Chapter 331 The Dongjiang Army's Action

Now the most powerful ones in Houjin are the four Baylors, namely the Big Baylor Daishan, the Second Baylor Amin, the Third Baylor Mang Gurtai, and the Fourth Baylor Huang Taiji.

Manggurtai has been abolished, and even riding a horse is difficult, and he has lost the qualification to inherit the Khan throne.

Erbeile Amin commanded the Xianglan Banner, and was supported by his brother Jierhalang. He had outstanding military exploits and was quite ambitious.But from the perspective of closeness, he is Nurhachi's nephew, and basically there is no hope.

Dabeile Daishan led the two banners of Zhenghong and Xianghong, and his sons Yuetuo, Shuotuo, Sahalian and others who were accustomed to fighting, had strong strength.

Moreover, since his father Chu Ying was killed, Dorobel Dudu has been following Daishan, and he is the only follower.Now leading the Zhenglan Banner can be regarded as a person who represents goodness.

Huang Taiji originally tried his best to show that he wanted to put Mangurtai's Zhenglan Banner under his control, so as to strengthen his own strength.

But Nurhachi handed over the broken Zhenglan Banner to Dudu, and the complete Inlaid White Banner to his youngest son Duoduo, who was temporarily led by his brother Azig.

In this way, the contenders for Khan's position have an additional emerging force.

Relying on Nurhachi's favor, the concubine Abahai won fifteen cattle records for her second son Dorgon, while the eldest son Azige and the youngest son Duoduo shared the inlaid white flag.

But this emerging force has an obvious weakness, that is, it is too young.The oldest, Azige, was less than nine years old, and the youngest, Duduo, was only nine years old. Although he was loved by Nurhachi, he was hard to convince.

As for Huang Taiji, he only had Zhengbai Qi in his hands, he was not high in qualifications, and his military exploits were not the greatest, but he was not tempted to inherit the position of Khan, and he was of course no exception.

Huang Taiji is good at making friends, and has a close relationship with Yue Tuo, Sahalian, Jierhalang and other young Baylors.Some senior generals in the Eight Banners also admire him very much.

But these are not important, what is important is Nurhachi's attitude.

Once, Nurhachi asked Huang Taiji seemingly casually: "Why did Jierhalang, Degelei, Yuetuo and others leave their father and brother behind after they dispersed, and only want to send you back home?"

This shows that Huang Taiji was cultivating his own power early on, and even Nurhachi could see it.The seemingly random question actually revealed Nurhachi's vigilance.

Perhaps, this is why Nurhachi did not increase the force of Huang Taiji, but gave Du Du the inlaid blue flag, and the reason why he gave the inlaid white flag to his youngest son!
Huang Taiji also realized this and began to restrain himself.But as soon as this Nala Zhongming came out, he immediately became alert.

Perhaps Father Khan will not be deceived by this little trick of division and disintegration. Even after Shuerhaqi was killed, Amin was not implicated, and he was still promoted to one of the four major Baylors, and he was in charge of a banner man, not to mention Huang Taiji This dear son?
But can other contenders for Khan position let go of this opportunity to attack? Huang Taiji believes that even if it is not immediately, the hidden danger will exist for a long time, and he does not know when it will break out.

Frowning tightly, Huang Taiji paced back and forth in the room, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ming Ting's conspiracy was too damaging, it seemed to be aimed at him.

Return Yehenala, return Zhongming, can you give me a more disgusting name of "Death Zhongming", it's as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Which bastard came up with a plan, if he catches you, he will strangle you to death for an hour with his own hands, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Huang Taiji twitched his face twice, and gritted his teeth secretly.

Before Luo Xiujin arrived, the captain of the personal guard came to report, and the sentinels sent information that a part of the Dongjiang Army crossed the Yalu River and occupied Danshan Fort;

Huang Taiji thought for a while, and waved his hand to order to continue to monitor and investigate, but he didn't have any intention of dispatching troops.

The coastal area and the area along the river are too vast, and the Hou Jin did not have so many troops stationed to guard it.Therefore, all the ten miles near the shore have been abandoned, and only a few sentry cavalry are left to spy and monitor.

However, Huang Taiji and Du Du were stationed in Fenghuang City and Kuandian respectively, and they didn't leave immediately after hearing the police.If they dispatched immediately upon hearing the spy report, they would probably only be able to see the backs of the Ming army boarding the ship and entering the sea.

According to the tactics formulated by Hou Jin, after the Ming army went deep, they would use several inland garrisons to attack with the advantage of mobility.

To put it bluntly, Hou Jin still believed that the field battle was his advantage, and it was difficult for the Ming army to catch up.But in fact, the Ming army is working hard to narrow the gap, and the speed will be beyond the expectations of the Hou Jin army.

.....................

Although Liaoshen has become the ruling center of the Later Jin Dynasty, Jianzhou is still a place that it cannot give up.

