Chapter 539: The Third Great War of Annihilation
Dai Shan: "Your Majesty the Khan, do you mean that our army still has to fight Liu Renyu's army through field battles?" ”
"Exactly," Huang Taiji agreed, "Let the flags go to publicize, Liu Renyu will kill all our Jurchens, we have no way out, Daling River can't be defeated, and Liao Shen, Liao Shen can't hold it, and Hetuala, Hetuala can't hold it, the Jurchens are over, Liu Renyu came this time, the purpose is to destroy my Dajin country,
None of us have a way out, this war, the flag guards kneel to the flag master and the flag Baylor commander, the eight banners fight as one, the two yellow flags are no exception, we don't want to retreat because of the casualties, this time we have no way to retreat, even if it is to the last soldier, we must fight,
If we continue to fight, we will be able to inflict heavy damage on Liu Renyu's subordinates, and only then will it be possible to exchange for the opportunity for the Southern Dynasty court to send troops, will you hear it clearly? ”
"The ministers have heard it clearly."
"Go, kill the Han people, send envoys to sue for peace, prepare for war under all banners, and do it quickly."
**
Everywhere in the Houjin Kingdom, each Niu Lu Ezhen assigned tasks to the soldiers under his own rule, and all the leaders of the Han army banner received the task of killing the Han people.
They gladly accepted the order, although they still have Han blood in their veins, but deep in their hearts, they have long stopped thinking of themselves as Han people, and now that they have received such an order, of course they know that this must be a test for their masters.
Therefore, these Han army banner soldiers who were once Han people worked extra hard to kill Han people.
The Han people from all over the Houjin Dynasty, on weekdays, look up and don't look down with these banner people, and they have been messing around for a long time, thinking that they have really become the obedient people of the Dajin Kingdom since then, thinking that as long as they shrink their necks and lower their eyebrows, they can always live a peaceful life, but they never thought that the Dajin Kingdom is in trouble, and they are still a foreign race after all, and they can't escape this knife after all.
In mid-April of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Han people in the Houjin Kingdom were finally killed.
At the same time, the meticulous workers of the Later Jin, after a lot of hardships, finally got in touch with Zu Dashou of Jinzhou, and sent the peace of the Later Jin Kingdom, as well as the ginseng, deer antler, mink and honey that the Houjin paid tribute to Jingshi, and sent to Jingshi with these tributes, as well as silver tickets.
The silver ticket is naturally used to honor the princes in the court, and Huang Taiji hopes that these people can help talk.
Zu Dashou has been the leader of the Liao army in Liaodong all these years, and he has always maintained contact with the group behind him and Houjin, in fact, he is neither friend nor foe, and he has no reason to refuse such a thing.
The sincerity of the Later Jin, through the Liaoxi Corridor, entered the Beijing Division.
In order to be able to seek peace, Huang Taiji really worked hard, went to the Dajin country, still called a minister, and was willing to accept the imperial court's restraint policy, accept the defense of Jianzhou, and defend the northeastern border of the Ming Dynasty.
Such a thing, in the past, was undoubtedly a great joy, and the court fought with Jiannu to the death, in the final analysis, it was not for a breath.
You are a house slave, do not recognize the master, want to sit on an equal footing, it is impossible, the heavenly kingdom can not bear this breath, if Houjin can be soft, called the minister and pay tribute, the two sides will strike the army and stop fighting, there is no war in Liaodong, there is no need to levy Liao's salary, and rest with the people, why not.
But now this Huang Taiji's extremely humble wording of the peace recital is in Chongzhen's hands, and Chongzhen just smiled bitterly.
The strength organized by the cultivators of Zhejiang and Nanzhili is no match for the beggar army with the foundation of the common people.
In Nanzhili and Zhejiang, there are countless officials and township officials who were martyred, but the people do not praise them, but call them independent. Husband and thief.
On the Shaanxi side, the offensive of the begging army was also extremely fierce, and almost all officials, clansmen, township officials, and gentry were poisoned by the beggar army, and even Hong Chengchou was not spared.
That Liu Renyu is really still powerful, and he quickly swept away the beggar army in Shaanxi, but this is not a good thing, because it just means that Liu Renyu's territory has expanded a little.
