Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 613 The sea and land attack the Qing captives simultaneously, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo to return to western Liaoning!
Jinzhou.

Ever since he was granted the title of Pingxi King by the Qing court and took control of Liaoxi, Wu Sangui set up the Pingxi Palace in Jinzhou City.

It can be regarded as being in the very center of western Liaoning, which can give Wu Sangui a sense of security.

Ever since he refused to surrender unconditionally and returned to the Ming Dynasty, and instead accepted the title of King Pingxi granted by the Qing court, Wu Sangui thought that he should be happier.

But in the past year or so, not only was he unhappy, but his gray hair appeared because he was worried all day long.

It should be noted that he is only 39 this year, not yet 40 years old.He has always been well-clothed and well-fed, and has never suffered any crimes in life, so there is no reason for Huafa to be born prematurely.

Now he not only has gray hair, but also a lot.

Recently, a series of changes in the Ming army in Beizhili made him more nervous and worried, and he felt that his gray hair was about to increase again.

"My lord, is your hair still dyed?" Chen Yuanyuan asked while holding a special potion.

"Ran." Wu Sangui frowned tightly and said, "We must not let the soldiers see Gu with white hair."

After speaking, Wu Sangui sat on the stool and asked Chen Yuanyuan to dye his hair.

Chen Yuanyuan was only half dyed when a trusted general of Wu Sangui walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the spies have found out the exact news. The Ming army really intends to go out to attack the Qing Dynasty after the spring planting."

Wu Sangui stood up after hearing this, and nearly knocked over the ink in Chen Yuanyuan's hand, but fortunately, Chen Yuanyuan reacted quickly and took a step back.

"Did you find out how the Ming army dispatched troops?" Wu Sangui asked urgently.

The confidant general wondered: "Your Majesty, how can our spies inquire about such secrets? Now the Ming court is not like Chongzhen's time when there are leaks everywhere. If they want to keep things secret, it is difficult to inquire about them."

Wu Sangui paced back and forth anxiously.

In fact, even if he couldn't find out the specific deployment of the Ming army's attack on the Qing, he could still guess one or two.

No matter how many routes the Ming army had, one of them must pass through western Liaoning.In other words, their Guan Ning army is the target that the Ming army must attack.

Since the end of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army in the first year of Zhaowu, the Guanning Army has been confronting the Ming Army on the front line of Shanhaiguan for more than a year.

It is not accurate to say that the confrontation is actually true. With the strength of the Ming army, it is entirely possible to capture Shanhaiguan, but the Ming army did not do so.

Even though Guan Ningjun had Shanhaiguan in hand, he did not dare to step into the pass.

Because today's Guan Ning army met the Ming army, their performance was not as good as when they met the Qing army. Basically, they were defeated but never won.

Wu Sangui and all the senior generals of the Guan Ning Army have already exhausted their efforts to win over the middle and low-level soldiers, so how can they have the heart to fight Daming's attention?
Thinking that the Guan Ning Army had no chance of winning against the Ming Army, Wu Sangui suddenly regretted his choice.

He looked at the trusted general and asked, "Longshan, you said that the lonely king agreed to surrender unconditionally to Daming, is there still time?"

Xia Longshan and Hu Xinshui, another Mongol general in the Guanning Army, are also known as Wu Sangui's right-hand men, and they are both true confidants.

It is precisely because he is a confidant that Xia Longshan understands Wu Sangui better.

At this time, he was surprised when he heard the words, and then asked, "Is your majesty really willing to surrender unconditionally?"

"Eh..." Wu Sangui didn't speak for a moment.

In fact, he just didn't have the confidence to fight against the Ming army, and he wasn't really willing to give up his current glory and wealth.

After thinking for a while, he said, "If Emperor Zhaowu treats Gu too lightly, Gu is still willing to surrender."

Xia Longshan didn't answer, but he was thinking in his heart: You are talking nonsense, as far as we let the Qing army enter the customs, Emperor Zhaowu would be tolerant if he didn't kill you.

Of course, not killing you was the "treatment" when you were asked to surrender unconditionally a year ago. Now that the Ming army is about to go out to attack the Qing Dynasty, if you surrender unconditionally, you may not be able to get the treatment you had back then.

Thinking of this, Xia Longshan looked at Wu Sangui, who was obviously fatter than a year ago, and a strange look flashed across his eyes...

The sixth day of April in the third year of Zhaowu.

The Ming court used Yinxi as the governor of Shanxi, Beizhili, and Shandong provinces to take charge of the military affairs and logistics of the Qing Dynasty.

