Manchu Qing Shengjing, imperial palace.
One month before the time, the Qing Dynasty had already received news from the Qing Dynasty just after the army of Ming’s aid had set off from the capital.
There are still many details of Qing Dynasty in Ming Dynasty, especially like the moment of war. They pay more attention to it. The details of walking around continue to send all kinds of information, and they are also very detailed, including the number of reinforcements, the composition of arms, and the leading troops. The list of generals, etc., have detailed records.
(After all, this can be regarded as one of Tarzi’s founding magic weapons. In history, many famous cities in Liaodong, such as Liaoyang, Shenyang, etc., have been attacked by the combination of inside and outside with spies)
So since I learned that Ming was here, although I don’t know the specific number of people, according to a detailed report, there should be more than 100,000 people! Not to mention the Xuan Jia army that they regard as a confidant!
Therefore, such a scale quickly attracted the attention of Huang Taiji. He quickly made the decision to fight the Ming army with all the power of the whole country, just like in history! (Anyway, this is still their home court, where a big battle is held, which is inherently dominant)
And it has to be said that at this time, the Qing Dynasty, although Chongzhen would be beaten badly in the 11th year, but on the whole, it is still in a period of rising national power (although this process of rising national power has been severely hindered), so in After Huang Taiji issued the national mobilization order, within half a month, 200,000 Qing troops had been assembled! (Only 40,000 fewer than in history)
Of course, this quality is incomparable with the previous years. The age span of these 200,000 people ranges from fifteen to fifty years old. That is to say, this time my halal is really scratching the ground. … All men who are more than four and a half feet tall (that is, more than 1.4 meters) are required to be issued! If this is to lose... I'm sure that it is really going to be pants!
Obviously the reason for this is that Huang Taiji is compelled to do so, because he is very clear and has a strategic vision... he knows that this is a battle that determines the national fortune! If you win, the Qing Dynasty will have a bright future, and it is no longer a dream to even take control of the Central Plains. If you lose, you will naturally stop mentioning everything. It is estimated that you will have to go deep into the mountains and old forests again and return to the previous half-savage life.
On September 3, the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally led an army of 200,000, and led all the prince Baylor and other important officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including the servant army (Mongolian Eight Banners, Han Army Eight Banners, Korean sticks, etc.) ), has reached Rufeng Mountain near Xingshan Mountain, Huangtuling area, and built a large number of trenches, stone walls and other military facilities in these two places.
(Huang Taiji still has a very strategic vision, Rufeng Mountain and Huangtuling are the only way to Jinzhou, so he first deployed heavy defenses to take advantage of the first hand)
But even so, to be honest, when the Ming dynasty joined the aid army and gathered in Ningyuan and did not make the next move, Huang Taiji was still a little anxious, because the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was good at encircling the spot to fight aid, and their general combat thinking was through mobilization The enemy's fresh force to achieve the purpose of annihilation.
(Even if you look at history, you will find that history is surprisingly similar. It is like the battle between the Communist Party and the Communist Party outside the pass. It is also about making a fuss around Jinzhou and other big cities. One side is guarding, the other is fighting for aid, and the other does not want to follow. If your train of thought goes, one side wants to mobilize your reinforcements, and the two sides fight wits and courage accordingly.
Just like among them, after the national army was trapped in a big city outside the pass, in order to encourage his subordinates, General Sun Liren once said a very famous saying, I will personally lead the first army to come and relieve the siege! )
So now Huang Taiji’s worry is that if the Ming Junjun gathers together and follows Hong Chengchou’s usual cautious tactics, that is, setting up a payment channel and advancing step by step, it will be difficult for them to give play to their own advantages (Hong Chengchou has previously served as Governor Ji Liao has been in control for several years, so the corresponding combat style has been mastered by the Qing army).
