Chapter 133 The confidence of Hong Taiji's victory
Yang Sichang no longer lamented that Wan Ji was gone, and he ordered: "Concentrate on monitoring the battle situation of Zhang Biwu and Zuo Liangyu against Zhang Pie. If there is any information, I must report it to me quickly! Zuo Liangyu, you must destroy Zhang Xianzhong! After all, Jinzhou is in danger now! The emperor is worried about this! You will destroy Zhang Xianzhong, and I will eliminate you arrogant generals and I will rectify the military discipline, so that our Ming army will be greatly boosted. This army will either go to the Central Plains to destroy Li and Cao Piece, or go north to rescue Liao Jin! As such, the overall situation will be decided! ZTE is expected to be realized!"
When Yang Shansong heard this, he also looked at the north. He knew that the situation in the north was very critical.
Yes! In the northern Jinzhou, in March of the 13th year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji ordered Jiergalang and Duoduo to lead troops not far from Jinzhou to build Yizhou City, so that places in the Ningjin area could not be cultivated.
Huang Taiji even went to Yizhou City in person. He personally checked the situation of building the city. He even raised artillery to conquer the beacon tower and quickly cleared the Ming army posts around Jinzhou City.
Although Zu Dashou once led his army out of the city to cooperate with the Ming army from Songshan, Xingshan and Tashan to defeat the Qing army and kill many Qing soldiers.
When Huang Taiji heard this, he immediately strengthened his troops. Manchu, Mongolian and Han came to attack the city, and incited the Mongolian people in Jinzhou to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. For this reason, they could cooperate inside and outside and captured the outer city of Jinzhou. Zu Dashou had to retreat to the inner city, and the situation became even more critical, so he could only ask Chongzhen for help.
In March, the Qing army began to siege the city, but the Qing army was the master of the field. Although the Qing army began to develop a large number of firearms, it only occupied the outer city and was not in a hurry to attack the inner city.
Chongzhen urgently ordered Hong Chengchou to lead Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Ke, Wang Tingchen, and Wu Sangui's eight generals to quickly rescue Jinzhou.
A decisive battle against the fate of the Ming and Qing Dynasties began in the late Ming Dynasty! The Qing Dynasty also spread its strength to the country and also used more than 100,000 troops to fight Hong Chengchou's 130,000 troops.
Hong Chengchou is the elite troops of the nine sides! If all the troops were defeated, it would be a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty. After all, the main elite military force that the Ming Dynasty relied on was Song Jin's elite troops of the nine sides!
Huang Taiji was not in a hurry. He was already confident. He could defeat Hong Chengchou and his 130,000 troops. He knew that Hong Chengchou's best plan was to keep his troops in motion. After the Qing army's aura was lost, he would find a gap to fight to a decisive battle. He should not be in a hurry to fight. Stabilizing is the best strategy, but Chongzhen would not give Hong Chengchou a chance.
Chongzhen kept urging the war, and appointed Zhang Ruoqi, the head of the Ministry of War Department, as the military supervisor, and constantly urged Hong Chengchou to go to war. Hong Chengchou's steady strategy could not be implemented at all. Zhang Ruoqi also controlled Hong Chengchou everywhere, so Hong Chengchou had to go to war. He was afraid that he would be blamed by Chongzhen.
Huang Taiji seemed to have seen Hong Chengchou being captured, and even his Eighth Generals were captured. He smiled happily. He knew that this would be realized soon! What's more, Zhang Ruoqi was urging the battle to tie Hong Chengchou's hands and feet?
At this time, Fei Yangguo had already returned to Liaodong, and as a general, he was about to go to Jinzhou, hoping to make military contributions.
Huang Taiji looked at Fei Yangguo and asked, "Is Zhang Biwu really not able to go to Liaodong?" Fei Yangguo replied, "Your Majesty, Chongzhen is so suspicious of Zhang Biwu! In addition, he is now appointed to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang, and he can't come if he wants to come!"
Huang Taiji took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder if he can wait until the day when he heard that our army had defeated the Ming army! Because I heard that he and Zuo Liangyu worked together to defeat Zhang Xianzhong, Zhang Xianzhong was forced to be desperate! Zuo Liangyu is the person Yang Sichang hated the most. The most powerful thing about Yang Sichang is that he is very good at killing those who have made meritorious deeds. Yang Sichang will definitely take the risk to kill Zhang Biwu and Zuo Liangyu! Can Zhang Biwu escape this disaster this time?"
"Ah!" Fei Yangguo's body trembled because of this. Huang Taiji asked with interest: "What's wrong?" Fei Yangguo smiled bitterly and said: "No! Your Majesty, I have nothing! It's just a pity! I can't kill Zhang Biwu so many times. I really want to have a chance to kill him!"
Huang Taiji couldn't help but smile, stepped forward and patted Fei Yangguo's shoulder, and said, "Okay! You just need to make military achievements in the Battle of Jinzhou! Do you know? Hong Chengchou is coming! Hong Chengchou never thought that I would wait for him! Moreover, Yuan Shao's defeat in Cao Cao and Yuan Shao during the battle of Guandu will be his turn! Haha! The person he trusts most will catch him, and there will be a good show at that time!"
Huang Taiji clenched his fists tightly and said, "I must capture Hong Chengchou! He is the biggest important official in the Southern Dynasties! He is also the most talented person in the Southern Dynasties! He will be the leader of our Qing Dynasty to enter the Central Plains! I can't let Hong Chengchou be like Zhang Chun!"
