Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 255

King Gongshun, that is, Kong Youde, was originally the general of Dongjiang Town. After Mao Wenlong died, he followed Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua and became his new army.

As a result, Kong Youde rebelled and took this new army of firearms, including the artisans who made guns and cannons, to surrender to Jianlu.

On Jianlu's side, there was a shortage of firearms troops, and this Kong Youde happened to be sent to his door. The slave chief Taiji was overjoyed, and immediately named him King Gongshun, and Geng Zhongming who was with him was King Huaishun.It can be seen from this that Kong Youde is definitely the timely rain for Huang Taiji!
Facts have also proved that since Kong Youde surrendered Jianlu, the shortcomings of Jianlu's attack on the city were immediately made up for.

For a strong city like Jinzhou, Jianlu was still unable to capture it, and it was no longer a problem for smaller cities.

A simple example, in the early years of Chongzhen, when Jianlu entered the pass, most of them were helpless against the city.It's just Changli at the county level, under the whole-hearted resistance of the army and the people, Jianlu couldn't take it no matter what.

And later, with regard to Chongzhen's 15-year invasion, Jianlu almost attacked any city, that is, that city was defeated, a total of 88 cities were conquered, and six cities were forced to surrender.

It can be seen from this that after Kong Youde's firearms army was included in the Jianlu army, how much impact it had on the pass!
At this time, Kong Youde was also confident and confident.

Abatai didn't have any doubts about this, and nodded immediately, affirming Kong Youde's words.

Afterwards, he said to Turg: "You lead 3 horses and a total of [-] from the Mongolian tribes. Divide troops from Yanmen and Shicheng to attack Huangyakou Pass, and deter Ming Miyun's general army. If you just face the battle, you will be defeated." He dared not go out, so he headed east and joined forces with the troops led by the king to attack Jizhou."

"The last general obeys!" Turger immediately responded loudly with confidence.

His full name is Niu Hulu Turge, a man with a white banner, and he is the eighth son of Edu, the first of the five founding ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty.Fighting has started since the wild boar pinuerhachi meeting, and now he is not only Gushan Ezhen with the white flag, but also the minister of the interior. From the first-rank general, the minister of the interior assists in leading the guards and guarding the emperor. His status is quite respected.

It can be said that these positions of his are basically earned by his military exploits.In other words, it was obtained from the Ming army.

Therefore, Turge is the clearest about the situation of the Ming army.For the task that Abatai gave, he immediately agreed, without thinking about it at all.

Because he knew very well that after the Battle of Songjin, the army that could fight in the Ming Dynasty was gone!
This understanding is not just him alone, but almost everyone present thinks so.

If the Ming Kingdom really had an army capable of fighting, it would be absolutely impossible not to send them out in the Songjin Battle that lasted for nearly half a year.Otherwise, a fool would just watch the 12 army wiped out and remain indifferent.

The reason for this is only one sentence, that is, Ming has no other reinforcements to send.

As for the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the pass, they can't even beat a thief. How can they shake the invincible Qing army?
Even though there are many people in the Ming Kingdom, it has only been half a year. If you want to say that the Ming Kingdom can rebuild a strong army, unless there are gods to help, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible!
However, are there any gods in this world?Even if there is, they won't meddle in Ming's business.Otherwise, it's time to show up!

So, just like that, after a military discussion, the combat intention of entering the customs was assigned to seven or eight.

Almost all the Jian captives, or Mongolian Tartars, all excitedly rolled up their sleeves, their eyes glistened, and they were gearing up, waiting for the moment of entering the customs!

Grain, supplies, livestock, women, etc., seem to be at your fingertips, just waiting for them to do it.

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

Compared to their confidence, the other brother is just confused and confused.

This person is Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan.

In the original history, at this time, by throwing money at this time, not only did he not get convicted for fleeing, but he was transferred to the safer Shanhaiguan as the general soldier.

However, on this plane, because of the butterfly effect, the Emperor Chongzhen investigated corruption and arrested Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, and others.

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with the situation, and he also heard that Emperor Chongzhen had made a lot of money, so he wanted to make a fuss, let the court know his weight, and knock out another sum of money by the way.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen sent an imperial envoy to verify the situation.What was even more surprising was that the imperial envoy, Xie Xuelong, seemed to be a rigid fool, so he really had to check a little bit, and was extremely serious.

At first, Wu Sangui thought he wanted to benefit, because he had heard and seen this kind of thing, and it was commonplace for Daming officials!
For this reason, it is just to give money, but unexpectedly, oil and salt are not allowed, and they will go their own way.

