Chapter 325: The nemesis of the Eight Banners, the fierce enemy of the Qing Dynasty

On the turquoise sea, a large fleet of ships slowly sailed into the port of Jinmen. With Zheng Hongkui leading the soldiers and horses to land at Jinmen, all of Zheng Zhilong's plans have been leaked.

He just took advantage of his own sailors to attack the enemy and save him, diverted part of the Manchu army, and then used the waterway for the second time to quickly transport Zheng Hongkui's army back to Guannei, thus forming a large time difference, and then clenched his fists and punched the heart of the Manchu Qing fiercely.

Whether this punch can blow Manqing's heart or not, he doesn't know in his own heart. But what is certain is that after this battle, the arrogance of the Manchu Qing will be greatly defeated!

Of course, the best result is that after hearing that Shanhaiguan is lost, Dolgon immediately led the Eight Banners to flee back to the lair outside the customs in panic, but unfortunately this hope is too slim, and now it is completely disappointed.

In Jinmen City, Zeng Ying looked at the high-spirited Zheng Hongkui, what else could he say?

Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty went on a northern expedition, returned in defeat, and lost the city and land, which was simply a loss of face for the ancestors.

When Emperor Yongle returned to the dynasty in the second Northern Expedition of Mongolia, he once said: The respect of our dynasty is beyond the ancient times, and it controls the Western Zhuyi of the North and the West of the South Island, and there is no harmony between the Han Dynasty, no alliance with the Tang Dynasty, no Song Dynasty's thin coins, and no gifts of brothers and enemies.

According to this sentence, later generations of netizens gave birth to what many people know, my Ming Dynasty will never be in harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.

But the spearhead mainly refers to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the century-old history of humiliation in China, and that page is really too heavy.

Emperor Chongzhen ran south before, and then cut the land to talk about peace, so, how will future generations in this time and space evaluate him, Zheng Zhilong can't guess, but he can definitely say that the tragic color on this person has disappeared.

In fact, if China after Zhu Ming was still a Han dynasty, the 'pathos' on Emperor Chongzhen would definitely not be as strong as in the original time and space.

It is precisely because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a Tatar dynasty and precisely because of the decadent and conservative rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that China has a history of humiliation over the past 100 years, that China has to face many difficulties and difficulties even after the founding of New China, and even if it has become the world's second largest economy in the new century, it still has to 'repay' its previous debts......

Netizens hate the Manchu Qing Dynasty, deplore Emperor Chongzhen, and love the Ming Dynasty!

It's a very simple and straightforward logic.

But in the current time and space, because of Zheng Zhilong's crossing, Emperor Chongzhen really lost the "beauty" on his body!

Skipping this topic, it is that Dolgon, Bumu Butai and other high-level Manchu Qing officials in Yanjing City heard the news that a large number of Zheng troops were pulling out from Jinmen again, and their hearts were cold.

Now what else do they not understand?

The Zheng Jun who was opened in the follow-up must be Zheng Hongkui's department who is a mess outside the gate.

Before sending Azig to reinforce Guanwai, Dolgon and them actually thought of this, but there was no way, the Zheng army was ravaging Guanwai, and the enemy would be saved. The Manchus had to say something.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were transferred back to the capital, and then some of the Eight Banners under Duoduo were transferred back, and the troops were gathered as much as possible to resist the attack of the Zheng army on the capital, and the Manchu Qing responded in this way This was also expected by Zheng Zhilong.

They are very clear about each other's opponents' capital, both sides are 'giants' with huge 'potential', but they met unexpectedly early when they were far from growing to the peak, and then one side launched a desperate fight to the death, which has to be said to be a tragedy for both sides.

The Manchus felt powerless the most.

In the past, they fought the Ming army's Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, as well as shield carts and bows and arrows, but when facing the Zheng army, it became a death move, which made the Manchu Qing Dynasty's strength greatly reduced At the same time, the morale was also weak and weak.

One of the truest manifestations is that in the past, the 10,000 Eight Banners on the battlefield had a sense of self-confidence that they could devour the 10,000 Zheng Army, but now, when the 10,000 Eight Banners faced the 10,000 Zheng Army, they didn't even dare to really fight a dozen.

If there are not enough cannons and muskets, how can the Eight Banners fight?

