Chapter 2127: Burning everything down
Chen Baxian would rebel, which was reasonable but also unexpected.
The reason why Chen Baxian surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was that he was shunned by the Liaodong family headed by Gao Qiu and Cai Jing. What he did out of desperation was not his original intention at all.
Moreover, after the surrender, the Liaodong family not only put all the infamy on Chen Baxian, not only making Chen Baxian infamous, but also left him no rights at all, and encouraged the Qing generals to humiliate Chen Baxian repeatedly, trying to He committed suicide and never suffered any further consequences.
Even ordinary people might not be able to endure this kind of experience, let alone a hero like Chen Baxian?
The reason why Chen Baxian's rebellion was unexpected is because Chen Baxian no longer has any rights, and the Liaodong family still strictly monitors him. Rebellion is tantamount to asking for death.
What everyone in the Manchu camp did not expect was that Chen Baxian not only rebelled, but also attracted a group of people and burned the Qing army's precious ships and food.
Then another question arises, how did Chen Baxian achieve this step? The reason is simple, Hei Bingtai is behind him.
Before the war between Qin and Qing began, the two major espionage organizations, Heibingtai and Nianganchu, had already used Youzhou as the battlefield for their game.
Whether it was assassination, instigation of rebellion, or exploration of secrets, in order to severely damage Fu Fang, the two major espionage organizations had used all possible means, and Chen Baxian naturally became one of Heibingtai's targets.
Although Chen Baxian no longer had military power at this time, he was once the king of Chen after all, and he still had some influence in the surrender of Chen's army. Moreover, he also hated the Manchu and Liaodong families very much. It can be said that he was bound to succeed as long as he was wooed. .
Naturally, Hei Bingtai would not let go of such a perfect chess piece.
Black Bingtai sent spy Mo Ya to secretly contact Chen Baxian, but what Mo Ya didn't expect was that he didn't even reveal his identity. Chen Baxian had already guessed his identity, and then decisively chose to turn to Qin, and also A series of countermeasures were proposed.
The situation of Chen Army is indeed a bit special. It was initially loyal to Gongsun Xuanyuan, but Gongsun Shu was forced to defect after the rebellion. Later, Chen Baxian united with the Liaodong family to launch a coup. This army changed its allegiance to Chen Baxian, and then was pulled by the Liaodong family to join Manchuria. clear.
In just one year, Chen's army changed hands four times. How loyal can such an army be?
If the Manchu and Qing Dynasties continue to be strong, Chen Jun will naturally not dare to make any changes, but once the Qing army is at a disadvantage, they will never be buried with the Qing army.
In this regard, Chen Baxian is full of confidence.
As the situation in Youzhou became more and more critical, the Manchu Qing Dynasty naturally could not care about Chen Baxian, and Chen Baxian took this opportunity to contact his old ministry.
Just when the Qin army gained a decisive advantage and the army crossed Yanshan in one fell swoop, Chen Baxian led three generals who had betrayed him, and a total of three battalions of 3,000 soldiers defected together.
The reason why only three generals were recruited was because Chen's army had poor combat effectiveness and low morale. It would not be an exaggeration to say that sending such an army to the front line to fight against the tiger and wolf Qin army who were armed to the teeth would lead to death.
Nurhachi didn't care about Chen Jun's life or death, but he couldn't let Chen Jun affect the morale of the Qing army, so he ordered the surrendered troops to guard western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning. He only transferred three battalions of relatively capable Chen Jun elites, and all the captains of these three battalions were killed by Chen Baxian. Incited to rebel.
After successfully instigating a rebellion, Chen Baxian took advantage of the fact that the Qing army was unprepared for him, and attacked decisively at the right time, burning down the Qing army's newly built port, as well as grain, grass, and ships in one fell swoop.
In Nurhaci's eyes, Chen Baxian was just a loser. He had spared his life in a moment of kindness, so he was ungrateful. How dare he come back to bite him at such a critical moment? And it worked.
In response to this, Nurhachi was naturally extremely angry. In anger, he vomited blood and fainted. It was already a day later when he woke up, and the fire at the port had been put out.
"Your Majesty, there are only eight thousand stones left of one hundred thousand stones of food and grass. As for the ships..."
Wanyan Honglie was a little hesitant, but Nurhachi sighed softly and said, "Let's be honest, how many ships are left?"
"Eighteen boats."
"What?" All the generals exclaimed.
It doesn't matter if the food and grass are burned. After all, the decisive battle is about to begin, and the food and grass will no longer be used, but the ship cannot be burned.
These ships can transport food, and naturally they can also take people back. However, the Qing army is now trapped in Youbeiping, unable to advance or retreat, and the Qin army is difficult to defeat, so they just count on these ships to escape.
Now that Chen Baxian had burned down only Shiba Sou, their hopes were dashed. After all, how many people could Shiba Sou send away?
If they want to leave, it will be for the higher-ups. No matter how they turn, it won't be their turn.
At this thought, the middle-level generals cursed angrily, almost wishing to eat Chen Baxian alive.
"Damn Chen Baxian, I should have killed him directly from the beginning."
"Kill Chen Baxian, be sure to kill Chen Baxian, and let him know the consequences of betraying the Qing Dynasty."
…
After venting, everyone's eyes were focused on Nurhachi.
There are only eighteen ships left, and Nurhachi has the final say as to who can leave and who stays.
Nurhazi understood what the generals meant. After being silent for a while, he raised his head, with a ruthless look in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Come here, burn the remaining 18 search ships and all the food and grass for me." .”
"What? No, absolutely not."
Chu Ying was shocked when he heard this, and was the first to jump out to stop him. After all, as a prince, he could definitely get on the ship and escape back to Liaoxi. Now that it was burned, he couldn't even go back.
All the generals were also stunned by Nurhachi's decision, and after realizing it, they quickly followed Chu Ying in opposing it.
"Your Majesty, you can't burn it. You must burn it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the ship is burned, how will Your Majesty and my brothers go back?"
"Your Majesty's body of gold must not leave Fan Xian behind."
…
Nurhachi ignored everyone's dissuasion. After taking a deep breath, he said solemnly: "You can go back after defeating the Qin army."
"But……"
Chu Ying was anxious and prepared to persuade, but Nurhaci did not give him a chance to speak.
"That's enough. I have given up my will. This time I will follow the example of the Overlord, cut off hope and burn all boats. Only in this way can I defeat the Qin army."
Nurhachi's eyes were full of determination and he shouted: "Burn."
"twitter."
The eighteen ships that survived were burned by Nurhachi.
Nian Deli, Yang Dayan, Jin Wushu and other high-ranking military officials watched helplessly as the ship was reduced to ashes, with complex expressions in their eyes.
Even if there were only eighteen ships left, they and the senior officials would definitely be able to evacuate by boat, but no one expected that Nurhaci would have the courage to break the boat.
Now even Nurhaci is not leaving. If they don't want to die, they will naturally have to stay and fight.
