Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 644 Battle of Burhatong River

Emperor Wanli knew very well that in Japan on the other side of the ocean, there was an existence who presumptuously called himself the "Renhuang" (the emperor is a modern name), which was simply slapping the face of the Ming Empire.

However, Emperor Wanli was the king of Zhongxing, which was rare in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. He was very clear about the priority between Jurchen and Japan. "Ignore the existence of the Jurchen matter, and then go on an expedition to Japan after the Jurchen matter has been dealt with.

For Wanli, the current peace talks are nothing more than an armistice agreement, and when the approaching Xiaoxiao is wiped out and he leads millions of heavenly soldiers away, it will be the day when Japan surrenders.

Therefore, there is no problem in making some appropriate concessions, but on the terms of preserving the face of the Ming court, Emperor Wanli would not give in a single step.

At present, while Wanli asked Xu Yiguan to coordinate the peace talks tomorrow, Emperor Wanli used the excuse of preparing for Japan to dispatch troops and dispatch generals, and the action of transporting food and grass did not stop.

For Wanli, if the peace talks are successful tomorrow, then the 10 troops stationed in Liaodong, Beijing, Shandong and North Zhili will be sent to Jurchen.

If the negotiation fails tomorrow, Wanli will put Nurhachi aside for the time being, and let the well-prepared Ming army drive the Japanese army into the sea.

Not long ago, Emperor Wanli of Beijing received a request for help from Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhachi, claiming that the Japanese invaders from North Korea cooperated with the rebels of Hamgyong Road to invade Jianzhou and plundered Nurhachi's wife, children, family members of hundreds of officials and many people, and asked the Ming court support.

Although Jianzhou Jurchen had been fighting for one year in a row, and the tribal people were extremely exhausted, he did not order all the ministries to repair, but ordered the whole army to attack Foduo and the mountain city of Neyin tribe.

Because he knew very well that being attacked by the Neyin tribe right now was a severe blow to his prestige.If he can't take revenge right away, his own tribe may betray him again, and the Jianzhou Jurchen Kingdom he established may fall apart.

Nurhachi carried out the first large-scale transformation and reconstruction of the Niulu organization. Referring to the Jurchen’s Meng’an Mou restraint, it was stipulated that 300 people are a Niulu, 5 Niuli are a Jiala, and 5 Jiala are a Gushan. Zhen, Jiala Ezhen, and Gushan Ezhen are the leaders, and the adapted Niu Lu is subordinate to the Yellow, White, Red, and Blue Banners respectively.

Hundreds of people at the front of the formation were wearing red cloth masks and iron pockets covered with red cloth. From a distance, it seemed that a wave of blood red rushed towards the interior of the bead house.

The North Korean soldiers even took advantage of the formation of the two sides to dig ditches and build earth barriers behind them, preparing to temporarily build a second line of defense, and at the same time build a higher shooting platform for the iron artillery.

One day, the two of them got drunk and got into an argument over who went to Lin Lamei first. The senior Souwen beat Sekesh. Attacked towards the northern city, and finally Nurhachi seized the opportunity to break through Foduo and the mountain city.

After the integration of the Yan and Zhechen tribes, Nurhachi has actually controlled most of the Jurchen forces in Jianzhou. Even though the Hunhe tribe is still semi-independent and the Jumi rule faces his pressure, they can only accept Nurhachi's reorganization.

But Nurhachi misunderstood Naoshima Naomo's intention to go out. He didn't want to fight with Jurchen outside the formation. He was pressing his main formation to the left wing of Zhenghongqi, so that Zhusheri could retreat back into the formation.

The territory of Wanyan tribe is between Sukesuhu, Neyin tribe and Yalujiang tribe. Now these three tribes have been integrated by Nurhachi, and Nurhachi's first strike is Wanyan tribe.

Nurhachi's attack was too fast, so fast that when Huafang Zhengxing received the news and did not even have time to mobilize troops to support the allies, the Neyin tribe was declared destroyed, and the two tribal chiefs, Souwen and Sekesh, both died in battle.

