Chapter 325: Marching into Liaodong
On February 25, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the auspicious day of the zodiac, everything is appropriate, not to avoid jealousy, and auspicious.
The big teaching field outside Desheng Gate was surrounded by a sea of people, and it was crowded with the people of Beijing.
Such a large-scale expedition has not happened in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and it is the crown prince who came to the border pass on behalf of the sky, and there are more people who come to see the excitement and see off than the soldiers who went out.
In the teaching field, Tianwu Army, Tianxiong Army, Qin Bing, Hong Bing, Xuanda Army, Jizhou, Miyun ........ The hundreds of thousands of troops were all fully armored, standing neatly and solemnly, forming a large phalanx with no end in sight.
The Tianwu Army is in the middle of the army, and the tall and mighty images are not to mention, with a forest of banners and iron armor, which makes people look amazing.
Zhang Shize, Wang Wannian and other generals of the Beijing camp came to look at the army with great envy, and it was a pity that they had nothing to do with this expedition.
Wang Wannian looked sad and indignant, and leaned in front of Sun Yingyuan and said: "Brother Sun, you are so lucky, you have caught up with such a big battle, why don't we have a chance?" ”
"How do I know, you go and ask Your Majesty." Sun Yingyuan faintly pointed in the direction of Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Wannian was dumbfounded, and suddenly lost his temper.
At the end of the day, the expedition ceremony officially began, and Emperor Chongzhen personally presided over the grand expedition ceremony on the altar.
The Bell and Drum Division began to play the "Song of Yanjing Luck": Yanjing Luck, Dusheng Holy Emperor, Ming Yuji, Yuanshao Yu Tang ......
The grand movement sounded, Zhu Cihong was dressed in military uniform, standing behind Chongzhen, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, Cao Bianjiao, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei and other generals who went out to fight were all fully armed and sacrificed together.
In addition, there are Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the military department and the governor of Xuanda, and Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch of the army, all of whom have to go out with the army.
After sacrificing to the sky, sacrificing the earth, and suing the temple, the bell and drum division played the "Song of the Imperial Wind": the imperial wind was eight tables, the bustling sound was preached, the time and the scene were bright, Zichen opened the embroidered feast, the dragon gon Yao was sunny, and the golden furnace was full of auspicious smoke.........
Zhu Cihong led the generals to take an oath: "The barbarian clan of Jiannu, wantonly refuses to give orders, resists my emperor, kills my people, plunders my property, so bestial, the gods are angry, Huayi Zhaoshu, one heart is resentful, and is willing to be punished, when the emperor is the righteous army, the long drive period, smash its lair, exterminate the fierce and stop the violence, in order to sue the world!" ”
"Daming Wansheng! Daming Wansheng! ”
Not only were hundreds of thousands of troops shouting, but even the surrounding people were shouting heartbreakingly, and the deafening sound resounded throughout the land.......
Zhu Cihong knelt down on one knee, took the sword of the Son of Heaven symbolizing military power and imperial order from Chongzhen's hand, turned around and walked down the altar, facing the soldiers lined up neatly, and shouted loudly: "Pass my military order, and the whole army will be pulled!" ”
With the opening of the army, the bell and drum division played the three "Qinghai Yu": draw the sword and start the Huaitu, set the horse to set the Huan District, the king opened the heavens, the treasure should be Qianfu, the Wu Luo Wenmo, the dragon and tiger Fengyun started at the beginning, the general star circled, the warrior moon bent the arc, selected to ride the Ping Nanchu, formed the formation of Dongwu, crossed Shu to drive Hu, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers Zhuang Emperor's residence.
The army was mighty, hunting with banners, the cavalry was in front, the infantry army was behind, and under the farewell of the people of Beijing, the army left Beijing in an orderly manner and marched to Liaodong.
Looking at the flag that was gradually moving away, the bell and drum division played the "Song of the Emperor" again: God, I am the emperor, the great destiny is set, and the solid support is ....... Long live the autumn, forever.
Outside the Desheng Gate, countless people were reluctant to leave for a long time, praying that the emperor's army could settle the battle and return victorious.
........
The army went all the way to the east, along Tongzhou and Sanhe, and took the line of Yutian, Fengrun, Yongping, Funing and Shanhaiguan.
This road is flat, almost all of them are plain avenues, and they have entered the beginning of spring, and they have walked fifty or sixty miles a day, and the march is still very easy.
It is about 700 miles from Jingshi to Shanhaiguan, and about 400 miles from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, and it can be reached in 20 days.
The grain and grass required by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are very large, fortunately, the Tianwu army cut off the grain and grass plundered by the Qing army, and hoarded it in the middle of the road.......
Even so, there was still an endless stream of grain trucks from Beijing to the front line of Shanhaiguan, and the imperial court mobilized tens of thousands of vehicles and horses to provide a steady stream of grain and grass for the front-line army.
Qing Kingdom, Shengjing Chongde Palace.
The princes and ministers of the Qing Kingdom were discussing, and their faces were deeply worried.
Da Ming moved the strength of the country out of the customs, this move completely surprised everyone, and even the always calm Huang Taiji had an ugly face and was a little stunned.
After working in the Manchu family for more than ten years, he was in charge a year earlier than Chongzhen, and he had fought for so many years, it stands to reason that Huang Taiji would not be so out of shape, but he was really stunned.
In his national policy, this entry is to drag down the Ming Dynasty, so that they can't get up within a few years, and strive to cultivate for a few years before entering the customs in a big way, but I didn't expect the Ming Dynasty to go the other way, not only did not stop the army, but also pulled all the troops that could fight!
Does Chongzhen have this courage? Huang Taiji, who was disrupted by the rhythm, was not used to this feeling, and he asked worriedly, "Are you sure that the prince of Mingguo will come?" ”
For Zhu Cihong and the Tianwu Army, the Manchu Qing Dynasty attached great importance to it, and they were broken by them both times, and their combat effectiveness was very abnormal.
Dorobelle Dolgon said: "According to the preliminary information, the prince of the Ming Kingdom will indeed come, and the fine work of the minions placed in the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom has suffered a major blow, and it will take some time to be sure." ”
The Qing army lost tens of thousands of soldiers when it entered the customs, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria also lost more than 10,000 soldiers, and the three banners were defeated.
In the past, Huang Taiji did not dare to deal with Dolgon easily, because Dolgon not only had two white flags with outstanding combat power, but also had the support of Daishan behind him.
The death of the four major Baylors of the year, the solitary confinement of the confinement, only Dai Shan is still firmly standing in the Qing court, although this person seems to be low-key, but he has a force to be reckoned with in the Qing court.
Dai Shan is the best at doing things behind the scenes, and after a few times, it often gets bloody, but he himself looks at the excitement coldly, success or failure has nothing to do with him, even Huang Taiji is afraid of him, and the most important thing is that Dai Shan's family has two red flags.
Now the two red flags have been defeated by the Tianwu Army, and the inlaid white flag has also been defeated, leaving only Dolgon's positive white flag, the old generation of good people lost two sons and two grandchildren, one is ill, and it is estimated that there will be no days to live.
Huang Taiji held two yellow flags in his hands, the eldest son Haoge held the blue flag, and the dog-legged Zierharang held the inlaid blue flag, so he naturally no longer worried and began to put Dolgon to death.
If it weren't for the great enemy, the Mongolian people would be unstable, and Huang Taiji would have considered how to get rid of him completely.
