Chapter 88: A battle to bet on the fortunes of the country!
Yuan Chonghuan's indecisiveness made him miss the most precious time, and also made Guan Ningjun fall into the abyss of no return!
Following the recovery of Guangning, Zu Dashou led the troops all the way to the east, invincible along the way, and in less than three days, Xiping was recovered!
When the news came to Jinzhou, the morale of the Guanning army was greatly boosted, and the morale was several times higher.
Huang Taiji is over, Houjin is over, and at this time, if you don't send troops to pursue the desperate thieves, isn't that watching the credit being swallowed by Zu Dashou alone?
This is the glory of recovering the homeland, and it can go down in history!
No one doesn't want to be a national hero.
Yuan Chonghuan is the same, he is also tempted.
But Zhu Youzhen's imperial order was pressed on his head, making it difficult for Yuan Chonghuan to make a decision, until.
"Great victory, great victory in Liaoyang!"
Another success, and this time the results were even more shocking.
"The two generals Wu and Zu defeated Jiannu in Liaoyang, annihilated 7,000 enemies, and Liaoyang was recovered!"
This victory made Yuan Chonghuan determined.
It is advisable to win and chase after the poor!
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.
"Overseer, send troops."
In the marshal's mansion, dozens of middle and senior generals looked at Yuan Chonghuan in unison, knelt down on one knee and clenched their fists: "The food of Jiannu has been exhausted, the military spirit is completely gone, and the enemy is invincible wherever our army goes.
Straight to the Huanglong Mansion, the battle is complete! ”
Yuan Chonghuan looked at these dozens of pairs of fiery eyes and raised his hand.
The military spirit can be used, and the military spirit cannot be violated!
He couldn't press it any longer.
He suppressed it when he recovered Guangning, and he also suppressed it when he recovered Xiping, and now, even the old camp in Liaoyang has been recovered, and if he presses it again, is it possible that he will not even give the credit for the recovery of Shenyang to these generals in front of him?
History is on the horizon.
What's more, if he can really recover Shenyang and conquer Hetuala, then he Yuan Chonghuan is the savior who turns the tide and helps the building to fall!
The official Yuan Chonghuan doesn't care, but this reputation can be passed on through the ages!
Whether it is for public or private reasons, Yuan Chonghuan does not intend to suppress the generals anymore.
"Pass on the order of the commander, the whole army will be pulled out and go straight to Shenyang!"
-----------------
After all, Dong Zhao, a thousand households of the CIA, was still a step late, and when he arrived in Jinzhou, Yuan Chonghuan had already led his troops away for seven days!
At this moment, Yuan Chonghuan had already entered the Manchurian Palace in Shenyang.
"Huang Taiji is a barbarian, and he dares to trespass the palace?"
Yuan Chonghuan's combat boots stepped here, full of spirit.
On both sides of Yuan Chonghuan's back, there were dozens of generals with spring breezes on their faces.
This battle was fought so smoothly that even Shenyang, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, was defeated.
For decades, the Ming Dynasty has lost more than won in the face of Jiannu, and this dynasty can be described as a shame!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not the time to celebrate victory."
Yuan Chonghuan looked around: "Jiannu has fled on all fronts, and no thieves have been found within fifty miles of the scouts, which shows that Huang Taiji has completely come to an end, and now the morale of our army is high. ”
"The Inspector is wise!"
Yuan Chonghuan did not enter the palace, but returned to the barracks after a tour and raised the tent to count the troops.
As he said before, what is needed now is a bang.
"All the departments immediately returned to the camp and assembled, went north along the Hunhe River to take Fushun and Tieling, cut off the connection between Huang Taiji and Chahar, and finally crossed the Hunhe River to the east and conquered Hetuala in one fell swoop!"
Everyone got up excitedly, clasped their fists and sang a promise.
In this way, under the confusion of a series of great victories and the recovery of the homeland, up to Yuan Chonghuan and down to an ordinary soldier of the Guanning Army, all of them were carried away by victory.
No one has carefully observed, what about the main force of the Eight Banners of Huang Taiji?
From the beginning of the recovery of Guangning, only the Han Eight Banners and the Mongols from Chahar appeared in front of Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ningjun!
Yuan Chonghuan, who was full of ambition, ordered the three armies to pull out the camp and march north, marching all the way to the speed of Shenyang, and almost no resistance along the way to the city of Shenyang, and at this moment, Shenyang was exposed to chaos in Yuan Chonghuan's eyes.
Tens of thousands of Houjin people in the city are fleeing in a hurry at this moment.
Where is this fleeing refugee, it is simply a moving military medal.
"A golden man's head is five taels of silver, and five heads are a first-class official."
The Ming Dynasty was not the Great Qin, and there was no military merit title system, but during the Wanli period, in order to suppress the development of the Jurchens, this policy was implemented in the Liaodong Army in the form of non-official documents, in order to encourage the Liaodong Army to be brave in battle and kill more Jurchens.
This policy led directly to Li Chengliang's indiscriminate killing, including several massacres of cities, the most famous of which was Tugul, in which Nurhachi's grandfather, Kyaw Chang'an, and his father, Takshi, died.
Later, Nurha's red-haired eight hated rebels, and the slaughter of the city became a commonplace thing in the land of Liaodong.
The ethnic hatred between the Han and the Manchus became deeper and deeper, following the Fushun Massacre and the Shenyang Massacre, and then to the Jinzhou Massacre and the Fuzhou Massacre, and the Ming and Jin Dynasty became completely dead, and under the historical background of this period, the Ming Dynasty and Manchukuo had a consensus with each other.
That is, no one can lose, and the losing side will destroy the country and the species!
It is also based on this cold consensus, so this 'maladministration' of changing the head for the official and rewarding the silver has not been canceled, and has continued until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, even in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng has entered the North Zhili, and Emperor Chongzhen also raised the last trace of strength to send the last military expenses to Wu Sangui, who guarded the Shanhaiguan, 180,000 taels!
The Jurchen people who fled and left the city, in the eyes of the group of generals and soldiers of the Guanning Army at this moment, are mobile officials and rewards, which are honors at their fingertips.
"Supervisor, let's chase and kill!"
Yuan Chonghuan still had some sense, and in the face of the earnest requests of the generals in the army, he did not agree in a hurry, but scattered twenty miles of scouts to investigate.
After a delay of more than an hour, it was not until the scouts came to report that no enemy situation had been detected around Yuan Chonghuan and ordered the pursuit.
The three armies moved in unison, chasing all the way along both sides of the Hunhe River, and the troops advanced north for nearly 40 miles before stopping.
More than 20,000 were captured.
Although most of them are old and weak, women and children.
"Happy, happy, hahahaha!"
Zu Dashou, who was covered in blood, raised his neck, laughed and walked into Yuan Chonghuan's handsome tent, untied the blood-stained sash and threw it on the table, and laughed: "Damn, how many years have you been holding back in Jinzhou, it can be regarded as a big battle." ”
Yuan Chonghuan ignored him, staring at the battle map with a serious face.
After Shenyang, it is Fushun Horse City, Fushun is an important material transit station for the Houjin people, when the eight Jin merchants were still there, it was in Fushun Horse City and the Houjin people to trade with the enemy, in addition to the Mongolian departments of Chahar and the Houjin between the link is also in Fushun.
When Fushun is taken, Houjin's national fortunes will be completely dead.
Yuan Chonghuan remembered the latest military report of the scouts, and now Fushun City is also in chaos, and there is no established Jiannu army at all.
It seems that Huang Taiji is really starving to death across the country because of the lack of food.
"Prepare ......"
Yuan Chonghuan was just about to order to continue the pursuit, striving to take Fushun before tonight, when he heard a commotion outside the tent.
At that moment, his eyebrows furrowed, and he snorted.
"Who's making a noise outside the tent?"
The soldiers walked in and reported with their fists clenched: "Back to the superintendent, there is a thousand households who claim to be the CIA, saying that they came here by His Majesty's holy decree and were detained by the Chinese military camp. ”
Central Intelligence Agency?
The oracle?
Yuan Chonghuan had never heard of this yamen, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest about such a big matter as the holy oracle, and hurriedly looked solemn: "Please come in quickly." ”
"No."
The soldiers left, and returned a moment later with a thousand households dressed in a flying fish suit.
The flying fish suit is not exclusive to Jinyiwei, but a royal uniform, Jinyiwei can wear it, and some people can wear it in the past.
"Humble Dong Zhao, I've seen Inspector Yuan."
Dong Zhao's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he only said with a strong spirit at this moment: "Your Majesty's holy message, withdraw the army quickly, this is the full set of Huang Taiji, Liaoyang City has been evacuated in an orderly manner as early as a month ago, and the 30,000 elites of Daishan who are guarding Liaoyang are not chaotic at all, this is all Huang Taiji's bitter strategy, and the tens of thousands of old and weak women and children who have not had time to evacuate are simply the bait left behind." ”
After that, he didn't catch his breath and fainted with a pop.
Yuan Chonghuan was shocked, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to take Dong Zhao down for treatment, but his eyebrows jumped violently, and he couldn't sit still.
Is this information true?
"Inspector, all the work is in front of you."
Zu Dashou saw that Yuan Chonghuan had plans to withdraw his troops, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Don't say much."
Yuan Chonghuan raised his hand to stop: "The holy oracle withdraws the troops, we will withdraw later, the victory in this battle is already huge, the big deal is that we will withdraw to the old camp in Liaoyang first, and then sit and wait for the fighter plane after settling on our heels." ”
"Overseer!" Zu Dashou was anxious, and pointed out of the tent with one hand: "Now the three armies are full of fighting spirit, and the generals and soldiers are united in one heart, and they all plan to use this battle to completely destroy the slave country.
What's more, the sons and daughters of the three armies, which one doesn't have a blood feud with the Jurchen? This revenge, the sons and daughters are already red-eyed, some have taken revenge, some have not yet taken revenge, at this time you ordered the withdrawal of troops, the army's heart will inevitably be chaotic. ”
Yuan Chonghuan was upset: "You can explain it to the sergeants." ”
"Can't explain it!"
Zu Dashou said very simply: "Our sons, we know best, they are all bloody sons, this battle will not let them take revenge on their families, they will never be willing to retreat." ”
The army is the war machine of the state, but the soldier is not a machine, and the soldier is flesh and blood with personal feelings.
It's just a pity that soldiers, especially those at this time, may not have a high level of ideological awareness, education level, and enforcement of military discipline and military orders.
What's more, it's still in the case of killing red eyes.
Withdraw troops?
Can it be unmoved?
Yuan Chonghuan was angry, but he also knew that what Zu Dashou said was reasonable, so he said: "Even if you can't withdraw your troops, you can't continue to pursue, retreat to Shenyang first, and then make a decision." ”
Seeing that Zu Dashou was about to speak, Yuan Chonghuan shouted angrily.
"Go for it!"
Zu Dashou puffed out his cheeks, and finally squeezed out a word.
"Yes."
-----------------
Thirty miles northeast of Fushun, on the banks of the Hunhe River.
Huang Taiji sat on a boulder on the bank of the river and stared at the sparkling water in a daze until Sonny came over.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Chonghuan has stopped his army."
"Stopped?" Huang Taiji stood up suddenly, and looked at Sony in disbelief: "How is it possible?" Didn't Yuan Chonghuan chase very fiercely in front of him. ”
Sonny said anxiously: "The minions don't know what the reason is, but Yuan Chonghuan has indeed stopped, and tens of thousands of troops are retreating south one after another, and the direction should be to Shenyang." ”
Huang Taiji clenched his fists.
For this battle, he not only gambled on the fortune of the country, but also sacrificed tens of thousands of clansmen as bait, and this matter was only known to Dai Shan and Sony in front of him in the entire Eight Banners!
The sacrifice of the clansmen is a good thing for both worlds, one can arouse the army's will to fight for revenge, and the other can also alleviate the current food crisis and enhance the long-term combat capability by reducing the number of people and reducing the number of people.
Now, Yuan Chonghuan is not chasing?
Want to withdraw?
"Your Majesty." Sonny looked at Huang Taiji, his eyes full of anxiety: "Now it's uncertain whether Yuan Chonghuan plans to withdraw to Shenyang for repair or directly to Ning Jin, if the latter, then all the hard work we have done this time will be wasted." ”
"I know, I know."
Huang Taiji jumped off the stone and paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, his expression full of hesitation.
Just thinking about it, several Eight Banner Banners such as Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai, and Dolgon came together in the distance.
"Fourth, what are you waiting for?" Amin's eyes were red, and he roared angrily and pointed in the direction of Shenyang: "Our people are being slaughtered by the Ming people, and you still have to stand still at this time and carry out some bullshit ambush orders." ”
A trace of annoyance flashed between Huang Taiji's eyebrows, but it was also fleeting, because Dai Shan spoke.
"Fourth, it can't be delayed any longer, the Ming army is showing signs of retreating."
Dai Shan opened his mouth, Huang Taiji had to give face, so he took a deep breath and showed a hideous and fierce light.
"Order the whole army, cancel the scheduled ambush, quickly march to Shenyang, and surround Yuan Chonghuan and his Guan Ning army in Shenyang! None of them can run away! ”
Amin dissipated his anger at this time, and he didn't pay attention to Huang Taiji, turned his head and left.
Mang Gurtai glanced at Huang Taiji, then at Amin's back, hugged Huang Taiji, and turned to follow.
Watching the two leave, Huang Taiji gritted his teeth angrily, but it was not good to attack in front of Dai Shan, so he could only swallow this breath alive, or Dai Shan said a word at this moment.
"Fourth, don't worry about the second and third, the two of them are simple-minded, and sometimes they don't think about it, but it's all for our Eight Banners."
"I know, Sony, send Big Baylor."
Sonny took three steps forward and saluted Dai Shanxing: "Lord Belle......"
Dai Shan sighed and turned to leave.
Huang Taiji was the only one left at the scene, looking at the blue sky and falling into deep thought.
Regardless of the contradictions between their four major Baylors, with Huang Taiji's military order, the Manchu Eight Banners hidden in various places in Salhu came out.
A full 185 Niulu, mixed with 60 Niulu from the Eight Banners of Mongolia and 12 Niulu from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, plus auxiliary soldiers, a full 120,000 army quickly moved towards Shenyang.
This is all the strength that Huang Taiji can show at this moment, and it is also all the military strength of the whole country of Houjin.
A real battle to bet on the fortunes of the country!
And the final battlefield of this war is.
Shenyang!
