"Old thief Hong! The dog barbarian is really tough, he has broken the city and let his subordinates fight to the death! These thousands of lives will be counted on your head! ”

An hour later, as Azig and Abatai finally calmed down the situation in Songshan City and successfully tied up Hong Chengchou in front of the Songshan County Ya,

In the face of the casualties of this bloody battle, Azig was of course angry, and directly whipped Hong Chengchou all over his face, and insulted while smoking.

Because of the butterfly effect brought by Shen Shuren and Zheng Chenggong, although the battle of Songshan ended the same as in history, the process was tortuous.

Historically, the Qing army originally planned and then moved, and was fully prepared, and did not urge Xia Chengde to make a move, so Xia Chengde could slowly find an opportunity.

In the end, under the pretext of banqueting, Hong Chengchou, Qiu Minyang and others discussed the breakthrough of the military plane, and then directly detained and controlled Hong Chengchou and Qiu Minyang, and then opened the door to the city.

The Ming army in the city because there was no supervisor, governor, no one to organize resistance, so the street fighting was not very fierce, the Qing army only killed a few hundred people to control the whole city, and then disarmed the Ming army, burned, killed, plundered and killed more than 20,000 people.

But in this life, because the Qing army was afraid of long nights and dreams, they forced Xia Chengde to act in advance, and Xia Chengde did not wait for the opportunity to arrest Hong Chengchou Qiu Yang, but only controlled a city gate.

The duration and intensity of the street fighting after the Qing army entered the city also rose to a higher level, at least one or two thousand Qing soldiers and Han army banner traitor soldiers were killed and wounded more than the same period in history.

Azig's anger, of course, was much more intense, and he hated Hong Chengchou for not knowing the current affairs, and he had fought a tragic street battle for so long.

And Abatai next to him didn't stop Azig's crazy whipping, but just sneered and watched the play. Now at this juncture, the high-level officials of the Qing court have not had the intention of soliciting Hong Chengchou, and they will not be convicted if they are beaten casually.

After all, even if it is pushed back a few days, Huang Taiji is still not sure when Songshan City will be guaranteed to be won. There is no shadow, how can you think so far to think about the aftermath. Even if Hong Chengchou was slashed in the chaotic battle, at most he would directly give the soldiers who killed him a direct credit.

And Hong Chengchou, who had just been captured, seemed to be a little bloody, perhaps because he felt that he was going to die, and he wanted to be happy before he died, so he scolded Azig more than once:

"Dog Tartar, kill if you want to kill! Ann dares to bark! Phew, I can't figure it out, this is heaven! The traitors in the DPRK and China have restrained me, so that I cannot do it, if Chongzhen is obedient to me, how can there be today! Dog Tartar really thinks that you have won by your ability, and Bendu can't succeed! ”

Azig was furious, and directly pulled out his knife to wipe Hong Chengchou with one sword. It was only at this moment that the old and serious Abatai made a move and grabbed Azig's arm:

"Okay, that's all it takes. After all, Hong Chengchou is the old supervisor of the Southern Dynasty Pavilion, and since he has been captured alive, he is still escorted back to His Majesty to personally send it down, and we have a greater credit. You and I will deal with it at will, and it is inevitable to give people a handle. ”

Azig didn't dare to disobey his brother too much, and while putting down the knife, he muttered in a hateful whisper:

"I knew that this guy was so stubborn and smelly, he shouldn't have been captured alive just now, and he was chopped with a knife in the chaotic army, which is the same credit! It is impossible for such a person to be sent back.

The Nanban officials who surrendered before, which one was not depressed in Chongzhen. This guy has already become the old superintendent of the cabinet, and he is not a deputy general who has been bullied, how can he be obedient? Can Your Majesty give him a higher official position? It's nothing more than that. ”

Abatai didn't explain much in front of people, but only ordered Hong Chengchou to be tied up, and then dragged Azig into the treasury of Songshan City, and when he counted the spoils, he opened his mouth and added:

"Although we don't understand the art of war and strategy, listening to Hong Chengchou's insult in a hurry just now, it shouldn't be a lie. When a person wants to die, he does not tell a lie. He even scolded Chongzhen, saying that the court was treacherous and restrained, and it was most likely that someone was hindering.

