Chapter 72: Send troops to Liaodong to conquer Jiannu

Spring passes and autumn comes, and months pass before you know it. What is supposed to come finally comes.

Goryeo, which had always surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, suddenly rebelled. With lightning speed, it killed the Qing troops and officials stationed in Goryeo, and assembled a large army on the northern border.

With such a formation, they are obviously ready for a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty.

After receiving the news, Huang Taiji was furious and immediately ordered his troops to prepare to conquer Goryeo again.

Unexpectedly, the large army had not yet set out, but they received urgent reports from spies, saying that the leaders of the Mobei Tatar tribes had secretly gathered many times, and there seemed to be signs of joining forces.

Speaking of which, the reason why Huang Taiji was able to conquer the Tatar tribes was not because the Jurchens were really that powerful in combat.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, that is, the generation of ancestors of the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty, ran wild and arrogant in the Southern Song Dynasty, thinking that they could occupy the Central Plains and unify the country.

As a result, they were beaten by the Tatars and almost exterminated.

In the post-Jin era, the Jurchens finally learned to be smart and adopted various methods such as differentiation, wooing, and marriage to divide the various Tatar tribes and turn them into a loose sand.

Once it is discovered that someone wants to unify all the Tatar tribes, they will concentrate all their efforts to destroy them.

In short, they know very well that only a scattered Tatar can be used by them. Once they unite... they will become a lost dog.

In this case, how could Huang Taiji care about Goryeo?While sending more spies to Mobei to continue reconnaissance, they also began to mobilize a large number of troops to take early precautions.

Little did they know that all this was planned secretly by Ding Xiu.

For this plan, he has been preparing for more than two years, and secretly sent many people to Mobei and Gaoli to lobby.

Now, it's finally time for the decisive battle.

The night before departure, Ding Xiu stayed with Queen Zhang all night.

After all, this is the woman he likes and loves the most.

The room smelled of sea breeze.

Queen Zhang's hair was messy and she nestled in Ding Xiu's arms with a lazy look.

There is still a little bit of sweat on the face that is like a peach blossom blooming.

A strange fragrance that was different from usual came over, making Ding Xiu's eyes become fiery again.

"Don't..." Queen Zhang seemed to have guessed Ding Xiu's thoughts. She raised her head and looked at Ding Xiu and murmured: "My husband will go on an expedition tomorrow. It's not appropriate...it's not appropriate to work too hard."

Ding Xiu smiled: "It doesn't matter, I'm strong, stronger than an ox."

This is really not bragging.

Ding Xiu's energy has always been very strong. Even if he works hard all night, he will be energetic again after resting for an hour or two at most.

Not long after, Ding Xiu couldn't help but start playing with those beautiful feet that were like jade bamboo shoots.

Queen Zhang's face was hot.

She had long known that her husband had such a hobby. When she sprained her foot and Ding Xiu healed her, she felt that this guy was a little dishonest.

After a while, Ding Xiu leaned over and whispered: "Baozhu, why not..."

Queen Zhang looked shy: "Huh? Don't..."

Usually, when a woman says no, she means she wants it.

At dawn, Ding Xiu left the palace.

Looking at his leaving figure, Queen Zhang murmured: "Husband, I am waiting in the palace for your triumphant return."

Originally, she wanted to give it to her husband as a gift, but her waist, legs, and feet were sore, so she was really unable to do so.

Besides, farewell is always sentimental.

This time, Ding Xiu announced that he was leading his troops to Ryukyu to help exterminate Japanese pirates.

Many courtiers had doubts about this.

Of course there is no problem in assisting Ryukyu in exterminating Japanese pirates. After all, everyone hates Japanese pirates.

But why does the emperor need to lead the expedition in person?Is it possible that after encircling and suppressing the Japanese pirates in Ryukyu, they will also go to Japan and attack the Japanese pirates' lair?

In fact, Ding Xiu was not completely lying. This trip was indeed going to Ryukyu.

But instead of him going, another group of people was sent.

His destination was to quietly go to Liaodong by sea to conquer the Jiannu!
Liaodong, Shengjing.

Early in the morning, people who were about to enter the city suddenly found that they could not enter the city, and those who wanted to go out could not get out of the city.

