Win the Ding 1617

"General!"

A Lazhangjing rushed into Dorgon's tent in a hurry.

"Ningyuan! There is a brigade of Ming army cavalry in the direction of Ningyuan!"

"The Model Brigade in Songshan is also making moves!"

The elite Ming army in both the north and the south took action.

"What are you panicking about!"

Dorgon hadn't made a statement yet, but Duo Duo, the great general at the side, had already swung his whip and beat Najia Lazhangjing head-on. How could he not beat this kind of slave who panicked when encountering some disturbance?

"The guys from Ning Yuan are also here to join in the fun and take advantage of it?"

Dorgon snorted coldly, for Wu Sangui's army stationed in Ningyuan at this time, even though he knew that he was considered an outstanding figure among the Liaodong Army, he had once fought against his Zhengbaiqi.However, from the bottom of his heart, Dorgon's emphasis on the Ningyuan Army is far lower than that of the Songshan Model Brigade that was walking towards them at this /wan//bar/.nsb.

"How many people are here?"

Along the official road from Ningyuan to Jinzhou, a group of Ming troops is advancing rapidly.A team of about 3000 people, all cavalry cavalry, almost all of them are dressed in black armor, typical of Wu Sangui's Ding Jingqi.Behind this group of cavalry, the team walking along the avenue formed a wave of human heads, which seemed to be boundless from a distance, and one after another neat square formations could not see the end. roll.

As soon as you can see, the phalanxes are full of dense hats and helmets, dense bright red long body armor, typical Ming army infantry dress.

The infantry phalanx is far less imposing and majestic than the cavalry.However, the momentum is even bigger!Behind almost every phalanx, a large number of vehicles followed.The two-wheeled cart is full of high piles of various items, covered with thatch, and tied tightly with thick hemp ropes.

There are also many civilian men and those auxiliary soldiers of the Ningyuan Army who only wear cotton armor and folded turbans on their heads, pushing various chariots and more than a dozen six-pound guns in the Ming army. Dafo Langji gritted his teeth and walked forward on the rugged official road.

A banner with a flag two feet high, Wu Sangui was wearing full armor and a crown, reining in his horse and standing on a small dirt bag beside the road, watching the advancing speed of the soldiers with satisfaction.

Starting in the morning, we heard the faint sound of cannons coming from the direction of Tashan.Although the princess princess has a bit of a temper.But he is indeed a man of his word.After capturing Hongluo Mountain and Fishing Mountain, they launched an attack on Ta Mountain without stopping.In this way, Dorgon, the slave chieftain stationed at Tashan and other places, is bound to devote his main energy to defending against the attack of the Southern Guangdong Army from the direction of Diayushan.As for the actions of the Ming army on land, they just couldn't stick to it.

This feint.The purpose is achieved.

Starting from Ningyuan.After passing Tashan, they joined the army and horses of the model brigade from Songshan to the south, and together they transported the winter supplies to the city of Jinzhou.Break through the direction of Jierhalang from the direction of Xiaoling River and complete the handover with Uncle's army.In this way, Jinzhou will have no worries this winter.

"It's a pity that the weather is too cold and the Daling River is frozen. Otherwise, the princess's navy can go upstream to transport supplies to the city of Jinzhou!"

Seek stability first, then change.This is the combat principle agreed upon by everyone that day.First of all, try to keep Jinzhou intact, and then gradually open up the connection with Guangning Hongdushi.

"We can afford it, but Jiannu may not be able to afford it!"

In front of the generals, Li Huamei vigorously analyzed the enemy's situation for them.

As long as these cotton clothes, fuel and other supplies enter Jinzhou, my uncle can hold on for a whole winter.This buys everyone enough time to clear him.

While thinking proudly in his head, his eyes were looking at the surrounding situation sharply like a falcon.The marching movement and discipline of the cavalry, the advancing speed of the infantry, the movement of the sentry sentry of the slaves near the hillside in the distance, and the vigorous posture of their servants stepping forward to expel them. The head shouted and galloped past.These scenes are all in his field of vision.

"Marshal. There is news from the vanguard sentry cavalry, they have seen the banner of Songshan's brothers! They should also be sentry cavalry!"

