Chapter 326: The Tree Falls and Scatters
Yijing (Yanjing), Erwei (Jinmen), and Santongzhou, can have such a statement, and the importance of Tongzhou City is needless to say.
Tens of thousands of Zheng troops were killed outside the city of Tongzhou, "our army is victorious, and ...... is victorious"
"Chitose King Qi, Chitose King Qi ......"
Zheng Zhilong obviously hasn't received the will of the king yet, and the high-level generals are still called Guogong, but Zheng Jun's soldiers called it that first.
As for who started first, I don't know.
It seems that the fight began after the soldiers and horses arrived at Jinmen, can you do this?
So, let it be.
The shouts of tens of thousands of people could be heard by the Qing soldiers inside and outside Tongzhou City. The army has been killing all the way to Yanjing, and now that everyone has arrived in Tongzhou, isn't the morale of the Zheng army in full swing?
No one would think that they were the second Ming Northern Expeditionary Army, that is, the gentry in Jinling City who were eager for Zheng Zhilong to die immediately, and they could only say good things about Zheng Jun in their faces, saying that they hoped that Zheng Jun could drive out the Tartars and recover Shenjing.
Because it is the great righteousness. The righteousness that can be suppressed by any ghostly spirit.
They cursed Zheng Zhilong's defeat and cursed the Zheng army to be annihilated, so they could only come secretly and carry people behind their backs.
Zheng Jun's morale was high, and they all looked forward to entering Yanjing City.
Just put aside the official business, and talk about the private matter first
Think about how many good things they robbed when the Tartars swept through most of the Central Plains. So many Tartars have settled in Yanjing, each family is a big fat sheep, if the army can take Yanjing City, Zheng Zhilong eats meat and they drink soup, everyone is delicious.
Therefore, when Zheng Zhilong issued the military order to start fighting, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted.
A fast horse galloped into Zhangjiawan, and turned over and dismounted in front of Aixin Jueluo Nikan. Loudly reported: "Lord Belle, Zheng Thief's horse team is here!" ”
Nikan was Dorobelle, who had only recently been promoted, and his path was far less smooth in the current plane than it had been in the original plane. You must know that in the original plane, he should be Prince Jing by now. But at the moment, in this time and space, he was not able to drink the Yangtze River, conquer Jinling, capture Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, nor did he follow the merits of the battle of Haoge Pingchuan and Shaanxi, so he is still a Dorobelle.
"Tell Liu Liangchen and tell him to immediately lead the horse army to join outside the city."
Zhangjiawan is a point that Tongzhou water transport can not bypass, located in the southeast of Tongzhou five miles, Haoge naturally will not give up this place to Zheng Jun in vain, arrange heavy troops, and turn it into an important support point for the Tongzhou war situation.
Belenikan, who was sitting here, led two thousand Eight Banner soldiers under his command, and gathered with Liu Liangchen, an old traitor, the general army of Tongzhou of the Tartars, and a total of 10,000 Manchu and Han soldiers.
Around the small city of Zhangjiawan, Nikan built a number of trenches according to Hauge's arrangement, and all the soil and sand raised were built into chest walls, dozens of large and small artillery pieces were arranged, and there were as many as two or three thousand musketeers.
It can be said that this is a shrunken version of Tongzhou City.
Liu Liangchen did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and led his three or four hundred horse troops to Nikan to listen to the order.
According to the report of the Tartar probing horses, there were very few cavalry in front of the Zheng army, so Nikan wanted to see it for himself.
It's just that Nikan's men don't have any vests at all, and most of the 18 banners of horsemen around him are infantry armor, and the rest are his Goshha.
"Let's go ahead and have a look!"
Without giving Liu Liangchen a chance to speak, Nikan whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse swooped out with a neighing sound.
"Father?" Liu Zehong glanced at his father. When Liu Zeqing's army was defeated, he simply led five or six hundred soldiers to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because of his father, Liu Zehong did not punish him at all, but became a general of the Tartars.
For a while, Liu Zehong dreamed with a smile on his face. I thought it was time for me to surrender.
The Qing Dynasty iron cavalry was invincible, and the British prince Azig only brought 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners to sweep through the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, drinking horses and horses on the Yangtze River, and killing the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty fled. With such a dynasty, how can there be a day when it will truly regain the lost territory and restore Shenjing?
Jokes.
