Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 357 Chahar Department Attached Note
In the early morning, Jinzhou City, which had been noisy for most of the night, finally returned to calm, and the bitter morning wind exuded a chill.There was a bloody smell in the air, mixed with a burnt smell.

Looking outside the city, there are dead bodies everywhere, and you can't see the end at a glance.The remnant flag covered the corpse, and the corpse with a knife and gun covered the remnant flag.Three deep moats, plus the moat, made four, but they can no longer be seen, they are all filled with corpses, and blood is everywhere.

Not only outside the east gate and north gate, but now the entire city is full of corpses, of course the corpses of Manchu Tartars and traitors are the majority.

Seeing these scenes, one can imagine the fierce battle at that time.

Although a large number of Qing troops broke through from the east gate and the north gate, the Ming army, which had been trapped outside the city for several months, had already fortified and defended like an iron wall.

As soon as the trumpet is fired, there are muskets in the distance, bows and arrows in the distance, and hand-to-hand combat in close quarters. Several lines of defense are woven into a skynet, which is tight and tight.

Some of the menacing Qing army did not even rush through the first ditch and fell asleep underground, some died in the second ditch, and some broke through three ditches in a row, but were killed by the elite Ming army. Killed on the bank of the ditch.

The wave after wave of the Qing army couldn't rush through, and they didn't want to be cannon fodder, so they had to change direction, and there were people who broke through in any direction, but it turned out to be the same in every direction. The Ming army defended like an iron bucket, watertight.

As a result, no matter which direction these Qing troops broke out from, their fate was the same.

In the end, Prince Azig of England and Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria, led the charge in person, and they only had a fierce battle with Hao Yaoqi and He Renlong's team. After Gan Bao and Jiang Xingyuan's 1 reinforcements arrived, Azig There will be no more chances with Obai.

A fight that lasted until dawn declared their demise. Some Qing troops even turned back and ran into the city. There are four chasms. As for the suspension bridge on the moat, for these thousands of troops, it is a single-plank bridge.

Many Qing soldiers did not die on the battlefield of the charge, but died of exhaustion in the retreating trenches, some were crushed and trampled to death, and some were drowned in the moat that fell from their footing.

Some were lucky enough to run back to the city along the narrow suspension bridge, but were quickly beheaded and killed in the city by the Ming army who launched a fierce attack on Jinzhou City.

In this way, they rushed until dawn, and all the trenches outside the city were filled with corpses, and the corpses were scattered everywhere outside the city.

This scene frightened the wild beasts and goshawks who had nowhere to look for food. They watched helplessly from a distance or from a high place, uttered a few shrill calls, and wandered away.

However, there are not many corpses in the city, and they are nothing compared to those outside the city.

After the Ming army rested for a while, they began to clean up the corpses and deal with post-war matters.

Hong Chengchou, who was tied up with five flowers, was escorted out of the commander's mansion and became the only prisoner of the Ming army.

Lin Yi gave an order to send someone to look after him, not to let him run away, and don't torture him first, at least to save his life.

The soldiers under his command agreed and put Hong Chengchou into prison.

Many soldiers under his command were puzzled why Lin Yi left this big traitor alone. The soldiers who followed Lin Yi in the battle knew that they were tolerant of the rogues of Ming Dynasty and allowed them to surrender. The unprecedented policy gave preferential treatment to prisoners. The Manchu Tartars were completely different from the traitors. They were not allowed to surrender, and they were all killed.

And what is going on today?Many people have doubts, but dare not speak.

Xiaoying doesn't care about this.

"Brother Lin, why are you keeping this big traitor? Just cut him alive."

Lin Yi smiled slyly, "The ancients said that people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death?"

"What do you mean?" Xiaoying didn't understand, and asked with her big eyes blinking.

"You don't read enough books." Lin Yi said, patting her helmet, "If a person is not afraid of death, why should he use death to scare him? For this kind of ghost who is afraid of death, let him He died, because keeping him is useful. Now Hong Chengchou is such a person, keeping him might be useful in the future."

After Ji Dong finished speaking, he turned around and went to do other things.

Xiaoying was still a little unsatisfied, and said to herself: "Brother Lin, what you mean is that you want him to surrender and use it for me?"

Zhe Zhe took over the words, "Sister, the one I use is right, but Brother Lin will never let him surrender."

Xiaoying nodded, "Yes, because he is an unforgivable traitor..."

