    Jinzhou.

    Huang Taiji received the battle report from Songshan and knew that since Hong Chengchou arrived, the Qing soldiers had been repeatedly defeated by Hong Chengchou, so he decided to conquer it himself.  At this time, Huang Taiji suffered from nosebleeds and was still sick day and night.

    And Hong Chengchou, who was at the front line, would visit the major camps every few days. Like famous generals in ancient times, he would enter the barracks, look at the food, and eat with the soldiers.

    Among the eight generals, Wang Pu, the general of Datong, was a young man who got a military position through the influence of his ancestors. When the Qing soldiers entered the fortress for the third time, he somehow gained a reputation as a good soldier. In addition, he also  Chen Xinjia, who often respected the Minister of War, was promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief of the army.  Hong Chengchou disliked him the most, but he had the support of the Ministry of War, so even though he was a idiot, there was nothing he could do about him.

    During the patrol, all the general soldiers from all walks of life had to follow him, and like Hong Chengchou, they had to eat from a big pot with the soldiers, which was a hardship for the young master.  Because they had just won a battle, the soldiers had a fairly rich meal, including horse meat stewed with cabbage. Hong Chengchou enjoyed the meal so much that Wang Pu could only take a few symbolic bites with a frown on his face.

    Chen Xinjia, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of the right capital, knew that Wang Pu was useless and was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, so he specially assigned him a shrewd and capable supervisor named Zhang Dou.  While eating, Zhang Dou whispered: "Commander Commander, I have something to report for my humble duty, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

    Hong Chengchou said: "Master Supervisor, it doesn't matter if you say it."

    "Sir, Huang Taiji is extremely cunning and good at using time. When Liaoyang City fell, he sent people to break into the city first and burned the gunpowder magazine, so that the army was defeated and the city was defeated. I saw that there is a mountain to the north of Songshan. It is called Changling, although it is long and  No danger. You can ride. If the Jurchens attack our supplies on Bijia Mountain, the consequences will be disastrous. I thought we should set up a heavy defense on this mountain."

    Hong Chengchou was shocked and said: "Yes, it is impossible for Huang Taiji's cunning not to interfere with our army's food and fodder, which is the lifeblood of this army."

    He looked at Zhang Dou and said, "What the Lord Supervisor has seen is very true, but Changling stretches for dozens of miles. If it is fortified, it will require tens of thousands of troops, otherwise it will be useless. It is better to add ten thousand more troops to strengthen the defense."  How about we leave this matter to Master Zhang?"

    Zhang Dou heard what Hong Chengchou said was reasonable, so he had no choice but to respond: "I humbly obey my orders."

    When Hong Chengchou led an army of 130,000 to Songshan, Huang Taiji knew that a decisive battle was about to begin. He decided to lead the expedition himself, but just as he was about to set off, Concubine Chen fell ill.

    Since the death of her son, Hai Lanzhu has been suppressing her grief, pretending to be nonchalant in front of everyone, and even smiling in front of Huang Taiji.  But secretly I cry twice every day.  Huang Taiji was very worried when he saw her thinning body. Although there were many state affairs, he would go to Guanju Palace to accompany her whenever he had a little leisure time. Huang Taiji had been looking forward to Hailanzhu having another child to comfort him after the loss of his son.  It hurts, but I haven't been able to do it.

    On this day, Huang Taiji went down to court and came to Guan Ju Palace as usual.  Concubine Chen was extremely grateful. She stood up from the kang as usual. Just as she was about to salute, she felt that her eyes were dim and she fainted on the ground, knowing nothing.

    Huang Taiji was so shocked that he stepped over and picked up Hailanzhu: "Concubine Chen, Hailanzhu!"

    The female official ran to the door and shouted loudly: "Imperial doctor, imperial doctor, come quickly, Concubine Chen is ill."

    Because Concubine Chen's condition has worsened in the past two days, the imperial doctor is on standby. Hearing the shouts, he hurried over.

    Huang Taiji had already carried Hai Lanzhu to the Kang. The extremely weak Hai Lanzhu opened her eyes weakly, smiled miserably, and said with anger: "Your Majesty, I am fine, it doesn't matter."

    Huang Taiji no longer cared about the Ninth Five-Year Plan: "Hai Lanzhu, you can't fall down. If you have something wrong with you, I don't want to live anymore."

    Hailanzhu raised his right hand with difficulty, wiped Huang Taiji's tears and said: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. If this spreads out, the people of the country will say that I am a fox who seduces the Lord. Your Majesty cannot let this concubine carry you on your back."  Infamy."

    Huang Taiji nodded and responded: "I won't say, I won't say."

    The imperial doctor took Hai Lanzhu's pulse and felt it again and again on Hai Lanzhu's wrist. However, he could not find the pulse. The imperial doctor's heart suddenly sank: "Concubine Chen's hard work has been exhausted, and she can only wait for a while."  It's day. He quickly prepared an emergency prescription, crushed it into powder, and asked the female officer to serve Hai Lanzhu to drink it.

