"Daheishan, Beisha City... Fuzhou River, Deliying City... Gaizhou, Dustpan Walled City..."
In the Kaicheng palace of the Qing emperor, Kangxi looked at a defense map of the Liaodong Peninsula in the south study room, and repeatedly recited the three place names of Bisha City, Deliying City, and Dustpan Walled City.
Although Kangxi withdrew the army originally deployed in Liaodong and transferred it to North Korea, it did not mean that he had no deployment in the Liaodong Peninsula.
In fact, Kangxi's deployment in the Liaodong Peninsula was very clever. He did not concentrate his troops to defend Lushunkou and Huangniwa... Those two areas cover a large area, especially the bay of Huangniwa is so large that it would be impossible to defend them without tens of thousands of troops. If you only guard one or two bastions, you won't be able to stop the Ming army from landing.
Therefore, after repeated research, Kangxi only deployed a small number of troops in important places on the Jinzhou Peninsula such as Lushunkou, Huangniwa, Jinzhou City, and Nanguanling. Their main task was to delay the opponent's actions when the Ming army made a large-scale landing, and at the same time lit the smoke on the beacon tower to alert Shengjing and Emperor Kangxi.
However, Kangxi would not let the Ming army march northward without any hindrance. His first nail was very skillfully driven into the Daheishan Mountain northeast of Nanguanling!
If you look at it from a map, Daheishan looks like a door god, squatting outside Nanguan Ridge and guarding the Jinzhou Peninsula. Even if the Ming army captured the entire Jinzhou Peninsula, as long as they could not capture the Dahei Mountains, they would not be able to boldly move northward - the western foothills of Dagui Mountain were only a few miles away from the coastline, and it would be difficult for the Ming army to bypass it.
Even if they reluctantly bypass the Daheishan Mountains and head north, the army's logistics line will always be under the blade of the Qing army in the Daheishan Mountains.
The difficulty of defending Daheishan is more than an order of magnitude lower than deploying defenses in Huangniwa Bay and Lushunkou!
No matter how well the fortress is built, it is still not as good as a mountain with dense vegetation!
There is also a mountain city called Bishacheng built in the Goguryeo era on Daheishan Mountain, which is an excellent place for garrisoning troops. . The city is built with stone walls following the mountains, stretching for about ten miles. It is magnificent and majestic. The canyons in the city are winding, and the surrounding cliffs outside the city are camped in. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.
And the climate in the Northeast is very cold now! Every winter, the Daheishan Mountains will be covered with heavy snow, making it very difficult for the army to enter and exit, and it is impossible to attack the city. During the snowmelt season in spring, it is difficult to travel due to the muddy mountain roads.
Basically, the Qing army guarding Bisha City only needed to survive the summer and autumn, and then they could hold it for a whole year.
In addition, Emperor Kangxi also mobilized a military commander composed of Sauron soldiers and Baerhu soldiers, and a military commander mainly composed of old Manchus from outside the Pass, to garrison Beisha City.
Among them, the Sauron soldiers and the Baerhu soldiers are very adapted to fighting in the forest and snow fields. The little snow in the Daheishan Mountains cannot stop them from going down the mountain to attack the Ming army.
And the new Eight Banners military commanders composed of old Manchurians outside the Pass received strict training in the use of muskets, sugar-powder sky mines, and artillery. They were also equipped with a large number of flintlocks, Weiyuan artillery, and sugar-powder sky mines, and went out into the mountains for field battles. Maybe it's not enough to watch, but it's still difficult to deal with them huddled in Beisha Mountain City.
Moreover, these old Manchu soldiers, Sauron soldiers, and Baerhu soldiers outside the pass are much more fierce and stubborn than the Eight Banners in Beijing. Their families and land are all here in Shengjing, so guarding Besha City is to guard the home!
The layout of the Qing army in Deliying City and Fenjizhai City was similar to that in Besha City. They were both composed of old Manchu, Sauron soldiers, and Baerhu soldiers outside the pass. There were not many defenders, so only one was placed in Deliying City. There are also two ginseng leaders in Dustpan Walled City.
Moreover, Deliying City and Dustpan Walled City were also mountain cities that were stuck on the Ming army's northward march.
Relying on these three mountain cities and less than 5,000 old Manchu soldiers, Sauron soldiers, and Baerhu soldiers, Kangxi was not particularly worried about how many Ming troops landed on the Jinzhou Peninsula... Of course, if Kangxi has been unable to mobilize reinforcements, so these three mountain cities will be captured by the Ming army sooner or later.
