I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 183
Chapter 182

Although the Jiannu generals are very unwilling, the problem is that after seeing the defeated generals of their remnants and the fighting spirit of the Ming army, they also have to admit that Dajin can no longer afford a battle with thousands of casualties. The vicious battle of tens of thousands of people can only be withdrawn.

At this time, the Jiannu army changed its normal state, with abnormal grief and indignation, but retreated in an orderly manner. They now understand that if the chaos continues, it will only give the Ming army a chance to wipe it out. Desperately.

As Jurchens living in Liaodong, they often encounter wolves. When encountering wolves, the more they fear death, the faster they die. Only by showing determination that they are not afraid of death can they have a chance of survival.

In Dajin Kingdom, there are actually quite a few people who disagree with Huang Taiji, such as Mang Gurtai, Amin, and Abatai, including Dorgon who is obedient to Huang Taiji but secretly hopes that he will make a big somersault.

However, in this battle, Abatai was captured alive. Among the eight banners, the two blue banners, which were most disobedient to Huang Taiji, were almost wiped out. Although the two blue banners originally had 53 soldiers, there are still 600 Niu Lu, but only less than [-] people, can no longer cause trouble for Huang Taiji.

Chen Dayong's troops, who were chasing after them, encountered such a problem. Jiannu's retreat was a little chaotic at first, but gradually became orderly. Unexpectedly, 300 to [-] remnants launched a counterattack against Chen Dayong's troops, making Chen Dayong The department suffered a small loss, losing two or three hundred people.

"Cheng Shuai, are you still chasing him?"

Although Zu Dabi was high-spirited and triumphant, the war horse he stepped off was foaming. Obviously, people can grit their teeth and persevere, but the war horse can't.

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "What a waste of time, our shells are almost done, and people are exhausted enough. Although the number of Jiannu is small now, they are all their elites in battle. They belong to hard bones and are not easy to chew on." Already!"

In this battle, Cheng Shijie disabled Jiannu. Before and after Jiannu invested more than 12 troops, there are only 8 horses left, and the loss exceeds two-thirds, that is, nearly [-] horses were annihilated by Cheng Shijie, and the Mongolian cavalry surrendered. More than [-] people surrendered, Xibo flying cavalry surrendered more than [-] people, Sauron's heavy infantry surrendered more than [-] people, the Han army surrendered more than [-] people, and Jiannu only surrendered more than [-] people.

In addition to 4000 captives, Cheng Shijie actually recreated more than [-] slaves. The two blue flags were maimed, the two red flags and the bordered yellow flags were severely damaged, and even the two white flags, which suffered relatively minor losses, had [-] casualties.Abatai was captured, the two Baylors, Dege Lei and Mang Gurtai, were beheaded, fifteen Jiala Ezhen were killed in battle, and [-] Niulu Ezhen were killed in battle.

It's just that Cheng Shijie only beheaded more than [-] heads, and the other [-] to [-] heads were all smashed on the battlefield.

This is a major failure of Jiannu since Nurhachi's rise of troops. Cheng Shijie not only protected Haizhou, but also recovered the lost Guangningwei, Liaozhongwei, Liaozhong Zuotunwei and Liaoyang, the old capital of Jiannu, and expanded his territory. Arriving along the Taizi River and Liao River, Bingfeng is less than two hundred miles away from Shenyang.

2 horses surrendered to the Ming army. While Daikin lost nearly 8 horses, it also lost the precious intangible wealth of "Jurchens are not satisfied with [-] people, and they are invincible." The myth of their invincibility was completely shattered, so serious The consequences of this made every slave soldier feel heavy hearted, who else can laugh?

To put it bluntly, Jianu is similar to a pack of wolves. If the prey is weak, they will pounce on it ferociously and tear it into pieces, endlessly; Will retreat and dare not fight again.

For more than 30 years, this is the first time that the Ming army has made Jiannu retreat in a field battle. This "first time" made Jiannu unacceptable.

However, no matter how unacceptable it is, it has to be accepted, because this fact has already happened, and no one can change the result.

Huang Taiji turned his head, and in his field of vision, the Ming army's formation was as majestic as an immovable mountain, watching them retreat silently.

