Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 500 Battle Report and Aftermath Plan

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting said in the report: The Eight Banners slave chieftains killed in this battle included four slave chieftains with titles of princes, including Yuetuo, Prince Cheng of the Eight Banners, Jierhalang, Prince Zheng, Gerileng, Prince of Mongolia, and Geng Zhongming, King Huaishun of the Han Army Banner. There were two other Baylors who were killed, namely Azig and Abatai, and there were more than a dozen other important generals such as Merezhangjing and Jialazhangjing from the Eight Banners.

These are all confirmed by circumstantial evidence after the war, such as flag armor and so on.

The two princes Gongshun Wang Kong Youde and Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi were captured, as well as dozens of generals of the Eight Banners at all levels, and a large amount of food and supplies were seized.

The loss of the officers and soldiers is not small.

According to current statistics, the officers and troops of various ministries had a total of more than 1 casualties, among which the Guanning cavalry suffered the most losses. The [-] Guanning cavalry had a total casualty of more than [-] cavalry, mainly because they were counterattacked by the [-] elite cavalry of the Qing army. Casualties in the brutal confrontation.

After the Guanning cavalry charged for the first time, the broken Mongolian Eight Banners had no intention of fighting because they were timid in their hearts. Many tribal cavalry were already interested in leaving after hearing the news of the enemy, so they did not fight with the Guanning cavalry. Forcibly fighting, but after a little contact, they fled towards the east and west sides. Only a few thousand riders full of the Eight Banners fought with the Guanning Army, but they were defeated due to the large disparity in strength.

The Guanning cavalry, who had tasted the sweetness, were good at fighting with the wind, and continued to attack Huang Taiji's guards based on the principle of gaining power and not forgiving others, delusional to take the opportunity to gain more military merits.

But Huang Taiji's [-] guards are all the bravest fighters selected from each banner, and among them are hundreds of white armored soldiers, who are extremely loyal to their master.

In order to protect the master from escaping, the [-] cavalrymen who were separated out broke out with amazing fighting power. Everyone fought desperately with the Guanning cavalry, and finally inflicted great damage on the Guanning army. In the end, it was Cao Bianjiao and others. After Ren led the army to arrive, he launched a fatal blow from the flank, which killed the elite guards.

After this battle, the Guanning cavalry was seriously injured. Dozens of middle and senior generals were killed on the spot, including Zu Kuan, Zu Qianjun and other direct descendants of their ancestors.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting reported that after the division of troops to pursue the suppression, the main force of the government army was advancing towards Shengjing with all its strength, striving to break through the Eight Banners' lair as soon as possible and regain the entire territory of Liaodong.

"Good! Lu Qing and Sun Qing are doing well! This battle has achieved such a huge result, it really makes me very happy!

Since the decision of the Ministry of War last year to the present, the officers and armies of all ministries have united and cooperated with all sincerity, and the soldiers have fought the enemy bravely, so that Liaodong Tiaoliang will be destroyed soon!

It is advisable to use the remaining brave to chase the poor bandits, and not to be called the Overlord of Learning!
The officers and soldiers on the front line should take advantage of the victory to pursue and wipe out the remaining bandits!

Companion, send someone to discuss the affairs of the cabinet and the chief officials of the various ministries and temples in the capital Zhaoren Hall! "

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Wang Chengen immediately stepped down from the imperial steps, and went out of the palace gate to give orders. Several young eunuchs immediately left the palace to convey the holy metaphor.

After Yang Sichang saluted, he went to Zhaoren Hall to wait, while Zhu Youjian returned to the harem to wait for a while.

This time, Zhu Youjian plans to announce a series of aftermaths that he has been thinking about for a long time, and then the ministers will fill in the gaps.

He intends to deploy and implement his Liaodong plan and strategy from several aspects.

First of all, while ensuring the concentration of superior forces to conquer Shengjing, divide the troops to attack the entire territory of Liaodong. All the officers and troops must be equipped with an appropriate amount of cavalry as a mobile force to cope with the offensive launched by the infantry, and by the way, to respond to Liu Guoneng and Zhang Wenyao's troops on the east road.

