Section 438 Background of the Campaign

March 15, 1630, off the coast of Tianjin.

Five transport ships were waiting on the ocean for the arrival of the pilot ship with the word "Cao" that was running rampant in the southern seas.

The highest-ranking officer in this fleet was the newly appointed commander of the Northern Army, Zhang Zhongqi.

Zhang Zhongqi was doing P 2P before crossing, and then there was a thunderstorm, this goods ran away, and ran to the Ming Dynasty.

There are many "cultural people" like Zhang Zhongqi in the traversal. After these people crossed, they were able to quickly adjust their state and catch up with the first wave of "posting", so most of them went through secondary training and changed careers to do something else.

Therefore, it is the times that create heroes. In a new environment or era of change, in fact, it is not necessary for the tide maker to have three heads and six arms, the survival of the fittest, whoever can meet the unique environmental requirements of the time can succeed.

It's the same with the traversal. Except for Xia Xianze, who was hand-picked, the rest of the people who could occupy the internal high-level positions were a group of people who adjusted themselves as soon as they crossed over, found the center of gravity in the chaotic situation at that time, and quickly adapted to that strange environment.

There are people from all walks of life in these people, most of them were ordinary occupations before, and many of them were losers in the old world.

Speaking of Comrade Zhang Zhongqi, he obviously did not adapt to the new pattern. This gentleman has not found his direction since he crossed over, and he can't use P2P in this gas era, so he was very confused for a while.

Confused and confused, time was delayed, and then he was coordinated and arranged by the bigwigs who reacted - as the traversal became more and more tight in terms of mainland strategy, unemployed vagrants like Zhang Zhongqi were later "persuaded" to go to the field unit.

The most unpopular in the field is naturally the intelligence services behind enemy lines, followed by the army and exploration teams. Therefore, after Zhang Zhongqi desperately stated that he would not be a dog spy, he could only choose between the army and the exploration team.

Then, after a few months of training, he drove the ducks to the shelves and was sent to be the commander of this Rausch Northern Army.

Zhang Zhongqi, the commander, sounds very draggy, but in fact, he doesn't have many subordinates, and he belongs to empty officials. Because after the Qinwang incident is over, the special combat team and the guard battalion will be withdrawn, leaving Zhang Zhongqi with only the Flying Tiger Battalion and the old school base, so he is just a garrison commander.

.....................

With the arrival of the pilot boat, the support fleet led by Zhang Zhongqi also began to slowly go up the Haihe River.

This time, in addition to some supplies and goods, the most important thing in the fleet was three hundred soldiers of the Guards Battalion.

These soldiers had been staying in Shanghai until now, assisting Xiongdao in the demolition. In the past few months, Xiong Dao took advantage of the aftermath of the shelling incident to send soldiers to forcibly drive the tenants on the title deed from their homes.

Except for a few who stayed to grow potatoes, some of them were driven to the construction site of the prefect Fang Yuegong to repair the sea pond, the other part was transported to Taiwan, and the rest went to the port to start working as construction workers.

This time, the 300 soldiers were transported to Tianjin because after preliminary reconnaissance and assessment, Qian Tieshan, the commander of the special combat team who actually presided over the military operation in the north, believed that it was entirely possible to fight a war of annihilation against the Tartars, so a part of the regular army was needed to join the battle.

Fortunately, the 200 soldiers of the Guards Battalion who came to Tianjin before have become familiar with fighting immediately these days and can be put into battle at any time. In this way, you only need to add some new recruits to come and live in the nest.

After getting off the boat from the dock, Zhang Zhongqi, who was dressed as a military general of the Ming Kingdom, saw General Cao and Commander Qian waiting there. The two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, and when they returned to the old school, Commander Qian immediately introduced the current situation and some battle backgrounds to Zhang Zhongqi.

It's mid-March, and the north has entered the early spring season, the ice sheets are thawing, and the temperature is starting to rise.

The Houjin army, which had opened up the northern corridor, the main force and a large number of looted prisoners of goods and goods, had gathered at Xifengkou at this moment, and were leaving the customs day and night.

After passing the Xifeng Pass, it is equivalent to returning home - although the Guanning army stationed in the Ningjin defense line has a large number of cavalry, this army, which consumes the most military expenses of the Ming court, has long lost the confidence and ability to fight with the Houjin soldiers, so the Guanning army does not dare to rush out of that string of fortresses and attack the Xifeng Pass, which is close at hand.

According to the situation detected by the front-line special combat personnel and the historical records, Qian Tieshan believes that by the end of the month, the whole army can be considered to set off after crossing the Zhongzhong side.

......................

In the history of the Jisi Change, the last Houjin army to withdraw from the Ming Kingdom was the subordinates of Houjin Belle Amin.

In the middle of March, Amin will be sent by Huang Taiji to guard a series of cities in the back corridor: Zunhua, Luanzhou, Qian'an, and Yongping. So Amin divided his troops to guard various places, and took Yongping City, which is closest to Xifengkou, as the base point.

In mid-May, Amin saw that a series of cities in front of him had been captured by the army of King Qin led by Sun Chengzong, so he killed all the Han officials and Han people who surrendered in Yongping City, and took the treasures out of the cold pass and left.

However, Amin's departure also laid the disaster of killing himself.

When Nurhachi ascended the throne as Khan in Hetuara, he set up four major beylers, the great beyler daishan, the second bel amin, the third bel mang gurtai, and the fourth bel huang taiji.

After Nurhachi's death, Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne.

However, the three Baylors of the same level as Huang Taiji had great power at the beginning, and the four of them presided over the government together. During this period, Amin and Mang Gurtai had a deep conflict with Huang Taiji, which led to the latter always trying to eradicate these two and unify the imperial power.

This time, he was ordered to guard the back road of the army, which was actually the big pit dug by Huang Taiji for Amin.

Because when Huang Taiji gave the order, he asked Amin to hold these cities, and at the very least, to keep Yongping City, which is closest to Xifengkou, so that he could put a nail in the Ming Dynasty and enter the mainland, and the next time the army entered the customs, it would be much easier.

However, this is funny: since the Houjin army has all left the customs, leaving Amin's subordinates and some suspicious surrenderers, how can they defend the city?

Although the Ming army said that the field battle was not good, but the army besieged the city, and fought this kind of slow city attack and defense battle, the Eight Banners would definitely have no chance of winning.

So Amin, who has always been unruly and domineering, didn't care about Huang Taiji's brain-dead order, and when Sun Chengzong led all the troops to attack at the same time, he swaggered and withdrew his troops out of the cold pass.

Then Amin went back and it was over - Huang Taiji took the opportunity to take advantage of this matter, and after the Council of Ministers of the King of Parliament, he smashed 16 major sins for Amin, including the crime of "discarding Yongping and killing the people" and "making the notoriety famous in the world".

This charge is quite reasonable. In 1630, the Houjin was actually very similar to the British in the early days of Yiya, although they were fighting with the Han people, they were still in a cautious and tentative state of mind.

Huang Taiji entered the customs this time, not only wrote letters to the Ming court many times, but also pretended to recruit more officials and people who sat in the city, a bit like the book in the early days of the invasion of China...... It's a pity that the Eight Banners didn't have candy in their pockets.

Therefore, Tu Yongpingcheng became a black cauldron on Amin's head, which eventually led to his death in captivity, exactly the same fate as his biological father.
