Jinzhou, that is the gateway of Liaozhong, the key outside the gate, the channel for controlling the connection between the outside and the inside.In the war between the late Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the gains and losses of Jinzhou were directly related to the general trend of the world.If Jinzhou was in hand, although the Qing army broke through the wall several times and entered the Kou Pass, it could not occupy the pass.As soon as Jinzhou is lost, the Qing army can send troops to the Central Plains without any worries.In the first month of the twelfth year of Longwu, Zhao Ming led more than 20 generals such as Xie Qian, Zhang Guangcui, Li Yuanyin, and Ruan Jin, as well as 30,000 people from Wu Yuejun and Jiangbei Army, to jump across the Daling River and march to Jinzhou.After the Qing army withdrew from the Guanwai, the Qing army was very lacking in the western Liaoning corridor, and the defense was a mess.As soon as Wu Yue's army entered Liaoxi, he made a big publicity, claiming that Zhao Ming, the king of Wuyue, was the army of tigers and wolves, and falsely claimed that the army was 100,000 and collected Liaoxi.Originally, Zhao Ming felt that it was a fraudulent claim, and it was better to claim 300,000, but in the end, he was worried and scared Fulin and Azig, afraid that they would abandon their prejudices and unanimously call it 100,000.As soon as Wu Yue's army entered western Liaoning, it was like a flood washing the earth, the Qing army in the strongholds in western Liaoning fled when they heard the news, the outposts and strongholds on the west bank of the Daling River were all abandoned, and the army retreated into Jinzhou, or fled to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and Jinzhou was shaken.Zhao Ming immediately drove the troops, killed under the city of Jinzhou, and surrendered to the city, ordering the defenders to surrender within one day, otherwise the chickens and dogs would not stay.At the head of Jinzhou City, a general wearing white armor and a lightning rod on his head was standing on the edge of the battlement, looking at the Wu Yue army camped outside the city with frowns.This person is in his fifties, with a mighty appearance, big eyes and beards, and the appearance of a Yan Zhao man.At this time, he grabbed the city wall with one hand, pressed the waist knife with the other, and smashed his mouth with a toothache on his face, "Damn, Zhao Zamao is really good at picking the time, and killing it now is really taking advantage of people's danger!"
”This person is the Qing Han Army's white flag Gushan Shi Tingzhu, around him, the Manchu civil and military who stayed in Jinzhou, without exception, are all crying and mourning, like the dead mother, full of bad luck.Wu Yue's army came too fast, and now if he wants to give up Jinzhou, it is too late, and the Manchu court has already died, and the defenders who stayed in Jinzhou and Ningyuan retreated without a fight, and those who entered Shanhaiguan without permission were killed.Now that he can't escape, Zhao Zamao also threw himself into the city, ordered him to surrender, and said in a very loud tone, claiming that if he dares to say a word, no one will be left after the city is broken.If someone else said this, Shi Tingzhu would only think that he was bragging, but Zhao Zamao's words, who would dare not do it?
Shi Tingzhu smashed his fist on the city wall, and couldn't help but scold angrily, "Zhao Zamao, my mother, I don't believe it!"
”Behind Shi Tingzhu, the Han army was under a white flag, but Shen Yongzhong, who was in the white flag, was a little shaken, "Gushan, Zhao Zamao is brave and good at fighting, invincible, and now he is coming with a large army, and there are only thousands of soldiers and horses in my city, how can I be the enemy?"
”The successive military defeats, coupled with the internal turmoil of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, made many Qing generals completely unmotivated.Shi Tingzhu has been in the Qing Dynasty for many years, but he is a hardcore old traitor of Li Yongfang's generation, he turned around suddenly, his eyes swept over everyone, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Now is the time when the Qing Dynasty is in danger, if you have two hearts, how can you be worthy of the kindness of the Qing Dynasty."
Besides, if we fall into the hands of Zhao Zamao, what good will happen to us.The only way to do this is to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements in the pass!
