As a hardcore traitor who put his entire net worth and life on the side of "my Daqing", Kong Youde certainly did not dare to hesitate at all about the dispatch of any master.

He knew very well that if he was really overturned by Da Ming one day, then a person like him would definitely be crushed and burned to ashes without a place to be buried.

So after receiving the order, Kong Youde immediately made great preparations to ensure that he could attack on the same day.

Of course, Kong Youde is not mentally retarded, he is just greedy for merit and dares to sell his life, which does not mean that he is not cautious in combat.

While preparing, he did not forget to ask the messenger about the military situation ahead: "Dare to ask the envoy, I don't know how many men and horses there are in the Ming Army's naval division this time?" Who is the general? ”

The envoy had been sent by Azig and had apparently had a preliminary understanding of the enemy's situation. He didn't deliberately deceive Kong Youde, so according to the understanding of the Azig Ministry, he said truthfully:

"The Ming army has about one or two hundred large ships, which can transport at least 20,000 people! Otherwise, it is impossible to remove the remnants of Cao Bianjiao and Li Fuming, and the king of Gongshun can't underestimate the enemy.

This time, it is still mainly to attack and besiege, and it is okay if it cannot be attacked. As long as you can sneak attack its weak and attack the troop carriers of the Southern Barbarians, the two princes will definitely remember your great achievements. ”

It turned out that when Azig sent troops to Beacon Hill to attack, some of the sea ships of Zheng Chenggong's army were still floating in the open sea, at least dozens of miles away from the shore, and Azig could not be found on a lookout.

This is not that Zheng Chenggong deliberately avoided revealing his true strength, but mainly to prevent accidents, such as being blown too close to the shore by the wind and waves, and having too few melee troops on the ship to be captured by the Tartars.

Therefore, only the transport ships needed to carry the number of Li Fuming and Cao Bianjiao's troops, plus the dozen or so gunboats equipped with Hongyi cannons, were left near the dock.

This is also the usual basic operation of a general who is well versed in naval tactics, and there is no need to let a large ship with only a few sailors easily get too close to the shore, which will only add to the chaos.

Azig didn't know about this factor, so he lowered the number of ships of the Ming army by half, not because he was virtuous.

Rao is like this, Kong Youde was a little startled when he heard that there were one or two hundred sea ships on the other side, and he made a decision in his heart almost at the same time: it is true that he can't go head-to-head with the main force of the Ming army! Especially avoid the gunboats! It should be quietly attacked and specially selected to burn the troop carrier!

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

He paused for a moment and continued to ask: "In this way, Xiao Wang has a number in his heart, but the envoy has not yet answered, who is the general of the Ming army this time?" Could it be that he was in a hurry and didn't find out? ”

To the second half of the question, the envoy answered very cheerfully: "I have already inquired, the warships of the Ming army have flags, and in the bloody battle this morning, many prisoners of war under Cao Bianjiao's command were captured and tortured to reveal some information."

The commander of this Ming army naval division is Zhang Mingzhen, the deputy chief soldier of the sea road, but there is also a civilian official in the fleet, named Zheng Chenggong, although he is only eighteen years old, he is already in a high position, and he has achieved the title of sea road promotion and the head of the household department in Nanjing, I heard that he is the eldest son of Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, and he has won the cultivation of the family.

Zhang Mingzhen should have come to escort this son-in-law, and the Zheng family should have given Zhang Mingzhen so many Hongyi cannons because of this relationship, in order to let Zhang Mingzhen take his eldest son to make meritorious contributions! ”

After Kong Youde listened, he immediately made up an image of a hakama boy who eats, drinks, and drifts.

An eighteen-year-old milky boy who has just joined the company! actually did the six products of the six departments, and the sea road was promoted!

What can this waste snack do! Of course, I came up by fighting my father! The decay of this Ming Dynasty is really disgusting! People who really have the merit of fighting with a knife and a shot cannot be reused, these beasts who rely on their father's wealth can climb to such a high position at the age of eighteen!

