Chapter 233: Arrogant Manchu Generals

At this time, in the Manqing camp 40 miles north of the city, the prince of Manqingsu and the general of Jingyuan, Haoge was full of ambition and celebrated this great victory.

The night before yesterday, he appointed the commander of the Yellow Banner Protector Army, Ao Bai, who led the troops to Jinshanpu under the leadership of the rebel general Liu Jinzhong, and suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Great Western Army, and the Great Western Emperor Zhang Xianzhong was just discovered by Liu Jinzhong and after ten thousand arrows pierced the heart and was shot, Ao Bai led the department to launch a surprise attack on the 200,000 Great Western Army.

Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, the Great Western Army was leaderless, Zhang Kewang, Wang Zhaolin, and Yan Ximing each led their troops to flee, although a few generals once resisted stubbornly, but by noon after the news of Zhang Xianzhong's death spread, everyone was disheartened, and now they are scattering everywhere.

At first, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had few soldiers, and Ao Bai and others could only lead their troops to rush back and forth, and by noon, Haoge led the brigade to kill one after another.

At this time, when the news of Zhang Xianzhong's death spread, everyone had no determination to fight to the death, and those who lost their armor one by one scattered everywhere

The Han people are like a herd of cattle that have lost their heads, and after no strong person leads them, everyone can only take care of themselves and scatter the beasts, and they dare not fight with the invincible Eight Banners army at all.

From this point of view, the decapitation battle of Phoenix Mountain was only a successful decapitation battle, and the Great Western Army had already been defeated, or collapsed, by the time the barbarian Qing launched a full-scale attack.

This is also the reason why the beheaded Great Western Army was able to kill Zeng Ying, the general of the Ming Army, to occupy Chongqing, and why the Great Western Army was able to transfer to the Yunnan-Guizhou region and establish a solid local government based in Kunming.

The Qing army, which won the victory in the decapitation battle of Phoenix Mountain, although it was like no one in Sichuan (there are historical records that Yang Zhan, the chief soldier of the Ming army, was defeated), but it was difficult to really control Sichuan, and then fought with the Ming army in Sichuan for 14 years, resulting in the Sichuan massacre at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

As a martial artist, the Manchu Jingyuan general Haoge of course did not understand his mistakes, looking at the fleeing crowd, while ordering the Chinese army to protect the commander Ao Bai to lead the troops to clean up the battlefield, and ordered the Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Tun Qita to clean up the battlefield, the Mongolian Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen Ma Laxi, and the two thousand Han troops under the Gushan Ezhen Bayan Division, and the green battalion generals Gao Mingzhan, Li Guoying, Bai Yongfu, Liu Jinzhong and others led the soldiers and horses to pursue the fleeing enemy everywhere.

Seeing that he was assigned such an errand, Ao Bai was quite unhappy, especially when he saw that the generals were leaving, and he complained to Hauge repeatedly.

Hauge smiled slightly, and after letting Ao Bai walk in, he whispered, "Why are you so ignorant? Zhang Xianzhong has been in the Central Plains for more than ten years, it can be said that he is rich and rivals the country, you can help me find out if I can find gold and silver artifacts, with these things, the two yellow flags will have the day to get ahead. ”

Huang Taiji is so majestic in the living two yellow flags, but since the regent of Dolgon, he has continuously divided and attacked the ministers of the two yellow flags, and the ministers Tan Tai, He Luohui and others have sued Haoge for his troubles, and Haoge was once demoted to the king of the county, which made the ministers of the two yellow flags quite dissatisfied.

It is rumored in the world that Prince Azig of England has seized Li Zicheng's huge wealth, and Zhang Xianzhong, who is as famous as him, should be a lot.

Thinking of this, I asked people to search again and again, and after searching all over the mountains, there were not many valuable treasures on the mountain except for the chestnut trees that were sawn into sections.

Ao Bai interrogated a few captives, and when he heard that there might be a treasure hidden in the chestnut tree, everyone was overjoyed, and when they opened it, they saw white silver and glittering jewels one after another.

According to simple statistics, there are a total of 2,000 short chestnut trees, each of which has 1,000 taels of silver, and a carriage can pull 40 such short chestnut trees, so there are 2 million taels of silver.

There were 800 chestnut trees with long roots, gold and jewelry, and more than 4 million taels of silver were seized after the First World War.

Seeing so much wealth, Haoge was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Aobai, who stood down: "Aobai, I have developed so much, I can't imagine that the rogue has so much wealth, it's really incredible."

