Win the Ding 1617

In order to express to Ma Shaoyu the sincerity of the Qing army's peace negotiations, Fan Wencheng, with Huang Taiji's consent, took Ma Shaoyu and Emperor Chongzhen's handbook to the city of Guangning to inform the guards at the top of the city and asked Governor Hong to come out and speak. .

Ma Shaoyu is also an acquaintance of Hong Dushi, as a doctor in the Ministry of War, the two have met many times.When Hong Chengchou sent troops to Liaodong, Ma Shaoyu lived in his army for several months.

After carefully reading the handwritten letter from Emperor Chongzhen to Chen Xinjia, which was tied up by the soldiers from the bottom of the city in a hanging basket, Hong Chengchou, who was familiar with the emperor's handwriting, carefully read it several times and confirmed that it was the imperial edict written by the emperor himself.

The acquaintance brought the emperor's letter, which proved that the two families were negotiating peace, which immediately caused commotion in the city.

Regardless of whether there will be reinforcements here, everyone will not die in battle.As long as the negotiation can be successful, we can still protect our family and wealth.

"My lord! Mr. Fan told the students that in order to show my sincerity in negotiating peace between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, Lao Han specially issued an order that the besieging soldiers and horses retreat five li, and the officers and soldiers in the city can go out of the city to collect firewood and release horses, and fetch water to burn charcoal!"

Trapped for almost a whole winter, tens of thousands of people were besieged in this small city of Guangning, and each of them had been trapped until their bones were moldy.Now Huang Taiji took the initiative to show his favor in order to negotiate a peace. Everyone can go out of the city to go to activities, let the horses gather firewood and drink water. How can such good things not excite everyone?

Outside the city is the secret envoy sent by the emperor to Liaodong to negotiate a peace, surrounded by a group of subordinates whose eyes are full of expectation. How could Hong Chengchou, who has been in the army for a long time, object at this time?

Now he smiled and expressed his gratitude to Fan Wencheng. He should have invited Mr. Fan into the city to have a talk, but now that the negotiation failed, everyone's identities are a bit embarrassed, so they have to wrong Mr. Fan!

Fan Wencheng didn't say much, and after saluting towards the top of the city, he led Ma Shaoyu and others back to Huang Taiji's camp.Before leaving, he left a sentence: "Lord Hong, all generals. If you need any letters, you can send someone to Ma Langzhong in Daying. Your army's Wu Sangui's troops are currently stationed in Songshan. Wan Jin, everyone may wish to write a letter to report home safe!"

The soldiers and horses in the city learned that a peace was to be negotiated. During the peace negotiation, everyone can go out of the city to collect firewood and release horses, even if the peace negotiation fails.Wu Sangui's troops have already arrived at Songshan Fort, which is only a stone's throw away from Guangning!I hope everyone will be safe and sound this time!However, Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou, is a treacherous and cunning man. Regarding Huang Taiji's statement, he can't believe it, but dare not believe it completely.This kind of thing that lures the enemy to go deep, and after letting go of vigilance, to kill, he Hong Chengchou used it a lot when he wiped out all kinds of rogues in the Central Plains.As long as those rogues lay down their weapons and accept the summons.It's time to become his ghost under the sword of King Hong Yan!

"Although the slave chief Hongtai sent people to show his favor, but the two armies are facing each other, everything must be cautious! The order continues, and the towns and battalions must not leave their saddles. The patrols should strengthen their manpower!"

When the good news first came, everyone half-believed and doubted it. All the generals followed Governor Hong's orders without doubt.

"My lord, strengthen the manpower. There is a shortage of soldiers and horses in each department. Can you send a soldier to the city?" Cao Bianjiao hesitated for a while.Whispering, he asked Governor Hong for help.Everyone knows what he means.

Since Zu Dashou came to the Qing Dynasty, many battalions of the Guan Ning Army were withdrawn from the city by Governor Hong in the name of rotating defenses because of their close relationship with the ancestors' family, but now they intend to strengthen their guard.Isn't it unconvincing that these people are sleeping in the city?

What's more, most of the soldiers and horses in Guangning City are Guanning Army, and Wang Tingchen and Ma Ke are generals of Liaodong Army.It is Cao Bianjiao.It is also inextricably linked with Liaodong.The reason for worrying about colluding with the ancestors to offer the city is somewhat unreasonable now.

