At the mouth of Dagu, Wu Yue's army set up a large camp here.After Fan Wencheng chased to Tongzhou, he saw Zhao Ming's intimidation, and the 10,000-strong army stopped in Tongzhou, not daring to march forward.Without the interference of the Qing army, Zhao Ming built a strong camp in Dagu on the one hand, and sent Li Yuanyin and others to attack everywhere, swept through the nearby prefectures and counties, broke through the banner village, killed the flag man and the clothed soldiers, rescued a large number of flag slaves, and came to Dagukou.At this time, near Dagukou, more than 100,000 people, tens of thousands of livestock, and a large amount of food and military funds have gathered, but there are still Wu Yue troops leading a large number of flag slaves into the camp every day.Nearby: Some flag slaves who couldn't stand the oppression also killed the leader of the flag village and took the initiative to come to the head to lean on.Seeing that Zhao Ming made a mess of Hebei, and a large number of Qizhuang and Qitian were destroyed, whether it was Azig in Beijing or Fan Wencheng in Tongzhou, they were all anxious.Zhao Ming's actions seriously damaged the interests of the banner people, and Azig, as the emperor of the Chongwu Dynasty, was unable to protect the interests of the banner people, which inevitably made the banner people dissatisfied with him and affected the stability of his throne.When Azig and Fan Wencheng were anxious, nearly 100 large ships at the Dagukou wharf were swallowing soldiers and carrying supplies and people.The reinforcements from outside the Guan, disembarking from the ship, more than 100,000 people, as well as more than 200,000 stone grain, countless silver coins and military funds, were waiting to be loaded onto the ship and then transported to the outside of the Guan.Zhao Ming was at the mouth of Dagu, and he was in full swing to transport the people and grain, but Fan Wencheng was so anxious that he couldn't pull out the.On 10 February, after receiving the edict of King Qin, he first led 7,000 cavalry to return to Beijing from Jingcheng, and then transferred to Tongzhou to meet Fan Wencheng.Only then did Fan Wencheng have the courage to pull out the camp and march eastward to Tianjin, but because the troops were not superior, he did not dare to leave.On the 11th, Doni, who was fighting against Jiang Xiang, also led 7,000 cavalry to arrive, and the strength of the Qing army reached 24,000 people.This time, the Qing army advanced to Dagukou and camped five miles away from Wu Yue's army.However, the Qing army still did not dare to attack, but just watched the fleet carry away the people and food.The Dagu Fort was originally built by the Qing army to defend against the Wu Yue army, but now it has become the stronghold of the Wu Yue army.At this time, Zhao Ming boarded the fort, stretched out his hand and took the clairvoyant mirror from the guard's hand to watch, and Xie Qian said next to him: "Your Highness, there are currently more than 20,000 people in the Tartars, half of whom are cavalry!"
”Zhao Ming observed the Qing army camp for a while, and saw the cavalry galloping, so he immediately ordered: "Tell Li Yuanyin, don't leave the camp in the near future, and all the teams of people and horses released will be recovered!"
”Xie Qian nodded, and then said: "Your Highness, the reinforcements mobilized by Azig should arrive one after another in the near future, what is Your Highness going to do?"
Did the army evacuate when the people and supplies were delivered?
”Zhao Ming collected the clairvoyant mirror, looked back at the people gathered on the beach, as well as the mountains of supplies, and said with a smile: "After transporting the population and materials first, then continue to hold on to this place, fight and send warships, attack from other places, and contain the Tartars!"
Staying here alone, the elite of Azig can only stay in Hebei to deal with Lonely, so that the opportunity to the south will come!
”Earlier, Zhao Ming had sent people to Jiangbei to contact Zhu Yihai, invite Jiangbei soldiers to attack Xuzhou, and let Wu Yue's army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang attack Shandong through Jiangbei.Zhao Ming's intention was to disrupt Hebei, contain Azig's elite soldiers, and create opportunities for the southern front.This time, even if Zhao Ming can't destroy Azig, he will hit him hard, avenge Jiangbei's revenge, and be ashamed."
Got it!"
Xie Qian immediately clasped his fists and saluted.When Zhao Ming heard this, he picked up the clairvoyant mirror again, and found that behind the Qing army camp, another army of soldiers and horses came, and he couldn't help frowning slightly."
Another Qing soldier is coming!"
Zhao Ming said in a deep voice, and then immediately ordered: "The people and materials must be evacuated at an accelerated pace!"
”Gu Yanwu behind him said: "Your Highness, it takes time for the fleet to travel between Guanwai and Dagukou, and more than 100,000 people, as well as a large number of livestock and materials, it will not be able to be transported in a short time, and it will take at least a month for the minister!"
”Zhao Ming put down the clairvoyant mirror when he heard this, turned to look at Gu Yanwu and said, "Transporting people first, then transporting materials and livestock." ”Then he looked at Xie Qian and said: "Command the soldiers, strengthen the defense line, the Qing troops will gather more and more, and it won't be long before it's time to attack." ”"Whoa!
Obey the command!
”All the people took the command in unison.On 16 February, the infantry of the Qing army attacking Shanxi rushed to Dagukou one after another.At this time, the Qing army gathered at Dagukou had as many as 80,000 people.On the 27th, as Wu Yue's army was surrounded at the mouth of Dagu, Azig, who had long been unable to rely on it, led an army of 10,000 with a roar of rage to join Fan Wencheng, and the strength of the Qing army reached 90,000.If you add some coatings, it has already exceeded 100,000 people.When Azig arrived at the camp of the Qing army, he first reprimanded Fan Wencheng for being unfavorable to the battle, but Azig was not as black-hearted as Dolgon after all, he was still relatively kind, just reprimanded a few words, and did not take Fan Wencheng as a blame.Hebei was plagued by Zhao Ming like this, and in the east of Beijing, almost all the banners in six or seven counties were destroyed, and there were many casualties among the bannermen, and the grain and military materials in Tongzhou were all moved.This kind of responsibility, the emperor generally can't carry it, if he does, it will appear that the emperor is incompetent, and he will be hated by others, if Dolgon, he will definitely find a scapegoat to kill him, to discourage the eight banner nobles who have suffered losses.Although Azig is irritable and likes to kill, he is relatively thin-skinned, and he knows in his heart that Fan Wencheng is behind him, so he just reprimands a few words, embarrassed to do the black.After the reprimand, Azig immediately mobilized his troops and horses and began to launch an attack on Dagukou, but the Wu Yue army built perfect fortifications, coupled with the heavy artillery support of the Dagu Fort, the Qing army's attack soon suffered a failure.Azig was furious when he saw this, but he was a veteran of the killing field, and after knowing that brute force was useless, he stopped the attack, stared at the bloody angry eyes, looked at the big ships, and took the people away.By the end of February, most of the people and supplies in Dagukou had been transported, and at this time, the heavy artillery that Azig was waiting for finally arrived.On the 27th, the Qing army's 100 heavy artillery pieces, lined up, began to bombard Dagukou, destroying Wu Yue's military fortifications, and Wu Yue's army suffered heavy casualties.At this time, in the Dagukou Fort, Zhao Ming stood in front of the sand table."
Your Highness, after the Azig shelling, the onslaught will inevitably begin!"
Xie Qian said in a deep voice.Zhao Ming frowned and asked, "Nearly a month has passed, and there is no news from the south?"
”When Zhao Ming was asking, Zhang Jiayu, who joined the army, walked in with a calm face and presented a report, "Your Highness, Jiangbei has changed!"
