No. 092 Battle Formation Experience

The emperor's casual and natural words of comfort deeply moved them, and they all expressed their loyalty: "It is incumbent upon the ministers to serve the saints." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"There are quite a lot of volunteers and bravers in the new army, and they are more than enthusiastic, and their personal skills and combat experience are seriously insufficient, so we must take advantage of the opportunity to step up their training." Zhu Youlang glanced at the audience, and then said to the people beside him: "Military training is nothing more than individual skills and collective battle formations, since Wuzhou resisted the Tartars, our monarchs and ministers have worked together, and they have really fought a few battles with the Tartars, among which there are victories and defeats, a lot of gains, and a lot of lessons. ā€

"Speaking of comprehension, there are some." Wu Jisi saw that everyone was frowning and thinking, and had no intention of speaking for a while, for fear that he would sweep the emperor's face in the cold, so he could only take the lead with a hard head, he considered his tone and said: "The minister thinks that the battlefield fights do not need fancy moves, what is particular is to kill with one hit, save physical strength, steady as a mountain, fast as electricity, kill with one blow, go to the battlefield, slash with guns and bayonets, hit knees and elbows, and only greet to the fatal place."

There are ministers who believe that war is not a person's business, personal skills on the battlefield play a very limited role, pay attention to each other's cooperation, my Ming traditional tactics are, long-range with bows and crossbows, birds, artillery, a swarm of bees, etc., after the short soldiers, jumping repeatedly short assault, spearmen take turns, the horse team outflanks the battle, the enemy rout is the horse team to take the lead in pursuit, etc., in general, the minister believes that all things are mutually reinforcing, the battlefield is not absolutely invincible, lies in the cooperation of all arms. ā€

Zhai Shiyun stroked his beard, nodded frequently, seemed to feel the same way, and finally couldn't help but echo a sentence: "Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Water flows because of the land, and soldiers win because of the enemy." The soldiers are impermanent, the water is impermanent, and the old minister thinks that the one who can win due to the change of the enemy in the battle formation can be described as the god of the army! ā€

"The two Aiqing are right." Zhu Youlang smiled and bowed his head, turned to look at Jiao Lian, and said with a smile: "I don't know if Jiao Qing can get anything!" ā€

Jiao Lian was personally questioned by the emperor, couldn't help but blush, because of arrogance, eager to achieve success, the elite night attack of the three thousand foot cavalry failed, almost the entire army was wiped out, he was also punished, took off the general seal that symbolized great honor, lost face, Wan Lai Emperor trust is not shallow, still entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and gave him a chance to make meritorious service, the emperor's kindness made Jiao Lian even more grateful, shameless, he said with shame: "The proud army will be defeated, and the minister finally understands the meaning of this sentence now." ā€

Zhu Youlang nodded and said: "Soldiers, fierce people, the place of life and death, the way of survival, you must not ignore it, Jiao Qing can have this understanding, I am very happy." ā€

He finally concluded: "I believe that if you are skilled in the battle formation, one person can defeat dozens of people; If the formation is very familiar, tens of millions of people can be like one person! If you can do it without arrogance and discouragement from defeat, you can really become a victorious army.

From tomorrow onwards, the guards and pro-army, infantry cavalry, and sailors will study astronomy and geoscopy, grid, surveying and mapping, arithmetic, military history synopsis, and marching drills in the morning, and in the afternoon, they will perform trial infantry and cavalry formations, building fortresses, offensive and defensive tactics, reconnaissance skills, and specific marching, formation, division, and offensive and defensive styles. ā€

"The ministers obey."

As they spoke, the sun set again, and the sun grew redder and redder, reddening half of the western sky, and the fish-scale clouds floating in the mid-air heralded another sunny day.

Since Zhu Youlang traveled to the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, half a year has passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the middle of May of the first year of Yongli (May 1647).

