Long before the crossing, Zhu Zilong didn't know that he would cross, so he liked to read online novels. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the category of historical novels, the most written novels are about the Ming Dynasty.

At the time, there was also a hot controversy.

That is, if you are replaced as Emperor Chongzhen, can you pacify Jiannu and Li Zicheng?

In contrast, the demise of the two regimes of the Ming and Southern Song dynasties, Zhu Zilong was very aggrieved by the Ming Dynasty. This is not at all a matter of exhaustion, it is entirely a matter of the quality of the leaders. How many powerful dynasties in Chinese history have been destroyed by incompetent emperors!

Compared with the previous destruction of Eastern Rome by the Turks, it was not taken in one fell swoop. Rather, the two sides went through a total of 300 years of war from Manzikert in 1171 to the Battle of Constantinople in 1453.

Moreover, the Eastern Rome not only faced the attack of Turkey, but also had to defend against the invasion of France, the HRE, Hungary, Venice and other powers.

It can be described as a multi-line defense, not to mention the Black Death, which has experienced one-third of the European population, and in such a situation, it has lasted so long, and the Eastern Rome is very tenacious.

On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Qing Dynasty, from the eleventh year of Wanli (1583) when Nurhachi raised troops to the first year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty (1644) when the Ming Dynasty was in Beijing.

The rise of the Qing Dynasty has a history of 60 years, and in such a long period of time, the Ming Dynasty originally had a long enough time to maneuver and have several opportunities to reverse. But they were all lost in vain, such a mistake is unique in the history of the world!

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the number of troops reached 2 million at the peak, and when Rome was the strongest, the number of troops was not more than 200,000.

The population reached more than 100 million at its peak, and it was almost 200 million.

The level of technology had long since reached the age of firearms, and at the same time Europe had just begun to make great voyages. The strongest nomadic Turkish empire was defeated by Spain, Austria, and Poland.

The defeat of Daming is simply incredible!

This is like the American imperialism of later generations, which was still in full swing a few years ago. After four or five years, China suddenly perished, which is not scientific!

The Ming Dynasty had far more allies than the Later Jin, and the Ming had the support of the Mongols, Koreans, and even some of the Manchu Yehe clans. Although the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty increased dramatically after the unification, it did not surpass the vassal states of Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty around Korea.

Surrounded by three forces, Houjin can still sit big, so that the world has no diplomatic failure, and it is unique!

Donglin and the old-style literati, as well as the ideas of Confucius, have harmed the Chinese so deeply that they are simply the first in the world.

To say that Chongzhen wants to eliminate Houjin's strength, he is still very determined. However, this emperor obviously has no self-knowledge, and even Empress Zhang, a shield that Zhu Zilong has moved out now, is not as good as such a woman.

In the Battle of Salhu, the main force of the Qing Eighth Banner Army was 30,000, and the main force of the Ming Army was 140,000 (claimed to be 270,000), including about 10,000 Korean troops.

In the battle of Liaoshen, the Qing Eighth Banner Army was 40,000 people, and the Ming army Xiong Tingbi gathered 170,000 troops.

In the Battle of Guangning, the Qing Eighth Banner Army had 50,000 people and the Ming Army had 190,000.

In the battle of Ningyuan, there were 30,000 Qing Eighth Banner Army and 110,000 Ming Army.

In the Battle of Jinzhou, the Ming army was more than 100,000 (130,000 in the history books), and the Qing Eighth Banner Army was 50,000.

From the comparison of the number of historical wars above, we can see that the military energy of the Ming Dynasty far exceeded that of wild boar skin. Basically, a casual victory in a big battle can make Houjin, who is all soldiers in the country, completely perish!

Even if the Beijing division completely collapsed, there were still millions of Ming Dynasty troops in Jiangnan.

After the fall of Beijing, it is still possible to confront the North and the South, but it is really not possible, and it can also be ruled by dividing the river. The Song Dynasty can, why can't you TM the Ming Dynasty?

Even in the era of decline, the territory, national strength, and military strength all ranked first in the world. It surpassed the sum of Europe, but it quickly destroyed the country after 60 years. Let the Westerners lose their glasses!

In the original history, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not the time, so that the Han people missed the great voyage, lost the great era of territorial expansion, and missed the modern historical development road of the people's ideological emancipation!

Alas!

Just when Li Zicheng really set off, Zhu Zilong and the Ming Dynasty coalition army, which was far away near Shanhaiguan, fought equally up.

Dolgon appointed Prince Dai Shan as the general of Dingguo, and appointed Prince Yu Duoduo as the general of Pingnan. Ordered them to capture Jizhen fortresses such as Xifengkou, Lengkou, and Jielingkou, and lengthen the battle line.

This expedition can be described as a national dispatch in the true sense of history.

From the forty-third year of Wanli, Nurhachi formally established the Eight Banners system, and each cow recorded 300 nuclei. The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the younger brother dies. The Eight Banners are the unity of the soldiers and the people, the whole people are soldiers, they work in peacetime, they are conscripted in wartime, and they are equipped with ordnance, food and grass, which is a bit similar to the soldiers of the government and the soldiers of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

The representative of the head of each 300 households is the flag ding, and the remaining brothers and heirs are not on the military register for the time being, and ordinary people are called "Yu Ding"!

