Zhu Shuren was in Nanjing, and there was a time lag between him and the front line. So when he received the battle report, in fact, Liu Guoneng and Li Fuming on the front line had already started to work for almost a month.

Liu Guoneng started to do it in August of this year, and the specific means were nothing more than taking advantage of the paralyzing period formed by the truce in the previous years, as well as those Xuanda profiteers who were secretly controlled by Da Ming and pretended to sell arms to Mongolia.

The two main anti-Ming tribal forces in the Karaqin and Horqin areas were lured out in a wave, and then annihilated in the periphery of Zhangjiakou and Chengde Pass respectively.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Ma Yi strategy was seen through by the Xiongnu Shan Yu, mainly because he was too anxious, and the success rate of slowly making a trap would be much higher.

On the other hand, it is also because when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an ambush, the Han army also needed a large number of infantry troops as the main attack, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had too few cavalry in the early days of the war against the Huns.

In contrast, today's Da Ming has spent many years of preparation in order to pursue the nomadic steppes, forming 100,000 elite cavalry, all of which are equipped with at least revolvers.

With this scale and combat strength, as long as the Mongol army dares to be greedy for money and goods within 50 miles of the border pass, and the Ming cavalry is outflanked by one man and two horses, the Mongols will never be able to escape.

The final battle facts also proved this, Liu Guoneng and Li Fuming each brought 10,000 elite cavalry, from the two flanks of the preset ambush circle at least 100 miles away, quietly out of the customs in advance to prepare for the rear, because the depth is large, and the size of the troops is not too conspicuous, so it can be intercepted completely.

After the interception, the number of Mongols who were intercepted was actually more than that of either Liu Guoneng or Li Fuming, but even if the Mongols had a clear numerical advantage, they could not "concentrate superior forces to annihilate Liu Guoneng or Li Fuming first".

In other words, 10,000 cuirassiers of the Ming Dynasty could crush the Mongol archers with many more people.

The two initial conflicts on the border, after which there is nothing worth dwelling on,

It is nothing more than Bumu Butai's mother's family, the Horqin Mongolia, who was annihilated by more than 7,000 horsemen outside the mouth of Chengde, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and the rest fled far away, and also lost a large number of war horses, ordnance and livestock as supplies for the army.

The Kalaqin steppe's bearer, the Chahar Mongolia, was also defeated outside Zhangjiakou Pass, losing five or six thousand horsemen, and also losing heavy supplies and livestock.

After the Ming army won two small victories, he immediately led the main cavalry, and without saying anything, he went deep into the grassland and smashed the hinterland where the two major tribes were stationed.

The generals of the Ming army also knew that the Mongols were good at running and transferring, so as soon as they came up, they had to make a desperate bet to attack the enemy's place and save it, and went straight to the Ukhaliang region and Yizhou, and uprooted the first-line strongholds of Horqin and Chahar along the north of the Great Wall.

In addition, on the way to send troops, he also destroyed the stronghold of the Urat Department on the side of the Ulanqab River - the Urat Department did not provoke the Ming Dynasty this time, but the main reason was that he blocked the march route of the Ming army in Shanxi, so he was easily destroyed.

The Wuharyan area is the birthplace of Duoyan Sanwei in the early Ming Dynasty, which is roughly equivalent to the periphery of today's Chifeng, while Yizhou in the Qing Dynasty is in the northwest of Jinzhou, which is roughly equivalent to today's Tongliao.

During the whole process, the Urat tribe was not strong in battle, and after being wiped out by several thousand, the whole clan had to surrender directly.

Korqin and Chahar were relatively strong, and the hundred-legged insects died but did not stiffen, and after being taken to an important stronghold, the rest continued to flee northward, and the two divisions together could still have a remnant of 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry, and could only be transferred to the cold and bitter places in the northeast.

Taken together, these territories taken by the Ming army covered part of the territory outside the customs of Chahar Province of the Qing Dynasty. It is equivalent to occupying the territory west of Jinzhou and north of Yanshan.

From now on, if you want to attack Liaodong again, you can attack from the grassland route north of Yanshan and the western Liaoxi corridor south of Yanshan.

