Section 501 Defeat is like a mountain
The new book "The Rise of Great Powers 1900" seeks collection.
――――――――――――
The Eight Banners are too scattered, or too greedy.
In fact, the Manchurians of later generations are the same, after the new China, in fact, they are just a household registration nation, completely different from the Mongols, without their own culture, even the language has been lost, and all cultural symbols have been lost to the nation, is it still called a nation?
At this time, in the vast land of China, there were small groups of Eight Banner soldiers everywhere, just like Dolgon said, even if they drove out, there would be no one left, only about 30% of the banner men in Beijing, only about 10,000 people in Ding Zhuang, and only 100,000 people in their families.
It's just that Dorgon has a big picture, but Azig doesn't.
"The prince has withdrawn. I can't keep it in this world. There are wars outside and inside the gates, when is it a head? ”
"Where to withdraw? Liaodong can't go back! ”
In the face of the persuasion of his subordinates, Azig, who had recently been defeated one after another, was annoyed.
"Go to Horqin, if you can't retreat to Mobei, can the Ming army still chase Mobei?"
The suggestion of his subordinates made Azig excited.
He can't fight this battle anymore, and every time he hasn't clashed, the other side will fight hundreds of shells, and they are in a mess, so that you can't speak.
Azig's army is now fighting completely different from the past, the wedge-shaped formation in the past, the flank outflanking tactics are not good at all, and the cavalry is very divided into battles, but the cavalry is scattered and fighting, and the other party is together like a hedgehog, so you can't speak.
Mounted archery is not so useful anymore. Met the Ming army in the past. After a few rounds of riding shots. They collapsed, in fact, they really couldn't shoot a few people, they all chased up and hacked to death with sabers.
But Yang Chao's Ming army is different, they don't retreat when they are killed, I heard that they dare to retreat, retreat one by one, kill one, and publish it in the newspaper.
If you die in battle, it's different, not to mention the generous pension. A temple was also built for worship, and it was also commended in newspapers.
One by one, these Han people became not afraid of death.
Azig also had cannons, but after a few battles, they were all scrapped, and Dolgon desperately cast cannons in Beijing, but he couldn't catch up with a few battles, and it was really impossible to fight without artillery.
Wang Pu went out of Kaifeng and forced him all the way to Luoyang.
"Why don't you cross the river and go to Shaanxi?"
Azig said that Xi'an still has several thousand troops of the Eight Banners.
"It's easy to go to Shaanxi, but it's hard to get out again."
The subordinate sighed.
"No, now the Ming army has not yet taken Beijing. We withdrew from the pass, and it was too late to be too late. ”
Azig had actually been tempted for a long time. As for Dorgon, he could only ask for his own blessings, even though they were brothers.
"Let's go, go to Shanxi! Out of customs. ”
Azig made up his mind that Shanxi is the enclosure of the Eight Banners, and there are also a group of banner people in Taiyuan and other places, and he plans to go out of the customs and go to the grassland to occupy a piece of the world.
Receiving the news that Azig had fled to Shanxi, Dolgon sighed deeply, knowing that defeat was decided.
In fact, he should have been defeated two years ago, but in that infighting in the Ming army, he firmly supported Hong Chengchou and successfully induced Sun Kewang to rebel.
At that time, Hong Chengchou said to Sun Kewang, who surrounded him outside the city, if the Northern Expedition wins, then the surname Zhu or Yang in the world has nothing to do with you, Sun Kewang, if the Northern Expedition fails, whether it is the surname Zhu or the loss of the army surnamed Yang, what harm will it do to your Sun Kewang?
Hong Chengchou used these two questions to let Sun Kewang annex Jingzhou for more than three months, and finally crossed the river to conquer Guizhou.
At that time, it seemed that the Ming army was defeated, but in the end, Dolgon was not able to expand much power, in fact, it was already poor, and the perennial war had long exhausted the potential of this nation.
Where to find Sun Kewang this time, now all the troops are deployed by Yang Chao, and there is no gap between them.
"Uncle, let's go, the barbarians have entered the city!"
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy walked in, and in a trance, Dorgon seemed to see the old Duoduo.
The person who came was the son of Dordor, named Doni, who had never had a son, and he was very fond of this nephew, and let him inherit the title of Prince Yu early.
"Let's go."
Dolgon nodded, he didn't have the habit of committing suicide if he failed, so although he didn't want to leave, he had already informed the bannermen in the city to prepare, and now that the city was broken, what were you waiting for.
"Uncle, shall we go back to Liaodong?"
Doni asked, he still had some longing for Liaodong, he entered the customs at the age of eight, and the impression of Liaodong was already blurred.
Dolgon sighed, "Can we go back to Liaodong?" Go to Mobei! ”
In addition to Zhao Kang and Zheng Yongwang blocking the Eight Banners in the Ningyuan area, Sun Changfu had already killed a circle along the Liaodong Peninsula from Congpi Island, detoured to the Niangniang Palace of the Sancha River, and then attacked northward, the target was close to Liaoyang.
At that time, the Ming army built dozens of fortresses here, but unfortunately they were all abandoned by the Qing army, otherwise Sun Changfu would have to do a lot of work.
After Dolgon escaped from Beijing, his troops divided into two routes, and let his people ride horses to Zhangjiakou all the way.
He himself took a thousand elite soldiers, but ran to Shanhaiguan, where he retracted the army that attacked Ningyuan, and then fled north from Duoyanwei's hometown to Mobei along the city wall.
Wang Pu chased Azig into Shanxi, and only stopped until Datong, and when he looked back, he saw that the whole of Shanxi was behind him.
As soon as Dolgon fled, Li Wuliu entered the Beijing field, and Yang Chao immediately went north after receiving the news.
Beijing recovered.
When the news of Beijing's reconquest spread, everyone knew that the world was going to be peaceful.
But the war is far from over.
After the Qing army in Liaodong fled, Zhao Kang freed his hands and swept several cities in western Liaoxi all the way, the Qing army's strength left outside the pass was too weak, there were almost no troops to defend the city, and there was no will to resist, either fled or surrendered.
swept all the way to Kaiyuan, and the places where the Ming army lost back then all came back.
Sun Changfu also swept Liaoyang, Anshan and other places in eastern Liaoning.
At this time, the Koreans also resisted, announced that they would respect the king, and sent an army to follow the retreating Eight Banners into the northeast.
So far, in addition to Shaanxi, Hubei and Sichuan, within the border wall, has been recovered.
Yang Chao didn't expect it to be so easy, he was ready to fight for three consecutive years, but found that it only took three months to basically drive away the main force of the Qing army.
However, the war is far from over, and after recovering Shaanxi and other places, it will be necessary to enter the grassland to fight.
Yang Chao could not accept the result of waiting for the Manchus to make a comeback after ten years of subjugation on the grassland.
But to fight in the grasslands, logistics and supply are a serious problem, which means that you can't rely on the canal.
The Northern Expedition went very well, but the Southern Expedition encountered problems, the Burmese refused to call Zhu Cihuan out, and then Song Kun did not give them a chance to bargain, and pulled the Siamese who could not wait to attack and killed them.
As a result, the Burmese were so angry that they killed all the kings and ministers of Longwu. (To be continued......)