We also know that His Majesty's meticulous work in Beijing last year paid off, and before the decisive battle of Songshan, Hong Chengchou was forced to fight a decisive battle by the group of officials of the Ministry of War.

This kind of person, with resentment in his heart, may have hope. If you can really bring down my Qing Dynasty, it may not be like those generals who seek glory and wealth, maybe they just want to have grievances and revenge. ”

Azig calmed down, pondered for a moment, and had to admit that his brother had much more experience than himself. Although Abatai doesn't know much about the art of war, after all, he has more than 50 years of life experience, and he still has a bit of an eye for seeing people.

"That being the case, and send it back to the rear first, let Your Majesty let it fall!"

Azig hatefully asked people to tie up Hong Chengchou, and then he could send troops to escort him.

As soon as the matter of the captured officials was dealt with, Azig began to kill in the city.

In addition to the 5,000 people of Xia Chengde's department who can be retained, plus other soldiers who can be recruited can have a way to live for the time being.

In addition, all the wounded soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as well as all the people in the city, were all slaughtered, and finally 15,000 people were killed (in history, the direct slaughter was 24,000 people, but now there are many less, because there are more deaths in street fighting, and there are those who escape)

It is impossible not to slaughter, after all, the Qing army has besieged the city for more than five and a half months, and the exhaustion and pent-up grievances of the army are very deep, and the previous several tentative sieges of the city have also suffered some casualties, and now that the city is broken, of course, it is necessary to kill and plunder like crazy to vent, and seize back the wealth for the distribution of his subordinates.

This kind of massacre could not be completely ended in two or three days, and Azig had only been killed for half a day, and at noon on the fifth day of the third month, when the troops had stopped for lunch, a group of scouts from the south suddenly came to report, running very anxiously, and it did not seem to be good news.

The scout stumbled straight in front of Azig for less than twenty paces before he rolled his saddle and dismounted, and rushed to him with a rolling belt: "My lord! Urgent! Beacon Mountain, Xingshan Urgent, Kong ...... Kong Youde Kong has an accident! ”

Kong Youde already has the title of king, but the king who was given to the Han people is not valuable, so within the Qing army, when reporting the military situation to the Manchu masters, as long as it is reported to the people above Baylor, they will not call the king of the Han generals, and they will directly call the official position.

When Azig heard this, he was also stunned: "Didn't you let Kong Youde find an opportunity to sneak attack and intercept the barbarian troop carrier?" He has the strength to approach a Han military banner, how can he not even do this little thing? What is the specific battle situation! Come on, come on, give him a bag of water! ”

……

It has to be said that Azig's surprise is justified, because judging from the book strength detected by the Qing army, Kong Youde's enemy is indeed not strong.

The words are divided into two ends, the timeline goes back for half a day, and goes back to the same moment when Azig sneak attacked and killed Songshan City under the leadership of Xia Chengde, that is, in the early morning of the fifth day of the third month.

After preparing for an afternoon and an evening the day before, Kong Youdebu set sail for the south from late at night, and after a midnight voyage, the short sea route of more than 50 miles was easily completed.

Located in the west of Jingzhou City, near the mouth of the Xiaoling River, the Qing Army's naval division was originally very close to the straight-line distance of the Bijiashan battlefield, and it was only more than 40 miles.

However, considering that Beacon Hill is a peninsula jutting into the sea, and Kong Youdebu has prepared a lot of disposable boats for arson, he does not dare to take a straight route, and has to sail close to the coastline, so as not to sink the small sampan by the wind and waves. It took a slight detour to increase the mileage to more than fifty miles.

And until the attack, Kong Youde had always kept probing the enemy, so the combat strength of the Ming army's naval division that he learned was about the end of the night.

Because of the wrong intelligence at the beginning, they felt that the Ming army was only two hundred ships, so the Qing army felt that Zheng Chenggong brought only two or three thousand sailors, plus two or three thousand soldiers, which was nearly half of the actual number.

Although the number of Cao Bianjiao and Li Fuming who broke through is also underestimated, the proportion is not so high. In fact, 16,000 people escaped, and in the Qing army's estimates, there were at least 10,000.

So in their opinion, when the Ming army of Beacon Hill was in its heyday, there should be 15,000 people when it was full.

