Chapter 1078 Hong Chengchou Fights Guerrilla
After Gao Jian got Gao Huan's permission, he returned to the camp happily.
In the big tent, Wu Sangui, Geng Zhongming, Shimazu Kohiro, Maori Tsunahiro and others immediately surrounded him and asked about Gan Chao's attitude.
At this time, Gao Jian looked around everyone, deliberately waiting for everyone to scratch their heads in a hurry, and suddenly said loudly: "After my request, His Majesty the Emperor, who is fighting, promised to temporarily stop the attack and allow us to negotiate. Now as long as the shogunate can agree to the conditions for the reign of the court, we can return to the country!"
Wu Sangui and Geng Zhongming breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Matsuhide Scythe was able to bring back such conditions means that Matsuhide Scythe was Gao Jian and did not deceive them.
Shimazu Kokusa got excited and saluted Gao Jian, "Kamisan, I am so grateful to you this time."
"Kansan! I wonder what conditions did Gan Chao ask to the Tokugawa family?" Mori Tsunahiro asked happily.
Gao Kama said: "This time when the Shogunate was defeated in the battle to aid the Qing Dynasty, the conditions for the court were very simple, that is, let the shogunate pay and redeem us."
Everyone was relieved when they heard about this condition. Shimadzu Kokusa said: "We are fighting for the shogunate, and now we are defeated and trapped. The shogunate pays to redeem us. This is also what it should be."
Seeing that everyone said yes, Gao Jian immediately said, "Since that's the case, then send someone to inform the shogunate and send the money here."

While Matsuhira Kama sent people to Edo and asked the Tokugawa shogunate to send people to negotiate with the Kancho, the Kan army's attack in the Changbai Mountain District had made great progress.
After Wu Sangui and Geng Zhongming ran away, they fled to the remnant Qing regime in Hetuara, with only more than 10,000 Qing soldiers left, and many of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.
When the Qing army invaded the pass, the troops pressed the Huanghuai defense line built by Gao Huan on the front. In order to reduce the pressure on the front battlefield, Gao Huan ordered Sun Chuanting to advance into the Taihang Mountains, and Yuan Shizhong advanced into the Yimeng Mountains in Shandong to establish an anti-Qing base.
After the Qing army retreated to Hetuala, Hong Chengchou urgently printed a large number of books on guerrilla warfare, and took out only a few items left and gave them to nearby tribes. He wanted to obtain support from various tribes and copy the bases of the Gan Army in the Taihang Mountains and Yimeng Mountains.
At this time, most areas outside the pass were not developed, and the Gan Army's supplies were very dependent on the inside. The Qing army established a basis in the vast mountains, increasing the cost of the Gan Army's extermination of the remnants of the Qing army.
If the Gan Army wiped out the Qing army, the cost required was too high, then Gao Huan would be very likely to give up and continue to encircle and suppress the Qing court.
In this way, the Qing Dynasty regime could negotiate peace with the Gan Chao and continue to continue in the mountains and forests.
This idea of the Qing army is undoubtedly correct.
When Gan Jun occupied Chenyang, he confiscated a large number of books that Hong Chengchou had not had time to take away. Most of them were booklets printed by Gao Huan in order to guide the two bases of Taihang Mountain and Yimeng Mountain to resist the Qing Dynasty.
The Military Information Department reported this situation to Gao Huan, and Gao Huan knew that Hong Chengchou would use guerrilla warfare to fight him.
Gao Huan was knowledgeable and knew that Hong Chengchou was really fighting guerrillas with him, especially after he mobilized all the Jurchens in the Baishan and Black Water, it would be difficult for Gan Chao to occupy the Northeast.
After all, such as the Soviet Union and the United States, they all failed one after another in the face of extremely weak countries, so high cannot be taken seriously.
