I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 555 Huang Taiji, you have to hurry up
April [-]th, Liaodong, under Tieling City.

Liaodong in April has already escaped the severe cold, and the weather is getting warmer.

If we go by previous years, now is the time for farmers to loosen the land and prepare for sowing.It is also a good time for hunters to go into the mountains and forests to collect herbs, hunt, and obtain furs.

It's just that the current Tieling City is different from previous years. It's even said that since the 47th year of Wanli, the situation of Tieling Guard, which is the key to the north gate of Shenyang, has been very different from before, and it has even become worse day by day.

After Nurhaci captured Tieling three years ago, he massacred and plundered the residents of Tieling City. Tens of thousands of people died, and the rest were even made into slaves.Last year, food was difficult. In order to supply the Eight Banners with food and grass, Nurhachi even forced the local Liao people to pay more food, causing many local people to starve to death.

Once this year is over, the remaining Liao people feel that last year was very difficult, and they are glad that it is finally over.But I didn't expect that this year would be even more difficult. Food for the Eight Banners was even tighter, and the measures against the Liao people were even more brutal.

Especially after Amin came to Tieling, he brought over 1 people from Xianglan Banner.In order to hold up the Xilan Banner longer, Amin indulged his subordinates in killing Liao people wantonly, completely disobeying the laws promulgated by Nurhaci.

For a time, Xianglan Banner, with Niulu as a unit, plundered Tieling wantonly. Most of the Liao people who had no time to leave were slaughtered by them. Their corpses were everywhere. Only a few people escaped and were accepted by He Shixian's troops stationed at Yilushi.

Although doing this was to quench thirst, the food plundered by Xianglan Banner was enough to feed Xianglan Banner for four months.But Amin was not happy for a long time. A bad news came immediately. The Han army rebelled, Fushun fell, and Mang Gurtai was defeated and captured. He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army who received the good news, led his army from Yilu and was heading towards Tieling. Come.

Amin was also smart. When he saw the situation, he made a prompt decision and immediately gave up other places. He ordered all Xianglan Banners to withdraw to Tieling and prepared to hold on to the city.

"Are the soldiers and horses from the Zhejiang Camp arriving soon? They have been walking for more than half a month and have delayed the military plane. Be careful, I will join them."

After hearing this, Chen Ce, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said:

"The roads in Liaodong are now muddy, and it is inconvenient for the Zhejiang camp to carry artillery. We should go to Yilu Station now. It is estimated that we will arrive at Tieling City in five or six days."

Listening to Chen Ce's instructions, He Shixian could only nod helplessly.

Unlike Fushun, Tieling is far away from Shenyang, and the closer to Tieling, the muddy and bumpy the road becomes, making it difficult to walk.So even though the Zhejiang camp was slow, he could only complain.

"Amin is currently defending the city. It looks like he is going to lose us. If there are no cannons, it will be very troublesome to attack the city."

After the last battle of Puhesuo, after the Zheying camp's Krupp artillery showed its prowess, He Shixian had become dependent on the Krupp artillery. Who would attack the city with such a thing? This would not only increase casualties.

"Master General, I heard that Amin is the son of Shuerhaqi, Nurhaci's younger brother. Shuerhaqi was originally Nurhaci's most capable general and contributed a lot to him. But after Nurhachi unified the army, he and Nurhachi secretly They are not in harmony, do not advocate the use of foreign troops, and strive to maintain peace with me, the Ming Dynasty, through tribute.

Therefore, Shuerhaqi was jealous of Nurhaci and was forced to move to another place. At that time, Li Chengliang, the governor of Liaodong, wanted to divide his people, so he took the opportunity to let the court canonize Shuerhaqi as the leader of the Jianzhou Right Guards.Unexpectedly, Nurhachi was so ambitious that he imprisoned Shuerhaqi until he died.

After Shuerhaqi's death, Nurhaci even killed Shuerhaqi's two sons, Altong'a and Zasaktu.Later, they still planned to execute A Min, but in the end, with the desperate pleas of Huang Taiji and others, A Min escaped and escaped death. "

Just when He Shixian was struggling, Sichuan Army General Qin Bangping stood up and analyzed Amin's life experience to He Shixian.

He Shixian knew Amin's situation best. Now that he heard what Qin Bangping said, he immediately understood what he meant.

"You mean to ask me to persuade Amin to surrender?"

"My Lord General, Amin's father has always been interested in me, and Amin might also be affected by it, not to mention that he was almost executed by Nurhachi. Although he was finally named the leader of the Blue Banner by Nurhachi, it was also for the sake of By appeasing Shuerhaqi’s old men, I believe that Amin has no grudge against Nurhaci.

In the past, Nurhachi was so powerful that Amin might have thought he was a snake, but now Jianlu's decline has been fully demonstrated. After Jingying captured Fushun, it cut off the connection between Sarhu and Katie.Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tieling and Kaiyuan are isolated cities. I don't believe that Amin can't see it, and I don't believe that Amin would want to cling to it. "

Qin Bangping's words were sincere, and everyone present nodded.

He Shixian also began to think deeply after hearing this. What Qin Bangping said was not unreasonable. Anyway, the Zhejiang camp was still on the way, and he was not in a hurry to attack the city. He might as well try to persuade him to surrender.After all, Chen Liangbi caught Mang Gurtai, which made him a little eager to try.

"Okay, then send an envoy to Tieling City and tell Amin, first be polite and then attack."

