Han ride

Chapter 267 Li Xin is like a tiger

Now that he had made preparations to attack Shenyang, the prosperous capital of Jianshou, Li Xin ordered people to investigate around Shenyang. Although Huang Taiji led the main force to the south, there were still many soldiers and horses in Shenyang after all.For example, the Han Eight Banners are being formed and so on.There are also those servants of the palace Baylor, etc. In history, during the Kangxi period, Kangxi relied on these servants and slaves in the prince Baylor's house to form an army, not only defeated King Chahar who offended the capital, and even wiped out the Wu Sangui's rebellion.The establishment of the master-servant system of slaves makes the master’s family have many servants, and it is not easy to be a coated slave. As a coated slave, not only you are a slave, but your sons and grandchildren are also slaves. How developed and rich you are, you have to give whatever the master wants.If they really act, these people can form a large army.

Not to mention, Li Xin lives freely in Dongjiang Town, whether he is training soldiers and horses, strengthening the defense of Dongjiang Town, flirting with Dong Xiaowan, flirting with Xiao Yu, etc., as Liu Rushi who serves Dong Xiaowan, He also suffered a lot of bullying from behind.It's just that he was happy and happy here, and Huang Taiji, who was setting up an ambush in Dalinghe City, was extremely dissatisfied.

"What's going on? Could it be that Li Xin can't land here?" Huang Taiji's face was red. In order to surround Li Xin, a big enemy, Huang Taiji worked very hard, leading all the Eight Banners soldiers and horses with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. , gathered in a valley north of Daling River City, waiting for Li Xin's arrival.

"Your Majesty, on this sea, the wind and cloud are unpredictable. The headwind and tailwind of the ship are all particular, which will affect the speed of the ship. It is normal that Li Xin has not arrived at this moment." Fan Wencheng quickly comforted him.

"Perhaps there is a hurricane at sea, and it is also possible to send Li Xin and his gang into the sea to feed the fish." Doduo muttered on the side.But Huang Taiji gave him a vicious look.

"How does Jinzhou City react?" Huang Taiji rolled his eyes and said coldly.He made up his mind that if he couldn't catch Li Xin this time, he would have to find something from other places to make up for it.

"Zu Dashou is startled three times a day. I heard that even eating and sleeping are done on the top of the wall." Ning Wan and I said with a look of disdain.The frontier army of a court is generally the most powerful, but the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty encountered such a situation, but behaved like this, which is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty.

"What about the Central Plains? How are Gao Yingxiang and the others doing now?" Huang Taiji asked again.

"Gao Yingxiang and the others are still making trouble, but news from the past few times said that Gao Yingxiang is not going well in Sichuan." After Ning Wan, I shook my head and said: "If the entrance of the Great Wall is still in our hands at this moment, we can still attack the Central Plains , support Gao Yingxiang and others. It's a pity."

"Kong Youde's rebel army was also wiped out by Li Xin. The court of the Central Plains may have a chance to recuperate this time." Fan Wencheng said with some regret.According to the idea of ​​the Jiannu people, every time the Ming Dynasty was peaceful and the rebel army fell into a low ebb, the Jiannu would send troops to wreak havoc in the Central Plains, attracting most of the imperial court's loyal soldiers and reducing the pressure on the rebel army. When the rebel army was on the rise, Jiannu would stand still and let the rebel army stir inside, recuperating and accumulating strength by himself. In this way, his own strength continued to rise, but the Ming Dynasty continued to resist foreign invasion because of its continuous suppression of rebellion. , The national power is constantly being consumed.In history, Jiannu did indeed do this. It is a pity that now, when they meet Li Xin, this historical shit-stirring stick breaks this vicious circle and occupies Guihua City, making Jiannu dare not rush south to invade. It is conceivable that if the Ming Dynasty could recuperate and concentrate on dealing with the rebels, the situation of the rebels would be extremely difficult.

"You said, did Li Xin know that we were laying an ambush here, so he didn't go this way?" Huang Taiji asked the crowd with some uncertainty. He always felt uneasy these days.As for the hurricane that Duduo was talking about, he didn't take it into consideration. Even if there was a hurricane at sea, he believed that Li Xin would not die.If the majestic Marquis Zhengbei of the Ming Dynasty simply died on the sea like this, that would be a huge joke!

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Li Xin will never take the road other than Daling River City." After Ning Wan I stroked my beard, I shook my head and said, "Li Xin was in the Ming Dynasty. , I don’t know how many enemies he has. Even if Emperor Chongzhen canonized him as Marquis of Zhengbei, it was out of helplessness. If he could kill Li Xin, he would be very willing. Ten thousand cavalry marched across the Central Plains, from Shandong When I arrived at Xuanfu, I don’t know how many dangerous passes in the middle, and there are countless cities. Emperor Chongzhen was really afraid of Li Xin’s rampage. The Xuanfu and even Shanxi have since become the king of Shanxi, threatening the capital?"

"Although so, Li Xin hasn't appeared yet, so I feel very strange." Huang Taiji didn't hide his thoughts at all, and said: "Speaking of which, I am very afraid of this person. I can't go south to the Central Plains to graze horses." After hearing this, everyone in the big tent was silent. In fact, not only Huang Taiji was afraid of Li Xin, but also all the generals. Dorgon and others didn't want to kill him. Li Xin, but so what?

"Your Majesty, a secret report from the Central Plains." At this moment, an eunuch broke in and presented a letter in his hand.

"Huh!" Huang Taiji glanced at the military newspaper, and finally took a look at Fan Wencheng and said, "We were a bit late in receiving the information from the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, Gao Yingxiang and others have gained momentum, and they have already jumped out of Hong Chengchou's encirclement." , Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, will be in trouble this time. I said why Emperor Chongzhen was so kind to canonize Li Xin as Marquis of Zhengbei, this is to appease him." As he said, he handed the letter to Fan Wencheng.

"Since the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang and other Pofang County and Baokang entered Sichuan. In February, they attacked Kuizhou and broke Daning, which was suppressed by Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shijie Xuanfu in Sichuan. The rebel army was divided into two, one way went to Huguang, and the other route Gao Yingxiang led his men and horses to break through the enemy's defense line and enter the southern part of Shaanxi. Not long ago in June, Gao Yingxiang's extraordinary troops went out of Taihang, went westward along Motianling to Wu'an, defeated Zuo Liangyu's army, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and took advantage of the victory to attack Huaiqing and Zhangde prefectures. Attack Weihui. In July, join forces with Zhang Xianzhong and other troops in Hebei. In August, Zhan Ming sent Tang Jiuzhou troops to Niuwei, Liuquan, and Menghu villages in Henan." Fan Wencheng read the information in his hand, not only sent Gao Yingxiang to the eight After sorting out all the information of the month, the expression of amazement appeared in his mouth.

"Gao Yingxiang is just a farmer, but now he has such a large scale. Everyone, people from the Central Plains should not be underestimated." Huang Taiji did not expect that Gao Yingxiang could fight so well, and the Ming army surrounded him so much that he jumped out. , the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.What Huang Taiji has to consider now is whether to retreat after ambushing Li Xin and sit back and watch the chaos in the Central Plains.
