Chapter 556: Changing Deployments

After defeating the white pole soldiers and capturing Qin Liangyu alive, Dolgon began to ambitiously implement all the operational deployments, and he had sent a sergeant to send a letter to Du Du in Baoding, asking Du Du to transfer 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners Army to Yanqing Prefecture as soon as possible.

According to the situation reported by Shang Kexi, the Ming army in Yanqing Prefecture continued to send scouts, intending to get in touch with the outside world, Geng Zhongming led only 30,000 Han troops, if this news leaked out, the consequences were something that Dolgon did not want to see.

Therefore, after Dolgon wrote a letter to Du Du, he led the army back to Yanqing City, and once the 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners sent by Du Du arrived, he could lead the 40,000 soldiers to implement the next battle plan and besiege the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The speed of the Zheng army's march was very fast, the first day of the march of two hundred miles, from Baoding Mansion City to Zhuozhou City, early the next morning, the army has made all the preparations, this day their destination is Changping Prefecture City, arrived at Changping Prefecture City, the army will make certain adjustments and deployments, to meet the upcoming battle again.

Su Congjin took a few scouts and escorted a few Houjin Tartars, and hurried over.

Wang Xiaoer, who is in charge of the affairs of the scout camp, has not yet returned, and Su Congjin is temporarily in charge of all matters in the scout camp.

"My lord, the scout camp found more than a dozen Houjin Tartars, swaggering and galloping on the official road, the scouts surrounded them, killed seven of them, captured four alive, and none of the Houjin Tartars escaped, this is a letter from the Houjin Tartars found by his subordinates."

Zheng Xunrui took the letter and was a little stunned after tearing it open.

It was full of some strange words, and Zheng Xunrui understood after a little thought, this is a document written in Manchu, and it seems that the content is very crucial.

In fact, the Qing Dynasty began to study Confucian culture a long time ago, even if it was the communication between the Manchu nobles, many times it was in Chinese, and it was very rare to write letters in Manchu, and it is said that Manchu was very difficult to learn, and it was not easy to write. But once the document was written in Manchu, it was very important, at least not to let the Han people know what it was about.

Manwen couldn't help Zheng Xunrui, and he quickly found Hong Xintao. conAd1();

Hong Xintao recruited sergeants on a large scale in Shaanxi. Among the soldiers recruited, many came from the Mongol tribes outside the Guan, and among these tribes, there were also Manchus from Liaodong, but the number was very small, and these Manchus joined the Zheng army. He grew his hair and was not much different from the Han people in appearance.

This is also a special request put forward by Zheng Xunrui at the beginning, Zheng Jiajun must be inclusive of all rivers and rivers and recruit sergeants from all aspects.

Four Manchurians from the Zheng family's army were found, and they began to translate the documents, while Li Panlong recorded them in detail on the side.

A quarter of an hour later, all the documents were translated.

Zheng Xunrui fell into deep thought, and Zheng Jinhong issued an order to postpone the departure of the army. Wait for orders.

Officers above the rank of staff general were again concentrated in the tents of the Chinese army, which had not yet been removed.

"Wen Kun, read the contents of the document to everyone."

Wen Kun quickly finished reading the content of the paperwork.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Jinhong spoke first.

"This Dolgon's heart is very big, he actually made such a deployment, thinking that through the 150,000 Houjin Tartars, he will completely shake the Guanningjin defense line, and his heart can be punished."

Zheng Xunrui's expression became serious.

"You have all heard Dorgon's battle arrangements, and I have warned you a long time ago. This Dolgon is not simple, as the Prince Rui of Houjin, he participated in the conquest and battle at the age of sixteen, and made a lot of military achievements. Chongzhen's four-year battle of the Great Ling River, Dolgon made great contributions, and the first four princes canonized by the Emperor Taiji of Houjin, Prince Dai Shan, Prince Zheng Jierharang, Prince Su Haoge and Prince Rui Dolgon, everyone is not simple, everyone can be independent. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, we defeated Duoduo, the prince of Yu, but in fact, Duoduo was only canonized as the king of the county at the beginning. ”

"Dolgon's game of chess is very big, I believe that when Dolgon led 150,000 Houjin Tartars and the Han army to enter the pass and plunder, they would never have thought of such a deployment, they just thought that they could plunder in Beizhili or other places, robbing more money, food and population, but as the battle progressed, Dolgon found the fighter. conAd2(); ”

"The army of the Northern Zhili Imperial Court is weak, the army led by Lord Xiong Wencan was defeated, and the white pole soldiers led by General Qin Liangyu were also annihilated, which made Dolgon make up his mind."

"You must know that Dolgon made such a strategic deployment, it is not simple, since the establishment of the Eight Banners, there is no military salary, their source of military salary, and my Ming Wei army is somewhat similar, the sergeants of the Eight Banners, soldiers in wartime, and they also have to work on weekdays, but these Eight Banners are getting stronger and stronger, and their sergeants do not need to continue to work, and the most important part of the source of the sergeants is to rely on fighting and looting, Chongzhen three and nine years, after the Golden Tartar twice entered the customs and plundered, During this period, he conquered many Mongolian tribes and invaded Korea, plundering countless riches. ”

"The soldiers of the Eight Banners are conquest, the first goal is money, Chongzhen's three and nine years of entry and looting, this is their main purpose, we can say that they have no ambitions, I have never understood a question before, that is, the Houjin Tartars entered the customs and plundered, why is it so brutal, not letting go of any ordinary people, now I faintly understand, I am afraid that this cannot be explained only by brutality."

