Win the Ding 1617

The northern country is late in spring.When the south of the Yangtze River was already in early spring and February, when there were miscellaneous peanuts, trees, grass and warblers flying everywhere, on the land outside the Great Wall, there was still a tinge of chill in the air.However, even such a climate can't stop life's yearning and longing for spring.The treetops and branches on the banks of several big rivers have already sprouted hazy yellow-green spots.In the distance, the apricot blossoms that have been silent for a whole winter can't wait to poke their heads out of the loneliness, facing the somewhat chilly spring breeze with bloody frozen faces, blooming happily.There are clusters, rustling, all over the mountains and plains.

Crossing the wide river loop, the river has been frozen for a long winter, and from time to time there are muffled rattling sounds from under the thick ice layer, which means that the ice layer has felt the breath of spring and is gradually beginning to thaw , burst.As the ice layer gradually melted, the water in the Hetao gradually widened. This situation is called by the locals that the river water has become fatter.The sound of splashing water brings bursts of joy to people.Occasionally, one or two river fish would jump up from under the ice, twist their waists and jump out of the water, perform a wonderful somersault, and then fall into the water, frightening a group of roe deer drinking on the bank to run around Go, look back from a distance, and wait and see what splashes water on its face.

Seeing nothing unusual, this group of stupid animals slowly walked back to the drinking river, continued to drink water, and by the way, looked for those young grass sprouts that were impatiently popping up by the river to improve their food .

"Swoosh! Whoosh!"

A few sharp arrows flew by from a distance with the sound of the wind, and shot right at the necks and heads of these roe deer. Before they could whine a few times, they fell down by the river. melt.

"People say that we in Liaodong are 'beating roe deer with a ladle and scooping fish', which is really good!"

More than a dozen fast horses galloped along the long grass from south to north.The riders on horseback are all wearing armor, and the leader has a huge flag stuck behind his back.

Seeing that the prey fell to the ground where the arrow went, the strong and satisfied put away the hard bow in his hand, and signaled the servants around him to fetch the roe deer.

Several subordinates in cotton armor intentionally showed off and curry favor in front of the officer, and shook their whips to urge the horses to leave.The very beautiful one leaned down, picked up a roe deer, urged the horse to rush to the river, washed and peeled the roe deer with the river water, and prepared it as meat for the evening.

The same scene is still happening along the banks of this big river called the Second Songhua River.Most of these riders are cavalry soldiers with only one piece of cotton armor and one helmet, and they are not considered elite soldiers among the Eight Banners of Manchuria.It can only be used by light cavalry who act as sentry cavalry and pathfinders ahead.Their job was to find the way and camp for the large group of people.Water source, ready firewood.

It was about a day's journey away from these sentry cavalry, and the overwhelming force of troops shrouded the land like a dark cloud.Thousands of military flags of various colors fluttered in the queue, and the various flags were even more numerous.

Teams of cavalry and infantry were mixed together, forming a torrent of steel. The road had not yet thawed, and tens of thousands of horseshoes knocked on the frozen ground, making a rumbling sound.

A group of knights in the team is even more eye-catching.Needless to say, Ma Rulong and people are like tigers, all of them are armored and black tasseled.Carrying a horse lunge bow on his back, the quiver is full of good arrows.There are long knives, Guduo and other weapons hanging on the saddle, and Eight Banners spears and tiger spears are held in the hands.Each of them has a strict military appearance and a murderous aura.

These people are the core of the Qing army, the most elite part, the Kabush Xianchao Ha Ying.

Only Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, had the power to use Gebush's virtuous and super-ha warriors.These soldiers were the most powerful and elite in the Qing army, and they were very strict in their selection. Only two people were selected for each Niu Lu, so they were naturally selected one in a hundred. .

Huang Taiji's Kabusi Xianchao Ha Battalion, like Temujin's Kexue Army and Li Shouhan's Guards Brigade, are the core of the entire army's combat effectiveness.Be prepared to devote yourself to the most important direction at the most critical time.

These good soldiers of the Kabush were at this time the Imperial Forest Army of Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, and they were also the predecessors of the Vanguard Battalion, the so-called Guard Battalion, Pioneer Battalion, and Xiaoqi Battalion after the Qing Army entered the customs. The Ba Yala soldiers, also known as the guard camps, were even more tyrannical.

