- The two sides continued to fight like this day by day. From a military point of view, the Hou Jin and Mongolian armies penetrated deep into the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Logistics and supplies mainly relied on looting. The advantage was to fight quickly. Staying in one place for such a long time would make the troops stronger. Staying under the city is not the best option anyway.
Even an old scholar on the streets of the Ming Dynasty could probably see this. The military commanders of both the Ming and Jin sides must have known better. It stands to reason that the commanders of both sides should try their best to avoid this situation from happening - the Ming Dynasty was their own The core areas of China are being ravaged and must be avoided. As for Hou Jin, although the field battle was unparalleled, if it took a long time, the reinforcements from the surrounding areas of Ming Dynasty would eventually gather slowly. And the longer time goes by, the more difficult it will be for the Hou Jin Army to supply food - there will be no second crop of food on the ground that has been robbed once. What the Jinmeng coalition forces are now consuming is the loot they could have brought back, which is not cost-effective even for bandits.
However, what is happening is contrary to common sense - there has been no movement from both sides. There was nothing the Ming Dynasty could do. Their army was not mobilizing well, their own army was dragging its feet, and the short-haired foreign aid only acted at its own pace. It was useless even if the center jumped in a hurry.
But Huang Taiji's side is even more interesting - after detaching three groups of troops to plunder and harass, the main force he led was always located near Juyongguan. In addition to sending troops to attack the neighboring Bohai Sea and Sihai two offices in one fell swoop, Guancheng , after controlling the army's retreat path beyond the Great Wall, they never moved again. His army always maintained the posture of a tiger sitting on the mountain, watching everything happening in the Gyeonggi area from a distance, but did not personally intervene. Even if his close subordinates began to complain because they had no income from robbery, he ignored them.
Such calmness does not seem like the behavior of the attacking side, but rather like the defensive side, waiting for the enemy to reveal a flaw - of course this enemy is not the Ming army town that is already at a loss and full of flaws, but can only come from afar, Qiong Haijun was truly the greatest enemy of the Later Jin Dynasty.
…………
"Judging from the current situation, we and the Later Jin Army are actually fighting on the outside - the Ming Dynasty's territory is not considered our homeland. In terms of intelligence, logistical supplies, or transportation routes, we are actually no better than the Later Jin Army. More dominant.”
Looking at the blue flag representing the post-Jin army's forces on the sand table map in front of them, Pang Yu and Xi both had a bit of worry on their faces - North Latitude had already sent back the first telegram, roughly confirming the number of troops on the other side. horse position.
Among them, Dorgon, Azige, and Yue Tuo are still running around. The small military flags representing them have been moved several times, but the main position of Huang Taiji has always been inserted near Juyong Pass, motionless.
"That old guy is very cautious. Nearly 20,000 troops stayed in that area and didn't move. Northern Latitude tried to attack him several times but never found a chance."
Jie Xi communicated several times with Beiwei through telegrams and learned that he had tried to sneak into the Jin Army to launch an assassination operation. I originally thought that since it was a Manchu-Mongolian coalition and the soldiers and horses on both sides were unfamiliar with each other, it would be easy to find a gap to dress up as Mongolians. However, unexpectedly, Huang Taiji was very strict in managing the army. Even the Mongolian soldiers and horses were controlled obediently and patrolled. The security guard is tight. Beiwei took action personally. He tried several times but failed to get in. Instead, he was almost exposed.
So now he can only temporarily give up the idea of ????assassination and gather information with peace of mind.
"How about joining the other three groups? Those three groups are busy robbing, so it should be easier to succeed."
"I said the same thing, but Beiwei believes that this kind of thing can only be done once. Once the opponent is prepared, it is difficult to do it again. And no matter Dorgon, Azig or Yue Tuo, they are not good targets. Those Mongolians This is especially true for Taiji people.”
"Isn't Dorgon worth killing?"
Pang Yu said doubtfully, while Xie Xi shrugged:
"Beiwei feels that he is just a Baylor now, and his status is not as high as Azig. Killing him will only cost Hou Jin a senior general. In the long run, it may help Hou Jin solve a hidden danger and make the Eight Banners nobles give up. Unite under the Huang Taiji family - there is no need to take this risk at this stage."
Pang Yu nodded and said no more. The two of them continued to deduce their next plan:
"Looking at their posture, they seem to be waiting for us to attack?"
"It should be that they have a lot of cavalry, superior mobility, and have the initiative to choose fighter planes."
"Hmph, Huang Taiji is as steady as an old dog. They are obviously guest troops, but they actually put on a posture of waiting for work How about we just stay in the fortress and don't show up? Anyway, no matter whether it is Hou Jin or Mongolia, siege is absolutely difficult. .According to the battle report from Beijing, hundreds of Xu Lei’s men have all been transferred to sniper positions in the past few days. It is said that the Hou Jin soldiers did not dare to approach the city wall after the fight. Regardless of the Hou Jin or Mongolia, do something with them No."