This is because a series of massacres occurred in the city last night, and several important officials of the Qing Dynasty headed by Bao Chengxian died suddenly overnight.

The heads were also cut off and hung outside the street gate.

Including his family members, except for the female relatives, no one is left alive.

This clearly means weeding out the weeds and ending its incense inheritance.

For a time, the entire Shengjing City fell into panic, and everyone was in danger.

These dead important officials have one thing in common. They were all former generals or officials of the Ming Dynasty. Later, they all defected and joined Houjin.

Therefore, their deaths were considered by everyone to be the revenge of the Ming Dynasty.The perpetrators were either Dongchang spies or Jinyiwei spies.

As soon as this case happened, the officials of the Ming Dynasty who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were frightened. They wanted to send their families away, but they could not leave the city.

As a result, before the reasons for these major cases were found out, another more sensational major case occurred:

In the middle of the night, an earth-shaking roar suddenly came from Yongfu Palace, followed by thick smoke and fire. In another palace not far away, a timid eunuch was frightened to death on the spot.

When a group of eunuchs, maids, and guards finally put out the fire, they found that most of the people living in Yongfu Palace were dead.

Among them were Dafu Jin and his youngest son Fu Lin.

Fu Lin is the ninth son of Huang Taiji. He used to just kill those Ming officials who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but now he is actually making trouble on Tai Sui?

Obviously, this is all carefully planned.

After the death of Fujin and the death of the emperor's son, Huang Taiji was naturally very sad and angry, and ordered people to strictly investigate the eunuchs, maids, and servants in the palace.

How could there have been such a big explosion in the inner palace if there was no cooperation between the inside and the outside?
Moreover, this has seriously threatened Huang Taiji's safety.He can blow up his son today, but who knows if it will blow up on his head one day?

I searched here and there, killing hundreds of people, but couldn't find a single clue.

At this time, several ministers in the court who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty died unexpectedly.

The court was in complete chaos.

Because everyone no longer feels safe, even the prince and concubine dare to kill, let alone them.

Huang Taiji couldn't bear it anymore and decided to lead his troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, both to vent his hatred and to appease people's hearts.

Little did he know that this move played into Ding Xiu's plan.

He started planning this matter two years ago and secretly sent dozens of elites to sneak into Shengjing and lurk in various identities.

Such as servants, handymen, or even beggars.

In short, he integrates into the city as an ordinary person and does not do any actions except collecting target intelligence.

It wasn't until a month ago, after receiving the secret order, that the plan began step by step.

Ding Xiu's purpose was not just to put Huang Taiji and Daming Huo at odds. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had led 3000 troops and quietly reached Sarhu.That's right, it was the Saarhu where the Ming army suffered a disastrous defeat.

For the Qing Dynasty, the strategic location of Saarhu was very important.

Once the Jiefan City is breached, they can march straight in and kill Huang Taiji's home base: Hetuala.

Hetuala is the capital of Houjin where Nuerhachi became the Khan, and the home base of Zhengbai Banner. It has always been regarded as the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

To put it simply, this is the root of Huang Taiji and the root of Manchuria.

Cutting weeds requires weeding, so Ding Xiu's primary goal on this trip is Hetuala.

According to information from spies, although Hetuala is also guarded by Eight Banners soldiers, there are only more than [-] of them.

Not to mention 1 people, so what if it’s [-] or [-]?
Although Ding Xiu only brought 3000 people, these 3000 people were the best among the best. It is not an exaggeration to say that one can block ten.

Not to mention himself, he could easily cut down a group of cavalry with a heavy sword.

What's more, this time I also brought some lightweight firearms, such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon, Sky Thunder, etc., which are best for dealing with the cavalry.

Huang Taiji never dreamed that a huge crisis had already arrived.

He had already received news about Ding Xiu leading his troops to the expedition, but he always thought that Ding Xiu had gone to Ryukyu.

Who knew that Ding Xiu would cross the sea secretly, secretly cross the sea to Chencang, arrive in Liaodong, and go straight to his home base of Hetuala?

He has already led his troops to attack Ningyuan and Jinzhou.

This is not the first time he has attacked Ning Jin, nor does he have any grudge against Ningyuan and Jinzhou.If these two cities are not destroyed, how can we enter the pass and compete in the Central Plains?

