So next, Yang Shanlu, as a representative, made an introduction to the current situation of the enemy and us for all the generals who joined the aid. The reason why he came forward is because the special battalion under Yang Shanlu has been monitoring closely. Dog Tartar’s whereabouts, so he has the most say in the current situation.
So facing a fairly accurate map of Liaodong (painted by the special camp himself), Yang Shanlu began to introduce it.
"You generals, please take a look. So far, our army has eliminated more than 210,000 people from the Qing army (including various miscellaneous troops), and the current Dongnu has become a formed army, led by the slave chief Dorgon, who has more than 5,000 dead enemies. People, plus the 30,000 Qing troops that originally besieged Jinzhou, but in the current situation, Dongnu only has a little over 10,000 left."
"Ah!" After hearing this news, the generals present were very surprised, but after Yang Shanlu explained, they also understood that the slave chief Dorgon led those who escaped the Xiaoling River After the defeated generals and the Qing army besieged Jinzhou, they ran into chaos again.
The Qing troops who were besieging Jinzhou did not know the news of the frontline defeat (to prevent the military from being shaken, the news was sealed at first), but they naively thought that the situation on the frontline was very good. After all, even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty Did you ask for it...
However, after the two sides converged, the news could no longer be blocked. When it was learned that the front line had been defeated and lost, the 240,000 troops on the expedition had been wiped out, and there were only a few of them left, the whole army was in an uproar. !
Then they waited until they knew that even the emperor of the Qing Dynasty had died in battle, and there was even a terrible rumor that even their capital, Shengjing, had been destroyed by the Ming army, and the morale of the army could no longer be maintained!
Especially those allied forces, like the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners, and the Korean Servant Army. They even included many slaves and Aha. They all began to flee in the same night... Bye bye you, we won't play with you!
So in this way, nearly half of the original Qing army of more than 30,000 was dispersed in an instant! All that is left are purebreds full of people, and then the number of people is only less than 20,000!
And even if this was not over yet, during Dorgon’s trial, when he led these people to escape back to Shengjing that day, Yang Shanlu sent 10,000 cavalry soldiers to Jinzhou in advance to help in the fight, and they chased and killed a good one... Anyway. People are going to send you back to your hometown! In this way, another four to five thousand people were wiped out in one fell swoop!
So in this way, the dog is full of calculations, the entire Qing Dynasty's capable soldiers, there are only 134,000 people left, and even if it is such a small number of people, half of them are old, weak, sick and disabled! They are all products of forced conscription!
So if you count it this way, all the elite soldiers in the Qing Dynasty that can fight together are only eight or nine thousand people (Shengjing also has two thousand Qing troops left behind), and they are no longer as powerful as Daming. The total soldiers of, they have gone from being a dominant overlord, and even having the strength to contend for the world, in one fell swoop, reduced to a second-rate force in a place! It is even a third-rate force! It's already an insignificant role.
(You can even make such a comparison. It's like the Taichi Ube, who was chased by them in the past, can now come up with 10,000 elite fighters. Even if the clan is mobilized, it would be a total of two to thirty thousand. Yes, so if you compare the two in this way, my dignified Qing Dynasty is not as good as a Mongolian tribe now!)
Then look back at our army. Although the losses in this battle of aid were not small, there are still 90,000 troops! If you add more than 10,000 Guan Ning troops in Jinzhou, that would be close to 110,000! Therefore, the balance of war has completely tilted to our side!
After Yang Shanlu's introduction, the generals' eyes were sharp! Even before the original plan, Zhang Dou, the next civil official, gave a speech. All the generals at the scene were already kneeling down, and they all asked for a fight! Directly request troops! Go to the hometown of Gou Danzi!
Even among them, even the former Liaodong General Soldier Zu Dashou, who was just punished, knelt down to ask for battle cheeky, and even shouted loudly: "The emperor, please give the minister a chance! So that the minister Personally lead the troops to chase down the slaves! And go and capture the rebels of the Weichen!"
