Chapter 378: Attack on all fronts on the 2nd day of the New Year Red Envelope
The camp of the Qing army on the other side of the Sancha River. According to the agreement between the two sides, Dolgon ordered the soldiers and horses to retreat 20 miles and re-encamp in the village.
However, there are more of their forts in this area, of course, they have not been removed, because this is originally their defensive stronghold, and these strongholds have existed as early as after the first battle of Ningjin, just like the guards set up by the Ming Dynasty in the fortresses of various towns, not the soldiers stationed in Xintun.
The appearance of the military guard in the Qing Dynasty was a groundbreaking bloody affair for them. Because these people on horseback pay attention to coming and going like the wind, they live in tents, eat cattle and sheep, drink mare's milk, and live a life of licking blood with knives, it is not realistic to say that they have no fixed residence, but they live in Tucheng at most.
They were unfamiliar with the fortress fortifications of the Ming Dynasty, which were high and deep, and even ridiculed them for a time.
But now that the Qing Dynasty has been established for so many years, those big traitors are not all eating white food, and they are also thinking about how to be their servants and be loyal to their new masters.
Therefore, the current Qing army has been sinicized a lot, because Ning Wan I, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Kong Youde, etc., these big traitors gave advice to the high-level of these Manchu Tartars, and those essences of the Ming Dynasty now let them learn most of them, and they learn the Ming system in all aspects and imitate the Han people.
Politically using the Ming Dynasty's code system, the biggest change is their military changes, because they have repeatedly suffered defeats, first the Ming Dynasty's Hongyi cannon made them suffer, Kong Youde and other Shandong three miners surrendered, so that they learned to cast cannons, Lin Yi's crossing, let them doubt again and again that the Manchu Eight Banners are invincible myth.
Now they also follow the example of the Ming army, and militarily they have also begun to forge firearms, build city defenses, and defend against danger.
There have also been great changes in the economy, living with the Han people to grow crops, developing production, improving the people's livelihood, and implementing some policies of preferential treatment and appeasement to the people, so as to win the hearts of the people, reconcile ethnic and class contradictions as much as possible, and maintain their rule.
Under the influence of the Han people (traitors), even the clothing and living habits have changed, the biggest change is their hairstyle, now the hairstyle of the Qing Dynasty is no longer a money rattail braid, maybe they think it is also ugly, it is the kind of Han hairstyle chic.
But they didn't dare to change all at once, and gradually expanded the area on their heads, basically all bald became semi-bald, and it was no longer a money rat tail, but the braids became longer and thicker, just like the braids of Chinese women.
Now the reason why they are keen to learn from the Ming Dynasty and the Han people is that they realize that they were barbaric and backward in the past, and they could not unify the world by riding horses and archery alone, and they would be beaten if they were backward, and only by learning from the advanced could they become stronger.
The current Empress Dowager Dolgon and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang learned these essences from their ancestors, because Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were both pioneers and exemplary figures in learning from the Han people, and set a model for Dolgon and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.
Therefore, these traitors, such as Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, etc., are becoming more and more popular in the Qing Dynasty.
Especially this time, the defeat of Dolgon Shanhaiguan, the defeat of the imperial aunt, and the defeat of Hong Chengchou in the battle of Ningjin were again defeated, and Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang have felt a major pressure, which is unprecedented.
This kind of pressure is the pressure of the extinction of the country and the extinction of the species, and the pressure of not finishing the eggs under the nest!
Fortunately, although Hong Chengchou was defeated this time and lost the Ningjin defense line, it created an opportunity for them to negotiate peace.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon must grasp this hard-won opportunity and make good use of this peace talks to make a big fuss, and success or failure lies in this move!
If they can no longer achieve a strategic victory in this peace talks, then they can only really bow their heads to the Ming Dynasty, and it is likely that they will move the capital, or even cancel the name of the Qing Dynasty, and then they will return to the pre-liberation period at once.
Because decades ago, they were originally the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to allow them to come to a country within a country, which is different from the dynasty, especially after the rise of the Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, especially the Ming Dynasty Lin Yi, can be merciful to them?
Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang knew this, so they had this Ming plank road and dark Chen Cang!
According to the agreement between him and Da Ming in advance, after sending Hong Chengchou's negotiation team of more than 100 people left, Dolgon began to dispatch troops.
