Text Chapter 1484 Siege of Shengjing

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since they received a request for help from Shengjing and an order and decree requiring the 150,000-strong army to return from the expedition, these Manchu nobles who were vying for power immediately gathered together to discuss their opinions after receiving the decree.

    To be honest, the decree has stated that the threat comes from Jincheng.

    And the power of the Song Dynasty represented by Jincheng is what they are least willing to face.

    You must know that in the war against Jincheng for more than a year, Zhao Hongyu has demonstrated the power of the Song Empire and caused considerable losses to the Eight Banners.

    These nobles and governors have all suffered losses from Zhao Hongyu to a greater or lesser extent.

    It is precisely because of this that they all know how much they will pay for fighting the Song Empire represented by Jincheng.

    This is not like bullying the weak Koryo people. It would be great if the Song Emperor team in Jincheng did not come to bully their Eight Banners. It would be their turn to bully the Song people in Jincheng.

    So, now they are leading an army of 150,000 to conquer Goryeo Jincheng and take the opportunity to attack Houjin.  The troops left behind by the Jin Dynasty were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and could not resist the invasion of the Song army.

    And even if they return to the army, can they really resist?

    ?Obviously this is unlikely.

    Because they had fought with the Song people, everyone knew about this.

    So, we all need to have a serious discussion about whether to go back or not.

    You must know that the 150,000 banner troops they led are already the only elites left in Houjin.

    In other words, these people who invaded Goryeo took away the last military power of Hou Jin.  If they were a little selfish, they could completely rely on this military power to start anew, avoid Jincheng's edge, and at the same time get rid of Huang Taiji's suppression and oppression.

    And it just so happened that among the people who went out with the army, there were people with this idea.

    Dorgon and Duoduo.  As well as the distinguished generals they have attracted during this time, there are many members.

    They are all people who are dissatisfied with Huang Taiji as emperor, and are dissatisfied with the declining power of the Jin Dynasty.

    Therefore, this discussion took a lot of time, and in the end there was no result.

    And this kind of time-consuming negotiation eventually ruined Hou Jin, and also allowed Dorgon, Duoduo and those who were equally ambitious like them to see opportunities.

    Yes, it was on the third day of their discussion.  Bad news from Shengjing was delivered.

    Daishan rebelled and defected to the Song people, and half of the 120,000 troops under his command who stayed behind in Hou Jin chose to follow Daishan and join the Song people.

    Most of the remaining half of the army chose to escape from the areas controlled by Houjin and fled into the Mongolian grassland areas and the forest sea further north.

    Only a small part of the army belonging to Huang Taiji's line retreated to Shengjing, the capital established by Hou Jin, to make a desperate struggle.

    At this time, after receiving the news, Dorgon and the others knew very well that Houjin was doomed.

    Daishan¡¯s betrayal and the choice of the army.  It will definitely cause a split in the Houjin Eight Banners.  And those who chose to fight against the Song people were just struggling to their death.

    How could they possibly resist the Song Dynasty¡¯s firearms?

    Even if it is to defend the city, it will not work.

    The small artillery in the Song army was more powerful than the red cannons of the Ming Dynasty.  Conquering cities and territories is a piece of cake.

    Therefore, Dorgon and the others were very unfavorable about the news that they were preparing to fight to the death in Shengjing City.

    So, they feel.  It is certain that the city of Shengjing will be destroyed.

    So even if they return to the army now, it will not help.

    Besides, Dorgon and the others.  I also had some other thoughts.

    For them, it is of course a huge bad thing that Houjin ceases to exist, but they can't change anything about it.

    Then, we can only try our best to find an opportunity based on the destruction of Houjin.

    Dorgon¡¯s consideration was that since they had 150,000 troops, why not simply occupy the Kingdom of Koryo.  Not to mention occupying the entire Goryeo Kingdom, even a few cities are possible.

    ??????????????????? This way they can be regarded as having a place where they can recuperate after the Houjin ceases to exist.

    At the same time, after Houjin was destroyed, the Eight Banners people knew that there was still an Eight Banners force in Goryeo, and they would definitely defect to it.

    By then, wouldn¡¯t they be able to continue the Eight Banners?

    ¡°Besides, Goryeo is far away from Jincheng, so??It's very close to Jincheng like Shengjing.

    Then, I think there will be less threats.

    In this way, Dorgon convinced the nobles and commanders who went on the expedition to accept his idea.

    After all, the back money cannot be guaranteed.

    People like them, why not find a way out for themselves.

    Even if Koryo¡¯s plan cannot be realized, Dorgon has another consideration, which is to lead his army to retreat further north.

    As long as there are people, survival is not a problem.

    In two days, Zhao Hongyu led his army to besiege Shengjing. Dai Shan led more than 60,000 troops to surrender. Zhao Hongyu led his army to the city of Shengjing without encountering any resistance at all.

