The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 158 Yuan Chonghuan Was Arrested

What follows is no different from the original history.

Huang Taiji arrived in Tongzhou on November 11, and Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Zuoanmen, Beijing on November 15. The vanguard of the Later Jin Army also arrived at the foot of Beijing. On the 16th, the two sides fought fiercely at Deshengmen, causing mutual casualties.

On December 12, the Houjin Army fought two battles with the Ming Army in the capital and retreated to Liangxiang.

At this moment, Chongzhen ordered Yuan Chonghuan to enter Beijing.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan met Chongzhen once on November 11, and that time he was wearing casual clothes.

This time he didn't have time to change clothes, so he entered the palace in full armor.

As soon as he entered the palace, he was arrested by Jin Yiwei.

At this time, there were rumors everywhere in the capital, saying that Yuan was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, leading the Jin army to enter the capital, and the people demanded that Yuan Chonghuan be executed.

As soon as the Liaodong Army heard that the commander was arrested, Zu Dashou ran away overnight with his soldiers and horses without saying a word.

Chongzhen quickly called Mangui into the Wei capital.

After robbing Liangxiang and Gu'an, the Houjin Army, who had robbed a lot of silver, grain and supplies, heard that Yuan was arrested and the Liaodong Army had also left, so they immediately shot back.

They first wiped out Shen Fu's [-] Jing battalion at Lugou Bridge, and then wiped out Man Gui's [-] troops at Yongding Gate, and Man Gui was also beheaded on the spot.

The rest of the frontier army, including Heiyunlong and Ma Dengyun, were all defeated and surrendered to Houjin. A total of [-] Ming army elites were all wiped out, with countless casualties.

All the generals of the Eight Banners were clamoring to attack the capital at this time. Huang Taiji said something with a smile, which roughly meant that I could easily destroy the idiot emperor in the city, but the territory of Ming Dynasty is a bit large, and it is not possible to attack it in a day or two. It is easy to take down the capital, but it is a bit difficult to hold it. , What if we train more soldiers and wait for the future to rule the world.

Then he wrote a letter to Chongzhen, shot into the capital, and left with soldiers and horses.

And when they left, they won another big prize.

Abatai, Jierhalang and others led [-] troops to Tongzhou and captured Zhangjiawan.

Zhangjiawan was the Caocang of the Ming Dynasty, which stored a huge amount of grain.Hou Jin succeeded this time, which greatly eased their food crisis.

Then the Houjin soldiers went to Zunhua, Yongping, and Luanzhou.

Luanzhou was captured on the ninth day of January.Then divide the troops from Funing to the mountains and seas, and form three battalions thirty miles away from the pass.Weixian, the deputy commander-in-chief of Shanhai North Road, and Chen Weihan, the participating general, set up two battalions to resist the enemy.Later Weixian was ordered by Ma Shilong to lead Chen Weihan and guerrilla Zhang Qihua to attack Zunhua.The soldiers in the city attacked, the vanguard of the Weixian army fought to the death, and the rear team took advantage of the momentum to attack, and the city was rained like arrows and stones.Both Weixian and Zhang Qihua died in battle, and more than [-] soldiers were killed or injured.

On January [-], the Hou Jin army attacked Malan City.

During this period, the Ming army fought against Houjin for most of the time, until the fourth day of May, when Sun Chengzong supervised the division and recovered the four cities in the east of Beijing.

At this point, Hou Jin entered the customs for the first time, and it was finally over.

Just as Ding Yi expected, after the Jin Dynasty entered the customs, the court did not call Lushun's Bing Ma Qin Wang.

On November [-]th, Ding Yi and his team defeated Jinzhou, but they did not report their merits immediately.

Because of Ding Yijue, if they repay their merits, maybe the court will call them to serve the king, and of course everyone doesn't want to go.

Sure enough, Yuan Chonghuan chose to call Liu Xingzuo's department in Pidao instead of Lushun.

Mao Yongyi and Chen Ouyou immediately looked at Ding Yi with admiration, and felt that he was quite accurate in every prediction.

At the end of November, Liu Xingzuo's troops entered King Jingqin and were arranged to be stationed in Yongping.

On the third day of the first lunar month, Liu Xingzuo led more than a hundred cavalry to patrol Lianghuikou, and happened to encounter thousands of post-golden soldiers.

These post-golden soldiers were all sent by Huang Taiji to look for him.