As before, the Ming garrison defended the city and fired back with artillery. The two sides once again fell into a stalemate.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of people descended from the sky like divine soldiers and launched an attack on Jiefan City.

Of course, this is just a feint, the purpose is to divert the opponent's attention.

However, Ding Xiu led his people in a circle and went straight to Hetuala.

……

"Report!"

An Eight Banners soldier hurried into the camp and said in a hurried tone: "Your Majesty, we have just received an urgent report that Jiefan City has been attacked by enemies."

"What?" Huang Taiji's face changed in shock.

At this moment, he felt vaguely enlightened.

However, he still didn't think about Ding Xiu. He thought it was a conspiracy designed by Ming Dynasty to deliberately lure him to attack the city, but he secretly went to his lair.

"Send the order, break camp immediately!"

In fact, there is no room for Huang Taiji to think too much. After all, it is related to the safety of his hometown Hetuala. All major matters can be put aside for the time being. He must go back for reinforcements.

"kill!"

Ding Xiu Shen led the soldiers at the front, brandishing a heavy sword and charging towards the large group of cavalry in front.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and smoke and dust were swept up in the sky like a sandstorm.

"emperor!"

Seeing that the other party started to fire arrows, several of his men hurriedly followed, fearing that something might happen to Ding Xiu.

The emperor's personal expedition can certainly boost morale, but he does not allow you to go into battle to kill the enemy in person.Even if you go into battle to kill the enemy in person, you don't have to rush to the front to take everyone's credit, right?

"Watch out for flying arrows!"

"Clang clang clang..."

Ding Xiu swung his sword and knocked away several arrows flying towards him. Then he caught the horse's belly and rushed towards the enemy group like wind.

"boom!"

One knife cut off a head.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Xiu brandished his knife like a murderous god and cut a bloody path straight towards the enemy general.

With such a rampage, he immediately disrupted the enemy's formation and fell into chaos.

As a result, the subordinates who were following behind became even more motivated, and their killing sounds were loud. They cut in from different directions to fight against the enemy.

"kill!"

Ding Xiu seemed to be furious. He felt uncomfortable riding a horse, so he jumped off the horse, moved his body left and right, and quickly rushed in front of the enemy general.

The enemy general was startled, and for a moment he felt timid.

At this moment, Ding Xiu suddenly jumped up and kicked a cavalryman away. At the same time, he kicked off the saddle with his right foot and jumped up high again.

The light of the sword flew down in the sky, like a waterfall from a high mountain.

The enemy general turned pale with fear and subconsciously raised his sword to meet him.

"boom!"

With a dull sound, the knife in the enemy's hand was instantly broken into two pieces, followed by a splash of blood.

This sword not only cut off the sword in the enemy general's hand, but also chopped off half of his head.

"hiss!"

The men who saw this scene took a deep breath.

The might of a sword is so terrifying?
When they came back to their senses, everyone seemed to have been given a shot of blood, and their morale was even higher.

"kill!"

For a time, the air was filled with the sound of rushing and killing one after another.

On the contrary, the enemy was so frightened that they began to flee in all directions.

"Kill! Not one left!"

Ding Xiu remounted his horse and gave a loud order.

A few days later, when Huang Taiji hurried back to his lair with his troops, Ding Xiu and his party had already disappeared.

"puff!"

Seeing his hometown turned into ruins and corpses scattered everywhere, Huang Taiji vomited a large mouthful of blood on the spot, his vision went dark, and he fell off his horse.

Historical records: Hetuala was completely destroyed. Huang Taiji could not bear the blow and fell from his horse and fell into a coma.

Three days later, he died of his injuries while being escorted back to Shengjing.

Civil war broke out among the Jurchen tribes, and riots began in Shengjing. Huang Taiji's younger brother Duo Ergun led his troops to suppress it, but was shot to death by random arrows in the chaos, was trampled by horse hooves, and was almost reduced to a pulp.

The tribes of Goryeo and Mobei took the opportunity to attack Liaodong. The Jurchen tribes retreated steadily, suffering heavy casualties... The survivors disappeared.

Since then, the Jurchen tribe has completely disappeared in the long river of history.
