Looking at the Ming army all over the mountains, Suksaha raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, the emperor is incompetent and has deserted the battlefield! Rather than working for him, it is better to surrender to the Ming army!"
After the Eight Banners Army entered Korea, they suffered repeated defeats and had no morale.
After hearing that Suksaha was going to surrender, he immediately dropped his weapons and surrendered to the Ming army.
In order to reduce unnecessary losses, the Ming army accepted surrender.
When cleaning up the battlefield, Gao Wengui led his troops over.
The Ming army brought Suksaha to him.
Gao Wengui asked: "Are you Suksaha?"
"yes."
"Do you want to live or die?"
"I want to live."
“Then you have to demonstrate your value.”
"Value?" Suksaha was a little confused: "What value?"
"You have to tell me useful information or help me capture someone valuable."
Suksaha racked his brains and thought: "Does it count as useful news that Dorgon has escaped during the chaos?"
Gao Wengui glared and said, "Do you think I'm blind?"
Suksaha was in a dilemma.
What counts as useful news?
Or someone of value?
Just when Suksaha was about to be driven crazy by this question, he thought of someone.
"Mr. Gao," Suksaha raised his head and looked at Gao Wengui: "Is Fan Wencheng a valuable person?"
Gao Wengui thought he had misheard and subconsciously repeated the question: "Who?"
"Dorgon's advisor Fan Wencheng."
Gao Wengui excitedly pulled Suksaha up from the ground: "It must be counted, he is too valuable, do you know his whereabouts?"
"I know, it's right there!" Suksaha pointed to a patch of woods next to him.
Dorgon had previously ordered Fan Wencheng to be tied up.
When the Ming army came to kill us, we had no time to deal with them.
Dorgon was so anxious to escape that he forgot about this matter.
Suksaha dared neither release nor kill anyone.
They could only find a tree in the woods and tie Fan Wencheng up.
Plan to deal with it later.
Unexpectedly, the Ming army arrived so quickly that he was surrounded and surrendered before he could deal with it.
In order to survive, he thought of Fan Wencheng.
Led by Suksaha, Gao Wengui and his party came to the woods.
When Fan Wencheng was found, he was rubbing the rope hard in an attempt to escape.
After identification by other surrendered soldiers and generals, it was confirmed that it was Fan Wencheng himself.
Fan Wencheng had discovered them long ago.
Although he did not know Gao Wengui, he had recognized Gao Wengui's identity as a Ming army soldier from the flag.
Looking at Suksaha who was leading the way in front, Fan Wencheng knew that he had been betrayed.
He cursed loudly: "Suksaha, are you worthy of the Zhengbai Banner, the Qing Dynasty, and the Emperor by doing this?"
Suksaha pretended not to hear and bowed to Gao Wengui: "Master Gao, please come this way!"
"Hey!" Gao Wengui stepped forward quickly: "Isn't this Lord Fan? Who tied you up?"
Fan Wencheng knew that his death was approaching, so he simply kept silent.
Gao Wengui waved his hand behind him and said, "Someone, untie Fan Wencheng."
Fan Wencheng opened his eyes and asked in surprise: "You...you won't kill me?"
"Hehe!" Gao Wengui laughed sinisterly, "You are an important figure around Dorgon, how dare I kill you."
Fan Wencheng was a little panicked: "What...what are you going to do?"
Gao Wengui smiled sinisterly again: "Escort him to the capital and await your punishment."
Fan Wencheng was completely panicked: "No, no! Please kill me immediately, I don't want to go to the capital to stand trial!"
With Fan Wencheng's identity, he would be imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison after arriving in the capital.
There.
He will suffer inhuman torture and his life will be worse than death.
Since he would die sooner or later, he would rather die in Liaodong.
Gao Wengui was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly asked someone to take Fan Wencheng away.
Before leaving, he instructed again: "Make sure he arrives in the capital alive."
The soldiers responded: "Don't worry, sir, he won't die."
As long as he is properly supervised, Fan Wencheng will not even have the chance to commit suicide.
Of course.
In theory he could have committed suicide by fasting.
But when a person is hungry to a certain extent, the strong desire to survive will replace the brain to control the body.
Therefore, very few people can commit suicide by fasting.
The soldiers escorted Fan Wencheng northward.
In the evening, they encountered Huang Degong's main force.
While eating, Fan Wencheng saw Bolhui.
Before this, Bolhui fled northward carrying Dorgon's central army flag.
He was captured by Huang Degong on the way and became a prisoner.
Bo Erhui was very optimistic and asked Fan Wencheng with a chuckle, "How did Lord Fan become a prisoner?"
Fan Wencheng said unhappily, "Talk less while eating, or you'll choke to death."
Bo Erhui shook his head, somewhat complacently: "It's better to die of choking than to die of starvation!"
Fan Wencheng shut up and continued his hunger strike.
......
Twenty miles southeast of Haizhou.
After leaving the battlefield, Dorgon rushed south along the coastline.
Li Dingguo led two thousand cavalrymen and pursued closely behind.
Chased for a long time.
The gap between the two sides neither widened nor narrowed.
The three hundred cavalrymen under Dorgon's command are the elite among the elite.
They still maintain the specification of one person riding two horses.
The advantage of the Ming army's war horses could not be brought into play in a short period of time.
The pursuit continued until the evening, and Li Dingguo was forced to stop and rest on the spot.
The next day, at dawn, he led his troops on a journey again.
After asking the local people, Li Dingguo chased to the south.
Before noon.
Dorgon, who was fleeing, saw that his warhorse could hardly run any further, so he could only order his horses to rest on the spot.
While drinking water, Dorgon asked the people around him: "Where is ahead?"
There was a Korean in the army who was familiar with the area and replied, "Fifteen miles ahead is Incheon Dohufu."
Incheon is located west of Seoul, the capital of North Korea.
His original name was Mi Zou Hu.
During the reign of King Jangsu of Goguryeo, it was renamed Mai Zhaohu.
Later, it was called Shaocheng County, Shuzhou, Qingyuan County, Renzhou, and Qingyuan Prefecture.
During the reign of King Sejong of Joseon, it was promoted to Incheon-dohobu.
"Incheon!" Dorgon repeated it softly several times, having a bad feeling.
Sure enough, before he finished drinking the water, a scout came to report: "According to local people, a cavalry of about a thousand well-equipped but without flags passed by here yesterday and headed for Incheon."
"Cavalry without flags?" Dorgon's brain was working rapidly.
First, rule out the possibility of North Korean soldiers.
North Korea has almost no cavalry, and even if it has cavalry equipment, it is useless.
Secondly, exclude the Eight Banners Army.
Then the only ones left might be Wu Sangui and the Ming army.
No matter who the other party is, it is not a good thing for him.
