Chapter 20 [State Capital Crisis]
At the same time, the Holy Roman Emperor, Matthias, attempted to restore Catholicism in Bohemia (Czech) and appointed Ferdinand II as King of Bohemia, which led Ferdinand II to prohibit the religious activities of Protestants in Prague, demolish their churches, and declare those who attended Protestant meetings a mob.
On May 23, 1618, the 46th year of the Ming Dynasty, armed Bohemian troops stormed the palace and threw the Holy Roman Emperor's messenger from the window into the trench, which became known as the "Throwing Out the Window Incident", which became the beginning of the Thirty Years' War.
The following year, the Bohemian rebels attacked Bohemia and besieged the capital Vienna, which frightened the Bohemian king Ferdinand II and hurriedly appealed to the Catholic League for help.
On May 13, 1620, the imperial knight of the Holy Roman Empire, Tilly, led a Catholic League army of 24,000 men into Bohemia and successfully defeated the rebels.
It was not until the first year of Ming Taichang that on the 8th day of November 1620, Baron Franky: Mansfield, who commanded the Protestant Confederate army and the Imperial Knight: Tiri, led the Catholic Confederate army in Prague for a decisive battle, and the Protestant Allied army was soon defeated by the Mortar and Cannon of the Catholic League army, and then the Imperial Knight attacked the Palatinate.
In 1623, the Imperial Knights defeated the Protestant coalition again, making it a complete threat to the Protestant vassal states of the Holy Roman Empire, and finally in 1625, the Great Niya Kingdom launched an attack on the Holy Roman Emperor with the support of Franky and the Netherlands, and soon invaded the northwest of the Holy Roman Empire, and Baron Franky led the Dutch army to occupy western Bohemia.
In 1630, the king of Da Niya: Gustav Adolf II, with the support of Frankie, led his army to land at the mouth of the Oder River, and quickly captured a large territory in the north and central part of the Holy Roman Empire with Frankie's army.
On July 16, 1631, the two sides fought with the Imperial Knight Mercenaries (Battle of Verburn), the musketeers and axemen on both sides fought for several days, and the Imperial Knight mercenaries were defeated, and on September 17, the two sides concentrated their main forces (Battle of Breitenfield), and the Da Ni Runners and the Suyiqi Saxon coalition army relied on the new tactics created by Gustav to defeat the Imperial Knight mercenaries.
On April 13, 1632, the fifth year of Ming Chongzhen, King Su Yiqi: Gustav II, the Protestant alliance army defeated the remnants of the Imperial Knights again on the Rhine River and killed Tyrly, Su Yiqi's army then expelled Franky's army to occupy the Rhine region, the Holy Roman Emperor used the duke again: Albrecht Wallenstein, he learned Gustav's tactics to cut off the logistics supply line of Su Yiqi's army, stopped the offensive of Su Yiqi's army, and on November 20, the two armies fought a decisive battle in LΓΌtzen, Su Yiqi's army won a miraculous victory, but both sides suffered heavy losses, and Gustav II was killed, which caused Su Yiqi's army to stop expanding.
On September 14, 1634, the Catholic and Franky armies defeated Su Yiqi and the Protestant coalition forces in the Battle of Nadlingen, and the main force of Su Yiqi's army was completely lost, losing the two central territories of Saxony and Brandenburg.
As a result, in the eighth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, in 1635 AD, the Franky Kingdom directly sent troops to the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the Kingdom of Sicily, and Su Yiqi's army took the opportunity to send troops again to recover the lost territory.
Finally, on the 8th day of November 1642 in the fifteenth year of Ming Chongzhen, Su Yiqi's army defeated the army of the Holy Roman Emperor again in Breitenfeld, and Da Niya declared war on Su Yiqi .......
Before I knew it, the Chinese fleet had passed Kaifeng Mansion, and the Ming soldiers pointed to the shore and shouted, "Hurry, look!" Let's go ashore and walk 20 miles to arrive at the Yanzhou Mansion of the Chengxuan Political Department in Shandong. β
Wu Junzhen walked into the cabin and saw that the two of them were chatting, so he said, "Brother Ma, what are you talking about with Mr. Long?" Seeing this, Ma Wei and Long Huamin got up and saluted, and then the three of them walked out of the cabin and landed at the pier, and walked to the Kaocheng County Market in front of them to buy a few carriages.
Because it was too tired not to catch up with everyone, Ma Wei proposed to stay in the hotel and rest for one night, Long Huamin was not willing to delay the time, but he didn't want to refuse, so he had to agree, anyway, it was very close to Shandong Chengxuan's political secretary.
When a group of Jiannu ships passed through Baoan County, the Manchu Qing Dynasty Duoluo Rao Yu Beile selected 500 people to take the opportunity to land and sneak attack, and the Jiannu soldiers hooked it with flying claws, and a Ming soldier on patrol suddenly heard something? He asked, "Hey! Did you hear any voices from my brother? β
Another soldier on patrol said, "What can it be?" You must have heard it wrong! The water splash around is so big, it must be the sound of water, go, go, go to the bar! With that, he climbed on the soldier's shoulder and walked down the steps.
At this time, a vigorous Jiannu climbed the city wall and quickly waved (Pu Knife) to cut off the heads of two Ming soldiers, and waved his hand and whistled, and then five hundred Jiannu knife and axe hands climbed up, all of them with murderous faces and walked towards the bottom of the steps.