People don't fight with you in hand-to-hand combat at all, guns and cannons are fired at a distance, and small artillery grenades are close, and people have not rushed to the front of them, and they have fallen countless first. There is no way to fight this battle!

And when the Tartars found out that they were not Zheng Jun's opponent in the flat field battle, their already tense forces suddenly became even more nervous.

There are few people in the first place.

As mentioned earlier, there are only more than 300 cattle in the Tartars, and there are less than 100,000 people in the full house. In fact, 300 Ding is a Niu Lu, and 200 Ding is also a Niu Lu. Three hundred real Tatar cattle records, not to mention 100,000 people, Huang Taiji can have 60,000 or 70,000 thanks.

After Zheng Zhilong was born, he kept making trouble for the Tartars, whether it was harassing the Tartars outside the border by taking advantage of the situation, or fighting again and again, no less than 20,000 Tartars (including Zhang Qiuzhen) who died under him over the years.

Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been crusading against the Jurchens and constantly collecting them for their own use, plus the Tartars' own hematopoiesis, is there 60,000 Manchurian Eight Banners after entering the customs?

I remember the information he read in his previous life, saying that in the fifth year of Shunzhi, the Eight Banners compiled and reviewed the male register, and there were more than 55,000 men in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. In the late Shunzhi period, because of the successive battles with Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo, there were less than 50,000 adult Tartar males. Then the men when the Tartars entered the customs were probably in their early 60,000s.

At the moment, the main force of the two red flags is left in the nest outside the pass, and the Manchurian army flag and the eight banners of Menghan are added, and the number of troops entering the pass is roughly 100,000. It's not Wu Sangui's dog head that's wrong, the Guan Ning army under his command worked very hard when they beat Li Zicheng, before there were not so many surrendered troops and recruits were organized by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and taken into use by the Manchus, how could Dolgon beat Li Zicheng so miserably?

Although the Manchus were most willing to fight an army with a low degree of firearms, Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses were in line with this situation.

But now, as Azig led the vest soldiers of the Eight Banners back to aid Guanwai, Duoduo also led 20,000 Eight Banners to sit in Heluo and Jinxi, and after Li Zicheng went south, he had to pass through Guanzhong.

The number of Eight Banner Infantry Armor who returned from Hanzhong was actually not too many. After all, Azig first brought back 20,000 Eight Banner horse armor soldiers from Guanzhong, and now the infantry armor that has returned to help is at most 30,000 people, including some newly formed Mongolian Eight Banners.

The eight families of the Jin merchants, represented by the Fan family, have been waving money and grain to recruit herdsmen who can't survive from the grassland for the past two years, and then they have been continuously filled into the Mengba Banner. With the Eight Banners stationed in the capital like this, plus the remnants of the soldiers in Haoge's hands, and the troops sent back by Duoduo, the Eight Banners Tartar soldiers in Yanjing are only about 50,000, right?

Coupled with the Green Banner soldiers led by Zu Kefa, Xu Dingguo, Liu Zeqing, etc., before the Cangzhou War, there must have been more than 100,000 people in the hands of the Tartars. But after the defeat of Cangzhou, it is difficult to say how many soldiers the Tartars can have in their hands.

But no matter what, if it was only for the 30,000 or 20,000 people at the beginning of Zheng Zhilong, Dolgon would not be afraid in his heart. He even thought about winning another big battle of 'Jedi Counterattack'. After all, the Manchu Qing's numerical superiority was real.

But now that Zheng Hongkui is also here, Zheng Zhilong's number of people on hand has doubled, and he has jumped 50,000. The advantage of three to one has become two to one and it is not enough, which is really a bit big.

No one knows if Azig and they have already discovered Zheng Hongkui's movements, even if they find out that something is wrong, they quickly go to Yanjing to help.

The time is in the middle of summer, and the river outside the Guanxi is soaring, which will also have a great impact on the Ma army that has returned to help.

Therefore, Dolgon and the others first left the soldiers and horses outside the gate behind. Just look at the current strength in hand, to deal with Zheng Zhilong, many people are really bottomless in their hearts.

"When the matter comes, the war in Tongzhou is about to break out, is there any reason to make changes?" Hauge wasn't happy to change it.

What to change?

He was ready in Tongzhou, and this change was all in vain.

What's more, what can be changed?

