I'm really not doing business

Chapter 162 Overcoming the Great Ningwei

Regarding Qi Jiguang's research on how to efficiently kill people, Zhu Yijun's attitude is very clear, and he hates being immature and cannot go with him.

The victory of the first battle of the Daming Beijing Camp is not the end. This time the battle is not like Gule Village. Destroying one camp of the enemy is the end. This is just the beginning.

The victory this time seemed to be very easy, and even played a crushing posture, which is indeed a matter of course.

Qi Jiguang doesn't like military adventures very much. In Qi Jiguang's view, any military adventure is irresponsible to himself, to the soldiers, to the country, to the imperial order or the mission entrusted by the court. His life, all victories, It was all determined after planning, carefully planned, carefully prepared, and finally won.

He is such a person, and he also plays like this, a pillar that can support Da Ming's sky.

A handsome talent.

The Ming army camped and came to the old site of Yingzhouwei. The city wall built during the Hongwu period had already collapsed. This place has long been a gathering place for the left wing of the northern captives. The surrounding terrain is relatively high, and the place where the north wind cannot blow. Really good for camping.

The Jingying found out dozens of vehicles. To measure the walking vehicles, it was necessary to measure the specific length of the dustpan of Yingzhouwei, and then built a camp fortress to gradually move the place where the war took place from Daming to the border of Beilu , from defender to attacker.

Changing the shape of offense and defense, and pushing the front line into the enemy's line, is the main purpose of the Beijing camp's outing of the fortress.

This is the first camp fortress of Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiguang's war mission is to build 24 camps from Xifengkou to Daningwei, and from Daningwei to Guangningwei to reduce the passiveness in the northeast.

"More than [-] people were beheaded in the formation, and Li Rusong chased them away, beheaded another [-] people, and the remaining [-] people escaped, and our troops were injured..." Yang Wen frowned as he looked at the battle report and said, "Our casualties are zero, only In the third battalion, the second department, the third division, the fourth bureau, and the sixth vehicle, there was a Frang machine operator, who was slightly injured because of the exploding bomb."

Four chariots make up a bureau, and the master of one bureau will be the commander-in-chief; the four bureaus are one division, and the master of the first division will be the commander-in-chief; the four divisions are one division, and the commander of one division will be the commander-in-chief; The chief will be the general;
There are 20 people in a car, 10 regular soldiers, and 10 odd soldiers.

Daming's casualties were too few, so few that the battle reports were reported, and the officials were afraid that the generals would lie about the battle losses again.

This is not a rare thing. After all, the grain that Daming transported from Nanya to the capital always caught fire and sank inexplicably, so the court officials who did this always thought that Qi Jiguang was also concealing the damage.

"Let's report it like this." Qi Jiguang wrote a seal on the battle report. If there is no dead person, there is no dead person. Every soldier has a father and a mother, and death cannot be deceived. Don't be afraid of this trouble.

What is it is what it is, winning is winning, losing is losing, Qi Jiguang will not whitewash the peace, as for officials in the court and public opinion, it is not a battlefield for soldiers, just leave it to His Majesty and Yuanfu to deal with it .

Yang Wenpu spread out a map and said: "There are [-] households in the Tuman Khantu, namely Chahar Wanhu Naomaoda, Kalkha Wanhu Subahai, and the right-wing Ordos Wanhu Qiebahai. Huangtaiji, Chibaduer from Yongxie Buwanhu, and Lalike from Tumote Wanhu, each of them has at least [-] cavalry for dispatch."

"And the Yingzhou Guard we just defeated belonged to Chahar Wanhu's brains. If Tumen received the news of our invasion, they would gather [-] households and attack any of my routes with superior forces. It might be dangerous. "

"It's snowing, and it may be difficult for them to rush to help each other, but we still have to be careful."

"We only have 1 people after all."

Yang Wen was not optimistic about this attack, because the enemy was still extremely powerful. Tumen had at least 6 people in their hands, while the Jingying only had [-].

Qi Jiguang nodded and said: "Your worry is quite right. The fighting methods of grassland people are completely different from those of Ming Dynasty. Da Ming marched with enough food and grass, and marched at every step, while the grassland people paid attention to coming and going like the wind when fighting. The weather is not in the north, but they still have the possibility of gathering superior forces."

