1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 511 Bingfeng ([-])

On September 1644, 9, in the evening, more than 2 Jiannu infantry gathered under the city of Ye County one after another. Obscuring information on one's own battlefield.

"A few days ago, we lost a match at the city of Ye County." Bahana said to Shi Tingzhu without hesitation: "The opponent's guns are so sharp that we didn't even reach the front of the enemy's line, but lost more than 200 cavalry instead."

"Did you lose more than 200 armored cavalry?" Shi Tingzhu exclaimed suddenly: "How much did the opponent lose?"

"The opponent's loss is slight, probably less than... 50 people." Bahana's face showed a hint of embarrassment. You must know that the Qing Dynasty has hardly lost so many Eight Banners Jiaqi since the Shanhaiguan War. Even when chasing Li Zicheng, Basically, the Guan Ning army and other descendants of the Ming Dynasty took the lead, and the Eight Banners soldiers supervised the formation behind, with little loss.

However, Bahana and Shi Tingzhu set off from Beijing two months ago and went all the way to attack Hebei and Shandong, almost without bloodshed. They took dozens of prefectures and counties lightly and recovered most of Shandong.The number of troops also expanded from [-] Banner soldiers at the time of departure to more than [-] through the incorporation and surrender of the army when they arrived in Jinan.Just when he thought he could easily defeat the remnants of the Ming army in the Denglai area and capture and kill the Ming prince, he did not expect that more than two hundred armored cavalry were wiped out by the enemy in this Laizhou capital.

"Then let's set up camp to rest tonight, and tomorrow we will supervise the infantry and ants to attack the city. When the city is broken, all of Ye County will be slaughtered to avenge my Eight Banners athletes." Shi Tingzhu didn't say anything more, Bahana was older than the army. People may only encounter minor setbacks because of a moment of carelessness.

"The defenders in Ye County are a little strange. They are elite soldiers who are good at fighting. Their guns are extremely sharp, and the cavalry cannot get close to the battle." Bahana said, "We need to be more careful when we attack the city tomorrow."

When Shi Tingzhu heard this, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.Since the second year of Apocalypse (1622), he surrendered the Houjin at Guangning Guard at that time. He fought against the Ming army in Liaodong for decades. During the Battle of Songjin, I saw the spectacular scene of hundreds of guns fired by the Ming army.

Well, so what?
Tomorrow's battle will drive thousands of former Ming soldiers and swarm the city to attack the city. I still don't believe that we can't take this small Ye county.Starting from Jinan, there were originally only 1000 soldiers surrendered. When they arrived at Laizhou, the team had grown to more than 5000 people. Adding more than [-] Eight Banners soldiers, this was nearly [-] troops.There are only [-] people at most in Ye County. With the power of our Qing Dynasty and twice the military strength, if we fail to conquer this city for a day, it will be considered passive and idle.

"Is there 1 slave-building troops under the city?" Li Fade looked at the endless camps outside the city, and couldn't help being a little stunned.

"Most of them are descended from the Ming Dynasty. There may be less than 2000 real Eight Banners soldiers." He Yunfeng said.

"As long as we kill those real soldiers of the Eight Banners, won't these troops of the Ming Dynasty be defeated?" Xu Chuanxing said with a smile.

"It's probably difficult!" He Yunfeng shook his head and said, "A few days ago, we wiped out more than two hundred Jiannu forwards in the first battle. Presumably they have seen how powerful we are at platooning guns, and they should not rush forward rashly again."

"That's right, in the next few days, most of the troops that will come to attack the city will be these descendants of the Ming Dynasty." Niu Hu said: "This is also good, so that the new army of the Ming Dynasty can take this opportunity to train their troops."

"Let the new army of Ming Dynasty fight against Jiannu, won't they think that we are using them as cannon fodder?" Li Fade asked.

"I don't know if other officials of Ming Dynasty will have this idea, but Jiang Yongrui definitely hopes that his troops can experience battle and see blood." He Yunfeng said firmly.

"Alas, the rotten Tartars are always driving Ming people to kill Ming people, and they are always the ones who benefit in the end." Li Fade said bitterly.

"When the situation in Denglai stabilizes a little bit, and all the Jian slaves from Liaodong have entered the pass, then we will go directly to raid their lair!" He Yunfeng said darkly, looking at the densely packed former Ming troops outside the city.

----------

Shandong Jinan.

Wang Aoyong, the governor of Henan and Shandong, and Fang Dayou, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, looked at a troop transfer document sent from Beijing, and couldn't help looking at each other, without speaking for a while.

"The regent is going to transfer all the soldiers under Bahana and Shi Tingzhu to Shanxi at this time, wouldn't it make the good situation in Shandong collapse immediately!" Wang Aoyong said worriedly: "If they march into Denglai this time, they will send the false prince to Shanxi. It would be best to capture and kill Jiaodong, but if the battle goes badly and many hands are left behind, I am afraid that if they leave Shandong, the entire Shandong prefecture and county will repeat themselves and vote for the false prince Denglai."

"My Qing army is powerful and invincible. I think it will take a few days before I will receive news of Denglai's recovery." Fang Dayou is more optimistic, "But the regent will transfer all Eight Banners soldiers to Shanxi. I'm afraid it's a bit...somewhat inappropriate to attack Taiyuan with Ye Chen's troops. Without the suppression of the Eight Banners Army, maybe many prefectures and counties will really have relapses."

"The regent probably wanted to take advantage of the emptiness in Shanxi and occupy it first, in order to prepare for the complete extermination of the rebellious leader Li Zicheng who fled to Shaanxi, so as not to give him a chance to breathe." Wang Aoyong sighed: "But, The land of Shandong is where the flanks of Gyeonggi are screened, if... if Nanjing is seized by chance, our Qing Dynasty will not be in danger!"

