"Guard Fang, has the news of Jian Nu's siege not reached Jian Nu yet?"
"Probably not yet. From the moment Jiannu broke through the customs, Shanhaiguan was closed.
The mutual markets along Ji Town and the surrounding official roads including Zunhua and Longjingguan to Beijing City were also closed and were only reopened yesterday. "
Listening to Fang Jun's response, Zhao Shujiao's eyes lit up: "Does that mean Daishan, who is staying in Shenyang, doesn't know about this?
Calculating the distance traveled, Huang Taiji and his party who escaped from Longjing Pass have not yet returned to Shenyang.
This general estimates that His Majesty wants both Daishan and Huang Taiji to suffer losses.
In this case, it is necessary to maximize the anger of Amin, Dorgon and other banners against Huang Taiji and others, and cause their former army to be in chaos before Huang Taiji returns to Shenyang. "
Zhao Shujiao murmured a few words to himself, and then said in a deep voice: "Then let's go outside the city. The army will push out for three miles and delay them in front of the Jiannu army!"
"Deputy Commander Zhao, this is too dangerous. What if instead of causing them civil strife, it actually arouses their anger and attacks the city with all their strength?"
"Yes, Governor Yuan is not here, so we don't know what to do!"
"Hmph, among the 65,000 Jiannu coalition troops who were besieged and killed, the Jiannu headquarters had 30,000 troops. How many more did they have on the front line?
We originally had eleven Hongyi cannons, plus the eight more that were sent, making it nineteen Hongyi cannons. Are we still afraid of them? If they take the initiative to attack, then we will kill them! "
"Not afraid..."
"I am now bearing the seal of General Ping Liao. Commander Yuan is not here. I am the supreme general of the Ningyuan Defense Line. I will bear all the consequences freely. There is no need for you to say anything!"
"General Zhao, there is no problem with your command, but we also have to consider the tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people.
There are several castles in the Guanning defense line, but they do not have the artillery of Ningyuan City. If something goes wrong in Ningyuan, all the cities behind will fall, and our years of hard fighting will be in vain! "
"Yes, General Zhao, Ningyuan City is related to the safety of Guan Ning's defense line. We must eliminate all uncontrollable factors!"
Listening to everyone's rebuttal, Zhao Shujiao snorted coldly: "Zu Dashou, do you want to resist the decree?"
Zu Dashou smiled and whispered: "General Zhao was joking. His Majesty just said that we should cooperate with you, but he did not specify where the execution would be.
The so-called generals who do not accept military orders abroad have to consider tens of thousands of soldiers and the Ming Dynasty. The label of resisting orders cannot be pinned on us! "
"You...the personal guard obeys the order..."
"Okay, okay, okay, what a good general!"
Just when Zhao Shujiao was about to order a rebellion, a deep and majestic voice sounded.
Everyone followed the sound and one person walked out from the team of accompanying prison cars. He stood next to Zhao Shujiao and stared at Zu Dashou and others.
"British father?"
"British Duke!"
After everyone saw the person clearly, their expressions changed drastically, especially the expressions of the generals who had just raised their objections became gloomy.
Who is the British public?
That was the head of the current dynasty, the one who commanded all the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.
Wei Zhongxian fought so fiercely with the Donglin Party. They both had a tacit understanding and did not dare to involve the British public.
In addition to the Zhang family's control of the capital camp, the British Duke's ability is beyond doubt.
The emperor was able to quickly eradicate the Wei party. It is said that the British prince's sudden defection played a big role. Otherwise, even if the emperor could eradicate the Wei party, it would probably take a long time to control the situation.
However, this kind of "following the dragon" was actually assigned to Shanhaiguan as Shanhaiguan manager, which left countless people scratching their heads.
"I'll wait until I see the British Duke!"
Zhang Weixian waved his hand and stared coldly at Zu Dashou who had just retorted the most fiercely: "Zu Dashou, you are so brave."
"How dare you disobey His Majesty's will?"
"The British Duke, the last general..."
"The imperial edict is very clear. Everything is decided by Deputy General Zhao!"
After Zhang Weixian finished speaking, he glanced at the generals of the ancestral family behind Zu Dashou: "Explain this sentence to your father-in-law!"
Zu Dashou was silent, and all the generals behind him also lowered their heads.
"Deputy Commander Zhao, you decide what to do!"
Zhao Shujiao nodded, glanced at the generals, and issued a series of orders.
The order was sent to immediately seal the city gates, no one could enter or leave, and more patrols were sent out. The scouts were sent ten miles further to be on guard against establishing slaves;
Send orders, prepare artillery, obey orders and prepare for bombardment at any time,
After the order was sent, all the gunmen entered the trench, and the horse-repelling stakes moved forward again.
After the order was sent, all the Guan Ning cavalry lined up outside Ningyuan City, ready to charge at any time.
…
Gather scholars in the city, especially those who can write Manchu, to copy as many battle reports as they can, and add news about Dorgon and Amin Lingchi at the end of the battle report! "
"Call the skilled craftsmen in the city to carve a statue of two people kneeling!"
…
In just half a quarter of an hour, Zhao led the army to issue more than a dozen military orders, including dispatching troops, arranging troops, forming offensives, etc.
"Mr. British, do you think we need any other preparations?"
"Need not!"
After getting the British Duke's approval, Zhao led the crowd and said, "The execution time is set for noon tomorrow, everyone go and prepare!"
"Everyone, I would like to remind you, don't make any small moves. If you are discovered by my father, I will kill you regardless of your official position!"
"If my prince wants to kill someone, no one can stop him!"
After Zhang Weixian finished speaking, he took a deep look at the generals of the ancestral family, and then his eyes stayed on the deputy general for a moment, with a hint of coldness hanging on the corner of his mouth, and then followed Zhao Zhijiao into the governor's house.
After Zhang Weixian disappeared, Fang Jun and others, who had been watching what had just happened, led the prison car into the governor's house through the side door.
The soldiers sat under the eaves, took out the steamed buns from the package and ate them with water, but it could be seen from their actions that they could explode at any time.
As soon as the hour passed the next day, the army marched about three miles from the city gate, and a simple platform was set up, with Dorgon and Amin kneeling on it.
The movement here naturally attracted Jiannu's attention. In less than half an hour, dust was billowing in the distance, accompanied by the rapid sound of horse hooves.
The scout came galloping to report: "The British Lord, Deputy General Zhao, coming will be Wakda and Tulai."
"Wakda? Turai?"
After listening to the scout's report, Zhao Shujiao chuckled and then explained to Zhang Weixian.
"The British Duke, Wakda, is the fourth son of Daishan. He conquered the Kalkhabalin and Lut tribes, made many military exploits, and was awarded the title of Baylor.
Tu Lai, the seventh son of Fei Yingdong, one of the five founding ministers of the slave state, has experienced many wars. The key is that he is a Zhenghuang Banner man and a die-hard loyalist of Huang Taiji. He serves as Wakda's deputy general and has a strong sense of surveillance. It's obvious. "
"Send the order, the whole army is ready!"
A few breaths after the military order was issued, the Jiannu army stopped more than a hundred feet away from the Ming army.
Wakda and Turai rode in front of the army and looked at the two people kneeling on the high platform through clairvoyance, full of doubts.
"Why does this look like an execution?"
"Indeed, what are you doing here, demonstrating to us?"
When the two were confused, Zhao Zhijiao waved his hand, and the two executioners grinned at Wakda and Tu Lai, pulled up the heads of Dorgon and Amin, and pointed them at them.
The faces of Amin and Dorgon instantly appeared in Qianli Eyes.
