Chapter 701 Emperor Chongzhen of the Shang State also read a lot of information, and learned the lesson that the Ming army was scattered in the Battle of Salhu and was broken by Nurhachi one by one, and he concentrated the 130,000 horses of the Jingying, Changping Army, Baoding Army, Datong Army, Tianxiong Army and Henan Ban Army, and advanced straight to the middle palace and smashed Kulun.Emperor Chongzhen was convinced that he would definitely be able to take Jiannu by surprise this time, as long as he defeated Jiannu, Emperor Chongzhen would definitely be famous in the world as the Emperor of Zhibing.He even thinks that Quan Xu once had a sentence that is very correct, there has never been a minister with high merit, only an incompetent king, who can be greater than the two expeditions to Mobei Weiqing?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty casually wiped out the Wei military group, did the Wei family dare to resist except to be killed?
They don't dare?
General Lan Yulan, who also holds military power, in the face of the butcher's knife of Emperor Hongwu, he does not dare to resist, he must be able to use his power to defeat Jiannu and coerce Quan Xu to give up the military power of the merchant army, he Chongzhen is not a person who is unkind, as long as Quan Xu is willing to hand over the military power, he will build a merchant palace for Quan Xu in the capital, let him accompany him to drink tea and eat all the food in the world......
I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen's ideals are very full, but the reality is extremely cruel.Before the Ming army opened the Great Wall, their troop deployment, marching routes, grain storage locations and other vital information were placed in great detail in front of the Huang Taiji case......
The scale of Chongzhen's Northern Expedition is unprecedented, almost gathering most of the Ming Dynasty's expeditionary army, at the beginning it really made the Chinese people very excited, thinking that the country is hopeful, that the Ming Dynasty has been in trouble for decades, and the Ming Dynasty tossed enough to choke the Jiannu can rest in peace!
The common people are still happy, the Liao salary is like a mountain pressing on their bodies, pressing them out of breath, the Guanning army was wiped out by the whole family army, and the Liao salary is useless, and there is no excuse for it, but now it is okay, you can continue to collect it under the banner of the Northern Expedition.The emperor drove a new expedition and vowed to set foot on Kulun, and the people of the Ming Dynasty thought that even if Jiannu was not exterminated this time, he would at least be beaten honestly for decades.They were able to catch their breath, too.However, after the army set out, they found that this was not the case, 100,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of people, were moved, and they were clothed, grained, and paid......
It's all astronomical figures, officials at all levels took the opportunity to loot on a large scale, and the imperial court ordered to add half a tael of silver, and they could add it to five taels, and the entire Beizhili was ruthlessly looted, especially in the area of Beijing and Tianjin, I don't know how many people were forced to die.There is no way, the officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty have no other skills, but no one can do the ability to loot the people's fat and ointment and mess things up.Layers of looting, layer by layer of drifting, although the Beijing and Tianjin areas have been scraped to the sky, but the military funds sent to the front line are far from enough, and the civil servants and some generals who accompany the army are greedy for ink by taking advantage of their powers, and even fewer can be sent to the soldiers, which makes everyone complain.Especially after leaving the Great Wall and continuing north, the morale of the Ming army became more and more low.Lu Xiangsheng saw all this in his eyes, worried, in his opinion, it was too risky to sneak directly to Kulun, Beijing to Kulun, more than 2,000 miles away, the supply line was so long, in case the Qing army made a roundabout attack, how could the Ming army cover it?
Lu Xiangsheng asked to see Chongzhen many times, wanting to reveal the hidden worries and dishes in his heart, but Chongzhen refused to see him, he wrote several more memoranda, and strongly persuaded Chongzhen to stop advancing, first stabilize the grain road in the rear, but they all sank into the sea, and the ghost knows if Chongzhen has seen it!
In fact, he read all the letters he wrote, but he didn't read a word.You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.Chongzhen has been waiting, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to figure it out, and took the initiative to admit his mistake to him, as long as Lu Xiangsheng is willing to admit his mistake, he will let Lu Xiangsheng replace Gao Qiqian and lead the three armies to attack Kulun.In fact, Chongzhen didn't know that Lu Xiangsheng's ability to fight was not comparable to a hundred high dives, this point, Chongzhen still knew, if it wasn't for the rift between Quan Xu and him, if it weren't for the fact that the Manchu Dynasty called him Quan Xu's puppet, he didn't even want to use Lu Xiangsheng, he just wanted to use Quan Xu as the commander and lead the three armies.However, Lu Xiangsheng didn't have the slightest intention of reflecting, and kept saying that Your Majesty, you are wrong, you fell for Jiannu, and people are playing you!
In Chongzhen's heart, Lu Xiangsheng was ridiculing Chongzhen for being a fool, and he didn't even know that he was being played around.I will never be wrong, Emperor Chongzhen was angry, he simply ignored Lu Xiangsheng, and waited until he figured it out!
At Chongzhen's insistence, the Ming army continued to advance despite everything.Of course, when Quan Xu learned about this situation, he couldn't smile bitterly.War is a major national matter, how can it be such a child's play?
It's just that Chongzhen is still like a child who is angry, playing with temper and making emotions......
