Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 167 The key figure, Emperor Chongzhen
Dorgon stared blankly at the North Bank, and when he saw a red line appearing in the distance, he knew that the North Bank was finished.

Therefore, when he saw the Qing army running across the street like rats crossing the street, he remained indifferent.Because he knew that this situation was bound to happen.On the other side, there is no chance.Even if Yuetuo and Hauge's units were transferred later, there was no chance to save the defeat.

Listening to the Ming army on the other side shouting "Wan Sheng", Dorgon's face looked very ugly.This was the first time he had seen this situation.To be honest, he really didn't want to hear it, and he hoped that he would never hear such shouts from the Ming army in his whole life.

But this time, I finally heard it!

In this battle, the Qing army on the north bank could escape, probably the cavalry army.As for those pawns, they couldn't outrun the four-legged Ming army at all.According to preliminary estimates, it is estimated that about 1 horses will be lost.This will be an unbearable loss for the Qing army, and it will definitely deal a great blow to the morale of its own side.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked around the south bank.Sure enough, as he expected, the morale of the Ming army on the north bank was high, so the morale of the Qing army on the south bank was low.Obviously, many people could not accept the fact that the Qing army was defeated.

Turning around, when Dorgon looked at the Ming army on the other side again, suddenly, his eyeballs bulged, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

On the other side, the cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty who came rolling in just now had all kinds of horses on their crotches, including all kinds of horses.

Although he was just a young man, he spent most of his time in the army, so with just one glance, he could find that many of the Ming army on the opposite bank could not be called war horses, and it was impossible to meet the requirements of war horses.What's more, he even discovered that among the cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty who arrived belatedly, there were people riding donkeys and mules.

Suddenly, he felt as if he wanted to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Anyone who saw the situation just now would think that the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty had come to reinforce them.In fact, it is true that the cavalry that charged at the forefront were the cavalry from the Qin Army and the Yongwei Battalion.The ones behind can only be regarded as mounted (musle and donkey) infantry.It can be seen that many infantry's riding skills are really not very good, and they can only barely keep on the horseback without falling off.

Such a [-] cavalry army is completely different from the imagined [-] cavalry army.If the Qing army on the north bank really found out that it was just such a Ming cavalry army, they would not have fled in embarrassment without resistance.

Now that they have fled, it is impossible to have the courage to fight again.Besides, how can the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty who have run away be the opponents of the Ming army with high morale?
At the beginning, Dorgon felt very remorseful in his heart. He felt that the battle on the north shore would not be such an embarrassing defeat. If he fought steadily, if he knew that the Ming cavalry who came to reinforce him were just this kind of stuff, he might be able to escape back Not necessarily a part.

But after a while, when Dorgon's eyes were staring at the animal power that was put together in all kinds of ways, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his face suddenly changed, becoming extremely ugly.It seemed even uglier than when he lost the battle just now.

Because he found that the Ming army's ability to achieve this step in this battle was beyond his expectations.Almost every step, Ming Jun's actions are different from his impression.

For example, the Yongwei Camp and the Qin Army should be behind the Qing army, but why did they suddenly appear here, and it seemed that the Qing army had long been expected to leave this way.Therefore, not only is there a camouflage in the city of Tianjin, but also the ambush is hidden so far away.What is even more frightening is the various animal forces under their crotch.

The reason why Dorgon's face was so ugly was that he realized something.The scattered Ming country or Ming army, no matter how elite their individual troops are, are not scary at all.Because of this, although the Ming Dynasty was big, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, but it could be regarded as nothing.

However, now Dorgon discovered that the Ming army was not only united and no longer scattered, but also the mobilization ability of the Ming country surprised him very much.Not to mention the donkeys and mules on the opposite bank, he can tell from the various horses that many of them should be from rich people, and there are even many rare breeds, as well as stallions and mares. .

For this war, the Ming Kingdom was able to piece together all these horses. Wouldn't it prove how powerful the Ming Kingdom's mobilization ability is!Regardless of the ability to mobilize, whether it is coerced or voluntary, these are not important, what matters is the result.

Thinking about the huge territory of the Ming Dynasty, such huge manpower and material resources, if it can be mobilized like this in the future, then the Qing Dynasty is just a cold Liaodong, how can it continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty?

Even if Dorgon didn't understand the affairs of the Ming court very well, he knew that this was definitely not something that Lu Xiangsheng could handle.Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look west, looking in that direction, and thought of a person in his heart.Only that person has the ability to recruit so many horses of all kinds, right?

Having reached this conclusion, Dorgon no longer had the heart to see the situation on the North Shore.His heart was particularly heavy, and at the same time he was a little puzzled.If that person in the Forbidden City is really capable, why didn't he feel it a few years ago?No matter what, he has been on the throne for more than ten years, and if he is really capable, it should have been revealed long ago!

