Blood from Daming

Chapter 807

After Chongzhen ordered the arrest of Yuan Chonghuan, he did not mean to put him to death. Liaodong General Soldier Zu Dashou and garrison He Kegang heard that Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and mobbed and left Shanhaiguan, which made Emperor Chongzhen very angry and frightened. Why are all generals as arrogant as Xue Yun? The titan, Emperor Chongzhen had murderous plans for Yuan Chonghuan.

On the fifth day after Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, the censor Gao Jie impeached him: "Qian Longxi and Yuan Chonghuan leaned on each other. Qian Longxi was Yuan Chonghuan's "conspiracy and conspiratorial instructions", and it was Zu Dashou who dared to lead his troops away "provocative." Masterful hand".

Qian Longxi argued again and again: "Chong Huan was outside the city at the beginning, and the imperial edicts and letters were handed down in the pavilion, and most of them went up and down from the top of the city. After Chong Huan took it, who would dare to have an affair? , who can fly over and play a provocative hand?" Yan Gaojie said a lot of false accusations.

But Gao Jie continued impeachment and impeachment: "Yuan Chonghuan's crime has been cleared, so I don't need to say anything. Longxi alone is so sad. When Yuan Chonghuan was arrested, Dashou didn't complain about injustice, and then went away. This is not Chonghuan and Longxi. Chong Huan’s killing of Mao Wenlong was also written by Xi’s exasperation. Long Xi’s secret language handwriting: Qian Longxi once said, “Use it if you use it, and discard it if you don’t use it.” Also, Chong Huan and Wang Qiashu wrote that Jianlu In order to seek peace, there are already people in the temple who hold this idea. The person who advocated it was not Long Xi, but why? At the time of Huan, Chong Huan refused to complain, and Long Xi frowned, feeling the pain of grief."

Jinyiwei found out that Yuan Chonghuan had privately negotiated ten letters with the proposal. When Liu Qiao, the official in charge of Jinyiwei, interrogated Yuan Chonghuan for the two matters of beheading the commander and negotiating peace, Yuan Chonghuan took all the responsibilities for "beheading the commander" and "negotiating peace". It is an unforgivable crime for Yuan Chonghuan to negotiate a peace in private when Qian Longxi, a senior scholar, and Wang Qia, Minister of the Ministry of War, are involved.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen asked Yuan Chonghuan to write a letter to recall Zu Dashou, and Sun Chengzong also sent envoys to comfort Zu Dashou and He Kegang. In the pass, however, Chongzhen could no longer tolerate Yuan Chonghuan's power, and was just vain to deal with Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Wu Xiang, etc., and was ready to put Yuan Chonghuan to death at any time after the city of Beijing was safe.

Emperor Chongzhen basically did not get any good news during this period. Unfortunately, what Wang Chengen said was true. Changping disappeared, leaving Wang Pu's 1000 people alone in Changping City. Emperor Chongzhen scolded Wang Pu for being incompetent and useless.

Before Emperor Chongzhen could get enough of his temper, among the soldiers and horses of King Qin in the world, except for the defeat of King Qin of Xuanfu, Baoding, Henan, and Shandong were still far away in the south of Beizhili, and the governor of Shanxi, Geng Ruqi, and the general Zhang Hong had 5000 troops. People come to help.The army once had an order saying: "Tomorrow when the death arrives, the flood area will be paid after the flood is established." Since the reinforcements from Shanxi have arrived, they are ordered to guard Tongzhou today, transfer to Changping tomorrow, and transfer to Liangxiang the next day. At that time, the army mutinied and plundered many towns around the capital. After the incident, Geng Ruqi and Zhang Honggong were arrested and imprisoned.

Emperor Chongzhen also received the belated news that Jianlu had been fighting with Xue's family in Xuezhuang for nearly half a month. According to the news from Yongdingmen, there were tens of thousands of corpses outside Xuezhuangzhuang. Jianlu died five days ago. No more attacks on Xue Zhuang, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't figure out how such a small Xue Zhuang could have such a powerful fighting force.

