Chapter 3: Direct attack on the Yellow Dragon (Three)

Because all three girls are as beautiful as flowers and have a natural beauty, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, they all change into men's clothing and disguise themselves as followers, which is not very conspicuous.

After a little settled down, Zhu Yinglong asked Yan Peiwei to go to see Yuan Chonghuan with a secret letter printed with his own private seal.

He needed Yuan Chonghuan's cooperation to enter the core of the Liaodong Military Region without knowing it.

In the past, Yan Peiwei could often see Yuan Chonghuan when he was on missions. Because his military rank was also a major general, the guards of the military compound only after verifying his identity and reporting to the superiors, they would be released soon.

Yuan Chonghuan's official residence is located in the southwest corner of the military compound. It covers a small area and is built very simple. It is driven by this style that the official residences of all generals in the Liaodong Military Region dare not be too gorgeous. The overall appearance is relatively simple and solemn, with no small bridges and flowing water, and no poetic and picturesque, reflecting the perseverance and indifference of soldiers.

Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, the Liaodong Military Region has entered a first-level combat readiness state. Although it has recovered its previous second-level combat readiness, the string in Yuan Chonghuan's head is still tightly tense and he dare not relax at all. As a result, his weight plummeted and he can't sleep at night. He suffers from mild insomnia, and his temples are already gray and gray.

Huang Taiji is now sitting a thousand miles northeast, with 800,000 armoured people. He has grown into a huge hidden danger that can threaten the border security of the Ming Dynasty. The Jurchens invaded and were bloodthirsty, and it is impossible to just settle for the status quo. North Korea annexed, and the two Mongolians in the west and north of Mo were also in name only. Most of the forces have surrendered. It can be said that in the entire northeast of the Ming Dynasty, the newly established Qing Dynasty no longer has any opponents, so the next opponent is the Ming Dynasty.

When will Huang Taiji tear up the Jinzhou Treaty signed under the city of Jinzhou and brazenly invade the Ming Dynasty?

I thought that I had made a vow to pacify Liaodong within five years and recover lost territory. It has been almost nine years since now, but I still failed to regain a part of my hometown. Although it was because of the constraints of the Jinzhou Treaty, Yuan Chonghuan knew very well that he had overestimated himself and underestimated the enemy. Even without the mutual constraints of the Jinzhou Treaty, I am afraid that he might not be able to stop Huang Taiji's expansion, because he did not have a corresponding force, which is the real reason for restricting his hands and feet.

Yuan Chonghuan's wife Ruan naturally felt extremely distressed as her husband's eye sockets collapsed day by day, but she was also a virtuous and sensible woman. She knew that her husband was under the burden on her shoulders, so that she could continue to work hard on state affairs without saying a word.

"Report!"

"Come in!"

"Report to Commander-in-Chief Yuan, there is a Major General Yan from the capital who said he wants to see you!"

"Come from the capital?" Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, raised his head and looked at the guard in surprise and said, "Major General Yan, is it Yan Peiwei?"

"Go and invite me here." Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help guessing the other party's purpose, but in a hurry, he couldn't think of too much, so he had to wait for the person to come and agreed.

With a "bang", Yan Peiwei stood at attention and honored Yuan Chonghuan with a standard military salute, saying: "Yan Peiwei has seen General Yuan."

"Six polite, Major General Yan." Yuan Chonghuan returned the polite, "Come on, please sit down!"

After sitting down, Yan Peiwei signaled Yuan Chonghuan to retreat and lock the access control.

"I came here under the emperor's secret order. Is the general talking here?" Yan Peiwei asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, my study room has soundproofing facilities, and you can't hear any sound inside outside." Yuan Chonghuan said hurriedly.

Despite this, Yan Peiwei signaled Yuan Chonghuan to pass by, lowered his voice and said softly: "The emperor has arrived in Jinzhou and is now staying in an inn in the city."

"What?" Yuan Chonghuan was very surprised. This matter was big or small. The emperor suddenly left Beijing and came to his own capital. He came over quietly. He did not receive any news in advance, which shows how confidential it is.

"Where is the emperor? I need the empress to send troops to protect him." Yuan Chonghuan said quickly.

"No, the emperor just asked General, you will prepare a set of army colonel uniforms and three army major uniforms, and quietly prepare a courtyard, which is located in a remote location. Tomorrow morning, the emperor will meet the general as my follower. The emperor will explain the following matters to the general." Yan Peiwei whispered.

"There is no problem with the uniform. It is not a big problem to go to the Military Control Commission to receive four sets in my name, but I am afraid this courtyard is difficult to find, and the emperor's safety?"

"The general doesn't have to worry about this. I will be responsible for the emperor's safety. The general just needs to find the courtyard." Yan Peiwei said.