    After Daishan led his army to surrender, Zhao Hongyu immediately issued a batch of Fushou ointment. Of course, the added Fushou ointment was rewarded to Daishan and the troops who followed him to surrender.

    Regarding Zhao Hongyu's approach, those old and weak soldiers of the Eight Banners who chose to follow Daishan to surrender were all very happy and quickly accepted this reality.

    If it were in the past, it would be very difficult to conquer these people.

    ¡°However, when these people have become addicted to Fushou Ointment, their current reactions are not surprising.

    They have forgotten all about the different ethnic groups and the hatred of the country. At this moment, the only thing they can see in their eyes is the longevity ointment that can bring them the illusion of ecstasy.

    "As long as they can provide longevity ointment, they will sacrifice their lives for whomever. After all, selling one's life to someone is not selling one's life.

    Thinking about it, even if they work for the masters of the same clan, their lives will still be poor.

    "But if you work for the foreign Song people, you can at least give them longevity medicine."

    Zhao Hongyu knew very clearly the mentality of these people through the political commissars, so he announced that Fu Shou Ointment would be provided free of charge and would be distributed to them every day.

    As long as they can serve the Song Empire well.  Then Zhao Hongyu will definitely take care of enough to provide them with this guarantee.

    Through this incident, the more than 60,000 Eight Banners old and weak people who chose to follow Daishan to surrender immediately became completely loyal to the Song Empire.

    Free supply of Fushou ointment, where can I find such a good thing?

    At this time, they no longer think about any ethnic origin or country.

    Only Fushou ointment is the most important.

    I have to say that the difference between the thoughts of these addicts and normal people is really big.

    "What these people don't understand is that the mastermind behind this addiction is the master of Americaso.  It's quite sad to think about these people.

    It¡¯s just that Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t pity them. As long as he thinks about the killings they caused to the people of Ming Dynasty in the past few years when they were glorious, Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t pity them at all.

    Therefore, Zhao Hongyu had no psychological burden when using them as cannon fodder.

    It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hongyu used Daishan and the tens of thousands of old and weak troops who surrendered to the main force that surrounded Shengjing.

    I have to say is.  This really disgusted Huang Taiji, and made this famous Manchu emperor in another time and space angry to death.

    Yes, it¡¯s really annoying.

    Huang Taiji, who was lingering on the hospital bed, was already seriously ill and had been holding on.

    When he learned that Daishan did not make any resistance.  At the same time, when half of the 120,000 troops chose to surrender with him, a mouthful of old blood spurted out and they died.

    So far, the people in Shengjing City have been in panic all day long.  At the same time, there is a situation where everyone is leaderless.

    But no matter what, resistance is still necessary.

    After all, none of them know.  What methods would the Song people use to deal with them after the city of Shengjing was destroyed?

    After all, if you think about what they did after the Manchus invaded the Ming Dynasty and broke into the Ming Dynasty city a few years ago, the faces of those in Shengjing City are very exciting.

    ¡°Maybe, cause and effect reincarnate, this time it will be their turn.

    "Everyone in the city, listen, our master said, as long as you open the door and surrender, our master will forget the past. If you persist in your stubbornness, there will be no chickens or dogs left after the city is broken!"

    The man standing at the foot of Shengjing City shouting was a selected Manchu with a loud voice, and he also spoke in Manchu.

    Once upon a time, they all used to say this kind of thing to others, but now the situation has changed and they have becomePublic.

    The defenders at the top of the city all felt unhappy.

    However, the situation is stronger than the people, and there is nothing they can do when the army is besieging the city.

    After Huang Taiji died, most of the concubines in the harem chose to commit suicide because they knew that Huang Taiji had offended too many people. Women like them would basically not end well in the future if they did not choose this path.

    What's more, now that the army is besieging the city outside the city, what will happen to them once the city is broken?

    And some Manchu nobles in the city have been constantly discussing over the past two days whether to resist or surrender.

    With Huang Taiji dead, they lost a leader, and none of the remaining people could convince the public, so facing this situation, they were really powerless.

    Zhao Hongyu outside the city looked like an old god, and he looked like he was sure of victory.

    Because he knew that Hou Jin no longer had the power to resist.

    Even if the 150,000 troops sent out to return to support, it would be impossible to avoid their fate of destruction.

    This morning, after sending people to the city to shout as usual, Daishan came to Zhao Hongyu's tent.

    "Your Highness, the people over in Shengjing still haven't responded. Do you think we should show them how powerful we are?" Daishan's words had an obvious meaning, that is, he was asking if we were going to start attacking the city.

    Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t think so about this.

    He waved his hand and said: "Wait a minute, I think they will make a choice within two days. Don't forget, after we besieged the city, the source of Fushou Ointment was cut off."

