The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Tianjin.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was actually called Tianjin Sanwei. Later, people used to call it Tianjin Wei. This name was followed to the Qing Dynasty.

Out of the desire to lead by example, Liu Sheng still did not live in a spacious and comfortable mansion in the city after coming to Tianjin, but lived in a military camp.

Inside the big tent.

Liu Shengzheng met with Zhang Fuzhen, the former governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhang Fuzhen meets His Majesty."

"No need to be polite, Mr. Zhang, please sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Like other Ming ministers who met Liu Sheng for the first time, Zhang Fuzhen did not expect to be given a seat by Liu Sheng. He felt quite flattered and carefully sat on only half of his buttocks.

Liu Sheng was sizing up Zhang Fuzhen.

He only knew this person's name through the information he collected from Xunfengwei. He had never heard of it in his previous life. In other words, Zhang Fuzhen was not well-known in the late Ming Dynasty.

However, Liu Sheng felt that his resume was not bad among the governors in the late Ming Dynasty.

He was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. He is fifty-nine years old this year and is a native of Gaomi, Shandong.

After becoming a Jinshi, he successively served as magistrate of Xingtang, Linying and Dongming counties, all of which had good governance. Later, he served as chief of the Ministry of War, Changping Military Preparation Road, governor of Yansui, and assisted Hong Chengchou in suppressing the Nongming Army in Shaanxi and Gansu. It can be said that he has rich military experience.

In the past few years, he has successively served as governor of Xuanda, Jiliao, Baoding and other places. He can be regarded as one of the few frontier officials that Chongzhen can rely on.

Historically, he was going to be impeached by the censor this year for being fatuous and incompetent, so he took the opportunity to sue his hometown. As a result, just over a month after returning to his hometown, he was invaded by Qing captives.

At that time, Abatai led the Qing army to plunder all the way to Shandong and conquered dozens of cities. Gaomi was also invaded by the Qing army. Zhang Fuzhen took his two sons and his tribe to defend the city for many days, and even went to the city to defend the city in person when the Qing army attacked the city. Later, although Gaomi City was defended, Zhang Fuzhen was unfortunately seriously injured during the battle to defend the city, and died of his injuries a month after the war.

During this time and space, although he had no commendable achievements during his tenure as governor of Xuanda, Jiliao and Baoding, he did not make any major mistakes - this was already rare in the late Ming Dynasty.

It should be noted that in the last years of Chongzhen, the Ming court was full of various problems. It was extremely difficult to do things, and mistakes would be made if you were not careful. In this case, being able to avoid making big mistakes is already considered a skill.

Liu Sheng saw that although Zhang Fuzhen had gray beard and hair, he was quite tall and strong, and he looked like a Shandong man of later generations, so he felt that this man could still work for him for more than ten years.

After retracting his gaze, he asked: "Before Mr. Zhang came to Tianjin, were the people of Baoding Qingyuan and other cities still in peace?"

Zhang Fuzhen pondered for a moment and said truthfully: "It can't be said to be stable, but it is much more stable than before when the Wei army went north. Most of the people in Hebei have a family feud with the Qing captives and are unwilling to surrender to the Qing captives unless they have to."

Liu Sheng said: "When we drive the Qing captives out of the pass, the people of Hebei should be able to feel at ease."

"Your Majesty said so."

Later, Liu Sheng asked Zhang Fuzhen about Hebei's military and political affairs to deepen his understanding of Hebei. After listening to the guard's report that Ma Jinshui had something urgent to ask for, Zhang Fuzhen was asked to retreat.

Ma Jinshui had been responsible for summarizing the Xunfengwei intelligence in the north, so he also went north with Liu Sheng this time.

After entering the big tent, he bowed and handed over a secret message, saying with a little anxiety: "Your Majesty, the Xunfeng Guards in Gu'an, Yongqing, Bazhou and other places have successively sent urgent information. There were at least 10,000 people passing through the border in large numbers, and each man was equipped with a horse.

If nothing else, these people are likely to go south from Baoding County and attack our army's transportation line along the Grand Canal! "

Liu Sheng took the secret report and read it. He couldn't help turning his head to look at the military map hanging in the big tent. A cold light flashed in his eyes and said: "The Qing captives are really unwilling to withdraw from the pass like this. They actually want to attack our army's food road. Could it be that they think we are against them?" Are you unprepared?"