Cheng Shijie rode the war horse in Abatai. This is not a Liaodong horse. In all fairness, the Liaodong cavalry has left a deep impression on people in the past dynasties. In fact, the Liaodong horse is not an excellent horse breed. It is far inferior to the Mongolian horse in terms of endurance, and it is not as good as the Hequ horse and the Tianshan horse in terms of height and might.

Abatai’s riding horse is a Tianshan horse from Tianshan. The horse is six years old. Fan Yongdou bought it from a Kansai merchant for 2000 taels of silver by using his relationship, and transported it to Liaodong after thousands of miles of transportation. , sent to Huang Taiji, there are only [-] such war horses in total, including Daishan, Yuetuo, and Mangurtai.

Compared with ordinary Liaodong horses, Tianshan horses are one foot taller. Cheng Shijie, a white horse without a single hair, stands proudly in front of the battle.

Huang Taiji looked at Cheng Shijie who stood out from the crowd, and gritted his teeth: "Ben Khan will come back!"

This fiasco, a fiasco never seen since the uprising, made the whole country reward Dajin, and thousands of households wept.It is impossible for the Dajin Kingdom, which has been seriously injured, to launch a large-scale war for at least five years.

It made Huang Taiji realize that their sabers, bows and arrows were outdated.

The reason why Cheng Shijie didn't continue to pursue Huang Taiji was not simply because he wanted to release Huang Taiji, but because Huang Taiji and Jian Nu were now a wounded beast, and this beast was at its most dangerous time.

What's more, Cheng Shijie has time to buffer, and Ning Haijun can change to a more powerful artillery next time, and the rear-loaded rifled gun can hit farther and be more powerful.In addition to breech-loading rifled guns, Ning Haijun's gun bureau is still working hard to develop the fire dragon, an artifact of naval warfare.

This is actually the original version of the rocket launcher. According to the records of "Wu Bei Zhi", the production method of the fire dragon water is to use five feet of bamboo, remove the knots, and scrape it thin with an iron knife.Install a wooden faucet and dragon tail on the front and back.The mouth of the dragon head is upward, and there are several magical rockets in the belly of the dragon, which connect the medicine lines of the rockets together and lead out from a hole at the lower part of the dragon head.

Two large rocket launchers are installed under the dragon body and tilted backwards and forwards, and their medicine lines are always connected together, and the main medicine line of the dragon's belly is connected to the bottom of the two front rocket guns, " "Water War" can ignite a fire three or four feet away from the water, that is, fly two or three miles away from the water surface, just like a fire dragon coming out of the river.When the tube of medicine was about to run out, the rocket flew out of the abdomen, and both people and boats were destroyed.

Cheng Shijie liked the rockets of later generations very much, especially the scene of shooting like a meteor rocket. When he learned that the Gun Bureau was improving and developing this weapon, Cheng Shijie allocated 40 taels of special funds to the Gun Bureau to be responsible for the development The rocket launcher, also known as the internal name: "Fire Dragon One".

At the same time, the Gun Bureau is still developing rifled rifles, which are also rear-loading. Once a breakthrough is made in technology, Ning Haijun's guns will have a range of 300-[-] meters. , The main battle weapon of the Ning Navy is the firecracker with a thorn, and the squad level uses the thunderbolt as support firepower. After the success of the breech-loaded rifled cannon, the Frang machine, the tiger squatting cannon, and the flying thunder cannon can all be retired from active service.

At that time, even if Huang Taiji had 20 or [-] horses, Cheng Shijie could easily crush Jiannu to death.

It can be said that time is on Cheng Shijie's side, and as time goes by, it will become more and more difficult for Huang Taiji to survive.

Cheng Shijie is not idle now, but is busy cleaning the battlefield and starting to boost morale. Although Ning Haijun won this battle, the problem is that under the counterattack of more than [-] Jiannu, the Ming army still paid a lot of money. These casualties were mainly concentrated in the Dongjiang Army. Dongjiang Army Huanglong first invested more than [-] soldiers, and later, under the leadership of Shang Kexi and Mao Chengjun, more than [-] soldiers went into battle.