I also didn't understand that there was Jianlu Huang Taiji and his gang, how could a little Xuezhuang be so difficult to attack,

The coalition forces of Yuetuo and Jierhalang made some preparations for attacking the village. The battle started on the first day of December. To the east and north, the first round of attack was to siege from all sides, mobilizing more than 5000 Mongolian and Han troops. The tactical purpose was to fill up Xuezhuang's Huzhaigou.

However, the gunfire from Xuezhuang made Jianlu dumbfounded. The walls of Xuezhuang's village were full of artillery fire. Yue Tuo estimated that Xuezhuang had more than a hundred guns, large and small. It was relatively high, and the artillery shot very far away. Yue Tuo felt the threat of the artillery when he was seven or eight miles away from Xuezhuang, and retreated ten miles away in fear. greatly affected.

The first round of Jianlu's attack left nearly a thousand corpses in front of the Huzhaigou in Xuezhuang. An hour later, the Mongolian and Han soldiers pushing large siege vehicles began to fill the Huzhaigou again, and Xuezhuang fired artillery. The bombardment destroyed more than 20 siege vehicles in half an hour. The Mongolian and Han soldiers hidden behind the siege vehicles suffered heavy casualties. With the mobile filling method, the casualties of soldiers were greatly reduced, but the progress of filling was also slowed down.

On the first day, Jianlu suffered 600 casualties, lost more than 40 siege vehicles, and a large number of battle vests. The result was that they barely filled in three trails that could be walked by one person. , Li Yongfang, Ji Laxi of the Mongolian Jarut Department, Aohan Minister Sonomdu Leng, Naiman Minister Gunchuk and other leaders discussed for a while, but there was no particularly good way. They decided to continue filling the soil tomorrow. According to Li Yongfang According to the proposal, the time for the siege vehicles to stay in one place will be greatly shortened.

On the second day of December, Jianlu dispatched 110 and seven siege vehicles, with 8000 soldiers participating. He organized 31 fillings and achieved the result of filling [-] ditches to protect the village, but paid [-] The casualties of a siege vehicle and [-] soldiers were serious. Jierhalang commanded close to the east wall of Xuezhuang, and his horse was hit by a cannonball. A grain of iron sand, Jierhalang estimated that he would not be able to fight on horseback in a month or two.

On the third day of December, Jianlu dispatched more than 80 siege vehicles, and 2 soldiers participated in the battle. He carried out 37 fillings and achieved the achievement of filling one-third of Xuezhuang's ditch. Still lost [-] siege vehicles, and about [-] casualties

Yue Tuo was preparing to attack the stronghold on the fourth day of the lunar new year. On the evening of the third day, Yue Tuo received a late report from the secret camp of Dajin. On the 5000th of the month, a large army of about [-] people went out at night from the Cangzhou camp of the Xue family army and went north to Qingxian County. However, there were no shortage of Xue family soldiers in the Cangzhou army camp. During the pursuit of the Xue family army in Cangzhou, this information was obtained from the nephew of the dead spy when the secret agent of the traffic station came to search.

Yue Tuo's head suddenly grew bigger. If this information is true, then Xue Zhuang not only has more than 1000 soldiers capable of fighting, but five or six thousand elite Xue family troops. What's going on? Who leaked the news of Da Jin's attack on Daming Pass? Secret, it is said that Shengjing went to Cangzhou Mountain and the road is far away, the Xue family army did not have time to get the news, but the news was not the Cangzhou Xue family army, but which Xue family army, could it be that the Xue family army from the south went north, just happened to meet my Dajin entering the pass, Hey, I don't know if Xue Jiajun is unlucky, or I, Yuetuo, are unlucky.

The Xue family army Yue Tuo got the news from was formed by Yan Sanniang from Changtu Island and the Xue family army around Hangzhou. Wang Ping led [-] elite troops on Changtu Island, and [-] troops from Hangzhou led by Qiao Guoliang, Niu San, and Ma Tao. , equipped with [-] fast guns and a large number of firearms, the purpose is to carry out Xue Yun's secret plan before leaving, which is to take away all the Beijing city and Xuezhuang, the Xue family and the Xue family before November [-], the second year of Chongzhen. concerned people.

