"Your Majesty, the Third Front reported that the Tatars have assembled an army of 40,000 troops at Tieling Tunbao! It looks like they are going to have a big fight at Tieling Tunbao!"
When Lin Ning led the Eight Banners outside the Qing Dynasty Pass southward.
Zhu Daohua received the news just a few days after arriving in Port Arthur.
This news made the generals of the armies under Zhu Daohua's command so jealous that their eyes turned red with envy.
Forty thousand Tartars.
What a credit.
Why did he meet Peng Jun, a guy with a civil servant background?
No one has this luck.
Zhu Daohua was also a little surprised when he got the news.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ning actually led the army south.
Now Peng Zhuangyuan became prosperous.
This battle is over.
The position of governor of Liao belongs to him.
Zhu Daohua thought to himself.
Supporting the Hunan Party and the Guangdong Party to strike a balance is something Zhu Daohua has planned for a long time.
Peng Jun was a famous official in the Jiaqing Dynasty in history, and he even passed the imperial examination.
Those who can get into the top exam. ,
IQ and appearance are both good.
It’s not surprising that he can succeed in this life.
Moreover, Peng Jun's family background is quite good. The Peng family in Hengyang is a local wealthy family and is well-off in all aspects of Hunan.
If you help such a person to sit up, he can sit still.
You won’t be kicked off the stage without your butt getting warm.
So now that Peng Jun has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, Zhu Daohua is also very happy.
He stared at the map. The original plan of the staff was to advance the army to Liaoyang, forcing the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners outside the Pass to gather troops in Liaoyang.
After containing them in Liaoyang, the main force can go along Jinzhou and Ningyuan to attack Shanhaiguan and enter the customs.
It's better now.
It was just a Tieling fort, and before it even reached Haicheng, the Qing army moved south in a hurry.
It seems that this land of Manchuria is equivalent to the Takamaru of the Qing court.
You can break the defense with just a pinch.
Zhu Daohua thought for a while and then said: "The 17th Dragoon Brigade has been supplemented by the Third Front Army, and Peng Jun must pin the main force of the Eight Banners outside the Pass to the Haicheng line and not let them cross the Liaohe River! Of course, if he can control All the Outer Eight Banners were destroyed, and that was his fault!"
In fact, Zhu Daohua did not have much hope of completely annihilating the Eight Banners outside the Pass.
They are all cavalry. If you can't fight them, you can still run away. Even if Peng Jun adds a dragoon brigade, they can only bite and entangle them. If the Qing army is determined to run, it will be really difficult to catch the opponent. Main force.
Therefore, it was considered a success if the Qing government could contain the soldiers and horses of the three Eight Banners military offices outside the Pass.
Zhu Daohua's army can use Lushun as a springboard to plot Jinzhou and Ningyuan!
"Now the soldiers outside the pass are restrained around the Tieling fort. Jinzhou and Ningyuan are empty. Only local regiments and Xiangyong are stationed. If the Qing Dynasty wants to defend Jinzhou and Ningyuan, they must mobilize troops from within the pass. If they dare Come, our army will fight a big battle in Ning and Jin. The larger Ningjing will be the boundary. If they dare not come, then our army can occupy Ning and Jin Prefectures and use them as springboards to attack Shanhaiguan and break through the border. Then enter, from north to south, and attack the city of Beijing!"
Tao Biquan pointed at the map of Liaodong on the sand table and said.
"It sounds like our army must win and the Qing army must lose, but since ancient times, has anyone been willing to fight a battle that must be defeated?" Zhu Daohua frowned slightly, "How will Qianlong respond?"
"Your Majesty, the Tatar Emperor has only two paths, either give up Beijing or hold on to it."
"The only way out for the Qing Tartars is the Mobei Grassland."
Zhu Daohua looked at the map. From south to north were the Mongolian tribes in Monan, the Mongolian tribes in Mobei Khalkha, and Russia further north.
He smiled slightly and said: "If Qianlong sticks to Beijing, then the capital will be the end of the Qing Dynasty. If he wants to go far away from the grasslands, even if he chases Europe, he must eliminate all evil and pursue him to the end!!"
Tao Biquan was stunned and looked at each other with several senior staff officers.
Chase to the end?
Chase to Europa?
The emperor's ambition seems to be a little too big.
Europa is so far away.
Wouldn't it be nice to catch up to Kazakhstan?
But Zhu Daohua did it in the name of "revenge".
Confucianism also emphasizes revenge.
"Is it possible to take revenge in nine lifetimes? It can be done in a hundred lifetimes!"
This Qing Tartar entered the pass under the pretext of helping the Ming Dynasty to revenge, and later it can be said that it was extremely cruel to the Ming Dynasty clan.
Yongli has gone to Burma, but he still needs to be killed.
Just one Prince Zhu has implicated so many people.
Now Daming is back.
Can't you take revenge?
Even the most traditional Confucian scholars and officials cannot say anything wrong.
Our Emperor Zhu is definitely not here to expand the power of the empire, but to avenge his ancestors.
Tao Biquan probably knew what Zhu Daohua was thinking, but he didn't tell him.
He is also a member of the Hunan Party.
He is one of the strong contenders to become the next Prime Minister.
Just go after the Manchus and kill them.
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty is currently fighting several wars at the same time, and the wars have not ruined the finances. On the contrary, the country has become more prosperous as a result.
Therefore, he did not dwell on the matter of "hunting to Europa".
Instead, he stared at the map and said, "If you want to attack Ningyuan and Jinzhou, you need to first find an island along the coast to stock up on ordnance."