In fact, compared to the decay of the Ming Dynasty's civil servants, the military system of the Ming Dynasty was also rotten, most of the officers of the guard were hereditary, Lao Tzu was a thousand households, his son was also a thousand households, Lao Tzu was a hundred households, and his son was also a hundred households.There is only a slight possibility of promotion in the border army, for example, Mao Wenlong's starting point is a hundred household officials, but in the border army, if you want to be promoted, you need to spend money.It is almost a fair and clear price, how much is the total amount of promotion, how much is the total amount of promotion, how much is the promotion of guerrilla generals, and as for whether or not they can lead troops to fight and whether they are capable of this military position, it does not matter at all.Why did the Ming army win less and lose more when facing Jiannu, because it was not only civilian officials who fell, but also military generals, of course, two or three million Ming troops, a huge base, even if it was poor, there were several available materials.In less than a month, Gao Qiqian did not fight a battle, but promoted eighteen generals and four general officers in one go, and even Zuo Liangyu, Hou Sui's most favored military officer, also retired from the chief military officer of Changping to the deputy chief soldier, and the chief military officer was replaced by a person named Ma Desheng.This Ma Desheng is very good at snorting and shooting horses, and he is very comfortable shooting high dives along the way."
Everyone in the world says how brave Jiannu is, in Ma's opinion, it is just a group of local chickens and dogs, and Gao Gonggong has no last resort, just Jiannu, how dare he brush the tiger's whiskers!"
Gao Qiqian was quite useful to these Ma Desheng's sycophants, laughed, and said, "What do you say, what is Huang Taiji doing now?""
Maybe I'm hiding in the Kulun puppet palace now, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, begging the ancestors to bless me, right?"
The generals burst out laughing."
Unfortunately, it won't save his life!"
Ma Desheng retorted: "That's not it, if Gonggong Gao is in a good mood, maybe he will treat Huang Taiji as a fart and let it go!"
”Gao Qiqian laughed again, very proud.In fact, at this time, Huang Taiji did not hide in the palace and shiver as Ma Desheng said, when Quanxu fully mobilized the Shang State, he also began to clean up the fine work and eyeliner inside the Shang State, not only the fine work of Jiannu was uprooted, but even the fine work of the Donglin Party and Huayang Society was beaten by the grass and beaten by the rabbit and cleaned up.Although he couldn't hear the news about Shangguo for a while, he couldn't receive the news, which in itself was the most important news, which meant that Quan Xu was ready to make a move on Qingguo.In order to deal with Quanxu's merchant army, he led Dolgon and Daishan Azig, led the four banners of the left wing, the Mongolian servant army, and secretly transferred to the east, preparing to block the whole family army in the middle and lower reaches of the Haraha River, which is now the merchant army.At the same time, he took the main force of the Qing army, left Kulen, and faced the spearhead of the Ming army's attack.This time, he was the main force of the right wing and four banners of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and at the same time led a total of 180,000 horses and horses of Weite Mongolia and Khalkha Mongolia, plus more than 20,000 Han troops, and the total strength was basically slightly double that of the Ming army under Chongzhen.In particular, the Guardian Mongolia and the Khalkha Mongolia, unlike the Chahar Mongolia that the Ming New Army was afraid of, these Mongolias are more ferocious, and their combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and it is not their strong bows and fierce horses that can suppress the Vest Mongols and Khalkha Mongols, but firearms.On the contrary, the Spaniards strengthened the firearms troops to Huang Taiji, which could suppress the Guardian Mongols and the Khalkha Mongols to death, and as for the Han army, they could only be used as cheerleaders for the time being, they were just too far apart in terms of equipment, training, discipline or will, and let them take the lead, which was purely a send-off.Even if it is facing the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is no Quan Xu, but Huang Taiji is full of confidence, he knew from the beginning that he would win this battle!
Chongzhen is also full of confidence, thinking that he has won.Although Quan Xu, who had not yet officially set off, was still in Jinzhou at this time, the merchant army had been deployed in place, and the second division was moved to the former Nuer Gandu Division's Haijuer Qianhu Station, which was the Hailar of the later generations.However, Quan Xu also carried out the de-Manchuization here, and in the Tang Dynasty, it belonged to the jurisdiction of the Wei Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Andong Prefecture, and it became Ningzhou, the capital of Beizhen.The Ninth Division was stationed at Yakeshi, which means fortress in Manchu, and Quanxu was named Saizhou.The 11th Division reached north of Daze, today's Hulun Lake, and went north along the Krulun River, a tributary of Hulun Lake (both upstream and Halaha River).Quanxu is on the north shore of Hulun Lake, along the shore of the lake to set up Zezhou, Zezhou as the Beizhen Council to conquer the forefront of the Kulun north, Zezhou City South City into the embankment built on the lakeside, by the wharf can pass Daze Lake.The Shang State mobilized more than 1.5 million men and horses to participate in the Northern Expedition, and more than 500,000 people arrived in Zezhou, turning a huge amount of supplies into a huge fortress.The newly built Zezhou is 3,899 meters long from east to west and 2,452 meters wide from north to south, with an area equivalent to ten Quanjiazhuang towns and an area of nearly 15,000 acres.The city wall of Zezhou City is made of reinforced concrete directly poured, and the construction speed is very fast, because the transportation to Zezhou not only includes materials, but also 16 steam mixers, 25 steam cranes and other professional equipment.I have a suite at the end of the Ming Dynasty