Now he is a veritable regent again, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang retreated into the background and became a second-tier figure, returning to Beijing to sit in the Qing Dynasty in the name of recuperation.
Dolgon is now in power, and he has become the commander-in-chief of the former enemy in the front line.
In just a few days, the Qing army on the banks of the Sancha River gathered 80,000 people, including tens of thousands of Beijing battalion soldiers who guarded the Beijing division, and he also brought in most of them, including the Han Eight Banners and the army of the dynasty to help in the war.
Among the Eight Banners of the Han people, what he valued the most was his heavy army named Wu Wuzhen Chaoha, which was the artillery they relied on, equipped with hundreds of red-coated cannons, and now the supreme commander of this unit was the famous traitor Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi.
These two people are as famous as Kong Youde and synthesize the Sanshun King of the Qing Dynasty. They were all Mao Wenlong's subordinates, and later they took refuge in the Qing Dynasty and brought a large number of red-coated cannons, and then they imitated successfully and began to imitate the Hongyi cannons.
In the Battle of Salhu, the artillery of the Houjin army began to show its might, and the Ming Dynasty was completely defeated, which contributed to the rise of the Qing Dynasty. Since then, Kong Youde has become the king of Gongshun in the Qing Dynasty, Geng Zhongming has become the king of Huaishun, and Shang Kexi has become the king of Zhishun.
However, these three kings were mainly under the leadership of Kong Youde, and then they attacked the dynasty until the capital of the dynasty, and the king of the dynasty, Li Liang, was forced to bow to the Qing Dynasty.
Phi Island is the smallest, but it is of great strategic significance, this is the rear of the Ming Dynasty to contain the Qing Dynasty, after this nail is pulled out, the Qing Dynasty has no worries. In history, they captured the Ningjin defense line, and then the battle of Shanhaiguan, Dolgon strategized and surrendered Wu Sangui, an iron-blooded thug, and hundreds of thousands of iron hooves won the Central Plains, opening the Qing Dynasty's campaign to unify the world, and more than 200 years of Jiangshan Sheji kicked off.
This shows how much this traitor team contributed to the Qing Dynasty.
But now because of Lin Yi's crossing, Dolgon, the pride of the sky, is a little suspicious of life.
Now in order to deal with Lin Yi, I have to transfer this heavily armed ace army. However, now there are only two kings left in Sanshun King, because Kong Youde, the king of Gongshun, was chopped by Lin Yi in the battle of Huanggutun.
However, the remnants of Gong Shun Wang Kong Youde are still there. There is also Wu Sangui Although he is dead, but his remnants are also there, such as the young little commander Ma Bao, who has also been reused by the Manchu Tartars, and Dolgon has now promoted him to Gushan Ezhen, in charge of a banner of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, nearly 10,000 horses, which means that these traitors are still one of the pillar forces of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the current Qing Dynasty has been hit hard, the country has been stormy, those founding heroes, iron-hat princes, princes, Baylor and hardcore traitors, old and old, dead and crippled.
But from the Later Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, it has now been more than half a century of history, and the vast grassland outside the fortress has been as long as forty or fifty years, and the savings left by the ancestors for him can be regarded as a great business, very rich, and now it has not been exhausted.
Now the generals under Dolgon who can conquer and are accustomed to war, in addition to Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou, there are also Sony, Bolo, Xihan, Sukh Hasa, Kubilong, Tulai, Mongolian prince Tieshu Wuhua, Mongolian general Subutai, in addition to the Han Eight Banners of the generals Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi, Zu Dashou, Ma Bao, etc., in addition to the high-level generals of the Korean army.
Just looking at the group of names on this, coupled with Dolgon's big strokes, you know that the strength of the Qing Dynasty still exists, and it is quite strong.
Dolgon is now largely healed from his injuries, and is able to straddle his horse and slash his sword, bend his bow and shoot arrows, and charge the battlefield. And now through Lin Yi's dead man for living plan, he has taken the power of the court from the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and now he is a veritable regent, the spokesperson of Xiao Shunzhi, the emperor of the No. 2 Qing Dynasty, and he is in power.
At present, the Qing Dynasty is still composed of three forces: Mongolia, Manchuria and Korea, and its strength should not be underestimated.