Among the Kabush virtuous soldiers, there were several iron helmets with flying feathers, two-foot flying tiger flags on their backs, and fox tails on their poles. The two generals were surrounded by officers with double fox tails under their iron helmets. Come on horseback.These talented and powerful military officers of the Kabush, surrounded by stars like the moon, are naturally not ordinary people.

Gabush Xianga La Angbang Wubai and Karbusa Xianzhang Jinglaosa are in the middle of this horse team, but they have their own thoughts.

According to the Gebush Xianchao Ha camp system established by Huang Taiji, the ranks in the camp are no more than Kara Angbang, Zhang Jing, bodyguard, Zhuangda, and Jiabing. Wu Bai and Laosa are Angbang and Zhang Jing. Naturally, he is the one and only character in this battalion.

However, Wu Bai did not have the high-spirited feeling when he accompanied Huang Taiji on expeditions and inspections in the past.

He still kept replaying the scene of the discussion in front of the Shengjing Dazheng Hall that day in his mind.

In front of the Dazheng Hall, the banner masters and princes Baylor of each banner still stood in line according to their respective organizational systems.However, in the eyes of Huang Taiji on the throne, at this time there is no difference between the so-called Yellow, White, Blue and Red Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Han Army and Eight Banners Mongolia, and there are only two camps.

"One is loyal to me, and the other is in collusion with Dorgon, Archina!"

At the end of the Liaodong war, although Huang Taiji's Liaodong anti-thief group won the victory, Huang Taiji and his advisers carefully calculated the results and losses, but they wanted to cry without tears.

Although more than [-] Ming troops led by Hong Chengchou were defeated in the Liaoxi Corridor, and a large number of supplies and weapons were received and seized, food, the most urgent material for the rebels in Liaodong, was not much obtained.

Although the three Dingliao generals' cannons, the piles of armor weapons and gunpowder were captured, and tens of thousands of Ming army prisoners were captured, such a result made Huang Taiji very excited at first.However, when the princes and confidant ministers who stayed in Shengjing, Liaoyang and other places reported the losses and consumption figures of the Liaodong War, he couldn't laugh.

And when he learned that if the dozens of cities in Liaoyang and other places were rebuilt, or if the victims there were relieved, it would still be insufficient to put all the spoils of the Liaodong War into it, Huang Taiji cried even more. With it, "Nearly [-] more mouths have been added out of thin air. Where can I find so much food to feed them?!"

However, unlike Huang Taiji, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who wanted to cry without tears, the Liangbaiqi, who was originally sent to Tashan to use the artillery fire of the Southern Guangdong Army to consume and weaken it, turned out to be a windfall!Not to mention the large amount of armor and weapons seized, the large amount of food and grass hoarded in Songshan Fort made the Dorgon brothers' waists a lot thicker.

"Your Majesty. As far as this servant knows, after this battle, Prince Rui compiled a total of more than 130 coats of cattle records, with a total of more than [-] people. In addition to the dozens of cattle records that were handed over to the Eight Banners Han Army , the strength of the two white flags Manchuria, already, already..." Fan Wencheng stuttered a bit.This kind of blood spattering between brothers on the spot for the sake of power is nothing new among Liao thieves.He's tired of seeing it himself.For a position of power.The father can force the son away, kill the son, and the son can kill the biological mother.What's more, the Dorgon brothers, who have been making small moves with Huang Taiji in private?

Now the forces directly controlled by his three brothers are on par with the two yellow flags and the blue flags controlled by Huang Taiji and his sons. What's more, there are two red flags who are obviously leaning towards the two white flags. The victory lies in the huge momentum, once Shuo Tuo and others suddenly attack at the most critical moment of the confrontation between the two sides.Then Huang Taiji will have a great fun!

In Bao Chengxian's suggestion, we might as well invite all banner owners and princes to enter the palace to drink in the name of celebrating the great victory.So they ambushed the swordsmen at the banquet, and after giving an order, they chopped the three brothers into meat paste, and then sent troops to attack the two white flags. After the matter was settled, they announced that the three of them had secretly communicated with the Ming army, intending to betray them. The crime of the Qing Dynasty.

