The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 258 The Tragic Daling River
Chongzhen had no choice. After several hours of decision-making and debate, it was agreed to promote Ding Yi to Lushun general, descendants hereditary Jinyiwei Qianhu, Chen Shiyou and Mao Yongyi to deputy general (deputy commander-in-chief), Xu Fuzuo to commander-in-chief, and finally went A generation of characters, plus General Longhu, descendants of Jinyiwei hereditary hundreds of households.

All other meritorious personnel were rewarded, and Ding Yi also included Yang Yong and Ding Shitou from the original hundred households.

After the battle of Xu Dabao, Yang Yong was promoted to a hundred households, and Ding Shitou was promoted to the general banner.

Afterwards, the two stayed in the Beijing office and successfully completed the threat to Luo Yangxing.

This time, both of them were on the list of meritorious personnel. Yang Yong was promoted to general manager, and Ding Shitou was promoted to general manager.

"Yang Baihu will be Mr. Qian from now on, congratulations." Liang Tingdong laughed.

Yang Yong was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Thank you, Mr. Liang, for your kind words and care."

After finishing speaking, he quickly took out a few bank notes from his sleeve and stuffed them directly into Liang Tingdong's hand.

Liang Tingdong was also polite, and generously took it without looking at it, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Because he knew in his heart that Ding Yi was quite generous in his actions, and there would be no less.

The two chatted for a few more words, suddenly Liang Tingdong seemed to think of something, and frowned: "By the way, you should quickly ask Ding Yi, Lushun, have you offended Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren?"

"..." Yang Yong looked puzzled, and he shook his head: "No way, we are in Lushun, and we have never had anything to do with the adults in the cabinet?"

"A few of them are desperately trying to transfer Ding Yi away from Lushun today. I see if there is a misunderstanding between you. Zhou is the chief assistant, and Wen may continue to be the chief assistant. Ding Shen will be a smart person. Try not to It's right to have enemies with these people."

Yang Yong nodded solemnly: "The little one knows, and will definitely go back and report."

Yang Yong thought for a while, and quickly asked: "Who else has a good relationship with Zhou Wen in the capital?"

Liang Tingdong narrowed his eyes slightly, and paused: "Jin Yiwei commander Zhang Daojun seems to have a good relationship with them, will you offend Jin Yiwei?"

A stern look flashed in Yang Yong's eyes, and he slowly shook his head: "No, absolutely not."

On August 26, General Wu Xiang and Song Wei led [-] troops from Jinzhou to the Daling River for rescue. Houjin Azige led troops to meet them. It was foggy that day, and the sight of both sides was not good.

Suddenly meeting in the fog, the Ming army was shocked, and Hou Jin was stunned for a while, but Azig immediately ordered to charge.

The Ming army collapsed at the first touch, and was defeated in an instant.

Fortunately, the fog was thick, and the Hou Jin army was afraid of an ambush by the Ming army, so they didn't dare to chase after them. Wu Xiang and Song Wei ran back with the remnants of the soldiers, and the Ming army's second reinforcement failed.

On September [-], the imperial court's rewards went to Lushun and Pidao.

The generals in Lushun were also promoted. Except for Ding Yi who was promoted to be a general, the original six guards were all promoted to guerrilla, and many Qian Zong were promoted to guard.

Ruan Siqing was promoted to general manager, and Xilao, a Portuguese, was promoted to general manager, which made him very happy. He did not expect to be an official in the Ming army.

In the past, all the generals in Lushun were very happy to be rewarded by the imperial court, but now they don't seem to care.

Because in Lushun, everyone's official positions are not promoted according to the imperial court.

Ding Yi asked them to be officials wherever they were.

So everyone gradually got used to their current positions, but at least it was considered a promotion, so Ding Yi ordered a two-day holiday so that everyone could relax together.

Along with the promotion, there was a reward of 2 taels from the court. Originally, there were about 7000 taels according to the regulations, with seven deductions and eight deductions. In the end, Ding Yi only had [-] taels.