However, continued reconnaissance by the Qing army showed that the Ming army was lax and the number of people who remained at the docks was rapidly decreasing. At least 5,000 routers were carried away that morning, and at least a thousand sailors were in the boat—

Because Zheng Chenggong did ask Cao Bianjiao and Li Fuming to return to Shanhaiguan with all the wounded and sick and their families before noon that day. The route to Shanhaiguan was swaggering to the shore, and the scouts deployed by the Qing army in Gaoqiao and other places on the south side of the Liaoxi Corridor would definitely discover the whereabouts of this fleet.

In the afternoon of the following day, Zheng Chenggong actually withdrew another batch of defeated soldiers, about 5,000 people, but this batch was not withdrawn to Shanhaiguan, but directly withdrew in the direction of Denglai, let them resupply at the port at the tip of the Shandong Peninsula, and wait for the rear army to retreat, and then go to Jiangnan together.

Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong also have to consider the grain and grass problem on Beacon Mountain, after all, they didn't plan to stick to it.

Now it is found that the enemy is not strong, and it is possible to delay and wait for a while longer, and get more votes, which is also conducive to making false accounts and deceiving some of Cao Bianjiao's troops to surrender and sink. And every half day when we are stationed at Beacon Hill, we have to prepare so much food.

After calculation, Zheng Chenggong found that in order to hold the land defense line of Bijia Mountain Water Village, in fact, only five or six thousand people were needed at most - they could leave 3,000 musket teams in the Shen family, and then leave 3,000 elite soldiers under Cao and Li who were in good condition to be responsible for the melee line, one far away and one close to 6,000 people, which would definitely prevent the enemy from breaking through the water village and hold out for a long time.

Of course, if the enemy army also used Hongyi artillery to completely destroy the front line and improvised fortifications, then the Ming army would have to leave quickly.

After some calculations, Zhang and Zheng left only 6,000 marines at Beacon Hill, the sailors of the ships needed to transport the 6,000 men, and the gunners on the dozen or so gunboats. The actual total number of people is about 8,000.

Looking at the strength of the military and naval divisions again, Kong Youde's command is actually less than one Han army banner, and he is not qualified to be the flag owner. And the full number of each flag is 7,500 people, and Kong Youde's descendants are actually 5,600 people.

However, this time the sailors led by Kong Youde were not only his own soldiers, but also part of the troops of his buddy Geng Jimao, and after adding these, the total number of Qing army sailors in this battle was already approaching 10,000.

Among the Sanshun kings who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde and Geng Jimao had a very iron relationship, they were both Chongzhen five years ago, and the Qing Dynasty was surrendered after the Wuqiao Mutiny, and in the process of the Wuqiao Mutiny, Geng Jimao was Kong Youde's internal response, and together they killed the then governor of Denglai.

However, the last of the Sanshun kings was Shang Kexi, but he was the general who pursued these two traitors on behalf of the Ming army, and he had an enmity with Kong and Geng. It's a pity that Shang Kexi failed to pursue the two thieves and returned to Dongjiang Town, and was suspicious and excluded by the newly appointed Dongjiang General Soldiers of the imperial court, and the process is also difficult to distinguish. Two years later, in the seventh year of Chongzhen, Shang Kexi also gritted his teeth and surrendered.

But in contrast, even after the Qing Dynasty and the same dynasty as generals, Shang Kexi's relationship with Kong and Geng Erfan was still not very harmonious, at least it was impossible to borrow troops from each other.

Before this battle, Kong Youde felt that he had nearly 10,000 troops, which was still not enough, and he was not sure to completely crush Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong, so before he went to war, he found the master of Jierharang and asked for some additional reinforcements.

Of course, Zilharang also felt very strange about this kind of request: the cavalry full of eight banners was not good at water warfare at all, how could they borrow the soldiers and horses of the eight banners to help Kong Youde go on an adventure at sea?

In the face of Zierharang's resolute refusal and insult, Kong Youde also explained with a low face: "Don't worry, how dare the last general expect to help with the warriors of the Eight Banners?" and the last general is not worthy to command them.

It's just that in the siege of Jinzhou now, aren't there still 1,500 birds sent by the king of Joseon to help in the war? In naval battles, guns and artillery are the first, and sharp firearms can have a better chance of victory, and I implore the prince to temporarily lend these Korean bird guns to the last general. ”

When Jilharang heard that this kid was not arrogant enough to think that the Han people could command the Manchurians, he was not so angry, and after the other party gave him a heavy bribe and said a lot of good things with him, he temporarily handed over the 1,500 Korean bird guns to Kong Youde.

