Chapter 724 Wang Jianwang (middle) Quanxu's biggest advantage is that hundreds of thousands of family troops can notify the radio wave dispatch, just when Daqingshan is besieged, Dai Shan led the largest field soldiers and horses of the Qing army, and successfully attacked the Jinzhong Basin under the leadership of a traitor.At first, Dai Shan only had more than 30,000 Manchu cavalry, more than 90,000 Mongolian cavalry, a total of more than 120,000 troops, after taking Taiyuan, his troops expanded to 200,000 horses, including more than 80,000 surrendered Ming troops and forcibly conscripted people.Capture the important town of Taiyuan, Daishan rapidly expand the army, for the surrender of the Ming army, the comer did not refuse, located in the east road of the Huang Taiji first occupied Zunhua, Linyu, Funing, Qian'an, Qianxi, Luanxian, Luannan, Changli, Lulong, Fengrun, Fengnan, Yutian, Leting, Sanhe, Huaixian, Yanqing, Changping, and Tongzhou, respectively from the north, east, west three sides of the siege of the capital.Of course, at this time, the Huang Taiji Department was also like blowing up a balloon, blowing up to 250,000 horses.Among them, the worst is Zhou Yuji, the forward deputy general who defends Yanqing.Zhou Yuji can be said to be the last general in the Ming Dynasty who can fight except for Lu Xiangsheng and Quan Xu, however, he is extremely tragic, relying on Yanqing Guancheng, Zhou Yuji resisted for three days and three nights, causing great damage to the attacking Qing army.At the most critical moment, Wen Tiren issued a fire ticket to Zhou Yuji, ordering him to give up Yanqing Pass and return to the capital as soon as possible.Almost all of his troops are infantry, relying on Guancheng, they can also attack and defend each other with the Qing army, and once they retreat, it will be for nothing.However, the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and Zhou Yuji, in desperation, ordered to carry the wounded and the people in Yanqing Pass to retreat to the capital.Subsequently, he was divided and surrounded by Hauge's troops, with more than 7,000 troops, fighting and retreating, and finally outnumbered, and most killed outside the capital.Especially Zhou Yuji, under the desperate rescue of his own soldiers, only a dozen of his own soldiers were spared, and even Zhou Yuji's son Zhou Ruhu was hit by several arrows and bled to death.In this case, the city of Beijing did not come out, allowing the Qing army to besiege and kill the remnants of Zhou Yuji, at this critical moment, the whole family army Xuan Yingwei located outside the city dispatched, Xuan Yingwei equipped with strong crossbows and muskets, caught the Qing army pursuers off guard, and reported the situation to Quan Xu.Quan Xu was furious and ordered Xuan Yingwei to protect Zhou Yuji, a hero, and retreat to the family villa.However, at this time, Li Xin, who was originally ordered to go south, came to Zhangjiakou in the dust."
How's going on in Nanyang?"
In fact, Quan Xu is most concerned about the problem of Nanyang Medan, China is a mainland agricultural society, and it is very difficult to emigrate if you want to develop Nanyang, unless you are like Lu Xiangsheng defeated Gao Yingxiang's department at the beginning, he captured three or four hundred thousand people at once and sent them to Nanyang.Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the people are reluctant to immigrate to Nanyang, there is no advantage in population, it is not easy to govern Nanyang, the Tang Dynasty soldiers reached the east coast of the Caspian Sea in the west, but once defeated, they will soon lose all traces.It is easy to fight the world and difficult to govern, so Quan Xu cares very much about those Chinese who migrate to Nanyang independently."
Back to the king, the minister negotiated with the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company respectively, and they reluctantly agreed not to interfere in the situation in Mindanao, but in order to deter the Dutch East India Company from no longer playing tricks, the forty-eight main warships of the South China Sea Fleet and more than one hundred Exocet warships have been left in the waters of Malacca, and the minister purchased a piece of land from the Dutch at the cost of 10,000 taels of silver as a supply base for the South China Sea Fleet!""
Where's this land??"
Li Xin unfolded the chart, pointed to the map and said, "It's here in Tamboxi." ”Tamboxi, in fact, is the Singapore of later generations.Decades earlier, the Portuguese had landed in Singapore (1614) and burned down the estuary stronghold, which became one of the Portuguese strongholds.It's just a pity that the Portuguese are more pragmatic than the Dutch, let alone a mere Tamber Xi, even if the Ming Dynasty takes back Macau by force, they have no way.Li Xin said with some guilt: "This land is actually not very big, it is probably equivalent to a town in our Liaodong, in order to quell the Nanyang incident as soon as possible, the minister paid a high price, with 10,000 taels of silver, plus 30,000 pieces of silk trade, to meet the requirements of the Portuguese!"
”Quan Xu smiled: "Your deal is worth it!"
”10,000 taels of silver to buy the whole of Singapore, it is almost like giving it away for nothing, and this is used as a military base, and the security of Nanyang is fully guaranteed."
This errand is well done, you have worked hard from afar, take a good rest in the first district, nourish your spirits, and do a good job of serving this king, what should we do next!"
North of the capital, Niulanshan Town, Shuntian Prefecture.In the camp of Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji was also a little nervous at this time.Quan Xu occupied Zhangjiakou, and although there was no sign of moving forward for the time being, it made his heart hang all of a sudden.He found his confidant Fan Wencheng and asked, "What do you think?"
