Chapter 1042: A Great Siege
readx; With the light of the fire in the Yellow Dragon Tent beating, Dolgon's face was reflected in the light and dark, making it even more sinister. He said unhurriedly www.biquge.info "Although the Han people have a population of 100 times more than us, there is no need to be afraid of a large number of people. If we can't organize an army that can compete with our Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, no matter how many people there are, it will be in vain, and sooner or later we will have to become obedient to our people. ”
"What are you talking about?" Mang Gurtai said angrily, "Now it's time to discuss how to fight!" ”
"Fifth brother, don't be impatient, I said this, of course, it has something to do with the combat strategy." Dolgon smiled disdainfully and said, "The emperor has entered the customs this time, fifth brother, do you think it is just to attack the city and plunder the land and capture the population?" Wrong, the emperor's move is called attacking the enemy and must be saved, and the real purpose is to annihilate the Shanhaiguan border army. It would be even better if the Xuanda border army could be annihilated by the way! ”
Seeing that Huang Taiji nodded approvingly, Dolgon continued proudly: "Fifth brother, think about it, but whenever we have a big victory over the Ming army, which time did we not first annihilate its main force in the field battle, and then take advantage of the situation to break through the isolated and helpless city with the army in despair?" After the battle of Salhu, we took Kaiyuan and Tieling lightly; The battles of Shenyang and Liaoyang were also to lure the enemy out of the city, and the enemy general was killed outside the city, resulting in no one commanding the Ming army, and it was crushed at the first touch; The Battle of Guangning was also a battle in Shaling, which broke the Ming army, and Wang Huazhen abandoned the city and fled.
"It's been a few battles, but the results are not ideal. In the battle of Ningyuan, Father Khan was wounded and withdrew his troops; In the battles of Dalinghe and Jinzhou, under our heavy encirclement, the Ming army was able to break through and leave. What does this mean? It shows that we can only annihilate the Ming army by forcing it to fight in the field, and it is logical to occupy the city later. And the Ming army has been defeated in successive battles over the years, and we have killed no less than 200,000, how many more can be fought? I'm afraid that there will be only tens of thousands of border troops left in Shanhaiguan. Now that Zhao Shujiao is dead, as long as we annihilate the armies of Mangui and Zu Dashou, the Han people will no longer be able to organize a well-trained army to confront us. At that time, we will be able to level the Central Plains in one go! ”
Dorgon's words caused everyone to nod their heads, and Mang Gurtai wanted to refute but couldn't, so he snorted angrily.
Huang Taiji saw that the goal of derogating Mang Gurtai had been achieved, and it was time to show his wisdom and wisdom, and finally spoke: "The old fourteen is right. If I wanted to attack Jingshi, I would have attacked it a long time ago, so why wait until today? If it is for the spoils of war, we can't transport all the hundreds of thousands of stone grain in Tongzhou alone, plus the gold and silver seized from nearby prefectures and counties, we don't need to besiege the Beijing division at all, just go directly to the division. The reason why the army besieged the city was to lure the Ming army to come to the rescue, and then annihilate it under the city.
"But so far, neither Shanhaiguan nor Xuanda has sent the Ming army. On the one hand, this is because the Ming army is cowardly, and on the other hand, it may also be that the pressure we put on the Beijing division is not big enough. So now I want to increase the siege of the city, so that the Ming Dynasty emperor is like a frightened bird. It is said that the Han people often use carrier pigeons to deliver news, the city is about to break, the Ming Dynasty emperor must give the border army a death order, so that the border army will not come! ”
"After discussing for a long time, don't you still want to attack the city with all your might!" Mang Gurtai rolled his eyes and said.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but be furious when he saw that Mang Gurtai was so disrespectful to him. But he was very deep in the city, but he smiled at Mang Gurtai and said: "The fifth brother has always been brave and good at fighting, how about the fifth brother preside over this siege?" In this way, in addition to the upper three banners, the lower five banners, the Mongolian eight banners and the Han army banner are all deployed by the fifth brother, and I want to see the fifth brother build miracles again! ”
Mang Gurtai couldn't guess Huang Taiji's thoughts, but when he heard that Huang Taiji handed over the military power that he had been thinking about for a long time, he was already overjoyed, and immediately agreed. He said in his heart, I don't care about your twists and turns, let me attack the city, I will attack it, I have to knock down the Jingshi!
