The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 295
Ma Xianglin said happily: "Sister, how did you get this binoculars? This thing is so good, I can see clearly whether passers-by a few miles away are smiling! Our army has such a sharp observation tool, it is even more powerful. ah!"

Seeing that her brother liked binoculars so much, Qin Yuyi also gave him the "Red Banner Army" standard binoculars assigned to her and numbered "Chongzhen Four Years Zero Zero Two".

Qin Yuyi said: "Brother, my sister's binoculars are numbered. You can keep them for yourself and don't lose them. If Jiannu gets them, the 'Red Banner Army' town governor will find my sister according to the number. accused."

Ma Xianglin took the binoculars from Qin Yuyi, looked carefully at it, nodded and said, "My brother-in-law is really good at running the army. It's not easy to find the responsible person even if the equipment is lost. Sister, it seems that it is not easy to give this equipment to your brother." All right!"

Seeing that her brother thought it was not good and did not refuse, Qin Yuyi smiled, and she said: "Brother, my husband will not mind knowing that my sister's binoculars was given to my brother, and he will approve another one for me. You like it." Just keep it and use it."

Ma Xianglin happily put the binoculars into his arms and said: "Well, brother will not be disrespectful."

Next, Qin Yuyi inquired about the construction of Dalinghe City and the reserves of grain, charcoal, and water sources in detail, and learned that the Ming army had 5000 people stationed there, and the defenders were well-known generals Zu Dashou, He Kegang, and Zhang Cunren in Liaodong. etc.

Seeing that Qin Yuyi paid so much attention to Dalinghe City, Ma Xianglin thought there was a reason for it, and asked, "Sister, my brother-in-law has always opposed the construction of Dalinghe City, and now it has been completed on schedule. Could it be that my brother-in-law thinks that the construction of slaves will not be guaranteed and will send troops in a few days?" Take the city?"

"Brother, my husband has said that the location of Dalinghe City has strategic significance. Jiannu will definitely not tolerate the existence of this city, and will attack it sooner or later. My husband deduces that Jiannu will send troops no later than September at the latest.

At that time, whether the Ming army was ready to rescue or not was an extremely troublesome problem. If there were fewer troops, it would be meat buns beating dogs. If there were too many troops, it might be impossible, because the court could not gather too many troops in a hurry. "

Ma Xianglin nodded and said: "To be able to encircle Dalinghe City, which has [-] elite soldiers stationed there, at least three times as many troops are needed to do it. When Da Ming sent reinforcements, it really couldn't be used as a refueling tactic."

"That's why my husband asked me to come here to find out about the situation with my brother. He told me to remind my brother that when we find out that Dalinghe City is surrounded, we must try our best to dissuade the Master Superintendent from continuing to make small-scale reinforcements. Doing so will let the Ming army die in vain. "

Ma Xianglin looked solemn, and he promised: "The safest tactic to clear the siege is to concentrate superior forces to attack one direction of the besieging enemy army. Only by cooperating with the defenders of Dalinghe City can it be effective. If the supervisor makes a foolish move at that time, I will definitely block it." .”

Qin Yuyi reminded Ma Xianglin: "Brother, my husband thinks that the people of Liao Town are not of one mind with us, you must not entrust the safety of the white soldiers on friendly troops like the people of Liao Town.

If it is a military mission that the white-armed soldiers cannot complete independently, my husband suggests that you do not wait for help in a city that can be defended. At that time, the "Red Banner Army" will come to the rescue even if they have run out of money. "

Ma Xianglin was very moved by Huang Han's statement, but he thought that Huang Han had an enmity with the Liaozhen people, so it was biased to conclude that the Guanning soldiers and horses headed by Zu Dashou could not be trusted, and he didn't take it to heart.

He said: "Originally, the white-armed soldiers and the 'Red Banner Army' had a heart-to-heart relationship and had a happy cooperation. Now that Huang Han is his brother again, of course the elder brother will not be polite to him. Mutual support is necessary."

Qin Yuyi took the female soldiers back to "Tiger's Cave" city early the next morning, and told Huang Han the information she had learned in detail that night.

Seeing her husband frowning tightly, Qin Yuyi asked: "My husband, if Jiannu sends troops to attack Dalinghe City, will the court send the 'Red Banner Army' to Liaodong for reinforcements? Will we fight side by side with my brother?"

Huang Han said: "Who knows? If the imperial court wants to mobilize the 'Red Banner Army' to Liaodong, I will not act at all. I will ask the emperor to give me autonomy in the meeting. The 'Red Banner Army' is good at surprise. It is very possible that the entire army will be wiped out in this pit in Linghe City."

"What if the imperial court insists on transferring?"

"Resolutely don't go. Sun Dushi insists that he and the people who support the city should resolve the war in Dalinghe City. Why should I, who has always opposed it, be surrounded and wiped out by the slaves?"

"Husband thinks that the Ming army will be surrounded and wiped out if they go to rescue Dalinghe City?"

"It's clear that Jiannu is a siege to fight for aid. Unless there are enough Ming troops dispatched, and their combat power is enough to fight against [-] to [-] Jiannu, then the slave chieftains will think that the prey is too big, and their traps are too small. Don't let go, retreat in the face of difficulties."

"This, this, what should I do? My husband, is there nothing you can do? Wouldn't it be very dangerous if my brother's men went away?"

"Let's go with the situation! Let's see when Jian Nu will act, and then see how Governor Sun will respond. It's useless to be anxious now."

At this time, Huang Han felt how insignificant he was, knowing the outcome of the Daling River battle, he was helpless.

Later, the Jin army experienced this battle and verified that the tactics of heavy siege were effective, and Jiannu strengthened his confidence in attacking the Daming city.

And because the Jin army stopped massacring the city after this battle, they began to persuade them to surrender at the beginning of the siege. When Zu Dashou was in a desperate situation, he still waited patiently and did his utmost benevolence. As a result, the whole city surrendered, which to a certain extent disintegrated the morale of the Ming army. , Restored the serious consequences caused by the Amin massacre.

In the Dalinghe Battle in history, more than [-] generals of the Ming army were captured, many of whom were high-ranking generals. For these surrendered generals, all officials were reinstated, reused and favored.This policy of preferential treatment of traitors has achieved good response.

Later, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, etc. chose to surrender to their old enemies, which was also the result of Hou Jin's change of policy and emphasis on recruiting surrender and accepting rebels.

With the hot weather in July, the emperor in the Forbidden City has been more troubled recently. The bandits from Shanshan and Shanxi pressed the gourds and picked them up. It seems that they will never be wiped out.

The people in Dongjiang Town were unstable, and Geng Zhongyu colluded with Jiannu to rebel. Fortunately, the "Red Banner Army" water battalion happened to catch the liaison officer sent by Jiannu during the navigation training.

It's a pity that Dongjiang Town, which was already unsustainable, suffered another scuffle, and Phi Island lost another 1000 troops.

Chongzhen looked at several censors, impeaching Jin Sheng, Huang Long, and Zhang Tao's lawless memorials during the incident, and felt that his head was like a fight.

The tone of the officials was very fierce. They explained that Huanglong and others led troops to surround and confiscate the homes of scholar-bureaucrats without obtaining the imperial decree of the emperor. As a result, dozens of people died in the Shen family in Laizhou, and the grain, gold and silver that should have been put into the treasury were destroyed. At least [-]% of the treasure has been embezzled.
