Chapter 519: Dolgon's Strategy

"Smack!" Wang Yue slapped the table violently, and his eyes became cold: "Xiuquan, your Military Investigation Bureau will screen out all the Manchurians and manage them in a unified manner!" All the banner people who have Han slaves in their families will be raided from their homes, and if they do not obey, they can be punished on the spot, and the whole family will be shot. ”

Gu Xiuquan was shocked when he heard this: "Yes! ”

Wang Yue then said to Li Zixuan: "Zixuan, while the Lushun area is engaged in construction, let several regiments take turns to go to the north for activities, even if it is a battle belt training." ”

Of course Li Zixuan understood the meaning of the activity, and he asked with a smile: "Commander, where is the farthest we can go?" ”

Spreading out the topographic map of the Liaodong Peninsula, Wang Yue pointed his finger at everything on it and said: "As far as the line of Gaizhou, clean up all the people in this range." ”

Saying that, he said with a cold look in his eyes: "All the villages and towns of the Manchus were swept away, and all the Manchus were taken prisoner and sent to the Lushun area to work as coolies. The Han people all migrated to the Lushun area to build roads, houses, and farmland, which required a large number of people. ”

"Yes, Commander!" Li Zixuan said.

————————————

The beacon smoke that extended from southern Liaoning was soon transmitted to Shengjing, and all units of the Qing army were on strict alert.

After a continuous relay of changing horses, the Qing soldiers who sent the message spent two days and one night, rushing endlessly, and finally sent the detailed military information to Huang Taiji.

Hearing that the Tiance army was coming across the sea and besieging Lushun City, Huang Taiji immediately convened the princes and ministers of Baylor to discuss the matter, and as soon as the ministers arrived, the news of the destruction of Jinzhou City arrived immediately after.

With a gloomy face, Huang Taiji repeated the important military information he had just obtained to the princes and ministers present.

After hearing this, the princes and ministers of Baylor were all shocked.

Prince Heshuo Dai Shan sighed: "In this way, Lushun has fallen into the hands of the Ming army again. ”

Huang Taiji frowned and nodded: "With the combat power of the Tiance Army, it is difficult to hold the Lushun situation. All the princes Baylor and all the secretaries of the family all talked about the intentions of the Tiance Army? ”

In the Korean War, he was deeply impressed by the firepower of the Tiance army, and with Lushun's little strength, he knew that he could not stop the attack of the Tiance army at all.

Prince Zheng Jierharang came out of the ranks and said in a loud voice: "The Tiance army suddenly landed at this time and attacked Lushun, it is very likely that they want to use this as a base to plot against our Qing Dynasty, and ask the emperor to allocate a large army to the ministers, and the ministers will definitely be able to take advantage of their unstable foothold to drive them down to the sea." ”

He led 20,000 Qing troops last year and played a lone army to go deeper, but he was beaten by the Tiance Army and the 60,000 Ming Army.

Duoduo, the prince of Yu, also came out to ask for battle: "My Qing Dynasty is now strong in troops, why should I be afraid of the Tiance army?" The younger brother is willing to lead a division of soldiers and horses, and he is bound to fight to the death with the Tiance army that comes. ”

"I don't think it's appropriate!" Dolgon, the Prince of Rui, came out and said: "Although my Qing Dynasty has expanded its army, it lacks preparation and training, and it is not wise to fight a decisive battle with the Tiance army at this time. The sharp firepower of the Tiance army is its strength and its disadvantage, and the guns, bullets, grain and grass will inevitably be more dependent on the grain road. ”

"For example, today's army attacking Lushun and setting foot in Liaodong is an opportunity for my Qing Dynasty to take advantage of. Lushun is thousands of miles away from Shengjing, and the long-distance attack of the Tiance army will inevitably become the end of the strong crossbow, and our local combat in the Qing Dynasty can give full play to the mobile advantages of the cavalry, cut off its grain route at any time, exterminate its baggage escort troops, and continue to accumulate small victories into big victories, and then kill the enemy with one blow after it is weak, which will be able to achieve full success. ”

In the battle with the Tiance Army in Korea, Dolgon had a very deep understanding of the Tiance Army, and saw very clearly the combat methods of the Tiance Army and the weakness of the Qing Army.

After much research and analysis, Dorgon quickly came up with a strategic idea that he thought was very feasible.

This is a strategic judgment made from the strength of the Tiance Army and its extreme dependence on logistics.

This strategy was relatively successful in the history of the Japanese invasion of China, the national army resisted in stages, and finally insisted on the war of resistance with Chongqing as the accompaniment, lengthening the battle line, extending the supply line, and diluting the Japanese army.

One of the most successful cases was the German attack on Moscow in World War II, and the German army was defeated on a long front.

Dorgon is as cunning as a fox, and it is very rare to be able to make such a strategic idea when there is such a large difference in the generation of weapons.

It is a pity that the generation gap between the Qing army and the Tiance army cannot be made up by any strategy, although Dolgon is a Manchu elite, but the limitations of the times also hinder his vision.

With modern equipment and cross-sea combat capabilities, the Manchu capital Shengjing was actually not safe.

Huang Taiji's military prowess was also very high, and he immediately understood Dorgon's strategic intentions, and he thought so.

Dolgon's shrewdness and ability made Huang Taiji wary, and he looked at Dolgon with great meaning as he sat on the dragon chair.

Dolgon's idea also caught the eyes of everyone present, especially those who had fought against the Celestial Army, who thought it was a good strategy to constantly weaken their opponents.

Fan Wencheng agreed: "The minister thinks that Prince Rui's words are very good, and according to the detailed work of the Ming State, Wang Yue's rear is not stable. Since Wang Yue collected taxes in Jiangnan, he has offended most of the scholars, and these people will not give up with Wang Yue. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and asked Kong Youde: "Gongshun Wang, what is the progress of the Han army's flag fire and artillery casting now?" ”

Kong Youde said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have cast more than 300 cannons, including 100 heavy artillery pieces and 20,000 guns. ”

After the Battle of Songshan in history, the Qing army has more than 100 artillery pieces, and more than 200 guns after entering the customs, many of which are still heavy artillery, and the so-called heavy artillery of the Qing army is the Franc machine gun. Since the repeated defeats with Tiance, with the strong support of Huang Taiji, the number of firearms produced by the Qing army has been several times that of the same period in history.

Huang Taiji asked again: "Then does the Wuzhen Chaoha Firearms Battalion have the strength to fight against the Tiance Army?" ”

"This ......." Kong Youde's brain was sweating, he had seen with his own eyes how the Tiance Army fought.

Du Du, the king of Anping County, took the opportunity to say: "King Gongshun occupies a large amount of military spending, but it is difficult to see actual results. ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

Other Manchu ministers also came out one after another, spraying wildly at Kong Youde.

The strategy of dealing with the Tiance army was being discussed in the court here, and in an instant, it turned into a meeting of the Manchu ministers to criticize Kong Youde, which shows how much these Manchu ministers did not want to see the Han ministers, especially after Huang Taiji continued to tilt his military spending towards the Han army flag.

Due to the appearance of Wang Yue, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty not only appeared several years in advance, but also far exceeded the number of troops of the two Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, almost equal to the sum of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia.