A member of the Wu family will report to Wu Sangui the latest progress ahead with some excitement.Joining forces with the model brigade stationed in Songshan, the most dangerous moment for the Ningyuan Army has passed.Tens of thousands of people join forces in one place, even if two white flags come out of the fortification together, they will not be afraid!

"Tell the brethren, speed up! Be sure to join Brigadier Commander Wu's troops before the troops of Jiannu Brigade are dispatched!"

"Send someone to immediately report the situation here to Princess Huamei of the Southern Guangdong Army, and ask her to continue to supervise the onslaught of the division. Don't let Jiannu have the strength to divide the troops!"

Several servants roared and rode their horses back and forth to convey his military orders among the ranks. Immediately, the infantry troop quickened their pace, and the sounds of noise, shouting, and the rumbling of vehicles rolling over the ground were intertwined.

There are more than [-] steps in Zhou Qili of Jinzhou, and there is a moat, and the city wall is nearly ten meters high.Outside the city wall in the south, there is a small section of the city wall. On the four sides of the city, there are also two-story double-story towers. At the same time, there are small Guanxiang towns in the east, west and north of Jinzhou.

In the southwest corner of Jinzhou City, there are Guangji Temple and the Millennium Liao Pagoda. This tower is as high as [-] floors and is located on a hill. It can be called the central commanding height of Jinzhou.Standing on the tower, you can have a clear view of the surrounding movement.In the wars over the years, the guards in the city all lived on the tower and used it as command and dispatch.

At this time, the top floor of the ancient pagoda.A group of Ming generals in full armor were standing, and the leader was a general who was over sixty years old.It is the core figure of Prince Shaofu of Ming Dynasty, governor of Zuo, Zu Dashou, general of Jinzhou, and general of Guan Ning.

"Brother, the people of Songshan are heading south!"

Condescending, with the help of a telescope, Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Dabi's face flushed with excitement.The beard that was originally the same as the steel needle is also raised and raised.

On the city wall, there were three other gates. Those Jinzhou defenders wrapped in folded scarves and wearing short body armor were all cheering, waving their knives, guns and weapons and applauding loudly.

During this period of time, for the Jinzhou defenders.It can be said to be the most colorful encounter in life.First, from being surrounded by heavy troops from the Tartars, the imperial army killed them, forcing Jiannu to withdraw the besieging soldiers and horses, and the siege of Jinzhou was resolved.But who could have imagined it, but more than ten days after the siege was rescued, another bad news came. Even the soldiers and horses who rescued the siege were surrounded by Jiannu in Guangning City.

Jinzhou was once again surrounded by troops and horses led by Jierhalang.

However, before everyone had time to face the heavy siege and panic, there was new good news that the imperial court's second wave of reinforcements had arrived!

And to pacify Liaodong for World War I.This time the court was cruel.He ordered Ning Yuanbo to lead his army and horses to the north to aid Liao.This immediately boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City!

For nothing else, when Jinzhou cleared the siege that day, everyone could see it clearly.As the main force to break the siege.Come to aid the model brigade, the backbone of the army.There is no second in the limelight.However, the generals of the ancestral family couldn't help but click their tongues after hearing the introduction of Wu Sangui who knew the details of this army in private!It turned out to be such a strong team.It turned out to be just a motley crew under Uncle Ning Yuan's command, and the emperor and courtiers and eunuchs used high-ranking officials and generous salaries (this is a bit wronged, Chongzhen may not pay more than the protagonist!) to poach the wall from Uncle Ning Yuan.

The rebellious team is so strong, so what kind of appearance should the direct line elite come? !

"Brother! It's time for us to make meritorious service again!" Zu Dabi grinned happily.No matter who broke the siege of Jinzhou, the contribution of the ancestral soldiers and horses to defend Jinzhou is certain.As long as they stay safely in the city wall, they will have a credit and a reward in their hands.The court reward for Governor Hong's rescue from the siege last time has not been spent yet, this time the reward for the rescue is in front of him again.

"Don't get complacent too early!" Zu Dashou scolded his younger brother.

Zu Dashou's voice was deep and deep, firm and powerful, with an undeniable taste.

This is a habit developed by standing at the pinnacle of power for many years.After all, in Liaodong, there are very few people who can challenge him, even Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, was very polite when he met him in the past.