The Beiyuan court was defeated by the Ming general Sapphire in Yuerhai, and then the Beiyuan court became the Beiyuan Khan court. As time went by, the Beiyuan was divided into three parts, divided into Wala, Tatar, and Wuliangha Three big clans.

Yexian who defeated and captured Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen in Tumubao was the Grand Master of Wala. At that time, the Khan of the grassland was Tuotuobuhua. Dulu inherited the Khan throne.

After Mandulu's death, there was no heir, and Borjijin Batu Mengke inherited the position of Khan, calling himself Dayuan Khan, and Ming Dynasty called him Dayan Khan or the little prince.

The little prince gradually unified the tribes of Monan Mongolia and became a well-deserved Khan.

The little prince divided Monan Mongolia into 6 ten thousand households, divided into left and right wings, and enfeoffed the various sons as Fanping of the Great Khan.

The left wing is: Chahar Wanhu, Wuliangha Wanhu, and Kalkha Wanhu; the right wing is: Ordos Wanhu, Tumed Wanhu, and Yongxiebu Wanhu.

After the death of the little prince, Altan Khan of the Tumote tribe rose strongly, the left wing began to flee eastward, and the tribes of Uliangha were annexed, finally forming a confrontation between the left and right wings.

The barbarian Khan Bor Jijin Tumen has always regarded Altan Khan as a traitor, but his strength is not as good as others, so he can only swallow his anger and steal horses and kill each other with Altan Khan.

The Tuman Khan Tumen are proud of the golden blood of Genghis Khan Temujin, with more than [-] subordinates.

It is completely different from the Ming army's combat method. The Ming army's marching method is one step at a time. The forward, the central army, and the supplies attack one place, occupy one place, and continue to advance. There is no psychological burden at all, and their fighting style is to come and go like the wind.

With a distance of two hundred miles, it may take five or six days for the Ming army to arrive, but it may take less than a day for the grassland tribes to gather.

Even if the weather is not in the soil, because the snowy ground freezes, the assembly speed of the grassland will be greatly reduced, but it must not be taken lightly.

Qi Jiguang made arrangements for the army, and after resting overnight in Yingzhouwei, he continued to advance towards Daningwei.

At this time, Borjijin Tumen, the Suzerain of Mongolia, Great Khan, also received the news of the Ming army's invasion, because the defeated soldiers from the self-operated state guard had proved the strength of the Ming army in this battle.

And Tumen quickly figured out who was attacking, Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang's tooth flag is easy to distinguish. Although the rout soldiers are all soldiers, they still know who killed them.

Naomao said in horror, "Should we retreat immediately? That's Qi Jiguang."

Qi Jiguang's name is like a nightmare. Tumen wanted to reproduce Altan Khan's experience many times, defeating the Ming army in Jizhou from Xifengkou and Beigukou, plundering the capital, and forcing the Ming court officials to pay tribute.

But Tumen went through countless attacks and trials, losing troops and generals, but to no avail.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. Qi Jiguang's name is like a strong shield that can't be trapped in the capital of Ming Dynasty, which made Tumen suffer a lot.

The victim Dong Huli, whose reward was wiped out and his nephew was captured, Dong Huli heard that Qi Jiguang called, thought about it seriously, and got an answer he thought was correct.

"Qi Jiguang's attack this time should be just to achieve the same record as Li Chengliang's conquest of Gule Village in Liaodong. When it snowed heavily, he suddenly went out to fight, and then annihilated a tribe, asking for a reward from the court." Dong Huhu said solemnly. .

"How do you know that?" Tumen looked at Dong Huli. Dong Huli was actually a Wanhu, a Wanhu of the Wuliangha tribe, but the Wuliangha tribe had been annexed by the Mongolian left wing fleeing east, so Dong Huhu had no real substance. Qi Jiguang also completely annihilated the ten thousand household titles and the few soldiers and horses in the headquarters.

Dong Huli said very affirmatively: "People in the Central Plains like internal strife. Li Chengliang from Liaodong achieved results in the fortress, but Qi Jiguang, who had trained in the capital for three years, did nothing. Qi Jiguang had to prove his existence, so he went out to fight in the fortress."