Because the city of Hetuala has extraordinary significance.Nurhachi is Khan, the name of the founding of the country is Jin (historically known as Houjin), and the destiny of Jianyuan was established here.After the capital was moved to Liaoyang, Hetuala was honored as Xingjing.

To put it bluntly, the city of Hetuala is the land of prosperity in the late Jin Dynasty, and it cannot be ignored for political or psychological reasons.

The Dongjiang headquarters obviously saw this, and gained experience from Mao Chenglu's long-distance raids, and began to move northward along the Yalu River continuously, attracting and holding back the attention of Du Du's headquarters.

The occupation of Danshan Fort was a tentative move.Learned from the advance of the Liaoxi Ming army, the real purpose of the Dongjiang army is Zhenjiang Fort.

Although Zhenjiang Fort has been demolished, just like Jinzhou and Dalinghe City, after receiving the support of a group of new-style artillery and martial arts artillery officers, Mao Wenlong personally led a group of troops to land ashore at night and occupy Zhenjiang Fort .

If Jiannu came to attack, the important task of guarding Zhenjiang Fort would be handed over to the deputy general Chen Jisheng. The garrison was set at [-], and they would be dead soldiers who would fight to the end and never back down.

The current Dongjiang Town has been expanded, and the number of people in the association has reached [-].

In addition, the Zhenjiang Fort was not very big, and 8000 people worked day and night, and it took only one day and one night to complete the field fortifications around the fort.Moreover, sufficient ammunition supplies and weapons and equipment were transported into the fort.

After the work was completed, seeing that Jiannu had not been dispatched, Mao Wenlong commanded the officers and soldiers to build a circular fortification near the river.

According to the plan formulated in advance, this semi-circular fortification near the river was called the Queyue Great Array.

That's right, using trench parapets instead of chariots, grenadier carts and flintlock guns instead of strong bows and crossbows, and the firepower of the Jiangshang Navy behind them is the imitation of Liu Yu's breakthrough of the Wei cavalry's Queyue formation.

The distance between Queyuezhen and Zhenjiang Fort's circular fortifications is less than two miles, and they can support each other with artillery, which has become the "horn force" often said in military books.

The obsession with Zhenjiang Fort, and even the Zhenjiang area, made Mao Wenlong finally make up his mind and dared to fight Jiannu face to face.

"Jiannu completely abandoned the ten-mile land by the river, and even Zhenjiang Fort did not defend it. I am afraid that they will not attack." Chen Jisheng wanted to make achievements in the defense of Zhenjiang Fort. Broken blood.

Mao Wenlong held up the binoculars to look around, and put it down after a long while, and said: "If he doesn't attack, we will continue to expand the occupied area and build this defense across the river into an unbreakable formation."

Gou Zhenhuai put down the binoculars, pointed to the front and said: "Jiannu's sentry cavalry is annoying, stay at night, send people out to ambush, and come back tomorrow in the daytime, let them know how powerful they are."

"This plan is very clever." Mao Wenlong smiled and nodded, agreeing.

Gou Zhenhuai smiled and said, "The news that the newly promoted Jianzhou Commander Nala Zhongming is stationed in Tieshan should be known by Jiannu soon, right?"

Mao Wenlong nodded, and said: "The news has already spread, and Jian Nu may not pay attention to it, nor may he act rashly."

"It doesn't matter whether you come to kill Nala Zhongming or not." Gou Zhenhuai sneered, and said, "Just let Jiannu know that there is such a thing, the more the better."

"The imperial court—" Chen Jisheng said hesitantly, "This move may not be useful, but it will cause more trouble."

Mao Wenlong also felt that it was unnecessary, seeing the old man speak out for him, he gave Chen Jisheng a grateful look.

"It's just that more than a hundred soldiers were sent to protect him, so it's not a trouble." Gou Zhenhuai smiled lightly and said, "I don't see any effect at the moment, and it's only short-term. In the future, it may be of great use, it's up to me Unexpected."

Mao Wenlong signaled to Chen Jisheng not to ask any more questions with his eyes, and then talked about the defensive matter, which was like exposing the matter to the past.

In fact, Gou Zhenhuai didn't fully understand it, but he knew that this was the emperor's intention, so he naturally tried to explain that it was very useful, so he didn't dare to have any doubts.

As far as the current situation is concerned, according to Gou Zhenhuai's estimate, as long as the imperial court can guarantee the payment, food, weapons and ammunition, Ping Liao is very sure.As for why Nala Zhongming was created, he also felt a little redundant.

Don't look at Houjin still occupying most of Liaodong, but the large territory has become a burden.It is really that the force is limited and it is difficult to control it.

According to the output of Liaodong at that time, even if there was no war, the siege and blockade alone could exhaust Houjin.

Of course, the emperor has already said that natural disasters are imminent, and the timetable for Ping Liao is three years at most.Therefore, light consumption is definitely not enough.

