Win the Ding 1617

On May 1636th in the ninth year of Chongzhen (27), the freshly released Qing Emperor Huang Taiji sent Doro Wuying County King Azig and others to command the Eight Banners with [-] troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.On June [-], Azig soldiers entered Xifengkou and Dushikou in three routes.Wang Zhaokun, the imperial censor of the Ming Dynasty, refused to fight and was defeated and died.

At the beginning of July, the capital was under martial law.Chongzhen urgently ordered eunuch Li Guofu to guard Zijing Pass, Xu Jinzhong to guard Daoma Pass, Zhang Yuanheng to guard Longquan Pass, and Cui Liangyong to guard Gu Pass.A few days later, he ordered Duke Cheng Zhu Chunchen to inspect the border.On the [-]th, Qing soldiers entered Juyongguan in Yanqing, Gyeonggi Province. On the [-]th, Qing soldiers emerged from behind Tianshou Mountain and attacked Changping City.Duoyan Mongolian soldiers responded internally, the Qing soldiers fell into Changping, the Ming general Chao Pichang surrendered, the head of the household department Wang Gui and Zhao Yue, and the judges Wang Yuzuo and Hu Weihong were killed.

In July, Qing soldiers entered Gyeonggi, captured Changping, captured Liangxiang and besieged Shunyi one after another.In the Ming Dynasty, Shangguan Jin, the magistrate of Shunyi County, and guerrilla rulers, both commanded Su Shiyu and others to resist the city and stick to it.The city fell, and the state equipment, Shi Yu, etc. all died.Taking advantage of the momentum, the Qing army captured Baodi, Dingxing, Ansu, Dacheng, Xiongxian, Anzhou and other Jinzhou counties.

The area around Gyeonggi is corrupted for a while!

Chongzhen issued an edict to summon Lu Xiangsheng to lead the army into the Wei capital, and then bestowed Shang Fangjian.Lu Xiangsheng led his army north to help!

Hexiwu Town, Wuqing County, is located on the edge of the North Canal excavated by Guo Shoujing in the Yuan Dynasty. Due to its unique location advantages, Hexiwu became a fortress in Gyeonggi.There are many shops in the village, and the prosperity is abnormal.

However, with the invasion of Jiannu Eight Banners, this place has become a hell on earth.

"Snapped!"

A clear long whip sounded, and several Jiannu cavalry rode their horses past the Daliu Village in Hexiwu. The horseshoes were stained with blood of unknown origin. [

From the red cotton armor inlaid with copper nails on their bodies, we can know that these slave cavalrymen belong to the Zhenghong banner.A lightning rod was raised high on the leather helmet, and one of them had a two-foot-square flag on his back, and a long gun in his hand.The leader is a knight in silver light armor with a long tail and red tassels on the iron helmet.A colored flag was planted obliquely on the back, and even the horse was covered with cotton armor, holding a four-foot long knife in his hand.

The few people in the room were wowing and didn't know what they were talking about in Jurchen.

In front of their horses, dozens of Ming people were running around in panic.This group of villagers consisted of men and women, old and young, and everyone cried out in panic, with a look of despair on their faces.At this moment, in the eyes of this group of slave cavalry, they are the mice under the fat cat's claws.Just right for their brutal entertainment.

Several villagers rushed forward along the street. Suddenly, a crossroad appeared in front of them. They were about to turn a corner and flee into the alley to escape.The arrow was so powerful that it pinned him to the ground.

The cavalryman with the flag on his back put away his bow and arrows, and said something to his accomplices with a proud grin, which made everyone not laugh.

His interest remained undiminished, and he pinched the horse with his legs, and the horse rushed forward with the wind.

He stabbed straight with his gun all the way, and within dozens of steps, he stabbed three people to death.He rushed to the front of the group of villagers and circled back to the horse, facing another stampede in the crowd.This time, his target was no longer the adult villagers, but a baby in the swaddling arms of a mother.

One shot pierced the mother and the baby together!With both hands, the mother's body was thrown out, leaving only the baby's swaddle on the gun point.The baby was still breathing, crying and moaning unceasingly on the tip of the gun.

Cries and screams.It caused the cavalry to laugh wildly.

