The cold wind is bleak, the snow is drifting, and Liaodong in November has entered the cold winter, and the snow on the ground can almost submerge the knees of adults, not to mention marching and fighting, even standing outside the house for a while can freeze people into popsicles. Therefore, Huang Taiji dared to send most of the soldiers and horses to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, because in such bad weather, unless Yuan Keli and Yuan Chonghuan were crazy, it was impossible to attack.

It is not known whether Yuan Keli and Yuan Chonghuan's heads went crazy for the time being, but Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Phi Island, went crazy in his head first.

In various history books, Mao Wenlong is a trickster, basically just appeared for a while, and was clicked by Yuan Chonghuan after saying a few lines, just like a rookie who can't eat anymore, and it has become a dish before it flies.

Is Mao Wenlong really a vegetable? Of course not, not only is he not a good cook, but he is also very powerful, the reason why Yuan Chonghuan wants to kill him is probably the main reason that he is too good. One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and Yuan Chonghuan is a little better than him, so he was dragged out and cut down.

So how good is he, it can be seen from the army establishment that the regular establishment of the Liaodong Ming Army is only 300,000 in total, and he has an army of 100,000 under his command! This is a huge force, although it is not enough to overthrow Huang Taiji, but it is no problem to fight local wars with him from time to time.

Some history books say that he can also sneak attack Houjin's outpost and disgust Huang Taiji, which is simply nonsense, you must know that the Dongjiang Army under Mao Wenlong almost recovered the entire Liaodong in its heyday! His little minions Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming can all be named princes after surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, can he, the main general, be a rookie?

Sun Chengzong naturally knew that he was not a rookie, so when Zhu Cijiong wanted to take advantage of Huang Taiji's absence to sneak attack Liaodong, he was the first to recommend Mao Wenlong. It is not for Mao Wenlong to attack Guangning, but for Mao Wenlong to feint to attack Shengjing. Zhu Cijiong didn't expect that this dragon trick that should have been dragged out and cut by Yuan Chonghuan still had this ability, and the feeling was good, Zhu Cijiong not only issued a canonization decree to praise him, but also sent him a million taels of silver for military expenses, and asked him to organize people to go to the vicinity of Shengjing to have a good toss.

So, Mao Wenlong went crazy,

As soon as Huang Taiji appeared near Zunhua, he arrived near the right guard of Dingliao;

Huang Taiji sneaked up on Zunhua, and he also attacked Dingliao's right guard;

Huang Taiji led the army to the capital, and he led the army to Shengjing;

Huang Taiji led the army to besiege the Beijing Division, and he led the army to besiege Shengjing!

The Ming army was not in chaos, but the Houjin army in Liaodong was completely panicked, and Huang Taiji originally only left 20,000 or 30,000 horses to stay in Liaodong, and there were twenty or thirty cities in Liaodong, and there were about 1,000 people in each city on average of 20,000 or 30,000 people. Mao Wenlong led an army of 100,000 to Shengjing, but the Baylor lords who stayed in Shengjing were frightened, and they sent a letter of help, all the Liaodong troops, all to give me Shengjing!

The final result was that there were less than 2,000 gold troops left in the five cities and more than a dozen guards in the five cities near Guangning!

At this time, Yuan Keli ordered Yuan Chonghuan to lead the elite of 50,000 Liaodong Ming troops to set off, basically wherever they went, the Jin army fled when they heard the wind, just kidding, one or two hundred people fought with an army of 50,000, can it be called a battle? That's a death seeking!

So Yuan Chonghuan basically didn't encounter any resistance, this battle was too simple to fight, if it was a guard, he would send 10,000 iron cavalry to rush over, and the golden soldiers in a mile or two away would run away, and then wait to be trampled into flesh? If it is a city, send 10,000 people to hold shields to protect 10,000 archers to the city wall to shoot arrows, the Jin army on the city wall does not dare to show their heads, as soon as they show their heads, they will become hedgehogs, and then send 10,000 people to climb up the ladder when the shadow of the Jin army is not seen on the city wall, and the battle is not too easy.

In less than a month, Yuan Chonghuan recovered the entire territory of Guangning, and the casualties were less than 1,000, if it were not for the bad weather, it is estimated that the casualties would be even less, because most of the wounded were frostbitten or falls, and few were injured in the real siege battle.

