Chapter 49: Murder in the Rain
.Ming Blood Volume 3: The Ming Dynasty Resurrection Chapter 49: Murderous Intent in the Rain
Although Prince Jirgalang and Doer did not pay, they often agreed. The two had no choice but to be in the foreign war. Doer was relieved to hand over the front army to Jirgalang for command. Jirgalang did not disappoint Doer's expectations. Although there was no progress in the confrontation with the Ming army for nearly a month, there was no loss. It was already difficult to face the Ming army with many firearms. Even if Doer himself came to lead the army, he would probably have to do this.
Jirgalang's reaction was extremely fast. However, the Ming army did not dispatch once. He had just confiscated hundreds of notes. On the other side, hundreds of Ming troops shot the notes into the Qing army camp. Jirgalang was unable to bear to surrender. He only ordered the front-line troops not to watch the notes shot in the spreading army. But the stricter the order, the more curious the content of the soldiers' notes. In less than a day, the content of the notes was spread among the tens of thousands of people in the front army.
Jiergalang was also half-believing and half-doubting about the occupation of Shanhaiguan by the Ming army. He only sent someone to report to Doer and verified the truth of the matter.
Doer was considering how to minimize the impact of the capital city when the Shanhaiguan was lost. After receiving a report from Jierharang, he was gloomy. He didn't expect that the capital city was fine. But something happened to him first. However, Jierharang was not surprised. Even if he wanted to get angry, he had nowhere to do it. For a moment, Doer felt that his head was as big as a fight.
"Reported to the emperor's father, the regent, Prince Jingjinzhuang, Prince Kanyanxi, Luohong, Duke Luo Shuncheng, Prince Lier Jin, Grand Secretary Xifuning, I, Lin Zheng, Baiqi, Meile Zhang, Ying, Yier, Yellow Banner, Meile Zhang, Ying, Yier, Zheng, Yellow Banner, Meile Zhang, Jing, Kalan Tu... See you together." A Goshha came in and reported to Dole.
Good guy. Listen to this series of names and titles. This time, the senior generals and officials in the army have basically arrived. Doer naturally knows why these people came. He suppressed his anger and calmed down: "Let them come in."
"yes."
Shortly after Goshha went down, a group of people immediately rushed in. The leader was Prince Jingjinzhuang Nikan, who was the third son of Nurhaci Zengli; Prince Luo Luohong of Yanxi was the son of Daishan Changsun and Yuetou of Prince Li; Prince Erjin of Duolushcheng Erjin of Daishan Sun and Luke Dehun; in addition to these three people, there were more than a dozen people who belonged to the royal family of the Qing Dynasty. Most of them were the third and fourth generation figures. They looked very young.
The two losses to the Ming army not only greatly reduced the strength of the Manchus, but also suffered heavy casualties among the royal family members. Duoduo's defeat caused the Manchus to lose two princes and three princes. = The failure of the Dong also caused several rising stars in the Qing sect, such as Mandahai Yue Leboluo and others to capture or die. When Doer went to war, no one was available in Shen's hands. He could only lift up the royal family members over the years.
"See the Emperor's Father and Regent" Although everyone was a little interested in asking for advice, the authoritarianism of Dore was growing stronger this year. The public still dared not forget the etiquette.
"Everyone is free from gifts."
"The emperor's father, the regent. I heard that the dog is occupied by the customs. I wonder if this matter is true or false?" After the salute, Luo Luohong, the prince of Yanxi, hurriedly asked.
The rest of the people held their breath and looked at Door with a nervous look on their faces. Door nodded: "No, I just received the urgent letter from the capital at noon. I was about to find some time to tell everyone. I didn't expect everyone to know first."
Doer directly admitted that it was difficult for everyone to attack Doer. He just couldn't help but feel an uproar. He was still half-believing and half-doubted in his heart. He thought it was Ming Jun lying. Unexpectedly, it was confirmed now.
"The emperor's father, the regent. Let's fight back. Since Minggou attacked Shanhaiguan, who knows whether they will attack Manzhou?"
After saying this, everyone showed that Shanhaiguan fell into Minggou's hands. Who knows if there will be any problems in Manzhou?
"Manchuria is our root. We cannot break the root."
"Ama, I am in Manchuria."
"My mother is in Manchuria too"
"The emperor's father, the regent, is ordered. The slave is willing to be the vanguard and destroy the Ming dogs occupying Shanhaiguan."
"Slaves are willing to be forwards."
...
Two gentle coughs came out. The people who were yelling and shouting just now suddenly became quiet. Doer swept the crowd with sharp eyes: "What a panic? The pseudo-Ming army is in front of me. They are waiting for my king to make a mistake. If you are not careful, the Qing Dynasty will be in a state of terror. You are all caring about your family. Don't you have to think about it. If you attack Shanhaiguan, it will lead to a great collapse in the current war. What's the use of capturing Shanhaiguan..."
