Zuo Xiaocheng went to Liaodong once to give gifts to Dolgon on behalf of his lover.

However, no one in the Manchu Qing Dynasty was waiting to see him, and the traitors there were already rolling, always guarding against the new traitors coming to power.

There was no good development in Liaodong, and Zuo Xiaocheng immediately returned to the Chahar Department.

Although he slept with the wife of the chief of Chahar, he was not really hostile. The main reason is that Zuo Xiaocheng is good at making friends, and he can get food from Zhangjiakou, although there is not much food, but it still makes the nobles of the Chahar Department very happy.

By the way, the wool of the Chahar Department was also purchased by Zuo Xiaocheng and thrown to Cao Fengji for trafficking to the south.

Cao Fengji brought back salt and tea, and asked Zuo Xiaocheng to sell some to the Chahar Ministry.

came and went, Zuo Xiaocheng was particularly respected, and he worshipped everywhere in the Chahar Department. In this battle, he also took the initiative to ask for help and went south with the troops.

Dai Qin was taken aback, looked left and right, and whispered, "You have a way?" ”

Zuo Xiaocheng said: "Yes, I am a clan brother who works as a scholar in the Datong Imperial Court. Shang Shu was a great official, and he met the emperor when he followed. ”

Dai Qin was suspicious: "If the Qing Dynasty wins, Dolgon will take revenge on our Chahar tribe. ”

"The Manchus can't win," Zuo Xiaocheng asked, "do you know how many soldiers there were in the Datong court?" ”

"I don't know." Dai Qin shook his head.

Zuo Xiaocheng said: "The Datong Army has 17 divisions, each with 10,000 people. There are other separate battalions, separate brigades, separate regiments, and garrisons, which add up to a total of 200,000 people. These 200,000 soldiers don't need to farm or graze, they just practice and fight. They have to practice every day, with only three or five days off a month. ”

Dai Qin was dumbfounded, there were 200,000 soldiers, and they were still soldiers who were only in charge of fighting and drilling.

Zuo Xiaocheng said: "In addition to these 200,000 soldiers, there are also peasant soldiers in the Datong Imperial Court. The soldiers who planted the land and fought the war were gathered in millions. ”

Dai Qin swallowed, he couldn't imagine what an army of a million would look like.

Zuo Xiaocheng continued: "Don't look at the Datong army here, the number is not comparable to the Manchu Qing and Dashun. But in Henan and Liaodong, there are Datong armies fighting, and now I am afraid they are all fighting Dolgon and Li Zicheng's old nest. ”

Dai Qin was silent, weighing the gains and losses.

Zuo Xiaocheng fanned the flames and said: "The Chahar tribe is the tribe of the Great Khan of Mongolia. Although the Mongol Khan was dead, how could the Manchus not be guarded? Over the years, has the Manchu Qing been pressing Chahar? Did the Mongol tribes that had previously belonged to Chahar also follow the Manchus to suppress Chahar? Whether it is the Manchu Qing or the Mongol tribes, who of them wants to see the Chahar tribe strong again? If you don't take refuge in the Datong Imperial Court, if this goes on for a long time, will the Chahar Ministry still have a bright future? ”

These words really moved Dai Qin.

Of all the Mongol tribes of the Outer Domain, the Chahar was the most difficult. The Manchus were on guard, and other Mongol tribes were also on guard, for fear that the Chahar tribe would one day be revived.

Zuo Xiaocheng is still nagging: "Over the years, how many warriors of Chahar have died in battle?" How much of Chahar's pasture has been occupied? Ten, twenty, thirty years from now, the descendants of Chahar will have no pasture to graze! ”

Suddenly, Dai Qin gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaocheng and I answer, I listen to you, the Chahar Department can't go on like this!" ”

said that the descent went so smoothly because Zuo Xiaocheng was telling the truth.

Historically, even after the Manchu Qing unified China, the Chahar tribe was eventually forced to rebel, and it was dealt with very harshly after the rebellion.

At that time, all the Chahar nobles were condemned, and the Chahar chief was beheaded. The tribe was scattered and emigrated to other places for grazing. It is also stipulated that the Chahar Banner is not included in the 49 Mongolian Banners, and officials are not allowed to be hereditary, and their affairs are not allowed to take care of their own affairs. Then, Mongolian herdsmen such as Balhu and Buryatia were moved to the Chahar tribe to live together. The Chahar tribes, which were then forced to move westward, cultivated the land and changed from nomadic herding to farming.

The most powerful tribe of Mongolia was completely dismembered by the Qing Dynasty.

Dai Qin wanted to call his subordinates to give a lecture, but Zuo Xiaocheng stopped him and said: "There are many people with mixed eyes, so as to avoid leaking the news." It's not that I don't trust the Chahar warriors, but inevitably someone will say the wrong thing. Just tell a few trustworthy leaders to deal a fatal blow to the Manchus at the critical moment of the war! ”

"Good!"

Dai Qin recruited a few nobles with troops, and according to Zuo Xiaocheng's words, he said these Chahar nobles on the spot with righteous indignation.

They have been dissatisfied for a long time, like a barrel full of gunpowder, which will explode when plucked.

So these nobles whispered to their cronies.

By the time they returned to their camp in Tianjin, most of the Chahar cavalry already knew that they were going to defect.

Zuo Xiaocheng, a spy, is not strict in his work.

But it doesn't hurt, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty arranged eyeliner in Chahar, but now they all stay in the steppe. Those who came out to fight were all hard-working workers, charging for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

……

Tianjin city wall, 12 meters high.

And unlike when Zhao Han went south, the north and south city walls collapsed, and they had already been repaired by the local officials and the people.

