serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 35 The strategy of defeating Zhou, Jia Hu went north

On March [-]th, the second year of Jianwu, outside the pass, Rehe Palace.

In the 18th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Kang Lao San fled outside the customs. Later, in order to strengthen the management of the Mongolian tribes and maintain the stability of the Qing Dynasty regime, the Rehe Palace was built on the long and narrow valley along the west bank of the Wulie River. It went north to the hinterland of Liaodong and controlled Mongolia from outside The various ministries can also overlook the pass, and the geographical location is very good.

Beginning in the early morning, a large number of Mongolian and Han green battalion soldiers appeared outside the palace. Since then, there has been a steady stream of green battalion soldiers and Eight Banners armored soldiers arriving every moment, sometimes thousands, sometimes tens of thousands. The plain area in the north of the palace is densely packed. Tents were set up, and soon even the mountains in the northwest were set up with tents, full of chilling atmosphere.

As night falls, the sky is covered with countless jewel-like stars. In a palace, Aixinjueluo, the king of the Qing Dynasty.Yong Qi stared blankly into the distance, where was the former capital of the Qing Dynasty, the city of Beijing.

He once saw the bustling scene of Beijing City from the "Picture of Accumulated Victories in the Imperial Capital", especially the Forbidden City, which made him extremely fascinated and yearned for.

He was sure he wanted it, and was desperate to make it happen.

He knew very well that the Great Zhou dynasty had deep roots and would be difficult to defeat for a while.So he resumed Huang Taiji's strategy of destroying Ming Dynasty, bloodletting the Great Zhou Dynasty through continuous looting, using the mobility of cavalry to destroy the elite troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then dragging the Great Zhou Dynasty into the abyss step by step.

In addition, he will also stir up disputes within the Great Zhou Dynasty and let them destroy the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty by themselves.

As long as a strategy is successful, it is a matter of time before entering the customs.

Two months ago, he finally persuaded Gan Xiaosi to take advantage of the decimation of the North Korean rebel forces and mobilize elite soldiers to form an army to attack Zhou. Eighty thousand Mongolian and Han green battalion soldiers, thirty-eight thousand banner soldiers, and an army of 11 will march from Xifengkou Enter the customs, wipe out the elite infantry of the Zhou Dynasty in Zhili territory, plunder people and animals and strengthen the Qing Dynasty.

If nothing else happened, the [-] Battalion, the most elite cavalry unit of the Zhou Dynasty, had been transferred away from the capital. Without opponents, the [-] Banners Jiabing could sweep across the entire capital.

At this time, there was a loud cry, and Yongqi turned around to look. The northeast direction was illuminated red by torches. In the night, Qing soldiers held torches. Tens of thousands of Korean men, women and children were driven here. Feeling numb and desperate, their homes were destroyed by the Qing soldiers, their food and belongings were taken away, and they were driven here from North Korea by the Qing soldiers, not knowing their future.

Yong Qi smiled faintly. Originally, his father wanted to execute these untouchables directly, but he saved them because he wanted these people to help him capture Jizhou Town.

"Young Master!" The voice of the guard of Jinzhou came from outside the hall.

"what's up?"

"The Sauron soldiers have arrived."

"understood."

With her hands behind her back, Yong Qi looked at the blazing flames in the distance, with deep smile lines on the corners of her mouth.

The Sauron Battalion was formed by the Ewenki and Daur people. They were all elites who fought bravely. This time, [-] Sauron soldiers were deployed to open the way to the customs at the lowest cost.

On March 22, the second year of Jianwu.

In the early morning, the dawn breeze blew over the hills around Xifengkou Pass, and a strong smell of blood and gunpowder wafted through the nostrils. Corpses were strewn all over the pass inside and outside the pass, soaked in blood in all directions.
Guards of Jinzhou and several white-armored soldiers escorted Yongqi and drove his horse into Xifengkou City. There were corpses all over the streets and alleys. Except for corpses, there was no more Han people in the whole city. Yongqi saw this kind of situation in North Korea. There are too many, and he doesn't care about it. What he cares most now is whether E Bi can get out of it.

At this time, a Sauron soldier came galloping, ran to Yongqi, reined in the reins, and said loudly: "Young master, I have shot and killed all the Zhou troops who escaped from the city."

