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

Chapter 59 Azig who played cards out of order
Since Azig broke through the Xifengkou pass, 10 Tartars were overwhelming, and most of the Ming soldiers fled. In just one month, they captured more than a dozen cities and towns around the capital of the Ming Dynasty, shaking the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Azig and the others were enjoying themselves, Amin and Yuetuo went their separate ways and led the elite of [-] Tartars to Yongcheng.

This is a big blow to Azig and Abate.

As for Azige and Yuetuo, the twelfth younger brother of Huang Taiji, Azige, knows Amin too well. He knows that Amin is an ambitious person. , Even Taizong Huang Taiji is not in the eyes.

But his starling Huang Taiji seems to be more skilled. He thinks that Amin is not easy to shake, so he decides to set up another mountain to develop outside.He didn't want to come back when he was in North Korea a few years ago, and he also has a soft spot for Yongping, and now he has revisited his old place.

Thinking about this, Azig thought it was really hateful, but he was powerless against Amin and Yuetuo!

It was too big a matter for the two of them to go it alone so blatantly, Azig and Abate did not dare to hide it, and reported it to Huang Taiji immediately.

Huang Taiji was even more aware of the ambitious Amin, and immediately instructed Azig and Abatai not to care about Yuetuo and Amin. This was tantamount to isolating the two of them.

Huang Taiji also has plans, and he doesn't expect Azig's 10 horses to destroy Daming. A dead camel is bigger than a horse. The Ming Dynasty's nearly 300-year-old Guozuo is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, not their kind of small border country. It can be destroyed if it is destroyed.

Gaining as much benefit as possible, looting cities, looting property, livestock and slaves is their purpose of marching into Ming Dynasty this time.

In addition, Huang Taiji has received definite news.

Facing the invasion of the Tartar army, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had two words in his mind, war and peace.Above the court, there are roughly two factions around these two words, that is, the main battle faction and the main peace faction.

The main combat faction is represented by daimyo Dao Lu Xiangsheng, and the main peace faction is Chen Xinjia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang, a scholar, and Gao Qiqian, the great eunuch.

Moreover, the peace faction had already gained the upper hand. They were intriguing and whispering in Chongzhen's ears, and Lu Xiangsheng was isolated.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he got the news, and decided to force Chongzhen to negotiate a peace, and asked Azig and Abatai to speed up their march and clear the obstacles around the capital.

Now Datong, Xuanhua, Changping, Huaiyi, etc. a total of 12 cities, all belong to the Tartars.

Just when Azig and the others sent heavy troops to put pressure on Beijing, bad news came. Amin and Yuetuo had lost the battle and returned in embarrassment.

To make matters worse, Yue Tuo died.

This incident is too big, and the shock caused by 10 Tartars is because Yuetuo's status in the Qing Dynasty is too high. He is the eldest son of Daishan, the grandson of Nurhachi, the nephew of Azig, and the former Heshuo Baylor.Although he is now punished as Dorobeile by Huang Taiji, his status and influence are still extremely human.

Now that such a big man died, Azig and Abatai were a little dumbfounded after being shocked, and now Amin is no longer arrogant, and is simply slumped like a concubine.

When they learned that the well-known Amin and Yuetuo had fallen into the hands of a little-known little man named Mr. Lin Yibai, Azig and Abate were astonished. How wide did they open their mouths?
Daming Gyeonggi is really a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How could a small Baizong defeat Amin and Yuetuo so far?It seems that the Ming Dynasty didn't have no available people, but that there were no available people to make the best of their talents.

Azige, Amin and Abatai sat down to re-discuss the countermeasures. Amin was defeated and Yue Tuo was killed in battle. Azige had to adjust his strategy. Bloodline must withdraw its troops outside the pass, first transport Yue Tuo's body back, and deal with his funeral before talking about the matter of Zheng Ming.

But we must not just leave like this, there must be crazy revenge, one is to kill the Han people wantonly, and kill all the Han people who were taken captive.The second is to capture Yongping and massacre the city. If you find someone named Lin Yi, you must take his head with you.

But now they have figured out that they are flanked by Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses. If they want to go east, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely not sit idly by and have to clear this obstacle first.

For this reason, they decided to use troops in three directions.There were 10 Tartars when they came, and now the actual strength is only more than 8 after excluding the attrition caused by the war.Fortunately, because the 12 cities around the capital of the Ming Dynasty were taken down, more than [-] Han people were plundered, the livestock was financially useless, and the food and grass supplies were still sufficient.

The first [-] Tartars marched eastward. This was undoubtedly the main force, led by King Azig of Doro Wuying County himself.

The second group of [-] troops, led by Governor Abatai and assisted by Deputy Commander Tan Tai, ambushed Lu Xiangsheng's troops in the east of Yuyang City.

