Chapter 113 The Bitter Imperial Taiji
After conceding this, the emperor hated that Dorgon was too stupid and stupid to the extreme extent, but it was easy to say, but it was not easy to do. If it were him, he would take 100,000 troops to enter the customs, toss around for half a year, and took people straight into the hinterland of Daming, which was difficult. Bala's attack broke through dozens of towns.
It's not easy to capture so many people and goods, and they will lose them in a word. I'm afraid that even he is not easy to make this decision. In addition, Dorgom must have been influenced by the subordinate generals. Even if he is willing to get rid of these people and goods, I'm afraid that those Mongolian ministries will not be willing to give up, including the generals of the flags. I can't give up either.
So although Huang Taiji can figure it out, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for him to have such a determination and order under the broken wrist at that time.
And through the words of the defeated soldiers who fled back, he also realized the power of Yu's army. Yu's army used a tactic that they were completely unfamiliar with and some weapons that they were completely unfamiliar with, gaining an overwhelming advantage on the field battlefield and gaining an unseeable combat power.
Such Yu's army is almost invincible. Not to mention the soldiers and horses under Dorcon's command at that time, even if they add the three elites under his command, I'm afraid they may not be the opponents of Yu's army.
At this time, their Houjin was in trouble, and Yu Xiaotian was rumored to be the head of the Fujian Sea Wolf Group, which did business with them. Huang Taiji began to be a little confused as to why Yu Xiaotian was embarrassed with their Houjin and suddenly made trouble to them.
But after careful consideration, he found that this time, the Jin army served as an excellent stepping stone for Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian made full use of the hatred of the Ming Dynasty and the people for building slaves. First, he defeated their army and won the hearts and public opinion, and then turned against the Ming court. It will not attract the unanimous accusations of the Ming Dynasty.
So their Houjin was used to death by Yu Xiaotian this time. After Huang Taiji figured this out, he trembling angrily and scolded Yu Xiaotian for being insidious.
Sure enough, soon after he learned the news of the destruction of his army entering the customs, he heard the news that the Ming court sent troops to fight with the Yu family army a few days after the defeat of the Jin army.
But to everyone's surprise, Yu Xiaotian was not defeated because he had just had a fierce battle with their Jin army. On the contrary, he defeated both Ming officials and soldiers and also killed Wu Xiang, the general of Guanning.
Then Yu Xiaotian hit the flag on the side of the Qing Dynasty and wanted to enter the capital of the Ming Dynasty with great fanfare.
This confirmed all Huang Taiji's conjectures and confirmed that Yu Xiaotian led his troops to the north this time. He did use their Houjin and serve them as a stepping stone. Huang Taiji sighed and guessed that even the Ming court would be in trouble. Maybe Yu Xiaotian would change the banner of the Ming Dynasty this time. The usurpation of the throne was successful.
But no matter how accurate he guessed, now their slaves are facing big trouble. After learning the news, it turned out that they were still staring at Guan Jin and Huang Taiji, who wanted to fight against Guan Jin. After crying, they didn't even fart. Lima led his troops back to Shengjing Shenyang, because he knew They are in big trouble.
From now on, it is not the time for them to trouble others everywhere, but someone will come to trouble them at any time, especially the Mongolian ministries. I guess they will continue to be a dog for Houjin this time.
There are also Chao-Xian. After learning this news, he will definitely not be as calm and obedient as before, but will find a way to go back to their former master Daming.
Therefore, Huang Taiji decided to do it first. Before all parties could react, after returning to Shengjing, he immediately sent troops to Chaoxian first, forcing the king of Chaoxian to give them another batch of grain, forcing the Chaoxian king to 100,000 taels of silver, and almost hang the Chaoxian king, and then the soldiers were in the dynasty again- The western states of Xian plundered and robbed tens of thousands of dynasties and brought them back to Liaodong.
As for the Mongolian ministries, Huang Taiji was not idle. He sent people to contact the Mongolian ministries while instigating their relationship, which made the Mongolian departments bite their own dogs first and fight, and for a while, they could not attack their Houjin for the time being.
In addition, Huang Taiji also learned the news from the customs. Yu Xiaotian successfully invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty, finally controlled the government of the Ming Dynasty, put Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty under house arrest in the palace, and blood washed the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, arrested and killed a large number of Ming Dynasty officials, and successfully became the prisoner of the Ming Dynasty. Country.
This is a little different from Huang Taiji's original prediction. Originally, he thought that after Yu Xiaotian entered Beijing, he might plot to usurp the throne and subvert the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that Yu Xiaotian is more vicious than he originally expected.
Yu Xiaotian is still holding back now. Instead, he has to completely dismember the Ming Dynasty with a soft knife, and then slowly eat the Ming Dynasty step by step. He now wants to clean the interior of the Ming Dynasty in the name of Emperor Chongzhen, and gradually control all parts of the Ming Dynasty in his hands, and wait for him to completely control the interior of the Ming Dynasty. When Pingjing came down, I'm afraid it was time for Yu Xiaotian to kick Chongzhen away and announce his accession to the world.
