Chapter 44: The Border Town Recovered
Balhalla grimaced as she looked at the cheers coming from Datong Town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is June 26, 276 of the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongolian army outside Datong Town is slowly shrinking. At the same time, another of his weird teammates also gave up on attacking.
When he received the news from the Ningwu Pass, Balhalla couldn't help but sigh: "The news of the Shun army is not slow, and besides, I am afraid they have already made a decision......
In the south of Datong Town, in Ningwuguan, in the military camp of the Shun army, a big event is happening.
Ren Jirong led the Shun army and suddenly stopped fighting. He ordered all his troops to return to the camp, and strictly ordered them not to engage the Ming army again. The generals of the various departments were confused, but they still accepted the order.
Only Zhang Neng in the rear camp was not angry, and he rushed into the handsome tent of the Shun army with great momentum, wanting to see Ren Jirong.
Ren Jirong did not refuse, he sat on the top of the tent, watching Zhang Neng come violently, his voice was as high as if he could open the tent with a sound, and the outer guards on the other floor were buzzing: "General Ren!" Why did you suddenly order our troops to be withdrawn? Why, our department has just climbed to the top of the city to fight with the officers and soldiers, and it is the smoothest time, seeing that this time we can occupy the city wall in front of us and end this tragedy that has been attacked for thirty-three rounds. But why, why do you want to ...... Cause...... Harvest...... Soldier! ”
Ren Jirong was unmoved, immersed in a trance, so that Zhang Neng's lion roar skill had no effect at all, making him stunned, as if he had automatically blocked the roar in front of him.
"Ren Jirong!" Zhang Neng strode over, pressed his hands on the table, and looked at Ren Jirong.
Seeing this, Ren Jirong's guards rushed over one after another: "Don't be rude to my general!" ”
There was a bang, and countless sounds of knives were drawn.
Hearing the voice, Zhang Neng's guards outside also quickly drew their swords to confront each other.
There was a shuddering silence in the air, as if it were a powder pile that was just the last spark needed to explode and destroy everything.
Such a big movement finally woke Ren Jirong up.
He looked at Zhang Neng in front of him and said in a trance: "Oh, Zhang Neng." You're here to ask about the discharge...... Right? It's just that it doesn't matter if you retire or not, it's not important......"
Zhang Neng laughed angrily: "Ren Jirong, are you suffering from some kind of dementia or are you pretending to be a fool?" This critical joint, don't you think about increasing troops to help me take Ningwu Pass in one fell swoop, but what do you say is not important? In front of our army, even if there is a big thing, it is not as important as this to capture Ningwu Pass! Since you dare to mess with your life, don't blame me for going to Shuai to complain! ”
Li Guo was the commander of the rear camp, crossing the Yellow River in northern Shaanxi, and let Zhang Nengxian lead a main force in front, and he led the main force and the baggage to walk slowly behind. Otherwise, there is still only one soldier and horse in the attack on Ningwuguan at this moment. At this moment, come slowly, count the days, and it's almost here.
But Ren Jirong didn't mean to be frightened at all, he cleaned up his mood, looked at Zhang Neng in front of him, and showed a little mockery: "What if the emperor dies?" ”
"What if the emperor dies?"
"What if the emperor dies?"
……
Silence returned to the room.
As if there was an echo, this sentence kept lingering in Zhang Neng's mind, he was stunned for a moment, stunned, his body was motionless, looking at Ren Jirong in front of him, his face was full of disbelief: "You say...... What did you say? ”
"The Emperor is dead." Ren Jirong lost his sex to joke about this impulsive and angry brave general, he sighed and said: "The emperor fought with the main force of the official army of the imperial army in Luzhen, and was defeated and died in the first battle, and the middle camp, the front camp, and most of the battalion or so collapsed, and the whole army was wiped out. General Liu Zongmin, General Liu Rukui was killed in battle, and Li Yan and Xie Junyou were all captured...... At present, the official army has penetrated deep into Shanxi, the first battle of Pingdingzhou was broken, and Ma Chongxi of Taiyuan surrendered without a fight. You're going to look for a handsome, that's average. I'm afraid it's too handsome at the moment...... is also trapped in Taiyuan, there is no way to continue, even if you are lucky to escape, you can't take care of us. Facing the enemy in the south, this Ningwu Pass can't be defeated. At this critical juncture, do you tell me not to withdraw the troops and continue to sprinkle the blood of the soldiers in this doomed useless place? ”
"The emperor died...... The main force was defeated...... How is it possible, how is it possible! Ren Jirong! Zhang Neng roared angrily and said, "If you dare to make up military information, you can't be spared if you are too handsome!" ”
"I was too excited, I can spare you. Now that you are still condescending and humble, I will deal with you with military justice first! Less sprinkling on Ben, is it time for infighting? Ren Jirong's eyes flickered with cold light, staring at Zhang Neng, with murderous intent surging in his eyes.