After he finished speaking, his expression paused again, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he continued:
"But don't stop digging the tunnel. If Amin refuses to drink wine as a penalty, the tunnel will be blown up together with the Zhejiang camp. I don't believe Tieling can't be broken."

What Qin Minping said made sense, and on the Tieling city wall, Amin, who was looking at the Ming army camp not far away, also knew that Tieling was an isolated city, and even more so that Nurhachi was afraid that he would not be able to save them.But even so, he still wanted to stick around for a while.

There was no other reason than that Huang Taiji gave him a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

When he came to Tieling, Huang Taiji soon came from Kaiyuan to meet him and analyze the situation of Daikin to him.

He said that if he wanted to reverse the situation now, he could only unite Horqin and Bahrain again and lead the Mongolian army to march eastward.Combine the Xianglan Banner soldiers and horses to defeat He Shixian first, and then lead the troops south to surround the Ming army's Beijing camp, so that the entire chess game can be brought to life.

However, after the defeat of Huang Taiji, Obahai and others in Liaodong, Horqin and the Bahrain tribe lost their troops and had deep resentment towards Dai Jin.It would definitely not work if he just sent an envoy, so in order to show his sincerity, Huang Taiji decided to go to Horqin personally to make him return to his heart and send troops.

And if he goes to Horqin to ask for help, it means that Amin must defend Tieling for at least a month.

As long as he can hold on for a month, Huang Taiji will definitely be able to recruit reinforcements and join forces with Amin to attack He Shixian's department.But if Amin cannot hold on for such a long time, then everything will be lost, even if Mongolian reinforcements are invited, it will not help.

When Amin heard Huang Taiji's thoughts, he was immediately shocked and speechless.

He really admired Huang Taiji's courage. Previously, Huang Taiji led Horqin and the elite troops of the Bahrain Department to send troops to Liaodong and folded in all Obahai and others.Now these two departments probably hate Huang Taiji very much, but he actually went to these two departments in person to persuade them to help each other again. In Amin's opinion, this is no different from seeking death.

But seeing that Huang Taiji had made up his mind, Amin couldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

One thing is that He Shixian's troops were still at Yilu Suo at that time, and there was no sign of attacking Tieling.Secondly, although he didn't like his uncle Nurhaci, he trusted and loved Huang Taiji very much.If Huang Taiji hadn't spoken back then, he would have been killed by Nurhaci long ago.

Seeing that Amin agreed, Huang Taiji was immediately overjoyed. After giving some instructions, he led the Zhengbai Banner elite to Horqin.

However, he never expected that five days after he went to Horqin, Fushun unexpectedly captured the capital camp. He Shixian immediately led his troops north to garrison troops at the foot of Tieling City, with a posture of determined to capture Tieling.

This gave Amin a headache. He was now riding a tiger and couldn't retreat. He could only hold on and pin his hopes on Huang Taiji.

Thinking of this, Amin, who was standing on the wall of Tieling City, looked at the Ming army camps stretching for miles below, and then turned his attention to the northwest.

It's been the fifteenth day, Huang Taiji, you have to hurry up! ——
150 miles west of Liaohetao, in the upper reaches of Liaohe River, is the Horqin tribe.

The Horqin tribe originally lived on the Mongolian plateau. During the Jiajing period, the right-wing Tumut Mongolia headed by Ada Khan became increasingly powerful.Instead of obeying the orders of his overlord, the Mongol Khan, Raixun Khan, he relied on his power to annex the Chahar tribe.

Under pressure, the Chahar tribe decided to avoid his attack, so they migrated eastward to the Xilamulun River Basin.The Nenhorqin tribe, together with the five Inner Khalkha tribes, actively responded to Da Laixun Khan and opposed Anda Khan, so they followed the Mongolian Khan Da Laixun Khan and moved eastward to the Liao River Basin.

Later, its power further expanded southward and was active outside Kaiyuan and Tieling in the Ming Dynasty. Sometimes it entered the customs to plunder, and sometimes it passed through Xin'an Pass and Qingyun Fort to conduct mutual trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Until the Wanli period, the Horqin tribe was powerful and had frequent frictions with the Jianlu. They even fought several battles with Nurhaci, but were defeated by Nurhachi.

However, Nurhaci did not take advantage of the victory to attack Horqin. Instead, he took the initiative to make amends and adopted the attitude of repaying evil with kindness, which made Horqin's tribe very grateful to him.Finally, due to the internal disputes in Mongolia, Horqin was very dissatisfied with Lindan Khan, which led to the relationship between Horqin and Jianlu getting better day by day. Later, the two even married each other, and the relationship took a higher level.

It can be said that Horqin is an important support for Jianlu's rise, and Jianlu is also Horqin's solid backing against Lin Danhan.

But times have changed, and now the relationship between Horqin and the Jianlu alliance is in danger.

As soon as Huang Taiji and his people arrived in Horqin, they immediately found his father-in-law, Mang Gusi of Horqin tribe, to learn about the situation.

What he did not expect shocked him. After receiving the news that Huang Taiji escaped with his own troops and that Obahai was defeated and killed, the Horqin tribe was furious and believed that Huang Taiji had betrayed them.

In addition, now that the Ming army was powerful, they did not want to offend the Ming army, so they contacted the Bahrain tribe of the Inner Khalkha tribe and quickly sent envoys to ask for surrender before the Ming Dynasty could blame them.

By the time Huang Taiji arrived in Horqin, the envoys to the Ming Dynasty had already set off.

　Third, don’t wait. It depends on the situation tonight and think about the plot.