However, after these two battles were fought, more than 8000 Dongjiang troops were killed, more than 6000 were killed, and more than [-] were injured or injured. For the lightly wounded, we can barely make up [-] people.

The Guan Ning Army suffered the most casualties next. Zu Dashou of the Guan Ning Army invested 7000 cavalry before and after, with nearly half of the casualties, and there were more than [-] cavalry left.In other words, the Guanning Army suffered a total of more than [-] casualties in this battle.

As the main force, the Ning Navy was the army with the least casualties. After the two wars, there were more than 3 casualties. Together, the casualties of the entire army were nearly [-].

In the case of the absolute superiority of the artillery, there were more than [-] casualties. Although there were a large number of Dongjiang Army and Guanning Army, it can be seen that Jiannu's real strength is not weak.

Liaoyang City, these are the only two remaining cities that have not been destroyed by Jiannu. Of course, Guangning Acropolis collapsed too quickly because of Jiannu, and it was too late to destroy it. Liaoyang City is different from Liaozhong Weicheng. This is Chen Dayong's Taking advantage of Jiannu's slack, the Jiannu who guarded the city thought that the Ming army had not come to Liaoyang. In addition, Baiyintu's troops had just left, so they thought that Jiannu had come for reinforcements again.

When they discovered that more than [-] people from Chen Dayong's subordinates had rushed into the city, more than [-] old, weak, sick and disabled Jiannu were blocked in the barracks before they had time to resist.

Like the Guangning Acropolis, there are almost no civilians here, and they are all soldiers. That is to say, the Jiannu in Liaoyang have also been transferred, and there is not much food and grass left.

Purely in terms of the seizures on the battlefield, this time Cheng Shijie fought at a loss. The shells alone cost no less than 10 taels of silver, and with the consumption of an army of [-] to [-], thousands of taels of silver were needed every day. Ten thousand taels of silver, as well as the consumption on the way, was a lot of money.

The most important part is the pension for the fallen soldiers. This is the big head. Both the Dongjiang Army and the Guanning Army follow the Ning Navy’s pension standard. In addition to 57 million mu of land, as well as the treatment of wounded soldiers, this part of the money will also cost a lot.

Cheng Shijie looked at the corpses of soldiers, and his heart ached even more.

"You bastards, can't you cherish your own life? Do you know that your life is very precious!!"

Cheng Shijie gave an ordinary soldier who died in battle 20 taels of silver, a captain who died in battle, the pension was 30 taels of silver, the level of the sentinel was 40 taels of silver, the level of the hundred general was 50 taels of silver, the total level of the general was 80 taels, and the level of the general commander was 100 taels of silver. 200 taels.The commander-in-chief level is [-] taels of silver.

The Ning Navy is okay, not all command-level generals were killed, but the Dongjiang Army is different. Because the Dongjiang Army adopts the Ming system, their officers are very high-level. An officer who commands [-] soldiers is in the Ning Navy Army. In this, it is only possible to put the total level.

However, in the Dongjiang Army, this level is at least the guerrilla general, that is, the commander level of the Ning Navy. There are also eight generals including Zhang Dalong, Fan Sheng, Guo Kui, Fan Hualong, and Zhang Guosheng, and 21 guerrilla generals including Gao Yan, Tan Shun, and Huang Sizheng.

As for the Guanning Army, under Zu Dabi's command, 23rd-class generals including Zhang Xing, Lei Cunren, and Yang Tianci were killed, as well as 860 guerrilla generals including Dai Ming, Cui Shixie, and Wu Rujie. A total of [-] people were killed, and [-] nine horses were lost. match.

Under Wu Sangui's command, 160 soldiers were killed in battle, 740 were injured, including one general, two generals, nine guerrilla soldiers, and a loss of 86 horses.

According to Cheng Shijie's rules, the cavalry and heavy infantry were given a pension of 40 taels of silver, as well as supplementary war horses. More than [-] horses were needed just to accompany the Guanning Army.

In this battle, due to the fierce fighting, Cheng Shijie only captured more than [-] horses that were barely usable, and now he will lose more than half of them.

