Chapter 513

The matter here in the Liaohe Plain, as well as the situation in Tieling, no matter how quickly and confidentially it is done, it is impossible to keep it a secret for too long.

Therefore, Wu Sangui led five thousand cavalry, and under the guidance of Kong Youde, rushed towards Shenyang City.

Shenyang was renamed Shengjing by Jianlu, and it was the capital of Jianlu's so-called Qing Dynasty.To attack here is to hit a snake seven inches, and it is the place that can most "surprise" Jianlu.

But since it is the capital of the Jianlu Kingdom, no matter how many troops are deployed, Shenyang's defense will not be too bad.Therefore, at the very beginning, Wu Sangui never thought of fighting Shenyang.He just wanted to kill Hetuala.

This Hetuala city was built by the wild boar Pinurhachi in the 31st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.In the 44th year of Wanli, when Nurhachi was founded, it was established here as the capital.However, the capital was later moved to Shenyang. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the city of Hetuala was called Xingjing.

Although Hetuala City is no longer the capital of Jianlu, no matter what, the significance of this place to Jianlu is always very important.If it can be captured here, it will definitely be a great stimulus to Jianlu.

However, now that there are more than expected, there are more than 1000 cavalry pawns, and Kong Youde, who is familiar with Jianlu's situation, is the forward. Wu Sangui naturally changed his mind and tried to take a look at Shenyang.Even if they can't be defeated, the shock to Jianlu will be greater than that of defeating the city of Hetuala.Besides, what if it can be shot down?

It was about two hundred miles away. In order to hurry, Wu Sangui's troops traveled day and night.However, when they arrived at the boundary of Shenyang, Kong Youde, the striker who had been here many times, immediately sensed something was wrong, and did not continue to move forward. We should be one step too late! The Jianlu in Shenyang City, I'm afraid they got the news!"

Hearing this, Wu Sangui couldn't help being very disappointed.If he really can take down Shenyang, he, Wu Sangui, will get a lot of credit.But this matter is also God's will, and there is nothing to regret.

There are not enough troops, and there is no internal response. If you want to conquer a capital, it seems that it only exists in storytelling.

"Commander, why don't you give the general a try, in case Jianlu doesn't know the news about the general, then the general will be able to grab a city gate, so that the general can enter." Kong Youde thought for a while , please fight.

When Wu Sangui heard it, he couldn't help itching again, what if?
Thinking of this, he was moved, but at least with the confession of Emperor Chongzhen, he said hesitantly: "But if Jianlu already knows, it will be very dangerous for you to go."

The danger is certain, but Kong Youde did not hesitate, but immediately replied: "The emperor must be under great pressure when facing the soldiers of the Jianlu country. It doesn't matter if he takes some risks at the end. He can attract the main force of Jianlu back as soon as possible." Aid is also the last thing to do!"

Hearing this, Wu Sangui didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately agreed.

The cavalry came day and night, and they couldn't act immediately. At least they had to rest for a whole day to recover their strength before they could act.Otherwise, it is no different from sending a sheep to a tiger's mouth.

As Kong Youde expected, the city of Shengjing did receive news that something happened in the Liaohe Plain.

At this time, in Shengjing City, Dorgon, the regent, was not there, and the only prince who remained in the city was Prince Li Daishan.However, Daishan suffered a stroke, lying in his own mansion and waiting for God to take him in, he couldn't take charge at all.

Therefore, Bumbutai still listens to politics behind a curtain.Of course, the person who carried out the execution was Obai, the commander of the guards.

At this time, after listening to the emergency report of Tanma, Bumbutai was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he almost couldn't even sit still.

Although she has no military talent, she knows the importance of the Liaohe Plain to the Qing Dynasty.Before leaving, Dorgon gave her thousands of instructions, saying that after the grain harvest on the Liaohe Plain, at least half of the grain should be sent to the front line, otherwise, if the army lacked food, it would be impossible to fight.

Now it's good, on the Liaohe Plain, not to mention half of the grain, even a single grain, all of which was donated to the Ming army by Kong Youde.Now, not only worry about whether there is food for the army that is fighting, but also how to survive the coming winter?
To be honest, Bumbutai really got his mind after eating Kong Youde.On the one hand, she asked someone to expedite it by eight hundred miles, and hurriedly reported the situation to her uncle, the Prince Regent.At the same time, he said to Oboi: "If Qing leads the army to go, I don't know if we can get the food back?"

