Chapter 145 Hong Chengchou’s poisonous plan

Chapter 145 Hong Chengchou’s poisonous plan
Emperor Chongzhen also told Fan Jingwen the results of the battle, and then asked the doctor he brought to quickly treat the wounded.

Emperor Chongzhen also attached great importance to this point.For this reason, he did not even bother to rest and personally inspected the treatment situation.

The blood on his body had dried, but he didn't let anyone wipe it off.On the surface, it seems like he doesn't have time and can't take care of this, but in fact, it's a sign of a bloody battle!
No, he felt very comfortable when he saw the shocked expressions of Fan Jingwen, Tang Tong and others when they saw his bloodstained body several times.

When he was patrolling everywhere, whether it was his soldiers or those who came to the battlefield for treatment, they were all shocked at the first moment. He saw them all one by one, and he was very happy in his heart.

After this battle, there will be a lot more armor ordnance in the army, and the armor wearing rate of the entire army will be further improved, which will help to improve the army's combat effectiveness.

Fan Jingwen walked with the emperor on the battlefield. Looking at everything on the battlefield, he suddenly became confused and asked Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, why are some soldiers wearing Jianlu uniforms and... having their hair cut?"

The emperor hired a monk to pretend to be a prisoner and launched a surprise attack?Or there was another possibility, but he felt it was unlikely.

Although he had already heard about the battle of Xuanfu when he was in the capital, Jianlu had to die, and he had to surrender.However, in his impression, the original Ningyuan victory only captured one Jianlu.Therefore, when he saw so many bald heads on this battlefield, he did not dare to think in that direction.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at him and said with a smile: "They all submitted to the imperial court after the Battle of Xuanfu. This battle has proved their determination to submit. I promised them that they can enter the Beijing camp. You can also go home.”

Hearing these words confirmed the fact that today is different from the past, and Fan Jingwen couldn't help but feel even more excited.Sure enough, after the emperor led the army, he not only won successive battles, but also was able to inspire the ferocious Jianlu to be used by the emperor. It is not impossible for the world to be peaceful!

Thinking of this, he became more and more respectful when he accompanied the emperor on his inspection tour.

The surrendered pawns immediately cut off the pig tails on their heads with swords, daggers and other objects after the war.Even a bald head is better than having this pig tail.However, the injured pawns could not do it immediately, and they could not even do it themselves, so they could only seek help from their companions.

When Emperor Chongzhen inspected the wounded soldiers, he saw a few who could not move on their own and were being shaved by their companions.

What surprised him a little was that on the side of the fallen soldiers, he saw both Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming here, looking for their men to get haircuts.Seeing the emperor passing by, Kong Youde quickly explained: "It was agreed before the war that the pig's tail must be removed even after death."

Emperor Chongzhen listened and nodded in understanding.If possible, how could the Chinese people be willing to have barbarian hairstyles!

He told the two people in front of him: "The names, place of birth and other information of these soldiers who died in the battle have been sorted out and handed over. They also served the country loyally and should be loyal to the Martyrs Hall."

Geng Zhongming was stunned after hearing this. He didn't know what Zhonglie Hall was, but Kong Youde had heard of it.He didn't expect that these people who died in the first battle after surrendering to the imperial court would be able to enter the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs. His eyes immediately turned red and he kowtowed to express gratitude.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say much, just nodded and continued to inspect other places.

As soon as he left, Geng Zhongming quickly asked about the situation. After knowing the situation, he couldn't help but look at the emperor's back and murmured to himself: "In the past, it was really impossible to believe that a person could change like this even to death. So big!"

Kong Youde listened and nodded with emotion: "Yes, who would have thought of it!"

........................

By the time it was almost evening, the battlefield had been dealt with, and the entire army returned to the capital to rest.

By the time we arrived in the capital, it was already dark.

If it were in the past, the capital would have been very deserted at this time, and every household would be hiding at home waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.The only movement that could be heard was the patrolling soldiers.

