Chapter 981: The duel between the old and the new Eight Banners

Thirteen mountain station is one of the twenty-four post stations under the jurisdiction of General Shengjing, because there are thirteen mountains and get the name, the mountain is more than one mile high, more than 20 miles in the week, the peaks and peaks are listed, the size is wrong, the scenery is excellent.

At this time, flags were everywhere, and the mountains and peaks everywhere were occupied by the army. The occupation of the Thirteen Mountains was the Second Army, which crossed the Daling River to the east on the order of the Corps Headquarters, intending to lure the enemy in the direction of Shengjing and Quang Ninh to come to the aid of Jinzhou, and then carry out the task of encircling and reinforcing the points.

The army was the main force of the Restoration Army, formerly known as the Huguang Green Battalion and the Rehe Cavalry, with more than one infantry, cavalry, engineer and artillery officers and soldiers.

The military commander is Zu Yingyuan, and the chief of staff of the army is Ruilin. Both of them were born in the Eight Banners of the Han Army, one ancestor was the former Ming general Zu Dashou, and the other was Qianlong.

Unlike Admiral Zu Yingyuan's willingness to participate in the Restoration, Ruilin's process of participating in the Restoration was more tortuous, and he was forced by his subordinates to take refuge and follow the Six Emperors closely.

Because his subordinates, under the bewitchment of the six emperors, made a large-scale transfer of the property of the capital and the kings.

The result of "poverty alleviation" is that neither Ruilin nor the cavalry of the Green Battalion of the Beijing Division under his command has no way back.

If the Qianlong Dynasty is not overthrown, the ominous events in the city will always be a long knife hanging around their necks. As the main force, the Second Army has two infantry towns and six associations, another artillery association, one cavalry association, one engineer association, and one baggage association, equipped with more than 7,000 guns and 125 large and small artillery pieces.

The third town of infantry is under the command of Xindasu of the Sauron, and the fourth town is Cui Hengyou, who was born in the Han army, and although the artillery and cavalry are the establishment of the association, the commander is the command level, which is Ma Deli from Sauron, and Song Guozhong from the Han people.

The former also served as the captain of His Majesty the Emperor's guard, and the latter was the commander of the Jingshi Green Battalion Horse Infantry under Ruilin.

After the Second Army arrived at the Thirteen Mountains Station, Zu Yingyuan and Chief of Staff Ruilin went to a high place to reconnoiter the surrounding terrain with a clairvoyant scope, and then ordered all units to seize the commanding heights, deploy fortifications, and build four pontoon bridges on the two tributaries of the Daling River flowing through the Thirteen Mountains area, so as to ensure that the connection with the rear was not interrupted, and at the same time, the cavalry troops dispersed to explore the cavalry within a radius of 50 miles.

The cavalry association of the Second Army was adapted and expanded from the original Rehe Cavalry Regiment, and most of its members were poor Mongolian herdsmen recruited in the pastoral area when the chief of staff of the army, Ruilin, served as the deputy commander of Rehe, so they were very skilled in equestrianism.

In order to ensure the loyalty and reliability of these Mongolian cavalry, Ruilin took advantage of the position of deputy commander of Rehe to concentrate the family scrolls of the Mongolian soldiers under his command in the area of the Mulan enclosure.

Later battles proved this. Taking the money of the six emperors to do the things of the six emperors, the ideological consciousness of the poor Mongolian soldiers in the past was so simple and unpretentious.

Constant news from the surrounding area indicates that a large cavalry force composed of Monangols has probably appeared in the area from Quang Ninh to Da Ling River.

Although it is not yet possible to determine how many Mongol cavalry there were, all indications indicate that there will be no less than 10,000 men. If the Second Army continued to march towards Quang Ninh, it would most likely be attacked by the Mongol cavalry on the way.

The well-equipped infantry may be able to fight back in the face of the impact of hundreds or thousands of cavalry, but in the face of the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, no matter how highly confident Zu Yingyuan is in his military command ability, he will not dare to swagger eastward as before.

