This matter had to start from the second day after Huang Taiji led his army out of seclusion.
After Huang Taiji led all the troops back to Liaodong.
Governor Yuan, who was following behind, finally heaved a sigh of relief.
His 30,000 Guanning soldiers were the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty.
However, it was difficult to win against the 100,000-strong army.
After Huang Taiji left, he could finally report to Emperor Chongzhen.
However, before he could set off, Emperor Chongzhen's imperial edict arrived.
After praising Governor Yuan, he immediately rode into the capital alone.
At the same time, he ordered Zu Dashou to lead the rest of the troops to guard Zunhua to prevent Huang Taiji from entering again.
Overseer Yuan didn't think too much about it. After hearing the Emperor's praise, he felt a little smug.
Those who did not know him would think that he had forced Huang Taiji to retreat.
Governor Yuan happily entered the capital, but when he reached the main hall, he found the atmosphere somewhat strange.
At this time, even if his sense of smell was very bad, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen probably had something against him.
The good words the imperial edict had said before were just to make him let down his guard and enter the capital.
As expected, Emperor Chongzhen immediately made things difficult for him.
"Yuan Chonghuan, why did you kill Mao Wenlong?”
"Why was Huang Taiji able to lead a hundred thousand troops from Liaodong to invade the capital?”
After Yuan Chonghuan heard Chongzhen's words, he could not help but be stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
His mind was filled with questions about why Chongzhen's attitude towards him had changed so drastically.
He recalled the time when he was on the platform of the Forbidden City. He claimed to have pacified Liao in five years.
Emperor Chongzhen immediately promoted him to be the censor of the right capital and the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
But now, she was going to settle the score with him in less than five years?
Faced with Yuan Chonghuan's stunned expression, the already furious Emperor Chongzhen became even angrier.
In fact, this had a lot to do with Zhu Heng.
Zhu Heng had wiped out tens of thousands of Slave Jian's troops in Liaodong, and in such a short time.
This gave Emperor Chongzhen hope of quickly pacifying Liaodong.
Huang Taiji entering the pass made him feel a huge crisis. Liaodong had to be quickly pacified.
Yuan Chonghuan obviously couldn't do it.
After so many years, Slave Jian had grown stronger and stronger, and this time, he had even marched straight into the capital.
Since Yuan Chonghuan couldn't do it, he would let someone who could do it do it.
And Zhu Heng was obviously the best candidate for Liaodong's governor.
Now, they had obtained such a great victory with just a few people.
If he could control all of Liaodong's military strength, it would be just a matter of time before Liaodong was pacified.
Therefore, Chongzhen had the idea of removing the position given to Zhu Hengteng by Overseer Yuan.
Besides, he was already very unhappy with Yuan Chonghuan.
Especially after he killed Mao Wenlong without permission, it made Emperor Chongzhen wary.
Therefore, the furious Emperor Chongzhen shouted,""Men, arrest Yuan Chonghuan and throw him into the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He will be interrogated by the three divisions.”
Just like that, Governor Yuan was thrown into prison.
Chongzhen did not intend to kill him, but only relieved him of all his duties.
He also planned to lock him up for a few years and let him go back to his hometown to farm.
Yuan Chonghuan's side had been taken down by Emperor Chongzhen, causing one of them to panic.
This person was Zu Dashou.
The reason why Chongzhen left Zu Dashou to lead the Guanning Army was that he was not afraid.
It was to prevent a mutiny after he took down Yuan Chonghuan.
Chongzhen was not stupid. On the contrary, he was a very smart emperor. It was just that he did not use it in the right place.
However, he never expected Zu Dashou to be so sensitive to Yuan Chonghuan's capture.
When he received the news that Yuan Chonghuan had been captured, Zu Dashou's eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
His entire body trembled as he sat on the chair. The corners of his mouth were trembling.
Chongzhen's actions not only chilled his heart, but also made him afraid.
She was afraid that she would follow in Yuan Chonghuan's footsteps.
So Zu Dashou went to Sun Chengzong and asked him to bring his troops back to the Guanning defense line.
Chongzhen had also agreed. Now that Huang Taiji had returned to Liaodong, there would definitely be a huge battle.
Of course, Guan Ningjun had to go back as soon as possible.
Zu Dashou led the Guanning Iron Cavalry back to Jin Zhou.
Meanwhile, Man Gui led the rest of the Guanning Army back to Ningyuan.
As soon as Zu Dashou returned to Jin Zhou, Zhu Heng sent someone to contact him.
His goal was simple. He wanted him to use the Guanning Cavalry to threaten Huang Taiji's flanks.
At the crucial moment, he could even form a pincer attack and completely destroy Huang Taiji's main force.
Zu Dashou was one of the few fierce generals. In addition, his Zu family was a prominent family in Liaodong, so their influence was very great.
Once Liaodong was lost, his Zu Family's days would not be good either.
Of course, he didn't want Huang Taiji to take down Guangning again and directly threaten the Guanning defense line.
Therefore, he agreed with Zhu Heng.
As for Zu Dashou, Zhu Heng still wanted to rope him in.
It was mainly because of the Zu family's reputation and influence in Liaodong.
Furthermore, Zhu Heng, who was well aware of the history of the Ming Dynasty, knew that Zu Dashou wasn't as bad as the later generations said.
Zu Dashou had surrendered twice. The first time was during the Battle of Daling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen.
That year, Huang Taiji besieged Great Ling City for three whole months.
Daling City, which had run out of rations, had no choice but to kill and eat each other in the end. One could imagine how miserable that scene was.
If he didn't surrender, the entire city's people and defenders would die.
Thus, he came up with a plan to feign surrender.
The second time was in the 14th year of Chongzhen and after Hong Chengchou's defeat, Zu Dashou led the remaining troops to defend Jinzhou.
Huang Taiji once again led the army to surround Jinzhou, this time for a whole year.
Thus, Zu Dashou had no choice but to surrender.
From this, it could be seen that Zu Dashou was not a traitor.
He was still useful, but whether he could be put in an important position depended on his performance.
After Zu Dashou agreed to cooperate, he immediately reorganized his troops.
After Zu Dashou came back, Ning Yuan's commander, the Golden Phoenix Country, returned to Ning Yuan.
Zu Dashou was very active in resisting Houjin.
Most importantly, Zhu Heng's brilliant battle record had given him a lot of confidence.
Having fought Huang Taiji many times, he understood this very well.
With so many cannons, Guang Ning City was not something Huang Taiji could break through.
If he could take it down, Jinzhou and Ningyuan would have been broken through long ago. There would be no Guan Ningjin defense line.
With Zu Dashou's help, Zhu Heng was even more confident in defeating Huang Taiji's forces.
After all, the Guanning Iron Cavalry's combat power was still trustworthy.
