Kim's turbidity war, where the scriptures are bent in the brow. Deng Haonan divided Tingdong into the first theater of war in North Korea, which was sent to control the army by Liaodong, and it was also the main battlefield for the decisive battle with the Huang Taiji army. The Liaodong Governor's Mansion and Fuzhou Wei of Jinzhou Wei were the second theater of operations, and the reserve recruits would serve as the main force to attack Gaizhou Wei and Haizhou Wei of Kong Youde's control of Zhan, recovering the Liaodong Peninsula in one fell swoop, and pushing the actual control of the Zhan District to the vicinity of Dongningwei, the southern gate of Shenyang, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty.

The third theater is the headquarters of Yuan Chonghuan in Liaoxi, although Deng Haonan is still unable to command Yuan Chonghuan, but the military department Shangshu Wang Qia has already proposed to the cabinet the idea of replacing people and removing the governor of Liaodong, just waiting for the approval of the cabinet, and the emperor just nodded.

Na Haonan was not worried about this, because the incident of the Ningyuan mutiny had already touched the nerves of the cabinet chief assistant and other ministers. Yuan Chonghuan's actions made them feel unhappy, coupled with the fall of Mao Wenlong and the defection of his subordinates, all of which made the cabinet's worries about Liaoxi rise to the extreme.

Now the military department Shangshu Wang Cha mentioned yì, dismissed the governor of Liaodong, recalled Yuan Chonghuan to the capital to report on his work, and Liaodong was completely under the full command of the Liaodong Governor's Office. The other four cabinet ministers received Deng Haonan's silver, and they had to show something. In addition, the Liaodong Governor's Office was only suspended overseas and did not enter the customs, which did not threaten their core interests, so the cabinet quickly approved Wang Cha's proposal.

Wang Qia strongly recommended Di Haonan to return to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion and the governor of the Liaodong War. This touched the queen's nerves, and the cabinet document was sent to the celebrant to be stamped with Yuwang, but the eunuch with the palm print was the queen's person. Zhang Yan thought that Deng Haonan was going to abandon her and run away, and immediately rejected the mention of the military department.

However, after Li Liu, the eunuch in charge of the inner court, learned about it, he left the official document in the middle and sent someone to notify Na Haonan first.

When Na Haonan heard the news, he hurriedly entered the palace to meet Zhang Yan and explain the reason.

"Don't touch me!"

Na Haonan stepped forward and hugged Zhang Yan, and Zhang Yan symbolically struggled a few times.

"What are we going to do when you're gone?"

"You guys?" Deng Haonan was stunned for a moment, and then followed Zhang Yan's hand and put it on her lower abdomen. The lower abdomen was already bulging, and Deng Haonan suddenly understood what the "we" in her mouth meant.

"Who said I was leaving?" Deng Haonan coughed dryly and said: "Wang Cha canceled the post of governor of Liaodong and placed Liaodong under the jurisdiction of the Liaodong Governor's Office, I don't have to go back to Liaodong!" ”

When Zhang Yan heard that Di Haonan was not leaving, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "I heard that Liaodong is going to fight a big war!" It would be too dangerous for you to go to Liaodong, and if you left, I would stay in the palace and be afraid

That Haonan thinks about it, now Zhang Yan regards him as a dependent, if he leaves Beijing, Zhang Yan is a weak woman who faces the Emperor of the Apocalypse alone, and she will be worried all day long.

"You know!" Deng Haonan sat on the edge of the bed with Zhang Yan and said, "Huang Taiji is estimated to be in a hurry this time, and a big war is inevitable!" Yuan Chonghuan sits in Liaoxi, just trying to protect himself, and if I want to eliminate the Jurchen threat, I need to use Liaoxi's troops to contain the enemy. ”

"Then you're not going to Liaodong?"

Zhang Yan looked forward to it, Deng Haonan kissed her, and said: "I only need to send someone over to take over the defense of Liaoxi, and I don't need to go out in person."

Zhang Yan burst into tears and laughed, "It's good if you don't go!" As for Yuan Chonghuan, let him go back to Beijing to be idle."

Na Haonan laughed secretly in his heart, this Yuan Chonghuan offended Zhang Yan, and now he is reaping the consequences.

However, Deng Haonan was also thinking about it in his heart. Right now, Zhang Yan is pregnant with his child, and after seven months, if it is a boy, then Hao Nan will immediately abolish the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Then let Zhang Yan listen to the government as the queen mother, or he himself handled state affairs as a supervisor or regent. At that time, Deng Haonan could blatantly enter the customs and enter the Central Plains. If it is a girl, then Deng Haonan can only continue to forbear, postpone entering the customs, continue to deal with Huang Taiji outside the customs, and slowly accumulate strength.