The Shuai Mansion in Jinzhou City was quickly vacated. This is the place where Hong Chengchou lived. Strictly speaking, he has lived there twice. After cleaning, this place became Lin Yi's office.

The 10 Ming troops outside the city all moved to the city.

After counting the number of people, 2 Qing troops in the city were wiped out in one night's fierce battle, including thousands of traitor teams, and Hong Chengchou, the commander-in-chief of the Ningjin Defense Line of the Qing army, was captured.

In this fierce battle, the Ming army also suffered 4000 casualties. Casualties are inevitable in wars. 3000 enemies were killed and 800 were self-damaged.

Of course, we can't just remember the merits of the dead, those soldiers who are alive are more worthy of admiration.Wang Jian ordered people to take credit books and register them one by one.

Hao Yaoqi beheaded Prince Azig of Ying, He Renlong, Gan Bao, and Jiang Xingyuan jointly killed Obai, the number one warrior in Manchuria, and so on.

After the post-war affairs were dealt with, that is, on the fifth day after taking Jinzhou City, Lin Yi sent an order for the whole army to congratulate the big feast.

Then posted a notice to attract Jinzhou residents who were displaced by the war in the nearby mountains and forests, and let them return to the city to live again.

Send some soldiers to renovate their houses, clean the yards, and distribute food and clothes. Those homeless and lonely will open porridge factories and take them collectively. Even if they cannot live a well-off life, at least they will have food to eat. There are clothes to wear.

The common people are very contented with this, running around telling each other, returning to the city in an endless stream, and then gratefully worshiping the sky and the earth, and worshiping Lin Yi's handsome mansion, it is better to be in the Ming Dynasty!

Someone had already sent the victory report to the pass. First, there was a sensation in Beijing, followed by a sensation in Nanjing, and then everyone in Ming Dynasty knew about it. Master Lin won another battle outside the pass, and took back Ningyuan, Jinzhou and Yizhou in one fell swoop. An important military town, tens of thousands of Manchu Tartars and traitors were completely annihilated. Lord Jian Guo is really a god!
Whether they are officials or soldiers, or ordinary people from all walks of life, anyone who has a little patriotism is very excited. They beat gongs, drums and firecrackers to congratulate the victory in different ways.

After the surrender of Ezhe Xiancheng, the city of Yizhou, the brothers Ezhe and Bahrain reconciled. Tumed's right-wing generals are stationed in Yizhou on standby.

Erzhe and Balin came to Jinzhou to meet Lin Yi with more than 1 Mongolian cavalry soldiers. These [-] Mongolian soldiers were all soldiers from Chahar.

After meeting Ji Dong, the two brothers saluted Ji Dong, especially kowtowed to the ground and thanked Ji Dong for his kindness.

Because he knew that Lin Yi never tolerated Tartars and traitors being captured, this time it was unprecedented for him, and he was allowed to sacrifice the city and surrender.

Otherwise, his fate will definitely be the same as that of the Qing army in Jinzhou.

Ji Dong asked him to get up, and E Zhe said that he had given up the position of Khan to his brother Bahrain, and he was no longer worthy of being Lin Dan Khan's heir.

Lin Yi expressed his approval and congratulated their brothers on their reconciliation, and congratulated Bahrain on inheriting the throne of Khan of the Chahar tribe.

Then the two brothers signed an agreement with Lin Yi on behalf of the Chahar Department, and they have been friendly with Daming for generations and will never lose each other.

The Chahar tribe is a large tribe in Mongolia. Lin Dan Khan is a descendant of Genghis Khan. When he was at his strongest, he controlled the entire Monan Mongolia, while Mobei Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia shrank. Once upon a time, Lin Dan Khan had the potential to unify Mongolia. .

Although the current Chahar tribe is not what it used to be, it is still a large and influential tribe among the tribes of Mongolia, with more than [-] tribes.

The Ming Dynasty had such an ally, and the loss of such an ally by the Qing Dynasty was of great significance to the Ming Dynasty.

The two parties exchanged the agreement with the upper seal, and concluded an agreement, one of which is that Chahar pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year. Once there is a problem, the Ming Dynasty will never sit idly by.

Chahar has regained his freedom and escaped from the slavery and rule of the Qing Dynasty. More importantly, with the umbrella of the Ming Dynasty, they are not afraid of anyone now. This result is hard-won.

Brothers Ezhe and Bahrain hugged their heads and cried, but Ezhe cried more and more sadly as Ezhe cried, and Bahrain and others couldn't persuade them.

