Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 332 Hong En is mighty, can't retaliate against the country
At the same time, launching military operations against the six important towns of the Qing Dynasty is definitely a big deal. When the news spread to the guards of the six places, everyone was astonished: Daming actually has such power?What can I do?
Especially the Ningyuan Guard General of the Qing Dynasty. The current Ning Yuan Guard General is the Qing Dynasty general Gang Lin. He felt incredible about Lin Yi's dispatch of troops and condemnation of the general. He must have stormed Ningyuan City. He had already prepared for it, and the [-] Qing troops in the city were ready.

However, the Ming army's tens of thousands of troops did not attack the city, but divided into more than a dozen groups, advancing by land and water, and it was not for his Ningyuan?Want to attack Tashan, Xingshan, Songshan, Jinzhou and Yizhou behind them?In front of him, the camp of the Ming army had not been set up, so he was a little at a loss.

A few days later, another Ming army team appeared behind Ningyuan City, and Gang Lin didn't dare to act rashly.

The defenders of Tashan, Xingshan, Songshan, Yizhou, and Jinzhou don’t dare to act rashly now. There are 2 Qing troops stationed in Ningyuan. Of course, Jinzhou has 2 defenders, and Yizhou has 6 troops. The defenders, and Tashan, Xingshan, and Songshan each have [-] Qing troops defending. That is to say, there are only more than [-] Qing troops in the six places. .

The six-distance Qing army stayed in place obediently. What Ji Yi wanted was this effect, lest they echo each other and clean up one by one!
After the defeat of the Huanggutun army of the Qing army, Dorgon was seriously injured. They retreated to Ningyuan City with thousands of remnants of the defeated generals. The army had to rest for at least a few months on the battlefield, and the power in the army was temporarily under the command of Prince Su Hauge.

Hao Ge, Ao Bai, Sony and others discussed that they must return to the capital immediately. First, the regent Dorgon needs to return to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries. Second, he must report the serious situation to the empress dowager and the emperor face to face. Otherwise, it would be difficult to stop the iron hooves of the Ming army's northward advance.

After they discussed, let Ganglin lead 1 troops to defend Ningyuan, and the other five places were the original defenders. Let them step up their defenses and coordinate with each other to ensure the safety of Ningjin's defense line.

Because the current Ningjin line of defense is too important to the Qing Dynasty, it is the gateway to the Qing Dynasty.Even this line of defense is more important than the Ningjin line of defense outside Daming Pass.

Originally, these lands were like six rivets on a board, they acted at the same time to ensure that the iron board was firm and safe.

But they knew that the troops in these six places were too limited. Lin Yi led the army to arrive, and the enemy was outnumbered, while Shi Daqing suffered consecutive defeats, wounded soldiers and generals, and their morale was low. Rescue soldiers, let them stand by and wait for help, rescue soldiers will arrive soon, and those who slack off must be severely punished.

Then Haug Aobai Sony and others took the remnants of the defeated generals to protect the seriously injured Dorgon and returned to the capital of the Qing Dynasty, that is, Shengjing, which is Shenyang City, Liaoning Province in later generations.

After Hauge returned to the Qing capital with the remnants of the defeated generals, the entire Qing Dynasty was shaken.In just a few months, the Qing Dynasty suffered a series of disastrous defeats. From Shanhaiguan to Huanggutun, 10,000+ elite Qing troops were wiped out. How could this be tolerated by the Qing Dynasty in a small border country?

We must know that their ancestors Nurhachi and Huang Taiji strategized, worked hard, worked hard, and worked unremittingly for two whole generations before they achieved the scale of the Qing Dynasty today. The two major defeats lost more than half of the national power!
You must know that the Qing Dynasty is not monolithic now. North Korea has been conquered on the surface, but it is not a thing in the pool.

Because North Korea is still willing to form an alliance with Ming Dynasty from the heart, as a subsidiary country of Ming Dynasty, North Korea has benefited a lot from it over the years and tasted the sweetness.

After they were conquered by the Qing Dynasty, only heavy corvee and taxes increased every year, and the domestic people suffered unspeakably.

In addition, there is Mongolia, including Monan, Moxi, and Mobei. The eagles on the desert have never been fuel-efficient. It is torn apart, but the Great Yuan Entrepreneurship created by Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan will always be a model for their various tribes, except that they used alliances and friendship to firmly win over the tribes of Horqin, Khalkha, Zalut, Keerdos and so on. In addition, many Mongolian tribes did not really support the Qing Dynasty.

