Chapter 392

The small court in Nanjing was stunned to see more and more emperors emerging in the world, and they were a little at a loss.

It is said that there are no two days in the sky, there are no two monarchs in the country, and now the emperors who have emerged in the world are enough to organize two football teams, and what is even worse is that the number of emperors continues to increase, and even the more than 200,000 troops they finally pulled up are not very stable.

Those military leaders looked at Zhu Yihai with bad intentions, this emperor doesn't seem to be a big deal, why do you deserve the Zhu family, our Zhao family, the Li family, and the Yang family?

It doesn't make sense! What's even worse is that at this critical juncture, the Wenchen of the small court in Nanjing still did not change their contempt and arrogance towards the generals, and offended several generals who could fight.

The Donglin Party continued their traditional style of doing nothing and reaping nothing left, and with astonishing efficiency, the situation in the Jiangnan region was corrupted to the point of incomparability.

People of insight look at this scene like a carnival of the end of the world, they are all frightened, do this way, don't explain the army, even if the Qing army wins, Jiangnan can't escape a bloody river disaster, the unruliness of the Jiangnan gentry group has exceeded the limit of the tolerance of any party that can dominate the world!

"Nineteen emperors!"

Sanhening Naval Battalion, Cheng Shijie looked at the information in front of him, and smiled bitterly, now there are nineteen emperors with more than 100,000 troops, of which there are three with more than 200,000 troops, whether it is Huang Taiji, Zhu Yihai or Li Zicheng's support of King Qin, they all have more than 200,000 troops.

Cheng Shijie sighed: "There is chaos in this world! ”

"The chaos in Jiangnan!"

Zhou Ning frowned and said, "Do we want to ......?"

"No need, besides, we don't have the absolute strength to meddle in Jiangnan now, Jiangnan is chaotic, let them continue to mess up!"

"I'm afraid this chaos will take a long time!"

Zhou Ning sighed and said, "Unless the Jiangnan Jinshen Group can unify the world by itself!" ”

"Xiucai rebelled, it is difficult to succeed in ten years!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "But look at their urine nature, let them unify the world, that is ...... difficult"

Cheng Shijie did not continue, history has long proved that the Donglin Party is not good at dry sand except for playing with mouths, and letting them unify Jiangnan is definitely no less than riding a donkey on the moon, which is simply impossible.

The emperors rushed out and attacked each other, and the south of the Yangtze River was in chaos, and the world was in chaos.

"There's definitely something wrong with that!"

Zhou Ning analyzed: "Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many emperors to appear!" ”

This is indeed the case, the rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty is not a new thing, whether it is Wang Jiayin, or Lao Huihui, Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng and others, they have never dared to call themselves emperors, even if Li Zicheng still has to use the banner of Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin.

It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty has absolute weight in the hearts of the people of the world, but the problem is that there are so many emperors now, which is definitely not a good thing.

Cheng Shijie nodded, he looked in the direction of Beijing City and said: "This matter is actually not difficult to guess, it has a direct relationship with the people in Beijing City!" ”

Zhou Ning asked, "What are they trying to do?" ”

"Muddy the water, so you can fish in troubled water!"

Cheng Shijie groaned: "Huang Taiji, what the hell they did! ”

Zhou Ning was a little puzzled: "What are they doing this?" ”

"It's very simple, win over allies!"

Cheng Shijie said: "He used Yang Mou, used people's hearts, power is an addictive poison, these nineteen emperors, each control their own area, and it is also convenient for him to use the art of indulgence!" ”

Zhou Ning suddenly realized: "Most of these nineteen emperors are made up, only Zhu Cunji, the king of Qin, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, are too far away from Jiangnan to reach, so the king of Qin ......"

"We're going to change our plans too!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "Once Huang Taiji finds that Beijing can't hold it, he will break through to Shanxi at all costs, and once he runs to Shanxi to join the Dolgon department, then we will be in big trouble."

"There are many mountainous areas in Shanxi, although it is inconvenient for the cavalry to cross and horizontally, but the impact on our Ning Navy is not small!"

"More critically, it will make it more difficult for us to supply logistics!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the direction of Tongzhou and said: "We retreated, fought a war of attrition with Jiannu in Tongzhou and Dong'an, we carried Liaodong on our backs, we had the convenience of shipping, the grain of Luzon and Dayuan, and the shells produced in Liaodong, they couldn't consume us!" ”

Just like the war between Russia and Ukraine in later generations, although the war began to stalemate, this move is like the Laoshan round war, adopting the method of attrition war to consume the enemy.

Although the Ning navy was fully capable of attacking the capital in one go and driving Jiannu out of the capital, Cheng Shijie did not do so, because he had completed the strategic encirclement of the Manchus, from the southeast of Shuntianfu in Beijing to Baoding and the northeast, the area directly controlled by the Manchus was not clear about the three prefectures.

With the flames of war, the ninth year of Chongzhen passed in September, and Beizhili ushered in the first month of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the sea of corpses and blood.

The weather in Beizhili is cold and snowy, but Beizhili is a cruel and maddening hell on earth.

In Beizhili, two of the most elite and fierce armies in the whole of Asia collided head-on and engaged in an unprecedented and tragic battle. It was the most brutal war that broke out between the two ethnic groups for living space, and both sides were merciless, without sympathy, without mercy, and without leaving prisoners.

Countless civilians were caught up in the war, famous cities were turned into ruins under the rushing fire, and a large number of civilians were turned into white bones under the butcher's knife, such a tragic war is really rare!

Now the focus of the battlefield is in the Dong'an area of Shuntianfu, that is, Langfang in later generations, the Ning Navy launched an unprecedented fierce offensive to this area, and the Qing army also broke out here with extraordinary courage and determination, this is a war that the Qing army cannot afford to lose, if it is lost here, the connection between Beijing and Hejian Province will be cut off, and the Beijing that was finally taken will become an isolated city, and it really comes to this point, the Qing army will be completely defeated!

In the final analysis, war is still fought by the economy and strength.

The Eighth Brigade and the Guards Brigade of the Ning Navy retreated from Sanhe until they retreated to Tongzhou, and on the battlefield in the direction of Dong'an, the Qing army with the Guanning Army as the main force and the Ning Navy with the same strength as themselves confronted each other, and a decisive battle was about to break out.

The Qing army was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Ning Navy, especially after changing its outfit and receiving modern military training, the Ning Navy had become a formidable force, and it was irrational to fight a decisive battle with such a well-equipped and high-morale army.

But the Qing army had no choice, don't look at the Ning Navy retreating to Tongzhou City, but the situation in the area of Beijing and Tianjin is becoming more and more critical, and their only choice is to repel the offensive of the Ning Navy Army on the Dong'an area as soon as possible!

In fact, in Cheng Shijie's consideration, there are mainly two reasons, the whole army of the Ning Navy is changing its outfit and also needs training, but no matter how good the training on the training ground is, it is far better to directly train on the battlefield.

Another reason was to let the gentry who surrendered to the Manchus taste for themselves how cruel and bastard their own masters were.

On the whole, the Qing army has been in full decline, in all battlefields are only parrying, no power to fight back, the original Ming Army Northern Expedition Corps roaring into the customs has long since dissipated, leaving only panic and confusion.

Maybe it wasn't until now that Huang Taiji realized how unrealistic it was for the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops and the hundreds of thousands of Guan Ning troops who ate inside and outside to swallow the entire Ming Dynasty, he was playing with fire.

It's a pity that it's too late, even if he wants to stop now, it's impossible, without the Ming army all over the world, Ning Haijun will not let him go, and if he can't imagine, he can only desperately collect troops, continue to entangle with Lei Shisheng's army on the front line of Badaling, and fight to the death with Chen Dayong's department of Ning Navy in the direction of Dong'an.

At the same time, as many infantry troops as possible were sent to the front line of Zhendingfu, trying to open up the connection with Shanxi, and struggling to support, and at the same time sending messengers in the direction of Shanxi one after another, hoping to get a response from Dolgon.

He firmly believes that victory belongs to him, Beizhili is too big, the Ming army does not have the ability to swallow such a large territory in one bite, the Eight Banners Army is consuming a lot of the strength of the Ming army under his command, the Qing army is exhausted, the Ming army is not comfortable, as long as the Dolgon army can cross the Xuanfu and enter the Central Plains, the situation will be reversed immediately!

Only, where the hell are Dorgon and his legions? Why not come yet?

The Qing army was confused, frightened, and at a loss, and the Daming Wenchen group, which assisted the Qing army in stealing this half of the country, was so heartbroken that they didn't even dare to understand the battle situation, for fear of hearing some bad news, and the blows they had suffered were too much!

In terms of killing people and punishing hearts, Cheng Shijie chose to punish hearts.

As far away from the whirlpool of war in Liaodong, affected by the war, all walks of life have developed excellently, a large number of military supplies are consumed on the battlefield, from canned food, bedding, shoes and socks, including vehicles, weapons and equipment, medicines, and various materials are produced and consumed.

