【Today's second update is delivered!】
Daling River Fort is located east of Jinzhou, not far from Jinzhou. Its predecessor was the Zhongzuo of Guangning. Later, due to the loss of Guangning, its strategic position gradually became important. At the suggestion of Sun Chengzong, the Ming army in Liaodong spent a lot of effort to build a castle here. In the end, the Daling River Fort was completed. Unfortunately, not long after it was completed, it encountered a large-scale attack from the Tartars. In the end, Daling River Fort fell into the hands of the Tartars.
Standing on the mottled castle, even the most heart-warming person couldn't help but sigh. The Tartars' retreat was obviously very hasty, and there were too many things that didn't have time to be destroyed. There were too many traces of war inside and outside the Daling River Castle. Seeing these traces, the battle five years ago seemed to be still vivid in my mind.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Battle of Daling River Fort broke out. Huang Taiji concentrated the main force of 50,000 people under his command, all of which were elite cavalry to besiege Daling River Fort. The Ming army dispatched about 100,000 people to block the attack of the Tatars. In the end, the Tatars won and the Ming army was defeated. There is no need to describe too much about the battle process, but only briefly describe a few consequences and the far-reaching impact they brought.
The first consequence was that Huang Taiji's status became extremely respectful and became the real Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom. Those who used to be on par with him are now suppressed. Huang Taiji was an emperor-like existence within the Great Jin Kingdom, and no one was qualified to shake his status. Even Dorgon could only have the idea of fighting Haoge.
Because of the successive victory on the battlefield, the general people of the Great Jin Kingdom changed from respect to worship Huang Taiji, and vowed to follow Huang Taiji to fight to the end. Taking advantage of the victory of this battle, Huang Taiji carried out a number of reforms within the Great Jin Kingdom and boldly promoted many young people to take on important responsibilities. The entire Great Jin Kingdom presented a vibrant scene.
In the following years, Huang Taiji personally led the army, or sent his subordinates to launch continuous attacks on North Korea and Mongolia, constantly expanding his territory, and constantly plundering population and materials. In the end, Huang Taiji surrendered to North Korea and Mongolia, greatly improving the strength of the Great Jin Kingdom and becoming stronger intimidating the Ming Kingdom.
The second consequence was that the defense power of the Ming army was further weakened. In order to build the Daling River Fort, the Ming army spent a lot of money. As a result, the castle was completed and was stolen by the Tartars. It was completely used to make wedding clothes for others, which was touching. The tens of thousands of Ming troops that were annihilated were the elites of the Ming army. Their annihilation also caused the Ming army in Liaodong to lose the power to counterattack.
In this battle, the Guanning Iron Cavalry founded by Yuan Chonghuan suffered a severe blow. To be precise, the Liaodong cavalry led by Wu Sangui is now the second generation of Guanning Iron Cavalry. The second generation of Guanning Iron Cavalry is obviously not as good as the first generation. Just like the reorganized troops after the 74th Division was completely wiped out, they can only be considered second-rate.
The failure of the Dalinghe Battle also caused great blows to the Ming court and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was full of heroism and confidence. He was determined to create the same achievements as Emperor Yongle. However, the subsequent blows made the young emperor very embarrassed.
First, the second invasion of the Tartars, and then the Battle of the Daling River. In each battle, the elite of the Ming army suffered a lot of losses. The court's already stretched finances became even more difficult due to continuous failures. Emperor Chongzhen, who had no money and food, suffered a great blow to his self-confidence and his self-esteem became very fragile. What followed was moody and eager for success, which eventually led to the Ming Dynasty's country being destroyed in his hands.
When it comes to the Battle of Dalinghe, one person must be mentioned. This person is Zu Dashou. In the history of the late Ming Dynasty, this was a very complicated person. After Zhang Zhun arrived in Liaodong, the focus was on cleaning up, which was also the person named Zu Dashou and a large group of people with surname Zu. Because there are enough historical facts to show that this group of people are all potential traitors, and their nature is even worse than Wu Sangui.
Standing on the north gate of Dalinghe Fort, Zhang Zhun said calmly: "Eunuch Gao, when will Zu Dashou come back?"
Gao Qiqian said smoothly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in the short term."
Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully. Judging from Gao Qiqian's answer, he must have taken over many benefits from Zu Dashou. He first gave you a dismount thief, and then gave you a lollipop. This is Zu Dashou's strategy. He used this strategy to easily clean up Gao Qiqian, Wu Aheng and others.
Wu Aheng echoed and said, "Don't be anxious, this kind of thing cannot be urgent."
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "If I said Zu Dashou was an insider sent by Huang Taiji and tried to surrender when the time was right, Jinzhou might fall into the hands of the Tatars at any time. I wonder if the Commander Wu wouldn't say that?"
Gao Qiqian and Wu Aheng were both shocked.
Success in the city!
What a big hat!
Zhang Zhun wanted to remeasure the fields and redistribute them in Liaodong, which had already caused a fatal blow to Zu Dashou. However, Zhang Zhun was not satisfied and wanted to deduct Zu Dashou's hat to seek to surrender. This is a typical case of putting Zu Dashou to death. Once he was labeled such a hat, even if Zu Dashou died for 10,000 years, he would not be able to turn over!
Both of them couldn't help but slander them secretly. I said, Zhang Zhun, Zu Dashou is just jealous of you. If you comfort me, Zu Dashou will change his mind. Do you need to label someone else as a surrender? Doing this is simply forcing Zu Dashou to rebel!
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "What? The two adults think I'm fooling me again?"
Gao Qiqian said smoothly: "It is better to say less about this kind of unfounded and unfounded thing, so as not to chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Wu Aheng also said: "Zu Dashou escaped, this is a fact. The governor's accusation is indeed heartbreaking. The charge of surrender in Xiancheng is too serious."
Zhang Zhun smiled coldly and said with a gloomy face: "I have a basis too."
He took out two pieces of white paper with dense words from his arms, handed them to Gao Qiqian, and said with a cold expression: "Please look, two."
Gao Qiqian took it with a little puzzled look and watched it with Wu Aheng.
The white paper reads: "Khan of the Jin Dynasty, the ruler of Beile Daishan and Manguertai, Abatai, Degele, Jiergalang, Ajige, Dorgon, Dodo, Yue and others, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty, Zu Dashou, deputy generals Liu Tianlu, Zhang Cunren, Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong, Cao Gongcheng, Han Daxun, Zhang Dingliao, Pei Guozhen, Chen Bangxuan, Li Yun, Zheng Changchun, Liu Yuying, Dou Mingde, the generals of the guerrilla Wu Liangfu, Gao Guanghui, Liu Shiying, Sheng Zhong, Zu Zeyuan, Hu Hongxian, Zu Keyong
, Zubangwu, Shi Dayong, Xia Desheng, Li Yizhong, Liu Liangchen, Zhang Kefan, Xiao Yongzuo, Han Dong and others allied to the sky: the officials and people in Dalinghe City surrendered to the Dajin, if the Dajin Kingdom deceived and induced the surrendered soldiers, and after obtaining their household registration, they separated their wives and their property, and the heavens were about to surrendered to the conspiracy and seized the conspiracy and made them die prematurely. If the surrendered soldiers were cheated, fled or rebelled, they also took their conspiracy and made them die prematurely. If they could practice this alliance, the heaven and earth would be blessed, and their life would be extended, and the world would be peaceful."
After Gao Qiqian finished reading carefully, he frowned and said, "What is this?"
Zhang Zhun said with a cold expression: "That day Zu Dashou surrendered to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji welcomed him grandly, and he also climbed the altar with him to swear to worship the heavens. This is the oath to worship the heavens."
Wu Aheng's face changed slightly. God, Zhang Zhun actually had such a confidential thing in his hand! Zu Dashou and Huang Taiji sacrificed to the sky together! This is an amazing thing! If it was spread, the Jinyiwei would probably come to the door to get people soon! Even if they both heard the news, they would be a little unstoppable!
Gao Qiqian was so old that he was so sleek that he asked cautiously: "Where did you get this?"
Zhang Zhun said calmly: "This is what I found in Huang Taiji's tent."
Gao Qiqian looked at Zhang Zhun suspiciously.
Wu Aheng looked at Zhang Zhun with suspicion.
