Huang Tai sat on the extreme seat, looked around the room and solemnly stood ministers, he first looked at the commander-in-chief of the Jinzhou front, the head of the blue flag master Jierharang: "Prince Zheng, the affairs of Jinzhou are led by you, how is the arrangement, you can talk about it for the ministers." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

While talking, he suddenly coughed a few times, saying that he had wind dizziness and high blood pressure, and after the national mobilization, he was worried about the front line, and rode all the way forward. After arriving at the front line, he did not care about resting, and immediately inspected the situation of each other, and this health inevitably worsened.

Zilharang glanced at Huang Taiji worriedly, and replied respectfully: "Slave Honor." ”

He said: "Ministers and princes, this Jinzhou strategy, counting the eight banners, the outer Mongolia, including Goryeo, my Great Qing State sent a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses, including 120,000 Aha miscellaneous soldiers, and the rest of the banners and soldiers, not wearing armor banners, totaling more than 130,000 people. ”

"Now Jinzhou is besieged, there are eight large camps around the city, three long trenches have been dug out, and the soldiers and horses are arranged, mainly a red flag of the king of Anping County, a red flag of Prince Heshuo Brother Li, and some armor soldiers of Yu Qi. There were 15,000 bannermen, 12,000 internal soldiers, and 20,000 Aha miscellaneous soldiers. Although Zu Dashou has more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, they are all the original defenders of the forts, and those with combat power are only thousands of men and horses in his headquarters, 15,000 banners, and even 20,000 Ahe miscellaneous soldiers to besiege enough. ”

Everyone nodded, the king of Anping County is Du Du, the owner of the red flag flag, he was originally Anping Baylor, and after 12 years of Chongzhen, he was named the king of the county for his merits.

However, in that war, his soldiers and horses suffered a lot of losses, although after returning to China, many of his Manchurian, Han, Mongolian and other surplus dings, as well as many minions were carried to the banner, and the population of each cattle was replenished, but the elite soldiers were not so easy to replenish, and the combat power decreased a lot.

In particular, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were the Red Flag, and even the banner owner Yue Tuo was killed by Wang Dou back then, and the losses were serious, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

Therefore, in the future battle of Rufeng Mountain, they basically did not participate, and were only responsible for the affairs of Jinzhou.

Moreover, the remaining bannermen of the Second Banner, together with some of the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners, were still stationed in Yizhou and waited, responsible for monitoring the transportation of 30,000 followers to Tuntian, as well as protecting the back road.

Prince Zheng Jierharang continued: "Now I have Rufeng Mountain, with the Loess Ridge to the east of Songshan Fort, Songshan Mountain to the southeast, Shimen Mountain, Shijialing, Bauhinia Mountain, Mopan Mountain, Jinchang Fort, Shahe Fort, and Dasheng Fort. There are eight banners of Manchuria Zhenghuang Flag, inlaid yellow flag, Zhengbai flag, inlaid white flag, inlaid blue flag, inlaid blue flag and a piece of soldiers and horses, and there are eight banners of Mongolia, most of the Eight Banners Han Army, Outer Domain Mongolia, and a Goryeo Army, with a total of 70,000 banners, 58,000 internal soldiers, and 50,000 miscellaneous servants Ahaya, facing off with the Ming army. ”

"The remaining 30,000 banners, more than 20,000 internal armor soldiers, and 30,000 Aha miscellaneous soldiers are stationed in Baimiao Fort to cross his daughter He, attack Xingshan, and cut off the grain road of the Ming army."

"However, the sentry cavalry reported that the Ming army had to wait for a lot of construction in Wudaoling, and the back road was very tightly protected, and the back road was cut off, which was not optimistic."

He sighed: "Hong Chengchou has always been careful, and the combat strength of the Ming army has also improved a lot compared with previous years, and our army has set up ambushes several times, such as setting up ambushes in Xingshan and Songshan, but no results have been achieved. This time, the Ming army was extremely powerful, and the battle of Jinzhou needed to be cautious. ”

After listening to Zilharang's words, everyone was worried, this battle is not easy to fight.

