But was this letter really written by Azig?
Yes.
But why is it in the hands of Beiyanghe Mingjun?
Chang Yu gave it to Li Yan.
After Azig was captured, he was quickly and secretly escorted to Beijing. Chang Yu met him in Jinyiwei's prison and chatted for a while. Then the Prince of Ying of the Qing Dynasty gave up because he could not see from the little eunuch's words and deeds. Without a trace of respect, the majestic prince of the Qing Dynasty was just a tool that was about to be used to humiliate the Qing Dynasty. He would be killed when it was used up, and he would not use it to negotiate with Dorgon at all!
As for why he sent a letter to Dorgon for him, it was naturally to humiliate Dorgon.
But does Chang Yu really not know how to negotiate with Azig and Dorgon?
How is it possible? After finally catching a big fish, how can I just kill it and feed it to the cat? I have to boil the soup slowly and drink it, but it is very nourishing.
As for why Chang Yu acted like he was just killing and humiliating the Qing Dynasty without negotiating? The reason is simpler!
He wants to take the initiative!
Because he knows Dorgon very well about the Manchu dynasty at this time. The more you lick your face and beg for peace, the more he will get on your nose. It is obvious that you are the one who captured his people. Maybe you will have to give him a city in the end. Give it to him in exchange for leaving the country.
So I pretend to be a show-off, and if I don’t talk to you, I’ll kill and humiliate you!
If the other party believes it, he will take the initiative to negotiate with him. At that time, it will be Ming who has the upper hand.
So Azig, who had always been brainless, was the first to believe it. He firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty would not use him to negotiate, and he would definitely die, so he wrote to ask Dorgon to find a way to save him.
Dorgon and Duduo are both shrewd people. Although they think it is a bit impossible for the Ming court to catch such a big fish without negotiating, they also feel that the Ming court hates the Qing Dynasty to the bone, and it is very possible that the Ming court will really kill people to vent its anger and humiliate him. possible.
So in fact, they are not sure now, and they are very confused. This is exactly what Li Yan wants. When Chang Yu handed the letter to him before leaving, he said that he would find a suitable time to send it.
Li Yan believed that now was the most appropriate time, when the Qing army was confident and ambitious to attack the city!
It just makes him upset!
Although Dorgon and Duoduo are shrewd, they are far from the opponents of Chang Yu and Li Yan in their naughty ways. The two of them now think that Chang Yu is just playing hard to get, but they have not realized that the little eunuch is actually trying to get them to ask for negotiations!
Of course, I also knew that sending the letter at this time was just to upset their minds. But there are some things that you have clearly seen through, but you can only fall into it. You were originally attacking the city with great enthusiasm, but you are confused: Mingting really does not intend to negotiate. If Azig is really killed, Shenyang It's all chaos over there, and Hauge's weakling is probably going to shake things up... And where are the infantry of the Ming army? Azig said that he saw the little eunuch in the capital, but when did the little eunuch return to the capital after he was obviously chasing after him? Or is the one wearing the fanged ghost face a stand-in?
Where is he now?
The capital, Linzi in the west, or Qingzhou City?
Dorgon is really confused now, his head is full of questions, and he only feels pain in his head, pain in his head, pain in his head...
As the night grew darker, the Qing troops were already in their positions outside Qingzhou City. Countless torches outside the city illuminated the sky so brightly that one could even see the solemn expressions of the garrison on the city.
"Surrender quickly. If you don't open the door and wait for me to get in, you will be dead..." The Qing army yelled and cursed under the city, causing bursts of laughter. Only the cannon fodder were playing with various instruments with fear on their faces, because they all They knew that once the siege order came, they would be the ones at the front and the ones who would die the fastest.
In the jungle at the foot of the mountain on the west bank of the Nanyang River behind the Qing army's formation, Chang Yu and his party lurked along the river bank from the north to the place facing the west gate.
Across the river, the Qing army was shouting and cursing at the city. The noise was so loud that it made people's heads buzz. Chang Yu had a sullen expression on a tree and squinted in the direction of the city gate from among its branches.
Kuang Ren also climbed up, with his bow and arrows swiping around like a poisonous snake. Chang Yu glanced sideways at him: "I want to fish."
"It depends on whether you can eat the food God has given you." Kuang Ren chuckled. Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult!"
It was indeed difficult. Although there were torches shining at night, it was impossible to see people clearly from a distance of nearly two miles, not to mention the crowds of people everywhere. It would be impossible to find and kill the Qing generals.
Kuang Ren was helpless as God did not reward him with food. After watching for a while, Chang Yu murmured a few words to Li Muchian and then signaled to retreat. Because the mountain behind was too steep, he had to sneak along the river bank to the south.
Within a few dozen meters, birds chirped in the forest ahead. Chang Yu and others quickly fell down on the ground or hid behind trees. The chirping was a warning to the guards ahead.
Could it be that the Qing army also had spies here? While Chang Yu was muttering, the guards who were exploring the road in front had turned back. It turned out that there was a mountain pass not far away, and there were many Qing troops wandering around.
Chang Yu suddenly realized that it was the group of Qing troops who were staring at the "horse thieves" at the mountain pass.
At the critical moment of the siege, there was a group of restless horse thieves in the mountain. Dorgon had no intention of suppressing them but did not want them to come out to cause trouble, so he sent a small team to watch at the mountain pass to avoid causing trouble.
There are about thirty or forty people in this Qing army team. In terms of strength, it is not a problem to kill one hundred and eighty horse thieves. Of course, the premise is that they do it openly, but if they enter the mountains, that is another matter, so Dorgon also confessed , just keep an eye on them, and ignore them as long as they don't cause trouble.
But this group of horse thieves was very arrogant. During the day, they hung around on the hilltop at the mountain pass and did not pay any attention to the Qing warriors who even fled when the officers and soldiers saw them.
Could it be that horse thieves like Chang Yu were not afraid of these Qing troops suddenly entering the mountains?
Of course he was afraid. As soon as the Qing army spies entered the mountain, the hidden soldiers in the mountain were immediately exposed. So besides letting a few real horse thieves sing the empty city strategy at the mountain pass, the more the Qing army did it, the more the Qing army thought that only a few of them had never seen the world and did not know how to live or die. The country bumpkin bandits, in fact, walking further in, it is really five steps, one light, ten steps and one dark, but they are all regular troops, and the Qing army will never be able to touch the mountain col.
Then why didn't the Qing army enter the mountains? Looking at the strength of those horse thieves on the hill, they had already wanted to go and chop them off.
Because of fear!
In addition to Dorgon saying that it was okay and not looking for trouble, they really didn't dare to go into the mountain casually. The horse thief was right. They were so awesome outside the mountain that they didn't even know how they died after entering the mountain. No one knew. Don't forget how many archers or traps were lurking in the bushes or on the big trees. They killed nearly thirty Qing army brothers in an ambush yesterday.
Anyway, just keep an eye on it, as long as you don't step over the line.
At least that's what they thought.
But Chang Yu didn't think so because he thought they were in the way!
"Take care of them all before the army comes out," Chang Yu whispered to Kuang Ren.
Kuang Ren's eyes were cold and he smiled slightly: "You only need ten brothers for a humble job, and they can live together in one moment."
Chang Yu was very appreciative and nodded slightly. Chen Ruxin gave Kuang Ren a thumbs up: Awesome.
Marksmen are awesome. To clear these stumbling blocks, Kuang Ren and others don't need to confront them head-on. It's really not a challenge for them to hide in the dark and shoot dozens of people.