"The field battle still depends on the car array." Chen Jisheng's words interrupted Gou Zhenhuai's thoughts, "Kong Youde and Zhang Pan defeated Jiannu with this, and Marshal Qi also has a successful method to rely on."

Mao Wenlong stroked his beard, and said thoughtfully: "The formation of chariots alone may not be enough, cavalry is indispensable."

Gou Zhenhuai didn't say a word, but the imperial court dispatched a lot of horses for the Dongjiang army, and also formed horseback musketeers.But the cavalry that Mao Wenlong mentioned obviously did not refer to this kind.

Horseback hacking, if you want to be able to fight against Jiannu, you can't train it in a short time.Perhaps, the Mongolian tribes can help.

With the advancement of the Ming army in western Liaoning, Huduntu will also lead his troops back east, and wants to use Yixian as the place to receive reward silver and open the horse market.

The court has not given a clear answer to this, Gou Zhenhuai thinks it is a good thing.It is the imperial court's established strategy to unite Mongolia and fight against the Jin Dynasty. The return of the Chahar tribe to the east will also cause a lot of pressure on the Hou Jin, right?

Moreover, the fact that the Chahar tribe occupied the area north of Yixian County meant that it prepared the flanks of Jinzhou and Daling River for the Ming army, and saved a lot of worries about moving eastward?

........................

Different perspectives lead to different conclusions.

Xiong Tingbi also supported the return of the Chahar tribe to the east. Of course, he would not have expected that Huduntu was not staring at Houjin, but the Khalkha tribe, who would strive to realize the dream of unifying the tribes of Mongolia.

Only the emperor Zhu Youxiao can see through Huduntu's mind at once and predict the result.He did not reply for a long time, and he was also full of worries, trying to find a way to avoid it.

Historically, after Sun Chengzong ruled Liaodong, the Later Jin seemed to have stopped for several years.

But in fact, Hou Jin conquered the Khalkha tribe several times, obtained a large number of cattle and sheep, and with the help of Huduntu, he completely wiped out the Khalkha tribes who were close to the Ming Dynasty and stabilized the rear.

But now the continuous actions of the Ming army have restrained Houjin's troops, making it difficult for him to take out his hands to attack the Khalkha tribe.

The further eastward movement of the Chahar Department is likely to disrupt the current situation.Either it caused internal turmoil in the Khalkha tribe, and the tribes turned to Houjin; or they did not dare to compete with Houjin, resulting in a gap in Yixian County, threatening the flanks of Jinzhou and Dalinghe.

Don't think that Huduntu is a tough guy because he has the ambition to unify Mongolia.Historically, he was so harsh towards Houjin that he couldn't even send troops to reinforce the Khalkha tribe who was attacked by Houjin.

Therefore, it is simply unreliable to hope that the Chaha tribe will become a barrier for the Ming army in western Liaoning.In the battle with Houjin, even the Khalkha tribe was stronger than the Huduntu.

Zhu Youxiao's deeper plan is not to expect the Khalkha tribe to be tough with Hou Jin, but to join forces with the Khalkha tribe to attack the Horqin tribe who are pro-Houjin with the cooperation of the Ming army.

It was dark at night, and Zhu Youxiao hadn't thought of a perfect plan yet.Feeling depressed, I simply walked out of the Nuan Pavilion and walked under the stars to meditate.

Before he knew it, Zhu Youxiao had already reached the military plane on the west side of Qianqing Gate.

The candles in the room were brightly lit, and occasionally a figure flashed by the window, obviously busy with work.

"Which elder is on duty today?" Zhu Youxiao asked casually.

Wang Tiqian immediately took a step forward, bowed and replied: "Going back to the emperor, it is Sun Ge's department who is on duty."

Mr. Sun, at an early age, he still has to work the night shift.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and walked in.

A young Chengzhi rushed out with a document in his hand, but Wang Tiqian yelled in a high-pitched voice, so he didn't bump into the emperor.

"Long live, forgive me." Chengzhi was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Get up!" Zhu Youxiao's tone was calm, and he raised his hand, "Go and do your work, I'll see Master Sun."

At this time, Sun Chengzong in the inner room was alarmed, got up and greeted him, followed by two officials.

Zhu Youxiao took a step forward, and before Sun Chengzong could fully salute, he said, "Mr. Sun is exempt from the ceremony. Let's get back together!"

"Long live still haven't rested?" Sun Chengzong insisted on giving half a salute, and stretched out his hand to let the emperor in. "But there are important political affairs to deal with?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, walked into the inner room and sat down, and stretched out his hand to signal Teacher Sun to also sit down.Looking at the thick pile of documents on the table, he couldn't help sighing, "Master Sun is so old, it's really hard work to be on duty at the military aircraft department."

Sun Chengzong cupped his hands and said: "My minister is a bit older, but I don't need to sleep too much. The word "hard work" is really absurd."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, looked up at the map of Liaodong on the wall, and said slowly after a while: "Huduntu wants to return to the east and change Yi County to Mashi. It's really hard for me to decide!"