Because it is far away from the war, people who want to escape the war have flocked to Liaodong, and the arrival of these people has stimulated the consumer market in Liaodong and made the market in Liaodong more prosperous.

The wharf is crowded with people, all of whom come to Liaodong for refuge, of course, the ferry ticket is not cheap, and most of the people who arrive in Liaodong at this time are people with a bit of wealth. Otherwise, it is a bit of technology, and Liaodong provides free ferry tickets for technical projects. Most of the people who go out are cargo ships, and each ship is full of cargo.

The population of Liaodong is larger, most of them have moved from other places, they belong to the bitter family who are still in the stage of self-made, simple and kind, and they are very grateful to Cheng Shijie, the regent of the prison country, who gave them food and planted their land.

Of course, the common people hope that those officials who are capable and kind to the people will be able to rise step by step, become stronger and stronger, provide better protection for themselves, and seek more benefits.

Tianjin, Dagukou.

This is the gateway of Beijing and Tianjin, the gateway of sea and land, and the strategic value cannot be overestimated. After Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, he built a city and fortified the city in Tianjin, and built a pier and artillery at Dagukou to consolidate the coastal defense, and Dagukou has since become an important fortress of the Beijing-Tianjin defense line.

After the Ning Navy occupied Tianjin, it also attached great importance to this bridgehead, stationed 6,500 elite soldiers here, and deployed more than three heavy artillery.

The officers and men of the Ning Navy stationed in Tianjin were Xie Shangkui, the son of Xie Zhiliang, the former Taiyuan commander-in-chief.

Because of the war, but also because the wealth accumulated in the people of Gyeonggi flowed to Tianjin at an alarming speed, in exchange for urgently needed food, cloth, bedding, steel, medicine and other strategic materials, millions of silver and countless displaced people poured into Tianjin, providing an extremely strong impetus for Tianjin's development.

Originally, Tianjin had less than 100,000 people, but now it has officially surpassed the capital, with a population of more than one million, you must know that this is more than a million people at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Because when you come to Tianjin, you can have a way to live.

In front of a soup kitchen outside the city, many poorly clothed people were lining up there, while several officials were carrying large poks of multigrain rice and vegetables, and everyone stepped forward one by one to collect them. The dishes are not sumptuous, but they are full of oil and water, and everyone eats them deliciously.

Although Cheng Shijie wanted to use attrition tactics to exhaust all the strength of the Qing army, the new six brigades of the Ning Navy, that is, the new army established with the Dashun army as the old foundation, they did not think so, their offensive wave after wave, in the direction of Zhendingfu, they were in a hurry to perform, and did not give the Qing army any respite at all, Zhengding, Houlu, Jingcheng, Pingshan, Gaocheng, Xingtang, Lingshou, Yuanshi, Zanhuang, Wuji, Luancheng, Xinle, Jinzhou......

Cities were planted with the battle flags of the Ning Navy, and the defense lines were shattered by the overwhelming artillery fire of the Ning Navy. There is no reason to doubt the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, even if there is a Ning Navy and the Tianxiong Army, their combat effectiveness can firmly rank among the top three in East Asia.

There is also no reason to doubt the bravery and tenacity of the Manchurian warriors, who really even used the strength to feed.

However, the gap is too great, and no matter how tenacious they are in the face of opponents who are a generation ahead of them in equipment and tactics, they can only be crushed.

The Qing army was desperate to find that the flat and vast North China Plain was no longer a paradise for cavalry, and in the face of the phalanx composed of spears as dense as reeds, the invincible Manchurian iron cavalry was struggling, and the bullets fired by countless guns were intertwined into a blazing dead line, and the Qing cavalry had not yet rushed to the Ning navy, and had been cut down in pieces.

Even if he rushed in front of Ning Haijun, he couldn't rush through, the dense spears and bayonets formed a cold line of death, making the war horses fearful, and the crow-like flocks of bullets and the rain of bullets like a fire curtain made the cavalry who tried to pass through the gap between the phalanxes, looking for the flaws were killed and wounded.

Ning Haijun gave up all tactics, it was completely the simplest and most direct attack, it was completely the simplest and most direct desperate for human life, but the Qing army had no way to take them, but they could only be defeated again and again!

The Qing army did not try to break this deadlock, but unfortunately, the Qing army has always lacked a little luck, it seems that as long as it is against Cheng Shijie or Cheng Shijie, the goddess of luck will leave the Qing army, and the ghost will know what is going on.