If the north is erosive, and the south and Zhejiang are captured, it is only a matter of time, not a matter of probability. ”
Therefore, at this time, what is the use of Huang Taiji sending this peace memoranda, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, the Jurchen comes to the court, and the heavenly kingdom asks the Jurchen envoy to go back with tribute by himself, not to mention the reward, and even the travel expenses are not reimbursed.
The envoy of Houjin was anxious, and told him in person that Daming and Houjin cooperated with Liu Renyu's plan to deal with Liu Renyu, but this naturally could not impress Chongzhen in the slightest.
Hou Jin didn't know that Li Zicheng in the south had forced the Ming into a corner, all the elite legions of the Ming Dynasty had been reduced to nothing, and the Ming Dynasty no longer had any strength to cooperate with anyone.
This helplessness of the Ming Dynasty was regarded as a decision by Huang Taiji, and the Heavenly Empire would rather let Liu Renyu sit big, but also want to destroy the Dajin Kingdom.
Huang Taiji has no hope, he can only rely on himself, and he can only fight a field battle to win, because Liu Renyu has a cannon.
Liu Renyu had already come to Dalinghe City, but he didn't attack Houjin right away, because he was waiting for the last red-coated cannon. Sixty red-clad cannons are enough to knock any fortified city to pieces.
No matter what tactics Houjin adopts, Liu Renyu can already deal with it.
In the field battle, Liu Renyu raised his hands to welcome and defend the city, Liu Renyu planned to bombard it with artillery, and the fool was attached to the city.
Only in the field can you stand and fall.
On April 25, the ninth year of Chongzhen, even in the northeast during the Xiaoice River period, the ice melted, the water flowed, the flowers bloomed, the geese returned, the sun was bright, but it was not hot, it was really a good day for travel.
To the west of the Liao River, in the wilderness, Asakusa had no hooves and drowned the hooves of more than 400,000 horses.
The strong wind blew the hunting flag to cover the sky and the sun, and the horns were repeated, so that the birds could not fall into the nest safely.
It was still a melodious and cheerful grenadier march, and the riflemen of the Jingbian Army stepped on the drums, marched neatly, divided into multiple phalanxes, and walked towards the Houjin army on the opposite side.
On the Houjin side, although they learned the path of the Jingbian Army and formed an arquebus unit, and not only those Han army flags carried guns, but even those Jurchens who had always boasted that they were riding and shooting armor in the world put down their bows and arrows and picked up firearms, but they still learned nondescriptly.
"Hey, look, look, it's too unrefined for them to hold such a big drum to command the march," Sun Wuxian pointed to the huge marching drum of the Houjin army and laughed.
"Hey!" Sun Wuxie's eyes widened, as if he had seen something extraordinary, and his mouth couldn't close in surprise, "I didn't think that these Jiannu actually put down their bows and arrows and cold weapons, and played with muskets, the officer at the front of the two red flags, I recognize, who fought in the past." ”
"No disease, you are so old, but this temperament is still so unstable, but with you, we have some fun marching and fighting, hehe, these Jiannu, when it comes to life and death, but they also know how to change themselves,"
When Liu Renyu said this, he raised his hand and estimated the direction of the wind.
"After all, this place has been ruled by Jiannu for many years, it seems that I have feelings for Jiannu, at this time, the east wind is blowing, my hot air balloon troops are in the air, and they can't effectively bomb them, they have red-coated cannons, I'm afraid that this battle is not how easy to fight,
They also have arquebuses, although the power is not as strong as our army, but it is difficult for our army to parry when shooting at close range, in addition, this is already the base of Jiannu, they have no way to retreat, to the situation of fighting against the water, I am afraid that it will not be a slight setback will retreat,
Today's battle will determine the overall situation of Liaodong, so our army must not take it lightly, and must brace its spirits, despise the enemy strategically, attach importance to the enemy tactically, and fight the last battle against Jiannu. ”
"Yes." The generals agreed.
**
Opposite the Jingbian Army, Huang Taiji also seemed to feel the favor of the heavens for the Dajin Kingdom, and this strong east wind pressed the hot air balloon of the Jingbian Army to the ground and could not be lifted into the air.
In this way, your artillery will be safe, and you will no longer have to be afraid of bombing, and in this way, your artillery will be able to play an immeasurably huge role.
Artillery bombardment, fire to the last soldier.
