Huanglong's more than 10,000 people rushed up afterwards, and the group of dragons who built the remnant army without a leader had long been exhausted, and there was no suspense at all.
Huang Long, Jin Guoqi, and Zhang Cunren worked together to wipe out the remnant army, and then quickly marched northward, regaining the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and joined He Kegang with 50,000 troops until they moved to Phoenix.
The distance from Phoenix City is closer than the distance from Youtun to Liaoyang. It can be said that it has already advanced to the edge of the Jianlu hinterland.
There was such a big movement in Dongjiang Town, and the news naturally spread to Shenyang soon.
Shenyang suddenly became tense up and down, and the army mobilized from various places to gather in Shenyang, and even wrote to Mongolia for help.
Shenyang.
According to the original plan, Huang Taiji intends to change the name of his family, the name of the country, and the emperor of Yuan Dynasty next year.
At this moment, the news of Dongjiang Town's defeat came out.
But before that, something big happened in Shenyang.
Mang Guertai rebellion!
The husband of Mangguertai's sister was the chief who built another big tribe. He had already negotiated the details of the rebellion, but the brother-in-law was weak and reported it to Huang Taiji overnight.
Naturally, there was no surprise that Mang Gurtai and others were arrested, and Mang Gurtai's sister Mang Guji was executed by the harshest criminal law-Ling Chi.
Manggurtai ranks third among the four major Baylors in Nurhachi to the present, and is still above Huangtaiji, and has great prestige in Jianlu.
He was arrested and put to death, which naturally caused a huge shock in Jianlu.
The big Belle Deshan was suppressed and could only pretend to be dead and did not speak. The life or death of Erbeile Amin on the expedition to Dongjiang Town is unknown, and now Huang Taiji, a great sweat, is in charge.
The fall of Mang Gurtai caused a lot of tension in the construction of the captives, and the news that Amin was defeated, and that the Ming army sent troops northward, made Shenyang go up and down, and there was a lot of wind and chills.
Shenyang, Palace Chamber.
Huang Taiji, Fan Wenchen, Ji'erhalang, Daishan and others were all present, discussing the matter of the Ming army marching north.
Ji'erhalang looked cold, with strong vigilance in his eyes, and said: "The Ming army in Dongjiang Town has 50,000 people. They are sweeping across the east and south of Phoenix City, and there are small groups of troops to test Liaoyang. The Ming army in Dalinghe also changed. Two thousand people were advancing north of Guangning. They were very cautious and did not advance aggressively."
In the hall, a group of people looked very solemn.
The 40,000 people Amin took away can be said to be half of the army of the Kingdom of Jin. The remaining army in Shenyang, if it is full, is 40,000. This counts as a variety of miscellaneous troops. The true total strength is already less than the second year of Chongzhen One-fifth of the plug!
In addition, Amin took away a large amount of food and grass, and the entire Jin Kingdom has already suffered a famine. If the Ming Dynasty really comes to attack, what will Jin Kingdom do
Fan Wenchen looked at the solemn atmosphere in the hall, suddenly laughed, and raised his teacup with a composure.
Dai Shan and the others frowned, looking at him a little unkindly.
Huang Taiji's solemn expression was gentle, and he smiled and said, "What did you think of, sir?"
Fan Wenchen put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Profuse sweating, how about my big gold, can it be worse than when I first sweated? No matter how fierce the Ming Dynasty is, can it be comparable to the Wanli period?"
Everyone was startled when they heard, Huang Taiji said with a smile on his face: "Mr. said it is extremely true."
Other people also reacted, indeed. During the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty's three-way army, 70,000 elite, plus more than 100,000 others, did not result in a disastrous defeat
The current situation is no better than that of the Ming Dynasty, but their Great Golden State is far better than that of the past!
Daishan looked calm and said, "Sweat, which way is the first one?"
