Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 770 The Battle of Liaozuo (6)

"Where is Dorgon's army now?!"

Huang Taiji's angry roar rang out from the tent of the Chinese army commander, and the people gathered in the tent showed different expressions and knelt down on the ground one after another.

After the Liaodong rebels withdrew from the Puhe and Fushun areas, the Eight Banners dispatched elites to advance along the Shenyang line, and the battle situation has been stalemate here for a long time.

First, they fought against the main force of the Liaodong Rebel Army. The two sides fought inextricably. In several battles, both sides suffered losses from each other, but the battle line was still unable to move forward.

What annoyed them was that during the war with the Liaodong rebels, the Ming army guarding Liaodong completed the garrison of the Hun River, Fengji Fort and other places.

The tunnel defense line that the Eight Banners detested was repaired by the Shenji Battalion and Zhenliao Army, and cooperated with the Liaodong Rebel Army to build a larger frontline battlefield.

This has undoubtedly caused great restraint and restrictions on the mobility of the Eight Banners.

"Master, according to a report a few days ago, the main force of the division led by Heshuobeile has already defeated the various ministries in Nekhka." Sony, who was kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and said: "Calculating the time, the ministries should deal with the forces controlled by the Ming court." Liaoxi, unfold..."

"What Ben Khan wants is not estimates!"

Huang Taiji slapped the table and said angrily: "From the Shenji Battalion of the Ming court to the Hun River, the main force of our Eight Banners force has always been under heavy artillery fire.

This caused our army's offensive to be unable to effectively launch.

A full ten days!

Our army did not launch an effective offensive against Shenyang, but lost a lot of soldiers and artillery under its command. This is exactly what Chongzhen Xiaoer wanted to achieve. "

Huang Taiji has fought the battle for so long, and he has never fought such a difficult and uncomfortable battle like the one he experienced before him.

The ministries of the Ming army fighting in the Liaozuo area seemed to be crazy, organizing large-scale artillery offensives every day to disrupt their normal offensives.

An artillery attack of this intensity had never been encountered before by the Eight Banners.

"Whether Liaoxi can break through as soon as possible is the key to solving the Liaozuo dilemma."

Huang Taiji's eyes were stern, and he glanced at the people in the tent, "The Ming army organized an artillery offensive of this scale on the left front of Liao, even regardless of the damage of the artillery, it must be the west of Liaoning, the south of Liaoning and other places, all of which are constantly moving forward. Offers a wide range of firearms and artillery.

Chongzhen is a lunatic!
I would rather spend a large amount of money and food, and start shelling with my Eight Banners force, than start a field battle with our army. This is the key to the current deadlock in Liaozuo.

If you want to break the deadlock in Liaozuo as soon as possible, you must destroy the stability of the Ming court in the rear of Liao, otherwise this battle will continue to be deadlocked. "

Huang Taiji didn't know what kind of strategic deployment Emperor Chongzhen wanted to achieve, but Huang Taiji was clear that if the stalemate in Liaozuo continued to be delayed, it would be their Eight Banners that would be dragged down.

To deal with a Ming army, there may still be room to maneuver.

But on the left front of Liaodong, there is also a Liaodong rebel army.

Two fists can't beat four hands.

Now Huang Taiji regrets more and more in his heart, why he failed to get rid of Li Zicheng in Liao, but if Li Zicheng is removed, he will not be in the passive situation he is now.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The stopped shelling sounded again.

The Liaozuo battlefield with Shenyang as the core became noisy again.

"The performance of the Shenji Camp is still very good."

On the frontier battlefield by the Hun River, Emperor Chongzhen put down his binoculars and said with a smile on his face: "The continued artillery offensive has always suppressed the Jianlu Eight Banners. effect."

"Your Majesty, if the fight continues like this, the loss to our army will actually be quite large."

Wang Zaijin frowned, looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Since the Shenji Battalion and the Pinglu Army entered the frontier battlefield, they have continued to launch artillery offensives. The expenditure alone is as high as nearly one million taels..."

"Your family, accounts are not calculated like this."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "It is true that the expenditure on the battlefield has increased sharply, but this account must be calculated separately. First, will the military industries that are being established in western and southern Liaoning take advantage of this war to speed up their own construction?

Second, did the smelting industries under the rule of Western Liaoning and Southern Liaoning begin to build a new scale of workshops due to the needs of the front-line war?

Third, since the outbreak of the Liaozuo War, have the elite troops dispatched by our Ming Dynasty suffered the least damage among the three parties?

War can't just be based on appearances.

As long as I, Ming, can win the battle of Liaozuo and successfully recover the lost ground in Liaozuo, let alone 100 million taels, even if it is 1000 million taels, this account will still be earned by me, Da Ming! "

Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Wang Qia and other accompanying ministers showed different expressions when they heard what the emperor said.

They didn't quite understand whether what Emperor Chongzhen emphasized was good or bad.

But Emperor Chongzhen knew it very well.

A large amount of money spent due to the war did not disappear out of thin air, but flowed back to the rear industries, and returned to the local area from the hands of the country.