"The weather is not hot yet. Your idea is already bad!" Fan Wencheng came to a conclusion with disdain for Bao Chengxian's proposal.Such a method is too risky, and Huang Taiji can't afford the consequences if the princes and nobles of the Eight Banners turn back.What if the news gets out, or if one of the three brothers is not there?If the matter is not confidential.When Dorgon learned of the news, he made the conspiracy public, and then asked the emperor to give everyone an explanation, are you planning to donate your six-pound pig head to let the emperor appease the anger of the Eight Banners nobles?

Traveling back and forth to Guangning, Jinzhou, and Tashan several times to convey the message to Dorgon, Fan Wencheng can be regarded as witnessing that Dorgon took the two white flags as the core, used the discretionary power granted to him by Huang Taiji, and generously rewarded meritorious soldiers. A process of Tashan system covering almost all the ministries of the Eight Banners emerged.At this time, you have come to offer this method of ambush in advance, how do you know which relatives of the officials of the two yellow banners were promoted and rewarded by Dorgon in Tashan?

However, Fan Wencheng sneaked a peek at the look on Huang Taiji's face, but found that he was also uncertain, presumably he was weighing the pros and cons.

To be honest, at this point, even if Huang Taiji could bear it no matter how forbearing, he still planned in his heart to kill the three Dorgon brothers at once, and swallow those tens of thousands of horses in one gulp, leaving no scum behind.At the beginning of hearing Bao Chengxian's simple and direct strategy, Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel a little moved.However, after thinking about it for a while, he still had to give up this plan.It's not that he can't bear it, but that now is not the time.Now Dorgon's reputation is booming, his morale is booming, and neither his military exploits nor his strength should be underestimated.If you kill him at this time, let alone the probability of success, even if you succeed, a lot of finishing work will be extremely complicated. How to consolidate the victory, how to stabilize the Eight Banners nobles, how to appease them, when the war has just stopped It is indeed very difficult to do such a big move.

Huang Taiji's three Han counselors, Bao Chengxian and Fan Wencheng, all expressed their attitudes.Only Ning Wan and I stood there thinking hard. It seems that he has ideas in his heart but has not yet matured.

"Your Majesty, I have a little foolish opinion, Your Majesty please advise me." Finally, after Ning Wan, the expression on my face became very peaceful, and I slowly expressed my idea in a confident tone.

Ning Wan, my proposition is actually very simple. During the Liaodong War, the articles in Jinzhou started from Guangning, and now the articles in Shengjing have to start from another place.

"Your Majesty once told the servants that when our Qing soldiers fought against Ming soldiers on the Jinzhou and Songshan lines, wild men from various tribes in Sauron, Heilongjiang rushed out of the mountains and harassed and burned the villages where our Qing soldiers and civilians were killed. Your Majesty , you said to the servants and others that day that this generation of savages has become the tarsus maggot of my Qing Dynasty. How can you not take advantage of the opportunity of sweeping up the border troubles in the north and cutting off this current Pidao Mao Wenlong, and write a good article ?”

"it is good!"

"Mr. Ning is really scheming!"

"Mr. Gaocai, the students are ashamed!"

The three of them are all born with seven orifices and exquisite hearts. After hearing Ning Wan's opening chapter, they immediately guessed Ning Wan's follow-up method.

Expedition to the north with large soldiers.Clearing away the threats from Sauron's tribes, not only can expand the territory, plunder the population and property, and further improve Huang Taiji's prestige, but also through this battle, establish the territory of the northern border for the Qing Dynasty, and send officials, soldiers and horses to garrison , Three times, it is said that Li Peiting's guy also has a business station in the bitter cold place in the extreme north.There are a large number of food and grass equipment sold to those savages who have not yet fully civilized.After this battle is won, the commercial station he set up on the edge of Heilongjiang is the food in the mouth of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong.At worst, turn around and greet him with some polite words, just give him more money!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help sighing, hey, I don't know since when, the Eight Banners have to ask the second son of the Li family first to find out about the internal affairs of the Eight Banners. Who really belongs to the Qing Dynasty?

north.In addition to these gains, the Saurons under the leadership of Bomubogor, the leader of the Heilongjiang River Basin, were eliminated.There is also a harvest that none of the four monarchs and ministers have ever said.

In the final analysis, this harvest has a lot to do with the military strength structure of the Qing army.