Aren't several tribes such as Ongniut, Tumed Right Wing, and Chahar Bahrain have separated from the Qing Dynasty and re-aligned with the Ming Dynasty?

If the Qing Dynasty is not strong enough, these separated Mongolian troops are just a small beginning. If this continues, the newly established Qing Dynasty will be torn apart. If there are no Mongolian tribes, only the Manchurian Tartars will be left, and they will be even more powerless to fight against Ming Dynasty. , Then the country will not be a country!

Therefore, when Hauge Obai and Soni carried the injured Dorgon and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who was accompanying Xiao Shunzhi, this graceful and graceful woman just 30 years old was furious, with a flowery face full of murderous intentions, and put the table case on the table. There was a clacking sound, and the needles could be heard in the hall. All the civil servants, eunuchs, and maids present bowed their waists and lowered their heads, as if mourning, and did not dare to shout loudly, only dared to stare at the ground.

The six-year-old little Shunzhi blinked. He looked at his mother half-understood, at the slaves kneeling below, and at the servants who had promised to lead him to play in the back garden. Let go of Xiao Dezi who is hiding far away.

What makes the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang even more intolerable is that in the battle of Huanggutun, three big traitors, two beauties Baylor, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde and Tong Yangjia were killed. Big lackeys, they can be sealed no matter what they have done, but they are not as good as a dog if they are dead, because they are Han Chinese and not Manchus after all.

But Man Dahai and Yue Le are different. They are not only Manchus, but also the best among Manchus. They are the grandsons of Taizu Nurhachi. They are not fake at all. They died young. Killed, the regent Dorgon almost lost his life on the battlefield, and brought it back dying, how embarrassing did they feel?How to be worthy of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty?How to comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven?In fact, the ancestors and ancestors can't be listed anywhere, because there are only two or three memorial tablets in the ancestral hall of the Qing Dynasty!

Dorgon is now seriously injured, otherwise the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang would not take into account the feelings and would have to punish the regent severely with a decree. Seeing that he has no credit and hard work, and finally came back alive, he will only punish Dor Dagon's salary for one year.

However, Prince Su, Obai, Sony, Ganglin, Xihan, etc. were severely punished, deprived of their salaries for three years, and demoted to one level to see the effect.

Then Xiaozhuang ordered the imperial physician to treat Dorgon and held the funeral of the two beige beiles. The bodies of Yue Le and Man Dahai were not recovered, but they had to build a coffin and set up a tablet to enter the ancestral hall. Then Xiaozhuang took Xiao Shunzhi Kneeling in front of the ancestral tablets and crying bitterly, and finally crying out for grievances in front of the Huang Taiji tablet.

"Please express my condolences to the Empress Dowager. After all, the Empress Dowager's phoenix body is important. In the eventful autumn of my Qing Dynasty, the regent is injured. The entire Qing Dynasty depends on Lafayette." Xiao Anzi, the personal eunuch, knelt down and persuaded.

In the end, Xiao Anzi, who was in his 40s, returned to the Palace of Compassion with Xiao Zhuang, who was 30 years old. Xiao Zhuang was in a state of confusion, so he invited two great scholars, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, to summon him.

The two hard-core big traitors quickly knelt down to pay respects to the Queen Mother Lafayette.

When the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked how the two of them could resist the Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng, a scholar of Hongwenguan, was considered a veteran of the three dynasties. He had served Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and now Emperor Shunzhi. In fact, he was serving the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.

Fan Wencheng knelt down and saluted: "Don't worry about the queen mother. Although the regent is injured, the emperor and the queen mother are still in the Qing Dynasty. Although the emperor is young, the queen mother is blessed and can keep the Qing Dynasty safe. This time the Ming Dynasty raised troops, It’s nothing but Lin Yi’s fault. The Ming Dynasty is now in name only. How long can a boy surnamed Lin struggle for a few days? The Empress Dowager can use the strategy of Han to control the Han, so that they can’t take care of themselves due to internal strife. My Qing Dynasty will take advantage of the fisherman’s profit, and then plan for self-improvement. "

Fan Wencheng is worthy of being "the number one Hanchen", and what this hardcore traitor said made Xiaozhuang shine again.

