The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 84
After Aobai escaped from the city, he gathered two thousand Mongolian Eight Banners and gathered thousands of rout soldiers who escaped from the city.

But Wu Sangui didn't give him a chance at all.

After controlling the four gates of the main city, after clearing out the remaining enemies in the city a little, he and Huang Degong headed to the two Yichengs on the left and right.

In Yicheng, there were also the former Ming army from Shanhaiguan. After a lot of recruiting and killing, those who surrendered surrendered, and those who fled escaped, it was simply unstoppable.

The Wanming Army who came here was the best of the best among the elite who were carefully selected from among the 30 people.

They all have armor, and melee combat is no worse than the real Eight Banners. How could the mere traitor soldiers and North Korean servants be able to stop them?

After daybreak, the southernmost Laolongtou and the Jiaoshan mountain on the northern peak were also captured by the Ming army.

So far, except for the small castle hanging alone in the east, and the surrounding small sentry cities, the main defense of the entire Shanhaiguan has been controlled by the Ming army.

Aobai also completely gave up, knowing that with his own troops, he would not be able to take back Shanhaiguan no matter what, so he had no choice but to go west with more than [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.

"Marshal, the Tartars have hoarded a large amount of grain in the warehouse, and almost all the granaries are full."

"Oh!"

"Walk…"

Wu Sangui and Huang Degong stood up quickly, and immediately rushed towards the granary.

The two came to the grain depot and looked at the piles of sacks piled up in the warehouses, shaking with excitement.

After wandering around for a while, Huang Degong said tremblingly, "Marquis Wu, I'm afraid there must be a million stones for the food alone."

"Well, just a little more, Brother Huang, look at these grains..."

Wu Sangui nodded excitedly, then looked at him and asked.

"Now that the imperial court is short of food, it is natural to report the amount to His Majesty. Could it be that Marquis Wu wants to take it privately?"

Huang Degong restrained his expression and looked at him with burning eyes.

Wu Sangui was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Brother Huang misunderstood, these grains are naturally to be reported to His Majesty, but this Shanhaiguan is too important, no matter what, we have to hoard 30 to [-] shi grains for emergencies!"

"Your Majesty will make his own decision at that time, and you and I don't need to worry about it now." Huang Degong waved his hand.

Wu Sangui saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and his teeth itch with hatred, but he didn't dare to show it too much.

They all had the idea of ​​secretly killing him.

But in the end, he still didn't dare to do it. After all, there are too many people, and once the matter is leaked, he will be finished.

At this moment, a servant came to the two of them again and reported: "Commander, all the captives have been checked out. There are a total of 8000 people, including [-] brothers who followed the commander before, [-] from the Han Eight Banners, and Korean soldiers. Six thousand."

"The eight thousand old brothers are so comforting, I'm going to give a lecture later, and the others are all rushed to Wengcheng to kill!"

Wu Sangui was full of worries and had nowhere to vent his evil fire, so he waved his hand directly when he heard the words, and said with a distorted expression.

"Marquis Wu, killing prisoners is an unknown matter, I'm afraid it's inappropriate? What's more, if the civil servants find out about this matter, they will definitely impeach you and me."

Huang Degong frowned and persuaded.

"Our troops are limited, how can we have the energy to take care of those prisoners?"

Wu Sangui snorted coldly. They killed nearly 2000 people last night, half of them were his servants. They couldn't take the food for themselves. If they didn't kill some people, how could they vent the anger in their hearts?
As for the impeachment of those civil officials, he is really not afraid now, not to mention that he also feels that his contribution is too great, and it is better to leave some stains.

"Forget about those Korean soldiers, but those Han Eight Banners are my Han people after all, and they were captured by the Tartars at the beginning, so we can give them a chance."

Huang Degong also knew that Wu Sangui was holding his breath, so he had to say it after thinking about it.

"Okay, since Brother Huang begged for mercy, the four thousand Han soldiers and prisoners will be given to you!"

Wu Sangui didn't want to really tear up his face with him because of just a few thousand prisoners, and waved his hands.

"Then thank you Marquis Wu." Huang Degong cupped his hands.

"Brother Huang, now that the main force of the Tartars has entered the customs, it is a great time to recover the cities of Ningjin. Why don't you stay at Shanhaiguan and I go to recover the various places in western Liaoning?"