It can be said that Di Haonan's expectations are very in place, but it will only take seven months. However, now that the situation has changed abruptly, the war situation in Liaodong is confusing, and Deng Haonan is still slowly groping for the grasp of this strategic time and space.

"So you don't object? small

Zhang Yan mouthed towards Di Haonan Nunu and said, "As long as you don't leave me, I will listen to you."

"Is this good!" Na Haonan smiled, causing Zhang Yan to roll her eyes.

"Since they all listen to me! Then I'll come over with you tonight, okay! ”

"No way!" Zhang Yanjiao said angrily: "I am pregnant, you are not allowed to spend the night with me!" ”

Na Haonan frolicked with Zhang Yan for a while. before leaving.

After leaving Cining Palace, the eunuch with the palm seal was already waiting outside, stamped the official document of the Ministry of War with Yu Xiaokui, and then handed it back to Deng Haonan. It is very clear in the official document that the governor of Liaodong was revoked and Yuan Chonghuan was transferred back to Beijing to report on his work. And the military and political affairs of Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places in Liaoxi were transferred to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion directly under the cake Di Haonan took the official document, and after taking a look, he nodded with satisfaction, and then called a little eunuch to send the official document to the military department.

Looking at the back of the little eunuch leaving, Na Haonan sighed in his heart, it is most effective to start from the central government, only one official document is needed, and the entire Liaodong will fall into his palm.

It's so cool!

Na Hao Nan left the palace and returned to the Jinghai Marquis Mansion, and immediately sent a notice to the Liaodong General Staff, ordering Huang Zupei to act as the commander of the Third Theater and to take over the defense of Liaoxi immediately. At the same time, Zhao Rate, the chief soldier of Shanhai Customs, and Man Gui, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, led the cavalry of the headquarters out of the customs and cooperated with Huang Zupei to take over the defense of western Liaoning.

This Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui are both two fierce generals who were squeezed out of the Liaoxi military system by Yuan Chonghuan, each with thousands of elite cavalry, they will definitely not buy Yuan Chong's Zhouyi, plus he has a good relationship with Na Haonan, and there should be no problem with Huang Zupei to take over the defense of Liaoxi safely.

And Huang Zupei's task is also very clear, after taking over the defense of western Liaoxi with the Liaodong Army, Yuan Chonghuan's generals and sergeants will be bribed. To this end, Deng Haonan specially approved 1 million taels of silver for the resettlement of military expenses and military expenses for the promotion of generals in western Liaoning.

Huang Zupei's second task was to quickly rectify the Liaoxi army, especially the 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry, which must be firmly grasped in his hands, and command Zu Dashou and other Guanning iron cavalry generals to send troops to Liaohe, attack Shenyang, and participate in the Liaoshen Battle in the Third War Zone.

※※

Just as Huang Zupei set off for Ningyuan, and Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao went out with the orders of the military department, the Second War Zone took the lead in launching an attack on Gaizhouwei, igniting the prelude to the First Liaoshen War.

Gaizhouwei is too close to the Liaodong Governor's Mansion, and now that Kong Youde has rebelled and defected to the enemy, the General Staff of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion has long formulated a plan to capture Gaizhouwei.

As soon as Na Haonan's order arrived, Lin Feng, chief of the general staff, personally acted as the commander of the Second Theater and established the Liaoshen Campaign Command Headquarters. The main forces of the Liaodong Army were all transferred to the Korean Dispatch Army, and now they are all engaged in the first theater of operations. The second theater has strong troops, but they are all new recruits.

The quality was a little worse, so Lin Feng used data to make up for it.

The Golden State Tactical Training Base has 50,000 recruits. Lin Feng selected 10,000 outstanding soldiers from them and organized them into the 3rd Marine Division, plus the 2nd Marine Division of the Fuzhou Garrison, with a total strength of 20,000. After that, military supplies were mobilized from the General Logistics Department to complete the equipment of the two Marine Divisions.

Compared with the 1st Marine Division, the officers and men of the 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions were first equipped with steel helmets, and the muskets were not the Spanish Ashkert muskets used by the 1st Marine Division, but were equipped with French dog-lock frog muskets. The effective range of the musket was about 150 meters, which was not as good as the 200-meter effective range of the Ashket musket, but it was one-third lighter, and it could not be supported by a standing bracket for a long time. This is definitely beneficial for the recruits to quickly adapt to the battlefield environment.

In terms of cavalry, although there are no Spanish heavy war horses used by the black-armored elite cavalry, the 10,000 Mongolian war horses eliminated by the original black-armored elite cavalry can still be used. As a result, the General Staff set up a light cavalry unit of 10,000 men for this purpose, using muskets, as a supplement to the Marine Division. As a result, a new type of cavalry was born in the Liaodong Army.