When she said this, she still had hope in case.It is really those grains that are really important to the Qing Dynasty!
"Queen Mother, I don't know how many Ming troops there are now." Aobai knelt and replied, "If the slaves lead the army away from Shengjing, what if the Ming army comes to attack Shengjing?"

Obai is not only brave, even though he really wants to get back the food, but when the enemy's situation is unknown, he dare not act rashly.

When Bumbutai heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little desperate, and said in a low voice, "Then there is no food, what should we do? The Qing Dynasty...is the Qing Dynasty going to perish?"

Only a woman like her can say this in a hurry.

Obai kowtowed quickly when he heard this, and told loudly: "Queen Mother, things are not that bad. What if uncle Regent has already wiped out the Ming army in Haizhou and captured the Ming emperor. At least the Ming emperor can be exchanged for food. "

"Yes, yes, yes..." Bumbutai couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard it, like a drowning man grabbing a handful of life-saving straws, and said repeatedly, "With the power of my uncle as the regent, it is definitely possible. Immediately pass the decree and seal He is the emperor's uncle and regent, so he must catch the Ming emperor!"

Regarding this, Obai naturally had no objection.Although he knew in his heart that the possibility of catching the Ming emperor was very small.

Sensing the empress dowager's worry, Oboi was about to try to persuade him, when suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside the hall, a man in a yellow jacket quickly stepped in, and shouted loudly: "Empress dowager, that rebel Kong Youde is calling the door outside the city!"

Upon hearing this, there was a sudden silence in Chongzheng Hall.Then, a ferocious look appeared on Aobai's face, and he said to Bumubutai: "Queen Mother, this must be the traitor Kong Youde who wants to trick the city gate into opening. The Ming army has already reached the outside of the city!"

"Ah..." When Bumbutai heard this, his face paled again. He didn't expect Shengjing to be attacked by the Ming army. "What should I do? What should I do..."

The dozing little Emperor Fulin was pleasantly surprised by the movement, and when he saw his mother flustered like this, he was immediately frightened, and immediately burst into tears.

Inside the Chongzheng Hall, it suddenly became very lively.

Seeing this, Obai felt a little helpless, and couldn't help but miss the time when the late emperor was still there.But at this time, he couldn't care less, so he played loudly: "The Kong thief thought that the city didn't know that he was a traitor, so the servant went ahead and killed him first!"

Bumubutai was completely out of ideas at this time, and was eager to coax the little emperor, so he nodded and said, "Okay, but you must not open the city gate, what will happen to the palace and the emperor if the Ming army rushes into the city? "

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, this servant knows it well!" Hearing this, Aobai immediately agreed, and then left in a hurry.

At this time, at the north gate of Shenyang City, Kong Youde led more than 100 people by the moat, shouting loudly for the gate to be opened from the top of the city: "Quickly open the city gate, my king has an urgent military situation to report."

However, on top of the city, soldiers were heavily guarded, but still no one responded.

Seeing this, his steward Kong Yong'an felt something was wrong. He quickly approached Kong Youde and whispered: "Master, I looked at the eyes of the captives on the top of the city looking at us, and something seems wrong!"

Kong Youde nodded, he felt the same way.Many of the guards on the top of the city are the honorable children of the Jianlu clan. This time the whole country is mobilized, and the troops are insufficient, so they have to take turns to guard Shenyang.At this moment, he stared at the city as if he was seeing an enemy.

In the past, Kong Youde could also receive jealous and contemptuous looks from Jianlu. After all, he was a Han, but he was named a king with a different surname by Huang Taiji, which was much higher than the treatment of their own clan.However, like today, everyone stared at him with hatred, wishing to eat him, he had never met.

If it is said that they knew that they had lost the grain on the Liaohe Plain and cut off their retreat, or it could explain one or two things.Although Kong Youde has found such a reason, he is still considered a mixed-up character, with a string in his heart, naturally he will not think about things wishfully.

Then, Kong Youde shouted loudly again: "The Ming army took advantage of my unpreparedness and attacked the king, and all the food was taken away by the Ming army. This battle is not the fault of the king. It is true that the strength of the Ming army is much higher than that of the king." My lord, open the door quickly, I want to report to the Empress Dowager to take back the food, if you delay and lose the opportunity to fight, you will be Manchurians, I will also ask the Queen Mother to convict you of delaying the military flight, why don't you open the door quickly?"

