Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 358
Qingshui Mingyue Pass under the jurisdiction of Ji Town, which is called Lengkou by later generations, has been breached several times by the Manchu Qing army in the 14th year of Chongzhen. Although it has been repaired, it is no longer the original Xiongguan Pass. .

Outside Qingshui Mingyue Pass, there is also a beacon tower used as a warning.Generally speaking, if there is an enemy invasion, the beacon tower outside will light up a beacon to notify Qingshui Mingyue Pass of emergency preparations.

Therefore, if there is no wolf smoke, it means that the outer beacon towers are fine.It is precisely because of this that the city defense at Qingshui Mingyue Pass is not very strict.Most of the soldiers were resting in the barracks, and only some soldiers on duty stood guard on the top of the city against the cold wind.

Backed by the wind, hiding at the base of the wall, the two soldiers were talking boredly.

"It's been two years, or three years. Jianlu has never entered the customs again. Maybe it's impossible to enter the customs again in the future!"

"Why? I'm worried. Counting the time, Jianlu might come here again during this time!"

"How is that possible! If Jianlu really wants to come again, first of all, he should come a few months earlier, usually in October. But now it's February. If those Liaodong barbarians dare to enter the customs, believe it or not, they will die of heat." You don't have to pay for your dog's life!"

"Moreover, I also heard news that the comrades from the Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong have fought back again! With them adding to the chaos over there, how could the Jianlu detour to the Mongolian grassland again? !"

"I've heard about this too. Didn't it mean that North Korea won the war? Hehe, Jianlu probably has a headache."

"Let me tell you, nothing will happen to us here. Don't worry! By the way, I'm going to pee. If the general comes, please tell me." After the Ming army soldier finished speaking, he folded his hands and He didn't even take the spear in his sleeves, he just leaned on the battlements, turned around and wanted to leave.

However, when he turned around, he was immediately stunned, and in an unbelievable tone, he turned pale and exclaimed: "Wolf smoke!"

When his companion heard this, he was startled, and quickly turned his head to look. Sure enough, outside the Great Wall, there was just rising smoke from wolves. It was very obvious that they gathered but did not disperse.

"Dang, clang, clang..." Immediately, the alarm gong sounded, and the hasty sound awakened Qingshuimingyueguan.

The soldiers of the Ming army all rushed out of the barracks, officers at all levels shouted loudly, the sound of armor clashing, the sound of chaotic footsteps, etc., all kinds of sounds gathered together and echoed in the sky above Qingshuimingyueguan.

After a while, it became more and more obvious.Beacon towers outside the Great Wall were all ablaze with smoke.It can be seen from this that there are many enemies.The Ming army was like a frightened bird, and immediately sent a messenger to convey the military situation to the pass.As for Qingshui Mingyue Pass, they began to prepare for it.

However, this thing is weird.

Generally speaking, it won't be long after the beacon fire is lit, and the enemy's soldiers will definitely reach the front of the pass.However, the Ming army at Qingshui Mingyue Pass, waited left, saw no sign of the enemy, and waited right, and there was no trace of the enemy. In the end, it turned out that a soldier of the Ming army stationed at the beacon tower ran back and went to the pass. The Ming general reported: "The Jianlu army did not attack Qingshui Mingyue Pass, but went west. There are probably tens of thousands of people."

This time, Qingshui Mingyueguan breathed a sigh of relief.As long as they don't come to attack Qingshui Mingyue Pass, they will be fine, but they still have to continue to report to the pass about the military situation.

However, on the second day, the Qingshui Mingyueguan side actually ignited a beacon again, which made the soldiers of the Ming army nervous again.However, in the end there was still no enemy to attack, and the Beacon Tower reported that this time, it was the Mongolian tribe who came to attack, and retreated after seeing the beacon fire.

Relevant military information was transmitted to the pass one by one. Jizhen is the defense area of ​​Jiliao Governor Hong Chengchou. The defense on the front line from Jizhen to Shanhaiguan.

And Emperor Chongzhen, who was on the capital's side, also received multiple alarms from the border.On his side, not only Qingshui Mingyue Pass, but almost along the Great Wall, there were alarms coming.In Shanxi, Jianlu even invaded the pass.However, the Ming army took strict precautions, and they were not knocked down from the city, so they withdrew from the prison.

On the other side of Shaanxi, there were also Mongolian tribes who tried to break through, but after the flames were ignited, they withdrew.

