Chapter 626 Welcoming the Great Soldiers
Shen Sheng died inside, Chong'er survived outside, Dolgon became regent, and Hauge had to ask for orders to go to Shenyang in order to protect himself, his intention was to break away from Dolgon's control and move closer to Zilharang in North Korea, in order to keep warm.
Although Dolgon knew what Hauge's idea was, Shenyang, as the former capital of the Qing Dynasty, even if he had the support of most of the Manchurian princes and nobles, had to agree to Hauge's request to send troops to restore the Qing Dynasty's old capital.
On July 21 of the first year of Yongli, Haoge finally came to the city of Shenyang after collecting the money and grain from Zhenjiang Fort, Fushun and Tieling.
This time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty transferred a total of 63 Niu Lu from the Zhenglan Banner and 25 Niu Lu from the Zheng Huang Army of the Han Army, together with the accompanying Baoyi and Aha of the army, with a total strength of 30,000 troops.
In the face of the aggressive offensive of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who remained in Shenyang, Li Rui, the governor of Liaodong, Hui Dengxiang, the general of Xinsanzhen, Daniel Zhang, the general of the fifth town, Yang Ji, the prefect of Shenyang, and Cao Bianjiao, the general of Shaanxi Town, all agreed that there was a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and that there were still nearly 100,000 Manchurian old and weak people in Shenyang.
After deciding on a belligerent defensive strategy, Li Rui ordered the new three towns of Huidengxiang's department to guard the two city walls southeast of Shenyang, and the new five towns of Daniel Zhang to guard the two city walls in the northeast.
In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the city, Li Rui also ordered people
Although Tezu chose to return to Ming anyway in the Jinzhou Campaign, and also took the initiative to deceive the Shenyang Desheng Gate for the Jingbei Army and participated in the purge of Manchurian Dingkou in the city, but now there is a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, although Li Rui does not think that the Tezu who is stained with Manchurian blood will have repeated thoughts, but he is careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship and separate his military horses, also just in case.
Shenyang, as the capital of the puppet Qing Dynasty, is the largest city in Liaodong, with high walls and wide pools, and more than 10,000 Ming troops in the city.
After observing the city defense, Hao Ge and the ancestor of the Han Army Zhenghuang Banner Banner thought that the Ming army was heavily guarded, even if the Qing Dynasty entered Shenyang this time, carrying 20 Hongyi cannons, it may not be able to break through the Ming army's city defense, and now Dolgon is powerful, in order to preserve his strength, Hao Ge did not want to spend his last family wealth on the city wall of Shenyang, so he decided to adopt the strategy of the Qing Dynasty besieging Jinzhou the year before last, and used the siege strategy to trap the defenders in the city to death.
Of course, he chose the plan of besieging the city, and also had the intention of forcing the Jingbei army out of the city, although the Jingbei army repeatedly defeated the Qing Dynasty, but in the view of the conceited and brave Haoge, the eight banner soldiers with absolute superiority would never be defeated by the isolated Shenyang defenders, on the contrary, once the field battle was won, it would greatly encourage the morale of the Eight Banners army, and it would be beneficial and harmless to capture Shenyang.
Relying on the superiority of the army, Haoge ordered Aha and Baoyi, who accompanied the army, to dig three trenches wide and two zhang wide and two zhang deep along the periphery of Shenyang, and arranged a large number of thistles in front of the trenches, and then the deep ditches were high and the walls began to be built.
Seeing that the Manchurian defense line was gradually closing, Yang Ji and Hui Deng and other generals of the Jingbei Army were helpless, because they knew that there was not enough food and grass in the city, and they were worried that the imperial army would not be able to attack the hinterland of Liaodong in time, so they had to ask Li Rui to go out of the city to meet the enemy.
Cao Bianjiao, who was bent on revenge, even tried his best to go out of the city to engage in battle, so as to delay the speed of the Qing army's construction of defense lines.
"Ben Shuai is entrusted by King Yan, and those who speak lightly will be killed immediately."
Li Rui, the governor of Liaodong, categorically rejected the request of the generals, and his task was to hold the fulcrum of Shenyang and disperse the military forces of the Manchurians in western Liaoning, not to go out of the city and fight with the Manchurians for their own safety, as for what to eat? Li Rui thought that he could completely emulate what the Manchurians and the current Manchurian Han army Zhenghuang Banner Master Zu Dashou did, and used 100,000 taels of sheep in the city to satisfy his hunger.
In the eyes of ordinary people, eating two-legged sheep is almost no different from beasts, but in Li Rui's view, this is just a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, not to mention that Grandpa Yue Wumu also said that Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughs and thirsts for Hun blood, and in the face of the murderous Yidi, only to fight violence with violence, so that it is the true character of a husband.
At the same time that the Dongyu soldiers surrounded Shenyang, the fifth town of the Jingbei Army also arrived at the original Dongjiang Town's hometown Pi Island by ship.
After paying homage to Mao Wenlong, Zhang Pan, Chen Jisheng and other heroes of the Dongjiang River, Zhang Wu immediately sent troops to Tieshan, Changcheng and Yizhou, which were important port towns connecting Liaodong in North Korea, intending to cut off the back road of the puppet Qing auxiliary prince Jierharang, whose Manchuria was inlaid with a blue flag to return to Liaodong.
Since the main force of the Jingbei Army's naval division had already moved south, the main naval division of the Liao expedition was the Lushun detachment under Pan Xuezhong's command, which had 130 sand ships, 13 No. 1 ships, 10 birds, and 36 ships.
Although the strength of such a naval division is far from that of the southbound fleet of the Jingbei Army, it is a giant existence for the eastern captives without a naval division, especially the No. 2 Fu Boat and the Ping-Bottom Sand Boat, which is most suitable for blockading the Yalu River, which is only 100 zhang wide.
Before the expedition, Jin Yong and Yang Zhen, the deputy generals of the fifth town, were a little worried, after all, it had been several years since North Korea returned to Manchuria, and Tieshan was close to the Yalu River ferry, such a material transfer area, it was impossible for the Dongyu not to send troops to garrison, if it could not be attacked for a long time, in case Jierharang returned to the north, as long as the artillery was erected at the head of the city, the firepower of the Dongyu could completely cover the entire river, and the plan of the Jingbei Army to block the waterway of the Yalu River would be bankrupt.
As soon as the clinker fleet arrived at the city, the Korean people in the city fell into a frenzy, and one by one they picked up their shovels and flat poles and rushed to the Manchurian soldiers left behind in the city.
"Da Ming is back, and he will kill slaves with Ben!"
"Da Ming is back, and he will kill slaves with Ben!"
In order to flatter himself, Jin Dajun not only offered his two wives and concubines, but also willingly searched for the Korean people who dared to resist the Manchurians for the Manchurians, but he never expected that this slave who he regarded as a pig and a dog would stab him in the back with a knife at the moment when the Sun and Moon Banner of the Ming Kingdom appeared.
As countless North Korean soldiers and civilians poured into the head of Changcheng, the more than 300 Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers who remained in Changcheng were torn to pieces by the red-eyed Koreans in only half a pillar of incense.
Before the Jingbei Army, which had not fired a single shot, had no time to get off the ship, the North Korean soldiers and civilians in Tieshan City collected a large amount of grain, wine and meat, and sent them to the wharf to reward the Great Tomorrow Army.