Having said this, both Wang Aoyong and Fang Dayou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.A few months ago, the two were still Ming officials. First, Dashun invaded Beijing and was captured and surrendered as a bandit. Then, the Qing Dynasty drove Li Zicheng away, and they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again.Today, the two were ordered to appease Shandong, but they were worried that after the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners were transferred to Shanxi, they would be sent troops to Shandong by the Nanjing Hongguang court, ruining the great situation of our Qing Dynasty.

The world changes, but the year of Jiashen is the most!

"Qingzhou came to report, saying that several groups of mobs in the countryside attacked the officials and the people and the intercourse station, and the situation was very difficult to control. This is also an important logistics area for our Qing Dynasty to attack Laizhou, so there is no room for loss." After a long silence, Wang Aoyong said softly: " Tomorrow, I will supervise a batch of food, grass and military equipment to go to Qingzhou, and I will sit here for ten days to quell the rebellious people. . . . The Jinan matter, Ouyu (Fang Dayou, courtesy name Ouyu) will have to worry about it."

"Because my Qing Dynasty can set the world at an early date, I dare not care about my lowly position." Fang Dayou said, cupping his hands.

In a valley in Linqu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Zhao Yingyuan, the former general of Dashun, and Yang Wangxiu, the magistrate of Linqu County, stood on a high slope, looking at the countless soldiers and civilians of the Dashun Army, looking for wild vegetables in the wild. And grass seeds, to eat, are silent.

"General..." Yang Wangxiu continued to speak, looking at Zhao Yingyuan expectantly.

"Are you so sure that the prince of the Ming Dynasty can succeed?" Zhao Yingyuan turned to look at Yang Wangxiu, then sighed, and said, "Guo Shuai (Guo Sheng) led the troops back to Shanxi, and we are living in Linqu. Cheng Gujun. If you rashly voted for Denglai, not to mention crossing the state and counties, you would have to face Jiannu soldiers. I heard that a month ago, Jiannu led an army to Laizhou Prefecture, probably for the sake of the Ming prince."

"General, it is precisely because of this that we happened to start an incident in Qingzhou." Yang Wangxiu said: "Except for the main force of Jiannu to attack Laizhou, the rest are in Jinan. The Qingzhou mansion is empty at this time. If we attack it unprepared, we will surely It can seize Qingzhou in one fell swoop. Moreover, it can also cut off the rear route of the army of slaves who attacked Laizhou, making it difficult to care about it. Maybe it can overturn the entire situation in Shandong.”

"If the prince of Laizhou didn't stop Jiannu, but was captured and killed by him, how should we deal with it?" Zhao Yingyuan asked: "We occupy Qingzhou, and we may face Jiannu's siege from both sides."

"Is the general planning to stay here forever, waiting for Jiannu to attack?" Yang Wangxiu said dissatisfied: "You have to know that in Shandong, not all local forces are willing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Now, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty Although Denglai's appearance will attract Jiannu's attack, it will also inevitably make those local forces who are hesitant to respond and surrender. Daming, after all, he has enjoyed the country for more than two hundred years, and there are still some people's hearts."

"Hmph, if Daming had some support, Dashun wouldn't have taken over the city of Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen wouldn't have hanged himself on Meishan Mountain." Zhao Yingyuan snorted coldly and said.

"Then the general is planning to pass through Shandong and Henan, and return to Shaanxi to join Dashun's banner?"

"I was He Yilong's subordinate back then. Two years ago, I broke into Wanghuo and He Yilong, and took over our Gezuo Fifth Battalion. In the Dashun Army, I was always underestimated. A few months ago, Guo Shuai left Shandong, unexpectedly did not inform us at all. This clearly treats us as abandoned sons, leaving us to fend for ourselves in Shandong. This Shaanxi, I don’t want to go back!” Zhao Yingyuan said angrily.

"Since you don't vote for the crown prince and you don't want to return to Shaanxi, how can you seize Qingzhou, plunder the government treasury, and strengthen our strength to see the changes in the situation in Shandong." Yang Wangxiu suggested.

"The walls of Qingzhou City are high and thick, and our troops only have a few thousand people. How can we easily conquer them?"

"Surrender!" Yang Wangxiu said: "Jiannu is currently recruiting and surrendering Nachen in Shandong, thinking that the situation here will be calmed down as soon as possible. We selected the elite to rush to Qingzhou, and then sent envoys into the city to demand surrender from Jiannu. They heard that Therefore, there will be no doubts. After entering Qingzhou City, quickly control the key points of the city defense, seize the treasury in the city, and behead the slave officials and guards. Afterwards, we can open the granary and collect all the strong and strong people in the city to fill our army .”

"Fake surrender?...Will Jiannu believe it?"

"May I ask, is there ever a city in many prefectures and counties in Shandong that Jiannu dispatched an army to conquer?" Yang Wangxiu said: "Also, when Jiannu first arrived in Shandong, there were only a few thousand soldiers, and there will be no more than a few people. In just a few months During that time, nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers were surrendered. If we also play the banner of surrendering and building slaves, Qingzhou City will definitely accept them!"

"Even if things go wrong, it's still better than staying here." Yang Wangxiu saw that Zhao Yingyuan still had doubts, and said sharply: "The troubled times are approaching, and a man should act decisively. The general needs to know that the opportunity is too late. Lost, time is waiting!"

"...It's done!" Zhao Yingyuan pondered for a moment, then drew out the dagger at his waist, slammed it on a tree, and said in a ruthless voice: "I wanted to seize Linqu again and raise some food and grass to last ten days. Now, just as you said, attack Qingzhou, gather the people and expand the army... Let's make a big deal!"