At the beginning of the war, Xiangxi Jiaqing misheard that Nurhachi had more than 3000 Jianzhou fine cavalry in his hands. After the two sides lined up, he heard his retainers report that Nurhachi would form a crane wing formation. After the cavalry was on the left and right wings, he dared not .

However, the overall killing rate of iron cannons is still very objective in Japan, and it was one of the most important killing weapons during the Warring States Period in Japan.

Now that his wife is dead and kidnapped, he simply married Lin Lamei as the side Fujin, and on the way back, he used the remaining power of the big victory over the Neyin tribe to directly integrate the Yalu River tribe into his own. among the tribe.

After receiving the threat from Nurhachi, Zhusheli had no choice but to ask for help from the Japanese army on the other side of the Tumen River. Hanafang Masako ordered Kasai Jiaqing to take command again, and led Nobushige Sanada and others to gather 1 people and fresh servants together with Naoshima Naomo's department. 2 troops left Huining and went north to Jianzhou.

After returning to Foala, he saw the devastated city, so he moved the city to the north side of Salhu City.And in the name of defeating the Japanese invaders and the prestige of defeating the Haixi Jurchen and the Neyin tribe, the five Jianzhou tribes were integrated.

Soon Nurhachi discovered that the organization of the right wing composed of the Zhusheli was very low. Although there was a wooden shield to block the arrows, after a few rounds of riding the archery feathers, there was already a commotion in the Zhusheli on the opposite right wing.

But I don't know who in the Nabeshima family gave the wrong order in a hurry, or who lost the fire. With the sound of an iron cannon, the ashigaru who were originally nervous because of the cavalry shooting shot themselves at the Jurchen Banner. Iron cannon pellets.

On the other hand, the armor styles and colors of the Japanese-Zhu Allied Forces are all kinds of flags behind them, and they all look like a mob.

This black flag is not engaged in production work, it is specially born for combat. Each black flag warrior is supported by 8 slaves or 4 banner households. He wears 2 layers of armor and pulls a 20-stone hard bow. It is Nurhachi's own personal guard. strength.

It didn't take long for the Longzhaosi family of the Chinese army to take action. The soldiers gradually moved the formation forward holding the wooden escape, and the iron artillery team began to suppress the Jurchen cavalry unit parading in front of them.

Not long after, some cavalry returned to their horses to report, "Report to Baylor, the range of the bandits' firearms is about 54 paces, 11 people were shot, [-] were killed or injured, and the others are all fine."

Nurhachi took this opportunity to vigorously promote the middle and lower class military nobles who had followed him to the east and west for meritorious service.

Hearing such an outrageous reason, Kato Kiyoshiki couldn't say a word.And because he had lost his allies in front, he could only retreat to Cicheng with the main force with hatred.

After watching it for a while, Naoshima shook his head and said, "The two sides have about the same strength, but the difference in combat power is obvious to the naked eye. If there is no support, the right wing of Zhu Sheri will be defeated by the opposite red army soon. Our side will fall into despair."

After a peace meeting with the 6000 troops of Zhusheli, the two sides lined up on the Haburtong River.

Fortunately, before the battle, I heard that the total number of cavalry in Nurhachi's hands was more than twice that of his own. He had already ordered people to prepare the wooden fence according to the battle of Changxiao, and prepared to deal with the impact of the Jurchen cavalry.

The main force of this battle is undoubtedly the more than 5000 people under the command of the Toyoharu family, but the formation is not centered on the Toyotomi family, but Naoshima Naomi is in the formation, and the Zhushari is on the right side of the formation. The courtiers lined up on the left side of the array.

His vassal, Narita Nobumasa, replied, "It was the Ryuzoji army who opened fire. They repelled the approaching Jurchen cavalry, but those Jurchen soldiers stood up again after being shot, my lord."