However, on this day, the gates of the capital were opened wide and even the curfew was lifted.The army made a triumphant return from Andingmen. On both sides of Andingmen Street, behind the soldiers holding torches, were all the people from the capital who had come after hearing the news.

The queen and the prince led the civil and military officials to greet him outside Anding Gate.

Under the firelight, when Empress Zhou saw Emperor Chongzhen's armor, she thought at first that the emperor had changed his armor. However, when she got closer, she smelled the strong smell of blood. Only then did she realize that the red color on the emperor's armor was not from his change of armor. The reason is that it is all stained with blood.

Suddenly, Empress Zhou was shocked. She didn't care about being in front of civil and military officials, and she didn't care about etiquette. She immediately reached out to support the emperor's shoulders and asked with a worried look: "Your Majesty, where are you injured?"

It has been more than half a year since I led the army to the capital for battle. I have fought many battles, big and small, and even fought two battles with Jianlu, and even singled out others. It seems reasonable for him to be injured.However, she was always very worried when the emperor was injured.Even though the emperor seemed fine at this moment, she was still worried.

Her fussy exclamation immediately attracted the attention of others, making them all understand that the red color on the emperor's armor was not paint, but blood.

Suddenly, they were all shocked.

This armor is basically stained with blood. How many injuries must be sustained to have such a result?

"Father?"

"His Majesty?"

When the people on both sides heard this, they were all shocked and looked at it in disbelief.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Empress Zhou who was very worried about him, and immediately smiled and said: "I am not injured, it is all the blood of Jianlu!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Zhou couldn't believe it. She touched her left hand and looked at her right hand. There was blood on her hands, but she didn't care.

Fang Zheng, who was standing next to him, saw him, and he immediately smiled and testified: "Empress, the long live master is indeed not injured at all, it is all the blood of Jianlu!"

When Queen Zhou heard this, she really didn't find any problem, so she finally felt relieved.

However, Zhu Cixiang beside her was extremely excited and immediately asked: "Did your father rush to kill the enemy?"

If the blood on the emperor's body was all the blood of Jianlu, it would definitely be a bloody battle!
In Zhu Cixiang's mind, there was already a picture of his father being majestic and invincible.

Fang Zhenghua on the side responded loudly at the right time: "More than 100 white-armored soldiers rushed into the formation. They were invincible and killed many of my soldiers. Your Majesty, kill them all one at a time!"

Jianlu has been the most important enemy of the imperial court for so many years, and everyone knows about Jianlu's situation to some extent.Especially the elite among the Jianlu elite, most people must have heard of the reputation of the white-armored soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the legendary invincible white-armored soldiers were killed one by one by the current emperor!For a moment, they could not imagine how powerful the emperor was!

Emperor Chongzhen looked at their stunned looks, and immediately smiled lightly and said: "It's getting late, don't be stunned!"

After coming back to his senses, Zhu Cixiang walked beside the emperor, his back straight, as if his father killed the enemy, it was him who killed the enemy, and he was honored!

All officials, both civil and military, are respectful and respectful, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.

It was getting late, so Emperor Chongzhen naturally returned to the palace first.As for the placement of the army, it is naturally up to the cabinet to worry about it.

The entire capital was lively and lively, comparable to the Taiping years.

………………

At the same time, far away in Yongping Mansion, there was another scene.

The Jianlu army has been here for a few days. I don't know what happened to others, but Dorgon was a little worried.The situation has not progressed at all, but people consume a lot of horse chews every day.

When I entered the customs from Liaodong, I actually only brought food for the road.The gains gained by the army after breaking through the barrier cannot last long.If it were the past, the army would definitely not stay. They would plunder everything once they captured one place and then conquer the next. They would plunder everything and then attack... In this way, they would plunder enough human and financial resources, and finally return with a full load.

But this time, they came to the pass to fight for world supremacy, not to plunder.Staying here in Yongping Mansion is also to find the Emperor of Ming for a decisive battle after the three armies gather together, and strive to eliminate the Emperor of Ming outside the capital city.