Not to mention that Dorgon couldn't figure it out even if he tried to break his head, let's talk about the city of Tianjin. Sun Chuanting was already standing on the battlements, stroking his beard with a rare smile, and looking at everything outside the city.

There are cavalry pawns chasing and killing Tartars who are fleeing everywhere, and even in many places, groups of Ming people can be seen surrounding the lone Tartars so that the Ming army can come and catch them earlier.Or, the more valiant commoners of Ming Dynasty immediately started fighting, and how many people surrounded a Tartar to fight. It is estimated that when the surrounding crowd dispersed, there would be no humanoid objects on the ground.

Since the Tartars entered the customs, how much suffering has been caused to the people of Ming Dynasty, now with this opportunity for revenge, who will be relentless?
Thinking in his heart, Sun Chuanting moved his eyes again, and saw the handsome flag guarded by a cavalry army in the distance. It was Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, coming over.

So, he smiled and went down to the top of the city to meet him.

The battle here has ended, and the messenger arrived at the rear of the Manchu Qing army and rushed to the army.

"What?" Yue Tuo opened his eyes wide in surprise after hearing the military order, and confirmed loudly, "Qin Bing and Yongwei Battalion are north of Wei River? How is this possible!"

"Did you recognize the wrong flag?" Hauge also shouted loudly with his eyes wide open, "What happened? Isn't the main force of the Ming army at the back, and I have been moved to the back to guard against it."

When he shouted like this, Yue Tuo had already recovered after the initial shock, and immediately said to Hauge eagerly: "Uncle Wang urgently called, there must be nothing wrong. The war is important, we must Reinforcement immediately!"

After hearing this, Hauge couldn't help muttering loudly: "Could it be another trick of the Ming army, wanting to separate the infantry and the cavalry?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Tuo's face immediately became extremely ugly, and he looked at Hauge with a bit of unkind eyes.He ignored Hauge at all, and immediately sent an order to lead his men to the front army.

This time they served as the rear army to defend the Ming army, and there was no infantry at all.This Hauge's brain doesn't know what to think, but he even thought of separating the horse and the horse, what a ghost!
Seeing Yue Tuo leaving in a hurry, Hauge turned his head to look behind him, but in the end he was helpless, and immediately ordered to rush to the front army.No matter what, when the military order is issued, no one is allowed to violate it, otherwise the military order will not recognize people.On this point, at least the Manchu Qing Dynasty at this time was relatively resolute in its implementation.

Of course Ye Bushou learned about such a big movement, and immediately reported the situation to Lu Xiangsheng.

"Okay!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, "Jianlu left in such a hurry, it must be because the battle ahead is unfavorable. It seems that our army won the battle of Weihe!"

As soon as he heard that Yue Tuo and Hauge's troops left in a hurry, he immediately came to a conclusion and was very happy.

To be honest, even though careful arrangements had been made beforehand, he was still a little worried.The outcome of a war is not guaranteed to be won with careful arrangements in advance.Various factors may lead to the complete defeat of a war that was originally thought to be won.But now it is confirmed that the battle on Weihe River must have been won, and it is likely to be a big victory, which made the Jianlu army mobilize in such a hurry that they didn't even care about their own side. Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng was greatly relieved tone.

In this war, the so-called favorable time, place and people were actually taken by Ming Dynasty. It was useless even if Jianlu's combat power was stronger than that of the Ming army, and Jianlu's equipment was better than that of the Ming army.

The weather was extremely cold and the Weihe River was frozen, but the most severe cold had passed, and the ice surface of the Weihe River could not pass people casually, which limited the mobility of Jianlu's reinforcements.

Jianlu plundered the people of Ming Dynasty. For Daming, it can be said that he did all kinds of evil. Naturally, people's hearts will not be on Jianlu's side.Whether it was the people fleeing in all directions that slowed Jianlu's counterattack, or the Ming soldiers' resentment towards Jianlu, they were all unexpected by the coach and increased the odds of winning the battle.

In the Chinese military tent, everyone was overjoyed when they heard that Lu Xiangsheng spoke so confidently.Although they did not participate in the Battle of Weihe, at least they had a supporting role.Winning a battle is better than losing a battle, isn't it?

As a result, Wang Chengen and others began to flatter Lu Xiangsheng. Anyway, after such a big victory, the previous fall of Jinan Mansion became less important.Everyone carries the sedan chair, right?

However, when Lu Xiangsheng heard their flattery, his expression turned serious. He clasped his fists and cupped his hands in the direction of the capital. He said solemnly, "The first contribution to this battle should belong to the emperor. If it weren't for the emperor, we would be powerless to initiate this battle." During the war, we can only watch as Jianlu plunders my Ming’s population and supplies and leaves the customs!”

