Section 758 Battle of Beijing
The second Tartar Ning sat in the tent after me, and his face was gloomy and terrifying!
He remained in this position from afternoon to night, and the passers-by carefully slowed their pace so as not to disturb him.
The two Tartars ---- the Eight Banners of the Han Army, mainly the Han people outside the Guanhai who took refuge in the Tartars or the Han people who made important "contributions" to the Tartars, and their importance in the eyes of the real Tartars is naturally above the Han people in the Guannai.
Ning Wan I am a border citizen of Liaoyang at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the Mandate of Heaven of the old wild boar skin, Ning Wan I surrendered to Houjin, and in the early days of surrender, I worked for Belle Sakhalian, and belonged to the Han Army Zhenghong Banner.
In the third year of Tiancong (1629), Huang Taiji heard that Ning Wan was proficient in literature and history, and summoned him to the palace to enter the literary hall. After Ning Wan entered the palace, he recommended many talented people to enter the palace, and Bao Chengxian was one of them. Soon, I was awarded the rank of general.
In the fourth year of Tiancong (1630), the Qing army invaded North China, and then Jin Ming Ning Wan and Dahai went to the new territory to appease the people. Then Ning Wan and I followed the Qing army to conquer the Daling River and appease Chahar, and was awarded the title of Guardian for his merits.
In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), after the pseudo-Shunzhi emperor Dingding Yanjing, Ning Wan I was used as a bachelor, and I was prepared for heavy use.
But so what, a dog is a dog, and a slave is a slave!
At noon, Ning Wan and I received a bad news, his beloved youngest son Ning Shichun died in the city of Beijing!
The Qing army has been attacking the city for three days, and in order, they used the Ming people to fill the ravine, fill the moat, and then drive the 20,000 puppet army to the strong and impregnable city of Beijing.
I don't know if the 20,000 puppet soldiers regretted not fleeing before accepting this mortal mission!
20,000 people is too little, 30,000 Han Eight Banners, and even 30,000 Mongolian Eight Cavalry also came in handy and rushed to the city wall together.
Ning Shichun is the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and also participated in the war.
The Ming army defending the city had a resolute attitude, struck at all the invading enemies, and killed a large number of Ming people who went to fill the ravines, and naturally they would not be soft on the besiegers.
The guns are all in full swing, and the fire is extremely fierce!
The Qing court provided ample firepower for the large amount of gunpowder accumulated in the war.
The holy relics of defending the city---- stone and wooden cannon bottles, ash and gold juice, a large number of preparations, sent when the enemy is seen, Ning Shichun was smashed by a stone and his skull burst and died!
As many Qing troops come, they will die!
The number of casualties was extremely large, both the puppet army and the Han Eight Banners were depressed, and the Mongolian Eight Cavalry was extremely depressed, they were the cavalry elite, mainly cavalry, but they were forced to dismount and climb the ladder.
When they clumsily stepped Cairo to climb on the ladder and were knocked down, they missed the flying war horses very much, they were the sons of the grassland, why should they intervene in the Ming and Qing wars, it was not worth dying!
And the Tartars are also depressed, they already knew that they would not let go of the 100,000 puppet troops who ran away before, and how good it would be to use them to charge cannon fodder to attract firepower.
For this reason, Leng Seng Ji, who played the role of a dog-headed military advisor, was mercilessly ridiculed, and it was his previous advocacy that ignored the fleeing puppet army, so that now there was not enough cannon fodder to consume the firepower of the Ming army.
He has concerns, in case those puppet soldiers are unhappy and directly fight with them, won't he let the Northern Expeditionary Army chasing after him laugh off his big teeth!
At first, he was worried that the Ming army defending the city would threaten them with the families of the Eight Banners Army, but the Ming army did not make this move!
Why didn't they follow this assumption and disgrace their own division!
Leng Monk Ji was extremely annoyed.
Later it turned out that he seemed to be right, and the Tartars gave them a knife to the captured Ming people and drove them to attack the city of Beijing, and as a result!
The people of the Ming Dynasty directly fought with the Tartars!
It is better to die in the hands of your own people than to fight with the Tartars!