Yuan Chonghuan nodded repeatedly. He knew the military confidentiality regulations. The emperor suddenly came to Jinzhou secretly, so something big must happen. What kind of big thing needs the emperor to come in person? For a moment, Yuan Chonghuan felt confused. All kinds of thoughts came one after another, and his head was a mess. Before leaving, Yan Peiwei told him to keep it strictly confidential. Once the secret of the emperor's whereabouts were leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable. Yuan Chonghuan naturally did not dare. Fortunately, Yuan Chonghuan had few smiles on his face in the past few months. His wife Ruan did not notice the strange expression of her husband's face when she was having dinner. She just thought that he had a bad appetite and could not relax his emotions.

The next morning, Zhu Yinglong ordered Yan Peiwei to make money in the store, and then found a hidden place. Zhu Yinglong changed into the army colonel's officer uniform, while Hai Lanzhu and the three girls all changed into the major uniform. However, such a young and beautiful major is rare in the Liaodong Military Region, so he slightly changed his skin color and his face turned a little black, which was less eye-catching. Zhu Yinglong himself had the temperament of a superior, and his deliberate beard, so after wearing the colonel's officer uniform, he felt that he was handsome in the dragon robe. The three girls looked at him and their affection was endless.

Song Xiance had his own lieutenant general uniform, so there was no need. Anyway, there were many lieutenant generals in the Liaodong Military Region, but his appearance was a bit eye-catching, so he had to get caught between the soldiers led by Yan Peiwei and get in. Anyway, Yuan Chonghuan had greeted him in advance, so the guards should not be too difficult, and the identity of the three women dressed as men would not be revealed.

When he saw Yuan Chonghuan, he was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to Zhu Yinglong, but Zhu Yinglong took the lead and held it up.

Zhu Yinglong sat in the main seat and saw Yuan Chonghuan's hair on his hair, and couldn't help but say, "General Yuan worked hard to make peace and tranquility in the Liaodong border. He is really a model for my Ming ministers!"

"The emperor praised it, but I am ashamed of it." Yuan Chonghuan said hurriedly.

"This time I have come to hide from all the civil and military officials in the court, just for one thing, to fight the Northern Expedition!" Zhu Yinglong directly told Yuan Chonghuan about his intention.

"The emperor wants to fight the Northern Expedition, so take this matter seriously?" Yuan Chonghuan asked excitedly. Because of the constraints of the Jinzhou Treaty, if Huang Taiji had not taken the initiative to provoke the war, there would probably not be many people in the country who would support the court to take the initiative to send troops. Because if this was spread, the name of benevolence and righteousness of a great country would be lost, and he would also bear the infamy of "not trusting and righteousness". Who would dare to do this?

"Of course, the so-called Qing Dynasty country established by Huang Taiji are the lands of our Ming Dynasty. I think that the Ming Dynasty established the Nurgandusi and Liaodong Xingdusi in the northeast. Nurhaci only occupied Jianzhou and was granted the title of the Ming Dynasty. But the governor. If the Ming Dynasty had not been in trouble in the country and the eunuch party was chaotic, how could it be tolerated by a small Jurchen alien race? Originally, if the Jin Dynasty had bowed down, paid tribute every year, and governed the people, I would have given them a future because they had worked hard for so many years. However, the Jurchen alien race was cruel and cold-blooded, greedy and ambitious, and even proclaimed the emperor. If I do not destroy such rampant fangs, how could I establish my dignified China and be delighted with the power of a great country!" Zhu Yinglong said loudly.

"The emperor is right. The Jurchen aliens are cruel and cold-blooded. They not only kill our border people on a large scale, but also robbed them. Since Nurhaci's rise, they have killed millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians in the past and afterwards. They have committed such a heinous crime. It is really a crime that cannot be punished. I suggest that if the Northern Expedition is made, all Jurchen aliens who do not surrender, no matter how old or young, will be killed!" Yuan Chonghuan said coldly.

It seems that Yuan Chonghuan was in the border for a long time and was no longer the aura of the scholar. He had already become a soldier with iron and cold blood. After seeing too much killing, his heart naturally became hard.

"The emperor, General Yuan's suggestion also agrees. The Jurchen aliens are different from the Han people in the Central Plains. They are not educated people at all. They only know who has a big fist and will kneel at the feet of whom. Since they dare to kill the Han people, they should be killed!" Yan Peiwei's mouth was also full of murderous intent.