Okay, now Zu Dashou dared to say this. In fact, when he learned that the dog Danzi was gone, he had already thought about it and wanted his son to come back... because there was no future on Danzi's side.
But the problem is, before Chongzhen's attitude towards him is clear, he dare not... What if Chongzhen thinks that they have surrendered to the enemy and betrayed, and they have all been chopped off with a single click. What should I do? There won’t be any place to call for grievances...
But now, since Chongzhen’s punishment on him has come down (including the punishment of his three sons surrendering to the enemy, which is counted on his head), Zu Dashou dared to say this, and he This kind of veteran military leader also knows that now it can be said to be the last opportunity for meritorious service... and the best opportunity!
When the Emperor Chongzhen saw him, he was so angry and funny... This kind of old military leader really is profit-oriented, and it doesn't matter whether he is embarrassed or not.
But watching this scene before him, the generals asked for a battle, and even Zu Dashou was eagerly roaring for the battle without disgrace. Chongzhen felt very excited again... This is what the military can use! This is the trouble of Dongnu who started to cause disaster in the hands of his old father Ming Shenzong, and it is about to be settled!
Under the recommendation, the chase app I am using recently, cache reading, offline reading!
But it didn't take long for Chongzhen to be happy, when Zhang Dou was out of work and fell to his knees.
As Zhang Dou, who prepares the way for the Liaodong army, this time he is also coordinating the money and food of the entire army, so although he knows that the military is available, the generals are eager to fight, but the problem is that after the protracted war, the money and food are not enough. …
Moreover, Zhang Dou was still very loyal, and he knew that he would offend Emperor Chongzhen after he said it, but he made a statement on the spot.
I only heard him say: "The emperor Rong, the money and food of our army is no longer enough to support another war! Since my army joined the aid, it has been fighting for nearly three months! It has consumed nearly a million shi! And now the army’s stock of food, There are only a few days left (as the army fought farther and farther, it became more and more difficult to transport grain, and the capital began to run out of grain)."
"And what we still need to see is that we want to hit Dongnu’s old nest, Shengjing, there are still nearly six hundred miles away! So with the extension of this grain transportation route, there are a full one to two thousand miles away. The grains and rice of China cannot be supported anymore!"
And this is also very obvious. After all, this is not the kind of mechanized food transportation of later generations. It depends on tens of thousands of people who use three-wheeled carts and two legs to transport them so hard!
And with the extension of the grain transportation route, the loss of this is showing a straight rise! (Although Zhang Dou and the others have never learned the relationship between quantitative and qualitative, but they also know that it is very uneconomical to transport grain for one to two thousand miles like this, because the road is too far away, and the grain that is transported is very uneconomical. It was eaten up by the husband on the road, so how can we talk about transporting food?)
"Is the issue of rations so urgent?" After Chongzhen heard this, he felt very disappointed. He had always focused on how many tarts had been eliminated before, so he really didn't pay attention to the issue of rations.
But now after hearing what Zhang Dou said, I felt very surprised, and even more unhappy! You must know that it is rare for him to make a personal conquest, and he is about to win a big victory, and he has finished his work, but now? Tell him that you can't fight anymore? The great opportunity that was rare in the past century, just let it slip away
So after thinking about it, Chongzhen asked many questions in one breath: "Are there any omissions in the money and grain statistics? The governors along the way may raise more food? Including the lack of support for the entire army, then half of the army will be deployed, and may it be supported?"
Unfortunately, these questions have also been answered negatively.
In this case, Emperor Chongzhen felt helpless... It seems that fighting is really a matter of spending money! It's like the three major Wanli expeditions in history. Although they have made great achievements, they have also spent the savings of the court. But now, is this kind of thing about to be his turn
Chongzhen was really unwilling, so he looked at Hong Chengchou, the superintendent in charge of the affairs of the whole army, but when Hong Chengchou saw him look over, he quietly lowered his head, obviously there was nothing to do.
