Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 193

"Khan, do you want to continue fighting?"

At this time, Du Du asked.

beat?
Still don't fight?

Hearing Du Du's words, Huang Taiji suddenly fell into deep thought. Now these Ming troops outside the capital are obviously hard-headed. Although they will definitely win, the casualties are definitely not small. Now these people he brought are the absolute elite of the Eight Banners , Once the casualties are too large, the foundation of Hou Jin will definitely be shaken.

But if they don't fight, it means that they have to leave the pass in despair. After all, if they don't conquer the emperor and ministers of Ming Dynasty, they can't divide their troops to loot everywhere, otherwise they will be the ones who are in danger.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji also had a headache. If he fights, the casualties must be not small. If he doesn't fight, it will have a great impact on his status, because this entry was proposed by him. If he can't loot anything, he will die in despair If he leaves, his prestige will be wiped out, and those who follow him will abandon him.

Don't look at him as a great Khan now, but his status in Houjin is not supreme. At the beginning, Nurhaci established the eight kings' political system of the four big belors and the four little belors. They were still young, so they changed to the four major Baylors to take turns ruling.

And he can become a Great Khan, mainly because he is the strongest. Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai would recommend him as a Great Khan, but Amin has always refused to accept him, and Amin's strength is not much weaker than him .

So he is a great Khan, but Amin, Daishan, and Manggurtai are also equal to him. In the past three years, he has been wooing Dorgon and the others, trying to weaken Amin's power, and it has achieved initial results up.

If he fled back to the grassland in despair this time, then everything he had done before would be useless, because there is only one Jurchen rule, whoever has the ability wins the position. If he loses, it means that he has no ability. People can't grab anything, what is it if they don't have the ability?
"beat!"

After pondering for a long time, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said: "But how to fight, we have to plan carefully, and we can't mess around."

It’s impossible not to fight, there are only a few routes to leave the customs. Although they now occupy Zunhua, Yongping, Funing and other cities, even if they want to loot all the wealth of these cities, and then leave the customs, they still need to It takes a lot of time, and the marching speed cannot be fast enough to escort these wealth, and a large number of troops are needed to escort them.

If the pass is blocked by the Ming army, they will wait to become the turtle in the urn. What's more, King Qin's army from all over the Ming Dynasty is coming one after another.

So they either give up now and flee back to the grassland in desperation, or defeat the Ming army in front of them, beat up the monarchs and ministers who are afraid of Ming, and then search for all the wealth here, and leave the pass in a big way.

...

On the other side, under the city wall, Man Gui and Hou Shilu counted the results of the battle excitedly. This is a big victory!
Although Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan reported at every turn before, killing thousands of enemies and beheading tens of thousands, everyone, including the emperor, knew that this was nonsense. If so many people were really killed, the Jurchens would be dead. Come to the pass.

And now they beheaded nearly [-] people, which is a solid record, and it is still at such an important moment as protecting the capital, this is a great achievement, and this achievement is enough for them to be promoted.

"General Deng, Governor Yuan really deserves to be Governor Yuan. In just a few months, he has trained such a powerful army."

Turning his head to look at the [-] soldiers Deng Kui brought, Man Gui couldn't help sighing, if Deng Kui's [-] soldiers and horses hadn't blocked the Jurchen's main elite, they would have been lucky to have survived.

You must know that Hou Shilu was almost defeated when he faced [-] Jurchen cavalry before, but Deng Kui faced [-] cavalry, and he just attacked from behind.

Hearing this, Deng Kui just smiled and didn't say much. The appearance of these soldiers has nothing to do with Yuan Chonghuan. No record.

Later, Guo Qin adjusted his tactics, focusing on consuming the gunpowder and defense materials in Linqingzhou City. He arranged for soldiers to attack the city in turn every two or three days. If they come out, the puppet Qi rebels in Linqingzhou City will not leave the city, otherwise they would not have such a good opportunity to train troops.

...

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youjian was smiling. This was the only good news he had heard since he ascended the throne. Especially in the battle outside Desheng Gate, nearly three thousand people were beheaded, and the Jurchens fled in embarrassment. Since the loss of Liaodong, the Jurchen was defeated in a frontal battle for the first time.

"Sun Aiqing, where are Yuan Chonghuan and the others?"

After restraining his emotions, Zhu Youjian looked at Sun Chengzong who was aside. In order to resist the Jurchen, he deliberately summoned Sun Chengzong who had returned home from hermitage.

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to the news sent back by Yuan Chonghuan, they have already arrived in Tianjin, and they should reach the capital in five days. The [-] troops led by Guo Qin have already been stationed in Baodi. back road."

Sun Chengzong clasped his hands and said with a slight smile on his face. The issue of the Jurchens has puzzled Da Ming for more than ten years, and it has always been a serious concern for Da Ming. , Retaking Liaodong is just around the corner.

Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong couldn't help admiring Su Hao. He thought Su Hao was just a traitor, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a heart. Obviously, as long as Yuan Chonghuan's 20 army is entangled, Beizhili will let the Jurchen's iron hooves If trampled on, Da Ming's vitality will also be severely injured, and he will not have much energy to deal with him.

It never occurred to Su Hao that he would let Yuan Chonghuan go north for the righteousness of the Han people. We must know that once Daming regains Liaodong and solves the border troubles, then he can concentrate all his energy on dealing with him.

However, Su Hao only occupied Shandong, if he wanted to fight Daming with only Shandong, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg. If he were in Su Hao's position, he might not be able to make up his mind.

"That's good."

Zhu Youjian's mood is better.

.........

