Blood from Daming

Chapter 809

Xue Wu was very depressed in the face of the casualties of more than 1000 soldiers, but it was commendable for a team that had never fought a big battle. The Xue family army in Cangzhou had 2000 casualties in the two battles in Wuqing. Due to the outstanding performance of the Xue family army in Cangzhou and the generous military pensions, the Wuqing County people went to the Xue family army barracks in Cangzhou to join the army. Xue Wu decided to recruit more than 1000 troops in Wuqing after careful consideration, and immediately used the time of rest in Wuqing city to train. The recruits, more than 200 horsemen from Mongolian Tumed and Ordos who surrendered to Xue Wu, were inserted into the cavalry team of the Xue family army in Cangzhou by Xue Wufen. After the battle with Jianlu was over, Xue Wu said that they would leave or stay.

What was even more depressing was Yue Tuo, who brought three thousand troops with red flags to chase the Mongolian deserters. Although he chased and killed half of the deserters from the Tumed and Ordos tribes, he was killed by the Xue family army in Wuqing and lost thousands of them. Jurchen warriors, there are few Jurchen warriors, fighting such a battle will shake the foundation of the Jin Kingdom.

Yue Tuo regretted that he was too careless. When chasing the deserters from the Tumed and Ordos tribes, he did not consider the Xue family army in Wuqing City. The Jurchen warriors, who lost their immediate advantage, were invincible in the face of the Xue family army who regarded death as home.

Yue Tuo returned to the big camp near Xuezhuang, plunged into his tent and did not come out, so that the attack on Xuezhuang was out of the question. Seeing this, Li Yongfang was worried, and hurriedly reported to Huang Taiji. The Jurchens, Mongols, and Han armies who attacked Xuezhuang were hit hard by their dejection. Especially some Mongolian tribes saw Yuetuo's cruelty to Tumed, Ordos and other tribes.

The news of Yue Tuo's further defeat spread to Huang Taiji's account, which made Huang Taiji feel deeply disappointed in Yue Tuo, and all the Belle children also had doubts about Jiu Tun under the city of Beijing. Dorgon proposed that Da Jin should play cavalry In order to eliminate the vital strength of the Ming army during the movement, instead of competing with the Ming religion for the gains and losses of a city and a place, many Mongolian and Taiji people support Dorgon's opinion. In order to grab money, stuff, and women, whoever has the patience to do stupid things like fighting the Ming army will lose his seat if too many people die.

Huang Taiji reluctantly adopted Dorgon's strategy. On the [-]th, Dorgon divided his troops to capture Yongping, Zunhua, Luanzhou, and Qian'an counties. On the [-]th, Huang Taiji also led his troops to withdraw from Guangqumen. Emperor Chongzhen, who had won Xue Zhuang's great victory in Wuqing, thought that Jianlu was going to return to Guan me, and urgently ordered Shen Fu, the deputy commander in chief, to lead a battalion of [-] chariots to pursue him. Died on the spot, the entire [-] Ming army was wiped out, and less than a hundred of the defeated soldiers escaped.

The next day, Huang Taiji stationed troops under the Yongding Gate, and the next day (December 2) he led more than [-] Mongolian troops from the Abatai, Shuotuo, and Shansu Budi tribes to attack the city. The emperor was terrified and flew away. The soldiers from Mangui and the newly arrived generals of King Qin, Sun Zushou, Heiyunlong, and Madengyun, went to the city to fight together. Except for the soldiers of Mangui who had strong combat effectiveness, the rest of Sun Zushou, Heiyunlong, and Madengyun were barely supported by the city wall, and Huang Taiji attacked several times. Ri Ye suffered heavy casualties, so he stopped the siege and repeated the old tricks, and led the Jianlu army to retreat slowly.

