Be the emperor from the postman

Hong Chengchou only brought food for three days, not only deceived Huang Taiji, but also deceived Zhang Ruolin.

He knew he was in a hurry at this time, so he specially sent someone to send a letter to Hong Chengchou, saying that now that our army has won consecutive victories, even if we fight against the Qing army for a long time, it will not be a disadvantage.

But so many soldiers and horses in Songshan only brought food and grass for three days. Huang Taiji not only besieged Jinzhou, but also surrounded Songshan. It is better for us to go back to Ningyuan and eat.

In order to carry out Chen Xinjia's wishes, this person supervised the battle in the army, and hindered Hong Chengchou everywhere.

Now being surrounded by heavy troops led by Huang Taiji, he is also afraid.

He no longer advocated a decisive battle with the Qing army, and even dared not even meet Hong Chengchou.

After all, "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", it is too normal to want to be moist.

Hong Chengchou dismissed Zhang Ruolin's letter.

Now that I know I'm afraid, what the hell did you do earlier?
But with this letter in hand, Hong Chengchou can pinch his capital.

People who have always advocated quick battles and quick decisions, Zhang Ruolin actually wanted to "run away" when the front-line commander wanted to fight the Qing army?
Once the hat of disturbing the morale of the army is put on, even if Zhang Ruolin's head is hung on the flagpole, no one can find anything wrong.

A dead person, really thought that Chen Xinjia would help him avenge him?
We are all just tools.

Some tools are not important enough to be held in hand.

Hong Chengchou ordered the whole army to guard Songshan. From now on, the soldiers of each battalion are not allowed to make any noise, and unless they are eating tomorrow, they will all bite the branches and wait.

Except for orders, those who dare to violate military orders will be executed without mercy.

The empress dowager made strict arrangements for the Ming army's breakout, and he didn't close his eyes all night.

In the vicinity of Xingshan Mountain, Mongolian Gushan Ezhenkuluke Darhan Alai and Chahar Maohai each led their Mongolian soldiers to lie in wait for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji sent Tan Bai and other troops to help them intercept them, for fear that the Mongols would not be careful.

On the road from Jinzhou to Tashan, Dorgon, Luo Tuo, and Gongtunqi led the Four Banners Guards and the troops of Prince Horqin Tuxietu to intercept the return of the Ming soldiers.

Near Tashan, there are Zhenghuang Banner cavalry generals Babuhai, the clan general of the town, and Oboi, the commander of the guards, each using their headquarters to block the Ming soldiers who fled into Tashan City.

If Ming soldiers go across Tashan, they can pursue Ningyuan to Lianshan.

In Sanggarse Fort, arrange Boluo's first army to intercept.

From the mouth of the Xiaoling River to the seashore, [-] cavalry were patrolled by Gushan Ezhentai of the Zhenghuang Banner, and the Jueming soldiers returned.

In order to encircle and suppress Hong Chengchou's reinforcements, Huang Taiji informed the generals of the enemy's situation and dispatched them one after another. On the second day, all the generals of the Qing army entered the established positions and waited for the Ming army to break through.

Especially with Huang Taiji's plan, blocking the nosebleed from time to time and arranging the generals, they were full of confidence.

The emperor is so disregarding his own life, if we can't wipe out the Ming army, how can we have face?
Therefore, the Qing army was full of fighting spirit from top to bottom.

But the entire Songshan camp was silent, and the reinforcements, which claimed to be 30, seemed to have disappeared collectively.

Three poles in the sun.

Huang Taiji couldn't sleep at all, he covered his nose and went to the front line to investigate the situation.

The sentinel was very convinced that the Ming army fought fiercely yesterday, but they did not break through. After retreating, no one left Songshan at night.

Ditches were dug throughout Songshan, and Qing soldiers patrolled at night.

Jierhalang also showed doubts, even though Hong Chengchou used his troops quite skillfully, he wouldn't disappear in place, would he?
"Your Majesty, do you still want to send someone to make a tentative attack?"

Jierharang made his own suggestion.

The soldiers of the Qing army cheered up half the night, staying in their respective positions, just waiting for the morning to kill the Quartet.

But Hong Chengchou didn't give the order to break out of the siege at all, and not many people were seen on Songshan.

It is impossible for the Ming army to disappear out of thin air!
"Send a Niu Lu to make a tentative attack."

"Yes."

Listening to Huang Taiji's reply, the Qing army naturally stepped forward.

Tang Tong lay on his back in the archery tower built on the camp, turned his head to several gunners who were good at shooting, and said:
"Put the dog tartar closer in a while, and shoot more accurately. The supervisor will reward you."

"Don't worry, sir."

Tang Tong thought for a while and added: "As soon as there are dog tartars who will drag the wounded or corpses, shoot at the draggers."

Huang Taiji arranged it all night, but Hong Chengchou was not fooled. Instead, the Ming army shot and wounded several Qing soldiers.

So much so that Huang Taiji felt dizzy and dizzy, almost unable to hold on and fell directly in front of the positions of the two armies. Jierhalang dragged Huang Taiji back to the tent to rest.