With the money, we have the strength to fight Dolgon. Since entering the customs, Dorgon has been like a usurper, and we must not be defeated by the other side. ”

Ao Bai said greedily: "Prince Su, after the two white flags entered Jiangnan, they have gained a lot, but they have never reported the seizure of gold, silver, jewelry or anything, and when the time comes, we can tell the other generals that they have only seized hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

At that time, Zhuge Liang guarded Xichuan and forced Sima Yi to lose consecutive battles. In that year, the Mongolian Khan Meng Ge went south and was killed by the Song soldiers, and the army was defeated in Diaoyu City.

Dolgon has listened to a lot of commentary, and this time the prince entered Sichuan, because he wanted to see the prince's jokes, and even more so because he wanted to consume the strength of the two yellow flags and the blue flag.

Unexpectedly, after our luck was like this, Zhang Xianzhong's head was killed among the ten thousand troops, causing his 100,000 army to break in half a day. ”

When Hauge heard this, he patted Aobai on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

In the evening, news came from various departments on the front line one after another, and the Great Western Army was now fleeing in the direction of the birds and beasts, and the pursuit of various units had gained a lot, and they were all overjoyed.

At the time of the lamp, the chief soldier Bai Yongfu stumbled in, saw Haoge kneeling down and said: "Lord Wang, the last general is incompetent and killed by the volunteers."

There was a general under the last general who was very reckless, and led more than 1,000 men and horses to pursue all the way, but he was ambushed by the volunteers, and a fire, and less than 100 of the nearly 1,000 brothers came back alive. ”

Haoge was shocked in his heart, and said from his seat: "It's Yang Lin, this, how is this possible?" Tell me, what's going on? ”

Bai Yongfu cried and finished speaking intermittently, and everyone was shocked.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ao Bai analyzed: "Lord Wang, the day before yesterday, Vice General Liu said that Zhang Xianzhong and Yang Lin confronted each other in this Phoenix Mountain.

This green battalion has become more and more bold since following our army, and it dares to go deeper into the enemy's territory for more than 20 miles, not to mention that their green battalion army, even our Manchurian Eight Banners have to weigh it, so it seems that it is normal for this green battalion to be ambushed. ”

After the big victory, Hauge was angry in his heart, but now when he heard Nikan say this, his face sank and said: "You Han people are just not enough to do more than defeat, our army just shot Zhang Xianzhong, what a feat it is to defeat 200,000 soldiers and horses, I can't imagine that the scenery is ruined by this guy, it is really disappointing." ”

Immediately, Bai Yongfu was dragged out and beaten with fifty military sticks to relieve the resentment in his heart.

Belenikan doesn't see it that way, Nikan is the eldest son of Lao Nu who loves Xinjueluo? Chu Ying's third son, but after his father was executed by Lao Nu because of his disagreement with the ministers and princes, Chu Ying's family was in an embarrassing situation within the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Although Nikan was Dolgon's nephew, he was two years older than the other party, and when he grew up, he followed Dordor, Dolgon, and Azig on many expeditions, and was regarded as a close confidant. (In his later years, Dolgon asked Nikan and other three Manchu princes to take care of the affairs of the six ministries, and Nikan hid his weapons after Dolgon's death)

This time, Hauge led his troops to the west to conquer Xichuan, and Dolgon specially ordered Daishan's grandson Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County, and his nephew Belenikan to go on the expedition together.

The Aobai array beheaded Zhang Xianzhong, and the 100,000 Western Army collapsed within a day, and its limelight was far beyond Duoduo and Azig, which made Nikan quite unconvinced.

Now when I heard that the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion had been wiped out by a fire of the Volunteers, I could imagine the anger in my heart.

Thinking of the fact that it is often said in the commentary that Xichuan is an outstanding person, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan and forced Sima Yi not to fight.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongol army marched southward, and the Mongol Khan Meng Ge died in the Diaoyu City.

Although this entry into Sichuan was surprisingly smooth, Haoge was arrogant, and divided his troops with Luo Luohun and Beile Mandahai of Yanxi County in Lizhou (today's Guangyuan), and approached CD along the Golden Bull Road all the way, while Haoge led the main force to fight a decisive battle with the Great Western Army and the Volunteer Army.

Thinking of this, Nikan broke out in a cold sweat on the back of his head, stood up and arched his hand: "Prince Su, the day before yesterday, Vice General Liu said that Yang Lin's volunteer army was our fierce opponent in Sichuan.

