Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 956 Decisive Battle 9
Beijing, Forbidden City.

The weather was gloomy, and Huang Taiji's complexion became even more gloomy, and that somewhat thin face was permeated with black air, which was the prelude to the storm.Under Majesty Dan, all civil and military officials knelt on the ground, silent like cicadas, especially the group of civil servants leading the way headed by Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong, each of them was like a toad that had been struck by lightning, their eyes could not be closed no matter how big they were. Even if they saw their wife and son having sex, they probably wouldn't be so surprised.

Don't blame them, who would have thought that when the capital was lost and the Qing army's iron cavalry swept across half of the country, the Ming army would still have such a strong combat effectiveness. The army was defeated steadily?

"The total strength of Lei Shisheng's troops is nearly 3, and they have already broken through Hongku Village and Feiying Village, heading straight for Yanqing Prefecture!"

"The main force of the Zhenglan Banner fought against the main force of the Ming army in Raoyang, and the casualties were extremely heavy!"

"Southern Suojie, who went south to support the Zhenglan Banner, encountered a night attack from the cavalry of the Heluo New Army in Dingxing and was defeated in one fell swoop!"

"The Tianxiong Army's Qian Yu Corps captured Hejian Mansion, and the defenders did not survive!"

"Sun Chuanting's troops raided Dezhou and Cangzhou, the defenders were caught off guard, and the two cities fell successively!"

"Denglai's new army is fully dispatched, approaching Jinan!"

"The [-]-strong navy of the Ming Army marched by land and water, approaching Nanjing!"

"Eighteen thousand infantry and cavalry troops of the Ming Army in Huaixi and Huaibei attacked Xuzhou, and Xuzhou's surrender troops rebelled overnight!"

"The Zhejiang Army is approaching Suzhou!"

……

Bad news flew over like a snowflake, and every such bad news was like a powerful slap in the face, making everyone present stare at each other.Everyone finds it unbelievable, how is this possible?They captured Beijing with ease before, and planted the battle flag in Nanjing in one fell swoop. They were invincible. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed suddenly, and it became so thorough! ?The Ming army obviously has such a strong combat power, why not fight them decisively in the Beijing-Tianjin area, but let them attack half of the country and then counterattack?Could it be that they have been played by the Ming army?
What an international joke!
"Rao Yu Baylor has already given up on Nanjing..."

It was another big bad news, which made everyone's minds buzzing.Abate actually gave up Nanjing and ran away with his tail between his legs?What a joke, doesn't he know how strong and heavy Nanjing is?This is Daming's accompanying capital, so just throw it away!Everyone stared at Huang Taiji in disbelief, and Huang Taiji's complexion was extremely gloomy, his gaze could be called terrifying, like a lion that chooses to eat someone, if Abate was here now, he would probably not hesitate He jumped on him, tore him to pieces, and then listened to his reasons for giving up Nanjing!Because it doesn't matter if Abatai gave up, he directly gave up the hope of the Qing army to rule the world!
Conquering the world is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. The more difficult the time is, the more you have to grit your teeth and not give an inch, because even if you take half a step later, your potential opponents may think that you have not been able to do what you want. They will swarm you and tear you to pieces. !Now Abatai threw Nanjing away without saying a word when the Ming army launched a massive counterattack. This is tantamount to telling the world that the Qing army is doomed. Even my companions dare not keep it!In case the Ming army from all walks of life responds and gathers under Yang Menglong's banner, the Qing army will not be drowned by them!
Hell, hell!
Hauge said angrily: "What the hell did Pu Luo do? What about his masculinity? Such an important city can be lost at will, has he lost all his heroism and turned into a woman?" !?" He originally wanted to scold Abate, but considering that he was Abate's junior, it was difficult to open his mouth, so he had to vent his anger on Pu Luo, who was of the same generation. How about it?Don't scold for nothing.

Sahalian also said: "It is too hasty to give up Nanjing so easily! How can such a famous city be abandoned lightly!"

All the generals of the Qing army spoke out one after another, expressing their dissatisfaction with Abate's reckless abandonment of Nanjing.They understand Abatai’s difficulties. There are only so many Qing troops going south. From Shandong to Jiangsu, they line up along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, forming a long snake formation. The Ming army may cut this long snake into several pieces at any time. , If you like braised in soy sauce, cook in soy sauce;There are too few troops and too many places to occupy. Now that the Ming army is fighting back fiercely, Abate seems to have no better way than actively shrinking and concentrating his troops.But your old man shrinks and shrinks, so you can't just throw Nanjing away without saying a word, at least stick to it for ten days and a half months, and withdraw after a serious setback to the Ming army, right?What you have to face is only the army of the Zheng Group, not the terrifying Heluo New Army and Tianxiong Army, what are you afraid of?The general with a more violent temper even yelled that he wanted to punish Abate severely, and he wondered if Abate would scold them for standing and talking because their backs hurt.

Huang Taiji finally spoke: "Shut up! The most important thing now is to come up with countermeasures to deal with the Ming army's massive counterattack, not to criticize!"

The ministers had to shut up.

Huang Taiji set his sights on Jierharang——Hao Ge let him ignore it, this guy has muscles in his brain, it is no problem to let him charge forward, but let him participate in the planning and strategy. I can't get through it myself.He asked: "The situation is critical now, Prince Zheng, what countermeasures do you have?"