Emperor Chongzhen learned that the corpses of the prisoners under the Yongding Gate were strewn all over the field, so he named Mangui as a military strategist, commanded all the troops defending the capital, gave him the sword of Shangfang, and urged him to send troops to pursue Huang Taiji. Many declined, but Liang Tingdong, Minister of the Wenjinglue Ministry of War, and the eunuch of the supervising army repeatedly met. Mangui had no choice but to command Sun Zushou, Hei Yunlong, and Ma Dengyun to go out of Yongdingmen to pursue Jianlu Huang Taiji, but Sun Zushou, Heiyunlong, The officers and men of Ma Dengyun's Department did not want to go any further, so Man Gui had no choice but to set up fences and set up camp on the spot. Unexpectedly, at dawn the next day, Huang Taiji mobilized all the horses and horses of Yuetuo's Department, and with more than 5 troops, they squeezed from all directions, only [-] Generals such as Man Gui of the official army could not stop being defeated. Man Gui and Sun Zushou were killed in battle one after another, while Hei Yunlong and Madengyun were captured alive.

The soldiers and civilians in Beijing watched helplessly as nine thousand of their soldiers were wiped out by the Jian captives. Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen was extremely sad. He sent Xu Guangqi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to pay homage to the fallen soldiers. Things, each generation ascends three levels.The imperial court granted sacrifices and burials, and sent officials to build ancestral halls for Mangui, but now Emperor Chongzhen is most anxious about the defense of Beijing.

After Huang Taiji invaded Beijing City, this is the five Yongding gates of Jianlu. Due to the intervention of the Xue family army of Xuezhuang and Wuqing, Man Guiwan died a few days later, but the historical trajectory has not changed, and there are many Jianlu An attack on Yongdingmen was launched, and more than 5 Jianlu troops attacked Yongdingmen, Xizhimen, and Andingmen, and Jianlu harassed them. Yongdingmen was attacked by Jianlu, and the morale of the defeated Ming army was low. It seems that it will fall at any time.

The irritable Emperor Chongzhen did not fully realize his command error, and once again ordered Sun Chengzong, the supervisor of Tongzhou, to lead the soldiers and horses of the world to work closely with the king, but now Sun Chengzong only has Cao Wenzhao and a few small Qin Wang soldiers in his hands Generals such as Ma, Mangui, and Zhao Liaojiao were killed in battle. If Zu Dashou, He Kegang, and King Wu Xiangqin were not persuaded, leading the King Qin army gathered in Tongzhou to return to the capital by himself would be tantamount to sending them to death.

Sun Chengzong really missed the time when there was Xue Polu, even Datong Xue Yun was unable to enter King Jingqin because of his expedition to Tuxietu Khan. Sun Chengzong also knew that Xue's army was too big to lose, but the emperor should not dismiss Xue Liu's post no matter what At any rate, he came to King Qin. Now the Datong Army can't count on it. Yuan Chonghuan was arrested, and the Liaodong Army was in big trouble. Fortunately, I have been in Liaodong for many years, and Zu Dashou can still listen to what he has to say. When the fearful Liaodong Army returned to Tongzhou, Sun Chengzong could send troops to Beijing.

At this time, Cao Huachun made a move with Emperor Chongzhen, that is, let the head of the Xue family write a letter to the Xue family army in Xuezhuang and Wuqing counties, and let the Xue family army fight against Jianlu. When Cao Huachun said this, Emperor Chongzhen's face became hot, There is no such employment in the employing people. The Xue family is really a clay figurine, but the Beijing city is at stake, and the Xue family army in Xuezhuang and Wuqing has not moved much, which makes Emperor Chongzhen feel very uncomfortable.

Emperor Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun to step back, and looked at his companion Wang Chengen. Wang Chengen knew that although the emperor was embarrassed, he still hoped that the Xue family army would send troops in his heart, but the emperor himself would not say this. Wang Chengen sighed. Come out and blame yourself.

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, Xue Rui has always been loyal to the imperial court. It is not difficult to ask him to write Xue Zhuang and Wuqing to recruit Xue's army, but it is hard to say whether he can recruit Xue's army."

Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly: "It is already a great favor from me to give him the opportunity of the Xue family to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

Wang Chengen secretly lamented that the emperor's temper is too stubborn, and the servants are unwilling to give him a step up, but now the capital is in danger, so he had to risk Long Yan's anger: "The emperor, if you want to use the Xue family army, you must first rehabilitate the Xue family. And then withdraw the appointment of Wang Pu, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, and order the Datong Army Yongdingmen Qin Wang to persuade Xue Rui to go to Yongdingmen to resist the enemy, so most of the Xue family's army will come back."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "There are indeed signs of rebellion in the Xue family, how can we let it go so lightly."

Wang Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty, Xue Yun's faults have been common to most generals since ancient times. They are nothing more than fearing that the master of high meritorious service will not die well, so they have more soldiers to protect themselves. Xue Yun's situation has existed since the emperor's time. In the final analysis, it is still The civil servants are in too much haste, now the court has given way to the Xue family and let the Xue family fight with Jianlu, it is a great thing for the emperor."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and said, "Big Companion, take charge of this matter."

Wang Chengen thought that this dirty work should be done by himself. After obtaining the consent of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen immediately rushed to Jinyiwei Prison to meet Xue Rui. Wronged, now I represent the emperor to release the family of Xue family, and want to reuse the children of Xue family.

Xue Rui was moved to tears when he heard this, but Wang Chengen changed the subject and proposed to let Xue Rui write to Xue Zhuang, Xue Wu and Xue Liu, and let the Xue family army send troops to Yongding Gate to rescue him. The Xue family's fortunes were lost, Xue Rui lowered his head and said nothing.

Wang Chengen sighed and said: "Old General Xue, I'm really forcing you, you should take Xue's family back to the residence first."

Xue Rui was silent for a while and said: "Grandpa, either the old man refuses to write letters, or the old man may not be useful if he writes a letter."

Wang Chengen rejoiced and said: "Old General Xue, you can just write the letter, whether it is successful or not has nothing to do with the old general."

Xue Rui had no choice but to write three letters. Wang Chengen immediately asked Luo Yangxing to release the Xue family and the people from Baishengtang. Luo Yangxing still had doubts about the people who released Baishengtang. Wang Chengen took the responsibility and Luo Yangxing Originally, I didn't want to embarrass the Xue family, so I naturally opened the door of convenience. The injured people were transported by Jin Yiwei in a horse-drawn carriage, but seeing Xue Yun's concubine Ni Hongshuang, she was still swollen, and her skin was burned in many places and became different shades. Feeling nervous for a while, Luo Yangxing knew a lot about Xue Yun's strength and ambition, and secretly sighed that Daming would be in trouble from now on.

Wang Chengen returned to the palace with three letters, and recommended to Emperor Chongzhen the former governor of Jiliao Yu Anxing who had just been recruited back to the capital as a lobbyist. Only then did Emperor Chongzhen think of Yu Anxing who had been appointed and Xue Polu from the Xue family. They got very close, even though Xue Polu was no longer around, with the good relationship with the Xue family, only Yu Anxing was the most suitable lobbyist in the court.

So Emperor Chongzhen ordered Xue Liuzhong to lead Datongqin's army, sent Jin Yiwei to deliver the imperial edict and Xue Rui's personal letter to Xue Liu, and then appointed Yu Anxing as Minister of the Ministry of War, and immediately went to Xuezhuang and Wuqing to urge the two groups of Xue's army to send troops , Yu Anxing was summoned to spend more than a month in Beijing, and got such a hot job, but at least he took up the post as Minister of the Ministry of War. Escorted by the Bai Yulin Army, they went straight out of Guangqu Gate and ran towards Xuezhuang.

Finally, Emperor Chongzhen issued an imperial decree to Xue Rui, appointing Xue Rui to supervise the military affairs of Yongdingmen. Xue Zong, Xue Jie and dozens of military strategists will go to Yongdingmen to report, which makes it difficult for many Xue family members to accept. Xue Rui sighed and said: "Hey, the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. The Xue family has been in the same boat with the court for 200 years. , this grievance is actually nothing."
