Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 313 If I Don’t Hit Shengjing, I Swear I Will Not Be a Teacher
Lin Yi had long planned to attack the Manchu Tartars. He knew that the border troubles would not be eliminated, and the Ming Dynasty would not be peaceful. It is the Manchu Tartars outside the pass.

Regardless of the fact that Li Zicheng broke through Beijing, Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty perished from then on.This is only a superficial phenomenon. In essence, it was the Manchu Tartars who destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

If we look at the root cause, it was Emperor Chongzhen himself who destroyed the Ming Dynasty!
Now Ji Dong felt that the time was ripe, and he also had the strength.

Now in essence, the Ming Dynasty is already in his hands, with more than 50 soldiers and horses in his hands, that is to say, at least 50 soldiers and horses are under his command and dispatch.

These include Ma Shiying and his son who held Fengyang soldiers, Yuan Shu who held Henan soldiers, Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief stationed in Yongping, Huang Degong, the iron whip general, and Lu Jiude, the eunuch.

In addition, Zuo Liangyu, who was entrenched in Wuhan, and Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, the warlords in Shandong and Huainan, etc.

At least on the surface, these four warlords dare not make mistakes. Now they all listen to Lin Yi's command and recognize his status as the prince and grand master.Because they didn't dare to blatantly break with the prince, they led their troops upstream along the Yangtze River and went into Sichuan to attack Zhang Xianzhong.

Not to mention far away, the actual number of soldiers and horses in Shanhaiguan is close to 12. Now there are another 10,000+ troops divided into two groups. They have already gone to Sichuan to deal with Zhang Xianzhong. He is also more at ease in the capital. He led 10 soldiers to garrison the capital, foolproof.

The political power in the capital is handed over to those upright civil servants for the time being. The machine of the Ming Dynasty can still run forward. To govern the country, you must first secure the country, clean up disobedient warlords, punish corrupt officials, and benefit the people. This is of course a matter for the future.

The Li Zicheng Group has also been destroyed here, and the main enemy of the remaining Ming Dynasty is the Manchu Tartars, and it is time to show their swords against them.

Right now, he is gathering heavy troops in Shanhaiguan, taking advantage of the Manchu Tartars outside the pass to attack Shanhaiguan first, and the big traitor Wu Sangui surrendered to the Manchu Tartars again.

After clearing the Shanhaiguan battlefield, reorganizing the thousands of captives obtained, and taking care of the trophies, Ji Dong started to send troops, and there was no need to replenish ammunition and supplies. The trophies obtained in this battle were more than enough.

Just at this time, someone came to report that a large number of Qing troops were gathering here from Shengjing, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, Yizhou and other places, so Lin Yi decided to send troops outside the customs to start a frontal battle with the Tartars.

When Ji Dong fought against the Tartars in the past, he relied on sneak attacks to win by surprise and passive defense to find opportunities. This time he will take the initiative to attack.

This is because in the past, he was not strong enough and had few soldiers. Facing the powerful Manchu Eight Banners soldiers, he had no way to teach them on the frontal battlefield.

But it’s different now, if you want soldiers you have soldiers, if you want generals you have generals, if you want money you have money.He can even use the whole country's power to fight against the Tartars in the name of Ming Dynasty. He is going to turn into a counter-offensive, which Emperor Chongzhen could never do in his entire life.

When Chongzhen was alive, although the Ming Dynasty fought several large-scale battles against the Manchu and Qing Tartars, both sides won and lost each other.

But that was all forced defense, basically no active offense.In other words, it was the Manchu Tartars who came to invade, and they had to fight back and stand up to resist.

It’s different now, he’s going to leave the customs and go abroad, first take back Ningyuan and Jinzhou that belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and then settle accounts with these Manchu and Mongolian Tartars.

These years, the Ming Dynasty was like a sleeping lion. If the Mongol Tartars did not come, the Manchu Tartars would come. How could the Ming Dynasty be allowed to be bullied by these border barbarians?
From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and then to the Ming Dynasty, the country of the Han people for thousands of years, those who violate our territory will be punished even if they are far away. This has always been the rule. Now at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is still the world of the Han people. Tartar slaughter?

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you think it's a sick cat!

When Ji Dong imagined this, he became full of vigor and enthusiasm.

To clean up the Tartars outside the pass, he felt that 10,000+ elite soldiers would be enough, and of course he couldn't take them all out.