Wu Sangui also suppressed the unhappiness just now, and tried to discuss.

"This... Marquis Wu, when I came here, my mother told me that I just need to take Shanhai Pass and defend it. I think it's better not to make extra troubles, so as not to disperse the troops and be taken advantage of by the Tartars. That would be a big deal. "

Huang Degong shook his head after thinking about it.

With this little force, they were already stretched to defend Shanhaiguan. If they were to divide their forces, once the main force of the Tartars came back to attack, it would be very difficult to stop them.

"Brother Huang is too conservative!"

"In this way, how about I only take two thousand family members?"

Wu Sangui did not give up.

There is only one Shanhaiguan, and his role will be greatly reduced in the future. At most [-] to [-] soldiers and horses are enough to garrison, and it is not easy to ask the court for too much money and food.

But if the entire Ningjin line of defense can be regained, at least 10,000+ troops will be needed to garrison it, and at least five or six million grains will be spent every year. Even if His Majesty sends civil servants to sit in charge, he will be sure to stand empty.

"It's not that Mr. Huang is conservative, but because of the seriousness of the matter, the empress issued a strict order. Besides, the two thousand family members of Marquis Wu are very familiar with the various places in Shanhaiguan, and they are the main force of defense. They must not leave."

"Then forget it!"

Seeing that he was not moving at all, Wu Sangui moved the red lady out, his face flushed with anger again, and he walked away.

This Huang Degong was hopelessly pedantic.

At this moment, Wu Sangui's hatred for Huang Degong far surpassed Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing.

……

Build a slave camp.

In the handsome tent, as usual, Dorgun and Hong Chengchou were still sitting opposite each other, playing chess leisurely.

"The lord is already out of blue, and I am willing to bow down!"

Seeing that his handsome man had been checked to death and had nowhere to go, Hong Chengchou threw down the chess pieces with a wry smile and admitted defeat.

"Mr. is humble!"

"Sir, the soldiers who subdue others without fighting have benefited me a lot these days. Come again!"

Dorgon is not stupid either, he has only learned chess for two months, how can he be the opponent of this old man?

However, I am very satisfied with his attitude.

The two were about to play chess, and there was another game, but Duo Duo suddenly rushed in, his face full of panic and anxiety.

"Fifteenth brother, what's the point of being so reckless?"

"Didn't the fourteenth brother tell you earlier that for the sake of the generals, you must not be surprised, and the Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your face..."

"Brother Fourteen, something is wrong, Obai lost Shanhaiguan..."

Dodo didn't wait for him to finish, so he interrupted quickly.

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"Shanhaiguan is lost?"

Dorgon stood up in shock, and all the chess pieces in his hand fell to the ground.

Hong Chengchou on the side was also shocked.

Obviously, the loss of Shanhaiguan is even scarier than the collapse of Mount Tai.

"how can that be?"

"Where are the Aobai people?"

After Dorgon came back to his senses, he still couldn't believe it.

"Kneeling outside the camp."

"Drag him in, this king will skin him!"

Dorgon roared.

Scared, Doduo rushed out of the big tent.

After a while, Aobai who looked embarrassed was escorted in, and fell to his knees with a thump as soon as he entered.

"Prince Regent, this servant deserves to die, he lost Shanhaiguan."

"You idiot, the king left you thirty thousand infantry and three thousand cavalry, how did you lose Shanhaiguan?"

Dorgon kicked him over, rushed up to pick him up again, roared with blood red eyes.

"Yes, it's Wu Sangui. His men suddenly appeared in Shanhaiguan as if they had fallen from the sky."

"Okay! Even if he, Wu Sangui, led the heavenly soldiers and generals, and suddenly killed him in a sneak attack, how could he take Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop?"

Obviously, Dorgon knows how difficult Shanhaiguan is.

"The Ming army divided into two groups and launched a surprise attack from the south gate and the east gate at the same time, and all of them were brave and fearless, so this slave was caught off guard." Obai explained honestly.

"You pig..."

Dorgon knocked him over again with one punch, Oboi fell to the ground covered in blood, but he didn't dare to groan.

Apparently Obai also understood the importance of Shanhaiguan, and knew that this time he might be doomed.

(Let’s just say, it’s the fourth round again, and it’s decided to start three times a day from Sunday. Please don’t keep books, and read them every day. I’m begging.)