Everyone was scolded by Dor's Ji Lise and blushed. They didn't dare to look up. After a while, Nikan couldn't help asking, "The Prince Regent, what should I do?"
"No need to do anything. Now there is only waiting. I have to defeat the pseudo-Ming army under Tianjin city. So what if the pseudo-Ming occupied Shanhaiguan? As for you, I thought that the pseudo-Ming would occupy Manzhou, there is no need to worry at all. Where did the pseudo-Ming come from so many troops? At best, it is a partial army. The polite prince guards Manzhou. What are you worried about?"
Manchurian troops
Most of them are savage Jurchens who are still wild. They are considered to be the real Prince of Li to fight for their whole life. They are experienced. Door is not unreasonable. After hearing Door say this, he finally cleared his doubts. It is impossible to completely dispel them. Luo Luohong said cowardly: "Report to the Emperor's father, the Regent. This matter has caused uneasiness among some servants in the army. What should we do? Please give me some advice."
"You can sue them when you go back. This is a trick of the pseudo-Ming. Shanhaiguan is still in our hands. Anyone who spreads rumors in the army will be killed without mercy." Dorsenran said.
Doer knew that he could not hide it from these upper-level generals. Even if he was the emperor's father and the regent, he would not be able to stop this man from joining the capital. As for ordinary soldiers, their sources of information were single. As long as they insisted that it was a trick, most people would believe it. This was also a solution that there was no way for the time being.
"Ah." Rollohong was speechless. He didn't expect the Regent to use this method. But he couldn't think of a better method. But he couldn't refute it.
Doer ignored Rolohong's surprise and turned to everyone who came in: "Everyone, what else is there?"
Everyone shook their heads together. Doer made his face look: "Since you are fine, I have something to ask everyone."
"Please give orders to the emperor's father and the regent." Everyone said in unison.
"I will return to Beijing tomorrow and will not be back in a few days. I will entrust the military affairs to you for the time being."
Everyone was shocked. The Regent actually wanted to return to Beijing at this critical moment. However, after thinking about it, he felt relieved. If the Ming army captured by Shanhaiguan was spread, the capital would probably be more chaotic than the military camp. Once the capital was in chaos, the denied military camp would be ineffective.
"Follow the order."
The war is not at storm now. Moreover, it takes less than half a day to go from Tianjin Beijing. Doer wants to return to Beijing to deal with the matter. No one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
Doerdao: "Since there is nothing else, please leave."
After everyone saluted, they said their leave in turn. But I left Xigang Lin Ningwan and I, Nikan, and the four of them in the mansion. No one knew what Doer ordered the four of them to do. But after the four of them left the mansion, they looked a little solemn on their faces.
The next day, Doer only brought his own Goshha and rushed to the capital in storm. After the Qing soldiers arrived at the officers to avoid rumors, although a few people were still suspicious, most people believed that it was the Ming army that made the distance and the morale of the army was quickly calmed down.
The Ming army shot several waves of long arrows with paper sticks into the Qing army camp. Seeing that the Qing army had no response, the war was calm again.
The rain fell. In the blink of an eye, the confrontation between the two sides had lasted for two months. Now it has entered July of the fifth year of Hongguang. The summer rain comes at will. In June, although the weather is bright and rainy, it is just that the rain is fast and goes quickly. A heavy rain comes. Even if the surface is soaked, the surface of the sun is basically dry and has no effect on the battle between the two sides.
But after July, the weather suddenly changed. It took several days of rain in the entire northern area. Although the rain didn't look heavy, it couldn't hold it for a long time. The whole surface was already soft and soft. One step was a deep footprint. Not to mention the horse's hooves. In this case, both sides simply stopped exploring. In addition to each other's scouts, they basically hid in the camp to rest.
Wang Fu stood in the camp with his hands behind his back. Looking at the rain outside the camp, his face was calm. Such rain was not good for the Ming army. The rain had a great impact on the Ming army. Yesterday, several granaries built on low places had water inflows. Thousands of stones of rice were lost. However, this loss was like a drop in the Ming army. If you want to calculate it carefully, more than 200,000 mouths were opened in the military camp, including the civilians, and nearly five livestock. The food consumed alone reached more than 300,000 kilograms of food and more than 100,000 bunches of forage. Yesterday's loss was only consumed by the Ming army in one day. Now the army needs more than 300,000 grains.
Of course, if this continues, more granaries will probably be soaked in floods. You can only move the granaries and ammunition to a higher-level place in the rain.
On the other hand, Doer would not have such worries. There was a strong back in their backs, and no amount of food would be soaked in water. However, I probably didn't have much food. The Jinyiwei lost several spies before sending back a piece of information. A grain transport team set out from the capital in the rain and set out towards Tianjin at a speed of about twenty a day.