These news made Emperor Chongzhen very nervous.He was a little unclear about Jianlu's movements. Logically speaking, Jianlu wouldn't send troops to the grassland, right?

What makes him a little regretful is that there is only one Turg in Liaodong who has a Grade A wiretapping seed.But the crux of the problem is that Turger was a dead dog on the ship before, which had a great impact on his body.Although I put it back, I became seriously ill after going back.After returning to Shengjing, he has been recuperating at home.From him, almost no special news was received.Including the side where Jianlu sent troops to the grassland, there was no movement.

Even so, Emperor Chongzhen could also feel that Huang Taiji did not want to be passively beaten, so he fought back.

He guessed right, since the last few days of the year, Huang Taiji has made a decision and launched a counterattack.

From the Shengjing side, first one after another, they flew out of the capital and headed for various places on the grassland.

At this time, the tribes on the entire grassland had all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.Therefore, the envoys of the Qing Dynasty, from the eastern part of the grassland to the nomadic Oirat tribe near the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, all received Huang Taiji's will in different time sequences.

The orders given to these tribes are all similar, that is, all Mongolian tribes who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty will send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty after receiving the order.No matter how many troops are sent, the Qing side doesn't care, as long as there are troops to attack the Ming country.

The reason why Huang Taiji did this was because he discovered that Liaodong could not be allowed to bear the pressure of the Ming Dynasty alone.

According to the information he received, the Ming army sent to Liaodong, and the Ming army occupying Lushun and the surrounding islands all spoke a Qin accent and came from Qin soldiers.

Afterwards, he finally eradicated the Ancestral Army and greatly weakened the strength of Guan Ningming Army. He originally thought that the pressure would be relieved.Fortunately, another soldier of the Ming Dynasty named He Renlong came. He also had a Qin accent, and he was from Qin Bing.Tossing on Guan Ning's side is even worse than that of the ancestors' army.

If there is no pressure from other places in the Ming Dynasty, troops from all over the country can be continuously dispatched to Liaodong.This made Huang Taiji very annoyed. If it continues to consume like this, the Ming country is so big, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be able to consume the Ming country.

If the grassland tribes attacked the Ming country, with such a long border, the pressure on the Ming country must be great.At least it is impossible for Ming to transfer troops from Qin in the future, right?Huang Taiji thought so, and felt that it was not enough, so he sent Jierhalang and Azig to the Hetao Plain, where they sat there, unified the dispatch of the western Mongolian tribes, and threatened the Qin land.

And this is the reason why Jianlu was discovered in the area from Qingshui Mingyue Pass to Jindi.Without the support of Shanxi merchants' intelligence, this Jianlu army did not dare to go deep into Mingdi, but the harassment at the border was no problem.In this regard, Daming also had to guard against, who knows if these Jianlu troops will suddenly go crazy and rush into the pass.

These measures of Huang Taiji basically did not consume a lot of money and food.Even if the two troops of Jierhalang and Azig were stationed far away in Hetao, they still collected cattle and sheep from the surrounding Mongolian tribes to make a living.

Since the fifth day of February in the 14th year of Chongzhen, beacon fires have been ignited one after another on the defense line of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.Some even crossed the side wall and entered the pass.These military conditions eventually allowed Emperor Chongzhen to transfer Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, to serve as the governor of Xuanda.It can be said that the pressure on the frontier troops in various places has increased again, which has also affected the disaster relief in the pass to some extent.

In this situation, it was not until around February [-]th that Yingerdai and other ten Jianlu captives were released back to Liaodong that Emperor Chongzhen finally figured out Jianlu's intention.

When Huang Taiji heard that Ying Erdai and others had returned, of course he summoned them immediately to ask about the situation at that time.

In this regard, Yingerdai did not hide it, but reported to Huang Taiji in every detail. At the end, Yingerdai said: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty seems to be very confident, release the slaves and wait for others to come back. It's just to let the slaves and others convey to His Majesty that I want the Qing Dynasty to surrender unconditionally, otherwise my Manchurians will be exterminated!"

"Hahaha, just rely on that bullshit emperor?" Hauge immediately laughed disdainfully and said, "Will he fight a war, thinking he won once and then get carried away? Pooh, I won so much Time, what did we say?"

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Huang Taiji, and said loudly: "Father, between sons and ministers, or we will throw back one of King De's people and tell the emperor of Ming Dynasty to surrender unconditionally immediately. Otherwise, I would like to lead the army to bring all the harem of the dog emperor!"

