I don't know if it's because of the flapping of the wings of my butterfly, which traveled to the Ming Dynasty, the history of this time and space seems to have changed. [Full text reading]

This change may not have been obvious at the beginning, but as he became more and more integrated into the Ming Dynasty, this butterfly effect became more and more violent.

Especially after the victory of the Battle of Botou Town, which did not appear in real history, the Qing army of Yue Tuobu has not taken Jinan until now because it does not have the experienced firearms and assistance of the Han army banner.

You know, in real history, this big city didn't survive for a few days before it fell.

And after the fall of Jinan, it was an unprecedented massacre. Then there was a plague in the city, and smallpox was epidemic. In addition, the Qin army stationed in the Jingshi area began to march towards Shandong, and since Jiannu had gained a lot and achieved its goal, he had no interest in fighting with the Qin army again. Therefore, soon, the three-way Qing army converged in Jinan and returned north one after another.

A war that lasted nearly half a year ended in the Ming Dynasty by the Qing soldiers completely without any fighting spirit.

In this battle, the Ming Dynasty gathered the army of six towns, plus two elite troops of the Tianxiong Army and the Qin Army. In the end, it ended with the complete annihilation of the Tianxiong army, the fall of a provincial capital, and the loss of armor by the army of the six towns. In this battle, the Ming Dynasty dispatched all the troops that could be dispatched, but it ended like this. fully exposed the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, and made Jiannu stunned to find that the Ming Dynasty, which seemed to be a behemoth, was not so unbearable, but in fact, it was so simple to destroy this old empire.

This also made the upper echelons of Manchuria suddenly wake up: in fact, we can also replace the Ming Dynasty and rule the world's largest and most fertile empire.

It is precisely because of the battle in Botou Town that Jinan has not fallen into the hands of Jiannu now, and the massacre has not happened.

How can I grasp this huge change?

Will it find an opportunity to reverse the current situation that is extremely unfavorable to the Ming army in one fell swoop?

Sun Yuan's mind seemed to have opened a water and land dojo, and there were chaotic thoughts rumbling.

……

Seeing Sun Yuan bowing his head and thinking, Huang You didn't dare to disturb, and slowly withdrew from the tent of the Chinese army.

As soon as I went out, I drove to Yu Xiang with lunch.

Huang You hurriedly waved his hand at him: "Yu Xiang, the general is thinking about something, don't bother." ”

"But sir, this lunch ......"

Huang You: "Don't send it in, the general has more important things than eating." With his temperament, you won't be shy about eating it even if you send it in now. ”

"Then I'll wait outside here."

……

"No, I still haven't found any opportunities!" Sun Yuan shook his head and sighed: "Maybe my consideration of the problem is limited after all, or maybe I really have no military talent, but I can't smell the breath of victory in a star and a half." The scale of the Ningxiang Army is too small, and it is only a small-scale local war, and it is not used to building from a high position. ”

"No matter from the point of view of the strength and combat effectiveness of the two armies, Jinan is bound to fall? Then, if you want to get meritorious service, maybe you can only kill enough in the city and rob enough, and return to the north...... Could it be that I, Sun Yuan, watched the people all over the city become the souls of Jiannu's swords, and could not do anything? ”

"The pain of the traverser is that they know what they will release, but they can't do anything about it. If this is the case, it is really better to be like other border troops who don't know anything, at least they can ask for peace of mind. ”

"Moreover, the political impact of the fall of Jinan is too great. When the Qing troops retreated, it was not known how many officials and generals would move. Moreover, even if the Ningxiang Army made more contributions at that time, what could it do? ”

Sun Yuan only felt a headache, and his body was really hot.

His internal injuries were not completely healed, and now his left hand was still hanging from the splint, and his head began to dizzy again due to the sudden noise in his heart.

"If nothing else, with the current situation, it is estimated that Jinan City can only hold for another half a month, even without the assistance of the Han army's firearms battalion, the result is unlikely to change much."

"That is to say, at most half a month, after taking Jinan, Jiannu will return to the north. The battle of Shandong is coming to an end. ”

"No, return to the north...... Beigui ...... The reason why Jiannu returned to the north was that in addition to the fact that they had robbed enough and killed enough, in addition to the fact that the Qin army had already left for the Shandong battlefield, there was another biggest reason......"

Sun Yuan stood still suddenly, took a breath of cold air in his mouth, and muttered, "That is, Yue Tuo died of smallpox in Jinan." ”

"Yue Tuo is Huang Taiji's henchman and right-hand man, while Dolgon, Duoduo, and Azig brothers have never been fond of the Qing emperor. Therefore, this time Jiannu came to the south, Huang Taiji divided the Qing army into two armies, left and right, and let Yue Tuo lead the army alone, and there was inevitably no idea in his heart to let them check and balance each other. ”

After Yue Tuo died of illness, the Jiannu Right Route Army had no commander, and fearing that it would be embezzled by the Dolgon brothers, so they simply took the lead in retreating. The sudden death of the commander of the first army will inevitably cause chaos. If you pinch the time and lead the troops to assault, at this time, it may be my grandson's chance to achieve great achievements. ”

Sun Yuan giggled, this laugh touched the fracture of his left hand, and a layer of hot sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead: "Traverser, if you don't use the prophetic skill to the extreme, then my Sun will be a pig!" ”

Smallpox, smallpox, what a good thing.