Kong Youde is from a bitter background, of course, he is very hateful to the rich, especially the second generation of the enemy official and the second generation of the rich. Coupled with the hardships he endured in those years in the Ming Dynasty and the old hatred of being squeezed out and framed by civil officials, he immediately characterized Zheng Chenggong as a waste snack promoted by his father.

Kong Youde groaned: "Then it seems that the main thing to face in today's battle is Zhang Mingzhen." This person has also heard of this king, when this king returned to the Qing Dynasty, this Zhang Mingzhen was just a battalion under Ning Shaohaidao to defend Zhoushan.

In terms of the combat power when I exterminated the Haikou back then, this name is far below me! In the past seven or eight years, this kind of person has crossed the guerrilla general of the capital division and has been promoted all the way to the deputy chief soldier, probably because of the officialdom of colluding with Zheng Zhilong and helping his son cheat, and the Zheng family helping him spend money to dredge up the officialdom! ”

After thoroughly understanding the enemy's situation, Kong Youde became more confident, and according to his own brain, he strengthened the deployment of troops in a targeted manner. After the troops had dinner, they were ready to sail out on the boat.

After boarding the ship, Kong Youde was adrift on the sea, idle and idle, and he made up for his great future after this meritorious service.

I heard that this year, His Majesty (Huang Taiji) intends to officially expand the Han Army Flag from four flags to eight flags. Originally, he got inside information, because his qualifications to vote are relatively shallow, and it is estimated that he can only be the real Mailer (deputy flag owner) of the red flag.

If you can help the two masters of Azig and Zilharang make great contributions this time, then maybe you can jump to the next level and directly become the Gushan Ezhen (flag master)!

The Han military flag of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was officially set up as early as the seventh year of Chongzhen and the king of Sanshun successively, and now it has been eight years of construction.

It's just that at the beginning, the total strength of the Han Army Banner was relatively small, so all of them were compiled under one banner, and the oldest veteran traitor Tong Yangxing was Ang Bang Zhangjing (the head of the Han Army Banner, this position Tong Yangxing held until his death, that is, no matter how many flags the Han Army Banner was removed later, above each flag Gushan Ezhen, there was also Ang Bang Zhangjing in charge of all the Han Army Flags)

In the next eight years, it was first split into two in the ninth year of Chongzhen, and then split into four in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and now in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, it can be regarded as the official four split into eight, and all the establishments have been completed.

When appointing the banner owners, the Manchu Qing mainly looked at the time and seniority of the Qing Dynasty, but they did not look at the official position in the Ming court and the number of soldiers and horses they brought.

Therefore, in history, after the Eight Banners Lord raised his sex, it was first the turn of Shi Tingzhu and Ma Guangyuan, the two Ming Dynasty generals during the Apocalypse. Later, when it was expanded to the Four Banners, it was Zu Zerun's turn and Wang Shixuan to add to it, and they were all cleared during the Apocalypse.

Kong Youde and others who surrendered after the Wuqiao Mutiny in the fifth year of Chongzhen, although they brought many troops and were named the king of Sanshun, they could not bypass the seniority. They came late, and according to the plan, they could only be a deputy in each banner, and they could not be a regular Gushan Ezhen.

Unless you happen to make a great contribution at this juncture!

Today, there are more than 130 Niu Lu's troops in the Han Army Banner. According to the establishment, there are 25 cattle records per banner, and a total of 200 cattle records should be required for the eight banners to be considered full.

Therefore, in fact, Huang Taiji regarded the besieged Ming army Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Li Fuming, Cao Bianjiao and others as "about to be captured and surrendered" in advance, so he reserved about seventy or eighty Niu Lu for Hong Chengchou and others in advance.

Just wait for Hong Chengchou to be destroyed and surrender, and the troops under his command will also surrender, and the Qing Han army flag can suddenly increase by 30% of the troops out of thin air! Enough for 200 cows! Reach the heyday of the Eight Banners!

Unfortunately, more than 15,000 captives have fled to Beacon Hill, and 5,000 of them have returned to Shanhaiguan by ship.