They did not know very well about Zhang Zhun's attack on Huang Taiji's camp, so they could not fully believe this oath. However, there is no doubt that the appearance of this oath made Zu Dashou's image change greatly in their minds. Zhang Zhun was reminding them that Zu Dashou surrendered to the Tartars and also sacrificed to the sky with Huang Taiji. In ancient times, everyone knew what the concept of offering sacrifice to the sky was.
Wu Aheng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This involves the major issues of the reputation and life of the fundamental general, so be cautious and cautious."
Gao Qiqian nodded gently, then folded the vow and returned it to Zhang Zhun.
Zhang Zhun also knew that they would not believe it easily, so he took the oath and put it in his arms and asked lightly: "Where are Zu Dashou's wife and children?"
Gao Qiqian frowned and said, "I can't return by being detained by the Tartars."
Zhang Zhun smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Does he be unable to return, or do he not want to return?"
Gao Qi wanted to speak but stopped. It's really hard to say. Who knows whether he doesn't want to come back or is he blocked by the Tartars and cannot come back?
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "Zu Dashou escaped. Because of the cruelty of the Tartars, he did not implicate his wife and children. Do you think it is possible? Wu Shishi, if you surrender to the Tartars first and then escape, do you think your wife and daughter can be preserved?"
Wu Aheng remained silent.
This is a very sensitive issue.
Whether Zu Dashou's escape was voluntary or the Tartars asked him to come back, the questions were not first raised by Zhang Zhun. In fact, before this, the question of Zu Dashou's escape had never been stopped. Until now, Zu Dashou's side was accompanied by many people and would never appear alone. He was worried that the people from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei would arrest him.
According to the history, perhaps it was moved by Huang Taiji's affection and sincerity, or it was a trick. Zu Dashou proposed at the banquet that the soldiers in Jinzhou City were all old friends, and the Khan was so reborn as he was to us. If the Khan could believe in the generals, he would release the generals back to Jinzhou. When the time comes, he would persuade the generals to cooperate inside and outside, and he could win Jinzhou with wisdom.
Huang Taiji immediately agreed. That night, he personally sent Zu Dashou out of the camp and helped him get on the horse. He accompanied him with twenty-six people including his adopted son Zu Zeyuan. Huang Taiji also specially arranged a pursuit army to create the illusion that Zu Dashou broke out.
The governor Qiu Hejia and general Wu Xiang in Jinzhou City heard the rumbling cannons coming from the Daling River. They determined that Zu Dashou must have broken through, so they led their troops out of the city to reinforce. On the way, they met Zu Dashou, and Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou City like this. But they never came back and continued to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
Regarding Zu Dashou's escape, the historians almost unanimously believed that he deceived Huang Taiji. Objectively speaking, Zu Dashou's behavior can only lead to such a conclusion. So did Zu Dashou really intend to deceive Huang Taiji? If not, what is the truth of history?
There is sufficient evidence to show that on the third day after Zu Dashou returned to Jinzhou, he sent someone to send a letter to Huang Taiji: "There are many soldiers in Jinzhou, and they will calmly take care of it. The generals' families have already sent someone to support him. There will be a date later. If you have any sincere words, it is okay to send someone to come."
Huang Taiji ordered the visitor to remind Zu Dashou not to forget the agreement. Zu Dashou replied: "The matter of the appointment is common sense in the heart. Because of the doubts of the public, it is difficult to make a sudden move. I hope the Khan will be kind to the soldiers and support them well. Once the people are convinced, the great things will be accomplished. As for my son and nephew, I hope to look forward to it."
From these words of Zu Dashou, we can see that Zu Dashou did not deceive Huang Taiji. Because first, Huang Taiji did indeed fulfill his benevolence and righteousness to the surrendered generals of Daling River. Zu Dashou's heart is not wood and stone, so how could he not be moved by it? Second, he was not very loyal to Emperor Chongzhen, and he had resentment and was even more wary. Now, his biological sons and nephews are all staying in the Jin camp. If he could convince his wife, the generals, and offer Jinzhou, the reunion of his wife and children should be the best choice.
Third, if he really wanted to deceive Huang Taiji, he should have gone there, and he should not have communicated with Huang Taiji's news. This shows that he really wanted to offer to Jinzhou. The reason why he failed to offer was definitely because he did some work tentatively but did not get a response, or was simply opposed. The words he said in his letter that "there is doubtful and it is difficult to expedite" should be the truth, and the one who opposes the most firmly is his wife.