On the Bohai Sea, there are nearly [-] large and small sea ships rising and falling with the waves. This is the navy fleet that Su Hao collected all the sea ships in Shandong.

At this time, the sea ships were full of soldiers, and on the largest sea ship, Tang Xiangjin looked at the distant land, which was Liaodong.

"Captain, that's the Jinzhou Central Left Office over there."

At this time, a navy soldier came behind Tang Xiangjin.

"Feng Baihu, how is the situation at Jinzhou Guard?"

Tang Xiangjin looked at the hundreds of households at the Black Ice Terrace. Although the original Jinyiwei was renamed the Black Ice Terrace by Su Hao, Su Hao did not change the organization and still used the Jinyiwei organization.

"Back to the governor, the Jurchen didn't pay too much attention to the Jinzhou Guard. They only arranged for a Niu Lu Ezhen to lead dozens of Eight Banners soldiers and a Han Niu Lu to garrison at the guard station."

Feng Hui cupped his hands and replied, "However, there is a Jurchen Niu Lu and two Han Niu Lu at the Fuzhou Guard."

"Is that so?"

Tang Xiangjin looked northeast: "What about Gaizhou Wei and Haizhou Wei?"

Liaodong is a place of bitter cold in Daming, and there is no chief envoy, but the Liaodong capital is in charge, and each guard is responsible for a place.

Hearing Tang Xiangjin's words, Feng Hui thought for a while before saying: "Gaizhou Guard has three Jurchen Niulu and two Mongolian Niulu, four Han Niulu stationed there, a total of 700 people, Haizhou Guard has four Jurchen Niulu, Menghan Niulu eight, a total of 600 people."

Hearing this, Tang Xiangjin fell into deep thought. The two guards guarded the Liaoxi Corridor and entered the important place of Liaodong. The soldiers and horses in the guards would not easily leave the garrisoned place, but now Daming is trapped in Ningyuan and dare not leave easily. If the soldiers and horses in the two guards heard that the Jinzhou Guard and the Fuzhou Guard had fallen, there was no guarantee that they would not be dispatched.

"Zhou Qianhu, Fang Qianhu, the two of you lead troops to land near Muchang Station, and then take down Jinzhou Guard."

After thinking for a while, Tang Xiangjin said that there are only more than 300 people in the Golden State Guard, and most of them are Han Chinese. There are more than 2000 people in two thousand households. It should be enough to win the Golden State Guard.

He brought 4 people with him this time. According to Su Hao's intention, he will relocate another [-] people and set up stone forts every ten miles to completely block the Jurchens from Shenyang City to Liaoyang City. Given that the Jurchens don't pay much attention to Liaodong, as long as Gaizhou Guard can be captured and defended, the Jurchens are likely to ignore them.

The main reason why the Jurchens don't pay much attention to the Liaodong side is that, except for Shenliao's side, which is a plain area, other places are hilly terrain. This terrain is extremely unfavorable for the cavalry on which the Jurchens are famous. There is very little officialdom, and without the advantage of cavalry, the Jurchens are not stronger than the Han people, and even a little weaker. After all, the Han people still have the advantage in weapons.

"Yes, the next officer takes orders!"

Hearing Tang Xiangjin's order, Fang Jianzhi and Zhou Rui agreed with each other.

Not long after, hundreds of small wooden boats were put down on the ship, and then each small boat slowly headed towards the shore carrying a few soldiers and food and supplies. They went back and forth four or five times until the sky was getting dark. The soldiers and all the necessary supplies were transported ashore.

Looking at the returning boat, Tang Xiangjin narrowed his eyes slightly. If Fuzhouwei is occupied, a wharf must be built as soon as possible, otherwise it will not be enough to rely on small boats for transportation.

.........

Jinan Fucheng, Daqi Palace.

In the Zichen Palace, Su Hao looked at Pan Ning, the City God of Jinan Mansion who was wearing a unicorn suit, with a strange look in his eyes. He has occupied Shandong for two years, and no City God has ever come to see him on his own initiative before. He never expected that Pan Ning would do so today. Ask to see.

And Pan Ning also looked at Su Hao. Although Su Hao had been in Shandong for several years, this was the first time he saw Su Hao with his own eyes.

The two sides just looked at each other quietly, and neither of them took the initiative to speak. Both of them knew that whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.

"Pan Ning, City God of Jinan Prefecture, is meeting His Majesty the Emperor Qi!"

After confronting for a long time, Pan Ning gave in first, and took the initiative to salute. His temple is in Jinan Fucheng. If he offended Su Hao, Su Hao would directly demolish his temple, destroy his statue, and cut him off. incense, then he is finished.

"Pan Chenghuang is dead!"

Seeing that Pan Ning was subdued, Su Hao didn't continue to put on airs, and said indifferently: "I don't know what is Pan Chenghuang's request to see?"

"Going back to His Majesty the Emperor Qi, the little god is asking to see him because he has something to tell."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Pan Ning clasped his hands and said, "Since His Majesty occupied Shandong, Jinyiwei has been abolished. There is no one to control the crooked ways of the evil spirits in the world. Some demons have begun to cause harm to the world. I hope that His Majesty will re-establish the Jinyiwei to suppress the evil spirits." Crooked ways, return the world to a clear day."

Demons and ghosts causing harm to the world?
Hearing this, Su Hao frowned. Pan Ning's reason for coming was something he hadn't expected, but what Pan Ning said was not false. Ever since he raised his army, Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of suppressing demons and ghosts in Shandong, disappeared completely.

Either they became his generals like Tang Xiangjin and the others, or they were killed. Most of the remaining school lieutenants were incorporated into the army, and the rest either fled or died.
