On the second day, the entire Ming army camp was full of joy, because at this moment of the contest, the dawn of victory has been fully revealed. The only thing that is uncertain is the size of the result... Is it the final beheading of 150,000? Or two hundred thousand? Haha!
(And because of the endorsement of Yang Shanlu, the Emperor Chongzhen is also full of confidence in giving rewards. The old gentlemen in the Hubei still don’t know about this great victory. Otherwise, I’m probably going to be worried about falling asleep at night. Do you feel it
But as for Emperor Chongzhen, it was announced to the soldiers on the spot that day that the beheading still carried out the high reward set before! So, you guys, go and kill the enemy to your heart's content!
And this kind of promise made the whole army cheer, because it is also very obvious. Can such a high reward make these Ming army all small rich men
Think about it, beheading a head can be exchanged for thirty taels of silver, but how much is the capital beheaded up to now? After several great victories add up, is there 180,000 beheaded? Or 190,000? With so many gains, and then spread evenly to the current 100,000 Ming army, almost all of them have earned five years of living expenses all at once...)
Of course, other than that, it is very cumbersome to assess individual merits specifically... After all, there are too many beheadings, so I can only make detailed records and then return to Beijing to assess them slowly.
But there are two people, but Yang Shanlu must beg for them! And to recommend to Emperor Chongzhen—that is, the armed forces behind enemy lines that have been fighting in the most dangerous area, and the sea assault team!
The role they played was the role that Mao Wenlong played back then. He has been active in the heart of Tarzi, effectively restraining and weakening the dog Tarzi! As for the credit this time, let alone (if you don’t have the experience of fighting guerrilla warfare in Liaodong for four or five years, I’m afraid you can’t even find it?)
Moreover, although their work is very dangerous, they have never received the attention and approval of the court, especially Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others (after all, are they from gangsters), but now? With Yang Shanlu's personal recommendation, will the result be the same
So when Li Dingguo and others, as well as the veteran Jin Riguan, came to the front of Emperor Chongzhen together, after Emperor Chongzhen asked the reasons for the Ming, that was greatly appreciated and promised on the spot!
For example, Li Dingguo, when he first recruited Zhang Xianzhong, he was also given a defensive official position. However, this kind of official position is different from the serious official position. It is all false. But now, Chongzhen personally sealed him as a Liaodong guerrilla. General, and in the big fort that was laid down this time, he will be garrisoned. In this way, he can still fight guerrillas at ordinary times, but it is equivalent to having a base!
For this Long Enhao **, Li Dingguo was also very grateful, and knelt down on the spot to thank you.
And I have to say that Li Dingguo's essence is very good, worthy of being a famous national hero in history! If he came to Liaodong to fight guerrillas, he was to avenge his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong (see above).
However, after several years of warfare, including Yang Shanlu's correspondence with him, he slowly became subtle, so now Li Dingguo has grown from an ignorant young man to only the youth who followed Zhang Xianzhong to fight everywhere (Li Dingguo at the time) When I first came to Liaodong, I was only 18 years old), and he has grown into an outstanding general with patriotic sentiment!
Realizing that the non-self race must have different hearts, he has made the elimination of the Tartars and the protection of the rivers and mountains as his life goal! A generation of famous generals has begun to shine! Play his due role!
In addition to him, veteran Jin Riguan, this time also received strong praise from Chongzhen, and said on the spot that after this battle, he will be promoted to the general soldier, and he will be stamped with the seal of'Ping Captive General' to encourage him!
And this kind of award made the veteran Jin Riguan very excited, although General Pingkuo was the lowest rank among Daming's titled generals.
(Da Ming’s titled generals, also known as generals by the generals, are divided into three classes. The first general Zhenshuo, such as Yang Guozhu, and the second general Zhengxi, such as Hu Dawei, are the generals before Zhengxi. The last level thief generals, such as Zuo Liangyu, that is, Zhen, Zheng, and Ping).
However, in the forty and fifty generals of the Ming Dynasty, there are not many people who can get the title of general! (In the original history, there were eight people) But now? Will he get the title of general just as soon as he becomes the general soldier? Not to mention that in the original history, he had already been martyred in the defensive battle of Phi Island, and died as a deputy, but now
So veteran Jin Riguan, that is very satisfying.
And this kind of reward, the other top ten soldiers met, and no one was jealous. On the contrary, everyone liked it and looked forward to...
And this is also very obvious. Since the imperial court has not hesitated to reward military merits, what kind of rewards will they get after they return to Beijing for such a great victory this time? Is it the same with the general seal? Still Fenghou? Or even Feng Bo? Become a noble class? Hereditary failure? Haha!
So in this way, the entire Ming army camp is full of excitement and morale, and after further research, after breaking through the Qing army’s Rufeng Mountain defense line, our army’s victory is just around the corner... After Fengshan is Songshan, and Jinzhou is only separated by a small Linghe, so this time the battle for aid has almost entered the final stage.