The remaining 1 people were handed over to Yang Guli, and asked him to guard Changping and the Shunyi area, focusing on Xifengkou, which was the only way they had to go back to the pass.

Amin was deprived of military power, and he just fought with Azig as an ordinary soldier. Amin had nothing to say, and he also held up his strength to take down Yongping City, massacre the city, and kill Lin Yi.

After the Tartars dispatched their troops, they began their crazy revenge plan.

Overnight, Azig ordered to kill all the more than ten Han people who had been taken captive, leaving their corpses in the wilderness.

Outside Changping City, corpses piled up like a mountain, and the smell of blood filled the sky. These were all innocent people.

After killing these unarmed civilians, Azig and Amin marched eastward with an army of 4.

This ordered Lu Xiangsheng, who was stationed in Yuyang, to be caught off guard.

Azig should attack Beijing. Changping is so close to Beijing. This is a straight-line distance. Why did they march eastward?
According to Lu Xiangsheng's strategy, Azig attacked Beijing with heavy troops, and after Lu Xiangsheng attacked his side from Yuyang, the Tartars would be defeated.But now Azig suddenly didn't play the cards according to Lu Xiangsheng's intention, and came to move eastward, Lu Xiangsheng was a little puzzled.

"Did I make a mistake? Is this still Azig's conspiracy?" Lu Xiangsheng paced back and forth in the tent.

He has always wanted to besiege the Tartars, but has not been able to complete the deployment of troops, so the main reason for the delay in launching a general attack on these Tartars is still insufficient troops.

Lu Xiangsheng is now called the Governor-General of the Five Lands, but he is actually restricted by the commander-in-chief of the Army, Gao Qiqian.This eunuch is one of the representatives of the main peace faction, and his political standpoint is different, which is second to none.The point is that he's not a real man.

Eunuchs were unable to conquer women because of physical defects, so they became a little perverted, and their desires turned to naked money and fame.

Therefore, greed, insidiousness, and selfishness have become the common characteristics of eunuchs, and these common characteristics are particularly concentrated and prominent in Gao Qiqian.

Although the main peace faction advocates giving some benefits to the Tartars and letting them retreat, that is, to reach an agreement with the Tartars in order to free up energy to deal with the domestic rogues.

But each of them is better than a ghost, facing Chongzhen's suspicion, they are all afraid of taking responsibility, whether it is Yang Xinjia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Yang Sichang, a scholar of Dongge University, or Gao Qiqian, the great eunuch, no one is willing to speak out own claim.

Although they had guessed that Emperor Chongzhen had a desire to negotiate peace, they would not express their views clearly until Emperor Chongzhen expressed it directly.

As the emperor of a dynasty, Chongzhen guarded the gates of the country. Of course, he could not make it clear that he wanted to make peace with the Tartars. He could only find a spokesperson to express his feelings.But these peacemakers don't say it clearly, they only play side-by-side. This is where they are insidious and treacherous.

And Lu Xiangsheng, the representative of the main combat faction, was full of fighting spirit.Of course, Emperor Chongzhen had to be encouraged, so he was appointed as the governor of the five regions, and he was given the sword of Shangfang.

But as soon as Lu Xiangsheng left the capital, the suspicious Emperor Chongzhen immediately changed his mind, and the Zhuhe faction quickly entered into slander and incitement.So the great eunuch Gao Qiqian became Lu Xiangsheng's military commander.

The military director army is in charge of the army's money and food foster care, which is equivalent to stuck Lu Xiangsheng's neck. Whether to advance or retreat, and how to fight any battle, the director army must agree.

The reason why Lu Xiangsheng did not complete the deployment of troops for so many days was precisely because of Gao Qiqian's constraints.

He picked on Lu Xiangsheng's faults and distorted the holy will, and he fell in love with Lu Xiangsheng's BMW, but was flatly rejected by Lu Xiangsheng. This old guy's laughter became even more sinister.

Due to Gao Qiqian's interference and obstruction, Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, was in cahoots with him, and it was difficult for Lu Xiangsheng to mobilize soldiers from Shanxi, Datong, Xuanfu, and Miyun.

What he can mobilize now is more than 3 troops from Daming Mansion and Zhending. This is his direct line army and the essence of Tianxiong Army.

But with these 3 people, Gao Qiqian divided it into two, in the name of ensuring that the capital is safe and sound, and the rest can go to fight the Tartars.

In this way, more than 1 Tianxiong troops were fixed in Daming and Zhending, and Lu Xiangsheng directly mobilized only 17000 troops. Under such circumstances, facing ten times the strength of the fierce Tartars, Lu Xiangsheng certainly did not dare to act rashly.

