Chapter 443

Shanhaiguan.

Since the water transport was cut off, the imperial court was unable to support the high military expenditure in Liaodong. The generals in Liaodong were families. Naturally, they encouraged the soldiers to mutiny as before.

If in the past, as long as the soldiers in Liaodong made a scene, Chongzhen would have to gather together their troops and want to escort them as soon as possible.

But this time, no matter how fierce the trouble in Liaodong was, Chongzhen was indifferent. He just issued a decree to let all the soldiers and people in Liaodong withdraw to Shanhaiguan.

This made the generals in Liaodong anxious. They cut off people's wealth, just like killing their parents. At the beginning, they shouted one by one, and even threatened to enter the capital, go to the king's side of the Qing Dynasty and kill the crafty and crafty.

It can be seen that the imperial court and Chongzhen still don't care, and they don't dare to really enter the capital. After a while, they may also know that Daming really can't squeeze any oil and water. They have to take out their own money to appease the soldiers. Obviously, they don't dare to really make the soldiers disorderly.

However, on the issue of whether to move all to the west of Shanhaiguan, the generals had serious differences. Some people wanted to stay in Eastern Liaoning and some planned to return to Shanhaiguan.

After recovering some vitality, Huang Taiji will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Huang Taiji even personally went to the border of Eastern Liaoning to win over.

High officials and rich salaries, money and beautiful women smashed, coupled with great disappointment at Daming, most generals chose to surrender Houjin, which won millions of soldiers and civilians and countless lands in vain.

Only Wu Sangui retreated to Shanhaiguan with more than ten thousand troops. Chongzhen didn't treat him badly. He not only summoned him in person, but also appointed an earl and was promoted to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

At this time, Wu Sangui, who was young and strong, was no longer as energetic as when he just returned from the capital. Instead, he was worried and even confused. He didn't know where the future was.

"Marshal, Huang Taiji sent someone again. Can you see him?"

"No... wait, put them in the inn first!" Wu Sangui waved his hand, thought that there was not much military food in the city, and hesitated.

"What's the latest situation in the capital?"

"Marshal, according to the report of the spies, the nearest thief army has hit Wuqing three days ago. Now it is said that the capital city has arrived."

"What about Datong Xuanfu? Are there still no troops to rescue? " Wu Sangui looked at the king Qin's imperial edict in his hand and still asked.

"Marshal, where are there any reinforcements to rescue the capital now?"

"Yes, marshal, I heard that there are millions of thieves. I'm afraid the capital will be broken sooner or later. I'd better make plans sooner or later."

All the generals looked at Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui waved powerlessly. Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, he was helpless to the extreme.

Although he wanted to go to Qin Wang, he had only five thousand cavalry and ten thousand infantry. He was unable to defend Shanhaiguan, not to mention fighting millions of anti thieves.

At the same time, Huang Taiji and a group of Baylor in Jinzhou City were excited.

Although the year before last Qin Huan led his troops north and joined forces with Lu Xiangsheng and sun chuanting, the Houjin Tartars who entered the customs and looted not only suffered heavy losses, but also didn't get any shit, it doesn't mean that Huang Taiji lost his ambition and ambition to enter the Central Plains.

Especially since the beginning of this year, the situation in the pass has taken a sharp turn for the worse, so that they have won large tracts of fertile fields and people in Eastern Liaoning, and their strength has returned to the peak again.

This time, the three-way anti thieves went north to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Taiji finally saw the opportunity.

No matter how many anti thieves there were, he didn't pay attention to them, let alone the three parties belonged to each other.

Based on the news and understanding of the Han people, he is sure that as soon as the capital is broken, the three anti thieves will fight for the throne. At that time, Da Jin's iron cavalry can occupy the whole North in one fell swoop as long as they are almost ready to fight and suddenly enter the pass.

But the premise of all this is to take down the mountain customs first. The most ideal is to secretly recruit Wu Sangui, so as to paralyze the three thief kings and take them by surprise.

However, he promised many benefits and even didn't hesitate to treat him as a lord, but the damn Wu Sangui was indifferent and had a headache.

"Big sweat, Mr. Fan is back."

"Oh, come on, bring it in right away..." Huang Taiji saw that fan Wenchen was back and immediately hurried. It can be seen how much attention he paid to the surrender of Wu Sangui.

"See you, Khan!"

"Mr. Fan doesn't have to be polite. Can you see that Wu Sangui this time?" Huang Taiji waved his hand and couldn't wait to say.

"Back to the Khan, I saw Wu Sangui this time, but judging from his tone, I'm afraid it's impossible to recruit him, so the Khan had better make another plan."

Fan Wencheng, dressed as a scribe, shook his head helplessly.

Huang Taiji frowned and said in a deep voice, "Ben Khan not only promised him to be king in the future, but also was willing to give him his most beloved Ge Ge. Isn't he satisfied?"

"Father Khan, that dog is so arrogant. Why bother so much? It's just a mountain and sea pass. There are only 20000 soldiers. Can you really resist my golden iron horse? "

Hogg gnashed his teeth and got the way. Others were also angry. They had long been dissatisfied with big Khan's great efforts to recruit and surrender Wu Sangui. They also couldn't figure out how big Khan treated the Han people in Liaodong without looting.

"What do you know? Although the Shanhaiguan Pass is small, it is the key to whether Da Jin can enter the Central Plains. Therefore, no amount of thought can be too much. "

"Starling, although the Shanhaiguan Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wu Sangui is helpless. I don't believe that our red cannon can't open it. There's a saying in the Han people that it's called the alliance under the city. I think it's better to shoot a few shots under the Shanhaiguan city to ensure that the turtle grandson opens the city immediately!"

Azig was a little unconvinced.

Huang Taiji glanced at him and said coldly, "hum! If we attack Shanhaiguan at this time, even if we do, it will arouse the vigilance of the three thief kings. At that time, we will join hands to attack us first, but it will be too late to attack Shanhaiguan after they decide the victory or defeat. "

Although the anti thieves in the central plains are all mobs, there are a large number of them after all, so Huang Taiji knows that if they are not allowed to fight inside first, Da Jin's iron cavalry will return in vain.

"Starling, I can't beat Shanhai Pass now. Wu Sangui refuses to obey. It's better to send a cavalry to bypass the north of Shanhai Pass from the Mongolian grassland and sneak into the pass. At that time, it's better to cooperate inside and outside and force Wu Sangui to surrender."

Dourgen, who has been silent, finally stood up and suggested.

"That's the only way." Huang Taiji sighed, but he still didn't give up. Looking at fan Wencheng, he said, "Mr. Fan, you go again and tell Wu Sangui that as long as he agrees to obey me, all the soldiers in Liaodong can be under his command. In the future, he can choose the women in the central Plains. Ben Khan can swear with blood and will never lose him in his lifetime!"
