The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 346

On the second night of Qin Yuyi's arrival, Jinzhou Daying held a military meeting of military attaches of the fourth rank and above presided over by Liu Zhilun. Civil servants attended.

At the meeting, Liu Zhilun first talked about the emperor’s encouragement and his expectations for the offensive and defensive battle of Jinzhou. Then he introduced the preparations of the Ming army in Dalinghe City. Liu Zhilun spoke humorously. All the civil servants and military generals heard that Liaozhen has not been captured so far. When it was reported to the imperial court, everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Zhilun and others had laughed enough and lowered their hands to signal for silence. He said earnestly and earnestly: "Liao Town is empty and Liao's salary has not been achieved. Ji Town and Dongjiang Town took the initiative to capture more than [-] real slaves to report the 'Victory of Fuzhou'. At this time, the Holy Son of Heaven There is already a calculation in my heart.

Next, our army breaks through Jinzhou and spreads the good news. I am afraid that the ratio of Ji Town and Dongjiang Town should be considered more in the future Liao pay, right? "

Due to Huang Han's good management and good at looting the post-Jin army, the "Red Banner Army" has never been short of money and food.

The generals of the "Red Banner Army" were fully paid, and they had no idea whether they could get a big cake from the Liao pay if they ate well and dressed well.

The people in Dongjiang Town are completely different. They have been terrified all these years. Originally, their military expenses should have been allocated from Liao’s salary. .

Yuan Chonghuan not only withheld Dongjiang Town's money and grain, but also required that the grain shipped from Denglai be rushed to Shanhaiguan for inspection before being transferred to Dongjiang Town.

Just this bastard order led to a serious waste of the already limited transport capacity, resulting in an increase of [-]% in loss, resulting in a loss of time of more than a month, and directly caused many people in Dongjiang Town to starve to death.

Later, Yuan Chonghuan, who dug his own grave, received retribution, but Dongjiang Town, which had lost Marshal Mao Wenlong, was hard to return. Due to the endless civil strife, it was even less valued by the court, and the proportion of Liao pay was decreasing year by year.

Now Liu Zhilun openly stated that if this battle is enough to prove that Jizhen and Dongjiang Town are more capable than Liaozhen, then they should get more Liao pay, not to mention the big ones, at least they should be equally divided with Liaozhen.

The deputy general of Dongjiang Town, Mao Chenglu, was so excited that he immediately got up and clasped his fists and said, "Master Liu, when you attack Jinzhou, I must lead the way. You want to show Dongjiang Town's son-in-law's aura, and let the court pay more of Liao's salary to Dongjiang Town."

Chen Shishi, Gao Chengyou, Mao Youshun and other Dongjiang town generals all stood up to express their views. They had the same meaning as Mao Chenglu, and they all asked the governor to watch their performance in the next battle.

After talking about the situation and hope, it was Song Pengfei's turn to talk about the pressing issues.

Song Pengfei introduced the effects of shelling in the past few days, and told everyone that Jiannu may have hidden dozens of cannons. The specific number and location are unknown, but it can be predicted when it will start.

It must have been when the Ming army gained an advantage in attacking the city and was about to be able to break in. The general was silent, and everyone was using their brains, trying to find a way to avoid the huge casualties caused by the sudden salvo of artillery fire.

Song Pengfei had been thinking hard for three or four days and couldn't come up with a good solution. He was a little uneasy.

At this time, not only Song Pengfei was feeling anxious, but Nu Yihong was even more restless. The corners of his mouth were already blistered, and it was obvious that the serious cheilitis was caused by the rush of fire.

The Ming army in southern Liao is too abominable. They were not satisfied with capturing Fuzhou and besieging Jinzhou. They went north to attack the hinterland of Dajin Kingdom, went down to Xiuyan Fort and Kuandian Fort, and approached Haotuala, the land of Longxing. Whether it is in the hands of the Dajin Army.

After receiving the urgent document, Hong couldn't bear it many times and wanted to order [-] elite cavalry to encircle the three or four thousand Ming army cavalry going north, but reason told him not to mess up his position.

The Ming army went north to kill with great fanfare, and its purpose was obvious. It should be in the right hands to bring the troops south. The Ming soldiers and horses can stop going north and retreat south. Pursue or not?
After chasing the fortification area that the Ming army has set up, even if there are [-] cavalry, they are not sure to break through the defense of the Ming army and enter Jinzhou.

The loss of [-] fine cavalry on the Dalinghe battlefield would directly affect the assault capability. The [-] to [-] Ming troops led by Zhang Chun could break through the encirclement of the Dajin army and break into Dalinghe City with just a flat push.

If the battle is fought like that, the autumn offensive of the Dajin Army will end in a disastrous defeat, and the loss will be too great.

Hong Xie once again encouraged himself to insist on Qingshan not to relax, so as not to be defeated by both ends of the battle, he still made up his mind to fight the big battle outside Dalinghe City.

The Ming army and Liao town troops to aid Liao had already assembled, because Huang Han had written a memorial in advance stating that one must be cautious in rescuing a city besieged by Jian slaves, and must not add troops one by one.

Sun Chengzong had known the content of Huang Han's memorabilia for a long time. Now that the situation of Daling River was misunderstood by Huang Han, Sun Chengzong was actually very annoyed. Instead of ordering Songshan and Jinzhou garrisons to rescue quickly as in history, he gave orders to stand by each other.

Therefore, the refueling tactics of dispatching thousands of troops to rescue Dalinghe City three times in history did not appear. Now these troops have joined forces with Zhang Chun's aid to Liao, and the total strength has reached In the early fifty thousand.

The war is imminent, and at this time, the high-ranking officials of Ming Dynasty in Liaodong are quite strange. Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, has not done anything in Shanhaiguan, and Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, stays in Jinzhou and refuses to leave. .

Sun Chengzong is a generation of outstanding people, a national hero with long-lasting integrity, everyone admires him!

However, he should take responsibility for the battle of Dalinghe City in history, because he is the supervisor, the grand master, and the governor of Liaodong, and he has a high reputation.

He is able to command the people of Liao Town who are arrogant and powerful. Even speculators like Zu Dashou obeyed Sun Chengzong's order to build Dalinghe City, which can be seen in the garrison of this most advanced city in Liaodong.

But the most popular is the imperial conquest, and when Dalinghe City is in danger, what is Sun Chengzong doing?The historical record is vague.It may be that those who write history books are secretive and don't want to accuse Sun Chengzong too much.

The Battle of Dalinghe finally ended with the annihilation of the entire reinforcement army, Zu Dashou eating up tens of thousands of civilian husbands, surrendering and building slaves.

In this battle, the Ming army lost a total of [-] to [-] elite frontier troops, [-] civilians, countless horses and armors, and several blunderbusses, guns, and cannons. The already unsustainable national strength suffered such a loss To make matters worse.

The battle of Dalinghe City proves that Sun Chengzong is not Hong's opponent at all, and the tactics of bunker and tower attack are wishful thinking and waste people's money.