After sending the news back to the Corps headquarters, Zu Yingyuan decided to station his troops in the area of the Thirteen Mountains, where the terrain was conducive to infantry defense and could also cut off the transportation and supply lines from Quang Ninh to Jinzhou.

If the enemy really wants to rescue Jinzhou, it is necessary to open up the Thirteen Mountain Stations, so that the Second Army can take advantage of the favorable terrain to kill and injure the enemy on a large scale.

If the enemy does not save Jinzhou, the Second Army will deploy at the 13 Mountain Station, which can also ensure that the friendly forces will not be disturbed in any way during the attack on Jinzhou.

Jinzhou could not be taken by encircling the point and sending reinforcements, and the strategic intention of the Eastward Advance Corps was very clear. The corps headquarters quickly called back to agree to the arrangement of the Second Army, and forwarded an airdrop warrant from His Majesty the Emperor: "Whoever dares to seal the wolf Juxu, who dares to extort merit from Yan Ran, who dares to smash the Yellow Dragon, and who dares to cross the sword immediately!" This warrant made the morale of the Second Army from the generals to the officers and soldiers high, and the commander of Xindasu asked the admiral to fight, asking him to lead the town to Quang Ninh to induce the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces to attack, and then the rest of the Second Army gave the Manchu and Mongolian thief army a counter-encirclement from the periphery, and fought for the completion of the battle.

Zu Yingyuan did not agree with Xindasu's bold idea, and strictly ordered that no unit should act without the order of the military department.

It turned out that Zu Yingyuan's caution was right, and in the area around the Second Army, the allied forces composed of the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai and the Mongol tribes in Southern China were staring at them.

Not more than 10,000 people judged by the Second Army, but 50,000 people! All cavalry. The commander of the coalition army is the eldest son of Kangxi's eldest son, Yinyu's son Hongsheng, due to his father's historical reasons, Hongsheng actually does not have a good impression of the fourth master Yongzheng, so when he heard that Qianlong was asked to go to the field by the provinces, not only did not express his attitude at the first time, but was a little gloating.

However, Hongsheng also missed the opportunity to become a hat king, because when a major change occurred in the Guannai, he foolishly adopted the three no-attitudes of non-interference, non-blocking, and non-participation.

In folk parlance, it is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Then, the crisis struck. The Emperor of the Restoration, who peacefully resolved the Jingshi, sent an envoy out of the customs to demand that Hongsheng and others immediately and unconditionally obey the central government and immediately return to Beijing to report on their work.

If Hongsheng can return to Beijing at this time, it may also be an opportunity for him and his relatives who have been imprisoned in the management office.

After all, the Six Emperors don't like to do things perfectly. Where Nengren is, he will definitely not be unfilial. As a result, Hongsheng once again misjudged the situation, neither publicly telegraphed the whole country to support the Restoration, nor telegraphed to oppose it, and at the same time waited and saw and at the same time pulled and pulled with Heilongjiang and Jilin.

As a result, not long ago, the Six Emperors issued an order to tour the east, determined to solve the Eight Banners Group outside the Guanwai by force. Hongsheng also had no way out, and the news from Beijing was similar to when Wu Sangui heard that Li Zicheng had tortured and robbed his house in Beijing.

The two sides had to fight one battle. Fortunately, the Imperial Court of the Restoration of the Jingshi sent a good ally to Hongsheng.

The Mongol tribes of Southern Mo led by the Horqin Tribe. With a common enemy, there is naturally a common interest.

Hongsheng personally led more than 7,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of Shengjing to join the Mongol kings. Fu Yu, the general of Jilin, also brought more than 4,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners to join the division.

In addition, Ningguta Dutong Nalan Cheng'an also brought more than 3,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners stationed in the garrison, plus the rest of the places transferred, nearly 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers were put together.

Nalan Cheng'an's ancestor is the important minister of the Kangxi Dynasty, Mingzhu, this person also served as the minister in charge of Xiling, he left his post and went to Ningguta to take over his position after taking over the capital.