Nurhachi defeated the Ming Dynasty three-way army. There is a very classic saying that is also the key to victory: no matter how many ways you come, I will only go all the way.
Huang Taiji thought for a while and said, "It depends on which one of them comes first."
The Ming army was very cautious in marching north. Zhou Zheng's army in Dongjiang Town only entered Phoenix, and they could quickly retreat to Phi Island or Lushun. In Liaodong, you can return to Youtun faster, or even Jinzhou.
Dai Shan and others nodded silently as they listened to Huang Taiji's words. Indeed, the Ming army is not deep enough, and they also need time to deploy troops.
Huang Taiji saw that the expressions of the people relaxed, and nodded imperceptibly, then glanced at Fan Wenchen and began to make arrangements.
One is to strengthen the surveillance of the Ming army, the second is to purge the army, and the third is to raise grain and grass.
After saying this, Huang Taiji calmed down a few more words before dismissing the crowd, leaving only Fan Wenchen.
Huang Taiji looked at the south, and said emotionally: "At that time, Zhou Zhengyun, Ben Khan felt that he was a talent when he first met. This is only seven years, and it has become a big problem for my Daikin. This shows that Ben Khan's vision is as usual. it is good."
Fan Wenchen listened to Huang Taiji's self-deprecating words without speaking.
He still remembered that when Zhou Zheng came to Shenyang as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to condole Nurhaci, they had a conversation.
Back then, he felt that this son was extraordinary, but he didn't expect that he would repeatedly bad the national fortune of the gold, so that he became a confidant.
Huang Taiji sighed twice, turned his head to look at Fan Wenchen, and said lightly: "Is there any way to get rid of him?"
Fan Wenchen hurriedly said: "Don't worry if you sweat, according to the virtues of the Ming court, Zhou Zhengyun will never escape this time!"
Huang Taiji was startled and said, "To be specific."
Fan Wenchen showed a smile on his face and said: "Khan also knows that the Ming Dynasty is used to killing heroes, but whoever has merit will never end well! Weichen guessed that now the Ming Dynasty court is probably already impeaching Zhou Zheng, and it will not be long. He will go to jail."
Huang Taiji naturally understands the virtues of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the far-reaching ones, just the fate of Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Chengzong can be seen.
Huang Taiji listened, nodded lightly, a comfortable smile appeared on his face, and then faintly said: "What I said just now was just to appease Daishan and others. You said, what should we do now?"
Fan Wenchen understood what Huang Taiji meant, and started to think silently.
Although the state of the Jin Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty were very different during the Wanli period, the Kingdom of Jin is now established, with a capital, and hundreds of thousands of people.
In the current state of Jin, there are too few people in the land and there are too many to take care of. It is impossible for the whole country to deal with the Ming Dynasty all the way, regardless of Shenyang.
What's more, their current total strength is only 40,000, and they cannot be forced into a bloody battle by the Ming Dynasty like Youtun.
There is another point, that is, food and grass!
In other words, the army of the Ming Dynasty did not enter Shenyang, but confronted them, consumed food and grass, and the Kingdom of Jin could not last long!
Fan Wenchen raised his head to look at Huang Taiji, and said in a deep voice: "Dai Khan, Weichen thinks that my Great Golden State has come to life and death. Some things must be postponed."
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wenchen with a cold face.
He knew what Fan Wenchen was talking about.
Huang Taiji has followed the Ming Dynasty reforms in recent years and is preparing to change the country's title next year and formally establish the country.
This'founding country' is different from Nurhachi's'founding a country'. Huang Taiji wants to establish a real dynasty that can stand side by side with the Ming Dynasty, not a small country!
Fan Wenchen looked at Huang Taiji and didn't say more.
The successive defeats of the Kingdom of Jin have severely dampened the strength of the Kingdom of Jin. Not to mention the natural disasters, but the current situation alone made it difficult for the Kingdom of Jin to deal with it.