Tumen looked at Dong Huli for a while and asked: "People in the Central Plains like internal strife, just like us grassland people, right? Why are we here? Didn't Al Da Khan drive us here?"

"Is it necessary for Qi Jiguang to prove his existence? Isn't he dazzling enough? We have lost troops in his hands time and time again. As long as he is in the north for one day, we will not be able to break through the Xifeng Pass and fulfill our long-cherished wish."

Tumen's words are not polite at all. Although Tumen did not punish Dong Huhu for his defeat in the first year of Wanli, they are naturally suspicious of Dong Huhu's words.

Dong Huli said that Qi Jiguang went out to fight, and even captured Yingzhouwei, in order to find a sense of presence.

The question is, do people like Qi Jiguang need to find a sense of presence?The existence of Qi Jiguang made some people feel like a stick in their throats.

Therefore, Tumen judged that Qi Jiguang's goal in this outing was definitely not to train troops or find a sense of presence. After winning, he would return to the Great Wall immediately, and Qi Jiguang would definitely continue to attack.

Tumen and Qi Jiguang fought for eight full years. Although they fought against Qi Jiguang's general Chen in the next three years, Tumen still knew Qi Jiguang well.

Qi Jiguang will never be reconciled to finally overcoming all difficulties and being able to go out to fight, just to get back a battalion state guard.

"Report! Report! Khan, Fumin Station and Kuanhe City were breached by the Ming army! Yaqi Chen Dacheng, soldiers of Jizhou!" A herald rushed in, and Tumen suddenly stood up.

Sure enough, as he expected, the Ming army's attack was definitely not the same as the previous pacification of Gule Village, but with a strong purpose, and this purpose was naturally the land under Tumen's back, the Great Ningwei.

"Khan, what should I do!" Naomao Da vigorously pulled at the few hairs on his head, extremely anxious.

The Ming army came aggressively, and it was Qi Jiguang who came.

When Tumen's northwest wind blew fiercely and the sky was cold, a layer of cold sweat rose on his back, but he couldn't panic. As a Khan, if he panicked, he would be in big trouble, unlike some courtiers who were unclear , Tumen are too aware of how terrifying the three words Qi Jiguang are.

"Don't panic!" Tumen waved his hand and said calmly, "Let me think about it."

In the cold wind, Tumen really thought of a way, that is to attack the enemy and save them. This is also the path dependence formed by the long-term battle. When Ming attacked, the grassland tribes would raid the places where Ming had to rescue, and Ming would definitely withdraw.

Then Tumen thought about the place where the enemy must be saved, and after thinking about it, he thought of the Liaodong capital, Liaoyang.

"Let Su Bahai of Kalkha Wanhu lead the army and horses of the headquarters, and immediately press against Liaodong, call other Wanhu from other tribes, and lead troops to come immediately!" Tumen made a decision under the urgent situation.

The relationship between the Tuman tribe or the Chahar tribe and the five tribes of Khalkha is not very harmonious. The five tribes of Khalkha are known as the five major battalions, and they have 2 horses in their hands. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong. The five parts of Khalkha are also helpless.

At this time, let Kalkha Wanhu quickly lead the headquarters to surprise Liaodong, and then gather the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, or block them, or escape.

Although this decision is not wise, it is definitely not wrong.

Tumen looked at Dong Huli and said: "Dong Huli, take the headquarters to Fufu to prevent Qi Jiguang from advancing. You must delay Qi Jiguang for a day and buy time for our department."

"Me?" Dong Huli asked blankly: "Can I stop it?"

"You can." Tumen nodded confidently.

Contradictions are everywhere, so struggles are everywhere. The relationship between Dong Huhu and the five Khalkha ministries is extremely close. At this time, Dong Huhu was naturally sent to fill in the line, or to die.

Dong Huli left Daningwei's Khan's golden-roofed tent in a daze, and stood in the snow, feeling a little confused for a while. Going to Fufu to stop Qi Jiguang was going to die. He knew Qi Jiguang's horror deeply. After all, his nephew Buha appeared It is still in the hands of the Ming Army.

But if he doesn't get rich, he will die immediately, and Tumen will definitely kill him.