However, he was relieved that Zu Kuanguan, the deputy commander of Shanhaiguan and Zu Dashou's subordinate, brought [-] Ningyuan troops to King Qin and had already arrived in Qianxi.

Lu Xiangsheng knew that Zu Kuan was brave and good at fighting, and that the Ningyuan army was as powerful as his Tianxiong army, so he decisively sent an order to let Zu Kuan station in the west of Qianxi, the east of Xinglong, and the north of Zunhua.

In this way, as long as Azige dared to go south from Changping to attack the capital, his Tianxiong army and Zu Kuan's Ningyuan army would cut off these tartars like two pincers.

But at this time Gao Qiqian was playing tricks on him again, urging him to take the initiative to attack and wipe out the Tartars in his capacity as the commander of the army and horses.The reason was that the Tartars brutally killed so many people at once, and the emperor was furious, and it would not be enough to appease the Tartars.

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to pull more than 1 people out of Yuyang City. However, Lu Xiangsheng did not take the initiative to attack, but was waiting for a fighter. He believed that Azig would attack the capital in a large scale next, and he sent troops to attack the flanks. It is expected to succeed.

But now that Azig suddenly moved eastward with the main force, Lu Xiangsheng was a little confused. Why do these thieves and tartars want to stay far away?There is definitely something wrong here.

After Lu Xiangsheng thought about it, he quickly called Liu Zhaoji, Li Chongzhen, Luo Dai and other general officers to discuss countermeasures.

After the three chief soldiers and deputy chief soldiers entered Shi Lilai, Lu Xiangsheng asked the three of them to sit down and questioned them.

Li Zhongzhen believes that Azig has many tricks, and this should be their strategy to lure the enemy. We should stand still and wait and see what happens before making plans.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and Li Chongzhen thought of going with him.

At this time Liu Zhaoji spoke, "Governor, my subordinates just got the news that Amin was defeated in Yongping and Yuetuo was killed in battle. Azig suddenly turned his back and marched eastward. Could it be their revenge?"

"Oh?" Lu Xiangsheng's eyes widened in shock.

Of course Lu Xiangsheng had heard of the names of Amin and Yuetuo.Amin is the second of Nurhachi's Four Great Baylors, and Yue Tuo is Nurhachi's grandson and one of Huang Taiji's capable generals.

These two warriors have conquered Mongolia, North Korea, and Ming Dynasty in recent years, and they have always been unfavorable, just like Huang Taiji's two sharp knives, clearing the way for his Qing Dynasty to expand its territory.

But now these two well-known and big figures have lost their halberds forever?Yue Tuo is still dead?Who can have such a great ability and achieve such a record?Who is the prefect of Yongping?Who is the commander-in-chief of Yongping, the capital, and the guard?
Shocked, Lu Xiangsheng immediately inquired the civil and military officials in Yongping.

Soon he found out that Li Qi, the magistrate of Yongping, was a mediocre person. Neither the Yongping General Soldier nor the Dusi dispatched troops to King Qin was in Yongping. The general is a garrison Wang Cheng, and there are also aides such as the chief executive, the inspector, and the promotion officer. The city lacks major generals, and there are only more than 1000 old, weak, sick and disabled. How can they defeat Amin and Yuetuo?
For a while, Lu Xiangsheng, Liu Zhongzhen and Luo Dai all doubted the accuracy of Liu Zhaoji's information.

At this time, Yongping's official document arrived, and this memorial was to be sent to the capital. However, during the war, the capital was under martial law. To enter the capital, you must first pass the governor Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately ordered someone to bring in Yongping's tolerance, and interrogated Yongping in detail.

The tolerance did not dare to hide it, so he told the truth about Lin Yi's deeds, and the magistrate wrote a memorial to report the battle of Yongping to the court, and would recommend Lin Yi to be promoted as an official in Yongping.

After Lu Xiangsheng and the others listened, an unrivaled hero popped into their minds——Jin Yi!
Lu Xiangsheng and others lamented: Such a hero is a mere boss, what a shame!
According to the nature of the Tartars, Lu Xiangsheng felt that Azig's march eastward should be an act of revenge, and his goal should be Yongping, so they must be stopped.

But just in case, Yuyang had to keep troops. Zu Kuan's troops were moving west, but there were only 6000 of them, and it was difficult to resist the tens of thousands of troops attacking Azig.

So Lu Xiangsheng and the three commander-in-chiefs discussed and acted immediately. In order to prevent the Tartars from playing tricks and intending to capitalize, Lu Xiangsheng ordered Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief, to lead 7000 troops to Yuyang. Ten thousand soldiers rushed to Qianxi to block Azig's eastward advance.