At this moment, the Ming army in the city has been drunk and slept, Jiannu knife and axe hand came over to cover the mouth of the Ming army, touched the neck with a knife, and disposed of the Ming army very cleanly, when the killing arrived at the gate of the county ya, a Jiannu soldier proposed, "Jurchen language: why don't you burn the county government and go back with supplies?" β
I saw that the Jiannu soldiers grabbed a bundle of firewood and surrounded the county yamen, threw torches and burned the county yamen and withdrew to the boat with supplies, and continued to hurry south to Wuguandian Lake, which is a large prototype river and is surrounded by water and grass.
For this reason, many Jiannu soldiers began to panic, the Manchu minister boarded the bow of the ship with a torch to observe the terrain, he bent down and picked a piece of aquatic grass and threw it in the water, the aquatic grass flowed down with the current, the Manchu minister commanded the fleet to move along the direction of the current, and then crossed the Wuguandian Lake into the Yudai River Basin.
The next day, the Mingshan Haiwei General Soldier also crossed the Dagu River Estuary Patrol Division by boat, landed on the shore and entered the Hejian Fu area by the official road, and the Ming Army led by the Ming Army Department Right Squire Lang went south from Tianjin Zuowei Wharf to Jinghai County, the two armies met near Qingxian County, and the Ming Army Department Right Squire hurriedly invited the Ming Shan Haiwei General Soldier into the barracks to discuss countermeasures.
The general soldier of Mingshan Haiwei pointed to the map and said, "Lord Lang, the right attendant of the military department, please see, the vicinity of our army is the Grand Canal area, and there are very few surrounding states and counties, and there are not many people, I will guess that Jiannu should not invade here, on the contrary, if Jiannu goes south to Hejian Mansion, then the capital of Hejian Mansion (Shenyang Zhongtunwei, Datong Zhongtunwei) These two places have a lot of grain and grass materials, presumably Jiannu will attack here?" β
Several Ming generals next to him heard that there was some reason, so they immediately set off to go here, and sure enough, when the Jiannu army passed through Renqiu County, they began to set up artillery to bombard the Ming army on the dock on the shore, Ming Renqiu County: Zhao Zhiyan, hurriedly led the army to block it, but was killed by Jiannu artillery fire when he arrived at the dock.
Then a large number of Jiannu came to the border of the capital of Hejian Province, in order to successfully take this place, the Manchu Duoluo Rao Yu Beile let the four banners of Jiannu cavalry land on the shore and prepare to go, respectively, under the Shenyang Zhongtun Acropolis, 20,000 cavalry, 100 artillery men and Karaqin cavalry were commanded by the Manchu Duoluo Rao Yu Beile, and 20,000 cavalry and 100 artillery men were arranged under the Datong Zhongtun Acropolis under the command of the Manchu ministers.
After the arrangement, the Jiannu gunners began to load the cannons, and the Manchu Qing Military Academy: Li Jia Hunda Chan adjusted the muzzle of the cannon and ordered, "Jurchen language: open the cannon." β
Suddenly, a burst of cannonballs exploded to the city tower, and the commander of the Ming Shenyang Zhongtun Guard who defended the city: Long Dabao, was lowering his head and braving the artillery fire to direct the battle on the city, and a row of Ming military gunners quickly loaded ammunition and fired at the city, and the battle was very fierce! Suddenly, a soldier climbed the castle tower and reported, "Lord Commander of the Qiqi Guard, Lord Hejian and his family are evacuating to the back city!" β
Knowing that this greedy villain was going to withdraw, the commander of the Ming Shenyang Zhongtun Guard was furious and immediately asked the soldiers to lead the way, just when he got up, a cannonball happened to fall beside him, and the explosion (boom) The huge sound killed the Ming Shen Shen Zhongtun Guard Commander, and he held the soldier's hand and said, "First, we must defend the city..." β
Die before you can finish speaking! The soldiers wept since they saw the commander, and the Jiannu soldiers took advantage of the weak artillery fire of the Ming army to climb the city, and even the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Beile personally dismounted and ran over to the top of the ladder, holding bows and arrows to shoot the defending Ming army to break through the city! The Jiannu soldiers brutally killed all the Ming soldiers defending the city.
After opening the city gate, the Jiannu soldiers rushed into the government to carry the materials as soon as possible, and the Manchu Dora Rao Yu Beile rode on horseback and walked on the street, seeing the people fleeing in all directions, the Jiannu soldiers grabbed the man and couldn't help but say that he was directly hacked to death.
Seeing the woman's slight appearance, they used nails to fix them on the wooden planks and insulted them wantonly, and only a few people fled from the back city.
After the government materials were transported, the Manchu Dynasty Duoluo Rao Yu Beile took the blue and blue banner troops to the south of Datong Zhongtun to guard the back city, and ordered the soldiers to surround the back city gate, so that the people who had not escaped had to return to the city.
The murderous Manchu Dora Rao Yu Beile asked the Jiannu soldiers not to release arrows, and then ordered, "Jurchen language: How can we treat the people of the Ming Dynasty like this!" After hearing this, the Jiannu soldiers withdrew their arrows, drew their sabers and rushed to the city gate drawbridge.
