Chapter 244 Bai Guangen

Bai Guangen is a very knowledgeable person. In other words, he was so scared by Ying Yi that he didn't dare to resist at all. It fell immediately.

As soon as Bai Guangen surrendered, Shanhaiguan surrendered. The nearly 20,000 Ming troops guarding Shanhaiguan were very lucky to lose less than 5,000.

Of course, this was also Ying Yi's original plan. He also needs to rely on the Guan Ning Ming Army to stabilize the Guan Ning defense line. Therefore, he first entered the city to capture the thieves and capture the king.

Otherwise, given the murderous nature of Ying Yi's army, they might not stop unless they kill 70% to 80% of the Shanhaiguan Ming army.

Ying Yi looked down upon the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, but Ying Yi had a small number of men. Only 6,000 troops and horses could not defend such a long line of defense.

This battle to break through the barrier and seize the city came to an end in just over an hour.

More than 14,000 surrendered troops were temporarily disarmed and detained in military camps. The specific location will have to wait until Ying Yi sorts out Shanhaiguan thoroughly.

In the General Military Mansion, Ying Yi sat at the head.

Wang Yisheng and other generals, as well as Bai Guangen and other surrendered Ming army generals, were listed on the left and right sides of the hall, but one side was sitting and the other side was standing.

The two Taoists came in from outside the door at this time, both with heavy expressions. When Ying Yi saw it, he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "You two gentlemen, please take a seat."

But there are two seats next to the main seat.

The two Taoists looked at each other, and the bearded Hu Hong said: "May I ask where it comes from? Are they Tatars, not Tatars?"

Ying Yi smiled slightly: "What if it's a Tatar, what if it's not a Tatar?"

When the two Taoists heard this, they walked in and sat down without saying a word.

Ying Yi smiled and said: "I haven't answered yet, how come the two real people are seated?"

The fat old Taoist priest smiled and said: "The general must not be a Tatar, otherwise he would not say 'Tatar'. If he is not a Tatar, he is a son of the Han family. If he is a son of the Han family, the old Taoist and his junior brother can sit down."

Ying Yi burst out laughing, stroking his hands and saying, "You two real people are really interesting people."

He said, "I am Ying Yi."

The two real people didn't know Ying Yi's name, so they just said: "As long as he is not a Tatar, that's fine."

Bai Guangen, who was on the opposite side, bowed and said, "Zhenren Zhang and Zhenren Wang, you are the masters of the Central Plains."

"Lord of the Central Plains?"

The fat old Taoist priest named Zhang, who is Zhenren Zhang, was shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that China has changed its dynasty?"

Ying Yi smiled and said, "Almost."

Then he said: "It is admirable that these two great men gave up their carefree life and went into battle themselves. Please accept my respect."

Then he stood up and bowed.

The two real people were flattered and hurriedly got up to avoid it, not even daring to say a word.

"Brother Pindao is also a son of the Han family. Although he lives in the mountains and wilderness, he dare not forget it. The Eastern captives are cruel and cruel to the people. Pindao and others cannot tolerate it. It is our duty to do our best. "The fat and white old Taoist said in disbelief.

Ying Yi sighed and said: "If everyone in the world had the character of two real people, China would not be in this situation."

Said: "Please sit down quickly."

Master Zhang bowed his head again and said, "Your Excellency, I must be discussing military matters. The two brothers and sisters do not dare to stay for a long time, so it is best to leave."

Ying Yi pondered for a moment and said, "That's all right. Please let the two masters go and rest first."

After Master Zhang and Master Wang left, Ying Yicai discussed military affairs with the generals.

He looked at Bai Guangen and the Ming army's surrendered generals, and said with deep eyes: "I have taken Shanhaiguan, and the Hebei generals have taken it. I will return to the military pass in the near future and destroy the capital to destroy the Ming Dynasty. However, the Guanning line is a key point to defend against the Tartars. Now I have to eliminate hidden dangers, what can you teach me?"

When Bai Guangen heard this, he suddenly understood.

