443 Aobai's heart is cold
"As long as I can save my mother, it's worth it!"
Emperor Chongzhen understood his mood and said his thoughts.
It would be fine if I didn't say it, but after that, Chen Shaozong was very surprised. Then, he had no words, just knocked his head on the ground, and the "dong dong dong" sound was still very loud.
Li Laiheng, who was standing next to him, was also very shocked. He looked at Emperor Chongzhen seriously, and then at Chen Shaozong who was kowtowing on the ground. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Even if it doesn't work, the old lady must be in peace!"
Seeing that Chen Shaozong had blood on his head just a few times, Emperor Chongzhen quickly waved his hand and asked Lan Tianbao to help him up and said, "You have to do the thing to save your mother!"
"Your Majesty, I...I..." Chen Shaozong knelt stubbornly on the ground, unable to find a suitable word to express his mood for a while, and finally kowtowed hard, making a loud "bang", then stood up and wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve.
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head when he saw it, and ordered Lan Tianbao to bandage him, and then wrote a decree with him and handed it to Li Laiheng, asking him to bring it back to Lu Xiangsheng.
…………
A few days later, in Jinzhou, a deep courtyard, the Jianlu soldiers were guarding tightly, and there were guard posts in the courtyard gate and other places. However, in front of a lobby, there was a recliner, with an old man lying on it, basking in the sun, closing his eyes to rest. There were two beautiful maids, one pounding his shoulders and the other pounding his legs.
Those who don’t know can’t tell at all that this old man has countless blood from the Ming military and civilians in his hands. He is Prince Heshuo Li of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin Gioro Daishan.
It was already the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and he was already fifty-nine and old.
When he was young, he wanted to fight for power. But as he grew older, he had let go of everything. Now he has been guarding Jinzhou and has no complaints, just treating it as a retirement here.
However, a burst of rapid footsteps came from far to near, and I knew there was something urgent at the first time.
Hearing this movement, Dai Shan's eyes suddenly opened, and the maid who was pounding her legs was so shocked that she beat her twice.
However, Dai Shan ignored him at all, but sat up and turned to look at the gate of the courtyard. At this time, a Jianlu had already come in. After seeing him, he immediately knelt down and reported: "Your Highness, the Ma Lai lurking on the beach. There are at least two hundred ships of the Dongjiang Navy, and they set out north in a mighty manner. You can see that the deck is full of Ming soldiers."
"Oh?" Dai Shan immediately turned his head and looked at the direction where Ming Jun was going. After thinking for a moment, he lay back again, and then said lightly: "I understand!"
In the past few months, Dai Shan has known that Huang Taiji has frequently mobilized people from all over the country, so he must have done something. Now the Ming army is moving north in a mighty way, which must be related to this. However, what does it have to do with Dai Shan and Jinzhou?
Moreover, the Ming army was at sea, so Dai Shan could only stare at this. As for reporting his whereabouts? There were Qing dynasties on the beach, so there were naturally other places who knew that the Ming army had such blatant actions.
This day passed like this. The operations of the Dongjiang Army were indeed not related to the affairs of Jinzhou. The situation here is calm!
The next day, Dai Shan was still basking in the sun, enjoying the peace of mind, and living a happy life. The troubles of the Qing Dynasty were all the emperor's affairs anyway.
From this point of view, if you don’t grab that position, you will have the benefit of not being in that position! This is not bad!
He thought about this, but was interrupted by a sound of footsteps, which made his brow frown slightly.
I have been in Jinzhou for more than two years and have been in peace with the Dongjiang Army. Why do I feel like I have had more trouble these two days?
Sure enough, the footsteps came here, and a Jianlu reported to him: "Chen Shaozong, the deputy general under King Huaishun, urgently met His Highness and said that he had the emperor's will."
"Oh?" Dai Shan stood up as soon as he heard this. Although he couldn't understand why Huang Taiji's will was conveyed by Chen Shaozong, it did not prevent him from making a respectful attitude after hearing the will.
After a while, he put on a python robe, which was very formal. When he turned to the front yamen, he saw Chen Shaozong's embarrassed expression, still wearing casual clothes, standing there alone waiting for him.
At this moment, he became curious, what's going on?
He also knew this person, and he was Geng Zhongming's confidant. He was so embarrassed to pass the order. What the hell was going on?