When everyone heard this, they immediately remembered that the emperor was both buying money and supporting animal power. If it wasn't for the money that inspired the soldiers, and if it wasn't for the animal power to transport the troops in time, as Lu Xiangsheng said, this battle would never have been fought.Suddenly, everyone suddenly realized.They are better at flattering the emperor.In the tent of the Chinese army, the words of reverence to Emperor Chongzhen were like the waves of the Yellow River flowing continuously.

Lu Xiangsheng fell into deep thought after speaking at the beginning, and after a while, after the voice in the tent became quieter, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly said with a serious face: "Come on, pass on my military order, withdraw the troops immediately, and enter the big city to defend!"

"My soldier, what's the meaning of this?" Gao Qiqian said in surprise, "Now our army's morale is high, and it's time for a decisive battle with the remnants of Jianlu, how can we retreat?"

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng heard it, he knew that they were dazzled by the victory. Based on the status of these eunuchs as military supervisors, he immediately explained: "Most of the elite of the Jianlu army are actually guarding us in the rear. I think that this official has all the elites of the Ming Dynasty. Now this part of the troops has not been lost, which means that the main force of Jianlu is still there. Once they go north to reinforce and useless, they will definitely go south to take revenge on us. The combat power of these troops in our hands is simply It is impossible to be Jianlu's opponent. It only takes one charge, and our army will be defeated!"

"No way?" Gao Qiqian was a little confused, "If that's the case, why didn't you beat me and leave later?"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't despise Gao Qiqian for having the reputation of being a soldier. He doesn't know this kind of thing clearly?He continued to explain patiently: "Jianlu lost the battle on the side of the Wei River. It must be an emergency. The slave chiefs were eager to restore the situation, so they urgently dispatched these cavalry troops to reinforce. However, the reinforcements led by Governor Hong will definitely If the Jianlu reinforcements arrived faster than these Jianlu reinforcements, our army must have won a big victory, and it would be useless for these cavalry to go. In this way, the slave chieftains will think of our phantom soldiers next, if they can be on our side immediately Once a battle is won, there will be an argument for the slave chieftain, and it will also boost the morale of the Jianlu."

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian couldn't help nodding his head again and again, and quickly reminded: "In this case, my soldiers should immediately order to withdraw!"

You have to hurry up, this side is full of infantry, and it was put together by various guards. If Jianlu cavalry catches up, everyone will be finished.

Since Lu Xiangsheng had already proposed it, he naturally knew it well, and began to arrange for the withdrawal of troops.However, he didn't go with him, but gathered all the cavalry in the army, mainly because he didn't accept them at night.In order to prevent Jianlu from visiting horses to find out the truth, he still has a lot of things that he will not collect overnight.

Later, he confessed to Wang Chengen and others: "You lead the infantry to withdraw first, and I lead the cavalry to deal with the Jianlu soldiers. The day when the Jianlu soldiers retreat is the day when we will report our victory to the emperor and celebrate our achievements." !"

Gao Qiqian and the others didn't think too much about it, anyway, they didn't need to take risks.On the contrary, Wang Cheng'en asked a little worriedly: "I just took these 1000 horses, what's the use? Why don't you go to Dacheng with the army?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head with a smile and said: "It's okay, the battle is not over, and I am the commander in chief, how can I withdraw? Just wait and go!"

In fact, he did not express his worries.Although the Ming army has won this battle from the current point of view, the main force of Jianlu is still there, and the final victory or defeat has not yet been determined. He is a little worried, fearing that something will happen to Jianlu, so he stayed .

The lack of troops is not a problem. Lu Xiangsheng has always advocated the route of elite soldiers.In the past, he even sent a memorial to Emperor Chongzhen requesting the formation of a special force to suppress the rogues, that is, to form a special elite cavalry army to attack the rogues in a hurricane raid.

Now he has cavalry troops in his hands, with strong mobility and no need to fight to the death without retreating, so although his troops are small, they have no burden at all.The only worry is that Jianlu suffered a big defeat and must have lost a lot. What will they do next?
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was far away in the capital, had news from the eavesdropping seeds on Wang Chengen and Wu Zhong. Compared with Lu Xiangsheng who had to speculate through the news, he had more information about the war.

Knowing that the Ming army won a big victory as it wished, and rescued countless people.Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being very happy about this.However, this news cannot be announced yet, so I can only have fun by myself.

That's why, when he was happy, he quickly calmed down.Then, he immediately thought of a very important question.This problem, relying on Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, I am afraid it will be difficult to solve it, and it must be solved by ourselves.
