Once it will be successful, there are still thousands of bones withered, not to mention another day to rebel against fate and restart the country's fortunes.

Dolgon only saw the weakness of the Ming army's small number of soldiers, but he didn't know why the Ming army had few soldiers.

In the current troubled times, and even in the troubled times that will continue for more than 20 years in another time and space, as long as it is a feudal town, who will not pull up 100,000 horses in the blink of an eye? The grassroots yamen established by the East Palace in Shandong and Henan is not difficult to pull out two or three hundred thousand people overnight.

The point is, it's just men and horses, not warriors.

The soldiers of the Ming army were able to hold their positions when more than half of the battle was damaged, but the Qing army had luck at the beginning, and they were forced to carry thirty percent of the casualties, and in the end they couldn't bear it. That is known as the invincible Manchurian Zhenyi soldiers. If the proportion of the clothed slaves in the army is large, they will already flee before they reach 10% casualties.

Therefore, pulling non-combatants to the battlefield to fill up the numbers is not only inhumane but also unwise in Zhu Cihong's view. Those people will only cause panic to spread, create chaos, and at the end of the day, cause the entire army to lose its combat effectiveness, and it will collapse at the slightest touch, and flee in despair.

This concept has now been understood by the generals and schools of the Donggong system, so in the face of more than 200,000 troops, I have not heard anyone say that the people of Tianjin will be driven to the head of the city.

"The most feared thing is that someone will set fire to the city and open the door to release thieves." Xiao Donglou met Cao Ning, who was about to rush to the military meeting, in the officer's dormitory at the south gate, and naturally talked about the defense of Tianjin. He said: "The old and weak women and children are all transported away, and the young and strong who are willing to stay must obey the order in a unified manner, and those who dare to disobey the order will be beheaded." ”

Cao Ning said: "There are still people who don't want to go. ”

Many people do not want to leave their homes, even if they know that staying is a dead end. This is also expected, Xiao Donglou did not force it too much, and said: "Make it clear to them that we are here to live and die with the city." To stay. You have to obey military orders. ”

"It's all said, those civil officials are still persuading now." Cao Ning said: "If they leave, they can reduce a lot of burden." ”

"Tianjin Sanwei was the first military city, and most of the military households here are in the army, although they can't go into battle, it's no problem to do some auxiliary work. I really don't want to go. He was left to live and die with the city. Xiao Donglou thought for a while and said: "The burden you just said is nothing more than food, as long as you can guard the section from the city gate to the port, are you still afraid that the food will not come in?" ”

Cao Ning nodded.

In other cities, there are settlements first, and then there are cities. Tianjin, however, was first drawn by the imperial court, enclosed land to build a city, and then there was a population settlement. The original purpose of the city was to serve as a transportation hub to facilitate the transshipment of military resources and goods.

When Zhu Cihong went to Shandong, he really took away a group of Tianjin Wei military households. Even the ordnance manufacturing industry in the city even took the pot away, leaving nothing for the rebellion and the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After Xiao Donglou led the troops to recover, the population in the city was smaller than when Zhu Cihong left, and there were not many young and strong, so the people were not the focus of consideration.

Xiao Donglou and Cao Ning talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the Drum Tower in the center of the city. This building, which was completed during the Hongzhi period, has a brick arch and pierces the heart on all sides. Go up to the second floor of the building, and place the big bell in the center. Ez morning and dusk. Standing on the drum tower, you can almost see the whole city of Tianjin. It is precisely because of this that Xiao Donglou and Cao Ning were selected as the headquarters of the Second Division.

To the west of the drum tower is the Tianjin Right Guard Office, which has now been changed to the headquarters of the Second Division and the headquarters of the Discipline Department. The three warehouses of Dayun, Daying, and Guangbei to the east of the drum tower have already hoarded a large amount of military assets such as grain, cotton clothes, gunpowder, and shells. The household division inside the north gate served as the work area and dormitory for the scribes. The Left Guard Office, Minglun Hall, and Confucian Temple in the east gate have all been converted into field hospitals and wards.

Xiao Donglou saw the officers of the various battalions and departments waiting for the military meeting in the Drum Tower, and led the people up to the top floor. It has been set up as a war room. There is everything from maps to sand tables, all of which have been efficiently prepared for more than a month.

Cao Ning stepped forward to take a bamboo whip and began to report on the preparations for war in various places as the chief of staff. This part is simple and clear, and the officers present are personally supervising the construction of the defense section of the station, and they know it in their hearts. Cao Ning finished speaking. That's when these officers ask questions.

The officers didn't have any questions to ask, and the battalions had already been mobilized, and they were all gearing up to fight to the death with the Qing army. Lu Xiangsheng died in the heavy siege of the Qing army, and the hatred of his old troops for the East Emperor was the highest among the new army of the East Palace.

"With the Aobai Department as the vanguard, the army has 5,000 people, and the first battalion faces the Qing army and fights a positional battle with them. Mao Shi, do you have something to say? Xiao Donglou asked, touching the scar on his face.

Mao Shi got the position of the first battalion officer after the recovery of Tianjin, changed into a newly haired big red fat jacket, and the silver emblem on his shoulders shone brightly, and got up and said: "I have inspected all the defense areas, and I am confident that I will stop the enemy from outside the city." ”

The battalion officers of the other two battalions also expressed their stance one after another to ensure that their defense areas would not be lost. Xiao Donglou doesn't need to be extraordinarily instructed, they are all veterans here, and they know the power of military law.

