Chapter 939 Huang Taiji: 1 people are enough, and it is estimated that they will not be used up...
The twilight fell from the sky, and the large undulating mountains were like giant dragons, dormant minions in the night, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, sprinkled countless cold moonlight, and the bonfires in the distance, white tents one after another Patchwork on the grassland.
Hauge stepped out of the military tent, staring at the rolling mountains in the distance, his beard as dense as steel needles swaying in the wind, and said to Yue Tuo beside him: "Brother, Xuanfu City is high and deep, and there are heavy soldiers Keep guard, it is not appropriate to break through, how about we still raid into Peiping from Dushikou?"
In fact, at this time, Jurchen's siege equipment already included Frang machine guns and bed crossbows. Of course, these two things have limited effects in the siege battle.
This is through plundering the military craftsmen of the great Han in Hebei and other places. In addition, the number of the Han army is not large, and there are about [-] schools, which have always been regarded as treasures by Huang Taiji. Hauge invited him several times before dividing into six schools. , used as a containment of the Han army.
Yue Tuo said: "The Xuanfu must have taken precautions. I will attack the Xuanfu first, and you will enter through Dushikou."
At this moment, there was a loud and noisy sound from the direction of the front camp, Hauge showed anger on his face, and was about to send someone to investigate the situation.
Not long after, a man with the appearance of a leader approached and cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the members of the Kang family asked to see my lord, saying that there is an urgent military report."
Hearing this, Hauge's face moved slightly, and he whispered, "Go and bring him here."
While talking, I saw a few Jurchen Banners leading a young man who looked like a young servant coming from a distance, saw Hauge, and said: "Young master, I have seen the prince."
Hauge frowned and asked, "A member of the Kang family?"
"The younger one is the entourage of the second young master of the Kang family, and the eldest young master is now leading the imperial merchant's errands in the Qing Dynasty's household department." The young servant was slightly afraid, and said hastily.
Yue Tuo's voice was indifferent, and he took over the conversation: "We know the Kang family, what are they talking about."
The young servant looked around, Yue Tuo looked at Hauge, and said softly: "Let's talk about it first."
Hauge nodded, knowing that this young man had a secret military report, he entered the military tent while speaking.
The young servant said: "This is a letter from my second son, saying that after the Marquis of Yongning arrived in Taiyuan, he killed Wang Chengyin, the chief soldier of Taiyuan, and now forcibly confiscated our master's rice grains. Mr. Jiang, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, has already objected."
As soon as this remark came out, Hauge and Yue Tuo looked at each other, and they both saw surprise on each other's faces.
Jiang Tuan had been in contact with them originally, but Jiang Tuan was obviously the commander-in-chief of the town. There was no major change, and he would not switch to the Jurchen.
"The second young master of my family said that the Marquis of Yongning killed the general without permission, and now the people in Xuanfu City are in panic. As long as the county king leads troops to the south, my city will respond immediately." The young servant said.
Haug said: "Go back and tell your second young master that our army will arrive in Xuanfu City in two days, and let him persuade Jiang Yu."
If he can take Xuanfu City without bloodshed, he will have made a great contribution whether it is with the father or the courtiers. The father has been dragging his heels for the past two years, is he just waiting for someone who can bring the Qing Dynasty to the throne? The hero of the Central Plains, She Ta Hauge, who else?
After dismissing the boy who reported the letter, Hauge looked at Yue Tuo at the side and said, "What do you think, brother?"
Yue Tuo pondered and said: "In this way, we send troops to Xuan Mansion and use war to prompt surrender. If Jiang Tuo surrenders, Xuan Mansion will be owned by the Qing Dynasty."
The soldiers and horses led by the two at the moment are only more than 3, but they have the courage to conquer the city.
Hauge paused, and cheered up: "Then send troops to the Xuanfu."
Just as Hauge was sharpening his sword and rushing towards the Xuanfu, Huang Taiji also led a large number of Jurchen soldiers to join the striker brothers Dorgon and Azige in the Keshiketeng tribe.
