Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 893 Besieging the city and fighting for aid (2) (one more)
It can be said that without Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, there would be no unification of the Houjin Dynasty and the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, and there would be no banner status of Horqin. If there were no Queen Mother Xiaozhuang to listen to the government, Mobei Mongolia would have been torn apart.Therefore, the chief status of Aole and the status of the leader of several tribes are mainly due to the banner of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. If the banner falls, Aole's status will not be guaranteed. Lost status, not to mention Moxi Mongolia and Monan Mongolia, even Mobei Mongolia's Ongniud, Chahar, etc. will not bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers.

Therefore, Aole received a blood letter from the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang requesting them to immediately send troops inside and outside to solve the siege of Shengjing. After being shocked, Aole was furious because this had touched the best interests of the Aole family and Horqin. Aole immediately summoned all the alliances as the Mongolian Khan, saying that the Qing Dynasty had reached a life-and-death crisis. If the banner of the Qing Dynasty fell, the dominance of the Eight Banners would no longer exist. Horqin and other Mongolian alliances Their status will no longer exist, and they will return to the period when they were ruled by the Nanmans, which will be a great shame for them.

After his mobilization, the banners of Mobei Mongolia responded one after another.Because since Nurhachi and his sons conquered Mongolia, Manchuria and Mongolia have become one family, and the Mongolian cavalry has become the main component of the Eight Banners Army. Now the Eight Banners Army and the management soldiers have suffered repeated defeats. They gathered all they could fight together, and gathered [-] elite soldiers, which was basically their last family property. The leader of the alliance, Aole, was the commander himself, and he and Yelu Qingbing rushed to King Qin of Shengjing day and night.

The Mongolian cavalry of Aole and the troops of the Xihan Tartars with white flags who were withdrawn from the battlefield of the Yalu River were all cavalry. The cavalry of men and horses appeared in two directions near Shengjing, one was northwest and the other was northeast.

When these two troops were still two hundred miles away from their capital, Zhu Yousong had already received the report, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It took me so long to come here with a mere 6 horses, and it made me wait so hard, but It's finally here!"

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong came forward to remonstrate, demanding that the troops be divided up and refused.The Ming army besieged the city for more than a month, but they only besieged and did not attack. Those militants who would get itchy hands without fighting for three days, such as Ma Wannian, Zhang Huan, Lu Xiao, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, etc., They also asked Ying to go to war one after another, asking His Majesty to give him a two-way reinforcement of the Qing Dynasty to fight head-on, so as to overcome the addiction of not fighting for many days.

Zhu Yousong shook his head and said: "Everyone, what's the rush? They come from a long way, and they have to catch their breath no matter what, communicate with the city, convey my will, and pay close attention to the movements of these two support soldiers. If the battalion enters the city, a few can be put in for the time being, so that they are ready to cooperate with the inside and outside."

Knowing that their Majesty had plans long ago, all civil and military officials could only agree in unison: "Your Majesty will obey the order."

Fifty miles away from the camp of the Ming army, two groups of reinforcements set up camp one after another.Although the two reinforcements from the Qing Dynasty had always despised the Ming army composed of Han people, they did not dare to attack the Ming camp rashly now, because from the mouths of Zu Zerun and Yeluqing, the leaders of the two armies already knew about the Ming army's expedition. How powerful the army is, they must not restrain their arrogant attitude. According to the Queen Mother's blood letter, in order to understand the siege of Shengjing, they must first ventilate to the city, and then make an appointment time, and the people in the city will go out to kill , Two reinforcements go in to kill, so that there is a certainty of victory.

Aole and Xihan, the main generals of the two reinforcements, met first, agreed to enter the army three days later, and formed a text. In order to increase the success of the camp, they also asked Zu Zerun and Yeluqing to lead people to enter the camp from two directions.

Aole and Xihan each sent a death squad to escort them along the way. In the middle of the night, Zu Zerun and Yeluqing, under the cover of thousands of cavalry, rode their horses into the camp of the Ming army. He was lucky enough to break into the camp again.

Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang summoned the two generals overnight.The cloud of sorrow on the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's face finally dissipated, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally to this day, seeing Zu Zerun and Yeluqing kneeling in front of her, her confidant eunuch Xiao Dezi showed the letter of the two brought back After Xiaozhuang finished reading it, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

A total of 6 troops came from two reinforcements, plus more than 7 people in the city, and 13 people from Mali should cooperate with the outside world and work together to defeat the Ming army and solve the crisis of the capital. This is the last chance, Xiaozhuang Holding the two sealed letters, the queen mother slightly closed her beautiful eyes, praying silently in her heart, praying that the spirits of the ancestors in heaven would bless them with success this time.

After a while, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang opened her eyes again, and immediately made Zu Zerun King of England and Yeluqing King of Loyalty.

Although these two thrones are not princes, they are undoubtedly reaching the sky in one step. The two were flattered and ran away to Xie En.

After dawn, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang immediately summoned Feng Quan, Ganglin, Wu Keshan and Manzhu Xili, several civil and military officials, Zu Zerun and Yeluqing were also there. They were pillars of the Qing Dynasty and Xiaozhuang's confidants At that time, two groups of reinforcements came from outside the city of Xiaozhuang, and King Ying and King Zhong risked their lives to break into the camp to send a letter. Let them prepare immediately for the matter of defeating the Ming army in the middle of the night the day after tomorrow.In order to boost morale, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang deliberately described the [-] cavalry brought by Aole as [-] soldiers.

As soon as these ministers heard that hope was rekindled in their chests, they immediately acted with confidence.

The smug army of the Qing army inside and outside the city is carrying out the plan of cooperating with the inside and outside to break the city. Of course, the camp of the Ming Expeditionary Army has not been idle in the past two days, and Zhu Yousong's strategy of besieging the city and fighting for aid is also in full swing.

For the Qing army in the city, Zhu Yousong still put Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in charge. The 10,000+ cavalry and infantry under them will not dispatch a single soldier. As long as they firmly guard the city, the Qing army in the city will not break out. Just one soldier at a time.

As for the two reinforcements of the Qing army outside the city, Zhu Yousong sent two troops to deal with them.One is the musketeer battalion of the special warfare battalion, the archers and the white pole soldiers are commanded by Huiying, Zhang Huan and Ma Wannian respectively. These 1 troops are responsible for dealing with the Xihan Ministry northwest of Shengjing.The other is Zhu Yousong's 4000 new imperial army, commanded by Gao Guiying and Huimei, and is responsible for dealing with the Aole tribe in the northeast, that is, the Mongolian cavalry.

He Xuanjiao, Ma Jinhua, Xiao Liushi, and Liu Chunhong were in charge of escorting, and the escorting soldiers also included a brocade guard led by Li Quan. A total of several hundred soldiers were responsible for the security of the imperial tent.
