The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 657: Emperor Chongzhen's Suspicion and Yuan Chonghuan's Loyalty
The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che narrowed his eyes and sighed:
"This method may win or lose."

"If he wins, Huang Taiji's prestige will be greatly enhanced, and at the same time, the Ming Dynasty will be dealt a fatal blow."

"Even if we don't win, we can still take advantage of the opportunity to plunder wealth."

Xiao Liu looked at the sky, blinked and said:

"If you fail, they will block your retreat and rob you of your hometown. You won't even be able to go back."

Liu Che smiled and touched his head.

"First of all, the Ming army must have the ability."

"Secondly, do they dare to attack Wei to save Zhao?"

"They don't dare, so they can only follow behind others."

"The initiative lies in Huang Taiji's hands."

Liu Che looked up at the bloody battle in the sky and sighed sadly:
"He fights when he wants to and retreats when he wants to."

"A risky move is not a risky move, it is a winning move."

……

[On October 26, the Eight Banners Army attacked the Longjing Pass and Da'ankou Pass on the Great Wall from the east and west.]

[The Later Jin army did not encounter any strong resistance and successfully broke through the Great Wall. On the 30th, they arrived at the city of Zunhua, 300 miles away from the capital.]

[On October 29, Yuan Chonghuan went from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, making overall arrangements while blocking the Later Jin army from advancing southward.]

[Because Huang Taiji's army broke through Longjing Pass and Da'ankou and headed directly for Zunhua, which was an important town in Jingdong, Yuan Chonghuan wanted to stop the Later Jin army here. He urgently ordered Zhao Lujiao, the general of Ping Liao, to lead 4,000 troops to rescue Zunhua.]

【Zhao Lujiao once served as the general of Jizhen and was familiar with the situation in Jizhen.】

[He led his troops to gallop for three days and nights, covering 350 miles, and arrived at Santunying, east of Zunhua]

[But Zhu Guoyan, the general of the Santun Camp, refused to let him enter the city, so Zhao Lujiao had no choice but to ride his horse westward, towards Zunhua.]

[On the fourth day of the eleventh month, Zhao Lujiao led the reinforcements to the outskirts of Zunhua City, where they encountered the four banners of the Manchu left wing and Mongolian troops led by the Later Jin Beile Ajige. They mistakenly fell into an ambush, were shot by arrows and fell off their horses, and died in battle. The entire army was annihilated.]

……

Song Zhenzong period
"I'm waiting for you..."

Zhao Heng was really surprised!

No scouts? Aren't you familiar with the terrain?

This small number of people is not even enough to fill the teeth of the Jin army.

It's obvious that they are just waiting for something to happen.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"Bang" sound!
The tea spilled out of the cup and onto the table.

"damn it!"

Zhu Di's face flushed red, and he said angrily:
"Is he worthy of the surname Zhu?!"

This scene reminded him of the border generals of the Song Dynasty.

Incompetent bungler!

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said:

"Zhao Lujiao, the commander of Jinzhou during the Battle of Ningjin."

"Huang Taiji returned without success in Jinzhou, and Zhao Rushi was defeated by the Jin army in Zunhua..."

"Nothing is permanent."

……

[On that day, the Later Jin army attacked Zunhua City. They first tried to persuade him to surrender, but were rejected. Then they attacked the city from all sides. The Ming governor Wang Yuanya held on to the city and put up a tenacious resistance.]

[The next day, Zunhua was set on fire by an insider, and the city fell.]

【Governor Wang Yuanya walked into the government office and hanged himself. All the officers, soldiers and civilians in the city who resisted were massacred.】

[Then, the Later Jin army attacked Santunying east of Zunhua. Deputy General Zhu Laitong and his men escaped. General Zhu Guoyan posted the names of the escaped generals on a notice board on the street, and then hanged himself with his wife Zhang.]

[On the seventh day, the Later Jin army broke through the Santun Camp. The Ming Dynasty lost the opportunity to block the Later Jin army in Zunhua.]

[The fall of Zunhua was reported to the Ming court, and people's hearts were shaken, and the government and the people were terrified. At that time, "the prefectures and counties in the east of the capital were frightened by the wind and cranes, and people had no firm will."]