As if he knew he was confused, Chen Shaozong immediately took out a package from his arms when he saw him coming out, uncovered it on the spot, revealing an imperial edict, and then presented it with both hands and said, "Please take a look!"
Dai Shanduo had to set up a fragrant hall to welcome him, but the result was like this, which made him a little confused. He took the imperial edict transferred by the guards and immediately opened it and started to look.
After reading it, he was still confused, but he could guess that it was probably related to the current situation.
"Now we have already found a plan with the Dongjiang Army. I urgently need your help!" Chen Shaozong explained hurriedly, "Some time ago, the emperor came to Phoenix Castle and deliberately seized the title of my prince in front of everyone..."
He told the whole story, of course, and finally decided to make a fake show and betray the matter of being betrayed by his son when he went home. He would definitely not say it.
Before, Emperor Chongzhen asserted that Huang Taiji would not tell Jinzhou about this matter, and it would be even more impossible to inform Jinzhou about the progress of the matter in real time. Otherwise, if there were more people who knew about the matter, Huang Taiji would definitely be worried about the leak of the news. After all, Jianlu was still hoping that Chen Shaozong could deceive the Dongjiang Army.
Now, Chen Shaozong has just arrived at Guanglu Island, and it is normal for the Dongjiang Army to delay a few days before departure. Therefore, Huang Taiji spent all his efforts to make the layout on Phoenix Castle, and he would never easily withdraw it unless it was confirmed that the Dongjiang Army was not deceived.
It is based on such inference that of course, Ye Wuwang surveillance of Jinzhou can also prove his inference from another aspect. Emperor Chongzhen decided to send Chen Shaozong to fool Daishan.
"...My general and my prince went to Guanglu Island to successfully lure the main force of the Dongjiang Army. However, he didn't expect that Lu Xiangsheng would divide his troops and go ashore in advance, saying that he wanted to support the army. If there was any problem, the Qing Dynasty cut off the Dongjiang Army and retreated to the riverside, so there would be a way out." Chen Shaozong continued to write down, "My prince is right next to Lu Xiangsheng and cannot walk away. Therefore, he gave Mo General the decree, so that Mo General would find His Highness and draw two thousand cavalry to block the Dongjiang Army's retreat from behind."
After Chen Shaozong said so much, Dai Shan couldn't help but sigh that Huang Taiji had spent so much effort. At this time, he naturally knew why Huang Taiji frequently mobilized people from all over the world. He could only set up a trap of ambushing heavy troops when he was mobilized too much.
When Geng Zhongming was transferred from Jinzhou to Phoenix Castle, Huang Taiji had already started to make arrangements at that time, right? Dai Shan guessed, and finally sighed in his heart: "It turns out that the fourth brother is still cunning enough, treacherous enough, and has such a big layout. It's not unreasonable that he snatched the position at that time!"
Thinking of this, he looked at the will in his hand. Of course, he did not doubt the authenticity of the imperial edict, and he could still tell at a glance. He looked at this will and lamented that Huang Taiji gave Geng Zhongming such great power in order to eliminate the Dongjiang army.
However, if the Dongjiang Army could really be eliminated, it would be worth it even if so many things were done. Dai Shan continued to think in his heart that if he ruined Huang Taiji's good deeds in this matter, he would definitely be scolded or even punished...
He was thinking, and Chen Shaozong was waiting, feeling a little worried, but he didn't dare to show it.
After a long time, Dai Shan suddenly looked up and asked Chen Shaozong, "How many troops did Lu Xiangsheng divide his troops?"
"When you go back to your Highness, you are the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army. You came ashore early, about 2,000." Chen Shaozong didn't know why he asked this, but these questions were expected and he immediately answered.
Hearing this reply, Dai Shan nodded and said, "Okay, go and have a rest first. I will ask someone to prepare."
Chen Shaozong had no choice but to go down.
As soon as he left, Dai Shan ordered his personal guards to verify the situation of the Dongjiang cavalry coming ashore in advance.
The whole set of acting was really a must for Li Dingguo's two thousand cavalrymen to get ashore in advance.
Therefore, Daishan quickly verified the news and it was indeed true.
So he did not hesitate and passed on Chen Shaozong's past.
To be honest, Chen Shaozong was always a little worried that he would not have the time to rest. At this time, he was very nervous when he heard Dai Shan pass on him, because he was afraid that Dai Shan's affairs would fall apart and would affect his mother's saving.
