Chapter 650: The Qing Army Enters the Prison
At the end of August, the overwhelming Qing soldiers crossed the fortified city of Taiyuan and fought until Pingyang Prefecture, but there was no posture of collecting troops and returning home.
Chongzhen received hundreds of urgent letters and blew up his lungs, and the Duke of Liao warned half a month before the Qing army launched an attack, and the imperial court also took a series of deployments, why was he still beaten in by Jiannu?
The ministers were also furious, and they impeached Hong Chengchou's corpse and lost his ground, and impeached Yang Sichang for being incompetent and embarrassing.
At this time, the Liao State Gong had a note to be delivered, in order to show prudence, Zheng Zhihui, the eunuch of the supervising army, personally returned to Beijing to present the emperor, and Zheng Zhihui also had a task to solve the doubts for the Son of Heaven.
The content of the note is very simple, Huang Han suggested that the imperial court stick to the inner Great Wall, believing that by resolutely blocking the Jiannu on the periphery of Gyeonggi, it would be able to achieve victory against the invasion of the Qing army.
The imperial court could not afford to lose sight of one or the other, let alone send troops to fight for the places that had already been plagued by Jiannu, and finally led to the land of Gyeonggi being ravaged by Jiannu again.
The biggest reason is that the vast majority of the northern territories have been repeatedly destroyed by slaves and rogues, resulting in complete destruction of production and making the people miserable.
Of course, Huang Han could not see the fragile balance of the entire north being broken, so he made this decision and did his best to defend the northern Zhili, striving to stabilize at least five or six million people in this area.
The emperor did not say a word, he instructed Zheng Zhihui to read the Liao Gong Song to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military at the time of the Great Dynasty meeting, and then asked for advice.
Liu Zhilun, the left attendant of the military department, has analyzed and drawn conclusions based on a number of reports from Shanxi.
The invasion of Jiannu was unprecedented, with nearly 200,000 men and horses, of which the cavalry regular army would not be less than 120,000.
The defense line of the Great Wall has been breached, and unless the "Red Banner Army" is sent to help, there is currently no way to stop the Qing army's attack.
At present, the only way to reduce losses is to defend the land of Gyeonggi according to the danger, and the area that has been broken through can only choose to use the cities one by one to consume the sharp energy of the Qing soldiers.
Liu Zhilun agreed with Huang Han's suggestion, and went out to play the right class, he said: "Dongnu's troops this time are different from the past, there are more than 160,000 people, and the vast majority of them are regular troops.
Ordering Xuanda and Shanshan to take the initiative to attack could not be done at all, and the minister thought that the military department immediately issued an order, and also asked the emperor to issue a holy decree to let all the Ming troops cooperate in the nearby defense of the prefecture and county.
The death order was issued, and those who defended the city were rewarded for their merits, and the civil and military generals who abandoned the city and fled were raided and exterminated. The generals who stick to the inner three passes must live and die with the city.
The Great Wall of Jizhen has a "Red Flag Army" stationed to confirm that it is foolproof, and the north of the Beijing division is worry-free. The minister asked him to lead the men and horses of Changping, Miyun, and Liangxiang to strictly guard the Yellow River and ensure that Dongnu could not break into Gyeonggi from the south. ”
Liu Zhilun was promoted to the left squire of the military department, holding great power, and his family Ding Tieqi could not be disbanded, and now this 1,200 soldiers who dare to fight are led by Liu He and are now stationed in Miyun.
Liu Quan is now a general of Miyun Shi, with less than 2,000 men and horses in his hands, and the empty money he eats is reserved for the ironclad family Ding team to support the Liu family.
Liu Zhilun ordered the garrisons in several places to be familiar to him, all of them were the soldiers who followed him in the past to garrison Zunhua, and the imperial court negotiated with Huang Han about the Liao salary and the defense area, and the original garrison was naturally replaced by the "Red Flag Army", at this time this Biao had nearly 20,000 men and horses to maneuver.
It was Liu Zhilun who stepped forward again, and the emperor thought of the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, and thought of Liu Zhilun, who was in the disdainful eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces at that time, and asked to lead the troops to fight with Jiannu, and couldn't help but reveal his true feelings.