With Huang Degong, the Marquis of Jingnan, as the commander of the North Route Army, and Li Guoying, a man from Yizhou County, as the deputy commander of the North Route Army, he led the Seventh Town, the Eighth Town, the Ninth Town, No.11 Town, No.12 Town, and No. .13 Town and the third town of the imperial guards (cavalry town), went north out of Shanhaiguan, and defeated the puppet Qingping Xi Wang Wu Sangui.

With Weiyuanbo Zengying as the commander of the South Route Army, and Liu Wenxiu, a son of Xingping County, as the deputy commander, order the Second Town of the Imperial Guard Army, the Fifth Town of the Imperial Guard Army, the Second Town of the Frontier Defense Army, Liu Zhaoji, Ma Yingkui, Zhang Shiyi, Zhang Pengyi defended the Jiangbei garrison in four towns, and landed in Jinzhou and Fuzhou on a navy boat to defeat Geng Zhongming, the puppet southern king of Qingping.

On the day of the battle, Xiongguan Shanhaiguan, which was regarded as a barrier by the Guanning army, was captured by the Ming army after less than half an hour of artillery bombardment from both sides.

After the Ming army left Shanhaiguan, the generals and soldiers of the Guanning army guarding the fortresses all surrendered in anticipation of the wind.

In just three days, the Ming army reached the city of Jinzhou.

Not long after Huang Degong and Li Guoying led the army to stop under the city of Jinzhou, the city gate opened, but a team of "messenger" came out.

The envoy was a low-level civil servant of the Guanning Army Group. After seeing Huang Degong, he didn't dare to beat around the bush, and directly presented several loads of gold and silver treasures and three letters from Wu Sangui.

These three letters were addressed to Huang Degong, the commander of the North Route Army, Du Yinxi, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Zhaowu, the son of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Degong read his letter and found that Wu Sangui described his friendship with the Liaodong Army in the letter, and begged him to forward the other two letters so that he could have the opportunity to express his sincerity of unconditional surrender to the emperor.

After reading it, Huang Degong snorted coldly: "If you want to surrender, you should surrender as soon as possible. Don't you think it's too late before the army arrives at the city of Jinzhou?"

The envoy bit the bullet and said: "Master Hou, my lord was also troubled by many parties before, so he failed to surrender in time. Now it has not caused a big mistake. I hope Lord Hou can give my lord a chance."

After finishing speaking, he deliberately handed over the gift slips of those loads of gold and silver treasures, indicating that they were for Huang Degong alone.

Huang Degong didn't even look at it, instead he said: "I think Wu Sangui wants to delay the time and wait for the reinforcements from the Qing army, right?

You go back and tell him that if you want to surrender, you have to tie yourself out of the city and wait for the court's disposition.

Want His Majesty to read his letter?There are no doors.Your Majesty has already said that she has so much to do, she has no time to spare! "

The messenger's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

He knew that no matter how unreliable Huang Degong was, no matter how much he looked down on Wu Sangui, he would not falsely spread the emperor's oral instructions in the army—that is to say, Emperor Zhaowu really said that he would not read Wu Sangui's letters.

Although he felt that this mission was a failure, the emissary still wanted to wait for a while to see if there was any other opportunity.

For example, he himself surrendered and got a half-time job.

Huang Degong was already impatient, and while signaling his soldiers to take the envoys out, he said: "I only give Jinzhou City half an hour, and if no one opens the door to offer the city after half an hour, don't blame our cannons for being rude."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and let the soldiers take the envoy away.

The envoy returned to Jinzhou City and told what happened and what he had seen and heard in the Ming army barracks. Wu Sangui's face suddenly turned pale.

He sat paralyzed on a lacquered and jade-painted throne, muttering to himself blankly, "That person is determined to kill me, Wu Sangui..."

"General~"

Seeing Wu Sangui's distraught look, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help holding his head and sobbing.

Seeing this scene, Xia Longshan in the hall walked out quietly.

When he got outside, he said to the soldiers guarding the Pingxi Palace: "Take care of the King, don't let him get overwhelmed and burn the palace. If so, we will have nothing to say to Daming, understand?"

Although these soldiers were all members of the Wu family in the Guanning Army in the past, but at this point, they may not be able to save their own lives, and naturally they have no loyalty to Wu Sangui.

They heard that Xia Longshan intended to use Wu Sangui and Pingxi Palace as a nomination certificate, but they still nodded in agreement.

After that, Xia Longshan quickly contacted more "reliable" generals in the city, such as Hu Xinshui and Wang Gongliang, and killed Wu Sangui's real loyal descendant Wu Guogui and others, and opened the gate of Jinzhou before the half-hour deadline came.

In this regard, Jinzhou City, which had been lost to the enemy for many years, returned to the embrace of Daming again.

At the same time, after the South Route Army landed in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, it also marched rapidly, like a broken bamboo...
