"Ah sneeze, ah sneeze..."
Hearing Dong E, a traitor from the Aixinjueluo family who refused to lift any pot, talking about jumping into the Han River, Tu Hai couldn't help but sneeze - he did not drown in the Han River, but He caught a cold and had a high fever two days ago, which almost burned him to death.
And he didn’t mean to jump into the Han River. He was sick! Now no one will hold him accountable for his repeated defeats. Is he jumping into the Maohan River? This time he really fell into the water. Didn't Kangxi ask him to lead his troops to break out? That decree was actually sent from Nanyang to Xiangyang. The two unlucky guys Tuhai and Laita didn't know that Kangxi was defeated and wanted to run away, so they tried to get them to run away a little bit, thinking that Kangxi had won! So he and Laita mobilized 15,000 elite soldiers and went out.
But as soon as they rushed out of Fancheng, they were intercepted by two townsmen from the Lianghekou Camp of the Ming Army. The two sides fought a queuing and shooting battle on the plain north of Fancheng... The result was of course Tuhai and Laita is defeated! In order to cover the retreat of Tuhai's troops, veteran Laita personally led the cavalry to attack the Ming army's array, and was eventually killed by the "Iron Fist" and random gunfire.
Tuhai, who returned from the defeat, could not even defend Fancheng, because the Ming army chased Tuhai's defeated army and rushed directly into the gate of Fancheng! With no other choice, Tu Hai could only stay behind personally and cover the evacuation of Xiangyang through the pontoon bridge erected between Xiangfan and Xiangfan.
However, the pontoon bridge was hit by a super-caliber grenade fired by a Ming army mortar and was directly blown up. Tu Hai happened to be on the bridge at that time. Although he was not hit by shrapnel, he fell into the cold Han River because the pontoon bridge was broken. If he hadn't practiced swimming hard in the past few years - he couldn't always rely on Shi Lang to catch him! And he also recruited several water-based Goshiha, who may have become a water ghost.
"Master Beile, Your Majesty, I won't tell you any secret words..." Tu Hai covered his nose with a handkerchief and frowned, "If the emperor is really in Xinye - the Battle of Nanyang If the Qing Dynasty is defeated, the Qing Kingdom will most likely become the Northern Qing Dynasty... But after all, I, Tuhai, have been greatly favored by the Qing Emperor, so how can I gain a foothold after joining the Ming Dynasty?"
As soon as Dong E, Le Erjin, and Mang Yitu heard this, they knew that their mission to enter the city to persuade them to surrender would probably be successful!
Tu Hai's words actually mean that what will he rely on to gain a foothold after joining the Ming Dynasty?
"The hall in the picture," Dong E said with a smile, "You have been the chief scholar of the Qing Dynasty. You are very familiar with the Qing Dynasty. You are also very familiar with the situation outside the Pass, Mongolia, and the Snowy Region! Do you know the Ming Dynasty? The effect is no less than that of Hong Chengchou to the Qing Dynasty back then!"
Tu Hai frowned deeply - Dong E's meaning was obvious, he could "sell the Qing Dynasty"! It seems that the Qing Dynasty's territory in the pass will not last long, and it will not be his turn to sell it. But the Qing Dynasty also had the Northeast, Mongolia, the Snowy Region, and many territories and states in the Western Region.
If Kangxi wanted to be Emperor Shun of the Qing Dynasty, he could basically maintain it for many years...and few people in the Ming Dynasty probably understood the situation in Mongolia, the Snowy Region, the Northeast, and the Western Regions.
So he still has some pictures to sell... just like Hong Chengchou sold Ming Dynasty back then!
He couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this! At that time, he looked down upon Hong Chengchou, but he never thought that he would follow Hong Chengchou's path.
It's really God's will... Yes, it's all God's fault!
Le'erjin said again: "Tuzhongtang, you still have more than 10,000 elite soldiers in your hands! The people of the Ming Dynasty have the ambition to overwhelm the four barbarians, and to overwhelm the four barbarians, you need elite soldiers... ...So all the soldiers in our hands can be used by the Emperor of Heaven."
Zhu Heji's ambitions were also known to Tuhai. When he crossed the sea to conquer Korea, he even took the initiative to provoke Japan, which was closed to the country.
It is estimated that troops will also be used against Mongolia, Snowy Region, Northeastern and Western Regions later.