Is there anyone who guards Yanjing who doesn't guard Tongzhou? That's the east gate of Yanjing. Whether it is an official road or a canal, they all pass through Tongzhou, and there is no reason not to abide by it. And to defend Tongzhou, he Haoge's current layout in Tongzhou is the safest.

Defending Tongzhou blocked Zheng Jun's way to Yanjing, which forced Zheng Zhilong to divide the army. Although the latter has a lot of people, even if the soldiers are divided into two ways, they cannot be underestimated. But this is still the best way to reduce Zheng Zhilong's threat to Yanjing, isn't it?

It is more likely that Zheng Zhilong can't take Tongzhou, and he won't even go to Yanjing City.

Dorgon rubbed his bulging head, he had a headache.

Although he had already regarded Zheng Zhilong as a fierce rival before entering the customs, he never thought that he would grow into what he is now.

The 50,000 mobile soldiers and horses, together with the soldiers and horses of Juehua Island, Shanhaiguan, Jinmen and Denglai, have a total strength of 780,000. Coupled with the defenders of Quanzhou, the old nest of Zheng Jun, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Great Commander and Nanyang, this is really a 100,000 strong army.

This is not counting the sailors of the Zheng family......

This Zheng Zhilong's long-term threat to the Manchu Qing Dynasty is even higher than that of Li Zicheng and Daming.

What's even more terrifying is that the strength of the Zheng family will continue to develop, because people are not short of money.

Where there is money, there are guns, and where there is money, there are soldiers......

Zheng Zhilong has pulled out 100,000 strong teams in just a few years, and it will take another three or two years, will 100,000 become 200,000? How should the Qing Dynasty deal with it at that time?

The soldiers of the Eight Banners can't double in a short period of time.

All Haoge was thinking about the battle of Tongzhou in front of him, even if it was Yanjing City, he didn't think about it, because it was not his responsibility.

But Dolgon is not only thinking about Yanjing City, not only about the current battle, but also about the long-term affairs in three or five years.

The strength of the Zheng family is constantly growing, although the strength of the Manchu Qing is also growing, but the Manchu high-level should pay attention to the strength comparison between the Eight Banners and the Han army, and the strength of the Green Banner soldiers is better than the Eight Banners.

That gun is very restrained and brave, no matter how powerful Baturu is, a worthless bullet will take a small life. But it would take twenty or thirty years to give birth to such a Baturu, who was proficient in riding and archery, knives and bows.

If a large number of guns and cannons were given to the Green Banner soldiers, wouldn't that make the Nikans turn against the guests?

But if the Eight Banners warriors come to play with guns, they have to face a very serious practical problem - the number of Eight Banners warriors is not enough. Fighting with guns and cannons, I am afraid that after a few major battles, the Eight Banners will be empty.

So he's torn between a rock and a hard place.

It is impossible for Dolgon to let the strength of the Green Banner soldiers easily beat the Eight Banners, so that the Han people will in turn press on the heads of the banner people, then he can only suppress the strength of the Green Banner soldiers. This suppresses the strength of the Green Flag soldiers, that is, it suppresses the strength of the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Manchus now had the support of the northern gentry, the Green Banner soldiers were destined to be an important part of the Manchu military power.

Besides, if this is kept pressing, the strength of the Qing Dynasty can't keep up with the growth rate of the Zheng family's strength, and the Zheng family can't be defeated in the future, so isn't it the Eight Banners that are not good in the end?

"Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong......"

Dolgon shouted like a madman, Zheng Zhilong's biggest disadvantage was not how many Eight Banners warriors he had killed, but that he had found a weapon that could effectively restrain the Eight Banners warriors - reliable guns and powder.

The Eight Banners athletes were defeated by Zheng Jun's guns again and again, which made the Eight Banners lose face, and they were ashamed to mention it.

Zheng Zhilong proved that it could indeed work with one victory after another, and convinced the whole world that it really worked.

Dolgon couldn't think of a way to change this disadvantage, he couldn't think of a way to reverse this voice, he couldn't even think of a way to curb the development of the Zheng family.

How come there are guns in this world, if there are no guns, or swords, guns and armor to speak, the Qing Dynasty is now afraid that it has swept the north and drank the Yangtze River like the ancestors of the White Mountain and Black Water......

Zheng's Group, Zheng Zhilong, that is the real Qing Dynasty rival!
