Yang Fan and Zhang Shize are both young. Yang Fan is only twenty years old this year, and Zhang Shize is only twenty-three years old. The two of them stood in this big tent, looking very awkward.
The generals below are all old men with gray beards and hair, and none of them is under the age of forty.
According to the Ming Dynasty's military system, there are four levels of generals: general, deputy general (deputy general), staff general, and guerrilla. No matter how young you are, you are not qualified to stand here.
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize stood in the middle, looking at these old men. These old men also looked at Yang Fan and Zhang Shize. The eyes are very playful.
Zhang Shize was obviously not happy. Among these old gangsters, except He Huchen, he was a disciple of his family. At the same time, because they had just suffered a defeat, they had even lost all their luggage. Cautiously huddled outside, the other three generals looked unruly.
Yang Fan glanced over one by one, and the first one saw Man Gui.
At this time, he was looking at the sky. Even in the tent, he couldn't see the sky and was staring at the ceiling.
Yang Fan knows this guy. He came up from the bottom by chopping off heads on the battlefield, so he was born in the army.
He is Mongolian. Belonging to the Mongols who defected to the Ming Dynasty. There are many such Mongolians in Jiubian.
The grassland has never been a place where fairness and justice are respected.
Because of his own internal bullshit, he forced a good talent to join the hostile camp. It’s not just Ming Dynasty’s patent.
In the Ming Dynasty's border army, there were many warriors who had committed crimes on the grasslands, offended the powerful, or were poor and unable to survive and defected to the Ming Dynasty.
Generally speaking, the people who voted for Monan Mongolia were relatively loyal, and many of them died fighting for the Ming Dynasty. The people in Eastern Mongolia were more cunning, and many of those who defected to the Ming army were co-opted and instigated by Jiannu to rebel.
Opening the city gates in the middle of the night and turning against the enemy in the face of battle are all routine operations.
Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, was a world-class expert in water conservancy at the time. When it comes to Infernal Affairs, he is far behind. He died trying to appease the Mongols.
Yang Fan's brows moved and he looked at Man Gui with a half-smile.
This birdman is not a good cake at first glance. He always made his superiors want to kill him.
He previously followed Yuan Chonghuan in Liaodong. During the great victory of Ningjin, the two had a falling out, and were later squeezed away by Yuan Chonghuan.
Mangui was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief and was also transferred to Shanxi Town.
The main reason why they fell out was that Ning Yuancheng was facing the attack of Huang Taiji's army, and they had differences on the two issues of blocking the gate and chasing the enemy.
In May 1627, Huang Taiji was determined to destroy the deep-rooted Daling River City before the Ming army completed the city's construction. He personally led more than 50,000 soldiers from Beile and the Eight Banners to conquer the Ming Dynasty.
Jierhalang, Azige, Dergelei, Hauge and others led the elite cavalry as the forward troops.
Huang Taiji, Daishan, Amin, and Manggurtai led the infantry brigade as the central army.
At the end are siege equipment, grain, fodder, and baggage troops. "The generals led the Mianjia army and soldiers, etc., and brought ladders, playing cards and other things as the rear team."
Dabeile Daishan, Erbeile Amin and others led the main soldiers of the three banners of Zhenghong, Xianghong and Xianglan to arrive at the gate of Jinzhou City and surrounded Jinzhou. Sanbeile Manggurtai led more than 10,000 soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner to break through Youtun Guards and seize a large amount of supplies and grain. Later, he also went to Jinzhou to join forces and join forces.
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved by
Mangui was assigned to lead 10,000 reinforcements to garrison outside the city. General Sun Zushou, deputy general Xu Dingguo camped at the west gate, and deputy general You Shiwei (the eldest brother of Ningxia general general You Shilu) camped at Erli in the east of the city.
In the early days, Mangui had no confidence in fighting Jiannu in the field, and had strong objections to letting him lead his 10,000 cavalry out of the city. He had several quarrels with Yuan Chonghuan. Later, Yuan Chonghuan decided to transfer the Che Ying and the six thousand Lumi gunmen out of the north gate as the main force to resist the Eight Banners, and let Man Gui, You Shiwei and others cooperate as surprise troops before giving up.
Nurhaci was shot here and later died of his injuries. As a result, the Eight Banners were afraid of Ning Yuan. But this time Huang Taiji sent troops and suffered heavy losses in Jinzhou. He was badly wounded by matchlocks and artillery. At this time, when we arrived in Ningyuan, our morale was extremely unstable.
Huang Taiji knew that if he didn't fight and dragged it on, his morale would be even lower. So he bit the bullet and launched an attack.
This time, the Eight Banners was different from the bloody battle of Hunhe River. The car camp encountered this time was not independent of the wilderness, but relied on Ningyuan City. The number of people was a full 6,000, twice the number of Qi's army back then.
And they are equipped with the most advanced Lumi guns in the Ming Dynasty. On the city wall behind them are two 24-caliber naval cannons, the Red Coat Cannon and the Luzon Bronze Cannon. It is what we often call ship's long gun. As a result, after the war started, heavy casualties were caused to the Eight Banners' heavy infantry.