However, when Huang Taiji got the report, the Ming army assembled in Ningyuan began to dispatch, and walked to the area of Muchong Fort (on the slightly north side of Tashan) in one breath, and was behind them. On the road, when there were only 20,000 soldiers and horses to look after, Huang Taiji was overjoyed, feeling that the opportunity has finally come... After all, it is more profitable to cut off the food road than to fight for aid!
For help, you can steal book tickets like stealing food. Come steal the book tickets of your friends and vote for me.
However, the opportunity came so easily, and he was afraid of falling into the trap of the Ming army, so a highest-level combat meeting was soon held in the Manchu high-level.
At the foot of Rufeng Mountain, an abandoned former Ming Army garrison official hall was slightly repaired, and the walls were covered with Manchurian tapestries. Huang Taiji was above the main seat, including those present, they were all from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Prince Baylor, as well as the dignitaries of the Mongolian Eight Banners.
After these important figures arrived in Qi, Huang Taiji began. He first hung a huge map of Liaodong on the wall and gave an explanation in person. After these important Manchu ministers knew the current situation, he was Let these princes Baylor express their views, and he can choose the best suggestions to adopt.
In this case, as a veteran of the Manchus, Daishan (he is also known for being conservative), who is nearly sixty years old, said: "His Emperor Qi, this really seems to be an opportunity, but Minions worry that the commander of the Ming army is not someone who doesn't know the soldiers. Will he easily reveal such a big flaw? Or is there any trap in it? So please think twice."
And Daishan’s opinion also represents the opinions of most of the important officials of the Manchu Dynasty... That is to say, there may be fraud in it!
But among them, there is another important man in the Qing Dynasty who is also recognized as the number one wise man, but Dorgon, the prince of Rui, has a different view.
After studying the map carefully, he said in a deep voice, "The emperor Qiqiang, but the minion has another opinion... that is, since there is this opportunity, then not only will he send troops to intercept his food path! Send more soldiers!"
Then, facing the surprised gazes of many important Manchu officials, Dorgon calmly said: "We can imagine that if there is no trap, then the best, even if he has a trap, so what! Bring thirty or forty thousand people. , He can eat, but what if he takes six to seventy thousand people?"
"Take a step back and say that even if he could eat 60,000 to 70,000 people, he had already completed the strategic goal of cutting off the Ming Army’s food road (after all, the main force of the Ming Army has been moved to the Mu Chongpu area), so it’s here. At that time, even if they have big tricks, can they still come up with tricks? If the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops have no supplies, I am afraid they will soon collapse, right?"
"That's why the minions are not talented, and they are willing to lead the troops."
"Very good!" After listening to Huang Taiji, he was very pleased... I have to say that he and Dorgon wanted to go together, that is, a rare opportunity. If there is no trap, you must jump in, and if there is a trap, you must jump in! After all, the gun that cuts off the food road is too big!
(Moreover, there is detailed information that supports them. They know that in addition to the troublesome Xuanjia Army, there are also goods like the escape general Ma Ke, Bai Guangen, and Wang Pu in the Ming army, so they only need to cut After the food road, before the Ming army eliminated the warriors who cut off the food road, the Ming army could not support it and collapsed first, right? Of course, this was indeed staged in the original history)
Therefore, Huang Taiji immediately made the decision. He said in a deep voice, "In this case, Prince Rui is in charge, and I will order you to lead two white flags, two red flags, plus one Zhenglan flag, plus part of Mongolia Eight Banners, with a total of 80,000 troops, went to cut off the Ming army’s food passage. Is it possible to do it?"
"The slave follows the order." After hearing this, Dorgon knelt down to accept the order, and he also felt the sincerity of Huang Taiji, let alone Huang Taiji sent him a full 80,000 horses (in his expectation there can be 60,000 to 70,000 is not bad), and among them, Zhenglan Qi is still his son Hauge’s straight-leader eight banners. Such a direct line has been sent to him. Obviously, he really wants to do his best to fight this battle. …
With so many people, Dorgon is more confident... Ha ha, what if you have a trap! I'm trying to lose half of my troops, and I will cut off your food path!