And this is also very obvious. After breaking the Rufeng Mountain defense line, although there is still a Songshan defense line known by the Qing army, after the reconnaissance of the special battalion, it has long been known that it was built by relying on a few small soil enclosures. The line of defense (the so-called Xiaotuweizi is a few small mounds that are more than ten meters high), even that kind of rough terrain, can not be called a line of defense!
So you still want to stop our army with this? Obviously, after the fortified battle of the Rufeng Mountain defense line, the next step will be to enter a stage of rapid advance... The Qing army will be in no danger to defend.
And after the victory of Rufeng Mountain, the gap between the enemy and our army has been further widened. This is also very obvious. After the original Qing army passed the fiasco of Bijia Mountain, only 120,000 people were left (excluding those who besieged Jinzhou. 30,000 Qing troops, 10,000 of them were transferred to the Rufeng Mountain defense line).
However, in this Rufeng Mountain victory, nearly 20,000 Qing troops were killed and wounded in the initial battle, and nearly 70,000 Qing troops were wiped out in one fell swoop on the final day of the Great Annihilation War!
In this way, the 120,000 Qing army is only 30,000 left (if you add the 30,000 Qing army besieging Jinzhou, there are only 60,000 left, of which the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled make up the majority. The proportion of standard soldiers is already less than one-third).
But on the other hand, our army has lost about 20,000 people after the great victory of Beacon Mountain, but there are still 130,000 troops. This time, 90,000 Qing troops were eliminated, and their own losses were only 30,000 ( Most of the losses were caused in the initial battle).
Therefore, in this way, the gap between the two sides has further widened. From the beginning, the Qing army was 240,000, and the Ming army was 170,000 (the Qing army’s 240,000 was the 200,000 that Huang Taiji personally led, plus the siege. Jinzhou’s 40,000 Qing troops, and the Ming’s 170,000 troops, are 150,000 aid troops, plus Jinzhou’s garrison 20,000)
It has become a 60,000 Qing army vs. 120,000 Ming army (one hundred thousand assisted troops plus twenty thousand Jinzhou defenders), and the situation on both sides has become clear!
And more importantly, the 60,000 horses of the Qing army have a lot of moisture, and many of them are included in the number of miscellaneous troops, such as the troops of his Mongolian allies (such as the Horqin Department, etc.), as well as the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han The Eight Banners of the Army, and even the army of the Korean servants, plus the old, weak, sick and disabled among them, make up the majority of them, so it is estimated that there are no real Manchu elite soldiers among them.
In the face of such an advantage, will the Ming army ever let it go? Therefore, with the support of the detailed information provided by Yang Shanlu (the contribution of Dandelion who was sent to the outside of the Guan), and the vigorous promotion of the army supervisor Hong Chengchou, the top ten general soldiers carried out extensive publicity among their respective men.
So in this way, the whole army knows that the dog tart is a grasshopper after the autumn, and it will not be able to jump for a few days! Including this, the entire Ming army is even more motivated to fight. Our army has already won the battle for aid this time! Including the mountain that has been crushing the Ming army for decades, it will be completely overthrown!
And our army is happy here, what about Dongnu
Qing army, Huang Taiji.
The people of the Ming army all wanted to celebrate the festival, but here, there was a gloomy mist, and at this time they had already retreated to the Songshan line of defense in one breath, and they were able to stabilize their position.
But even so, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the situation in my Qing Dynasty is already quite bad! Think about it, since the start of this decisive battle, they have been defeated by Bijiashan in the first battle and Rufengshan in the second war! After these two bad battles were fought, the essence of my Qing Dynasty was lost!
Even if this is not the case, as these tens of thousands of remnants were defeated and retreated to Songshan, they all began to flee... The troops of the Eight Banners of the Han Army began to flee, the troops of the Eight Banners of Mongolia began to flee, and even the authentic Manchus began to quietly. The bugger! (Of course, including allies' troops, there are a large number of people leaving without saying goodbye... You can stay cool, let's not play with you!)
Of course, this is also very obvious. Seeing that my country is going to die! Seeing that the broken ship of Daqing is about to sink, is it still staying on it and waiting for death? Of course it is necessary to find a way out as soon as possible!
So when the 60,000 remnants were defeated and fled to Songshan, even less than 50,000 people were counted-they all slipped away!
And after the news was reported to Huang Taiji, this kind of outlier who was also capable in the dog tart, he vomited blood again after hearing it... He vomited two bowls! Hearing such bad news one after another, can his body not collapse? Of course, in the original history, he died a year later, but now...
Huang Taiji tells himself that he must stand up and never fall down! Otherwise, if he returns to heaven at this time, it will be a blow to the military's morale... My Daqing will really be over!
So next, even though Huang Taiji was extremely weak and dying, he still hanged himself on some Laoshan ginseng every day, and then supported the sick body, summoned the Manchu dignitaries who had fled back, including important allies of the Manchu, and began to convene. Military conference, what should we do next
In this turbulent time, what should I do next? (End of this chapter)