Although they all died at the hands of the Tartars, the Tartars no longer wanted to arm the Ming people to attack the city.
When did the Ming people bring such seeds?!
Tamed as a sheep before, now he has become a different person.
Therefore, it may be right not to control the fleeing puppet army, otherwise they will be in conflict with the Tartars when they receive the mortal mission of attacking, after all, the puppet army is professionally trained and more harmful.
The attack lasted for three days, without the slightest progress, and also to the dismay of the Tartars.
They carried 6-pounder marching guns, but the shells tickled the fortified walls of Beijing.
Beijing city defense played its due role in defense, although the Ming Dynasty's officials were corrupt, but no one dared to take Beijing's city defense as a child's play, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone saw it, if you want to investigate, lift your feet.
Year after year of fortified defense, Beijing City is tall and mighty, but it is a pity that Emperor Chongzhen is not angry, otherwise the use of Beijing city defense is enough to make Li Zicheng bloody.
Now it's different, Yan Changwu has successfully aroused the fear of the people in Beijing--- we have completed the feat of killing the emperor, if the city is broken, the Tartars will slaughter the city!"
In such an atmosphere, the army and the people were united in their efforts to kill the enemy, and Yan Changwu plunged the Tatars into the sea of people's war.
The army that followed him into the city was 30,000, and 20,000 new soldiers were recruited, and 50,000 reservists were recruited, all of which were used for defense.
But!
He also mobilized 100,000 Pekingese to assist in the war, transporting supplies to the city, bringing down wounded soldiers to take care of them, cooking meals, participating in the guards, and even participating in the war......
200,000 defenders VS 100,000 siege soldiers, the ratio of numbers is upside down.
Everything was in order, and Yan Changwu said with satisfaction: "The army and the people are united as one, try to see who can be the enemy in the world, and who can be the enemy!" ”
Beat the attacking Qing army into a daze, Yan Changwu used the method of throwing everything: the army naturally has wages and bonuses when it fights, and the people also have salaries in front of the people, and they are rich, and they pay silver every day!
He's got money!
The money in the treasury of the Qing court, the money in the household department, and the money confiscated by the princes and officials were distributed as bonuses.
Moreover, the materials obtained from the fortified walls and clear fields made the soldiers and civilians defending the city live well, and the officers and soldiers defending the city had meat to eat, rice and buns, and the people who helped the war also had sufficient food.
Generally speaking, besieged cities will control daily necessities, but Yan Changwu opened up supplies and gave good food to the officials and people defending the city.
So when the defenders threw bones under the city to reward the Tartar dogs for eating bones, the puppet soldiers and the second Tartars who ate porridge were stunned, and even the real Tartars who ate a little meat were envious and swallowed their saliva.
If the Ming army threatens the Tatar army with hostages, the bones can be a good defeat to their morale!
The Ming army even threw a bunch of eaten pigs, sheep, cows, and donkey skeletons down!
Among the rulers of the world, Yan Changwu may be the only one who is most willing to spend money on his subjects, but he has to admit that the city defense of Beijing is as impregnable as a copper wall.
Defending the city is the most taboo, and the defenders of the city chant slogans: "Fight for the leader, Ming Wansheng!" ”
Sing "Killing the Tartars": "The heroes of the southeast mansion, the blood stains the barbarians." Return my Han River and Mountain, and swear to destroy the slaves. ……”
The voice is loud, and even those who don't know anything about military affairs can defend the army with high morale!
When facing the enemy, the Ming army carried out the leader's instructions: "Intensify fire against the Tatars!" ”
They hit the Tartars with guns and cannons, used their feet to defend the city relics against the Tartars, and threw explosives bags containing iron nails and iron bullets at the Tartars!
In ancient battles, the role of the fierce general's brother was very great, and there were many warriors in the Qing army.
But he threw the explosives bag at Brother Meng, one didn't work, and two of them, blew up Brother Meng, shot at Brother Meng, slapped him in the face, and Brother Mengjiang had to flee in embarrassment!
The Tartar attack was contained, and what annoyed them even more was that the reinforcements of the Northern Expeditionary Army were rapidly approaching the city of Beijing!