——Don’t look at Jie Xi’s always bluffing and reckless appearance outside, in fact, this guy has a lot of tricks on his mind, and he will never save face when he needs to be vulgar. Faced with his "cowardly" suggestion, Pang Yu thought seriously for a moment, but still shook his head:
"I'm afraid Beijing won't be able to hold on for that long. It's the time when food from the south is entering Beijing. There is no shortage of food in the city because a large amount of grain has just arrived in the warehouse. But then it was interrupted, and most of the grain from the ship was backlogged in Shandong. It’s not obvious yet, but if it continues to be delayed, the food problem will become Beijing’s Achilles’ heel.”
Hearing this, Jie Xi looked at the map for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly:
"Then there is nothing we can do. Just wait for the reinforcements from the rear to come, and then find a suitable time and place to fight them."
So next, their task is still to wait for reinforcements to arrive from the sea. However, before that, another group of troops arrived in Tianjin first and came directly to them.
…………
"Five hundred Liao Town cavalry, the leader is Wu Sangui? What is he doing here?"
When the message came from the sentry post that "Wu Sangui, the general of the right battalion of Liaodong Town's forward, requested to meet", both Jie Xi and Pang Yu had confused expressions on their faces.
"Shouldn't he be looking for his father at this time? How did he find Tianjin? And he should contact Wang Pu here. What's the point of Liao Town military generals coming to Qiong Town to contact them? He dislikes those censors in the capital. Do you have nothing to do for us?"
They both said so, but since they were here, they couldn't say no, so they had to change their clothes and go to the meeting.
Although it was not the first time they met, Pang Yu would always feel a faint sense of jealousy every time he saw Wu Sangui - that boy was only twenty-three years old this year, and he was in the best years of his life. He is tall, has a dignified appearance, and his face does not look like a villain. In movies, he will definitely only be able to play tall and tall male protagonists - such a person will eventually become a notorious traitor in history. It is really Unbelievable.
Wu Sangui's etiquette was very thorough. After entering the door, he paid homage with a big ceremony - even though his official position was nominally the same as that of a general.
"Wu Sangui pays homage to the military sect, Military Advisor Pang."
"Please get up, why is General Xiao Wu here?"
Without any nonsense, not even bothering to say greetings, Jie Xi directly asked him the reason for his visit - in front of Wu Sangui, a historical celebrity, Jie Xi did not want to play tricks. He knew very well what the future King of the Qing Dynasty and the West was capable of. , playing tricks with the other party is definitely not an opponent.
But Wu Sangui certainly doesn't know how "brilliant" he will be in the future. In front of these two short-haired leaders, he naturally puts himself in a relatively low position - both in terms of personal ability and the army behind him. , he thought to himself that he was far worse than these two.
So after hearing Xie Xi’s question, General Xiao Wu first showed a wry smile on his face, and then he walked to the ground and gave a heavier gift than before:
"To be honest, I came down here to ask the gentlemen of Qiongzhen for help - the lives of my father and son, as well as the life of Commander You Shiweiyou, are all in your hands!"
Next, after spending some time, Jie and Pang finally figured out Wu Sangui’s purpose.
He was ordered to come out to find his father - Master Zonglong, the governor of Jiliao, had earlier sent Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief You Shiwei and Ningyuan Regiment Training Commander Wu Xiang to lead their elite troops to help Beijing. However, these two men have never shown up. The capital was urging urgently, and Fu Zonglong was also confused, so he had to send Xiao Wu out again to let him find his father and continue to perform the tasks assigned by his superiors.
But Wu Sangui understood in his heart - of course his father could not have lost his way. In fact, Wu Xiang was engaged in horse trafficking in his early years and knew the geography of the capital well. Otherwise, he would not have led thousands of people to disappear in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. He was so hidden that even the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty couldn't find him - he had been hiding somewhere.
Wu Sangui quickly got in touch with his father after entering Shanhaiguan, but this does not mean that he will carry out the task assigned to him by Governor Fu - to urge You Shiwei and Wu Xiang to fight the Tatars? That was purely courting death. The Wu family fought many times with the Hou Jin Army in Liaodong. They knew the power of Huang Taiji best and would not seek death.
But it's not possible to delay it like this. In fact, right now, You and Wu have disobeyed military orders, and the crime of "escaping from battle" has been perfectly pinned on them. As long as the court survives the current difficulties, they will definitely be found later. They settle accounts.
Wu Xiang said that he had no choice but to avoid the immediate dead situation and then find a way to eliminate the charges later. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty can only rely on Liao Town in the Northeast. No matter how hard it is to blame,Punishment and demotion will always end up with the tail of "seeking the consequences for committing a crime". As long as you don't be regarded as a chicken that is killed to make a warning to others, you can always get away with it.
"It really doesn't work out. As long as I can save my life, I can go back to my hometown in Gaoyou and become a rich man."
This is Wu Xiang’s idea, but Wu Sangui is not so negative. He still has lofty ideals and ambitions. How can he give up his great future for this mere setback? After communicating with his father's messenger, he turned around and headed towards Tianjin with five hundred fine horses.
Find Qiong Haijun and salute Jie Xi and Pang Yu respectfully, just to say this:
