Chapter Ninety-Three: Huang Taiji Uses Sun Tzu's Art of War 3
The location of the city of Ela can also be refuted, and the city where the Later Jin army was stationed on the 19th was not the old city of Duoyan. Because from Longshan Village to Heicheng Village, it is a hundred kilometers, and you have to go over mountains and mountains in the middle. Huang Taiji really doesn't need to find guilt for himself. And from the Ningcheng area to the south, exactly fifty kilometers, in line with the law of the Later Jin army's march.
It was here that the Emperor Taiji strictly enforced military discipline. It shows that he already has the ambition to annex the world at this time, so he has issued repeated orders to the Houjin army and the affiliated Mongolian army. One of the orders is very special, that is, except for thin horses, dry food should not be used to feed horses, so as to prevent them from being poisoned by the common people of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the side also shows that this kind of march has little effect on horsepower, and it can be held out only with grass-fed straw.
There are important events in the "Old Manchu Files" that are not recorded on this day, and of course it is also possible that Emperor Qianlong deliberately deleted some of the content when he ordered the old files to be recopied in the new Manchu language.
According to the "Qing Historical Manuscript", when the Later Jin army arrived in Qingcheng (i.e., Ela City), the internal contradictions that had accumulated for a long time finally broke out. The conservatives, led by the Great Bel Dai Shan and the Three Bel Mang Gurtai, opposed the continuation of the march and clashed with Huang Taiji.
"Xinwei, the green city of Karaqin. The Great Belle Daishan, the Three Belle Mang Gurtai stopped outside the Beylor tent, entered the meeting, and secretly discussed the class teacher. After retreating, Yue Tuo and other generals in Bai Zhu will be enterprising outside. Shang was not afraid, because he said: 'The two brothers said that our soldiers are deep, and the labor division is far away, if the food is scarce and the horses are tired, the enemy will attack in a circle, and there is nothing to do. If I see this, and I don't say anything at the beginning, I have traveled far away, and I will use this as an excuse. I am scheming, what to do! 'Yue Tuojian, please join the teacher. Bagu Mountain Ezhen (Yue Tuo, etc.) Yi Daishan, Mang Gurtai discussed, and agreed in the middle of the night.
The two sides fought until midnight, and with the support of Yue Tuo and others, Huang Taiji forcibly subdued Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai. Yue Tuo was the eldest son of Dai Shan, and he was the owner of the Red Flag at that time. Because he lost his mother since he was a child, his stepmother and father Daishan treated him very harshly, so the side concubine Meng Gu Zhezhe (Huang Taiji's biological mother) was ordered to raise Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo brothers with Huang Taiji.
Therefore, Yue Tuo and Huang Taiji have an excellent relationship, and they can be said to be called uncles and nephews, and they are like brothers. It was precisely by relying on Yue Tuo, Sakhalian, and Zilharang that Huang Taiji was able to truly grasp the real power of Houjin.
"On the 21st, stationed in Burga Sutai."
Burga Sutai, which is usually translated as willow tree in Chinese. There are many similar Mongolian place names, and the specific address is difficult to verify. Judging from the itinerary of the Later Jin Army, it should be near present-day Pingquan City. Pingquan City is still on the banks of the Laoha River, just 50 kilometers away from the camping sites before and after. Judging from the geomorphological conditions, it is likely that the riverside at that time was overgrown with willow trees. And such a location is also very suitable for the garrison of large armies.
"On the 22nd, stationed in the Shangdu River of the Karaqin Department."
The Shangdu River, also known as the Lightning River, is the main source of the upper reaches of the Luan River. Because it flows through the ruins of Zhenglan Banner "Yuan Shangdu", it is named Shangdu River. Shangdu River passes through the Karaqin Banner, enters the territory of Duolun County, and after the confluence of the Heifeng River, it is called the Luan River.
There were two main roads from the Karaqin Department into the North China Plain. One is the ancient road, which goes south from the old city of Duoyan, passes through Maojingba (at the junction of Inner Mongolia and Hebei, Maojingba Township, Longhua County), along the valley of the Luanhe River, and enters the North China Plain from Panjiakou. The second is the new road, which goes south from Karacheng, passes through Pingquan and Kuancheng, and enters the customs from Xifengkou.
After the opening of the Xifengkou route, the Luanhe valley route, that is, the ancient road, was abandoned. Because the Luan River floods almost every year, it is difficult to repair the roads in the river valley. The first line from Xifengkou to Kuancheng is a major road, which can not only be passed by people and horses, but also by heavy vehicles.
However, Xifengkou was an area heavily garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty, so the Houjin army did not go south through Kuancheng. Instead, it went west from the Pingquan area and entered the Shangdu River in present-day Chengde County. That is, from the new road and into the ancient road.
"On the 23rd, because of the steepness of the Chitangor Ridge, Khan and the two great Beylers crossed the ridge and stationed. Zhongtaiji led a large army to garrison at the foot of the ridge, crossed the ridge the next morning, and ended in the evening. ”
Qitang Guoerling, that is, Tiehu Mountain in Chengde County, Chengde City, the terrain is steep, it may be that the water of the Luanhe River has just frozen, and it is difficult for the army in the river valley area to pass, so you can only choose to climb the mountain. The Houjin army is worthy of being drilled out of the old forests in the northeast, and its ability to climb mountains is quite strong. Many Ming troops thought that the cavalry could not pass through the road sections, and they did not have to deal with it at all, and they crossed mountains and mountains, as if walking on flat ground.
"On the 24th, stationed in the old river."
The old river, that is, the Liuhe River, a tributary of the right bank of the Luan River. The garrison should be in Liuhekou Village, Dazhuzi Township, Xinglong County, Chengde City. At this point, the Houjin coalition army was only two days away from the defense line of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was still unaware.