It turned out that Korea had been invaded twice by the Qing State since Chongzhen.

The first time was when Chongzhen first ascended the throne "Ding Mao Chao" (at that time, Chongzhen had just ascended the throne, but he still used the year name of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and his brother Ming Xizong had just died and had not changed the year name),

That time caused North Korea to have to give up its subordination to the Ming Dynasty, and could no longer support Mao Wenlong, who was in Dongjiang Town, with military rations, and Mao Wenlong could not hold on the next year, and was then killed by Yuan Chonghuan under the pretext of killing.

The second Manchu invasion of the dynasty was ten years later, the Chongzhen decade, the "Bingzi Rebellion", after this time, North Korea was directly beaten to the Manchu Qing courtesy, and the prince and the princess were sent to the Manchu Qing as hostages in the next two years. In the end, in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen and on the eve of the Songjin War, Joseon was also ordered to send 1,500 bird-sturding troops to help in the war.

It turned out that the Qing army had always been very disdainful of North Korea's military power, but it was only very impressed by North Korea's bird and arrow players - one thing to say, even in modern times, South Koreans have always been proud of archery, and they often participate in various shooting and archery events in the Olympic Games.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea already had a very mature habit of being a hunter with a bird's gun, and although the combat effectiveness of other troops was very rubbish, the accuracy of the bird's hand was really remarkable.

In the "Bingzi Rebellion", Yanguli, the highest-ranking general who had been killed in battle before the Qing army entered the customs and enjoyed the treatment of Baylor, was shot and killed by the Korean birds. (Yanguli was the uncle of the aforementioned Azig lieutenant Yinerde.) He is the son-in-law of Nuer Hachi, and he cannot be named Baylor, but he enjoys the treatment of Baylor)

Historically, in the final stage of the Battle of Songjin, these 1,500 Korean bird soldiers were arranged by Jierharang outside Jinzhou City to participate in the siege of Zu Dashou. Now Kong Youde needs more long-range firepower to fight naval battles, so he borrowed this force.

With an additional 1,500 elite bird guns, he suddenly felt that his confidence was much stronger, and it was no problem to destroy the Southern Barbarians.

……

At about the beginning of the Yin period, Kong Youde's troops finally quietly touched the outside of the Beacon Mountain Village, and there was only a few miles away.

A total of more than 11,000 troops carried the main force of more than 7,000 people on 50 large war ships in the shape of the Ming army. Plus more than 200 small arson boats and sampans, each with only a few arsonists. Finally, there were thirty medium-sized quick-response vessels, carrying 1,500 Korean birds, to pick up the dead men who had been evacuated after the arson boats had set fire.

In fact, a considerable part of Kong Youde's sea ships were snatched from the Ming army during the Wuqiao Mutiny, and there were many large ships with 400 materials.

Back then, they directly crossed the sea on these warships. There are also a few in recent years, the Qing Dynasty modeled the Ming Dynasty warships, which can be regarded as practicing skills.

Now it is not ironic to take the ship that was obtained from the Ming Dynasty a few years ago to fight the Ming Dynasty.

As for the medium-sized clippers, they were copied from the Koreans and were very suitable for naval combat - since decades ago, when Yi Sunsin resisted the Japanese army, North Korea was very fond of developing long-range combat at sea, taking advantage of the Korean bird's gun advantage and disliking close combat with the enemy.

That's why North Korea's large warships will develop turtle boats, and the roofs of the cabins are full of spikes, which is to prevent the enemy from jumping into the gang, and jumping on it will be directly stabbed to death.

The medium-sized clipper in front of me is an improvement from the board house ship of decades ago, and the square bow of the board house ship has been eliminated, and the speed has been increased by a more streamlined shape.

There was no one on the deck, and all the soldiers had to fight in the cabin, opening the portholes and firing out. The bulkheads were made of thick hardwood planks, some of which were clad in iron sheets, which prevented crossbows and firearms from penetrating, as well as the shotguns of the Hongyi cannons. These ships can only be destroyed unless they are directly hit with the single-headed bullets of the Hongyi cannon.