Perhaps some people will say, how could Huang Taiji be deceived by Zu Dashou with his wisdom? In fact, Huang Taiji was prepared for Zu Dashou's departure but did not return. On November 1, Huang Taiji said to the beller: "I think that instead of leaving Dashou in our country, it is better to go to Jinzhou and ask him to offer the city to serve me; even if he rebels but does not come, it is not unexpected that I sent him to mistakenly. He also listened to his rebellion. If he did not indulge him in order to go, if he was in a clear country, he would be difficult to do things. Now, even if he returned Dashou, he would bring his sons and nephews and soldiers to return, and to support him with great grace, and seek progress, which would be beneficial."
It can be seen that Huang Taiji had a deeper consideration for releasing Zu Dashou. He used this behavior to attract all surrendered generals to attract more Ming army generals to surrender. Facts have proved that Huang Taiji was indeed very insightful in this strategy of fishing big fish with long lines. Because, ten years later, Huang Taiji's purpose was achieved.
Ten years later, Huang Taiji surrounded Jinzhou again, and Zu Dashou was forced to surrender when the food was exhausted. Huang Taiji once again forgave him. For a person who surrendered to himself but turned against him, would ordinary people easily forgive the other party if they were not mentally prepared before? Impossible! Therefore, Zu Dashou's behavior can basically be concluded that Huang Taiji was mentally prepared early in the morning.
"Governor, don't spread this matter."
Gao Qiqian said cautiously.
"Mr. Governor, rumors stop at the wise."
Wu Aheng also frowned and said.
Zhang Zhun believed that Zu Dashou's escape was due to Huang Taiji's arrangement. However, the two of them were quite suspicious. Because they didn't know what would happen in a few years, they wouldn't know that Zu Dashou would surrender again during the Battle of Songjin.
"Okay! Where are He Kegang's descendants?"
Zhang Zhun smiled casually and suddenly changed the subject.
"What does the Governor mean?"
Wu Aheng immediately realized that Zhang Zhun's intentions were sinister.
When Zu Dashou surrendered, He Kegang, who was guarding Daling River Fort with him, was unwilling to surrender. Zu Dashou was furious and killed He Kegang in front of the Tartars as a letter of surrender to the Tartars. Because of this incident, Zu Dashou fled back, it caused quite a stir. Now Zhang Zhun suddenly asked He Kegang's descendants, obviously they went to Zu Dashou.
Zhang Zhun said coldly: "General He Kegang and Zhao Rujiao both died in the fight against the Tartars. I think his funeral was a bit simple, and there was too little publicity about him. Our Hu Ben Army worshipped such warriors and decided to why the general held a more grand funeral and promoted his death day."
Gao Qiqian had to say, "Governor, there is no need for this?"
He Kegang died at Zu Dashou's hands. Zhang Zhun wanted to promote He Kegang, which was to watch Zu Dashou's traitor. In this way, Zu Dashou's days would be even more sad. Zhang Zhun was really vicious, just because Zu Dashou didn't want him to come to Liaodong. As a result, he set foot on the land of Liaodong and immediately stabbed Zu Dashou. It was not enough to stab a knife, and he had to put poison and put ropes on it. If Zu Dashou could keep the whole body, it would be a miracle.
Zhang Zhun said in a low tone and firm voice: "I think it is necessary."
Gao Qiqian and Wu Aheng could only be speechless.
What can they do if Zhang Zhun insists on doing this? If you want to blame, you can only blame Zu Dashou for not being a human being and provoke a pervert like Zhang Zhun. This Zu Dashou is the same. If he really has no ghost in his heart, then what are he afraid that Zhang Zhun will do? Is he really a ghost in his heart?
"Not good!"
"Not good!"
"Not good!"
While talking, a deputy general suddenly rushed over.
"What's going on?"
Gao Qiqian said calmly.
"Zu Dashou is back!"
"Mr. Supervisor, Master Supervisor, Zu Dashou sneaked back to Jinzhou and ordered the closing of the Jinzhou city gate and detaining all our family!"
The deputy general said in a furious report.
"What?"
Gao Qiqian and Wu Aheng both felt that Venus was everywhere and almost fainted.