From the time when the old slaves rebelled against Liaodong, the so-called Eight Banners system was formulated. When they go out, they are soldiers, and when they enter, they are people.Whether it is a military organization or a civil administration institution, Niulu is the unit.Three dings draw one, one ding is armored, and the rest are loose dings.Among these armored soldiers, some are Ba Yala soldiers, and the rest are infantry and vest soldiers.In wartime, armored flag Ding is the main force.The rest of the flags are used as ordinary soldiers, and most of them have to go out with the army and fight in battle.

However, each time they go to war, the military personnel can be roughly divided into three types according to their identities: Aha, armored men, and bannermen.Aha is a slave, either Han or Korean.Or people from various tribes in the Northeast.These people had no armor, and some even did not even have weapons. When they went out with the army, they were generally only used as handymen or cannon fodder, or to feed horses to make machinery, or to fill in Haogou, or to dig city bricks.

Although the number of troops accompanying each time is large, sometimes reaching tens of thousands, it is not listed as the number of troops in the Qing Dynasty.These people are the biggest leaders of the auxiliary soldiers of the Qing army. Since these young men stayed behind, if they escaped, the young men would not be able to survive.

Most of the armored people are descended from various tribes in the Northeast, with various ethnic groups. Most of them are Oroqen, Xibe, Ewenki, Sauron, Daur, Hezhe, Kuyi, etc. in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins. The Qing army collectively called them For savages, they are mostly collected from various mountain rivers.The combat effectiveness of these tribal soldiers is much stronger than that of the direct descendants of the Eight Banners Manchuria. Moreover, in the era when the Eight Banners soldiers have become rotten and outrageous, Sauron soldiers and Dashou Ula soldiers are still synonymous with powerful troops.In several battles in the Central Plains, Sauron's soldiers performed well.

Elephants die because of their ivory, rhinos die because of their horns.Because these people are powerful in combat, they are the main targets of cannon fodder in the Qing army.Due to frequent wars.These northeastern tribal soldiers who were used as cannon fodder, many tribes disappeared later.

Just like the Hezhe people, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were still a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands. After the Manchus entered the customs, the whole tribe died only a few thousand people.Until later generations, the total population of Hezhe people in the world was less than 3.This is a typical representative of the Northeast cannon fodder tribe.

If it is possible to pacify Sauron's tribes, not to mention gaining wealth and prestige, but simply to capture a large number of Sauron tribes to replenish their strength, or simply weave them into the Eight Banners of Dashou Ula to deter the other five banners. This is the most important thing in Huang Taiji's heart Satisfied with purpose!

Thinking of Li Peiting who helped Dorgon to grow up, Huang Taiji couldn't help but his black and fat face twitched, his muscles twitched constantly, and it was obvious that he was gnashing his teeth.If it weren't for you guys to start trading with our various ministries of the Qing Dynasty, how could Dorgon have such an opportunity to obtain a lot of money and materials?Without salt cloth and other things, how can he reach into the various ministries of the Eight Banners?

Forget it, no matter how bastard the second son of the Li family is, he is just a businessman, and it is reasonable to plan to make more money.It's better than those guys who want my money and my life at the same time.

Speaking of it, the Northern Expedition also achieved multiple goals. It could expand its influence and influence, directly do business with the second son of the Li family, and make use of the water transportation of Heilongjiang and Songhua River to make large-scale transfers. Go to southern Liaoning for reclamation.What?If you don't agree, that's good, Heilongjiang's trade is not your share, and you will have a bad reputation of not paying attention to the border defense of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition, in the future, in the name of guarding against Wu Sangui's landing sneak attack, some of the strong men can be assigned to build ships in southern Liaoning. In this way, although your core elite of Dorgon is indispensable, some of the strong men you swallowed before will be spit out.And as long as these young men are in my hands, they will be used as soldiers if they are trained for a long time.Then I will find another opportunity to kill you brothers, and I will see who dares to say no.

Although doing so, the sequelae are quite big, but it's better than being dealt with by your brothers in a similar way in the future.If he can negotiate a peace with Daming again, it will be even more foolproof.

"It would be great if the brothers of the Li family are willing to sell grain and rice with me. Why do I have to work so hard?" Huang Taiji threw aside the historical records that he hadn't read a page for half a day, "Mr. Fan, please pass on my will , Discussions in the Grand Palace!" (To be continued...)