In this situation, Wu Sangui endured it for a while, and then became a little angry.Immediately sent a letter to his father, wanting to clean up this Xie Xuelong.

But in the end, his father didn't let him do anything, saying that there was a change in the court and he had to be cautious.

His uncle Zu Dashou had been arrested and taken to Jianlu's side. He was in charge of the Guan Ning Army. He had no one to discuss with, so he could only listen to his father.

For this reason, Wu Sangui continued to endure for a while.

However, he found that Xie Xuelong actually started to check the field of the guard, which made him uneasy again.

Because the guards from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou are almost all under the control of the Guanning army, which is the sphere of influence of their Zuwu family, and the good farmland has long been divided by them.

But Wu Sangui remembered his father's explanation anyway, so he didn't dare to do it first, he just wrote to ask his father's opinion.

Unexpectedly, before his father's reply letter arrived, the White Pole Army actually came.

The imperial court sent the newly named loyal Marquis Qin Liangyu to lead [-] white soldiers into Shanhaiguan. This was not something he could refuse, after all, he was still in Ningyuan City.

Even if he was in Shanhaiguan, with Xie Xuelong around, unless Wu Sangui rebelled and staged a mutiny, there would be no reason not to let the white-armed army who came by order enter the city.

What made Wu Sangui a little flustered was that, according to the will, the Baigan Army was informed by Xie Xuelong, and Guan Ning's army was unstable.

What made him even more dumbfounded was that his father's urgent letter was delivered to him almost at the same time as Baiganjun.

In this letter, his father scolded him, thinking that if his wings were hardened, he could not listen to his father's words.I told him not to make small moves, and wait until he observed the situation in the court, so why didn't he listen?

For this, Wu Sangui felt very wronged, more wronged than Dou E.He was doing nothing, and Xie Xuelong was also cheerful, looking harmless to humans and animals, why did he wrong him so much!
In the letter, Wu Xiang told Wu Sangui about the situation, saying that he was [-]% sure that there was a huge change in the military situation in the palace.It should be that a large number of fine steel armors were built and equipped with the white pole army.

Before Ma Xianglin's troops were able to win big battles, there was a rumor that they had received five or six thousand sets of armor from the emperor; There is also a long line of vehicles, operating things to the white pole army.

Wu Xiang suspected that the things in the car might be the legendary fine steel armor.

However, Wu Xiang himself was a little confused about getting such news.

First of all, even if the emperor obtained so much money and food by raiding his home, it would not be an overnight achievement if he wanted to replace it with fine steel armor.According to the information obtained, if they were all armors, the Baigan Army would have obtained tens of thousands of pairs of fine steel armors at once. To be honest, Wu Xiang felt that this was impossible.

Another reason is that after all, the Baigan army is the chieftain army. Now this chieftain, no matter whether it is Qin Liangyu or Ma Xianglin, is indeed loyal to the court, but who knows, will the follow-up chieftain be against the court? ?
Once they become enemies of the imperial court, the chieftain army with tens of thousands of pairs of fine steel armor will become extremely terrifying!
Wu Xiang did not believe that the current emperor would be a fool and would not consider such consequences.How dare he really give the chieftain so much steel armor?

Unless there is a possibility that the chieftain army has so many armors, but the imperial court is still sure that once it becomes an enemy, it can defeat the chieftain army.

Then it may be that the army on the imperial court's side has a pair of fine steel armor, which is far more numerous than the white-armed army!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiang was dumbfounded, this is absolutely impossible!

In the letter to Wu Sangui, he also told Wu Sangui about this inconsistency.

In short, Wu Xiang still can't see clearly what the emperor is doing, what does he want to do?
Therefore, he repeatedly urged Wu Sangui not to engage in petty tricks!

As for farming, you can abandon it when necessary. As long as you have military power in your hands, you can also have money and power after finding out the situation!
If you don't know the situation, if there is a conflict with the court, it will only be the Wu family who will suffer.

Today's emperor is no better than before, he likes to ransack the house, once he is guilty, it is no longer just to punish the person involved, but to ransack the house, and the whole family will decline because of this!
From the letter, Wu Sangui saw his father's confusion and worry. In desperation, he finally decided to follow his father's orders.

At the same time, on the capital's side, all places in the south of the Yangtze River, including Yingtian Mansion, were threatened by the thieves and sent petitions for help to the capital.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was still the same as before, shouting to them to "hold up, hold up", while setting up the Beijing camp and the Yongwei camp every three days.

It can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen is really impatient, staring at Yongweiying and Jingying so much, what else can he say?
If possible, Emperor Chongzhen probably would have sent troops south.

Of course they didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen's purpose was actually not what they thought.