"Let the boys below prepare their chariots. Once the elder uncle's troops rush out of Jinzhou City, our soldiers and horses will immediately rush out to meet the elder uncle. The Tartar Changgou on the Xiaoling River line is weak, so it is the best breakthrough!"

"Don't worry, I'll let the children prepare!"

"Prepare more earth bags and prepare to fill up the trenches!"

The south of Jinzhou City is not far from the Xiaoling River, and it is inconvenient to set up a camp or line up, so in that direction, there are only some wandering horses galloping.However, across the Xiaoling River, not far from the south bank, there are also some camps, but they are relatively few. It was a trap deliberately opened by the Qing army to facilitate the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming army.

However, the same trap is fine for sheep, but not for tigers and leopards.

"Second brother! Let's send some troops to rush out to disperse Wu Sangui's supply convoy. Even if we can't wipe out his army, grab some supplies and come back, it's a good thing to cheer up the slaves!"

Standing on the hill from a distance, looking at the countless vehicles guarded by Wu Sangui's large group of cavalry, infantry, and chariots, from the heavy sound of the pulley and the faintly audible sound of the drivers shaking their whips, urging the cattle and horses to go on the road The voices, as well as the earth-shattering roars of cows and horses, made it easy for Duoduo to judge that this team is full of oil and water!

"Pass down the order! The Southern Guangdong Army's offensive is imminent. If any one of the two white flags' troops dares to leave the position without authorization, they will be killed immediately! The officer belongs to two levels of superiors and will be demoted! The family property will be confiscated! The troops and horses of the officials' troops will be handed over to friendly troops The officials are in charge! Those who lose their positions are also guilty of the same crime!"

Dorgon's cold voice made people's eagerness to try was immediately extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

Regarding this order of the second elder brother, although Duoduo slandered in his heart, he gave very strict instructions to the generals under him to carry it out to the letter.

Back in Tashan Fort, which was originally a garrison mansion, Dorgon ordered people to set up a charcoal fire, and asked several Mongolian women who were originally captives in Tashan Fort to take off their armor and offer milk tea.

The two brothers sat opposite each other and took two sips of steaming milk tea. After replenishing some calories, Dorgon let out a long and comfortable breath.

"Dodo, do you think the second brother is a little timid?"

Duoduo didn't speak, just sipping milk tea.

"The siege of Jinzhou is his mission from Jierhalang. The mission of my two white flags is to block the enemy's reinforcements on the Tashan line. Now our army is facing tens of thousands of elites from the Southern Guangdong Army under the cover of hundreds of artillery pieces, and they are not afraid of death." A continuous charge. If you are too busy to take care of yourself, how can you stop the joint action of Wu Sangui and Wu Biao? If this causes Tashan to miss and the three Ming armies merge, who will bear the responsibility?"

Duduo is known as the absurd prince, and he is extremely brave in battle, but he is definitely not the kind of brave man who has no brains. On the contrary, the absurd behavior is just a manifestation of his political wisdom to protect himself when he is a weak person.

I heard the second brother dictate the battle report in this way.Immediately it was very clear what Dorgon's intention was.

"That's right! We are facing the impact of the Southern Guangdong Army here. We are really powerless to deal with the two troops of the Ming Army behind us!"

Let that old dog Jierhalang face the crazy impact of Wu Biao, Wu Sangui, and Zu Dashou's three Ming armies!There is a saying in the art of war, the poor should not pursue, and the return to the teacher should not be suppressed.Now these three Ming armies are poor for winter supplies, right?

Doduo was a little gloating in his heart.Jierharang.You boneless old dog!That guy Huang Taiji has a big vendetta against you for killing your father and brother.How can you be so loyal.What a good servant!

also good!Then let you have a good taste of Wu Biao's volley of guns, and the cavalry rushing in like a wall!And Wu Sangui's wolf cavalry, this king doesn't believe it.Your soldiers and horses inlaid with blue flags are more powerful than the elites of the two yellow flags, the blue flags, and my two white flags 1

I'm here to see how you wounded your soldiers and generals under the city of Jinzhou, and you were severely beaten.Ask Zu Dashou to collect and keep the supplies for the king first!