The bloody and cruel killings cannot be seen from the pile of numbers. The Jin people's plunder of Han people's border people has never stopped. Even if the two countries signed the "Jinzhou Treaty", the Han people's border people are often bullied by the Jin people. Which Han people living in Liaodong has never been bullied by the Jin people. Some families are left with only one person in their homes, killing people and slaughtering villages, setting fire to slaughter the city. From the Great Jin Kingdom to the Qing Dynasty, the hands of the Jurchens were covered with the blood of thousands of Han people. How terrible is this strong murderous intent condensed into? Once the Northern Expedition is, how could the soldiers of the Liaodong Army easily let go of these bloody men?

The so-called angry young people in later generations all believed that Yuan Chonghuan was just a guise for the Qing emperor to fool the Han people. Yuan Chonghuan was simply a big traitor because he killed Mao Wenlong, who could restrain the development of the Later Jin Dynasty, and even used food to support the enemy, portrayed a big traitor into a famous hero, poured dirty water on the rotten and incompetent Ming Dynasty to prove that the Han people dug their own graves, lost their own country, and eased the hostility of Manchu and Han people. In later generations, some people naturally clamored that what the Qing Dynasty did was to fool the Han people, and everything it did was to whitewash itself. The so-called rehabilitation for Yuan Chonghuan was naturally half-talked and half-hidden.

No one denies that Yuan Chonghuan is a fool, right? Since he is not a fool, would he do such a stupid thing as a capital enemy? Moreover, the political struggle is complicated and so obvious that if the political enemy is caught, he would have lost his head long ago. Yuan Chonghuan had many enemies in the court at that time, and even now, he would have killed Mao Wenlong. Unfortunately, Fan Wencheng took action too quickly and failed to kill. He also lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang. General Man Gui was almost killed. What was Mao Wenlong? If it were during the battle in the Central Plains, Mao Wenlong would be Chen Jiongming, a fence-bearer, Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wen.

Long, but he can't kill all his subordinates. If they are killed or replaced, the morale of the Dongjiang Island will inevitably be unstable, and there is no time for Yuan Chonghuan to do this rectification, because there are political enemies above and eunuchs and military supervisors around him. In addition, the emperor's suspicion, if he withdraws Mao's subordinates, he will inevitably have to replace them with a reliable person. The court originally suspected that he was too powerful. Isn't this another ironclad evidence of his "illegal plot" intention? In such a difficult situation, Nurhaci and Huang Taiji could not pass Shanhaiguan. Isn't this a national hero?

The Qing Dynasty rehabilitated Yuan Chonghuan, which was originally a political need, but some people believed that Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor because the Qing Dynasty spoke to Yuan Chonghuan. Otherwise, why did the Qing Dynasty say good things to an enemy who was almost "hate to the core"? Is it generous? Obviously not, then there is naturally an ulterior motive. This secret is the true identity of Yuan Chonghuan as a traitor?

In fact, the reason why the Qing Dynasty did this was that the intensification of the conflict between Manchu and Han needs to be relieved. Second, it was actually to use the Han people's own hands to discredit their own heroes. The counter-espionage plan back then was, and later, it was also a high-profile rehabilitation for Yuan Chonghuan. This shows that the Qing Dynasty was skillful in its methods and has been playing with the Han people until now.

"The two generals have a strong murderous aura, but I have been sure of your advice. In the future, whenever I fight with foreign races, I will follow this military order." Zhu Yinglong was also extremely angry at the cruelty of the Jurchens. The war between the Jurchens and the Han people seemed to be for the sake of the world, but in fact it was a racial struggle, a racial struggle, and a religious struggle. These two wars were the most cruel wars. Therefore, kindness was unreasonable. If he was not a righteous person, he would not be in charge of his troops. Yuan Chonghuan always wanted to recover lost territory. If he was a kind commander, it would be impossible.

At least Yuan Chonghuan is not as hypocritical as Liu Bei.

"Before this, Huang Taiji has been testing my attitude towards his ascension to the throne, but I have never responded. If it weren't for a sudden change, I wouldn't have made this decision." Zhu Yinglong said.

"Did the emperor want to send troops to the north at this time?" Yuan Chonghuan was shocked and asked.

"good!"

After receiving Zhu Yinglong's affirmative answer, Yuan Chonghuan was extremely surprised. Although the Liaodong Military Region was well prepared and if he wanted to fight the Northern Expedition, he could only draw 200,000 troops. No matter how much it was, it would not work. However, the 200,000 troops alone seemed too thin. The troops of the Later Jin Dynasty were at least two or three times more!

"I have thought that if this Northern Expedition cannot be fully accomplished, at least I will force Huang Taiji to move the capital. Once Huang Taiji moves the capital, I can cut the Jurchens and Mongolia with one knife, and then divide them and eat them!" Zhu Yinglong looked at Yuan Chonghuan, Yan Peiwei and Song Xiance with bright eyes and said.

Song Xiance's heart moved. This idea was much more operational than what the emperor told him at the beginning and was easier to do.
