Desert Eagle Suletan Khan
Chapter 1089: Fighting against the surrendered generals of Tianjin
Bong
Tiancheng Yun
The emperor made a rule, saying: I have heard that the world is ruled by those with virtue. In the past, Xuechan Khan (Kublai Khan) was virtuous and established the Yuan Dynasty, which was the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. Later, Uhagatu Khan (Emperor Shundi of the Yuan Dynasty) lost his virtue, and heroes rose up in Huaixi and became the rulers of China, and passed it down to their descendants for more than 200 years. There was also a small Manchurian country that took advantage of the chaos of the Ming Dynasty to enter China. They were tyrannical and unjust, and now their fate has ended. The change of dynasties is determined by heaven. I rose in the west of the desert, with a group of lions, and with a compassionate heart, I crossed the Great Wall and entered the Central Plains. I had no intention of ruling the world, but I did it for the people to enjoy peace. This is called virtue!
Virtue is in the people, so the people are loyal to him. I heard that the pseudo-governor and deputy governor Niu Wancai and Hangzhou deputy general Chen Shikai surrendered the head of the pseudo-general Che Ke, which made me very happy. I hereby appoint Niu Wancai as the general of Tianjin Town and Chen Shikai as the general of Hangzhou Town, and grant them imperial edicts. The generals under my command were recommended by the two generals and reported to the Ministry of War for record. I approved them all. I ordered Niu Wancai to lead the two towns down the canal and go straight to Tianjin. The deputy general of Tianjin Navy Camp, Seter, was defeated in the previous battle and lost the prestige of our army. I wanted to behead him, but considering that he had made some minor contributions, I allowed him to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, and ordered him to be under the command of Niu Wancai, and lead the navy to Tianjin. The nine provinces are in turmoil, and it is the time for men to make meritorious contributions; the world is not settled, why should a man cherish his life? I am sitting in Dadu, quietly watching the battles of your troops. Respect!

In Tongzhou City, Niu Wancai, Chen Shikai, and Seter knelt down to receive the imperial edict. Niu Wancai and Chen Shikai were naturally happy about their promotion, and they were even happier that the Great Khan allowed them to recommend their subordinates for official positions, which was equivalent to allowing them to continue to have control over their subordinates. For these two surrendered generals who regarded the army as their lifeblood, this was a great favor, and they kept shouting in front of the imperial envoy that our emperor was wise. The imperial envoy only smiled and nodded, then smiled at Seter and said, "General Seter, did you understand the sentence in the Great Khan's edict that 'the nine states are in turmoil, it is the time for men to make meritorious deeds; the world is not yet settled, why should a man cherish his life?'"
"I understand what the imperial envoy said," After suffering a great defeat, Setel became much calmer and answered slowly.
"Well, I'm glad to understand. The Khan is waiting for good news from you generals in Dadu. So, I will take my leave now," the imperial envoy smiled and hugged the three generals one by one according to Mongolian tradition. After accepting Setel's blessing, he rode away on his horse.
As soon as the imperial envoy left, Niu Wancai, eager to make a contribution, bowed to Chen Shikai and Setel and said modestly: "The Khan has ordered me to lead the army to attack Tianjin. Please give me your guidance, generals."
"Brother Niu, just give the orders and I will obey them," Chen Shikai said politely.
"Yes, military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Since the Khan has appointed you as the commander-in-chief, you just need to give orders," Setel said in a rather stiff manner. Indeed, unlike the two surrendered generals, he was a pure Oirat Mongol and the cousin of the Empress, so he was naturally a little arrogant.
After Niu Wancai surrendered to the Wei Dynasty, he had already found out clearly that this man was a elder of the David Kingdom, the second son of the first-class Guangling Bertarhun, and was related to the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince. How could he dare to neglect him? He smiled and flattered him, "I am just a brave man. How could I have the strategy of a deputy general? Although the Khan has ordered me to be the commander-in-chief, I still have to rely on the deputy general for military affairs."
After hearing this, Setel's expression softened a lot, and he said calmly: "In my opinion, our army should advance both by land and sea, and the land and sea divisions must be closer to each other so that they can support each other."
