Huang Taiji attacked the Inner Mongolia this time and looted beizhili. On the one hand, he wanted to make up for their losses in the war in southern Liaoning. On the other hand, he wanted to mobilize Liu Jiajun to fight in the field. He was tired of running, and then looked for opportunities to give him a fatal blow.
His calculation was very good. Their army attacked the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The timid emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming court will call local officers and soldiers to support the capital, so that they can calmly set up ambushes in various places and attack these troops who came to military rescue.
They were mainly light cavalry and elite infantry. They were very mobile and came and went like the wind. The Ming army was mainly infantry. They were easy to be attacked by the JianNu army.
Of course, their main goal this time is still to focus on Liu Jiajun. Other Ming armies are already garbage and difficult to shake up, which can not constitute a threat at all, while Liu Jiajun is rising strongly.
Outside their pass, there has always been a practice that once a tiger eats people, it must be killed anyway. Otherwise, when it tastes the taste, it will have uncontrollable desire and treat people as prey. Liu Jiajun is a born tiger and must be strangled in his childhood.
But this wave of operation made them feel that Keng dad was dying. They came to kill Liu Jiajun. Who knows, Liu Jiajun suddenly made such a scene. Their army entered the fortress on a large scale, not hurting Liu Jiajun, but helping him.
Now Huang Taiji knows that if they don't do anything, they will sit and watch in Liaoyang. It is estimated that Liu Jiajun and the imperial court will fight themselves. They can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and calmly clean up the mess.
Who knows that the imperial court was already at loggerheads with Liu Jiajun and almost fought. Who knows that he suddenly entered the fortress and attacked all parts of the capital, which brought great trouble to the Ming court. They were prepared to deal with Liu Jiajun's army and used it to deal with JianNu.
Because the place JianNu looted now is the beizhili of Daming, the place they must save. If their capital is gone, the imperial court will be gone, and Daming will play, so they can only burn their eyebrows -- just focus on the present and deal with JianNu first.
Such a situation, however, made Huang Taiji, who was bent on dealing with Liu Jiajun, spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But at this time, they also came to the time of riding a tiger. They suffered extremely heavy losses in southern Liaoning. It can be said that all villages and villages wore hemp and filial piety. The whole post Jin country was immersed in a miserable wind and rain. If they did not win a brilliant victory and regain their prestige, their hearts would be scattered.
So this time, they find soft persimmons to pinch and send out an army to attack Daming. On the one hand, they want to drive Liu Jiajun. On the other hand, they also rob the rich Daming to make up for their losses. Since they have no way to mobilize Liu Jiajun, they will occupy more cities in Daming and plunder more population resources from him to make up for their losses.
Only by grabbing a large amount of things from Daming and compensating the leaders of various tribes will he make up for their losses and let everyone spend the winter safely. If the troops withdraw at this time, it will certainly give the imperial court a sigh of relief. After a sigh of relief, they will immediately go south to clean up Liu Jiajun.
However, it will make the nobles of Jianzhou extremely dissatisfied. Therefore, Huang Taiji saw such a situation. He wanted to help Daming deal with Liu Jiajun, but he had no good plan. He could only order all armies to continue to loot the major cities in the north of Daming, and rob as many people, cattle, sheep, gold and silver as possible to make up for their losses.
JianNu cavalry marched across beizhili. Wherever they went, the Ming army cried for their father and mother, so that the Ming army all stayed in the city day and night. They prayed for God to worship the Buddha. They only hoped that JianNu would not come. Where else would anyone dare to send troops to Qinwang for rescue? Even Jizhen, which is closest to the capital, gathered the main force of the army in the area of Santun camp, They were ready to meet JianNu's attack at any time, but they didn't have the courage to send troops to the capital 200 miles away.
Even Xuanfu Town, which is far from the capital, did not dare to send troops to the capital for rescue. Only governor Lu Xiangsheng led his heavenly male army to the capital overnight.
However, the Tianxiong army came all the way and was blocked by the famous slave general Dourgen. His elite white flag led by Dourgen fought with Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army in Yuxian County.
The Tianxiong army was ready to rush to the capital to help king Qin, but when they found a JianNu elite cavalry lying in wait to spy on them, even if Lu Xiangsheng's fierce and fearless, they were worried that they would be attacked by the other party when they were on their way.
The two sides faced off near Zhuo county.
Azig's army is tens of thousands. The Ming army shrank in the city and dared not come out in beizhili. However, with his strength, it is still very difficult to surround and attack the capital. Beijing is the largest city in the world and the most powerful defense system. There are more than 100000 people in the twelve battalions alone.