At this time, it has been four years since the Qing army entered the customs, since the Qing army entered the customs in 1644 AD, the regent Dolgon moved the capital to Beijing with the six-year-old Shunzhi little emperor, and began to plot Kyushu to build an indefatigable business.

In December 1644, Li Zicheng's Shun army was defeated by the Qing army on the west road led by Azig in Tongguan, and was forced to flee into Hubei through Xiangyang, and entered Wuchang in April of the following year, and was defeated again by the Qing army that pursued it, and was defeated again in Jiangxi in early May, and then was killed by the local regiment of the Ming Dynasty in the area of Nanjiugong Mountain in Tongshan County, Hubei.

Not long after Li Zicheng's death, the Qing army on the East Road led by Duoduo also successfully conquered Yangzhou, an important town in the north of the Nanming River, and slaughtered the city for ten days, more than 800,000 soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou were killed.

A few days later, when the soldiers approached the city of Nanjing, Zhu Yousong, the Hongguang Emperor, heard the news and fled with Ma Shiying and a few lieutenant officials to Wuhu Town, where Huang Degong sought refuge.

On May 5, 1645, the Hongwu Gate was opened, and nearly 20 nobles led by Wuchen Zhao Zhilong, Baoguo Gong Zhu Guobi, Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, Yongkang Marquis Xu Hongjue, etc., led by nearly 20 nobles with 100,000 Beijing battalion soldiers bowed their heads to welcome the surrender.

In addition to Qian Qianyi and Wang Duo, there were also scholars Cai Yichen, squire Zhu Zhichen, and Du Yushi Li Qiao, all of whom knelt down, and Han, Zhan, Ke, Dao, Ministry, and temple officials, and those who surrendered were not to be remembered.

Among them, in addition to Han Zanzhou, the eunuch who committed suicide and martyrdom in Nanjing, there were only 12 people, and among the 12 people, only one of the high-grade senior officials of the Criminal Department was Gao Zhuo, and the remaining eleven people were low-grade officials and scholars without official status. ā€

On May 28, under the heavy oppression of the Qing army, Huang Degong's troops Tian Xiong and Ma Degong plotted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Degong saw that he could not do anything, and killed himself, Hongguang Emperor was captured alive by Tian Xiong, dedicated to the Qing army to invite merit, and was sent to Beijing, Ling Chi was executed, and the Hongguang regime was destroyed.

Dolgon and other Manchurian magnates thought that the world had been decided, and their arrogance was unstoppable, so they brazenly tore off the mask of hypocrisy, issued a shaving order, and forced the people of the Ming Dynasty to shave their hair and change their clothes.

At the same time, a series of other national oppressive policies were promulgated, such as the fugitive law, land enclosure, and confiscation.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were displaced, became slaves and slaves, and were extremely miserable, and the sound of crying resounded throughout China.

Ming Confucian Gu Yanwu said: "Those who change their names with different surnames are said to be ruined; Benevolence and righteousness are full of mannibalism, and as for the cannibalism of beasts, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world! ā€

Under the brutal and inhumane policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the original simple change of dynasty instantly evolved into national oppression, the contradiction of foreign invasion rapidly intensified, the north and south of the river, and even the two sides of the Yellow River were all over the place overnight, the people of Jiangyin took the lead in unveiling the pole, raised the banner to resist the Qing Dynasty, and defended the county seat for 83 days under the siege of tens of thousands of Qing troops, and then was slaughtered by the Qing army, and the 100,000 people in the city were slaughtered to only 53 people old and young.

On the side of the Ming court, since Emperor Hongguang was captured, the Ming ministers elected Zhu Changzhu, the king of Lu, to supervise the country, and soon the king of Lu surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Hangzhou, and the sea lord Zheng Zhilong took the opportunity to support the abolished Tang king Zhu Yujian, who lived in Fujian, called the emperor, and built the name Longwu, which was also destroyed by the Qing army in less than a year. Zhejiang and Fujian fell successively.