Then he saw Bai Guangen coming out of the queue, bowing and saying: "Your Excellency, if you want to take Hebei, eliminate hidden dangers, and punish them with crimes, you must have three precautions."

"Oh?" Ying Yi smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

Bai Guangen said: "One thing about Ning is very important and cannot be ignored. Moreover, we received news earlier that the Tatars have sent tens of thousands of troops to Ningyuan. There is fear of war. The first precaution is to guard against the Tatars."

Ying Yi nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue.

Bai Guangen perked up and said, "The second thing is to be on guard against Xuanda. There are still tens of thousands of troops in Xuanfu and Datong. It would be unsightly if... the King of Qin issued an edict and Xuanda raised troops to serve the King."

"The third thing is to guard against the Tatars. This generation of barbarians has turned to the Eastern Barbarians in recent years, and because of their barbaric nature, if there is a big change, they may not go south."

After hearing this, Ying Yi couldn't help stroking his hands and smiling: "That's right."

It seems that Bai Guangen is somewhat capable after all.

Then he said: "Then in your opinion, how should they be distinguished?"

Bai Guangen took a deep breath, knowing that his next words would probably determine his fate, so he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. As his thoughts turned, he cupped his fists and said: "Beware of Donglu, Guan Ning is on the front line. Troops and horses are the most important thing. From Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, there are Ningyuan center right guard, Guangning center back post, Guangning front garrison and Guangning center front post. Among them, Guangning front garrison has 20,000 troops. The rest of the three guard stations have as many as three to five thousand troops, and as few as one or two thousand troops."

He talked about it in great detail: "The Guanning Defense Line focuses on Ningyuan, Guangning's former garrison and Shanhaiguan. Shanhaiguan has nearly 20,000 garrison troops, 20,000 former garrison troops, and Ningyuan now has 25,000 troops."

After Ying Yi heard this, he already had a clear idea of ​​the military layout of the Guanning Defense Line.

Then Bai Guangen continued: "Wu Sangui has gone to Ningyuan, and there is Ma Ke in the former garrison. Wu Sangui is fierce and cunning. His uncle, Ancestor, came to Tartar in his early years, so he must have contacts. Therefore, Ningyuan has more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is not good. District."

When Ying Yi heard the words, he nodded slightly and said: "I will take Shanhaiguan and cut off their return route. His ancestor Dashou was married to the Donglu. As soon as he turned around, he could surrender to the Donglu."

Bai Guangen nodded repeatedly and said, "Your Excellency is wise."

But when Ying Yi changed his tone, he said, "But I heard that you have a son who has also surrendered to Tartar."

As soon as these words were spoken, sweat broke out on Bai Guangen's forehead. He knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed: "Your Excellency, please forgive me. It is true that the guilty general surrendered the bad son to Tartar, and he also wrote to the guilty general to persuade him to surrender. But your Excellency knows this clearly, and the guilty general will definitely ignore it!"

Ying Yi nodded noncommittally and said: "Get up first. Wu Sangui is not easy to distinguish, what about Ma Ke?"

Bai Guangen hurriedly got up and said: "General Sin has a good relationship with Ma Ke. General Sin is willing to shoulder the responsibility for this matter. It only takes half a month. If Ma Ke cannot be brought to surrender, General Sin is willing to raise his head to see us!"

Ying Yi then smiled and said: "Okay. Wu Sangui will ignore it for now. Every time one more person from Ma Ke's former garrison and the remaining three guards comes to surrender, I will give you a credit. But it only lasts for half a month. I only give you seven days. If you satisfy me, your sin of being a bad son can be pardoned after the Donglu is killed."

Bai Guangen was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Ying Yi hummed and said: "The most important thing next is to clear up hidden dangers. The more than 14,000 surrendered troops, those whose hearts belong to Wu Sangui and are stubborn, must be screened out. I don't want to leave any hidden dangers. This is Wang Yisheng is personally responsible for the matter, and Bai Guangen is assisting him."

"Here!"

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Yisheng stood up and came out of the queue, bowing his head together with Bai Guangen.

"I only give you one day. Shanhaiguan must be completely stabilized by this time tomorrow."

"Here!"
