Chapter 295: The Final Blow to Huang Taiji (Part II)
In September of the third year of Chongzhen, in the early autumn of Liaodong, the mountains were yellow, and the time for harvest came. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only in Shengjing City, Huang Taiji has already lifted several times of the imperial case, the news from the front, Rui Wang Zhu Changhao and the three armies, surrounded by three missing one, according to the strategic requirements, to drive them further north to the Great Xing'an Mountains.
In the past, the place north was the residence of the Beishan Jurchen tribe, which was five months of frost-free a year. There, not to mention growing crops, even grazing is a problem.
Once you go there, the Jurchen Eight Banners will not be able to develop for a hundred years. But if you don't go north, then what awaits the Jurchen Eight Banners will be eaten and wiped clean by Zhu Changhao.
Just when Huang Taiji was tossing and turning for the future of the millions of Jurchen tribes and was anxious, Zhu Changhao decided to spend a month to end this matter in Liaodong before the end of October.
In Jinzhou City, Zhu Changhao was surrounded by Song Xiance, Liu Zheng, Fu Zonglong, Sun Chuanting, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, Lu Xiangsheng, of course, Yuan Chonghuan and Zu Dashou, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Yansui, also came, and it was simply a gathering of generals.
Just inside Jinzhou City, it can now be said that the people of the next twenty years of the Ming Dynasty are here, but they also have a common center, that is, Zhu Changhao, the commander-in-chief of the Jurchen destruction this time. As the so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the development of the past three years, the king of Da Mingrui has become an invincible force, as the center, the weight is leveraged.
This time, 100,000 people participated in the Jiliao Border Army, and Li Dazui, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, also led 50,000 people to camp in Zhenjiang Mansion on the Yalu River, and used small warships to block the Yalu River.
The southeast, southwest, and northwest have been surrounded, and Zhu Changhao and others have all the deployments in place to really drive the slave chief Taiji to the northernmost side. If Huang Taiji is like development, then there is only a way to go west and earn resources and opportunities for survival with the Rakshasa Kingdom.
On September 8, the third year of Chongzhen, on this day, in Jinzhou City, the last pre-war meeting was held in Jinzhou General Military Mansion, Zhu Changhao sat in front of the General Military Mansion's point general hall, Liu Zheng spread out the latest territory map of Liaodong, and began to let everyone speak freely.
As Zhu Changhao's think tank, Song Xiance first said in a timely manner, "Lord Wang, this last stop against the slave chieftain, we must be able to achieve the speed of the soldiers, and advance by land and water." The Beiyang Naval Division has now entered the boundary of Yaozhou from Yingkou. Presumably two days later at the latest, they entered Haizhou, Anshan, then entered Liaoyang along the Taizi River, and finally entered Qinghe Mansion to attack Hetuala. This Hetu Ala is the Jurchen Lao Village, attack the Lao Village in the south, and then you can transfer part of the troops of Dongjiang Town near the Yalu River to the north. Then, like driving cattle and sheep, the troops with the blue flag and the blue flag were driven to Shengjing, Fushun, and Salhu, and let them assemble on the Hunhe River.
Lord Wang, this is the method of driving the south and then the north, but it is difficult to say whether Huang Taiji will gather the last strength of the Jurchens in Shengjing to fight against the Great Ming soldiers.
After listening to Liu Zheng's route, Zhu Changhao felt that it coincided with his own, for the southern line, the Jurchens of Hetuala, it must be driven out, because the southern route can be said to be the grain production base of the Jurchen Eight Banners, after all, the altitude is low, the terrain is flat, compared to Tieling, Kaiyuan, there is still a big difference. Besides, it is still the period of the Xiaoice River, and the difference in latitude at one point is a world of difference.
There was no objection to Song Xiance's plan, Zhu Changhao set his eyes on Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng immediately clenched his fists and got up and said, "Lord Wang, and all the masters, according to our news, in the entire Eight Banners, there are now 100,000 banners, and there are 100,000 banners of the Han Eight Banners. Combined, that's 200,000 people. These 200,000 people are the last strength of Houjin. Once these 200,000 people are gone, Huang Taiji will not be able to fight with the Rakshasa Kingdom even if he reaches the Rakshasa Kingdom. ”
Since it has finally been proven, the power of this Houjin is integrated, that is, 200,000. But under Zhu Changhao's hands, the strength of each part has doubled, and it has exceeded 400,000.
For Huang Taiji and many Jurchen rulers, this Ming Dynasty forced Shengjing, perhaps the second Battle of Sarhu. But Huang Taiji's heart, always a little unstable, Wanli forty-seven years of the battle of Salhu, the local Ming official army is 110,000, Houjin is 60,000, the comparison of the two sides' forces, almost doubled, the problem is that now the Ming Dynasty seems to have become unrecognizable from before. The current Ming official army, especially those soldiers under King Rui's account, is simply a nightmare in the heart of the Eight Banners.
The musket they have in their hands, when they go out at once, they will fall one piece, and the mortar, which can hit directly into the chimney of your house, and the projectile will turn in the air. What is uncomfortable is that this projectile will also explode, and it will be a large piece when it explodes.