"It's good for you guys. You don't want to die when you start a war. Do you want to make me go bankrupt!!!"

As the saying goes, the ass determines the head, although Cheng Shijie lost money, the problem is that the soldiers of the Ming army were very happy, especially fair, crying and laughing at the same time, suddenly like a lunatic.

Huang Long's nephew, Huang Yulang, was also crying: "Uncle, you can rest in peace now, Jianu was beaten badly by us!"

A soldier from the Dongjiang Army knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Father, I have avenged you. I killed three Jian slaves..."

However, at this moment, the soldier of the Dongjiang Army did not make a sound, only to see that he was shot in the stomach with an arrow, and blood had already flowed all over his body.

Shang Kexi stared blankly at the more than [-] Dongjiang Army soldiers who survived.

"Second, what are you worried about?"

"What shall we do next?"

"after!"

Shang Keyi smiled and said: "With Cheng Shuai here, we don't have to worry that in the future, the imperial court will ignore us, and Cheng Shuai will definitely not!"

"Brother, don't be confused!"

"Why am I confused?"

"It's a big taboo for the chief soldier of one town to help another town!"

Shang Kexi frowned and said, "It's impossible for Cheng Shuai not to know this!"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said, "I know this, and I won't ignore it. How many people are there in the Dongjiang Army?"

Shang Keyi shook his head: "That should be all there is to it!"

Shang Kexi said: "We still have more than [-] people in Jeju Island!"

Cheng Shijie said: "As far as Jeju Island is concerned, 2 people will be temporarily paid the military salary, but remember, I will pay this money, and no one can do anything with my money!"

Shang Keyi smiled and said: "Cheng Shuai don't worry!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "This commander will write to the imperial court, requesting the revocation of the designation of the Dongjiang Army. If the imperial court agrees, the Dongjiang Army will be reorganized and merged into the Ning Navy. The infantry organization of the Ning Navy is different from that of the Dongjiang Army. There are two capitals, including the capital of Jeju and the capital of Pidao, each of which has more than [-] people under its jurisdiction."

In fact, it was a big taboo in the Ming Dynasty for the general soldiers of two towns to have personal relations, not to mention that the general soldiers of one town did their best to support the construction of the other town. In the early Ming Dynasty, they would definitely lose their heads.

However, the imperial envoy, Fu Zonglong, pretended not to see it. Maybe it was a good thing in his opinion. If Dongjiang Town could solve the problem of food with the help of Cheng Shijie, the court would save a lot of trouble.

Originally, Cheng Shijie had the right to command the Dongjiang Army.

After Cheng Shijie occupied Liaoyang, he never thought of giving up. After all, Liaoyang's geographical location is too important. Once in spring, autumn and summer, Liaoyang, which is guarding the Taizi River, can block Jiannu to the north of the Taizi River.

But the problem is that the site has increased by more than 300 kilometers, which means that Cheng Shijie now occupies almost half of Liaoning.

Relying on Cheng Shijie's three commanders of Ning Haijun alone, the strength is not enough.At the same time, the establishment of the Dusi level has to be retained.

However, Cheng Shijie is preparing for a new round of military expansion.

The source of troops and equipment are actually very easy to solve. His garrison capital is directly transferred. First, the fifth capital of the Ninghai Navy is established to upgrade the original Metuo Lake Shuangcheng Guards Management Committee to the Shuangcheng Capital. The commander of the city is the commander of the division.

The second is to command the commander of the former capital, with Liu Qingsong as the commander of the former capital commander, stationed in Liaoyang, and assisting Liao Zhongwei.The commander of the Zuoqian capital was established, and Shen Mingyu was also the commander of the commander of the Zuozhong capital to defend the Guangning Guard and wait for the opportunity to establish the Guangning line of defense.

Guangning Wei released two capitals, with a total of more than [-] soldiers and horses.

There is only one capital in Liaoyang. Of course, the commander of the right capital is stationed in Haizhou, and Changyu is also the right front capital.