When Gao Huan sent troops to North Korea and forced the defeated coalition troops to Jeolla and Gyeongsang Do, Gao Huan chose Yuan Shizhong, who had rich guerrilla experience, and led 30,000 troops to attack Hetuara.
Faced with the attack of the Gan army, the Qing army of Hetulala was unable to resist. When Hong Chengchou learned that Yuan Shizhong was approaching, he did not rely on the city to resist, but instead took Bumubutai and Fulin to retreat to the depths of the mountains.
The conditions in the mountains are harsh, and tens of thousands of people retreat to the deep mountains, and eating is a problem.
Therefore, Hong Chengchou did not force all the Jurchen people in Hetuara to move away, but led the remaining soldiers to leave. Many Jurchen people remained in Hetuara and nearby villages.
If these people stayed in the city, if the Gan army carried out a massacre, it would arouse anger and resistance from the tribes in the Changbai Mountains, which would help Hong Chengchou mobilize the Jurchen people to fight against the Ganchao.
If the Gan army did not massacre the city, then these leftover Jurchen people would become his eyewitness, provide information about the Gan army for the Qing army, and allow him to ambush or transfer in advance.
At this time, on the winding mountain path, Qing soldiers traveled through mountains and rivers to the deeper village.
Hong Chengchou stood on the hillside with a crutch, overlooking the city of Hetuara below the mountain, feeling mixed emotions.
This is another defeat to Maicheng after the Battle of Songjin.
He was the governor of the Ming Dynasty and led the last elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty, trying to make a tide. As a result, he was defeated and captured, destroying the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty. Soon after, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.
This was the first time he fell into the bottom of his life. However, after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he devoted himself to the management and spent more than ten years to climb to a high position and accumulate a certain amount of strength.
However, he suffered a Waterloo in his life again. The Qing court he was loyal to was exhausted and his money and food were exhausted.
The current situation is only half better than being surrounded by Songshan. After all, I was not trapped to death. There are still thousands of armed forces around me, which can become the seed of the prairie fire.
Hong Chengchou saw that the Ganjun van had entered Hetuala, sighed and said to Fulin beside him: "Master, stop looking, we will come back."
After speaking, Hong Chengchou stood on a crutch and never looked back, and took Fu Lin to the depths of the mountains.
There were still thousands of old and weak Manchus in the city of Hetulara, but they did not evacuate.
In their case, they retreated into the mountains and forests and were waiting for death, so they simply stopped torture and stayed in Hetuala waiting for the army to massacre the city.
The remaining Manchu family members originally thought that the Gan army would massacre the city and vent their anger and avenge their revenge. However, after Yuan Shizhong entered the city, the Gan army did not carry out bloody cleaning of the remnants of the Qing army and the traitors like when they were in Shenyang City. Instead, they posted notices of the people, so that the army could restore order in the city.
Yuan Shizhong occupied Hetuara, but because Hong Chengchou and the Qing court retreated into the depths of the mountains, the war to destroy the Qing army was not over yet.
Facing the vast mountains, Yuan Shizhong did not dare to send troops to chase and suppress them without any definite information. Instead, he stationed troops in Hetuara and then sent personnel to control nearby mountain villages.
Yuan Shizhong did not know the situation of the Jianzhou Jurchens, so Gao Huan appointed the former Prince of the Qing Dynasty Mandahai as the Jianzhou Xuanfu Envoy, responsible for recruiting old subordinates.
Originally, Mandahai preferred the position of governor of Liaoning, but this position has been acquired by Dorgon.
Now that Gan Chaolun has a qualification to be a man of traitor, Mandahai is still slightly inferior and can only surrender, but it can be considered a return home in glory.
His duty as the Prosperous and Pacifying tribe was mainly responsible for recruiting the Jurchen tribes in the mountains and forests. As soon as he arrived in Hetuara, Yuan Shizhong gave him a military force and asked him to go deep into the mountains and forests to recruit the remnants of the Qing army and inquire about the news about the Qing court.