In other words, the Qing Dynasty will at least be the lord of the northern land in the future, at least the second in the Dajin Kingdom, with a hundred years of national fortune.
And if you want to say it bigger, maybe it's just like Meng Yuan, it will sweep the north and the south and unify the world in the blink of an eye.
That is to say, he Liu Zehong not only saved his life, but also enjoyed glory and wealth in peace.
His surrender was really the right one.
Liu Zehong had thought of this more than once.
But who would have thought that the situation would change so violently and so quickly?
Da Qing only stepped on Da Ming and cut off a piece of fat, Zheng Zhilong came out halfway and gave Da Qing a heavy slap with his backhand.
This is absolutely violent, Liu Zehong looked at it, and his heart was furious.
The Battle of Yanzhou Azig was defeated too brittlely, it was the pillar force of the Eight Banners, so that a shameless person like Liu Zehong had to mumble in his heart.
The momentum of the Great Qing Kingdom has just started, and it has been wiped out by Zheng Zhilong's slap. The main ace force, the invincible Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, still knelt so simply, does this Daqing have a destiny?
In the future, this North and South Dynasties will still be the North and South Dynasties. However, the owner of this Northern Dynasty is not necessarily the Qing Dynasty, but may also be the Zheng family.
As the news of that battle reached his ears more and more, Liu Zehong looked down on Manqing by three points in his heart.
The Zheng family is also ready to take over the world, and they have to start in Qilu, the main force of the Tartars can't kill Zheng Jun with more or less, can they really get good in the future?
Thinking of the Zheng family he knew, no matter how he looked at it, this big green fruit was going to suffer.
However, this is just a seed, and for it to take root and thrive, it needs sunlight, water, and fertilizer.
And Zheng Zhilong led the army to Jinmen non-stop, and then attacked Yanjing, Zheng Hongkui led troops to land in Jinmen, so that his strength increased greatly, and 50,000 Zheng troops rushed violently, this is the sunshine he needs, this is the water and fertilizer he needs.
They came unexpectedly quickly, and in just a few months, the seed in Liu Zehong's heart grew into a big tree.
Liu Zehong naturally thought of his father. Liu Liangchen has been in Tartar for more than ten years, and he has married several wives and concubines, but he has not left a single seed. Not to mention the handle, even the one without the handle. As soon as I met Liu Zehong, I really wanted to tie my son to the waistband of my trousers, and I was reluctant to let go of the thatched house.
I got drunk and hugged my son and cried a few times, and then said that Liu Liangzuo was good, and people were doing it authentically. didn't treat the eldest nephew badly at all. Promote your nephew to a general, even if you are your own son, that's it.
So suddenly hearing Liu Zehong's words, although Liu Liangchen was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't have the heart to kill his relatives in the middle of righteousness.
On the contrary, as Zheng Zhilong's army approached Tongzhou one day at a time, Liu Liangchen also made up his mind.
"If there is only the Ming and Qing dynasties in the world, the Qing Dynasty must be chosen for the father, but there is one more Zheng Zhilong in this world." Liu Liangchen thought about what he heard and saw, and thought of the losses that the Qing Dynasty had eaten in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, "The Zheng clan relied on sharp guns, but it abolished the bravery that the Eight Banners were most proud of. No matter how good this skill is, it can be knocked down with one shot. ”
Those white-armored soldiers in the Eight Banners are really strong soldiers sharpened in life and death, wearing heavy armor, and it is a piece of cake to be ten of them.
But it's just as vulnerable to guns, you just need to pull the trigger lightly, and a worthless buckshot can kill a warrior.
"Who in the world today doesn't know how to deal with the Eight Banners? As long as there are enough guns, as long as they do not cut corners when casting guns, do not cut corners when making powder, and are stricter in military and soldier drills, and can not shoot indiscriminately and blindly, these Eight Banners will not be afraid. ”
Liu Liangchen's words were full of emotion, he didn't know how ridiculous his opinion was, but he thought so, and he was convinced.
The defeat of the Manchu Eight Banners at the hands of Zheng Zhilong again and again is all evidence to consolidate this thesis.
As mentioned earlier, Zheng Zhilong's biggest blow to the Manchu Qing was not how many Eight Banners warriors he killed on the battlefield, but that people could see clearly how to defeat the Eight Banners and how to defeat the Eight Banners.
Liu Liangchen is far more than the only one who thinks like this in this world.