After pondering for a while, Hong Chengchou nodded, agreeing to add those troops who were not trusted originally to join the defense of the city wall.

"You must be more careful. Also, you must pay more attention to the matter of going out of the city to gather firewood and release horses, and you must not be careless."

Under the carefulness of Governor Hong and the generals, hundreds of old and weak soldiers who went out to collect firewood were let down from the city wall.

Below the city are hundreds of people going to collect firewood in the nearby mountains and forests, and there are thousands of pairs of eyes on the city staring at the whereabouts and movements of these people.

Sure enough, when the sun went down, these people returned to the city with heavy firewood on their backs.

The next day, the number of people going out of the city to collect firewood doubled, and dozens of weak mules and horses were released from the city pool. Some people took care of them, looking for the newly sprouted grass outside the city to eat greedily.

In the distance, a thin figure on a thin horse, with tears in his eyes, staggered from the direction of the Qing army camp, and saw the Ming army flag floating on the top of the city from a distance, and couldn't help crying bitterly.

"Unexpectedly, I will see the red flag of the Han family again!"

Someone discovered that this was Lord Qiu Min, Governor of Liaodong!

Qiu Minyang could be counted as unlucky in his past years. In the first battle of Tashan, his Fubiao Battalion shook the entire army's offensive. If Li Huamei had followed Li Huamei's wishes, he, the governor of Liaodong, would have been invited out of the Tianzijian Army to rectify the law.Fortunately, everyone begged for mercy, and barely saved their lives.Later, they escorted the last batch of supplies to Jinzhou and rushed into Jinzhou. After entering the city, they were besieged in the city and could not go out.He also took it lightly. After all, dying in Jinzhou is considered a martyrdom, and the imperial court will give some compensation to the family.

The following things were even more twists and turns. First, Wu Biao, Wang Pu, Li Fuming and others led troops into the siege and joined the Jinzhou city defense force.However, it didn't take long for the Ming army to kill from the guys, and a good head of Wu Biao was sent to Dorgon, Prince Rui, the slave chief.After Zu Dashou wiped out the Model Brigade, they discovered that there was still a Liaodong governor in the city!Ever since, he was dedicated to Huang Taiji as the highest-ranking prisoner in Jinzhou City.

In order to show his sincerity in the peace talks, Huang Taiji sent the guy who said he would not surrender himself back to Guangning, and saved some food for himself by the way.However, Qiu Minyang did not come empty-handed when he entered the city. Huang Taiji ordered him to bring the terms of the peace talks with Ma Shaoyu to Hong Chengchou.

"The slave chief Hong Tai said that he has already used the seal, and as long as the emperor uses the seal, the war in Liaodong will stop, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment."

Seeing Qiu Minyang being sent back to Guangning by Huang Taiji, Hong Chengchou's original doubts disappeared immediately.In particular, Qiu Minyang took out a copy of Huang Taiji's seal from the personal protection book.There were signatures of Ma Shaoyu and Fan Wencheng on it, and after Gang Lin and others' affiliated seals and terms, I became more and more convinced that this matter was true!

Compared with Governor Hong's original expectation, the above terms are undoubtedly much more relaxed.It is neither required to be called son or grandson.It wasn't the Chanyuan Alliance either, but it seemed to have given Daming enough respect.Huang Taiji went to the title of emperor, canonized as the king of Liao, and made Liaodong his land, which he was responsible for guarding.However, the Ming court will send officials to serve in various places in Liaodong.There is neither old coins nor land, at most it is tribute trade and open border market trade.With such a favorable condition, Hong Dushi and the others couldn't help feeling jealous.

"If that's the case, then what are the decades of war we've fought?!" A lieutenant general of the Guan Ning Army muttered, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"No nonsense!" Hong Chengchou reprimanded.With his commanding ability and authority over the army, the general was frightened and dared not speak.

However, this does not mean that Hong Chengchou agrees so much with this peace negotiation.

He prides himself on himself as a ten-year old supervisor, and has struggled on the battlefield for many years. Now he has an army of more than [-] and has consumed millions of food and money. However, he cannot defeat the thief in front of him. Done with Hwang Tae-ji.Let him go to the title of emperor and restore the country.How can this humiliation be endured?

He now fully understands the inner feelings of Qi Wang Han Xin back then!Lao Tzu's hundreds of thousands of troops fought for so long to take down more than [-] cities. How can you say that more than [-] cities have come down?