In the battle of Jinzhou, the Qing country poured into the country, and only some old and weak soldiers remained in the country, if one was not careful, it would be a disaster to destroy the country.

According to the establishment of the Eight Banners, the smallest unit is Niu Lu, every 200 to 300 people is a Niu Lu, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the younger brother dies. Of course, it is not that a cow is two or three hundred people, but that each household produces a strong man, and "Ding" is an adult man between the ages of 16 and 60 according to ancient sayings. …,

Generally speaking, there are several people in a household, and the number of dings in it varies, sometimes two or three, sometimes five or six, depending on the fertility of the men in each household. Therefore, there were 2 or 300 households per Niu Lu in the Qing Dynasty, generally ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 people.

In the Qing Dynasty, those who served as soldiers were called bannermen, and they were divided into armor banners and unarmored banners. Those who are not soldiers for the time being are called "Yu Ding" or "idle", and they can also follow them into battle, as a kind of follow-up, and have a higher position than those slave Ahabs.

Each Niu Lu two or three hundred Ding is a soldier, whether you can wear armor or not, it depends on the ability of each soldier. However, Qing men have taken exams every three years since they were ten years old, and they are guards (infantry armor) who meet the standards, enjoy military salaries, enjoy armor, and then take the assessment to the vest, and the bayala is different.

After all, as flag soldiers, adult soldiers, they are assessed from the age of ten, and they can't wear armor at the age of sixteen, eighteen, or twenty, and they are too embarrassed in the surrounding martial atmosphere.

It's just that in this Jinzhou War, almost all the flag cattle recorded the flag Ding to fight, and many Yu Ding also followed the expedition, as well as a large number of Han people and other slaves who plundered that year, and the domestic youth and strong were swept away. If this battle is lost, it will indeed be a catastrophe for the Qing Kingdom.

Huang Taiji nodded, expressed satisfaction with Jierharang, Jierharang is cautious and calm, this arrangement, there is no defect, and after inspecting all parts of Rufeng Mountain, he can't find fault. It is indeed a country that is old and worthy of his trust.

He said: "Prince Zheng personally experienced the battle array, bowed to the arrows, and made decisions in the midst of the crowd. ”

He said: "The ministers should also talk about how to meet the battle after the Ming army arrives." ”

Huang Taiji's eldest son, Prince Su Haoge disagreed with Zierharang's words, he said: "The Southern Barbarians are indeed much more powerful than before, but so what, under my Great Qing Iron Horse, they are 100,000, 200,000, and they are also the result of a big defeat. After the Ming army arrived, it was time to form a formation to fight, and what Prince Zheng said was too frustrating. ”

Haoge was originally good at fighting, had a wide range of military exploits, and continued to enter the seal because of his outstanding merits, and was favored by Huang Taiji for a long time, and his power was quite strong. He was at odds with Prince Rui Dolgon, and in recent years, Dolgon has been suppressed by Huang Taiji again and again, and his momentum has become much shorter.

One after another, he became even more powerful, enjoyed a high prestige among the princes and ministers of the Eight Banners, and was able to dominate the household department.

Haoge has always despised the Ming army, and Chongzhen did not suffer any blow in his twelfth year, although he admitted that the Ming army was different from the past, but after listening to Zilharang's words, he still subconsciously refuted.

Seeing his arrogant appearance, Zilharang just smiled and didn't argue with Hauge.

Ji'er Harang didn't speak, but Huang Taiji's face sank, and he scolded: "Prince Zheng is dedicated to the country, and what he says is for the sake of my Daqing. How could Prince Su be so rude, and why not apologize to Prince Zheng quickly? ”

Haorge said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

He apologized to Zilharang, but his face was still full of nonchalance.