Although Huang Taiji is very smart and can see through Xiao Jiujiu in Yu Xiaotian's stomach, no matter how smart he is now, he can't get back his current predicament.
So Huang Taiji also quickly lowered his posture and sent people to Guannei for many times to vote for Yu Xiaotian, claiming that they were willing to serve as a vassal state of the court in Guan and never rebelled against the court in Guan.
Huang Taiji only mentioned that he was willing to be the vassal king of the court in Guan, but he never mentioned the Ming court. He just wanted to show his kindness to Xiaotian and told Yu Xiaotian that he did not care whether Yu Xiaotian would be emperor in the future. Even if Yu Xiaotian became emperor, he was willing to pay tribute to Yu Xiaotian, not just for the Ming court.
But he sent people into the customs many times to submit letters to Yu Xiaotian, but they were like sinking into the sea and did not receive any reply. Yu Xiaotian completely ignored his suggestions, as if he had not heard his demands at all.
Gradually, Huang Taiji realized that things were probably very troublesome and spy more about Xiaotian. Later, from the news that he spent a lot of money on, he found a thing that made him feel extremely horrible, that is, it is rumored that what Yu Xiaotian hated most in his life was their slaves, which seemed to have a kind of them. Jiannu's strong sense of hostility has been repeatedly said in front of people that it also destroyed their Jiannu, and said that their Jiannu is the biggest enemy of China, which is not enough to eliminate future trouble.
In this way, Huang Taiji knew why he repeatedly sent letters to Yu Xiaotian and lowered his voice to express his willingness to bow down, but he did not get any response from the other party.
In addition, through some channels, he also learned that the group of pirates who now occupy Lushun Fort is actually the power of Yu Xiaotian, but a nail laid by Yu Xiaotian.
When Huang Taiji heard the news, he suddenly became furious and ordered to kill those Fujian people who did business with them in Liaodong. In addition, he mobilized heavy troops to attack Lushun Fort and completely pulled the nail out of Liaodong to avoid future trouble.
But when the people sent to arrest people came back, he knew that in fact, those Fujian people who did business with them had already slipped away in advance. In their warehouse, the people left were basically hired local people in Liaodong, which had nothing to do with them at all. Under Huang Taiji's anger, he still made an order. Kill all these people to vent their personal anger.
As for the soldiers and horses sent to attack Lushun Fort, not to mention that Lushun Fort has been managed into a strong castle by sea wolves over the years. The city wall has been raised and strengthened a lot. In addition, many artillery bases have been built, and the original city wall has been rebuilt to build a strangely shaped angular fortress, almost There are no dead corners in all directions.
In addition, in Lushun Fort, about 800 Yujia's navy troops are stationed and equipped with dozens of various types of cannons. In Lushun Port, there are also three resident medium-sized gunships. Each gunboat is also equipped with more than 20 guns of various types, basically more than half of them are 24 pounds of heavy guns. One can Patrol the sea area around Lushunkou, prepare for Jiannu to attack from the sea by boat, and the other can help guard Lushun Fort.
As a result, the slave army sent to attack Lushun Fort was sad. After the 5,000 blue-flag soldiers and horses were sent, they were beaten into a pot of porridge within a day. Even Azig, the commander sent to lead the siege of the city, was directly smashed by the cannon outside the castle. He only picked up a pile of rotten meat, and his head was left. He died I can't die anymore.
Five Qing soldiers were killed and injured on the spot, more than half of whom were lost, and the rest were attacked by the seamen in the castle. As a result, the flags were scattered and fled. They escaped dozens of miles before they recovered.
Huang Taiji learned the power of the Yu family army again. In a hurry, he quickly issued an order to gather all the skilled craftsmen of the whole Qing Dynasty, hurriedly cast the Hongyi cannon, and find a way to build the bird guns used by the Ming army to compete with the Yu family army next.
Through this defeat in the Qing army, Huang Taiji realized that with their previous cavalry, bows and arrows and knives and guns, it was not enough to fight against the new army under Yu Xiaotian's command. The other party's sharp firearms have exceeded his understanding of firearms. If he wants to compete with them, he can only use fire. The weapons restrained the firearms of the family army, otherwise they would no longer have the capital to compete with the family army at all.
At this time, Jiannu plundered the customs and captured the population outside the customs. There were many Ming craftsmen. Naturally, some of these craftsmen knew how to cast cannons, and some people knew how to make birds.
For the Hongyi cannon, some people have seen how to cast, and have some understanding of the shape and casting method of the Hongyi cannon. Although Yu Xiaotian prevented Kong Youde from defecting to build slaves before, they still tried their best to obtain the casting technology of Hongyi cannon. Of course, they are just not very proficient in it. The craftsmanship of the Hongyi cannon is simple and clumsy, but on the whole, it is still the Hongyi cannon, and its power should not be underestimated, but the quality is really a little worrying.
