Chapter 284 Prepare for War
"I haven't settled it yet, but I've come to my door."
After reading the handwritten book from Wu Sangui sent by Shanhaiguan, Ying Yi handed it to Yan Ermei beside him and said, "After three months, after Abatai was destroyed, the Donglu sent troops to attack again. What do you think?"
Yan Ermei said: "I heard that the Donglu also had talents. I thought I could see the situation and fight with the emperor."
Ying Yi laughed: "It is good to use what you said. The Eastern Captains have won many defeats to the Ming court, but it is not unreasonable. The slave chiefs Huang Taiji and Dorgon are all capable. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was in power before, and the Eastern Captains may not be unwilling. Moreover, many traitors are inevitably picking up firewood and burning ambitions."
As he said that, Ying Yi changed his voice: "But I think the Donglu didn't know my military force, or I knew it and also covered my ears with the stolen bells. He deceived himself with his invincible lies. He wanted to compete with me. It seems that the destruction of Abatai did not make the Donglu scared."
He also said: "Wu Sangui wrote that Huang Taiji was dead. I had no suspicion in Liaodong, so I didn't know. I think that now the Donggu must be the main person Dorgon. Although this person had conflicts with Huang Taiji, his mind was clearly divided into the same direction as the slave chief Huang Taiji, and he had great ambitions. He wanted to conquer a corner of the land and wanted to conquer the Shenzhou. Although the demise of Abatai hurt his muscles and bones, he did not move his roots. The Donggu still had some support, and he was afraid that I would gain a foothold, so he wanted to take advantage of my foothold and stop my rising trend."
He carried his hands on his back: "I destroyed Abatai but did not advance eastward. I was afraid that the Donglu had misunderstood. I thought I was not as good as that. I wanted to stabilize first, clarify Hebei, and take action before liquidating it, but I didn't expect the Donglu to attack first."
It's indeed a bit confusing.
Logically speaking, Ying Yi destroyed Abatai and even if he did not send troops directly to Liaodong, he would have to make some moves, but after a few months, there was no movement. Even Wu Sangui was unable to subdue him.
The Eastern Captains must have been shocked before the death of Abatai. However, there was no movement afterwards. I was afraid that Ying Yi was just like this, and I was afraid that Ying Yi had used all his strength to wipe out Abatai and had no spare energy to launch an attack for the time being. This also gave Dorgon some confidence.
Yan Ermei agreed and said, "When the students destroyed Abatai, a Tartar man escaped. Didn't Dorgon know the situation of the war at that time?"
Ying Yi shook his head: "I don't know this. Maybe I know it, but I have to do so. I have always disliked the Tartars, so the Tartars will not come this time. When I clarify the situation and send troops to attack, I will kill his clan. Behead his men, capture his women, destroy his clans, and avenge his enemies for invading the people. Abatai for 40,000 people and horses, I don't want a prisoner, and they all build Jingguan, which is probably aware of the Eastern Captains. So I have to take action first. Because the further down, with the foundation of my country, the Eastern Captains will be more unable to defeat him."
"It seems that Dorgon is also a sensible person." Yan Ermei couldn't help but say.
Ying Yi smiled and said, "I understand, how can I make up for it? I will fight him if he wants to come. I am too lazy to wait for that time. When I destroy the Eastern Captains, I will carry the mighty force in the world to enter Sichuan west and go south to Jiangnan, and unify the world is just around the corner."
Yan Ermei said: "Your wise and wise."
Ying Yi waved his hand: "Trust the Ministry of War and the Logistics Department to prepare food, grass and supplies. Let Qian Yue keep an eye on Korqin, and Zheng Jiu keep an eye on Tumet. The Eastern Captains must do their best to attack this time. The Korqin Division of the Tatars is an iron-core Donggu, and Tumet must also be guarded."
Yan Ermei bowed and said, "Affect the Lord's order."
He also said: "Tell Zhu Bingkun that Wu Sangui is going to surrender and accept it. If he can make some contributions this time, what's the point of giving him a MG?"
"yes."
To this day, Ying Yi’s view of problems is more different from the past.
If it were earlier, Ying Yi would have wanted to kill Wu Sangui and be quick. Because he had preconceived ideas, this person's actions in history were deeply hated.
But now that Wang Jue has been promoted, Ying Yi has a different view of the problem.
After all, Wu Sangui has not surrendered to the Eastern Captain and has not yet constituted a traitor. Now he wants to be an insider and thinks that he will help him. If he is sincere, Ying Yi will not do anything to him.
Of course, if Wu Sangui takes the guise and pretends to surrender the East and the Real Surrender, and Ying Yi turns to surrender, then there is nothing to say.
...
At the same time, Wu Sangui welcomed Haoge into Ningyuan.
Haoge believed in Wu Sangui's sincerity. He put Wu Sangui's situation into himself, feeling that Wu Sangui was indeed unwilling to hand over military power. In order to protect his military power, he surrendered to me to clean up.
After all, the conditions given to Wu Sangui by the Qing Dynasty are thousands of times higher than those of Ying Yi.
When Huang Taiji was still alive, he surrendered Wu Sangui with the ruler of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and Heshuo Beile as the conditions, and promised not to seize Wu Sangui's military power.
This is not unreasonable.
After confirming that Wu Sangui really surrendered, Haoge immediately led his army to Ningyuan. Wu Sangui even handed over all Ningyuan's defense to Haoge, which made Haoge very happy.
"General Wu is very wise and can write to the emperor here and he will definitely fulfill the promise of the emperor."
Haug laughed.
Wu Sangui was respectful and said, "I am valued by the previous emperor, and I am not very honored. Ying Yi rebels destroyed my homeland and killed my relatives. I wish I could cut him into pieces! I only hope that when I win, I could hand over this thief to the slave, and I would kill him with my own hands!"
"oh?"
Haoge was stunned and said, "When the Xia thief destroyed the Southern Dynasty, would he have done something wrong?"
The Tatars didn't know much about the matter inside the pass.
Wu Sangui gritted his teeth and said, "My father Wu Xiang has no news after the thief attacked the capital!"
Hauge laughed.
He had to scrub his hands and praise him - the good thing that Xia thief did was so good. A heavy frontier general like Wu Sangui killed his family without saying a word. Isn't this forcibly pushing Wu Sangui to the Qing Dynasty!
What a good opponent!
After laughing, Haoge saw Wu Sangui's face look ugly, so he stopped smiling and said seriously: "General Wu's request is my king. When he wins, he will hand over the Xia thief to General Wu for disposal."
"Thank you, the prince!"
Wu Sangui showed gratitude on his face and bowed to the end.
Haoge nodded and said, "Xia thieves were violent and massacre after destroying the Southern Dynasties. Many people who were close to our Qing Dynasty in the pass were killed. Many things were not known. General Wu was in Ningyuan, closer to the pass, so how many soldiers and horses were there? How many troops were there?"
Wu Sangui looked upset and said, "The prince is asking about the slave. Although the slave is in Ningyuan and is closer to the pass, after the destruction of his homeland, he is limited to this and cannot fully understand many things. He only knows that the traitor seems to have 50,000 troops and must be scattered around the capital to be prepared. For Shanhaiguan, the troops stationed at him are only tens of thousands of people."
He said again: "And now it's already been March. If I were that traitor, I would have recruited soldiers and horses. I don't know how many people are now."
Haoge knew that Wu Sangui was right, but he still looked unwilling and said, "General Wu, this time, I will send troops to the Qing Dynasty and make a decision. You can spread your people out for up to three days. I must know the deployment of the Xia thieves."
Without waiting for Wu Sangui to speak, Haoge stood up and said, "Get back."