It's not enough to bully people with these, the oil bomb in the hands of King Da Mingrui (burning. Once ignited, the water could not be extinguished, and many people were directly burned alive.
On the battlefield, once the other party's people are burned alive, the blow to the morale of the army is even more uncomfortable than the dead mother.
These are not counting, the current sailor warship of Ruiwangfu, when there is no wind and people paddling, can even run, and the boat gang, as well as overtime, are all made of steel. Thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt that his situation was like the thing under his crotch, which was useless, once he encountered a thunder and fire, that is, he would surrender in minutes.
After obtaining this information, Zhu Changhao had already decided to launch an all-out offensive on the morning of 9 September.
Jinzhou is located in the Xiaolinghe area, and now according to the garrison city in front of the Liaodong General Army, there are only two cities left in the Dalinghe in front of Youtun and Dalinghe Fort.
In the east of the Daling River, Yizhou, Guangning, and Xipingbao are already in the hands of Zhenghuangqi, so to clean up the Huang Taiji, the horns of Yizhou, Guangning, and Xipingbao must be broken, so that they can face the southeast and merge with the Guanning Iron Cavalry to pull nails from Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou, and Anshan.
This way will be handed over to Zhao Shujiao to deal with, after all, in the past, Zhao Shujiao had a very good relationship with Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, and Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. The two sides will be able to merge together in terms of strategic actions.
Fu Zonglong and Sun Chuanting directly attacked Huang Taiji's lair, and they wanted to completely eradicate the Eight Banners.
On the morning of September 9, this day is the Double Ninth Festival, but this day, for the Ming Dynasty, is also the beginning of the elimination of local rebel forces. In Zhu Changhao's eyes, there will be a mainstream idea in the future, that is, to grow, grow, and grow.
Da Ming must have an orthodox idea, and the so-called other careerists, under the light of this orthodox thought, will collapse with a smile.
On September 9, Jinzhou City, outside the East Gate, on the platform.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the encirclement and suppression of the Jiannu Tartars is to protect our family and friends behind us, and to protect our Daming Sheji. Therefore, before you part, the king wants to hear your loud answer.
Do you have any confidence in the elimination of Jiannu? ”
"Yes"
"Do you want to restore the glory of the Ming Dynasty and let the dragon flag fly between the black water during the day, and Nu'er Gandu is north?"
"Think"
When the king heard everyone's heart-wrenching answer, he understood in his heart and was firm, this time he went out to encircle and suppress the Tartars, and it would definitely not be like the Battle of Salhu thirteen years ago, when tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were chased by the Tartars and driven to the north, and in the end more than 50,000 were killed or wounded. More than 50,000 good men of the Ming Dynasty finally merged with the black water and white mountains. This time, I don't want everyone to be arrogant. I hope that everyone can find the marquis immediately and get the pride and happiness of life. ”
Zhu Changhao didn't want to say too many sensational words, and when he was leaving, Zhu Changhao said to Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Fu Zonglong, and Zhao Shujiao, "They are all descendants of the same ancestor, when you pack up those tartars, for those bannermen who surrender and do not rebel, they are not allowed to kill, pretending to be military merits." In addition, the military discipline departments of all parts have done a good job of dealing with those who kill indiscriminately. Of course, for those who are fraudulent and have bad circumstances, the steel knives, firearms, and grenades in your hands are not vegetarian. ”
"Obey the prince's military orders."
The autumn wind blows, the war drums beat, I am Wang Bing, who am I afraid of. Just below the two cities of Guangning and Xiping, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhao Shujiao, and Zu Dashou stood under Xiping City, pointing at Haoge who was guarding Xiping City in front.
In Xiping City, Brother Hao has already sat down and prepared to flee, but 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry has quietly touched the east of Xiping City, which is the only way for Hao Ge to escape. In Jingshi, you escaped, then in this Liaodong territory, Haoge's final fate is to add some body fertilizer to the black soil.
Under Guangning City, Fu Zonglong and Sun Chuanting had already brought thousands of catties of rear-loading boring steel cannons and pushed them directly below Guangning. When hundreds of steel cannons, under the early autumn sun, exuded a palpitating light, when Abatai, who was defending the city, saw those steel cannons, he was already beating the drum in his heart, and he would flee after a while.
Sun Chuanting saw this, and understood in his heart that there were white flags in this Guangning City, and he scared these flagmen with white flags, and then let them flee back in panic, so that they could go to Shengjing City to disintegrate the army's heart.
Thinking of this, after Sun Chuanting and Fu Zonglong discussed it, they directly issued an order to carry out a vertical attack on Guangning City with 100 rear-loading steel cannons and more than 300 mortars.
When the projectiles were filled into the barrel of the cannon, with the sudden wave of the starting flag, 400 projectiles rushed directly into Quang Ninh City.
Then the second, third, fourth......, after twelve rounds of shelling, burning. The bullets were sent into Quang Ninh City through a large crossbow machine.
In an instant, the inside turned into a fiery purgatory, and the gray-faced Abatai, looking at the bannerman struggling in the sea of fire, gritted his teeth, and rushed towards Shengjing with the remnants of the defeated army.