When Kato Kiyomasa led more than 1 people to the north to support, Lu Yu's son of Souwen who had fled from the south, Sobaite Lane, brought his 18-year-old sister Hu Najia to the south.

In fact, when he said this sentence, the meaning was already obvious, Xiangxi Jiaqing naturally understood his meaning, and said to him, "Then everything will be entrusted to Kaga Mamoru."

But it's a pity that in Nurhachi's eyes, the army on the opposite side seemed to be a sheep trapped in a cage, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

On the opposite side, Nurhachi had long heard that the Japanese army was equipped with firearms, so he was quite worried before the war.But after seeing his subordinates standing up again, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up proudly.

Although Foduo and the mountain city are not strong cities, they are built on the mountain after all, and there are two cities in the north and south by virtue of the two peaks, and they form horns to support each other.

In a rage, Nurhachi ordered all the men and children of the Neyin tribe to be killed, and the women were given to the tribal soldiers who had made meritorious service as their wives.

He first ordered the cavalry to go forward and shoot at the opposite side. Xiangxi Jiaqing had previously issued an order not to shoot without a military order, so most of them hid behind the wooden poles.

Yellow, white, red, and blue flags, they prepare their own armor to fight for Nurhachi in wartime, and engage in production for the people in peacetime.

After hearing this, Nurhachi replied without changing his face: "Go and try the situation on the left and right wings."

Therefore, when they saw the Jurchen soldiers standing up after falling off their horses, it had a huge impact on the confidence of the soldiers of the Longzhaosi family.

According to Liaodong intelligence, Nurhachi wanted to find his wife and children after breaking through the Neyin tribe, but he heard that his wife was still taken to North Korea.

"My lord, the Takushari are out of formation!" Narita Nobumasa reported to Kosai Jiaqing. At the same time, Naoshima Naomo nervously stood up from the formation and looked at the battlefield at the foot of the mountain.

Nurhachi personally led the Black Banner Army in the center. On the left were the Zhenghuang Banner led by Nurhachi and the Zhenghong Banner led by Shuerhaqi. On the right were the Zhengbai Banner led by Chu Ying and the Zhengbai Banner led by Murhaqi. blue flag.

Red has a great sense of oppression in people's hearts. Seeing that the red flag is coming towards him, the soldiers in Zhusheli are extremely nervous, and the warriors of the clan chiefs try their best to restrain their brothers.

Following Nurhachi's order, an army formation of thousands of people on the left wing of the Jurchen tribe changed. They were all wearing red clothes, and even if they didn't have red clothes, they still had red cloth strips wrapped around their waists and arms.

Immediately, he issued an order: "Send an order to Murhazi, let him lead the red flag to attack the opposite Zhusheli, and must break the formation for our army to be the first!"

Naoshima Naoshige, who was beside him, said disapprovingly, "Since the fire has already been fired, it is better to restrain the troops under the command. The fire under the command must have its own considerations."

At that time, the Neyin tribe had just followed the Japanese army's attack on Nurhachi and returned, which can be said to be a rewarding return.However, because the time was too tight, the loot was attacked by Nurhachi before it could be absorbed and replenished into the tribe.

Nurhachi has just integrated Jianzhou Jurchen. Although the penetration rate of armor is insufficient, the tribal people will use corresponding color cloth strips to make blouses and put them on the outside to distinguish them. From a distance, the 2 Jurchen army seems so powerful .

There were originally 8 Jianzhou Eight Divisions, but now Neyin has fallen against the sky, and the Yalu River Division has been annexed by Nurhachi's Sukesu Hu Division.

Naoshima Naoshima nodded, took his pocket hat from the attendant behind him and put it on his head, and went down the mountain without looking back.Xiangxi Jiaqing said to Narita Nobumasa, "I will give Hong Zuming and Zheng Bing an order to lead the North Korean army to fill the vacancy of the Longzou Temple family as a rear support."

The iron cannon is not a weapon that is sure to die in Japan, otherwise there would not be such armor in the world to deal with the iron cannon.