"Master Zaifu speaks highly, and the Ai family would like to hear the details."

"The Empress Dowager." Fan Wencheng continued, "It doesn't matter that the man surnamed Lin is in control of the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, and he has set up a prison for himself, but the current Ming Dynasty is not in the hands of one person surnamed Lin. Li Zicheng Although he is gone, isn’t there still Zhang Xianzhong? Zhang Xianzhong is also proclaimed emperor in Sichuan now and established the Daxi Kingdom. In addition, as far as the slaves know, there is also the Zheng family in Fujian on the coast of southern Xinjiang. There are more than 3 troops in the navy alone, and thousands of warships. Even the Dutch navy, a western maritime power, was defeated by the Zheng family's army. Merchant ships traveling to and from the Taiwan Strait only know that there is the Zheng family, but not the Ming Dynasty. Who should not act according to Zheng Zhilong’s face? When the Emperor Chongzhen was here, Zheng Zhilong accepted the imperial court’s recruitment and was named Nan’anbo, the general town of Fujian. It can be said that Officials and businessmen have two sides, black and white, and cover the sky with one hand, but now that Emperor Chongzhen is gone, can he, Zheng Zhilong, be convinced that his surname is Lin? Needless to say, Zhang Xianzhong and Zheng Zhilong can turn the Ming Dynasty upside down."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was overjoyed: "What Master Zaifu said is very true, I would like to ask Master Zaifu to work hard to make this matter happen as soon as possible, and said that my Qing Dynasty is willing to form an alliance with Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi and Zheng Zhilong, and we will work together to plan big plans and join hands. After eradicating Lin Yi, the Ming Dynasty can divide the world from the Yangtze River to the Qinling Mountains."

Fan Wencheng prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed: "The servant is willing to do his best for Lafayette and the Qing Dynasty."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang immediately ordered people to make two orders, one was for Daxi King Zhang Xianzhong, and the other was for Zheng Zhilong, the overlord of the South China Sea. In addition, she prepared two generous gifts, beauties in gold and silver, and asked Fan Wencheng to bring them. Depart on an auspicious day.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang recalled something again. Wang Hauge and Aobai sent her a memorial to her. Lin Yi's soldiers came under pressure.Ning Jin's line of defense must not be lost.

At this time, Ning finished my speech, "The queen mother is really smart all her life, she was confused for a while, and there is a peerless master hidden by her side, if I don't use it now, when will I wait?"

Ning Wan and I are as famous as Fan Wencheng. Both of them are Han officials, bachelors, and veterans of the three dynasties. They have made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty.

"Ning Zhongtang is referring to Mr. Hong."

Ning Wan and I said: "Exactly, Mr. Hong was a person who was highly valued by the former emperor, and his strategy is not inferior to that of the regent. Let this person lead the army to resist the enemy, so that Ningjin's defense line will be safe, so that it can be planned for Fan Gong. Time to win."

"Master Zhongtang's words made the Ai family suddenly realize, why did the Ai family forget him, come here, and send an edict to see Hong Chengchou."

After Hong Chengchou surrendered, he held an important position in the Qing Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang felt that it was time to use this person.

Soon Hong Chengchou knelt down in front of Xiaozhuang and Shunzhi.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked him to lead the army against the enemy.

Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes, people like Dorgon Haug can't do it, can I do it?This Ji Dong is not easy to deal with. It is said that this kid is like a monster.

When I, Hong Chengchou, was an official in Ming Dynasty, the boy surnamed Lin became popular, and many powerful people, including Sun Chuanting, Li Zicheng, Huang Taiji, etc., fell into his hands.

If I can't go by myself, these tartars will have to cut me alive. Don't look at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who is as gentle as water and smiling like a flower. By then, she can eat people without spit out bones.

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou knelt down on the ground and declined, saying: "The queen mother is really flattering the slave. The slave is weak and has no power to restrain the chicken. He has a name for nothing and no talent. Please ask the queen mother to hire someone else, which is a mistake for the state affairs." , the crime of the minister."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang heard the flash of her water-like eyes, and suddenly shot out two fierce lights. These two rays of light were so penetrating, they directly penetrated into Hong Chengchou's heart.

"Master Hong, my Daqing is going through a disaster, is it possible that Master Hong is not willing to share the worries of the Ai family?"

