[182] Song Youliang and Hong Chengchou's summer offensive
Fan Yongdou thought that his plan was unaware, but from the moment Shi Tingzhu entered Zhangjiakou, Jinyiwei began to closely monitor Fan Ji's shop for twelve hours a day. And Zhangjiakou Fan Yongdou led by the eight people, every move flew to the hands of Song Youliang, who was in Liaodong, Song Youliang already had information gathered from all over the country, judging from these messages, the Hengtong silver number in the country has fallen into a state of paralysis or semi-paralysis. Every day, people with Hengtong Yinhao silver tickets blocked the door to ask for cash, at first some people who did not save much money, and later it was businessmen who had business dealings with Hengtong Yinhao, and finally, local officials who deposited private money or money from Hengtong Silver in Hengtong Silver also joined the ranks of the run.
The capital chain of Hengtong Silver was completely broken, and the shopkeepers of several foreign villages secretly packed up and tried to escape, but they were caught by the guys. In desperation, the shopkeeper could only reluctantly announce that everyone would take whatever value was in the shop, and after taking it, they would go their separate ways. If the men are granted amnesty, hurry up and rob me of all the goods in the silver trumpet. Early the next morning, when the depositors found the silver number empty, they went crazy and smashed the silver counter and rushed into the warehouse to get what they wanted. After snatching all the silver horns, they flocked to the dock area to snatch the belongings marked with Fan Ji, and the scene was chaotic.
The local officials quickly reported the situation, and Luo Yangxing took the opportunity to take out the evidence that the eight major profiteers had collected before to bribe Zhou Yanru, Chongzhen was furious, and despite the obstruction of the ministers, he ordered Luo Yangxing to go directly to Zhangjiakou to get people.
"Not bad~" Song Youliang put away the secret report of Jinyiwei and raised his eyes to look at the position in front of him. I saw that on the vast plain, a lonely city was moaning and trembling weakly under the artillery fire of the Ming army. Around the city, countless Ming military flags are waving in the wind, under the flags, helmets and armor, weapons in their hands, tall Ming soldiers all look serious, their eyes are pointing straight ahead, immovable. Looking from afar, the cold light reflected on the sword shrouded the Ming army in a dazzling silver light, like a heavenly soldier and a heavenly general descending to the earth~~~ Kou Feilin's cannon let out a roar, beating the city wall to pieces and shattering "Newspaper~~Report the military gate~ The city wall of Haizhou has collapsed, and the vanguard has entered the city~"A scout Pegasus came to report that I will pass on the order, kill all the slaves in the city, and confiscate the property~" Song Youliang put down the telescope in his hand and "got the order~" The scout turned his horse's head and galloped to the front line to attack Haizhou, It was part of the Ming army's Liaodong summer offensive planned by Song Youliang and Hong Chengchou. At the same time that Song Youliang attacked Haizhou, Hong Chengchou led Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui to launch an offensive against Yizhou and Quang Ninh at the same time. Hong Chengchou adopted Huang Taiji's siege tactics to send reinforcements, besieged Yizhou with Zu Dashou's soldiers, and sent Wu Sangui and Cao Bianjiao to set up an ambush in the Daling River, and severely damaged the Jiannu reinforcements in one fell swoop, beheading 3,000 people.
"Ignition cannon~" Zu Dashou was besieged by Jiannu for several years, and this time he finally caught the opportunity to besiege Jiannu, so Zu Dashou was particularly excited, he said to Zu Zerun, Zu Zepu, Zu Zehong, and his adopted son Zu Kefa behind him: "Children~~ In the past, we were only passively beaten, but this time we went out and beat Jiannu, it was really enjoyable~"
Zu Zerun, Zu Zepu, Zu Zehong and others all surrendered to Jiannu before, and when Song Youliang broke through Shenyang, they were all captured, thinking that they were in a catastrophe, but not only did they not die, but also because of their meritorious service to the city, they continued to return to Zu Dashou to serve. In fact, the three of them still have a little nostalgia for life in Jianzhou, although the Jiannu nobles still look down on them, but at least Huang Taiji looks down on them. Moreover, the officials of Jiannu were relatively simple, and they were not as enthusiastic about party disputes as the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Zu Zerun said: "Father, do you think it is really impossible to build a slave? β
Zu Dashou was on the rise, and when his son asked him this, he suddenly said unhappily: "Can you not open which pot and which pot not to mention?" β
Zu Zerun could only be silentβββββββ in the face of the fierce attack launched by the Ming army's two-way army, Jiannu unexpectedly began to carry out a comprehensive mobilization, in just a few months, Jiannu first met in southern Liaoning, and when he turned his head, Liaoxi became extremely strong, and he was still in the nest at the critical moment. As a result, Jiannu lost his troops and lost the supplies he usually relied on for survival.
In the Battle of Quang Ninh and the previous wars, Jiannu fully tasted the sweetness of fighting with war, every time, whether it was light cavalry and plunder. It was still a large army attacking the city, and the losses of Jiannu land were minimal. Moreover, the materials and population obtained through the war can not only compensate for the losses, but also expand. Originally, the Jiannu were just nomadic people, not engaged in agricultural production, and they needed a lot of land. Food, salt, iron, and so on, had to be obtained through exchange with the Han people, and now, through war, they could pay a small price. Get the supplies you need. Nomads are born warriors, which has been proven countless times in the past history, since the Han Dynasty, the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains, has never solved this problem, almost every dynasty, is in the nomads in the constant attack to decline.