The plan was decided, and Huang Taiji ordered someone to summon the generals of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Banner to come in. At this time, Yue Tuo cautiously interjected: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the Red Flag has been set to lure the enemy between the Jingshi and the Xuanfu, and the defenders of the Xuanfu have not been dispatched, but several of our squads have been attacked by the Ming army from nowhere. Although only two or three hundred people were lost, no trace of this Ming army could be detected, and the nephew was a little worried. ”
Huang Taiji had just dug a big trap for Mang Gurtai, and Mang Gurtai jumped in, so he was in a good mood. When he heard that only two or three hundred people had been lost, he didn't take it to heart and said lightly: "If there is a Ming army nearby, it will definitely come first to relieve the siege of the Beijing Division." I think your subordinates were too careless and were attacked by the Han people! That's it for attention in the future. ”
At this time, the generals of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Banner had already entered the account, and Huang Taiji told them about the decision just now, and asked Mang Gurtai to give a lecture to the generals. Mang Gurtai was not polite, and immediately said arrogantly: "In this siege, the main attack of this king's blue flag, the second brother's red flag, Yue Tuo's red flag, and Haoge's blue flag auxiliary attack. You don't have to make a big move, but just set aside ten oxen from each of you and put them under my account. As for the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Banner, from now on, they will be moved to the south immediately, and they will all be transferred to the south. There are three city gates in the south of the Beijing Division, Yongding Gate, Zuo'an Gate, and You'an Gate, and tomorrow I will attack the whole line, and those who break through the city gate first will be rewarded! ”
As soon as the words fell, Ulan, the leader of the Mongolian Yellow Banner, immediately said in a rough voice: "Lord Wang, Hu Zha is timid and afraid of death, every time he attacks the city, he will retreat first, you have to give them a strict order, whoever dares to retreat will be killed!" ”
As soon as Ulan said "Huza", the generals of the Han army banner all glared at him angrily. It turns out that this "Huzha" was originally a Mongolian transliteration of "buddy" in Shanxi dialect, and there was no derogatory meaning at first. Over the years, Jin merchants have repeatedly gone out of the customs to Mongolia and Liaodong to carry out smuggling trade, and in the process of trade, it is also indispensable to cheat and abduct and other profiteers, and the Mongolians have suffered a lot. Over time, the Mongols' term for these profiteers as "buddies" gradually evolved into a contemptuous term for all Han Chinese, "Huza".
In the Eight Banners system, the Han military banner was undoubtedly at the bottom, not only to be a slave of the Manchus, but also to be bullied by the Mongols. But the last time he attacked the city, Ulan not only whipped Tong Yangzhen with a leather whip in public, but also killed the defeated soldiers of the Han army banner without asking for instructions, which was really out of line, and Tong Yangzhen, Shi Tingzhu and other Han generals were very dissatisfied with him.
At this time, seeing that Wulan humiliated himself in public, Tong Yangzhen couldn't help it, and defended in a low voice: "The emperor, the prince, the slave has never been greedy for life and afraid of death!" The last time the city was attacked, the Han army of the minions was the yellow flag, but the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty was killed! ”
"Do you Huza know how to shoot arrows? Obviously we Mongols shot it to death! Ulan was immediately furious, grabbed Tong Yangzhen's neck and collar one step forward, and wanted to punch him.
"Don't make a fuss!" Mang Gurtai roared in a low voice, "Have a spiritual head, give this king to use to siege the city!" ”
Immediately after the meeting, the Qing army began to move on a large scale, gradually moving towards the southern city. Xie Sheng, who had been observing the enemy camp at the head of the city, hurriedly told Zhu Youzhen, who was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that the Tartars are going to attack the city on a large scale, and I will go to Yongdingmen immediately!" ”