If Huang Taiji, who was in the rear, was well-informed enough, he should immediately deduct at least twenty Niu Lu's Han Army Banner from the original plan, and even directly deduct one full flag.

This is like a war between the human race and the undead in Warcraft, every time the human race escapes one more militia, the meaning is not only that they have one more militia to survive, but also that the undead side has one less corpse resource for turning into skeletons, and the value of the account must be calculated twice.

Historically, the Han military flag, which will be expanded from four banners to eight banners this year, is estimated to be the "Seven Banners of the Han Dynasty" at most for the time being.

Unless Huang Taiji wants to save face, he directly grabs some strong men from the Han people in Liaodong to make up enough people and save face. But this kind of improvised strong man is definitely not as good as the prisoners of war of the Ming Army of the Nine Sides who have fought for many years.

……

The words were divided into two ends, Kong Youde was a strong soldier, and at the same time as he attacked and prepared to attack Zheng Chenggong's troop carrier.

Because of the agitation of Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Mingzhen, the Qing army had to accelerate the process of the campaign on other fronts at any cost.

Zilharang's troops did not dare to move much, because the land route was equally important to the siege of Jinzhou.

Before Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Mingzhen went on the expedition, when Shen Shuren explained the battle plan to them, he didn't mention rescuing Zu Dashou at all, because Shen Shuren opened the perspective hanging, he knew that there were too many traitors in the ancestral family, and this time Hong Chengchou came to save Zu Dashou, which was also a big pit.

Moreover, the ancestral family is a native of western Liaoning, and the local interests are intertwined, even if there are still one or two points loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the interests of his family are already destined to be tied to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they have long bet on both ends. The reason why they did not dare to directly and completely fall to the Manchus was only because the situation was not yet known.

But the problem is that Shen Shuren knew that Zu Dashou's family was a traitor, so Zheng Chenggong couldn't take risks, but Azig and Zierharang didn't know. In their opinion, if the Ming army wants to rescue the trapped troops in Liaodong, the priority of saving the ancestors should be quite high.

This miscalculation immediately led to the banner of Zilharang, and more than half of the troops did not dare to act rashly.

In the end, the decisive general attack on Songshan was only served by two Jiala, one Jiala of Zilharang, and a large number of cannon fodder of the Han Army Banner.

Fortunately, the Qing army finally had some second-line troops that were not too far away to be mobilized.

On the afternoon of the fourth day of the third lunar month, Azig began to ask for help, only half a day later, in the middle of the night. Abatai, the main owner of the Zhenglan Banner, who was originally stationed a little farther away in the rear and in the defense area north of Jinzhou, rushed here with the main force of the Zhenglan Banner.

Abatai is the seventh son of Nurhachi, that is, the seventh brother of Huang Taiji and Azig. He was also crowned king of the county, and was on a par with Azig. (Huang Taiji is the eighth son of Nurhachi, and Abatai is four years older than Huang Taiji, who was already in his fifties at the time)

In this way, the main force of the Qing army on the Songjin battlefield once again recovered to the scale of the three flags of the white flag, the blue flag, and the blue flag.

The size of the force can finally support the main attack on one side of the enemy at the same time, and maintain the situation of siege and monitoring on the other side.

Of course, considering that one of Abatai's banners marched a relatively long distance to the Songshan battlefield, it would not be used as the first echelon during the siege.

He will be given a rest to recover first, and the situation will still be opened by Azig's descendants, and then Abatai will clean up the mess.

At dawn on the fifth day of the first month of March, when there was still about a quarter of an hour to go, the Qing army was fully prepared, and the blockade of Songshan had also been done very well for more than a day before.

Therefore, Xia Chengde, the deputy commander-in-chief of the city, did not know that his reinforcements had come and arrived at Beacon Mountain. Xia Chengde did not doubt the Qing army's sudden threat to ask him to act in advance, but just accepted it out of cowardice.