If the country’s title is changed according to the plan, it might be even more stimulating to the Ming dynasty and the army will come to discuss it. Even if the country can win, it will inevitably be hit hard again. .
Fan Wenchen didn't speak, because he believed that Huang Taiji was the hero, and he knew how to judge the situation, and he knew how to advance and retreat.
Huang Taiji stared at Fan Wenchen indifferently for a long time, and finally said indifferently: "Ben Khan knows. Sir, go to raise grain and grass, Rong Ben Khan think again."
Fan Wenchen knew that Huang Taiji couldn't decide for a while, and he stood up and said, "It's a sweat."
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wenchen's back, his indifferent expression turned ugly, and he pushed down the tea cup beside him and smashed it to the ground.
As soon as Fan Wenchen left the house, he heard the movement behind his back, looked back, sighed in his heart, and continued to move forward.
When Jin Guo was thinking about countermeasures, news of Zhou Zheng's victory in Lushun also spread to the capital, and all kinds of voices were raging.
However, the two most prominent voices were the first one, asking the imperial court to order the governor of Denglai and the governor of Liaodong to march into Shenyang with all his strength and destroy Jianli.
That is, Zhou Zheng and Ouyang Sheng, governor of Liaodong.
The second voice impeached Zhou Zheng.
They asked the court to thoroughly investigate Zhou Zheng's many problems. One was the issue of soldiers. Where did Zhou come from the 50,000 army? Where is the money to feed? There are also nearly a hundred cannons, which are millions of taels of silver! The second is whether Zhou Zheng's actions were approved by the Ministry of War, especially for such important things as giving up and burning Lushun. Third, I suspect that Zhou Zheng’s success in this battle, and some people suspect that fraud is so easy for Jianlu to deal with? Some people even suspect that Zhou Zheng colluded with Jianluo, and that his money came from Jianluo!
Other scattered ones include the impeachment of Zhou Zheng, saying that his relationship with the salt merchants is unclear; Zhou Zheng regarded Yongping Mansion and Hejian Mansion as his own reserved land and became the emperor of the earth; supporting his soldiers and taking credit and pride; Gui, Zhao Zhijiao is equivalent to a private party';'Killing the generals without permission, Shang Kexi and others';'Slowly the King of Korea', etc.
Suddenly, the ruling and the opposition forces were violent, and the undercurrents were raging around Zhou Zhengzheng.
At the beginning of August, Jin's delegation for peace arrived in Liaodong. The imperial court decreed Liaodong and Denglai, ordering all armies to stop marching north, and to shrink defenses.
On August 12, the imperial envoy arrived in Lushun and invited Zhouzheng to enter Beijing to'discuss salary'.
The city of Lushun is under restoration. Guanyali, Meng Hezhou, Sun Chuanting, Huang Long, Jin Guoqi, He Kegang and others are all present.
Looking at the imperial decree on Zhou Zheng's table, each one looked solemn and remained silent for a long time.
Zhou Zheng looked calm and smiled and said: "Why don't you speak anymore? Shouldn't we be happy when the court pays the army?"
Jin Guoqi had not been under Zhou Zheng's account for a long time, but he admired Zhou Zheng very much. He moved his expression and said, "My lord, don't go. Remember Yuan Gong?"
Yuan Gong, Yuan Chonghuan. In the second year of Chongzhen, he was deceived into the palace under the name of "Yi Shi", and was finally executed by Ling Chi.
It can be said that when the Ming court wanted to deal with the generals who held heavy arms outside, they often defrauded them to leave the station in the name of'discussion on wages' and then arrested them.
This is an old routine, and it is commonplace for generals in high positions.
He Kegang also said: "My lord, it's better to pretend to be sick. When the limelight passes, you can write a letter to ask for guilt."
Others also said one after another, asking Zhou Zheng not to go back, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to be kind.