The strategic purpose was different. When this action was taken, the logistical shortcomings of the Qing army were exposed.

Dorgon had the same worries as Li Zicheng.

As a last resort, he summoned several advisers to discuss the matter.

After hearing his doubts, Fan Wencheng first said: "Your Highness, if we want to take Shanhaiguan, our army will definitely not have enough food and grass. Perhaps we can go west and join the other two groups at the capital city, and then look at the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty Where are you looking for fighter planes?"

One advantage of attacking Shanhaiguan from within the pass is that it can cut off Shanhaiguan's backup, whether it is reinforcements or supplies.As long as there is enough time, we can definitely win Shanhaiguan.

However, the Qing army had limited food and grass, so how could it besiege Shanhaiguan for a long time?
If it were Li Zicheng in the original history, he would really be able to conquer Shanhaiguan.Because the land in the capital is already owned by him, he will be able to conquer Shanhaiguan sooner or later by stationing troops there.It was also because of this that Wu Sangui was afraid and finally asked Jianlu for help.

Hearing Fan Wencheng's words coincided with Dorgon's own thoughts, but he did not express his position immediately. Instead, he looked at the others, and finally looked at Hong Chengchou and asked: "Hong Qing is the most familiar with Guan Nei, but is there any What do you mean by teaching orphans?”

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou did not hesitate and told Dorgon: "The capital's supplies mostly rely on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to import supplies from the south. I heard that there were bandits under Li Zicheng in the first half of the year..."

Hearing what he said, Ning Wan, another veteran traitor, couldn't help but interrupt him and shouted: "His Highness asked you about your plans for the next war, and he didn't ask you to show off about the capital!"

He couldn't bear to look at Hong Chengchou, his associate who had become the governor of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that Hong Chengchou's arrival might also rob him of his position. Therefore, when he had the opportunity to attack, he would definitely not let it go. Passed.

But Dorgon heard this, stretched out his hand to stop him, and then motioned to Hong Chengchou to continue.

Faced with Ning Wan's obvious hostility, Hong Chengchou didn't pay attention. Instead, he focused on Dorgon and continued: "I heard that Li Zicheng's bandits have been in the capital area in the first half of the year, and then went south to Lu area. So It can be seen that the material supply of the capital must have been interrupted for half a year. If our army moves to the Tianjin Guards line, we can not only look for opportunities to replenish some supplies, but also continue to cut off the material supply of the capital. In this way, although the capital is strong and difficult to attack, it is also easy to attack. All the Qing Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Dorgon couldn't help but be overjoyed.

If we can capture the capital, that would of course be the best.Originally, he thought that the capital was the strongest city in the world, and even if he had twice as many troops, he would not be able to capture it.Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou was so talented that he actually considered the supply of food and grass to the capital. As long as the supply of food and grass to the capital was cut off, this city, the strongest city in the world and the most populous city in the world, would consume more food and grass every day...

Thinking along this line of thinking, Dorgon couldn't help but praise: "Okay, okay, Hong Qing's first achievement in winning the capital one day will be his!"

The Qing Dynasty was invincible in the field and cut off the supply of food and grass to the capital, which was no problem at all.

Therefore, he immediately asked Hong Chengchou to come up with more specific measures to facilitate the Qing army to cut off the supply of food and grass to the capital.

Dorgon couldn't wait until early the next morning and immediately held a military meeting.

When the various Jianlu leaders entered the lobby, they were a little surprised to find Dorgon's happy expression.

Daishan was a veteran, so he asked Dorgon, "Could it be that the two armies in the west have joined forces?"

They all knew the situation here, and there was nothing happy about it. Only the two armies to the west reported happy news.

After hearing this, Dorgon shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I have a plan to easily win the capital of the Ming Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, even Hauge, who disliked him the most, was shocked and couldn't help but ask: "Win the capital of the Ming Dynasty easily? What kind of easy method? Does losing more than half of it count as easy?"

The strength of the capital is famous throughout the world.Anyway, as far as Hauge is concerned, there is no easy way to think of a hundred ways to attack the city.Of course, he couldn't think of a hundred ways to attack the city.

