The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 770 Double Scourge
Jierhalang and Azig arrived on the prairie as early as mid-April.

Instead of hurrying, they searched for the Mongolian tribe and ordered them to send troops to participate in the plunder of the Ming Dynasty, and emphasized that no matter how much the Mongols captured this time, it would belong to the Mongols themselves.

Forced by the power of slavery, the Tazi tribes encountered along the way did not dare to refuse to send troops. Dozens from one family, hundreds from another, and thousands from large tribes.

Jierhalang and Azig walked in circles on the prairie for more than three months and finally brought the number of Mongols who fought together to more than [-], including [-] troops from Ordos Borjijin Elinchen .

Er Linchen did not personally lead the troops to follow Jiannu into the customs, but appointed his younger brother Du Zhelei to lead the troops.

At this time, the Ordos Department did not expect that they had been worried about them by Hanzi, the first fierce general of the "Red Banner Army".

Huang Han learned that the situation had changed and decided to follow the original plan without any interference. He sent messengers to Shanxi to convey orders, asking Hanzi, Yang Danian and other generals to carry out the autumn offensive to eliminate and drive away the Mongols in Ordos as scheduled while strengthening their guards.

Emphasize that even if Shaanxi is overthrown, the "Red Banner Army" does not need to send a single soldier to support, to prevent being intercepted by the rogues, and it does not need to transport food thousands of miles to Shaanxi, and can take in a large number of refugees who escaped from Shaanxi.

At this time, Huang Han was glad that he promptly evacuated the "Red Banner Army" industry and a large number of staff from Shaanxi, otherwise he would be harmed by bandits and slaves this time.

It is hard to say whether the city of Xi'an can be defended, because the city of Xi'an in history was captured by Li Zicheng and established the short-lived "Dashun" Dynasty.

Obviously, Jiannu chose this time period to go to Shaanxi to do things, the purpose is to unite with the bandits.

In history, Jiannu did not join forces with the rogues, but cleverly used the rogues, and repeatedly sent troops into the customs at critical moments when the rogues were facing extinction.

Now Jiannu is fighting openly to kill Shaanxi, where there is little oil and water, and its purpose is obvious.

The key is, are the rogues willing to join forces with Jiannu?
Huang Han believed that the leaders of the rogue bandits had no sense of national identity and did not have Huayi defense in their hearts. They accepted the help of Jiannu and accepted the official positions given by Jiannu in all likelihood.

Another important point is that the rogues in Chongzhen 12 years ago did not form a climate, and they belonged to a mess, not the period of Li Chuangzei in Chongzhen 16 years ago.

At that time, the intruders had a political platform, killed Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan and He Yilong, annexed these two groups of bandits, and captured Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Xi'an. These three cities are the imperial capitals in history. .

The self-inflated Li ChuangZhou has an ideal, thinking that he, a scumbag with a wretched appearance, blind in one eye and unable to give birth to children, will become the founding emperor of the country.

Obviously, the Jiannu and Tartars must release good intentions and deliberately win over the rogues. The rogues who did bad things were beaten to hide in Tibet by the Hong Chengchou tribe with superior military strength. At this time, they will definitely seize the straw.

Hong Chengchou's life is miserable!The Battle of Songshan was impossible due to the fact that Huang Han was born, but he might face being attacked by the main forces of the rogue bandits and the Manchu-Mongolian coalition forces.

The Pyongyang defense line will be breached immediately, and at least 2000 million mu of cultivated land will be available by then, and a large number of immigrants will be necessary.

Huang Han didn't care whether Daming made things worse, and issued an order to evacuate Luoyang, Kaifeng and other cities within [-] miles to the south of the Yellow River. Kaifeng moved to Xiangyang.

Not long after the "Red Banner Army" withdrew from Shaanxi, not only the bandits became more and more violent, but Jiannu and Tartars also fought in.

At this time, they are playing a big retreat in Henan. It is estimated that [-]% of the local officials will be frightened. It is estimated that the number of ordinary people in the city who will actively follow the "Red Banner Army" to retreat will reach about [-]%.

Compared with Shaanxi, the cost of retreating from Henan is much less, because after arriving in Xiangyang, you can travel by water and get food supplements.

The autumn harvest is in sight. Due to the increased investment in water conservancy facilities, there have been no major disasters this year. It is expected that the harvest in Xiangyang and Nanyang will have at least [-]% in surplus after meeting the needs of the villagers and the garrison.

With self-produced grain, thousands of miles of grain transportation are saved, efficiency is greatly improved, and cost is dropped sharply.

Huang Han is beyond his reach, let's not worry about other things now, the most important thing is to break Pyongyang and capture Kong Youde alive.

In Shengjing, Hongjie has repeatedly rejected Duduo's request to change defenses, and has added [-] troops to him. It is known that the "Red Banner Army" is coming to attack the Pyongyang defense line, but there has been no movement from April to the end of July.

Seeing that Jierharang and Azig, who were on the expedition to Yansui Town, were about to start, Chongde's spirit relaxed a lot.

On August [-]th, a messenger sent by Jierhalang sent good news. Nearly [-] Manchu and Mongolian cavalrymen rushed into the side wall of Yansui Town with all their might The city was seized in large numbers.

Hongxie had just been happy for a long time before being spoiled by the bad news from Pyongyang. The respectful Wang Kong Youde made a secret report that Prince Yu had already withdrawn from the defense line for [-] miles on August [-]nd when he found out that the "Red Banner Army" was launching an offensive. Set up camp.

Now that Kong Youde is guarding the city of Pyongyang, he asked his master to order Prince Yu to launch [-] Manchu and Mongolian cavalry to attack the rear of the "Red Banner Army" when the "Red Banner Army" attacked the city.

Ask the master to send cavalry across the frozen Yalu River to rescue as soon as the Pyongyang defenders persist until November.

Kong Youde's memorials were sincere, and he did not immediately ask for reinforcements.

Rather, it is equivalent to expressing one's attitude to withstand the attack of the "Red Banner Army" for three months, and then asking the master to send cavalry to make a rescue.

He knew whether the red gangster had earned his reputation, and he was also a monarch on a horse. Of course, he knew the advantages of the Mongolian cavalry and the weather conditions they were most suitable for fighting.

Hong Jie is really shrewd. Seeing Kong Youde's report on Duoduo's deployment in Pyongyang, he immediately realized that the fifteenth brother was unwilling to fight to the death, and ran away when he saw the situation was not good.

After finally sending Duoduo to North Korea to fight with the "Red Banner Army", how can he run back easily?
Hong Jie sent his confidant Baya Lajia Lazhang Jingniu Hulu Chaohar to lead thirty Gebush Xianchaoha to the Duduo army to convey the imperial edict.

Bu Duoduo led the troops to retreat, and had to cruise outside Pyongyang looking for fighters to give the attacking "Red Banner Army" a hard blow and assist King Gongshun to defend Pyongyang City.

After ordering Chao Hal to convey the imperial edict, he will not return to Shengjing for the time being, but will fight with Xiangbaiqi.

The purpose is self-evident, if Duoduo escapes without authorization, Chaohar will read out the secret decree to arrest Prince Yu and take over the command of [-] Mongolian cavalry.