Chongzhen was worried that he would lose such a loyal and capable minister, so although he agreed to Liu Zhilun to lead the troops, he sent Fang Zhenghua as a supervisor for the sake of safety.
Sending Fang Zhenghua was not to make him an empty prison army, but to hand over to him the Jingying men and horses, a total of 10,000 horses and horses of a Jinyi guard, to fight together.
Chongzhen was worried that Fang Zhenghua and Liu Zhilun were greedy for merit and broke the men and horses guarding the Beijing Division, and strictly ordered them not to cross the Yellow River to fight with Jiannu.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty realized that the problem was very serious, and the Liukou in Shanxi, Henan, and Huguang were still rampant, and the Ming army could not even defeat the Liukou.
The general of the conquest bluntly stated that the Ming army could not go into battle, and the only way to do so was to issue a death order to let the civilian and military generals in the area where Jiannu passed through hold the city, so as to reduce the losses as much as possible and wear down the morale of the Qing soldiers.
Although this may seem negative, it is very realistic, and now there is a layout of 30,000 men led by Fang Zhenghua and Liu Zhilun to strengthen the Yellow River defense line to secure the land of Gyeonggi, which has made many people feel at ease.
Chongzhen's nine-year liukou has been making a lot of trouble near Zhongdu, Gao Yingxiang, Lao Huihui, Chuang Collapse, Luo Rucai and other thieves besieged Luzhou, and divided the way to lay Hanshan, Hezhou, and then entered the siege of Chuzhou.
Lu Xiangsheng led more than 10,000 people from his direct lineage, the Tianxiong Army, and the guerrilla Luo Dai's men and horses to rescue Chuzhou, and launched a big battle at the Wuli Bridge in the east of the state city, killing the earth and shaking the mountains.
The Tianxiong army showed its might, under the personal leadership of Lu Xiangsheng, the thieves of the battalion for dozens of miles were knocked out of their courage and fled in a swarm, and the dead bodies of the rogues and homeless people filled the ravine, and the Chushui was cut off.
"King Lu Yan" showed his might again, the rogue was full of heart and gall, originally greedy enough to want to cross the Yangtze River, the extravagant hope of harming the splendid Jiangnan was disappointed, and another swarm of bees flowed westward, Lu Xiangsheng led the men and horses to chase and chase until Bozhou.
Lu Xiangsheng, who was preparing to expand the results of the battle, received a holy decree, and the emperor ordered him to lead his men and horses to defend Luoyang and Kaifeng, and never let the king of the Ming Dynasty fall into the hands of Jiannu.
The responsibility was heavy, and Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to delay for a moment after receiving the order, and finally entered Luoyang City before the arrival of the Qing army.
The Qing soldiers went out of Shanxi and entered Henan and broke into Shaanxi, running rampant.
Several times I met Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui and other thieves, and the red gangsters issued orders not to attack any Ming Liukou.
The slave chief is here to rob the Ming Dynasty, not to kill the rogues for the Ming Dynasty, and the enemy's enemies should be friends!
The Red Gang is still very proud, and he despises the Liukou from the bottom of his heart, and he is not so lowly as to send a messenger to try to contact the Liukou.
However, the Liukou did not know the goodwill of the Qing soldiers, and they did not know that the Qing soldiers had come to hundreds of thousands, and there were actually encounters in which hundreds of Qing soldiers were killed and wounded.
Seeing that the rogues didn't know what to do, the Qing soldiers were furious, and thousands of cavalry were attacking, and the rogues of the seventy-two battalions of the thirteen families were certainly not enough compared with the kings of cold weapons in the world today, and they were beaten to the ground.
The Liukou, who had suffered a loss, was educated by the Qing soldiers, and when they heard the rumbling of horses' hooves from afar, they hurriedly went up the mountain into the forest to hide.
Fortunately, the Qing soldiers were reluctant to deliberately kill in order to disperse, and they would not chase after them, so although the rogues were defeated and lost, the losses were limited.