Xichuan is an outstanding person, Zhuge Liang was tired of Sima Yi when he went out of Qishan, no matter what, we must be cautious. ”

Haoge glared at Nikan, shook his head and said: "The commander of our army drove straight into and killed Zhang Xianzhong, defeated his 200,000 soldiers and horses, and killed more than 10,000 men and horses.

Bai Yongfu was killed alone, this is just a small episode, what do you mean by mentioning this today? ”

Everyone is Nurhachi's grandson, but because of the huge difference in status due to different backgrounds, he had the heart to remind the other party that he didn't appreciate it at all, thinking of this, Nikan sighed and said: "Lord Su, no matter what, I still divide the army."

After Meng Ge occupied Lizhou, he divided his troops and finally defeated Diaoyu City.

Now the prince has defeated the Great Western Army, but that Yang Lin is a powerful character, for the sake of prudence, he still ordered Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County, and Bel Manda Hai to lead his troops south, so that Yang Lin could taste the power of our Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry. ”

Glaring at Nikan fiercely, Hauge was annoyed in his heart, that Dolgon was insidious and cunning, this time Irikawa arranged for Luo Luohun, Nikan, and Mandahai three cousins to monitor him by the side, and came out from time to time to remind him kindly.

Thinking of this, Hauge said arrogantly: "Nikan, this king doesn't need others to talk nonsense when he uses soldiers.

You will blow Yang Lin like a god, just like you boasted about Zhang Xianzhong in the past, who"

Seeing that the two sides had grievances against each other, Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County, came out to persuade him: "Liu Jinzhong's general Yang Lin will speak the righteous army to the gods, this king is not talented, and he is willing to lead a partial division to the south to capture Yang Lin alive, so that he can taste the power of my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry." ”

Haoge said with a smile: "Everyone, since entering the customs, our Eight Banners have been invincible and invincible, and the giant Kou Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are now in different places, and the Ming army is insignificant."

Yang Lin took advantage of our army's lone army to set up an ambush and set up a small setback for this green battalion soldiers and horses, but as long as my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry arrived, it was okay for these Ming troops to open the city and surrender, otherwise we would only have to slaughter the city.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Han people have always been cowardly by nature, and the reason why Li Zicheng fought from Xi'an to Beijing within three months was the slaughter of the city after the destruction of the city without opening the door to surrender after announcing the three-way drum.

The reason why Duoduo was able to easily capture the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River was because he killed in Yangzhou for ten days, and Yang Lin would also sacrifice the city after the invincible Manchurian Eight Banners arrived. ”

Bellenica reminded: "Lord, although Zhang Xianzhong was given the head, his main force has not suffered the slightest loss, and now fleeing to various places will inevitably become a hidden danger in the future.

Now Yang Lin led tens of thousands of volunteers to entrench in the city of Shunqing dozens of miles away, how can others sleep under the couch, it is better to concentrate on the onslaught of the volunteers, and then attack everywhere after the defeat of the volunteers, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

In addition to Nikan's words, the general soldier Li Guoying also implicitly put forward various warnings, when the Mongols entered Sichuan, they divided their troops after controlling Lizhou (after Guangyuan), and then divided their troops after controlling Shunqing, but they encountered the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty under the Diaoyu City and failed to attack the city, and finally the Mongolian Khan was actually killed by the artillery fire on the city, and the 100,000 Mongolian army collapsed.

This made everyone laugh, and Hao Ge shook his head again and again: "My Eight Banners athletes are good at field battles and are not good at attacking cities, and now Zhang Xianzhong has given the head, and the whole Sichuan is shaking."

We should take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attack everywhere and defeat the remnants of the Great Western Army and the remnants of the main force of the Ming Dynasty, so as not to attack one city after another in the future.

Nikambel and General Liu said that the volunteers were amazing, and we only need to send a partial division to attack it with all our might, and we must not delay the fighters because of this, so I am afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”

When everyone heard this, they applauded loudly, just like the arrogant and arrogant Japanese generals in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and even after the victory, they did not take the Ming army in their eyes.

Everyone thinks that the Ming army is good at defending the city and clumsy in field battles, and all roads are attacking in different ways.

Besides, the area of the four (Sichuan) is very large, if after defeating the main force of the Great Western Army, it is still a cautious march step by step, so that not only will the Ming army have the opportunity to regain its strength, but also get the Ming army that has been repaired and relieved to pounce on a comprehensive counterattack, and at that time to annihilate the main force of the Ming army in Sichuan, I don't know that it will be the year of the monkey.