Heilongjiang General Fu Chun did not come, Heilongjiang garrison Eight Banners strength is limited, can only support Shengjing spiritually, if you really want to send troops over, at most you will send more than 1,000 people, whether you come or not is not of much value.

Another reason is that most of the Sauron soldiers who can fight the Eight Banners outside the pass have entered the pass, and the remaining Sauron soldiers are unwilling to enlist for some reason after receiving Fu Chun's conscription and mobilization order.

If the Sauron people don't fight, Fuchun will have even less courage to send someone to join Hongsheng. He also has no ability to arrest the Sauron soldiers who disobey the order, and he is probably thinking about it now.

If Hongsheng wins the battle against that devil six, he Fuchun will mobilize an army to follow him even if he smashes the pot and sells iron.

If you can't win... It's hard to say. The Mongol tribes of Mobei, General Uriya Sutai and General Yin Li and other places, Hongsheng also sent people to contact, but these places are too far away, even if they are willing to participate in this Manchurian-Mongolian alliance, they have more than enough strength but not enough.

In the end, it was more than 9,000 Mongol soldiers led by Wangzal Dorji, the prince of Darhan on the left wing of Horqin; The prince of Tushetu, Lashnamzal, also personally led troops to the alliance, with more than 7,000 cavalry; The prince of Zoriktu, Gonggarabutan, brought the largest number of soldiers, more than one man.

The ancestor of Gonggara Bhutan is Wu Keshan. The Manchurian and Mongolian princes and ministers met with the Xinmin Inspection Division of the Juliu River in Shengjing and formed a bloody alliance.

The situation of the alliance is like the alliance between Emperor Taizong and the Mongolian tribes, and the momentum is very big, and he also killed a white horse.

In this alliance, Hongsheng, who is the eldest son of Kangxi, was publicly promoted by the princes and ministers of the alliance

"Leader", that is to say, the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces can defeat the puppet army of the Restoration, and Hongsheng will become the emperor of the Great Freshness.

The temptation of the dragon chair made Hongsheng's rebellious heart more resolute, and his subordinates who wanted to follow the dragon The Eight Banner officers were also grinding their fists, eager to sweep the pass like the regent Dolgon when he entered the pass a hundred years ago, and then enjoy the glory and wealth of the pass.

In order to win the support of the ministers outside the Guan, Hongsheng has secretly promised four hat kings and no less than five dukes.

The process of wooing is very similar to that of the Six Emperors, and even the words of persuasion are almost the same. The difference is that Hongsheng pulled people empty-handed, and the six emperors slapped the money on the table in real time.

This can't be blamed for Hongsheng's lack of sincerity, who makes Guanwai poor. The battle plan formulated by the Manchurian and Mongolian coalition forces was to attract the new army in Jinzhou, and when the new puppet army was difficult to move under the city, the main force of the coalition army would take advantage of the situation to fight again, and the battle would be decided.

The plan is not wrong, and the opportunity is also great, after all, Jinzhou has just been repaired and reinforced, and there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the city.

In history, Jinzhou was indeed difficult to overcome, and the former Ming Dynasty did not surrender until the battle of Songshan was decided, and the ancestor of Jinzhou did not surrender.

Previously, the Qing army besieged Jinzhou several times without success. But soon Hongsheng found that he could no longer carry out the original plan, because the puppet army dared to divide his troops to cross the Daling River and approach in the direction of Guangning, and the news from Tanma showed that this puppet army was mainly infantry, about 20,000 or 30,000 people.

An equally bold battle plan was quickly finalized by the Manchu and Mongolian princes and ministers, that is, to concentrate the main force of the coalition army and swallow the puppet army that had crossed the Daling River and penetrated into the lone army.

Both sides wanted to swallow each other, and as time progressed, a big battle finally broke out between the two sides at the Thirteen Mountains Station on the 21st of the lunar month.
