In the early morning of the next day, the Ministry of Officials reported that Yuan Chonghuan, the former magistrate of Shaowu County, had returned to Beijing to pay homage to his post.
When Zhu Youxiao heard this name, he immediately ordered him to go to court.
After Yuan Chonghuan saluted, Zhu Youxiao looked at it carefully and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
This was really nothing like the mighty Governor Yuan in his mind.
A dark, thin and short man, he looked neither powerful nor resembling him.
He looked like he had force, but his disappointment was just because of his preconceptions.
He believed that people should not be judged by their appearance.
Since Yuan Chonghuan had such a great reputation in history, he was certainly not a simple person.
Zhu Youxiao asked: "As a rule, Yuan Qing should be allowed to take any position."
Respectfully, Holy Judgment.
Zhu Youxiao didn't want Governor Yuan to be a county magistrate or prefect again.
He should be used to build slaves.
When he was thinking about how to arrange him, Hou Xun said: "Yuan Chonghuan has excellent academic performance, and he is a good soldier."
In conclusion, I recommended him to be the head of the Ministry of War's Staff Department. " Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and was about to speak when Wang Qia, the imperial censor of Qiandu on the right, and Liu Zongzhou, the envoy of general affairs on the left, came out together and said: "I second my opinion."
Zhu Youxiao thought to himself that he came from a later generation, so of course he knew the reputation of Governor Yuan.
These people actually also thought highly of Yuan Chonghuan.
This showed that Yuan Chonghuan really had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, so he made the decision and appointed him as the head of the Staff Department of the Ministry of War.
I thought that I would just arrange for him to go to Liaodong after the situation in Liaodong became clear.
In the first month of the second year of Tianqi, Nurhachi was ready to attack Guangning and began to mobilize troops to Haizhou and Niuzhuang.
When Later Jin was gathering troops on the east bank of the Liao River, Wang Huazhen was also dispatching troops and generals, deploying troops and horses, and preparing to cross the river to attack in order to realize his strategy.
Later, Jin soldiers approached the river and crossed to the west, so it was inevitable.
However, Wang Huazhen naively thought that they did not dare to cross the river, and even planned to order Luo Wanyan, his general, to take some sentries across the river to "lure them", and then attack them with elite cavalry, which would surely inflict "big damage".
All the generals objected together, thinking that the Jin army would be severely damaged if they had a strong city and strong soldiers waiting for work.
Wang Huazhen gave up angrily.
The Houjin army had a total of about 50,000 troops, divided into three groups.
The main force was concentrated in the Sancha River area, and the other two groups crossed the river from Liuhe and Huangniwa.
In the early morning of the 20th of the first lunar month, the main force of the Houjin army broke camp and began to march from Sancha River.
When they were crossing the river, the river defense soldiers deployed by Wang Huazhen turned around and fled when they saw that the situation was not good.
The soldiers of the Hou Jin outpost fiercely pursued for twenty miles until they reached Xiping Fort.
After crossing the river, the Hou Jin soldiers rushed straight to Xiping Fort and attacked the south gate first.
General Hei Yunhe ignored Luo Guanyi's dissuasion and went out of the city to fight.
The military fired heavy arrows, and Heiyunhe did not dare to continue to charge forward, so he had to return to the fort.
On the 21st, the main force of the Hou Jin army began to attack again.
Hei Yunhe came out to fight again.
He took a big sword and shouted: "Who dares to fight with me?"
A general from the Hou Jin army rushed forward and shot an arrow.
He hit Hei Yunhe in the neck, and then killed him under the city with a knife.
Hou Jin soldiers shouted loudly, and 50,000 soldiers surrounded the small Xiping Fort, blocking the way.
Li Yongfang asked an envoy to come to the city with a flag.
Li Yongfang stood under the flag and wanted to persuade Luo Yiguan to surrender: "I know General Luo is a good man.
The Ming Dynasty is unethical and the general cannot achieve his ambitions.
Surrender quickly.
Dajin can Give full play to the general's bravery, and I am willing to share the wealth and honor with the general."
Luo Guanyi, the deputy commander guarding Xiping Fort, cursed: "The traitorous court has never treated you badly.
Why did you rebel?

Don't you know that all of us in Xiping Fort are loyal ministers and righteous men?