The Ming army captured the above-mentioned areas, and it took more than a month to add up, which can be described as fast. Basically, it is a way of playing "Kou can go, I can also go", as long as one person and two horses of the Ming army bring enough weapons and ammunition,

As for the military rations, it is completely possible to only bring the initial ten-day rations, and then on the one hand, they will rob the livestock of the Mongols on the steppe and directly kill the whole army to eat meat.

In addition, the nutritional design of the Ming army must be much better than that of the Mongols, and the Ming Dynasty, who controlled the south, completely wanted more or less tea supply for the army.

When you are tired of eating meat, you can directly cook milk tea on the prairie to supplement vitamins, and after more than a month of fighting, the cavalry officers and soldiers of the Ming army are more muscular and strong, and they do not see any fat.

As the time entered October of the ninth year of Longwu, after the Ming army formed a circle around Jinzhou in the direction of the steppe, the Mongolian departments fled far away.

As soon as the Ming army turned around, Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui's troops along the western Liaoning corridor on the southern line also attacked again, and Zhang Mingzhen's navy provided logistical supplies along the way, and once again killed Ningyuan and Jinzhou.

Ning Yuan had been abandoned by the Qing army for two or three years, so there was no battle at all, and the Ming army just directly took over the abandoned city.

Jinzhou is the end of the western Liaoning corridor and the gateway of the Qing army's eastern Liaodong hinterland, and it must still be guarded by soldiers.

But when Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui were killed, there were still Ming cavalry from the Tongliao grassland in the north to help the battle, so the Qing army in Jinzhou was completely surrounded by the Ming army as soon as they came up.

More than 10,000 Qing troops in Jinzhou, under the bombardment of Hongyi heavy artillery brought by Zhang Mingzhen, the city wall collapsed within three days, and the Ming army swarmed into the city, killing thousands of people, and the rest of the Qing army had to surrender.

The Ming army did not do anything to kill them all this time, as long as they were willing to surrender, they were allowed to surrender, because Zhu Shuren had instructed before the war: This time is different from the past, it was a war of weakening in the past, and this time it was a war of annihilation. A weakened war should kill as much living force as possible, while a war of annihilation allows surrender to break the enemy's will to resist.

More importantly, the Ming army did not want to go to Baishan and Heishui to fight for a long time to search for the fleeing fishing and hunting tribes, but still wanted to take advantage of the last few strongholds that the Qing army had to defend to induce them to surrender and cooperate.

But surrender must also be conditional, and all the Manchus will be punished as forced labor, and later see that the sincerity of the reform will be restored to free people.

If there is a particularly serious crime of oppressing compatriots or acting for a tiger when being a puppet official, it is also necessary to serve hard labor or other punishments as appropriate, depending on the effect of reform.

As long as the transformation is thorough, the national identity, cultural identity of China, and the recognition of the rule of the Ming Dynasty are restored, and the Manchu and Mongolian people can also be given a way to rehabilitation.

This can be regarded as feng shui in turns, once upon a time Duoduo wanted to keep his head in the south of the Yangtze River, but now after ten years of struggle, it is finally the turn of Daming to cut braids on the grassland.

……

The city of Jinzhou was breached, and more than 10,000 Manchu and Han defenders were surrounded and annihilated by the Ming Dynasty, and the shock to the puppet Qing was naturally very great.

But they now have no capital to fight, the whole clan originally had only thirty or forty thousand men left, Jinzhou City was broken, thousands of Manchurian soldiers were killed, and some people in and around the city were captured, and the Manchurian population in the Qing army fell directly to the 30,000 mark cordon.

How could this person counterattack the Ming Dynasty? If they can counterattack, they will not shrink into farming and develop to the northeast in the past three years, and open up the Songnen Plain.

Hauge had to gather all the major generals to discuss countermeasures.

"The Ming army was treacherous, and after three years of truce, it started to fight again, how should I deal with the enemy in the Qing Dynasty? At present, Jinzhou has been broken. Between the vanguard of the Ming army and Shengjing, there were only two lines of defense.

The first is Quang Ninh at the mouth of the Liao River, do you think that Quang Ninh should not divide troops to defend? If it is not defended, the Ming army can directly cross the Liao River, and there is no longer any big river danger to separate from Shengjing.