In this way, the Ning Navy has jurisdiction over the front, left, left center, right, right center, guard capital, Jeju capital, Pidao capital, and Shuangcheng capital, cavalry capital, artillery capital, and a total of eleven capitals. Swell to 10 horses.

Of course, this is just Cheng Shijie's plan. There is still a long way to go for this plan to be truly completed, not only in equipment, but also in training. I am afraid that it will be six years in Chongzhen. This is not just a sentence, two sentences words can do.

In addition to the addition of the five infantry capitals of the front, left center, right center, and Jeju Island and Phi Island with a total of more than [-] troops, the garrison capital should also be increased. Although Jinzhou, Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Haizhou belong to the rear, A garrison bureau should also be set up. The purpose of the garrison bureau is to maintain local security.Guangning, Liaozhong, Liaoyang, and Baliwan on the front line also have to set up defense bureaus, at least one or two in each city.

The eleven capitals of the Ning Navy are field troops, not passive defense.

After Cheng Shijie's military expansion plan was written, he sent the plan to the General Staff and began to enrich and improve it.

Fu Zonglong was busy writing memorials to report his victory to the court.

Gao Qiqian is even more of a thief. He didn't even enter Liaoyang City, and immediately took his confidant, rode a fast horse, headed for Fuzhou with satisfaction, boarded a ship at Fuzhou Donggang, returned to Tianjin on a sea ship, and expressed to the court. Gong went.

In terms of competing for credit, Gao Qiqian is definitely not behind anyone.

Of course, when leaving Liaoyang, Gao Qiqian made it clear: "Cheng Shuai, we have the old rules, our family copied Wu Xiang's house, and got half of the family!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said, "It's just that Wu Xiang's family is probably not as good as Fan Yongdou!"

Gao Qiqian was a little disappointed: "How much money does Wu Xiang have?"

"He has a lot of money, but he probably doesn't have as much cash as Fan Yongdou. Fan Yongdou is a businessman, and he will keep a lot of silver in case of emergencies. Wu Xiang is the general soldier. The valuable things in his family are in the form of cattle, Most of them are war horses and armed equipment!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "Eunuch Gao, don't be disappointed, war horse, I'll exchange it for you, a good war horse is 20 taels of silver..."

Before Cheng Shijie finished speaking, Gao Qiqian smiled and said: "Then it will be ten taels of silver, the cattle will be counted as five taels of silver, and other property will be discounted by half!"

"terrific!"

"Our family will not let General Cheng suffer!"

Gao Qiqian bowed towards Cheng Shijie and said, "Our family is waiting for the son-in-law in the capital!"

"It's easy to say, the father-in-law has a smooth journey!"

After Gao Qi sneaked away, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale, and Wu Sangui found Cheng Shijie, and Wu Sangui was also very depressed at this time. In this battle, Wu's army suffered less than 3000 casualties, and 5000 troops lost more than half, nearly two-thirds.

But the results obtained are less than [-] levels, Zu Dabi is better, they have obtained more than [-] levels of beheading one after another, which can be said to be a great harvest.

The worst thing is that the Dongjiang Army Division has paid more than 2 casualties, and the beheading is less than one-third of that of the Ning Navy, barely in the early [-]s.

"Cheng Shuai!"

Zu Dabi smiled wryly and said, "I don't know, is what Cheng Shuai said before counting?"

The ancestor's army invested more than [-] troops, and lost more than half of them. This is a huge loss. If it was in the past, Zu Dabi would not have worried at all. The military pay that the imperial court wants is probably much less.

"A real man smears a nail in one gulp!"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief said that if they are asked to follow the pension standards of the Ninghai Navy, the commander-in-chief will strictly implement it. The distance between Guangningwei and Guangningwei is endless. , used to resettle the fallen soldiers of the Guanning Army. Each dead soldier and his family members can be divided into [-] mu of land, and if the related Ning Army soldiers beheaded and made slaves or captured, it can be converted into land!"

Cheng Shijie directly swipe on the map: "A total of 30 mu along the left bank of the Shazi River is Wujia Town, and the right bank is Zujia Town. I will be exempt from tax within five years, and tax for ten and a half years. How about it?"

"Cheng Shuai is magnificent!"