Azig's army was spread among the main city gates and had to attack all over the country. His troops were extremely empty. He could not even blockade and siege Beijing. This was also the reason why the special envoy of the imperial court was able to break through the enemy's blockade and spread the edict.
Although the JianNu army did not directly attack the capital, their siege of the capital made the capital panic and terrified.
The imperial court issued an edict to King Qin everywhere, asking their troops to go to Beijing immediately. King Qin rescued them, but all the troops did not come, which made the imperial court panic to the extreme.
Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, was originally ordered to go out to supervise the army and deal with the Liu family army, but when he first arrived in Baoding, such amazing news came.
He gathered the officers and soldiers of Baoding town and gathered up five thousand people. The five thousand people were supposed to go south to deal with Liu Jiajun, but JianNu ravaged beizhili and besieged the capital. Daming was in danger. He could only take these soldiers to rescue the capital.
Who knows, the news that JianNu was invincible and swept everything came again, which frightened Zhang Fengyi's recruits. Zhang Fengyi urged him day and night to order his generals to lead the army to the capital for rescue, but his officers and soldiers were desperate and refused to leave Baoding.
Seeing that his men refused to leave Baoding City, Zhang Fengyi was angry and relieved. What he was angry about was that these soldiers didn't listen to him at all. If he sat and watched the fall of the imperial court, he would become a sinner for thousands of years.
He was reassured that these soldiers were unwilling to fight with JianNu, which was also right. We should know that although the number of troops temporarily gathered by them was thousands, their combat effectiveness was very poor. If they went to fight with JianNu in the field, they would send vegetables and die. As the Minister of the Ministry of war, the imperial court issued edicts to him many times, and he had to go, but if these soldiers did not go, He can't follow and save his life.
Even though he shrank in Baoding and did not dare to go to the capital, he still sent people to Tianjin, Langfang and other places to dispatch troops, hoping to gather more troops and then deal with JianNu calmly.
Zhang Fengyi knew how powerful JianNu was. He knew that if he didn't have enough troops to fight with each other, he would be to die or to deliver vegetables. So his idea was to wait until Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng's army arrived, and he had more than 100000 troops and a large number of generals before he went to fight JianNu. Now he can only preserve his strength first.
This also makes Zhang Fengyi worried. His strength is that he can't deal with cheap slaves, let alone a Liu family army better than modeling, so they can only sit back and watch Liu family army occupy Dongchang mansion calmly.
There are more than ten counties under Dongchang mansion. Originally, the local garrison also asked the imperial court for emergency help. If the imperial court reinforcements arrive, they can also support them.
There are three guards in Dongchang mansion. Although Liu Zeqing has taken away the main force, local officials have summoned a lot of servants from the local landlord giants to form an army. They are preparing to cooperate with the imperial army to deal with the Xiaoning army going north.
Who knows that the imperial army can't come at all, and it has to deal with the wolf like JianNu, so it's even more impossible to say that it will send troops south to Dongchang mansion to support them. Therefore, it has become a situation that these disabled and defeated generals of Dongchang mansion deal with the Division of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves in Xiaoning alone.
They had no chance of winning against Xiao Ning's army. Under such a situation, it would be even more tragic. Therefore, when he saw that the imperial court was also facing great difficulties, he was unable to send troops south to support their resistance. When there was no hope of reinforcements, Jiang Yunxian, the governor of Dongchang, was deeply desperate and had no way, He hanged himself in his magistrate's office.
After Jiang Yunxian, the governor of Dongchang, committed suicide, the resistance around Dongchang became even weaker. Originally, some people wanted to fight with Liu Jiajun. After all, Liu Jiajun is a rebel and a weak party. When the court comes, everyone has no good life. It's better to wait for the army of the court.
Who knows that the Imperial Army didn't come, but JianNu came first, which made them feel that Daming was really declining. If they insisted on fighting against Liu Jiajun, they were afraid that they would be dead.
In particular, Dongchang magistrate Jiang Yun killed himself first, which brought a great blow to the local army and people. Originally, if this magistrate led us against the rebels, there would be some chances of winning, but this magistrate first hung himself in despair, which made the following people despair.
When they thought there was no hope of resistance, they put down their weapons and welcomed the Liu family army. As a result, Xiao Ning's army won Dongchangfu, an important town in northern Shandong, in just half a month. Even Linqing, the birthplace of the Liu family, also fell into Xiao Ning's control.
