Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 160 Jianlu Runs Away

However, Dorgon is obviously a cautious person. Hearing what they say is not enough. He is worried that there will be misinformation when spreading the word in the middle.Therefore, he politely invited Wang Dengku here, and asked him about the current situation of the Ming army on the spot.

Wang Dengku came directly from Shanxi and was unaware of the major events in the capital these days.Therefore, his answers were based on his past understanding of the court.To him, it actually makes no difference.After all, the emperor is still the same emperor, and the court is still the same court. Can there be sudden changes?
As a result, Dorgon had his final impression of the Qin army, that is, after the previous battle, it was a disastrous victory, and it was already bruised, and it was impossible to fight again in a short time.The next thing this Ming army has to do is to send people from the Ming court to verify the merits, bargain with the imperial envoys, and finally determine the final official statement of the victory.

With this conclusion, Dorgon was also relieved. After letting Wang Dengku go back to rest, he said to other Manchu leaders: "Now we have harvested nearly 40 livestock in the Ming Dynasty, nearly 4000 taels of gold, and almost 100 taels of silver. 55 taels. Battled for more than [-] miles, defeated the Ming army more than [-] formations, conquered Jinan Prefecture and other three prefectures, [-] counties, and two passes, killed Jiliao Governor Wu Aheng and more than [-] generals above the garrison, and made officials University scholar, our old rival Sun Chengzong was also killed by us. In addition, we even captured the German king Zhu Youshu, the county king Zhu Ciying, Fengguo general Zhu Cishang, and the eunuch Feng Xuxu.”

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and said with a hint of pride: "This entry, whether it is the results of the battle or the number of supplies obtained, is more than twice that of the last entry. Everyone, this time, everyone has contributed a lot , you can go out!"

Listening to what he said, all the Manchu and Qing leaders present smiled happily.Even Yue Tuo, who was worried, felt happy.Such a result was something I never expected before entering the customs.After returning this time, the emperor will definitely be very happy.

In fact, these are just the gains of handing over to the public. In private, when everyone is robbing, who will hand in everything?It can even be said that the belongings that are easy to carry, that is, those valuables such as gold, silver and jewelry, are hidden in private, definitely more than turned in.

Just when they were all happy, suddenly, Hauge said loudly: "If you want me to tell you, grab some more and go back, it will surprise those people who stayed in Liaodong, and my father will definitely be happier." How about it? How about doing it a few more times and grabbing a few more cities?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Only Dorgon could answer Hauge's question, so they all turned their heads to look at Dorgon.

"Being greedy is not necessarily a good thing. With our military strength, it is almost enough to escort these [-] people and livestock back to Liaodong." Dorgon obviously disagreed, and replied to Hauge, "Furthermore Having said that, the Ming army is more or less capable of fighting. The Qin army before and the Yongwei Battalion behind us are all capable of fighting. Although they are unable to pose a threat to us due to various reasons at this time . But if it continues, it’s hard to say.”

At this point, he saw that Hauge seemed to still want to speak, so he took the lead and continued: "Also, from the information intercepted by our detective horses, the Ming Dynasty asked Chen Hongxu, the magistrate of Jinzhou, to write down his experience in defending the city and spread it to other places to imitate. . We came all the way from Jinan City, and we should have been able to feel this when we passed the cities of the Ming Dynasty. The local cities of the Ming Dynasty have increased their defensive strength. If we can easily capture the cities of the Ming Dynasty as before, we can make a forced landing in the Ming Dynasty. It should be more difficult for the officials of the country to happen. Also, the emperor has made an appointment to be on the front line of attacking Ningjin at this time to coordinate our army. If the delay is too long, a lot more money and food will be lost there. "

The matter has been explained almost, so Dorgon didn't say any more, and ordered in a firm tone: "Pass down the king's decree, after a day's rest, we will set off eastward, bypassing the capital of the Ming Dynasty and leaving the customs to return to Liaodong!"

When Haoge heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Why do you bypass the capital? If you want me to tell you, we should detour so many people and supplies, and go around twice outside the capital city of the Ming Dynasty. Last time, Azig wrote a sign that all the troops are free, and he was very proud of it for a while."