    After taking medicine for a long time, Concubine Chen had become rebellious to the taste of the medicine. In addition, her body was extremely weak at the moment and her gastrointestinal absorption ability was extremely poor. She could not absorb these bitter effects. In less than a moment, she vomited them all.  The imperial doctor had no choice but to use silver needles to protect Chen Fei's Shangwan, Zusanli, Neiguan and other acupoints. After acupuncture for two moments, Chen Fei took the medicine.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Just when Concubine Chen fainted and there were screams in Guanju Palace, Jinzhou¡¯s Shiwanhuo urgent report came.  How could the guard dare to cause trouble at this juncture? He was so anxious that he stood at the palace gate.It kept spinning.  When Concubine Zhuang found out, she asked, "Why are you hanging around here?"

    The guard knelt down and said, "My dear Concubine Zhuang, Jinzhou has sent you an urgent report of 100,000 yuan."

    Seeing that it was a military situation, Concubine Zhuang knew there was no need to delay, so she ordered: "Send to Prince Li's Mansion immediately."

    The guard slapped his head and said, "I'm really lost. Thank you for your advice." He stood up and ran towards Prince Li's Mansion.

    Concubine Zhuang is smart and smart. She knows that the only one who can convince the emperor at this moment is Prince Li, and no one else can. Fan Wencheng may be able to do it, but he doesn't dare.

    Sure enough, Daishan, Jierhalang and Fan Wencheng came together.  Daishan entered Guanju Palace and asked directly: "Where is the emperor?"

    Huang Taiji heard Daishan's voice in the inner room and hurriedly responded: "Second brother, I am here. \\yd \\"

    Daishan entered the inner room directly, without even asking about Concubine Chen's illness, and whispered: "Your Majesty, please go outside to speak."

    Huang Taiji followed Daishan to the outer room, and Daishan said: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Jinzhou."

    Huang Taiji took it and scanned it quickly. He typed the report with his right hand: "Second brother, the situation is very serious. If the battle is defeated, most of the soldiers besieging the city may be eaten by them. The efforts of the disabled for many years will have to be paid off."  I will go to Jinzhou tomorrow for reinforcements. Mr. Wen Cheng, please immediately order the troops of King Sanshun to go to the front line of Jinzhou."

    A guard suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, blood. Blood!"

    When everyone looked at the guard's hand, they saw a stream of blood flowing out of Huang Taiji's nostrils.  People were panicked again.  The guards helped the emperor back to Qingning Palace.

    The condition this time is even more severe than what it was in Zhonghou.  The doctor who specialized in serving Huang Taiji tried his best, but could not stop the bleeding.  Huang Taiji was lying on the bed, his whole body felt weak and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

    Everyone was in a hurry.  Daishan was so anxious that he rubbed his hands: "What should I do? What should I do?"

    Hauge hurriedly said: "Should we invite the shaman to come and take a look?"

    Fan Wencheng shook his head: "The Emperor has always opposed pretending to be a ghost, so it's better not to invite him."

    Zhezhe sighed and said, "I can't invite you. If the emperor finds out, it will be even worse if you get angry."

    Huang Taiji knew very well that the illness this time was caused by Concubine Chen's serious illness. He called the imperial doctor who was treating Concubine Chen to him: "Concubine Chen has been ill for several years, can you cure her?  "

    Zhezhe and Zhuang Fei were angry and laughing at the same time: "I am so sick, and I still think about others."

    Daishan did not dare to speak of Huang Taiji, so he could only scold the imperial doctor: "Get out, get out. Without my words, you are not allowed to come in again."

    Daishan turned around and asked the doctor: "How is it? Can you stop it?"

    Lang was in a panic: "The flow is much less now, and it will stop in another hour. But it still has to leak. The emperor needs to rest now."

    The next day, Huang Taiji felt that his mind was much clearer and his body seemed to have regained his strength. Hai Lanzhu was also much better, and his irritable and chaotic mood from yesterday also calmed down.  He ordered the guards: "Gather troops and horses immediately, I want to go to Jinzhou in person."

    The Queen and Concubine Zhuang were shocked. They both knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not do it. You are just a little better. The doctor has repeatedly told you to rest. If you leave now, it will be bumpy and tiring along the way. It will not be good if you do it again."  Done.¡±

    Huang Taiji said: "You don't know, but the military situation ahead is extremely urgent, and I can't lie down for a moment."

    The two of them cried anxiously: "Your Majesty, please take care of her for a few more days. We beg you."

    Just when Daishan, Jierhalang, Fan Wencheng and others came in, they were shocked when they heard it. Daishan advised: "The emperor's dragon body is related to the national destiny of the Qing Dynasty. You must not take the body of ten thousand gold."  It¡¯s a child¡¯s play.¡±

    Huang Taiji had already gotten up and went to the ground: "Second brother, in normal times, I would have been able to support him for a year and a half, let alone a few days, but I could bear it, but something unexpected could happen at any time ahead. Lying on the kang  "I'm like an ant on a hot pot. If I lie down again, I'll be anxious to death."

    Daishan sounded reasonable, but he still felt uneasy, so he asked Fan Wencheng beside him: "Mr. Wencheng, what do you think?"