"Whether it's Zheng Zhilong or Da Ming, there is no shortage of money, food, and firearms, as long as you work hard, don't look at the miserable defeat of the Ming army, but it won't take them two years to pull out an army of skillfully trained firearms. In this way, there is a better chance than the Qing Dynasty to reorganize the rivers and mountains. ”
Liu Liangchen spoke, and Liu Zehong couldn't stop nodding. Ginger is still old and spicy, and Daddy is really insightful.
Compared with Liu Zehong, he just thinks that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not good, and he thinks that after Zheng Zhilong wants to start in Qilu, it will be difficult for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to do anything again, and even worry about life and death in the future, but Daming is very stable now. In addition, the Manchu Qing frequently used the Han army as cannon fodder, and did not take the Han soldiers for granted at all. This made Liu Zehong subconsciously unwilling to serve the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Liu Liangchen's view is more insightful and long-term. At the same time, it is even more hateful.
Because the reason why Liu Liangchen was willing to rebel against the Manchu Qing Dynasty was entirely from the perspective of pros and cons, rather than national righteousness.
No matter how bright the vision and skills of this kind of person are, it is harmful and useless.
Their father and son, that's really a father and son.
……
Outside Zhangjiawan City.
Nikan glanced at the sun in the sky, "Let's go east along the canal." Wait and be careful. Zheng Thief's morale is high, although his army is small, but its combat power is not weak, don't suffer a loss! ”
Liu Liangchen immediately followed the order, and his three or four hundred horse troops spread out in all directions, firmly surrounding Nikan and his party in the center.
The food of the Qing army in the past few days is very good, take this meal at noon, meat and bone soup + white flour cake + fat slices, big palms, one finger thick meat slices, two slices per person, enough steamed buns.
At this critical juncture, Tatar is still very generous, and his two meals a day have been changed to three meals a day, and he is learning Zheng Jun.
However, few of Liu Liangchen's subordinates showed smiling faces, and even some people couldn't help but have a sad face and a sad face. The midday slices of meat are delicious, but this may be their last meal.
Liu Liangchen gave a look to several officers, all of whom were his henchmen. I had come to him with a sad face to ask for a good solution.
They are an important support point for the Tongzhou battlefield here, and it must also be the focus of Zheng's attack. As far as the Tartars don't treat the Han soldiers as human beings, after this battle, the green flag of Tongzhou Town really doesn't know how many people will survive.
However, Zheng Jun not only showed no mercy to the Tartars, but also hated the two Tartars. They just want to surrender, but the legendary "labor reform" doesn't seem to be able to bypass them.
"Zongzhen, this fight is not a fight, nor is it a fall, the brothers are really desperate. Zheng Jun is about to be killed, you send a word, and show the brothers the way, what are we going to do? ”
"What to do? Since he is loyal to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty. "Liu Liangchen still had a loyal minister at the beginning." Hugh will be distracted. Eat a few meals and have a fight with Lord Belle! ”
"Boss, brothers really don't deceive you, are you really loyal to the Tartars? Zheng Zhilong has hit Tongzhou. ”
"Zongzhen, Zheng Zhilong on the opposite side settled in Jinmen, they can't do it once, and they can fight it a second time in the next year." As long as the Zheng family sent troops outside the customs, could the Manchus turn a blind eye?
As long as the Manchu Qing Dynasty sent troops to rescue the Guanwai, people could immediately land in Jinmen by boat, which is an unsolvable trap!
Liu Liangchen looked at the anxious green battalion generals around him, his expression didn't look like he was cheating, and he thought in his heart, these people were afraid that they really had two hearts for the Manchu Qing. He smiled and said, "Since you all don't want to die for the Qing Dynasty, why don't you eat more, and when you meet Zheng Jun later, you can run south?" ”
The tone is like a joke. But a few Green Flag officers didn't think that Liu Liangchen was joking.
"Flee south?"
"First, you are unwilling to die for the Qing Dynasty, and second, you dare not surrender to the Zheng army, so do you have any other way than to go south to the Ming Dynasty? Aren't you going to take refuge in the rogue? ”
Liu Liangchen's words were clearly talking about the generals in front of him, but he was actually talking about himself. He just wasn't optimistic about the future of the Manchus, he didn't want to serve the Manchus, and he didn't dare to serve the Zheng family, so he could only contact the eldest brother in the south and Zhu Ming's Jinyiwei.
It's really fortunate that his eldest brother is still in Nanming, and he is still the chief military officer of the party holding the military power.
