Daming wolf ride

Outside Liaoyang City, Peng Sihai, who was a bandit last year and now a hundred households in the Ming Dynasty, has been staring at Jiancheng for a long time. The two general banners Dong Zhong and Chen Shou beside him also followed his uncle and nephew that day. Thieves and bandits have now become low-level military attaches of the Jinzhou Army by virtue of their achievements in suppressing the rebellion in Dengzhou.

When Dengzhou expanded its army, the Wolf Cavalry Army was divided into light and heavy battalions. The heavy cavalry was led by Cao Bianjiao, the commander of the battalion, but the light battalion was handed over to Peng Dachui by Dayong.After Wanghai Fort landed, the wolf cavalry marched northward as a forward, and captured huge horses. Dayong selected elite soldiers from the original Ming army and those Mongolian soldiers who surrendered to expand the light cavalry, so that the number of light cavalry increased from 1200. Expanded to 3000 people.

The heavy cavalry cannot be expanded immediately due to the lack of heavy armor, but this is the case. Dayong also expanded the 500 auxiliary soldiers dedicated to the heavy cavalry to 1600. Two auxiliary soldiers take on one heavy armor soldier. This configuration made Cao Bianjiao laugh It's hard to hear from ear to ear, because this configuration allows heavy armored soldiers to march as fast as light cavalry without worrying about damage to horsepower.

Dayong repeatedly emphasized to his subordinates the importance of speed for warfare, and Cao Bianjiao, who was born in a cavalry family, also knew this personally.Two years ago, he personally witnessed that his uncle Cao Wenzhao only led 6 cavalry for [-] miles, blocked the opening of the encirclement before the militia, and then defeated more than [-] militia in one fell swoop.The battle that made Cao Wenzhao famous in the northwest was actually nothing to write about, it was just a quick one.Whoever is fast enough can get ahead of the opponent and win.

Limited by the number of heavy cavalry, Cao Bianjiao knew that most of the battles of the wolf cavalry in the future would not be heavy armored battles, but more battles like light cavalry, so that the heavy cavalry could Moving as fast as a hussar was something he had always dreamed of.In the past, due to the shortage of horses, heavy armored tactics played a greater role, but now it is different. With enough auxiliary soldiers, heavy armored cavalry can maneuver as fast as light cavalry.This time when the light cavalry was dispatched to Liaoyang, Cao Bianjiao intended to personally supervise the formation, but because Dayong needed him to lead the heavy cavalry with the main force, in case there was an accident of being raided by the Jin army, otherwise he would have led the heavy cavalry to Liaoyang.

Now there are 1000 light cavalry outside Liaoyang City, most of which are from Jinzhou’s own army, and the commander is Peng Sihai. The other 2000 cavalry are led by Peng Dachui to clean up the Banner Fort on the line from Anshan to Liaoyang, and from Haizhou to Lianshuiguan. Another part is stationed at Nanguan, south of Jinzhou, with the infantry Zuoying one step at a time, closely monitoring the movement of the Lushun Jin Army, and preparing to attack Lushun from the north and the south when Pidao Huanglong leads his troops to completely wipe out the last one in southern Liaoning. Golden Army Fortress.Dayong intends to build Lushun into a bridgehead for the Jinzhou Army in southern Liaoning to facilitate follow-up operations, but it depends on Mrs. Hong's efforts to act in southern Liaoning after she recovers. The bridgehead lost its own little strength for nothing.

Originally, after Anshan slaughtered the city, Dayong was hesitant about whether to go north, but because of Wu Heyin's constant persuasion, he still took certain actions, but instead of the main force going north, he ordered a part of the light cavalry to approach Liaoyang City. In order to shock the Liaoyang defenders from acting rashly; secondly, to see if there is a chance to break the city (this mainly depends on whether the Han people in the city will riot); thirdly, to obtain an early warning buffer time for the army. If Shenyang has a golden army to help, Dayong can also make an early decision to fight or retreat, so as not to be caught off guard like the Jin Army.

If conditions permit, Dayong does not mind capturing Liaoyang or even making a gesture of "approaching" Shenyang. After all, Shenyang, a city that was renamed Shengjing by the Manchus, is too important. If Dayong can take Shenyang, even for a day , his reputation will be unprecedentedly great, and his weight in Chongzhen's heart will be as heavy as a rock. At that time, neither what happened in Dengzhou nor Zu Dashou will affect his influence in Liaodong.I am afraid that that day, his image in the eyes of the court officials will be taller than that of Sun Chengzong and Zu Dashou. Let me ask, is a general who can break into the capital of the Jin people for the Ming Dynasty and make the Jin people gnash their teeth a so-called thief with evil intentions!

No, never! [

Dayong believes that the young emperor will be shocked by the miracles he has created, and will be moved by his sincerity and loyalty. He will make friends with the young emperor and his ministers, and guard this collapsing world for Ming and Han people.