To be honest, after hearing Ying Erdai's report, Huang Taiji also had the same feeling as Hauge, and felt that the Ming emperor didn't know how to fight at all.He just won a battle, but he was so arrogant that he wanted Daqing to surrender unconditionally. I really don't know how inflated he is?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Fan Wencheng start to say: "Your Majesty, I thought it would be better to take this opportunity to release King De and others back to give the Ming Dynasty the impression that the Qing Dynasty has softened. In this way, we will definitely It can paralyze them. Then, suddenly launching the Korean War will have a miraculous effect!"

After hearing this, Huang Taiji nodded and said: "I have lost confidence in the white-eyed wolf of North Korea. Since they are unrighteous, don't blame me for being unkind. The preliminary preparations are probably about the same. Then follow Fan Qing's words, Paralyze the Ming army, and prepare to launch a war against North Korea!"

Just like that, Huang Taiji made a final decision, and immediately began to dispatch troops.

However, Ying Erdai and others, who committed non-war crimes, were implicated by the pig teammates in North Korea, which led to their defeat. Therefore, Huang Taiji did not pursue it.

The imperial decree of Huang Taiji has been issued, mobilization has begun in various places, and Jianlu scattered in various places has begun to gather.

Dorgon led the army to garrison Tashan to guard against the Ming army on the front line of Ningjin. At the same time, he sent an envoy to say that he would release King De and negotiate conditions with Ming.

Jin Guofeng, the guard of Jinzhou, naturally had no right to make the decision on this matter, so he immediately reported it to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion at Shanhaiguan.

On the other side of Lushun, after Daishan received the order, he immediately sent a messenger to Lushun, saying that he wanted to release King De and negotiate terms with Ming Guo.

Li Guo, who was stationed in Lushun, also had no right to call the shots, so he immediately sent a clipper to report to Phi Island, asking Lu Xiangsheng to decide the matter.

At the same time, the Jianlu army that invaded North Korea from time to time also began to shrink back to Liaodong.At the same time, there were rumors that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty was warned by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he was afraid, so he made a concession to a certain extent, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would let the Qing Dynasty go.

This rumor made the North Koreans who heard it overjoyed, and immediately reported it to Seoul.The North Korean monarchs and ministers were all overjoyed when they heard the news.But to be cautious, they also sent messengers to Phi Island to find out the situation.

According to the news obtained, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty, had left Phi Island and went to Lushun to negotiate the release of the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty at the request of Jianlu.

From this, it can be seen that Jianlu seems to be sincere in acquiescing to Daming.For this reason, the North Korean monarchs and ministers were very happy.

However, they didn't know that Jianlu had secretly assembled the largest force and was making final preparations.

Fortunately, the whole intention of Manchu was clearly known by Emperor Chongzhen.Therefore, he immediately responded to the situation in Liaodong.

It was inconvenient to contact Lu Xiangsheng. Even if a messenger was sent to deliver the news to Lu Xiangsheng, it would probably be too late.

As for Shanhaiguan, there is no problem.But Jianlu's countermeasures are just to stabilize the Shanhaiguan side, and they will not use weapons. Even if they don't notify, there will be no big problems.

The real purpose of Jianlu this time is to destroy North Korea, and the other is to eat Lu Xiangsheng's troops.Jianlu must not be allowed to succeed in this matter.

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen thought that in another year and a half, he would continue to train the three battalions under the Yumajian, and then talk about the crusade against Liaodong.But now the situation in Liaodong has taken a turn for the worse. I didn't expect that Huang Taiji would be so courageous. If he doesn't move, he will do something big.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision and suddenly announced that the imperial commander would go on a personal expedition and would lead the three major battalions out again.

This news came very suddenly.However, if you really think about it, there are signs to follow.

Suddenly, police conditions appeared along the Great Wall.And the emperor had led the army before and wiped out the Hetao Tartars in one fell swoop.Now that he is going out again, he is quite familiar with the way.

Although some people in the court objected, Emperor Chongzhen's prestige was already high at this time, and no one could stop Qian Kun from arbitrarily arbitrarily doing things.

Just when Huang Taiji was in person and marching towards the Korean border, Emperor Chongzhen also led the three major battalions out of the capital.

The first direct contest between Huang Taiji and Emperor Chongzhen took place in the 14th year of Chongzhen.

　This period of time is not smooth, please understand, thank you!
