The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 792 Surrounding and annihilating Duoduo
After Chongzhen returned to the imperial study room to vent his anger, he asked Wang Chengen, "Is I still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Is the territory that Huang Han meddled in considered the territory of the Ming Dynasty?"

How could Wang Chengen dare to answer such a difficult question? In fact, Wang Chengen's ability was limited, and he would not use his power well. When Jiashen was in trouble, he had nothing to do to accompany Chongzhen to hang himself, which is enough to explain the problem.

Wang Chengen has been in power for more than ten years, is it difficult to train hundreds or even dozens of confidantes?It is always better to save the emperor and escape by himself than to hang himself, and the opportunity should exist.

At that time, the city of Beijing was in such a mess that the bodies of Chongzhen and Wang Chengen were not found until three days later.

This is actually the result of Chongzhen's self-willedness. He believed that "the ministers misunderstood me" until his death, which was not only ridiculous, lamentable, but also sad.

Chongzhen held the imperial power for 17 years and was the highest decision-maker of Ming Dynasty. He was the first person responsible for the subjugation of the country. It is enough to show that he did not take responsibility before he died.

It's not that the Ming Dynasty had no capable ministers, but they were all short-lived. The problem was that Chongzhen was too self-righteous. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, there were only mediocre people left around him, and he couldn't even run away.

There are also many civilian and military generals who choose to die for their country, but it does not mean that these people are talented, it just proves that they have integrity.

Seeing Wang Chengen knelt down in fright, Chongzhen looked up to the sky and sighed: "All the ministers are people who follow the power, and the appointments of hundreds of officials are all proposed by Liao Guogong. Isn't it just a show?"

Wang Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty calm down, the general who conquered the captives has employed people properly, and there have been no mistakes so far. The courtiers did not reject his proposal because it was for the sake of the court. Forcing officials to go to the 'Han River Province' will make the court lose face instead of getting real vacancies. "

The circulation of "Red Flag Daily" soared, and the common people, officials, officials, and eunuchs all studied it, and Wang Chengen was no exception.

He could feel the vitality of the "Han River Province", and he was most surprised why under the rule of General Zhenglu, it was not overstaffing, but making full use of their talents, and he actually admired it in his heart.

Huang Han is far away from the court, and the emperor is beyond his reach!At this time, I can only comfort Chongzhen not to try to control the "Hanjiang Province" in vain, so as not to force the general who conquered the captives.

The reason why Chongzhen felt aggrieved was because he had no way to deal with it. He didn't know that he couldn't force Huang Han to turn his back on him. Compromise was the only way to go.

What he can't understand is why many officials can work hard and stop corruption when they go to "Hanjiang Province"?Why didn't there appear any signs of party unity and dissent in the Great Ming Dynasty Hall?

"Han River Province" Wen Tiren's autobiographical report expounded the deployment of Song Pengfei, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu on the Yalu River, revealing that if nothing happens, [-] Manchurian cavalrymen and [-] banner men under the puppet Qingyu Prince Duduo will be killed. Surround and annihilate them.

When Chongzhen hated Huang Han for intimidating the court, he was full of anticipation for the next battle, and he couldn't confide his contradictory feelings to others, which made him even more angry.

If the "Red Banner Army" followed up with a battle or captured Duduo, the prince of the puppet Manchu Qing, the imperial court would have to give Huang Han the necessary rewards, and the title of county king would have to be put on the agenda again.
Indeed, Wen Tiren, Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong, Yang Yipeng and other high-ranking Ming officials were all waiting for the Yalu River Front Army to deliver another good news.

They discussed it, and after beheading or capturing Doduo, they collectively wrote a letter requesting the imperial court to confer the general "Hanjiang County King" on the conquest.

As for the title of King of Liaoshen County proposed by General Zhenglu after he pacified Liaodong for five years, it was ignored by Wen Tiren and others, because at that time no one could have foreseen that General Zhenglu would take all of North Korea to expand its territory. , so that the Ming Dynasty had more "Hanjiang provinces".

The general Zhenglu fought for the country and expanded the land for three thousand miles, turning the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty into "two capitals and fourteen provinces".

How did Duoduo think that his head would be taken into consideration by the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, and it would become the ladder for Huang Han to be promoted to the king of Daming County.

He thought that his strength was not compromised, and he was not nervous at all, so he led 2 people and prepared to return to Liaodong.

The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry knew the strength of the "Red Banner Army" warships, so of course they would avoid the coast and choose to march up the Yalu River.

It was also the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th. More than [-] infantry soldiers from the Yalu River Front Army Yang Guoen, Huang Long, Gao Zhongyi, Zheng Xuewei, and Liu Sihai took the lead in fighting against the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry at a place called Pingguchuan.

Chen Qiyu, the second-ranked general praise painting, is the commander-in-chief of this battle, and he is not at ease.

He wasn't worried that there were omissions in his arrangement, nor was he worried that the "Red Banner Army" would not dare to fight and the expected effect would not be achieved, but he thought that he was a newcomer, and the "Red Banner Army" generals might look down on him.

Chen Qiyu wondered why he didn't feel this way when Daming commanded more troops, and there was always unspeakable pressure under the command of General Zhenglu.

Later, he finally realized the reason. It was because the "Red Banner Army" system was full of talents, and an ordinary young soldier who was drawn casually could write and count.

When the revised draft of the battle plan was handed over to General Zhenglu for approval, Chen Qiyu was named to command the Yalu River Front Army's first blocking battle. The preset battlefield was completely arranged by Chen Qiyu, with the assistance of other generals.

Was entrusted with a heavy responsibility hastily, Chen Qiyu dared not follow his orders, and immediately wrote a letter to resign, but unfortunately, the general Zhenglu only left a two-word approval of "hypocritical!"

Chen Qiyu felt ashamed when he saw the two-word comment, and the next day he stopped being "pretentious" and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the pre-war preparations.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Duduo's 2 troops finally entered the strike range. Chen Qiyu knew that the "Red Banner Army" paid attention to achieving the greatest results with the least casualties. He did not deploy infantry to charge, nor deliberately did not block the passage to the west. Dangerous to shoot and fire.

There are fortification groups on the mountains within tens of miles of Pingguchuan, all of which are equipped with Franji one-pounder guns. The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were surrounded by such an environment, and the state of being completely beaten made them frightened.

However, each of the fortification groups was not blocked. After the Qing army suffered a blow, there would be gaps that allowed them to escape.

Not falling into a dead end, not only thousands of "Red Banner Army" cavalry who would form a wall when they found the enemy's situation followed, but also an unknown number of infantry pushing wheelbarrows.

The Manchu and Mongolian cavalry who were ambushed didn't have the courage to turn back and fight. They suffered casualties and continued to flee to the northwest mountainous area in a hurry.

Such a result was expected by Chen Qiyu. He believed that the Kaesong Front Army, which ended the offensive and defensive war in Pyongyang, was engaged in the war to encircle and wipe out the Duoduo tribe. completed within days.