Yongqi: "Okay! Immediately cut off the connection between Jizhou, Shanhaiguan, and Beijing."

The Sauron soldier: "Hey!" He reined in his horse and galloped away.

Slightly raising her head, looking at the sky in the distance, Yong Qi made up her mind. As an important defense center in the surrounding area, Jizhou City has heavy troops stationed there. According to secret reports, there are less than [-] soldiers. Elite soldiers, that is to say, there are less than [-] defenders in Jizhou City at this time.

Everyone came to the arsenal, the open space of the square was full of weapons and armors of the Zhou army, and a group of about a hundred Sauron soldiers were changing their outfits.
Jiangsu, Baoying County.

The warm sun shone on their bodies, making them feel warm and comfortable. However, the hearts of the soldiers guarding the city felt like they had fallen into a cave of ice. Saw soldiers with weapons shaking.

The guard swallowed his saliva: "Quickly, inform the county magistrate!"

In the big tent, Jia Hu sat cross-legged in front of the table, looking at the marching map with his head down. Four days had passed since he received the imperial decree. With the cavalry battalion guarding the car battalion behind, they marched very slowly on the first day, only less than 100 miles away. After two days, they got better and walked more than [-] miles. Yesterday, they were able to move forward more than [-] miles. After resting for half a day, when the soldiers recovered their physical strength and morale, they accelerated their march and tried to enter Beijing around mid-April.

At this moment, Yang Dayong walked in, holding a tray in his hand, with a bowl of broth and two flatbreads in it, "General, let's eat."

Jia Hu closed the map, took the soup bowl, and picked up a large pancake. He ate and drank the broth at the same time. The rapid march was very exhausting for his physical strength, and he couldn't stand it if he didn't eat enough.

"Report to the general, Baoying magistrate is asking to see you!" The voice of a soldier came from outside the tent.

Jia Hu took a sip of the soup, "No see."

The soldier: "No!"

After Jia Hu finished eating the big cake, he drank the last sip of soup, stood up, and said to Yang Dayong, "Let's go to patrol the camp."

The atmosphere in Baoying County was very tense. The gates of the city were strictly controlled, and people who were blocked outside the city gathered there from a distance, looking at the barracks curiously.

It was quiet for half a day.

The sound of the horn echoed over the barracks, and the magistrate of Baoying rushed to the top of the city with sweat on his face. Under his restless eyes, the army began to move out of the camp
On March 26, the second year of Jianwu, the capital.

Before dawn, the Anding door opened with a click.

A team of horses galloped away under the suspicious eyes of the defenders.

With a "click", the huge city gate slowly closed again.

The sentry officer: "General, is that really a warrant issued by Prince Zhongshun?" After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Is this not in harmony with the system? How could the prince issue such a warrant?"

The guard knew that something was wrong, and shouted loudly: "Quick, catch this group of people, don't let them escape!"

There was another "click" sound, and the huge city gate slowly opened.

The officer personally led a group of cavalry to run in the direction where the cavalry disappeared.

Imperial City, Qianqing Palace.

The sky was about to light up, and it was hazy, with wisps of faint light in the side hall.

A lantern quickly floated towards the side hall.

Dai Quan was holding a lantern in front, and Zhang Shangwen and several guards walked quickly to protect Emperor Jianwu.

While walking like flying, Emperor Jianwu asked Zhang Shangwen: "What's going on?"

Zhang Shangwen: "Before a stick of incense, someone left the city from Andingmen with a forged warrant of Lord Zhongshun. The guards who reacted followed and chased after him. After chasing for five miles, there was no trace of the other party. The incident was reported to the infantry. Commanding the yamen, and then reporting to the cabinet, the minister immediately ordered people to go to the Courtyard, only to find that O Bi had disappeared."

Emperor Jianwu's face became serious: "Which direction do you think the Manchus will attack?"

Zhang Shangwen tugged at the corner of his eyes, then smiled wryly, and replied: "I am incompetent."

Emperor Jianwu was furious: "Immediately notify all the generals in Beijing to enter the palace. I want to know the possible next move of the Manchus."

Dai Quan replied loudly: "Yes!"
