Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 842

The Mughal infantry formation was divided into three formations: left, center and right.The central military formation, which was under the greatest pressure, collapsed first.

Facing the attack of the Ming army, the soldiers of the Mughal infantry ran to the next army formation on both sides, while those in the rear lined up simply fled to the endless plain behind.As for those who faced it head-on, they dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Seeing this situation, the Ming cavalry immediately passed over the kneeling enemies and pursued the fleeing infantry. At the same time, they shouted in the only Mughal dialect they had learned: "Abandon your weapons and kneel down, and those who surrender will avoid death." !”

Although they were persuading them to surrender, their actions were unambiguous. As long as they did not lose their weapons, those who were still running away could easily harvest their lives while waving their sabers.

Without a commander-in-chief, once the defeat is formed, even if Shah Jahan comes, there will be no way to save it.

Emperor Chongzhen had only 5000 troops around him, and the remaining 5000 cavalry, including those Mughal recruits, all scattered out, driving the enemy like sheep.

The battle that took place on this plain once again influenced the situation of the Mughal Empire.

The last time, it was the famous battle of the last Mughal Emperor, their famous Emperor Akbar, to save the Mughal Empire.

The location of that battle was closer to Delhi, between the Satriri River and the Jumuna River.Originally, the Mughal Empire army was unable to defeat the enemy. However, when the Mughal Empire army was about to be defeated, several of the most important generals and monarchs of the enemy were accidentally injured, which gave them a chance to turn defeat into victory.

In this confrontation with the Ming army, it was the Mughal Empire's commander who underestimated the enemy and was greedy for merit, which eventually led to his being captured by the Ming army, which led to the final defeat.

In the evening, the battle was over, and all the Mughal soldiers who surrendered were tied up and guarded. More soldiers of the Ming army were cleaning the battlefield and counting the battle situation.

It wasn't until this time that the "Daming Infantry" arrived.Many soldiers of the Mughal Empire saw that what appeared in the dust was not the Ming army in red uniforms, but ragged civilians. At a glance, they knew that they were the untouchables in the northwest of the Mughals. Suddenly, everyone was stupid Gone.

Another important reason for the collapse of the nearly 3 Mughal Empire infantry was that they believed that in addition to the [-] Ming cavalry in front of them, there were still a large number of infantry coming.

Only now did they know that the Ming army only had cavalry in front of them, and many of these cavalry were civilians.Immediately, many unwilling people, especially those generals, felt like vomiting blood.

At night, the Ming army did not feed the prisoners.The Mughal people who arrived were ordered to camp around the prisoners and rest.Throughout the perimeter, there were also Ming cavalry patrolling.

Today, the real Ming army only has [-] people, but there are as many as [-] prisoners.This question was placed in front of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone who leads troops knows that too much imbalance in quantity will cause many problems.

In this regard, Wu Sangui suggested to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there are too many hundreds of thousands of people. Not only is it a burden, but once our army fights the enemy again, if these people make trouble or rebel, it will be fatal to our army." Therefore, the general thought that it would be better to..."

Having said this, he gestured with his hand, making a "kill" gesture.

He is trying to imitate Bai Qi pitting Zhao Guo's surrender, let alone, after Zhao Guo lost 40 young and strong, the national strength will be completely sluggish.

For Wu Sangui and the others, this is an enemy country and a foreign land. There is no psychological burden if they choose to do this.Even Kong Youde nodded in agreement.

However, Emperor Chongzhen had his own plan. When he heard this, he just shook his head and said: "The next battle is to attack Delhi with the Dalantai tribe sent by Gushi Khan. The cavalry alone is not enough. The way of fighting is also There must be changes, and we must start to seize the Mughal city. Therefore, I still need to use these infantry. As for the issue of loyalty, don’t worry too much about it.”

As for what he was going to do, he didn't say.

Wu Sangui and the others were a little curious when they heard this, but they didn't ask any further questions, they just followed the order.

At this night, no matter how many prisoners there were, with different thoughts, the Ming army just tied them up, didn't give them food, and didn't say how to deal with them. After all, they were a little flustered or something.It's normal for people to make trouble under the night sky.

However, of course, the Ming army will not let down its vigilance, and immediately suppress any disturbances.With the continuous sitting method, if someone makes trouble on the same rope, they will all die without mercy.Just like that, we waited until dawn the next day.

