Chapter 369: Punish the Eighteen Clans
In the camp, a huge sand table was carried in and placed in front of everyone.
Compared with the parallel map, the sand table has a great advantage, the geography of the mountains and rivers can be seen at a glance, and the layout of the enemy and the enemy can also be well understood, which is convenient for arranging troops.
Yang Qili of the Intelligence Department drew his sword, drew a false picture in front of the sand table, and introduced: "According to the night of the front, the Qing army has arranged two artillery arrays on both sides of the Hunhe River, and the number of Hongyi cannons and Furang cannons is no less than 500, which are in the hands of Kong Youde. ”
Kong Youde was almost removed from the prince after the last fiasco, because the artillery of the Tianwu Army was too fierce, Huang Taiji had to reuse him, and gathered all the remaining artillery of the Qing Dynasty, arranged it on both sides of the Hunhe River, and handed it over to Kong Youde's command.
It is said that Kong Youde learned the lesson of the last time, and also set up sandbag bunkers around the artillery, and dug three trenches in front of him to prevent being hit by the artillery of the Tianwu Army.
When he heard the three words Kong Youde, Xu Sheng's eyebrows showed a trace of coldness, and his right hand gradually clenched, his father Xu Congzhi, the governor of Shandong, was killed by Kong Youde's artillery in the Denglai Change.
Yang Qili continued: "Jiannu is mainly based on the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, Zhenglan Banner, and Blue Banner, as well as the Mongolian Two Yellow Banners, Two Red Flags, Four Banners of the Han Army, and the newly organized Eight Banners and New Battalion, with a total number of no less than 200,000. ”
The generals in the tent were in a heavy mood, only to know that the Tartars actually had so many soldiers and horses arranged in front, especially so many artillery, and this battle was simply who lost and who was finished.
Sun Chuanting was a little worried: "There are too many artillery pieces of slaves, and artillery arrays are arranged on both sides, even if you spend a lot of money to defeat the south bank, the north bank will cause a lot of damage to our army." ”
The generals were deeply touched, this is simply a double-cannon general, how many people have to die if they want to defeat them.
Hong Chengchou does not advocate attacking Shengjing, as long as the Taizi River is the boundary, the Ming Dynasty can stick to it, and wait for a few years to recover its vitality and then annihilate Jiannu in one fell swoop, now even if Shengjing is laid, at most it will hurt Jiannu's vitality, and it is a little unrealistic to want to completely destroy it!
In fact, Hong Chengchou also has a careful thought in his heart, after Jiannu is disabled, as the governor of Jiliao, he will definitely be stationed in Liaodong, as long as the crown prince leaves, the following war will be dominated by him, and the great merit of completely destroying Jiannu will also fall on his head......
Zhu Cihong stopped the discussion and said: "Now we are the main attacker, holding the initiative, on both sides of the Hunhe River, their artillery array is arranged in front of Shengjing City, then we will not fight from that side, move thirty miles south from Fuzhenbao to march, the palace does not believe that their thousands of pounds of artillery are also moving." ”
Zhu Cihong's eyes shot a sharp light, and he continued: "In this battle, our army must kill and injure the slaves and thieves to the greatest extent and destroy their living force!" ”
He pointed to the sand table in the tent and shouted: "Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji!" ”
The two immediately came out of the ranks, clasped their fists and shouted: "The last general!" ”
"The two of you lead the Tianwu Army to meet the enemy head-on in the middle of the army and march from Fuzhen Fort!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Cihong shouted again: "Wang Tingchen, Wu Sangui, Zu Dale!" ”
The three Liaodong generals responded and said: "The last general!" ”
"The three of you lead the army as the left flank to cover the main attack of the Tianwu Army!"
Zhu Cihong looked at the general soldiers of Datong, Shaanxi and Lintao, and shouted: "Jiang Xiang, He Renlong, Niu Chenghu!" You are right-wing! ”
"Cao Bianjiao, Tiger Dawei!"
"When the army is decisive, you two will immediately lead the elite cavalry to cross the Hunhe River around the far north and attack them from their flanks!"
Zhu Cihong completed the arrangements one by one, and divided the combat area, and finally said: "After the start of the war, there is no distinction between primary and secondary, and people from all walks of life can attack the main attack, and those who take the lead in landing on the north bank to break through Shengjing will be knighted!" All departments must be united in one voice, support each other, and do not sit on the sidelines! ”
"The last general commands!"
I heard that everyone was knighted, and everyone was like being beaten with chicken blood.