The terrain of Shanhaiguan is dangerous, and the pass of the Great Wall must be defended by heavy troops. You can't win at chess and ignore your family. Beware of the Tartars stealing their hands.

Now the strength of the Manchu Tartars should not be underestimated. Except for a few Mongolian tribes, the vast Monan Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia all belonged to the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the Moxi Mongolia has good relations with the Qing Dynasty, and its strength is strong. The Manchurian Tartars, and a large number of traitors and lackeys, followed these Tartars, including hardcore traitors Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, veteran traitors Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Tong Yangjia, and rookie traitors Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, etc. Human beings are literary or martial arts, and neither of them is an idle generation.

If you underestimate any of them, you may suffer a big loss.

Therefore, Lin Yi asked Ma Shiying and his son to stay and garrison Shanhaiguan City, which of course also included a piece of Shiguan City. More than 2 Fengyang soldiers were under their command.

Then let Yuan Shu lead 1 Henan soldiers, responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and replenishing ammunition and supplies for the troops.

Then Lin Yi led an army of 10 troops out of Shanhaiguan, and marched in the direction of Ningyuan.

When Lin Yi left the customs, he also thought of several Mongolian tribes outside the Great Wall. Under his own planning, these tribes had broken with the Qing Dynasty a few years ago and formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. They signed a military mutual aid agreement with Emperor Chongzhen. Entente, now is the time to use them.

Lin Yi sent Zhezhe to take a Mongolian cavalry with his own autographed letter to the Mongolian prairie.Let her go back to her natal home, which is Ongniud City, to meet her father-in-law Bayan Bushar, then go to the Chahar tribe to find her sworn brother Barun, and then go to the right wing of Tumer to meet the village lord Bashan. Let them contact these Mongolian tribes to send troops to assist Ming Dynasty in attacking Qing Dynasty.

After Zhezhe took the order, he took two personal maids and led a Mongolian female soldier cavalry and set off.

Lin Yi took Xiaoying and Gao Guiying, the deputy general of the women's battalion, out to see them off. Zhezhe secretly pulled Xiaoying aside, and said: "Sister, this trip will take at least a month. During this time, you have to take care of me." Brother Lin."

Xiaoying turned her mouth away, rolled her eyes a few times and said disdainfully: "Hmph, do you need to say that? Worry about the journey and take care of yourself!"

After Xiaoying finished speaking, she turned around and left, but Zhezhe stepped forward to stop her, and said seriously: "Sister, I am not joking with you this time, brother Lin likes to drink water at night, you must ensure that there is boiling water at night, and Lin Eldest brother likes to drink, you have to drink with him, and you can't let him drink too much, alcohol will hurt your health."

After saying these few words, Xiaoying stared at Zhezhe like a thief, secretly thought, so careful, no wonder Brother Lin likes her so much, and then nodded vigorously as if she understood something.

"Sister wrote it down, you can go at ease."

"This is my good sister."

Zhezhe said, smiling charmingly, flew on the horse and waved to Lin Yi and Gao Guiying, then whipped the horse and took more than 100 riders, and galloped away.

Lin Yi looked at her beautiful back, and finally disappeared on the horizon, and then he and Xiaoying, Gao Guiying, Song Xiance and others drove back.

Xiaoying came over on her horse, approached Ji Dong, and said slowly, "Brother Lin, don't you want to know what the two of us were talking about just now?"

Lin Yi smiled lightly, "That's your secret."

"Well, if you don't want to hear it, I don't want to say it yet!"...

"Report to the grand master that the Tartar army, with about 20 horses, is found 3 miles ahead and is approaching us."

"Oh, who is the commander-in-chief?"

"Back to the grand master, it was the two young generals who were typing. They didn't see the banners of Hauge and Dorgon, but there were shadows of the traitors Wu Sangui and Kong Youde."

Ji Dong nodded, sent Tan Ma away, and looked at Song Xiance.

Song Xiance smiled slightly, "This is their vanguard force. They want to start a field battle with us and use their own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. The grand master should be careful. In addition, the Tartars are cunning, and Dorgon's tricks behind him must be careful. .”

Lin Yi laughed loudly: "Field battle? Hehe, what you said is exactly what I want. This time, the grand master will compare his strengths with them. Come on, form a battle formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"