Maybe this group of guys are happy enough, and feel that the oil and water of the villagers in front of them have been drained, and there is no need to take them away as slaves.The leading cavalry yelled a few words, and the crowd began to slash and kill among the crowd on horseback.

The streets were full of corpses, and the butchers licked their scarlet lips, led their horses, and carried large and small bags of looted property.walk away.

Such a scene is happening to varying degrees in the villages around Hexiwu Town.

"The Tartars are so ruthless!"

"Stop talking nonsense, look at the jaws of those corpses, cut them off and bring them up to repay the credit!"

More than a hundred Ming soldiers in fat jackets were defeated.I don't know which unit he belongs to. Under the leadership of a general, he broke into Caozhuang Village, which had just been massacred by Jiannu. [

The broken soldiers searched carefully in the burning village, trying to find the property and food that the slave cavalry could not find or take away in time.In the courtyard, dead bodies lying on the ground can be seen from time to time. The corpses of several women are naked and distorted. It is obvious that they have suffered a lot before dying. There is even a corpse nailed by a large iron nail. Stop hands and feet.It was nailed to the door panel alive.

The broken soldiers searched carefully in various courtyards. From time to time, there were sounds of broken household items being overturned and smashed, and occasionally there were a few muffled sounds, which were the heads of villagers' corpses chopped off with knives and axes. Prepare to tidy up and report to the official for use.

"My lord! My lord!"

A general hurriedly ran from outside the village to report to President Qian who was resting in a house.

"There is a group of cavalry coming from outside the village!"

This sentence shocked the hundred or so people to flee outside the village immediately, lying behind the embankment by the river, watching the group of cavalrymen coming from the opposite side through a branch of the canal.

The one who came was still Jiannu, but he was wearing pure white armor, and he was the army horse under Jiannu Zhengbai's banner.

The leading officer immediately saw the group of rout soldiers on the other side, and didn't bother to pay attention to them, and just ordered them to get off their horses and rest.

Seeing that the Zhengbai Banner Jiannu on the opposite side had no intention of crossing the river to pursue them, this group of Ming army soldiers stood up from the wet and cold mud and looked towards the opposite side as if the emperor had granted him an amnesty.

This small river is not wide, only about forty or fifty paces. From this distance, you can see clearly. The Tartars on the opposite side are all thick and strong, not to mention their faces glowing with oil. The inside is inlaid with iron leaves, each man's cotton armor is nailed with thick copper nails, and on the chest of the general is a shiny mirror.Except for the tall iron helmet and red tassels, the pure white cotton armor is neat and brand new.The leading officer also wore a breastplate that seemed to be made of pure steel, shining in the sun.

Behind the queue, there were more than a hundred fat war horses. There were bursts of laughter and low weeping from behind the war horses. It seemed that the looted people were crying there.

This group of defeated soldiers of the Ming army were mostly battalion bastards and soldiers from various battalions. Their fighting skills may not be very strong, but their verbal skills are not weak.Seeing the enemy on the opposite side has no meaning of crossing the river.Moreover, he was much richer than his side, so he began to curse dirtyly, saying that he was not a Japanese father and mother.

The white flag officer on the opposite side heard this, waved his hand to stop the cheers and drinks of his subordinates, and ordered an officer to come.

"Wu Na Ming country sergeant listened!"

The Tongshi yelled at the soldiers of the Ming army with a Liaodong military accent: "Look who this is!"

The soldiers with the white flags got out of formation, and a group of women were driven from behind by the whipping ropes of the guard soldiers, or they were dressed in tattered satin dresses.Or the muslin trousers and coats that were torn out of shape. They were mostly women from good families, including girls and wives.

"This is the woman captured by our Qing soldiers near Beijing. Among them are your sisters and your younger sisters. Or your mother! It's too late for our Qing soldiers! You guys If you don’t accept it, just come and fight!”

The officer translated the words of the leading officer sentence by sentence. After the officer finished speaking, he pulled a woman beside him over, ripped off her dress, and took off the armor on her body.So he raped the girl wantonly on the river embankment.

Behind them, the group of cavalry also followed suit by snatching a woman each, and prostitution on the embankment during the day. In an instant, the cries of the women on the embankment and the triumphant laughter of the slave soldiers intertwined.