……

Datang.

Li Shimin looked at the marching routes of the two armies, stroking his beard as he analyzed.

"Defend the capital from behind and resist the enemy from the front."

"The strategy is fine, but it's too rigid."

Li Chengqian could only see that Yuan Chonghuan's strategic goal was to keep the Later Jin out of the capital and deploy troops to rely on the city for defense.

"What do you mean by too rigid?"

Li Shimin looked at the sky and said:

"Yuan Chonghuan had fought against the Later Jin for many years and was well aware of the advantages of the Later Jin cavalry in field battles. The Ming army could only win by fighting in the city.

"But isn't Huang Taiji always like this?"

"If they know each other well, then the winner will be in the surprise."

"Huang Taiji actually dared to launch a surprise attack through a detour, so I won't fight him head-on."

"Yuan Chonghuan's best option at this time is to advance

Jizhou."

Li Chengqian looked at the location of Jizhou in the sky.

Jizhou is located between Zunhua and Tongzhou.

It is about 140 miles away from Tongzhou, east of Beijing. "It is indeed a strategic location."

Li Shimin shook his head and said:
"Letting him march here is not to fight Huang Taiji, but to deter him."

Li Chengqian was confused for a moment.

Li Shimin pointed to Shunyi and other places on the side and said:
"Huang Taiji won't waste time with him here, and he doesn't have time to waste."

"So he will choose to bypass Jizhou."

"At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had two choices."

"First, reinforcements to Beijing."

"Second, garrison Jizhou."

"If Yuan Chonghuan stayed in Jizhou, Huang Taiji would not be able to take the capital even if he rushed over, and his retreat would be cut off, leaving him in a dilemma. That would really realize Yuan's siege strategy."

Li Chengqian could roughly guess Yuan Chonghuan's choice.

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and said calmly:
"But no matter which one you choose."

"Yuan Chonghuan will not have a good ending."

"It is a fact that Huang Taiji bypassed the border and approached the capital."

"If the private peace talks are exposed..."

……

[Huang Taiji ordered 800 soldiers to guard Zunhua, and personally led the Later Jin army southward, heading towards Beijing and approaching Jizhou.]

[On the fifth day of November, Yuan Chonghuan personally led 9,000 soldiers and horses, and the general Zu Dashou and deputy general He Kegang led the cavalry, and personally rushed into the pass to defend Beijing.]

[On the tenth day, Yuan's army rushed into Jizhou.]

[Emperor Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan to dispatch reinforcements from various towns and to act accordingly.]

【At this time, a total of four Ming troops came to support the king. 】

[In addition to Yuan Chonghuan stationed in Jizhou, Changping General You Shiwei was stationed in Miyun, Datong General Man Gui was stationed in Shunyi, and Xuanfu General Hou Shilu was stationed in Sanhe.]

[Yuan's army blocked the way in Jizhou, and Chongzhen ordered "to do our best to block it and not let it go beyond Jixi." ]

[Huang Taiji led the Later Jin cavalry to avoid Jizhou where Yuan Chonghuan was, and successively conquered Sanhe, Xianghe, Shunyi and other places, and arrived at Tongzhou, 40 miles east of Beijing, on November 15.]

[Yuan Chonghuan led his troops to Tongzhou urgently, trying to intercept Huang Taiji's army in Tongzhou.]

[On November 17, Huang Taiji's army arrived at the horse ranch on the outskirts of Beijing.]

[On November 19, Yuan Chonghuan led 9,000 Guanning cavalrymen, galloping day and night for 120 miles, rushing through secret roads, and arrived outside Guangqumen, the outer city of Beijing, before Huang Taiji.]

[On November 20, the Eight Banners Army arrived at the gates of Beijing.]

