Section 29 Good News
Fang Zhenghua sighed, there were only three thousand guards in total, in order to prevent Jiannu from fleeing north, one thousand guards entered the north position of Jinzhou City, and one thousand guards followed the Chinese army as the main force to charge the formation. The remaining 1,000 guards were divided into two routes, and 500 each entered the positions in the east and south of the city.
With 500 guards and the headquarters of Bai Guangen, it was a little difficult to stop Dolgon. Who would have thought that Dolgon didn't want to flee north, but broke through in the direction of Shanhaiguan?
Hong Chengchou knew that with Dolgon's shrewdness, the general soldier Bai Guangen would not be able to catch up with his escaping footsteps, let alone in the Yanshan Mountains. As long as Dolgon escaped from the Yanshan Mountain Range, he entered the grassland, with Jiannu's prestige in the grassland, and with Dolgon's wisdom, even if he lost a lot in the Yanshan Mountain, he could replenish his troops on the grassland.
Hong Chengchou sighed, the firearms called machine guns of the Guards are still too few. In order to capture Huang Taiji and eat Huang Taiji's 50,000 troops before, the only ten machine guns of the Guards were placed in the north and west of Jinzhou, and the south of the city was in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and they were not placed at all.
If one or two machine guns had been detached and placed in the south of the city, it would not have been so easy for Dorgon to escape from the encirclement. If Bai Guangen's troops were a little braver, as long as they dragged Dolgon, when the war on the main battlefield was over, Dolgon would not be able to escape.
You don't have to think about it to know that under the ferocious assault of Dolgon's department, the Ming army under Bai Guangen's department is obviously afraid of battle. Five hundred guards alone couldn't stop Dolgon, who was bent on escaping.
Hong Chengchou looked at Fang Zhenghua, Fang Zhenghua shook his head: "The combat power of the Guards has been maximized, and the soldiers are already very tired after only a month of being an army before, and after several major battles in Songshan, Tashan, Xingshan and Bijia Mountain. At this time, if you want to pursue Dolgon, who fled into Yanshan, you are already a little powerless. ”
Hong Chengchou nodded, sighed and said, "This battle is still a little imperfect. However, the ancestor did not pray that we could settle Liaodong in one battle. can resolve the siege of Jinzhou and drive Jiannu across the Daling River, and the ancestor will be satisfied. Fortunately, we also captured Haoge Yuetuo alive, and the slave chief Emperor Taiji also fell into our hands, and this great achievement was enough to make the ancestor happy. ”
Fang Zhenghua smiled and nodded, and at this moment, Wu Sangui, who had a cigarette on his face, and Zu Dashou of Jinzhou City, and other Liaodong generals rushed over, and when they saw Hong Chengchou, they came over to salute.
In a big battle, capturing Huang Taiji, Haoge and Yue Tuo and other slave chiefs, and killing Fan Wencheng, the most important civil servant of Jiannu, can be said to be a great victory that no one can imagine for the Ming Dynasty! As the defender of Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou and other generals did not contribute much, but they finally joined the battlefield.
In particular, Wu Sangui, before Hong Chengchou's army arrived, led the army out of the city to guerrilla, delaying the time and pace of Jiannu's retreat to the north. It can be said that the first contribution of this war belongs to Wu Sangui.
After the war, Hong Chengchou naturally couldn't just take care of the general soldiers and guards under his own command, and the Liaodong generals in Jinzhou City also scored and run, so as not to make the Liaodong generals dissatisfied.
A grand celebration banquet was held in Jinzhou City, and it should be said that the entire Jinzhou City military and civilians participated. The bright firelight illuminated the dark night, and the entire Jinzhou City could be said to be sleepless, worried and scared for a whole year, and finally on this day, ushered in a beautiful sunrise.
Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou, in the fiery eyes of the generals, finally wrote the results of the battle into a report to the emperor to report the victory.
Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, was recorded in the first position. No one will object to his first achievement. Fang Zhenghua, the leader of the Guards, was in second place, and the Liaodong generals already knew that the Guards were the Emperor's Guards and represented the Emperor. Therefore, no one dares to oppose this military achievement.
It's just that Fangzhenghua doesn't value this feat. For Fang Zhenghua and his guards, whether they have any military exploits, they are all the emperor's Son of Heaven guards, not to mention that Jianwen Ancestor is also their backstage. As long as they follow the emperor and Jianwen Ancestor, they will not lose the glory and wealth of their lives.
The general soldiers under Hong Chengchou, such as the general soldier Yang Guozhu, the general soldier Wang Tingchen, and the general soldier Ma Ke, and even the general soldier Bai Guangen, who made Dolgon escape from the encirclement, all shared an enviable battle exploit in the Tang newspaper that reported the victory. Then there are Zu Dale, Zu Zeqing and other generals in Jinzhou City, everyone has a share.
The night of the victory was not collected, and the horse quickly took the good news and took the first step. Hong Chengchou ordered the general soldier Bai Guangen's troops, together with the Son of Heaven's guards who returned to Beijing, to escort tens of thousands of Jiannu prisoners, as well as the troops of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who surrendered to Cheng, and then set off towards the capital.
And at this time, Hong Chengchou and Fang Zhenghua both received the divine consciousness transmission of Jianwen ancestor Zhu Yunwen. But it turned out that Zhu Yunwen, who was in the capital and swept to the battlefield of Jinzhou, saw that Hong Chengchou actually took down Huang Taiji and other slave chiefs in one go, and he was happy in his heart, so he simply planned to take down the Jin merchants who were all slaves on the right side of the mountain now.