Dorgon and others continued to stand firm.

Hong Chengchou was playing psychological warfare at this time. If the Ming army saw them retreating and suddenly rushed out, wouldn't it be a failure?
Until night fell, Huang Taiji didn't fall asleep, but just closed his eyes and rested his mind, listening to whether there were shouts of killing.

"Your Majesty, it's better to take a nap first to nourish your spirit."

Jierhalang, his hard-core confidant, persuaded him, after all, Huang Taiji was on a bloody march all the way to support him, and he had been observing and testing the arrangements non-stop here, working hard, and he didn't sleep all night last night.

"Hong Chengchou only has three days of rations in his hands. It seems that I underestimated him."

Huang Taiji opened his eyes and said: "If the Ming army does not break through in three days, they will have to kill horses and eat them, so why run?"

"I don't believe that Hong Chengchou will eat people and defend the city like Zu Dashou was besieged in Daling River City!"

Three days.

For three whole days, Huang Taiji did not rest well.

Sleep for a while, then wake up in the night and ask the guards around me if the Ming army broke through?
After getting a negative answer, he fell asleep again.

Huang Taiji's forehead didn't shine anymore, his hair stubble appeared, his whole body looked a little sluggish, his face turned pale, not the complexion of a healthy person.

Bang.

Only one cannon was heard, and there were bursts of shouts and killings on Songshan Mountain.

"coming!"

Huang Taiji couldn't help laughing heartily, rushed out of the tent, pointed in the direction of Songshan and said, "Hong Chengchou, you can't escape my palm!"

Even Huang Taiji suffered from a nervous breakdown. The soldiers of the Qing army were tossed about for three days. From being angry at the beginning to being exhausted physically and mentally now, and then rashly fighting, they were beaten to pieces by the Ming army. The army rushed out of a way.

But Huang Taiji didn't care, this was just an appetizer, and there were more ambush soldiers waiting for the Ming army on the road!
Standing on the archery tower, Hong Chengchou watched the retreat of the Qing army, and said to the left and right: "Huang Taiji is a man of means. He wants to lure our army to go deep, intercept and kill our army on the way, and send an order to withdraw the troops."

There was a sound of Mingjin coming from Songshan.

The Ming army, who had rushed down the mountain, stopped chasing and began to retreat up the mountain. Some people even cut off the heads of the Qing army and carried them back up the mountain.

It doesn't matter who killed it, if the head is in my hands, then I killed it, and it should be credited to me.

After the Ming army voluntarily withdrew, not only many generals of the Qing army were stupefied in ambush for three days and three nights, but even Huang Taiji was extremely astonished.

The Ming army had gained the advantage, why did they return to Songshan?

Suddenly, Huang Taiji suddenly realized that he was cheated by Hong Chengchou!

"The three-day ration is fake news!"

Qi and blood rushed to his heart, his nose was bleeding out, Huang Taiji couldn't speak, his eyes went dark immediately, and he fell back.

Fortunately, the guards quickly stopped him and did not dare to say anything.

Everyone rushed to help Huang Taiji back to rest in the tent, but this story inevitably spread within the Qing army.

The emperor was so angry that he vomited blood!
Naturally, this kind of thing would not reach Hong Chengchou's ears, and now Huang Taiji is in trouble.

God knows how much food and grass Hong Chengchou has hoarded in Songshan?

Not to mention three days, even a month, Huang Taiji and Hong Chengchou can afford it.

But after a long delay, did the Qing Dynasty consume more energy than the Ming Army?

The main purpose of Huang Taiji is to "strike aid", take the opportunity to pull out Songshan's nail, and destroy Daming's entire Ningjin direction.

For this reason, he has already gambled on the Qing Dynasty's national movement and carried out a full-scale mobilization.

With so many people eating horse chews, Huang Taiji couldn't afford it!

Next is winter, where can I find food?

Hong Chengchou's way of forming a stronghold and fighting indifferently, Huang Taiji really has nothing to do with it.

This reminded him of when he confronted He Jinzhao back then, and He Jinzhao did the same thing, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, why don't we make a fake show and immediately send troops into the fortress to plunder, forcing that dog Emperor Daming to transfer Hong Chengchou back to King Qin?"

Ji Erhalang made this suggestion, Huang Taiji shook his head.

He originally wanted to "struggle for aid", but now he has to divide his troops and travel thousands of miles to the vicinity of the capital of Daming.

Not to mention whether any useful food can be grabbed, even if Hong Chengchou really listened to Chongzhen's order, it would be difficult for Huang Taiji to save the lives of the main force of the Ming army, let alone destroy the vital forces of the Ming army and destroy the Ning Jin army. Defense strategy.

Huang Taiji's failure to unify Monan Mongolia has hurt him a bit.

Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou transported grain to the Qing Dynasty. Although it was a loss-making business, it was always a way.

Even the Qing Dynasty can use the name of the Mongols to continue to trade with the Ming Dynasty.

But now this line was abruptly cut off by the hammer bandit He Jinzhao.