As long as the Ming army goes up against both sides of the Liao River and passes through Haizhou, the second line of defense, it can go straight to Shengjing! ”

The generals of the Qing army looked at each other, and Yue Le felt that it was better to defend Shengjing and not be able to disperse his forces anymore.

Man Dahai felt that he had to rely on the Liaohe River and struggle again, because if the Liaohe River could not be defended, Shengjing would only be even more unable to defend it, and today's Ming artillery was too sharp, and the defensive effect of the old city wall was basically a joke.

And Ao Bai felt that there was no chance to even defend Shengjing, so it was better to leave a useful body, completely abandon the Liao River Valley, retreat to the Songnen Plain, and count on General Ningguta's jurisdiction to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

On the boundary of Jilin Province in later generations, the largest city is still Jilin County, and as for Changchun, the provincial capital of later generations, it is now a rural village at all-

After the invention of the railway, Changchun was born as the Rakshasa and the Japanese people built the railway in the northeast, and finally needed a hub to connect the South Manchurian and North Manchurian railways.

Before the advent of the railway, the political core of the Songnen Plain was only Jilin, where General Ningguta was stationed, and it would take a few decades in history to change its name to General Jilin, and the administrative office would gradually move to the Mudanjiang area in later generations with the development of Northeast China by the Manchu Qing Dynasty (there were many old and new Ningguta in history, and the place was always changing)

Hauge listened to the remarks of both sides, and was still undecided for a while.

From the perspective of security, preserving strength is indeed the most important thing, the whole clan is so full of 30,000 soldiers, and there are more than 200,000 old, weak, women and children, and they can't afford to be hurt at all.

The population of the Han people in Liaodong under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty originally had more than one million, and when the Qing Dynasty abandoned Guannei, it plundered another 600,000 people. Later, there were some losses, such as Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places were each reduced by tens of thousands of people, and this time Jinzhou was attacked and tens of thousands of people were taken captive.

But in any case, there were still about 1.5 million Han Chinese under the Manchu rule.

Less than 300,000 Manchus want to rule over 1.5 million Han Chinese, which is already more than 1:5, and the number of Manchu men is especially small.

However, if you don't fight, you can give up Guangning, Haizhou, or even Shengjing, and it's really unreasonable, the Qing Dynasty is also an empire, and it is the emperor, how can you give up the land of your ancestors Longxing without a fight, which is more difficult to accept than giving up Beijing City.

At the beginning, the Ming Dynasty was able to die as a king, and when Beijing was lost, Chongzhen was martyred, and he was famous for his martial arts in the Qing Dynasty, can he be more cowardly than the Ming Dynasty?

While Haoge hesitated, he didn't want to prevent that there were still some people in the Qing court who were dissatisfied with him, and they also wanted to pass the buck and keep the dignity of the court. It's just that those people also spoke in the name of righteousness, and asked him to lead the king to attack and resist the enemy to the west of the Liao River.

And Shunzhi Emperor Fulin, who has been on the throne for ten years now, is sixteen years old this year, although his mother was executed, he is almost able to govern at this age. The truce of the past three years has gradually deepened the estrangement between Fulin and his eldest brother.

It's just that Shunzhi grew up in the deep palace after all, and even if he has received education in governing the country, it is limited to Wenzhi, and it is only at the theoretical level. If you want to talk about knowing the soldiers in the war, it is still too far behind the eldest brother Haoge, so Shunzhi's direct control of the army is still not very good.

In the face of the quarrel between the DPRK and China this time, Shunzhi rarely expressed his opinion. He didn't dare to directly contradict his eldest brother, and from beginning to end, he just talked about things in the name of righteousness, hoping that Haoge could lead the world's soldiers and save the country in danger.

Since Hauge was in power, he was kidnapped by morality and couldn't come to power, so he had to conspire and discuss with his henchmen, and finally made a plan, pretending to be brave and send troops to meet it.

He took with him most of the main forces around Shengjing, as well as fine goods and sophisticated equipment, and dragged his way to Quang Ninh. But before Haoge arrived, the Ming army Li Dingguo crossed the Liao River, broke through Guangning, and annihilated thousands of Manchu and Han soldiers of the Qing army in Guangning.