Listening to Ren Jirong's words, Zhang Neng suddenly felt as if his backbone had been removed, muffled, with a straight face, and left without saying a word.
Looking at Zhang Neng's back, countless thoughts rose in Ren Jirong's chest, and finally turned into an unwilling expression: "It's time to do it......"
……
In Ningwu Pass, Zhou Yuji paced left and right: "Really? ”
"Nature is true! Not only that, Qi Xian led the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Guards Regiment to break through the Tartar invasion of Xuanfu Town, and is now rushing to Datong Town in the starry night! When Datong Town and Qi Xian expel the Qing army, my Ningwuguan will be safe! It was Zhou Yuji's general Wen Xiuhe who spoke.
This sturdy and sturdy general surnamed Wen is Zhou Yuji's deputy, and when the news of the north comes at this moment, his eyebrows and eyes are full of joy.
"Qi Xian's 3rd Infantry Battalion...... I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. Zhou Yuji muttered and shook his head.
Seeing that Zhou Yuji's reaction was a little strange, Wen Xiuhe asked, "Chief soldier, what didn't you expect?" ”
"I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to have such a brilliant victory. It is enough to compare you to the famous generals of the past dynasties, it is really born out of thin air, and I have brought the master of Zhongxing to the Ming Dynasty! After Zhou Yuji finished speaking, his face was still full of joy: "You must know that every battalion head is a real army, two or three thousand strong soldiers, and it is more powerful than the ordinary 10,000 real border troops." The Holy Lord actually sent an infantry battalion to relieve the danger between Xuanfu and Datong, which was equivalent to tying the three fingers of one of his hands. Rao is like this, or he defeated Li Zicheng's army of 100,000. What kind of ability is this, what kind of ability is this? ”
"This skill ......" Wen Xiuhe's face turned red, and he thought of more than a dozen adjectives in a row, but still couldn't think of a suitable one, and finally said highly: "After all, it is a stronger skill than anyone in the world, and more than the thief and chieftain!" ”
"Hahaha, that's right. With such a clear master, why worry about the thief. Right now, the southern land should have also received the news of Li Zicheng's death. Even if you don't receive it, it doesn't matter......" Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "Let's pass a message to them and help them cure their deafness!" ”
"Great, finally give our Shanxi town a sigh of relief!" Wen Xiuhe laughed, as if he had regained ten years of youth.
The next day, the official army went into battle, and defeated the Shun army Zhang Nengbu in the first battle, forcing the Shun army to retreat a hundred miles south.
On July 1, 276 of the Ming Dynasty, Li Guo led the main force of the rear battalion to retreat to Shaanxi to strengthen the defense of the Yellow River. Hearing this news, Ren Jirong killed 17 generals of the rear battalion such as Zhang Neng in the name of rewarding the army, and led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to surrender to Zhou Yuji.
At the same time, seeing that the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty was calmed down, the Qing army, which could not find the opportunity, also quietly retreated, and did not know when it disappeared from the Ming army's field of vision.
Only a young man from Zhenqiang Fort quietly jumped out of the grass of the grassland, covered the mouth of one of Xiao Jie's Mongolian soldiers with a knife, and stabbed him in the neck.
Not long after, there was a corpse tied with stones in the river.
The corpse was all ****, and his clothes appeared on a young man named Lu Ze.
The Qing army that left the territory of the Ming Kingdom seemed to have experienced a lot of chaos, and the robbers who did not grab enough prey were dissatisfied with each other, in order to suppress the dissent of the generals under his command, the commander of the Qing army, Zhenghuang Qigushan Ezhen Tulai, deliberately disrupted the order of the various departments, so that no one recognized a strange soldier with a masked face.
The Qing army seemed to be in a hurry, and Tulai's expression was very serious, urging them every day to kill them all the way to the east.
Most Mongolians do not recognize geography and are not familiar with this unfamiliar place.
But there is one person inside and outside, and this is the fake Mongol soldier Lu Ze.
As a soldier of Zhenqiang Fort, Lu Ze still remembers Deng Laifu's feelings when he told about the geography of mountains and rivers.
"This is the mouth of the Yellow Cliff. Sixty miles north of Jixian County, in the mountains and mountains. There are eighteen piers in Jizhou City, which is the most important one. When Grandpa Qi was guarding Ji Town, it was rebuilt here, especially ...... Two years ago, when the captive chief Abatai invaded my Daming, he passed from here! ”
……
"The Holy One said that it was too late, and it makes sense." On the Bohai Sea, the sea is calm, and the huge ships walk on it, which is flat and reassuring.