After saying that, Liu Sheng turned around and said: "Quickly pass the order to Shen Wandeng and Yuan Shizhong's troops, so that they don't have to rush to Tianjin first, but go to Dacheng and Qingxian instead.

Wait for the Xunfeng Guard to receive detailed information about the Qinglu troops, and then choose a place to intercept them, forcing them to fight with our army or retreat! "The military orders issued by Liu Sheng were relatively flexible.

It is known that every Qing captive is equipped with a horse, and in winter, many rivers in the Haihe River system are mostly frozen, making it difficult for the Qing army to hinder them. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Wei army to ambush and completely annihilate the Qing army - after all, it is a fact that the Wei army currently lacks sufficient cavalry.

Therefore, he only asked Shen Wandeng and others to intercept the Qing army or force it to retreat.

What this matter relies on is the powerful military intelligence capabilities of the Yi army.

Long before Liu Sheng decided to embark on the Northern Expedition, Xunfengwei had deployed many spies in Beizhili.

As soon as the decision to launch the Northern Expedition came out, Xunfengwei immediately made more arrangements - now in the cities and even market towns of Shuntian Prefecture, even if there are no formal spies from Xunfengwei, they still have reliable informants.

This is why Liu Sheng dared to send most of his troops to capture the capital, but was not afraid of Qing raiders attacking the logistics and transportation lines.

Of course, it would be difficult for the Xunfeng Guards to notice if a small group of Qinglu cavalry, less than a thousand men, went south. But it is not that easy for the Qing captives, who number about a thousand people, to threaten the Yi army's logistics and transportation troops. They may even steal chickens but lose rice.

···

On the twelfth day of the twelfth month of the first year of the Qianyuan year of Dayei.

Shen Wandeng and Yuan Shizhong used the 17th Independent Brigade to lure the enemy between Dacheng and Jinghai, south of Deshengdian.

Azige was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, so he attacked with more than 15,000 Qing troops.

While the fierce battle was in full swing, Shen Wandeng led the 11th and 12th Brigades from the east and west directions to launch a pincer attack on the Qing army.

Because the Yi army was basically infantry, when he learned that the Yi army was coming to attack from the east and west directions, if Ajige decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops, he could still withdraw thousands of troops.

However, at that time, more than 10,000 Qing troops (remaining after casualties) were almost entangled with the 17th Brigade. Azig and Abatai both went into battle in person and fought with arrows.

Completely blinded.

Therefore, he did not order the withdrawal of troops immediately.

When the 11th and 12th brigades engaged them, there was no need for Azig to order a retreat.

Because at that time, the Qing army had been attacking the position of the 17th Independent Brigade for more than two quarters of an hour, resulting in heavy casualties and low morale. Seeing more than 20,000 Wei troops attacking, the cannons roared, and the whole army collapsed and fled in all directions!

In this battle, the Yi army killed Azige, the king of Dorowuying County of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, on the spot, and captured Beile Abatai of the Qing Dynasty!

According to post-war statistics, a total of more than 8,000 Mongolian cavalry, Eight Banners soldiers and other Qing troops were killed! More than 3,700 prisoners were taken!

The number of Qing troops who escaped was no more than 3,000... Later history called it the great victory over Dian!

When Liu Sheng received the news of victory, he had just led nearly two traveling troops from the Huben Guards to Wuqing.

Knowing that the more than 10,000 Qing captives captured were almost completely wiped out and could no longer threaten his own logistics and transportation lines, Liu Sheng couldn't help laughing happily on the spot, "Hahaha, Shen Wandeng and Yuan Shizhong fought well in this battle!"

After laughing, a glint flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes, and he said to Ma Jinshui, who was following him casually: "Let Xunfengwei release the news and say that I am leading less than 20,000 people in Wuqing. Let's see if Dorgon dares. Come and fight!"

He also said to the people in the secretariat: "Send the order to Shen Wandeng and Yuan Shizhong. After resting, they will immediately go north to the capital to collect the cities and encircle and suppress the Qing captives!

This time, even if Dorgon does not dare to come to Wuqing to take advantage of my bait, I will force the Qing prisoners who enter the Pass to flee in embarrassment, without the prestige they had when they entered the Pass! "

"As ordered!"

Later, Liu Sheng signaled the people below to release the news that the Yi army had once again defeated more than 10,000 Qing captives in Deshengdian. Soon there were bursts of warm cheers inside and outside Wuqing City——

"Great! Jiannu was defeated again!"

"Long live the Yijun!"

"Long live Damei!!" (End of this chapter)
