Chapter 555: Dilemma

Previously, Huang Taiji expelled Lin Dan Khan and won a huge victory strategically, so that the entire southern Mongolia of Mo was all fallen, and all of them were submitted to the Later Jin, and by the way, all the important towns in the north of the Ming Dynasty were placed under the direct threat of the Later Jin.

After Huang Taiji was directly killed by Chen Xin's long-planned raid, there was a certain degree of unrest in the Mongol tribes, and several large tribes threw out some bait to test Houjin's strength.

Under the thunderous blow of Dolgon, the hearts of the people who had been in turmoil quickly calmed down, and the Mongol tribes reunited under the command of Houjin. Although his mind was weird, he secretly began to dream in the same bed, but after all, they still got together.

And Dolgon, in order to encircle these Mongolian tribes who had returned, and also to make up for the forces that were disabled by the Huaxia army, followed the route formulated by Huang Taiji, and invaded the Xuanfu region of the Ming Dynasty again.

This time the attack on Xuanfu, the tactics of the Houjin army, in fact, were also lackluster, they did not even fight a decent battle, basically, it can be said that it was an armed march.

Even after officially entering the Xuanfu, Houjin relied on the reputation he had accumulated before. There was no resistance along the way. The nine-sided system of the Ming Dynasty is already rotten.

Although there was no war, the benefits obtained by the Houjin side were very rich, and the slave population captured by the various ministries was nearly 90,000 people, most of whom belonged to the Houjin Eight Banners. At this juncture of the confrontation with Huaxia, this is another powerful supplement to the Houjin manpower. With such a large population, it was only after Dolgon's heart that had been hanging a little that he let go a little.

According to Dolgon's thoughts, although Huaxia's military strength is strong and its combat power is extremely considerable, it is a newly built force after all, with insufficient population and weak stamina, and they are Dajin, which is close to Daming, and has also opened up several roads into Kou Daming.

In the future, as long as he loses people and horses, he can go to Daming to replenish them, and he doesn't believe that compared to the population and consumption, the newly built forces of a guy from Chen Xin can compare to their Dajin.

After returning to Liaodong, it was time to distribute benefits, and with the political capital accumulated before, as well as the great opportunity for Duoduo and Yue Tuo to be defeated in Fuzhou, Duoduo forcibly adjusted the new distribution ratio, and worked hard to suppress the other Baylor forces who wanted to compete with him for the position of the Great Khan.

Of course, when distributing, even if it is suppression, it cannot be too obvious, and there must be a certain distance and proximity.

is like his own brother Duoduo, although he is also a strong contender for the position of Great Khan, but, after all, the loss is too serious, and his prestige in the court is also greatly reduced.

Therefore, he gave the Zhengbai Banner Duoduo Division, which suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Fuzhou, a few hundred more middle-aged Dingkou, all of whom were captured Mongol riders, as well as hundreds of newly captured Jurchens.

It's a pity that after so many years, Duoduo has grown into a politician, even if he gets the most supplements, Duoduo is still screaming in the court, and the angry Dorgon almost wants to split this shameless brother.

The troops of the 1st Huaxia Mixed Brigade in Jinzhou achieved greater local superiority through the last Fuzhou Campaign.

After Yue Tuo led the troops to rescue Fuzhou, the total number of troops in Fuzhou City had reached as many as seven or eight thousand, not counting some of the clothes that Houjin had sent out with the army.

The food, drink, armor, clothing and other materials of so many men and horses needed to be supplied from the domestic region of Houjin, and when the heavy snow fell in winter and stained the earth, even the most basic means of transportation, horse-drawn carriages, could no longer be used.

Fortunately, after the river surface freezes hard in winter in Liaodong, you can use a climbing plow to transport materials on it, which can finally relieve a little bit of transportation pressure.

Duoduo, Yue Tuo, Dai Shan and others all wanted to reduce the logistical supply difficulties of Fuzhou City, hoping to withdraw their men and horses from Fuzhou City, but in fact, they just wanted their soldiers and horses to be freed from the quagmire of Fuzhou.

However, at this time, not far from the north of Fuzhou City, a transit station about 10 kilometers away suddenly encountered an attack.

A cavalry infantry company of the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Chinese Army stationed in Jinzhou infiltrated the bunker where the post station was located in the middle of the night, quietly killed the sentry, and then opened the gate, and the soldiers of the cavalry company swarmed in.

On the same day, there happened to be a team of Jurchen Eight Banners escorting grain and grass to rest at the post station, and together with the local Jurchen armor soldiers stationed there, they held the throat of the commanding heights of the post station.

The cavalry company of the Huaxia army quickly withdrew from the battlefield before dawn, and the Jurchen Eight Banners lost more than 40 men that night, and nearly 100 horses were robbed, and even dozens of climbing plows and grain stored in the bunker were all burned.

Recently, there have been many scattered attacks along the Fuzhou and Gaizhou lines, and the cavalry units of the Huaxia Army, with battalions and companies as units, often appear near the upper reaches of the Fuzhou River.

The forces under Duoduo and Yue Tuo were not enough to attack Jinzhou, which was garrisoned by the 1st Mixed Brigade, nor was it enough to defend against such a vast area as Fuzhou and even the Gaizhou region.

In order to guard against the attack of the Huaxia army, they could only send more cavalry to act as scouts, scattering around, fighting guerrilla attacks with the scouts in Jinzhou, and at the same time, they did not dare to reduce the garrison in Fuzhou City.

Before Huang Taiji was killed, he had already seen Houjin's weakness and began to reform it.

Logistics support is one of the aspects, in the past, the Houjin were each banner to take care of their own food, completely with the Ming army's guest army system of the same virtue.

The Ming army transferred troops from other places, and also needed to supply food from the original garrison guard, which was a very strange supply system, since Nurhachi in Liaodong made trouble, because the people and horses who aided Liao were stationed for too long, the military department changed to the system of unified supply with Liao's salary.

Because of the need to transport grain over long distances, the villages with Duoduo and Yuetuo banners stationed in Fuzhou are already complaining.

These other flags, along the way in Mongolia and the Xuanfu area of the Ming Dynasty, have gained a lot.

Of course, these men and horses who went out to fight for various flags would not hand over all their belongings to the public school, in Houjin, it was already an obvious rule to hide the spoils of war privately, and even the former Huang Taiji could only turn a blind eye, Chen Xin followed Amin into North Korea back then, and did this kind of thing.

The other banners have gone to Mongolia and Daming to make a fortune, but the part of the soldiers and horses left in the Houjin country has to fight tough battles here, and the family members have to paste the grain upside down, so the people and horses of these banners will naturally have opinions.