Historically, every time the Eight Banners went to war after the rise, they basically looted a lot, and Yu Ding was idle and enthusiastic.

When Huang Taiji was not dead, there were 792 Niulu in the Qing Kingdom, 410 of the Eight Banners of the Inner Manchurian, 218 of the Eight Banners of Meng, and 364 of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. There are about 92,000 banners in the Manchurian Eight Banners, 83,600 banners in the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and 82,000 banners in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty.

The 24 banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han are almost the number of soldiers, which is nearly 200,000.

Of course, unless there is an existential Armageddon, all flags will not be dispatched. This is the unspoken rule of military affairs, even Zhu Zilong, and he will not take away all the Zhu family troops in Shandong every time he fights.

With the end of Huang Taiji, and within a few years, Houjin made a misery for Zhu Zilong.

The Qing State suffered heavy losses, with more than 80,000 people killed in the Eight Banners of Manchuria alone, and the rest of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Outer Domains of Mongolia, and so on, suffered countless losses.

Not only that, but they also lost a lot of power in the outer Mongolian domain, although these people are not good at fighting, but it is still good to be cannon fodder.

For example, in the past, there were 648 Niulu in the Horqin Tribes, and 484 Niulu in Mongolia.

Before Zhu Zilong's forces rose, every time the Qing State conquered the war, they sent half of their troops, and the momentum was huge.

And then the egg!

Since Zhu Zilong's power was completed, except for the hardcore remnants of Horqin, most of the rest have broken away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty. Either they go their own way, or they want to fish in troubled waters, or they are close relatives of the Ming Dynasty, or they just dare to cooperate with them secretly.

Now, Dolgon has built Eight Banners Korea, Eight Banners Japan, and so on. I barely got the numbers back!

These Koreans, the Japanese are naturally the scum of war, but it is still feasible to be cannon fodder and act as temporary musketeers.

At present, there are 40 banners in Manchuria, Mongolia, Han, Korea, and Japan, and the number of soldiers has reached 150,000. That is, this time in cooperation with Li Zicheng, the number of soldiers on the Qing side.

…………

The price of all the things that came out of the house, that is, the Qing Kingdom, like Xiang Yu, died and was born.

In this way, the trapped beast fights, but it is also a super level of performance.

In addition to the soldiers, all the family members also came over, pushing grain and grass to carry heavy loads, handling seizures, and handling chores. So in general, you insist on claiming to the outside world that there are two or three hundred thousand troops, but in fact, the Qing State also said it in the past.

Zhu Zilong's white (phosphorus) grenades and some special items are not very large, and the battle is still fought with iron and blood and numbers.

You have been here and there for two months, and there have been many casualties.

Of course, the main casualties on the Ming side were the soldiers of the old-style army. In the same way, Houjin's side is also sacrificing cannon fodder!

No one can retreat easily, which gives Li Zicheng a chance.

For Zhu Zilong, after the Zhu family army at the border pass Li Zilong completed the task, according to his requirements, he would be transferred to Shanhaiguan and besiege the back of Shanhaiguan, then Houjin would be finished.

With such a joint attack on fine taxes before and after, great things can be accomplished.

That's why he's here, persistent, persistent, persistent. and let the queen move the capital and run away, just to let herself have no worries. and, by the way, those old-fashioned officials who disappointed him, all borrowed Li Zicheng's hands and washed them in blood.

In this way, most of the people who should die can die, and their reputation will not be too bad.

Why not?

With the cruelty of the war, there were still some doubts about whether Li Zicheng was sincerely cooperating with Houjin. As soon as I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had moved the capital to the south and ran away, there was a fanatical atmosphere up and down, and some fanatics even shouted: "The Southern Dynasty is dying, cooperate with the thieves, and the dynasty will be set today!" ”

The Eight Banners who insisted on it had cruel and violent eyes.

There is a strong bloody killing aura on their bodies, a bright helmet and bright armor, and the iron armor is worn outside, and the pieces of armor and leaves are all made of fine iron. Jing Ran is specially built to deal with firearm bullets!

The last 100,000 people of the Qing Dynasty lined up in formation, swords and guns like a forest, banners like a sea, using various terrain and war intentions, and have been fighting with the Ming army.

If it weren't for Zhu Zilong, at this moment, maybe the Ming coalition would have collapsed long ago.

It's just that...... His main force was temporarily dragged down like this!

In the military account, Zhu Zilong thought a little indignant.

Under the moonlight, Zhu Zilong looked at the direction of the Ming Jingshi from afar, and he was not worried about Li Zicheng at all.

The most terrifying thing about the thieves is that they are too good at running, and they are invincible in guerrilla warfare. After all, there are no thieves gathered, only thieves scattered!

They joined forces to attack the capital, and when the army returned to the division, they were just wiped out and completely solved the problem of the Ming Dynasty's henchmen.
