Chapter 656: Jinan Falls

From the point of view of military science, the Qing army's maneuver was quite beautiful. This shows Dorgon's superb command art and the Qing army's strong military demeanor.

You must know that this was made when the Qing army completely wiped out the two Ming armies of Lu and Gao. Now the Ming army that dares to fight in the field is only Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army with 10,000 men and horses (Dolgon got the information, he didn't know that there was Wu Shigong's Runing army).

Moreover, the Ruzhou army is basically all infantry, and it is far inferior to the Qing army in terms of combat effectiveness and mobility, but it has some bright spots in defense. Dolgon believed that as long as he did not take the initiative to attack the large camps and cities defended by the Ruzhou army, if the Ruzhou army caught up, the Qing army could easily take this Ming army in the field. In other words, the Ruzhou Army was no longer a threat in Dolgon's eyes, at most a minor nuisance.

According to common sense, the average army has relaxed its vigilance, if not proudly, after winning a great victory. However, the Qing army still guarded against arrogance and rashness, and completed tactical actions such as feints, sharp turns, and rapid advances meticulously, which can also be seen that the prestige of the Qing army's victory in a hundred battles was really not a fluke.

Even more noteworthy: at the time, such a tactical move was absolutely difficult. For example, if the sharp turn is replaced by the Ming army, if half of the troops are not broken up during the sharp turn, it can already be called a strong army. And the Qing army did not even throw out the spies sent out, which shows the discipline and strict organization of the Qing army. Of course, this can also be seen that the commanding officers at all levels of the Qing army have the control of the troops.

However, Dolgon's tactical move was not for "show", he just instinctively made such a feint based on a good commander. Maybe he also thought in his heart that this was a useless exercise, and he had some feelings of flattering the blind man, but this feint really deceived both the Runing Army and the Ruzhou Army.

The Runing Army and the Ruzhou Army marched north for three days and entered Baoding Province. But at this time, they also felt that something was wrong. There is no trace of the army walking ahead! So where did the Qing army go?

So the two armies stopped, Wu Shigong and Yu Zilian met first and summed it up, and then they decided: the Runing army will be stationed in Baoding Mansion, no longer close to the capital to avoid suspicion, and the Ruzhou army and a reinforced cavalry association still go straight to the capital, even if the capital is safe and sound, also ask for peace of mind.

On the day of Zuihou in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Yu Zilian led 14,000 people to the capital. The imperial court was also a little unimpressed with this army that they had almost forgotten, because there were too many troops from all over the country to King Qinwang in the capital. It was nothing more than a few words of encouragement to Yu Zilian, and then sent out to arrange a garrison.

But when Yu Zilian took out more than 500 heads of the Qing army, and the military department confirmed that they were all real Tartars, the government and the opposition immediately became a sensation. After the Qing army entered the customs, the court was in mourning. When he learned that Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian's army were wiped out one after another. There is a layer of pessimism in the capital. But at this moment, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army turned out to be born. How is this not a morale boost?

So after the first day of the first month. Emperor Chongzhen personally summoned Yu Zilian, and then Yu Zilian immediately led the military department to the rank of squire. You must know that now it is the scholar Yang Sichang who is also the secretary of the Ministry of War, in case Yang Sichang resigns from the official position of the secretary of the Ministry of War in the future, Yu Zilian will be a popular candidate to take over, which can be seen how powerful Yu Zilian is over.

And Yu Zilian is extraordinarily superb. It was not opposed by any people in the government and the opposition, but attracted a lot of applause, which shows how strong the psychology of the government and the opposition is eager for a big victory!

Yu Zilian also immediately became a hot figure in the capital. From the first day of the first month to the twelfth day of the first month. Emperor Chongzhen summoned and listened to Yu Zilian's strategy three times, and the important ministers in the capital also feasted one after another to make friends with this rising political star.

The people of the capital are swept away from the decline, and there is a joyful atmosphere. The people spontaneously collected and sent to the Ruzhou military camp outside the city were piled up. Sadly, almost everyone has forgotten that the Qing army is still wreaking havoc in the Guannai. After entering the customs, the Qing army lost more than 1,000 people at most, and most of them were Mongolian herdsmen, so it can be said that they were unscathed.

This ridiculous anesthetic psychology is indeed very helpless, but the Qing army has made a big mess of the scenery, and they don't let the government and the opposition be anesthetized for a long time. On the thirteenth day of the first month, Shandong reported urgently: On the first day of the first month, the Qing army attacked Jinan, Jinan fell in one day, and Jinan fell.

On the night of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, in the city of Jinan.

"Master! This house was given to the minions by Lord Baylor, but there are only a few minions, and there are not so many, so I thought of the master first! Helichi said to Niu Lu Ezhen with a smile.

"How embarrassing! I heard that you killed a high-ranking official of the Ming Kingdom? Niu Lu really pretended to shirk it.

"Master, you smiled, after the minions rushed into the city, they met a man in a robe waving a sword, and the minion's coated white pig stepped forward and gave him a knife, but I didn't expect to learn later that he was something, what is it, I heard Lord Belle say, it seems to be related to cloth, and Lord Belle was happy, so he gave the things in this house to the minions." Hurley chuckled.

"You're so damned! Take what Lord Belle has rewarded! "Niu Lu is really still pretending.

"It's all in the Ye Niu Lu, where can I not think of the master!" Helichi's mouth was also quite sweet, "Besides, we are going to be a family." Also, Lord Belle also gave the slave a future, and the slave wanted to leave this future to the girl. ”

Niu Lu's eyes really lit up, if he married Hurley, wouldn't that future be left to his fourth son? So the cow was really pleased, and said with a smile: "Then I'm welcome." Then Niu Lu Ezhen instructed the seventy or so bannermen and Bao Yi who followed him: "The people are divided into two groups, don't pull down the territory assigned to us Niu Lu, one group of people go there, and the rest of the people go into the house!" ”

Before entering the house, the cow Lu Ezhen suddenly saw the white pig cowering behind Hurley's naked back, and he said to the white pig: "You slave is good! Pick a woman in the house later. After that, protect you well when you go out, and when you go back, your grandfather will carry the flag for you. ”

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, sir! The white pig hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Without waiting for the white pig to get up, this group of Qing soldiers rushed into the house like wolves and tigers under the leadership of Niu Lu Ezhen. After a while, the shouts of the Qing army and the screams of women came from the house.

"This Ming Kingdom is really rich! So haode fabrics they all hung on the door, all brought back! ”

"Don't be in a hurry! Go to each room and pack everything up. There are so many women here, don't rob them, everyone has a share, clean up and be happy! ”

……

Today's Jinan City is a hell on earth. (To be continued......)