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "The court wants me to receive the reward. There are so many things. You don't have to worry about it. There is really no guilt. I will fight it alone. It will be your credit. This time Jianlu A big defeat will not give up easily. The negotiation is just a delay. You send a small number of troops to occupy the cities of the Liaodong Peninsula and closely monitor the construction of the captives. If it strikes, you will retreat to Lushun and Phi Island and stick to it. I will enter Beijing tomorrow. No need to think too much about this job."
Everyone wanted to persuade again, Zhou Zheng said directly: "Go all, there are so many things, don't waste time."
Seeing that Zhou Zhengyi had decided, they had no choice but to raise their hands and leave.
In the lobby, only Zhou Zheng, Sun Chuanting, and Meng Hezhou were left.
Sun Chuanting glanced at Meng Hezhou, knowing that he was a confidant who had followed Zhou Zheng for many years, so he didn't hide it, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, did you expect today before this battle?"
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "You also want to persuade me not to enter Beijing?"
Sun Chuanting smiled, and said: "Since the adults have already anticipated, they must respond to it. How can the subordinates persuade him again."
Zhou Zheng also laughed, looking towards the capital, and said: "I am going to be in prison, but I will not die. I will arrange all other things, and I will leave the rest to you. ."
Meng Hezhou was still very worried and said, "My lord, you also know the situation in the capital. Can you really get out of it?"
The power of the supervisors is too terrible. If everyone speaks, the emperor will surely be suspicious. As long as the emperor is suspicious, Zhou Zheng will definitely have no way to survive.
Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said calmly, "Well, it's okay."
Meng Hezhou and Sun Chuanting looked at each other, and did not persuade.
They are still very worried, the court used to kill heroes, can Zhou Zheng escape
On the second day, Zhou Zheng set off from Lushun, first went to Dengzhou, and then to Tianjin Wei. He arranged a series of matters. On August 20, he arrived in Beijing alone. Before entering the palace gate, he was taken by Jin Yiwei and sent directly. Entered the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Zhou Zheng was sent to prison, and the ruling and opposition parties exploded. I don't know how many memorials flew into the General Secretary.
The ruling and the opposition moved endlessly, and the Shilin was upset.
Zhou Mansion.
Shangguanqing held up his belly, pursed his mouth, and looked at Zhou Qingli with a worried expression on his face.
Zhou Ding supported Shangguanqing, and looked at Zhou Qingli worriedly and said: "Father, think of a way, second uncle can't be okay, Shangguan is still pregnant with a child..."
Zhou Jingyuan and Zhou Deshou, the two little guys pulling on Zhou Qingli's clothes, were also talking vigorously, with tears in their small faces.
"Grandpa, save the second uncle, we miss the second uncle..."
"Grandpa, the second uncle is a good person, and the prisoners are all bad people. You must save the second uncle..."
Zhou Qingli's heart was heavy, but she smiled on her face and said, "Have you read Zhengyun's letter? He said it's all right if it's okay. I walked around a while ago and didn't say to ask for serious crimes. I tried to clear it. , Will come out soon."
Although Shangguanqing was worried, he leaned forward and said, "Thank you, father."
Zhou Qingli looked at Shangguanqing, and calmly said, "Don't worry too much, Zhengyun has always acted safely, with his own plan, peace of mind to raise the fetus, so he should worry."
Shangguan Qing hummed softly, without much embarrassment for Zhou Qingli, turned and left.
Zhou Ding was worried, and quickly followed.
Zhou Qingli looked at the backs of several people, her heart still heavy.
This time, unlike the past, Zhou Zheng's identity is different, and his credit is different. Also, the first assistant is not Zhou Yanru.
'Can you survive this disaster? 'Zhou Qingli said to herself, he had no bottom.
The current voices of the ruling and opposition parties, without Ping Liao, are almost unanimously impeaching Zhou Zheng, dug up his various old bottoms, seemingly true and false, and presented them to Chongzhen's desk. (End of this chapter)