At the same time, the east gate of Songshan City, which was in charge of Xia Chengde's department, was opened by traitors as scheduled. Azig ordered the cavalry of the two Jiala's commands to immediately pour into the city, and then decisively took control of the city gates-

Azig didn't dare to trust Xia Chengde too much, even if Xia Chengde had sent his own son Xia Shu to Azig as a hostage to guarantee the authenticity of the surrender, but Azig was still afraid that this was a trick played by the Han people, and wanted to do something on the urn city, or dig a trench and rammed earth wall on the inside of the city gate to organize a second line of defense.

Xia Chengde urged Azig to hurry into the city and go straight to Hong Chengchou's mansion to control the overall situation, but Azig would rather waste time and take over all the vicinity of the city gate first.

This delay wasted more than ten minutes in a chaotic manner. Later, Azig asked the Han army to follow up with Tong Tulai, the leader of the Blue Banner, into the city, carrying the damage and fighting in the streets.

The hardcore traitor Tong Tulai can be the owner of a banner, of course, he will not be a lake, the master asked his subordinates to go to his life first, and he went obediently.

The Ming army also reacted at this time, and the governor Hong Chengchou and the governor of Liaodong, Qiu Minyang, respectively organized their own soldiers to kill at the east gate, and also tried to plug the gap.

Thousands of Han people started a bloody slaughter of each other on the long street of Songshan, obviously both sides were Han, and they didn't see a single full soldier, so they killed and consumed in vain.

Xia Chengde's troops, who were still Ming troops half a day ago, have now fought side by side with Tong Tulai's Manchu Han army flag, and began to unconsciously slash and kill yesterday's comrades.

"Hong Chengchou is here! Dog Tartar has a kind of quick kill on me! At this moment, Hong Chengchou still has a bit of the blood of the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and personally drew the sword of the civil official to supervise the battle and slash and kill.

It's a pity that this kind of shouting is just pure hatred, and the soldiers around him have suffered. When Tong Tulai's troops heard that Hong Chengchou was here, they rushed up like crazy to grab the head, and the bloody slaughter on both sides soon left thousands of corpses lying on the long street.

Seeing that Tong Tulai and Xia Chengde consumed Hong Chengchou so badly, Azig was also overjoyed, and shouted wildly in his heart: "I knew that Xia Chengde worked so hard!" Just surrendered, he was like a mad tiger slashing and killing the old master, we don't need to ask the seventh brother to help!

The 5,000 Ming army defected and slashed the remaining 20,000 Ming troops, and this coming and going is 10,000 gone! With the rest of the Ming army, we Eight Banners warriors will take it down with a few charges! ”

Seeing that the situation was very good, Azig decisively let his two Jiala's launch a roundabout charge, first going around the poorly defended streets in the city to the back of Hong Chengchou Qiumin, and then directly backstabbing and rushing up.

The Ming army saw that the general situation was gone, and the guards of the other three gates couldn't take care of it, so they directly opened the city gate and tried to escape out of the city.

It's a pity that the south gate, which has the best escape effect for the Ming army, happens to be stationed outside the city with Abatai's Zhenglan Banner.

Abatai originally didn't plan to fight a tough battle, but seeing that the Ming army took the initiative to open the city gate, he also realized that the city was afraid that it would collapse, and this was a good opportunity to grab people's heads, so he killed it like a mad tiger. slaughtered the Ming army blocking the south gate and trying to flee for their lives.

Only the northwest two gates are far away from the direction of the Ming Dynasty, the defenders there rushed out of the city, and there was no Qing army to intercept them in a panic, what they care about at present is to take Hong Chengchou as soon as possible.

A quarter of an hour later, as the slaughter gradually stopped, Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, was still martyred, and one of the other general soldiers and a deputy general were also killed, and Hong Chengchou was captured alive.

The only butterfly effect is only because the Qing army has relatively few troops, so there is a lack of people to encircle the northwest two gates leading to the rear of the Qing army, and thousands of people have escaped on each side, and they can't catch up with the black pressure in the dark night.