On this day, it was noon, and the sun of the first lunar month was not too harsh. It shone on the vast grassland, intertwined with withered yellow and fresh green, like an abstract oil painting.
Dorgon led the Han generals Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guangyuan, Wang Shixuan, Bayan and other generals to the outside of the military tent. Hearing the sound of galloping cavalry in the distance, he followed the sound and saw banners covering the sky like a forest , while the yellow dragon flag and the blue dragon flag gradually approached.
Huang Taiji was over 60 years old at the moment, his beard was a little gray, but his spirit was hale and hearty, and his cheeks were ruddy.
On the left are Han generals Zu Zerun, Liu Zhiyuan, Wu Shoujin, Jin Li, and several Baylors from Horqin Mongolia.
In addition, Fan Xiandou, Deng Changchun, Su Hongzu and other Han officials also accompanied them.
"Brother Huang." Dorgon stepped forward quickly, leading a group of Han generals to bow down to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji got off his horse, with a smile on his face, supported Dorgon with both hands and stood up, and said with a smile: "Fourteenth brother, you have worked hard."
Huang Taiji is getting old, although this time the Royal Commander is going to fight in person, but whether it is the Beiping line or the Xuanfu line, it will be fought by the Jurchen Prince and Baylor.
As for the annihilation of Harmony, it was presided over by the Dorgon and Azige brothers.
"Brother Huang has worked hard all the way, and the tent has prepared wine and meat. Brother Huang, go in and have a talk." Dorgon said.
Huang Taiji said: "Where is the twelve younger brothers?"
"Brother, he led the army to hunt down the remnant soldiers, and he has already fought with Ezhe's cavalry." Dorgon said.
Huang Taiji nodded, and then, greeted by Dorgon, entered the military tent.
Huang Taiji sat down on the main seat, and asked, "Where is Hudetaiji of Keshiketeng?"
At this time, a big Mongolian man with a burly figure, a horse face, and braids hanging down his ears, entered the military tent, put his palm on his chest, saluted Huang Taiji first, and then knelt down and said, "Hude has seen Huang Taiji." His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."
Unlike Naiman and Aohan, the two major Mongolian tribes, and the princes and Baylors of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties who often go out to fight, they are already familiar with each other, but Keshigten is somewhat unfamiliar.
Huang Taiji said: "Hudetaiji, please get up."
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "I'm still happy to hear Hu Detaiji call me the Great Khan."
Hu De was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious, and he called out: "Thank you, sweat."
Huang Taiji laughed loudly, and to the left and right, he praised: "Hude is an honest person."
Fan Xiandou, Deng Changchun and other civil servants all had smiles on their faces.
Now that Mongolia has another part, His Majesty is overjoyed. Waiting for Harmony to be flattened, the Qing Dynasty's cavalry will be allowed to ride thousands of miles away from the pass, and the Han will have no power to fight back.
After Huang Taiji laughed, he said in a low voice: "Fourteenth brother, has the Han army made any moves recently? Where is that Marquis of Yongning?"
Dorgon replied: "Brother Emperor, there is no military report from the Han army yet."
The smile on Huang Taiji's face gradually faded, and he said: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in a hundred battles. Now that the situation of the deployment and mobilization of the Han army's troops is unclear, how can we defeat the enemy?"
"Brother Huang taught you a lesson." Dorgon said, "However, the Han army has recently conducted a very strict investigation. I heard that the Han army marched out together, and there are about 10,000+ people. If you follow the marching speed, you should have reached Taiyuan Town. "
When Jia Heng was going north, he had already ordered the guards of the Jinyi Mansion to investigate the Jurchen spies throughout Taiyuan, Xuanfu and other places. After arriving in Taiyuan and Datong, he immediately rectified the military affairs and recruited the town generals. He was not in a hurry to divide the troops and show himself military deployment capabilities.
Because to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty in a parallel time and space, there were too many facts that were entrapped by pig teammates. You can’t just arrive in Datong. The enemy’s situation is unknown. Let’s send a cavalry army straight to the rear of the Jurchen. Behavior.