80,000 Qing troops were in full array, and Dolgon sent a horse to pay close attention to the movements of the Ming army camp on the other side, and the negotiations went on until the early morning of the fourth day, Dolgon suddenly received a report that there was a great chaos in the Ming camp, and they were chasing the assassins, and it was very likely that Su Moer had successfully assassinated him.
Dolgon was overjoyed, what he was waiting for was this moment, if Lin Yi died, it would be time for Dolgon to come out, and now the great dynasty is what he is most afraid of Lin Yi, just like Jin Wuxuan was afraid of Yue Fei back then, and it was like Sima Yi was afraid of Zhuge Liang.
Dolgon was beaten into a frightened bird by Lin Yi, so this time he pretended to be a grandson and asked Hong Chengchou to negotiate with Daming about the boycott of the two sides.
Now that the sky finally has eyes, Su Mo'er has disturbed Da Ming alone, this little girl is really good, she will win the world in the future, and she will definitely accept her as her queen if she has the opportunity......
As soon as he thought of Su Moer's flowery appearance and amazing martial arts, Dolgon couldn't hold back his wildness and pure desire, but in front of him, he had to raise troops and take advantage of the chaos in the Ming camp to fight the past, which was also to relieve the pressure on Su Moer and Hong Chengchou.
Therefore, in less than five watches, Dolgon sat neatly dressed and sat in the tent, and his civil and military generals stood in two compartments, each with bright armor and high spirits.
Dolgon cleared his throat and looked at the civil and military generals below, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Holy Blessing is full of blessings, and Lin Yi of the Great Ming Prison State has already died, hahaha......"
Dorgon laughed loudly as he said this, and there was a buzz in the big tent that shook him.
Some of the civil and military ministers know what's going on, and some don't understand the mystery, this statement has come out, one by one shocked and ear-to-ear, talking about it, and then all of them are happy, and the crowd is excited.
"Lin Yi was stabbed? Really? ”
"It must be true, the regent has said that there can be a fake?"
"Isn't the Ming Dynasty over?"
"Who says it's not, who else can be in charge of the current Ming Dynasty besides Lin Yi?"
"God has eyes, the Qing Dynasty is in charge!" ……
When Dolgon heard these discussions, he saw that the civil and military ministers below were all beaming with joy and thunderous joy, and they seemed to be even more strategic.
"Everyone, be quiet, this king now orders you to spare no effort to kill the Sancha River, annihilate the Ming army on the other side, and then cross the Great Wall and step on the Central Plains, and drink the Yangtze River!"
"Horses step on the Central Plains! Drink the Yangtze River! Horse on the Central Plains! Drink the Yangtze River! ”
Bolo, Sony, Xihan, Subutai, and Tieshu Wuhua are these generals, shouting in unison, wave after wave.
Dolgon was proud, pouted his mouth like eighty thousand, and waved his big hand, and the cheers below came to an abrupt end.
Then Dolgon ordered an army of 80,000 to attack on all fronts.
At the beginning of the fifth watch, the camp of the Qing army began to pull out the camp, cavalry, infantry, and artillery took action one after another, and when the day dawned, they had already walked out of 20 miles, that is, to the bank of the Sancha River. This was originally the place where they confronted the Ming army, and because the two sides agreed to retreat 20 miles from this peace negotiation, they are now back.
The Qing army's Wuzhen Chaoha ready-made artillery camp position, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, the two princes of the Qing army, commanded, they set up hundreds of red-coated cannons quickly, and then adjusted the valve adjustment amplitude and height to adjust the crosshair, loaded ammunition, and made the final preparations before launching.
More than 60,000 iron horsemen and foot soldiers of the Qing army here, the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion soldiers were also ready to cross the river, and countless large and small boats were sent to fill the riverbank.
The so-called Sancha River is three rivers that converge in this area to form a single river and then flow into the Bohai Sea.
The three rivers are not big, and they are not big when they converge into a river, and they do not have the momentum of the waves of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River at all, but now that it is the flood season, the water potential is relatively large, covering the entire riverbed, and it is also two or three hundred meters wide.
The ship is full of soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, this is the sailor of the Qing Dynasty, this is their main force, all Han people, all of them are subordinate to the King of Sanshun, and now they have become the command of the King of Liangshun.