When the Japanese army invaded Si (Sichuan), it also adopted the strategy of dividing the troops, and after occupying Lizhou (today's Guangyuan), the Mongol Khan Meng Ge divided his troops and horses along the Jinniu Road to the CD), and personally led the main force to connect with Baoning and Shunqing.

After capturing Shunqing Mansion, he divided his troops again and sent all the way to attack Suining County in Tongchuan Prefecture (the county where the ruling was located in the county of the day, which is today's Santai County, the county where Xie Na was born), and Meng Ge led the main force south along the Jialing River and approached the Diaoyu City in Hezhou.

Just as modern warfare is greatly affected by transportation, in ancient times operations were also affected by transportation (long-distance operations often required several times the number of grain and grass transport personnel of the combat troops), although the Qing army rushed thousands of miles to get grain on the spot, but just like the Japanese invaded China, the main force mostly relied on communication arteries, and would not go deep into the poor countryside.

Considering the current situation of the four (Sichuan) post stations and official roads in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army adopted the strategy of dividing troops to pursue, and a part of the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry led by the generals of the Eight Banners pursued the Liukou in all directions with the cooperation of the Green Battalion generals and attacked the surrounding prefectures and counties.

And these, the most important ones include the following directions:

Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County, the commander of the Yellow Banner, Wu Shoujin, the commander of the Han Army, and the general soldier Ma Huabao, and Zhang Desheng continued to lead their troops down the Golden Bull Road to occupy the CD), and attacked southern Sichuan.

The Prince of Su Haoge and Belenikan led the Manchurian Zhenglan Banner to lead Tunqita, the Mongolian Eight Banners Malashi, the Han Army Zhenglan Banner to lead Bayan, and the general soldiers Gao Mingzhan, Bai Yongfu, and Liu Jinzhong to enter Shunqing along the official road to eliminate the Volunteers.

In history, after the defeat of Zhang Xianzhong, the Qing army also used the strategy of dividing troops to attack everywhere to pursue and suppress the fleeing rogues.

This is actually a tactic often adopted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty after entering the customs, with the increase of soldiers and horses, in order to control the soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion, they are often monitored by the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners during the battle.

As everyone analyzed, although the volunteers have become famous in recent years, how can they be the opponents of the Manchurian army?

Even if the battle is unfavorable, the main force of the Manchu Qing can gallop back and forth, how can the volunteers succeed?

Seeing that the generals in the tent could not hide their excitement, Haoge raised his right hand and mobilized: "Zhang Xianzhong gave the head, and the 200,000 Western Army collapsed, this is a sign of God blessing me in the Qing Dynasty."

Ladies and gentlemen, the summer in the south is very hot, and now we are going out to attack everywhere, just hoping that the various ministries can solve the remnants of the armed forces in the southwest before the summer comes, and then everyone can return to the north to escape the summer. ”

The main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was born in the north, and was not at all adapted to the humid and hot weather in the south.

Dividing troops and advancing has always been a taboo for soldiers, but I didn't expect that Hauge would actually make a strategy of dividing troops and adventuring now, Belenica hurriedly admonished: "General, Yang Lin can expel Zhang Xianzhong with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and before he officially engaged, his vanguard has killed hundreds of my green battalion generals, so it can be seen that its strength should not be underestimated, and we still have to be safe." ”

When Haoge heard this, he was angry in his heart, glared at Heluo and shook his head and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Courageous, Nikan admonished: "General, for the sake of safety, the last general thinks that it is better not to divide the army.

You can make Luo Luohun, the king of Yanxi County, lead his subordinates to move closer to us, annihilate the volunteers together, and then slowly advance"

As soon as everyone heard the commotion, Duoduo's department went straight to the south of the Yangtze River, captured Emperor Hongguang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and occupied the provinces of Nanzhili and Zhejiang.

Haoge's Manchurian Blue Banner, Mongolian Blue Banner and Han Army's Blue Banner this time, plus the 20,000 green battalion soldiers and horses that cooperated in the battle, to deal with the local troops along the way, it can be said that with a thunderous blow, how could it be that the troops were divided and advanced?

Even if the battlefield is unfavorable, all the soldiers and horses are guarded by the Eight Banners of Manmeng, which can completely ensure the absolute safety of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

Seeing that everyone was gossiping, almost unanimously accusing Nikan, Hauge felt particularly comfortable, and let out several hearty laughs one after another.
