Chapter 442 Dispute

When the rumbling cannons rang out at the head of Shengjing, the most panicked were not Haoge, Du Du, who was stationed in Shengjing and thousands of soldiers of Zhenglan Banner, but Huang Taiji and many princes and nobles of the Qing Dynasty who followed him to fight. It is important to know that Shengjing is their foundation and all their reliance.

Since Nurhaci resisted the opposition and moved the Manchu capital from Hetuara to Liaoyang, then from Liaoyang to Chenyang, and renamed Chenyang to Shengjing, almost 60% or 70% of the Manchu population gathered around the center of Shengjing. Once Shengjing fell into the hands of the Jiangning Army, even the idiotic people knew what would happen to those Manchus who stayed in Shengjing with Yang Feng's cruelty to the Manchus. Therefore, when he heard the messenger coming to report that Shengjing had been surrounded by 20,000 Jiangning Army, everyone froze like lightning.

There was actually no discussion on whether to return to Shengjing to help. In just half a quarter of an hour, the Qing generals, including Huang Taiji, made the decision to immediately rush to Shengjing. The importance of Shengjing is really too important. Once Shengjing is lost, the entire Qing Dynasty will immediately fall apart. Not to mention Huang Taiji, even Nurhaci can't stand it.

Manren's movements were very fast. In just one hour, the first 10,000 cavalry led by Yuetuo, composed of the Inlaid Red Flag and Zhenghong Flag, left the camp and ran towards Shengjing. Three hours later, the entire Qing army camp also set off the camp and set off the camp and retreated towards the way they came.

On the head of Jinzhou, everyone was disbelief at first when they looked at the slowly leaving Qing army, and then the whole city became full of joy and thunder. Just a few hours ago, the Qing army was still raging the head of Jinzhou with their cannons, but now they actually retreated voluntarily. It was like a dream.

Many people may not understand why the Qing army used a thousand pounds to attack Jinzhou, but in just less than two days, they withdrew their troops in a mess. However, some generals led by Sun Chengzong vaguely understood the reason. There was only one reason that Huang Taiji could withdraw his troops so busy. The Jiangning army led by Yang Feng must have launched an attack on Shengjing. Shengjing must have been in a hurry now, otherwise Huang Taiji would not have withdrawn from Shengjing in such a dilemma.

For reasons of caution, Sun Chengzong sent hundreds of people to investigate and search along the way along the way of the Qing army's retreat. Half an hour later, the Qing army did withdraw its troops, and because the withdrawal was too hasty, they even abandoned the six artillery that they had worked hard to transport to Jinzhou outside Jinzhou City.

After hearing this news, the generals who had thought there was any conspiracy to withdraw the Qing army finally breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled happily. The Qing army finally withdrew its troops, and the danger in Jinzhou was finally lifted.

Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Daxiang smiled and bowed to Sun Chengzong: "Congratulations to the supervisor, congratulations to the supervisor, Jiannu finally withdrew his troops. If Your Majesty knew, he would be very happy!"

Then Wu Xiang, who served as the commander of the Liaodong capital, also smiled and said to Sun Chengzong: "The governor was very happy. Our army defeated Jiannu in this battle, forcing Jiannu to retreat in a mess. This is all for the governor!"

Looking at the generals who were congratulating him one after another, Sun Chengzong not only did not look happy on his face, but instead looked at Zu Daxiang and Wu Xiang with a smile: "Everyone, do you really think that Jiannu retreated was all the credit of my official?"

"Uh...this..."

Wu Xiang and his two faces couldn't help but blush. Oh no... they had slapped their heads a little too much. They could even see the sarcastic look that flashed across the faces of many generals around them.

Zu Daxiang coughed lightly and said seriously: "Mr. The Tartars have mobilized tens of thousands to attack our Jinzhou. We have seen everything the governor has done for our Liaodong soldiers and civilians over the years. If it weren't for the governor's management in Liaodong, and there is peace today in Liaodong, wouldn't the governor still be so praised?"

Hearing Zu Dazhu say this, the generals around recalled the efforts made by Sun Chengzong for the safety of Jinzhou over the years and finally built the Jinning line to block the Qing army firmly outside the pass. He really deserves the praise from everyone. Thinking of this, many people nodded. Even Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei, three people who have just come to Liaodong had to admit that Sun Chengzong's contribution to Liaodong over the years is indeed worth the praise.

Lu Xiangsheng thought about it and bowed to Sun Chengzong, "The governor, the officials thought that the Tartars were so anxious to withdraw from Shengjing, it must be because the Marquis of Jiangning had already launched Shengjing as agreed. At this moment, the situation in Shengjing must have been very serious, and there was even a danger of falling. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not be so busy that he would even throw away six artillery outside the city."

The generals of Liaodong nodded secretly. Lu Xiangsheng's analysis was reasonable and very accurate. Otherwise, based on Huang Taiji's personality, he would not end this trip to Jinzhou with such a slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight

Sun Chengzong nodded and stroked his beard and said, "Jiandou's words are indeed reasonable, so what should Jiandou do next?"

Lu Xiangsheng said without hesitation: "The governor, the officials thought that the opportunity should not be lost and would not come again. Our army should quickly send troops to Shengjing and Jiangning Army to join forces to fight against Jiannu together!"

The troops were sent to Shengjing to fight against Jiannu?

The generals of Liaodong all looked at each other. When did the Ming army become so arrogant and actually force Shengjing to force the Qing army to fight to the decisive battle?

Sun Chengzong also frowned deeply. He thought for a long time before saying to everyone: "What do you think Jiandou said?"

Zu Dazhu said without hesitation: "The general thought it was impossible. You should know that Huang Taiji had tens of thousands of soldiers and Shengjing was the old nest of the Tartars. In addition, Huang Taiji's use of troops was extremely insidious. If we send troops rashly, it is very likely that we would be bitten by him. Maybe our entire army would have to be completely destroyed under Shengjing City."

Zu Dazhu's words were approved by some generals such as Zu Dale and Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang also said: "Governor, we have defeated the attack of the Tartars this time, which is already a great achievement. After reporting to the court, Your Majesty will definitely be rewarded. Why should we take the risk of pursuing Huang Taiji?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was a little angry and saw him sneering: "General Wu is not willing to agree with this. I believe you should be very clear about why the Tartars retreated. To put it bluntly, if the Marquis of Jiangning led a large army to force Shengjing, we were still being bombarded by the Tartars. Why? Now that the Tartars are gone, we can ignore the life and death of Jiangning Marquis? Isn't this the case if I cut off the bridge across the river?"