Who did this team go with to the Dongjiang Governor Mao Wenlong to guard Phi Island, Mao Wenlong guarded Phi Island all the year round, his team was of course familiar with water warfare, after Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, it didn't take long for his subordinates to mutiny, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, who absconded in fear of crime, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another.
After this team surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, part of it became the artillery of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the heavy soldiers named Wuzhen Chaoha, and part of it became the naval division of the Qing Dynasty.
This time on the banks of the Sancha River, both of these new arms were used.
The Eight Banners of the Manchu Tartars and the Green Battalion soldiers, with cavalry and foot soldiers, boarded the ships one after another.
After everything was ready, that is, at about 8:00 on this day, Dolgon gave an order, and the heavy troops of Wuzhen Chaoha of the Qing Dynasty fired ten thousand cannons in unison, and one shell after another roared towards the Ming army position on the opposite bank, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the water column that rushed to the sky was accompanied by mud, one after another.
In the earth-shattering artillery fire, the Qing army's large and small warships were densely packed and counted, and hundreds or thousands of them were mobilized.
The Sancha River is not a big river, so many soldiers and warships seem to be overwhelmed for a while, and the river water has overflowed beyond the river trough, and the flood is overflowing......
The Qing army on the other side of the river had such a large-scale military operation, of course, the Ming army on this side had already known about it.
Just when Dolgon was tossing and turning, and the 80,000 Qing troops began to set up camp from 20 miles away from the other side of the river, the Ming army did not collect the night and had already passed the letter.
Here, Song Xiance has just finished catching Hong Chengchou, and the Qingming brigade has already arrived at the Sanchahe Office, Song Xiance heard it and sneered: "The Lord of the Prison Country is really like a god, the dead Tartar is good, order the artillery battalion to open fire, concentrate firepower to destroy their artillery camp position, and then the artillery battalion cooperates with the musket battalion to sink all the Manchu Tartar ships, and the standard battalion and the invincible battalion will wipe out the Qing army that was lucky enough to go ashore in one fell swoop!"
"No!" He Renlong, Hao Shaoqi, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, Wang Jian, Wang Qi, Dongsheng and other battalion generals gave salutes and received orders.
There are a few thorns in this, they were originally not satisfied with Song Xiance, like what He Renlongwang Jian, etc., they and Song Xiance were not all the way, one was a thief, the other was an officer and soldier, they were mortal enemies.
But now that Song Xiance is giving orders, no one dares to let out a flat fart, because Lin Yi has temporarily handed over the affairs of the army to Song Xiance before chasing Su Moer.
When Song Xiance led his men and horses to surround Hong Chengchou's camp, the other battalions of the Ming army of more than 100,000 were not idle, and after receiving the order of Lin Yi to "enter the state of imminent battle", they immediately pulled out the camp overnight and moved towards the mouth of the Sancha River, which means that they were one step ahead of Qingyun's action.
This is because when Lin Yi judged that the assassins were sent by the Qing Dynasty, he had already expected that Dolgon and them would have this hand, and at the same time as handing over Sumer's Mongolian scimitar to Song Xiance and authorizing him to temporarily take charge of the military affairs in the camp, he had already ordered all battalions to prepare for battle.
During the negotiation, the large battalion of the Ming army retreated 20 miles, and now they gave an order, and in the blink of an eye, they drove from 20 miles away to the bank of the Sancha River, that is, the place where they originally stationed their troops, and the various battalions, including the artillery battalion, were also originally optimistic about the terrain, which was exactly the same as the youth situation on the other side, because of the cover of night, both sides did not know each other's actions at that time, only their own actions.
That is to say, after Song Xiance arrested Hong Chengchou and others, as soon as the sky dawned, more than 100,000 Ming troops had quietly moved to the combat position.
As soon as the Ming army was arranged, the cannons of the Qing soldiers on the other side rang out, and hundreds of large and small warships also drove from the shore.
At this time, the Ming army received an order from Song Xiance, and it was also a 10,000-strong cannon fire, and hundreds of red-clothed cannons on both sides bombarded each other across the not wide Sancha River, and the cannon sound was deafening for a while, and the ground shook the mountains.