Of course, Ding Yi didn't say anything, and he took 200 taels to send the person who came to give the reward. He has always been generous, and now he is famous in Beijing. If he can come here to raise the reward, many people in the palace will rush to come .

On the same day, an imperial doctor came to see Ding Yi, and when he returned, he said excitedly: "Ding Shen will be injured by the gunfire, and he will die if he misses it. The lazy saint survived by God's grace."

"According to Weichen, it takes at least three months of rest to recover."

Chongzhen thought to himself, luckily he didn't send Ding Yi to Dalinghe.

On September [-]th, Wu Xiang and Song Wei led another [-] troops to rescue Dalinghe for the third time.

When Huang Taiji got the news, he led his troops to meet him. He and Duoduo walked in front, and were soon spotted by the sentry cavalry of the Ming army.

The 6000 Ming army rushed forward, Huang Taiji did not wait for the rear army, and ordered [-] soldiers around him to meet him.

200 people rushed to 6000 people, and the 6000 people of the Ming army were defeated.

Then the rear army of Huang Taiji arrived and chased them all. The [-] Ming army was defeated and returned, which was even worse than last time.

I don't know whether it was Huang Taiji's power or the incompetence of the Ming army. Two hundred of his personal soldiers defeated the six thousand Ming army.

Moreover, Huang Taiji quickly thought of a method of fake reinforcements. People dressed in Ming army clothes shouted and rushed to the Houjin camp. Zu Dashou believed it was true, and immediately led his troops to rush out, trying to attack inside and outside to break out of the encirclement. The result was naturally a big defeat , and was made dumplings, if not for his more elite soldiers and horses, rushing desperately, he almost couldn't go back.

After this fake reinforcement, Zu Dashou became terrified, he could no longer believe in the rescue, and made up his mind to stick to it. (Ding Yi knew afterwards, but he couldn't believe it. With his IQ, he could still become the leader of Liaodong generals. No wonder the Ming army was defeated again and again.)
At this time, from the siege of the city after August 48th to the false reinforcements on September [-]th, the Daling River was besieged for [-] days. The Ming army in the city had already run out of food. After being almost killed, it began to eat people.

First eat the unarmed peasants and craftsmen who were conscripted to build the city, and then eat the soldiers.

According to historical records, the city is "cooking bones and analyzing bones, which is unheard of in ancient times."

What do you mean, it is to use human bones as firewood, cut off the human flesh and roast it to eat.

The whole city is full of human remains, and people are being burned and eaten everywhere. At this time, the Daling River has become a gloomy underworld in broad daylight.

When the city was finally broken and surrendered, there were only more than 3 people and 1000 horses left in the city from the original 32 people.

Most of the time in the Battle of Daling River was between the siege and the defense of the city. Less than a thousand Ming soldiers were actually killed in the battle. This shows how many people were killed?
The remaining 1 people were all strong soldiers. They turned around and became the elite soldiers of Houjin. From then on, they held swords and began to massacre Ming soldiers and civilians.

Throughout the Battle of Daling River, the Ming army reinforced several times, and the last reinforcement was 30 soldiers and horses. Hou Jin lined up forty newly cast red barbarian cannons. It also collapsed soon, except Wu Xiang and Song Wei, the two famous fleeing generals, who ran back with more than 3 people, the entire army of [-] soldiers and horses was wiped out, and at least [-] people surrendered directly to Houjin.

Later, Jin not only achieved the goal of the campaign by encircling the points to fight for aid, but also surrendered more than 4 elite soldiers of the Ming army, further strengthening their strength.

Ding Yi fought desperately in Lushun, fighting desperately, and finally wiped out tens of thousands of Jin Hanjun.

Huang Taiji fought at the Daling River and won [-] new Han troops, and they were even more elite.

The Battle of Dalinghe was the most tragic siege in the history of the Ming Dynasty. The lives of the people were worthless in the national war, like ants.