"Ridiculous!" Dorgon shouted with a dark face when he heard it, "Could it be that you want to force the emperor of Ming to lose face and jump over the wall like a dog? In this way, even if the Qin army loses morale, it will be forced to die." It would be crazy to attack our army, as well as the Yongwei Battalion. Do you think we can take so many people and supplies back?"

He ordered to go east, in addition to bypassing the capital, he actually wanted to stay away from the Qin soldiers.It wasn't that he was afraid of Qin Bing, but that he was worried that Qin Bing would suddenly go crazy again, which would affect his harvest this time.

The reason why he only rested for a day was that he was worried about what would happen after the Yongwei Battalion caught up with Qin Bing.Just in case, it's better to be on the safe side.

Dorgon was indeed the one with the highest IQ in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in the original history, he took away more than 47 animals safely.However, on this plane, because of Emperor Chongzhen's crossing, under the butterfly effect, the governor killed one less person, and less than 7 people and animals were looted.

As soon as he gave the order to withdraw the troops, the Manchu Qing troops headed towards the Ming army, and then began to shrink a little. More horses were sent to the east to find out the terrain of the road, and drove the Ming army away at night, providing a battlefield for the army to advance. shield.

At the same time, the imprisoned civilians of Daming also got a little more food.This is not the mercy of the Manchus, but the fact that they are about to start marching and travel thousands of miles around Mongolia to return to Liaodong, so they have to eat more.It can't be like being imprisoned in the city, they can be so hungry that they have no strength at all, as long as they don't die, it doesn't matter.

So, one day later, nearly 40 Manchu troops, escorting nearly [-] livestock, and countless carts of supplies began to head east.In this mighty march, the leader has already gone very far, and the tail of the team has not yet left the city.

At the same time, because the Yongwei Battalion got in touch with the Qin Army at night, after the two sides exchanged news, they immediately speeded up, and when the Manchu and Qing troops started their journey, they rushed to Jinzhou and joined forces with the Qin Army. .

At the same time, except for some of the Ming army that had been sent out to harass Dorgon's troops before, they were unlucky enough to be encircled and suppressed by Dorgon's deployment of troops, and the others had also been driven back by military orders.

On the side of the Yongwei Battalion, they were exhausted after chasing the Manchu Qing army all the way back to the north, and their morale was a little low.After all, they are not the kind that can suppress the Manchu Qing army.Because the emperor's powerful army, in order to prove themselves and repay the emperor, followed the Manchu army.But at the same time, they were also worried that the Tartars would surround them instead. After all, there was still a gap between the number and combat power.

But as soon as they arrived at the city of Jinzhou, they heard about the changes in the capital, and also knew that when the emperor tried his best to relieve their worries, they came back to life one by one.While taking a break, they all thought that they could not be compared by Qin Jun. After all, they are a serious team of emperors!
Soon, Ye Ye did not accept urgent reports, and reported the latest news of the Manchu Tartars.

Ever since, Lu Xiangsheng was the leader, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were on the left and right, the military supervisors sat on both sides, and the generals stood in two rows, and an emergency military meeting began.

"Everyone, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is planning to coerce the people of Ming Dynasty to flee back to Liaodong." Lu Xiangsheng sat on the main seat and said in a serious voice, "The emperor has worked so hard for us, and now it's time for us to repay the emperor. No matter what , there was no chance before, and on the way back to Liaodong and out of the customs, we must seize the opportunity to rescue the looted Ming people and get back as much supplies as possible. So, do you understand?"

"Understood!" No matter who it is, they are all very serious at this time, no one dares to smile, even if they are high, they all respond together.

Next, it is to discuss the possible route that the prisoner may take.

Whether it is Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, or Sun Chuanting, they are all battle-hardened and experienced, and they never receive news of rewards at night. Combined with so many people and materials in the Manchu Qing army, etc., what path they probably took, basically If you can guess [-], the route is narrowed down to two roads.

After the Manchus went east, they went up along the Weihe River. In this way, Jianlu could concentrate most of his troops on the west side. After all, there was a Wei River across the east. More troops can guard the people of Ming Dynasty and prevent the Ming army from attacking.After going north to Sanjiaodian, there are two options.