After careful questioning, it turned out that after Souwen and Sekesh went back, they both fell in love with Lin Lagui, the wife of Su Naiyi from the Yalu River, and they had a conflict over the distribution of this North Korean woman.

That is to say, every single member of this black flag army is the existence of small leaders in each flag.

"Where is the sound of iron cannons!" the blind Xiangxi Jiaqing exclaimed.

"What an idiot," Xiangxi Jiaqing heard and scolded, "We shouldn't have gone north to support in the first place."

Nurhaci stipulated that if the black flag Ding died in battle, the family would restore the original banner, but he was allowed to take back the slaves and banner Ding originally assigned to him to continue serving.

In an instant, dozens of Jurchen cavalry were shot and fell off their horses, but soon more than half of them stood up from the ground. Obviously, because of the armor on their bodies, the lead bullets from the iron cannon could not cause any substantial damage to them.

But soon some people were the first to break down, but they didn't run back, but broke away from the control of their superiors and ran out of the army formation shouting to kill Zhenghongqi.

The Wanyan tribe and the Zhechen tribe had no choice. The elders of the clans could only give up their control over the cities and listen to Nurhachi's new dispatch.

This integration lasted for half a year, and it was not until May 1594 that he declared it complete.After the integration, Nurhachi has more control over the Jianzhou Nujuzhen. He needs to find an opponent to try the sharp edge in his hand, and the most suitable one is the Zhusheli, the only one of the eight Jianzhou tribes that has not yet surrendered to him. (Yanbian).

When it was almost at the same level as the inside of Zhushe, Yiyilongzhaosijiazuqing rushed out to the right, facing Zhenghongqi on the flank.

The Dong'e tribe has long been half-integrated into the Sukesu guard tribe by Nurhachi. The Zhechen tribe who resisted the most fiercely was beaten the worst by Nurhachi. The tribal chiefs in many cities were killed by him. The existence of Nurhachi's anti-tune.

"The opposite side has moved the middle formation?" Nurhachi was a little puzzled when he saw the changes in front of him, but he quickly ordered Chu Ying to lead the Zhengbai Banner to fight, and he must fight back the opposite Chinese army.

At the same time, he will draw the most elite fighters from each banner, and use black as the banner to form a unique armed force.

Facing Nurhachi's more than [-] troops, although the Neyin tribe is weak, it should be no problem to stick to it until the arrival of Japanese reinforcements. How could it be possible to break through the city so early?

After hearing this answer, Xiangxi Jiaqing took a deep breath and said, "It's troublesome."

Although Nurhachi was worried about losing his wife and children, Nurhachi, who had calmed down, understood that the Japanese army in the south was not something that his tired army could deal with. After all, even the heavenly soldiers were smashed in the North Korean capital.

At this time, the armor rate of the Jurchen Ministry was not high, and good armor was given priority to the elites of the Black and Yellow Banners and the other three banners. A rate is not high.

Under the joint attack of Longzao Temple and Zhu Sheli, Zhenghongqi fell into a bitter fight.But Longzao Temple is also uncomfortable, he is facing the offensive of Jurchen's red and white flags on three sides.

If he couldn't cut off the front army of Zhenghong Banner and take advantage of the situation to cover Zhu Sheli's retreat to the formation, he might become the first army to be defeated.

At the critical moment, Naoshima Naoshige rode his horse to kill Zhenghongqi himself. Even if he couldn't cut Zhenghongqi in half, he had to isolate him from Zhu Sheri and cover Zhu Sheri's retreat.

In the end, after hundreds of people's lives were finally paid by the Longzhaosi family, all of Zhu Sheli was covered and returned to the formation, but the formation of the Jurchen army on the opposite side was greatly disturbed.

It turned out that Nurhachi had already ordered the whole army to attack, and the Zhengbai and Zhenghong flags continued to pursue the new right formation that merged on the opposite side.