Zhu Cihong said: "The palace is now bluntly saying that the army's grain and grass are only enough for one month, and we must end the war within half a month!" ”
There is no way for him to be so honest, the news in the court can't be hidden at all, so it is better to say it quickly, so as not to let the people of each battalion guess there and affect the morale of the army.
Military generals are controlled by civilian officials, especially the supply of food and salary, which is completely controlled by civilian officials, and military generals worry about grain and grass every day, and have no choice but to talk to civilian officials.
Zhu Cihong said again: "Pass the order, send half a month's worth of grain and grass to all battalions, if anyone dares to disobey the order and be greedy for ink, kill all of them, and destroy their three clans!" ”
The whole big tent suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at the crown prince who was calm in his words, and then remembered that this was the god of killing, who had once beheaded a stack of commanders.
The eyes of everyone in the tent were full of frightened looks, and Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, and other civil officials felt a chill surging in their backs.
Zhu Cihong's expression was extremely serious, and he said: "Finally, this palace reminds that this battle is related to the situation in Liaodong, and it is also related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes to save him and runs to Europa, the palace will destroy its eighteen tribes! ”
Everyone's faces are wonderful, only the Son of Heaven can destroy the nine tribes, and you can destroy the eighteen tribes......
Fang Zhenghua couldn't help coughing violently a few times, signaling Zhu Cihong to keep a low profile, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, these words will go down in history, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to your reputation in the future......
Emperor Chengzu punished Fang Xiaoru and the ten clans were scolded by some people as tyrants, and the ten clans were not explicitly ordered by Emperor Chengzu, but the tenth clan was stubbornly counted.
Now that the crown prince has personally said that he has punished the eighteen clans, if this spreads, the scholars of the world still don't know how to make up stories, maybe you will be written as the first tyrant in the past and present in the future......
Zhu Cihong glanced at him, and said indifferently: "This palace is not as merciful as my father, this palace likes to kill people, kill those who are disloyal and unjust, and bring disaster to the country and the people. ”
When it was over, Zhu Cihong said coldly: "I, Zhu Cihong, have always paid attention to the rules in my actions, so why do I need to explain to others?" ”
The civil and military officials present were all intimidated by Zhu Cihong's momentum, and secretly said that this prince is terrible, I am afraid that it will not be easy to be so domineering in the future, but I am afraid that he is a figure like Emperor Taizu, and he will be red-eyed.......
The generals of the Tianwu Army only felt that their blood was boiling, this is their fearless crown prince, who in the world can be the best?
Hearing Zhu Cihong say that he likes to kill disloyal and unrighteous people, Liu Youneng, who was standing in the corner of the big tent, was frightened, and thought about it carefully, he is now loyal to the Ming Dynasty, it should not be considered disloyal and unjust, Huang Taiji They are .......
Thinking of this, he suddenly shouted: "The master is wise and powerful, and the slave is willing to follow the master forever and make contributions to the country!" ”
Everyone was startled, and they all turned their heads to look at Liu Youneng, who was still raising his arms and shouting.
"Who is this man?"
"I heard that this is Huang Taiji's brother Babuhai, who is now a servant of His Royal Highness the Prince, and has been given the surname Liu Youneng, who made great contributions in Liaoyang some time ago, and is going to be crowned a ........"
"Feng Bo? What luck this dog day........"
Everyone whispered a lot of discussions, but most people did not envy Liu Youneng, they knew that it was the normal operation of the imperial court for some dependent tribal leaders to be knighted, and now there were several knighted Mongolians in the Ming Dynasty, such as Dongningbo, Huairoubo, and Fuqiangbo, these hereditary titles.
The rarest thing in the Ming Dynasty is that the generals are knighted for their merits, and this kind of gold content is the highest, and it is also the biggest goal in the hearts of all generals.
Zhu Cihong was quite satisfied with Zhu Youneng's performance after surrendering, and his original mentality of being wary everywhere gradually relaxed, and he began a domestic slave cultivation plan, striving to make him a real good slave of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cihong pulled out his sword and shouted: "Serve the country with loyalty, kill slaves bravely, advance without retreat, and fight to the end!" ”
"Daming Wansheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
One by one, the generals were impassioned, shouting and roaring, and even Chen Xinjia, Qiu Minyang and other civil servants, and Fang Zhenghua, the old eunuch, were also infected and shouted.
Seeing the crowd boiling, Zhu Cihong showed a satisfied smile, and at the same time, he felt a little gloomy in his heart, I don't know how many iron-clad Ming soldiers sacrificed in this battle......
