Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, Shanhaiguan had already fallen into the hands of the Qing Dynasty. The Great Wall defense line and the major passes north of the capital were riddled with holes and had no more troops. Therefore, the Runing Army at that time could only temporarily send troops To fill it up, first establish a line of defense to prevent the Qing army and Mongolian troops from invading the capital.

As for the defense lines of the Great Wall at Xuanda and Yansui, the Daping army could no longer take care of them, and could only hope that this year would survive.However, those Mongolian tribes are all Turkicized Western Mongols. Up to now, they have not yet surrendered to the Manchu Qing, so Western Mongolia cannot form an effective echo with the Manchu Qing.And Wu Shigong can only hope: Maybe Western Mongolia will not take advantage of the false attack to enter the mainland!

Fortunately, thanks to the indiscriminate braid scene in the previous life.This made Wu Shigong vaguely remember: After Huang Taiji died of illness, there was a period of chaos within the Manchu Qing Dynasty because of the new emperor's accession to the throne.And that little emperor's mother, Da Yu'er, is still like that.good!Wu Shigong admitted that this memory of his own came from the few fan fictions he read in his previous life.But what about the novel?Then... let's not talk about it!

Anyway, the Manchu Qing will not go to war this winter, which gives Wu Shigong's Daping Dynasty a chance to breathe and have time to build a complete northern line of defense.

Indeed, Wu Shigong did not remember this rare and useful past life memory wrongly.

When the three Dorgon brothers rushed back to Shengjing with two white flags, they immediately rubbed sparks with Hauge who stayed behind in Shengjing.If it weren't for Prince Li Daishan's constant persuasion, the two might have started fighting in Shengjing.

Immediately afterwards.The relatives and generals of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also arrived immediately.At this time of power change, these relatives and generals did not dare to stay, they all wanted to return to Shengjing as soon as possible.Find a place for yourself in the new dynasty.

At this time, the throne of the Qing Dynasty will be unfolded between Hauge and Dorgon.At that time, Hauge was in charge of the Zhenglan Banner, and had the Zhenghuang Banner and Xianghuang Banner left behind by Huang Taiji, as well as the support of many ministers. From the perspective of the Eight Banners, it was slightly better than having the Zhengbai Banner, Xiangbai Banner, Duoduo, Dorgon supported by Azig.

However, Dorgon's painstaking management for many years made most of the troops of the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Banner support him, even the middle and lower banners of the other six banners.Dorgon also has a high popularity.Therefore, these two people are actually evenly matched in the battle for the throne.Even Dorgon has a slight advantage.

So the relatives and nobles of the Qing Dynasty discussed behind closed doors for more than ten days, but the differences between the two parties could not be made up.As a result, the smell of gunpowder in Shengjing became stronger and stronger.If it weren't for the fact that everyone was unwilling to have an internal confrontation and was trying to restrain themselves, maybe Shengjing had become a battlefield.

At this time, the four most influential Heshuo princes——Prince Li Daishan took the attitude of being wise and safe.On the grounds of old age and sickness.Not wanting to get involved in this political vortex, Prince Su Haoge and Prince Rui Dorgon stood at odds, refusing to give in to each other, and the two sides were in a stalemate, so only Prince Zheng Jierhalang was more detached and could play a coordinating role.

Therefore, in the secret meeting of the No. 12-day hall, Daishan spoke first: "Haoge, the eldest son of the emperor, will inherit the great authority."

Unexpectedly, Hauge casually said modestly: "Fu Shaode is worthless. It's not worth it!"

So Dorgon took advantage of the situation and said: "Since Hauge himself thinks he can't do it, forget it!"

And at this time.Soni, Obai and others who were guarding beside the hall drew out the knives in their waists and threatened: "I belong to the emperor for food and clothing for the emperor, and the grace of upbringing is as great as the sky. If I don't raise the son of the emperor, I would rather die." From the emperor to the ground."

Seeing that the situation was not good and there was a danger of a fire, Daishan said: "I am an emperor, I always govern the government, and I always don't know it. How can I participate in this discussion?" Immediately, he stood up and left. .

So Dorgon said: "What you said is true. Since Hauge retreated and had no intention of succeeding, he should be the ninth son of the emperor (Fulin). But he is young, and the Eight Banners soldiers, I and Prince Zheng, he will be in charge of the other half, and the left and right will assist the government. When he gets old, he will return to the government immediately. I swear to the sky."

Therefore, in the compromise and concession of the relatives and nobles of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Fulin, the nine sons of Huang Taiji, succeeded to the throne, and Dorgon and Jierhalang were the regents to assist the government.Therefore, the actual power of the Manchu Qing was in the hands of Dorgon and Jierhalang.

But Dorgon is still not going to let go of Jierhalang's soy sauce role.After that, he pressed harder and harder, and finally succeeded in depriving Jierhalang of the position of regent, and truly achieved the monopoly of power.After that, Dorgon dispatched Hauge to Shanhaiguan and put him on the front line of fighting the Daping Army, and his intentions are self-evident.