”Fan Wencheng groaned slightly, and then he had a bottom in his heart, and said slowly: "Quan Xu......
It's time to take the Kyushu artifact!
”It's okay not to mention Quan Xu, as soon as Quan Xu is mentioned, Huang Taiji's heart began to hair, but he said with some doubts: "Even if he wants to take the Kyushu artifact, why did he stop in Zhang's house?"
It's not like his style!
”Fan Wencheng sneered: "It is impossible for people not to have ambitions, and he is no exception.It was only a matter of time before Zhu Ming was finished, as a feudal official who had a strong army and even directly controlled the crown prince, how could he not have other ideas?
He probably wanted to wait for my Qing Dynasty to capture Beijing, destroy Zhu Ming, and then wave his army north to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and then sit on the country by himself, which can be said to be justified. ”Huang Taiji was a little confused and said, "Is this possible?"
He doesn't look like that!
”Fan Wencheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, you may be confused by his disguise!"
Even if he doesn't have such ambitions, his subordinates can't be without, and when he encounters such changes, even if he doesn't want to be the emperor, his subordinates will repeat the story of the yellow robe!
The slave dared to bet his head that what Quan Xu was most concerned about now was not Beijing, but how to hold the prince in his hands, or let Chongzhen Xiao'er evaporate from the world!
”Huang Taiji sighed and said: "In this way, he is really no different from those Ming generals!"
Fan Aiqing, in your opinion, when will the whole family army continue to go north?
”Fan Wencheng said word for word: "After our army captures Beijing!"
”Fan Wencheng's judgment made Huang Taiji feel a little creepy.If his judgment is right, then it will mean that all his calculations are within Quan Xu's calculations, and he has worked hard to drive Chongzhen to that remote place in Daqingshan and capture Beijing City, and in the end it is very likely that he is making a wedding dress for the whole family army!
This made Huang Taiji a little unbearable, he was always the only one who calculated other people's shares, when did he try to be calculated from beginning to end!
He was silent on the surface, but the fist hidden in his sleeve was already clenched, and he said slowly: "Fan Aiqing is really my Chen Ping and Zhang Liang, if you don't have the insight to take the lead, I'm afraid that all my efforts to make a wedding dress for others will not know it, and I will end up with a dead body and a ruined country!"
The layout of the whole family army is extremely ingenious, they have grasped the key in all aspects, I know that this is their trap, and I can only jump into it, according to Fan Aiqing's opinion, how should I deal with it?
”Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "It's not difficult to break Quanxu's game, just take Beijing!"
”Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say that the day the Qing Dynasty took Beijing, that is, when the whole family army went north, why do you still want me to take Beijing?"
”Fan Wencheng said: "Your Majesty, it is extremely risky to capture Beijing, but the benefits are also great!"
Beijing is not only the national gate of the Ming Dynasty, but also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and by taking it, the Qing Dynasty can gain great benefits both militarily and politically!
Not to mention anything else, the money and grain accumulated by the families of countless nobles in Beijing alone are as much as hundreds of millions, with this money, what can not be done?
”Huang Taiji sighed and said: "In the north, Quan Xu Xiaoer has more than 100,000 horses, and in the south......, there are more than 100,000 horses. ”Fan Wencheng said excitedly: "According to reliable information, Quan Xu Xiao'er has mobilized more than one million people in order to compete for the Kyushu artifact, it can be said that Liaodong is very empty now, even if he wants to seize the capital, we only need to hold on until winter comes, even if Quan Xu has a million male soldiers, in the face of the danger of the mountains and seas, he can only cry out in vain, this is the root of the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty fighting for power for a hundred years!"
”Huang Taiji nodded slightly.The significance of Beijing is not only as simple as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, its gains and losses directly determine the belonging of the Great Plain of North China!
The land of Youyan is known as the "backbone of North China", if you lose the land of Youyan, the central dynasty will not be able to straighten the backbone, and Beijing is the most important section of this backbone, if it is lost, the backbone will be broken!
The Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State fought fiercely for more than 100 years, and has been in a dilemma of being beaten passively, the most important reason is that it is impossible to recapture Yanjing, and if it is impossible to recapture Yanjing, it is impossible to drive the Khitans back to the northeast.If the Qing army can take Beijing, nearly 100,000 Qing troops plus more than 100,000 Ming troops will surrender their troops, no matter how strong the whole army is, in the face of such a terrifying cavalry group on the Great Plains, I am afraid that they can only shout that they have the intention to kill the enemy, and they have no power to return to the sky, right?
Take Beijing, and they will be invincible!
Fan Wencheng continued: "Moreover, Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the capture of Beijing means that the Ming Dynasty has perished, and the Qing Dynasty has replaced the Ming Dynasty, which is the name!"
With this title, coupled with the propaganda of the Ming Wenchen who returned to Shun, the people of Shandong and Jiangnan responded to it, even if Quan Xu really supported the Northern Expedition of the new monarch, the general trend was in my Qing Dynasty, and he would not be able to take any advantage!
If the emperor reuses some literati who have a grudge against him, and publicizes his dirty deeds of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight and watching the Qing Dynasty extinguish the Ming Dynasty, hehe......
"PS: I resigned yesterday, and my mentality is a little problematic, let me adjust it!"