Wang Ping and Qiao Guoliang went to Xue Wu's camp in Cangzhou, and they knew that Mrs. Xue's Mrs. Chen had given up on the southward withdrawal plan because the owner Xue Rui was unwilling to leave the capital. Qiao Guoliang sent a message to Yan Sanniang overnight, and then Xue Wu, Wang Ping, After discussing with Qiao Guoliang, he felt that the best way is to stick to Xuezhuang, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as to protect the safety of Xuezhuang's master's family and the villagers.

In this way, Wang Ping and Qiao Guoliang led 1000 Xue family troops and entered Xue Zhuang with a large number of military supplies. In addition to Xue Zhuang's more than 1 armed forces, as well as the Xue Jia capital staff who entered Xue Zhuang one after another, the total number of people almost reached [-]. Left and right, the war potential is very large.

In addition to the tall and strong walls of Xuezhuang, Xuezhuang has been secretly preparing for these years. There are 48 large Buddha Langji, which are mainly placed in Xiaoxuezhuang and used by the Xiaoxuezhuang female barracks. There are eight medium-sized Franglers facing the commercial street, and about one hundred small Franglers for mobile use.

Not counting the [-] quick guns and [-] firecrackers brought by Wang Ping and Qiao Guoliang, Xue Zhuang also had [-] firecrackers. As for grenades and explosives, Xuezhuang had accumulated a lot, and it would take three to two months for normal use Not to mention that Wang Ping and Qiao Guoliang also brought some military supplies, and Xuezhuang's arms production capacity is still there. As long as Ken manpower is put into production, the scale can be expanded several times or even ten times in a short time.

On November 25th, Yuetuo led Li Yongfang's department and Mongolian Kaerqintai Jiburgatu to surround Xuezhuang. A few days ago, Miss Chen asked Xue Si to take Xue Siyuan, Xue Dahan, etc. The space reserved in the pillars on the wall was filled with explosives and bottles of kerosene, and one was sent to the Monan Mongolian Harqin, Tumed, Ordos, Asut, and Yongxiebu coalition forces commanded by Yuetuo. Fire oil explosion array.

From the first day of December to the third day of the first day, Xue Zhuang’s casualties were less than a hundred people, while Jianlu’s casualties almost reached [-]% of the battle loss. Because Yue Tuo got the damn information, he waited for Huang Taiji to support a group of ladders and archers In this way, in the two days of the fourth and fifth day of the new year, it was quiet outside Xue Zhuangzhuang.

On the sixth day of December, Yuetuo dispatched 1000 Jurchen Mongol soldiers, carrying more than 100 ladders and more than 100 siege vehicles, crashing them, and ant-attached to the city wall of Xuezhuang. During an attack, in addition to the non-stop firing of more than [-] francs, [-] quick guns and firecrackers were too hot to fire, and [-] grenades and [-] explosives were thrown under the wall of the village in half an hour. Soldiers have never fought so heartily, such extravagant and wasteful battles.

Yue Tuo saw that there were at least 1000 soldiers who hadn't returned. Of the [-] soldiers, more than [-] were still alive. However, if they were rescued, they would either die sooner or later or become disabled. How could such a waste go back to Shengjing through mountains and rivers? Yue Tuo Treat these as corpses directly.

When Yue Tuo organized the second attack, he used the 2 inlaid blue flag soldiers of Jierhalang as cannon fodder, and more than [-] people flocked to the wall of Xuezhuang's village like a tide, facing the attack of the Xue family army in Xuezhuang. Cannons, muskets, grenades, and dynamite packs are like wind and rain, and Yue Tuo's heart is tightened. Damn, this Xue family is really rich. How much does it cost to make these things? Keep fighting like this I don't know if I can wait until Xue Zhuang runs out of ammunition and food.