"Tianjin is a place that must be defended, as long as the Dongyu can't cut off the Haihe River, we won't run out of food in the city. Even if the water pass is lost, the food stored in the city is enough for the whole city to hold on for a year! If that's the case, we can't hold Tianjin, it's really dead! After listening to the statements of the officers, Xiao Donglou can be regarded as making a mobilization order with its own characteristics.

"Defend the city to the death!" The officers shouted in unison.

……

"The Ming army has three defeats in this battle!"

Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

Dolgon sat opposite Bumu Butai, gently stroked his beard, put on the appearance of a "wise king", and raised his finger and said: "First, the Ming army has not a stable foothold, and the location is not advantageous; Second, this Ming army is not a native of Tianjin, and it is also a guest army, and it has no heart to protect its family. Most of the residents in Tianjin migrated to Shandong, and there were not many people left, so it was said that he was unfriendly; Third, the Ming army had just run for 100 miles and won a complete victory, so it must have been a group of arrogant soldiers. And our army returned from Qin and Jin in vain, and it was the mourning soldiers who would win. ”

Bumu Butai didn't understand military affairs, and he couldn't even speak Chinese. She just listened quietly and concluded: "In the opinion of the prince, our army is bound to win?" ”

"It has to be." Dolgon cut through the iron and said secretly in his heart: I raise an army of 200,000, if I can't even break the more than 10,000 Ming troops, what kind of battle will I fight?

Bumu Butai breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I and the other women don't know about the military formation, and everything depends on the two princes. ”

When Dorgon saw that Bumu Butai had brought Zilharang with him, he was not pleased. Thinking about it, he also made a great sacrifice to let Zilharang fight this victorious battle, and gave him the opportunity to increase his prestige. As soon as he thought of this, Dolgon naturally couldn't help but show some of his great talents in strategizing, and Bumu Butai also pretended to listen to it with relish.

The two were talking, only to hear the eunuch's report: The emperor has arrived. It turned out that seven-year-old Shunzhi came in from outside, and his hands were stained with thick ink.

Bu Mu Butai hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, "How do you slaves take care of your master? Look at the black hand! Don't you take your master to wash? ”

"Huang Eniang, Mr. today's praise is written powerfully." Shunzhi was very happy.

Bumu Butai disagreed, and said: "What is there to learn about those Chinese characters, we Manchu people only need to learn Manchu and Mongolian characters." The way to build a country is to be strong and strong, no matter how good the handwriting is, will it be driven out of the country? ”

Shunzhi's enthusiasm was suddenly poured into his heart. He knew that his mother didn't like the Han Chinese language, and he didn't even want to listen to Chinese, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Bumu Butai turned his head to Dolgon and said, "Lord Wang, why do you want to be invincible to my Eight Banners soldiers back then?" It is because of the division of public and private accounts. Later, the first emperor preferred to use Han bachelors, and all the gains were put into the public school. I don't think it's right. If they don't give the Zhushen warriors some gains, how can they be willing to serve their masters to the death! ”

Dorgon pursed his lips. Compared with those Manchus of the Two Yellow Banners, Dolgon is more inclined to sinicization. He is a person who has experienced the era of the first Khan, at that time, after the war, it was said that it was a public and private account, in fact, the valuable property and people were taken by the banner owners of each banner, and the following solid mountains and cattle were not much, and it was the turn of the general armor soldiers to have almost no spoils of war at all, and sometimes a bloody coat was sent away.

If it weren't for Huang Taiji coming to power, rectifying the flag affairs and collecting the flag power, how could there have been several great victories later? It was also from that time that the rush to the west was considered to benefit Zhushen, so that the whole of Manchuria was truly united, and it was the day of entry into the customs.

- If you don't use the Han system, your son won't even be able to sit as emperor.

Dolgon said something in his heart, and suddenly thought of his son's question. He has only had one daughter for so many years because of his health. As a last resort, he succeeded Dórd's son, Dolbo. Even so, if he can inherit Fulin, wouldn't he be too emperor? There is no need to usurp the throne, and you can also enter the Taimiao as an emperor.

- That's a really good idea.

Dolgon was once again impressed by his ingenuity, but he still had to take Tianjin back first, so that he could be regarded as opening the way out of the customs. Now there is still a Ming army outside the pass, and only the Eight Banners who are pinned on the hope that the Eight Banners who remain outside the pass can hold the pass first.

After gaining a great military advantage, Dolgon was much more energetic, and left the palace briskly and returned home. Before leaving, he didn't forget to stop and pat Shunzhi's shoulder, revealing a kind smile, to pave the way for some feelings to be the "imperial father" in the future.

Shunzhi was quite disgusted, and endured it until he couldn't see Dolgon's back, before he said to his emperor's mother: "Emperor's mother, gentlemen say: Let other men enter and leave the palace forbidden, it will be criticized." ”

"You know what, go play." Bumu Butai glanced at the little emperor and didn't think so.

Shunzhi looked up at Huang Eniang, whose attention had turned elsewhere, and once again turned his gaze to the door, bursting out with two fierce gazes that did not match his immature age. (To be continued......)