Seeing such a scene, the defeated soldiers of the Ming army did not dare to move.It's just that the adam's apple wriggles up and down from time to time, and swallows saliva.

After a while, the leading Jiannu officer stood up from the ground, and the Ahafu soldiers behind him helped him put on the armor. He yelled to the left and right, and the group of Jiannu officers who were holding the white flag uttered a strange cry, and put on their armor. Get on the horse and rush down the river loop.Go straight to the embankment here and rush over.

When the soldiers of the Ming army saw the enemy rushing towards them, they immediately shouted and ran away under the leadership of Mr. Qian.

Fortunately, the purpose of this group of Zhengbaiqi soldiers was just to make fun of these defeated soldiers, seeing that the troops in the headquarters had not yet crossed the river.They were so frightened that they threw away their helmets and armor and walked away. There was a burst of wild laughter by the river, and then they dismounted and ordered the accompanying Ahafu soldiers to lead their horses to drink water and eat some green grass.

The group of Ming soldiers heard that there were no pursuers coming from behind, but they didn't dare to turn back, and ran straight for several miles, and then they were shocked for a while.

That Qianhu threw the sword in his hand to the accompanying soldiers, and ordered them to take off his cotton armor and spread it on the ground. He lay on the ground panting heavily, blinking his eyes, thinking about his own thoughts.

Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration from the ground, as if a team of horses was running towards this side!Immediately a carp jumped up, "Put on armor! Put on armor for me!"

From the east, a scattered formation of more than a dozen war horses rushed here.

The horseshoes skimmed over the dry and hard official road, raising a puff of fine smoke, which was blown away by the wind.The knights on horseback are all equipped with helmets and armors. There are long spears hanging on the raptor-style rings on their crotches, and long knives hanging on the other side.The red helmet fringe and the red fat jacket are very dazzling against the shiny armor.The cloak on the back was blown by the wind as the horse ran, and someone behind the leader held a flag of recognition.

"Nanzhong Army? I don't know which adult's servant!"

That Qianhu's eyes were quite sharp, and when he saw the Chinese characters on the recognition flag, he immediately put his heart into his stomach, thinking that they were also recruited by the emperor from all over the place to join the guard.He lazily took off the half-clothed padded jacket and continued to rest in the shade of a tree.

Within a few breaths, another wave of cavalry appeared behind the knights, and then, on both sides of the road to the east, along the North Canal, dots of red, the same flags and cloaks appeared.

A few miles away, there was even more smoke and dust, presumably there was a large group of people rushing here.

While speaking, the cavalry scouts who appeared first had already arrived in front of the rout of the Ming army.

Mr. Qian looked at the riders in front of him, and saw that they were generally short in stature, but they were all strong. Their foreheads, noses and cheeks were glowing red, which seemed to be full of oil and water on weekdays.The warhorses behind them are even taller, stronger and more shiny, and the daily feeding is also very meticulous. They didn't embezzle the horses and resell them like the general Ming army.

"Which general's servant are you?"

Mr. Qian saw that the leading cavalrymen couldn't stop looking at him, so he took the lead in asking questions in an official tone. The cavalrymen he saw were all equipped with armor, swords and guns. Although their styles and appearances were strange, the armor on their bodies was also weird.I saw that the armor on these dozen or so cavalry was somewhat similar to that of those who did not accept it at night.What they wear is not the traditional eight-petal iron helmet of the Ming army, but a hemispherical iron hat.The body is neither the armor of the Ming army, nor the mandarin duck jacket, but the clothes similar to the mandarin mandarin jacket, and there is a breastplate on the front of the upper body.The breastplate seemed to be made of a whole piece of steel, no iron leaves were seen.

"We? We are under the command of the general of the South China Army, and we came to the capital to enter the guard!"

The leading cavalry raised its chest proudly.Jumped off the horse.

That's right!This is the army of the South China Army!

Lin Wenbing found out from Shanxi merchants the day when Azige was ordered to join the bandits, so he ordered the clippers to send the news to Nanzhong Hue one stop at a time.When Azig led the Eight Banners soldiers claiming that 10 people entered Xifengkou, Li Shouhan of Hue received this document and ordered the troops to board the ship and go to Tianjin.