When Dorgon heard what he said, he turned to look at him and said with a confident look on his face: "If nothing happens, our Qing army will be able to capture the capital with almost no losses."

When Hauge heard this, he didn't bother to pay attention to him.He's not stupid, can he be deceived by such words?

The other princes of Jianlu, Beile, etc., especially those who were friendly with Dorgon, saw that he was very confident, so they all complimented him and lamented that Dorgon was indeed a powerful regent.

Dorgon listened very comfortably and felt that it was almost done, so he spoke out Hong Chengchou's plan and said: "The capital of the Ming Dynasty has been without supplies of food and grass from the south for at least half a year. As long as we, the Qing Dynasty, send an army to capture Tianjin Wei and The Jinghai line cuts off the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and possible sea transportation at the same time. If the capital cannot get supplies of food and grass, can Gu still not easily win it?"

While he was talking, he also asked people to hang up a map of the Gyeonggi region, and then used the map to explain the key points of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Tianjin Wei, Jinghai and other places.

When these Jianlu heard this, even Hauge nodded.

The Qing Dynasty didn't need many troops. By sending tens of thousands of troops to that place, the material supply to the capital could be cut off.This is the saying that a lonely city cannot be defended.

As for the army of King Qin of the Ming Dynasty, if there really was an army of King Qin, when Li Zicheng’s bandit army was wandering around the capital, it would be time for King Qin to come!

The only thing that needs to be considered is the army led by the Ming Emperor himself.

For this army, Jianlu must not meet up and down early, so that the Ming Emperor can be captured.Unless the Emperor of Ming Dynasty hid in the capital while they were not paying attention.

Of course, if the capital of the Ming Dynasty hid in the capital, he would be seeking death!
No matter how you think about it, it seems that the capital of the Ming Dynasty can be easily won.The Jianlu and the big and small bosses in the lobby were all very happy!
Winning the capital of the Ming Dynasty was of great significance to the Qing Dynasty!

As a result, the Jianlu leaders asked Dorgon to fight, asking him to lead troops to capture Tianjin Wei and Jinghai, and promised not to let a single ship pass there.

Dorgon finally looked at Daishan's seventh son, Mandahai, and gave him the credit.There is no doubt that this is a gesture of goodwill to Daishan, the oldest prince.

Mandahai was very happy and immediately led his army and left camp with 1 horses.

After discussing for a while, Dorgon and others prepared to pack their luggage and head west to join the other two armies.

After the decree, almost everyone walked out of the lobby with excitement.

However, before they even stepped into the courtyard, they saw someone entering the courtyard. His face was frightened and he was sweating profusely. He almost bumped into Hauge who was walking in the front.

"Damn it, don't you have eyes?" Haug felt very uncomfortable when he saw that Dorgon was going to make such a big contribution. No, he just lost his temper.

The man heard the shouting and scolding, but he didn't care at all. When he saw so many Prince Beile coming out, he knelt down and loudly reported: "This slave met the defeated soldiers of Prince Yu and said that Prince Yu was killed. The Ming army is defeated!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone seemed to be immobilized. They looked at me and me, and they all seemed to think they had heard wrongly.

The first one to come back to his senses was Hauge. Hearing that Duduo was defeated, he was surprised at first and then immediately happy. However, he naturally did not show it on the surface. He just shouted and asked: "How is it possible? Didn't he receive 4 Ten thousand men and horses can be defeated by the Ming army? People, what about the defeated soldiers?"

"Slave, please be quick and come back first to report."

Perhaps hearing the commotion here, Dorgon, who had already transferred to the back office, quickly walked out and asked immediately: "Which Ming army can defeat Prince Yu's army?"

To be honest, he couldn't believe it. When did the Ming Dynasty have a powerful army again?
The others had almost the same expression as him, with disbelief on their faces.That was the [-] elite Qing army. With such strength, when had they ever been defeated by the Ming army?
It’s so unbelievable!
