Chapter 2129: Defeat the boat
Chapter 2127: Defeat the boat
Chen Baxian will rebel, which is both reasonable and unexpected.
The reason why Chen Baxian surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was that he was undermined by the Liaodong family led by Gao Qiu and Cai Jing. The actions he made in helplessness were not his original intention at all.
Moreover, after surrendering, the Liaodong family not only pushed all the infamy to Chen Baxian, not only letting Chen Baxian have a bad reputation, but also leaving no power for him. They also encouraged the Qing generals to humiliate Chen Baxian repeatedly, trying to force him to commit suicide forever.
Under this experience, even ordinary people may not be able to bear it, let alone a hero like Chen Baxian?
The reason why Chen Baxian rebelled was unexpected was that Chen Baxian had no rights anymore, and the Liaodong family also took good care of him, and rebelling was like seeking death.
What everyone in the Qing camp did not expect was that Chen Baxian not only rebelled, but also attracted a group of people and burned the Qing army''s precious ships and food.
Then another question arises. How did Chen Baxian do this? The reason is very simple, with Black Ice Platform supporting him behind his back.
Before the war between Qin and Qing dynasties began, the two major intelligence organizations, Black Ice Platform and Adhesive Pole, had already used Youzhou as the battlefield to compete.
Either assassination, or instigation, or inquiries, in order to severely damage Fu Fang, the two major intelligence organizations have already tried their best, and Chen Baxian naturally became one of the targets of the Black Ice Platform.
Although Chen Baxian had no military power at this time, he was once King Chen after all, and he still had some influence in the surrendered army of Chen State. He also hated the Qing Dynasty and the Liaodong families very much. It can be said that he would succeed as long as he wins over.
Such a perfect chess piece black ice platform will naturally not let go.
Heibingtai sent a secret spy Mo Ya to secretly contact Chen Baxian. What Mo Ya didn''t expect was that he had not revealed his identity. Chen Baxian had already guessed his identity and decided to turn to Qin. He also proposed a series of rebellion plans.
The situation of Chen''s surrendered army was really special. He was loyal to Gongsun Xuanyuan at first. After Gongsun Shu rebelled, he had to rebel. Later, Chen Ba first joined forces with the Liaodong family to launch a coup. This army changed its flag and became loyal to Chen Baxian, and then was pulled by the Liaodong family to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
In just one year, Chen Jun changed hands four times. How loyal can such an army have?
If the Qing Dynasty continued to be strong, the Chen army would naturally not dare to make any changes, but once the Qing army was at a disadvantage, they would never be buried with the Qing army.
Chen Baxian is full of confidence in this.
As the situation in Youzhou became more and more dangerous, the Qing Dynasty naturally didn''t care about Chen Baxian, and Chen Baxian took this opportunity to contact his old subordinates.
Just as the Qin army gained a decisive advantage and the army crossed Yanshan Mountain in one fell swoop, Chen Baxian pulled three generals who betrayed his generals, and a total of three battalions and three thousand soldiers turned against each other.
The reason why only three generals were attracted was because Chen''s army had poor combat power and low morale. It was not an exaggeration to let such an army go to the front line to fight against the tiger and wolf Qin army armed to the teeth.
Nurhaci didn''t care about Chen''s life or death, but he couldn''t let the Chen army affect the morale of the Qing army. So he ordered the surrendered army to guard Liaodong in western and eastern Liaoning, and only the elite Chen army that the third battalion could be defeated, and all the captains of the third battalion were instigated by Chen Ba first.
After the successful rebellion, Chen Baxian took advantage of the Qing army''s lack of defense against him and seized the opportunity to attack decisively, burning down the newly built ports of the Qing army, as well as food and ships.
In Nurhaci''s eyes, Chen Baxian was just a loser. He spared his life with kindness for a moment. It would be fine if he was not grateful, but he dared to backfire himself at such a critical moment? And it succeeded.
Nurhaci was naturally extremely angry about this. In a hurry, he vomited blood and fainted. It was a day after waking up, and the fire at the port had been extinguished.
"Your Majesty, only eight thousand stones of food and grass are left. As for the ships..."
Seeing Wanyan Honglie sucking and spitting, Nurhaci sighed lightly and said, "Tell me, how many ships are left?"
“Eighteen boats.”
"What?" all the generals exclaimed.
It doesn’t matter if the food and grass are burned, after all, the decisive battle is about to start, and the food and grass are no longer used, but the boat cannot burn it.
These ships can transport grain, and naturally they can take people back. The Qing army is now trapped in Youbeiping and cannot advance or retreat, and the Qin army is also difficult to defeat, so we expect these ships to escape.
Now only eighteen ships were burned by Chen Baxian, and their hopes were shattered. After all, how many people could the Eighteen Search Ships send away? If you want to leave, it is also the top management. No matter how much you turn, it is not their turn.
As soon as he thought of this, the middle-level generals started to curse, wishing they could swallow Chen Baxian alive.
"Damn Chen Baxian, I should have killed him directly at the beginning."
"If you kill Chen Baxian, you must kill Chen Baxian to let him know the consequences of betraying the Qing Dynasty."
…
After venting, everyone''s eyes focused on Nurhaci again.
There are only eighteen ships left. Nurhaci has the final say for who can leave and who stay.
Nurhaci understood the meaning of the generals, and after a moment of silence, he raised his head, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and said indifferently: "Come here, burn the remaining eighteen ships and all the food and grass for me."
"What? No, absolutely not."
Chu Ying was shocked when he heard this and was the first to jump out to stop him. After all, as a prince, he could definitely get on the boat and flee back to western Liaoning. Now that he is burned, he can''t even go back.
All the generals were also stunned by Nurhaci''s decision. After reacting, they hurriedly followed Chu Ying to object.
"Your Majesty, you can''t burn it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if the ship is burned, how should Your Majesty and the princes go back?"
"Your Majesty''s body of a thousand gold coins must not be left to take risks."
…
Nurhaci directly ignored everyone''s dissuasion, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "You will naturally be able to go back if you defeat the Qin army."
"But…"
Chu Ying was very anxious and was ready to persuade him again, but Nurhaci didn''t give him a chance to speak.
"Enough, my intention is gone. This time I will follow the example of the overlord, cut off hope, and burn my boats. Only in this way can I defeat the Qin army."
Nurhaci''s eyes were full of determination and he shouted, "Burn."
"Christ."
The eighteen ships that survived were burned by Nurhaci.
The senior military officials such as mountain lion camel, Yang Dayan, and Jin Wushu watched the ship turn into ashes, with complex colors in their eyes.
Even if there are only eighteen ships left, the top leaders can definitely take a boat to evacuate, but no one expected that Nurhaci would have the courage to burn his boat.
Now even Nurhaci is not leaving. If they don’t want to die, they will naturally stay and fight to the death.