    Fan Wencheng said: "The military situation on the frontline is deteriorating. Once the army is defeated, it will be a fatal blow to both the emperor and the Qing Dynasty. Allowing the emperor to raise a general under such circumstances will not only be unhealthy for the body, but will also cause harm to the Qing Dynasty."  If the condition worsens, it will be fine as long as you pay more attention along the way.¡±

    Daishan had no choice but to respond: "Okay, bring one more imperial doctor."

    Huang Taiji ordered Jierharang and Xiedaishan to stay in Shengjing.He led Dorgon, Hauge and other three thousand elite troops to Jinzhou.  Not far away, Huang Taiji's nosebleed started again. He blocked his nostrils with a towel, and desperately rode forward, arriving at Songshan City six days later.  Azig notified all the banners of the news that the emperor was sick and was coming in person. The soldiers were all excited and shouted, "Long live the emperor."

    In the big tent, Huang Taiji listened to the reports from various generals and looked at the map repeatedly. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked, "Where is Hong Chengchou's grain and grass stationed?"

    Azig immediately pointed to the map: "Here, Beacon Mountain."

    Huang Taiji saw that there was a mountain called Changling to the north of Bijia Mountain, so he continued to ask: "Are there any heavy Ming troops in the Changling area?"

    The generals shook their heads and said they didn¡¯t know.  Huang Taiji said: "This is Hong Chengchou's seven inches. Send a sentry immediately to investigate."

    In the evening, a dozen sentinels returned to report that there were no Ming troops in the Changling area.  Huang Taiji's nosebleed was still oozing out. He blocked the cotton ball on his nostril and said, "Hong Chengchou is gone."

    Azig and others have already guessed the emperor¡¯s intention: ¡°Does the emperor want to cut off his food supply?¡±

    Huang Taiji laughed loudly: "I want Hong Chengchou to become a turtle in the urn."

    Abatai said: "Your Majesty, this Hong Chengchou does have some tricks. Don't underestimate him. Yuan Chonghuan only defends but not attacks. Hong Chengchou is both offensive and defensive. We have suffered losses from him several times. Please don't underestimate the enemy."

    Du Du also said from the side: "What Rao Yubeile said is absolutely true. Hong Chengchou is indeed very powerful. He is the most powerful general in the Ming Dynasty we have encountered."

    Huang Taiji nodded in approval and said, "You reminded me well. Hong Chengchou will definitely know that we are planning to steal his food and grass, and the defense must be very tight." He thought for a long time, put down the tea cup in his hand on the table, and ordered:  "Spare Yubeile."

    Abatai responded: "I'm here."

    "I order you and Ao Bai to each lead 5,000 troops to sneak attack Bijia Mountain. You attack the front, and Ao Bai attacks the rear. Before attacking, try to capture a few Ming soldiers, find out the situation around their grain and pasture fields, and don't rush in.  You take action first, and Obai can take the opportunity to send people to sneak into the grain field and set it on fire. As long as the fire breaks out, the Ming army will be in chaos. Then you two will attack from the front and back, and you will definitely win a complete victory."

    "Du Du, you lead 5,000 troops to support us. If anything changes, we will quickly reinforce you."

    "Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Su Hauge, and Prince Kong Youde, you three will each lead an army of 10,000. You will set off immediately tonight, pass through Changling, and intersect between Songshan and Xingshan to counter-encircle Hong Chengchou.  King Gong Shun must use the power of the red cannon and never let the Ming army take advantage. "

    "Duduo, you can lead five thousand elite troops to ambush the Gaoqiao area between Songshan and Ningyuan and defeat the fleeing troops."

    "Ajige and I will keep the front, and those loud voices will be transferred to my use." Huang Taiji looked at everyone: "Act immediately!"

    Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

    Zhang Dou was ordered by the Governor to guard the food and grass. He was well aware of the great responsibility. After taking office, he never slept peacefully for fear of serious consequences due to some oversights.

    He also followed the example of the Qing army and dug trenches around the grain and pasture fields, but soon after the construction started, Abatai and Obai quietly reached the camp.  Before dividing their troops, Abatai and Aobai captured two Ming soldiers. After interrogation, they learned that the Ming army had placed archers around the grain fields and dug some traps at the gate of the village.  The two laughed and said, "Hong Chengchou only has this little trick, which is easy to deal with."

    Zhang Dou was patrolling the camp when he heard the sound of a cannon and the sound of killing.  Zhang Dou was prepared and did not panic. He sneered and said, "Here he is indeed. Come here, I will let you come and go tonight."

    He ordered the archers to prepare. When the Qing soldiers arrived, he gave the order: "Let go!" Three thousand arrows were fired at them.

    Unexpectedly, the Qing army was already prepared. Those who rushed forward held shields and blocked the arrows. Three thousand arrows turned into nothing.  Zhang Dou was shocked and ordered to shoot again, but it still didn't work.

    By this time, the Qing army had already rushed to the gate of the village. Zhang Dou went into battle in person, and the two sides fought together.

    Several warriors sent by Obai had sneaked into the grain field. When they heard the sound of cannons in front, they set fire to it regardless of what happened. When the hay met the fire, the flames suddenly rose into the sky, and in an instant, the night sky was illuminated.  It must be like day.