Moreover, Huang Taiji at this time was still very prestigious in the Qing Dynasty. Although his physical condition was not satisfactory and he often fell ill, he still did not prevent him from speaking. After that, many of the important Manchu ministers all obeyed together. According to the purpose.
So after the battle plan was finalized, the next 80,000 Qing troops started to act immediately and rushed to the Ming Army’s food road.
And among them, 80,000 were divided into 20,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry, and Dorgon was still careful... He estimated that the possibility of encountering traps was not small, so he just slowed down the speed of his journey. It is necessary to fight for the time when the cavalry and infantry arrive at the battlefield together, and then he will win with this huge number!
(After all, this is also very obvious. Even in the eleventh year of Chongzhen's entry battle, a total of 100,000 people entered the customs. Then the soldiers were divided into eight teams and marched together, but now?)
Ming army, the hidden army.
Soon after receiving a report from the special camp, Yang Shanlu was still very satisfied... Haha, Tanzi really got the bait!
However, since the guests are here, whether you can'enter' all these guests, or even keep them all, depends on the Ming Army's own... It is even the first test of the battle of exit.
In this case, it happened that Hong Chengchou was about to convene the last military meeting before the war, and Yang Shanlu did his part to give a speech at this military meeting, and he was still the subject of a speech.
And the thoughts he expounded are also very clear... That is, at this time of national war, everyone has to make their own choices... To be a sinner of the nation, a sinner of the nation, cast aside by all ages! I still want to go to the Martyrs' Shrine after I die, I am admired by all the world! Think about it yourself!
The reason why Yang Shanlu said this is because among the generals who are in ambush here, there have been some running offenses, or there will be a few running offenses... Just like Bai Guangen, Ma Ke, Wang Pu and others. , So Yang Shanlu must be vaccinated first.
Including this keynote speech, in addition to re-emphasizing the military law of the Seventeen Forbidden Laws and the 54 Slashes, Yang Shanlu also emphasized one point... That is, at the time of the national war, if anyone dares to flee, as long as he Yang Shan Lu is alive, even if he escapes to the end of the world, he will definitely be killed by himself!
Well, after listening to Yang Shanlu's speech, the faces of Bai Guangen and others were not pretty... Is this meant for them
And to be honest, Yang Shanlu really has this ability to behead a court general and a dignified general! Just think about it. When scanning the Central Plains gangsters, Liu Liangzuo, who was also a general soldier, ran away. What was the result? He was killed by Yang Shanlu before returning to Daying! And he would be a guerrilla general, but now
So in the face of such a high-pressure policy, these people just have to look at the selfish and distracting thoughts hidden in their hearts...
What they didn’t expect was that because this was a battle for the national movement, Yang Shanlu didn’t count on their personal sentiments, so in addition to verbal warnings, he had practical actions... that was for every commander. , Send two more supervising officers to be appointed by the Xuanjia army, so that if anyone relapses and wants to escape, they must first ask the two supervising officers whether they agree or not!
After Yang Shanlu’s words were finished, Bai Guangen and others on the scene were all in a big uproar. Even among them, the Shanhaiguan General Soldier Ma Ke stood up and said angrily: "Uncle Zhen Guo, you are What do you mean! Don’t you believe me to wait?"
"Neither, nor—" Yang Shanlu said with a chuckle, "It has nothing to do with believing you or not. I just want to better guarantee the victory of this war, and even to guarantee this nation." And the luck of the country!"
"And you don’t feel insulted, because we are all equal... I send the prison army to you, you can also send the prison army to me, I, Yang, will put a sentence here, if the time comes I Yang wants to run away, you can let them chop off my head first!"
I rely on, such utterly loud words make Ma Ke and others speechless... Then what else is there to say, people are treated equally, and there is no discrimination... And Yang Shanlu has said so, you If you refuse it again, you will easily seem to have a ghost in your heart!