Huang Taiji doted on his eldest son Haoge, and after he ascended the throne, he killed his brother Amin and Mang Gurtai one after another, and constantly gave the banner owners small shoes to wear, all for Haoge. At this time, seeing Hauge's expression, he frowned, but he still skipped it and did not mention his rudeness to Zilharang.

Azig, the king of Wuyingjun, also expressed support for Hauge's words, and he also despised the Ming army, and now befriended Haug - under the instruction of Huang Taiji, Haug continued to woo Dolgon's eldest brother Azig.

Azig has a rough temper and fights very well, but he doesn't know anything about power, he has always been dissatisfied with his brother Dorgon replacing him as the owner of the white flag, Haug continued to show favor, he immediately took refuge in the past, Hauge's words were also to his liking, so he immediately stood on Hauge's side. …,

Huang Taiji looked at these two thick lines and only sighed, this time is different from the past, if they are still like this, the elite of the Qing Kingdom will be destroyed under Jinzhou City.

It doesn't matter to Azig, when will his son Haug mature? Will your own hard work become empty in the future?

Fortunately, the minister Ying Erdai came out at this time and said: "The slave thinks that Prince Zheng is reasonable, and the battle of Jinzhou needs to be cautious. There are many and sharp soldiers, and you can't fight quickly, otherwise if you lose, what can you do about it? Therefore, the slave thinks that he can fight around the pine mountain, defend against the mountain danger step by step, consume the sharp spirit of the Ming army, and wait for it to be exhausted. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, Ying Erdai has always been valued by him, and he is also very talented, especially good at financial management and diplomacy, and has made several missions to North Korea, all of which have achieved successful results, so that he has no worries and goes all out to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

This time, the Korean state sent 10,000 troops to supply a large amount of grain, which was also the result of the efforts of the British Erdai.

Because of the talent of Ying Ordai, so Huang Taiji specially ordered Ying Ordai to undertake the government for the household department, as the prime minister of the second war army, at this time he said, but also implicitly his own steady discussion, he praised: "He Tara Cheng Zheng diligent in the ministry, is really old and experienced, should be an example for the people." ”

Then Huang Taiji looked at the red flag Lord Dai Shan, this old immortal has been silent, and Huang Taiji is afraid of Dai Shan.

Although this old immortal has retreated behind the scenes for many years, he has commanded the army for 30 years, and among the princes of the Eight Banners, he has the oldest qualifications and the highest position, and there are a large number of children and grandchildren who have been awarded the title of prince and duke, such as Shuotuo, Wakda, Adali, Luo Luohun, and Mandahai, and his power is extremely complex, and he is also known as the Great Baylor.

In the first year of Chongde, forced by his prestige, he had to be named the prince of Heshuo brother, although he was suppressed many times, Dai Shan also expressed his obedience and honesty, and regarded himself as a minister. But deep down, Huang Taiji has always been at ease with it.

Although he is getting older and older, he has never died, and Huang Taiji's inner vigilance has not been gone, at this time he said lightly: "Prince Heshuo Brother Li also said that after the Ming army arrives, how to fight this battle." ”

Dai Shan coughed, and Wen Yan said: "There is no problem with Prince Zheng's military arrangement, my Eight Banners army lives in Rufeng Mountain, Loess Ridge, and Maojiagou, just like a few big pliers, clamping the Ming army's road to Jinzhou to prevent them from rescuing." ”

"There are a lot of stone walls in various mountain trenches, and according to the dangerous fortifications, it will definitely be able to greatly consume the combat strength of the Ming army. There is also an army of Baimiaobao, and when the Ming army is demoralized in the future, it can cross his daughter He, attack Xingshan, and cut off the grain route of the Ming army. Our Eight Banners Army is long in field battles, and when the Ming army is demoralized, it will be able to win with one drum and lay the foundation of the emperor's eternal appearance. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, noncommittal, and finally looked at Dorgon with complicated eyes.

The original Prince Rui, after several times of his own suppression, demoted him from the prince to the prince of the county, and found the fault of his younger brother Duoduo, and demoted him from the prince of Yu to Baylor.