It was Xu Wen, the chief general of the Ming Royal Naval Division, who directly belonged to Zhu Cihong who was directly under the Ming Dynasty.
The leader of the team was Qi Yuan, the captain of the Dengzhou, and the transport ships escorted by the Dengzhou and other large and small warships were all majestic, even if they were dangling on the water for more than ten days, they were still in good spirits and could fight at any time. This is the Marine Corps of the Marine Corps directly commanded by Zhu Cihong.
And their target is Liaodong.
Starting from Dengzhou City, he took the transport fleet all the way and walked along the sea for 1,200 miles, and finally arrived in Liaodong. After arriving here, the fleet suddenly stopped walking close to the coast, but hid its tracks in the middle of the Bohai Sea, and after two or three hundred miles, it approached the shore after seeing a large island.
This is Juehua Island.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was development here, and there was a mouth for the island. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, because of the obvious low cost of the sea route, it became a base for the Liaodong military to hoard grain.
In the era of Sun Chengzong, he not only operated the construction and defense of Ningyuan City, but also operated the grain hoarding and boat master of Juehua Island. After the fall of Guangning, the imperial defense was focused on Ningyuan City, and the grain storage was focused on Juehua Island.
Juehua Island has one main island and three small islands, namely Mopan Island, Zhangshan Island and Yanshan Island. There is a grain hoarding city on the island, which is about 500 meters long from north to south, about 250 meters wide from east to west, with a wall height of about 10 meters and a bottom width of about 6 meters. There is a gate on the north wall, which leads to the port outside the city, which is a passage for the transportation of grain and equipment; There are two gates on the south wall, which communicate with the dragon's neck, which is convenient for the island to come and go; There are no doors on the east and west walls, which is conducive to defense. There are grain hoards, stockpiles and the remains of barracks for officers and soldiers defending the city, as well as a drainage ditch running from north to south.
Not only that, there are also sailors on Juehua Island, and after Liaodong surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty with Wu Sangui, the sailors also changed their flags and returned to the banner of the Qing Dynasty.
Because this is the key to defending Liaodong in the past, it is not only an important place used by the Ming officials and soldiers to transport grain. Even the Qing people later occupied it, and they still attached great importance to this place, and still transported grain here, and they had to follow the river of Tianjin all the way in.
And it seems that in this era, no one could have imagined that one day, the enemy would come from the sea......
Stab a seemingly unbeatable giant in the throat.
……
Zu Dale stood on the main island of Juehua Island, letting the fishy sea breeze blow on his face, which calmed his heart a little.
He would never have imagined that their ancestral family in Liaodong would join the army, defend the frontier for the Ming Dynasty, and kill countless enemies, but one day they would stand in the same place and become the general of the former enemy.
Everything on Juehua Island seems to have not changed, what has changed is only their belonging.
The banner of the Ming Dynasty was gone, and it was the banner of the Qing army that was exchanged. The former Ming generals became the generals of the Qing Dynasty, and the people of the Ming people on Juehua Island now became the Qing people.
It is ironic that the production of these Ming people will eventually feed and kill their enemies.
Just when Zu Dale was blowing the sea breeze in the corner of the main island, the mountains were full of his own soldiers. They ran everywhere, shouting loudly for their commander, and finally found Zu Dale in this corner.
Looking at his anxious subordinates, Zu Dale felt very strange: "Zu Sanyong, you came here in a hurry to find me, what is the urgency?" ”
Since it became the command of the Qing people, it has really not heard of war for a long time.
The leading soldier said: "General, it is the secret letter of the head of the family!" ”
The head of the family mentioned by the pro-soldier is obviously referring to the ancestor Dashou.
When Zu Dale heard this, his expression became much more serious, and he hurriedly went over to open it. Just as soon as he saw it, he was stunned: "How could it be ......?"
At this time, Zu Sanyong suddenly trembled and said, "General...... Look at the sea! ”
On the sea, countless ships poured in. Mighty and dense.
Capital.
The Guards Corps approached the east for more than 50 li, and the reason was that the Qing army seemed to be in order to express its sincerity in negotiating peace, and took the initiative to retreat 50 li after Hong Chengchou entered the city.
This distance has already withdrawn from Tongzhou.
The siege of the Jingshi has been lifted!
Castle ...... But the voice of peace quietly rose.
This time, the crowd didn't have much opinion.
"After all, it's a slave who wants peace......
"Most of the so-called peace negotiations are mostly Tartars pressing our China to fight, making my Chinese country bend its knees and sue for peace. But now that the enemy is suing for peace, isn't this also a grand event? ”
"China has been peace-loving since ancient times, and I heard that Jiannu is interested in withdrawing from Liaoxi, and it is also a good thing that peace can restore the territory of 100 miles, wow......" (To be continued.) )