Everyone in the history books praised those famous lobbyists, and praised their so-called penetrating tongue and lotus flower, and they could do it without a single soldier.But no and never thought about the forces behind these lobbyists.If there is no powerful Qin State behind, can Zhang Yi play hooligans and make trouble in the six countries of the Kanto?I'm afraid it would have been thrown into the frying pan long ago!

Even if it was Ma Shaoyu who had an even better mouth than Su Qin and Zhang Yi.If Huang Taiji hadn't always wanted to use war to force the Ming Dynasty to recognize his rule over Liaodong and at the same time develop border market trade, coupled with the military pressure of the Ming Dynasty many times, it would have made the rebels in Liaodong miserable, so he wouldn't have Will agree to make peace with you, and put it so low!

"Those who have written affairs have always been armed. The court wants to negotiate a peace. We are in front of the enemy, and we have no communication with the court. Naturally, we don't know what the emperor thinks. However, we must make good use of this time, make good use of our troops, and do a good job in continuing to fight with the court." Huang Taiji is ready to deal with it!"

Governor Hong didn't quite believe it, and at the same time, he didn't really hope that the peace talks between the imperial court and the Liao bandits would succeed.On this point, his judgment was correct based on his understanding of the various factions within the imperial court.What he did was to make full use of this period of time, to store a large amount of supplies, mainly firewood, etc. At the same time, he rotated the horses that had been raised in the city for a long time to graze outside the city, and gnawed some green grass, which was also good for the future. lay the groundwork for the war.

At that moment, he explained his thoughts to Qiu Minyang, Cao Bianjiao and others one by one, and everyone held back their hands and agreed.Praise Master Supervisor's handling is extremely appropriate.

From the second day onwards, the number of soldiers in Guangning City who went out to cut firewood and collect mushrooms and fungus in the mountains suddenly more than doubled.Every day, the gates of the city are divided into half open in the morning and half in the afternoon, each opening for half an hour, so that the horsemen and cavalry in the city will drive the mules and horses from each battalion and town outside the city to graze and drink water in batches.

"Your Majesty, according to the statistics made by the servants below, there were about 1000 soldiers of the Ming army who left the city yesterday, and more than 4000 mules and horses. Today, the number has reached nearly [-] people who went out of the city to collect wood and prepare firewood. More than doubled."

The virtuous Karbusi Zhangjing Wubai beside Huang Taiji waited on Huang Taiji to put on his armor, and signaled the groom to prepare the two steeds from Tianfang that Dorgon presented to Huang Taiji, and he was still communicating with Huang Taiji Then, tell the master the changes in the military situation in the past few days.

"What's going on in my tiger's mouth?"

The Hukou mentioned by Huang Taiji was his eldest son, Hauge, the current Prince Su Zhenglan Banner Manchurian Banner.

Naturally, Wu Bai did not dare to neglect the situation of the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the great Mongol Bogda Khan. Not to mention that he knew everything about everything, but he was able to grasp it [-]% to [-]%.

"Prince Su's master ordered someone to report that those Ming soldiers who collected firewood and released horses had crossed the first long trench, and almost all the wood in the long trench had been transported into the city by them. The Ming soldiers in the mountains on the left There are also more and more. Prince Su asked the emperor to show me, do you want to drive these Ming soldiers who are too close to the emperor away? So as not to disturb the emperor?"

A smug smile appeared on Huang Taiji's black and fat face.

"Pass the decree to Zu Dashou. I'm going to send his soldiers and subordinates some errands. Tell Hauge, since the first long trench has been demolished by the Ming army, you might as well let out the second long trench!"

That night, the city of Guangning was brightly lit again.

Ma Shaoyu rode his horse and stood under the city with a happy face, surrounded by hundreds of Huang Taiji's Kabush soldiers guarding him like stars around the moon.

"My lord! The students are lucky! The old Mrs. Hong has agreed to the terms of the peace agreement. I have sealed it! Now I am enclosing the terms of the peace agreement. Please give me some pointers. If there is nothing wrong, please sign the agreement with the students and send it Go to the capital to invite His Majesty to order!"

"The villain succeeds!" From Hong Chengchou to Qiu Minyang, to Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen, Ma Ke and other guerrillas, these words spontaneously surfaced in their hearts.

However, they can be regarded as having achievements, but they have to perfunctory.