For the Liaodong Army, as long as they are willing to throw money, the soldiers will grab a handful. However, the commanders who commanded the musketeers were pitifully few.

To this end, Lin Feng followed Deng Haonan's instructions and temporarily transferred the instructors, supervising officers, and cadets of the Army Military Academy to form a cadet officer corps, which were dispersed to the Second Marine Division, the Third Marine Division, and the First Lancer Division. On November 22, the 1st Lancer Division of the Second Theater of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion marched out of Fuzhou Wei and marched to Gaizhou Wei. Then, the 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions followed suit with 300 field guns.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, the 1st Lancer Division cleared the sentinels around Gaizhou Wei and surrounded Gaizhou City.

Kong Youde was a thief with a weak heart, and released a forward observation post in the direction of Fuzhou Wei early. Therefore, he immediately learned the news of the Liaodong Army's troops!

However, Kong Youde never thought that the other party would have an extra lancer division. On maneuverability. Kong Youde's infantry asked themselves if they couldn't outrun the cavalry of the Liaodong Army. His earlier intelligence learned that the cavalry of the Liaodong Army had been transferred to Korea, so he dared to stay in Gaizhouwei. Now 10,000 cavalry suddenly came out, which suddenly made his head several times bigger.

There were about 20,000 people left behind by Kong Youde to guard the state guard, including 3,000 cavalry, 15,000 infantry, and 2,000 artillerymen.

Most of the Longwei cannons and Huwei cannons on Gaizhou City were transported back to Shenyang, but there were still a lot of left, which shows that the firepower of Houjin was quite sufficient after the previous defense. However, the remaining cannons had consumed a large number of shells and gunpowder due to the previous attack by the Later Jin, as well as the transport away, and the Liaodong Governor's Office did not provide them with follow-up supplies, so Kong Youde was obviously not confident due to the lack of ammunition.

"Your Excellency!" The adjutant general stepped forward and said: "The Emperor Taiji's army is rushing to attack the Yalu River, and there is no main defense here at all, so we can't wait for death here." ”

Kong Youde nodded and asked, "Then what do you mean!" ”

"We must withdraw from Gaizhou before the infantry of the Liaodong Army arrives!" The adjutant general pointed to the cavalry of the Liaodong Army outside the city and said: "The other party is obviously not a black-armored elite cavalry, so we don't need to be afraid of them, we only need three thousand cavalry to drag this cavalry to cover the withdrawal of the army." ”

Kong Youde frowned and said: "Although what you said is reasonable, but we just defected to Huang Taiji, so it is difficult to say the past without a fight." Besides, the Huang Taiji army is not there, and at this time, we let the Liaodong Army go over, which is equivalent to selling the Huang Taiji's lair. Can this Emperor Taiji spare us? ”

The adjutant general sighed: "Then what are you going to do?" You can't carry it! The Liaodong Army brought hundreds of cannons, and our Gaizhou City collapsed in less than half an hour, and we couldn't hold it at all."

"It's collapsed! If the city wall collapses, we can explain to Huang Taiji! Kong Youde thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Leave all the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Zhuozhong to guard the city, and the rest of the brothers will follow me out of the city quietly tonight!" small

The adjutant general sighed and reluctantly took the order.

On the evening of the 23rd, the 2nd and 3rd Marine Divisions of the Liaodong Army arrived in the south of Gaizhou City. Considering the speed of the soldiers, Lin Feng immediately ordered the artillery to bombard Gaizhou City.

The 300 guns were divided into three rows and arranged in echelons on the favorable terrain of the hillside outside the city. Since the five-year artillery of the Apocalypse is still a front-loading smoothbore gun, in order to achieve the effect of continuous fire, the artillery also implements the three-row firing tactics like the musketeers.

"Ready to go!"

With the command of the commander of the artillery command flag fell. The artillery crews of the various guns that were ready quickly opened fire.

With the sound of cannonball, with the tongue of fire from the first artillery, the siege battle officially began. At the same time, it also ignited the flames of the Liaoshen Battle.

Knock knock!

The first row of guns let out a trembling roar like a sea of mountains. The flames flickered, smoke erupted, and a solid cannonball weighing twelve kilograms whistled towards the city of Gaizhou.

In the evening of winter, the sky was dark, and the cannonballs fell on the city wall like streamers, and in an instant the masonry cracked and the earth and rubble flew everywhere. On the originally smooth city wall, a bumpy crater was suddenly smashed out. The cannonball hit the female wall, and in an instant, most of the bricks and stones of the female wall were cut off and flew down inside and outside the city, and the Kong Youde rebel soldiers hiding behind them were suddenly in chaos.