The civil strife in the Ming Dynasty was largely caused by the endless Liaodong War. Historically, the Ming army's performance on the battlefield of Jiannu was extremely clumsy, especially after the Battle of Liaoshen, which was basically chased and beaten. However, in this time and space, Song Youliang has armed the elite with modern technology and modern military concepts, which has made Jiannu suffer.
After conquering Haizhou, Song Youliang's troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Sun Chuanting, and a total of seven battalions of Zhou Guoqing, Wei Daheng, He Mingwei, He Guoxian, Gao Jinku, Dong Xueli, and He Yong were deployed in Haizhou for a generation, and a forward defense line starting from Haizhou was established. Song Youliang himself led ten battalions of Wu Tingbin, Zhang Guang, Zhang Yuliu, Li Jiyu, Li Xin, Li Mou, Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun, and Gu Junen, with a total of 30,000 troops, and the goal was directly aimed at Phoenix. As long as Phoenix City is contributed, the Kuandian area, the food base of Jiannu, can be contained. It was not only the Tuntian area developed earlier by Jiannu, but also an important passage to open up road communication with North Korea and to meet the 10,000 Korean troops on the Yalu River to enter the northeast to fight against Jiannu.
In the face of the attack of the Ming army's three-way army, after weighing the pros and cons, at the suggestion of Sony, Hauge decided to give up the rescue of Liaoxi and Haizhou, and follow the strategy of letting you come a few ways in the Nurhachi Salhu War, and I only go all the way, gathering the troops that can be gathered, a total of 162 Niu Lu and more than 48,000 people, preparing to block Song Youliang in the Phoenix area and fight a decisive battle with him.
On June 18 of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Aobai Department of the vanguard of Jiannu arrived at a place thirty miles northeast of Phoenix City and set up camp. Ao Bai was a veteran general in the army, and he knew that Song Youliang's troops were strong in combat, so he first divided a cavalry of about 1,000 people and went around to the rear of Song Youliang's troops, intending to harass Song's grain road. However, Ao Bai was disappointed to find that Song Youliang's troops themselves carried a large amount of grain and grass baggage, while the rest of the army was loaded by sea ships by marching along the coastline. No matter how fierce the Jiannu cavalry is, they can only look at the sea and sigh.
However, Ao Bai breathed a sigh of relief, at least Phoenix was still in his hands. Song Youliang, on the other hand, slowly continued along the coastline towards the Kuandian area.
"We must organize this Nanban dog~" Ao Bai shouted Leng Seng Ji and said: "Song Youliang marched along the sea to transport grain like this, it is difficult for us to cut off its grain route, but we must prevent Song Youliang from going to Kuandian, if we lose Kuandian, we can only starve in winter." β
"Block? How to stop it? Ao Bai said helplessly: "It's light. I also know to stop. However, the southern barbarians were cunning, and whenever they settled down, they immediately set up a barracks to resist horses, and let us wait for the challenge, that is, they would not come out. When marching, it is also based on the spear outside, and the firearms are lined up. If our cavalry approaches, we will fire our guns and cannons, and we will retreat, and the southern barbarians will not pursue. β
Leng Monk hurriedly said: "Then watch them go to Kuandian?" Can't you stand in front of the southern barbarians with a great army? β
Ao Bai glanced at Leng Seng Ji, "You are also a person who has read the book of war, and the book of war says that it is not a dignified battle, but what it says is not to fight hard." Field battles are my strengths, what we have to do is not to let the Eight Banners athletes go to the guns of the Southern Barbarians, but to lure them~"
Leng Monk Ji teased: "Then what kind of seduction method~"
Ao Bai shook his head, "I haven't had a plan yet~"
Leng Seng Ji said disdainfully: "I didn't seem to say it~" After that, Leng Seng Ji went back to the camp by himself, leaving Ao Bai alone to meditate, "Hey, it would be nice if Sonny was here, he has a lot of ideas~"
ββββββββ "This is called strategic offense and tactical defense." Song Youliang said proudly: "Jiannu is good at field warfare, not good at attacking cities. We are now marching or camping, turning an entire army into a moving city. If Jiannu didn't attack with blood, he wouldn't want to stop our progress. β
Li Xin also smiled and said: "Yes, on a long-distance expedition, I am afraid that the enemy army will cut off my grain route, but now our grain route is not on the shore but on the water, and Jiannu can only stare dryly." β
Li Mou, Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun, Gu Junen, and other people who had followed Li Zicheng could not help but make a comparison between Song Youliang and Li Zicheng, and secretly said that Li Zicheng's pulling of the team was to gather hungry people, and it was like a snowball. However, such an invading army is too big to be inadequate, and as long as a small part of the backbone forces are defeated, this snowball will collapse at the touch of a button. Song Youliang in front of him has a refined army, well-trained soldiers, sophisticated weapons and equipment, and many clever moves. It seems that it is not unreasonable to wipe out Li Zicheng in the thirty mile shop, although I heard from the Tang newspaper that Li Zicheng made a comeback and occupied the northwest. But Li Mu, Tian Jianxiu, Zhang Nai, Liu Tichun, Gu Junen and others felt that if Song Youliang and Li Zicheng were allowed to fight again, Li Zicheng would still be a desperate escape.