Dong Huli set off, from Yingzhouwei to Daningwei, there is a pass in the middle, which is Fushu (Jianping County today).

When Dong Huli rushed to Fushu, he was relieved, and there was no need to be embarrassed. Qi Jiguang's forward had already occupied this place, and Dong Huli didn't have to guard here anymore.

The speed of soldiers is precious, and the marching speed of the Ming army is much faster than what Tumen knew.

Of course, Dong Huli will try to regain this pass. Six parts of mountains, three parts of water and one part of fields are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Dong Huhu asked two hundred households to lead 200 people to try to attack. The result of the battle was that if Dong Huhu hadn't run fast, Li Rusong might have directly chopped off his horse.

Let two hundred households try it out, it is already worthy of Tuman Khan's golden blood.

Dong Huli didn't hesitate much, and immediately started to go north. He couldn't go back to Daningwei, otherwise Tuman Khan would kill him to sacrifice the flag, so he simply went north to join forces with Kalkha Wanhu and Subahai. When attacking Liaoyang, the enemy must be rescued, so even Tuman Khan can't do anything to him.

Qi Jiguang's Chinese army rushed to Fuju, which belonged to the Dading Prefecture of the Liao Dynasty in the Liao Dynasty, and was still called the Fushu County of Dading Prefecture under the Liao Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed Daning Road. Guard jurisdiction.

Nearly 200 years have passed, and the earth and stone city walls of that year have been deliberately destroyed. Because the water plants are not lush enough, the place is increasingly dilapidated. There are only some ruins and walls, still quietly telling the glory of the past.

Li Rusong started to march again. Now that he had been exposed, Li Rusong's vanguard did not cover up. With a large number of carriages, he went straight to the Daningwei. When he was twenty miles away from the Daningwei, he began to set up camp, and then the scouts started a fierce confrontation.

Naomao Da led 5000 people out of Daningwei to attack Li Rusong's vanguard army.

Li Rusong's purpose was to establish a stronghold for advancement, occupying a favorable terrain, and lined up the 250 boxcars he carried in order to serve as artillery positions, and bombarded the brain hair. After picking up more than 200 corpses, it was too late to drag them away, so they fled back to the city.

Li Rusong, the champion of martial arts, can effectively kill sixty paces with his bow and arrow in the wild. No matter how far away, he can't shoot, and he can't shoot accurately.

The range of the cannon is eighty paces, that is to say, even if everyone in Beilu is stronger than Li Rusong, it will take a round of shelling to enter the range, and the distance of sixty paces is the firing distance of the Great Fire Gun. , and the Pingyi gun, which shoots more accurately, is also the nightmare of the Beilu. The Beilu who is a little stronger will be named one by one by the Pingyi gun.

Pingyi blunderbusses use four coins for gunpowder and three coins for projectiles, and are specifically responsible for sniping and killing armored soldiers within sixty paces.

After Naomao Da suffered a big defeat, he returned to the city and came to the Jinding tent to plead guilty. After hearing Naomao Da's report, Tumen had a clear understanding that this Ming army was actually The army dominated by firearms, the use of artillery and firecrackers, is very proficient.

"Get up, it's not your fault, it's your opponent who is too strong." The Mongolian suzerain Great Khan Tuman Khan waved his hand weakly and said, "It's not your fault."

The barbarian Khantus have no firearms, and the bows and arrows they depend on for a living cannot cause any harm to their opponents at all.

The sky has changed. This is the biggest feeling the Tuman Khantus have felt since they fought against the Ming army. The use of firearms and their powerful power have given the Tuman Khantus a backward fighting style, which will inevitably be eliminated. Feel.

And Tumen is very sure that this is not an illusion.

Qi Jiguang's style of play is actually the same as that of Weng Wanda, the governor of the Northwest at the time. After the artillery bombarded the fire, he used firearms to cause large-scale damage to the enemy.

The military discipline of the northern captives is not strict, or there is no military discipline, and the loss is slightly greater. If it exceeds one achievement, it will be defeated, and the psychological deterrence caused by artillery is even more frightening.

"Sweating profusely, what should I do?" Naomaoda stood up from the ground, his legs were still swinging, and he couldn't even stand still. The blossoming blood lotuses exploded from the flower bomb made Naomaoda still have lingering fears , still in shock.