"This time the situation has changed, Dolgon no longer focuses on the looting of money, but thinks of strategic deployment, this is a strategic deployment from the overall situation, once the Guanningjin defense line is in danger, according to the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian left and right battalions, you can imagine what kind of situation will happen to Beizhili and the capital, at that time, even if all the soldiers of the Zheng family army are pressed up, it will be a situation of taking care of one and losing the other."

"Fortunately, we have completely wiped out the two-way army led by Du Du and Kong Youde, and Dolgon's plan is no longer possible, but Dolgon's Houjin Tartars, Mongolian left and right battalions and Han army led by Dolgon are a total of 150,000 people, and we only defeated 40,000 of them, Dolgon still has 110,000 people under his command, and the Zheng family army only has more than 40,000 soldiers, thinking about completely defeating Dolgon, it is unlikely, and the Zheng family army cannot bear such heavy casualties."

"Since Dolgon has made such arrangements and deployments, then our operational deployment has also been adjusted accordingly. conAd3(); ”

"There are 40,000 Houjin Tartars and 30,000 Han troops outside the city of Yanqingzhou, the total number is 70,000, with these 70,000 people, if you want to take Yanqing City, the possibility is also not very large, and Dolgon will not take the risk, but if we go to attack these 70,000 people, the difficulty is not small, in terms of troop deployment, the Houjin Tartars have an advantage, and Dolgon is resourceful, the Zheng army may not be able to win the battle in a short time."

"What I'm most worried about is that the Zheng family army is attacked from the front and back, if the Zheng family army attacks the Houjin Tartars in Yanqing Prefecture, and the 40,000 people led by Turai and Geng Zhongming attack from behind, then the Zheng family army will be in great danger, and almost all of Yanqing and Changping are plains, once the battle begins, it will be cruel and hard-hitting."

Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui's hand pointed in the direction of Hejian Mansion.

"The 40,000 Houjin Tartars and Han troops led by Turai and Geng Zhongming are looting in the area of Hejian Mansion, we turned around and went in the direction of Hejian Mansion, and hit Turai and Geng Zhongming fiercely, with more than 40,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army against 40,000 Houjin Tartars and Han army, so that the certainty of the battle is much greater."

"Dolgon is not really thinking about attacking Yanqing City, but he is just taking the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and now he is thinking about shaking the Guanningjin defense line, the 70,000 troops under his command are stationed in Yanqing City, eating and drinking Lazar always want grain and grass, Du Du and Turai and others led the army out to plunder, and they are also responsible for providing grain and grass to Dolgon, we have defeated Du Du and Kong Youde, and then defeat Turai and Geng Zhongming, I see where Dolgon went to raise grain and grass, he wanted to follow the example of the battle of the Daling River of the year, Besieging Yanqing Prefecture City with superior forces and taking advantage of the situation to annihilate the reinforced imperial army is a good idea. ”

"You must all remember that when we defeat Turai and Geng Zhongming, it heralds the complete collapse of Dorgon."

"Zheng Jinhong, send scouts, day and night, inform Wang Xiaoer to return to the team, the climate of the reconnaissance in the direction of Hejian Mansion, from now on, provide detailed information, Wen Kun, Li Yan, Li Panlong, Xu Jikuang, you assist Zheng Jinhong, immediately work out a detailed marching plan, the army should not delay time, set off immediately, and march in the direction of Gu'an."

Everyone quickly deployed, and the depressed Ma Xianglin did not leave, he always remembered his mother Qin Liangyu.

Zheng Xunrui patted Ma Xianglin on the shoulder.

"General Ma, I know that you are worried about your mother General Qin, I have made arrangements for this matter, it was originally intended to exchange Du Du for General Qin, this arrangement will not change, but this matter will let the imperial court negotiate with Dolgon, on behalf of Zheng Jiajun, you escort Du Du and Kong Youde and others to the capital, I will write a letter to the first assistant of the cabinet, Lord Zhang Zhifa, the second assistant of the cabinet, Lord Zhang Fengyi, and the cabinet ministers Yang Yipeng and Yang Sichang, and you are personally responsible for the exchange of matters."

Ma Xianglin clasped his fists and saluted Zheng Xunrui.

"The subordinates thank you for your kindness, and the subordinates went to the capital this time, and after completing the task, they quickly returned to the team."

"Don't be so anxious, after seeing my mother, take me to say hello, Dolgon will not hurt General Qin, presumably he still wants to make some articles, my personal opinion, use Du Du to exchange General Qin, if Dolgon asks for it, then add Kong Youde, in short, it must be exchanged for General Qin."

To Zheng Xunrui's surprise, Ma Xianglin spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates agree to exchange Du Du for their mother, but they must not let go of Kong Youde, Kong Youde, as a Han Chinese, surrendered to the golden tartars, turned around and killed his compatriots, and died innocently, if Dolgon made such a request, his subordinates would never agree, and presumably his mother would not agree."
