Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Ming Dynasty, Ding Yunyi's promotion speed was astonishing, but there was another person who was also promoted at an unusually fast speed:

    Wu Sangui!

    In the eighth year of Chongzhen, almost at the same time that Ding Yunyi was promoted to Staff General, Wu Sangui was also promoted to Staff General of the Forward Right Camp at the age of 23.

    And this year, Ding Yunyi has just turned twenty-one according to his age in this era.

    One is a 21-year-old general and the other is a 23-year-old general. These two are the two brightest young generals in the Ming Dynasty!

    "Ding Yunyi from Taiwan, Wu Sangui from Ningyuan".

    The Ming Dynasty court has begun to say this.

    In the same year, the captive chief Huang Taiji abolished the old clan name "Zhushen" and named the clan "Manzhou".

    In the eighth year of Chongzhen, in order to cooperate with Dorgon's military action to recruit Lin Dan's son Ezhe, Huang Taiji first appointed his 22-year-old younger brother Aixinjue, who was awarded the title of Baylor at the age of 13, unified the white flag, and participated in the political affairs of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.  Luo Duoduo was the commander-in-chief and led the army to attack Jinzhou and fought with the Ming army at the Daling River.

    Wu Sangui, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's forward right battalion, was ordered to provide reinforcements!

    The Second Battle of Daling River breaks out!

    Wu Sangui was famous among the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty for his bravery, and the Jin Dynasty soldiers were all afraid of his bravery. Duduo used his fierce general Oreshun and the Ming Dynasty's surrendered generals, the leader of the "Heavenly Help Army", and the general officer Shang Kexi to block Wu Sangui's reinforcements, and himself personally  He led the main force to attack the Ming army in Daling River.

    Wu Sangui saw that the Jinlu troops were heavily guarded and their troops were in order, so he did not dare to attack easily. He stood with the enemy for a day and thought hard about how to defeat the enemy.

    And at this time, a piece of news that surprised him arrived.

    "Shen Rong, Taiwan's military commander, Captain Shangqingche, and Zhaowu general Ding Yunyi asked to see Shen Rong."

    "Ding Yunyi?" Wu Sangui was startled, then overjoyed: "That's my second brother, please come quickly. No. I'll go out to greet him in person!"

    With that said, he hurried to the outside of the camp and saw Ding Yunyi at a glance. He laughed and said, "Second brother, you are here!"

    "Brother's style remains the same!" Ding Yunyi also greeted him with a smile.

    When the two met, they were both happy. Wu Sangui held Ding Yunyi's hand.  While smiling, he walked into the big tent as if no one was watching.  All the subordinates looked at each other in confusion. When did Shen Rong get a younger brother?

    "Second brother, you have done a good job." As soon as he sat down, Wu Sangui said with a smile: "The bloody battle in Yingzhou was so heroic. Killing the bandits. It was like going straight into an uninhabited land. I heard about it at the border, and my face also glowed. Thinking of you.  We had not been able to meet each other for three years, and I felt so sad that my second brother had actually come!"

    Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "I also missed my eldest brother. I couldn't bear it anymore. So I came to the border. When I arrived, I heard that the Jinlu were invading the Daling River. My eldest brother commanded a strong army to reinforce me, so I came here to see you."

    "Where did the heroic soldiers come from?" Wu Sangui stopped smiling: "The second brother came just in time. The golden captives took Oreshun as the main general, and I was happy to be the second. They formed a camp to stop our army. There are fifteen thousand golden captives, and our army  Six thousand. I'm worried here."

    Ding Yunyi frowned: "Jin Lu is in a hurry to besiege Daling River, so we will delay here for a day. Daling River is more critical than one day, so why not find a breakthrough for Jin Lu's weakness?"

    "Come, come with me." Wu Sangui stood up and just entered the tent. He led Ding Yunyi out and came to the earth platform. He pointed ahead and said, "See for yourself."

    Ding Yunyi looked around and saw that the Jinlu camp was tightly guarded and the troops were in order. The cavalry were galloping back and forth, shouting "Hehe" constantly, closely monitoring the movements of the Ming army.

    "I already have a method." Wu Sangui stood on the earth platform and said: "The Jinlu are fierce, but the flanking Heavenly Blessing Army is slightly weaker. I want to personally lead the main force to attack the Heavenly Blessing Army and open a gap, but I need one person to lead  Two thousand soldiers must fight against the golden captives for more than an hour. Unfortunately, there is no one around me who can take on this important task."

    Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked up to the sky and laughed: "God has been kind to me. I was looking for a strong general, but my second brother came here. Isn't this what God meant, asking my second brother to help me defeat the enemy?"

    Ding Yunyi was a little dumbfounded.

    ¡°I came here to buy a horse from Wu Sangui, but I didn¡¯t expect that I would end up in such a mess. I came at the wrong time.  Wu Sangui didn't want to be polite to him. He asked himself to lead the army before he even got hot.