After talking about it for a long time, Kangxi finally breathed out with concern: "It's winter now, and the traitors can't attack Besha Mountain City at all. There are Beisha City, Deliying City, and Dustpan Walled City blocking them, and they can't even attack." The snow is heading north, so we can only spend the winter in Lushunkou... There will still be melting snow and mud after spring next year. If we really want to start fighting, it will be almost summer. Even if the rebels are really good at fighting, they can conquer Bisha City in the summer and Deliying City in the autumn. , I also have a dustpan village. If the rebels really want to break into the great plains around the Liaohe River, it will be the next year. Haha, tens of thousands of troops are dragging thousands of our people on the Liaodong Peninsula for two years. This Zhu Heji's military skills are nothing more than this."
"Your Majesty!"
Tu Hai, the minister of the Southern Study who had fought repeatedly in the north and became more and more stable in his official position, was standing behind Kangxi with his body bowed. Seeing that Kangxi had finished speaking, he immediately said "Sage".
In fact, he knew in his heart that there was no one who was not wise in this game in Liaodong. Kangxi used an abandoned Liaodong Peninsula, five thousand elite soldiers and three mountain cities to hold back tens of thousands of Ming troops for two years. Of course, he was wise.
But on the other hand, the Ming army used tens of thousands of troops to conquer the Liaodong Peninsula in two or even three years. Can you say that Zhu Heji was not a sage?
After the Ming army captured Liaodong, the Qing Dynasty had to fight the main force decisive battle with the Ming army on the Liaodong plain... If this main force decisive battle was failed, the Qing Dynasty would directly become the big gold, and it goes without saying that in the future .
Kangxi smiled faintly, a look of confidence appeared on his pockmarked face again, and the brows that had been frowning slightly relaxed.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed a big mistake for the rebels to place tens of thousands of elite troops in Liaodong." Shengjing General Bahai also stood behind Kangxi at this moment, "If these tens of thousands of troops are used in North Korea, our army may have to Abandoned the land and left.”
Kangxi nodded and said with a smile: "If these tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Dengzhou, Prince An's 100,000 troops would be badly injured if they collided with them! But the rebels sent them to Liaodong, and now not only Dengzhou The state is empty, and even Seoul is not real. God has blessed me with the Qing Dynasty!"
"This is the Emperor's great blessing!"
"Destiny is ultimately on my side, the Qing Dynasty!"
"After the emperor puts an end to this great chaos in the world, there will definitely be great peace in the world!"
Those who said these words were Suo'etu, Mingzhu and Tong Guogang.
Suo'etu was the uncle of the late Queen Xiaochengren and the uncle of Kangxi's crown prince Yinreng.
Mingzhu had always been Kangxi's confidant, and she was good-looking, well-spoken, talented and well-educated, and was trusted by Kangxi.
Tong Guogang was Kangxi's uncle and a confidant of Emperor Kangxi.
In addition, the family backgrounds of these three people are all very good. Needless to say, Suo'etu is the son of Suo Ni, the Minister of Gu Ming. His disciples and former officials are all over the Qing Dynasty. Mingzhu is the grandson of Nurhachi's arch-rival Jin Taiji and a direct descendant of Ye He. The Tong family behind Tong Guogang has a large number of people and talents.
These three people are now not only the ministers of Nanshufang, but also the ministers in charge of the Eight Banners New Army. They control the Zhenghuang, Xianghuang, and Zhengbai New Banners for Kangxi. At the same time, they also control Wanhu Gushan. They are all powerful slaves!
Kang Mazi looked back at the three of them, nodded and said: "You are right! As long as I can put an end to this chaos, great peace in the world will be around the corner. Because now the strength of our Eight Banners Army is far better than any in the past. At that time... As long as we can defeat the pseudo-Ming rebels, Burni and Rakshasa Kingdom in the northwest, Wu Yingxiong in the southwest, etc. are all a problem.
And to defeat False Ming, now is the best time! Now that the Ming army in Dengzhou has crossed the sea, Prince An's army will definitely be able to capture Dengzhou. And since the elite soldiers of the fake Ming Dynasty have gone to Liaodong, the soldiers on the North Korean side must be fake.
Therefore, I have made up my mind...Immediately send troops to Seoul to fight the traitors to the death in Seoul! The rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty will be carried out in the battles of Dengzhou and Hancheng. I hope that your ministers will encourage you to fight to the death! "
Tuhai, Bahai, Suo'etu, Mingzhu and Tong Guogang knelt down together and shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for you!"
