Chapter 708 Luofengtai and the coming of the strong wind (Part )
First, Emperor Shunzhi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty restored the post of Governor-General of Xuanda, and appointed Tong Yangliang, who participated in quelling the Jiangwan Rebellion and was familiar with the situation in Shanxi and Xuanfu, as Governor-General of Xuanda. Regardless of his old age, Tong Yangliang hurried to Datong after receiving the order. But as soon as he arrived at Xuanfu Town, he received news that the guards were surrounding Datong.

Governor Tong had few troops and did not dare to send troops for rescue. He only ordered Shanxi Governor Bai Rumei and Taiyuan Town Commander-in-Chief Li Haoxian to strengthen the defense of Yanmen and Ningwu Pass to prevent the guards from going south to Taiyuan. He also ordered Xuanhua Town Commander-in-Chief Tong Xuewen to guard the Huai'an Guard. , Baoan Prefecture, Yanggao Dao Cao Rong guarded Yanggao Wei City; at the same time, he kept asking Emperor Shunzhi for help. Emperor Shunzhi had no choice but to ignore the emptiness of the capital and sent another 5,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Datong.

This Kede has an extraordinary origin. He is the tenth son of the famous traitor Li Yongfang, who was incorporated into the Zhenglan Banner of Manchuria. Li Yongfang is said to be the grandson of Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty. He made great contributions to Manchuria's entry into the Pass. Later Emperor Yongzheng once commented that Shang, Geng, Shi, Li, Tong, Zu, Cai and Wang were the eight families of the Han army, namely the Shang Kexi family, Geng Zhongming family, Shi Han family, Li Yongfang family, Tong family, Zu Dashou family, Cai Yurong family, Wang Shixuan family. Li Yongfang was lucky enough to be among them. He was supposed to be a decent Han Chinese, but he insisted that he was a descendant of the Manchus. He gave his sons Manchu names after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. The third son Gang Atai, the fourth son Hashku, the fifth son Bayan, the sixth son Hutuli, the seventh son Hubai, the eighth son Kesheng'e, and the ninth son Kede. If the eldest son Li Yangeng and the second son Li Shutai were not born earlier, they would probably have to change their names to Manchurian names.

After receiving this support force, Governor Tong became emboldened and ordered Kede to lead 3,000 troops to guard Huaian Guard and Baoan Prefecture together with Tong Xuewen, the general of Xuanhua Town. Wu Guozhen led 2,000 troops to station in Yanggao Guard City, waiting for an opportunity to harass the guards besieging Datong. military. Fortunately, the Great Khan of Lianhua used his troops very quickly. Wu Guozhen had already captured Datong before he entered Yanggaoweicheng. After hearing the news, he frowned deeply. He couldn't make up his mind whether to send a partial force to monitor the Qing army in Xuanfu and Yanggao, and then lead the army south to Taiyuan, or to attack and destroy the Qing army in Yanggao and Xuanfu first.

The situation was stronger than the people, and someone quickly helped him make a decision.
-
When she heard the news that the guards were moving south, Empress Dowager Zhaosheng helped her son Emperor Shunzhi come up with the idea of ​​encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. She asked Prince Wu Keshan of Zhuoliketu of the Horqin tribe to lead the army to attack Chahar, and Bahana, the bachelor of the Academy of Secretaries, led the army to attack Chahar. Guihua City.

Although Wu Keshan, Prince Zhuoliketu of the Horqin tribe, was angry that Emperor Shunzhi deposed his daughter as queen, he was the eldest brother of the Empress Dowager and the emperor's uncle after all. For so many years, the Horqin tribe had been married to the Qing Dynasty and relied on the Qing Dynasty. Under the protection of the Qing Dynasty, they received a large amount of high-quality pasture land. The tribe became prosperous day by day, with a much larger population and livestock. If the Qing Dynasty died, it would be a great disadvantage to the Horqin tribe.

At that time, Wu Keshan ordered his younger brother Heshuo Darhan Prince Manzhu Xili to convene the Horqin Tribe, Zhalaite Tribe, and Durbot Tribe (a branch of the Oirat Durbot Tribe) as the leader of the Zhelim League. ) and the Taijis from the Gorros tribe came to discuss the military situation at the foot of Zhelim Mountain in the Horqin Right Wing Middle Banner.

Under the towering Zhelimu Mountain, there was a buzz of people. Taijis from the four divisions and ten banners of the Zhelimu League came. Especially the Horqin Left Center Banner where Wu Keshan is located is the most prominent. There are actually two princes and a county king in one banner. Prince Zhuoliketu Wu Keshan is the eldest brother of the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, Prince Manzhu Xili of Heshuo Darhan Batulu is the second brother of the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, and King Qitat of Doluo County is the elder brother of Horqin Beile Manggusi. Nephew of Sun and Wu Keshan. In addition to the right center banner, the other five banners of the Horqin tribe also have prominent titles. The right center banner holder is Badali, Prince Heshuo Tuxietu, the right front banner holder is Baiskalfengduoluo County, the left wing front banner is lord Esenfeng Zhasak Tubingtu County, and the left wing queen The leader of the banner, Zhangji Lun, was granted the title of Prince of Duoluo County, and the leader of the right-wing rear banner, Lamashi Xi, was granted the title of Duke of the Town. One tribe granted seven kings and one duke, vividly portraying the harem as having someone who could serve as an official.