……

{The Ming Dynasty's defense of Beijing has begun again...}
{Yuan Chonghuan would have been better off not saving Chongzhen.}
{Is he loyal...?}
{On the day Huang Taiji arrived in Tongzhou, Yuan Chonghuan held a military meeting in Hexiwu to discuss the advancement.}
{At that time, Deputy General Zhou Wenyu proposed that his cavalry could only approach the enemy and should not enter the capital.}
{“The enemy is in Tongzhou, and we are stationed in Zhangjiawan, which is fifteen miles away. We can get food from Hexiwu. If the enemy is in a weak position, we can fight him. If the enemy is in a strong position, we can take advantage of him. This is the best strategy.”}
{The meaning is very clear. Without a clear order, you should not enter the capital!}

{At that time, there were rumors in the court that he was suspected of leading the Later Jin troops into Beijing, so Emperor Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan not to go beyond Jizhou.}
{When faced with Zhou Wenyu's persuasion, Yuan Chonghuan said: "I am afraid that the rebels are extremely cunning. If they go to Jizhou, they will obviously hide and not fight with us. If they force their way to the capital, the morale of the people, who have never seen an enemy before, will be shaken, and the consequences will be unbearable."}
{“When your king and father are in trouble, why bother worrying about others? If I can help them, I will have no regrets even if I die.”}
{From a military perspective, Zhou Wenyu's suggestion was not feasible, because the Later Jin army had already reached Tongzhou, but the Qinwang army was waiting and waiting for the emperor's order, which was tantamount to letting a tiger down the mountain.}
{But from a political perspective, Zhou Wenyu's suggestion is not unreasonable.}
{According to the Ming Dynasty system, those who came to the capital to defend the emperor had to have the emperor's order, otherwise they would be punished severely.}
{At this time, Yuan Chonghuan had not received the imperial edict to go to Beijing.}
……

Big man.

Liu Bang thought about it briefly.

Directly:
"This man is dead."

"In five years, Liao was pacified, and the border generals were beheaded privately, and then the Jin people entered the pass."

"He was not allowed to go beyond Jizhou, and yet he led his troops to Beijing without authorization."

"If the private peace talks are revealed again..."

Liu Bang didn't say anything else.

With all these things happening one after another, who wouldn't be worried?
Even the most magnanimous emperor would have to stop him from staying behind.

And when he met the petty emperor...

Isn’t it a coincidence that all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were narrow-minded.

……

[On November 20, Datong General Man Gui and Xuanfu General Hou Shilu repelled the attack of the Later Jin army at Deshengmen.]

【Wang Chengyin's troops retreated without fighting, while Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou led the Guanning Army to fight briefly and then retreat.】

[The soldiers of the Beijing camp, led by the guerrilla generals Liu Yingguo, Luo Jingrong, and the captain Dou Jun, faced the Later Jin army head-on and pursued them all the way to the canal, killing more than a thousand enemies and losing hundreds of their own.

At this point, the defense of the capital city ended. 】

[On the 22nd, Huang Taiji asked the captured eunuch named Wang to deliver the peace agreement to Chongzhen in the city.]

[On the first day of December, seeing that there was no news about the peace agreement, Huang Taiji led his army to plunder supplies near the capital]

[On the same day, Chongzhen suddenly arrested Yuan Chonghuan while discussing military intelligence, ordered General Man Gui to lead the troops in Guan and Ning, and ordered General Zu Dashou and Hei Yunlong to join forces with Ma Shilong and others to fight the enemy and make meritorious contributions.]

[Yuan Chonghuan's general Zu Dashou was present and was horrified. Two days later, Zu Dashou led the Liaodong Army to retreat.]

[When Huang Taiji learned that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had imprisoned Yuan Chonghuan, he personally led his army back to Lugou Bridge in the southwest of the city. On December 17, he launched the Battle of Yongdingmen.]

[Among the four generals of the Ming Dynasty, Man Gui and Sun Zushou died in battle, and Hei Yunlong and Ma Dengyun were captured. ]

[Under the advice of Sun Chengzong, Chongzhen asked Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter to recall Zu Dashou to resist.]

[The first month of the third year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the fourth year of Tiancong in the Later Jin Dynasty (1630).]

[The Later Jin army divided its forces and occupied four cities within the Great Wall, namely Yongping, Zunhua, Luanzhou, and Qian'an. ]

[Huang Taiji led the main force back to the capital Shenyang. ]

[In May, Sun Chengzong, Zu Dashou, Ma Shilong and others led the army to recapture the four cities.]

[The battle in which Huang Taiji entered the pass and attacked the capital of Ming Dynasty is known in history as the "Ji Si Incident"]
