Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 74 Sun Zhixie Must Die, Ren Qi Severes His Wrist

It was the first time to besiege Jining City, and the Qing army was defeated and temporarily stopped.The Qing army suffered nearly 3 casualties, Azig took away more than [-] cavalry, more than half of the red cannons were lost, and there were not many shells left, Dorgon was in trouble.

But the grain transport army in the rear was attacked by the Ming army, and Dorgon was devastated.But this person is very deep in the city, on the surface he is calm and calm, as if he will not give up until Jining is taken down.

After three days of stalemate, at dawn, the Qing army suddenly launched a fierce attack again.The cannon fire raged, and the killing sound was louder, which was even more violent than the first attack.

The Ming army resisted tenaciously, but facing this ferocious attack by the Qing army, many people felt that the situation was critical and the situation was not optimistic.

"Your Majesty, Dorgon has come up with the determination to break the boat. I am worried that Jining will not be saved sooner or later. Please make preparations early." As the governor of the Beijing camp, Liu Wenbing must first consider the emperor's safety.

Li Cunming smiled, and said to the courtiers around him: "Do you really think that Dorgon is going to die?"

"The Qing soldiers who attacked the city went crazy, clamoring to avenge Hauge; since the dawn, the sound of artillery has not stopped. And Duoduo personally went to the battle to supervise the battle, all of which show that Dorgon has made up his mind Lah." Weng Zhiqi said.

Li Cunming looked at Zhou Yuji: "Zhou Aiqing, what do you think?"

Zhou Yuji pondered and said: "Something is wrong, there is always something wrong. The Tatars have suffered heavy losses and the morale of the army has been shaken. How could they dare to attack fiercely? There are 15 horses in Jining City. Does Dorgon want to die with us?"

Li Cunming laughed loudly: "As I said before, Zhou Aiqing is a handsome talent. Your sense is very keen. The Qing soldiers' attack on the city is really unreasonable. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. I conclude that Dorgon is only advancing and retreating. We are going to retreat!"

"Retreat?" The ministers were puzzled.

Li Cunming analyzed: "The Tartars suffered heavy losses, and Azig took away [-] elites. The strength of the enemy and us has quietly changed. Dorgon must be well aware of this. If you read this secret report again, It was brought by people from the Ren Qi faction, and according to my arrangement, he has ambushed his troops in the elm forest in Liaocheng, harassing and attacking the Qing army's grain transportation team, and he must have succeeded in the past few days."

"The strength is damaged, the morale of the army is unstable, and there is trouble in the rear. Do you think Dorgon has any other options besides retreating?"

Liu Wenbing said: "But why does he want to attack the city and lose many soldiers in vain?"

"This is the power of Dorgon. While sending troops to attack the city, he also arranges to retreat. He can not only deter our army, but also retreat calmly. Oh, although I hate the Tartars, I have to say that Dorgon has Where people are!" Li Cunming said.

The development of the war was as expected by Li Cunming.At dawn, the sound of the Qing army's artillery gradually died down, and the siege troops also withdrew.By noon, the Qing army had already retreated from Jining.

Dorgon was riding on the war horse, sighing helplessly. He looked back at Jining City for the last time, and said to himself: "Chongzhen, I have been fighting for many years, and you are the first person who makes me admire you! That's all, in the future Let's fight again!"

In fact, Dorgon had already made up his mind to retreat when Azig led his troops away.For no other reason, he stayed away from the capital, worried that Azig would kidnap Emperor Shunzhi after returning to the capital, and that would be the real big trouble.

Li Cunming brought a group of courtiers to the camp of the Qing army and walked around.The emperor is as good as God, and all the ministers admire and praise him sincerely.

Li Cunming said with a cold face: "Everyone, look at the signs in the camp. Dorgon left calmly, without any signs of panic. This person should not be underestimated. I have always said that the Tartars are our number one enemy. The main reason is that the Tartars are full of talents, can you understand?"

"Your servants, please keep this in mind!"

Zhou Yuji said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send troops to chase after him?"

"In the battle of Jining, I just want to fight so that the Tartars no longer dare to underestimate us and spy on Jiangnan. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is a huge gap between us and the Tartars, so let's not compete with Dorgon for a day."

"But there is one person, I will never let him go, and that is the national scum Sun Zhixie, Sun Zhixie must die!"

When Li Cunming said this, he burst into anger and ordered: "Sun Zhixie became the governor of Shandong in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I guess he will go to Jinan to take up the post. Weng Zhiqi and Yan Yingyuan listened to the order and took 3 people to go north quickly. Liaocheng supported Ren Qi, and then went to Jinan to capture Sun Zhixie."

……

Sun Zhixie was shameless and advocated that "Han people shave their hair and wear clothes easily", which won Dorgon's favor.In just a few months, he was promoted from the right servant of the Ministry of Rites to the governor of Shandong Province and the title of Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, becoming a feudal official with the power of life and death.

The Manchus besieged Jining and returned without success. Two princes were killed, and morale was low.

But none of this hindered Sun Zhixian's self-satisfied mood. From the eunuch who was hated and ostracized by everyone in the Ming Dynasty, he turned into a feudal official. Sun Zhixian didn't care about defeat. He just wanted to return to his hometown in glory and show off. .

Sun Zhixie was from Zichuan County, Shandong Province. Before returning to his hometown, he followed Dorgon's military order and led [-] troops to encircle and suppress the Ming army in Liaocheng.