Because the land of Shanshan and Shaanxi has suffered disasters year after year, any news of grain transactions in the mutual market point will be confiscated.

Although Zhangjiakou is not occupied by He Jinzhao, the road back to Shenyang from Zhangjiakou is all He Jinzhao's "spies".

The Mongols couldn't seize the transported grain, and burned it all for you, and never let a grain of grain flow to Shenyang.

Huang Taiji also wants to go by sea, but no one has done business with him yet.

Daming was short of food everywhere.

Everyone was at a loss, and it was impossible to attack Songshan by force, so they could only bombard the Ming army with Hongyi cannons first.

But the last time Jin Guofeng led 3000 people, none of them were captured by Huang Taiji, but the Qing army suffered a lot of damage.

Even if he continued to bombard with cannons this time, Huang Taiji didn't hold out any hope.

"Marry my second daughter, Princess Gulun Wenzhuang, to He Jinchao, and ask him to send troops to attack the Ming capital!"

Huang Taiji, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke.

In this way, if you can deceive the Ming army to deal with the hammer bandits together, even if you can't achieve this goal, if you can deceive the Ming army, it will be considered a success!
Anyway, Hong Chengchou cannot be allowed to guard Songshan calmly, which is not conducive to the strategy of the Qing army.

His eldest daughter was betrothed to Bandi, the son of Sechen Draktu, at the age of seven.

As for telling He Jinzhao on the battlefield that he would be his father-in-law and betroth his eldest daughter to him, it was just an excuse.

No one is serious!
In order to win over the Mongols, Huang Taiji continued to marry, and his sons and daughters all did this.

The second daughter was born to Empress Xiaoduanwen, and according to the Han people, she is the eldest daughter.

Now that the Qing Dynasty is in "distress", Huang Taiji can only bring up the old things again.

Princess Gulun Wenzhuang was originally used by Huang Taiji to win over Lin Danhan's son E Zhe, but E Zhe was very sensible and took refuge in his "brother-in-law and uncle"—Tian Khan He Jinzhao.

The seniority between Manchu and Mongolian men and women is very complicated.

Because their marriage customs are regardless of blood relationship, regardless of seniority, and different opinions. This was common at the time, but it was only after entering the customs that step marriages and the like gradually disappeared.

Fan Wencheng frowned, he felt that even if the princess was sent to He Jinzhao's bed, He Jinzhao might not send troops.

The current initiative lies with the hammer bandits, not with the Qing Dynasty!
As for Daming, there is nothing to consider.

At this time, the counselors under Huang Taiji still didn't think of any good way to solve Hong Chengchou's "holding a stronghold and fighting in a daze".

Hong Chengchou didn't need to defeat the Qing army, and he didn't even need Thunderbolt to sweep the hole, but he only succeeded in keeping the Ningjin defense line.

And his tactics are also very clear.

There are many strategic goals that Huang Taiji wants to achieve, such as eliminating the vital forces of Ming Dynasty, destroying the Guanjin defense line, and waiting for an opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan.

Ning Wan and I took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, if we bow our heads to the hammer bandits, it would be great for He Jinzhao to watch the fire from the other side. If he sends the Mongols to attack Shenyang, it will be a bad thing."

Hearing this, Huang Taiji became more and more worried.

This time Shenyang was very empty and could not stand the toss.

He knew very well that when he went to rob Da Ming, Da Ming could hold on, but if someone robbed Shenyang, he really couldn't bear this kind of loss.

He Jinzhao is helping Daming this time, trying to hold himself back from bleeding.

If I bowed my head to him at this time, wouldn't it make him even more unscrupulous?
But the current predicament is really tricky.

Without external force, Huang Taiji couldn't afford to spend it here.

"Your Majesty, instead of pinning your hopes on He Jinchao, you might as well pin your hopes on the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to force Hong Chengchou to fight!"

Fan Wencheng gave his own suggestion. At least in his opinion, Chongzhen has far more experience in ruining Daming than He Jinzhao.

Although He Jinzhao said that he was in Shanxi, and if there was any disturbance, he could go straight to the capital and change the world, but this person was really too impatient to send troops at all.

I just want to watch Ming and Qing fight each other.

And Chongzhen was also very cooperative, very concerned about whether the Ningjin line of defense was in Daming's hands.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to suspend the pursuit of the bandits and the humiliation of negotiating peace with the hammer bandits. He also dispatched the most powerful supervisor of Ming Dynasty and led 10,000+ troops to Liaodong to maintain the direction of Ningjin.

"This idea can be tried."

Huang Taiji agrees, there are actually people in the capital colluding with the Qing Dynasty for so many years, doing business to make money, it is not shabby.

Now is the time to use them.

"Then He Jinzhao doesn't make troubles, just relying on a few rogues to make troubles won't make a difference." Huang Taiji reiterated again:

"Send someone to Shanxi to contact He Jinzhao, and tell him it's a great time to send troops to destroy Ming!
After all, we have a brotherly covenant, and we have sworn oaths to the heavens. After all, I am still his father-in-law. "