Hauge had no choice but to pretend to retreat to Haizhou, but in fact he did not camp along the banks of the Liao River.

The city of Haizhou is not close to the Liao River, and generally to fortify Haizhou to prevent the enemy army from going up the Liao River to Shengjing, you have to camp along the river and form an angle with the city of Haizhou.

Haoge gave up the main road on the bank of the Liao River, which was equivalent to giving the Ming army a gap to directly bypass Haizhou and go straight to Shengjing.

Wu Sangui looked at it and felt that this was Haoge's deception, maybe he wanted to lure the enemy into the depths, and then cut off the back road of the Ming army, so he wanted to attack Haizhou first, step by step to remove the dangers on both sides of the way, and finally go straight to Shengjing.

But Li Dingguo dared to take risks, and through his pre-war reconnaissance and combing through the intelligence sources of the local people, he confirmed that Haoge took most of the main forces of Shengjing to meet the attack, so there must be emptiness in Shengjing City.

Therefore, Li Dingguo relied on the advantage of the Ming army to have a sailor, and the big ship could grasp the navigation rights of the Liao River, even if the lone army was cut off in depth, it could also ensure that it would take the Liao River waterway to retreat, and there would be no big risk.

Li Dingguo took 30,000 people, and the Ming army that came around the grassland on the northern line and went to the upper reaches of the Liao River, advanced north and south, and after a short period of five or six days of light troops, it went straight to Shengjing City, first surrounded the gates of Shengjing with the first batch of cavalry who arrived, and then went down to the village to wait for reinforcements, and spent a few days waiting for the infantry artillery to arrive by boat, and completely stabilized the siege camp.

Shunzhi was in Shengjing City, originally wanted to wait and see, if his eldest brother couldn't bear it, or there was news of defeat, then he would run away and flee to Ningguta. After all, if the emperor is too cowardly and runs directly, his prestige will definitely be damaged, and Shunzhi is sixteen, and he also has his own ideas.

But he didn't expect Haoge to give up the main road along the Liao River and avoid the war. Shunzhi didn't hear the news of Haoge's defeat, and when he reacted, he wanted to run again, but Li Dingguo had already finished acting with Haoge and directly besieged Shengjing City.

In a panic, Shunzhi hurriedly sent someone to the eldest brother's Prince Su's mansion to inquire about the news, wanting to take Haoge's wife and concubines and children to the palace to raise them well, so as to force Haoge to return to save Shengjing.

But the people sent by Shunzhi turned Prince Su's mansion upside down, only to find that Haoge's wife and son-in-law were no longer in Shengjing City, and they were actually taken by Haoge in the army in disguise on the day they sent out the army before.

What remained in Prince Su's mansion were just a few concubines who were treated as abandoned children, supporting the façade, and they belonged to the kind that would not make Haoge feel distressed even if they died, and these people themselves were kept in the dark.

Things have come to this point, of course, Shunzhi knows that he has been sold by his eldest brother, but he has no choice.

After Haoge heard that Shengjing was surrounded by Li Dingguo, he directly told His Majesty to let him preserve his strength, endure humiliation, and save a pulse of fire for the Qing Dynasty.

The more than 10,000 Manchurian soldiers and more than 20,000 Han and Mongolian soldiers who were brought out by Haoge certainly didn't want to go back and fight to die. So they all expressed their support for Hauge's decision, and directly gave up the rescue and ran away.

As for the family rolls in Shengjing City, they don't want it anymore, anyway, Haoge has also had a layout for farming in recent years, so that the soldiers can leave some concubines and young sons in Jilin, don't stay in Shengjing.

Since the defeat in the war a few years ago, the problem of Manchu women more than men has been very serious, and the widows have been married, and an average Manchu man can get six or seven women, not counting the Han women they occupy.

So it doesn't matter if the girls in Shengjing City are lost, they still have a foreign house on the Songnen Plain.

As soon as Hauge fled with the last spark, the seven or eight thousand Manchu soldiers and one hundred thousand Manchu civilians in Shengjing City were completely destroyed.

Li Dingguo and Wu Sangui surrounded the city, and the cannons were bombarded, so that they could attack the city in a good time.