He said, "King Ruijun will also talk about it." ”

Dorgon said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”

He said: "The slave agrees with his opinion that the Ming army is powerful and powerful, so it is right to avoid its edge first and use mountain fortifications to consume its sharpness." Their army of hundreds of thousands, how much does this grain and grass need a day? If they hold each other for a long time, they are afraid that they will stand up in the Ming Kingdom, and when they are exhausted, the Qing soldiers will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Although the supply of grain and grass in our country is also difficult, our division has a lot more advantages than that of the Ming Kingdom. ”

Duoduo gave his brother a strange look, Dolgon has been a lot more active lately, and he has also shown respect to Huang Taiji. Dorgon couldn't guess what was going on, but he looked at Dolgon's head and echoed it again and again. …,

Only Azig snorted, and looked coldly at Dorgon and Dodor at the two younger brothers, who had no good impression of them at all.

Subsequently, all the ministers agreed, saying that there were a lot of soldiers, and if they were to make a quick decision, they might not be able to adopt the tactic of encircling the pine mountain and waiting for the food to be exhausted.

Huang Taiji listened indifferently, and had already made up his mind at this time, Zhenghuang Qi, Baya, La, Zhang, Jing Tulai, hurriedly came in, saying that the army of the people had arrived, and it was converging next to Songshan Fort.

There was a commotion in the house, Huang Taiji snorted coldly, and a cold light shot out of his eyes: "Has the Ming army finally arrived?" Ministers, come with me! ”

……

Everyone hurriedly came to the mountain city, the location of the mountain city is very appropriate, standing on the city wall, pine and apricot everywhere, at a glance.

Under the scorching sun, the steaming heat swelled up, making the vision seem to become a little distorted, and everyone raised their eyes to look south, and saw a sea of people, slowly moving.

The Ming army is still red, and near Songshan, there are also low mountains and hills, so when this red sea of people moves, under the illumination of the sun, it is like a sparkling lake and ocean, surging wave after wave.

Since the emperor Taiji, everyone took a breath of cold air, people said that the Ming army was extremely powerful this time, and it didn't feel like it when it sounded, but when I saw it in person, I realized that this was the case. The Ming army this time is indeed different from previous years, and it is not just the sentry cavalry and Zierharang and others who talk casually.

Even the arrogant Hauge and Azig were speechless, a little dumbfounded, and then gritted their teeth with hideous expressions on their faces.

In front of this sea of people, there were dense and galloping sentinels and nights, who attracted the attention of everyone in the mountain city for a while, and then turned their eyes to their large array.

It can be seen that the Ming army marched in unison, coming in formation, they were composed of countless large and small arrays, the cavalry was in front, and the infantry army was behind, all moving rhythmically with the marching military drums. As far as the eye can see, there are endless red armor, endless spears and firearms, and dense flags, and it is really like a sea of troops, as if they are about to reach the end of the sky. They moved closer and closer, and the heavy sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, which seemed to be heard by everyone in the mountain city, shook everyone's hearts.

Suddenly, Huang Taiji's eyes stared, and he saw a shaking ocean flag, several large flags loaded on the cart were particularly eye-catching, as if standing out from the crowd.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, a clairvoyant mirror was placed in his hand, yes, it was a clairvoyant mirror. At that time, Kong Youde defected to the enemy, and there were several clairvoyant mirrors used by the Francophone in the army, which he presented to the Qing Emperor as a treasure.

After getting the clairvoyant mirror, Huang Taiji thought that this was a militaristic weapon, and also sent craftsmen to imitate it, and secretly collected it from the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, the technical talents are limited, and the Ming Dynasty also tries its best to control it, so there are not many pieces of the system, and some of the limited clairvoyant mirrors are used as precious artifacts and rewarded to the favored flag lords and princes in the flag.

At this time, Huang Taiji held a mirror and looked at it, some of them had a clairvoyant mirror, and some of them were all looking at the Ming army.