Of course, the North Korean ship focuses on bird gun shooting and speed, and naturally has a disadvantage, that is, this kind of ship is very weak in close combat. The height of the ship is very low, so it will be condescending to the enemy in close combat, and it is very easy to jump gangs, and once you enter the side of the traditional large warship, it is basically over.

Kong Youde was also in charge of the sailors for several years on the Manchu side, and his basic skills were still very solid, and the use of these Korean ships was also considered to be the essence of the essence.

He knew that these North Korean ships were fast and weak in close combat, so he specially used them to meet the soldiers who jumped into the sea to escape from the arsonist ship, so that they could quickly retreat after setting fire and lure the enemy.

……

Because of the strict control, there were no torches on the ships of the German army. So the darkness was not discovered by the Shen Jiajun patrol ship-

After all, the first quarter moon at the beginning of the month is not bright, and it is difficult to see ships in the distance without fire on the sea. A few days ago, when Zheng Chenggong led the Shen family army to sneak attack, the Tartar guard general Yonggui also failed to find Zheng Chenggong, and now the offense and defense are transpositioned, Zheng Chenggong naturally has to bear the disadvantage of reconnaissance that is unfavorable to the defender.

Of course, Zheng Chenggong's alertness must be much stronger than that of Yonggui's layman, after all, he is a veteran who has eaten on the sea for several generations.

Zheng Chenggong finally sent a patrol boat to patrol all night, but Yonggui didn't arrange a patrol boat at all.

It's a pity that in order to improve the field of view, the patrol ship itself must also raise fire. This has caused an unfavorable situation in which Kong Youde's troops are in the dark and Shen Jiajun's troops are in the light, and Kong Youde's troops can see the trajectory of the patrol ship clearly, and find the gap to touch it in a roundabout way.

The existence of patrol ships only stuck the space and time of Kong Youde's movement, so that they could not approach the water village as they wanted, and could only pull a long snake formation in small batches and infiltrate and advance with flexible boats.

It took about a quarter of an hour to infiltrate, and more than 10,000 people from Kong Youde's department finally infiltrated those small target arson boats into the patrol circle of the water village, and some of the medium-sized Korean bird boats that responded also followed.

Only the fifty large main warships remained outside the patrol circle, a little out of touch with the front army, but it was not a big problem, as long as the arson was successful and the sinking army was slightly weakened, it was still too late for the big ships to make a noise and charge.

However, just when Kong Youde was proud, an accident still happened.

It turned out that it seemed that several North Korean ships that were responsible for receiving the dead soldiers of the fire ship moved a little slower when they passed through the patrol circle of the Shen Jiajun, as if they had been discovered by the Shen Jiajun.

Originally, Shen Jiajun didn't dare to be sure of the other party's identity, and only saw a few boat shadows in the darkness and haze, but didn't dare to immediately confirm the enemy or me, worried that his own troop transport ship would be scattered by the waves, so he just shouted and asked the other party to stop the ship.

However, the North Korean ship immediately burst into flames and fired frantically for a while, which immediately alarmed the sailors of the Shen family army within a radius of several miles.

Even on the ships that were still moored and resting on the pier, the sailors immediately jumped up when they heard the gunshots and hurriedly set sail out to sea.

"Li Yue, this waste! I can't do that! This can be exposed! North Koreans are really pigs! As soon as Kong Youde, who was sitting in the rear, heard the gunshots, he knew that the sneak attack could not be completely successful, and he couldn't help but scold the North Koreans for being incompetent and misleading.

At this point, the various divisions of the Qing army's naval division could only adapt to their own battles.

The arsonist ships did not care to leave the enemy's position for the last mile or two, so they pulled their sails to adjust the angle, fixed the rudder surface, and ignited the fire in advance so that the fireships could continue to rush forward by inertia and the wind.

Because the sails were fixed, the speed of these fireships could still be maintained, but when no one was in control, they could no longer steer, like out-of-control torpedoes. Once the Shen Jiajun's warship dodged in a roundabout way, the fireship could not turn to follow and stare at Zhuang.

The dead soldiers on the fireboat jumped onto the small sampan tied to the stern of the ship and rowed hard to the Korean bird boat that received it.

The big ships of the Qing army at the rear, under the command of Kong Youde, beat drums and cheered, and officially attacked.