Fighting with so many firearms is really overwhelming, and I don't know how to fight.

"It's too late to wait for the news of Hai, gather your troops and prepare to leave immediately!" After careful consideration, Tumen planned to move forward strategically.

The Ming army's firepower was too strong, Tumen was not sure, he forced his soldiers to charge into the battle, whether the scimitars in the hands of these prairie men would strike at the Ming army or at him, the Khan.

"Qi Jiguang is so powerful, if he doesn't go to the northwest to beat I Dahan, why come here and beat us!" Tumen said angrily.

The hairy head said in a low voice: "In the first year of Longqing, we broke through Xifengkou, entered Yongping, and plundered the Luanhe area. In the second year of Longqing, Qi Jiguang went from south to north. Isn't it just to guard against us? He garrisoned Jizhou, Yongping, and Shanhaiguan are the ones who hit us."

The fact is also true, Qi Jiguang from south to north, is to guard the northern gate of the capital, Jizhou.

When Tumen heard this, he didn't lose his breath, he coughed angrily, pointed at his hairy head, and said angrily, "What do you mean, I should hit you, right?"

"No, profusely, I didn't mean that." Brain hairy immediately waved his hands again and again, shaking his head like a rattle and said hastily.

Tumen sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "The Great Ningwei has given over to them."

This is how grassland people fight. It doesn't depend on gaining power in one city or one place. They fight if they can beat them, and run away if they can't.

The next day, the Jizhou army led by Chen Dacheng rushed to the Daningwei City. During this journey, Chen Dacheng, who had the advantage of firearms, was two days later than Qi Jiguang's Beijing camp.

Chen Dacheng was in charge of supporting the West Route Army, Qi Jiguang was in charge of attacking for the Central Route Army, and Li Chengliang was in charge of intercepting reinforcements for the East Route Army.

Tuman Khan's response was to shrink his troops, completely shrinking the troops along the West Route Army, and then sent Dong Huliu to block Qi Jiguang on the middle road, and sent the five Khalkhas to harass Liaoyang.

There is no problem with this response, but the fault lies in seriously underestimating the strength of the Ming army. The Ming army is aggressive and marching too fast, and the fault is that the local barbarians collapsed too quickly.

The confrontation lasted for two days. When Chen Dacheng's logistics arrived, Qi Jiguang sent two battalions of vehicles to conduct a tentative attack on the city.

Everyone looked in the direction of Daningwei City, and Qi Jiguang observed the battlefield with binoculars.

The morale of the enemy army was very low. Qi Jiguang saw that the Beilu soldiers had no fighting spirit. After all, in the contact battle two days ago, the terrifying power of Daming's firearms had frightened some people, and the enemy's armaments were not strong enough. Excellent, with a very low armor rate. One or two out of 100 people have iron armor, and more than a dozen have leather armor. The most important thing is that they have no firearms.

In the heavy snow, the Beilu lost their most important maneuverability, and the Beilu relied on the city wall to defend and occupy a certain position, but the low earthen city wall became insignificant in front of the nearly thousand artillery pieces of the Ming Dynasty, and the most important There are many people and the enemy's will to resist is not tenacious.

The time, place, and people are right, and the enemy does not occupy them. On the battlefield, the balance of victory has begun to tilt.

The general offensive began, and the artillery of the Ming Army began to roar. Under the cover of the artillery fire, the chariot battalion of the Ming Army approached the city wall with the main and side wagons carrying the big guns.

The enemy's blocking power is weaker than imagined. The enemy on the city wall can't lift their heads under the suppression of artillery fire, let alone defending the city with archery and rolling logs. The city gate was blown up, and the Ming army placed Gunpowder blew up the city gate.

This trick is to imitate the method of Lu Song Governor of Ming Dynasty, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Bo Yin Zhengmao of Sishui. The traditional siege engine is too slow. Put gunpowder in the coffin, push the coffin cart to the city gate, ignite the gunpowder, and wait. The gunpowder exploded, and the city gate opened with a powerful explosion.

The city gate was not filled with civil engineering, which proved that the enemy had no intention of resisting to the end.