The guards of the southern city hid behind the female wall and shouted, "Go to the city to defend against the enemy!" ”

The order was given, and the sergeants hiding under the walls of the city poured out one after another and rushed to the head of the city to defend it.

In general, there will be a few minutes of respite after the shelling. Therefore, the rebel soldiers went to the city very calmly. However, when they landed in the city, they were dumbfounded by the whizzing cannonballs.

The firepower of the Liaodong Army was even stronger, and the shells used in the second row were flowering shells, and in an instant, the explosion shook the sky, and a fiery red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and suddenly the smoke covered the air. The cannonballs exploded, and the violent air wave blasted the rebel soldiers who landed in the city in an instant.

Some flew into the air, made free fall in the howl, and fell to pieces. Some were directly torn to pieces by the fragments of the shells, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere.

In Russia, the third echelon fired grenade shots, and the artillery companies fired in unison, the sound was like ten thousand thunders, the mountains shook, and countless grenades shot towards the city, and the dense steel balls shot like a sky net, and it was difficult to dodge the Kong Youde rebels who fought with the Liaodong Army for the first time, and they did not have any mental preparations, and they were suddenly killed and wounded, and suffered heavy casualties. Half an hour after the shelling, smoke cleared from the top of the city. As the northeast wind broke the smoke and rushed straight into the city, the fire and wind were fierce and the red flames were in the sky. The soldiers of the Kongyoude rebels in the city were shot one after another in the thick smoke, and their howls were heart-rending, and they fell along with the bricks that flew down the city.

Kong Youde, who was in the back, had been paying attention to the development of the war, and secretly said in his heart: Fortunately, he didn't send the elite to fight in the city, and the intensive artillery attack was unbearable, even the elite troops couldn't withstand it!

Gaizhou City is not as strong as Jinzhou and Fuzhou Castle under the rule of Liaodong Governorate, Jinzhou Fortress uses hard cement bricks fired by special technology, while Gaizhou City uses adobe bricks. Under the heavy artillery bombardment of the Liaodong Army, the collapse soon began. Kong Youde was in a hurry in his heart, and secretly said that it was not completely dark, if the city was broken, how could he retreat safely?

As a last resort, Kong Youde had no choice but to transfer a battalion of men and horses to reinforce Nancheng

However, in the face of the fierce artillery bombardment of the Liaodong Army, no matter how many people could go to the city to defend. Most of the old and weak soldiers who had defended Nancheng before had been crippled, and the rest had all retreated.

There are no soldiers left on the city!

Seeing that there were no defenders on the city, the artillery units of the Liaodong Army stopped using flowering and grenade bombs, and bombarded the city walls with solid shells, making a passage into the city as much as possible.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, a section of the city wall on the east side of the southern city finally could not support it and collapsed with a bang.

The artillery unit concentrated its artillery fire on the vicinity of the collapsed wall and bombarded it with flowering shells, and only after making sure that there were no living enemy defenses nearby did the shelling stop.

As soon as the cannon stopped, the 1st Lancer Division of the Liaodong Army rushed into Gaizhou City along the collapsed city wall, fired indiscriminately with muskets, eliminated the remnants of the nearby defenders, and then drew their swords and attacked the alley to slash and slash the fleeing enemy troops. The soldiers of the Marine Division mounted their bayonets, followed and rushed into the city.

Gaizhouwei only had three city gates, but the Liaodong army only blocked the troops outside the south gate, and neither the east gate nor the north gate had deployed troops.

Kong Youde thought at first that the Liaodong Army had arranged ambushes at the east gate and the north gate, and waited for him to go out. As a result, after the adjutant general sent someone to investigate, he learned that there was not a single soldier or vehicle at the east gate and the north gate at all, and it was completely suspicious.

In fact, Kong Youde ignored an important factor, that is, the Liaodong Army in the second exhibition area was all new recruits, and Lin Feng, chief of the General Staff, knew that Kong Youde's troops had been on the battlefield for a long time and were not easy to deal with. In order not to turn Kong Youde into a trapped beast fighting situation, Lin Feng avoided the decisive battle between the Liaodong Army and Kong Youde's rebels, but slowly forced the opponent's rear to achieve the strategic task of the Liaodong Army in the second theater of operations.

In this way, it not only avoided the problem of exposing defects and lack of experience of the recruits of the Liaodong Army, but also avoided the huge losses caused by the stubborn struggle with Kong Youde's troops. It is also a favorable attack situation on the battlefield, which enhances the self-confidence of the recruits and makes the recruits grow up. At the same time, it can also frighten the enemy and complete the established strategic purpose.

It can be described as killing several birds with one stone! C