Emperor Chongzhen slept until dawn, and after eating breakfast, he ordered the entire army to assemble, and the order he gave was to let Kong Youde lead the people and select all officers of all ranks from the captives.

Seeing this, these Mughal officers finally had a little more confidence.

They already know at this time that the Ming army only has so many people. If they want to control so many infantry troops, they must rely on them, persuade them with good words, give them the promise of glory and wealth, bribe them to win over them, and make them work for the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the Ming army could drive these [-] infantry troops to serve them.

Many of them feel that it doesn't matter. They will work for whoever gives them more glory and wealth, that's all!

Thinking of this, many officers became a little embarrassed.For the soldiers of the Ming army who escorted them, especially those Mughal recruits, they put on a show.Be more upright and let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty know that they are not so easy to buy, so that the price can be higher, right?
After the concentration, when the Ming army was still counting whether there were any remaining officers who hadn't come out, the officers standing there were all signaling with their eyes, don't be too soft, and don't be too soft when the Ming army says anything. Immediately agree, if you really want to do that, you won't be able to sell it for any money.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at these Mughal officers with no expression on his face.When the soldiers under him came back and reported that all the officers had been selected, Emperor Chongzhen spoke up and said, "I promised yesterday that those who surrender will not die. But last night, many people were unwilling to surrender and rebelled. If so, don’t blame me for being rude!”

As soon as these words were translated, many people were frightened immediately. Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was going to kill someone?
Just as they were thinking this way, groups of soldiers from the Ming army stepped forward, two against each other, and pushed the officers to kneel on the ground.Needless to say, the meaning of this action seems to be to take them under the knife.

This time, many officers were frightened.However, some military officers believed that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was playing hard to get, scaring them first, and then benevolent, so that they could recover them at a small price.

However, this time, they guessed wrong again.

I saw that Emperor Chongzhen made another decree, and then some Mughal recruits flying cavalry conveyed the emperor's decree: "Your Majesty has a decree, whoever wants to temporarily represent a hundred households, come out and register, and we will not wait when it is overdue!"

Baihu is the leader of the Centuries. This is similar in the Mughal army, because the Mughal Empire was an empire established by the Mongols.

Hearing this, the ordinary Mughal soldiers were all shocked. Is this a pie falling from the sky?
Or because of this, some people became suspicious.If you go out to fight for an officer position, what about the original officers?
In any case, one hundred thousand strokes, after all, there are some quick minds, no matter what else, they will be the first to sign up without hesitation.

Just a little bit of effort is almost enough for the number of people.

After hearing Emperor Chongzhen's decree again, Wu Sangui and others couldn't help but suddenly realized that this was how the emperor used the surrendered army!
To put it bluntly, it's actually very simple. Find a reason to kill the original officer, but it's not the Ming army who did it themselves, but those who want to stand out. If you vote for a certificate, you can give them some trust and let them lead the army. infantry.

As for why those Mughal recruits are not used, they are obviously more reliable in terms of loyalty.However, these Mughal recruits were just ordinary people before and did not know how to fight.It's okay to ask them to do chores, but if you ask them to lead the infantry and follow orders to fight, it's blind.

As for the temporary leaders who were promoted from the lowered soldiers, at least they knew some common sense about infantry warfare.Emperor Chongzhen did not require this infantry to be elite for use, as long as it could complete general military orders.

Soon, those soldiers who wanted to be temporarily acting as hundreds of households were all gathered at the side of Emperor Chongzhen and knelt down on the ground.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them all with their heads down, not daring to show their spirits, and said in a majestic voice: "I am very happy that you are enterprising. As long as you make military achievements in the future, you can remove the interim , and even get a higher military rank. I will destroy the Mughals, and your future is in your own hands."

Having said this, he asked the translator to pass on the message first.Seeing the excited faces of these surrendered soldiers, he said again: "Now, you go to execute those who intend to rebel again, and then you can assign your soldiers. After the team is completed, you can encircle the other Ming army." Delhi!”

These words of Emperor Chongzhen contain a lot of information.But these kneeling pawns are all quick-minded ones, and they can hear the whole meaning in one go.

Vote for certificates, no problem!If the original officers were not killed, it would be difficult for them, the temporary replacements, to secure their positions, right?

Is there another Ming army?Think about it, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is here, how can there be only such a few people?After destroying the Mughals, glory and wealth will be right in front of you!

Thinking of this, they all showed a grateful look, and killed the original officers without mercy.