In the capital city, the wharf at Chaoyangmen also fell silent for a while as night fell.The north wind was blowing, and the weather was getting colder and colder. The deadly north wind was also mixed with snowflakes and ice balls, blowing on the body and face, immediately turning people's faces blue and lips purple.

The coolies on the wharf hid in small inns one by one, gorging on stewed fire made from the offal of pigs, cattle and sheep. These animal offals are rich in fat and calories. It is these coolies who make a living Liked.Some people even use two taels of hot wine to resist the cold and get rid of fatigue.

In Lumicang Hutong, which is not more than a mile away from Chaoyangmen Wharf, in front of an unremarkable deep house compound, dozens of sedans and horses are parked.

The courtyard looks ordinary on the outside, but there are holes in the inside. There are several exits and entrances. The extremely spacious courtyard, not to mention the excessive building regulations, the main houses are all made of precious wood such as nanmu and rosewood as beams, columns, purlins and purlins.The fire sandwiched the walls one by one, making the whole house warm like spring, comparable to the air conditioning and heating of later generations, and even more environmentally friendly.

At this time, a banquet is being held above the main hall, and there are many maids and women waiting on it. All the guests are seated on huanghuali official hat chairs and huanghuali eight-legged round stools, covered with Haozhou Yijin silk.

Narcissus from Zhangzhou, tangerines from Fujian, lychees from Guangdong, sugar cane from Taiwan, and even more expensive mangosteens and rambutans are also piled up in front of the guests.

This extravagant style, not to mention the poor Chongzhen, even the dignitaries in the capital, the officials of the six ministries, and the elders of the cabinet will be willing to bow down.

On a huge round table in the middle, eight old men sat in groups.

The leader is an old man, his face is full of wrinkles, full of vicissitudes of life, his trembling demeanor, his face full of age spots, he can still see the square face with sharp edges and corners in the old days, a typical appearance of Jin.

The occasional flashes of light in the cloudy eyeballs are enough to make people understand that although this person is old, his mind is becoming more and more shrewd, and his methods are even more sophisticated.

This one is Fan Yongdou, the head of the famous Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants.

Sitting with him and drinking together are the heads of the other seven families.Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa and others.

These eight merchants can be regarded as the vested interest groups that used the open-China method in the Ming Dynasty to guarantee the military supplies of the Nine Frontiers.Not only did they supply food and other necessities for the troops stationed on the nine frontiers, but they also traded with Mongolian tribes.The rise of Zhangjiakou is due to the trade between Shanxi merchants and Mongolian tribes.By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Zhangjiakou's import and export trade with Inner Mongolia and Russia reached 5000 million taels of silver, accounting for one-third of the country's trade at that time. (Those who said that Zhan Tianyou built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was for the convenience of the Lafayette to go to the grave to worship his ancestors, you can go face the corner and reflect.) After the rebellion in Nurhachi in Liaodong, these businessmen were given an excellent opportunity.

Due to the hostile relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the military and living materials they needed could only be obtained through the trade market in Zhangjiakou, that is, they used Zhangjiakou as the base to operate, and in order to obtain the materials they needed, they bought them at high prices.Anyway, it will be taken back on the battlefield.No one is doing the so-called loss-making business, and the beheading business is rushing to do it.Faced with a [-]% profit, Fan Yongdou and seven other businessmen started doing business in this area, "cooperating with Liao Zuo to make money and keep faith for a long time."According to the "Wanquan County Chronicle" recorded in the Daoguang period: "The eight merchants are all from the right side of the mountain. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, they came to Zhangjiakou for trade. Said: Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yongfa, from this Those who moved towards Long Xing Liaozuo and sent people to Kou City for trade are all headed by the eight families."

In addition to smuggling grain, grass and ironware and selling leather, raw gold, ginseng and antler produced in Liaodong on behalf of the Liaodong rebels, they also sold the property looted by the Liaodong rebels to the mainland, which made the Ming Dynasty’s blockade policy fail. Oh, Is it money laundering?

These actions were called by some modern historians as "the traitors of Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty, the military supplies and food and salaries needed for the turnover of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and indirectly led the Qing soldiers to pass. They were really the scum of the Han nationality at that time."
