Chapter 663 Encirclement and suppression of Shandong
Since the Longqing period, there have been large-scale weather anomalies in China, which have lasted for decades, especially during the reign of Yizong, the climate is abnormally bad, with cold winters and dry summers, continuous natural disasters, sharp reductions in grain production, and the Central Plains are surrounded by exiles, which eventually brought down the old empire.
After Jianyi entered the customs, this abnormal weather did not change, and Shandong was continuously affected.
At this time, the anti-Qing uprising led by Xie Qian and Ding Keze had lasted for two years, and the Qing army had not yet been wiped out.
Without slogans and ideas, this group of rebels is a group of thieves, but if they put forward a clear proposition, their influence will be very different.
These two rebel armies, in the eyes of the Qing court, were naturally thieves, Xie Qian and Ding Keze were Gaoyuan thieves, and Caozhou's rebels Liang Min and Ren Qi were Yuyuan thieves.
These two rebel armies were active in Caozhou, and the other was rooted at the junction of Jinan and Qingzhou, and were distributed on both sides of the Grand Canal, one on the left and one on the right, posing a great threat to Jianyi's rule.
The Qing court's power in Shandong was no longer able to complete the suppression, and Dolgon originally planned to send troops to eradicate the two rebellions as soon as possible, but because of the Hauge Change, the time for the Qing troops to clear and suppress was greatly delayed.
By the time the dispute between Hauge and Dolgon came to an end for the time being, the two rebel armies had colluded with the local gentry in Shandong, and their strength had developed rapidly, Xie Qian had gathered 100,000 troops, and the elite armor soldiers had also numbered thousands, to the point where they had to be reduced immediately.
Because of the Haoge rebellion, the Qing court was unstable, especially among the Han people, some people began to waver, Dolgon mobilized the Jiaozhou general soldier Hai Shixing, the Linyi general soldier Yi Yonggui, the Jinan general soldier Lu Guonan, and appointed Ma Guanghui as the governor of Shandong, Henan, and Beizhi provinces to entangle 40,000 green battalions to hang Xie Qian first, and then destroy the Yuyuan thieves, and let Heluo Hui lead the eight banners and 3,000 superintendents, and on the other hand, he ordered the sticky pole to strictly investigate the Han members who colluded with the traitors.
Soon after, Liu Zeqing, one of the four towns of the Hongguang Dynasty, colluded with the Yuyuan thieves, and sent his henchmen and the old department to command the thief army.
At this time, Ma Guanghui also came up with a strategy of encirclement and suppression on all sides, intending to encircle and annihilate Xie Qian in the Zichuan area.
The Qing soldiers marched from all sides, with 8,000 troops led by Lu Guonan, the general soldier of Jinan in the north, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou in the east, and 15,000 green battalion soldiers led by Ma Guanghui in the west, plus 3,000 people from Heluohui, and 7,000 troops led by Yi Yonggui, the general soldier of Linyi in the south, and marched with nets on all sides to extinguish the Xie Qian uprising in Zichuan.
Jianyi approached step by step, Xie Qian's army, which had been active in Shandong for two years, faced a huge threat, and the military advisor Zhao Shuxiang admonished, "In the year of Jiashen, Zhao Yingyuan took Qingzhou, and Wang Xianggong said that he could take Jinan before the Yi soldiers arrived, or take the domain to the south, Yingyuan did not listen, trapped in Qingzhou, and finally failed." Now Jianyi is coming from all sides, the momentum is violent, the infant city is self-defending, and this death strategy is also. There are two strategies in the late life, one urgent and one slow, the urgent strategy is to converge with the Yuyuan army to the east, combine the strength of the two families, and fight with the enemy, if it wins, then Shandong will return to the general, if it is defeated, it will be a catastrophe. Slow policy is to abandon the city, when encountering a strong enemy, then go, when encountering a weak enemy, then attack, heavy for the rogues, break through the city and leave no behind, wandering between Lu and Henan, in order to wait for the king to go north. ”
Although Xie Qian's first army gathered 100,000, it was the same as the original Shun army, the water was very large, most of them were dependents, and the real soldiers were actually only more than 4,000 people.
In mid-November, Xie Qianbu finally abandoned Gaoyuan, Zichuan and other large base areas, and led more than 100,000 people to the south from Zichuan before the Qing soldiers surrounded them on all sides, defeated Yi Yonggui, the general army of Linyi in the Qing Dynasty, and entered the Yizhou Mansion from Muling Pass.
The righteous army passed, the prefectures and counties along the way were burned, and the people were all coerced in, all the way down to Yishui, occupied Yinan, broke Heyang, and approached the capital city of Linqing, shaking Jianghuai.
Linqing City, the heavy snow has been falling for three days and three nights, the entire city and the wilderness outside have been wrapped in silver makeup, a piece of white, for the green battalion soldiers on the city and nearly 300,000 soldiers and civilians under the city, this is not a beautiful scenery, but miserable.
The weather is cold, and there is a lack of activity for a long time, as if the blood is about to clot.
The Qing general Yi Yonggui retreated all the way, and only after retreating to Linyi did he stabilize his position, and there were only more than 4,000 left in the 7,000 green battalion.
Standing at the head of the city, white mist erupting from his mouth, he commanded his subordinates to move the Rolling Wood Thunder Stone to the head of the city, ready to meet the onslaught of the thieves.
The thief's harm to the place is unimaginable, it is almost like locusts crossing the border, rolling more and more, if he can't stop Xie Qian's department and let them rush into Lianghuai, the thieves can envelop nearly one million Jianghuai people in a few months.
It is not easy to build a high-rise building, but it is very simple to destroy, the land of Jianghuai is a rich place second only to Jiangnan for the Qing court, if it is washed by Xie Qian, the Qing court will be like the original Ming Dynasty, and the finances will fall into great difficulties.
The heavy snow is flying, inside and outside Linyi City, both sides are making final preparations, as long as Yi Yonggui holds Linyi, drags Xie Qian under the city, and waits for Ma Guanghui Heluo to come to help, this rabble will inevitably collapse.
And Xie Qian also urgently needs to lay down the city in front of the army for the army, get supplies, and obtain a temporary shelter for the army.
At this time, outside the city was a large camp of the righteous army, which surrounded Linyi City on all sides, and countless simple tents stood solemnly in the cold wind.
The situation faced by the rebels was much worse than that of the green battalion soldiers in the city, and many people had frozen to death.
Xie Qian dragged hundreds of thousands of people south in a very short period of time, and the number of people expanded to more than 300,000, and the materials consumed could not be imagined, coupled with the cold weather, he urgently needed to conquer Linyi.
In the camp, a group of rebels wearing bloated and tattered jackets and red scarves wrapped around their heads, holding guns trembling and trembling in several long columns, the rebels all held a large porcelain bowl of Shandong in their hands, and walked to the gate of the camp, and the gang leader filled everyone with a bowl of hot porridge, and after drinking and warming up, they lined up in formation under the city.
These are naturally not Xie Qian's elite soldiers, but the people who came with them, and they are the main force that will attack the city and consume the enemy.
The Qing army has the advantage of cavalry, Xie Qian's mules and horses are not many, and he will definitely not be able to run, he can only destroy the place, let the Qing soldiers clean up the mess behind the buttocks, and coerce the people, although the speed of the army is reduced, but it can create momentum, that is, hundreds of thousands of people, the waves of sand, select the elite, and constantly grow the old camp of men and horses, the stronger and stronger, and can be thrown to the Qing army at a critical moment, so that the main force can escape.
Although it is cruel, this is the way the thief plays, and it is also where the destructive power of the thief lies.
