Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

The method of defending the city is not as simple as the film and television works of later generations. From trenches to moats, Wengcheng, horse faces, and horse barriers, the entire city defense project is a three-dimensional system engineering. The layout of the city defense is also as far as possible. The difference is that it is impossible for a good general to put all his soldiers and horses in the city, and hand over the defense system outside the city, and he doesn't even have the means to counterattack.

The immediate defense method is that everyone shrinks up and acts like a tortoise, so that the Qing soldiers can only leave a few elite cavalry to guard the city gate, and then just do whatever they want. What kind of role?

The strategic location of the ancients was not to say that building a city on the avenue as a nail is enough. It must be a three-dimensional defense system that can be retreated, defended and attacked. Otherwise, why must attack the city? In a radius of ten miles, no one will die if you go around it!

A military fortress without aggressiveness is useless, as can be seen from Ning Yuan.

Seen from the city, the Qing soldiers stationed outside the city are very scattered. It seems that there are thousands of small carts pushing looted goods in several directions, and they are constantly moving to the Qing army camp behind. , After the Daying camp, the coated ahas composed of these Han people pushed the small carts, and sent them to the rear continuously, passing through the Daling River area, and straight into the Liaozhong Plain. [

In recent years, the bitter cold of the Little Ice Age will not give up the thriving Qing Dynasty. Central and southern Liaoning are more bitter than western Liaoning. Han people die of freezing and starving every year. How easy it must be. Although the siege of Ningyuan this time is on a strategic level, some looting will be of great help to the Qing Dynasty at the end of the year.

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

Liu Liu is from Liaoxi, and all this is very familiar to him. After spitting viciously, Liu Liu said: "At most half a month, the Eight Banners soldiers will fade away, and the guard will be lifted, so we can go on the road."

"Ten days is about the same."

"After all, it's deep winter, and it's snowing as soon as it snows. I think it's almost the same. Most of the food and grass are now in the city, or they are far away, hiding in the military fort. This time the banner soldiers mobilized There are not many, it seems that there is no intention to go deeper.”

In the previous wars, because the main force of Guanning soldiers was either hiding in Shanhaiguan or in Ningyuan City, the Qing soldiers had no intention of attacking the fortifications, so they simply besieged with a small number of soldiers, and then swaggered to snatch Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan. But since the Qing soldiers found a way to enter the customs, they were not very interested in the western Liaoning area. There were many military forts, and there was little room for detours. Moreover, the Guanning army was also robbed, so there was not much to grab.

Entering customs is different. From the vicinity of the capital to Shandong all the way, how can the inland areas be comparable to border areas like western Liaoning?The large population, the wealth, and the affluence of the place, let alone the Manchurians and Mongols were amazed by it, even the former Ming soldiers from Liaodong who followed the conquest were also amazed.

Before officially taking over China, the Qing army entered and plundered five times in a row, ranging from banner owners to ordinary Eight Banners generals.

While speaking, there seemed to be a loud noise near the top of the city. The sound was so loud that it could still be heard clearly from a distance. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all looked towards the gate of the city.

It is where the governor and Ning Qiandao and other high-profile civil servants are located. At first glance, they are all scarlet robes and jade belts, shining like clouds. On both sides of the civil servants, there are a large number of high-ranking officials wearing purple armor or Xuantieshanwen and cloaks of various colors. The military officers, each holding their swords, surrounded the few people in the middle, trying to persuade them loudly.

There are a few people in the middle, one is wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, a purple small flower cloak on his body, and a shiny Mingjia mountain inscription on his body, holding a sword in his hand, surrounded by generals and guards on both sides, obviously a general or lieutenant level It's just that he was surrounded by a large number of civil and military officials for some reason, and seemed to be the leader of the quarrel.

"This is Commander Jin of Ningyuan."

Ding Hongliang and others couldn't help inquiring, and a soldier wearing a padded jacket with double-breasted foam nails was also fascinated, and replied casually: "A few days ago, Commander Jin made a fuss about going out of the city to fight the Tartars, and he started making trouble again today."

"Why, is he going out of town?"

An old Jianghu like Xu Qi was taken aback when he heard these words, and felt a little unbelievable.

Now everyone is huddling on a strong city like Ningyuan, and there are dozens of red barbarian cannons on the top of the city. Such a defense means that the Eight Banners soldiers in front of us, even if they are ten times more, they will be in vain.

If Kaesong attacked, the outcome would be unpredictable. If the Tatar soldiers took advantage of the chaos and attacked the city, it would be over.

His face changed color all of a sudden, although the people in the food team were all characters who stepped on both sides, but when the rebels entered the city, they would kill anyone they saw. At that time, they died wronged, but who would they turn to?

"The Commander-in-Chief said that the Tatar soldiers were only a few thousand soldiers, and the rest were miscellaneous soldiers. The Mongol soldiers and Han soldiers had never been fought. Now there are thousands of elite cavalry in the city. It is too unseemly to sit in a besieged city and dare not fight. So I just wanted to go out of the city and fight." [

The Ma Jun from the Shanhaiguan Iron Cavalry Battalion spat heavily towards the tower, and cursed: "He wants to make meritorious service, so he can just rest on his own and drag us to kill us, don't even think about it!"