The relocation and reorganization of the Han people and descendants in southern Liaoning is proceeding in an orderly manner. More than 4 Han people have been moved to Jinzhou one after another. They were rescued or captured or cast in succession.This time the Jinzhou Army landed in southern Liaoning with too much momentum. As the Jin Army continued to lose and retreat, the Ming Army surrendered and the Han people who were slaves rekindled their hopes for the Ming Army. The supply battalion staying at Wanghai Fort in Jinzhou has accommodated thousands of Han people. They were first trained as auxiliary soldiers and then used as combat soldiers after actual combat.The Artillery Battalion did not recruit soldiers, which made the cannon too technical, and it would be useless to have more people. It just selected more than 100 soldiers from the Han Army Banner and Ming Army who can make artillery, and the others remained unchanged.

During this process, the former General Manager of Wanghaibao of the Jin Army and the Han Army, that is, Zhou Wuchang, who was dubbed by Dayong as "a strong man can learn from Anlu Mountain", made great contributions. He actually recruited 7000 people for Dayong in five days. The Duoyuan Ming army surrendered. Among them, more than 3000 soldiers participated in the Battle of Guangning. In addition, there were more than [-] Sichuan soldiers who participated in the Battle of Hunhe that year.For this reason, Dayong also specially asked Zhou Wuchang to check to see if there were any soldiers from the Qi family army who participated in the Battle of Hunhe in this land in southern Liaoning, but the return was that there were none. The soldiers of the Qi family army in the battle of the river were really wiped out.

Although most of the Han people and soldiers of the Ming army in the area occupied by the Jinzhou Army chose to return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, there are still a considerable number of Han people and former Ming soldiers who still chose the Jin army. ", Li Yongfang's Ming army, many of their family members have a place in the Jin army, and they can be described as hard-core traitors.For these people, Dayong naturally has no good intentions. He can't control those who have fled to the Jinjun territory, but those who are still on the way and haven't escaped are killed.

For a time, scenes of Ming army cavalry chasing and killing people fleeing to the north were staged everywhere in the land of southern Liaoning. More often, a few Ming army infantry led dozens of vengeful Han people to chase and kill those traitors.There are still a certain number of banner people and Mongols who are also stubbornly resisting, but in the face of absolute strength, their resistance is negligible, and nothing can be changed. Even if one or two teams of Ming troops can be killed, as more Ming troops If they arrived, they would inevitably end up being killed.

The checkpoints in various places have fallen into the hands of the Jinzhou Army. The left and right battalions of the Infantry Army have strictly implemented Dayong’s orders. All the trails were guarded, and there were even many Han people who spontaneously hid in the forests of the mountains. Once they found the bannermen and traitors fleeing north, they rushed out to chase and kill them.In order not to be discovered by the Ming army and the Han people, many banner people cruelly killed their young children on the way to avoid their cries being heard by the Ming army, which would cause death for adults.Those who couldn’t do anything just threw their children on the road. As a result, most of them were frozen and starved to death. Those who were lucky enough to be discovered by the Ming army were not rescued and adopted, but continued to let them cry in the wilderness of the empty mine. .Every night, someone will hear the sound of wolves howling.

In the vast south of Liaoning, whether it is plains or mountains, people are killing people everywhere, and corpses can be seen everywhere. Fortunately, it is winter. If it is summer, I am afraid that the Jinzhou army will not be defeated by the Jin army but by the plague.The Jinzhou army can't move their hands to deal with the corpses for the time being. What they have to do now is to move the Han people to Jinzhou, find all the food they can find, burn all the houses that can be burned, and blow up all the city walls that can be blown up , Fill all the wells that can be filled, and transport all the materials that can be transported away.

The scorched earth, the fertile south of Liaoning has been turned into ruins under Shi Dayong's bloodletting policy. Even if Mrs. Hong relocates manpower to enrich the south of Liaoning, at least within ten years, he will not be able to get food in southern Liaoning that can support his Eight Banners army. and supplies.

The massacre of banner people in various places was somewhat bloody, and the Han Chinese who qualified as traitors were also liquidated severely. The birth of the "nine-rank traitor system" caused heads to fall one after another. In the process, The officers carried out the purge based on the principle that they would rather kill the wrong than let them go. Many people did not do too many bad things for the Jin people, but their heads fell because of their status.

In the city of Fuzhou, more than 1000 Han people were killed, and many of them were just pretending to be the bannerman Ahha, so their deaths were not unjust.When Dayong received the report from Song Qing, he also frowned, but Song Qing was right, it was wartime, and we didn't have officials in southern Liaoning, so there was no way to screen them one by one.If you really do that, firstly, you won’t be able to catch up with the time, and secondly, there are not so many officials who can read and write. The army landed in southern Liaoning to shed the blood of the Manchus, so there is no need to follow the rules. If there is any kindness of a woman, kill them first and completely control the situation.As long as the situation is under control, our army will be able to carry out the strategic purpose of this expedition smoothly, and there is no need to worry about accidents in the future. In short, no matter whether it is wronged or not, those who have been killed cannot be saved. Now What can be done is to try to move the living Han people to Jinzhou intact, without starving or freezing, and then send them to Dengzhou.Dayong took this very seriously, and asked Song Qing and the others to do it freely, and not to report these things to him in the future. What he cares about now is Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Hong Taijun thousands of miles away.