Jierhalang frowned, bowed his hands to Huang Taiji, and said: "My Majesty, the Ming army is coming fiercely, especially the Heluo Xin army and Tianxiong army, it is like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, unstoppable, and the slaves will not be able to resist for a while." Can't think of a way to do it."

Huang Taiji said angrily: "The Ming army is unstoppable, our army is just a chicken and a dog, let them knead it!"

Jierhalang shuddered, knelt down quickly, and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"

Huang Taiji turned his attention to Fan Wencheng, his most trusted adviser: "Scholar Fan, the situation is critical. What good plan do you have?"

Fan Wencheng was also confused.He is naturally an expert in conspiracies and tricks, but this kind of head-to-head contest with hundreds of thousands of troops is not his specialty. The Ming army is extremely fierce. The offensive is like quicksilver. Even veteran generals such as Jierhalang, Abatai, Sakhalian, and Dege are at a loss what to do. What ideas can he have?He bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Ming army seems to be coming fiercely, but in fact there are dangers inside. Once these crises break out, the army they have assembled with great difficulty may be torn apart overnight and wiped out!"

Huang Taiji became interested: "Oh? Can Aiqing elaborate?"

Fan Wencheng sorted out his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the Ming army is nothing to worry about. Our army only needs to frustrate their spirit once, and they will kill each other. If they are not defeated, they will be defeated..."

Hauge snorted: "It will be nonsense! If the Ming army is so easy to deal with, why should we have such a headache!"

Fan Wencheng smiled and said: "Prince Su doesn't know something! Yang Menglong risked the world to set up a new king when Chongzhen was still alive, and he abolished the prince and established the king of Tang. This is already putting himself in a position of failure." The king of Tang is not from the Yan family, and he has no qualifications to inherit the great rule. Yang Menglong insisted on setting him up. How does it make the princes of the world feel? How does Zhu Youjian feel? What does the scholar of the world think? It is shaking the foundation of Ming Dynasty, this is the most terrible mistake! Our army does not need to confront them head-on, as long as we stick to the fortified city to block them, there will be troubles among them! If we can secretly buy famous people in the field and stir up the tide, Yang Menglong will die overnight There will be enemies on all sides, and the morale of Heluo's new army will disappear, and our army will win without a fight!"

Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, and he said, "Ai Qing is right! It's just that the counterattack momentum of the Ming army is too strong. It's not easy to resist their offensive!"

Fan Wencheng said: "This is not what Wei Chen is good at."

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, but still accepted Fan Wencheng's suggestion.There is no way, he is really not sure that he can defeat Yang Menglong head-on. This time when he entered the pass, the Qing army has already mobilized, and the warriors of the whole family are here. If he confronts Yang Menglong head-on, even if he wins, the casualties will be extremely heavy. He couldn't afford such a price, so he could only try to see if he could use tricks to kill this terrible opponent.

For this commander who has experienced many battles and rarely fails, it is a shame and a tragedy to rely on conspiracy and tricks, but he really has no better way.

Naturally, Wen Tiren and the others would not be idle. They were ordered to mobilize the forces of the Donglin Party, try their best to agitate the tide, and try to stir up internal fighting in the Ming army.The flaw that Yang Menglong exposed this time was really big. With the energy of the Donglin Party, it was really not difficult at all to mobilize the people of the world to attack him by drowning him with saliva.But does this trick work?Even Wen Tiren himself was not sure.After leaving the court, he returned home with a heavy heart and locked himself in his study without saying a word. The servants came over and asked him if he was feeling uncomfortable. He was immediately scolded and everyone was frightened and did not dare to approach him again. , wait until he is tired of venting.

Just as he was sullen, Wang Yingxiong came.Like Wen Tiren, the former assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty was also disheartened, with a mournful face, as if his mother had died.After sitting down, he let out a long sigh, and said to Wen Tiren: "The situation has changed suddenly. The man surnamed Yang has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and he has appointed the king of Tang as the new king. Look at his ruthless appearance. If you don't take back Beijing, you can conquer Shenyang." I have vowed not to give up, and the Qing army does not seem to be sure of victory, so what should I do?"

Wen Tiren drank the wine and sighed: "Mistake, misstep! I've been planning everything, and I've thought of everything, but I just didn't expect that this thief would have such a charisma. When he climbed up, hundreds of thousands of troops were killed in an instant. After the assembly is over... I never thought that the Qing army would be so ruthless. When they met this thief, they retreated steadily and even dared not defend Nanjing! Mistake, what a mistake!"

Wang Yingxiong smiled wryly: "What's the use of saying this now? We are already grasshoppers on the same rope with the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty fails, we will die without a place to die!" With a fierce look, he gritted his teeth and said: "So, no matter what, we can't let that thief come over, he must die!"

Yes, Yang Menglong must die!Even if what Yang Menglong is doing now is to recover the rivers and mountains, expel the enemy, and save this dying empire, he must die!Because he doesn't die, these traitorous scholar-bureaucrats must die!

Wen Tiren shot Wang Yingxiong a look, and asked, "You have a way to kill him, right?"

Wang Yingxiong was speechless.Even the Qing army did not dare to confront Yang Menglong head-on. How could he kill Yang Menglong?Buy assassins?Just kidding, after being tricked once, will Yang Menglong fall for the same trick again?
But, if he doesn't die, they all have to die, what should I do!

Thunder rolled in the sky, and the thunder shook the heaven and the earth. The two former important gods trembled in the wrath of the God of Thunder.