To the north is the Wei River, and to the east is the Hai River, so there are no bridges over the river because of the need to run boats. First, it is too troublesome to fill in the Haihe River and Weihe River, and secondly, after filling in the outside, there is still a moat inside. And the whole process of filling the river is within the attack range of the city defense artillery, which is an almost impossible task.

Li Zicheng and Haoge decisively gave up attacking the city from the east and north.

After assigning the battlefield, Li Zicheng attacked the western wall, and Hauge attacked the eastern wall.

For several days, the river was filled with negative soil.

The artillery of the attacking side is more like cheering for the people. Because they wanted to besiege the city for reinforcements, they didn't really plan to capture Tianjin, and they had to save some artillery and ammunition - the city wall was too high and thick to be able to collapse in ten days and half a month.

The real battle, the first to break out in the triangle!

During the Jiajing period, due to the continuous construction of canal embankments, Yongding River, Daqing River, Juma River, Huangxia River, Wangjiatuo River, Duhe River, Yueshen River, Liudaokou River ...... A large number of rivers have poured into the triangular lake, forming a large lake with a radius of dozens of miles.

It is also because of the improvement of Caoyun that the triangular lake gradually dried up in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Now, it's the first battlefield.

Whether it was Li Zicheng or Haoge, the ships collected or built along the way were thrown to the triangle to fight against the Datong naval army.

Both sides are small boats, and it is really a big ship that is easy to run aground.

Although the area of the triangular lake is large, the water depth is less than three meters, and in some places it is even less than one meter.

Gu Jianshan, as the commander of the Datong Naval Division, has not fought for a long time, and the fleet is basically helping to transport supplies. This is estimated to be his last inland water battle, after which he will either become a naval general or capture water bandits on the Yangtze River.

However, there have been no bandits in the Yangtze River for a long time, and they are all the result of Gu Jianshan's idleness and boredom, so he drove the boat out to suppress the bandits when he had nothing to do.

"Fire!"

Fireworks-like flares rose into the air among the reeds, and countless boats were killed.

The triangle lake is ten miles northwest of Tianjin, and the Datong sailors have been practicing for two years, so they have long been familiar with the terrain here. The soldiers of Dashun and the Manchu Qing Dynasty seemed to be in a labyrinth, and they didn't even know where the ship was going.

Shallow lakes, aquatic weeds, reeds and other aquatic weeds are everywhere!

What was more beneficial to the Datong naval army was that Li Zicheng's soldiers came from the northwest, and Haoge's troops came from the northeast. A bunch of landlubbers, now fighting water wars, those who can swim are temporarily turned into sailors.

"Bang bang bang!"

The small boat of the Datong sailors came out of nowhere, quickly surrounded and annihilated the enemy army, and immediately hid in the reeds after seizing the ship.

The whole battle was like beating a child.

Before the moat in Tianjin could be filled, Li Zicheng and Dolgon's soldiers were completely driven out of the triangle.

"Your Majesty, you can't camp here," Yizi Zhang Nai admonished, "We are all from the northwest, where can we beat the southerners in a water fight?" As soon as the triangle lake is lost, the reinforcements of the puppet same can come directly by boat and arrive ten miles northwest of Tianjin through the triangle lake. Behind our camp, dozens of miles of water, there may be a sneak attack by the puppet army at any time. ”

Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu and other Dashun generals stayed in Shanxi to guard against Henan's Datong army.

Liu Zongmin is north of Baoding, and the camera moves.

Zhang Nai was the number one general who followed Li Zicheng and commanded all of Li Zicheng's cavalry.

"It's hard to ride a tiger!"

Li Zicheng was depressed, and his subordinates came to Tianjin, but at that time, there was a great drought in the north, and the triangle lake completely dried up into a bathtub.

Although it is said that there is a big lake near Tianjin, where could Li Zicheng have thought that it is actually a big lake within a radius of dozens of miles.

I knew this was the case, and I still beat a ghost in Tianjin!

There is a river in the north, a river in the east, and a lake in the northwest, and everywhere is unfavorable to the attacker.

After thinking about it, Li Zicheng ordered: "The whole army will move to Dinggu and burn the reeds on the east bank of the triangle lake, and cut off those that can't." Build a fort on the shore, keep the sentry on guard at all times, and fire artillery as soon as there is an enemy situation! ”

On Haoge's side, when he received Li Zicheng's news, the whole person was directly stupid.

Big brother, you are north of the canal, I am south of the canal, let's talk about attacking the city together, and when we encounter pseudo-reinforcements, we will respond to each other. You don't say a word, retreat to the T-Gu, what the hell am I still doing here? If the puppet reinforcements are really coming, my Manchurian warriors will have to be dumplings!

But Li Zicheng didn't dare to stay, Triangle Lake had been occupied by the Datong Army. As long as there are enough ships, 10,000 Datong troops can sit in small boats, and under the cover of the reeds, they can appear in Li Zicheng's rear anytime and anywhere.

"Move to the east!" Hauge could only retreat.

Haoge not only wants to withdraw to the east of the city, but even wants to withdraw directly to Liaodong, what the hell is this fighting?

The west and south sides of Tianjin are set aside, where is the siege? Reinforcements, grain and grass can be transported into Tianjin in a steady stream through the canal.

And Li Zicheng withdrew to the north, and Hauge withdrew to the east, which were the two most difficult to attack. The Wei River and the Hai River are enough for them to fill in slowly, and then fill in the moat after they are filled.

Zhang Tieniu stood on the city tower, looked at the transferred enemy troops with a clairvoyant mirror, and immediately laughed: "This is teasing Lao Tzu." ”