Tanma quickly reported that Tumen led the headquarters and fled from the north gate. Tumen, who had a large number of horses, fled extremely fast. Completely captured.

The Jingying and Jizhou troops attacking Daningwei had 3 soldiers at full strength, and these 3 soldiers would not be able to complete the siege, so Tumen could still escape...strategic transfer.

There were [-] captives in the Great Ning Guard, led by Naomao Da, who was in charge of the rear. Tumen were able to escape, but Naomao Da was not so lucky. He was captured in a cesspit in the city, and Naomao Da pinned his hopes on the Ming army He won't be found, and he will escape when the Great Ning Guard is lax.

After the capture of Daningwei, Qi Jiguang led the Beijing camp for a short period of repairs. He did not intend to stop, but after the repairs, he would once again send his troops northward and continue to attack Quanningwei, using offense instead of defense, forcing Khalkha Wang Wu's troops withdrew from Liaoyang.

Standing on the wall of the old city of Daningwei, the sight is full of devastation. The once glorious Ning Palace has completely collapsed and been replaced by a large tent with a golden roof.

There is a Prince Ning Mansion in the Great Ningwei. In April of the 24th year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao of Taizu canonized Zhu Quan as King Ning.

Prince Ning's Mansion was completely modeled on the reduced scale of the Nanjing Imperial City. The scale of the mansion is magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings.

Time flies, with the relocation of Daningwei and Prince Ning's mansion, only the toumen remains, and the two walls of the toumen are inlaid with two big characters, eight feet high and six feet wide, carved with bluestone. Destroyed in the hands of the northern captives.

Qi Jiguang stood in front of the gate of King Ning's Mansion and stopped for a long time.

He can understand Emperor Wen's decision to abandon the Great Ningwei. Qi Jiguang has excellent military talent, and he can understand Emperor Zuwen's strategic thinking.

"Zheng Xiao's "Emperor Ming Siyi Kao" and Yan Congjian's "Zhou Yu Zhou Zilu" all said that the reason why Emperor Wen abandoned Daningwei was to pay Wuliangha Sanwei, that is, Duoyan Sanwei helped Emperor Wen calm down , Emperor Wen rewarded the three guards of Wuliangha with the ninety cities of Daningwei, what does Qi Shuai think?" Ma Fang, the deputy commander, also stood in front of the gate of Prince Ning's mansion, and said with a lot of emotion.

Qi Jiguang sneered and shook his head and said: "It's nonsense, Emperor Wen Jingnan still uses Wuliangha Sanwei to help?"

"During the Jingtai period, the three guards of Wuliangha played against Emperor Jingtai, and asked to be sent to the Daningwei to be a herdsman. He was severely reprimanded by Emperor Jingtai, and he was not allowed to participate in activities in the Daningwei. Why did Emperor Wen abandon the land to reward the three guards of Duoyan?"

"If you don't read the history of the country and arrange it at will, these Confucian scholars are really hard to describe."

Ma Fang asked suspiciously: "Does Qi Shuai think that Emperor Wen is right to abandon the land?"

Qi Jiguang nodded solemnly and said, "Well, the abandonment of Daningwei was extremely reasonable at the time."

"The main reason is that it is expensive. Daningwei consumes millions of stones a year in food and pay, but has no output. There is only an army and no people. How can it be self-sufficient? Abandoning it is a helpless move. Emperor Wen's idea is actually very simple. Instead of defense, the cost of conquest is much lower than that of defending the frontier."

"How could Emperor Wen have thought that after Yongle, the prosperity of Wen and Wu would intensify."

The abandonment of the Great Ningwei was extremely reasonable in Qi Jiguang's view. It was expensive, there were no civilians, only the army, and the food cultivated was not enough to consume.

Yubian?During the Yongle period, there was no such thing as northern borders at all. Emperor Wen made five northern expeditions, and wherever the Ming army went, that was the border.

Replacing defense with offense is the way of thinking during the Yongle period, just like what Qi Jiguang is doing now.

　Attacking is cheaper than defending, and the cost of defending is extremely expensive. Emperor Yongle, who made the decision to abandon the Great Ningwei, never imagined that after Yongle, the Ming army would lose the ability to attack.It's embarrassing.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! !