Although he only has 5000 people in his hand, he has a lot of pomp.Along the way, the gongs and drums cleared the way, and the suona never stopped. Sun Zhixie sat in the eight-carried sedan chair, commanding and arrogant.

About to arrive in Liaocheng, the master kindly persuaded him: "Master Futai, the Ming army led by Ren Qi is hiding in the elm forest in Liaocheng, not far away. I think it is better to order the blowers to stop, so as not to alarm the enemy. Let's quietly surround them." Yulin, hit Ren Qi by surprise."

"What do you know? Ren Qi and his group are nothing more than bandits. They are not a serious army at all. What are you afraid of?" Sun Zhixie disapproved, and said contemptuously, "I made such a big noise to make the bandits We know that the power of the sky cannot be offended, so deter them!"

When they arrived in Liaocheng, they dispatched troops to encircle and suppress Ren Qi's troops without haste.I thought I would be able to catch him, but I didn't expect that I would hit a hard nail. Hundreds of people died in the first battle.

Sun Zhixie was so angry that he jumped up and cursed: "These tricksters are extremely cunning! Relying on the cover of the elm forest, they climbed the trees and drilled tunnels, and if some species came out to confront them head-on, it's unreasonable!"

After scolding enough, he came up with a vicious plan and ordered: "Set fire to the elm forest. After the fire is over, dig the embankment to divert water to flood it. I want to see, where else can Ren Qi hide?"

The Qing soldiers immediately set fires everywhere. The sky was dry and everything was dry, and the elm forest was covered with dead leaves. The fire broke out ragingly and burned for several days and nights.

Thick smoke was billowing, and it was impossible to hide in the tunnel.Ren Qi decided to withdraw from Liaocheng with his subordinates and go to Yimeng Mountain to fight guerrilla warfare, but his whereabouts were revealed, and the Qing soldiers tightly clung to him.

On this day, the Qing soldiers forced Ren Qi's troops to a cliff, and surrounded them in groups, making it impenetrable.

Sun Zhixie rode his horse to the bottom of the cliff, raised his head and shouted: "Ren Qi, put down your weapon and surrender, I can still leave your whole body!"

Ren Qi scolded: "Sun Zhixie, you traitorous dog, you are a sinner of our Han family through the ages, grandpa wants to peel your skin and eat your flesh! Expect grandpa to surrender to you, go dreaming!"

As he spoke, he condescendingly shot an arrow.The feather arrow shot off Sun Zhixie's official hat, causing him to shrink back in fright, his bald head glaringly glaring.

Sun Zhixie was furious, and shouted: "Kill, kill all these unscrupulous people, leave no one behind!"

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of gunfire, and an army of [-] soldiers led by Weng Zhiqi and Yan Yingyuan came to kill.The Qing soldiers collapsed at the touch of a touch, and the rats ran away in embarrassment.

"Brother Ren, are you okay?" Yan Yingyuan shouted loudly.

"Mr. Yan, I'm fine, I'm not dead yet!" Ren Qi was ecstatic, and seeing Sun Zhixie galloping on horseback trying to escape, he hurriedly shouted, "That man is Sun Zhixie, don't let him escape!"

"It turns out that Sun Zhixie is here, which saves me a lot of trouble!" Weng Zhiqi rushed out first, and captured Sun Zhixie alive not long after.

This battle is like a storm, it comes and goes quickly.All 5000 Qing soldiers were executed, and Sun Zhixie was tied to a tree by Wuhuada.

"Bah! You traitor, I cut you!" Ren Qi drew out his knife and was about to stab Sun Zhixie to death.

Yan Yingyuan stopped him and said, "The emperor has said that after capturing Sun Zhixian alive, he will take him to Xuzhou and the emperor will deal with it himself."

Sun Zhixie wept bitterly, and said: "Forgive me, I was confused for a moment, as long as a few adults spare my life, I will repay your great kindness like a cow like a horse!"

"Bone!" Weng Zhiqi shook his head and sneered, pointing at Yan Yingyuan and said, "Sun Zhixie, you are the governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty, and Lord Yan Yingyuan is the governor of Shandong appointed by our Ming Dynasty. Man Qing will not end well!"

Yan Yingyuan laughed, and said: "What are you talking about with him? It's dirty our tongues. Let's talk about serious business, Brother Ren, we are going to escort Sun Zhixie back to Xuzhou, you come with us."

Ren Qi looked embarrassed and hesitated.

Yan Yingyuan understood his thoughts and persuaded him: "After so many things, do you still have prejudice against the emperor? Brother Ren, can't you see how wise and powerful the emperor is? Besides, the emperor's fight against the Tartars Determination, no one can match!"

"I... I'm just ashamed of what happened before. Forget it, I'll follow you to Xuzhou."

As Ren Qi said, he walked up to a rock, put his left hand on it, and suddenly drew out his knife and chopped it down. His left wrist was broken, and blood gushed out.

"Ah, what are you doing?" Yan Yingyuan and Weng Zhiqi were taken aback.

"I once stabbed His Majesty the Emperor with a knife. I committed a heinous crime. I cut off one hand to make amends. The reason why I cut off my left hand is because I want to save my right hand to fight the enemy and serve the Emperor!"

Ren Qi's face was pale, and he couldn't hold on when he said this, and fell to the ground.

"Quick, bandage Brother Ren's wound!" Yan Yingyuan yelled, and rushed to hug Ren Qi.

The army was stationed on the spot for a day and a night, and when Ren Qi regained some vitality, he went south to Xuzhou in a mighty way.