Mang Yitu sighed at this time and said to Tu Hai: "Tu Zhongtang, in addition to the more than ten thousand people in your hands, you also have Xiangyang City! If the Ming army wants to fight hard, they will suffer at least thousands of casualties. The ten thousand who follow you Of course, there is no way for many brothers to survive. And how much food do you still have in hand? How long can it last? Three months? Five months? What will happen when the food is gone?
Do you really have the heart to let more than 10,000 people die like this? Haven’t enough people died over the years? "
These words really touched Tu Hai’s heart!
He was deeply beholden to the country, so he couldn't bear to ask him to betray the Qing Dynasty to gain wealth. But now for brother! He can't help but be loyal! You can't lead the big guy to die in vain, right? These brothers entrusted their lives to him because they trusted him, Tu Hai. He could not lead them to die casually...
Thinking of this, Tu Hai just sighed: "For the sake of my brothers' survival, I, Tu Hai, can only shamelessly act as a second minister."
...
When spring is gradually getting stronger in Zhili, Beijing is still the territory of the Qing Dynasty!
It is said that this is all the result of Wang Sangui, no, it is Wang Fuchen!
Although this loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty failed to defend Shanhaiguan, he also failed to defend Linyu, Funing, Lulong, Changli, Luanzhou, Qian'an, Zunhua Prefecture, Yutian, Fengrun, Jizhou, Baodi, Ninghe and other places. Thirteen consecutive defeats in less than a month not only lost large areas of the prefectures and counties in Yongping, Zunhua, and Shuntian Prefectures with Qitian and Qizhuang to the Ming army, but also allowed the Ming army to seize a large amount of grain, fodder, and livestock. ...thus completely solving the logistical supply problem for hundreds of thousands of troops and civilians. But because of the repeated battles of this loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming army's military front was delayed after all.
This Ming army that entered the pass broke through Shanhaiguan around the Spring Festival of the first year of the AD. It was not until the 20th day of the first lunar month of the second year of the AD that the vanguard advanced to the Sanhe, Xianghe, and Pinggu areas.
And on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, when the brave loyal slaves of the Qing Dynasty and the "Wang Sangui" who had suffered many defeats were preparing to face the vanguard of the Ming army in the areas of Sanhe, Xianghe and Pinggu, the "Shun Emperor" Kangxi Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty finally He returned to Beijing, a city that was no longer very loyal to him.
This "not very loyal" is not something you say casually, it is well-founded!
Because as soon as Emperor Kangxi entered the Yongding Gate, he saw many "soldiers" whom he didn't know very well - they all had blue cloth buns on their heads, and wore fat cotton clothes and trousers, and there was a big "soldier" on their cotton clothes. The word "brave". I don’t know whether it is upper courage, middle courage, or lower courage?
These "brave" were all carrying weapons, most of them were matchlocks, and some were carrying spears and swords. They lined up in a seemingly scattered team, standing on the long street inside Yongding Gate. They didn't know any rules, and they didn't know the rules. He knelt down to greet him, but stretched his neck and looked curiously at Emperor Kangxi who returned in defeat...
Kangxi just wanted to find someone to ask where these "brave" came from? His good brother Chang Ning had already led Kong Shenggong, Xiong Cilu, Zhou Peigong, Zhang Ying, Fu Honglie, Shi Lang and others to kowtow to him.
Seeing Kong Shenggong and several Confucian bigwigs wearing green cloth and long cedar with a white folding fan on his belt, Kangxi immediately remembered that those "brave" were all Confucian "Lu Yong"!
In order to concentrate his forces to fight Zhuge Sanhe, Kangxi put Lu Yong into Beijing. Now, most of the defense of Beijing is probably in the hands of these "Lu Yong"!
Although they all look like a mob, there is strength in numbers...
Thinking of this, Kangxi quickly got off his horse, went up to help Kong Shenggong in person, and said to him in a gentle tone: "Brother Shenggong, I miss you so much!"
Really?
At this time, not only Kong Shenggong was stunned, but Kangxi's biological brother Chang Ning was also stunned - he was the biological brother!
How could Kangxi not want his real brother but the fake brother Kong Shenggong?
Kangxi didn't look at his brother at all. He just held Kong Shenggong's hand affectionately and asked with a smile: "Brother Shenggong, how many Lu Yong did you bring to Beijing this time?"
"No more, no more," Kong Shenggong said with a smile, "Brother Emperor, I brought a total of 60,000 Lu Yong to Beijing this time!"
Sixty thousand is not much...Kangxi's spine felt a little cold when he heard it! He only had nine thousand defeated troops at hand...