Xiaoying next to him took a look, "E Zhe, do you feel that you have lost money and regretted it?"

Upon hearing this, E Zhe quickly wiped away his tears, "Where did you come from, E Zhe is not sad for himself."

"You call me Empress?" Xiaoying was flattered and turned to look at Lin Yi, "Brother Lin has not ascended the throne to rule the world, where is the empress? ... Oh, don't care what it is called, then who do you think you are crying for?"

"Ezhe... reminded of my own mothers, how happy they would be here...but they...living in the tiger and wolf den in Shengjing, I'm afraid they are already dead by now, their sons and ministers are not filial... ..."

E Zhe was crying, knelt down and kowtowed to the north, which also infected Bahrain, and knelt down while crying.

Lin Yi frowned when he saw it. Persuasion was useless. Anyone would be sad when this kind of thing happened. Persuasion could not persuade the flesh. After all, it was the mother who gave birth to him. , these two sons are still filial sons, how can we save them?is there time?
As long as they don't lose their heads, they have to find a way to save people. The Chahar tribe is now a subordinate and friendly state of Ming Dynasty, and I and Bahrain are sworn brothers. No matter how you look at it , we must do our best to rescue.

Ji Dong thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, yes!

"You don't have to be sad. I have a plan. If the mothers are alive, they will naturally be able to escape."

Lin Yi's words were astonishing, and Bahrain and Ezhe really stopped crying, as if they saw a savior.At this time, if his empresses are dead, the gods have nothing to do.If he is alive, he can be rescued by a clever plan. Only Lin Yi dares to say this.

But life or death, who can say for sure?And if you have a life now, can you have a life tomorrow, can you have a life the day after tomorrow, this place is hundreds of miles away from Shengjing!
The Manchu Tartars wanted the lives of several of their weak women, and that was a matter of an instant.No matter how clever Ji Dong's ingenious plan is, if it is too late to use it, it will be a cake after all.

Therefore, after listening to Ji Dong's words, Balin and Ezhe were still in a state of anxiety and couldn't be happy.

At this time, Lin Yi called Song Xiance over and introduced them: "This is Song Xiance, a certain think tank. 800 years, 500 years later, let Mr. Song come to divination for the two."

Bahrain and Ezhe were overjoyed, is this black, short, and unattractive Mr. Song really so powerful?Lin Jianguo said that there must be, otherwise can he be used as a think tank?No wonder Ji Dong was invincible in every attack. It turned out that there was such a master of calculations hidden by his side.

Brothers Balin and Ezhe bowed to Song Xianzhi.

Song Xiance hurriedly stopped them, and said: "Second thing, don't be too polite. Mr. Jian Guo just exaggerated. Song has little talent and knowledge of divination. I would like to divination for several respected wives."

"Then there is Mr. Law."

After Song Xiance cleaned his hands, he did a divination for Bahrain and Ezhe, pinched his fingers after reading the divination, and then muttered something, his eyes sometimes opened slightly, sometimes slightly closed, and his round and dark face stretched and stretched. Frowning.

Everyone present was staring at Song Xiance's unique and funny expression, no one dared to be happy.

Especially Er Zhe, Bahrain's heart was in his throat, as if Song Xiance held the power of life and death at this time, and the lives of their mothers depended on Song Xiance's thought.

It took Song Xiance a long time to fully open his eyes and end the state of divination.

"Congratulations to Mr. Jian Guo and the two of you. Your wives are destined to die. Please, Mr. Jian Guo, plan a strategy and win a thousand miles away."

Ji Dong, Bahrain, and Ezhe were happy.There is such a thing as divination if you believe it, but if you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist.Then Ji Dong began to plan and save people.

It was only a few days before the Ming army broke into Jinzhou, and the Qing army in Jinzhou City was wiped out. The details of the battle in Jinzhou City must not be known to Shengjing.

Therefore, Lin Yi immediately issued an order to strictly seal the specific news of the Battle of Jinzhou.

Er Zhe and Balin seemed to have seen through Ji Dong's intentions, and worriedly said: "My lord, I'm afraid it's too late. The news of our surrender and the defeat of Boluo's reinforcements may have already been brought to Shengjing."

Lin Yi smiled and said: "You guys misunderstood, so what if Dorgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang know about it? He just needs to not know that Prince Azig and the first man of Manchuria, Oboi, have lost their heads, and Hong Chengchou In our hands, the prison country will use them to make a fuss."

Song Xiance, who was beside him, saw through Lin Yi's intentions, and had to praise Lin Yi for being quick-witted and clever.