”"Gushan, Prince Guannei Ying raised more than 100,000 soldiers to invade the Beijing Division, in case the imperial court fails, who will save me?"
Jia Lazhang Jing Maning was also worried.Shi Tingzhu looked annoyed, the situation is like this, the people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!"
Humph!
What are you worried about?
Aixin Jueluo's own family is fighting, the emperor wins, he wants to save Jinzhou, Prince Ying wins, won't he save Jinzhou?
”Shi Tingzhu said coldly.As soon as he said this, although everyone had no bottom in their hearts, it was not easy to say it again.Shi Tingzhu stared at everyone, and saw that everyone lowered their hands, so he said in a deep voice: "You have to worry about waiting for Hugh, Zu Dashou is a defeated general for me and others, he can defend Jinzhou for a year and a half, and I wait for the Eight Banners strong team, can't I stop Zhao Zamao?"
And stick to the city, I expected that it would be less than half a month, more than three months, and the victory or defeat in the pass would be one point, and there must be a source of the army!
”Saying that, Shi Tingzhu couldn't help but look out of the city, and his thoughts were empty, "This Jinzhou City, holding the key points, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty repeatedly fought for it, because the land of Jinzhou was too important."
Now the imperial court will definitely not give up Jinzhou. ”After listening to Shi Tingzhu's words, everyone barely cheered up, and since they decided to resist stubbornly, they could only command their subordinates to go to the city to defend and persevere to the end.However, after the Qing army captured the cities of Dalinghe, Jinzhou, Songshan, and Ningyuan, they did not have troops to garrison them, and they were worried that they would be reoccupied by the Ming army, so they destroyed the cities.Now, Jinzhou and other cities, although they have been repaired, are no longer the fortified cities when the Ming Dynasty operated the defense line in western Liaoning, the city walls are full of holes and dilapidated, so that the defenders and soldiers who are deployed are all cold in their hearts.The Qing army looked at the ruined city, and then looked at the Wu Yue army camp outside the city, as well as the artillery that was being pushed out, all of them were terrified and their hearts were beating wildly.On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, early in the morning.Xie Qian lifted the tent curtain and entered the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Ming was putting on armor and going out of the camp to peek at the city defense."
Your Highness, the one-day deadline has passed, and there is still no sign of surrender in the city!"
Xie Qianyu reports.Zhao Ming put on his cloak and asked casually: "Shi Tingzhu, an old thief, with three melons and two dates under his hands, still wants to resist stubbornly?"
”Xie Qian shook his head angrily, "The Qing army at the head of the city is arranged, looking at the appearance, it is preparing a road to the dark!"
”Zhao Ming sneered when he heard this, picked up the helmet on the table, and said as he walked out: "Let's go, look at Jinzhou City!"
”At that moment, Zhao Ming walked out of the big tent, Xie Qian and the guards outside the tent hurriedly followed him, went out of the camp together, and went to peep at the city defense.Everyone rode horses and galloped, and more than 100 horses rushed out of the camp with a roar, and galloped until they were hundreds of steps away from the city wall before stopping, observing Jinzhou City from afar.Seeing the city in front of him, Zhao Ming couldn't help but sigh, Jinzhou had an important position in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, had several major wars, and had a pivotal position on the battlefield outside the Guan.This ancestral longevity town for many years of the city, but at this time it is dilapidated, Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ningjun built the platform, the enemy platform all collapsed, the city wall collapsed in many places, the city tower no longer exists.Zhao Ming sneered when he saw this, "Shi Tingzhu dares to stop Gu by virtue of this broken city?"
”Xie Qian glanced at the city, worried that there were cannons at the head of the city, so he said: "Your Highness, go back to the camp, give the minister a day, just break the city, the minister will definitely take it, and capture the stone pillar to see it!"
”Zhao Ming laughed, "Okay!
Lone gives you a day's time, and the army will live in Jinzhou City tonight!
”After speaking, Zhao Ming pulled the reins of the horse fiercely, and led the cavalry to gallop away.()