Hearing what he said, a young Niu Luerzhen on the top of the city couldn't bear it any longer, and yelled and cursed through gritted teeth: "Betray my Daqing, Kong thief, go to death!"

As he spoke, he unfurled his bow and set up an arrow, and shot the arrow at Kong Youde with his full of hatred.

Kong Youde was on guard all the time, seeing this movement, he immediately took off the shield hanging on the horse to block it, and blocked the arrow with a "ding".At the same time, he already knew that the Jianlu here already knew about his return to Daming, and it was no longer possible to open the city gate.

So, he quickly sent an order: "Withdraw!"

On the top of the city, seeing this situation, other Jianlu also shot arrows one after another.However, Kong Youde and his party were on the other side of the moat after all, and they were on guard. Therefore, they were only wounded by a few shots from the top of the city, and they all retreated out of the range of the bow and arrow.

On the main street in the city, Oboi came galloping, and when he heard the commotion on the top of the city, he immediately knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, after reaching the top of the city, I heard the guards at the top of the city shouting and cursing.

"Kong thief, if you have the ability to single out, I will definitely kill you!"

"Don't leave Kong Thief, I'm going to put ten thousand arrows through your heart!"

"Betray my Daqing, Kong thief will die!"

"..."

They were cursing one after another, and when they heard the movement behind them and saw that it was Oboi coming, many Jian captives complained indignantly, saying that it was a pity that they failed to kill Kong thief with one arrow!

Seeing this, Obai had a gloomy face, and after looking outside the city, he really wanted to curse.Is it that easy to shoot people to death if they shoot across a moat?At this time, he also understood in his heart.If the original elite were stationed at the city of Shengjing, such a thing would not have happened.These young soldiers are guarding the city for the first time because of this national mobilization order.

But at this time, things have already happened, and it is useless to say anything.

So, he shouted to Kong Youde in the distance: "King Shun, I have treated you well, why did you betray my Qing, where is your conscience?"

Kong Youde recognized Oboi on the top of the wall, and immediately replied loudly: "Jianlu killed tens of thousands of Han people in Liaodong, how many of my relatives and friends died at the hands of you?"

Speaking of this, he paused and then said: "The former emperor named me a king with a different surname. Didn't he see that I brought an artillery army, including artillery, casting skills, and warships that you don't have. Besides, Although I am a king with a different surname, how many troops do I have in my hand? I have been guarding against me all the time. Do you really think that this king is a king with a different surname? I can’t even eat a white flour steamed bun, is there such a king with a different surname?”

Aobai was still furious when he heard this, at this time, how could he think about the problem from Kong Youde's point of view, he immediately took action after verbally reprimanding him, known as the number one warrior in Manchuria, he shot with a strong bow , with all his rage.

But after all, it was too far away. Although the shot was accurate, it was still blocked by Kong Youde.

At this point, the two sides had nothing to say.Kong Youde turned his horse's head, and immediately turned back to join Wu Sangui.

"Marshal, the last general is incompetent and failed to win the city gate!" He pleaded guilty the first time he saw Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui felt a little regretful when he heard this, but on the surface he laughed and said, "It must be that the prisoner in the city has already known the situation, so it's okay, it's a good thing that you can return safely. If that's the case, I'll just follow the plan!"

If one set of plans fails, there is naturally another set of plans.

As a result, nearly [-] Ming troops were just outside Shenyang City, bluffing and abruptly creating movements of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.As long as Jianlu's clansmen who remained in the village outside the city were all defeated, they were taken to the head of the owl under the city of Shenyang, and showed to Jianlu on the top of the city.

In addition, Wu Sangui also sent people to dig the Fuling Tomb of Jianlu, trying to dig out the body of the wild boar Pi Nurhachi, so he opened the coffin and flogged the corpse under the city of Shenyang.What I didn't expect was that the wild boar skin was cremated, so it was changed to the second step of smashing the bones and ashes outside Shenyang City, scattering the ashes everywhere.

Faced with all kinds of atrocities committed by the Ming army outside the city, especially the scattering and trampling of Nurhachi's ashes, the Jianren in Shenyang City almost rioted and rushed out to fight to the death with the Ming army.Even Oboi who heard the sound and rushed to the top of the city could hardly hold him back, in the end it was Bumbutai who rushed to the top of the city himself to hold them down, he didn't dare to let them go out to fight.

However, what happened outside Shenyang City, there were some Tanmas who risked their lives to send news and rushed to Haizhou.
