for these reasons?
Dad’s problem is not that big. At most, it’s just a rebuke, a fine, and meritorious service. But the commander-in-chief, You Shigong, is afraid that he has to get out before his butt gets hot. If someone else were to take the seat, I’m afraid that might not be the case.
He will be my dad's favorite choice.
Feng Ziying stared at the map in front of her. Her father was in trouble, and he had to help him solve the problem. Saving Li Ruzhang's tribe might not allow You Shigong to escape guilt, but if he could not save Li Ruzhang's tribe, You Shigong would definitely be impeached.
Hold accountable.
In addition, Ji Zhen is now in such a state that his father is not only the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, but also the governor of Ji Liao. Although the court had previously ordered his father to focus on the enemy situation in Liaodong, Ji Zhen did not need to worry too much, but this time
Finally, when it comes to discussing merits, I am afraid that not everyone will remember to let you concentrate on taking charge of Liaodong. It will be said that as the governor of Jiliao, you lacked the overall situation and failed to coordinate the overall situation, which led to this difficulty.
This possibility is not impossible. The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all top-notch in their ability to throw blame. When competing for credit, they were more stubborn than anyone else.
Even if Ke and Qi Yongtai defend themselves, they may not be able to escape from open and covert attacks.
Feng Ziying cannot tolerate this situation happening.
