Nanming Engineer

Chapter 450 Outflanking
For Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Ningwu Army of the Ming Dynasty, meeting Mongols is always an unpleasant thing.

He guarded Ningwuguan for more than ten years, and also dealt with the invaders of Mongolia for more than ten years. During this period, he fought with a black face, gave gifts with a red face, and even deliberately led the soldiers to hide aside with a white face, letting the Mongolians People pass through customs, all kinds of past, unbearable to look back.

So when it comes to the Mongols, Liu Wei hates and is afraid, and there is a little ambiguity that is not convenient for outsiders.They rode through the barriers, killed people and set fire to them, burned houses and looted things. They didn't give Liu Wei any face. Every time they came in, they were like evil spirits entering the door, like locusts scouring the earth, leaving nothing behind.Any Han Chinese has deep resentment towards the Mongols.However, as a general of Ningwuguan, when there is no war on weekdays, he is very lucrative. Doing business with the Mongols and collecting customs duties at the pass, the days are very hot. For a year, as long as you are brave enough , not much worse than those Shanxi merchants who are as rich as the enemy.

Liu Wei stayed in this position for a long enough time and accumulated a huge amount of net worth. With money, he naturally spared his life, so when Li Zicheng captured Taiyuan and fought with Zhou Yuji, the general soldier of Shanxi, in Daizhou and Ningwu , Liu Wei ran away knowing the current affairs.

Later, Zhou Yuji died in battle, and Li Zicheng was also beaten very painfully. He did not dare to continue marching northward, and stationed in Panheng in Taiyuan, Shanxi.Liu Wei didn't dare to go back to Ningwu, so he simply lived in Datong City. He and Jiang Tuan had an old relationship and had a good relationship. They both came from military commanders and had a common language. After giving him a generous gift, Jiang Tuan took care of Liu Wei who had fled. down.

Later, Jiang Yu and Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, surrendered without a fight, scrambling to hand over the surrender form to Li Zicheng. The many passes from Shanxi to Beijing became an undefended and smooth road. The next thing is the death of Chongzhen and the death of Daming.

In the final analysis, Liu Wei bears unshirkable responsibility for the death of the Ming emperor. Like Jiang Yu, Wang Chengyin and others, he is a sinner nailed to the pillar of shame of the second minister of the Ming court, and everyone can punish him.

Therefore, Liu Wei hugged Jiang Tiao's thigh tightly and took refuge in the Qing court, hoping to have a new world in the Qing Dynasty. He did the same. The next one is a capable general.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Guan was suspected by the Qing court, and suddenly turned anyway.

Liu Wei, who was in Daizhou, was caught off guard, but there was nothing he could do. Liu Wei, who had long been classified as Jiang Yu's party, had no choice but to rebel, and regained the banner of the Ming Dynasty with complicated emotions.

A dramatic scene was staged. Azig and Nikan, who were still eating meat and drinking together a few days ago, brought the Eight Banners Army and the Mongols to kill them. Liu Wei couldn't hold on in Daizhou, so he withdrew to Ningwu. Persist in danger.

Fortunately, after the Qing army conquered Daizhou, the channel between Taiyuan and Datong was opened up. A large number of Eight Banners soldiers passed through the Yanmen Pass, and began to focus on dealing with the Ming army in Taiyuan. He couldn't hold back with peace of mind.

For the battle situation in Shanxi, Liu Wei has always had a grasp of it, thinking about what he will do if Jiang Guan can't hold on.He didn't pay much attention to the reinforcements from the Ming court from Shaanxi at first. Liu Wei, who knew everything about the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, even sneered at them. He didn't have any hope for them. If so, he would have surrendered long ago.

What happened next surprised Liu Weiwei. It seemed that Shanxi was captured by Wang Huan who came from Shaanxi overnight. The general called his father at his feet, and even Jiang Jianxun, who was not weak in the past Jiang Yu faction, was pushed aside like an idler.

Then something that shocked him even more happened. The two Jurchen princes were killed and defeated near Taiyuan. Tens of thousands of people scattered and retreated. The general of the army was beheaded, and Dorgon personally conquered Shanxi and rushed to Shiling Pass without even drinking water. One after another, heavy news shocked Liu Wei.

He didn't believe it until he saw Bolo's head.

It was shown to him by the Mongols.

When I watched it, outside Yajiaobao, banners were flying, and soldiers stood everywhere. Inside the Great Wall, tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers reined in their horses. Their armor shone brightly in the sun, occupying all the land that could be seen in front of Yajiaobao Pass, like scraping on the grassland. There came a black grass.

The soldiers brought by Liu Wei huddled in the Yajiao Fort. The small courtyard was full of soldiers, and there were thousands of them. Like a gang of quail.

"This is Boluo's head, which was sent by your Duke of Liang." The Mongolian who spoke was at least 60 or [-] years old, and he was a Taiji: "This head is a token. The alliance between King Khan and Duke of Liang has just been established. , lead the way!"

Liu Wei felt dizzy looking at the head preserved in lime in the wooden box.

He recognized Bo Luo, and of course he could tell that it was indeed the head of Prince Chong Duan of the Qing Dynasty.

The arrogant Mongolian sat on the horse and looked at him with a half-smile.

Liu Wei stood in front of the horse, like a humble groom.

When Wang Huan's people came a few days ago, he was asked to come to Yajiaobao to meet the Khalkha Mongols, take them from Shanxi to bypass the Qing army that besieged Datong, and directly cut off the return of the Qing army from the north of Shanxi to North Zhili. road.He thought it was a joke.

Now it seems that this is all true.

Duke Liang's chessboard was as big as the sky, and Liu Wei couldn't turn the corner.

He looked at the Mongol army formation. Under several huge banners, there was a distinguished Mongolian general standing there. That should be Ben Tal Khan.

Cold sweat dripped from Liu Wei's forehead. In the past, these chieftains would be avoided when they saw them. Now that they are so close, Liu Wei felt a lot of pressure, and his legs were trembling unconsciously.

A hand rested on Liu Wei's shoulder, pulling him back.

Liu Wei looked in fear, and a white armor came into view.

Zhang Jianchun, the commander-in-chief of the Kuizhou Army, stepped forward, and bowed his hands calmly to Mongolian Taiji, with an attitude neither humble nor overbearing: "The last general is here to welcome the Great Khan under the order of the Liang Kingdom!"

Taiji squinted his eyes and looked up and down, nodded, jumped off the horse, and led Zhang Jianchun to walk in the direction of Bentar Khan.

Liu Wei froze in place, not knowing what to do, and looked at it in confusion.

Dreamy.

There is only one figure in white armor, but it seems to be strolling in the garden, calmly walking towards the jungle of thousands of troops, in a trance, the noble Mongolian Khan seems to have dismounted from his horse, waiting with a smile.

Friendly greetings, greetings, greetings, and conversations between the two parties.

As close as long-lost comrades-in-arms.
