The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 602
Just as Hong Xie led the army back to Shengjing, North Korea received news of success.

"Marshal Du" led [-] to [-] soldiers from the Han army and Goryeo to fight fiercely with the Dongjiang soldiers and the Korean army for more than half a month, losing more than [-] and killing more than [-] enemies. Now Uiju has been completely taken.

The Dongjiang soldiers and the North Korean army fled to Phi Island, Shenmi Island and more than a dozen islands to survive. It is a pity that Dajin does not have a strong navy and cannot seize those islands and completely wipe out Dongjiang Town.

Seeing that Kong Youde, Zhang Cunren, etc. made new achievements, Hongxie added rank and rank to dozens of generals who participated in the war.

In order to check and balance, Hong Jie transported most of the population plundered from Shanxi back to Liaodong to Pyongyang, and dispatched [-] newly surrendered Chahar Mongolian cavalry to settle in North Korea with their families.

The slave chieftains took control of the whole of North Korea by the method of the Eight Banners and the Mongols driving the Han people to manage the Goryeo people.

Jinzhou's Zu Dashou was not prepared to lie to Hong this time, but he broke his cans and made preparations for surrender when he could no longer get Daming's salary.

The reason why the ancestor's family is so powerful in Jinzhou is because Zu Dashou is the commander-in-chief of the left governor of the Ming Dynasty who bears the seal of a forward general.

There are dozens of ancestral nephews and confidantes who served as deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, and garrisons in the army. They not only have the righteousness of the court, but also have absolute strength.

But when he was about to defect to the enemy, he really couldn't ensure that everyone would follow him. He didn't even think that all the generals in his direct line would choose to surrender and become slaves.

The current situation in Jinzhou is very different from that of Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan in the 17th year of Chongzhen.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had already set, and the people in the Western Mountains were in dire straits. The capital was lost, and the emperor was hanged.

At this time, it was only seven years since Chongzhen, and Daming had not yet reached the desperate situation of betraying relatives and being thrown into the capital by rogue bandits.

What's more, there is a thriving "Red Banner Army" in Ningyuan and Tashan, showing off its muscles to win over the people controlled by Zu Dashou.

Inertial thinking is not simple. After all, Ming Dynasty is a great country that has existed for more than [-] decades. What kind of shameless civil servants and military generals would willingly surrender to a barbarian tribe?
Therefore, Zu Dashou also had a crisis of rain and wind, and now he began to suffer from insomnia all night.

Jinzhou claims to have [-] to [-] troops, but the actual number of troops will not exceed [-]. Due to the continuous deployment of cavalry in the past two years, the proportion of cavalry has decreased, and now there are less than [-] cavalry.

The vast majority of the troops stationed in Jinzhou can be regarded as the ancestral army, and they are absolute direct descendants, with a number of [-] and [-] cavalry.

Because most of the confidantes, brothers, and nephews have either surrendered to Jianshou, or are fighting in the pass.

It directly caused Zu Dashou to control the number of generals in his lineage. Now only his brother Zu Daquan and his adopted son Zu Zeyuan are available. Zu Dashou is really worried that there will be a mutiny when he announces his surrender.

The main reason is that the "Red Banner Army" was too bad, which made the Jinzhou Ming army have a pure land in their hearts.

I'm afraid that many Ming soldiers didn't care about whether there was Zu Dashou as the head of the family. Maybe some Ming soldiers who had already awakened thought that without the ancestor's family, Jinzhou's soldiers and civilians should live better under the leadership of the "Red Banner Army".

After the Jin army came to the city of Jinzhou, there was no battle, and they retreated without even destroying it. This is against common sense.

Most of the generals of the Ming army noticed something, and many civil officials who accompanied the army to praise paintings, give things to officials, censors, and garrison grain general judges had a premonition of imminent disaster.

The Jinyiwei and Bannerguards lurking in the Jinzhou Army have obtained accurate information and began to collect evidence of the joint treason of the eunuchs and the Zu Taibao.

The flag guards are active, and their task is to win as many Jinzhou troops as possible to defect to Ningyuan.

The Jinzhou general Jin Guofeng who was stationed on the front line of Songshan was the target of the banner guards. Now the two sons of the Jin family who served in the army with their father have been bewitched by the banner guards to defect to Ningyuan.

It's just that the upright Jin Guofeng's character is somewhat similar to He Kegang, he doesn't believe that Zu Dashou will surrender to build slaves at all.

After all, Huang Han had a personal enmity with his ancestor's family, and most of the soldiers of the Ming army knew about it. He believed that the "Red Banner Army" was suspected of deliberately slandering Zu Taibao.

In recent years, the "Red Banner Army" and the Ancestral Army have been fighting openly and secretly. Jin Guofeng believes that in the final analysis, interests are at work, and it is because of the ratio of Liao's salary that the two armies are fighting each other.

Jin Guofeng refused to abolish the public for personal reasons, and was unwilling to intervene in the struggle for power between the two camps of Ningyuan and Jinzhou. He chose to do his job well and lead the less than 3000 troops under his command to stick to Songshan.

The Tashan South Fort defense line is more than sixty miles away from Songshan where Jin Guofeng is stationed. Zu Dashou has increased his troops in Tashan Fort in order to prevent Jinzhou troops from defecting to Ningyuan.

At the end of September, Huang Han went to Beijing again. The "Red Banner Army" around him had only one hundred young cavalry musketeers and eleven personal guards.

More than [-]% of the Jinyiwei and Jingying cavalry were lost, a small half of them died in the battle and more than half were still recovering from their wounds. Only more than [-] returned home with honor.

The triumphant return of the hero, it is inevitable that the capital will be empty again, and Wu Nage was indeed hacked into pieces, and too many soldiers and civilians of the capital competed for his flesh.

More than [-] troops were dispatched, and more than [-] beheads were beheaded. The generals who attacked took the greatest credit.

The emperor rewarded meritorious deeds, and Fang Zhenghua, one of the supervisors of ceremonies, became the chief eunuch who supervised the people in the Beijing camp, and was the most popular eunuch.

Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, and Sun Yingyuan, the three guerrilla generals of the Beijing camp, became second-rank generals, and they were actually awarded, with more than a thousand troops under their command.

Li Ruolian became the Commander of Jinyiwei with the title of Governor of the Right Capital, in charge of the entire Beizhen Fusi, and another guard commander Luo Yangxing was sent to Nanjing to take charge of the Nanzhen Fusi.

Lou Yun was promoted to Jinyiwei Tongzhi, Ai Guodong, You Cunqing, and Zhang Chao were appointed as Jinyiwei's signatories, and each actually controlled two Jinyiwei Thousand Households.

Liu Zhilun was appointed by the emperor as the left servant of the Ministry of War. This time, it was not a vacant position, but a real appointment. From now on, he will be the second in command of the Ministry of War.

The number one hero, Huang Han, got the hereditary marquis this time, and stayed in the capital to serve as the admiral of the capital. His infant son, Huang Jin, was taken over by the young marquis and became the eldest son recognized by the court.

Huang Yizhou was canonized as a vanguard general with the addition of Zuo Dudu, Han Zi was added as Zuo Dudu, Yang Danian was added as Right Dudu, Yang Guoen, Song Pengfei, Yang Hanwei, Sang Yu, Liu Fenyong, Zhang Yang and other generals all received one or two grades of disqualification. Waiting for promotion.

Gao Youmou not only made great achievements in managing Dengzhou, but also took the initiative to lead the cavalry to help the capital in time. His men and horses made a lot of money and were promoted. The imperial court resumed the position of governor of Denglai.