At the moment, Hong Chengchou ordered people to put down the hanging basket and hang the text of the peace agreement on the top of the wall.really.On top of the signatures and stamps of the envoys of both sides, Huang Taiji's seal was clearly covered with cinnabar.After a cursory glance, Hong Chengchou saw that the terms were the same as what he had seen before, but some changes were made in the words.

"It's getting late today, my lord might as well go back and take a good look. If there's nothing wrong, I'll ask my lord to use the seal. Send it to Mr. Ma, and I'll send it to the capital right away!" Fan Wen wrote under Ma Shaoyu's words Cheng also looked anxious.He shouted out his inner hope towards Hong Chengchou at the head of the city.

"The slave chief is eager to negotiate a peace, there must be a crisis in the country!"

Hong Chengchou from Huang Taiji's many performances.Come to such a conclusion!

In order for Hong Chengchou and the generals in the city to agree to this document as soon as possible, and jointly send it to Beijing for imperial approval from Chongzhen, Fan Wencheng ordered the accompanying coated Ahhas to bring hundreds of pigs and sheep and a lot of wine, vegetables, and tea. Waiting for things to be placed under the city, please accept them from Governor Hong.

These pigs, sheep, wine, water, vegetables and other things dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the generals. It seems that this battle is really going to end with a peace negotiation.There are those who are quick-tempered.He has already started to think about how much money he can make in the castle in the defense area where he opens a border market in the future.

"Master Qiu, please work hard and distribute these pig and sheep wine paste with all the general soldiers." All of a sudden.Governor Hong felt as if his body had been emptied, and he was powerless. If it wasn't for the lighting, his face would be as pale as the remaining snow in the old forest behind the mountain.

That night, there were endless cheers in the city.The sound of slaughtering pigs and sheep came from all camps and towns, and many people fell asleep with the smell of stewed meat forcefully holding back their saliva.

After dawn, the sergeant on duty at the top of the city was even more pleasantly surprised to find that the Qing soldiers in the second long trench had already retreated overnight, almost out of the shooting range of General Dingliao!

Amidst the cheers, the gates of the city opened, and countless soldiers swarmed out to the second long trench to dismantle the wooden fences and fortifications and transport them to the city as fuel.It just so happens that the stew lacks firewood!

Occasionally, soldiers collecting firewood in the mountains encountered the Qing army, and the two sides no longer fought each other with swords and bows.On the contrary, those Qing soldiers from the Liaodong Army would smile and report the troops they belonged to, and the officers they belonged to before.To make friends, most of these people are from Jinzhou, Zu Dashou's subordinates.Many of the Guan Ningjun who went out of the city to collect firewood were friends and relatives.Speaking of it now, there are many familiar people in each other's camp, and for a while, the fighting turned into friendship.

Since we are all friends, we must have a good talk. These former Guanning Army and current Qing soldiers took out wine pots from their arms, and took out dry food and cooked meat from their waists. stand up.

If you pay attention to such a scene, you will find that in the mountains and forests around Guangning, on the grassy beaches, and beside the springs, there are Qing soldiers who have just baked them together with the Ming soldiers who went out of the city to collect firewood and herd horses. Sitting around drinking wine and eating meat, talking happily.From time to time, the soldiers of the Ming army whose faces were flushed from drinking and the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who were also full of alcohol patted their shoulders and called them brothers and sisters.

Such a scene was fully captured by the two commanders in the south and the north with the help of the lens of the telescope.

"The subordinates of the slave chieftain Huang Taiji are so lax and flattering our soldiers, why did they come here? Could it be that there is something wrong in the slave chieftain and they are eager to withdraw the troops? Or these soldiers also know that the peace negotiation is about to happen, so they come to argue with these generals How about some friendship, so that it will be more convenient in the future?"

Holding a monocular with a brass mirror in his hand, Governor Hong saw the scenes clearly.The soldiers of the Ming army with the eight-petal cap and the iron pointed helmet on their heads, and the former soldiers of the Guanning Army with the folded kerchiefs on their heads, supported each other and staggered out of the forest all the way. Bind up the firewood, and follow the footsteps of these eight uncles with their backs on their backs.

He was very puzzled and sat on the mount of the Dingliao Great General's cannon at the top of the city, holding the slightly cool cannon body with his right hand, dazed and at a loss.

"I don't care about him, I will use my seal and signature today. Send the terms of the agreement to the Hongtai camp and order them to get out of the way. The army will return to Ningyuan!" (To be continued...)