    But I suddenly felt excited. I had fought pirates, killed Hongyi, and fought bloody battles with bandits. Now, it was finally the next opponent¡¯s turn:

    ??Jinlu!

    Ding Yunyi said coldly: "The Jinlu seized my land and killed my people. If I don't kill them, God will kill them too. Since the eldest brother wants to defeat the Jinlu, why should Ding Yunyi refuse to agree?"

    Wu Sangui was overjoyed??, but then there was some worry.

    He had long heard of Ding Yunyi's bravery, but he had never seen it with his own eyes to what extent he was brave. If his reputation was not true and he could not stop the Manchus, the troops he led would also be surrounded.

    "But Wu Sangui knows very well that people who are suspicious should not be used, but people who are employed should not be doubted.  Moreover, I have already been delayed here for a day. The fighting in the direction of Daling River is fierce. One day of delay will increase the possibility of failure.

    No more hesitation: "Bang the drum, raise the tent!"

    The drum beat "dong dong", and a group of generals arrived. Wu Sangui said with a stern face: "The Jinlu invaded the Daling River, and the Zuzong Town fought bloody battles, hoping for reinforcements. Although I have six thousand people now, I am an elite division. Together.  When we break through the Jinlu blockade, we rush to the aid of Dalinghe. This is Ding Yunyi, Ding Canrong, the general of Zhaowu who fought against Yingzhou. He has come from thousands of miles away from Taiwan to help us. You all have come to see him!"

    Ding Yunyi originally came to visit Wu Sangui, but at this moment, Wu Sangui said that he was rushing to help from thousands of miles away, which was originally intended to boost the morale of the army.  The generals said in unison: "I have seen Shen Rong!"

    When the two sides met, Wu Sangui said: "It is better to use troops sooner rather than later. Now that Ding Shenrong has arrived, pass on my military order to use troops tomorrow!"

    "yes!"

    "Where is the guerrilla Deng Changgui!"

    "Deng Changgui is here!"

    "You have two thousand soldiers under the command of General Ding Shen. General Ding Shen will be here as long as I am here. Anyone who disobeys the military order or obeys the command will be killed!"

    "yes!"

    "Guerrilla against Kong Xiwu, guerrilla against Tan Jiangtong!"

    "exist!"

    "You two each lead 1,500 soldiers to serve as my two wings, and I myself lead 1,000 soldiers to clash with the enemy in person!"

    "yes!"

    "Everyone!" Wu Sangui stood up with an "ooh": "Tomorrow's battle is of great importance. I have military orders at the border that those who are disadvantaged in the battle will die! If we cannot defeat the enemy tomorrow, I, Wu Sangui, will chop off your heads first, and then  Cut off your head to apologize to the court!"

    "When the order is given, the three armies advance! Fight to the death. Do not retreat! We are willing to join the army and kill the enemy to the death. We will not retreat until the end!"

    These generals shouted in unison with astonishing momentum.

    Ding Yunyi saw Wu Sangui's troops.  Not inferior to his own Tiger Guards, and even better than his own subordinates in terms of strict military order.

    It¡¯s no wonder that Wu Sangui¡¯s troops will gradually become the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty and become the target of many forces competing to win over them.

    The instructions are completed.  Wu Sangui asked the generals to prepare.  He personally hosted a banquet for Ding Yunyi.  It is his duty as a military commander to drink from a large bowl and eat large pieces of meat.

    There is a dish that tastes like dog meat, but when chewed carefully it is not. Wu Sangui said with a smile: "Yesterday I went out to inspect the camp. I saw two hungry wolves in the distance, so I chased them and killed them. I originally wanted to dry them.  Serve yourself a drink, I don't want my second brother to be here."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out and said and took a sip of wine: "When the Jinlu are destroyed, you and I, brothers, will resign from their posts and go away, hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, rowing on the sea, and not caring about worldly affairs from now on, how carefree and happy it will be."

    Ding Yunyi laughed it off.

    Jin Lu is not so easy to destroy. Even if he is destroyed, I am afraid that Wu Sangui will not be able to let go of his official position.  In fact, not only Wu Sangui, how could he let go?

    "Second brother, you're here not just to see me, right?" Wu Sangui asked, putting down his wine bowl.

    Ding Yunyi nodded and explained the purpose of his visit. Wu Sangui frowned slightly: "Second brother, you have to know that although there are many war horses at the border, we are also nervous. But since the second brother has come so far, I always have to  I'll help you solve it. Don't take it to heart. I'll make sure you're satisfied when you leave."

    Seeing that the matter was resolved so smoothly, Ding Yunyi felt happy and offered two bowls of wine to Wu Sangui.

    Wu Sangui wiped his mouth and suddenly sighed: "Second brother, you came at the right time this time. Firstly, you can help me. Secondly, I stay at the border all day long and there is no one around me to talk to."

    "Brother, just tell me what's on your mind." Ding Yunyi asked.