Huang Taiji could see clearly that in the Ming army, there were four huge juxtaposed banners, one of which was slightly shorter, and the rest were just as huge.

These flags are all carried on carts and drawn by horses. Behind the flag, there are many big drum cars, at this time the drummer is beating, and then the army marches with the shocking drum, no wonder the Ming army is particularly different this time, it turns out that there are these big cars and drum cars.

Huang Taiji even looked at a huge wave sun and moon flag, not to mention the information he could get, even from his first feeling, he also knew that this was Wang Dou's handsome flag.

Wang Dou is always unexpected, and as soon as his banner comes out, it gives people a feeling of passion, just like his Jingbian Army.

Huang Taiji's eyes are sharp, this person is the biggest enemy of his Jinzhou battle!

Not only Huang Taiji, but also the people who have clairvoyant mirrors in the mountain city all looked at Wang Dou's big banner, gritting their teeth and hating to eat their flesh. …,

After a long time, Huang Taiji sighed: "This time the Ming army is indeed powerful, different from the past!" ”

He had a complicated heart, since the fourth year of Chongde, the Ming State has been training troops on a large scale, and sure enough, the combat power of the soldiers and horses has increased significantly. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it seems that there is a long way to go to enter the Central Plains.

Zilharang, Abatai, and Daishan also looked serious, and said: "People say that Hong Chengchou is good at using soldiers, and looking at his military ranks, he believes so. In addition, there is the Ming country's loyal and brave king fighting, the battle of Jinzhou, my Qing country is not optimistic, and the soldiers need to have the heart of death to win! ”

……

On the same day, the Ming army arrived at Songshan and joined the officers and soldiers of Songshan Guard, as well as Li Fuming, the general soldier of Shanxi, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, who had previously supported, and then the army set up camp.

Originally, the loess ridge ten miles east of Songshan Fort, as well as the Songshan Mountain a few miles away in the southeast, were all good camped belts for the army.

However, these places are now occupied by the Qing army, and they are deeply camped and densely fortified, forming close solidarity with each other. Wu Sangui and others tried to attack, but it was difficult to capture, but they lost some soldiers and horses, so they did not move, camped outside Songshan Fort, and waited for the army to come.

At this time, the army converged, according to the strategic layout of Hong Chengchou in Xingshan, at this time the Qing people laid out the actual situation, the Ming army rode between Songshan Fort and Rufeng Mountain, and camped on the east, west and north sides of Songshan Fort, forming a layout around Songshan City.

After the Ming army set up camp, the camp was majestic, and the emperor Taiji on the mountain city was impressed, and Hong Chengchou's camp was strictly organized, and he was indeed a good way to manage the army. Their arrangement has no loopholes at all, and the entire defense is well organized and very detailed.

This time, the Ming army gathered divisions, and it was indeed a strong enemy of the Qing Dynasty!

The army was encamped, at this time it was already the afternoon of Shen, the Ming officials could not take a rest, braved the scorching sun, under the protection of the guards, went to Rufeng Mountain Zhude to get close, and spied on the Qing people's arrangement.

Wang Dou held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at Rufeng Mountain and other places, for a long time, he secretly praised in his heart, the Eight Banners Army started from the old slave, marched and hunted, set up fences in winter, and dug trenches in summer, and had great experience in digging trenches. In this battle of Jinzhou, their trench digging talents were brought into full play.

Although the Jingbian army did not receive information at night, Wang Dou was still impressed by the trenches dug by the Qing army.

Their trenches had piles on them, ropes on the piles, bells on the ropes, dogs on the bells, and the lines of defense were very tight. It is no wonder that after Zu Dashou was trapped in Jinzhou, he attacked many times one after another, but he could not break through the trench defense line dug by the Qing army.

The trench warfare of the First World War was only a little better than that. (To be continued.) This article is provided by Xiao Ai 332335 If you like this work, you are welcome to ◣◥ to vote for recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation. )