Ding Hongliang's hair almost stood on end when he heard it, and he couldn't help but said: "There really don't seem to be many Tartars outside. If you go to battle, you will get hundreds of leaders, wouldn't it be fun?"

"Happy fart!" This time there were even more Guan Ning soldiers who scolded, and they all shouted loudly: "I'm defending the city, and the military salary is not a lot for us. If you die in battle, you will only get a few liang of compensation. , what will the family eat and drink in the future?"

"Winning the first rank, the left and right are just a trick of the generals. The rewards of our soldiers have been deducted layer by layer. How many taels of silver are left?"

"It's not worth it, you can't do it!"

"You little brother is like a wanderer. You earn a bowl of rice with a knife in your hand, but you come to earn us and the tartars desperately. You are so treacherous!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Sun Qi and the others hurried forward to explain, saying that Ding Hongliang was a novice who had just arrived in Liaoyang, and he was not very familiar with the world, so he always put these Guan Ning soldiers on the line and did not pursue further.

When Sun Qi came down, he complained about Ding Hongliang, and said straightly: "Nine side soldiers and horses, Guan Ning's soldiers don't like to fight the most. If you tell them these things, it's just for nothing!"

"These guys have bad tempers and dark hearts. Black people do a lot of work on the battlefield, and they don't take human lives seriously."

"Well, when these soldiers started arguing about their salaries, the governor could force him to cry and hang himself. What are you talking about with them!"

Ding Hongliang was silent for a moment, and the expression in his eyes became much darker.

Among the nine frontiers, the Qin army is the most tenacious. Frontier troops in Guyuan, Yulin and other places do not pay for half a year. Pay, the largest rebellion of the frontier army in Shaanxi occurred in the second year of Chongzhen. When King Qianliqin arrived in the capital, he didn't even have food. After he was about to starve to death, a large number of frontier soldiers rushed away. The main force, apart from this, there is nothing else.

But in Xuanfu, Shanxi, and Datong, there are very few domineering and illegal activities.

Only Guan Ningbing, that is, Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan Jinzhou, the generals sit on hundreds of thousands of acres of land and receive millions of military pay every year. The benefits are so great that people dare not even touch them. He is also very arrogant. During the period from Tianqi to Chongzhen, Liao soldiers made troubles about their salaries from time to time. As long as they did not pay their salaries for more than three months, troubles would definitely happen. They even surrounded the governor and forced him to cry and then committed suicide. This is also Guan Ning What the soldiers did.

On the battlefield, Guan Ning's soldiers have always worked hard. In the battle of Guangning, Zu Dashou led his troops to flee first and sold all his allies. After winning the battle, they came out to claim credit again, and made a fuss in front of Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to smooth things over.

Under the gate of Guangqu, Guan Ning's soldiers were afraid of the Qing soldiers and dared not fight, and were thrown bricks by the people at the head of the capital.

At this time, although Jin Guofeng is the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, he is not from the Guan Ning Jiangmen Group. These soldiers and horses in Ningyuan do not buy his account at all. He returned in vain, but it was because most of his subordinates were Xuan Dabing, who dared to die and fight, and obeyed military orders, but now that Jin Guofenggui is the commander-in-chief, he can't command his subordinates at all.

As a member of the Fushan army, even in the military intelligence system, military training and military concepts are deeply rooted in Ding Hongliang's heart. At this moment, he only has a sense of absurdity in the ghost land in his heart. , It seems that they are all characters in the stories of ghosts and ghosts, it is definitely not true, and I can't believe it is true!

"If you don't go, I will go!"

The city tower was not far away. During the dispute, it seemed that Jin Guofeng broke out. After a loud roar, surrounded by a few generals and a group of soldiers and servants, less than a hundred people went down the city tower, and then went to the city gate. He took the weapons from the saddle bags, lined up, got on his horses, and actually asked someone to open the city gate and rushed out of the city.

"There are also two sons... one is guarded, and the other is Mr. Qian, good guy, really go."

The Guan Ning soldiers who started to sarcastically also widened their eyes, with an expression of disbelief.In their cognition, probably they have never seen such a handsome general. [

Jin Guofeng came from a family of military officers in the avant-garde of the Xuan Mansion. From the tower, he was very skilled in horseback riding. Xuan Mansion and Datong were directly facing the northern captives, that is, the border towns of various tribes in Mongolia. He has always retained the bloody courage and strong martial arts of his ancestors. Under his leadership, nearly a hundred family members mounted their horses and followed each other with the sound of whistles. He is obviously also a hero who is good at shooting.

The two young generals, one on the left and the other on the right, closely followed Jin Guofeng's side. They were obviously the two sons of General Jin.

"The tartar moved."

Before everyone could admire them, the Qing soldiers on the opposite side had obviously discovered the Ming army with less than a hundred riders out of the city to invite battle. Amidst the sound of horns, the Eight Banners cavalry began to mobilize. Thousands of horseshoes trampled on the ground, and the earth Trembling, the people on the top of the city were jumping and shaking non-stop.