    Being reminded by Zhao Hongyu, Daishan immediately thought of this issue.

    Yes, if the army besieges the city, the source of Fushou ointment in Shengjing City will be cut off.

    So, how long can these people in the city hold up?

    Daishan has personally experienced the feeling of being addicted to Fushou Ointment.

    Thinking about it, all it takes is the addiction.  There is no need for the nobles above to nod. The soldiers guarding the city will naturally know what to do.

    "Go, select a group of people and go to the city to take the medicine. Let the defenders in the city watch. I don't believe they can bear it! At the same time, tell the people who shouted that anyone who surrenders can join the Manchu Army for free.  Take care of the longevity ointment.¡±

    Zhao Hongyu took a sip of coffee and gave Daishan instructions with a relaxed expression.

    "†ø!"

    Daishan left in response, and Li Zicheng, who was sitting beside him, said: "I didn't expect that the Manchus, who are rumored to be so fierce, could not help but fight. To be defeated by Your Highness like this is really beyond my imagination."

    Yes, the army encountered no resistance along the way.

    Even if there was sporadic resistance, it was nothing more than a mantis trying to act as a chariot, and it was quickly resolved.

    Therefore, Li Zicheng had never seen the crazy energy of the Manchus.

    In this regard, Zhao Hongyu was too lazy to explain anything. After all, it was such a relaxed situation today.  That has been a plan for more than a year.

    At the same time, without the Fu Shou Ointment, Hou Jin¡¯s combat power would not have collapsed so much.

    And since Jincheng has been stationed for more than a year, it has continuously weakened Houjin's military strength through small-scale battles.  These are all factors that have led to today's situation.

    Not to mention the role of Daishan, the great spy of the Later Jin Dynasty.

    Of course, Li Zicheng didn¡¯t know this, and Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t bother to talk about it.

    "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. I will let you see the power of our army. There won't be any big battles here in Shengjing, but don't forget that there is Hou Jinshi on the Goryeo side.  There are 50,000 elite troops.¡±

    I heard what Zhao Hongyu said.  Li Zicheng thought of something.

    ¡°Your Highness, you mean that after destroying Hou Jin¡¯s capital, we will also pursue and suppress the 150,000 elite troops of Hou Jin who went to Goryeo?¡±

    Zhao Hongyu nodded and said: "Of course, if we want to fight, we must kill them. Keeping these 150,000 Houjin troops is a hidden danger. God knows whether they can turn over, but if they really do  If I stand up, wouldn't it be very troublesome for me? It wouldn't be good for the Ming Dynasty's Northern Territory either."

    Li Zicheng thought about it, Zhao Hongyu was right.

    ???????????????????????????????????? The other country¡¯s capital is about to be destroyed, which means that there won¡¯t be many years left to build the country, so it¡¯s doomed.

    So, of course, it is impossible for the 150,000 troops to go to Goryeo to continue to exist.

    After all, 150,000 soldiers and horses can be considered a considerable military force. I wonder if Hou Jin will really use this to turn over the enemy.Where is the body?

    Of course, there is something else that Zhao Hongyu did not say, that is, if these 150,000 Hou Jin troops are left alive and not destroyed, once they have a place to stay, the Manchus who survived after the fall of Hou Jin will definitely come over.  .

    When they gather to a certain number, it is certain that the country will be restored.

    So, with this consideration in mind, Zhao Hongyu certainly would not leave them alone.

    At this time, Daishan was reminded by Zhao Hongyu and sent a team to Shengjing City. They began to pick up the utensils for smoking Fushou ointment and placed them on the ground, and began to enjoy it.

    This made the Shengjing garrison stationed at the top of the city see it in their eyes, and they felt really uncomfortable.

    Because as Zhao Hongyu guessed, the Shengjing defenders had begun to become addicted.

    So at this time, the attraction to them can be imagined by the scenes of people enjoying life-longevity drugs in public in the city.

    Especially when some of them are addicted, the temptation is not that small.

    The feeling of being gnawed through the body like thousands of ants and the bones being gnawed by millions of insects surged through the body, while below the city a group of people were enjoying themselves while puffing away clouds of smoke.

    Comparing two and one, grandma, whether the enemy is not the enemy, Fushou Ointment is better Such an idea flashed through the minds of many addicted defenders.

    "Brothers at Chengtou, we are all descendants of the Eight Banners. What can't we say? Our master has said that if any brothers who choose to surrender join us in the future, they will take enough medicine every day without needing a penny from you!  As long as you choose to surrender, is there anything better than this condition"

    Among the people below who were enjoying Fushou Ointment, someone stood up at this time and continued to shout to the city.

    And among the Eight Banners soldiers stationed at the top of the city, many of the addicted people were really moved.  (To be continued)