Do you think that everyone will shave their heads and abandon their ancestors like you?"
What face does your dead son have to go see your ancestors?"
He also raised a flag, waved it to Li Yongfang to surrender, and shouted: "The traitor Li Yongfang surrenders quickly, and I will save you from death."
Li Yongfang was furious and ordered an attack on the city.
The cannon fodder of the Han army began to rush toward the castle with chariots, ladders, iron hooks, etc.
The cannons in the city fired.
Although they were solid shells, they could not withstand the large number of Han soldiers.
The shells fell to the ground and rolled forward, sweeping away five or six Han soldiers on the way before stopping.
Because there were many people, it can be said that the shells were fired without any miss. .
After the Han troops who were not on the trajectory of the cannonballs approached the city wall, the sound of firecrackers began to sound again, killing the Han troops wantonly.
Under the double blow of cannons and firecrackers, the piles of corpses outside the city grew higher and higher, almost as high as the city wall.
The chariots and ladders were always destroyed as soon as they were put up on the city wall.
Many Han troops did not dare to approach at all.
When the fighting was the fiercest, they were about to break the city three times, but were repulsed three times.
During the fierce battle, a flying arrow hit Luo Yiguan in one eye.
The unbearable pain caused him to lose the ability to command, but the soldiers still fought separately.
The gunpowder has been used up and the arrows have been used up, but reinforcements have not yet arrived.
At noon, after the artillery bombardment stopped, the Hou Jin Army finally swarmed up with chariots and captured the city.
Luo Yiguan, together with the capital ministers Chen Shangren and Wang Chongxin, committed suicide and died for the country.
All three thousand Ming soldiers guarding the city were wiped out, and the whole city was wiped out with blood.
After receiving the request for help from Xiping Fort, Xiong Tingbi immediately ordered Wang Huazhen, the archery supervisor, to assist Xiping.
Wang Huazhen ordered Liu Qu to withdraw all the soldiers from Zhenwu Fort to relieve the siege.
He also listened to the idea of his confidant Sun Degong and sent out all the troops in Guangning, with Sun Degong as the vanguard.
Together with Zu Dashou, he joined Qi Bingzhong's troops who were guarding Luyang Post, with a total of more than 30,000 people, to break the siege of Xiping Fort.
As soon as Xiping Fort was breached, reinforcements arrived.
The Hou Jin soldiers did not even have time to clean up the results of the battle, and hurriedly began to form an attack.
Sun Degong asked Liu Qu to rush in with his men, while he hid in the rear.
When Liu Qu just came into contact with Hou Jin's army, he immediately led his men to flee back, shouting as he ran: "Jiannu is powerful and defeated.
Run away quickly.
Yeah."
Guerrilla Zu Dashou and deputy general Bao Chengxian also fled back, so the rear formation dispersed in a flurry.
Liu Qu, who was fighting, heard the noise behind the formation and didn't know why.
His subordinates told him: "The soldiers behind have escaped."
He was so confused that he resisted randomly and then fled with his troops.
Later, the Jin army pursued them closely, surrounded the Ming army in Shaling, and massacred them like melons and vegetables.
Liu Qu's horse fell down, knocking him to the ground, and he was killed by Hou Jin soldiers.
Qi Bingzhong was hit by two knives and three arrows.
Fortunately, he was rescued by his servants, helped him onto his horse, and rushed out of the encirclement.
He died of serious injuries midway.
Liu Zheng, the deputy general of Zhenwu Fort, rushed to kill in the tight siege and was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse.
Liu Shizhang was hit by an arrow, passing through his hip and nailing him to the saddle.
About 30,000 Ming troops died in the sand ridge.
Zu Dashou ran all the way and stopped only when he reached Juehua Island.
Sun Degong received Wang Huazhen's order to persuade Li Yongfang to surrender, but was unexpectedly persuaded to surrender by Li Yongfang.

After he escaped back to Guangning City, he asked his men to spread the news everywhere: "The enemy soldiers are coming to Guangning City."
People became more panicked, the streets were noisy, and the city gates were closed.
Many soldiers lowered themselves from the city walls to escape, and soon Guangzhou was Ning has almost become an empty city.
On the one hand, Sun Degong and his party members were inciting people; on the other hand, they closed the treasury and gunpowder warehouse, preparing to welcome Nurhachi into the city