Balin and Erzhe seemed to understand, and immediately turned their worries into joy, and prayed to the heavens full of anticipation. May God bless Master Lin's plan to go well, and pray for their Erniangs.

Then Lin Yi ordered people to spread the following two pieces of news: one is that Ezhe of Yizhou City surrendered the city, Ezhe and the Balin brothers reconciled, and Ezhe let the sweating king be succeeded by his brother Bahrain, and the Chahar tribe broke away Overwhelmed the Qing Dynasty and formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty.The new Khan Bahrain and Lin Yi, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, have signed an agreement.

The second is the Battle of Jinzhou, where the entire Qing army was wiped out, and Azig, Obai, Hong Chengchou and others became Lin Yi's captives.The reason why Ji Dong wanted to keep them was that he planned to negotiate terms with Sheng Jing in exchange for Nang Nang, Su Tai and other hostages.

Both Nang Nang and Su Tai are the mothers of E Zhe and Bahrain, that is, they are both the wives of Lin Dan Khan, and now these few are divided up by Huang Taiji, Jierhalang, Dorgon and others.In name, it was their concubine Fujin, but in fact besides sleeping with them, she was their hostage to control the descendants of Lin Dan Khan.

The living habits of the Manchurian Tartars are completely different from those of the Han people. When the father dies, the son can not only inherit their property, but also inherit his father’s wives and concubines.Brother is gone, brother can marry sister-in-law.In the eyes of the Han people, these are simply corrupting human relations.

In addition, as the princes and grandchildren of Manchuria, such as Huang Taiji, Hauge, Dorgon and Azige, it is no news that they killed their wives, concubines and children for their own selfish desires.

In this case, their concubine Fujin is both a vassal and a victim of their desire for power.It's hard to imagine any deep affection between such a man and a woman. One day, the woman who sleeps with them will be the target of their massacre tomorrow.

Therefore, regarding Ji Dong's two promotions, Balin and E Zhe were puzzled and said, "My lord, can this be done?"

In their view, Ji Dong should keep it a secret, and never make a big splash, deliberately delivering messages for the Manchurian Tartars in Shengjing.How could the Tatars know their purpose in advance for this kind of thing?
Lin Yi laughed nonchalantly, "Empress Xiaozhuang and Dorgon must know these two points as soon as possible, otherwise this record will never be successful."

"Since that's the case, my lord, everything depends on my lord." Ezhe and Balin certainly didn't dare to argue.

Then Lin Yi dispatched troops and generals, and the next step is to send troops out of Jinzhou. The goal is of course Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, which is Shenyang in later generations.

If the soldiers and horses are not moving, the grain and grass will go first.

Lin Yi transferred more than 1 Mongolian soldiers guarding Yizhou back, and asked Yuan Shu, the general soldier of Henan, to move to Yizhou with his more than 1 Henan soldiers to prepare food, grass, ammunition and equipment for Lin Yi's 10 army. .

Then more than 3 cavalry from the Mongolian tribes such as the Wengniute, Tumed Right, and Chahar tribes that had formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty were organized into the Mongolian battalion, which was divided into the Mongolian First Battalion, the Mongolian Second Battalion, and the Mongolian Battalion. The third battalion, all the way to the fifth battalion in Mongolia.

To distinguish the standard battalion, musket battalion, invincible battalion, new training camp, women's battalion, and guard battalion under Lin Yi's command.

Not counting the Henan soldiers who supplied food and grass, including the fifth Mongolian battalion, Lin Yi had assembled a total of 13 soldiers and horses, a total of 20 battalions of different sizes. If the Henan soldiers were counted, there would be nearly 15 troops, which is said to be 20 , The troops sent out of Jinzhou and went straight to Huanglong. The goal is of course to conquer the Qing Dynasty, or it is called the destruction of the Qing Dynasty.

These were completed within one month after Ji Dong took Jinzhou. In the era of cold weapons at that time, this was simply a lightning move.

Especially in people's eyes at that time, the Ming Dynasty's third-front war in the west mountain, the Southwest's war against Zhang Xianzhong's rogues, and the south's southward war against Zheng Zhilong's pirates, these two wars were not small-scale wars, and they required a considerable amount of Ming's national power.

How much national power would it take to continue launching such a large-scale war outside the customs now?Throughout the ages, wars have always been about money.

When the news came out, the ruling and opposition parties in the Qing Dynasty were once again shaken.
