People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

As Wu Yu ordered preparations for war, the huge war machine of the Ming Dynasty was put into operation all at once. In addition, almost all the important positions in important departments were in his hands, and no one dared to obstruct it.

Even Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue who always valued money, was not stingy with money. He gave money and people to people.

In August of the first year of Chongzhen, after more than three months of integration, the leader of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji, personally led an army of 80,000 (claimed to be 100,000), and after avoiding Ningyuan and Jinzhou where Wang Zaijin was, he divided his troops into three routes and broke into the pass from Longjing Pass, Hongshan Pass, and Da'an Pass.

When some officials who did not know the truth saw this situation, they asked Wu Yu to order the garrisons in various places to rush to the capital. In order to make the trick look more realistic, Wu Yu really followed the officials' request and asked the troops from other places to rush to the rescue.

Of course, it was impossible for those troops to arrive in a short time with their speed. Only Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yuji, and Cao Wenzhao, who had received orders in advance, led 10,000 troops each to return to Beijing secretly and stationed in a hidden valley dozens of miles away from the capital.

After receiving the news, Wang Zaijin, who was far away in Shanhaiguan, also secretly mobilized 30,000 troops, and immediately started to move after the Jiannu crossed the Great Wall, completely blocking Huang Taiji's retreat.

Next, they waited for the army led by Huang Taiji to fall into the pocket set by the Ming army and make dumplings for them.

While the Ming Dynasty secretly mobilized troops, the left-wing army led by Taiji Abatai and Ajige also broke through Longjing Pass with great momentum.

And Huang Taiji's central army also successfully occupied Hongshankou and Hanerzhuang.

However, he did not encounter any decent resistance after entering the city. In addition to some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, there was not even a woman or child.

This discovery made him frown, and he always felt that their entry into the pass was too smooth.

It was not until he sent someone to inquire that he learned that as early as three days ago, after learning that they were coming to kill, the young and strong, women and children in the city had all fled, leaving only some elderly people who had to stay because they were inconvenient to move, and because those people ran too fast, they didn't even have time to pack up many of their belongings.

As for the place where those people ran, it was not far away, just in a valley less than a hundred miles away from here.

"It seems that the Ming army is not all drunkards, and they can actually find us in advance!"

Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard the report from his subordinates.

The second Beile Daishan on the side said: "Then Khan, since the Ming army has discovered us, do you think we should change the plan?"

In his opinion, since their actions have been discovered by the enemy, the original plan will not work, and only by changing the strategy in time can they better deal with this battle.

However, after he finished speaking, Huang Taiji did not reply to him, but looked at the dog-headed military advisor beside him - the traitor Fan Wencheng.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Hearing that Huang Taiji did not respond to him, but asked Fan Wencheng next to him, Daishan's eyes flashed with anger.

And his expression naturally fell into the eyes of others, but neither Huang Taiji nor Fan Wencheng cared, anyway, this kind of thing was not the first time.

Especially Fan Wencheng has long been immune to this, because he knows that as long as Huang Taiji is still there, no one in the entire Jin Dynasty can touch him, including Daishan, one of the eight beiles, and the fact is indeed so.

Seeing Huang Taiji asking about himself at this moment, Fan Wencheng also hurriedly expressed his thoughts.

"Khan, I don't think it's necessary. Since the people below said that the people in the city were evacuated three days ago, it means that the Ming people must have known that we entered the pass from here for no more than five days.

As long as we fight quickly and plunder all the surrounding towns and villages, we will have left here and returned to Shengjing by the time the Ming army comes to help."

Huang Taiji nodded, "Yes, what you said is exactly what I want, but there is one thing you didn't consider, how can a few towns and villages satisfy the appetite of this Khan."

"The Khan means..."

Hearing Huang Taiji say this, Fan Wencheng seemed to have thought of something, and his face was full of disbelief.

"You guessed right, sir. It's not easy to go south once. If you don't take this opportunity to go to the Forbidden City, how can you be worthy of the 100,000 troops behind this Khan."

"Hiss!"

When these words came out, not only Fan Wencheng, but also Daishan, who had always been dissatisfied with Huang Taiji, took a breath.

You know, the reason they went south this time was because they had no food, so they had to take the risk to borrow the passage from Ligdan Khan to plunder. But they didn't expect that Huang Taiji, as their great Han, actually wanted to attack Beijing.

"Khan, isn't this too much?It's risky. Once the Ming army comes to support us, it won't be so easy for us to leave!" Compared with Huang Taiji's ambition, Fan Wencheng still thinks it's too risky. Although it's true that the Ming Dynasty is on the decline, it's not comparable to the current Jin Dynasty. A superpower with a population of 10 million can drown their 100,000 troops with just one spit. As if seeing Fan Wencheng's worries, Huang Taiji comforted him: "Don't worry, sir, I'm not a reckless person. Didn't you say just now that as long as we fight quickly, when the Ming army from all over the country comes to support us, we will have returned to Shengjing long ago." "Okay, Fan will listen to the Khan! "

At this moment, not only other people, but also Fan Wencheng was impressed by Huang Taiji's heroism. When he thought of what he had suffered in the Ming Dynasty, Fan Wencheng wanted to rush to Beijing to question the Ming emperor.

"Then Khan, do you want me to take people to kill those escaped Ming people? "

The fifteenth brother Duoduo, who was standing by, didn't think so much. He just wanted to kill those Ming people who escaped after hearing that his brother was going to do something big.

He loved killing people the most. If Huang Taiji hadn't stopped him again and again, he would have killed all the Ming people who had surrendered to them over the years.

I don't know what this brother was thinking. It's not as satisfying to kill people as to take captives.

As soon as Duoduo said this, Huang Taiji sighed. His fifteenth brother was good in everything except that he was too bloodthirsty. He didn't think about who would be their slaves to herd sheep and horses and who would be their cannon fodder for the siege if all the surrendered Ming people were killed.

What's more, he had just told Fan Wencheng that the main purpose of this time was to plunder the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and they must make a quick decision, but this brother was thinking about wasting time for those few Ming people who were hiding.