This is the key to industrial development.

The simplest example is that before the war broke out on the Liaozuo front, the military industry in western and southern Liaoning was not enough to support huge consumption.

However, with the passage of time, the urgency of front-line consumption has forced the above-mentioned military industries to continuously increase their production capacity.

If the military industry wants to increase production capacity, it will inevitably drive other industries to increase production. As long as this kind of war development can be guided well, the Liaodong region will usher in a strong development momentum.

"Your Majesty, Li Zicheng sent someone over again to invite His Majesty to enter Shenyang City." Yang Sichang stepped forward and saluted, "Even Li Zicheng said that if Your Majesty wants to..."

"Refused."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "Shenyang City, I will indeed move in one day, but it's not because others invite me to move in, but because I want to move in with dignity.

Shenyang has been the territory of my Ming Dynasty from the beginning to the end. After some defeats in the past, Shenyang was lost. For my Ming Dynasty, this is a shame that I will never forget. "

With such a large amount of capital, Emperor Chongzhen would not be affected by other factors and change his clear strategic deployment.

How the battle is fought, he has the final say.

Returned from the frontline battlefield.

"Tell me about the current situation."

Emperor Chongzhen took off his saber and said to the people gathered in the tent.

"As of now, the west of Liaoning has come to report. Jianlu Belle Dorgon led the elite divisions under his command to coerce Horqin, Chahar, Neikalkha and other ministries to threaten our area in west Liaoning. Zhou Yuji, the coach of west Liaoning, came to report and defended the battalion bravely , Wulie Army and other departments, relying on the Liaoxi defense line, the two sides launched an offensive in Xihe, Xiaoheishan..."

"As of now, Shanhaiguan has come to report that due to the impact of the Liaohetao and Liaozuo frontline battles, there have been some changes in Dongtumote, Karaqin, and Chahar. The changing tribes have caused a great shock to the above-mentioned Mongolian tribes!"

"As of now, the North Korean side has reported that due to the impact of the wars in Liaohetao, Liaozuo and other places, the Korean royal family has taken the initiative to fight against Mang Gurtai's troops. The Dongjiang Army led by Liu Xingzuo has successfully controlled the entire territory of Huanghai Road. According to Dongjiang Pinglu came forward to report that the agreement that had been delayed before, has now been let go by the Korean royal family..."

"As of now, the Pinglu Army, Tang Wang Army and other ministries have been assembled according to the established deployment, and the elites of the various ministries currently fighting have secretly marched towards the Hetuala area..."

"As of now, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has raised the second batch of wartime grain and grass, and transported grain and grass to various places through the west line, east line, and Dongjiang sea line..."

"As of now, 2000% of the 4 million taels of war bonds sold by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been sold to the outside world with Huangzhuang in Zhili as the anchor. This batch of war bonds raised has been in accordance with..."

"As of now, the cabinet..."

Every detail of the important tasks of the military aircraft, including the changes in the situation in the court, was explained one by one, but the mood of the accompanying ministers gathered in the tent was different.

Especially for Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, the Emperor Chongzhen's imperial conquest did not simply want to intervene in the Liaozuo battle, it was obviously a bigger conspiracy.

Such large-scale adjustments and large-scale authorizations mobilized all the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and focused all attention on the Liaozuo front.

If Da Ming dared to suffer any defeat in the Liaozuo battle, the impact and influence on Da Ming would be unimaginable.

But if Daming wins this battle, the strategic advantage gained will be unimaginable.

"Remember... In the west of Liaoning, Zhou Yujiming was issued an edict, ordering him to lead the various ministries in the west of Liaoning, and to strictly guard the west of Liaoning. If there is any accident, dare to let a Jian prisoner into the west of Liaoning, the military law will be followed!"

"Here!"

"Remember... As for Shanhaiguan, tell Mangui to deter Dongtumote, Karaqin and other ministries. To grasp the scale, the safety of Shanhaiguan is the first priority, and assisting the Jimi Yong Sanxie and the stability of the western Liaoning defense line are the second most important. Position, battle, there will be time for them to fight in the future."

"Here!"

"Remember... the North Korean side, tell Liu Xingzuo and Jin Xuan that they must pay special attention to continuing to consume North Korea's vitality and tell North Korea and Jianlu to fight. Daming has shown enough sincerity to protect North Korea, and now Daming is also threatened."

"Here!"

"remember……"

Around the situation in Liaohetao, Liaozuo, and North Korea, Emperor Chongzhen issued a series of decrees. These draft decrees will be passed on as quickly as possible after being approved by Emperor Chongzhen.

War is linked.

The role that Emperor Chongzhen wants to play is to stand at a higher level, to ask the groups that have been granted corresponding powers, to know how to fight the battle in their area, and to fulfill their respective responsibilities and obligations within a reasonable range. This is the key to Emperor Chongzhen's victory in the Liaozuo battle!

Let the right people go to the right place and do the right things. This is what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to make clear. Civil servants cannot intervene in future wars!