The general style of play of the Eight Banners is that if the enemy is a firearms unit, they will usually set up antlers and horse-repelling gun formations. Used to delay and block cavalry. The arquebusiers would then fire in three bursts from behind.
At this time, the Eight Banners will dispatch heavy infantry to rush forward and remove the obstacles.
They usually wear triple armor and even push shield carts, which can basically withstand the Ming army's musket fire. Just move the obstacles out of the way. The cavalry will attack the musketeers and defeat the enemy.
This time, things have changed. The shield car was destroyed by the red cannon and the Luzon bronze cannon at the top of the city. The triple armor of the heavy infantry could not withstand the heavy arquebus Rumi gun with a large charge. This gun is extremely accurate. As a result, the attacking heavy infantry was defeated and was defeated for a while.
At this time, Mangui and others saw the advantage and led their troops to pursue them immediately. However, Yuan Chonghuan believed that the Eight Banners cavalry had not moved and could not pursue them. Strictly order Mangui and others to stop as soon as possible. He led his army back to the city.
As a result, Mangui disobeyed and beheaded the Eight Banner Level 200 in pursuit.
He was later forcibly recalled by Yuan Chonghuan. Then Yuan Chonghuan wanted to block the city gate. The two quarreled again.
In fact, Huang Taiji saw that Ningyuan was not easy to fight, so he had the idea of faking defeat to lure the Ming army out of the fire range of the city wall and annihilate it. Yuan Chonghuan is right to be cautious. It is true that the heavy infantry of the slave establishment was defeated and fled. But Huang Taiji's conspiracy is also true.
Mangui believed that the enemy was really defeated and advocated pursuing them. Yuan Chonghuan believed that there must be a conspiracy. Not only did he not allow Mangui to expand his victory, he also wanted to block the city gate with a stone. Completely cut off the possibility of attack. In hindsight, Yuan Chonghuan was right.
Historically, when the Hou Jin Dynasty invaded in the second year of Chongzhen (this year), Zunhua City was breached because the city gate was not blocked.
Be careful to make a thousand-year ship.
Later, it was completely correct for the large army to return to the city immediately after killing the Eight Banners.
In the subsequent stormy siege, these 20,000 people greatly enriched the defense force. If these 20,000 people were drawn into a field battle and were completely wiped out, in the subsequent siege battle, Ningyuan would not be able to be defended due to insufficient troops.
Shenyang and Liaoyang were both lost in this way back then. Naturally, Yuan Chonghuan could not let Man Gui have his way.
Man Gui believed that Yuan Chonghuan was suppressing him by not allowing him to perform meritorious service.
Later, when the credit was divided after the war, Zhao led the army to grab Man Gui's credit.
Yuan Chonghuan favored his direct descendant Zhao Lejiao, which once again aroused the conflict between the two. Mangui felt wronged, angry, and even insulted.
This is actually because he was disobedient, and Yuan Chonghuan deliberately took advantage of the opportunity to share the credit and deliberately dealt with him.
Mangui was dissatisfied and appealed to his superiors. Yuan Chonghuan is not a fool, so he naturally wants to fight back.
Both of them complained to the Ministry of War. For Yuan Chonghuan, he would lose his prestige in the military if he could not suppress Man Gui. With Yuan Manzi's character, if his superiors supported Man Gui, he would definitely give up his choice.
Emperor Tianqi
The emperor, Wei Zhongxian and the Ministry of War repeatedly weighed and concluded that Liaodong could not do without Yuan Chonghuan at this time. In the end, the matter ended with Mangui being transferred away.
Mangui was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town and left Liaodong. Yuan Chonghuan was basically satisfied with this, but Man Gui held a grudge.
So much so that when Yuan Chonghuan was arrested by Chongzhen in the second year of Chongzhen, he came forward to testify against Yuan Chonghuan's army. The red cannons did not hit Huang Taiji, but bombarded his army. The person who accused Yuan Chonghuan of collaborating with the enemy was a female agent who built slaves.
This incident is very funny. Yuan Chonghuan fought with Dorgon at Guangqumen. Mangui defended Desheng Gate. The cannon from Guangqumen can actually hit Deshengmen.
Chongzhen asked them to confront each other, which confused Yuan Chonghuan.
I guess at that time Yuandu Du was thinking that ten thousand grass and mud horses were galloping past. You two are blind, or your heart is dark. Such ridiculous things can be used as charges.
Chongzhen immediately dismissed Yuan Chonghuan from all his posts and imprisoned him, and asked Mangui to lead the army outside the city in his place.
As a result, Mangui was only brave, and the entire army was quickly wiped out.
After Guan Ningjun was imprisoned in Yuandudu, he abandoned Beijing and returned to Liaodong on his own.
This farce has finally come to an end.
Yang Fan looked at the unruly Man Gui and sneered in his heart, an idiot like you dare to show off in front of me. It seems that if I don’t deal with you, you don’t know who I am.