"On that day, Yuetuo, Zilharang, Abatai, and Azig four Taiji, selected ten soldiers for each Niulujia, and the Mongolian Korqin Zhubeile soldiers, Chahar, Khalkha Mongolian Zhubeile soldiers, and the strongest of the Mongolian Eight Banner soldiers, and the left wing troops led by Taiji Abatai and Azig advanced, and Taiji Yuetuo and Zilharang led the right wing soldiers to advance."
When they arrived at the mouth of the Liuhe River, the Houjin army did not continue to advance along the valley of the Luanhe River, but divided into three routes, with the left flank advancing towards Longjing Pass and Hongshankou, and the right flank advancing in the direction of Da'ankou. Huang Taiji led his headquarters and left wing to walk together for a few days, and did not separate until the 26th. The left flank went to attack Longjing Pass, and Huang Taiji led his headquarters to conquer Hongshan Pass.
The ancient cities of Panjiakou and Xifengkou are now underwater. In the past, there was no Panjiakou Reservoir, so the Luanhe River valley was passable.
"On the 25th, stationed in the Chagan Horo area of the Karaqin Department."
Holo, in Mongolian language, has the meaning of palace, capital, mausoleum. Chagan, which is still white, has a variety of meanings of sacredness, brand-newness, and cleanliness. Chagan Horo is the last place name with the Karaqin prefix, indicating that it is getting closer to the Great Wall. The specific location cannot be found in the historical materials. It is inferred from the route of the march that it should be in the area of Kuandian Village and Huanglitai in present-day Mumuyu Township, and it should be just 50 kilometers south from Liuhe.
The Ming Dynasty abandoned hundreds of kilometers of the natural barrier of Yanshan, resulting in the complete occupation of these areas by the Karaqin tribe. Under the leadership of the guide Duoyan, the Houjin army went all the way over the mountains and mountains, as if entering a no-man's land.
"On the 26th, because of the steepness of the Horo Ridge in Mutianlei, Khan and Zhubeile crossed the ridge and stationed, and the army and tired men and horses crossed the ridge overnight. The advance soldiers crossed the ridge on the night of the 26th. ”
Mutianlei Holuo Ridge, that is, the black pigeon top of Mushroom Yu Township, Xinglong County, Chengde City. After the 26th, the Jin army crossed the top of the black pigeon, so it was very reasonable for the Jin army to be in the Kuandian Village and Huanglitai area behind the ridge on the 25th. The general route is to go up the mountain from Erdaogou and down the mountain from the ash kiln valley. Although this road is not long, it is very difficult to walk. The Houjin army was able to cross the ridge overnight, and its marching ability was really amazing.
The picture above is the mountain of Mushroom Yu Township, and it is difficult to imagine how the Houjin army crossed the mountain overnight. But judging from the situation before and after, there should be no lie on "Manchu Old Files", and the cross-country ability of the Houjin Army is so powerful.
"On the 27th, the ugly carving, Taiji Abatai and Taiji Azig soldiers sneaked into Longjing Pass and conquered it. Yu Yin, destroy its water and enter it. The general of Minghong Mountain Pass and the deputy general of Hanerzhuang heard the sound of artillery, led the troops to help, and the Jin soldiers met the battle, defeated, and beheaded the deputy general Yi Ai and the general Wang Zunchen, and annihilated them all. So, he killed the chief officer and sentry of the Santun battalion. ”
Longjingguan, that is, Longjingguan Village, Hanerzhuang Township, Qianxi County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, is located on the west bank of the Sprinkle River, the village is built in the old Longjingguan City, there are more than 200 meters of stone wall of Guancheng. It is composed of three natural villages: Longjingguan, Yangjiagou and Miaoergou.
"To the outside of the city of Hanerzhuang, Fang wanted to recruit him to surrender, Belle Mang Gurtai, Morgen Daiqing (Dolgonmei), Erke Chuhuer (Duoduomei) to, and Li Fengze, the deputy general's subordinate left battalion officer, led the people in the city to shave and surrender. The army entered the city, boarded the city and camped, and in the Zhubeile Residence Office, Qiu did not commit any crimes. ”
Hanerzhuang City, now moved to Hanerzhuang Village, Hanerzhuang Township, West County.
"On that day, the Khan entered the border and conquered the Hongshankou City, and the Khan and the army entered the city and camped."
Hongshankou City, that is, Songpeng Road Road City, now Hongshankou Village, Xiaochang Township, Zunhua City.
"The right-wing Taijizir Harang and Yuetuo advanced overnight on the 26th. On the 27th, he conquered Daankou City and surrendered the inner city of the border garrisoned by the Ming garrison. The next day, he recruited the Ming Zhang staff to garrison Ma Lanyu City. On the 29th, he surrendered the Ming garrison to the city of Malankou. Mingbu and the five cavalry teams, hearing the sound of cannons, came to help, and killed them all. ”
Da'ankou City, now Da'ankou Village, Xixiaying Township, Zunhua City.
At this point, the Houjin army completely broke through the defense line of the Great Wall of Jizhen. From the beginning of Shenyang to the breakthrough and entry, the total schedule is 25 days, and the actual march is 19 days, with an average daily journey of about 50 kilometers. The core area of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty was already under the front of the Later Jin army. And the Ming Dynasty was like a sleeping giant, until October 27, Longjing Pass, Hongshankou, and Daankou were lost one after another, and they woke up from their dreams, and the fiasco was inevitable!

"Therefore, the first time the emperor attacked the city of Beijing, he almost used all the content in the first article of Sun Tzu's Art of War: the beginning of the plan."
After Ingley finished speaking, he said with a smile.
"Aiqing said so well, then, can Aiqing talk about the other cases in these thirteen articles?" Huang Taiji was impatient.