One is to turn west and walk along the west bank of the huge lake in Sanjiaodian, so that there is no need to worry about being attacked by the Ming army, let alone the people of the Ming Dynasty fleeing across such a large Sanjiaodian lake.After all, the Triangle Lake is too big, and the degree of freezing in the center of the lake is unknown. It may be very dangerous for people to run up.However, for this road, the Manchu and Qing Tartars would have to cross three rivers, which would delay their journey quite a bit.

Another option is to turn eastward after arriving at Sanjiao Lake, and walk along the east bank of Sanjiao Lake. You can also use Sanjiao Lake to cover the west side of the Tazi team.On the east side is a canal running north-south, which can also be used as a proper cover.But it will eventually reach Tianjin, and it will also have to cross the river, but there is only one.

Lu Xiangsheng and others focused their attention on the possibility that the Manchu Qing might choose the second road, and Sun Chuanting directly suggested: "We can rush to Tianjin first, and attack halfway across the river, so that we can disperse the troops of the Manchu Qing and save the most Daming people!"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou didn't hesitate, and immediately added: "Just in case, we can make it more difficult for the Manchus to take the first route, and make sure that the Manchus only go to Tianjin."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded when he heard this. However, he often took the lead, charged into battle, and had many fights with the Manchus, so he immediately raised another difficulty and said: "The Manchus are all used to fighting, they must know Our army will not give up, so we must be on guard against us during the march. Just the cavalry of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, scattered around, can effectively prevent the possibility of our sneak attack. Don't forget, most of our elites are infantry The army is the main force. If it is only the cavalry, it will not be able to attack the Tartars with several times their strength!"

"In this way, our army still has a very big problem, that is, the Jianlu has already set off, we have to come later, go around the front of Jianlu, and hide in Tianjin City in advance, which is another very difficult point. "

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the army who was a little more optimistic just now became serious again.

As people who often fought in the army, they understood that Lu Shangshu raised a very serious problem, that is, the mobility of the Ming army was not enough.

Originally, if you were fighting at home, you would have the advantage of dispatching troops. You could quickly order the troops ahead to intercept them and wait for the main force to rush over.However, at this time, how many troops Daming can fight are still in Jinzhou.On the way back from Jianlu, there is no army that can fight at all. It would be good for those local troops to defend their own cities, let alone intercept them.

Originally, there was an army, and the one with the strength to intercept the Manchu army was the Guan Ning Army.However, it is said that the slave chieftain Huang Taiji personally led the troops to attack the Ning Jin line, so the Guan Ning army could not be mobilized.

In this way, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and without the strength in her hands, she can only stare blankly.

Could it be that he just watched the Man Qing looting so many Daming people and their supplies and returning to Liaodong, but he was helpless?In this way, wouldn't it be shameful to the emperor!

Thinking of this, everyone is in a very bad mood.

Hong Chengchou saw that the atmosphere in the tent of the Chinese army was getting heavier and heavier, so he comforted him and said, "Perhaps the Manchu Qing could not move fast with so many people and supplies, and our army may not be able to keep up."

Hearing this, although Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to hurt morale, he still said truthfully: "The Manchus did not treat our Ming people as human beings, and they also knew that if they acted slowly, it would cause unpredictable accidents to them. In order to avoid this , they must not be walking slowly."

Even so, he still passed down a military order, ordering Yeburen to investigate Jianlu's marching speed and report back as soon as possible.

After the cold in the tent of the Chinese army cooled down again, Chen Hongxu, the prefect of Jinzhou who was listening, suddenly said: "Or, the lower officials mobilized the gentry of Jinzhou to donate their horses, mules, etc. to the infantry? Go instead, or speed up a bit!"

If we talk about other state cities, local officials may not have the ability to mobilize.You must know that the possibility of returning the donated animal power is very small.And the animal power at this time is very valuable, at least equivalent to the motorcycles of later generations.

However, Chen Hongxu's prestige in Jinzhou is very high.He said this with certainty.Therefore, only he thought of this method and proposed it on the spot.

　Not today, and Chapter 1 will be around nine o'clock tomorrow.