"Great plan~" Niu Wancai and Chen Shikai both called it a great plan. Although they had more soldiers and horses than Setel, Setel had a stronger background, which made Setel the "main general".
Setel breathed a sigh of relief. After the previous defeat, his 3,000 naval troops were reduced to 1,600, and nearly half of his warships were lost. Although he had added 400 new soldiers and eight ships in Tongzhou, his combat power was not as good as before, so he needed to coordinate with the land troops. After the discussion, the 10,000 land troops of the Wei army marched along the river bank, responding to the 2,000 naval troops, like two long snakes, marching towards Tianjin.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
Another wave of attacks was repelled. Looking at the corpses on the ground below the city, Yang Jie's brows were furrowed into a "mountain" shape. He thought that there were not many defenders in Tianjin and they could be taken in one go. Unexpectedly, after four days of fierce fighting and more than a thousand casualties, they still could not conquer the city. If the Wei army caught up with them, what would they do?
Things in the world often go wrong when good things don't work, but go wrong when bad things do. The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Just as he was muttering, a confidant came to report, "Shao Bao, more than 10,000 guards are coming to attack Tianjin, and General Wu is intercepting them. Please request reinforcements." In order to defend against the pursuit of the guards, Yang Jie ordered the Left Governor and General of Raoping Town Wu Liuqi to lead 3,000 troops to camp 30 miles north of Zhigu to intercept them. He, Chang Jingong, General of the Left Route Navy of Fujian, and Du Hui, General of the Right Route Navy of Guangdong, led the army to attack the city day and night. Wu Liuqi was a fierce general who valued his reputation very much and would not ask for help easily. Now that he asked for help, the situation must be very critical. After calming down for a while, he asked, "Can you find out which guards are coming? How many troops are there?"
"Reporting to the Grand Protector, the two traitors Niu Wancai and Chen Shikai are here, with more than 10,000 soldiers."
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Yang Jie could not help but be furious. The two thieves Niu and Chen first fled from the battlefield, and then turned against the general and killed him. If it were not for them, how could our army end up like this? However, the two thieves only had 7,000 soldiers and horses, how come they have increased to more than 10,000 now? I think they have gathered the surrendered soldiers. Well, these two are notoriously cowardly and afraid of fighting, and their soldiers and horses are all surrendered soldiers, so they may not be willing to fight to the death. But we can fight a battle. Thinking of this, he calmly ordered: "Order General Du to lead 3,000 soldiers to monitor Tianjin, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow me to defeat the enemy."
When Yang Jie led his army to the north of Zhigu for 30 miles, Wu Liuqi's army was at a critical juncture. The main force of Raoping Town under his command had lost more than half in the previous battle. Although he later recruited some defeated troops from other units, his combat effectiveness was much worse than before. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Wu Liuqi was overjoyed and led his personal soldiers to rush out of the camp to support them. At this time, the Qing army had 11,000 land troops and 3,000 naval troops, but many of the so-called "land troops" were naval soldiers who disembarked and fought on foot.
"Form a battle array!" Yang Jie ordered calmly. Suddenly, his pupils dilated, and two large flags appeared in his eyes, one with a big "Niu" written on it, and the other with a big "Chen" written on it.
"Niu Wancai! Chen Shikai! I swear to eat your flesh and drink your blood!" Yang Shaobao gritted his teeth so hard that they crackled.
"Young Master, please let me charge and cut off Niu Wancai's head!" Wu Liuqi volunteered to fight. He hated Niu Wancai. That day, Niu Wancai was defeated as the vanguard of the Qing army. He led his troops to support him, but Niu Wancai saw that the situation was not good and fled for his life, resulting in the loss of more than half of his elite soldiers. Later, Niu Wancai not only fled in the decisive battle, but also rebelled against the Qing and killed Marshal Che Ke. How could he not avenge this!
"Okay! Brother Wu, lead the army to charge, and I will be your backup. Pass on my order, once the war drum sounds, you are allowed to advance but not retreat. Anyone who is afraid of the enemy in battle will be killed!" Yang Jie shouted. In his impression, Niu Wancai and Chen Shikai were average in combat power among the various units of the Qing army, far inferior to himself and Wu Liuqi. Once the war drum sounds, they will surely be captured easily. (End of this chapter)