At this time, Huang Taiji had been wreaking havoc in Shuntian Mansion for almost a month, and the harvest was naturally not small, with forty or fifty thousand people looted alone, and there was no time to count the gold, silver, treasure, grain, and livestock. The vicinity of this Jingshi is really richer than the bitter cold land in Liaodong, and all the big and small Baylors have grabbed a lot of money, and they can't close their smiling mouths.

However, Huang Taiji did not laugh, or he was very unhappy, what he wanted was not gold and silver treasures, nor beautiful women, nor livestock, but Jizhou Town. He still wanted to attack the east and the west, and after the failure of the first attack on the capital, he relied on Shuntianfu and did not leave, and set up the camp outside the Guangqu Gate, and there was a posture that he would not return to Liaodong if he did not defeat the capital.

He always thought that the little emperor would be scared and would mobilize a large army to drive him away, and then he would run all the way to Zunhua to directly occupy Zunhua, Santunying, Yongping, Qian'an, and Luanzhou, and see if the Ming army would have time to rescue.

But the little emperor was unmoved, he didn't mean to transfer troops to the king at all, and he wanted to attack the city again to scare and scare him, the thunder and the mine were too weird, and the remaining 90,000 troops might be able to attack the city wall, but what was the point?

So, he simply spent it with the little emperor, stayed outside the Guangqu Gate and didn't leave, and sent his subordinate Baylor to loot from time to time, depending on whether the little emperor was in a hurry.

Of course, Zhu Cijiong was not in a hurry, Mao Wenlong had already made a fuss in Shengjing, and Yuan Chonghuan had also set off with a large army, so he didn't believe that the more than 100,000 Liaodong troops could not help the 20,000 or 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind in Houjin. Consumed, near the Beijing Division, there are more than 200,000 elite Ming army elites against 100,000 Houjin Iron Cavalry, which can be said to be half a catty and eight taels, and no one can help anyone; Liaodong is more than 100,000 elite Ming army against 20,000 or 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, who is afraid of whom!

By mid-December, the situation in Liaodong had finally reached the Houjin Daying, and Huang Taiji had no blood spurting out. Who's attacking whom? He went around a big circle from the Mongolian steppe to Jizhou Town, attacked Zunhua and then went straight to the capital of Daming. Not a single city was taken; The Ming army in Liaodong sent the guerrilla commander Mao Wenlong to besiege his Shengjing and recaptured Guangning!

Huang Taiji had to go back to rescue Shengjing, who knows what it will be like there now, in case Mao Wenlong doesn't want to attack the city, it's really hard to say whether Shengjing can hold it. Besides, Yuan Chonghuan is not a vegetarian, in case he is not satisfied with Guangning and continues to advance, then the entire Liaodong is afraid that most of it will be lost.

............

Mao Wenlong naturally would not sacrifice his life to attack Shengjing, he just feinted to cooperate with the Western Front to recover Guangning, there was no need to fight hard to attack the city; Yuan Chonghuan did not continue to advance, after all, Guangning has five cities and more than ten guards, and his 50,000 horses can barely hold it if they are scattered, and if he advances further, the defensive pressure is too great, in case he is bitten by Huang Taiji, it will be more than worth the loss.

The first battle of Emperor Taiji of the Chongzheng Dynasty ended in this way, because the Ming army was equipped with defensive artifact grenades and mines, the Houjin did not capture a city, but lost the important town of Guangning in eastern Liaodong. It seems that Zhu Cijiong has gained a big advantage, but in fact, when Huang Taiji retreated, he plundered all the way, taking away more than 100,000 civilians and countless property, and the Ming Dynasty still suffered heavy losses, and the two sides could only say that it was a draw.

After the Ming army was equipped with grenades and mines, it was difficult for Houjin to break through the city of the Ming Dynasty, and so on the new flintlock pistol to be made, the advantage of the Houjin Iron Cavalry will also be gone, with the development of the military industrial system, the Ming will gradually surpass the Houjin in military strength, it seems that the situation is very good, and the Ming can finally turn over.

But, is that so?

Of course not, it all has to be piled up with money!

It costs money to build grenades, flintlock pistols, soldiers and horses, and civilians to resettle them, and after a battle, several million taels are gone, and more than 20 million taels of silver confiscated from the eunuchs remain. Zhu Cijiong looked at the increasingly dry treasury, and wanted to cry without tears, this is simply sitting on a mountain empty, and after another two years of tossing like this, his Ming Empire Co., Ltd. will go bankrupt!

What to do? Naturally, it's time to make money.,As for how to make this money.,This volume is over.,And look at the next volume breakdown.。

The third volume of "The Road to a Strong Country", so stay tuned.