"I don't dare." Hong Chengchou hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The Empress Dowager knows that this servant is ignorant, so I really dare not take this important task. I am alive, but I am in the Qing Dynasty, and there are many talents. Prince Su Haoge is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and he is ten thousand times stronger than slaves..."

As soon as Hong Chengchou said this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang interrupted him immediately.

"Lord Hong thinks that his official position is too small, and he can't control these civil servants and military generals. How good is it to make it clear? The Ai family immediately reported to the emperor, and named Hong Aiqing the crown prince Taibao, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. General Nan, bestowed with a sword by the Son of Heaven, and wearing a yellow mandarin jacket, no matter who he is, he will not listen to orders, but beheaded first and played later."

Hong Chengchou's heart moved, what a powerful woman, he couldn't stand her in his heart, so he didn't dare to refuse anymore, and quickly kowtowed to thank her for accepting the order.

"Thank you for the support of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. This slave must do his best, and he must repay the Queen Mother and the Emperor for their kindness." After speaking, he lay down on the ground facing the Queen Mother and Xiao Shunzhi, and kowtowed three more times.

Empress Xiaozhuang smiled, "Lord Hong, Ning Jin's defense line is related to the lifeblood of my Qing Dynasty, because after Ning Jin is the capital, there must be no loss. The Ai family wants to hear Master Hong's strategy to defend against the enemy."

"Please rest assured, the queen mother and the emperor. Ningjin has a dangerous city, the support of Yizhou, and the screen of three mountains. The servant has three inches of spirit, but Baoning Jin is safe from any mistakes."

"Lin Yi's use of troops is strange, the morale of the Ming army is high, and our Qing Dynasty has suffered defeats and morale is low. Master Hong cannot fight with him. As long as he can hold on, within a year or so, the surname Lin will definitely retreat. When Master Hong led his troops to pursue him, Lin Yi would surely be defeated."

"I would like to obey the Queen Mother's order."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang immediately ordered someone to draw up an edict, and then gave Hong Chengchou all the imperial edict, the yellow jacket, and the emperor's Shangfang sword.

With these things, Hong Chengchou's mental calculations were in his stomach. The reason why he didn't accept the order just now was because he was afraid that the high-ranking Tartars like Haoge and Aobai would take credit for their pride, and refused to listen to him. Now that there are no worries about the future, I can finally shake off my shoulders and do a lot of work.

To be honest, since he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the Battle of Ningjin, whether it is Huang Taiji or the current Dorgon and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, they have treated him as much as a mountain.

In particular, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was so tender to him that he couldn't help but fantasize about it. Now that he has been granted such a big name, this is really a kindness from heaven and earth. Now that the Qing Dynasty is in trouble, it is also time for him to show his loyalty to serve his new master.

Hong Chengchou was full of ambition. After accepting the order of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, he spent more than half a month mobilizing troops and generals, recruiting 5 troops. The Minister of State, Sony, Hanchen Ma Guozhu, and others followed the army.

One night, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang summoned Prince Su Hauge in the secret room.

Apart from her confidant eunuch Xiao Anzi, and the very close maid Su Mala, they are the two of them.

Hauge knelt down on the ground, kowtowed respectfully.

In fact, Hauge is several years older than the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, but Hauge still has to call himself "mother queen" and "children".

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said to Hauge: "Do you know why I asked you to come?"

"My son and minister are dull, please make it clear to the queen mother."

"Ah," the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sighed softly, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different."

Prince Su Hao is over 30 years old and quick-witted. As soon as the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said this, he immediately understood what the Empress Dowager meant, and quickly kowtowed: "Please don't worry, the Empress Dowager. If someone surnamed Hong dares to be unfaithful to the Empress Dowager If you are disloyal to the Qing Dynasty, my son will definitely let his head fall."

"Oh, I really feel sorry for you."

Of course Hauge knew what the Queen Mother meant by grievance, he shook his head and said, "Queen Mother, I don't feel wronged at all, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, even if I lead the horse and ride for Master Hong, I will do anything."

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang smiled happily, and waved her slender hands to Hauge who was kneeling on the ground, "Kneel down, after this triumphant return, the Ai family will definitely recommend you to replace Dorgon as regent."

"Thank you, stepmother, I will leave."

Hauge got up and backed out.

The next day, the 5 troops left the capital of the Qing Dynasty and headed straight for Jinzhou under the personal see-off of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