Therefore, the first thing to do is to concentrate military power, gather minions, take over Chahar Mongolia, and advance into Shengjing. The grand strategy is a bit of a joke.
Good fighters have no illustrious feats.
Huang Taiji's face was as indifferent as ice, and he whispered: "Should? Where did it go?"
Dorgon cupped his hands and said: "Brother Emperor, I have already sent people to investigate. I think there will be news soon."
"To find out the movement of the Han army, and send a letter to Hauge to lead the troops to attack the Xuanfu. After the Xuanfu fights, the movement of the Han army will be clear." Although Huang Taiji's hair is gray, he is clear-headed. Giving orders is still as loud as a bell.
Dorgon looked respectful, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said yes.
Huang Taiji came to the map on the desk table and said: "This Marquis of Yongning has already dispatched troops, and he will definitely not allow me to destroy Mongolia by the Qing Dynasty. The army will approach Datong, and beware of Ezhe fleeing south."
As he spoke, he called out, "Prince Zheng."
"Yes." Jierharang said.
"You lead the Xianglan Banner and the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army to attack Datong first, and cut off the escape route of Ezhe to the south! At the same time, be alert to the Han Army." Huang Taiji said.
Jierhalang's face turned serious, and he should agree with his hand.
Unlike after Jia Heng led the troops to Datong, there was no division of troops. Huang Taiji took the lead in dividing the troops and monitoring the soldiers and horses from the Datong Army Town to meet Chahar Mongolia.
Although there are only more than [-] people, there are less than [-] Jurchens, and they are invincible!
1 people are enough, and it is estimated that they will not be used up.
Huang Taiji thought so.
After finishing speaking with a blank expression, Huang Taiji ordered: "Tomorrow the whole army will pursue east along the river, and I will force Chahar Mongolia to return to Huacheng."
The Xilamulun River has always been the place where Chahar Mongolians lived by chasing grass, grazing along the vast grassland.
……
……
Just above the grassland, when Huang Taiji dispatched troops to deploy troops, Jia Heng also sent Xie Zaiyi to Xuanfu, and he himself was the iron cavalry to integrate Datong.
As time passed, under the leadership of Runan Hou Weiqi, the Jingying infantry in the rear had already arrived in Taiyuan with all their luggage, and Qi Jianhui, who had stayed in Taiyuan to rectify the "iron cavalry" left by Wang Chengyin, joined forces and led the troops to Datong .
Datong Fucheng
Jia Heng didn't stay idle either. While sending Jingying generals to accept Datong soldiers, he was accompanied by former Datong general Jiang Zining and Jingying generals to inspect the city defense of Datong City.
Datong City is three miles long from east to west, three and a half miles long from north to south, and has a circumference of 14 miles. It is about 54 meters high, with four gate towers and [-] watchtowers.
There are tall turrets on all four sides, with three stories high, which are mainly used to look out for the enemy's situation.
There is also the horse face, also known as the pier, which is a protruding part of the city wall. There is a regiment building on it to hide soldiers, mainly to shoot the enemy from the side and prevent the ladder from climbing.
Jia Heng is standing on the regimental building above the horse face at this moment, leaning on the railing and looking to the north, holding a telescope in his hand, he can see the endless grassland in the distance, either yellow or green, it is almost February now, spring The breath of the sky is approaching, and the sky is blue.
Seeing that Jia Heng was in a good mood, Jiang Zining on the side took the opportunity to say: "General, this city was quite dilapidated when he first arrived in Datong City. It was built in recent years."
This statement is a sign of merit.
In fact, he still has a hidden worry in his heart, that is, smuggling into the grassland. If the Marquis of Yongning knows about it, will he be punished for both crimes?
Jia Heng pressed the sword at his waist, turned around, and asked: "Datong guards the key points of the border and faces the enemy directly. The city defense weir work cannot be slack. How much money is allocated by the household department every year for repairs?"
When Jiang Zining heard the words, he felt a little happy, and he waited to ask this question, and said: "The household department has often evaded in recent years, and a lot of money has been allocated to Beiping and Jizhen, and there is only a little left in Datong."