"It's better to send a brigade of troops to land on Huludao first. After taking control of Huludao, the army can then use Huludao as a springboard to attack Jinzhou!"
The momentum of the battlefield can affect the whole body with one move.
Because Lin Ning led the army south, the Ming army also gave up its plan to attack Liaoyang with its main force, and turned around directly to attack Jinzhou and Ningyuan.
This is the benefit of controlling the sea.
The coastline stretches for thousands of miles, and there are loopholes everywhere. Everywhere can be a battlefield.
In terms of mobility, gunboats roaming the sea are more mobile than all arms on land.
At this time, it was on the Tieling Tunbao battlefield.
The 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners who formed a phalanx and moved forward became the focus of everyone.
Ha Guoxing and his soldiers urged the soldiers under his command who were returning to the Eight Banners to move forward, and soon made the already somewhat scattered phalanx even more chaotic.
"Sir, what are those rows of thin things? Is there some trouble?"
asked a soldier under Ha Guoxing's command.
Ha Guoxing squinted his eyes and stared at the barbed wire fence in front of him.
The triangular wooden stakes are driven deeply into the ground. There is a "black thread" on the wooden stakes about one foot apart. The black thread is wrapped around some triangular nails, forming a line about one person's height.
It's so thin that it doesn't look very intimidating.
As long as the army arrives, it can break through with a random slash of swords and guns.
Thinking of this, Ha Guoxing sneered and said: "Ming Ni is too trusting. What's the use of just a trench? He urges the people below to walk faster. As long as he can survive a volley of guns, he can rush into the trench. Our mission Even if it’s done!”
If the Hui Eight Banners under Ha Guoxing could break into the trenches of the Ming army.
Then Lin Ning can order the cavalry to attack.
The cavalry trampled and charged the chaotic infantry formation. No matter how powerful the Ming army was, they would never be able to withstand it.
"Hurry up! Everyone gets a reward if they rush into the ditch!"
With the rise of Kazakhstan, the order to advance the army was issued.
The officers and soldiers leading the troops below also started shouting.
in the queue.
Ma Zhonghan, a Muslim from Heze, Shandong, and his eldest son Ma Xinmin each carried a long spear and walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The cotton-padded jacket on my body has been torn with several holes, and the cotton wool has almost leaked out.
Fortunately, it's not cold in Liaodong now, so these cotton-padded clothes with missing lint can fit nicely on my body.
Who said it was wind leaking from everywhere, but it was considered a protective covering.
"Dad, I'm afraid."
Ma Xinmin spoke with a Shandong accent and said tremblingly.
He is only thirteen years old this year, but he is already very tall - already reaching 1.7 meters.
This height is no longer the height of a child in Guangdong.
But in Shandong, where tall people are everywhere, they are common. However, the conscripts don't care about this. He is so tall. Who would believe that he is only thirteen years old?
So Heze Hui people Ma Zhonghan and his eldest son Ma Xinmin were recruited into the Eight Banners at the same time as father and son. Without any training, they were sent to guard the fort outside the pass without any training.
Now because of his commander's personal ambition to seek military exploits in the Liaodong battlefield, he was driven to charge into the Ming army's trenches.
Father and son are really unlucky.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Don't wander around when the fight starts."
Ma Zhonghan comforted.
"Dad, I'm hungry."
"I won't be hungry in a while. When we get down there, we can see your mother. The Lord of Hell is a god, fair and just. Our whole family has never done anything bad. We got a good place down here. Your mother is here." Our more than 100 acres of land will be returned down below. When we get down there, we will have food and drink, and we won’t have to suffer this." Ma Zhonghan said, with a burst of joy on his face, as if he was down there. The Lord of Hell was really fair and selfless and gave their family a good place to go.
"Dad, it seems that our family is not under the control of the Lord of Hell." Ma Xinmin reminded.
Ma Zhonghan was stunned.
yes.
The Hui people only have one steaming method.
Where else can I go to see the Lord of Hell?
Are you going to the legendary paradise where there are seventy-two virgins, flowing with milk and secrets?
Seventy-two virgins?
This is too outrageous. ,
Whose girl can withstand such abuse?
There are also milk and milk, and Shandong pancakes are delicious?
If you ask me, the prophet should have said that heaven would be filled with land, descendants, enough Shandong pancakes, and beef stew and mutton every now and then.
Just drinking milk and eating honey makes me tired just thinking about it.
It's hard to get tired of Seventy-Two Virgins.
But the kid’s mother definitely won’t let him.
And it’s also very difficult to raise.
I was in my hometown in Heze.
Ma Zhonghan's family has hundreds of acres of land.
But later, religious bandits broke out in Shandong. Although they were quickly suppressed, the Ma family's fields would never come back.
Later, he was incorporated into the Eight Banners, and his whole family was moved out of the customs.
Last winter, the child couldn't stand the severe cold outside the customs and left.
Now only the father and son are left, being forced to serve as cannon fodder to fill the trenches.
"Stop talking! Let's go!"
The officer who returned to the Eight Banners behind them said sharply.
Most of the officers at all levels who returned to the Eight Banners were from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. The Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia served as officers, and the Han people (Muslims) served as soldiers. This system can be regarded as taking root in the Qing army. Although it did not have much effect, at least it gained the majority of Manchu and Mongolian soldiers. Supported by the bannermen.
Now Qianlong's biggest base is the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia. Naturally, everything must depend on the bannermen of Manchuria and Mongolia.
Only in this way can the loyalty of the Qing army be guaranteed.