But all of what Dorgon did had to go through a process.Therefore, it will take a certain amount of time to gather the rights within the Eight Banners.However, during this period of time, the Runing Army was given time to reorganize and prepare.

You must know that this time the Qing army returned to Liaodong, not only did it not suffer any loss in strength, but instead, it had Guanning cavalry and a large number of surrendered troops to join the Han army banner, coupled with a large number of seizures and population, the strength did not fall but rose.Especially now Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, so once Dorgon has integrated the interior, the Qing army will easily enter the customs.Moreover, it is seven or eight days away from Shanhaiguan to Beijing.Therefore, the current Beijing city is actually within the attack range of the Qing army.

As for the Daping Army, although nearly 35 troops have been assembled near the capital at this time, only a little more than 12 of the original Runing Army can be used, and at most the Heiyun Army and the elite Ming Army can be added. Two, 3 horses.Of course, there are also close to [-] soldiers and horses in Langxiao Town stationed in Ningyuan City and Zhenyuan City.Moreover, with the expansion of the territory, the Daping Army will have to divide its troops to garrison. In fact, its strength will not rise but fall.

However, the biggest problem with the Daping Army at present is that its strength is too stretched.For this reason, Wu Shigong could only reorganize and train the miscellaneous army in the early 20s.

And the current reorganization and training can only be divided into a few steps.In the first step, Wu Shigong prepared to organize [-] elites.Although these are elite, that is to say, they are physically stronger.The original Runing Army had its own unique tactics and training methods. Even if the elites of the original Ming Army were all veterans, it would take a while to adapt to the original Runing Army's methods, and now they are only reorganized. For more than three months, those recruits haven't even trained well in a queue, so they can't be used at all.

To be honest, the recruits of the original Runing Army who had just joined the army had at least received more than one year of basic military training in the Zhuangzhuang Team. Their individual combat skills may not be as good as these former elites of the Ming Army, but they integrated The speed to the Runing Army is much higher than that of the original Ming Army.

For this reason, Wu Shigong could only add part of the recruits to the original Runing Army, and transferred more than 1 experienced officers and veterans, and created four new towns with 5000 people each. Introduce new ones to speed up the formation of the army.

On the contrary, Pegasus Town in Zug has been greatly strengthened.There are also many cavalry in the original Ming army, and most of them have received good cavalry training, and these cavalry can basically be used.Therefore, the current Pegasus Town already has three associations with 400 cavalry, and each main town of the Daping Army is also equipped with a cavalry regiment with more than [-] cavalry, which greatly improves the mobility of the entire army. strengthen.

Of course, other miscellaneous troops are also undergoing training.But the quality of these soldiers is much worse.At least they are all sallow and thin, and they can't stand the high-intensity training of the Daping Army, so now they can only focus on supplementing nutrition and conditioning their bodies.

Of course, there is also a big gap in the armor, firearms and other equipment of the Daping Army, so we can only take care of those elite recruits first.However, if these miscellaneous troops are arranged behind the city wall and shoot cold arrows or something, then they can still play a certain role.

On the surface, the Daping Army has newly reorganized [-] new troops, which is not a small number.However, in order to control and defend Shandong, Chi Ming and Xiong Zhengen have led [-] new troops from two towns to Shandong.Not to mention that the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan in Liaodong still need reinforcements to support them.

Just as the current Shanhaiguan is a thorn in the side of the Daping army, the cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan in Liaodong are also a thorn in the side of the Qing Dynasty.In the future, the main battlefield between the Daping Army and the Qing Army will definitely revolve around these three cities.

Originally, the more than 1 soldiers and horses in Yu Ji's Langxiao Town only guarded the city of Zhenyuan City.Among them, the [-] troops were even Liaodong military households and Mongolian herdsmen who had come to take refuge. They were not very reliable, so they could only be stationed in military forts outside the city, and they did not dare to let them enter the city.

But now Langxiao Town occupies the two cities of Ningyuan and Zhenyuan, so the defensive pressure is even greater.

However, the surrender of the Guanning cavalry and the surrender of a large number of Ming troops to the Qing army also caused a large number of soldiers and civilians in Liaodong to flee to Ningyuan and Zhenyuan.Some surrendered Ming troops who retreated to Liaodong also defected, which made the number of soldiers and horses in Langxiao Town suddenly swell to nearly [-].

But Yu Ji and the others didn't know whether these troops and soldiers and civilians were reliable. They even knew that according to the previous Qing army battles, those soldiers and civilians who fled must be mixed with a large number of Qing army traitors, and they were Han traitors. If you dare to trust anyone completely, you can only let them be stationed outside the city.

But these people had to accept it. After all, most of these people did come to surrender to the Daping Army.Moreover, with the expansion of the population, the rate of consumption of food and grass has also become rapid.So now Yu Ji and the others seem to be sitting on the crater of a volcano, not to mention going out of the city to "grass the valley" and farm the fields. Every day they are guarding against a possible rebellion, which makes them all tense up.So Yu Ji reported urgently every day, asking Wu Shigong for reinforcements. (To be continued..)
