Ning Wan I live in a private house in Ningyuan City.
After returning to my residence, I took off the hat on my head, revealing a bare top of my head and a money rat tail on the back of my head.
In addition to Ning Wan, there are several people living in the private house. These people are all spies of Daikin.
The spies sent by Dajin to the Ming Dynasty were mainly Han people, with very few Mongolians, and even fewer Jurchens. Even if there were one or two Jurchens, they would not stay in one place for a long time. At most, they would show up to meet the people they wanted to see. will leave.
"Mr. Ning, drink some water." The original owner of the house took a kettle and poured a bowl of water into the water bowl.
After Ning finished talking to Zu Dashou for a long time, I felt really thirsty now, so I picked up the water bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
"Mr. Ning, has Zu Dashou agreed to submit to our Daikin this time?" The owner of the portable kettle asked Ning Wanme while refilling the water bowl with fresh water.
After drinking a bowl of water, I felt a lot better. I didn't rush to drink the second bowl. Instead, I said in my mouth: "It still needs some heat, but it's almost done."
"If Zu Dashou refuses to surrender, he will be killed directly." The other party raised his free hand and made a gesture at his neck.
"No, you can't touch him." Ning Wanwo glared at him and said immediately, "The ancestor family is very powerful here in Ningjin. The death of an ancestor will only make the situation more chaotic, and it will not be conducive for the Great Khan to recruit these people. General of Liaodong."
As a think tank-like figure around Huang Taiji, he is very clear about Daikin's current predicament.
After several battles between Daijin and Tiger Flag, they did not gain any advantage. Instead, they lost many troops and generals, including many Eight Banners soldiers.
Huang Taiji wanted to recruit Zu Dashou. In addition to taking over the Ningjin defense line, the other reason was that he was interested in Guan Ningjun. He wanted Guan Ningjun to restore blood to Dajin and have more blood when dealing with the Tiger Character Banner in the future. Support troops and horses.
The man said: "The Great Khan has urged me several times. If I can't win Zu Dashou, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Great Khan to explain."
"Of course I will take care of the Great Khan. You only need to do what I tell you. You don't need to take care of other things." Ning Wanwo warned him.
The night passed.
Near noon, one of Daikin's spies in Ningyuan City came to Ning Wanwo.
"Mr. Ning, our people just discovered that the people Ning sent to Shanhaiguan have returned."
When Ning Wanwo heard this, he suddenly stood up from his seat and said with a big smile: "Haha, good time, the time has come, this time Zu Dashou will definitely fall into my trap."
On the other side, the messenger who came back from Shanhaiguan came to Zu Dashou immediately.
"Reporting to the President, there are reports everywhere in Shanhaiguan that tiger thieves have captured the capital. I specifically asked people in the Governor's Mansion to find out that tiger thieves are attacking the capital from three directions: Yanqing, Dagukou, and Julu." The messenger said. Said to Zu Dashou.
Zu Dashou frowned upon hearing this.
Zu Dabi on the side couldn't help but said: "Brother, don't hesitate. The rumors may be true. The capital may have fallen into the hands of tiger thieves now."
"I still don't believe that Ming Dynasty died like this." Zu Dashou said hesitantly.
Zu Dabi said: "Everyone from the Governor's Office in Shanhaiguan said so. There can be no lies. It can't be news made up by our own people!"
As he spoke, he looked at the messenger below.
Seeing this, the messenger hurriedly said: "Every small sentence is true, and I would never dare to deceive the boss."
"Okay, you have worked hard all the way, go down and rest first!" Zu Dashou waved his hand gently, signaling the messenger to retreat.
The messenger bowed before retreating.
Zu Dabi said: "What do you think, brother? Didn't you say before that as soon as the news is confirmed, you will join Daikin and sell yourself at a good price? Why are you hesitating now?"
"It was too sudden and too coincidental to accept at the moment. And don't forget, the news of the fall of the capital came from Shanhaiguan." Zu Dashou said.
Seeing that Zu Dashou was still wavering, Zu Dabi couldn't help but said: "Brother, Ning Wan and I only gave us one day, and today is the deadline."
Zu Dashou's face turned pale and pale after hearing this.
Finally, he let out a long sigh and said: "That's all, even if the Ming Dynasty survives this time, it is still exhausted. Go and invite Ning Wan and me over!"
"I'll go right away." Seeing that Zu Dashou had made a decision, Zu Dabi quickly sent someone to invite Ning Wan to me.
Without the secret contact from the people in the tiger-character flag, Zu Dashou had no chance to sell it at a price. There was only one choice left for him at the moment.
Ning Wan, I'll be here soon.
One party was interested in recruiting, the other decided to surrender, and the two parties quickly agreed on the terms.
In order to show that Dai Jin valued Zu Dashou, Ning Wanwo decided to stay in Ningyuan City and sent his men to spread the news that Zu Dashou decided to surrender to Dai Jin.
After negotiating the surrender matter, Huang Taiji could not immediately lead troops to capture the various forts and important towns in the Ningjin Defense Line. Instead, he needed to give Zu Dashou time to conduct a series of sorting out the Ningjin Defense Line.
We should clear out some generals who were unwilling to submit to Dai Jin and replace them with generals who were willing to follow Zu Dashou and submit to Dai Jin. Then we could withdraw the Ming army in Jinzhou step by step, leaving Dai Jin's troops to take over.
It will take some time to complete all this. After all, many Han people here in Liaodong have a bloody hatred for Dai Jin, especially many of these Han people have joined the Ming army.
If the move is too big at once, it will easily arouse the resistance of the lower-level soldiers in the army, which may cause chaos in the entire Ningjin defense line, which is not conducive to Daikin's takeover and will also weaken the ancestor's strength in the army.
Although Huang Taiji was eager to capture the Ningjin defense line and occupy Shanhaiguan one day earlier, he understood the priorities of the matter. In addition, he had information channels to know that the Tiger Character Banner had not captured the capital, so there was still plenty of time left for Daikin. .
With the cooperation of Zu Dashou and Liaodong generals, Dajin started from Jinzhou and annexed more and more people.
Some low-level officers and soldiers discovered that their generals had betrayed the Ming Dynasty and joined the Jin Dynasty. They caused a stir, but they were quickly suppressed because they were alone.
Even if more low-level soldiers were unwilling to surrender to Dai Jin, they lacked people to take the lead in resisting, and the general promised various benefits, which caused many soldiers to follow the trend and become Dai Jin's soldiers.
After nearly a month, Huang Taiji finally completely brought the Ningjin Defense Line under the control of Daikin, leaving only Shanhaiguan and some fortresses outside Shanhaiguan.
"Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan. As long as I, the Great Jin, take Shanhaiguan again, I can march south to invade the Ming Dynasty without any hindrance." Ning Wanwo congratulated.
It was his credit for persuading Zu Dashou to surrender to Dai Jin.