Hey, Chongzhen sighed in his heart when he saw it, but he was really not reconciled... It would be impossible to tolerate such a good opportunity to miss!
In this case, Chongzhen placed his last hope on Yang Shanlu. He looked at Yang Shanlu eagerly and said, "Yang Qing, is there really no way?"
Even Chongzhen's gaze is very eager. After all, Yang Shanlu has always been a model of resourcefulness in his mind... Even in his memory, there has never been any difficulty that could stump him!
Just like in this battle for aid, Yang Shanlu can start planning a year ago and store a large amount of military rations in Dadingbao to help the army establish a victory in one fell swoop! So with this kind of wisdom, emperor Chongzhen also eagerly hopes that he can also come up with a good way under the current situation!
But facing the eager gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Shanlu could only smile wryly... Sovereign Heart Dao, do you think I am really a god reincarnated? Whatever you want? Honestly speaking, it is the result of my best efforts to be able to do what I am today! For example, the plan was started three years ago, including the food that will be cooked in Shanxi later, and all of it will be used as military food...
Otherwise, it can make you feel at ease until now? I'm afraid it's the same as in history, it ended in defeat...
(In the original history, under the command of Hong Chengchou, after the enlisted troops went out, they were able to fight well and quite well, but then it was because the court was unable to maintain the huge consumption of money and food, and it was not enough to smash the pot and sell the iron. Three orders urge Hong Chengchou to enter a decisive battle! This will cause the decisive battle to be launched at an unsuitable time, and ultimately lead to a big defeat!
But now? Of course, if Yang Shanlu has nothing to do with this, it is not always the case. For example, he prepared a foreshadowing a few years ago-Annan to transport grain, and now he is still transporting large quantities of grain at a rate of once every three months. Get in! The previous grain storage in Dadingbao was the result of Annan’s transportation of grain, including the accumulation of 10,000 shi.
But even so, it can’t keep up with the consumption of the army... It’s horrible to blame only the 100,000 mouths, plus the people who eat and chew on the horses...
(Even to say one more thing, in the past dynasties, why the fight against aliens outside the Great Wall is often only defeated, but not completely wiped out. It is because of this long-distance pursuit, especially after entering the Great Wall, it is too difficult to transport food...)
So when I saw Yang Shanlu shook his head and smiled bitterly at him, Emperor Chongzhen also knew... It seems that there is really no hope!
However, looking at the map of Liaodong, Jinzhou and Shengjing are not too far apart, how Chongzhen thinks, how can I feel stunned... How can dog Tarzi be so lucky? Seeing that as long as the last touch, you can completely eliminate Dongnu's confidant trouble! Including taking back Shengjing City, completely erasing the Qing Dynasty from the map! But now? Should we miss this great opportunity
The unwilling emperor Chongzhen began to rack his brains to think about it, trying to find other ways, but at this moment, suddenly a little eunuch rushed in, holding a copy of what he had just sent in his hand. Emergency official documents of the court.
(Originally, this kind of thing was handled by the great eunuch Wang Dehua, but now, this kind of eunuch can only be held concurrently for the time being).
This is a book about flying pigeons, that is, the way of contact between Emperor Chongzhen and the court after his imperial conquest, and because of this expedition, the court and the wild are all entrusted to Yang Shanlu’s father Yang Sichang, and then Yang Shanlu This old man is indeed very capable, so ordinary trivial matters can be decided after consultation with a few academicians, so there is no need to trouble Emperor Chongzhen.
So now, when Emperor Chongzhen saw an urgent document sent, his face became a little dignified, knowing that something important must have happened... Only after he took it and read it, his face instantly dimmed, even because of disappointment. , It's a rare long sigh-hey, something happened again in Chaozhong!
Ps bowed and thanked my old friend Shaoyanm for his reward! Moreover, at this difficult moment of creation, Baima will work harder and strive to write a better and cooler plot in return for such support! (End of this chapter)
