Chapter 180: Good News Comes

The news of the great victory in Yiju City did not reach the Jingshi and the military aircraft until half a month after the victory, that is, at the end of September. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And then came the news of a series of military victories, such as the Dingzhou victory before the Yiju victory and the Yalu River victory that occurred immediately after.

After getting the joint report of Mao Wenlong and Chu Xianxian, Emperor Chongzhen was of course overjoyed, and in addition to a sigh of relief in his heart, he was even more happy.

Although Emperor Chongzhen knew what the results had been achieved in history, he was still stunned when he saw that Mao Wenlong's subordinates actually killed the 12th Bel Azig of Jianguo, and the eldest son of Erli, the 2nd Belle Amin of Jianguo.

And the General Political Envoy Department, the Military Aircraft Department, the Cabinet and the Celebrant Supervisor who handled this twist and turn also quickly boiled, and everyone rushed to tell each other and was jubilant.

Not only that, the envoy who was responsible for spreading the news of the great victory, and the military and political officials and businessmen and ordinary people in Lushun, Tianjin, Tongzhou and other places who passed through were also boiling.

For the Ming court, from the emperor to the hundred officials, this is definitely a long-lost victory.

Since the Battle of Salhu, the small Jianlu outside the northeast border pass of the Beijing Division has become a lingering nightmare for several emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Except for a few so-called great victories achieved by relying on Jiancheng, even the Liaodong Town Army, which is known as the number one border army, has never achieved a decent victory in any field battle.

Even hundreds of beheadings in the first battle can be called a great victory.

For example, Ning Yuan, who was passed down by later generations, was miraculous, and the actual number of beheaded captives was only more than 300 levels.

So much so that now, when the Ming army encountered Jianyu, it had not yet fought, and he was a little timid first. Even the army of Liaodong Town, which is known as a strong one, only dared to defend at the head of the city, relying on fortified cities and artillery for defense, and never dared to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight in the field, or take the initiative to attack Jianyu.

Such things happened again and again, and finally when the Ming army faced the Jianyu, the first thing that came to mind was not how to win by attacking, but how to avoid defeat, and gradually even began to get used to defeat and escape.

And when an army regards defeat and flight as a habit, or becomes a subconscious perception of war, then such an army, no matter how well-equipped, will not become a powerful army.

Therefore, no matter how much water and exaggeration is contained in the series of great victories and victories mentioned by Mao Wenlong in the report of victory, now this Chongzhen Emperor does not intend to study deeply, not only does not intend to seriously ask about it, but also gives him a grand reward.

Because, today's Emperor Chongzhen is very aware of the great significance of Dongjiang Town's victory. For today's Dongjiang Town, in the face of this Jianyu attack, there is no need for even a big victory, as long as the strength of Dongjiang Town is not greatly lost, even if it is a form of victory.

What's more, this time, not only Liu Xingzuo, Liu Xingzhi, and Liu Xingxian returned to the Ming Dynasty anyway, as in history, but also piggyback on Azig, the later Jianyu general, to death.

Not only did he kill Azig, but he also carried the red flag of Jianyu to basically cripple him.

Jianyu has not yet compiled the Eight Banners of the Mongols and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, so there are only the Eight Banners of the Jurchens in total.

There are only eight in total, and now one has been disabled, so you can imagine the meaning.

The red flag and the two white flags were set by the old slave Khachi before his death and left to the three brothers Azig, Dolgon and Duoduo.

It is precisely because of the three brothers and one mother, and at the same time mastering the three banners of the Eight Banners of Jianyu, that their strength is much stronger than Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, Amin, Mang Gurtai and others. So when the old slave hung up, Huang Taiji, together with Dai Shan and others, took advantage of the three brothers' years to force the biological mother of the three brothers, that is, the old slave's eldest concubine Abahai to be martyred.

And Huang Taiji exchanged the support of Daishan, and the bargaining chip used to trade with Daishan was to deprive ten Niu Lu from Azig's red flag and hand it over to Daishan's Zhenghongqi, and at the same time appointed Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo as Gushan Ezhen with red flags, and his second son Sakhalian as Gushan Ezhen with Zhengbai Banner.

At the same time, in exchange for the support of Amin and Mang Gurtai, ten Niu Lu were drawn from Dorgon's white flag and Duoduo's white flag, and Amin's blue flag and Mang Gurtai's blue flag were replenished.

After the deed was accomplished, Huang Taiji himself was not only able to inherit the throne, but also drew five Niu Lu from the two white flags of Dorgon and Duoduo to supplement the two yellow flags under his command.

It was after this change that Huang Taiji was able to temporarily stabilize the other three Baylors, successfully sit on his throne, and make himself the strongest faction among the Eight Banners.

Now the Eight Banners of the Jin State after the establishment of the Captivity, the full number of the total number of Niu Lu is 400 Niu Lu, and one Niu Lu is 300 people, so the entire Jian Yu Eight Banners, if you do not include the Bao Yi Han Army, a total of only 120,000 people.

Before the old slave Nuer Hachi hung up, the eight banners were evenly matched with each other, almost all of them were about fifty Niu Lu, and it was only two years since Huang Taiji inherited the throne, and the two yellow flags of Huang Taiji continued to grow, and the yellow flag had eighty Niu Lu, and the inlaid yellow flag also used seventy Niu Lu.

Correspondingly, Azig's inlaid red flags have changed from fifty oxen to forty, and half of them, that is, twenty ox records, are in the hands of the red flag Gushan Ezhen Yuetuo.

As for Dolgon, who was only sixteen years old at this time, the Zhengbai Banner originally had nearly fifty Niu Lu, but now there are only fifteen of them, and the others were either taken away by Huang Taiji and distributed to other banner owners, or they fell into the hands of Sakhalian, the second son of Daishan.

The same is true for Duoduo, there are few people with white flags, and after being snatched by a few older brothers, the remaining Dingkou is only fifteen Niu Lu.

For Jianlu, there are not many real Jianzhou Jurchen Dingkou, and the fall of each Niu Lu is a serious loss of their own strength for the banner owners of the Eight Banners.

This time, Azig, the owner of the Red Flag Banner, came to conquer Dongjiang Town with the twenty Red Flag Bull Records that he could master, and in the end not only died in Dingzhou City, but also brought the twenty Niu Records, which were also heavily injured and greatly damaged.

In addition to the other Mel Ezhen Dudu, who fled back with Amin intact with the three Niu Lu who stayed in Yiju City, 17 of the 20 Niu Lu that Azig took to cross the Jiangdong Expedition were all severely damaged, and some were even eliminated in an organized manner.

In the end, all the flags with red flags that were able to escape across the Yalu River and successfully escape back to the jurisdiction of Jianyu were only eight Niu Lu.

Counting up, the entire battle of Jianyu to conquer the Dongjiang River, before and after the red flag, lost at least 12 Niu Lu, that is, 3,600 people.

For the Red Banner, this is definitely a heavy loss that hurts the muscles and bones, that is, for the Jin State after the establishment of the Jin State, the loss of a large number of elite veterans of the Jianyu is not something that can be replaced by casually absorbing some Han and Mongolian tribal armies.

Therefore, these victories in Dongjiang Town, no matter what, can be called a rare victory of the Ming army against Jianlu since the Battle of Sarhu.

Of course, in contrast to the heavy losses of the red flag, Amin's losses of the blue flag are much smaller. For Amin, if it weren't for the unfortunate death of his eldest son, Elli, his loss of the blue flag would have been negligible.