At this time, the general Liang Ge said angrily: "The Ministry of Households is not enough to pay the military salary, and there is no one in the opposite side town. This is all done by General Jiang little by little."
Jia Heng looked at Jiang Zining, and said, "It may not be enough to rely on the money that has been withheld."
Jiang Zining was worried, and said in a low voice, "It's barely enough. The Datong prefecture and county provided some money and food. After all, the city walls haven't been too dilapidated over the years."
After the murderous words just now, Jiang Zining is now a little afraid that if he confesses the truth, he is afraid that the young man in front of him, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, will act with military law.
Jia Heng's face was as dark as water, without saying much, he glanced at Jiang Zining and said, "I'll see here today, let's go back first."
In fact, some things should not be taken too seriously. Qi Jiguang also bribed wantonly. For these generals, as long as there is no loss in the integrity, some mistakes and omissions should not happen now.
Surrounded by a group of generals, Jia Heng had just arrived at the yamen of the General Army when he heard a report from the guards of the Jinyi Mansion, and Ezhe sent an envoy to ask for help.
Under the fierce pursuit of Azige, Ezhe's vanguard troops had already suffered a defeat, and the situation on the grassland was extremely critical. Ezhe hoped that the Han army could go out as soon as possible to meet the old and young of the Chahar tribe to Datong.
Because the Chahar tribe not only has soldiers, but also some old and weak people. If these were plundered by the Jurchens, the Chahar tribe would definitely fall apart.
But at the same time, Chahar Mongolia proposed that the big Han send troops to join forces with Chahar Mongolia in Jining Haizi. This is Ezhe's condition.
Jia Heng knew that Chahar Mongol was still unwilling to completely attach himself to the big man, so he didn't give a reply for a while, thought for a while, and said to Li Shu: "Call all the generals to discuss the matter."
Yesterday, Xie Zaiyi had already gone to Xuanfu, and now the entire Jingying cavalry has a strength of [-] cavalry. If we add the [-] cavalry from Datong, it will be less than [-] cavalry.
Of course, Xie Jing led [-] cavalry troops from Taiyuan Town to follow. In terms of the number of soldiers and horses, it is hard to say that they have an advantage. Of course, the main purpose is not to fight Jurchen.
Now the order is consistent, and the rectification of Taiyuan and Datong towns has basically been initially realized. The so-called centralization and redistribution of power, who knows, will these people wait and see after the real fight.
After he arrived in Datong, except for Xuanfu, Taiyuan and Datong towns had all the soldiers and horses in his hands, so that he could enter the army with a little peace of mind.
Jia Heng sat behind the commander-in-chief, looked at the generals and said, "Ezhe just sent someone to ask for help again. The Pioneer Division has been defeated by the Jurchen Eight Banners elites. They intend to escort the old and the weak to Datong for a while. At the same time, Ezhe wants to In the decisive battle between Ning Haizi and Jurchen, we are invited to participate in the Han army, what do you generals think?"
In fact, Jining Haizi is not far from Datong, only about [-] kilometers away, and it can be reached in a day if you march fast.
The generals below heard the words, but their faces became solemn. This was the first time since the big man led the cavalry out of the fortress again after more than ten years, instead of passively waiting for the Jurchens to lead the army to attack.
No one dared to say whether this dispatch of troops would be dangerous.
At this time, a general of the Jingying camp cupped his hands and said, "General, our Jingying cavalry has not been trained for a long time after all, so we rushed out of the fortress. Once we confront the Jurchen, we may not be an opponent in a hurry."
This is actually the truth, Jurchen are all veterans of many battles, but the Beijing camp is so afraid of it for a mere hundred miles.
Jia Heng frowned secretly, but said nothing.
At this time, Song Yuan said: "General, can you let E Zhe send troops south to approach the Xuan Mansion and join our Datong army? The distance is not far, but it is only a day's journey."
At this time, the other generals also spoke one after another.
The general idea is that it is not easy to get out of the fortress, and if it is damaged, it will lose its vigor.
Jia Heng was noncommittal, but looked at the generals in Datong, and said: "Today is a military meeting, you can speak freely."