Compared with the Horqin tribe, other tribes are much poorer. The leader of the Zhalaite Banner, Seleng, and the leader of the Duerbot Banner, Seleng, are just Gushanbeizi. The leader of the Goerluosi Banner, Bumuba, is just the duke of the town. The leader of the Goerluosi Front Banner, Guci, is just a auxiliary. Just the Duke.

"Everyone, the Oirat bandits have come. They have captured the Ulanqab League, Yikezhao League, and Chahar League, and are attacking Datong. The Emperor ordered me to command the Zhelim League, Zhaowuda League, and Zhuosuotu League. The coalition forces of various ministries have retaken Chahar and cut off the retreat of the Guards. I have ordered the leader of the Zhuosotu League, Gulusbuqi, and the leader of the Zhaowuda League, Gunchuk, to lead their troops to rendezvous at Keshiketeng Banner. Today I am I called you guys here to discuss sending troops," Wu Keshan said gently. Although he made his younger brother Manzhu Xili serve as the leader of the Zhelim League, because of his high moral standing, he still listened to him on important matters of the Horqin tribe and even the entire Zhelim League.

"What else are you talking about? Since we have been married to the Qing Dynasty for generations, we will naturally share the emperor's worries. In my opinion, the flag with a small population will send 1,000 troops, and the flag with a large population will send 2,000 troops. They will be assembled within ten days and rush to the Keshiketeng Banner." , Wu Keshan’s third son Bier Tahar shouted. He married Aixinjueluo Yatu, the fourth daughter of Huang Taiji, the eldest princess of Gulunyongmu. She was the brother-in-law of Emperor Shunzhi, so he was naturally interested in his brother-in-law's affairs.

"Shut up! There are so many elders who haven't spoken yet, how can you speak?" Wu Keshan pretended to be angry and glared at his son fiercely. Biltahar, who had been shouting so loudly just now, suddenly did not dare to speak.

Seeing the father and son acting softly and forcefully, all the auspicious people knew that it would be impossible without sending troops. The Zhalaite tribe is also related by marriage to the Manchu royal family. The banner leader Se Leng was the first to express his position, "I, the Zhalaite tribe, are willing to send a thousand troops to obey your orders."

"Our Dulbert tribe also sent a thousand troops," the banner leader Seleng also said.

Other Taiwanese and Kyrgyzstan countries have also expressed their willingness to send troops. Soon, the discussion was completed. Horqin's left center banner and right center banner each sent 2,000 troops, the left front banner and right front banner each sent 1,500 troops, the left rear banner and the right rear banner each sent 1,000 troops; the Zalaite banner and the Dulbert banner each sent 1,500 troops. , the front banner of Guoerluosi, and the rear banner of Guoerluosi each sent one thousand troops, for a total of 13,000 troops, and rushed to Keshiketeng Banner ten days later.

The leader of the Zhuosotu League is Dorodulembel Gulusbuqi, the right-wing banner of Karaqin. Like the Horqin tribe, the Karaqin tribe is also a large tribe that has been married to the Manchu royal family for generations, and also has connections in the harem of the Qing Dynasty. After receiving Emperor Shunzhi's order and Wu Keshan's letter, Gulusi Buqi ordered the three banners of the Karaqin tribe without hesitation: the Karaqin right-wing banner, the Karaqin left-wing banner, and the Karaqin middle-wing banner. The two banners of the Tumote tribe (East Tumute): the Tumute right-wing flag and the Tumute left-wing flag each sent one thousand troops, and together with five thousand soldiers and horses, they rushed to the Keshiketeng banner.

Keshiketeng Banner is located in the west of Zhaowuda League, but the troops of Zhaowuda League are the slowest to assemble. When the 18,000-strong allied forces of Wu Keshan and Gu Lusbuqi arrived at the Keshiketeng Banner, the leader of the Zhaowuda Alliance, Dorodarhan County King Gunchuk, spent a lot of effort to gather the Naiman Banner, Bahrain Right Banner, Bahrain Left Banner, Zalut Right Banner, Zalut Left Banner, Keshiketeng Banner, Aruhorqin Banner, Ongnute Right Banner, Ongnute Left Banner, six departments, nine banners and nine thousand troops, There are still troops from Aohan Left Banner, Aohan Right Banner, and Khalkha Left Banner that have not yet arrived.