Fei Yangguo nodded clearly and said, "Yes! Your Majesty, I will definitely help the Emperor to capture Hong Chengchou!"
Huang Taiji glanced at Fei Yangguo and said, "Okay! Go and see your fourteenth brother! Hee!" Fei Yangguo went out.
Huang Taiji looked at his back and twisted his neck and said, "Dorgon, Fei Yangguo, you must help me break Jinzhou! I know you are not really helping me, of course you also know how wary I am of you, but I have to! I will deal with you after the Battle of Songjin ends!"
Huang Taiji looked south from afar and thought to himself: "Zhang Biwu, will you really die? To be honest, I feel a pity if I lack you as an opponent! But it doesn't matter, I will have Dorgon and Concubine Zhuang! Ha! I just don't know how Lan'er is doing now? I really miss her!"
Huang Taiji remembered Hai Lanzhu. He had a very deep relationship with Hai Lanzhu, but unfortunately, the Eighth Prince whom he and Hai Lanzhu were born unfortunately died in the end.
At this moment, a letter arrived. This was a letter from Batto. The letter clearly stated that Yang Sichang wanted to kill Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Biwu when they wanted to kill Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Biwu when they were exterminated by Zhang Xianzhong together.
What Barto wanted to do was to prevent Yang Sichang from setting up a plan to prevent Zuo Liang Yujun from being stopped after hearing the main general was killed. All he wanted was Zuojun's mutiny, and now he would do it.
"Okay! Very good! As long as the left army mutiny and the general is killed, the south of the Ming Dynasty will be even more chaotic, which is better for me! Adding to the military failure in the north, what else can the Ming Dynasty make the best of it?" Huang Taiji was in a good mood!
Yes! As Bato said, Bato was working hard to prepare, and even Bato infiltrated into Yang Sichang's personal army. Yang Sichang and his men had no idea about Bato's existence.
Yang Sichang was checking the terrain, and he kept pointing at him, very happy! He looked so energetic, as if the overall situation was in his control.
The soldiers came to report: "Zhang Biwu and Zuo Liangyu have defeated Zhang Xianzhong. They are now coming to report their victory to the court! And the Tang newspaper that reported the victory to the court has been written. They originally wanted to send it out, but we intercepted it."
When Yang Sichang heard this, he was excited and said, "Okay! I will immediately order the headquarters to prepare a banquet. I will have a good banquet for the meritorious soldiers!"
Yang Sichang looked again and saw that the people from the Beijing camp were still entering important parts as he ordered.
"Report! Governor Ding's return, his troops are already close to the Zuo Army! The Chu Army is also close!" The messenger came to report to him again. Yang Sichang smiled again. He was happy. This was the result he wanted!
"Haha!" Yang Sichang couldn't help laughing loudly, and Yang Sichang's laughter resounded throughout the sky.
Batto looked at all this and thought to himself: "Yang Sichang is ready! Everything is ready, Zhang Biwu and the others did not notice that as long as Yang Sichang attacked, he could kill Zhang Biwu and Zuo Liangyu!"
At this time, a general next to him said to Barto: "Ren Cheng! Why don't you go and invite Zuo Shuai!"
Ren Cheng was the pseudonym of Batto in the Ming army. "Yes!" Batto went immediately. He was extremely excited. Of course, he also had ears in the left army. At that time, as long as Zhang Biwu and Zuo Liangyu were killed by Yang Sichang, the news would soon spread throughout the army, and no one could stop it. The Left Army mutiny because of the killing of the main general. This would also make it easy for Zhang Xianzhong to obtain the mutiny left army. The best result that Batto expected by Zhang Xianzhong to obtain the mutiny army, and he would not be destroyed. He would be able to harm the Ming Dynasty with Li Zicheng, and let the Ming Dynasty fall into the bandits and the Qing Dynasty.
Under the leadership of a side general of the Left Army, Batto blew into the Left Army's tent like a gust of wind. After finishing his military salute, Batto said: "Mr. Zhentai, General Zhang, and Yanggemen asked you to go to the head of the supervisor and assistant ministers to celebrate the victory. You have prepared a banquet to celebrate the victory! After the victory of this battle, Zhang's strength has been greatly reduced, and it is not far from defeating Zhang's thief!"
Zhang Biwu and Zuo Liangyu smiled. They were just ready to go to Yang Sichang's headquarters. Anyway, they were not wary of it. Yang Sichang should not be able to do anything to them. Moreover, they also heard that all the generals went to Yang Sichang's headquarters.
Zhang Biwu and Zuo Liangyu were heading towards Yang Sichang's headquarters under the escort of a very small number of personal soldiers.
Although he was very calm along the way, Zhang Biwu's heart was beating, and he always had an ominous premonition. Moreover, he saw that the troops at the headquarters had increased. When he came, Zhang Biwu saw that among these soldiers were the troops from the Beijing camp!
Yang Sichang transferred the troops from the Beijing camp. What did he want to do? And why was he so cautious?
Zhang Biwu couldn't help but feel more and more afraid. Originally, Yang Sichang had 5,000 troops in Biao Camp, but now, with the troops in Jing Camp, he had more than 10,000 troops stationed at the headquarters. With this 10,000 people, it would be much easier for Yang Sichang to harm them!