Liang Ge clasped his hands and said: "General Qi, E Zhe doesn't want to attach a big man. This is to make our Han army go to help him in the battle. Once the army loses, the general will lose his spirit."
Hearing the words, Jiang Zining struggled a bit, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Jurchen and Mongolian elites have roamed the grasslands for a long time, and our army's combat power is also much weaker. Once they encounter it, I'm afraid something will be unbearable."
Jia Heng said: "What you generals said is reasonable, but if our army does not go out of the fortress, let alone the fact that the Chahar Mongolian soldiers and tribes were annexed by the Jurchen, even if we take over part of the army, the Chahar Mongolian will not There is nothing left, and besides, we have all the elite cavalry, and we dare not even go to Mongolia, which is right in front of us, so how can we compete with Jurchens."
The generals were silent for a moment.
Jia Heng said: "Furthermore, Ezhe is unwilling to lead the troops to move inland. This transfer of troops also made him make up his mind to move to Datong."
He didn't say a word, or he wanted him to fight the Jurchen soldiers to the death to counter the pressure from Chahar Mongol.
"What the general said is true." At this time, Pang Shili said in a deep voice: "The country raises soldiers for thousands of days. We have also fought against Jurchen in the Jiangnan naval battle. They are not afraid of death. How have we ever been afraid of them?" life and death?"
This remark seemed to have inspired the morale of the generals in the Beijing camp, and everyone praised it one after another.
Jia Heng said: "The Marquis intends to lead an army of [-] and Datong's elite cavalry to join forces with [-] troops to join forces with Chahar, but we still need to be vigilant whether the Jurchen troops will besiege Datong."
At this moment, Xie Zaiyi had to go to Xuan Mansion, only if Xuan Da and Da were as safe as a rock, he could safely go to the alliance with Mongolia and fight against Jurchen's main force.
It is the strategic goal of the first stage to lead Chahar Mongolia to go south and enclose.
After Jia Heng finished speaking, he turned to ask, "Where is Qi Jianhui?"
"Back to General, General Qi will be back in two days." Jia Fang replied.
Jia Heng thought for a while, and said: "Prepare food and fodder, and go north tomorrow."
After the crowd dispersed, it was already noon, and Jia Heng returned to the back hall, staring at the map hanging on the screen in a daze.
Chen Xiao said: "What's wrong?"
"This is the first time since the reign of Chongping that the Han army has gone out of the fortress. It is of great significance." Jia Heng said in a low voice with a solemn expression.
The Jingying cavalry is also the only cavalry that can go out of the fortress, but if they encounter Jurchen, he can't say whether they can win in the field.
If you are defeated as soon as you encounter an enemy, then...
But the cavalry will always go to the grassland, this is the fate of the cavalry, and it has not been allowed to go hundreds of miles, but Jihaizi who is under his nose dare not go, I am afraid that Ezhe will laugh at the courage of the Han army and turn his head to vote Jurchen, if she is crowned Prince Chahar again, the situation in the entire northern Xinjiang will be completely destroyed.
As Cai Dongfan said: "As far as Chahar turns into Manchuria, the north of the Great Wall is all owned by Manchuria, and the Ming Dynasty is already hard to defend against. Even if Li Chuang didn't cause chaos, the Ming Dynasty can't do it."
Chen Xiao thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "There should be some latest news from the Jurchen side."
Jia Heng said: "I have sent dozens of sentinel riders. Once there is any movement of Jurchen, I will report it immediately."
In fact, there is some feeling of fog of war at this time.
Huang Taiji didn't know where Jia Heng's army was and planned to go north to join forces with Chahar and Mongolia. Although Jia Heng vaguely guessed that Huang Taiji would send troops to monitor Xuanda's Han army, he didn't know when the Qing army would split up. arrival.
And I don't know what will happen after the two sides fight.
Chen Xiaodao: "Xie Zaiyi went to Xuanfu, it's been so long, there should be some news."
Jia Heng nodded and said: "When he settles the matter of Xuanfu, there should be an urgent report, and Qu Lang is also there, so there should be no mistakes."