Liu Xingzuo didn't know what to think, and went directly to fight with the Houjin soldiers, but the opponent had a large number of people, and naturally the whole army was wiped out, and he was also killed.

Originally, for the Ming Dynasty, the impact of Liu Xingzuo's death was not as great as that of a commander-in-chief like Man Gui and Zhao Liaojiao.

But after Ding Yi got the news, his face changed slightly, because he knew that Phi Island might collapse immediately, causing turmoil.

In January of this year, many major events happened, which also affected the whole Phi Island.

On the third day of January, Liu Xingzuo died. On the sixth day of the first month, Sun Yuanhua followed Sun Chengzong to guard Shanhaiguan, and in March, he joined Shandong as the deputy envoy of inspection.

On the ninth day of January, Xu Fuzuo and others who got the news hurriedly reported their military exploits.

Claiming to destroy Jinzhou at the end of December, beheading [-] people (the battle at the Canaan Pass), did not defend for a few days, and then part of the Jin army returned. Under pressure, they had to retreat, and when they were about to retreat, they demolished Jinzhou City, so far, the Houjin soldiers dare not enter Jinzhou.

At this time, Xu Fuzuo was actually quite scared, because he was Yuan's confidant, and Yuan had just been arrested.

After knowing that Yuan was arrested, he wanted to report his military exploits and accumulate merit for himself.

But Ding Yi persuaded him.

At that time, Liu Xingzuo's department was not King Qin, Ding Yi persuaded, you have to report, maybe the court will call us King Qin, have you seen what happened to Zhao Lediao and Man Gui?Do you think your subordinates are more or better than them?

After Yuan was arrested, Xu Fuzuo did not dare to treat Ding Yi as a subordinate, and discussed everything with him. Hearing this, he felt that it made sense.

So I didn't dare to repay the credit.

When the news of Liu Xingzuo's death came on January [-]th, they rushed to repay the credit.

At this time, the bases of Ding Yi's two bastions were also completed, and they were desperately building.

At the same time, the first outer wall began to be dug, and it was necessary to connect all the seashores from the south pass to the east and west sides to form a long Maginot line of defense.

Sometimes Chen and Mao Yongyi went to have a look and found that Ding Yi built the fort differently from others. Ding Yi liked to dig holes and dug out a lot of mud and rocks to build the fort. They didn't understand why Ding Yi dug so many holes, but the two We all know that Ding Yi is a very humble man in war.

Since Yuan was arrested, Xu's status has plummeted, but Chen Shi and Mao Yongyi dared to look down on Xu, but they dared not disrespect Ding Yi.

In the Battle of Jinzhou, they saw Ding Yi's strong soldiers and his fighting skills.

This time, on Lushun's side, Yan Ran is headed by Ding Yi. Whether it's Xu, Mao or Chen, they all like to discuss things with Ding Yi.
-
Beijing in January.

Ever since the Hou Jin soldiers entered the customs, Emperor Chongzhen had not slept well, and had nightmares every day, often dreaming that the city of Beijing was captured by the Hou Jin soldiers.

Even though Huang Taiji has left now, there are still some Empress Jin soldiers remaining in Daming.

The bad news in the past two days has been one after another.

First, Pidao's deputy general Liu Xingzuo died in battle, then Luanzhou was defeated, and then the deputy commander in chief Wei Xian and the guerrilla Zhang Qihua died in battle.

Chongzhen sometimes thinks about it in bed before going to bed, and his heart is bleeding.

There seemed to be no generals or officers in the Ming Dynasty capable of fighting.

Since the Jin Dynasty entered the customs, the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, the participating generals did not know how many people died in battle.

He has no time to write the decree to pursue the seal every day.

Thousands of elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were defeated and slaughtered by Houjin.

Thinking about the history of China, there is no better way to win a country than the Ming Dynasty. I lead billions of people, and all nations come to court. There are thousands of generals and millions of soldiers. No one is the enemy of Houjin?

Is it Zhu Youjian who is incompetent, or the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who are incompetent?
Bang, Chongzhen thought of the embarrassment and anger, and slammed the Zhezi in front of him to the ground.

Wang Chengen beside him suddenly fell to the ground in fright.

at this time.

"Shangshu Liang Tingdong of the Ministry of War asks to see His Majesty." A eunuch outside shouted loudly.