The most important thing is to mobilize a large group of people to sweep northward to prevent the large remnants of Jianzhou from continuing to flee northward.

After the Taizu established the Ming Dynasty, he once set up the Nuer Gandu Division in the Northeast region of later generations, governing the entire Northeast region including Sakhalin Island and Heixiazi Island. Due to the huge disparity in output ratio and other reasons, Nuer Gandusi was gradually abandoned after decades.

Zhu Youjian had already considered a few days ago that under the current situation, Shengjing would not be able to hold out much time under the siege and attack of 10,000+ Ming troops.Based on the strategy of Huang Taiji, Dorgon and others, they would definitely choose to retreat before the Ming army arrived in Shengjing to preserve the continuation of the Jianzhou Jurchen, and continue to move to the northeast, which is today's Heilongjiang area. their only way out.

At present, there are many primitive tribes living in Heilongjiang, which is what the Eight Banners call the Jurchens. The production and lifestyle of these tribes are very backward, and they are basically still in the era of slash-and-burn farming. In fact, even if Jianzhou Jurchen migrated to the north on a large scale, in the future Whether it can survive in this extremely cold and harsh natural environment is also a problem.

However, the officers and soldiers had to go north to clear the land and return before the end of July under the premise of sufficient logistical support.

If you stay any longer, you will be in trouble if you encounter sudden heavy snowfall.

Hu Tian is flying snow in August.

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, even when the capital is still living in the end of summer, some areas in the northeast have already started to snow.

Secondly, in view of the fact that the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners cavalry had suffered heavy losses and were no longer able to pose a major threat to the official army, [-] cavalry were concentrated to sweep westward against the Mongolian tribes belonging to Jianzhou, such as the Han tribe and Horqin. At the same time, large-scale livestock such as horses and cattle were collected as much as possible and transported back to the territory of Daming, so that the people of Daming could use them to open up wasteland and expand fields.

The current Ming Dynasty has an extremely strong demand for large-scale livestock. A large number of cattle and horses are used to open up wasteland in various places, and the supply of large-scale livestock can only be purchased from the Mongolian tribes outside the side wall in the Xuanda area by Sihai Trading Company and other caravans. Because these tribes were too small and kept too few livestock, they could not meet the demand for horses and cattle in Daming.

War is not just a costly killing, but supplementing consumption through plunder is a common method used by victors.

Again, accept the surrender of all the troops in Jianzhou.

Zhu Youjian does not think that Jianzhou Jurchen, from top to bottom, from old to young, everyone is a generation of iron bones, brave and fearless. In the face of powerful force, survival is the most basic human nature feature.

This point can be seen from the fact that Nurhachi was willing to work as a servant in Li Chengliang's house, it is the wisest choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Seeing that the ship of the Qing Dynasty is about to sink, do all the people on board want to be martyred with them?
This is absolutely impossible.

Who do these frontier tribes believe in? Otherwise, why did those Mongolian tribes seek refuge in Jianzhou?

The current Ming Dynasty has very little awareness of family, country and nationality from top to bottom, let alone those uncivilized barbarians.

Whoever has big fists, hard knives, and iron pots of food, salt and tea, is the leader we support.

The Jianzhou Jurchens are also tribes that hold this idea.

Seeing that the general situation is over, many people in the Eight Banners will have other ideas. Zhu Youjian believes that surrender is very likely to happen, and surrender will greatly boost the morale of the officers and soldiers, and at the same time weaken the fighting will of the Jurchen hardliners .

Furthermore, Zhu Youjian specifically emphasized that during the conquest of the army, the casualties of civilians, especially the elderly, weak, women and children of all ethnic groups, should be minimized.After the capture of Shengjing, except for the important figures in Jianzhou who must be escorted to Beijing immediately, the rest of the captured Eight Banners population must be concentrated in the pass, and they will be properly resettled after the imperial court comes up with a strategy.

Those who were captured or surrendered were the best labor to repair the roads.

This is Zhu Youjian's arrangement for the current war, and the next step is the establishment of a new military and civilian system.