The fast sailing at sea for more than ten days made the guards miserable. Fortunately, along the way, generals stationed in various places sent ships to send fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish the fleet.This allowed the soldiers to have no health problems.

After landing in Tanggu, he met with Lin Wenbing. This shopkeeper Lin who was stationed in the capital and now became a hot figure in the business field, admired Shouhan to an unprecedented height.

"My lord, according to your instructions, more than ten sets of maps of various parts of the capital have been drawn. Do you want to hand them over to the battalion officers?"

"Leave it to Commander Wang Bao!"

Under the guidance of Lin Wenbing's meticulously drawn map and guide, more than [-] people defending Han came to the capital along the line of Baihekou, Beitang, Ziya River, and Beiyun River.

But I didn't want to bump into this scene here today.

"Nanzhong Army, I've never heard of it!" Qianhu pursed his lips, his eyes only looked at the armor, swords, guns and horses behind the hands of the cavalry, they were all good things!I have to think of a way to get some in my own hands!

However, the team that meandered from behind made him gasp a lot!

far from the east.Suddenly, a cloud of dust appeared, moving along the course of the North Canal.The dust head rose higher and higher, and it was getting closer. In the smoke and dust, there were bursts of horseshoes.Mixed with the neighing of war horses, the sound of horns serving as communication, thick and loud, in this land full of death, killing and plunder.It was a burst of excitement for no reason.

The sound of the horn stopped, a gust of wind blew up, the smoke and dust dispersed, and a group of powerful cavalry galloped towards the dry land.

There are about 300 cavalrymen up and down, dressed the same as the scouts, with the same spears, sabers, helmets, armor, cloaks, and flags.The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, neat and mighty, galloping forward under the sun, like a silver mountain galloping towards you.

A jujube horse in the lead, and the officer on the horse, under a huge red flag, raised binoculars to observe the distant terrain and observe whether there is any abnormality.This thin officer is Huang Yishan, the cavalry battalion officer who accompanied the Shou Han to Beijing!

"Order the left and right whistle!" Huang Yishan turned his face and gave the command backwards, "Send side guards to both sides, five miles away, and search for suspicious terrain. Prevent Jiannu cavalry from raiding!"

The trumpeter behind him blew the loud and clear brass horn on the horse. Before the sound of the horn hit the ground, two small groups of cavalry rushed away, one to the left and the other to the right, like eagles spreading their wings.

"Keep the formation and protect the Chinese army moving forward!" Huang Yishan issued another password.

"Rear sentry pay attention to gather people together to prevent falling behind!"

His password was quickly transmitted backwards by the bugleman with a loud and crisp sound, and the brigade moved faster and more vigorously than before, flying towards this side like a dragon and a tiger.

Not far behind him, another group of infantry appeared on the field, heading west in a mighty manner.

What is surprising is that even the infantry is fully armored!The mental state is good, and the long-distance march can still maintain the formation without chaos or dispersal.Occasionally, there would be a few jokes in the team, and then they would disappear under the orders of the team officers and sentry officers.Only the long spears carried by the soldiers on their shoulders were still shining in the sun, almost dazzled the eyes of Mr. Qian.

There was the sound of rumbling wheels crushing the ground, and the neighing of mules and horses. The Chinese army came with a large number of vehicles.Isshiki's four-wheeled vehicles made of steel crushed the potholed ground of the official road, causing the drivers to keep yelling at the horses pulling the carts. The goods piled up high on the carts were presumably food and other items consumed by the army. From time to time, some rice grains were bumped out.

What is even more surprising is that the wheels are different from those of everyday vehicles.The wheels are not made of wood, but made of steel, and there is a circle of black things around the outside. I don't know what it is. When they run over the road, there is only a rustling sound.

These black things in the eyes of the soldiers of the Ming army are the fruit of the teardrop tree that Shou Han took ten years to complete, which is the rubber we are familiar with.Although it is a tire made of raw rubber that has not been vulcanized, it also has wings for the march of the troops.

These four-wheeled transporters have raw rubber tires on all the wheels!The fly in the ointment is that the service life is a bit short, and I am afraid that it will be worn out after traveling more than a thousand kilometers.However, Shouhan has ordered the gentlemen of the Maple Ridge Laboratory to test the rubber with sulfur, and must come up with the original vulcanized rubber!