But this thing was a lingering nightmare for the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yue Tuo died of smallpox, and Duoduo would die of smallpox in the future. It is said that Emperor Shunzhi also died of smallpox, and the monk is just a wild history. The Tongzhi Emperor's death from smallpox is controversial because some believe that he died of some venereal disease, and the royal family claimed that he died of smallpox because of his face. However, many historical sources confirm that he did indeed have smallpox.

As for Emperor Kangxi, he also had smallpox when he was a child, and he was lucky not to die, and he fell with pockmarks on his face.

"By the way, as long as the timing is good, Yue Tuo's death can also become the credit of my Sun Yuan. Hehe, since the Ming Dynasty used troops against Jiannu, no one has killed a prince Baylor on the battlefield! ”

Sun Yuan came to his senses, walked to the door suddenly, and shouted: "Quick, go and call Chen Tieshan for urgent military affairs." ”

"Yes, General. Your lunch ......" Yu Xiang happened to be standing at the door of the tent.

"Haha, don't you say I forgot, send it in, General Ben is really a little." Sun Yuan burst out laughing.

"Yes, the villain is going to call General Chen." Yu Xiang hurriedly asked people to bring lunch to Sun Yuan, and ran to find Chen Tieshan like a smoke. These days, since Sun Yuan was injured, and all towns came to beg for soldiers and horses, General Sun has been depressed, and he has been infected, and the atmosphere of the Ningxiang Army has also become dignified.

Now that Sun Yuan has returned to his previous hearty and gentle appearance, Yu Xiang also feels very happy.

Chen Tieshan's position in the Ningxiang Army is very special, he is the old man of the Shanxi Datong Army, after Fei Hong became Sun Yuan's subordinate, with the growth of the Ningxiang Army, he also became one of the veterans in the army.

It is said that the prestige of such a character must be extremely high.

However, the military judge is only a position that offends people, so to speak, the enemy is full of military camps. In the past few years, I don't know how many non-commissioned officers and even officers have eaten his hangings and hated him to the bone.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for Sun Yuan's support, General Chen might have been beaten by many people with sacks.

There are also old buddies who joined Sun Yuan's command in Fengyang at the beginning to remind Chen Tieshan: "Old Chen, why bother, look at these years." Those old brothers at the beginning, as long as they made some contributions, who was not a officer above the integrity level, such as the young people like Donkey and Wen Laosan, they all became guerrilla generals. But you're still a little military judge, aren't you panicking? This is a man, sometimes you can't take it too seriously. ”

Chen Tieshan smiled, objected to this old buddy who memorized the regulations in the army, and said this in front of you, what do you want to do, do you want to lead the army?

As he spoke, as soon as he turned his face, he had to deduct his military salary.

"Is this man crazy?" Gradually, the old brothers in the army no longer had dealings with Chen Tieshan.

The judge was not impressed, but boasted of being a loner.

It doesn't matter what the official position is, but what I enjoy the most is the feeling of having the power of life and death in my hands. The entire Ningxiang Army, except for General Sun and Mr. Huang, saw a certain person, no matter how high the official position was, they all had to tremble. It's a good feeling!

This time the battle situation was so urgent, General Sun Yuan suddenly summoned him, Chen Tieshan suddenly realized that there must be a major task to explain to himself, and immediately raised his spirit and rushed over.

When he entered Sun Yuan's Chinese army tent, he saw Sun Yuan eating.

He was in a very good mood, and even drank two glasses, with a ruddy smile on his face: "General Chen is here, do you want to come with two bowls of wine to warm up." ”

Chen Tieshan stiffened his face: "General, the army can't drink alcohol during the battle, it's written into the regulations." ”

Sun Yuan laughed and threw away the cup in his hand: "You are a person, you are too serious and impersonal." That's it, you have to do with so-and-so, whatever you want. However, I remembered something important and wanted to explain it to you. ”

Chen Tieshan: "General, please command." ”

Sun Yuan: "Let me ask you, do you have a way to send Xizuo into the army of Jiannu Yuetuo?" ”

Chen Tieshan thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

"I'll just say it," Sun Yuan was overjoyed: "Tell me." ”

Chen Tieshan: "The general forgot that in the last battle of Botou Town, we captured a lot of prisoners. ”

Sun Yuan: "No, it seems that those prisoners have been killed by the generals in the army." ”

"No, there are a few left." Chen Tieshan said: "The army fought hard, and it is understandable that they want to kill traitors to vent their anger. However, the last general thinks that it is the vegetables that are pulled to the plate. There are still a few literate people in the Han army who know how to use firearms, and they can be saved. Therefore, the last general selected five people from them to stay, and prepared to send them to Master Yue and Master Xuan to use after the war. The general can rest assured, these five generals have been carefully interrogated, and they have no relatives and family members in Liaodong, and they have also been inspected, so they will not be disheartened. If the general wants to send a fine work to Yue Tuo, one of them is quite clever and can be used. ”

"Well done." Sun Yuan was overjoyed, "However, it would be nice if the fine work sent over could be arranged by Yue Tuo's side." "Yes, if you want to accurately grasp Yue Tuo's condition, it is best to place this fine work beside him. Otherwise, the illness of the commander-in-chief of the first army, and even when he died, is a big secret, how can ordinary soldiers know.

If it is delayed, Sun Yuan will miss that fleeting opportunity.