Obviously, he was worried too much, so he heard Dai Shan say to him: "The cavalry of the Dongjiang Army is composed of Qin soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and is considered the elite of the Ming army. I think that if only two thousand cavalry were sent to block it, it would be not enough. Therefore, all three thousand cavalry in the city can be mobilized. In addition, you should follow the emperor's will and go to Xinjin City to mobilize troops. Be sure to cooperate with the emperor to catch all the Dongjiang army in one place and pull out this nail for our Qing Dynasty!"
When Chen Shaozong heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Before, the Ming army estimated that the maximum force that Dai Shan could accept was Dai Shan's ability to transfer out two thousand Jianlu. But unexpectedly, Dai Shan took the initiative to increase his troops and sent out all the cavalry in Jinzhou City! And that's not counting, so he also advised him to go to Xinjin City to draw troops.
At this moment, he realized that the Dongjiang Army led by Governor Lu was really a thorn in Jianlu's side and a thorn in his flesh, which was at the point where he had to be removed at any cost.
Chen Shaozong naturally agreed to Dai Shan’s suggestion.
Of course, the three thousand cavalry sent by Daishan will not be led by Chen Shaozong.
This time, Dai Shan arrived at the head of Jinzhou City and watched the Jinzhou cavalry leave. After a long time, he ordered the rotating general and said, "Although the main force of the Dongjiang Army has gone north, the Jinzhou army has only three thousand. Be careful to look at the city gate and don't have any accidents!"
…………
At the Phoenix Castle, Obai was in charge and was waiting for news from the Dongjiang Army.
This time, Huang Taiji handed over this task to him, which made him feel very stressed.
This kind of pressure does not mean that he does not have enough troops, but that he feels the importance of eliminating the Dongjiang Army.
Before he came, Huang Taiji had repeatedly explained to him that once the Dongjiang army came ashore, he would mobilize troops from all over the place and immediately entangle the Dongjiang army, and he must not let the Dongjiang army escape back to the ship. Then, he used his will to mobilize the surrounding Qing army to surround and annihilate it.
This is the first time that Oboi leads his army alone, and it is still such an important thing. If you are nervous, it is inevitable.
Geng Jimao, who followed him, saw it and comforted Obai, "That Chen Shaozong is a famous filial son. Please rest assured. If he is in the hands of the emperor, he will definitely be obedient."
After hearing this, Oboi nodded. He agreed with this. Before he actually let Chen Shaozong go, he also went to inquire. He knew that Chen Shaozong was indeed very filial to his mother, the kind of person who would rather be willing to live his own life than listen to his mother's words and not let his mother feel wronged.
Otherwise, how could such a big thing be released?
After waiting for a few days, just when Oboi was a little impatient, a fast rider rushed to Phoenix Castle and reported to him that the Ming navy had indeed driven northward in a mighty manner and had entered the Yalu River.
When Obai heard this, he was overjoyed. The emperor knew that the amount of Phoenix Castle and Zhenjiang Castle was enough, so that even a capable person like Lu Xiangsheng could not withstand the temptation and could lead the snake out of the hole!
So he secretly left Phoenix Castle and went around the Daqing elite lurking around. He confirmed that there was no problem before returning to Phoenix Castle.
As soon as the Ming army came ashore, these first reliable elite troops of the Qing Dynasty would cut off the retreat of the Dongjiang Army under his command, and then other Qing troops would be able to encircle and suppress them openly.
With this dream, Oboi waited and waited, but he didn't wait for the news that the Ming army had arrived ashore. It seemed that the Ming navy slowed down after entering the Yalu River. In the end, it was storm's speed and even stopped directly.
At this moment, Oboi became anxious. Could it be that the Dongjiang Army discovered something? But the troops from Phoenix Castle and Zhenjiang Castle did not move at all. The elite troops he brought were lurking on the periphery! Could it be that Chen Shaozong showed some clues?
Finally one day, Jianlu brought a man to see Obai and said to him: "He is a Korean and has been with the Korean Navy before. He explained that the waterlines of the military ships were not deep. He estimated that there was no Ming army in the cabin at all, and there were only those on the deck on the Ming Navy ship."
"What?" Oboi was shocked when he heard this, and was a little unbelievable, so he asked for details again.
Jianlu plundered a lot of people from North Korea, and there were naturally some traitors among them. In fact, there were many Korean soldiers in Jianlu's army. This Korean was just one of many Koreans.