It just so happens that now Jiannu's vitality is greatly damaged, and after Dolgon returns to Shenyang, he will definitely compete for power and profit with the Daishan who stayed in Shenyang, and there will not be much war in the Guanningjin defense line in a few years. And taking this opportunity to cut off Jiannu's eyeliner in the Guan, cut off Jiannu's offerings in the Guannai, and Jiannu, who was greatly injured, needed more time to recover.
Hong Chengchou, who had already given the order, withdrew the order and re-issued it. Ordered Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Shanxi, to lead the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to escort the prisoners of Jiannu to the capital, ordered the general soldier Ma Ke to garrison Shanhaiguan, and ordered Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to lead the Guanning iron cavalry to rush to Datong with the guards of the Thousand Five Heavenly Sons.
At the same time, he also ordered the general soldier Bai Guangen to garrison Songshan, the general soldier Yang Guozhu to garrison Xingshan, and the general soldier Wang Tingchen led his headquarters soldiers and horses, and Hong Chengchou's headquarters soldiers and horses, as well as the Thousand Five Heavenly Sons Guards, rushed to Zhangjiakou.
Originally, Wu Sangui saw that Hong Chengchou had transferred him out of Shanhaiguan, and he was still unhappy. I don't want Hong Chengchou to say that this is arranged by Jianwen Ancestor. Wu Sangui immediately smiled, happily received the order and went to gather the Guanning Iron Cavalry.
If the emperor wants to transfer him out of Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui will definitely be sick or something, and there is always an excuse not to leave. But Da Ming's thighs thicker than the emperor spoke, how could Wu Sangui not listen, he was looking for an opportunity to hug his thick legs.
……
Three days later, outside the city of the capital, outside the Yongding Gate, several cavalry riding in the dust galloped in, and without waiting for the soldiers guarding the city gate to step forward to stop the horses, they were already shouting loudly: "Good news!" Good news! Jinzhou good news! I, the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou, the commander of the Son of Heaven Guards Fang Zhenghuafang, annihilated 50,000 Jiannu on the periphery of Jinzhou City three days ago, captured and killed the slave chief Taiji, and killed Fan Wencheng, the important minister of Jiannu! Good news! Good news......"
The gatekeeper who was about to step forward to stop his horse was stunned for a moment, and did not react until the cavalry rushing to the city gate. The sentry guarding the city gate suddenly shouted: "Quick! Get out of the way! Fast! Lead the horse! ”
The victorious cavalry roared past the city gates, and the sentinel also flew on his horse, ran in front of the victorious cavalry and shouted frantically: "Get way!" Way! Get out of the way! Good news! Jinzhou victory! Capture and kill the slave chief Taiji! ”
When the people of the capital heard this good news, they were stunned and could hardly believe their ears. But the sound of the victory was still sounding wildly, and the people believed in the battlefield ahead, the Ming army had achieved a great victory, and even the emperor Huang Taiji of Jiannu was captured and killed by the Ming army.
The people of the capital, who were threatened by the presence of the Jiannu soldiers in the city, either cried with joy, or laughed and sang wildly, and rushed behind the cavalry who reported the victory, shouting in unison: "Great victory! Daming won! Long live the Emperor! Daming Wansheng! ”
The chanting of Yongdingmen gradually spread throughout the outer city, and then spread to the inner city, and then the people of the entire capital cried with joy, and then shouted: "Daming Wansheng!" Long live the Emperor! ”
Chongzhen, who was playing Tai Chi with the courtiers, vaguely heard the cheers of the people outside the imperial city, but he couldn't hear what the people were cheering about. Zhou Yanru and other courtiers in the court also heard the cheers outside the imperial city, and they all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on outside.
Chongzhen and the courtiers didn't have the heart to play Tai Chi for a while, and at this moment, the eunuch Li Fengxiang rushed into the court and bowed down in front of the court with a happy face: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Congratulations to the Emperor! Jinzhou victory! Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, and Fang Zhenghua, the leader of the Guards, joined forces with Jinzhou Zu Dashou to encircle and annihilate the 50,000 army of Jiannu.
In addition to the slave chieftains Dolgon and Duoduo who saw that the situation was not good and broke through, the slave chieftains Yuetuo and Haoge had been captured alive by the guards and were being escorted into Beijing by Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Shanxi. Emperor Taiji of the slave chief was angry, and after being captured alive by my Ming army, he died of illness outside Jinzhou City.
Before this battle, the leader of the Guards of our Great Tomorrow Son, Fang Zhenghua, first quietly went out of the pass and rushed thousands of miles to attack Songshan, captured the slave chief Azig and the slave chief Abatai, and joined forces with the governor of Hong Chengchou, and then rushed to Xingshan Tashan, except for the slave chief Zierharang who fled into the mountains, the rest of the Jiannu army was either killed by our Ming army or captured.
The Songjin defensive line, which had been besieged by Jiannu for a year, officially defused the threat. After this battle, Jiannu's vitality was greatly injured, and he retreated across the Daling River, and he no longer had the confidence to enter the customs and plunder my Ming people. ”
The civil and military officials in the court were stunned, and the first assistant Zhou Yanru fell to the ground suddenly, shouting: "Congratulations to our emperor, Ming Wansheng!" Long live our emperor! ”
The civil and military officials reacted, knelt on the ground one by one, and shouted: "Congratulations to the emperor!" Daming Wansheng! Long live our emperor! ”