Of course, for Yang Shanlu’s suggestion, the final decision is in the hands of Governor Jiliao Hong Chengchou and imperial supervising army Zhang Ruolin, but the supervising army officer needless to say, Yang Sichang told him when he left Beijing. So immediately I fully agree...
As for the commander-in-chief of this operation, Hong Chengchou, it is the same... Honestly speaking, if he hadn't been afraid of offending people, he would have ordered execution like this. (As mentioned earlier, Hong Chengchou's ambitions are not small, and he wants to count on this battle He was appointed to worship the minister, so he won't let these generals do him bad), but what about now
As a result, it was passed on the spot. That is to say, there are a total of seven soldiers in charge of encircling and annihilating the enemy. They are Yang Guozhu, general soldier in Xuanfu Town, Wang Pu, general soldier in Datong, and Cao Bianjiao, general soldier in Yutian. , Wang Tingchen, General Soldier of the Front Tun Guard, Bai Guangen, General Soldier of Jizhen, Ma Ke, General Soldier of Shanhaiguan, and Wu Sangui, General Soldier of Ningyuan.
Then, beside these seven generals, each of them sent two supervising officers sent by the Xuanjia Army. They usually stay by these generals inseparably. Of course, they can't ask any questions about their military decisions. But if anyone wants to escape by any chance, I'm sorry and let you drop your head right away!
Even in the same way, Yang Shanlu asked them to send several people over... so that everyone had a bowl of water.
After just taking this measure, Yang Shanlu felt that the atmosphere on the scene didn't seem so high... After all, think about it, those generals felt that they were being so guarded, and they didn't feel very good at all, so Yang Shanlu began to cheer on the scene.
Of course, old brothers like Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Yancheng, needless to say, but for those who met for the first time, especially Wu Sangui, the youngest among them, Yang Shanlu always praised Wu Sangui as our army. The rising star in China, the star of the future! And sincerely wish him success in this war!
And Yang Shanlu’s enthusiastic encouragement made Wu Sangui very embarrassed... Although Wu Sangui has already made her mark in the Ming army at this moment, especially the Guanning iron cavalry, she still can’t compete with Yang Shanlu at all. Compared to.
But now? The dignified state uncle is actually so affectionate to him? So Wu Sangui is very grateful... He patted his chest and said, let's see his performance next!
The reason why Yang Shanlu did this was his plan. For example, there were statistics in later generations—the top ten heroes of the late Ming Dynasty.
Among the top ten heroes of the late Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui was ranked eighth. According to their ranking, Sun Chengzong was the first (mainly old enough), Lu Xiangsheng was the second, Cao Wenzhao was the second, Sun Chuanting was the fourth, and Cao Bianjiao was the fifth. , The sixth Hong Chengchou, the seventh Li Dingguo, the eighth Wu Sangui, the ninth week Yuji, the tenth ancestor birthday.
But Yang Shanlu knew that Wu Sangui, the hero at this time, would become the King of Pingxi in the future! So in order to save his life trajectory, let's make some efforts now...
You can even imagine that in this battle, Wu Sangui lived up to his fame. (When he was a teenager, Wu Sangui had personally led dozens of families and rescued his father Wu Xiang after he was surrounded by Tarts. Is rumored to be a beautiful talk).
Killing a large number of dogs and even the high-ranking generals of the dogs, so that after his hands are covered with the blood of the dogs, it will become very difficult for Man Qing to surrender him in the future...
Even if you think about it again, among the ten great heroes of the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were several generals present (Cao Bianjiao, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, and Zu Dashou, the target who needs rescue this time), so Yang Shanlu has reason to believe that it will be used in the first battle. Me, use me to win!
So just like that, after all arrangements were made, the seven generals rushed to their ambush places and quietly waited for the arrival of the dog!
