Chapter 8: Bloody Battle at Ningyuanzhong (1)

On the night of September 8, the seventh year of Tianqi, Huang Taiji's central army tent was summoned to discuss military affairs. At this moment, Huang Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty led the 70,000 troops of the Eight Banners to besiege Ningyuan for a full twenty-six days.

Sixteen red candles with thick arms shone the huge central army tent into the daytime. Huang Taiji sat on the tiger-skin sweat throne with his eyes narrowed. The Chinese officials and generals stood in two rows, and no one dared to make any sound at this time.

"What is this domineering master? Almost all Guaner Ben Khan, who is above the general of the Ming Dynasty, know where this person came from?" Huang Taiji suddenly opened his eyes and asked at the tent.

Sanbeile Manguertai set out and said, "No matter where he came from, it's just a pussy. I think the domineering person is just a pustule. Why are you summoning so many people to discuss? Dahan only needs to give me 10,000 elite soldiers, and he will be able to take the head of the domineering person to Dahan!" He said that he was timid and timid, as timid as a mouse, inherited the Khan throne, Dai Shan and other three bele swore allegiance to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji then set up eight ministers to manage state affairs, saying that Bagushan Ezhen was in charge of all affairs in the banner. If the country had affairs, he would "sit together with Zhubeile" and "sit together with Zhubeile," hunting and training, and each led the flag soldiers to conduct the inspection. Gushan Ezhen was established, which weakened Zhubeile's power, but strengthened his power. Even if Manguertai was dissatisfied, he could only talk about it.

Huang Taiji remained silent. He knew that after he ascended the throne, he weakened the power of the other three major Belors. They all held a grudge, but they all vowed to be loyal to themselves. Due to the oath, they could not do anything to themselves, but verbal contradictory happens from time to time. If it weren't for the brothers of flesh and blood, he would have dealt with these people long ago.

"Xiandou, do you have any information about this person's life in the inside?" Huang Taiji turned to Fan Wencheng, who was standing among the civil officials, and asked.

"You are a knight, although there is a little news from the inside, I just don't think it will be of any use to our army." Fan Wencheng leaned over and said.

"Tell me, look."

"Insider information says that this person was a man from the secret residence before King Xin ascended the throne. His origin seemed very mysterious. After Wei Zhongxian forced the palace to make a palace accident, he assisted a woman named Li Niang and his concubine Ye Lianyi to rectify the Beijing camp. Later, because the woman was in charge of the army and the imperial concubine in the harem also participated, the court officials criticized him and were forced to remove the position of Li Niang, and let a person named Lu Haotian walk forward. This Xiongba was appointed to replace Cui Chengxiu's younger brother Cui Ningxiu as the general of Ji Town. Now he was added to the position of Ningqiandao Censorship by the emperor of the Ming court, and led 33,000 reinforcements to Ningyuan." Fan Wenchen said.

"It seems that this Xiongba is quite mysterious." Huang Taiji muttered to himself, then smiled, "It's ridiculous that this Han emperor from the Southern Ming actually asked his concubine to rectify the army!"

After Huang Taiji said this, all the ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty laughed out loud. The faces of Han officials such as Fan Wencheng felt a little feverish. Fortunately, they were taken back in time. Otherwise, they would probably be laughed at the world. Although they were ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, the blood of the Han people flowed in their blood. The Han people had such an emperor, and there was no hope. Looking at the Later Jin Dynasty becoming stronger, they would sooner or later enter the Central Plains. I hope that they could treat the Han people well at that time.

"Khan, now there are no generals in the Han people in the Southern Ming Dynasty. They actually let a girl take care of their Beijing camp. In this way, this dominance is not worth worrying. We will win this battle!" Abatai stood up and said.

"Yes, we will win this battle!" Huang Taiji also stood up from the white tiger leather chair, surged with strong confidence, waved his hand and said loudly.

The generals in the tent were immediately infected by the head coach's belief that he would win, and they waved their fists and shouted together:

"This battle will definitely win!" "This battle will definitely win!" "This battle will definitely win!"

"Mangguertai, Abatai obeys the order!" Huang Taiji saw that the generals in the tent were in high spirits and their morale was like rainbows. He immediately pulled out a golden command arrow from the commander's case and shouted.

"Mangguertai, and Abatai waited for the Khan's order!" Mangguertai and Abatai knelt down together and said.

"Ben Khan gives you ten thousand elite cavalry, are you sure to defeat this domineering dog?"

"I am going to issue a military order!" Manguertai and Abatai looked at each other, and both showed great confidence. In terms of field battles, the Ming army's 100,000 may not be the opponent of the Eight Banners elite cavalry. What is the point that cannot be established?

"Okay, I'll capture this Xiong Bald Man alive for Ben Khan. I'll see what kind of person the Nanming, the young emperor of Nan Ming, sent to Ben Khan, hahaha!" Huang Taiji laughed loudly and threw the command arrow of the troops to the hands of Mangourtai who was kneeling under the tent.

"Mangguertai, and Abatai respects Khan's orders!" Mangguertai and Abatai turned around and left the tent, went down to dispatch troops and generals.

"Shank you, Ning Yuan is about to run out of ammunition and food. It is almost winter. The soldiers under Yuan Chonghuan have not distributed cotton coats for the winter. Judging from the ministers, they can't hold on for a few days." The speaker was the surrendered general who surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, the former guerrilla general of Fushun, and now the third-class general, Li Yongfang.

Huang Taiji's awe of Yuan Chonghuan began with Nurhaci's death, but now Yuan Chonghuan was trapped in the lonely city of Ningyuan, surrounded by him until he was trapped and starved to death in the city, leaving him with no way to do anything about himself. His fear disappeared with fullness and began to expand his confidence. This opportunity is once a year. If you cannot take Ningyuan this time and open up the southward passage, you will not know when you will have such an opportunity next time, unless another huge change occurs in the Ming court, but such an accident does not come at all. When and where can I enter the Central Plains, and trample on the Han people who have bullied us Jin people for hundreds of years, so that they will become the most despicable slaves of our Jin people!

At the same time, the city of Ningyuan was dark. For the past twenty days, the officers and soldiers in the city were trapped in the city, with hunger and cold. I don’t know when the army of the Later Jin Dynasty would attack. Yuan Chonghuan attacked the past day with an uncertain number of attacks every day. So far, only four or five times a day. He knew that Huang Taiji’s intention was to trap tens of thousands of soldiers in Ningyuan City to death here. The food and grass in the city were decreasing day by day, and the weather became colder and colder. The soldiers did not have cotton coats to keep the cold, and they shivered at night. They could only team up to keep warm. The winter was coming soon. If Ningyuan’s siege could not be untied before it snowed, and the soldiers would be able to transform the cotton coats for the winter, I’m afraid Ningyuan would have surrendered without fighting.
