Chapter 899: Two Strategies
The Qing army built a city in Jinzhou, and now it is in the hands of the Wei army, which undoubtedly helped Gao Yihuan a lot, allowing Wei to save a lot of manpower and material resources.
With the city of Jinzhou, the Wei army was able to station heavy troops here, and Haoge in Liaodong was locked in the northeast.
The Wei army is not like the Ming army, the Wei army is in a strong position, and the cavalry is strong, with Jinzhou as a stronghold, and can attack Liaodong at any time.
After Li Dingguo captured Jinzhou, he inspected the materials in Jinzhou City, and in addition to the lack of artillery, it can be said that the capture was quite rich.
At that time, Li Dingguo took over Hong Chengchou's work, continued to let the people and prisoners improve the city defense of Jinzhou, and let the people continue to reclaim the land for cultivation next year.
In addition, it is to go to Guanzhong and ask the feudal government to bring cannons and turn Jinzhou into a real city.
~~~~~~
Along the Daling River, in the camp of the Qing army, Haoge and Zierharang stood in the big tent, listening to the cry of a fish who slipped through the net, "Lord Wang, the slave broke through the siege at the risk of death, and Jinzhou City is finished!" ”
Zilharang had a calm face, "What about Hong Chengchou and Bahana?" ”
"Gushan was picked off by the rebel general Li Chengdong with a shot, and Lord Hong was nowhere to be found, and most of them were captured!" The Blue Armor cried.
Haoge couldn't help pacing back and forth in the tent, "Aung Bang Ama, how is this good, as soon as Jinzhou is broken, the main force of the Wei army is going north, what should we do here?" ”
As he was talking, Yue Le came in and said urgently: "King Su, Wu Keshan, Prince of Horqin, wants to go back to the Horqin grassland, the Mongols have already set camp!" ”
When Hauge heard this, he was instantly furious, "Why did he withdraw his troops?" ”
Yue Le hurriedly said: "Wu Keshan received a report from his clansmen that the Wei army had entered Horqin from the north, and he had to go back to rescue his subordinates. ”
Haoge's face turned pale, and Zierharang stood up suddenly, "Quick, the army should withdraw quickly, if the main force of the Wei army goes north, it will not be possible!" ”
At that moment, the Qing army in the big camp was in a hurry, and they didn't dare to take away the camp tents, so they hurriedly withdrew to Shenyang.
Xu Heihu immediately led the army to chase and kill to the edge of the Liao River, killing nearly 1,000 people and returning.
In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Dawei led the army to the Daling River, saw that the Qing army camp was empty, continued to advance and met Xu Heihu to return to the division, and then returned to Jinzhou City.
On the first day of October, after learning that Jinzhou had fallen, the two reinforcements were wiped out all the way, and all the way back to Shenyang, the defenders in Songshan Fort, under the leadership of Qing Beile Tunqi, surrendered Kaicheng, and Tunqi became the first Manchurian royal family to surrender.
At this point, the battle of western Liaoxi ended, and the Wei army controlled the three cities of western Liaoning, and the army was free to threaten the line of the Great Wall, and the Qing army could only hold the pass.
~~~~~~
Beijing, the residence of the Regent.
Because of the distance, Dolgon learned the outcome of the battle of Liaoxi a few days earlier than Gao Yihuan.
This defeat ruined Dorgon's hope of retreating outside the gates, making him a prisoner.
At this time, Nikan stood in front of Dolgon's bedside and listened to Dolgon's instructions: "The decree that was previously ordered to collect local grain shall be revoked immediately, and the state capitals shall continue to organize local cultivation." ”
Originally, Dolgon was going to loot all the grain in the pass, and then flee back to the outside of the pass, but now the escape road is blocked, as long as the Qing army drives out of the pass, the Wei cavalry rushes, and it will be finished immediately.
Therefore, Dolgon can only stay in the pass now, so the original order must be changed, after all, he can't ignore what the Qing army will eat next year.
Nikan nodded, then asked in a deep voice, "What else does the regent have to explain?" ”
Dolgon coughed for a while, frowned and thought: "There is another matter, you ask people to communicate with Zhu Cihong, buy some sea ships to the south, or recruit craftsmen to secretly build ships in Denglai and recruit sailors, and then we will have the opportunity to withdraw from the sea to Guanwai." ”
At that time, the Ming Dynasty had a strategy of sailing to attack Liao, and Kong Youde and others also crossed the sea from Shandong to the Qing Dynasty, which gave Dolgon an inspiration, he was not completely desperate, and the Qing Dynasty still had a chance to retreat.
Nikan's eyes lit up and nodded, "I'll do this as soon as possible!" ”
Dolgon, who was lying on the bed, waved his hand, "You go, the nearest state affairs will be handled by you." ”
~~~~~~
At this time, Gao Yihuan's people were not in Wangjing, but ran to Taiyuan again.
Nearly two years after the Battle of Hedong, Taiyuan City has a new look.
Previously, most of the city was destroyed, and the ancient buildings were seriously damaged, but the white paper of the ruins was convenient for the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
Nowadays, the streets of the city are paved with bricks, and there are light and dark sewer channels on both sides, which directly send the accumulated water and domestic sewage in the city to Fenshui, giving the city a new look.
At this time, Gao Yihuan was in the Taiyuan Palace, listening to Yuan Shizhong's report, and nodded with satisfaction, "General Yuan, you have made a great contribution this time, and this king has his own reward." You've worked hard all the way, so let's go down and rest first. ”
Yuan Shizhong heard this, saluted and retired, and walked to the door of the hall, he couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, he still couldn't pull his face after all, and he didn't take advantage of this opportunity.
At this time, Gao Yihuan stood up, walked to the map, and said with joy on his face: "Now that Liaoxi has been obtained, Dolgon is locked in the pass, what should the Lone King do next?" ”
Chen Mingxia stepped forward and saluted: "The minister thinks that there are two strategies, the first is to fight from the north to the south, first attack Hebei, and then take Shandong!" The second is to attack Shandong first, and then go north to gather the Qing army in Beijing! ”
Gao Yihuan turned around and couldn't help asking, "What are the benefits of these two strategies?" ”
Chen Mingxia walked to the map, pointed to the map and said with a smile: "The minister first said the second strategy, first capture Shandong, and then attack Beijing." The advantage of this strategy was that it was possible to take all the territory controlled by the Manchus and finally gather the Qing army in Beijing. The first strategy ''''''"
Chen Mingxia paused, Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed, "Mr. continue!" ”
Chen Mingxia said: "Take Hebei first, press the Qing army to Shandong, and see Nanjing's reaction, as long as Nanjing dares to give Dolgon assistance, or can't hold his breath and send troops, then the king's excuse to sweep Jiangnan will be even more sufficient!" ”
Gao Yihuan said that Lao Chen was really bad, he pondered slightly, and asked, "What if Zhu Cihong didn't help, but attacked Dolgon?" ”
Chen Mingxia said with a smile: "Then defeat the Ming army in the north with lightning speed, and then insist that they are here to reinforce the Qing army." ”
"It's shameless, isn't it?" Gao Yihuan frowned, smashed his mouth and said, "This is not easy to operate!" ”
Chen Mingxia said with a smile: "Then the king thinks about it again, anyway, now that Jinzhou has been taken, the Qing army in Guannei is trapped by the king, and he is not in a hurry, but the land of Luoyang can not be delayed any longer, and now it can indeed be taken first." ”
Gao Yihuan nodded when he heard this, "Take advantage of the year before you take Luoyang, and it won't affect the cultivation of tomorrow." Okay, give an order to Jin Shenghuan and let him send troops! ”