    Wu Sangui was silent for a while: "In the past, Huang Taiji launched the Battle of Dalinghe. My father escaped when he went to help and the entire army was destroyed. He was sent to prison. Although he was later reinstated, he was still not as good as before. I am worried about the future.  , fought hard to kill the enemy, and worshiped the governor-general Guan Ning and the commander-in-chief of the two towns Gao Qiqian as his adoptive father. In a short time, he was promoted to the rank of general. However, I heard that there were already criticisms in the court, saying that I was too young to take on this responsibility.  It's such a heavy responsibility. Second brother, I won't listen to these words when it comes to employing people, but when there is a little peace, the so-called three people will become a tiger, I am really worried. "

    Wu Sangui originally had no such worries. He only knew how to kill the enemy with all his heart, serve the court loyally, and always move forward.It looked like a brocade, but since his trip to the capital the year before last, he discovered that the things in the court were far from being as simple as he thought. After returning to the border, he had more and more ideas.

    Ding Yunyi remained silent and listened to Wu Sangui continue: "If you don't say anything else, let's just talk about military pay, which is paid every year and owed every year. I begged my adoptive father in the past two months, but in the end, he managed to get two months' pay.  The military pay was a little relief, but the brothers still owed half a year's military pay. If I hadn't suppressed the situation and killed two more officers who took the lead in making the payment, I think things would have been out of control after all.  Our foundation is too shallow and no one takes what we say seriously.¡±

    Ding Yunyi nodded: "Brother, things are pretty good here. Although the military pay is in arrears, there is always hope. But what about my Taiwan? The Holy Father has long said that he will not give me even one tael of silver in military pay. I have to rely on myself.  solve."

    Wu Sangui said "ah".  He only thought that the situation here was bad, but he didn't expect that there was someone worse than himself.

    But he didn't know that although Ding Yunyi could not get a single tael of silver from the imperial court, he was an out-and-out local emperor in Taiwan. All the decisions of killing and killing were in his own hands.  "I neither want to care about it nor have the energy to care about it.

    As for military pay, Ding Yunyi opened up the sea route and made a lot of money. Although it is not as good as Zheng Zhilong, as long as the income goes smoothly in a year, it is still a huge sum of money.

    Wu Sangui was very different at the border.  There is a commander-in-chief of the army, and there are also eunuchs and supervisors of the army. As a general, he can capture a lot of people at the border.  What's even more terrible is that all military pay depends on the imperial court. If the imperial court is in arrears for two or three months, Wu Sangui will be anxious to hang himself. He will have no autonomy at all, and he will not be able to advance and retreat as freely as Ding Yunyi.

    Not to mention anything else, just because Ding Yunyi came to purchase war horses this time, he made up his mind and set off on the same day.  But if Wu Sangui wanted to do something, he had to ask for instructions at all levels and report one by one. In the end, the money would most likely not be approved.

    Wu Sangui had never been to Taiwan, so he thought that his second brother's place was similar to Taiwan. At that time, he felt like a close friend.

    "Brother, let me say something unpleasant." Ding Yunyi lowered his voice and said: "Those of us, although we have a few soldiers in our hands, we are powerless and can't help ourselves. We can do whatever the superiors tell us to do.  , we have to do it. Why? Because we don¡¯t have our own power. Although the eldest brother is only a general at the border, military achievements are easy to obtain. It will only be a matter of time for the eldest brother to become a general.  The two sides are powerful and powerful, but the younger brother is in Taiwan to show off and think that the border and Taiwan are in harmony with each other.  The important land needs to be strengthened, and the two sides should contact each other. We are not afraid that the court will not agree. "

    Wu Sangui nodded slightly, but then became a little worried: "The Holy One hates forming cliques for selfish interests. If the border and Taiwan are folded at the same time, the Holy One will definitely see the flaw. What will happen if Lei Lei is furious?"

    "Your Majesty indeed hates forming cliques for personal gain, but the most helpless thing is forming cliques for personal gain." Ding Yunyi smiled lightly: "We saw this clearly when we were in the Central Plains. The more powerful you are to form cliques for personal gain, the more powerful the court will be.  But you can¡¯t do it. Not only can I do it, but I also have to follow your wishes and comfort you.¡±

    Wu Sangui suddenly realized, and Ding Yunyi continued: "To be honest with you, I have maritime business support in Taiwan and can earn some money. I will send you a batch of money every six months to solve the urgent needs of your army. Where is your brother?"  Every time, I also bring some unused war horses and weapons and medicines captured on the battlefield, so that everyone can take what they need quietly without having to go through it, which also saves a lot of trouble in procedures."

    "Okay, let's do it like this!" Wu Sangui said immediately: "Second brother, this matter is settled, let's do it!"

    Ding Yunyi smiled, raised his wine bowl and took a sip, and the alliance between him and Wu Sangui was forged.  To be continued.  .
